donald trump, he would not be granted that access. this sends a terrible message to the rest of government, to the people who keep us safe. they play by the rules. they do the right thing, and basically the message is, screw you, it doesn t matter, there s a different set of rules for somebody who is related to the president. that is a wrong message to send. that is a demoralizing message. that is an insulting message to all of the people who keep us safe every single day. thank you both very much. members of congress are making waves including my next guest, congresswoman lucy mcbath, whose son jordan was shot and killed at the age of 17. it is a big reason why new gun control legislation passed in the house, the first in 25 years. it was here. i couldn t catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what s afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers.
