Capitol there in Columbia South carolina. Cheers this morning erupting as that flag came down for the very last time. [cheers and applause ] i have nick valencia in columbia but first to the breaking news regarding dylann roof he never should have gotten the gun in the first place . Reporter absolutely. That remarkable admission coming from the fbi director james comey. The fbi made a mistake when they conducted his background check when he purchased a gun back in april in South Carolina.

Had the fbi known that he would have never been able to buy that gun because he would have never passed the background check. So there are a series o
Commemorate as history with a plaque were the unmemorable speeches of two powerful men. And that block, i think, explains why this museum is so necessary. Because that same object put in context, tells us so much more. As americans, we rightfully pass on the tales of the giants who built this country. Who led armies into battle, who waged seminal debates in the halls of congress and the corridors of power. But too often we ignored, or forgot, the stories of millions upon millions of others. Who built this nation just as surely, whose humble eloquence, whose calloused hands, whose steady drive helped to create business, erect industries, build the arsenals of democracy. And so this National Museum helps to tell a richer and fuller story of who we are. It helps us better understand the lives, yes, of the president , but also the slave. The industrialists, but also the porter. The kee the status quo, but also the activist seeking to overthrow that status quo. The teacher, or the cook, alo

5 00 on the east coast and we begin with the escalating challenges to president Trumps National Emergency Declaration. Protesters took to the streets coast to coast monday rallying against the plan to use billions from federal programs mostly from the department of defense to build his border wall. Last night 16 states filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Emergency Declaration. Led by California Attorney general Xavier Becerra the states argue the president is using the pretext of a manufactured crisis. Its pretty clear that the president is trying to usurp congresss authority. The president does not have the power of the purse.
