washington. president biden makes an urgent plea to congress to pass new gun restrictions say now is the time for republicans to join with democrats on meaningful legislation. the president touted better-than-expected jobs numbers as americans continue to face surging gas prices and high inflation. in a moment we will speak with jean sperling about the plans to bring some relief. let's turn to lucas. we have seen a bit of a reset over the past week. >> today the price of gas is double what it was when president biden took office. it was guns that have the president's attention following a spate of mass shootings. >> enough. enough, enough. >> president biden urging congress to pass gun legislation many see little chance of it
11:03 am
happening. some democrats remain optimistic >> we had about six-eight republicans engaged. >> i absolutely think our partners are negotiating in good faith. >> the president wants to make gun reform central issue in the coming midterm elections. >> i believe the majority of you will act in making this essential to your vote. >> the president meeting with the federal reserve chairman along with treasury secretary janet yellen. part of a campaign from the white house. inflation is biden's top economic priority. he will have to do so amid staff shuffling. a number of them recently jumped ship. janet yellen saying she was wrong about the risk of inflation. some good news for the white house friday. the labor department says 390,000 new jobs were added in may. the economy remains 822,000
11:04 am
short of pre-pandemic levels. the record-setting price of gas and the president visiting saudi arabia after asking the kingdom to pump more oil. critics want to see that happen here in the u.s., not the middle east. president biden once called saudi arabia a pariah. accusing the crown prince of ordering the murder of a prince. >> he is expected to go in july. >> reporting from the white house with the very latest. thank you so much. joining us now as a senior advisor to the president, jean sperling. welcome back. good to be with you. >> thank you, john. painting a pretty rosy picture of the state of the economy, but other see storm clouds on the horizon, one of them being jamie
11:05 am
diamond the ceo of jpmorgan chase who says that there is a hurricane moving. we just do not know if it is a minor one or super storm sandy. you better brace yourself. is she right? >> i would be more reassuring than that statement for a few reasons. number one, one of the things we have seen is resilience to this recovery. you know, john, i have reporters calling me when delta hit, when omicron hit, will that derail the recovery? ufc and resilience. i think that that has to do with a lot of the strength of the american recovery act. you mentioned the job numbers. very positive. 390,000 jobs. there was something else they are. the washington post called the great return to work. we have now seen 4.2 million
11:06 am
americans returned to work just three-400,000 in this last month. i think that that gets a lot of confidence and reassurance to this economy. third, we feel that the strength in the labor market and the strengthen family household valid sheets, checking books, the fact they have less debt service, all of that gets us as a country better position they have virtually any other country to make a transition to more stable growth without giving up those job gains even in the face of what we know will be some tough medicine from the federal reserve to tamp down on inflation. >> let me get to what the forecast is in the future or just a second. the president will spend the month of june that despite their misgivings the economy is actually doing quite well. the president has a big hill to climb when it comes to that. is the economy getting better? only 20% say it's getting
11:07 am
better. is it getting worse? 77%. there seems to be a fundamental disconnect between americans perspective on things and what the president is trying to sell here. >> well, you know, what else is interesting is when you ask people how they are doing themselves, you do get more optimistic view, more people are say they are financially okay. you've seen checking accounts and debt service. fairly strong across the spectrum. we are big kids here. we understand. you have global inflation. we just got a report, more people with the acronym, 38 countries. thirty-eight major companies is 9.2%. this is a very difficult global phenomenon. it is caused by global events
11:08 am
related to russian aggression and variance of delta and omicron. we know when the president said this, it is little comfort for her family driving up to the gas pump are going through the grocery line and seeing those high prices. yes, even if it is a global phenomenon, people want to see their leaders taking it on. that is why this president tried to do everything he could both legislatively and administratively to have a plan to have lower prices and make, as he said, bringing down those prices his number one priority for working families right now. >> you said people still have money saved up. the debt services lower. there comes a point and it looks like it will be in the not too distant future. it will hit everyone really hard in the pocketbooks. they will suddenly feel much poor were then they have in the last two or three years. they will pull back on consumer
11:09 am
