perspective. michael steel and michael eric dyson, thank you. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. first things first. this is not a story about football. whether or not you like football or pay any attention to football at all, i'm just saying, this may be helpful to understand just in terms of understanding the news right now and understanding the american zeitgeist right now. whether or not you care about football you may want to know about this guy. and what has just happened to him. his name is johnny manziel. as you can tell, he is very, very pleased with himself. they call him johnny football. he was an excellent college quarterback in texas. and thises should first season in the nfl. the thing you see him doing there in the video is the money -- like the money gesture. that's his signature move, right? look what i did. i'm so great. money. his signature style.

super confident. super cocky. every time he does something good he wants you to know that's money in the bank for him. johnny manziel. he now plays for the professional football team in cleveland. and yesterday for the first time in a really key game at home, cleveland decided that they were going to start johnny manziel as quarterback. his first ever career nfl start. and johnny manziel and the cleveland browns lost, 30-0. he threw no touchdowns, his team scored no points at all. the only good throws he had were to the other team. with him leading the cleveland offense, cleerld was so terrible on offense that only once in the entire game did the browns even cross over onto the other team's side of the field. once in the whole game. and cleveland is not a good team. and they have not been a good team for a long time. usually, if you are like me, at

least you want to root for the bad team, the underdog. but that is harder to do when this is the face of the team, right? when a guy this arrogant, right, this cocky is the face of the team. cocky janney manziel. mr. johnny football had a terrible start in the nfl. the other team that beat him and beat his team, yeah, they were all doing this. the other team, all the opposing players who kept knocking him down throughout the game. all the fans from the cincinnati team that beat manziel and the browns, they had a great time not just beating manziel and his team but taunting this guy in particular. they are all doing that little money gesture the whole time. arrogance and trash talk and being cocky are run of the mill thing in sports. but there's one bottom line rule about that. if you're going to be super cocky, you better be really good. that was true this weekend for one very full of himself texas

quarterback. it was also true this weekend for one very junior texas senator. politics is almost wrapped up for the year. house has gone home. senate is don to the last waning days. friday night, looked like an orderly plan had been worked out about how they were going to finish up for the year. senators would be allowed to go home friday night. come back monday morning. they'd take up the same bill that passed the house with drama the night before. after they did that monday morning and the remaining day or two before they wrapped up for the year, senators -- before senators decided they could no longer take working anymore and had to go home. they got another day or two after the funding bill. maybe democrats would have time to get in a few more nominations before they handed over control of the senate to the republicans? maybe? once the republicans take control, presumably no obama nominee will ever get confirmed again. the democrats thought they may be able to squeeze in a few more

nominations before the end of the session. they'd go away for the weekend, come back monday and vote on the spending plan and a few more nominations. senator mitch mcconnell seen hopping into an elevator friday night. bye. i'll see you monday. but then, senator ted cruz of texas decided to pull one of his patented senator ted cruz of texas stunts. he pulled a parliamentary maneuver late friday night which threw the whole plan out the window. the senators in fact, would not be allowed to go home for the weekend. instead, they'd have to stay in washington. they had, in fact, to stay in session on saturday for ten straight hours of voting and parliamentary procedure because of ted cruz. now what ted cruz held everything up for was a symbolic vote. a symbolic, meaning, substantively meaningless vote an president obama's immigration action.

there's no reason why they had to take this symbolic vote now as they are facing all these other deadlines in the end of the session. there's no reason it had to be now. ted cruz just decided he wanted it to be now. had it passed, it would have done nothing. it didn't pass. it failed by a huge margin. so what was that about? by forcing that vote to happen this weekend, what ted cruz did substantively was one thing. and democrats, a huge favor by keeping the senate in session over the weekend, thereby giving the democrats more time when the senate is in session and the democrats are still in control. he let the democrats start the clock ticking two days earlier than they otherwise were going to. an a bunch of the nominations they were going to try to squeeze in. the question about all of these nominees is not whether or not they'll pass or get a majority vote. it's just whether or not there's enough timing, whether or not

