the identity of the person responsible for a mass murder at a local business in south carolina remained a mystery for 13 years, until the incredible rescue of a woman in a seemingly unrelated missing persons case. that's when cops were finally able to nab a serial killer who had quietly stalked spartanburg county. scott ponder was the quintessential southern charmer, a local boy with a penchant for fast bikes who spun his passion for suzukis into a thriving local business in spartanburg, south carolina. >> he was the type that would take $5 and turn it into 50, and take $50 and turn it into 500. >> he had a fantastic mind. the dealership actually started that january of that year. it just kept growing and growing. >> and it was a family affair that even brought scott's mom into the fold. >> she would take deposits to the bank, just anything that she could do to help. she just enjoyed the privilege of being around her son. >> superbike motorsports became a thriving haven for racing enthusiasts in a part of south carolina, known for its wide open roads, all with the help of mechanic chris

that's in south carolina.we are informed that her patriotic heart beats an ardent response to the great southern movement and that her only regret is that she cannot bring the tomb of washington with the south. cunningham is furious because she did not say that. and that they would dare to call her political as another that really bothers her. of course, today we would see her as a very political woman pushing for going to congress, lobbying for funds and things like this. but she says before this, i've made it a rule to never notice any editorial notices of myself. it's more ladylike to pass them by. however, it is most improper and indelicate to draw a lady into the quote, political arena. so, again, she is kind of differentiating between what is political and what is not. also, how improper it is to, quote, do it in connection with her relations to an association formed to have joint ownership and guardianship of the grave of one father of all. no matter how our country is divided to quote, throw such a fir

s checks with me now is a leading voice for democrats, congressman jim clyburn of south carolina. congressman clyburn, why target musk and not president trump in this first move by democrats in the house? >> well, thank you very much for having me. >> well. >> people voted for trump irrespective of whether or not i liked the outcome. he did get the votes. nobody has voted for musk. musk has not been vetted. we have no idea who he is. interests are of what? his interests are. and that's why i redirected this at him. the president hasn't been voted upon is one thing, but musk that nobody has voted for has not been vetted, has not been subjected to any kind of background checks going into everybody's personal business, and nobody knows whether or not he's in the business of his competitors. nobody knows exactly what he's up to. so that's why we're aimed at him. and he is the one going in and out of these buildings, these offices are computers, not the president. >> so many voters, especially in your home state of south carolina, i'm sure, would agree that wasteful spending by the u.s

not columbia, missouri or columbia, south carolina. the country of colombia. $32,000 for a transgender comic book in peru. $2 million for sex changes in lgbt activism in guatemala. this is what they're mad about. that the veil is coming down. russ vought is going to be part of this reform movement. and it is amazing to me the response i often hear on this floor. well, what's $2.5 million? what's $6 million? what $1.5 million? tell that to the truck driver work being his tail off? tell that to the waitress who is working an extra shift to afford to send her kid to a school that she wants to go to or for a family saving up to go to washington, d.c., to show their kids our nation's capital. it is insulting. it is insulting to taxpayers. so a reckoning indeed is coming. it's coming. and we've been waiting for far too long to have accountability in our government. business as usual just isn't working for working families anymore. so this team that president trump has assembled and put together, i'm seeksed for them -- i'm excited for them t

so that's something that south carolina had signed on for yet would not obey. national laws were passed the civil rights act, the voting rights act. and so, from my point of view, at least, and i think from the nation's point of view, that was good. we are clearly in a different era now, and we're in an era when state power. i do think is important, and it's an important bulwark against what appears to be runaway, destructive, really damaging federal power in the person of president donald trump. >> yeah. and i mentioned specifically the states rights history, because some of those republican voices we heard there had a very particular thing in mind when they said it. and yet the founders did not did not want presidents who could, for example, pardon offenses in every state. and that looks like a wise limit on president trump's power today, given that he just did something that people will hear this word unthinkable a lot, gene, but most people ten years ago would have said it's unthinkable to have a sitting president pardon any sedition with attacks on police
