mr. ward, can i begin with you? >> of course. >> you've said that the president wants to gut the second amendment. what specifically has this president done during his first four years in office to undermine your gun rights? what has he done? >> well, absolutely nothing. >> thank you. >> and the truth is he had to run for re-election, but what he said was -- and i believe joe biden guaranteed that they would pass sweeping gun control legislation by the end of the month. >> but, in fact, as you know, he promised when campaigning in 2008 to reinstate the 1994 ban on assault weapons. he never did so. in fact, in 2010 he signed laws allowing people to carry guns in national parks. he was silent when the supreme court effectively extended gun rights by striking down local bans on handguns. and he's not said a word even as some states have pushed to allow people to carry concealed weapons in bars, schools, and even churches. this president, just so we have it from you on the record, has done absolut

wood as well, mr. ward rather. yes. >> mr. kronigi if you wouldn't mind, because i did have a chance to look at these documents and i do understand that it's ms. ambrose's expertise. [speaker not understood] as well as our own office of labor enforcement, the issue that you just raised that i think would resonate with our committee work force and our community partners is the apprenticeship issue. a contractor who fails routinely, whether intentionally or unintentionally to engage in appropriate apprenticeship program denies our community work force, specifically local residents, an opportunity to find a career path into the building trades, whether that be the laborers, carpenters, electricians or sheet metal workers. i know -- i know enough about apprenticeship programs to speak about them. we have our own and we are actually quite successful at employing high numbers of local residents. i would want to ask you, can you develop just a little bit on this particular contractor and those failures and what efforts you've made to

king would be pro-gun just as surely as jesus would be pro-nail. [ laughter ] because like mr. ward, dr. king understood that the root of all oppression is lack of firepower. [ laughter ] >> if african-americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country's founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history. [ laughter ] >> stephen: yes! if only america's founders had turned to the people they owned and chained into servitude and said, "here's your gun. use it responsibly." [ laughter ] i guess all larry ward is saying is that america would be a better place if george washington and thomas jefferson had been shot by their slaves. [ laughter ] because he's a reasonable man -- of course, not as reasonable as this debate's sanest voice the motor city madman, ted tugent! who, it turns out, is crazy for tolerance. telling worldnet daily, "there will come a time when the gun owners of america -- will be the rosa parks and we will sit down on the front seat of the bus. case closed. [cheers and applause] case closed. if rosa parks had had a

and mrs. ward. i do not get a chance to see her.as very happy and involved in politics back then. i'm glad to see supervisor breed. and just say that both women, supervisor kim, when i started here when she was first elected i called her ms. kim. she got my respect on the finishes are brought to her and she would make a wonderful board president. and supervisor cohen, she's a great woman, always smiling, and i like that. we need a woman. it's time for a woman president to sit up there. and see what she can do. i'm hoping that she will consider, supervisor kim, and my second choice would be supervisor cohen. i would like to see by district supervisor become board president. take that into consideration, two great nominations. >> president: next speaker. >> my name is francisco dacosta. is not too often in these chambers that we have city department heads, other people that really love the city gathered together. the constitution of this great nation if you have read the constitution, the first pages call for morals, call for standard

sensible ways to exercise your second amendment rights, and then there's theater, and i believe that mr. ward the other organizations that are joining on supporting gun appreciation day are really focused on theater, and not on solutions. yes, absolutely, i think larry and i both agree that we want guns in the hands of law-abiding mentally capable citizens. we do not want guns in the hands of people who are mentally incapable of carrying a firearm or for those who have criminal intent, and i think too much of the argument and the discussion and the discourse this week is focused on just theater, ways that organizations are looking to fundraise and build their membership, not on keeping our family safe. larry and i both have 6-year-old children. we both, i believe, felt the pain of seeing children gunned down in newtown, i think we both believe that there are many things that could be done differently to keep guns out of the hands of those with illegal intent. >> well let's talk about the theater issue with larry, because for some people, seeing people carrying weapons out in the open, it is i

