and the vast majority of those indigent people are people of color. so what you have are two systems in place. you have a system where privileged white middle class people basically use drugs, college campuses, frat parties, not clubs, they use drug with impunity, they don't have to worry about being caught. then you have a system that comes down like a ton of bricks on indigent poor people and that's one of the reasons why i think this type of reform is a positive first step because if you aren't going to make drug possession illegal, at least make it a misdemeanor and not a felony. at least don't stigmatize and label an entire population of people as felons and prevent them from getting housing, getting an education -- [applause] >> i guess the question is of fairness. you shouldn't have two systems, one where based on your race or class you can access treatment and move on with your life and another one where because of law enforcement tactics and focus, you end up caught up in a system where you can never move on. you're permanently trapped and we

he made this video. >> you have rich people peeing on poor people. >> how disgusting.u have money? >> yeah. >> can i piss on you? >> cenk: damn. we'll show you the original video, we'll show you that, and we have ed right here on the show. and then the elbow of the day we have a little knockout. we'll go to politics, and then cause to celebrate. we have gay marriages in washington that started over the weekend. [ cheering ] >> cenk: what i'm amused by is people who see that celebration and go, o, how terrible. we'll talk about it all on tonight's show. you know what time it is, go time. [ ♪ theme music ♪ ] >> cenk: so off and on on this show we talk about money and politics. i think it's the number one issue over all other issues. for once i have an amusing fact about that for you guys. last couple of weeks of the election turns out republican dopers gave $86 million to mitt romney. thinking that he would win and this would put him over the top. oops. wrong again bob. that's not how to worked out. what i love about that, if conservatives were watching "the young turks,

people in new york the different worlds and people in new york city, then people in montana or texas probably. they are best able to decide what kind of roles they should have. unfortunately the latter state, the gun lobby has made it possible, impossible for local jurisdictions to make their own rules. how did the state legislatures said in the capital of this day. posted the state legislatures said you couldn't have any laws. >> guest: that's outrageous and defend linking. if hysteria that produces bauxite. it is not clear thinking about the problem we have and how we can intelligently deal with it. >> host: to touch briefly and i don't think you've got into it too much of the book, but the court case talk about the gun in the home for self-defense. when you get to conceal to carry, we talk about taking a gun into the public view and in a lot of states there's precious after a shooting at virginia tech we should have guns in the classroom for guns in more places. where is that outgoing about makes sense? >> guest: you hear that after every large-scale mass shooting. armed people ca

people-many people lost their homes, their jobs. we must say, there is a way out, there is a better way. they cannot be shy because the convention is taking place in the bank of america center. they've got to be strong. they've got to tell the truth. amy goodman: do you think people should be protesting as president obama is speaking? rep. john lewis: well, i don't know. if people feel that something is not right, is not fair, they have a right to protest. amy goodman: do you feel it's not right? would you be protesting? rep. john lewis: i don't know what i'm going to do. i don't know. i believe that the time is always right to do right, as dr. king said, and people always have a right to protest for what is right. amy goodman: how did you decide to go from activist, real street-fighting activist-you, yourself, weren't physically fighting, but you were being fought by the police every step of the way-to a congressmember? talk about the moment you made that decision and the year you did. how old were you? rep. john lewis: i made the

people act people. and those people that you don't know just because best to say nothing and then get the wrong thing maybe even let's not forget that christmas trees are german pagan tradition right well you know that they were they were mean historically but now they're fun things that we put decorations on and we sit around for two weeks and we throw them in the street you know at the end of the two weeks and say thanks for the memories you know it is what it is i still love what christmas represents you know the idea of family coming together it can be difficult it can be stressful i know that but when it boils down you know it really is a celebration of our family and being together at a time of the year that just makes people smile more and a little be a little bit happier i wish that christmas spirit could be all your frankly do you think that we've lost the meaning of the holiday season with the commercialism and the happy holidays and all this stuff do you think we've lost the old meaning i don

young people, united young people or united old people, rather, and a united nation. so, please, adopt this motion for next year's campaign and support a national minimum wage for allful thank you.

