i would say the democratic party has captured martin luther king but don't share his values. ey're not anti-war, they don't talk about poverty. it's a very whitewashed, commercialized, corporate martin luther king that is a part of the democratic party. host: bishop barber, let meifice you a chance to weigh in. guest: even a renowned economist talks about the price of inequality. yes, it was dr. king, but it was many others. black and white. it was welfare right, women, actually that started the poor people's campaign. it was women who started and invited dr. king and others into it. women of all different races, creeds and colors back in the 1960's. but the caller is right. we are united, over 1/3 of the country is united by this reality every day. they experience the death, they experience the lack, they experience the unnecessary abolishable lack and hurt. and it can be changed. that's the point. and what we're arguing also in the book is that what we have done in our political debate, we have 15 or so debates in the last presidential election and not one of those debates f

it felt like the entire nation was in great morning martin luther king, the third was just 6-years-old at the time i remember thinking what is going to happen now and our nation, because the kennedy administration represented progress for communities of color there have been moments in american history that tend to be very violent the 1960s and the civil rights era is one in the 1960s entrenched white power holders who are not really excited about more marginalized people getting more so right? >> you have people who feel threatened by segregation now, segregation the nation the reverend dr. martin luther king junior famously delivered these transformers but have words on the steps of the lincoln memorial, less than three months before revelry. >> turned to tragedy and president john f. kennedy was killed in fact the join hands right bars and five girls as sisters and brothers, i have a dream your father gave the i have a dream speech that almost everybody in the world can recite at least part of it is the dream realized absolutely not. >> dad envision a nation where freedom and justic

for all of our fellow citizens and people who love peace all over the world and that is at martin luther king was shot and was killed tonight in memphis on the night of dr. king's murder, then presidential candidate and senator robert f. >> kennedy spoke to a large crowd on the streets of indianapolis, filmed by local news wish tv. >> you can be filled with bitterness and with hatred and a desire for revenge we can move in that direction as a country in greater polarization black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites deal with hatred toward one another around the time of dads assassination over 100 cities went up in flames indianapolis, where robert kennedy was, did not. >> that was a magical moment. >> all we can. make an effort, as martin luther king did to understand and to comprehend and replaced that violence that's staying a bloodshed that is spread across our land but an effort to understand compassion and love beautiful, heartfelt, eloquent speech by a man who sadly would lose his life to a bullet within a matter of months i think that we can end the divisions within the uni

we should act like that martin luther king, the third, thanks so much for joining us. thank you, wolf and coming up. >> our special coverage will continue as we await president biden to give his oval office address later tonight stay with us you're in the situation room this is what you want this is what you mean. >> this is the path to true happiness love at the sauce already it's a good day at the office thank you. my name, age braden. i like 5-years-old when i came to change him he trying to shore and gowns story shell, and then having these headaches that when i go away, my mom, she was just crying what they said they're saying hajj brain cancer it was your worst fear come into life watching your child grew up it is the dream every parent you can join the battle to save the lives of kids like braden by supporting st. jude children's research hospital families never receive a bill from st. jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. so they can focus on helping their child who live what they've done for me, my son, my family sorry life is a gift especially for a c

son of martin luther king junior.riod in our history, but adds, it's also an opportunity to overcome hatred. >> we got to find out how do we turn to each other and stop turning on each other. currently, the climate is to turn on each other. if we don't agree. dad and mom showed us how to disagree without being disagreeable. that spirit must emerge once again. >> martin luther king, the third says, now is the time to bring civility back into our politics. excuse me? saying we can do better than what we saw this weekend. our continuing coverage does not stop here. follow along tonight or anytime with live updates right on our website. those are refreshing. now on abc seven news.com or on your abc seven news bay area app. we're all about building a better bay area here at abc seven. that means not shying away from our community's toughest challenges. crime is a big one, and tonight we're digging more into some strong improvements in san francisco. new data from the san francisco police department shows that crime in the

