you that i put to senator toomey by some of the ideas that a republican president, donald trump, who s taken a good deal, $30 million or so, of money from the nra over the course of his campaign, some of the proposals he put out that sounded to an awful lot of people like a gun control agenda? you know, i was heartened by what the president said and some of the commitments that he made to see this through to the end. i represent a district in central florida that was deeply affected by pulse and i will tell you that my constituents in florida want to see us take action and this might be a nixon goes to china moment for trump. he might be the only president who can help us advance some common sense gun safety measures because as senator toomey said, nobody believes he s trying to take away anybody s guns. congresswoman heidi przybyla has a question for you. you say you re heartened by what you saw yesterday but 2013 was not that long ago and what we saw was this congress resistant
to the instant your new retirement account is funded. oh and at fidelity, you ll see how all your investments are working together. because when you know where you stand, things are just clearer. just remember what i said about a little bit o soul
will get a consensus within congress. look, pennsylvania is a big second amendment state, lots of folks own guns and have for generations, they don t think it s an infringement on the second amendment to do a three-minute background check to screen out the people who are dangerously mentally ill or violent criminals. we ought to respond to that. senator toomey, willie geist in new york. my question for you, and you face this uphill battle since you first introduced manchin/toomey years ago and you had your nra rating drop to a c at the time. sounds right. what is the resistance to this idea you re talking about? words in are the people that are preventing this from moving forward. the idea sounds common sense to a lot of people that there ought to be a background check on private sales, even on a sale at a gun show. what s standing in the way of that happening? well, i ll tell you, i think back in 2013 the argument that i heard the most was first of all
trump himself coordinate or collude? what did he know about the e-mails, not necessarily the dnc e-mails that coming out around that time, what did donald trump know about the clinton e-mails that were supposed to come out. that moment where he said russia if you re listening raised a lot of red flags as part of the reason from all we ve been able to tell that the investigation started. investigators want to know if it was scripted, ad-libbed, if he was trying to cover himself later or if it was off the top of his head. they found it so weird. you were on the front row of that press conference. i found it weird as well. he was asked about the dnc leaks and he went on to say he doesn t
care what russia does and then he makes that plea which took me by surprised and i raised my hand a few minutes later and ended up shouting a question doesn t that give you pause to say to a to ask a foreign power or say to a foreign power interfere on hack into the e-mail of anybody let alone your political opponent. he said it didn t give me pause at all. he ended that by saying russia, china, whoever is out there, find the e-mails. campaign wants to find at the tame and administration said he was just joking. he wasn t joking. i asked if he was joking and he doubled down. roger stone is a guy who always seemed to be a step ahead of everyone else. he s he wants to make you think he was a step head. saying john podesta is next. then the e-mails come out. how does he figure in. roger stone is someone that witness haves been asked about as well. he was only on the trump
