5:01 am
house. you see there on those red markers everywhere people will be marching today. >> so starting here at noon, thousands, hundreds of thousands, will be in washington to protest against gun violence. this is the march for our lives rally. it is all happening just months -- rather weeks after that deadly shooting in parkl d parkland, florida and now survivors are leading the call for stricter gun control. their concerns echoed around the world. >> adults are telling us to use common sense when driving, with alcohol and drugs. and i really do not see the common sense in gun laws. >> gun violence impacts our lives and that we're no longer going to wait for adults to take action on it. some of us can't vote yet, but we'll still hold our officials accountable. >> we're fighting for our lives as much as anyone else. there has to be something done about this. every day i get up and i go to school wondering if i'm going to have a school shooting at my school any day.
5:02 am
>> we have a team of correspondents with students as they prepare to rally against gun violence. we'll start with polo sandoval, he is traveling with students and parents from pittsburgh to washington. polo, they have been -- they started i guess at 3:00 a.m. this morning getting closer to the capital now. >> reporter: yeah, bright and early too. they have been on the road for the last several hours. they are d.c.-bound aboard one of four buses that left pittsburgh early this morning headed to washington, d.c. these are 250 young men and women and adult leaders of the community who not only are passionate about the issue of gun violence, but have also experienced it first hand including glenn grayson jr. who i'm joined by. gun violence has hit close to home for you with the loss of your brother. tell me about that. >> yes, my brother was a freshman at hampton university. he came home for the first time
5:03 am
like most students do, you know, do their laundry, say hello to their parents. he went to a party at cal u university during their homecoming time and a guy shot through the party, he killed my brother. he didn't know him, never met him. but he's not here today so i'm here as a lead organizer and his brother to make sure his memory is not in vain. >> reporter: clearly you feel more needs to be done. do you think we're seeing some progress particularly after parkland? >> yes, i mean the other day somebody asked is this the actual change. and i said that, you know, rosa parks wasn't the only person to sit down when she took a stand, it was people like on this bus. so there are people before us and after us, but i think we're at a movement where people are tired and enough is enough and we have to make that change and i'm brought to stand with youth
5:04 am
and with people around the united states. you have to change some of the laws and really have some comprehensive gun reform. >> reporter: thank you so much. and sorry to hear about your brother. >> thank you. >> reporter: and this is just one of about 250 voices that are d.c.-bound. they are passionate, anxious and ready to join in the chorus of voices that we expect at the national mall today. >> polo sandoval, thank you so much. safe travels to all of you there. and dianne gallagher is with parkland students as they start to trickle into the rally here in d.c. good to see you. what are the conversations that they are having this morning? >> reporter: so right now a lot of them still again not on much sleep. they had a concert last night, there was a vigil last night at the national cathedral. this here is a breakfast that the alumni from marjory stoneman douglas came here, they put this on so the students, parents,
5:05 am
teachers, those from the parkland community cannot have to worry about those things before this march. you can kind of see we've been talking to people throughout the time here. this is bailey, i'll steal a seat here for a second. bailey and her father. talk to me about this. we met you on the bus to tallahassee when you guys went to create some change there. you did that. do you think that you will get a similar result from marching in washington? >> definitely. i mean, our voices are being heard all over the world. and they will be heard here which is where we need it the most so that there is significant change in our country. because people who go to school so should not have to lose their lives, we should not have to be scared to go to school every day. and fear for h. four lives. >> reporter: are you surprised by the entire country kind of coming together with you guys? >> yes, i think that the outcome was very unexpected. we didn't expect this many
5:06 am
people to be supporting us and our cause. but, you know, there is going to be millions of people all over the world marching for us and supporting this cause. >> reporter: and you have a son and daughter at the school. >> a lot of friends. i lost someone i consider their friends who were my friends. and it has just been a whirlwind for six weeks. and we're excited to be here and make noise. we met a lot of people around the city yesterday that are just invigorated and i think the whole country is just excited about the future. >> reporter: thank you so much. and again, we'll be with these kids throughout the day marching with them from this breakfast down to their area where they will show their own force and be with, you know, potentially hundreds, thousands of other kids and their parents and their families. >> dianne gallagher there in washington, thank you so much. let's now go to parkland, florida where kaylee hartung is.
