i want to thank richard and c-span for sponsoring this. hank you on you for coming and giving us a chance to speak today. [applause]. [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible conversation] >> you are watching the tv on c-span2. this weekend we are visiting las vegas, nevada to talk to local authors and tour the city's literary sites with the help of our local cable partner, cox commute occasions. next, we discuss son, sin and suburbia, and essential history of modern las vegas with author geoff schumacher. >> when people think about las vegas they typically think of the las vegas strip, right. they think about the big casinos, they think about the shows, they think about gambling, the restaurant. they think about downtown las vegas where they have the older casinos and we have fremont street with all of the spectacle of the promenade. so that's what i think people immediately think of. someone who lives here, someone who writes about las vegas come i don't necessarily think of that first. i think about the 2,000,000 people who live here, i think

and 202-748-8920 for democrats. lizzi ellis tweets. i never wanted to see the day where i wanted to watch c-span and unable but here we are. we're unable to watch the house because they turned off the cameras. the speaker of the house turned off the c-span cameras so the american people cannot see the house sit-in. stonewall said, this is not the way the founders planned this. wanted to show you, too, when the house came back into session noon eastern there were 40 or so members of the democratic party, the democratic side of the house in the well speaking. you're going to see james clyburn standing there. they tried to gavel into session. ere's what happened. [inaudible] mr. clyburn: the people of ill will in our society make a much better use of time than the people of goo will. the people of ill will in our ociety has [inaudible] time and time again. last night we commemorated one of the most dastardly acts ever committed in this country. a man walked into a bible study of the church emanuel a.m.e. church. sat there for one hour. listened as they read scriptures. listened as they prayed. nd then got up and systematically

is carrying and i want to thank c-span for carrying this, a lot of people are saying why didn't c-span turn the cameras on on the house floor. and i have to remind those who are asking me that question, well, it's not c-span that makes the decision whether the cameras in the chambers of the united states house of representatives is on. as "roll call" reported yesterday, the decision to turn the cameras on in the house made by s a decision the speaker of the house who is the highest ranking republican in the chamber. so when these mikes are turned off and that's why we are speaking up a little bit more so we can communicate with all of you, because the republicans in the house wanted to keep the people out of the people's house. ey wanted to shut you out so you would not see what was happening here. the reason that the house members came to the floor to reach out to the american people is because the house republicans refuse us to allow us to vote on a few pieces of legislation. pieces of legislation that are common sense. pieces of leg

i'm not sure, and republicans actually defined how this was done on c-span decades ago and newt gingrichsed to take to the floor of the house on c-span and stage all kinds of stunts. i'm not sure what he meant by that. obviously, what ryan was trying to do is to protect having to vote on this issue, to protect republicans ha s from having to on this issue. in the senate, a majority. because of super majority rules it wasn't able to get through there either n. the collins measure talking about the no-fly measure. if you're on the no-fly you shouldn't be able to obtain a gun but oh tonigpponents are th measure saying their concerns are, there are people who are wrongly placed on the no-fly list, and what's the counteraction to that? >> yes. it's not just conservatives but many liberals who are opposed to this strategy of the democrats for that reason. but what the compromise of this sort is, is simply an effort to get some gun control through a congress which has been adamant against passing any kind of gun control. so, you know, i think there are clearly problems and questions with it, bu

is thatets me the most if trump had made such a speech, the pundits all of the networks and on c-spang him apart. but instead, the peanut gallery for hillary is going to say, what a great speech. and not question any of the pathetic distortions that she tried to make. out one.k what really strikes you as, you use the term pathetic. the number one thing you don't agree with? when she described trump's remarks about north korea and japan and implied that he was encouraging war and that we didn't care about it or he didn't care about it and japan could go nuclear and on and on, all i could think of was, what a liar. what are you doing the night of the benghazi attack, hillary? we still don't know. and you won't talk to the state department. it is obviously a bad time to call you. welcome to the conversation. >> i would want the nuclear codes to the not displayed on twitter. then powell has given information that even in the theyadministration, deleted e-mails in that administration alone. they were silent. just because we have a woman running for president, they are on her day in and day

there are no cameras inside or microphones because the house is not officially in session and c-span can not be on. the only video we're getting are pirated videos members themselves are taking even though it is illegal, but they can get away with it. there is the #no break no bill. number one, it's gotten to this point the democrats have been able to get so much attention on this cause. they want to see two votes, no fly no buy and strengthening background checks and get rid of the loophole on private sellers and strengthen internet sales. republicans have said, look, we're prepared to wait this out. this is not how our body works. this is what the senate does. we're not necessarily going to cave into their demands now. they say they're prepared to stay here indefinitely. maxine waters from california says hell will freeze over before she leaves that floor. how this ends is really the million dollar question here. no one necessarily knows how to do it. i think we have tape i did with john lewis of georgia. if we have that, could we run that? is that possible, about this issue? >> i

on the floor of the house sitting in all night and breaking house rules against video coverage and c-span had to turn off their camera led by the majority. so they use modern technology and pa. you had nancy pelosi and other members coming outside at one or two or three in the morning singing we shall over come and pass a bill using the anthem of the civil rights movement and adapting it to we need to pass a bill because of gun right demands to force the republicans to give them a vote and paul ryan ended up adjournny and forcing the house into recess. the democrats are still camping out more than 24 hours. the gridlock that in part fuels the anger on the left and on the right it has given ammunition to donald trump and to brace sanders frankly and forcing hillary clinton to adapt her basic message. this could not be broken and that's why the president cannot say the vote that's deciding this, this is a political case and it will be decided boo i the election, brian. >> yes, i keep on hearing that the people get to determine it. andrea mitchell, you have no shortage of topics to cover on
