about being called junior senator from utah, being called junior is a complement if anything. he hopes, of course, to be the senator from utah and finally getting back to kelly, interesting enough, when you look at the poll numbers coming in right now shows him very early but strong candidate as compared to some of the other republican candidates, we have a lot of months ahead. the idea that there could be 8 other republicans jumping in, at least the latest possibility coming out of utah. you could have as many 12 people running for republican nominee, right now he s the clear front runner, kelly. kelly: the fact that he s in it would draw a lot of interest in utah. adam housely, good to see you, my friend. fox news alert, gun control front and center this weekend after the deadly school shooting in parkland, florida, this is a live look at a rally in fort lauderdale with hundreds of
mass shooting taking place in florida. i think we can t just sit and wait and hope and expect the things are going to get better because these things keep on happening. now, i ve looked at some federal legislation. i haven t seen any federal legislation that would have prevented these attacks, but exception maybe by the way for senator orrin hatch s proposal that he s been promoting enhance background checks. adam housely is live in los angeles with more and adam looks like mitt romney is trying for a comeback. yeah, the former governor of massachusetts, of course 2012 republican nominee for the presidential race is trying to get into the senate seat health by orrin hatch for seventh straight term, one of four candidates running on the republican side, pretty safe to say republican seat by most people standards. now announcement was push bad on
