clyburn: there is almost difference. you do not think about the number of minutes you stay on the telephone because you have all-you-can-eat, especially when it comes to text or voice. you don't think about how long you stay on the phone. there is not an economic impact on you. for these families, they are charged by the minute and often charged by the minute and that is whether the call quality is there or not. they are charged a minimum, whether the call drops or not. these families, in addition to the rates being outrageous, often they do not get the services they paid for. they challenge the long exhaustive process dealing with a provider that would frustrate any person, especially for those whose families are often the most economically challenged in our nation. there isnon: i gather an additional concern regarding video links? mrs. clyburn: one thing we did that isn't complete when it comes to this item, is a program , or regime, called video visitation. it is what it sounds like. you would have a video conversatio

clyburn is very popular at home there. and presumably, he'll be out there stumping for hillary clinton. this is not just a paper endorsement. he can actually rally people and bring people to the polls for her. this will cement the advantage for the foreseeable future that she has with african-americans. >> donna, i have to ask you about these comments that bernie sanders made in that bette interview yesterday, right? he talked about how we visibly have been seeing secretary clinton hugging president obama if you will in terms of how closely aligned she is with him, how much she is standing up for and really running on his record. and he basically accused her of pandering to african-americans to get their vote. he said, quote, and we know what that's about, that's trying to win the support of the african-american community where the president is enormously popular. what do you think, donna? >> first of all, this is not her first time standing next to barack obama and cheering him on. remember, all you have to do and maybe s

jim clyburn has an organization. you can put two, three, four, $6 million against jim clyburn. you're not going to take jim clyburn on in his state. i think bernie sanders is not a send a message candidate. he has a deep and profound message that resonates with democratic voters. people like him. but at the same time this is a victory of a woman who's -- >> i want to say something about this clyburn endorsement. because one of this things that's in play here is you have a bunch of folks who either for neutral or endorsed barack obama back in 2008. and it wasn't so much that they didn't have a relationship with the clintons, but they wanted to endorse obama. they thought he was the right candidate. i think a bunch of them now are on board here with some more zeal because they want to sort of make up for a little bit of that be. >> it's also true that bernie sanders didn't ask jim clyburn for his endorsement, which i think speaks volumes about his approach to that vote. >> we are standing by to hear from senator sanders himself. we expect that any moment now. we'll continue to co

and a jim clyburn endorsed hillary clinton. clyburn says clinton is a fighter and has solid plans to have -- handle important issues. rep. clyburn: hillary has devoted her life to early childhood education and affordable health care for all. hillary clinton's proposals for accessible and affordable high crushing debt of college loans and preserve the value and liability of historically black colleges and universities. carol: clyburn says he's had the opportunity to work with both clinton and sanders in congress, and has enjoyed his experiences with both. we are hearing from the fiancee of a man killed in a crash in powdersville yesterday morning. michael: he was on his way to work when deputies were chasing another man in another vehicle. that vehicle crashed into the victim. corey davis spoke with the victim's fiance and joins us in malden tonight. -- in maujlldin tonight. corey: stephen burnett was a truck driver at gbs lumber supply for more than two decades. he met his fiancee here at 10 decades ago. -- 10 years ago. his bo

that later led to some friction between clyburn and former about the future. and i believe that the future of and know- how of hillary clinton as our 45th president. the clyburn endorsement could solidify secretary clinton's apparent and fairly comfortable lead in recent polling over senator bernie sanders. polls show clinton is winning african american voters by a substantial margin. in the newsroom jack kuenzie wis news ten. this endorsement comes as clinton is in a tough battle with bernie sanders just a day before the nevada caucuses. in the latest polls, likely democratic caucus-goers are split almost evenly between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. here in south carolina, clinton has an 18-point lead over sanders. new at noon... bond has been set at 500-thousand for midlands restaurant owner accused of killing a his wife's lover. greg leon is charged with murder and attempted murder in connection to a shooting, sunday night in lexington county. the judge set the bond for leon with multiple conditions including surrender his passport, not be in possessi

jim clyburn is an exception to that rule. he has a political organization unlike a lot of members of congress. they can move votes in a presidential primary election. why now? i'm skeptical it's going to move votes in nevada. i don't think people in nevada will decide to caucus or not based on this, but it will matter in south carolina. a week, it gives you enough time that he can start turning his organization on enlisting his precinct captains and volunteers, making sure they're helping the clinton campaign. the sooner the better in this case. i think this is an important endorsement for secretary clinton. i think it will certainly help solidify her lead in south carolina. it's a good day for that campaign. >> you know, daniella, you talk about the democratic fire wall. having jim clyburn's endorsement adds ballist to a fire wall. he used language that i can only imagine created flee in brooklyn if it wasn't written in brooklyn. it came out of hillary clinton talking points. i made the decision with my head and heart, speak

