republicans, making nice with the president days before 2012 election. we are talking everything from wind-driven thunderstorms to tornados and this is a scene overnight in nashville where lightning and high winds swept across the state. tornado sirens sounded before the storm finally moved on. thousands in the southeast without power. in mississippi a lightning strike is probably to blame for the daycare center fire. the building was closed at the time. rare winter tornados spun through parts of illinois. this funnel cloud was caught by storm chasers there. the storm won't go away. the forecast is for more blizzard-like conditions. >> let's get you up to date on this subject right here. an investigation to find the

persons who brought the news to james meredith. meredith's enrollment in 1962 touched off massive riots that turned deadly and prompted jfk to address the nation. >> americans are free to disagree with the law, but not to disa bay it. for governments of law and not of man, however prominent or powerful and no mob however unruly or boisterous is entitled to defy a court of law. >> so this is what the statute looks like. that's meredith in white and the white suit in 2006 when the dedication happened. he is now 80 years old. the police chief said authorities identified three male freshmen from georgia they want to question and they are working with state and federal officials about possible criminal charges. joining me now via skype is
11:05 am
editor in chief of the campus newspaper, the daily mississippi an. hello to you. how is this received on campus, are racial problems still heavy? are. >> thanks for having me. i would say that ole miss has a race problem, but i also don't think it's limited to just our university. i want to be clear about that. the universities across the southeast are just more prone to these kinds of incidents because of the past left at the universities. at ole miss with the race riot when meredith was admitted, since then we have been dealing with these issues. i don't think there is a prevalent race problem in terms of students running around having major issues with students of other races, but i
11:06 am
do think because of our history we are more prone to some of these isolated incidents. you have to admit they are looking at student when is it comes to race at the university. >> absolutely. something that the university is doing that is unique, at other universities, ole miss is definitely not the only that have these issues. our university tackles these things head on. they have done a great job of not only responding to these incidents when they happen in a professional and really also they have taken a lot of proactive and just regular retroactive steps to ensure these things don't happen again. >> listen. trust me, i get it.
11:07 am
how are students being taught about race? are they being taught enough? are they doing a good enough job? >> that's something they talked about. there was an incident in october. there was a project about a homosexual man murdered in wyoming with students that were in attendance of that play and they decided to yell things they shouldn't have. what the university did was implemented a system that freshman during orientation, they will have to go through the sensitivity training and they will have to be taught the dos and don'ts of the situations
11:08 am
like this. that hasn't started yet. that is starting in the fall of this coming school year. i don't know if ole miss is doing enough. that's hard to say. i think there is one real answer for this. we wouldn't be sitting here having this interview right now. >> before i let you go, what would you like to see done? >> the steps they discussed that the university is doing, the program students coming in, that's a great first step. something that we have done, my whole philosophy is that as the editor of the daily mississippian has been to expose the incidents that occur and start the conversation. we need to continue the dialogue on our campus about race. i think that's the only way we can move forward and improve our racial land scape, if you will on campus.
11:09 am
>> sadly the real truth is by the time you get to the university, these things are better taught at home and it's home training and not necessarily the university's responsibility all the time to teach kids about what they should and should not do. we appreciate you joining us. >> ted nugent apologizes for using a racist term to describe president obama. he said that the president is a brute and a mongrel. that's what he said. you will hear the rocker's explanation now. i am going to speak live with a photographer who shot these stunning pictures of an infact being rescued in the middle of a highway. several states on alert for twisters. getting two regions. stay right here. ok, why's that? well uhhh... surprise!!! um...

11:25 am
it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take
11:26 am
and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need, ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

