THE POLICE SHOOTING OF JACOB 
BLAKE AND THE AFTERMATH OF 
PROTESTS AND COUNTERPROTESTS IN 
THE DAYS SINCE.
THE PRESIDENT ON THE GROUND

GUNMAN CHARGED WITH KILLING TWO 
PROTESTERS THIS WEEKEND HOURS 
AFTER THE PRESIDENT COMPARED THE
OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE 
SHOOTING TO GOLFERS WHO CHOKE, 
MISSING A THREE-FOOT PUTT.
MEANWHILE JACOB BLAKE'S FAMILY 
GATHERED AT THE SCENE WHERE HE 
WAS SHOT IN THE BACK SEVEN TIMES
BUT DID NOT MEET WITH THE 
PRESIDENT.
ALEX PEREZ WAS COVERING IT ALL 
AND STARTS OFF FROM WISCONSIN.
>> Reporter: DESPITE LOCAL 
OFFICIALS TELLING HIM TO 
POSTPONE HIS TRIP, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN 
TODAY TOURING A BUILDING 
DESTROYED IN PROTESTS AFTER THE 
POLICE SHOOTING OF JACOB BLAKE.
MET BY SUPPORTERS AND PROTESTERS
HE PUSHED HIS LAW AND ORDER 
MESSAGE. 
>> WE HAVE TO CONDEMN THE 
DANGEROUS, ANTIPOLICE RHETORIC.
IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE.
IT IS VERY UNFAIR.
YOU HAVE SOME BAD APPLES.
WE ALL KNOW THAT.
THOSE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF 
THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND NOBODY IS
GOING TO BE EASY ON THEM EITHER.
AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT JOKE. 
>> Reporter: REPEATING HIS 
SUGGESTION THAT THE POLICE 
OFFICER WHO SHOT BLAKE SEVEN 
TIMES IN THE BACK, QUOTE, CHOKED
AFTER COMPARING HIM TO A GOLFER 
MISSING A PUTT.
>> SHOOTING A GUY IN THE BACK 
THAT MANY TIMES COULDN'T YOU 
HAVE DONE SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
THEY CHOKE.
JUST LIKE IN A GOLF TOURNAMENT.
THEY MISS A THREE-FOOT PUTT. 
>> YOU ARE NOT COMPARING IT TO 
GOLF.
>> I'M SAYING PEOPLE CHOKE.
>> Reporter: JUST BLOCKS FROM 
THE PRESIDENT'S EVENT THE BLAKE 
FAMILY HOSTING A DAY OF 
COMMUNITY SERVICE AT THE SITE OF
THE SHOOTING.
>> ALL I ASK IS THAT HE KEEP HIS
DISRESPECT, HIS FOUL LANGUAGE 
FAR AWAY FROM MY FAMILY.
>> HE IS NOT MEETING WITH YOU OR
THE BLAKE FAMILY.
WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO YOU?
>> WE'RE NOT MAD.
HE'S GOT AN AGENDA AND WE GOT 
ONE, TOO.
OUR AGENDA IS TO GET JUSTICE. 
>> Reporter: THE WISCONSIN DOJ 
INVESTIGATION INTO BLAKE'S 
SHOOTING IS STILL UNDER WAY AND 
17-YEAR-OLD KYLE RITTENHOUSE WHO
IS ACCUSED OF KILLING TWO 
DEMONSTRATORS REMAINS IN 
CUSTODY.
AHEAD OF HIS VISIT HERE THE 
PRESIDENT DEFENDED RITTENHOUSE 
>> I GUESS HE WAS IN VERY BIG 
TROUBLE.
HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN 
KILLED. 
>> Reporter: ALSO CONDEMNING THE
FATAL SHOOTING IN PORTLAND OF A 
MAN WEARING A BLUE LIVES MATTER 
FLAG AND REPORTEDLY A HAT 
BELONGING TO A RIGHT WING GROUP.

THEY SHOT HIM IN THE STREET AND 
WERE SO HAPPY HE DIED. 
>> Reporter: REPEATING AN 
UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIM THAT 
SO-CALLED THUGS PLANNED TO FLY 
TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION TO 
INCITE UNREST.
>> PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY LOOKING FOR 
TROUBLE. 
>> Reporter: WHEN ASKED HE 
PROVIDED NO EVIDENCE.
WHEN PRESSED ABOUT THE 
DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST RACIAL 
INJUSTICE SWEEPING THE NATION, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP PAINTED MOST 
PROTESTERS AS AGITATORS.
DO YOU BELIEVE SYSTEMIC RACISM 
IS A PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY?
>> YOU KNOW, YOU KEEP GETTING 
BACK TO THE OPPOSITE SUBJECT.
WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE KIND OF
VIOLENCE WE'VE SEEN IN PORTLAND 
AND HERE AND OTHER PLACES.
IT'S TREMENDOUS VIOLENCE. 
>> ALEX PEREZ JOINING US NOW 
FROM WISCONSIN.
YOU WERE THERE WITH JACOB 
BLAKE'S FAMILY.
WHAT ELSE DID THEY HAVE TO SAY 
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT AND GIVE US 
A SENSE HOW PROTESTERS AND THE 
PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS REACTED 
TO HIS VISIT.
>> Reporter: WELL, IT WAS REALLY
THE TALE OF TWO CITIES HERE, TWO
SEPARATE EVENTS HAPPENING 
SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THE PRESIDENT 
WAS TOURING SOME OF THE DAMAGED 
AREAS AND JACOB BLAKE'S FAMILY 
WAS HAVING THEIR OWN EVENT, A 
COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENT 
HAPPENING JUST BLOCKS APART.
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE AT ONE EVENT
WERE NOT AT THE OTHER.
THAT IS JUST A SIGN OF HOW 
DIVIDED THINGS ARE HERE AT THE 
MOMENT.
AS THE PRESIDENT WAS MAKING HIS 
WAY INTO TOWN WE DID SEE A 
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO LINED THE 
STREETS, HOLDING SIGNS, 
SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT.
A FEW BLOCKS AWAY JACOB BLAKE'S 
FAMILY AND THOSE SUPPORTING THE 
BLAKE FAMILY, THE COMPLETE 
OPPOSITE, SAYING THEY WANT TO 
SEE CHANGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE, 
ASKING FOR THE PRESIDENT TO 
ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES 
INVOLVING THE JACOB BLAKE 
SHOOTING, SPECIFICALLY, AND 
DIRECTLY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING ON THE 
GROUND RIGHT NOW AND WHAT WE'VE 
BEEN SEEING THE LAST COUPLE 
DAYS.
THIS COMMUNITY LIKE MUCH OF THE 
NATION IS DIVIDED RIGHT NOW AND 
IT HAS BECOME VERY, VERY CLEAR 
PARTICULARLY TODAY WITH THE 
VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
>>> FOR MORE ON THE PRESIDENT'S 
VISIT TO KENOSHA LET'S BRING IN 
OUR TERRY MORAN IN WASHINGTON.
