ralph hall, people's faces light up. i bet everybody in rock wall county has met ralph hall in fact, probably everybody in ralph's district has met ralph. because one of the things he was diligent about doing was making sure people in his district felt represented. since his election, he's worked tirelessly here in congress on a number of issues and i had the honor and privilege to serve on the house science, space, and technology committee with ralph, and one of the things i appreciated most about ralph, and i think most of us appreciated is ralph's sense of humor. that didn't stop him from asking very direct and grilling questions of witnesses that would come before our committee. sometimes there would be a tense moment. but ralph always had something funny or a story to tell that broke the ice. you've seen a number of members of the texas delegation here today, particularly the republican delegation and every thursday, we have lunch together. talk about what's good for texas. but what was always a thing that we always looked forward to, we couldn't wait until ralph got there so that we could -- ralph could share a funn

forward to, we couldn't wait until ralph got there so that we could -- ralph could share a funny story. and you know, one of the things that i'll miss most about ralphen he'd be on the floor or he would be at lunch, sharing those stories. now one of the things about ralph is that as he got older, he got wiser. and in fact he, got so wise, in 2004, he realized he needed to be a part of the republican party and so he switched from the democratic party to the republican party. we were so glad to welcome him to that. so as i said, it's been an honor and a privilege, ralph, to be part of your team on the science, space and technology committee. it's been a great honor to be one of your colleagues, but more importantly, ralph, we want to thank you for your friendship and kinship and most importantly your service to this great nation and to the state of texas. so with that, we say, ralph, job well done, god bless you and we ook forward to seing you soon. mr. barton: i thank the gentleman from lubbock. i now recognize the congressman from the 25th district of texas, mr. roger williams. under the newest configuration, he's the only congressman represent that

ralph i think i don't know. i think good people of ralph should think about it two it's not as simple you don't want a curb cut on ralph street but banning about when the buildings their garages on ralph street one of the problems i imagine the traffic is not residential homes on ralph street people passing through and cutting through on the way to mission i think one of the reasons they patios pass through it looks at inviting and part of the problem not on ralph there is blight so it looks like the street is witnesseder so, i mean one thought during the continuance with commissioner president wu it doesn't get narrow eras you get past the development if i put the garage on ralph street to match the sidewalk that it continues on mission street ralph street would not be an inviting street to drive down when you limit the amount of people you know like me who are looking to get to mission street and go down ralph street you without the possibility of parole if it felt more narrow and you have to go slow i hope those are the things we look at if it's on ralph street how to improve it there's an impact on full name street

ralph street i go back to my commissioners, i think from people passing through and urging ralph streets as a cross through a problem we want to get to this will help with the raised sidewalk and the bounlt which i courage you all to keep working on i think one question the ralph the sidewalk gets wider after the sidewalk is that because of the bulb out or it narrows and widened some more. >> about the same. >> so it's wider and the same wealthy your bulb outing with why not go the width and keep ralph's the same. >> one of the comments we got back from the neighborhood in our first neighborhood meeting when we initially approach to bulb out from the corner to match the northern end of the ralph street this was pretty strong opposition in the room to keep the roadway as wide as possible for as much of the street as possible once you get up into the northern part of the street it becomes fairly narrow you have more side swiping of cars and whatnot we're going to try to calm the traffic at the corner and come back. >> i mean he circle people to - i'm okay with this plan if you want to lessen the traffic but it will calm people and invite less people down the street i wouldn't mind seeing this all the way widen but compromise with the neighborhood i'm supportive

ralph menzes had been on death row 17 years. >> i remember when ralph menzes was first brought to the interview room so we could talk to him. they're setting up the lights getting the microphone set making sure the lighting is just so and it's important to establish a rapport very quickly and ralphk, and i'll never forget. i asked him, hey, what are you watching on tv these days? and he told me that he was a big fan of "the oc." >> i see "oc all the time. i like that. >> yeah? what's your -- got to be honest, i love the oc, too. what is your favorite character on that? >> my favorite character is kelly rowan. >> yeah? >> she's pretty hot. >> narrator: menzes' interest in women became more disturbing when we learned details of his crime. >> ralph's crime allegedly was a brutal one. kidnapped a female from a convenience store and took her up one of the canyons, tied her to a tree and then cut her throat and then left her there. >> well, i've always maintained my innocence. i've done a lot of things in my life, you know, that i'm not proud of, but this particular one is not one of them. i just come to the conclusion that karma bit me in the ass. i personally wished they would either overturn my case, my conviction, or execute me and get it over with. whereas now you don't know if i

