welcome back. as we reported earlier, there will be a memorial service for senator kennedy on friday at the kennedy presidential library in boston. a private funeral we now understand will take place saturday morning at our lady of perpetual help basilica. that's in boston. the senator will be buried later saturday at arlington national cemetery as you might expect next to the eternal flame where his brother, jfk, and bobby kennedy are also buried. we want to take a look at some of the things you are saying. many of you seem to be enjoying this newscast we are bringing you today, which is a combination of the news and the passing of senator ted kennedy. let's start at the top. it says, i am deeply sattenddeny our loss of teddy kennedy. what a splen did example of a man who learned to walk an

honorable path. the last of tleet musketeers. they made policy that will live forever. i am enjoying the show. thank you. ted kennedy did more for black people in america than michael jackson. why aren't they in the streets crying today? >> interesting question. >> once again, you revolutionized the way news is reported. >> my family and i are deeply sattened by the loss of teddy kennedy. thank you. it is about teddy. >> it is and we are going to continue to try and bring you some of the latest videos and pictures that tell his life story with those stills and those films that many of us have never seen before. we have more looks at senator kennedy's life coming up in a little bit. we are also going to be watching fires in california. that's important. there is a storm in the atlantic as well, it's named danny. how potentially is old danny

boy? chad is on it. we are going to join him in a little bit. stay with us. we're going to be right back.

ask yourself how many americans thought this? it was an interesting message sent to me on myspace. shoot that one right there at the very top. when ted ran for president, i remember my mother, who was a democrat, saying, that she would never vote for him because she was terrified that he would be assassinated, like his brothers. you will be so missed, teddy. isn't that interesting? interesting comment. by the way, some news i have to tell you about now. there is a new tropical storm that's popped out on the east coast. it is so knew that this morning's editorial meeting, they hadn't even gotten a good projected track on it yet. chad myers has been following it for the better part of the day. danny boy, right?

>> doesn't sound very ominous, does it? >> no. >> it is in the same place that bill was a week ago. the only difference, rick, is that when bill was here, it was already a category 2, category 3 storm and it was going to category 4. this thing is disorganized as can be. the center is over here. to be a good tropical event, you can't have winds only on one side. it must wrap around and make an eye. this thing isn't even close to that yet. the only problem is, it is farrell close to the u.s. east coast already. it is forecast to get stronger. you have heard of the gulf stream. that's the warm water. that warm water is the fuel to the fire. if you will notice, there is the whole cape hatteras era right there. >> i was going to say, like that cape hatteras magnet you and i talk about all the time. >> you bet. there is cape cod and there is maine. so here is the cone. we are right in it this time.

we are not saying out here to the ocean. now, the difference, i think, a lot of the united states request take a minimal category 1 hurricane. we can take some of the showers. there will be more showers on up the cape. that's why these things look like this, because of the way the water is coming through. if we do hit the cape or something like that, 60, 70-mile-an-hour winds will take some beach away but not make a catastrophic event. this could get bigger. we will have to watch it. >> before you go, what's going on with the fires out there in california? >> again, i guess they could use some rain, couldn't they? >> it never rains in southern california. that's a song i can sing over an over. here is covina. that would take you up to the morris dam area. there is the lake right through there. these helicopters have been flying into this lake getting water trying to put this fire out. here is what it looked like in the overnight hours. it is still on fire now.

750 acres as of this morning. it's burned all day. i'm sure we are over 1,000. 600 firefighters on the scene right now. helicopters in the air, phos-chek planes in the air. it is just choking smoke because we don't have any wind to get the smoke out of the way. that's okay. watch what you ask for, right? because you don't want wind. temperatures today may range almost to 100 degrees and relative humidity, rick, could be 6%. that's no help to the fire department at all. >> good stuff. both stories you did involved songs. you sang "it never rains in southern california" and i'll sing "danny boy" as a tribute to the late, great senator kennedy. back to the death of senator edward kennedy, we are going to start by giving you one more look at that piece we showed you at the very beginning of this hour. we have gotten so much response from you on twitter, myspace, facebook, we are going too give you a chance to see this once

again. here it is. another kennedy has thrown his hat into the national political arena. edward m. or ted officially announces his campaign for the massachusetts senate seat once held by his brother, the president. the youngest of the three brothers, he will face edward j. mccormick jr. nephew of the speaker of the house in the democratic primary. there are hot times brewing on the massachusetts political scene. at the state democratic convention, edward j. mccormick, 38-year-old nephew of house speaker, mccormick, speaks the party nomination for senator in a contest with edward "ted" kennedy, the youngest brother of the president. the two men both aim at the seats vacated by senator john f. kennedy when he assumed the office of president. it is a convention of noisy demonstrations that has the rafters ringing in springfield. 30-year-old ted kennedy wins the convention endorse the by nearly 2-1.

