i'm wondering why that's different from any other week? >> that's true. it is sort of like groundhog day all over again every week. part of it the fact that not a lot of people are investing right now and vacation is happening. >> summer doldrums, low volume. >> not one factor driving the market. you see everybody kind of trying to make their money quickly. we see choppy, we mean bounce around quickly. >> fewer stocks being traded, you're likely to see more volatility. there's nothing -- we had jobs and had the fed announcement that didn't turn out to be anything. >> europe. >> european central bank. >> this week it's end of summer. >> good to see you. >> today marks the 57th anniversary of the voting rights act. signed into law by president lyndon b. johnso on august 6th, 1965. >> the vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man. for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible laws which imprison men because they are different than other men. today what is perhaps the last of the legal barriers is tumbling and there will be many actions and many difficulties before the rights would haven into law are also woven into the fabric of our nation. >> with america's first black president up for re-election, the conversation about voting rights has been reignited. 30 states are currently enforcing some type of voter i.d. law which many civil rights advocates say is an effort to suppress the minority vote. joining me are martin luther king iii and oldest son of dr. martin luther king jr. and young who helped draft the voting rights acts. he is issuing an open letter to america today to mark the date. you were there to witness history and present for the signing. america, we're wondering whether it has made any progress. what do you think the challenges are or continue to be? >> we've made enormous progress but what happens is we still don't have the majority of americans participating in the election. less than a third of the american population will even bother to vote. and there's something wrong with that. that -- the voting rights problem has been replaced by financial problems. and that now it's not who has the most votes but who gets the most money. and that has totally distorted our problem. and we need to are advise revoting rights act to do something more along the order of our european or israeli friends, they make voting mandatory and vote on weekends when everybody can vote. and america can't be -- i think we're number 139 in terms of percentage turnout of democratic nations. and we're supposed to be the leader of the free world. >> there is a lot of apath. mr. king, if you can tell me about the effort now, what you're doing. what it's all about and why we should care. why are we talking about this this morning? >> my dad used to say a voteless people is powerless people. one of the most important steps we could take is the short step to the ballot box. as ambassador young said, out of 170 plus countries we're number 138. that is unacceptable. we have to find a way to make sure access and opportunity is available for all people and by virtue of the fact there are nearly 30 states or a little more who passed laws that might be perceived as restricting voting. i'm kind of disappointed that 47 years after the voting rights was signed on this day, that there may be some americans who may not be able to vote because what is perceived as restrictions. part of what we're doing is a campaign to educate and inform the public. and this is not partisan. this is about one party. this is not about a candidate. this is far bigger than any candidate. this is for every american to be able to participate and have access in this most important process that my dad and others gave their lives so that we may have. >> mr. king, you were talking about these restrictive voter i.d. laws so i want to put information up for viewers. it's a recent study for brandon center for justice, in ten states that passed restrictive voter i.d. laws since 2008, it could be more difficult for as many as 5 million voters to cast their ballot. what is the reaction to the claims about voter suppression? >> i just turned 80 years old, born in new orleans. now they tell me when i want to get my driver's license renewed, i have to have a whole raft of the papers. i'm not sure i know where the papers are and can't go back to new orleans to get them. it's more and more cumbersome to vote. and that's not the direction in which a democracy should be moving. >> you have this awesome perspective, congratulations on the 80 years of age. do you think that having an african-american president is actually reigniting these old prejudices? >> i would rather say that we have a very divided nation on the way in which we should go. and frankly, i think we would have that divided nation if everybody was the same color. and so i would rather keep color out of it and say, which direction do we want the country to move in. and i think the same thing is true with voting rights. voting rights was a racial problem in 1965. now it's a problem of voter participation for the elderly, for young, for college students and the difficulties that make our voteless and less important because of the billions of dollars that are going into elections, we will spend more money per vote orn this election than any other election in our history. the next president, whomever that is, needs to change that and make it possible for a citizens vote to count. next year on august the 6th, we hope to be in washington talking to the next president about straightening out this voting procedure once and for all. first of all, it ought not be on a tuesday in november. chris rock says if you want to have a party and don't want anybody to come, have it on a tuesday in november. but we can vote on weekends. many countries vote on weekends and they get 80, 90 turnout. it's embarrassing for america to have less than a third of the people and usually that means that about 15% of the people elect the president. and he doesn't have a mandate, whoever he is, because you've got so many people frustrated on the other side because they did not have a place and did not have a voice. we've got to give every american a voice in the election of our president. >> i'm sorry to interrupt you, i know you don't want to break this down along racial nes. mr. king, i want to bring you into this election. in 2008 president obama took the black vote and right now he is crushing romney among black voters, 87 to 5%. there are concerns about the african-american turnout. do you think the low turnout could hurt the president? >> well, think the low turnout does not just impact the president, it impacts the whole process. and the reality is the goal should be to create the