lars lawrence and show it's 7 minutes after the hour. and i'm in one of the best places you can ever be on a friday for 1st amendment friday because we're making it a 2nd amendment friday. i'm in northwest armory on se mclaughlin, this place is a mad house today. it looks like, you know, shopping day after thanksgiving our business has been exponential amount of growth. there's been a lot more interest in personal protection. since there's been a couple of national tragedies, there's also been a lot more interest with the possibility of legislation and people concerned that they're not going to be able to get back to the things that they used to be able to have access to the organ legislature is considering for really bad bills, they would take away people's right to carry guns in various places, including wall them would limit your ability to carry in a school. if the janitor, it's sandy hook, elementary, had carried a pistol and he heard the shooting down the hallway and people screaming and then saw a young man not in a police uniform running at him with an a r 15 and had shouted to the guys, stop and then pulled his pistol out and shot adam lanza would that have been a good thing or a bad thing. the folks like jenny burdick and those, you know those nit, which, why would they think it would be a bad thing for people, legitimate law abiding people to carry a pest on his plan? so rally started today, i'll be saying a few words and then introducing other legislators who are coming. you heard anything about protest, we expect to counter protest. now you have like a little sleeves really. we're going down to salem seats fires, holding a rally, and we're going to go show them that they're not going to get away. it was there again, i was the safety of our, of our families, of our children. is there the right to me that we are more than a 1000 or more than 90000 in order to get to the british would have taken your step. there wouldn't be a united states today. you know, so thank you all for coming. you guys are going to make a difference. you really are. the 2nd amendment was created to keep me and i think government in check the government not to talk about i think that people should be able to. i think people should be able to target only what, what day, but they do not need a weapon. i always hear what you say. it's ok. you know, you just shut me down so you're not, you're not reasonable if you want to respect your opinion, but you won't respect these legislation, provide common sense gun control, which is gonna kill the massacres of children. i'm anti guns that have to have known, and we would, our marquee years, you'd have a lot less mass occurring more than a guy, and a gun in the hands of a good, not a bad day. got i got in the hands of the bad person of the lobby. i what we're going to do is we're going to do a series of panels. you know, encourage all the going on as you talk to, to come when the time comes. i'm finding the people for each of these people have never stood up to the opposition. you, you have years of experience. you're used to kind of intimidation. you're about the here to serve. very angry voicemail from some one out there. you stupid. more guns and you can count never give them up. you received 8 and 10 i think were from one to say that hitler and stalin would be so proud of you. you guys are pathetic. you are a waste of the oxygen i breathe. it's just too bad that you, people were a star from the nipple, or maybe you guys would have all your brain cells. lynching is an extra judicial execution carried out by a mob often by hanging, but also by burning at the stake and sign in oregon crow gun advocates are intimidating law makers with threatening e mails in video surveillance. joining me out, oregon state senator jenny bird, dick, you cancelled the town hall meeting and then what did they do? i did, and i, when i cancelled the town hall meeting, i didn't want to say anything inflammatory. so i just said the standard scheduling conflict. well, they showed up at my house and they stayed. they stayed in front of my house for 2 and a half hours taping. everything i did and then they put it on the web. and their point was that i didn't in fact have a scheduling conflict. but they ran my address and they ran very threatening comments about it. is that all right? you are good. oh, i didn't know any of that was going on. my goodness. yeah. watching you take out your direct. it was really creepy. i'm not happy about them coming into the camp of my team and i provided physical security for center bertie, probably 3 or 4 occasions in the portland area. people had confronted her in one case she was walking to her car and somebody jumped out of the brush. certainly we really took this quite seriously. when congresswoman difference was shot in tucson, arizona. you know, how do you know something like that's gonna happen? so we believe the data point that she had a legitimate right to be concerned about her welfare. i me, she's a public figure. people understand that public figures don't really have privacy. i think jenny burdick some badge she had what's come into her having issues that scared a step down, she should just get over it and move on and quit her job. nobody lecture i'm not bitter at all by the way. oh, show you this. this one with my for, for such as play out on my stuff. it's the heritage that they have a lot of families from the south me mom a group plan, marathon public hearing on for bills. they include a ban on guns in schools and criminal background checks for private con sales. so we should be there by. so this is telling me 730 i mean, hopefully this will be a good forum and people will be open to everyone's message on all sides of the issue. none of us can replace steve, but we can try to make things better. i back in january, my friend invited me to this community meeting about can safety a literally to sit up there and said hey, this is why and my mom was count town center and silently, but the room, me by just standing up and saying that i made a