his contribution is basically equal to what martin luther king did in a way, or he is martin luther kingor us. host: thank you for calling. in the words of cesar chavez, if you read his writing, is he emulating martin luther king? he has the letter from sacramento. miriam: a little bit. they had some contact. i think the points that ricardo raises are really great and important. his legacy, that is why i wrote the biography because i think his legacy is not well enough known. it is not understood. he has been presented as a very two dimensional figure in a lot of ways. the answer to the question is more people need to study what he did and how he organized and what he did when he was most effective to see how those things can be used to help the lives of people who need that kind of power. for people to understand their own power was at the heart of his mission. and i think his success was making people who did not believe they had the power to stand up to the growers -- remember, they had no rights at all. to understand that by banding together, there were ways they could exert power an

thank you so much. >> an earlier caller compared frederick douglass to martin luther king. prof. dford: the thing to remember about frederick douglass is his whole thing was about agitation and protest. he would have been pleased with what martin luther king jr. was doing because he was trying to move forward. it was agitation and protest. king had a different perspective in terms of how you agitate and how you protest but douglass would not have criticized him for that. he would have been pleased the struggle still continues. he says one of his most famous quotes is where there is no struggle there is no progress. and certainly king understood that as well. >> let's return to bradley austin, our urban ranger in baltimore, to learn a little bit more about frederick douglass's life and his eventual escape. >> we are here in fell's point on the corner of lancaster and wolf street. in 1836 one frederick bailey returned to baltimore after his sojourn on the eastern shore, this was the end of fell's point. shipyards were here. he worked in one of those shipyards, the william gardner sh

historically uh, but if you look at all these assassinations, at least kennedy, both kennedys, um, martin luther king, malcolm x, uh, the shooting of reagan, the arthur brad shooting of george wallace, and on and a case could be made because lot of these remain unsolved or there's controversy around the you, the assassins name uh, could be made that the cia is responsible for all of them, lot of people think this, um, i'm not sure i don't think this, because it is the is perhaps the most logical explanation, but with trump here, now quiibono, who gains? trump's already way ahead in the polls, massively ahead in the polls. everybody is talking about there is now iconic picture of defiant trump with his fist in the air, um, blood on his cheek, uh, that this cemented his victory. meanwhile, black rock, state street, vanguard, the heads of all these hedge funds are meeting to have biden removed from the ticket because he can't win. that's the, that's the belief, and they want to bring an 11th hour can. that can upset trump, these are the narratives in play. um, i don't know, it's hard to, it's hard to kn

fue ese año que se tomó esta fotografía en un desfile de martin luther king. y yo todavía no era.rarme en frente en esa marcha. pero así es ella. ella crea oportunidades para particularmente, particularmente para a comunidades que históricamente no han tenido esa oportunidad. rolando bonilla explica que harris fue su mentora desde los 17 años. si hay alguien que se lo merece, es ella. su trabajo en la fiscalía de san francisco incrementó significativamente el número de arrestos. algunos sectores de la comunidad la critican por eso, otros, obviamente la apoyan por el hecho de que incrementó la seguridad en las en la ciudad. pero en términos de la pena de muerte en san francisco en particular, fue muy controversial por el hecho de que ya no la buscó. quizás ya cuando llegó al nivel del estado tuvo que tomar otra perspectiva. en el 2011, harris se convirtió en la fiscal general de california, lo que años después elevó su carrera convirtiéndola en la primera mujer de descendencia surasiática y afroamericana en representar a california en el senado federal de estados unidos. y aunque k

the country feel that we were moving in a good direction similarly, i was alive in 1968 when martin luther king killed and robert kennedy went before a group in indianapolis up a big rally of african americans and had to tell them that martin luther king had died. but he said it in such an extraordinary way. he said he understood that there might be a feeling for hate, there might be a feeling for revenge. he understood that because he had lost a brother, but he hoped that they would understand more importantly, that martin luther king's life was lived for love and for justice. and it turned out that he was so effective with those words that although riots went all throughout the rest of the country indianapolis was one of the few cities that stayed calm that night. and then of course only two months later, robert kennedy himself was killed. america felt, as i know, having lived through the 60s that we were reeling, how could this possibly happen? and then we go many years forward and a lot of people weren't alive even in 1991 when in 1981, when ronald reagan was hit by us, by his assassin, pot