THE PRESIDENT TODAY FOCUSING HIS
ATTENTION MORE ON DAMAGE FROM 
THE PROTESTS THAN JACOB BLAKE'S 
SHOOTING BY POLICE.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HOW HE IS 
HANDLING THIS AND WHETHER MAKING
THIS HIS MESSAGE IS ACTUALLY 
EFFECTIVE?
>> Reporter: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY 
RIGHT.
THIS IS HIS MESSAGE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN ASKED 
SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHAT IS HIS 
AGENDA?
WHAT IS HIS VISION FOR A SECOND 
TRUMP TERM?
HE HAS STRUGGLED TO ANSWER THAT.
HE HAS COME UP WITH AN ANSWER 
AND IT IS ESSENTIALLY AN 
APOCALYPTIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN HIM
AND DISASTER FOR THE COUNTRY.
HE WANTS PEOPLE TO RALLY TO HIS 
SIDE AND HE POINTS TO INCIDENCE 
LIKE KENOSHA, LIKE PORTLAND, 
THESE PLACES WHERE VIOLENCE HAS 
FLARED UP AROUND THE BLACK LIVES
MATTER PROTESTS TO SAY, THIS IS 
YOUR FUTURE, AMERICA, IF YOU 
DON'T COME WITH ME.
IT'S HARD TO SAY IF IT'S WORKING
OR NOT.
IN WISCONSIN, ITSELF, THE MOST 
RECENT POLL SHOWS THAT JOE BIDEN
ACTUALLY HAS INCREASED HIS LEAD 
THERE, SMALL THOUGH IT IS.
AND, YET, THERE IS SOMETHING 
ELSE INTERESTING THAT'S 
HAPPENED.
IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE 
NATURALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS 
VIOLENCE.
THEY SEEM TO BE BLAMING THE 
PROTESTERS, THE BLACK LIVES 
MATTER FAVORABILITY RATING HAS 
GONE DOWN BUT IT HASN'T HELPED 
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
JOE BIDEN IS ARGUING THAT IT IS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP HIMSELF WHO IS 
HELPING FOMENT THIS VIOLENCE.
IT IS A GAMBLE BECAUSE HE IS NOT
OFFERING A PRAGMATIC PROGRAM.
HE IS SAYING IT'S ME OR 
DISASTER.
WE'LL SEE IF THAT WORKS. 
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE 
ADMINISTRATION'S HANDLING OF THE
PANDEMIC.
IT WAS TODAY WE HEARD FROM THE 
ADMIRAL RUNNING THE EFFORTS ON 
EXPANDING TESTING AND HE SEEMED 
TO DISMISS THE IDEA OF 
WIDESPREAD DAILY TESTING.
TAKE A LISTEN. 
>> IT'S GREAT TO TALK ABOUT THIS
UTOPIAN KIND OF IDEA WHERE 
EVERYBODY HAS A TEST EVERY DAY 
AND WE CAN DO THAT.
I DON'T LIVE IN THE UTOPIAN 
WORLD.
I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.
AND THE REAL WORLD HAD NO TESTS 
FOR THIS NEW DISEASE WHEN THIS 
FIRST STARTED.
WE NOW HAVE A HUGE DIVERSITY OF 
TESTS.
WE CAN RETURN TO SOCIETY WITHOUT
HAVING EVERYONE HAVE A TEST 
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> THIS RUNS COUNTER TO HIS 
MESSAGE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO.
>> Reporter: EXACTLY.
JUST IN MAY THE ADMIRAL PROMISED
50 MILLION TESTS A MONTH BY 
SEPTEMBER.
WELL, IT IS SEPTEMBER.
ON A GOOD DAW Y WOO AREN'T EVENT
HALF THAT LEVEL AND IT IS 
HEADING SOUTH.
TESTING IS DECREASING.
EVERY OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY 
THAT IS OUR PEER COUNTRY IN THE 
WORLD THAT IS SUCCEEDING WHETHER
CANADA OR GERMANY OR JAPAN OR 
SOUTH KOREA, THEY ARE TESTING AT
A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN WE ARE.
THEY ARE CONTACT TRACING.
THEY AREN'T JUST LETTING THE 
VIRUS FLOW THROUGH THE COUNTRY 
TESTING HERE AND THERE TRYING TO
STOMP OUT FLARUPS.
THEY ARE TRACKING IT, TESTING 
IT, CONTAINING IT, AND THAT'S 
WHY IN OTHER COUNTRIES KIDS ARE 
BACK IN SCHOOL.
BUSINESSES ARE OPENING.
THEY'RE HAVING CONCERTS IN 
BERLIN NOW.
BECAUSE THEY CAN MANAGE THIS.
IT IS REALLY STRIKING TO SEE THE
ADMIRAL WHO WAS ASSIGNED THE JOB
OF STANDING UP TESTING IN 
AMERICA SAYING, WELL, IT'S A 
UTOPIA TO THINK YOU CAN TEST 
THAT MUCH.
IT'S NOT IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
AND IT IS A REALLY BIG FAILURE 
OF THE AMERICAN EFFORT ON THIS 
PANDEMIC.
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES CLYBURN THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE, A 
DEMOCRAT, SAID THIS SHOWS THE 
NEED FOR A GENUINE NATIONAL 
TESTING PROGRAM.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
LET'S TALK MORE ABOUT 
CORONAVIRUS.
>>> TODAY THE LARGEST PUBLIC 
SCHOOL SYSTEM IN AMERICA 
ANNOUNCED IT IS DELAYING THE 
START OF SCHOOL, BOWING TO 
PRESSURE FROM THE TEACHERS 
UNION, AND STRONG WORDS FROM 
PRESIDENT TRUMP DIRECTED AT THE 
NATION'S LEADING INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE DOCTOR, DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI, WHO TODAY HAD A WARNING 
OF HIS OWN.
THIS COMES AS SOME COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES SEE CASES RISING.
>> Reporter: JUST DAYS BEFORE 
RETURN TO SCHOOL FOR MORE THAN A
MILLION CHILDREN IN NEW YORK 
CITY, CLASSES DELAYED UNTIL 
SEPTEMBER 21st, TO AVOID A 
TEACHERS STRIKE OVER COVID 
SAFETY DEMANDS. 
>> WE'VE HEARD FROM EVERYONE IN 
OUR SCHOOLS THAT HAVE SAID WE 
NEED SOME MORE TIME.
>> Reporter: PARENTS SAY THEY 
JUST WANT THEIR KIDS TO BE SAFE.
>> IT HAS TO BE MY FIRST 
CONCERN, THE SAFETY OF MY SON.
IT HAS TO BE.
I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.
>> SAFETY COMES FIRST AND SO I'M
GOING TO PUT MY TRUST IN THEM. 
>> Reporter: WE RECENTLY GOT A 
LOOK AT PREPARATIONS AT NEW 
YORK'S PS-532 -- DISINFECTION, 
SPACE DESKS, OPEN WINDOWS.
