makes no sense and it makes me wonder what is the republican party done to get such a hold on poor white america and when will they realize that they're voting against their very own survival. now do these people not know the very opinions of the candidates that they support could it be that conservatives and tea partiers just know how to sell themselves as average joes i want to continue this discussion so i'm going to chat with churchill on this one and hopefully she'll be able to explain to me what's behind this mysterious phenomenon now jenny you're from kentucky and right now kentucky is all excited about rand paul and so to explain this to me is why do poor white people in kentucky that are currently struggling in the recession why do they want to vote for rand paul when he's one of the people who thinks the unemployed are lazy and don't deserve benefits there's a few things that play into that i would say the first one is that when they look at rand paul they see someone who's one of them you know he's spending kentucky for a long time he lives in southern kentucky which is what many peop

america. you're on different sides. andrew, let me begin with you. after seeing the whole tape, the white house calls secretary tom vilsack. he's reconsidering this firing. any second thoughts for you? >> i have no second thoughts regarding the course that vilsack took. i have no idea why a video that was posted to draw attention between the conflict of the tea party and -- the tea party and the democratic party, are trying to attack -- >> let me stop you there. your original column said that the video lays out, in stark detail, that her, shirley sherrod's federal duties, are managed through the prism of race and class distinction. >> she does talk about race and class distinctions in it. >> not in the context of her job as an appointed bureaucrat. >> what this video clearly shows is a standard that the tea party has not been held to. the naacp, it shows people in the audience there, applauding her when she discriminates against a white farmer. that was the point that i was trying to make. what the naacp is arguing about the tea party is that there are people in -- >> she said. >> let me

been fired by the white house and the secretary of agriculture based on a clip which had been shown and my point is one that i think you would agree with, which is there is no room in america for a latino or black racist or white racist or native american racist. we are either color blind or we are not color blind. >> chris: let me bring in governor dean. >> let's be blunt about this. i don't think newt gingrich is a racist or you are a racist but fox news had an obligation to find out what was really within the clip. they have been forcing the theme with the black racism with the black panther cra crad sotomayor. i think the party has to stop appealing. and fox news put that on. >> chris: wait, wait, governor. >> i know the obama people. >> chris: i know facts are inconvenient things but let's try to deal with the facts. the fact is that the obama administration fired or forced shirley sherrod to quit before her name had ever been mentioned on fox news channel. did you know that, sir? >> what i do know is that video came out -- >> chris: did you know that, that her name, she was fired before her name was ever mentioned on the fox news channel? >> what about the video? whe

red sneakers with white stripes brought back fwr america by her oldest son given to her youngest, both of them immediately rung outside kicking the soccer ball back and forth the older rustling the youngster's head after a goal, empty now. heavy and white, they were the first pair of shoes she ever walked in. the first she had learned to untie so that she could riggel out and once again feel the sand cyst between her toes, empty now. his work boots were resoled many times next season he would have bout a new pair or perhaps the season after that. but these old ones darkened from the oil had become supple and familiar. they knew his feet took his ankles and kept them strong. empty now. she had smiled when he offered her the embossed letter pumps made for her in italy from the pattern he carefully traced around her narrow feet long toes tapered in perfect symmetry.

diversity and the myth of white privilege that america owns a debt to black citizens but government programse of color are unfair. they should end. even those in the democratic party say we have to have a real conversation about these issues. >> i don't think there's anybody that says we shouldn't have a real conversation about these issues but there's nobody at this table or frankly most people in america who think that an edited 2 1/2 minute clip that begins driving the news and has reporters saying how will the white house react, it's a huge problem, will they fire her? what are they going to do? that's not a reason conversation. a reason conversation is what the president has tried to promote throughout his career and that he's said we need to have. let's not mistake what's been going on over the past week for any kind of reason conversation. there was a rush to judgment on shirley sherrod and based on another false idea that somehow barack obama is the president with race relations in america or the reason we don't have a conversation. i don't think that's true either. >> i want to say

but what does the argument really tell us about america in black and white? >> announcer: from the global resources of abc news, with terry moran, martin bashir and cynthia mcfadden in new york city, this is "nightline," july 20th, 2010. >> good evening. i'm terry moran. and we're going to begin tonight with a strange phenomenon that many find simply unbelievable. animal hoarding, it's called. these are people that are far more than pet lovers. no, they are truly obsessed by the need to obtain and keep pets, sometimes by the dozen, sometimes by owning 100 or more. many of them choose to live in squalor rather than parting with their pets. our yunji de nies peered into this world and the psychological mind-set of animal hollywooders. >> reporter: olga watched helplessly as investigators removed dozens of animals, dogs, cats, pigeons, even a fox, some alive, many dead from her philadelphia home, a place where she says the animals were well cared for. >> i spare no expense. they're my babies. i have no husband or children to worry about. they were my children. >

