Settled Over Washington as the city braces for whatever may happen tomorrow. A Homeland Security Memo warns of at least the potential for violence. We also have to say its totally unclear how many will show up. There are various predictions of fewer than A Thousand people, well see, but Today Capitol Hill police said theyre taking no chances. There have been threats of violence in association with the events for tomorrow, and we have a strong plan in place to ensure that it remains peaceful and that if violence does occur that we can stop it as quickly as possible.

Oneyear anniversary of george floyd s death. I m here tonight as an american, as a father, a black man, a tv host, and a president of national action network to commemorate george floyd s life with his family and his community and tonight joining me will be in a few moments he ll be his sister bridget on the first year without her brother.

On september 5th that year, 1901, the sitting president of the united states, william mckinley visited the world s fair in buffalo. He gave an open air speech in front of 50,000 people. It was as presidential speeches go a pretty big success. It was very well received by that big, big, big crowd. But it was the world s fair, which was a huge deal. The president didn t just go for that one day.
