washington, d.c. and the neighboring chesapeake ounties. as an enslaved woman, emily challenged the legal validity of her enslavement and forced mccormick to contend with her testimony against him. the supplemental act past summer 1862, permitted enslaved women to testify against white men and women for the first time. regarding the actual case, evidence showed mccormick's farm was located along the border dividing the district from maryland, and one day after the emancipation act became law, he instructed the slaves to reside on the maryland side of the property. according to the records of the board of commissioners, he built a small tenement for them on the maryland side, while his main living quarters remained in washington along with the cow pen and other buildings on the homestead. while mccormick generally prohibited enslaved people from traveling to the district side of the property, it was proven that alice was "required to drive cattle from the pasture to the cow pen," which was technically located within the boundaries of the nation's capital. unidentified

emily will constraints us on the line from washington. this -- emily wilkins joins us on the line from washington. you still have to see what republicans are going to propose. a party thats is is big online order, which you have seen a lot from president trump in the last few days, but they have put together a task force. the leader is senator tim scott, the only black republican only serving -- currently serving. require a will law-enforcement agencies report public injury,e, that is something we saw in the democrats' bill, we have seen republicans come out supporting a ban on chokeholds, also a point of agreement with the democrats. >> even as the protests simmer down, president trump continue to feed the flames with this instantiated sweet. -- unsubstantiated tweet. >> this was a video of a man coming toward police, not only does it show him appear being pushed to the ground, but none of the police officers go to help him. the one that seems to attempt to help is turned away. you can see a pool of blood forming under his head. it was a

john's church in front of washington, d.c. yesterday. emily: it was a very powerful visual. they were videos of these protesters in the park getting tear gassed. then we heard reports it was because trump was going to come out, walk across the park, and take a photo op next to a church with the bible, which he did. this has been met with a lot of people who do not believe that was the correct way to handle the situation, including some republicans. he saw the only black republican senator, tim scott, say that was not the right action for trump to take. we have heard condemnation from members of the church and church leaders. the sense was this was not a good move for the president. haidi: in the meantime of course, we continue to look at curfews being imposed in parts of the country, including new york city, which is still at the same time looking at ways that the city can return to economic activity. what did we hear from the new york governor in terms of how the police have performed throughout this crisis? emily: a lot of discussion with the police right now. in d.c. we h

washington. the fact of emily's case revealed the unique geographic position of washington, d.c. and neighboring chesapeake county. as an enslaved wanted, she challenged the legal ash woman, she challenged --, she challenged the legal formality. it permitted and enslaved women to testify against white men and women for the first time. regarding the actual case, evidence showed mccormick's farm was located along the border, dividing the district from maryland, and that one day after that emancipation act became law, instructed the slaves to reside on the maryland side of his property. according to the records, he built the small tenement for them on the maryland side while his main living quarters remained in washington. prohibitedmick enslaved people from traveling to the enslaved side of the property, it was proven alice was required to drive to the pastor, which was technically located within the boundaries of the nation's capital. unidentified witnesses testified they had seen women and children in mccormick's washington home daily and that for approximately seven or eight wee

let's bring in emily in washington with more on the rising geopolitical tensions between the u.s. china. there seems to be a consensus in washington that china is a threat. something we have been hearing more and more from u.s. intelligence agencies, something we are seeing reflected more in washington politics, concern about china's role in a number of areas. everywhere from the south china sea, trading, tariffs, the coronavirus. how thed we don't know virus emanated from wuhan, but it is something the fbi is looking into, something trump has called to look into and many republican senators were -- support him on. we see virus cases continue to build across the u.s.. what is the latest? there is concern that the effort to flatten the curve when it comes to, in houston, it is not working. >> the mayor of houston suggested cracking down on those not following the rules, naming and shaming them. this is happening as texas is one of the states where new infections or hitting record levels. we are seeing that in florida, california, high levels in arizona. some of these places have op

we are joined now for some context on the story and the latest from a day in washington that was heavy and rhetoric. emily wilkins is with us. what exactly was trump clarifying around the u.s.-china ties issue? emily: i think it is important to step back and look at the bigger picture, because i feel like so often we hear about this little back-and-forth between the u.s. and china and the upgrading tensions. this is not the first time trump has suggested stepping away from china. last night, he knew that he might end of trade deal. yet we have seen officials continue meeting with china, continue defending this deal. today you had mike pompeo meeting with chinese officials, saying they are committed to fulfilling their obligations under the trade deal. and u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer said just yesterday that decoupling the two largest economies is not a reasonable option, and he defended the trade deal, saying that china is going to honor their commitments and obligations. shery: we also had drama playing out in washington with john bolton's book talking about president trump and how he is

we can do that with emily, usually in people it -- people in washington are not up this early, but weled that emily is up. we are thrilled she could join us this morning. emily, what a sight to see the president come out from marine one, the tie wrapped around his neck, clearly exhausted, clearly downcast. what is the plan forward for the white house on this monday? >> i definitely think the white house needs to start reevaluating a couple things after this last particular rally. he has campaign stops in wisconsin and arizona coming up, but none of the saw last night. remember, the trump campaign touted that they had more than one million ticket requests. attended, thate wasn't even enough to fill half of the arena. tom: just absolutely fascinating. your work with congress, mr. and the of war about the southern district of new york and such, the heart of the matter is that i guess the attorney,fired the but the mystery this morning, is there any documentation? matter toand does it have formal documentation from the president? >> i think that's definitely a question that is going to be

