wayne lapierre made them legal ten years ago. wayne lapierre made no public statement whatsoever after the movie theater mass murder. after that mass murder, so successfully used the weapon systems that wayne lapierre made available to him. instead, wayne lapierre simply sent out a letter, a letter asking for money. asking for contributions to the nra over and above dues. and as with every solicitation of money, wayne lapierre lied to every poor fool who fell for it. he said in his letter "nothing less than the future of our country and our freedom will be at stake." wayne lapierre did not announce today a national shopping mall parking lot shield program. because wayne lapierre has no suggestion about how to prevent or even in some way inhibit, maybe just somehow reduce the possibility of what happened to 9-year-old christina taylor greene, who was murdered because she chose to stand in a parking lot in tucson, arizona, and listen to her congresswoman, gabrielle giffords. wayne lapierre is all for having a police officer protect

wayne? >> good morning. the national rifle association, 4 million mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters join the nation in horror, outrage, grief, and earnest prayer for the families of newtown, connecticut, who have suffered such an incomprehensible loss as a rul of thesult of this unspea crime. out of respect for the families and until the facts are known, the nra has refrained from comme comment. while some have tried to exploit tragedy for political gain, we have remained respectfully silent. now, we must speak for the safety of our nation's children because for all the noise and anger directed at us over the past week, no one, nobody has addressed the most important, pressing, and immediate question we face. how do we protect our children right now, starting today, in a way that we know works? the only way to answer that question is to face the truth. politicians passed laws for gun-free school zones. they issue press releases bragging about them. they post signs advertising them. and in doing so they t

wayne, you say get to work? >> when you add tt up. you say 41 and halfnd 31 and half.ut that is almost a month . the other thing the government is in competition with the same workers you are . it comes back to the thing in the first segment; if you are compeating with the government they don't require as much and they pay as much or >> johnathon 130 billion. >> they make more and generous benefits and they work less than comparable employees in the private sector. the answer is not to get them to work more but haveess government employees it is it the nation's largest employer and that is pathetic and involved in science and engineer all of these areas where government has no function. that puts government on a diet. >> and well, you know, christian to be fair. we looked at the job data and th workers have fallen. johnathon will get his wish. this is hour to hour productivity and getting productivity out of our government workers, christian. >> the competition that wayne talked about. government in the private sector doesn't take into account that jobs don't exist for

wayne lapierre took no argument. he called for armed guards in school and ripped the media for reporting misinformation and failing to nail the real culprits. >> in a race to the bottom, media conglomerates compete with one another to shock, violate and offend every standard of civilized society. by bringing in an even more toxic mix of reckless behavior and criminal cruelty right into our homes. >> so, is there any validity to these bombastic charges against the press. joining us now here in washington, terence smith, former correspondent for pbs news hour and cbs news and "new york times." and tom foreman who attended friday's nra event. tom, what was it like being at this nra event? i won't call it a press conference. are you surprised that not a single journalist got to ask a question? >> it was not a press conference. all of us expected to exchange questions and answers with wayne lapierre and the president of nra who was there. it didn't happen at all. it did not happen but adamantly did not happen. several of

someone like me wayne, so much. i understand why people would want to clarge me more. >> i understand it, too. but john is right we have a fuel tax. and and it is it another way to track pime and look for trouble . you got auelax and fuel x is a huge tax . they are using the argument to get better mileage now. maybe you don't need to do so much. it is based on mileage. >> wayne makes a good point about the pvacy issue. transponder tracking my mile it is big brotherish. >> it is and john makes a good argument against it it is a important policy work. it is probably a bad idea. we don't need new tax. the mileage tax could hurt fuel efficnt car it is the and questions of heavy congestionimes and it is unwoable idea and why the obama administration distanced it. >> we have a trust fund in 2013 and that is to go to the roads. it will be negative and needs a fuel tax to fund it aga. >> it is not too long. it will go native in 2015. thgas tax isaised continuously since it was enacted in the 1950s. they are paying 64 cents

congressman, you heard wayne lapierre.s he reflect your views about how to approach any kind of remedy after a massacre like newtown, which is we should talk about everybody but guns? >> my wife and i, we have three kids. if there's something that we can do that will make sure that this never ever, ever, ever happens again, of course i'll support it, but i also -- >> come on, there's no standard likes that. that's why you try things. that's what public policy is about. >> i'm a concealed permit carrier, i have a glock 23, i have a shotgun. there are millions just like me. we're not the problem. i think there's common ground we should be attacking first and foremost is that mental health issue because there are maybe not the laws that we need. maybe there's not the reporting that we need. to say that's already been tackled -- >> has politics changed, harold? is wayne lapierre as you heard him to in sync with the political class on both sides of the aisle today? >> no, he's not in sync with the country. the argument i heard

