when i was in the clinton white house, our prime goal was to prevent jesse jackson or any other opponent has a similar goal. democrats have consolidated recently behind him, yes, but there's still substantial disapproval, particularly many on the far left. if marianne williamson or others appeal to that it could be damaging in a close general election, which the polls now show it to be in the fall of 2024. neil: you know to that point and i'll pursue this, lee, with you as well. to finish off a democratic point with doug. when ted kennedy challenged jimmy carter, he might have survived that, but losing the election and not blaming that on ted kennedy, but generally the challenges in the party at the white house. >> they do, i was part of the kennedy campaign and i believe, as you suggested that but for teddy kennedy's candidacy, jimmy carter would have been a much stronger candidate for reelection. neil: lee, switching to republicans, who have dealt with this, jumping ahead of the other battle that was famous for democrats, lbj, was intending for run reelection, gene mccarthy did well in

reason for him actually winning the primary like he did and that has been the case since 1980 since jesse jackson has ran for this particular time it's a wait and see. i believe he's going to run i think he already knows that he will. but as you mentioned we never know. because of his age and his cognitive ability i should say you just never known the situation. >> says he intends to run that is his intention but that is a wiggle word, right customer key could get out of that. >> is not a political statement whatsoever. this is general public saying this coming gavin newsom should he just immediately be disqualified that under his tenure that had the massive exodus of people leaving california? people do not to be in the state you run wild and wanted to run the country? obviously spent a failure at that. >> first time ever under his leadership california lost a congressional seat for a guy, real quick last five seconds rate of president biden does announces reelection bid does he keep, here's on the ticket as he traded for someone else five seconds because it works really hard to kick a person of

jesse jackson and others and one william jones taught me until you change legislation and make it law, you can't really effectively change peoples hearts.y es and i think we keep asking for policemen and others to redeem themselves. until they know there's going to be accountability and change law like i was taught, you're not going to stop this. they need to have qualified immunity off the table. police feel that nothing's going to happen to me. and if you have qualified immunity off the table, which is one of the key components of the george employed justice and policing act, policemen can be leaving the home in the morning, their wives will say you be careful because we can lose the house, we can lose the car. there's no skin in the game. so we're trying to do that is changing the law.he yes, we won some cases recently. george floyd, those people in jail tonight. it's not just gaining political pow, it's gaining change. >> i will also say something about wanting to incentivize people to be humane to each other, right? you talk about skin in the game. what's so sad about it is that

jesse jackson, who mentored me, and others. reverend william jones taught me to continue change in legislation, and to make it law that you cannot really effectively change peoples hearts. i think that we keep asking for policeman and others to redeem themselves. until they know that there is going to be accountability and change law, like i was taught. you are not going to stop this. they need to have qualified immunity off of the table. police feel that nothing is going to happen. if you had qualified immunity off the table, which is one of the key components of the george floyd justice and policing act, policemen can leave the home in the morning, and their wives say you'd be careful, we could lose the house, we could lose the car. there is no skin in the game. we are trying to do what we know will work, and that is changing the law. yes, we won some cases recently, george floyd, those cops injured are in jail tonight. mohammed arbery, those people are in jail tonight. it's not just gaining political power, it's gaining chan

remember jesse jackson and crying in chicago in the television. it was it was unbelievable that something an african-american could be president of the united states. i grew up was white was white is lucille ball yet we look at television. well, what passes for television today? there are african-american. there giant. i mean, there are all kinds of of of peoples that never were on tv. we have people like louis gates junior, who was an international star. telling the history of africa and the african diaspora across the world. yeah. so can change happen. yes. we are seeing change. we have seen change. i believe it can continue, but we must be committed and. we are going to see reactions. we're seeing across europe now, in italy, in sweden, in britain, sweden, of all places. i mean. the climate crisis is going to start moving more people's in places they had never been before. the italian new prime prime minister of italy is committed to a navy creating a naval to suppress african migration. we're going to see more of this in the world. i think you

jesse jackson, and a young, myself, reverend sharpton.en today. so, i guess, first of all, what role do you think the current civil rights leadership should be playing as it relates to everything that has happened in our community right now? we are doing this series while people are literally fighting -- >> black history is american history. these people talk about banning books, changing the curriculum, so you can't teach about slavery and black history. that will harm everyone. everybody needs to know the truth. the bible says the truth will set you free. this is no time -- to answer your question, we need the civil rights movement more in 2023 than we did in the 1960s. 63, that is when dr. king made his march on washington i have a dream speech. this marks 60 years. look how far we have. come we have come a long way, but we still have a long ways to go. >> doctor chavis, activist, humanitarian, author, you are also -- talk to us about this. how did we get all of that to the ceo and president -- >> i started running the black press when

