and i am running behind her, grandma alice, grandma alice! what are you doing here? and she was attending something, some program. but from that, what she taught me was that you have to be consistent and have to be motivated, but you have to get involved in your community. i think as a young student, that taught me that you have to go back into the community and have to leave something, and that is what my grandmother taught me. i believe everybody has a voice. my job is to teach you to use it. to give you the skill to use it and to get your points across. so, my grandmother was very instrumental in that. but as a student at howard, and this is another thing, getting back to community involvement, we started a chapter of sigma delta chi, a society of professional journalists at the collegiate level, my grandmother was instrumental in that and very supportive. it meant the world to me -- she lady and she was helping us. and then the other thing that was significant and interesting for me was, a lot of the had were herat i colleagues. so i learned very quickly, just in

now back to "the alice johnson is story."ef in god helped alice persevere and encouraged her to campaign for freedom. her video plea went viral on social media and caught the attention of kim kardashian west. kardashian then turned to senior presidential adviser jared kushner for guidance. together with the president, they would pave the way for her release. how did you find out, it's kim kardashian? >> well, i don't know kim, but i'd seen kris jenner before on a show, and i just knew it was kris jenner, i was so happy, i was singing. oh, kris jenner is going to help me. and my daughter asked me, she said, what if it's kim kardashian? i said, kim who? [laughter] ainsley: you didn't know who she was? >> i didn't know. i said, who is kim kardashian? and my daughter went on to explain to me who kim was. i started getting magazines, and i'm looking at her pictures, and i'm reading about her, and, i mean, this was all in this day, another day, two days passed, and sean told me it was kim kardashian. ainsley: did you ever talk to i

s fight, alice?> i'm sure it's different when you're looking at these situations from the oval office than in your home in new york city. you cannot deny what we are seeing in the pictures and images and stories of the people that are sick and hurting and being injured and need food. from a humanitarian standpoint, the president realizes they do need the help. from a purely simple restoring democracy to the country is of utmost importance. >> there are sick, hungry and people in pain around the world. the secretary of the state told fox news this weeks that military options are on still on the table, and that's something the standpoint could use. why? this seems directly contradictory to what the president pitched that the u.s. would not do something exactly like what they're considering, even if it's on the periphery of the considerations in venezuela. >> well, victor, like a lot of other conflicts throughout the world. w.h.o. diplomatic optioning don't work and conversations don't work, then you ha

amy: talk about how you got involved with jane. >> well, it is great that alice is here because alices the reason i got involved with jane. i had moved back to chicago. i had gone to school there and moved back to new york where i am from. i moved back to chicago in 1971. shortly thereafter, my dear friend from college alice found out she was pregnant. do you want her to tell her story? >> at that time, there was no me remaining pregnant. i was in a new relationship and abortion was already legal in new york, so i knew i had enough knowledge to know that was an option for me. it was clearly not a decision i had trouble making that i needed to have an abortion at that time. i was fresh out of college myself. not surengly, and i'm i remember my thinking around that time, he did not really occurred to me to come to nenew york. i really was in an independent state of mind and felt i could take care of my own life and saw pregnant?t, google call jane." immediately i felt confident and from that initial interaction over the telephone -- amy: what did you say? >> i think it was a message. th

she became a member of team alice, too.nicated my case to her husband jared kushner, who also got on team alice. so they all were on a mission, a rescue mission for me.y >> jason: god bless you.esou >> thank you. >> jason: wish you the best in your life. we thank you for joining us tonight. good luck with the book. i look forward to reading it. >> thank you. thank you, jason. >> jason: next, a major update in the jussie smollett case. plus, harvey weinstein may owe millions of dollars to his victims. we'll be right back. ♪ >> jason: welcome back to ♪f >> jason: welcome back to this special edition of "hannity." "justice and liberty." i'm jason chaffetz in for sean. many perceive there to be a two-tiered justice system in this country. one for the rich and famous and one for everyone else. but tonight the tide seems to turn on the elites who tend to get a pass. fox news correspondent trace gallagher is joining us lives. with the latest on the jussie smollett saga and the ongoing legal hurdles facing thehe disgraced hollywood

