trump had encouraged the national guard to be armed. itially a group of guardsmen had been carrying guns while standing outside monuments, but the bulk of the forces, such as those working with federal park police in lafayette square did not carry firearms out of caution. all of the roughly 5000 guard ploy to washington have been told not to use weapons or ammunition. president trump, when he came praisedhe rose garden, the work of the secret service and national guard and invoked the name of george floyd. he was what president trump said. >> it is time for us to work together as we rebuild. renew and recover the promise of america. we are going to work together. it will all work out. some governors may need help, but they are in good shape. military, haveic fantastic national guard. national guard was barely used. these people have done an unbelievable job. the secret service. secret service, by the way, are unbelievable. there was never any form of like, oh, this sounds dangerous. all i could see was what i was seeing on television. th

it's also playing out at city halls all across the nation. you've seen the city of minneapolis take a number of steps. and they're appointing a citizen's task force to look at reforms in that police department. this is the watch. so, we want please reform. and i think behind that is absolutely criminal justice reform. and before that, their economic reforms. this is that moment. these are spontaneous, organic, and passionate. i think we have to hear what people are saying and i hope peep hear what people are saying. they want change. >> you're absolutely right. part of the power on the streets of the united states right now is there is no clear leadership. as you say, it's more organic. a lot of grass rootsz descent. that means there's no clear leader right now. a lot of different voices. so, who will determine the path forward? >> i think the people were. i think we're in a different time. i think maybe we look to a traditional organizing model where there's a leader, a structure. social media has changed that. what you have is an orchestra a

we are here at the seminole nation museum, located in the capital of the seminole nation of oklahoma, wewoka, oklahoma. what we have here today is different exhibits that portray the history of the seminole people. as a people, before we were separated from our homes, from our original homes in florida. i am actually the twin chief. i am the assistant chief of the seminole nation of oklahoma. i came into office in 2013. this is 2019, i'm in my second term. i have two more years to fulfill this second term. of over 500 native tribes in america, the seminoles are a tribe of people of interest. part of that interest is because of the defiance the seminoles put up during the conflicts and earlier history to not be defeated. the only tribe in american history to never surrender when there was a war being fought against them. would never surrender to the united states nor sign an official peace declaration with the united states, was the seminole. that brings ambience to both people that live within the united states and internationally. i think international people know who the seminoles a

in harlem the indian nation and revolt was embodied by one man. x. in photographs he projects a role intensity to match his stated indignation at the abuse that american blacks have suffered. malcolm x. was the spokesman for the nation of islam the black muslim movement that preached supremacy of blacks over whites. at the start of the 1960 s. the media were constructing a combat that stirred the civil rights debate malcolm x. versus martin luther king leader of the civil rights movement who was fighting against segregation in the southern states. martin luther king the hero of nonviolent resistance was a favorite target of markham acts white men haven't much subsidize robin martin luther king so that revenue looking can continue to think the negroes to be defense. martin luther king never responded to malcolm's attacks he never agreed to debate with him the only time the ever met in washington the 2 men shook hands but barely spoke to each other. but one photo remains edged into memories an image that brings together the 2 opposing dreams of the blac

so you served in the d.c. national guard. >> i did. that's right. >> to follow on nick's question, were you surprised that a medical helicopter from the d.c. national guard was used to intimidate people who were peacefully assembling and secondly as this goes on you've -- assembling? and secondly, as this goes on you've asked the secretary of the army to look into this who tasked the helicopter. was the helicopter under the authority of the department of justice? is that why there is this murkiness of how the helicopter -- how a medical helicopter was used in an aggressive form. -- form? >> these are the details we've had to tease out, was this at the request of law enforcement. you made a statement it was to intimidate protesters. i got a report back that they were asked by law enforcement to look at a checkpoint, a national guard check point to see if there were protesters around so there is conflicting reports. i don't want to add to that. we need to let the army conduct the inquiry and get back to see what the facts are. >> when you

