because marco rubio talked about change. it is the first time i personally have ever heard him talk about changing the age from 18 to 21, from, you know, even talking about the assault weapons ban. that is fantastic. people need to remember that this is going to happen in small steps if it is going to happen at all. and if we want the momentum to keep going we need to to keep going with the small steps. "i" again very thankful for marco rubio and hopefully will be able to talk to him again soon. >> what do you say -- i was watching marco rubio is getting beat up but he showed up. this happens when lawmakers go back to hometowns and many times we don't see the townhalls or q and a's. we did during the obamacare debate. but what do you say to lawmakers who didn't show up? are they afraid to answer questions about the stance on guns and the flar and how we fix this? >> i don't think they're afraid. i think they're not prepared. i don't think they'll ever be prepared for something as strong as me and my colleagues, friends, fami

>> i really want to believe marco rubio. and i think the challenge is whether it is marco rubio or others, it is hard to take them at their word. you talked about how much money he has received from the nra. the nra is a treacherous point for those of us who believe in protecting lives above guns. revenue is what governs the nra and they are quite literally in the pockets of members of congress. until members of congress decide that our lives trump no, pun intended at all, we'll be in a really tough position. so it is hard to believe what he says. >> let's talk about that. the nra spent $3.2 million to support rubio in the last elections. tonight we saw him change his position in at least three gun issues. he says there. the age of people buying guns, articling teachers, is this a tipping point? >> not only a tipping point. a significant moment. when you look at what senator rubio did tonight, he is the senator for that state. you have thousands of grieving people. the whole country is grieving for the 17 and the impact of t

your senator, marco rubio, did come. i want to to play yet another clip from last night's town hall where survivovors of the massace at stoneman douglas high school question republican senator marco rubio. this is fred guttenberg, whose daughter jamie was killed in parkland shooting last week. >> your comments this week and those of our president have been pathetically weak. [applause] so you and i are now i to i because i want to like you. look at me and tell me guns or the factor in the hunting of our kids in the school this week and look at me and tell me you accept it and you will work with us to do something about guns. >> i think what you're asking about is the assault weapons ban. >> yes, sir. >> let me be honest. if i believe that law would have prevented that from happening, i would support it. but i want to explain you why it would not. daughter, rubio, my running down the hallway at marjory stolen douglas -- stoneman douglas, was shot in the back with an assault weapon, the weapon of choice. it is too easy to

one of those was marco rubio's. and it was more than $3 million. having said that, money dai-- >> do we doubt that marco rubio doesn't believe this, that he's taking the positions because -- >> he's taking the positions because nra members vote for him. >> and whether that's something he should be reconsidering, i don't know. i do think these kids come up and they're very angry, obviously very angry and very motivated to say something. but i think that going in front of these kids and addressing their anger and their concerns, you know, has to have an effect on the way that they at least consider maybe they're getting these donations from the nra but taking these positions that sort of cut against the nra, i think people like marco rubio are in a stronger position to do so because where else is the nra going to go? on 95% of the issues rubio is going to be with them. >> you saw some of the kids thanking him for coming, even though they didn't agree with him and they were critical to his face, that people appreciated he stood up, and he was the only

>> i thought it was a great moment for marco rubio. a lot of political consultants would say don't do it, what's to be gained from this? in fact, florida governor rick scott who has met personally with survivors and families of victims decided not to go. marco rubio went in there. he knew he was going into a hostile environment. people are understandably frustrated and outraged and they might want to take it out on him. so i think it took a lot of courage and i think even though it was a very tough environment for him to go into, i hope the lesson is that this is something more politicians need to do, be willing to go places where your advisers may say tread lightly here. >> the students who may not have been satisfied with what he was saying, i hope they appreciate at least he was there. julie, you wrote the lead story in "the new york times" about the president's listening session at the white house. we saw pictures of the note card he was holding in his hand with the questions and the final note at the end, reminding him to tell the

