raise or blame for it. >> if people could just put the labordoodles. >> if we could have office dogs more people would be geniuses. >> i love the idea of the labradoodle inventor being like "what have i done." thank you for joining us this hour. they thought they had a plan. they thought they knew what was going to happen. then it all fell apart in the most public way possible. last week at exactly this time you might remember we were in a count down to the shut down of the department of homeland security. republicans thought they had a plan but their plan did not work. republicans in congress thought they would get president obama over a barrel they would force him to change immigration policies by threatening to shut down the homeland security department if he didn't. now president obama has faced these kinds of threats from republicans before.
6:01 pm
he basically adopted a consistent policy of not blinking when they do stuff like this. he just waits for them to come to their senses. but the republicans love this stuff. i think they like how it plays with their base voters. but they appear to like trying to wield leverage against president obama to try to use, holding the government against the way by it's throat by a way of trying to force the president to do something he doesn't want to do. the republicans love this stuff. they have a plan. the republican leadership put forward their plan to keep the fight with president obama going for weeks. they were going to push it back for three more weeks to keep this fight with president obama going for three more weeks. they put forward a bill, three weeks of funding, that was the republican leadership's bill. they took a recess they counted their votes, they whipped their votes, and when they were sure
6:02 pm
they had enough votes to pass near own plan they brought their own plan to the floor. and their plan was not a good plan. they counted, can they were sure they had the votes and they didn't. nancy pelosi had to say okay here this is what we'll do. and they gave up. oklahomaland security did not shut down. and the republicans gotting in from president obama from pushing it from the brink of shutting down. they got nothing, zero. that was their leverage nothing. president obama held a signing ceremony and everything when it came tine to sign on the line for his total victory in this fight that the republicans
6:03 pm
picked. a fight they picked and lost. they lost it on their own terms. the terms they set when they could not even count their own votes on their own bill. the man in charge of counting the votes for the republicans in the house, the man they picked for that job supposedly because he would with so great counting the votes of the guys that like messing with the leadership so much. they they few whether they would pass or not. the guy they picked for that guy is steve scalise. republican congressman from louisiana. for coining the votes, they introduced and then yanked at the last minute their own abortion bill border bill,
6:04 pm
education bill, and with hours to spare before shutting down the department of home laend security they introduce, didn't yank, and failed their own bill. that is why we have a department of homeland security. steve scalise has only had this job for a couple months now. he was a controversial choice for that job anyway. not just because of his math skills, but because of what he describes as a mistake in his past when he spoke to a white supremacist group in his hometown. he spoke to david duke's group early in his career. he said they should see him,
6:05 pm
steve scalise, as david duke without the baggage. david duke who was a klan leader they did an article about the prospect of him making a kkk run for congress in louisiana. they talked to other republicans in the state that might be interested in running for that same seat. that is the article from 1999. and steve scalise says he embraces many of the same conservative views but he is far more viable. they are smart enough to realize they need to get behind someone that can get elected. david duke has proven he can't get elected. that is the end of the quote. david duke has proven he can't get elected. but he steve scalise, could. and he did. and then republicans this year
6:06 pm
this year the republican party made him their number three leader in congress. because she so good at counting the votes which actually he is terrible at. they never expressed so many concerns. during that whole controversy, they never said anything on the record that they ever have a problem with it. tomorrow when thousands of people converge on selma, alabama. and the anniversary of bloody sunday, president obama will be there with his family. congressman john lewis who led the march in 1965 and was beaten to the point of a fractured skull at that march will be there as well. he has at every congressmen ration year. year after year. to please come with him to
6:07 pm
selma. john lewis will be there for this 50th congressmen ration and more than 100 members of congress are expected to be there this week to commemorate selma. but from the republican controlled out, as of this afternoon, none of their leaders were going. this was the headline all day. g.o.p. leaders to skip selma event. none of the leaders of the house. conceive scalise, kevin mccarthy, it might be awkward to send steve ska lis. this was the word all day. and then late tonight, kevin mccarthy apparently had a change of heart. now kevin mccarthy decided he will make the trip to selma after all. we reached out to his office and
6:08 pm
they confirmed the trip is now on his schedule. a late addition. the march in selma 50 years ago was for voting rights. the blood spilled led to the passage of the voting rights act. the conservative majority gutted that same voting rights act saying if they would get those protections back. republicans in congress have refused to do that. so we're in a weird situation. former president george w. bush will be there at the selma march, tomorrow. and president obama will be there tomorrow with his family. and 100 members of congress will be there. up until tonight, none of the republican leadership was going to be there. mitch mcconnell will not either. his republican controlled senate is busy slow walking the nomination of the first every
