that south carolina must recognize gay marriage? that is outrageous! when did south carolina start recognizing the federal government? ( cheers and applause ) folks, i knew this would happen. folks as a native son of the palmetto state, am deeply disturbed. this is the worst thing that has happened to south carolina since someone found mark sanford. ( applause ) this ruling is a surrender to the gay agenda, or as we call it, the war of same-sex aggression. the next thing you know, the flag flying on our state capitol grounds will look like this. and, folks, it is the stars and bars, not the stars and gay bars. , of course, in all of this, there is one person i feel most for here-- me. ( laughter ) pause soutbecause stowrk is whei traditionally married my female wife woman, lorraine. as god intended. and as was the only legal option at the time. ( laughter ) sent, years later, years after i have spent with my beautiful bride, all of that seems like a total waste. i mean-- i-- i would i have gotten gay married if i could at the time?

the last time was in columbia, south carolina in 1961. i remember that one because that arrest led to a landmark breach of peace case called edwards against south carolina. it began a law school case that most universities use the case book method use that case to teach from. i happen to be one of those arrested that day. i remember those two. in between a lot of times we got arrested and were never really charged. just taken to the police station, taken off the streets and put back on with once the crowd disbursed. >> host: why were you and emily clyburn arrested and what year was it? >> guest: march of 1966 and it was six weeks after the students in greenboro, north carolina were arrested and several weeks before we first met -- greensboro -- at shaw university in raleigh to form a group that was being talked about. i was locked up around 10 a.m. and emily was among the students they didn't have room for in the jails so they herded them back to the the campus of south carolina state and chaplain university. they came around 6:30 to brin

they had headed for south carolina and took it out of them. february 16, 1865, that night that is columbia burning. it is a matter to the discussion like columbia burned and who set the fire. they blame sherman and his soldiers but repeatedly they saw that the retreating confederate would start to torch but my opinion it is all of them. the confederates lit fires son and his men let fires nobody put the things out. the army then moves into north carolina. but by march 15th they were across the cape fear river but at this point sherman has to votes but now to meet up with grant. and over the course of the march on march 16 on march 19 and 20. they slow the progress that they stop it. but on april 17 but then they begin negotiations. with that civil war challenger you know, that on april 17 not only does lee's army surrender but abraham lincoln is dead. and sherman finds out just as these negotiations are about to start. and he said to keep the news from his men because you're worried about what they will do. sherman wanted a soft peace like a g

things move slowly in the small town of latta, south carolina. but when shuler's bar-b-que opens its doors, people near and far come rushing in with some traveling hundreds of miles to eat their legendary barbecue. lynn: hi. how are y'all? welcome to shuler's. lemonis: it's an all-you-can-eat barbecue buffet, and their speciality is pulled pork and ribs. their biscuits are always one of the biggest draws. woman: excellent barbecue, some of the best i have ever had. norton: thank you, ma'am. lemonis: married couple lynn and norton hughes struggled to have a family until late in life. they were blessed when they adopted their young son and named him after norton's father, shuler. lynn and norton opened up shuler's bar-b-que restaurant in 1996 without any prior restaurant experience. they've relied on time-tested family recipes... norton: i can remember my daddy putting meat on the coals. that shows you we're cooking right. lemonis: ...and traditional cooking practices passed down by norton's father. this business has grown bigger than they ever exp

i will give you an optimistic view of things in south carolina. i voted for democratic judges that i thought were qualified, but i would not have chosen them myself. how do the conservatives get there judges if liberals do not have the ability to -- iowa's that the worst i could do is go to washington and destroyed the judiciary by over politicizing it. i voted to increase the debt ceiling because i didn't want to default. the easiest path was just to say no. i worked on immigration with bush and obama because i know if we do not get immigration fixed in a rational way, it will hurt our economy. we need workers in the future. it is a cultural problem. they aren't going away. let me tell about that republican primary voter in south carolina. they rewarded a guy who went down a road or the path of least resistance. i think the general voter election is going to pick up where they left off. they should be encouraged by the fact that in our state, all of my sins of working with the other side when it made sense, doing what i thought was best turned ou