>> i hope alice is right. follows what she just said should happen. but it's very doubtful that it will. we have seen that these visits by trump, these state visits really are nothing except for pomp and circumstance and photo ops and ways to inflate this president's ego. sadly. but that has been the case with most state visits in the past. we have seen that a lot of the hard core negotiation that happens, that alice said should happen between the president and the head of state that he's going to visit normally happens at the lower levels, and frankly, when there are announcements about those lower level meetings, a lot of times, the president just comes out and publicly degrades what had been decided. so i think that this visit right now at least is nothing but a way for trump to, number one, inflate his own ego because what we have seen from the prime minister of japan is that he has trump's number on this. he knows how to get things out of trump and how do you do that, by inflating his ego, by doing things

in june, i commuted alice's sentence.hen i saw alice's beautiful family, greet her at the prison gates, hugs, crying, laughing, i nuve i did something right. >> that was president trump at the "state of the union" address to tell the inspiring story of alice johnson who wrote a piece for foxnews.com titled, "i was sentenced to life in prison. here is why i never lost hope." she served 20 years in prison on drug-related charges until the sentence was commuted by the president in june of 2018. compare it to the prison time served for the american tall ban, john walker lindh who was recently released on probation after serving only 17 years of a 20-year sentence. it shows there is a double standard in the meaning of justice sometime in this country. but things are changing now. thanks to president trump. and in this particular case, kim kardashian west advocacy. and brave people like alice marie johnson who joins us tonight. her new book "after life: my journey from incarceration to freedom" was released this week. i look fo

and so after getting to know and developing trust between annn ad alice over a month, alice agreed to come inside. we got alice inside, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer that was stage 4 because she hadn't gotten medical treatment. she died about a month later. right? what worked with alice wasn't the conservatorship. what worked is someone taking the time to care about alice, taking the time to get to know alice, and taking the time to understand what makes alice tick and convince her to come inside. that was a huge learning experience to me about people who are very, very, very, ill like the people we're talking about here which are a relatively small number of people. that worked. now i want to tell a story of another individual. this was actually told to me by a social worker at st. mary's who works with conserved individuals. this individual was someone that everyone knew, spent time on van ness from pacific heights to the chinatown area. he's a melt user. he's someone who drove everyone crazy. you will a the neighbors complained about him constantly. there was a twitter f

alice -- alice riveland was my dear friend. i met her here in d.c. she was already famous for her classic book. she was funny, warm, generous and welcoming. she wanted all of us newcomers to love her adopted city as much as she did. when i returned to washington to join the clinton cabinet, alice, along with her friend, meg greenfield, and the post publisher catherine graham formed the smart women's club. they invited me to join them in hilarious dinners with interesting guests, a high point in my career. one of my fondest memories of alice took place on the day in the 1980's when i was still in new york. she called me and asked if i could take a month off to go to cashmere to trek in the minimumly aias. what an adventure. the beginning of decades of trekking in some of the most interesting places on earth. . you learn a lot about people when you share a narrow ledge in a rainstorm on one of the highest mountains in the world. alice was tenacious, brave, cheerful, and the kindest, nicest person i have known. she was a legend. renowned for mentoring y

alice. i had no idea who alice was. nobody really knew this name. and shortly after you say, it's just sheer luck that happened to me. when you sit in the johnson library, the archivist desk. and if there's a call, it has to go through her. the phone rings and she says, it's for you. the hostess and reception desk in the lobby says there are two women here who would like to speak to you. would you come speak to them. i said sure. they said to me, we read the powerbroker, so we know you'll find out about alice. [laughter] and we want to tell you about her because alice wasn't another bimbo. she was really important in lyndon's life. so to find out about her, she came from a little town in texas. she was a great hostess in washington. she had a grand salon. she came from this little town in the middle of nowhere. i never knew i would go to moreland and talk to her friends that she grew up with. trying to get a picture of her. and i have to say, i hope there's no one here from portland, texas. no one would ever go to moreland except for any other reaso

vernon bogdanor and alice lilley.en going on around westminster. there was a rare outbreak of cross—party consensus as a new law to ban the use of wild animals in travelling circuses cleared its first parliamentary hurdle before going on for detailed scrutiny. continuing to allow wild animals to perform often absurd and unnecessary behaviours for our amusement in travelling circuses goes against this government's efforts and this house's interest to raise awareness and respect for animals. circuses are no place for wild animals. this is a view not only shared by animal welfare organisations and animal lovers, but by the vast majority of people across the country. and, i am very glad to see, by members on both sides of this place here. electric cars are growing in popularity. in the lords, peers were keen to plug in and go green, but there were obstacles such as the lack of charging points. would it not be a good idea for parliament to give an example to the rest of the country? we have got a87 parking spaces between t

alice johnson joins me now. welcome.oo. >> even when you were in prison, you stayed massively optimistic. you had a joyful life there carrying no ill will for anyone. walk us through what the last year has been like. >> this has been one of the most amazing years of my life. i met some incredible people like you, stephanie. >> thank you. >> some people that i never thought i'd meet. the most i have been able to spend with my family. i could never get those moments back that i missed with them. but the memories that we have been making now, i can't tell you what that means to me. and the changes. it's taken place in my family. >> you're not resting, though. i know you're thinking about and working to help all the women in similar situations that you were in, but they're still in prison. in your mind, what needs to be done to our criminal justice system? those who don't know much about criminal justice reform. what do they need to know? >> you can't just rubber stamp everybody the same. people can change. there is redempti

