10:32 pm

10:35 pm
a distress given encouragement. but as my father's last name, his name was derrick fudge in my organization was created. august 4th 2019. when me my father, my sister. no husband was hanging out in a pop of the district here in dayton, ohio, just enjoying a good night and i'm, a shooter decided to walk down the side of the sidewalk and killed my father right beside me. his sister in front of me and 7 other people just hours after the el paso shooting. so every since that night i have found the purpose because i still don't understand how do not die that night. and it's hard. so, you know, i honor ana with action. i keep all their names alive, but also fifer families all over the country, because i know each day is different. some days are up and some days we're down the, on. what's remarkable about the, what you do is that you don't just do it from where you are. now. you travel around
10:36 pm
the united states. just looking at here, dayton strong lady strong fudge foundation. tell us what you're doing here. you know, i was in buffalo then weeks after that this happened, you bought a and it was her to my heart, you know, because in texas i know that these babies posted be enjoying the summer be the it's wonderful. but now the parents don't know what's next, you know, with them having a summer planned out and not knowing what's next in the future. so you know, i just want to get there and i still don't understand that when i always speak to the community in to families, i don't understand why god takes a broken heart like mine to help you other broken hearts. but i just quit asking and just started, you know, share what i meant to because we all laid on each other. you know, this is a network that we did not has to be a part of. it just happened. so we have to lean on each other when we're down and
10:37 pm
now, and, you know, and these moments when it happens, especially rating, you know, that whole month of may, i was in day one all over again because it was retiring to me understanding and understanding and you know, has been a home my father beside me and watch him die. is the vision that i never get out of my head ever. and i just never understood why he was a d r lee. she was there with your father and on last moment at 1st in the beginning my journey, i did not understand that. but as i started to move forward, my father. ready what a parent would say to adopt a child. so my father got to leave this earth, know that his son was still alive. so, you know, it's only right that i step in whatever path for purpose that is made for me to be able to help and inspire and offer hope to those in this country. we're a day we'll be seeing that tomorrow doesn't matter. the on thank you. so much for being part of the show, a copy easy. we are asking dion can america, and it's mass shooting epidemic. it is
10:38 pm
a huge question. we're not going to ask you to do that by yourself. like and to bringing chris brown. chris is part of a, an organization called brady, which is one of the oldest anti gun violence organizations in the united states have been campaigning for decade after decade and also slow ascent than tandem. who is a health and digital journalist at p. b. s news, ella, ladies, thank you so much for being part of this program or so you audience a part of the show as well. you know the drill on youtube right here, your comments, your questions. and you can have this conversation kind of america and it's mass sheeting epidemic. i can tell you from personal experience that the level of grief a mashing brings to the community can tear apart families. and make survivors and the family members of those we lost and people just in the periphery experienced
10:39 pm
additional anxiety, depression, and substance abuse and other other problems. i'm hoping that as lawmakers look at this issue, they will try to address that pain holistically sir chris. rachel survived, a mass sheeting in maryland that was back in 2018. are you feeling that there's something different now? the politicians are doing something different now that they weren't doing in 2018. when rachel survived the machining in 2019, when dione survived a mass shooting, is that something different? right now? there is something different right now and i have to say, especially to dion, it's so painful to hear from him and any survivor, a pains me because let's just be clear. we have americans across this country who are not experiencing at violence or victim hood that
10:40 pm
exists. one day out of the year. dad lost his father that happens for the rest of his life every day. and that is what we are conscripting way too many americans to across the country. would i like a better framework for change than what we have? yes, i would so many things that i would like to be in here and i felt weapons banned for one. but we have 10 republican senators who are signing off on this framework. and i lead brady brady accomplished the impossible nearly 30 years ago today. and that is the framework for a background check system that every day stops the sale over $600.00 firearms to individuals who are prohibited purchasers.
