his name is the reverend william barber, he's the president of naacp in north carolina. man who is instrumental in the moral mondays protest in that state and he's now leading this multistate protest effort against the most influential republican in north carolina politics. joining us now for the interview tonight is the reverend william barber, north carolina's naacp president. reverend barber, thank you very much for being here. it's real nice to have you here, sir. >> rachel, thank you so much and for all that you do. >> why are you picketing art pope's businesses? what's the goal? >> well, what we see with art pope is the most lewd and cynical and sinister form of wealth and power manipulation. to put your stores deliberately and publicly in communities of low wealth and 25% african-american, make your wealth off of people, pay them low wages, and then, in turn, use that power to push and promote policies that are adverse to their lives and diametrically opposed to their future is just untenable. what we have seen with art pope, you listed all those numbers -- $50 mi

texas, mississippi, alabama, florida, south carolina, north carolina, virginia have all gone there. ho, talk about the patterns like they jumped like the cherokee strip. here's votes we can steal. they just moved on a dime with the supreme court rule. >> the thing is, chris, it's not just those states you highlighted. i like to say that voter suppression in the south -- the south is not like las vegas when it comes to voter suppression. what happens there doesn't stay there. so when you see proof of citizenship laws that force people to show a copy of their birth certificate when they register to vote in georgia and alabama, those laws spread to kansas and other states outside of the south. i don't carry a birth certificate around with me walking down the street. these laws are aimed at preventing voter registration drives. i think there's a segment of our elected officials who have decided as the electorate gets more diverse and younger instead of trying to compete for those votes which is what you're supposed to do, they're trying to squash those voices. and we don't think that's

the gentlelady from north carolina. ms. foxx: i object to the vote on the grounds that a quorum is not present and i make a point of order that a quorum is not present. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on the question are postponed. the pledge of allegiance will be offered by the gentleman from texas, mr. poe. mr. poe: i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the speaker pro tempore: the claire will entertain requests -- the chair will entertain requests for one-minute speeches. for what purpose does the gentlelady from north carolina seek recognition? ms. foxx: i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlelady from north carolina is recognized for one minute. ms. foxx: thank you, mr. speaker. discussions about health care often turn into discussions about jobs an

north carolina is a donor state. we are paying the taxes and not getting the benefit of it. >> and now 62 percent of the american public, bill. and by the way, thank you for that. 62 percent of the americans are eligible for a pen fit and welfare and entitlement payment as a result. we moved medicaid to 138 percent of the poverty level under the affordable care act that is making all of the entitlements, social security and medicare and medicaid unaffordable. >> thank you for being a good marine there. i got your back. appreciate it, bill. >> i have been there. >> thank you. and could one unintended consequence of obama carry felt in communities in the country. and why there are concerns that volunteer fire departments could be affected. >> there is a mass approximative lottery out. there hundreds of millions are on line for you and our question is do you have a ticket and what would you do with all of that money if you want? what is the one thing you would buy? merry christmas? >> drinking it all day long. >>> megam

richard richard burr of north carolina, and ron johnson of wisconsin. now, those are all senators who say, you see them up there, all senators on the republican side who say that they at least want to give this measure, this deal a chance to get to a final vote. and why does this matter? this matters because once it gets to a final vote, you just need a simple majority, 51. democrats are expected to have that. so that's why this key 60-vote threshold tomorrow is the one to batch for. going back to the democrats really fast, there very well could be a few democrats, maybe some of thome up for re-election in tough races, red states like mark pryor of arkansas, or kay hagan of north carolina. we haven't heard from her yet. but it looks as though democrats and republicans frankly behind the scenes are pretty confidence that this is going to go through. >> this is a compromise that sailed through the house of representatives. but with every compromise, you're going to end foo people on both sides unhappy with

talk about south carolina for a second.h facility if i'm not mistaken in south carolina. what is it about that state that keeps you coming back? >> hi, david. good to be with you. 40 years ago we started producing michelin tires in the state of south carolina. over that time we've been growing and groping and growing. we've had a lot of success. we just opened today our new plant that makes these large earth movers tires. tires behind me. that is the first tire. it was just produced. this is actually the second plant that makes earth mover tires that we've got up now in south carolina. what is really interesting about this, is that 80% of these earth mover tires made in south carolina, are exporters of the rest of the world. david: right. >> 30% go to canada and 50% go to container ships in the rest of the world. not only manufacturing in the united states but we're producing products and sending them to the rest of the world. so that is very interesting story. david: by the way, i don't know if you get a sense of perspecti

