governor rick scott will be joining, senator marco rubio will be joining us. say hello to sarah lopez who lost her friend jimmy inside that club. the fact that they were trapped in there, that must give you a nightmare, sarah. >> if they had hope to survive, they couldn't. there was no signs. that club is a trap. >> how much a trap? describe for our audience how you were told that jimmy, jimmy va valaquez, that he was among the dead. >> they were telling us a list of the survivors and they said something kind of like if you don't hear the list, like then they might be dead, or something like that because it was a pandemonium. as soon as they started saying that, some people started collapsing. we're talking about almost 250 people there. people were vomiting. crying. i couldn't even hear. by this time, i don't have an official information that they have found his body yet. because it was chaos, chaos. >> thank you so much, sarah lopez. appreciate it. attorney general pam bondi next, then again marco rubio, and then governor rick scott. we'll be right back. wha

i think rick scott, governor of florida, is doing a great job. i think ben nelson, the senator from florida, as well as marco rubio. i think all three leaders in florida are doing it right and that's because they are bringing people together, not going down rabbit holes of partisan attacks. >> yeah. interesting that you mentioned florida governor rick scott from what i understand, president obama has called the mayor of orlando but has not called rick scott. >> i simply don't understand that one. the president has the time. i mean if he can lecture the country about their behavior and what they should and shouldn't be doing and lecture donald trump and throw partisan bombs, he can pick up the phone and call the governor of the state that is dealing with this horrible tragedy. >> pretty easy call to make. pete snyder, thanks for joining us this morning. >>> breaking right now, an active search for a two-year-old boy dragged under water by a gator. we have the very latest on what's being done to find him now. >>> if you are trying to shop at one of

joining us right now is the governor of florida, rick scott, who greets us on what must be the worst day of your governorship, mr. scott, thank you for joining us. >> well, this is sicken iing. it makes you mad. it's clearly an act of terror when somebody walks into a nightclub and basically murders all these individuals so this is an unbelievable tragedy for my state. the first thing we think about is our own state, i have daughters and grand kids, but what i can tell you i've declared a state of emergency for orange county which is where -- i'm about a block away from the nightclub. i've declared a state of emergency to make sure all state resources are available. we have great law enforcement in our state but this is an attack on orlando, florida, america, every one of us. i can tell you in florida we believe in justice and if anybody wants to commit an act of terror in our state we will show up, our justice will be swift and penalties will be severe. this is devastating. >> governor, obviously it's a horrific act of terrorism, the deadliest mass shooting in the history of this co

relief and remission within reach. >>> florida's governor rick scott is adamant what happened behind me is an act of terror. he has been here for most of the day and night and personally called some of the victim eds' families to deliver the news. i went behind the police tape and one on one about the state of this investigation. >> so governor, what's the very latest update on the situation at pulse? >> there's still -- fbi is in there with the local law enforcement. they are notifying families. i've been calling and talking to some of the families that have been notified, which is really heart wrenching. it's frustrating this happened here in my state but our law enforcement has done a good job. i want to thank the law enforcement that went in there and going in there without knowing what was in there. everyone worked together. the fbi, the local state law enforcement, everybody showing up and this is a great community and great state. >> so why did you want to call the families yourself? that's not something you might need to do but why did you feel the need to talk to them? >> i

we had governor rick scott addressing the crowd there, reporters there. the main thing that buddy dyer, the mayor of orlando has said, they have waived the hipaa laws so that doctors and families can communicate freely, and also it struck me that governor rick scott, he made it quite personal, eric. i felt he came there to let everybody there know that their leader is there with them. you're not alone through this. we'll get through this and cooperate with all. levels of authority necessary and that he made sure that he declared a state of emergency so that everyone can get all necessary tools to complete this investigation to find why this happened and how this happened, but mostly it struck me that he made it personal to himself and just to let everybody know that he was there with him. that's what struck me when he got there and almost breaking down. >> and what's so amazing, think about the families and showing up at the hospital in the emergency room when you haven't heard from your son or daughter all night and the hospital officials can't tell you

eventually we found out that last night the president did call governor rick scott. he didn't offer a public thank you to the president. we found out because it appeared on a public schedule that was released of what the governor did yesterday. so despite the fact he's going to meet him at the tarmac, there's an awkward kind of relationship between them. hopefully that stays far in the background and doesn't affect what the president is actually intending to do here in orlando, which is giving the city the first step toward closure that it so desperately needs. >> politics doesn't need to be a part of much of this to say the least. the white house made clear one of the things he wants to do is to talk to survivors. the people who survived that massacre, they're going through so much right now. many of them tell us they haven't slept. they're dealing with issues of survivor guilt, and the white house says the president wants to reach out to these folks. >> it's difficult to put into words what we saw that sunday morning. i'll never forget watching someone who had just

trump will meet monday in new york with florida governor rick scott. it is called a strategy session. some people speculate scott could be a potential running mate. >>> hillary clinton was supposed to deliver a big foreign policy address on thursday, but it felt more like a dump trump rally. clinton mocking her political rival warning not to let him anywhere near the nuclear codes. the former secretary of state unleashing a new persona. we get more from brianna keilar in san diego. >> reporter: good morning, christine and miguel. this was a character speech more than a foreign policy speech. a roast almost if at times. hillary clinton enlists boos and gaffaws. she took to his temperament. >> imagine donald trump sitting in the situation room making life or death decisions on behalf of the united states. imagine him deciding whether to send your spouses or children into battle. imagine if he had not just his twitter account at his disposal when he's angry, but america's entire arsenal. do we want him making those calls? someone thin skinned and quick to

joining us now, florida governor rick scott. ty so much for joining us. our deepest condolences to you, to everyone in florida right now on this worst mass shooting in american history. what can you tell us about the victims? have all the families already been notified? >> wolf, they're working to identify all the individuals and working through getting to their next of kin. it's going to take a period of time. there's a great coordinated effort here down here with local law enforcement, federal, and state. this is sad. it's disgusting. it's clearly an act of terror. you can't imagine it happening anywhere in our country. i never wanted it to happen in my state. we're going to work hard. i hope no one's ever thinking about doing this because our justice is swift here. i've asked for a moment of silence at 6:00 p.m. tonight nationwide. as soon as i think about this, i think about having daughters and having grandkids. you don't ever want to have a call like this that you lost a loved one. my heart goes out to everybody involved. >> it's a horrendous, horre

it took them three days to call rick scott, the governor of florida. he talked to a lot, the prime minister of france and the day after the attacks in which they killed policeman and his wife and plated on facebook. what is going on with this president? he seems to be out of phase. >> it sure seems like that and if you think about it is also an administration that doesn't want to tell governors that this is specifically cited high bobby jindal in louisiana where syrian refugees are coming into states and they want to keep a lot of these governors in the dark so it doesn't surprise me that rick scott was kept in the dark and not contacted. lou: and jeff sessions talked at the white house considered sending refugees to alabama because of obsessions, political retribution. i think there's a login that as we wrap up here. >> it's unbelievable. when donald trump says we need a vetting system won the james clapper will sign off on, that's the most commonsense thing i've ever heard. how that got to be controversial i will never understand. lou: therere those
