they left through oklahoma city and bought beer in oklahoma city, they asked directions to interstatest, and they ended up that next morning in ft. smith, arkansas. >> still in the yellow malibu? >> yes, sir. still in the yellow malibu with the primer spots on it. they ended up there about 2:00 in the morning, spent the rest of the morning up until about 10:00 or 10:30 at the sheraton in ft. smith, arkansas. on roger stres street. they spent the night and walked to the bus station. >> eventually police managed to track down the yellow getaway car, abandoned now. but by then, they were long gone. had hoped a bus to memphis. >> they spent three nights there drinking heavily. they lost about $1,000 while they were in the motel as a result of a cabbie bringing a couple of hookers to their room, and the hookers rolled them for about $1,000. >> and after memphis they wandered around southern louisiana looking for oil field work before hitch hiking to new orleans. there the two found jobs in a carnival, and ache took one a young woman named virginia ginger keefe. >> they hooked up with her,

>> guest: they assumed the oklahoma land rush into the country of oklahoma. >> host: early 20th century? >> guest: i am trying to think of the year. it would have been around just before that, the end of the nineteenth century. i always feel i grew up in the nineteenth century. i also get 1900s and 2,000s. when i talk about the 1700s i call it the seventeenth century. i have to be careful. we went from poverty, especially when i was a girl that poverty was really intense. we had a difficult life as a tribal nation into being economically stable. we now are doing really quite well. we have all categories of people who make different incomes so i can't say everybody is doing great. basically economically the tribal nation is doing really well and has scholarships for students in school. >> host: back to the original question, what are sooners? >> guest: people who wanted to get in the sitter and claim land. the land belonged to the indian people. >> host: in your book "the woman who watches over the world," you write i have concluded over the years that the two ways native and europeans a

east along the old route 66 where it snakes through oklahoma where his sister lives with demons of her own, a warning -- >> it was really true. it's not like some scary movie that you watch on tv or "csi," or whatever show it is you're watching. this really happened. >> yes, it all did. the unspeakable crimes. the strange, painful path toward punishment, and then could there ever be forgiveness? god knows that's what the father demanded. >> god knows all about us. there's not a secret crevice of our heart that he's not fully aware of. >> but could the son obey? >> god never expects of us that which we cannot do. god never demands of us what he does not empower. >> imagine now that it's 1979, a little place called okarche, oklahoma, a drive into oklahoma city as people were discovering then before it happened. >> okarche and a smaller

for what purpose does the gentleman y oklahoma -- from oklahoma rise? mr. lankford: i move that the house suspend the rules and pass hmpt r. 789. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the bill. the clerk: h.r. 789, a bill to designate the facility of the united states postal service located at 20 main street in little ferry, new jersey, as the serkt matthew j. fenton post office. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oklahoma, mr. lankford and a gentleman from illinois, mr. davis, each will control 20 minutes. mr. lankford: i ask that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. lankford: h.r. 89 would designate the facility of the united states postal service located at 20 main street in little ferry, new jersey, as the sergeant matthew j. fenton post office. sergeant fenton served as a united states marine, training fellow marines as a reserves inspector and instructor. tragically, on may 5, 2006, sernlt fenton passed aw

and the first act of the oklahoma legislature was to segregate the cars of oklahoma. >> will do discuss the relationship between thomas benton and john fremont in california and also may be brigham young in utah and the mormons? >> fremont i believe was a son-in-law so benton was the backer of fremont and a general in the united states army and a bit of a loose cannon and he probably wouldn't be -- the history books at all because there were efforts to court martial him. they don't ultimately affect the boundary. you asked about someone else crux brigham young was a mormon leader. he led the largest contingent from illinois to utah in 1847, 48 and envisioned the creation of a state which was headed been created it would have filled pretty much everything but california. congress wasn't going to let a state like that be created. they weren't happy about the size of california or texas, but texas and california created themselves. i don't have time to go into each one of those but they are in the books. but i will tell you interesting about brigham young and desert it he dispatched a morm

within the state of oklahoma? >> guest: well, i wouldn't want to break them. i did get a ticket once. [laughter] i had to pay it. i couldn't say, i'm sorry, i'm not a citizen. [laughter] >> host: again, how does that work with the sovereign nation? >> guest: we have the ability to make treaties with the government. we have the ability to negotiate with the other governments if we want to. we have the ability to be a country, our own country, and make our own decisions, and so that's basically how it works to be a sovereign nation. we are a country. we are our own nation. >> host: why did you call your memoir the woman who watches over the world? >> guest: it's based on this beautiful folklore art piece that i bought in the museum in california at the folk art museum, and it was a woman sort of flying, and she had the earth in her hand, and it looked like a pumpkin, but you can see the outline of the united states and south america and other continents on it, and i fell in love with her, and -- but i love folk art.

