figure most of our kids in our community are gangbangers or drug dealers, don't go to school, are uneducatedhave fathers or mothers. i think a lot of people look at us like that. and that's not true. when my son was murdered, i got a letter in the mail, it wasn't a week later. somebody found out where i lived. they mailed me a letter saying, had somebody on the bus been armed, if everybody on the bus had a gun, had been armed, my son would be alive. no, i think a lot of the people on the bus would be dead today. >> reporter: following her son's death, nance-holt co- founded "purpose over pain," an organization that advocates for gun control. last week she met with vice president biden's task force on gun violence. what is the something that we have to do? >> first, the mothers and fathers who have lost their children to violence raise up and say something now. it's hard. i know it's hard to stand up. but we all need to stand up and give our voices. we need to write politicians. we need to call them. we need to march. we need to rally. >> reporter: what would you say to the national rifle ass

thinking about the fact if organizers are treat this had way, how much more the tenants who are uneducated about their rights are are being treated. we can see tenants are not present or not that many of them at least. the lack of preps is the proof of the fact that our efforts for outreach were not successful. we organizers have gone ourselves to speak with tenants. each time we are denied access and asked to get out of the building. the tenants at the war 1850s are on fixed income and most of them are on ssi or iga. they are afraid to come out and speak against the managers because they will be evicted. a specific example, just the other day i was waiting outside to speak to as many tenants as -- whom i could talk to because i was not allowed to go inside. when i was speak tog one of the tenants, they said let's go somewhere they can't see us because i'm afraid if they see me talking to someone from the collaborative they are going to -- they won't, you know, they're going to treat us differently. and i asked and they said, they don't open the door for us when we want to go in and they'r

the buddhist thought is, you'll be able to express what that is to a fisherman, to someone who's uneducated. you don't have to do it with high concepts. it can be done in a very simple, heart-to-heart way, and this is what he does. i mean, highly scholastic kind of person. he has triple degrees within his system of doctorates in philosophy and psychology and allied disciplines, but can speak to anyone heart-to-heart about the highest aspirations of a human being. tavis: what's been the -- i'm curious, what's been the greatest take-away for you from this faith journey that you have been on? >> the take-away? tavis: yeah. what have you taken away, what's been the greatest joy for you? >> expansion. tavis: expansion. >> just everything expands. i was really on a journey as a kid, and i call it a dissonance, a very real dissonance between what i had been told the world and reality is and the nature of my own mind, and what my heart was telling me. it wasn't the same. i felt inside of me an incredible sense of expansion and possibility, but the world has so many boundaries around it in the way w

prison i've seen three or four were cars through easy for people who are drug they're watching for uneducated people. like me to make sausage. the documentary recently won the two thousand and twelve grand jury prize at the sundance film festival producer david kuhn joined me earlier to talk about the film and explain why mandatory sentencing is such a problem right now. well you heard julie stewart in the segment you ran there say when you put someone in jail from a family you affect the whole family and part of what's happening is people are being put away for a long time for drug offenses we think it's a health problem more than a punishment problem when you have mandatory minimums you take away discretion from the court or the system itself and you remove the ability to treat it like a health problem and say well this person has to get ten years of this person has to get twenty years and they go away for a long time and we don't really fix the problem we just stuck with the result and it's not working ok so let's talk about the people being sentenced are and also how long the sentences us

but uma, if i were to introduce a law that if you are uneducated, you can't have a blog, you would go nuts and appropriately so. you would say that is not the proper analysis under the first amendment. all i am asking, don't give me political talking points or gimmick, make the argument from a constitutional perspective and applying the proper level of executiny that government can restrict this right. also keep in mind, we already have gun control. there are controls on who can have them and where they can have them and what type of guns you have. it is not like you have an unfettered right to process the guns that you want to. we acknowledge we already have it and fine tout if it is enforced aggressively enough and if not, from a constitutional perspective. what can we do to make the world a safer place for our children. >> i want to ask you quickly. did you get an answer to the level that you sent to the attorney generall? >> i have not yet. i used to work for the department of justice and i know they are busy and i am sure they know inun dated. they are working on it . i take them