we have wayne rogers and johnathon and tracey burns and john layfield and joining us is malia mazoo. i know you like mcdonalds. >> you think they are being a scrooge or is it a gift to the workers. >> trade is productive. it doesn't matter on christmas or roshshana and mcdonalds is a service business like dennis and starbucks. they have to be open when people want to get serve that includes christmas day. it is it important to keep in mind to incent vise. they might offer time and hamful and not only ask them to but require it >>alt the same time mcdonalds was founded on principle to give them time off with their families. are they changing that . >> it is it a worrs preogative to work anywhere else. there are not that many jobs in the economy. if you have a job be thankful. >> congress may be taking t time off. but mcdonalds had earnings that are down . staying up on christmas to me is something they should do. >> numbers are there. malia . aolt of mcdonalds that opened on thanksgiving day booked profits and that was a lot of revenue for the mcdonald's franchise. does that mean they

he's wayne kaufman, chief market analyst at john thomas financial. >> so, wayne, give us your bullish case. make the case for us for why you see the dow and the sep up by as much as 12% in 2013. >> well, i do think there's a very good chance that the major index is the s&p and the dow make new all-time highs, sometime in 2013. you have been going over the housing market doing much better but the entire construction industry, the whole building sector is also doing a lot better. there's something called "the architect's work on the boards index" and that shows the architects making at all-time highs. automobile is better, payrolls are better, the jobless claims are improving and, based on that, the consumers' ability to pay their debts is at the best levels that it has been at since the 1980's and that's very important, with the consumer being 70 percent of the economy. gdp for third quarter was 3-point 1% which was a big increase over second quarter. in addition to this you have a synchronized global program of asset buying by central banks around the world. you have the fed and you k

it seems like fear itself is the only thing that wayne lapierre has to offer. let's take a listen to this. >> violent crime is increasing again for the first time in 19 years. add another hurricane, terrorist attack, or some other natural or manmade disaster, and you've got a recipe for a national nightmare of violence and victimization. >> mark, can wayne lapierre get then ra out of the fix it's in by scaring people into thinking that all we need is guns, that guns are the answer to every particular catastrophe that we confront in this country? >> you know, i must admit, i have been a student of then ra for a long time. my dad was a gun dealer in colorado, knew lots of nra members. i have to say i was surprised by what happened today. his comments were, first of all, factually incoherent and struck me as being so politically tone deaf that it kind of left me wondering where this impression came from that the nra was a political powerhouse. i think they have a real problem on their hands, and part of the reason they have a problem on their hands is that, in fac

wayne. >> good morning. the national rifle association, 4 million mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, join the nation in horror, outrage, and grief and earnest prayer for the families of newtown, connecticut, who have suffered such an incomprehensible loss as a result of this unspeakable crime. out of respect for the families and until the facts are known, the nra has refrained from comment. while some have tried to exploit tragedy for political gain, we have remained respectively silent. now we must speak. for the safety of our nation's children. because for all the noise and anger directed at us over the past week, no one, nobody has addressed the most important pressing and immediate question we face, how do we protect our children right now starting today in a way that we know works? the only way to answer that question is to face the truth. politicians pass laws for gun free school zones. they issue press releases bragging about them. they post signs advertising them. in doing so they tell every insan

to save his name, wayne brasco, bobby has a fateful decision to make. call 911 and wait for the fire department or risk his life and run into the burning house that's connected to the funeral home. what would you do? without a moment's hesitation, bobby singh dashes up to the house to warn wayne and his brother kenny. no time to call 911. >> i tried the front door. i rang the bell. almost five, ten times i rang the bell. nobody gave me a response. but i go inside just to yell out his name. kenny! and i said fire! fire! fire! can you come out? >> i was just watching television. >> in the back of the house wayne brasco, laid up with a leg injury is unaware of the fire up front. >> first i thought, oh dear, someone's house in the neighborhood is on fire. you're used to the noiss on the street. >> from another part of the house, kenny staggers out behind bobby singh through the thick choking smoke, but where is wayne? >> by the time i got eight or ten feet into the living room, which is in the front of the house, i saw flames coming up through the windows.

