Hello its 1 in the morning here in moscow im calling for a welcome to this i was world news from the international 1st protestors close to the white house attempted to shout down donald trump during his speech on the final night of the Republican Party convention with horns and chanting loudly hundreds tried to disrupt the event and number one carry in class lives not so bad as that didnt stop the president from claiming hes done more for black people than almost all of his predecessors. I say very modestly that i have done more for the Africanamerican Community than any president since Abraham Lincoln our 1st republican president. And i have done more in 3 years for the black community then joe biden has done in 47 years. When im reelected the best is yet to come. From speech came this furious black lives matter protesters once again turned out in kind im sure in the wake of Sundays Police shooting of a black man be aware we are about to show you the disturbing video of that incident
The viewers. There theme is unity, and when im watching tonight, what im most going to be wer looking fo, can they bring the Democratic Party together, which is what they are hoping to do with the speeches tonight. They have everybody from pay new york governor, something of a moderate, andrew cuomo, doug jones from alabama come all the way to burning centers Bernie Sanders, and john kasich. I want to see if theres any sort of interparty squabbling, as the case may be, given how big of a tent the Democratic Party is today and how joe biden and Kamala Harris are trying to bring everybody together. I think its going to be a big task. The big question is for what . Are they against President Trump or are they for something . I think thats exactly right. One thing that they do agree on from all sides of the party is that they want to get rid of donald trump, remove have power office. But i think your question is on point. Can they agree to what comes next, should biden win. I was struck by
And hospitalizations. We have 300 across the state. That is why we decided to have a measured reopening. We are going to be datadriven in oklahoma. We are watching it. I have put up 80 mobile test sites across the state. We ranked 25th in the nation in number of testing. It is time for a measured reopening. I told oklahomans we will be data driven and continued to watch the trends but if the percentage of tests start increasing or hospitalizations increase, we will kick back one of those phases and we can reserve the rights to back up if we need to. We believe it is the time to have a measured reopening. I have a great relationship with the mayors across the state and these are tough decisions and i know they are concerned about their substance as well. I am putting guidance for the whole state. As you know, i have never been heavyhanded with the mayors in different locations. I have let them make decisions based on their communities. I am thinking about all 4 million oklahomans and gi

That nothing was going to be lost and everything was going to be protected. Here we have the issue being raised again but from another perspective. I believe that enacting this bill, protecting floridas shore from the dangers of offshore drilling, will save jobs in coastal tourism, Recreation Industries and many others that are held by the people of florida, including women and people of color. The Diverse Coalition of businesses and industries permitted to protecting floridas gulf coast and offered strong support for the underlying legislation. The real threat to jobs in florida will be failing to extend the existing moratorium. Elected first including the entire florida congressional delegation, the Florida Governor oppose drilling in the eastern gulf and support h. R. 205. This amendment does not do anything to protect people of color and diversity keeps the for these reasons i urge opposition to the amendment and i resevere. The chair the gentleman reserves the balance of his time.
