i lived in kansas city. i would love to have the stadium downtown. have this one cultural part of our city that is maybe not like other towns because we are from the midwest and we're cattle and we're into barbecue, and you talk about football being a tailgating kind of sport. but here, tailgating is a really big part of baseball. i wonder how the general public that goes to those games and tail gates and they spend hours he talks about how book and film shaped public perception of he's the author of two books on the subject. >> i'd like to welcome you to. i am the director here. david kent. and we are very fortunate, tonight, to have esteemed

i lived in kansas city and watched it grow. would love to have it downtown. we have this one cultural part of our city that is maybe not like other towns because we're from the midwest and into barbecue. you talk about football being a tailging sport and baseball not. tailgating is a big part of baseball, here. i wonder how the general public that goes to the games and tailgates maybe spend hours setting up their tale gaits for the royals baseball games. it may not be as big as it is for the chiefs. >> it's an interesting question. i don't have an answer to that. >> i would say the tailgates at royal stadium can just go away. >> i thought that's what he was going to say. i'm going to defer to the local on this. >> i know there's a lot of people who tailgate. you were kind. nip city that is -- it's big enough to contain both arthur bryant and the nelson new sum has to be more interesting than most cities in america. >> thank you for that comment. >> i still believe that. he talks about how book and film shaped public perception of he's the author of two books o

evictions happening in downtown kansas city today.e 150 eviction cases on the docket today in downtown kansas city, including at least a few kc tenantembers, including one named sabrina davis, who has already been displaced from her home. so it is important that we start there. if actions are happening, have been happening, and will continue to occur, even under this federal moratorium. and to your point, we will be in the same placehat we were on saturday, october we are just kicking the can on the road. we in the tenant movement have always known that an eviction moratorium was not going to save us. we actually need, and the biden administration and congress, need to confront the system that commodified one of our basic needs, which is our homes, tells us that our homes are just someone else's investment with every eviction we allow, whether it is during a pandemic or not. what we're doing is prioritizing one person's process over another person's life, and that is not ok. amy: we just interviewed cori bush in the midst of her prote

far from kansas city here. we have a sitting congress person representing kansas city, missouri, emanuel cleaver ii. he is an ordained methodist minister. so these kind of ways that the training ground for family is the politics. so politics becomes very, very important. anytime you're running an organization, you're engaged in politics. whether you're the school principal or you're the superintendent. you still have to bring people together. and how are you going to do that? and when there are oppositions to your point of view, these are the kind of questions that -- these are kind of the training grounds where people learn, learn they're in their politics.

it is different outing kansas city, isn't it?this is one of those times when the fed bank presidenta add a lot because they are on the -- fed bank presidents can add a lot because they are on the ground in their district. they can see the course of the economy through the disease, and whether or not inflation is going to be a major issue. if esther george, who has always been an inflation hawk, isn't particularly concerned, then there's probably not a lot of concern out in the kansas city district. tom: the inflation us to -- the inflationistas are in retreat, but define a hawk right now. i don't think we know, do we? michael: it is angels dancing on the head of a pin. tom: that was almost the name of the show. [laughter] michael: a hawk is someone who wants the paper sooner. right now we are talking december, november, so if you're talking about a september announcement, it doesn't make that much difference. they are all kind of in the same boat at this point. there's less disagreement, and you heard her answer my question on th

each year since 1982, the kansas city fed has been honored to welcome central bankers, policymakers and others to jackson hole, wyoming for our economic always eat symposium. by hosting and -- a virtual conference last year it was our hope we could was in person this week, and that seemed a reasonable plan before local health conditions changed. i regret the inconvenience of this virtual format and i want to express my thanks to our partners at the jackson lake lodge and the others in the jackson hole area for working with us to make preparations and accommodations. we will open the program today with our first speaker, fed chairman jay powell, whose remarks will be broadcast to the public. following that, the remainder of the program, titled macroeconomic policy in an uneven economy, for invited guests. as always, the full agenda and each paper presented will be posted at our public website kansascityfed.org, and a transcript of the symposium will be made available after the event. it is my distinct honor to welcome federal reserve chairman jay powell. chairman powell, i want to enqueu

