From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barrow. This is The Daily.

Today, President Trump visits two cities in morning.

The scene in Dayton and El Paso.

It's Thursday, August 8th.

What's it like being down here and seeing the memorials and seeing this entertainment district

kind of become this place in morning? It's very somber. I mean, it's very, uh,

some art of motion still, you know, still a lot of grief. You can see it, you can feel it, hear it,

and it's going to take a while to recover from this, but, uh, now Dayton will.

Hey, Mitch, it's Michael. How are you? I'm good. Quite a day here in Dayton. Yeah.

So Mitch, Smith, you're in Dayton, talking to the people there on the day of the president's visit.

What exactly was the president walking into there? Sure. Well, President Trump landed

in a Ohio that in a remarkably short period of time since nine people were killed in an

entertainment district on Sunday morning. It had started to move from anguish and grief and shock

to calls for action and some concrete proposals on what action might look like.

So the night of the visual on Sunday, the governor of Republican kind of launched into the

speech that every politician from either party gives after a tragedy like this.

This amazing crowd is stunning. This goes on and on and on. And I think it's a real testament

to the love and the resiliency of this great and wonderful community.

It was kind of a long-line control and food and short-run policy and the people in Dayton just weren't

having it. You're here tonight. I was standing probably half a box down and

like really couldn't hear a word he was saying. They were shouting over him,

he can't hold him on with his feet but you couldn't hear him.