THE PRINCIPAL TELLING TOM, 
THEY'D BE READY.
>> OBVIOUSLY I TAKE THE SAFETY 
OF EVERYBODY IN MY COMMUNITY 
REALLY SERIOUSLY.
AND IN SPITE OF MY CONFIDENCE IN
THIS PLAN, THERE IS OF COURSE 
THE REALITY THAT THIS IS A SCARY
AND UNKNOWN VIRUS.
>> Reporter: NEW YORK CITY 
SCHOOLS NOW AGREEING TO RANDOMLY
TEST STUDENTS AND STAFF EACH 
MONTH.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SET TO 
SHIP 150 MILLION RAPID TESTS TO 
STATES TO BE USED IN THE 
REOPENING OF SCHOOLS.
THE PRESIDENT AGAIN APPEARING TO
TAKE ISSUE WITH DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI.
>> I GET ALONG WITH HIM BUT 
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE HE'LL COME
UP WITH ONE THAT I SAY, WHERE 
DID THAT COME FROM?
I INHERITED HIM.
HE WAS HERE.
HE WAS A PART OF THIS HUGE PIECE
OF MACHINERY.
I DIDN'T PUT ANYBODY IN CHARGE.
HE WAS HERE.
>> Reporter: THE NATION'S TOP 
INFECTIOUS DISEASE DOCTOR 
BRUSHING IT OFF SAYING HE 
BELIEVES THE PRESIDENT TRUSTS 
HIS ADVICE.
>> I THINK THAT'S KIND OF A 
DISTRACTION TO PIT ME AGAINST 
THE PRESIDENT.
WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM.
>> Reporter: BUT FAUCI ONCE 
AGAIN FINDING HIMSELF AT ODDS 
WITH THE PRESIDENT.
FIRMLY DISMISSING A CLAIM TRUMP 
RETWEETED SUGGESTING THE DEATH 
TOLL FROM THE VIRUS WAS ONLY 
9,000 BECAUSE OF PATIENTS WITH 
UNDERLYING CONDITIONS.
>> THAT DOES NOT MEAN SOMEONE 
WHO HAS HYPERTENSION AND 
DIABETES WHO DIES OF COVID 
DIDN'T DIE OF COVID-19.
THEY DID.
THE NUMBERS YOU'VE BEEN HEARING,
THE 180,000 PLUS DEATHS ARE REAL
DEATHS FROM COVID-19.
LET THERE NOT BE ANY CONFUSION 
ABOUT THAT.
IT IS NOT 9,000 DEATHS FROM 
COVID-19.
IT'S 180,000 PLUS.
>> Reporter: DR. FAUCI URGING 
STATE IS NOT TO LET LABOR DAY 
CELEBRATIONS RUIN THE FALL.
COLLEGES ALREADY SCRAMBLING TO 
CONTAIN NEW OUTBREAKS ON CAMPUS.
OHIO STATE REPORTING NEARLY 500 
CASES IN JUST THE FIRST WEEK OF 
SCHOOL.
THE STATE HITTING 1400 CASES 
TODAY.
THE LARGEST SINGLE DAY JUMP 
SINCE JULY.
THE GOVERNOR POINTING TO THE 
RETURN OF COLLEGE AND GRADE 
SCHOOL STUDENTS.
>> IF WE WANT OUR KIDS IN 
SCHOOL, WHICH WE DO, THE WAY TO 
DO THAT IS FOR US TO SLOW THIS 
SPREAD DOWN.
>> Reporter: WE NOW BRING IN OUR
EVA PILGRIM.
THERE IS A NEW PUBLIC HEALTH 
CAMPAIGN IN THE WORKS FROM THE 
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
SERVICES.
TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> Reporter: ABC NEWS HAS 
CONFIRMED THE DEPARTMENT IS 
PITCHING A $250 MILLION PUBLIC 
RELATIONS PUSH.
NOW, POLITICO WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN
A LETTER SHOWING THAT THE GOAL 
IS TO DEFEAT DESPAIR AND INSPIRE
HOPE.
NOW, HOUSE MAJORITY WHIP JIM 
CLYBURN SAYS THIS LOOKS LIKE 
TAXPAYER MONEY, $250 MILLION 
WORTH OF TAXPAYER MONEY THAT IS 
BEING USED POLITICALLY BUT THE 
ADMINISTRATION INSISTS THAT THIS
IS ABOUT HEALTH NOT POLITICS.
>> WE'LL FOLLOW IT FOR SURE.
THANKS SO MUCH.
>>> TODAY IS OF COURSE THE FIRST
OF THE MONTH AND FOR MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS THAT MEANS THE RENT IS
DUE.
AFTER FEDERAL PROTECTIONS 
AGAINST EVICTION WERE ALLOWED TO
EXPIRE, ANXIETY IS HIGH FOR 
THOSE UNABLE TO MAKE RENT 
ESPECIALLY WHERE THERE ARE NO 
STATE PROTECTIONS.
TONIGHT WE HEAR FROM SOME OF 
THOSE VOICES DETAILING THEIR 
FEARS AND THEIR STRUGGLES.
>> IT'S JUST BEEN REAL, REAL 
HARD.
YOU KNOW, JUST SOMETHING THAT I 
NEVER -- I WASN'T EXPECTING.
AND IT JUST, WHAM, IT JUST CAME 
ON ME. 
>> WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YOU KNOW?
AND WE'RE LOOKING TO THE LEADERS
FOR EXTRA HELP.
THE MONEY BEFORE, OKAY.
I CAN PAY LIGHTS AND GAS.
NOW IT'S A TOSS UP BETWEEN RENT,
CAR INSURANCE, LIGHTS, GAS.
>> WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING 
TO HAPPEN HERE.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO 
HAPPEN IN A JOB.
WE DON'T -- EVERYTHING IS IN 
LIMBO.
>> THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ME 
BUT THEN IT COMES TO A POINT 
THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR MONEY, 
TOO.
>> BUT YOU GET TO A POINT IN 
YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU REALLY DON'T
WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP -- WHAT 
KIND OF WOMAN AM I IF I CAN'T 
EVEN TAKE CARE OF MY OWN FAMILY?
I CAN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF MY OWN
FAMILY.
IT'S ONLY TWO OF THEM.
>> LATE TODAY TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SAID 
THE CDC WILL USE ITS AUTHORITY 
TO TEMPORARILY HALT SOME OF 
THOSE EVICTIONS.
THIS WOULD APPLY TO INDIVIDUAL 
RENTERS EARNING LESS THAN 
$99,000 A YEAR.
IT IS UNCLEAR HOW THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION WILL ACTUALLY 
ENFORCE THAT ORDER, THOUGH.
>>> NOW TO AN URGENT SEARCH FOR 
TWO MISSING CHILDREN AFTER THEIR
MOTHER'S CAR WAS SWEPT AWAY BY 
FLOOD WATERS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
RESCUE CREWS WERE ABLE TO PULL 
THEIR MOTHER TO SAFETY BUT LOST

THE MOTHER.
