MARCUS MOORE, THANKS SO MUCH.
NOW TO THE 2020 CAM PIN 
FIRESTORM, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FIERCELY DENYING A DAMNING 
REPORT CLAIMING HE MADE 
INSULTING COMMENTS ABOUT FALLEN 
AMERICAN TROOPS AND THOSE WHO 
VOLUNTEER TO SERVE.
THE ATLANTIC SAYING THE 
PRESIDENT REFERRED TO THEM AS 
SUCKERS AND LOSERS.
A FURIOUS JOE BIDEN SAYING IF 
THE COMMENTS ARE TRUE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP ISN'T FIT TO BE COMMANDER 
IN CHIEF.
BUT THE WHITE HOUSE IS PUSHING 
BACK.
HERE'S ABC'S CHIEF WHITE HOUSE 
CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL. 
>> JOE BIDEN CAME OUT TODAY WITH
HIS ANGRIEST DENUNCIATION OF 
DONALD TRUMP YET, POINTING TO AN
ARTICLE IN THE ATLANTIC ALLEGING
THE PRESIDENT REFERRED TO 
AMERICAN WAR DEAD AS SUCKERS AND
LOSERS. 
>> IF THE ARTICLE IS TRUE, AND 
IT APPEARS TO BE BASED ON THE 
THINGS HE SAID, IT IS ABSOLUTELY
DAMNING.
IT IS A DISGRACE.
IT IS SO UN-AMERICAN.
IT IS SO UNPATRIOTIC. 
>> Reporter: THE ARTICLE, BASED 
ENTIRELY ON ANONYMOUS SOURCES, 
PORTRAYS THE PRESIDENT AS 
SOMEONE WITH CONTEMPT FOR 
MILITARY SERVICE.
IT DESCRIBES A NOVEMBER 2018 
TRIP TO FRANCE.
THE PRESIDENT WAS SUPPOSED TO 
VISIT A WORLD WAR I CEMETERY 
WHERE AMERICAN TROOPS ARE BURIED
BUT THE WHITE HOUSE CANCELLED 
THE VISIT SAYING BAD WEATHER 
MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE 
PRESIDENT'S HELICOPTER TO FLY.
THE ATLANTIC ARTICLE ALLEGES 
TRUMP SAID WHY SHOULD I GO TO 
THAT CEMETERY?
IT'S FILLED WITH LOSERS.
THE PRESIDENT HEARD ABOUT THE 
STORY WHILE ON AIR FORCE ONE 
LAST NIGHT.
AS SOON AS HE LANDED HE SUMMONED
REPORTERS TO THE DARK TARMAC AND
ANGRILY DENIED IT ALL. 
>> I WOULD BE WILLING TO SWEAR 
ON ANYTHING THAT I NEVER SAID 
THAT ABOUT OUR FALLEN HEROES. 
>> Reporter: MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO
WERE WITH THE PRESIDENT ON THE 
FRANCE TRIP, INCLUDING TRUMP 
CRITIC JOHN BOLTON SAID TODAY, 
ON THE RECORD, THAT THEY NEVER 
HEARD THE PRESIDENT CALL DEAD 
AMERICAN TROOPS SUCKERS OR 
LOSERS.
JOE BIDEN SAID HE FINDS THE 
STORY BELIEVABLE BECAUSE OF THE 
PRESIDENT'S PAST COMMENTS, 
INCLUDING WHAT HE SAID IN 2015 
ABOUT JOHN McCAIN. 
>> HE'S NOT A WAR HERO. 
>> HE'S A WAR HERO.
FIVE AND A HALF YEARS. 
>> HE'S A WAR HERO BECAUSE HE 
WAS CAPTURED.
I LIKE PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T 
CAPTURED, OKAY, I HATE TO TELL 
YOU. 
>> Reporter: THE ALLEGATIONS IN 
THE ARTICLE SHOW PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS NOT FIT TO BE COMMANDER IN 
CHIEF. 
>> HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU HAD
A KID IN AFGHANISTAN RIGHT NOW?
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
IF YOU LOST A SON, DAUGHTER, 
HUSBAND, WIFE. 
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT 
FIRMLY DENIED THE STORY AGAIN 
TODAY, SAYING THOSE WHO SERVE IN
THE MILITARY ARE HEROES. 
>> IT'S A FAKE STORY.
WRITTEN BY A MAGAZINE THAT WAS 
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE AROUND 
MUCH LONGER BUT IT WAS A TOTALLY
FAKE STORY.