i owe people. that's why i go to talk to people. but my disease is first off wrong, theirs guaranteed wrong. made that way was i. first thought wrong, inappropriate, impolite, incorrect, cruel, criminal, abusive, petty, angry, poor, first thought wrong, absolutely. first thought wrong. 12 minutes, that's what i get? 12? second thought was i'll take two and make a difference. first thought wrong, sometimes second thought wrong grr! sometimes it takes me 15 minutes to get to a healthy thought. sometimes longer. sometimes four days of long, wrong, and strong. i went through t.s.a. recently in san jose where i live. i was born and raised in oakland, i went to jail in livermore. here is the part. normal people don't laugh at jail there. i worked there. god bless you if you worked there. i couldn't do that job for two days in a row. i can do it for an hour. an ex-felon who is an extraordinary father. i can become an ex-drunk who is an exceptional citizen. there is a transition necessary for a convicted, afflicted person the and it involve

it hits lower and middle income people more than upper income people.hy democrats here did not want to adopt it, even though it is a pretty good way of raising revenue. host: sam goldfarb, if you had to predict what will happen between now and the end of the year? guest: i'm feeling as of yesterday that they are very close. [laughter] host: congress went home yesterday. guest: the people who matter are still there. the aides to boehner and obama are still there. there are times the though even this week that it will get frustrated and stop talking to each other. i'm not sure if they're talking today or taking the day off. obama said yesterday that this could get done in about a week. i think he might be right. republicans see the writing on the wall when it comes to tax increases. what they're interested in now is making sure they get spending cuts to go along with the tax increases. when obama put his additional offer, he said $1.60 trillion in tax increases and we will delay the spending cuts until next year. that was the initial offer. republicans wa

, 300 million people. you would see mental health care being delivered within the average city, suburban town setting. prior to that, psychiatric illness had been often put aside in state hospitals in remote districts so nobody saw patients. there were close to 600,000 people in psychiatric hospitals at the peak, which was the early '60s. if that had ever continued that way, when you think of the expansion of the population, we'd probably have 3 million people or so in psychiatric state hospitals today. those were closed for -- not closed, but they were reduced down dramatically and there have been attempts to find other services. they've not been sufficient. >> why were they reduced? just a matter of money or were there other reasons or philosophical reasons why the state hospitals were closed in. >> the feeling was that you could have a more optimistic approach toward people in state hospitals, which i think was accurate. that some people with treatments that were being developed could function on the ou

some people won't. some people will never be the same. like that thing with katrina, some people are really good but you can tell just under the surface that they are a wreck. give them space, try to be professional, try to comfort them if you can, but some people won't let you. and don't take it personal. that's the main thing, just don't take it personal. sometimes people just can't be helped. they are not mad at you, they don't hate you, you are trying to help them. they probably understand that, but they have suffered a terrific loss and some people you can't help. but try. you got to try anyway. that's kind of why we're here, we want to try. some other feels, disorientation, physical or emotional numbness, loss of trust or abandonment, cranky. i would be. if i had to go shave in the marina medal school, my cat ran away, i'd be pissed. team behavior, be calm. you don't want to be excited and crazed. be systematic, demonstrate by example. if you are calm and cool and under control, people will see you are there to help. if you act like

but then people who witness it, people close by it. but then there is a whole bunch of kids all over the world or farther away. how much of an impact do you think it makes on your kids and my kids? >> i think that we're fortunate in that we can limit it as much as we possibly can. you know, i've made a point of not emphasizing it with my children. not talking about it too much this past week. and we kept the television off. if they ask about it, we answer their questions. but i think one of the keys is, is to just sort of keep it away from them. if you can. >> right. yeah. i've tried to do that, as well. but it's just social media nowadays, amazing the questions they ask. good stuff. thanks, elizabeth. >>> and there's another thing that caught my eye as well up in newtown. you may have seen some of these images. the comfort dogs. nine specially trained golden retrievers made their way up from illinois to connecticut to help children and adults alike cope and grieve. these pooches, i've seen them in other places, flood zones, hurricane

people don't necessarily realize that is a problem until people fall. we know that is a major source of injury. in terms of the financial impact going back to the city to say look at the money we are spending on hospital bills on people who slip and falls when that can be prevented by having grab bars in bathrooms. that is one thing we want to work on, and working phone jack along with affordable telephone service. working phone jacks are required by state law; a residential hotel, tourist hotel is required to have that. pretend that i did not say that. in sros, every room is required have a working phone jack. people are dealing with a lot of isolation. i mentioned people with disabilities who may be in the room where it is hard to get out. the staircase to be rickety. the elevator may be broken. there's a myriad of problems where people can be stranded in the room. phone jacks are one way that people can connect with the outside world. even if they're not physically stranded, to be able to call a friend, to connect with the neighbors, to set up a doct

