THERE IS NO OFFICIAL WORD ON
WHERE EXACTLY HIS STOPS WILL BE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS VISIT.
ALSO PROTESTERS WANTING TO MAKE
THEIR VOICES HEARD AS WELL.
WE DO NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL
ITINERARY.
THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID AS
MUCH
THREE TWEETS THAT HE PLANS TO ME
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST
RESPONDERS AND SOME OF THE
VICTIMS FROM SUNDAY MORNING'S
MASSACRE.
WE ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDING
COVERAGE HERE WHEREVER THE
PRESIDENT MAKO.
WE ARE UNSURE IF HE WILL SPEAK
AT THIS POINT TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS OR MAKE AN ADDRESS AT
THIS POINT.
WE WILL BE FOLLOWING
THAT.
CERTAINLY A LOT OF QUESTIONS
HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP OVER THEPAST COUPLE OF DAYS ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT THE PRESIDENT IS
READY TO DO SOMETHING.
THAT IS A PHRASE WE HAVE HEARD
QUITE A BIT THE LAST COUPLE OF
DAYS.
AIR FORCE ONE IS ON THE
GROUND AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR
FORCE BASE, COMING TO A STOP.
THE PRESIDENT TWEETING SIX
MINUTES AGO IN HONOR OF NATIONAL
PURPLE HEART DAY, HONORING THE
COUNTRY'S PURPLE HEART
RECIPIENTS.
HE TWEETED ABOUT THE SITUATION
IN DAYTON, REFERENCING THE
SHOOTER'S POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
DAYTON HAS BEEN REFERENCED
SEVERAL TIMES ON THE PRESIDENT'S
TWITTER.
AFTER THE SHOOTING AND SPEAKING
ABOUT THE FIRST RESPONDERS WHO
WERE ABLE TO STOP THE SHOOTING
SO QUICKLY.
NOTHING SCHEDULED FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS.
BEFORE HE LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE A
MARINE ONE TO GO TO ANDREWS AND
FLY HERE TODAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP
DID ANSWER QUESTIONS.
WE WILL BRING THAT TO YOU HERE
IN A FEW MINUTES.
THERE WERE SOME POINTED
QUESTIONS AND WE UNDERSTAND
THERE ARE A LOT OF TALKING
POINTS ALL HAPPENING
SIMULTANEOUSLY FROM THE GRIEVING
PROCESS THAT FAMILIES ARE STILL
GOING THROUGH, NOT JUST HERE IN
DAYTON BUT ALSO IN EL PASO AS WE
SAW FROM THE MASS SHOOTING IN EL
PASO.
IN DAYTON.
31 PEOPLE KILLED.
THERE IS THAT.
ABOUT THE GRIEVING PROCESS,
AND
REALLY RAMPING UP THE PAST FEW
DAYS.
IT HAS BEEN A TALKING POINT FOR
YEARS BUT IT CERTAINLY IN THESE
PARTS IS INTENSIFYING THE
POLITICAL CONVERSATION AS WELL.
THESE ARE
LIVE PICTURES OF
AIR FORCE ONE ON THE GROUND AT
WRIGHT-PATTERSONTHE PRESIDENT LEFT AROUND 9:00
A.M. FROM ANDREWS AIR FORCE
BASE.
JUST TOUCHED DOWN MINUTES AGO IN
THE MIAMI VALLEY.
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HIS
PLANS ARE FOR THIS TRIP.
HE WILL MEET WITH VICTIMS,
FAMILIES AND SURVIVORS, POSSIBLY
FLAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST
RESPONDERS.
ANYONE CONNECTED TO THE TRAGEDY
WE SAW UNFOLD SUNDAY MORNING.
WE ARE WAITING FOR THE PRESIDENT
TO DEPLANE.
WE ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT
HE'S GOING TO BE DOING HERE AT
WRIGHT-PATTERSON.
IF HE WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS OR
ADDRESS THE MEDIA.
THERE IS A LARGE MEDIA PRESENCE.
DAYTON IN THE HEADLINES ALL
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
NOT ONLY THE LOCAL MEDIA BUT
NATIONAL MEDIA IN TOWN AS WELL.