spending in any type of economic growth we have been seeing now, in the first quarter we know was negative. that will turn rapidly south. we could be headed into a recession. >> well, you know, john, what you said in the beginning is certainly right. families that have had a lot of good news happen for them. that does not mean they want to give back any of those races when they are at the gas pump. nobody wants to do that. that is why you see those numbers. you see them everywhere in the world. people are discouraged by higher prices and global supply constraints. i do want to say that when you have such a strong labor force, we are not going to be able to keep up this record job growth forever. obviously we will have to transition to more stable growth the factory of 3.6 unemployment, the fact that so many people are coming back into the workforce,
11:10 am
the fact that peoples general financial positions is relatively strong should give us a lot of confidence that we can make this transition again even with the federal reserve having to do some tough medicine to tamp down on inflation. >> let me come back to the friday jobs report. here is what the president said about it. >> we are not likely to see the kind of likely walked buster reports month after month like we have the past year. that is a good thing. that is a sign of a healthy economy with steady growth. >> we will not see 350-400,000 jobs created. we start dialing back on job growth and job creation, those jobs could stay open for a decade or more and that will really hit small business, at the bulk of which, those jobs
11:11 am
are from. what do you do about those jobs that are open now? >> john, again, one of the reasons why i focus on what they called the great return to work. what we saw in april of 2020, i mean, that was unprecedented. out even in 1918 did we shut down the whole economy. 20 million people out of work. the fact that just a little over a year after the president past the american rescue plan, we see virtually the same number of people back to work. 4.2 million have come back to work. the primates labor participation which is workers 25-54, we are actually seeing them back to work at the same pace we saw in 2019. i think what that starts to give you is a little bit more confidence that, yes, we are having solid growth, but as the
11:12 am
president says that growth stabilizes and we are bringing more people back into the labor force. those are the type of things that lead to more stable balance growth that i think americans want to see now. the record job growth has been great in getting us back. now people want to see some stable growth. they want to see prices come down. we want to give them some of the confidence to say we are better positioned than any country in the world. our growth came back fast, we have the most job growth ever in the history of our country in 2021 and the fact americans are still coming back to work should give us a bit more confidence that we are in a position to make this transition without giving up those historic gains in our labor market. >> you said the magic words there. people want to see prices come down. they also want to know when prices are coming down. this is what the average price of a gavel of gasoline is.
11:13 am
at the same time the dollar is shrinking for consumers because of runaway inflation aired the president suggesting that the end is nowhere in sight. listen here. >> we cannot take immediate action on how to bring down the price of gasoline. we cannot do that immediately with regard to food prices either. john: i know you don't like to be in the forecasting business, but you are an economist and that is what economists do. what do you say to the american people about when gas prices will come down, when the price of household goods and food will come down. >> let me say a few things. number one, and understanding why gas prices have gone up, january 17, that is the day that putin moves troops to the border of belarus and ukraine.
11:14 am
gas prices are $3.31. they had gone up, but they were up at $3.31. you said that they were $4.82 now. they have gone up $1.50 because of the unthinkable russian aggression in ukraine. john: back to my question. when can we expect gas prices to come down? >> look. i think we saw them spike up in may. i am sure that that will be reflected in the inflation report that we get this week. if you look at forecasters are suggesting, they are seeing that prices are supposed to moderate this year whether you're looking at the bloomberg survey or the independent congressional budget office, they are showing inflation moderating down. they are showing what the federal reserve looks at. they see that coming down.
11:15 am
again, that is what forecasters are saying. i think our job as you said, as a public expects us to do everything in our power to be the wind out the back of those prices starting to moderate. i think the president is being straight with the american public. dealing with unprecedented foreign-policy aggression that is oil and in international gas prices. he wants to be straight and saying there is no silver bullet to dealing with those international challenges we are facing. >> of a couple of issues i've got to get to quickly. the president may be going to saudi arabia july task them to pump more oil. here is what he said during the 2020 election campaign. >> we will make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are. there is no social redeeming value in the government in saudi arabia.
