rich and poor alike. unites america. ancestors were native to these shores, brought here as slaves or immigrants back like my family from ireland. or those coming today, looking to build a better life for their family. the american creed that we're all created equal was written long ago. the genius of every generation of americans has opened it wider and wider and wider. to include those that have been excluded in a previous generation. that's why it's never gathered dust in a history books. it's still alive today after 200 years. i honest to god don't believe donald trump sees it that way. january 20th, 2017, in his
12:01 pm
inaugural address, president trump painted a dark bleak picture of our country in crisis when he declared "this american carnage stops right here, it stops right now." but as a sitting president, trump's anger, hate and divisiveness pitted americans against one another, preying on our divisions and doing anything about the endemic and the epidemic of guns as fuelling a literal carnage in america. we now have more mass shootings in the year 2019 this january than days of past january 2019. as of monday, according to the data from the gun violence archives, there's been 255 mass shootings in the first 217 days
12:02 pm
of this year. can't let this go on. can't and i will not let this man be re-elected president of the united states of america. folks, this incompetence, his immorality, his carnage stops with us right here right now. starting in the midwest. limit to four years and i do believe this, that history will look back on this president as
12:03 pm
an abberant moment in american history. if donald trump is re-elected, i believe he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation. if we give him four more years, this is not the country envisioned by washington, adams and jefferson. if we give donald trump four more years, this won't be the nation bound together by lincoln. we give donald trump four more years, this will not be the nation lifted up by roosevelt or inspired by kennedy. it will not be the nation that barack obama proved bends towards justice. [applause] the danger donald trump and the alt right pose to this nation
12:04 pm
isn't hypothetical or exaggerated. it's real. the core values are standing in the world, our core democracy, everything that makes america america is at stake. everyone know whose donald trump is, people that support him. we have to show him who we are. we choose hope over fear. we choose unity over division. yes, we choose truth over lies. we stand together, if we stand together, we will win the battle for the soul of this nation. we're the united states of america. there's not a single thing
12:05 pm

[applause] z >> shepard: former vice president biden speaking in burlington, iowa excoriating the president of the united states and his presidency. marking the shootings that have taken place in recent days in el paso and dayton, ohio saying that as president if elected, he will begin the process of gun control, sensible gun control and background checks and all the rest. marking the unmistakable rise of
12:06 pm
white nationalism and saying as president, he will work to fight against it. calling us to our better souls. to recognize that white nationalism is real, white nationalism is on the rise and that white nationalism is without question a very serious problem in america. and beating down those that helped facilitate it and encourage it. because they're an enormous part of the problem. during this speech, in fact, four minutes ago, the president tweeted we presume from air force one watching sleepy joe biden make a speech. so boring. the lame stream media will die in the ratings and clicks with this guy. it will be over for them, not to mention the fact that our country will do poorly with him. it will be one big crash. at least china will be happy. flying from dayton, ohio where the mourning and the grieving continues to el paso where the mourning and the grieving
12:07 pm
continues. thus far they've not allowed the press corps to come with them saying it's not a photo open. instead, the white house releasing its own pictures of the president's activities today while keeping the media away. john roberts is at the white house for us this afternoon. striking contrast there, john. >> yeah, no question about that. beto o'rourke we should point out releasing his own picture of himself with a victim of the el paso shooting as well. you know, this is a day when people in el paso and dayton are still mourning the dead. there's memorial services, viewings and funerals still to be had. the politics is flying back and forth. the president on his way out of the white house talking about sleepy joe biden saying his lost his fastball. the press pool was kept away from the president and first lady's visit at the miami valley hospital earlier today. that appeared to be by design. the white house was trying to not make this look like a photo
12:08 pm
open but the social media director tweeting out awhile ago, pushing back against senator sharrod brown who had criticism of the president. the white house was there videotaping the whole thing. so we'll see what comes out of that and what they try to release from that visit today. on the way out the door this morning the white house, the president pushing back on his critics that say that his rhetoric as joe biden was talking about is emboldening white supremacists. the first question in full disclosure was my wife working for abc who asked that question of the president. listen here. apparently we don't have that. >> what do you say to your critics that believe your rhetoric is emboldening white nationalists? >> my critics are political people trying to make points. >> the president did agree though with one of his
