clyburn: we are going to come over here. mr. clyburn: everybody line up. ok. host: as we watch the assistant minority leader jim clyburn set up a picture outside the u.s. capitol, we'll go back to your phone calls for a few minutes following the wrapup of the house democrats' sit-in on the house floor, a couple of callers have been waiting patiently. let's go to matthew in louisville on the independents line. your thoughts about the sit-in and the issue itself, matthew. caller: yeah. i would like to begin addressing the matter of whether this is some sort of show, grandstanding. the senate decided the same sort of bills that weren't being discussed in the house of representatives were not going to pass. whatever was going to happen in the house of representatives was never going to become law. that's just a matter of fact. secondly, i guess it was yesterday you had the congressman from texas discussing the whole notion of the instruments that helped gain civil rights insofar as the sit-ins being deployed today, how the democrats were using the sit-ins to depri

paging congressman clyburn. come on.he were truly concerned about guns in america, he would have to say at least something about his fellow african-americans being shot down in chicago every sing get day and it's been going on for years. he would have to say something, would he not? >> now, the reason clyburn brought up guns in connection with orlando is because the left, in general, doesn't want the american penal to focus on the danger from isis overseas. that's a muslim hate group. they don't want to bring muslims in at all. it doesn't play in to the narrative of the far left who generally believe that america is a source of much of the trouble in the world. we're the problem. so they constantly push a point of view that demonizes the u.s.a. as a bad place, unfair place. forget about isis. it's all about america. allowing guns to kill people. refocusing the overseas terror problem, on the u.s.a., is a strategy by the far left. summing up. thousands of african-americans being gunned down by other african-americans in c

jim clyburn of south carolina. mr. clyburn: thank you. thank you very much, madam leader. thank you. last friday, all of us pawsed around the country -- pawsed around the country to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of nine of my constituents. ree people survived that night. two by playing dead and one because the killer walked up to her and said, i'm going to spare with you because i want you to carry the message. now, that young man made it very clear that he was not about any foreign issue or any kind of international terrorism. he said that he was doing what he was doing in order to start a race war. now, the interesting thing about this is that young man was not eligible to own a gun. in fact, the background check had been undertaken, but as the leader said, we want reasonable , effective background checks. we have a big loophole in this law that because of this incident is now called the charleston loophole. and that loophole is simply this -- if within the three-day period the background check is not completed, the gun sale can be consummated. well, bec

this is a five-minute vote. >> joining me now, congressman james clyburn.thank you so much for your time. >> well, thank you so much for having me. and thank you for making it clear, tamron, that the moment of silence had ended before i sought recognition. thank you very much for that. >> and i know you were making that point because paul ryan's spokeswoman, ashley strong, sent out a statement that it's shameful that anyone would try to use a moment of silence honoring victims of a brutal terrorist attack to advance their own political agenda. you just made the point you did not interrupt the moment of silence. this was following that. let's talk about where you are, where the democrats are, the level of frustration that boiled over in that moment. what was going through your mind? >> well, i was thinking about the 17th, which will be friday, when the house will not be in session so we won't be able to honor that event or in some way commemorate it on the actual date. and i think that a very good way of doing that would be for us to move to close the charle

clyburn, if you have further commentary. mr. clyburn: you have summarized this adequately and i think appropriately. and i will yield back. mr. green: i will continue. i'm so honored tonight to mention again that this is a resolution that we have on the floor h.res. 772. bt q legislation and i'm honored it is on this day because the flag refers to liberty and justice for all. not liberty and justice for some of a certain religion, but liberty and justice for all, regardless of your race, your creed, your color, your sexuality, liberty and justice for all, regardless of your religious affiliation, liberty and justice for all. i assure you that the american people expect no less than what we pledge allegiance to, the flag of the united states of america. i'm honored that we have this resolution and this resolution is one that speaks to the accomplishments and the lgbtque of the community and there are michiganments and circumstance that we are having to deal with at this time. there are these accomplishments and successes. let me

earlier today, you heard congressman clyburn -- he gave an outline of reconstruction. i think you made a said 1865 through 1877. one year ago, i shared with him that on this journey our timeline is 1861-1895. he grumbled a little bit when i said that to him. he and i have a good relationship and at the end the conversation he said all right. for our purposes of our work, we are looking at 1861, bringing in the port royal experience and hilton head all the way through plessy versus ferguson in 1898. trying tome folks pull us into the 20th century but we haven't got there yet. that is our working time. the next decision we made is that in addition to looking at sites and places and buildings across the landscape, we need to look internally. look at the existing park service sites in the southeast specifically that have connectivity to reconstruction but perhaps at the present time are not addressing it. and so we pulled together another team working out of our plan to office looking , specifically at park service sites across the south specifically and their connectivity

