tv   The Five  FOX News  October 3, 2017 2:00pm-3:00pm PDT

2:00 pm
have been identified. better than 150 still being treated. about half of those in critical condition. "the five" is now. >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana, it is at 5:00 in new york city, and at this "the five" ." the las vegas police department had just wrapping up a press conference, the sheriff saying they still don't have a motive, with the investigation is still very much ongoing. they have collected 19 firearms come along with explosives, several thousand rounds of ammunition, and electronic devices, including several pounds of ammonium nitrate found in his car. the sheriff is clearly getting frustrated over video and images that have been leaks. one of those images you see her here.
2:01 pm
it shows the outside of stephen paddock's room that is now a crime scene. there are lots of questions over a suspicious financial transactions. let's go and see the very latest. they sheriff said that he couldn't tell us all that he knows, but you can bet that he probably know something, does that mean that they have more information than they are letting on at the moment? >> it certainly means that they are deeper into this investigation then they were 24 hours ago. he was very forthright. fascinating information about cameras inside the room, he said there were cameras will set up inside the hotel room and outside the room, even a camera set up on a hotel service card. the camera outside clearly meant it to be able to give him a warning if police were coming down the halls. it is unclear if they were set up to get him firing on the crowd below. so the sheriff did not talk about that. but he did talk about the fact that over the course of the four
2:02 pm
days that stephen paddock was inside that room, that's room service to go in that room a number of times, apparently nothing set off alarm bells. we should also note that the sheriff was -- you talk about videos, the sheriff was very unhappy about the pictures being released about the weapons. we are talking about the rifles on the floor after the attack. the sheriff did confirm that at least one of those weapons we have heard many more were actually equipped with something that replaces the shoulder rest, and what it does, it means that the weapon still fires one shot at a time, but the bump stop it means that it automatically holds the trickle, meaning that the weapons can fire between 300 to 700 or 800 rounds per minute. this went on for 9-11 minutes. you can imagine the thousands and thousands of rounds that he fired off, and the sheriff saying that he had enough weaponry to go on for a lot longer than that. he also makes some very informative decisions on the
2:03 pm
houses, that the house in reno we now have learned that they found five guns. they found rifles, and they also found a plethora of ammunition in that house. you add to that the other house, they found 19 weapons they are, explosives, and they have pulled out a whole bunch of electronics and computer hard drives. that is critical to this investigation because, remember, the hard drive is where they will get all of their information on who stephen paddock was having conversations with in the days and weeks leading up to this. and we should finally let you know that the sheriff has come back into the whole question of the girlfriend. the girlfriend, remember, was in tokyo, and now he has confirmed that she is in the philippines. they have talked to her. they are actively in the process of bringing her back here. the sheriff did say that she is a person of interest. they will be fully investigating, and he intimated that she knows a lot more than she is letting on. and finally, we talked earlier
2:04 pm
about the thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars that were sent from the shooter over to the philippines. we have not confirmed that as well, it is unclear exactly who that money was intended for, but now you can see where the girlfriend is fully in this investigation as it goes forward. >> dana: as always, super comprehensive. we still have more questions for you. kimberly, go for it. >> kimberly: we talked about the large number of ammunition, weapons, two sniper nests, it is very puzzling and disturbing to me that nobody noticed anything and thought that was suspicious, caring and that level of equipment, that's much ammunition, making noise, to such those two platforms off of. a lot of people have so many questions in this case, and then when you see in law enforcement alluded to this that they may be holding back it, that they may not be telling us everything, it seems there is much more to this
2:05 pm
picture than we are being told. >> i think you are right, kimberly, but in defense of las vegas metro police, they have been pretty forthright. they have given us as much information without trying to compromise the investigation, they have given us a great deal of information as this thing has kind of set forward. i will tell you that it has brought up your concern about how in the world did he -- he is talking about a ten suitcases of ammunition. how do you get that much ammunition, 23 guns inside of the hotel room? someone brought up do we change security? do we have bags go through some kind of a security apparatus like they do in israel? and that is an open question. i think the answer to that is probably not to because it make it difficult situation, millions of people who come here year to year, it would really be harder to actually nail that down, but it brings up a very good point. as for the guns themselves being set up and being aimed out the window, i mean, 23 weapons
