know that indeed they mentioned a person by the name of cleta mitchell and this whole narrative, the nra, actually being involved in a russia collusion, they actually shared that with a doj official, and yet there is no prosecution that's being done there. it was false testimony, given to a doj person. we've got to make sure there is one standard for everybody, and i can tell you that rod rosenstein is not implementing that, and it's time that we hold him accountable. >> laura: congressman, real quick, why is it that the president decided to go back on his decision to declassify those documents and kick it over to the ig? i still don't understand that. i understand rosenstein was ther one who brought the message to him. the president acceded to his wishes. why? >> i think the president is trying to be cautious to make sure that sources and methods are not out there.re i can tell you, i talked to the ig today, the bruce ohr 302s there is no reason -- >> laura: those have to be released. >> two people that were there they don't have security clearances, bruce ohr wasn't officially on the r

with reaction, dan bongino, nra tv host, and chris hahn, radio host, former aide to senator chuck schumer. i want to go first to chris. chris, when avenatti comes on the scene, to me, it's a huge negative for the democrats. it becomes just another iteration of the trump resistance, it's all about him, he talked about running for president in 2020. the clown show continues. your reaction tonight? >> i don't take these accusations seriously until i actually see somebody stand up and say that this actually happened. now i will say this about avenatti. he was correct that the president was aware of the payouts to stormy daniels and the other model whose name i'm forgetting. that was proven right. he said that weeks before it was proven. but i don't just want to take accusations out of nowhere and say come on loud stop the presses. he's right, i think mark judge must testify before this committee, he's a witness, everyone -- >> laura: he's already signed a statement by the penalty of perjury that he has no recollection of these events happening. no one who she claims was in a house party that

and after every piece of legislation, the nra is filing lawsuits. for example in florida, they filed a lawsuit. , or some ofsuits them, will eventually make it to the supreme court. there is a reason why the nra is spending so much money right now to get him selected. because those lawsuits will eventually make their way in front of a justice kavanaugh should he be selected. and he has made it very clear things like the age of 21, which is what they're suing on in florida, or red flyball's, which they're suing elsewhere. he would not think of them as constitutional. that concerns me. those two things alone are already saving lives. amy: fred guttenberg, going back to that moment with judge kavanaugh, can you explain exactly what happened? >> well, yeah. as i was saying earlier, after -- i can't remember which of the senators i was shaking hands with at the time -- i was in that area and i saw he was getting up. i turned around. he was just a couple of feet behind me. i walked over and reached out my hand. and i said, very specifically "hi, i am fred

social media,tes and people use, you know, the nra, for example, the russian connection to the nra, and you will see the gun issue used to inflame feelings. it is an amazing to me to watch. i always try to be as vocal as i can in pointing it out to other people that i see on social media, just because it is sneaky, and it is very in a terrible way. you mentioned earlier resiliency and the american public. what can you do as an american voters make sure you are not falling under the influence of a foreign attack on american relations in social media? guest: when the things that is really important is to stop and think about -- what is the origin of the information that you are looking at online? do you know where it is coming from? do you know the motivations of that particular person? one of my favorite lines on the topic is from congressman will heard from texas, in public and from texas, who talked about needing to educate our kids and others about online stranger danger. we teach our kids not to get into the car with a stranger, not to take candy from a yet somehow online, we think i

colonel oliver north and the nra decided to put out a video of americans who decide to kneel during the national anthem. take a look. >> when you take a knee during the national anthem, you disrespect the men and women who lost their limbs so you could spend your sunday playing games. when you dishonor our flag, you turn your back on the family of heroes serving on the front lines, whose sacrifices make it possible for cameras to focus on your disgraceful protests. we teach children that police are the enemy, you've turned your back on the very law enforcement that keeps your stadium safe. we fight for the first amendment as much as the second, but while you use it disgracefully, we use it to tell the truth. >> sean: powerful ad. we'll have more on that later in the week. that is all the time we have left. we're always fair and balanced. we are not the destroy the trump media, never will be. news you won't get anywhere else. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham standing by at the nation's capitol. laura. >> laura: sean, does it feel like 1991 all over again? i was here during

