7:35 am
something like this happens in your city and at the end of the day, you're charged with -- both of us have spent the better part of the last two decades of our lives training and preparing and taking care of everyone who comes to our doors, no matter what, race color, creed, it doesn't matter. certainly when you work at a place like parkland where we really do what we do there, we take care of everybody, to be safe for something like this is truly horrific. >> when you're in the operating room -- >> for us again, and part of what we do here and it's been one of the reasons i wanted to come and talk to you this morning, is we really feel like we have something to contribute to the conversation. and there's been a lot of talk about race. and there's been a lot of talk about how different we are. police civilians, black, white. i think brian and i are great
7:36 am
examples. we could not be any closer friends, brothers colleagues. and so when you step to the operating table, gayle, there's no -- and you look down at someone who's hurt and injured, we all believe the same. there's no difference. we're all people on the inside. and i think that's a belief and important message to get out that we've got to stop this. we cannot continue this cycle of violence and gun violence and protests against police. at the end of the day, those people all look the same on the inside. >> brian, many people are touched with you yesterday, because you said that this is personal and it's complicated for you. what is happening in your city today. tell us about that. >> well first, i want to apologize for earlier -- >> no, you shouldn't apologize for that. i think it's been such a strong and powerful message about how many people are feeling. don't apologize for your feelings, go ahead.
7:37 am
>> sure. >> go ahead. >> it's certainly for me because i understand how black men feel with their encounters with police officers. but many police officers are my friends and colleagues so i'm straddling both worlds respect police officers i respect the job they do. every day they go out and put their lives on the line for us. they're certainly overworked. underpaid and unrecognized. and i certainly think that that should be addressed. but i also do not want the fact that black men are dying in the hands of police to be ignored, overlooked and dismissed. this is not blaming anyone. this is not taking sides. it's about acknowledging that it is happening, it does exist. and we need to talk about this
7:38 am
to make a change. >> and the two of you are longtime friends. i heard you say you go on vacations together your wives are friends and yet, even the two of you are having difficult conversations or conversations you've never had before. >> i think gayle, when you come from a different perspective, it helps us that we come to that with a strong base and foundation. that we love each other. >> yeah, i know that. >> we would do anything for each other. and that's not hyperbole at all. and we have done things for each other. so we come at the conversation from that base and so to begin there, it's just a starting point. that's why i hope that across america, people will realize that there's a lot more than we have in common than we don't. and it's really important, i think as we move forward with this conversation. >> and what do you hope brian, that we will all get out of this? >> in previous discussions
7:39 am
regarding law enforcement, it remained pretty superficial, there's a lot of joking back and forth. certainly, now, we've become much more serious. >> okay. thank you very much for joining us this morning. both of you. norah, charlie, back to you in the studio. >> gayle, wonderful interview. >> that about sums up the nation's dilemma. and i assume that's what president obama will speak to today. and former president bush as well. >> yeah. they were there. dr. williams was in charge of the operating room when they brought in the police officers. i think the reason that he choked up there with gayle is because, he talked about yesterday, had was unable to save many of their lives. they were too badly wounded there on the front lines. but he's also speak beyond the role of the surgeon. he said he's straddling that role. he said, too, yesterday, as a surgeon and a black man, when he sees a police officer, he tries

8:03 am
were in that demonstration. and they talked about they didn't feel that the president sufficiently spoke to their concerns. and his language wasn't supportive enough. and he went through a list of all that he had said. i think some of which they hadn't heard or it hadn't broken through. but it ended up the following way. we're putting together agenda i'm going to meet with them regularly, going to bring in the community as well and begin to work our way through this in a way where the communities and the police departments start to talk to one another again. a lot to do now, but do it in a way when we used to when we funded community policing so people know one another. >> you know what's interesting, charlie, because the vice president invited some of these police unions and associations who've been critical of the president. and then the president made an unexpected visit inside that meeting and sort of challenged them and asked what more we can
8:04 am
do beginning this sort of dialogue. >> helpful discussion. >> helpful discussion, yes. the vice president in fact said he was proud of the discussion that took place. it was productive. and more than 1,000 people gathered at dallas city hall last night for a candle light service to remember the five fallen officers. many shared memories at the emotional tribute. gayle king is at dallas police headquarters. gayle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, charlie. it's five days later and people here say they're still numb. but they also say we will get through this. the days after the shooting dallas and the nation are now working to move forward and improve relationships between police and the communities that they serve. dallas police chief david brown's advice for young black men is to become part of the solution. and yesterday he shared his own reasons for joining the force. >> i got a full ride scholarship to u.t. austin. and this was 1979. come back home for the summers. around '80, '81, '82, that