12:09 pm
colleagues on the republican side that the sharp tone of the back and forth across the political fenceline needs to be cooled down. i asked him about that this morning. >> senator ted cruz today said that the people on both sides of the political aisle need to tone down the rhetoric. you agree with that? >> i do agree. but we have toned it down. we've been getting hit left and right from everybody. one very nice conversation with the mayor of dayton. could not have been nicer. then she says i tried to call it when i spoke to her. i didn't receive any calls. they're trying to make political points. >> remember in his address to the nation monday, the president denounced all forms of racism and white supremacy. vice president mike pence repeating that condemnation on tuesday. today the president was asked what he plans to do about the rise of white supremist hatred
12:10 pm
in the united states. listen here. >> i'm concerned about any group of hate, i don't like it. any group of hate. whether it's white supremacy, whether it's any other kind of supremacy, whether it's antifa, any group of hate and i'll do something. >> the president was asked today about the fact that he and the shooter in el paso used the same word "invasion" in reference to immigration that the president insisted today that his use of the word is in reference solely to illegal immigration. listen here. >> you and the shoot or el paso used the same word. do you regret that? >> i'm talking about illegal immigration. i think illegal immigration is a terrible thing for this country. you have to come in legally. >> on the issue on what to do to prevent future mass murder, the president said he supports new measures on background checks
12:11 pm
for firearm purchases. he didn't say specifically what, leaving that to congress to work out. i asked him whether he would call congress back from the recess this month to deal with the issue. here's his response. >> we're dealing with leadership right now. you know, you have two sides that are very different on this issue. let's say all good people, two sides that are very different. if we get close, i'll bring them back. but it has to -- we have to see where we are with leadership. >> now sharrod brown of dayton held a press conference after the president left. both of them said they were encouraging the president to call back the senate to pass new background legislation. sharrod brown said he would like to reinstate the assault weapons ban, which was in place between 1994 and 2004. a study by the nih found that mass shootings were reduced by 70% during that time period. there's a lot of people that argue with those statistics. they're from the national
12:12 pm
institutes of health. they were critical of the president saying he and mitch mcconnell are in bed with the gun lobby. sharrod brown also saying that at first he didn't want to go on a tour of miami valley hospital with the president because he did not want to enable the president's racist talk to which the white house is pushing back very strongly, shep, saying that it's a shame that sharrod brown is choosing politics on this solemn occasion. shep? >> shepard: john roberts live at the white house. thank you. breaking news now on fox news channel. you may have heard about the man hunt for two men accused of murdering an american woman and two others that have been on the run and in hiding in canada for weeks on end. well, now there's a break-through. it's major. and it's next. for veterans with va loans. mortgage rates are down! and you could lower your monthly payments right away by calling newday now. you can refinance at newday usa with no income verification,

12:19 pm
to the river and on sunday, police did a search of around 100 feet of the nelson river looking under water with dive teams, trying to find any sign of these teens. the search eventually led them to high probability areas they said with thick brush where their bodies were found this morning. they're not saying how they believed the teens died, but they're saying they're conducting autopsies to confirm their identities and confident this is who they were looking for. now, bryer schmegelsky and kam mcleod have not been charged in the deaths of the two americans but they're expected in the deaths and facing murder charges for killing a 64-year-old botany professor, leonard dix. all three bodies were found 2,000 miles away in british columbia. police the last several weeks have tracked the teens across the country seeing at least two other sightings, once but in a
12:20 pm
trail in alberta and once on surveillance in saskatchewan. up until this discovery friday, the trail went cold and then police found the boat and then they found this evidence. it's welcome news to the people in that community that have been living in fear that they may come across these two, especially after police were forced to make the tough call to scale back that search after finding no leads. the question as to motive still has not been released by police. at least update, they said they were looking into nazi images that one of the suspect shared online. they didn't update anything since then. that is the question that we will be waiting for that answer for, shep. >> shepard: thanks, jacqui. president trump set to touchdown in minutes in el paso. he is spending the day meeting with victims of the weekend's mass shootings. of course, as you no doubt know, many people are not happy to see him at all. the protests and how the president is responding to his
