we're monitoring a tense stand naff france where a suspected terrorist is holed up inside an apartment complex. three loud blasts rocked the interior. the explosions were intended to, quote, intimidate the suspect. watch this. [loud explosions and background noise]. >> the person under siege is a 24-year-old man with links to al qaeda, who police say is responsible for a shooting spree that left seven dead. among those murdered, three paratroopers, last week, followed by a rabbi and three young children in a jewish school on monday. the massacre was in response to the french army's involvement in

the afghan war. as more details emerge about the extremely tense situation, we will bring it to you throughout the hour. the vetting of the president continues as we investigate the obama apology tour and how it has dismantled america's credibility around the world. but first, more words words from sandra fluke. on trksdz she was at a women's history month forum and video cameras captured this. >> what i would like to say to women of my generation, we need more working mothers in office. we must have members of congress to see their role as seeing women and their views on important questions to women's lives. so i want to be clear, this doesn't mean that just any woman in the room, it has to be a woman focused on representing

policy. this doesn't mean it should be a political litmus test. [inaudible] >> sean: i assume the values of the litmus test would be defined by miscellaneous fluke and her friends. joining me now to respond to that video and much more, columnist and best-selling author -- you got a hair cut, ann coulter is back with us. how are you? >> fine. thank you. >> sean: welcome back to the program. here's something and you i agree o. i was reading comments you made earlier -- being the great wordsmith that you are, have you some strong language. what you were saying is that, wait a minute, conservatives -- they are not offended by bill maher. i am offended by the "c" word and some other things and obama accepting a million dollars -- but liberals are not -- fey are feigning outrage.

i don't think they were upset at rush limbaugh's comments because if they were, they would have spoken out about the conservative women. i don't think people are as outraged as they act. i think it's a phony campaign opportunity, political opportunity. your response? >> yes. coming from people who are constantly telling us about their abortions and their vagine as, i find it very hard to believe they are very upset about any word that rush limbaugh uses. i don't care what words people use. >> i don't care about dirty jokes, sexist joke, racist jokes, all i care is that they be funny. and i would like to hold a seminar for certain individuals like david letterman's writers to explain what is funny and what isn't. and i think it's a cheap shot when you have a left-wing audience and say any old nasty thing about, for example, sarah palin, as david letterman did. i explained in my book,

"guilty," i proved that that was not funny, his joke about bristol palin being at a yankee's game and her boyfriend knocked her up at the seventh inning. but she wasn't there. she was at the yankee's game with willow. and as far as i know, alex rodriguez has not knocked up any girls out of wedlock, that was the language of the joke. so, you know, as one of my professional writing friends says, by rights, art should be confusing to stupid people, not smart people. a smart person listening knows that's not funny. that's how i think we should be evaluating this -- is it funny? and not pretending to be personal injury lawyers, putting on casts and saying you are so wounded. >> sean: i don't think it's fun tow make fun of your buddy maher did, the children of rick santorum or sarah palin in the manner he did. i don't think that's ever funny.

i think there are certain things -- i don't it's funny to use the c-word it talk about a woman. i don't think that's funny -- >> well, it's probably -- >> sean: i am not trying to silence bill maher. i am not attack hbo or boycotting. that's what liberals do. >> that's right. they do go after the children. i say going after the children, general ealtought tosh off limits. it has not been off limits for republicans, though conservatives have taken the obama children off limits. so, you know, maybe it's time to start imitating liberals in another way and go after the obama children. but i think it's going after the family members and the children. by the way, that has been done grotesquely and viciously over the years by the left, including frequently outing gay children of right wingers. you know, if you get involved in political dialogue, you are not supposed to put your family at risk, you are making the

arguments, take the shots at the public figure. don't attack the children. >> sean: let me get into the political side of this. i don't care about bill maher. i don't watch his show. i really don't i. you have given him a lot of publicity. >> sean: what's that? >> you give him a lot of publicity. i happen to think he's very funny ii think he's an angry, bitter liberal. but here's my point -- >> but the jokes you play are not funny. he says them to get to you play them because you have a billion more viewers than you do. >> sean: you have a obsession with liking him, like you are in love with chris christie, but that's a separate issue. >> do not compare chris christie to bill maher. >> sean: i don't like the fact -- the reason i bring this up, obama injects himself into the sandra fluke controversy and lectures us about the children -- i believe him. but he sits back silently and takes $1 million from mamerand

