dr. marshall was doing cpr.ne of the things viewers may not know about cpr, if yoyou have never performed it is it's increed dibbably tiring. few cpr, 10, 15, maybe 20 minutes. really sometimes you are worn out in six or seven minutes. >> oops enormous amount of effort. when you do it by hand often it's a tag team. somebody is doing cpr until they are drenched in sweat doing cpr and rotate to somebody knew when somebody is worn out doing cpr. >> sandra: brings us to a great point how many doctors we are learning are members of congress. >> quite a few. >> sandra: seems like a large percentage. >> right. >> harris: we do have congressman fleischmann still on the line with us, correct? >> that's correct, yes. >> harris: we have senator rand paul here. i'm sure you could hear the medical points that he was making which i imagine might echo some of what you have been hearing. but if you have any questions for senator rand paul in terms of the medical, we have him standing by. i know, also. >> kennedy: is that discon

dr. marshall worked on that person.hen we got his vantage point from inside the train, describing those injuries that others say they have had and suffered. he confirmed once again, yes, you're going to have some people with head injuries. and you're going to have some bumps and bruises, but nothing like what he had seen outside that train. and outside the perimeter of that accident where they had been thrown out of the car or however it -- or rather that drumpt. nothindump truck. perspective from dr. marshall, also a member of congress from the hill who is traveling today to that republican retreat. he said -- he and others have said today they are determined to get to the retreat. even if it takes the rest of today to get there in west virginia. more than ever they feel that the issues that face americans are strong in their minds and they want to get to work. senior chil capitol hill producr chad pergram joins us by phone -- oh, we get to see new personal. thank you for being here. >> of course. >> harris: you and i

dr. roger marshal who treated some of the injured is joining us now by phone as well. what can you tell us about the injuries and the situation with those whom you treated at the scene? >> i walked on to the scene. there was obviously a handful of in congress got on to the scene. three people were injured and looked like one person was walking away. first person was down. dr. winstrip were trying to secure the airway and assess those injuries. they were working on another person trying to dpet an airway there. so i jumped in and helped dr. row. couldn't find a pulse. so we started cpr. and worked on that person for several minutes. we just could never get him resuscitated, i'm afraid. we tried shocking him. could never get a good airway and at some point in time, we decided we needed to focus all of our attention on the other person who was at least had a pulse. >> dr. marshal, can you tell us what his fatal injuries were, what was your observation when you first saw this poor injured man? >> just major head trauma, internal trauma. it was too gruesome to even talk abo

well, to explain this streak of freezing temperatures i spoke a brief time ago to dr marshall shepherda scientist who is now at the university of georgia. remember i'm a layperson who does not understand the injury sees of weather technology, but what on earth is a bomb cyclone? this bomb cyclone, that's the new buzzword, it was polar vortex a few years ago, it's reallyjust a storm that intensifies really rapidly. it drops in pressure, 02a millibars a day. a minibar is how meteorologists measure pressure. when you hear the term "bomb", think of a rapidly intensifying storm. and it's something that's been around in our field for some time, but it seems to be quite new to the media and public. ok, so does that explain why it's so very, very cold up here in washington. it's cold in washington for a couple of reasons. the simple answer is, it's winter and we certainly expect it to be this cold. but we have an arctic air mass that has been entrenched in the eastern part of the united states for several weeks now. and because of the differences in air mass between an arctic air mass and warm

dr. marshall from kansas, they were first on the scene before the first-responders here to take care vick sills. it was good that we had a number of members willing to do that. neil: it appears the retreat is still on, presumably later tonight the vice president addressing all of you is still on. the president addressing you tomorrow is still on? >> that's right. this is an important, as you already said this is important opportunity for us to gather as republicans to talk about the strategy for 2018, what we hope to achieve. we have a lot of work to do as the president laid out in his vision in the state of the union last night. of course this is a pretty tragic start to our weekend retreat but, but we do have a lot of work to do. as you talk to you right now the train is moving. neil: i see that. >> we're headed down the tracks to a station to hop on a bus and go the rest of the way. neil: i'm glad you're well, sir. i hope everything works out here. while i still have you as the train is moving from the accident site, we got an fbi statement on this gop memo, sir, the fbi is not too kee

