with me now is oklahoma state representative regina goodwin, chair of the oklahoma legislative black caucus. thank you so much, representative for joining us. >> thank you. >> i wonder what you make of the decision to have this speech in tulsa and also what you would have said to the president had he told you that he planned to deliver this speech in tulsa? >> well, in many case, he did tell us that he planned to deliver the speech and he will do so. what we say here in tulsa is we're not going to be distracted. we have real issues going on that need to be addressed and i tell you in many ways we have reached out to the federal government as it relates to the disadvantaged enterprise, support services which has not received funding from the federal government in the last few years. that would be helpful here in tulsa, oklahoma. as it relates to under the cover of covid-19, we see that affirmative action has been cut as it relates to contracting. there are real issues on the ground here in tulsa that we would like those federal dollars, our money to come back to oklahoma. as it relate

. >> reporter: for descendants of massacre survivors like regina goodwin, that message falls flat. >>ou had wealthy in tulsa at the time. their womealth did not protect them from racism. >> reporter: and as tulsa seeks to move forward, it must first look back. >> black folks have a story. we want white folks to begin to share the story. but the accurate stoerry. >> right here, june 1, 1921. >> reporter: here only two graves mark the dead from that massacre. and the location of most bodies are unknown. >> right here where this road goes downs middle of democraticoaklawn cemetery and they dug trenches. now this man works to find those who didn't survive, soon digging to find the remains of those who were lost. generations separated from tulsa's darkest day, a chance to change course. >> so if we learn anything from this, we're getting an opportunity to see whether or not man's inhumanity to man has changed at all. >> reporter: wolf, earlier this week the governor of oklahoma suggested that president trump should go to glereenwood to lea more, but one reason that that is unlike is that r

thank you, state representative regina goodwin. let me move to the firing of u.s.ttorney for the southern district of new york. joining me now is hugh hewitt and michelle goldberg, columnist for "the new york times." michelle, let me start with you. usually, we see u.s. attorneys removed in administrations, new administrations come in and a new president appoints or nominates new u.s. attorneys or if there's some discrepancy, failure ethically or legally, or if someone wants to retire. none of these seems to be in place here for mr. burman. in fact, he was investigating several of the people very close to this president, which has led to the open speculation of many of us that this may have something to do with the removal of mr. burman, particularly the way it was done and the way mr. burman had initially responded. i am a avid reader of your columns. i can't wait to hear you explain what you think happened. so i won't wait. i'm going to ask you now. >> well, i mean, one of the -- it's difficult, because this president is corrupt in so many different ways. there a