we haven't had a miss oklahoma that's indian for a while.o i stand up, and i said -- [speaking in native tongue] charlie asked me to give you a typical indian greeting, i didn't know if he meant the kind that the dakota and cheyenne gave little customer at big horn. so i just said hi to you in my native language. [laughter] so, and i'll stop there because that was my big step on being able to stand in the front of a group dripping wet, no makeup and what makeup there was sliding down my face and still pull it together enough to talk. so having electricity go out this morning at 2:00, it was nothing compared to what i've been through in the past. [laughter] >> well, um, as miss oklahoma, um, suddenly you're thrust into the spotlight not only as a represent thetive of the state, but as we all though that with native people once we're put in the spotlight, we're suddenly asked to represent all native people. how did you balance that? i mean, how did you become an advocate for native people but without, you know, taking on that representative of

abc's matt gutman is in the heart of the heat, oklahoma city, where the temperature has been 100 or higher for almost every day this month. a good sweltering evening to you, matt. >> reporter: and to you, diane. this is camp shiloh, and like the rest of oklahoma city, it's staggering through its 23rd consecutive day of triple digit heat. but it feels hotter than that. check out this thermometer. it reads 125 degrees on the grass. and we heard it was so hot, that you could actually cook a steak on the dashboard of a car. so, we gave it a try, and in just a couple of moments, we'll show you what happened. the deadly heat that's batteteng the country's midsection has so far set or broken 1,000 records this month alone. it kicked up this towering dust storm in phoenix and left roads buckling on highways from texas all the way to minnesota. this camp is sweating through its 88th summer. c's chris bury spoke to its camp director. >> this is the hottest week on record here at the camp.

and we understand the water pipes are breaking in oklahoma citi city because the demands for water several mains have broken like this one. 12 inch pipe that burst and look on how the water is shooting up 40 feet in the air. maybe they can charge money and called it old faithful of oklahoma but they definitely need the water to stay cool. it will last throughout the rest of the week and cool weather will last a lot longer, too. once we get the heat out of wear >> live look from mount tamalpais looking down on sausalito, tiburon and belvedere but a nice deck of clouds for the rest of us, covering for downtown san francisco. maybe a little drizzle in those clouds especially along the coast. satellite will show it's clearing out quicker in some areas, especially the north bay, east bay valleys still seeing clouds, south bay cleared out right now and still some in the monterey bay. temperatures, even cooler than they were yesterday.

and that was when i became miss oklahoma. and to get there, of course, i had to -- you have to enter -- be a preliminary pageant winner and i didn't know much about pageants yet. and i went to phillips university and i see some of the guys over there, the males, a few of them sitting over there. they got gray hair. we're all so old. we remember bill cosby when he was young. [laughter] >> you know, and nell was a name taken from a bill cosby character i think patterned after joe namath after the shaving commercials and cutting themselves. these were a guy part of the young club. randy of the time we're going to spew on whatever we can and try to do something with the establishment. these guys, although they were an young club they were a club enough to have a representative in the pageant because it was a student activity and anyone could nominate people. and they called me up and nominated me and i go through some of the stories and stuff on that. the surprising part was that i won because i'd never been in a pageant before.

