michael jackson had died. people all over the planet poured into the streets, mourning the loss of the singer who had moved generations of music lovers. michael was burr rid at forest lawn in glendale, california. jermaine jackson returns to his brother's final resting place for the first time since then and sat down with me for an eye-opening interview. this is where michael jackson is interred. one year ago today, the nation stunned by the death of this incredible superstar at age 50. by the way, other people buried or interred here include lucille ball, jack baring, clark gable, george burns, jimmy stewart, humphrey g humphrey bogart spencer tracy. our special guest is jermaine jackson. what can we say? what's this year been like? >> it's been tough, larry. it went so fast. we've been just putting the pieces together and the family's having a lot of meetings. and just trying to hold on. >> larry: have you come to terms with it? have you ever really accepted it because he was so young? >> it's hard. no, we h

jackson was not db you know jackson had his difficulties with members of the judiciary later on when it came to stories about the bank but jackson was not to be intimidated so instead of bringing in the editorial writer he incarcerated the judge and slated the judge for detention alongside the writer of the editorial, though he eventually relented on that and took the judge to the edge of the military district, at which time he gave him what i like to refer to as the right foot of fellowship and the judge out of the district. this story has always charm that fiction would have, except you wouldn't believe it, were it fiction. obviously the news of the peace treaty comes and the civil government is restored in new orleans, the judge who had issued the order of habeas corpus, which had not been followed, which had been more than repudiated, had been contempts youly disobeyed he orders and finds jackson in contempt of court and fines jackson $1,000. in 1815. $1,000 in those days was roughly enough money to buy, i think, between 2 1/2 and three mid western states. that was a lot of money

we're marking the one-year anniversary of michael jackson's death. jermaine jackson returned to forest lawn with me for the first time since his brother was laid to rest there it's a beautiful place, but jermaine wants michael at neverland, as he told us during a visit there last year. hi, jermaine. needless to say, this is unbelievable. where are we? >> we are looking over neverland. this is what he considered as the ultimate joy, the ultimate happiness, the ultimate wonderment, the ultimate peace. this is neverland. >> larry: and this is one small part of this whole picture, right? >> yes. this is one small part. there is so much more. other valleys beyond these hills here that are just flat surfaces. mt. catherine around here. >> larry: named for your mother.

jackson lee: i'm delighted to have mr. cao join my amendment that i had in the rules committee and i'm delighted he was able to rise to claim the time for this amendment. this is an amendment that i've written and asked mr. cao to join me as he had a similar amendment and i appreciate very much the support that he has given and recognize the concerns that he has expressed. i want to support the underlying bill as well and to make note of the fact that small businesses are now facing the most difficult time in the worst recession in our history. according to a february, 2010, report of the federal deposit insurance corporation, total bank loans and leases decliped for the sixth straight quarter with total loans to commercial and industrial borrowers declining 4.3% and real estate construction development loans declining by 8.4%. that means that small businesses get the strongest hit and this bill will focus in particular on the question of providing a lending scheme, a lending structure, which is paid for to provide the sta

jackson had charisma. he had great leadership qualities. tocqueville just did not get it. >> how long did they meet? >> half an hour, at most. it was not hard to arrange a meeting in the white house in those days. they shook hands with the president, who was exhausted, ill, had no idea his reputation in the great book was at stake. he was polite to a couple of young frenchmen. >> how did he meet john quincy adams? >> it was at the house of a politician in boston. the politician is notorious for droning on for two hours at gettysburg where lincoln gave his historic address. according to tocqueville, adams had willingly lost the presidency in 1828, rather than compromise his principles. he had been elected to the house of representatives, which seems like an extraordinary choice for a politician to make, having been president. in addition, adams thought deeply about american history. he was the son of one of the founders, spoke perfect french, had a great diplomatic career. tocqueville was deeply impressed by his wisdom. >> tocqueville lived

>> -- toward andrew jackson. when did he meet with him? but it was toward the end when he was disillusioned -- >> it was toward the end when he was disillusioned. most people remember that in 1824, you have the most popular votes, but their work four candidates, not a majority -- there were four candidates, not a majority. what looked like a backroom deal -- for the four years, jackson should have been president and he was not. in 1828, he was elected. most of the patricians that tocqueville met at the beginning of his trip feared jackson. they thought he won an irrelevant battle in new orleans and that was all that had gotten him the reputation. it was terribly shortsighted. jackson had charisma. he had great leadership qualities. tocqueville just did not get at. >> how long did they meet? >> half an hour, at ost. it was not hard to arrange a meeting in the white house in those days. they shook hands with the president, who was exhausted, ill, had no idea his reputation in the great book was at stake. he was polite to a couple of young fr

