my heart is heavy sitting next to you. i m so, so sorry for your loss, and thank you for being here and lifting your voices up to this discussion. we really appreciate it. thank you for having us. scott sounds like an incredible individual. we hear from the students that he touched and they describe his spirit, the way he had such a great sense of humor. you must be proudparence, first of all. how are you doing? scott is amazing. how are we doing? our stock answer is, we re doing okay. we are doing okay. we walked i will speak for myself, we walked into the march today, and the first thing i saw was a huge poster with scott on it. it was a blue poster. his picture on the poster. and i have to say, i lost it. i guess it was the moment that my denial, because denial is a
at least one of the republican candidates would consider the ban. if you are on the no fly list you can buy a firearm. does that need to be fixed? i would certainly take a look at it, i would. if you can t fly and you ve got some really bad i would certainly look at that very hard. he would look at it very hard. very hard, will. he would look at it very hard. that s a specific thing he would do. that s his stock answer for i have no idea what you are talking about. you can bring anything to donald trump and he will say yeah, i ll look into that. should we intern all of the muslims in cams? i ll take a hard look at that. he will say that to literally anything you could suggest. isn t that what someone is supposed to do? take a hard look at things. i can t even joke about them anymore. he seems to agree with president obama on this issue. what could possibly be the
