i m joined now by luis gutierrez. good to see you, congressman. good to see you. what do you hope to accomplish with this hearing? bring hearings and bring light. you know, the house of representatives and judiciary committee hasn t had one hearing. in the senate there have been hearings on gun violence in our society. i d like to take this opportunity, this moment to mighti highlight the fact that the senate is silent. i think i have the same gut reaction as most americans. a teenager went out. an adult killed him with a gun and nobody is being held responsible for that death. i think it speaks to in america, i d like to have a hearing why in people in america feel a more necessity to arm themselves and they fear more and more in fear of their fellow americans. i get the point you want to defend your home and you re going to use a gun to defend your home, i get that, but when stand your ground means you don t retreat, when stand your
us reloading in this fight. what keeps us going in this fight and about this country that i love, i know we love is the faces that i see here today. you don t give up. the washington establishment mirrors the view and you don t give up. the mainstream media just plain doesn t get you and you don t give up. you don t retreat. today the board of directors will name james porter as nra s new president. it was motivated by revenge. governor rick perry, meanwhile, prefaced his remarks with a little prerecorded target practice. the governor and our good friend, rick perry.

sneers at you and you don t give up. the lame stream media just blaine doesn t get you and you don t give up! you don t retreat! there was a part where she brought the tobacco out? mike bloomberg and tobacco. do we have that clip? her is a campaign for attention at this point and we are playing into it by showing her. well, actually i think these were their signature speakers and then you had rick perry s prerecorded target practice. i mean, i m sorry. i ll just let it speak for itself just like we let kelly ayotte s answer in a whole minute and 42 of tape speak for itself and people can decide. i don t want they want to hear it from me. they might want to hear it from you. definitely want to hear it from willie and barnicle. but, i mean, come on. go online and watch the nra convention and decide where you stand on this because it seems
