his father ron thomas. has given to really try to keep this in the media putting stuff out on social media and really trying to get people involved in about the actions that the fullerton police have been taking over the last couple years in this case and really quickly when we have about thirty seconds but i cannot what is the prosecution saying and how is that going to far in the case. really interesting yesterday in opening statements is that. defense attorney actually said that police didn't use enough force as they try to say that officers were calling for help because thomas was so violent and again prosecutors were expecting this that they're trying to trying to put kelly thomas on trial and distracting the jury from the actual events of that day trying to put something that happened in the ninety's and trying to put it in context to this confrontation that he had with ramos unbelievable thank you so much for being on the ground covering this really important story ramona. you bet coming up i'll talk

thomas didn't give up. trying to handcuff somebody who doesn't want to be handcuffed is not an easy task. the officers were holding down his shoulders, they were holding down his legs so he couldn't kick them, and, finally, they were able to get him handcuffed. >> anthony thomas is finally subdued and cuffed and taken to the lorain county jail. >> mr. thomas came into the department on a contempt-of- court charge, which is a low-grade misdemeanor. he left our department with a felony assaulting an officer charge. all when he was going to be released on a summons for the first one. sneemplts. >> thomas pleads guilty to salt on a officer. >> thomas pleads not guilty to the felony assault charge. he's awaiting trial. officer whit sustains minor injuries. he's back at work on his next scheduled shift after the attack. >> we do not have time to be afraid. we react. if you want to be afraid or you want to think about the events or think about the dangers, it happens afterwards. that's when you think to yourself,

given thomas' history of dealing with infractions as a spy for the u.s. side he himself had racked up enough to merits to be kicked out of the air force two and he was in two thousand and twelve just six months before graduating he thought the u.s. i would defend him at his hearing but instead he was left hanging in the air force denied such a program existed but earlier i spoke with the investigative reporter at the colorado springs because that who broke this story dave phillips and i first asked if the air force is still sticking to its denial now that this story has been broken open. no i think they just came out yesterday and said yes we used this program although they wouldn't say how much or give any details but they said you know if it works we're allowed to use it and they defended it so one of the things that really struck me about it that using informants at the air force academy is the academy takes its honor code varies hugely day. require cadet never to lie in fact if you get caught lying you get kicked out for one and. but at the same time

thomas? >> kelly, let's go back and take everybody inside what's going on in senate chambers right now. this round-the-clock talk-a-thon over some of the president's judicial nominees. we know harry reid and mitch mcconnell, they've given the indication they want to dig in here. but is it true that this could really keep the senate in town through christmas? >> christmas is on the table, as they say, but not that likely. what's happening right now is that republicans are requiring the senate to use all of the time that is prescribed under the rules to consider each nominee. they have the option of saying we know these nominees will eventually be confirmed, so let's give back that time. let's move the process along. let's do it more expediently. it's their right not to do that. and really what we're seeing is a form of protest. they don't like that democrats change the rules on how some nominees are confirmed, and so they are forcing the senate to go through a painful process of using the floo

thomas i was asking your thoughts and what you lad made from your film, lessons that will never leave you? >> well, the persistence, the vision, that justice will win out. then the most dire circumstances of my dad not having a job, no one knowing about south africa. there being a complete white out the cruelties of the apartheid regime. that the anc was viewed as a communist group, that continuing to fight is good fight, and educate people, and continuing to keep one's own commitment to better once self, and to stay the course, when everything looked like there was no possible of hope, no possibility of south africa becoming free, that was an amazing vision. and that pass down to me, that was -- i think that vision came from nelson mandela. knowing that he was staying the course, despite being locked in prison. and doing grueling manual , and demeaning circumstances. that he was actually able to continue the course. that's been passed down. and that's what i learned. and so it gives me hope, for the future. >> let me see -- here is some of the singing and chanting that is going on no