they can get through all the procedural hurdles before the senate recesses. ted cruz by doing what he did, just gave the democrats two extra days to get all of their nominees through. it is possible that more than 20 additional people will be confirmed by the democrats who otherwise would not have had a chance because of what ted cruz did this weekend, which again had no point and failed. and so even if you don't like football, what just happened here is ted cruz, the super full of himself rookie quarterback from texas is now laying on the grond an his back having completely failed an the largest possible stage and everyone in politics is now standing over him going like this. taunting him about how full of himself he is and how bad he is at this game, which is a bad combination in sports, in politics and in life. so here's senator chuck schumer lording it over him.

i was worried dr. vivek month ary might not get confirmed, but thanks to ted cruz, he will. also thank you, senator. here's barbara boxer. ted cruz gave us a wonderful opening to do nominations. he gave us an open, and we took it. but it wasn't just democrats. the proverbial opposing team taunting ted cruz. it was also his own team. republican senator orrin hatch of utah, quote, you should have an end goal in sight if you're going to do these types of things, and i don't see an end goal other than irritating a lot of people. susan collins, republican of maine. i don't understand the approach he's taking, and i think it's very unfortunate and counterproductive. senator kelly ayotte says, i think this is ridiculous. asked what he thought about what senator cruz did this weekend,

republican senator lindsey graham said, i haven't seen harry reid smile this much in years and i didn't particularly like it. congress might have been entirely over by now. it would have at least been wrapping up a lot faster had senator ted football not got be his brilliant idea this weekend to do whatever it is he thought he was doing with all the confidence in the world. but as it stands, the spending bill passed as is. they passed the same one the house passed the night before. the government is not going to shut down. and because of ted cruz, democrats are going to get 20 or 25 more obama nominees through before they give up control of the united states senate. the most high-profile of the nominees they are going to and have gotten through is this man, dr. vivek murthy. he was approved by a vote of the full senate tonight, thank you, ted cruz. dr. murthya's nomination had

been stalled for more than a year because the nra decided to wage war on his candidacy. dr. murthy had never been an activist on gun issues or particularly involved in either side of the gun rights, gun debate, but the nra was going to make an example out of him. because of a couple of times he had expressed his opinion online that gun violence should be seen as a public health matter. the nra decided that was a bridge too far. they've been fighting his nomination. before today's vote the nra announced they'd be scoring the vote on this nomination meaning voting for him would hurt any lawmakers' nra ratings. if they cast a vote for this they couldn't get a perfect rating from the nra. the senate voted today to confirm him anyway. finally, as a country, we're about to get a surgeon general. haven't had one for a year and a half. to be clear, vivek murthy is not

a gun control activist or on gun issues. there's no reason substantively that his nomination should be seen as a win for the gun reform side. except for the political fact that in order to get him as surgeon general, you had to beat the nra. and they beat the nra. the nra lost this one tonight when he was confirmed. and that comes as the country marks two years since the elementary school massacre at sandy hook elementary in newtown, connecticut in december 2012. it's been two years. and today, the families of nine of the kids and adults who were killed that day, and one of the adults who was shot multiple times that day but survived, today, two years on, those families did something that, if it works, wouldn't be just a political threat to the nra and its reputation, but rather an exstensial threat to the nra and

its grip on our politics. back in 2004, family members of those killed by the d.c. sniper filed a lawsuit about the gun that that sniper had used. he apparently obtained that gone from a gun store which said he had shoplifted it. he stole it. never paid for the gone. must have somehow just take ten off their shelf because they don't have any record of selling anything to him. the families of the people killed by the d.c. sniper sued that gun store saying way too many guns mysteriously walked off the shelves of that store. mysteriously stolen and off the books and untraceable and used in way too many crimes. the family stored that gun store for that and sued the manufacturer of the gun that was used in the d.c. sniper shootings. to say this lawsuit -- that this store lost track of so many guns and had so many guns quote/unquote stolen from them. the manufacturer should not have

