the president spoke to senator cornyn on friday about the bipartisan bill he and senator murphy introduced to improve federal compliance with criminal background check legislation. while discussions on on going and revisions is being you made, the president is supportive of efforts to improve the federal background check system. >>> to you, michael, it seems like the position for some right now, a lot of republicans, hey, we have to fix the system that currently exists before we can talk about do anything else. but for the president to say he supports fixing the system that currently exists, it would have done nothing in this situation here. i'm struck by this. the president says he supports the cornyn bill but the latest proposed federal budget would cut funding by about 15% for the two federal programs that previpr provide money to the states to report data for background checks. >> i think the most important thing for both sides is to do something. it's been almost 20 years since the columbine massacre. the contours of this debate haven't shifted much since the '90s. if a situation cann

. >> what do you think of the cornyn-murphy bill that's been revised? it doesn't do anything more, but encourages everybody to follow the laws already in place and provide funding for it. a number of gun-action proponents said, well, it's better than nothing. i wonder whether it is better than nothing. it gives politicians cover to say, see, i did something about guns. yet, nothing so meaningful that might actually prevent attacks like we saw in parkland. >> yeah, that bill was proposed in the wake of the southerla su springs shooting in texas. it'd be a step forward. we also need wholistic change. it is not enough to take baby steps. we need big strides on this issue. that includes passing a bill like the bill that failed by a handful of votes in senate. closing the loopholes. there's a host of things. i mean, it's no different than car safety, right? seat belt laws didn't stop every traffic death. we had rumble strips and speed limit laws and better car technology. all of these things together will reduce gun violence in america. we're not going to be

the cornyn/murphy, that should be, i think that seems like a no-brainer to me. >> we'll see if it happened. that's the thing. and we talked about banning bump stocks right after vegas. and it was an immediate pressing issue, and everyone talked about it. the news cycle moved on and suddenly, it wasn't talked about any longer and no vote was held on the floor. you know this better than anybody. this is a really busy cycle. and there's already a lot of time being taken up by immigration right now. by the other things that are on the agenda. the question is, as you said, will it come to the floor. hugh, though, let me ask a question about how much the president's support or non-support makes a difference. the white house is saying in a statement that he does support the idea of this cornyn bill, this background check bill with some language potentially being changed there. this, though, is coming from the white house. it's not coming from donald trump's mouth directly. do you think that that's going to matter? >> the president has enormous opportunity to set the agenda. he could, with a singl

>> it has overwhelming support, bipartisan co-sponsors, mitch mcconnell, chris murphy, all on this bill. and it was something that had been kind of sitting on the sidelines, frankly, while they added support to it. it came up in the wake of the sunderland springs shooting. then we saw the tragic shooting in parkland. that became the focus of discussion. and what's happened since then is that democrats are now arguing that, look, this can't be the entirety of our debate about guns. this bill doesn't go far enough. so chuck schumer went on the senate floor and suggested that he wouldn't allow it to move to the floor because it really doesn't capture or wouldn't have fixed what went wrong in parkland. he urged a broader debate about other types of gun legislation that might -- that many of these students are advocating for. things like raising the age to buy an ar-15, potentially banning assault weapons, those kinds of things. conservatives are also concerned about this fixed nics bill, primarily the senate libertarians in the senate and rand paul who essentially say that it violates peopl