martin luther king jr. and presidential candidate robert f kennedy, at the center of new york, were assassinated in the same year. one in march, the other in june. the nation was deeply divided of the time. killing sparked widespread fears of political violence engulfing the country two months before losing his own life. bobby kennedy delivered a historic speech just hours after dr. king was killed. >> what we need in the united states is not division. >> what we need is not violence and lawlessness, but it is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another. a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white, or whether they be black. >> michael, los angeles historian, joins me. michael, i go back to that night. it was a dark night in america. there were riots. i was a young reporter when dr. king was shot and killed. i was sent up to north philadelphia in a car by myself to do interviews. with people in the community who were so angry and so upset. and then, of c

that's what martin luther king said after he cried. he said, "now the voting rights bill will be passed." and dick had only nine hours to write that speech. it still seems astonishing to me that it could be done in that short period of time. normally, those speeches would be worked on for weeks or months, but he knew the timing was necessary. it had to be done then. - and the sentiment of the nation changes. - the sentiment of the nation changes. yes. - there's another story about the power of words to change a community. and it's early in his time writing for john f. kennedy when he goes to ashland, wisconsin, a small city on the banks of lake superior that has had an economic downturn. the shores are polluted. the industry has left. you interviewed the mayor of the town 50 years later, edward monroe. he told you, quote, "he made us feel good about ourselves. we needed to feel good about ourselves to believe that we could make our town better. he had challenged the country to put a man on the moon and now he was challenging us. lile b

martin luther king jr. there are a couple of : major parallels in that the issues that i think were most central to the 1960s, the ones that were the most divisive in the 1960s. they have continued to be incredibly divisive issues up to the current day. the most obvious of those is the question of race in america, foreign policy in the place of the united states in the world, which became a major issue again this spring with the college protest movement over israeli policy in gaza. and then one of the themes that i think we don't think about quite as much in the 1960s is the really fundamental transformation of the relationship between the government and private life, and particularly sexual life. and i think one of the great markers of the end of the 1960s was roe v. wade. judy: was roe v. wade. kevin: and of course, that's an issue that had been has been incredibly divisive ever since. and now, of course, has become a major, major point of contention in american public life. so there's huge continuities.

martin luther king came directly after hitler. mediately afterward came martin luther king, and it says that the rider of the black horse was given a set of skills, and then we had martin luther king speaking of equality. host: whoa, whoa, whoa, i'm trying to understand what parallels you are trying to make to the vice president's candidacy or the secret service. caller: very easy. martin luther king was speaking of equality of races, races of people, not just groups of people. i am not for kamala because she is dodging also the 2025 issue. but i found that that is not supporting of transgenderism. i'm not prejudiced against any individual like that, but i am saying that they do not have a right to make themselves equal with races of people. host: ok. jeff in north carolina, republican line. caller: yeah, the people that really love kamala harris, let them go out there and talk to the black people of california, the once she prosecuted for simple pot possession charges, let them talk to these people. to the 14 million democrats vot

you have the assassination of martin luther king junior and two months later the presumptive nomineeer, jfk. so the fact of that violence, the fact of that blood in american politics was fresh, in the 1960s into the 1970s and i think, it is still here today. i think that narrative and those stories are fresh in america's mind and when we talk about the opponents, when we talk about the politicians we do not like on the left or on the right, we talk about them in this dehumanising ways that sets up the possibility for someone to come along and say, i am going to stop them, i'm going to change history, and i'm going to kill former president trump, i'm going to kill martin luther king and stop the civil rights movement. it is built into the fabric of america.— fabric of america. professor matthew — fabric of america. professor matthew schmidt _ fabric of america. professor matthew schmidt thank - fabric of america. professor matthew schmidt thank you i fabric of america. professor - matthew schmidt thank you very much for your time. if you have justjoined us here, we're covering the ass

over the course of the decade who had been not only attempted assassination can put killed martin luther king, robert kennedy, john f. kennedy it became part of our life. malcolm x and here we are democratic convention will be in chicago again, and so the parallels are hard to ignore i think that decade was very traumatic for america and i hope that we can move into a better place, but i don't think the divisions are going to increase. i don't think the reason since that violence is possible from guns to more is going to disappear very easily. this is going to be hard work. if we're serious about moving beyond these kinds of threat levels all right, juliette kayyem, julian zelizer for us this morning. thank you very much to both of you all right. still ahead. how will this shooting impact the campaign moving forward, we're going to see more of these large rallies over the next few weeks. what else might change? that's next super beta prostate is the number one selling brand for a men's prostate and urinary hell and for the third year in a row, what's the number one urologist recommended brand

