In terms of the debate about to ensue on the department of Homeland Security. What are you looking for . Well, its very clear that democrats are totally against what republicans have proposed this past week. They are offering these amendments to the Homeland Security funding bill that would defund president obamas executive orders on immigration and roll back daca, for the children who came to this country illegally. Obviously, democrats oppose these issues. The question is it probably wouldnt make it past in the senate, so will the house and Senate Republicans go to conference and try and come up with some sort of an agreement that kind of embraces some of their issues . But it seems pretty clear that they wont be able to defund the executive orders because of the hurdles in the senate. And i just think its clear to everyone that the end game of republicans on this still has not emerged. You know, this isnt going to make it through the senate, so what next . And that just seems to be
Thank you very much or talking us through what is happening online and on social media. As you have been speaking, i am told that we have been in touch with the interior ministry to hear a bit about what they say about the number of people who have turned appear in paris and elsewhere around france this sunday. They tell us at this hour that they simply dont have any estimates at this point how many people might have actually turned out, they are overwhelmed when it comes to the counting. That really tells you the story of this sunday, as we look at these pictures. All over paris, people coming out in full force after what has been a per a pretty horrific week in the french capital. Hundreds of thousands of people taking part in this unity march. We cannot tell how many roots of thousands of people due to the fact that it is so difficult and there are so many people out there walking this sunday. Boulevards, streets, completely crammed with people. Let me just tell you, sue can underst

This sunday on q a author dick lair talks about the film the birth of a nation. Part two of the movie which is after the war reconstruction is really the heart of the protest in the sense that this is where the blacks are just appalled by the portrayal of freed slaves. And this is a scene showing what happens when you give former slaves the right to vote, the right to be elected the right to govern. Its a scene in the South Carolina legislature where the first and primary order of business is to pass a bill allowing for interracial marriage because again in his hands black men are soley interested in pursuing and having white women.

Economy moving forward. The American People were loud and clear and give americas new congress to get our country back on track. We heard this call and we are ready to get off to a quick start. By weeks end we will grow the economy and create jobs. The hire more heroes act, the save america cans act and approval of the Keystone Pipeline. The president has not acknowledged the call of the people and threatened to veto the approval of the Keystone Pipeline. Americans cant afford another two years deterred by politics and cant afford threats and posturing instead of legitimate legislating. The American People deserve a congress and president focused on them, not the next election. I dont know what direction president obama will choose for the last two years of his presidency but i can guarantee you that your priorities will be our priorities for americas new congress. Prior to coming to congress, i served as a Energy Regulator and i carried the portfolio and when we sighted the original K
1915 film of the same name. Isnt that a great start . Why the birth of a nation and what is it . Is considered the first blockbuster film. The story i want to tell is not only the making and release of the film in 1915 but the controversy that it provoked. It is mainly a story about a civil rights leader from a boston by the name of William Monroe trotter, a radical newspaper editor as well who was at the forefront of extensive protest action against this bill about civil war and reconstruction which is entirely races in his per trail of black america. If it were to come out today what would happen .
