Yesterday afternoon, relatives of those victims confronted the shooter to tell him that they forgive him. Much more on that in just a moment. Were also on the show going to be tackling the controversy of whether South Carolina should still be flying the Confederate Flag. Americans more divided on that question than you might think. Plus turning away from the tragedy for a bit, its also been a vang week in the world of politics, one that has the potential to have Lasting Impact on the race for president. Well be getting into that later in the show. But, we begin this morning in South Carolina. That is where thousands of people gathered at an arena in charleston last night to remember those nine victims shot and killed inside of a church on wednesday night. We all have one thing in common common, our hearts are broken. That service capping an emotional day in charleston a day in which the gunman in that shooting dylann roof appeared in court via satellite for the first time. Roof appeari
Exposed to a foreign language. I was dying to crack the code. Did someone hold . What is offsides . But the real addiction started in high school. You see, i was on the Cheerleading Squad and our team was great, as in our star running back, walter henderson, went top to play for the Green Bay Packers and win a super bowl. Great. And when youre in a town like mine that loved football and your team is fantastic, its hard not to just go and give yourself totally to it and love everything about the game. And i do i love it all. The satisfying crunch of a brutal tackle stopping an opponent in his tracks. The thrill of an unexpected interception shifting the energy of a contest. The beauty of a perfect touchdown rush and the sheer abandon of these gladiators as they celebrate their victory in dance. I am addicted to football. And i know its an addiction, because i just cant quit it even though i know its bad for me. Even though i am fully aware that indulging in all of footballs highest high
Of fair housing. Protecting hardearned victories in fair housing is what took him and others to d. C. On wednesday morning. To d. C. And to the steps of Supreme Court. On wednesday the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case Texas Department of housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities project. I know, its not exactly a snappy title, but this case is really really important, so stick with me. When the court rules on this case the one that got those activists out in the cold with their handlettered signs, when the court makes this decision, it could be among the most historic and consequential choices ever made about the issue at the heart of american lives and dreams. The place we call home. Because at the core of this case is the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Now, see the Fair Housing Act was the final piece of civil rights legislation resulting from that partnership of president Lyndon Johnson. Johnson signed it just seven days after the assassination of dr. King.
Blizzard of 2015. We have late arest on when and where. We so much to get to. And i want to begin with the spike of online and against airlines. We have renee marsh for us live at laguardia airport. There have been 50 online threats since january 17th, and what are the airlines doing to find who is responsibility . Don, the fbi is working to search ip addresses to find the culprits responsible for this this, and as far as what is behind the uptick, i spoke to several officials today, and one o official telling me that these are copycat incident ss, and sparked by the incidents that is fueling it. But this is important to note that sit that it is a federal crime and even if the intent is not to bring down a jetliner and if somebody thought it was a funny prank, it is not. The federal aweuthorities are taking it seriously, and the punishment could be up to ten years behind bar, and oftentime s a plea deal so you could face hefty fine, and we are talking about hundreds of thousands of dol
Out there on the campaign trail. This weekend is a big weekend. We will be having some reports. So finally, finally, donald trump has gone too far, and a republican has stepped forward to object. And that brave republican who has stepped forward alone, among republicans, is the very last person you would ever have guessed would turn against donald trump, would go rogue. Hint against donald trump. But its not about taiwan. Not a single republican objects to what donald trump has done with taiwan, and every single republican would be objecting today if a democratic president elect had done what donald trump did today. Trump broke with 3yea7 years policy. One of the most radical shifts in foreign policy. Likely to infuriate the chinese. Hes not taking as we can tell most of his intelligence briefings. Since our victory, ive spoken to many foreign leaders. A conversation with the filipino president. He should be fully briefed by the state department. He cannot conduct himself in this immat
