Thank you for saying that background checks make sense. and i think that hasu become unnecessarily politicized that issue. so lets start there. they do work. there is evidence of based on states experiences that when background checks are increased, gun deaths go down. when they are decreased, gun deaths go up. thats a given. >> you can give me one state though? can you back that up with state stats? go. >> yes. the state of missouri according to johns hopkins university research when background...

Love him. >> i spent a few hours today going back and reading 1992, particularly 1992 patrick buchanan coverage, particularly in new hampshire, a state he won. that was the same new hampshire voters in many ways and everything about patrick buchanan you could sub in trump and it reads the same, the people hes attracting, the way the establishment doesnt know what to do with him. we have seen this before. theres no guarantee that new hampshire with its wise voters chooses the person that isnt the...

The winner. >> repent or you should be >> you know, youve done this before. you know what youre doing. >> okay. well, well just have to see how it goes, i think. >> in kansas city, professor tom higham of oxford university is trying to figure out a way of drilling into a relic of john the baptist. >> i think its best to go in here. >> he hopes to date the carbon inside the bone and perhaps even get a dna profile that can then be matched against the first century relic he has already tested from ...

Very small relics, tiny bones, it becomes very, very difficult to get a useful enough sample size if were to extract the collagen for dating. >> with limits to how far he can drill, he cant be sure theyve got enough to determine whether this bone could have belonged to john the baptist. in jerusalem, the more john the baptist denounces herod, the more he risks inflaming herods anger. with all the danger that could follow. >> you could talk about repentance and judgment day and maybe not get into...

Drilling into a relic of john the baptist. >> i think its best to go in here. >> he hopes to date the carbon inside the bone and perhaps even get a dna profile that can then be matched against the first century relic he has already tested from bulgaria. >> its the collagen part of the bone that we want to date. thats the protein part. and that, in modern people, is about 20% by weight. but of course, in older materials, the collagen decays and degrades. and so its often not present in that large...

>> right. so kids do have lead. but for the last 30 years the public health world has done a great job. we got lead out of paint, got lead out of gasoline, weve got these great home abatement levels. sought lead levels every year have been going down in children. >> for decades. >> for decades. and in the city of flint theyve been going down every single year. but after this water switch happened they spiked up. >> and when you saw that, how many samples roughly were you looking at before you re...

And our sample size more than quadrupled and we saw the same findings. and they were statistically significant. we had over 1,700 samples. equal number before the water switch happened compared to after the water switch happened. and thats where we saw the dramatic increases. >> and when you went public with that increase, my understanding from looking at a lot of the good local reporting on the subject is that the state, the snyder administration essentially tried to discredit you. and tried to...

>> right. >> now, that poll he was referring to is relatively small sample size, but it does give you an idea of the bind that the republican party is in. even though they really dont agree with trumps rhetoric on this specific issue of banning muslims, they definitely dont want to inspire him to mount a third-party challenge. when you talk to republicans, a lot of them feel like that would be a guarantee for hillary clinton to walk away with a presidential win come november. a few other republi...

That entire time in the state of iowa. and ive got to commend dr. carsons super pac for all the work theyve done on the ground out here. they mounted a very good ground game. theyve been at it for two years. this is probably bearing the fruits of that labor. img one of the things, in all due respect to ms. seltzer and her polls, and she does a marvelous job, is that theres still some thought that -- take a look at the sample size. the other thing is, all the people that come to our rallies and t...
