i appreciate you both joining me for some reaction to that on an important story. and, again, i want to thank the detective for sharing his story. that is "all in" for this evening. "the rachel maddo wrksz show' starts right now. thank you. that was amazing. 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 kind of 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. and as you can tell, he is very, very pleased with himself. they call him johnny football. he was an excellent college football in texas. and this is his first season in the nfl. the thing that you see him doing, like the money gesture,

that's kind of his signature move. look what he did. i'm so great. money. signature style. super-confident. super-cocky. every time he does something good, he wants you to know that he knows that's money in the bank for him. so, 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. it is 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. cleveland was so terrible on offense, did the browns even cross over to the other team's side of the field? once in the whole game. and you know, cleveland is not a good team.

and they have not been a good team for a long time. and usually, if you're like me, at least, you want to root for the bad team. right? you want to root for the underdog. but that is harder to do when this is the face of the team, right? when a guy this arrogant, this cocky, is the face of the team. so cocky, cocky johnny manziel. he had a terrible start in the nfl. the other team that beat him, the other 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 for the other team, the cincinnati team that beat johnny manziel and the browns, they had a great time. not just beating him, but taunting this guy in particular. they're 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 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 for one very junior texas senator. politics is almost wrapped up for the year. house has gone home. senate is down to the last, waning days. friday night, it looked like there was a relatively orderly plan that had been worked out for the two sides about how they were going to finish up for the year. the senators were going to be allowed to go home on friday night and come back monday morning and the same bill that passed the house with all the drama the night before. after they did that monday morning in the remaining day or two before they wrapped up for the year, senators decide, you know, before senators decided they could no longer take working anymore, they'd have to go home. maybe they got another day or two after the funding bill. maybe democrats would have time to get a few more nominations. before they handed over control of the senate to the republicans? right? maybe? i mean, once the republicans take control, presumably no obama nominee will ever get

confirmed again. so the democrats thought they might be able to squeeze in a few more nominations before the end of the session. they'd go away for the weekend, come back, vote on the spending plan and then a few more nominations. that was the plan friday night. senator mitch mcconnell seen hopping into an elevator, and saying to reporters, bye, i'll see you monday. but, then, senator ted cruz of texas, decided to bull one of his patented senator ted cruz of texas opportunities. he pulled the parliament maneuver late friday night. the senators would not be allowed to go home for the weekend. instead, because of ted cruz, they would have to stay in washington. they had to stay in session on saturday for ten-straight hours of voting and parliamentary procedure because of ted cruz. now, what he held everything up for was a symbolic vote. a symbolic, meaning, a

substantively meaningless vote, on president obama's immigration action. there's no reason why they had to take this symbolic vote now, as they're facing all of these deadlines and 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 this. thereby, giving the democrats more time when the senate is in session over the weekend, and thereby giving the democrats more time when the senate is in session and still in control. specifically, he let the democrats start the clock ticking two days earlier than they otherwise were going to on a bunch of nominations that they were going to try to squeeze in at the end of the year. the question about almost all of these nominees, it's not whether they're going to pass.

whether or not they can get a majority vote. it's just whether or not there's enough time. whether or not they can get through all the procedural hurdles and the forced waiting time 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. and it's 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, you know, even if you don't like football, what just happened here, is ted cruz, the superfull of himself rookie quarterback from texas, is now laying on his back in the biggest possible stage. and everybody in commits 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 and politics and in life.

here's senator chuck schumer lording it over him. senator harry reid's office is thanking him the. thank you, senator. here's barbara boxer. ted cruz gave us an opening to do nominations. he gave us an opening and we took it. it wasn't just the democrats, the 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. senator susan collins, republican of maine. i don't understand the approach he's taking. and i think it's unfortunate and counterproductive.

senator kelly ayotte, i think this is ridiculous. lindsey graham of south carolina responded, quote, i haven't seen harry reid smile this much in years. and i didn't particularly like it. so, congress might have been entirely over by now. they would have at least been wrapping up a lot faster, had senator ted football not gotten his brilliant idea this weekend to do whatever it is he thought he was doing with all of 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. and this one, president obama's nominee to be surgeon general of the united states.

he was approved by a vote of the full senate earlier tonight. thank you, ted cruz. his nomination had been stalled for more than a year because the nra decided to wage war on his candidacy. he had never been an activist on gun issues or particularly involved on either side of the gun rights, gun reform debate. but the nra decided they were going to make an example of him. make a big show over opposing his nomination because of a couple of times he expressed his opinion online that gun violence should be seen as a public health matter in the united states. the nra thought that was too far. they had been fighting his nomination. before today's vote, the nra announced they would be scoring the vote on this nomination. meaning, voting for him would hurt any lawmakers' nra rates. if they cast a vote for this guy. even with that threat, the senate voted for him.

