Then, washington journal. Next, a conversation on immigration policy between chicago mayor rahm emanuel and americans for tax reform president Grover Norquist. They sat down yesterday. This is just under one hour. [applause] thank you for being here. I have a privilege to engage in conversation with two people that are extensively to of ostensibly two of the most powerful political leaders. It is slightly an out of body experience. I did not know whether to sit here and have grover and rahm right next to each other. Rahm, former white house chief of staff, three term member of congress, and now mayor of chicago.

Im glad to be on this side of history on race and bigotry from the state house, but let it not satisfy us to stop there. We must take down the Confederate Flag and we must take it down now, but if we stop there, we have cheated ourselves out of an opportunity to start a different conversation about healing in our state. As momentum against the flag spreads, the nations biggest flag maker, valley forge, now says it will stop producing the confederate battle flag. Political leaders in three of the nine states featuring the flag on license plates are taking steps to remove it. And a list of retailers stopping sales of Confederate Flag merchandise is also growing. And this just in within the last hour. Alabama has just removed its Confederate Flag from the state capital grounds. It comes after an order from governor robert
