over 300, with ed meese. and some said who is that asking the questions?ou said i have no idea. well, ed meese is an educated man who went to law school at berkeley, very close to ronald reagan before and during the reagan presidency. reagan made him attorney general but ed meese was forced to resign that office in scandal, back in the era when the words republican and attorney general almost always equalled scandal. president nixon's attorney general having been the first and only attorney general who was convicted of a crime and had to serve time for it. while ed meese was attorney general he became one of the very few and very lucky guys who got to watch a lot of porn and get paid for it. in 1984, reagan pointed the attorney general to head the attorney general's commission on pornography, which meant that for two years, ed meese got to look at gay porn, straight porn, all the porn he could possibly get his hands on, which as attorney general was a lot of porn. and after drowning in porn for two years, and getting paid for it, ed meese issued an almost

no former reagan attorney ed meese said stockman would have a good case for impeachment of high crimes and misteds against this president. we're only telling you what ed meese thinks about this because smirnoff and irrelevant '80s figures weren't available for comment. what would the president like congress to pass? jay carney was a lot more clear on that. >> there are specific legislative actions that he will continue to call on congress to take including the assault weapons ban including a measure to ban high-capacity magazine clips including an effort to close the very big loopholes in the background check system in our country. >> john: an assault weapons ban that senate majority leader harry reid said likely wouldn't pass the house. you see the president wants you to keep trying, harry. the american people do too. while you're at it, maybe congress could follow new york state's lead. because today governor andrew cuomo signed into law the toughest package of gun measures in the nation. the new law expands the state's assault weapons ban. requires background checks to buy ammunitio

edwin meese is the late toast jump on that bandwagon.e president has said many times, he believes in the second amendment, right to bear arms, and has no desire to limit the rights of responsible gun owners. but how can he do nothing and answer to the families of 20 children and 6 school staffers riddled with bullets? how can he answer the parents of slain 6-year-old ben wheeler who spoke with my colleague rachel madd ow on monday. >> just, just don't stop think being this. just keep thinking about this. keep this in your head. >> my dad would always say ben is going to do amazing things, and i always say now, i just didn't know it was going to be in his death. i thought it was going to be in his life. >> those are the people whom the president has to answer to today, tomorrow, and every day. joining us now is congressman john larson, democrat of connecticut. good afternoon, sir. >> good afternoon, martin. >> mr. larson, i have been struck by your public comments since that terrible day in december. you said, and i'm quoting you, we have

former reagan attorney general edwin meese got into the act. he joined the conservative website news max to push the big lie. >> so if the president unilaterally overrides the second amendment via executive order, would this be constitutional? would it be legal? and how should congress respond? >> well, it would not be legal. it would not be constitutional. and indeed, if he tried to override the second amendment in any way, i believe it would be an impeachable offense. >> the constant representation of this lie is intensifying. a number of people on the far right wing are preparing for civil war. >> i'm telling you that if that happens, it's going to spark a civil war, and i'll be glad to fire the first shot. >> i unfortunately believe that there are many people in this country that will want to bring on a civil war. and in that scenario, the people will lose. >> without our rights under the second amendment, removing the rest of our bill of rights would be a lot easier. >> once we lose the constitution, and we're losing it big, what is left?

[laughter] i come to this audience with a bit of trepidation. there are so many people who pay attention to these issues that i have to remain humble in these circumstances, and when i do that, i begin by telling myself the story, which is a true story, about the u.s.s. abraham lincoln and canadian authorities off the coast of newfoundland in 1995. here is how the radio communication took place. the u.s. said on the radio, "please divert your course 15 degrees t

and i specifically requested from kathleen meese and jack blum from his committee that i wanted to testify with c-span coverage, and they said, "oh, yeah, there is going to be a lot of coverage," and when i arrived there, they put me, like, number five to testify, and it was 4:30 in the afternoon and there was no television camera to cover my testimony. and at that hearing, he had to admit that he believed me -- that it wasn't true. then i later learned, because he didn't even say that the time, that they had run a lie detector test of meleone rodriguez, and it proved that two crucial questions that they asked about me, that he was lying and on the third one he decided not to continue with the lie detector test. c-span: you mean, we weren't there when you came to testify? >> guest: no, sir. c-span: no one was there, no television camera? >> guest: oh, there was a camera, but it wasn't on the air anywhere, and i specifically requested that there would be cameras in there. but i guess when he had, for so long, it is amazing the millions of dollars that he is paying of taxpayers' money in tha

those of meese countries don't have the infrastructure to build a nuclear weapons program, and the general said saudi arabia can go to pakistan and get it. what are we doing here? these two countries are allies. we have much more leverage to prevent proliferation in this region than we had with iran. to me it seems we are making the case for all these countries to go nuclear because it proves our case against iran but there is no evidence for it. >> ok. general. >> the fact that you repeat and repeat again and repeat again a lie is not making it at all. i'm speaking the number of bombs that israel has. israel declares this will not the be the first to introduce nuclear weapon to the middle east. israel is the only country that under a threat it will be wiped off the map. i don't recognize any other country in the middle east. and whenever our neighbor will make peace with us, i guess even the capabilities that we have, will not be there. so israel's behaved very responsibly. let us talk about anything besides convention isal weapons. so it's a different behavior if you compare it to the wa
