aiken has a rich and phenomenal history. a lot of times people aren't aware of the history of the community that they live in. this facility will capture that history. i don't know if you know this or not, but aiken county was established by african-americans through, during the time of reconstruction. we want to tell the story of that history. i'm an african-american baptist pastor, and what i'm really excited about is the birth place of the african-american baptist church was at silver block baptist church here in aiken county. all of that story and all of the rich stories of aiken will be told at this cultural center, and we thank you for being here. at the end of everything, if you'd like to go on a tour, we'd love to show you what we're up to here at the cultural center. at this time we're going to invite dr. deborah jordan who's the chancellor, she'll come and give us remarks. [applause] >> thank you so much. >> i'm so honored to be invited to give a few remarks on this very important occasion. luckily, i was just in w

you all remember aiken and murdoch. they were abandoned by many wings of the conservative movement as well as the republican party. question is, are the phil robertson case and the aiken/murdoch cases different because of the statements each made? maybe. but it's also possible that the main difference in conservative unity was that aiken and hur dock were -- murdoch were candidates more office, and robertson wasn't. other wings of the conservative movement didn't like aiken and murdoch. they didn't like them to begin with. and they fought hard against them in primaries. so when the opportunity arose, these other wings quickly came out against these candidates in hopes of replacing them with other candidates who would represent their particular ideology better. as we all know too well, many of the worst public divisions in the movement result from conservative wings fighting each other in primaries and the political arena. the truth is this: for conservatives to win the right to govern, three core groups of the conservat

remember todd aiken? the biword todd aiken, well, he's been very quiet for the last two years.e of the things we noticed is that every day we subscribe to google alerts like everybody else does, and i always subscribe to todd aiken to see what people are saying about him. and it has never stopped. the criticism, you know, he's treated like a pariah for an interview he gave which lasted all of about 20 seconds was the controversial part. and, of course, he lost that senate race in missouri as a result that everybody, you know, putting distance between themselves and him. well; he's coming back after two years of being very quiet, and in july he is going to come out with a book called "firing back" published by wnd books. and i have to tell you, i think it's going to be -- you know, we've done some preliminary work with the media. so far there's not a single news agency, network that doesn't want to have todd aiken on to talk about it. [laughter] what i'm talking about, peter. so that's coming out in july. we've got a very interesting and diverse series of books. phyllis schlafly

would aiken's amendment get out of subcommittee? &b's ind exempt all b vermont from public accommodation. that amendment would sweep through all the hotels and b&b's in new england. i can't remember if that got through or not. >> under 50. >> under 50. one other thing about covering andy isecause i know going to bring it up unless i do. back then, cbs paid its reporters, in addition to their base salary, $25 every time they were on the radio and $50 every time they were on television. here i am, five times on television, 10 times on the radio, and my weekly salary went up from about $400 a week to a little more than $2000. when i realized this, my wife remodelingtarted well before the filibuster started. in the middle of this, i called my contractor and told him i wanted to switch the paneling from luan to cherry. [laughter] >> i never went to the office. we had desks in the senate press and we had western union and typewriters. if i did not have too much to drink and was still sober enough to write a story, which was in my interest

headway into the capital and south -- while i don't think they will make much headway to the south aikentill make life unpleasant for iraqis. i fear that the month the flames of sectarianism are being fanned. tothe americans were able negotiate deals. why can't iraq to the same? >> i think earl petraeus and ambassador crocker understood that's an important part of the strategy of dealing with the insurgents the. i am not certain even at this late date the current leadership is convinced it's a necessary refugee. -- strategy. strategyhink military is necessary i don't think it sufficient. we don't have the luxury of saying we will deal with the threat in the months ahead. he may not have month's for the unity of the country. exit sound like you are saying iraq needs a new government. >> i do. i think we need something along the lines of a government of national salvation. people are talking about national unity. aere is a provision for government with extraordinary powers under the supervision of parliament. i stress those words. i think we have reached that point. it's a very dire situat

the real danger is he becomes a todd aiken or sharon angle.s use their media megaphone to turn him into mr. republican and tarnish candidates in races nationwide. >> but they also have a real shot, alicia, at this particular election, they think, if mcdaniel is nominated on the republican side. they've got a candidate in travis childers, a former congssman with a good shot. >> a former congressman who is more conservative. >> that's a conservative democrat. >> that's right. and mississippi is not as perhaps as conservative or as republican as many believe. in fact, mitt romney won the state by 12 points compared to over 20 points in west virginia which has a democratic senator in joe manchin. >> the african-american vote is/. >> 30% of the voter registration is black. >> if the turnout is big, it goes for childers. >> no doubt the turn-up will go up from his comments. >> so what is the republican establishment, the party such as it is, come, but it doesn't as much as people think. how are the republicans going to handle this one? >> well, they

and a new york congressional race where their incumbent won and they think we don't have any todd aikens on the ballot. republicans have to make their best effort, the resources will be spread thin. they have the president who is always an issue in midterm elections, not even talking about obamacare but they'll come back to that in the fall, they have the va scandal and the irs. republicans think in terms of mojo they have a lot of things going for them. >> a lot of issues are important but they're not all. we are in a situation it's not clear it's going to be a nationalized election, it's not clear a lot of republicans want it nationalized. they've been avoiding putting out a national platform and in a midterm election that means it's about organization, and so republicans want to have their right people up front, want to have the organization behind them and they were able to do it to some degree in mississippi. >> if you're the chamber of commer commerce, you support immigration reform, you support the export/import bank, spending tens of thousands of dollars to help the establishment

