pete: john malcolm, thank you for your time this morning. good stuff. >> good to be with you.ing down for the oscars that and many more issues on the other side. what started with one job spread all around. because each job in energy creates many more in this town. i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. for afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of stroke. while taking, you m

john. i work with malcolm and nina parkes at mirage medicinal. we have expended blood, sweat, tears and a lot of money over the past year building this opportunity for mirage. through our hard work, we secure some investment and personal loans allowing us to acquire leases for our planned retail stores and distribution business the proposed retroactive cap on equity applicants, the cap on retail store permits, and the limitation on partners would nullify all of our hard work and sacrifice over the past two years. will also expose malcolm and myself to personal liability, to landlords and creditors. as stated in the report, a program well and policies that continue to burden our communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs. and ensure investment in communities that are disenfranchised. these proposed amendments were contrary to the spirit of the equity program. these amendments lets us and but only with -- it is not true equity. >> before you leave, did you say how many applications you had in class. >> four. i work f

so there's a great one about malcolm x, there's john lewis' march, a three-part series which i have usedwith everybody from my 12-year-old niece through the college classes as well, and has shown me new things as well. so i think auto biographs or biographs and/or graphic novels are a great place to start if this one is too daunting and maybe but anotherdown bookshelf for later. >> hello. you can come up to the front mic. >> amanda, we'll -- thank you. >> hi. there are multitude, obviously, of why people who would like to get involved, but myself being included, we don't have -- we don't know who should be our role models. in your opinion, has been the most effective at being wise and being accepted and effective in promoting black power? >> so, i think the betts historical example from tom the student nonviolent coordinating committee. start inside 1960 and until 1967 it was enter racial. ing this meant you had young college students who were working and also had white people working in the staff office, so it isn't something that -- there are plenty of interracial groups. the sni cc de

john j. college of criminal justice. the author "the voting rights war". also with us malcolm nance.e's also executive director at terror asymmetrics. and allen smith. from what we know about this reporting, there's not a lot of it here, could this happen and what would it make it if it got to the supreme court? >> first we have to look at something being filed under sea which is extraordinary. the u.s. supreme court, we have a public court system. so that documents as well as arguments are for the public viewing. and to have something go before the court and they want not only to have the briefing be under seal, but any oral argument to be without any public review at all, this is beyond anything that the court is used to handling. that's why the assumption is as part of the mueller investigation because what else in all of these years before the supreme court has been asked to hold something under seal? >> outside the norm here. allen, there's a lot of unidentifieds in this by the way, unidentified foreign country, unidentified company as well, and it goes on. >> absolutely. we've

pretty tired of malcolm mcdonald's, as it was then seen his cheerleading and gameplaying for american intervention. but by then it was needed. by then the americans who were in deep. johnulles saw an opportunity to write off vietnam. john foster dulles had no understanding how we had ever got involved in vietnam in the first place.he had never personally dealt with mcdonald. and there was one fleeting moment where john foster dulles told anthony eden who was then prime minister, let us write it off. there is no need for america to be in vietnam. that didn't last long. and by 57 we were gearing up and when kennedy came in he moved from 400 troops to 17,000. and his argument resonates today. we did have soldiers in there, they weren't really soldiers. they were just special forces commandos and cia operatives. so it wasn't going to be at all dangerous. >> thanks. >> we have time for one more question. >> just a quick question on the faster demobilization for the u.s. do you think that encourage the faster production stream coming out versus the brits who did not demobilize quite so fast and then people in the military and who therefore cannot be as productive in the econ
