ellis, why don't you tell us? why did you write a book called american dialogue the founders and us? well, what were you trying to say to us as we come upon the independence day of our country? jane thank you for that gracious introduction. i think what i was trying to do. was use the dialogue between atoms and jefferson or towards the end of their lives the correspondence 155 letters. they exchange between 1812 and 1826. as a model and i thought it was a model that we needed to have before us because in my judgment. when i started writing this book in 18 19 in 19, excuse me, 2015. i'm his story and it keeps going back to the 18th century. it seemed to me we had been. for many years a deeply divided people. and became more so over the years as i was writing this book 2016 and 2017. and that we had lost the capacity to argue. the constitution itself isn't a collection of timeless truths. it is a framework in which we argue about what those truths are and um, and i came to the task believing that to well here's a co

. >> thanks very much, ellie.where i want to sort of get started here is, you know, you described shaheena, the school, you get a really good sense of where she is, but i want to go even before that, before you walk into sullivan. i want to turn the clock back to 2016ish, 2017, on what's happening in the world at this time that leads you to seek out local refugee stories. >> yeah, so this story does go all the way back to 2017, so i've known these guys for a long time now. very much part of each other's lives at this point whether they wanted that or not. [laughter] but i first began this project actually after attending a protest, after donald trump was inugh rated in -- inaugurated in january 2017 and one of his first executive orders was signing a travel ban from seven majority muslim countries, and when i was there, at o'hare airport, where this protest was happening, i just wondered to myself, who are these refugee families arriving in chicago, and what do their lives look like here? and that quickly led me t

quebec's family asked for one of ellis to withdraw i asked for one of ellis to withdraw it so for ageslly because it had a strained reputation. the thing now is people remember the first 45 minutes and what they forget is... it remember the first 45 minutes and what they forget is. . ._ what they forget is... it was very sca . what they forget is... it was very scary- yes. _ what they forget is... it was very scary- yes. and _ what they forget is... it was very scary. yes, and also _ what they forget is... it was very scary. yes, and also very - what they forget is... it was very| scary. yes, and also very stylised and it is narrated _ scary. yes, and also very stylised and it is narrated by _ scary. yes, and also very stylised and it is narrated by the - scary. yes, and also very stylised | and it is narrated by the character talking a mixture of english and russian. and the design is extraordinary. the use of music is really phenomenal. it... there is no doubt it is a confrontational film and there are some people who absolutely will loathe it. but, weird thing to say about a film, i

i mean on a desire to live ellis ellis. i oh, i was driven by dreams shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask me. oh right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. is profitable to sell food. that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change that, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the because it's corporate, me the we are not seeking new cold war. all of the major powers of the world have a duty in my view to carefully manage their relationships. it's joe biden, promot global cooperation. you and the french president cancelled his speech there, made a growing diplomatic spot with a white, as will tell you all about coming up to despite record you energy prices and a huge short fall in supply. the block is nonetheless slapping fines on poland at the moment for using coal and is also blaming russia for.

author of the new book "the respondent" actor greg ellis!'s like your favorite sweater -- soft, warm, and riddled with moths. fox news contributor, kat timpf! and finally, his style of comedy is no laughing matter. writer and comedian, joe machi! all right i'm going to the only person here that still living in california, greg. do you think larry elder is a sneaky white supremacist? >> let me get this straight, the white man is saying that the black man is the black face of white supremacy? >> greg: yes! >> okay, guy from compton, having lived -- it's like he's been drinking the woke cola for too long. if i'm against -- i want the recall to happen. i don't think it carries on him. he has decimated california. it's like this, likely seen see them from companies living in this era where woke capitalism, where companies sell products to people who pretend to hate a social justice -- it's like communism, capitalism. gavin, look, he's a pretty fellow, good looking chap. not doing him very well. larry looks like he really mixes them up. >> greg: i

the man who admitted to ellie the reason he was not getting the vaccine is it wasn't approved beforeit wasn't approved before the election when it might have helped donald trump get re-elected. it didn't matter to him -- him that trump got the vaccine. he didn't believe trump got the vaccine. but to hear that, that's not a medical decision, that's a political decision. case in point that the vaccine has been politicized. >> yeah, and i also would say i wonder in a case like that if donald trump -- we've wondered if donald trump had come out and been supportive of the vaccine, would it have made a difference for people who support him. perhaps in the case like that it would have. but instead, he got the vaccine in january and we didn't find out about it later. he did not champion this vaccine that was ushered through during his administration. and now there will be this question, could he have saved lives if he did. >> really great report from ellie reeve. >>> so, almost everyone knows where they were almost 20 years ago to the day on september 11. it's what the country and the major

it's fascinating his parents came in through ellis island of the left which is galveston texas. it is a narrative that runs through his story and there are many surprises. i don't want to give a lot away. the first paragraph of part three when he returns, he escapes in october 1948 and returns to the soviet union and i wrote this which i think maybe is kind of an answer to your question. he's lived a lie about his past and family and work and after escaping the stresses he may have hoped for a new start but when he returned to moscow he found only a twisted fearful culture and propaganda prejudice namely against jews and americans as "the new york times" correspondent wrote anyone coming to russia at this time must bear in mind the paradox that has become the most reactionary power on earth. so in america he was walking on egg shells in terms of anti-semitism and anti-communism and then when he returned to russia there was a horrifying period of anti-semitism that he walked right into and in that chapter of the book it goes into that a bit but anyhow, i could go on and on. it's
