mr. king, for 60 minutes. mr. king: thank you, mr. speaker. i listened with interest to the presentations made here in the previous hour and a couple of visuals there on the poster, something i want to take a good look at and commit some of that to memory. i heard from ms. kaptur that this is not a partisan issue, it's an economic issue and an american issue and i agree. i have been troubled for some time about not just the influence that comes out of goldman sachs but the influence out of wall street that seems to -- here's my concern and here's how it was internalized. i live much of my life watching from a distance what was going on on wall street. i believe that as those investors and bankers sat down there and began to trade on the streets of wall street and began to build the edifices that exist there today, so very close to ground zero, that they were the keepers of the free enterprise flame in america. i had great trust that they were the ones that understood from the top down, from th

mr. king. mr. king is indicating to me he came in from over here. we had noticed a car parked off the side of the road here this morning. we were in the process of sending some officers over to identify that car because we knew it was in the area, however we had gotten a phone call before we checked that vehicle out and immediately transferred our attention to getting officers to the location which they couldn't tell us exactly where he was. so we used the seminole county alert helicopter to conduct an orbit of the area based on what the cell phone was telling us. mr. king himself climbed a tree and was able to throw toilet paper on top of the three back and forth in order to give us a location so the helicopter pilots could see where he was at. once they located they completed a real tight orbit until the seven members -- the emergency response team reached his location and found nadia. nadia is in good condition. she has insect bites from head to toe. no shoes. the paramedic noted that she h

mr. king he came out. >> it's the happy, content mom there. mr. king says he hopes to be able to see the family again and nadia even hinted she would invite him to her pizza party. nice ending there. >>> this next story is truly a maze and go an inspiration. 16-year-old matt winner lost his leg almost two years ago. now he's back playing the game he loves: baseball. we'll meet this courageous young man, coming up.

but also, i was one of the women, along with mrs. king and mrs. abernathy, seated on the platform, but you know, we tried very hard to get the opportunity to have a woman speak. and byron reston, who was the executive for the program, said, of course, there were women members of all of the organizations -- the unions, the churches, all of the different organizations which were represented. and so women were represented. it was hard to convince him, and we didn't convince him, that while we were pleased to hear their male heads, but we wanted not me but any woman. and we had (unintelligible) a whole long list of who could speak and have a voice of a woman. but one of the things i'll never forget is that the only voice we could hear of a woman that day was mahalia jackson singing the national anthem. but the women nevertheless -- we took our seats, but i don't think that would ever happen again. c-span: what -- what was the import -- talk to someone who's 20 years old today and tell them the importance of 1963 and that march. what -- did anything ch

and then finally mr. king found me.ever happened to me. >> tell me about that moment when mr. king found you. >> well, i was really excited because i was like super dehydrated and i hadn't had anything to eat for two days because on the first and second day, i ate these plants which were spongey and they had water in them. but mr. king gave me some trail mix and some water. and i was glad that i was finally going to see my own family. >> and i bet they were glad. let me ask you, tanya, mom to mom, what were those days like for you? >> they were the hardest four days i've ever experienced. we had a lot of support from our community and a lot of support from our church. and it helped us get it through, but they were the hardest days i've ever went through. >> jeff, were you surprised that nadia was as resourceful and as fearless as she was? >> in some ways, yes. she's always been an amazing kid, but i had no idea that she would use her resources in this way to brave that sort of, you know, terrain and time and just lack o

at the age of 93, as she celebrated the life of mrs. king, she might have been talking about her own. >> there are some people who live their lives not just for themselves alone, but for others. >> reporter: and she had a message for the generations that followed the pioneers of the civil rights movement. >> many times when people are going through open doors now, i wish they could hear the stories of how those doors got opened. >> reporter: dorothy height opened doors for thousands. for four decades, she was president of the national council of negro women. she helped organize freedom schools in mississippi at the height of the battle over segregation in the south, bringing women of different races and backgrounds together for what became known as wednesdays in mississippi. she knew and worked with figures such as rosa parks, whose defiance sparked the montgomery bus boycott. >> it was as if she could hear a soft voice say to her, rosa parks, you are a child of god. you can make a difference. i think she would want to say that there's a lot

