thank you. >>> you heard david mention manuel oliver and his son joaquin. manuel and his wife patricia have become an incredible force for change. they came to america from venezuela when their son was 3 years old. and he became a citizen just a year before he was killed. manuel and patricia have made it their life's work to build on the parkland legacy and to eradicate the scourge by its roots. and they're joining me now from new york. manuel and patricia, welcome to the program. >> thank you. thank you for having us. >> i just wonder what went through both of your minds as parents when you heard you know, one of the main activists invoke yourselves and your son as inspiration for the struggle. >> we empower each other in terms of movements, not david and myself or david and patricia, but march for our lives and what we do. we just try to make the other one understand that there is hope and that together we can fix this. this is an amazing friend and as long as the future of this nation is in the hands of kids like him, i think we have a great future ahead.

. >> joining me now, one of those fathers, manuel oliver. mr. oliver, thank you for joining us.e watching fred guttenberg interrupting representative matt your son was 17 years old. jamie guttenberg was 14. why did you interrupt the congressman? what were you trying to say to him? >> i was trying to stop him from what he was starting to say and the point he was trying to make, which was out of context in that room. the reason why we are there is because we lost loved ones. there were 100 kids behind us. they're there because they have concerns about gun violence. and let's keep in mind of what really matters here, and that's keeping people alive. he was trying to make a point that was totally unrelated to what the purpose of that meeting was. and i prevent him, in a way, to just go back to the main point here. don't sell an idea that is just not -- it won't belong to this discussion. that was the whole point. i reacted as a father. that's my position. >> yeah. i want you to listen. this is congressman gaetz, on with my colleague, chris, a short time ago. this is what he had to s

manuel oliver and fred guttenberg, both who lost children in the school shooting in parkland, floridaes then called for these two men to be removed from the hearing. >> i hope we do not forget the pain and anguish and sense of loss felt by those all over the country who have been the victims of violence at the hands of illegal aliens. hr-8 would not have stopped many of the circumstances i raised, but a wall, a barrier on the southern border may have, and that's what we're fighting for. i hope that we'll deal with all of the drivers of violence, the greatest driver of violence in the circumstances that i indicated was not the firearm. it was the fact that we have an immigration system that allows people to come here violently. we engage -- >> there will be no comments -- >> is there a process in the committee whereby if the very same people are repeatedly interrupting the time of the members that those people will be asked to depart the committee?

wanted to make sure i was able to speak for those who couldn't at the time like my sister or manuel, oliverothers who lost siblings or children that day so it wouldn't just be another mass shooting in the history of america. >> so, ryan, what's changed over the past year since that horrible day? >> i mean, you can just see it in the laws that have been passed and the lives that have been saved in the country. through our activism, speaking out, working with politicians on the federal and local level we have seen over 67 state laws be passed since the tragedy at our high school. we see more and more federal bills being introduced and more and more likely they are looking like they can pass. we need them to pass because we know that with these laws and with the change that we need to see happen these tragedies can be prevented. we don't want another tragedy, another school shooting the same as we don't want another shooting on our streets. >> let me put up a graphic we put together of the things you were able to get passed in florida. you marched to the state capi l capitol. i was there repor
