also known as race-norming.id it make you feel to see the nfl appealing that, saying, well, maybe the right standards weren't applied? >> it hurts, because i know what i deal with. >> it's sad. let's be clear. who is really keeping the nfl dollars in? it's these black players. it's 70% black. so to make it harder for these men to receive the benefits that they so rightfully deserve is really disappointing and extremely sad. >> reporter: some doctors use race to make assumptions about a patient's background. supposedly helping them make better diagnoses. but the practice is coming under increasing scrutiny, from critics who believe it can lead to discrimination. the league says the doctors were supposed to use it at their own discretion on a case-by-case basis, that it's recommended and not required. but when one of lewis' clinicians did not adjust his scores to account for race, the league objected. >> i just wondered, how many other players have had the same experience? and unfortunately, the nfl hasn't come cl

one of the advantages, just because it's not a legally binding norm, does not mean that it's not a norm, and does not mean that you cannot call somebody out for violating that norm. nor does it mean that you can't take potential action if an actor is not complying with that particular norm. in some cases, you may even have more flexibility to react in those kinds of situations precisely because it's not a legally binding agreement. and then lastly, i would just add that with all of these kinds of norms, even when certain actors violate those norms, they often paid a price for doing so and in today's social media environment or media environment, whatever you want to call it, where so much depends on the narrative, who is doing the right thing, and who is not doing the right thing, it can still be useful, a useful way to put diplomatic and public pressure on malign actors. >> and not a lawyer, it seems to me this has to be a lot more clear and hoping that one of our adversaries will get shamed on social media does not seem like an effective strategy here. general, i have a question for y

norm. and does not mean that you cannot call somebody out for violating that norm. nor doesn't mean that you cannot take potential action, if an actor is not complying with that particular norm. in some cases you may have more flexibility to react in those kinds of situations, precisely precisely because it is not a legally binding arena. and lastly i would just, with all of these kinds of norms, even when sir certain actors violate those norms, they pay a price off and for doing so. in today's social media environment, or whatever you want to call it, so much depends on the narrative of who is doing the right thing, and who is not doing the right thing. and that could still be useful and you know to put diplomatic and public pressure on maligned actors. >> i'm one of the few members of congress who is not a lawyer, but it seems to me this has to be a lot more clear. and hoping that one of our adversaries will be shamed on social media, does not seem like an effective strategy here. general

and the norms were followed through. in those four years of the trump administration. >> i want to ask you if we can maybe talk about the specifics and positions you had when you serve in government. our listeners are our watchers who have served the government will understand the roles that each of you serve but maybe some of our audience don't so i wondered if you'd each talk about the position you held in the executive branch and maybe if you could specifically talk about how that role touches on the white house doj relations and why don't we go in the order iintroduced the speakers . we will start with judge hagel. >> bromley, the attorney general overseas the defensive cases. to which the united states is a party or where the views of the united states have been asked for my the supreme court or another court. and that was the one situation i described in which i had someinteraction with the white house . it's been myexperience that it's the easy one . there are other oversight of federal law enforcement agents can

but if they do not act according to international norms, guess what. not on the comet would not happen with other nations. he kind of talked about that, didn't he, today? the need to reach out to other countries to invest in russia. they won't. as long as they are convinced that, in fact, the violations, the american businessman who was in house arrest and i pointed out, you want to get american business to invest, let him go. change the dynamic. because american businessman, they are not ready to show up, they don't want to hang around in moscow. look, guys, i know we make foreign—policy out to be this great, great skill, that somehow it's sort of like a secret code, all foreign—policy is a logical extension of personal relationship. it is the way human nature functions. and understand that when you run a country, that doesn't abide by international norms and yet you need those international norms to be somehow managed so you can participate in the benefit, it hurt you. that is not a satisfying answer — "biden said he would invade russia", by the way,

a good norm. maybe that is part of what is going on with the iconoclasm. but yes, just to say they've been there in the social sciences and politicized areas for a while it's certainly accelerating now but if you look at what is brought up i don't know if i pronounced the name right but it's kind of anthropologist kind of doing work it's certainly not a new phenomenon but it's accelerating and we need to be more weary about it. >> i'm afraid we are nearing the end of the time for today. thank you very much. you have written an excellent andel powerful book and it wille a resource for people trying to think clearly how we improve our society and our politics. to everyone in the audience i encourage you to go out and purchase why it's okay to speak your mind. thank you to everyone for your time and thoughtful messages. if you would like to hear more conversations or you are interested in supporting the mission i would encourage you to subscribe to the newsletters or consider making a donation. there