he sends david axel rod to act like a fool. the double standard bothers me. he is not outraged or he would give the money back. but he's afraid of angering maharbecause maher will attack him as being wimpy. >> i think it was a genius plan by maher to act like the big democratic donor and write a million-dollar check and say things so vulgar that obama would be forced to give him the money back. i think they have the hypocrisy lying fraud. i think we should stop acted being like feminists and saying i'm offended. >> sean: have you nbc -- you have to wonder how proud brian williams is of pulling dick chapey's heart out and calling sarah palin'sidarity a slut.

he does the reports, brian williams does, on the controversy. i didn't see him going after his fellow broadcasters on the nbc news brand of was that an accident? dimiss something? >> no. i think we have come together in happy agreement, sean. they're utter fraud, liars and hypocrites. the idea that they're offended by -- by anything! any of us can say -- given what regularly comes out on that network. for pete's sake, they have al sharpton on ms-nbc, who falsely accused several men of rape. that's his claim to fame to burst on to the national scene. you have rachel madow of pursuing a conspiracy theory night after night after night and it turns out, it was insurance fraud, the guy killed himself. you have ed schultz calling linda ingerham a slut.

so knock it off with the offended routine. you are horrible people, liberals. but i think we should stop, too. -- >> sean: i agree -- >> i think it's ridiculous. [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: here's what's going to happen f. they start the boycotts, it will be conservative group, people in glass house, it would come up in their back yard. interesting. ann, good to see you. >> good to see you. thank you. >> sean: coming up, president obama thinks his class warfare strategy taking from the rich, giving to the poor will solve the nation's fiscal problems. the shocking truth about the so-called buffett rule. our vetting of obama continues tonight. you don't want to miss the series, obama's apology tour. that and more, straight ahead. >> let me apologize. >> i apologize. >> even derisive. >> i want to apologize --

>> sean: the so-called buffer rule, the cornerstone of president obama's class warfare strategy has been exposed as a complete and utter sham. if you remember in the state of the union address, the president made the case for higher taxes on the so-called wealthy

americans by talking about fairness. take a look. >> we can settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of americans barely get by. or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of rules. paying its fair share of taxes. it is not fair. fair play. shared responsibility will help protect our people and our economy. pay our fair share of taxes. when americans talk about folks like me paying my fair share of tax, it is not because they envy the rich. >> sean: of course, the presidents has a plan to remedy this alleged fairness deficit here in america. watch this. >> right now, warren buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. tax reform should follow the buffett rule, if you make more than $1 million a year, should you not pay less than 30% in taxes.

>> sean: here's the problem, according to a new congressional estimate. the buffett rule would only raise $47 bill whereon in extra revenue over 11 years. and considering the government is poised to spen upwards of their 3.6 trillion this year, the washington examiner estimates that the money from the buffett rule could be used to pay for five days of government spending. in other words, this is a political tactic and a campaign strategy. it is not an economic plan. the problem is that some americans are taxed too little. the problem is that government spends too much money. sandra smith, co-host of "the five," dealing with bob beckel five days a week. >> sales in advil have gone up. thanks to bob. me, dana, gregg, yeah. they haveitous thank. >> sean: that would make bob proud. >> it would. >> sean: $47 billion. and you know, we have $5

trillion into obama debt. i am thinking, why are we talking about thises? this is what? >> he's assuming the media is not going to fact check what he says, they won't fact check the warren buffett rule is so dishonest, they won't fact check the campaign video, where his mother didn't have health insurance -- which is not true. he is banking on the press secretaries to cover for him. i think more people in this country wlb getting a check from the government, we saw just last month, that is true -- than not. that's how he is going to win the election, by programming more. >> sean: this is saying, okay, i have more people benefitting from some type of government payment, some people well deserved. but 49% of americans don't pay federal income tax. it is almost the roting majority that he wants. i would like to know, how much does warren buffett's secretary

make? >> i think it's something like $200,000 a year. this is want an average secretary salary. have you to factor that in, as l. but warren buffett -- >> sean: she's one of those rich people. >> she is one of those rich people. >> not making $1 million. >> sean: i don't want -- look, they keep bringing her into the mix. i am sure she's a wonderful person. but if we confiscated the wealth, it is not going to make a difference. but the president's using rhetoric to get elected, dividing the country get elected. that's what the sinister side of this is. >> from my circle, there is a lot of talk about buffett has really compromised his reputation by attaching himself to this tax policy that president obama has forced the way it worked out with warren buffett. warren buffett didn't come up with the 30%. president obama ran that by and said, can i run with this? warren buffett said, yeah, you can. we will go with that.