THE WATER WAS SO TURBULENT THAT 
THE BOAT CAP SIZED AND THEY LOST
THE CHILD.

SWIFT WATER BOATS FLIPPED OVER,

GET THROUGH.
>> Reporter: ON A RAIN SLICKED 
INTERSTATE 95, WITNESSES 
SPRINGING TO ACTION HELPING TWO 
ELDERLY PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THIS 
OVERTURNED CAR.
>> WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GET 
YOU OUT.
OKAY?
>> Reporter: THANKFULLY NEITHER 
APPEARED SERIOUSLY HURT.
IN THE OKLAHOMA CITY AREA UP TO 
A MONTH'S WORTH OF RAIN IN A FEW
HOURS CAUSING SCENES LIKE THIS.
A CAR PINNED AGAINST A RAILING 
SURROUNDED BY POWERFUL FLOOD 
WATERS.
A MAN IN HIS 50s IS MISSING.
TONIGHT FLOOD WATCHES ARE UP FOR
NORTH TEXAS THROUGH THURSDAY AND
THEY EXPECT UP TO 6 INCHES OF 
RAIN TO FALL HERE IN THE 
DALLAS/FT. WORTH AREA, CREATING 
THAT POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS 
FLOODING.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
FOR MORE ON THE EXTREME 
RAINFALL, LET'S GET TO ABC NEWS 
CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE.
>> WE SAW ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 
8 INCHES OF RAIN FROM OKLAHOMA 
TO NORTH CAROLINA.
AND A LOT OF THAT FELL 2 TO 
3 INCH PER HOUR RAINFALL RATES.
THAT IS WHY YOU STILL SEE THE 
FLASH FLOOD THREAT ON THE MAP.
BUT THE TORNADO WATCH IS 
RELATIVELY NEW AND YOU NEED TO 
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FROM LITTLE 
ROCK OVER TO THE STATE LINE OF 
MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE.
KEEP AN EYE ON THE STORMS FROM 
MEMPHIS TONIGHT.
WE ALSO WANT TO FOCUS IN ON HOW 
MUCH RAIN.
THIS IS A STATIONARY FRONT.
STATIONARY JUST LIKE IT SOUNDS, 
DOESN'T MOVE MUCH.
YOU WON'T SEE IT MOVE MUCH IN 
THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS.
THAT IS WHY I ANTICIPATE SOME OF
THESE SPOTS WILL PICK UP AN 
ADDED COUPLE INCHES AND I MEAN 3
TO 5 INCHES IN SOME OF THOSE 
ZONES IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS 
AND THEN FINALLY I WANT TO LEAVE
YOU WITH THE TROPICS.
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD WE HAVE 
TWO MORE NAMED STORMS.
NANA THAT WILL GO THROUGH THE 
CENTRAL AMERICA AND OVER THE 
YUCATAN PENINSULA AND THEN OMAR 
WHICH THANKFULLY THOUGH IT LOOKS
CLOSE TO THE UNITED STATES LOOKS
TO TURN OFF TO THE RIGHT AND 
STAY A STORM.
>>> WE TURN TO THE CASE OF

THEY YOUSUFD TO ANSWER WHEN WE 
YELLED WHO IS IT?
16 MINUTES LATER BREONNA WAS 
DEAD FROM A HAIL OF POLICE GUN 
FIRE AND I WAS IN POLICE 
CUSTODY.
THE POLICE ARRESTED ME AND 
CHARGED ME WITH MURDER OF A 
POLICE OFFICER.
I WAS RAISED BY A GOOD FAMILY.
I AM A LEGAL GUN OWNER.
I WOULD NEVER KNOWINGLY SHOOT A 
POLICE OFFICER.
BREONNA AND I DID NOT KNOW WHO 
WAS BANGING ON THE DOOR BUT THE 
POLICE KNOW WHAT THEY DID.
THE CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST ME 
WERE MEANT TO SILENCE ME AND 
COVER UP BREONNA'S MURDER.
FOR HER AND THOSE THAT I LOVE I 
CAN NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT.

OF RACISM IN AMERICA.
BUT SOME COMMUNITIES ARE 
RESISTANT, ARGUING THE NAMES ARE
PART OF A HISTORY THAT SHOULDN'T
BE ERASED.
SO HOW DO WE PROPERLY RECOGNIZE 
OUR PAST WHILE MOVING TOWARD A 
MORE EQUITABLE FUTURE?
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
>> Reporter: IN THE SHADOW OF 
DENVER'S OLD AIRPORT TOWER 
PEOPLE LIVING IN THE 
NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWN AS STAPLETON 
SAY THIS PLACE WITH ITS BIG 
PARKS AND MODERN HOMES HAD AN 
OUTDATED NAME.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, STAPLETON WAS 
NAMED AFTER THE AIRPORT.
BUT THE AIRPORT WAS NAMED AFTER 
BENJAMIN STAPLETON, WHO WAS AN 
ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE KU KLUX 
KLAN.
>> Reporter: KIMBERLY BREWER 
HELPED LEAD THE LONG FIGHT TO 
RENAME STAPLETON.
FOR DECADES THE REBRANDING WAS 
REJECTED BY VOTERS, BUT IN JUNE 
BREWER SAYS SOMETHING FINALLY 
CHANGED.
>> I THINK WE AS A NATION ARE 
BEGINNING TO GRAPPLE WITH THE 
REALITY OF OUR HISTORY.
AND WHAT IS IN A NAME?
>> Reporter: ALONG WITH 
NATIONWIDE PROTESTS AGAINST 
POLICE BRUTALITY, THERE IS A NEW
RECKONING FOR NAMES AND SYMBOLS 
THAT CONJURE RACISM IN AMERICA'S
PAST.
TAKE COLORADO.
THERE IS GREAT NATURAL BEAUTY 
HERE BUT THE STATE STILL HAS A 
MAP DOTTED WITH WHAT SOME SAY 
ARE UGLY SLURS.
NEGRO MESA, REDSKIN MOUNTAIN, 
SQUAW MOUNTAIN.
WE DECIDED TO HIT THE ROAD TO 
FIND OTHERS.
FIRST STOP, THE SMALL TOWN OF 
BUENA VISTA.
OKAY.
WE JUST GOT TO THE TRAIL HEAD 
HERE.
TOOK US ABOUT TWO HOURS FROM 
DENVER.
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE 
BRING THEIR 4 X 4s, THEIR OFF 
ROAD VEHICLES.
IT IS A VERY POPULAR PLACE TO GO
OFF ROADING, BUT A LOT OF 
CRITICS THINK IT HAS A 
TROUBLESOME NAME.
THIS IS CHINAMAN GULCH.
LONG BEFORE IT WAS AN OFF ROAD 
PLAYGROUND LOCALLY HISTORIAN 
SUSIE KELLY SAYS CHINESE 
LABORERS CAME HERE TO WORK IN 
THE MINES AND FOR THE RAILROADS.