11:28 am
>> 1-0? i'm not mad at you. >> good. >> let's head down to the nation's tap tal. washington is hosting the governor. they sat down with the president and meeting amongst themselves and they will meet together. democrats dropped this greeting on the republicans as they were arriving. >> the fallout for chris christie. >> he's an embarrasment to his own state. >> they are taking aim at chris christie. christie not only has a scandal on his hands, he might be running for president. from washington, they are playing for it seems like the
11:29 am
democrats are playing "hardball." christie is standing among the governors and seeps to be surviving if for no other reason than he is raising record sums of money. >> she delivering. he is raising money for them and raised $18 million. since january which is when he had the scandal problem, he raised about 9. he made a point of being out there and raising the money they need. there is whispering behind his back about is this okay and is this going to hurt the brand. as long as the money comes in, i think he's fine. >> how important is his future or political plans to that as the head of the republican organization? >> it's very important. a, it gives him visibility although he argues that he has enough visibility of the wrong sort, but it allows him to
11:30 am
collect chits. i raise money for you and you help me out. it allows him to go into key battle ground states that one might want if you are running for the presidency. this was going to be a clear steppingstone to the next thing. it may well be if he survives his scandal. it does help him on a lot of fronts. doesn't hurt to have people owe you something in politics. >> it seems odd, i don't know if schitzoid is the word. he is getting all of this support and back at home you hear some people saying that it's the bridge gate scandal. >> the story in new jersey and we saw yesterday, he had a town hall in new jersey. you have sandy recovery and he said he spent% of my time on
11:31 am
sandy recovery reminding them of the brand they liked when he was in charge of sandy recovery. the second thing he got back home is the bridge gate scandal. very aggressive investigation in the state legislature. hanging over the heads of aids who are not cooperating with the committees. they have to proceed because he doesn't know where the scandal will go. he spoke his peace and said he knew nothing about it, but it will take on a life of its own. all he can control is what he does. that's what they are trying to do. >> it appears that other lives, this scandal has more than nine lives. some people have entire shows night after night about the christie bridge gate scandal. it's amazing.
11:32 am
just amazing. >> it's interesting to a certain group of people. there may be more to come out of the state legislature. we are doing our own reporting and the legislature is trying to get the information. we'll will have to keep reporting it. >> gloria borger, hope it's not as foggy there. >> it's foggy. >> new york city's mayor was supposedly speeding two days after the mayor announced a plan to make city streets safer. new york station w cbs shot video of the two-car caravan speeding through city streets and blowing traffic lights. he said police operate his caravan and he hunted other questions until later. >> we talked to them about that. we are very serious about this

11:34 am
that's kiev looking like a war zone after the deadliest day in months of protests. the president and the leader of the anti-government protest signed a peace deal. now live from kiev. protesters have 24 hours to leave the streets and turn in weapons. we are hearing some have refused to leave. 9:30 and people were dying in the streets. what is it like there now? >> it is very emotional for that reason. only a day ago, people were falling and being gunned down in the streets surrounding this square. there is tremendous sorrow for the fallen protesters. this is not a celebration although they have really the key concessions they were after. they realize it is the only krktive way forward. this is not a celebration and
11:35 am
they are not rejecting it. a lot of emotion. they have been occupying the square for some months now. this represents the best way forward to try to turn their country on the direction they believe it should be headed towards the west. >> we know there is this tug of war with the european union and russia and president obama is calling vladimir putin and what influence does the u.s. have in all of this? >> we know from history russia digs its heels in and little benefit could be done to look at a situation differently. they can try to convince president putin in ukraine it doesn't have to be a zero choice for the country between the east and the west. this can benefit all and may not be lucky, but the united states
11:36 am
and europe in particular had been effective. particularly over the last week or so. particularly announcing the possibility of targeted sanctions against those they believe are responsible for the violence that has been taking place. members of the opposition that that pressure played a in bringing the government to the negotiation table and resulted in what took place here. >> rocker ted newtent apologizing for comments about president obama. he called the president a subhuman mongrel. he talked to ben ferguson's radio show earlier today. ben ferguson joins me next. later one of the men charged in the beating of a baseball fan was released and arrested again on federal changes. you will hear why. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season".

