fred: liz? liz: one thing this conversation has me thinking about is the importance that these founding documents and paper collections that these documentary editors, like sarah, put together for us have been very important. but it also makes you think about everyone else who participated and the different documents that are out there about them. there is a lot of exciting work going on around the fact that the founders were not the only people involved in creating a revolution and the nation. so, you know, you have historians working on -- there was a book published recently about the african-american patriots who served in the continental army and their reasons for doing so. you have rob parkinson, who published a book called "the common cause," looking at how the patriots used media to bound everybody together saying that , enslaved people will revolt and native americans will massacre your town, so it was fear mongering, and they were using the press that way. historians are starting to loo

tell me what it was like to work with fred willard. i never got a chance to do that. but such a strange, strange mind at the same time. >> yeah. i-- yeah. he-- i think he really-- he very quietly influenced a whole generation of improvisers and comedic actors and comedy, i think, in general. he-- he did have-- he did have a mind you couldn't quite pinpoint, and i read a quote that martin mull, who worked with him for a long time and early on -- >> stephen: fernwood. >> said that he never used his turn signal, which i thought was such a perfect way to describe fred willard and his brand of comedy. he-- he... he never indicated at all that anything he was doing was even remotely funny. and i think that's what made it 10 times funnier, that-- he was so deep in character, you almost started to think, well, he's just this person. he has no idea how funny he's being. but he did. and he's, i think, probably the finniest thing in "space force." there was one-- he'd improvise a lot of stuff, obviously. and after one take, the crew put down all their equipment and gave him a st

sleep meanwhile the german all fred fans don't have quite as broad here road. but it's a rain across it's tricky spots even so we're going to buy another one jeep has gotten stuck in a bush a whole lot of. other things like this happen often it's no tragedy help is on the way. other drivers test their meshal in bumpy robina's adventures like this only for genuine off road vehicles s.u.v.s made for the asphalt jungle wouldn't get fun here but then is the city really the right place for. the market you can drive down to the ice cream parlor in it but i'm afraid all too many off roaders don't ever use their cars for anything else and that's too bad i thought you should use a car in the environment it was billed for. i call that ethical treatment of automobiles and water modern the occasional rocks are a part of it sometimes it results in a bit offended maybe the comments are a tight spot but left to fend behind. is just part of it you have to take it in your stride you have to want to. i i. i. i. soon found himself having to practice what he preached. what's wrong

we see fred astair's grave, he was with the american 93rd. african-american division. they are on the bottom to the right with a french helmet on it. we have the symbol of the 92nd battalion soldiers along them. >> i notice over here at the bottom there's the 27th division in the middle, they have the star of orion. they were engaged in another direction, right? they were part of an offensive that was going on at the same time as the meuse-argonne attacking the canal. >> yes, exactly. the meuse-argonne is what we know of the american part of the big offensive, but it's a common offensive from all the allied troops. i think this is the key point. for the first time in the war we have a combined attack from the british, french and americans altogether. meuse-argonne for most americans, but some americans were fighting under british and french commons. that's the case for the 27th. the battle started on the same day for everybody. 26th of september for the americans here. september 26th for the french 4th army, and september 27th for the british around the town. >> why do

what did he have to say, fred? >> reporter: hi, there, robyn.utely right, the company says it has been a very good start, and they also say that the fact they are now able to conduct these trials in the united states is also a big milestone for them. they say they want to expand these trials as fast as possible with up to 200 participants very quickly here in germany and about 360 in the united states, and they do say that if things go well -- and of course, as we know, robyn, that is a very big if -- they could, indeed, have millions of doses ready by the end of the year and possibly hundreds of millions in 2021. i was able to speak to biontech's ceo, and here's what he said. a simple injection that some hope could help bring an end to a global pandemic. pfizer and its german partner biontech announcing today they've dosed the first participants in the u.s. with a vaccine candidate in a clinical trial. 12 study participants in germany received doses last month. biontech's ceo saying preclinical data showed good results. >> we've seen vaccine re

the fred federal government, the public health and the national security and beyond. it remained vacant. qualified nominees of and held up for too long already have become even more necessary in these uncertain times. on the floor, and committees the senate will be acting on keep nominations that relate directly to the safety of the american people oversight of our coronavirus legislation, and more. we need to continue to maintain a safeguard a nuclear resources. so their first nominee, we need to keep protecting our nation against foreign intelligence services . is not a nominee will be moving soon. and with those around the world, they're not going to give us a facet of the pandemic is over. so the senate needs to overcome obstruction. and they need to continue to act. so mr. president, i don't think anybody can seriously argue that this critical national security post is not essential senate business. but any of my colleagues who may wish to that we do not have to devote more time and roll call votes to these types of nominations so i would civilly say, i agree wit

class you so much fred. it's an incredible honor for me to be here. you mentioned all-star team, this is like my dream team. i know whether it's lebron and then whomever but if i just could imagine a team from everyone on earth who i want to have joining me in an event like this to share insights, it would really just be the people on this call now so thank you you fred, george, deborah and daniel thank you all to our really great cohost. thanks thought, atlantic council. singularity university and my publisher sourcebooks is like i don't know any authors who say i love mypublisher . i happen to be one. and we're all coming together at this crazy, moment and i think we're all feeling this sense of sadness, the sense of morning because there are very real and meaningful people and things that are being lost. i'm here in new york city at the center of it. but there's a lot of pain that's going around. but i think we're also feeling as fred said that there's a new world on so many levels it's being created. trends that were already having accelerating an

cnn's martin savage joins me with more. >> reporter: fred, yeah.e have some new imagery that's come to light. this is not really new, i point out. it is additional footage. investigators have had this for some time and the gbi admits they saw this footage even before they went out and made the arrest of the mcmichaels, and what this video shows is ahman arbery on the day he died inside a house under construction. surveillance video. you see it briefly. walks around and get to out and kornts his run through the neighborhood. he doesn't take anything. and the most trouble he would be in, i guess trespassing's not a felony offense and would not justify the citizen's arrest law orpplied in this particular case. talking about the cell phone video captured by roddy brian, the one that actually captured the struggle and death. i spoke to his attorney and asked what was he doing making that video? did he actually help or try to apprehend the young man? and just what was going on? here's what the attorney said to me. >> he was trailing behind or he was tryi

fred, what did you learn about what they have so far? >> reporter: well, exactly, brooke. they're quite excited about the clinical trials beginning in the u.s. they began clinical trials last week here in germany with some 12 participants and they want to move forward to 200 germany and about 360 in the united states. two things they want to find out. on the one hand whether or not this vaccine has an effect. but also whether or not it is safe. that is a very key thing for them. they say if all of this is certified, that they could not only have emergency rations ready by fall, but they could potentially have millions of doses ready by the end of this year and hundreds of millions in 2021. now, of course, all of that is dependent on whether or not the clinical trials go well and get certification. but the ceo of the company who i talked to earlier, he said he's fairly confident and here is why. >> so you can ask what is the remaining risk if you have those thousand subjects, what is the remaining risk if you have 10,000 subjects and have shown that this is safe. and then y
