Floyds autopsy and ruled his death a homicide. Tell me about his testimony. Reporter today was arguably about the most important part of this trial, the cause of George Floyds death. This was a highly anticipated day because we heard from dr. Andrew baker, the chief Medical Examiner in Hennepin County and the one who conducted George Floyds autopsy.

He went back and forth over what it means to be a factor in someones death and what it means to be the Cause Of Death, specifically when it came to a pillar of the defenses argument that floyd died from medical history.

His Heart Disease did not cause the subdual or the neck restraint. So in your opinion, both the Heart Disease as well as the history of hypertension and the d drugs that were in his system played a role in mr. Floyds death

This isnt like the times that President Biden has tried to address covid19 or immigration where lawmakers on both sides of the aisle understand what the problem is because right now the Biden White House and republicans in congress have totally different ideas about the definition of infrastructure. Everybody around the world was billion and billions of dollars in infrastructure. We are going to do it here. Without republican support and the proposals current form. What the president proposed this week is not an infrastructure bill. It is a huge tax increase for one thing and its a tax increase on small businesses, on job creators in the United States of america. The white house claims they are all ears. We hope members will be proposing ideas. Republican senator roy blunt has got one. I think there is