>> Reporter: AND JOHN KARL JOINS
ME NOW FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
AS YOU MENTIONED, JOHN, THE 
CLAIMS IN THIS ARTICLE ALL CAME 
ANONYMOUSLY.
BUT WE'RE HEARING FROM SEVERAL 
CURRENT AND FORMER TRUMP 
OFFICIALS ON THE RECORD DENYING 
THESE ALLEGATIONS AS WELL. 
>> YEAH, IT'S A LONG LIST, KYRA,
THE WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN VERY 
AGGRESSIVE ABOUT PUTTING 
TOGETHER ALL THE PEOPLE THAT 
WERE ON THAT TRIP, ANYBODY WHO 
WOULD HAVE HAD INFORMATION WOULD
HAVE SEEN THE PRESIDENT ON THE 
TRIP.
THEY'VE COME UP WITH NOW 11 
DIFFERENT OFFICIALS, FORMER 
OFFICIALS, MANY OF THEM SAYING 
THAT THEY NEVER HEARD THE 
PRESIDENT SAY ANYTHING LIKE 
THAT.
I THINK WHAT'S MOST SIGNIFICANT 
IS THAT ONE OF THOSE INCLUDES 
JOHN BOLTON WHO OBVIOUSLY IS NO 
SUPPORTER OF THE PRESIDENT AT 
THIS POINT AND IS VERY WILLING 
TO SAY, VERY DISPARAGING THINGS 
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.
HE SAYS HE WAS THERE WHEN THE 
DECISION WAS MADE, NOT TO VISIT 
THAT CEMETERY, AND THAT HE NEVER
HEARD THE PRESIDENT SAY WHAT THE
ATLANTIC ARTICLE SAYS HE SAID.
>> AND WE ALL WATCHED THE 
BRIEFING TODAY, THE PRESIDENT 
AGAIN DENYING THIS STORY AT THE 
PRESS CONFERENCE.
YOU ALSO ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS 
PAST REMARKS WHERE HE DISPARAGED
JOHN McCAIN.
WHAT DID HE HAVE TO SAY AND WHAT
DID YOU MAKE OF HIS RESPONSE?
>> I ASKED HIM, YOU KNOW, I 
FIGURED HE'D ALREADY BEEN OUT 
SEVERAL TIMES DENYING THIS 
ATLANTIC STORY SO I WANTED TO 
GET IN A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF IT.
I ASKED IF GIVEN ALL THAT HAS 
HAPPENED IN THOSE FIVE YEARS 
SINCE HE SAID JOHN McCAIN IS NOT
A WAR HERO, SINCE HE SAID THAT 
HE PREFERRED PEOPLE WHO AREN'T 
CAPTURED, DOES HE HAVE ANY 
REGRETS FOR THAT?
AND HE SAID THAT HE RESPECTED 
JOHN McCAIN BUT HE MADE IT 
PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT HE HAS 
ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS WHATSOEVER
FOR SAYING HE'S NOT A WAR HERO, 
FOR SAYING THAT HE PREFERS 
PEOPLE WHO AREN'T CAPTURED.
HE TOLD ME I SAY WHAT I SAY.
THAT WAS HIS EXACT QUOTE.
I SAY WHAT I SAY.
AND THEN HE ADDED THAT HE THINKS
THAT HE'S BEEN PROVEN CORRECT IN
ALL OF THIS.
SO ABSOLUTELY NO REGRET 
WHATSOEVER FROM WHAT HE SAID 
ABOUT JOHN McCAIN. 
>> AND JOE BIDEN ALSO, HE 
REACTED QUICKLY TO THIS STORY 
COMING OUT OF THE ATLANTIC, AND 
HIS RESPONSE, VERY FORCEFUL, NO 
DOUBT THINKING ABOUT HIS SON 
BEAU. 
>> Reporter: NO DOUBT.
BEAU OBVIOUSLY SERVED.
HE SERVED DURING THE CONFLICT IN
KOSOVO, SERVED AGAIN WHILE HE 
WAS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF 
DELAWARE.
OBVIOUSLY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
WAS KIND OF FUELING BIDEN'S 
RESPONSE TO ALL THIS BUT I THINK
IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
I THINK IT WAS ALSO THE GENUINE 
FRIENDSHIP THAT JOE BIDEN HAD 
WITH JOHN McCAIN.