. >> completely uneducated. just a00. en what about you? i'm going to refrain until friday. >> all right. imhe. >> i'm still doing my research. >> j. c. pepee is not on the fence about this. they are bringing back their sales after a little while? >> okay. so a year ago, exactly a year ago, j. c. penney had this revolutionary new strategy that they were going to wean customers off sales by giving them a sale price every day. it didn't work. customers hated it. the sales went away. the customers went away. they are need to get the customers back so it is changing its pricing strategy. they will show you the comparable value for an item and what they have charge. they will have new tags showing you that so you can see how much you are saving and essentially bringing the idea of a sale back because they realize that is what customers really lock for. they all found out so much about shoppers during this failed year of trying to change their pricing strategy is that customers buy things when they need things and whether they need to go shopping

. >> now for that all of this idiotic and shameful thing goes on of how could an uneducated man, peasantwrite what you need to be from the courts to be a gentleman, to have higher education, to do this? this is the most scandalous, snobbish attitude because it is a genius. and this is a very interesting relation to leonardo. leonardo was from an italian village and i think a fairly poor man and let's recognize jesus christ didn't come from the top level of people he was a poor man but unique. so it is unique. >> genius can come from simplicity and the commonplace. >> it's an extraordinary capacity which i think that he could collect in a few weeks even of listening, watching, and getting enough impressions to write a great play. >> i've always wanted to know why you were obsessed by minimalism in theater. >> i never have been. and i've tried to say this to dissuade any young director -- >> rose: who believes you are? >> who believe this is and believes that -- this is an end product. i started with a love of trying out everything and -- in life and in the theater, excess. and i plunged i

they were mostly uneducated, as the graduates and dropouts who were told they were fighting communism save america. they spent 10 or 11 weeks in vietnam, humping it in the boonies in the villages and paddies of south vietnam and never saw the enemy. maybe they lost 15% or 20% of their companies through land mines, snipers, etc., but never engaged. and between the time they landed around the year's day until march 16, they became increasingly brutal, randomly going to a village and walking people. sometimes there would just hit an all men and no one says anything. what happens when you do not see organized enemy and you lose your buddies and you are angry, you take it out on the villagers, the civilian population. >> that was sy hersh speaking about the my lai massacre.c in your book, nick turse, the talk about the testimony of soldiers who spoke of my lai each month for a year and saying these types of atrocities were carried out by every single unit that was deployed in vietnam. can you talk about what you found in the u.s. government archives that speak to this level of killing that

convinced their labors could be kept, controlled, and worked profitably only if they were kept uneducated, uninformed, isolated from dangerous influences, closely watched, intimidated, and convinced that their status as slaves was permanent and unchangeable. to accomplish that, so-communities and state legislatures made it a crime to teach slaves to read, severely limited slaves' movements off their owners' property, created and beefed up slave patrols to enforce those limits. severely restricted the freedoms of the small community of free blacks who lived in the slave states and made it ever more difficult, even for whatever masters might choose to do so, to voluntarily free even their own slaves. to keep slaves convinced that both escape and resistance was hopeless forever more, required that the white population bede pend blue and visibly united in support of black servitude, and ready to enforce that servitude, because to allow the appearance and allow the spread of antislavery sentiments among the white population, white disspell the aura of inevidentability, impregnancy with which s

a tremendous amount of discrimination and just outright abuse of women, you know, particularly uneducateden. when you put barriers in the way of half the population, you in effect, are putting brakes on your own development as a nation. >> hillary clinton and her final global town hall today calling this the cause of her life. joining me now is ed rendell, former pennsylvania governor, former clinton supporter, and, of course, an msnbc news political analyst. thank you very much, governor. good to see you. >> good afternoon. >> hillary clinton, granted, it's early to talk about 2016, but that interview, the joint interview with the president was pretty unusual. what is the signal that it sends? >> well, i think the signal is that president obama has an incredible level of appreciation for the way that she conducted her business and the way they came together as individuals. not ju as partners. but adds individuals wrb. i think down the road if hillary decides to run president obama will be the sort of peace maker who talks to the vice president. i love joe biden. i think he has done a gre