8:06 am
rock star he is. one of the two civilian victims is opening up about her experiences and what happened to her that evening. also singing the chief's praises. she was shot in the leg and then rushed to shield her teenage son from the gunfire. i spoke to her and her four sons and husband about that horrible moment that night and where they go from here. what did that feel like being shot? what did that feel like? >> i want to say like someone just jabbed you with a needle. it's a real sharp sting. >> but you knew it was a bullet wound? >> oh, yeah. because it was hot. >> caused you to fall? >> i didn't fall but i kind of buckled. and i was like oh my gosh i got hit. and i'm kind of limping. and that's when andrew turns around and he's looking to see where i am and starts to grab at me. and i'm already shot so i grab him. >> at that point you're worried now about protecting andrew. >> absolutely. >> so i turned around i look for my mom, and as i look for my
8:07 am
mom, she simultaneously grabs me and basically tackles me into a curb and a car and lays right on top of me. all that was exposed was my head. >> you said you were scared you just did what? >> i basically sat there and held my breath. i didn't know what was going on. i was shocked. i never would have thought something like this would have ever happened to me my mom and my brothers. >> it felt like a couple minutes. it could have been less. just a barrage of police officers came up and one of them asked me is anybody hit. i was saying yes, but in a real low tone and shaking my head. >> because you didn't want andrew to know. >> i did not want my son to know i was shot. >> and then was that the officer who you saw get shot? >> the one that i saw was actually against the wall. i saw him get shot. >> right in front of you? >> yes, ma'am. >> and when you saw that what did you think? >> i'm just praying. i did not stop praying. >> that night the police put
8:08 am
themselves in harm's way. >> yes, they did. >> and saved you? >> yes, they did. absolutely. and i am forever indebted to them. there was no color there. there was safety. there was action. and i can't thank them enough. >> what was your expectation in going to the protest? >> i wanted my kids to see maybe experience something to what their grandparents had experienced at one point in time marching for the rights. >> marching works. >> yes, that it can work. i hear people say what does marching do? well, they did a lot. why can't they do it again? >> when your wife said i'm going and i'm taking our sons you were fine? >> i had no problem with it. i appreciated her for doing it. >> why did you appreciate her doing it? >> just to show our sons that we can get unified. >> why did you want to go? >> i wanted to go to actually be
8:09 am
in the movement the movement. i wanted to march, i wanted to be able to make history. and tell my kids oh well when this was going down and this happened, i was there. >> your mom tells me that you want to be a police officer? >> yes, ma'am. >> you sure? >> yes, ma'am. >> why? >> because i just want to try to make this world a better place. and hopefully as i get older the world will change. it will be a safer environment for black people and even all races truthfully. >> what do you hope andrew, that we all learn from this? >> truly i hope that everyone learns that two wrongs don't make a right. >> it's a conversation. and people have to have those conversations. it's hard conversations, like my mom said i have a large amount of white friends. and it's really authentically hard to have those conversations. >> with your friends? >> with your friends. even with your friends let alone have them with strangers. people now is