I THINK THAT BIDEN REALLY FOUND 
IT HORRIFYING THE WAY TRUMP 
TALKED ABOUT McCAIN DURING THE 
CAMPAIGN AND THE WAY WHEN McCAIN
DIED HE REFUSED FOR A TIME TO 
PUT THE FLAG DOWN HERE AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE SO I THINK THAT HE 
WAS IN SOME WAYS CHANNELLING HIS
OLD REPUBLICAN FRIEND JOHN 
McCAIN WHEN HE HEARD THAT 
PASSION IN BIDEN'S VOICE TODAY. 
>> NEVER DENY A WAR HERO, THAT'S
FOR SURE.
JOHN KARL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
>>> NEXT TO THE DEADLY 
CONFRONTATION WITH THE SUSPECTED
KILLER IN PORTLAND, OREGON, U.S.

ALLEGEDLY ARMED MAN.
HOURS AGO HE APPEARED IN AN

BASICALLY ADMITTED TO KILL AGO

VIOLENCE A TIPPING POINT. 
>> BUT THIS IS AN ALL HANDS ON 
DECK MOMENT AND I THINK WE WOULD
ALL AGREE THAT WE NEED TO WORK 
COLLECTIVELY TO STOP THE 
VIOLENCE IN PORTLAND. 
>> Reporter: OVERNIGHT U.S. 
MARSHALS SHOT AND KILLED THE MAN
WANTED IN LAST WEEK'S SHOOTING 
DEATH OF A PRO-TRUMP PROTESTER.
THE MARSHALS SWOOPING IN TO 
ARREST SELF-DESCRIBED 
ANTI-FASCIST MICHAEL REINOEHL IN
WASHINGTON STATE.
OFFICIALS SAY HE BRANDISHED A 
GUN AND TRIED TO FLEE IN HIS 
CAR. 
>> THERE WERE SHOTS FIRED INTO 
THE VEHICLE.
AND THE SUBJECT FLED FROM THE 
VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME THERE WAS 
ADDITIONAL SHOTS THAT WERE 
FIRED. 
>> Reporter: REINOEHL WAS 
PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE.
WE LEARNED OF THE SHOOTING AS 
PORTLAND ENDURED ITS 99th 
CONSECUTIVE NIGHT OF PROTESTS. 
>> THAT MADE WHAT APPEARS TO BE 
A COUPLE OF ARRESTS. 
>> Reporter: REINOEHL'S KILLING 
CAME AFTER VICE NEWS RELEASED 
THIS INTERVIEW WITH HIM IN WHICH
HE CALLED THE KILLING 
SELF-DEFENSE. 
>> TOTALLY JUSTIFIED.
HAD I NOT ACTED I AM CONFIDENT 
THAT MY FRIEND AND I'M SURE I 
WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. 
>> Reporter: DANIELSON WAS PART 
OF A PRO-TRUMP CARAVAN OF 
VEHICLES WEDNESDAYING THROUGH 
PORTLAND LAST SATURDAY KRARING 
WITH ANTIFA AND BLM PROTESTERS. 
>> WE'RE JOINED BY MATT GUTMAN, 
WHAT ARE YOU SEEING ON THE 
STREETS AND WHAT'S EXPECTED OVER
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND?
>> Reporter: IT'S CALM HERE 
RIGHT NOW, KYRA, A LOT OF THE 
PROTESTERS, BOTH FROM ANTIFA, 
BLM AND THE OTHER SIDE, THE 
PATRIOT PRAYERS AND THE OTHER 
RIGHT-WING PRO-TRUMP SUPPORTERS 
ARE RESTING.
WE EXPECT SOME TURBULENCE 
TONIGHT, SPECIFICALLY FROM 
ANTIFA AND BLM ACTIVISTS WHO ARE
GOING TO BE ON THE MARCH.
BUT POLICE, WHEN YOU TALK TO 
THEM, THEY ARE BRACING FOR A NOT
INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF 
VIOLENCE.
WE JUST SPOKE TO THE HEAD OF THE
POLICE UNION HERE WHO SAID 
TENSIONS ARE AT A BOILING POINT.
AND WHEN I ASKED HIM WHAT THE 
CHANCES WERE OF THIS WEEK GOING 
PEACEFULLY, WHEN THERE ARE 
ACTIVISTS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE
POLITICAL SPECTRUM FLOGGING INTO
THE CITY HE SAID SLIM TO NONE.