carolina. >> the south carolina public defender system is symptomatic of an overall grossly underfunded legal system. >> how are you? >> when you have 700 people in jail and 20 lawyers to deal with that 700, the odds are stacked against you. what's going on is that the lawyers are in court all the time. as a result, the ability to get over and actually have that face time is just very scant. >> this is something that you're going to have to do yourself. >> 150, 160 is about average for our office. many times, the smaller charges take just as much time as the larger charges. that's very difficult, trying to balance all of their needs. >> the personal contact with an attorney is less important than it was 20 years ago. >> sheriff cannon, an attorney himself, says public defenders have access to their clients how that phones and videoconferencing, and their long hours in court is actually a benefit. >> public defenders actually, in many respects, have an advantage over other paid attorneys because they are in more -- in court more. they're in a position, a better position, to weigh the rel

at this assembly plant in charleston, south carolina. i've been called to a meeting with a man who works inside the plant. he's taking a huge risk even talking to me. >> it's been eating me alive to know what i know, and have no anything. >> at his request we used a different voice. >> 300 souls on the plane - their lives are bigger than me. >> we had seen reports of bad workmanship in the plant. the man claimed the problems go far deeper. >> with all the problems reported on the 787, 90% is swept away, hushed up - it's an iceberg. the people that actually work on it are the biggest problem. there is an uneducated, underskilled and uncaring staff that are building the plans. i'm not the only one that feels this way. >> he was prepared to build it wearing a camera in the plant to record what some workers said about the dreamliner. >> you can't have someone from mcdonald's do heart surgery, that's trusting someone with your life. that is what we are doing here. . >> i've seen a lot of things that should not go on at an airplane plant. peop

if the epa regulations go into effect, 50% of our power comes from coal in south carolina. epa is going to make it hard for anybody in the state who manufacturers to stay in business. between the epa and obama regulations and minimum wage, you will make it almost impossible to hire a young person in south carolina, so that is my view, to create a job for them once they get the education and take on the education bureaucracy. cannot let that one go. i have to ask you obamacare. >> obamacare is a job killing bill. it is not about the 30 million. you all know that. it is about taking over health care. the goal of this bill is that you make it so costly that you drop coverage on your employees. a go into the exchange. up arethe people signing entitled. all you have to do is fill out a piece of paper. talk about fraud and abuse. we really do need income verification. thatld take that part out, you cannot be denied coverage because of a pre-existing illness, and i would start over again, because of your hiring somebody at 40 hours today, and they are covered under obamacare to40,

down in south carolina it is beginning to look a lot like winter. snow blanketed parts of the state in the earliest snow storm in recorded history. some folks saw two to three inches and others along the north carolina/tennessee border could get up to eight inches of snow. all that plus high winds left thousands of people without power. to show you how quickly things can change, it was 80 degrees in south carolina earlier this week. they are a lot farther south. >> crazy. >> that is a hockey of a lot of snow. >> snow fl spotted within a bad golf short of augusta. reporting 36 degrees and snow at 8:00 this morning. a little bit of light snow, that will have them talking about it in south carolina. for us no snow flakes at all and none in the offering really. we're going be left dealing with cold and wind starting tonight and going all the way through the second half of your weekend. be ready to do a little bit of bundling. outside we go. skies are starting to clear out a touch here in the washington area. a little bonus sleep. back to standard time w

south carolina becomes the 35th state to allow same-sex couples to marry. montana joined the list just in the last 24 hours, but as same-sex marriage becomes law, even in red states, it is still proving an unsettling subject for many republican candidates with an eye on 2016. conservatives are already questioning new jersey governor chris christie for his refusal to fight legalize gay marriage in his state. rob portman, the first sitting republican senator to publicly support same-sex marriage has found himself the target for marriage campaign to make sure that gop primary voters are aware of his desire to redefine marriage. joining me now is syndicated columnist, author and co-founder of the it gets better project, dan savidge. thank you so much for joining me. in a time of great change, let me start that the national organization for marriage is making a very specific distinction in that ad which is talking about gop primary voters. it seems as if this is going to be a very litigated issue in the 2016 primary which, as we all know is where good, moderate

