muhammad ali. well, you might have thought he was saying something treasonous because for the next four or five years, major american newspapers refuse to refer to him by the name he preferred. he wanted to be muhammad ali. the american sporting media, which, you talk about the establishment and how anti-change it was at the time, among the most reactionary of institutions has to be the american sports media. 1968, this is four years after muhammad ali made a simple request to be called muhammad ali. none of the american newspapers were referring to him as muhammad ali. one guy at the inquirer, of all places, sandy pathway, had a social conscious. he was a progressive at a conservative institution. he wrote about muhammad ali and called him muhammad ali in his column. i found this one column that betrays this whole issue in an interesting light. portrays this whole issue in an interesting light. throughout the column, he was talking about how he had been banned from boxing because he refused to joi

i will leave you with what muhammad ali used to say. someone went up to mom elliott to -- -- someone went up muhammad ali and said, i always i got knocked down one time. muhammad ali said, i've never been knocked down. either getting up or getting back up. we have to solve the great problems of our time! thank you so much! [applause]

that's what muhammad ali was told. i keep referring back to ali because, even in 1968, he was the most transcendent character out there in the sports world. he changed the world forever, really. he changed the way the relationship between the media and athletes took place. he changed how athletes could be themselves. i think before, they had to play this role. and muhammad ali said no, i'm going to be who i want to be and you can't tell me i can't. that's the most lasting aspect of the 60's is how people in general are free to be themselves. >> for people who do seek to put their voice out there and seek to take on a more activist role, i think it's wonderful and i highly applaud it, even understanding the difficulties they encounter with it. there are so many out there i would love to take on more of an activist role because they have the visibility and potency to perhaps get across to their local community and fans in ways that are unique to the sports world, especially in today's day and age. but i also understand an

speaking told his hero muhammad ali said that israel was fabricating the nature of iran's involvement in the country. in accordance with international laws we have a presence in syria but there is no specific iranian military base there we may have a presence in some syrian bases for kind of consultative training so israel's claim is devoid of truth jamal he also had a warning for israel saying that the days when countries in the region did not respond to acts of israeli aggression are over so much as we have a remark from the supreme leader that the era of hits and run has gone before the iranian revolution and even until recently israel attacked syria several times bombed them bombed military bases to avoid direct will syria chose self-preservation even in iraq in the saddam era israel hit the atomic power plants whenever the zionists wanted they would break the sonic wall and attack the south of lebanon and syria iraq and other countries so far they haven't seen any response but recently they saw the f.

sherman jackson who said very eloquently that with the death of muhammad ali that in his death there should be no question of the compatibility between islam and being american, being muslim and american. what ali did and many others was basically make it very visible for the american experience to see that there is muslim presence, muslim influence. so muhammad ali, kareem abdul-jabbar, dave chappelle, mark rock, these are well known individuals that with an african-american communities they happen to be muslim that are used to multiple faith traditions within muslim -- within families of african-american experience. even in the relation of pop music and hip hop you see the influence of african-american muslim identity as well. so i framed that just to give you a context to understand that american muslims themselves and particularly african-american muslims, have been engaging in a conversation of being both american and muslim from the very beginning and this journey from that period onwards. so there essentially was this gap before i get into the report it's important to frame the

jack johnson was the inspiration of many, including muhammad ali. this is a great day for the sport, a great day for humanity. i'm very proud to be here with the best ambassador boxing has ever had. >> i agree with that. >> sylvester stallone, motivated so many generations. and one of the greatest champions in the history of boxing and our current king. it is an unbelievable day for us and all i can say, just the way you promoted our sport in the 90s, you're doing so many things now for the sport of boxing which is unbelievable, and we cannot thank you you enough. >> and our country is doing great. we are really doing great. lennox lewis one of the great cham champions of all time in my opinion. i know a lot of them. he is one of the great champions, tremendous physical talent but also has a thing called heart. and lennox i guess you saw a lot of talented guys and you were looking down at them -- [laughter] >> but lennox had tremendous heart and has tremendous heart. would you like to say something about jack johnson? >> yeah, you know, jack johnson

muhammad ali was probably the most beloved athlete in this country when he died.how he first became famous with a lot of the people who are castigating these players now. when he refused to enter the draft at the end of the 1960s. these owners got rolled today by the president of the united states. who originally gave that speech at a crowd in alabama, that looked like an s.e.c. football crowd in the 1950s, okay? you can start there. and here's another question. for all of these people who have made this a referendum on patriotism, what's better for our country's values? somebody engaging in honorable protests or a league like the nfl who has blackballed the guy who started all of this, colin kaepernick's, for taking a knee in the first place? you know, i was laughing today thinking about, why would any player want to take a knee anymore? because they know that it could now cost them their careers the way it has colin kaepernick's and eric reid, who knelt behind him. this had nothing to do with politics or morality or principle or courage. this was about business

