The death toll making this among the worst mass shooting in american history. Im pretty shocked. Im scared to be honest. I just want to find my mom. Someone needs to tell me where she is. After a month of President Trump stoking racial resentment. For law abiding citizens, not for criminal aliens. And daytonb, ohio nine more gunned down in the entertainment district. This is a very safe part of downtown and a popular destination for visitors. Ill talk to el pasos congresswoman escobar and speak to cory booker of new jersey. Joining me kasi hunt, and former republican governor of North Carolina pat mccrory. This is sunday and this is a special edition of meet the press. Announcer the longest running show in television history, this is a special edition of meet the press with chuck todd. Welcome to a tough sunday morning in america. The plague of Mass Shootings has reached twice now weve seen massacres with a death toll in the dozens. First in what appears to be an act of domestic terrorism in el paso, texas. On the mexican border. A 21yearold gunman walked to a walmart with a militaryAssault Rifle and killing at least 20 and wounding more than two dozen others ppt come on. Hands up. Hand up. Reporter as of this morning the death toll among the 10 worst in american history. Heres how witnesses described that scene. Kind of sounded liking fireworks and then they started coming closer together. Like the shots are going do, do, do do. Theres cops with guns saying get on your knees. I helped a little girl full of blood and the mother came around the corner. She was shot in the chest. A killer was shot and place under to custody. He posted an estessay and praised the killer at christchurch, new zealand. And now we have to ask whether his harsh words are inspiring violence. We woke up this morning to the news at at least nine more were killed in a shooting overnight in dayton, ohio. A shooter was killed by police. Add these two horrible incidents to the shooting in gilroy, california and wooer arer looking at one of the most deadly and unsettling events in history. More were killed in Mass Shootings in 24 hours than afghanistan in 2017 and 2018 combined. Weve got those stories covered this morning. And Pete Williams joins me now. So, pete, let me go in recent order here. We dont know much more about dayton. This happened past midnight beyond what we were able to just report there. Its about 1 00 a. M. , a popular bar in a popular night spot. One purerson heavily body armor with a high capacity magazine opens fire but why and who he is are not clear. He certainly was planning something or had planned it but we dont know motive beyond that. Motiveb seems apparent because of how prepared he was and what he was carrying. Now to el paso. Weave r weve learned a lot more about the first of all theyre searching his house, looking at social media, searched the house he was staying apparently the night before the shooting. About an eighthour drive. He lived in allen, texas, a suburb of dallas and dreev droveb to el paso, it appears that day. And were looking at the timeline. This essay posted online on an extremists website. Same website that the shooter of the synagogue, the white supremacist who did that one and the christchurch all posted on this same extremists website. Theres a real commonality but it appears this thing was posted 19 minutes before the first 911 call comes from the Shopping Center in el paso. Aware of this posting before they knew it was leading to a shooting. The essay on this attack the essay itself says hes been thinking about this. 21yearol. This threat off domestic terrorism. More people have been killed by or arrests made in connection with domestic terrorism than foreign terrorism. So theres been a real change since 9 11. After theb Oklahoma City bombing, domestic terror was the big thing and focussed on foreign terrorism. Now it appears its at least as big a threat and coming back to what you say. Theres a real commonality. The internet has speeded up the ability by which they inspire each other. Going to be a busy sunday for you. Busy week. Thank you very much. Joining me on the phone is the mayor off dayton. Our condolences to the city of dayton this morning. What more could you tell us overnight . I think thank you, chuck, for your condolences for our community. Our kmaucommunitys had a prett tough year already and what were most amazed by for this incident was that in under a minute the police were able to really stop the subject stop the shooter from shooting. And im amazed if they had not been on the site, we could have had deaths and injured in the hundreds because he had this aklike Assault Rifle he was using with high capacity magazines. It is startling how many how much carnage there was considering he was able to be stopped in less than a minute. How armd and how prepared was this gunman . This gunman had body armor on. He was carrying a. 223 high capacity magazine. So he was prepared to do some serious deaths inb our community. And obviously with nine fatalities in under a minute and over 20 people injured, im just incredibly grateful to the Police Department that stopped this action. For us in dayton, this is the second tragedy to hit our community this summer. First a tornado that hit the community in dayton in may. The difference is one was completely preventible and one of these tragedies has now happened 250 times this year in our country and yet nobody does anything about it. One last comment for elected officials in washington. I want to give you that forum. Im sorry . One last comment from elected officials in washington, one last comment you have for them about this incident . My question is 250. How many more cities have to go through Mass Shootings before somebody does something to change the law . I know youre busy this morning. Thanks for taking a couple minutes with me on the phone and again our condolences. Hang in there, dayton. Joining me from el paso is veronica escobar. Welcome to meet the press. And you were having a town hall meeting at the timef of this incident and all of the sudden a moment of frenzy a bit. Law enforcement officials telling you. Tell me more about how you learned off this incident in real time there. So chuck, we were having a town hall meeting and we were in the middle of our q and a when