WE HEARD FROM MAYOR NAN
WHALEY YESTERDAY ABOUT THE VISIT
OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.
SHE SAID SHE WILL IN HER
OFFICIAL CAPACITY WELCOME THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
WE ARE ALSO
UNDERSTANDING THERE
ARE SOME OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS
THERE.
WE EXPECT TO SEE GOVERNOR MIKE
DEWINE, SENATOR SHERROD BROWN,
SENATOR ROB PORTMAN IS ALSO HERE
AS WELL.
THERE WILL BE THOSE.
A LIVE SHOT OF CONGRESS IN MIKE
TURNER.
WE ARE WAITING TO GREET THE
PRESIDENT.
CONGRESSMAN MIKE TURNER HIMSELF
MAKING A STATEMENT.
YOU SEE SENATOR SHERROD BROWN
AND MAYOR NAN WHALEY AS WELL
AWAITING THE PRESIDENT.
I BRING UP CONGRESSMAN MIKE
TURNER JUST BECAUSE YESTERDAY
THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN FROM
THE DAYTON AREA MADE A STATEMENT
AS TO HIS POSITION
ON A VERY
POLITICALLY CHARGED TOPIC AND
THAT IS THAT OF ASSAULT WEAPONS.
THAT IS A
STATEMENT IN WHICH HE
CAME OUT AND SAID THAT HE IS IN
SUPPORT OF MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO
POSSESS ASSAULT WEAPONS.
AS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT HE
WAS MENTIONING THAT SUCH WEAPONS
ARE SO DESTRUCTIVE AND DEADLY
WHEN IN THE WRONG HANDS.
HE CALLED THAT INTOLERABLE.
KEEPING IN MIND -- THE REASON I
BRING UP CONGRESSMAN TURNER IS
BECAUSE HE IS A LONG-STANDING
MEMBER OF THE ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEE AND THE HOUSE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
CONGRESSMAN TURNER, A MAMMOTH
POLITICAL SWAY IN WASHINGTON.
A PERSONAL TOPIC FOR HIM.
HIS DAUGHTER ON SUNDAY LATER IN
THE DAY HE LET US KNOW SHE WAS
IN THE OREGON DISTRICT WHEN THE
SHOOTING TOOK PLACE.
HERE IS HIS STATEMENT THAT HE
SENT TO 2 NEWS.
"I PREVENT LEGISLATION THAT
PREVENTS THE SALE OF
MILITARY-STYLE WEAPONS.
THE CARNAGE THESE MILITARY-STYLE
WEAPONS ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE ONE
AVAILABLE TO THE WRONG PEOPLE IS
INTOLERABLE."
HE HEARD THE RED FLAG
LEGISLATION.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS
COME UP.
THE PRESIDENT MENTIONED IT WHEN
HE WAS DISCUSSING WHAT HE WAS
PLANNING TO DO IN REGARDS TO GUN
CONTROL OR ANY SORT OF
LEGISLATIVE REFORM.
THE PRESIDENT SPEAKING ABOUT
SPECIFICALLY RED FLAG
LEGISLATION, SOMETHING THAT
WOULD BE FOCUSED ON PEOPLE
WHO
MAY SHOW THOSE SIGNS THAT
SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN LIKE
THIS.
RED FLAG IS A TERM WE HAVE HEARD
A LOT ABOUT, EVEN FROM
GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE.
HE INTRODUCED HIS PLAN FOR GUN
CONTROL OR WHAT HIS RESPONSE
WOULD BE TO THE SHOOTING IN
OHIO.
HE FOCUSED VERY MUCH ON THAT RED
FLAG LEGISLATION.
WE ARE GETTING A LOOK AT AIR
FORCE ONE TAXIING IN.
A HEADS UP AS TO WHAT WILL TAKE
PLACE HERE WHEN IT IS PARKED.
IT WILL BE A NUMBER OF MINUTES
BEFORE THE PRESIDENT AND THE
FIRST LADY WILL BE DEPLANING,
AND THEN THE MOTORCADE WILL BE
IN ACTION.
WE DON'T HAVE THE EXACT
ITINERARY.
THAT HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN OUT
WHERE THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO
GO.
