bill, michelle? >> martin, very briefly, if you could, give us a sense of the, on the ground, the level of tension for the average citizen there in israel. you're in tel aviv. i mean, is everybody just taking this in stride or has the tension level gone up appreciably since the incursion began yesterday? >> reporter: i've got to say, they're continuing to take it in stride. you know, israelis are defended by this iron dome antirocket system, which has been phenomenally successful. so, there's a siren, people wander off looking for the nearest shelter, and then when the all clear sounds, they resume their lives, they go back to their coffee. i was at a restaurant, actually, this evening, having my chicken soup, when the alarm went off and everybody just sort of got up slowly from their tables, walked over to the safety room, waited for the explosions that you hear, which would be the iron dome rockets being fired. that's the first explosion. and that's followed by another explosion as the rocket explodes in the

it occurs to me that the last person to talk about a bill of rights was martin luther king jr. they shot him in the head when he did that. when king talked about the triple threat that this country faced, racism, poverty and mill tarrism, where poverty is called, he called being almost 50 years ago as you were calling for now an economic bill of rights. he couldn't get liftoff on that issue. this is his effort to organize poor people's campaign. if he had succeeded, he would have been the original occupier. he was going to the national mall in washington. set up a sent at this tim a ten. i wonder how we ever get again traction on a real conversation about an economic bill of rights. ceo pay through the roof. we can't get a real conversation about the right that people have in this country to have meaningful employment, not minimum wage but a living wage. if king couldn't get that conversation off the ground, this is a know legal laureate and has a holiday and postage stamp and a monument in washington. we demonize him when he talked about that very issue. >> right. >> he's been

. >> first of all there was a big difference between martin luther king breaking the law and bill ayresartin luther king broke the law nonviolently. he said if i break the law, i should accept the penalty. i shouldn't go into hiding. i should go to prison. so i'm going to call the law into question morally and i'm going to sway the american people because i believe in the goodness of the american people. bill ayres group, it was the spirit of 1968. this was the radical spirit that saw themselves as a force for evil and how bad america was and went right back into american history and reinterpreted american history as a series of crimes visited upon different -- the native americans, african-americans, the mexicans. so this became a kind of anti-americanism that was fostered in america. it became a part of the schools. >> do you admit that? >> no. >> you don't admit that. >> first of all, both of you saying the ends justifies the means is from mars but when you question it, you're all in. that's a violent end. but on this question of the spirit of '68, went back and re reinterpreted hist

bills but that's just my pain. what's up folks i'm having martin and this is breaking the set so last week the supreme court ruled but hobby lobby is exempt from writing four types of contraceptives guaranteed by obamacare the ruling claimed the mandate violated the corporation's religious beliefs since the court sided with the false assumption that birth control equals abortion considering how i would be morning after pills are lumped into the exemption but despite the ridiculousness of the granting corporations religious rights supporters of the decision never spun a bit it's only a narrow ruling which only applies to those or types of birth control called into question right well it only took one day for that argument to fall apart to see just one day after the ruling the high court ordered that appeal courts really hear cases where companies have previously fought to deny coverage for any type of birth control still sound like a constricted ruling to you that's not all because as many people have pointed out granting corporations religious freedom is an extremely dangerous precedent so it carpenter of the nation

lyndon johnson signed a bill into law surrounded by a bipartisan group of legislators and leaders of the civil rights movement, including a still controversial figure named martinng jr. that constitution right, the right to vote had itself been guaranteed a century before, the bill's passage would be only the beginning of a very, very long struggle to enforce it. >> tonight i urge every public official, every religious leader, every business and professional man, every working man, every housewife. i urge every american, to join in this effort to bring justice and hope to all our people and to bring piece to our land. >> the by him's political repercussions were nearly incal cuable at the time, it's effect on education was merely clear, demying blacks the ability to eat at a restaurant and not only the south in places like new york now city that was outlawed. school is he agree gas station was put into practice nationwide after the passage of the act and ban on employment description because of race, color or national origin not only protected minorities but allowed more women to enter the workforce. over the past three decades, those historic achievements are

