next, republican congressman steve scalise of louisiana. he describes being wounded in the 2017 shooting at a practice for the annual congressional baseball game in virginia. >> steve scalise, what do you remember? >> i remember waking up excited about going to practice the day before the baseball game, just a great tradition and i was just announced to be the second base starter so i was excited about that. get out there early in the morning, work out with your colleagues in its lighthearted because the practice is already done, you just go through the motions of getting ready for the big game. all of a sudden, a shot goes out. you don't think it's a gunshot because why would somebody shoot a gun on the baseball field? by the time we figured out what was going on, i got hit. i went down. >> did you know you had gotten it? >> i knew my legs gave out. i wasn't sure, i didn't necessarily instantly feel it, i feel like something hit me but i wasn't thinking a bullet. i was down, in the gravel, in the infield and i just started crawling away. i

bill, steve scalise, congressman steve scalise, he has a lot of credibility on the issue of gun violenceer having been the victim of a horrible shooting himself. he spoke on the issues of exactly e what kim was talking about. let me just play that sound bite, get your reaction. >> in the end, all you end up doing is seeing more and more attempts to take away rights from law-abiding citizens. and keep in mind when nancy pelosi drew up the bill that she keeps talking about, that bill doesn't address any of these shootings. they want to take away people's guns. david: so when steve scalise, the victim of gun violence himself, talks about his fear of the government taking away guns, that has a lot of credibility. >> yeah. i think kim's right, and i think steve scalise is right. look, there's a lot of people who just don't trust the american people. what we increasingly see -- david: don't trust american politicians. >> well, no, they don't trust the american people, and one of the things they don't trust them with is guns. we behave as though the gun-owning part of the population is this tin

next, the republican congressman steve scalise of louisiana describes being wounded in the 2017 shooting at a practice for the annual congress of all baseball game in virginia. >> what do you remember about june 14, 2017? >> i remember waking up excited about going to practice. as the day before the congressional annual baseball game and a great tradition. i was just announced to be the second base starter so i was excited about that you get out there early in the morning working with your colleagues and it's kind of lighthearted because most of the real practice has already been done and you're just kind of going through the motions of getting ready for the game, and all of a sudden a shot goes out. you're not thinking it's a gunshot because why would somebody be shooting a gun on a baseball field. by the time we figured out what was going on, i got his and went down. >> did you know you had gotten his? >> i knew that my legs gave out. i didn't necessarily instantly feel i was hit by just felt like something hits me that i wasn't thinking a bullet. when my legs went out and i was down i

never blame barack obama for the police shootings in dallas, bernie sanders for the shooting of steve scalise. and quite frankly, it is ridiculous to try to make those connect in some way. you have to blame the people who pulled the trigger, those are the ones who are evil, those are the ones who are sick and mentally ill, and those are the ones that have to be dealt with. >> what about -- [speaking over each other] reporter: how is he spending his day-to-day? mr. gidley: he is meeting with staff on a wide range of policies, having conversations and prepping for his trip to these communities. this is a very, very serious moment in our country's history. this president recognizes the gravity of this moment. you saw that manifest in his speech in the diplomat room. and what he wanted to convey to the american people was the fact that he shares in their sadness, but also their anger. and he also offered solutions and made the point we can come out of this stronger together and unified, if we come together and we put forth solutions that actually make a difference and a change. this is not about

so we're 0 for 2 on steve scalise. let's figure it out and get it fixed.minority leader. here is mitch mcconnell talking about gun control. >> we want to see if we can achieve something on a bipartisan basis. i don't want to just engage in finger pointing or making a point. what's happened after every one of these shootings there has been a temptation to just engage in political discourse rather than actually passing something. you make a law right now, you have to pass the house, has to get 60 votes in the senate. and has to be signed by president trump. so that means these discussions need to occur. >> bill: they will occur come september. julie talked with kayleigh mcenany on this, too. >> the president stands by the second amendment. no greater proponent of the second amendment. we have to look at the mental health aspect of this and what these red playing laws do. they differ from state to state. >> bill: is it red flags? what is it, sir? >> you've got a number of things being looked at but the first thing you have to keep in mind when speaker pelosi

