good evening and we begin with what president biden is calling a threat to american democracy. yesterday the president said democracy is in peril and today in tulsa, oklahoma marking the 100th anniversary of the greenwood race massacre, he spoke out against the state by state effort which republicans across the country to enact restrictive voting laws. >> this sacred right is under assault with incredible intensity like i have never seen, even though i got started as a public defender and civil rights lawyer with an intensity and aggressiveness we have not seen in a long, long time. it is simply un-american. it is not, however, sadly unprecedented. >> the new laws they are pushing are based on the election lies still being told by the former president and we got word that the man in mar-a-lago has word he will soon return to office. cnn political analyst and "new york times" washington correspondent maggie haberman

tweeting today trump has been telling a number of people he expects he will be reinstated by august. keeping them honest, there is no such thing as a former president getting reinstated, and even if there was, he won't be. the image of a one-time former president milling around in his florida club talking to anyone willing to listen about phony election results and imaginary ballots is rather sad and pathetic. but it's more than that. it has real world consequences. republican politicians in congress and state legislatures across the country, hoping to be noticed perhaps by the former president are hoping to enact laws based on his lies. limiting voting. curtailing investigation into the insurrection. some followers of his, now michael flynn who is now selling qanon merchandise online and repeating qanon favorite slogans at times seems to support a coup now against president biden. here he is last weekend at a

conference in dallas answering questions about why a myanmar-style coup can't happen here. >> i want to know why what happened in myanmar can't happen here. >> no reason. i mean it should happen. no reason. that's right. >> well, just as he has every time his q curious statements have gotten him in hot water, lieutenant general flynn is trying to gas light people into thinking the opposite. a former military officer shocking or should be. i recently talked -- has there been another point in american history where democracy was as threatened as it potentially is now? >> the civil war. >> yeah. >> beyond the civil war, no. certainly nobody's living memory. not nixon, not roosevelt, not mccarthyism.

democracy has never been under threat in this way. and we do not consider ourselves particularly alarmists, and we are now convinced that there is a serious chance that the republican party tries to steal the 2024 election. i think 2020 ended up being a dress rehearse until which republicans learned that there are levers that they could pull to throw out ballots of rival strongholds based on false allegations of fraud or based on technicalities. >> professor lipinski and his co-author are two of 100 scholars of democracy who today warned that our, quote, entire democracy is at risk. they continued republican leaders have had numerous opportunities to repudiate trump and his stop the steal crusade leading to the violent attack on

the u.s. capitol. each time they side-stepped the truth and enabling the lie to spread. they conclude by urging lawmakers to do whatever is necessary, including suspending the fill buster to pass laws guaranteeing the votes to all americans equally and preventing state legislatures from manipulating the rules in order to manufacturer results. quoting their closing words our democracy is fundamentally at stake. more now from cnn's kaitlan collins who is at the white house tonight. he vowed to ramp up efforts to protect voting rights. are there any more details on that? >> he said he not only wants to ramp up efforts to protect them to get more people to vote, anderson, he also wants to push back on these efforts to suppress voting rights and to restrict them, as we've seen play out in several states following the 2020 election. and president biden said part of that involves putting the vice president in charge of getting the push on capitol hill to get the major legislation on election laws and voting rights passed through congress. but of course, anderson, that

is going to be a very tough job given they've basically languished after passing the house because now they're up against a divided senate, and they don't even have all of the democrats on board, something that the president did allude to today. >> i hear all of the folks on tv say why doesn't biden get it done. well because biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the house and a tie in the senate with two members of the senate who vote more with my republican friends. but we are not giving up. >> now that comment there at the end, that was directed at senator sinema and senator joe manchin, of course. the two moderate democrats. it is not true they vote more with republicans than democrats but they are not always a guaranteed democratic vote and we've seen senator manchin say he does not support that one bill on capitol hill. that's the one that would really change the way you see election law. he was basically acknowledging just how tough it's going to be