in oklahoma, you don't.son jerky. you ever make jerky? >> oh, wow. uh -- i have. but i've never vacuum sealed it in a zip lock. >> jimmy: that's what it looks like. would you like to try one? >> it looks like a skid mark, doesn't it? >> jimmy: no! [ laughter ] what are you talking about? >> it looks like a skid mark. >> jimmy: it looks like a tasty treat. it looks like a dog treat, is what it looks like. >> well, in that case, let's eat up. >> jimmy: you want a bud light lime? >> yeah, i do, as a matter of fact. [ cheers ] >> jimmy: here you go. eat up. [ laughter ] not bad. >> it's good. >> jimmy: pretty good. >> i have meat in my mouth as i'm drinking beer. >> jimmy: that's the way to do it, right? >> i guess. you still want to sit in my lap? >> jimmy: no, i don't want to sit in your lap. no. "the voice" is a giant hit. you saved the network, basically. are you happy about this? the best rates nbc's has had in 36 years. >> i like to do what i can. >> jimmy: since the cosby show. i'm so thankful to you and

when you, i repeat, come drink our water in oklahoma. i appreciate that you know, a key republican energy proposal is the national petroleum reserve alaska access act that will cut through bureaucratic red tape and unlock the full resources in the alaska natural petroleum reserve. by ensuring they are developed and transported in a timely and efficient matter but there are delays in accessing that from this administration. whether these are the result of government incompetence or ideological vendettas, the fact of the matter is they are costing american jobs and raising energy prices. the house has offered a clear path on job creation and economic recovery. that path is less taxation,less regulation, less government intervention and more economic certainty in the marketplace. the folks from kansas tole me numerous times about energy. and so i'd like to take an opportunity to recognize mr. huelskamp from kansas to talk about what's going on out there and that great american state's focus on american energy independence. i recognize the g

it was 102 yesterday in dallas. 104 in oklahoma city.ust to show you how unusual and historic this is, this is the number of 100-degree days so far. you xpkt phoenix and tus cson t have a bunch of them. austin, texas and oklahoma city have had more 100-degree days than vegas. this drought in texas, it justins to get worse and worse. the temperatures justin to be well above average. even this morning, it's 81 to start your morning in dallas. much of the country is very warm. we're 75 to start the morning in chicago. 77 in d.c. you walk out the door and you have the heat and feel it in the air. now right now, thunderstorms continue this morning in areas of kansas. that is the only travel trouble spot out there. interstate 70 is has a thunderstorm complex. today, a lot like yesterday. many areas will have a chance of afternoon storm but it will be hot in oklahoma and dallas. back to you. >>> more positive economic data. oil prices rise, and impressive honesty in austria. your first look at the business headlines is straight ahead. >>> disap

living in oklahoma is not. so i feel the same way you do. i feel there is a sense of isolation, that i have and always felt. but i do see what you mean. you break down the boundaries and how do you break through the borders. but, um, i notice that one thing is i'm home, and i'm one thing is i am home and i am homesick for my friends and for the community i have been in before. . Ãcf1 o cear-o cf1 o to themselves in this different ways. >> host: mary manning e-mails in if, as you write, do you need to spend time alone? is after a journalism career, i find being alone helps deeper thinking, especially writing in journals by hand. >> guest: yes. yes. and yes. because i also write in journals by hand, and i haven't been able to find my favorite kind of journal, and i finally found one yesterday here in washington, d.c., and i was thrilled. so i'm carrying an extra little weight in my backpack. [laughter] >> host: do you use a laptop? >> guest: um, i do have a laptop, but i always write by hand first. and so i have to themselves in e different wa

and that was when i became miss oklahoma. and to get their course, i had to -- you have to enter nba preliminary pageant winner. i see the guys over there. they have gray hair. we remember bill cosby when he was young, you know, and mail with a name that was taken from a bill cosby carried it is patterned after joe namath, cutting himself in doing staff. these regroup with guys. again, trained at the time are going to spew whatever we can and try to do some team with the ravishment. so although they were in hunt club, they were clever enough to have a representative in the pageant because it is the student activity and anyone could nominate people. i go through some of the stories and staff. the surprising part was that i won. they've never been in a pageant before and i have lots of help from people although for. but he did win. i fell down the steps walking up the steps. the guys that built the steps are here, so i better not say anything bad. they were elwell, the people aren't built wide enough to hold the chair in the cr

