jeffrey and mike are with us once again. first one say question about marketing your business. >> since i purchased this franchise i've been bombarded from numerous companies promoting their marketing services. how do you pick a good marketing company? >> the first question is, do you pick a marking company and then how. >> yeah, i think you can and you should. you ask for referrals. give me three referrals. i'll give you your three best. your oldest client, your newest clients and someone that decide not to proceed with you. that way you'll understand why someone sticks with them. why someone died decided to go with them and why someone decided not to. >> maybe you should go to the franchise network and ask those and then the other franchise owners because they utilize the similar kinds of services that to use that network you should go there first. >> great idea. and i started this, again, saying do you need one? oftentimes, do you have a budget for this? and can they do it better than you can do it yourself? i think that'

jeffrey, let me lay my cards on the table off the top here. i watched that press conference or that statement with mounting horror and anger, but i was also aware that a lot of people in america would have watched it and said he's right. >> yeah, people will say that the answer to every escalating sort of violent act in america is the ability to use more violence to counter that. and it never stops. so you're going to give a security guard a regular gun against someone who has an assault weapon. so when the assault weapon overpowers the regular gun, you give the security guard in the school an assault weapon, where does this end? it doesn't end. that was the most irresponsible and i think hurtful response to an american tragedy that i have heard. and he should be ashamed of himself to come and tell the american people i'm not going to do anything reasonable, not one thing. i don't care if it's 100 kids killed, i would have said the exact same thing. let's get more people with guns and surround our kids. we have to as a nation examine our souls

jeffrey brown has more. >> brown: the highly critical report came three months after the deadly september 11th attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya, that left ambassador chris stevens and three other americans dead. former ambassador thomas pickering and admiral mike mullen, a former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff chaired the outside accountability review board. they spoke at the state department. >> frankly, the state department had not given benghazi the security, both physical and personnel resources, it needed. >> certain state department bureau level senior officials in critical positions of authority and responsibility in washington demonstrated a lack of leadership and management >> brown: overall, the report found that systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies resulted in a security posture that was inadequate for benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place. earlier, mullen and pickering

reporter: police identified the man shot and killed inside his apartment in the white oak section of jeffrey campos. this woman who didn't want to be identified lives in the building. >> it's terrifying. that's all i can say, it's terrifying. it's just something that i'm not used to. and it's a young person. just a difficult situation. i feel really bad. >> reporter: police tell me the victim may have been targeted by the gunman, there may have been a relationship between them but they're not saying what the motive was. they first encountered the roommate outside. >> the roommate was accosted outside by two suspects. they forced him to allow them to enter, once inside they shot and killed mr. campos and fled. >> reporter: a woman was in the

according to jeffrey white a former analyst for the defense intelligence agency, they are now turning the tide against the assad regime. >> they are very good. they give the rebels a combat edge. they are quite willing to dichlt they fight on all key fronts. they're involved in many of the key actions. >> these are not people we want to win. >> but the rebels making inroads on damascus itself, monitoring of syrian bases like this where chemical weapons are stored has detected evidence the assad regime may be preparing to use them in a last ditch attempt to save itself, an act the obama administration has warned could trigger military intervention. >> worst-case scenarios are threatening to become reality. >> it's to the going to be a clean outcome. in the best of circumstances. now it will be chaotic and messy. >> the u.s. is helping to organize the opposition's military command and later this week is expected to officially recognize its political leadership. what impact that has on the outcome of the civil war remains to be seen. >> david martin, thank you. in egypt the concession of

jeffrey sachs. if we do, should we? >> more of the same because we're not going to solve anything, even if there's a deal today, we're going to see exactly that same tape replayed in two months, four months, six months. so i think there will be some kind of deal today, tomorrow, but it won't solve any of the basic issues. >> so a doomsday deadline would not have worked in this case? it will be the same thing. >> yes, because either side's not really talking about the basics to get to the real resolution of this. >> and in washington, we have political editor and white house correspondent for the huffington post, sam stein. sam, your prognostication. >> i thought we were talking about kim and kanye. i think we'll get something done. i'm not sure, though. >> talk about a hedge. >> let me tell you, that was the most articulate assessment i've heard so far. >> i want to hedge my bets a little bit here. >> bold. bold. >> yes. >> bold prediction. >> okay. before i get to -- msnbc political analyst and former chairman of the r