and how tough the job is going to be for vice president. >> what are the next steps? i mean, you know, are there plans that the white house has? >> i think the next step really depends on what lawmakers do. because you have seen senator schumer say he is going to bring that election law bill to the floor in a matter of weeks. that's going to increase pressure on a lot of these lawmakers. so the question is not just are you going to get these democrats on board. you also still need to get ten senate republicans to vote for this, anderson. and right now they do not have this. the question is do they go another route? do they introduce a new legislation that would actually get republican support and get the democrats on board, keep the democrats on board, or do they explore abolishing the filibuster? that is something you've seen several texas democrats call on them to look at because they say it's just so important to get something like this passed through congress, because otherwise we're going to continue facing these efforts in all of these states, seeing these election laws be

introduced by republicans and potentially even passed. >> kaitlan collins, appreciate it, joining us from the white house. joining us now senator amy klobuchar, good to see you. the president is calling efforts to restrict voting an unprecedented assault on our democracy. is that how you see it? >> i do. and i chair the rules committee in the senate. i had to listen to the arguments made by republican senators, including that putting some basic federal minimum standards in place so that people can vote safely how they choose, whether it is vote by mail or voting early. they opposed that and claimed it would create chaos. chaos is people standing in the garbage bags and homemade masks in milwaukee just waiting to vote. or chaos is one voting drop-off box in the middle of harris county, texas, with over five million people. chaos is what you saw in georgia when the former president, or as you call him the man from mar-a-lago. when the former president went

after election officials, democrats, republicans, you name it, and put them at personal risk. that is chaos. that is why you see growing public support for the for the people act, including for the provisions on money and dark money and getting it out of the politics, and including on the ethics reform, that's the third pillar of the bill. >> i mean all of the talk about drop boxes and limiting drop boxes. is there any evidence that you have seen that drop boxes pose a great risk for voter fraud? >> no. this is just another example. to quote robin warnock who in his moving maiden floor speech in the senate said this is just about one simple thing. it's some people don't want some people to vote. and most parties, when they lose a major election, they change their policies. they figure out how they can reach out to voters better. they change their candidate. what these guys are doing right now is they're trying to change the voters. they're saying hey, we didn't

like when eight million more people voted federally. we want to make it harder to vote. we are going to roll back some of the provisions that you didn't have to get a notary and have them sign it through the window of a hospital room when you had covid just to be able to cast your vote. those are the kinds of arguments that i dealt with on the committee. we got the tied vote that we needed. i know it sounds like a small thing, anderson, but it allows the procedure to take place where senator schumer can ultimately get the bill to the floor, where i will be advocating and i will be leading the effort along with senator merkley to get this done. >> you heard president biden taking a poke at your democratic colleagues, presumably senators manchin and sinema acknowledging the unlikelihood of getting voting rights legislation passed as long as the filibuster is in place. do you believe the filibuster should be abolished? and if not, how can democrats get stuff done? >> i believe it should be abolished. it should be abolished because it is an archaic procedure put in place many, many years ago,

used to try to stop civil rights legislation being used again. being used last week to stop the january 6th commission. where we could have done a thorough review that we need to do to look at the insurrection. i guess these guys are into an endless insurrection at this point, and that is why we need to change the rules. i will note that senator manchin signalled a willingness to look at a standing filibuster that would be different and force our colleagues not to hide behind their desks but getting out there and have to speak day after day if they want to stop this bill in its tracks. we also have a number of reforms to give secretary of states both democrat and republican that they asked me to do in the bill. i put together this big managers package that basically responded to a lot of concerns from west virginia, but the republicans voted it down.

and joe manchin is very well aware of the work we have done to try to and what we could do to make changes to the bill. so i would stay tuned. once we get it to the floor it will be a jump ball, anderson. and we need to get this done. >> what do you hope is the next step, or is there a next step on the idea of some sort of a commission looking into the insurrection? >> that was one of the saddest days, the fact that we had i think six republicans vote with us to move that along. and there are many ways and speaker pelosi has outlined these, the president could appoint a commission and you could also have a number of committees deal with it or they could have a select commission. i am open to all of the ideas at this point and opening to revisiting the 9/11. stay tuned. next week senator peters, senator portman and blunt and i

