crenshaw: i can imagine with the european reaction is. he had some strong words on european domestic politics. i'm not sure i disagree with anything he said on the issues of censorship. i want to take a broader view what the trump administration's view is of european security as it pertains to ukraine because that is obviously the hottest topic at the moment. i think president trump has been very clear, he's been very clear in multiple interviews. we cannot have leverage over putin if we take things off the table. we are taking nothing off the table. we cannot have leverage over putin in a negotiation if we abandon ukraine. he was asked what does that mean? that means we don't abandon ukraine. so, there's a lot of things said, a lot of things that can be parsed out. the overall actual policy objectives of this administration, and when it is all said and done, they are not that different from the last administration. the difference is there's a clear-cut goal of achieving some kind of peace deal which i think is in our -- especially americ

spoke to two lawmakers earlier from munich, including house intelligence committee republican dan crenshaw. we asked him about president zelenskyy's views regarding what's needed in a potential peace deal. >> i understand that he has asked not just for continued military support now, but security assurances in the event of a peace deal. what can you tell him about what to expect from america? >> well, i just came from a lunch where general kellogg spoke, he is the special envoy leading this effort to establish peace, and he's very clear that the kind of peace we are talking about is a lasting peace, which of course involves security assurances. part of that process is figuring out exactly what that means. even the ukrainians are talking about what that means. there is a variety of options, per se. i think the europeans have to play a huge role in that. one of the things that gets talked about a lot is european forces actually acting as a peacekeeping force. the ukrainians clearly have a seat at the table and then the united states will be the intermediary as we try to establish a peace dea

our very own abc seven team of julian glover and zach fuentes, as well as community host taylor crenshaw. taylor gave us a peek at what people can expect. >> the black joy parade does a really good job at getting the overview feel of how it feels to be black and to celebrate blackness, but also dives into those niche areas. so we're going to have a dance battle where people win $2,000. we got a gospel choir in the house. okay, we're going to have sororities, fraternities. it's just all of these beautiful aspects of black culture put together, and i cannot wait in the food. >> too late to get in on the dance battle. >> i know it sounds epic. >> the parade kicks off sunday at 1230 at 12th street and broadway in oakland, and ends at broadway and grand avenue for the third year in a row. you can watch the parade wherever you stream. abc seven news. oh, the food is going to be great. >> we missed the dance battle, but we're in for the food. >> for sure. >> don't forget, we have much more news coming up at 530 for you, including the latest from seven. on your side investigates a bay area healt

we turn now to republican congressman dan crenshaw of texas.rves on the house select committee on intelligence, and he's a retired navy seal who served in both iraq and afghanistan. congressman, good to see you. do you agree with trump on on gaza on the u.s. taking over, and if so, how are palestinians already displaced from their homes? how are they supposed to leave? >> i think there's a lot of questions. >> on what. >> it means. >> to take over. >> there's there's a few things we know for sure. okay. so the third phase of this peace plan. nobody actually knows how it's going to get implemented. does that mean israel takes over? israelis don't want that. people live in gaza certainly don't want that. that's not really possible. i think what trump's announcement. >> did. >> again, whether. >> he intended it this way or not, what it's really done. >> is expose this massive hypocrisy in the arab. >> world, which is showing that nobody in the arab world wants. >> to take responsibility. >> they want to they want to claim. >> like they care. >> fo

and listen, i agree. >> with dan. >> crenshaw that there needs to be reform in nato.but this isn't really about that. this is about our relationship with an authoritarian government. and think about the things that trump has said. i mean, first of all, he says, of course, he says russia wants to stop the fighting. well, of course they do. they want to stop it right now and keep what they've taken. they've they've taken 20% of a sovereign territory. number two, they're saying that trump says that ukrainians may be russians someday. number three, he says russian russia fought for that land and lost a lot of soldiers. as if that's a rationale for them keeping what they took. i mean, that's just that's an astonishing thing to say. so. so, yes, you're right. for republicans like me who crossed the bridge with george w. bush and and work with john mccain, what's happening right now in terms of our relationship with russia is really quite shocking. >> but i guess to play devil's advocate here, i mean, look, the war in ukraine has been going on for now, what, three years now?

remember to bring the machine as much from their simplest quickbook wondering when we will put on the crenshaw, sorry we didn't make our last clear condemning and our summer for middle an air force academy. we did early start growing mysterious right after through focusing on that from a sort of get on sort of veteran that, that will, that we did in on the internet that i'm going to check in with the concept be surely from which yeah, those are me for them i know about that because those are assisting training you from ugly. but when the time comes to bring the pony, show me at the battle under the volumes, fulfilling his promises. not wanting to find on the us as a site. starting there was an incredibly longer 2nd period. 5th, i'm kind of right just as a new bed and though i just came from richard and jason minus interest of a desktop position, i don't know. i respect that. i'm with an in the mattress. the full body, it's rather say, is go to go with the style of the fortune 5 months that don't store right demand or some sort of let's pretend to say yes. can i stay in your store some under so