the long-standing norms around speech? it's almost that natural iconoclasm for the purpose of an enriching the comments that might now be turning against the norms of free speech. >> we had this broad norm of free speech over time and now the kind of contrary and take. that is part of what is going on with the iconoclasm. but just to say some of these incentives have been there in the social sciences and certain politicized areas for a while that is not a new thing. it's certainly accelerating now. but if you look at this kind of anthropologist that suffered blowback for doing work people didn't like. it's certainly not a new phenomenon that it is accelerating and we need to be more weary about it. >> i am afraid we are nearing the end of our time for today. thank you. you have written an excellent powerful book and i think that it will be a resource for people thinking clearly of how we improve our society and hopefully our politics. to everyone in the audience i encourage you to go out and purchase why it's okay to speak

attorneys as they have the right to do and replacing the norm. if somebody was or wasn't doing a job properly was a huge mistake and was in the bush administration. >> yeah, if i could briefly follow up. in the book that i wrote with jack, we talk about that investigation and the report that nora danahe produced and that was the substance of her conclusions about where the legal lines lay was adopted by the obama administration and delivered to congress in a letter, notice to congress in a letter. we actually think that out to become more formal guidance on these issues. so that is -- i'm glad you brought that up. >> i have one last question for the group. this may take us to the end so apologize to those of you who have submitted written questions. but our discussion has been historical for the most part. we have one or two brief mentions about the current administration and the policy prepared by the biden white house council's office. but i did want to ask as the current administration has been in place over five months and now had the attorne

so, is this a question of the breakdown of professional norms?skeptical when we are reading papers published in sociology journals reading papers and chemistryry journals? >> sociology or other fields that are adjacent to policy -- is a great paper from 1994 where if you kinda propose a certain thesis in sociology i economics, but reactions what kind of sociologist or what kind of a communist would argue something like that? there is a kind of tendency to attend the character ofra someone who may be proposes a thesis that may be the majority in the field don't helike. which is not there and summing like physics. so if you're working in sociology or various fields are going to think twice before you say i don't want people to attack my character. i'm just going to not look into this issue. on going to say, with my peers would like to hear in some of this issue. when a community wants to reach a particular conclusion an instructor does not instruct us to get to that conclusion, then we can't really be confident. i kind of take that argument from la

norms around speech? here it's almost a natural iconoclasm for the purpose if an enriching the academic commons might not be turning against cherished normal free speech. >> right, right so we have had free speech over time and now it said contrary intake like maybe it's not a good norm. maybe that's part of what's going on with the cnoc was him but yeah but just to say some of the bad incentives have been there in the social sciences or certain oocytes areas. it's not a new thing. it certainly is accelerating now but if you look at you know one case that is brought up was i don't know if i pronounced his name right but he was an anthropologist and he suffered low back for blowback for doing things that people didn't like. it's certainly not a new phenomenon but it's exhilarating so we need to be more wary about it. >> hrishikesh we are toward the end of our time for the day. thank you very much. you've written an excellent powerful book and it will be a force for people trying to think clearly about how

so norm, you take it from there. and this is a man and an administration, as andrew tickles the point, where they bang deep state. they bang guys like you and mccabe. you deep state people who have been around government, you abuse the process for political power, that's what you do, have you ever seen a more example than this? >> chris, it's the naked abuse of power for revenge, retaliation and destruction. you can draw a straight line through from trump's comments, russia if you're listening, abuse as you'll be mightily awarded, abuses as a candidate, to abuses in office. we're finding out more what went on. and, you know, the capacity -- we should not lose our capacity to be shocked about this, but we also should ask what can we do to make sure that people face consequences, starting with a challenge to bill barr, legal ethics he should not any longer be allowed to have his law license. and how can we change it so this never happens again in america. >> andrew, do you have an answer to that question? is part of th

