packwood's remember
judith joined a couple months ago and uh... she's been with us ever since
lewis i mean i don't know how awesome is that i felt how far behind we are on
calling uh... arm
the names were several months behind while
we should catch up
may be due to a day's i think we should now except you know i'd really like
giving one person that uh... special welcome here
well it's like they're they're friends now if you do to i'm linking people
right
will look into that maybe they'll face book each other and form a strong bonds
really interesting poll americans were given the chance to vote for or against
each of the nine proposals that president obama has made to reduce gun
violence now
the way this poll was done was it was not framed as president obama's whatever
there were no words in there that would imply that these are about proposals
belonged to one or another politician her party
and when you just asked people what is your opinion do you favor or oppose
these specific
measures people overwhelmingly favor them now this is not a surprise lewis
when we what we asked people about national health care when you put when
you take it out
the politicize the language
you get people overwhelmingly in favor of national health care and believing
the government should provide some basic level here
happens with so many thanks right
same thing with these uh... issue so for example
uh... americans are most in favor of requiring background checks for all gun
sales ninety one percent when you don't say president opa most her radical power
grab which would require background checks you to say r_u_ four against
background checks for everything will go on sale
ninety one percent say yeah i got i'm in favor of that if you say what about
increasing funding for mental health programs aimed at youth
eighty two percent are in favor of that
increasing funding to train law enforcement and schools
by and responding to these armed attack seventy-nine percent in favor of that
increasing criminal penalties for people who buy guns for others straw purchasers
seventy five percent favor even the ones that art as popular for example limiting
the sale or of ammunition magazines to those with ten rounds or less
with that
fifty four percent are still in favor of that so what's the issue here
these things are politicize
people who make decisions along political lines because as we see when
you ask people about the proposals themselves and come to force them from
president obama's name
there is overwhelming support their support ranging from fifty four to
ninety one percent for all nine proposals
okay what does this tell us what's the way forward i don't know i'd really
don't know the question
i'm sure you could ask the majority of people who are against obama's plan
to name one
one aspect of it may probably would not be able to do that maybe not
and the majority i think would not be able to whether these measures will be
the most effective way to curb gun violence is another discussion not
intended to be part of this discussion i can only help solar working on this we
we have a situation where the republicans are essentially against the
will of the majority
right so lives dot on mon as is well yet but not always i mean these are the kind
of new things i think these stats have probably changed as a response to
newtown even today so alexei has right
i mean basically what obama needs to do is to go out and to use the bully pulpit
as much as possible to basically get amass amount of people to contact their
congressmen to actually vote for this day is essentially the republican house
is going to be the main obstacle in right
huge obstacle