we are about to get a surgeon general. we haven't had one for a year and a half. vivek murphy is not a gun control activist. he's not an activist on gun issues. there's no reason, substantively, that his nomination could 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 you know what? 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 school in december 2012. it's been two years. and today, the families of anyone kids and adults who were killed that day, and one of the adults that was shot that day but survived, two years on after the sandy hook elementary school massacre, those families did something that, if it works, wouldn't be just a political threat to the nra and its

reputation, like vivek murphy was. but an existential threat to the nra. in 2004, the family members of the people killed by the d.c. sniper filed a lawsuit from a gun store. the store said he shoplifted it. he never paid for the gun. they had to take it off his shelf without them knowing. but the families of the people killed by the d.c. sniper sued that gun store saying way too many guns mysterious walked off the shelves of that store, were supposedly stolen and off the books and untraceable and used in crimes. the family sued that gun store for that and they sued the manufacturer of the gun that was used in the d.c. sniper shootings. to say this lawsuit -- this store lost track of so many guns and had so many guns

quote/unquote stolen, that the manufacturer should have cut the store off. 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 in the d.c. sniper case and they won. the gun store and the manufacturer had to pay out to those families. when that happened in 2004, the nra freaked out. this was a decade ago. the nra decided to lobby congress to pass a low in 2005, that george w. bush signed, a law that tries to ban those lawsuits. it makes gun a special type of product. you can sue all types of manufacturers of all consumer products in this country, except the people who make guns. this law tried to shield gun manufacturers from being sued for any reason. now, the newtown family, ten of the newtown families are putting that to the test. their new lawsuit filed today,

says the ar-15 bushmaster rifle that was used to kill the kids and the stafferers at sandy hook elementary, should not be signed to the general public because it's designed for military use or law enforcement use. and their argument in the lawsuit, is based on stark history. after world war ii, the u.s. army analyzed over 3 million casualty reports from world war i and world war ii. its final report observed that modern combat occurred at short range and was highly mobile. this led the u.s. army to develop specifications for a new combat weapon. a light weight weapon that would rapidly expel magazines. those were the specifications that the army asked for. quote, a company called armalite designed the ar-15 in response. lightweight, the capacity for

rapid fire meant its lethality was not dependent on good aim or combat conditions. the army called it the m-16. after armalite sold its licensing rights, colt began manufacturing the m-16 today. colt remains the largest supplier of combat rifles to the military. bushmaster is the largest supplier of combat rifles to civilians. when ar-15s or 16s are distributed in a military context, the lawsuit traces the specialized training and controls that soldiers and law enforcement officers gets on the handling, 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 that the sale of asult rifles posed a risk of injury to others. bushmaster knew or should have known of the civilian population poor track record of 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 murphy to be surgeon general. 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 now is josh coscoff. he's representing one of the

families today. did i roughly explain the argument? >> i might as well go home. >> i was quoting what you wrote. what is the ultimate goal here? i look at that 2005 law that president bush signed. and i thought that law was supposed to procollude this kind of fight against the gun industry ever. >> it was. and i have to confess that i never handled a gun case before. and this is my first gun case. and when i started looking into these cases and i saw that law, first i thought, somebody had typed something up purposely to make me angry. and to give me no hope. 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 people i work with, we discovered a clear path through the immunity. and not only that -- i mean, it really came together for us. so, the nra is a powerful interest, obviously. you touched on it. this is an industry that makes the world's most dangerous product. yet, ironically, you can't sue them when that product is defective. yet, you can sue a pillow manufacturer for designing a bad pillow. >> you're saying you never handled a gun case before. you have not come up through this movement. you've not been an advocacy lawyer in this issue. we've seen that happen in other areas of the law. people in that movement, have come up with a grand strategy, who do the next agreed upon thing. but the cases that break things

open, whether it's abortion rights or gay rights or other civil rights, and perhaps gun rights, i guess, are people who just decide that what everybody else is fighting about is not the way to go. you're charting your own course here. >> that's probably true. you get stuck as a lawyer. it happens to me, too. if i'm trying a certain type of case, time and again, you start to lose your creativity and your imagination with the law. i think it was helpful that we weren't burdened by the failures or the difficulties of -- and the hurdles of the law. we were -- 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 that way. >> do you expect there's any risk, if you go forward with this and you lose it? is there any risk that a ruling against you, if you don't succeed here, it could set back the effort for gun reform by enshrining something in law that is right now ambiguous? >> you know what? if you worry too much about you know what could go wrong, you would never do things that make change and go right. 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, that happened in our own backyard, we might as well fold it up.

