there is a lot to love about e oklahoma. i love a lot about oklahoma. oklahoma is home to the flaming lips, of course, and to the country's most underrated national star singer/songwriter john moreland who lives in tulsa, oklahoma, and i'm obsessed with. oklahoma is where judy woodruff and bill moyer lives. it's impossible not to love oklahoma. and in the 2020 election last year you know how they do thosey maps of the election results? where each county is colored in red or in blue depending on which candidate that county voted for? well, in 2020 in oklahoma here was what that map looked like for oklahoma. oklahoma has 77 counties. the map is really simple to make because all 77 of oklahoma's counties, all 77 of them voted for donald trump. trump won oklahoma by more than 33 points. only wyoming and west virginia gave trump bigger margins in the 2020 election. oklahoma does have democrats. they do. great ones and smart ones and ambitious ones and the legislature, oklahoma democrats are really nice feisty. but come time for a state wide election, a presi

not only in tulsa, oklahoma this is the martial law declared by the governor of oklahoma back in 1921. the governor of the time was governor, jb 8 robertson. eli is a native of tulsa, oklahoma joining us next on the air. go ahead, please. hi and hello. good morning, dr. johnson and good to see on tv this morning. could you go back and explain to the public the allotments of the freedmen particularly the creek friedman, which was one million 94,248 acres much of it around the tulsa area. in the cherokee friedman allotments and who they were that contributed. to the great wealth of the black community such as greenwood and the other all black towns in eastern, oklahoma that was formerly in the in territory often this left out of the conversation and one of your callers earlier was talking about the oil and gas and the industry and how much of their land was part of that oil and gas industry as well. it's important of agriculture in the state's economy back in those days. it's it's really missing in the connection of greenwood, what's wealthy white tulsa tulsa was wealthy and we often le

even here in oklahoma, between oklahoma statehood, 1907, and 1920, the year just prior to the massacre in 1921, there were 33 lynchings in oklahoma. 27 of those lynching victims were black. so we have these twin terrors in the united states during this period. race riots, or so-called race riots on the one hand and lynching, domestic terrorism on the other. so we're living in this period in a sort of racial crucible. and which black people essentially have no place to run, no safe haven, given the span of institutional systemic racism of the worst kind. >> and again, we want to share with you some of these photographs. we realize that they are disturbing. so if it does bother you just be forewarned, but just some of the scenes immediately after what happened. this from june 1st, 1921, 100 years ago, our guest is hannibal johnson, he's written extensively about this, including black wall street, 100, an american city grapples with its historical racial trauma and one of the headlines from the tulsa world in the aftermath the dead estimated at 100. of course now today it's estimated at o

he's now oklahoma state legislator representing greenwood.he meets don ross -- don ross meets brian and said, as horrible has the bombing is, there is another story that has never gotten the attention it needs. and ross gave him copy of a death in a promise land. ten days later, don and i each got a call from a "today" show producer that said on the 75th anniversary, the "today" show will do a story. this was gigantic. in 1982 when my book came out, there was not a news story in a national news media with the massacre since the 1920s. a lot of things started coming together. black wall street, money is raised for the memorial. there will be a ceremony and all that. nbc comes. they interview, they film a bunch of survivors. they film me as well. and they put together this story. and this is great. but i thought about two weeks out, i realized, well, shoot. if the "today" show is doing this story, i bet i can leverage that to get more press. so i got on the phone. in a week i got "the new york times," the associated press, national public radio

once they crossed into oklahoma, it changed. she was so outraged she sat in the black car and refused to move. here she comes to tulsa, her husband is a lawyer, he gets a job, she tries to get a job but can't because she's a woman. she said, when i had a chance to have a job interview, the first question would be how fast do you type. partners in the law firm would invite her out for dinner and she got so frustrated, she finally threw in the towel on lawyering and instead started to teach at the university of tulsa in the sociology department. tu in the late '40s, this is a local university. it's not a national, international place. all the students are white with maybe an occasional asian or near eastern student, petroleum engineering student. all the kids are local. they're not from chicago, st. louis. and so she starts teaching sociology and she throws herself into it. and since she had been an athlete, she was interested in recreation. so she ended up meeting the only african-american professional employee of the city of tul

the day reports to the national guard, you will not find them at the oklahoma so historical -- oklahoma historical society. some but he got rid of them. discussions of the massacre became discouraged to say the least. there was a tolson oilman -- a tosa --a oilmantulsa who wrote "victims in -- photos of victims in awful positions were sold on the street. " that starts to fade away. reverend charles kerr wrote " for 20 years i have been boosting and boasting of tulsa. but the events of the past week will put a stop to bragging for a while. " i grew up on a first presbyterian. i was baptized and confirmed there. around the first time my first book came out, first presbyterian put out a commemorative history and talked glowingly about the church had a sheltered -- had sheltered african-americans during the master. what they neglected to point out was three days later they ran advertisements in the tribune do now thing -- announcing that the church had been fumigated, with the implication that it would be now say for white people to come in it. so, there is this curtain of silence. i grew u

but once they crossed into oklahoma, that changed.she was so outraged that she sat in the black car and refused to move. so here she comes into tulsa. her husband is a lawyer and gets a job off -- right away. she tries to get a job, but she can't because she's a woman. she said whenever i would have a chance for a job interview, the first question would be how fast can you type? partners in the law firm would invite her out to dinner and all that. she got so frustrated that she finally threw in the towel on being a lawyer and just started to teach at the university of tulsa in the sociology department. now, the university of tulsa and the forties, it is a local university. it is not a national or international school. all the students are white with maybe an occasional asian or near eastern student, petroleum engineering student. all of the kids are local. they aren't from chicago or st. louis. so she starts to teach sociology and she throws herself into it. since she had been an athlete, she was interested in recreation. so she ended

