everywhere. i felt like eventually it would happen here, too. >> inside politics, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics." john king is off today. to our viewers in the united states and around the world thanks for spending your sunday with us. the country is grieving for santa fe, texas this morning. authorities say a 17-year-old student opened fire at his high school friday killing ten and injurying at least 13. the alleged gunman is in custody facing charges of capital murder and aggravated assault. officials say he used his father's guns during the deadly rage. investigators say gun fire erupted at the school not long after classes began and authorities found explosive devices, pipe bombs and pressure cookers in and around the

school. for the survivors the emotion is all too raw and sadly all too familiar. >> i was scared for my life. nobody should go through this and feel that in school. this is a place where we are supposed to feel safe. >> i don't care much what happens to me. i hope my friends are okay. >> i don't know why somebody would do this. nobody in that room, nobody in that school deserved that. >> it has been happening everywhere. i always felt like eventually it would happen here, too. i don't know. i wasn't surprised. i was just scared. >> the shooting comes three months after a school massacre in parkland, florida that reignited a national debate on guns including a walk on washington. after the florida massacre the states republican government signed law raising minimum age

to buy a gun at 21. texas governor greg abbott who walked into search service later this morning says condolences aren't enough. >> we need to do more than just pray for the victims and their families. it's time in texas that we take action to step up and make sure this tragedy is never repeated ever again in the history of the state of texas. >> with us to share the reporting and insights we have carl holts, politico's and perry bacon of 538. perry, i want to start off thinking about these kids. if you think about the 1950s it was the duck and cover generation. now you have a situation where the kids essentially are expecting this kind of thing to happen at their schools like

they are the lockdown generation. >> can't stop thinking about it happened everywhere. i wasn't surprised. we should be surprised that there are shootings in schools like this, but we are not. the students feeling that and saying that i can't stop thinking about this weekend. in terms of what happens next, the governor saying we have to do something about it is important but i don't know what that means. republican governors are the president committed to not pushing much gun control. lieutenant governor saying we need fewer doors at schools which i don't this can anybody thinks is a serious idea except for him. i don't know what can happen in terms of policy. >> we have seen new activist from the parkland massacre that happened in florida and some kids involved in that. emma gonzalez who is one of the activists reaching out to the kids at santa fe saying santa fe

high you didn't deserve this. you deserve peace all your lives not just after a tombstone. you deserve more than thoughts and prayers. we will be there to support you by raising up your voices. rachel, one of the things that comes out of this is some solutions. you hear abbott saying he will look for solutions and some people saying nothing could have been done in this situation. >> i think that at the state level republicans are feeling some pressure. it will be interesting to see if texas which is a red state. republicans after the shootings often emphasize school safety. so getting more -- through grant money they can give to local officials to potentially bring in more security. >> hardening the schools. >> the interesting thing i noticed is that a lot of

advocates, gun control advocates have realized that they are not going to change policies in washington right now. they are really emphasizing getting young people registered to vote and out to vote. one district in particular that i'm watching in colorado that had two shootings in the past two decades. remember columbine and aurora. this is going to be a key district to watch to see if democrats can energize and push him out of office because he has been there with the nra. we'll see if they can make the change they are talking about. >> it will certainly be something that comes up in the mid terms here. ted cruz talked about the idea of gun control and whether or not this was a good idea. he said he talked with students at the hospital. here is what he had to say. >> every single student gathered in that hospital room said gun control is not the answer.

