drawings and i should point out that john white's we'll go back to the map. i want to show the map john white's drawings are all in the british museum and they're in color watercolors. they're actually gorgeous and and i had to show this to our audience in england because what they would i think many of them were sure with the outer banks of north carolina were and where roanoke island was so that's why that's in here and it points out also that virginia was everything virginia was all the way down to florida. and virginia was all the way up to canada and that's all the new and of course it went as far to the west as one could could imagine right now i want to go on to look at one of the the famous images that john white drew there was since engraved and this is in this isn't he titled it indian and body paint and it it appeared in tom's herod's book and then it was published in theodore enterprise six volume great and small voyages. so we have a number of of these publications of what you're incredibly valuable and rare in our in our library, and this was an

that has been used -- >> john: but the white house at the same time conveniently forgetting all of this. listen here. >> not only do we need to defund, but we need to dismantle and start a new. >> it is like this is the word that is coming from the streets. >> i am for defunding the police. >> this is from the investment in our communities, which have historically been divested. >> defund the police does not mean abolish the police. it means a dramatic reduction in the number of police and our poor communities. >> john: congresswoman, when it comes to the mantra, who really is waving that flag? is it republicans or democrats? >> just look at those democrat cities where they actually did defund the police, and crime has skyrocketed. the democrats on that movement. they have been the ones that have put in place anti-police policies that have led to police having their hands tied to. they have implemented the bail reform in new york. nancy pelosi tried to put it in the covid release package, and they are the ones, of course, that cut the budget. if you look out across the cities, including

there's a period of deep shame for being white and for acknowledging the harm that our ancestors have caused. >> johnite and acknowledging the harm that our ancestors have caused. clearly america has a troubled history. what would be the purpose of people living today to feel deep shame for something that happened decades even centuries ago? >> well, racism throughout history is usually about people trying to exploit differences in order to achieve political power. in recent decades, the left has been able to use racism as a way to advance political aims, accusing other people of racism that is probably what is happening here as "the washington post" is becoming more politicized and open about their political agenda. they're playing into that. the problem is that a lot of americans of whatever color, creed, just reject this type of racism. it happens at a time when more and more people are aware what a great country this is for people regardless of that, socially or economically. yes, there's problems and they need to be dealt with but particularly prior to the global pandemic a time of great economi

it's not teaching the truth unless you believe that whites are better than blacks. >> john: that mom, quisha king, she joins us. moms for liberty northeast florida division cochair. quisha, i saw that last week and i said we've got to get her on. what's the basis for your opposition to teaching critical race theory in schools. >> hi, john, thank you for having me on. the basis for critical race theory is the idea that the structure of america is rooted in racism and white's pharmacy and white privilege and that cannot be removed from america. and our history shows that that's not true. we have made progress, tremendous progress toward the more perfect union that our founders, founding fathers talk about in the constitution and other documents. critical race theory goes against that. it says we are inherently racist. there's nothing we can do about it and our children, our most precious resources are left to deal with just being in a state of oppressor or oppressed, that that same status cannot be removed from them and that's not how we move our society forward. >> john: supporters of

john, you covered the trump white house. we knew based on trump's twitter feed and his rallies exactly who he thought his enemies were. and now it appears that the doj was weaponized to go after those enemies. i'm talking about democratic lawmakers and their aides, their families and media organizations. i mean, he was very public about his enemies list, and now here we are. yet it's just so unprecedented, even with all of those tells, is it not? >> laura, the remarkable thing about president trump and his administration was how openly he corrupted the processes of government. remember when he was a candidate. russia, are you listening? go get those emails. as president, suggesting china open investigations of hunter biden, attacking jeff sessions, his attorney general for recusing himself in the russia probe, firing jim comey, the fbi director, saying it was because he thought russia was a hoax, which, of course, it was not, attacking his vice president for upholding the constitutional processes counting the votes after the

but a beautiful rear guard action by winfield scott hancock and john white gary are able to save the union armies they fall back to a more defensible position. hooker in the meantime had played his his ace up his sleeve and he ordered in that fainting foresight. i told you about around fredericksburg. they will march to aid the union army. the battle of second fredericksburg a slow battle will develop and john said to start marching towards a place called the salem church where lee again audacity personified with an enemy on the ropes will split his army. use those interior lines. take a calculated risk and march and meet this threat and stop it cold. he knew his enemy. so well that when he is warned robert e. lee is warned that john sedgwick is coming up from to his rear. he's going to say a very telling quote he's going to say that i believe that major sedgwick means us no harm. john said to some major general. but when robert e lee commanded john sedgwick in the antebellum army, he was a major. he knows major cedric. he knows how slow he is. he knows he has time and he knows how h

