8:08 am
the importance of connecting with our community and promoting connect you to your senator. accuracy above all else. >> what do you think the press gets wrong when we're covering >> i think, jim, partly what's mass shooting after mass so heartbreaking this weekend is shooting? is it st that we don't focus that we're seeing two wonderful enough on the pligs politicians? >> let's not speculate about the all-american cityies connected n causes of gun violence. it's easy access to guns. it's not video games. the worst possible way. it's not mental illness. what's it feel like there in dayton? it's specifically an american >> it's very hard. crisis because there's easy we got walloped by 15 tornadoes access to guns and also i think sometimes media runs out of two months ago and that's been the focus of the whole community angle and now this. angles and ways to cover this. dayton, briefly, is a proud we don't need new solutions to gun violence. we need to enact the solutions that are there, that we know city. it calls itself the city of work. and we need our lawmakers to do neighbors. that is its name. that. >> you, yourself, say you don't it's a big small town that a lot get numb to this, even though of people go to where this some journalists feel like they happened last night and it really touches everybody. do, citizens watching this feel we're trying to get our arms like they get numb to the daily, around, you know, who got hurt, weekly, monthly death toll. how are the victims and their you avoid getting numb by families getting word and how do focusing on the energy of your we come back from this. supporters. >> yeah. we're not numb. we're winning in state houses >> jim, bob, thank you both. and board rooms. best of luck in the hours and we've passed so many stronger gun laws at the state level,
8:09 am
days to come. one of the biggest stories, changed corporate policy. obviously, one of the most that's how social issues work in important pieces of this, the this country. you build momentum on the ground victims. and we still know very little and it points congress and the about the people who have died president in the right in both of these massacres. direction. they better be listening this. that will be a top priority in 2020 is coming. the hours ahead. we'll also take a quick break they should expect us. >> i'm getting emails during the and come back with our panel, show. one from rick, brian, nothing is talking about terrorism. going to be done from this. domestic terrorism. when and how to apply that term. sandy hook taught me that. more in just a moment. after sandy hook, i concluded family. cluded foe nothing would ever be done. what do you say to those folks? like unlimited with netflix on us. and now with each new line, >> hopelessness and cynicism is get one of our latest smartphones included. dangerous. it tells americans that they shouldn't act. $40/line for four lines and smartphones are included for the whole family. this isn't a polarizing issue. it gets people to the polls. 90% of americans support stronger gun laws. mid-term elections, we outspent and out-maneuvered the nra, seven legislatures have been flipped and we're about to do same thing in 2020. this issue doesn't change unless every american gets off the sidelines and uses their voices and their vote. >> you've been outspoken on twitter about one particular politician, president trump and the rhetoric that he has been expressing for years.
8:10 am
and you believe there's a connection between that rhetoric and what we're seeing this with tough food, your dentures may slip and fall. fixodent ultra-max hold gives you the strongest hold ever weekend. do you want to elaborate on what to lock your dentures. you mean? so now you can eat tough food without worry. >> they use guns 70% of the fixodent and forget it. time. and so they are inspired and emboldened by dangerous rhetoric from our leaders. and in america, they also have easy access to an arsenal and ammunition. and that's a very, very dangerous combination. we need the president to walk back his words. we need him to enact stronger let's see, aleve is than tylenol extra strength. gun laws, like a background and last longer with fewer pills. check on every gun sale. so why am i still thinking about this? >> 24 hours since the el paso i'll take aleve. attack and haven't seen the aleve. proven better on pain. president on camera. we'll talk more about that later this hour. as we've been talking to bernie (gasp) sanders on twitter saying mitch mcconnell, bring the senate back (singsong) budget meeting! sweet. into session. that's exactly what you were if you compare last quarter to this quarter... various: mmm. saying, senate needs to come it's no wonder everything seems a little better back into session and take with the creamy taste of philly, action. >> that's exactly right.
8:11 am

8:13 am
we are back now on cnn with these two mass shootings in ohio and texas. headline says deadly violence heightens concerns about domestic terrorism and white supremacists, but here is the thing. that headline was on friday. that was before the attack in el paso, before the attack in dayton. that headline was about gilroy. the fbi has been acknowledging the rise in violence in this country. fbi officials say they've seen a significant rise in white supremacist, white nationalist terrorism cases. we do know about the so-called manifesto published online by somebody, appears to be the shooter, a few minutes before the attack. let's talk about all of that and more now with the author of the book's "columbine and parkland."