it starts much from, it comes from everywhere that just needs to stop at jfk, at rfk, martin luther king know you're going to but attempt to life of reagan. and now you have an attempted assassination of trump is just ridiculous, and it just i don't think it's a gun problem. i don't think it's a violence problem. i think there's lot of angry people that just have too much interest in politics. and it's a zero sum game to them politics shouldn't be a zero-sum game where someone whenever someone wins everything and someone loses everything. and i think this is, this is a result of that people, it came today. we're very happy. they're here to support trump but you could, you could, you can, you can. when you talk to people in the crowd, you there's a tenseness they don't want to they don't want to talk to family members about policy all texts because it just gets too angry i don't know what to tell you, but this needs to stop well, donald trump appeared to have been shot in the upper part of his ear during that rally or shop that came extraordinarily close to causing much more damage, possi

kinds of attempts— over and over these kinds of attempts whether it was the assassination of martin luther kinge attack on george _ president kennedy of the attack on george wallace in maryland, the shooting — george wallace in maryland, the shooting of ronald reagan, our friend _ shooting of ronald reagan, our friend and colleague had a shooting here in— friend and colleague had a shooting here in dc— friend and colleague had a shooting here in dc and the unfortunate attack — here in dc and the unfortunate attack and now this matter regarding former— attack and now this matter regarding former president trump. let me try and find _ former president trump. let me try and find to— former president trump. let me try and find to take another walk into this _ and find to take another walk into this. people assume whoever is in charge _ this. people assume whoever is in charge takes full responsibility when — charge takes full responsibility when there has never been, at least on this— when there has never been, at least on this magnitude and scale, this sort of— on this magnitude and scale, this so

sixty's, obviously where political assassinations were a tactic where we saw assassinations, martin luther king, it presidential assassination and never saw that all the way up into the early 19 eighties. and then we really didn't. i mean, in my own lifetime, uh, that certainly was not something that was a possibility. i will say that over the last couple of years that is exactly the kind of thing i was expecting to see. i think others like me in the field. we're expecting to see this because that's the level of threat we were seeing those threats, escalating not just against sitting elected officials, but candidates, librarians, school board members elected officials at the local level, really receiving death threats. and when you see that type of thing, plus you see the successful attempts a political assassination abroad are plots that are broken up as you've had in germany as well. the well, so the like okay, so forgive me for, sorry, jumping out of just wait for some base. the last question in so does, does this assassination attempt against donald trump? does not mock a turning point? you

martin luther king jr. you may have disagreed with that party but at least you could respect it. but this new democrat heart, hiring decisions are based solely on race. justices are only reserved for those with the right opinions where streets are a luxury only for the elite. economic opportunity exists only when you know the right people. right now, the america we all grew up with, the america that we love, feels like an old photograph. where you sit down with your children and tell them what life used to be like. you look back at that america and remember a country that was confident and proud, an america that knew who it was and what it stood for and its can all feel like a distant memory. somewhere along the way we stumbled. somewhere along the way, we lost ourselves but we can't live on analyst a on nostalgia. our greatest days are yet to come. [applause] because no matter how far off that old photo may feel, it is not the end of our story. we're like that man who stood on that platform an felt the bullet pierce his flesh just days ago if pennsylvania. he may have moved to t

there was a comment you made earlier about martin luther king's approval ratings and comparing it to joe. and it reminded me of this documentary, saw king. have you seen king in the wilderness? yes, my dad is in it. yeah. okay. i'll watch it again now. and the reason is there's a scene and this one of my favorite scenes, powerful scenes where king and stokely are walking together and the interview is interviewing them about black power. but you hear their diverge a correct and they just really hit close to home. yeah. so my question is your dad was a best friend of did do you think that their ideological differences do you think that lasted their entire lives or do you think we're closer to king's do you think they're idealized ideologies would have kind of come together they didn't know it. that's a really good question. i appreciative of that question. stokely. see, my dad was really close with dr. king to i joke all the time that dr. king didn't get everything right because he both he before my dad's first wedding and that thing lasts about six months. all right. all right move on.