station websites in oklahoma city i'm guessing they maybe did. we want someone to want to know what you can like what it was like to know what we were going i asked all my friends to play at the exact same time like simultaneously we play like play rain or turn on the air conditioner that day and that i had better at it still than mark is in there we need to keep you playing some are now the real question is did governor palin's request for rain work that have people in the state given up praise to god to end this drought and i want to be debbie downer here but we checked the weather channel's forecast for oklahoma city and it's going to be one hundred or above for the next ten days and there is not a drop of rain in the forecast to get that power of prayer isn't working quite yet now i'm not here to criticize those who are people of faith who pray because that's absolutely right and that's their decision to do so but can we not draw a line when it comes to the government calling for its if you remember governor mary fallin is not the first ball

for what purpose does the gentleman from oklahoma rise? >> i have an amendment at the desk, amendment number 4. the chair: the clerk will redesignate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 4, printed in the congressional record offered by the gentleman from oklahoma. the chair: the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized for five minutes. mr. cole: in april, a draft executive order was circulated that would require all companies bidding on federal contracts to disclose all federal campaign contributions. if enacted, this executive order would effectively politicize the federal procurement process in my opinion. companies wouldn't be merely judged by the merits of their past performance, by their capability to do the job but would be considered on the basis of who they gave money to or against. this would clearly chill the constitutionally protected right to donate to particular parties, candidates and causes of one's choice and i think, frankly, that's exactly what the executive order -- proposed executive order is intended to do. my ame

so they backed away from that and simply core yet of oklahoma and the first act as the oklahoma legislature was to segregate the cars of oklahoma. >> you discuss your relationship with thomas benton and john fremont in california and also may be brigham young in utah and the mormons? >> ho i think it was his son-in-law, fremont, so benton was a backer of fremont was a general in the united states army and the mexican war ended a loose cannon and he probably wouldn't in history books at all because there were efforts to court martial him. i don't precede him deutsch in this book they don't affect the boundary. you asked about someone else? >> brigham young. >> brigham young was a mormon leader. he led the largest contingent from the illinois to utah in 184748. he envisioned a creation of the state which was headed in created it would have felt pretty much everything that california congress wasn't going to let a state like that be created. they were not happy about the size of california or texas. but texas and california creed themselves i don't have time to go into each of those but they a

oklahoma city, 106. 99 in chicago. and while it seems to be going nowhere, this heat, it is, in fact, slowly sliding east, which is why the map, literally the map, has been in the headlines almost everywhere. hot colors we're not used to seeing. triple digit temperatures likely ahead for new york, philadelphia, washington. with 27 states in some sort of heat advisory, the almost predictable heat related casualties in the neighborhood of two dozen deaths so far. there is, at least, some help available in many places. there are cooling centers and water on offer outside the salvation army in lafayette, indiana. >> peoeoe may have other ways coming off. a two-hour shopping trip at the mall or sitting at the library, going to a bookstore. >> reporter: and tonight, they were handing out water at the cubs game in chicago, after that twins game in minneapolis a few days back where people were developing like missed fly balls. see this? a tv cameraman found this shot of flowers in the breeze news worthy because what's desperat

they did it by joining oklahoma gas and electric smart meter program.smart meters beam your energy usage to the power company and to you in realtime, so you can see how much power you're using and what it's costing. >> now a customer knows what's driving their energy bill, what's driving their energy cost. >> reporter: the second piece of the program is a two-tiered pricing system, where you pay more during peak hours but get a discount at lower-usage times. in oklahoma, peak hours are 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. because that's when the sun beats down the hardest. so, at roots market they've tweaked their routine to use less energy at that time. >> we change the hours that we stock, actually. we don't open any refrigeratoror or freezers for large-scale stocking during the hours. >> reporter: they saved so much at their business that they wanted to try to save at home too. >> at my home, the savings are much more impressive. i'm going to tell you that i save 4 4 on my electric bill at home. >> reporter: with strategies like precooling their house by cranking the a

carry lots of economic benefits for the states as well existing drone projects could be moved to oklahoma and setting up a headquarters if you will brings more workers and their families to the state as well or couldn't theory and aerospace analysts are projecting that fifteen thousand drones will be used within the u.s. by the year two thousand and eighteen that's just with in the u s considering that it's only a few years away from now it puts the whole push for drone production approach into perspective and on a larger scale it proves that drones are inevitably going to be incorporated into the growing domestic production for military equipment and increasingly used domestically yes despite the fact that the topic of drones has been wide a contentious one. in recent years the u.s. government has made it clear they're sticking with the u.a.b. route who cares if it's the reason we've killed hundreds of civilians in other countries who cares if there are still lots of legal questions surrounding their use if they're bringing in money and offer up a cheaper alternative to current methods t

