on that note, that is our broadcast on a wednesday night. thank you so much for being here s headquarters in new york. >> on january 20, 2017, in his inaugural address, donald trump painted a dark, bleak picture of our country in crisis when he declared and i quote, this american carnage stops right here. itight stops right now. but as a sitting president, si trump's anger, hate and divisiveness pitting americans against each other, preying on our divisions and doing nothingo about theth epidemic of guns is

fuelling a literal carnage in america. >> that was former vice president joe biden saying he has aligned himself with quote darkest forces in this nation. >> the president supposed to be consoling+++úeyim when visiting the scene of mas >> and the owner of the miami dolphins hosts a backlash. a growing number of activists are calling for a boycott. good morning, thursday august 8. i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside ayman mohyeldin. in a trip meant to console americans, president trump focusedic on his own feelings o victim hood with twitter out bursts that span the day

attacking joe biden, the president, senator sherrod brown, democrats and cable news anchors, the president was focused onde controlling the appearance ofng his visits releasing videos of meetings with medical staff and victims and first responders. he continued to lash out at even mild criticism with more personal attacks. >> president trump said you today was about unity, you have touched on several like joe biden, senator brown and others of the media. >> they shouldn't be politicking today, i had it with sherrod brown, he and the mayor. they asked could we go in. i said let's do it. i took them in. wehe make the tour. they couldn't believe it. he said it to people.

i get on u.s. one where there are a lot of televisions. they say, i don't know if it was appropriate. et cetera, et cetera. a dishonest line. that's probably why 0% he failed as the presidential candidate. >> and speaking to reporters after their hospital visit with the president. both said they pressed for action onss gun reform and said the president was well received despite any differences. >> both the mayor and i asked the president to call on senator mcconnell to bring the senate back in session this week, to tell the senate that he wants the background checks bill that already passed the house that he wants it on the floor. i asked the president to promise to me and the american people and he will sign that bill after he had spoken out in support of it with senator mcconnell.

he only said that we will get things done. >> i think he heard me. i don't know if he will take action. i'm hoping for the people of dayton that he does. both the senator and i spoke very directly what we've been saying the whole time about the need for common sense begun legislation. >> he was received well as the patients as you'd expense. he was comforting. he did the right things and melania did the right thing. the people at the hospital were respectful of the office. a number said to me they are not great admirers but clearly showed respect for the office. >> i think the victims and first responders were grateful the president of the united states cameid dayton. >> shortly after, trump tweeted about the tremendous enthusiasm and love and quote, then i saw presidential candidate zero

percent totally misrepresenting whato happened in the hospital. senator brown who chose not to run in 2020 asked president trump claim, put out a statement, i've said before donald trump is a bully and bullies are cowards. mayor whaley reacted this way when shown the president's tweets. >> i'm confused. we said he was treated very well. i don't know what they are talkingey about misrepresenting. so oh, well. he o lives in his world of twitter. >> some staffers are criticizing mayor whaley and brown for their news conference. tweeting this, it is genuinely sad to see them hold a dishonest press conference in the name of

politics. >> this, very sad to see ohio senator brown and dayton mayor lying and completely miss characterizing what took place withte the president's visit to miami valley hospital. they are doing nothing but politichi sizing a mass shootin at every turn they can. >> the president was treated like a rock star all caught on video. >> part of the white house press pool points out it is unclear if what he says is true because the press pool was not allowed to witness anything. she tweeted this. we were told the president wanted to avoid a photo opp. those the white house did put outwh photos of their own. >> cory booker delivered a speech and spoke out about the, rising tide of gun violence and white nationalism at the place a man murdered

african-american worshippers in 2017 and pointed out that president trump and his rhetoric for being a catalyst behind the latest massacre that took place in el paso. >> it was sowed by those who spoke the same words, the el paso murderer did warning of an invasion. they spoke of an infestation of disgusting cities of rats and row dants talking about majority minority communities and drove an equivalence between neonazis and those who protest them sowed from the sighe from the highest office in our land where we see in tweets and rhetoric hateful words that ultimately endanger the lives of people in our country.