>> THE CHINESE MEN WHO LIVED UP 
IN THAT GULCH AND THEY NAMED IT 
CHINAMAN GULCH BECAUSE HE LIVED 
THERE, BUT HE LIVED THERE 
BECAUSE HE CUT TREES TO MAKE 
TIES TO LAY THE RAILS ON.
>> Reporter: KELLY WORKS AT THE 
LOCAL HERITAGE MUSEUM AND SAYS 
MOST LOCALS JUST DON'T SEE THE 
NEED TO CHANGE A NAME THAT'S 
BEEN AROUND FOR 130 YEARS.
>> IT WASN'T AN INSULT.
IT WASN'T DONE MALICIOUSLY.
I THINK THEY'RE MAKING A BIG 
THING OUT OF NOTHING TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH.
>> Reporter: IF YOU WERE WALKING
DOWN THE STREET WITH SAY A 
FRIEND AND A FRIEND SAID, HEY, 
LOOK AT THAT CHINAMAN, THERE 
GOES A CHINAMAN, WOULD YOU 
CONSIDER THAT AN INSULT TODAY?
>> PROBABLY.
BUT IN 1890 I PROBABLY WOULDN'T.
>> Reporter: BUT TODAY CHINAMAN 
GULCH IS ON A LIST OF 
CONTROVERSIAL NAMES BEING 
REVIEWED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF 
THE INTERIOR AND COLORADO'S 
GOVERNOR JUST CREATED HIS OWN 
RENAMING COMMISSION, HISTORIAN 
NICKY
NICKY GONZALEZ IS ON IT. 
>> THE PEOPLE IN POWER ARE THE 
ONES WHO GIVE THE NAMES TO 
DIFFERENT PLACES AND THAT 
REFLECTS THE VALUES OF THE IDEAS
OF AMERICAN INDIVIDUALISM, THIS 
RUGGED SORT OF APPROACH TO THE 
WEST, THIS DOMINANCE, 
SUPERIORITY.
THE COMMISSION IS TASKED WITH 
EXAMINING SOME OF THE PLACE 
NAMES IN COLORADO THAT HAVE BEEN
HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC AND FOR ONCE 
WE'LL HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS 
AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF 
GOVERNMENT IN COLORADO.
>> Reporter: SKY ROOSEVELT 
MORRIS AND TINK TINKER ARE WITH 
THE ACTIVIST GROUP AMERICAN 
INDIAN MOVEMENT.
THEY ARE CHALLENGING WHITE 
AMERICA TO RETHINK THE STORIES 
OF PEOPLE LONG CELEBRATED HERE 
AS PIONEERS AND EXPLORERS.
>> WE LIKE TO CALL THEM 
INVADERS, COLONIZERS, BECAUSE 
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEIR 
MISSION WAS HERE TO COLONIZE AND
COMMIT GENOCIDE AGAINST 
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES.
>> ONE OF THOSE FAMOUS NAMES KIT
CARSON.
>> CARSON WAS A PREMIER INDIAN 
KILLER, ACCOUNTED FOR A NUMBER 
OF MASSACRES BETWEEN COLORADO 
AND CALIFORNIA.
>> Reporter: THIS IS WHERE 
CARSON'S STATUE ONCE STOOD IN 
DOWNTOWN DENVER.
BUT IN JUNE THE CITY TOOK IT 
DOWN BEFORE IT COULD BE TORN 
DOWN.
CARSON'S NAME IS ON STREETS AND 
SCHOOLS, MILITARY BASES, AND OUR
NEXT STOP, A TOWN 150 MILES 
SOUTHEAST OF DENVER.
AT THE LOCAL TRADING POST, 
KIMBERLY BROWN TOLD US SCRUBBING
HIS NAME WOULD BE A STEP TOO 
FAR. 
>> MY VIEW ON THIS THING IS 
HISTORY IS HISTORY.
IT'S NOT THERE FOR US TO LIKE.
IT'S NOT THERE FOR US TO LOVE.
IT IS FOR US TO LEARN FROM AND I
FEEL ERASING HISTORY GOOD OR BAD
IS NOT OKAY.
I DON'T THINK IT'S OKAY.
>> Reporter: NOT FAR DOWN THE 
ROAD IS A PLACE WITH ANOTHER 
TROUBLED NAMESAKE.
OUT HERE ON COLORADO'S EASTERN 
PLAINS SHIVINGTON IS MORE OF A 
GHOST TOWN NOW.
THE MAN IT IS NAMED AFTER IS 
LONG GONE TOO BUT THE PAIN AND 
ANGER HE CAUSED NOT FAR FROM 
HERE MORE THAN 150 YEARS AGO IS 
STILL FRESH.
IN 1864, U.S. ARMY COLONEL JOHN 
SHIVINGTON LED SOLDIERS IN A 
MASSACRE AT SAND CREEK 
SLAUGHTERING MORE THAN 200 
NATIVE AMERICANS, MOST OF THEM 
WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
IT IS A WOUND NATIVE AMERICANS 
SAY HAS NOT HEALED, WHICH IS WHY
THEY SAY A HIGH SCHOOL MASCOT 
YOU'LL FIND JUST 40 MILES TO THE
SOUTH IS A PAINFUL INSULT.
THIS IS LAMAR, COLORADO HOME OF 
THE SAVAGES.
>> WE'RE NOT ANYBODY'S MASCOT.
WE ARE OUR OWN SOVEREIGN 
NATIONS, OUR OWN PEOPLES.
>> Reporter: LOCALS TELL US WHAT
THEY CALL SAVAGE NATION HAS A 
LONG HISTORY IN THIS COMMUNITY 
MEANT TO UNITE NOT DIVIDE.
>> IN OUR SCHOOL EVERYBODY KNOWS
IF WE GET CALLED A SAVAGE IT IS 
NOT OFFENSIVE IN ANY WAY.
IT'S JUST PRIDEFUL.
WE'RE ALL SAVAGES, WE LOVE BEING
SAVAGES.
>> Reporter: THIS WOMAN 
GRADUATED FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL 
AND STARTED A PETITION TO KEEP 
THE NAME.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO 
SAY THIS IS A RACIST, OUTDATED 
SYMBOL?
>> WE ARE NOT USING IT AS A D
G
DEROG TIFF TERM.
IT IS SOMETHING WE TAKE A LOT OF
PRIDE IN.
THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE WILLING 
TO FIGHT FOR IT THAT SENSE OF 
COMMUNITY WE'RE ALL TOGETHER IN 
ONE.
>> Reporter: NOT EVERYONE.
THIS YOUNG WOMAN GRADUATED IN 
2012 AND SAID SHE HAD NO PROBLEM
WITH THE MASCOT UNTIL SHE MOVED 
TO COLLEGE. 
>> WE'RE ALL HAVING DISCUSSION 
FRESHMAN YEAR TALKING ABOUT 
WHERE WE COME FROM AND I 
MENTIONED THE NAME OF MY MASCOT 
AND A BUNCH OF THE KIDS LOOKED 
AT ME, LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS?