that is why muhammad ali is a hero to my generation. protesterst the war were significant to ending the war because they drove lyndon johnson out of office. he wasn't going to be affected. that was because the protesters put so much pressure on him. my question for mr. stanton, who i think is a hero, to, when robert mcnamara, who wrote his book about 15 years ago in which thatid that they all knew it was an unwinnable, untenable tragedy, how did you -- how did that make you feel? that give you feelings of doubt as a soldier? or should he have taken it to his grave? host: i saw you nodding your head. did you want to respond? i mean, i think, you know, a number of soldiers that i've spoken with, a marine who gave up a rhodes scholarship to go to vietnam to fight and lead recallingand 68 was what was revealed in the pentagon papers the memo to johnson saying that the chances for victory are no better than one in three. we are probably not going to win, but recommending escalation and johnson going along with that in subsequent revelations

i saw militants are thought to have been gathering let's now cross live to a local journalist muhammad ali who works for press t.v. thanks for being with us on such short notice what more do we know at this point what's the situation there on the ground. yes one official a minute for the source syrian army source issued a statement just about thirty minutes ago confirming that sack and saying that some of the syrian army position were under attack and described it as an aggression by the u.s. but coalition attacking from syrian army position between book and me me area those are in syria's eastern desert what is important to note too according to the syrian army treatment as fronts and aggression as the syrian army described it to come out there were dies also known as i told terrorist gathering nearby and the syrian army said that the aggression by the with the coalition only left behind. material damage without noting that there were any casualties definitely this is not the first time that the u.s. but for this in the time syrian army position do you think that's happened near as also w

and that is why muhammad ali is a hero to my generation. think the war protesters were significant to ending the war because they drove lyndon johnson out of office. he knew he would not be reelected, so he withdrew from the possibility of the nomination. i think that was because the protesters put so much pressure on him. my question for mr. stanton, who i think is a hero, too, when robert mcnamara, who wrote his book 15 years ago, in which he said that they all knew that it was an untenable, unwinnable tragedy. how did that make you feel? did that vindicate your feelings of doubt as a soldier? or do you think he should have taken it to his grave? paul: lynn novick, i thought i saw you nodding your head. did you want to respond? lynn: i think a number of voters we spoke with, in particular a marine who gave up a rhodes scholarship to go to vietnam and fight, to lead a platoon in 1968, he was recalling what was revealed in the pentagon papers, which is mcnamara's memo to johnson in 1965, saying the chances for victory are no better than one

the skids for what will be controversial athletes and players many many years later including muhammad aliday officially pardoned by the president of the united states. all right, a couple of big developments we're watching here including the justice department , already holding briefings and a lot about north korea and you name it, so first on the north korea figure the implications of a president who is saying do you know what? i'm in no rush to have a meeting and that means i don't get a nobel peace prize i can deal with that. lee carter is here, national political reporter kaitlyn, lee surprised? >> i'm not surprised i thought this is going to be a rocky road i was surprised it went as smoothly as it did up until now and we've seen this president very high threshold for chaos. he's not going to take any nonsense. my big question is whose blamed for this disagreement we're having right now is it north korea for not keeping their promises or is it john bolton and mike pence for likening north korea to libya which is depending on where you sit whether you support the president or not, is

. >> i mean, former presidents, muhammad ali. >> yeah, i formed a friendship, good friendship with muhammad relationship with jimmy carter. met and/or interviewed six presidents. it always amazed me how so many of these amazingly famous people who came through "gma" were excited to meet us. they saw us as celebrities, as well. >> so we saw you all those years but we didn't know. we did not know what was going on in your life being addicted to gambling. >> yeah, when i began to be acknowledge to myself that it was a problem, i was embarrassed. i felt guilty, and i didn't want my friends and colleagues and public to know because i didn't want to be viewed as someone who was stupid and foolish. how can a smart guy make such dumb decisions in his life? >> when you wrote about the fbi calling. and even though they ended up saying that you were on the up and up. >> right, right. >> it was a real wake-up call for you. > what happened was during those gambling days, you know, before every gambling trip i'd go to three or four banks where i had accounts and take cash out the. i would go off. when i

muhammad ali. this is how the elementary school third graders presented their oral book report. the teacher has to touch them and activate them and they become whoever their book report is about. it's great. thomas jefferson, walt disney an more. >> good luck eagles. >> i can't wait for my son to do that. either hard to turn him off. he'll be waiting. i don't know where he gets it. >> i don't either. >> kari, take this one. >> we've been following breaking news. we continue to keep you updated on those fires that have been happening around byron. we've just learned that one home has burned. so here is a look at some live video coming to us as the sunrises. you can still see those flames and the smoke as fire crews continue to try to get containment on this. the one thing that's kind of been fueling these fires, dry conditions, and also wind speeds, we still have gusty winds. right now wind speeds coming in from the southwest at 29 miles per hour. it's still quite gusty there. that will possible continue to give us unfavorable conditions as the morning goes along. at least it's c

