if the elections were held next week, chris, the answer would be yes. but it is an eternity. as the three of us know so well, look at the news cycle and the pace of change. there is no way anticipating where we will be and what the issues will be first and foremost at the time of the midterm election. the whole mueller probe you would think by then will have reached some sort of culminat n culmination. a lot of things that seemed to denigrate the kids s passion or motivations. as you know, it has been implied they are pawns of some sort of invisible hand. rick santorum, who is former pennsylvania senator and one of our cnn analysts, he was saying something pretty provocative about what he thinks the kids should be doing instead of marching. so listen to this. how about kids, instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about taking cpr classes or try
santorum dismissed what he called all of this phony gun laws. how about kids do something about taking cpr classes or try to deal with situations where there is violence. i would ask you, they took action. they took action and asked someone to pass a law. they didn t take action how do i deal with this problem? what will i do to help respond to a shooter? those are the kinds of things where you take it internally and say this is how i deal with this and i ll help the situation. this weekend, survivors of the stoneman douglas high school massacre led the march for our lives across the country delivering a powerful message that the washington message on gun violence must end.
it for you, katie. listen. how about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem do something about maybe taking cpr classes or trying to deal with situations that where there is a violent shooter how are they looking to other people? they took action. they took action and asked someone to pass a law. they didn t take action and say how do i as an individual deal with this problem. so the criticism katie from the senator there is he says the students like you who are marching are asking other people to solve the problem pass a law instead of doing something yourselves. he suggested learn cpr. what is your reaction to that? obviously the message we re saying is a team effort. we re not expecting to carry this or adults to carry this. we want to work together. we don t have the power to pass a law. we can t do that. if we could, we certainly would. what we do have the power to do

dvr. our producers watched the sunday shows so you don t have to. thousands of students filled the streets. they marched in hundreds of cities and towns across the country. the march for our lives. the largest march on washington. i think this time it s different. people want changes here. they gotta keep it up. what we don t want to do is start stripping rights away from law abiding citizens. how about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem do something about maybe taking cpr classes. this week, the president continued to dismiss advisers. he is bringing people in who are on his team. i think he thrives on chaos. maybe that s the way to run a reality tv show. it s not the way to run the greatest country in the world sg. the president told me he is perplexed by the reports there is chaos. another potentially explosive
