areregime in libya, then pushin for the overtloef the regime in syria, among other things without plans for the day after have created space for isis to expand and grow like nobody has ever seen before. these actions along with our disastrous iran daily have also reduced our ability to work in partnership with our muslim allies in the region. that is why our new goal must be to defeat islamic terrorism, not nation building. no more nation building. it's never going to work. and by the way, we've spent almost $5 trillion over the years on trying to nation build in the middle east. and it has been a complete and total disaster. we're further away now than we were 15 years ago. for instance, the last major nato mission was hillary clinton's war at libya.
12:01 pm
that mission helped unleash isis on a new continent. i've said nato needs to change its focus and stop terrorism. we have to focus on terrorism. and we have to stop terrorism. since i've raised that criticism and it's okay, i've gotten no credit for it, but it's okay, nato has announced a new initiative front page four days ago focused on just that. america must uniteized world in against islamic terrorism. [ applause ] pretty much like we did with communism during the cold war. we've tried it president obama's way. doesn't work. he gave the world his apology tour. we got isis. and many other problems in
12:02 pm
return. that's what we got. remember the famous apology tour. we're sorry for everything. i'd like to conclude my remarks today by again expressing our solidarity with the people of orlando who have come under this horrific attack. when i'm president, i pledge to protect and defend all americans who live inside our borders. wherever they come from, wherever they were born, i don't care. all americans living here and following our laws, not other laws, will be protected. [ applause ] thank you. thank you. we'll be tough and we're going to be smart and we're going to do it right. america will be a tolerant and open society. america will also be a safe
12:03 pm
society. we will protect our borders at home. we will defeat isis overseas. we have no choice. we will ensure every parent can raise their children in peace and safety. we will make america rich again. we will make america safe again. we will make america great again. thank you. thank you very much. thank you very much. [ applause ] donald trump speaking to a packed house in manchester, new hampshire. a forceful speech about the state of this country, a forceful speech about what he considers the source of terrorism and a lot of direct attacks on hillary clinton in that speech. let's go right now to katy tur who covers donald trump for us. she's been watching it all from new hampshire. one of the most striking lines was when he talked about keeping muslims out of this country.
12:04 pm
i don't have the direct quote, but he said something to the effect of they have positions on gay people, positions on women that he doesn't agree with and he wants them out of this country. >> reporter: yeah, and he went even further on his muslim ban saying the immigration raws give the power to suspend entry to the country of any class of persons the president deems detrimental to the interests or security of the u.s. i will use this power to protect the american people when i'm elected, i will suspend immigration from areas offed the world where there is a approach history of terrorism against the u.s. that goes beyond the muslim ban, just not saying that he will ban the entire rae lieligion of peo now saying that he will ban entire countries of people there coming into this country if he believes that they have ties to radical islam. so certainly as you said a forceful speech. there were a few errors in that speech. and we should point them out.
12:05 pm
number one, he said that the orlando suspect, the man accused of terrorism in orlando, was born in afghan. he was born in the united states in 1986 and he is a u.s. citizen. he also said that he basically forced hillary clinton to use the words radical islamic terror. that is not entirely true. this morning on the "today" show, she said she's happy to use those terms, but she doesn't think that they are suitable when talking about terrorism, all this talk and demagoguery and rhetoric won't solve the problem, i won't demonize and declare war on an entire religion, it plays in to isis' hands. so as understand, this case was extraordinarily forceful, much different from hillary clinton's speech. she did not name him once. she called for unity in the face of fear. harkened back to 9/11 the day after when politicians on both
12:06 pm
sides of the aisle came together and tried to rebuild and face the threat together. donald trump did not take that tact today in this speech and said talking about hillary clinton and president obama multiple times by name and accusing them of not doing enough to fight terror while promising that he would be the one to stop it. >> katy -- i'm not sure my mike is open. katy tur -- okay. sorry. i keep saying your name. thanks so much. appreciate it. let's go to ari melbourne back in new york. talk it me about the rules of immigration as they stand now. the laws regarding immigration now.it me about the rules of immigration as they stand now. the laws regarding immigration now. >> the most striking thing, donald trump has obviously spoken a lot about his ideas about immigration, perceived risks that he sees focused on the religion of islam. what he did today though was something a little more precise. he was basically quoting federal law directly. immigration law already provides the president a lot of authority. we'll put it right up on the
12:07 pm
screen. this is fresh from donald trump's speech. but this is the federal law he was citing. it grants -- i don't think we have it. it grants the president the power to success bends any clsp aliens if the president finds their entry would be detrimental to the united states. so what we're seeing i think is interesting in that it's a little different than what was some of the very broad political rhetoric we heard about religion. he is now in this general election framework in response to this horrific mass murder yesterday trying to say, well, actually under federal immigration law, key have this power. what is the catch here? well, the catch is that while, yes, federal law says the president can make that determination about who is detrime detrimental, that does not mean it is a blank check. and we spoke to a lot of constitutional experts, prosecutors and others who basically said that if you tried do a strict religious ban, that
