maniac did not want to move over. maniac did not want to move over. the associate shoved him over and 10 seconds later, a gun was shot and the bullet came into the car, pierced the associate to the neck and killed him instantly. maniac said, if he had not shoved me aside i would be dead. i am done. that was his turning point. call it a turning point, called the teachable moment. use whatever terminology that you want. that is where we need to be present. when i say we, i mean, we. at that turning point, at that moment of truth, that teachable moment, it is imperative that resources be brought to bear. now, what are the two most impressive resources that are brought to bear at that moment. there are two major forces that helped gang members change.

if you act like a maniac, they are going to act like a maniac. pails yourself. you are going to reach a point where you had enough. take some time out, take the whole group, have a seat away from whatever you are doing and just take a break. that was part of the things they found in oklahoma, they blew that thing up and all the disaster service people were sitting there taking a break, you know, they worked 12 hour shifts, 12 on, 12 off, but their break area was right across the street. the whole time they were taking a break, they were sitting there thinking they ought to be helping. so were they really getting a break in no. do something else. think about something else. pace yourself. emphasize teamwork, make sure everybody on the team is aware of the plan and if you are helping somebody, make sure they are aware of the plan. that's important. because some people just, what are you doing, why are you guys here? explain it to them. take a minute and explain it to them and they will help you, usually. it makes your job easier. rotate personnel as needed. people

that, the second amendment will protect you on that but you need to separate yourself from these maniacs who are running around with automatic weapons and walking into theaters and into schools. you need to have a certain self-respect and say, look, my gun rights, my gun engagement, if you will, is completely different from these maniacs. and as a result, we need to say to these folks, you can be on the side of sensible gun control and still not only protect your guns but also protect the culture that you regard highly. it's doable. bernie sanders has done it. you can be a progressive and speak to these communities but you have to speak to them with are respect. >> what does it say when a senator like joe manchin of west virginia comes out and takes a stand for an assault weapons ban in a state that traditionally is very protective of firearms? >> it's monumental. west virginia is the state which really was the symbol of al gore's troubles in 2000 on the gun rights issue. and remember that joe manchin when he was running for this u.s. senate seat cut an ad in which he was shooting at a t

but you need to separate yourself from these maniacs who are running around with automatic weapons andking into theaters and into schools. you need to have a certain self respect and say, look, my gun rights, my gun engagement, if you will, is completely different there these maniacs. as a result, we need to say to these folks you can be on the side of sensible gun control and still not only protect your guns but also protect the culture that you regard highly. you can be a progressive and speak to these communities. >>> west virginia is the state that was really the symbol. and remember, joe manchin, when he was running for this u.s. senate seat, cut an ad in which he was shooting at a target. the bottom line is that him taking this stand is good evidence of just how much this issue has begun to shift and the potential that president obama has to talk about it to rural americans. >> all right, john nichols, great to have you with us tonight, john. there's a lot more coming up in the next half hour of "the ed show" stay with us. >> the principal lunging, trying to protect. chris, i wis

this was a maniac in a state that had a lot of gun control in a gun-free zone that ignored every law there was and murdered all those poor little children. >> do you want any more form of gun control in this country? you're quite happy with where things are? >> oh, absolutely. crime has been falling in america. in fact, since the assault weapon ban that was put in place years ago by senator feinstein, even when after that expired, our crime rates continued to go down in america. the violent crime rate is down. the assault weapon ban didn't do -- >> how many people get killed with guns, get murdered with guns a year in your country? do you know? >> well, most of it is either suicides or criminal-on-criminal shootings. >> that wasn't what i asked you. wait a minute. >> somewhere 20,000 -- >> i didn't ask you about suicides. i asked you how many people were murdered with guns in america on average in the last two or three years. do you know that figure? >> i don't because the fbi clumps it together with suicides. >> they don't, actually. it's very easy to find. it's about 11,000 to 12,0

