3:07 pm
that may have been hut or the systems that are most concerned may be transferred to hezbollah. >> the 110 are iranian-built missiles. they are in a process of being supplied to the hezbollah as well. now it's the first time of rocket that has both long range. >> so that could hit tel aviv. >> of course. this is the second time in the past three days that israel has been accused of hitting targets inside of syria. officials saying they do not want to take any part in the war going. on, but they will defend their own borders and will not allow dangerous weapons, conventional or chemical torks go into the hands of groups they consider

3:15 pm
>> so ms. navarro, do you think a lot of bostonians owned a gun when the city went into lockdown? >> i don't know. i don't think wayne lapierre know what is they are thinking. you're seeing the use of emotion to try to advance a political agenda. we saw it it right after newtown when that was being used. a lot of people at that nra convention were bothered by the way the family of the victims were used, if you'd like, to advance that debate. and i think they are doing exactly the same thing. but we need to take the emotion out of it and act with logic. look at the policy issues and try to find some common ground. >> wayne lapierre says the nra's membership has hit 5 million and gun restrictions were defeated on capitol hill. is gun control a lost cause in this country? >> no, i just think that the
3:16 pm
controversy is a lost cause. what i mean by that is we keep trying to interchange two different arguments when dealing with guns. there's a conversation to be had about the mass shootings and also a conversation about the criminals who are shooting on the streets. those are two separate conversations. both people on the left and the right interchange those conversations. the focus needs to be on not necessarily gun restrictions. >> let's talk about immigration reform. how it plays into revelations at security flaws and helped dzhokhar tsarnaev get rid of some evidence. i want you to take a listen and then we'll talk. >> 9/11 was, you know, more than a decade ago. so how is that possible?
3:17 pm
>> it's hard to believe 12 years after 9/11 we're having this conversation, but you put your finger on it it. there's not enough coordination between agencies so we know someone should not have been readmitted to the united states. our bill addresses that directly. we have 11 million people coming forward to register. so we know who they are. that's going to make us more secure. >> are boston bombings going to make it harder to pass immigration reform? >> you know, i don't think so. i see them as two completely separate issues. . if there are issues that should be addressed, we should do it it. this week there's going to be a committee meeting in the homeland security committee to take a look at what could have been done. i think senator durbin is right. there was some sort of human error here. something fell through the cracks. it's hard to imagine after our agencies were alerted by russia, there's guys coming back from
3:18 pm
russia and some red flag doesn't go up somewhere. so if there are kinks in the system that can be identified and worked out and addressed in the immigration system, let's do it it. it will make the immigration bill that much stronger and easier to approve. >> dick durbin says the reform bill does things that should have been done a long time ago. why are they just getting it it done now? >> we keep talking about why congress is just getting around to doing things that need to be done. the fact of the matter is, the this has nothing to do with the right thing. it has everything to do with what happened in 2012. that's the reason why regardless of all the chitchat you hear on the side that something is going to be done with immigration reform because the republican party doesn't want their butt kicked in 2016. that's the focus.