6:09 pm
african-american woman nominated to be attorney general. she was nominated to be attorney general before a man named ash carter was nominated for defense secretary. she was nominated before him. no substantive objections have been raised to either nomination. he is already serving, but the republicans in congress will not let there be a vote on her yet. she has waited longer than any nominee in decades for a vote on her nomination. mitch mcconnell has been very busy with that he won't with there this weekend. the last major national civil rights congressmen ration where the president spoke and it was a true national event was august 2013. a massive, massive event held at the lincoln memorial to honor the march on washington from 50 years ago where dr. martin luther king brought his "i have
6:10 pm
a dream speech." republican leadership in congress in total skipped that event as well. none of them went. it is the sellma march and event. it is one thing to use these about the progress people can have. it is one thing to use thing things as a benchmark for the ragged dissatisfied march. one of the two major political
6:11 pm
parties right now don't even really care about the basic window dressing on this stuff any more. steve scalise, david duke without the baggage? sure, put him in the leadership. we won't say anything about the david duke stuff, we're fine with it. voting rights act? no. selma? busy. this should not be a democratic or republican thing. in 2015 it inarguably is. joining me now congressman g.k. butterfield. thank you for being here tonight, a pleasure to have you here. >> thank you, rachel. >> i know you will be in selma this weekend for the 50th anniversary. can you tell me what is moochbs to you at this time in our country what it means to be at
6:12 pm
the commeration. we are remembering the 50th anniversary of bloody sunday. they will hopefully instier and encourage many of my republican friends to understand the history of the voting rights movement and what it meant to the african-americans and eventually to the country. >> there is a troubling contemporary fact right dmou is that there is a event. there is a bipartisan delegation, mr. kevin mccarthy saying late tonight that he will be attending. there is a show of support while
6:13 pm
the actual voting rights act seems to be vanquished. will this weekend be focused on that? >> it is good to hear that the major i did leader is coming to be part of this historic event. they need to be repaired. they were dealt a very severe blow. it protects the african-american communities all across the community from discriminatory voting changes. that part of the law is found to be unconstitutional and now we're waiting on congress to amend that part of the law so we can continue to enforce section five. we have groups all over the country that would participate in discriminatory actions if it
6:14 pm
were not for section five. this weekend is to commemorate bloody sunday. >> are you optimistic about that, sir? you practice real politics you have been very pragmatic. do you feel optimistic about that prospect? >> you know we talked about this about a year ago, and let me tell you. i believe after this weekend, my republican colleagues have witnessed what african-americans and the south went through. and i believe this will be enlightning enlightenning to numb of our friends, and remain hopeful and trusting that we can worken the amendment for voting rights act. >> thank you for your time
6:15 pm

>> when an oil train with over 100 cars derailed yesterday, some of the tanger cars full of 70,000 gallons of north dakota crude each some punctured, political open and exploded. the brave firefighters of the galena fire department were there, but they quickly decided they were no match for the huge inferno of these burning exploding train cars. so the fire department retreated. they left thousands of dollars of equipment behind. and they left the fire to basically burn itself out. it has not. it is still burning right now. the derailment was yesterday afternoon and it is still on fire. you can also see from these photos that the rail company's
6:21 pm
estimation of six cars went off the tracks it was way off. today we learned it was 21 cars that went off of the tracks. at of this afternoon, the 21 cars that went off of the tracks, 14 were in a pig pile on top of each other. they said they knew that 7 of the 14 were punctured already and have been on fire. firefighters believe now that two cars terribly exploded and it moved to fife cars. the oil was pooling under the cars and making it hard to determine how many were on fire. right now they're still burning and nobody knows how long it will take to get this fire put out. here is the part where they start talking about a controlled burn. and it starts to all seem kind of nuts. listen to had, we got this from the local sheriff's department
6:22 pm
today. apparently one of the oil tanker cars that is obviouslyly ripped own and is burning, they have been spraying it with water all day to keep it from not just burning but blowing up like a giant bomb. the runoff from the water they were spraying on the ripped open tanker car. the runoff that is water and oil, that is running off into a little makeshift pond along size the wreck on the train tracks. and that pond is getting full. they don't want to keep spraying more water to keep that burning car from exploding if they means the pond of oil runoff water will breech it's banks and goo into the gale in a river, and the mississippi river, and the wild life refuge they're near. so they made the decision this afternoon to stop spraying
6:23 pm
water. stop spraying the water keeping that burning car from blowing up. they're stopping doing that so that car will blow up. they're making a decision about it. look at this local decision. fire responders will retreat to a safe distance. the cessation of the water being sprayed on the take will cause a heat-induced tear. protecting the water way, but setting the thing off like a bomb. that car full of 70,000 gallons of crude oil. this is how we deal with bomb strains, oil trains when they blow up. we let them burn because we have no choice. we let them blow up and hope they don't take too much with them when they go.
