democratic congressman john lewis had strong words for republicans. here it is. >> what is happening here today is shameful, it is a disgrace, it is unreal, it is unbelievable. we can do better. if we fail today, how will you face your neighbor? family who are suffering. where's your compassion?! where's your heart?! where is your soul?! >> dana milbank, where does it end? give me the exit strategy. >> that's the problem. usually you can sort of see how these things work out. the disagreement here is fairly trivial, and it's not clear that the democrats have any incentive to get in, so they may just let the republicans stew in their own juice for many more days. and it looks like some people are canceling their holiday vacations. >> it's a hard sell for those republicans to go home and say, well, we're for this tax cut, but two months isn't enough. i think many constituents will say, we'll take the two months and in february you'll renew it. >> there are real-world consequences to this that will affect people in districts and people will living payche

. >> i ask unanimous consent put in the record a statement by congressman john lewis and -- >> without objection both statements. >> and colleagues i support their amendments. you know, on -- we've heard a lot from the other side about the pay forms. it's interesting to note no one is paying for the bush tax cuts. paying for the wars. i'm all for making sure the social security trust fund is whole. we should be able to come to some agreement and this should have been an easy thing for us to do. the same way the unemployment insurance. one more thing on the keystone xl. there is a process in place, and for us for whatever reason to say to hell with the process and we are going to make these decisions regardless of the environmental the impact and other things to think about good policy. so i support your amendments and i hope they are made in order. >> mr. mcgovern if i might say as i recollect what may not say that it states to my memory social security is solvent pretty much and 23 come 2035. i'm concerned about social security as well. i don't believe in frightening seniors that this

john lewis and others attempted to walk from brown's chapel in selma across the bridge towards montgomery. they were met by the alabama state troopers. >> under the orders of governor wallace? >> under the orders of governor wallace. it was never clear what those orders were, but they stopped them. they thought it meant stop them by any means. you had a bunch of deputies who were anxious to do a little head-cracking. that is what happened. >> in just a second, we are going to show you some newreels from 1965 and show you some of the news about those marches from selma, which is 100 or so miles from where we sit now in montgomery. then we are going to introduce you to george wallace's daughter, peggy wallace kennedy. she is inside the mansion. here is the 1965 newreel. >> selma sprang overnight from an obscure southern town to the front pages of newspapers. this church was headquarters for the negro drive. the right to vote. this is where martin luther king came to lend his support to the campaign. from selma's 13,000 negros, only a few more than 300 negroes have been registered at the pol

more from john lewis in atlanta, georgia.aller: what is happening here today is shameful, and a disgrace. it is unreal. it is unbelievable. we can do better. if we fail today, how will you face your neighbor? your family? they are suffering. where is your compassion? where is your heart? where is your soul? host: that is some of the motion that was on the floor yesterday in advance of the house rejecting what the senate approved over the weekend. whether you want to describe it as limbo, a standoff, or stalemate, it continues on this wednesday just a couple of days before christmas. many of you are weighing in on our facebook page. "can we fire them all"? "who is that 11%, anyway? how can anyone be so foolish"? that is the gallup poll he is referring to, where 11% of people approve of the job congress is doing. andy is joining us from san diego, independent line. good morning. caller: actually, i am a republican. if you include the senate as far as 11%, it is probably that low. i would like to remind listeners that the last e

. -- john lewis. >> what is happening here today is simple, a disgrace, and real, it is unbelievable. we could do better. -- unreal. if we fail today, how will you faced or neighbor, family who are suffering? is your compassion? where is your heart? where is your soul? host: family motion on the house floor yesterday whether you want to describe it as limbo or standoff or stalemate, it continues on this wednesday, a couple of days before christmas. many of the waning and on the facebook page. a couple of you were saying can we fire them all? another viewer writes who is the 11% side anyway? that is referring to the gallup poll indicating only 11% of those questioned approved the job congress is doing. and he joins us and the and diego. independent line. good morning. caller: actually i am a republican. i think if you include the senate as part of the 11%, it is probably that low. i would remind listeners that the last election republicans won big-time in every area, primarily because president obama was on the ticket with them. and i have some money thoughts about this, it is hard to

