play century the nra and america -- for a century and the nra and america's law enforcement have hadual trust and support. today, we are continuing a long-standing tradition of recognizing the nra's law enforcement officer of the year. let me tell you a story. on a hot july afternoon last year in fargo, north dakota, four police officers were working their routine traffic accidents. suddenly, someone across the street opened rifle fire on the officers by the shooting gallery. three of the officers went down. to save them, the fourth officer zachary robinson armed with only a handgun opened fire and advanced on the suspect until he was dead. [applause] for his courage and bravery, and for relieving the city of fargo of another violent criminal, let us hear it loud for nra's law enforcement officer of the year, officer zach robinson! please stand and be recognized. [applause] [applause] >> i have one other important piece of this. today is the date we remember the brave souls and sacrifice of our men and women who put service above self. today is armed forces day. if you are a current

the nra had a statement from the group had said this is a landmark victory for the nra all who care about our first amendment freedom. the opinion confirms with the nra has known all along new york new york government officials abuse of power of their office to silence a political enemy. >> that's that sentiment of feeling like it's a landmark for them, is good, but it's not quite yet what it is is it's on the law, the justices were basing this in their own first amendment precedent going back six decades. but they also said, we're not deciding whether the facts here are true or false. we're just saying if they are true there would be a violation. now it goes to lower back to lower court for a hearing jonas cubic. >> thank you so much for the up to share. >> thank you. >> and still ahead, secrets and spies, we're going to talk with a former kgb officer about the intricacies of espionage and how covert agent since shape the world and one of the most active tornado seasons, seasons you can't control what kinds of interventions can we design? go inside the store premiere of violent earth wit

by rolling stone, trump gives into the nra, pushing facebook ads straight from the nra playbook. these billboards circled the convention center for eight hours saturday to contrast that meeting. and i think that counterprogramming to remind people what donald trump has said is important and you have the vice president who put out this statement on donald trump's appearance that reminded us that he opposed comments about common sense gun safety measures, but our number one problem about children, this is where he decided to go, the actual nra is not what it used to be but the culture has permeated the republican party apparatus. and a time when guns are the number one killer of our kids. >> i thought his comments were honestly very out of step with where the majority of americans are at, during his speech, he bragged about doing nothing. he said, in the four years that i was in office, we did nothing, there was a lot of pressure and i did nothing, that is not something to brag about. i think it is like 80% and percent -- 87% support a background check, they are bipartisan forms th

late today, trump promising attendees at the nra convention in dallas that he will protect gun rightsnd roll back some of president biden's gun reforms. the current president is in georgia trying to appeal directly to a traditionally strong part of his base. here's jay o'brien. >> reporter: in his first campaign appearance since agreeing to debate president biden twice, tonight, donald trump, scoring the endorsement of the nra, as the embattled gun rights group turns to the former president for help weathering a political storm. >> we've got to get gun owners to vote. >> reporter: trump telling the nra's annual meeting in dallas he'll roll back biden's gun control reforms, after an estimated 150 plus mass shootings so far this year. >> the nra has stood with me from the very beginning. and with your vote, i will stand strong for your rights and liberties and four more years in the white house. >> reporter: once a politically potent organization, the nra, now at an inflection point. its longtime, powerful ceo, wayne lapierre stepping down earlier this year. in february, a new york jury

the nra is not the political force it was before census hide in 2018 the nra lost over 1 million membersfinancial impropriety that were levied against the longtime ceo and other members of the leadership in 2019. revenue has gone down by 40% since 2016. does trump cozying up to the nra fire up people who want gun control more than it galvanizes gun rights people at this point? >> to your point, reverend, i was a big surprise that the nra announce their endorsement. i thought it was strange they were able to organize a conference to be frank. once i have gotten over that surprise i honestly really think it is just mobilizing components of a space that is already activated. if you care about gone singly over any other issue in the country you are probably already rallied behind donald trump. if you disagree with any of the regulations that biden has passed, you are certainly already going to be withdrawn. >> ashley, let's look ahead to trump's hush-money trial this week. former trump lawyer and now witness michael cohen will face further cross-examination tomorrow, before trump's lawyers p