alice, first of all, why does this matter? this session could go on forever, couldn't it?nothing to stop the government from doing that, it is perfectly within its rights to keep this session going. i think the big question, though, for parliament, is what does keeping this session going actually change? firstly, does it get us any closer towards breaking the brexit deadlock in the house of commons? and secondly the fundamental reality of this session remains, which is that the government is in minority. legislating as a minority is difficult enough. doing so when you have an issue as divisive as brexit makes it even more complicated. and already in this session, party discipline within the government has broken down even further, so it can keep the session going but those fundamental problems are still there. vernon, it is rather unusual, isn't it? parliamentary sessions are used to last a year or about that. it's completely unprecedented, i think. you've got not only the brexit deadlock but both parties deeply internally divided. so we've got the very peculiar, indeed un

alice walker's book has a special resonance here. at wellesley, each class is known by a special color. for four years the class of '90 has worn the color purple. today you meet on severance green to say goodbye to all of that, to begin a new and a very personal journey, to search for your own true colors. in the world that awaits you, beyond the shores of waban, lake waban, no one can say what your true colors will be. but this i do know, you have a first class education from a first class school. and so you need not, probably cannot, live a "paint-by-numbers" life. decisions are not irrevocable. choices do come back. and as you set off from wellesley, i hope that many of you will consider making three very special choices. the first is to believe in something larger than yourself, to get involved in some of the big ideas of our time. i chose literacy because i honestly believe that if more people could read, write, and comprehend, we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems that plague our nation and our society

alice deserves better and alice's mom deserves better too. i've said it before and i'll say it again, over and over again, health care is personal. it is not political. we should shall working across the -- we should be working across the aisle to expand access to care, improve quality, reduce costs. and we should be doing something to resolve the maternal and infant mortality crisis that is happening right now in the united states of america so that mother's day is a day of joy instead of a day of sorrow. instead we find ourselves fighting an administration that won't stop trying to take away the protections that people like alice count on, and thousands, millions across the country count on. in fact, the united states department of justice last month agreed with a federal judge in texas who said the entire affordable care act must be struck down, and that includes coverage for those with preexisting conditions. not to be outdone, the senate republicans passed a budget resolution out of committee that includes repeal of the affordable care a

they want opportunities, and there is proof in bayview and alice griffith.ght going, brother. you ain't the only brother in san francisco. you might be the only one on the board, but you've got us. you've got us. and so i'll close with the second quote by dr. dennis waitley. "there are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or to accept the responsibility for changing them." i've taken the responsibility of not accepting that, and so have the people standing behind me. i could not have done it without the village of san francisco, without the village of bayview, without th the village of true hope church. we can do this work. i thank you so much, and i'm humbled by this opportunity. thank you. [applause] [cheering] >> okay. thank you very much. as you're filing out, i will call up the next one. supervisor mandelman, would you like to go ahead and offer your accomodations. >> are paula and celia here? we're doing a string of district 8 small businesses that are having their 20th anniversary, which is fantastic. last week we had becket

alice stewart is here. max is the author of the corrosion of can conservatism. why i left the right. let me start with you and ask you what i just said in the intro. because on so many issues where the majority of americans feel one way and i mention this new banning of abortions in alabama, the latest example. we see the tariffs, on immigration, sensible gun laws. on trump himself. give us your big picture of this. >> i think the big picture is donald trump dedoes not give a dam about 60% of the country. he sees himself as being the president of red state america, can which is 40% of the country and that's who he appeals to. it's actually stunning after more than two years he's made no effort to win over anybody else which is why his poll ratings are mired around 40%. norm ala president with an economy this strong would be 50%. trump is not because everything out std the economy is alienating a huge portion of the currentry. and some of the examples with tariffs, who's actual hurting his own supporters but it doesn't seem to matter. the great put a reotic farme

>> i've got to get -- alice, last word. and i'm really over time here.ut i want to give you the last word. >> just if i can just say hate speech and divisive language didn't start with donald trump and unfortunately it's not going to end with donald trump. has he done and said some things that have added to hateful language? absolutely. but i think more than anything this is an important conversation to have, an important conversation to continue, and i would like to think that moving forward, especially in a presidential campaign cycle we can continue to call attention to hateful language and hopefully clean things up and make this election a lot more positive than 2016. i'm going to be cautiously optimistic. >> before i go, chris, just a one-word answer. do you think that's going to happen? >> no. thanks for having me, don. >> listen, alice, i don't disagree with you. we should have the conversation. but we have to have these conversations with honesty. and we have to come to an agreement about what is truth and what is fiction and what people's motiva