joe johns, cnn, the white house. >>> president biden's infrastructure deal appears to be back on track after a near derailment last week. while announcing the agreement on thursday, mr. biden indicated he would only sign the $1.2 trillion bipartisan measure, if it came with a much larger package of democratic priorities. republicans were furious at the umm ultimatum. the president walked back the statement on saturday. republicans were back on board on sunday. >> this is a bill which stands on its own. i'm totally confident that the president will sign it, if it comes to his desk. the real challenge is whether the democrats can get their act together and get it on his desk. i think the battle that is going out is not with republicans. republicans will support true infrastructure that doesn't raise taxes but democrats want to do a lot of other things and i think they're the ones having a hard time deciding how to proceed. >> lawyers for the trump organization are expected to meet with new york prosecutors later monday. sources say the prosecutors have informed company it will probably f

joe johns, cnn, the white house. >>> one of donald trump's staunchest allies during his white house dayss now bashing the former president's big lie. in a newly released book excerpt, former u.s. attorney general bill barr says he suspected trump's claims of election fraud were all bs, but he still launched unofficial inquiries to appease his boss. but tells ally news, quote, if there was evidence of fraud, i had no motive to suppress it. but my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there, it was all bs. barr resigned almost two weeks after saying no election fraud evidence was found, though his split with trump, at least publicly, still seemed amicable. >>> the former chief of the u.s. food and drug administration says the delta coronavirus variant poses a big threat to communities with low vaccination rates. dr. scott gottlieb says there are regions without enough immunity buildup. he's urging local leaders and doctors to take on a grassroots approach to getting people their shots. he is who he says is most at risk right now. >> there are social compartments in the u.s

let's go to the white house. john harwood joins us. can we talk about that taxing. let's hear what the president is going to say today but it's a big deal if he does what he signaled to senator shelley moore capito yesterday us which is not pushing forward on a mandatory 28% corporate tax rate and instead trying to raise the bottom up to 15 so no company pays zero in federal taxes. >> that's right, poppy, but that's just for the purpose of this negotiation. president biden is not dropping his effort overall in other legislation to bring that corporate rate up. what he's trying to do is see if he can identify a space where republicans could vote for infrastructure, which in theory they like and in practice they like to some degree. not as much as democrats do. with a pay for component that doesn't violate their red lines. that they're not going to raise the tax rate. the minimum tax that the president's proposed, of course, at 15%. that's below the 21% rate in the 2017 tax cuts and part of the broader effort that janet yellen, the treasury secretary, is pursuing inte

john dean joins me now. he's the former nixon white house counsel and co-author of "authoritarian nightmare: trump and his followersn. in your book, you look at the quote/unquote trump phenomenon. you use psychological scientists, doctors, you talk to a wide range of people to help you better understand what is behind this phenomenon. why is that? >> well, what i did is i have written on this subject before, but i went to the man who helped me so much when i wrote an earlier book, examining nixon's authoritarianism. this is the first time we have had a president in the modern time other than nixon who is a true authoritarian, to get elected you need authoritarian followers. i joined and collaborated with a scientist who studied these people his entire professional career. and there is just no question that while 75 million people are probably not hard corps authoritarian, they have those leanings with a number of them being very serious authoritarian followers and they'll follow a trump type character anywhere he wants them to go. >> you're the former white house counsel to president nixon, if nixon had possessed t

john brown, if you remember, was the most radical white abolitionist of the day. john brown, with an army of blacks and whites in 1859, went south, rated, took -- rated -- took over the federal arsenal at harpers ferry virginia with the idea of inciting a massive insurrection. though frederick douglass opposed john brown going to harpers ferry, it was only because he thought john brown would lose his life, which he did. john brown was executed for treason. the harpers ferry affair was one of the last sparks that lead to the civil war. frederick douglass, however, considered john brown one of the greatest men in these united states. that is a quote from douglas. john brown wrote his provisional constitution, which would govern those areas that brown hope to liberate from slavery i've -- in frederick douglass's home. brown could not write a grammatically correct sentence. it is a grammatically correct document, which suggests that douglas probably edited it for him. he was in favor of brown if he thought it would work. lincoln and all republicans distance themselves