12:08 pm
might possibly be struck down by the supreme court. but again, the takeaway i think big picture on law and policy is we just had a domestic homegrown attack by an american citizen. and donald trump gave a speech largely about immigration, his immigration powers as if it were a foreign assault. katy tur also fact checked the reference seem to go imply that this person was from somewhere else when they're from america. this person was from somewhere else when they're from america. so he wants to focus on the threat regardless of the details of any individual attack. it is true that federal law provides the president a lot of that authority. what he has outlined today would seem to stretch that to potentially its very limit. >> all right. ari melbourne following that for us. let me go over to another colleague watching this trump speech. and taking notes and really we wanted to get down into the weeds of what he said and fact check what donald trump just said to us.
12:09 pm
so let's turn to intelligence and national security reporter for the nbc news investigative unit. ken, you've been scribbling notes. i want to play one of the first sound bites that we have, this is donald trump talking about immigration background checks. p it take a listen. >> we're importing radical islamic terrorism into the west through a failed immigration system. and through an intelligence community held back by our president. even our own fbi director has admitted that we cannot effectively check the backgrounds of people we're letting into america. >> ken, fact check that for us. >> there is a grain of truth to that. james comey has said that it will be difficult for the fbi and other agencies to vet the backgrounds of for example syrian refugees who are coming from a war-torn country where the records aren't really available. they can only check what is in
12:10 pm
hair databa their databases. but the larger picture, of the tens of thousands who come into the u.s., most are decent people and american muslim groups have lined up to condemn this attack. >> and i think we have a second clip available that we can play, about intelligence gathering. take a listen. >> the obama administration with the support of hillary clinton and others has also damaged our security by restraining our intelligence gathering. we have just no intelligence gathering information. we need this information so badly. and he stopped it. we don't have the support. we don't have the support of the law enforcement system because obama is not letting them do their job. >> how accurate is that, ken? >> it's hard to be sure exactly what he's talking about there,
12:11 pm
but the u.s. under obama spends $80 billion a year gathering in telling against. and under obama, the cia and other organizations have ramped up drone strikes against terrorists to a degree never before seen. and they use intelligence to get osama bin laden and other -- there have been very high risk high speed intelligence operations under president obama. there is a lot of intelligence gathering going on. never as much as anyone would like and there have been challenges in iraq and syria particularly about putting americans on the ground. but there are satellites, drone, technology. in fact the whole tenor of the snowden revelations is that there is too much intelligence gathering. so not really sure what trump is saying there. >> all right. ken, back in washington, d.c., thanks so much. appreciate the fact check there. let's move over to kasie hunt. she was at hillary clinton's speech earlier today in cleveland, ohio. and the difference maybe one of
12:12 pm
the key differences, that we really didn't hear hillary clinton use donald trump's name. she was not explicit in any criticism of her rival where he really was. >> she didn't use his name at all. and that was very deliberate on the part of the clinton campaign. her spokesperson tweeting that sher speech was an appeal to patrioti patriotism, not partisanship. and everything we've seen from the clinton campaign underscores that. from the background behind me, no one in the crowd was holding signs, to the way that she addressed the crowd here today. and what was supposed to have been a political economic speech and of course turned very abruptly to focus on the terrible events in orlando on very short notice. now, one thing that really stuck out to me in her speech was how she talked about september 11th and how presidents in many cases rise above events to work with people on either side of the
12:13 pm
aisle. take a look. >> i remember how it felt on the day after 9/11. and i bet many of you do, as well. president bush went to a muslim community center just six days after the attacks to send a message of unity and solidarity to anyone who wanted to take out their anger on our muslim neighbors and fellow citizens, he said, that should not and that will not stand in america. it is time to get back to the spirit of those days, the spirit of 9/12. >> reporter: pretty sharp contrast there to what donald trump had to say this both tone and substance of course with what he talked about limiting immigration from muslim countries. now, we shouldn't say that her speech was entirely apolitical. she did call for the assault weapons b s ban in the weak of
12:14 pm
tragedy. gun control has been a very contentious issue in the wake of many of these tragedies. >> okay. we'll move away from politics when we come back, the very latest from here in orlando on the investigation. >> i know it's an act of hire rowism some of you are saying. i just did what i had to do in the time and i've been trying to keep it together. and i think i'm finally at my breaking point. so i just wanted to let you all know that i love you very much and thank you for the support. and i'm just going to go offlean for a few hours so i can rest and get some shut-eye. why do so many businesses rely on the us postal service? because when they ship with us, their business becomes our business. that's why we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country.