but scapegoat mr. king has never created a great nation or strong economy and there are nations that try to protect themselves and cheat and there is no question if there was somehow magically to keep other people's goods in but to allow our goods to go out everybody before that, some nations try to pull that off, we have to make sure they can't get away with it. one thing is for sure. people watch america too closely for people to think we can keep foreign goods out -- >> the think it is fair when you hear from some in the tea party that president obama is a socialist? do you think that is a fair description? >> i don't choose to use that term to apply to the president for people i disagree with. it is obviously an incendiary term in a lot of respects. i do think there are those in his party and i can't speak for the president himself, who would like to see a health care system like the socialized medicine system that exists in europe. the president may as well for all i know. that in my view would be very

so i look up and say i'm mr. king and i'm your customer. the jury is about to tell you that she's not really a server at all, that she's study psychology at the community college, and is just doing this because she's forced to do this, which you know sort of really does things to the appetite. >> it does. >> bob bob? >> well, first of all, i think you're being ingrates a little bit here because you're complaining about somebody who actually shows up at your table. quite frankly, i'll take bad service over no service, which is what you get these days, whether it's in restaurants. or time to call an 800 number. when it comes time to frankly complain to a news medium about anybody. service is almost nonexistent. and if it is, something some technical company will say we'll be there within an eight hour window. i make the joke about comcast taking over nbc, where their programming grids are going to be that next program will be on the air sometime within a four hour window on friday night. >> i didn't know there was anything worth watching on c

. >> finally mr. king found me. and that was the greatest things that ever happened to me. the scariest thing i saw, is when it became night and i was afraid they would never find me. like i didn't see anything scary, but i felt scared. >> absolutely, you can understand that. nadia was hungry and dehydrated but was found to be okay when she buzz was taken to the hospital. >> nadia says the next time she goes out exploring, she will tell her parents first. >>> and there's a feline virus going around. it can spread among cats for 30 days or more. the shelter is immediately vaccinating any cats that that are brought to it. but the society is asking for anyone who finds stray cats to hold on to them before bringing them in. >>> mortgage fraud in maryland was the sixth worse in the nation last year. the state has 36% more reported fraud than the national average. inflated appraisal was among the problems. florida was second followed by new york. the study comes from the mortgage research institute. >>> republicans blocked efforts on over hauling the regulatory system. joel brown

mr. king: i thank the chairman. i just want to make this point that, i wouldn't rise here today and take this position here today if, since 1917 or even the last 50 years, if the practice of education and government in puerto rico had been the unifying common language, we would be unified as a people. let's start that and have this discussion in a generation and i would yield back. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. who seeks recognition? the gentleman from washington state is recognized. mr. hastings: i inquire of my colleagues how many more speakers they have on their side, how many more, if i may, mr. chairman? ms. velazquez: i have two. mr. hastings: you have two. ok. mr. sablan: i have one speaker and then we'll close. mr. hastings: at this time, marriage, i'm pleased to yield to mr. cantor. the chair: the gentleman from virginia is recognized for three minutes. mr. cantor: thank you, mr. chairman. i thank the gentleman from washington. mr. chairman, for 93 years individuals born in puerto rico have b

mr. king you say that you send 100% of your kids to college, a lot of people don't believe it. >> right. >> sometimes for their purposes, you have to introduce them to the world. >> need to see proof. >> this is a lot of proof. >> on this wall, every time a student is admitted to college we take their admission letter, copy it and put it up on the wall in the school. >> people see results. they're going to say, 100% of your seniors going on to college. you must pick the kids. you can't be a public school. >> yeah. we get that a lot. people tell us all the time, oh, you're a selective enrollment school. we're not. we're public school. we're a charter school. we're publicly funded and don't select our students based on criter criteria. >> you have a striped tie on. what does that mean? >> this means i've been accepted into four year college or yurt. >> which schools? >> i've been accepted to 13. >> 13? tell me about inglewood. >> this here is a tough community. >> you hear that, people? it's cri

