pamela gonzalez is the principal of the k-8 where kimberly byrd taught and joining us now. pamela, i'm so sorry for you and your school community as well as kimberly's family. this is a terrible loss. i know this is a teacher who's been an integral part of your city. tell us what this means to lose her. >> well, you know, it's been -- thank you, first of all. it's been very hard. kim was a master teacher. she went above and beyond for her students. she offered words of wisdom from her years of experience to her colleagues. she was a woman of strong faith and very proud of her family and her passing is mourned by whman who had the privilege of knowing her and it has sparked concern in our teaching, education staff of how things will look in the fall when we move forward after this. keeping ourselves and our students safe. >> of course, it has. tell us. they were wearing masks and gloves and being careful and you just had three teachers in one room and this is what happened. right? tell us about that and what you are hearing now from other teachers and maybe parents of reopen

by the way, byrd was also praised by pelosi and by schumer and by bill and hillary clinton. and bird by the way with al gore sr. and others, well they filibuster the 1964 civil rights act for people like john lewis,to they accomplished which by the way was historic in every way imaginable. praising the guyts that filibustered all of that? which was ultimately passed? why? lyndon johnson got overwhelming support from republican senators. 80% in the senate in the house. by the way why did democrats constantly get a pass for their disgusting history of racism. sadly, by the way, we talk about the democrats and george wallace and so many others, we are talking about democrats. and many on the left, by the way, still getting a free pass. african-american trump supporter's are constantly demeaned, minimized and called every name in the book simply because of their race and their political beliefs. we saw another example of this on ms dnc, all things propaganda state run democratic party radical socialist network. take a look. >> are you a campaign surrogate? >> let me be clear, yo

we got the 1998 radio ad in missouri, the james byrd add, al gore republicans don't even want to count you in the census, they'll put you back in chains but let's go over the facts. it was donald trump, not joe, not barack, who passed criminal justice reform and prison reform. it was donald trump. it wasn't joe, it wasn't barack, who signed off on prison reform. it was donald trump also doing opportunity zones targeting mostly minority neighborhoods to help, well, build the economies in neighborhoods that have been left t behind by joe and brock. it was president trump, not joe, not barack, who ushered in record low after record low after record low unemployment for african-americans, hispanic-americans, asian-americans, women in the workplace, youthth unemployment, african-american youth unemployment. joe and barack fit into any of that. as aut matter of fact, 13 millin americansd more food stamps, 18 million more in poverty, the lowest labor produced mission rate since the '70s. a 50 year low in homeownership in the worst recovery since the boss reported he's. that is their eight yea

you thatgot remind ronald byrd was a democrat and he was a clan member. and you hold him in high praise. forgiveness, forgive that. and yet we are losing statues which are history to the past. member, was a klan right? you understand that? a recruiter. nobody seems to mention that. when all this racist stuff is going on. host: that is brian. go ahead. guest: it is reprehensible that any member of congress past or present may have belonged to the ku klux klan. i think that is reprehensible. and someone that is part of that entity which clearly should be considered a terrorist organization should be expelled from congress, i think. and with regards to the confederate statues, they represent a very painful part of our past. perhaps they could be at a museum, but certainly not in the capital, certainly not in communities where they are venerated by people. slavery, shackled hundreds and thousands and millions of people the effects of which are still being felt, even over 400 years venerated,ld not be should not be out down to, they should be rejected, and the

senator byrd? >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. miller, mr. hovakimiam. i have a question for both of you, but i want to make a statement if i can at the beginning. most of this committee were intricately involved in creating, not just nctc, but the dni. so they have their own vision of what the responsibility and the mission of both were. i've had an opportunity to sit down with mr. miller, and i've talked at patrick's background and his resume. i'm not sure that we could have two more qualified people to fill the role that they've been nominated for than these two individuals. and given that many on this committee crafted these agencies in legislation, it is absolutely crucial that we have people that can fulfill the mission that we thought nctc was there to do and that we could have somebody interpret the correct law in an agency that is in its embryo stage. so, i encourage the members if there were a time i would like to see us expedite these nominees and hopefully get away from acting and have permanent, it would be before we leave for the next break

lopez byrd she was one of 3 arizona teachers who are assigned to one room for summer online learningand they followed all the protections just 3 adults in a room no kids masks sent izing all that stuff and kimberly lost her life after 38 years of service in public education if it's not safe for 3 adults in one room following all the guidelines i don't know what it's going to look like when you add students to the mix and of course even if students aren't spreading it if if that's true and we don't know if that's true. you have all the other adults you have your library and you have your ministers you have the counselors it's just not worth the risk there is not one student that we should be willing to sacrifice in the name of getting back in the school building in if that learning in the school building with all those protections isn't optimal then really we're talking about school just being there for the babysitting not for the money in a school is there for the babysitting i would argue that we should have stronger social safety net so that we don't need our schools to be babysitt

if you want to erase robert byrd, that's fine by me.w he has close ties to prominent democrats like joe biden and hillary clinton or has in the past. i'm fine for wiping all of that out. i did not have access to the president this morning, he doesn't take my calls like mark, but if he is concerned about this slippery slope that he should come out on television and make the same argument that mark just made very eloquently about getting rid of these confederate statues and making sure we don't see the confederate flag anywhere in america. the amount mars mount rushmore t part of our heritage is terrible. those people were traders to the united states of america. they should not be embossed and certainly southern -- when african-americans tell us regularly that there' they are s of that oppression. >> dana: he said at he and the confederacy in that speech. anyway, love talking to you too. thanks. coming up, a major supreme court ruling just handed down. plus, should joe biden skip of the debate? that's an interesting suggestion. next. the

you thatgot remind ronald byrd was a democrat and he was a clan member. you hold him in high praise. forgiveness, forgive that. we are losing statues which arery to the past. member, was a klan right? you understand that? a recruiter. nobody seems to mention that. when all this racist stuff is going on. host: that is brian. go ahead. guest: it is reprehensible that any member of congress past or present may have belonged to the ku klux klan. i think that is reprehensible. and someone that is part of that be considered a terrorist organization i think. and with regards to the confederate statues, they represent a very painful part of our past. perhaps they could be at a museum, but certainly not in the capital, certainly not in communities where they are venerated by people. slavery, shackled hundreds and thousands and millions of people the effects of which are still beingelt, even over 400 years venerated,ld not be should not be out down to, they should be rejected, and these statues are representative of that very painful and shameful period of american
