The back end of this as we head into the next few hours or so. The high clouds will start to thicken as we head into that afternoon so are talking about a pretty muddy and warmer afternoon with temperatures manley and the 80s. Foggy conditions are early tomorrow morning am looking at a comfortable weather into the weekend. All talk about more coming up and about 50 minutes. george good traffic is backed up solidly into the macarthur maze even they 80 approach here is normally the easy way to the bay bridge is also backed up beyond the east from lanes of the toll plaza.

I am awfully happy to welcome the of plot back thank you. All of you to this gathering and this event. Stephen ambrose once said that hed been struck by how many Army Veterans of the campaign in europe, 19441945, had become teachers. He made the obvious link, which partly needs explication before audience like this but consider the chronology. If you were a 20 year old rifleman in the forest, you were born in 1924. You are now 90, and if you have become a professor or teacher, you probably have left the active practice of your profession around 1975 or 1980, give or take a few years. Your education was underwritten by the g. I. Bill, and yours was a generation hospitable, at the very least, to the study of war and of military history.

Minneapolis and obviously the 2020 election as well. Pete jedediah, dont worry the future of Community Safety working group that minneapolis citcity council will deliver recommendations. A month from now recommendations delivered. A year deliberation with the community to determine the solutions they have that are somehow better than the Minneapolis Police department. So are all over it. They passed it unanimously. Dont worry the mayor, jacob frey, no word from him yet on what he will do on this. Griff listen, whats happening in minneapolis is clearly trying to get the voters to make their own decisions in november about what sort of entity is replacing the police force and it looks like its going to be social services based. But as minneapolis has led this National Overarching call for Police Reform, it will be interesting to see if they lose their way meanwhile you saw the Deputy Assistant to the president ron smith talking about the president s executive order coming to try and buil
Woor wa were waiting to hear the outcome of two cases that could have a profound effect on the impeachment inquiry of President Trump. A federal judge are is supposed to rule on absolute immunity. Don mcgahn was called to testify back in the spring but refused to appear on orders by the white house leaving House Committee members staring at an empty chair. And the other case, justices are weighing whether to side with the president other than his taxes. President trump is appealing a Lower Court Ruling that the house has a right to see financial records prepared for the president by an accounting firm. Of course well bring you more on the decisions as soon as they are handed down. And possible new evidence of a coverup involving Mick Mulvaney and the president s decision to withhold nearly 400 million in aid from ukraine. The Washington Post the reports that mulvaney was actively talking with office of budget and the management officials about finding any legal justifications for the p