and of course we don't live far from kansas city here. tting congress person, representing the city of kansas city missouri, emmanuel cleaver the second. he is an ordained methodist minister. these kinds of ways, the training ground for family's politics. politics becomes very, very important because anytime you are running an organization you are engaged in politics. whether the school principal, or you are the superintendent. you still have to bring people together. how are you going to do that? when there's opposition to your point of view. these are the kinds of questions, the training grounds where people learn their politics. at the local level. so black people learned politics from their local organizations. one of the few women i want to point out to you is a woman i met when i was a high school student. addie why it. her maiden name was once cameron. 1924 to 2012. while i worked as a meatpacker between 1941 in 1954 combining that with looking after children, looking after the simply with her husband, increased involvement with the

he wanted to see the world's beyond rural kansas city area, the city of kansas city, i wanted to see the wider world as. well he had an interest in the world by his reading, primarily. he had the opportunity to serve and combat during world war i. president of the united states i would seek combat during world war i. we could dedicate an entire talked to his service in world war i and i of course don't have time to say too much but he served in france in 1918. he saw action in the mountains, the defensive, and for done. he commanded 194 men in an artillery battery and he further learned he could be a leader of men. he was firm but fair, and by all accounts the men liked him and respected him because he also showed an interest in them. he could be disciplinarian that also shown interest in the men on a personal level and they appreciated that. in fact, they gave him a token of appreciation. truman made important during his military service and served as a colonel and field artillery reserves and really, his military service was a real formidable event for him. next slide, please. he r

it is interesting to see that, through yesterday's close, here's kansas city southern and this is after been trading down about 60% from the offer, from canadian national. which, according to analystsality city, for example, indicated that, at least from an investor standpoint, there was a lot of skepticism about whether canadian national deal with hathaway so, who knows. >> there also was -- >> there was a lot, wasn't it? >> a lot of investers have been getting hot. and as far as antitrust regulation here and in china as well still a question about cp's strategy they could hang around till february, when this could drop dead on the cn side. so, we're not done yet we'll keep trying to explain it all to you as you see cp shares down 1.3%. not bad. >> not a cp friendly story but there you have it. >>> here's a look at the road map for the rest of the hour including a interstru with head of viking cruises. >>> plus lawmakers set to voteen the infrastructure bill at the top of the hour. we'll tell you what to expect. >>> we saw the s&p match a new record high. esg is responsible investing.

so in kansas city in about 1961 the national baptists met in kansas city and there was a controversial action going on. so this is from the king's -- you should look at this site, the king global site. as a controversial leader of the national baptist convention, he wasn't controversial, he was elected over and over again even if he had to do it kind of semi fraudulently. he's like a political leader, right? jackson often clashed with other baptist ministers including martin luther king jr. who believed jackson's opposition to the use of civil disobedience to achieve civil rights was too conservative. so you have to persuade your people at the convention who should be in. so jackson was not an uneducated man. very sophisticated. born in mississippi, went to jackson college, which is now jackson state university, then went to colgate rochester divinity school up in rochester, new york where frederick douglass is buried. then he came out here to the midwest, went to an interesting place to get an m.a. at a jesuit school, creighton university up north from us in omaha. he was ordained as

wilson's call to resist german aggression and he wanted to see the world beyond beyond rural and the kansas city area in the city of kansas city want to see the wide world as well. he had an interest in the world by his by his reading primarily and he had the opportunity to serve in combat during world war. i need to become the only president of the united states that would see combat during world war one. we could dedicate an entire clock to his service in in world war one and fortunately i don't of course don't have time to say too much, but he served in france in 1918. he saw action. in the village mountains the sand and sandy hell salient the offensive and verdun. he commanded 194 men in an artillery battery. and it is here that he further learned that he could be a leader of men. he was firm, but fair and by all accounts the men liked him and respected him. because he also showed an interest in them. he could be a disciplinarian but also showed an interest in the man on a personal level and appreciated that. in fact, they gave him a big silver loving cup as a token of appreciation after the

