President Trump firing up another big crowd today this time at the annual NRA
convention in Dallas we are all finally putting America first we are seeing the
incredible results as a result of our massive tax cuts and everybody is
benefiting and everybody is happy and the Democrats are very concerned you
watch how well we do in 18 you watch get out don't be complacent Kanye West must
have some power because you probably saw I double my African American poll
numbers we went from 11 to 22 in one week Thank You Kanye thank you you saw
the recent fall it came out the rest this is 51 or 52 it's the highest level
Democratic lawmakers have voted against legislation to close deadly immigration
loopholes like catch and release how about that one we caught him oh release
him bye-bye we're going to keep the violent
criminals out Senate Democrats like John tester and so what happened there what
he did to one of the finest people in our country what he did to the Advil
what he did is a disgrace he went on to expound on the subject of gun rights in
a speech before thousands of Second Amendment supporters and thank them for
their patriotism watch this the true American patriots of the NRA who defend
our rights Liberty and our great American flag you have never stopped
fighting for our beloved constellations they said you know going
through the NRA convention and speaking today that'll be very controversial it
might not be popular you know what I said but I gotta get on the plane all
right we'll take it around the table Greg he was having some fun today yeah I
always used the metaphor he's like a classic rock band who does
hits in front of a loving crowd you know like the the wall is his stairway to
heaven but he introduced some new hits the Kanye is a new song and the best
part without question is the John Kerry material that he introduced which was
stellar comedy roast when he talked about Yale when you're 73 you shouldn't
be riding a bike and about how he felt it was this perfect stuff and I always
find it I mean this to him is entertainment for himself and
entertainment for others and it's an what I guess it's an antidote to the
news because when you're listening to the news all you're getting is the bad
news you're getting the stormy stuff and the collusion accusations but when you
when he gets up there what he does is he talks about the job numbers he talks
about North Korea he talks about the good news which is the antidote to the
bad news so it's kind of healthy for him and it's healthy for his supporters and
it's actually healthy for people watching at home to see the other side
well if you're watching Fox I don't know if the other networks took it live but
we did and so it's in some ways I'm the bully pulpit really is very powerful if
you're going to give a speech in front of a big crowd and your get a chance to
watch it it means a lot more than watching any sort of newscast and
absolute it's perfectly produced and I think a good plug for your book and the
good news is right so he's leading with what the good news is he's changing the
dialogue and the narrative because the media won't give it to him so he's gonna
take it and take charge so he's very good when he's at these campaign rallies
speeches or in front of a group that's a receptive audience that kind of you know
they're picking up what he's dropping so it's perfect um he really feels at home
in a situation like that as well I I actually watched in a room that had
MSNBC and CNN on it and there were a couple of interesting things first of
all it's the president's only time with unfettered access to actually
communicate his message but I was fascinated because there were cutaways
there were times when the audience was applauding and the audience would you
know Donald Trump had stopped speaking for 15-20 seconds because there's so
much applause Fox News went to cutaways of the audience to show what was
actually happening in the room CNN and MSNBC no cutaways there's no way they
were going to show that audience but let's remember going into 2018 it's
about getting the base enthused and that's the problem he's spent a whole
section of his speech talking about the enthusiasm level and you better if you
like your second better a good point about the midterms upon going into them
that that's never necessarily easy for a president in their first midterm they
usually lose seats and even though he's approval with Republicans is high
probably highest that it's been maybe like I think it's 88% 90% that doesn't
always translate into enthusiasm and getting out to vote and do you think
that was part of his ploy today that's clear if you watch the speech that's
clearly what he was saying don't be complacent we just played that clip Dana
but so what was interesting to me is if you consider the midterms you look at
the poll numbers poll numbers have turned in favor of gun control very
strongly and after Park Lane remember the president was in the White House I
think we carried it here on Fox having a meeting and saying you know what I think
we need stronger gun control you guys he says to the others in the you guys are
afraid of the NRA I'm not afraid of the NRA and of course then about five days
later he flip-flops but nonetheless he's trying to make the case that he is the
man who the NRA poured 30 million dollars into and during his campaign and
that he is still the NRA friend I think where after he got elected he said you
know you were with me and I will always be with you were you surprised by they
didn't talk a little bit more about that like what he did he said he was willing
to go to challenge the NRA but I think one of the things that the President
does is he says well that makes sense and then a couple days I was like oh
wait now I understand why it for example arming school teachers might not be
something you can do nationally that that will have to be decided on a
case-by-case basis on in the district I think that the the blessing and the
challenge of Donald Trump II sees like the first conversational president we've
ever had so he'll just talk about anything and if something of a