i'm not worried. the status of the law on guns is not that great. with the immunity you reference. so, and we have to keep testing these immunities that are protective of big industry because things change over time. once upon a time, there wasn't a massacre every six months. and now, it's apparent that these weapons are used disproportionately in these massacres. it's no longer acceptable to say, we didn't know. or look, some crazy person did it. >> the fact, sense of recurrence, dread and deja vu when we see one of these accidents is a change that happens in the hearts of judges, too. josh koskoff. in is an ambitious legal strategy. >> we reached out to the company that makes the bushmaster ar-15

for comment on this case. they cannot comment an ongoing litigation. we'll keep asking them. stay with us, we'll be right back. so to kill the germs that may make your family sick, we recommend using lysol disinfectant spray every day. lysol is approved to kill 80 germs, including hard to kill viruses that can live on surfaces for over 4 weeks. it works on hard and soft surfaces to help stop the spread of bacteria. so help keep your family healthy with lysol.

so an entire roomful of dedicated journalists and tv producers debated the merits of one of our stories tonight and decided it was frankly tasteless and beyond the pale. and then insisted i make room for it on tonight's show. it is tasteless and on the peal. it's coming upright at the end of the show with a little advanced regret on my part. still, it's coming. senator tom coburn said he ♪

we should have seen it coming this summer. we should have seen it coming when senator tom 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, was too nice for the veterans. he complained to the local press in oklahoma, they're building a taj mahal. and so, oklahoma's veterans have their home senator to thank for blocking a new health care facility for veterans because he thought it was too nice for them. we should have seen it coming. when senator tom coburn took to the floor to of the senate to block a veterans bill to stop veteran suicide, it passed the house, its is 100% bipartisan. when senator coburn went to the floor saying he didn't care how much this thing had, he was going to 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 the veterans don't get the enhanced suicide prevention measures that 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 in the past with the demons that these young men and women have. when every veteran, regardless

of how he looks, 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 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 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 today about how much his heart breaks on people committing suicide and how much veterans need more support and something about the french and his grandpa and the relief of death in his own failure as he goes on and on about his own failures and then he cried a little bit, got choked up and then personally blocked the best practices bill that the veterans group 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 will ever do in the united states senate. a speech about the demons and

his own failures, and him blocking the veteran suicide bill while talking about himself. they're going to pass this thing next year when tom coburn is gone. they're going to pass it in the house unanimously again, and in the senate unanimously again because tom coburn will be gone. once he is gone, they will pass this thing and it will become law. but this is what tom coburn will be remembered for forever. 22 veterans a day, senator. sleep well.anythi ng so soft! charmin! take a closer look at charmin ultra soft and you'll love what you see. not only can you use less, but you can actually see the softness in our comfort cushions. plus charmin ultra soft is so much more absorbent you can use up to four times less. what are you boys looking at? my main squeeze. rotorooter approved. charmin is clog-free or it's free.

there's been these two terrible and dramatic standoffs in today's news. one national one international. the international was the sydney, australia, situation. a gunman took hostage 17 employees and customers, held them for more than 16 hours. the man put up a black islamic banner of some kind in the window of the cafe. but he does not seem to have been tied to any known terrorist groups. as an individual, he had lots of legal trouble. he was out on bail on un-related but serious legal charges. that hostage standoff ended with the hostage taker and two of his hostages killed. four other people were wounded. that siege was a terrible

overnight ordeal that brought out a huge police presence in sydney, australia. that one is over. the gunman in that case is killed. that one is resolved. that's the international one. the domestic standoff is already significantly more lethal and, at this hour, not resolved. suspect is still on the loose. this is the one going on in pennsylvania. it started with a series of shootings. tonight, the man hunt in this case was extended from montgomery county to bucks county, pennsylvania. authorities say they are searching for this man, 35-year-old bradly stone. he's from pensburg, 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. so six all together. five of the members have been reported to be of his ex-wife's family. the district attorney says the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous. and advised residents of pensburg, pennsylvania, where the man lives, to keep their doors locked.

this is an unresolved situation at this point. six people dead already. it seems to be rooted in a domestic complex. the man suspecteded of killing those people is still at large. stay with us at msnbc. we'll keep you posted as we learn more. once there was a girl

who snooze-buttoned her morning run away... one cap of downy created such irresistibly soft sheets,

she wanted to stay in bed forever. downy. surround yourself with three times the softening. the gurney. witnesses at the time testified that the man was, quote, trying to get up. we had him strapped down. he was, quote, arching his back. he tried to get up. we knew the night it happened in april, that the excuse had gone wrong somehow. in the 43 minutes it took the oklahoma prisoner to die, he writhed and called out and gasped, when he was supposed to be unconscious. him not dying, the state officials pulled the curtains so the witnesses couldn't see what happen was happening.

