RUSH EXCERPT:

UNKNOWN FEMALE: "I think we as a public have become numb but I think the Parkland kids are going to be the difference. Here's why. They've connected these tragedies with the fact that if you vote these folks out of office, you can make the changes that are necessary. They've connected that. They're not waiting for us to tell them what to do. They know that someone's turning 18 every single day. Already registered to vote ahead of -- way ahead of the midterm elections. These folks are organizing and the other thing about this generation that I think the older generations need to understand is they're intersectional. They understand that gun violence is in the inner cities as well as in the workplaces, and also in school shootings. They have connected all of these things together and understand that the way to change the law is to change the people who make the laws. And that, I think, is the powerful difference that these kids are making in this country and in this conversation and we don't go through the cycle because they've cut the cycle off by basically directing everyone toward the ballot box."