matters involving russia. >> thank you so much. >>> with me now, cnn contributor john dean, he was president nixon's whiteee you. >> thank you. >> so you were at the white house, the counsel for nixon when he was obsessed with leaks which led to watergate, his resignation, et cetera. so how is this different from nixon's enemy list? >> it's very different. first of all, nixon's list was just a list. it really never got beyond collecting names and assembling them and tossing them into a file drawer. i can't think of any instance where maybe with the exception of larry o'brien the chairman of the democratic national committee, he ever did anything. so that's one distinction. the other is, i can't recall nixon ever going after a member of congress, particularly using the tactic of a grand jury subpoena to fish around and see if you could find a leak. the problem is with leaks is we don't have an official secret's act in this country. leaks are used -- are prosecuted under a really kind of tortured interpretation of an old 1917 statute. that's the only thing that's on the books. congress has tried. bill clint

. >> gillian: live from the white house, thanks so much. >> john: gillian, let's bring in nicole. she just met with nypd leadership. congresswoman, thanks for joining us today. what did the leadership tell you? what are they looking for in order to combat the surge of crime? >> well, it is clear that the rise in crime is directly related to policies that have been put in place by the city council and also governor cuomo and the state legislature. the bailout that was enacted by the governor is the number one reason why we are seeing crime sewer across almost every single major category. this is something that -- the fact that they gave us were alarming. 97% of those that are victims of shootings are black and latino. secondly, when it comes to bail laws, 9 out of 10 individuals who are found an illegal firearm are released immediately right back out onto our streets. 50% of those that actually use a firearm and shoot someone are being released back out onto our streets because of that bail law. that coupled with crimes that are eligible for immediate release have led to the astoun

john brown if you remember was the most radical white abolitionist of the day. john brown had with an army of blacks and whites in 1859 went south, raided and took over the federal arsenal at harper's ferry, virginia, with an eye to distributing the arms there to slaves and inciting a massive slave insurrection. although douglass had opposed john brown from going to harper's ferry, it was only because he thought brown was going to lose his life. which he did. he was captured, tried for treason and executed for treason. and harper's ferry affair was one of the last sparks that led to the civil war. frederick douglass however considered john brown one of the greatest men in these united states. that's a quote from douglass. john brown wrote his provisional constitution which would govern the areas he hoped to remove from slavery in douglass's home. and brown could not write a sentence, so suggests that douglass edited it for him. he was very much in favor of brown conspiring against the united states to end slavery if he thought it would work. lincoln and all repub

i want to go to john dean, white house counsel for former president richard nixon. r of "authoritarian nightmare, the ongoing threat of trump's followers." john, from jeff sessions to rod rosenstein and bill barr, one thing was consistent across all of them. donald trump did everything he could to use the justice department for his personal aims, to fight his own political wars. >> it certainly was. and i must say that a lot of people are comparing that with nixon. nixon didn't have that kind of department of justice. i was just thinking as you were doing the setup piece that during the worst leak of nixon's presidency was the so-called pentagon papers, a massive leak of classified documents. i got a call from the oval office the day after he learned that and could the department of justice bring a criminal action for this? called over, found out the short answer was they could, but they won't. so nixon couldn't use the department as he wanted to. >> so in a sense, what you're saying is, or maybe not in a sense, you're saying this goes beyond what nixon did? >> it is

let's go straight to the white house and joe john. from the white house today? >> well, the significance of this is it looks like at least for now, the cleanup at 1600 pennsylvania avenue appears to have worked with republicans including mitt romney saying they're glad the president put out the statement indicating he's not going to veto the infrastructure bill if he doesn't get that big spending bill that a lot of democrats want. of course, that spending bill could set off a huge partisan food fight on capitol hill. the question here at the white house today is whether everybody on the staff got the memo. listen to the conversation between jake tapper and cedric richmond earlier today on cnn. >> clarify, biden will, if it happens that the bipartisan infrastructure bill lands on his desk on its own, i understand that's not your reference. but if that were to happen, he would sign it, yes or no? >> i don't think it's a yes or no question. the president's words speak for themselves. i speak for the president, but i don't put words in his