my staff approached me. I knew something was wrong. It felt unusual and i was told about the active shooter and that our law the forcement agents who were there to take care of us during the town hall and keep us safe there. They needed to rush over to the scene. And so we asked folks. We told them it was the end of of of the meeting. We told them we needed to calmly get home and stay home. My staff continue to follow the news and get updates. And it can kept getting worse and worse and worse. And were so grateful to ours. And to all of the medical personnel who have been working through the night to keep many of the victims alive. So im going toing ask you this. Were learning more about the shooter in el paso, a motive with him there. Simultaneously you heard the mayor off dant talk about 250 when it comes to having one of othese massacres happen on their watch. What do you see is your responsibility Going Forward as an elected official in washington d. C. How should you confront this . My primary responsibility right now is to be with the community, comfort the community. Beff oservice to the community. And i first want to say that el paso is one of the most compassionate, generous, kind, warm, loving communities in the country. Were standing in front of United Blood Services where people have been lining up to give blood over an hour in advance. Yesterday the line was wrapped around all the buildings where donations were taking place. Peephole to be turned away. With the Family Reunification Center food had to be turned away because there was so much in aburnedance. So my primary responsibility is here with my kmunlt. But as a legislator, all of us we have to talk about whats really happening. And we have to speak the truth. Its not wlaults kwhau whats tlr truth . Not that we just a gun epidemic in this country but we have a hate epidemic. I know its been a rough 24 hours for you and your community. Hang in there. Were all with you. Thank you. And joining me from san antonio, former housing secretary, julio castro. Secretary castro, welcome back to meet the press. I know you have a lot of contacts in texas government. What more can you tell us about what youve l weve learned have been released. There were about 20 individuals killed. That this gunman was in his early 20s, a white male and of course theres tremendous amount of grief and sadness and all of us are thinking about the families in el paso who have been victimized. This is going to spark a couple of of conversations. One is on domestic terrorism and one is on our gun culture. What do you see here as what we need start tackling . We need tackle both of these things and unfortunately as weve seen time after time theyre related. On the one hand its clear what we can do to cut down on the number othese incidents. We need commonsense gun reform. This happened in texas, a state that has one of the highest rates of gun ownership. Concealed carry, open carry. The shooter knew that hed be walking into a store where a lot of people would be carrying a gun. That did not deter him. The answer is not more people with guns. The answer is to make sure that especially the semiautomaticing weapons, weapons of war not on the street and that we do things like universal background checks and red flag laws so people that shouldnt have their hands on weapon dont get them in the first place. At the same time theres a toxic brew in the United States and this is just one more example of that, of White Nationalism. The manifesto that apparently this shooter wrote that says that hispanics are taking over the state of texas and changing the country. This echoes the kind of language that our president encourages, talking about invaders and that others who talk about people bringing can disease and changing the culture. This idea of replacement. Theres a very toxic brew of White Nationalism that is arising. A i know that doesnt effect by any means the vast majority of americans. But unfortunately what we see is an increasing number of incidents and so we need Pay Attention to this and we need do something about this. The fbi director has said that this is a particular problem right now in the United States. The president of the United States the president of the United States has not, righting . The director of the fbi has acknowledged there is a rise in White Nationalism thats tied to domestic terrorism. The president has not. Is there any constructive role he can play or because of how often he uses the language of off racial resentment, does he just not have the credibility to anything to fix this problem . This president started his campaign in 2016 on a path of racial resentment and fanning the flames of off bigotry. Thats how he believes he won in 2016. Thats how he thinks hes going to win in 2020. Unfortunately he doesnt have any credibility anymore. When he didnt step up right away and condemn the neonazis in charlottesville. Allowing that crowd for 13 seconds to chant send her back a couple of of weeks ago, he doesnt have credibility. But like all americans i hope, i still hope this president will do what most psresidents have done throughout our country is we have to do everything we can to unite americans instead of fantling the flames of bigotry. Have to be a big enough man in these moments to do that. Not many republicans have used that language. Do you think others need to in order to get the president to see this problem . I wish they would call it out, that they would be honest about whats happening here. Because you know and i know very well that if this had been somebody of the muslim faith that had committed this kind of act, immediately they would go to this idea, this bogus idea that we need keep all muslims out of the country, which is ridiculous. I think instead what we need do is address the issue with commonsense gun reform and also address this toxic White Supremacy that is brewing in the country. I know its a tough day for texas. Tough day for america. More people dying in the last 24 hours than we had troops die in afghanistan the last two years. Its been a rough weekend. Thank you for coming on the chair. And lester holt will anchor the weekly nitely news tonight from el paso. Still to can come. White house its perspective. White house its perspective. Volunteerism. Fundraising. Giving back.