5:07 am
and the park there where the march for our lives will begin in just a couple of hours, what are you expecting, what are you told is going to happen there? >> reporter: well, victor, as one volunteer who traveled here from kansas city told me, this is the heartbeat of the movement that we're seeing sweep the country today and that is why before the sun came up i was meeting volunteers who came here from across the country who were having marches this their own cities, but as they told me wanted to be here at the epicenter of this movement. and you can see behind me the scope of what is being planned here, the logistics for the student organized event are impressive. and they doen anticipate this k to be filled. this is once the site of the memorial to the 17 victims and it is now the start and end point for this march that will visit stoneman douglas high school in its two mile course. this program expected to start around 10:00 a.m. with a host of
5:08 am
speakers. of course we will hear from stoneman douglas students like adam buchwald who is asking parents to sign a contract that they will not support any pro gun politicians. star rry cause of man in chargef the registration drive not just for students who will come of age by midterm elections, but for any member of the community who is not yet registered to vote. we'll also hear from sam mayer, he was injured on february 14, but he lives to tell his story. and we'll also hear from two parents, the parents of gina montalto and alex schachter, who victims who lost anywhetheir li february 14. and we expect the program to conclude in a powerful moment when we're told 17 stoneman douglas students will take the stage here, each of them will step forward, say the naum me o friend, a person who lost their life that day and say that is
5:09 am
why they march today. >> that is going to be a profound moment. kaylee hartung, thank you so much. has to be really moving for all the people in parkland there as they march there and obviously cheering on the people from parkland who have come here to washington, d.c. where rene marsh is. she is live from where the march will begin soon. what are you seeing this morning and good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. i can tell you that we're seeing a pretty heavy police presence here. and we still have another four hours to go before it gets under way. and you can see that the signs and the protesters are already starting to get in place here. i can tell you that washington, d.c. police, they say that they are preparing for some 500,000 people. again, the march starts in about another four hours from now. we're expecting speakers to take to that stage. and we're also expecting celebrity performances, audraey
5:10 am
hudson, all taking the stage with the same message which is that they are pushing for the stricter gun laws. organizers are very clear to say that the march that is happening here today is only the beginning. this is not by any means the punctuation at the end of the sentence. this is just the beginning of their movement. you remember yesterday the trump administration announced that they were proposing a rule to ban bump stocks which is essentially that gun accessory that allows for an individual to use a gun in an automatic manner. but the people coming out here today say that by no means is enough. they want to see the purchasing age raised, they also want to see a ban on assault type weapons. so we do know that lawmakers, some will be here, many have left for the easter holiday, but that will not discourage the young people who are out here today. back to you. >> rene marsh there in

washington, thank you so much. we had a student rallier on earlier who said that every generation has an event that changes life as they know it. vietnam, september 11th, and she said for these students, it is the state of school shootings including of course the one in parkland, florida. and our interview with another student organizer is coming up.

5:16 am
going to listen to our voice, they will listen to our vote. and at the end of the day, she said it matters to them so much because they watched in horror on february 14th what happened in parkland. and as they felt for those students, dhee nthey could not internalize that they could be them as well. so that is prompting so many people to come out nep don't wa. they want to support all the parkland students who have traveled to be here in d.c. >> and of course we're talking about what is happening here. this is expected to be the largest of these rallies, but there are more than 800 planned around the world. here is the global map. all under the banner of march for our lives. of course this is a movement that started after the shooting on the 14th of february at parkland high school. global support this morning you're seeing dozens of people joined one of the florida shooting survivors for a demonstration as well. here is video of that.