i think if it was a fighter, he would be muhammad ali in his prime. we're perfect on consumption, investment, government spending, all the things and you compare it with europe that is sputtering. they really are. and it's largely because of policy in my opinion. so consumers, i don't think it's going to get out of whack, i think it's the perfect economy and i think it's going to continue to be so and largely because we're governing it, smartly. charles: so the spike we saw in the 10-year yield, the strength in the dollar, the market being down on those developments. are you not concerned, do you think this is natural and we should be celebrating the fact that finally the yields are going up? >> i think we should be celebrating. it says that we have a strong economy. it says that we're doing the right things on policy. president trump put forth a policy whether it was tax cuts or relentless regulation execution that has set the platform. compare this to europe, they're sputterring on policy. compare to other countries. policy has been the difference i

howard cosell which everybody liked in the old days, his relationship with muhammad ali, that relationship was wonderful. we loved the fun of that. then he made the comment about the guy running like a monkey and got comment and jimmy the greek they don't have the necessaries, i think duke here in d.c. what do you think of the prime orderal voices, not the tricky political stuff but when it comes out what people really think or sound like they think? >> there are two issues here. one, most people who say racist things will never even at gunpoint admit they're racist. there's nothing that you can do to convince them that they're racist. there's a woman who said that it's about time we get someone in the white house who looks like a real first lady. >> wow. >> and later in an interview, she said i'm not racist. that's the problem. and in her own heart because she's decide with no evidence that she can present to herself that she's not racist. and that's the problem that we have to face in this country, the people who are unaware of their own bigotry. in this country, people are going to do e

. >> and when you look back at the life of legends like muhammad ali, we talked a whole lot about the ground he covered in this space as much as we did about his athletic accomplishments. chris, thank you for 13e7spendi time with us. we'll be calling you back. >>> a man known as new york city's tac"taxi king," i didn't know that was a thing, a plea deal, what that could mean for the president's former fixer. find the remote yet? nah. honey look, your old portable cd player. my high school rethainer. oh don't... it's early 90s sitcom star dave coulier... cut...it...out!

stephanie, who died the most popular athlete on earth, muhammad ali. what would the base now -- what would trump's base have said in the late '60s when he refused to enter the draft and go and fight in vietnam? that was extremely unpopular with the base at the time. he became a beloved figure in this country. my father is a world war ii hero. i said to him yesterday, what do you think? he said, i don't think they should be doing that stuff. i said, let me ask you a question. what's less american, taking a knee as honorable dissent about all of the things you just listed or black balling footballers, in their prime? like colin kaepernick and eric reid. for the stance they took by taking a knee. >> let's actually show. because one of the reasons they're taking a knee is because of injustice. the irony of it, is just happened this week. i want to actually -- do we have the video? milwaukee police released this disturbing body cam video last night of an incident from january where officers tackles and tased nba star sterling brown, despite the fact -- i be

coming up in the next hour, muhammad ali and -- mohamed -- mohamednd el-erian.atehave stepped up for races. it is a reflection to a certain extent of the reaction to donald trump's election. many of these women tell us they expected hillary clinton to win they felthe did not, it is important for them to step up and take charge. thatis story makes clear there is no guarantee that women are going to dominate the wind count -- the wind count. is the.: that interesting thing. what happens to the composition of the house? >> it is still up for grabs. trump supporters, female trump supporters, who are among the women running unopposed by democrats. so it is unclear exactly how congress.translate in david w.: we put up a graph for a moment that shows if you look at women republicans versus democrats, many more democrats for women. a big gender gap. number of these women are asked military people. which is not the traditional demographic profile. so it is clear that the democrats have chosen these people carefully. and if the money is there than they have a fairly good

the nfl players are doing peaceful protests, no different than muhammad ali and white athletes throughoutmerican history. they do nots decide want them to have a peaceful protest, i would love for the players to not only stay in the locker room, but not come out of the locker room. one caller mentioned it was about money. that the ratings are going down. money is playing a factor. imagine if none of the players actually go on to the field on opening day? i'm a huge football fan. i have family members that are currently playing in the league. support anyone peacefully protesting as long as it is their right to do so. a veteran should not decide what is most important for this country. the flag is there to represent all of us and the things that divide us, as well as the things that can bring us together. i wholeheartedly support those players and athletes. i hope they literally don't come out of the locker room. i guarantee we will really see a ratings drop. host: opposing the nfl's decision. news, north korea says it destroyed its nuclear test site. only one broadcast network corresponden

muhammad hid their instruments from i.s. religious police. now, they play music once again, for themselves, and for others. scenes like this give aliope for a better future for his beloved, long-suffering city. host: when war and terror dominate, human rights abuses are rarely far behind, which makes a mockery of the un's charter and declaration of human rights. this list of rights is long. from freedom from torture, to protection from imprisonment. but it's nowhere near as long as the list of human rights offences in the world. myanmar's army, , for examplp, useses brute fororce against e natition's rohingya a minority. many obsbservers call itit geno. hundrereds of thousasands of rohingya h have fled too neighborining bangladeshsh in china, freedom of secech remamains little m more than a nominanal right. anyoyone daring toto criticize governrnment policy faces imprisonment, or worse. when human rights are under threat, those who fight for them are needed more than ever. reporter: september, 2014. it was a night of terror in iguala, mexico. armed men attacked several buses, killing six people and abducting 43 students who were on