dr. cassidy, marshall and others did what we could for the gentleman who was severely injured.raumatic experience for all. we did what we could to help him. i'm just praying for him. >> how just absolutely awful. of course, our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to those families. do you understand exactly -- were the guardrails down when the truck was trying to make the turn? did you see anything out the the window? >> when we went by, when they pulled the train back, the guardrails were down and i think everyone said that they were down. so we don't know exactly what happened. that will be up to the ntsb to determine. all i know is that a lot of members, families and staff were thrown around the train a little bit. we had some minor injuries. as i know you described. you know, again from a physician's perspective, getting to the scene, it was pretty awful. we did what we could for the gentleman who was still living. unfortunately we couldn't do anything for the other gentleman. we're just hopeful that the one that is injured recovers. i tell you, this could have been much wo

dr. roger marshall saying we're on our way to our annual gop retreat.he train carrying members and spouses hit something. we're okay, i'm helping those that are injured. i will keep you updated as we know more. so we're seeing some things come out on twitter right now from those who are involved. this is one of the first pictures that is coming in. there is actually a train stop at the resort so this is something that had been in the works for a while and it's hard to make out that picture. >> jon: it looks like a train car. if so it is we're told there are injuries but don't know the extent. chad perg rum is joining us by phone. >> i'm hear the train accident happened near krozette, virginia west of charlottesville. they left early this morning bound for the greenbriar and white sulfur springs, west virginia, the annual retreat. the president was supposed to speak to the group tomorrow and vice president tomorrow. i'm told that the locomotive hit what appeared to be a trash truck and the locomotive has derailed. in indication that any of the other cars

you -- it is in the text -- i am not going to quote for you because i can't, what thurgood marshal said about dr. king. yeah, that thurgood marshall. the leading journalist of the day, and other black media outlets, turned on dr. king. so, the white house has turned on him. the media has turned on him. white folk turned on him. black folk have turned on him. and if that is not enough, inside his own organization, he could not get a consensus to support him on his opposition to the vietnam war. him to give want that speech in the first place. as a matter of fact if you read the story, his own organization, -- dr. king founded the organization. his board of directors passed a resolution to condemn him over his stance on the vietnam war. his organization. writes a resolution to condemn him. i would hate for them to come after me. -- i willrow -- negro start signing the checks around here. here is your pink slip. goodbye. don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. but dr. king was so loving and so kind, he was going to adam's house for dinner. his organization is voting to condemn him

all the doctors that are members of congress, roger marshall, dr.bishon, congressman from evansville. they all left the train and immediately went to the injured and started performing cpr and doing everything they could to keep the second person alive and well enough to be transported when the helicopter got there. of course, the other victim was, from what i understood, didn't have a pulse by the time they got there. >> dana: all right. congressman jim comer, thank you very much for providing us your eyewitness account of that. >> absolutely. thank you. >> dana: all right. bye-bye. president trump saying there's never been a better time to start living the american dream. reaction to the state of the union address and the latest on a major congressional retirement. >> you work hard, if you believe in yourself, if you believe in america and you can dream anything, you can be anything. and together, we can achieve absolutely anything. [ applause ] i take pictures of sunrises, but with my back pain i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found al

in 1952, calvary baptist hosted a conference that had thurgood marshall there as their speaker. in 1953, dr. king was interviewed there to be one of the pastors at calvary baptist church. the elders of the church heard him, read about him, met him, and then turned him down. this is my favorite quote from one of the elders of the church. they said they didn't think he had enough gravy on him yet. he was too young, not experienced enough. that was in 1953. ten years later, he was standing on the mall right down the street, saying i have a dream, leading the entire country. i say that to say sometimes we have this assumption that we're in control. we're not. god's in control. he has a path and a plan that sometimes even when we here know hard things, we find out he has a path that may look different than ours. i would only challenge us as a body to be able to do the right thing, the right way, and to see where that takes us. as it says in psalms 34, taste and see that the lord is good, to do it the right way, and let's see how this works out together. it's a simple reminder and a simple admoni

thedegree or how political environment here be able to marshal the unity that was necessary to get -- to engage the whole country in the war fighting effort? dr kennedy: that's an excellent question. i'm not sure i have an excellent answer. lies in the realm of things that are very difficult to quantify and specify with the kind of concreteness and historians and social scientists are attracted to. there was a degree of shared experience in the great depression that antedated the war itself. a degree of confidence in government as an effective institution because the depression had not been ended, but it had been seriously reduced its effect on the american people in the preceding decade. those were psychological assets that went to work in the war. and contrasted with world war i once again. there was relatively little dissent. the war vote taken in 1917, number 56 votes. against the war resolution. theas only one vote against war resolution on december 8, 1941, and woman by the name of jeannette rankin, the congresswoman from monday -- from montana. the only person who voted against american participation in both of those wars was that same