2:06 pm
inside of there, dozens of other weapons at the house, he bought to dozens of weapons legally in nevada and utah over the course of the last few years, and one has to ask it, this woman who lived with him in these houses where they had explosives. they had ammonium nitrate in his car. that was what timothy mcveigh used in the oklahoma city bombing. so if you are that's woman and you live with this man and he has all of this firepower, you have to ask yourself did she know more than she is letting on? and i think the answer for las vegas metro police is yeah, i think she did. >> greg: this is very difficult. cable news moves way faster than an investigation, and it is like no matter what we ask you, i don't know if we will get an answer to it. but one piece of this is they said there were no links to terror before they analyze his personal electronic devices. isn't that kind of premature? i think it does not terror
2:07 pm
related, but if you don't look at his personal electronic devices, when you say that, that seems really premature. >> and you know, it is a fair point, gregor, but they are talking about his social media footprint, and right now, it is just nonexistent. he was a guy who did not have a facebook account. we know that his family says that he had no religious or political affiliation, there were no ties to terrorism. he did not make any of these outlandish comments, so that is what they were going by. do they believe that there might be something that could take them down a different right? well, the sheriff said sure. they have to look at all of the stuff. they were saying that there were no automatic ties to terrorism, and if you look back at the shootings we have had over the past several years, every time we get a name, we match it with the social footprint, and within hours, we know right away that yes, there is something that indicates there was some outside force pulling into this, and in this case, we simply didn't.
2:08 pm
the bigger question is was this his primary target? did he planned to have a more elaborate plan? you plan in the ammonium nitrate, you throw in the explosives, and they are reporting now that he may have rented condos downtown in las vegas that oversaw a different concert that was held a week ago. was he planning for a different venue, or was he planning on this menu and a much more elaborate attack? that's may be in these communications that were brought out, but i think we try not to get ahead of ourselves in this investigation. we gets a lot of information, a lot of it is wrong. so we try to the best of our knowledge rely on our sources, two sources for every piece of information, and then we are relying on the sheriff. >> dana: we are going to go to jesse watters next. a >> jesse: something about the still doesn't add up to me. they ruled out everything, the accomplice, they ruled out isis,
2:09 pm
no political affiliation, did they interview anyone that the girlfriend talk to in the philippines? i don't think so, they haven't done a full interview. he has no media footprint, he has electronic devices in his house. they haven't scrubbed to those either. the guns haven't been fully traced. so i think there was a lot to put out in the beginning. and that worries me, especially after you look at all of the money. now the father, he was a suicidal psychopath who was on the fbi's most wanted list, he was highly intelligent. he was very much wanted. maybe this guy just got to bed dna from his dad, he is also a psychopath. he is very methodical. he looked unbalanced. at that seems right now, if you take out all of the other stuff that they ruled out, that seems
2:10 pm
like the only thing, as complex as this is, that you can really hang your hat on. >> well, just for clarification, they haven't really ruled out a lot of things. so they say that they haven't had the information or the evidence to lead them down this road, so when you say they are reeling things out, may be the phrasing is they just don't have enough evidence to take it in that direction right now, so when it comes to the girlfriend, they said the morning after the shooting that there is no evidence to suggest that she was a part of this. we don't think she's any longer a person of interest. and you are exactly right, they came back six hours later saying you know it, she is a person of interest, and yes, we are interviewing her, and we want to find out what she was doing in the philippines at this very time. and today, he even took a day step forward saying yeah, not only what she does need philippines, but we are actively trying to bring her back because we believe there is more to this whole story than we first talked about. maybe they know more about these electronics they are pulling out of the home, but i think,
2:11 pm
