rally starts his beard. i'll be saying a few words and then introducing other legislators who are coming with you heard anything about her protest. we expect to counter protest. do you guys have a yes, like the little sleeves with for going down to salem, big 6 fires, holding a rally. and we're going to go show them that they're not going to get away with the safety of our, of our family, of our children. if they're talk, i think the maximum is only reasonable. yeah. more than a 1000 people with more than 90000. ah. with our students to fight against the british 13 years that there wouldn't be a united states today or 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 the united states government in track with i think that people should be able to help it. i think people should be able to target true only what they do not need a fair amount with what you say is okay. i know you're, you know, shout me down so you're not, you're not reasonable because you want us to respect your opinion, but you all respect ours, these pieces of legislation provide common sense gun control, guy killing of a masters. the children in time anti gun should have at our job. no. and then we would, our teachers would have a lot less mass occurring done. you're more like a gun in the hands of good. it's not a bad you, they got a bad person, you know, a what we're gonna do is we're gonna do a series of panels. you know, encourage all the gun on a. she talked to, to calm what, when the time comes i, i'm finding that people are for each of these people have never stood up to the opposite show you, you have years of experience, shirt and use try kind of intimidation. you're about the here to so very angry voice mail from someone out there. ah, you have more guns and you can count. i'll never give them up. you received me back and i think we're good from wine, keith, adolph, hitler and stalin would be so proud of you. you guys are pathetic. you are a waste of the oxygen i breathed. 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 signs. in oregon, pro gun ad with kids are intimidating. law may goes with threatening e mails and video surveillance. joining me loud oregon state senator jenny bird. dick, you cancelled the town hall meeting and then what day do i did at night when i cancelled the town hall meeting? i didn't want to say anything inflammatory. so i just said this standard scheduling conflict. well, they showed up at my house and they said 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 senator bertie, probably 3 or 4 occasions in the portal 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. me. she's a public figure. people understand that public figures don't really have privacy. i think jenny brakes, edge shepherds come into her having issues that scares you a step down. she should just get over it and move on and quit her job. nobody likes i'm not bitter at all. by the way. show you this, this one with my for your, for such as myself. it's the heritage, a lot of families from the south this me mom acres plan and marathon public hearing on for bills. they included 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. 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 ryan ram, almost out of town center and silently the room 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, ah, i want people to remember. i don't want people to forget how that people were murdered and, and how they were murdered. and that we need to change the cycle of violence, excuse me, going on in our communities. mm day with politicians back down just because they don't want to take the harassment. and that is what it results in no change. and i just refused to be intimidated because i can't in good conscience after new town back down. ah, this issue is very simple to members of the public that somehow when you get into the charge, the 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 debate to decide on what if anything it will be moving forward . senate bill $700.00 would finish closing the loophole to require a background checks for all of gum sales. he's bills will do nothing but target law abiding citizens. they're 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 their private sale of guns without background checks is reckless, irresponsible, and downright dangerous. none of these bills will keep the guns out of hands of a single criminal or madman. if more people had been killed in clackamas town center, we would have them work 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 sanibel. $347.00 would allow school districts rather than one advocacy group or another to decide what really is a safe school. there is no place in our schools, but guns, gun free zones. my. this will be advertised as potential killing zones. students were almost unanimous in their opinion, that their sense of security would not be an ast 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. dana ray can spread their money around it or influence, but it's only you folks, the legislators that can write and pass the laws that we all live by. all right, thank you very much. ah oh, should we describe our time? what is the zeitgeist as they say, do we have a sense of direction and purpose? we also hear a lot about the desire to return to normal. what does that mean? now? are we actually living in the new normal? oh no, when i was so think wrong one 03, just don't hold any world yet to see how does the become the applicant an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. orland gas, manufacturing, electricity, telecom transportation, all of them now have io t type of infrastructure connected to the internet for clarity, realizing this disruptive potential so that those countries can't ignore it because it threatens national security issue. but if we take the nato n e u countries, virtually old of them subscribed to certain doctrines and maintains selling but tell us forces. they are a cyber army on behalf of a country. that's their job. 100 mic, no, certainly no borders and the slide. please and you guys as a merge, we don't have a charity, we don't have a vaccine. the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together with ah and our next penalties come forward. none of these bills would have stopped the shooter that killed my mother and cart miss town 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 roving a dialogue and gun safety. please don't make the same assumption that i did believe that this couldn't happen to me. it could easily have been your wife, your husband, your daughter, or your son. you remember katrina. you remember 911. what happened? overnight? nothing mattered. politics did matter where you were from, 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 were trying to defend their bodies and defend them the way they were slaughtered. 