new policy however, i can walk into the store with a loaded .40 caliber and nobody says anything what a joke. overnight walmart released a statement reading in part, the behavior of a customer was concerning to thos inside the store, therefore, law enforcement was called they quickly arrived, managed the situation without further incident and no one was injured. this is the third gun-related incident at a walmart in just over a week including the incident in a walmart in el paso that left 22 dead. another incident on thursday in a walmart in florida, a man terrorizing shoppers with a gulf cart he drove into the store and slammed into a cash register in springfield, police are trying to determine why the heavily armed man was there in the first place and whether he had more sinister intentions. >> ron, missouri is an open carry state. if you have a permit, you can carry a gun openly is this potentially legal, what he did

week on race the former vice president accusing the president of being a racist who emboldens white supremacists by aligning himself with their cause but it is biden's bungling of his own remarks that's making headlines this morning after a long day and night at the iowa state fair, speaking to a group of predominantly asian and hispanic voters. >> we should challenge these students we should challenge students in the schools that have advanced placement programs in these schools. we have this notion that somehow if you're poor you cannot do it. poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids, wealthy kids, black kids, asian kids. i really mean it. think how we think about it. >> the trump campaign seizing on just the white kids comment. rapid response director andrew clark tweeting out a video clip that notably did not include the full remarks. writing, yikes. have fun mitigating that one. it comes after this confrontation between biden and a reporter from conservative outlet breitbart. biden fighting back after the reporter claimed, incorrectly,

biden had misquoted the president after charlottesville. >> he said specifically he was condemning them. >> no, he did not. he said he walked out and he said, let's get this straight, he said, there are very fine people in both groups. they're chanting anti-semitic slogans, carrying flags. >> reporter: the biden campaign responding that the president is, quote, desperate to change the subject from his record of using racism to divide the country, that biden misspoke and immediately corrected himself to make the point all children deserve a fair shot. >> andrea mitchell, thank you very much. after the mass shootings in ohio and texas, the push for gun control is gaining momentum with some key lawmakers. peter alexander is on that story this morning. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning to you. president trump speaking as we speak on the south lyawn as he prepares to depart the white house saying america needs what he calls intelligent background checks. that would defy a warning from the nra. the president said he has a great relationship with them. the question remains, what will

he do? nearlyneeek afr the mass shootings in el paso and dayton, there's growing pressure for stricter gun laws. the senate's top republican, mitch mcconnell, says expanded background checks will be front and center when congress returns from its summer break after labor day. he is resisting calls to bring lawmakers back immediately ts b vote on a pair of background check bills already passed by the house, now on his desk. >> if we did that, we'd just have people scoring points and nothing would happen what we can't do is fail to pass something, you know, by just locking up and failing to pass that's unacceptable. >> reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi is pressing president trump to step in, saying, mcconnell describing himself as grim reaper, has been an obstacle to taking any action. more than 200 mayors, including those in dayton and el paso, are echoing pelosi, writing to mcconnell and chuck schumer, our nation can no longer wait for

the federal government to act. the president's expressed a renewed willingness to expand background checks. >> there is a great appetite, and i mean a strong appetite, for background checks. >> reporter: the gun lobby is already pushing back nbc news confirmed the president spoke with the nra chief executive wayne la pierre this week according to a source familiar with the matter, la pierre said expanding background checks would not be popular among the president's supporters saying, the nra opposes any new restrictions on gun rights adding, the proposals being discussed by many would not have prevented the horrific tragedies in el paso and dayton. california democrat jackie speier survived a shooting as a young congressional aide more than four decades ago. now, she's underscoring the stakes for the country >> if we really have reached the tipping point, and i do believe that we have, when people are

fearful to go out, to go to festivals, to go to grocery stores, to theaters, for fear that someone is going to blow people up, we have a problem >> reporter: at his new interview, mitch mcconnell said when congress returns next month, expanded background checks and red flag laws that would empower law enforcement to take guns from those who pose an immediate threat, those would likely lead congress's discussions. >> another big story out of washington this morning, a key intelligence official has stepped down what more can you tell us? >> reporter: it is raising uncertainty over who will lead the u.s. intelligence operations sue gordon is her name she announced in a handwritten note to the president that she was stepping down as the principal deputy director of national intelligence. she will leave the same day as director dan coats she was viewed as a trusted voice by democrats and republicans. amid her resignation, the president announced he would name joseph mcguire, the current director of the national counterterrorism center, as the