>> sean: the president, we have $5 trillion in new obama debt. we have at least $6 trillion more coming and paul ryan lays out a plan, he's going to take 5.3 trillion less, deal with some of the foundational issues of medicare, social security and already, democrats -- whew! grandma's going over the cliff. this rhetoric, republicans want the poor and the elderly and autism, kids with autism fending for themselves. >> they don't want to have an honest discussion. barack obama doesn't want to revisit his own deficit commission proposal. >> sean: embarrassing. >> okay, look, forget the top 1%, take the top 10%. you take all the money they make, 100%, you are coming in at $3.4 trillion. >> this is about transferring money from the minority to the majority. the majority is growing by the

day under this administration. the burden's going to be on the minority that are paying taxes. >> they're doing it with obamacare. watch. the calculus on obamacare -- >> sean: double. >> don't deny a woman anything. >> sean: i want a free car. >> except seniors. >> it's getting close. >> sean: thank, guys. coming up,ul never believe what grade the president's energy secretary thinks he deserves, for you paying -- in my case over the weekend, $5.09 a gallon. we will check in with michelle and the vetting of president obama continues about his apology tour. that and more, straight ahead.

>> sean: today, the average price of gas hit $3.86 a gallon. apparently, that's a good thing. because yesterday, obama's energy secretary, stephen chu said he would give himself an "a" rating on this crisis. >> on weatherization, do you give yourself an a-minus? >> actually, i do. >> okay. in -- in controlling the cost of gasoline at the pump, did you give yourself an a-minus? >> well, the tools we have at our disposal are limited. but i would say, i would give myself a little higher, since i

became secretary of energy, i have been doing everything i can to -- to get long-term solutions. >> sean: i wish i could grade myself every night. joining me, the author of culture of corruption, michelle malcolm is here. i don't mean to make light of this. i was talking to the people behind the cam remarks one guy said it cost me $35 a day, where it used to cost $15 to $18 a day. the president inherited $1.70 a gallon price. he doesn't blame bush for the low prices he inherited here. he is giving himself an "a." based on what criteria do you grade yourself that way? >> have you an enormous sense of self, for one thing. he's grading on an amazing curve, a curve that only nobel prize winners in the obama administration seem to inhabit. if anything, he serves at least a "c" for clueless, an "e" for

epic and an "f" for fail. clueless, epic fail. this is the second time he has been asked by house republicans to grade his performance, with it's regard to gas prices or these huge big, green boondoggles. he never gives himself anything less than an a-minus. my goodness, what does it take for him -- what failure it would take for him to grade himself a "b"! >> sean: he said he wanted america to have prices as high as europe. isn't he the same guy who said something about painting roofs white? if i am not mistaken, which says he's an energy extremist, an environmental extremist. so in their minds, high gas prices is good because we are not as dependent on fossil fuels and people will not pollute the environment as much. is that the thinking? >> i suppose so. this is the man, after the

latest held hearing, waltzed into an suv -- no. he is not climbing into a chevy volt. this is just one of the countless eco-hypocrites out there who is do as i say, not as i do. when asked, the reason for getting into this vehicle, as oppose to the tiny little combustible eco-vehicle he wants to force everybody else into said it was a security issue. >> sean: you know, i think you forgot to give him the amplts here. we have president algae and an energy secretary algae. he does get an "a." have you a column that said, obama's algae racket, is i believe how you referred to it. >> i call him the algae racketeers. we need to vet the president and his interior secretary. we certainly need to vet the green cronies of this administration, who are wallowing, not own only in blue-green sludge that is never going to be our ultimate i.