clyburn: hillary got her stride in south carolina. she had her stride here. on the night before the debate in charleston, i said to everybody around me that night, she is getting there. michael: clyburn was out voting today in the palmetto state and had no problem talking about clinton and his pride for her. despite being far behind in south carolina, sanders is closing the gap nationally. carol: patrick hussion is in the studio with more on the sanders campaign. patrick: recent polls of shown clinton with a large lead in south carolina, but nationally, clinton only has a five-point lead on sanders when you average all the pulls together according to real clear politics. bernie sanders and his team announced at the last minute he would not be in south carolina for any kind of primary watch party. he rallied earlier today in dallas, texas getting a head , start on hillary clinton there before heading on to minnesota. he targeted the current sen. sanders: we will defeat trump because the american people do not want a president who insults mexicans, muslims.

carol: today, south carolina representative jim clyburn endorsed hillary clinton. clyburn says clinton is a fighter and has solid plans to handle important issues. rep. clyburn: hillary has devoted her life to early childhood education and affordable health care for all. hillary clinton's proposals for accessible and affordable higher education will relieve the crushing debt of college loans and preserve the value and viability of historically black colleges and universities. carol: clyburn says he's had the opportunity to work with both congress, and has enjoyed his experiences with both. michael: in north carolina, the u.s. supreme court threw a bit of a wrench into the state's march 15 primary, helping force the congressional part of it into june. the court refused to stop a lower court's order demanding that lawmakers draw a new map of congressional districts. civil rights groups have complained the current north carolina map illegally concentrates black voters in a handful of districts. on the house side, state lawmakers voted to move the congressional primary

the clinton campaign hopes this endorsement from south carolina congressman jim clyburn gives hillary the edge. south carolina: "the future of the democratic party and the united states of america will be best served with the experiences and know-how of hillary clinton as our 45th president."but eight years ago -- clinton didn't have the same support. in clyburn's 2014 memoir -- he said angry bill clinton called him in the middle of the night and promised a fight. clyburn says he's endorsing the former secretary of state now because he fears a long democratic fight. the contest between clinton and sanders has become contentious. presidential candidate: "maybe it's that senator sanders wasn't really a democrat until he decided to run for president. he doesn't even know.. well it's true. it's true."sanders -- a lifelong independent -- insists he is the candidate for change. presidential candidate: "it looks to me like nevada is ready to will lead this country into a political revolution."in the hours leading up to the democratic caucuses in nevada and the south carolina primary for repu

. >> this morning at allen university, congressman jim clyburn endorsed hillary clinton to be the next president of the united states. clyburn says his decision was not an easy one. >> today, however, my head and my heart are in the same place. the few people speculated that my head was with one candidate that's not the case at all. my heart has always been with hillary clinton. >> you may remember that clyburn chose to remain neutral during the 2008 campaign refusing to endorse clinton or then senator barack obama. >> for the republicans, florida senator marco rubio continued to campaign today with governor nikki haley by his side and earlier today, representative trey gowdy and senator tim scott joined rubio and haley at the downtown marriott in columbia. rubio says if elected, he will lead america into a new golden era. >> it turned out to be a new american century, the greatest era in our history. we have a chance to be the authors of the greatest chapter in the amazing story of america and that's why i need your support tomorrow so i'm asking for your help. >> rubio is sticking ar

that's what he did in 2008 when between clyburn and former not this time. campaigns are and should be and i believe that the future of the the united states of america will be best know- how of hillary clinton as our 45th president. this endorsement is a big one for hillary. clyburn is widely considered south carolina's most influential black political figure. he's also the state's only democrat in congress. with the final hours ticking away to tomorrow's republican primary, candidates have been on that includes texas senator ted cruz he's expected to be passing through columbia in just about an hour. our mike desumma is at eagle aviation in west columbia and joins us now with more. mike. judi charles you might call this a rally and go spot for the texas senator. cruz is expected to meet with voters here at the airport before moving on. it comes on the heels of a march through the low country this morning. the texas senator was in myrtle beach --- really trying to build momentum and make the case for why he is the most electable republican candidate in this

clyburn recounted it in his memoir. he said the president called him in the middle of the night saying if you bastards want a fight, you'll damn well get one. >> everything the president does is wonderful. she loves him and he loves her. we know what that's all about. that's trying to win support with the african-american. i have enormous respect for the president. he's a friend. we have worked together. we has done a great job in many respects, but like any other human being he is wrong on certain issues. >> reporter: now the clinton campaign says it is absurd to suggest that she is embracing president obama simply to win over black voters. she says it is because she is a true democrat. that is an implicit slight against bernie sanders suggesting he's not a democrat. rally just wrapped up here in sparks, nevada, a few moments ago. one more rally and then it is on to south carolina as this democratic race continues. >> outfront, mark lamont hill. he interviewed sanders for the b.e.t. special. we have jennifer grenhelm.