then, they know they attempted to call off the execution. they attempted to stop killing him after he started. the govern ears office told the prison to stop killing the person who was writhing on the gurney and is not dying. we knew this from what witnesses said about that night in april. what they had been able to see before that curtain was pulled down. over the weekend, a new court filing told us things we did not know before about that case. and the new court papers. the warden describes the scene as a, quote, bloody mess. we know they made more than a dozen acements to set an i.v. line. the doctor called in, said someone asked me about putting in another line, i wouldn't attempt it. i couldn't. i wasn't going to attempt to. the doctor did anyway, tried to put the i.v. in again. to the prisoner's groin. i remember that the doctor went over there to this, it would be

the left graoin. and i don't know where the needle got at. and blood came out of the back of it. the doctor said he had to, quote, get enough money out of this to buy a new jacket. court filing shed some light on what happened after the execution was at least temporarily called off. the doctor said he told the staff on site that the prisoner would have to be taken to the emergency room. but somebody said that was not possible. the doctor said he could have started cpr and life support, but he did not. the paramedic there was asked why the measures didn't happen. because the purpose of being there was to provide an execution. and we 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 they had another guy standing by that was going to be killed just hours or even minutes later. when they decided they were going to do a doubleheader execution in april, the

department of corrections had decided for that night, they would hunt around on the internet to find a drug combination that they thought would work to kill those two men. according to the new court filing the person who came up with this formula found it, quote, on wikileaks or whatever it is. in october, oklahoma called off another scheduled execution, in part because they were trying to get ahold of drugs or some combination of drugs, with which they could kill more prisoners. now, the state says the next execution will happen on january 15th. the man who is scheduled to die, he's the guy who was scheduled to go second that night back in april. he was scheduled to go second the night that the man tried to get up off the gurney and they tried to stop killing him. and it was a bloody mess and all the rest. they called off the second planned execution after the first one went so wrong. but now, that man who was

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 on. whatever they find on, you know, wikileaks or whatever. amazing, new information in that oklahoma case. joining us is the enterprise editor for "tulsa world." they've been digging into this execution for months now. thanks for being here. >> it's good to be here. >> 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? >> well, i think i was surprised the hear the warden say that the affidavit she signed saying she would follow the department of corrections policies, that she controlled this whole process, that she said, in her words, she just signed it.

he didn't have anything really to do with choosing the drugs, nor did the department of corrections director. it appeared that attorneys were in charge of choosing which drugs to execute clayton lockett with, which is not what we were led to believe. >> and the thing about wikileaks, what they seem to be explaining, they went online and looked around to see what publicly available information might be out there on how you might kill people with available drugs. and these weren't doctors that were making these decision? >> this was a state's first use of a drug that had been problematic in another execution. there were questions about whether it would work. the department of corrections general counsel at the time, mr. oakley said he did some research online to figure out how long it would take for it to kill someone. could it sedate someone? that's what it needed to do. he went online and looked at wikileaks or whatever, was the

quote. the department of corrections director said the attorney general's office participated in the process to choose the drug. the attorney general's office told me they deny that. they were only in advisory role. these are not -- these facts are in dispute. however, they came from transcripts of interviews of these officials. >> and the alternate story was the protocol was all designed and implemented by the warden of the prison, who is on regard saying, i signed it but didn't have anything to do with it. the thing that is remarkable here, the execution was a remarkable thing. you were there. you were one of the people who was shut out from witnessing it once the curtain was pulled. the state of oklahoma has investigated this and put out their version of what they say happened. their version of the investigation. this seems like a botched execution. but whatever the state did to investigate it and describe what happened, sort of has to be called into question here as to whether or not that was a

cover-up. >> so, my partner and i investigated this. determined that the report the state put out, downplayed significant angles of the story. according to the transcripts there, it was described as a bloody scene. the paramedic said the whole day was, quote, a cluster. 2 doctor didn't know he would have to do an i.v. the warden and the executioners knew little about the drug and how long it would take to work. the state report lays the blame on an i.v. that didn't work. >> the state has scheduled and called off subsequent executions after that one was so botched. they are planning on doing one january 15th. do you think that significant questions have been rised 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 them into question? >> there are questions that need to be answered. there are a hearing in oklahoma city wednesday. it will cover several days of motion for preliminary junction. the death row innovates are asking the judge to stop the state from killing people until they can do it constitutionally. the state says it has training in place. has made improvements in the process. and they can execute people constitutionally. it will be up to the federal judge to determine if they're going to be allowed to go forward. >> ziva branstetter, following this case extensively. thank you for understanding the new reporting. really appreciate it. >> thank you, rachel. much more to come tonight. stay with us. gh, cough)

