i'm tamron hall. "news nation" is following developing news. president obama making it's perhaps his most impassioned remarks on the need for gun control since the shooting at sandy hook elementary. over 100 days ago. the president was surrounded by victims of gun violence, including parents from newtown and made a direct plea to the american people to speak up and push for change. >> i read an article in the news just the other day wondering is washington, has washington missed its opportunity because as time goes on after newtown, somehow people start moving on and forgetting? let me tell you, the people here, they don't forget. grace's dad is not forgetting.

her mom hasn't forgotten. the notion that two or three months after something as horrific as happened in newtown happens and we've moved on to other things, that's not who we are. that's not who we are. i want to make sure every american is listening today. less than 100 days ago that happened. and the entire country was shocked. and the entire country pledged we would do something about it and this time would be different. shame on us if we've forgotten. >> the president then urged congress to act now on gun legislation. >> tears aren't enough.

expressions of sympathy aren't enough. speeches aren't enough. we've cried enough. we've known enough heartbreak. what we're proposing is not radical. it is not taking away anybody's gun rights. it is something that if we are serious, we will do. >> those remarks coming just hours after the release of search warrants used in the sandy hook shooting investigation. the documents give disturbing new insight goo sboo 20-year-old adam lanza's life before he carried out the massacre of 20 children and six of their teachers. a search of the lanza family home reveal he owned several guns in addition to the ones used in the attack as well as hundreds of rounds of ammunition. the search also turn out an nra certificate in the name of adam la lanza and his mother nancy. they are also giving a more

detailed account of the tragedy that unfolded in less than five minutes. nbc news national investigative correspondent michael isikoff has the very latest. it is the headline that you're seeing everywhere. 154 bullet casings in less than five minutes. that so many people are reacting to today. >> reporter: absolutely. just unbelievable fire power that adam that school that day. all those bullets fired from his bushmaster assault rifle. and he had ten high capacity 30-round magazines that he used to get off so many bullets in such a short time to kill the children and the adults in that school. as one parent will me today, he was armed, adam lanza was armed to the teeth. we knew it was, we didn't know

it was quite this much. in addition to that, as you mentioned, there are hundreds of rounds of ammunition found in the home. there were multiple weapons, military style clothing. by the way, he was wearing military style clothing that day. and a body vest that is described in the documents. and in addition, we have other material in there. there are references to an fbi interview with a friend or an associate of adam lanza. someone who knew him who described him as a loner. somebody who rarely left his home. was an avid gamer, playing video games, and in a rather puzzling comment, they said sandy hook elementary school was adam lanza's life. we're talking about a

20-year-old here and how it is that an elementary school could be his life is one of the many still unanswered puzzling questions about this case. >> and as i mentioned in the information, police say they found an nra certificate in the names of adam lanza and his mother nancy. the nra has reacted to that saying there is no record of a member relationship between newtown killer adam lanza nor between nansy lanza or an n lanza with the national rifle association. reporting to the to the contrary is reckless, false and defamatory. that is in regard to the information released by the authorities there. >> reporter: all we know is what's in the police affidavit which does say that an nra certificate in adam lanza's name was found at the house.

the nra is saying they have no record of a member relationship with him. so in some way, he had something less than a full membership, one can possibly deduce from that. we just don't know. all we know is a contradiction between what the court documents say and the apparent contradiction between what the court documents say and what the nra has said in its public statement. >> thank you very much for the latest information. and joining me now, april ryan. the white house correspondent for american urban radio and former pennsylvania governor, and nbc news political analyst ed rendell. thank you both for joining us. we're getting more information in great detail of adam lanza's life. it is interesting with this headline of 154 rounds, that the nra responded in the way it did to the notion that there was a card or nra certificate found at that family's home saying it would be defamatory and reckless to report that they were members

or there was a member relationship, but something was found there at the home them didn't react to the number of rounds or the ongoing legislation. it is the notion that a certificate with the nra was found in that home. >> which is almost irrelevant. members of good organizations can do bad things. so that's irrelevant. what isn't irrelevant is 154 bullets shot with ten, with i guess, five high capacity 30-round magazines. if the congress of the united states in light of this won't bring that to a vote, and won't limit high capacity magazines that are sold and distributed and imported into this country to no more than ten clips, they should all be embarrassed. they should be ashamed of themselves and they should resign. the people of this country ought to be furious when they heard that in order to absolutely demand a vote on high capacity magazines and a yes vote limiting the ten. >> it is interesting, the president's remarks only a