THE TIMING
OF WHERE HE IS GOING
TO BE, HOW MANY PLACES HE IS
GOING TO GO.
WE HAVE REPORTERS STATIONED AT
MULTIPLE SPOTS IN THE MIAMI
VALLEY.
SPOTS THAT WERE VERY MUCH PART
OF THE STORYLINE OF SUNDAY
MORNING'S MASS SHOOTING IN THE
OREGON DISTRICT.
WE HAVE A REPORTER IN THE OREGON
DISTRICT AND SEVERAL AT MIAMI
VALLEY HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEY
WERE PATIENTS THAT WERE TAKEN
THERE.
ALSO REPORTING FOR
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE.
IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS, THE
PRESIDENT'S MOTORCADE -- THIS IS
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE.
HE IS VISITING DAYTON MAYOR NAN
WHALEY.
THE FULL EXPECTATION IS FOR HIM
TO BE IN DAYTON AT SOME POINT.
WE DON'T HAVE CONFIRMATION OF
EXACTLY WHERE AND WHEN.
THE REASON I BRING THAT UP AS IF
YOU HAVE ANY WHERE ARE TRYING TO
GO, KEEP IN MIND THE
PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE SHUTS
DOWN HIGHWAYS.
KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU ARE
HEADING OUT AND YOU PLAN TO OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.
HE IS SCHEDULED TO LEAVE
PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, WE
WERE TOLD EARLIER THAT HE IS
PLANNING TO LEAVE AROUND 12:15.
THAT IS A VERY ROUGH ESTIMATE.
THAT COULD BE MOVED SLIGHTLY,
BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU'RE
TRYING TO TRAVEL ANYWHERE ON THE
MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN AND AROUND
DOWNTOWN DAYTON OR AROUND
PASSION AIR FORCE BASE, YOU
MIGHT ENCOUNTER THE MOTORCADE.
WE HAD A
PICTURE-IN-PICTURE
OF PEOPLE GATHERING IN THE
OREGON DISTRICT SAYING WE DON'T
KNOW WHERE HE WILL BE, WE HAVE
REPORTERS IN THE DISTRICT, YOU
CAN SEE HERE PEOPLE ARE
GATHERING, SOME PEOPLE HAVE
SIGNS,
POSSIBLY IN PROTEST.
WHETHER OR NOT HE MAKES IT
THERE, WE DON'T KNOW.
WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR HIM TO
DEPLANE, POSSIBLY SPEECH OF THE
MEDIA BEFORE HE GETS TO THE
MOTORCADE AND GOES TO LIKELY ONE
OF THESE DESTINATIONS.
WE CAN'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE NOW.
I WANT TO SAY THIS AND WE ARE
WATCHING ALONG WAITING FOR THE
PRESIDENT TO DEPLANE.
IF THERE ANY REMARKS HE GIVES WE
WILL BRING THAT TO THE, BUT
BEFORE HE GOT ON THE PLANE, YOU
JUST SHOW THAT PICTURE OF PEOPLE
GATHERED IN OREGON DISTRICT AND
WONDERING IF HE WOULD GO THERE
AND THE REMARKS THAT HE MAY
MAKE.
SOME OF THINGS HIS CRITICS WANT
FOR HE SAID THIS WHEN ASKED
ABOUT HIS CRITICS.
HE SAID MANY OF HIS CRITICS OR
POLITICAL PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE
A POINT.
HE ALSO SAID THIS ABOUT DAYTON.
WE ARE GOING TO DATE PERSON THAN
EL PASO.
WE WILL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REALLY CONGRATULATE FIRST
RESPONDERS.
HE ALSO DID MENTION
, THIS IS THE
QUOTE, MANY TALKS OF THE PAST
FEW DAYS AND I THINK WE WILL
COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WILL
BE REALLY GOOD REFERRING TO GUN
REFORM AND OTHER MEASURES.
THAT IS PART OF A NEWS
CONFERENCE WE AIM TO BE BRINGING
TO YOU SHORTLY.
HE SAID BACKGROUND CHECKS
WERE IMPORTANT, SOMETHING HE
THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.
