jim clyburn of south carolina. >> thank you, thank you very much, madam leader. 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. in fashlgt, the background check had been undertaken. 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, because wrong information was keyed in, either purposefu

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.

take a look at what representative jim clyburn had to say. >> this is not about isis. not about any kind of foreign terror. this is about guns in america and whether or not we are going to have some kind of a moderation to the second amendment as we have to the first. >> no, it's about radical islamic terrorism. ed henson owns the gun store down in florida. by way of background, he's a highly decorated nypd, 9/11 responder, spent months at ground sgreer rzero in the wake of 9/11 and the atf has also acknowledged that no laws were broken, as i've been saying for days now. joining us now with reaction, chris cox. chris, it's almost -- if i could -- it's like a compulsion. they can't acknowledge that law enforcement and the department of homeland security failed. this is a guy that cheered after 9/11, said he was connected to hezbollah, said he wanted to be a martyr. they took him off and want to blame the weapon as though the weapon was responsible. what's your reaction to that and how they politicize this. >> what happened in orlando was both heartbreaking and it's infu

south carolina congressman jim clyburn attempted to ask speaker ryan where the bill stands, but ryan determined his he question was not in order and shut him down. congressman jim himes then walked off the floor saying that he believed, quote, silence is complicit in plowing has shootings to continue. >>> in the wake of the terror in orlando, the president is planning to heat with his natl review on efforts to destroy isis. the president is planning to travel to florida on thursday to stand with the orlando community. >> right now we're watching day two of oscar pistorius' resentencing. we have new video to show you there inside of the courtroom. the former olympic runner could go back to jail for the next 15 years. pistorius was on house arrest for shooting and killing his girlfriend riva seen caeeva ste a panel raised hinges convicts o a more serious charge. back to you. >>> it's 5:07. it turning to the race for the white house now, bernie sanders and hillary clinton will meet later today at clinton's d.c. home. sanders is is hoping for a win tonight in the d.c. primary. on "meet th

the orlando victims, after a testy exchange between speaker ryan and assistant democratic leader jim clyburn>> i am really concerned that we have just today, have a moment of silence, and later this week, the 17th -- >> is the gentleman reading inquiry? >> yes. mr. speaker, i'm particularly interested about three pieces of legislation filed in response. >> the gentleman is not filing parliamentary. melissa: talking about the anniversary of the charleston, south carolina shooting. here with me now is dan heninger and richard goodstein, democratic strategist. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. melissa: dan, you know the same thing happens every time, everybody retreats to their corner and talks about a totally different issue. i think the american public no matter what side you are on, everything is getting worse. >> getting worse and as president obama himself said, a lot of this is a distraction, and i think this repeated calls for assault weapon bans or visiting the gun control laws is indeed itself a distraction because we go through this every time melissa. if the democrats were seri

congressman jim clyburn, very liberal guy from south carolina put forth an amazing analysis of the orlandoror attack to which i replied. >> this gentleman, it is now being revealed has a lot of hate and it seems that some of it was self-hate and consequently, this is not about isis. this is not about any kind of foreign terror. this is about guns in america and whether or not we are going to have some kind of moderation to this second amendment just as we have to the first amendment. >> he gets not about terrorism. it's about gun control. you know, and i just want to slap him with all due respect. you know. what is it going to take? do the isis people have to come to your backyard? do they have to put you in a cage because they will. >> now, i used a slap line as a rhetorical device to show my displeasure. that was obvious unless you are a complete moron. but the crazy left websites who routinely mislead their readers played it up as a actual physical threat. the blackhawk caucus' demanded apology. i also invited congressman clyburn on as well. guess what? they are hiding under their desks

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

. >> 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

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

south carolina congress member jim clyburn took to the floor to ask ryan when the house would consider gun control legislation. but ryan shut him down on procedural grounds. >> thank you very much, mr. speaker. i am really concerned that we just today have a moment of silence -- suggested a we have a moment of silence and later this week, the 17th -- >> is the german stating a parliamentary inquiry? >> yes, i'm particularly interested about three pieces of legislation that have been filed in response -- not -- erman is the victimsmexico, of another mass shooting have been identified. cynthia villegas and her four daughters -- yamilen, cynthia janeth, abby, and ida -- were murdered over the weekend in north roswell. her husband juan david villegas, is charged with murder. we'll have more on the connection between mass shootings and domestic violence later in the broadcast. in santa ana, california, a transgender woman has been shot and injured. authorities said the woman stumbled to a gas station friday after being shot. meanwhile, another lgbt victim was discovered dead in a burned-out

i now yield to my dear friend, the assistant leader, jim clyburn of south carolina. mr. clyburn: thank you, mr. hip, madam leader. i offer a quote from martin luther king jr.'s iconic and i think timely 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. 17th, we friday the will be celebrating or commemorating the first anniversary of what we -- i call the charleston 12. nine people who died and three people who survived, a targeted massacre. that church was targeted. that bible study class was targeted. was s this nightclub targeted. both of these are domestic terrorists issues, yet what's coming to the floor is limited to foreign terrorism. that's not addressing what the problem is here today. and i think that on two counts, there are three bills we have before the floor. my bill deals with closing that loophole, because this young man was not eligible to be buying a gun. but somebody put in the wrong information, i.e. intentionally mi

