mr. powell, she allowed the children to come in and as soon as the children came in, apparently he closed door in a way that prevented her from entering this building. she tried to get back in, there was no answer, no reply. she also began to smell gas. what kind of gas, i don't know. all i know is that she reported a smell of gas and then moments to minutes later this house exploded and she was calling her supervisors to report the situation. >> my goodness, so she was still in the proximity, she was still close to that property and she miraculously escaped any kind of injury? >> yep, that's absolutely correct. very miraculous and good for her. >> and we're looking at the images still and when we had a wider view, we could see another property nearby. as far as you can tell us, no other properties have been involved in this? >> yeah, we have no other damage on any other property. we had been four engines here initially, four, five engines, a ladder truck and they -- it is obviously a defensive fire fight on the house itself and so, you know, a lot of our focus initially goes directly to

tipped off to his eagerness to retire at the end of his term, mrs. powell knew exactly what buttons to push. were he to leave office, in the spring of 1793, she told washington, it would give joy to the constitution's bitter foes, ambition had been the moving spring of all of your actions seen by your career was glorious, with profound address withdrawn yourself from a station that promised nothing to your ambition and that might eventually involve your popularity. you love philosophic retirement she told washington, convinced the world that you're a practical philosopher and your native philanthropy caused to relinquish something so substantial to your happiness. the rest as they say is history. washington reluctantly continued to stand for a second term. it was a sullen chief executive who delivered the shortest inaugural address on record in march of 1793. washington challenged his detractors to prove and punish any constitutional infractions on his part. if his first term had been dominated by hamilton's economic program at home, his second term was to

mr. powell is the subject of that investigation, and that's the concern that the department has. >> reporterhat round and lost the ones that followed, including the very last one. the final defeat just last week when the judge ordered that the boys would stay with the coxes at least six more months. >> so you got that favorable ruling. >> favorable ruling. a very good day except josh is still not arrested. our daughter is still missing. >> reporter: but those facts might have changed, too, with a second ruling from the judge that day, she ordered josh powell to undergo a psychosexual evaluation. why? because according to utah investigators, some images had been found on a computer in his home back in 2009, the year susan disappeared. >> it was cartoons, a cartoon and animation are of adults and kids having sex. >> reporter: and josh's evaluation was to include a polygraph test, a lie detector. >> he had lost the custody of the kids. he had to undergo a lie detector. what's he going to tell them? if they ask about susan, with a lie detector -- >> which they would have. >> which they would hav

powell replied without missing a beat, mr. mr. aker, i have ab in both hands, and i'm going to throw them right away. rayburn burst into laughter, and powell recalls this was the beginning of a good friendship between the two men. but most famously throughout his career powell pushed something, an anti-discrimination writer that became known as the powell amendment, and he tacked this onto as many be pieces of legislation as he could. it was eventually included in the 1964 civil rights act, and it aimed to prohibit the use of federal funds by institutions or businesses that practiced vim nation. discrimination. powell also routinely confronted segregationists on capitol hill, and i want to give you one example. there was a very senior member from the mississippi delegation who called powell's election to the house a disgrace. and he publicized his intention to avoid sitting next to an african-american man on the house floor. well, if you know anything about adam clayton powell, this only prompted him to act decisively. he responded

mr. powell but also from his father who is in jail there to see, was there any communication about this and did anybody else know. >> there was some stuff that had come out recently that we're hearing about that the children had apparently started to talk a little bit more about the night that their mother apparently disappeared. >> and there is a theory among investigators. just a theory at this point that they may have gotten past the age where they could keep secrets and more of in information might slip out or they might realize more of what they knew about the disappearance of their mother. >> when you look at this case and where it is going, do we know what the grandfather is saying? >> no. i don't. i mean, he's in prison because of the results of the search warrant of the house showed that he had taken photographs of local children on the street but also was in possession of what the authorities are saying was child pornography and that was the driving reason that they said the children shouldn't be in the house because that was his house. >> how much objection was this to having the

