remember, the story goes that before abe left indiana for illinois in 1830, he gave the mallet to andrea and keith's great-great-grandfather, one barnabas carter jr. >> if there was a defining moment, it was whenever barnabas carter received that mallet. that's where it all began. >> the next step is to find out if all the characters in the purported chain of custody are in the right places at the right time. and tom and steve do unearth evidence of a lincoln-carter family connection even earlier than keith supposes -- going back to the early 1800s when the families were neighbors in kentucky. what do you have? >> well, we have tax records, for one. there were eight carter brothers who lived in kentucky beside the lincolns. >> then the guys uncover another clue -- an indiana land-plot map. it shows that the lincolns and the carter clan moved to the same section of southern indiana at nearly the same time, between 1815 and 1816. >> thomas lincoln lived in this area right here, has his name on it. right below his property, you see a small square that says, "nancy hanks lincoln grave." >> t

history. 15 years in illinois i meant independent voter in iowa to tell my students my definition of an independent voter is my -- in illinois i voted for jimmy carter for president in my lifetime i've only voted for democratic presidents twice. did you think the electoral college in the 21st century serves a purpose? and all of that if we had one person, one vote. here is the problem and i don't favor that. i don't want california and new york to decide. he raises a legitimate point. are we going to say that he doesn't know what he's talking about, he does. they matter as much as the big states and so you get texas, california, new york and a handful in illinois. i can't prove it to you here but if we did that way, they would never be in flyover country. but i think that he faces another good point and that is one of the biggest problems when they drew these weird looking districts we are changing that in ohio. if we do that then people will run in the district where only a republican can win and they can run in a democratic district so they've got them stacked. they are not hard en

this is the exact same that i think if a the former governor of illinois was convicted of and serving time in jail for.i think if a the former governor of illinois was convicted of and serving time in jail for. here donald trump was withholding $400 million, he was withholding a visit to the white house in order to get an investigation into his prime political rival. none of this had any national purpose behind it, this wasn't some kind of interest in just finding out about corruption in ukraine. this was all about donald trump just like everything else he does is all about donald trump. >> the answer is that we now have the investigation resident with john durham who is the u.s. attorney in connecticut. it is sufficiently interests lalted fr insulated from the political process. the attorney general made clear that he is not in direct supervision of that investigation, that it is up to john durham to decide. i don't know where that will lead and i don't know what we'll see in result of the michael mo horowitz report that should shed further light on the russia investigation. and you

♪ only at jared >>> a man who rescued a caged dog floating in illinois wants to adopt the puppy. when bryant fritz saw the puppy in the lake, he rushed to save her. he rushed her to the hospital. she had hyperthermia and wounds that needed to be treated. he is hoping that animal control will let him give her a new home. >> i think it's unfortunate. anyone in that situation that can't take care of an animal, there's a lot of options and things that can be done. and people are willing to help and the shelters are willing to take in those animals. >> bryant fritz lost his own dog recently. he thinks this rescue was anything but chance. >>> "early start" continues right now. >>> democrats release closed-door depositions in the trump impeachment inquiry with more coming in the hours. >>> voters go to the polls that for election-day match-ups that could offer hints about the 2020 race. >>> a fight over a popeye's chicken sandwich turns deadly in maryland. >>> a transit worker's last-second save caught on camera at a california train station. welcome back to "early start." i'm christine

the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: madam president, i was honored today to attend the second hearing that i've attended in the supreme court of the united states. if you stand right here on the floor of the senate and look east, due east through these glass doors, you can almost see the supreme court building. it's directly across the street. the supreme court is many times the last stop when it comes to human rights and civil rights. after all the work that's been done by the congress, by the president, many times it's the supreme court that has the last word. in the case of plusy versus ferguson, when the supreme court held that segregation was constitutional, that last word was a disappointment. in core mats decide versus the united states, when they upheld the internment of japanese americans during world war ii, it was another disappointment. but other times it has risen to the challenge. the famous case of brown versus education which struck down the concept of separate but equal. ogre felt versus hodges

these are seats like kansas and illinois, those were tough losses but republicans can hold those again. if you just go to the top 31, the top 13 seats, donald trump won by six points or more two years ago. these are republican seats. oklahoma five, utah 4. you ask me, it is a narrow path, but if you look at it, 19 seats. let's assume we don't win all 13 of the ruby red districts. we win 10. now we need half of the remaining 18 in the top 31 which i would argue are trump districts. this is why the first term democrats, you hear people like jeff andrews say let's put the brakes on this impeachment thing. he knows what is coming. argue depending on what the environment is 12 months from now, that we could easily win back four or five, maybe even six of the next 20. the path is there easily. >> that doesn't take into account democrat offense, especially in places like texas where you see districts that have been trending away from republicans. is a bit of ans understatement when it is possible that other republicans could lose their seats. guest: again, i think that is a false narrative. i

they showed one person who is that money went to and again through also there were you receive illinois at chicago for example you had this guy as we they named him steve and united health they got him into an apartment 12 months prior to him moving in and he had spent $81.00 times in the e.r. he had spent 17 days hospitalized had medical costs on average of $12945.00 per month now 9 months since he had a roof over his head and he's been living underneath you know in the warmth and away from the cold his average medical expenses dropped by more than 80 percent bringing his total to $2000.00 a month and he had a lot of different problems and a lot of different costs that were literally keeping him homeless you know it's $1.00 of these things where. it's going to explaining this over and over and why people are like medicare for all and all who need it and having this what i'm going to do how we're going to pay for we are already paying for it yet you are costing us all in our tax dollars state local federal we are paying for it and then we're paying for it with the insurance companies be

the state of illinois. it has a proud history of -- labor history that is filled with stories of courage and sacrifice by workers striving to organize. since the 1800's, workers organized in mines and factories, fighting the abuses of powerful industrial interests. chicago earned the reputation as a city of big shoulders, a working class, hardworking city, workers were killed in the haymarket massacre of 1886. a struggle that led to the eight-hour day and the end of child labor. the country's first national strike started in chicago when train workers across the country joined a strike that began in pullman, illinois. federal traps were sent in to break up the pullman strike but it was so significant that congress created labor day shortly afterward, one of the nation's most -- shortly afterward. one of the nation's most deadly mine disasters happened in illinois in 1909. it advanced the movement for workers compensation. working people joining forces in unions helped lift up all workers across the country.
