Good morning. My name is kevin gaines and its a pleasure to welcome you to the Miller Center for a conversation about the postpresidency of barack obama. In his farewell address, president obama spoke of threats to american democracy and called for an actively engaged and vigilant citizenry to preserve democracy. It falls to each of us, he said, to be those anxious, jealous, guardian of democracy, contemplating his future as a private citizen after the honor of serving his fellow americans. Obama pledged, as he put it, that he will be right, right there with you. As a citizen, for all my remaining days, he urged Young Americans to believe in themselves and their ability to effect change. We know what happened next. The Trump Administration sought to undo the policies of his predecessor, and at every turn, trump sought to undermine the democratic norms that obama had extolled and defended. Adhering to political custom. Obama remained largely silent for most of the one term Trump Adminis

Started shooting, to Church Members fired shots back at him. Law enforcement say those Church Members stop more people from getting hurt or killed. I would like to. Out that we have a couple of heroic parishioners who stopped of just anything you can imagine, to save countless lives. Today evil walked boldly among us. Let me remind you. Good people raised up and stopped it before it got worse. The third person that was shot during this incident is fighting for his life at this hour. This victim also suffered cardiac arrest and he is now in the hospital in critical condition. The shooting happened this morning at west Freeway Church of christ during church service. A major investigative effort is underway right now involving multiple agencies including the atf, the fbi, and there is no word at this time on motive. And sadly as of today theres been at least 13 shootings in places of worship in the u. S. Since i got an open fire at a charleston south Toronto Church back in june of 2015. U
