Trump may not want to listen to the American people, but he's going to have to face the music in November whether he likes it or not. And finally, on a sad note, the anniversary of the 1998 Capitol Police shooting tomorrow. Tomorrow marks 28 years when Detective John Gibson and Officer Jacob Chestnut of the United States Capitol Police gave their lives defending our Capitol.
