j.b. pritzker.'re not laughing right now, you're dead inside. not because of the way they look, appearance matters to the democratic party, it's determinative. the party spent the last decade telling us white men are evil and they must be removed from positions of leadership except when their party where white men continue to run everything. lest i remind you of come out like flying private to the global warming summit or going mask lists they pass the hypocrisy test already. as long as the antiwhite parties going to ignore highly qualified leaders of colors like stacey abrams, instead intuiting to run white men, you think they would choose nonridiculous white men. they are getting behind the two guys running the most to dysfunctional states. how do we know that? be more like your dog. watch action, in your words. if more people are immigrating from california which is fleeing from california than any other state and some are running to ma drug were in a search of better life. california's paying mo

j.b. pritzker. >> now, if you're not laughing right now, you're dead inside, not least because the way they look and yes, appearance simply matters to the democratic party. it is determinative that party spent the last decade telling us that white men are evil. white men must be removed from positions of leadership except within their party where white men continue to run everything was that reminds you of kind of like flying private to the global warming summit or going marsalis's. you enforce covid mandates, both of which j.b. pritzker and gavin newsom have done. so they passed the hypocrisy test already. but as long as the anti white party is going to ignore highly qualified leaders of color like stacey abrams or terremark of rhode island and said continuing to run a white man, do you think they could at least pick nonromantic white men? but no. instead they are getting behind the two guys who run the most dysfunctional states out of 50 . how do we know that by what people do ignore people say be

j.b. pritzker in new york warning that ad in florida.they have both been at the white house recently. how do you tell the incumbents that you want to take a job? but what is it about florida? because j.b. pritzker is going back down there for gala and democrat voters down there this weekend. and they see the trumpets in florida, desantis is in order if whoever it is going to be its coming from florida. remember florida's place, dr. saphier in the height of the pandemic and how different they were from the rest of the country. the different decisions that were made and now out the red state economy is coming so much faster. i would imagine they would want to go down there and talk to republican voters to say what we will say to the other half of the country. >> nicole: a little nod so it's my turn. here is this completely right, you have desantis putting ads up in florida right now. are you kidding me? he has failed what he's done in california particularly to the pandemic. you had it 660,000 people leave california. it was the great exit

j.b. pritzker talking about the tragedy and going right to talking about guns as well.ing. >> first of all, thank you so much for having me on. obviously, my thoughts and prayers are with those who lost their loved ones and injured in those vicious attacks. yesterday, we were able to celebrate our country's birthday. whenever our people besmirch that by taking the lives of other americans, you know it is absolutely an awful thing especially over the course of the past year. but we have to address the idea of protecting second amendment rights but understanding and a bad guy has a gun and wants to hurt innocent people, they are hard to stop. so we have to keep the guns out of the hands of those people that want to do harm to others. at the same time keep in mind the second amendment rights shall not be infringed. we have to keep that in mind moving forward to. >> ashley: even a different shooting this weekend, he blames the violence on the supreme court and automatically went back to that. we interviewed 911 dispatcher in chicago 30 minutes ago. he said something to me t

j.b. pritzker on gun control."ith the president has also been very loud and also very focused on those two issue. >> usually the first term president a big draw on the campaign trail but when president biden visited ohio last night, the democrat running for senate there was apparently double booked and chose the other meeting overpaying with the president here that is congressman tim ryan. >> where is tim ryan? i don't think he's going to be with president biden today. so the president of the united states make a trip to your state and you are in the united states and not show up? that tells you everything where this administration's and everything they have done policy wise and how wrong it has turned out to be. >> president biden said recently he thinks he's done a lot. the crowd has been communicating everything they have done. so that could have something to do with the communications director leaving. harris. >> harris: you know what is interesting, and anonymous democratic lawmaker, that is a trial balloon. t

j.b. pritzker of illinois. gridlock here in washington could potentially create an opening for one of these democrats to challenge president biden in 2024? >> i'm not looking had six years. i'm looking into this week and whether we can come together. democrats and republicans to get something done in washington. bring down the cost of prescription drugs. deal with this issue which is frozen economic expansion in this country. let's get this agenda underway, and the election in just a few months will take care of itself with the one year off which is certainly er the horizon. >> at senator durbin, thank you so much for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> up next to bring in our sunday group for the seeming disconnect on the voter's impression of the economy in the white house. ♪ ♪ we call it oleyumi. you call it california. our land, our culture, our people once expansive, now whittled down to a small community. only one proposition supports california tribes like ours. while providing hundreds of millions in

j.b. pritzker saying to me, no they will not run and no one should run.s need to unite and stop fighting with each other because otherwise they are essentially back biting their way into a return of trump and trumpism. >> as always, isaac, it's a really interesting article and piece that you just published. the theme, though, is that there doesn't seem as of now to be a challenger, a primary challenger to joe biden, however, the white house is still nervous about it, right? >> look, they are watching what's going on, i have had conversations with people in the white house saying, look, we're looking at what's happening, it could happen, we think that there could be someone there maybe, but what they i would say didn't know as much as i do now through this reporting is that these people were rug it out. the white house has been looking at people like gavin newsom and saying what are they up to as newsom has stepped forward a little bit more into the national scene, but newsom telling me, as i said, no, he will not run. absolutely not. >> a lot can change,