>> so multiple scares reveal the fragile state of our nation in the wake of a shugt. we have more on this. >> reporter: this is america on edge. people running for their lives, terrifying it is happening in their town. >> i thought i was going to watch my daughter get shot down in front of me. >> workers evacuated after a report of a former employee with a gun. >> we have a lot of police approaching the building. >> authorities found no evidence of violence but similar scenes across the country, panic in new yorkpa times square and capturi the moment that set off this stampede. >> people were tripping over each other, kids on the floor, shoes all over the place. seeking safety where they could find it. lindsay saw the fear firsthand.

>> the first instinct was this is ant attack. >> there was no gun. just a motorcycle backfiring. actor saying screaming civilians swarming our building for safety. this is the world we live in. it is our country. near salt lake city, shoppers ranit for cover mistaking a falling sign for gun shots. these preschoolers in san diego preparing for the real thing. theseal three and four-year-old in active shooter drill. the duck and cover attack replaced by an owed to danger. >> we are seeing three-year-olds being trained to deal with a shooter inside their school. >> itr makes you question what we've become as a country. >> thank you for that report.

>> the billionaire owner of miami dolphins and luxury fitness brands has drawn criticism he plans to hold for president trump at his home. hosted by steven ross has been slammed on social media by high profile activists and celebrities who have called for afo boycott of soul cycle and equinox. they have distanced themself saying they haveem nothing to d with the event and do not support it. no company profits are used to fund politicians. we will always stay true to those values. mr. ross is a passive investor and not involved in the benefit of either business. >> miami stever kenny stills slammed ross for the hosting of

thehe fundraiser while trying t improve race relations throughout his nonprofit organization. in a statementit obtained by th miami harold, ross defending his relationship with the president saying shthis, i have known dond trump for 40 years. w agree on some and strongly disagree on s others. i have been and will continue to be an out spoken champion of racial agreements. >> good to have you with us so president trump and his divisive comments have had an impact on his ability to fund raise heading into the general election. have youhe seen his fundraising capabilities impacted or are you seeing people like steven ross still come to his defense and help him? >> i want to point out this is still early.

this is not new. he has long released ads talking about illegal immigrations and invasions. lasts quarter, they jointly raised $105 million that far out weighs the democratic rivals. that is not something we are immediately going to see bared out based on what we've seen from the president's financial supporters thus far. >> turning back to the president's visit to the victim of the shootings considering what took place between senator brownac and the president and sn as if the press conference after the hospital seemed to be miss characterized, are you seeing

tensions at an all-time high now between democrats and republicans and especially the white house? is there going to be any moment to figure out how to move forward? >> that is absolutely true. this has really been a flash point a between this white hous and democratic candidates and critics of the president. they have called the president out for exploiting racism and being unwilling to move on gun control. we heard beto o'rourke openly call the president a white supremacist. something that would have been unprecedentede but in this fie, he's not even the first democrat to do so. i think tensions are at an all-time high. this focus on racism, white sup

recommend six and gun control has become an issue for 2020. >> still ahead, the twitter account for mcconnell has been blocked. we'll explain why and what the campaign is saying about it. >> house democrats take him peachment t efforts up a notch. they file a new lawsuit over the mart. those t stories and a check on e weather when we come back. johnson & johnson is a baby company.

impeachment. the panel has also asked a federal judge to strike down the white house's continued claim that former aids are immune to subpoenas to testify. he stated this, when faced with competing demands, don will follow his former client's instruction. >> twitter has locked mcconnell's campaign at team mitch. took the punishment for the account sharing a video of protesters sharing threats outside his home. the video violated their violent threats policy and will only unlock if the campaign agreeds to remove the video. hours after the el paso shooting, they tweeted a picture

most of whom are reportedly civilians. taliban sources say the attack was part of a planned string of attacks set to take place in various places to imbembarrass government and as many residents were preparing for the muslim holiday which starts on sunday. immigration enforcement agents raided food processing plant in mississippi. it is believed to be the largest single day one-state sweep in u.s. history. most of the workers arrested are latino. the long-plan raids unfolded as the president traveled to el paso, texas where 22 people were killed apparently by a man who posted an online screed.