that's the norm. but then getting into question about what some it was a wasn't doing the job properly i i thk it's a huge mistake and was in the bush administration. >> if i could briefly follow-up. in the book we talk about that investigation and the report that nora produced or goes ultimately by the way substance of her conclusions about where the legal lines lay was ultimately adopted by the obama administration to deliver to congress in a letter, notice to coast and a letter. we think that ought to be considered more formal guidance on these issues. i'm glad you brought that up. >> i have one last question for the group. this just may take us to the in so i apologize to those of you have submitted written questions. but our discussion has been historical for the most part. we had one or two brief mentions about current administration. making the context policy, prepared by the biden white house counsel office. i do want to ask the current administration has been in place over five months. now ha

if they violate these basic norms, we will respond. number two, i think the last thing he wants now is a cold war. without quoting him which i don't think it is appropriate. -- i don't think is appropriate. you have a multi thousand mile border with china. china is seeking to be the most powerful economy in the world, the largest, most powerful military in the world. you're in a situation where the economy is struggling. you need to move it in a more aggressive way. i don't think he is looking for a cold war with the united states. as i said to him, i said your generation and mine are about 10 years apart. this is not a kumbaya moment where we say let's hug and love each other but it is clearly not in anybody's interest, your country or mine. to be in a situation where we are in a new cold war. that does not mean he is ready to lay down his arms and say come on. he is still as concerned about being encircled. he is concerned that we are looking to take him down. he still has those concerns but i don't think they are the driving force o

i don't have any problem with doing business with russia as long as they do it based. national norms is our interest to see the russian people do well? economically, i don't have a problem with that, but if they do not act according to national norms, then guess what? that will not want to happen with us. not happening with other nations. and he kind of talked about that, didn't you today about how the need to reach out other countries to invest in russia. they will, as long as they can, are convinced that in fact the, the violations, for example, the american businessman, who was in house arrest. and i pointed out, you want to get american business, the invest, let him go change the dynamic. because american, businessman, they're not, we're ready to show up. they don't want to hang around and moscow. i look guys, i know we make foreign policy out to be this great, great skill. and somehow is sort of like a secret code tract. all foreign policy is, is a logical extension of personal relationships where human nature functions and understand when you run a country that does not abide b

and if in fact a violate is basic norms, we will respond cyber. he knows this, i'm away. number 2. i think that the last thing he wants now is a cold war without quoting him, which i don't think is appropriate. i mean, ask rhetorical question. you've got a multi 1000 mile border with china. china is moving ahead. hell bent on election as they say. seeking to be the most powerful economy in the world, the largest and most powerful military in the world. you're in a situation where your economy is struggling. you need to move it in a more aggressive way in terms of growing it and you, i don't think he's looking for a cold war or the united states. i don't think it's true. but as i said to him, i said your generation of mine are about 10 years apart. this is not a could by moment is used to say back in the sixty's united states by less huggy love each other. but it's clearly not in anybody's interest. your countries are mine for us to be in a situation where we're new cold war. and i truly believe he thinks that he understands that. but that does that mean he's ready to call figure re

but added they are committed to eliminating race-based norms in the program. david? >> eva pilgrim on a story we have been covering for some time now. eva, thank you. you can see much more of this abc news investigation later tonight right here on "nightline." >>> in the meantime, overseas tonight, two massive fires in iran. iranian news agencies say the navy's largest warship catching fire during a training mission and sinking in the gulf of oman. some 400 sailors and cadets were on board. all were rescued. shortly after, a massive fire broke out at an oil refinery near tehran. both incidents under investigation tonight. >>> and in israel, a major political shakeup under way. eight rival parties announcing they've formed an alliance to oust prime minister benjamin netanyahu, including the leader of a far right religious party, who opposes a palestinian state. he's now poised to become prime minister if israel's parliament approves this. netanyahu's 12-year run as prime minister will end. >>> when we come back here on the news tonight, tragedy at a national park here

if they do not act according to national norms -- international norms, guess what? only won't would not have been with us, it won't happen with other nations. need to reach out to other countries to invest in russia. they won't. -- they won't as long as they are convinced of the fact that the violations, for example, the american businessman that was in house arrest. he wanted to get american business to invest. change the dynamic. these american businessmen, they are not ready to hang out in moscow. i know we make foreign policy out to be this great skill and somehow it's sort of like secret code. all foreign policy is is an extension of relationships. when you run a country that does not abide by international norms and yet you need those international norms to be somehow managed so that you can purchase a pate in the benefit of them, it hurts you. -- so that you can participate in the benefit of them, it hurts you. my generic point is it is more complicated than that. david, there he is. >> thank you, mr. president. this been a lot of talk about the two countries

