2010, we have nothing but the most fer vernt praise for the port staff for j edwards, for phil williamson, by ron, jennifer, monique, your whole team has been so responsive, so right there, everything that we've needed including from ken cough man and the fire men's as well as, you are stickler and i do respect that for good reason, but even as sticklers you have been there every time we've asked and fabulous to working out the solutions to open on april 17th which is so very important to us. i have to say that really commend every person who has worked with us and just amazing. everything we call you are there. so what we have learned not too long ago we found out from a trade week, the exploratoria tourm is the 5th brand than any other place, behind the louver, no. 5. if we were no. 5, just wait till you see what we are doing with pier no. 7 and 8. thank you very much.

joining me, sarita gupta, kevin williamson, and tim perriello. great to have you all here.evin, from the perspective of a conservative, were you -- are you surprised that they have come to terms on this background check deal, which toomey mentioned and the gang of eight has managed to survive two months or whatever it is? >> you said the gun control deal was narrow, i would guess you've never bought a gun online? >> i have not. >> the way it normally happens is it ships to federally licensed firearms dealer, you get your background check there. i've been to probably 60 gun shows, in almost every one you have background checks done on the site. it's not going to make a difference. >> you think this loophole, such as it is, or the open space for freedom, depending how you define it, remains quite large? >> i don't think this makes much difference at all, given what the current practices are on those things. i've never heard of anyone selling a gun online and shipping it directly to someone's house without a background check. it always goes to a firearms dealer. the gun show t

let's get more from chris williamson. chris, welcome. it looks as though the tone generally speaking here for april across manufacturing and services is pretty weak. >> yes. and one of the big worries is that germany has been back into contraction. germany returned to expansion in the first quarter raising hope that the ecb was crawling out of its hole and is by mid year we would see some stabilization. with germany turning down, the rest of the region in collapse, it's not looking like an interesting picture. >> we're looking at the stoxx 600 up 0.4%. even though the euro is down significantly. this seems to imply the ecb may have to come in here. >> the ecb have said they're happy to -- to deteriorate. they may say, well, look, it's signs of stabilization there so let's wait and see. so it's an easy one to call. i suspect they might focus more on some of the other indicators, but in the pmi think that new orders growth which is deteriorating at a faster rate suggesting that momentum if anything is going in the wrong direction, not impr

it happened in williamson county, tennessee. if a palestinian suicide bomber killed teenagers in a restaurant is that an act of terrorism or wartime retaliation against israeli government and army action? the book defines hamas and hezbollah as political parties. let's go to brian now who has sports action. >>brian: nba playoffs off to a wild start. for example, billy crystal's team the clippers clutched last night. chris paul. >> paul against allen. paul against allen for the win. he's got it! >>brian: he makes the game-winning basket with just one second left. 93-91, winners over memphis. game three is thursday in memphis. a brooklyn-boston game. they packed the house. they beat the nets 90-82 # to even the playoff series at one game a piece. game three is in chicago. the knicks winning the best six-man award. all off the bench. carmelo anthony contender for the m.v.p. award but that will go to lebron james. it's been called a goal for the ages. watch this. it's unbelievable he took that out of the air and vollied that. look a

the textbook is not worthy of being used to educate our children in williamson county.conservative counties, it is in the belt buckle of the bible belt, expect more from our educators. this textbook is totally unacceptable. it's anti-semitic and we want it removed. >> gretchen: so you've gone to those measures. you contacted all the right authorities and they told you apparently that you had to file some sort of application and you didn't do that until yesterday. why? >> well, because when we first went and met with the faculty to discuss the issue, we were told what the protocol, what the procedure was. we followed it and, of course, before we left the meeting, we were told by dr. gaddis, the superintendent of curriculum that although you can fill out the form, i'm not removing the textbook. you know what? dr. gaddis, the gate keeper of our children's curriculum, when he read that text, he should have immediately thrown that book out. it should never have been accepted. we don't tolerate anti-semitic attacks. this is how the holocaust -- i've done a lot of research, pr

>> reporter: some parents in williamson county, tennessee are taking issue particularly with how this textbook explains terrorism. take a look. second sentence in this excerpt which asks, if a palestinian bomber kills several israeli teenagers in a jerusalem restaurant is that an act of terrorism or wartime retaliation against israeli government policies and army actions? >> it's not okay to ask children things like that, to put those ideas in their heads and not expect there to be a consequence down the road. >> reporter: in an email to fox news, textbook author writes, it is important to understand why terrorists attack, understanding is not the same thing as justifying the attack. author points out his question is followed in the book by an explanation of how palestinian and israeli advocates might answer the question differently. because the textbook is used for an advanced high school legislative, the school superintendent says it's intended to promote discussions and debate. listen. >> i think the critical question to answer is, does the book create an opportunity for students t

well more than 700 public high school students in williamson county, tennessee, are enrolled in electivess on human geography. julie west, whose son is in one of those classes takes issue with the state-approved textbook for the class handles certain controversial issues such as terrorism. according to the book, quote, distinguishing terrorism from other acts of political violence can be difficult. for example if a palestinian suicide bomber kills several dozen israeli teenagers in a jerusalem restaurant is that an act of terrorism or war-time retaliation against israeli government policies and army actions? >> not okay to ask children things like that, to put those ideas in their heads and not expect there to be a consequence down the road. >> reporter: textbook author, james rubenstein argues, that quote needs to be taken in context of the entire paragraph which goes on to explain that, quote, competing arguments are made. israel sympathizers denounce the acts as a terrorist threat to the country's existence where as advocates of the palestinian cause argue that longstanding injust is