haidi: emily wilkins joining us from washington.hery: president trump really is not backing down and we are hearing we could see some remarks tonight. has been giving a very aggressive message today in a call with governors and other law enforcement officials. trump is starting to paint himself as the law and order candidate. i think this is him continuing to further that image as we get into an election year. trump ended the call by telling governors to go out and get them. he called several governors weak. about a month ago when armed protesters stormed michigan's state capital over shutdown measures, trump tweeted to the democratic governor to make a deal with them. haidi: as we continue to see curfews and disruptions around the city, around the country, new york is putting in they curfew and doubling down on the number of police officers on the streets? emily: yes, new york's curfew tonight is 11:00 p.m. many other cities have a curfew as well. i'm here in washington, d.c. our curfew will start at 7 p.m. staffers at capitol hill

. >> greg: emily, this is your neck of the woods. ouare all of these leaders in washingtoncallow and naive and silly? >> emily: they are. unresponsive and delusional and ridiculous and worthless. mayor wheeler in portland, he is a joke. remember when he let portland's i.c.e. building be occupied for five weeks, after which the human excrement and beetles were so thick they had to have a hazmat team come in. pretty sure it was the city's residents whose taxes paid for the cleanup and the seattle mayor, the olympia mayor, they are all the same. they are performative allies, songbirds and they are in the same category as the hollywood hills activists where they see these delusional sound bites from the safety of their snowflake homes. but when it really hits the fan, then they walk it back and as always like i keep saying, the biggest losers are the residents and i was actually the difference between these mayors and the hollywood hills activists is the fact that these mayors are having their salaries paid by the citizens that they keep letting down. >> greg: yeah. dana, i am

washington has it exactly backward. to first amendment is there protect social media from the president. thes not there to protect president from social media. emilyou think twitter and facebook have lived up to their responsibilities? they are taking different approaches to the president's speech. >> listen, social media is frustrating, and we all know that because we all look for information there every day. we also see misinformation. but i don't think you want the government or an agency like becoming that online. emily: what is the role of private companies in handling speech? it has potentially major implications, as we can see with protests and riots happening across the country, and the president continuing to post things that are inflaming the country. >> absolutely. they are ad supported platforms and rely on our engagement. a lot of the ugly stuff moves really fast, and we need to have a national dialogue about what that means, but this executive order is not that, and turning my agency into the free speech police does not seem like the answer. emily: do you think twitter should label or remove tweets from iran's leaders? that is what c

washington about this. what is the reaction from lawmakers? roger: emilyas we both know, three months ago, section 230 was the third rail of technology policy. everybody understands it is really good for the entrepreneurial stimulating of innovation. but the largest internet left forms are allowing awful things to happen and allowing their platforms to undermine public health, democracy, and competition. most directis the and rapid way of changing things. what i want to do is very specifically change incentives. i don't want to penalize them, i just wanted to say listen, if you are above a certain scale and using algorithms to amplify speech -- if you are treating some forms of speech better than others simply because it is good -- under those circumstances, you are subject to litigation if someone is harmed. section 230 would apply to anything you do that is not amplified and section 230 would still provide protection if you could make a good argument there was no harm, but you have to give citizens some path to recover damages when they get harmed. it is

williams, former detective, former lawyer for the police here in washington, says he thinks that the prosecution went too far. >> emilyght, two things struck me, first of all the fundamental failure of basic arrest protocol that these officers failed to do which was telling mr. brooks he was under arrest and also their behavior after mr. brooks was shot, kicking him and standing on him and the failure to render timely medical aid. it was really not -- i know it was a surprise for those in the courtroom because you could hear the audible gasps. i want to speak to those charges in that georgia law requires that a grand jury indictment before those charges are actually formalized. given the fact that we already know the second officer had flipped on officer rolfe and is testifying against him, he's also facing the death penalty for this, i would be shocked if this even went to trial. i foresee there being an eventual plea agreement. my final thought is just that the amplification of the tragedy here is so sad. this is another life lost. these are two more police officers who had their lives ruined. one is literally facin

it is getting a burst in washington, so i think it is important that we invest in that going forward. emilyw weeks have passed since you and i discussed the president's executive order on social media. moderating more posts by aesident trump, you have massive boycott now facing facebook. that said, now that the time has passed, i am curious your thoughts on what should happen to section 230 and whether anything will happen to section 230 as part is the fcc is concerned? jessica: i don't have a crystal ball but i think there will be efforts in congress to revisit that law. that -- convinced social media is frustrating but what we need right now is congress stepping in and assessing this law. it is definitely not the federal communications commission's job to protect the president from information online. emily: some people say that companies like facebook are so vast that they are more like public utilities and when a post like that comes from president trump, there are critics who areeve that actions necessary. jessica: that is absolutely a to haveon, and we need it. but an executive order
