[applause] >> that is a pretty good welcome. i keep hearing i'm going to call him glenn cunningham, the old quarterback. anyway, we were talking before __ this is a great story, and i want you to explain it. evidently, the number 13 and 14 had a lot to do with your career. talk about it. >> well, actually, like a lot of people, you learn th

today he spoke with randall cunningham. he shows us how to get your hands on some of cunningham's most prized possessions. >> reporter: harder to find in this stuff randall cunningham himself, but nbc10 was the only local station here to talk with him before the live auction tomorrow. the ultimate weapon rocking randall cunningham spent seven years with the team. now he's paying it forward. >> i was told when i was young, don't ever forget where he came from. >> reporter: he's giving up game-worn jerseys, for the christian fellowship in las vegas where he serves as pastor. >> a hand-painted game ball. those are, again, something sort of fun that aren't necessarily thousands of dollars. >> reporter: it's a philly tribute from david hunt's auction house, based in chester county. of the thousands of memorabilia, he says number 12's collection is king. randall told me his favorite piece required his son's consent. >> when i first made it to the nfl, i had a dream. i was going to buy a rolex watch and i was going to put randall

cunningham. >> mr. cunningham, a pleasure to meet you. you are selected as a pilot because of your ability to handle stress. i would assume most pilots have a natural ability to handle stress. can you remark on any training protocols that nasa, whether they be psychological, medical or nutritional, that would enhance your ability to deal with stress under difficult conditions? >> that is another thing that is a big difference today. maybe it is because of the attitudes of the guys at that time. we did not allow nasa to really turn you into a specimen often. i still get my annual physical at nasa every year. because they're keeping a history of people that have gone into space. and i like it because i get to do my physical. but today, astronauts are a whole lot more specimens in the scientific field. then they used to be. heart of that is the reaction to what happened in those days with us ancient astronauts. i was not as obnoxious and outspoken as some of them could be. but i do know this. after the pilot program was over , management beg

the discussions begin with walt cunningham. nasa's third civilian astronaut talked about the earliest apollo missions, the space race with the russians, and the future of nasa. here is a preview. >> apollo 7, to this day, was the longest, most ambitious, more successful engineering test flight of any new machine ever. and the reason it was so loaded __ planned 11 their first mission was because we had lost 21 months after the apollo fire a year and a half __ mmaybe a little less than that's because we had another fidonet __ to go to the moon __ flight in there __ to go to the moon. so when we went out for the 11 day mission, none of us thought we were going to go 11 days. you couldn't do that on the first mission. so we were actually surprised and a little bit irritated towards the end __ no food left, no nothing __ >> want to shower, get me back. >> so that was critical as to why it was so successful. >> you can see the entire conversation with walter cunningham tonight at 8:00 pm eastern. he is part of a series of conversatio

lets start down there with number 12 the cunningham jersey. the game. >> that is best part about these games coming right from randall a. these are pieces he wore. this is one of his jerseys,. >> signed and game used. he is an iconic player in eagles history. beside what he did as a teammate to his team but this is a legendary quarterback. >> how much is it worth. >> jersey like that will be in the the thousand, $2,000 range. they are not a little bit of monday bye not tens of thousands of dollars. there will be lots of things people can purchase. >> we have the burt bell award which is one of the three mvp award he won while playing. legendary philadelphia award given out at maxwell award. that should be ten to 20,000. we have a helmet game worn. rarely do you see helmets. because they would use them as randall referenced for years, many years. >> that is his helmet. you don't see impact because he was too fast. >> how much is a well met worth. >> two to 4,000. >> we have lots of fun things like a game ball that he received for different thin

this next conversation includes astronaut walter cunningham.was nasa's third civilian astronaut. he talks about the early apollo missions, the space race with russia. >> thank you for coming out so early. we have a big program today. we are very honored to have with us __ to start __ apollo 7 astronaut walter cunningham. we will get into some questions, but walt was on this pivotal program. they have that terrible fire on apollo 1, these guys had to go up and make it happen, and they did. thank you. let's hear it for walt cunningham. [applause] >> tthat is a pretty good welcome. i keep fearing that i will call him glenn cunningham __ i'm terrible with names. we were talking before, and i want you to explain this. the numbers 13 and 14 had a lot to do with your career in your life. >> like a lot of people, you learn things later they did not know when it was critical. it must have been about 10 years ago. i got an email from a friend of mine. he was the head of public affairs when nasa selected me back in 1963. how many here were alive in 1963?

