look, michael moore is wrong. white people who own guns are not afraid of freckle-faced jimmy down the block or afraid of black people. white people are afraid of moron, idiot liberals like michael moore who think they are going to have their guns taken away because they have a liberal democrat in office and in the senate. so white people buy guns and make sure they have guns, if these idiots have their way, they will take them away or stop selling them. i think his comments were racist, in themselves. that's assuming that black people commit crime. that's what he is saying -- >> why are we afraid of black people, michael moore. >> i can't understand -- i understand he made $50 million on bowling for columbine, so he's relevant with a gun issue comes up. but it is so hard to take him seriously, when he tries to be the ramshackle guy next door in a million-dollar place here in new york city and out in michigan -- >> and he has bodyguards. >> $50 million net worth, the numbers that i see -- come on. >> he has bodygu

. >>> last night filmmaker and michael moore told ed schultz he is determined to change his state's newly enacted right to work law that says private and public workers do not have to pay union fees. take a listen. >> they know people don't support what their doing. that's why they had to rush this thing through before january 1st. same reason they had voter suppression. why would you suppress the vote if you thought the majority of americans were conservative? you have to suppress the vote because you know you're in the minority. it's an admission on their part they know the american people don't like the republicans or the conservative philosophy. we're a different country now. and i think a lot of them don't have a clue about that.

michael moore is wrong.e who on the guns aren't afraid of freckle face jimmy down the block. white people who own guns aren't afraid of black people breaking in or holding them up. white people are afraid of moron liberals like michael moore who think they will get guns taken away because they have a liberal democrat in office. so they make sure they go out and buy guns if the idiots take it away. >> andrea: i think comments were racenist themselves. assuming that black people commit crime? why are we afraid of people? maybe you are a racist. >> i understand he made $50 million on "bowling for columbine" so he is relevant every time a gun issue comes up. but it's hard to take him seriously. try to be a ramshackle every guy next door, every guy but he is livin living in a mansion, $1 million place in n. and michigan. >> andrea: body guards. >> $50 million network or -- net worth or $25 million to $50 million. c'mon. >> juan: he has body guards. i don't know if they guard him or maybe his lunch. >> kimberly: i

michael moore, he's the maker of a lot of different films.guess who it was about. it was about opposing taxpayer funded incentive for businesses. so some people might find that hypocritical. >> steve: he made a documentary called "capitalism". i get the idea of tax credits for companies that create jobs. how many jobs do you think this michael moore movie created. >> brian: you see his movies really, since the bush one, have really tanked since, have not gotten the traction and he's pretty much disappeared, which i think is a good thing. >> steve: you think so? anyway, speaking of disappeared, whole bunch of michigan's money, $841,145 in taxpayer funded incentives disappeared into the making of that fine motion picture. >> gretchen: coming up, do you remember oliver twist? >> i need more. >> gretchen: some people are asking if democrats are taking the oliver approach to solving our financial problem. stuart varney here to put it in perspective. >> steve: stu. >> brian: didn't realize he was in the monitor. are you smarter than ken jennings? h

. >> it's the same thing that michael moore did when he came out and he had a film on down with capitalism. it's the same thing. >> it's not the same thing. he's basically saying that hollywood does have an influence in our culture. for example, jaws. it came out a hundred years ago when i was a little kid. now, what is there? there's a jaws ride at disneyland. it used to be such a terribly violent movie. there's an influence in our culture that these movies play out in video games and rides in disneyland. sure, if you don't want your kid to watch it, fine. your kid will be exposed to some level of violence at some point in their lifetime. >> sean: look, i don't have a problem with adult movies. i have watched them. >> what kind of adult movies, sean. >> not that one. >> sean: i stepped right in the middle of that. i don't have a problem with adult-themed movies, not the ones you're thinking about. in other words, i go to the movies, but there's certain movies -- this now comes to parenting. on the one hand they can't complain about violence in movies and its influence on the culture and b

michael moore used the shooter's name.n't shown his face here, and there's no way that you can avoid saying his name as you do all these stories right? but i want to de-emphasize him. because, one, it's not about him. and in this case, i don't know what his demons were, and we'll discuss that later in the show. for some of these guys like dli klibold, we don't seen show streakers on tv because you don't want to with regard reward them, they did it to get attention. but we do story after story about these shooters, and we make them famous. i think we got to stop doing that. i think what we need to do is focus on the victims. now, two of them are being buried today. every one of these stories rips my guts out inside. watch. >> the first of the funerals for the 26 innocent victims gunned down at sandy hook elementary school began today. noah posner was the youngest victim. just last month he celebrated his sixth bird along with his twin sister. she was in a different classroom and survived the attack. jack pinto also was laid

supreme court earlier this year. >>> angry liberal and hollywood hypocrite, that will teach him, michael moorew theory why americans love guns. moore suggests it is because, well, simply people are racist. >> not every house has a gun but we have over a quarter of a billion guns in people's heems. homes of and they're mostly in the suburbs and rural areas where there is virtually no crime, and no murder. so why is that? who is going to break into the house? freckle faced jimmy down the street? i don't think so. i don't think that is what they're afraid of. it cuts right down to the heart of our race problem. lou: you know, he is so obviously a deep guy. that intellect is working, going deep, bringing up, dredging up some remarkable little morsels that he unfurther natalie shares too often. using that standard moore himself would be a racist, surrounded by racists because he once owned a gun, has a bodgy guard who carries a gun so he cavorts and accompanied by racists and supported by racists. gets so complicated by moore. we're delighted he kpeess that side of his nature so frequently. >>> up

culture is that so much i was about to fail and was highlighting the michael moore give it really can be read with whole separate money more and more europeans are rethinking the pillars of the modern nation state there is wide agreement that the sovereignty of states must. be. more news today violence is once again flared up the full these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are today.

. >> though i disagree with michael moore on just about everything including the premise of his movie, on that point, i do agree and i think we have this conversation about the culture and his whole point in this was to say, well, if we're going to blame marilyn manson who the shooters liked, why not blame bowling. they did that that morning, as well. every time this happens we try to grapple with what we can do, how to make sense of it and we go to the culture and every time we just don't come up with satisfying answers so i understand the impulse but i just want to remind people that it's not a new debate about violence in our culture. we have it often and usually we come up empty. >> well, and there is a tendency i think for everybody to apply their pet, pet issue to what the problem is here and mike huckabee saying it's taking god out of the schools and people want to see it through the lens but i want to say i'm glad that we are having what feels like a big conversation about important issues that have been overlooked a lot. mental health. gun control. it's -- i'm glad we're havi