checks. calling for support early in the week as he had after the shooting in parkland, florida. the nra chief executive spoke with trump on tuesday and told him a background check bill would not be popular among supporters but before his trip to el paso and dayton yesterday, the president still seemed determined to act. >> i'm looking to do background checks. i think that is important. i don't want to put guns into the hands of mentally unstable people or people with rage or hate, sick people. >> what about assault rifles? >> well, i can tell you that there is no political appetite for that at this moment, if you look at, you can speak you can do your own polling. there is no political appetite from the standpoint of legislate your. i will attorney generally bring that up.

>> what might lack support in the senator a resent poll found 70% of all voters would support a ban of assault style weapons. chuck schumer has released a statement that the notion such a statement alone come close to an ineffective cop out. saying we democrats are not going to settle for a half-measured so republicans can feel better. any bill but me accompanied by a background check bill. >> before departing for dayton and el paso president trump was pressed on his rhetoric. watch this. >> i think that illegal

immigration, you are talking illegal immigration, yes? i think it is a terrible thing for this country. >> 2020 candidate beto o'rourke did not hold back. pressing the former congressman on weather another mass shooting can happen while trump is in office. >> it will happen again because what happened in el paso is not an isolated incident. after the president warned of car vans, you had somebody go into the tree of life synagogue. so there are very real consequences to his words to his tweets, to the racism he fans. you saw this in may at a rally in florida. he says how are we going to top these people, someone yells out

shoot him. the crowds roars in approval. he laughs. he says that's okay with me. >> you've been very clear you think the president is a racism. is the president a white supremacist? >> he is. he's made that very clear. he's dehumanized those who do not look like or pray like the majority in this country. he said i wish we had more immigrants from nordic countries because those from haitis bring aids and african nations bring [ bleep ]. he's been clear about who he wants to keep out with walls and torture and cruelty. >> joe biden lit into the president accusing trump of fanning the flames of white ssu. >> trump offers no moral leadership, no evidence of

unifying this indication, no evidence the presidency has awakened his conscience in the lease. we have a president with a toxic tongue who is publicly and una poll getticly embraced the strategy of hate, racism and division. we are living through a rare moment where our president isn't up to the moment. our president lacks the moral authority to lead, where our president has more in common with george wallace than he does with george washington. with both clear language and in code, this president has fanned the flames of white supremacy in this nation. his low energy, vacant eyed mouthing of the words written for him condemning white supremacists this week i don't think fooled anyone at home or

abroad. trump readily, eagerly attacks islamic terrorism but can barely bring himself to use the words white supremacy. even when he says it, he doesn't appear to believe it. he seems more concerned about losing their votes than beating back this hateful ideology. he says guns are not the problem in mass shootings, the issue is mental health. it is a dodge. hatred isn't a mental health issue. we can't and i will not let this man be reelected president of the united states of america. [ applause ] his incompetence, his immorality, his carnage stops with us right here, right now,

starting in the midwest. limit limited to four years, i believe history will look back on this president as an abhor ant moment in american history. if donald trump is reelected, i believe he will forever alter the character of this nation. >> you know, joe is a pretty incompetent guy. i've watched his interviews and what he said and how he said it. i wouldn't have rated him very high in the first place. joe biden has truly lost his fastball, that i can tell you. >> the president also responded in a tweet, quote, watching sleepy joe biden making a speech so boring, the lame stream media will die in the rating. not to mention the fact our country will do poorly with him. at least china will be happy.

the former vice president's response was sustainct. >> your response to the president responding to you? >> he should get a life. >> glad you are watching. he's talking to you. joining us now, wanda summers. good to see you again. we have seen presidential candidates hit president trump over his rhetoric. is it having an impact, do you think, on voters. >> i think it is. i spend a lot of time on the campaign trail talking to candidates. the number one thing they told me they want to nominate someone they think can defeat donald trump. they feel the country is at an inflection point. they want to see someone who can bring this country together and move forward. in that sense, i think the comments we hear from former

president biden, cory booker, beto o'rourke and others talking about bringing together the moral core of this country and being somebody that can champion all the people could very well impact this crowded field. >> on gun reform, where are things likely to head. could we see legislation make its way through the senate that actually ends up on the president's desk and signed? >> there is no question the politics around gun control in washington are changing. we've heard the so-called red flag laws that remove guns from some people they seem dangerous. they feel that doesn't go far enough. the president has already said back in february when they were brought to the floor he would veto them. mcconnell said he wouldn't bring them to the floor.