we're not in the norm. >> no. >> we're not in the norm. >> we're not. >> so you've got to give up on all of those props that you thought you could use. it's over. the norm is over. >> please listen to matthew dowd, senators. matthew dowd, thank you very much. i appreciate you being here. scaring is caring. >>> still ahead, a new twist in the matt gaetz sex crimes investigation. that's still happening. did the republican congressman obstruct justice? >>> and a huge development in the nfl's use of something called race norming, which assumed that black players started out with lower cognitive function than white and other nonblack players. yes, you heard that right. plus -- >> absolutely positively wrong. it's simply, simply wrong. >> simply wrong. president biden reacted to new reports of abuses from the trump administration. the details of tonight's absolute worst.

i said, because he's violation international norm. it's called a chemical weapons treating can't be trusted, it's about trust is about their ability to influence other nations in a positive way. look, would you like to trade our economy for rushes, economy? would you like to trade? and by the way, we talked about trade. i don't have any problem with doing business with russian as long as they do it based on the international norms. it's our interest to see the russian people do well. economically. i don't have a problem with that, but if they do not act according to national norms, then guess what? that will not want to happen with us or not happening with other nations. and he kind of talked about, didn't you today about how the need to reach out other countries to invest in russia. they will, as long as they are convinced that in fact the, the violations, for example, the american businessman, who is in house arrest and i a pointed out, you want to get american business, the invest, let him go change the dynamic. because american, b

the replacement norms will be app prospective and i and retrospectively.hundreds of claims? it could. we don't know with this new model for looking at players' cognitive abilities will be. they claim it will be race neutral. that's encouraging. but we don't know the specifics. you've got about 7,000 players that took some of the cognitive tests offered in this which is a action suit. many of them didn't know why their scores were scored the way they were. many of them didn't go ahead and file claims. so it is hard topping precisely how many players could end up getting them. but it is fair to say that hundreds and maybe thousands could end up having a claim approved. now, of course, the devil is in the details, so to speak, in this new formula they want to develop. >> ken is the reporter here for the "new york times." i would encourage you to go check out his work in the "times." we had him on. great work. appreciate it. >> so i want to bring in now former nfl player, ken jenkins, and his wife, dr. amy lewis. leaders in the fight to end race norming. how a

if in fact they violate these basic norms, we will respond, cyber. he knows, in the cyber. number two, i think that the last thing he wants now is a cold war. without quoting him, which i don't think is appropriate, let me ask a rhetorical question. you've got a multithousand mile border with china. china is moving ahead, hell bent on election, as they say, seeking to be the most powerful economy in the world, the largest, and the most powerful military in the world. you're in a situation where your economy is struggling. you need to move it in a more aggressive way in terms of growing it. and you -- i don't think he's looking for a cold war with the united states. i don't think, as i said to him, i said, your generation and mine were about ten years apart. this is not a kumbaya moment as we used to say in the '60s in the united states, like let's hug and love each other. but it's clearly not in anybody's interest, your country's or mine, for us to be in a situation where we're in a new cold war. and i truly believe he thinks that. he understands that. but that does not mea

we are looking to resolve those actions, which we think are inconsistent, international norms. number one, number 2, where we can work together. we may be able to do that in terms of some strategic doctrine that may be able to work together. we're ready to do it and maybe other areas there's even talk to maybe the ability to work together on climate. so the bottom line is that i think the best way to deal with this is for united meet he and i have our discussion night. i know you don't doubt that i'll be very straightforward with them about our concerns. and i will make clear my view of how that meeting turned out and he'll make clear how it, from his perspective, how it turned out. but i don't want to get into being diverted by. did they shake hands? how far it? and i taught who talked the most rational, he can say what he said, the media was about, i will say, well, i think the media was about that's, that's how i'm going to handle. ah, i'm sorry, i'm going to get in trouble with staff. i don't do this right. well, jennifer, jacob bloomberg china, you sorry, trying to be doin