11:16 am
>> tough talk back then. now he is going to saudi arabia. why doesn't he just do something to improve the climate here in the united states? >> well, you know, in terms of oil production here in the united states, we are at record production for natural gas. near record production for oil. the president has talked to the major oil companies who committed they will increase production by 1 million a barrel by october and in the meantime, the president is releasing 1 million barrels a day through the strategic petroleum reserve. >> well, i don't really agree with that. it is having a positive effect. i understand if prices are still hi, as i understand, it is not much comfort to an american family going through the gas pump.
11:17 am
>> -- john: last question here because we are running short on time. here is what the president said about the shutdown of the plant by the fda last week. >> i don't think anyone anticipated the impact of the shutdown of one facility. john: the president said i don't think anyone anticipated the impact of the shutdown of one facility. that facility produces 40% of the nation supply of baby formula. how can the fda shut it down and not expect catastrophic consequences? >> well, because, this is an area, john, we have to look at safety as well. yes, it was a real challenge that we have such a concentrated industry where one company and one plant could mean so much. when that went down, one had to balance getting it up as fast as possible with protecting the
11:18 am
safety of american families. what you have seen is the president do that. you've seen abbott say that they are reopening that plant. you have seen operation fly formula. you've seen the use of the production act. 125 million equivalent of baby formula coming in safely. coming in safely from foreign countries. that is the type of action that you want to take. >> understand that there are some backfilling going on right now. the idea that no one could anticipate taking 40% of baby formula out of production would have an impact. i just don't get that. >> i think what the president was more referring to was it was hard to anticipate you what happened major plan, have this kind of problem that the fda would be forced to shut them down. if you look at what the president has been doing here, it is constant. his use has enabled the ingredients that have allowed
11:19 am
abbott and read it to increase their production 25-40%. you are seeing permission to bring in safe baby formula from foreign countries. you have seen the operation fly formula to use federal military planes to bring in baby formula. i think that this president is acting with a lot of strength. it is a tough issue. he understands, but, you know, again, encouraged to hear abbott say just this weekend they are in the stage of now safely reopening the plant that initially shutdown. >> back in production. a highly specialized formula. the outages have extended to 70% of stores across america. the problem continues to linger. thank you for joining us this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> potential political

>> i will not change my view on human rights. my job as president of the united states to bring peace if i can and that is what i will try to do. >> president biden considering a trip to saudi arabia to ask the kingdom to put more oil. he wants to put the american oil and gas industry out of business. jackie is with us. marie hart is with us. katie and former chief of that
11:24 am
to mitch mcconnell josh holmes. the president has set on numerous occasions he wants to and the fossil fuel industry here in the united states. he is going hat and hand to saudi arabia in july asking for more oil. he is in talks in venezuela and even -- to see if we can get some of their oil. does that make sense to you? >> i do not necessarily agree with everything you just said. he doesn't want to end the fossil fuel industry. he has talked quite a bit about the strategic reserves. >> he was pretty clear in the 2020 election campaign. >> he wants to put the oil and gas industry out of business. >> i don't agree with that characterization. the fact is that countries around the world obviously are key to the oil supply, our crisis here after pump at home.
11:25 am
no one is asking i want to get better gas prices here, but the saudis do play a key part. normal aire station of relations with israel, these reports, whether it is countering ironic. saudi arabia plays a key role in that. it is complicated, but the oil supply issue, gas prices at home, we have to talk to the saudis about that certainly and i think that president biden will. >> did i miss something, the president deliberately said he wanted to put the oil and gas industry out of business and he would no longer allow them to drill for oil and we just saw the administration take away leasing that was already approved in alaska and the gulf of mexico. the president has put himself into a position where he is going back to saudi arabia and making them a monopoly when it comes to providing american oil although his domestic agenda which has been loyal to the
11:26 am
climate change activists here and in europe has really put them in this position to make the pain the point. they don't have a real intention of lowering gas prices which is why you are not let them try. they don't believe that if they invest a lot of money and going after these leases are permanent set have already been approved that they will not be pulled out from under them as the keystone pipeline was. this is about investment in business. not simply going out and doing things that don't have a big permanent cost to these companies. >> what does it say to domestic producers when the president says your industry will go the way of the dinosaur at some point. meantime, we will forge all of these foreign partnerships. >> there is been a big divorce in this administration's foreign policy and domestic policy when it comes to energy production.