of his brother robert kennedy, who was the president at that time, and the assassination of martin luther king in 1968. all of these have hidden aspects, although he was introduced as a hitman and murderer, but it is still unclear what his motives were and if it was really him did zarim do this or not, and now this 20-year-old young man who was introduced for this assassination , it is not clear what his motives are because he was killed. there is an issue in some media and it will definitely be addressed, but because it can be mixed with conspiracy theory. you can't rely too much on them, but there is a debate that the secret service, which is responsible for protecting american politicians, has a big weakness and a big hole, that is, at a distance of about 130 meters, when this assailant is on the canvas of the adjacent building. people who were there and have my footage told the police that it was someone it is high, and this delay and the delay that the police and the secret service did, well, there is room for question, now it is not clear, we cannot say whether that conspiracy theory is

martin luther king of but the thing is that this is back and that this country is at this point obviously is absolutely mind boggling, but it is also changing the context. it is also changing the narrative for the campaigns, of course, because you can bet that donald trump and the trump campaign will use this incident, which he survived luckily, but uh, to portray him as strong and decisive as the leader to come versus biden as weak and wary aside and disturbing and shocking day corresponded. 7 simons of motion to pour us. so let's now from some other i have witnesses to the shooting. there it sounded like there are fireworks. and everybody kind of hesitated. like what's happening before trump like swatted a z or you can see that he actually had that in he dropped in. that's when everybody had the initial reaction to draw it to the ground. and it was just, it was just like people were just on top of each other like she was getting, she was getting very light on, on top of her. and so it was crazy. oh, i heard the shocks are attractive to begin with. somebody over there, we screen shot sho

martin luther king here in atlanta. i talk with martin luther king ii.hting for. our economic freedom so we have the ability to not just survive, but thrive in this country. and this is about everyone. we are building multiracial coalitions. we saw that in the crowd today. i had my seniors caucus that were in full effect. and we had our college students. i had my newly minted fourth grader here with me today and everyone is engaged in this campaign. and that is what it is about. this is a forward looking campaign about the future of this country and what can be or someone who is looking to take us back. and we are moving forward, jonathan. >> there is overwhelming support for the vice president among black america but there are those who say the democratic party cannot take black voters for granted. is vice president harris doing enough to speak to the concerns of african americans? >> so vice president harris not only does she have a record to run on, with the biden harris administration, $16 billion invested in our hbcus and no better place to talk abo

and he line of sight for the boardinghouse outside of the rain hotel and knowing waiting for martin luther kingo stand about me there talking about going to dinner when he shot doctor martin luther king is so what type of plenty of think that this young man 20 years old, maybe not at all when into this just knowing, that there was going to be a rally their entity no potentially with the state was and where he could get a line of sight when you think went through that planning maybe there was not much at all and it was spur of the moment. matthew: limited the source of campaign rallies myself from congressional candidate and a source of things they are advertised well in advancing the purpose of these events, is to draw a crowd. that certainly president trump loves to have a crowd, to speak to its of this is certainly going to have that advertised well in advance and so whether this individual event entered read about it top location, just a simple google search, to see what was around their stroke try to find out exactly what is motivation was, for this. it's pretty clear that his desire more t

i not remotely comparing this except to say that after martin luther king was assassinated in 1968, thecities and largely black americans and not all who felt that their government didn't do enough to create a situation where king could be protected. this happens in american life but it is getting to be more of a problem than ever especially now with the number of guns in the hands of even seemingly emotionally disturbed people like that accused shooter yesterday. >> what does the country need to do right now to reverse this rise in political violence? when you think back to when we have had these moments in our history, how do we reverse things? and how do we lower the temperature? >> the one optimistic thing, or at least what we are talking about right now is our system was designed to self correct. when we have a horrible event like what happened yesterday, we say, maybe something brought this about. maybe campaigns are getting too fierce or too many falsehoods flying around. maybe people are throwing around too many personal insults which is what president biden was talking about to