8:19 am
for us. a short-term need like 15-minute rental and car hailing meets their needs and if the zip car meets their need that's great. if they need it for multiple days, the rental car will meet their needs. i think you'll find all of these consumers with the solution and that's good for our company. >> we've seen enterprise have this relationship with uber. does avis budget have to do something similar to stay relevant? >> yeah. no, they're supplying vehicles. and in fact it's actually on a very small basis when you take a look at the size of our fleet. but we're always looking at opportunities to do some more types of things. there's so many different mobility options coming out there with technology. there's new innovations coming out like our avis now app, it's going to change over the next few years. >> i'm always asked, do i want collision coverage? >> i know you're hopefully thinking i don't need collision coverage. maybe i should get it.
8:20 am
>> i exactly, right. should i? >> well i think you have to -- >> that's a big moneymaker for you. >> well every customer needs to take a look at their own situation. you need to take a look at whether you have insurance on your car that works on a rental. and if the car that you're renting works on that you may want to make sure you're protected. >> larry, we're avis customers in our family. we have royalty, like everybody does to different companies but this past company, we did not use avis we used uber instead because of the length of the trip and we costed it out. are services liking hurting the bottom line? >> our customers rent cars for four days and drive 450 miles. that's a very different use case versus car hailing. the types of transactions that we have that are under 50 miles or one-day rentals are so small on our transactions.

it doesn't impact us so much. >> do you rent ferraris? >> we have maseratis, we have jag jag jaguars. very nice cars. [ park rides, music and crowd sounds ] oooh!

8:44 am
>> as a mom of three i think about this movie and a father of six with no technology, for some that's the worst nightmare because we need that to be ibabysitter as we call it? >> yeah it's a movie story. it's realistically done but it's an extreme case of conscious parenting, i guess. but what i do think is great, he's not the kind of father who said no because i said so. he's the kind of dad that says i don't think so, but let me explain. it takes more time and energy. >> one of the important things you said he brought boundaries around what is good and what is bad. he'll have a conversation with them, but they know what the rules are. >> yeah they do but you can't help but remember how hard you try, how involved you are as a parent, you're going to make mistakes. the thing i really liked when i read the script was that as a story, it's very -- it's a very well-made family drama.
8:45 am
it's movie. it's funny. it's thought-provoking. i also felt as i was reading even more now with what's going on in the country, that it touches on the roots of social discord and polarization of society. because it's a movie story that's basically the importance of self-reflection and willing to make adjustments which you see happening in the story. honest communication and finding an imbalance with people who think differently than you do. it's not a movie that's ideological. it's not political. it's not some left wing you know, off-the-grid fantasy at all. as it turns out as the movies goes along. it's something else. it's admitted and the father himself, he admits that he's gone too far sometimes in his methods. he loves them. he's committed. he's completely engaged as a parent. but you can also say he's a little bit crazy at times. >> does he project your views as a father? >> yeah.

in large part, i think the importance of real honest communication. even at a young age, kids are really smart. and they can understand a lot. >> and they also know the things about which he says about our kids? >> it's better to be honest you know. as radical as the family seems, the foundation of the family model is complete honesty, confidence curiosity and open discourse. sometimes, it's brutal. i can't believe i said that to a 7-year-old. talking about sex and death. it's very funny sometimes. >> and this is all part of this film, too. box the mother is dying. >> yeah. >> the other interesting thing about preparing for this movie is, there was this grueling two-week rehearsal, right? >> yeah. >> how did that go? >> well, it was great. it was like a boot camp. everybody came prepared anyway. when i read the script i thought, this is great but to be

a good movie, we have to find six genius olympic children. which the director did. but the boot camp was great. not just showing on screen the bonding, doing rock climbing together. martial arts animals, fires. >> a bit of revenant? >> yeah maybe. no special effects. serious climbing, martial arts. the isskills that the kids showed. but more than that, we saw that in the clip the kids have to convince you even if they're 7 years old that they can handle that language. that they really know what they're talking about. complicated idea philosophy, you're just stunned because a little kid can master that kind of conversation. >> your director and the writer matt ross said that he designed -- he made the movie

based on the father he would like to be. >> yeah i suppose it's aspirational in that sense. luke at it as i say, it can be intimidating, you're watching and in a way, it's one of those stories that make you feel like everything you're doing is wrong as a parent. or you think, boy, i wish my father had been like that. at times. at times, you think this is the greatest father in the world. other times, you think he's the worst. a menace to society. i think that matt proposed to himself an idea as a father what if i gave 100% of my time. literally, every second of my time and aenergy toenergy to my kid which is is kind of impossible. >> great to have you here. "captain fantastic" is in theaters right now.