YOU'RE NOT JOKING?
I'M SERIOUS.
THAT'S IT.
THEY'RE LIKE, THAT'S REALLY 
OFFENSIVE.
>> Reporter: SHE IS NOW BACK IN 
LAMAR JOINING A GROUP OF ALUMNI 
FIGHTING TO BURY THE SAVAGE 
NAME.
>> WE ARE AT A MOMENT IN TIME 
WHERE THE CHOICES WE MAKE ARE 
KIND OF GOING TO INFLUENCE THE 
WAY WE'RE SEEN LATER ON BY 
FUTURE GENERATIONS.
THERE ARE OTHER GOOD THINGS 
ABOUT THAT SCHOOL.
TAKE PRIDE IN THOSE.
WE'LL CHANGE THE MASCOT AND THEN
KEEP SHOWING HOW GOOD THIS 
COMMUNITY IS. 
>> Reporter: EVEN IF THE CHANGE 
HAPPENS SOME ACTIVISTS SAY THE 
REAL ISSUE GOES FAR DEEPER. 
>> MAYBE IF WE ARE WILLING TO 
ADDRESS RACIST MASCOTS AND 
RACIST HOLIDAYS AND RACIST 
STREETS AND RACE UFT STATUTES 
MAYBE WE CAN START TO GET TO THE
HEART OF THE ISSUE WHICH IS THAT
THIS LAND IS STOLEN AND THIS 
COUNTRY IS BUILT ON THE GENOCIDE
OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND 
ENSLAVEMENT OF BLACK RELATIVES.
THIS IS THE BEGINNING.
>> Reporter: BACK IN 
STAPLETON -- 
>> DENVER HAS A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD
OR AT LEAST A NEW NAME FOR ONE.
CENTRAL PARK WILL BE THE NEW 
NAME FOR STAPLETON.
>> Reporter: THEY ARE NOW 
COVERING UP THE OLD SIGNS MAKING
WAY FOR THE NEW.
>> THESE NAMES HAVE THE 
POTENTIAL TO EVOKE A VERY 
PAINFUL PAST AND THAT AFFECTS 
THE SELF-ESTEEM OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
I THINK THERE IS ROOM FOR 
EVERYBODY'S HISTORY.
>> Reporter: A MOMENT WHERE REAL
CHANGE MAY BE JUST OVER THE 
HORIZON.

NO SITTING U.S. SENATOR HAS EVER
LOST A CONTESTED PRIMARY IN

WHOSE GREAT UNCLES WERE 
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND 
SENATOR TED KENNEDY.
HIS GRANDFATHER ROBERT KENNEDY

THE SINGER SPARKING CONTROVERSY 
OVER THIS PHOTO POSTING HAPPY 
WHAT WOULD BE NOTINGHILL 
CARNIVAL MY BELOVED LONDON MEANT
TO HONOR THE ANNUAL FESTIVAL 
CELEBRATING BRITISH WEST INDIAN 
CULTURE.
MANY BLACK JAMAICANS CONSIDERING
IT A COMPLIMENT THAT THE 
SONGSTRESS WORE A JAMAICAN FLAG 
BIKINI AND HAIR IN BANTU KNOTS 
TO CELEBRATE A JAMAICAN CARNIVAL
COMPARED TO WEARING IT AS A 
COSTUME. 
>> YOU SEE A LOT OF FOLKS OF 
CARIBBEAN DESCENT DEFENDING HER 
IF NOT GIVING HER PERMISSION TO 
DO SO AND ASKING THE REST OF US 
NOT OF CARIBBEAN DESCENT TO 
BASICALLY MIND OUR BUSINESS 
BECAUSE WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE 
PARTICULAR CULTURAL CONTEXT 
WHICH I HEAR AND WHICH I GET BUT
IT ALSO REMINDS ME THAT WHO OF 
US IS IN A POSITION TO GIVE 
PERMISSION?
>> Reporter: THE RESPONSE, WIDE 
RANGING, AND HIGHLIGHTING THE 
NUANCE OFTEN NEGLECTED AND 
OVERLOOKED WITHIN THE BLACK 
EXPERIENCE.
SOME BLACK BRITONS UNBOTHERED 
LIKE DAVID LAMMY A MEMBER OF 
BRITISH PARLIAMENT POINTING OUT 
THE FESTIVAL'S TRADITION OF 
DRESS UP ADDING ADELE GREW UP IN
TOTTENHAM A HIGHLY DIVERSE AND 
MULTI CULTURAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN 
LONDON SO SHE GETS IT MORE THAN 
MOST.
>> ADELE IS FROM THE AREA AND 
THE CARNIVAL IS THE BIGGEST 
STREET CARNIVAL IN EUROPE.
IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE LOTS 
OF WHITE PEOPLE DRESSED IN 
JAMAICAN CLOTHES WITH DREAD 
LOCKS.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIKE, WELL
THIS IS GOOD.
IT BRINGS EXPOSURE.
THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO HAD A 
DEEPLY NEGATIVE RESPONSE. 
>> Reporter: SOME BLACK 
AMERICANS TAKING OFFENSE.
ERNEST OWENS AN AWARD WINNING 
BLACK AMERICAN JOURNALIST 
CALLING IT THE CULTURAL 
APPROPRIATION NOBODY ASKED FOR.
ADDING HATE TO SEE IT.
>> WE KNOW VERY WELL THAT ADELE 
IS NOT GOING TO WEAR THIS HAIR 
STYLE TO THE RED CARPET.
SO YOU APPRECIATE IT IN A 
PARTICULAR CONTEXT INSOFAR AS IT
IS A COSTUME.
WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF 
TAKING ON AND OFF OUR HAIR AS A 
COSTUME.
>> Reporter: THIS CULTURAL 
CONSULTANT SAYS IT IS THE 
TRADITIONAL BLACK HAIR STYLE 
ORIGINATING WITH THE ZULU TRIBES
IN AFRICA THAT CROSSES THE LINE 
FROM APPRECIATION TO 
APPROPRIATION. 
>> A BLACK YOUNG GIRL IN 
TOTTENHAM IN SOME SCHOOLS 
COULDN'T GO WITH THAT HAIR 
BECAUSE IT ISN'T SEEN AS 
ACCEPTABLE UNIFORM.
SO THE HAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN A 
REALLY CONTESTED SPACE.
BECAUSE OF DREADS, CORN ROW.
BUT HAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN A 
POLITICAL SITE OF RESISTANCE.
>> THERE IS A CONTINUAL AND 
COMPETITIVE PRACTICE OF FOLKS 
WHO AREN'T BLACK BEING ABLE TO 
BENEFIT FROM OUR RHYTHM WITHOUT 
HAVING TO SUFFER OUR BLUES.
AS A WHITE WOMAN YOU ARE ABLE TO
WEAR A HAIR STYLE MANY OF US 
WOULD BE DENIGRATED FOR.
