our reporter is outside the white house.ething that has been when on for decades, even obama was in the white house. a black man in the white house and things did not change enough. that trumpk the fact is seen as such a divisive figure might punish for more change, and might create the needed momentum for real change in the u.s.? reporter: that's a good point in the center that those who love obama would go easy on him, they would not draw these protests. obama began on some element of criminal justice but what was issing from his approach it's not just attempting to isorm police forces, it systemic and discriminating against black people. it is a pointless enterprise. police origins are from those who used to capture slaves for landowners and they were hired by the rich to police the poor. it has not necessarily changed. so it would need a systemic change in society. you cannot just monitor the baltimore police department for a year. you have to change the whole system. obama allowed impunity. in theting we have seen finan

but on the housing director side of the house. do you have a breakdown of your housing by race, gender, ethnicity, etc. >> i do not. i -- and i'm -- i'm -- supervisor walton, first of all, thank you very much for your question. i can't say i'm new many times, but i need to consult with h.r. if we're just allowed to aggregate by that, by race and by ethnicity, but i will confer with my h.r. consultant and get back to you. i do have the total number of staff by division but not gender or race. >> supervisor walton: thank you very much. if you could please get that to us before next week, before our next tuesday board meeting, that would be great. also, i do understand that you are new, and a lot of the antiblackness and racist history of the department do not fall on you, but you should have staff here that should be able to answer some of the questions that will be forthcoming. what ethnicity or race would you suffer the most from evictions or from defaults on mortgage loans? >> i can -- i will ask my staff. i did get statistics, t

they brought him inside the house.hey took a mattress off the bed and put them on the mattress to transport him to the hospital. >> ♪ in jackson, mississippi in 1963 there lived a man of praise he fought for freedom all of his life but they laid medger evers in his grave ♪ >> following his death, it felt like the movement died a little bit. they had his funeral at the masonic temple and after that he was buried in arlington national cemetery. after a period of time, no one was in the house. it had gotten in bad shape. there are other exhibits about medgar in other museums. we wanted to do something with the house. we may not have known exactly what we were going to do. at first people just wanted to come and see where medgar evers and his family lived. we would let people flow in and flow out. it got to the point where we've got to say something. there are people in mississippi who are my age or older who do not really know who medgar evers was. i want people to know who medgar evers was and the great difference he mad

this is the row of the housing -- houses. the far house is the only surviving one. this is the builder here, who also built the grateful dead house. the planning department team gave it a number of positives in terms of historic presentation -- preservation. the staff, however disagreed with the consulting report that was done by them, that the house was not a historic resource. >> one minute left. >> okay they have supported new construction of a preservation and we are supporting so many other things. they're concerned about the layering graffiti if the project is not built right away. this will not stay vacant. it took 13 years to finalize the project and there are other sites available in the subset. thank you. >> thank you. i guess, madame clerk, we will take public comment. >> that is correct, mr. president. operations, do we have any public callers in the queue? i will provide the telephone number, it is 1-408-418-9388. when you are prompted, enter the meeting identifier numbers 146 1235541. press pound twice to join the meeting and start three to line up to

-- repeat from the house. i ask that the motion be agreed to and the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: is there objection? the senator from arkansas. mr. cotton: reserving the right to object. i am mystified by what happened here. we had a resolution on the floor, a couple of pages calling for justice for george floyd and victims of excessive use of ford as well as condemning the radical idea of defunding the police. the minority leader wants to offer a resolution that would make the pending business of the senate at some time in the future a piece of legislation which, if i'm not mistaken, hasn't been written and filed yet in the house of representatives. maybe it's been written in the last day or two and i'm not aware they filed that bill, but it hasn't been dweebtd and -- debated and voted on in the house of representatives. we have a resolution right in front of us that condemns the unjustified killing of george floyd, calls for justice for his death a

but a bit of a sense of it from the white house press briefing that took place earlier this was our 1st indication something might be happening as we await the statement from the rose garden i can tell you that the white house press secretary kili mcenaney did suggest that there would be potentially additional assets that's all she said about an hour later we saw the convoy of carriers carrying military police and soldiers national guard we understand about 200 of them that were deployed parading down pennsylvania avenue and being deployed around the city we understand that this is really consistent with the message that donald trump delivered not just to the governors in a teleconference today but also on saturday when he spoke about the death of george floyd in fact he promised that he would not give into anarchy and not allow america's cities to burn he said leftist thugs will not be allowed to set our communities a blaze we must protect those who have the least so the u.s. president promised at that time that he would deliver a heavy handed presence in coordination with local law en

the big house is so perfectly put together the furniture is gorgeous and allender's house has mixed -- mismatched china and every chairs a different side. you know how opposite their temperament was richie was -- he liked to make people feel at ease and he he loves that's on some ways they were good for each other but thank god for the country. they had enough to keep them going through this long marriage. c-span: really have a minutes ago but how about the relationship explain her women friends. a lot has been written about that. >> i think it's mostly a relationship where eleanor was loved by someone especially at the time she felt at the center that the sender somebody cypress some people claim that means she was a. i don't think that is necessarily so pretty think the most important thing to understand that this woman left her and she helped her to become a better first lady. historians don't know whether they went beyond hugs and kisses and sometimes people try to appropriate eleanor one where another. a loner would be the first person she came back today new if she were consider