ralph nader. i'm maria hinojosa, this is one on one. ralph nader, it's great to have you on the show. >> thank you. >> hinojosa: so here's the first question i want to throw out to you, because, you know, you're a consumer advocate. as a kid who was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, you know, ralph nader... everybody knew what you were doing. but paint a picture of what our country would look like if you hadn't existed; if you hadn't, you know, brought in the regulations, what would our country look like? >> well, me and a lot of other people. >> hinojosa: okay, but... >> but well, for example, we wouldn't have mandatory motor vehicle safety standards, we wouldn't have recall requirements for companies who sell you a defective car. we got through meat and poultry inspection laws; there were virtually no inspection standards of diseased meat and all the illness that comes from it, never mind the fraud. environmental protection-- there wasn't anything like that in washington. legal services for the poor-- this came out of the 1960s as well. a consumer product safety commission, for example, was created. the problem is that the corporations know how to game these systems, and so they slowly, day after day with their lobbyists and their money, bring these agencies down so that they

ralph took valerie to get a pedicure. she went with her favorite color, purple. then so did ralph. >> he said he'd do this purple as well to make me smile. >> it seemed to work. you were laughing pretty good there. >> yup. >> reporter: it turned out to be just the first, though, of many smiles. that's because after ralph posted a picture of their purple painted toes, a remarkable thing happened -- their friends started doing the same, followed by complete strangers, who had heard about what ralph had done. hundreds upon hundreds of them all painting their toes and sending their pictures just to make valerie smile. >> it touches my heart, it really gets down to a deep level. and the support and the fun that i think people have with it has, though, become even more than that. with the help of friend, the wonderful gestures have grown into a fund-raising campaign, one that has raised more than $12,000 for lung cancer research and raised the spirits of a woman who needs it more than ever. since we first aired valerie's story in june, the purple toe pictures continue to come in, as has the money. valerie continues with her immunotherapy tramts, still looking forward to be cancer free. >> your time now is 6:58. one final check now of the day's topster. >> season season police say none of the people living i

ralph he's probably got something up his sleeve that he's not telling us about what he's going to do after he leaves congress next month. in fact, when asked about his plans after leaving congress, ralph mentioned he will probably go to work at wal-mart because he has to have a job. ralph's always go the to have something to do, but it goes to show that no matter what he does next, he won't be slowing down any time soon. ralph hall will be greatly missed in this congress, and i'm privileged to call him a colleague and a friend. i'd like to wish him godspeed and all the best as he continues to recover from a recent car accident at his -- at home in rock wall, and i look forward to seeing what he accomplishes in the next chapter of his long and storied life. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. leahy: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: first i ask unanimous consent that we, an intern in my office be granted floor privileges throughout today. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, i listened with interest to the tremendous statement made by the senator from california, senator feinstein. and as she has said on other occasions, she has spoken of this and we americans should listen. more than a decade ago,

ralph took valerie to get a pedicure. she went with her favorite color, purple. then so did ralph. >> he said he'd do his toes purple, as well. to make me smile. >> seemed to work though. you were laughing pretty good there. >> yep. >> reporter: it turned out to be just the first, though of many smiles. that's because after ralph posted a picture of their purple painted toes a remarkable thing happened. their friends started doing the same followed by complete strangers who had heard about what ralph had done. hundreds upon hundreds of them all painting their toes and sending their pictures just to make valerie smile. >> it just touches my heart. it really gets down to a deep level and just the support and the fun that i think people have with it too, that's the, you know i want it to be really both. >> all right. got it. >> it has, though become even more than that. with the help of friends, these wonderful gestures have grown into a fund raising campaign. one that has raised more than $12,000 for lung cancer research and continues to raise the spirits of one woman who needs it now more than ever. >> thank you. thank you. >> since we first aired valerie's story in june the purple toe pictures continue to come in as has the money. valerie continues with her immuno therapy treatments still looking forward to be

