System. That is what so many people in big cities and small towns in oregon and every state across america are demanding of us. But instead of allowing that kind of bipartisan discussion, leader mcconnell is plowing ahead with the partisan business as usual on a bill that falls very short of what the senate ought to accomplish. I see my friend, senator scott, the distinguished senator from south carolina, on the floor. I want to make it clear that i have Great Respect for senator scott. He is an important member of the Senate Finance committee, on which both of us serve. I appreciate every opportunity to work with him, and in fact i think a fair number of people around the country note the work weve just done in the last few weeks. On nonprofit organizations. So we will be working together, i know, in the days ahead. Unfortunately, the majority leader is giving short shrift to this debate on ending systemic racism by putting forward an inadequate bill and essentially daring the other s

And we have some people that will do introducing to the panels. We will get to that later. So thank you for coming. We are here for a reason. Without the death of mr. Floyd we would not be here. A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks. My goal is trying to define the problem, offer solutions, and talk to each other, not past each other. And i have a short video that is tough to watch. I talked to senator booker about it, the first couple of minutes, but it ends up on a very positive note. We will see if it will go from really hard to watch to something thats a little more acceptable for the country. If you could roll the video. Is
Minutes to add to it. Senator feinstein, senator booker, senator harris, if you would like to make Opening Statements. Is that ok . We have some people who will do some introducing to the panel. I have a short video that is tough to watch and i talked to senator booker about it the first couple minutes, but it ends up on a very positive note and we will see if we can go from really hard to watch to something that is a little bit more acceptable to the country. If you could roll the video. Is it working . Can we consider it an act of god and not air it . Could be. Well . What do we expect to see . You are expecting to see a video, but you are not. So i will just talk. E his very painful death, its about the gentleman who was jogging in georgia and got shot. And it was about the recent atlanta case.