and the nra is a prime example. when you read the indictment against maria bettina, you see that she was trying to infiltrate the inner right. she was involved with groups close to the republican party like the center for national interest. she was in other functions as well and she was only one person peered i can tell you my conservative friends when asked me to write articles, they complain about people like patrick the canon who is a great supportive christian values varied russia's not vertically russian country and what is more, the spectrum of how should i say -- repentant kgb operatives becoming fervent christians is more than amusing. furthermore, the orthodox church is a kgb front varied it has been for years peered if you look at this and if you look at the church attendance in russia, it is not very impressive. it's 3-4%. all of the stuff about russia being a christian religious country, it's not propaganda but the reality is different. however here, we have all these probes, mainly on the right. remembe

, the nra was behind it. >> it's amazing when we have the short out in colorado, the aurora shooter at the bat man movie. brian ross of abc news found a similar name. >> he's been fired. >> he was allowed to resign. >> he found a name on a tea party's website name. we don't know if it was him, the bombing up in the boston marathon bombing happened on patriots day. we don't know what the motivation was but it's patriots day, and it turns out it was terrorism. they jumped to the original inclusion, thank you god for groups like the media research center no one would hold them accountable. they move on, won't acknowledge it happened. when they do an internal investigation. when the george zimmerman call was edited by 911, they made it look like he was racist. dropped quotes in half, and spliced it back together. that's not by accident. that's not we accidentally hit the edit button that was deliberate. we don't know who did that. we were told they were disciplined somehow. we don't know if they're still on the job. it's a different set of standards. >> did you see this now emerging with s

the nra was fine. >> they blame the nra. >> when we had the shooter in colorado as the batman movie, brien ross of abc news found a similar name has >> has been fired. >> finally. he was allowed to resign. they pounded a name on a tea party group website. the bombing up in the boston marathon have been on patriots' day. there's your organization and all these people say we don't know what the motivation was that his patriots' day, tax day, so the right-wingers say government, so this is probably done and it turns out it wasn't. it was terrorism. they jumped to the original conclusion and may god, otherwise no one would hold them accountable because they quickly move on. an internal investigation but with the george zimmerman 9-1-1 call was edited by nbc news to make it sound like he was racist. they took it completely out of context, cropped quotes in half and placed it back together. that's not by accident. that is not we accidentally hit the edit button. i was very deliberate. we don't know who did that. we were told that they were disciplined somehow. we don't know who did it, sti

the nra filed a lawsuit. these lawsuits are going to end up in front of justice kavanaugh, and unfortunately based upon his prior statements and rulings, we can predict how he's going to rule. candidly, my hope to him was simply to say, i hope you change your stance. i hope you look in my eye. i hope you see that this pin that i wear on my lapel or these bracelets that i wear, that's all i have to get close to my daughter now, and i hope you can be part in making sure no other parent has to feel the way i do because we can fix this. and i have concern that he won't be that person, but he's a father and i tried -- i was hoping to appeal to that. >> so the encounter today, it did go viral. and the white house deputy press secretary ross shaw, he responded to it. >> yes. >> he tweeted this. he says, as judge kavanaugh left for his lunch break an unidentified individual approached him. before the judge was able to shake his hand security had intervened. do you think this could have just been a misunderstanding, t

you were also an early opponent of the nra. you as mayor of tallahasse took on maryanion hammer, what peopl call the permanent governor of florida, the leader of the nra and you took her on over an issue about guns in city parks. can you tack about how that issue, the issue of guns, has played a role in your political trajectory? >> well, first, joy, let me say that permanent status for marian hammer is coming to a close. i got sued, drug through court for two years because in my city we refused to repeal an ordnance which simply said you cannot shoot guns in a city park. a radical notion that you can't shoot guns in parks while kids play and families picnic. and that was enough in marion hammer's state and in marion hammer's florida for me to be personally sued, personally fined. the good news is, and you know this for having followed it, we beat them at the circuit court, the appellate court and we wanted to take it to the supreme court because it has to be clear the nra cannot run roughshod over the state of florida. that ou

