education to black children in america, and it began operating in 1760 to teach mostly enslaved children in williamsburgginia. that building discovered to be still standing in 2020, and they are now tracing how it planted the seed for black scholarships. how that community is now in the process of working to restore the school. you can see that story on the "today" show. that's at 7:00, right here after "today in the bay." >>> we have more wet weather moving across the bay area, and it's not going to be over anytime soon. ahead at 6:30, kari is tracking how long the storm is sticking around and the tiny brief breaks we will get ahead of the weekend. >>> plus, we're live in daly city with what is very clearly damage from yesterday's storm. take a look at that. a tree has come crashing down on to that apartment complex. we will have more details on what happened after the break. stay with us. you're watching "today in the bay." two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and

i mean, if you lived in a city like boston or new york, maybe williamsburg, you might have gone for like dancing lessons or music lessons or something like that. you know, there was among protestants generally a are an attachment associate with literacy, a strong predisposition in favor of literacy because of the need to read the bible. it's really interesting. a lot of girls were taught to read, but not to write. the idea being, you know, like, oh it's important for you to read the bible, but it's really important for you to express yourself in any way. she knew how to write, least to the extent that she could sign her name. the petitions would have been written by clerks. but we know that she had that. she had a signature or so no, i mean, we know nothing about her education. but again, the fact that her children also appear to have been literate suggests that she was educated enough to teach them because they also not going to school. growing up, the very rustic area in which they grew up, particularly since most of them up during wartime. so she would have been responsible for teachi

control of portrait image and chokepoints and had a group appear from a data which is based out of williamsburg, and they release a report about where the chinese are looking for basis behind that is a very rich decade plus research and financial forensics as they control almost 100 ports located throughout the world. no surprise to many of the sports are near the chokepoints. they have the ships. they also have the ports. so it's just a matter of the chinese, as part of deciding to turn the screws on is to basically sanction the united states. so in many respects the tables could be turned where we have been the sanction, we could be the sanctioned in the future. >> yeah and this event i mean those who have studied it, this is not a pretty picture. we know what happened in sri lanka port was that the promise which is if you look at the flow of shifting from the middle east through the indian ocean to the moroccan straight, that is absolute key terrain. but it's been part and parcel for how the ccp has very unfairly, wrongly in violation of wto, tenet. but just case in point, three ports on the

williamsburg county is another big one.es that i think we are going to be looking at tonight, and there's a whole bunch of them kind of in this region right here. when you get to the -- south carolina, very low black population especially up near clemson in the mountains, that were clemson university is, where greenville is, spartanburg, not much in way of -- york county, comparatively speaking -- charlotte metro area, very little in -- where myrtle beach is. charleston, it's about 24% african american. so really, it is this area in here. and i think we have these counties with majority black, large black populations. and i think that is where we look for that for not question. >> and then one other question for you steve. i know that in south carolina, veterans are a big demographic in south carolina. should we expect him to be more of a factor in the republican primary? or could we see them as a factor in the. democratic primary? >> yet typically i think leaning a bit more republican. and i think again especially in the y

according to everything i'm reading, he got on top of the train and then it was going over the bridge, the williamsburgt some sort of a pole. so, how does the mta avoid that. i know they started these psas, many people have seen the psas all over the new york area. at the beginning of last year five people died because of this. then they started running those psas in september and one person died since they started releasing those. >> the mom is saying they should lock the door to these train cars. they shouldn't be able to go train car to train cars. for safety reasons, is the mta allowed to do that? >> here i think the mta is going to be the least liable. i liken it to this. if you are driving your car 100 miles per hour when you shouldn't be driving your car 100 miles per hour and you hit a tree, it's not the car's fault and it's not the tree's fault, right? and in a case like this, and i hate to say it because i'm heart broken for this mother. when you do an activity that it just so obviously dangerous and frankly stupid, who is to blame for it? i think there's a better shot at finding liability ag

