next to his name was john lewis barkley, one of 120 americans awarded the medal of honor for their actions in world war i. john louis barkley was in the third division of the american expeditionary forces. on october 8, 1918 he was acting as a forward observer and he realized that there was a whole german regiment that was going to go around him if he did not reveal himself, and that he basically came up with a plan to protect his regiment. he climbed inside an abandoned french ft-17 tank, took a german machine gun that was laying about and he knew how to repair it, being a scout, and he let the germans go by him, and in the ensuing battle there were -- he killed at least 200, maybe 240 germans, and saved his regiment from being attacked from the rear. when he left the tank, he only had a couple of burns on his uniform from bullets, and when they went back after the battle to look at the tank and to assess what he had done, they found over 4,000 expended cartridges in the tank. for his actions of that day, thinking of no one but his own men, he was awarded the medal of honor. and after the

>> well, listen, john lewis is an american hero.t his life on the line again and again as a very young man during the civil rights movement in order to secure the right to vote for people, the right to sit at lunch counters, ride public transportation. he speaks with a moral authority of someone who really did put it on the line. his thoughts there on the media seem very relevant today. he reminds us of how important it is for reporters to be there to bear witness, because that is essential to democracy. so i was -- it was a really, really great conversation with an extraordinary man. i hope people tune in. >> can't wait to see it. that's 10:00 tonight eastern right here on cnn. david axelrod, thanks so much. >> thanks, you guys. have a great day. >>> up next for us -- check out this pretty incredible scene five years ago. it has happened again, but this time with deadly consequences. the caribbean beach tradition took a tragic turn. >>> but first, the cnn series, "the history of comedy" returns sunday night. it explores how humor c

john lewis got elected and served in government, after protesting. they wanted the voting rights act so they can have the right to vote. so they could then, particularly at the local level, have an impact on city council, city managers, mayors. so that they could then be represented in government. that their point of view could be represented. - but you understand that in communities like dallas, austin, houston, san francisco, chicago, pick a city, people believe that coming out and showing that they have a problem with the way things are, whatever that issue may be, whatever the community may be, they believe that having their voices heard is an essential component, maybe the first pebble in the path of our democracy. you're not saying they shouldn't do that. - no, i'm saying let's contrast that with the last city council election in dallas, just a few weeks ago. 6% turnout. - right. - which means 94% of the people at the local level, stayed at home. and when you protest and have that kind of participation in our local democracy, you cannot expect

david axelrod asked representative john lewis about the election.ald trump. >> despite the fact that he got the requisite number of electoral votes, he often uses the word riddle. you think the election was rigged in his favor? >> well, i truly believe to this day that this election was rig interested in his favor. clayton: rigged in his favor. >> that means we won. i respect john lewis. he has been an icon of the civil rights for 40 years. if he were called. that person would be called a racist. not only did donald trump win. not only was it the requisite number of electoral votes as david said. he far surpassed what the requisite number walls. no one prevented hillary clinton from going to wisconsin or iowa or ohio or pennsylvania or michigan. all out places that she could have gone to to campaign. todd: when does this end? >> listen, the democrats never want it to end because they have no message, they have no narrative. they have no leader. if you asked right now who is the leader of the democratic party, there is no consensus. if the leader is

he ran into john lewis.about john lewis talks about his autobiography is meeting now malcolm was and they are cordial as the indication he is moving more and more and shortly. thereafter moving closer and closer to where you are so can you meet me halfway now, already reached a certain plateau of understanding of an analysis.n o sanitation workers. it was nothing new for him so to have martin talking about then you can see the politicales, coi trajectories coming closer andcs closer together. it's going back to 1964 when they happened to bump into each other it is a kind of photo op. they went to selma and at that time, martin was in the same jail and they catch that moment he is telling her i thought his back more or less is what he's saying. he's reaching out and expressing an attitude of protection if they don't deal with margin they will have to deal with me, kind of a hidden threat. so that is anothe another that m was beginning to reach out in such a way that he had never done before. when we talk about this being a farce on washington, we talkedsa about 1963 almost a year late

and it's really important to point out, i mean, we have representative john lewis who is a hero of the civil rights movement, but i always encourage people to watch the documentary "eyes on the prize" so they can see how people were treated, how people were treated by law enforcement, how people were treated by people that were in positions of power, people that were act i in the community, people that belonged@lions club or the elks club, the way they treated people who were simply trying to register to vote. there is one scene that i'll never forget about a woman that was trying to go and vote and she was being kicked and shoved and hit and knocked to the ground by law enforcement. in alabama. for simply trying to exercise her right to vote that was given to her in the early 1900's when women in this country were finally given the right of suffrage. nd it's really in their memory that congress initially passed the landmark voting rights act of 1965. for years, both republicans and democrats re-authorized the voting rights act, agreing that equal access to the polls must be preserved

political commentators matt lewis, bakari sellers and john brabender here to talk about all of this. we just sara's report, the all awful anti-semitic messages that tabbia gersh has received. gersh calls them terrorists. how do you see it, matt lewis? >> i think they are obviously trolls. but i think that it extends to the terrorism level. so not all trolls are terrorists. not all terrorists are trolls. you can be both things. in this case, there are people who troll people, they get on twitter or on the internet. want to get a rise out of you. they want to basically you know, get a reaction. but when it gets to the point where you're like putting their cell phone on the internet, their home address on the internet, that is an intent to rise somebody, to scare them. even if it's never acted on, you have caused that person to be fearful. that's a very serious thing. and so that's. >> do you think they should be prosecuted if someone docs someone? >> i'm very hesitant to become litigious but i do believe you could make a very good case that somebody, that you were putting their lives in
