hood, texas. here's what we know. a local muslim leader says in a recent conversation with major nidal hasan he seemed almost incoherent. he said hasan never expressed anger toward the army but said something didn't seem right about him. investigators say hasan fired more than 100 rounds from two hand guns yesterday. 13 people were killed. two dozen of the 38 people wounded are still in the hospital. many are in intensive care. hasan, who was shot four times by a police officer, has been taken to brook army medical center in san antonio. he's in critical but stable condition and is under heavy guard. the flag-draped remains of the 12 soldiers and one civilian killed thursday were flown to dover air force base in delaware last night. autopsies are being done there. >>> it's not clear whether religion played any part in the ft. hood attack. muslim leaders are speaking up and they're among the harshest critics of the alleged gunman, nidal hasan. some not only condemn the crime, they also say they are okay with having mor

this last week, something started in "the texas to be an," which is a non-profit, online politco-like site that is very substantive. we will increasingly see the media responding to your desires. if there is demand, the market will respond. >> if you are depending on the media to solve this for you, you will be disappointed. we have evolved to a place where people need to have the ability to educate themselves. the media will do -- even saying the word does not mean anything anymore. what does that mean? you cannot compare what jeff as to what a eighthblogger does -- - a blogger does. they both produce content. what has happened through this evolution is the responsibility has moved to the voter, and i think the good news is that the tools are now available to the voter to go and be an educated consumer. that was not true 20 years ago. he did not have the ability to do that. i look at my daughter doing research for school. i think what it had not been easier if i had goal in high- school or college -- if i had google? if you are depending on nbc, "the new york times", or "time magazin

well, you can imagine the baptist editor in texas said, you've got to be kidding me! the protestant guy is giving a catholic answer to the question, and the catholic guy's giving the protestant answer to the question. [laughter] so kennedy was adamant, i'm not going to spend federal money on parochial schools. the last public policy issue had to do with birth control. the question was if a country from the developing world comes to the united states goth and says can you -- government and says can you give us development aid to provide birth control to our citizens, will you fund that as a catholic? because the catholic church was against birth control. and kennedy kind of oscillated a little bit but essentially said, no, i'm going to make that decision based on the policy facts at hand. i'm not as a catholic say, no, we can't do that. so he was able to say, look, these are the tangible issues that my faith might present, and here are my answer on them. and he gave what he thought was a catholic answer. now, it's certainly true you go back to the 19th century and in t

so from the very beginning johnson was not in favor of kennedy going to texas. he opposed the trip kennedy went to raise money and he wanted to get a measure of what was going to take place in texas, a key state. this is kennedy already come out for a civil rights bill and the whole issue of civil rights was turning the south into a space south. kennedy is trying to get a sense of how he's going to handle that. that's the last question we can take. i want to thank everybody for coming out tonight. i appreciate it.
