the endpoint the end of the timeline is 2036 by 2024 florida is in the democratic column 2028 north carolina goes and then arizona all of those states go blue even the deeper red now a little bit lighter red republican with democratic wings all the way ou out. for the second scenario. in 2016 the african-american turnout went down then shifted to the republican party donald trump did slightly better among african-american voters than mitt romney would increase turnout among african-americans and the shift back to the democratic party this is what actually happened he 16 and as we shift forward in time we see pennsylvania, michigan florida north carolina, which barack obama did not win in 2012 with a four rates would result in the flip and also joining the democratic column it is one of the few states where african-american population is growing and doing so quite quickly as a result the dynamics of these higher levels of african-american would flip this into the democratic column this is a huge win for democrats if that would occur with the electoral college would be won by 339 there isn't t

it spawned several tornadoes including in north carolina. it damaged homes and knocked down trees and power lines. schools across the region are closed today due to extensive damages. and over 100,000 customers across the southeast are without power. in parts of the midwest it's still looking like winter. minnesota is digging out from over a foot of snow. and blizzard conditions are wreaking travel havoc. hundreds of flights are grounded. all this as more severe weather could be on the way. >> nbc meteorologist bill karins is tracking these storms for us. bill, good morning. >> good morning. what an incredible storm over the weekend. the classic spring storm system we're done with the severe weather threat. we're almost done with all the snow. we still have to deal with a lot of heavy rain. flash flood during the morning commute and hundreds if not thousands of flights canceled in majorly delayed in the northeast today because all the heavy rain is now over d.c., coming up over philly, new york city and right through southern new england dou

on new year's day 1942, after the attack on pearl harbor, it was played in north carolina. most would enlist and fight in world war ii. in "fields of battle", brian curtis writes about the historic game and those who played it. from the savannah book festival, this is just under an hour. hour. >> good morning, book lovers. i'm delighted to welcome you to the 11th annual savannah book festival presented by georgia power, david and nancisy tron, the sheehan family foundation and mark and patsy. many thanks to our sponsors for this glorious venue, the trinity united methodist church. we'd like to extend special thanks to our literary members and individual doansers who make and continue to make saturday's free festivals possible. 90% of our venue, of our revenue comes from donors just like you. thank you. we are very excited to have a savannah book festival app available for your phone this year. it's easy to get it from the app store and there are directions in your programs. please try to download it. it will help you today. before we get started, i have a couple of housekee

citizen, and return to north carolina. his crisis of allegiance to the confederacy called into question whether god's relationship to the people was knowable, or if matters were situational and open to revision. the war did not trigger a crisis in faith in keever, he discovered that they could not afford to rely on god absolutely and unconditionally if you hope to survive in the ranks. alexander keever was a providential private test -- private test. john foster in the one 55th pennsylvania, looked to the 1864 spring campaign with trepidation. down, hewas breaking had not recovered from his gettysburg wound, which he released on july 2. his captain was not sympathetic to his situation. coming, promotion expecting it every day. said you are going to have to carry a musket, carry your cartridge box with ammunition. he was more than disappointed. superior was persecuting him. he expressed that to his wife. shame in positive giving me a gun to carry. if we go on a hard march and i cannot carry the gun and keep up, i will throw

they win all those blue wall states and north carolina. so that strikes me as if you think about what's been happening since trump was elected and you look at all the special elections and the virginia elections, that scenario seems entirely realistic to me. that's actually without anybody doing anything because so much of what's happening on the ground, and i can tell you this as someone who works on campaigns, is actually organic. it's not because democrats are specifically doing anything to generate this level of participation and enthusiasm. people are just desperate to do something. as i say, i think the implication for democrats is you can win without worrying about white noncollege voters. i think that's problematic from a moral perspective. sean wrote a really interesting paper that i sort of mostly agree with in the sense that you can't -- you negotiation real events happen. 9/11 happened. world war irngsi happened. things shift and realign. we can project out from these numbers, but nothing is sort of set in stone and nothing is

my district in north carolina is served by one of the clinics that's operated by north carolina central university school of law, a fine institution just west of my house. north carolina central's motto is truth and service, and this clinic allows individuals to come and get tax assistance from law school students who work under the supervision of the staff attorney there at the law school. i appreciate the hard work that those volunteers are doing in my communities. this legislation before us today would allow the i.r.s. to notify our various constituents of these clinics and their services, and these clinics play an important role by helping taxpayers, and i'm pleased to see this legislation move forward and the help it will give to our constituents making them aware of the tools available in their own communities. mr. speaker, this is a practical proposal that will improve taxpayers' experience with the i.r.s., and i would like to thank congressman lewis from georgia, my colleague on the ways and means committee, my friend, for partnering with me on this bill. this bill was approved

so white southern liberalism, as embodied by wk couch, the editor of the university of north carolina press, right? they've staked out a position between these two extreme, and you see this in the article, right, they've staked out this position between two extremes, right, the extremes of the kkk, the extremes of the racial terrorists, but check this, right, watch this, and the extremism of the naacp. right? so i want you to point -- i want you to see there, right, the problematic, right, what's ultimately going to be a very problematic sort of positioning between the klan and an organization that is, in the words of w.e.b. dubois, trying to get the constitution enforced. right? so a position between the klan and the naacp, right, the middle ground that white southern liberals are trying to preserve is still a middle ground that is an advocate that supports segregation. right? and we see that in here. and so the idea for southern moderates and liberals is, look, segregation should not go anywhere. segregation should stay here. however, maybe we can make some moves within the confines