negligence intent and crazed maniac are different. different root causes underneath each of them. but to come back to -- since this is tv and time is short what changes would you make in the legal framework we've got in terms of access to guns understanding access issues relate to each of these three different categories you've created in a different way. what changes would you make in terms of access? background checks, safety mechanisms, what would you do differently? >> you know, the problem really is in sitting down and focusing exactly as you suggested in many ways as president obama suggests, let's put everything on the table. if we just look narrowly, we're going to come up with some answers that don't fit the reality of the world. we really need to look at this problem both as a criminology problem, a psychological problem and that's what it is. let's take the gun show issue. we propose at the independent firearm owners, legislation we call the gun show preservation and protection act. there's nothing wrong with gun shows. the problem although it is actually relatively sma

the difference here is that the maniac had a gun and 26 people are dead. in china, he had a knife. 22 children were wounded but they're all going to be okay. it is our fault if we continue to let this insanity reign in this country. we know what to do about it. we have death by gun rates 15, 20 times more than any industrialized country. we know why. we have to stop this. >> ezra, there's a new "chicago trib" editorial out today by dick durbin talking about what will it take. what holds us back are political organizations that are well funded and continue to resist reasonable limitations. there is a parallel between the gridlock in washington and the erie silence in congress as the list of horrific gun crimes grows by the day. an obvious reference there to the nra. there were no supported senators of the nra that would go on "meet the press" this weekend. the nra has been oddly mum in this, telling nbc news they want to wait to remark on this until more facts come to light. but as you pointed out in a recent editorial yourself, as we look back on the assau

think that psychedelics will permanently rot your brain in a magic mushrooms will turn you into a maniac that everything you know is wrong joining me now is at the pharmacologist dennis mccann it was study plan elucidations for over four decades he's also the author of the new book the brotherhood of the screaming abyss my life with terence mckenna dennis welcome. thank you sir pleasure to be here it's great to have you with us did i read about you in true hallucinations i read the book more than a decade ago yes i was it was the star of true elucidations in a sense i mean that was terence's book it was there his narrative of our adventures of the amazon and my eight hundred seventy one in search of the you know exotic indigenous hallucinogens so yes you that's where you that was where you heard my story and tell now and now i've told my side of the story in this new book that's that's that's marvelous and i also i loved food of the gods your brother's book i'm looking forward to reading yours to what extent as a society are we being stupid by not only ignoring the potential benefits of

they're really the genocidal maniacs and of course told us over trading higher on the speaking of suicide bankers especially ones that have had a little bit too much hand sanitizer lives we done in the table set for booming four percent growth and two hundred thousand new jobs per month we were so he's projecting four percent growth just like mark carney said we're going to target nominal g.d.p. instead that's the number we're going to look whatever we can make it up and there's going to be booming growth he says the table is set the consumer is ready housing is turning for personal growth will be based on rising prices due to clergy debasement housing is booming because hedge funds of made to trade do your best known the bubble stage and it'll pop up again business insider is a known charlatan shyster that pushes on tons of nonsense out there because there are typical reader is braindead like marconi so he's also asked about the perceptions of wall street how negative they are and the only thing he has three spahn do is well two former governors are illinois are in jail so we could be wo

life he's living is not what he wanted to live and i mean he goes on a homicide or sort of like a maniac all sort of you know killing spree but i didn't do that obviously i worked at a newspaper for seven years and won a national newspapers in london and after a while it's easy to become disillusioned with the work you're doing often because i felt that we were focusing on stories that didn't really tell the full story on planet especially earth. so the full story or don't really matter they matter sometimes but i think if you believe if you watch the news if you were to believe it you'd think the whole world was in conflict with ross news i've been working news for my whole life news has nothing to do with real life actually news is something that does that but every day you know that's the real life is the news is quite different exactly where i was a news photographer and i just felt that i was covering stories that were pushing rather a negative view of the world and i decided to just quit it all and take off with just my camera in iraq sack and ironically what i'm doing now is the c