. this next story is -- eew. first lady michelle obama hanging out with jimmy fallon. she kept it real and had fun at the same time. she joined fallon and will ferrell in a sketch for a fake nickelodeon show called eew. she said exercise is not eew, but shared something a lot of parents know about. you know how some kids can be when they don't want their parents around because they think they will look lame. it turns out the first lady deals with the same thing. >> they want nothing to do with us. >> really? >> i am so serious. malia said please just don't come to my school. keep your s.w.a.t. team and your -- and they really want normalcy. the white house is not normal.
11:41 am
they go other places. i will say don't you want to invite your friends over to watch a movie. she said no one wants to come here. >> give them about ten years. they will be happy about that. she told fallon she wants people to use social media to show how they are moving, dancing or exercising. it's part of the campaign started four years ago this week. take a seat and watch us. reach out to me on social media. let me know what you think. ted nugent said he's sorry. did he really? he called the president subhuman and more presicily a subhuman mongrel. his words caught fire and given conservative leanings, they brought pressure on certain republicans to condemn him. here's ted nugent with the radio show.
11:42 am
>> subhuman mongrel is a derogatory term. most people agree with that. did you cross the line by calling the president of the united states of america that and if you saw barack obama, would you apologize to him for saying that about him? >> yes, i would. i did cross the line. i do apologize. not necessarily to the president, but on behalf of much better men than myself like the best governor in america, rick perry. the best -- >> rick perry by the way is one of the republicans who actually denounced slurs against the president. ben ferguson joins me now. that was a powerful interview. listen, was that an apology? it doesn't sound like an apology. here's an apology. an apology is ben, i'm sorry.
11:43 am
that's an apology. >> it's also ted nugent. i doubt he will stay i'm sorry and stop talking. i asked him to clarify after the break, a lot of people said is that a real apology. i said if the president is listening, do you apologize to him and he said yes. i want to make it very clear. ted nugent is a guy who doesn't use very few words. he uses a lot. he will tell you where he's coming from. that's why i tried to ask him to clarify and make it clear. are you apologizing and he said yes, he is. >> he said yes, but he went on and i apologize for using the term and i don't apologize to him. that doesn't sound like it. it sounds like apologizing to himself or powerful republican who is might have gotten him to take it back and do it fast. >> i think if you listen to what he said, he said look, i feel
11:44 am
bad for the people that i was trying to help that i may have hurt. i obviously feel bad for the words as he put it that i used and said he would not use the words again. i asked him that second time, are you apologizing directly to the president on this and he said yes, he is. i think he realizes that it did not help greg abbott that this came out 40 days earlier when he actually said this. he didn't say it at the event. he said i learned from others and i would not use the words again. it's pretty obvious from what he said today in the interview, he said he's not a fan of barack obama. he's not going to apologize for that. the words he used, he would not use again. you talking about what he said on the radio show or what he said on twitter? what i got from the show is he was not apologizing to the president. he said i'm apologizing for it and i don't want to keep going through it. it didn't sound like an apology to me. it comes without caveat.
11:45 am
if you are sorry, you are sorry. there no strings attached. it doesn't sound like to to me and most people. >> you may not take his apology. i asked him to clarify. the second part i asked him a direct question and he said he was sorry, yes. he apologizes to the president. he said he would not use those words again. he is a man of, like i said, many words. you can hear that in the interview and i posted it on twitter. it wasn't like five minutes. we talked for 20 minutes. we explained and how it went down and what happened. if are him and looking at ted nugent, this is the best apology that he has done as he put it, ever in his life. i think it was sincere for the harm that was done and those he was shouurrounding himself with. >> does this mean that ted nugent can campaign with republicans about being
11:46 am
politically radioactive. >> i think ted nugent from the way he was talking to me realizes now that at least for the short-term, he does not want to hurt any candidate he supports. i doubt he would go out right now with anyone. he is probably going to enjoy hunting and relax a little bit. he will come back in the future. i'm sure if someone asked him to. he is not bashful, but from the tone of voice, i have been around him enough to know when he is being over the top. i thought it was more like the real guy. he doesn't want to hurt any candidates he supports. you won't see him out there. >> fair enough. he is doing more harm than good, right? >> it's what he said to me. if i can go back, i would not use those words. that's what ted said.
11:47 am
this is not the first time. this is about the president and other people. this is not the first time. you are making yourself look bad. >> here's the thing. he is not a politician. he's not a pastor and a priest. he's a rock star that is a crazy rock star. i want to make this clear. he's not going to stop being ted nugent and does not want to hurt those he truly supports. >> i have to go. >> i don't think ted nugent is going to go away. >> okay. i have a lot to say, but i won't. thank you very much. always good. i will see you this weekend on cnn. one of the men convicted in the brutal beating was released and immediately arrested again this time on federal charges. what he was changed with today

