From dayton and i want to thank my colleagues brown and stabenow from joining and as well as congressman escobar from texas and representative thompson who chairs the Gun Violence Prevention Task force. We are here today for one simple reason too Many Americans are losing their lives to gun violence. Too many families are just weeping because they have lost loved ones. I was at the airport today and a gentleman came over the me and i did not know who he was, but he said thank you for what you are doing, because i lost my nephew to gun violence last year. Americans are suffering from this abundance of gun violence in america. Last month, Mass Shootings claiming 51 lives in el paso, dayton and odessa and to say nothing of the hundreds of lives lost by daily gun violence throughout america. Enough is enough. Congress is returning to session, and our first order of business should be to pass the bipartisan hr8, because this legislation is the quickest way to help save american lives and bo
Anniversary of the september 11th attacks but President Trump overruled them and then this weekend he changed his mind blaming a Suicide Attack the taliban claimed credit for that killed an american soldier and 11 others in kabul announcing it on twitter which came as a shock to even the people involved in the negotiations. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle quickly condemned the plan. The whole thing doesnt quite make sense to me and it is just another example of the president treating Foreign Policy like its some kind of game show. This isnt a game show. These are terrorists. Negotiations between nation states can happen there but a terrorist organization that doesnt recognize nation states, it kills innocent women and children, denies the right of women to be in the same room as husbands is a minor part of the terrible things to do, to have them at camp david is unacceptable. Joining me is Sarah Westwood and kylie atwood. We dont often hear from the Vice President breaking with th

All right, next im going to turn it over to chief biehl for an update on the investigation. Thank you, mayor. I am joined this afternoon with todd wicker ham, special agent in charge at the fbi office. We will provide a brief but important update.

His new plan. Pushback over the president s plan to come to el paso and might those visits cause more pain than comfort. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. We begin with the national lead. President trump now planning to visit the communities where two men committed horrific acts of gun violence and carnage killing at least 31 innocent people. The president will go to both el paso, texas, and dayton, ohio, tomorrow. In el paso right now the alleged domestic terrorism is talking to Police Telling them he got lost when he first arrived in the city after having driven for 11 hours from the dallas area to begin his racist murderous rampage and in dayton where the shooter was killed on sunday morning, a picture of the murderer who killed his own sister and others as details come from his social media accounts and those who knew him. The twitter account belonging to him suggest he had a long time interest in violence and described himself as a metal head and a leftist. Now to dayton where
Now. The underlying fundamentals remains strong. We know stocks rebounded yesterday. The president said, the stock market is great. The reason for the decline is tariffs. Were only down around 3 4 of a percent for stocks. The other big picture here is, what does that mean, does the trade deal get easier to reach or is this only an issue between china and the United States. Did the president show his cards here and say hes afraid of the trade deal impact on the u. S. Economy. Did he just say to china, you can play harder ball here, because im afraid of stock market weakness . Americans who are watching who either have college debt or paying mortgages or thinking of their 401 k s, what are they to think about all of this, theres a lot of noise right now, they have to expect a lot of volatility, its difficult, its worrying, but i think we take a step back here and say, if you look here today, the stock market is up double digits, the u. S. Economy, the underlying fundamentals remain prett
