'canes gross! >> greg: once you equate animals to humanity you lose out in the industry. in food and land. >> kimberly: what were you reading? >> eric: where have you been? >> greg: i happen to be at a cafe with jasper that made me ill. >> dana: in la jolla, california, seal cove. they all go down there a you have to protect those. and there is all the different government agencies. nobody can get to clean the rocks. the bird poop. so some tourists don't want to have to smell it. >> kimberly: do you blame them? they have to clean it up. it's super smelly. birds in the area pooping. >> kimberly: but they don't go properly clean it. >> eric: they won't allow the businesses and private ownership to go and clean it on their own terms. >> greg: a question for bob. if lion's share of fracking were in blue states would federal government shut it down in >> bob: most of it is in blue states. >> dana: dakota went blue. >> eric: a lot went blue. >> dana: we could do

student asked about the justice's comparisons between anti-sodomy laws and laws against murder and bestiality. scalia replied i don't think it's necessary, but i think it's effective. it's a form of argument that i thought you would have known. >>> i'm page hopkins. we're following that breaking news story out of portland, oregon. a masked gunman entered a mall. right now we're hearing from the clackamas county sheriff's office. two are believed dead. let's take a listen. >> the shooter is still alive. >> the shooter has been neutralized. i don't have the exact information on that. i will give it to you as soon as i have it. >> do you have any officers inside and out estimate? >> i don't have an exact count. but there is probably -- there is county, multiple cities, state, federal law enforcement. so dozens and dozens and dozens of officers at the scene. >> can you confirm what the shooter was wearing? we heard he had on a mask. >> i have no details to release about the shooter at this time. >> are we talking about more than one person dead? >> we believe there is at least one deceased and ma

you found the bestiality of capitalism unacceptable, that it infiltrated our lives, and know and try to stop it, and then you made your decision, to become the fear, the death, the memory, the slope of our ruin the lives. >> 46 days after killing the unarmed african-american teenager trayvon martin, george zimmerman had been detained and charged with second-degree murder in florida. >> let me emphasize we do not prosecute by public pressure or petition. we prosecute based on the facts of any given case as well as the laws of the state of florida. >> in a national broadcast exclusive we are joined by and as a whistleblower william bennett. >> after 9/11, all of the raps came off for nsa, and between the white house, nsa, cia, decided to eliminate the protections of u.s. citizens and collect domestically. they started collecting from commercial -- the one commercial company that i know of that participated, provided over -- on average, 320 million records of communication of u.s. citizen to another citizen into the country. >> we are going to interrupt the broadcast because right now w

. >> if i could interrupt, the agent had bestial service in the secret service. it made this assignment interesting. >> his job was to protect president kennedy from electronic surveillance.

comments recently by justice scalia, comparing anti-sodomy laws and the laws against murder and bestialityhere's what he said. i don't think it's necessary but i think it's effective. it's a form of argument that i thought you would have known, which is called the reduction to the absurd. if we cannot have moral feelings against homosexuality, can we have it against murder, can we have it against other things. do you agree with the idea that as more states continue to accept gay marriage and public opinion moves gay marriage, it will move the supreme court? >> well, it is. it's not gay marriage, it's just marriage. so we're talking about the freedom to marry with people who they love. so that's scalia being scalia. he also doesn't see the constitution as a living document. jefferson made a comment about that, if it's ill-fitting, if a coat is ill-fitting, you adjust it or tailor it. founder of my party, abraham lincoln, amended the constitution for emancipation purposes to free the slaves. when we're talking about an issue like marriage, then there is certainly room for shift or for growth
