Hi there everyone, it's 4 o'clock in New York.

In just a few minutes, President Joe Biden will address the community of Lewiston,

Maine.

The community still reeling from a mass shooting there just over one week ago.

18 people were killed in that shooting.

The victims range in age from 14 years old to 76.

The story of what this community has been forced to endure is one that has

become all too familiar to all of us.

18 people, some of whom were out playing corn hall at the local bar.

Others were bowling with their families at youth night, new dads,

sign language interpreters, honor students, youth bowling coaches, some

of the latest victims in America's gun violence crisis epidemic.

New York Times reports this, that quote the visit will most

likely also be an opportunity for President Biden to repeat his call for a

ban on assault weapons and tougher gun control of mental health measures that have been blocked

on Capitol Hill.

With me at the table, former top official at the Department of Justice, Andrew Weisman

is here.

Also joining us, former congressman from Florida, MSNBC political

analyst David Jolly. We're waiting for the president to be announced any

moment here. And Joyceman, it's a story that all of us have covered together, sometimes

unexpectedly, sometimes in the middle of other conversations, because it keeps happening.