jackson was an aggressive defender of freedom. he loved it. that was not the age of the blackberry or the cell phone or the telephone. they did not invent two tin cans and a string at that time. he was fighting and not knowing the treaty had been signed on the 24th of december of 1814. after he pretty much slaughtered the british, it was a brutal battle in 1815, early in january. no one knew about the treaty having been signed. it was not official. it became apparent the british were not a threat like they once were. an editorial appeared in a french-speaking newspaper in new orleans that said, you are a great general, but please give us our freedom back. you have declared martial law. the editorialist requested to have the city back. jackson was not what you would call a civil liberties enthusiast. writer of found the right her the editorial and have him jailed. writ of habeas corpus. the federal judge issued the writ and said bring the writer of the editorial. he ordered the editorial writer to be brought forward. jackson had his difficultie

colonel jackson's time at little rock has included several serious challenges. the district has worked to reduce flood damage and repair public infrastructure affected by serious natural disasters and the affects of age. the district has strengthened its partnership of the tulsa district in the management and improvement of the arkansas river navigation system. a vital transportation corridor of national economic significance. finally, the district is carrying out an aggressive plan to ensure that numerous projects provide jobs and encourage economic development, that they're carried out as quickly as possible in partnership with state and local sponsors. all of this is thanks to the steadfast and reliable leadership of colonel jackson. they also made improvinged communication and engagement with the public a high priority. reflecting is understanding that we must be helpful and available to citizens. as well as elected leaders including state and local officials. following floods in early 2008, the colonel recognized that the district needed to improve communic

is it true michael jackson wanted to perform with you on his "this is it" comeback tour?very difficult, because i don't necessarily like to talk about those very personal things that happened. i guess i can speak about it now. i was actually asked to open for michael on his tour. and we were going to open for him at the o2, and we were working on making it happen. >> larry: wow. >> and i suppose i believe there was some talk about lots of the openers doing duets with michael on stage. but michael's death was devastating for me regardless of whether or not i was supposed to go on tour with him. he's such an inspiration and remarkable human being. i guess i suppose, larry, some of my fascination with death and the demise of the celebrity goes along with me watching these hugely iconic and amazing people that i have heralded and admired my whole life become destroyed. whether self-destroyed or destroyed by the media. >> larry: how did you come up the -- with the idea of the incredible idea of these costumes? of not just singing and dancing, but the way you present yourself,

jackson lee: thank you for your laidership and boldss on this issue. i hold in my hand a version of the constitution that is in this very distinct book of rules and clearly, i think it is important for the american people to understand really the% action items of this legislation. can you imagine a government contractor being paid by your tax dollars? they might be doing the right thing, we don't know. but advocating, with your tax dollars, for a position you don't wa, without you knowing that is occurring. this bill is under the first amendment because it says that we give you more transparency. if we read the constitution in its entirety the opening says that we have come together to form a more perfect union that means if people are discity -- dissatisfied with this bill they have a right to petition tote the courts. we believer erring on the side of rightness, allowing people to be elected or run for office, dominated, slammed down on the basis of big money. this is a good change, i ask my colleagues to support this legislation. i yield back. the c

jackson lee: mr. speaker, the research by "usa today" show that americans are paying the lowest tax rate since the 1950's. not the 1990's, not 2001 or 2002, but since the 1950's. the democrats' tax cuts to middle class and small businesses are helping this economy. the economy continues to move in the right direction, and it is being sustained, unemployment is going down and 90% of our metropolitan areas, and the president is attacking the b.p. oil spill in the right way as i represent the gulf region where fishermen and oystermen are as well as oil workers we have to make sure we continue to save job. that means that the industry needs to reform itself. we need a plan that is approved by experts that is independent of the government and the industry. we are saving and creating jobs, but we are concerned about safety and security. this is a right path. democrats reduced taxes. the president's in charge. we're going to be able to see america recover. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelad

jackson lee: i thank the speaker. here's what i'd like to do. i'd like us to be able to engage and tell you what our issues are whatever we are running for. and, yes, we have to run with the resources that we have to raise. and when i say that, individuals who are running for office, no matter what party they're in, but what we most want to do is break the locks and chains that big money can mischaracterize an election. we want to take away the right of those who want to demonize someone who, for example, maybe interested in comprehensive immigration reform. that's their viewpoint. they're running on that. maybe they're not. or someone who's running against it. we don't want to have big money demonize a prospective that maybe the public should hear. so i don't know what the opposition is on the other side because the first amendment is protected, and i believe though it's a struggle because we know that there are elements that do raise the concern of some but i would argue that i want to break those locks and break those chains of big money tell

second off, thank you very much for that little film from fort jackson, because being from down here,utes from theman -- from the marsh, and i see the brown pelican every time we go to the marsh to fish, and i also see the raccoons, rabbits. it's incredible to wildlife. this is called the sportsman's paradise for a reason, ok? and every time i see pictures of birds that are covered with oil, i get so sad, i want to cry. but seeing these volunteers coming from all over the country to fort jackson, god bless these people, because that's our state bird. all of these resources down here are very important to the people like me that grew up here in the marsh, that fish and hunt and enjoy it so much. thank you for what you do, miss frances. i'm just overwhelmed this morning. thank you. guest: well, thank you so much for saying that. i think looking at these videos of cleaning up the birds, you really have to thank the volunteers and people who come together from all over the country to be available to louisiana, to the gulf coast, to really ensure that there is a maximum clean-up operation.