mutually assured destruction just doesn't work that well with suicidal maniacs, so we need to find another to keep our six-year-olds safe in their classrooms. this is about good and bad guys. and president the said he was appointing joe biden to assessable a task force. >> hopefully there will be some new ideas. their task is going to be to, you know, sift through every good idea that is out there, and even take a look at some bad ideas before disposing of them. >> jennifer: hopefully in the end disposing of them. john boehner was called to bring an end to high-ammunition magazines to a vote by saturday. great idea. and there are more good ideas coming from the state level. in california there is a bill tightening california's ammunitions restrictions. but even as those good ideas take shape there are a lot of bad ideas lurking around the corner. take virginia governor's plan to arm teachers. really think about it. teachers with guns in charge of five years olds. >> school administrators should have guns under lock and key, if that principal could have been able to have a gun, and step in

it's the good the bad of the very very hot ho maniacally ugly good florida democratic state legislators take that rick scott to a democratic state senators in the sunshine state of interviews two bills that would reinstitute the fourteen days of early voting in florida governor scott had reduced to only eight days both bills could also increase the number of voting hours on each early voting day and fortunately republicans control both chambers of the state legislature but incoming republican leaders have suggested that they might be amenable changing voting laws in florida let's hope that's the case so that every every floridian who has the right to vote is able to win upcoming election the bat michigan governor rick snyder despite the system for months that he would not support a right to work for less law in his state senators doing just that today snyder called on the michigan legislature to introduce and as a right to work for less bill and so that he would sign it as soon as it reaches his desk and it was one of several republican governors who led an all out assault on workers' r

psychedelics to hundreds of unsuspecting americans used as nothing more than guinea pigs for their maniacal pursuits many of which were mental patients prisoners and drug addicts and in one extreme circumstance and mental patient in kentucky was dosed continuously with l.s.d. for one hundred seventy four days straight but the cia was also dosing each other as well as military officers resulting in many subjects going mad in one instance an agent committed suicide can you imagine mad men style cia goons tripping balls on l.s.d. the cia pioneered the l.s.d. revolution before hippies even existed and all these crazy experiments continued until nine hundred sixty four with the resignation of cia director allen dulles. and eventually expose m.k. ultra and operation midnight climax with some declassified documents but it was all for none because the experiments were deemed useless they never found a truth serum and they still can't control our minds yet but they sure as hell did ruin hundreds if not thousands of lives in the process and we now know about all of these documents today and. thank yo

this is what you're going to say i mean to say just because he had a gun doesn't mean the becomes a maniac i mean he could have he could have choked or he could have stabbed her he could have shot her with a crossbow yes but he didn't spend so much easier it's like that rather than you know having to actually feel the life go out of somebody or have you know somebody that looks easier than you think. you know what i've seen people shot i've never seen anybody hold the other way but i think what class is was trying to do in the same thing with the law they were trying to sort of set the table for this sort of movement to have responsible gun ownership and then responsive and ownership is sort of next step that slippery slope that race to the bottom that brings us going like one of us none of us can do ours. i mean why is that we very rational say you know the right of a car but road is a cost issue of protection right it's right there in the constitution that one of the enumerated powers of congress is to raise taxes and spend money for public roads short so the public can use them there's

it's trying to portray them as kind of like sex maniacs and secretly -- secretly sex obsessed underneathtraight laced exterior, and i don't see what purpose that makes. young people are all sex obsessed no matter what. it seems like it was mean spirited. >> how have they harmed us? what have they done to us? they live quietly. they deserve a better show than that one. >> best survivor, the kardashians. still hanging around, still getting attention, and with kim taking up with kanye west, still finding ways to dazzle the star gazers. >> i know. kim k. and kanye? what? i have a secret addiction to watching the kardashians, so, you know, i'm letting all my business hang out in this end of year review show. >> i don't want to say anything bad about them because i often find myself sitting near them in restaurants in beverly hills, so i'm not going to say anything bad about them. let's just say i don't understand them. >> worst loss, whitney houston's untimely death at the age of 48. >> i was disappointed, but i wasn't necessarily surprised. >> best comeback from the edge of calamity, lindsay