distributed guns to that store. the manufacturer should have known that store was too irresponsible to be selling their product. so they filed that lawsuit and the d.c. sniper case, and they within. both the goun store and gun manufacturer had to pay out. the nra freaked out. the nra decided to lobby congress to pass a law in 2005, george w. bush signed it. it tries to ban those kind of lawsuits. it makes guns a special type of product. you can sue all kinds of makers of all kinds of products except for guns. they tried to shield gun manufacturers from being sued for any reason. the newtown families, ten of the newtown families are putting that to the test. their new lawsuit today says the ar-15 bushmaster rifle used to kill all those kids and those staffers at sandy hook

elementary, that gun should not have been sold to the general public because it's designed for and only appropriate for military use or law enforcement use. and their argument in the lawsuit is based an some very stark and specific history. look at this from the lawsuit. after world war ii, the u.s. army analyzed over 3 million casualty reports from world war i and world war ii. modern combat occurred at short range and was highly mobile. these findings led the u.s. army to develop specifications for a new combat weapon. a lightweight firearm that would hold a large detachable magazine and rapidly expel ammunition. so those were the specifications that the army asked for. quote, a company called armalight designed the ar-15 in response. gas operated magazine fed the ar-15's capacity for rapid fire with limited recoil meant its lethality was not dependent on good aim or ideal combat conditions.

the military adopted the ar-15 as its standard issue service rifle calling it the m-16. after armalight sold its rights, colt began manufacturing the m-16. colt remains the largest supplier of combat rifles to the military. bushmaster holds the distinction of being the largest supplier of combat rifles to civilians. when ar-15s or m-16s are distributed in a military context or to law enforcement, the lawsuit traces all the specialized training and supervision and controls that soldiers in law enforcement get an the proper hand ling and use and storage of those weapons. in contrast, when you give them to the untrained general public, it's a free-for-all. bushmaster knew or should have known the sale of assault rifles posed an inn reasonable and egregious risk of physical

injuries to others. bushmaster knew or should have known of the civilian population's poor record of safely securing weapons. that was filed today. so today was a bad day for the nra in washington when they lost this political fight that they picked against vivek murthy. today was a bad day in washington for the nra, but today was a really bad day for the nra in connecticut when this potentially game-changing lawsuit was filed against them by the families from sandy hook. joining us is josh koskov, one of the lawyers representing those ten newtown families. thank you for joining us. >> thank you rachel. >> did i roughly explain the argument? >> i might as well go home. that was really good.

>> i was quoting what you wrote. what is the ultimate goal. i look at the 2005 law that president bush signed and i thought that law was to preclude this kind of fight against the gun industry. >> it was. and i had never handled a gun case before. this is my first gun case. when i started looking into these cases and saw that law, first i thought somebody had typed something up purposefully to make me angry, and to give me no hope. and -- but this law is a broad immunity. but like all immunities, your goal as a lawyer, especially one who is representing people like as deserving and as shattered and as heartbroken as my clients are, is to find a way to, through that immunity, and as hard work, i guess would have it, not by me, per se, but by

people i work with, we discovered a clear path through the immunity. and not only that. so it really came together for us. so the nra is powerful interest, obviously. you touched on it. this is an industry that makes the world's most dangerous product, yet ooh rironically yo can't sue them when it's inefective. yet you can sue a pillow manufacturer. >> through this part of the movement, you haven't been an advocacy lawyer on this issue. you have people who are within the movement, have come up, part of a grand strategy and who do the next agreed upon thing. we see this in gay rights cases. often times the cases that break things open, are people who just

decide that what everybody else is fighting about is not the right way to go. you are charting your own course here. >> that's probably true. i think that -- if happens to me if i'm trying a certain type of case. you start to lose your creativity and imagination with the law. it's helpful we weren't burdened by the failures or difficulties and hurdles of the law. we were -- when we saw it, we were shocked, but sometimes that combination of finding something really difficult and representing people that are so worthy, all it does to you as a lawyer is make you want to fight harder and to find a way. and we found that way, rachel. i'm pretty sure we found our way. and it was enough so that i could say to my clients, you know what? we've got a case here. and it would have been heartbreaking to tell them we didn't have a case, but i would