Could there be another around the corner . Or could it turn out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fda approved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be surprising. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Mno kidding. Rd. But moving your internet and tv . Thats easy. Easy . easy . Easy.

Welcome back to meet the press. I know on the issue of guns nobody has a more aggressive plan to tabbal it than you. But i want to set the policy prescriptions aside and how do you assess what were go through in the last 24 hours and what weve seen, particularly in el paso . Obviously we all are greaving for the victims, their families and the people who are going to have a long painful road to recovery from gun violence. I want to speak with moral clarity right now because i worry that were having conversations that dont just focus on an understanding that we are all responsible to each other in this country. We have moral bonds and fabric othis is country. We have a president of the United States who is particularly responsible. I have in my head the idea of we reap what we sew and this harvest of hate violence were seeing lies at his feet. When you have the president from the highest moral office in our land talking about invasions and infestations, the kind of things that come out of his mouth. Its so harmed the moral fabric of our nation. Hes responsible. Hes responsible when hes taken no action whats oevrl to condemn White Supremacy, even when the it head of the fbi is talking about that. We have a president not taking that responsibility, whos doing a nothing to address the deepening crisis in our country of this kind of violence. Okay. What can he do . Youve outlined where he may not have credibility with Many Americans to do this and obviously were not going to get into whether he has the history of being able to somehow admit if if hes wrong or i dont want to get into that. Is there anything he can do in your mind that would at least begin a healing process here . So chuck, its not that he doesnt have the credibility. Please understand what im saying. Im saying the president is contributing to whats going on now. Hes sewing seeds of hatred. What can he do are two things that must be done. One is we need to deal with this issue of guns in our community. Ease of access. The fact you can be on the terrorist no fly list and fail trunk full of weapons at gun store from a casual seller. We have a uniquely american problem because of the uniquely american phenomenon that anyone who wants to kill somebody can easily find a loophole. I have the boldest plan but its based upon evidence. If you need a license to driveb a car in this country, you should have a license to buy a gun and possess it. We know states that have done that have dramatically dropped the levels of violence. The problem is we have a patchwork of laws in this country. Someone who cant get a gun in california, shoot over to another state that has lax gun laws. So there are specificing things we should be doing that are commonsense and again the moral fabric of our nation. We have a country right now that is boiling over in hate. We have seen this before. My parents grew up in a generation trying to overcome lynchings and violence over africanamericans, bombings of churches of little girls and we came together, a black and white and christian and jewish and did something about this but we have a bhooz not only is incapable of that kind of love but hes stoking hate. Hes responsible for the crisis in this country and doing nothing to actually solve it. There is one republican i know of calling this white spremism is. If the president doesnt accept the responsibility that you believe he has, what would you like the other elected republicans to do . Well, to me Martin Luther king said so eloquently not only do we have to do but had appalling silence of the it good people. There is a complicity in the president s hatred that undermines the goodness and the decency of americans, regardless of what party. To say nothing in a time of rising hatred. Its not enough to say im not a hate mongeringer myself. If youre not actively working against hate, callinging it it your complicit in whats going on. This is a moral moment in america where demagogues and fear mongers have risen. We need moral clarity and healing in our nation. Obviously we had booked you before these incidents. We were going to having a longer conversation about the campaign in general. But i appreciate you coming on and sharing your views on this.