you know, in fairness, they are not really ruling out all of these things. they are trying to take piece by piece the investigation, take the weapons, take the explosives, take the people that have talked to them and the family, and see if they can put this puzzle together and come up with some kind of a motivation, which right now, they simply do not have a motive for why he would do that. will they find one? the sheriff said yes, we will find a motive. do we have one right now? not that he told us. >> dana: and we will go to juan williams. >> juan: i am also curious about the gunman. recently, he had been involved in gambling transactions. so that required some government notification. it also said that he was an investor and commercial -- i think actually residential real estate in dallas. and finally, that this was so interesting to me, that he had
2:12 pm
worked for both of the irs and the market. so then it occurred to me could it be that he had some financial difficulties? is that possible that his gambling was not going well, because he was often described as a professional gambler. >> it is very possible, first of all, you talk about the financial difficulties, he was a letter carrier, he was a male man and his early career, worked for the irs, and yes, he invested in real estate. we know that he has a home in mesquite, texas, and nevada, as well as reno, and in central florida, as well. so these are all properties that he owned. he didn't have renters, so clearly, he had enough financial ability to pay for these homes without having them rented out. we also know that he was in fact sending tens of thousands of dollars overseas to the philippines, so he had enough liquid finance to be able to do that. was he gambling? sure, it is on the record. you have to notify the
2:13 pm
government. we know that in recent weeks he has played exorbitant bets, $10,000, 2:30 thousand. we don't know whether he won back lost. his brother would often call him and say yeah, i am made this much money, he considered himself a professional gambler. that is how he made his living. but he also had a lot of investments. was he broke? we don't know because we don't know if he won or lost the bets. all indications are that he was still fairly liquid, was still doing pretty well, no foreclosure notices on his homes, and he was sending tens of thousands of dollars in cash, so all signs point to the fact that financially, he did not seem destitute. >> dana: it one last question for greg. >> greg: when i think about the money being sent to the philippines, that doesn't say who it is going to, so i think the assumption was that it is going to this woman, but she could very easily be a cover. he could be sending money to a foreign group. we know what is going on the philippines right now.
2:14 pm
there is a possibility that she could be doing that. >> juan: he could be simply trying to hide money from the irs. >> it could be, but remember, there was no escape plan. you are trying to find money from the irs, there was no way out of this. he did not leave himself and escape plan. it was not like he was saying okay, i am going to shoot as many people as i can and haul out the back door and go to the philippines. i think the mentality here was different. he was sending this money for some reason, and we don't know exactly what the reason was, but he was trying to shelter it in some capacity. i don't think there is any indication of that so far, but we don't have the electronics. we don't have the computer hard drive that they are now mulling over and actively looking at it to find out exactly what his motivation is for doing all of the stuff. the gambling, the money overseas, the looking at a different condominiums in downtown las vegas over a different concert. the ammonium nitrate in the car,
2:15 pm
there are so many different aspects and facets to this explanation that we don't have answers for. we are just going step-by-step with the metro police department. >> dana: all right, thank thank you so much. late night comedy it gets serious. it's taking on gun control, greg's monologue is next. don't miss it. but some people still like cable. just like some people like banging their head on a low ceiling. drinking spoiled milk. camping in poison ivy. getting a papercut. and having their arm trapped in a vending machine. but for everyone else, there's directv. for #1 rated customer satisfaction over cable switch to directv. call 1-800-directv. and her new mobile wedding business.tte at first, getting paid was tough... until she got quickbooks. now she sends invoices, sees when they've been viewed and-ta-dah-paid twice as fast for free.

2:19 pm
>> greg: is so last night, guess what the late nighters i had to say? >> i come from a place where we don't have shootings in this frequency, so it is hard for me to fathom. >> is that the best plan? we just pray for a miracle? >> sorry that we live in a world where there are people who will put a gun up before your lives. >> congress can be heroes by doing literally anything. universal background checks, or come up with a better answer. and force obama to deny mentally ill gun purchases. or a better answer. reinstates the assault weapons ban or come up with a better answer, anything but nothing. doing nothing is cowardice. >> greg: i try to come up with a similar montage about the 4300 shooting victims in chicago last year. no luck.
