nelson mandela chose the cowards die many times before their death but the brave tested only but oncey but once. once more to the bridge. this is what circulated on robin island. it became the most powerful document that people could read. my uncle was on robin island. he said he read 12th night read. my uncle was on robin island. he said he read i2th night and did not understand what the hell was going on was a it fascinates me to think of those prisoners.” going on was a it fascinates me to think of those prisoners. i want to ta ke think of those prisoners. i want to take you back the lot —— before the apartheid's regime and a young man in the 50s and then in the 60s as you chose acting as your career. it was an extraordinary difficult time for yourfamily. your was an extraordinary difficult time for your family. your family suffered a great deal under the apartheid regime. but if you want to be an actor? actually i wanted to be a lawyer but then exactly when i was accepted a lawyer but then exactly when i was a cce pted to a lawyer but then exactly when i was accepted to go and stu

nelson mandela was a political prisoner.political prisoners have no due process and are unjustly jailed. you -- you had a jury convict you. you had appeals courts look at your sentencing, and you even tried -- you even appealed to the supreme court twice, and they refused to hear you. so you're hardly a political prisoner. >> well, first of all, nelson mandela went to -- before a court. he was convicted in a court of law. i had -- >> by a racist apartheid government. >> that's correct. >> and not a jury of his peers. >> if you would ask -- i bet if you were to ask nelson mandela whether he thought the process was fair back in the early '60s in south africa he would say what i'm saying today -- >> sir, portraying -- i've got to stop you. i'm sorry, as someone who worked in south africa and saw apartheid, the idea that are you are comparing yourself to somebody who has actually been railroaded by an apartheid system is just nuts. and frankly, like offensive -- >> no, you're the one making the comparison. not me. i didn't bring

i didn't bring up nelson mandela. you did. >> you're saying like him you were railroaded by a an all white jury for an oppressive regime. >> you're putting words in my mouth. i never said that either. there were -- the jury was -- had -- you know, some representation from african-americans, though, what i'm saying is i was thrown in prison and spent nearly eight years in prison for practicing politics, for seeking campaign contributions without a quid pro quo. no express quid pro quo and i was given the same standards senator menendez was given. i could very well have been in the u.s. senate instead of where i was. now, i'm not complaining that i'm not in the senate but i am complaining that i was sent to prison by a handful of corrupt prosecutors who are abusing their power, they're uncontrolled and they're the ones that chief justice breyer talked about when he said that our country is in trouble because of these uncontrolled prosecutors who can do just about anything they want to do and are using their power to go

. >> i'm thinking back, some of you may be familiar with nelson mandela.ember that? and his fight for freedom in south africa and people marching to the polls and thinking about the civil rights movement? while we are fighting to change america. >> first i want to clarify two things. the leader right now in terms of delegates because this is about delegates, is mayor pete buttigieg. he's the lead in delegates and bernie sanders is the leader in the polls and of course joe biden might bounce back, elizabeth warren might resurface and we don't know what happen. this race is still very fluid, only 65 delegates have been apportioned. wait until super tuesday with 1,357 delegates. we have a long way to go. but here's what i want to say to bernie sanders and his supporters. bernie has a movement and he also has a rhythm. when you have both movement and rhythm people are attached to your candidacy so right now, what we have seen, bernie 2016 and bernie 2020, the rhythm is back and the movement must resurface. we will see if that movement resurfaces in a couple of

the details next. >> we came back from south africa trying to seem nelson mandela and getting arrestedg to see him on robin's island when he was in prison. you go. just spray, wipe and rinse. it cleans grease five times faster. new dawn powerwash. spray, wipe, rinse. you've been hearing a lot about 5g. but there's 5g... and then there's verizon 5g. we're building the most powerful 5g experience for america. it's more than 10 times faster than some other 5g networks. and it's rolling out in cities across the country. so people can experience speeds that ultra wideband can deliver. 1.7 gigs here in houston. 1.8 gigs here in frigid omaha. almost 2 gigs here in los angeles. that's outrageous. it's like an eight-lane highway compared to a two-land dirt road. >> i think i got pretty strong already. >> martha: joe biden making his final push in south carolina tonight ahead of the primary tomorrow, considered a must win for his campaign. holding a comfortable lead, 20 points in that poll in the latest fox news poll in south carolina. the earlier this week, he's facing controversy with the stor

nelson mandela was a political prisoner.e, you were convicted. you had an appeals court look at your sentencing and you even appealed to the supreme court twice, and they refused to hear you. so you're hardly a political prisoner. >> well, first of all, nelson mandela went before a court, had was convicted in a court of law. >> right. by a racist apartheid government. >> that's correct. >> and in nigeria -- >> and i'm -- if you were to ask nelson mandela whether he thought the process was fair back in the early '60s in south africa, he could say what i'm saying today. >> now, blagojevich spent eight years in federal prison before his release on tuesday. >>> still to come, senator bernie sanders leads the national field in nevada. rival candidates are starting to switch up their strategies. we'll talk about that. on top of severe ptsd, will take you down in the dump. after several denials, when i went to aspen dental, they gave me a free exam, free x-rays. the doctor comes in and then he's like, "you are in pain, so we're goi

. >> i think back now and some of you may be familiar with nelson mandela, remember that in his fight for freedom of south africa and people marching to the polls and thinking about the civil rights movement, well we are fighting to change america. >> skipping the fact that bernie sanders is no nelson mandela, sanders is essentially saying america, usa is just like apartheid south africa. isn't that offensive? >> i would not have agreed with that comment but as you know there's a lot of things i don't agree with bernie sanders on. i don't think that's the question being asked. the question we are being asked is, as a democrat would we vote for bernie sanders versus donald trump. by the way, i would not put either one of them in my top two. i do think, to steve's point policies matter. democrats think more about climate change and think more about gum reform and other issues. he may not view those as his most important. no disrespect, i do. that's why we have a vote and elections matter. >> if it goes south because policies that you agree are bad policies on varney's part, would that n

nelson mandela chose "cowards die many times before their death, but the brave taste it only but oncese "0nce more to the bridge". so this is what circulated on robben island. it became the most powerful document that people could read. my uncle was on robben island. he said he read twelfth night and did not understand what the hell was going on. laughs. it is fascinating for me to think of those political prisoners still reading their shakespeare and finding so much of relevance in it. but i want to take you back long before 911, the release of mandela, liberation fro the apartheid's regime. i want to take you back to being a young man in the ‘50s and then in the ‘60s as you chose acting as your career. it was an extraordinary difficult time for yourfamily. your family suffered a great deal under the apartheid regime. why did you want to be an actor? actually i wanted to be a lawyer but then exactly when i was accepted to go and study at the university, my uncle was arrested and sent to robben island and my dad looked at me and said, i'm sorry. i know you wanted to go to university,