win three straight games without their starting middle linebacker star ray lewis who has been out with a toe injury. coach johnugh hoping that lewis can be back with the team but they are being cautious. as well as the ravens have been playing, ravens say the focus is not on the play offs it's on opponents and improving where there have been mistakes. certainly there were mistakes in cleveland. it was a joe flacco fumble and two field goals. no excuses says the coach. but over all, more reason for the ravens to be pleased than concerned. the defense continued to be dominant. and on offense the ravens running game looking as good as ever with ray rice leading the way. a 9-3 record with four games to go. that's a good spot. especially for a team that prides itself on getting hot as the weather turns cold. >> we would like to believe that we're built, every we do is built for december. we're trying to be our best in december and january. the whole program is organized that way. i think our players understand that and they begin to think that way. and so we try to improve throughout the course of the season in eve

earlier this week congressman john lewis and i attempted to strike this language from the bill with no success. the provision that blocks e.b.t. cards from being used in liquor stores, casinos, and strip clubs doesn't consider a couple of things. it doesn't consider the tremendous cost that this will be to financial institutions who will have to reconfigure their cards. it also will not consider the distance that many americans, 23 million americans, live in so-called food deserts where where there is not access to a grocery store or e.b.t. machine within walking distance. i'd like to submit this report for the record. i just want to mention before i close, mr. speaker, just one personal experience that i had just this last week. the gentleman yield 30 seconds to tell my story? the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for 30 seconds. ms. moore: my sister, one of my sisters, on her way to the hospital this morning, back to the hospital, suffering an aneurysm, and because of didn't have access to a vehicle i went and purchased the last meal i gave her before i journeyed back

shed blood, sweat, and tears to protect, clg our colleague, my dear friend, and representative john lewis of georgia. he marched from selma to montgomery and endured billy clubs, horses, and tear gas to preserve this sacred right, the right to which i'm referring is the right to vote as enshrined in the 14th amendment to the constitution and further protected in the landmark voting rights act of 1965, and the help america vote act of 2002 and various other measures. today nearly five decades after the voting rights act was signed into law and nearly 10 years since the help america vote act, there is still an unprecedented attack on voting rights in states across this country. yet the underlying legislation before the house today would abolish one of the key provisions of the help america votes act, the election assistance commission, which was designed to avoid a repeat of the turmoil surrounding the 2000 presidential election in florida where problems with absentee and military ballots played a large role and led to many of these ballots not being counted. if the commission is abolished

john wall and the wizards taking on the sixers. it was a rough night for washington, but we'll show you the good moments. early 1st quarter rashard lewisthe three, javale mcgee with the layup. he can't make the layup but dunks. john wall struggled with his shooting but had this nice crossover and dunk and finishes with eight points. the wiz rookie crediting, the one-handedally -- contributing, the one-handed alley-oop put the wizards were crushed -- but the wizards were crushed, 103- 78. >> we got a long way to go to find out who are our best guys playing together. you can learn from wins. you can learn from losses. got a shortened season, shortened training camp, shortened preseason, we need to find things out quick. there has to be more of a sense of urgency. >> their next game tuesday night. >>> we continue in the nba, derrick rose and rich harmed ton now with the bulls visiting the pacers -- hamilton now with the bulls visiting the pacers. rose scored two of his 16 pimentos a putback of his own shot -- points a putback on his own shot. >>> 2nd quarter off the turnover irving gets the ball in the fast break and makes the layup and a