real for everyone. i realize that that moment i do have a voice. maybe i can make an impact. me. i want people to remember. i don't want people to forget that people were murdered and how they were murdered. and that we need to change cycle of violence seems to be going on our communities, me day me politicians back down just because they don't want to take the harassment. and that is what results in no change. and i just refused to be intimidated because i can't in good conscience after newtown, back down i i this issue is very simple to members in the public. somehow when you get into the charge environment in this building, it becomes more difficult. good morning everyone. thank you for being here. i'm going ahead and open up the senate committee on judiciary this morning. we have 4 bills that are before us, that we're going to be taking public testimony. each of these bills have amendments that will change the actual purpose of the bills. in conducting today's hearing, i asked that everyone be respectful to the speakers and their views, even though you may disagree with those positions. i think it's very important that we have this hearing today to decide on what if anything will be moving forward. senate bill $700.00 would finish closing the report to require background checks for all gun sales. the bills will do nothing but target law abiding citizens. they are not going to affect the criminals. they don't solve any of the problems that we've had. the fact that this state continues to allow the private sale of guns without background checks is reckless here, responsible and downright dangerous. none of these bills will keep the guns out of the hands of a single criminal or madman. if more people had been killed a crack in this town center, we would have a more comprehensive law. we're legislating a reaction to a tragedy that won't prevent it is true. criminals will always get guns, but let's make it harder for them for women and those with disabilities. guns are the great equalizer bill. $347.00 would allow the school district rather than one advocacy group or another to decide what really is a safe school. there is no place in our schools, but guns again, free zones might as well be advertised as potential killing zones. students were almost unanimous in their opinion that their sense of security would not be enhanced with additional weapons on site. you need somebody at the school to stop that person. the laws we have and assistance we have in place do not work. in array can spread their money around it and are influenced. but it's only you folks, the legislators that can write and pass the was that we all live by the, i thank you very much. join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, small business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. me were told the new strategic alliance comprising the united states, the united kingdom and australia is not directed against china. but of course it is . washington is about numerous alliances against paging, but argos has a new killer dimension tensions arising in the pacific, and no doubt china will re maine . it costs more to defer to focus bittman, no volunteer, but me. oh oh oh i ah, ah, me. i understand. i oh, why now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. is profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and healthy and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. mm. and our next penalties come forward. none of these bills would have stopped the shooter that killed my mother, a cart miss tom center. still, it is an important action for this legislature to demonstrate that they are serious about making our communities safer. reducing gun violence is a complicated issue, but that is not an excuse for an action. i'm here today and host holding a dialogue and gun safety. we don't make the same as somebody guided believing that this couldn't happen to me. it could easily have been your wife, your husband, your daughter, or your son. or remember katrina. you remember 911. what happened? overnight and nothing mattered. politics did matter where you reform didn't matter . people do anything to help the people. that's never happened since this terrible tragedy and it didn't happen. and i knew when it didn't happen. i mean, if you slaughtered children the way they were slaughtered and you slaughters 6 students, 6 teachers who are trying to defend their bodies and defend them the way they were slaughter. and that can bring us together instantly. there my friend, this thing will never come together. me, i me ah, there are now 6 state associations and 262 individual sheriffs who are on record opposing any new gun control legislation this week. the sheriffs of 5 oregon county sent out letters that they would not support laws passed by congress, that trump the liberties of citizens in addressed to vice president joe biden. i will not tolerate, nor will i permit any federal incursion within the exterior boundaries of grant county, oregon, or any type of gun control legislation, aimed at disarming law abiding citizens is a goal or objective share for grant county. i to a publicly state that i refused to participate or stand idly by while people i represent are made into criminals duty or unconstitutional actions. this is my basic police class. back in the late eighty's, when i went to the police academy, things are happening. our country right now that 4050 years ago, it was unthinkable about people, the mass casualties and the killings in the bombings. and i don't like it either, but i think the people need to take responsibility into their own hands and be prepared. i heard one talk show one time they were talking about, well, our government has nukes, do you propose that you have nukes? and my thought was, if they're gonna use a nuke against me, i would like to have a new to level the playing field. you know it's, it's little unrealistic. but let's, let's be realistic that if our government or anybody else is going to use a tank against us, it would be nice to know that i have the