morning, as you see in that bottom left picture, and got on his knee, long before we heard of colin kaepernickwas arrested with congressman charles wrangell and i fighting police brutality and never stopped fighting. that's why today at national action network, many came to honor a man whose life honored us. senator chuck schumer, who you see in that photo sitting on the left, the mayor of new york, bill de blasio. former governor david paterson, and many others came because david dinkins was not just a symbolic first black mayor. he brought crime down, unlike some report. when he came in, crime was on the uptick. he brought it down 25%. he invested the money that revitalized times square. just like barack obama, his successor took credit for a lot of what he did. it was not giuliani that brought crime down. it was not giuliani that started rebuilding times square. it was not him that stood dealing with safe cities, safe streets. it was david norman dinkins. and because of him, we will never forget this soft-spoken but firm man who never backed down. new york is better, the country is better a

this might be the time to sign colin kaepernick.s looking for a team. >> do you think there should be a difference in how pro and college football is handled? there's not been a streamlined guidelines in a lot of places, this being just one of them. college students aren't being paid to play, of course. these athletes are. do you think there should be more streamlined guidance for these sporting events? >> i'm a huge college football fan. i'm literally coming to you from ann arbor did michigan wol wolverin wolverines. whether it's the usual wear and tear of a football team or it's in the middle of a covid-19 pandemic. i think there's an added responsibility on the part of the ncaa and all the constituent conferences to think about what those risks are and be more careful. all of these institutions have a responsibility in the broader social fabric in a home where we as a society are suffering a panel democratic that has taken over 250,000 lives. in a moment we're recognizing the impact of this in our day-to-day lives. if you are the
