it's faith on the fact i would get to play dr. kingntually that meant i would start with that project for seven years. it's faith in this narrative, the united kingdom that we got it done in six years. and faith i do think is a more powerful force than fear. i'm optimistic for the future, but you know, there is a very ugly marriage between commerce and the creative. and to have what we do, and especially specific voices like amma's, like ava's, to have their voices and their platform requires not just faith but support and advocacy. and if you don't have people who it is incumbent upon them to platform those voices they're just going to turn the other way and do what they know to be true. so i feel very blessed and very privileged to be someone who has just enough notoriety, just enough faith to push for these stories to be told. and that there are filmmakers like ava and amma who can meet without faith and produce such great work. >> so into what is your faith rooted, or put another way, how do you sustain your hope? >> well, i'm a ch

dr. kinge out in 1981 and got a fair amount of attention. that was the lead up to my big biography of dr. king bearing the cross that one a culture in -- won a pulitzer in 1987. brian: why did it win a pulitzer? david: i think what might i would answer that is that the pulitzer board at this time had a number of people on it who were former civil rights journalists. brian: new york times. david: yes, so they were familiar with civil rights historiography and if i can say so, what a significant step forward that book represented compared to earlier work. back in 1986, civil rights historiography was just starting to gain strength. a whole lot more active field now than it was when i started interviewing people in 1979. brian: what did you have in the book that nobody knew before it came out? david: i think with dr. king, the fundamental piece of this was how deep his fate grounding -- faith grounding was. this was someone who had a self sacrificial understanding of his calling. the number one p

>> oh, dr. king is the formative influence in my life and i'm deeply grateful for my immersion in h teachings and his thought and i try to have that inform the way i lead my life every day. >> i want to put on the screen three pictures of three women, the general overalquestion and you can see this on the screen. alex mcnear in 1981, that's a picture of her with a class, classmates. genevieve cook, 1984 to 1985 and sheila miyoshi jager, 19 to 1988. just to watch this for a little bit, but i'd ask you overall what of the impact of women on his life including his grandmother, his mother and his wifemichelle? >> i believe one of the most striking things with barack's own memoir, dreams from my father, is the almost complete absence of women from that book. barack himself even back in the 1990s spoke with regret about how he pretty much left his mother out of that book. in the book, there is one composite girlfriend, an admixture of some alex, some genevieve, some sheila, but these were all very importan

what i'm talking about is what dr. king was talking about. i hope you all will go back and read "chaos or community?" when he talked about the aboved community and spirit. i think we all need to go back and read that very carefully. >> as i think -- we were talking about this earlier in the green room. on the one hand, the brown in the decision is a -- certainly a significant step forward. it has removed a set of legal barriers, things that people were legally allowed to do to each other that we can objectively agree are not good. they're bad. i think that's harder is for people to have the willingness to do the day-to-day grinding, hard work to make things better. ok. so we removed some barriers. we clearly see it in our day-to-day lives, people are willing to do other horrible things to each other. so we can say ok now people can

in the final chapter, the final book that dr. king wrote, he talked about education. dr. martin luther king said that american schools do not know what to teach or how to teach. that's dr. king. guess he's controversial. because he pointed out something that should have been obvious to many of us. that this system is not broken. we keep referring to the public education system as broken. it ain't broken. it's working the way it was designed in 1635, to make sure that white kids from small communities gain access to the power that was believed to be theirs to hold. in an agrarian society, an agrarian calendar. when we say it was broken, maybe we don't understand the definition of broken. see, something is broken means it doesn't work. it's working. the same system was designed on the same time as another system we often refer to as broken. the justice system. also designed to make sure that black people in particular don't gain access to freedom. they're the same system. same ugly sisters of one another. same system designed to produce the same results they've been producin