have done that if we didn't find a way. >> do you expect there's any risk if you go forward with this and lose it, is there any risk that a ruling against you, if you don't succeed, that it could set back the effort for gun reform by enshrining something in law that right now is ambiguous? >> you know, if you worry too much about what could go wrong, you would never do things that make change and go right. and so i think that a lot of my colleagues who would say they wouldn't take this case because of fear of that or because it's too hard, and that's perfectly reasonable. but my feeling was, if we weren't going to handle this case in connecticut, which happened in our own backyard, then we might as well just fold them up. i'm not worried because, a, the status of the law on guns is not that great. with the immunity that you

reference. and we have to keep testing these immunities that are protective of big industry because things change over time. you know, once upon a time there wasn't massacre every six months. and so now it's apparent that these weapons are used disproportionately for these massacres. it's no longer acceptable to say, we didn't know or, look, some crazy person did it. >> right. exactly. the sense of recurrence, dread and deja vu every time we see the next headline about another one of these incidents is a change that happens in the hearts of judges. josh koskoff. it's a wrongful death lawsuit against the manufacturer of the bushmaster used in the sandy hook massacre. i should tell you, we reached out to the company that makes the bashmaster ar-15. they said they cannot comment on ongoing litigation. we'll keep asking, though. stay with us.

we'll be right back. when the game's on the line. hit him with a hard count, see if they'll tip their hand. the nfl trusts duracell quantum to their game day communication. they're blitzing up the gut! get out of the pocket! hut! duracell quantum. lasts up to 35% longer than the competition.

an entire roomful of dedicated professional journalists and tv producers debated the merit of one of our stories tonight. decided it was frankly tasteless and beyond the pale. and then insisted that i make room for it on tonight's show. it's tasteless and beyond the pale. it's also too amaze balls not to include in tonight's show. it's coming up at the end of the show with a little advance regret on my part. still, it's coming.

we should have seen it coming this summer. we should have seen it coming

when senator coburn said he objected to the plans to build a new v.a. health care facility in his state because the planned facility in tulsa, oklahoma, he said, was too nice for the veterans. he complained to the local press in oklahoma. quote, they are building a taj mah mahal. oklahoma's veterans had their home state senator to block for trying to block a new health care facility for oklahoma veterans because senator coburn thought it was too nice for them. we should have seen it coming. when senator coburn took to the floor of the senate tonight to single-handedly block a veterans bill to try to stop veterans suicide, this bill already passed the house, has almost unanimous support and is 100% bipartisan. when senator coburn went to explain he didn't care how much support this had, he was going to personally block that bill. what i did not expect was his rambling and emotional incoherence when he tried to

explain himself. watch this. this is why veterans don't get the enhanced suicide prevention measures they got everybody else to agree to. this is why. this guy. >> my grandfather was awarded the highest honor the french give for his work during world war i. i also would state that as a physician, i know suicide all too well. i have failed patients in the past doing everything i knew to do. i've treated patients with the demons that these young men and women have. when every veteran regardless how long his hair is or how unshaven he is or how scraggly he looks oir how nice he is is greeted with a yes sir or yes, ma'am is greeted with a smile at

every veteran facility, is treated with the respect that they deserve because they served and some of us didn't, my heart breaks for the people who commit suicide. you know what it is? they find no relief anywhere else except death. there's no answer for them. we don't give it to them. we have failed them. i personally have failed them. events. catastrophic events. depression and situations lead people to suicide. not any one individual. they are searching for an answer that we have failed to give them. they are searching for the support and the nurturing and the love that needs to be there. >> does anybody have any idea