11:27 am
i also think reality has shown up in red their dreams and a whole issue here. starting the administration, talking about how they would deal pariah. now you show up a year and a half and begging for oil. the message domestically is real rough. [inaudible] >> exactly right. the position he put america in which is a real problem. he lost the leverage being america independent. you've a lot to say when you are energy independent yourself and your trying to look out for the greater part of the world. gas prices have doubled, you have lost a lot of leverage. >> what is a view from the white house? the president is looking at gas prices steadily going up. buying power steadily going down. we know we have a lot of oil and gas in this country that could be tapped and yet he is going
11:28 am
overseas to find more. >> he does not want to abandon his promises towards a clear and energy future. there was not an ask on the front end for any sort of shift when it comes to human rights. no pledge he would make that a forefront of his trip. yet the families of 9/11 victims crying out and say you better bring up alleged ties between al qaeda and saudi officials during this trip. it struck me as being sort of warm and fuzzy diplomacy. getting opec to produce more oil and accrediting for the yemen cease fire. statements where he really tries to be getting cozy with saudi arabia. >> the president had an op-ed in the wall street journal where he laid out his plans to try to help the country recover from inflation and keep the economy going.
11:29 am
part of the plan was to let the fed do its job all by itself. the other part was to call on congress for clean energy credits. we need some relief right now. there are a lot of people that look at the vast reserves we have here in the united states and, yes, we are almost back up to where we were pre-pandemic in terms of production. the climate that the president has created is not conducive to an industry that wants to invest a lot of money producing more gas and oil. >> a lot of permit still going unused. >> because they cannot get the permit for the items needed to tap those reserves. >> i think what the president and white house believe we need to do on inflation is all of the above. we have to take immediate steps. part of that is letting the feds do their jobs. we have seen things like great economic growth and job growth,
11:30 am
low unemployment, deficits are coming down. the challenges to cool inflation without cooling that economic growth. there a bunch of things we can do in the short and immediate term. the plan he outlined includes a number of different things. some that will give us relief in the short-term including the interest rate hike and some which will take longer term. clean energy is the way we have to go for a whole number of economic and environmental reasons. i think the president knows that >> there is no magic wand, john, i wish i had one. >> janet yellen admitted this past week that she missed it. we know jody powell missed it and now these are the people in charge of fixing it. do you have any faith that they can fix it? >> they chose to ignore the warnings and trying to get the
11:31 am
transformational agenda approved the problem with inflation is that it is like a horse leaving the barn, once it's gone, it is very difficult to get back. the only thing that stops it is a big crash. the national economic council is advising joe biden on these issues. chock-full of bernie sanders type economists. deliberately ignoring warnings from people like larry summers who worked as an economist for president obama. a vastly different opposed economic philosophy and clearly they continue to go down this path. >> how do you think this all plays out in november? >> in november it will have a big impact. you see almost every demographic , men, women, it does not matter, inflation is by far and away the biggest issue. they have one pretty solid play in the playbook every time you
11:32 am
have an economic problem, spend more money. that makes things worse in this situation. i don't see that politically becoming a better deal. >> the reason why the president will spend the entire month convincing people of the economy is better than they think it is based on what he is looking at a november. >> also, talking about this big reset. you have to change what you've been doing. what we have been hearing his a lot of the same things from, you know, the past few months. we have to pass pieces that have been installed since christmas. really no traction on the hill. we have not heard any new ideas out of them. when you have somebody like jennifer rubin writing an op-ed saying, you know, the white house should take a position, that is pretty significant. john: coming up next, the latest on the investigation and the uvalde school shooting and why some families are coming to

just days from now, expected to testify on capitol hill. amid reports the school district police chief and uvalde did not have a radio with him when he arrived on scene prompting even more questions about the police response there. in recent days we have seen more gun violence across the country including four people killed out of toll so oklahoma hospital and just overnight in philadelphia another mass shooting in the south street neighborhood leaving three people dead and at least 10 others wounded. a bipartisan group of senators working towards a deal on some gun and mental health measures. the house democrats say they will vote on more sweeping gun control measures this coming week. joining me now was steve scully's. a lawmaker who has faced horrific gun violence himself.