new faces on capitol hill. among them, 12 new senators. most interest centers around edward "ted" kennedy, the third brother to achieve success in the national political arena. >> from dallas, texas, the flash apparently official president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time. 2:00 eastern standard time, some 38 minutes ago. making a final stop on his tour of ireland, senator edward kennedy findses 100,000 people in the streets to give him a tumultuous sendoff. 70 degrees in the shade. very warm for the emerald isle. the temperature is at a new high to salute the brother of the martered president.

stay there.

let's bring you up to date. reaction of the death of senator ted kennedy. he has ordered all federal buildings to fly flags at half staff. senator kennedy will lie in repose at the john f. kennedy presidential library in boston on friday. a memorial service there friday evening and then a private funeral service saturday morning. that's going to be at boston's

our lady of perpetual health basilica. on saturday afternoon, senator kennedy will be buried at arlington national cemetery near the graves of his brothers, the eternal flame for john f. kennedy and sen. robert kennedy. under current law kennedy's senate seat will remain vacant until there is a special election. before he died, kennedy asked the state legislature to pass a bill that would allow the appointment of a temporary replacement for him, governor e deval patrick said he will sign that law if it is passed. sir, have you been drinking tonight? if you ride drunk, you will get caught... and you will get arrested.

...or if you're already sick... ...or if you lose your job. your health insurance shouldn't either. so let's fix health care. if everyone's covered, we can make health care as affordable as possible. and the words "pre-existing condition" become a thing of the past... we're america's health insurance companies. supporting bipartisan reform that congress can build on.

there is something going on we want to share with you. governor mark sanford of south carolina, his lieutenant governor came out earlier today and said that -- in so many wore, he seemed to be recommending that the governor resign, that it would be good for the state. now, governor sanford is expressing himself. let's listen in to see what he has to say. with all due respect to some in the media, maybe some think it helps sell papers. there are a variety of different reasons as to why this thing has been chronicled as it has. i don't mean that meanly. when you look at the fact that this state is going to run a $100 million deficit this year and the amount of coverage that has gotten versus some of these other things, it says, wait a minute, we do have some real big world issues that we've got to be talking about. that is incumbent upon even folks in the media to be talking

about some of those things. so, i guess, to cut to the chase, what i say in this letter is that i am not going to be railroaded out of this office by political opponents or folks that were never fans of mine in the first place or put a different way. a lot of what is going on now is pure politics, plain and simple. so what i talk about in my letter is, me hanging up the spur 16 months out, as comfortable as that would be, as much as i might like to that that on a personal basis, it is wrong, one, because as much as you might dislike somebody, it is not right to go out and try to rewrite history, because we have an incredible records when it comes to watching out for the taxpayer. there have been attempts to rewrite history on that front. >> at least from what we are hearing, if this is his response to his lieutenant governor, it does not sound like the governor is going to acquiesce.

earlier, as i mentioned, we heard the lieutenant governor say this he probably should think about stepping down. it doesn't sound like that's what governor mark sanford is saying. we wanted you to hear some of his response, if nothing else, to be fair to him. we know full well about ted kennedy's personal flaws that help squash his presidential ambitions. let's remember two moments from the life of ted kennedy. one, deeply familiar and one you may have forgotten. i want to take you back to the volatile summer of 1969. young senator kennedy, attended a party off of martha's vineyards. he was married at the time. kennedy left with a woman. her name was mary jo kopechne. she drown after his car plunged off of a bridge. the senator said that he tried to save her but, in fact, he waited for hours to call police. only after talking with advisers, that in a nutshell was

shap pa qu chappaquiddick. for some americans, it is the moment that they believe defined ted kennedy, perhaps you remember this. >> there has been no advanced text to the senators remarks. we go to hyannis port and a statement by senator edward kennedy. >> my fellow citizens, i have requested this opportunity to talk to the people of pass mass about the tragedy which happened last friday evening. this morning, i entered a plea of guilty to the charge of leaving a scene of the accident. no words can possibly express the terrible pain and suffering i feel over this tragic incident. this last week has been an agonizing one for me and for the members of my family and the

grief we feel over the loss of a wonderful friend will remain with us the rest of our lives. >> my father has always said to me, son, it is not how you fall. it is how you get up. well, that was ted kennedy's biggest fall. that was ted kennedy on chappaquiddick. his foes made sure it was a moment never forgotten, the no even to this day. a decade after that scandal, kennedy felt ready to try to follow in his older brother's footsteps and run for the presidency. now, i want you to watch this moment when kennedy was asked a simple question and he seemed unable to answer. >> why do you want to be president? >> well, i'm making the announcement to run.