5:17 am
>> also want to show you what was going on in australia. teenagers holding signs of support. and other rallies are planning in canada, south america, even in china. and just a bit ago we spoke to that student organizer about how she plans to keep this momentum going. >> for high school students specifically, it is terrifying. it is incredibly hitting close to home because we see these students in florida and we see our classmates. we see our friends. we see ourselves. and we are acutely terrified. and so we have to stand up. >> so i understand that you wanted to start the dmv chapter of students demand action, you started with just a few students and then what happened? >> we had ten people in my living room and then a week later we had 30 and we couldn't fit in my living room. and a week later, 150 and we were doing conference calls because we couldn't meet in
5:18 am
person. it blew up incredibly quickly. >> so what kind of conversations do you have when you get together? >> it's funny, because it will vary from what are you doing in your schools, what have you organized, what is our next initiative, to how are we going to get our classmates registered to vote, so-to-whto what are we for baracprom. and we are kids and we decided to organize around this issue. >> and so you talked about voter registration as an important element of this movement. every cycle people ask when are you think why people going to move the needle for a candidate, for an election. and this is a midterm, so less than expected for presidential election. why will this be different? >> well, young people are 30% of the american electorate and we're only getting bigger. we're now the biggest generation bloc that is alive today. so we have the power to change
5:19 am
kr outcomes. the question is will we turn out. and i think this is the turning point. every generation needs a reason to show up at the polls. for our generation, we're called the mass shooting generation. parkland will be that reason. >> again a live picture here of the folks gathering in washington. many of them are from parkland and their counterparts are also gathering. we'll take you to parkland, florida, talk to someone who is there. and still trying to reconcile what happened. and what they are doing today specifically to make sure it didn't happen again. stay close. my gums are irritated. i don't have to worry about that, do i? actually, you do. harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line, and if you're not taking care of your gums, you're not taking care of your mouth. so now i use this. crest gum detoxify. introducing new crest gum detoxify... it works below the gum line and is clinically proven to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage.

24 past the hour. wa want to give you a couple live pictures out of washington. the people that are gathering here for march for our lives making sure that even if congress is not in session, even if the president is not in the white house, you cannot turn away from what is handling. >> hundred of thousands of people expected here in washington and hundreds of rallies around the world. young speakers, the students will be leading this rally, this march, as they have led this movement in the five to six weeks since 17 people were killed at stoneman douglas high
5:25 am
school in parkland, 234florida. and this morning people already starting to gather. organizers estimate up to a half million, maybe more, will rally in washington today. >> and cnn's caylee tar hung ka joining from us parkland where many say this is what finally tipped them off, the killing of 17 people there on february 14. we can hear the music behind you. the event is scheduled to start in a few hours. but they are really putting an action behind their protest, aren't they. >> reporter: and people are continuing to flow in. the program set to start in about an hour and a half. but it is hard to take a few steps in pine trails park without seeing a sign like this one, ask me about voting. six organizations on site today to help people here register to vote. and you are spearheading the
5:26 am
effort. what is the goal for you today? >> the goal is to get as many people registered or pre-ren pre-registered to vote. we want change and the best way do this is to vote. >> reporter: tell me about the conversations you're having with your classmates. you are 15. you can't vote tomorrow, but you can vote in 2020. what conversations are you having about the responsibility you feel? >> so the conversations we're having is we're so passionate about this and we they ever wha never never want to happen gwenn. again. people say where can i go, i don't want this to happen again. and i tell them. >> reporter: what impact do you think first time voters like some of your peers can have on an election? >> i think a lot of times 18 to 25-year-olds don't vote. but if we can change that and have the 18 to 25-year-olds
5:27 am
vote, question change elections. >> reporter: and you will be speaking on this stage in a little bit. what will your message be to the proud? >> my message is to get 17 other people to vote. vote for the people who can't. and so we don't have to lose another 17 ever again. >> reporter: what do you think we can expect in terms of turnout here for this march that will visit your high school and return here to this park? >> are so i just spoke to someone and they said around 35,000 people that will march with us and should hear the rally. so a huge impact. >> reporter: you've been a part of organizing today. how does that make you feel when you recognize the possibility that that many people could turn out to support you, your school and this community? >> i'm speechless. but we'll continue this movement and i think by voting and sending out reminders to vote after this march again, we'll be speechless at midterm elections again. >> reporter: today is not the
5:28 am