grandview is a town just south of kansas city. it is in the greater kansas city metro area, though. not far from independence. and it is here that truman is tall lie pictured here, he is on the right there, he assisted on his family's farm. as i mentioned, his father had some speculative businesses that went bust. and so truman was forced to move with his family to this farm that his grandmother owned and she's pictured there seated in the rocking chair. this is known as the young farm. that was his grandmother's name. truman engaged in numerous activities on the farm. driving horse-drawn plows, doing crop rotations, et cetera. corn and wheat were grown on the farm as were various kinds of livestock. now, this is around 1906, okay. so harry truman has graduated from high school in 1901 and then he had a series of odd jobs between 1901 and 1906 when he is forced to move on to the farm. he told about his numerous activities in letters to his friend and on again/off again girlfriend bess wallace who had become bess wallace truman in the future. he talked about the rigors of farm life a

i don't want an outbreak at an elementary school. >> reporter: kansas city reinstated mandate for the-- entire city requiring masks be western in all indoor spaces where six feet cannot be maintained, two days later the attorney general sued the city claiming he didn't have the power to make this decision. the a.g. posting on twitter the mask mandate is an orchestrated distraction and the restrictions are not about science but about politics. >> reporter: are you trying to infringe on the freedoms of people that live in the city? >> you know what i am trying to do is make sure that we can stay open. there are too many people in this state. and in this country who right now hen we are dealing with a real crisis have chosen, i think to divide us further. >> reporter: that political division now playing out inside local hospitals. >> i watched a woman send text messages to her sister yesterday, and calling her son to tell her they're-- they're putting the tube in and i hope i can talk to you again. putting the tube in and and these are voices that haunt me as i continue to try to take ca

the editor of "the kansas city call," african-american paper right here. i happened to have worked with marie rawls, her colleague, who was the first black woman to attend university of kansas school of journalism. i can remember working with these women. i see somebody nodding their head because you remember i did this. i can remember working with these women. i remember the stories that they would tell me about the days -- the press days and the struggles that they had. none of these women had a lot of money. they were humble. that's one of the things i think that we learn also from dunnigan, about her humility, about her steadfastness, despite it all the doors slamming, people telling her, you don't belong here, she knew she did. she kept going. lastly, most important, is she left her legacy through her writing. writing is fighting. we did a -- the students didn't know about her. we actually had lessons in kentucky to teach people about alice dunnigan. one student coined a phrase. she used her pen as a weapon. if anything you take away in looking at this

the early 19 '90s he came to kansas city to speak. i'm sure he won't remember this. i was conducting a campaign with petitions, banners, bumper stickers to bring real grass to the field at royals stadium. i was honored to sit next to him at lunch he gave me a learned disposition on the seven layer composition of grass at camden yards. i think he was on the orioles board at that point. we talked of the great groundskeeper whose work i was defending. george will was 25 commissioners revolutionize those to the existential benefit of the kansas city royals. i hope he has a 2005 world series ring. and he signed my petition too. perhaps along with this lecture series on churchill and his times is my one lasting contribution to civilization. and life activities central to george will's war he came back to kansas city again, i'm not going to remember this picture speak for the banquet i worked for in early 2000. i invited him to go with me to the negro league museum and told me he'd already been there early that morning. so he was on the advisory board. a citizen at work. i

simply put she is an authority on trails history, which is very much a part of kansas city's early history as a frontier town in western outposts. thank you for being here joy and i will turn it over to you. well, thank you and welcome everyone. i almost feel given the topic and the fact that we have descendants of the brides in our viewing audience that maybe you can think about hearing the strains of the bridal march and it might be appropriate for me to say please rise. during this presentation. i'm going to provide you a brief biography of the brides who traveled the santa fe trail and it's from the stories are from their reminisces memoirs diaries and letters but first, let me just give you a very brief framework about the santa fe trail trade soon after mexican independence in 1821 the santa fe trail evolved into an international trade route linking the us with santa fe in northern, mexico. the the trade was characterized by annual caravans of trail freighters who would leave, missouri and/or new mexico in the spring traveling in large groups for protection as they crossed over india

