avionics and the investigators on the ground are trying to put together the pieces and that human profile of the pilot and the co-pilot and anybody else that could have had access and the knowledge to fly the plane. and then it s compounded by the fact that you got so many countries trying to work together and it may be a piece of information that you need. it resides in a country they are not willing to share. it s so difficult. i know it s complicated having said that in this day and age where you can find anything. i mean, anything. that this plane has gone 13 days later, 777. bobby ghosh, chime in and take it to john cox, if you could. the research folks at time magazine looked into this and we believe this is the longest a commercial flight plane has been missing unheard from, unknown for in modern aviation history. not talking about the e rarks of amelia earhart here but in modern times a plane has not gone missing for such a long
time magazine s bobby gosh, thank you. michael sams is working out for a spot in the nfl today, one day, of course, after jason collins became the first openly gay athlete to play the game in the nba. and also, did you hear this latest controversy? there s a proposal involving the n word and whether it should be a penalty during the game. we re going to talk about it with the great dave ziron, who never holds back. also ahead, tackling america s sun down laws. keith travels to where many believe blacks are not allowed after sundown. i know this sounds like some antiquated thing from the south, but are these rules still in place today in the north? and tomorrow, i m pretty super excited about this, i will be answering your questions in a live google plus hangout right after the show, so you can start
francis with pulling the papacy out of the palace and into the streets, committing the world s largest church to confronting its deepest needs and balancing judgment with mercy. joining me now, bobby gosh and host of the catholic guy on sirius xm. bobby, your vote, you re part of the staff at time it was pope francis. this is quite a remarkable pope in very, very short time, just nine months, he s changed the tone of the church, the focus of it and perception of it. he s changed the tone from being judgmental to being merciful, the focus from being all about doctrine to being about compassion and he s changed the perception for outsiders after an institution being out of
this, bobby, in a sense, they are bringing some catholics out of the shadows and who are embracing this message of ininclusion from the pope. are you hearing the same thing? i absolutely him. there s a balance here, not that one pope only talks about judgment and this pope talks about mercy. it s getting the right balance. most people do know what the church teaches on all issues and it shouldn t be a great surprise that christians are for mercy and not judging people. that s supposed to be part of the christian message but it can be revolutionary because jesus was a revolutionary. we should be very happy. catholics and not catholics as elton john said, pope francis is just a miracle of humility in a sea of vanity. the reaction not just from catholics but everyone you ve heard so far, your twitter handles and facebook lighting up. what s the reaction? he s been able to reach out beyond the catholic world.
