the reason we're going to washington, d.c. is not just because of the violence that's occurring across this country. but with 300 shootings in schools in this nation. with 343 people died in our city last year because we have too many illegal guns, background checks need to be strengthnded and we're going to washington, d.c. so that our young people voices can be heard. they're in as much fear as any other town across this nation. >> mayor we're going to ride along with you today. you said 343 people died in your city. 300 of those were from gun violence. just on tuesday, someone lost their lives. how important is this march in this moment in time? >> what it says is that one, background checks need to be improved. what it also says to us is that this is one of the most violent nations in the world. there are other nations that don't have this kind of violence. but because we have too many illegal guns and too many guns on the streets oufr cities and suburban communities, these laws have to be changed. >> mayor, you accepted t

we have witnessed in real time what is happening in washington, d.c., and the paralysis and the gridlock, and the deep dysfunction of the insular political culture that is washington when you see that you have three branches of government whether it is the executive or the ledge h slaytive or the bi-cameral with the u.s. senate and the congress, and we have the judicial branch dominated by perhaps more right of center republican thought. in california, you are absolutely right about the executive branch and the bi-cameral legislative branch are dominated by the democrats have, and nonetheless, we are the most productive, progressive legislative house in america, bar none, and accomplishing the most far-reaching climate policies in the entire world and raising the wage to $15 an hour, and investing in health care for undocumented children, so we have to pay the costs, so at the end of the day, and dress some preventative health care, and make g sh making sure that there is equal pay for women doing equal work, and most far reaching gun restrictive gun control and gun ammunition laws in th

d.c. their estimates of the crowd swelled to as much as half a million people we heard speaker after speaker from across the country some as young as eleven years old who'd lost siblings and parents to gun violence but this has been followed where and despite the fact the president from another politicians are no longer in washington d.c. it's spring break i think it will be hard for them to ignore the message that has resonated throughout washington d.c. today and of course it isn't just about what's happened here in d.c. there been other protests across the united states and indeed across the world around eight hundred other events making this a truly global of. andy do you think this march is expected of these marches of course because so many of the people are expected to change anything in terms of politicians paying attention. but i think it's important to know the back in two thousand there was something called the million mom march that was also for gun reform people thought that w

did it all and to washington d.c. if it you believe he changed its rudisha whole approach to kind of that. gaining influence in washington d.c. traditionally basically arab states try to our approach be powerful figures in the white house or is it part meant or pentagon to buy or influence well actually he implicated he literally cheated of the pro is really kind of looking. at a nice little primer and focusing on mr tabor sadat and events in the completely distorting washington d.c. he started to have investment in very syntax he started to buy the loyalty of various journalists and various made media organization ok let me not just to measure as if i may i mean if you look at how wide that net was thrown before the elections if this all comes out that it has been proved that russia was involved the u.a.e. was involved facebook and the data hacking there i mean it's quite extraordinary isn't it the sort of people that were brought to the table in order to get into power i think. in the obama administration or preside

it has impacted newsrooms as well as washington dc -- washington, d.c., silicon valley, hollywood -- virtually every sphere imaginable. i think that when the dust settles here in the state capital that we are going to be usedodel that could through the country, of where we have actually taken an independent investigator and have given all potential claims to that independent investigator , for out of the reach of any influence. we have established a 1-800 hotline and have contracts for two nonprofit agencies. this is about changing the culture, changing processes, to create an environment that hopefully is free of any type of sexual misconduct. you can factor section misconduct in the future and create an environment where someone, a young woman, feels free to make a complaint without fear of retribution. i think that when the dust settles, california could be used as a model for many other state capitals, but especially a place like washington, d.c., instituted mandatory sexual harassment training just last year, in the fall of 2017. this is a societal issue we have to tackle togeth

then washington, d.c., where i am. you can see in the midwest, chicago, and then seattle, the crowd is gathering there as well. though it's 10:20 a.m. so the shooting in parkland, florida, adds to a long list of gun related tragedies in the u.s. it's been nearly three years since news reporter allison parker and photo journalist adam ward were attacked on live television in roanoke, virginia, and killed. since that time, allison's father has become a strong voice against gun violence in our country. he and his wife barbara join us now. as the students from parkland lead the charge on the stage and we'll cut back to them whenever we can. thank you both so much. andy, it is so nice to finally meet you in person. >> indeed. likewise, alisyn. >> tell me why you both came here to washington, d.c. >> we had to be here for these kids. we had to be here for allison. and send a message to the people that aren't taking any action. >> you say they're not taking any action. things actually in the past 24 hours actually have happen
