senator cory booker gave it last week. give him a round of applause. he is one of the big leaders on this thing. and he gave a speech -- we had a hearing -- a briefing on thursday last week. we didn't understand that when cory booker shows up it is beetle mania -- beatle mania and we couldn't get everybody in and he gave a speech that we posted on you tube and i can't imagine how a single person in the country could say no to him and the rest of us in trying to get this thing done. what has to happen is this. this is the time for real comprehensive change. it is very, very rare that we have a moment where the stars have aligned in this way. where crime is down, the system is clearly broken and not just conservatives and liberals but libertarians, all three have come together to say we can do better. now in a moment like this where you have multiple bill and i want to nak check the bills out there, but you have multiple bills over there -- maybe i left it there. no i have it right here. you have multiple bills in motion on the senate side and now more o

then, he selected t washington -- booker t. washington who we attribute to be the founding principle and president. there are many people who are similar to your cousin who played a significant role, names who we do not want to ever forget. to the point of the needs of an institution like booker t. washington, i do it a decently -- a daily commentary about booker t. washington. as a president, most people reduce into a political or social leader, but primarily he was a president. it was a complete consideration on what he meant in vocational. on hand, the notion that post slavery, african-americans had acquired certain tools and search skill sets that could be translated into economic independence as well as education, but many times, many people fail to point out or to recognize that the complete configuration of locations stems and hails from the latin origin which is a calling "vocare" to call. that is a hand skill. that is something rooted in character and consistency. your question about the role of that kind of institutio

and ted cruz working on this from right of center, but also seeing them coalesce with guys like cory booker and patrick leahy. this is cats and dogs working together. it's an opportunity and this idea that some principles are bigger than politics. equal treatment under the law. innocent until proven guilty. that's what's brought us altogether. kennedy: this is a huge issue, and one of the specific complaints that residents of ferguson, missouri have had that they have been by race unfairly punished for something as simple as traffic times and when they can't pay them because the economic situation isn't so good, they get thrown in jail? >> i think you're right. and across the country, there's a lot of communities where crime is down, but still have a system in place where oftentimes, the punishment doesn't fit the crime. and so i think it's a really exciting moment to see that while many of the organizations that have come together may not agree on anything else, they agreed to work together on criminal justice reform. kennedy: it is unlikely alliance which makes it so interesting and so pr

and also orbitz recently had e-bookers in europe. you had trip advisors that was spun out of expedia. you're talking about a huge number of some of the largest websites out there. you have cheap zero air out there. (?) so, yeah but you basically -- here's the problem, they are all brands of each other. some of them market to different segments. some of them market to different players. and you have basically one master company owning all that. it's the same thing that we had just gone through with airlines. now down to four airlines that control 80% of the traffic in the united states. this is a huge experiment. the funny thing, gerri orbitz was created to kill expedia. it was established in the late '90s and at the turn of the century because expedia was owning all the airline customers. they all put in money to kill expedia. it was labeled t2. the expedia terminator when it was originally done. >> is this going to be an antitrust issue. you have just two players in a big field. >> we saw what happened with american merlz. it took t

. >> a couples date is double the money, and the booker seems interested. he tells the undercough tore sit tight and wait for daisy's call back. >> she's going to call back on a blocked number. >> hopefully we'll be able to obtain an underage girl that's involved in prostitution or may be able to assist in our related cases we have open right now. >> yeah, that sounds good. >> that would be the benefit out of all of this tonight. >> it's a little after 7:00 p.m. when the first date arrives in the hotel lobby. >> oh, really? okay, yep, i'll be on the way down. >> all right, he's going to walk down there, see if that might be her. >> the undercover goes down to the lobby to retrieve his date while arresting officers set up in the surveillance room and wait for the show to begin. >> make yourself comfortable. >> an unsuspecting young woman going by the name nicole is the first to take the bait tonight. >> officers next door listen carefully for the bust signal. good deal. >> arresting officers move in to make the bust. >> police. >> do you have any guns, weapo

he and senator booker from new jersey are sponsoring great legislation to reform -- you have a lot of the younger minority voters in prison for low level drug offenses. what he's saying is you're criminalizing something that people that a lot of affluent people have done and never got penalized for it. and yet there's a segment of our society sitting in prison that are being penalized for it. >> and rand paul said he's not for legalizing marijuana but saying the penalties might be too harsh. i want to talk about in colorado where this is now legal. the democratic governor out there had something to say about this. he said he wishes they didn't rush into this. there was a lot of talk about the instant windfall that would come from the tax money from this. he said, if i could have waved a wand after the election i would have reversed the election and said, this was a bad idea you don't want to be the first person to do something like this. he continued on there's a whole regulatory environment that really regulates alcohol. we're starting from scratch and we don't have a federal partner