they volunteered that unprompted. they said if you take away our guns that's not going to make us safer because the murderers and criminals will still have guns. >> it is true that texas is different from florida. those students obviously very different growing up in a different gun control than possibly students in florida. what do we think the national conversation will be around this? >> i think there are two separate issues. one is what are the politics of the terrible disaster shootings going to have in swing districts where gun control can be an issue. and then the separate question probably more important outside of the beltway most americans is how do you tackle this problem to keep our kids safe? it seems obvious after parkland and shootings that there is not an easy solution. even if there was gun control, that this has to be a peace meal

thing where law enforcement agencies are talking to each other. schools are tough about gathering information about troublesome kids. it's always like that guy was a bully. that guy wrote weird stuff in his locker. it's a combination of these things. i think it really is a separate issue than the political question which is is the republican to do anything substantive on gun control reached a tipping point. >> we have seen a president reacting to the tragedies on his -- reacting in very different ways, sometimes flip-flopping. >> i remember the meeting where he said take the guns first. one interesting thing i thought by watching the governor there was him saying we can't just say our prayers anymore. that has been a talking point from the left against the republicans in this. for him to say that i thought was very interesting. obviously there is not anything big happening with gun control.

i think the big difference is the democrats are willing to talk about gun control. for years they wouldn't go near this issue during an election. i think they think that it is slowly becoming a more positive message for them in some of the swing states. i think you will hear a lot more people talking about it. we'll see what happens in texas. i think it will go more to how we put more security officers in the schools. there was security there. so one of the immediate reactions is not the solution. it's on the ballot this year. >> the president. you cover him day to day. what do you expect we might hear from him? >> tell us now. he did set up this commission and promise to be committed to banning bump stocks. on the second category the

progress has been incremental. i think the commission is the only structure he has to turn to. i do expect we will hear more from him in the coming days. >> unfortunately, this might happen again. coming up, a republican uprising over immigration and why speaker ryan can't quiet the revolt. ♪ hey allergy muddlers: are you one sneeze away from being voted out of the carpool?

immigration petition conservatives demanded a house vote on a hard line immigration plan. when they didn't get their way they blocked a massive bill dealing a blow to ryan. as the vote went down phil mattingly reports that while scalise continued to work on whipping members ryan leaned on a railing and looked on. at one point he made a motion of wiping hisands as if to make clear he is done with the process for the day. the failure raises questions about his ability to control his conference and credibility as speaker. senior republican source told rachel that this is a problem when you have a lame duck speaker who announces he is leaving eight months in advance. he can make calls to urge them to vote for something but who will care? who will care? one of the things you got paul

ryan wiping his hands of this process. it seems like some of his members are wiping their hands on paul ryan in this instance. >> i think some people are starting to get antsy. they would like to see new leadership and they are ready to move on. paul ryan has had a really tough couple of weeks. it began with the chaplain flap. he fired a catholic priest who was basically the minister for the members. you have moderates who are sick for waiting for a bipartisan daca fix. and then the failure of the farm bill was particularly embarrassing because conservatives weren't the only ones who took the bill down. there were a birunch of allies o voted against the bill. that's why i think you are seeing some people push on him. you have folks blaming conservatives and conservatives blaming leaders.

there is the narrative, the under the radar thing going on where he should have been able to twist some arms that he was unable to twist. >> one of the arms he was unable to twist, representative jeff denim talking about the issue among the moderates in the house. >> we have given a lot of time, years actually to not only secure our border but find a permanent fix for dreamers. i asked give us a timeline when we can have a full debate in front of the american people. we are forcing one. this is republicans and democrats coming together just to say let's have a debate. let members answer to their own districts on what their position is to doing this. >> this is all about immigration. it's all about where the folks are running. he is in california. a lot of people who sign this petition i think 20 republicans so far are in districts that hillary clinton won. >> this to me is the really interesting thing about this. it has been the conservatives

for years in the house who have caused trouble and stirred things up. this time i hesitate to call them moderates. more moderate republicans saying we are the ones on the line in november. we need to be taken care of. so ryan, they have been kind of cooperative and helped ryan push things through. now they are saying it is our turn, we are the ones at risk. i think to rachel's point this was a double disaster for the republicans because not only do they have to face immigration, but they have brought down the farm bill. they need farmers. this is one of their core constituencies. farmers are seeing house republicans abandon us. i think it was a bad -- >> double disaster. >> one of the reasons that previous speakers haven't announced early that they were leaving. >> this is something that john