mr. king: thank you, madam speaker. i appreciate your indulgence this evening and the opportunity to address you here on the floor of the house. not having had the opportunity to listen to the dialogue of my previous people, i'll take this up where the front of my mind and conscience happens to be. that is what is happening with and to america, what are our priorities, where are we going to go from here, presuming that we could actually reverse many of the things that have taken place over the last year and a half or longer. madam speaker, i ask your indulgence to cast your mind back into the last year and a half or so. this being april of 2010, in fact, i take us back into august and september of 2008. perhaps a little more than 18 months by now. and what we've seen happen is, we saw concern about the economic -- potential economic collapse of the free world. the fear that global currency and the confidence that allows us to trade in that currency could be -- could collapse and that we would see the free market economy

. >> thank you, mr. kinge furor over an adopted child returned to his homeland by an american mother who calls him psychotic or psychopathic. that's next.

mr. king: thank you, mr. speaker. i appreciate being recognized to address you here on the floor of the house. i remind you, mr. speaker, these deliberations here represent the most deliberative body in the world and that's the argument that we've made for years and even though it's not as deliberative as it was before speaker pelosi took the gavel we still have some discussion time down here. we still have special orders and 60 minutes and alternating hours between democrats and republicans, when both sides do show up for those alternating hours. tonight that's not the case. this is a wrapup and the finish of the week, mr. speaker. many have gone to the airport and caught a plane and gone home to their district or wherever they might go. but i don't think enough has been said yet this week, it's been a relatively short week, not a particularly trying or testing week with anything that stands out here of significant accomplishment. i'm watching still as policy moves in america. the policy that has been shoehorned thro

attached to los angeles, where robert kennedy was assassinated, to memphis necessarily water or to mr. king died and yet in dallas, there was a feeling among many letter writers that they were themselves ashamed and they felt very strongly that people in dallas would be blamed. one letter from a woman at midway and predicted most persons outside the state will bitterly feel that it could have only happened in texas. but in fact, for reading these letters, that feeling was widely shared a sense of shame across the nation. in strange ways, people felt, they try to get ahold of this event by looking at their own lives, a variety of cardinal fact or is he one man broke, i feel in some way could have been someone that follow. each night i used to pray for her has been to protect us with god's help. last night, i stayed out late, went to bed without saying my prayers. when i heard this about our great leader, i was so sorry i did not pray. this i will never do again. god help me. but the sense of acute responsibility that many folks from dallas and throughout taxes felt comes across very clearly

mr. king: mr. speaker, i move the house do now adjourn. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on the motion to adjourn. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the motion is agreed to. the motion is agreed to. according to the house, stands >> the bill adds to the president for his signature. live coverage of the u.s. house here on c-span. you're watching public affairs programming on c-span, created by america's cable-tv companies offered as a public service. in a few moment, president obama outlined his plans for nasa. after that, senator joe lieberman on a preliminary report. and later, a news conference with leaders of the tea party express from this year's congressional election. >> c-span, public affairs content available on television, radio, an online. the also connect with us on twitter, facebook, and youtube. >> president obama talked about the plan to cut back on planned missions to the moon, relying more on private companies to transport astronauts. he was at the kennedy space center and was introduced b

now, mr. king. i know when you say that you send 100% of your kids to college, a lot of people don't believe it. >> right, right. >> so sometimes, for their purposes, you've got to introduce them to the wall. >> got to see some proof. >> this is a lot of proof here. tell me what you're looking. >> on this wall, every time a student is admitted to college, we take their admission letter and copy it and put it up on the wall at school. >> people see your results and they're going to say, 100% of your seniors going on to college, you must pick the kids. you can't be a public school. >> we get that a lot. people tell us all the time, you're a selective enrollment school, that's some private school. but we're not, we're a public school. we're a charter school, which means we're independently operated, but we're publicly funded and don't select our students based on any criteria. >> this is urban prep and urban prep is an oasis, an opportunity for children to believe in themselves and dream beyond their c

