and kaitlin made a good point, what will his tone be. will he have the same sense of urgency in a couple of weeks when congress comes back into session. let me ask you in light of that, do you think mitch mcconnell will get onboard with background checks? it sounds like you believe it's all talk for the most part, but what about mitch mcconnell? >> i don't, pamela. i think, again, over the course of august, mitch mcconnell and most of the republicans will hear from a lot of their voters. i know people like to just bang the nra over the head, but what is the nra? the nra is 5 to 8 million gun owners. i think these republicans are going to hear from those gun owners. these republicans are going to be reminded, look, both of those shooters in el paso and dayton, they passed a background check. i think this is just the president talking because he had a horrible week. he's made no effort to unify this country during this terrible week. >> and he had the opportunity, of course, when he visited the victims of the el paso mass shooting and dayt

kaitlin?shows shvery clear executive power in this moment that i am the president of the united states and you will obey this executive order that i have -- i am trying to enforce because of a supreme court decision. this is how our law works. th but also he doesn't directly call out -- he calls out the police there in little rock bu he puts the emphasis really on o these demogog extremists, the people rather than the people there, the local government. rn i'm from little rock so this is important to me. but he doesn't really call out the local government there for really not enforcing anything which i think is interesting because i think in some ways, he's trying to -- inhe's not trying to isolate and push them away from doing their job basically thbut the emphasis on these mobs thand they're out of control and it's not really the politicians to really to blame for this. >> why do you think he does that? what's the goal? because that's on purpose the frames it. >> i think he's trying to, like

. >> let's bring in kaitlin collins to get to the bottom of this because he's claiming this even thoughhe republican senator's office has told cnn something different. >> reporter: yeah, and that's not what we've heard from other republicans who have been speaking with us privately about this push for background checks coming from the president. he's saying there he spoke with the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. he said he thinks he's onboard with background checks and he's convinced that mitch mcconnell wants to do something, though after the president said circular last week mcconnell's aide came out -- aides came out and said that he had not signed on to any new legislation related to gun control measures. we're also hearing privately that republicans are not on board with this either. the president said he's spoken with several republicans who he believes are backing him on this push for making background checks tougher. but what we've heard is actually they don't think that's the right solution here because they don't think strengthening these background checks, the push yo

kaitlin collins is in new jersey near bedminster. this is highly unusual, so why is the president doing this? >> reporter: it's incredibly unusual. we should point out that just last month the israeli ambassador to the united states, ron dermer said that these two lawmakers were going to be allowed to visit and now they have changed their mind after the president has been urging them publicly, urging the prime minister of israel and israel overall not to let them come and visit. and then of course now they have officially done that with netanyahu issuing a statement explaining his reasoning and saying that his change of mind has to do more with their agenda than what the president has been urging publicly saying only a few days ago we received their visit plan. from it, it's clear they are planning a journey with the sole target of strengthening the boycott movement and negating the legitimaty of israel. he says, for example, they have defined their destination as palestine and not israel. netanyahu also said they avoided asking to m

cnn white house correspondent kaitlin collins is live for us at the white house. if you would, tell bus this new video and what it shows. >> reporter: if you remember the white house didn't let cameras into the hospital because they didn't want it to turn into a photo opportunity though they did release videos of their own. now we're getting a look at what the president said beyond those videos that came from the white house. this is coming from someone who was inside the hospital where at the beginning of this video, the president thanked the medical staff for their response, their quick response to that shooting, but then the president quickly pivoted to talking about himself. >> i was here three months ago, we made a speech and we had -- what was the name of the arena? that place was packed, right? the judge is a respected guy. what was the name? oh, good. that was some -- that was some crowd. we had twice the number outside and then you had this crazy beto. beto had like 400 people in a parking lot. they said his crowd was wonderful. >> reporter: now, pam, i w

. >> cnn's kaitlin collins is at the white house for us.s your understanding about whether the president is going to do more than just tweet today? >> reporter: well, that's the question right now. so far over the weekend as the president has been tweeting about these two shootings, he stayed out of the public eye while he's been at his new jersey golf club. he has not had any public events in front of reporters but he stopped by several weddings held at the club on saturday night but that is the only time it appears that the president has been in front of people over the weekend while he's been at his new jersey golf club. of course that's going to change in the next hour when the president is expected to make his return to washington. right now aides say that's when the president could address reporters about these shootings in front of the cameras as he's at the airport getting ready to make his way back here to washington. of course right now the president hasn't within in front of the cameras. there are questions about what the preside

cnn white house correspondent kaitlin collins joins us now to talk about this. the fema director is the person who oversees the natural disaster recovery effort, so what happens when this hurricane hits? >> reporter: this is a pivotal role in any administration, especially as a hurricane is approaching florida like this one with hurricane dorian is. but president trump's pick to be the fema administrator has not been confirmed by the senate yet and instead the president has an acting associating administrator who is going to be by his side shepherding through his response to this hurricane over the weekend of the t weekend. the last guy who was the confirmed fema administrator resigned in february after he clashed with then homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen. the president picked someone else but his nomination was sent to capitol hill to be confirmed and has essentially come to a standstill up there and right now fema, the agency, is being run by this acting director, pete gainer, who we should note while he does have essentially a decade of experienc

joining me now is kaitlin collins. so the president enters difficult territory here, both here in dayton and in el paso. i've been speaking to people in both communities. they don't believe, many don't believe he's up top the task. >> that's the question. i've been reporting on the president since day one when he took office. he has a habit of when something like this happens, where he does want to match the occasion, he does want to come off as this comforter in chief. but that's something his critics and even own allies and aides have said he's fallen short of time and time again today. he's going to try to do that today. he's expressed that privately behind the scenes, building up to these trips. the question is whether or not what the president says today matches what he says a week from now. >> or in a tweet. >> he addressed the nation, talk abouting what to do in the aftermath of this shooting. then on the south lawn of the white house, he expressed the support for background checks. now, privately, we've heard t

. >> we'll get straight to the white house and cnn's kaitlin collins. we've seen this before. what's your sense of the current white house thinking on gun control, specifically on background checks? >> reporter: well, the question a lot has to do with the pressure that's not only on the president but on republicans because in times like this where the cable news coverage and the newspaper headlines are constantly about what the president is going to do, what republicans are going to do and what his critics are saying, often that's something the president is talking a lot about privately. people have noted as this stops being in the headlines, there's a chance it loses momentum in washington for anything to happen. right now the president is expressing support for these background checks not just on the south lawn as you showed there but also privately he's been talking about it with aides and lawmakers as well, trying to get a sense of what the political appetite for that is, which right now he's telling people he believes is strong. of course the question is whether or not th

as kaitlin pointed out, he suggested there was less appetite for banning assault weapons.e wanted to throw that out there, see what the reaction was, and see how far he could go or how far republicans might consider going. but given the track record with the president and republicans to the senate, i'd have to say i'm skeptical at how fast any kind of national gun reform legislation is going to move. can i make one more quick point about congressman turner that you brought up from ohio? yes, as you said, he has an a-rating from the nra. his daughter was across the street from the dayton shooting. now he's sort of seen the light on gun reform. reminded me of another ohio politician, senator portman, who was against gay marriage until 2013 when he said that his son came out as gay, reversed his position. it makes me ask, when do politicians take a stand on principle and open their minds to the pros and cons of an issue rather than having to wait until something is personal and brought home to take a stand possibly on principle on an issue? that, i think, is the one question