the president doesn't have many incentives to try to unite the nation right now donald trump essentially in his tweets has played to his republican base he's made simple tweets calling for a law and order he's argued this with the when the shooting started the looting starts and this plays to republicans who support strong policing measures against what they see as illegitimate protests but this is unlikely to feel the democrats particularly as we've seen heard this is hard to think if increasing in the united states the president has very few bill it is to get democrats over to his side and because there are relatively few structural incentives for him to try to bridge the gap between the left and the right in america it seems unlikely that he would be able to deliver or have any reason to deliver a unity message through a national speech done a chronic presidential hopeful joe biden discussed the protests with community leaders in delaware where he condemned trump's comments about the protesters. go off by the way that. nobody can predict. how do you longer what this is all about. nobo

the national guard is. e men and women of the national guard of the 50 states and the district and the territories operating under legitimacy vilian control of the governors, they are the right backstop, when law enforcement no longer has the capacity -- >> reporter: general, i'm sorry -- i'm sorry -- i'm sorry to interrupt, but i've only got 30 seconds. i want to ask about that point, the national guard in the states are being led by the governors. we just heard the mayor of washington, d.c. criticize the fact that the guard in d.c. have gone from 1,200 to over 4,500. do you believe that so many national guard on the streets of d.c. could be a problem? >> well, you know, the district of columbia, as the mayor indicated, is a unique environment. it is a federal entity. the national guard in the district of columbia operates under federal authority and, as the mayor indicated that she has questioned some of the policy, the legal authorities for the use national guard from other states in the city of washingto

it is a somber day as the national guard gets called forward again for additional support. i've spoken with the governor many times, this is a mission that we as the national guard boast -- is most distasteful is where we have to come in and support law enforcement insuring the security of our communities and our state. but that is our -- that is our call. when the states ask for us, we come forward. and yesterday, we had 375 -- between yesterday and today we had 375 guardsmen of the 33rd battalion report to chicago to support both illinois state police and chicago city police department by the request of the mayor and the governor to provide that cordon around the city to the downtown area again supporting those peaceful protestors and insuring control of the downtown area. as i stated yesterday, each time the national guard is called forward, these guardsmen step out of their civilian lives. they get a call as they did yesterday at 5:00 in the morning telling them to report. they pack a bag. they tell their families goodbye. and they put their uniform on. and they lace the

how important it is to pass the national defense authorization act. my state of west virginia has some of the highest rates of veteran population, about 10% of our population are veterans and nationally that average is only seven. i think service init the militay is taking care of our military has been a source of very much me as a representative here in congress. i think we can all agree our armed forces would not be what it isme without the great servie of our patriotic men and women and our all volunteer force. that is why it is important we continue to support them as the work they do to protect our freedoms every single day. this important legislation does just that by authorizing vital resources for our nation's troops, wounded warriors and their families. the defense bill also includes programs that will directly impact the west virginia national guard and i have at the chance to regularly meet with servicemen in my state and abroad who i have enjoyed thank them. most recently i traveled to afghanistan where i met a unit from west virginia and t

security agency made me set up on the need basis as an macomo because our national security council you have known what was right and i'm an ashkenazi doing a hunch that means doesn't mean the big winner creatively wades actually we don't know for the tito's so you can't be a little culpable as well you should not you can't give any comforting but as you have not about this and you cannot give any unwarranted accusations. if there are no facts you are making unwarranted accusations will these agencies operate under mainland law or hong kong law or you don't know do you. no no no it's in the basic law they must obey hong kong law what i said there is it is not clear yet what any new national security agency would be responsible for it could simply be responsible for public education publicized here and promotion you know you cannot come to the conclusion that they are they will be enforcing hong kong law that's what they bridge that's what they do when they bring in their national security organs of the central police government is a central people's government that'

the nation and i think this nation stands on the consequence of fairness rather than any other nation on earth and that says that we have the right foundation, now for us to build the greatest society for everyone the earth has ever seen and all of us coming together in realizing it's not about my group or your group, it's about the truth and fairness and we have that conversation, it will b' hard. i was talking to a friend last nightht and some of my white friends, in a situation back in 1955, they could not believe it, they were crying their eyes out on the phone because they had no idea, that is 50 years ago. 65 years ago, were still reeling from the situations because james byrd in 1998 rodney king in 1994, walter scott, without video today, that situation would've never happened in minneapolis, even though it happened it would not have happened, without video walter scott would not have happened, even though it happened it was only the video thatit brought. >> a good answer and i appreciate it, let's turn it to a second to the economy and the subject of her series and obviously w

