[applause] i will take some questions and -- i guess i will repeat them so c-span audience can hear them. any questions? yes? >> did other white sox players, did they know about it? >> weaver never took any money. the question is who got what amount of money and cicotte got the most that we know of. he got $10,000. the others all got $5,000. weaver got nothing because he would not agree to it. but he sat in on two meetings. gandil says that weaver wanted the money up front.

as the missing link between charles dickens book it just come out on the origin of species in 1959. this was 1960. he started exhibiting this man. this man johnson. putting in a pursuit. it was just awful. one of the things that was interesting was when he was exhibited there, the white man was upfront telling his story telling him how vaping found in africa or something. in the background, this man would sort of be mocking the white guy. and kind of saying that don't really believe this. this is not really what's going on. it was sort of messed up in some way i guess. and barnum clearly was probably encouraging that he ended up building a house for this man in bridgeport. they were friends for the remainder of barnum's life. he went on to be exhibited in a be seen by a hundred million people. and into the around 1920. this another one that is sort of hard to sort of think about. i just leave you with one quick image though. late in barnum's life, he got involved with the circus in the late 1870s. in the late 1880s, ambani, james bailey was the genius behind the circus, took the circus to england. they exhibited, showed in a big building called

charles payne, walter williams. it's not funny to them because every single day -- >> dana: i have a statement from robert johnson, whoounded bet, if i could read that. he goes to what you're talking about. he wrote "vice president biden's statement today represents the arrogance and out of touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell black people, the descendants of slaves, that they are not black and less they vote for him. this proves unequivocally that the democratic nominee believes that black people owe him their vote without question, even though we as black people know it's exactly the opposite. he should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every black person he meets." dan bongino, let's get your take on this. there's been some comments. there was a video put out echoing the comment that robert johnson just put out. >> dan: i am tired of having to take this fictitious high road. if we as conservatives, libertarians, if we come out and say we know joe biden is not a racist and that's not a racist comment and it was just a gaffe, that that somehow the woke left is goi

republican senators ron johnson and lindsey graham as wellus pushing ahead on subpoenas as part of their investigation in the trump russia probe, origins of it, and targets of flynn, but charless attacking republicans saying they are chasing wild conspiracy theories and distracting from covid-19 outbreak, we welcome former independent counsel ken starr. is this true? >> i don't think so. it is about time we found out all of the facts. let the facts come out, then let's assess the facts, we don't need too jump to conclusions, this is silly, political rhetoric, much to be expected. but let's find out what happened. once and fore all. elizabeth: because you don't want it to happen again, americans should not have it happen again. >> at every stage something went wrong, transmissio transition,se e-mail is troubles, mike flynn interview troubles, and charges against flynn, troubles, behavior of judge sullivan now, extremely troubling, we need everything out, first let me say, we need to get the charges against general flynn dismissed. this is a tragedy with all due respect to judge sullivan -- we need to get everything out on the table, and analyze it and close the chapter on a ve

across the u.k., there have been ceremonies, prince charles laying a wreath on the half of queen elizabeth, boris johnson at downing street, going to see president trump soon commemorating the dead and there have been celebrations across the u.k. including by the aerobatic team and by world war ii vintage spitfires, but moving forward, it changes from remembering the dead to celebrating that victory. again at social distance levels have been allowed by the police and people encouraged to celebrate. i hate came after six long years of war when the finally surrendered and millions lost their lives including over a quarter million americans in europe and africa alone. he couldn't have happened without them. when the u.s. came in and turn the tide of that war, 75 years ago today, king george the second gave her a radio address to the nation and exactly 75 years after that tonight, his daughter queen elizabeth the second will do the same giving us a live broadcast, but it is a poignant moment, and you can't ignore the parallels. the world is uniting to fight an evil at the moment and you have to look back to

last week boris johnson said we have now passed the peak of deaths in coronavirus cases, but the ceo of the nightingale, charlesey will be ready for the possibility that the number of covid—i9 case could rise again, if and when the government eases social distancing measures. so they will be ready for that when it happens. italy is easing its national lockdown today — the world's longest since the start of the pandemic. takeaways and parks are reopening, funerals can resume and some businesses are restarting. but the shutdown has left deep scars in a country with already serious economic problems, as our correspondent mark lowen reports. italy is starting to reopen, but champion pizza maker teresa iorio can't. with new rules only allowing takeaway for now, she'll need more time to adapt and after eight weeks of lockdown, she's taken such a financial hit that her business will struggle to survive. translation: it would be better to die than not reopen, because it would kill my dreams for which i've sacrificed my life. it would be losing my livelihood, because my life is my work. i open the shutters in the mornin

boris johnson, you could see there was initially some resistance, but they couldn't go against that major avalanche of pr. maybe next time they would choose a different route? >> oh, i think so. charless good to be with you. real quick i saw in your previous segment that you said you won't be supporting biden. i want you to know i will be reporting you to the proper authorities. i want to get that out of the way first. [laughter] charles: i have to, man. it is my civic duty, you know. but i think trump's instincts here are correct, and i think the way you laid that out was correct, which was there was such a pr campaign, such a mainstream media move on this, and i'm not even saying people overblew it. we may have flattened the curve properly and all the estimates are now way lower, but the issue is the economy, obviously, at this point. we cannot have 30 million people out of work. people need to put food on their family's tables as the therapist mentioned in the lead into this. it is like people are actually breaking out of routines. they don't even know how to live. we're not supposed to live like hamsters just trapped in our apartments and our houses. so i think trump's instinct s