the program begins with walter cunningham, lunar module pilot on apollo seven in 1968 nasa's third civilian astronaut talked about the early apollo missions among the space race with the russians, and the future of nasa in a conversation at the explorers club in new york city in october. here is a preview. >> apollo seven to this day is the longest, most ambitious most successful engineering test flight of any new machine ever and the reason it was so loaded was because we had lost 21 months after the apollo one fire , a year and a half -- maybe a little less because there was another flight in there -- to go to the moon, and we had to do it supposedly by the end of the decade. so we were trying to make up for that. when we went out for an 11-day mission, none of us we were going to go 11 days. you could not do that on the first mission. we were actually surprised and a little year attended toward the end. no film left, nothing, but still had to go three more days. that was critical and because it was so successful, apollo 8 then went out and went around the moon. >> you can see the entire

we begin with walter cunningham, the lunar module pilot on apollo in 1978. he talked about the space race with the russians and the future of nasa at a conversation at the explorers club in new york city in october. >> thank you, well, and thank you guys for coming out so early. we have a big program today, and we are very honored to have with us -- well, to start, and i think this is great chronologically, apollo seven astronaut walt cunningham. they had the terrible fire on apollo one. these guys had to go up and make it happen and they did. thank you. we have had many legends on, but this is one of the greatest. let's hear it for walt cunningham. [applause] that's a pretty good welcome. i keep hearing that i am going to call him glenn cunningham, the old nfl quarterback. evidently, 13 and 14 had a lot to do with your career and life. talk about it. >> actually, like a lot of people, you learn things later that you did not know when it was critical but about 10 years ago, i got an e-mail from a friend of mine, paul haney, who was the head of public affairs

>> that is correct. >> so why would cunningham versus exxon control that? >> in cunningham vs. exxon there was no one to actually challenge the constitutionality of the statute. it is not only that it has to be a matter of important public purpose but there must be no other individual or entity that can challenge the constitutionality of the statute. >> did we say that in cunningham? >> i believe we did, your honor. >> if there's illegal expenditure, do you still need the both of those? >> the illegal expenditure goes to the taxpayer standing analysis. we would argue that in this case where there is a facial challenge to the constitutionality of the statute, the statute on its face requires reimbursement for every expenditure associated with the statute's implementation, and that there is no unlawful expenditure of taxpayer funds. >> if we were to decide that there was an illegal expenditure, what does that do to your standing? >> if there was an unlawful expenditure of taxpayer funds, we would still submit that this is a case where there are individuals better suited to bring

like i mentioned, randall cunningham is offering up a lot of memorabilia at a live auction. he's been a tough guy to catch up with. we went back to the west coast, now he's a pastor in las vegas. the memorabilia includes game worn jerseys signed by the probowler. auctioning off his mvp awards. doing all this stuff through hunt auctions. when i talked to randall, the best advice he ever got, don't ever forget where you came from. and by the way, the most expensive item there is a jim brown game-worn jersey set to go from anywhere from $75,000 to $150,000 in this auction. we'll have a full story coming up at about 5:00 p.m. we have a link on our website, too, where you can make a bid for this auction. it's coming up at 5:00 p.m. today. also i'm not sure your ears were burning when i was talking to troy vincent, a high-ranking nfl official also former eagles d.b., he had fun during the interview once we started talking about you, fun at your expense, though. and listen don't hate on me right now, i'm only here so i don't get fined. >> yeah. troy's a good buy. he's a great guy.

back to duke cunningham in the context.udget set aside $250 million for a firm in san diego to digitize u.s. army top secret material. now, i know from a former student that the u.s. army really didn't need that material digitized. but he set it aside and therefore it became authorized and appropriated at the same time. which appropriations committees are not supposed to authorize but they do it from time to time and it was for a firm that had no track record in san diego. it was just a shell. well it turns out that duke cunningham's house was purchased for over $700,000 above market value by this firm. now how did we find out about it? was that the house ethics committee is pretty more abundant in terms of investigation. did we find out about it through local investigations? >> yes. by a reporter from the san diego union who loved to look at values of houses. when you get a house you like to look around and find out what's happening in your neighborhood. and he found this one house $700,000 above the price it was purchased

this is maurice cunningham. he was last seen at his family home in the 1500 block of west norris street in north philadelphia. now, police say he had gotten into a fight with his father and he does have behavioral issues. he's 4 feet five, about 93 pounds. if you have seen him please call police with any tips. >>> bucks county has a brand new justice center for cases to be tried. crews are putting finishing touches on the 285,000 square foot building here at 100 north main street in doylestown today. it is the largest capital project in county history. opponents say the eight story $85 million building is a reckless taj mahal but supporters say it is needed. the facility by the way does connect the a parking garage. >> all right time now for a check of our "action news" traffic report on a friday night. >> all right t.g.i.f. let's take to you matt pelman see what's up. >> oftentimes friday evenings can be pretty trying on the traffic front for sure monica and rick. this afternoon though a little bit milder than