happens he'll talk about a and he goes you know what that upsets me what just
happened and then it be happened so go well wait a second I mean he may he went
on a long tear on how if one person has a gun lives would be saved in areas
where there were no guns and it's you know there's a CDC Study Center for
Disease Control study that was not published that supports the claims of
two million-plus defensive gun uses and this isn't this is an important thing my
thing fell out to talk about so he did it but I always get the sense that the
speech is essentially the same and then he tweaks it depending on the it's for
the NRA so he drops like ten minutes of that in the NRA but that was I think
there was a stock positive speech about deeds overall it was about deeds in the
face of what you get from the media which are words what you know I think
the the whole gun movement the NRA right now is on the defensive gun sales down
Smith and Weston are the ones who I think are saying you know what you know
they also outdoor brands there's the outdoor brands make Smith and Weston's
their stocks are down Remington's in bankruptcy I think they're a lot there's
a sense that you have a Republican in office so it's not driving the the gun
buyers to the gun stores which is what a you know but they said Obama's gonna
take your gun well now nobody think you should be happy for them because that
meant we've saturated the market everything guns but what strikes me is
that so many people including teachers who are clearly opposed to carrying guns
into school are including suburban Heights are saying you know in the at in
the aftermath of parkland maybe something should change and then that
brought up what I think was the controversial issue regarding the
President's speech today and also a vice president pence which is the Secret
Service said no guns in here and so you get people even NRA supporters who are
attending the convention saying wait a minute they don't trust the good guys
with the guns how can that be well you can see why if so many Americans would
say of course not you shouldn't have a gun around the present you shouldn't
have guns around you have people in the room with guns
one other thing the president discussed and it's Greg's favorite part he
mentioned it in the opening remarks about North Korea take a listen to this
the last administration had a policy of silence don't you make don't talk if a
horrible statement is made and we have the former administration not the best
negotiator he never walked away from the table except to be in that bicycle race
where he fell and broke his leg at 73 years old you never go into a bicycle
race so say Justin we're saying this is going to be nuclear war
you know get your weakness one of his strengths Jason I think is that he uses
humor to then make a point his point being that you being strong against your
enemies yeah well bring them to the table and that's that that's actually
search for strength you remember when Barack Obama he what he said he was big
into skeet shooting and they had pictures of him out there you know
pretending to shoot skeet and then he had John Kerry supposedly out deal
pheasant hunting nobody ever bought into that but Donald Trump he has this
authenticity that connects people even though he doesn't pretend to go and do
that right yeah fake it yeah yeah this was great I think for him he felt like
he gets back into his element to his groove he right away you know this is
something coming in the aftermath of the Parkland shootings he was able to go in
front of the NRA which is taking a lot of criticism lately there's a lot of
people trying to abolish the Second Amendment get after your guns he went
straight to them to the crowd because he then invited people to the White House
have this discussion too and I thought that was important to show that he's
listening to both sides people who were concerned about gun safety gun violence
and then going right to the group that's trying to protect the Second Amendment
so I like it's right up you know in your face and not afraid to answer questions
and talk and get to the issues so I think he's got to do something with
Republicans because I mean you look at what happened in Florida and you know
you're looking at other states some with Republicans Kasich in Ohio but you look
at Vermont you look at Oregon more and more Republicans are saying yeah we buy
into the fact that most Americans now overwhelmingly want some reasoned gun
control it's not about taking anybody's guns away I don't think anybody's
talking about well a lot of people are talking about this is success if there's
law just need to be well there you go no I said I stinked former Supreme Court
justice Stevens said something like that in the op-ed but it's not the kids it's
not the parking kids and it's not most Americans what you're seeing in terms of
the 60 Plus percent who want more gun control is better background checks
maybe a Nancy Pelosi in charge and that's exactly what has happened they
will do everything they can to take away guns and everything that would work
against that just politically for thinking Nancy Pelosi might want to do
that but as soon as you're done with the midterm election we're talking about the
general election correct and if Nancy Pelosi were to do that how you want to
make sure that Republicans really turnout in 2020
Nancy Pelosi should try to pass a gun control that means it and that's part of
the reason there's frustration that Congress never gets anything done can I
just return to that video that we played of him talking about John Kerry if you
noticed he did the panicky man impersonation which is when he moves his
hands like this it's a lesson for all of us that it's not a it's not specific to
any particular person he does that but that's not the same thing as yes it is
if you look back same thing pretty much pretty close i okay I didn't plan on
talking about that all right before taking off for Dallas the president
spoke to reporters directly about whether he'll agree to a sit-down with
Robert fuller his answer next
we're on Friday night a pair of jeans that fit just right