clyburn: thank you very much, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i often quote -- quote martin luther king jr.'s iconic letter from the birmingham city jail when he wrote, we are going to be made to repent not just for the hateful words and deeds of bad people, but for the appalling silence of good people. mr. speaker, some very dastardly acts have been committed, one of which we will be commemorating the first anniversary of on friday, june 17, when the people of charleston, south carolina, and many across the nation will pause to commemorate the lives of nine people who were survived, hree who because our gun laws allowed a young man whose background check showed he should not have purchased a gun, however because of loopholes says, if a background check is not completed in three days you can still purchase a gun. mr. speaker, it's time to close the charleston loophole. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from alabama seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous conse

jim clyburn who has been here for really long time, a highly respected person he said this was his proudest moment. that really means something and for some unlike john lewis to give his all to stay up all night with all of us words can't describe how significant a change this is and that makes me really happy that we are capable of doing this. >> do you see any legislative recognition from the republicans being cut out? >> no i am not an i may be overly optimistic and too buzzed about this but democrats and republicans in independents all of us have for the american people really loud and really clear. what happened last night in this morning and even now was and just democratic members of congress. was the whole country times country. there is no way we would have stayed that long and have been impacted people were not urging us to do it are commanding us to do it. you had better had better stay in that floor. i wanted to be there. do something for us so yeah this is something that i think, we are going to look like and remember that moment.

that congressman clyburn talked about his background as a teacher, i suspect at some point more than likely have to deal textbook, as many in the audience did as well. i wasn't sure exactly what i would find when ike -- when people came into the home. i was nervous. i was pleasantly surprised about what i found. i know you're thinking, first off, what is -- what does woodrow wilson have to do with reconstruction? test connection, i think the doctor mentioned this last night in the keynote, the birth of a nation. he screened the film in the wood -- white house. it is a tale about reconstruction in south carolina. one has to imagine whether he thought about the place where he once lived when he watched the film in the white house. beyond the extends screening of the film in 1915 while he was president. woodrow wilson as a teenager is living in this time and place in columbia. he makes this. remarkable transformation he has a black representative that is up the road at the statehouse. he is living in a largely presbyterian world as the black community begins to really build a strong bla

[end video clip] brian: is he right? betty: he is. he is making an interesting point. impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors have never been well-defined through the years. so with each new impeachment trial, the senate is faced with new impeachment hurdles to determine if that particular set of crimes committed by this individual reached the point of impeachment standard, and they somehow qualify as

clyburn, sought to get the speaker's attention to ask a question. basically the question was, is that it? what about legislation? what about action to prevent these types of tragedies from happening in the future? and he was gaveled down. and there was a lot of outrage here on the house floor. and i think justifiablely so. i mean, we have -- justifiably so. i mean, we have been here on this floor calling for moments of silence after terrible tragedies like the one in orlando again and again and again and again. it's not enough. i mean, surely this congress, democrats and republicans, can come together and do more than just have a moment of silence. mr. clyburn was asking about whether or not we could bring to the floor the bill that basically says if you're a suspected terrorist and you're on the f.b.i.'s no-fly list, then you ought not to be able to go into a gun store and buy a weapon of war. you know, could that come up for debate, and could we have a vote on that? he was also going to raise the issue about whether or not we could revisit legisla

clyburn: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, this morning as i watched the news reports of my good friend, chris murphy's, closing comments on the senate floor, i thought about another period of time in this country that focused some real troubling circumstances that exist, and a man named thomas payne sat down to write what he felt, and he said, these are times that try men's souls. some are soldiers and sunshine patriots willing the crisis, strengthen the service of their country, but he understands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. we're living in some trying times, mr. speaker. and this house for some reason is refusing to stand up and face the consequences of what we're about to live if we don't close these loopholes that exist in our gun laws. mr. speaker, in a few minutes we're going to be debating a piece of legislation that we have already voted on and it didn't stop orlando or charleston. tomorrow as we celebrate the first anniversary

in the last couple days, with south carolina's james clyburn going so ar as to say, it was not about terrorism. >> this is not about isis, it's not about any foreign terror. this is about guns in america and whether or not we're going to have some kind of moderation to this second amendment just as we have to the first amendment. >> it's not about isis. >> joining me now, katie and mark. of course it's about isis. >> it's about war, hatred and guns. since the year 2004, more than 2000 people who were on terror watch lists -- there's legislation, if it were passed may allow us to catch this guy. >> you know the gun defenders say people end up on the terror watch list all the time. he can't deprive them of their second amendment rights. >> if you learn you're inadvertently on that list, go to a judge and get off. in order to fly to new york to do this, very to take my clothes off and give my hand sanitizer away before i'm able to board a plane. we know the fbi had two investigations open into this guy, the government can't put a pause on the sale. i don't think americans want that. don