. >> wayne lapierre came out after a week of silence. he talked about disdain for the media, violent video games and the lack of security at school was part of the problem but avoids guns being part of the problem. what's the reaction from this press conference? >> in washington the reaction was somewhat shocked by the news conference just because of the tone. it was so different from what we've been hearing from others in particular president omo bama who had called out on gun control. he's made this commission that vice president will lead that's supposed to report backy. and then wayne lapierre came forward and talked about putting armed officers in the nation. he was not aiming for the beltway crowd. that's important to remember. it will be interesting in the next few weeks and months how his comments played in other parts of the country outside the beltway. that's who he was talking to. >> he made the rounds in the morning talk shows and stood his ground despite the backlash. it would cost more than $2 billion to put security office

. >> wayne? >> the story of the north bay is not only trees but water. there are a few trees downed in the last storm but water level going up. so... let's start with that. let's begin with good news, you're looking at it. russian river in heelsburg an indicator may be just maybe this is a first and last time we'll utter the word "drought". this engineer from sonoma county water agency is optimistic. >> when is>÷ this last time you had this much water? >> in 2010, 2011 we came out of summer with;9yjt high reservr lefrls. we were actually about this level, we hadn't had storms again there. >> now, to the down side of that water. sat railted soil, and trees that come tumbling down. here are the remember nanlts of one tree along sausalito boulevard in southern marin. and to the north a bigger problem along ben yet valley road. this remnants of one tree had been bad news and delays for drivers like katie curve. no getting through this. >> now, i'm going to have to find another way to get there. >> t

in a way, could wayne lapierre be crazy like a fox?be misdirecting everyone away from the obvious solution that even republicans are saying this is crazy, the idea of schools and meanwhile, we are talking mental health and video games, everything except gun control. i want to reiterate other countries have video games, by the way. >> they do? >> yes. i have said it before, it's my big thing. what i think is, it kind of goes back to bob's point, which is the nra membership has to stand-up to him. you know, we know that he represents the industry. you know, with childhood obesity, let's say, mcdonald's didn't say we are going to stop making french fries. they said we understand we have a high calorie food, so we are going to offer salads and post, you know, the nutritional content on our food. we are going to make concessions. we are not going to stop what we are doing but we realize that partially hydrogenated oils are part of the problem. he can't even see -- >> totally inflexible. >> i think people look at that and say wow. i think th

stylistically and substantively what wayne said. i think the larger conversation you began and i thought it was a terrific interview with rick warren is what families are talking about this holiday season. enjoying time with the families but thinking of the connecticut families. i'm from connecticut and grew up not far from newtown. i personally as a mom am thinking about those mothers and fathers and i get teared up when i teen talk about it. i do believe that this rush to if we only had the assault weapons ban and the ban on the high capacity magazines we wouldn't have the problems. i think it is wrong headed. we could pass those laws tomorrow. and if we did, i think we would still have a significant problem. your scowls not withstanding. i love one but he scowls. i love you and i love your are tie. we would still have violence. the assault weapons ban did not demonstrably reduce violence in the united states. >> chris: thank you and we will continue the conversation on panel plus as we said as soon as we finish here. we will peck

wayne la pierre fights that tooth and nail. they think that 70% of them believe that if you are on a terroratch list and therefore can't get on a plane with you an me, they shouldn't be able to go to a licensed dealer and buy a gun, but today they can. that, the mainstream of the nra is people like my dad, who want to have guns because they have a good time going out to shoot because they want to hunt, because they want to be self-reliant and be able to defend themselves in their homes. that's not where the nra is today. >> suarez: i haven't seen the polling numbers yet but i would guess that you would get a much higher result if you asked people do you think it's reasonable to have security guards armed in schools. >> sure. i mean with the situation being what it is today, when there are as many guns as there are people in our society, people want to do anything to keep their kids safe. my son is about the age of kids in that school, one of whom was shot 12 times. but the circularity of the argument that the nra has been makin

. >> here's a bit what was he said from his news conference today, wayne lapierre.immediately to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every single school in this nation and to do it now to make sure that blanket safety is in place when our kids return to school in january. is there any research or evidence that in fact arming security guards, arming teachers, arming administrators, would be an effective solution here? >> no. there's no research that says that putting more firearms in the hands of trained or untrained professionals in a shoot-out is going to make anybody who's sitting around safer. but there's lots of evidence that it won't. let me tell you a couple things. first of all, in my home state of colorado, at columbine there was a deputy sheriff there, there was another security guard nearby, they were not able to stop what happened. i can tell you the international association of chiefs of police said earlier today they thought it was about impossible as a budgetary matter and unwise as a public safety matter to think the way

he said, wayne, let me tell you this. every police officer walking the street knows some lunatic is out there, mentally disturbed person, that ought to be an institution and is out walking the street because they dealt with the institutional side. they didn't want mentally ill in the institution so they put them all back on the streets and nobody thought what happens when you put all these mentally ill people back on the streets? and what happens when they start taking their medicine. we have a completely cracked mentally ill system that's got these monsters walking the streets and we've got to deal with the underlying causes and connections if we're ever going to get to the truth in this country and stop this stuff. >> a lot of people would agree there's a lot of difficulties of getting that kind of mental health information because there's privacy laws and states not contributing to a national registry. isn't part of the issue background checks? 40% of sales that go on. are you prepared broader background checks if you