3:19 pm
that's always been the focus recently. that will continue to be the focus. >> just real quickly, do you think the immigration debate is done for now? or do you think it still has a chance? anna? >> it's absolutely not done. we have the committee on thursday. we have the house working on its own legislation. i think everybody is still optimistic about this. and there's going to be some nay sayers who use boston or use whatever they can to oppose it, but there's a lot of momentum for the bill. it's absolutely not done. >> lz, do you think it's done? >> no, it's not done. it's for the reasons i said. no one wants to get their butt kicked in 2016, particularly the republicans. so they are going to do what they need to do to move this forward. >> that's easily said. no one. thes to get their butts kicked. thank you. appreciate you coming on. have a great rest of the

owner threatens the unthinkable. abandoning wrigley? wrigley field? terence moore is here, sports contributor to cnn.com. and a columnist t isist at mlb.. okay. so terence, i say wrigley. everybody else puts the field on it, when you're from chicago -- >> a ballpark that the cubs play in. >> wrigley city, only ballpark. we're going to talk about wrigley in a second. a lot of people are talking about jason collins. they're saying the right things. are we getting the full picture? >> not even close. and i tell you something, don, i have spent decades in locker rooms and clubhouses and generally speaking, at many of these places, it's gay bashing central, all right? that's why i have a tendency to agree with heinz ward, former great wide receiver for pits pittsburgh steelers. he said it would be difficult for an openly gay player to come out in the nfl. the last few days i've talked to sports executives, former
3:53 pm
players, current players and seem to agree with ward that people are saying the politically correct thing, but the reality is it's not going to be as easy as people say it's going to be. >> i talked about it on radio last week. pretty much every question was, do you think this is a true reaction? do you think this, the response was manufactured by the agent? >> no question. i'll take it a step further. specifically i talked to a former nfl player. pretty prominent player who played for a significant nfl team. he said he would not have a problem playing with an openly gay player. which is politically correct to say. he said if the guy could play. so then i said, do you think your teammates would have felt the same way? sort of paused and kind of said, that's a good question. and i said, give me a percentage. he said maybe 30% to 35% of his former teammates would not have had a problem playing with an openly gay player. >> yeah. so you think that the -- you think the players are more opposed to it than the fans?
3:54 pm
because for most fans, i don't think they really care as long as you can score. >> i agree. >> as long as you win. >> that's right. >> i don't think it matters. >> just win, baby. you're right. and, again, just being in those locker rooms and clubhouses, you've got the macho thing and this is the way they feel that it's got to be. the fans would not have a problem with it. the culture of sports. >> but i also think it's interesting what you said about the executives. because you're coming outs you know, people say, oh, congratulations or whatever, but you never know what people are saying behind closed doors. what the executives are saying, is this a distraction to the team? we want to win. is the press going to be just around jason rather than around the team? and all of those things are going through their heads. doesn't necessarily mean they're homophobic but means they're businesspeople. >> i'll give an example here. that's right. just get off of this subject and look at somebody like a barry bonds. barry bonds was with the san francisco giants. he was a huge distraction.
3:55 pm
greatest player in the history of baseball perhaps, the steroids aside from that. when he leaves, the giants win world series. >> i had a nice conversation, i won't go into detail about it. everyone knows this part that he said, i'm hoping to get signed. he's hoping to get a job. do you think he'll get signed? >> the reality of it is he probably will not. the not just because of this but the age thing, what have you. it's going to be very, very difficult. >> okay. we'll see. we'll see. okay. let's move on and talk about wrigley. you don't even have to be a cubs fan to love that stadium. build in 1914. the new cubs owner wants to renovate it and this week he said if he doesn't get the approval for the changes, including a giant video board, the cubs might leave wrigley field. that is not going to happen. >> no. no. >> no? >> unless tom ricketts, who is the owner of the cubs, is absolutely stupid, which he is not. because, you know, part of the reason people love the cubs is because old wrigley field, and if they left wrigley field,
3:56 pm
their attendance for cub home games would sink faster than a meet wrteor to the bottom of la michigan. it's not going to happen. >> really, you believe -- >> if they left wrigley field. i tell you what's going to happen, don -- >> remember when they redid soldier field, said oh my gosh, it looks like a spaceship landed. >> which is true. soldier field is not wrigley field. wrigley field is sacred. they're going to get the video board at wrigley field, by the way. as a baseball traditionalist, i'll give them that. just don't touch the ivy on the outfield falls. >> i have to say, i go to yankee stadium, a game, graduation, whatever it is, it's very comfortable. when you go to wrigley, it's really oldtime. guess what? it feels like an old-fashioned baseball game. >> sure. i mean -- >> i love it. >> like you never left the 1940s and 1950s. >> i can't see the action because there's a pole right there. it's low. but it's wrigley. >> yeah. >> thank you. for your honesty. very good conversation. terence moore. coming up, he lost both his