ONE INTERESTING THING HE 
MENTIONED, HE BELIEVES, AND A 
LOT OF POLICE OFFICERS DO, THAT 
IT WOULD REALLY HELP THEIR CAUSE
IF THE DA ALLOWED THEM TO KEEP 
THE PEOPLE THAT THEY DETAIN AND 
ARREST IN JAIL JUST A LITTLE BIT
LONGER, MAKE THEIR LIVES A 
LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED, A 
GREAT DETERRENT FROM THEM 
PROTESTING IN THE FUTURE, WHAT 
HE SAYS THAT THEY'RE SEEING IS 
JUST THIS CONSTANT ROLLOVER OF 
PROTESTERS WHO GET DETAINED, 
RELEASED THE NEXT DAY, THEY'RE 
BACK ON THE STREETS WITHIN 
HOURS.
HE HOPES THAT THAT IS SOMETHING 
THAT MIGHT STOP IN THE FUTURE, 
KYRA. 
>> ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR 
ALSO WEIGHING IN TODAY ABOUT THE
KILLING OF MICHAEL REINOEHL. 
>> Reporter: HE CALLED IT A 
TAKEDOWN.
A KNOWN ANTIFA MEMBER IS OFF THE
STREETS, HERALDING THE WORK OF 
FEDERAL OFFICERS, SPECIFICALLY 
THE U.S. MARSHALS.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE 
CASE.
NOW THAT A MEMBER OF ANTIFA, OR 
WHAT HE DESCRIBED HIMSELF, AS AN
ANTI-FASCIST HAS BEEN SHOT AND 
KILLED BY POLICE HE JUST JOINS 
THE RANKS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO 
HAVE BEEN SHOT AND KILLED BY 
POLICE.
THERE'S A LOT OF ANGER IN THE 
STREETS ABOUT THAT, PEOPLE WERE 
JUST REALIZING IT LAST NIGHT 
WHEN A PROTEST THAT WE WERE IN, 
THAT IS A NEW RALLYING CRY FOR 
PROTESTERS HERE.
SO I'M NOT SURE THAT'S ACTUALLY 
GOING TO CALM THINGS DOWN.
AT LEAST HERE IN PORTLAND, KYRA.
>> DEFINITELY WE'LL BE FOLLOWING
IT, MATT GUTMAN, THANKS SO MUCH.
>> TO THE ANGER AND UNREST ON 
THE STREETS OF ROCHESTER, NEW

AND WE DECIDED TO DO BOTH.
WE DIDN'T MAKE IT HALFWAY 
THROUGH THE UNO GAME BEFORE SHE 
WAS FALLING ASLEEP.

OFF THE TV.
NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS A LOUD 
BANG AT THE DOOR. 
>> THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT RIGHT 
AWAY BUT IT WAS THE POLICE 
CHARGING THROUGH THE DOOR WITH A
NO KNOCK WARRANT, SIGNED BY A 
JUDGE.
THE POLICE WERE LOOKING FOR 
DRUGS THAT WEREN'T THERE.
WALKER WAS LEGALLY CARRYING A 
GUN AND SAYS HE FIRED IT IN 
SELF-DEFENSE.

TAYLOR, WHO WAS SHOT FIVE TIMES.
ONE OF THE OFFICERS WAS SHOT IN 
THE LEG.
AND AT FIRST THEY ARRESTED 
WALKER FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER.
YOU SEE HIM SURRENDERING HERE.
BUT THOSE CHARGES WERE LATER 
DROPPED. 
>> THE CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST 
ME WERE MEANT TO SILENCE ME AND 
COVER UP BREONNA'S MURDER. 
>> IN THIS POLICE INTERVIEW 
AFTER THE SHOOTING YOU HEAR 
WALKER INSIST THIS WAS THE FAULT
OF THE POLICE, AND NOT HIS. 
>> IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
SOMEBODY'S BEATING ON THE DOOR 
AND NOT SAYING WHO THEY ARE.
LIKE, NO, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO 
DO IF YOU'RE AT HOME WITH YOUR 
FAMILY AND SOMEBODY'S BEATING ON

IT IS.

WOMAN'S LIFE IS NOT JUST THE 
LOSS OF BREONNA'S LIFE BUT THE 
LOSS OF HER FUTURE WITH KENNY.