we're not just talking about north carolina. like north carolina is a test case of a lot of different things. just this week, look at ohio. right? there's a lot that'll be heading to governor kasich's desk. vote purges. this is ohio where we know there have been problems. >> that's right. and so, you know, these purges have excluded a number of legitimate voters. that's one big problem. also in ohio, there are issues where they're trying to eliminate the number of voting machines in ohio in terms of the new law. and we know about the long lines in ohio. in 2004, some voters waited for up to ten hours in line. a lot of people didn't vote in ohio as a result of long lines. we really do have reason to be concerned. >> you know, penda, last question to you. it feels like when you look at what's going on across the country, i mean, again, 2013 was a really tough year for voting rights, it feels like conservatives who are backing these laws are essentially getting started early, quite frankly, when they look to 2014 and 2016 in terms

the south carolina and north carolina created a two slave trades. it's a trait that enslaved africans being brought into the carolinas in a. in enslaved native people being sold out of the carolinas. into the caribbean and also to canada. new france from the 17th century on in eastern canada have been a healthy and receptive market for native people enslaved in wars throughout the americas. native people are actually enslaved and sold into the caribbean. these are largely, we have a lot of mythmaking about slavery but when it comes to the thing that surprised me the most. >> host: i was going to say that's a surprise me in the book and i'm so glad we had a chance to discuss that because it is the common thought often expressed in casual historical conversation and the reason blacks and africans were brought here is because native americans simply didn't make good slaves. they ran away and disappeared in to the western wilderness. >> guest: the other part of it is the enormous death rates the extraordinary mortality rates among native people due to t

he is talking about trey gowdy from north carolina. on was talking about the president's job and how he might rank historically. the real clear politics average of different polls out there on job approval currently has obama as a 40.1% approval rate, a disapproval rate of 55.6%. that is an average of several different polls out there whether it is gallup or rasmussen or reuters. you can see a chart below that showing president obama's job approval. the black line, those who approve of the job that the president is doing and the red line being those who disapprove. again, job approval being at historic lows for the president right now. will go to stacy know from arlington, virginia for independents. stacy, you are on "washington journal." i think washington should focus on the basics. it has been for now since we have seen a budget. i will take a lot of the turbulence out of everything. it doesn't matter which party you are from. you need to be working for america. you need to be doing what is best for america. it doesn't seem like som

that's what's going on down in south carolina right now.republican that said they were going to vote for her, nor were they going to vote for vince, the popular state senator, a democrat, who almost beat her the last time. so listen, she has managed somehow to make everybody in the state pretty upset, except for a lot of the tea party. and then she kind of skrud that up by going out and endorsing lindsey graham. here we are. what we are finding is that nicki hailey is remarkably popular in 49 states, none of which is south carolina. >> where it matters. >> you point out in this article people forget that she only won election as governor by four points, but going back to that lindsey graham piece, senator in south carolina a long time, facing a serious, i would say, challenge from the right, from the tea party flank. if hailey's so unpopular there, i mean, does it actually help lindsey graham that she's saying nice things about him? >> well, what she's doing is she's now trying to go to the middle. again, remember, the problem with mitt rom

carolina and michigan state. brice johnson scores.your day is going well, it's going to be spectacular. johnson, 14 points off the bench. j.p. tokoto had 12 points. carolina up six. they're going to finish the job against the number one team in the country. tom izzo called the michigan state team soft. you don't want to be at their practice on thursday. north carolina goes on to upset michigan state, 79-65. >>> let's go to the great northwest. emphasis on great. trail blazers hosting the thunder. this used to be a rivalry when the thunder was the sonics. i'm supposed to let that go. lamarcus aldridge, late. he has 38 and 13. he played like a man. speaking of, russell westbrook, one-point game. with about 30 seconds left, nicolas batum channels his inner billy ray bates. that's going back in the wayback machine. trail blazers, 111-104. >> we saw that blazers/warriors game the other night. the western conference playoffs are going to be crazy. >> yeah, man. >> i can't wait. >>> back to you. >> yeah. >> guys, thanks. >>> up next, "the pu

