THIS IS ANOTHER VERY SAD DAY IN

AMERICA. ANOTHER SENSELESS SHOOTING.

THIS TIME AT A HIGH SCHOOL IN

PARKLAND, FLORIDA, WHERE A

GUNMAN, A FORMER STUDENT, OPENED

FIRE YESTERDAY AGAIN.

17 LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST, OVER A

DOZEN HOSPITALIZED.

AND OUR PRESIDENT, AS HE SHOULD,

WEIGHED IN ON THE TRAGIC EVENTS

THIS MORNING FROM THE WHITE

HOUSE.

>> WE ARE ALL JOINED TOGETHER AS

ONE AMERICAN FAMILY.

AND YOUR SUFFERING IS OUR BURDEN

ALSO.

NO CHILD, NO TEACHER, SHOULD

EVER BE IN DANGER IN AN AMERICAN

SCHOOL. >> Jimmy: AGREED.

>> NO PARENT SHOULD EVER HAVE TO

FEAR FOR THEIR SONS AND

DAUGHTERS WHEN THEY KISS THEM

GOOD-BYE IN THE MORNING.

>> Jimmy: AGREED.

SO I AGREE WITH BOTH THOSE

STATEMENTS.

AND HERE'S WHAT YOU DO TO FIX

THAT, TELL YOUR BUDDIES IN

CONGRESS, TELL PAUL RYAN AND

MITCH McCONNELL AND MARCO RUBIO,

ALL THE FAMILY MEN WHO CARE SO

MUCH ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITIES,

THAT WHAT WE NEED ARE LAWS, REAL

LAWS, THAT DO EVERYTHING

POSSIBLE TO KEEP ASSAULT RIFLES

OUT OF THE HANDS OF PEOPLE WHO

ARE GOING TO SHOOT OUR KIDS.

GO ON TV AND TELL THEM TO DO

THAT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.

THAT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE

COMMON SENSE YOU TOLD US YOU

WERE GOING TO BRING TO THE WHITE

HOUSE.

IT'S TIME TO BRING IT, WE NEED

IT. TELL THESE CONGRESSMEN AND

LOBBYISTS WHO INFEST THAT SWAMP

YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO

DRAIN, FORCE THESE ALLEGEDLY

CHRISTIAN MEN AND WOMEN WHO

STUFF THEIR POCKETS WITH MONEY

FROM THE NRA YEAR AFTER YEAR

AFTER YEAR TO DO SOMETHING.

NOW, NOT LATER.

NOW. AND DON'T YOU DARE LET ANYONE

SAY IT'S TOO SOON TO BE TALKING

ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU SAID IT

AFTER VEGAS, YOU SAID IT AFTER

SANDY HOOK, YOU SAY THAT AFTER

EVERY ONE OF THESE EIGHT NOW

FATAL SCHOOL SHOOTINGS WE HAD IN

THIS COUNTRY THIS YEAR.

CHILDREN ARE BEING MURDERED.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

DO SOMETHING.

WE STILL HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED

ABOUT IT.

YOU STILL HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING

ABOUT IT.

YOU'VE LITERALLY DONE NOTHING.

ACTUALLY, YOU'VE DONE WORSE THAN

NOTHING.

YOU LIKE TO SAY THIS IS A MENTAL

HEALTH ISSUE.

ONE OF YOUR VERY FIRST ACTS AS

PRESIDENT, MR. TRUMP, WAS TO

ROLL BACK THE REGULATIONS THAT

WERE DESIGNED TO KEEP FIREARMS

OUT OF THE HANDS OF MENTALLY

ILL. YOU DID THAT.

YOUR PARTY VOTED TO REPEAL THE

MANDATES ON COVERAGE FOR MENTAL

HEALTH. SO I AGREE, THIS IS A MENTAL

ILLNESS ISSUE, BECAUSE IF YOU

DON'T THINK WE NEED TO DO

SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU'RE

OBVIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

IT IS AMAZING TO ME THAT -- [

APPLAUSE ] IF ONE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CAUSES

A CAR ACCIDENT, WE'VE GOT TO

BUILD A WALL TO KEEP THE REST OF

THEM OUT. WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR

SOLUTIONS TO THAT PROBLEM AND

NOT THIS ONE?

EVERY REASONABLE AMERICAN,

REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, KNOWS

THAT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

SOMETHING.

AND WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING.

BUT GO AHEAD, I'LL LET YOU

FINISH. >> TO EVERY PARENT, TEACHER, AND

CHILD WHO IS HURTING SO BADLY,

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU, WHATEVER

YOU NEED, WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO

EASE YOUR PAIN.

>> Jimmy: GREAT.

OKAY.

WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT YOU CAN DO

TO EASE OUR PAIN AND TO PREVENT

FUTURE PAIN IS SOMETHING.

8 OUT OF 10 AMERICANS AGREE THAT

A TEENAGER SHOULDN'T HAVE AN

AR-15. SO WHY DOES A TEENAGER LEGALLY

HAVE AN AR-15?

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, THESE

GUYS FORGOT THEY WORK FOR US,

NOT THE NRA.

US.

AND THIS TIME WE'RE NOT GOING TO

ALLOW YOU TO BOW YOUR HEAD IN

PRAYER FOR TWO WEEKS.

[ APPLAUSE ]

UNTIL YOU GET AN ALL-CLEAR AND

WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT THING.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU DO

SOMETHING THIS TIME.

AND IF YOU AGREE WITH ME, AND

MAYBE YOU DON'T, BUT IF YOU DO,

HERE'S ONE WAY YOU CAN HELP.

GO TO EVERYTOWN.ORG.

ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED IS

THERE. YOU CAN WRITE TO YOUR

REPRESENTATIVES AND CALL THEM.

IF THEY DON'T LISTEN, VOTE THEM

OUT OF OFFICE.

WHATEVER YOU DO --

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

-- DO SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I FOR ONE AM VERY, VERY,

VERY, VERY TIRED OF THIS.

>> ENTIRELY PREMATURE TO BE

DISCUSSING ABOUT LEGISLATIVE

SOLUTIONS, IF ANY.

>> IT'S JUST NOT THE TIME TO

DIVE INTO THE POLITICS AND TRY

TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS.

>> I THINK ANYBODY WHO WOULD

POLITICIZE THIS SHOOTING SHOULD

BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

>> THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO HAVE

THE DISCUSSION, AND IT'S FRANKLY

I THINK INSULTING TO THE

AMERICAN PUBLIC RIGHT NOW TO TRY

TO POLITICIZE SOMETHING.

>> THE REACTION OF DEMOCRATS TO

ANY TRAGEDY IS TO TRY TO

POLITICIZE IT.

>> I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK

ABOUT THIS IN A FEW DAYS.

RIGHT NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

>> THERE'S A TIME AND PLACE FOR

A POLITICAL DEBATE.

BUT NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE AS

A COUNTRY.

>> THIS ISN'T A GUNS SITUATION.

WE COULD GO INTO IT BUT IT'S A