i want us to explore congressman jim clyburn's plan to direct more federal investment into underserved areas, those neighborhoods where we have generational poverty that need extra help to be able to get themselves up and going. and i want as to be measured by how much incomes rise for hard-working families, not how much higher ceo bonuses can go. we have been on that path, and now we need to move towards really investing on everybody. i want to see how many children climb out of poverty, how many communities can get their residence a better future. i think that's what it means to have an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. to make this happen, there's no question that we have to get washington to work better, and that includes getting money out of our politics. [applause] mrs. clinton: we have to take on citizens united and get rid of the secret money that is rigging the system. now i think it is fair to say that many of you in city and state elections run under tighter regulations or at least disclosures than we now do on the federal side. i say this, not as a

'll be in lakeland, florida, bethel a.m.e. church and we are going to be praying and singing and hoping. hoping at some point in the not-too-distant future this house, this congress will recognize that we've got a big, big problem that must be solved. . why is it that this young man is not eligible to purchase a firearm? why did he get one? he got one because there is a loophole in that law that says the three-day ackground check is not operative if you don't complete the background check in three days. so the reasons that exist for him not to have a firearm still existed on the fourth and fifth day. now, i have no idea why the information got keyed in wrong. it was columbia versus west columbia. and when they detected it, this gentleman had the firearm and was off to charleston, south carolina,

. >> a lot of those people come up with this gun registry predominantly on the left like jim clyburns who want to ban guns. >> i don't think they are going to confiscate guns. that's not going to happen in america. >> i call them big guns and gun nuts you don't know anything about guns, o'reilly. oh yeah? you want to draw? big guns because if you say assault rifles. it's not really an assault rifle and all that i don't want to get into that but guns that have big clips that carry lots of rounds, so you can go in and kill 50 people in 10 minutes most americans don't want those guns in the marketplace. what do you say? >> i say if you took that 9-millimeter and took those clips load at faster rate. >> you don't want to ban any big magazine. >> it's not assault rifle. that 9-millimeter has 15 rounds that it can fire. change the clip and do it again. >> america doesn't have the stomach for going down a list of the kinds of guns the government is going to ban. >> who decides? >> over and over again. >> that's a good point because in order to make this a fair debate. >> right. >> coming wo

with that i'm pleased to yield to distinguished assistant to the leader, many jim clyburn of south carolinadame leader. rast frida last friday, all of us paused around the country to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of nine of my constituents. three people survived that night. two by playing dead and one because the killer walked up to her and said i'm going to spare you because i want you to carry the message. that young man made it very clear that he was not about any foreign issue or any kind of international terrorism. he said that he was doing what he was doing in order to start a race war. now, the interesting thing about this, is that young man was not eligible to own a gun. the background check has been undertaken. the leader said, we want reasonable, effective background checks. we have a big loophole in this law that because of this incident is now called the charleston loophole. that loophole is simply this, if within the three-day period the background check is not completed, the gun sale can be consummated. because wrong information was keyed in, either purposeful

you're on the same page, are you, as congressman clyburn. you are here demanding with this sit-in, votes on three pieces of legislation on background check, on this so-called no fly, no buy and the charleston loophole. you want three votes? >> that's where all of us are. what those three things share is dramatic public support. what you're seeing happening here led by john lewis, icon of the civil rights movement, beaten almost to death on the edmond pettis bridge is being called a publicity stunt by the speaker. what you're seeing is us standing up and saying the house of representatives exist for one purpose and that is to work the will of the people. here you have a package of things that's supported by a majority of republicans and democrats and gun owners. what we're saying to the speaker is let the house do what it was designed by mr. madison and mr. jefferson and mr. adams to do, which is to reflect the will of the american people. he says no. >> is this the way, he mentioned this, we played paul ryan' reaction. he said this is no way

that's what jim clyburn was trying to do. like closing the charleston loophole, how could you be against that, not giving a person a gun after a background check? >> we have had even the family of the company that created the sig sauer, which is the weapon of choice for mass shooters, say this was created for special forces. it wasn't created for deer hunting. i just don't understand the argument as to why we would want weapons that could be used in launching war on our streets. >> i want to put you in a tree stand, go deer hunting with me for a second. you have a rifle and a shot. you have one shot to get that deer, because the deer's not -- deer are stupid but when they hear a shot they're gone. so do you really think, do you need that gun to shoot bambi as it scampers off into the woods? because you only get one shot. the answer is no, you don't. because you suck as a hunter. if you suck as a hunter, stick to fishing. it's really easy. put the pole in, drop the hook in with bait on it and you're going to get a fish. much e