substantively what tom coburn is talking about? he's about to leave the senate. he gave this speech, this incoherent speech on the senate floor about how much his heart breaks over people committing suicide and how veterans need more support and then something about the french and his grandpa and a smiling long haired man in the relief of death. he goes on and an about his own failures, cried a little bit, got choked up and balked the modest best practices bill the veterans groups say will make the difference to stop 22 veterans a day from killing themselves. nobody else has an objection at all. just tom coburn who is leaving the senate. this is the last thing he'll ever do in the united states senate. a speech about the demons and his own failures and him blocking the veterans suicide bill while talking about

himself. and they're going to pass this thing next year when tom coburn is gone. they'll brng tup again and they'll pass it in the house unanimously and pass it in the senate unanimously because cobrn will be gone. once he's gone they'll pass this thing and it will become law. this is what coburn will be remembered for forever. 22 veterans a day, senator. sleep well.

there's been these two terrible and dramatic standoffs. one international, one national. the international standoff was the sydney, australia, situation. a gunman took hostage 17 employees and customers. held them for more than 16 hours. he put up a black islamic banner in the window of the cafe but does not seem to have been tied to any known terrorist groups. he had lots of legal trouble. out an bail on unrelated but serious legal charges. that hostage standoff ended with the hostage taker and two of his hostages killed. four other people wounded. that siege was a terrible overnight ordeal that brought out a huge police presence in sydney, australia. that one is over. the gunman has been killed. that one is resolved. that's the international one. the domestic standoff is already significantly more lethal and at this hour, not resolved because the suspect is still on the

loose. this is the one going on in pennsylvania. started with a series of shootings in montgomery, pennsylvania. the manhunt was extended from montgomery into bucks county. authorities are searching for this man, 35-year-old bradley stone from pennsburg, pennsylvania. he's suspected in three shootings in three different locations today. shootings that left his ex-wife dead, as well as five other people. six altogether. beyond his ex-wife, all five of the other victims are reported to have been members of his ex-wife's family. the district tarn in montgomery county says the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous. has advised residents of pennsburg, pennsylvania, to remain inside their homes and keep their doors locked. again, one of the very alarming things despite the high body count is this is an unresolved situation. it seemed to be rooted in a domestic conflict.

the gurney. witnesses at the time testify the man was trying to get up. we had him strapped down and taped down and wouldn't let him. he was arching his back. he tried to get up. we knew the night it happened that the execution in oklahoma had gone wrong somehow. in the 43 minutes it took that oklahoma prisoner to die, we know he writhed and called out and gasped all while he was supposed to be unconscious and feeling nothing. in the midst of that 43 minutes and him not dying like he was supposed to. state officials eventually pulled the curtains so the witnesses couldn't see what was happening. then they attempted to call off that execution. they attempted to try to stop killing him after they had already started. the governor's office told the

state prison to stop killing the guy writhing on the gurney and not dying but that he eventually did die of a heart attack. we knew all of this from what witnesses said, what they'd been able to see before that curtain was pulled down. over the weekend a new court filing told us things we did not know about that case. the warden of the state prison describes the scene as, quote, a bloody mess. we now know they made more than a dozen attempts to set an i.v. line. the doctor called in to do the execution said someone asked me about putting in another line. i said i wouldn't attempt it, i couldn't. i didn't think i could get another line in and i wasn't going to attempt to. the doctor did anyway try to put the i.v. in again to the prisoner's groin. i remember the doctor again went over there to this left groin and tried to get a needle stuck in there and did get a needle. i don't know where it got at. he got a needle in there and

blood came out of it and got all over the coat/jacket and shirt. the doctor then said he needed to get enough money out of this to buy a new coat and jacket. it shows what happened after the execution was temporarily called off. the doctor said the prisoner would have to be taken to the emergency room. the doctor said he could have started cpr and advanced cardiac life support but he did not. the paramedic was asked why those measures didn't happen. said, quote, because the purpose of being there was to provide an execution and we were told not to reverse it. when oklahoma set out to do a double execution back in april, they were going to kill this first guy and another guy standing by who was going to be killed just hours or even minutes later. when they decided to do a doubleheader execution, the department of corrections had decided for that night that they would hunt around on the internet to find a drug combination they thought would