8:14 am
dedicated to the american gun violence crisis and oliver darcy. let's talk about the so-called manifesto. it's an essay, racist screed. i don't think it should be glamorized calling it a manifesto. whatever we call it, it was published on this nasty message board about 20 minutes before this attack happened in el paso. it is not 100% confirmed that it was posted by all the evidence indicates he post this had document, attacking hispanics, fearing the replacement of white people. it's not the first time we've seen an online screed like this. >> no. and if this were a member of my family who had done an act of we are back now here on a family like this, if this were a special edition of "reliable muslim, we would call it for what it is, terrorism. sources," covering these twin mass shootings in america, one that is what it is. particularly in this el paso in el paso, texas, one in case, we know that authorities believe that the gunman posted dayton, ohio. sad how these all-american
8:15 am
this racist screed online, cities, the names of these cities become known for their anti-immigrant screed online, talked about using violence to mass shootings, one of the many tragedies as we await more achieve a political end goal. information on the suspects, that is the dictionary more information on the victims, definition of terrorism. and it's baffling to me, more information on the motives. actually, why this story is what we do know is that this so-called manifesto, this racist largely not framed as such. >> he is a suspected terrorist. essay was posted on a right >> right. >> we should say that. wing -- not really right wing we're at the point where there's enough evidence of that. just nuts message board, 20 newsrooms are waiting for minutes before the shooting in government officials to say el paso. concretely that this is the investigators are look iing at e document from the -- >> it's perplexing why government officials aren't doing that. connection between them. i don't know why they need to wait for some federal official to call it terrorism to call it national reporter for the for what it is. we know the evidence right in washington post and cnn front of our faces. contributor and nicole hannah we can call it for what it is. jones is a "new york times" another point, too, the part magazine staff writer. about government officials nicole, what comes to mind to seemingly reluctant to call it you, first, when we're talking terrorism, i remember during the obama years when conservative about an apparently racist talk radio hosts and fox news hosts were very -- would press attack in texas? what comes to mind to you when it comes to the press and obama, call radical islamic
8:16 am
coverage of racism and racist extremism for what it is, call violence? it by its name. >> i think what comes to mind is i'm hopeful, i'm looking forward to the same members of the sot of the difficulty that the media, same conservative talk show hosts, demanding that this president call this for what it media has overall of how do we is, white supremacist terrorism. america is under attack from cover these acts? clearly there's a lot for to us itself and it's about time we still find out. start calling it for what it is. we've been struggling to describe racism as racism and to >> some political leaders have been out in front of this. describe racist acts as racist the texas land commissioner said alcohols. >> a story that's been going on all week long. on twitter multiple attacks from let's go back to last saturday. self described white terrorists here in the u.s. in the last several months. elijah cummings gets a tweet this is a real and present attacked by president trump. we've seen newsrooms coming up threat that must be denounced. with euphamisms of whether it's good for him and the other politicians willing to say that, but where is the president? a racist tweet storm. it was a racist tweet storm but jennifer, in your newsroom, the a lot of journalists are trace, do you all have conversations about when a mass uncomfortable to say so. shooting, when any shooting is >> it's amazing the number of an act of terror? >> we do. euphasm mis we can come up with. motivation does matter. racially tinged, racially you know, it's almost -- it's been, you know, like you said, infused, racial essence, to there's a lot more energy in the describe what is clearly a racist rhetoric. part of it comes from a government for foreign terror. discomfort of many white journalists who call out things
8:17 am
domestic terror, most acts of domestic terror are shootings. that they don't feel we should we're interested in that. say so directly. and also it comes from having a motivation and how did he obtain the gun are the most important lack of historical context things. it doesn't form the bulk of our themselves in order to describe. if you study the history of race conversations, though. we're more focused on what bits of this story could contribute in this country, you know this to the conversation that could is old language, not something possibly shape policy. >> what about this manifesto new, that he's recalling the worst rhetoric that black and brown people have faced in this point? how should news outlets approach country for a long time. >> let's get into what is really covering the words of an attacker, whether it's in uncomfortable here. in this racist essay that christchurch, california or elsewhere? >> i like calling it an essay. appears to be published by the el paso attacker, he uses words the grandiosity of those words, like invasion, his ppanic it's one small thing we could do. we don't think of the way that invasion. wesley, we know who else has been using those words for perpetrators are seeing this in years. >> of course. >> it's not just president elevating them. i'm glad to hear that, i don't trump. although we could put up on screen six of the times he has think we need to focus on the why anymore and newsrooms, for used the word invasion. right wing commentators, other the most part, aren't. we used to be fascinated, that political leaders who talk this would dominate the coverage. way about fellow citizens of the >> what caused the gunman to do world, fellow people. this? that was columbine. >> certainly. >> and for years, that's what we have multiple strands of
8:18 am