ralph bunch saw the language it wasn't tough enough for him and he spiced it up even more. ralph bunch personally, personally, spiced up the language in the resolution to condemn the other lawyer, nobel peace price winner, martin king so roy wilkins, naacp, ralph bunch, the only other black anybody peace prize winner in the country, turn on him. they went in becomely on dr. king. adam clayton powell, jr., lovers that brother but when martin was concerned, hater. straight hater. was hating on dr. king as -- it was one of the most difficult passages to write, a message where even though adam clayton paul has been hating on dr. king publicly, dr. is such a loving man -- examples of folks hating on him and he was loving them back as hard as he could. he knew paul was after him. he had been talking about him like a dog. he invited him to his home for dinner and martin went. let's like daniel walking into the lion's dead on purpose. he knew where he was going. you read the pass yang what adam clayton powell did to dr. king at to his face, at his house, you won't believe it. and we are national television, c-span so i'm not going to quote for you because i can't, what thurgood marshal said about dr. king. that they're good marshall. the leading journ

ralph hall, the oldest ever house number at age 91. here's some of what members had to say about ralph hall. [video clip] >> we've had a number of congressmen come on the house floor intel anecdotes about anecdotesnd tell about ralph and how funny he was and how smart he was, and they are all, at least the ones about how smart he was, very true. aboutrd the urban myth weighing on bonnie and clyde, which i do not believe is true. we've heard about ted williams and ralph and ted playing on the same baseball team in world war ii. that is true. we have heard about the offer to serve as the promoter forecast as clay, who later became a home at ali. that is true. a few more that you -- as the clay,er forecast he ir cassius who later became mohammed ali. that is true. heyou more of you know that worked for the previous owner of the dallas cowboys, and he was offered a job with the nfl, which he turned down. i knew ralph when i got elected in 1980 four. he and i served districts that touch each other. we both live in our districts in texas, and so we became good buddies because we were always on the first flight after the last vote to texas at the end of the week and on the last flight before the first vote to washington

what he said, there's a lot of he said, he said, in intermediary school and ralph was able to get the truth. they would tell ralph things they wouldn't tell anybody else. he was a guy who was boat the poli -- both the police and the community. that's why he was such an example. he brought that together in himself and so i think it was pure magic and for us to lose him is just tough. >> pure magic. tony, when you see these images of the sea of blue, right. >> right. >> and the way that william bratton, the police commissioner described it, we are the thin string that ties this city together. were you surprised at the outpouring that we've seen? >> not at all. it's relevant with regard to the scene where the shooting took place. >> flowers. >> i've been involved with several shootings of civilians, quite frankly, and other police officers, i've never seen this kind of a massive turnout. there is definitely a need for us to be able to communicate but so that we can get this resolved. >> so we're going to talk about that more throughout the hour, but what does that look like? we heard from mayor de blasio with a lot

ralph peters on, well, the feinstein report. >>> rejoining us now, fox news strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters, former pentagon official, k.t. mcfarland. let me begin with you, k.t., if i may. what is the likely result of the release of the feinstein report on our relationship particularly with our allies and the degree of danger that this does put our troops, our intelligence agencies, our diplomats, in? >> well, our allies have to look at us and say can we really trust you to keep your word, can we trust you to keep a secret. if we're going to share with you essential intelligence which we, by the way, need if we are going to find out particularly as terrorist groups are forming and reforming and changing sides in the middle east, we need those foreign intelligence services. they have to look at us and say how can we really trust you, because their covers will be blown. >> ralph, your thoughts? >> well, i would just say that the cia is really a victim of changing times. the heyday in the '60s, during the vietnam war, they would love it if they could call our troops baby killers and get away with it. the country's changed and now the american people just love the troops. highest rated government institution, our military. they can't pick on them anymore so who can they pick on, the cia that can't fight back, that can't answer the charges publicly, so the cia becomes the new baby killers and it's just pathetic because as k.t. has observed as well, it's a tremendous disservice to our country. i think on a political side, k.t. made a very good point the other day in her column on fox news.com that basically, the democrats are behaving like bad tenants who are being evicted and now will trash the place before the new owners come. >> aptly put, and you get credit for it, ralph, because you are quoting k.t. let me turn now if i may to in the midst of all of this mae

