with donald trump. the press is paying attention to what president says and not what he does, he can speak in a very offensive manner about the press corp. but he s the president of the united states. hold on, hold on, brooke, let me finish. he speaks in an offensive fashion, i get that we all do, but then meets with the press corp. more than anybody i can think of held a marathon news conference, has done sit down interviews with the new york times, today show, 60 minutes you name it he is tremendously accessible. he came back on air force one and did his own on the record meeting with his reporters. is i hear you arie, but you would disagree with him in calling the media the enemy of the people, yes? oh, i already have, i already have, i tweeted that and said it publicly, i think it s too hot, it s wrong, they re not the enemy of the people.
children, some who doesn t han the resources of others, we fail as a country. education, criminal justice reform. we occupy prisons at a higher level per capita than any other group in america. we we need to have some real clear discussions and you know on the streets with all of the discussions about lives being lost to gun violence, let s have a discussion about gun violence, which repeatedly we ve sat in, we ve protested and asked for common sense gun controlecause it is a crisis in our community. these are things we need to talk about, economic development and jobs. we will see when that meeting happens what gets talked about. congresswoman brenda lawrence from michigan, thank you for joining us here. thank you so much for having me. coming up, we re separating fact from fiction from the marathon news conference yesterday. chronic, widespread pain drained my energy.