, was joined by abc seven news parade co-host reporter zach fuentes and community co-host taylor crenshaw. >> this is like a merging of my two worlds because taylor, we've done this for the last couple of years. zach, we've done oakland pride before. i get both of you same place, same time. going to be amazing. taylor, you are like the vet here. you've been doing this for so many years. the weather is going to be perfect this weekend, drew tells me. what are you most looking forward to this year? >> oh, i am looking forward to all the celebration of black culture. the black joy parade does a really good job at getting the overview feel of how it feels to be black and to celebrate blackness, but also dives into those niche areas. so we're going to have a dance battle where people win $2,000. we got a gospel choir in the house, okay, we're going to have sororities, fraternities. it's just all of these beautiful aspects of black culture put together, and i cannot wait in the food and the food. >> right. we got black vines there too. we got all types of winemakers and vintners. zach, first ti

was that crenshaw? sorry we didn't grow, ask or condemn, moving it or in our stomach now fundamental and there was good. i mean, we did at least a little more serious. but after through focusing on that from a sort of get on sort of thing that, that will, that we did in the middle. and that, that, and i'm going to show you and me to contact a ms. shelley from which you had with me for my son over cuz i was processed in training from ugly. but when the time comes to bring the pony show me at the battle under the volumes, fulfilling his promises. not wanting to find on the us us side. starting there was an incredible one, the 2nd, the prior victim, cuz i just was letting, you know, i just came from reassuring jason miners suggestively there. still positional out of there. and i missed the, the suspects horribly. whether cyrus code will go with us. spell it for us to fight you in front of my set. don't store. i demand the consent to say yes. can i stay in your store some longer, so let's cover it for no. w

crenshaw. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. crenshaw: i rise in strong support of the halt fentanyl act because it's the most obvious thing in the world to be in support of. hundreds of americans lost their lives to fentanyl. it's supposed to be used in the operating room and on the battlefield and not meant to be laced into street drugs and sold online to kids. and because of that, it's killed hundreds of thousands of americans, 75,000 deaths a year. it's the nation's biggest mass poisoning in our history. and there's a supply-side element to that. it's the mexican drug cartels. and it's also worth mentioning the counterargument to this. everyone says if we schedule this as a schedule 1 drug, then we're going to go right back to the old days of the 1980's and 1990's of mass incarceration. there's a real big problem with that argument. and it's this, this has been temporarily scheduled 1 since 2018. so i would love my colleagues for making that claim to show me the data on how this has hurt minority communities over the last se

crenshaw district. crenshaw. okay. >> okay, okay. yes, ma'am. are you local?epresent the city of wilmington. so where? there's only a few black students. actually went to my high school. but i was one of the few to attend the black college expo as an eighth grader and then continue to go on as a while. i was in high school, then my senior year, class of 2005. actually 20 years ago, i went to the black college expo, got accepted on the spot to tuskegee university, where tuskegee university changed my life. and now this. just giving back to those who need it. those students as well. i want to thank doctor teresa price for doing this for so long and changing lives like myself. you know, going 20 years ago being accepted. i'm a father of two boys now and hopefully my kids will be going to hbcus as well. >> all right. >> guys, get ready to be doctor brandi. doctor williams. >> congratulations. now, teresa, i understand that there will be about 70 universities and 70. >> representatives close to 100. and you know what? all this week we've been doing hbcu caravan. so

and it's clearly retribution, unless you ask some republicans, like congressman dan crenshaw. >> do you that the american people elected trump to get revenge on federal prosecutors? >> whether this is considered revenge or not i think is open to interpretation. >> stephen: sure! who knows if it's revenge? it's just like that movie "v for vambiguous." trump's doj isn't just firing lawyers who worked on the january 6th cases. they're also launching investigations into specific prosecutors, which they're calling a "special project." going after honest civil servants just doing their job is not a special project. it is a disgrace. a special project is when, to protect you from the bullies on the playground, instead of going to recess, you get to help miss brogden clean the erasers. that is a very special project for a very... [voice breaking] special boy. who is over it. no surprise, many doj employees are freakin' out. in fact, biden-era prosecutors are starting to hire their own lawyers for their defense. so now the lawyers are lawyering up! and soon those lawyers will need their own lawy

