gabby and i are in d.c. today because we have planned on joining ralph northam, candidate on the campaign trail talking about how to keep our communities safer. it's because politics matters. who we elect matters. don't let anyone tell you not to talk about politics when we talk about guns. gabby got into politics because she wanted to govern. the people we elect will either take us backwards, condemning us to many more days when we wake up to more carnage and more lost lives or they will take us forward towards a safer country. here are a few things that our leaders can do and should do today that will keep americans safer. pass universal background checks to make sure everyone gets a background check before they obtain a gun. the studies are clear. where these laws are passed, fewer people get shot. where they have been repealed, murder and violence has increased. subject the sale of the most lethal weapons to stronger oversight and regulation. you can buy an ar-15 in a parking lot with no background check

gabby and i are heart groning. days like today remind us and many others how quickly things can change. we're angry. but we also have a choice. can offer thoughts and prayers and move on through life numb to these losses. we can accept this galling reality. we can accept the wounds. we can accept that folks like gabby will just have to pay the price for the status quo. we could accept the enormous social, moral, and economic cost imposed on this country by accepting gun violence as simply the cost of living in america. or we can choose courage. we can decide that this problem is worthy of our greatest efforts. we can reject the idea that this is inevitable. we can distance ourselves from dogma and political point scoring. we can also reject special interests. we can demand that the leaders we elect go to work in the building behind me and the one right down the street don't have the option to say that this is just too hard. what we're hearing today at the capitol and white house are thoughts and prayers. thoughts a

gabby, same question to you, singularly her fault or is it any at all her fault?> i mean, i think nancy pelosi has been wonderful fundraiser in the democratic caucus and house for a numbers of years. you can tell that just by, you know, looking at how many democrats have come out calling for a young person to take over in that role, they really want a new generation of leadership and it's not just men who are calling for nancy pelosi to step down, vice chairwoman of representative linda sÁnchez has said that it's time for somebody new to take over. it's a testament to what democrats realized they need to do going to 2018 and that requires change in leadership and somebody who really understands the messaging that they're going to need if they want to, you know, take back the house or even regain some seats in the house. rob: yeah, chuck over to you, you can see two ways, by the way, there's more construction, i think you can hear in the background, we had the same problem last week. same question, though, you have one side that says we need to young leadership, so