boehner struggled with before paul ryan took over where speaker ryan has got to juggle what he believes personally with what he believes his congress wants and it is hard to understand. paul ryan has been a catholic sort of his brand of compassion and conservatism and how you can minister to that aggression immigration votes are not what he wants either. so this tension with the more conservative elements has just been this fissure that has been very difficult to manage. >> we started off with a clip of ryan saying there is not 218 votes. i don't think that is true. i think if the bill protects dreamers probably has a majority almost all democrats and a bunch of republicans. it's not -- the underlying issue

here is that the bill with the majority support in the senate and the house among hall chambers is not something trump supports. the core of this is that trump is not clear what immigration bill people like and trump will sign. the answer is nothing we can figure out. >> we'll see what it means for the mid terms. people who are incumbents as well as congressional candidate dan david who is running in a philadelphia suburban district. here is what he said. i would like the president to do his job and i will do mine. i win or lose on my team's merits. i think that the president has a full plate with foreign affairs and special prosecutor investigations. burn there. he is a republican. what is the president doing? the president in terms of immigration, he seems to want to be hard liner on immigration.

you hear the rhetoric coming out of this white house. >> we will continue to see that. when the president needs to he will tack a little more specifically to the national security threat aspects to slice of illegal immigration. that is different than the question posed to voters on the ballot in swing districts. it is going to be much more narrow and about daca. >> about the economy and daca and passion for children who came here. that will be the political debate in the places where a lot of control will be. >> 23 seats. >> different than base politics. next president trump and his allies say it is time for bob mueller to wind down his russia meddling probe but there is word this weekend it might still be expanding. ♪ ooh, heaven is a place on earth ♪

it is year two of the special counsel probe and robert mueller is facing attacks. and rudy giuliani is leading the charge. >> mueller should bring this to a close. it has been a year. he has gotten 1.4 million documents, interviewed 28 witnesses and he has nothing. >> you can tell me that this investigation is worth the time that it has gotten and the money spent then you don't know what you are talking about. >> so far mueller has brought 75 criminal charges against 22 people and companies and secured five guilty pleas. we are learning this weekend

that the probe is expanding into possible foreign campaign interference. the "new york times" reporting on previously unknown trump tower meeting in august of 2016 that included donald trump jr., an israeli specialist in social media manipulation and prominent trump supporter who is former ceo of the controversial private security firm. the times says the meeting's participants offered to help the trump campaign and he responded positively and that is unclear if anything came of it. trump jr. says nothing did. george nater met frequently after that with trump advisers and cnn reported two months ago that nater is cooperate wg special counsel investigation and has testified before the grand jury. it is trump jr. who said nothing came of it and that the meetings were with trump jr. this is your paper.

someone jokingly referred to donald trump as the forest gum of collusion. he seems to be open to it at some point meeting in trump tower and now this meeting coming to light. this doesn't look great. >> i think it is an important new development. remember a couple of weeks ago when rudy giuliani was brought on because he understood bob mueller and knew the process and could work with him and he was cool and calm about it? look how much that has changed over the weeks. they are super frustrated. bob mueller bob mueller is not going anywhere. one of the problems is that the president had been told time and time again that this was -- that they were going to get this over with. at the beginning of the year it would be over with. they are sitting there and it is getting bigger and bigger. i think that we will see a lot of pushback from the white house on the latest meeting like the pushback that came last week. we had a plant in our campaign

and that turned out to be not exactly the case. >> this is the president tweeting on thursday and friday about what you are mentioning in this so-called plant. the president of the united states tweeting reports are there was indeed at least one fbi representative for political purposes into my campaign for president. if true all time biggest political scandal. he also tweeted if so this is bigger than water gate. it does seem like they have gone from sort of a witch-hunt to spy gate in terms of the way they are talking about this. >> it does not reflect what the report says is going on. >> the story is confusing and a little hard to follow but important for people to understand what is going on. this is a serious investigation that so far keeps finding new areas to investigate. it's not like they are creating tangents. we are talking about every time you sort of peel away the onion