everywhere we pass safety, the nra files a lawsuit. the nra is right now spending a lot of money to get him selected and what will eventually happen is one of these lawsuits, maybe it will be florida, will end up in front of him and he will have to judge it. i am concerned that something like raising the age to 21, which we've done in florida, red flag laws, which we've done in florida, eliminating bump stocks, which we've done in florida. before we get to all the more serious stuff, he would rule unconstitutional. i hope to speak to him as a father and look him in the eye and tell him, those few things would have saved my daughter. not the bump stocks, but raising the age to 21 and red flag laws. >> and, fred, was it -- was it clear to you that he could hear what you were saying to him? >> oh, listen, i have no doubt -- i know my voice. i'm certain he heard my words and i'm certain when he heard me say my daughter jamie was murdered in parkland, that's when he turned. >> fred, i've been in that hearing room many, many, many times and

if somebody shoot somebody will say the nra was behind it and a blend nra. >> guest: is amazing when that issue out in colorado at the batman movie, brian ross that abc news found a similar name, he was allowed resign, he found a a name on tea party groups website. we don't know if it's in that it probably is. the bombing up in the boston happened on patriots' day. your organization has documented all -- people so we don't know what the motivation was but it is patriots' day, tax day so you know, those right-wingers hate government so this is probably then. it turns out it wasn't. it was terrorism. they jumped to the original conclusion and then cut for groups like the media research center. otherwise, nobody would hold them accountable because the quickly move on. they don't acknowledge it will happen. when to do an internal investigation like when the george zimmerman 911 call was edited by nbc news to make it sound like he was racist, sync is a blackout document, they took it out of context, crop quote in half and spice back together. that's not by accident. that's that's not an a

next, i'd like to address the presidents promised to appoint a nominee blessed by the nra. in reviewing your judicial opinions and documents, it's pretty clear that your views go well beyond simply being pro-gun. pro-gun. and unlike to straighten that out. it's my understanding that during a lecture at notre dame law school you said you would be quote, the first to acknowledge that most other lower judges, supreme court justice have disagreed with your views on the second amendment. for example, in district of columbia versus heller you wrote that in less guns were regulated either at the time the constitution was written or traditionally throughout history, they cannot be regulated now. in your own words, come laws are unconstitutional, unless they are, quote, traditional or common in the united states. you concluded that banning assault weapons is unconstitutional because they have not historically been banned. and this logic means that even as weapons become more advanced and more dangerous they cannot be regulated. judge easterbrook as you know, conservative judge from

>> his basic idea of how to deal with the press came from the nra -- oh, wait, that's actually good. so, you know, he did what every president wants to do. he did not like the democratic paper that was in -- at work when he came to washington in 1829. so he founded a new one. "the washington globe" was his newspaper. imagine if ever president can start their own thing -- we may be getting there. jackson was ahead of his time. people would bring him editorials, he would edit them. it was how he communicated with the country. it's beyond our can now but as one of the great architects of democrat culture, that understanding that you had to be in more or less constant communication with a democratic populace foreshadowed the modern world. i think he would have used twitter. you use the means of your day. and it's no mistake that our greatest presidents, our most effective presidents, have been those who understood, sometimes intuitively, the means of communication. so jackson and lincoln understand the importance of words. jackson kept a painter, a guy named ralph earl, a painter lived i

what about, let's take those last two, veterans groups and the nra. give us those examples. and did those seem to be attempts by russian intelligence agencies to infiltrate the campaign? >> well, you know, i think it's very difficult to say what exactly was going on in those cases and in some other cases. in the case of the social media attack, these fake american accounts that were created, and in the case of the hacking and leaking of e-mails, we have robert mueller, the special counsel's very detailed indictments, laying out exactly, you know, by name, which russians did what things. we don't have the equivalent in the case of what appears to be a human intelligence operation. so, you kind of have to guess. you talk to intelligence sources. some folks, some of these people do have sort of documented russian intelligence connections. others just seem to be well-connected russians. and you know, the way russia works, they're often businessmen with very close ties to the kremlin who can operate on behalf of the kremlin at times, but we don't have certainty in any of these ca

there was an nra instructor there. these guys were awesome with the kids. they spent hours with them, and the kids had never been that close to a gun. they were really so impressed with how people put safety into it, why people had guns. and they had spent the day just three days earlier with someone. these people were willing to open up their minds and do something different. erick: we can all see you send that. thank you for coming. we will write it, and it will be great. thank you so much.

