and ask people to who ves ideas to log on to the sandy hook promise website and that is sandy hook promise, all one word,.org. it is intended to dove tail with the government and also to expand the scope of that beyond the areas that the government's efforts will cover. this will result in the most rapid and thorough exploration of new innovations that will help us reduce gun violence and reduce gun violence against our children. later this afternoon, the technology committee will be meeting and we will work on creating the structure and the promise to insure that all of the innovative ideas that we receive are developed and funded at the highest level possible. technology has proven itself successful in addressing some of our saturday's greatest challenges. and so today, we call on all of us to turn our attention and our energy towards ending gun violence against our children. thank you. >> joining us on stage are mark and jackie barton. >> first thing that we would like to say is thank you. thank you to the tech community. for putting your time and effort and research into this. and we w

sandy hook promise, innovation initiative. and in the days immediately after the december 14th tragedy, leaders from the tech community, including ron con way and others have shown incredible support for newtown. we are so grateful for their support and we are eager to start working alongside with them to innovate our way to a safer nation. with that, i would like to introduce ron con way. >> thank you. i want to first recognize the families in the front row. we have three families from sandy hook itself, families who lost children, in the tragedy. and then, we also have three local families. and all of you are national heroes. and instead of being bitter, after you lost your children, you are taking action to make the world a better place. you are national heroes. i am new to this issue. i became friends with gabby giffords last year, my good friend, larine jobs introduced me to gabby and mark and we instantly became friends. my wife and i started doing work on gabby and mark's effort which was then the institute for civil di

sandy has no ideology. no ideology in sandy. there's no polarization when sandy hit here.t was a horrific storm that destroyed communities up and down the new jersey shore and the rockways and everything else like that. now they have to deal with the bureaucracy involved in american politics. >> i got to say, i don't understand this, jon meacham, being from pensacola, going through probably, six, seven hurricanes and rebuildings, seeing how quickly we responded in the south to these disasters, how quickly leaders in florida, after, of course, hurricane andrew in 1992 which was a disaster but how quickly and florida and alabama and mississippi leaders respond to these storms. i am stunned by how slowly the response has been to sandy and i don't know why it's taking so long. >> the other reason this is so important is, you know, tlas and old joke in journalism that if a weather story happens to you, otherwise, it's not interesting. given what has happened with extreme weather, given what has happened along all of the coastlines this is going to happen more and more and more

plus, continuing coverage of sandy's aftermath. scope of which pictures like these from nasa can hardly capture some 87,000 homes and apartments damaged and that is just here in new jersey. now, all these months later, some families are still waiting for their insurance money. that's ahead on this special edition of the fox report live tonight from seaside heights. it's not all the brilliant engineering, no. it's this that makes a husqvarna! cheryl burke is cha-cha-ing in depend silhouette briefs for charity, to prove that with soft fabric and waistband, the best protection looks, fits, and feels just like underwear. get a free sample and try for yourself. >> shepard: city in the nation to enter into bankruptcy protection. and that could set a precedent struggle glings cities all across our country. a judge accepted stockton's bankruptcy application today. a city of 300,000 people basic salary ares and benefits and loans on projections made before the great recession. when times got tough, the city simply couldn't pay its bills. th

i went board sky fox to see how sandy redrew the coastline in new york. areas including the rockaways, staten island here's before the hurricane, and here's how it looks now. hundreds of miles of dunes, washed away. leaving homes more vulnerable than they had ever been for future storms. we'll have team coverage throughouting the hour. jonathan hunt is north of news new jersey, speaking to business owners, some moving to temporary location so is they can open. and rick leventhal who was here when the storm hit, and he is in bay head. and shannon is live in d.c. where emergency management officials redrew the nation's flood maps after superstorm sandy. that triggered more insurance problems bought thousands of homes previously on safe ground are now in the flood zone. that's all ahead on this special edition of "studio b." >> but first, the feds and local law enforcement in the state of texas say they high alert after a killer or killers gunned down another district attorney and his wife in their home. the assassination of this particular man, the kaufman

i have a first grader at sandy hook. by the grace of god she was shoved in the bathroom along with her 14 friends and her teacher. i won't begin to tell you the things that she says and draws right now. and it's progressively getting worse. so anything we can do for our community. but i think we need to get in the same page. and if someone does speak tomorrow, let's all be on the same page. >> there's a huge silent majority out there that i believe is easily motivated not to be silent any more if we give them the tools. and that's what we're working towards. >> when you go out and you advocate, your power is 1,000 to one, because people aren't showing up. and the fact that you're from newtown is even more important. >> i feel like our grief puts us in a unique position of power. and i actually believe that we can, with that power, help level the playing field with the special interests that are out there. >> and i do think the tide is turning, but our window right now is extremely limited. this is going to move very, ver

and then the straw that broke the camel's back, the shooting at sandy hook elementary school. the open question after that was would the sheer horror of that event and the images of these dead children shake up something about the political status quo that had previously benefitted the small and intense and well organized anti-gun regulation group? when legislation expanding background checks crafted with nra consultation by a bipartisan coalition of senators went down under the weight of a filibuster, it would not have been crazy to conclude at that point that the answer was sadly no. the politics on the issue were set and a single tragedy or even a series of monstrous tragedies no matter how awful would not fundamentally alter them. and even though background checks were polling at 91% approval with 88% support among republicans and 88% support among gun owners, i, myself, was genuinely skeptical from the very beginning that polling meant anything at all. in fact, almost by definition, something that polls at 90% is something that people don't care much about. it's very easy