well yes, i do know congressman clyburn well. i serve and was appointed by him as one of our chief deputies for the democratic caucus. jim clyburn is one of the most significant historics civil rights leaders, and really part of the conscious of the democratic caucus and the congress. and so his endorsement, his opinion, certainly is very significant in south carolina, but significant all across the country. and you know, for me, that's not a commentary on our primary per se, but certainly congressman clyburn weighing in is significant. >> you're remaining knneutral, right? >> of course. our requirement is for the dnc chair and all of our officers to remain neutral and that's all of us are remaining neutral. and we'll support the nominee and preparing very aggressively to make sure that we are ready to launch our nominee to the white house. >> i want to play a quick little snippet from that democratic presidential town hall last night. listen to this. >> i know that senator sanders has also attacked president obama. he's called h

in 2008, congressman clyburn did not endorse. he did not side with either barack obama or the clinton campaign here, so it is significant that he is endorsing tomorrow morning, erin. >> and there's also, though, this poll coming out tonight that shows hillary clinton's lead nationwide has evaporated now. her and bernie sanders in a statistical tie. bernie sanders ahead three percentage points within the margin of error. this is the first poll to show him actually in the lead, but this has got to be a concern. >> reporter: it's not that surprising that a national poll would be finding this because bernie sanders, of course, is raising so much money across the board. that's showing his broad base of national support, but the clinton campaign is focused on these contests state by state by state. the poll they're more concerned about is the poll here in nevada which shows the race absolutely tied with bernie sanders. they thought they would have a good advantage here. they thought this would be the launching pad as a sign to show she

so clyburn is sending this his heart is in the right place. as we know, our team put out a certain advantage among young blacks. if she maintains it, it will have implication with alabama, louisiana, mississippi, if clinton remains the candidate with younger and older black voters, she could run up big victory margins in the states. does she look weak if she doesn't have a definitive win out of nevada? eeking out iowa. losing in new hampshire. not a decisive, clear win today. >> i think what happens today in nevada will have an impact on south carolina. if bernie sanders wins or is a close margin loss, he will have momentum in south carolina. jim clyburn here in south carolina is twofold, one of the biggest impacts on hillary clinton's campaign. >> with him being the senior most member on the hymn, our folks, older folks will look at that as okay, i want to listen to him, because i know him, i love him. i like him. but are younger folks inclined to do that? or do they want to make up their own minds because we seen that generational divide whe

clyburn: it' and still taking place this morning. i' m now getting pressure from colleagues in the congress to take a stand. i' ve spent the last weekend with family and friends discussing this. my wife has made it very clear to me that her friends want me to take a stand. and they want to know before what stand i' m going to take and why. and that' s where the pressure' s coming from. i can resist even my colleagues in the congress but i don' t know if i can resist my wife of 54 years. [laughter] fernando: alright, congressman, thank you so much for joining me today. south carolina democrats will get a chance to vote for their nominee in the primary next saturday. >> coming up next. muslim workers praying on the job. >> i never had anybody make it to practice their faith? onon survive partisan politics? fernando: we all work alongside colleagues who hold strong religious and cultural beliefs. social media pointed us to one workplace at a wisconsin meat packing plant. it raises the question: what is a reasonable accommodation of reli

presidential hopeful hillary clinton has just been endorsed by representative jim clyburn. >> that's right. representative clyburn the highest ranking black member of the house of representatives made the announcement this morning. clyburn saying in that announcement at allen university that he admitted to knowing and working with both sanders and clinton but he says the next president needs to be a fighter. shoes he believes hillary can fill as commander in chief. >> this comes a day after hillary clinton and bernie sanders took the stage in las vegas for a town hall before saturday's caucuses in nevada. during that town hall, clinton to the democratic party. accusing sanders of attacking president barack obama and her husband, former president bill clinton. these are claims, though, saers denies. >> and reminder for everyone who is taking part in the republican presidential primary. it is tomorrow, the democratic presidential primary will take place next saturday, february 27th with all of this information on our website at abccolumbia.com and we'll also have live updates throughou

