mayor michael nutter, thank you very much indeed for being with us.r political analyst and former advisor to george w bush, ron christie. always great to have you with us. let's just start on some of what donald trump said today. that they might be in favour of tighter background checks on guns. is this the start of a movement or is this a limited bit of space that donald trump is willing to give and doesn't simplify very much? good afternoon to you. it is too early to say. it isa to you. it is too early to say. it is a step in the right direction but, as we know, with congress being controlled by republicans, i don't know that there is a movement necessarily to have significant gun—control legislation at this point that could pass the 60 vote senate and make the present‘s desk. thank you for that. i wanted to stay with us, because it's been a holiday weekend in the united states. the president has been at malalai go. the president has been at malalai 90- -- the president has been at malalai go. —— mar—a—lago. but this time took the decision not to pl
