The 3 Big Things you need to know today.
Rep. Paul Broun makes his announcement. Who will get in? Broun will count on the grassroots to support and they need to learn to give money. It's expected that Rep. Tom Price and Rep. Jack Kingson will get it. Rep. Phil Gingrey is considering. He's got the most money, but potentially the most baggage also.
Guns and Chicago--finally someone taking a stand on the deaths there. We mourn the deaths of people in Colorado, Arizona and Newtown mass shootings, but there are 10 black youths on average a week dying in Chicago in shootings and it's been going on week in and week out for 2 years. Where's the outrage for the deaths in the President's back yard. I rarely agree with Jesse Jackson, but he's right here. Also, Kennesaw has a requirement to have a gun in every household and they have one of the lowest violent crime rates. Tim doesn't believe it. And Brenau University says as a private university, they can ban guns. Can a private institution circumvent the Constitution?
Immigration committees meet in the White House and the House of Representatives. What will be the plan. The House says they have a plan, the Senate says they have a plan and the President says he has a plan, will they be able to work together?
And we'll finish it up with a very funny spoof on the Paul Harvey commercial for Dodge Trucks from the Super Bowl. What do you think?
