gearing up for an historic trip to europe meant to strengthen american leadership overseas. after a week spend touting the administration s command of the economic situation here at home. yesterday the labor department announced 209,000 jobs were added in july. the white house touted he number as a sign of bidenomics inaction. alongside consumer-focused efforts to reduce jump fees and health care costs. and democrats and their allies are mobilizing in the wake of last week s rulings from the conservative dominated supreme court. with race based affirmative action band, legislators and lawyers are taking aim at so-called legacy admissions. we talk to one group suing harvard university for what some call affirmative action for the rich. in the meantime, it was a bloody-long independence weekend, as mass shootings rocked cities from coast to coast. kansas city mayor quentin once better law enforcement, but also tighter gun restrictions. he will join us shortly. and later you a
coalition, mayors against illegal guns, what have your conversations with other mayors in the group unlike this week? it has been frustrating. and in some ways astonishing what we keep dealing with in major cities. by the way these aren t just shootings that are happening in the largest of cities in america. you are seeing, you see consistently in america suburban communities, more increasingly rural communities with these types of mass shootings are happening. particularly for those of us in red states. tennessee for example, we have heard about nashville, remember the school shooting there. my own state. and wichita, kansas, the other day having a shooting outside of a nightclub. this is happening again and again and it can be prevented. i think the thing that is most interesting for most of us mayors who i talked to all the time, we are not looking to be extreme. we are looking to concealed weapons.