houses all in a bid to save on their electricity bills and all would have been good if only the proper setup instruction hadn't been missing artie's martin andrews explains. the great solar power blunder according to the university they've announced that the panels which routes the built in the southerly direction are facing the wrong way now there are around half a million homes in the u.k. which have these panels on the roofs it comes at a price too it costs around five thousand to ten thousand pounds to have them erected onto your roof but it does come with money saving of course you can actually get back around eight hundred pounds a year why are they saying that it's facing the wrong direction well that's because of the sun's movement it means that it peaks during mid day this isn't about actually the pros and cons of electricity but the valuable stance that it has of the sun's rays during the day and they're saying that if they're actually following germany's new policy which they had of having them east and west it means that you have less shadow it means that you are be able to you can actually have more panels on your west specc

martin luther king was a great political strategist and understood each time he put together one of these protests that it made it harder for the southern democrats to block progress on the bill. the damn between the white house and the movement and members of congress all for civil rights revolved around these protests. >> in putting together your book have you been able to talk to those that still remember the johnson years? >> some. i tend to be a historian that uses the carr kifes and i have written a lot on it. sometimes i use interviews and i have spoken with people that are around them. but the heart of my research really comes out of the johnson library, the presidential memos and all kinds of communication within the white house comes from congressional speeches and hearings and it comes from the white house tapes. just personally i find that much more valuable. oral history is done right after a lot of people left the white house. >> what do you think is behind the johnson family trying to use the voting rights act and this anniversary as a way to revisit their father's presidency? >> well, lyndon johnson has a terrible legacy, although now many are looking back at

bills but that's just my pain. right now seeing. first rate. and i think you're. partly. that's out in focus i'm having martin and this is breaking up the set so between speaker of the house john boehner so you know obama over obamacare and the gazelle impairing on the i.r.s. scandal to say that congress is getting nothing done would be a severe understatement but yesterday the senate actually managed to take a big step forward on one of the most important reasons why our current representative system is so toxic and corrupt campaign finance seen a ten to eight vote the senate does.

martin fletcher, ayman mohyeldin, thank you both so much. >>> i'm joined by bill cohen, former secretaryf defense for the clinton administration. bill, we both have seen this for so many decades. but this seems to have reached critical mass. the horror of the pictures, the children involved, and john kerry right now, they were supposed to have a briefing, an outcome, 8:00 this morning, 10:00 this morning. now we're told not before 2:30. clearly waiting on the israeli cabinet who in turn they're waiting on the palestinians. >> i think the fighting is unlikely to stop as long as rockets are being fired by hamas into israel. i don't thing israelis are going to agree to a cease-fire. unfortunately there's going to be more killing involved. it's also interesting to note that there are a number of arab countries in the region who have not been supporting hamas in this particular matter. uae, saudi arabia, egypt, because i think they see hamas as an extension of the brotherhood. as a result of that, public opinion in the region is pretty much dispersed. for the palestinians, because they are lo

today martin luther king, a great american, lyndon johnson get a lot of credit for passing that bill. it is true johnson almost screwed it up by pressuring the out theip to bring cots. it is taking too long. huber refused to do it. he said we are going to let it play out. >> this is the 12th time. 11 times the filibuster had succeeded. the filibuster was never the same after that vote in gene. forsenate began to use it anything and everything. it is really a term care there is a diminutive texan. he was holding before. of vermonte miniature was presiding. no one was in the gallery. presiding in tower had the floor. towers said in we have orders? it was a very funny line. the other memory i have was in new jersey. it is if he got too close to the issue and got hung up. he was called to the floor by a group of his constituents. butwilliams constituents they wanted to parade him. he came out and went back to the floor. they asked him to come again this time. he slipped out of one of the doors of the chamber in literally ran down the hall and saw a asylum and mike mansfield's office. secr
