Today, Dom started off the show talking about the tale of two cities, specifically their leadership. After the horrific events we saw unfold in Dayton and El Paso over the weekend, the mayors of both cities have taken opposite stances on how they’ll deal with Trump during his Wednesday visit to the respective cities. El Paso Mayor Dee Margo made it clear that he will meet with the President, in an effort to help his city’s citizens. When asked whether or not he’s aware of the opposition of Trump helping out, Margo said, “The President is coming out, I will meet with the President, and I guess with people with lots of time on their hands, I’ll deal with their emails and their phone calls.” Mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley, took a different approach. While she is indeed meeting with the President, she encouraged protests, stating, “[Trump]’s made his bed and he’s got to lie in it. His rhetoric has been painful for many in our community.” Also, Dom again explains why he’d be against any red flag laws, and Dom reads a portion of the Dayton shooter’s manifesto, where he stated that the shooting was not influenced by Trump.
