the joy of movement. ♪♪ >> i'm back now with adam harris, staff writer for the atlantic, and dr., professor of african american studies at harvard university. now, we are going to continue our conversation about affirmative action, of course, especially at italy universities, but i first wanted to play a clip from my colleague in and friend, joint reading, speaking about her personal experience as a student at harvard. who benefited from affirmative action. >> let me just be clear, i got into harvard only because of affirmative action. i went to a school known had ever heard of in denver, colorado, in a small suburb. i didn't go to exeter or hand over, i didn't have colleagues test prep, i just happen to be really needed, east martin, and had good grades, and goes sats corps. but someone came to denver, colorado, to look for me. harvard recruiter flew to denver and i met up with her at the village in restaurant, and did it a pre interview to get to pull me into harvard. i was pulled in. and the schools, like, -- that i got in, affirmatively. and it was literally not saying, we ar

and we have adam harris who is also a author of the book the state many you provide where america's collegesave always been unequal and how to set them right. can't think of two better people to have on this particular topic. adam, what you get at -- pressently in your book is at the heart of this case. and you write here, if the majority dismisses what remains of the nation's experiment with affirmative action, the united states will have to face the reality that its system of higher education is and always has been separate and unique wal. and that is what they've done. they've gotten rid of affirmative action and we're left with an unequal k through 12 system and colleges that don't know what to do about it. >> exactly. right. and in america, we have had a situation that hasectively timedy black education since before the founding. 1740 was south carolina became the first state to ban teaching black students to read. after the 1800s and several enslaved folks uprising, this made it illegal to read the bible. that is how difficult the situation has been for so long. when you move into the

we've had some great ones starting with john adams and teddy roosevelt and harry truman. it's hard to think of any who has been more intensely tested than the vice president. we're to hear from. in fact, i met mr. pence only back when he was a congressman. i doubt he'd remember it. the encounter was on the sidewalk in front of the harvard club of new york. i'm not accusing just to be clear, not accusing mr. pence of having been in the harvard club. this was on the sidewalk he was with a mutual friend, as i recall it, steve forbes, which might be why when we were introduced briefly, i leaned over and said to mr. pence, did i hear? you're for the gold standard. i'm reluctant to repeat what? mr. pence replied because i hadn't informed him that i was with the newspaper. but it was substantive. several sentences, and i don't think it's a violation of ground rules to disclose that. when i got home that evening, i said to amity, i shook hands today with mike pence. he strikes me as a man to watch and he went on to be governor of indiana, of course, and history calling. one day w

harry truman, both adams. and jefferson lived a long time. were they thinking before i mean, the country thinking beforehand about, commemorating the president as they know that they're entering, you know their last days? well, i'll speak to the early ones i think one of the limitations of the first century plus of american was, of course, the limitations of technology correspondence. and so a lot of people just didn't know about the health of adams or jefferson or how they were doing other than their family or maybe close, i think in more modern times when when we hear that someone is ill or maybe if they have a health scare. so when president carter had his previous bout with cancer. there was a lot of reflection. i think that tends to trigger it and because with a lot of the earlier presidents there, that same sort of coverage you wouldn't get that. now, i will say when adams and jefferson died on the same and news trickled out about, of course, 50 years to the day of declaration of independence, the country lost its collective mind becaus

harry kane to stay at the club? he says he'll try. and lisa leads from the front again: adams is still the para athletics world champion. welcome to the program, lots to get through. but we start at wimbledon where the quarter final line up is now complete in the men and women's draws at wimbledon and carlos alcaraz remains one of the favourites to win the men's singles title. the world number one through to the last eight for the first time after beating the 2021 runner—up matteo berrettini on centre court in four sets. next up sixth seed holger rune. it is not easy. after losing the first set, i knew i was going to have my chances and stay focused. something that i am working on, to stay focused and don't lose my mind. i did great. i am really, really happy after a really great match. well defending champions novak djokovic and elena rybakina are also in to the quarters and so is the american outsider christopher eubanks who provided the big upset of the day. from the all england club, here's chetan pathak. the quarter—final lineup is complete and yet again novak djokovic is

harris. i know that's something they will have to deal with within their party. adamiff even talked about it and condemned those remarks. it was the right thing to do. but the leadership starts from the top. biden needs to get on board or we are going to be leaving our greatest ally behind. we cannot do that as the leader of the world. i think we've seen that when we've seen him go to the summits and how other countries are interacting with our president it's a great disappointment and sad to see. >> harris: yeah. i have think about the juxtaposition the two men at the top the last two presidency. the abraham accords with connection between israel and other countries like nothing before in our history. one of the few things biden has not flipped the switch on with donald trump because he knew it was the right thing to do. -- there was peace in the middle east and thank god for donald trump and jared kushner who put it together and ran with that ball. now we have leadership in question. we cannot have an empty suit president on the international stage when we have coun

. >> harris: all about him, soft on crime alvin bragg and "new york post" calling out mayor eric adamsshowing a man holding a knife among a crowd of people. look at that, circled toward the bottom. adams accuses media of fanning the flames of fear. guy walking through time square with a knife? you're imagining it. well, there is plenty of fear. new poll shows overwhelming 87% of new yorkers call crime a serious issue. 60% are worried they will be the next victim. more than half are concerned about their family's safety. put it alvin bragg, soft on crime liberal da who says he is worried about his family members taking the subway. here is more. >> hi, harris, new yorkers we talk to on daily basis say like that poll does, they don't feel safe despite the nypd saying crime stats are going down. that situation in time square is just one of many. new yorkers are buying guns, tasers and pepper spray to protect themselves. listen. if you lead off everyday with horrific incidentses that take place in the city, there is feeling you have that officers are back out there, seeing them, conversatin

. >> harris: i want to talk to you about the slippery slope that crimes are going up in other largely blue-led cities, democrats in charge there for many years. here mayor adamsays the crime of murder has gone down. when you look at the surveys, we can pop them on the screen. people aren't saying they are afraid of being crime but afraid of crime in general. hand on hand combat if you are stabbed in the subway. you are in fear of being targeted. that's the point. >> you can do a lot with this data. at the end of the day when they tell oils for example murders are down. gun violence is up. so the only thing is they aren't dying from getting shot but they are still getting shot. that creates a culture of fear. you tell me violent crime is down because arson is down. okay, i'm grateful arson is down. they are concerned with gun violence and randomly getting atact by aggressive homeless people across the country and concerned about having our homes and cars broken into. when you combine all of those crimes, the kinds of crimes that impact the vast majority of people and create this culture of fear, that's where we see the incline and that's what we're all worried

adam kinsinger speaking to the police officers who upheld our democracy. there were four officers who spoke almost two years ago, pleading, not for revenge or notoriety or fame, just asking for justice and accountability. as harry person who hired the hitman, as well. this week, we inched closer to that accountability. the target letter sent to donald trump from jack smith signaling an indictment is likely in the efforts to overturn the election. how did that news land with members of law enforcement who defended the u.s. capitol that day? well, for one, officer dunn, it's complicated. he tweeted this -- >> justice has been a very long time coming. it's been almost 1,000 days since the attack on the u.s. capitol. the light at the end of the accountability tunnel seems to shine a tad brighter with each day. a huge amount of damage has been done to our country, the ability to see truth. the republican party has dismissed the attack and whitewashed it almost completely. leading to this havy question from "the new yorker" today -- >> the search for accountability is where we begin the hour with our friend, u.s. capitol police officer harry dunn. he's the author of the book "standing my ground, a capitol police offi
