More americans are fighting just to hold on to what weve got because if incomes are growing, its not as fast as the cost of Prescription Drugs and saving for retirement, housing and education. And thats when the numbers on a page are looking good. Now that were starting to see a downturn coming out of the manufacturing sector, it just demonstrates how out of touch the president is and how destructive his policies have been. Hes managed to hang on, tack on an extra couple years to the obama recovery. That might be good news, but now were in a very precarious position as an economy and as a country, especially in places like the industrial midwest. Mayor pete, thank you so much for joining us.

that great reporting. as we mark two years after the las vegas mass shooting, tomorrow my colleague craig melvin will moderate the 2020 gun safety forum in las vegas. you re looking at it here, the top 2020 candidates will have an opportunity to present their plans to address america s gun violence epidemic. you can see it streaming live on msnbc news now and on msnbc.com. we ll be right back on this show with what our sources are saying.
up at the kind of elected official level. we saw this in 1994. in 1993 the congress passed the brady act which was broadly popular. then in 1994 they passed the crime bill that included the assault weapons ban. it turns out that the nra had a lot more power than democrats then really understood and that was part of what washed them out of the majority in 1994 and it probably hurt al gore in 2000. i think the opposite is happening now, where the public to your point has shifted back towards support for gun safety and the politicians, at least in the senate, haven t gotten the memo yet and they re about to. matt, thank you so much. i appreciate you joining me today. amazing. two years ago today. and be sure to tune in tomorrow night when our own craig melvin will moderate the 2020 gun safety forum in las vegas, featuring the top 2020 candidates, speaking to voters about their plans to address america s gun violence epidemic. it streams live all day on nbc