first, on our side of the aisle, we have ralph hall of texas. all of you know ralph. and unfortunately he was involved in a car accident over the -- during the -- right after the election, and i think he's still in the hospital. we have lee terry from the great state of nebraska on this subcommittee. dr. bill cass. he'll be moving over to the u.s. senate. and cory gardner will be moving over to the u.s. senate. but i just wanted to thank them for the many contributions that they have made and the great job they did representing their constituents. and then on the democratic side, of course the ranking member henry waxman of california served many years on this committee as chairman and as ranking member, will not be returning. mr. john dingle, who all of you know as chairman of this committee for many years. john barro of georgia and donna kristenson of the virgin islandss. so i just wanted to thank all of them for their many contributions. and with that, you can talk about them in your opening statement, bob, if you want to. that's okay. anyway, i'll go on at this ti

ralph, i think the senator's legacy is now assured. colonel peters will rejoin us later in the broadcast. thank you, ralph. >>> time for a look at online poll results. whether you prefer to have a president who can inspire all americans rather than tear down and divide our nation? 99% of you said yes, you would like to have an inspirational president. be sure to vote in our poll tonight, the question is are you outraged that a sitting president would say your conscience requires the trigger and the inconveniences of street demonstrations to be awakened? cast your vote at loudobbs.com. >>> the supreme court ruled that retail giant amazon doesn't have to pay warehouse workers for time waiting to pass through security checks at the end of their shifts. unanimous ruling is a victory for retailers who routinely screen employees to prevent theft. amazon employees argue they wait up to half hour to clear security before they go home. >>> up next, a series of hearings on capitol hill proving once again that washington, d.c. is ground zero for something less than excellence. that's next. here's a question for you: when electricity is generated with natural gas instead of today's most used source, how much are co2 emissions reduced? up to 30%? 45%? 60%? the answer is... up to 60% less. and that's a big reason why the u.s. is a world leader in reducing co2 emissions. take the energy quiz -- round 2. energy lives here. . lou: coming up here tonight, the latest on the escalating white house war against law enforcement in this country. now, a few comments on the day's events in our nation's capitol. a day which duplicity, deceit, disregard, disrespect and utter boundless were on display, the head of the centers for medicare and medicaid admitting to congress that, yes, the obama administration did mislead congress and the american people about the enrollment number for obamacare. >> in my previous appearance before your committee, i reported a number of americans that were enrolled in marketplace coverage, and that premiums included medical and dental coverage. simply put, this was a mistake. some individuals with both medical and dental coverage were counted twice in the individual affected enrollment numbers. moving forward only individuals with medical coverage will be included in our effective enrollment numbers. lou: the mistake was inadvertent, that's what makes a mistake, not outright deceit. committee seemed unpersuaded. then jonathan gruber's turn to apologize that the democratic party intentionally deceived americans on just about every principal element of obamacare admitting that obamacare would have never passed without committing public policy fraud, the ranking democrat managed to agree with the gop but seemingly only because the professor revealed the ugly truth about the obamacare fraud that led to its passage. >> as far as i can tell, we are here today to beat up on jonathan gruber. for stupid, absolutely stupid comments he made over the past few years. >> are you stupid? >> i don't think so, no. >> does m.i.t. employ stupid people? >> not to my knowledge. >> okay, so you're a smart man who said some, as the ranking member said, some really stupid things, and you said the same, correct? >> the comments i made were really inexcusable. lou: the democratic senate was not about to be outdone by the house. senator dianne feinstein decided that releasing a controversial cia interrogation report constructed by only democratic members of the committee outweighed endangering american lives and our national interests abroad. >> there are those who will seize upon the report and say see what the americans did? and they will try to use it to justify evil actions or insight more violence. we can't prevent that, but history will judge us by our committee to a just society governed by law, and the willingness to face an ugly truth and say never again. lou: and democrats will face judgment on their reckless partisanship and the hostility toward the intelligence community, an intelligence community that the president actually referred to as heroes, which was contradictory to much of what his administration in fact, he, has been saying. the president for his part chose today to demean and smear law enforcement officers across the country as racist and to insult an unnamed number of americans who he sees as racist and without conscience. >> a combination in some cases of folks just not know anything better and in a lot of cases subconscious fear of folks who look different, all of this contributes to a national problem. lou: the president with rather a superior view there, don't you think? president obama focusing as well on two incidents and politically exploiting both tragedies. declaring a national problem with racism in a nation 316 million people on the basis of those two incidents. decided on the evidence with which mr. obama and mr. holder