11:37 am
welcome back to fox news sunday. good to see you. >> good to be with you. thanks. john: primetime defense last week. here is what he articulated his vision on how we move forward. >> we need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. if we cannot ban assault weapons and we should raise the age to purchase them from 18221. background checks. red flag laws. >> let me take what the president said to break it into two main parts. an assault weapons ban. practicing for the congressional baseball game, you were shot by a weapon, a very powerful weapon that would not have been subject to the 1994 assault weapons ban. to shootings we saw and uvalde and buffalo and tulsa were committed by weapons that would be subject to that ban.
11:38 am
in terms of that particular issue, what is the best way forward? >> first of all, when you have a shooting, instead of sitting down and going what is really causing this, why do we see these happening more and more in the last few years, it immediately becomes a debate about taking away the guns. you see democrats quickly run. they were talking about passing hr eight in the senate. it would've done nothing to stop this shooting. the president himself went even further and started talking about going after handguns in that same speech. it immediately pushes everyone in the corner instead of sitting down and saying why don't we look and see if we can find some signs so there can be intervention. some communities actually do this. this just happened a few days ago. a student trying to not just shoot, but blow up his high school other students found out about it, they alerted
11:39 am
authorities and they were able to stop it before anything happens. we need to be focused more on stopping things before they happen. this is not something where having a conversation about right now and it should be. it becomes about democrats wanting to take away guns. go listen to the hearing had last week in congress. if we can't get this, we will blow up the filibuster and pack the supreme court to get around the second amendment. it is not some guideline, it's part of the united states constitution and the bill of rights. it is therefore reason. every day in america people use guns to defend themselves. and instead of talking about democrats always wanting to take away the rights of gun owners, law-abiding citizens especially, why don't we talk about the root problems. there are some common ground to be found. that is not where the situation
11:40 am
is. >> there may be common ground, but it seems that unfortunately nobody wants to find it. >> raising ph to buy one of these long rifles. the man that shot you was 66 years old it between 1949 and 2018 only two of the 31st mass shootings were carried out by people under 21. six of the nine deadliest shootings were committed by people 21 and younger. in light of those statistics, what is the best way to go on whether or not to raise the age? >> first of all, outlook in california, they had a bill to raise the age in the state of california. a federal court ruled it unconstitutional. instead of trying to go down unconstitutional routes, why don't we look at why more young people are doing this. there is somebody and that's cool that knew the shooter would take action before the shooting.
11:41 am
we did this after september 11. we got really good about focusing on stopping something before it happens. if you're in an airport now and there's a bag sitting idle it won't take long before someone alerts authorities. let the authorities take action if it is necessary and try to intervene and stop something before it happens and that of just immediately rushing to go take the rights of gun owners away. just a few days ago in west virginia there was somebody with a rifle illegally, he was a felon, should not have even had it any tried to go shoot up a bunch of kids at a birthday party and graduation. it was a woman with a concealed carry permit handgun that took down the shooter. a lot of democratic colleagues of mine that want to take away concealed carry permits. the president himself was talking about going after handguns. there is a case where the handgun was to take down a shooter.