we have got the same problem in south carolina. how would i start to break gridlock? get democrats and republicans in the room and say the following. there are trillions and corporate earnings overseas that will not come in at 35%, so i am working with barbara boxer for a one-time good deal for 10% and apply the revenue to the highway trust fund to replenish it, at least in the short run. immigration, highway trust fund, working on the margins of obamacare, that would help. >> senator, thank you. same question. jobs and gridlock. >> i believe jobs is the biggest issue. i would support an increase in the minimum wage. i would support equal pay for equal work. you know, gridlock is something that can be worked on. i have been seen by most people as a pragmatic problem solver, somebody who is going to put policy ahead of politics, and let's find a solution. i do not believe that compromise is a bad word, and i think that is how we have to go about solving issues. you know, i look back on the actually hady debates and took votes, and it was not just getting harry reid and

and south carolina, mitt romney only won south carolina with 53. john mccain with 52. that's a changing south. those old white people, they're going to die some day. and who's going to be there to replace them? people that want you to be for them, not against them. >> jimmy, you should run for office. a pretty good rant you had. >> no way in hell would i run for office. i get to be with you guys. >> that's right. jimmy williams, thank you for being with us. >>> up next, a look at how the weather is holding up as folks head to the polls. you know what else election coverage needs? a little fishing. the most interesting races to watch according to us. a little more music, please. for most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. but there's a new card in town. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay .

. >>> southern charm and a rich sense of history make downtown charleston, south carolina, a top tourist draw. ten miles away, however, is a very different setting. the sheriff al cannon detention center serves as charleston's county jail. most of the 1,300 men and women incarcerated here are only charged with crimes and are awaiting trial and resolution of the cases, including david ratliff jr. in the disciplinary segregation unit. >> i had a little altercation -- actually a big altercation with a few amigos yesterday. apparently i used to date one of his girlfriends. it's a small world. this is charleston. you know, everybody knows everybody around here. i didn't start it. i finished it. you have to fight in here if someone calls you out. come on. >> staff reviews surveillance footage which shows ratliff did not throw the first punch. >> this is ratliff hanging around the pillar a couple of times. officer breaks it up. >> seconds later, another fight breaks out. a different camera angle shows ratliff joining the fight, which quickly escalates. >> this is where all six get involved. >>

the democrat, edward fitzgerald 36% and in south carolina governor haley winning against her opponent vincent sheheen. every election night there's always a surprise and this potentially has the surprise of the night now where ed gillespie with 52% of the vote compared to 56% for senator -- 46% for senator mark warner. we should point out much of virginia has yet to report and could make a difference in the senate race. >> in kentucky we're keeping our eye on mitch mcconnell's headquarters and as soon as he comes out you'll hear what he has to say about his own victory but what he sees as prospects for republican control of the senate. we'll begin with phone calls. our first one up is matt calling us from harrisburg pennsylvania. matt, you're on, and intent. matt, are you there? caller: yeah, i'm here. i noticed there was a race

he knew a different south carolina that i know. when i think that my grandfather in his lifetime he has seen his family go from picking cotton when he was a kid to have a grandson elected to the congress and senate. from cotton to congress in a lifetime says a lot about south carolina, and my grandfather's work ethic and stressed education to me and my brother and it worked out very well. >> what do you think this means, new political landscape involving black voters. were you -- i wanted to ask you. much has been made about the fact that the naacp did not congratulate you or mia love on your victory. what's going on here? i can't explain what is happening with naacp who they congratulate and don't. what is important. to engage in a serious conversation, eradicating poverty. have a serious conversation about unemployment, the poverty rate. for those who want to hatch that conversation, any place, any time, with any one. call me. i'm coming. because it is so critically important for us to breathe hope into places where hopelessness