it's about the people. are they evil children? >> people choke on hot dogs.eople fall into pools and drown. >> you're equating choking on a hot dog? >> accidents happen. if we want to have a productive dialogue. this is an emotional talk show. >> these are not accidents. >> there's not -- >> you have to separate. it is about the brutal efficiency of high-powered semiautomatic and/or automatic weapons. assault weapons. and in that case, it is about the gun. >> several loaded magazines, and an ar-15. he may as well been a commando in afghanistan. >> the only thing we disagree on is the assault weapons part. that's why -- the question is why should anyone have an assault weapon? >> they exist. and let me ask you this. >> is that the justification? >> if you ban them, do you think that it keeps it out of the hands of criminals? has that worked for drugs? has it worked for prostitution? does it work for anything we ban? does it keep it out of the hands of the people that's irresponsible? or does it create an imbalance of power? >> do you agree that the second amen

to kill other people more easily. let the jury decide what happens there. but he passed law that makes it easier to kill people well, criminals can to get in touch of that, too, not just you that happens to think that you are in danger of being attacked by somebody with a gun. i just think it is shameful that we have rushed to passed the standard ground and castle dr. laws. >> host: basically there's always been a right to self-defense and we recognize that right to self-defense but what they do in so many cases is take away the discretion of the prosecutor to charge. >> guest: whose interest does that serve? one of the things that did surprise me a little and i didn't conduct a nationwide survey of the gun owners but among the people that own guns that i talked with, i found that very often the reaction coming your way of thinking before and after you have a gun is very different. i think any law-abiding gun owner realizes when he or she has a gun that it's a huge responsibility. if you use this weapon irresponsibly,

>> people will lose lives. people need to protect themselves.e police can't be there all the time. if you want them to fire a bolt-action rifle -- >> are you going to answer nigh question? >> i was trying to answer your first question. >> it's a simple question. how many bullets can the ar-15 fire in one second? do you know? >> i think your estimate is high. >> it's not. actually i've spoken to many experts today. if can fire four to six bullets a second. it can fire a hundred in a minute. that could wipe out, as we saw, 20 children in a matter of seconds, if not two minutes. >> it's a characteristic of all semiautomatic guns. >> you don't want to say the answer to those questions because you want to people to think they're harmless old hunting rifles and that's why they sell so fast. and it's a disgrace you won't answer those questions. >> i said at the beginning -- >> we'll take a break. you have to answer the questions truthfully to an american audience. >> when we come back, the survivors of gun violence tell me about the impact of these ter

most people, most young people talk about. if you read blogs, blogs written by young people about why they've decided to leave boston after spending their four of plus years here, here's what they say. i've read a lot of these blogs in the last few years, and they've just almost in a way -- last few days, and they've just kind of stunned me. too small townish, extremely clique key and provincial. the business community is too insular and too close-knit, not enough for entertainment and, ed, not only does the t close early, but the bars close at 2 a.m. >> yeah. [laughter] >> i remember that in my 20s. twenty years ago. >> the first when i read this, i kind of chuckled a little bit. but when i saw these comments repeated by the hundreds and the hundreds and the hundreds, i realized it's not amusing. of we have a cultural problem here in boston what a majority of these young people said was four years plus a couple more, and i'm outta here. not one of them, not one of the comments that i read mentioned the cost of housing except

there are two people -- two places where people are buried in the city. the other ones were moved out. >> the big scandal of lincoln park, someone wanted to build the legion of honor out there. she did and she got it done. they had to prepare the land, the golden gate cemetery, so the people they hired did not get rid of any of the bodies. they got rid of the headstones. they built a museum. when the renovated it in the 1990's and started digging ground, nothing but hundreds and hundreds of bodies. >> skeletons. >> skeletons. it was a big scandal. they created a mass grave and moved to the remains. there are pictures. they have thiese skeletons sticking out of the wall. it showed the relative worth. they stopped digging because they would keep finding bodies. >> they are still out there. there are bodies all over the place. they used to bury people in north beach. they would go up there and very bodies. >> there were removed from many of these cemeteries. there is a slogan that is -- anybody know? "it is great to be alive." >> beats the alternative. >> i