there is a new direction to follow in terms of contact with somebody close to the president had with somebody in at least unorthodoxed manner that requires further investigation. you have to imagine that if this were a different president, a previous president or different president now that each of the revelations would be a major news story, grounds for congressional investigation. one of the challenges that robert mueller faces at least in the court of public opinion and maybe in real life is that people expect these to be resolved and people are used to instant everything. this is very complicated stuff. the republican leadership either isn't sure if they will want to stand up to president trump on this and draw a protective line or if there is a political calculation. but what mr. mueller has on the other side sort of going for him

is that there seems to be some substance behind each door, something further to pursue. >> you have trump tweeting basically saying release of the documents calling on doj. what do you make of that? where does this go? >> it seems like one of the new lines of attack we are seeing republicans do on the hill is that they are demanding things from the justice department that justice is not comfortable getting over whether identity of informant. fbi director said the day we can't protect a human source is the day americans are less safe. republicans found the avenue where they ask for something doj is not comfortable with giving and then they say we will hold you in contempt of congress and then they are attacking. it is important to note that the president's allies are saying time to wrap this up. in fbi terms one year is nothing. >> think about all the other

investigations. >> white water, iran contra. one year is a very short time particularly with the number of guilty pleas as you have shown to the idea that wrap it up is an odd thing to say. this week where it appears that devon nunez with the president and other people outed an fbi informant is an important story. we are beyond investigating. christopher wray was trying to stay please stop doing these types of things they are hurting this investigation and future investigations and they will not stop doing it. we are in a dangerous era in terms of trying to break up doj. >> mark warner who is senator from virginia spoke to this idea. he said it would be at best irresponsible and at worst potentially illegal for members of congress to use their positions to learn the identity of an fbi source for the purposes of undermining ongoing

investigation into russia interference in our election. what is the president's next move here in terms of talking about this? is this just going to be where he is in terms of hammering this whole idea, this wrong idea that there was a spy embedded into his campaign? >> i think if nothing else, if no ramping up occurs we will see a continuation to effort the discredit the validity of where the investigation is going to wear the public down, give it alternate ways to think about this. that is certainly what he has done. the big question continues to be will he try to do something more extreme than that? >> we have seen some of that, the wearing down on the public. republican support for mueller fell from 29% in march to 17% in

may. the next big question, does the president testify. you have rudy giuliani in some ways being all over the place. the president himself being all over the place. what do you think they are laying groundwork for? >> i think what everyone has talked about. this isn't really aimed at mueller, the pressure and aimed at the public to create the perception. this is really dragging on and look at this investigation. they don't really have anything. they are trying to undermine mueller and are having some success. i have no idea if the president will testify. i think that idea still makes a lot of people very nervous. >> he doesn't want to testify. >> rachel? >> it's the big -- >> very difficult. >> you are exactly right. next up, north korea speaking of unpredictability, goes after team trump and threatens to scuttle the summit.

what the white house is saying about the meeting. first politicians and former cabinet members say the darnedest things. check out this pointed commencement message from former secretary of state rex tillerson. >> the central tenant of a free society, a free people is access to the truth. if our leaders seek to conceal the truth or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts then we as american citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom. when we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth, even on what may seem most trivial of matters we go wobbly on america.

probably have a very successful meeting. we heard certain things from south korea. we'll see what happens. if the meeting happens it happens. if it doesn't we go on to the next step. officials say south korean president moon spoke for about 20 minutes last night with president trump. a statement says they discussed north korea's various reactions. is this thing happening? is this part of the whole theater of it? the cliff hanger aspect that trump likes to have with everything? >> the president is right in suggesting that the white house is proceeding as if it were going to happen. they are proceeding with the plans to put together plans. the problem strategically is he has shown his hand. he wants it bad. talk about the nobel peace prize. that is the cherry on top.