And go see, fast furious presents, hobbs shaw. Now playing. Welcome back. Im joined now by the white house chief of staff, mr. Mulvaney. Welcome back to meet the press. It looks like we lost our satellite connection with mr. Mulvaney. Let me bring in todays panel we have with us. Kasie hunt our chief white house correspondent. And the former North Carolinaic governor, Ileana Johnson of politico. This is one of those mornings. Lot of breaking news and moving parts here. Kasie hunt, capitol hill, the Immediate Response here politically has been extraordinarily uneven. Democrats believing there is an easy way to explain whats going on here as cory booker said its time to speak with moral clarity. And really only george pete bush being the lone republican out there calling this what it is. One thing we have to consider here is republicans fundamentally lack diversity it on capitol hill and here in the capitol and when you consider what the el paso shooter wrote about heading into this and you consider george p. Bush, his mother, hispanic american. He is somebodyb w who has a dee understanding of that community and clearly was personally identified in that document that shooter called out. You dont really have that here in washington. I mean the only black republican in the house announced hes retiring. Will hurd in texas down in that yafria and this is morning were all struggling to find the right words to grapple with this and weve had so many conversations in this country, tragic conversations about how do we keep assault weapons out of the hands of psycho paths . And this conversation is so much bigger. Does the white house accept, which is pretty much now a universal that we have a White Nationalism problem leading to domestic terrorism. George p. Bush sees it, Christopher Ray sees it. I dont think we have evidence in the white house yet i dont think the president himself accepts that. But what i think is undeniable apart from what the white house believes normally im loathe to blame politicians. I dont think it was Bernie Sanderss fault that they shot up republican law makers and i typically wouldnt say its Donald Trumps fault that anyone acting on his behalf did something awful. I think the president has changed the way people think its acceptable to treat their political opponents. Friday he tweeted, seeming to celebrate a robbery. Elijah cummings saying too bad, exclamation point. I think he bears responsibility or makes it easy to blame him for acts like this, given statements like that, even though he did tweet something seemingly appropriate today. And i do think that trump has sort of brought on increasing sort of brutality towards the political our political opponents that is generally unwelcome. Can you defend any of this . The president s words and statements. Do you believe hes contributed to this toxic view . I disagree with cory booker. I dontb think you blame a pall it titian. You blame the person who did it. I blamed oswald, brener, james earl ray, hinckley. Haunting Charles Whitman who, when i was a small kid in Elementary School went to a tower and shot students from a tower in austin, texas. I didnt blame linden been as johnson but theres no doubt the president s to the come out with a strong listen, there are White Nationalists and nuts and dangerous people including my state that need be called out. That attacked my car just blocks from here in a taxi cab and jumped on my hood with hoods on them. We have to call out radical left wing groups and not give them any credibility whatsoever. I want to give you a moment here because youve been on the forefront of talking about this White Nationalism issue. I think in a good way making people uncomfortable when you would talk about it. Its time address it. We seem to have shifted the conversation a bit. Yes. So its one thing for people to recognize we have a White Nationalist problem. We werent there a year ago. We werent there a couple of months ago. Its also important to understand the line, the connection. What does it mean to have a discourse in which people are dehuman isised. Where you use a phrase like illegal immigrant . Where the phrase itself places the person outside a certain kind off decency . What happens when we use language like infestation, children. You used this, governor. Children carrying per happens disease across the border. You set the stage for people on the extreme act violently. We are in a cold civil war. We are in a cold civil war. And theres some people who bear the burden off it. Theres some of us who bear the burden. You could not blame anyone other than oswald. My parents had to worry about other folk because we grew up in mississippi. You had the luxury not to worry about the context. But we had to grow up in it. So here we have children in el paso right now who just witnessed their family members, their friends shot down because somebody thinks theres a hispanic invasion of the country, which is almost exact same language of the president of of the United States. If you cant condemn that without making equivalency moves. Im not going to condemn people who use illegal immigrant ing. Why not. Let me speak. We have laws on the book against illegal immigration. If we get rid of those laws no human being is illegal. Thats not what year talking about. Thats not the conversation were having. Linden banes johnson was not out there when Lee Harvey Oswald shot kennedy talking about race and giving incentives. What do you expect the president