let me get to john harwood at the white house. john? >> what i wanted to do, poppy, is provide some perspective to punctuate the political points that dana and jeffrey were making. we remember that when new senator ted cruz was trying to strangle obamacare in its crib, when it was just about to launch, and he was trying to persuade republicans, we have to stop this, we have to shut down the government to stop it, what he said was, if this law gets going, and people see the benefits, they will get hooked on the benefits. that's what has happened. that's why john mccain turned thumbs down when -- as well as lisa murkowski and susan collins, i believe was the other, on the vote to repeal obamacare in 2017. that was a major reason why democrats won the house back in 2018, because they were defending the law against that republican attack. and it undergurds what the supreme court has done. and it helps explain what the supreme court has done and explain why joe biden has had success shoring it up. h people had the appreciation that they need

john harwood at the white house. to help us answer the question, to really smart women, margaret tell and margaret you've been around washington a long time, answer john's question. is there actual interest in from a small number of republicans to make a deal, right, given that there is a political aspect to this, imagine that, that it will be seen as something of a victory for a democratic president going into the midterms? what guidance are they getting from their leadership. >> well notably we have not heard mitch mcconnell come out yet and robust the $1.2 trillion compromise that we're talking about. you i think this is different than the voting rights expansion legislation. primarily because infrastructure, getting some kind of infrastructure deal benefits incumbents and there are republican as well as democratic incumbents. the voting bill, i think, pretty clearly benefits democrats because, you know, wage hour workers, younger workers, voters of color, disproportionally support democrats instead of republicans,

for 15 months now, we have heard the likes of marcus rashford, john and henderson, both white and blacktake the knee and why they will continue to do so. racism is always mentioned, but this is supposed to be a gesture against all forms of discrimination. sexism, homophobia, disability, so it must be really polarising for these players that, six players before kick—off, they are being booed for effectively wanting equality. then, after kick—off, they are being cheered by these same fans as well. i guess there is a valid argument that sport and football should be escapism. you should enter the stadium and forget about the ills of the world, so to speak. but there a lot of these players, they are being abused while they are at work, on the field, and after as well. forthem work, on the field, and after as well. for them it is difficult to separate the two went racism almost links them. the separate the two went racism almost links them. , , ., ., links them. the eyes of the world are auoin links them. the eyes of the world are going to _ links them. the eyes of the world are going to be —

this focusing on how the nixon white house responded purely with john dean, former white house counselsident nixon. >> i think there's probably some good justification for the strong feelings nixon had. he would make the decision in the next day read it on the front page of "the new york times" or some other newspaper. this makes it virtually impossible to govern. clubs just because some guys going to be a martyr, we cannot be in a position of allowing a fella to get away with this kind of wholesale thievery or it will happen all over the government. we've got to keep our eye on the main ball. the main ball is ellsberg. we have to get this son of a bitch. >> the nixon white house. what some of us called the beginning of a rough period. it was rough-and-tumble before, but he got down and dirty. it is really a defining event for the nixon president. in this is one -- the so plumbers union. >> i was summoned the oval office by the president. john ehrlichman and i met with him. there was some suspicion that dr. ellsberg had access to the more recent war plans that have been developed by th

i'm basil john we know the white house is taking an all hands on deck approach.y want everybody to get vaccinated. >> exactly what are they doing right now. to that end. well, when you look at the numbers throughout the country. the one area that the administration is quite worried about when it comes to these numbers. >> is actually the south. the south actually has one of the lowest vaccination rates compared to many other areas, which is why the administration is actually sending the vice president to go down basically at on a tour and act as a way to try and entice those people who are still hesitant still on the fence about getting the vaccine in order to help bring those rates up because it seems that the the administration and the president really want to make that july 4th goal. a reality. all right, thanks very much. >> alright health officials from all bay area counties are now calling on school districts to return to in-person learning in the fall. the health officers held a joint news conference earlier today where they cited info from the cdc saying

abolitionist of the day john brown had with an army of blacks and whites in 1859 went south raided took over the federal arsenal harpers ferry, virginia with an eye toward distributing the arms there to slaves and inciting a massive slave insurrection, although douglas had opposed john brown from going to harpers ferry. it was only because he thought brown was going to lose his life, which he did. brown was captured. he was tried for treason and executed for treason and that harper's ferry affair was one of the last sparks that led to the civil war. frederick douglass, however consider john brown one of the greatest men in these united states. that's a quote from douglas. john brown wrote his provisional constitution, which would govern those areas that brown hope to liberate from slavery in douglas's home and brown could not write a grammatically correct sentence douglas. it's the most it's the most eloquent document brown ever wrote which suggests that douglas essentially edited for him. he was very much in favor of brown a conspiring against the united sta

john harwood joining us from the white house. what can harris do long term because republicans in the statehouse in texas have been very clear that they think they can clearly get this done in the special session. >> reporter: that's right, poppy. it's not clear what harris and democrats can do in texas. it's not clear what they can do, democrats and harris can do in washington. this is another one of those very difficult assignments along with stopping the root causes of border migration that vice president harris has been given. but what happens in texas was a bit of hope for democrats. they saw those legislators walk off the floor, temporarily delay that bill. this is a bill, like bills in many red states around the country, trying to restrict early voting, curbside voting, place curbs on the efforts made during the pandemic to make voting easier. democrats have a response to that. one is the we the people act with various ways of having federal safeguards on voting as well as the john lewis voting rights act to restore some o