when you use the national guard, the national guard seems to work to stop the and violence. so i don't know why you want to kick out the national guard before the violence has been quelled. >> greg: we are in a weird situation in that we are being told everything is great and peachy but i just heard this phrase yesterday, or was it today, called measure management. that's how the media treats the public. they keep us in the dark and they keep feeding us. anyway, i don't know what's going on. i have a question. we are seeing the stock market go up and we are seeing corporations and businesses go back to work, it seems like the economy is getting back to strength. is that because america is so strong that it can endure a pandemic as well as like insurrections, or, have the riots in the chaos and the insurrections made everybody in power a bit relieved. and, if the public is at odds with each other, it's not going to be black versus white, and that's the people who hold power. you ride and loot, but the movement goes back at that game. >> greg: that's a great point. if you keep

combat troops poised for action just outside the nation's capital. meyer is the high ground commanding the district of columbia. every night, from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., hundreds of soldiers were on alert up here ready to roll into the city on 30 minutes' notice. president trump ordered them to d.c. just hours before he walked across lafayette park using the chairman of the joint chiefs as a prop. it was mortifying for the american military and unnecessary, since the protests were no longer violent. >> those conditions are not here in washington, d.c. that's why you're going home. >> reporter: when they get there, he said, they need to think about what is happening to the country. david martin, cbs news, fort meyer, virginia. >> o'donnell: across four continents today, tens of thousands took to the streets honoring george floyd and protesting racism. cbs' roxana saberi is in london where huge crowds chanted "black lives matter" for a second straight weekend. >> reporter: defying coronavirus restrictions, thousands rallied in the heart of london toda

he has the latest from the nation's capital. happened it over to aishah that has anywhere some stores are gone to drastic measures to keep the looters away right? >> that's right. i have never seen anything like this. i'm going to guess that new yorkers who live here. who have lived here for decades have never seen anything like this either. take a look what's going on here either. this is the sak's fifth avenue store it. is covered in plywood. and if you look closely it's also surrounded with raiser wir. we have never seen anything like this at these stores. a line of men standing ready to defend the store out front. i was told by one of these men that they're private security. the "new york post" is reporting that sak's has hired this security. the store also apparently has floodlights now. and this comes after the looting we saw at the flagship store of macies'. we did not see that same extent of looting happen last night overall. a much more peaceful night than the last two nights. now, there were some demonstrations. we had

i think when he left the nation of islam in march of 1964. he felt it just a great degree a kind of a liberal tory he felt liberated in fact some point said something about the straight jacket is no longer on him now he can move and become more political because understand that the nation of islam tended to tamp down any kind of political expression to stay clear of that that's what god malcolm in trouble when he said something about kenny's assassination you know about the chickens coming home to roost got him into deep water so in an inept precipitated a number of other moves but he was already as far as i'm concerned he was beginning to step outside of that any way he saw him saw of in a larger picture and making a greater contribution what will be the difference between your new movement and the nation of islam well the basic difference will be probably more flexible and it's not my intention to teach among those who are already most but to take mr mohammed's message out among non muslim so-called or your work then with negro groups that a

the national mall, the lincoln memorial and one of our newest national sites, the memorial to dr. martin luther king who caught our taught -- taught our country about the power of peaceful protests. madam president, these places inspire us. they allow our voices to be heard. but they also give us strength. they give us solace, and they give us the opportunity to heal. the bill before us today helps us to ensure that our public lands remain places where we can remember, where we can reflect and we can recharge. sometimes when i speak on the senate floor, i share anecdotes from my morning runs. a number of them over the years have been on the national mall as i run from the capitol to the lincoln memorial and pass the vietnam memorial etched with the names of 58,000 men and women with whom i served in southeast asia. no matter how tired i might be when i get up in the morning, when i begin those runs and pass and pause at each of those places, i feel rejuvenated and to take up our work in service, the american people who sent us here. interestingly, i heard a similar sentiment from

this is the true story of your nation. while attucks appeared, sometimes as a hero and sometimes as a villain, in many history schoolbooks prior to the civil war, i have not been able to find a single reference to crispus attucks in american history textbooks published between the 1880's and 1950's. so african-americans ramped up their own efforts to promote black history and to critique black omission from school textbooks and curricula, as well as the demeaning images of black s circulating in american popular culture. african-american historical writers in the late 1800s countered this omission with a noble and heroic crispus attucks. unfortunately, one problem with those attempts to tell attucks's story, was that practically nothing was known or can be known about the man. in many cases, writers simply made stuff up about attucks to suit their purposes. while many presentations held close to the slim historical record, between the 1880's and 1930's, some of the stories generated by black writers had grown downright prep