11:58 am
nichols took off with her daughter. >> i hope she comes back to get the authorities to get her. >> not five minutes later it happened. nichols walked up to the camera. >> the satanic cult in the city has been casting spells on me for three or four days. i'm exhausted. i came home and found out my mom was the ringleader and trying to kill my daughter. >> nichols said she had to act because her mom was putting curses on them. >> she was going to kill both of us. she was so powerful. i had no idea. i had no idea that my mother was that powerful. >> nichols's mother was stabbed in the neck, chest, and stomach and rushed to the hospital for surgery. >> when i left, she was still breathing. i stabbed her three times and she should have died. she was still breathing. i don't know what happened to her afterwards. i don't know where they took her or what happened, but she was the anti-christ. she did not die.
11:59 am
>> afterwards, she and her daughter hid out. >> we're ended up in a rural area and we just waited for the sign that it was safe to come back. >> now that nichols is in custody, they hope she gets the help she needs. nichols said she did everyone a favor. >> she had representations of my death and my daughter's death and every nuclear explosion that was supposed to happen that is not going to now because all of the cult has been rounded up and killed now. >> that was our affiliate from wblt reporting. following this breaking news, more about pop's phone call. we know the violence in the ukraine was one of the topics of that conversation.
12:00 pm
we want to head out to the white house. jim, what do you know so far? >> so far all we can tell is you that the press secretary said about an hour ago during the press briefing. that call was going to occur during ta time period. we believe the two presidents had spoken. i had a chance to ask about this comment that the president made earlier this week. he is not involved in an international chess game with vladimir putin over the ukraine. he said that is not the case and it's not a tug of war and it's not a proxy conflict about the rights of the people to protest peacefully. we will find out shortly what this conversation was like. and the president was going to be frank and candid with the president and the president said himself when he was asked that
12:01 pm
question the other night about putin's influence in ukraine. the president said he is forthright with vladimir putin when he gets him on the phone. it will be interesting to hear what he had to say when it comes out in this read out that we are expecting. >> appreciate that. businesses may have the legal right to refuse the service and others if that business owner feels like that person in some ways are violating religious beliefs. this cleared the legislature and sitting on the governor's desk. they don't see what all the fuss is about. >> in america, people should be free to live and work according to faith. >> i don't see this as an attack in so far as those who believe in when you are protecting your right to practice religion and not engage in a contract. arizona is not the only state to

12:03 pm
into my shop or restaurant or hotel because i personally don't like gay people and it's against my religion. >> what about this. what if someone said i don't want to you come in because i'm a nonbeliever and that offends me. >> it's an exception that follows the rule. everyone in america is equal or everyone is not equal. as martin luther king said all we said is equal protection of the laws. >> these measures aim to shield business owners from discrimination suits. what about the federal civil rights protections? >> right. that's the problem. i don't think ultimately this law is going to be upheld. i think it's pandering to a certain portion of the population who wants to discriminate against gays and lesbia lesbians. they are on the wrong side of history.
12:04 pm
we are moving forward rapidly for lgbt rights. this is going to be a blip on the radar and it will not be upheld. >> lisa bloom, thank you so much. we did invite republicans on people who support the bill and no one took us up on that. thanks again. a tough day for american hockey fans. the music means it's time for information about the olympics. this is not good news. the men's hockey team lot of to canada in the olympic semi final match. canada defeated the u.s. with a score of 1-0. ed the gold medal game with the second day in a row that canada has did shed the treatments. u.s. women lot of a heartbreaker match to canada to get an olympic to get a silver medal. the woman dubbed the michael jordan of figure skating was dethroned. some people call foul now.

