you're a freshman at marjory stoneman douglas high school. you lost four of your friends in the shooting. this has not been easy. what is it like seeing all of this today? >> seeing this, it's just surreal. what happened was so tragic, but this is just beautiful, it's genuinely amazing that these many people who weren't directly affected by this are so passionate about it. >> show me something really quick because a lot of us have to wear credentials because there's a lot of people here. lauren, you guys have these special credentials. talk to me about this one dollar and five cents you're wearing. >> we being too the amount of money that marco rubio took from the nra and divided it by every single student in the state of florida so this is how much we're worth to the government. it's a price tag. >> that's a really raw way of putting it. the message there gets attention, but are we going to hear about that from on stage from you guys? >> i'm not sure yet. you'll just have to wait and see. >> i so appreciate you being here with us. they've go

for a lot of the students at marjorie stoneman douglas high school. when i was in high school the tv production teacher who you just talked about really did influence me and he helped me become the person that i am today and believed in me when i didn't really believe in myself. a lot of the teachers were like that. several of the teachers were so invested in the students and they really cared but we had a few teachers that weren't that interested but when we're talking human intelligence is the intellectual prowess of human there are high levels of motivation and self-awareness and intelligence and humans by the whole process the ability to learn and understand things and in this context of the characteristics of human intelligence are interpreted differently than what would be the standard definition and in terms of human intelligence it would probably be something along the lines of feeling an emotional connection to people. there was a lot of that at the school. it wasn't exactly like everyone had school spirit and go stoneman douglas but there wa

stoneman douglas but it was definitely kind of a ! subconscious level of connection that everybody had to each other. you would walk down the hallways and see the same people. you did not know their name, know their story, but you would smile at each other and nod because you saw each other everyday. that was your way of communicating with each other. unfortunately, some people felt it was not like that, but personally i did see a lot of that. greta: rachel, i understand you knew of nikolas cruz. what did you know of him at the time when you were in school? rachel: i met him when i was a sophomore in high school. he had a class with my best friend, who is in israel right now studying abroad. he spent time with us in the morning and would eat lunch with us occasionally. he did not say that much. he seemed like a lonely kid. i have a habit of going up to lonely people and inviting them to sit with me and my friends at lunch because that happened to me when i was a freshman in high school, so i felt like i should go in and do the same th

a 17-year-old senior from marjory stoneman douglas. ahead of tomorrow's march, the questions many are wondering is will this prompt a change in national gun laws. to talk more about this i'm joined by former nra lobbyist richard feldman, author of the book "ricochet" and said the nra is obsessed with wielding political power and scare mon r mongering but a big believer in second amendment rights. but not many students tell me they have an issue with the second amendment or they would like to see the second amendment go away or like to see people's guns taken away. they literally don't want to be fearful in school or in the case of the chicago kids in their community. i think this is a message that pro-second amendment gun owners can get behind. >> i agree. who wants to be fearful of the bad guys out there. whether they are crazy or intentionally criminals, nobody wants to face somebody with a gun that is after you. we're all in the same boat. but when someone like joe biden demonizes the nra, he's playing politics. the nra isn't the pr

the marjory stoneman douglas act certainly isn't perfect. the idea of getting more guns into schools to reduce gun violence seems to be a thought end m more tragedy. but it makes it a great step in the right direction. and it proves what i tell my students is true, their actions can change the world. i got into teaching bausz i wanted to inspire students but now they are inspiring me. the issues surrounding mass shootings in this country are complex and to pretend otherwise is naive and put the general public and particularly our children in dang remember. people have suggested its mental health and school issue, i agree with both of those statements, need more help with mentally ill but better quality of life for thousands of people who suffer from these mental illnesses. we do need to increase safety in our schools to protect children against those who would want to harm they. but to say that the issue of mass shootings isn't also a gun issue is absurd. i cannot imagine a scenario in which nikolas cruz could have come to my school armed wi