11:42 am
in my case it was a cop with a handgun that took down a shooter. let's offer our prayers to the victims. even moments of silence right now give democrats yelling during a moment of silence instead of focusing on the victims and then let's go search for the root of the problem. how can we do a better job of connecting the dots and stopping it before it happens. like we did on september 11 which has worked really well as it relates to stopping terrorist attacks. let's put that focus on schools and young kids. not just at school spirit let's look at hardening schools. there is a lot of common ground there, too. helping harden schools and help provide ability for the schools to help kids identify a problem before it can happen. get that to authorities if you see a kid about to do something bad before they do it. >> congressman, it is a great not to think we could prevent all of these things. as people said after 9/11, when
11:43 am
we are trying to prevent a terrorist attack, we have to be right every time and they only need to be right one spirit we still see people getting through the system. people falling through the cracks. let me move ahead to what is going on in this country. in terms of the developed world, the united states, far and away leads every other nation in the developed world in terms of gun violence. the u.s. way out in front. the next closest patient is cyprus. just below .7 deaths per 100 people. what do you think is responsible for that discrepancy? >> first of all, you look at america, in the last couple of years you have seen this crazy defund the police movement. you've also seen a movement going on where the das are not even prosecuting criminals until
11:44 am
it is a shooting or violent crime and they are letting criminals back out on the streets. inevitably what ucr higher rates of crime. you are seeing more and more american citizens, law-abiding citizens are buying guns to defend themselves. it's happening in every demographic group you can imagine. because if they cannot have faith at their local police department that has been defunded can arrive quickly or if the da will let the criminal out there only other line of defense. people are buying guns to defend himself against crime. by the way, if you look at what happened in those cities, you see a lot of things with the defund police movement. letting people out, no cash they'll. look at the smash and grab crimes. do you think it will in there they think they can get away with the crime, they won't be charged, they can go on and commit worse. let's get back to regular
11:45 am
policing. >> let's take a look at where the public is on some of these policies regarding gun sales. do you support or oppose requiring background checks for all gun buyers? 89% say they supported. 74%, 21 oppose. you and other republicans have views about background checks and red flag laws. are the views that you and your colleagues hold out a step before the nation is? >> i can assure you the american public was not asked about components of the bills democrats are moving through congress to do those things. they take away due process. where they literally can come into your house and take away your gun without you even knowing there was some kind of proceeding where somebody said i think that guy might be a threat so someone can take away your constitutional right. i don't think people would agree with that.
11:46 am
john: congressman, if that would have happened in the case of the buffalo shooter, 10 people would be alive today. >> again, due process is a constitutional right. if you think it will solve a problem, again, i point to california. maybe somebody thought taking a gun away from a 19-year-old will solve a problem, it happens to be unconstitutional. you do have to follow the laws and the constitution. we are not focusing on the root cause of the problem. the immediate visceral reaction is to go after the rights of gun owners in america. the law-abiding citizens who are using guns to defend themselves. i point to west virginia just a few days ago. that shooter broke every law in the books. this guy has got a gun. he's going out to shoot a bunch of people. under current law doesn't even
11:47 am
have the right to have the gun yet he has the gun. thank god there was a woman with a gun and a constitutional carry permit where she knew how to use a gun and she took the shooter down. if we take away the rights of those people they will not be able to defend themselves from the people that don't care what the laws are. they were using bottles trying to blow up the school. they have a constitutional right to carry it. >> we will be watching closely the action in congress. >> great being with you. god bless. >> we are back with our sunday group to discuss the divide over meaningful gun reform. stay with us.

hm... i know how difficult these calls can be. not with schwab. nina made it easier to set up our financial plan. we can check in on it anytime. it changes when our goals change. planning can't be that easy. actually, it can be, carl. look forward to planning with schwab. schwab! ♪♪ like pulsing, electric shocks, sharp, stabbing pains, or an intense burning sensation. what is this nightmare? it's how some people describe... shingles. a painful, blistering rash that could interrupt your life for weeks. forget social events and weekend getaways. if you've had chickenpox, the virus that causes shingles is already inside of you. if you're 50 years or older ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingles. hi, my name is cherrie. i'm 76 and i live on the oregon coast. if you're 50 years or older ask your doctor my husband, sam, we've been married 53 years. we love to walk on the beach.

