martin lewis, welcome to political thinking. i'm... can i speak straightaway? you can., you can speak at any time. as a political man, i'm going to get that that very last phrase. you said what i actually said technically, and i was talking about energy bills and the poorest and i said i am virtually out of tools. that was not an accidental phrase because in the room at the same time on the sunday morning show was rishi sunak. and i looked across at him when i said it. and it was very nuanced because obviously myjob, there are many things that many people can do, but the difficulty right now is on energy bills and the poorest in society for whom there isn't much left. and it was that was that was a baton thread that was looking at the chancellor and saying, "money—saving is out. this is yourjob, mate. this is yourjob, not myjob." so that was that was not an accidental throwaway phrase. that was a deliberate, nuanced political challenge. we spoke to a former director of communications at number 10 who said martin lewis is one of the most influential people in britain. is

reverend warnock's other job title is senior pastor at ebenezer baptist church, where john lewis worshipped and where martin i got involved in something as messy as politics with the hope that i could continue to work on the issues that i've worked on anyway. >> reporter: warnock and fellow georgia democrat jon ossoff were elected to the senate last year, giving democrats 50 votes and control of the senate when joe biden became president. whether or not democrats can hold on to that majority this november will once again rest in large part on what happens in georgia. [yelling] >> reporter: where warnock faces a tough re-election fight in a race republicans hope will be defined by joe biden's low approval ratings. to escape from the gloomy national environment, warnock, like all democrats, will have to distinguish himself. it helps to have a good biography. something he is highlighting in his new memoir: "a way out of no way." >> any time you walk into a sanctuary on a sunday morning, there is a good chance that the preacher or somebody in the choir or somebody who is giving a testimony is going to say god m

lewis was 23. what he's spoken to march on washington. martin luther king. organize that . a very young age. i think what we're seeing now is in the mystery of a digital age where social media so easily at everyone's disposal, that it is a tool kit and ways that we haven't seen before. historically, to democratize information, to share resources and ultimately to build community. and i think that's what happened this past summer with the george white process. but i also think that that is really indicative of the power of community build and coalition building that we're seeing with the jonesy and millennial generations. so just to be care your seeing that off generation is not more politically active, but what we're doing is we're using digital to stood tools to organize in ways the generations before didn't have the opportunity. absolutely correct. so i mean, how would you respond to that? i agree wholeheartedly with that, i think you look just at the sheer number of protests that occurred since the ferguson uprising in 2014 and then again after the murder of george floyd and minneapolis,

all who love peace all over the world martin luther king was shot and killed tonight in memphis, tennessee, and you hear gas coming up from the crowd. no, no. john lewis said the sobriety of his tone moves through the crowd like a way with his voice close to breaking. he spoke simply and honestly and extemporaneously. he said martin luther king dedicated his life to love and justice between failure and beings. he died in the cause of that effort. and it's difficult day and it's difficult time to the united states. it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. the country can move toward greater polarization black them on black people and white people among white filled with hatred towards each other or we can make an effort as martin luther king did to comprehend to replace that violence that standard bloodshed that has spread across the land with an effort to understand with compassion and love and in the course of the speech he mentions. because it appears at a white man killed. dr. king and if you if you want to be angry with all white men that you know, that's understandable, but i lost a brother and
