David Hogg Gets Fact-Checked On Air By CNN Anchor Alisyn Camerota
tell me about yesterday I've been talking about Saturday David what what
do you think that the outcome was I think the outcome was really a great
start and wait we witnessed on Saturday was really the birth of a revolution
this is just the beginning nobody should be thinking this is the end especially
the politicians that are out there that are supported by the gun lobby and the
NRA that was just an outpouring of support to show the materialization of
what support we have online and do you have evidence Lauren that politicians
are listening definitely just seeing the stuff on Twitter that they've been
talking about Rubio posting his thoughts on what happened I just think it's
definitely working and we're getting politicians attention you know I want to
talk to you about Senator Marco Rubio because my eyes were opened when I was
there you guys have sort of targeted him as somebody who you don't think is doing
enough and who you sort of depict as being callous but you know I had a
chance to talk to Scott beagles mom he of course is your geography teacher who
was killed in the massacre and she said that Marco Rubio behind the scenes has
reached out to her had all sorts of conversations with her talked about how
what they've done so far on Capitol Hill in terms of the fix Nick's act in terms
of the stopped school violence act it's part of the omnibus yes these are low
hanging fruit yes you want more but should you be giving credit for even
these incremental steps David I think it's important to realize that it's good
that we're having these incremental steps but just like we saw in Florida
where we rose the age to 21 you can still purchase a gun at the age of 18 if
it's a private sale and like with many of the laws that were there passing
right now where they tried kind of fixing the Dickey amendment they didn't
give any more funding what they did is they said like you officially can do
research but we just aren't going to fund it and they're leaving a lot of
loopholes in here and trying to seem like they are doing things when in
reality these laws have more holes than Swiss cheese I understand but I guess my
point is is that if you're trying to get everybody together if you're trying to
have solutions do you think it is helpful when you say things like Marco
Rubio is putting you know for a dollar and five cents or whatever your coupon
said that's how much he values students I mean do you think that's on
necessarily provocative no I think it's not enough provide I don't think it's
even provocative enough because I Marco Rubio is still supported by the NRA
which works to ensure not the safety of gun owners and the safety of Americans
everywhere but to ensure that they saw more guns and at the end of the day so
long as he is being paid by the NRA he's not gonna work to fix anything that is
gonna be concrete change he's gonna make laws that get him reelected but actually
don't have any major effect well I mean look I'm not a Marco Rubio spokesperson
but now that I've heard what he's doing behind the scenes he is sponsoring all
of these various bills two of which were part of the Omnibus and so things are
happening and all I'm suggesting is that maybe your ire is misplaced you know
since he is actually trying to work across the aisle yeah I think it's a
great step that he's trying to work across the aisle but I think so long as
he's supported by the NRA no matter what he does there's always going to be
loopholes and anything that he does because we've seen again and again we've
passed gotten legislation in this country and at the end of the day you
can pass as many laws as you want but if those laws are not very strong and they
have so many loopholes that the NRA works so hard to ensure that they have
they aren't going to be strong enough so it's not Lauren
one of our foxnews contributors is Rick Santorum he's a former Pennsylvania
senator he had a suggestion instead of marching for what he thinks that you
kids should do so listen to this how about kids instead of looking to someone
else to solve their problem do something about maybe taking CPR classes or try to
deal with with situations that where there is a violence she would ask you
they took action yeah they took action to ask someone to pass a law they didn't
take action say how do i as an individual deal with this problem how am
I going to do something about stopping bullying within my own community what am
I going to do to actually help respond to a shooter what am I going to do those
are the kinds of things where you can take it internally and say here's how
I'm going to deal with this here's how I'm gonna help the situation what's your
response to that I just think it's completely absurd that he's even
thinking about teaching us CPR when we're having gun violence all across
America and even in our schools the fact that
he's saying CPR when my friends are dying on our floor and nothing's being
done about it is just horrible I think he's just using it as a distraction to
get the attention away from guns I have two things to say on that I think it's
important to realize that we there are many programs out there that work to
ensure especially in communities that are heavily affected by gun violence I
saw last night on the news that there's a program in Chicago where they work to
ensure that students are able to respond and administer whatever first day they
can assuming the person's still alive but at the end of the day if you take a
bullet from an ar-15 to the head no amount of CPR is gonna save you because
you're dead by the way he's a CNN contributor I knew him from Fox News but
he is a CNN contributor last I want to ask about how you guys are going after
the NRA you know you know I think the intro thought that we just played there
you said that the NRA is responsible is allowing the slaughter of kids look
again I don't want to be an NRA spokesperson
but obviously they don't want the slaughter of children NRA members have
children themselves people who work at the NRA have their own children do you
think that you are polarizing in saying things like that and maybe it
would help to get the NRA on board with what some of your I think if the NRA was
on board they would actually implement safety and they would actually give
people grants to these schools and not just make it a few grants that you look
into it they're programs to actually ensure ensure just school safety alone
have not been enough what they do what the NRA does from my perspective they
don't teach enough gun safety they don't they were a good organization and many
of the members of the NRA are safe responsible people I've said it again
I'll say it I'll say it now again to men most members of the NRA are safe
responsible gun owners that just want to protect their Second Amendment rights to
own a weapon what the problem is is when the people at the top are paid by the
gun industry to ensure this scare that they scare American citizens and that
they're able to sell more guns and scare more people as a result they don't get
people enough training to own these guns and I want people to understand we are
not trying to take your guns we understand that you have a right to the
Second Amendment and own a firearm we just don't think that if you have a
criminal history history of mental illness or a history of domestic
violence that you should be able to get a weapon I think that's something that
we can all get behind I think a lot of the time people
just misconstrue us and manipulate us into seeming like we're trying to take
your guns and that's what the inner has been doing to where they're trying to
scare people into buying more guns so that they can make more money and scare
more people and I think that just plain wrong well I completely agree with David
I think the main problem is that the people at the top of the NRA are not
showing what most of the members of the inner I want and that's to be a
responsible gun owner but their whole agenda is just selling more guns and I
think that's wrong that they're not representing the people they're supposed
to be representing well look it sounds like you all are going to try to find
some common ground I know you have another event planned for April 20th a
school walkout we will obviously be following you and actually we have town
halls on April 7th that were calling for right now in every congressional
district and if the congressman doesn't show up if they if they can't reschedule
and they just refuse to show up invite their opponent it's as simple as that go
to town hall project org and create your event there there you go a David hog
lauren hog thank you both very much for being with us thank you thank you god
bless you and God bless america