six months after superstorm sandy hit the coasts. allinothat and more on "nightly business report," monday april 29th. good evening, everyone. we had a nice start to the week for investors. stocks opened up and kept on going. >> yeah, a little bit of a surprise, but it was one of those days. it has been a few weeks indeed since we said this, but it was another record-setting day on wall street with stocks getting a big boost. pending home sales, contracts that assigned, not yet closed rose 1.5% in march. and personal income and consumer spending rose two-tenths of 1% in march. the dow rose 106 points days. nasdaq good for a 12 1/2-year high. and the s&p 500 closed 11 points higher, ending the session at 1593.61, tenths of a point above the old record close. things may just be warming up. on wednesday we'll get the latest road on how much homes are selling for. and federal reserve policy makers will wrap up a two-day meeting on interest rates and those billions in monthly asset purchases. and then on friday, the big economic report of

at the sandy hook elementary school shooting. on that day, mentally unstable gunman changed our lives and the lives of more than 25 other families in one of the worst ways imaginable. we are devastated. in the wake of our grief, and desperate to understand why someone would kill innocent children why someone would kill my child, we started the aveil foundation. jeremy and i are going to play to our strengths and answer the why. we are scientists and we see the world through an imp erical lens. we established the foundation to address the causes of violence through a focus on brain health. i want to start using this term brain health. because mental health is intangible. it comes with some degree of trepidation and stigma. but we know that there are real physical, manifestations within the brain that can be imaged, measured, quantified and understood. we can work with that. and then, we can fix it. we know that people who commit these crimes are sick. it is not a coincidence that so many of these tragedies are perpetrated by young

up next, they almost lost their home to super storm sandy. now, will they lose it to foreclosure? >> every year we pick a new city to explore. >> but, thanks to hotwire, this year we got to take an extra trip, because they get us ridiculously low prices on really nice hotels and car rentals. bostohe ring-- even caught a game. to saanmo saved,a tr >> you see, hotwire checks the competition's rates every day, so they can guarantee their low prices. >> so where to next? >> how about there? >> men: ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e, hotwire.com. ♪ [♪...] >> i've been training all year for the big race in chicago, but i can only afford one trip. and i just found out my best friend is getting married in l.a. there's no way i'm missing that. then i heard about hotwire and i realized i could actually afford both trips. see, when really nice hotels have unsold rooms, they use hotwire to fill them. so i got my four-star hotels for half-price! >> men: ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e ♪ hotwire.com >> announcer: save big on car rentals too, from $12.95 a day. administration has now granted a one-year postponement of mortgage p

>> since sandy our organization initially 99% of our members were struck by sandy. and we were digging ourselves out. after a few weeks we got our selve sa selves up and running. people were very generous and gave us donations of over $1 million. our board of drirectors decided that money would go out to the sandy victims. what we do each week we review the requests from people in our neighborhood and handed out directly to sandy victims. >> and steve a lot of people have been talking about the tremendous coordinated government response. governor christie said he thought obama kept his word on that. you are doing this through private donations and private community service. do you think this is an example of hitting the right balance between the public and private response? >> well, we heard about the $50 billion that was going to make it out to the people in the community that the president signed a bill for the relief. it is good to hear about it but better to see it. a lot of our people aren't getting to see that money because the bureaucracy is causing problems

we thought that would pass easy a few months after sandy hook. i think what the american people are discovering is that their representatives are more beholden and more loyal to an industry association, the nra which represents gunmakers, than they are to the constituents' health and safety. and i think that makes constituents angry. >> the question is, what is changeable here? was it the attention of the president? was it, tom, the president's calling people out on the day it failed, which i think is in a really fascinating way captured everybody's attention and imagination. he didn't let it just go down to defeat without sort of putting a lantern on it and saying look at what they just did. do you that's part of what's playing a role here? >> i think the president's really important, but i think that a lot of politicians overestimate the power of the nra. we've consistently found in our national polling that voters by about a 15-point margin are less likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by the nra. the nra's not that popular. the nra has a 4

>>> when superstorm sandy made landfall on october the 29th of last year, it was already one of the largest hurricanes on record in the atlantic. 115 miles per hour in terms of winds and 13-foot storm surges devastated many coastal towns all across the eastern seaboard. for the nearly 3,000 residents here in seaside heights, new jersey, life is just now getting back to normal. good morning, everyone. i'm brian shactman and this is a special edition of "way too early," six months after hurricane sandy. all morning long, we'll be focusing on the storm's victims and what they're doing to bring the shore back to life. some of what was lost will absolutely never be restored. it was the second costliest storm in u.s. history behind only katrina, but the region continues to pick up the pieces and rebuild. and while the government has played a major role in getting these towns back on their feet, it's the people, the neighbors helping neighbors, who have put the area on a path to recovery. throughout the morning, we'll be live from some of the hardest-hit locations. joe and mika will be in asbury p