i don't blame bernie sanders for what happened to steve scalise.ve scalise does not blame bernie sanders. i don't blame elizabeth warren for dayton. i don't blame president trump for el paso. if we use this logic of the left, every single illegal immigrant that kills an american, everyone that dies from drugs that cross the border, every single sexual assault, violent assault by an illegal immigrant against america based on their logic, we should blame them. i don't blame them. i can understand there might be some honest political differences or politicizing building the wall but, this is what is predictable. the media, the democrats will use any and every opportunity to bludgeon president trump. if he cured cancer, they would find a way to spin it into him being a horrible person. >> and blaming trump in this situation as you mentioned, i blaming the president, it's very predictable and i think the american people are onto it. however, morning counsel poll found that 64% of the voters polled say the media has done more to divide the country. 17%,

we now turn to the number-two republican in the house, steve scalise. he joins thus morning from new orleans. good morning, congressman. >> good morning, margaret. good to be with you. >> brennan: president trump says he wants meaningful background checks. why aren't you supporting him on that? >> first of all, i have supported him on that. in fact, we got a bill to president trump's desk last year which truly does go after some of the real problems we saw where people were falling through the cracks and not getting into the background system, like so many shootings, like charleston and others. the president said he wants the make sure that people with mental illnesses don't get guns. in fact, there were a lot of people we were finding that weren't getting put into the system. we need to keep working on that and make the background check system work better. we passed a very bipartisan bill to do just that and donald trump signed it into law last year. let's focus on making that work better so a lot of these people that slip through the cracks don't slip

. >> reporter: louisiana congressman, steve scalise, who survived an attack. >> we need to make sure that the fbi and the department of homeland security go and route out if it's white supremacists or radicals from thecommitting . >> reporter: here in iowa, voters agree that gun laws need changes. but they want to hear about other topics. >> the small amount of legislation that the democrats are asking for is not much. >> you can talk about red flags and background checks. the bottom line is that we have weapons of war in people's hands that don't need them. >> i don't like the mud slinging. here, i think we have iowa nice. >> voters get a more detailed look at what the presidential campaigns. what are they saying they're interested in or concerned about? >> well, for one thing, they're overwhe overwhelmed. two dozen candidates in the race. you ask them to mention a candidate or two, they mention that joe rodeo... and let me tell you something, i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. it

here to explain why it's no laughing matter, congressman steve scalise. you nearly lost her life to a would-be assassin. so what your response here, did the state senator acquitted himself well in his apologetic comment? >> it's good to be back with you. i'm glad the senator at least owned up and took ownership and said it was wrong. what disappoints me is you don't see any kind of outrage from the left. you don't see any kin presidentl candidates from the left. or socialists who are fighting to see who's going up against donald trump. you don't see any of them denouncing it and that's really why where it should start. the leadership at the top of the democratic party has been noticeably silent, and the big take away from this is, they are encouraging it and they are okay with it and it's dangerous. they need to stop and, we surely disagreed with a lot of his policies. we respected the office and stood up against anyone is that anything derogatory or negative. and those were many cases where we were very vocal against that kind of language but we were res

next, republican congressman steve scalise of louisiana. he describes being wounded in the 2017 shooting at a practice for the annual congressional baseball game in virginia. >> steve scalise, what do you

what about red flag laws, would the guy who shot steve scalise, would he have been picked up?d to say, john. i mean, it's impossible for me to say. what i think the inquiry should be is would these laws catch other potential shooters, and are they reasonable restrictions. to my mind, they don't have any kind of intrusion at all on reasonable law-abiding gun owners. i don't think it's a proper objection that the law or the regulations could be abused, or the courts could make bad decisions. if that was the reason not to take action then we would never take action. it would be nice to get rid of all of the politics, and i do agree with congressman scalise, the issue is what works. we ought to try to get past these hysteria and get down to the business of empirically what would help us reduce the shootings. >> very good advice from andy mccarthy, thank you. >> thank you, john, have a great weekend. >> you, too. up next nbc universal pulls the plug on marketing a controversial movie about hunting deployables for sport. is it too little too late? >> every year a bunch of elites kid

