A combination of factors is causes sections to crumble. Workers are using traditional methods toix the damage. They need to place new stones in the wall one at a time. So get this. It takes 45 minutes to install just one stone weighing more than 220 pounds. How long did it take in the day when they built that thing . It makes you wonder, right . Wow, thats crazy. As the museum gets ready to shut its doors we are learning about what the buildings new owners have in mind for the next move. Johns Hopkins University is going to take over and recently submitted a plan to convert the building along pennsylvania avnue into a stateoftheart educational facility. Take a look. This is what it could look like. E school isnt proposing a dramatic change to the outside, but we know that the massive llrst amendment tablet wbe removed.

Work is empowering. But brutal on my sk. I use the dove beauty bar. It gets rid of all the dirt. While. Till nourishing my skin it helps me retain my natural beauty. To be both stronghing my skin and beautiful at the same time. Dove cleans and cares beautifully. We all care about amazing tastes thathy weve been making the best mayonnaise for over 100 years. Hellmanns. Were on the side of food. Hey, this week many of us read and saw new accounts of the id conditions insthose Detention Centers on the southern border. Thats right. The renewed fight over immigration awill be front and center this morning on meet the press. Joining us is chuck todd, moderator of meet the press. This is what a lot of people are talking about. We have seen jarring and disturbing images of whats happeng on the border. I guess the question is will Congress Pass anything . Actually, weee havent s the images. We have been reading we are visualizing some of these images. We ha seen a few. A father and child trying to cross. I wonder if things would change if we saw cameras that matched the descptions were reading. And i think th that is the disconnectere and that, look, i do thi youd suddenly see a capitol hiller move fast if we captured on camera what we have beeneading about here a little bit. Obviously, they prevented cameras. Members of congress they confiscate phones. You want to ask, what are you afraid of here . I do think that might be, you know, that might be a critical missing piece of information here. R but youll heat on the show. If this were left up to congress, i think they could come up with something here. But the president clearlys not moved by this. He doesot see this as necessarily a problem. He sees it as leverage. Thats how he is viewing it. He is hoping its a i dont think its proving to be a deterrent. I think he Still Believes its leverage. And so i think remember it was the pictus of syrian children that moved him to act in syria. Perhaps pictures of these ma children move him. He could be saying, look, we are doing what i said we were going to do, which is stop people from coming in the country. Important to rememb l he neveres to, quote, look weak on immigration. I think he thinks anytime he even eouses empathy he looks, quote, soft. And this is something that look, s who he is. Right. Good, bad, and ugly on this. Et who he is on this. He neverants to, quote, look soft, when it comes to immigrants. Switching gears to joe biden now. Defended his record in the senate. We also heard an apology from joe biden. What do you make of this . Well, it was a classic washington apology. He seemed to apologize for anybody that took his comments the wrong way. Look, one of ourpanelists makes this point. The bigger problem for joe biden is not debating segregation. The bigger problem is he served so long that he serv with segregationists. It is a reminder beneath ng everythi else he has been around a longe. His biggest challenge to me is can a man whose political career spanned 25 years of the last century thats what he is saying. To be a man of the 21st century . Look, i think this. I think he had to do what he did. He had to change h name to barack obam s Vice President. Right. But we are going to see it in the next debate. I think there will be a pile on. I think everybody willook at what Kamala Harris accomplished and the rest will think i am going after biden. He will be prepared this time. If he ndles it after being prepared, it might alleviate concern. If he doesnt handle it, we could see a whole new race. And he could fight back next time, too. Thats what i mean. We are going to have more clarity in the next round of debates about the sturdiness of joe bidens candidacy.
