everythyou were once...at now, pretty bad at. it's the same for credit. even if you're not good at it now, that's okay. because credit isn't just a score. it's a skill. experian. be better at credit. coverage continues tonight. house democrats remain on the house floor, protesting refusal to any law. the house is back until 2:30 a.m. eastern. house speaker paul ryan will call for more votes. what you see on the screen there, right there, the live

sit-in footage. this is earlier in the broadcast, not from the house floor, what we see usually from c-span. but members of congress, democrats, holding their cameras live. we will continue to show it to you. paul ryan called far vote overriding president obama's veto earlier tonight that would have made it easier for financialed visors, for advice that runs against their retirement accounts. >> this is not at all regular order. >> the chair appreciates that members will differ on members of policy. >> house democrat leaders yelling "shame." >> do your job! >> the chair would hope that the business of the house could be conducted -- >> enough is enough. we're going to make sure that

the speaker hears us. >> we're prepared to stay there all night. >> the democrats broke out in song, singing "we shall overcome." >> i have been here, you are with us with the truth. you must never, ever give up. or give in or give out. >> those are just some of the scenes we have seen unfolding. the live shot here you're looking at, is jerry nadler. and the violence. and occupied.

and again, demand, similar to what they dealt with earlier after the orlando massacre, around a no fly list and around background checks. just a few hours ago an attempt to end the sit-in for the first time, speaker paul ryan basically reconvened the house and a vote as we mentioned on unrelated services matter. you see the democrats on the floor holding up the signs. those signs are names of people who have died in gun vi we have a vote coming in. and luke russert and others. let's take a look at floor. and the footage from . . . it is the only way we know how to bring this attention, to bring this subject in a way that might force the saaction.

secondly, he said we are not going to do no flight. i am very concerned of the due process rights. >> along with the senator and. [ inaudible ] -- that's not real here. what you are really saying with republicans and what the speaker are saying is okay, you can be a judge and so dangerous. >> the congress is speak zg min making the case of the due process. the idea that people can end up on the no buy list.

we'll go in and out there. i want to show you late breaking right now. what paul ryan will be waking up in the morning. trying to shame him and calling him "the lap dog of the nra," the front center of the usa today. "we have been too quiet too long" >> nancy pelosi went outside the capitol while this demonstration was going on in the house. she went outside to greet some of the people who gathered in and around the house, lets look at that. >> you give us hope. i don't know what will happen.

. . . . a gunman came in with only one intent of killing as many people as possible. once again we had a moment of silence on the floor of house. it became only a short apparent that we had so many moments of silence and gone as business as usual. the american people are sick and tired of this. we would do anything to try to change what's happening in america that 20 people have access to these weapons. the that's why you see this tipping point. there is a level of frustration that america has not seen many, many years, the frustration of congress, republican congress

continues to do nothing to address this issue. and, we are sick and tired of it. >> we are not going to sit around with it. >> what would happen if you got this vote on the floor? >> i think it would be a good start. >> do you think you will win? >> whether we have win or not. the american people could assess the number of congress as how they vote on the bill. if they had a vote and that's all we are looking for. no matter how it goes that the people aside, as how the representatives voted. >> what do you think people looking at this and say well, congress does not work that well and often. the house does not do that much. this entire effort is a further break down of the rules. i mean anyone could go to a local town hall, city council meeting or pseeing protesters i

events, there is activistism in protest. if members of congress did this any time they want a vote, you would get less of it. >> actually, the reality is nothing has been done to address gun violence in america. thousands of people lost their lives due to gun violence. we are frustrated and you are not doing anything at all. i don't disagree with them. at the same time, it cannot be taken as usual practice here. quite frankly, the american people are sick and tire of this bloodshed. >> congressman, we are looking

at the house floor and we are looking to going in the 16 hours sit in by 2:30 a.m. of this resar restart thing happening. you guys are going to f a vote and the republicans are going to look to get out of town. what is your plan? are you prepared to stay on the floor day after day, what is the democratic plan now that you made your point? >> we have said and we'll stay here tomorrow. we have plans to be here tomorrow and we have planned to be here on friday. that was part of the schedule up until a few minutes ago. we have every intention to be here in washington and i intend to be here in washington, tomorrow. >> i believe that maybe a conference, that's being talked about. i intend to be here tonight and tomorrow morning and continue this tomorrow as well. the house will be gavelled in and we'll take every opportunity to right the american people of a lack in progress here in