10:41 pm
whatever i can do as a leader of brady to strengthen that system. if it takes a step or a leap, i will endorse that, and this is a step. it's not a leap. but for our movement, i will say it is a leap, and i will take credit for a leap. if we get 10 republican signing off on this, it's a leap and it may not be that dion father does not die in a horrific. now shooting, but maybe it is. and let's look at that and understand it, but other people will be alive if this package path is they will never, never give us credit for it. but that's the way the world works and i'll stand for them. and for an america that is safer, safer to morrow than it is to day that's worth fighting for. no, let's have a little look at that packet. i was astounded when i realized that there were as
10:42 pm
many as 10 republicans who also involved in his bypass some bill. so this was, i felt was in direct connection to, to mass shootings that came one after another many every day unfortunately. but these 2 big ones that made international headlines, we put together some of the thoughts that senator was sharing who, a by pots and senators just a day ago. and this is what they were saying in public. i do see this as a breakthrough. the bill in and of itself is going to save thousands of lives. i have no doubt about this bill. even if we never pass another anti gun violence bill is going to make an enormous difference. i think if this framework becomes the actual piece of legislation, it's a step forward. step forward on a bipartisan basis. for myself, i'm comfortable with the foreign mark. and if the legislation ends up reflecting
10:43 pm
what the framework indicate, i'll be supportive though you think reporting on gum violence for some time. you've been ponying the public as well. what's the difference between the way that politicians speak and the way the public feels about compliance? it's a great question and one that you know, we have been really digging into in recent years, a growing majority of americans have told us they want to see more done on gun control. and for the 1st time in a long time, it looks like congress may be ready to take action. but it's, you know, right now it's too soon to know for sure. what we do know is that people have gotten increasingly tie, aired of gun violence in this country over the course of the last decade. you know, looking at our latest poll from the pdf who's our in pure and marriage, 59 percent of us adults said it was more important to them to control gun violence than to protect gun rights. and that's up 10 percentage points from, you know,
10:44 pm
march, 2013 in the months, shortly after the massacre. it's sandy hook elementary. you know, at the same time we've seen a decline among people who instead say protecting done right, is more important currently to them than, than controlling and violence. that's about a 3rd of americans said they feel that way. but at the same time, you know, with got this bipartisan framework emerging on capital hill. and here to be clear, it's not a bill, it's been outline. but you know, it signals that congress may be ready to do something, you know, for the 1st time in decades, in having meaningful and reform pleasant. you know, you know, i still have to hold them accountable because, you know, every time something like this, happiness is do something, do something. until it happens again. i don't stop barking by mission, never die down to, there's a change. you know, if we, if the, if this quieter for the next 23 months, we won't hear too much about it. but then if it happens is back on the forefront of
10:45 pm
that, where for survivors in and chris, i don't, i don't die with us. we stay, continue trying to change it and change it. so you know, i thank you for doing what they do, but i still have to see actions and to be able to move for, you know, that's one small step. but we still got a lot of work to do and you know, i'm so thankful for chris because you know, on what action i can do not the so i found a lawsuit against ammunition company. so, you know, just one step at a time just trying to you want to explain that a little bit because how, how did you do that? and how are they taking that, how, how it an ammunition company won't civil for gum violence. you know, that's the old gun lobby or organization that the gun lobby saying is that guns don't commit crimes. people commit crimes. well, i don't know if i want to go to in depth or if i can, because i don't know if my lawyers want me to speak. i. i understand. yeah, yeah. so it's a hard question for,
10:46 pm
for victims. like dion to answer what i will say as 1st of all, it takes a lot of courage for people like dion and let's just internalize this. he lost his father. he's a grieving victim, and i stood next to him in front of the supreme court, which is now arguing and soon to potentially release a decision if not next week than the week after that could overturn the permitting systems for who gets to carry a gun in public across the country, dion stood with me in front of the c supreme court. he was getting ready to speak. and we were turning around and we had someone who had a weapon with him right in front of us within the n r a flag. and this is the kind of thing that people like the on in american life today are subject to and i think all of us in america. oh people i d on
10:47 pm
a huge debt of gratitude. he is grieving, he lost his father. this is horrible and still he is standing up and to answer your broader question about what this means. look, we have not been able to move forward with gun violence prevention legislation in small, medium, or big steps out of the united states senate in congress for nearly 30 years. just the idea that we could get something through is really important. we will not accept piecemeal change for our movement for people like be on. it needs to be a major step. i hope we will get that. the framework is very exciting for us, but the devil is in the details. you know, just, i'm just touching back to the buffalo and when i was there and just hearing how he