. >> my general understanding is that booker t. washington's strategy was the dominant strategy of the day. this clearly represents the turning of the page, the passing of the torch, so to speak. >> we have been showing some of the pictures of that demonstration in boston, one could assume it also might have drawn more attention to the film and more people going to see the film. >> you are right. dubois and trotter spoke about that, they traded letters. they understand they were also selling tickets. wilson wrote letters gloating about that. let them fuss and carry on because it guarantees more ticket sales. i think trotter at the end of the day, dubois said, let's stand unanswered. this portrayal of black america and reconstruction in the south would be far worse. >> we have this tweet. what was the impact of the naacp and the black press campaigns against "birth of a nation"? hari jones? >> supporting wilson at first was a real problem, compromise for them. within the naacp during this time the voice -- dubois had a crisis and yo

every single thing he does if he was in cory booker's position as new jersey's representative in the united states senate or in the house of representatives. you can't bring spouses on trips. you have a depiction of him loading up one of his private planes to fly to israel with his wife, three of his four kids his mother. >> father stepmother, law partner. >> it's like thanksgiving dinner in the plane. that would be wildly criminal for a senator. but governors can get away with it? >> new jersey was the most prominent state, the only state proposing to legalize it. so you have him taking a gift from someone who is lobbying against this. clearly it was a gift and lobbying going on. so the ethical conflicts are striking here. >> this group, this promote new jersey group was actually his idea. this group of big money entities with new jersey interests who got together and said let's create a fund that we can pay for his travel. >> right. those companies are not allowed to donate directly to him, or to a campaign. the other thing, he's installed a close confidant as head of that group. t

philadelphia mayor michael nutter delaware governor jack markel and cory booker took part. >>> we have new information on a story we first told you about yesterday. 10-year-old maya rigler from brynn mar has a rare cancer. it's difficult for doctors to treat. she battled and beat a different cancer. even though she's been showered with gifts, maya is asking everyone to make a donation to alex's lemonade stand. in just one day since her story aired there's been a boost to the campaign about $10,000 donated in the past 24 hours. actress may imbialik from the big bang theory poefrted her story on the facebook page. information on s veilis available on the nbc 10 news app. >> making a difference. >> nbc 10 news at 5 dlok:00 is next. >> hopefully maya is smiling because of those donations. >>> next live team coverage of today's snowstorm. >> a morning of white leaves parents at the jersey shore seeing red. >> i think they definitely should have closed it. >> i'm ted greenberg. how a decision to open schools in a snowstorm is coming under criticism. >>> and i'll show you some of those snow t

we are working with, for example, senator cory booker and congressman cummings on a bipartisan basis, and senator ron johnson in the senate. i think you will see a bi-partisan effort in that area. i encourage on a regular basis democrats and republicans to come together every time they can. they are not always going to be able to agree but there are a lot of issues they can agree on. ann wagner, for example has a , bill on sexual slavery and on protecting young women in particular, and that's a very bi-partisan bill and the sort of thing we ought to be able to pass easily in the house and senate. so there is a chance to create this environment where people work together on a range of bills, and i think that's an important part of this. host: hot i asked you about the house. do you miss cnn and crossfire? guest: i was disappointed. i thought crossfire was working. we certainly got huge reviews here in washington from people who loved it. a number of senators and house members would say, i would be glad to come on. governs would say when i am cog -- coming through town, i would like to

was right when he came into the white house, he invited booker t. washington to dinner. and this was scandalous. the south was up in arms and an african-american not only was sitting in the white house dining with the president but had his legs next to a white woman, edith the first lady's legs. and scathing racist bigotry if you read the newspapers coming out of mississippi. so you know what t.r. does? he decides he's going to go back to vardman, governor vardman of mississippi, who's calling roosevelt every ugly racial name in the book, and he went hunting in vardman's backyard with holt collier, an african-american hunt guide. today there's a holt collier national wildlife refuge in the mississippi delta. and this is the scene where a woman here in brooklyn ruth mccomb i believe it is, she ended up becoming very famous and made a lot of money and i'll tell you why in a minute. they're down there in mississippi. and the big thing was the south was lynching african-americans. and fdr wanted federal anti-lynching laws and the south didn't want federal anti-lynching laws.

appointed as the seaver of public moneys by -- receiver of public moneys by mckinley and friend to booker t. washington and facilitated his leadership four times by president rosevelt and president taft. the friendship with dr. washington was a close friendship. he was asked to be the dedication of the mosaic templar building in 19 15. he passed in 1916. today, bush's descendents remain pillars in our community in little rock and his legacy lives on with the cultural center which is an outstanding educational resource for our rich african-american traditions in arkansas. as we celebrate black history month, we remember john bush's legacy that continues to inspire and be a major and important part of arkansas history. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york mr. jeffries, for five minutes. mr. jeffries: mr. speaker, in less than two days house republicans are prepared to shut down the department of homeland security threatening the safety of the american people. at home there is a noted and beloved philosopher by the