for more on all of it let's turn to weather channel's kim cunningham.d evening. >> good evening, lelter. yes, we're going to see really cold air. the coldest of the season coming through. the first one is what caused the severe weather over the weekend. today we've had over 30 records of severe weather across the southeast, including two tornado reports. and check out the temperatures. we're seeing arctic air come southward, but it's going to be after this clipper, this front, this system moves through that we'll see the cold air come in behind it. plus, we'll see snow. and this will come through quickly. so make sure you are ready for this. 5-8 inches of snow in des moines. pittsburgh as well. new york could see this. the swath of snow in this fast-moving system may catch you off guard. and then the next shot comes in, the coldest air of the season, making its way south. temperatures in chicago on wednesday, we'll fight to get above zero degrees and that may be early in the morning and temperatures drop in the day. so lester, really cold air even into

it's near cunningham and highway 101. we are live with an update on the situation. robert it's been a month already. >> reporter: that's right, jessica. the station here remains closed with very limited service. essentially one rescue truck. we found today firsthand how the closure can impact response times. fire engine 16 came to the scene of this multiple vehicle crash today on king road near the 680 onramp. but it took them extra time to get there. it was coming from station 34 about 6 miles further. the engine is set up at station 34 because its home station was closed on december 23rd because of mold problems. it's the possible delays that has the firefighters union concerned about when station 16 will be reopened and when the engine can be put back. >> normally four to six minutes to be on scene. now it's probably twice as long to get water on the fire. >> reporter: the union also points out that even though station 16 has a rescue truck on hand it's not equipped to fight fires. >> i do know there's been multiple fires. some of them going up to multiple alarm

. >> you can see the entire conversation with walter cunningham tonight. he was the lunar ash not in 1968. quacks the c-span cities tour -- >> this c-span cities tour travel to u.s. cities to learn about their cities and literary life. we partnered with time warner cable for a visit to austin, texas. >> the private seat of london and lady bird johnson. this is not part of a tour that is offered to the public. this has never been opened to the public. you are seeing it because of c-span's special access. vips come into this space just as they did in lyndon johnson's day. but it is not open to our visitors on a daily basis. the remarkable thing about this space is that it is a living breathing artifact. it hasn't changed at all since president johnson died in january of 1973. there is a document in the corner of this room sign, among others the then archivist of the united states and lady bird johnson telling my predecessors myself, and my successors that nothing in this room can change. >> we are here at the 100 block of congress avenue in austin. to my lef

we were well-trained as richard knows and the other ones, cunningham can tell you. we spent thousands of hours in a simulator. i probably crashed a thousand times on the moon, in the simulator. [laughter] but i knew how to fly that machine, at the end. and i knew how to handle emergencies. so we mostly had a positive attitude. we're gonna handle it. >> well, you did but didn't one of your crew mates have a less positive attitude? >> well, mattingly, he was a "what if" guy in the command module. what if this happens, what if that happens? but it was a great blend for our crew. it balanced us out, you know. i was more of a guy, ah, press on! we'll get it done, you know. and he was more conservative, but a good balance for our crew. and i think every crew had to work like that. and it was -- fear is not a bad emotion, if you handle it right. fear gets your adrenaline pumping. and if you panic in fear, you're dead. but if you don't panic but respond with training, when that emotion hits, it's going to help you, actually. and so that's what happened when i fell over. i k

we were well-trained as richard knows and the other ones cunningham can tell you. we spent thousands of hours in a simulator. i probably crashed a thousand times on the moon, in the simulator. [laughter] but i knew how to fly that machine, at the end. and i knew how to handle emergencies. so we mostly had a positive attitude. we're gonna handle it. >> well, you did, but didn't one of your crew mates have a less positive attitude? >> well, mattingly, he was a "what if" guy in the command module. what if this happens, what if that happens? but it was a great blend for our crew. it balanced us out, you know. i was more of a guy, ah, press on! we'll get it done, you know. and he was more conservative but a good balance for our crew. and i think every crew had to work like that. and it was -- fear is not a bad emotion, if you handle it right. fear gets your adrenaline pumping. and if you panic in fear, you're dead. but if you don't panic but respond with training, when that emotion hits, it's going to help you, actually. and so that's what happened when i fell over. i k