>> and what is your contention about mr. ward? >> look, i think our concern has been the assets we think have a lot of value. overhead spending, triple many of its peers, highest of any of the company's peers. part of that is compensation, it's all the usual stuff, perks, jets, et cetera. this company is the worst performing stock since the ipo. book values are down 70%. the stock is down over 70%. his pay has been $16 million every year. essentially when you kick high interest expense and high overhead, the company burns huge amounts of value through all of the excess spending. even if you have the good transaction and a good investment, you lose it through the overhead. from our perspective, you need to cut that overhead. you need to focus, so when you get a good result in your oil investments -- >> it's got to leave, though? >> i think so. conceptually you would hope someone could reform. but when you look at what he's done, the signs aren't good. he hasn't changed his pay. they give an indication of a ceo that doesn't care abo

mr. speaker. seeing school technology -- [inaudible] some of the most deprived wards in the country. it is in need of replacement. will the prime minister acknowledged that the real reason for further 15 month delay in the report, in my constituency and others come is because the banks who continue to pay themselves huge bonuses simply refuse to lend the money on the 25 year term demanded by his education secretary? would he speak in plain language, maybe in latin, to the education secretary? [laughter] we need our new school. >> i will leave the latin to the mayor of london if that's all right but also to have a word with the education secretary. what i would say to him is if you look at school capital budget as a whole, they are equivalent to what was previously labour government did in his earlier to pick the money is there. entrance of the banks, the funding for lenny seen from the bank of england, i think it is having an effect at lowering interest rates. we are reforming but we're also offering infrastructure guarantees, something the treasury has never done before, to help pro

mr. gonzalez? >> plug one of my own stories. today at rollcall.com, kelly wardther of 15mond running a very important operation. >> i'm working on a documentary with the bbc called "what if women ran the world?" >> less corruption, less war? >> yes, not just in the united states but around the world. >> a woman runs europe, her name is angela merkel. >> and it's soon to be in the united states. so following right along. >> fair enough. that's it for this edition of "the daily rundown." see you right back here tomorrow. coming up next, chris jansing. bye-bye. and...done. did you just turn your ringer off so no one would interrupt us? oh no, i... just used my geico app to get a tow truck. it's gonna be 30 minutes. oh, so that means that we won't be stuck up here, for hours, with nothing to do. oh i get it, you wanna pass the time, huh.

mr. chief justice. >> they got it right as daughter sasha was quick to point out after wards when she congratulated her daddy and said, you didn't screw it up this time, dude. >> you did it. >> it's kind of harold to hear but she said you didn't mess it up. he said, i did it. >> good on john roberts, he read the oath from a script so he wouldn't screw it up. >> third time. >> that's the third time that president obama has taken the oath of. today will be the fourth time, and the president went to one of the event did last night. i believe this was at the convention center. and said how much he loves the first lady and what everybody is talking about, her new look. >> i love michelle obama to address the most significant event of this weekend, i love her bangs. >> love her bangs. >> should have made a good debut for the bangs. >> a good look. earlier in the day the vice president sort of pete the president to the punch at the vice president's mansion surrounded this time. he had a lot of family there but also a lot of friends including a lot of friends from iowa that's got people buzzing. and he took th

mr. lew in some of the negotiations. it has not been pleasant. there is a feeling he is not been a positive force. i noticed bob wood wardeached the budget control act in agreement on that, he was reported to have been obnoxious and disrespectful lecturing. it took if you recall vice president biden to finally move this debt and the fiscal cliff issue forward. i don't think he does have the kind of respectful valuation from republicans that you would like to see in the secretary of treasury. >> senator sessions, thanks very much for sharing your shoes. it will be a lively process to be sure. i think chuck hegel's will be

ward shows now. finally, this one has managed to distinguish itself from the others. >> you have a pair of pant that is do that. >> tear away pants. >> thank you, natalie. >>> mr. roker? >> we have a mess in the northeast starting from washington, making its way into boston next 12 hours. it's going to be a real mess. we've got winter storm watches, winter weather advisories, freezing rain advisories from verge yain all the way up into the northeast. we've got snow up in new england and upstate new york. icy conditions through the ohio river valley on down into parts of the northeast. we are looking for about a tenth to a quarter inch of ice in central pennsylvania and new york state up to three to six inches of snow in northern new england. but the icy conditions are going to make for a mess on the roads and making their way into the airports. we'll get to your local forecast right after this message. ♪ this is amazing, how did you find us? i thought we might be related, so i had a fiber analysis done and sure enough, we're family. but you're not even shredded. you're...crunchy?! that happens sometimes. and you help keep people full with whole grain fiber? jus