climate for everyone to participate. as ambassador young has said, to make it as easy as possible, not to make it as complicate d as possible. maybe those as immigrants cannot vote. the goal is to make sure everyone has access. >> ambassador andrew young, martin luther king iii, thank you for joining us, we appreciate the dialogue and perspective. >> andrew young, not only 80 years oelds, delta has named a plane after him to celebrate his 80th birthday. he's a great atlanta and georgia presence. >> usain bolt sprints into olympic history. this guy can run! >> really? >> it was incredible. >> and fast. >> we'll talk to former olympian bob beeman about the incredible race as long as his own long-standing record in the long jump. you know him from "extreme makeover home edition." how ty pennington is getting republicans and democrats involved. bea bea beam welcome back, the fbi in denver says a suicidal person who made threats against oil and gas sites in western colorado is in custody. investigators can be conducting sweeps of a refinery and surrounding area and haven't found public safety issues. a s.w.a.t. team during a hostage situation in california, two workers at the sporting goods show near sacramento were held captive for four hours by an armed suspect. the man tried to rob the store but a manager was able to call 911. they talked him out in the end. truman's grandson will attend ceremonies marking hiroshima and go to ceremonies in nagasaki on thursday. it is the first time a member of truman's family will attend ceremonies in japan. jamaica's usain bolt proving once again he's the mafastest m in the world. shattering the record, 9.63 seconds. watch very closely. >> usain bolt trying to come down. tyson gay, here's bolt, usain bolt explodes and still the king of the 100! >> he's number one. >> look at that. >> bolt may have the newest olympic record but bob beamon has the oldest. one of the greatest olympic moments of all time, seeming to defy physics he jumped 8.9 meters. >> that's more than 29 feet. >> his shoes touched the ground he set an olympic record that still stands today. >> i have trouble to getting to 29 feet on a ladder. >> bob beamon is live from london with us. so happy to have you. thank you very much. of course, we've got to talk about that crazy record-breaking speed of usain bolt. he obviously is the greatest sprinter in history. what were you thinking when you saw him? >> well, i just think that once in a blue moon, we get someone with some amazing and astonishing speed. the first that i can say would be jesse owens and then you have the carl lewis and now you have the usain bolt. every now and then we get a blessing of fantastic athletes doing something extraordinarily well and usain has done it again with 9.63. >> we know these are supposed to be the best athletes in the world. they train relentlessly. when you look at that kind of thing and look at your jump. how much of that is just you? there's got to be some absolute inate natural ability that people can never train to attain. >> for myself, i had an incredible day october 18th, 1968, where my horizontal and vertical just met and it was so compatible. i couldn't have it better at a better day. it happened at the olympic games. and the olympic games is somewhat kind of a mind over matter. so we go in with some of the greatest athletes, sometimes come out with absolutely nothing in their hand. but for some strange reason for the last eight years, this is four years have gone by and usain bolt has come up with incredible speed and breaking the olympic record. for some reason my record is still standing as actually the distance, 2 feet away, what they jumped a couple of days ago, 2 feet away from where i jumped eight meters. >> how cool is that? to know nobody has broken your record? >> that's pretty cool but you know what, maybe i need to come out of retirement and bring some excitement, you know? >> he says my horizontal and vertical just met that day. i would love that to happen to me one day. >> let's look at some events coming ahead. track and field events to come. looking for a gold in the women's pole vaulting final today. which athletes do you have your eye on? >> it's kind of for the women's pole vault, it's been quite a different ride for me because when i competed in 1968, there was no such thing. and so i'm standing right now in amazement and trying to say, wow, how can these gals go over that distance and at one point, those jumps are at one time was for men in the olympics that only jumped that distance back in the early 40s or the early '30s. this is a new event, that's been in play for just a couple of olympics. and so i'm going to be watching it myself because i'm waiting for the next woman to jump 17 feet. >> no kidding. you talk about things that have changed since you've been there. oscar pistorius, the south african runner, the first double amputee to obviously the subject of a lot of interest at the games. he failed to qualify for the 400 meters yesterday. what were you thinking about that? >> well, i didn't see the event but however, i think it's quite an accomplishment that we have someone that has a handicap that can compete in the regular games. i think that is an absolutely outstanding. that gives hope for the younger ones that are coming along that say i have every great opportunity like this gentleman to be an olympic champion too. >> that was pretty impressive. qualified or not, the fact he's in that race. zoraida and i both got in on flights really late last night and trying to perk each other up because we didn't get much sleep. the rule at the olympics no hanky panky the night before, no trouble,on't do thinks -- >> i can't believe he's going there. >> when you were -- when you won your gold medal, what did you do the night before? >> well, i just enjoyed the night. got myself ready mentally and physically and got myself ready. i think the good word is don't worry, be happy. >> didn't break any of your own rules the night before? >> no, as i said, i thought about don't worry, be happy. because i felt so good the next day, it was just really a wonderful night. >> words to live by. don't worry, be happy. bob beamon, thank you so much. nice to have you with us this morning. >> the news you heard here, he may come out of retirement to beat his own record. we were both out -- there was big traffic in new york and we were both in different cities which is a risky business doing a morning show. we're totally into it now after talking to an olympian. comingup, the rnc, republican national committee, announces the speakers lineup for the convention. does the speakers' lineup give you any insight into who his running mate will be. the shooting rampage, army veteran described as a