our very own abc seven team of julian glover and zach fuentes, as well as community host taylor crenshaw she gave us a peek at what people can expect. >> the black joy parade does a really good job at getting the overview feel of how it feels to be black and to celebrate blackness, but also dives into those niche areas. so we're going to have a dance battle where people win $2,000. we got a gospel choir in the house. okay, we're going to have sororities, fraternities. it's just all of these beautiful aspects of black culture put together, and i cannot wait in the food. >> oh, yeah, the food too. can't leave that out. abc seven is proudly live streaming the parade for a third year in a row. you can watch sunday. it starts at 1230 wherever you stream. abc seven news. >> and abc seven news is dedicated to uplifting people in our local communi, making a difference in building a better bay area. this black history month, we take you to oakland to meet joyce gordon, who has been making art more accessible to all. >> abc seven news anchor julian glover sat down with the longtime owner of her ow

i saw dan crenshaw say it quite similar on the air in the last couple of days. is that true? i mean, given his public statements now, his exclusion of ukraine from the talks and even more broadly from that, him telling europe this is your problem, right? >> yes. >> is that actually a backstop? >> you know, look, members of congress are going to have their hopes and their dreams. chairman wicker, as well, basically said he stands with ukraine. they're going to have to get that message across to the white house, because right now it's free sailing for donald trump and for this white house. we might see him meet with vladimir putin within days, and that will certainly shake things up here. but what do we getting out of this? you know, this is reminiscent to me, jim, of the afghanistan negotiations, where basically president trump cut a deal with our adversary with the taliban without having our ally, the afghan government, at the table. we gave up. we let 5000 taliban terrorists out, set the table for a destruction of afghanistan, that disastrous withdrawal, which they always wa

michelle, let's let's listen to congressman dan crenshaw, a republican, obviously, military veteran. and what his sort of conception of what trump is actually doing here. let's watch. >> look, this is this is pretty. >> typical unorthodox trump policy. >> being thrown out there. >> but it could end up exactly. >> where it should end. >> up, which is the arab world has to take responsibility for this. i think the white house is i'm trying to keep track of the white house statements, just like you are. and from what i understand, they've walked that back pretty significantly. there's not going to be anybody forced to leave. there's not going to be any u.s. troops on the ground. >> so he's talking about the arab world taking responsibility for this. and this is perhaps the big picture question, the way that trump negotiates, trying to set out a different paradigm entirely. that said, it doing it could have unintended consequences. i mean, what have we seen from the arab world in terms of how this is impacting their willingness to to deal with the the continued negotiations for the cease

this was got on okay on crenshaw boulevard in los angeles representing for kendrick because that was one of the best halftime shows i've ever seen. and it really highlights the two americas. right. there were so many subversive things. first, the a minor necklace, the pendant that was brilliant. uh, sam jackson as an uncle sam. uncle tom, if you remember his django character, and then telling them not to be so ghetto. but then kendrick saying, i'm going to do it anyway, and then the be humble song where they're doing the american flag in unison. there were so many elements that kendrick gave to, honestly, black excellence like that really felt like a black history month performance. and i think if you go back and dissect it and watch it a couple of times, you will see elements that you missed. i thought it was brilliant. it was lyrically awesome. and again, we were in the living room i was in. we were screaming you were screaming, i was screaming, i have to say, there were so many messages, like you said, that if you, you need to go back and watch it, if you are interested in what he

dan crenshaw, donald trump's congressional allies, still seeking clarity on the proposal that donaldmp has made to take over the gaza strip. the abrupt announcement on tuesday of the plan to temporarily take over and redevelop the territory, prompting confusion and condemnation among global leaders who are still readjusting to donald trump's return to the world stage. them and all of us. tuesday's events also conjuring memories of what it all looked like last time around. >> i have great confidence in my intelligence people, but i will tell you that president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. well, he's two faced. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself as far as, uh, wiretapping, i guess by, you know, this past administration, at least we have something in common. perhaps we do have a very special relationship. in fact, i'll get that little piece of dandruff off. that little piece. we have to make them perfect. >> oh, the shove. >> it's friday means michael smerconish is here to discuss cnn political commentator and of course, the host of cnn's smer

derrick bell, kimberly crenshaw have eclipsed blackstone and brandeis as avatars of legal education. that shift when, coupled with the bureaucratic growth, has led institutions to prioritize activism over inquiry seeking social justice than truth. so i'm pessimistic that anything will change at any school where freedom isn't supported or rules against heckler's vetoes takeovers of academic buildings and encampments that block student access aren't enforced. too few administrators follow the example of the late u. chicago president bob zimmer, who, in response to pressure to punish professor dorian abbott for criticizing affirmative action, reaffirmed the university's commitment to faculty freedom to disagree the university policy. too few followed the leader vanderbilt chancellor daniel dear meyer, who ejected and expelled students who had taken over his office. he's gotten national plaudits for some very basic actions. it's a low bar. wherever leaders stand up for the core mission of any academic institution, the mob disperses. but most presidents and deans are spineless cowards. th