and north carolina created it is that since late 80th people being sold out of the carolinas into the caribbean and up to canada. so from the 17th century on eastern canada was a healthy and receptive market for native people. there often sold into the caribbean so when it comes to the things that surprised me the most. >> that is what surprised me in the book i am glad we had a chance to discuss that because it is a common thought of casual historical conversation that the reason they were brought here is because mid-american said did not make good slaves or they ran away or disappeared >> guest: of the other part is the extraordinary lee mortality rate in the first 100 years of contact but none of that stops us that is a lesson we should take away not a single factor stops us from capturing, is leaving, is selling native people into bondage in other parts of the americas. there are native american slaves on college campuses here in america by faculty and offices and i list some. that is common. >> host: i want to emphasize that because as people get into when do we get to the africa

hucks from greenville, south carolina sent me a letter. his premiums are going up 75 percent and his deductible from ten this happened to 25 this happened. and premiums from 450 to 800 a month. a co-pay plan 1500 a month for a family of four. prem yups are sky rocketing and the unfortunate part they are about price, deductibles and co-pay ands outof pocket expenses are the costs. they are exploding and we'll see more bad news once the sen million young people do not enroll, next year, and year two, premiums will be based on the actual information that is dismal and we'll have worse rates and not better rates. >> yay carne is a smart guy, why would he put his neck out on this. and maybe he would get lucky and the miracle would happen and the price will come down and make everybody flush with cash. why is he sticking his neck out and saying those things with great savings? >> i have no idea. if they can control the price on the front end it means the cost the rise on the back end. you can find a way for a insurance company to provide a insur

folks in south carolina -- i'll tell you that in south carolina, we have about 4.7 million people. 600,000 or 700,000 folks do not have health insurance coverage. 4.6 million, 4.7 million south carolinians of which about 700,000 today do not have health insurance. but under obamacare, we would hope, we would hope that the number would go down, not up up. go from 7 hoopt down to 600,000 or 500,000, 400,000. it is over 430,000 of the 700,000 people are eligible for obamacare. but the number is not going down. the number is going up. because 150,000 south carolinians have received cancellation notices. let's frame that a little bit. we have 700,000 uninsured of which 430,000 are eligible for obamacare. and yet instead of seeing the number of uninsured go from 700,000 down to 600,000 or 500,000 or 400,000, we've seen the number go up because 150,000 people have received cancellation notices. 150,000 south carolinians have received cancellation notices. so -- someone would obviously ask the question how many folks have signed up for obamacare in south carolina? if 430,000 south carolinians are

we were in a rock bellsouth carolina and came to freedom ride and one thing led to the next. >> where are you from an originally? >> i was born in washington, d.c.. i am home. but after above rights -- my family is from georgia in a really touched me, the pictures and i felt the integration of the college's couldn't be undergoing this tremendous thing, that integration is real and had to be a two-way street. the college accepted me. so the ticket to mississippi and there i was. >> did you incorporate the story of other freedom riders in the book? >> absolutely. there were nine demonstrators in jacksonville that the and i was able to interview all of them. there was one additional freedom rider but unfortunately he died before i got involved. i talked to his family and he was part of a group in new orleans so i talked to them and this incorporates a lot of stories. the demonstrators, the media covering the sit-in's, i was able to get the fbi records and i talked to some of the people who were pictured in the crowd. i was able to identify them and talk to them as well so it was a compre

for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina eek recognition? does the gentleman have a motion to adjourn. >> yes, mr. speaker, i do move that the house adjourn. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on the motion to adjourn. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the motion is adopted. accordingly the house stands centralis really the circulatory system of the economy. arteries veins and that really connect what is now the information economy in the united states. we are seeing the networks increase at a rate of 40% per year. they connect all the communication whether they originate any wireless or wired lined environment. the future of the communications industry tonight on c-span 2. >> i got upset with the press the mentaly covered health word in the first few meetings i had. that never showed up in a more. this woman who was one of the press people. but we toured the country and found out what was needed. the mental systems act of 1980. it was passed before the incoming president determined. that is tonight on c-span

