[Romans:] An intense search underway right now at a Disney World hotel to find the 2-year-old boy dragged into a lagoon by an alligator. Now, police say it is unlikely they will find that child alive. A family of four visiting from Nebraska. It has been an unimaginable few days in Orlando. First, Christina Grimmie, a popular singer from the NBC talent show "THE VOICE" she was gunned down after her concert Friday night. She died a few hours later. We've just learned that Sunday's nightclub shooter scouted a Disney venue ahead of his attack on the club. Police say the shooter visited the Disney entertainment and shopping complex known as Disney Springs. That was at the beginning of June during this year's "Gay Days" celebration. So what does this mean for tourism in the area? Well, more than 63 million people visited Orlando in 2014, making it the most visited destination in the country. Fifty-two million visit the Disney World complex each year. Disney operates four theme parts and 27 resort hotels in Orlando. All this is happening just a Disney gets ready to open its highly anticipated Shanghai location half a world away, tomorrow. All right, a political firestorm in the wake of the Orlando nightclub massacre. Donald Trump accusing President Obama and Hillary Clinton of being weak and ineffective in the fight against terrorism. The presumptive Republican nominee even insinuating the president is somehow sympathetic to Islamic extremists, as he renews his call for a ban on Muslim immigrants. The president reacting by calling Trump dangerous, with Clinton accusing her Republican rival of trying to destroy American values. Even Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, saying that the presumptive nominee's Muslim ban is not the religious test we should have in this country, but a security test would be better. CNN politics reporter, Eugene Scott, live from Washington this morning. Good morning again, Eugene.
[Eugene Scott, Cnn Politics Reporter:] Good morning.
[Romans:] I want to listen to a little piece of sound from Hillary Clinton, speaking in Pittsburgh yesterday listen.
[Hillary Clinton , Presumptive Presidential Nominee:] Donald's words are especially nonsensical because the terrorist who carried out this attack wasn't born in Afghanistan, as Donald Trump said yesterday. He was born in Queens, New York, just like Donald was, himself. So, Muslim bans and immigration reforms would not have stopped him. They would not have saved a single life in Orlando.
[Romans:] Remarkable, really, the response yesterday. The president, Hillary Clinton, even Paul Ryan speaking yesterday that a religious test, a religious ban, not appropriate here.
[Scott:] Yes, very much so. Voters on both sides of the aisle are really looking for solutions to this issue. I think this incident in Orlando just really deeply affected everyone on various sides of the political spectrum. And everyone, I think, involved at that level knows at the top political level knows that the best way to approach the situation and to find solutions is to address the facts. And so, there's going to be a lot of fact-checking when you have political candidates pushing back on ideas or promoting ideas that actually aren't accurate. And we saw that, not just with Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, but also with Paul Ryan.
[Romans:] Interesting that I want to look at the Bloomberg poll general election Bloomberg poll that just came out, too brand new polling late yesterday. Support for the president and Hillary Clinton, 49 percent. Donald Trump, 37 percent. Gary Johnson that's the Libertarian candidate nine percent. This is from June 10th through the 13th. Give me a sense here about how Donald Trump is trying to retake the top of the polls, at least, here? How he tried to retake momentum with this terror attack in Orlando? I mean, it really plays to his strengths, politically speaking at least. You know, plays to his strengths. He wants to appear strong and decisive about terrorism coming home.
[Scott:] Very much so. As much criticism as he has received from both sides of the aisle for this Muslim ban, that's an issue that resonates very well with his base and his supporters. And so it's not a surprise that he's leaned in on that again and was first and eager to jump out addressing this issue, or attributing it to terrorism before all the facts were out. The challenge with that, even though that has worked well for him in the past and that's what his supporters like to hear, that's just not true right now, at least the specific fact regarding that the shooter was an immigrant. We now know that that is not true. And so he's going to have to find a way to stay on message but for it to be factual because if he does not he's going to continually be called out, not just by Hillary Clinton and the president, but by Republican leaders in his party, as well.
[Romans:] This is interesting reporting, though, that the shooter talked about the United States bombing "my country". That plays into Donald Trump's worldview here that this person was an American citizen but didn't relate to or wasn't really American.
[Scott:] Yes, this is not a new approach by Donald Trump. We've seen for years. I mean, one of the main attacks that he had against President Barack Obama was that he was not American in a traditional sense, or as American as other Americans were. That's going to be deeply problematic moving forward as Hillary Clinton seeks to reach to immigrants. Reach out to people who have a higher view of diversity and embrace American values as a place for other people to come in.
[Romans:] All right, Eugene, nice to see you this morning.
[Scott:] You, too.
[Romans:] Thank you for getting up early for us. Interesting perspective.
[Scott:] Thank you.
[Romans:] Thanks a lot. All right, horror at Disney World. A toddler dragged into a lagoon by an alligator as his parents are standing right there. "NEW DAY" picks up the story next.
