and what was said about philando castile from the nra was -- and this was only after being pushed byir african american members -- was that "we believe that everyone, regardless of race, sexual orientation, should have access to guns, to arms," but thing really substantive. what happened after ruby ridge and waco, texas, with the branch davidians, was that wayne lapierre called outederal officers as being jackbooted government thugs who believe they have the right to storm into people's homes and take their guns and kill law-abiding citizens. several officers had been killed in those events. and so to then label the response as jackbooted thugs, when you get silence with philando caile, it really led meo -- you know, as journalists, we are asking, "don't african americans have second amendment rights?" d that's what sent me down this path, all the way to the 17th ceury, to be able to answer that question. amy: so let's go back to 2016. and is you write in your book, carol anderson, about how this inspired you to write this whole book. the immediate aftermath of the police shooting of

"buzzfeed news" called up the pro-nra commentator guy after the videos were published., you are telling me the whole thing was a setup? no, i didn't know that. we reached out to david keane. we haven't heard back from him. this remarkable demonstrative experiment, this stunt was orchestrated by a gun safety advocacy group called change the ref. they pointed out today that, quote, ironically, had the men conducted a proper background check on the school, they would have seen the school is fake. they were trying to illustrate that the thousands of students lost to gun violence won't be forgotten and they wanted to force pro-gun advocates to literally face the consequences of their policies. they call those 3,000 empty seats the lost class. this advocacy group change the ref was founded by manuel and patricia oliver. their son was killed when he was 17 years old. he was a great writer. an athlete, loved music. joaquin's father manuel said today that he was not scared to pull off this sort of unbelievable piece of advocacy and honestly subterfuge. he said we need to show we

what we saw and an nra, -- in mnra. what is this going to lead to? >> that's a great question.we should celebrate the enormous accomplishments of the scientific community with nra vax -- with mnra vaccines in response to the covid next -- the covid pandemic. over the last couple of decades, the rate of new drugs being approved by the fda has not significantly increased. during the two decade period, research and development and pharmaceutical companies, the spend has nearly quadrupled. they need much more information, they can apply machine learning and deep learning to be able to figure out what are the differences, how do i build a better therapeutic? the promise of the technology we are working to bring to the world is you will be able to build better therapeutic's and less time with higher efficacy. caroline: we are looking at a chart of your share price. you recently went public. why? what has it done for you? >> first and foremost, to understand why, you have to understand what are our motivations for going public? i am a former public company ceo. i know what it is like

there are these sometimes racial stereotypes that we have that the reason we need -- the ceo of the nra, gang bangers and carjackers, others who are going to come get us, but when you look at the real risk of guns is, a lot of times, it is people who have never had a gun before who bring it into their home and they harm themselves in a moment of despair. it goes off accidentally. so bringing guns into people's homes is itself a form of risk that is not about the gang banger or whatever. it is about what it means to have a gun in your house. what i found out is, at least in the research i was doing, that was a risk predominantly among middle to lower income white men in missouri. there are a lot of these ways in which the popular conception of why people need guns and the real risk of guns sometimes are discarded. this does not discount what the caller said. i think we need to have a national conversation about safety and what needs to be safe. i think it is important to recognize the importance to organize our biases about who is a risk and what we need to do about it. host: from new yo

>> in the words of charleston heston at the nra meeting, from my cold dead hands will you pull my pickup truck, this highlights an important issue. the strongest divide in america is the divide between urban and rural america. it's a complete cultural shift. we lift two different lives. i dip into urban america often enough. they don't understand how we believe, this is not political. this is a lifestyle cultural divide. they don't understand if you drive a prius in coweta county, georgia, getting hid by a deer goes up the roof. little things like that that people don't have any respect for because it's not the life that they live. they don't understand why normal americans might want a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get stuff done around the house. that's terrible. i don't question their propensity to ride a bicycle, which is i think is a stupid idea and dangerous. why would you question my pickup truck? >> laura: last year during the pandemic, initially the sales of automobiles fell. at the time shoppers were still snapping up pickups. they accounted for 20% of the new car market up from 18.

there are these sometimes racial stereotypes, the reason we need a threat is because the ceo of the nra having gangbangers and carjackers, others who are going to come get us when you talk about what the real risk is, a lot of times people who've never had a gun before will bring it into their home and they armed themselves ina moment of despair or it goes off accidentally . so just bringing guns into people's homes is itself a form of risk thatisn't about the gangbanger or whatever . it's about what it means to have a gun in your house and what i found is at least in the research i was doing that was a risk predominantly among middle to lower income white e men in missouri where i was doing my research. there are all these ways in which the popular perception of why people have guns and the realrisk of guns are discordant .i'm not saying this to discount what the caller said. i think we need to have a natural conversation about safety but i think it's important to recognize the importance of our underlying biases about who is a risk and who isn't a risk and what we need to do about it