of of the United States to say after Something Like this happens and leading up to it . There are clips of him in florida where somebody yelled at his rally shoot the immigrants and he said maybe you could only get away with that here. That is the conversation were having. I agree 100b with your comment right there that we have to lower the rhetoric everywhere including the president of the United States, including some of the president ial candidates, including cable tv. Including the internet, which is exploded the attempt to defend the president , theres always this let me bring in other and i think politically some of us understand why republicans are doing that right now because theyre afraid of crossing this president publicly. Thats what this looks like. How do you get him to confront what hes doing if there is almost sort of a rationalizing off it . Ive said negative things about the president before. I know you have. And some say thats why kw4r78 rr not in the administration. The entire mindset of what has been elected republican one elected republican called this what it is, White Nationalism. Ill call it right now as a republican White Nationalism and ive seen White Nationalism. I dont think its as big as the National Media portrays it. Weve had a shooting in pittsburgh by a White Nationalist and now this. Thats not a small thing. The amountf opeople involved but with the weapons they have and the rhetoric is extremely dangerous. I hope youre right its a small number of people. I hope i am too. I hope youre right about that. This is charlottesville and this is now. Is the president not kp coming forward and saying people in charlottesville, the president saying i dont accept those people as my supporters. This person didnt explicitly mensed trump but if he thought he was act on my behalf, i dont accept his support. I think thats what a lot of republicans would like to see him do. Im unwilling because he agrees with what theyre saying or doesnt want to lose the Political Support of people who he believes are his most enthusiastic supporters. Thats a foolish reason not to do it. Im going to take. Im going to take anced solut. Try greattasting boost glucose control.

I know this is a tough morning for all americans. George p. Bush which is a statewide elected Office Holder in texas. What he tweeted earlier. There have now been multiple attacks from selfdeclared white terrorists in the United States in the last few months. This is a real and present threat we must denounce and defeat. Do you recognize that i heard the tail end of bookers thing and most of the panel. I know this is a political show but the level of rhetoric in the last 20 minutes, i hope someone else is bothered by it other than me. Weve moved straight past the sympathy and what caused this and trying to figure out whos to blame. Was buernie sanders responsible for my friends being shot playing baseball . I dont think he was. Was ocasiocortez responsible use thing same rhetoric she used. Was she responsible . I dont think she was. If someone on your panel, i couldnt see their faces, called out today as a white national, is the person on your panel responsible . Im disappointed at the level of rhetoric. Do we have problems . Absolutely we do. Do we have White Supremacists crazy and nuts and dangerous. Of course we do. You dont accept the fact that the president s rhetoric has been a contributing factor at all . I blame the people who pull the trigger, chuck. Goodness graciouses. Someone really blaming the president. These people are sick and until we address why people think this way. This is a sick person. You can read the things the person wrote now available to the world. If you do read that, hes felt this way for a long time since before President Trump got elected. Thats my question for you. What is the president doing . In fairness, mr. Mulvaney the president has spent the last month stoking racial resentment in different ways and you can try to rationalize that he was speaking about specific incidents but taken together these sick people as youre describing, they hear what they want to hear. Does the president not have a responsibility to speak with a higher moral clarity when it comes to violence, a higher moral clarity when it comes to refugees . Evenb if he did speak the way you want him to speak and i get people dont approve of the verbiage. But your point you just made is right. People are going to hear what they want to hear. My guess is this guy is in the parking lot inb that walmart doing this even if Hillary Clinton is president. And hed probably blame Hillary Clinton for doing it. These are crazy people. Sick people. And until we figure out why were creating this many people and why were giving them wide audiences on social media, why were making weapons available to them when they probably shou shouldnt get them. Lets talk about background checks. And booker a chance to run for president by blaming donald trump. Let me go back to this issue of whielt nationalism. The administration wanted to deemphasize a focus on this issue. Christopher ray has said this is a rising problem. I think you accept it. Does the president accept this a rising problem . Let me answer it this way. I talked to the president right after el paso, texas was made known to us in the white house. The first phone call he makes was to bill barr, the attorney general. He ultimately called the governor of texas and the governor of ohio. But his first phone call was to bill