couple hours ago. he took great issue with the fact that people believe that the battle over what he called common sense gun control measures is dead. there was an article that perhaps he had waited too long, taken his eye off the ball dealing with sequestration. and the president giving those emotional remarks after the new information on the search warrants. >> reporter: tamron, the longer you wait, the longer it is out from the event, the less people feel the emotion and it has been 100 days. so he is trying to capitalize again. next week president obama wednesday plans to travel to denver, colorado, to talk about tough gun control laws. trying to bring this home five days before congress comes back to session. comes back to work. and also, the white house is saying that there will be subsequent events on gun control after that even. so he is still trying to push it. and going back to what you were talking about, even mike isikoff, earlier this month the

attorney general eric holder was at the university of massachusetts law school discussing the worst day of his life. the worst day in the position that he is in now. he was talking about how he saw blood on the floor at sandy hook at newtown and how he saw where the bullets had picked up the carpet there. so they are really in unison trying to make the case. and get congress to pass tougher gun control. >> governor rendell, give us your perspective. you've oversaw an entire, it has been just over 100 days. perspective is everything. as he said, we have not, meaning those who are fighting for gun safety, have not forgotten or is the public or perhaps some pundits being too harsh in saying that while so much time has passed, is it really that much time when you're talking about legislation that we knew from the very beginning that would be hard fought for those who want to see some type of

change? >> no. i think your point is a good one. i don't think the public has lost its fervor here. i think we want common sense things to be done. i think if people stop it from happening, they're going to be punished. there are four suburban republican congressmen outside the city of philadelphia. their districts are 90% plus for universal background checks. 70% plus for high capacity magazines being limited. if they don't vote yes on those, they do so at their own peril. and worse, if their leadership tries to stop the bill from coming to the floor, we're going to make sure that they're confronted with that. and ask them to sign it. let me interrupt you. senator mike lee, as he party of the senators bound to filibuster. rand paul, ted cruz. right after the president's remarks said this. the proposals the president is calling for congress to pass would primarily serve to reduce

the constitutionally protected rights of law-abiding citizens while having little or nor effect on crime. it is deeply unfortunate that he continues to use the tragedy at newtown as a back drop for pushing legislation that would have done nothing to prevent that horrible crime. highlighting there, senator lee saying the president was using newtown to back legislation. >> well, first of all, it is fair game. all these tragedies do matter. and they should be used to convince people. but let me say this about senator lee. he is obviously not thinking clearly. how in god's name can he say that a limit on high capacity magazines to no more than ten shots in a magazine wouldn't have affected the outcome in newtown now that he knows 154 bullets were fired in five minutes? of course it would affect the outcome. there would be less children dead. maybe some of those teachers would be alive. everyone can see that. what's the harm? what is the abuse to ordinary gun owners? no ordinary gun owner needs a

30-bullet clip. it is ridiculous. these guys have got to start giving the american people the true story. and our senator here know pat toomey is a good guy. is he going to vote so we don't even get a vote on common sense legislation? >> it is interesting. the mayors against illegal guns are out with a new ad. we know that gabby giffords and her husband said it is so easy to go through background check to get a firearm in their state. but you have this cbs news poll that shows support for gun control laws now at 47%. right after newtown, 57%. again, going back to perspective. is 100 days a long period of time or are people expecting too much too soon? you can look at it both ways. nevertheless, what is the next strategy for the president and the white house? we saw his emotions tick up.

we saw the families again. what is the next strategy? is it to continue to take it on the road? you mentioned denver. >> again, taking it on the road and as well, bringing it back to the white house. during the time the congress is back in session, before the vote and while they're still out. and you have to remember as well. you have something that is really pushing against this white house. the strong gun lobby with the initials nra. also, you have as they are talking about limiting the ammunition, the magazines, you have another strong lobby. the manufacturers of the ammunitions. so they are very concerned about the fact that you might be pulling up and down pennsylvania. >> people may be pulling their rights, their limits. they don't want to have limits them want to create what they can to make sales and make money. so you have two major gun lobbies or lobbies against this effort. and then you have people screaming second amendment

rights. we'll see how it plays out in the next couple weeks. >> thank you. i greatly appreciate you joining me today. thank you both. new developments on the health of global icon nelson mandela. doctors say the 94-year-old is responding positively to treatment for a recurring lung infection. the former south african president went to the hospital late last night. it is his third hospitalization in just four months. mandela became a symbol of freedom and resistance to racism after serving 27 years in prison for fighting the country's regime. that is when he contracted tuberculosis. he has served as the country's legendary president. our reporter is live in south africa. is that all that doctors say he seem to be responding positively to the treatment? >> reporter: well, a little more information than that, tamron, in this latest update from the office of the current president about the health of the former