we were comrades, jesse jackson, andy young, myself, reverend sharpton, all of us have rules to play,dership should be playing as it relates to everything that has happened in our community right now? we are doing this series. people are literally fighting to keep history from being taught. >> let me reiterate your words. black history is american history. these people talking about banning books, changing the -- you can't teach about slavery, you can't teach about black history. that's going to harm white people as well as black people. everybody needs to know the truth. the truth will set you free. this is no time. can i ask a question, we need the civil rights movement more in 2023 than we did in 1963? 63, that's when dr. king gave his march on washington i have a dream speech. this year marks 60 years. i think we have come a long way but we have a long ways to go. >> dr. chavis, activists, humanitarian, author, you are also -- how do we get from all that to the ceo and president of the national newspaper publishers association week? >> i started with writing for the black press wh

was a name by the name of john john bustamante owned the paper who was one of the funders of jesse jackson's campaign in 1984. he said responsibility was that he wanted to put stories in the mind of black people that allowed them to fly. that's all he wanted to do. he said he wanted a child to pick up the newspaper not just look at some pictures, but hear of triumph. he stories of power hears stories, beauty and have people sit at the kitchen table and begin to repeat those. i'm a preacher, dr. raphael warnock is a preacher. we tell stories. we tell stories about. this brother named jesus. and when you got the right story, it will change world. if you listen to someone else's story, you always beholden to them. it's like this. if you operate under the that someone else wrote, you will be a character in their movie. but if you write your own script. you to be the star and the hero at the same time. so let's start right our own stories. he does that, by the way in odysseus dream. if you haven't that film, you need to see it. it's a great film. this question is for both of you. this question fr

and i thought about when i was a youngster jesse jackson brought me there and described to me because this guy to death and martin luther king was in memphis in 1968 fighting for city workers. and this is what he fought for. and all of that was in me when i went to the funeral, and it just had to come out because it's not like it was a normal thing just a few years ago for blacks to we on the elite squad of the police department or to have a black woman as the police chief. and now we're going to inflict the same pain on anyone -- it count center to be on a black man unarmed -- but on anyone we didn't want to get you in for you to behave in the ways you're acting just as bad or worse. this is inexcusable. and the pain of that mother and stepfather and siblings cannot go unanswered. >> we were on together last friday i guess our show ended an hour before the tape came out, and what this young man was subjected to not just by the five others but the depraved indifference of the emergency responders, that everyone kind of pulls up and looks at his body that it's not a human being sufferi

they were both just dedicated to this history of these guys are not as and for with christina jackson plays jesse's wife and says this movie is about love, friendship and brotherhood. i know right. >> cried reading the script daisy is introduces. daisy, jesse white. his what's that mean? the son of a little bit more and a little bit more the way that her scenes are just so the way that she is so beautiful and the letters that he wrote to her just they break your heart. and so to be the one who gets the chance to be the daisies and just nothing like jd dillard is the director of the film hopes, you know, we walk away with a history lesson about jesse brown, but also >> a message to really a story about mutual understanding, you know, and >> how how difficult it really is to be there for someone in the way that they need you there for so i hope, you know, as the film and the credits roll, you that's something that you take away for his actions. brown was awarded the distinguished flying cross, the purple heart medal and the out. >> show that was good. >> can your navy man? so that means to love? yeah

what happen was al sharpton, jesse jackson and a bunch of other black leaders went to washington to havege the laws, so they talk about how the laws, they are complaining about how the laws for cocaine are lower than the census for locating cane -- cocaine them for crack. black leaders went to the lobby and they spent a lot of their time and capital, lobbying congress to change the law. now, those same people are saying that there is a problem for the law because crack, and they are saying it is a racial issue. it's not a racial issue. my final comment is simply this. if you drop a bunch of bibles in any city, people would choose to pick them up and read them. it's the same thing with drugs. just because a drug is in the community, that doesn't mean that people have to take advantage and use that drug. host: all right. another article to share with you from the new york times. this is from a headline -- the fbi found one classified document after searching mike pence's home. the former vice president agreed to the search after discussions with the justice department. anthony is in detroi
