People. Yeah. It just seems to be happening weekly in our nation somewhere. Mass shooting is four or more people. Weve had how many . Well, they go through so many of these things. I think the horrible thing about it is a lot of people have almost become numb to it. I think you guys know what im talking about. After sandy hook, i remember everyone said, this is going to change everything. I remember feeling it so deep down that that particular shooting at the Elementary School was going to change everything, and then you see it happening again and again. Yesterdays shooting, this sounds this is unbelievable. Its the sixth mass shooting in the u. S. This week. This week. The deadliest mass shooting here in the u. S. Since sandy hook and that was three years ago. One of the most powerful things that happened on the today show, today, they ran an open and in it they just used the today shows over the past several months, and it shows how many of these stories wee been covering. Take a look. Massacre, nine People Killed when a man walked into an prayer meeting in a charlston, South Carolina church. Terror in tennessee. Authorities searching for a motive in the rampage that ended with four marines dead. A 58yearold gunman opens fire in a crowded Movie Theater in louisiana, killing two people, wounding nine others. In memory and in grief. The shocking murders of two colleagues during a live broadcast. Face of a killer, the gunman who killed nine people in an oregon college. Carnage in colorado. A 57yearold man behind bars this morning after a deadly shootout at a planned parenthood clinic. You get chills watching that. It just seems since it seems to be so prevalent now, we somehow have to come to some kind of compromise in our world today. Im a total constitutionalist. I think our constitution is one of the greatest documents in history. Legislation for governing the affairs of men and women. Im a big believer in the second amendment. But i want guns only in the hands right to bear arms only for those people who are people of peace. And weve got to find a way to keep those kinds, like ak47s, that are only designed for mass murder, mass carnage. You dont go out to shoot a deer with that. You dont go shoot the ducks. You know . Right. You dont really defend yourself with Something Like that, right . Cant imagine that you can be on a watch list and not allowed to board a plane but you can go in and buy a gun. And youre not on a list there. I think there has to be something. You always hope this is the thing that makes people that lines people on both sides of this controversy will come together and do something at least. You said Something Interesting earlier, though. You said these two people that were killed in the shootout would have been able to buy one the other thing . I didnt say that, someone else must have told you that. Yeah, yeah. And no prior crime, no record. For those two, when you think about the facts are still coming together but take their young baby, their 6monthold, leave it with a motherinlaw and leave that baby knowing either theyre going to be in prison or dead when its over at the end of the day. Anyway. It was one of those things, you walk in, you shake your head and you say not again. Hodas right, we dont know all the facts and we want to be very, very careful but i did just hear something that was upsetting as well, that one of the neighbors came on and said shed been watching activity there in the night for quite a period of time. Theres going to be some and the woman was afraid to say anything because she didnt want to be accused of profiling. So thats also part of our problem. Weve become so politically correct. Here, if you see something, say something. I dont want to put any burden on that person, but what if that person had called and theyd gotten a warrant and gone in and seen well, you just think if you have bombs and guns and flak jackets and, you know all that, yeah. This wasnt something where it happened in a split second. I dont think any peaceloving person keeps that stuff at home. No, you got that right. Can we move on . We have to. We have to. Somebody that is putting good things into the world. This is 20yearold gabby caper from maine. She went to good will, which is an awesome organization. She went to dollar deal monday. She bought five coats for five bucks. Right . She took the coats and said what am i going to do with these . She taped them around five light posts in maine. With a note on each one that says, im not lost. Please take me if you need me. She noticed a man taking one of the coats off. Theyre for people who are outside and cold. Time now. Think if every one of us took the 5 we would spend on a latte or something and went into good will or Salvation Army or whatever it is in your area and did that. Thats awesome. Theres a homeless guy who sits near my apartment now. You know how theres complaining in new york because they see more and more hopeless. You know what, something funny happened the other day. I saw him sitting there and a little boy was around a couple of days after thanksgiving. He had a pie in his hand. He was running down the street. I heard him say to his mom, i dont see him. I dont see him. She said, there he is. Hes right over there. The little boy walked up. Because he didnt know where to give so even though theres a homeless problem, all i was seeing was this is teaching young kids to be compassionate. Sounds weird, but when i watched that kid walk up with that pie to that man i thought he was looking all over for him. Did he move, mom, i want to make sure i give him this. The greatest selfesteem you give your children is by helping others. You stand tall. You feel better. Your heart sings. Good for them. We have a woman who loves our show and we love her, Brittany Breen. Brittanys pregnant. She didnt know how she was going to announce her pregnancy. She decided we were going to help. We knew nothing about this. We showed it on twitter. We just found out. Heres what she did. Look what she did. It says wine wednesday postponed, Brittany Breen announces her pregnancy. She somehow cut up letters and turned it into that. Anyway, its her first child for her and her husband. Its something about wine day wednesday. I dont know. Well, her husband he works out on a freighter. He works out on a freighter. He doesnt get to see us much. He now gets to see us. There they all are. We want to say thank you to their 17weekold baby.

