my main message is to the parents of trayvon martin.a son he'd look like trayvon. >> occupy wall street, voter i.d. requirements and stand your ground laws which more than half of the united states still has on the books. to some, these are reasons to resurrect the movement of protest against social injustices. the civil rights movement of the 1960s is considered one of the greatest movements in american history. but many of the issues that dr. king marched for are the same issues plaguing us today. has anything really changed? have african-americans become too complacent? is it time to resurrect the movement? >> we will not rest, we will not stop. we will not forget. >> we brought together a panel of leaders. the president and ceo of the national urban league. dr. jamal bryant, pastor of the empowerment temple in baltimore, and dr. eric dyson, sociology professor. we asked the question -- are we in the midst of a moment or a movement? >> i hope it's a movement, i hope it will ignite a greater degree, whether it's voter i.d., whether it

martin luther king. he served as chair of the student nonviolent coordinating committee, helped organize the freedom rides and spoke at the 1963 march on washington. he has been arrested more than 40 times and has just written a new book called across that vision for change. he visited us in our studio, and i asked congressmember lewis about the voter purge in florida, where the justice department had sued to block republan governor rick scott's controversial effort to remove thousands of registered voters from the rolls, using an outdated drivers' license database to ostensibly identify non-citizens registered to vote. rep. john lewis: it is unreal, it is unbelievable, that at this time in our history, 47 years after the voting rights act was passed and signed into law, that we're trying to go backward. i think there is a systematic, deliberate attempt on the part of so many of these states-not just florida, but it's all across the country, it's not just southern states-to keep people from participating

these are home runs, martin.se are just incredible performances, and i think barack obama's going to come in here tonight, and he's going to own this night. he's going to own this convention, own this group. and i really think he is now in control of the campaign the rest of the way when he leaves shar the lo. >> lawrence, the final question to you. how does the quality of speeches at this convention compare with last week in tampa. please stop yourself from laughing, lawrence. >> i actually think for the case the republicans were trying to make last week, i thought that the nominees' speeches were reasonable for the cases they were trying to make. now, i recognized right off the bat that they weren't trying to make truthful cases, but for what they were arguing, i thought they did a reasonable job. when they look back on it now, every single reasonable speech, there's been a lot of speeches given this week that were not in primetime coverage that have been fantastic. just incredible assistance in this hall. >> e

martin.t you've been very active and out front on this story so while i have you here i want your take on this legal evidence coming forward that there is no evidence from trayvon martin. so the story of zimmerman saying that trayvon martin made attempts toward his gun, they're also saying there is not conclusive dna on the gun's holster from trayvon martin at all either. it's just zimmerman. >> yeah. thomas, this is huge. this is huge evidence that shows that george zimmerman really was engaged in an effort to track down and kill trayvon martin. and it is unfortunate that this has happened. i feel for the martin family. but i believe that we are on the road to justice in this case as more evidence comes out. we keep seeing that george zimmerman is not telling the truth about what happened on that day. and so i believe that justice is going to be done for trayvon martin and his family. >> again, nbc news just learning and confirming that evidence released in the george zimmerman case showed t

>> well good afternoon, martin.st lady wrapped up her remarks last night, people started tweeting michelle 2016. so i think that says it all. she set the bar pretty high for president obama. i spoke with one of his aides last night that said his speech is in good shape. he has been practicing it. he has been working on this speech for several weeks now with his team of speech writers. so they are feeling really good going into tomorrow night. of course, there is a lot riding on this speech. if mitt romney's challenge was to really introduce himself to the american people, to make people like him, president obama's challenge is to make people fall in love with him once again to remember why they were so excited about him back in 2008. and also, convince them to stick with him, despite the fact that the economy still hasn't recovered to the extent that he and other americans would like to have seen at this point. so there is certainly a lot riding on this speech but right now, the president, according to his aides, is

he falls in four sets to juan martin del potro. >>> i'm randy scott. this has been your "sportscenter" update. have a great morning. >>> coming up next, "the pulse," this morning. and if you are what you wear, well, you want to get your hands on this digital shirt. >>> and the first lady plays it for laughs with a very timely top-ten list.

