2020. On the asphalt, i figured thats going to be a public space open for discussion and i wanted to get my message out to. Reporter maga is of course short for make America Great again. Faced with the possibility of a political or, god forbid, legal fight, the city decided that dans sign was a traffic hazard and could cause accidents and they removed it in the middle of the night. He says he doesnt consider black lives matter to be a political statement but he understands the position the city was in. I have no hard feelings to the city council. I am disappointed. But at the same time, i am very grateful that they allowed me to put that message on broadway. Reporter today, with the streets of redwood city cleansed of dangerous thoughts, was also disappointed. Theyre afraid, you know, and thats the whole movement is weve been afraid to do whats right and thats the whole crux of the movement is be bold and lets do the right thing. And here theyve set an example. Its unfortunate. Its unf
See this protest is on the move. We are in downtown martinez, and we have 700 people, perhaps more than 1000 gathered in the downtown streets. This is the black lives matter rally. You can see from topper five it is a significant crowd marching to this town of 30,000 people. Why are they here . Many of the protesters said they were compelled to come to martinez after a video went viral. It shows a white couple painting over a black lives matter street sign. The couple has since been charged with three misdemeanors, including a hate crime charge. This is not happening in my town. She was going on about kerrtown. This is our town. There are minorities in it and the town needs to start taking some sort of stance one way or the other to make it very clear where its values lie. Orr t w,what is going on is they have gathered at the courthouse. They are moving down to the waterfront of martinez. This is a peaceful protest, as it has been all along. As a matter of fact, demonstrators have been
In a video a white couple for martinez deface a black lives matter mural outside the courthouse. They charge them with vandalism. Organizers say they have been getting threats. Weve been getting threats regularly that people are going to come to town. This march. Marchers have their own security teams. Police called an outside Law Enforcement agencies for support. They said well several officers will be on hand there would not be visible to demonstrators unless needed. So far relearned of only a minor shouting competition between demonstrators and just one man. There have been no reports of violence. Vegetation fire at a homeless and cameron earned about 15 acres this afternoon and sent a large plume of smoke over the city. The flames spread quickly on the hillside but this didnt take long for crews to get the fire under control. Investigators are still trying to figure out what started the fire. That fire broke out in triple digits each. This is one of the many areas with hot and dry
Organizations that are against black lives matter. I will be down here as a scare tactic. We are not afraid. We refuse to be afraid. We are going to come down and march. We are going to make sure our voices are heard. Reporter folks are in fact, quite excited to be here. This has been, as i mentioned peaceful, but also in the air was a warning from the police chief from yesterday, as he was told that on social media there would be people coming here that might try to defend the police. As far as we could tell, that did not develop. We have not seen any counterdemonstrators in this crowd. Right now, the biggest danger is the heat. It is in the high 90s in martinez as this peaceful demonstration continues. In martinez, thank you. To San Francisco where one person is dead and another injured in a house fire that happened after 11 00 on sacramento street. Authorities say the victim was injured in the fire and is expected to be okay. No word tonight on the cause. The other big story we are

Please, without further ado, join me in welcoming him this evening. Thank you so much. Really generous and sweet introduction. Thank you so much. That was really lovely. Thank you, amanda. Really generous and sweet introduction. I think everybody for being i especially amanda told me that the smithsonian associate people have reminded me how engaged these audiences are. So i feel like i have to be up on my toes and really give you my a game to take that seriously. And to be a little intellectual, be a little heavy. Theres a lot of material in the book. Everything from teaching my daughter to drive to a freudian analysis. And a little bit of this theory of how one understands that. The reason i am doing that is to put us in the present moment where, as some of you may have heard, Driverless Cars are on the horizon. But at the end of th