president, nelson mandela. earlier we learned that he was taken into the hospital just before midnight. ferried from his home in johannesberg to an unnamed hospital inside a private ambulance. this is the third trip in four months to a hospital. this is the first that isn't being described as being routine or being scheduled. but we are told by a spokesman for south africa's president today that he is receiving the very best health care possible. that he is conscious and that his wife has been at his bed side for some of the day. now, we are told this is a recurrence of a lung infection. the same infection that brought him into the hospital earlier this year. and once again, before christmas last year. >> thank you so much. greatly appreciate the report. after all the speculation, actress ashley judd said she will not challenge senator mitch mcconnell in 2014.

the "washington post" calls this great news for democrats. is there any democrat who can take on mitch mcconnell? we'll have the very latest on that. and banks in cyprus reopen for the first time in more than a week. there are now limits on how much money customers can withdraw from will have own accounts. aimed at preventing a run on the banks. we'll see if it had any impact on the markets here in the states. you can join our conversation on twitter. you can find us at tamron hall and also at "news nation." ♪ i am stuck on band-aid brand ♪ ♪ 'cause germs don't stick on me ♪ [ female announcer ] band-aid brand has quiltvent technology with air channels to let boo boos breathe.

it has been a tense day in cyprus where banks reopened for the first time.

there were long lines ahead of the opening and there are strict limits on the amount of money people can withdraw. 300 euros. that's equal to about $383. chief correspondent joins us live. michelle, this limit on money was obviously designed to prevent a run on the bank. that at least was the fear there. >> reporter: it seems to have worked. there were very long lines and then they petered out. these were people who didn't have an atm card for the last two weeks. they're elderly people who don't tend to use them or people who had lost them and they were desperate for cash. the number of elderly people told us they really needed the money to go buy groceries. so once they imposed the limit of the 300 euros per day, if you were someone who wanted to take all your money out of bank, you couldn't anymore. and so there couldn't be a run on the bank. you wouldn't see lines and lines of people taking that money out. maybe putting it in a mattress

or a safe in the house. so it has thwarted the run for now. the question is when those controls go away, what will happen to the banks? >> when are those controls expected to go away? is there any time line of what will happen next here? >> reporter: impossible to know. they've said weeks but when we've seen similar cases, for example, argentina in 2001, they lasted for more than a year. it is really difficult to tell at this point. >> michelle, thank you very much. and wall street seem to be at least ignoring the crisis. the dow crossed into record territory for the first time in more than five years. right now the dow is up 35 points. joining me live, tyler mathison, i was on the "today" show this morning and at least the belief was that this crisis in cyprus would have a negative impact on

the markets here. >> reporter: cyprus, nobody seem to care. after sitting on the threshold of a new record, the best broad market indicator of u.s., pierced through all time high set about six, seven years ago. earlier today at 1565. that was the record it needed to get through. the dow has been setting records all quarter. i want to point this out for viewers. on the 12 prior time the dow has finished the first quarter with gains of 8% or greater. and right now, it is on track for about an 11% gain in the first quarter. on those 12 prior times, every single time the stock market ended the year on the plus side. so that, not to say they'll have a lot more gains but they ended the year with gains. that should tell you that the market is ready for a pretty good year. at least based on the first quarter. >> all right. thank you very much for the latest. good to have you on. coming up, we know about a cigarette tax but what about a

[ male announcer ] campbell's chunky soup. it fills you up right. new developments in what was shaping up to be potentially the country's most watched senate contest. actress ashley judd says she will not run against incumbent kentucky senator mitch mcconnell. judd writes, it would be the greatest honor of my life to be an entrusted servant to our beloved kentucky. perhaps someday i will be. however i've thoughtfully and prayerfully concluded that i won't run for the united states

senator at this time. our first read team notes that hopes are turning to allison grimes. we're not so sure that she or any other democrat will have a better chance at defeating o'connell, despite his underwhelming poll numbers. senior political editor mark murray, let's start with ashley judd. you have some conservative groups who are attacking her even before she announced that she wouldn't run. there seemed to be at least a threat that they anticipated what happened here. >> they did. and there were ads when videos, a lot of negative hits on her. that's not unusual in politics. for people weighing a potential race, particularly somebody who has a celebrity status that ashley judd has, that was no surprise at all. but as mentioned, kentucky is going to be a difficult state for any democratic candidate. whether it is ashley judd, allison grimes, someone else.

