tonight. she could be speaker again. she s going to have to fight for it. where is her head on all that matters? see for yourself. madam leader, it s good to have this opportunity. thank you. we are living a moment of history. however, we are revisited by something too common. your home state, california, another mass shooting. this time it seems to involve a veteran. do you believe there s any real chance of bipartisan action from congress that will help address why we have these shootings? i do. first let me join you in expressing sorrow over this mass shooting and the loss of the sheriff and every other life lost there. i do believe in this congress, the one we re in this minute, there is bipartisan legislation to have common sense background checks to prevent guns going into the wrong hands. it doesn t cover everything, but
this about the oath that we take to protect the people of the united states. when people vote, they should know that their vote will be counted and not distorted by a foreign power. our next question goes to culture. we have a recent graduate from howard university law school. i m bringing the lawyers early on. congratulations the graduation. thank you. hi, madam leader. thank you for being with us. my question is about donald trump. since he took office, there is been tremendous media coverage about his contradictory statements, allegations of sexual misconduct, his payments to a pornographic actress, the investigation with counsel mueller, the list goes on and on. how do you think about the image