there was a lot of people, there were a lot of people attending. there was a lot of anger at those hearings. 3 million of those folks wrote letters to the senate and the fcc. there doesn't seem to be the opposition this time. what has changed? >> well, what's changed is they're moving quickly and quietly and secretly. and i think there has not been the kind of attention that we need to focus on this issue. and i think genachowski is smart enough to know that that is not what he wants. what the bush people learned is that when you open this up to public discussion, very few people in america think it's a good idea for fewer and fewer conglomerates to own more and more of the media, especially in a number of cities. so they're apparently trying to move this under the radar screen. and that's something we're going to try to halt. >> are you calling for public hearings on this? >> absolutely. no, we're going to do everything that we can to involve the public in this. the idea, i mean, even, let's give credit to the bush administration. they came up wit

as i said an empire of peace of abstraction people come and people don't goal the only people that has so far had a problem with it is maybe greenland and that is that is an example really out of history so something has to be clear at the moment we talking about a european european union that have been tremendously successful one even the nobel prize for peace and then we have to get the next step which is a real good european democracy then if you know where your money goes you will bail out the other countries and then of course you have a leadership that kemah posed to some public opinions such as in germany they want to that's not all i mean chris is against the critics and. they have been. for the euro we have well you're a leader nearly forgotten it stagnant tony stagnant it doesn't have much better future ok go ahead. well i would actually be in favor of the european union i'm not a low i believe and you know the private the separate development the various ethnic groups throughout europe and i dress particular situation here in ireland separatist movements do not necessarily e

a lot of people were showing up, hundreds of thousands of people showed up at rallies.and it really transformed the way we think about things in the sense that people began to question whether or not the law that was passed by washington, obamacare as one big example, whether laws were constitutional. whether the constitution gave the government to power to do certain things. this hadn't come up really since the 1930s. >> host: but, again, the november 2012 elections -- >> guest: i don't want to talk about 2012. i'm tired of 2012. let's talk about the future. 2012 wasn't very good for us, and we're going to have to figure out a way to appeal to a bigger electorate. >> host: are you running for president? [laughter] >> guest: that's classified. i can't -- your clearance is not high enough to hear that right now. no, i want to be

i'm not against people. i want people to prosper. it's not the end all -- what we think we want is the good life. and the good life is looking good, feeling good, and having the goods. the problem is i've talked to a lot of people. my church is filled with people who have those three things. white collar workers and they look good, they feel good, they have the goods. and a lot of books have come out and said if i'm so successful, why do i feel like a fake? and the reason is because the good life isn't good enough. what you need is a better life. i think that's what jesus offers. when i was a little kid, my parents served me strained spinach. i thought that was really tasty. today, i think parents should be in prison for child abuse for serving that because it's pretty nasty stuff. but i thought strained spinach was really good. until i got a little bit older they served me chef boyardee spaghetti-o's. i thought that was good until i discovered in and out burger. if there was a better life, wouldn't you want to know about it? i'm not

if even people like picasso and satre were communists, it was ok for other people. picasso was taken to see a new apartment block was being built in the city, of homes for the workers project, which was seen as a sign for progressive architecture, and he painted a picture of one of these new apartments, which later became a mini tourist attraction. they became annoyed by the amount of people who knocked on the door to see the sketch on the wall, survey painted on it. >> if you were going to send people to a number of places today in eastern europe but that would somehow reflect those years, what would you sing? >> i would send you to warsaw. you can do a visual archaeology. you can see what was killed when, and there were a number of prominent stalinist and buildings in the center of warsaw, including the palace of culture, which was a skyscraper built in the high architectural style, and you get an idea of what it looks like aesthetically. >> we talked about it earlier -- the jews of europe. how many have moved back into either eastern germany or poland or hungary?