are putting out our report. it's not a substitute for a 9/11-style commission about january 6, but it has very pointed recommendations and changes that need to be made. the capitol police board, changes that we have to make legally so that it never happens again. there were two very long public hearings on this where democrats and republicans got a chance to ask questions, and we also questioned witnesses in the last few months. i will be coming out with that but it is no substitute for a 9/11 style commission. >> finally, i spoke to your democratic colleague in the house about these comments by lieutenant general michael flynn, the former national security adviser, retired three-star general. she called it sedition. do you think it is? >> i can see why she did. he basically is advocating a military coup. he said oh, that could happen here. i would note the man from

mar-a-lago, my new phrase that i learned from you, has basically pardoned general flynn. he gave him a pardon of all of his offenses. now you have him out there engaged in what i call an endless insurrection. he continuing to question our democracy, to question the pillars of our democracy. and all of the questions we've talked about today, anderson, the failure to do a 9/11 style commission on january 6, the failure to be willing to do something that's always been bipartisan, which is reforms to our elections to make them work better. the endorsement basically of a military coup. this is what is so scary about our democracy right now. i just refuse to believe that we are going to allow an archaic senate provision called the filibuster get in the way of standing up for our democracy. like joe biden said today, this is an assault on the democracy. we must respond. i don't think it is just democrats.

i think it is republicans and independents and i will end with this on this. trevor potter, the former chair of the federal election commission under george bush is a fervently strong supporter of the for the people act and testified for me on the bill at our hearing because he believes that the dark money from the outside, and what is going on with the voting rights, at some point we stand up for democracy. that is what matters the most. >> senator klobuchar, thank you. >> thanks, anderson. it was great to be on. >> coming up next, given what we have been discussing two members of the political team look closer at what can be done to protect democracy. when not everyone seems to feel the same urgency. and later, what michael flynn's apparent endorsement of a military coup says. to his former commanding officer, who will be joining us.

limu emu... and doug. so then i said to him, you oughta customize your car insurance with liberty mutual, so you only pay for what you need. oh um, doug can we talk about something other than work, it's the weekend. yeah, yeah. [ squawk ] hot dog or... chicken? [ squawk ] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon.

and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... sh. before, they would've heard me taking the car. to know how far we have to go. before, i didn't have an app that showed me but it's only human... when she was taking the car. before, the chance of an suv handling more like a hot hatch? uh, none. he won't know a world before electric. before it can change the world, it has to change yours. the all-new, all electric volkswagen id.4. for dreamers, temporary protected status holders, and essential workers like farm workers, america is home.

in our toughest times, immigrants have helped keep al of us fed, healthy, and safe. now a majority of republican, democrats, and independents support a pathway to citizenship -- over 70% of all americans. immigrants have done so much for america during this pandemic and throughout our history. our country supports immigration reform. we should act.

we're talking about what

president biden called the threat to democracy manifested in republican resistance to investigating the most recent assault on it and efforts to pass restrictive voting laws. today in tulsa, president biden praised the get out the vote effort in 2020 while also saying it won't be enough this time. >> we overcame. but today let me be unequivocal. i have been engaged in this work my whole career and we are ramping up efforts to overcome again. i will have more to say about this at a later date, a truly unprecedented assault on our democracy. an effort to replace nonpartisan election administrators, and to intimidate those charged with tallying and reporting the election results. but for today, as for the act of voting itself, i urge voting rights groups in this country to begin to redouble their efforts now to register and educate voters. >> joining us senior political commenter host of the "x files"

david axelrod. also cnn correspondent abbey phillip. abbey, you were there for today's remarks by the president seeming to take a swipe at senator joe manchin. did it surprise you? clearly he needs him on his side. >> yeah, it is a little bit surprising for joe biden to do that because he typically doesn't like to alienate people who he might need for future negotiations. he likes to rely on these relationships that he's had for a long time, especially the relationship he's had with joe manchin. but it signals some frustration, not just on biden's part but on the part of the white house and democrats at large with manchin in particular. and seeing that manchin has a realization that republicans are not necessarily willing to come to the table even on reasonable things, and yet there is no movement on the senator's part

to change his approach to legislation. i think that is what biden was reflecting today in the speech. the question is what now. it's not clear to me that the white house is going to dramatically change their strategy on legislation that does not involve their infrastructure proposal, which still remains a top priority for them, even after his remarks today on voting and on the january 6 commission, among other things. >> yeah, david, what's your take on his remarks? >> yeah, i was surprised by it, and i wondered whether it was worded precisely the way he wanted it, because clearly sinema and manchin don't vote more with republicans than democrats. they certainly vote more with republicans than many democrats vote with republicans, but he does need them. this is something lost in the discussion often. which is people say why do they negotiate with republicans? why don't they just go it alone.