so george grows up without his father, and he grows up basically milking cows, and he's uneducated and untraveled. and he longs to be this great man on the world stage, you know, a british officer and such. so washington basically tries to court older, wealthy women. and as a kid he shows up at homes of leading families in the tidewater region of virginia outside of washington in alexandria and such, basically, you know, knocking on the door with a broken-down mule and probably a hole in his trousers, and you can imagine these fathers slamming the door in his face, you know, as if, right? and george would go back and put pen to paper and write poetry about a broken heart. so george always has this interest of becoming an important man and has a plan to marry an older, wealthy woman. when he's a young man, he meets sally fairfax. having read some of the surviving accounts, i believe that they felt strongly for one another. beyond that i don't know, and i suspect maybe not much more. but here's what we do know. sally was old orer than george -- older than george. sally was considered per

they depict me as a man speaking with a broken accent, being uneducated.e marco rubio talking for me. >> stephanie: mike i don't think anybody disagrees we have a broken immigration system. i don't think anyone disagrees with legal immigration. if they want to try to make this quote-unquote path to citizenship so egregious -- listen, as john mccain even said yesterday these people have been here doing all of this work for years and years and years. if you want to make it so punitive, that's not going to work either. do you think? >> who was the labor force during the second world war when all of the men of the united states were overseas fighting? they came up here and they have been here ever since. the thing is, too i have an agenda. back in the '70s and '80s for the farm growers trying to help them. the thing is that they're trying to split the vote. they're trying to say this. marco rubio can represent the couple hundred thousand in florida. and the illegal aliens which can vote but there are millions and millions and millions of us here in this countr

it was uneducated -- it occasional book about how to talk to your kids about the cult subject that they might run into. that is why the format is like an illustrated picture book for kids that as i got deeper into the subject and started looking into coca which ford jenna lee as i thought was relevant to children's lives, not so far removed, there are families involved in the aggressive policy is to eradicate coca but that is a family issue and a social and cultural issue but as i got deeper into the history of coca specifically the relationship to the coca-cola company, the origins of cocaine from a medical marvel to the drug problem we have today, it got really complicated and now e-book for adults. i also started back before coca, "a secret history of coffee, coca and cola," i started with coffee because i wanted to do a comparison of something that always fascinated me, changed the perceptions of these change over time. the cultural perception, legal, social perceptions, i was inspired by michael collins's book about the history of four different plants, when being apples. they were

he is right that the ethics of this regime is different and they use poor, uneducated kids to achieve their strategic objective. the iranian ruler makes the calculations on the basis to expedite their own departure to the next world. [applause] >> let's move on to the theme of nuclear proliferation and it is a key one. to do that, over the last week or so we caught up with a few international policy thinkers to get their reflection on this debate. the first of these was senator george mitchell who we spoke to in wards earlier this week. he was barack obama's u.s. specialist on middle east million until 2011. >> good evening. the debate on this suggest has tended to focus on the threat to israel from a nuclear-armed iran. that is a serious concern which i share and i'm sure it will be discussed this evening. there is another aspect of the subject that i think deserves discussion as well and that is the threat to the nuclear nonproliferation regime or stated more simply, the danger of the spread of nuclear weapons to many countries. the united states led the world into the nuclear age a

i guess they thought that we were all uneducated?the stereotypes of west virginia. >> reporter: waitresses at the first watch diner are angry that west virginians are being portrayed as rowdy rednecks. >> reporter: if i were to do a reality show, what would it look like? >> hard-working people who work hard for their family and that means sometimes working two or three jobs. >> reporter: we're here now. and we're passing buddy b's market. >> yep. it's been there a long time. >> reporter: before he was mayor of charleston, danny jones was the mayor of charleston oversee overseeing sissonville. >> you can find all kinds of people that live in sissonville, wj, a west virginia, and they're not like the people that will be portrayed in "buckwild." >> reporter: sound familiar? it should. >> they're not from new jersey. they parachuted these losers into new jersey. >> reporter: like the garden state's famously feisty governor, west virginia's majyo joe manchin also -- >> kids with heavy equipment. >> reporter: still, not everyone's down on

