john after we legalized marijuana in washington state. i swear i've never been hugged by so many big black baptist pastors. they were so thankful we took the crime out of the equation. because they cared about the raf ajs of the war on drugs to their community, not the problem caused by marijuana. that's why the naacp endorses these issues. the naacp looks out for what is good for the african-american community. and of course the drug problem is a huge issue in the african-american community. and they endorse legalizing taxing and regulating marijuana smartly because they know that the most tragedy thing about marijuana for people struggling is the fact that it's illegal. >> about ten minutes before the house comes in for the day taking your phone calls with rick steves as we discuss marijuana legalization. siel as on the line for those opposing marijuana out of rutland, vermont. good morning. >> good morning. thank you for taking my call. in vermont i went to several sessions and testified both in front of a house committee early on with this and also at the governor's commissions held ar

all right, joining me now, freddie gray, editor of spectator usa and john taylor, lord taylor of warwick. he's the first black conservative member elected to the parliament since the 14th century. all right, great to see both of you here tonight. did you know there were so many congressmen, lord taylor, communists, excuse me, in the uk? it was amazing. i counted, i think, eight hammer and sickle flags. they were fast marches. i'd rather keep up with them. they were speedy. >> 50 i query if they were genuine communists. a communist would not tolerate that kind of protest which was embarrassing. we need to plant seeds, not weeds to strengthen the relationship between britain and america. they were planting weeds. the leader of the free world in london, treat him with respect. i'm embarrassed. trump should not have been treated like that. i apologize to you, laura, formally with british etiquette. >> i mean, you think of britain, you think manners are going to teach us all the proper manners and proper etiquette. it's always been the great model, i think, for us back in the states, british manners. most of the p

this is john hamilton, 62nd pennsylvania. we are used to black people. there is a black boy here. we pull a good deal of fun out of him and a good deal of information. he cannot read but he is trying to learn. i think he is as smart a boy as i ever seen it not to be educated. that hamiltonea is a pennsylvania soldier saying this guy cannot spell and this guy is uneducated. he clearly does not see that he is in a transitional literacy estate. that -- literacy state. that is my point. we need to realize the soldiers are operating on a spectrum of literacy that needs to be taken seriously. so what would it matter? if they are not habitual writers, they are not habitual readers, or they would have figured out proper spelling. then you have to imagine their information network is spoken, not written. what would that mean? your world is a little smaller. you are dependent upon the people you actually talk to and the people you trust. that also means none of your information is being vetted and verified by outside sources coming to you as a written text. that means rumor and accurate int

. >> so i'm having one last black people meeting with professor john diamond, an expert on the subject until about four years ago. >> okay. >> because something happened to me, and it was later described to me as implicit bias. i was just calling it racism. >> right. >> can you talk about what that means? >> yeah, so tony greenwald established project implicit about 20 years ago. what they were trying to figure out is what's going on in people's minds before they're able to think about what's the socially responsible answer. >> yeah. >> right? and so the way to think about implicit bias, you don't necessarily have to dislike people of other races to be affected by it. right? it's in everything you do. somebody walks in the door and it's a man, you have some assumptions about what that means. and we've also been conditioned to not talk about it, right? >> you can watch an all-new episode of "united shades of america" tonight at 10:00 eastern and pacific only on cnn. i'm i'm alex marquardt. the 2020 race is under way. you're looking at live pictures from the hall of fame dinner in cedar

matter of legitimate concern to every american. >> on march 7th, america's first black president, barack obama with john sunday. >> in one afternoon 50 years ago, so much of our turbulent history of slavery and anguish of civil war, the yolk of segregation and tyranny of jim crowe, all that history met on this bridge. >> just seven months earlier in ferguson, missouri, peaceful demonstrators protesting the shooting of michael brown were confronted by a militarized police force. >> all of a sudden three urban tanks came. >> looks like flash grenades and smoke rising up. now the tear gas is coming out. >> we're just need to open our eyes and ears and hearts to know this nation's racial history still cast the long shadow upon us. >> it's not just negroes, but all of us who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. and we shall overcome. >> president johnson's 1965 speech to congress invoking the movement's anthem marked the peak of a civil rights struggle. for a brief moment, the promise of a nation united against racial injustice seemed within reach. but would it last? hey, who are you?

the democrat wins in south carolina will win because of black voters in primary. >> right. charles: johnights movement, you know saying hey he has biden's back. clyburn, another legend saying he has biden's back. >> right. charles: does this put pressure on booker and kamala harris to back off? >> didn't hold back. they should hold his feet to the fire. they think he is the best chance to beat trump. he is attached to popular president. talking about president barack obama. people think that he is going to be the guy. they're picking favorites just like they did with hillary clinton. the thing is, this is the kind of tactics that will backfire. they have seen it already with hillary clinton. charles: we just got started. feels like, they have been doing kid gloves are getting a lot tougher right now. before the primaries started we were told democratic party is leaning young, towards women, towards black, towards hispanics, well the polls came out, the same people at top. >> of course. it's a lot of talk with no action. something i talked about far before i worked for senator sanders. we

black voters. cory boker says this is hurtful, he needs to apologize. i saw johnaid biden doesn't have to apologize, he completely understands. how is this landing? >> here's what i think is going on. black voters, who i think we haven't paid nearly enough attention to, black americans in general, let alone what their voting patterns are, in my experience, especially in new york, black voters are fairly conservative. not necessarily politically, but in terms of their trust in the political system. they have been burned many times for hundreds of years. so for them it's a lot about who they know, who they trust and new candidates like cory booker who's new to them are not necessarily going to have as easy of a time breaking through as someone like joe biden. joe biden is somebody who they associate with barack obama, who has a long history obviously with the plaqblack community ats point in the united states and the rest of the country. cory booker and kamala harris have been issue where black voters don't know them. until they get to know them, they may not trust

john roberts. >> reporter: in this class photo of the men and women in black, one justice sits smiling front and dealogically he's actually on the right. chief justice john roberts, thrust into the top role 14 years ago, the youngest chief in more than 200 years now leading a divided court as a divided nation watches. >> no collusion. >> reporter: anorm-busting republican president and an aggressive democratic house colliding. >> it's like two glaciers crushing together and anybody that's caught between those two glaciers or icebergs can be crushed. there's high stakes and lots of tension. >> and where does that leave john roberts? >> right smack in the middle of things. >> reporter: on the docket, old questions once considered settled about the issue of abortion and new questions about the president's power and congress' authority. >> every generation has a moment where the supreme court seems to stand on the edge of the abyss. right now there are fundamental questions about the protection of individual liberty and about the basic structure of our government that are up for grabs in ways that we