2:20 pm
but last night was all about being together. this is silence? look at, i don't blame them at all. the circle that they run in, such outrage is required. and they mean it, so what do they have in mind, specifically besides do something that, do anything? at least colbert has suggestion suggestions, but i get to that, either through the kitchen sink at terrorism, a sentiment mocked up many times by these very same people, but unlike them, i am a little flexible. sure, let's ban up bump stops. it would make me feel better, though i am not sure, i think people will make your own. you can make your own guns now. should that matter? from 1992-2014, the number of u.s. civilians firearms have increased by 50%.
2:21 pm
while the murder rate has dropped by more than half. think about that. that is amazing. so more guns doesn't equal more deaths. but still, the media focuses on the gun, especially early on before all is known. why is that? my theory is if you focus on a weapon, it allows you to spread some blame onto people that you already dislike. gun owners, republicans, trumpet voters, sometimes it feels like a class thing. remember that cbs lawyers seeing that she had no sympathy because they were a gun loving republicans? she got fired, and for what? saying what her friends thought she wanted to hear. so juan, there is no question that when you watch these late-night comedians, their sentiment is heartfelt, but when you listen to them, the suggestion, i don't believe that they could have stopped this guy. he wasn't mentally ill. he has no criminal record, so
2:22 pm
the background check -- it sounds like you modify the gun, which is illegal. so in this case, in a lot of these cases, i believe that these culprits are so thorough and think things out so comprehensively, that's they are unstoppable. these are the people that get through. doesn't make sense? >> juan: absolutely, and make sense. and you and i argue over guns. and i was looking at the poll numbers, and what struck me was that republicans generally think that whatever you do, it is not going to make that big of a difference. it is not going to stop the next case. and i think for the way like people like you and me to have a conversation is to think in terms of what is realistic and what could be done. it seems like this guy put a lot of planning into this, but what would stop the next one? and so what i came away with from looking at the numbers was it is almost universal, like 90% of americans think we should have background checks, private and public sales of guns.
2:23 pm
people think we shouldn't allow military style weaponry to be sold. now that should be limited, right? people also think that if you have a mental issue and it is known to the government, that they should give that information, so they won't sell you a gun. so there are these steps, but guess what, greg? when people think about the politics here, i think republicans are so locked in with the nra. they are a big backer of the republican party and a trump, and people think that you can't get to by the nra, right now, the big bill in congress is about silencers, and when steve scalise was shot, they pulled it back. now they pulled it back again after this one. while, why would republicans be doing that at a moment when so many people in the country are concerned about gun violence, but that is where we are. >> greg: i guess this argument had nothing to do with this.
2:24 pm
because it would not have had an effect as far as i can tell. a lot of these things sound good, but they don't have an effect, jesse, and the more you read about it, it is kind of amazing when you see it's places that have very strict gun control, like chicago or baltimore. it doesn't do a bit of good. >> jesse: i don't like being lectured about guns. the other thing, the silencer bill, that is fake news. that was never going to be on the table this week. that was a lie. but there is common sense constitutional and gun-control reform, i am all ears. let me hear it. but as a matter of fact, of all of the shootings, massive shooting since 2012, none of them would have been stopped byy a new proposed gun laws. that was fact-checked by "the washington post" ." that includes the tennessee shooting, san bernardino. i am still open to what you are talking about, these little slide stops, and you can buy a
2:25 pm
kit to make a semiautomatic machine gun for $50, and you can watch the video. but you also mentioned that was a great monologue it, that as a gun rate ownerships have increased, the homicide rate has decreased. chicago is a great example. stringent gun laws, and a dozen people get shot every weekend. criminals will always find a way to commit crimes. that is why they are criminals. it drugs are illegal, people use drugs. prostitution is illegal. people still buy prostitutes. people act like they always have to do something, and a lot of times what they do is useless. so let's just get together, which were the facts to come in, we will decide what we need to do, and then we will take a vote on it in congress. >> juan: let me just respond very quickly. i just think that when you have -- i think it is like 12,000 people a year die from gun violence in the country -- i