welcome back. i'm kate snow here in orlando. 49 families are getting g grim s to questions they never thought they would have to ask. my sin lichild, my friend, are alive. authorities are slowly releasing the names of those who died. the orlando health system says 29 people are still in that hospital, five are in grave condition. in a few minutes for the first time we'll be hearing from six of the trauma doctors at that hospital. also just in in the past few hours, new information on the gunman himself, omar thh mateen some coming from his open father. investigators he telling nbc news that it is possible the gunman may have travelled to disney world to plan a potential the attack there. he did travel to saudi arabia twice, both times part of a muslim pilgrimage to that
12:19 pm
country. the fbi director confirming just a short time ago they did investigate him in 2013 for ten months, they had him under surveillance. they interviewed him. also today we've heard from the white house, from both presidential nominees. let's begin here with all the latest we know with gabe guttierez, he's been on site here all day. we mentioned some of the highlights from today. we learned a lot more from the fbi director about this sdwgunm from his father. >> and we learned about the time line when authorities were on scene and there was all that confusion and questions about why exactly it took police those three hours to wait while the suspect was inside barricaded inside. today we learned from local authorities as well as the fbi director that this was believed to be at some point they thought it shifted from an active shooter situation to a hostage situation because the fbi director said suspect called --
12:20 pm
or had conversations with dispatchers, made three calls. the first time he called and hug up, second time he called and spoke with a dispatcher briefly. and then hundred up. the deposit patcher called hill back. and authorities say during those calls, he pledged allegiance to isis and supported the boston marathon bombers as well as a florida man who had gone to syria to become a suicide bomber. and authorities were able to get into the building once they made that decision, once the police chief made the decision to have his s.w.a.t. team go in, they then managed to using armored vehicle to get inside the building. their first attempt in worked, so then they busted a hole in the side of the building and that's when some of the people inside managed to trickle out as well as the gunman and that's when authorities took him down. >> and we lettered -- you mentioned these various allegiances, the various times that he said i support causes.
12:21 pm
and it's not all the same cause. >> and it's not really clear at this point and that is part of the investigation. the indication is and the fooik fbi director said that there are indications of radicalism, but it doesn't appear that he was influenced by isis from the outside, he was not apparently directed by isis at least that is what the investigation is showing so far. but they're going into his computers, his electronic trail to see exactly how he might have been radical sizized perhaps on. so definitely not a clear picture at this point. >> gabe guttierez, thanks so much. let's turn to the latest on the investigation. pete williams is in washington, d.c. he's been following all the latest on their investigation. pete, you were with the fbi director earlier. we were just talking about it. so one of the other things that was striking about that news conference was director comey talking about the fact that they had investigated this man in the past. >> yes, the fbi investigated him for about ten months starting in the early 2013 through early
12:22 pm
2014 after he told some colleagues where he was working as a security guard at a local courthouse that he had relatives in al qaeda, that he knew people who were friends of the boston marathon bombers, and that he also had friends in other terrorist groups. the fbi said it launched full investigation, it involved putting him under surveillance, monitoring his communications. interviewed him twice. and they ultimately concluded that there were nothing to the statement and the investigation was closed. now, during the time he was under investigation, he was on a terrorism watch list. if he had tried to buy a gun then during the time he was under investigation, the terrorism investigators would have been notified of that. they would have been told, hey, the guy you're investigating is trying to buy a weapon. once the investigation was closed and he was taken off the terror watch list, there was no mechanism then for when he bought the guns in early june for telling the people who would
12:23 pm
had investigated him, hey, the guy you were once investigating is going it buy guns. we asked the justice department officials today whether they thought that system should be changed. they said it hasn't been discussed, but they would probably take a look at whether that system should be changed as a result of the orlando shooting. >> and pete, i think we have some of the sound there earlier from director comey. this is when he was speaking about the radicalization of this man. let's listen. >> we're working hard to understand the killer and his motives and his sources offen conspiracy race. but we are highly confident that this killer was radicalized and at least in some part through the internet. >> pete, what do we know about his family? i know he was married for a second time apparently, has a young child. i assume fbi would be investigating them, as well. >> yes. absolutely. let me come back to that and just tail end of what comey end
12:24 pm
