To the mystery machine that you might remember from the cartoon scoobydoo. But theyre saying its no mystery that Wearing Masks save lots. Maureen kelly kron 4 news. National news now and the battle over the next Coronavirus Relief package continued on capitol hill today, democrats are pushing for their multi trillion dollar plan known as the heroes act which they say is the only solution. This week President Trump tweeted that the gop should increase the amount it is willing to spend but republican lawmakers say they are not interested in more spending and they add that sending billions of dollars in federal money to blue states like california is off the table. Today is Constitution Day its meant to recognize the adoption of the u. S. Constitution and those who have become us citizens. President trump is marking the Public Holiday by pushing to revise americas history books, the president is launching a new commission promoting what he calls a quote patriotic education. It comes as some schools use the New York Times is 1619 project to re examine americas legacy of slavery. The president has previously threatened to take away funding from california schools already using that project in their curriculum calling it propaganda by the left. Left is attempting to destroy that beautiful vision and divide americans by race to teach our children. That we were founded on the principle of oppression. Freedom. Some people argue that history teachers should not ignore or minimize our past problems regardless the president says he plans to sign an executive order establishing his new 1776 commission soon. This battle over the revision of history books has voters on both the right and the left pretty worked up all worked out Catherine Heenan host of inside bay area politics is here now with some reaction hi catherine yeah, these moves grant and vicki by the president to promote what he calls patriotic education. Really is triggering a lot of reaction. Again apparently this is his answer to the 1619 project. An effort to reexamine American History through more race critical lens. The president claiming it will dissolve pacific bonds of america. I asked our political analysts for their thoughts on trumps 1776 commission. I believe the president is right to seek Public Education that doesnt tear down america like the 1619 project in this divided era where half the country has one view and half has another. There are many people in this country who believe the very liberal bent. A Public Education is not good for america. And thats why projects like the president is proposing make sense to so many americans. This commission is just another dog whistle to his base patriotism as a code word for confederate history, and we know this because of his announcement trump insulted the 1619 project. Which provides education materials for schools and to this day marginalize or misrepresent the role of slavery in our history. Ironically the commission retreat to its mission. Students were learning the Critical Role that civil disobedience standing up to these with authority free speech in rallies played in our revolution. And how our constitution protects these rights today for groups like black lives matter and thats not a leftwing agenda. Its an american agenda. And a white house News Conference earlier this month, the president blamed recent violent protests on left wing indoctrination in schools. Meantime, not clear yet how his commission will function. Grant and vicki. Thank you catherine now to a stunning claim from the military whistleblower tonight, federal officials reportedly were interested in obtaining. Whats known as a heat ray to disrupt a peaceful protest in washington dc earlier this year in a letter to a House Committee major adam demarco said the Defense Department asked the National Guard if they owned either a heat ray or a longrange acoustic device used to transmit loud noises. The National Guard owns neither you may recall federal agents were criticized for using rubber bullets and smoke canisters to scatter the crowd of protesters at Lafayette Square in d c that was back in june. They were gathered to raise awareness about Police Brutality and Racial Injustice after the death of george floyd once they were dispersed President Trump walked to this local church here for a photo op where he held up a bible. And now for the latest on tropical depression sally after it made landfall as a hurricane ravaging the gulf this is new drone video from orange beach, alabama, where the hardest hit areas. The damage is incredibly widespread these boats you see here are actually well they belong much further up at the all of them damaged by the powerful winds.

We still have a lot of work to do as we move into recovery. Mode but. We are very resilient is oregonians and i know we will recover from this and get through it together.