in the meantime, kansas city's southern shares are rallies, up something like 7% today on all this news top in the economy, because people are buys into that peak kind of argument? >> i think it's probably a bit of both. precision scheduled railroading has been the key strategy that's been implemented on most of the major class 1 railroads over the past couple years. when you tay psr, put it into place for a connected network that moves across these three countries there could be potential saves. that being said you're seeing more goods being movedly rail in the u.s. we are seer the trend of near-shoring and -- bringing more goods here, and then, of course, tariffing before it. so i think all these dynamics are at play. and there really is only one name right now that even potentially from a regulatory standpoint could be absorbed and that's kansas city southern, which is why you're seeing a bidding war taking place still ahead, national economic council brian deese on the infrastructure bill, and it is implications of it on the economy and potentially on inflation as well. let's also,

i want to play a video from 1976 in kansas city. >> if i could just take a moment.n assignment the other day. someone asked mess to write a letter for a time capsule that will be opened in los angeles a hundred years from now in our tri centennial. sounded like an easy assignment, they suggested i write something about the problems and issue of the day and i set out to do so writingng out the coast in automobile and looking at the blue pacific and santa ines mountains to the other and i couldn't imagine it would be that bull as the summer day and i start to write, let your own minds turn to that task. you're going to write for people a hundred years from now. will they look back with a appreciation and say thank god for those people in 1976 who headed off the loss of freedom, who kept us now 100 years later free, who kept our world from nuclear destruction. and if we failed, they probably won't get to read the letter at all because it spoke of individual freedom and they won't be allowed to talk. this is our challenge and this is why here in this hall tonight better

and while i was directing the trinidad museum properties, a colleague from the kansas city area, from the mccavy stage coach house came to visit and during the course of our conversation, he started telling me about stories of the santa fe trial on his end of the trail. i said, gee, wouldn't it be interesting if we could all get together who are running these museums and historical societies along the trail and share our stories of the santa fe trail trade in our specific area. so i had that idea but i sat on it for a couple of years and ran it up the flagpole with different people. and timing is everything. but in 1986, then, i approached the director of the colorado historical society, and everyone loved the idea of having a symposium on the santa fe trail. so we recruited david lavender, sandra myers, and dr. mark simmons to be our leading presenters of that symposium. we went ahead and incorporated the santa fe trail association at that time. this was before the internet, i might add. and so, it was quite a challenge to work with all the different museums and libraries and histori

so they're excited to watch today's preseason opener against the kansas city chiefs. here is what's new because of covid. fans are required to wear a mask indoors such as in the restrooms, clubs, and suites, and the new niners museum. however, you can take masks off outdoors. and you can still tailgate in the parking lot without a mask. fans we talked with say they're happy to follow the new guidelines. >> i'll wear a mask in there. whatever cautions i need to take, i'll take 'em. i think it's pretty safe right now with all the protocols they have. >> reporter: one thing you won't see at today's game is people arriving here on light rail. that's because the santa clara valley transportation authority has shut down light rail service since a mass shooting at the vta rail yard back in may. fans at today's game do not have to be fully vaccinated or get a covid test in order to attend. some of the fans i spoke with today say they are fully vaccinated but they plan to wear their masks at all times just as an added precaution. but they are very excited to be here. reporting

it's been a fiery week, in terms of the m & a back and forth, the nonbidding/bidding war kansas cityouthern is a bit higher today stock is up 7.5%, almost 8%, this after canadian pacific swooped back in with an upped offer, not quite as high as the rival, basically pitching to investors and shareholders ahead of the expected kansas city southern meeting next thursday that, hey, listen, we offer certainly, because they have all right gone that green light to be able to create a trust for a merger process to happen, which is expected to be a very long process, if either does. thatbeing said, last night it continued to unfold. kansas city southern coming out, the boor unanimously determining that it did not, quote, constitute a proposal. that being said, it did say they don't get a -- an answer from the stb before their meeting next thursday on whether canadian national can create one of these trust structures, which are so key to this deal being ability to move forward, that they will not hold that meeting and wait until after the stb decision, which analysts will tell you is a part of