about the radicalization issue. one of the puzzles for the fbi is what was he radicalized about and by whom. he claimed to be interested in isis, al nusra, hezbollah, al qaeda, many of these are actually enemies and have competing ideologies. so in terms of trying to say what his -- if he was radicalized and in what way, the fbi is finding it hard to figure that out. he seemed to be all over the map on that. but yes, in terms of his relatives, investigation dwaorso they whether his wife, father, others had any inkling of what he was planning do and failed to speak up. so that is something that they are very closely investigating. they made the point that this is exactly the same thing they did after the attacks in san bernardino last december when they wanted to know if the mother of syed farook had any foreknowledge of what they were planning given that they were stockpiling explosives in the house and of course as you know
12:25 pm
no charges were ever filed against the mother there. >> all right. pete williams in washington. we'll take a quick break. i believe we may have a picture coming in of a store that is -- apparently that's the exterior of the store where we believe the guns were purchased. we'll have more after a quick break. we'll also talk to orlando's city commissioner about how the community is coping with the devastating tragedy. stay with us. fastidious librarin emily skinner, each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way, emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187.

to so much in terms of if anybody needs help, if be need a fund raiser for an organization, they're the first ones to step up. that is why this is so tragic because this is -- we've had political events here, get out the vote drives in the gay community here. they're just very wonderful people. very supportive and our hearts are breaking for them because this is their business. >> this is the largest crime scene i think you've had to deal with in orlando. >> it is. >> what is the priority wearing your city commissioner hat? >> a lot of organizations want to come in and have vigils. they're having one tonight. i don't agree with that because they're taking resources away from this crime scene. >> because the police then have to go and monitor that crowd. >> yes. there was a small vigil last night and they to take motors away from this scene. i think it's selfish of people do this. >> but people aren't seeing it that way. they want to support. >> i hate to say it, but there are a lot of organizations wanting for make it about them rather than make it about the
12:31 pm
victims. happens even in my community. >> have you been listening to any of the political it is course today is th? i know you're busy. hillary clinton and donald trump both spoke p. >> i almost got into with within of my state colleagues earlier because she said this is not tame to talk about guns. if this isn't the tyime, i don' know what is. assault rifles are not necessary for everyone. they're designed for the political taker and police and designed to kill as many people as poll. it is not a hunting gun, not a gun that needs to be in our streets. so again, so much casualties is because this was an assault rifle. >> and when donald trump says there are thousands and thousands of assault rifles out there, there is nothing we can to about that, that's not where our focus should be -- >> that is absurd. if this had been a clip that someone had to reload, these casualties would have been much less and police would have been able to keep the casualties down even more. the fact that he had an assault
12:32 pm
rifle, our first responders carry assault rifles in their cars. but not when they're working off duty. so this officer didn't have it handy. so it was not assault rifle versus assault rifle situation. >> donald trump also again and again talked about borders and recommendations on people coming into this country. >> i think hating muslims is just as bhad ad as hating gay people. hatred is not the answer. creating the division between people is not the answer. i think what we need do is figure out a way to reach these young men for the most partdo ie out a way to reach these young men for the most part some woman, one woman i think has been a terrorist, that, you know are, so disenfranchised from their community and so far removed, find a way to bring them back into caring and feeling compassion for others. rather than feeling this hate fred. i don't know how to do this, but that should be our focus, not hatred towards a certain group of people. i belong to a certain group of people. i do not believe hatred is the answer. i believe love is the answer and
12:33 pm

night club behind me here in orlando as the terror unfolded there on saturday night. cal perry joining me with more. we have new video from inside the club. i think just before the shooting starts, right? >> yes. terrifying video. first let's take a look at the club. this is an aerial view obvious live the club. we know the shooter just about 2:00 a.m. entered right here, went to the center of club and started opening fire. that's where we have the dramatic video. this is snapchat video from amanda alvear. and what is important is the audio at the end. take a listen. >> i'm at the club. ♪ [ gunshots ] >> you hear there the terrifying gunfire going off. amanda, 25-year-old nursing student died in the horrific
12:38 pm
attack. let's just go through this. a variety of text messages went out to family members as people were huddled in the bathroom. it gives us a look. you're looking at the inside of the club. this is the playos is the play . bath rooms are here. the shooter entered this entrance.lay out. bath rooms are here. the shooter entered this entrance. there is one way in and out. a secondary exit here was a lot of times in being a he isable. so the shooter came in here and first opened fire in the center of the club forcing people to scatter in two different directions. after that he circled back outside where he engaged with police on the street and then he himself was forced in into these bathrooms. that's where a lot of the text messages were sent from. this row of bhaathrooms right here. police breached the wall here and that allowed the patrons to come crawling out and that's when they killed the gunman at about 5:00 in the morning. >> cal perry, thanks so much.