blue-green sludge. >> but also wallowing in millions of dollars of taxpayer money that has been redistributed to all of these politically connected groups. that's the gist of my column. i urge everyone to plunge into what i am calling the pond scum presidency. >> sean: i'm going to urge our viewers tonight to invest in algae, you know, if you can, next time guto a pond, find it, scoop it up, save it. it could be worth a lot of money. if you are worried about the high price of gasoline, inflate your tires and get a tuneup. >> yeah. that's right. what also did he say? turn down the thermostats to 68 or whatever it is? although the white house thermostat is something like 73 or 74. these people don't practice what they preach. in the meantime, all of these cronies are really rolling in it. if you take a look at the companies that i highlighted,

sapphire energy, and algenol, they were rubbing their hands with glee when obama came into office. it is just the last month that obama has been promoting algae and biofuels. he has a half-billion dollar program for the biofuels and many of these companies have made tens of millions of dollars already, even though any legitimate skift will tell you that this is a pipe dream, while real pipelines are going unbuilt. >> good point, as we talk about keystone. look,ulary jet lim zeme, algae liberals. >> just like pond scum tstinks. >> sean: sadly, we are paying at the pump. controversial video of tom hanks is surfaced and has prompted some to call for his removal of the obama re-election propagand

>> the voice behind barack obama's 17-minute-long film entitled, the road we traveled. but tom hanks is having to answer to a different tape that, reportedly shows him in a hollywood fund-raisener 2004, laughing and palling around next to somebody in black face. >> i know, we are not done. wait a second... oh juries. i am going to say one more time, 5,000 chair. i just want to say, what will hell does that mean?

[inaudible] >> sean: when asked to respond, his publicist had a statement saying, i was blindsided when one of the parents got up on the stage in a costume that was hideously offensive then and is hi hideously offensive now. what is a night of food and drink was marred by this appalling moment. >> guys, welcome. >> good to be with you. >> sean: tell us, what you are doing here, why you want hanks' voice removed from this? do you hold him responsible for this? i don't think we can hold him responsible for what happened there. >> i am not alleging that tom hanks is a racist, but he was an

insensitive participant that was planned and orchestrated. some of the things that were said during this so-called comedy black-face routine this, investment bankener black face, frye was the other person involved in this, saying that his last client was idi amen. one of the most horrific things said while hanks was with them on stage, entertaining the audience was, he point audio i don't know if it was to the mock gorilla or the gentleman in black face and says this is the most diversity we are going to get in this school. that really troubled me and i called the school today. i spoke with the head of the school and i asked him to please refute -- i said, i hope that the reality of the school does not reflect what was implied -- >> sean: how do you know this was planned? in other words, that -- what i

take from the comment by hanks' publicist is that this was spontaneous? how do you know this was planned and he knew about it? >> that's a very good question. i think that mr. hanks' apology is a little disingenuous in that the person that was in black face, james montgomery, was the individual that provided the $5,000 in stock that tom hanks was talking about, a provision of providing that stock was that he would be able to participate this this comedy routine with tom hanks and glen fry. hanks probably didn't know he was going to come out in black face, but it wasn't like this was an anonymous parent from the audience who came up on stage -- >> sean: let me go to juan. >> tom hanks knew he was going to be part of the skit. >> it is troubling when you see it and hear it, i don't want to make the leap though. the left does this. they make the leap i. i am glad

you are saying it. because i'm very sensitive on these issues. my hat's off for calling attention to this issue. but gee, whiz, i don't see any way that tom hanks did anything wrong there. if we were on the stage and someone does something that's offensive. this guy may not have even thought it was offensive. he thinks it's fun. he thinks he's messing around. but the idea seems to me, almost like you are trying to condemn tooming hanks, he's here raising money for a school. i think the larger agenda seems to be to get tom hanks' voice off this video, that sean described it, a propaganda item -- >> sean: glad you admitted it. >> no, no. that's your language! not mine. >> yeah, sure. i think the president should show a profile. you recall when bill clinton was offended by sister soldier

invited to a jesse jackson conference, he condemned the conference, right in front of jesse jackson's face. you recall, when trent lott got in trouble for saying kind words about strom thurman and making nice about the erav segregation that essentially bush got him fired for majority leader of the senate at the time. he bent over backwards to apologize. i think tom hank in an era when both sides are talking about the need for civility, that this is a gross -- [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: we are out of time -- >> he should have walked off the stage. >> sean: let me go to juan n. this sense, i don't want to get to a point where people can't make a mistake and say -- and say, i don't like tom hanks, i don't like his movies -- >> no. i love -- >> sean: i am not the biggest fan of tom hanks or his politics