>> well, it's, you know, really norm within norm within norm being broken here. the first important norm post-watergate is the president of the united states does not get involved in particular cases at the justice department, doesn't urge the justice department to investigate particular people. that's one very important norm. beyond that, the president of the united states doesn't urge the department to investigate his political adversaries or his political enemies. that is even a more important norm. and then i think even beyond that, you have the specter of a president who is himself under investigation by our committee, calling for an unprecedented subpoena -- unprecedented subpoenas for account information pertaining to members of congress, to staff members, to family members, even to a minor child, and that is, i think, a terrible abuse of power. it violates, i think, the separation of powers. but it also makes the department of justice just a fully owned subsidiary of the president's personal legal interests and political interests. and that does such dama

, and not race norming is designed in this case to prevent bias against black players. so the use of 2 different standards in the nfl reasoning was to protect black players from being compared to white counterpart to might have had more education, easier upbringings, etc. and so where did this come from? because i'm still reading from the idea that ok, this is to protect black tires, we will, we will make you have to be worse injured. you will have to work harder and just get past that in order to get the same pay out as as white play if and this protects you. i don't get the double think. yeah, i mean i think that as i said before, race question is, is it standard in many specialities within medicine? so in some ways what the nfl did wasn't a huge departure within the the field of neuro cognitive testing. these different standards were introduced in order to acknowledge that history, the effect of education on, on black men and women starting and plantation slavery. and so the idea is that, well, there's been less access because of plantation slavery because of jim cro

spell has from the beginning, maintained that there is no discrimination with race, norming, and not race norming is designed in this case to prevent bias against black players, so the use of 2 different standards in the nfl reasoning was to protect black players from being compared to white counterparts who might have had more education, easier upbringings, etc. and so where did this come from because i'm still reading from the idea of it . ok, this is to protect black players. we will, we will make you have to be worse injured. you will have to work harder and just get past that in order to get the same pay out as as white play as and this protects you. i don't get the double think. yeah, i mean, i think that, right, as i said before, res correction is, is it standard and money specialties within medicine? so in some ways what the nfl did wasn't a huge departure within the field of neuro cognitive testing. these different standards were introduced in order to acknowledge that history, the effect of education on, on black men and women starting and plantation slavery. and so the ide

but if they do not act according to international norms, guess what? that wont happen with us, and it will not happen with other nations. he talked about that, didn't he, today? about the need to reach out and other countries to invest in russia. they won't as long as they are convinced that, in fact, the violations, for example, the american businessman who was on house arrest, and i pointed out, you want to get american businesses to invest, let him go. change the dynamic. american businessmen, they are not ready to show up. they don't want to hang around in moscow. look, guys, i know we make foreign policy out to be this great, great skill, and somehow it's sort of like a secret code, and all foreign policy is an extension of personal relationships. it's the way human nature functions. understand when you run a country that does not abide by international norms, and yet you need the international norms to be somehow managed so you can participate in the benefits that flow from that, it hurts you. that's not a satisfying answer, biden said he would i

explain what race norming is, and how was the nfl using it?> so basically they set up two sets of criteria, one for black players and one for white players, to make assumptions about their cognitive ability years ago and then used it to compare with how they're doing now. and as you said in your intro, the black players were presumed to have lower cognitive ability, so that to get an award under this concussion settlement, they actually had to have much more steeper cognitive decline compared to a white player who is presumed to be, according to these standards, more intelligent or have higher cognitive ability, and any small decline would have -- or smaller decline would have led them to get a cash award from this concussion settlement. the lawyers who brought one of the first cases last year said that white players were getting approved at an estimated two to three times more than black players as a consequence of this. and to just think about the consequences of that, there's about 70% of the nfl right now are black players. so black player

-- norms. as i told him when i was running and got elected before ice was sworn in that i was going to find out whether he engaged in trying to interfere in our election. i was going to take a look at whether he was involved in a cyber security breach that occurred. if i did, i would respond. i did. i checked it out. i had access to the intelligence. he was engaged in those activities. i did respond. i made it clear that i would respond again. with regard to --i was found and i don't mean to suggest that the press should not know, but this is not a contest about who can do better in front of a press conference and try to embarrass each other. it is about making myself very clear what the conditions are to get a better relationship are with russia. we are not looking for conflict. we are looking to resolve those actions which we think are inconsistent with international norms. number two, where we can work together, we may be able to do that in terms of strategic doctrine --some strategic doctri