a mortgage broker came and said, i know how to take care of that diivet a got, mrs. king. what we've do is rewrite your mortgage for you on your home. here she was on a fixed income as a retiree in our country trying to make ends meet, not a lot of retirement income. i this she may have worked -- i think she may have work inned thin -- ithink she may have wore postal department -- she worked in a library in chicago. obviously not making a lot of money, mr. president. so son a very fixed, narrow income as a retiree. that mortgage this guy sold to her ended up exploding on her within a matter of months to the point where it consumed 70% of her fixed income and she lost the home. here a woman who'd done everything right, her family right -- and that went on over and over again. and if you want to know why we're in the mess we're in, although things are getting better, it was dolores king's story repeated over and over and over and over and over again that caused the situation we're living in today. so when i say the root cause of what happened to us financially began in the l

king was killed and visiting the civil rights museum there. >> mr. smith, what about you? >> i would say one of my -- my first president -- go to plymouth notch, vermont. plymouth notch is a little town. there are six homes there now. there were six homes there in july 1872 when calvin coolidge was born there. the whole village is a museum. thank god, apparently through the coolidge family, it's been preserved. it's a wonderful way to step back in time and experience a very different america. you know, coolidge is a much more interesting character than he has often been portrayed and in fact one of the interesting things is i think post-reagan we're rediscovering the fact that there is an alternative to the new deal model of the presidency. >> you're a boston native, harvard graduate. >> nearby -- nearby boston. >> leominster? >> no, townsend, little town. >> oh, excuse me. >> four thousand people. >> harvard graduate, undergraduate degree, no doctorate degree. >> absolutely. >> and ph.d. from georgetown. >> yes. >> born in atlanta but grew up in ohio. >> grew up in rural

mr. kimbel. >> yes. that it is correct. >> he says that he disputes the quality is king, and is risk due to pressure from bankers. and, analysts and managing directors are continuing pitch by bankers, issuers and investors, whose views can color credit judgment and sometimes improving and sometimes degrading it and we drink the kool-aid, coupled with strong internal emphasis on market share, coupled with strong internal emphasis on market share, and margin focus, this does constitute a risk to ratings quality. that is his analysis. then he says, that i don't know if you follow what i was reading on page 2... continuing, analysts and mds are pitched by bankers, issuesers, investors, and this constitutes a risk to ratings quality. do you agree with that. >> as i had commented before, the observation that the -- our information sources all of -- oftentimes have points of view, whether issuers or investors, they are -- had the risk of causing us to think on the consensus bases with the market and we want to have independent views. so, i appreciate that chief credit officer is thinking about these issues. i appreciate

the blind censor is philosopher king, the first target they found were those who symbolized this diversity. it was women, minorities, and those who worked in culture. mr. ahmadinejad recently claimed and stated with regret that the iranians academia since the beginning of the last century had been secular and liberal. unfortunately, the republic has been unable to do anything about it. the first targets were women. they had been fighting for their rights since the 1800's. one of the first things that a totalitarian regime does in order to legitimize its confiscation of reality is to 1st confiscate history. in this country as well, those who want to impose their fundamentalist views upon the society, the first thing they do is confiscate history. the first thing they do is confiscate and redefine what it means to be an american or what it means to have a constitution. that is the first thing they do. history is used to justify what we do. what we were in the past will show us what we are now and what will be in the future. they produced the history of the nature of the debate reduced the history of an ancient country -- they reduced the history of an a

mr. mcdaniel. did that exhibit was put together by the chief credit officer; is that correct? >> yes, that is correct. he says that he disputes the qualities kingo the he says it is a risk due to the pressure from bankers. analysts to the managing directors are continuing the pitches i think as commissioners, investors at reasonable arguments whose views can cover the credit judgment sometimes improving it and sometimes degrading it. we drank the lead. a couple of strong internal emphasis on market share. coupled with strong internal emphasis on market share and margin focus this does constitute a risk of the ratings quality. >> that's his analysis. and then he says -- i don't know if you will follow what i was reading on page to continue and analysts are continually pitched by bankers, insurers, investors, continually that this would cause a risk to the ratings quality. do you agree with that? >> as i have commented before, the observation that our information sources oftentimes have points of view whether it is an shivers or investors. they are -- have the risk of causing us to think on a consensus basis with the market and we want to have in