the fact that marco rubio showed up at that town hall at cnn is amazing to me. i respect him for that but the fact that our governor rick scott didn't screams volumes. the thing i hate most about this situation, it's being politicized. rock scott is trying to make a move for the senate where he's -- if you notice, a lot of the gun legislation and reforms they're trying to implement go in effect next year, right around his election? is that a coincidence? i think it's not. >> you're planning a pretty big march, a march for our lives, as a parent it's tragic for me to hear y'all say march for your lives. you attracted this -- this march has attracted a lot of support, oprah winfrey donated, george clooney donated. gucci has donated $500,000. the right is claiming you all are being led around by celebrities, by george soros. you're response. >> i'm so sorry to each and every one of you out there attacking us as witnesses and victims of this incident it's saddening to see how many of you lost faith in america. we haven't and we are not going to. you might as well st

what did you want marco rubio to say to you? >> the truth, and that he understo understood. this behind us, these are my children, went to school. my daughter won't be anymore. my son i'm supposed to send back here next week. the school was a hunting ground, and i wanted him to say the truth. i wanted him to be honest about this weapon of choice because these cars going by us, you can't drive a car through a school as a weapon. you can't use a knife. you might cause some injuries, you won't have the level of destruction. handguns won't cause this level of destruction. i wanted him to say the truth. >> what did you think of his response to you? >> i want to wrap my arms around marco and tell him i love him, and i want to tell him thank you for helping us with this. last night i thought his response was as weak, as i said his comments over the past week have been. i want marco to join with these kids. these kids have been fierce and unafraid. marco last night, and i'm sorry -- senator rubio last night continued a pattern that is not deserving of anyone's support. i want him to

those are things that the president and marco rubio are focused on. david: we are seven and a half months from a midterm election. world, as youal look out from your experience, is it likely this gun control issue will endure through november so it will be a real issue, particularly in the congressional race? or will it be about tax cuts or something else? alex: it is far too soon to predict. thertunately, this isn't first mass shooting we have had in an election year. attention spans are very short and people move on after a couple of weeks. that is part of the reason why gun control legislation has always stalled in the past. students have been saying they are going to do a march on washington next month. it is completely possible this is a tipping point and gun control does become an issue in the midterms. i don't know if that helps democrats at all. i would argue it probably hurts them more than it helps them. there is a special election outside of pittsburgh in a rural part of pennsylvania for a house seats that republicans should win, but it is

the first thing we have to say is good for you, marco rubio. this is the time when lawmakers hide but when leaders lead. we asked you to come on the show early on, you didn't do it. last night you did something a lot more brave. you went in and faced the emotion, faced the parents, and spoke the truth even though it wasn't always popular. that's what we need. with haven't heard from ryan. we haven't heard from mcconnell. bravo to marco rubio. at least he was there and being represented. fair point? >> fair point. he knew he was walking into a room of constituents that was angry, frustrated and wouldn't agree. that is the courage of your convictions facing constituents. good for him. he broke with the nra. >> what are the two things he did last night they wouldn't want him to do. >> the nra came out against the age of buying an ar-15. he was in favor of it. the president has backed bump stocks. they will ask the justice department to move forward. rubio said capacity magazines, going a little further. that is significant. he didn't please the au

i also got to say, too, marco rubio, it was a rough night for marco rubio. i didn't like a lot of his answers. they sounded pat. marco rubio showed up. there was a dialogue when he was being shouted down. that's what more elected leaders need to do. that's a strike down the middle of the play. i think it's good. >> well, and i think that -- i agree his answers were pat but you have to know that he showed up. he experienced what he experienced. he heard from the victims and their families themselves. and that was raw. and it was incredibly powerful. and just like the president and the president's team, listen to the families. it may have an impact over time. you don't go to bet td the same person after an experience like this. >> this is the millennial moment. >> yes. >> and you're going to watch this, folks, this is not just florida, this is going to spread through that millennial vein across the country. the status quo ante is about to fall down. >> we leave you now with what he said this morning. he puts it perfectly. he lost his daughter jamie to the mass