barr to find out how we can stop this stuff from happening in the first place. Yes, he feels the same way everybody watching the show kp w the exception opof cory booker which is saddened and angry and thats what we should be talking about. Not whether it gives one partary or another a leg up. Its not about whether theres a leg up thats what the entire cory booker interview was about. I dont want to get into his motives. But the president uses dehumanizinging rhetoric and this person used invasion you say some people dont like his ret rb. Does the president not have a responsibility to heal this nation . Is he not president of all americans . It seemps hes more worried about how his base is going to react than how the american moral fabric is protected . Absolutely the president of all americans. I heard the Panel Discussion about illegal immigration. Using that term somehow contributed to what happened in el paso, texas. Thats about border policy and the president actually supports legal immigration, something that didnt come up. Were going to have policy discussions. But you show me how you feel about the president and ill show you who i think is responsible. You brought up a background check issue and thats not something you voluntarily brought up in the past. Is this a president suddenbly willing to get through the gun check loophole . Of course you know we signed a bipartisan background check legislation last year. Not on what people were trying to get when it comes to the gun show loophole. We helped fix the background check. Something i know a lot about. The shooter in charleston, south carolina, dylan roof bought the gun because the background check system was broken. Automatic weapons are illegal but there was a device that turned automaticing into emiautomatic. I cant believe five hours after the shooting moving to these types of off discussions. Unfortunately it does appear this was a political motive of this domestic terrorist. This was a political motive by a crazy person with a gun. How do we stop crazy people from getting guns . If we cant figure out a way to prevent that from happening, lets try to fix what allows sick people to get these weapons. Thank you for your time and sharing your viewesses. I appreciate it.

I can give less than a damn what he thinks. He wouldnt even acknowledge it was an attack. He said it was a person crazy with a gun. If it was a muslim, it would have been a terrorist attack. When it is white men engaging in this sort of action, we get this account that we want to go to their Mental Health. Lets stip late that they are crazy. Everybody who kills somebody is crazy. But there is an ideology at work here. You use the same language that we heard. For a lot of folk in this country who are black and brown. For folks who are not white men, it feels as if some white men have lost their minds and we have to bear the burden of it. Probably the back and forth here is that does the president s language matter or not . Just what the president s language has been over the last few months. We have to end human smuggling, stop Human Trafficking, shut down sank u wary cities. When you see these caravans, its an invasion. I was criticized for using the word invasion. Look at the people they put in these lotteries. It is a disgrace. A disgrace. Is it fair to hold the president s words responsible for some is of his words and whether or not hes contributing. Not those words. I disagree with my friend. Using the word illegal immigration, mick is totally right. Lets talk about invasion and things like that. You look at the numbers of people coming across the border. By the way, this is not just true with United States and mexico. It is invasion from central america. Venezuela is having a similar issue, parts of europe has this problem. An invasion, why cant it be a refugee crisis . Where words matter, why cant it be a refugee crisis . We are getting into political correctness. An invasion is hostile, a refugee crisis is not. To the Border Patrol people who are threatened. If this was happening at the airport and people were rushing to customs, we would say this is a serious problem. What i take issue with what mulvaney said. He said this is a crazy person with a gun. When a particular group is targeted by a mass murderer, whether jews or others in el paso. They need to talk about that. Hispanics feel uncomfortable now. He did get comfortable with the rise in antisemitism. He wont on this. It would behoove the president to acknowledge that aspect of this crime and say all americans are with this countrys Hispanic Community right now. Thats what hes failed to do in the wake of these incidents. Youve been tweeting, we stand with the hispanicamericans today. It is hard to concede with that. We are waiting to see if the president steps up or not. Clearly, we are all saddened by what happened. We are all concerned by these communities where it is absolutely true. It is rather astonishing to me that we want to blow straight through this conversation we are having about the rhetoric and what it means and talk about things related to gun control, which normally they would never bring up. He almost was hoping it would be a gun control conversation. We cant stop talking about Human Trafficking and drugs. As a mayor, ive seen the impact of that. We cannot deny the language in a total debate. At the end of the day, we have to decide who we are going to be, chuck. There is a moral question, not just a political question.