we can see north carolina the least states. what states are the most generous i guess is an awful question to ask. what is the best state to be unemployed now with federal aid expireing? >> most of the states will reverse down to 26 n. some states, it's as much as they're losing as much as 11 months of benefits in no state in about three months work. so pretty much all it's going to be a hard gut. >> i want to thank the washington post for joining the discussion. we will pick it right back up right after this. you may be mug through allergies. try zyrtec-d®. . >> for decades congress has voted to offer relief no job seekers. including when the unemployment rate was lower than it is today. now that economic lifeline is in jeopardy. all because republicans in this congress, which is on track to be the most unproductive in history and so far refused to extend it. so this holiday season, let's give our fellow americans who are desperately looking for work the help they need to keep on looking. >> president obama earlier this month,

the project took me from quebec city in canada to the carolinas along the east coast to scotland and england, holland. >> host: why scotland? i could understand england but why scotland? bring people up in to understanding why a book on race, slavery and the troubled history of american university, why scotland? >> scotland is a tremendous influence on the lives of colonial north america and ultimately on the rise of the united states as an independent nation. scottish immigrants are the largest group of free people. >> host: where the term redneck came from. >> guest: the largest group of free people to cross the atlantic in the eighteenth century in the decades before the american revolution. in places like pennsylvania back country, the carolinas, westwood kentucky, georgia, and with this enormous migration also comes a migration of ideas. scottish universities helping to modernize american colleges. scottish ministers who govern overseas schools and loads of american students, colonial students head to scotland to study medicine. and establish the very first schools in the north

but just in north carolina, there were thousands, maybe 4,000 killed. he finds no problem in completing dishonoring that sacrifice and saying what's happening in north carolina now is worse thanks to a republican supreme court chief justice and president obama. >> you know, it's sort of amazing. we throw around the phrase a lot in politics. this party has gone insane, these people have gone insane. i think usually what we mean is they want absurd things. they're asking too much. they don't have a sense of political reality. we have a party that is actually losing its grip on reality. these claims are just fan tast call and absurd. and the thing is look, you can always find somebody saying something crazy in politics if you go to the extreme wing but what's amazing about this is it's really not that far removed from what we hear from all over the republican party. we are seeing in georgia, in michigan, some candidate can say i don't like obama care but since it's the law of the land, maybe we should try to fix some parts of it. if you just say that you g

i assume the people in south carolina want people to have health care what do you do? >> one of the things to lower the cost of health insurance we could allow for competition across state lines and allow for small business owners to group their funds together. >> why didn't we do that? >> that is one of the failures of the preobamacare world is we could have addressed medical tort reform and we didn't do it. we have to reintroduce common sense into the marketplace. and we could fund insurance pools to give those with preexisting conditions more opportunities. if you are in a group plan, preexisting conditions are absorbed. when you are in an individual market there is no group. you have to pay higher rates to find your insurance. that is going to be the challenge. that coupled with out of pocket expenses going from 6,000 to as high as 12,000 means those who cannot afford insurance they get the free health care checkup but they can't take care of the challenges in that checkup what do they do next? >> there is a heart breaker. i want to talk about the bipartisan budget

north carolina is a very female candidate friendly place to be. 40 races since the year 2000 that came down to a candidate between -- a male candidate versus a female candidate. the female candidate won 31 of 40 times. that's 77.5%. so this is a very female friendly place to run. there are looking at registrations, there are 55% women, 45% men. there were 490,000 more women that voted last fall than men. our supreme court is 4-3 female. our chief justice is sara parker. this is a good place. >> so, john, specifically, though, when it comes to some of the stances or progressive stance for senator hagan is the fact that she came out for marriage equality. however, the state of north carolina voted into the constitution a pan ban on marri equality. how do you think that averages into her chances for re-election? >> well, we've gone from 3.5 to 6.5 million voters in 20 years. two-thirds of those newcomers did not come from southern states. so we're becoming a very urban dominant swing state. so the demographics actually favor hagan, the demographic tr

for north carolina. our citizens are paying their federal taxpayer dollars for federal unemployment benefits to 49 other states, even though our citizens cannot rely on the same safety net. this is not only unfair, it is hurting my state, which continues to have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country at 8%. some of the rural counties in north carolina are up to 14.5%. as the senate considers an extension of the emergency unemployment insurance program, i believe it is crucial that we right the wrong that has been done to north carolinians through no fault of their own. for this reason, mr. president, i come to the floor today to express my thanks to my colleagues, especially majority leader reid, senator max baucus, and senator jack reed, for working with me to ensure that north carolina's needs will be addressed as we work to extend unemployment insurance benefits into 2014. i would also urge my colleagues not to leave their constituents to the same fate as the citizens of my state and to