reporter: yeah right before he spoke the nra formally endorsed trump for president.ay after his visit to deep blue minnesota. state campaign says in cycle despite no presidential candidate winning minnesota in more than 50 years. tom democrats argue trump did you want have a chance there. and simply trying to force biden to spend valuable campaign resources in minnesota that could be spent in other states that are truly a battle ground for trump. griff. griff: we shall see garrett tenny live for us thank you very much. let's start with you tom. because you and i were watching the very long speech that trump gave in the nra, and at one moment he said, what do you got to do? it is saturday. nobody is getting anything to do let's just talk who needs a teleprompter what did you think of his comments? >> one time i was offended by trump comments because we are on saturdays. come on it is very important with get to our show but he had a great time he can riff and this is his crowd you heard how he said second amendment and i love the comment about the drug testing because

the timing of trump's speech today at the nra days before this summer memorial. this send? >> thank you. i would like to say it was tone deaf but i think the nra and trump are not tone deaf. tone deaf is there is some level of ignorance. i know exactly what they are doing. what they have done in texas is direct conscious indifference to this tragedy and to what gun manufacturers and the nra have done here in texas. here we have republicans in this state that control the state and have done nothing, nothing whatsoever to change anything on gun safety to prevent this from happening again. it will happen again and it'll happen again because republicans have done nothing because donald trump and the nra simply do not care about the people that are getting hurt on the streets every day. >> that is shameful. let's talk about texas. no stranger to gun violence besides uvalde there was a mass shooting last year at that shopping mall in allen . both shooters used legally purchased guns in the attack. what needs to change in your state you need to keep people safe? >> we a

the nra has been defined by men and women.yal, hard working citizens who believe in defending your families and your communities and our country. rfk jr. i call him junior, by the way. he's radical left. don't think about it. don't waste your vote. we need a conservative person with common sense. this guy is radical left who destroyed new york. they're taking down all of the energy components we have the highest. and all of new england. actually, he's a disaster. he's radical. left rfk jr is radical left. he reminds me of this fly that's driving me crazy up here. his fly is brutal. i don't like flies. but rfk jr calls you a terrorist group. you know, he calls you a terrorist group. can't vote for him. you can't. you know, somebody said, well, they like his policy on vaccine. the other day he said, no, no, he'll go for the vaccine. he's not he's got no policy on anything. he's radical. left he always has been. his family is angry at him because he's doing this. they won't talk to him because they said, where the hell did this c

in dallas, how influential is the nra right now? >> not nearly as influential as they once were. they've been going through a lot of turmoil with wayne lapierre. is departure all the scandal and the financial prices to lawsuits, the judgments, the nra is still going to be a force. i bet i think much less of a force in terms of money and we'll see how much organization they can still do given the turmoil that has really ensnared the nra but they remain powerful force or power comes with their membership, frankly and so they're really good at reaching out to their members and telling their members who to vote for. and their members tend to follow direction pretty well. so they will still be a force, but not as much of a force. because of all the other issues surrounding the scandal that played the organization. >> all right. charlie dent, glad we were able to re-establish the connection. meghan, hey, thank you so much for hanging in there as well. appreciate you both. >> we have more on our breaking news out of iran, new details on th

a win for the nra. the case gets to continue.ursue their first amendment rights in this case. so essentially a win for the nra. the case is far from over. if a government official gets involved with trying to pressure regulated entities to stop doing business with a legal entity, here the case apparently 9-0 yes there are unanimous opinions at the supreme court sending it back down to say the nra has a case here. >> dana: thank you so much. so we have that one. we don't have the presidential immunity case. that could be next thursday. >> bill: judge alito not stepping down from trump's cases. david spunt has is latest now live from d.c. good morning. >> good morning to you. he announced his decision to two rare letters addressed to congress saying he will continue hearing cases and will not recuse himself. this all began just about a couple of weeks ago when a picture surfaced of an upside down flag hung outside their home for several days in january 2021. there it is. just days after the january 6th capitol riot. democrats say i

we're people for whom the second amendment is a big issue gun owners and members of the nra, the nra itself may not be able to provide the punch, probably won't be able to provide the political hunch that he used to. >> but donald trump needs those gun owners, particularly in rural counties, to come out to vote in big numbers to win the election in 2024. and i think that's why he went to the nra. yeah. and that was that clip that steve showed, right where he said, okay, i need you to vote this year. i really need you to show up. >> president biden. the meantime is in atlanta and ahead of this address at morehouse college tomorrow, where we've seen are we've seen in some polling specifically that new york times sienna poll that biden's support among black voters is softening specifically among young black men. >> do you think this sort of targeted campaigning will work? >> do you think he can make some progress on that jessica? >> i don't think he has a choice. he's got to try because a fourt for the biden coalition to be successful he has got to get young people to vote and young peo