>> reporter: hi, thomas. first of all, russian officials have declared a state of emergency in volgograd while officials have said this morning's bus bomb was carried out by a male suicide bomber. they are going under the strong suspicion that this is all about an attack, a series of attacks by islamic terrorists, islamic militants. investigators in volgograd have now started, we understand, to make connections, links between the two attacks, the most recent attacks. they're saying that the same group they believe or a cell carried out both the train and trolley bus bombings, that the explosives used, like the shrapnel used to maximize carnage, were extremely similar. investigators are also linking the bombings to a public appeal, if you recall, made several months ago by the chechen war lord, an appeal directly, publicly to his men to kill civilians and disrupt the upcoming sochi winter olympics, an event which of course russian president vladimir putin has staked his prestige on. which is why he's deployed

robin thomas joins me now. thanks for being here. your study also found 21 states passed some form of gun legislation over the past year, but based on your report, do you think that some states are going to pass stiffer legislation instead of waiting for congress where, i point out this is stalled? >> absolutely. i think that what you're going to see in 2014 is that similar to 2013 where our federal legislators are failing to act and to step up to protect our communities, state legislators and governors are stepping up to fill that gap. they're passing laws that protect communities and make our streets safer, that make our schools safer and they're getting support from their communities. we know that 97% of americans support these regulations and somebody is needing to respond to that and that's happening at the state level. we've been so proud and thrilled with what's happened in the last year and we look forward to continuing that. >> and a lot of people out there across this country that look at the constitutional amendment for th

>> yeah, i think this poll is something for hillary clinton partisans to worry about, thomas.'s not just a stand-alone number. i've seen other polls from purple states, colorado, ohio and so on that show christie competitive with her or ahead of her. there's a little paradox i can't quite put my finger on. she's the most admired woman in america for 17 of the last 20 years. she left the state department with an approval rating in the mid-70s. and yet as a potential presidential candidate, can't quite make the sale with independent voters, among whom christie led her in this poll. so she's got some work to do there with independent voters, despite her high personal standing. >> okay. so let's look at that specifically, corey, with the independents and the breakdown of this poll because it would suggest chris christie leading clinton by nine points in the independent area. we also see a pretty significant gender gap here. hillary clinton leading with women voters by nearly 20%. chris christie leading male voters by 12 points. so how concerned should both parties be about these n

i did thomas roberts. great to have you with me. topping our agenda today, paul ryan just moments ago defending his budget agreement with democratic senator patty murray. both sides of the aisle are leery about this deal and house democrats spoke to reporters this morning with minority lead nancy pelosi saying she is optimistic but is outraged that the deal does not include a key benefit for the unemployed. >> it's absolutely unconscionable that we are -- could possibly even consider leaving washington, d.c., without extending those benefits. >> so this deal sets spending at just over $1 trillion, replaces a $63 billion in sequester cuts and cuts the deficit by between $20 and $23 billion. one of the most conservative republicans in congress says he cannot support it and on "morning joe" senator tom coburn said whole he thinks it's the best ryan could do, the word "sellout" came up. >> he has led to make a compromise that sells out what actually needs to be done. >> you just called paul ryan a sellout. >> no, no. >> i feel like if y

absolutely, thomas.he main point that has to be made is that the current system before the aca is absolutely dysfunctional. 48 million people, no health insurance. we spent twice as much per capita on health care as the people of any other nation. if we spent what other nations spent on health care, we'd save $900 billion a year. 45,000 people die in this con electroeve -- country every year because they don't have insurance and don't get to the doctor on time. we pay the highest price in the world on prescription drugs. this is a system that cannot last. in my view, i think we should be moving toward a medicare for all single payer system. but the aca is a step forward. 20 million people have more health insurance. we end the disaster of the obscenity, the obscenity of this pre-existing conditions imposed upon us by the insurance companies. now, the good news is the website appears to be functioning better. some states are doing very, very well. let's continue the effort, let's make sure that we are as