south korea's yuna kim was a heavy favorite going into the free skate portion of the women's competition. she lot of out to a 17-year-old russian who became the first female skater to win gold. some say the russian stepped out after landing a triple jump. the judges spashing outrage. one judge was suspended for a year for trying to fix an event at the 1998 winter olympics. another judge is married to the head of the russian figure skating federation. what? we want an insider to weigh in. the coach joins us now from colorado. >> figure skating. there is going to be controversy. however i'm not saying it's
12:06 pm
right. my reaction to the results and the wrong person was in first place. i think all three skated very, very well. they are to be commended. i think the judging was a foul. should judge scores be anonymous or transparent? >> 100% transparent. if we are going remain a le judgeitimate score. we have to be sure that people can understand how they are placed and how the public perceives the sport. that's very important. >> the american figure skater slammed the judging. last night judging, did that affect the skaters's chance for a medal? >> i don't think the american girls were in serious contention to win. i think they had potential to be on the podium. i do think that the top three girls should have been the top three girls.
12:07 pm
italy, korea and the skate of her life. she is not the same class and caliber as the other two ladies. i would have been okay with customer winning or yuna kim being the champion. i think they have to take a look and it's like a chemical. >> ids said what is going on. you said you retired because you didn't look the direction of where figure skating is headed? >> you nailed it. transparency from the judges make the sport so that it's more user-friendly for the athletes and the coaches. i retired from competitive coaching because i felt that the sport was becoming so complicated and very cookie cutter like a lot of the programs had the exact same
12:08 pm
elements in them that are dictated to go after points. i don't think figure skating is an art as well as a sport. it's not a magic formula to win. that's what the audiences are missing. we have to get back to the performance and back to the artistry and the audience connection in order for it to be more popular again. i think that they have gone the wrong direction. maybe when they bring it back. >> i appreciate your candor and your words. >> thank you. >> strong words from a member of congress. americans are not ready for a female president. the person behind the comments, representative michele bachmann and the reason she believes has a lot of people fired up today. we will tell you what she said next. we are learning just how much

. michele bachmann ran for president in the last election and for a brief moment her campaign for the republican nomination seemed to catch fire. for a brief moment. now she said america is not ready for a female president. here's where it really gets interesting. bachman said a woman running for president would be a bigger disadvantage than barack obama was when he ran. here's what she told cal thomas. i think there was a cachet about having an african-american the
12:13 pm
president because of the guilt. people don't hold guilt for a woman. i don't think there is a pent up desire for a woman president. i almost want to laugh. let's toss this around with kelly goff. we know a senior opinion editor at the washington times. obviously you may not find it funny. i do. there is so much irony in all of this. she doesn't think there could be a woman president and she ran for president. is there a chance that michele bachmann is taking a shot at hilary clinton? >> is there a chance? more than a chance here. this is more than a bit of sour grapes. as you pointed out, she ran and lot of badly. not because she was a woman, but because he ran a terrible campaign. there was a lot of enthusiasm and her undoing appears to be michele bachmann according to her aides. she ran a terrible campaign, the country as a whole is not ready for a female president.
12:14 pm
>> emily, i will ask you the same question. is this a shot at hilary clinton? >> this was taken out of context. i got off the phone with the spokesman and he said this entire where this has gone is out of context in the piece. a lot of people say that and people believe women are not ready to be president. she personally obviously believes women are running for president and she wouldn't have run. what happened to her when she was running, there was a way double standard in the way she was treated versus men. she was asked in the debate whether she was going to be submissive to her husband in the white house. she was asked if she was a flake. she was treated so differently than men. i think it's a truthful experience. >> i understand what you are saying. she is saying she thinks that women are ready to be president, but i think that the point is
12:15 pm
are the american people ready to elect a woman who was president. she was responding to that as well. that was what the response was about. >> she said there were a lot of people in this country. she did not say the country was not ready. i will say what her spokesman told me. thee believes the country is ready and she just doesn't want it to be hilary clinton. i agree 100% tht the country is rate for a female, not hilary clinton. >> how do you explain this? i think there is a cachet to have an african-american president. i don't think there is a pent up desire for a woman president. how do you explain that? she said people voted for barack obama because they were guilty. >> i think there is a lot of truth to that. there is white guilt over -- >> they are guilty years later? >> absolutely i think so. he didn't win on the merits of the economy. are you going to laugh or let me
12:16 pm
finish? >> the economy is a disaster and the highest unemployment rate even though it was jimmied in the end. he destroyeded our health care system. what merits was he elected on? people want to give him a chance because he's black. >> i think that's really under in estimating the american people and insuling to americans. >> don, he ran and he had been a half of a term in senate. what experience did he have when he ran? >> that's beside the point. you are not answering the point. >> i'm happy to answer your question. >> that has nothing to do with the american people being guilty. that is apples and oranges. here's what you are saying. well let me say the american people you are saying when they say guilt, black penal are not guilty. you are saying white guilt. white guilt. white people were guilty enough to vote for barack obama the first time and then you are saying in your estimation, he
12:17 pm
did a terrible job and they were so guilty they again vote for him and they were stupid enough if they felt that way to vote for him again. >> i don't think that's stupid. >> that's insuling to america. >> it's insuling to the president and i don't think he is qualified to be president. mitt romney would have been a much better president. >> okay. hold on. >> i am going to jump in and say first of all with all due respect what you said is insuling. i know plenty of people whether personally or in my own family who thinks he has done quite a bit whether it was the affordable care act that is changing their lives and a lot of other things such as trying to make it easier for people with student loan debt. it may not matter to you, but not because he's a black guy. that is incredibly insuling. the other thing that is not taken out of context, i'm sick and tired of the whole suffering who had the worse olympics.