it is fantastic to be bipartisan, and obviously, in oklahoma city, we want the infrastructure however congress has to pass it, but if it is bipartisan, a great statement for the country, and certainly to make everybody feel good and much better about this, but however it happens, there's some critical stuff in here, transit and roads and bridges as that you talked about to do so much good for people of oklahoma city. >> and mayor what ily, and taub about da -- mayor whaley, let's talk about pothole issues in ohio, and the president wants to call human infrastructure? >> he is taking a page from the mayors' playbook and that is why he is successful. this is things that people need in the communities and the other piece about the infrastructure bill that is so important is that it takes daytonians and oklahoma cityians to do this work, and make the roads to provide for our families and it is on the cusp of, and mayors are saying to get this done. >> and mayor holt, what about that, the spending on the human infrastructure, and the republicans in the congress don't support the expansion

he is the republican mayor of oklahoma city. mayor met with president biden to talk about that bipartisan infrastructure framework, but does he also support the democrats $3.5 trillion reconciliation package? it is possible that for any reconciliation bill to pass, all of it might need to pass. mayor david holt joins us now. mr. mayor, welcome to the program. good to have you with us. >> hi. good evening. thanks for having me. >> what were you big takeaways after the meeting on wednesday? >> well, a couple of things. first of all, i think there's some real hope here. if you are in the mayor world, you have been hearing about infrastructure for the better part of a decade, and i really feel like we might be on the goal line here with something tangible and real that would really make a difference in cities like mine. roads and bridges, transit, passenger rail, i mean major investment in all of those areas are a part of the bipartisan infrastructure framework of $1.2 trillion, and it feels ream. it feels like we might really get t

land allotment really sets up the state of oklahoma. and unfortunately it happens. the supreme court decision establish these reservations still exist and never stopped existing. but it still reneges on the original promise made to the 55 tribes. there's never american settlement at all. >> so, the next question i want to ask is about the relationship about native and black people during this time. now that leads to today. it ties into question some in the q&a. the question what to ask you, how that ties to colonialism. and this ties to a question someone asked in the chat about assimilation. they're asking specifically about the use of the words of choice. saying indigenous people chose to assimilate into white norms rather than were coerced. i wonder if you could talk a little bit more about how these problematic perspectives developed but how it plays in that and how these issues exist today. >> i talk about parts of assimilation with anti- blackness as choices because the fact that the five tribes in part because they were slave owners. they were members of othe

in towns like oklahoma land allotment. so the african-americans in the native territory are already expecting a different experience because they know that there are opportunities and that there is a different kind of landscape because of tribal sovereignty because these black people do have the right and the jury is going up in 1907 and one in the united states, much of that as kind of been unfortunately rewound by white violence and terrorism and a lot of these black politicians in office have been taken out there still black people in the indian territory of councils of the sea is different. and this is why migration there is really part of the century really such a large part of population and that is why the district is the district of black people who used from wealth from their land allotment and sometimes - also people department get educations and things like that read and they really create that community that we now think of as black wall street. rose: thank you so we have a number of questions in the check. i'm

look what happened in oklahoma. >> oklahoma! >> look what's happening in texas.ise. the beast wants more and i, to this point, don't know where the beast is going it's unheard of that an abbott would be challenged from the right, that a langford would be castigated by a party chairman these things i'm seeing are just unheard of. >> we spent a segment debating the progressives and pragmatists in the democratic party. there should be a debate there's not a debate on the republican side. he brought up greg abbott. yet, he's the moderate now compared to alan west. >> he's hardly a moderate. look what he's doing in texas. >> he thinks he has to do that. >> he has to, but i also don't think he has a problem with it >> they are looking for the wedge issues which they think will drive out their base. the democratic party, we did just talk about progressives versus moderates, whether eric adams is the new face of the democratic party i don't necessarily agree with that but the democratic party is a big-tent party that's not true for republicans. al, as you said, that kbee

mr.smith: thank the gentlemanfrom oklahoma. we are debating a spending bill under a budget that doesn't exist. six months into joe biden's presidency and a democrat-controlled congress, we are have not passed a budget for fiscal year 2022. democrats have been in the majority for over 1,000 days and they have yet to put a real budget on the floor of the house of representatives. in this bill before us today, democrats want to give washington bureaucrats an averaging increase of 21% giving bureaucrats a raise by 21%. their plan will fuel a massive amount of red tape that will harm small businesses. it will hurt working americans and families and it gives washington more control over their lives and livelihoods but notice what they have left out. what they have left out, where is money to protect our homeland? where's money for our men and women in uniform? perhaps our colleagues have not brought these bills to the floor because they are ashamed to face the american people and explain why they want to flat line spending for our me

and it's not just in oklahoma.he big lie, and loyalty to the former president. >> yeah, i think that's part of it, is loyalty. i think the thing that's disturbing is a lot of the people who are doing this are not watching this program. they watch other programs. they have other news sources. a lot of them, you know, may be nuts, but a lot of them actually believe what they're saying. they believe what trump is saying because that's the news sources that they depend upon. i think lankford, back to oklahoma, lankford is not going to be in any problem. i think he's going to easily win his primary, and then probably easily win reelection. but it does say something that this is happening all across the country. where the people who are the most zealous and really the ones who know the least about what's true and what's not true are able to take over an organization, and then she shut other people up. people become afraid to stand up to them. it's the intimidation factor because what will bring trump in and what will den
