john connolly himself is very helpful to me. he had this great ranch in south texas with a stable reporter horses. used to come to the guest house where i would say very early in the morning, 5:30 or 6:00 and sit on the top railing of the fence watching them exercise and he would tell me -- he answered almost every question i asked about johnson's career, took me through the assassination in great detail. one of the things he said was everybody thought when they heard the shot that was a motorcycle backfire or it was a balloon going off for a firecracker. but he said i was a hunter. i knew the instant i heard it that it was the crack of a hunting rifle. i talked to everyone who was with lyndon johnson in the hospital still alive, in boston with lyndon johnson. congressman jack brooks. lyndon johnson's devoted secretary, kennedy's secretary, they're always seemed to be other sources that have been overlooked. when i was doing this suddenly i came across a fact. a secret service regulations that if you were a member of the preside

they are using tax dollars to pay for the $573 bill at connolly's irish pub, 2007 hundred $34 at mi casa, and even $3,000 spent at the speedway club. we have live reports on abc 7 news at 5:00, 6:00, and 11:00. leon? >> and high school sophomore has been indicted on 29 counts involved in a shooting. the charges against robert gladden. there was an antique shotgun he brought on the first day of school. students critically wounded. >> the first day of school is not always easy. and there is an ongoing battle that means it is not any better. this is underway and now, some students are forced to walk. we are live in arlington with more. jummy? >> there are those that used to take the bus last year but those stocks have been eliminated, and that means they did not get a voucher. they will be walking to school on rocks like the one we are on right now. this school is across a very busy multipane intersection, and some parents we have talked to say absolutely not no way, for their students. >> in the dark. >> she refused to let her son walk to school this morning. instead, her husband drove. on

. >> reporter: northern virginia congressman jerry connolly agrees. >> democrats and republicans are almost evenly divided in virginia. we're fighting over a very small slice of the undecided as governor kaine indicated. >> reporter: those allen/kaine debates this fall ought to be pretty good. tim kaine should be taking the podium here a short time later for his speech here. then back to virginia to keep campaigning. >> seems like the virginia delegation, the seats are quite full down there. earlier today they were singing and chanting and just having themselves a good time. like they're really happy to be here. >> when you get in here early, you've got to find something to do. >> they found it. they did it well. we're going to come back a little bit later in this broadcast. we'll have a report on some of the obstacles facing the efforts to get the black vote energized down here in this part of north carolina. back to you guys. >> sounds like they've got something to do now. it's noisy there. >> yeah. they're rolling. >> see you in a little bit. thank you, jim and tom. >>> they talk

but many drivers don't realize these snake-like curves near connolly springs, north carolina, can be difficult to navigate. even deadly. fire and rescue crews race to the scene of a tanker truck that has spun out of control and slammed into a bridge. as they get closer and closer, a thick billowing cloud of black smoke looms ominously on the horizon. >> we've had a lot of wrecks, single vehicle and multicar crashes including tractor-trailers and small passenger vehicles. this is one of the most dangerous areas of interstate 40 in north carolina. >> traffic comes to a standstill. some motorists even resort to driving the wrong way in the emergency lane in order to exit the freeway from an on ramp. when firefighters and first responders arrive, they're face-to-face with a 50-foot-high fireball that has engulfed the bridge. >> basically the whole underside of interstate 40, the bridge and things was covered up with flames. in my 30-year career i've had now, i've never seen anything of that magnitude of flames. >> large flames could be seen from miles away. probably initially flame lengt

there was a big battle, for example, republicans didn't want ward connolly's initiative on the ballot because that would bring out the left to attack it and so forth. so it is politics. and on the other side where representatives of the aclu, a 501(c)(3) and the naacp, a 501(c)(3), and it was then that i realized this whole shadow political universe carries on the political debate between elections. conservatives hate politics. i mean, that's your basic -- if you're a conservative, this is a very ugly, sleazy interference with, you know, creativity actually creating jobs as opposed to leeching off the job creators and lining the pocket pockets of your favorite causes. this is, but this is where politics, politics takes place. there are 553 -- i don't remember all these figures -- 553 anti-free market environmental organizations. these are organizations that blame corporations and capitalism, that's, they cause global warming. forget whether global warming is something that we need to be concerned about at the moment. there is also a huger controversy as to whether it's manmade. but, n