washington and what the caucuses are not doing for the people >> congressman, thank you for joining us. >> our coverage continues here. i am going to go to john allen who has been following these types of stories for a long time. we have just added our live coverage because of our house staying this late. >> what do you think they'll say as we get more votes? >> not necessarily to win the policy but to get the vote. they want to put the republicans on the record and have an opportunity to take that record and individuals across the country to the voters. their view is hopefully, that'll cause the republicans some seats. i don't think they are pt sti

optimistic about that. >> either republicans will vote for gun control or they will not have votes at all if democrats are against them or preferably if you are a democrat -- >> yes, we spoken of the policy of it and the unusual nature of it. >> on politics, it has been that they don't fight as hard and for example, the supreme court nomination, the senate is currently blocking and president gave a speech or two and talk about it all day and blogging here and block another thing. >> do you see this as a different in attitude and political progressiveness on democrats to be stepping up on this issue right now. >> absolutely, the basic question voters ask of potential leaders and people running for offices of what we fight for. in this case, i think voters are

seeing what democrats are fighting for and some voters are saying they don't want to see gun control and a lot of democratic voters, they're excited of what they are seeing on the floor tonight. you have been talking about the break down and the house as i listen to you through the evening tonight. no doubt, this is something that is exceptional and different and speaks to that break down of the institution and at the same time it is something that from a political perspective, eventually from a policy perspective of gun control and taking that fight and making stand and the vote if that's what they want to fight for. >> do you see any other way out for republicans. if they turn around and say fine, we'll hold the vote on banning assault rifles which they thought it is a winning issue for them campaigning with

democrats, certainly is not one. is there any other way out here for republicans turning to the politics of it? >> the reason they all vote on this is for the exact reason of democrats want to and in terms of consequences for republicans in swing districts, the other reason they don't want to do it is it divides the republican party. >> republicans are fairly divided on this question of whether people on this no fly list have ak saccess to guns ju like everybody else. they're trying to unify themselves. the exit strategy and here is clear for paul ryan is to get out of town. >> jonathan allen, we are staying in town.

nbc's luke russert, the hardest working man outside there. all around the time, what are you seeing right now as it gets later and later at 2:15 a.m. there at the capitol. does it feel slightly more quiet or what's the mood? >> the height of this is around 10:00 p.m. when ryan was in the speaker's chair and the house democrats shouted them down. we are trying to figure out right now when exactly the last vote is going to be which is supposed to be ten or fifteen minutes and whether or not these are the last votes of the week which mean the house is in recess until july 5th. >> the republican of virginia, maybe she has the schedule and does not want to answer the question there. >> was that live reporting? >> yeah, that's live reporting

right there. >> it is 2:20 a.m., we can try something. . that's what we are looking at right now. have the republicans condense the schedule so they taken the business that was supposed to occur today on thursday and tomorrow on friday, front loaded it and they're going to vote on all of it tonight and you said no bill, no break? well, we are the guys in charge. we are going to move the things in florida that we need to move, zika and funding in this case and funning bills -- it is all part of the process then we'll go to break and we are done. you guys can sit here and carry out your protests and do what you want. >> luke, on that point, you and i both spoken on democratic in the house tonight.

>> are we seeing any hints at this late hour from your reporting are they are running the risk of having this 14 hours house innovative filibuster and a day or two later packing it up and leaving it themselves. >> reporter: they are surprised how this has taken a grasp in the country of which people gravitated towards it. >> they don't know how this ends because they did not expect it

to be this big and going this long. the other thing if you can remember, this was not a new eastern spanty nancy pelosi's deal. this grew in the caucus. they're pushed around since they been in the minorities since 2011. there is a group within this democratic caucus that's fired up about this and believed that this is a truly a great cause. the democrats, the polling is behind them and the spirit of the country is behind them and they should not get any ground. the opposition part of it, essentially, pulls the rug from under, hey, you know what? we are not going to be here tomorrow. the floor is done. you no longer have former opposition in the room with and the question becomes how did that work? you are not necessarily occupying the floor because there is nothing to be done on the floor. >> i think that for optimiststi

will be interesting. >> i don't know if anyone expected to be up at this hour. >> luke russert, thank you for your reporting. we have more votes coming in. more votes coming resolving whether republicans are willing to shut it down and how they try to vacate the house, stay with us, we are live after a quick break. >> we want action, we had 11 mo moments of silence and 11 mass shootings. we are saying enough ils enough.