in this case, russia, that are contrary to international norms. it's the price they pay. they are not -- they are not able to dictate what happens in the world. there are other nations of significant consequence, i.e., the united states of america would be one of them. >> mr. president, just a quick follow-up on the same theme of consequences. you said just now you spoke a lot to him about human rights what would you say happens if opposition leader alexei navalny dies? >> i made it clear to him that i believe the consequences of that would be devastating for russia. i'll go back to the same point. what do you think happens when he's saying it's not about hurting navalny. all the stuff that he says to rationalize the treatment of navalny. and then he dies in prison. i pointed out to him that it matters a great deal when a country, in fact, and he asked me why i thought it was important to continue to have problems with the president of syria? i said because it's a violation of international norm. it's called a chemical weapons treaty. can't be trusted. it's about trust, i

i said because it's a violation of international norm, it's called the chemical weapons treaty can't be trusted it's about trust it's about the ability to influence other nations. in a positive way. look, would you like to trade our economy for russia's economy? would you like to trade? and by the way, we talked about trade. i don't have any problem with doing business with russia as long as they do it based on the international norms. it's in our interest to see the russian people do well economically i don't have a problem with that, but if they do not act according to international norms, then guess what that not only will not happen with us, it will not happen with other nations. he kind of talked about that, didn't he, today about the need to reach out to other countries and invest in russia they won't as long as they are convinced that in fact the violations, for example, the american businessman who is on house arrest, and i pointed out, you want to get american business to invest, let him go change the dynamic because american businessmen, they're not ready to show up they do

war conformity established a white suburban middle class heterosexuality as the domestic ideal and norm in america and how nuclear families came to be the kind of central calling card of american normalcy that in turn of course as we've discussed before left a lot of other both outside that norm especially those who were left behind in american cities including people of color and those who were choosing not to get married. and what was the most marrying generation and american history namely lesbians and gay men, but not exclusively so but those groups as we've talked about before came to be seen as socially and sexually deviant as threats to the american family and to democracy and as people who should be excluded from american society and from the abundance of the post-war economic order. but now we're moving into the 19 the late 1960s and early 1970s to look at some of the rebuttals to those notions of cold war conformity and normativity and and there are an array of social and cultural movements that arise during the in 60s and 70s to challenge this notion that white middle-class s

so long now, years later, 8 years later they are getting rid of i mean, race norming. that took an awful long time, i think black players and every n f l player should apply pressure on the n, f l as an institution continuously to get rid of things like this. and i think there is no other chance for the n f l as doing so, following suit and filled with our to watch. and it's also hard to look always different. the ones thank you so much. you're watching day double the news focused on the europe is up next time will be back with more world news at the top of the news the news, the news the news the the the the forgotten about for a long time last fabio grew and his colleague resting my traffic again and the piazza the need transforms into a real once more. ah ah, the ah, what makes agenda love? betting thing away. i'm not going to my own. everyone with liter holes and every day getting you ready to meet the german can join me, rachel, to it on the w every day for us and for our planet is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can w

to that norm does not exist.day, we're going to hear from experts who have dedicated their professional lives to understanding conflict and to helping people find motivation and meaning in their careers and personal lives. we know that a lot of members feel frustrated in trying to do the jobs they were elected to do. we also know that the internal mechanisms we've previously relied upon to help us solve institutional problems aren't working. so maybe it's time to consider new ideas and fresh approaches. maybe congress can learn from the techniques used by experts who work closely with opposing factions on corporate boards or in foreign governments or in rival gangs, and even within families. so i'm really looking forward to this discussion and be hearing what our witnesses today recommend. as with our hearing last week, the select committee will once again make use of the committee rules we adopted earlier this year that give us the flexibility to experiment with how we structure our hearings. our goal is to enco