. >> he actually said, and we're here with john harwood, our white house correspondent, he actually saidthis idea -- i thought it was so interesting. poof, suddenly everyone was back in line for a moment after the january 6th insurrection you have republicans who sort of stood up and said, you know, like a spade is a spade. and then they turned back around, fell in line and he blames the right wing media for that. >> well, i think right wing media is part of it. but, like with donald trump, these are reactions to the way the country is changing that he referred to. when donald trump was growing up, whites were the overwhelming majority of the american population, so were christians. and you could make a good living as a blue collar worker going straight out of high school to the factory. all of those things are changing. the country is becoming less white, less christian, requiring higher levels of education. and so, right wing media, fox news in particular, right wing politicians, do, in fact, have as their main objective stoking fear and resentment among people who think that they are

the presence of legal counsel, john dean, realizes the white house is being blackmailed. he is afraid he could be implicated, he will be sent to prison. he is not willing to be sent to prison for the crimes as he sees it of other people. so he turns on nixon first wealthy turns on mcgruder and tries to get mcgruder to shoulder responsibility started this infighting between mcgruder and dean. as nixon puts it, his aides are passing on each other and they start to sing on the president to be crude about it. which is what nixon was. so, what's the taboo has been broken, there is just one person, james mccord is not willing to go along with the cover-up. starts blowing the whistle on it. in this whole "house of cards" begins to fall apart. >> the mostly attorneys and lawyers? from my memory seems like nixon was quite the law student. several of the aides were law students. did they not? >> that is one of the points john dean makes actually. at one point writes up a list of everybody who is involved in the watergate either in the white house or to reelect the president he puts

i was for sure, i'll just see it at the white house for john kirk and from the university of toronto. he says biden and other g 7 leaders have set ambitious goals for vaccine diplomacy or johnson has already identified a few days as though you said you're going out all the other g. 7 leaders to agree that they will docks and a everyone everywhere on the planet by the end of next year. and that is a big task already at things from the graphs that they've agreed to come up with. $1000000000.00 goes over the next year. but that's a big down payment. there's still a long way to go. i have been reminiscing the whole war, china with its own vaccines and giving them away for poor desperate countries in the world. are the russians to know what they are so called the white one. but if the west offers its own and sure they'll be the one that will be chosen because they're the only fully fav, fully effective, fully transparently tested one biden, wisely designed is a tour to go there with the full strength and support of the bigger, broader g 7, now with india and australia and korea behind them

joining me now is john harwood, live at the white house and manu raju on capitol hill. , first to you. what are you hearing about this meeting with biden and this group today? >> reporter: kate, i think this is an opportunity for president biden to recap the details of this plan with the senators involved as he's been going over them with his staff last night and this morning. and also to try to secure the understanding that this is going to get the support of enough republicans to overcome a republican filibuster. many hurdles remain and i'm sure manu will lay those out, criticism from the left and from the right. but what this deal does is create the possibility that in fact on the second part of the two track agenda that president has been pursuing, first on the pandemic and second on changing the long-term course of the american economy that he could end up delivering a substantial portion of what he has requested from the congress, not in one piece but in two pieces. first in this bipartisan deal, if they could get that over the finish line. and then in the larger d

the home where the 35th president was born on may 29th, 1917, is now the john fitzgerald kennedy national historic site. the white kennedy. he was born in this very house and lived here until he was about three and a half years old. then his family moved to a second home just down the road three blocks

the controversy over this and the little bit of concern inside the white house over that answer continues, johnith more. she's been, at the past, but i -- but not recently is the point here. what does the white house think of all of this? >> poppy, it's no surprise that the white house was not thrilled by that answer. a little bit confused as to why she handled it that way. the obvious discomfort with lester's question, the nervous laughter there. it's hard to understand because this is a question that the administration has been dealing with for months. she's been tasked with the diplomatic assignment, with guatemala and mexico and other countries in the northern triangle rather than dealing with the border. they've had a ready answer for it. she eventually gave that answer to jeremy diamond. take a listen. >> the reality of it is that we need to prioritize what's happening at the border and we have to prioritize why people are going to the border. and so let's talk about what's going on in the places that are causing the issue at the border. i think it's shortsided for any of us who are in th