j.b. pritzker and the senator from illinois tammy duckworth. nding a very furious note about his anger, his anger that we are the only country in the world that lives with this menace of these kinds of mass shootings where people use weapons like the weapon apparently used here. in fact, senator tammy duckworth saying the last time she heard a weapon firing at that clip, that capacity on july 4th was in iraq, not on the civilian streets of highland park. we don't have much more information about the status of the the person identified as a person of interest, bobby crimo, 22 years from highland park, at least living there according to officials. we have with us joining us ryan bussey, a former firearms industry executive, author "gun fight" and liz dunning, vice president of development at brady gun safety legislation organization. liz, let me start with you. your reaction hearing both, well, all three elected officials from the mayor, nancy rotering, to the governor pritzker to the senator tommy duckworth decry the brutal recruit of our america

j.b. pritzker. iit is devastating that a celebration of america was ripped apart by our uniquely american plague, a day dedicated to freedom has put into stark relief the onere freedom weed as a nation refuse to uphold the freedom of our fellow citizens to live without the daily fear of gun violence. it's the fourth of july four reflection on our freedoms. our founders carried muskets, not assault weapons. and i don't think a singled one of them would have said that you have a constitutional right to an assaultt weapon with a high capacity magazine, a single person watching. there's even one person watching that believe for s a second to j.b. pritzker has had an authentic human emotion in the last 20 years other than gluttony, greed and the lust for power. no, no one believes that this is politics. disarm the law abiding. that's the first thing every authoritarian regime does. of course, make sure the other side can't fight back .is of course, that'shat th they al. so, of course, in new york, the st

j.b. pritzker seemed to fill a void? >> that's right.tant to node that biden's team believes, correctly, that some of that calm, measured competence is what helped him defeat donald trump. so when there's an onslaught of criticism, think sort of say our -- what has changed is that in a number of threats currently facing the company, democrats view them as existential. it's not a disagreement, but threats to american democracy. democrats feel this incredible urgency, and they don't want a leader who is not going to fight incredibly aggressively. one final point. biden's team says correctly, look, there's a limit to what the president can do, dealing with the senate and the congress as it is. what you're seeing from democrats, they may understand that biden cannot wave a magic wand, but they want to see him fineding, angry. when there's a shooting in highland park where, you know, seven people were killed, the horrible story of the 2-year-old boy wandering around looking for his parents who it turns out had died. that is sort of -- he and

j.b. pritzker approaches the waffle station with maximum enthusiasm.snorts and splashes it on his shirt, he can't get enough. joe biden's latest idea is that he personally is the only branch of government in the united states. no more separation of powers, joe biden has all the power. if the congress or the supreme court does something that joe biden doesn't like he gets to simply ignore it and do what he wants to do. and he can do this because it is an emergency. no time for democracy, an emergency on our hands and actually only joe biden can solve it. we don't have enough abortions commits an emergency. you are not wearing a mask alone in your car, it's an emergency. your kids are in transit yet, it's an emergency. the emergency to top all emergencies, climate crisis, which is the kind of ongoing, thousand year emergency. very much existential, whatever that means, but trust us, it is bad and the only solution to it is to hand joe biden more power. at an event today biden explain the details. since congress has officially rejected his attempt to take

j.b. pritzker says he's furious that more innocent lives have been taken by gun violence. >> it is devastating that a celebration of america was ripped apart by our uniquely american plague. a day dedicated to freedom has put into stark relief the one freedom we as a nation refuse to uphold -- the freedom of our fellow citizens to live without the daily fear of gun violence. >> earlier a father who witnessed the attack described the initial panic and confusion after shots started ringing out. >> we heard -- it sounded like a string of firecrackers going off inside of a big metal trash bin. at first that's what i thought it was, 20, 30 maybe. then i looked to my right and saw the police starting to act, and i saw people falling. and my wife and i took off. directly behind the store we were sitting in front of there's a parking lot. we started sort of, you know, going from car to car, running. we were at the parade because our 14-year-old twin boys were marching with the high school football team. and we knew they hadn't yet made their way up the parade route, and so we were going to try to get

j.b. pritzker, the governors respectively of california and illinois decided to launch their exploratory effortso new hampshire, going to florida and running ads in florida and running them in texas and picking fights. going out of their way to say without saying it, we're candidates. the one thing that undermines the credibility of a sitting democratic president is when you have someone overly ambitious democratic candidates that are making it clear they're running. the vice president of the united states has been going out of her way to lay the predicate and has the transportation secretary going out of his way to lay the predicate for a 2024 race. the cumulative effect of that is to feed the political beast, feed the political op-ed men and suddenly you have people like robert rice saying, i'm a democrat, but don't run joe biden. >> martha: i'm glad you brought it up. that's one of the things that underliesed this "quit joe quit" piece. they said one of the things that would take the pressure off of this champing at the bit on the part of people like newsome and pritzker and the vice presiden