12:39 pm
joining me by phone, mayor why perez who was at pulse. how are you? >> hanging in there. this is a very terrifying experience that i went through, you know. never expected to go to a club are we're supposed to be free and enjoy ourselves and, you know, gunman come inside and just shoot everybody out of nowhere. >> can you walk me through what happened on saturday night for you, mario, what was happening, where were you? >> basically i mean i was with all my friends and, you know, we were in a pretty like nice group, amount of people. and we ended up splitting up and i ended up by the actual bathroom inside the main room of the club. and i was dancing and all of a sudden this is around 2:00 in
12:40 pm
the morning and my back was facing the main entrance of the club. and all i hear was pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. and the beginning of the shots, one of the shots grazed the side of my body and i fell to the floor. and all i could just see is people screaming and hollering and i'm just on the floor holding my head, hoping i don't get shot again. and, you know, i don't even remember who was next to me. everything was happening so fast. and when the gunman was i guess changing his bullets, because the gunshots stopped for a second and i can actually seat exit to the patio of the club that was open to lead to the street. and i got up and ran outside holding my side and i took off to the 7-eleven that was across the street. >> you were grazed by a bullet on the side of your body, is that right? >> that's correct. >> and are you all right? did you have to go to the
12:41 pm
hospital? >> yes, they did take me to the hospital. very minor injuries. i'm grateful to be alive. i'm just very sad to have lost, you know, two of my good friends, amanda and mercedes that were still inside the club. >> what can you tell me about that? >> i mean, amazing people. sense since i first met them, they have been very close to me. they're such good spirited people to be around. amazing people. and it's just sad to see them go just like this, like so horrific. it's horrible. >> it's heartbreaking for all of us and i can only imagine being close friends with them and suffering that loss. >> exactly. and also my friend brian right now, he's in the hospital, you know. he's in stable condition and we're praying for him to recover fast. >> mario perez, there are a lot
12:42 pm
of prayers coming your way from all over the country. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you very much. >> be well. and we will be right back. still waiting for that press conference potentially out of the gun shop south of here in port st. lucie. we believe that is the gun store where the gunman bought his weapons that he used on saturday night. stay with us. ing that you are working with humana and your doctor to maintain your health. because in 5 days, 10 hours and 2 minutes you are going to be 67. and on that day you will walk into a room where 15 people will be waiting... 12 behind the sofa, 2 behind the table and 1 and a half behind a curtain. family: surprise! but only one of them will make a life long dream come true. great things are ahead of you when your health is ready for them. at humana, we can help you with a personalized plan for your health for years to come. they keep telling me "drink more water."

(vo) linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation, or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.

so we said if you need safelite to come to the zoo we'll come to the zoo! only safelite can fix your windshield anywhere in the us. with our exclusive mobileglassshops. and our one of a kind trueseal technology, for a reliable bond. service that fits your schedule. that's another safelite advantage. ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ you're looking at a live picture that we have coming into nbc, that is a gun store in port st. lucie, that which is about an hour south of orlando. we've gotten word that we believe that this is the gun store where the gunman on saturday night bought his weapons or at least some of the weapons. he do know from fbi and police that he carried an ar-15 rifle, that he also had a handgun.
