concert in an outdoor setting and not feel like it is an unsave safe experience? i think there is an offense answer to that. someone s right infringes on my rights the instant they start to menace me or threaten me with that weapon. it s difficult to use this particular shooting as some sort of paradigm with which to analyze the gun debate. i mean for a lot of the reasons that you have been talking about in your show, this is an extraordinarily unusual event on ground after ground after ground. but if you are talking about normal the normal life that we live in this country, your right to keep and bear arms infringes on my rights the instant you start to menace me. one of the things i would say in support of second amendment, that s exactly why i should be entitled to carry a weapon for example, to protect myself the moment that somebody else violates my rights in a life threatening manner. so when you hear about that, a gun owner and a second amendment
business. you are mgm. you are bally s. you are caesar s. and you look where do they fall how much of an impact could they have on this debate when at the end of the day if people don t show up to the strip that s a lot of lost revenue for the state? that s a great point, chuck. i m sure there is a lot of thinking going on inside all of these casinos based on the horrific actions that happened here. and you are right, it is a one-party state. but within that party, chuck, there are many factions. and the most powerful faction in some way is sheldon addleson and steven wynn. wynn is an official with the republican national committee. and addleson is also conservative. i haven t heard either of them speak out about guns. the head of the mgm resorts is much more of a left leaning guy.
president clinton or katrina with president bush. and i think there s a cost beyond the one place that is affected. what does he say tomorrow? i ll be honest, you can say, he s going awfully early. we don t know, usually in a case like this, there s a memorial service. i hate to say that we have a usual, but unfortunately there is a usual pattern. that is a difficult spot. if you don t go quickly, you don t go quick enough. if you go quickly, you go too quickly. it is a tough spot for an executive in a major national catastrophe to decide when to go. they don t want to cause a lot of commotion. it takes first responders off their other jobs. it is a tough call to make of when. cornell, i know you won t be asked for advice for the president but how would you advise him? i think it is tough timing. i don t know la the good timing
people in the fish barrel below you. in this incident it would have made a difference. going over the long term i don t think it s going to make a big difference. someone who is bent on committing mass murder i m not sure that would be much of a deterrent. david french, i want to leave it there. i know a lot of people who defend the second amendment don t actually want to come on tv at this point in time. i appreciate you coming on. thanks for having me. thanks. coming up, president trump left puerto ricoo an hour ahead of schedule today. we ll tell you what happened while he was on the ground in the storm ravaged u.s. territory.
so there is that real divide. but inside the republican party here as elsewhere, chuck, the nra has a lot of sway, and especially with the gun culture out in the republican rural counties you have dean heller who is running for re-election, has a primary against danny tarkanian, both of whom are going to be big second amendment guys, right? you have a governor s race where the grandson of the former senator and governor lacksalth is a conservative darling, he is the one who essentially held up the background check ballot that passed. right now we posted a statement from the governor who is under threaten of a lawsuit saying he is punting it back saying i ll implement it if lacksalth says week. nevada is a one party state. the party is the casino