end, the beginning for you all. intere . >> exactly. >> one of the young people speaking there. kaylee hartung, thank you. >> so let's talk with our panel. we have a security analyst, and also from the weekly standard, and also our political commentator and also national executive director of the college republican national committee. thank you everybody for being here. so you can see there they are putting action behind this saying listen, right now you will hear our voice. give us a little bit of time and you will hear our vote. any indication that congress is actually listening and paying attention to what is coming down the pipeline here? >> i think for republicans we should be very concerned. i mean, you think about the demographics that are impacted by this, that demographic doesn't typically vote for republicans. and if there is a reason, if there is enough encouragement for them to mobilize and actualize their pain, their frustration, that is not a very good thing for republicans at
5:29 am
all. so i think republicans should take heed of their critiques and perhaps attempt to do something to move the needle forward on this. >> and historically gun rights advocates have been single issue voters. it is the gun control advocates who have not been single issue voters. and if this generation looks first at your position on back ground checks and minimums to purchase, that could certainly change a lot of these seats. >> you're right. and i think republicans should already be nervous looking at all of the elections, special elections since donald trump became president. it hasn't been good for republicans at all. but to me, there has been a lot of extremism on this issue and why can't people have some reasonable positions, right, more back ground checks, maybe not every single gun needs to be available to every single person. but i do think that what people are worried about and the single issue voters have been worried
5:30 am
about, is in the first step to getting rid of guns entirely. and i think that some of them are a little bit of a conspiracy theorist, but a fair point. i think a lot of gun control advocates, they do eventually want to get rid and make all guns illegal. and that is why so many of the voters are nervous about any laws even some that are reasonable, they are worried is that the first step to getting rid of guns and the second amendment entirely. >> a lot of people at the center of the conversation who are making decisions who say they should get rid of all guns. i think a lot of people who -- and gus let me get you to weigh in on this -- who are at least part of the conversation influential members say that they respect the second amendment. however, weapons of war as they characterize them should not be made available to people for protecting their family or protecting their home. there your perspective, do you -- what did you see? >> well, sure, look, in-politicians should really take heed of what is going on
5:31 am
here. let it serve as a cautionary tale if they have not learned from what happened in 2012 originally where the youth vote was effectively what decided the presidential election in many states. and really what helped decide the presidential election in many states in 2016. so look, if you are not looking at the bigger picture here and seeing that there needs to be some sort of reforms institutesed -- i know the house recently passed some bills. there is action being taken. these politicians should really be looking at this incoming youth vote, young people that are signing up to vote especially in the midterms, and truly taking a step forward to making something happen. these students have been through a lot and it is important that we stop tragedies like these happening in the future. >> president trump tweeted about bump stocks saying the obama administration legalized bump stock. bass idea. as i promised the department of justice will issue the rule
5:32 am
banning bump stocks with a mandated comment period. we will ban all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns. it seems to be that these kids have mobilized enough, president trump on some levels, he listened. he is paying attention. >> he is, but he is making this divisive again. this didn't happen in a vacuum. our enemies are benefiting from the fact that we know that an average of 13,000 people will die this year from gun related incidences. and we're willing to just accept that. we are so divided as a country that we're willing to say 13,000 people will die. name any other strong country that is willing to take on 13,000 of its people dying and that is exactly why the russians for example are promoting these kind of divisive messages including from president trump because it makes us look weak abroad. >> one of the questions that i have after any of these large spectacles, and i don't use spectacles in a dismissive way, but just in the withdraw
5:33 am
defini raw definition of passion. >> you can't miss it. >> that's right.hdraw raw definition of passion. >> you can't miss it. >> that's right. what then will be the impetus to move this forward? everyone has come to washington. members of congress aren't here. the president is in florida. but how will they continue to keep this on the front burner, how will they continue to get people to pay attention regardless of your view on what the legislative fix should be? clearly something has to change. >> i completely agree with that. you just showed a young lady that was interested in registering students to vote. i think that is the first step to truly pressuring congress into taking action not yesterday -- excuse me, 234089 tomorrow, but yesterday. and we need some sort of solution to this to prevent these tragedies from happening in the future. and congress i think will
5:34 am
listen. when they are seeing voters that have been previously deciding presidential elections and in some instances in 2014 in some races deciding congressional elections, they will listen. they will take heed and obviously do something about it. but i think the first step is to register to vote and exercise your civic doouft. a duty. and make sure that they are listening. >> all right. we'll take a quick break, but a lot more to talk about. we'll keep our eye on these marches. >> and andrew mccabe is writing a scathing op-ed in the "washington post," calls the president's tweets about him unhinged and says accusations about his accused lack of candor are untrue. [whistling] hello. give me an hour in tanning room 3. cheers! that's confident. but it's not kayak confident. kayak searches hundreds of travel sites to help me plan the best trip. so i'm more than confident.