10:48 pm
came in there it remind me of my suit or just watching you know, a lot of people tend to only hear what they want to hear. they're always stay. dina was you there? yes, i was there not only a survivor, but i was a victim as well. and it just to see in how they're coming through with the body armor. susan. he walked in there and i just remember him just coming down to the, to the street and not running enough and, and just started shooting back and forth. and i mean, it was a barrage of bullets so quickly in 30 seconds, a sound like before for july, but all i was focused on was my dad to get up to get up there, get up. this will not be a i didn't notice it won't be the last time i was going to be able to hug my dad told him a let him know that i loved him. and i just don't want to buy to experience that type of feeling. the pain is real and as i speak to, when i'm in the senator is probably down by chris, and they don't experience this in their community. they don't, they don't experience again by this. i lose a friend here and there that,
10:49 pm
that's pain. i talk, i work with families all over and they don't know what the next life so all i can do is just help them, just guide them and just be the sport and just let them know that you are not alone and much as our pay much much as it hurt us, our pain is what changes the law, what changes the country, people have to see this. they have to see that we're heard, whether it's one we, 2 weeks, 5 years, 10 years, it hurts. it never gets easy. it just, we get bearable when we keep sandy's saying cause a thing happening happening. we're going to right back in the day one of our, of our, of our event. so now we're down. so now that's when survivors in a network that we didn't have to be in will call around, i will call and check what all my student survivors and we all lift each other up. how you doing this? this is a network, but this is rough. let me just ask you laura about testimony that gun survivors gave last week on june the 8th, as
10:50 pm
a little girl called mia. and we have seen this happen multiple times before. we've seen moms and brothers and sisters and arts and nieces or talk about their loved ones. this little girl had to hide in blunt. this is what she told the hearing last week. door between our high school. and he, with shiny cheering, told one teacher going in charlotte, head and then he so the white board molar went to the bass. he shot my nose. i thought you didn't come down to the room for go learn the only the bible will survival. my,
10:51 pm
that's what the on says i when, how can you imagine been that little that little might and covering herself in blood so you don't get murdered or on youtube and we've got some cynicism on you chip here because they know america. it says the gun lobby always puts money over human life. american culture supports this. no, i'm not asking you to agree. i'm just asking you for your instant feedback to what the audience is thinking right now. go ahead. i mean, i know it's, it's what we know right now is that, i mean, you know, the country is tired of hurting. i mean, we stayed in poll after poll the, the fact that we have trends about asking people how they feel after these, these terrible tragedies that by all accounts, everyone agrees more should be done. and it's really looking at what's actually going to come together the time and, and you know,
10:52 pm
the degree to which to be sure. i sorry, i let me just say ok. so it's horrific enough to think about a child in a classroom having to play dead. and cover themselves in blood of a classmate. but let me tell you what makes me want to cry as it's not unique. so one of my good friends was the teacher of holocaust studies at marjorie stoneman. douglas high school. she, i lost 2 students in her classroom and another child in that classroom. i know because she is an activist with brady ah, covered herself with blood in that classroom to pretend that she was dead. and
10:53 pm
that is america, and that is so maddening. i'm so angry about it. if, if the, the, the story of that 10 year old were unique, it would be horrible enough because she will live with that. just like a layer is eastman, that child from parkland lives with that every day. but the idea that we have not fix this now, and that we have an opportunity to, there's nothing here that i think should be controversial. that upsets me as a mom. it upsets me as an american. it's ups at sap c for dion and for our country, and i hope we can fix it. so get on your think on unusual estate, excuse me, guess i'm going to bring in the conversation because this is also the conversation that is happening in america right now. the only thing needed is removing no guns zones and allow good people with guns to protect themselves and of this. i know guess you all have heard of this good people with guns will stop by people with
10:54 pm
guns. earlier we spoke to diana who was gone, ona, she had guns in her family, and yet she still suffered well on the let diana tell her story, this what she told us, ellia i come from a gun owning family and it still happened to us. no one is immune to gun violence and the idea that owning a gun will always keep you and your family safe really isn't realistic. you know, we have a huge flood of guns getting into the wrong hands every day because there aren't enough laws. are consistent laws across the country to help curtail that mismanagement of public safety. and i know some people think that thorough background checks takes away their freedom when they find themselves in the same boat. my family was in with no options. police couldn't do anything. that's where you lose your freedom. so you know extended background checks will really help because the point of sale is so important to keeping guns out of the wrong hands.