martin. mr.artin proceeded in two phases. first, he considered allegations and whether it one hundred 11th congress had violated miss water's -- miss waters' rights. they concluded that her due process rights had not been violated. the outside counselor then moved to the second phase of his review, as substantive of view of the -- review of the conduct of misses waters. -- representative waters. that review is now complete and we are attempting to reach a final conclusion on his recommendations and this matter in general. that is what brings us here today. everyone in the room understand where we are and why we are here. but me summarize the last several steps we have taken. after months of hard work by the outside counsel, his team and our staff, the committee has giving reason given careful scrutiny to the evidence. mr. martin made recommendations. this recommendation is that we should not -- there is not sufficient evidence in the record to prove violations by a clear standard which is necessa

>> well, look, martin, good afternoon.here's no doubt that the obama campaign thinks that these two states are incredibly important. president obama has visited colorado eight times this year, including once when he went in the wake of the aurora shooting. he has visited nevada six times this year so far. the obama campaign has sort of mapped out five different paths to the white house. one of those paths runs right through the west and includes colorado and nevada, so these are critical states. they have set up a big ground game in both of these states. having said that, officials also say that ohio, virginia, and florida are the game over states. so you are seeing sort of a full press effort in those states. vice president biden has been focusing on ohio like a laser. fortunatelier president clinton is in florida as we speak and the first lady is heading to virginia on thursday. of course, president obama has been making multiple stops at all of those states. so i think colorado and nevada are certainly important. are th

he picked out the gun that was used to kill trayvon martin. this is where the zimmermans went to hide for 30 days, when they feared for their lives, and had conversations about what took place. we are going to deliver information tomorrow that people have not heard. >> and you also will be talking to trayvon martin's stepmother, alicia? >> she is there and she confronts these people in some of the accusations they make about her stepson trayvon. then friday i sit down with trayvon's mother, father and older brother. it is one of the most difficult interviews i have ever done. i'm sitting there as a parent thinking but for the grace of god go i. so tuesday we hear the george zimmerman side of this story and friday we talked to the parents of trayvon martin to find out what their reaction is to what he said, and what they are going through right now, as they try to put their lives back together. >> going to be a riveting show, because this story has torn this country apart. the next show the soccer mom, tell me about this. >> the question is, is

. >> among the speakers last night was maryland governor martin o'malley. he was given a prime time window to make his case for a second term for barack obama. jennifer franciotti has more on the governor's speech. >> the governor talked a lot about moving america forward. governor martin o'malley walked out on stage to a cheering crowd at the convention. the governor spoke to the convention, telling the crowd that america needs to move forward by electing president obama for another term. >> maryland always chooses to move forward. we understand that progress is a choice. job creation is a choice. whether we move forward or back, this, too, is a choice and that is what this election is all about. >> our political analyst will talk about the grade that he gave o'malley's speech, coming upp. >> another woman has come forward in the sexual harassment case against john leopold. carla sagerholm was on leave because of what she called a toxic environment in the office . she said it records were destroyed to avoid being subpoenaed. she claimed she had to indoor s

martin luther king jr. spoke truth to power to the day he died between 1965 to 1968 like his biographer said he literally becomes a pillar of fire talking against the vietnam war talking about political and economic inequality and talking about the triple threats of militarism, materialism and racism on the body politics. 44 years after martin luther king jr.'s death, those threats remain. we think that the new jim-crow on one level we think about michele alexander's best-selling book about mass incarceration and the african-american community. what i want to do today is extend that metaphor beyond just incarceration. we are going to dhaka but incarceration today but i want to expend that to public schools, to racial, political and economic inequality to the death of trayvon martin sheeran harlem to the issues of police brutality to our foreign policy and the drone that checks against innocent globalist. i want to extend the metaphor of the new jim crow to the new tax on the voting rights for african-americ