disagree, therefore, dismissing not one but two grand juries and the views of the family of eric garner who say his death wasn't just but it had nothing do with race. a president should be inspirational, not shameless. the use of division and deceit to divert the nation's eyes from lack of capacity to lead, to persuade to create consensus instead of dissension, who now calls for more demonstrations throughout the streets of the country. this day has clarified for all who will look, why our true national problem is our government. too much of which is made up of those willing to lie to the american people to insult the american people, and to attack those who protect us and law enforcement agencies at home, and our diplomatic core intelligence agencies and our troops who defend us all around this dangerous world. god protect and bless them. up next, senate intel committee chair dianne feinstein acknowledges her own partisan political report could put american lives in danger. that's next. . lou: the "washington post" and the "new york times" headlines today directly contradicting each other on the 2016 republican feel for president and likely donors. the times headline reads, quote, gop donors seek early call on 2016 nominee. with the post headline reading, quote, big gop donors choose to wait. money push may keep 2016 field unsettled. there you have it. the clash of the liberal media titans. we'll be on the lookout from, well, i guess we can watch both for corrections, couldn't we? >>> the fbi warning state and local law enforcement that the release of the cia interrogation report by senator dianne feinstein and the senate democrats could spark violence and be exploited by terrorist groups for recruitment. joining us tonight former pentagon official fox news national security analyst k.t. mcfarland. thanks for being here. this report is completely political and without, i can't even imagine why should be motivated on political grounds to release a report that the republicans didn't participate in. >> here we have something about a situation that happened years ago. we're not doing this stuff anymore. why release it publicly of? you have the fbi director saying america watch out, we expect attacks and recruitment at home as a result of this report. the secretary of defense put u.s. forces on heightened alert status around the world. the secretary of state said all american embassies and consulates around the world be careful, we might have something coming. why are we doing this to, i guess blame bush one more time before the democrats go out of the senate? this will have a long-term effect, not just is there going to be something that happens now. but before intelligence agencies look at this and say we're not going to share intelligence with america. we don't know where we're going to see it, in a public newspaper, public report to congress? and also the cia intelligence officials, anybody in the intelligence community in the united states has to look at that and say, you know, these people acted in good faith after september 11th and now they're going after them. maybe we shouldn't stick our next out. maybe we ought to stay inside the box. maybe we ought to go in the defensive position because you never know when good actions bite you ten years later. lou: the reality is one of the reasons oversight in the house and the senate, sometimes does not work is because the intelligence community knows being the folks they are, knows with certainty who will be leaking what, and who is going to put their political interest ahead of the national interests. is that what dianne feinstein did here? >> sure looks like it. there's no problem with investigating. they wanted to investigate, they thought they were regulars, do it in private. don't do it in public. first rule of foreign policy is first do no harm. what are we doing by this? endangering americans at home and abroad. putting our intelligence community in danger, and we are frankly we're going to go back gutting a generation of intelligence communities and networks. we did this in the late 1970s lou when senator frank church wanted to run for president. he didn't get to run for president. as a result of what he did, for a generation, we had hampered our ability to collect human intelligence. lou: he gutted the clandestine forces in the views of many. is there a political coincidence here that this report was released by feinstein today, that there was a public release of a difference of view between the white house and a couple of its cabinet members and the cia director about its release just as jonathan gruber was betraying the left by showing the fact that it was a fraud. obamacare was a fraud on the american people. >> don't we think that's an amazing coincidence that gruber, the nation wants to look at, and what are we doing? don't look over there, make sure you focus on the things that happened years ago. you know why it happened, lou? it had to give the mainstream media something to focus on today. lou: thank you very much, k.t. mcfarland, rejoining us later. >>> turning to wall street, stocks recovered after sharply lower, and i mean very sharply. the dow fell 51 points, the s&p down a fraction. volume on the big board almost 4 billion shares. the dow had been down 220 points earlier in the session. listen to my financial reports three times a day on the salem radio network. >>> drivers praying for a christmas miracle may get it. aaa says average national gasoline prices could drop to $2.50 a gallon by december 25th. right now they're at $2.66 a gallon. looks like a merry christmas and happy holidays for all. >>> up next, the federal government releases evidence in the michael brown shooting. evidence that does not support the brown family's version of events, nor the view of eric holder or president obama. that's next. how can power consumption in china, impact wool exports from new zealand, textile production in spain, and the use of medical technology in the u.s.?