number panies step forward on the gun-control debate, united and delta cutting their discounts for nra members, for example, walmart and dick's sportg goods changing their gun-sales policies. how do you feel about companies taking stands on controversial issues? -yeah, i think it's important for companies to have a point of view, and to share that point of view. and as i said, it can be a little bit of a tricky linet when it startoe the line into politics, and the sausage-making of politics.n' but i think it's appropriate anymore i think that trust ietal institutions, s trust in business is really at an all-time low, and we need to rebuild that by saying, "hey, this is what we stand for. this is what we think is right and wrong."ve and hat. -okay. adam lowry, co-founder and ceo of ripple foods. thanks for being here. -yeah. thanks for having me. -and that will do it for us. r more of our coverage, go to kqed.org/newsroom. i'm thuy vu. thank you for joining us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ cang sponsored by wnet >> sreeniv for sunday, september 2nd: tonator john mccain is lai rest at the u.s. naval

lobbies that are clearly affiliated with the republican party, nra, primary example. when you read the indictment against maria butina, you're going see the trial reports and other reports, sh seeing she was trying to infill ratrate the nr. and she was at other functions as well and she's only one person. i tell you when my conservative friends when they ask me to write articles they complain about people like patrick buchanan thinking he's a great supporter of christian values. he isn't. believe me. russia is not a particularly christian country. what's more, the spectacle of how should i say it, repentant kgb operatives becoming fervent christians is more than amusing. furthermore, the orthodox church is, itself, a kgp front. it has been for years. as anybody who studies this knows. . moreover, if you look at the figures of church attendance in russia, they're not very impressive. i think thit was 3% to 4% was t last one. all this stuff about russia being a christian religious country, it's nice propaganda but the reality is rather different. however, here, we've se

>> there were a lot of ads for and against me. >> i am asking specifically about the nra ad. the obviously being you're on their page. >> senator, a lot of add my groups against and for that is the right of people to express their views. i understand not. i'm an independent judge and i for 12de years have a record of being an independent judge. >> well, obviously the nra doesn't think you're so independent when it comes to gun legislation because they are spending a lot of money to tell everybody you're going to provide the crucial vote to their liking. so, these had been for themselves why they think you are the critical person to be on the court. i want to follow up y on marketing something you told senator finds in regarding your views on for. your view is a supreme court precedent could not be banned, and i'll quote you what you said yesterday. the firearm is widely owned in the united states. so did you mean to say widely owned as opposed to widely used in your response to senator finds time? >> i think i referred to the dangerous and unusual test the supreme court has a

said all the right things and then harvey weinstein, he said i'm going to spend my time taking on the nra and that's not the right answer to the question but people who disagree with you and the goodpeople. you are not right all the time and they might know something you don't and that would make me a lot happier . >>strong work. why do men with beards always sound so smart . dana? >> i believe this have to do with all the new media outlets. if trump was the presidentin 84, 88, we would look at him as the president and tune in for one year . >> a little good morning america, like 84? the today show? >> writes. >> maybe you would get the paper, men maybe when you go to work you might turn on the radio for 20 minutes and then you would work all day. and then when you got home, you might want half an hour of the news. and then you would turn to your sports for your sitcoms or your other things thatyou watch, things like that . and then you go to bed.but now, i check in the morning because i want to know if it's polar vortex trump or hurricane trump because that's going to determine your day,

we have been held captive by the nra. the post-sandy hook i was very very pessimistic on this issue. i do know how we would write through and then we have the parkland massacre in parkland florida and those young people have been nothing short of extraordinary. my family and i came to the march and people i'm working with now from the south and west sides and others working and i'm actually now more hopeful than i have ever been. honestly i think we have failed to keep our kids safe. we have raised a generation of teens on gun violence i apologize every time i talk to kids i apologize we haven't done a good job and we have done a terrible job. the young people are going to win. i do think of it in terms of a movement to go to the source movement. those were led by people that look like me. those are led by teens who are willing to put their bodies on the line and be killed, should flood. congressman john lewis changed our country. and people are saying this isn't okay. it's not normal. we are going to push back. i'm more