jails will still be filled with poor people and people of color. you're not ending the war on drugs. we need to think of at holistic play as a public-health problem. not as a rush also the people who are selling and people are selling a rock to a police officer pretending to be an addict. all those people need help. >> i think that have given my all for the cause. i will leave it to george to put the capper on it. >> what is the sanction for opposing -- he is one of your members. >> he is and he is a valued member of the association. as an elected official, he is entitled to his own opinion. >> thank you. i have to say that, i want to think marty for coming here. he knew he was coming into this. i want to repeat. i am in the minority in the association. i think concerning this item, it is important for me and all of us to recognize there are ballot points of view. if we're serious about developing solutions that work for all of us, we have to entertain those points of view and tried to reach consensus. that is the only one that we will create a wor

it is missing in these people.ust to pick up on what michael said, they don't have a connection. you have to spae very different language and be very clear in what you're saying. they will interpret anything as being beneficial to them. these are people who torture animals because they can't defend themselves. >> we'll leave it there. doctors, thank you both very much indeed. it is fascinating material. we'll be right back.  >>> tomorrow, more on guns in america. the issue front and center across the country. tomorrow we're tackling it head on. our bringing together lawmakers, survivors, experts, people on both sides of this very contentious debate. we'll have kory booker, tom ridge, many others talking about the tragedy. the step america must now take. we want to hear from you. we'll be taking your questions and your tweets. again, guns in america. %. mmmm tasty. and cut! very good. people are always asking me how we make these geico adverts. so we're taking you behind the scenes. this coffee cup, for

more people keep coming. everyone just wants to be here, wants to be part of this and share in the grief together. jason carroll is joining us now. jason, you actually talked with a church teacher who spent time with some of the kids who were at the school. how are they doing? her name, anderson, is sue vogelman. she has very strong ties to sandy hook elementary. she taught there for ten years. she is now a church teacher, and many of the students from sandy hook elementary were in her classroom today. this is the first time that so many of the students were in a classroom setting since the tragic events on friday. we talked about how it was for her, how it was for the students. she said there was a lot of anxiety, anxiety on the part of the parents. some of the parents were unsure about putting their children back in a classroom setting even if it is a sunday school classroom setting so soon. some of the children are at much different levels. some of the children didn't know anything about the event. some of

be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money next mayors in the united states have need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there are enough. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. times over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy knowing times over for groceries for everyone in the country for free for two years or to provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the more turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salar

this legislation doesn't result from straight people or people can kids or people complaining about public nudity. the concern has been gay men. i have heard from more far childless gay men in support of this legislation than straight people, from merchants or in the valley or people with kids, and i am not adjust talking about newbies. i'm talking about gay men who have lived in the area for years. there is clearly a difference of opinion among gay men. i want to make one more point. specific are there laws on the books that cover this situation? there aren't and which is why berkeley and san jose and other cities have their nudity restrictions above and beyond the penal code. if there were laws in place i wouldn't have addressed this legislation and subjected myself to some, shall we say interesting commentary among some of the opponents. and i include frankly the argument that i truly disagree with, and has been repeated over and over in some quarters, that saying that you have to cover your genitalos a public street or sidewalk is no different than requiring women to wear burkas or ban

people do.he truth is, people with assault weapons kill a lot of people. >> kill people, yeah. >> and it's -- it's really very simple mathematics. if you are limited the worse -- guns that could do the worst damage, if you just limited those, people's minds and hearts wouldn't be changed. they would still want to hurt other people, but they would be a lot less effective. in china they've had five school stabbings. the last one, a man stabbed 22 children. up know how many died? >> none. >> none. so -- imagine if he had an assault weapon. how many would he have killed? certainly -- certainly much more than 22. >> yeah. so -- >> that's simple math. >> lou -- lou, hold that thought. hold that thought. we're going to go away and then come back, and i don't know where the show's going to go. some of the things we had planned for you, the lighter thing, might not make it on the air. i'm going to warn you. this is an important conversation. we'll be right back after this break. i have a cold, and i took

only theich people had cell phones. yes, they were the size of a brick and you carried around in a briefcase and it is a good thing they funded that technology because it led to cheaper devices that we now use. >> eventually, your point, is it will get to everyone. the guy who wrote the forward says the biggest inequality is define those who are alive and dead but the rich people experiment first, they will get hurt first by the mistakes. >>guest: that is right. they take the most risk and put the most capital forward. in some ways it is good that happens. the biggest question, how long does it take between the rich getting it and the pr getting it and that is shrinking for new technology. that divide. >> thank you, sonia, more on our wonderful world. despite what the media whines about, it is a wonderful world. more on that when we come back. >> google. intel. e-bay. yahoo, think of the wealth they created. 100,000 millionaires. and south africa computer program has it easier than whe the indians want to come in but th