mike? janet? cough if you can hear me. don't even think about it. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. yeah...but what about mike? he has that dry, scratchy thing going on... guess what? (cough!) it works on his cough too. what? stop, don't pull me! spoiler alert! she doesn't make it! only mucinex dm packs 2 medicines in one pill to relieve wet and dry coughs for 12 hours. start the relief. ditch the misery.

let's end this. this is a time lapse video. watch this. this is from new york city. look at this. new york city this weekend. look at the size of this. this is a time lapse covering a period of about 90 minutes of the and you can just see the crowds pouring up sixth avenue in new york. it is about six lanes wide, the

width of your average highway. we said on friday that it looked like the anti-police brutality demonstrations were going to be big. we didn't know they were going to be this big. tens of thousands of people marched in new york city on saturday. if you saw any images over the weekend or if you went to the demonstration, what you probably remember are these oversized photographic panels showing eric garner's eyes. eric garner, a man killed by police in staten island in a chokehold. this weekend, thousands of people also marched in washington, d.c. look at the size of that crowd. they were led by reverend al sharpton's action network. and a number of families of black boys killed by police. and the families of michael

brown. tamir rice. people demonstrated in significant numbers this weekend in boston, and also in st. louis and also in pennsylvania. even in nebraska. and in dozens of other places across the country. it has been nearly two weeks since the eric garner decision, and three weeks since the grand jury decision in ferguson, missouri in the michael brown case. if this weekend is any indication, it doesn't seem like the protest movement has is anywhere near sparked its energy. thanks to angie's list, now it is. we've made hiring anyone from a handyman to a dog walker as simple as a few clicks. buy their services directly at angieslist.com no more calling around. no more hassles. start shopping from a list of top-rated providers today. angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. visit angieslist.com today.

dave, i'm sorry to interrupt... i gotta take a sick day tomorrow. dads don't take sick days, dads take nyquil. the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine. i love this story so much. okay. dream it up. and you can find it. if it is 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

to yourself, this toilet paper should glow in the dark. well, the internet has your back -- your backside, whatever. maybe your home is incomplete without a coffee table shaped giant nintendo controller that you can actually play the nintendo with. you can get that from the internet machine. your dog needs a hoodie? your dog can have a hoodie. perhaps your cat needs a hoodie. ask the internet, you can have them. maybe you love rubber ducks and you love footie pajamas. you can have them, and you can have them as an adult. turns out these are pretty popular. specifically, we have good evidence that they're popular among members of congress in texas's 27th district. the guy in the ducky pajamas is a congressman, a member of the tea party caucus.

these pictures of him in the footie ducky pajamas, these are not new. they've been around since 2010 when he was first running for office. congressman knows well the lasting power of the internet, because before he was elected to congress he was in the computer consulting industry. in that time of his life he purchased a number of internet domain names, bought them on spec, whether or not he was planning on using them. there's nothing wrong with that. i can't complain about somebody doing that. we buy domain names all the time on this show. you might remember, we own arizonahonorsbiology.com, where we posted the content that they wanted to cut out of the local biology textbooks. we also own the url, whenindoubtchickenout.com.

we own fredthompsonisinherently 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. it's hard to get around it. 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. that's and academic industry site for maritime training. it also sounds like show me.org. but it's not show me.org. that's if website for the missouri development council. his website 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, show me, throw me. 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 to his reputation. and when a story blows up like this, the first thing that blows through our newsroom is to request a comment from the congressman. and here it is. quote, before being in congress he operated a consulting company that routinely bought domain names including the one in question. 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. no intention to renew it. but he did, yeah, it's his. so there you have it. the congressman from texas does

currently own, rhymes with flow me.org. but his office says he will soon be relinquishing his rights to that name. relinquishing his rights. good morning. on "first look"man hunt. pennsylvania officials are looking for this man in connection with a cold-blooded killing of six people with family ties. a sea of flowers in outpouring of emotion following the hostage siege in sydney that ended in the deaths of two in any event people. the the russian economy is floundering. good morning i'm angie goth. we begin with breaking news. the manhunt is on for suspected murder and former marine considered armed and dangerous. right now near philadelphia, the death toll stand at six after a shooting spr
