exactly. they re waiting for the play. top resources from the hill, they re both split on whether things can change. the vice president yesterday as he was embarking off to europe did make a statement, a head nod to the politics of gun ownership. what was said by kelly o donnell at the white house is we re seeing a change in the cycle, the timing in the cycle where we ll discuss the politics of gun ownership very early after an attack. we re well past the thoughts and prayers. as has been said. we go right into the politics after one of these shootings. the politics have changed, richard. it used to be that democrats were always on the defensive. they were worried the nra was going to destroy them in their districts. now the nra is basically bankrupt. they re losing members. michael bloomberg and others involved in gun safety efforts
for the african-american community but also tie himself to obama a little bit more. talk about the struggles of president obama trying to govern while all of these attacks were coming at him. particularly some of the racist attacks. talk about how he was a partner in that. i think in doing so he would endear himself more to communities of color, to the african-american community, and be able to blunt some of these attacks by his opponents. in small doses. when we look at the polling that came out and black voters and what they re thinking about, i think you were giving me a head nod there, over to you, susan, joe biden at 31% in terms of black voters and who they prefer. kamala harris, though, margin of error, right in there. and that is, susan, potentially the importance that black voters, that shaq was asking about and how important they are and that one person that he was talking to, the essence festival, saying it s important that you do address us. joe biden thinking of that whe
think what you re kind of giving a head nod to is there s a lot of nothing you re look at for a greatlo expanse. 150 miles wide you were saying, some two miles deep. reporter: so the dmz, the demilitarized zone, is this band of territory set up after the korean war to prevent a resumption of hostilities. 2 1/2 miles wide, 160 excuse me. 160 miles across. and 2 1/2 miles deep. and it is an area that are multiple structures,th multiple guard towers.s, there are an estimated 1 million landmines still in the area. lots and lots of barbed wire. on one side, the side where i am right tnow, you have 30,000 roughly american troops and the south korean army. on the other side you have the north u korean army. and then critically artillery pieces. thousands if not tens of thousands of north thkorean