and i think this propaganda film is terrific. but, we are now at the point, where the democrats and the president want to silence rush. he apologized. we have to be able to accept that people are going to have -- make a mistake or be in a situation that they can't control. but the left wants to go for the jugular and silence people. i don't want to do that to tom hanks or bill maher or anybody on nbc. i am making the point that a double standard exists. i think the left needs to calm down. >> i like what you are saying. i think there is a double standard. it has some basis in fact. at this point, the republican party's so overwhelmingly white and the history in our count country -- >> sean: the republican party passed the -- [overlapping dialogue] >> they participated. [overlapping dialogue] >> when democrats were dixie-crates. i am saying to you, the history in the country is one in which,

minority, women have been oppressed -- >> sean: agreed. >> there is a real pressure on the republicans. but in this instance, what you and niger are saying about tom hanks, he doesn't make a comment like what rush limbaugh said. >> sean: i am saying in the case of bill maher, the president should give back the million dollars and have a sister soldier... even though he gave to a political campaign and he has a political show with comedy, he's not the same. to use the c-word? [overlapping dialogue] >> i don't think he has to gift money back -- >> sean: how about the president publicly condemning bill maher. >> that can't happen. >> sean: that's only political expediency. >> i think he should say that kind of language -- >> sean: window's closed. >> see, wait a minute. you ask him to do it and you say he can't do it -- >> sean: but if he meant it, he could do this earlier.

nations general assembly, president obama imply that the u.s. is not a leader in the world. listen to this. >> responsibility and leader -- leadership in the 21st century demand more. in an era when our destiny is shared, power is no longer a zero sum game, no one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. no world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed. no balance of power among nations will hold. >> sean: let's not forget the president's outrageous response when asked about american exceptionalism at the nato sum nit france that same year. >> i believe in american exceptionalism, just as i suspect that the brits believe in british exceptionalism and greeks believe in greek exceptionalism.

liz cheney, this is going to be a big issue in this campaign, no? >> it is. i think it's really important that people remember that this president -- it is not just that he's incompetent, chiwould say, he clearly is hoo is attempting to deminnish america's place in the world. he doesn't believe that america should be dominant. when you have a president who is not, just his words, but his deeds have been focused on a legitimate attempt on his part to try to diminish the power of the united states, that's got to be concerned. >> sean: i can't get over how wrong he was in egypt with the muslim brotherhood rising to power. the only real viable option after mubarak went out. now it's happened. and they have declared israel their enemy. when he said when he was running, iran and cuba and venezuela, they are tiny. they are not a threat. >> exactly. there is no strategic approach

for example, to what is happening in the middle-east. there is no sense of what we need to do to secure america's interests. in fact, where there is a strategic approach in the defense budget, which will make it very, very difficult to protect our national security, whether it is the proposal that he is reviewing to cut back our nuclear stockpile. he believes that america should be on the same level as all other nations in the world. unfortunately, he is in a position to make naa reality. >> sean: i want to play this. you can set this up from an abc news blog, referring to the 52-minute airing of grievances by danielleor tega, which ran through decades of what he said was american imperialism. >> to move forward, we cannot ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. i am very grateful that

president ortega... [applause] >> i am grateful that president ortega did not blame me for things that happened when i was 3 monthsole. >> you don't have time to play the screed before it. it was daniel ortega with a velon-filled psychiatry about america's history and what had gone on. to have the president of the united states not feel the need to stand up and say, that was completely out of order, that was wrong, that was rewriting of history, to completely accept it, to say, at least he didn't blame me -- >> sean: it wassing the book from chavez. what about when he said -- i don't have to play it right now -- america's shown arrogance. i look at america, world war ii, america's world in the beat back of naziism, fascism,

totalitarianism, we have had blood, sweat, financial burden for freedom. he doesn't seem to tout our virtue itch this isn't a republican or democratic issue, this is an issue on which this president is extremely vulnerable. this will be a huge issue in this campaign. no american, regardless of party affiliation wants an american president who spends more time apologizing for the nation -- >> sean: do you think he weakens -- that the leader, especially enemies around the world view him as weak, him personally? >> there is no question. the best example about our role in the arab role is that we are irrelevant. that's the best you can say. it's time for a new president. >> sean: all right. liz, good to see you. >> thank you. >> sean: coming up, developments in the tragic shooting of a 17-year-old in florida. we have the audio from the 911 calls placed moments before he was shot. that and much more, straight ahead. announcer ] you're at the age where you don't get thrown by curveballs. ♪