steve scalise is a perfect example. these are human beings have lives.the political sign, donors, also osprey one of our fundamental rights in america is the right of the secret ballot. before that, people's jobs and safety were threatened because of who they voted for. this modern day doxxing is nothing more than that. it puts people's personal safety and it puts in some places their career and livelihood in jeopardy. for member of congress to do this as if it some sort of noble act, "let me expose these people," it's fundamentally despicable. i will go farther. there's an annual rite of waiting for them to declare for a governor or senate. they don't fight, they backed out of every major fight that comes up in the state of texas. they are nowhere to be found unless there is an opportunity to go out and embarrass their constituents. and they act like they're doing something noble here, it's absolutely awful. >> melissa: have we heard from castro that he's going to give back the monies that donor who came forward and said, "wait a second, i also donated

. >> almost killed steve scalise, shot a capital police officer, shot two other individuals at a baseball practice and he turned out to be an ardent bernie sanders supporter and raged on the internet and social media against donald trump's policies. should we blame bernie sanders? nobody in their right mind would suggest so. how about elizabeth warren? turns out the guy in ohio apparently was a fan of hers. self-proclaimed leftist, a fan of bernie sanders. praised nt five. again, attacked president trump and his policies. should we blame them simply because he was a supporter of theirs and a fan of theirs? know, i've been out. but that's where we come in our society and our politics has broken enough. this is not something that we should find acceptable for political candidates, particularly ones were struggling down there and trying to get attention to point the finger and say the president of the united states is directly responsible for somebody who has committed a heinous act in el paso and a heinous act in dayton, ohio. >> shannon: a lot of the folks i talked to in your article is ex

republican representative steve scalise describes being wounded the 2017 shooting. >> eric and dylan were the two killers in the "columbine". eric was a psychopath and dylan was not. i spent ten years on this book. why did they do it? was the most common question. there's eric, why he did it and then there's dylan, they are completely different people. >> eric was a psychopath. he was the mastermind. he spent a couple of years trying to figure out how he could destroy the entire world. wipe out humanity, psychopaths dwell on life as well as death. a god can deflect and take it away. they are as important as god. in keeping with a psychopath, no compassion, no empathy, no regard for the welfare of others. it's just about meeting their own needs. conmen, crooked politicians, you might think of a few recent ones that come to mind. someone who would destroy other peoples lives or a straight or a country. typically non- violent. but when they have a sadistic streak, too, then you get ted bundy, jeffrey dahmer or eric. then dylan, dylan is completely different. polar opposite. dylan went a

steve scalise says i've been the target of such attacks and what he's done is called doxing.nformation is publicly available but you have to do digging and have to dig in the county and who supported who. it's not easy to get. >> bill: it's not obvious, right? >> no, he took the information which requires a lot of research and put a list together and put a bow on it on the internet for anybody to use and let's hope somebody like the guy from el paso doesn't use it and the people are fueling hate against immigrant. it's irresponsible for a public servant. >> bill: steve scalise said people should not be personally targeted for person views it's not a game. it's dangerous. that's your quote and lives are at stake. i know his first-hand, end of tweet. he knows better than anyone. >> he was on another network and talked about how a bernie sanders supporter targeted him and he doesn't blame bern e-sanders but it's the same week the brother of a member of congress put out a target list, a target list of people who support the president said they're feeling hate. we have to stop thi

steve scalise said he tried to draw a direct line between trump supporters and the massacre.t's insane eye hyper partisanship, it's a 60sness. the man who shot me on the baseball field was a volunteer for senator bernie sanders. i don't blame mr. sanders for that. we lost kimberly strassel. if we get kimberly back, we'll have her back on the show. stocks in rally mode. >> it was a good day for the markets. the dow closing up 371 points. this is after a very volatile week so far. the 10-year yield stabilizing. no headlines out of china to shake things up. and earnings were pretty strong. all eyes were on uber after the bell today. earnings were spare, a loss of $4.72. both of those metrics were under those estimates. news corp reporting finally today e of 7 cents higher than expectations. the top line revenue number slightly off.