looks like she plagiarized it from a well-documented martin luther king jr. story yet another attempt to rewrite her own history in an effort to court to black voters. let's bring in la county republican party chair... welcome to you both, thank you. i want to play this. on still stunned by it. you might be as well but this is joy reed talking to black voters. >> you are going to look real crazy being on the other side of that line, particularly as a person of colour. but really as anyone who claims to have any connection to the culture. you're gonna look real weird and lonely on that side. >> trace: it's embarrassing to say to yourself, much less on video. >> it's actually super insulting. thank of her having me. i would like to throw a question out to a lot of black americans ... every february they throw up martin luther king about content of character, no colour of skin but every cycle you better or you're not black enough or as joe said you are not like if you don't vote. at this point in time you need to be over it. we are individuals, human beings and

brown, or they recall the famous interview in which the vice president simply appropriated martin luther king's story about himself. today, the most popular search on youtube related to... this laugh became a political meme in the united states, and donald trump called her crazy. because, quote: a normal person cannot laugh like that, and the vice president himself does not plan to limit himself. a week ago, after the assassination attempt on trump, it seemed that fortune finally on his side. after biden's abdication, there was an explosion of enthusiasm among democrats and some confusion among republicans. with such intensity and dynamism, it’s scary to think about. what else will happen in the 3 months remaining before the elections, there is now zero sense in forecasts. the current campaign is very instructive for understanding the nature of modern politics. the dispute is substantial; opponents have different understandings of us interests. trump and his like-minded people can be simply called soil-based nationalists, the democratic elite internationalists, missionaries. both there and ther

in the same period, two leaders of the civil struggles, martin luther king and malcolm x , were killedd especially in the last two decades, this violence and i have some mistakes, ignoring the protocols , not acting on their needs, but passing through this army of security forces. with very advanced security equipment, it is very difficult to, for example , bypass the security service in a scenario the most important thing is that he eats his temple. no one is willing to take such a risk. for example, one of trump's bodyguards might be killed in an accident or a bomb might explode on the road. if all the people are shot, if one person is killed by the speaker, if one person is killed by the assailant , two or three people will not create the impression of a conspiracy . besides, donald trump's position was better than biden's before i was assassinated , and he was better in the polls. the money he collected had a more successful campaign. joe biden's situation is clear now no, it is not known in the democratic party whether he will stay at all or not, so if someone was going to make a

later, then i said that the year sixty-eight was remembered for several high-profile murders, martin luther king killed, kennedy, the president’s brother, was killed. who was also killed, in fact, many said that an attempt could be made on trump’s life, because political murder, alas, is part of the political culture of the united states, well , four presidents were killed, not to mention countless fewer politicians scale, and what, what, what conclusions can be drawn based on the failed assassination attempt on trump, well, many of us have already recorded trump as the winner, i think that he definitely... won, trump also, apparently, recorded himself as the winner, hence the figure of the vice president, why, because the vice president, on the one hand, this position does not mean anything from the point of view of the political process in the united states, although we know many examples when history again pushed them to the first positions, that aka lyndon johnson became president after the assassination of kennedy, well , actually biden was also vice president, we remember this, but usually

told us that joe biden was abraham lincoln, and now the media tells us that kamala harris is martin luther king you believe it? [crowd boos] but we all know she is not mlk just as joe biden is not abraham lincoln. she is a card-carrying member of the san francisco lunatic fringe. isn't that right? [applause] and america is not going to be fooled by the media's lies anymore. [applause] malcolm everybody knows that kamala harris knows every failure of the ultraliberal policies of the last doctor years as america's border czar, and she was the border czar. kamala harris is responsible for the worst border crisis in this nation's history. on her watch, more than 10 million illegal aliens have invaded our country, and it was not by accident, it was by design. [crowd boos] creating this flood of illegal immigration is the purpose of the ultraliberal immigration policy. they said they were going to do it, and they did it on kamala harris' first day in office, they suspended deportation, they stopped building donald trump's border wall, they reinstated catch and release, and they and stated for million

as a call to action when his friend sent cassette tapes across the country with the voice of martin luther king, jr.-he went to selma alabama and [indiscernible] when martin luther king, jr. appeared for a unannounced sermon. we all have a role to play, and we can look forward with anxiety and worry and fear about our future, or we can look forward with optimism and hope. and i have optimism and hope that we with accomplish anything if we do to together, if we fight for each other and love each other and have each other's back. happy juneteenth. i'm honored to stand by you and ght by your side.