10:55 pm
background checks, things really straightforward and easy. laura thought, scott, apple, it's something that most americans say they approve they, they want, they want to vote for a candidate for congress who is in support of these, of these measures. you know, 8 out of 10 americans are voters, excuse me. you know, in our last poll said that they support background checks for gun purchases. another, you know, another 86 percent so that they support met funding for mental health screenings and treatment. and in 3 quarters, nearly 3 quarters that they support national red flag laws, chino temporary to burly, remove access to guns from people who you know, who appear to pose a danger to themselves or others. you know, these are, these are attitudes that we heard and you know, 2019 after dating after el paso, these are, these are a long standing, you know, opinions that the public has. and it's a matter of, you know, is congress on the same page?
10:56 pm
you know, so these are the diana is not a little support for them. so i'm so tired of hearing good guys with the guns. you know what? all the laws are, stand your ground permit this carrier to army teachers. they always bring that up when i'm speaking in the state house with the well somebody had a gun and they could say your life that night. ok, so now this person save my life, but then when the responding officers come there, they don't know who this person is. then i start to shoot in my, if it were just making a law that were just we taking everything into our own actions. we're judge and execution, and that's the part i don't understand. so if we're doing that, why do we even have police officers? if we're, if we're about to start police in ourself, i don't understand that in this world, like it's just very, very daunting. that they always say the good died with the gun, but it used to be the ones that don't have no record that does the math shooting. i mean just looking at it or. oh, it does. i mean, just wanted to add that, you know, 38 percent of americans say they want to allow school teachers to carry guns where,
10:57 pm
you know, 51 percent majority of the people we heard from in our last poll. so they definitely do not want a member of congress or candidate for congress to push for that kind of legislation . the public does not appear to support that at this time. chris. yeah. sorry, i would just say also the idea of the miss and the lie that was invented by wayne lapierre because it didn't exist before sandy hook a decade ago. nearly that a good guy with a gun is all that it takes to stop. a bad guy with a gun, i think was set to rest in you've all day. we had 19 long foresman officers all with guns and we had a single perpetrator. none of him could take out the bad guy with a gun. the reality is that lie existed the moment it was uttered. and it was
10:58 pm
uttered by the way, with wayne law pierre on a yacht in the mediterranean, where he fled, because he was afraid that he would be shot by the rest of america. that's just true. and we've been living with the consequences of that lie. we all know if that missed were true, and if it just means more guns, stop, gun violence. we have more guns than people in america. we would be the safest country on earth. and dion father would still be alive. it's just false and we are dying of it this and so i'm done with that myth and i hope all of america is we're done with that in this framework that we're looking around is want saddler's right heart action deal green. thank you so much for showing your thoughts about is this time for america to end it's mass shooting? ebbed epidemic cannot be possible. thank you so much for your thoughts and,
10:59 pm
and just comments here on the line that we had with david sweeney. my heart goes out to you all from scotland. we had one mass shooting many years ago. the laws got changed and has never been one since change is needed to protect these kids. and so what i see next time, ah, we tell the untold stories. ah, we speak when others done. ah, we cover all sides no matter where it takes us. a fin guy for my eye and power in pasha. we tell your stories, we are your voice, your news, your net. ouch is era. we understand the differences and
11:00 pm
similarities of culture across the world. so no matter why you call home al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that my tv al jazeera la monica. it's great to see. welcome to the cottage economic forum powered by bloomberg. some people say that they said the globalization going on, but that referred to thing called every globalization. our accomplish speakers from heads of state to business and policy leaders will discuss evolving technology, education, culture, sustainability, and the impact on the economy. ah, ah.
