8:15 am
this goes on. when he goes on talking about trying to make contact with north korea and the president cuts his legs off in public and says don't fool with that, do you think the press conference made it worse or helped? i don't think it helped. it was more like a hostage tape. >> how so? >> why was he there? >> the "washington post" said they have checked with 19 sources. i mean this sets the new record for number of sources that say he's a short timer and word is he'll be gone by christmas. i don't see how this helps much of anything. >> not only that, he says, i support the iran-contra nuclear deal and the president said i haven't decided.

8:35 am
ban on assault weapons. surely that hasn't changed in loot of this latest shooting. what are you thinking today? >> if you want to gret something done, you have to get the people who are the strong gun advocates, the people who don't want to listen and those who favor gun control who are not going to be extreme. you've got to get law enforcement and experts in the room and say, okay, we've go tot let pressure out of the pressure cooker. so is this bump business where you can take a gun and make it an automatic? i'll tell you what people tell me who understand this. you can take all the devices away. we still know how to make it short of automatic. what i believe has to happen is people with good will have to sit in a room and hammer something out. my mother used to cook potatoes in this device and it would whistle. i said, mom, what is that. she said, johnny, that's called a pressure cooker and
8:36 am
don't let the pressure out, the thing will blow up. >> governor, whenever something happens and you try to bring the topic up, not you, a generic you, they say, now is not the time to discuss it. >> we can't say that. you let a few days go and you get intoet. you know, gayling i dealt with the issue of race in ohio. i brought liberals along with minorities and law enforcement. because they're of good will, they hammered out some of the most come prohencive ways it can work. if you can do it with race which is so volatile, why can't you do it with guns? >> we had what happened in new up to and children were did and you would think at least people will get together in a room. >> nobody put them in a room. >> look. e i'm giving you the honest answer to this. if i wer
8:37 am
would do is i would put these folks in a room and i'd find out who those people are who are reasonablelet when i talk to people who work with the highway patrol, they're big gun advocates. say, is there a way to relieve the pressure, they always say yes. you can't find people who say no way, no how, and you can't find people on the other side who say, we're going to take away all the guns. that's the best chance of doing it. >> just to be specific would you support outlawing these bump stocks? >> oh, yeah, of course. >> could you take action in your state? >> i don't know if i could pass it. i don't know what -- >> you'd put your political will on the line to do it. >> yeah, it makes a lot of sense to get rid of it but we have to do it not in an atmosphere where we're operating on one side. there has to be common agreement. if you don
8:38 am
don't think it gets done. >> in the second amendment rights they keep saying that, but they were talking about muss skets. the times have changed so drastically. >> gayle, we can have all the fill ossifies on the show. i'm not telling you that there's a guaranteeing but with the right leadership you can get it. it's like health care. in washington right now, many of the republicans do not want to do anything to fix the health care system. >> you think the president of the united states, donald trump, has the political will to do this? is he prepared? >> i don't know. >> to bring the people in the room. that's the question, is it not? >> let me ask you. to you think he does? you know him better than i do probably. i mean i don't know. i would like to think he would do that. i'm not sure where he is on the issue. remember, he said something about, well, we'll have to look at all this. >> let me ask you this. was this
8:39 am
so different because it was the largest mass killing in the country that it might be the precipitation for getting something done? >> yes, yes. but what i'm saying, charlie, it has to be both sides. >> i understand. >> this is the most important thing. people think all of a sudden they're going to come take my gun, then they're going to go like crazy, and it's not the nra as much as the membership, the gun owners across america. these are people who are republican, democrat, liberal, conservative. so they have to understand we're not out for some wholesale kind of disarming. what we're talking about here is some common sense things, for example, should we have armor piercing bullets, you know. that's a question. what do you do about ammunition? these are things you have to talk about. >> your republican party recently had a bill that was up for a vote that would allow armor piercing bullets and silencers so there would with a further devolution. >> yeah, the
8:40 am
like they're silent. i'm not an expert in all this, but this lowers the volume of the sound. but now ryan has said we're going to take a pause. what else i want to tell you this morning, i don't want to see these health care skparmgs fall apart because it's going to mean millions of americans are going to lose health insurance. we have lamar alexander and patty murray suppose lid talking to them down there. i've talked to senator and both parties which say there's a way to give states flexibility in terms of wanting to reembrace obamacare. but if we don't save these exchanges, if we don't figure out a way to stabilize this, they're going to collapse. we've got to get about this. i'm begging the democrats to say we want to have a compromise, and i'm trying to tell the republicans we need to have one. >> sounds like you need to be in governor, washington. >> i break into a cold sweat whenever i get down here. i have to tell
