. >> and i would only add to that thinking about the classroom, i think this is where professor conley's point is so important, is that i find students in the classroom struggle in the same way that student in the classroom struggle to talk about race and sophisticated and informed ways. i think our students also struggle with talking about religion and sophisticated and informed ways. especially in the midst of, in this country where our students if they are inundated at all with religion, it's the loudest which is mostly the right. and i think students struggle when they haear religion they think religion right. and when you introduce them to martin king, they said this is not what i thought religious people did. so i think we are confronted with a wonderful opportunity, but to professor conley's point, we also have to be clear about giving them a language and dis course how to talk about these ideas in the classroom. >> yeah. i mean the other thing is my -- i don't know if this is truly true, but miocene sus a lot of students their engagement only perhaps engagement around religion on

let's bring in virginia democratic congressman jerry conley to talk about this.sight committee. you're on the foreign affairs committee. do you take a threat like that seriously? and if not seriously, how do you take it? >> well, i think, first of all, it's the ignorance of donald j. trump about the constitution he's swore to defend and protect. secondly, i think it shows his lack of respect for the constitution. and for the millions of americans who fall within this category. we have to remember the history of the 14th amendment. it was designed to clarify and to overturn the worst ruling in the history of the supreme court, the dred scott decision that said that we're not citizens of the united states, even though they were freed from slavery, because the fact of them being here had nothing do with being citizens. the 14th amendment clarified that saying, oh, no, anyone born in the united states say citizen, period. >> the trump administration is implementing a policy change to terminate what's called the flores agreement. this is the agreement that's been arou

my name is paul conley. i was born and raised in san francisco, and i know that san francisco has a long history of not absorbing everybody in the population. this is another attempt to ostracise members of the society. the statistics that you provided are troubling that black people are less than 6% of the population, 45% of people on parole in san francisco are black. i'm from a community of color, and it's disappearing, almost every black neighbourhood in san francisco is disappearing. if 46% of people on parole are black, there's no wonder why, we don't have a say so on a local level, we're losing your property, so much, our freedom and i would like for us to do whatever we can to make sure people from this city can remain in this city and have a voice in this city. >> my name is arian chekova. i am a resident of san francisco since 1992. i'm a public school teacher in san bruno and a parent here in the city. i am a sister of a man who served ten years under minimum sentencing guidelines. this caused our

stephen ross has donated to republicans and democrats, i don't know who has donated two more for conley but he didn't back down or shy away from this political participation and that's how you got to be a trump supporter in 2020 but you got to be willing to put the bit in your teeth and carry forward one of the greatest political movements that i know i'm proud to be a part of and i know our president is proud to lead. >> dan: what's really embarrassing about this deranged radical left, they are driving me crazy, you have this guy that donates to to democrats and republicans who clearly, presidential trump acknowledged and saw, may have some liberal leanings. so this guy gets a few minutes with the president at this fund-raiser, maybe an hour to talk to him, wouldn't you want to get that voice to the white house? this is the most counterproductive it's too good of boycott i've ever heard in my life and they've had a lot of a lot of dumb boycotts. >> yeah, it's a pretty dumb one. when you consider the fact that joaquin castro, six of those donors on the list had actually donated to the d

but there are bigger issues for conley. we agree on that separately.e agree then a full inspector general report on premeditated pfizer fraud and abuse, that is going to be a big deal impacting everybody to sign it, correct? >> yes, absolutely. that will be one of the seminal reports that really examines what the fbi did right and wrong in the russian investigation and i am hearing there is a lot more wrong than rights in it. it's going to be a difficult report on the fbi. james comey, andrew mccabe's leadership come peter strzok come a lot of issues about bias, a lot of issues about not keeping the fisa court improperly formed. >> sean: i want to know was going to be held responsible. if i lie to a court in premeditated front, i have a funny feeling there's not a lawyer in the country that is going to save my sorry from being sent to jail. i'm done guessing but i'm pessimistic. let me ask you this. we both agree on those. do you think there might be an ig report alone on leaking? i'm expecting, from what my sources are telling me, jerome, barr, and ev
