as you look at your work on michael brown's case, what goes through your mind as you look ahead to this case of derrick chauvin and george employed in -- floyd? >> it's like so many cases. there's trayvon martin, freddie gray, michael brown. each one of them sort of boils down to a kind of power struggle in which we're -- when a white shootses and killing a black, it revokes imagery of our past, our shameful racist past, the oppression blacks is lived under and brings forward a moral power that is really considerable. so an event like this, freddie gray, is covered all over the world, there's so much power there. seems to confirm the idea that racism is systemic. that it touches every area of life. the minorities are not forever, almost for breathing air, victimized by racism. and therefore empowered to change society, to have an impact on society. and they do. look at what freddie gray has transformed corporate america already in a matter of months. major corporations have diversity programs, include programs, all sorts of symbolic gestures to indicate that they're not a part of that ugly shameful racist past. >> martha

george biden is president and i won't go down that road. host: michael in wilmington, north carolina n. democrats line. hello caller: hello, how you doing this morning. guest: gooders thank you. -- good, thank you. caller: regardless of the capitol being -- regardless the election has been stolen, the whole point of the matter is the fact that over 400 years our people have been depressed. the voting rights. everything that has been against us for so long for people of color, people of mexican, hispanic, and indant descent has been such a -- indian descent has been such a trying -- it's been so long for this -- for us to stop this nonsense that's been going on for so long. people so leaning on the fact that there is a voting process, the -- what happened with the capitol, malcolm x. martin luther king, medgar evers, all of this has been going on for so long. it's time for us to stop the nonsense. it's time for us to stop judging everything out of a box of crayons. people hate on a box of crayons knowing they all can make a beautiful portrait. host: calle

george floyd a chance to live. so that's the case straightforward for the prosecutors, all of the elements of this and the defense is going to do what we've seen them do to trayvon, michaelown, everybody, they're going to try to attack the character of george floyd. in law school, craig, they taught us in trial practice, if you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. if you don't argue the facts, try to attack the character of your opponent in hopes it will distract people from the facts. so we have to make shore no matter what they say about george floyd, we are not distracted from what we see on that video. >> a lot of folks then i think are probably unaware in the state of minnesota, and this isn't the case with the majority of states in this country but in the state of minnesota, and you correct me if i'm wrong here, my understanding is the actual act that the knee on the neck, they don't have to prove that was the sole cause of death, they only have to prove that that was a substantial contributing factor to his death. is that your understanding of the law? and if that's the case, what does that then mean for the prosecution, does it make their case any easier

next on lectures in history, flag lure college michael butler teaches a class on post civil rights era music. highlighting george clinton, marvin gay and others. he describes how in the 19 seventies, african american artists such as johns like funk and soul, emphasized black identity and their music. flag alert college provided the video. >> okay guys welcome to the latest lecture which is rock and roll history in the united states i am doctor butler and today the topic that we are going to address is black rock during the post civil rights era. i will share my screen and with that in mind let's go ahead and get started the timeframe we are using for the lecture today is 1966, to 68. those are the historical starting points, in 1966 for reasons that will become clear as we progress. and 1978 is the release date, of the last work of art that we are going to mention today. so to set the historical context, one of the things that we have to do, is situate the music into the historical period so that the connection between a period, and the art is abundantly clear. what then do we mean, when we use the term, in acad

this bill is about valuing life giving worth to george floyd's life and all the other lives like michael brown. we are not at this point looking to water the bill down. we are looking to nanl. but most of all we're looking for the senate to pass a bill. we hope it will be consistent with the george floyd justice in policing bill from the house. but they didn't even pass a bill that captured the past president's executive order. let them begin to work. let them put something forward. we have the ability to go to conference where both houses meet together. but i will tell you, this bill deserves to be passed, signed by the president and not watered down. >> okay. i want to pivot really quick to coronavirus, because your state republican governor greg abbott decided to roll back the state mask mandate. i see you're obviously wearing a mask and others. and business restrictions. how do you view this? why do you view this as such a dangerous decision? >> it is a stunning and shocking decision. and it is not based on science. in fact it may be based on politics. it's dangerous because we are t

when we mournfully say the names of george floyd, brie anna taylor, eric garner, michael brown, orlando casteeo, freddie gray, and the list goes on and on and on and on. enough, my colleagues. enough. we must change the psychology of how we treat people. i don't mean police alone, i mean all of us. but all of us don't carry guns. all of us have not been given extraordinary authority by the public we serve. and because we give certain people in this country extraordinary authority to take our freedom away, and yes, to take our lives away, we must ensure accountability to the use of that power, just the voters ensure accountability for the power they give to us. when we hear about african-american parents having to teach their sons to act in encounters with police so they don't become victims, it's time for change. and when we feel the energy of americans of every faith and every age, taking peacefully to the protests, we know that change must come now. i know how you lament the use of violence. i saw that on january 6. peaceful demonstrations. martin luther king was locked up. rosa parks

good but after the drumbeat of false narratives not just with respect to george floyd but going all the way back to before that, michael brown and treyvon martin, it it plummeted during 30 points much during the obama administration with the first black president. continuing to hammer this a falsehood is only dividing americans, not solving any problems. shannon: they spent a lot of money trying to secure that area. mike tobin was there for days, weeks on the ground as we watch distraction that affected people of every race and backgrounds, business owners who were devastated by what happened. today this is what we hear about the area. washington examiner says black lives matter and antifa allied activists shutdown several streets surrounding the courthouse for several hours activists chanted and marched up and down blocks in minneapolis calling for justice and a guilty verdict against chauvin. those who don't like the way this is being set up, others -- they were peaceful today but wants to be heard and they say justice will only be a conviction. >> regardless what you think of the case there is a trial. facts are goi

michael goodwin. power panel now, marc thiessen former speech writer for president george w.ibutor. nomiki worked for bernie sanders. marc, you've written for presidents before. why hide him? you could write things for him and he could come prepared to answer some tough questions. >> exactly. this is as you pointed out the longest a president in 100 years has gone without having a formal press conference. that means that even silent calvin coolidge had more press conferences in his presidency than joe biden has. the administration, "politico" reported the administration officials are pleasantly surprised at his gaffe-free start of his presidency. tell that to what's his name, the guy who runs the outfit over there, the secretary of defense who he couldn't remember his name. plenty of gaffes but it is hard to have gaffes when you are not holding press conferences. when ever event you have is scripted event with a teleprompter. it is not surprising that he hasn't had any gaffes. now we'll finally see the president and whether he can hold his own or whether he will be asked -- a

michael oakshot's great essay rationalism and politics. he quotes oakshot saying dreaming and ruling generates tyranny. he's a george willis the great critic of the overreaching overheated progressivism of our time. tyranny and defenses against it are the subject of churchill's great iron curtain speech and like george will he finds the greatest defense in the heritage and tradition of the rule of law exemplified by the british unwritten constitution and the very well written american constitution. they are our civil religion. george will quotes antonin scalia saying we don't have a monarch. we have a constitution. and himself refers to the making of the constitution and its defense by madison and hamilton as our luminous moment. churchill speaks in the iron curtain speech about magna carta the bill of rights habeas corpus trial by jury english common law and most famously the declaration of independence. it is my hope then in the work that i do today at the as director of the institute of museum and library services of the federal government as we head into the 250th anniversary of the founding. we can find this lu