. >> norm, you knew senator byrd rather well. and what is your sense of how joe manchin now lines up with senator byrd or what he might miss in senator byrd's legacy? >> i think he misses very much what robert byrd was all about. he thinks that byrd was a dead set against any change in senate rules and dead set in keeping the filibuster as it was. i knew him pretty well and talked to him about these issues many, many times, and my sense of this is, to follow on what ira said, he cared deeply about the integrity of the senate and norms of the senate. there were times i talked to him, he would be just furious about for example a democrat, conservative one, james allen of alabama, using every tactic he could, violating norms, to accomplish his ends, and byrd was frustrated at that. i think robert byrd would look at mcconnell and say he's not a guardian of the senate or institutionalist, he's denigrated the senate because it can't act. as said, as majority leader, he saw the senate as deliberating but ultimately had to act and act on

big change coming to the nfl as the league announces it will end the controversial practice of race norming. >> it does not belong in this particular practice. black and white brains aren't any different. >> what sparked the change and what it means going forward. newsroom starts right now. >>> good morning. we're so glad to have you with us this saturday, june 5th. i'm boris sanchez. >> good morning, everyone. i'm amara walker. you're in the "cnn newsroom." >> webegin this hour with what the governor of california is calling a disgusting slap in the face to those who have lost loved ones to gun violence. a federal judge in san diego lyin likening an ar-15 rifle to a swiss army knife. >> now california and gun control a advocates are vowing to fight back. cnn's paulo sandoval is following this story. and this assault weapons ban has been on the books in california for decades, nearly 30 years. what happens now? >> amara, since 1989 to be exact and then fast forward to 2019 when a lawsuit was filed essentially challenging that. and here we are just yesterday when a federal judge in san diego

and then he said we had norms. we have culture that was governed by our players council, which was the most respected players who wouldn't send you to the corner office to get yelled at. they would pull you aside and say you've kind of run afoul of you know, kind of the team culture that we're trying to build. so, i just i mentioned that because it's so coincides with the feedback you just gave. >> can i add to that briefly? >> yeah, please. and then mr. cleaver, go ahead. >> thanks chair kilmer. i spent some time with the norwegian olympic ski team. these are the best skiers in the world. uh they're fiercely competitive. they call themselves the attacking vikings. but one of their norms is when you finish a race you give a course report, radioing up to the person who's about to ski after you to try to prepare them as best as you can. and there's a strong disincentive to do that, which is if you do that in the olympics, you might give away your gold medal. but they do it because they want norwegians to be austrians

aristotle norms how this is to be done also shared commitment to get to yes. however when looking at the climate to prosecute parties there's a wide spread perception that cooperation is not valued and in fact on prominent legislation it is strongly discouraged. when party leaders believe an issue has electoral implication especially with which party controlled the majority is going to be challenging to change the us versus them win or lose culture. this is not to discourage to make it less competitive but to recognize with political realities. there is however a lot else that congress does that is neither internal parties nor high-stakes party votes o and this is where i think efforts to improve congressional culture may see the return. in particular there are three areas warrant further consideration. first relationship, share interest and committees. for the think about the importance ofpersonal relationships . after witnesses spoke about their are numerous reasons why nostalgia and calls to make congress more like used to be are neither realistic or necess

for families who think that race-norming affected their claim, what impact has this had on them?d it has been devastating and this particular part of it has been like salt in the wound. many families have spent years trying to get awards and they've had their awards approved, then denied, and the nfl appealed based on race-norms and other things. so for them it's a very difficult situation. you can't blame for them for being dubious as to what happens next. as one former player put it, words are cheap. let's see what they do. so what happens next is going to be critical for these families in terms of getting awards under that concussion settlement program. >> a lot will be watching and waiting for the decision. ryan, thank you so much. cecilia? >>> we shift gears now to that online shopping showdown. target and walmart, they're going head-to-head with amazon prime day for the black friday of summer. rebecca jarvis is back with more on how everybody can save big when they go shopping. hey, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, cecilia. they are ready to rumble which is great news for you, the

and that race norming is designed in this case to prevent bias against black players. so the use of 2 different standards in the nfl reasoning was to protect black players from being compared to white counterpart to might have had more education, easier upbringings, etc. and so where did this come from because i'm still reading from the idea that ok, this is to protect black class. we will, we will make you have to be worse injured. you will have to work harder and just get past that in order to get the same pay out as, as white play as and this protects you. i don't get the double think. yeah, i mean, i think that as i said before, res corruption is, is it standard and then he's specialties within medicine. so in some ways what the nfl did wasn't a huge departure within the the field of neuro cognitive testing. these different standards were introduced in order to acknowledge that history, the effect of education on, on black men and women starting implantation slavery. and so the idea is that, well, there's been less access because there's petition slavery because of