WHEN ASKED ABOUT ASSAULT RIFLES
HE SAID I WILL CERTAINLY BRING
THIS THERE.
THERE IS A GREAT APPETITE FOR
BACKGROUND CHECKS SO IT LOOKS
LIKE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, THE
CONVERSATION ABOUT GUN REFORM
WILL BE CENTERED ON BACKGROUND
CHECKS.
YOU HEARD FROM SHERROD BROWN
SHORTLY AFTER THE SHOOTING TOOK
PLACE THAT HE WANTED TO GET
CONGRESS BACK IN SESSION, WANT
TO GET THE HOUSE BILL PASSED
THAT WOULD REQUIRE UNIVERSAL
BACKGROUND CHECKS, STILL NOT A
LOT OF MOVEMENT ON THAT THAT
WE'VE HEARD.
SO FAR HE HAS BEEN PRESSURING
MITCH MCCONNELL TO TRY AND BRING
EVERYONE BACK BUT NO PROGRESS.
THAT WE KNOW OF THAT HAS BEEN
MADE ON THAT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP
SAYS HE
WOULDN'T BRING THEM BACK UNTIL
THEY WERE CLOSE OR HE WOULD CALL
FOR THEM TO COME BACK UNTIL
SOMETHING WAS CLOSE.
THE DOOR HAS OPENED TO AIR FORCE
ONE AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IN THE FIRST
LADY IS ALONG AS
WELL.
AFTER HE COMES DOWN, WE FULLY
EXPECT TO SEE THE GREETING FROM
VARIOUS DIGNITARIES AND THERE
YOU SEE THE PRESIDENT ALONG WITH
THE FIRST LADY EXITING AIR FORCE
ONE.
DAYTON HAS BEEN ON THE
PRESIDENT'S RADARS AND SUNDAY.
HE SPOKE AT LENGTH ABOUT THE
SITUATION HERE TALKED ABOUT
FATTY WOULD BE DIRECTING ANY
ASSISTANCE NEEDED.
WE HAVE HEARD SEVERAL TIMES FROM
THE FBI AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN
THE INVESTIGATION.
THE FBI REALLY LOOKING IN TO
WHAT KIND OF IDEOLOGIES.
THAT LED TO THE SHOOTING.
VITAE -- VIOLENT IDEOLOGIES.
THE LATEST PRESS
CONFERENCE WITH
THE POLICE AND FBI.
THE PRESIDENT ON THE GROUND AND
YOU CAN SEE THE MOTORCADE THERE
IN THE FOREGROUND.
THE PRESIDENT NOW BEING
MET
BY A HOST OF DIGNITARIES, SAW
THE GOVERNOR THERE.
WE SAW CONGRESSMAN MIKE TURNER.
AS YOU KNOW, REPRESENTED FROM
THE DAYTON AREA.
WE SAW SENATOR SHERROD BROWN WHO
THE PRESIDENT IS SPEAKING WITH
NOW.
I THINK PEOPLE
ARE LOOKING TO
SEE WHAT THAT CONVERSATION IS
LIKE.
GOVERNOR WAY -- MAYOR WHALEY NOT
MINCING WORDS WHEN DISCUSSING
SOME OF THE THINGS THE PRESIDENT
HAS SAID AND THE RHETORIC AS SHE
CALLS IT THAT HE IS SAID.
YESTERDAY SHE SAID OF THE
PRESIDENT, HIS RHETORIC HAS BEEN
PAINFUL FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND
THEN WHEN ASKED IF SHE WAS GOING
TO SHARE HER THOUGHTS, NOT ONLY
ABOUT THAT, BUT ALSO MILITARY
STYLE WEAPONRY THAT CITIZENS
HAVE THAT SHE THINKS SHOULD BE
BANNED.
SHE WAS ASKED WHICH YOU SHARE
THOSE POINTS WITH THE PRESIDENT
AND SHE SAID OF COURSE, I'M
SHARING IT WITH YOU, I WILL
SHARE IT WITH THE PRESIDENT.
THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING
CONVERSATION TO HEAR AS WELL.
HE HAS CALLED MAYOR WHALEY ON
THE PHONE, THAT WAS SOMETHING
SHE CONFIRMED EARLY ON AFTER
THIS HAPPENED IN THE PRESIDENT
DID MAKE CONTACT WITH HER.