connolly, for five minutes. mr. connolly: madam speaker, republicans have pursued an obstructionist agenda since taking control of this body. seemingly to risking harm to our economy for political gain. the refusal of the house republicans to even consider compromise has resulted in the 112th congress becoming among the least productive congresses ever. the 112th congress is a congress when it comes to measured productivity. consider the most simple metric. the number of laws passed per congress. the legislative output of this congress a mere 173 public laws passed, is a pittance when compared to the 900 public laws passed by what was called the do-nothing congress of the truman era, or the 333 public laws passed in the era of divided government in the 104th congress. or consider one of the most fundamental constitutional responsibilities, funding the government, once again the 112th congress distinguishes itself of shear incompetence having managed to pass zero appropriations bills. the 112th congress looks even wo

for our turkish connolly, how much damage has the syrian issue done to turkey's ability to be any kind of mediator? if you could talk a little bit more about what you would like to see from the obama administration if reelected and how much damage would be done if it is romney? >> that is a leading question. >> thank you for that question. i was going to reply anyway. it is the potential to still have impact on negotiations between iran and the united states. iran has a lot of experience in terms of diplomacy. diplomacy comes from cows and goats -- obstacles. it is a bigger issue. i am an optimist by nature. in point is, if there is going to be communication anyway, turkey should be a part of them. turkey has the ability to deviate from the mainstream and go toward been little. -- the middle. if turkey does not play this role, who will? can you tell me of another country in this region? syria has done certain damage, but has not destroyed the potential. >> thank you. i think 2013 is going to become an extremely importing here. if obama is reelected, the first year of a president's seco

this dress is jude connolly which is at a store in del ray which has some fun stuff taking place thatl paired with buta bag very popular and again the theme with the gold cuffs and gold embellishments. >> that's our last model? >> >> reporter: we have one more. >> kristin is sporting a gorgeous two piece by the lucky knot store right down the street. this is elizabeth mckay navy wrap dress pairs with a blue and green jacket by skirting around. >> and everyone at home is going, finally a model with practical shoes. i could actually wear those. >> those are beautiful ballet flats again by bishop boutique here. the brand is london sole. very comfortable. >> how does it work on thursday night? >> thursday nice, we have this year over 80 stores participating for the inaugural year for night out which is tremendous. we have three public events, a fashion show here in torpedo factory doors open to the public at 8:00 and we'll show stores having looks for that evening. del ray is having a fashion block party which is part of the first thursday so they will have doggie fashion show mommies, ma

that the democrats have to do is convince voters that they are still the best stewards of the e connollyof the economy moving forward. people do not have confidence in this administration for fixing the economy and the economy is what is bothering people the most. he needs to say, "i can fix this," and he needs to convince people. he cannot just come up on stage on thursday and have his surrogates, up and blame president bush. that is not going to sell. people still blame bush. people want to note that this president can be the one going forward to fix the economy. that is his number one priority. host: mary from kentucky. you're on c-span with susan ferrechio. caller: good morning, peter and thank you for taking my call. i have learned more from this station then i have ever learned through schooling or history. this is a fantastic show. i wish it was an all-day call-in show. president obama will have to explain a lot and it knocked off the inheritance bit. he fought for it. he was out there doing his thing. i have nothing against the man. he is very charismatic and likable. i think he

privilege to have the chance to write the preview with my colleague, jamie mcdonald from williams and connolly who clerked for the chief justice of years ago, and i certainly commend that to you and to the extent you find it useful i can assure you that is because of jaime's could work and not because my own. in any event, ilya did ask me to talk about the criminal docket this year, and i will be relatively brief because at least as of now, the court's criminal dhaka it is relatively limited. let me just say a word since i in the first substantive speaker about the upcoming term. because i really do think it has a potential to be a very interesting term. i think the last term in many ways was a somewhat unusual term because perhaps never in the modern era has a single case so dominated the attention given to the court as it was true last term with the health care cases, and of course i know you've heard a little bit about that over the course of today, and i suspect you'll hear more in the lecture to follow. but really was kind of one of those remarkable episodes in the court's history. i was