it is muscle memory for people like marco rubio. they know if they change their tune, they will have to deal with the nra. that's why young men luke cameron who just spoke on your air, make me feel so good. young people standing up and joining adults who have been banging this drum for a long time. i don't know if it will make a difference. congress a hard place. but getting more people on board will force people out of sheer shame like marco rubio to start addressing this issue. >> obviously this is a very emotional issue. if you put the emotions aside, if you can, the facts don't support what marco rubio was saying. look at connecticut. after connecticut, i don't have to tell you, that's your state, after newtown, everybody thought things would change. congress couldn't figure out how to do it. so your state of connecticut did it on its own. when they passed more strict gun laws, gun deaths went down in connecticut. there is a direct core hraeurel. >> the facts are incontrovertible here. there is example after example. in the 1990

florida senator marco rubio was the only republican willing to face his critics. he says he now backs raising the minimum age for owning a rifle from 18 to 21. >> in this country, if you are 18 years of age, you should not be able to buy a rifle. i will support a law. traditionally i have not looked at looking at magazine clip size. after this and some details i learned, i'm reconsidering that position and i'll tell you why. i'll tell you why. because while it may not prevent an attack, but it may save lives in an attack. >> rubio defended his opposition to broader gun control and violence legislation. including an assault weapons ban. here is an exchange with fred guttenberg who lost his daughter jaime. >> if i believed that law would prevent this from happening, i would support it. i will explain to you why it's not. >> senator rubio, my daughter, running down the hallway at marjory stoneman douglas was shot in the back with assault weapon. the weapon of choice. it is too easy to get. it is a weapon of war. the fact that you cannot stand with everybody in the bu

and some of the politicians like marco rubio have been saying tonight we don't know that there's any law that could have made this less likely to happen. it seems the question to ask marco rubio and rick scott, is there anything florida could possibly do to make it any easier for a mass murderer to get an ar-15. >> yeah what they could do is ban assault weapons, which marco rubio voted against in 2013 when he was in the senate. when he had a chance to stop this guy from getting his hand osan assault weapon, he said no. we need to get to a place in america where we have fewer guns. this guy had a lot of guns, an assault weapon, that's why we are where we are today. the problem is the nra, which donates heavily to rick scott, to marco rubio, is keeping these politicians from any kind of real conversation. if we can move on this at all, we need to make sure they send back the blood money, they have blood on their hands, the nra has blood on their hands. if we care about our children, their lives, we have to have a serious conversation. >> isn't the question for marco rubio and rick scot

and when you're marco rubio and you're in a room like that, it might impact you. it might impact the president that he could have been persuaded. because that was definitely an emotional experience just to watch. i can't imagine what it was like being in that room. you bring up a great point. there are many different conversations to be had here. if you wonder why the needle hasn't moved, it's because the nra has one conversation. second amendment and we're not moving. and the other side has so many issues and those lines get blurred. we have to take this moment if they want to address those issues. they have to stop blurring the lines and address them. one at a time. if they're going to make a difference. i know so many americans want a difference to be made now. >> 100% agree with that. i think it would start with congressional hearings. i've been pushing for that, as have a number of people on left and right. let the congress sit down and take a lot of input on each of those different lanes so we can get to some resolution on some of them as opposed to -- the d

just talk to us about marco rubio there. he is talking about maybe being able to ban high—capacity magazines. there's anything that you would accept in terms of restrictions on gun sales? i would like to clear one thing up. everyone talks about the legislator being bought and paid for by the nra. as faras being bought and paid for by the nra. as far as i know, the nra has not given a single dollar to a candid running for florida in at least 16 years. those of us to be lead in the right to keep and bear arms, we believe it because we believe it, not because anybody is paying us too. but do they put the money in congress, where the big bullet scars that are taken?” money in congress, where the big bullet scars that are taken? i am just a small representative in florida. i think we are going to have a comprehensive package of

so awkward for marco rubio. he looked like a dad trying to explain to his son why he cheated on his mom. you know, cameron, sometimes a politician has needs and when the n.r.a. opens their wallet, it's so hard to resist! one day you will understand. ( laughter ) rubio tried his best to explain his positions but you can tell he was out of sync with what was going in the room. >> it's not the loopholes, it's the problem that once you start looking at how easy tots get around it you would literally have to ban every semi-automatic rifle that's sold. ( cheers and applause ) >> fair enough. fair enough. okay. okay. >> trevor: okay, i see i just made your point. okay. okay. that was such an epic fail. rubio said the solution like it was the problem. it reminded me of the reaction a lot of men had to the #metoo movement. people were, like, if we carry on like this we're going to live in a world where men can't even hit on their female staff, huh? oh, that is what we want? okay, fair enough. i misunderstood. i misunders