clyburn and dr. king, let us be prayerful about how we go forward on this very personal issue, about the well-being of every person in our country. speaker ryan once called this bill an act of mercy. an act of mercy. there is no mercy here. indeed, inequality and inhumanity is exactly -- that is exactly what trumpcare has in store for the american people. but when he said it's an act of mercy, ears what others said. from the beginning trumpcare was a moral monstrosity that will devastate seniors, children and hardworking americans. that was from me. but don't take it from me. sister simone campbell said, this is not the faithful way forward and must be rejected. the catholic health association wrote, we strongly encourage the full house to reject this replacement bill. and the united methodist church said, opposing trumpcare, this is what they said, people will die because of efforts like this to roll back health care. lutheran services of america said, trumpcare will jeopardize the health care and long-t

king: if you prescribe the wrong drug, are you liable? dr. kutinsky: of course. mr. king: then your medical malpractice and liability insurance is supposed to cover that, what's happened to your premiums? dr. kutinsky: they're high, super high, they continue to go up. mr. king: in proportion to my health insurance premium, i would think? dr. kutinsky: probably. mr. king: i want to ask professor tippett if doctors are liable when they prescribe the wrong drug and attorneys can advertise and spend potentially millions of dollars to put out a thread of truth and argue it's under first amendment protection, a thread of truth that counteracts 99.9% of what is necessary if doctors are liable, why aren't attorneys liable? if the misinformation from attorneys brings about death or injury, doctors are paying for their professional error, why aren't attorneys paying for theirs? tip i guess -- i don't know that i agree with the position that these ads only have a thread of truth. i think attorneys are pretty careful that their statements are factually accurate, it's the context

dr. king's efforts,be that person being, of course, the head of the fbi, j. edgar hoover. is there anything you would like to add about him? a >> you're absolutely right. he wasn't -- he was there. not so much in the wigs, -- wings, but trying to be center stage. he had his views about race and the future of the country, and he didn't like martin lutherra king, and he did everything he could to spoil king's relationship with the kennedys, making up information about king being a communist and everythine else and passing it along to bobby kennedy and knowing that bobby kennedy would pass it along to his brother. this sullied the relationship because while i think that the kennedys may not have believed it, they had to at least give it enough credence to keep king at arm's length because if the information got out and it was seen that king was believed to w have any communist associations and they were too close to king, it could have an impact on them as well. so it was a very messy situation, and hoover was really a negative force in the whole situation. >> the political a

you know, dr. king once said that 12:00 on sunday is america's most segregated hour in america.iday prayer time in this muslim community is the most integrated. we have a nice community here. >> well, thank you, brother, for talking to me. i appreciate it. now you got a lot of food to eat. much of the food in the area is permissible. even though common sense goes against it, i'm headed to see how the sausage gets made. okay. more like where the meat gets made. damn. now i'm hungry. >> these are some of the products that we have. these are lamb products over here. this is ribs right here, right? >> yeah. >> so what -- is that just -- >> that's the by-products we don't sell. >> be honest, some of this is hot dogs, right? >> no. >> talk about a little bit about why it's important it your faith the meat is prepared this way? >> in our scripture, it tells us let the animal relax, respect the animal. any muslim can bless it before slaughter and go through the rituals and it can be. we're saying thank you for allowing us to have this animal to nourish us and we very much respect that.

dr. king said, they abound in single garment of destiny. if that actually happened, if they found each other, if they got together, there was a coalition of working people peopledisenfranchised across the races, it will be a political earthquake. both groups would get what they wanted what needed and deserve. america will be better for it. president kennedy said if a free society cannot help the many who are poor it cannot save the few who are rich in his inaugural address. there in lines next step. we and cities across america we must not only reclaim, that has to be part of broader movement reconciliation common understanding and empowerment. that means breaking down age. old racial barriers and have tough conversations that are not happening now. it means seeking to find common ground which is we trying to do in new orleans. now is the time to take stock of and to reckon with our history so we can go forward. i say it all the time, you cannot go around race. you can't go under it. you can't go over it. you have got to go through it. walk