the reasons that i would run is because i have a great belief in this country that it has more natural resources, the greatest educated population in the world, the greatest technology of any country in the world, the greatest capacity for innovation in the world and the greatest political system in the world, yet, i see at the current time that most of the industrial nations of the world are exceeding us because of productivity, are doing better than us in terms of meeting the problems of inflation. and on it went. kennedy's odd response to what was a pretty simple question. why do you want to be president? to some, the answer revealed kennedy didn't know or just truly didn't want it or as "time" magazine's joe klein rights today in a column that he sent me, he never really seemed

to feel like he deserved it, maybe compared to his brothers or his dad. the ultimate irony is that after his single failed bid for the white kennedy went on to accomplish more in the senate than some men have gotten done in the white house. health care is his issue of today, but during the civil rights movement, no person in congress did as much as ted kennedy.

glioblastoma. all right. we told you a little while ago we'd be getting some historic audiotape in from the lbj library. we have received that. this is the president of the united states at the time, 1964, and he's calling ted kennedy

right after ted kennedy's really horrible plane accident where a lot of people thought he would have lost his life. kennedy was in the hospital for about ten months after that. let's listen this. >> senator kennedy on line 0. >> hello? >> mr. president. >> my friend. i'm sure glad to hear your voice. >> thank you so much. listen, i wanted to call and tell you how much i appreciate it and we appreciate everything you've done. >> i haven't done anything. i haven't done anything. >> well, no, you sent all those wonderful people up from the army and the secretary, they made a great deal of difference and everyone's been so, so kind down here. and they take great care of me. >> well, you've got a bad break, but it'll -- my mother used to tell me that things like that develop character and make you stronger when you get older.

>> well, i don't know, mr. president. you know, anyway, i keep reading all that mail and say after all that, suffering a better man. i guess i'll take my chances. >> well, you're a great guy and you've got lots of guts. and stay in there and pitch. anything we can do we're ready. >> i appreciate it, mr. kennedy. joan wants to thank you for all the calls. >> amazing to be able to peer in through a moment in history like that. joining me next, row laland mar. no rest and relaxation in this segment. we'll go around and around on civil rights, human rights, the loss of ted kennedy and more. that's why you should consider...

something. so, you had two pilars, one person in daschle who knew the system inside and out, people externtly as well as internally. then you had the political personality of ted kennedy but also someone who has been championing universal health care for 40-plus years. so, there's no doubt not having him there was a critical blow to the white house effort to pass health care this year. >> let me ask you a question. tell me as an african-american man what the kennedy family and ted kennedy means. >> well, first of all, you have to go back to several different things. that is when john f. kennedy was running, he really achieved -- he really got to the black vote by making one phone call, when dr. king was held in a georgia jail, i believe, and they really didn't know where he was. he made a call and he received a significant amount from african-americans on that particular effort.

then, of course, as you go on through his administration, that you have even robert f. kennedy in terms of civil rights. what people don't realize is many civil rights leaders were very distrustful of the kennedys, especially robert. >> why? >> people remember robert kennedy approved the wiretaps on dr. king being pushed by j. edgar hoover. harry belafonte talked about that in various documentaries that they were not initially looking at robert f. kennedy as a supporter but his trip to the delta changed his view of poverty in this country and that was a turning point. i think what ted kennedy did going to the senate, he was able to carry that mandate, the civil rights act, the voting rights act, but keep in mind it was ted kennedy who amended the voting rights act to lower the voting age in the u.s. to 18 years old. so, if you're an 18-year-old person voting in the united states in any election, you have to thank ted kennedy for that. and so, again, this was somebody who had a tremendous impact in so many different areas. >> it seemed to me that when ted

kennedy spoke there was -- you know, politicians, you and i talk to them all the time. and many times you get a feeling that their words coming out of their mouth but there's nothing coming from the soul or the heart. and that may have been true at times with ted kennedy wnd a everybody, including you and me at times because there's just something else going on. he really believed in the spirit of equality. it seemed to me that everything he said about that and the way he took in barack obama as a man and as a senator and eventually as a president seemed heart felt. am i wrong? >> right. first of all, we heard that from senator christopher dodd and others, even vice president joe biden, which frankly he was amazing earlier today talking about ted kennedy. he talked about the passion he had. there's no doubt you understood and you felt that passion. but also he had gravitas. when he spoke, because he brought the kennedy legacy to bear, because he brought the years of experience, because he s
