In a contentious exchange with House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday’s CBS This Morning, co-hosts Charlie Rose and Gayle King repeatedly pressed the Republican leader to take up gun control legislation in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting. Rose began: “But why don't you...call the President and say, ‘I'm going to come down Pennsylvania Avenue, let's you and I start off and do something about this right now’?”

In a follow-up, Rose touted talking points from President Obama: “He said, ‘We have a no-fly list where people can't get on planes, but these same people...whom we do not allow to fly, could get into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm. And there’s nothing we can do to stop them.”
