" You know such as the work is incidents where it says -- majority Muslim country will also want to say quite impressive -- he says. There are many -- families and mark of Muslims and their family -- and says I'm one of them. And it's it's amazing how we've gone from what he was careful about things candidate. What he's willing to say is the president also was great on the Palestinian Israeli thing the only disappointing episode for me a child living in a community has many Armenian Americans. As a candidate I was very powerful and condemnation. Of what he called genocide of Armenians in 1950 point three. He didn't. Changes position today he sidestepped that issue when he was standing next the president certain that this."
" Once he got 11 other thing when he was relative to the Muslim thing. Yesterday I think it was when he was to -- was addressing the crowd. And he said -- a lot of people thought that when Barack Hussein Obama was elected president. He usually doesn't use Hillary doesn't and that's I was interest that I am I'm assuming you don't introduce the president anywhere other than that which she wants to be introduce -- It's 90%.

" Schilling is not a time for tighter gun laws you know gun advocates are saying. Laws are not the issue here. Well it's a couple of things one lawlessness and gun advocates also say what's first the good enforce existing laws are right about that. But when you have 33 states with his gun show loophole in -- talk about the second. -- it to me almost impossible even for the head of the NRA to say this is what America once. Here you're suffering from Good Morning America they did a report this morning from Virginia. The state with a gun show loophole meaning no background checks needed at -- affairs watch what ABC news. Set to a gun show a man who's younger sister was killed in the Virginia Tech shootings. "
" We visit this gun show in Richmond Virginia where we gave Omar a one hour at about 5000 dollars in cash what could he brought. Before he's even inside he's approached by a seller he buys a gun no questions so this is what. This is the Glock. She brought this before you've even got in the show them you're sitting right outside the door -- how much you off or forfeiting about here's the cash thanks. Still those that. It was a purchase that sent chills for Omar a Glock handgun. The same kind of gun used to kill his sister Rima in 31 others at Virginia Tech."
" Government quickly point out that have been Virginia attack on was bought at a shop. Not at a gun show but the basic point that -- makes and that young men whose sister was killed makes this is true within a two thirds of the states you're able to go into the gun show. Out of us through what he did their buying a Glock was perfectly legal.

Overturning the DC law that banned personal firearm possession. In my opinion at least has not helped Angela broadside tonight at six -- and deal with some of these same issues there weren't talked to Dan Kennedy top media critic in town talking about the startling news about the possible demise. Of the Boston Globe that was on the front page of the paper to the -- enough all right Jim thanks we'll look forward broadside."