williamsburg county is another big one.are going to be looking at tonight, and there's a whole bunch of them kind of in this region right here. when you get to the up country of south carolina, very low black population especially up near clemson in the mountains, that were clemson university is, where greenville is, spartanburg, not much in way of the black population in york county, comparatively speaking -- charlotte metro area, very little in -- where myrtle beach is. charleston, it's about 24% african american. so really, it is this area in here. and i think we have these counties with majority black, large black populations. and i think that is where we look for that for the turn out question. >> and then one other question for you steve. i know that in south carolina, veterans are a big demographic in south carolina. should we expect him to be more of a factor in the republican primary? or could we see them as a factor in the. democratic primary? >> yeah, typically i think leaning a bit more republican. and i think a

republican, debbie, williamsburg are next. >> caller: good morning.furiated at the republicanbl maga section of the political party right now. they represent a portion of the base of the republican people but they don't represent the majority of it. i am aggravated that the politics with trump is keeping the voters from realizing the potential for -- brexit if they can truly represent the republican people. republican congress that we have is not representing the people. they arere representing congres. it's not fair to us. i'm on the verge of saying they all broke their oath of office and should be impeached, because they are not representing the people, and it's time that we understand that and look for the truth of what's going on in this, election. >> host: debbie, you ought republican who supports nikki haley. do you think she will make it long enough innk the primary season for you to have a chance to vote on her in ohio? >> caller: why should we have to wait for her to make it to be of representative of us when we can't even push trump to the s

. >> hello, i am a sophomore economics major in management and organization mina from williamsburg, virginia. my question is, what are the federal reserve's observations or analyses regarding the current trends in reduced consumer spending and how does it impact economic indicators and the feds monetary policy consideration? chair powell: consumer has been very strong. it has been surprisingly strong. people couldn't spend money on trips and restaurants and bars and things like that because it was covid and everyone was staying home, so they saved money. also, the government gave checks to people to make them whole and replace their lost income and that kind of thing. people, particularly people who were income constrained, had much larger piles of savings than they had before the pandemic. there was always this thought that that would get spent down, so this very strong spending we had in 2021 and 2022 would ultimately go away. what is amazing is how strong consumer spending has continued to be. that may well be -- you do see credit card are owing going up. you see defaults going up, so we

that mark and i were just saying it's just great to see everybody gathered together in our beautiful williamsburg style forum room. we want to thank c-span for being with us today. and so if you enjoy this sort of like a holiday movie that you never tire seen over and over again, feel free to watch numerous times. we want to welcome everyone in person as well as those who are watching online live and those who will be watching our archive version as well as those who will watch on c-span. we are here today, of course, with my colleague, professor marc selverstone, to speak about his new book, which is titled the kennedy withdrawal. the subtitle is camelot and the american commitment to vietnam is published by harvard university, has just been published this fall, and it is available in the foir today for purchase and signing. they make a perfect holiday gift and you will even get an inscription and a signature from mark. mark is a historian here at the miller center, where he also chairs our presidential recordings program. and i'm not only happy to call him a colleague, but a friend. and speakin

he did get 70% in williamsburg. a give you all counties. one of the largest buck populations in the state. aileen county, nearly 70% of the vote. there are a whole bunch of counties in the middle area of the state, that we will be looking at. in terms of bigger counties, this is the biggest and they stay. this is the state capital. this is about 50% black by population. you see biden here ran a little bit better then he did statewide and 2020. again, we are waiting right now. i was hoping in the course of my meandering filibuster here, one of the counties with light up, because i think arsonist we get a result, it would be very telling. again, south carolina, it's a little, typically the returns, the first half hour are slow, but you typically get reports from one or two counties. that might give us a sense of what is going on in south carolina, tonight. >> i want to say a caveat that we all say to you, don't go too far away. obviously, as soon as we get the results, we'll come back to get to make more sense of. it's the kornacki at the big