john harwood is at the white house. jess, let me begin with you.nn that she was supportive of what manchin is putting forward here, but it's not enough to get him on board. any chance he gets the ten he needs? >> reporter: at this point it is all but impossible, seeing that path forward to 60 votes here in the u.s. senate. that just seems like it's not happening. you just heard from senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, and when he says no republican support, it means no republicans will be supporting this bill. we saw that press conference yesterday. my office is right down the hall. we saw so many republican senators going in to comment on this, that they would not be supporting it. senators that participate in other bipartisan legislation, so that tells you a lot. one thing to deep in mind, though, is the political game that democrats are playing. they want to look unified. they want to be unified when it comes to voting rights. so by getting manchin on board, and remember he was a lone holdout on this, it allows them to get 50 votes and prese

. >> cnn's john harwood is joining me now from the white house for more on this. john, what is kamala harris going to do with this new task? >> well, in theory she's got an ability to get a lot done, kate. she is a -- has a big platform as vice president. she is a former senator with relationships in that body, which is where the voting rights legislation is stalled, a former attorney general and popular throughout the democratic party. however, this is an extremely difficult assignment. one thing she can do is try to generate public pressure on the states attempting to constrain voting rights. we've seen in some cases, like in the state of georgia, massive public pressure had an effect of somewhat moderating some of the provisions of that bill they enacted. a second thing she can try to do is move the senate. to pass voting rights protections, it would take ten republican votes. the chances of her getting ten republican votes for that purpose are pretty much zero because republicans today view it as critical to their survival to make it harder for non-white americ

i don't want to mention the big shots with the white powder. >> john, when and why did you leave your job in pharmaceuticals? >> because they wrote a paper on me years ago, in graduate school, for no reason, as a guinea pig. you can see my accent. so i went into science. i had a college degree. i came here from graduate school and the clinic wrote a paper on me, i was the punch line. i'm a volunteer in the city of cleveland. i'm not against drugs. painkillers have been used, fda approved, congress looked the other way. the barcode system distribution, common sense tells you whether shipments are delivered in your house even before the pandemic. >> donald hickory, out of north carolina, good morning, you're next. go ahead, sir. >> yeah, i'm with you. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> can you hear me? >> yes, sir. >> in 2007, i got throat cancer. and they had to put a stomach tube in me. three to four times a day, i was shooting liquid oxycodone and xanax in my stomach. well, after going through cancer, you're addicted to that, especially when it's a liquid and it's going straigh

the white male who did not feel like he was under the umbrella of barack obama. >> john harwood, you've both fwifrn us a lot to think about. great to have you on set. >> wonderful to be here. >> thanks so much. >>> a federal judge has overturned california's decades old ban on assault weapons calling it a failed experiment and prompting a swift outcry. california's governor calls the judge's decision a direct threat to public safety and disgusting slap in the face. judge ron benitez ruled the state's assault weapons ban violates the second amendment right to bear arms writing in part, like the swiss army knife the popular ar-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense and homeland defense equipment if you can believe that. the father of a teen who was killed in the mass shooting at stoneman douglas high school back in 2018 reacted to the judge's comparison this morning on cnn. >> my daughter's in a cemetery because a swiss army knife was not used. because it was an ar-15. my daughter was on the third floor. if a swiss army knife were used, my daughter and most of those other kids

the home where the 35th president was born on may 29th, 1917, is now the john fitzgerald kennedy national historic site. the white house historical association hosted this event and provided the video. >> welcome to john fitzgerald kennedy national historic site. this is the birthplace home of president kennedy. he was born in this very house and lived here until he was about three and a half years old. then his family moved to a second home just down the road three blocks away. so his family called him jack. he spent the first ten years of his life growing up in brookline before the family moved to new york. so this house is owned, operated and interpreted by the national park service. of the 421 units of the national park service, we are actually the third smallest site. so you can see in this picture and just how very close we are to our neighbors. there is no parking lot. people pull right up in front of the house on the street. that is the parking. it's on a residential road in brookline, massachusetts just outside of boston. we are actually part of a try site park system, one park and three sites so to say.