today representative steve scalise from louisiana defended the president against the democratic attackpresident was very clear just the other day that there's no place for this he spoke out against racism i spoke out against these kind of attacks in so to a try to assign blame. you know go look at some of these presidential candidates who made some of the most a ridiculous statements, i mean joe biden just said that he was vice president when the parkland kids came and met with him he wasn't vice president. you know some of these things that are being said are are beyond ridiculous. i know they're running for president they might not like donald trump's views but a stop this this ridiculous truck assessment of blame to somebody other than the person who is responsible. president trump also spoke out this week urging lawmakers to give them a bill. >>calling for background checks on firearm. closer to home investigators have determined the grass fire in lake county started from a pdiscarded cigarette, the eagl fire burned 20 acres and is now 95% contained started thursday long so to bay

liz: steve scalise says this is dangerous. lives are at stake. a gunman opened fire at a republican practice. here is the fallout that no one is covering. having covered the irs and political audits of enemies of presidents. when obama, when the obama campaign did the same thing to mitt romney, 8 donors to mitt romney, one of those donors, 8 of those donors the obama campaign exposed them for donating to mitt romney. one of them got audited by the irs and the labor department went after another. >> it's completely unfair. i am glad to see some people in the media calling him out. but i have to think if this were the opposite and a republican had done this. the fallout would be much more severe and this story tbhobt news for a lot longer than it will be. but kudos to those journalists who are being honest and calling them out. this is a dangerous path to go down. targeting every day americans for supporting a certain candidate and shaping them. it puts lives at risk and it's scary. liz: we'll have more on this tomorrow. kimberly strassel will join

this is steve scalise after he was wounded in 2017. this is a shot we found of the congressional baseball practice in virginia. this was 2017 in june. he returned to the house floor after being seriously wounded. he returned in september and made a speech. here is a portion of that speech. [video clip] >> we come here and fight for the things we believe in. i have passed and beliefs. for some reason, some of you do not agree with all of those. [laughter] >> but it is so important we come here. this is the people's house. this is where the issues are to be debated. we fight through the issues. ultimately, we come together. if you can put the majority together, that is what rules the day. it is so important as we are having those political battles we do not make them personal. this is the thing that kept coming back to me as i tried to make sense of all of this and comprehending the outpouring of love that i saw. i kept coming back to those world leaders. why would leaders from around the world that i have never met before reach out and

ask steve scalise in congress pointed out that this divisive rhetoric and hatred caused him to be shotnd almost lose his life. he is still disabled from that. it is really troubling, he needs to look inside and take a timeout from twitter. jillian: let's talk about this for a second before we let you go. we heard a lot the last few years about the president's tax returns. a group of bipartisan voters are suing california over its new law keeping donald trump off of the state ballot unless he releases those tax returns. is this constitutional? >> i am the lawyer for the republican voters who said yesterday in addition to the national committee in california state party. the president filed a lawsuit in sacramento. it is totally unconstitutional, let me count the ways. the qualifications clause of the constitution sets the exclusive qualifications to run for president and only that you have to be 35, a natural born citizen and have lived in the united states for 14 years. this law also burdens the first amendment rights to associate with republicans in the republican party and vote for t