work to kill those two men. according to this new court filing the person who researched and came up with this experimental formula found it, quote, on wikileaks, or whatever it is. in october, oklahoma called off another scheduled execution in part because they were still trying to get a hold of drugs of some combination of drugs with which they could kill more prisoners. now he state says that next execution will happen january 15th. the man who was scheduled to die january 15th, he's the guy who was scheduled to go second that night back in april. he was scheduled to go second the night the man tried to get up off the beginnerey and they tried to stop killing human and it was a bloody mess and all the rest. they called off the second planned execution that night after the first one went so wrong. that man waiting to die that night and who was spared because of how badly the first one went, now he's scheduled to go next. oklahoma will try again january

15th with whatever combination of drugs they decide to settle an. whatever they find on, you know, wikileaks or whatever. amazing new information in that oklahoma case. joining sus, ziva. they've been digging into this for months now. nice to have you here. >> thank you, rachel. >> what are the substantively new, either details or factual, i guess factual bits of this story that we didn't know before these new revelations this weekend. >> i think i was surprised to hear the warden say the affidavit she signed saying she would follow the department of corrections policies that she essentially controlled this whole process that she said in her words she just signed it. she didn't have anything really to do with choosing the drugs, nor did the department of

corrections director. tarks peered that attorneys were in charge of choosing which drugs to execute lockett with. >> the thing about wikileaks, what it seems they are explaining is they went online, looked around to see what publicly available information might be out there about how you might kill people with available drugs? and these weren't doctors who were making this decision? >> correct. this was the state's first use of a drug called medazalam. there were a lot of questions about whether it would work. the department of corrections general counsel at the time, mr. oakley, said that he did some research online to figure out how long would it take for medazalam to kill someone. could it sedate someone? and he went online and looked on wikileaks, or whatever, was the quoit. the department of corrections said the attorney general's office participated in this process of choosing the drug.

the attorney general's office told me that they deny that. that they were only in an advisory role and that these are not -- these facts are in dispute. however, they came from transcripts of interviews of these officials. >> and their alternate story was the protocol was designed and, in fact, implemented by the warden of the prison who is now on record in these transcripts saying i didn't sign it but i didn't have anything to do with it. the thing that is remarkable here, this execution was a remarkable thing. you were there, one of the people shut out from witnessing it once that curtain was pulled. the state of oklahoma has investigated this and put out their version of what happened. their version of the investigation. what it seems like is this was a botched execution but whatever the state did to investigate it and describe what happened sort of has to be called into question in terms of whether or not that was a cover-up. >> so my partner carrie aspenwall and i investigated this and determined the report

the state put out downplayed significant angles of this story, according to the transcripts. it was described as a chaotic bloody scene. the paramedic himself said the whole day was a cluster. the doctor didn't know he'd have to do an i.v. the warden and executioners knew very little about the drug and how long it would take to work. the state report did not give those impressions at all. it laid the blame on an i.v. that didn't work. >> in terms of what happens next, the state has scheduled and called off subsequent executions. they are planning on doing one january 15th. do you think that significant questions have been raised about whether or not oklahoma knows what it's doing enough about how to kill people and how it intends to kill people to be able to go ahead with that execution in january? does this call that into question? >> i think there are questions that need to be answered. there's a hearing beginning in federal court in oklahoma city wednesday.

expected to cover several days of essentially a motion for preliminary injunction. the death row inmates are asking the judge to stop oklahoma from execute of people until it can be proven the state can do so constitutionally. the state says it has a new protocol, training in place. it's made improvements in the process and they can execute people constitutionally. it will be up to the federal judge to determine if they'll be allowed to go forward. >> ziva branstetter from the "tulsa world" following this case extensively. thank you for helping us understand this new reporting. really appreciate it. >> thank you, rachel. much more to come tonight. stay withes. it's not about how many miles you can get out of the c-max hybrid. it's about how much life you can fit into it. ♪ the ford c-max hybrid. with an epa-estimated range of 540 miles on a tank of gas.