john martin is truly a partner. he acknowledged his priority regarding excellent equipment, training, and infrastructure. but he sort of downplayed that. he has been, like our mayor, a huge champion of public safety. it is an honor to stand with both of you today, evidenced by this facility, which will add to an already top of the line fire department facility at the airport. what you see here will enhance our ability to respond to water- related emergencies that much quicker. it is cutting edge, just like everything provided by the airport. the san francisco fire department operates three stations here. we are solely responsible for emergency incidents in and around the airport. many of the members of the san francisco fire department assigned to the airport are here today. i thank you for your dedication and professionalism. there are a lot of people think. we are very proud to be standing here today and cutting the ribbon. it will be a facility that we will use often. hopefully primarily for training, but we will

watch george simer man shot and killed martin. simer man says martin tried to grab the guns and claiming self-defense. not provide information on whether martin had touched the gun's holster. zimmerman is charged with second-degree murders and currently out on bail. >>> a new report invails arsenic in rice in children. tom vacar reports consumer groups today urge the federal fwovt to set standards for the carcinogens. >>> it's the very beginning of california's commercial rice harvest. now a 100-year-old $2 billion year industry employed 25,000 people. it's the water that contains the arsenic, kind used in pesticide that feeds it into the rice presenting a risk potentially a long-term cancer risk. after finding significant levels of arsenic in samples of rice and foods containing rice, consumer efforts wants the u.s. drug administration to set safety limits. >> the consumer report studies showing the amount of arsenic in rice is certainly a wakeup call. >> though consumer reports says it wants to inform and not alarm it also wants

martin, don't smoosh. >> i wouldn't do that. it's monday, september 17th, and something is rotten in the romney campaign. >>> a manic monday for mitt. >> i thought the most damning quote in the politico fees was what the romney campaign most desperately needs a guy to come from from bain. >> republicans are baffle romney hasn't a better organized campaign. >> has there been a single ad on anything about what mitt romney would actually do as president apart from he promises to -- >> if we put those in place we'll add 12 million jobs. >> what does mitt wear to job? >> i think the best answer is as little as possible. >> don't panic just yet, at lease you have this guy. >> okay. and why now are you supporting mitt? >> what is your question? >> why are you supporting mitt romney? >> it's actually a funny story. i lost a basketball game. ♪ >> we begin this afternoon with a flurry of activity on the campaign trail. as you might expect, with just 50 days left until the election and with early voting already under way in the key state o

you can't, martin. and, of course, that's the big problem.where mitt romney's arithmetic doesn't add up. but, look, no one should be surprised. i mean, julian epstein said in your previous segment, this is someone who will say anything that might contradict with anything else he said depending on the audience he's speaking to. just within hours after leaving the impression on "meet the press" that he, in fact, would kelace that was adopted under obama care, we found out from his campaign that that wasn't true at all. that, in fact, he would just go back to the law as it existed before obama care. he's not really serious about covering people with pre-existing conditions. >> brad, would you mind referring to it as the affordable care act as opposed to the terp that's used by many republicans. romney was asked about medicare as well. take a list be to his answer. >> let them either buy current medicare or to have a private plan a lot like medicare advantage today. i like medicare advantage. >> how do you drive down prices, governor? >> it sure

martin, is netanyahu going to attack iran? >> famous last words, but i don't think so in the next couple of months before the election. since we get into 2013, either an israeli or american attack seem to me more likely unless the iranians make a strategic decision to give up their nuclear weapons. >> why has the rhetoric from israel gotten harder in the last few weeks? >> because i think that the two things happening -- number one, the iranian nuclear program continues, notwithstanding sanctions, crippling sanctions, and an effort at negotiations. they're moving closer to the threshold. that makes the israelis more and more nervous. and they're adding to that this rhetoric of annihilating israel. so any israeli prime minister has to be nervous about that situation. there's potentially a window of opportunity before our election that would jam the president to be fully behind israel. i think he'd be behind it anyway. there may be a calculation there. beyond that, there's also the sense that the israelis have that the more that