>>> PROTESTERS GATHERED TODAY IN
BREONNA TAYLOR'S HOMETOWN OF 
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY FOR THE 
100th STRAIGHT DAY AND TOMORROW 
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED
TO PROTEST OUTSIDE THE CITY'S 
LEGENDARY CHURCHILL DOWNS 
RACETRACK WHERE THE 146th ANNUAL
KENTUCKY DERBY WILL BE HELD WITH
NO FANS.
MANY FOLKS ACTUALLY WANT IT 
CANCELLED.
THERE'S ONE THOROUGHBRED HORSE 
OWNER WHO'S BEEN UNDER GROWING 
PRESSURE NOW TO PULL OUT OF THE 
DERBY IN PROTEST OF THE KILLING 
OF TAYLOR.
HE'S GREG HARBUT, CO-OWNER OF 
THE HORSE NECKER ISLAND.
HE'S HERE WITH US TO TALK ABOUT 
THE SITUATION TAKING PLACE.
WE SHOULD POINT OUT, GREG, YOU 
KNOW, AS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
OWNER IT'S VERY SPECIAL FOR YOU 
TO HAVE A HORSE IN THIS DERBY.
BUT WHAT PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW IS 
THAT THERE IS A HISTORY OF 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS WORKING IN 
RACING FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED 
YEARS.
YOUR FAMILY INCLUDED.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT LEGACY. 
>> WELL, AS YOU MENTIONED, 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS HAVE MADE A 
GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THE 
THOROUGHBRED RACING INDUSTRY.
THE FIRST KENTUCKY DERBY WINNER 
WAS ACTUALLY TRAINED BY AN 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND RIDDEN BY 
AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN JOCKEY NAMED
OLIVER LEWIS.
MY FAMILY HAVE CERTAINLY MADE 
GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE 
INDUSTRY.
I'M A THIRD GENERATION HORSEMAN.
MY GRADE GRANDFATHER WAS WILL 
HARBUT WHO GAINED GREAT 
NOTORIETY WITH HIS ASSOCIATION 
WITH NANA WAR.
MY GRANDFATHER TOM HARBUT WAS A 
VERY SUCCESSFUL GROOMSMAN IN HIS
ERA AND ACTUALLY OWNED A 
KENTUCKY DERBY WINNER -- A 
KENTUCKY DERBY PARTICIPANT IN 
1962 BY THE NAME OF TOUCH BAR. 
>> WE SHOULD POINT OUT THAT IN 
1962 YOUR GRANDFATHER TOM WASN'T
EVEN ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE 
STANDS. 
>> THAT'S TRUE.
DUE TO THE CIVIL UNREST AND THE 
SOCIAL SEGREGATION, EVERYONE 
THOUGH HE WAS A BREEDER AS WELL 
AS THE CO-OWNER OF THE HORSE HE 
WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BE LISTED OR 
COME TO THE GRAND STANDS IN THAT
YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS SO MUCH 
SPECIAL, AS FAR AS MY 
PARTICIPATION WITH EVERYTHING 
THAT'S GOING ON IN THE COUNTRY, 
WITH THE CIVIL UNREST, TO BRING 
AWARENESS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS 
THAT AFRICAN-AMERICANS BEFORE ME
HAVE MADE TO THIS INDUSTRY AND 
TO SHOW THE WORLD AS WELL AS THE
RACING INDUSTRY THAT 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS HAVE MADE 
GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS AS WELL AS 
LETTING THE AWARENESS BE KNOWN 
THAT AS AFRICAN-AMERICANS WE CAN
PARTICIPATE IN THE SPORT, IN THE
INDUSTRY THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY 
INCLUSIVE AND LOOKS LIKE US. 
>> AND WITH THAT POINT, AND I 
WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT, LET'S
NOW TALK ABOUT BREONNA TAYLOR 
WHO WAS KILLED BY POLICE THERE 
LOUISVILLE.
AND YOU ARE THE RARE BLACK HORSE
OWNER IN A SPORT THAT IS AMONG 
THE WHITEST IN AMERICA, LET'S 
JUST BE BLUNT ABOUT IT AND NOW 
YOU'RE BEING CALLED TO BOYCOTT 
AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS RACE.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
AND WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE WHO
ARE PUTTING YOU UNDER PRESSURE 
TO DO SO?
>> WELL, BEING CALLED FOR THE 
BOYCOTT OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY AS
WELL AS CHURCHILL DOWNS BUT NO 
ONE AS REACHED OUT DIRECTLY TO 
CALL FOR THE BOYCOTT OF NECKER 
ISLAND.