you can't go it alone unless you have 50 votes, and manchin and sinema are not on board on many of these key things that biden cares about. and so he is about the business of trying to particularly on infrastructure, cut a deal by brand and by belief, i think he wants to do that. but he also wants to demonstrate to senator manchin that he made a good-faith effort to do that so that he can go back to him and say now what do we do? how do we get things done? but it is a very, very difficult situation. i experienced it in the white house. just because someone has a d next to the name does not mean you automatically have their vote and it does require negotiation with your own team. >> much was made of senator manchin calling republican senators unconsciousable for failing to pass the january 6th commission. it doesn't seem to have edged him more towards abolishing the filibuster, though.

>> no, it really doesn't seem to have changed his overall approach. in fact, he seems just as committed now to this idea that bipartisanship is possible as he was before. but bipartisanship in some form might be possible. the problem is, is it going to be ten votes? because that's actually what they need to overcome the filibuster. if it's not ten votes, is there a point at which manchin is willing to say we got three or four. that's good enough for me, let's move this forward. i think it's not clear whether he is at that point yet. that is deeply frustrating to a lot of democrats because everything is being held up here. if the january 6th commission is important to joe manchin, i think a lot of democrats say the issues of voting which are deeply intertwined with the january 6th insurrection should also be just as important to him. >> david, barring abolishing the filibuster do democrats have any other options?

>> certainly on issues like this voting rights bill they do not. because they're not going to get ten republicans to go along with them on really the infrastructure bill is the best chance that they have. i think abbey is right. i think at a minimum, what biden wants to do is demonstrate to manchin that a good-faith effort was made and they're not there. but i think i was interested in amy klobuchar's comments a few minutes earlier saying that manchin has indicated he might support reforms of the filibuster that will make filibustering legislation harder. and there has been talk bouncing around over the last few months about whether there might be a specific carve-out for voting legislation as there is for judges and maybe that will be an avenue. but right now it is a tough road forward. >> david axelrod, abbey phillip,

thanks very much. coming up, what to make of the remarks by retired general michael flynn. seeming to call for a military coup in the coming months. do they qualify as sedition? that is next when we continue. it would be cool to ride a horse on the moon. to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... to know how far we have to go.

the comments by retired lieutenant general michael flynn appearing to endorse a military coup in this country are still resonating tonight.

he was speaking at a conference in dallas. he was responding to a question from the audience. here they are again. >> i want to know why what happened in myanmar can't happen here. >> no reason. i mean it should happen. no reason. that's right. >> no reason. i mean it should happen here. no reason he said. later, after his remarks were roundly criticized, he claimed his words had been twisted. posting on the social website par lar, saying let me be clear. there is no reason whatsoever for any coup in america and i do not and have not called for any action of that sort. he said he did not say there is no reason a myanmar style coup shouldn't happen here. i'll let you listen to it one more time. you can make up your own mind. >> i want to know why what happened in myanmar can't happen here. >> no reason. i mean it should happen. no reason. that's right.

>> so, you can make up your own mind. if he did say it, it wouldn't be the first time the former president's national security adviser has publicly discussed military action in the united states because the election didn't turn out in favor of the former president. here's what he said to the conservative news outlet newsmax about martial law being imposed. >> he could order the swing states if he wanted to, he could take military capabilities and place them in the states and basically rerun an election in each of those states. it's not unprecedented. >> well, it is. according to "the washington post" fact-checker, martial law has been imposed 68 times during the nation's history and notably after the civil war and never under the circumstances flynn argued on newsmax. i want to get perspective now from retired major and a former

advocate general in the air force and former federal prosecutor. katie, i hope i did not maul your last name. did i get it right? >> you didn't. you did a good job. >> okay, thank you. let me start with you, katie. is this sedition? we talked to a member of congress who thought it might be. or would be. >> sure. well, under the ucmj, the military penal code, there is a crime of sedition. but in this case, you have to be careful about taking appalling conduct and wondering if it's really criminal. you have to look at the actual law. i think here that comment in isolation is going to be difficult to charge if you can get there in a military court-martial. you have someone that made this comment and has a history including a criminal history that borders on this sort of idea. so i think it would be a difficult case to prove in a vacuum with the comment that we're talking about, but it's not impossible.