juneteenth rallies are underway across the nation this while the u.s. air force investigates reports that military planes illegally monitored protests during the height of demonstrations following the death of george floyd we're going to tell you about that and you probably heard the saying those you can't and those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it that is the message from russian president vladimir putin in a detailed u.s. article highlighting the lessons from world war 2. and last but not least china is moving ahead with prosecuting 2 canadians on spying charges details in a full reporter straight ahead all right it's time to extend these i knew. we start this hour with breaking news one of the 3 little bill police officers involved in the shooting death of briana taylor will soon be fired the mayor announced that the metro police is initiating the terminations of officer brett hankinson he's accused of blindly firing 10 rounds into taylor's apartment which resulted in her death 26 year old taylor and e.m.t. worker was shot by off

and those highlighted states those are the ones that have already called in the national guard to help control the crowds that have been gathering every night today cleanup efforts are underway after things turned violent sunday night with tensions flaring up between protesters and police and stores being looted in many of those major cities including right here in washington d.c. . from zach is live outside of the white house for us the protesters so fair what's it looking like. a woman all i'm actually standing in the middle of all these protesters about 20 minutes ago protests were just right actually at the friends here where they met face to face with actually police officers they met with u.s. park police they met with d.c. metro police along with the national guard now this is why president trump is calling on state and local leaders to get tougher on protesters unloading on governors just an hour ago calling them weak now as for d.c. a curfew was put in place from washington d.c. for tonight at 7 pm but last night the curfew was actually at 11 pm now i want to know you that we

the next 9% can hold 6% of the nation's wealth. the top 9% or the next 9% have a quarter of the nation's wealth. as a whole the top 10%, 51% of the nation's wealth. and then let's look at the bottom 60%. so the bottom 60% of americans held 5% of the nation's wealth. 5%. and then that other 30% in between that bottom 60%, they held the rest. they were doing pretty well. they held about 45% or 44% of the nation's wealth. so this is an incredibly unequal distribution of wealth. at no other time in our nation's history except for right now, has there been as much inequality. as a welt been distributed so unequally. an activist, i'm sure you have heard of him, he is looking at the situation. he was looking at it as very wrong. this is a kwoequote, he said wee prosperity and depression. cheek by jowl. like this african-american news boy he is selling a penny newspaper, and it is proclaiming taxes on billionaires. this is from 1921. so cheek by jowl african-americans. so too were farmers as you could tell, right, from the wages we just loo

guest: the national league of cities, have what is called a campaign. a simple, that is approach called cities are essential. certainly, the federal government has come out with the cares act, certainly has started dispersing direct funding to a number of cities and states, and even counties. if you are not a city that has a population more, you got nothing. certainly, we have been out of the equation and that l availabe to us. it is unlikely to ever be available. one of the things we are doing, we are pushing that the federal the coronavirus relief funds for all minister polities to be able to address the issues that we are all impacted by because this is not just a big-city issue. this is an every city issue. certainly i applaud those 36 cities because there are only 36 cities in that criteria. doesstates, apparently, not mean anything to our federal leaders. i hate to say that, but that is what it appears to be. they getake sure that an understanding that their hometowns and those people basic support as we elect them, they have really given them a sl

that is one of them, sending in the national guard. he does have the ability to federalize the national guard should he choose to do that. but i would note and i am very glad you brought up new york, the very clear-cut cases of d.c. and new york, d.c. was in chaos on sunday night when you saw the burning of the church. when the mayor did not set the curfew. the president said this is unacceptable. he has always preferred devolving to the states. they have police power, it's their response ability to take care of the streets. when the president saw that on sunday night, he took action immediately. he surged the national guard, encouraged states to accept their national guard. he went on and on with several various actions to give very powerful speech saying if you don't act i will. he noted that the military would be on hand should it be necessary. his bold action, his swift action made d.c. a much different story monday night. and contrasting the images of new york -- excuse me-- d.c. on monday night and new york on monday night where t