the big wildcard is the president. if he would come out and talk to lawmakers of his party and say, look, i do earnestly want to see background check legislation move forward. i think that could have a ripple effect of lawmakers who currently oppose those policies could possibly bring them along and have some real movement on the issue which hasn't seen a lot of movement since after the sandy hook shooting. >> we know a lot of policies he makes are based on the last person he spoke to or the last event event he's reacting to. if the snapchat last person he spoke to is the nra, he'll go one way or the other way. >> that's correct. in the nra, they have the president's ear. they've been talking, i go back to what he said in those

comments at the white house where he said mental health pulled the trigger, the gun didn't pull the trigger. that is a stark statement of where the president is on this. i'm curious to see if anything moves him. like beto o'rourke said, there is a chance we'll see more of these shootings. in puerto rico. the island's third governor in a week is sworn in. >> and we'll have another look at your forecast. stay with us. hat usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. we're the tenney's and we're usaa members for life. call usaa to start saving on insurance today.

governorship after ruling he was sworn in unconstitution natalie on friday. he took office after the former leader resigned. days before stepping down, he appointed him to take over. relying on a 2005 amendment that allowed a secretary of state to be sworn in as governor. an amendment yesterday's supreme courtroomed unconstitutional. >> did you get caught in the thunderstorms yesterday? >> yes. getting out of the subway. got home drenched. no umbrella. >> i can only do so much, people. i only told him at like 5:00 a.m. yesterday.

looking at the damage done. a minimal tornado, we call it an ef 0. you can see it there. that was the only tornado reported yesterday. again, no one injured with that in areas of new jersey. we did have significant storms from d.c. to northern new england. how about today? we'll do it again but not in the same locations. a little further to the west in areas of southern ohio, pennsylvania and western new york. about 15 million people at risk of wind damage. it is still strooextremely hot texas. you'll be at 100 to 101. it will feel like 105 to 110. we are adding portions of mississippi and alabama to the heat advisors. the beautiful weather is in the northern plains. we'll track that gorgeous almost

>> welcome back, wall street suffered another day of wild swings sparking renewed concerns among investors. joining us live from london. good morning to you. stocks regained much of their losses by the close yesterday. what can we expect to see today? >> it was a wild session yesterday. actually the dow saw its biggest come back ever for the year in 2019. at one point, it was down over

600 points. by the end of the section, it had recovered to almost flat. about 70% of the stocks in the s&p were at 2% or more to give you a feel of what we overnight, things have stabilized somewhat. we have seen stocks up in the green. european averages are trading a little bit more in firmer market territory and the indices in the u.s. are pointing to open up firmer as well. for the week, many of the indices are trading down south of 2%. the market is still very much concerned about the global growth outlook here. one company we are looking at in particular throughout the last 24 hours is barney's, you may recall they filed for bankruptcy earlier this week, and plan to reduce the footprint and find a new buyer. they had filed for bankruptcy for $75 million but a surprise last-minute funding in the last 24 hours, from capital management, who will pay the 7 a million and inject another 134

million into barney's to stay open until october 24 and hopefully find a new buyer by then. >> let me get your thoughts on the wal-mart ceo who issued a lengthy statement on this weekend's mass shootings and obviously walmart has been at the center of this for many years now and saying the retail giant will respond in a thoughtful and deliberate way, not quite sure what that means if they're willing to take any specific measures on preventing sales of weapons or ammunition, but what is the market saying about what was behind this statement? >> two things we know about the walmart stores in the space of three days, as a consequence, many people have called on walmart to stop selling firearms, they're one of the largest sellers of guns and ammunition in the united states, so yesterday, the walmart ceo responded in a lengthy statement online actually, expressing his grief, shock, and anger at the events, but then he also said, we are a learning organization,