WE HAVE RECEIVED GREAT SUPPORT 
FROM THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OTHER CIVIL
LEADERS TO ACTUALLY STAND AND 
PARTICIPATE, STAY IN THE RACE, 
AND REPRESENT THE 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN A 
SPORT IN WHICH WE HAVE A LONG 
STORIED HISTORY. 
>> SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO 
THOSE, THOUGH, THAT THINK THAT 
YOU SHOULDN'T BE THERE, THAT YOU
SHOULDN'T STAND THERE AND BE 
PRESENT AND YOU SHOULD BE OUT 
PROTESTING?
>> FOR THOSE WHO SAY THAT WE 
SHOULD NOT BE HERE I WOULD 
ENCOURAGE THEM TO LOOK AT THE 
KENTUCKY HISTORY.
AS I'VE STATED BEFORE KENTUCKY 
DERBY HISTORY BEGINS WITH 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
WE HAVE BEEN ERASED FROM THOSE 
HISTORY BOOKS AS OF LATE.
BUT WE'VE SET OUT TO BRING MORE 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN THIS 
BUSINESS TO EDUCATE 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS, TO SHARE OUR 
HISTORY IN THIS GREAT SPORT AND 
TO SHOW THAT WE CAN BE 
PARTICIPANTS IN A SPORT THAT HAS
OTHERWISE NOT BEEN INCLUSIVE TO 
US AS OF LATE.
THIS IS A GREAT SPORT.
IT'S $100 BILLION INDUSTRY A 
YEAR, EMPLOYS OVER 1 MILLION 
INDIVIDUALS A YEAR AND WE SHOULD
HAVE A PIECE OF THIS INDUSTRY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL 
BUSINESS STRUCTURE OF SUCCESSFUL
COMPANIES EVERY BUSINESS THAT IS
SUCCESSFUL IS DIVERSIFIED IN 
INCLUSIVE COMPANY. 
>> POINT WELL MADE.
LET ME ASK YOU, THEN, DO YOU 
THINK ATHLETES IN THE NBA AND 
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WERE 
JUSTIFIED IN BOYCOTTING GAMES IN
SUPPORT OF THE BLACK LIVES 
MATTER MOVEMENT?
BECAUSE THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES ARE 
DIFFERENT THAN YOURS. 
>> I THINK EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAS 
THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE STANCE 
THAT THEY DEEM BEST FOR THEM.
AS I'VE STATED BEFORE MY PARTNER
AS WELL AS MYSELF WE STAND WITH 
BLACK LIVES MATTER AND WE STAND 
FOR JUSTICE FOR BREONNA TAYLOR.
AND EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS TO TAKE 
THE APPROACH THAT THEY DEEM THAT
IS BEST FOR THEM.
BUT I THINK OVERALL THERE'S A 
CONSENSUS AMONGST ALL OF US THAT
WE WANT JUSTICE FOR BREONNA 
TAYLOR AND HER FAMILY. 
>> FINAL QUESTION, GREG, THERE'S
BEEN A DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER TO 
CONTINUE THE CENTURY OLD 
TRADITION OF SINGING THE STATE 
SONG "MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME" AT 
THE RACE THIS YEAR, IT WAS 
ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT THE SONG 
WILL BE PLAYED BUT MODIFIED AND 
THEN WILL BE PRECEDED BY A 
MOMENT OF SILENCE AND 
REFLECTION.
IS THIS THE RIGHT DECISION?
>> I THINK IT IS THE RIGHT 
DECISION AT THIS PARTICULAR 
TIME.
I THINK CHURCHILL DOWNS HAS A 
GREAT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND I 
THINK ONCE WE GET PAST THIS 
KENTUCKY DERBY I BELIEVE THOSE 
BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL AS OTHERS 
CAN HOPEFULLY MEET, HAVE A 
DISCUSSION, AND COME TO 
RECONCILIATION THAT MAY WORK FOR
ALL PARTIES INVOLVED AS FAR AS 
THE FUTURE OF THE SONG AND THE 
DIRECTION THAT CHURCHILL DOWNS 
WILL TAKE. 
>> GREG, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME 
AND I'LL BE KEEPING MY EYE ON 
NECKER ISLAND TOMORROW.
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. 
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY 
PLEASURE.