he was with john l. lewis. he supported the war and then was against it and then supported it.was quite inconsistent. the best way to see him is as a wonderful attorney who takes the best case, the clarifying case. he speaks truth to power about it. the case of for the market and the company was the one he made at the end of the 1930's. in the campaign, several different cases conflicted with one another. later tonight we'll talk about some great cases that we still talk about today. his positions and what he did. he always stood for free market. he was always pro-war or no war. it is not right. he was a protean man. that was part of his charm. often right, often canny in the switch. it does not make for a good campaign. they could see he was like roosevelt. >> a lot more to talk about. we want to show you another piece of film. this is from the republican national committee as a way of trying to frame william willkie -- that childhood and roots of wendell willkie. we will come back and talk to david willkie about his grandfather. >> wendell willkie, born 48 years ago, emerges

happen in the civil rights movement with reverend jackson, without sharpton, with andy young, with john lewist concern about the stability of black justice institutions, whether it's the naacp, the legal defense fund, the lawyers committee, the foundation funding is shrinking up. i don't want us to not have this institute for jesse jackson but also don't want us to get caught up in the cold personality easy. i want us to talk about how does rainbow/push carry on, how does national action network carry-on, how does the national negro college fund carry on? one of the things i think that kids got so upset about is that they've worked for barack obama but they didn't get jobs in the obama administration, but they were trained to be, they should have jobs in the black leadership forum's. they should have jobs, but we don't have the interest in giving and sustaining those organizations. so i think we need to focus on our need to build institutions while we talk about our leaders, to. >> is this mic open? is alive, is a hot? i would like to get opportunity with the panelists agreeing to maybe take

john. >> yeah. well, speaking of ray lewis and his number, we have 52 degrees today.tly sunny and it is a pretty chilly day but again seasonably normal, 28 degrees tonight, then 54 for your -- we have been calling the first purple friday of december. it is going to be a pretty cold forecast up in cleveland. >> yeah one of your weather displays has the high pressure area right over cleveland. >> yeah. >> and you have these giant arrows coming down from the great north. >> yes, we do. >> that looks like it is going to be cold, cold, cold, in cleveland. >> there you have it. >> yeah. >> that is it, cleveland will be chilly. >> cleveland, where the arrow. >> we are talking a 4:00 start. >> yeah. >> yeah, it will be cold. >> it probably gets dark there at 3:30 in the afternoon this time of year because they are in our time zone but at the other end of end. >> the twilight in cleveland. >> you set them up for me right. it is breaking box office records as you heard and now breaking into the morning edition as well. a member of the cullen family is going to join us next, car

john colter. by 1806, he'd become one of the most able members of the lewis and clark expedition as it crossed an uncharted continent to the pacific. for three years, he'd endured every adventure and hardship -- hunting, starving, meeting new tribes, confronting grizzly bears. yet two months short of the expedition's return to the comforts of st. louis, colter turned and headed back into the wilderness. on foot, carrying a rifle and a 30-pound pack, he headed up into an unmapped country called the yellowstone. there was no national park back then, no state of wyoming, just fierce, wild country no american had ever seen. what would john colter have witnessed as he reached the rim of lamar valley that winter 200 years ago? like winter itself, wolves test a herd of bull elk. the elk show themselves to be fit, but it's early in the season yet. the wolves of lamar will have to wait. photographer tom murphy is a modern-day adventurer who, like john colter, finds it hard to come in from the cold. for 26 years, he's spent part of each winter camping in the back country. his book, "silence and solitude,"

johns. where -- representative lewis, and tim waltz. are free to make an opening statement at this time. walter, we will start with you. >> thank you. we are living in a time when the american people do not trust congress since the bailout of wall street, the party made off a scandal, the american people have been disappointed in its elected officials concerning financial issues. 60 minutes recently escalated speculation and it raised more questions about those in power not playing by the same rules as the american people. according to many experts, those at the top of the financial world manipulated information to the detriment of the american tax payer and investors big and small. as members of congress, it is our job to follow a strong honor code and it to hold those accountable who are profiting from positions of power. the american people should never, ever have the slightest perception that we are using our office to patriate our own pockets. that is why i believe in support the start act. is it proper first step and maintained in