we will work to understand the many important issues that have been raised in the broader national discussion, particularly around gun violence. we will be thoughtful and deliberate in our responses. but the big question is whether or not they are actually going to change their gun policies. we have no further details. but that has been the response so far from the ceo. >> yes, so what steps are going to be made, what is going to change, what does that actually made, his statement, thoughtful and deliberate. >> and omar ma teen, bought his ammunition from walmart as well. >> thanks. coming up, a look at morning joe and president trump visits el paso and a trip about him. more on the president's meeting and the members of the still-grieving community and use part of that time to air his own grievances. and we have more on will

welcome back, joining us from washington, d.c., with a look at the co-founder, mike allen, good to have you with us. what is ax onone big thing? >> it is big business, under pressure on guns so we just saw that clip about walmart in the previous segment and a lot of big companies are hearing this, because a lot of companies touch guns, even if they don't actually make them. so you have bankers, you have retailers, you have shippers, very complicated supply chain, and here's why it matters. big business can actually make changes. they can't blame partisan gridlock like lawmakers can. the businesses can make quick changes and they haven't. there has not been a single big corporate change after this tragic weekend in america. >> so okay, we're four days post shootings from the weekend, is there any sense that they are

going to make some substantial changes? >> there are. i heard in that walmart statement the clear signal that they're reconsidering their stance on guns. and axios is reporting, showing a lot of big companies are reconsidering it. you're right, it has been a couple of days, and they're not going to do something hasty, but here is the bottom line, is that these companies face increasing pressure from within to make changes like that. so companies that used to be able to ignore a lost outside pressure, they now have pressure from customer, from activists, from their own employees, from employees that they want to recruit, to take a stand on some of these big issues. >> it is interesting to see on that story we reported earlier about the ceo, the equinox investor, and sole cycle and how companies had to put out a statement distancing themselves from the ceo support. >> i bet there is more to come on that. that is painful pressure and that is a perfect example of what we're talking about. >> and let me ask you about another interesting story, because i know axios has new

reporting reporting mayor pete buttigieg's campaign. what you are hearing about that? >> this is the scoop. mayor pete is stepping up, he had about 40 staffers four months ago, when he announced in mid april, he now has 250, and we have the scoop on a new deputy campaign manager, that he has added, who was part of the original obama campaign, very well known, in democratic politics and picking up lots of well-known names, and now has a big footprint in addition to his south end headquarters. he is in chicago and four early states. >> i know you have a first look at a new book offering advice to 2020 voters and the campaign and how to beat donald trump. talk to us about that. >> david, the architect of the 2008 victory by the president, we see here, david plouffe, has "a citizen's guide to beating trump" out next march and this is the obama world, giving

advice to both voters and campaign, as they head into 2020, and he told me in an interview that his big advice is that you need to have an affirmative case. can't just attack trump. you need to have millions of people out there saying this is why this person would be a good president. and you should vote for them in addition to voting against trump. >> mike allen, thank you very much. >> and to all of our viewers out there, you can sign up for the newsletter on signup.axos.com. thanks for joining us. morning shadow joe starts right now. if you were to assemble a list, a hierarchy of concerns this country face, where would white supremacy be on that list? right there on russia. not a real problem in america. white supremacy, that's the problem. this is a hoax. just like the russia hoax a conspiracy theory used to divide the country, and keep a hold on

power. that's exactly what's going on. >> to recognize that white nationalism is real, that white nationalism is on the rise, that white nationalism is without question a very serious problem in america, and beating down those who would help facilitate it and encourage, it because they are an enormous part of the problem. >> an internal debate on fox news with shep smith characterizes joe biden's speech yesterday taking president trump to task for his hateful rhetoric and that earned shep an insult over twitter from the president of united states, this is a reminder, christopher wray said before congress on july 23. >> through the third quarter of this fiscal year, had about, give or take 100 arrests in the international terrorism side, which includes the home-grown violent extremism. >> this year. >> this year. but we've also had just about the same number, again, don't qu