2:26 pm
think if that was anything else, he says that the number one threat is terror, if the terrorists were killing 12,000 people a year in the united states, we would impose some very strict at -- >> jesse: i would say to that we save about 200,000 lives a year. it is off balance. >> juan: that is not a rational argument because you don't know what you are arguing. >> jesse: of course it is. you made the grade point last night if you live out in the suburbs or a farm or something like that, you have a lot of property, you have some daughters. when you call 911, do you know how long that is going to take? most americans don't live in cities, juan. >> juan: yes they do. most americans live in cities, and secondly -- >> jesse: in the red states, there are a lot of people out there who want to feel safe. let's hear you talk about it taking guns. >> juan: no, no. >> greg: there is an interesting thing here, i was talking to john a lot this
2:27 pm
morning. he has testified before congress, and the parliament of australia about guns. this may be the first machine gun act, even though it wasn't a machine gun. it was a conversion. meanwhile, in france, you have had for such examples in 2015, and they have the tightest gun-control laws, but they have had four of these attacks. so a band, even there, it doesn't work. so my point is this. about this stuff has been happening in places where they have a very strict gun shoot control. >> kimberly: yeah, absolutely, and it is important to look at the facts, information versus hysteria. because we see this automatic reflex, knee-jerk reaction, right away, we've got to have more gun laws. we have to have more background checks. well, he did all the background checks. he passed us. he was able to purchase these guns and also get some that are illegal. so there was not a lack of
2:28 pm
anything that could have prevented this horrific tragedy, but we say right away, let's see what we can do, chip away and eventually erosion of the second amendment rights. the second amendment constitutional right should prevail, and yes, we should do a better job of understanding and figuring out how we can prevent the shootings, not just by the weaponry used, but by the person who is pulling the trigger. what motivates, what feeds their darkness? what is it? is it? is that mental illness? are we doing enough about that? are we seeing something and saying something? as everyone has been encouraged to across this country to prevent these things, do not be afraid to get involved. don't be on the sidelines of life. when you are the best possible eyes and ears out there for law enforcement and those that would try to combat against the terror attacks. >> juan: i was just thinking that in scotland, after the kids
2:29 pm
were killed there, and also in australia, after they had a massive shooting, they impose limits and to reduce the easy availability, easy access to guns. you don't buy that at all? >> greg: it didn't work. let's check out australia, the illegal gun market is unbelievable, and they make their own guns. >> juan: they haven't had another kind of massive shooting. >> greg: but there gun crime has gone up. and in england, when they had to their buyback, they only had one year in which homicides went down. dana, let's get you in here. >> dana: especially in america, we like to think that we can legislate things away. and there is nothing that the government can do to make people do the right thing. this actually goes much deeper than that, and part of the thing about people saying if you see something, say something. we have seen this time and again with many of these other cases, the neighbors in the san bernardino case. they said we didn't want to say
2:30 pm
anything. i imagine that we will hear from the people who work at mandalay bay. you know, what happens in vegas stays in vegas. >> kimberly: he was a high relic, we did not want to interfere. >> dana: but i think we tend to believe that we can do more than what god can do, and we can't legislate our way to morality. >> kimberly: or into someone's heart. >> jesse: i am not a big gun guy, i don't own a gun, but someone can say i don't want to buy the weapon, i want background checks, so i think we can agree on that. >> greg: okay, let's move on here. president trump visited storm ravaged puerto rico today. will that be good enough for his critics? probably not.
2:31 pm
but they never i always loved me back.otatoes, so i came up with o, that's good! comfort sides with a nutritious twist like mashed potatoes with yummy cauliflower, but you'll only taste the love. see what i mean? o, that's good! are upgrading their watere filter to zerowater. start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids... pour it through brita's two-stage filter... dissolved solids remain!
2:32 pm
what if we filter it over and over? oh dear. thank goodness zerowater's five-stage filter gets to all zeroes the first time. so maybe it's time to upgrade. get more out of your water. get zerowater.