people because they. know how. yes and people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not beneficial to the vast majority of people and kill we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham and then the you look at the military budget you don't see the military budget that uses as much as the whole world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade for the american society of civil engineers we get a deed in there this is where it is the future of our economy their infrastructure is going to work and so if you face of those two issues which are you know just war going on here the one percent the military industrial complex suddenly your solution is to tell you she's going to lose money to invest in the new resisting the economy you

to aurm people to train them? they don't have money for teachers to do a better -- to have better pay? >> we don't have money for kids to have art and music. we don't have money for kids to get a decent salary. we don't have money to have smaller class sizes. but all of the sudden, in a hot little minute, we can find millions, billions of dollars to aurm teachers? when what teachers want is to be able to teach. what kids want is to make sure that their schools are safe and nurturing. >> there has been violence, gun violence, that needs to be abated. and city after city after city. now, what we're seeing, is in rural communities all across america, we see the use of illegal guns or guns in the wrong hands. we need to find a way to har monoize the second amendmented, which one can do and have common sense regulations around guns. we can do that in the united states of america. >> well, you'll be hearing a lo about that. i think it is high time that we deal with this in a way that protects people's rights. but childr

you can see cars are lined up as people are trying to get in, people from the community are allowed to, obviously, family members you anybody who has kids at the school. police are checking as people go in. there is a makeshift memorial here around a lot of folks have lined up, even though it is an hour or more away, have lined to go through metal detectors in order to get into the high school so they can take part in this prayer. prayer service, this interfaith service. we, of course, are going to bring that to you live there are pool cameras inside, all that will be broadcast on cnn so you can watch along wherever you are around the united states or around the world. donlemon is here in newtown. you spent time here the past couple of days as well, how people are gathering together, sometimes complete strangers come up to you and start talking, to me or just one another and do it on street corners or in churches which have been open around the clock. but people just kind of want to share their grief and share their experience as and their thoughts and what's going on here. >> the two

it's not press people. it's just people you met, and that's always one of my favorite stories in the book is the day that you go down to the site of the former -- the original ponchtrain, now has a ponch train hotel on it sitting there empty, and you met a bunch of different people down there, but one was this guy, tony. i wanted you to talk a little bit about tony, how you met him, and why you included him in the book. >> i thought it was just kind of a sort of telling moment. i mean, yeah, and i guess i like -- i love that kind of moment because of the serendipty of it. i road -- i read detroit's history not long after i got here, and, you know, as a lot of people here probably know, you know, right down there near the plaza is where cadillac, the french explorer first landed, there's a statue, and that's what the fort was. i was reading that, and sort of unusually funny day, and in the fall, and so i decided to make my way down there and sit outside, and it was, you know, it was a weekday, and it was pre

people in work. vacancies are up. i'm employment is down by 82000, and the claimant count is down. over 1 million extra private sector jobs under this government. [shouting] >> ed miliband. [shouting] >> mr. speaker -- mr. speaker, today's fall in unemployment and rise in employment is welcomed. [cheers and applause] >> part of the challenge remains with some high level of long-term unemployment. does the prime minister agree that remain a fundamentally important not just for the people are out of work, of the country as a whole? >> i absolutely do agree as a mention in my first answer that long-term unemployment remains high. the good news about the figures today is that long-term youth unemployment is actually down by 10,000 this quarter, so that is encouraging. but long-term unemployment for others is still a problem. that's why the work program in getting the work program right is so important. clearly there's more to do. i welcome his tone not least because he said on the 18th of january adequat

and began shooting people.l me what happened. >> he had already shot and killed people in our facility called youth with a mission. and then went home and slept in his bed. and the next morning he came to new life church and waited for the uniform law enforcement to leave an hour in the parking lot and then as soon as they left he made us move. he came into the church, i apologize, he shot some people in the parking lot. he killed two sisters and severely wounded their father. and i heard the shots because it was obviously very loud. and he came into the church, everybody there were hundreds of people in the hallway. this is like 100 meters long. it houses the special needs adaults. so everybody scattered all of a sudden. get down he has a gun. and i took the handgun out of the waste ban of my jeans and sprinted down the hall toward him. it was like a miracle everybody found a place to hide. i took cover and i had seconded to come up with a solid game plan and i said god please with me and stepped out and said