the public wanted to know after. proof here. about three, four years ago, a the first is that the drum beat of this type of rhetoric has huge change happened. people stopped asking me -- i do been present in our politics for all sorts of public events. they stopped asking the question years, going back well before why, which was the burning question and it really changed president trump, although it's to some version of how are we extremely present in our going to get out of this? contemporary politics and the what's going to happen? handful of black and brown how do we solve this? reporters who raise this look like they're crazy, that they in general we don't need to know are history takeral. why this particular general trump voteers can't be racist a-hole did this particular and no, these th language isn't thing. >> coming from a can colleague at npr who said we should call it a manifesto because this is an ideology. it's about a movement acres pack racists. i don't know how bodies we have to see, how many shootings we of lone wolves. the other lone wolves, they're a have to deal with till we accept pack that learn from each other, are inspired by each other in that white supremacy is the the darkest corners of the ideology that's kill more internet and have to recognize americans than any other this is an ideology. >> sure bus it's a grandiology. ideology in the history of america. to its core it's who we are as a it's not like the communist manifesto. this is some, you know, dipshit nation and always have been and our deniability isn't protecting us. it may be protecting people's feelings because they don't have who to grapple with the idea but
8:19 am
it's not keeping anyone safe. we also give them the bigots, beyond that, we have to be it's a very small thing we can whatever, them. do as journalists. willing to tell truth. we're not going to solve this. we tell people it's raining in this case, this is different. outside, right? and it's not, you know, prec when this is about white supremacy, we've come full circle. columbine is an odd thing. they were the first ones, precipitatingly infused -- no, modern, to take the tactics of terrorism and use it for their own selfish personal agenda. it's either raining or it isn't. and that's mostly what we've been dealing with the past 20 when conservative commentators, prominent ones, when years with most of these mass conservative politicians, not shooters but more and more are just the president, the senator coming back realizing this is a thing you could get so much from texas was tweeting about publicity and use it for the rise in the hispanic political ends, christ church. population just last week, ted the garlic festival possibly. cruz was talking about anti-fa >> still unclear. >> this one definitely. there have been several of these. it's coming back to being a being labeled as a terrorist organization, a group that terrorist tactic and that's scary. >> the better part of ten years hasn't murdered anyone. >> some of them may try. now we said don't name the you'll hear from "fox & friends" shooter. don't put his face on tv all day. host some of them have tried. newsrooms for the most part >> you'll hear a lot of things minimize the names and faces but from fox & friends and whether this keeps happening. those things are true or not is what do you think newsrooms
8:20 am
should be doing? >> the no notoriety movement, a l another thing. there is a contagion effect, >> talking about calling antifa making these people celebrities is a bad idea which is a why a lot of networks now -- recent a racial organization. shootings that i don't know who perpetrated them and that's never happened to me. i am used to the president i've covered this six years. and i also was a follower of these horrific events before i started covering them. i can't remember a shooting coming out talking to the where i don't remember the public. president obama has done it perpetrator. that hasn't happened. after mass shootings. we pulled up the videos from that was a movement started by these moments where they've the mother of an aur ora victim. spoken to the country after terror attacks and mass shootings. where do you think president trump is right now? >> he has been tweeting since if you do a google shoot search the el paso shooting. he tweeted initially a statement for a shooting, the shooter's about that. 14 minutes later, he started face comes up, the victims very tweeting about other things. rarely. >> in el paso, we need to know he tweeted good luck to an mma it was a white guy, who he was, fighter. he retweeted people saying he is where he came from. we need to know things about the not racist. and then eventually he tweeted
8:21 am
suspect, the family, et cetera. again about el paso and this don't we? >> i think so. we're always looking for a place morning he tweeted about ohio as where how could this have been well. stopped? that's where those conversations there was sug sg gruesome about how those tweets were grouped are very useful. where in this trajectory toward together. like god bless el paso and god tragedy could somebody have intervened? bless dayton, ohio. that's the reason there's a you could have a two-for-one fascination of how did it get to this point? >> i want to know about the ten tragedy tweet from the hours fs driving from north of president. his aides are probably worried dallas all the way to el paso. about him speaking publicly. normally a president would he drove and drove and drove and address the country. drove and targeted, apparently, this community. do you really trust donald trump who was he on the phone with? to come out and address the where were his parents, loved country in a way that hasn't ones? lot of questions. made it worse? more with the panel in a moment, including the gun control conversation. quick break here. more on cnn in a moment. historically, that hasn't rself. happened. think about charlottesville, he made it worse and made it all staining be done... about him. i think he's terrible talking and stay done through every season. about anything in any length that's not ultimately about him, that he does not bring back to behr semi-transparent stain. the subject of him. if he wanted to do that here, he find it exclusively at the home depot. could. and he could address the cause of the shootings and the idea ylg that's driving this violence but we know he's not going to do
8:22 am
that. we know who he is. it's almost like we can't expect him to. the most we can expect is hopefully for him not to make it worse on social media. >> quick break with the panel, more "reliable sources" in a moment. we're oscar mayer deli fresh your very first sandwich,m... your mammoth masterpiece. and...whatever this was. because we make our meat with the good of the deli and no artificial preservatives. .. .. make every sandwich count with oscar mayer deli fresh. what's going on? it's the 3pm slump. should have had a p3. oh yeah. should have had a p3. need energy? get p3. with a mix of meat, cheese and nuts.