j.b. pritzker brought the discussion to assault weapons even though highland park has an assault weapons ban founders carried muskets not assault weapons. i don't think a single one of them would have said you have a constitutional right to assault weapon high capacity magazine. police say he had a total of five guns. >> one rifle he left on the roof top, another rifle he found in his car when he was arrested. in addition a shotgun and two handguns, all of them purchased after his run-ins with authorities. police say he is indeed talking to investigators. but they still don't have a motive. and we're waiting on criminal charges. mike, back to you. >> mike: mike tobin starting us off in highland park, illinois. thanks. what was supposed to be a day of celebration turned into chaos in some of america's biggest cities on the 40 of july. dozens are recovering from shootings including two police officers from philadelphia. molly line has the story tonight from boston. >> a celebratory night interrupted by fear and fleeing spectators.

j.b. pritzker summed up the emotions of experiencing such a tragedy and what was supposed to be a day of celebration. >> while we sellcelebrate the fh of july just once a year, mass shootings have become our weekly, yes, weekly american tradition. >> the numbers back that up. this is at least the 308th mass shooting in this country, this year. we should note cnn defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot. josh campbell and adrienne broaddus are on the scene in highland park. i understand you spoke with the mayor a short time ago. she is telling you she knew the suspect. what do we know? >> reporter: she says she remembers this suspect as a quiet little boy. listen in to some of that conversation. >> he was a cub scout in my cub scout pack. so many years ago was just a little boy, a quiet little boy i knew. it breaks my heart. it absolutely breaks my heart. i see this picture and through the tattoos i see the little boy. it is heart breaking. i don't know -- i don't know what got him to this point. but let's ask that question of so many people. >> reporter: like so many oth

[ cheering and applause ] and things will get better still, but not without more hard work together. you all heard what happened, you all heard what happened today. and each day we're reminded, there is nothing guaranteed about our democracy. nothing guaranteed about our way of life. we have to fight for it. defend it. and earn it, by voting. >> six people have passed and others are wounded. but we have a lot more work to do. we have to get this under control. we have to get this under control. but having said that, i just want to keep a slight moment of silence for all of those families. >> the president yesterday joining us now white house political reporter eugene daniels, a "morning joe" senior contributor. thank you for being with us again today.

j.b. pritzker, that nine people have been reportedly shot at this parade. do you think you were -- how close were you to the people who were injured? did you have to walk a little way to see? >> i was within feet of people that were injured and maybe within ten feet of two people that i observed lifeless on the ground in a pool of blood. >> you saw about ten people, you said, myles? >> no. well, i probably observed multiple people who had blood on their body from either an injury and at least a couple of people that were lifeless on the ground in a pool of blood. >> were there ambulances on the scene already or was it mostly law enforcement? >> there were probably a couple on the scene, but ambulances coming to and fro. >> did you hear a concern from authorities who were there about the fact that they had not located the shooter yet? >> i had heard from somebody or a couple people, including one police officer -- i said is this still an active shooter scene? he says yes, get out of here. so that's all i can tell you. that was about 20 minutes after it occur

j.b. pritzker of illinois and from senator tammy duckworth also from illinois.orror, it is really hard to believe that this is still happening in our country right now. this murderer will be brought to justice, governor pritzker said. this madness must stop. and he told everyone watching right now, be angry. be angry. those were his words. and we just heard once again put up on the screen, the image, the picture of this person of interest. there he is. robert e. crimo, c-r-i-m-o iii, this is the person they're looking for. they consider him to be armed an dangerous. they say he's 22 years old and believe he was responsible for this mass killing in highland park illinois, a commun communion very well. i got relatives, been there many times over the years, beautiful community outside of chicago, so devastating to see what's going on in highland park illinois, just weeks ago, my hometown of buffalo, new york witnessed a mass madder. especially, as, i say, very personal for me, whether highland park illinois or buffalo, new york. it's an awful situation and represen

j.b. pritzker and i have been focused on the health, safety, and access for opportunities all-in of illinois, all backgrounds and ages. and one way, we've worked to make that reality, is by preserving and protecting legal abortion in illinois. in 2019, governor pritzker side the reproductive health act which enshrinement reproductive rights into state law. repealed outdated laws, criminalizing abortion and requires private health insurance plans to cover abortion, as the vital reproductive health procedure that it is. we made a vow, that our state will be a beacon of hope for all. this was a promise that we made to the people of illinois, and i come before you today because it's people around the midwest are relying on commitment to protect, and preserve women's rights namely the right to an abortion. it's no secret, that illinois stands out as one of the only states in the u.s. heartland, or our laws on illegal abortion have not been impacted by the supreme court's overturning of roe v. wade. we are not just an oasis of reproductive care, but an island, and here is what that looks like. it