>> i think we're surprised because we thought as you signed executive order, we thought about that with amnesty and with executive order it's got to be published out there. a memo, this is two memorandums they do not have to be published. a little more cloak-and-dagger that we just are finally -- lou: surreptitious and sinister. >> i'm not saying that, we're finding out now about it. >> are we surprised? how much transparency is there in this administration? if there's a way to hold it back and be transparent to the public, they can do it. lou: under color of what law, then, has the president acted here that five million illegal immigrants will be given de facto amnesty. he didn't have the courage after all of the blather and boisterous nonsense about issuing an executive fiat. he doesn't sign the memorandum. >> the memoranda and the executive order has the same function, it can still change the law without congress. lou: we're a country made up of idiots. >> to be fair -- >> let's be accurate, okay, first, if we may. how in the hell do we get to the point there is imperial presidency. i don't care who's in that oval office. i don't want an imperial president. i don't want a president or executive branch that can say to hell with the legislative branch and to hell with the constitution and act as if it's 19 -- >> you sound like you want checks and balances. lou: you mean like the founders? >>, is that right? wow, lou. lou: how in the world do we tolerate this nonsense? >> we've already tolerated it. the majority voted in 2012. we're done. the dye is cast. lou: authoritarian government, if i may say, that speaking to our electoral process a little far. >> also, lou, a lot of the public is saying wait a minute, president obama didn't you say repeatedly you could not -- >> the immigration law. >> doing this with a stroke of a pen. even less than a stroke of a pen. lou: i always thought of both of you as brilliant, tough attorneys. terrific, always. you've got to be worried about columbia law school, though. my goodness. lou: they decided the little darlins might be impaired, their students, by the demonstrations in the streets of new york and ferguson and they don't have to take finals because they may be so -- internalized so much of this. >> you have to toughen up if you want to be a lit garrett and go into the courtroom and represent a client. can you imagine going to a lawyer like that, and, oh, i really need -- i can't be there for you because i'm so emotionally distraught. >> i'm so emotionally distraught. i can't handle it. >> buck up. >> deal with it. lou: pro bono or other wise to the columbia law school and give them some little tutelage in toughness and brightness and effectiveness. >> this is professor wiehl. she teaches at law schools. lou: the school has to be mortally embarrassed. they have shown their sensitive side. mercedes great to have you with us. lis wiehl and mercedes colwin. >>> republicans split whether to reverse a controversial change to allow filibusters on executive and judicial nominations. majority leader harry reid unilaterally changed the rules last year, so-called nuclear oppositi opposition -- operation, not the 60-40 vote standard for four decades. senator john mccain says it's rank hypocrisy if republicans don't change it back! thank you very much, mr. mccain. the incoming chair of the senate judiciary committee senator chuck grassley is leaving toward leaving it alone. good for you, senator. up next, a partisan political report puts the nation's security in jeopardy. k.t. mcfarland and ralphers on, well, the feinstein report. ♪ (holiday music is playing) hey! i guess we're going to need a new santa ♪(the music builds to a climax.) more people are coming to audi than ever before. see why now is the best time. audi will cover your first month's payment on select models at the season of audi sales event. visit audioffers.com today. then you'll know how uncomfortable it can be. but did you know that the lack of saliva can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath?