12:22 pm
don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.

expectations on all levels and that means big money for the state of hol raddo and we are talking tens of millions of dollars just in taxes. colorado expects to collect up to $184 million in tax revenue in the first 18 months of recreational pot sales. i don't know why that tickles me so much, but that girl was smart to do what she did. i want to bring in anna cabrera in denver. you talked to pot storeowners and they described marijuana as selling a frenzy, right? >> it's a frenzy. it is big business. big money here in colorado. we are getting a bigger picture of what the numbers are looking like. what it's adding up to with the state and the small businesses that opened in the medical marijuana industry. those dispensary owners we have been talking to tell us since the drug was legal to sell for recreational use, business has not slowed down. it's almost too much. owner said she could only be
12:27 pm
open a third of the time because she doesn't have enough product to keep up with the demand. another owner said he was selling just the medical marijuana and this was legal and his business has quadrupled. he has seen 500 customers a day. clearly that 25% excise in sales tax that people have to pay for the recreational marijuana is not keeping them away from buying the drug legally versus going to the black market. industry supporters see businesses having success and the state is making money. they say this is a real win. take a listen. >> it's significant. they are generating a lot of revenue. >> that's a good thing for the state and good for your business. >> it's fantastic for the country. colorado set it up in a way that legal candidates can be implemented anywhere. i'm excited for other states to see the revenue that colorado is generating for the opportunity

about $85 million. he would like to see it go to youth prevention programs and substance abuse treatment. $12.4 million for public health. $3 million for law enforcement and public safety and about $2 million to add into the industry oversight they have going and that is just the beginning. >> thank you very much. we are getting a look in the jury deliberation room in the loud music trial. michael dunn is accuse of murdering an unarmed black teen. they said race was not a factor in the deliberations. >> as we do it based on race, he is not getting a fair trial. >> some say the jury should have considered race. we are on the case. lines of cod, 40,000 sets of eyes, or a million sleepless nights. whether it's building the world's most advanced satellite, the space station,