mr. speaker, america's a nation founded on the rule of law and not the rule of men. that's why we have a constitution and not a king. law must apply to everybody and it must apply equally, regardless of race, color or creed. people don't get to pick and choose which laws are enforced. they don't get to decide which laws they like and which ones they don't. that would cause chaos. federal law requires people to sign the guest book when they enter our country. otherwise they're here illegally. there's a lot of fear mongering, political hype and misinformation about the state of arizona trying to legally protect itself from illegal entry into its state. arizona acts because washington is blissfully silent and sleeps. rather than join this rant, the white house should grant the request of border governors and send the national guard to the border to enforce the rule of law. after all, that is the government's job. and that's just the way it is. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado rise? mr. polis: mr. speaker, by the direction of the committ

king. i am so glad we had a special relationship. you are my pastor and you are my friend. as i leave you, mrs.ooks, i say to you that i remember the last sermon he preached last year at the greater new mount moriah church bingo the topic was entitled "it is your turn." little did i know how prophetic that message would be. it is your turn. when the lord called him home on last thursday, the words rang out in my years to let me know if it is my turn. it is your turn to go to another level. it is your turn to go to the next level. it is your turn, marc morial, to go higher. it is your turn, pat, to livft up the blood spattered banner. the soldiers of old are leaving here one by one. good night, dr. hooks. i will see you and in the morning. thank god for a job well done. he is a servant of god. weary of life and the battle is won. be not dismayed when the men a want to leave you for he will understand and say well done. when i come to the end of my journey, weary of life and the battle is won. carrying the cross of redemption, he will understand and say it will done. well of the u.n., my good and

king and converged to the point where it was similar to what was on the books. >> a 50% loss of power for the second mortgages with acid fallujah asian? >> yes. >> my time is expired mr. chairman. >> the gentleman from texas. >> i have no doubt that in this economy there is a lot of pain and misery that has taken place throughout and i'm still curious why we are examining a program that seemingly will bail out banks who made bad loans, people who may have purchased more, than they could afford yet someone who invested 100,401 agreed to increase $100,000 or no plan for them. somebody decided to rent their primary residence and invest money perhaps it a realistic investment trust of 100,000-dollar loss there is no program for them so i question the fairness of this particular approach and though they met 94% of americans who either own their home alfred, rental runs a current mortgage. be that as it may i heard of the germanic i say and others say they want to persuade you to modify mortgages. i know in that regard there is a member of carrots and sticks floating around here particularly one as having fha insures mortgages so the taxpayer takes the rest of you. surely

many times i've sat with the king when he was speaking with american officials, and he said, this remember very poignantly right before the iraq war, he said to the president, mrpresident, if you're going into iraq, and he already said he hoped he would not, please help me deal with one of the two problems on my borders. and he was referring to palestine in said that i need an active peace process. and again, this turmoil inside the country and a concern that the way israel will solve its palestinian problems will be a transfer of population. this will be aggravated by this recent decision and announcement in the last 48 hours of israeli actions on the west bank on expatriate's and others, anyone who does not have a resident per man, which i may talk about later. this raises prospectus of a population transfer. the keen is not his father -- the king is not his father. having said that he is, the son at least. but he is not his father. this is a poor 9 understanding his attitude. he did not lose jerusalem. he does not have the same stake. he has a strong commitment to the palestinian state because the state would solve the issue of jordan more emphatically than

mr. king, i know you say when you send 100% of your kids to college, a lot of people don't believe it. >> right. right. >> so sometimes, for their purposes, introduce them to the wall. >> you need to see proof, right? >> this is a lot of proof. tell me about this. >> every time a student is admitted to college, we take their admission letter, copy it and put it up on the wall on the school. >> people see your results and they're going to say, 100% of your seniors going on to college? you must pick the kids you can't be in public school. >> people tell us you're a selective enrollment school, that's a private school, but we're not. we're a public school. we're a charter school. we're publicly funded. we don't select our students based on any criteria. >> this is urban prep. and urban prep is an oasis. an opportunity for children to believe in themselves and dream beyond their circumstances. create an opportunity where there didn't seem to be one and go on to a four-year college. >>> none of our