white people, plaque black people? how is there racism against black people? it was by quentinter ten know. you can on what friggin' basis did he write that? he linked it to an article how the movie used that word. it said the "n" word and didn't write it out like this, but who cares, an opportunity to saying is totally inflammatory on my headline. but is he inapplying that terantino is racist against black people? but he was just implying that it was racist against white people. >> i spent my whole life surrounded by black fingers. why don't they just rise up and kill the whites? [ laughing ] >> who knows what could happen. >> in the world you got to get dirty, so that's what i'm doing. i'm getting dirty. >> what's your name? >> jdjango. the "d" is silent. >> cenk: yeah, if you ask me that looks bad ass. but i'm sure i'll be accused of being racist against asian people as long as they're making things up. it was linked to an article how alarming it is in this context for whites to see an "n" word on a horse. but quite naturally given the historical setting th

it is missing in these people.have a connection. you have to spae very different language and be very clear in what you're saying. they will interpret anything as being beneficial to them. these are people who torture animals because they can't defend themselves. >> we'll leave it there. doctors, thank you both very much indeed. it is fascinating material. we'll be right back. i gave birth to my daughter on may 18th, five days later, i had a massive heart attack. bayer aspirin was the first thing the emts gave me. now, i'm on a bayer aspirin regimen. [ male announcer ] be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. [ woman ] learn from my story. before you begin an aspirin regimen.

and historical explanation and i think people really appreciate that a lot of people are asking what do we do that and why how do we you know how do we change it and i think that's good to have that kind of response so here you go to if you want to change it there are various groups the grew up with the occupy movement actually in a round that there's one organization called reclaim the city that's been trying to strategize at the moment and try to kind of reclaim that portion of london for the rest of london in the country as a whole to to drag it into the democratic system i know there are a number of people looking at running for election again to the city of london corporation and they're going to try to make some changes from the inside but it requires you know the media the press to start paying attention to this not just to have finance stories on the back page shoved away for business people to read these things are relevant to our lives if you know the sun newspapers got a number of readers who have lost their jobs they need to start thinking about why those people have lost

[applause] they are people. they are people.they are some of my favorite people but they don't own, they don't own the turf that is ready to. so why is it cool versus uncool importantly it won an election. the reason people like barack obama is he is cool. he beat a war hero, a community activist and an organizer be the war hero for years ago. how did that happen? kessy was cool. it was cool to vote for him. the culture embraces fake gold is over real achievement. kids would rather play astronaut and actually be one. more interesting been famous than becoming a nation at and actually doing something. but i will say this. i am, there's a really big bright spot to president obama being reelected. it is like tearing off a band-aid. if he lost he would be bad for another four years. we would be 45 more% greater, which makes him more trustwort trustworthy. [laughter] so we are uncool. that's the way we are. that's how we are. i do believe that. i look at our message, what is our message? we like to build things, making things is cool

are people nervous? >> well, even though i think there's been some positive things unfolding-- and i think the most positive thing that's been unfolding is the fact that the markets have not collapsed desite this very significant risk that we could go off the cliff, we could have significant increases in taxes, reductions in spending, and that would lead to a recession in 2013. the market's been holding together fairly well, telling me-- and i think investors collectively tend to get this right-- that we're probably not going to go off the fiscal cliff or if we do go off the fiscal cliff it will be a small package of some tax increases, some spending cuts, but it's not going to put the economy into a recession. so what i've been telling clients is let's just hold the line right here. let's not sell precipitously. let's wait until we see the outcome. but right now i think there's a real good chance that the outcome could be positive or will muddle our way through this significant problem. >> ifill: let me

poor people, white poor people, black poor people, their life expectancy is not growing, and in someases is falling back. this is unbelievably cruel. and i can't believe we're discussion it. people should call the white house and say no, no, no. >> david cay johnston, great to have you with us tonight on "the ed show." thank you so much. >>> coming up, a critical issue affecting millions of workers. republicans put union-busting on the fast track in the state of michigan. even the president is weighing in. if you're an "ed show" viewer, you're not going the want to miss this. stay with us. we're right back. >>> we don't want a race to the bottom. we want a race to the top. >> thanks for stay with us on "the ed show" tonight. the president did something today he has rarely done before. he has taken sides on a local issue in the state of michigan. the lame duck republicans are trying to turn michigan into a right-to-work state. it means workers can take advantage of union wages and legal protections without paying any dues. it's union busting. and the republicans are doing it at a reco

