following in the lower portion of the screen, donald trump taking the stage, being introduced by wayne lapierre and getting the endorsement of the nra, as he is now going to speak before thousands of people that will be attending the convention in louisville, kentucky over the weekend. this is the 145th meeting of the nra, their annual convention. they anticipate over 70,000 people coming and 800 different exhibits set up in a different area outside the room where most of the speakers will be talking to crowds later today. let's listen to donald trump and his remarks. >> i've been a member for a long time. my boys are members. they're much better shooters than i am. they know more about guns -- i don't know, there might be two or three people in this room, believe it or not, not many. to get the endorsement, believe me, is a fantastic honor. [ applause ] >> i just said to wayne and i just said to chris, will not let you down. remember that. i will not let you down. [ applause ] >> you know, i wrote a few remarks and i'm going to actually read them because we go into a little detail. but i will

the ones wayne lapierre doesn't represent.has been "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] we have so many wonderful guests on the show. and one of the things we've been asking our guests to do over the last couple of months is record a message to their younger selves. so tonight we want to share some of those with you. and we're gonna start with a message from lena dunham. ♪ >> and now, a message to my younger self with lena dunham. >> hey, little lena. this world is full of magic and wonder. you're going to live life to the fullest, and one tv show about four friends will change your life forever. that show is called "teenage mutant ninja turtles." [ laughter ] basically you're just gonna rip it off wholesale. hannah, marney, jessa, and shosh are pretty much just donatello, raphael, leonardo, and michelangelo but with vaginas. [ laughter ] so in a couple years when you're in a pitch meeting with hbo, you just blurt out "teenage mutant ninja turtles but the turtles are girls." they'll give you a blank check faster than you

we see wayne lapierre speaking and we expect donald trump to come up following his remarks. take you there when that happens. >>> the other big story is the zika virus, president obama callingen congress for funding. nick m jim miklaszewski joins me now. the white house and congress have been at odds and now the cdc say 300 women are being observed for having the azika virus m. 0 are are virus. what's the president's next move? >> he said in the oval office before a press corps, there's no reason to panic. there's not an epidemic of zika in the united states. currently there are 500 cases contracted while people were traveling and none from mosquito bites in the united states and 10 cases contracted during sexual intercourse. he did try to light a fire under congress, though, to come up with a 1$1.9 billion that all te president's health advisors say is necessary for research into mosquito control, diagnosis and development of effective vacc e vaccines. he's particularly concerned because congress is due to go out on recess in a few weeks. he's afraid that they won't come up

he will follow remarks by wayne lapierre of the nra. quick question about the democrats.he issue of guns, an issue we saw the split. and we saw it in great relief when hillary clinton called out bernie sanders what seems like ages ago on the campaign for his voting record representing the rural state of vermont. >> vermont is mixed between the people who grew up there as yankees and what they call flat landers who moved there from new york and other places. clearly, it's a gun state. states lie kentucky and pennsylvania where they're very sensitive. progressives have to come to grips with the fact the inconvenient truth the right to bear arms is right there after the freedom of speech of religion and press and freedom from search and having to testify against yourself. it's benched in there and real. you say you're going to take away people's guns or talk about it or seem like that, you're in big trouble. even the careful people like pat toomey and joe manchin are exquisite saying we will have something on the gun shows or something on gun safety but never hear that word
