we see william barber in north carolina. we see the actions taken by the missouri state naacp on the travel advisory. i think this is a return for the naacp back to its roots where what was going on in the ground was most important and not what was going on at headquarters in baltimore. i think that is the move where they are trying to go. only time will tell whether it is effective or not. eugene: i feel that is a microcosm that is happening nationally. in the democratic and republican party, there are so many people trying to go more grassroots and figure out what the people are doing as opposed to people at headquarters. susan: we have gotten him in his very first week in office. it will be very interesting to see how he shapes the organization in the months ahead. thanks to both of you for your questions. eugene: thank you for having me. jesse: thank you. >> >> still to come, and announced by jennifer stood -- senator jeff flake. plus, the house on the budget resolution. after that, remarks from president trump on the na