>> including their addresses as well and as we know that has proven dangerous on many counts, steve scalise was targeted at baseball practice and baseball games, he said i know this is dangerous. democrats continue to slam donald trump for his visit to dayton and el paso. you said they need to stop this. what will happen if they don't? how will americans respond when it comes to the election? >> when it comes to the election we know one thing to be true. wholeheartedly. donald trump is going to win a second term. unfortunately for democrats in their never-ending trump derangement syndrome they have yet to accept the results of the 2016 election. you see across the board with democrat socialist party at this point, you see them continuing investigations on the president's election, you see them calling him a possibly russian spy for years and this is a president who has nothing more than try to stand as commander-in-chief is the chief executive of this country to stand and bring us together. beto said i'm not thinking politics and in the same breath calls the president a white supremacist. t

york city simply for wearing a maga hat remember the shot up synagogue in pittsburgh, congressman steve scalise was shot by a bernie bro and i.c.e. facility was fire bombed now did you hear media blaming maxine waters omar, bernie, or aoc for these crimeses? or their cruise violent rhetoric? >> we were in high school i would take him behind gym and beat the hell out of him. , of course, i want to punch him in the face. yeah. >> i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house. smg when was last time an actor assassinated a president? >> i will go out and take trump out tonight. [applause] we remember the cav thy griffin thing. none of that puts a target on anyone's back? so everything now that left accuses trump of doing they're doing themselves. congressman joaquin castro tweeted out list of trump donors in san antonio texas and their businesses. accusing them of fueling a hate campaign. so let me get this straight. trump counter punches political opponents in the arena of ideas, and media say he's putting them in danger? but castro literally puts a target on civic minded civilians

don't forget what happened to steve scalise. it takes two to tango.>> you and i both called him out on his language. trish: he's a much strong and thorough approach than that. good to see you. a presidential -- the president calling for social media companies to help detect mass shooters before they strike. that would be nice, right? but first far left talk show host bill maher says 2020 democrats are totally screwing up. >> all they have to do to win is come off less crazy than trump. and they are blowing it. with sofi, get your credit cards right- by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. and get your interest rate right. so you can save big. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k. content on their endless quest, to nowhere.s, run hopelessly in their cage. but perhaps this year, a more exhilarating endeavor awaits. defy the laws of human nature,at the summer of audi sales event. get exceptional offers now. ♪ i want it that way... i can't believe it. that karl brought his karaoke machine? ♪ ain't nothing but a heartache... ♪ no

much of the coverage of that was proven incorrect, you go to gabi shooting, steve scalise, blame is placed mistakenly and you have to reserve judgment and talk about real policy issues. >> wait for the facts. now in the days leading up to these two mass shootings and in texas and ohio the news was dominated on the trump's attacks on city of baltimore. >> embracing telling us he plans to run a racist reelection campaign. >> for someone like me proud baltimorean, born in baltimore, still call that area home. >> once again the media call president trump racist this time for exposing the obvious that baltimore's democratic machine has failed their city. my friends it's not trump who has given up on urban america, calling him a racist have. >> seems to be a turning point that we didn't see after charlottesville. he sends racist tweets rather than, you know, use language like -- the media seems to be taking a stand on president trump on this volatile issue. >> okay n a single week you had the cincinnati rally, right, he did not necessarily call out the squad of the four women of color who were s

we wouldn't blame bernie sanders for the shooting of steve scalise or other republicans. >> today nbc news reported that several federal agencies charged with fighting domestic terrorism are struggling to do that mostly because of cuts in funding and personnel. tonight a spokesperson tells nbc news the committee members are mulling over an early return from their six week summer recess to address gun violence. given all that, here for our leadoff discussion on a tuesday night, jonathan la mere, white house reporter for the associated press. kimberly atkins, and katie benner, justice department reporter for the new york times. jonathan, i'd like to begin with you because of some one of your colleagues has posted tonight. a preekt frequent guest of ours. it has to do with the overall empathy deficit going into tomorrow about the president. she says the words he offers for a divided america will be complicated by his own incendiary anti-immigrant rhetoric that mirrors language linked to one of the shooters. it is a highly unusual predicament for an american president to at once try to co