ralph whiteg+q?ñ is able to giv us help. i know you should never meet people you meet on the internet, but ralph seems to be okay. we provided him information and said we had an id tag and belonged to a man and could he give us more information and he said yes. his number was reserve regimens, 121st. number seven company, personal number, 228. he was also able to give us his height and also able to give us his age. 36 years old, six children. he died on the third of june, 1915, fighting the french. that somehow i found reassurinr. my grand father was not serving at that point, but none the less it meant it felt a little better. however what then happened was alfred said would you like to meet the family? we said yes. they still live in the village, you know. within 24 hours, we had this picture. this picture shows there behind him, his brother. he was going to die, leaving behind six children, one of whom was born on christmas eve, 1914. he was still alone. he identified and his grandson went to see him and said dad, they found your dad on the battlefield. he was going to die from the 15th of july, 1916 fighting against the british, buried in the village and they started off taking in the village and it's behind the german lines and a rest area exactly the same as the village and ocean villas previously. the only difference was when we went to do the dig, we were that was in the converted bar in the village of miramar. we followed the root of these men to their deaths every time we went in. that was more work to be done. we had to work on our officer and here in fact we have the harmonica and the watch, stopped at about ten minutes past 6. they wound up morning or evening. one of the things i have been brought up to believe that bodies in the first and second world war, if you don't leave them, the enemy will. clearly we found this complete pocket contents. he had them with him and his money and he had a book and the book was very, very decayed. however it was sent back to ucl and they got to work on it. what did they discover? it was a bank book that came from a village and it's not in southern germany and the previous guy, 121st regimen was averted. this man potentially was from northern germany. that made little sense. we got in touch with ralphaid is there any officer in the german 121st reserve who has any contact at all who didn't mention the word? that's what he did. he said yes, as one. he's an officer who is killed on the 6th of june, 1915. 121st regimens in the 10 seventh company and before the war, he moved to start a new business. obviously he kept his bank account in northern germany. we checked the bank and there was not any money in the account. for the real reason we checked it was to say there was a better verification. we found strangely even if the young soldier survived andnq+ç was 26. he wouldn't have been able to use the bank and why? because he was jewish-owned. we touched one war and then recovered quite a lot of another one. what then happened was that his grandson put an advert in and said we found the soldier called albert. was there anybody out there in southern germany related to albert? and a woman called allison had a clue here. he came into the university and stood for the english language theater

ralph bunch saw the language it wasn't tough enough for him and he spiced it up even more. ralph bunch personally spiced up the language to condemn the other laureate nobel peace prize winner martin king. where wilkins the naacp and the other black nobel peace prizewinner turns on them. they went in publicly and dr. king. adam clayton powell jr. love their brother but where martin was concerned a straight hater. he was hating on dr. king. it was one of the most difficult passages to write. even though adam clayton powell has been hating on dr. king publicly. they're all kinds of examples where folks were hating on him and he loved them as hard as he could. he invites martin to dinner one night at his home and martin went anyway. that's like daniel walking into the lion's den on purpose. he knew where he was going but he invited him so he went anyway. when you read the passage in his book what adam clayton powell did to his space at his house you ain't going to believe it. clayton powell jr. turns on him and we are on national television on c-span so i'm not going to even quote what's in the text because i can't cant the thurgood marshall said about dr. king. yeah that thurgood marshall. the leading journalist of the day and other black media outlets turned on dr. king. so the white house is turned on him, the media has turned on him, white folk have turned on him, black folk had turned on him and if that's not enough inside his own organization sclc he can get a consensus to support him on his opposition to the vietnam war. when you read the story of the meeting they had one day his organization dr. king founded sclc. he is board of directors and past error organization to condemn him over his stance on the vietnam war. his organization writes the resolution to condemn him. he said who are they trying to come after me? he said i'm signing the checks around here. i would have lauded as dr. king very sure pink slip goodbye and don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. what dr. king was so loving and so kind he went to adam's house for dinner. his organization is voting to condemn him and he still has the same folks on the board and having dinner with them to try to understand why they feel this way. it's called radical empathy. i'm not quite there yet. it's called radical empathy. everyone was against him. on top of all that he feels the death angel hovering in his face every day. he knows there's a bullet out there with his name on it in these telling everybody in a circle he knows his time is limited and he knows that time is going to come is coming soon. i want to hear it because they love barton so much. and he didn't want to hear that i'm ralph didn't want to hear that. it can want to hear that he was about to die, be murdered. so he couldn't talk to them. everybody else is turned against him. his martin turned to? it's a good thing before he was a civil rights leader before he was a ph.d. before all of that he was a preacher. he had that one connection. he didn't have that connection and there are stories in this tax that will make you cry. i have read the book 25 times and i watch every time -- i cry every time. they're certain parts of the book for you see martin at night crying himself to sleep. some nights he can't sleep in the southside. he's looking at the stars and singing. singing trying to pray and pulled himself through. one night they can't find martin. it's 3:00 in the morning. they are at a hotel and he's on the balcony standing in his pajamas in the middle of the night singing. rock of ages let me hide. they said martin is everything all right in martin just kept singing. they left and came back at 7:00 in the