a wisdom martin. >> guess what time it is. >> talk with tucker. >> good morning. -- i'm wisdom martin. >> let's get started with a look at our rod arrest. it is warm and humid outside. we'll top out in the 80s this afternoon. we have a few showers out in western maryland this morning. we'll track those. that is actually associated with a cool front, not avery strong one. i think later tonight, the air will cool off a little bit and start to dry out. improvement is on the way. we do have some relief in sight. we do have more details including the all important seven-day forecast coming up in just a few minutes. back to you. >> it is day two of the democratic national convention. vice president joe biden and former president bill clinton are the head line speakers. >> last night, first lady michelle obama and a rising star in the party had key speeches. we have a report. >> reporter: every day, the people i meet inspire me. every day, they make me proud. every day, they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth. >> reporter: the first lady also appealed to mid

with clint bowyer in third, martin truex and mark martin, all three cars in the top ten, i tell you, what i like watching sam hornish on the track. he's looked good, all of the problems with heat shields falling off, able to overcome that. we talked yesterday during the nationwide show how we thought that sam hornish out of the 22 was a real topheral move next year, sam has been doing so well. he's a company guy for team penske, i don't agree with the decision of taking sam out and putting joey logano in. although joey logano is a good driver but sam is getting so good and so particular and wants so it bad and i hated to see mr. penske made this decision. i think it was the wrong decision. >> we're not halfway so not an official event. we'll have more from hopefully what will become a dry racetrack after a word from our abc stations. don't go anywhere. >> rain has made an appearance in richmond. got us off to about a 90-minute delay here this evening and race number 26 of the season. jeff gordon started second. that has fallen back. he's one of the guys who desperately needs a win if

>> no, and, martin, i don't.e i think about it, the more i believe that he has to be worth more than $250 million. >> why? >> two reasons. first of all, he came into private equity at the same time that some of the pioneers of private equity got going. people like steve schwartzman, people worth billions of dollars. why when mitt romney was funder of his firm, like steve schwartzman, also not be worth more than 25 $250 million. when you back into the fact of the nest egg he must have had -- >> for the period of 2011. >> even if he got a 3% yield on his portfolio, that would make his nest egg that was earning that money $450 million. so to me for him to say he only is net worth is 250 is completely disingenuous. how can the rest of his net worth be only $1 r50 milli$150 . he should be like where his peer group is. >> you think he's worth half a billion dollars or more. >> i think he's hiding something and i don't have any proof of that, but my gut tells me he's hiding something. >> allyjulian, mitt romney obviy wa

certainly i'm not, i don't think martin is.'re doing is kind of looking at the anatomy of what's going on here. you're absolutely right. he paid more than he had to pay. now, he himself, as martin said, said he did so so he could ratchet up that rate that he wanted, and so be it. i think the economic question is why -- not does mitt romney or barack obama or anybody -- why are people whose incomes are $14 million a year paying the same effective tax rate as middle income people? the only possible justification for that would be if for some reason all that investment income led to a lot more growth or more jobs or -- >> spending, spending. >> but it doesn't zwrp. >> i don't disagree with you. i don't disagree with you. look, i'll be the first to admit that the tax code is not fair. i will be the first to admit to you. >> good. thank you. >> i think even mitt romney would say this, that the tax code -- >> i don't think he wants to fix it. >> okay. well, gentlemen, gentlemen, i'm afraid -- i'm so sorry. we have run out of time, bu

i was there, martin, i was there in 2009, when the president took office. the economy was absolutely cratering, a 9% gdp loss in the fourth quarter of 2008. okay. that's four years ago. the economy has been expanding since the second half of 2009. i was there when we lost 2 million jobs in the first quarter of 2009. we've been adding jobs now for 29 months. i was there when the housing market wasn't carving out a bottom the way it is now, but taking a new leg down month after month with more and more foreclosures, when the auto companies were looking at certain lick questionedation if they followed a governor writing op-eds saying let them go bankrupt. i saw this happen. anyone who thinks this economy looks like that economy is deeply out of touch. >> okay. first person testimony there from jared. ari, as we take a look at the drop in unemployment since 2009, is it real possible that mitt romney believes americans would like to go back to the way things were when george w. bush left office? >> that's the question, right? there is sort of a big debate here a