mitt romney after all ended up getting 60% of the vote in kentucky in 2012. and remember, that was a democratic leaning year. of course, the obama campaign didn't campaign in kentucky but kentucky is a pretty tough state for democrats. >> do we know any more scoop behind her decision? that sounds like a thoughtful message that she put out. but any more? was she worried that she wouldn't have support from big name democrats? >> she would have plenty of support. plenty of money. and it would have been the most watched senate contest for 2014. you and i had she gotten into this race would be talking about that kentucky senate race from the summer of 2014 to the fall. it would have had a tremendous am of publicity. perhaps one thing might have been having the stomach to have that kind of fight. but also, the chances of victory. it is one thing for al franken to win in minnesota as we saw. also, elizabeth warren to win in massachusetts in 2012. it would be very difficult for ashley judd to have won in kentucky, particularly in an

offyear election like 2014. >> it wasn't very long ago, bill clinton was in town and he was asked who he would endorse. and he said it was too early to say. he was specifically asked about ashley judd. we know he may have some influence in this state eventually when a democrat is selected. >> reporter: that's right. and he would be the one that any democrat would probably want to campaign with. this is not a pro obama state even among democrats. in the democratic primary in 2012. 42% of democrats voted for someone else other than president obama. so bill clinton would need to be the key person campaigning. the key endorser. whether it is president obama, bill clinton, kentucky remains a very tough state for democrats. particularly in races like a senate contest. >> thank you very much. we'll see you tomorrow. >> thanks. coming up, houses in washington state literally, look at this video on the edge after a massive mud slide. shocking before and after images of what happened there. one house has already been wiped

to the white house, the president's remarks urging congress to not let the memory of newtown fade and act on the promise of tougher gun control laws. >> the reason we're talking about it here today is because it is not done until it's done. and there are some powerful voices on the other side that are interested in running out the clock or changing the subject or drowning out the majority of the american people to prevent these reforms from happening at all. they're doing everything they can to make all our progress collapse under the weight of fear and frustration or their assumption is that people will forget about it. >> this week, columnist roger simon asks, can anyone beat the nra? and he joins us now. thank you for joining us again.

we know that today is the, the mayors against illegal guns are calling the day to demand action them want to push congress to block universal background checks. we have a map of places or states across the country east to west where there are rallies. you asked the question, can anyone beat the nra? is your answer different today than maybe even a year ago? >> yeah. the nra can be beaten. the nra has been beaten. bill clinton beat them and passed a ban on assault weapons. last week in colorado, they banned gun magazines of over 15 bullets. they passed a law requiring universal background checks. if colorado, a western gun state can do it, congress can do it. the nra is not some mythical all powerful force. it is just a lobbying group.

>> with all the dialogue we've had now, and it has been more than 100 days since newtown. the nra has not moved one bit from its initial reaction after that shooting to where we are now. you also have three republican senators vowing to filibuster any legislation regarding universal background checks. so you know and i know that there are some people who would say it sure looks at this point like the nra's tactic that it has used many times after other massacres and shootings is working again. >> simply put, the headlines are wrong. gun control is not dead this year. certain things, specifically a ban on assault weapons, is probably gone. we're not going to get it. other thing are still possible. universal background checks. very important. 40% of all gun sales are at gun shows where there are no background checks to see if

you're insane, you've been judged dangerously mentally ill, or an escaped criminal. a restriction on gun magazines, still possible. we can still get these things. i've spent the week calling senate staffers and saying. do e-mails and phone call and letters actually matter to your senator? or is it just baloney? they say, no, we keep track. every day we give a list to our senator. and we say the e-mails are running 4-1 in favor of gun control. >> did you hear that from republican lawmakers in red states? who are you hearing that from? >> you can hear that from any senate staffers. yes, senators and congressmen do respond to campaign contributions. especially large ones. but they also respond to voters. they want to keep their jobs.

if their mail and phones and e-mails are running 9-1, 8-1, 7-1 against something or for something, they're going to be for it. >> if that's true, why haven't we heard from example, a house gop member or a republican senator who has come out and perhaps changed or, i don't want to say adjusted their position but certainly, coming out and being more compromising over the ammunition ban or the military style weapons ban that some are seeking. >> very few want to take the point. they don't want to be a lightning rod. they're going to wait and see how the vote is going to go. they're going to wait to hear from their whips and say do we have 40 votes, 45 votes, 50 votes, 60 votes, some want to cast symbolic votes. harry reid, democratic leader of the senate.