suspected islamist militants kill 48 people in aiken y kenya resort. pictures emerge of killings of people. >>> a robot takes a job as a security guard to prove he is as good as we are. >>> michael has left the hospital. >>> hello. at least 48 have been killed in kendra during attacks by gunmen on a coastal town near lamu. the attack began shortly after evening prayers and lasted several hours. the gunmen thought to be from al shabaab group, sat fire to several hotels where people gathered to watch the world cup football. they also targeted a police station and bank. this comes days after the uk government closed here because of security concerns. officials are searching the building. they don't if the number of casualties will rise. >> we managed to collect. we go to our local moritari. some bodies are still in the streets. we are unable to identify the number of the casualties. >> let's go to nairobi and speak to dennis. pictures are dreadful coming out of the area aren't they? >> the graphic pictures that we can't show viewers. military trucks are c

if he turns out to be a todd aiken, richard murdock, christine o'donnell, if he says really inflammatory things that capture the attention of the national public, well that begins to shift the ground. but as of now, i wouldn't say that this one election result is really a ground shifter for 2014. >> right. i think part of what some democrats are hoping for is the names you mentioned, the extreme people they may take cantor's place in leadership, separate from house races. david, walk us through. and walk us through how tonight's results compare to the political support that eric cantor previously had in the district? >> look, eric cantor previously won without much competition against token candidates. tonight what i think we saw was a complete paradigm shift. took place outside of the sphere, media pay attention to the most primary voters in the district were tuned into brat on a grassroots. word of mouth basis. whether they were going to conservative media outlets. getting e-mails from friend in the last week of the campaign. it is clear the race closed rapidly in the final week. a tel

and just like claire mccaskill did in 2012, when alongside the tom aiken true conservative ad she also ran another ad against the more viable republican candidate questioning whether he was conservative at all, so too in colorado right now is this liberal group now running other ads against the more viable candidates. questioning their conservative credentials as they trumpet tom tancredo as the true conservative in the race. trumpeting him that way to a republican primary electorate to pick the true conservative in the race. is to be able to pick the candidate whom you run against. you almost never get lucky enough to do it but it worked for clair mccaskill in missouri in 2012, and heading into colorado's primary tomorrow, it looks like it might work for democrats in colorado as well. there's no great polling in this primary tomorrow. but some colorado analysts say that tom tancredo looks like he is the front-runner in this republican primary for governor, which of course has democrats very, very excited. polls close in colorado tomorrow. right when we go on the air live tomorrow nigh

. >> o'donnell, aiken, murdoch, it's a long list of individuals that potentially mcdaniel's name couldat list. i agree with your assessment. in all likelihood the gop would have held the seat, but now it's a virtual certainty they will hold the seat unless interestingly, these tea party folks should decide they are so fed up with the gop they are going to sit out the general election. that's the calculous that a party needs to go through, which is different from the calculous of the radio hosts. >> i think the democrats have to make a decision now. will they go ahead and actually get involved and help that democratic senatorial candidate in mississippi? and put some money in there, really get involved in that campaign. i'm sure they would have done it if mcdaniel would have been the nominee. with thad cochran, i'm not sure they are going to get much help from national democrats. they are going to put their money elsewhere. >> i think that childress is probably the person who was most displeased apart from mcdaniel on tuesday night. he probably perceived his opportunity to win as facing

. >> i think the todd aiken things were one time. >> reporter: for republicans, though, it guaranteesore weeks of not so friendly fire. for "this week," rick kline, abc news, washington. >> we're now back with the roundtable. let me bring in congressman cole, you spear headed republican campaigns in the past. mcdaniel the only real tea party star who's looking to have a chance to win one of these primaries, making a lot of your colleagues excited about the prospects of taking back the senate. >> i think we'll take back the senate. you look at seven deep red states, we're probably going to win six, or all seven. iowa, i think we'll win. colorado, long shots in virginia. maybe not quite so long in michigan and new hampshire. so, you know, the board looks pretty good. the fights we have had have been spirited. >> predicting a kind of wave of the incumbent wave of the white house? >> it becomes what the current administration is doing and what the president's job approval. the president's job approval is in the low 40s. which means republicans will pick up seats in the course of this. i t

song remained the same during his federal career as we mentioned along with the aiken bill he co-sponsoredill that would have made you ask your boss if you could take birth control. he also supported a national personhood bill which would have made criminal all abortions in all circumstances and also outlawed the birth control bill. gardner was a co-sponsor on that in 2012 and recently as 2013. when he was running for congress he said he would personally sponsor legislation to put an end to abortion. >> my question is do you believe that abortion is killing an unborn child and if you are willing to carry legislation to end the practice? >> yes, i have a legislative background to back that up. >> a hat tip to the newspaper for holding on to that audio. that's inconvenient for mr. gardner seen with super radical antiabortion voting records in public statements can do to u.s. senate candidates in hotly contested races in purple states. so, after all this sponsoring personhood amendments on the state and federal level, corey gardner now says, hey, it was all a big mistake. he didn't really und

is what he campaigned on but he couldn't just simply say we're leaving which is what senator george aiken suggested yes we're going to place yeah good just declare victory on it which is what obama did in iraq ok. go ahead but why for more money into a dispute that has nothing to do with us i want the government to come clean with the real agenda not the p.r. story the real political story is that we're there because we must be getting some return on investment be it or oil or natural gas or whatever but the real reason we're there is not for peace and harmony and love and and unicorns and rainbows the reason we're there has to be some sort of economic reason and i want the government's come clean with that well dick dick cheney was pretty clear about that in two thousand and one you know when he was having his energy task force meetings in march of two thousand and one and larry klayman from judicial watch the conservative group sued and got the got the documents that showed the oil fields of iraq that cheney was with and it was carving up and decided which companies were going to get th