the rain, the mud-babam! we're new to the pacific northwest. it's there. the outside comes in. (doorbell) it's a swiffer wetjet! oh, i love this! i could do this everyday. ewww. sunshine is overrated, now we can get messy. okay. dream it up, and you can find it. if it's a thing you can imagine, the internet has it for you if you know where to look. let's say you want a pillow with an arm attached to it that can cuddle with you. no problem. you can have that. or maybe one night you thought, this toilet paper should glow in the dark. the internet has your back. your back side, whatever. maybe your home is incomplete

without a coffee table shaped like a giant nintendo controller that you can actually play nintendo with. you can get that from the internet machine. your dog needs a hoody. just ask the internet. perhaps your cat needs a hoody. if you ask the internet, you can have one. maybe you love rubber ducks and footy pajamas. you can have them and have them together. even as an adult. i have to tell you, you are not alone in that desire. these are pretty popular. specifically we have good evidence they're popular among current members of congress who reside in texas's 27th district. the man on the right in the ducky pajamas is congressman blake farrenthold. he's a republican. a member of the tea party caucus. these pictures of him in the footy ducky pajamas are not new. they've been around since 2010 when first running for office.

congressman blake farrenthold knows the lasting power of the internet. before he was elected to congress he was in a totally different business. the computer consulting industry. in that role in that time of his life, he purchased a number of internet domain names. bought them on speck, whether he was planning on using them. nothing wrong with that. i cannot complain about someone doing that. we buy domain names all the time on this show. we own arizona honors biology.com which is where we posted the content that an arizona tea party local school board, we posted the content they wanted to cut out of the local biology textbooks. we also own when in doubt, chicken out.com. we own fred thompson is inherently funny.com. we own explore newt 2016.com. we also own empath eyes right on your behind.com which sounds dirty, but it's not.

i point that out because ous of the many domain names that congressman blake farenthold owns, one of them jumps out. but it's the awkward thing. this came up at the news meeting and it's hard to get around. it's a family program. we'd like it to be a family program. it's not a pg name. it's so not pg, i cannot tell you what it is. however, i can tell you what it sounds like. here we go. it sounds like know me.org, but it's not know me because know me.org is for maritime training. it also sounds like show me.org, but it's not show me.org because that's for the missouri economic development council. it also sounds like throw me.org, which is not a real site but would be if we owned a frisbee company. it's not know me or show me or

throw me. it's something else me.org, which i would never and could never say on television. but trust me, i mean, trust me, this story has blown up. it may be a blow to his reputation. when a story blows up like this, the first stinkt that blows through our news room is to request a comment from the congressman himself. and here it is, quote. prior to serving in congress, mr. farenthold operated a computer consulting company that routinely bought domain names, including the one in question. which, let the record reflect, this show has not said out loud. the domain name has never been used, and mr. farenthold has no intention to renew it. no intention to renew it. but he did, yeah, it's his. there you have it. the conservative texas tea party congressman does currently own rhymes with flow me.org, but his

office says he'll soon be relinquishing his rights to that name. well, blow me down. that does it for us tonight. see inherently funny,.com. we own explore newt 2016.com. we also own emphasize right on your behind.com. which sounds dirty, and it's not. out of the many domain names that the congressman owns, one of them jumps out. but this is the awkward thing. this is the thing that came up at the news meeting. this is a family program. the congressman's domain name is not a pg name. it is so not pg that i can't tell you what it is. i can tell you what it sounds like. it sounds like know me.org. but it's not know me.org. it also sounds like show me.org. but it's not show me.org. his website also sounds like throw me.org, which is not a real site, but would be if we owned a frisbee company. it is something else me.org, which i would never and could never say on television. trust me, the story has blown up. it may be a blow t