mr. powell knew what had happened to his son and what had happened to his two grandsons.d that he only shouted at them that he became very uncooperative and that now he is in suicide -- on suicide watch. he is in custody being held on 14 counts of voyeurism and also possessing child pornography. >> this is just a terrible story, just a big mess overall. josh powell, i understand, sent an e-mail to his lawyer and to his cousin before he set the fire. what did he say about what he was going to do? >> reporter: sheriff's investigators say that that offers a glimpse into what this man was thinking. they say that he knew exactly what he was going to do. in the e-mail that he sent to his attorney he only said i'm sorry. good-bye. and then he also sent an e-mail to a cousin of his in texas that said the same thing. the cousin received the e-mail instantaneously right as that home exploded and the attorney opened his up about two hours after this terrible tragedy. >> all right. thelma gutierrez, thank you. an awful, complicated story. thank you. >>> mitt romney had the winning ha

mr. chairman. ms. powell congratulations on your -- >> thank you. >> i have a concern, i'm a strong believer that this relationship between the united states and india is a critical one, but i am sure as you're aware in december i, along with other colleagues, sponsored legislation in the congress by amendment that the president, the the senate passed unanimously and the president signed into law with reference to comprehensive sanctions on the financial institutions of the central bank of iran. and i've been encouraged by the efforts of japan, the efforts of south korea and others to look for ways to come into compliance with the law. they've come to it even as they face challenges, obviously, in doing so. but they've come to it with the attitude of how do i meet these, the spirit of these sanctions and try to insure that we are not subject to any sanctions and that we are working not only with the united states, but the international community to insure iran does not achieve nuclear power. however, the indi

have to turn the gavel over shortly to be at a, and i appreciate appembassador powell understanding of that. >> thank you mr. chairman, let me join you in the concern you expressed about the events in egypt. i was startled, i should say shocked by the arrests and the detainment of 86 americans involved in attempting to work with citizens of egypt to promote democracy. i think that each one of us over the years who have been involved in delegations going to other countries, to monitor elections or to assist citizens with the national democratic institute and republican institute and various other groups appointed by our officials know how much we cared about those countries and the follow through that we have shown. it's important, as the chairman pointed out, that given the status of the egyptian economy and before that the status of the egyptian people in lacking adequate full supplies, that the united states is generous and eager to be helpful, but we are facing comments from our colleagues. we are wondering, given the deficit situation we have in our own country, how we can be considering a billion and a

mr. troyer. this is not cnn's reporting so i'm reading the information now from an e-mail that i've got -- there was an e-mail that went out supposedly from josh powell that said "i am sorry, good-bye," and as you were saying -- can you tell us about that? do you know anything about that? >> well, we have that e-mail. it's been forwarded to us as well. we're still investigating what the source of that e-mail is. there's nothing that tells us it wasn't from him and the probability is that it is. but we still have part of this fire burning. it burned so hot, they're still putting it out. our arson people are doing what they can but detectives are checking whether that e-mail came from him or not. the probability is that it is from him because what happened is exactly what happened here. this fire was intentionally set. and it burned very hot. worry we're lucky that nobody else was hurt, it is just unfortunate that the two boys were involved in this and he took them with him. >> i can imagine. as well as for viewers who were watching, it's been going on for a long time. police trying to figure out what happened with susan powell. there's also reporting

powell. he's upset how things are going but just wants to make his voice heard. >> i just feel like something has to be done. i don't know if i'm going to vote for mr. for him in the last election but i don't know if i can vote for him this time. i want to raise my daughter that you have to voice your opinion, you have to have a backbone and not be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. >> reporter: there's some history to this in michigan. last time in 2008 a surge of democrats and independents voting in the republican primary. i'm sorry, this was in 2000. they helped john mccain to victory over george w. bush. we'll see if history repeats itself here today. >> it will be a fascinating night, john, thank you so much. and michigan's economy, of course, had been hit harder than most states because of its dependence on the auto industry and manufacturing. jeffrey johnson was in flint and spoke to african-american voters about what matters to them this election year. >> reporter: as the birthplace of general motors, flint, michigan, has weathered the ups and downs of the american auto industry. when gm faced near death, so did flint. and now in th