>> sean: breaking news in the tragic shooting of an unarmed teen in florida. just moments ago, the samford city commission passed a vote of no confidence in the police chief, bill lee, on the heels of tremendous backlash against the policen and its response to the killing of tray von martin, a self-described neighborhood watch captain.

zimmerman called police when he saw von martin walking through his neighborhood and thought he looked suspicious. >> police department? >> hey, we have had some break-ins in my neighborhood and there is a real suspicious guy. this guy looks like he's up to no good or he's on drugs or something. he has something in his hands. i don't know what his deal is. he's running. >> he's running. which way is he running? >> sean: zimmerman continued to chase him, even though the dispatcher advised against him. tray von martin with a bag of skittles and an ice tea, died on the scene after he was shot by zimmerman. but police did not charge zimmerman. the justice department, the fbi and a grand jury are

investigating. a lot of attention is being called to stand your ground defense law. welcome to the program. i don't understand. as i understand, this young man wasn't bothering anybody? >> no. >> sean: he wasn't on anybody's property. he was just -- walking? >> he was not even trespassing -- >> sean: no. >> when he was shot and killed by zimmerman, the neighborhood watch guy. zimmerman had put forth the stand your ground stance. stand your ground, that is not implicated in this case -- >> sean: you have to be on the property or home. >> you can't follow and confront someone and shoot and kill them, after you create a scenario they might be defensive. >> sean: you can hear theach dispatcher says i didn't saying, we don't need to do that. the police were called. i have to assume, if somebody's following, the young kid was

probably afraid for his life. >> right. you don't know at what point he took off running. maybe he was afraid of zimmerman. he looks like he's 500 pound, chasing after him in the middle of the night. here's the thing. in terrible times, in darkness, we find light. finally, i am happy that this happened -- not that there was a terrible murder -- >> sean: what do you mean you are happy? >> we are talking about this. last year alone, chicago police shot and killed 42 people, 42 people in chicago alone. we treat each other like dogs or less than dogs. if this is a dog running across the guy's lawn, he wouldn't have shot him -- >> sean: all right, all right. let me help you clarify. you are not happy this happened. but you want attention to brought to the issue in light of this tragedy. probably be a better way to word this. here -- >> right. >> sean: here's the controversy now, whether or not this guy uttered a racial slur. >> yes, prior to doing this. >> sean: when i hear the dispatcher. i am thinking, if this was me

and the sfacher said and you really thought this was a problem he says, we don't need you to follow him. we will be there -- you pull back. >> exactly. he did just the opposite. and you know, there is this, whether or not he uttered a racial slur, this is what's right, what's wrong in his action, everything showed he wasn't justified. if he uttered a racial slur, that shows that he was inclined to overreact and that he had an animus toward a certain group of people -- that's the only way you can analyze it. >> sean: but nobody witnessed it. we don't know. what i don't like about this -- i don't want this turned into -- if this was about one person that commits a heinous crime against an innocent person in the neighborhood, that's separate. but i don't want this to be turned into a gun issue, which i think some people are trying to turn it into. >> he legally had a gun. it's the way he used it. >> sean: you agree with me?

>> i agree with ow that. the police investigation here is where the real questions come in -- >> sean: i agree. >> from the beginning. you don't just accept the word of a shootener a murder investigation, that their defense is self-defense. you look at all the evidence involved, the 911 calls, the witnesses who said they heard the criesave boy, crying out. this guy was questioned and released because the police said we don't have probable cause because he's saying it's self-defense. he has the most interest of anyone in this case. >> sean: well said. tam ra? >> sure. i wanted to point out this law -- it is not about gun laws. forget if the dispatcher said anything at all and didn't say, you don't need to follow this boy -- >> sean: if they are not on the property, that's a separate issue. >> but, sean, let me just finish. this law has to do with shooting someone if you feel that you are in danger. that your personal safety or life is in danger -- >> sean: we will pick up on this tomorrow. thk