martin luther king jr. in '68. many other political black panthers, fred hampton. a long list. it was tragic. it was horrible the amount of deaths. and we felt like we've kind of evolved out of that, that maybe we had put our hate on the internet, that we were doing it in this new -- a less lethal way, even though words matter, but at least you can track what's going on online. it's hard to stop a crazy guy, 20 years old with a rifle. it just means you're going to have to have bigger perimeters and more security. we're becoming a security state nation right now. and then, i think january 6th is the turning point. when then president trump refused to accept the results. he was telling the party the big lie, that biden had won and he was saying he didn't. now for years, we're trying people, what happened on the capitol, and now you're getting an event like this. i think history will condense january 6th with this moment. we're in a fiercely politically torn nation between republicans and democrats. i think in the 1960s, it was more vietnam war hawks having the doves.

i saw the steadfast embrace between rabbi abraham joshua and martin luther king jr.along with a host of other american jewish and black leaders who. together, marched together and in some tragic moments died together.. for voting rights and civil rights. for decades of leadership and presence of joe lieberman, as a fearless advocate for the oneness and freedom of all humanity, who certainly admired not only by me, by others throughout the continuing civil rights movement. last year, at the observance of the 60th anniversary of 1963 march on washington, senator lieberman and i shared a few special personal moments. together, we reflected on the purpose and impact of the march on washington for freedom, justice, and jobs. early one morning last august the two of us actually went back to the steps of the lincoln memorial here in washington we walked together along the reflecting pool. we both began to remember about how it felt to stand there together 60 years ago. and now, to weigh the progress our nation has made toward racial justice and equality. but, last august we

since we are carrying out such historical reminiscences, they killed, let me remind you, king, martin luther kingennedy, who also, by the way, he was nominated for president and for some time even led the primaries, so this was in the history of the united states, quite recently it was, but i sincerely hope. that things won’t come to such parallels, but there really could still be a lot of surprises, so before november 5th there’s a lot that will happen in the united states, well, we’ll see, if in the united states a lot is still unclear, then in the uk , of course, the election result itself is already clear, but there are also interesting moments; for example, i am very interested in how farage will perform. whom everyone there considers almost an agent of putin, but it will be interesting what his result will be, once we remember during the period he played brexit yes...

martin luther king, all of these have hidden aspects that even though he was introduced as a thug andderer, it is still not clear what the motivations were behind the scenes and whether that cruel person really did this or not. now, this 20-year-old young man who was introduced for this assassination, it is not clear what his motives are because he was killed once there are issues in some media and they are definitely addressed, but because they can be mixed with conspiracy theories, they cannot be cited much , but one thing is that the secret service, which is responsible for protecting american politicians, has a great weakness and a the big hole is that at a distance of about 130 meters, when this assailant was present on the canvas of the adjacent building, the people who were around and have my footage tell the police that someone is upstairs and that the delay and that the delay that the police did and secret service, well, there is room for question, now it is not known, we cannot say whether is that conspiracy theory true? was there really a loophole, was there a fraud or was

martin luther king breakfast. he pulled martin luther king iii said i think i'm going to run.t this guy did in charlottesville needs to be stopped. he started real bad. he came in fourth or fifth in iowa. fourth or fifth in new hampshire. and then went to south carolina. and i was there the morning having a breakfast meeting with 300 ministers. and he and jim clyburn came in and clyburn said he was going to endorse him later that day. he did which turned his campaig to change the course of this nation's history. by stopping a dictatorship that was on its way. and a catastrophe. so he's a great man. people should get their kids to watch him tonight because they're looking at a great man who really meant what he said he wanted to save the republic. i couple that with kamala harris, who said, that the baton now is in our hand. and i hope when people watch this great man tonight, when it's other, they'll know the baton is now in all of our hands to save this country. this is not an election. this is a selection on which way this country is going to go. are we going to select going
