hear today. members left town last night. the house left on wednesday. they will see the pictures on television no matter where they are. there s a larger group here meeting. the students marched all the way to the white house. a program should last about an hour and a half. as we mentioned before, entirely student-led. in a sense this is a political demonstration, but this n this case, it s not been co-on tpted national figures. it s run and led by the teenagers. that s part of what s given this so much staying power. it s not dependent on political figures. garrett, i wonder, members of congress aren t at the capitol. they re home. they ve left. and i wonder if in some ways that s not a metaphor for some of what these students want. they want to see action. there habit hasn t been action so far in a significant
months six days ago at the park land shooting. yeah. i m sure it feels more recent to you. you were the guy that got into that confrontation with marco rubio at the town hall after the shooting. you you ve speengd met with senator rubio and others in what has now become your lifelong quest to get something done, to get something changed. all i care about is this mission to end gun violence. i m on a movement, i want to get gun safety, common sense gun safety passed in this suncountr. i will speak to anybody. senator rubio and i had a pretty abrupt introduction. sure. but i reached out to him the first time i went to d.c., he took time to meet with me and we had an extended meeting. when i was in d.c. this week we met again. my philosophy is if you stop talking to people, they won t be there to help you solve the problem. do you feel like you re
sense since the shooting two months ago. reporter: it s a little too on the nose. members left the house wednesday night and are home for the long weekend. they re not hear addressing the concerns. i can t help but think this is a part of the power of television. you have a situation where not just here in the capitol but in many of the member districts and every state, you re seeing these kind of walkouts. i think that s part of the effort here by these students. to make them unescapable. you may not be in your office when they show up, but you ll see it on television. your neighbors will see it. the people you run into at the grocery store will see it. by doing it on a national scale, these students are able to keep this front and center for members of congress whether congress wants to deal with it or not. right. garrett haake on the move. hopefully we ll get your camera working again and come back to you throughout the morning. this isn t just happening in washington on the rig
we secure our democracy? and that doesn t come up here at all. joyce vance, msnbc contributor thank you very how much for joining the show. we goont over to washington because that s where garrett hake is marching with those students who have walked out of their classrooms. they this h began their protest at the white house. they re now headed over to capitol hill. there s 2,600 schools including some in atlanta as you see right here are participating. garrett, bring us into the scene where you are. reporter: well, hallie, right now we are walking right past the president s hotel, actually. and the students are chanting vote him out. it s pretty clear he s the target of their ire here. the politicians they feel like have not been listening to them. i m standing with sophia, she s a student from northern virginia, one of the suburbs. why was it so important for you to be out here doing this today. we have to keep reminding people that gun control needs to
so for that reason they want to try to get more discovery, they want to get more of the facts out there. now, we learned yesterday, you know, that the inspector general referred of this case, that s the term, basically said here are our findings and turned them over to the u.s. attorney s office here in the district of columbia. mike cal prbromwich put out a statement jed saying they re confident this won t lead to charges and i think it s only fair to say that sometimes these ig referrals do lead to criminal charges and very often they don t. bromwich told us that the legal stand here is lower than it is in a normal case. it s reasonable grounds to believe a crime was committed. that s the basis for a referral, which is less than probable cause or less than beyond a reasonable doubt. so the point here is that mccabe is going to fight back. stev