and unlike alice in carol's alice in wonderland this is not a jury. r.t. . or the for you. go back to france for joining us now to get a bit more insight is for a politician who. feeds. well to specifically. talk about the broader europe what do you make of the numbers so far was the biggest surprise for you. what we know so far about how the people of. well i will say that of course the big surprise is that the green party is going up very very broadly but it doesn't mean that it is enough to save the so-called system and of course we see that many skeptical parties are one day election throughout europe and i think that we are facing a new a proxy for a new era for europe but i don't see how they will solve the problems of europe because as we were are saying the union is split and it will be very very difficult to find a compromise between partly between lead to ideological very opposite but i do believe that this europe the present europe is dead it is a truth but it will last at least 10 years to find a new way because we need call variation in europe but we don't need

and unlike alice in carroll's alice in wonderland this is not. r.t. . for a first resort to prove first. universe to the u.k. . looking at one of the biggest surprises of the world depends where you look at it from really in the u.k. maybe no great surprise with the party storming the parliament with what's been described as a hefty win wells's voter sentiment in the u.k. . highly polarized good morning everybody but like yeah. very well they got thirty one point six percent of the vote. i guess you would they came first less be clear about that not only learn what was it run the rest of britain. where they seem to appeal when you look look how close that vote was hoping so here we are yet to look at how close fabrics a vote was is nearly split down the middle why this fall now towards farraj in a new party. well because i think many people were fed up with the math of the last two or three years and especially those who want to leave the european gloom. was very disappointed with the conservative labor floundering around in never neverland and quite cl

and unlike alice in carol's alice in wonderland this is not a jury charge edwards dashti r.t. . meantime them with pm series of. june the servant thought of failing to get a plan through so far the counters to replace or is already up and running conservative m.p.'s are to nominate two or walk around that is with about ten so far declaring that they're going to join the leadership race the tories believe a new leader will be in place by the end of june it means to resume a will therefore still be in office during both the contest and also donald trump's first official state visit to the u.k. next month let's look at some of the front runners for the bit more detail for number ten than. the road. is. here so i think the comparison with the market. is right if you get near one. of them a lot but that. was the soviet union to stop people leaving and the lesson from history is clear if you turn the club into a prison the desire to get out of it well diminish it will grow and we won't be the only prisoner that will want to escape. russia today. the truth is relative to the facts from

and unlike alice in carol's alice in wonderland this is not a jury charge edwards dashti oxy london may be more of a dividing line on the people of the city opposed. to university in the u.k. . for his take on the election result saying that mark thinks utah looking at what is probably one of the biggest surprises of the ballot as we just heard our correspondents say the party's storming the e.u. parliament with a hefty win. britain pretty much divided doesn't it. yes i mean this is at many ways most unusual and interesting election in itself than modern science but the seeds of what happened to be a great deal of changing and entirely new policy bursting to the forefront but if you look at it at least the figures if you look at the voting tallies for those in favor of leaving and those in favor of remaining within the e.u. then it's a safe it shows before that the country is divided it's perhaps the division is a slightly different people may change sides but it's ended up in this in that last again on this key issue in england in saying that most of london was agreement it was it was

and unlike alice in carroll's alice in wonderland this is not a jury charge edwards dashti r.t. london. the european commission for social media influences has left some of the invited outrageous they likened the experience to brainwashing with clearly dismissive of the approach to this rhythm and in the i have the impression that i was in the novel 94 and people are convinced that this is good they are convinced that they are acting in the interest of the citizens of the european union. while the main objectives of the event at the h.q. was apparently to convince the bloggers to promote positive stories about the block . we're waiting for you to speak more about europe on your own we hope to convince you to inject the european angle into your communications because this is an important aspect of political life and we are not sufficiently present in the media . explain to us that misinformation is the use of real facts to spread political ideas that contradict those of the european union they will said that all this is organized by russia to destabilise democratic regimes but fo

thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> alice? >> hi. thank you, commissioners. i'm alice light. our mission is to nurture familis from pregnancy to early childhood and while i stand here today seeking legacy status for being here for 31 years, our mission feels very immediate and new every day because there are always new families and new babies, including one right here. [laughter] to nurture and support. so the work that we're doing is every bit as important today as it was 31 years ago when we first started and it will continue to be important 10 years, 20 years, 30 years into the future, as long as san francisco keeps having families, which hopefully will be for a long, long time. so at natural resources, we've served many tens of thousands of families over the past 30 years. just last year, we served 2500 new families and of those 1200 took classes in things like childbirth preparation, c.p.r., new parents and lactation support groups and more. so, we really work on improving outcomes for families and parents. and we have seven employees and over 50 educators. so in additio