[ screams ] [ chanting, do your job ]

>> we are live with special coverage reporting what has turn into a historic evening and well into the morning of capitol hill. this is our hour 16 as we are entering with democrats demanding that paul ryan and speaker of the house to use their votes on gun control. instead, a vote on zika -- this is the potentially the standoff that could determine what happens to this democratic gun control citizens. it is happening live right now in the next hour, we'll be right back. like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess.

i live in a house with a man who has access to a gun. i know what it is like to see a gun pointing at you and wondering if you are going to

live. i know what it is like to hide in the closet and pray to god, do not let anybody happen to me. >> that was congresswoman. democrats are holding and demanding votes on gun control. tell us what join did you join the sit in and what you have seen today? >> reporter: good morning ari, i joined in the morning about 11:45 a.m. and it is now 2:00 a.m. and we are still here, standing our ground for an opportunity to be the voice of our community to have thousands of people who have been killed and gun violence. >> what do you think you will achieve though? >> i think what i have achieve so far is we are seeing a lot of frustrations on the part of republicans and they're sitting in the back and grumbling and

upset that we have been allowed to sit in and, you know, they'll continue to ignore us and members of congress, they'll not be able to ignore their -- one o f the many things that's different about today's night and now into the early morning, we are seeing members broadcast the house floor. that's the video we are relying on. the formal radio where c span was cut-off under republican control, how planned in advance was that and how much does that matter? and you thought of the social media aspect of trying to route around rule that you guys vote

for yourself. >> not at all. >> this was not an effort that was planned in any way. >> had i plan for today, i would not be wearing pants and the majority of the day sitting down on the floor, and social media, you know, social media is a way for us to help us communicate with your constituents. it was really a movement that started within the members. when they set the microphone down or the camera down, they thought they're going to step down their voices to the world. >> instead, we turn to the media, yes, we are violating the rules or the house. >> in this case, it is necessary. >> america needs to know and speak with themselves, don't believe us. >> see for yourself of what's going on here and how republicans have turned this

what is supposed to be a democratic process into a big dictator ship. >> what about. >> the house absolutely has rules. we have been left with no other choice. >> other other than who resort to what we are doing today and asking for a vote and issues that are important to our community. >> 720,000 people are depending on me to feed their boys here and congress. >> speaker ryan had refused to have a debate and even automatic about this epidemic of gun violence in our community. >> i want to ask you one other point of a lot of discussions about how of the gun violence in

the united states is an ungoing epidemic. "the chicago tribune," i don't know if you will see it yet. during the house floor sit in as a last hour, 30 people have been shot in chicago alone. >> what do you think of those kind of numbers according this incident. >> it is outstanding that these kinds of numbers are coming out. neither two people are murdered in our community. those people don't matter to representati representative ryan. >> speaker ryan by refusing for us to have a voice and an opportunity. the same issue and to be the talk about and allowing the cdc to do a study on gun violence. >> how effective is his leadership when he's allowing

this to happen in his own help. >> congresswoman, thank you for your late time tonight. we appreciate it. >> sorry, let me try it over. >> we are going to dip back in of what you are seeing in the corner and don't democrats, theying they'll continue no matter what. the public are going to structure their vote to try to get out of town and we are going see it in a moment exactly what happened and how many democrats stay or whether the light stays on. we are in uncharged territory and we'll have more on this after the break.

the at -- >> no break. >> no break. >> military construction and veterans affairs of the district work period, i yield back of my time and i proved the previous question on the resolution. >> the question is an adoption of the solution, those in favor say no. >> mr. speaker, is it a customary where we came up with the bill? >> gentleman is asking for a

next 20 minutes. we have all the stores for you live on the house floor right after this break.

an unusual scene unfolding right now in the house of representatives as republicans are preparing for a final vote to adjourn. you are looking at videos as the democrats calling in for the house floor. we were in break actually. this footage that we are watching that we don't control panning around in the view of the day and we could see congressman john lewis who will begin this protest and seat dedn the floor. >> this is something where it auld en ends.

from lewis. much of the sit in members were taking turns talking. they were not physically seated. we are seeing something as they know procedurely, they are going to be one or two votes weigh when republicans try to recess this. >> they're taking their seats backup from the floor and very unusual. we are going to take a quick break and on the other side be able to show you the vote and where we go from here. stay with us.