>> THE RESPONSE SIMILAR TO WHEN 
CELEBRITIES LIKE THE KARDASHIANS
WEARING CORN ROWS AND DO-RAGS 
ARE HELD AS FASHIONABLE BUT 
OTHERS SPECIFICALLY BLACK 
AMERICANS DOING THE SAME ARE 
SEEN AS UNPROFESSIONAL.
IN MANY STATES ARE NOT PROTECTED
FROM HAIR DISCRIMINATION AT WORK
AND SCHOOL 
>> I SAW SOMEONE ON TWITTER SAY 
IF YOU'RE GOING TO CRITIQUE 
ADELE FOR WEARING THIS AFRICAN 
HAIR STYLE THEN LET'S CRITIQUE 
BLACK WOMEN FOR WEARING THESE 
EUROPEAN HAIR STYLES.
THOSE AREN'T PARALLEL ARGUMENTS 
BECAUSE AGAIN IT IS COMPLETELY 
REMOVED FROM THE CONTEXT OF 
WHITE SUPREMACY.
MUCH OF WHAT MANY FOLKS THINK IS
A CHOICE IN THIS MOMENT.
I JUST CHOOSE TO WEAR MY HAIR 
STRAIGHT IS AGAIN DETACHED FROM 
A LONG HISTORY WHERE WE WERE 
REQUIRED TO WEAR OUR HAIR 
STRAIGHT IN ORDER TO BE SEEN AS 
ACCEPTABLE.
IN ORDER TO BE SEEN AS 
PROFESSIONAL.
IT WASN'T A CHOICE.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.

CITIZENS WITH PROTESTS IN BOTH 
CITIES ESCALATING INTO VIOLENT 
AND DEADLY CONFRONTATIONS.
AND NOW SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY 
DEMOCRAT FROM CONNECTICUT IS OUT
WITH A NEW BOOK CALLED THE 
VIOLENCE INSIDE US, A BRIEF 
HISTORY OF AN ONGOING AMERICAN 
TRAGEDY EXAMINING THE ORIGINS OF
VIOLENCE IN AMERICA.
AND WHAT HE CALLS OUR NATION'S 
OBSESSION WITH FIREARMS.
SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY JOINS ME 
NOW.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>>> YOUR BOOK TALKS ABOUT 
VIOLENCE IN AMERICA PARTICULARLY
GUN VIOLENCE AND ITS DEEP ROOTS.
HOW DID WE GET TO THIS POINT?
>> VIOLENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART
OF THE AMERICAN STORY AND WHAT I
SAY IN THE BOOK IS THAT WE WERE 
LIKELY DESTINED TO BE A MORE 
VIOLENT NATION BUT HAVE CHOSEN 
TO THROW KEROSENE ON THE 
SMOLDERING FIRE BY ALSO ALLOWING
THIS NATION TO BE AWASH IN GUNS 
ESPECIALLY VERY DANGEROUS, 
POWERFUL GUNS, ESPECIALLY GUNS 
IN THE HANDS OF THE WRONG 
PEOPLE.
WHILE WE HAVE TO TAKE A BIG STEP
BACK AND UNDERSTAND THAT OUR 
RACIST ROOTS AS A NATION HAVE A 
LOT TO DO WITH TODAY'S LEVELS OF
VIOLENCE THE QUICKEST RETURN WE 
CAN GET IS TO MAKE SURE THERE 
ARE FEWER WEAPONS OUT THERE, 
FEWER WEAPONS BEING BROUGHT TO 
THE PROTESTS THAT WE ARE 
WATCHING, FEWER WEAPONS IN THE 
STREETS OF AMERICA, FEWER 
WEAPONS AWARE OF PEOPLE WITH 
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.
IF YOU TAKE THAT STEP YOU WILL 
SEE A DRAMATIC REDUCTION IN 
VIOLENCE.
THE BOOK ALSO MAKES THE CASE 
THAT IT IS MORE COMPLICATED AND 
YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE 
STARTED AS A VIOLENT NATION AND 
ATTACKED THOSE ROOTS AS WELL.
>> I WANT TO GET INTO WHAT IS 
HAPPENING IN CITIES ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY BUT JUST TO BACK UP A 
LITTLE BIT BECAUSE YOU SAY THAT 
YOUR BOOK IS TO MAKE THE OTHER 
SIDE LESS SCARED.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT 
ARE SCARED RIGHT NOW ON BOTH 
SIDES SO WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU 
MEAN BY THAT?
>> I DO THINK THIS IS ONE OF 
THOSE ISSUES WHERE WE HAVE 
TROUBLE COMING TOGETHER.
I DESCRIBE AN INCIDENT IN A BOOK
WHERE A MAN IS WAITING FOR ME 
AFTER AN OUTDOORS FESTIVAL IN 
CONNECTICUT AND IS VERY ANGRY 
WITH ME AND HE SAYS I WANT TO 
TALK TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE THAT
GUY WHO IS GOING TO TRY TO TAKE 
AWAY MY GUNS.
I VERY QUICKLY TRY TO GET HIM 
INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT I'M
ACTUALLY FOR WHICH IS UNIVERSAL 
BACKGROUND CHECKS.
ONCE I DO THAT HE SAYS I'M FOR 
THOSE.
I WENT THROUGH A BACKGROUND 
CHECK.
I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE TO 
PROVE THEY'RE NOT A CRIMINAL.
AND AS WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER 
BETTER, WE DON'T ALLOW THE NRA 
AND GUN LOBBIES TO DEFINE THIS 
DEBATE, WE CAN FIND COMMON 
GROUND.
I SAY IN THE BOOK I THINK THERE 
IS A COPYRIGHT TO THE PRIVATE 
OWNERSHIP OF GUNS.
I THINK THERE IS AN ABILITY FOR 
US TO HAVE A COMMON SENSE 
DISCUSSION ABOUT GUNS IN THIS 
NATION THAT UNITES AT LEAST 80% 
OF US.
THAT IS PART OF THE ANSWER FOR 
WHAT PLAGUES THIS NATION TODAY.
>> YOU KNOW IT'S NOT STRICTER 
GUN LAWS AND BACKGROUND CHECKS 
THAT ARE THE ONLY ANSWER HERE.
I MEAN, EVERY DAY GUNS ARE BEING
SMUGGLED INTO THIS COUNTRY AND 
USED TO KILL PEOPLE.
GUNS WITHOUT ANY TRACE.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO
BE TACKLED IN THE MOMENT.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
THE OPENING STORY OF THE BOOK IS
THE STORY OF SHANE OLIVER, A 
20-YEAR-OLD, WHO IS KILLED IN A 
VERBAL DISPUTE OVER A GIRL IN 
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT JUST TWO 
MONTHS BEFORE SANDY HOOK.
IT WAS AN ILLEGAL WEAPON PULLED 
OUT OF THE CAR AND ENDED THIS 
VERY PROMISING YOUNG MAN'S LIFE.
EVERY ILLEGAL WEAPON STARTS WITH
AS A LEGAL WEAPON.