5:39 am
former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe is responding to his critics to his firing. and those he says are attacking the fbi. >> we're of course watching those rallies here in washington around the world. but we also want to talk about this editorial in the "washington post." he talks about learning of his own firing through a friend who saw it on cnn, writing this, not in my worst nightmares did i ever dream my fbi career would end this way. let's bring on our panel back. and first, i mean, this is now -- mccabe is added to a list of doj, former doj employees,
5:40 am
critics of this president and this was prettying calling the president's tweeting celebrating his firing unhinged. >> definitely. and i think the problem right now is we have allegations from all sides that undermine the credibility of doj. we have the president who has been on a twitter storm about the fbi, about doj and trying to politicize it. and we then have a lot of dedicated public services like mccabe and sally yates and others saying there has been partisanship within doj. so does this paint a narrative that the department of justice is in some way broken and does that help the russian's mission in showing that our government institutions aren't working? >> in a sense, gus, is there a sense that what russia set out to do in terms of the days on and the confusion, that it is working? >> well, lookon and the confusion, that it is working? >> well, look it is troubling certainly what is happening here. but look, i think beyond look -- looking beyond the russian
5:41 am
narrative here, i think that we should truly look on to see what he is going to say in this op-ed as a matter of, you know, looking at what is going on here in general. truly take heed as to what a former member of the fbi and obviously the surveillance community here in this country is saying, flight right? we need to institute some reforms especially coming down from the president how this is done, right? >> the question also is how it was executed. his firing. which he said it was like disembodied, impersonal, some of the words he used on this. >> and coming after tillerson. >> let's put up a portion of the op-ed that was published in the "washington post" last night. i've been accused of lack of can door. that is not true. i did not knowingly mislead or lie to investigators.
5:42 am
of course the firing was rested on these recommendations from the office of the inspector general, the office of professional responsibility saying that that was the point. and he goes to -- he tries at least to explain how that just isn't holding water. >> and i have to say i'm a little skeptical. the office of inspector general, these are serious people who take their jobs very seriously. and honestly the fact that donald trump in a tweet has criticized the inspector general saying hey, we should have a separate investigation, why are you letting this inspector general -- this is full of obama people doing this. well, that is why i think that if they are saying that this andrew mccabe laid, i think that they did a very serious investigation. and i'm sure he had his chance to explain to them land and they made the recommendation. i will say, though, that president trump as usual is his own worst enemy. if he had not tweeted so much about andrew mccabe, we wouldn't be wondering did this firing have anything to do with the
5:43 am
fabt the preside fact the president didn't like him. if he had just let the process take -- >> that is the problem. because we haven't seen the in-speck tore generin inspector general's report, but we have seen the president trump's tweet of 90 days to go until he retires with full benefits. you know, mccabe now as he wrote in his initial statement said that his family had been silent, no more. imagine -- i guess we can expect more of this from andrew mccabe. >> look, i think when you think about president trump there is a heightened level of in-enity tud as it relates to leadership and a lot of the chaos that you are seeing spread out to the various agencies are because of the lack of leadership that comes from the president. you cannot treat people in a disrespectful manner and expect them to be mute, to expect them to be silent and not say nothing at all. and the president has shown he has no regard for anyone but himself. when you create that type of
5:44 am
environment, when you foster that type of environment, at some point when you back people into a corner enough, they will say enough is enough. so i do expect that you will see more individuals continue to speak up and speak out against the president and that does not serve him well when you are trying to lead an entire country. >> and when we talk about and branch it out to russia and what is in the "washington post" about george papadopoulous and that report saying that he pushed trump -- the trump operation to meet with russian officials, that it was embraced by the campaign, i mean, what does george papadopoulous at the end of the day -- he has already pled guilty to lying to the fbi. how dangerous is he to this president? >> i think very dangerous. but we didn't need him to tell us that senior campaign officials and trance significant team officials sanctioned meetings with foreign governments.significant team officials sanctioned meetings with foreign governments. michael flynn met with kislyak and we found out several months later that senior campaign and
