nra conference predictable, blame everything in the world except guns for the newtown tragedy, wake up. he is no fan of the nra, they are no fan of his. how much of an effect is that likely to have? >> i think a very big effect. look, he goes out and says guns are a health issue. no they're not. they're a constitutional right. the job of the surgeon general is not to promote gun control. it is to educate the public about diseases, guns are not a disease. he seems to think they are. the fact is because we have a situation where harry reid invoked the nuclear reaction, and this is on the democrats. his nomination will be decided by a 51 vote majority. and so the question is, are pro-gun, vulnerable democrats in pro-gun states going to vote to confirm this guy because if they do they will be in big trouble in november? >> your eight years in attending, you know your way around the block, and brigham, which is part of harvard, you have a lot to learn. that is still considered a young doctor who could potentially be considered as our surgeon general. the heat tonight over whether the man is

last night, newtown's public building and site commission saw the design concepts for the first time.rings show the plan for the new school. it provides open air learning areas within stone walls. this is to create a sense of safety for the students and staff. the designers hope that the students and the staff like the new open design. >> having more access to nature on an everyday basis improves the life in the school. >> and architects will not touch the actual site where the shooting happened. that building has been torn down, and it's still not clear at this point what's going to go in its place. leaders hope that the new school will open by 2016. >>> dramatic video out of phoenix this morning as the area is hit by a huge dust storm. you see it creates a wall of gray here. worse than fog, it's impossible to see through. the storm stirred up because of 45 mile-per-hour winds which kicked lots of desert dirt into the air. it did lead to some car crashes, as well. today they're expecting much clearer skies. that's in the forecast. >> so unusual. i'd be scared if i saw something like

adam shot and killed himself after killing six staffers and 20 young children at the school in newtownconnecticut back in december 2012. he also shot and killed his mother nancy. in an interview with "the new yorker" magazine, peter lanza says, quote, with hindsight i know adam would have killed me in a heartbeat if he had the chance. peter lanza says his son talked with many mental health professionals but none saw violent tendencies in his personalities. he says he thinks about his son and the massacre every hour. he says, quote, you can't get any more evil. how much do i beat up myself about the fact he's my son. a lot. peter lanza says he was able to read cards and letters sent on the one year anniversary of the shooting. he has offered to meet with victims of the shooting and two families have taken him up on that saying it's gut wrenching. a family member told me they forgave adam. i didn't know how to respond, a person that lost their son, their only son. >> well, it's 6:41. coming up an update to breaking news overnight. fires at a school and baseball field and nearby park. we'

piece, democrats really passed a number of controversial pieces of legislation in the wake of the newtownocrats passed a wide-ranging package of gun-control bills as well as mandates on rural energy, mandates on electric cooperatives in rural parts of the state. and rieally, there's been this feeling in rural colorado, in some of the counties, they feel frontrange lawmakers, from fort collins to den verb, colorado springs, into pueblo, they aren't listening to them and aren't heeding their messages or really, you know, listening to what their interests are in those parts of the state. that's really pushed them to move toward the symbolic vote last november, really, to secede from the state. >> you know what's interesting is politically it used to be, when democrats won statewide in colorado, they had to not be from the denver area, and recently, the denver area, you can now win with a denver base, so there is this sort of automatic disconnect, even with some of the lawmakers. governor hickenlooper said it was a good thing. how is he -- what has he done to sort of address this perception t

the school shooting in newtown, connecticut had some concern.uger said sales will come down a bit. >>> if you fly united, keep a very close eye on the size of your carry-on bags. united cracking down on oversized luggage you brought on board. you know who you are, people. even sending some people back to the counter to track the bag and pay the fee. a lot of people trying to stuff everything on carry-ons. the planes are stuffed, too, right? so there's not enough carry-on space for everyone. united said their goal is to free up space in overhead bins so everyone can get their one appropriately sized carry-on on board. "new day" starts right now. >>> there is a strong belief that russian's action is violating international law. >> john kerry set to square off this morning. moving to suz u.s. assets in russia if they're sanctioned. >>> breaking overnight, the dramatic rescue caught on tape. a mother drives her van into the ocean with her three children inside. we're going to hear from the bystanders this morning. >> happening now, what made oscar p

the tragedy in newtown. you know very tragic but it would not have been prevented with a background check because ok then let me get them let me go a step further ok i would suggest you know we the constitution says that in order to have a well regulated militia the right of people should not be infringed to bear arms so if we're going to regulated you know regulations around guns when we figured out nine hundred fifteen or thereabouts that cars will start to go fast enough to kill people we started regulating cars you got to have registration you got to have proof that you know how to use the thing start. license and not have liability insurance which is cheap libel is cheap if if those kids of newtown have been hit by a drunk driver or even intentionally you know it. would be paying out millions instead those parents got absolutely nothing because they were killed with a gun so why don't we see why we require guns to be licensed gun owners to have a license gun to be registered and for them to happen why d

. >> but after the newtown shooting in connecticut, hickenlooper moved away from gun rights and embracedugh new legislation, including magazine limits and background checks. he joined me on the show in april of last year, and i asked him what changed his mind. >> as i talked to people around the state, i also heard that democrats, republicans, independents, when you talked about universal background checks, almost everyone supported it. >> well, plenty of people, though, opposed the new gun measures, and boy, did they take their anger out on the state legislature. two democratic state senators were ousted, and a third resigned her seat rather than face the recall. with democrats out in colorado holding a single-seat majority and the governor himself up for re-election, republicans are hoping they can gain enough control of the statehouse to repeal the new gun laws altogether. joining me is one of the two lawmakers recalled last year, former colorado state senate president john morris. mr. morris, good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> so do you believe that the gun issue is someth

but i think it's also important to recognize a surgeon general who's after newtown, the aware of guniolence as a publish shoe has fwroun. the overwhelming consensus of the american medical community. i've talked to many doctors in the course of my reporting on gun violence, pediatrician, emergency room doctors, medical researchers, they all agree that gun violence is a significant public health issue and should be viewed through that lens. and, you know, i think if the surgeon general was going to lead the charge with that, there would be a real threat. >> let me jump in on that point, mark. it's funny. in looking at this, i saw this much more as pure politics. and them looking for something to do to gin up their base and mess with the president, which we know they like to do. but you're coming from a different policy point. you're arguing they're actually threatened by the skbritcy of this post. but the idea that from a medical legitimacy standpoint, this is a threat to the way they want this issue understood? >> that's right. i think it's both in this case. think about what c. ever