able to pay pennies for the exact same work so i'll take a look at how america can retool for a changing world and why do poor white voters continue to support public and candidates who have launched an assault on them the same candidates that call the poor and call them unemployed lazy and dumb so what will it take to get them to realize that they're really voting against themselves we're going to chat with churchill on that matter but now let's move on to our top story tonight. as of two days ago medical marijuana is now legal in d.c. yesterday we spoke to a former law enforcement official who was against prohibition to get his take on how important these steps are to counter our failing war on drugs but today let's talk about perceptions public opinion and how we need figures into u.s. politics does the fact that the nation's capital now allows medical marijuana i mean the attitudes around the country are changing well we see a dispensary a block away from the white house one day and what is the rest of the world going to think well joining me here in the studio is allen st pierre executive director of normal an

in the long term solution has to be done with with a lot of investment in latin america because all the whitesy're going to keep on coming for decades getting back to a little earlier we were talking about some of the anger and frustration with president obama for not having passed this. one if he doesn't pass it by the time the next election comes then there is going to be a backlash with spending voters i think and what if he's running against sarah palin i mean she's not going to do anything it's a possibility but if person barack obama and democrats keep losing. he's spending borders and he's spending bodies' going to be up for grabs so do hispanics just not show up at the polls do they just choose inaction i think they're going to be voting something interesting when ronald reagan used to say that latinos are really republicans he's just that they don't know what what happens is that latinos many latinos are very conservative they are against abortion they are suspicious of big government so in that sense yes he's spending budgets are very similar to republican values and we have to remem

canada and america are white bread countries. your tie. you live in montreal. >> i do indeed. >> jimmy: i love montreal. >> thank you. >> jimmy: one of the best cities in the world. montreal -- well do you speak half french when you're in montreal? >> i grew up speaking english and i live in an english part of town but i can argue pretty good in french. >> jimmy: you can. everything there, it's remarkable that everything is even. it's like there's a huge fight and they said, everything's going to be in english and in french. >> it's almost like there was a huge fight -- >> jimmy: there was a huge fight. >> still is to this day. i think they should get over it. it's an interesting dynamic. it makes for -- you know it just informs everything. you know, we have common bonds. we unite over our hock you team and our bagels and then we argue about a lot of other stuff. >> jimmy: they have good bagels in montreal. >> indeed. >> jimmy: kind of small and kind of thinner and covered mostly with sesame seeds. >> and the dough is boiled in h

so if you want to have been a because i'm white you'll be there in ten minutes i'm telling you ok i'm going to take your advice whole life politer advice america do it well so the white house was so focused on shirley sharod on watching and edited you tube video. that they weren't paying attention to the fact that now it's been found in the pentagon that there's been some serious child. horn found on a lot of computers of people that were very high up and had all kinds of classified access i maybe because here's a terrorist but it's way too convenient to have that many people have that much child porn on the computer i'm telling you somebody had said oh i think somebody hacking that they had to hack into computers and i think this man is a genius i don't want to be arrested i do this man should probably call me because i got a ticket in richmond last week and a right there is a particular cop who might need some chop or show up on his thing so he didn't show up at the trial all right all right man so just call me up all right i'm not saying that you're guilty but i'm saying that i'm on the internet email me. dot com. you know i think i'm start

white house run. she appeared on "good morning america." >> you win in november you are automatically at the top of the republican party, not only in california but the country, ever thought about running for the white house? >> no, i am here to run california. i want to fix california. >> she says she is focused on helping california out of its recession. whitman spent more than $90 million winning the gop nomination. she faces jerry brown in the governor's race. you can watch the entire interview on gma at 7:00 a.m. >> it's 6:06, don't expect it to be much warmer by the time gma starts. >> cooler than average afternoon temperatures, five degrees cooler in hayward. san francisco 62. oakland, of you that is 7 degrees cooler than average. san jose, condition cord and santa rosa, 10, 15 and 16 degrees cooler than average. we should be 90 in concord. 75 degrees. feels like spring outside. by noon, fairfield, livermore, san jose, low to mid-70s. then we have upper 50s around napa and concord. upper 50s at the coast where we'll stay there at 4:00 and so there will the clouds. upper 50s santa rosa, fremont,

white house still continue to splurge. more than half of the $9 trillion in debt america will accrue in the next decade will be from interest alone. that money could be better used on national defense or a return to taxpayers. instead, future generations will be forced to pay higher taxes to flip -- higher taxes to foot the bill for democrat's out of control spending. with much of our debt held by china, our national debt is also a national security issue. no less than the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff -- admiral mike mullen has said last month, "i actually believe that the biggest national security threat we have is our national debt." just as with our energy and food supplies, america is vulnerable when we disproportionately rely on other nations. it is a matter of great concern that we're in deep that the country's often do not share our values -- to countires -- countries that often do not share our values. at some point, we have to say enough is enough. we have to stop spending beyond our means. i continue to hope that president obama, speaker pelosi, and others will take steps toward responsibility and restrai

