but rational but asked about what needed to be done to reduce gun violence in america pratt responded by perpetuating the absurd idea that more guns will reduce gun violence. we've got to get rid of the gun free schools and that just is a magnet for murder it's if you have in your evil heart to kill a lot of people that's a great place to go and it's just disgusting that we continue to disarm people who would otherwise be able to protect themselves and stop these dirtbags from doing these kinds of terrible things jim very quickly i think. it is in third grade and having guns in her school will not make the place any safer already school is say you like bodies piling up i see no good that's ridiculous move in this that's what happens that's all the that's really have any gun free zone. first of all mass murders do not occur in gun free zones study by mares against illegal guns found that only thirteen of fifty six mass shootings that occurred between january two thousand and nine and january two thousand and thirteen took place in so-called gun free zones and statistically schools are

he's here along with gun rights advocate larry pratt, the executive owner of gun openers of america. what law do you think might have blocked or stopped yesterday? >> i think we have to be careful and not try to have this discussion or set our national policy based on the last mass shooting that just happened. we failed those people, those people are already dead. we need to do things to prevent the next group of people from getting shot and killed, the people that will be killed today, tomorrow, next month. that's how we should have this conversation and what measures will stop the most dangerous people from obtaining firearms in the first place. >> but as you just hear, he passed the background check. >> there's no one policy that's going to stop all gun crimes, but what i think makes the most sense, what law enforcement tells us is requiring that same background check against all sales. he didn't have to go to that gun shop, he could have gone to a gun show, he could have gone to arms list.com and purchased more high-powered weaponry without a background check at all and it would

"where's my walking elephant, uncle saul?" so then we had to, in fact, figure out how to do that. >> my name is pete. i'm the inflatable robot assist. i'm the person who conserves and constructs and designs things inflatable. we have a shared

and so the question is, again, for dean pratt, what are the alternatives that are still out there? again for all of us, what are the alternatives that might produce a critical mass that were hoping for. >> i don't think the court intimates that proxies for race rok, even if you intended it to be a proxy for race. it's pretty clear that 10% plan is intended to be just that. and so, i am not worried that schools use proxies for race in the admissions process. i think that would be within the constitutional parameters of fisher. so i think you'd be on solid ground to do that. i agree with professor garcia. i don't dink you are going to get the critical mass that you are trying to achieve through race nature measures. i think very few jurisdictions would be able to do that. socioeconomic status is suggested. sociologists tend to consider race as a component of socioeconomic status. when we talk about scs, it's hard to disaggregate race in that equation. you could look at first-generation college, first-generation lawsuit and. those students are disproportionately minority, but there ar

so now you've got entities like boeing, pratt and whitney, and how does an other aerospace companies that all have record somewhere in the bowels of their computer systems about what my mother did in the '40s and 50s. and every time i call these people they always said the same answer, call our attorney. they would not give me one piece of information about her at all. even after she passed away they would give me nothing. the only help i got at all was rocketdyne provided me with three photographs, two of which we publish in the book. but as far as information, i guess i'm going to have to go to the freedom of information act or something, because they won't give me anything. it's still a big secret.

the white house says a potential encounter between president obama and iranian pratt hassan rue hanniroved to be just too complicated. the official said the iran yaps were not ready have an encounter at the presidential level. the white house said it was open to a meeting between the two leaders but the iranians indicated it was too complicated. earlier president obama spoke to the world leaders and dignitaries at the u.n. general assembly. in his address the president signaled a new willingness to directly engage iran's leader, ordering the secretary of state john kerry to pursue diplomatic talks. he said recent comments from iran's new president seem promising. >> president rouhani reiterated that the islamic republican will never develop a nuclear weapon. these statements made by our respective governments, should offer the basis for a meaningful agreement. >> the iranian president is set to speak at the u.n. a little more than 90 minutes from now, but for now, any possible meeting between the two leaders is not going to happen. let get to ed henry, live in new york. any indication

right to consider this russian proposal because if we had any chance of resolving this peacefully the prattthat. but the president has to take a very tough stance with the russians and syrians, and i expect he will do that. as you were saying, if there's going to be any u.n. security council resolution on sirarch that demands syria give up chemical weapons, it has to include what we call an enforcement mechanism there has to be the right of the u.s. and france to use force in case assad reneges on the deal. this is going to be really tough in the middle of a war zone to find all the chemical weapons with a cynical and dishonest government to ship them out of the country that's going to require teeth and an enforcement mechanism make the syrians do it, and the syrians are so unu trustworthy, if we don't haven't the enforcement mechanism, they'll promise and not do it. nows it's up to the american diplomats to be tough as nails with the russians at the security council in new york. >> shepard: when the russians at the last minute demands that the u.s. and allies forego military force, that sa

. >> i would agree with everything that dean pratt has said, and i actually have to talk to you later about some of these ideas and putting them out as vice i think to law schools. at least i didn't a lot of focus has been on law schools, and i think those of us have been in these institutions know we have spent less time than we probably should to what we're trying to achieve with policies like these and what kind of critical mass were kind of get in the classroom. and so i think a lease in terms of our own backyards, we serve should have more conversations, not fewer, about what we are trying to achieve with our mission policies. for institutions, undergrad institutions, obviously it's a much more difficult and wide ranging discussion. so i understand the complexity of that, but really i think it highlights the need for more outreach. you know, again, in spite of what's going on, getting the message out, the welcome mat really out in terms of these institutions to people of different backgrounds. and so, so again, that's one of the things we can all do. >> i want to thank her for se

on the chromecast that just came out, it works across pratt forms. it -- platforms. it doesn't only work with google's android operating system devices. it works with apple's devices. and on a windows computer or a mac with google's browser which is called chrome. it'll work with that. so if you have a windows laptop and the chrome browser and you want to go to the youtube site, you want to watch a youtube video on your tv screen, it'll work. so google is cross-platform, apple is apple only. this is not an uncommon thing. and then the downside is that chromecast so far only works with a handful of apps. on android devices it works with four apps. four out of a million. and it works with -- and they're important apps for video, so it works with netflix, youtube -- which google owns -- and then google's own video and music apps. there's only really one app that google doesn't own. on the iphone it works with netflix and youtube. and in my tests, the reason i gave it a good review was it worked. i tried it on an old tv, an old hd-tv and a newer one. i tried it on androi