>> and an nra member. >> and an nra member. from nevada, a big gun state. he has to worry about those democrats up for re-election in 2014 from red states. from states where president obama lost by 10 points or more. he wants them protected. he is going to give them an assault weapons vote. so he can go on election day in 2014 and say i also voted for limiting the amount of ammo in gun magazines. it is a tradeoff. >> people should check out your latest article. and momentum is growing to tax pot in colorado and washington.cash-starved legislators are seeing dollar signs in dime bags with talk

that a tax on marijuana would pump hundreds of millions or billions into budgets still reeling from the recession. not a great pot expert but a great journalist. thank you for joining us. we've heard this before. you hear people say why not legalize pot so you can tax it like cigarettes and make money. you have at least one columnist who says this is not a cash cow that can solve anyone's fiscal problem. there is a lot of exaggeration about how big the revenue can be. >> he has a point. i personally find this issue so fascinating. this is one of these issues when you talk to people, even the most apolitical people, this is something everybody has an opinion when you talk about legalizing pot or taxing people. it is a unique situation. because the lawmakers who are in the position to possibly start regulating this or taxing cannabis pot, they know the least about this whole industry, how it is used, what the price is, the supply and demand.

>> so are you saying snoop dogg should be in charge? >> there is a little disconnect between the reality. this professor has a good point. in 2010 there were huge studies done. one by the rand corporation. one by the kateo institute. the kato institute found we would add $9 billion in revenues and save $9 billion in enforcement. he found out it was all very inconclusive, supply, demand, and the tax rate are all variable that's we cannot control. it is not something, it is not as easy as taxing cigarettes or taxing alcohol. it is not that simple. it is a gray area. >> but it is easy to entice. you have this senator from colorado, a democrat who said he has seen estimates in the high ten of millions, as much as 100 million that would come in if you tax marijuana. again, some experts say there is no way to know because you don't have any control. there is no regulation on the pot market so we don't know how much is being consumed or how much is being sold. when you hear a lawmaker saying

that all of these millions could be raised and you've got a cash strapped straight or a cash strapped city that you're looking at. people start seeing dollar signs. >> what they forget, unlike tobacco, cannabis, pot, that's something you can grow any place. you can grow on it your backyard or a window sill. in the mountains, almost any place. how is the government going to regulate all of this. that said, i think the states will fumble their way through this issue and that's a good thing. wave conflict right now between the federal policy on pot and the states. and there has to be some sort of tension to eventually force legislation at the federal levels. like we're seeing now with same sex marriage. the public opinion is moving, it will have to be decided by the rt could. i say it will be messy. but it is a good thing that we're getting to it. still ahead from pot to religion, what a transition. pope francis making his first

as pope france i celebrates holy weeks, everything following in the footstep of jesus. in rome he washed and kissed the feast inmates at a jail for minors. it is part of his message to catholics to reach out to, quote, lost sheep during the coming easter weekend. it is the latest example of how he is dubbed the quote, pope of firsts is dispensing with tradition and leading the church in his own direction. claudio, let me get your reaction. we've got these new pictures in of the pope kissing the feet of young inmates in jail. washing their feet.

what has been their reactions? >> reporter: well, tamron, as you said. this is a poach firsts. he broke away from tradition so many times. but he is also, the pope of lasts. he is the pope. he wants to be the pope of those who have lost hopeful there is nobody who needs more hope than young and juvenile inmates. that's why he decided to go to the juvenile center to wash their feet instead of going to st. john's basilica where most of his predecessors went to wash the feast priests. he wants to be the pope of the dejected. of the homeless, of the poor. and also, of prisoners, the inmates. he is continuing a tradition that he has started. as a cardinal, as an archbishop where he was doing on holy thursday, exactly the same thing. he went to wash the feet of inmates. >> and he also issued this

saying this demands we go out from ourselves from living a tired and habitual faith. we know that adding to this, the pope of firsts. the first time he saw the papal apartments, he said you can fit 300 people in here. remember, this is the man that as a cardinal was living in a very small studio apartment in buenos aires. a big apartment that the church wants to give him there, too. so this has not been new for pope francis as he is just continuing what the cardinal was doing in his previous life. if you think that he even

refused to stay in the suite of the dense where they offered him to stay. he is staying in a very small and normal room because he is saying, this is what jesus would have done and this is what i'm doing, tamron. >> claudio, it is a great pleasure having you on. thank you for joining us. an olympic star oscar pistorius, a judge has eased bail restrictions on him. under the new bail conditions, he has to give the judge his travel plans a week in advance and turn in his passport a week of return. people close him to say he has no immediate plans to compete. and tuesday flew two practice stealth bomber run over south korea today. it is the second such run in less than a week. flights come after north korea