>> dr. kingd, back in the '60s, he said, the only transformative force that could really, fully transform america would be for poor whites and blacks and brown people and working people to come together. >> reporter: jonathan wilson- hartgrove's conversion began when he first met reverend barber. before that, he had been a young conservative who had worked both for the moral majority, a political group associated with the christian right and the republican party, and also for conservative south carolina senator strom thurmond. what was your own attitude about poor black people and black people in general? >> so, i was raised in the southern baptist church. i was raised in a sundown town. until 1983, there was a sign at the edge of our town that told black people they weren't welcome there after the sun went down. >> reporter: i've read that you called yourself a racist in those days. >> sure. i didn't know i was a racist, but reverend barber helped me see that i was racist, and more importantly,

as dr. king said, they are bound n a single garment of destiny. if that actually happened, if they found each other, if they got together, if there was a coalition of working people and disenfranchise aid cross the races, it would be a political -- disenfranchised across the races, it would be a political queark. there would be an unstoppable force. both groups would get when they wanted, needed and deserved. president kennedy said, if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. in his inaugural address. so therein lies the next step. we in cities and towns across america must not only reclaim our most public spaces for the united states of america, but that must be part of a broader ovement toward reconciliation, common understanding and empowerment. that means breaking down age-old racial barriers and having tough conversations that are not happening right now. it means both governing with a lens common understanding and of equ find common ground, which is what wear trying to do in new orleans. so now i

i am talking about what dr. king talked about. i suggest you all go back and read "where do we go from here -- chaos or community?" where he talks about the beloved community. i think we all need to go back and read that very carefully. hand thek on the one brown decision is certainly a significant step forward. to remove a set of legal barriers. things people were legally allowed to do to each other that i think we can all agree were not good. we're about. i think what is harder is for people to the willingness to sort of do the day-to-day grinding and work to make things better. ok, you remove some barriers. in our daily lives, people are willing to do a lot of other horrible things to each other and we have not been willing to fight those day-to-day fights. now people have access, they can go to the same school. well, it is a different fight to make sure all of the schools will allow children to go to our good. that is one we have not been and reallytake on in drive every single day. that is important. if you are going to make

what i'm talking about is what dr. king talked about. i suggest all of you go back and read "where do we go from here? chaos or community" and when he talked about the revolution of the social values and the revolution of the spirit and the beloved community. i think we all need to go back and re-read that very carefully. >> seiku? >> yeah. i think, virginia and i were talking about this earlier in the green room. on the one hand, brown and the decision is certainly a significant step forward and has removed a set of legal barriers and things that were legally alloweded to do to each other that we can objectively agree that are not good, that are bad. i think what's harder is for people to have the willingness to sort of do the day to day grind and hard work to make things better. we removed some barriers and we clearly see in our day to day lives people are able to do a lot of horrible things to each other and we have not been willing to fight the day to day. they can all go to the same schools and it's a different fight to make sure th

dr. martin luther king and president kennedy and assassination record review board identified a number of significant number of records that they felt were not available for release at the time, but they sat october of 2017 as the release date. now the government can still, the law still allows the government to review records and decide they still need to be kept secret for perhaps if they reveal sources and methods or intelligence gathering capabilities. we expect the bulk of the records will be released later this year. host: bill, independent, good morning. houston, missouri, good morning. bill, you with us? caller: yeah. host: go ahead, sir. caller: yeah. well, sitting here watching, it says the federal government is putting up $100 million, i want to know where the federal government has all the money stored because the money in the treasury belongs to the taxpayers. if they want presidential libraries, let them pay for it themselves. i don't figure my tax money ought to go for that. guest: good point, we've had debates in congress about how much money we should spend to preserve an

it was that everybody wants to focus on the race problems and dr. kingthe soul of america from triple evils of race, war and poverty. now, i think we've done what we got to do with race. almost every racial problem now is economic. i mean, ferguson was not a race probl problem, it's a jobs problem. st. louis took poor people out of atlanta and in clayton county where our poor people were relocated from the central city i think was one of the fastest growing counties in america last year basically because we moved the whole porsche plant and its whole operation down unfortunately where ford used to be. >> ambassador, we want to thank you. you want to wish you a very happy birthday and we appreciate you being with us this morning. >> thanks and god bless you. >> thank you. >> coming up, congressman sean duffy on where tax reform stands in the house. we'll find out how close lawmakers are to getting something done. in the meantime, check out the futures right now, up, please. they're now negative on the dow, just barely positive on the s&p, up 10 on the nas
