[applause] >> early on chad and john had a slight disagreement. i would just say that it think it relates to this question, they are both right. is why think they were both right. chad was talking about all politics are local, people make a decision because of how politics affects them personally. and so knowing that you're going to be empowered or that you are not being empowered under the current system has a big effect on how people vote. but make no mistake people getting money from the outside or being involved from the outside and have an effect as well. in our particular case in arizona, the koch brothers spent about $2 million at the end of our elect were up by about 70%, 60%. that money had attachable impact on our ability to be successful because they raised doubt. and that doubt was just enough. that's all you need in an initiative. in fact, afterwards we found that the public still supported the measure by and large but about cost them to vote against uzbek what john was talking about, the connection by the national parties or the nati

a quick question for chad. if i hear you, the top two one necessarily change but it will change because they will be accountable to all people. if you notice a significant change, or do they then go back and caucus? >> not only is it significant, it is beyond expectations. you can spend a day in the capital talk to any legislator of there. they actually go and have a drink together now. they are talking to each other. it has fundamentally changed. i met with several members and it's not a question in their minds. the whole atmosphere in the capital has changed. it has gone to a real government structure and the facts on the ground in california, it's evident. they are dealing with problems instead of focusing on division. [applause] >> this has been a great discussion. i admire you so much. i could talk about this all night because this is my passion. i've listened to so many great things being said and i'm listening to you and you are all saying the same thing and get you are trying to do something different.

chad got his start on the mississippi, and there's no river he won't tend to.the self-appointed custodian of america's waterways and i called him good naturedly a bloody do-gooder. exactly what he is. totally on a mission. has been for decades. loves the mississippi and hates people are pigs and dedicated his life to cleaning it up. tried to get him on tv the last ten years. a cool thing. our paths finally came together tonight. >> ten years? so where -- >> yeah. >> what do they do with all the stuff? >> well basically what chad did, aside from get really annoyed at the state of the planet was he procured a barge, a big, old barge. a garbage barge, and he got some of his friends on it and they just started going up and down the river with cranes and winches, hauling this stuff out. from there on another barge. that barge takes it to landfills all over the place, but it's a full-time, 24/7 never-ending job, and the crazy thing is too, like he's got all of these volunteers on the barge. i didn't know this but something like nine couples have actually hooked up an

live in southwest philadelphia, chad pradelli channel6 "action news." >> chad, thank for that update. >>> there is a manhunt under way in north carolina right now hours after a gunman shot and killed a man on the campus of the community college. police say kenneth stancil a former student at wayne community college shot ron lane this morning as the long time campus employee was at work in the library building. investigators locked the school down and canceled classes but later revealed the shooting was any other random and stancil and lane knew each other. she say the shooter did not need special access to that school. >> we are an open door campus. we do not have locked facilities. some of our classrooms you need a code but not into the actual buildings themselves. >> officials believe stancil has left the area but not the state of north carolina. so far the motive for that crime remains unclear. >> an electrician is in critical condition after getting shocked at the king of prussia mall today. police say two workers were on a scissor lift when they accidentally cut into an energized

i'm chad pradelli, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. the investigation continues into why a cargo ship ran aground on the banks of delaware river it's video you will only see on "action news," the ship slammed into the shore near the burlington bristol bridge new jersey correspondent, nora muchanic is live with more on where the ship came from, and perhaps why it lost control. >> hi there rick, talk about a wild scene it's a sunny day and a lot of people are along the waterfront and fishing and walking and what do they see? a ship the size of to football fields heading straight toward them. >> it looked like the titanic coming at me. >> this was the amazing video of the liberian freighter, out of control barrelling for the shore in burlington city north of burlington bristol bridge. >> i didn't think it would stop, it was coming towards me. >> you could tell it wasn't turning at all and it was not adjusting or making an attempt to turn. >> andy was fishing with his friends jeff when he shot the pictures when the steel freighter came to

chad niger, and cameron are leading the fight. >>> a pakistani man is free on bail.he prime minister has condemned the release today. the 2008 attacks on mu buy killed 166 people. >>> pakistan's parliament has voted against joining the saudi-lead coalition battling houthi rebels in yemen. kamala harris has more. >> reporter: pakistan has said all along that it would take parliament into confidence and that the people's representatives would then decide whether the saudi's request for help and what way to respond to that. so after a debate they came to a conclusion that while there was no compromise on the defense and security of saudi arabia in the eventuality that [ inaudible ] territorial integrity was violated that pakistan would go to any level. however, pakistan was against any military intervention in yemen, saying this was a tribal war, not a sectarian war, and what was needed was proactive measures to try to bring everybody to a negotiated settlement and arrange for a ceasefire. the pakistanis saying they will stand shoulder to shoulder with the saudis if the

for straight people it's anything goes, and for us it's the 19th century. >> chad, john roberts, whoing -- they are watching as always because kennedy is almost always a swing vote. but john roberts said something today that seemed to make a lot of sense. he said if sue loves joe and tom loves joe sue can marry him, and tom can't. why isn't that a straight forward question of sexual discrimination? do you take heart in the fact that those words are coming from john roberts' mouth as sort of maybe a bellwether of where the court's going to go? >> i think there's some real insight from all of the justices including chief. tough questions come from all of the justices that asked questions. they pose tough questions to all size. but the point that you were just making before alex the other question that our opposition must answer and they couldn't in court is what harm is done? what harm is done to that straight couple that's been married for ten or 20 years, when john and joe or jane and jill next door get married? is their marriage all of a sudden going to fall apart? of course not. bu