we've all been in groups of people where maybe eight, ten people and one of the people, one of the peoplen this group is character disordered. they're a real sociopath, and over time though, if you can't get rid of them right away, that -- they change the entire dynamic, warp the dynamic of the group around their complaints and their sheer craziness. these people are that person in our national conversation. they're the crazy uncle at the table who you have to listen to his paranoid stories or he starts throwing food against the wall. >> let me go back to dana. how about a check on that, dana? is it true that the right is driven by these people who are secessionists? >> right. well, if you lose the election, nothing succeeds like secession. >> like secession. >> there's two things going on here. one is it's normal after elections that a lot of the losing side, they always say i'm going to move to canada, but these guys can't move to canada because it's socialized medicine up there. >> i thought it was australia they always wanted to go to. >> it's a protest against the election. this is r

people need to cry. people need to talk.ple want the stories of their loved ones to be known, and they're starting to come out. family members are starting to come out. >> that's very true. and even the family members that aren't ready to talk about it themselves maybe are designating friends or other family members. maybe not immediate family members to tell these stories for them because it is such a sensitive issue, but they do -- they do want their loved ones to be remembered. so they want -- you know, if it was a story of heroism, they want to be made known. >> and for all the little children and the simplicity of their lives that, you know, one of them is funny and the little girl who loved horses and one who loved art and would always draw pictures or make a card if she thought someone was feeling bad. it's almost unfathomable to think of what was lost, the futures that were lost, the opportunities that were lost and the families that have been shattered. >> mm-hmm. it really is. you know, i was just -- somebody in li

list of common people to help people tried to the smart.and broke loose says make money do not let them guilty you out. and monday from honor flight. >> would it aligned with the ayn rand philosophy to donate to a charity that alliance with your own self-interest? >> absolutely. ayn rand gave to charity but gave to causes she believed in battle lines with their own self-interest and 57 doesn't everybody? >> no. you shou get rid of them gilts. you don't deserve it. it is not in their self-interest when people are tilted into giving. >> you say the program comes to an end we tried to replicate with the future veterans of this country? >> absolutely. there are honor flight of said have moved on to currey of veterans many come to the homecoming this and see their reactions and we hear we hope you do this for the younger dies someday. >> seeing advertisements on an tv that say text red cross. is it effecve should we use that four hurricane sandy? >> the red cross has a unique role with disaster recovery, they have to do with. they are chartered

okay but people kill people with guns. are certain things we know about human behavior and certain things that we know when studies have shown, for example, mother jones had a great piece earlier this week that showed that in these mass shooting rampages, if there was somebody who was armed, they were more likely to either be shot or killed themselves. so more people with more guns is the clearly not the answer. better understanding the human behaviors when you combine those behaviors like domestic violence, like children who we know are very curious with the presence of a gun, we know that the likelihood of someone getting shot or killed goes up dramatically. >> no doubt. joy, let me read what best selling author joel c. rosenberg wrote on his blog about who is to blame. the further we turn away from god in our nation, the further we drive him out of our society and our schools, the worse things are getting. he then goes on to blame jon stewart, host of "the daily show" for a sketch he did mocking the war on christmas. is

people throw out things that are down. but i was sitting in to an intellectual question of government. this person said government should not worry about the nutrition of children. people don't think what that would mean. we all realize the society makes small amount of investment 30 you do not have to make the big investment late and we're deeply invested in the success of kids. the more hour e economy grows grows, teachers, professors, entrepreneurs, the greatest natural resources we have is our children. so i go back and say finally see what it is like to live off of food stamps or the snow program. i woke up and it was a big story. [laughter] i called my staff. [laughter] but it was a powerful thing. we're one of 14 cities in america that has a food policy director. we have done a lot of work to and expand affordable health the options. i said this is a great thing. not only raise the level of compassion and understanding to dispel bad stereotypes for those letter on snap but also the policy we could make at the local