jeffrey lieberman, a researcher in the trial, and he said the claims of superiority were greatly exaggerated, of the new drug. the aggressive marketing of these drugs may have contributed to this enhance perception of effectiveness in the absence of information. so apparently they haven't done their test to show this new drug was an improvement over what existed. there is very little research in this country of com parityive effectiveness. and that is looking at a new drug, comparing it in what we call a head-to-head trial to see whether the drug offers an improvement. when the fda aproves a drug for marketing, a new drug, what the manufacturer has to establish is that the new drug is better than nothing. >> are we talking about wikperdol? >> that's one of the drugs. this is a whole category but that's the one in the study. if you found this is true, the newer drug will claim it's an improvement or suggested an improvement, plus the impact of the advertising programs and the solicitation of doctors fro

charles bronfman and jeffrey so solomon are the co-authors of "the art of doing good."ho is the primary audience for this book? >> this one is for everybody because what we've done is highlight 18 social entrepreneurs who started with nothing, and to show all the problems that they went through and how they made it and in one or two bases didn't quite make it. >> it's a great way to look at it. 18 social entrepreneurs you want to offer a game plan for launching effective non-profits. what's social entrepreneur? tell me the way the skills can be useford doing good? >> the dynamics are the same except there aren't capital markets for the social entrepreneur. there isn't the financial potential, bottom line, for the social entrepreneur but the social entrepreneur is driven by th same passion of an idea of how do we make the world better in a more effective way. so one young man jordan who we feature was in optetry school in south africa and put glasses on a 7-year-old nearly blind and saw his life change and he decided he's going to become the lenscrafters for the third wo

that's the most likely scenario. >> i rarely agree with jeffrey, but a agree there. to be sitting at this table in a couple months having this exact same discussion. >> whereas had we done the big deal seven weeks following the election, i believe the economy would have exploded. >> mary thompson, would wall street have exploded if we had a big deal? that would have been good news. >> if we had a big deal, that would definitely provide a catalyst for wall street. in large part, remember, the thing about the markets is they don't like uncertainty. >> right. >> once you clear up the uncertainty, there is a clear path, and that, a number of people say, could really send the markets off to the races. the u.s. economy, the fundamentals are there, and that's frustrating business owners, because they think they're in a good position, but what they need is clarity from washington. >> so, basically, washington has completely let us down. >> not just washington. >> well, who else? >> i think the business community, the leaders of fortune 500 companies have been not entirely st

jeffrey, you covered this region extensively and have for years. you heard what the president has said and what richard has said. why this red line? something the united states never did in iraq, for instance, when hussein used chemical weapons, but we're doing it here. big shift maybe? >> well, only if you believe that it's really a red line. syrian opposition is probably correct to doubt whether the administration would do something if they use chemical weapons on their people. after all, they have been killing thousands of people every month, the assad government, using regular old conventional weapons. so it's not entirely clear to me that this would trigger an automatic response. there is no real obama doctrine here except for passivity, i'm afraid to say. >> helene, if we do get assad out, the united states, other allies, what then? >> well, that's the big -- that's part of the reason why the obama administration has done in the views of many so little toward getting president assad out, and that's because they are just really afraid. syria l

and, jeffrey, i heard you say earlier that for 100 years that meant state militia. >> right. it meant that state militias that basically what became state police, they have the right to bear arms, but as of 2008, the united states supreme courts said no, it is individuals, basically the second clause now trumps the first clause instead of the first clause trumping the second clause, and so now the supreme court said there is an individual right to keep and bear arms. now, how far that right extends is not clear. the court has not really elaborated on that yet. in addition to political obstacles to gun control, there are no legal obstacles to gun control and we have to see how those play into this as well. >> wolf blitzer, that is not lost on our lawmakers right now. there are legal restrictions and confines through which they need to operate. >> they need to work through this and at some point the supreme court probably will get back involved if there is more legislation, new legislation, how far does it go? does it withstand the language of the second amendment to the u.s. c