the same thing happened in the jackson versus board of birmingham education ccse. it happened in this section 1981 case on the basis of that same parallel language, which the court refused to give significance dto in gross. >> anti-retaliation cases are usually easier to prove, because there is some sort of smoking gun. you can show that, as opposed to a failure to hide or to promote where the mixed motive issues come in. it is a giveaway on the retaliation cases. it does not make up for the losses on these kind of core questions. emmy turned to jonathan dayton -- let me turn to john payton and the issue of discrimination cases, both statutory and constitutional, and ask you, what kind of concerns keep you up at ninth these days when you think about the supreme court? -- at night these days when you think about the supreme court? what about that decision in the section 5 of voting rights case -- section 5 voting rights case? that still has me scratching my head. >> there are two different kinds of tensions here that have been mentioned. what does the court do with

i have had frequent contact with lee said jackson on this. the overall approach is to minimize dispersants on the surface because they are not as effective -- effective as of seed. they go on top of the oil and you get less effect because the oil is several inches deep and dispersants acting on the top, you need to mix it up and emulsify for them to have the greatest effect. applying at the point of discharge, there is a better mix it already. but more effective at a lower rate. the general strategy is to use subsea dispersants wherever possible and minimize the amount on the surface that is needed for safety or existent circumstances. we did a video on the oil rigs last week when i was out there. in the background one of the offshore supply vessels was spring water around the discover enterprise. organic compounds that are coming up out of the oil sitting around the ship. actually a threat to personal safety and help with the vapors. dispersants' put them down. you would rather use water. there may be times because of the situations you may

how we treated the indians -- the indians and when jackson was president and about the difficulties ofsegregation and desegregation. public gradually coming along. but how, to go back to the question, can we bring them along without just writing things they like? i do not have an answer. it is lovely to ask questions you have no answer to. [laughter] that is why it is so hard for me to ask questions in oral argument. i am trying to ask questions, but they have to be questions i already know the answer to and were written about, so nobody understands the question. note -- [laughter] the answer has to be in part to tell people what we do. and when i say we, i do not mean just these judges today, and i do not even mean just the judges. that is why i love this film. because it did not just have judges. because it showed more about the institution than that. it showed a the judges, who aren't there temporarily. i will not say that is a -- who are there temporarily. i will not say that is a bad thing. it showed the building, which i think is part of it, not because of its grandeur, but what

i talked about it when michael jackson died and suddenly became this great hero. nuts. i said, has everyone forgotten he was a druggy and pedophile? and then i thought -- i won't go into what i said in the act, and this one guy called out, and he said, he did the moonwalk, miss rivers. and i said, i'd be walking backwards too. but i try to tell the truth, and a lot of people don't like it. >> larry: joan's daughter, melissa, as she mentioned earlier, is an integral part of this film, "a piece of work." as we discussed earlier, she was very candid about her mom, her mom's career, and what drives comics. watch. >> all stand-ups are innately insecure. who would stand on a stage by themselves and say, laugh, laugh at me, laugh with me, i don't care, just laugh. and i think that's just sort of the nature of the beast. overall, it's just sort of my perception growing up in the world of comedians, they were all very damaged and they need that reassurance. it's all a cover. >> larry: true, huh? >> look how smart she is. >> larry: nailed you. >> nailed me 100%. i was so am

in fort jackson, there is quite a lot going on. an umbrella of our military. the chairman of the armed services committee, ike skelton of missouri, says that we have the best counterinsurgency force in history. to me, it is clear, we need to stop the bombings in afghanistan, or we will continue to see the potential of the tax, whether in is in times square or detroit. i would much prefer this young generation fight the terrorists overseas, not in the continental united states. host: from twitter -- guest: i would refer you to the pentagon. that is a legitimate concern. i know this. just this week we have an improvised explosive device which killed a governor of a district in afghanistan. i am confident that we do keep count of acts of terrorism, barbarism, that they are conducting amongst the people of afghanistan. we know that the terrorists attacked mosques, mumbai. it is not just on america. these islamic extremists will kill people, whoever they are, wherever they are. i was in amman, jordan, and the building next to us blow up. i was in pakistan and then