2:33 pm
2:34 pm
>> dana: president trump and the first lady got a firsthand look at the devastation and
2:35 pm
puerto rico today. they met with the residents of the island. >> you have never seen anything like that? did you feel safe? >> we were in concrete, we were safe. >> not a lot of movements that you could feel? vibrations? >> now, we were safe. >> kimberly: the president also said this about the islands, suggesting that puerto rico has given at the u.s. budget a hitch. >> i hate to tell you, puerto rico, but do you have thrown our budget a little out of whack. we have spent a lot of money on puerto rico, and that's fine. we have saved a lot of lives. >> kimberly: does everyone get that he is making a joke? i'm not juan. >> dana: i mean, there certainly are budget impacts. i do think that he was joking on that. i think there is nothing like a firsthand visit from a
2:36 pm
president, because now he has seen firsthand the devastation, he has seen the people and looks them in the eye and said to them we are going to help you out. he will be held accountable for that, and i think that he will come through. >> kimberly: all right, fantastic, so he got a very warm welcome, handing out as a church, supplies, people seeing him in person. you saw all of the iphones out and recording. i think he is trying to make a little bit of levity and wake of a very tragic situation with what has gone on in puerto rico. >> greg: let's be honest, if las vegas had not happened, instead of republicans are evil over gun control, it would have been trump is evil over puerto rico. >> dana: while they are still saying that. >> greg: the factual expanse of three impeccable responses, the constant to that was variable in three responses, florida, houston, or puerto ric rico, the third disaster is the only different variable because
2:37 pm
of the location. it is far away, it is surrounded by water, and the infrastructure is a suffering, and it is practically bankrupt. it might even be bankrupt. i thought it was interesting, we didn't get to it because of the tragedy, i think the mayor expected when he went after donald trump for him her to ser as a woman, and he refused it to. so who is the bigot? i think this is a guy who saw her for her job and called her out on edge. and the issues on the other end were multiple. she tried to pull this on him. and trump wasn't going to live there. he has the facts on his side. he responded, and i think it's looks like it is going to be -- everything is going to work out. >> dana: okay. >> kimberly: it so, jesse, how
2:38 pm
did it work out for the president? do you think that these are now steps that are going in the right direction? do you think everything will eventually progress forward? >> jesse: i think it was good. the joke -- he gives the enemies a little bit of ammunition. because that is a land that is going to come out. but that's fine, he can't hold a joke back. i know the guy. he has always got to be funny. it is fine. i wasn't offended by it, i don't think anyone in puerto rico was offended by it. people were laughing and cheering, so much a fake news coming out of puerto rico. they say that there is cholera breaking out. that didn't happen. in the san juan mayor, she is saying there is no help. she is standing behind pallets of bottled water. that is ridiculous. you also have bernie sanders call it president trump a racist for not saving puerto rico. meanwhile, he is saving a lot of
2:39 pm
blacks and hispanics in houston as well. so that is bogus. you are a friend said this -- if you flee devastation and come to the mainland, i hope that you settle in a swing stage. register to vote and don't forget. she is out there campaigning off of this tragedy. they anticipated this. they had naval ships off of the coast, they had a hospital, they had fema there. they had aircraft assets, a million hot meals, and million bottles of water, to say that this was not well handled is a lie. there are bad roads, there is crumbling infrastructure, there is no communication. and the local politicians, they are not known to be the most -- >> kimberly: they are -- >> jesse: are you interrupting me? >> kimberly: how about in the water, the submarines with a generator to power the rest of
2:40 pm
it? i am all for that. >> juan: i have a different view of this because it seems to me that when the puerto rican -- when the hurricane happened, maria, i think, right? that there was a slow response from president trump, people point out he was busy fighting with the nfl players and all of the rest. and then they realize we have a problem and to his credit, they put additional military forces in place. budge then, and i think this is what upsets me more, i think what you guys said is largely right about infrastructure and the difficulty of the location, then he gets involved with this fight with the mayor. and the mayor today said very clearly she didn't try to say anything nasty about the president or his response. she quoted the lieutenant general, jeffrey buchanan, who is leading the response effort and said we don't have enough equipment, we don't have enough troops to help at this moment. and to that to reengage the
2:41 pm
president. now he goes down there today and he says hey, only 16 people died in puerto rico. nothing like the thousands that died in katrina. you think what? oh, my gosh, . >> kimberly: next, one cnn reporter's stunning remark on the victims of the las vegas massacre. we'll be right back. how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep --
2:42 pm
oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges.