>> general marks, you were general flynn's commanding officer at one point. you told "the new yorker" when he was under your command he was smart, humble and funny. do you recognize the michael flynn of today? i mean, everybody i talked to who knew him in iraq and elsewhere said he was a remarkable officer. >> he was a remarkable officer. this form of mike flynn i do not recognize. it's more than just embarrassing. i would say mike enjoyed this incredible reputation in uniform. i was an incredible fan. i was blessed to serve with mike. even though he was a subordinate. we were better because of him. but this is more than embarrassing. this is taking a great reputation and it's more than tarnishing that reputation. it's really cratering that reputation. i'm disheartened by all of this, and i'm glad we've got kate here to answer the question about sedition. i have no clue whether ucmj

applies to a retired general officer. it just -- when you take the oath of your commissioning, you know, we swear to uphold the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. and in my view of, that that's not some ephemeral kind of an adherence. it's part of our core. we take that forever. i do not think that you just embrace it when you are in uniform. when you're out of uniform, you certainly can speak freely. there are certain guard rails that you need to be conscious of. the military is an incredibly powerful organization. you learn the incredible skills. you also have to check yourself. that is what is good about being a senior officer and the type of training that we get. >> katie, who would make the decision on whether charges would or could be filed against general flynn or any other kind of punishment? >> sure. it's a bit complicated because he is retired. you can technically bring a retired military member to a

court-martial if they are recalled typically by at least the secretary of the army, if not higher. in the military, as many people know, the command chain is actually the decision-maker for any prosecutorial decisions. it's not the military prosecutors. so the command chain all the way up through the secretary and potentially beyond could be or would be the ones making that decision, but there is a lot of factors there because he is retired. there is currently active litigation regarding the constitutionality of court-martialing retirees in a military court-martial. but that's not to say there is any sort of accountability, because he can be prosecuted by the feds. he can be prosecuted by a state entity, just because he is a military retiree, that's not only the option. but it does pose, it does bring other potential consequences that a civilian court system could not impose on him, including potentially taking his retirement, to say the least. so certainly there is a lot of factors there. but to the extent that the military does criminalize

sedition, military members still have free speech rights to some extent, even though they're more limited than other citizens. you have to look at the line between a thought or an idea of something and taking any sort of action. with sedition you have to show there is some sort of revolt or disturbance that's created and not just that there may be or could be. if there is more evidence that is out there, if there is other planning, if there is other ideas, if there is something more than just this comment which he's walked back on immediately, that may change the landscape immediately. >> general marks, i remember speaking to you -- go ahead, general. >> i was going to pile on to what kate said, which is absolutely spot on. we know there is a difference between being legally right and long and executing good judgment. this is an example of an incredibly gifted guy exercising very poor judgment. and it may be totally legal, but it's totally dumb ass. it shouldn't happen. excuse me. >> general marks, i appreciate

it. katie, i appreciate it. really a pleasure to have you on. coming up, more on president biden's statements in tulsa. more on that on hiding history from future generations. and a fresh update on an experiment from more than a decade ago about the effects of bias on children.

[ring] [ring ring] [ring] oh no... i thought i just ordered tacos. nope! sushi... ramen... burgers... tandoori chicken... some milk from the store, and... ...and, let me guess. cookies? wha, me hungry! yeah. here, i'll call some friends to help us eat. yeah, that good idea. yeah. get more from your neighborhood. doordash. hey yo, grover! you like ramen?

my cholesterol is borderline. i can worry about it, or do something about it. doordash.