he has shown. when you hear him say if it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't. that is meant to down play the idea. kim jong-un is a smart guy. he can see that the president has some domestic trouble at home. the president has not a lot of foreign policy accomplishments outside of this and the president has used this idea that he could be leading to a huge moment of diplomacy to boost political standing at home. kim understands that for every president your power base, strength starts at home. certainly it's a test. beyond that, is it more than a test? we are getting -- down sizing military exercises is one thing. >> which is what they did. >> and that was -- >> but kim understands that the president is talking about total denuclearization. kim is not going to go into any

summit giving up all sorts of stuff. it is at the very least a signaling. it may signal more than that. i know they are planning for a summit to happen. >> we know trump wants to talk directly and did that on thursday, as well, when he talked about the libyan model and -- here it is. >> the libyan model isn't a model that we have at all. in libya we decimated that country. there was no deal to keep gadha gadhafi. we went in there to beat him. that model would take place if we don't make a deal most loikly. if we make a deal i think kim jong-un will be very, very happy. >> one of the things that trump talked about was offering

protections to kim jong-un which he is a dictator. >> what i make of all of this is this was never going to be easy. you are dealing with north koreans and they will try to play you as much as they can and they are having some success. i think that the president wants this so bad. there is a possibility that it might not happen. that will be a disaster for the president who has built this up so big. i think that we will be going through this for the next few days. the chinese and trade is part of this negotiation. we will have to see how it plays out. you have two extremely unpredictable people at the top. >> lindsey graham offering warning and trump saying how bad he wants it. >> the worst thing you can do is sit down and meet with president

lowering of expectations around this? trump talking about being the peace maker and then saying maybe not? what is your sense? >> i don't think trump lowers -- i think he has to avoid in my mind negotiating before then. if he is giving up more things before then it makes it harder to push further. you have to be willing to walk away and he is saying he is but i'll be curious to see if he can do that, walk away if he has given up too much to have the summit in the first place. >> we'll have to see what happens over the next three weeks or so before it happens. next our reporters will share a page from their notebooks including why harry and meghan's big day ignited a new generation of royal enthusiasts.

fighting over this bill. >> van jones, jared kushner, donald trump -- >> on the other side, john lewis went from some friends in the black caucus really shaping up to be something. >> i'm keeping my eye on china this week and maybe more specifically on what president trump does or doesn't say about china. as we all know there was a visit a couple of weeks ago with u.s. officials to china. and another round in d.c. this most recently we saw a statement over the weekend from the two countries very positive talking about essentially suggesting things are much better. but really very little detail. how much money are we talking about? china says they will buy more u.s. goods. is president trump backing away from this tariff threat that he was so explicit about? this comes after the president made these very positive statements suggesting he would help zte telecom company.

what is this all building up to? it is very important to watch what his president and team snl in the last couple of weeks. >> another test of his great negotiating skills. we'll see what happens. so house republicans in their battle to keep the house have basically been building this shadow campaign. there is a super pack that sort of bills itself as the superpack to protect the house for republicans. it's doing something particularly interesting. usually they put a lot of money in at the last minute and do a lot of sort of negative advertising on tv. this has hired -- recruited 4,000 volunteers and set up a ground game in 34 swing districts, something we have never seen done before. democrats don't have anything of this sort on their own and they are able to take unlimited

campaign contributions and basically funnel this money into key districts. time will tell if it works. >> so these are the primaries on tuesday. i'm watching two democratic primaries. there is one in houston and one in georgia. and they have the same dynamic. one democrat says i will win the general election by mobilizing our base. everyone who voted for obama last time. one candidate says that. the other candidate says there is not enough base voters. we need to win some of the trump people, too. democrats in georgia and texas have to choose which is a path is working better and which can get them over the line. my guess is neither. >> sort of holy grails. >> i will close with something fun, the royal wedding. i was one of the billions who got up and watched them get

married and what a service it was that quoted martin luther king, a gospel rendition and wrapping it up with an eta james civil rights anthem. the wedding sparked a royalism, sparked enthusiasm among younger generation and opened up a whole new chapter in the relationship. when will they visit america and will they stop by the white house? and what will meghanit mean to equality? and that's it for inside politics. thanks for sharing your sunday morning. hope you can catch us on week days. up next we have state of the union where jake tapper will interview the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee. tune in.