clyburn: well, it's a very close primary nationwide. i don't think it's quite as close here in south carolina. there's no question that you have two very viable candidates. they are appealing to voters, certainly generationally, but i think that from what i saw this morning, it's going to be a very brisk turnout and i hope that we republican and democrat primaries. i think my voters are concerned about closing the income inequality gap that exists in this country. you have to be a bit touched in the head if you don't realize that there is a significant, and i think, a dangerous income inequality gap in this country. my voters are concerned about whether programs are in place that are going to help restore the last wealth. the fact that so many people in so many communities -- the built was home ownership, and when you have a destruction of the homeownership, then all of a sudden you have a recovery only being experienced by the investor class. and people who lost their homes and their wealth, and nothing is being put in place for them t

south carolina congressman jim clyburn endorsed hillary clinton for president today. clyburn, the highest-ranking african-american in congress, made the announcement at allen university in columbia. rep. clyburn: but in spite of how it may sound sometimes, campaigns are and should be about the future. and i believe that the future of the democratic party and the united states of america will be best served with the experiences as our 45th president. gabrielle: south carolina's democratic primary is next saturday, february 27. nigel: now to the weather. let's take a live look outside at what is happening right now, through our woodruff road sky cam, it is friday and people are heading home. gabrielle: and the sun is shining, so can't complain. john cessarich i iin the studio tracking the latest. is it going to be a nice evening? john: absolutely. if you are heading out anywhere, it will be in good shape. increasing clouds from the northwest. this weekend will get interesting. i will talk about more interest the second. 45 in boone in the chilly spot. but most people re

it is an uphill climb. >> jim clyburn, congressman clyburn being introduced to the crowd. obviously as we were just talking about him, instrumental. we'll keep the conversation going. >> one difference between them is when hillary clinton gets geared up, she does this interpersonal campaigning does very well. she goes into the venues, connects with people. that is not bernie sanders. he gives eloquent speeches, inspiring speeches about -- particularly about economics. but he generally leaves after that. he's not a guy who works the room the way she does. >> in the south, that's really important. >> i agree with that. that's my point. >> it is easier to build on a win than a loss. >> and hillary clinton gets more comfortable campaigning. we have seen that. and i think it will continue. >> the whole argument has been that bernie sanders isn't electable. she wasn't able to prove that decisively until this nevada/south carolina push. there just wasn't evidence that he wasn't electable out of iowa. he was close in new hampshire. now i think she gets to prove to her democratic v

>>> jim clyburn says hillary clinton is right that there is a double standard for her and he makes his case outfront. a big name and a possible nominee for the supreme court. can republicans afford to say no or did they just get outfoxed by president obama? my computer's dying again. you'll need to email us so we can issue you a ticket. but you're right here. it's protocol. or, you can try staples tech services next day guarantee. it's fast and done right. i'll do that instead. that's not protocol marsha. in by noon, out by 5 the next day. staples. make more happen. think of it as a seven seat for an action packed thriller. two words: it heals.e different? how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you. then your eyes may see it, differently.ave allergies. only flonase is approved to relieve both your itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray can say that.

endorsement, i guess according to clyburn. as he told reporters, sanders never asked me for an endorsement, so i never considered giving one. that's pretty hardball. i'm joineded by two gentlemen, thank you for joining us. i was looking over the numbers, congressman, i noticed in places like georgia, a large african-american electorate, strong support for hillary clinton, and i just wonder, when it takes years and years to gain the trust of the african-american community, it seems to me, it's very hard to be a challenger, what do you make of that supposition. >> it is years and years. you're right. years and years of trust and a familiarity. and so you know, you ask the question earlier, is bernie going to close the gap. it's going to narrow everything. that's why we call them races, but in the end, people are going to vote with the person they feel most comfortable with. i mean, she has been a fighting democratic for decades. he just got into the democratic party last year. that causes people to take pause. i said earlier in

he knows congressman clyburn very well. what do you make of the fact of the way he said he had to put his neutrality aside, and he noted that it was just recently that he admitted his heart and head were in deplaces and he's come along now. what do you make of the transition? >> the congressman downplayed how effective his wife can be, how persuasive emily clyburn can be. i have heard from a number of folks that she has been a hillary clinton fan for some time. and she got in his ear along with one of his three daughters, one of his daughters, of course, is an fcc commissioner. another daughter is a school teacher there in columbia. and he was under a fair amount of family pressure to throw his hat in the ring, so to speak. here's the thing about congressman clyburn. not only is today's endorsement a big deal for a host of reasons that have already been discussed. congressman clyburn doesn't endorse presidential candidates. even when barack obama caught fire, the little known senator from illinois back in 2008, and they wer

clyburn says while he respects sanders, he believes clinton has more policy as former secretary of state. sanders tells me he respects clintononut he says his track record shows he would rather protect our troops versus them serving as the policemen of the world. he tells me if he elected he will do everything he can to keep troops out of the fighting in the middle east.