same ability of protect the people who have elected me in the office. that i could step to that same level. i don't anticipate ever wanting or having to have a tank or the use for one. but if somebody was to use one against me, it would be in our, in our best interest to be able to defend ourselves. and that's what 2nd amendments all about me . i'm not in the camp of anti government, but i think less government intervention into our lives would be a good thing. and i think there's a big divide there between what we call western oregon or the valley, the portland area and rural oregon. a lot of what we get from the politicians is a need jerk reaction. i don't have a tremendous amount of ease in how they do things and i think the gun control wherever you want to call it is a very good example of that. killed that blanco's me. i don't know the solutions to lessen the chance of a sandy hook type incident is going to come from gun control. i think it's much deeper than that. do i know what the answer is? no, because there's i think it's a very complicated, very complex problem. guns we're part of it. we have to decide what we're willing to accept on both sides of the fence. you know, are we willing to accept what happened? you know, in these different instances. if not, then what are we willing to accept, you know, laws and rules to lessen the potential of that happening? again? my name is frances wheeler. my husband, david, me. we live in sandy hook, connecticut. david and i have 2 sons. our older son, nate, soon to be 10 years old, is a 4th grader at sandy hook elementary school. i younger son ben, page 6, was murdered in his 1st grade classroom on december 14th, exactly 4 months ago this weekend. i've heard people say that the tidal wave of anguish i country felt on 1214 has received it, but not for us to us. it feels as if it happened just yesterday. please help us do something before our tragedy because your tragedy. we have to convince the senate to come together and pass common sense gone, responsibility, reforms that will make our communities safer and prevent more tragedies like the one we never thought. what happened to us hope to see the moment when real change begins me i talk about making a difference. when do you mind watching that pain? the pain and how she was able to rise above her own pain to try to keep others from having to experience pain more than 3000 people had died since sandy hook in every single one of them had families who are experiencing that pain. and she's trying to do something about it even though she is in desperate pain herself. really admire her as it makes you feel, watching her stand up like that so publicly. well, it's certainly certainly drive to me. you know, i, i'm a legislator and i haven't had some kind of loss in my family knock on wood. but people are in depending on me and my colleagues to keep them safe and to have reasonable gun laws. so that is kind of thing. what happened again and now i need to find the kleenex the me . ah, i tell ya, flippant, go to they couldn't believe it. i thought for sure, was going to do it a few months ago, kevin, to respond to this. this country took up the cause of protecting more of our people from a few minutes ago, a minority in the united states senate decided it wasn't worth it. we had a democrat and they were both got us with a great one, the right to write a common sense compromised on background trends. in fact, even began, all right, used to support, expand the background checks, but instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies wilfully lied about the bill. goes why i got that minority got office and that in turn, intimidated a lot of centers after i saw the boat didn't pass, i just was absolutely crushed and thought that all the senators, the entire senate should be ashamed of itself. if those kind of weapons were less available or harder to get, we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number of deaths unconvinced that me who you know, i could see i was presented sky and he gave me an update on what's going on. yeah. so basically what this move means is the senate president has actually taken the bills and referred them to the rules committee without sending him to the floor 1st because he thinks that they won't pass. right. he doesn't think they have the votes . i disagree, we are talking about people who are going to be running for reelection. so, you know, it's one thing for the republicans because the republicans know that the president does not like to bring against vision. cars bring bills to the floor without the votes to pass. so naturally they're going to say, we're not going to vote for it, hoping to keep it off the floor altogether. okay? because if they don't have to vote, they can hide from the issue. i seems like a no brainer to me. i don't know why we're even like having a problem. yeah, i mean we were disappointed that there weren't like stronger bel cable. so the fact that be really honestly they're really weak bill can they can't get past me. the the the i don't know, i mean there's some steps in there were rescuing the food that they were scabbing or, or where were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best by march 21st which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, hall panels, onions, all of these came from waste round sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people and our society. so it makes sense for them to throw it out right off rather than give it to somebody who could use it, then that person is not going to buy it. ah, the ah ah the we are not seeking new cold war. all of the major powers of the world have a duty to my view to carefully manage their relationships. the un joe biden talks pace and sends a rallying call for global cooperation. fact submit zone i'm interested in to speak with nato ally from unclaimed to the cold war mentality from china. also to come this despite reco e u energy prices and a huge short full supply. the block is finding poland for lying on coal and blaming russia. the.