6:24 pm
that is the strategy. the one in west virginia burned for four days. and like that train, this new train, that is just derailed in galena illinois. this train, too, was one of the ones with the new and improved rail cars that are supposed to keep this from happening. the supposed safer cars designed not to split open when they derail. they were involved in yesterday's crash, last month's crash, and the cars in the crash a few days before that one in canada. also in the oil train crash much in virginia last may. all of these involve the new safer rail cars that the industry volunteered to start using. to try to stop so many oil train explosions from happening. this is all the new and improved stuff. right now as the obama administration works on new regulations for oil trains these cars are the standard that

there is a whole tv show dedicated to people who pan for gold. not like historically but today. it's called "gold rush." it is on the discovery channel. it has been for five seasons now. but the whole thing is literally about people who pan for cold in alaska. which is apparently big business there. it is apparently captivating to watch it get done. millions of people watch the show every week. seriously millions of people. the same goes for "talking dead." you heard about the tv show "walking dead." there is not that but there is an after show called "talking dead" that millions and millions of people watch every week after they watch "the walking dead." even more millions than watch
6:35 pm
"the gold rush." this show you're watching right now is also on cable tv but you know what? nobody in cable news has anything that can compete with like the gold mining show or the talk show about the zombie show. in cable news we don't operate in that stratosphere. we get swamped by things like the zombie aftershow. the closest that anyone on cable news gets to good ratings, gets to the ratings of like "gold rush" or the recap show for "the walking dead" is the bill o'reilly. they're all conservative all the time. they're the big kacahona. there is a problem that fox has not figured out what to do with. they have issued two
6:36 pm
corrections/clarifications where he said he was an eyewitness to nones being shot in the head in el salvador. fox news corrected and clarified both of those remornings to say that he had not seen those things. what appears to be mr. o'riley's claim to be near someone at the qfk assassination. he made the apparently false claims as recently as this past november. instead of correcting apologizing, or publicly addressing the issues raised about whether their star anchor has misrepresented his own role in news stories, the initial
6:37 pm
instinct there has been to stand by him while he he attacked reporters covering the story. he has literally threatened reporters. and probably do not take kindly to this. now they have moved on to strategy round two. their new strategy for trying to paper over this with the highest profile guy in this whole part of our national people ya their strategy is essentially to say who cares? he has great ratings. when the media watchdog eye media ethics asked about the growing list of allegations made, this is what they got back. when asked for comment on the
6:38 pm
latest series of questions about o'riley that his ratings have gone up. they also provided a statement that did not address the substance of the allegations against mr. o'riley. when we reported on this story earlier this week that's what they told us too. we contacted the fox news channel again to ask if they would give us any comment on the substance of these allegations in what was a very unexpected and sort of amusing development, they didn't -- we asked them for comment on the substance of the allegations. what they sent us was a lot of information about how great bill
6:39 pm
o' o'riley's ratings are. i have seen your ratingings shoot my ratings in the head well in pictures anyway. fox was asked for comment and fox said i completely misrepresented their communication with this program. for the record what i said on wednesday night is quite literally true. we asked for a comment on the substance of these allegations about mr. o'riley. they sent us a previous statement defending bill o'riley. they sent us contact information for his book publishers which is nice, but we asked for a fox news comment, and links to other people's articles about bill o'
6:40 pm
o'riley. they gave us no new comment. but they did give us all of that junk and a cash of data on how great his ratings are. and yes, you're ratings are great. stipulated. out of all of us in cable news you get the closest to the zombie after show and the gold rush guys. excellent for you, truly. but seriously, that cannot be the response of a news network to substantive allegations that your talent is lying repeatedly on the air about news stories. repeatedly, recently, and repeatedly. they essentially say turns out lying is good business for us. it is also untenable for a news organization to say that the
6:41 pm
facts of what gets said on their air, as news do not matter. not if the ratings are good. honestly, that cannot be your position. people treat fox news like it is sort of a news organization right? the fox news channel and organizations are about to host a bunch of major party organizations coming up. there are real news people that work there and they want to be seen as a real news organization. they demand to be. but if they're defense is that it's okay if they lie on the air as long as it rates -- this cannot hold. maybe it is getting to them. last night mr. o'rilley spent much of his show talking about
6:42 pm
msnby. honestly the fox news channel cannot be seen as a news channel as long as that continues to be true. ultimately, that's what it is. okay! let's go go, go, go... woah! go right, go left, go left stop! now go...