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 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 publicly state that over, refuse 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 in 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, the gun control, whatever you wanna call it, is a very good example of that field that blanco's me, i don't know the solutions to lessen the chance of a sandy hood 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 francine wheeler, my husband davis with 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. our younger son, ben h 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 receded. but not for us to us. it feels as if it happened just yesterday. please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy. we had to convince the senate to come together and pass common sense gun responsibility reforms that will make our communities safer and prevent more tragedies like the one we never thought. what happened to us hope the speed of the moment when real change begins. i talk about making a difference when do you mind watching that pain? a pain and how she was able to rise above her own painter trying to keep others from having to experienced pain more than 3000 people died since sent york. every single one of them had families who are experiencing that pain. and she's trying to do something about it can even know she's in desperate pain herself. really admire her as it makes you feel, watching her standard like that so publicly. well, it certainly certainly drives me, you know, i, i'm a legislator and i haven't had any kind of loss in my family knock on wood. the 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 i need to find a kleenex m i tell you with a few months ago, a press this country took up because i think more people got a few minutes ago. a minority in the united states senate decided it wasn't worth we had a democrat and they were both owners with a graceful man. all right, come together to write a commonsense compromise on background checks. in fact, even the i used to support expanded background checks, but instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies wilfully lied about the bill. those lines are intense minority of gun owners 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 centers, 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 the shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number of deaths. i'm convinced that me who knew i was present 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 are disagree. we're 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 checked. seems like a no brainer to me. i don't know why we're even like having to yeah, i mean we were disappointed that there weren't like stronger bel enable. so the fact that be really honestly they're really weak. bells can't even get sad that they can't get past me. ah was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable . i knew i had to make a change. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america. florida. one of florida is the biggest industries and best kept secrets is fostering mine, and the biggest player is $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic, and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now blowing into the florida aquifer. my problem is a chronic. oh yeah, i don't want to hear that word poets thing, but that's what it is. i'm in 2013 my, all our family dog. my brother was 21 years old, myself and my father were all a 100. wow. yeah, hold on and they could play it right. yeah. maybe they'll actually learned that are help is more important than when i was a kid and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground. and so it begins 2 weeks of our christmas and new year's, the specials, in which we look back in the year that was, and parents in the future with some of our roster of amazing guests, all heterodox thinkers, that would be caught dead on breakdown finance, corporate media 1st up, james howard, concert. mm technology is a very big industrial and there's a lot of opportunities for hackers movie that is not here, but he didn't bring the law in the country you're dealing with. why arrest him that the major cybersecurity challenge is the sovereignty of laws, but cyberspace has no borders, no sovereignty. we ended up with, for example, the national health service in the u. k. that a chest was completely wiped out from a ransomware attack. if you were coming in to a clinic, because you had a test or you had an operation, they can't find your records. they had to go back to pen and paper a deny to that exclusive interview without t rushes for a minister says moscow will react to a flagrant attempt by berlin to block our teeth. new german language channels of to europe's leading satellite provider, removes it to the request of the country's media regulator. people use, we cannot tolerate it any longer and we believe is unacceptable. situation will go on. we will have to respond to it. so he left off also questions the impartiality of the ongoing trial into the downing of flight. i made 17 and eastern new cray.