for 47 straight days, temperatures in oklahoma city have been 90 or more. there's one day below 100 so far this month, and it's expected to be 100 degrees or more through at least friday. this summer's searing heat is setting new standards. this month alone, high temperature records have been tied or broken over 800 times. a half-dozen cities not only broke records for a particular day, but set all-time highs since records have been kept. >> never in my life have i seen it this dry. >> reporter: extremely dry weather has been blamed on fires that have already burned five million acres in the southwest so far this summer. this is the driest start of the year ever in new mexico. the drought monitor released showed 29% of the country in drought-- 12% in the country in exceptional drought, the largest extent on report. three-quarters of texas is in that exceptional drought, 40% of oklahoma as well, a 10% rise in just one week-- which means tough times for plants and animals. >> it's a tough year. i mean, for all crops involved, you know, there will probably be

from oklahoma city to dallas. and this will be the 24th day in a row, for dallas to be 100 degrees-plus. they're going one after another. that's going to continue all week. we're cooler today in new york city. that's more like it. from d.c. southwards, we still have the heat. once the showers and the storms come late today, you'll get your relief. and tomorrow should be a little better. as far as today's forecast, carry an umbrella. it's the afternoon pop-up showers or storms that will hit. that will be from new york city, to baltimore, oerd. we're dry in the middle of the country, if you want great weather, minneapolis from wisconsin to chicago. the heat builds on tuesday and then should cool off a little bit. the heat's not over with. but we're not seeing historical heat like we did last week. >> that's a relief in some aspects. thank you. >>> how no debt deal is affecting markets. what ipo to look for on wall street. and what not to do when you think you've been sold is a lemon.

that gap is now the panhandle of oklahoma. and what does that have to do with the northern border of iowa? by creating this baseline at 37 degrees whether intentionally or not i can't tell you because stephen douglas never spoke treacly to what his intentions were but what evolves over the the coming years were eight years prairie states with six ackley three degrees a tight. kansas, nebraska, north dakota and south dakota and just to the west using the st baseline mountainous states, less good for a culture with 4 degrees of height, color river, wyoming and montana. if you look at i love it has almost exactly 3 degrees of height. more to the point what we see here is a jefferson's vision of the states being created from a mathematical finally emerged

the number here in oklahoma city, three degrees shy of the all-time record. we're looking at temperatures remaining on the hot side here throughout the south plains well into early next week. >> and justin, you told me this heat moves eastward as we begin the week. >> reporter: yeah, the core of the heat now is slicing eastbound into the tennessee valley, northbound into the ohio valley. cities like cincinnati and nashville, tennessee, likely to get in on the heat indices pushing 110 degrees outside monday afternoon. >> and you say the real relief comes midweek, but with it, some severe weather? >> reporter: powerful thunderstorms across the middle atlantic states later on this week. the core of the heat suppressed. so, the northeast escapes the major heat wave. but from the south plains into the tennessee valley, look for these blistering hot temperatures to continue throw throughout the dur case of the week. >> all right, we'll be watching. justin polvick, thanks to you. >>> we turn overseas now to the sunday paper that delivered its final edition, and we m

over to get his team and i say we should remember that back in oklahoma city imagine ninety five when it was a huge government which had to rest there with every level of pollution which it must be the workers i'm a terrorist and it turned out to work a very large and permanent and what a shame and. so with the proviso that we that we should don't rule out now because abilities are most likely explanation is obviously there are always political number one and you were an attack on it and i think really for two is one of those involvements and the other is perhaps if there is a stretch it could on the whole hurt an islamic group they might signal ways or so help them. think about a place all around them. was targets of terrorist attacks over the years and even make quite dramatic attack on a prime minister's office. home. of members of his going to court and you couldn't necessarily have had such an effect in one little carousel perhaps in a council religious bigotry still for a long time and like any no in order to norwegians in violence with the mouse and snarls spray from around the