were coming from fox news' hosts, from fox news' guests and high-ranking republican lawmakers, steve scalisecoback. they're dipping into language that were out of -- >> that notion of invasion, that's not language that was used decades ago. >> very little. pat buchannan, when he ran these outside campaigns for president, he did talk about an illegal immigration. it was seen as extreme rhetoric. it was not absorbed by the mainstream republican party. if you remember after mitt romney lost, there was the idea of embracing hispanics by the republican party. >> it's in the "new york times." thank you so much. appreciate it. >>> a question dividing voters, is the president a racist. anthony scaramucci offering his own take next. we're oscar mayer deli fresh and you may know us from... your very first sandwich, your mammoth masterpiece. and...whatever this was. because we make our meat with the good of the deli and no artificial preservatives. make every sandwich count with oscar mayer deli fresh. too many people a restless night's sleep. there's a better choice. aleve pm. the only one to combine

congressman steve scalise will tell us why this is no laughing matter. next. >> laura: hundreds of masked antifa thugs descended on portland, oregon, over the weekend.while it wasn't what thy expected, the camera still captured some pretty shocking violence from the roving bands of bullies.[bl] >> hey, hale! >> get him out of here! >> to liberals and the mainstream media, though, they were just people exercising their constitutional rights. >> it's not surprising that trump would side away from the folks who were the peaceful protesters working to safeguard their city from domestic terrorism. >>>> the idea that this was goig to turn into a massive, violent protest, that did not happen. >> they shouted at each other and, for the most part, the made lot of noise. >> tell that to the older man that was thrown to the ground and stomped on. or the your and ill who recorded what you just saw. he said those peaceful protesters pepper sprayed him three times. tell us about what you saw that even may be the video couldn't capture the weekend. >> thank you for hav

jeremy, why haven't kevin mccarthy, steve scalise considered expulsion. >> the republican party behavesway when one of their members -- >> not liz cheney. >> right. >> absolutely strong and fierce on this. she was when he made his comments about white supremacy. it take as woman in the republican caucus and leadership to speak out when the men won't? >> apparently it does. her comments saying he has to go is striking. we haven't seen something like that from the republican leadership about him or about other members of congress in the republican party who have said offensive things. i think that's a significant step here. i think that, you know, as far as democrats are concerned, you know, they need steve king in the picture. as much as republicans need rashida tlaib and ihlan omar in the picture. both of these stories are interesting puddling up on the same day. you have the version that the other party wants its opponents to see, right? so i think the more steve king is out there in the news, the better that is for democrats because they're reminded that by and large with the exceptio

don't forget what happened to steve scalise. it takes two to tango. now. >> you and i both called him out on his language. trish: he's a much strong and thorough approach than that. good to see you. a presidential -- the president calling for social media companies to help detect mass shooters before they strike. that would be nice, right? but first far left talk show host bill maher says 2020 democrats are totally screwing up. >> all they have to do to win is come off less crazy than trump. and they are blowing it. ♪ i want it that way... i can't believe it. that karl brought his karaoke machine? ♪ ain't nothing but a heartache... ♪ no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. ♪ i never wanna hear you say... ♪ no, kevin... no, kevin! believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. geico could save you fifteen percent managingaudrey's on it.s? eating right and staying active? on it! audrey thinks she's doing all she can to manage her type 2 diabetes and heart disease, but is

attempted assassination of 23 republicans not so long ago, seriously, almost fatally injuring steve scalise. we are in this heightened time. it seems like there's an alternate reality.s most americans i think you would agree, they don't believe what it is they're hearing in this rhetoric. do you think it's dangerous or w do you think it's impacting the way americans are viewing the reality that surrounds all of us?s >> i think the american people know that in times of political activity, people can capitalize on these moments of tragedy for their own gain. it's awful to see that, but obviously we have seen it unfold with the way the mainstream media and some democraticha presidential candidates have responded. i've got to say it's marianne williamson who actually came forward and said there's no direct connection between the president and these acts of violence. she believes there is a direct connection between how the moon and stars align and our mood. she couldn't find a direct connection. i think the president, his hospitality background contributes to his desire to bring warmth the peop