garlique helps maintain healthy cholesterol naturally, and it's odor-free, and pharmacist recommended. garlique part of president biden's message today on the centennial of the tulsa race massacre is to show how people in power recently chose to ignore it, and about the message that sends to future generations. >> for much too long, the history of what took place here was told in silence. cloaked in darkness. but just because history is silent it does not mean that it did not take place. while darkness can hide much, it erases nothing. it erases nothing. >> the president later said that is what great nations do, come to terms with their dark sides, and we are a great nation. coming to terms includes

understanding how they pass on racial bias to even young children. back in 2010 before the black lives matter movement and deaths of george floyd and eric gardner and trayvon martin and so many others who were known, we began to study the effects of racial bias on kids, working with a renowned child psychologist, we recreated and updated the famous doll test from the 1940s that used black and white dolls to ask kids about differences in race. instead of using dolls, the folks used the identical drawings of children with different shades of skin color and asked questions like can you show me the smart child, the mean child, the child who has the skin color that most adults like. it shows that children as young as 5 years old were already internalizing and mirroring subtle messages about race they were getting from their friends and from their families and the world at large. take a look. >> reporter: 5-year-old brielle was part of our study in 2010.

why do you want that skin color? >> because it is lighter than this kind. because this looks a lot like that one. >> uh-huh. >> and i just don't like the way that brown looks because i mean brown looks really messy for some reason, but i don't know what reason. that is all. >> reporter: you think it looks nasty? >> not really but sometimes. >> sometimes. and brielle, they asked what color adults don't like. do you remember what you said? which one? that's right. why do you think adults don't like that color? >> dark. >> dark. and adults -- you think adults don't like dark? >> maybe some adults do but maybe some of them don't. >> reporter: and this is brielle

today, 11 years later. ♪ she loves music. sometimes she turns her feelings into songs. i spoke to her online. brielle, it's so nice to see you again. i feel incredibly old, and you look incredibly young and amazing. so how old are you now? >> i am 16 now, yep. >> i just want to start by showing you some of what you said to me so many years ago about the test that you took. >> which one? that's right. why don't you think adults like that color? >> dark. >> dark. you think adults don't like dark? >> maybe some adults do, but maybe some of them don't. >> what do you think hearing that now? >> for me, i was kind of reflecting my thoughts of what i

felt was projected on to me, if that makes sense. so how i felt the world saw me. >> those were the messages you had been getting from the world around you? >> yes. exactly. >> those are pretty tough messages for a 5-year-old to have received. >> so if it was me, imagine how many other 5-year-olds are, you know, receiving the same message. >> if you had a 5-year-old daughter one day and she said that to some reporter who came and asked her those same questions, what would you want to tell your daughter then? >> i think that i would just want her to know that it doesn't really matter what society assigns to you as long as you know. what lies within.

she would just need to know that the people who matter know who she is and the people who matter love her, and the people who matter are not those people. >> and she is beautiful. >> yes. she is amazing. >> doing a great job so far >> reporter: in 2012 we conducted another study about children's attitudes on race including kids as early as 13. >> take that seat there. >> like jimmy. different than the subtle messages that brielle described, jimmy's experiences were far more overt. >> yeah, like this morning it was saying racist jokes. >> okay. and what were some of the jokes? >> how do you get a black person down from the tree. yeah. you cut the rope. that one. i didn't find that very funny. i didn't find none of them funny. >> reporter: this is jimmy today. he moved to los angeles after high school to pursue a career in dancing. >> i think about that time in particular from 2012 until now.

i knew that racism existed. i knew racism was a i think in the '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s, so on and so forth. but as a kid, racism existed, like it was not still, you know, relevant. >> jimmy says that he grew up with friends of all different races. despite some negative experience, he says supportive friends, teachers and family protected him from feeling the impact of racism. but now he says the killing of george floyd by a police officer last year -- >> say his name. >> george floyd! >> and the movement that grew out of it led him to a painful awakening about race in america and his own vulnerability. >> black lives matter! >> it said that i feel like i have to drive my car in fear of being pulled over because my life is on the line.

that's the reality that we're living right now, the reality of what it means to have my skin color is you can get pulled over for mo reason and get shot. >> reporter: for brielle, that's a lesson she says she learned as a little girl soon after we met 11 years ago. when did you first realize the difference in experiences with police that many people of color have compared to other races? >> early, honestly. i mean having a black father, i have definitely had experiences like that where i will be in the back seat and i have to see him, you know, go about things wisely because situations like that obviously are life and death. couldn't have been too long after the interview that i remember my first experience with my dad being pulled over and being in the back seat. >> say his name.