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE SOME 
CRIMINAL BOUGHT IT AT A GUN SHOW
OR ONLINE AND WAS NOT PROHIBITED
FROM DOING SO BECAUSE THERE 
WASN'T A BACKGROUND CHECK 
ATTACHED TO IT AND THEN HE SELLS
IT TO SOMEBODY ON THE STREETS OF
HARTFORD AND IT BECOMES AN 
ILLEGAL WEAPON. 
>> WHAT ABOUT THE GUNS PURCHASED
ON THE BLACK MARKET?
I MEAN, THOSE INDIVIDUALS 
DEFINITELY AREN'T GETTING A 
BACKGROUND CHECK.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, BUT THE BLACK 
MARKET STARTS OFTEN BY THE GUN 
BEING SOLD OUTSIDE OF THE 
BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM BECAUSE 
THE BLACK MARKET IS RUN BY 
CRIMINALS.
HOW DO GUNS GET TO CONNECTICUT 
AND BE SOLD ILLEGALLY?
WELL, THEY GET BOUGHT IN GUN 
SHOWS IN PLACES LIKE SOUTH 
CAROLINA AND FLORIDA.
THOSE CRIMINALS BUY THEM THERE 
WHERE THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS 
ASKED AND THEY BRING THEM UP TO 
CONNECTICUT AND SELL THEM 
ILLEGALLY.
BY MAKING IT SO EVERYONE HAS TO 
GO THROUGH A BACKGROUND CHECK 
YOU MAKE SOME REAL PROGRESS 
HERE.
I ALSO MAKE THE BROADER POINT 
THAT SHANE'S LIFE IN HARTFORD, 
ENORMOUSLY LIMITED 
POSSIBILITIES.
HE PROBABLY DIDN'T THINK HE'D 
LIVE PAST 20 IN PART BECAUSE OF 
THE ECONOMIC REALITY OF SO MANY 
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THE 
INNER CITIES.
THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN 
THE NUMBER OF LEGAL GUNS IN YOUR
CITY AND GUN HOMICIDES AND ALSO 
THE INCOME AND POVERTY AND YOUR 
CHANCES OF BEING KILLED IN GUN 
VIOLENCE.
WE NEED TO ADDRESS BOTH OF THESE
ISSUES. 
>> YOU WERE FIRST ELECTED TO THE
SENATE IN 2012 AND THAT WAS JUST
ONE MONTH BEFORE THE SHOOTING AT
SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY AND IN 
YOUR HOME STATE AND YOU'VE BEEN 
A VOCAL PROPONENT OF GUN CONTROL
MEASURES MOST OF WHICH HAVE NOT 
BEEN SUCCESSFUL EVEN AS THE 
DEADLY MASS SHOOTINGS HAVE 
ESCALATED IN RECENT YEARS.
WHY IS THAT?
>> THE WORST MOMENT OF MY 
LEGISLATIVE CAREER WAS IN THE 
SPRING OF 2013 WHEN THE 
BACKGROUND CHECKS BILL FAILED.
I WAS WITH MANY FAMILIES FROM 
SANDY HOOK THAT DAY AND I TELL 
THE STORY IN THE BOOK WHAT IT 
WAS LIKE TO WALK OUT OF THE 
SENATE CHAMBER AND TELL THESE 
PARENTS WE HAVE LOST DESPITE THE
FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT 
THE WORLD HAD CHANGED AFTER 
SANDY HOOK.
WHAT WE REALIZED THAT DAY WAS WE
HADN'T LOST THE ARGUMENT.
WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE A POWERFUL 
ENOUGH POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS ALL ABOUT 
POLITICS IN THE END AND YOU HAVE
TO BE STRONGER THAN THE OTHER 
SIDE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR
THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.
WE BUILT UP AN ANTIGUN VIOLENCE 
MOVEMENT THAT IS NOW STRONGER 
THAN THE GUN LOBBY IS.
WE HAVE GROUPS LIKE MOMS DEMAND 
ACTION AND IN EVERY TOWN THAT 
ARE WINNING MORE ELECTIONS THAN 
THE NRA IS.
THE NRA IS FALLING APART.
WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED IS YOU HAVE 
TO BUILD POLITICAL POWER.
WE'RE DOING THAT.
THAT IS WHY WE HAD SO MUCH 
SUCCESS IN 2018 AND WHY I THINK 
WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF SUCCESS ON 
THIS ISSUE IN 2020.
>>> FINAL QUESTION PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND OTHER REPUBLICANS 
REALLY LEANED ON THE LAW AND 
ORDER THEME AT THE RNC AND 
SAYING THAT THEY WILL KEEP THE 
COUNTRY SAFER THAN A DEMOCRATIC 
WHITE HOUSE.
JOE BIDEN HAS RESPONDED BACK THE
VIOLENCE WE'RE SEEING IS 
HAPPENING ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 
WATCH.
DO YOU AGREE?
>> WELL THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S 
AMERICA.
DONALD TRUMP WOULD LIKE TO 
PERFORM THIS JEDI MIND TRICK IN 
WHICH HE MAKES US ALL FORGET HE 
IS PRESIDENT AND WOULD LIKE US 
TO BELIEVE JOE BIDEN IS IN THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
WE ARE IN THE SITUATION TODAY 
WITH A PANDEMIC RAGING OUT OF 
CONTROL BECAUSE OF THIS 
PRESIDENT.
WE COULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS
BACK IN THE SPRING IF WE HAD A 
COMPETENT ADMINISTRATION AND THE
PRESIDENT IN GOING TO WISCONSIN 
TODAY IS SEEKING TO FAN THE 
FLAMES OF UNREST.
HE DECIDED HE IS BETTER OFF THE 
MORE CHAOTIC OUR STREETS ARE AND
SO HE IS GOING TO UNFORTUNATELY 
DO NO HEALING BUT ONLY 
EXACERBATE THE SITUATION.
JOE BIDEN STOOD YESTERDAY IN 
CONDEMNED VIOLENCE NO MATTER WHO
COMMITS THAT OFFENSE.
HE REMINDED US ALL VIOLENCE IN 
THIS COUNTRY WAS GOING DOWN 
DURING THE OBAMA YEARS.
WE'VE SEEN MURDERS IN OUR CITIES
INCREASE BY 26% THIS YEAR UNDER 
TRUMP.
THERE IS A REAL CONTRAST HERE 
AND I DON'T THINK ANY VOTER IS 
GOING TO BE FOOLED TO THINK THAT
THE AMERICA WE'RE WATCHING NOW 
IS ANYTHING OTHER THAN DONALD 
TRUMP'S AMERICA.
>>> SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY THE 
BOOK IS THE VIOLENCE INSIDE US 
AND IT IS OUT NOW.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.

>> YOU BET.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> TRUE CRIME.
CINEMATIC.
REAL LIFE DRAMA.
STUNNING.
THE UNTHINKABLE.
FOLLOW THE CLUES, THE HUNT.