i have two daughters and then two granddaughters. i noticed that memories were not there like they were when i was much younger. since taking prevagen, my memory has gotten better and it's like the puzzle pieces have all been [click] put together. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. the choice for attorney general is clear. democrat rob bonta has a passion for justice and standing up for our rights. bonta is laser focused on protecting the right to vote and defending obamacare. but what's republican eric early's passion? early wants to bring trump-style investigations on election fraud to california, and early says he'll end obamacare and guard against the growing socialist communist threat. eric early. too extreme, too conservative

it will hamper the rights of law-abiding citizens and it will do nothing to stop mass shootings. >> nothing will stop gun violence in america? i agree. this deal will not alone save every life we lose to gun violence this year, but it will save some. >> how to prevent the next mass shooting after incidents in buffalo, uvalde and tulsa. we are back now with the panel. how to prevent the next mass shooting. your former boss mitch mcconnell trying to get something done. what is possible when you both side so deeply entrenched in their own philosophies. >> i think the congressman

pointed out, one reason why. every time there's a reaction to any kind of shooting a gun control realm rather than a larger school security, mental health issue which all need to be addressed. i think there is some reason for hope here in providing some solution because senator cornyn is at the center of this from a republican perspective. this is not something that will get done next week. this will take multiple weeks to talk through. this will not be a gun-control bill. this will be a school safety bill. this will be a larger broader legislative framework that hopefully brings people together in some form or fashion. he has had a track record of success on this. looking at a shooting at a church in texas. he led an information sharing network that helps with ground checks. brought 75-80 votes on the table that is a formula they are hoping to look for.

>> a congressman indicated he wants to take a steamroller approach to this. listen to what he said. >> if a filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. if the supreme court objects, we will expand it and we will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out of circulation in our communities. >> is it really the way to get bipartisan buy-in on trying to solve the problem? >> i think it's natural in the wake of these horrible tragedies to hear some of that rhetoric where people are angry and frustrated. it has not worked yet. congress has not done anything. i think it's natural you hear people reaching for options that a few years ago no one would have talked about. background checks, safe storage, raising the age where you can buy certain weapons that would've prevented some school shootings. not all, but 15 years ago a

terrorist tried to blow up a plane with his shoes and we all take our shoes off. if we could prevent one death or a plane full of people, that would be worth it from a prevention standpoint. we need to apply those same lessons. talking about fighting the war on terrorism. we took a number of measures to prevent possibilities of attacks that never even happened. if we can prevent some of them, not all, some in a holistic way, let's do it. >> we should point out you have done some work for a gun manufacturer outside of fox. you are also in nra member. immigrants are always pointing fingers at republicans. weed the democrats are the only one that want to solve the problems. republicans say you're just coming out the problem with the

wrong approach. >> it's a responsibility of all politicians to do things that are not just doing them to do them as we have heard calls for. doing things that are feasible and constitutional and policy positions that are based to actually solve the problem. the president calling for the assault weapons ban to be reinstated. he claims it will reduce crime. that is not true. it did not reduce crime or mass shootings. we know that 77% of mass shootings are carried out with handguns. if we want to talk about the mental health aspect, 77% of k-12 mass shooters were suicidal. that is where people can focus on locally and in congress to talk about why these things happen to these kids and why they are engaging in this type of violence. the other thing i would say is you have had a congressman democrat this week say i don't want to hear about your second

amendment. constitutional rights matter. even in the aftermath of a tragedy and horrific crime. that is not a starting place to do real compromise. john: one minute left ear. the president said he will be the great reunite her. >> i think that this white house has an opportunity to do something on gun control and gun reform. he goes to the beach for the weekend after not really being involved, but, you know, you can let joe biden be joe biden entry that like the infrastructure bill. the first lawmakers that came to the white house were senate republicans. they want to get some things done. john: when he did that he pulled the rug out from underneath the feet. maybe it was constructive, maybe it wasn't. great to see you. appreciated. see you all again soon.