. juror number eight in the michael dunn murder trial said the case was not about race despite what many think. she is 21 years old. you first heard a portion of her interview on this show yesterday. now we hear the rest of her story and what happened in the jury deliberation room. there was yelling and even prayer. in the end since she and 11 others convicted michael dunn of attempted second-degree murder, dunn fired into an suv full of teenagers after an argument about their loud music. they hit and killed jordan davis, but dunn was not convicted of first-degree murder. juror number eight tried to fight for davis. at the same time she said this case was not a white and black thing. >> the protests you were
12:34 pm
chatting on the phone, that's the really reason where y you came out here. . >> yes, everybody is making this a white and black thing and it's not. nobody brought up, not one race. never. it was never brought up. >> if this case was not about race, what was it about for you? >> it was about justice. >> justice? >> when i walked into it, i wanted to bring justice to whoever it was. if it was michael dunn, i wanted to bring justice to him. leland, kevin, tommy, or jordan. i wanted to bring justice to them. >> what would you tell jordan's family? >> i would tell them from my end, i tried. i really did try. i tried to fight for their son.
12:35 pm
everyone felt he was guilty, we fought. we fought and we fought and we fought. i started look at his face when we came to nothing. i saw the look on his dad's face when we were on the stand. i know had hurts. it's like you got this wound and then somebody slices it open. now to go through the process all over again. >> jordan davis's parents saw that interview and they told her race has always been an element in their case. >> i don't think she is being genuine. for her as an african-american female to go into this case with this type of evidence, with this type of rage, with him saying thug music. how can you as a juror not think
12:36 pm
this was about race? >> i think she didn't want it to be about race. i think she really hoped that that was not an element of it. but it's always been an element. of what's happening in our case. >> i want to continue this conversation about whether race played a role or not. crystal is an editor and blogger at conservative black chick.com. makaila davis, what's your reaction to this juror? >> this trial is so layered in pain and computation. i believe what jordan's mother said to anderson last night. i think she wanted to believe that race had nothing to do with it. she wanted to do her best job. she was probably instructed in a lot of ways. she was probably picked because she didn't racialize things off the bat. she is 21 years old.
12:37 pm
in the middle of something that is so much bigger than she is, so systemic that i think she wanted it to be that way. but the pain of this and the complications and the history of this is probably more than she was prepared to handle. i do think she was trying to be thoughtful. i don't think that she should be the poster child of post racial american youth, but she does pose this proposition that not all young black people think alike. not all young black people push everything through the lens of race. not all young black people know about systemic or institutionalized racism. she kind of break this is stereotype in a way which i think it's our job to have these conversations about race, right? we are kind of doing the next level of work. perhaps it wasn't -- the evidence of the phone calls and the highly racialized notes were
12:38 pm
not part of the evidence. i think he was grappling in there. >> okay, davis's parents said race was always part of the case. >> people are misreporting what miles said so eloquently. the way i looked at her interview and the way i interpreted it is she said in the deliberations, race was not a factor. in the way the jurors came to their conclusions about michael dun's guilt. she said it was clear to her in the end that he was guilty, but not on the first charge of premeditated first-degree murder. i don't think she needs help and i am very troubled by the demeaning talk that this child needs help. it's a wonderful thing that this is a black woman who spoke very eloquently and intellectually about her experience. you know what she said and you ran the tape, she approached
12:39 pm
this as a duty to serve justice wherever justice was to be served. i think makaila is right that all black people don't think alike and approach something based on a racial lens or let me get race revench here. i think michael dunn's race played a role in the tragic killing and murder of this young boy. that is true. i don't think the juror, i don't think she was saying -- she was talking about the deliberations in all of this and i think she did a wonderful thing. isn't it great in america that a woman like her, a young woman -- what burden do you want her to bear but her own experience? >> i agree and i think race did play a role in the case. it may not have played a role in the deliberations when they said don't consider race, but that's
12:40 pm
like saying don is wearing a red sweater. don't think about the red sweater. it's interesting for the instructions. here's the thing for me. i think makaila makes a good point. this young lady is 21 years old. 21 years old. i'm not saying anything bad about her. your brain is not even developed yet. you don't have certain life experiences yet. you don't understand how the world works. >> what experiences did you want her to have? >> i'm saying as an adult, you don't have full life experience as a 21-year-old. >> she has common sense and she was impressive in that interview. >> what do you mean you don't need that? if you are going to be decided, you need to have as much -- let me finish. can you hang on, crystal. i will let you speak. if you are deciding whether someone should face a life in jail or in prison or whether someone at some point should go
12:41 pm
should have as much life , you - experience as possible to be able to make an informed decision. that's all i'm saying. >> so 21-year-olds shouldn't serve on a jury. >> hold on for a second. i think it's very layered. there is a lot of things for her to take in. she is one of those kids. she is a pier. you get to -- what i think is interesting in this case and in the trayvon martin case, we start to see the voices and the faces of more black youth. they are varied. this way hopefully we can start to break up the stereotypes that get these kids in these places where people have irrational fears or call them thugs. if they never heard juror number eight speak, what do you think they have around her? she doesn't see race or she
12:42 pm