i now yield to my dear friend, the assistant leader, jim clyburn of south carolina. mr. clyburn: thank you, mr. whip, madam leader. i offer a quote from martin luther king jr.'s iconic, and i think timely, 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. now, from friday the 17th, we will be celebrating or commemorating the first anniversary of what i call the charleston 12. nine people who died and three people who survived a targeted massacre. that church was targeted. that bible study class was targeted. just as this nightclub was targeted. both of these are domestic terrorist issues, yet what's coming to the floor is limited to foreign terrorism. that's not addressing what the problem is here today. and i think that on two counts, there are three bills that we got before the floor. my bill deals with closing that loophole, because this young man was not eligible to be buying a gun. but somebody put in the wrong information, i.e. i

jim clyburn is not allowed to buy a gun because he was arrested protesting civil rights.ut everybody on the no-fly list can? >> i want to make the point that the f.b.i. stripped the term "jihad" and "islammic terrorism" from the f.b.i. training manuals to avoid the issue we see in case after case, f.b.i. agents, the agency as a hold and the civilians are afraid of being accused of islamophobia and it's getting people killed. >> johnson will win thement s. open. bill: a pretty good father's day. dustin johnson won his first major tournament. he was assessed a one-stroke penalty during the penal ground as the ball moved slightly on the green after he was getting ready to address it. the greatest golfers in the world who were not on the course were tweeting about the u.s.g.a., asking what in the world were they thinking. martha: you can't let a decision go on for self minutes. you have to stop play and determine whether you are going to assess a penalty. but they didn't. bill: he played well enough it didn't matter in the end. but a great job. well done. martha: good way to

and i now yield to my dear friend, the assistant leader, jim clyburn of south carolina. mr. clyburn: thank you, mr. hip, madam leader. i often quote from martin luther king jr.'s iconic and i think timely 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 ilence of good people. now, come friday the 17th, we will be celebrating our commemorating the first anniversary of what we, i call, the charleston 12. nine people who died and three people who survived a targeted massacre. that church was targeted. at bible study class was this nightclub was targeted. both of these are domestic terrorists issues, yet, what's coming to the floor is limited to foreign terrorism. that's not addressing what the problem is here today. and i think on two counts -- there are three bills we have before the floor. my bill deals with closing that loophole because this young man was not eligible to be buying a gun. but somebody put in the wrong information. misled intentionally the folks to

failure of the united states congress to put real gun safety legislation, closing the loophole, the jim clyburn rule that says that if you don't get the review and approval by a.t.f., then you do not get the gun. you have to wait until you get the approval from a.t.f. who may be trying to determine whether this person with multiple problems, mental health or background issues doesn't need to get a gun, then ultimately to go kill their spouse, their children, their neighbors, their family members or strangers. so it is my belief today that this health disparities debate is crucial and we should come away from here recognizing that obesity and the issues of can health and hiv-aids be with great investment researched for cures. or cancer that proliferates in our community. triple negative breast cancer, that is legislation that i am -- you i have put forward and gotten -- that i have put forward and gotten passed. but it is the gun violence that we are doing absolutely nothing about and the disparities and the impact of minority communities is atrocious. i want to close simply by ying the word or

it appears that jim clyburn, the assistant democratic leader, is speaking on the floor. let's see if we can hear. mr. clyburn: for one hour. isten as they sit. isten to their phrase. and this dramatically fascinating --

so disappointed with the way they treated jim clyburn last week. i've never seen anything like that. i was so disappointed when they turn off the cameras and they turn off the microphone's. against all process of letting the majority speak its piece. repressiveiticized governments, syria, iraq, china, the first thing we say if they need a free and open press. that they need to be able to understand that the people are doing. here, they turn off the cameras, turn off the microphone. they have moved us in the direction of repressive government. speaker ryan hides behind the thinnest of excuses that people on the terrorist background with need to process. due process. when does that make sense? they have more to process than 300 million americans. -- due process than 300 million americans.

jim clyburn, who has been here for a really long time, highly respected person, he said this was his proudest moment. that really means something. for someone like john lewis to give this his all, to stay up ll night with all of us, yeah, words can't describe how significant a change this represents. and that makes me really happy. that we're capable of doing this. reporter: were you worried about any legislative retribution from the republicans, being cut out further from amendments or anything like that? mr. o'rourke: no. i'm not. i may be overly optimistic or too positive about all of this. but i think the democrats and republicans and independents, all of us i think heard the american people really loud and really clear. i mean, what happened last night and yesterday and this morning and even right now was not a bunch of democratic members of congress, it was the country. i mean, there's no way we would have stayed that long and had this kind of impact if people were not urging us to do it or demanding us to do it. saying, you better stay on that floor. i want you to be there. fi

i want us to explore congressman jim clyburn's plan to direct more federal investment into underservedose 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. , there's no happen question that we have to get washington to work better, and that includes getting money out of our politics. [applause] to take onn: we have 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 democrat, but as an american. i

jim clyburn invest -- he inherited that. -- those are ghost towns in his district map. same thing happened to me textile industry. part of the a big economy in the state and it was shameful that people got on board with that thing. i don't know why it passed overwhelmingly in the senate. that pass succeeded to 30. it was not planned, the conversation was not about the e-mail investigation. our conversation was a great deal about his grandchildren and about our travels. it was a story about how -- the president will be traveling to north carolina to campaign with hillary clinton next week. sponsors for the gop convention are planning to skip it. here are the folks that are going, kevin mccarthy, mitch mcconnell, marco rubio and paul ryan are all planning to attend. trumps fundraising as far reaching even going overseas. e-mails were sent to parliament ,embers for the united kingdom the e-mails were among a wave of fundraising. the solicitations prompted groups to file two separate planes with the sec, alleging that the trial campaign was getting funds from foreign nation

jim hines from connecticut. 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