but the fact of the matter is, there was a maniac on friday who attacked an elementary school in china with a knife, not a gun. 22 children were injured. nobody died. we have 9,000, 1,146 murders with guns in the united states or deaths in the united states a couple years ago. germany had 158. canada 173. the united states has 15 times more than anybody else on a populpo population basis. there is one reason and one reason only, insane attitude towards guns. the nra should stop, they won't. we should stop them from being enablers of mass murder. >> being the national rifle association. congressman, thanks very much for your perspective. >> thank you. >> jerriey edjerry. >>> former chief economist at the u.s. sentencing commission and author of the third edition of the book "more guns, less crimes." thank you very much for coming in. i'll give you a chance to respond. the united states has a lot more murders, you just heard from congressman nadler. he said it's because there are so many guns that are so easiil available out there. >> well, you look at the murder rates in the other count

cab driver is driving like a maniac. what do you do?since i live here, my first t tact is to say, sir, i'm not in a rush at all. it tends to work. if that doesn't work the best idea is to call the cab driver to pull over, get out. you can't stiff them their fare. you have an option of not paying a tip and also to report them using their medallion number. >> taxi drivers presume you want to get as fast as you can go. >> exactly. >> i don't like to send stuff back unless it's really bad, unless i can't drink it. >> they're there to make sure you're happy and recommend that restaurant to your friends and you come back. bottle of wine is the least of their problems. if you don't like it, they're not going to be happy and you're not going to be happy. send it back. this column we do in the magazine called trip doctor and they said go ahead, send it back. the only thing is, don't drink half of it before you send it back. that's badd etiquette. >> that is bad form. back to the airplane, there is a kid kicking your seat. >> you have kids. how d

back to my methods to the madness of the craziest and most entertaining show, even though i'm a maniacal crazy man, even if i do say myself. all of the tricks that made me a pretty darn good money manager. trying to enlighten you what is behind the scenes and try to make you the most money. today, transcending the usual model, though. i want to teach to you do what i do so you can do it yourself. so far, let's look at the interesting methods to pick stocks. a way to trade them now. we were doing investing, now trading. discipline incredibly useful, and this is the thing i get the most about @jimcramer, trading around a core position. i'm all about trading, don't have advice for regular investors, entirely untrue. this show is mostly about long-term investing. get dividends, can't do that in short term. to put whatever humility i have left, i was a darn good trader. now i can only trade for the charitable trust, really longer term. much different from my hedge fund and i can't short sell or use options and those are two weapons i advocate you use. be careful, not for beginners, and if you

to other pieces of evidence that could kind of put together pieces of what was going on in this maniacald? >> well, al, in some ways, this is a copy cat crime. if you and i think of this week that took place in a portland, oregon mall, if we think of it as a shooting that took place in aurora, each time, individuals are wearing black, multiple magazines. the sihooter in 2007 carried tw handguns. these individuals, number one, in some cases, are dressing like they're some type of a combat character or something. but they're going to combat against totally defenseless people. al, you know, this takes us back to september, 2004 in russia when, as you remember, terrorists went in and took over a school. 385 children skilled, 785 wounded. but what's important, as you just said, too, that this individual killed his mother at her home and then went to the school and then allegedly killed children that were in the classroom that she taught. al, this is someone who not only wiped out his mother which is a tremendous taboo for any society. but then he went to the school, i believe, al, he went to

e-ticket for maniacs. time we open up our eyes and say let the schools accept the idea of a shield. if they don't want the shield, the parents can decide what schools they can go to. every parent will want a school protected. >> bob: you think he should have mentioned mental health or anything else? >> greg: he did. it was a very long speech. he went in the culture and the -- >> bob: i read it. >> greg: i watched it. mental health and video games which i kind of disagree with. the primary focus is how do you protect the kids and deal with this with facts rather than emotion. >> kimberly: rather get on an airplane with an air marshall than doesn't. >> greg: we should protect children the way we protect a child like piers morgan. surrounded by guns. >> dana: i don't have anything to say. >> eric: look at this, then. take full screen. the top killers in the united states. most recent data we could find. smoking, 443,000. medical errors. 195,000. these are per year. accidents, 118,000. gun murders. 11,000. so, that means before we start pulling banning guns, been a doctors, been a cars,