the implication of 5gmp from a national security percent perfect tiffer. that is not the only area. there are a number of these technologies which are crucial to economic might that gives enormous national security. and notion of this tech notion rnoling is not the a what to think about it. developing innovation policy to ep sure that the united states has the appropriate funding and sports technology and although it raises questions which we hope we talk about. the second part of the strategy is closely integrated is the economic statecraft and bringing together the various aspects of our economic policies that touches or national security, investment policy and export control policy, the policies that affect how we invest and give access to core technologies need to be integrated and new technology has been implemented. but those processes are much outdated and need to have a view of how we use those technologies. and the third part as you said is the notion of key alleys in innovation policies and investment policies and how we think about export control. this is a game where we a

the russian into a journey to get starch to maintain d.w. . look in detail at how beijing uses its national security laws on the mainland you don't really understand the real situation in hong kong i also feel calm factor the situation in hong kong how one country 2 systems clearly operate hong kong never leaves the news for long these days now it's the draft of a new security law to be imposed by beijing that's provoking controversy and protests joining me this week from hong kong is regina it's a member of the city's legislative council and chair of the probe aging new peoples party will the communist authorities try to use this law as they have with other security statutes on the mainland to violate basic rights and restrict free expression. did you not you're welcome to a conference on. hello you recently wrote an article about the controversial new security law that china's going to impose on hong kong and you said this does not necessarily spell the death of hong kong separate systems but you're taking a huge gamble backing this law aren't you because beijing has done everything it ca

we've got the d.c. national guard out here and i'm just checking to see how well they're doing, that's all. >> remember, this is the chairman of the joint chiefs. he has no authority to run operations, if you will. his only legal job is to be the chief military adviser to the president of the united states. that is what a chairman of the joint chiefs does. president trump repeatedly talking about putting general milley in charge. he can't legally be in charge of any of this. he can advise the president, the president clearly putting him out there along with the defense secretary as a very visual signal to the country, john. >> visual signal, powerful signal. barbara starr, thanks. jeremy diamond, we showed the president's clip at the top where he says he stands with every peaceful protestor. as he was saying that, peaceful protestors were being shoved and pushed and tear gas was being used against them a few feet away from his house. >> reporter: it was an incredibly powerful split screen moment, john, and one t

in new mexico and across the nation. so many of our officers protect and serve with honor and integrity, but we cannot continue to sweep police brutality and racial inequality under the rug, ignoring these painful legacies until the next tragedy. there are thousands of americans of every political stripe across the nation who have come out in peaceful protest demanding change. now we know there are a few, a very small few, who are exploiting our nation's pain and using violence to disrupt. we unequivocally condemn all acts of violence and call for nonviolent but urgent action. by calling for the u.s. military to quell protests as the president and some in this body have done, that crosses a line between civilian and military rule that is an -- antithetical to american traditions. instead of calling for american soldiers to repress their fellow citizens exercising their first amendment rights, i'm calling for actions of this body. today senators booker and harris introduced the justice in policing act, a bill i'm proud to

we were previously previously been known the national protection programs director. that name really didn't tell anyone what are jobless, 23 election security until today. i would have to say in 2016, we were certainly caught up and we had made the inroads with the community that we have over the last four years working with individuals at the national association association of state election directors in the national governors association. over that time we have really focused on defining our mission which, to us is to provide risk-management advice to election stakeholders. we focus on helping election stakeholders to identify and then detect, manage and mitigate risk to their respective systems. and then it is important to recognize we see the election stakeholders, not only election officials that manage voting systems and bota databases and the vendors that support them or the community we call election infrastructure. we also engage of partisan organizations, campaign and the electric as her third line of effort to restructure our work accordingly. in early 201

once the national guard came in, d.c. was secure. the monday decision by the president of encouraging governors to search national guard made the difference and the president has recognized now the protests are peaceful and has recommended a winding down of the national guard, very peaceful protest over the weekend. with regard to security of the building, not a decision for the white house. we would refer you to the secret service and park services. the president has recognized the peaceful protest thing and is encouraged by that. can we say when will the administration revoke hong kong's trade status? and do you think that move would be the only thing the administration does? is there something else planned? do you think that china will listen? are you seeing any signs of china china relenting on hong kong? sec. mcenany: we have not seen any updates from china thus far. no announcements with regard to the timing of that but the president has been clear that china has replaced its promise of one country, two systems with one country,