12:46 pm
and earlier today we learned from local authorities that he had a third gun that they found in his vehicle. not much information about that third weapon coming out just yet. but what we expect is that there will be a news conference where someone will come out of that door and talk with us a bit more about the purchase of those firearms from what we understand to, the fire arms were purchased legally by the gunman. he did not have any flags in his background that would have stopped a background check. let me turn now to kerry sanders, he's in ft. pierce where omar thh mateen was raise. what more can you tell us? we've learned a lot. i know you've spoken to his father a couple of times. >> reporter: let's first talk about the way that he interacted with those that he lived relatively close with. right here in this condominium complex. people would each other coming and going, but the neighbors tell us that when they would see
12:47 pm
him and say hello to him, they were surprised that he very rarely responded. they said he was a cold, quiet person who always seemed to have a very stern look on his face. now, the residents that i spoke to here who thousand have put all of the pieces together thinking about what this man did, understanding that they saw him on a regular basis,thousandl of the pieces together thinking about what this man did, understanding that they saw him on a regular basis, they are still at a loss that there was a monster living amongst them. >> nobody wants their neighbor to be somebody like that. every family's worst nightmare is to live next to a monster next door and that's what we had and had no idea. >> no idea. no idea. there was no tell tale signs and we to kind of keep to ourselves in this building. we're not knock on each other's doors for a cup of sugar or anything really. so, yeah, just to know that
12:48 pm
someone can live amongst you like that is really scary. >> reporter: and of course that raises the question. so many people are asking whether there was a tell tale sign, could somebody perhaps have stepped in. clearly the neighbors say even though somebody seemed a little unfriendly, they certainly did not see something that would tell them that omar would actually do something like this, that the gunman would actually go into a night club with weapons, only 120 miles from here. at the same time, the question is, what about those closer to omar mateen. those like his parents. we had a chance over the days to speak to his father. interestingly, his father tells me that he believes that he is the president of the provisional government of afghanistan. he says that in 2013, the taliban tried to kill him. but then at the same time,
12:49 pm
online, he has posted in his native language some compliment taker inclusive language with the taliban. which raises the question of whether he is sayingcomplimentt language with the taliban. which raises the question of whether he is saying one thing right now when he condemns extreme radical islamic behavior and then at the same time seems to embrace the taliban when they also fall into that same category. i had a chance to talk to him and ask him about omar mateen's wife and child. and this is what he had to say. >> the child, his wife, she cannot talk even. she's very sad. he is only 3 1/2. >> reporter: so the question now among the family, among those who knew him, the neighbors, was there a clue, did somebody miss something. as we know, the fbi twice followed up but never found anything that they felt was conclusive.
12:50 pm

12:53 pm
back with you in orlando, florida. this is a shot from port st. lucie, florida, a gunshot where we believe the gunman purchased the weapons that he used in the mass attack here at a gay nightclub in orlando. we've been waiting to see if the gun store owner would come out and talk to reporters and take some questions. it is not clear to me if that's him. or we're still waiting. anyone in new york know?
12:54 pm
all right. as we wait for some charity on what we're looking at in port st. lucie, let's turn to another angle of the story. a nation in mourning. for the lgbt community and allies around the nation, attacks like this one are bringing back painful memories at a time when violence against gun people was unfortunately much more common. >> and what's interesting is how much people are rallying together. i was checking. there is a website that is called we are orlando. on that website they're asking people who will be holding vigils to post it. there are more than 100 vigils around the country scheduled just for tonight with many more coming this week. june is gay pride month so a number of celebrations were already underway this weekend when this horrible news came down from orlando.
12:55 pm
across the country, people have been getting together to try and be together and sort out everything that has happened here. one of the places many people went, this stone wall inn in new york. that is the birth of the gay rights movement in 1969 where the riots were held in response to police raids and it has become a place where people gather when there is any sort of milestone. good or bad for the dpa community. we know in washington, d.c., the gay men's chorus sang the national anthem yesterday. there is a moment of silence in boston at the gay pride events there. and pots was hit a few years ago with the bombing at the boston marathon. we know that there will be more gay pride events taking place in the next two weeks. at least eight major cities are having them this coming weekend. then there is new york. new york will be having its festivity that's a week from now, going over the last weekend of june. we know none of those