susan candiotti is in williamson, west virginia, with the latest.ng us up to speed. >> hi, christine and john. in the small, historic coal mining town, shattered by the murder of their beloved sheriff, eugene crum, who did so much in only 93 days, they said, to battle prescription drug abuse, a large turnout for the swearing-in of his widow as interim sheriff. now she was too devastated to talk, but her daughter did, remembering her father. >> the pain that we are experiencing is unimaginable. i wish i could be shook out of this horrible nightmare. things seem so unreal right now, and as reality settles in, so does the hurt. all our hearts are broken. dad was very special to us all in so many ways. >> the feeling among many people here is that that was a symbol for healing. >> everyone in the community knows her, it's small town usa. it will help us overcome the void that's in our hearts and the officer's hearts. >> now i also spoke with the mother of the murder suspect in this case, tennis maynard. now, he remains in critical but stable condition a

susan candiotti is live in williamson, west virginia. susan, bring us up to speed on the latest. >> reporter: christine, this has really taken this small town by shock. you know, they're in shock at this moment, trying to figure out how this happened. and maybe the biggest question is, how did it happen? part of the answer might come in something we have learned that the suspect in this case said to police after he was arrested. the suspect, 37-year-old tennis maynard. authorities are not saying what they told him after they caught up with him. they said it could be interpreted in different ways, but they indicate it might lead them to a motive. all of this happened, as you indicated, in broad daylight at about noontime when sheriff eugene crum was sitting in his parked, marked vehicle, an suv, just a couple blocks from where i'm standing at the courthouse here, as he often did, eating his lunch in the car when a suspect pulled up behind him, got out of his car, walked up and shot through the sheriff's window at point blank range, striki

it was interesting to hear the statement from the williamson county schools where this happened in tennesseely said nobody submitted a formal request to have this changed. yet the parents i spoke to earlier in the week said they told us if we did that, it wouldn't do any good any way. are parents' hands tied in these situations? >> that's a good question because i think we're going in that direction. a lot of times local districts have more control than they want to admit. it is not a question of whether or not they can choose textbooks from the state approved board but maybe how they get reimbursed. i think governor haslam is having a discussion as to school choice initiatives. i think more americans are more comfortable with allowing the viewpoints of what their children are taught to be driven by their parents instead of the state and government. i think the bills they're talking about with school choice are very necessary because otherwise you still have someone, whether it's the local school district, elected state board or bureaucratic branch making a determination of what the children

i'm joined by the freshman in the williamson county school district in tennessee.t, and our school has defended it for six months now, right now the whole country is wondering how anyone could leave a bomb outside a restaurant or on a busy street to deliberately kill innocent people and at the same time, our children are being educated with curriculum that tells them, well, maybe it's okay. or at least it might be okay if the people you kill are jewish. that's not acceptable. >> gretchen: how did you actually come about this, because let's face it. when we have kids, we help them with homework, but we don't see everything in the textbook. how did you find it? >> my son came home, asked one day, who does israel belong to? i said that's weird. that answers itself. he said, no, i know what our family believes, but according to international law, who should that belong to? and apparently, and i verified it with the school that they had been taught that palestine is a nation that has been denied its state by great britain and the jews. they've also been taught, the curr

her son is a freshman in the williamson county school district.s. julie, nice to see you this morning. >> good to see you. i think it's important to realize if you take the entire context of the paragraph, it's asking, why might it be okay to kill israeli students? because this group says it's okay. and if it's wrong to blow up people on the streets of boston, it's wrong to blow them up on the streets of jerusalem. the same government requiring our grade school students to study the pillars of islam is telling us we can't tell our high school students thou shalt not kill because it is not a religious class. it is not about banning a book. it's about citizens having the right to question our government and say why do you continue to spend my tax dollars on curriculum that is so obviously biased and filled with errors. it protects china's one-child policy and all the human rights violations that goes with it. it calls the p.l.o. political organization and ignores the holocaust. that's what we're dealing with. >>clayton: julie, you've been portrayed

in chapel hill, north carolina, in 1995, wendell williamson walked the streets of chapel hill with an m-1 rifle. he opened fire, killing two. when he paused to reload, a bartender tackled him and disarmed him. in springfield, oregon, in 1998, kip kenkle went to his high school with several firearms and 1,127 rounds of ammunition. he opened fire, shooting 50 rounds, killing two students and injuring 24 more. and as his firearm ran out of ammunition and he began to reload, several students tackled him and restrained him until the police arrived. there are many, many others. in fact, half of the mass killings since 1982 involve high-paf-capacity magazine. half of all those mass slaughters were enabled by high-capacity magazines. facts are stubborn things, as ronald reagan used to say. everyone is entitled to his own opinion but not to his own fac facts. daniel patrick moynihan reminded this chamber many times. the most tragic stories for me involve law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty and in connecticut, they include robert fumiatti of the new haven police department, mast