gangs meaning uneducated, unemployed youth.he joe biden commission could eliminate just how different, say, chicago is from rural north dakota, for example. that's why when someone says one should not fit all. i think they're right. that's why we should talk to each other, just react. you may have a different zone for hunting and for house security than have these weapons on the streets where we see they've gone from individual shots to shooting police, they shot up theaters, shot up children. if they escalate to shooting down our infrastructure, what does it matter, if you, in fact, have securities at the airport, if you're going to the airplane, and someone can shoot airplanes down? that is too great a risk at a time like this with terrorism on the loose. we really are talking about a plan. >> i want to get your thought on what the nra had proposed, wayne lapierre, the head of the nra. he said, we should put an armed officer in every school in america. is there anything about that that works for you? >> no, it's impractical.

. >> when it comes to these two very different awards, i'm wondering, and, again, very uneducated ino you think is the most? >> that's why i'm here. >> exactly. which do you think is the most democratic? >> oh, golly. none of them. i think that -- i don't know that it's so much about democracy. i mean, aside from just them tallying votes. but, you know, it's hollywood and there's publicly cysts and everybody is making a big run for a big prize that means a lot for their company, their revenue. and so it's not entirely based on what should win, because it's the best film. i hate to say it. but it really is a race to see, you know, who is the most popular. sometimes these award seasons seems like high school with better dresses. >> you know, there's a lot of lobbyinging, i know that goes on. i've been in l.a. and seen the billboards that go up and mailings that go out. does this have an impact when it comes to the oscars and who wins? >> unequivocally, yes. it absolutely has an effect. the fresher you can stay in a nominator's mind, the better off you are. and when it's voting time, of

he can -- what is this obsession with men speaking about women's issues in a horribly, sort of uneducatedd say uncovers how little these men know about women. >> john: exactly. >> that's the key. one of the keys. we're coming up on the sandra fluke anniversary. what did limbaugh show us among his hatred and then the sexism. lack of understanding of how contraception works. >> i met her for the first time in d.c. over inauguration weekend. it was very hard -- very rarely am sort of awe-struck by anyone. the nature of this business. it was hard not to say to her just thank you! thank you for just standing up and being strong and taking the heat for something that so many of us believe in. and it was just that moment of i didn't know what to say to her other than thank you. >> she seems strong. she's pmsing! >> john: i think that men think that pms is this biological phenomenon that gives women a license to bitch. and men are like that all month long but lack a medical excuse for it. i call this pms envy. >> i'm happy to give you my pms. if you want that excuse, you can have it. >> john: you

is we're actually going after the latino community because in some way this is an impoverished, uneducatedand customers find that insulting. if a supermarket chain begins to operate or opens up a new store in an area that is economically deprived, they're cheered and applauded. because they are bringing good knew trigs, they're bringing jobs to that community. yet when we support the latino community in some way this is a company going after people who aren't able to make an educated decision regarding their nutrition? frankly it's insulting to us, it's insulting to our customers, it's insulting to the ebb tire latino community. >> des, i sat through bill ackman's presentation live and one of the most compelling parts of it was when he put up images of your brochure for herbalife clothes which looked beautiful and gorgeous, and then went in what he described as real life, they sent cameras around the country to look at some of these quote/unquote clubs and they looked very different. they look nothing like the brochure. they had no signage on the outside. there was no lights. literally the

men who are gay in this state are not pork, they are not an agitated, and they -- not poor, not uneducated, and they are long on opportunity. i think the issue of not allowing people to have a say on what their preference is is a difficult and unpleasant hill to swallow. we've spent a lot of money on this issue, in particular aids. we have poured millions and millions and millions of dollars into this issue. we are aware that many men in this state would like to have proposition 8 overturned simply because of the financial benefits that would come to them and their partners. host: gloria, thanks for the call. kevin cathcart. guest: there is an awful lot in there and let me try to make three points. first of all, i don't think that most people who want to get married want to do so because of financial benefits. studies have shown that when people want to get married, they want to do so because of love and family and legal protections. there is definitely amiss in our society that -- a myth in our society that gay people look like me. i am a white man and i am representing gay people on this