[applause] >> we talked about how we can strengthen the impact of president obama's export initiative. after a decade in which america's economy relied too much on an increasingly hard- pressed american consumer for growth, president obama understand we need to get back to the basics. he believes we must reinvest in innovation and do a better job of connecting u.s. companies to the 95% of the world's consumers who live outside the borders of the united states. that is where the national export initiative comes in. this is an unprecedented and government-wide effort to be double american exports by 2015. it was designed with one overriding goal in mind. it is to put americans back to work in jobs that provide security, dignity, and a sense of hope for the future. over one in three manufacturing

, racism was rampant, not only in my hometown and state and region but throughout america, and needless to say, the whitehat receptive to my point of view, a non-prejudiced point of view, so that you might say i was obliged to address myself to the black press. you know, i was living and operating in klan country. it was not healthy for a white person to be writing what i was writing about. when i first started writing to the courier, i used my first name, which no one knew, "william." i'd never used it anywhere else, but then, a bit later, i started signing my pieces "snow james." snow james was a folk hero out of southern black folk culture, and having a white reporter enter into, not just as far as-- the klan is the ultimate example that--there's no way a black could infiltrate the klan. >> what people don't understand is that lynching dominated life in the south. black people could be dragged from their homes, off the street, anywhere, with no good reason, not having done anything bad, and lynched and sometimes burned alive while white people stood around and enjoyed it. there are pictures of them la

white house, thanks very much. what is the outlook for what's become america's longest war, a year before the president plans to start winding it down? our national security correspondent david martin has an assessment. >> reporter: u.s. marines raising the american flag in khandahar. the spiritual heartland of the taliban. that was nine years ago, and everybody was feeling it. >> this fight is over. for the al qaeda. this fight is over. for the taliban. >> reporter: the man who led those marines was general james mattis. so there was bitter irony in the room today when mattis now wearing four stars sat down for his confirmation hearing as commander of all u.s. forces in iraq and afghanistan. the man who once stood on the verge of victory now says the outcome is uncertain. >> i believe it will be a difficult summer right into the fall. >> reporter: what happened? in a word iraq. the invasion and occupation sucked up troops and technology. afghanistan became what's called an economy of force operation, a euphemism meaning not enough troops. you can read all about it in the six years' worth of classified documents wiki

we will be talking about making it in america and initiative are caucus has put together working with the white house about how we can make things in america so that people can make it an america. steny hoyer came up with-- we had made in america, making it in america h a double meaning. we have a big manufacturing strategy for creating jobs in the u.s. and of course we will be talking about how we do this and reduce the deficit at the same time. jobs, jobs, jobs yeah it is very important that we have to get it done. people have to see the difference between what the republicans want to do about this, nothinand what we are advocating. >> thank you. just a quick follow-up on a question. vicki jardin koegel and many others on facebook asked and supporting manufacturing and you just briefly touch on that. can you tell us a little bit more about what you are doing their? >> barrett number of initiatives we are bringing bills up to the floor and many of them initiated by our new members freshman and sophomore members who have come most recently, many of them from the midwest and our country where th

america and b.p. british prime minister david cameron came to the white house to find common ground with president obama on issues from afghanistan to the global economy. it was, though, the american furor over british oil giant b.p. that overshadowed everything else. >> i completely understand the anger that exists right across america. the oil spill in the gulf of mexico is a catastrophe. >> reporter: but it's not just the oil spill. b.p. is now at the center of a second explosive controversy-- the release last year from a scottish prison of convicted terrorist abdelbaset al megrahi who was serving a life sentence for his role in bringing down pan am flight 103 over lockerbie scotland in 1988. 270 people were killed, 189 were americans. today, cameron strongly condemned the release of al megrahi who was allowed to return to libya on the basis of compassion. he was supposedly near death from cancer but a year later he's still alive. >> releasing the lockerbie bomber and mass murderer of 270 people, the largest act of terrorism ever committed in the united kingdom, was completely wrong. he showed his vi

disabilities and without disabilities, caregivers in families and a cross-section of america on the south lawn of the white house had heard the president close his remarks as tony pointed out, "let the shameful walls of exclusion come tumbling down." it is a privilege to be here today. congratulate you being in the legislative leadership for so many good causes on behalf of people with disabilities. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much. i have one little anecdote. there are republicans and democrats on this panel. one of the things that i encountered in doing a little off the record lobbying, you do not lobby when you are cabinet member, but i ran into a few pockets of opposition from some of my republican colleagues that had a suspicion of civil rights bills. at that time we were dealing with the aftermath of the the decisions the supreme court handed down in 1989. one of the issues in the case was the issue of whether we were promoting a quota system, something the president was very upset about. that pervaded all of this discussion. i said this is not a quota bill, this is a bill that calls for