this is ahead scratcher but what he said at the nra convention. let's take a look. >> he actually challenged me. you no, we will have debates with him. i think we are going to. he is still looking for the white stuff found in the white house. it never arrived, and never arrived. they can't find it. everybody thought it was for hunter. >> so he went off on that tangent but we will keep it straight here. who, potentially, risks more versus gaining more with the debates? >> it is in an interesting choice for both candidates. usually the candidate who is weakest is more eager to get on stage to change the dynamics. in this case, both seem eager to get on stage and both have weaknesses to address. president trump may be a convicted felon depending on what happens at the court in new york and if that happens, he wants to change the subject and look like a candidate and not a convicted criminal. for present biden who is weaker at the polls, particularly in the swing states, they want to remind voters they may be disenchanted with biden that there is dona

everything so much more expensive outside the nra event. protesters remain focused on the societal cost of gun violence which took more than 40,000 american lives last year. this is a faulty system. >> and as a mother as a concerned citizen. >> i demand action. >> and that was news nation's nancy loo reporting for us tonight from dallas. a new area code is coming to a big chunk of california. the change affects people who live in me 5, which stretches from the edge of the bay area all the way to the oregon border. the california public utilities commission says next year 8, 3, 7, will be added as an overlay to the 5, 3, oh, area code. the decision is because 5, numbers are expected to be exhausted by 2025, the change should only effect new services or when adding an additional line. a bill that would have scrutinized a new electricity charge for californians is not moving forward. the assembly appropriations committee killing that bill on friday. the public utilities commission led by governor newsom's appointees approved the new charge of

so steve, good to see you with all the controversy surrounding nra. how influential might this event b there's no question that the nra is not the same organization that endorsed donald trump for president eight years ago. >> it has been rocked by scandals, financial mismanagement, leadership shake-ups and we're talking to some republican strategist, one of them told us, quote, i haven't heard anything about the inra since i literally can't remember when. i just think they're not relevant anymore. now the question is though, can this organization still help donald trump in the trump campaign believes that it can his organization has it's been meeting with political operatives for the nra as part of this broader outreach, too conservative groups, trying to get all their ducks in a row before the summer and fall. and but, but the degree to which they can help is still in question. this organization gave donald trump or supported donald trump to the tune of 30 million in the 2016 election. it is not clear they have nearly that kind of money to spread aro

how influential is the nra expected to be in this presidential race fred eight years ago when the nra endorsed donald trump for president, few would have questioned the organizations influence in american politics now, that is come under threat by a series of scandals, financial mismanagement, leadership shake-ups that have not only questioned its relevance, but how much it's has two support donald trump in this upcoming election. >> this is an organization that spent upwards of 30 years ago helping donald trump defeat hillary clinton in 2016. it is unclear what kind of financial commitments they can make to donald trump. this go around now, donald trump for his part, he is standing by the embattled organization russian recently his campaign hosted a whole bunch of conservative organizations to talk about their strategy for the summer and fall, the nra and people are part of the array. we're part of those talks. >> trump has also said that he will be a second amendment president if elected again, he said he would unravel all the steps that president biden has done to address gun viole

let's go to jake trailer in dallas, where donald trump spoke last night at the nra convention. did the former president try to appeal to gunowners? >> reporter: last night the former president spoke right behind me at the annual convention and receive their endorsement despite the fact that he cannot legally purchase a firearm in the u.s. because he's facing multiple felony indictments. he was quick to bring that up and talked about the fact that his legal woes were come here to to gunowners having the rights stripped away. and he said the radical left are stripping away the rights. this is something common from him to take the courtroom and bring it on the campaign trail and compare his legal complications with the issues that voters face every day. i want to point to one assertion he made last night about gun owners saying they are not active in the political process and they don't take part in voting despite research that debunks that claim. but gunowners don't vote. i would think that they would vote more than any other group of people and it is just the opposite. they have