Or need help planning your outfits in the morning. Bobbie thomas has quick fixes. Hows the baby by the way . Hes delicious, hes juicy. So excited. So first up, these make great girlfriend gifts or something for yourself. But this was a fantastic idea. Bittersweet bracelets are bracelets you can wear with or without a hair tie. You may say what . You never know when youre going to need one. I always have one on my wrist. You slip one on. Its great because theres a lot of buzz about people getting irritation on their wrist but this prevents the elastic from sitting on your skin. Theyre chic. They also make them for kids.

Stocking stuffer. And only 10. Whats this . Last but not least, last is kur, instant smudge fix. If you finish your manicure and dent it, you think, oh, my gosh, all you need is one stroke of this. It smushes it out . Yeah. You drop a little color in the dent. And it glosses it fades into the nail. The formula is similar to when you see people take a little bit of nail polish remover but its easier. Thank you. Everything on line. Thank you. The barefoot contessa. Make after your local news. Its thirsty thursday. A good day to be in the kitchen with one of the most Popular Food Network stars in the nation, ina garten. You say its good to be in the kitchen with ina. Her friends call her the barefoot contessa. Our today food team called on ina to show us some easy drinks and appetizers. What time is it . Is it day drinking . This is a serious segment, ina, no judgment. First, cranberry martinis. Ooh. Perfect for the holidays. This. That is lovely. Hes great. Hes great. The first thing i did was i cooked together sugar, cranberries, orange zest, and some water. Cook it for about five minutes. It infuses it with a cranberry flavor. Its fantastic. This is a bottle of vodka. We know what a bottle of vodka looks like, trust me. Am i dumping it in . Pour that in there. The whole bottle . The whole bottle. Its vodka. Or something. The nice thing about this, you can make it in advance which is wonderful. Should the vodka be cold or does it matter . Its going to go in the fridge so it doesnt matter. This entire thing is going to go right in this bottle. Its going to sit in the fridge for up to a week. Really . Up to a week. Its going to marinate, baby. This is what it ends up being like. Okay. Why that long, just to get the the fruit flavor. It can be a day, two days, but it can be a week, too. Then what im going to do with cranberries for the drink. Youll see. Little garnish. So now what we have is this drink, were going to add two things. Hoda, do you want to add cranberry juice and triple sec. The triple sec is an Orange Liquor so it gives good flavor to it. Youre just enhancing the two flavors that are already exactly, exactly. Then ill take some cranberries and put it right into the drink like that. Ah. To garnish it. To garnish it. Because theyre delicious. Theyve been infused. Take a Little Orange zest and run it around the rim to really taste that. And this goes in here. This is fun. You never have any fun, right . Never. Shes the most dour i know, its really unbelievable. Are you shaking . Careful. I have a it should be okay. The key to this, you shake it for 30 seconds. You shake it, ina. Shake it, shake it, shake it. Cranberry martinis. That looks delicious. Ill take a sip. And the other drink i made here actually is jalapeno margaritas. Fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice. Delicious. Yes. What is this one . This is jalapeno margarita, marinated. We have a long day ahead, right. We do. Whoa, jalapeno. Its got a little heat in it, right, but its really good.