2:45 pm
>> jesse: even in times of a national tragedy, the liberal media won't let up on president trump. it is unreal. they are now attacking him for visiting las vegas. and even worse, stereotyping the victims as trump supporters. here is jobs only. it's because this is a town that he is connected to you and knows well. his name is on top of a hotel there. he campaigned there a lot, so this is something that i am not surprised at all to see him go there, visiting early. something else to keep in mind,
2:46 pm
a lot of these country music supporters were likely trump supporters, and this is something that is hitting the tapestry of all americans. they are going to be victims from across the country. >> jesse: so he is visiting a city with his hotel in it, and just because the victims were maybe country music fans? is that what he is saying? in speech you unintentionally, this is kind of interesting which he just did. is he suggesting that maybe they are being targeted for that? that this could have been like a scalise shooting, that he is basically saying that a country music festival is like a trump rally. and he probably didn't mean it that, but by linking it to trump, he kind of did that, it is kind of interesting. he is saying this. i am sorry. but if he -- at cnn it does this. they will find any link it, whether it is a charlottesville, they will find a link.

you could find a link from that. >> jesse: he has been a reporter for a very long time. >> dana: he was doing a live show. they get word from the white house that the president is going to go to vegas on wednesday, so he is trying to explain why the present would go and do that. i don't think that he intended to make a derogatory correlation or that he was only going because it was in vegas. >> greg: i feel like he has said stuff like this before, maybe i am wrong. research. >> juan: it seems to me that he was trying to build a case for why the president is going so quickly there and it didn't go so quickly elsewhere. and i think that is all that it was. but it touches on the such a sore point at this moment. i would have stayed away from much. i think there are lots of people who do think that the country music fans are in fact a big people who are always talking second amendment and the like it, and this tragedy befell them, and they said oh, my gosh. >> jesse: but that is not why the president would visit them
2:48 pm
quickly. >> kimberly: the president would go to las vegas because it was the worst mass shootings in american history. is everybody like it can you wake up, take the smelling salts, and realize that is the situation? stop trying to politicize it so what if they like country music? fantastic. from all different states, some from canada, et cetera. and an hour before that, they were singing "god bless america" in unison. so god bless them, and rest their souls. >> jesse: coming up, the country music world it pays tribute to the victims of the las vegas massacre. some beautiful words spoken there. we will show you. hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight... four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night.

with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it.

2:53 pm
seem quiet. i said yeah, there were a lot of people killed last night. and she said did you know any of them? and i said not that i know of, and then she said why are you so sad? i said first of all, these were innocent people. horrifically taken. and secondly, they are like family. it is the one thing about country music that has always been at the center of it, and it is community. it is about community. and so i did know those people in that way. >> juan: it is about community, can really? >> kimberly: i think that is so true and a special moment, you see the way that country music and country music fans can really come together, and people from all different backgrounds that can really get along and enjoy music and sing together, and sing god bless america.
2:54 pm
i think that this is a very special tribute, and i appreciated the words that he had to say. i found them soothing. >> juan: nashville is the home of country music, and they had their own a gun violence. people were killed and wounded. you take it to be a special moment for nashville? >> jesse: yeah, it is a special moment for a national country music and the whole country. i am being woken up to country music. and i wouldn't say i am an expert, but i do know that it is like a family, like she said. and i am sure that country music feels like they were attacked, and they were a target. i think it is going to be great to see everyone come together and rally as a result of edge. there are going to be great songs written about this, it is going to be the community is going to be brought together. if there is a silver lining, this is it. >> dana: indeed, there is also a lot of this about family,
2:55 pm
being a good neighbor. also beer. fun, happiness. that is why festivals are so popular, because people in country music do you like to get together. i was a country music dj in college, and every concert that i go to, like the garth brooks and yankee stadium, everyone knows all the words. i don't go to a ton of other concerts, but i think it was grades that they love that because spiritually, people look to them in nashville as a couple that they turn to in times like this. >> juan: tried to be nice. >> jesse: i was going to say that i tried it to like country music. >> greg: a lot of my good friends are country music magicians. musicians. i finally said yes. >> juan: it was pretty good.
