A week away. Serious questions about what this violence will mean at the ballot box, if anything, are arising. The president is falling back on his campaign playbook, in the meantime. Instead of uniting, hes dividing, blaming the media for the toxic political environment and continuing to target some of the same democrats who were the targets of sayocs bomb. Today in what looks like an effort to radically change the subject, trump is going even farther right on immigration. He is sending troops to the border, refusing to rule out suspending habeas corpus, and now claiming he can overturn a constitutional amendment all by himself. It was always told to me you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what, you dont. Number one, you dont need that. Thats very much in dispute. You can definitely do it with an act of congress. Now theyre saying i can do it just with an executive order. How ridiculous. Were the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is es
Concerning. And just a real human being and we would use the word menche. People are all part of the community, part of that fabric of what the community is. The people that were there saturday morning were doing what they do and that was worshipping in their safe space and that is what is so horrific about what happened to rose and cecil and david and the rest of our friends. Taken into my hospital and shouting i want to kill all the jews. Whats really tough is you see these events happening all over the country and the world and we dont know if its going to happen. We want the know when its going to happen. We turn to the leaders of our country. Weve got to stop hate and cant be just to say. We need to stop hate. We need to do. We need to act. Oftentimes after these Mass Shootings we get caught up in the whys and the howes of what happened and right now for this second, for this moment, lets focus on the ones who lost their lives. Joyce fienberg was 75, a mother of two sons. A resear
Tomorrow night . Yeah. Thank you, rachel. The president went to pittsburgh today you with the on invitation and with no one waiting to welcome him when he arrived at the airport. Usually when air force one lands anywhere in this country, the local mayor, no matter what the mayors party is, is there to greet the president. The governor is usually there, the United States senators, local members of congress often fly on air force one with the president. None of that happened today. No one in american politics, republican or democrat, wanted to have anything to do with the president s uninvited, largely unwelcome trip to pittsburgh. Republican speaker of the house refused the invitation, so did the leader of the United States senate and the Democratic Leaders of the senate and house of representatives. Pennsylvanias republican senator refused to accompany the president to pittsburgh. And pennsylvanias democratic senator refused to join the president in pittsburgh and was not invited to jo
Community. Its a trip that has gotten mixed reactions. The first funerals taking place for those killed. New u. S. Sanctions on iran are set to take effect next week. President trump says he has no quarrel with the iranian people, but at the moment, they are the ones who are already hurting. Much of italy is under alert for flooding from heavy rains, including venice, which has seen its worst flooding in about a decade. Because im happy pharrell isnt happy at all about President Trump using his song at a rally on the day of the pittsburgh massacre. Williams has sent a cease anddesist letter to President Trump. An amazing feat is set to go on full display in india. The worlds tallest statue. Stands nearly 600 feet tall, four times the size of the statue of liberty. Wow, thats incredible. Glor good evening. Im jeff glor. And this is our western edition. And we are going to begin tonight in pittsburgh with a , esidential visit, the first funerals, and a city wrestling with sadness and ang
Many broadcasts tonight began by telling you the name of a murdererer who killed 11 people in the synagogue behind me. They may show you his pictures and repeat his name so much that it will become as well known as other mass murderers whose names you probably remember. We hope history does not remember this killers name and we wont be saying it or showing you his photo in the hour ahead. Instead we want to take a few moments on those who really matter, on the 11 people who lived good and decent lives, loved by family, friends and leave behind them broken hearts and happy memories. Daniel stein was killed saturday. He was retired and according to his son didnt require much. His son said he was a simple man. His nephew said he had a dry sense of humor. And he was deeply loved and will be deeply missed. Daniel stein, we will remember.
