graves, a former slave posing with her free born grandchildren in macon, georgia, it's a studio portrait so she paid to have this picture made. i would remind you of that first picture of dolly and that idea of having to hold someone else's child on your lap and pose for the picture of your owner as sort of the human chair for their child and what that experience must have been like for somebody like dolly and then contrast it with what this experience of having her own portrait made, right, of mrs. graves, going to the photographer's studio with her grandchildren, her free born grandchildren. this woman who had survived slavery, right, to go to the studio and pause with her grandchildren on her lap and have that be the story that she told to her grandchildren and to her family about who she was and what freedom looked like for her, right, is a very different story than what some of those antebellum images and what some of those wartime images would tell us about what freedom and emancipation's legacies looked like. thank you.

i would also point out that i spoke to doctor macon this morning prayed he said the guidance issued was the follow-up to june 30th guidance that they put out, it was guidance that they gave department to the coal companie to provide them with more regulatory clarity. a chance for him to outlaw his vision. is that a specific plan and a second part of that, does he think they can address the challenges on healthcare solely through executive function part. >> the president will be laying out his healthcare vision today. i don't want to get ahead of what that will look like that will be tangible actions taken. as well as the president really weighing out, something i think has been overlooked grades of the real contrast between what obama care gave us between 2013 and 2017 and what the president has delivered. i think we have a graphic to that effect. with obama care it is a fact from 2013 to 2017, premiums in this country went up. in fact they went up by 105 percent on the individual market. you can track that was presiden trump and what he's managed to do by rolling back a lot of obama ca

if you were going to macon on the record tape comment about a virus that was blowing up and you were going to say things like it was deadly, yet didn't know if this evolves or if this changes, i'm going to be held t account for these comments. maybe this wasn't the best time to have a reporter come in and ask you questions with a virus that was evolving with news tha was evolving, approaching in election season knowing full well you're the president of th united states and the buck stop with you. the whole thing is odd. may be president trump wanted t do this in the name of transparency and said i'm going to speak my mind and be honest. the problem isn't what he said on tape, the problem is with hi actions that followed that in other mediums on social media and the advice that was given t the public. the advice given to the public needed to follow suit with what we heard the president say on tape. in order to say the president had information and with that information he advised accordingly. unfortunately, looking back, that's not how people are going to feel it. >> i want to go to y

supreme court in november so if a macone barrett decides to hand down a judgment on roe versus wade based on biblical or catholic interpretations of scripture as opposed to the law as it stands in shrines in the united states of america that's a massive contradiction. i think that eases your general problem yes that's why i wrote that article last me because i think that we shouldn't in this very day it's face value her statements that her faith will not in someone's rescissions on the court that was a substantial problem so technically we don't talk about fundamentalism but in digger ollie's i'm so this you of faith and the secular world as one into the problem is that even the states he's involved are allegiance multicultural country and the supreme court has become incredibly. very briefly because with we've we have run out of time really briefly if we extract the concept of religion from these groups that you are talking about and if we extract the concept of the catholic faith from this one particular group what's the difference between people of praise and joining a cult there are a

that was the argument that reagan was macon. it meant that government was actually spending a lot more money, not in the same things that they have been spending money on before, listen education. it's during this period ladies and gentlemen that college tuition really starts to rise because there's less money from this federal government and state governments four to push, and guess who pays for? it all of. it all of you. so more money is going into defensive. policing college campuses are safer but students are paying more. it's a reallocation of resources, it's a spending of more money, but a spending of more money and more things for particular groups of people. it means more local control but more federal spending to secure local control. providing security for local communities to do as they wish. providing security for local communities to do as they wish and to some extent that creates a long term economic problem for the united states. the benefit is that this system is prevent a basis for safety and innovation, it's pr

think of, everything possible to ensure i'm ready to address one of the most difficult decisions that macon front me as a united states senator. while the debate about the president's conduct rages on, there is one area where almost everyone agrees and that is the need to conclude this episode as quickly and as efficiently as possible. i do not mean that the people in congress are to rush to judgment. after a year obsessed with this subject, we are beyond rushing. the consensus i'm referring to is the need for all involved to act with sober deliberations and also with the sense of urgency as we approach the final stages of this difficult and divisive controversy. if a recent election result told us anything, if elected first learned anything it was that the american people want the house to end the political posturing and get on with the process and resolve the issue so we can then get on with the nation's business. the american people based on polling data and the ultimate poll elections seem to have made up their mind on this issue. now it's time for members of the house to make their min

macon decision, which accounted for 100 schools. it is a tribute to the fact that the federal government and black leaders, the naacp, and other organizations, went out and risk everything else to desegregate public education. >> dan carter, when you hear the words law and order, and militants, are those code words? >> absolutely. they do not like this year, -- they do not like this here, but television plays a critical role in the political will process -- in the political process. you are aware that everywhere you're saying is being captured on film. you have to be careful. it is the sense of political correctness. you have to be careful about how you say it. you learn a different language. it is the language in which you, which out -- without ever referring specifically to race, talk about race. nobody was better at it than governor wallace. whenever he wanted to complain about the federal government and forcing housing, non- discrimination, he did not talk about them making african americans living closer to you, he talked about

as early as 1976, discrimination on the basis of a hairstyle associated with a certain race or macon statute racial discrimination. it appears to me the behavior we are seeking to make illegal is already illegal. both at markup and on the floor, our colleagues have made arguments about why this bill is necessary while we agree that the activity we are talking about is already illegal. that doesn't take anything away from the discrimination, and embarrassment any of those young men or women have felt in those single things but i'm not sure the bill solves the problem. we should examine whether the bill is necessary. our committee should have held a hearing with the victims with the sort of diss kim nation that the democrats say this bill is designed to help or have legal scholars and individuals responsible for enforcing our nation's civil rights laws to determine if this bill will achieve what it is intended to do. schools can have race-neutral policies and also have policies that have a disparate racial impact. this is particularly true when the policy is necessary for critical func