gloria, we heard from marco rubio. he's revising his longstanding position on guns in america, we've now heard from the president. we have not heard specifically from the speaker of the house or the republican majority leader in the senate. they're the ones who are going to have to take leadership if they're going to change the laws. >> right. and i think they're waiting to hear what the president has to say on this. i think they understand their constituencies here. they want to get their people reelected. paul ryan has a lot of conservatives in the house who are worried about getting primaried on the right on any vote on gun control, and by the way, the nra will be the group that finances their primary opponents. if they make a move here that the nra doesn't like. so they're all for trying to protect their flock here, and i think they'll have to wait to see what the president decides to do and then let him know what they can sell in their chambers. and i think it's a very, very touchy situation, particularly in the h

and they care about gun safety. >> let's talk about senator marco rubio. hats off to him for showing up. he's the person who took the most heated barbed questions coming at him. he's republican. he has seemed in the past dug in on some of these positions. in fact, right after the shooting he said pass whatever laws you want but nothing is going to change. he seemed to change. in fact, he admitted his own thinking had been changed by what happened here. and he gave on a few different things he said he would rethink the sale of high capacity mag reasons. magazines. moving the age to buy rifles from 18 to 21. emergency protection orders like we have seen in connecticut. what did you think? >> i think that's terrific. but on high-capacity magazines, for example, he is going to rethink them? do we -- this is terrible. this is a horrific tragedy. is there just now enough information to know someone doesn't need to be able to off 35 rounds in a magazine. of course i want to be a partner. i welcome that. but so much needs to get done. so much of it has overwhelmin

., marco rubio. now, the crowd wasn't exactly with marco rubio last night. and you know what they say: "if they're not with you, you're marco rubio." ( laughter ) here he is, trying to explain what he sees as the perils of banning semi-automatic weapons. >> on the issue you've raised about your background checks, related directly to what you said about the assault weapons ban, it's not the loopholes. it's the problem that once you start looking at how easy it is to get around it, you would literally have to ban every semi-automatic rifle that's sold in america. ( cheers and applause ) fair enough. >> stephen: that is a guy who can not read theçó room. ( laughter ) look, we'd have to get rid of guns and then it's a slippery slope to dead people. oh, you would like that? fair enough. guess it takes all kinds.

has come out -- and i say this as somebody who respects marco rubio. he's often a man of principle. he's had a lot of nonsense come out in the weeks since the shootings when it comes to gun laws and unfortunately the nonsense is often fairly directly tied to the type of support these politicians get from the gun lobby in the united states. >> i think that is totally true. and i think that part of why our members wanted to take action in this moment and why we were really excited about this kind of message is that when tragedy happens, there is this brief window where politicians maybe can follow their hearts and what their people are demanding and they could put aside all of those concerns about maybe the $3 million they're taking from the nra to help them get re-elected. >> and by the way, credit to marco rubio, he criticized the people calling these very articulate students from stoneman douglas school crisis actors and he said that is not the case. what kind of response have you had from the senator to these billboards? >> we've had amazing response

you would involve the staffers of marco rubio, whoever else. as he said in the text messages, no paper trail. stinks to high heaven. >> i sound like a broken record about partisanship. but the problem with partisanship, there's something in here that's worth talking about. christopher steele could be the greatest person alive. it's not about him. it's about the unverified, undocumented information from anonymous sources. that's the problem. that's what they are basing this on for it it doesn't matter who the steele is but it's the fact he used was not verified to hinder or investigate an american citizen. >> marco rubio in this is also very interesting. marco rubio, senator -- why are they covering for mark warner? what's going on? how deep is the deep state? doesn't run through the senate? >> i don't think rubio is part of a deep state. >> that's what's happening! >> i mean, if something doesn't fit into the equation or the partisan dogma, it doesn't make it deep state. what that does is -- >> maybe that's not deep state, but maybe he's angry