THE MAYOR ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO
MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD TO THE
PRESIDENT TODAY.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HEARD IN
THAT PRESS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY
WHEN SHE WAS IN THE OREGON
DISTRICT SAYING PEOPLE NEEDED TO
MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD, LET THE
PRESIDENT KNOW WHAT THEY THINK
REGARDING GUN CONTROL AND
POTENTIAL LEGISLATION, WHAT THEY
WANT TO SEE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
WHEN IT COMES TO ACTION ON THE
SITUATION.
WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT'S FOCUS ON
BACKGROUND CHECKS RIGHT NOW.
THAT IS SOMETHING HE SAID AS HE
WAS LEAVING WASHINGTON HEADED
FOR DAYTON.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET TO HEAR SOME
ABOUT THAT, THOSE WERE THE
REMARKS WE ARE SAYING AS HE WAS
LEAVING ON THE WAY HERE.
INTERESTING CAMERA SHOT WILL
TAKE YOU BACK TO THE OREGON
DISTRICT SHORTLY.
A GROUP IS GATHERING
THEIR AT
THE MEMORIAL AND THERE ARE
SEVERAL THAT ARE SET UP IN THE
OREGON DISTRICT.
YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE RIGHT
SIDE.
AND THERE WAS A CROWD GATHERING
THERE.
8:00 AND I FOR THAT
VIGIL AND IT
WAS DURING THAT VIGIL THAT
GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE WAS DROWNED
OUT FROM HIS REMARKS WHICH HE
WAS TRYING TO EXPRESS HIS
SYMPATHIES.
HE WAS DROWNED OUT BY THE CHANT
OF DO SOMETHING.
IT STARTED FROM ONE INDIVIDUAL
IN THE CROWD AND GREW TO A
CHORUS THAT DROWNED OUT THE
GOVERNOR AT ONE POINT.
HE SAID YESTERDAY HE UNDERSTOOD
THEIR ANGER, ADDING HE AND HIS
WIFE ARE ALSO ANGRY
AND THE CALL
FOR DO SOMETHING YESTERDAY, THE
GOVERNOR SAID HE WAS DOING
SOMETHING WHEN HE UNVEILED HIS
PLANS.
WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT PREPARED
TO DO, THE DATE CITY
COMMISSIONER DARRELL FAIR --
DARRELL FAIRCHILD RELEASED A
STATEMENT SAYING AND I'M
PARAPHRASING, DON'T, UNLESS YOU
ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING.
THAT WAS HEARD BY MIKE
DEWINE, HE OUTLINED HIS PROPOSED
LEGISLATIVE REFORM YESTERDAY
PASSING A RED FLAG LAW THAT
WOULD ALLOW THE COURTS TO ISSUE
SAFETY PROTECTION ORDERS TO GET
GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS,
RED FLAG LAWS OR SOMETHING THE
PRESIDENT SPOKE ABOUT WHEN HE
ADDRESSED THE NATION ABOUT THE
SITUATION IN DAYTON AND EL PASO.
HE TALKED ABOUT REFORMING MENTAL
HEALTH LAWS THAT IDENTIFY
MENTALLY DISTURBED INDIVIDUALS
WHO MIGHT COMMIT ACTS OF
VIOLENCE.
HE SAID --
HE
SAID MENTAL ILLNESS AND
HATRED PULLS THE TRIGGER, NOT
THE GUN.
GIVING HIS POSITION ON THAT.
WE SO
ROBERT -- SENATOR ROB
PORTMAN WALKING BY IF YOU'RE
CURIOUS, IT'S JUST A DETAIL, NOT
INTENDING TO MAKE ANYTHING, JUST
POINTING OUT AND OBSERVING WHAT
WE SAW.
GETTING INTO THAT CAR WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FIRST LADY
MELANIA TRUMP, WE SAW MAYOR NAN
WHALEY, ROB PORTMAN AND SHERROD
BROWN AS WELL AS MIKE TURNER
, IN
THE VEHICLE THERE WITH THE
PRESENT TO THE UNITED STATES AND
