smith double murder trial continues in minnesota. prosecutors call it premeditated murder. he shot and killed the two teens who broke into his home in self-defense. mikest from our chicago bureau right now. what have we learned the evidence presented yesterday? >> some of the evidence includes six hours of video surveillance byron smith set up himself. portions of that are being played for the jury, but on the tape smith talked himself quite a bit. you can hear him rehearsing his first meeting with lawyers, and he does that before the shooting. you can hear him refer to the home invaders as "vermin," less than human. he felt he was cleaning up a mess worse than vomit. he felt he was doing his civic duty. the audio records the shots being fired. they can be heard screaming and groaning after they are shot. a point after the girl is shot when smith's rifle jams. he is heard saying sorry about that before he switches weapons and fires again, jenna. jenna: what does it look like his defense strategy is? that he was defending himself after he had already shot the intruders once? >> well, his home had been robbed before. he said among the items stolen befor

smith & wesson. those stocks have been hot the last couple of years. let's bring in brian raffon, his firm a institutional top 20. it's a politically charged topic. i worked for mike lee, we did on set, a good guy going after the gun industry a bit. does that change your views on investing at all? >> no, i don't think so. the mac row, certainly the president with some of his nefarious activities, with the irs and the nsa hacking phones, i mean, there's enough between that and mike bloomberg, enough to fill ten tom clancy novels, so that type of thing i think provides an overall macro on the market relative to that. again, as i said, the confiscation of 400 million guns, the largest arsenal on the planet. if you took the combined military and police units of every nation on the plant, you've got about 227 million guns. the u.s. consumer has about our estimates about 360 to 400 million guns. i've seen estimates as high as 600 million adding 15 million to 20 million guns a year. >> okay. >> i don't see that. there's nothing to that. >> fine, fine. >> whenever you talk about guns and investing, it can be unsavory in certain situations and it becomes politicized. let's

buy ron smith accused of murder after gunning down two teenagers after the pair broke into his home on thanksgiving day. what happens today in court, miker: the jury will begin deciding is this a case after man defending his home or a coldblooded revenge killing. the compelling evidence, audio surveillance that smith set up himself shows there were times -- there was time between the individual shooting. smith stood over one of the dying burglars and said you are dying instead of summoning help. he delivered what he described as a good, clean finishing shot. the number of shots, 9 of them in total. and the time line, the fact that he waited until the next day before police were summoned. closing arguments this morning, then the jury gets the case. martha: brand-new polls showing democrats could be likely to lose seats in the 2014 mid-terms. this is from "washington post" abc news poll that came out today. president obama's job approval has slipped to a new low. it's down to 41%. the president losing grounden several key issues. 34% say that he's doing a good job with the ukraine down from 46%. healthcare, 37%, 57% before, the economy 42

the marine corps is on for smith foundation has been based to people -- three people, one by the name mr. ricci and jihads and dave gibbons and dan mike $5 million in a unique way. they gave $30,000 to every child as a scholarship if anyone killed in the marine corps or the fbi are in a any law-enforcement agency. their overhead for this is era. when the irs can at $55 million you run it out of the garage and they get the money right away. so it is a terrific organization. relatives to islam as, we are fighting an ideology of radical islam and we cannot win that site. we can keep smothering it down, but it will gradually burn itself out as a critical turning point will come when seniormost one liters say this is wrong. he will not go to heaven by blowing up innocent civilians. until islam's leaders cannot say that you will go to and not to heaven, you will have people misguided and not to believe that by murdering other people, they will be forwarded by god and that is wrong. only islam can address that direct way. >> lloyd, charleston from the south carolina in the uri with being less. >> thank you very much. i don't know what you're

smith over here a little bit, i do think the establishment under-reads in iowa. iowa grassroots conservatives somehow ended up with mike do anything after that. had this been ted cruz with the likely resources or rand paul with the likely resources they would have to move on, then their ability to potentially march through many other primary states and grab the nomination. when you go to the tactical aspect of this and realize where this thing starts, if it's not an under-funded santorum or a guy like huckabee who suddenly after he won went to do a paid speech. it didn't show that he actually wanted to be president. and it's a guy like cruz or a guy like rand paul who wants this, who actually seems to want this. then, you know, i don't know -- the establishment waited out those guys before. mitt romney waited it out. john mccain waited it out. to go to the jeb issue, if jeb wants it, i agree with you. >> that's the difference. >> but if he acts the way joe's talking about which is you guys are -- you know, i'm tired of my party being stupid. he doesn't say stupid party, that's a jindal line. but i'm tired of this. >> j
