miss robinson. laurie: you rightly point out that training is important and stressed is really there for police officers to deal with. i will say that there are different situations that are very limited, in which police officers do need, unfortunately, to use lethal force. if there is a hostage situation and a hostage is about debbie killed, and there are offenders with guns and somebody has a chance to rescue that hostage, we can think of situations where violent drug gangs or whatever it might be, that in that rare situation, there may be a need for lethal force. that is why it is authorized by law for police officers to use. the problem is, those events should be extraordinarily rare. pedro: gary in orlando, florida. you are next. hello. laurie robinson my name is gary -- caller: my name is gary robinson. -- my name is gary. i grew up in new york city. my father worked for new york city transit. i assumed the police were good, but in 1977, december 3, i went to church, came home, with my brother

mary robinson.th ellen. i think boys sense, in a lot of cultures, that they are valued more than girls, and then they see their role models — they see the president is a man, the prime minister is a man, judges are all men, and itjust reinforces that sense that men are more important and therefore have that sense of entitlement. that's what we need to change. so both of you think it's a cultural problem, it's not something that can be addressed with legislation? because faith is asking, you know, why there is a sense of male entitlement, and it seems to be resistant to even good laws trying to eradicate it. i think laws can help. removing laws that discriminate can help and also, you know, a kind of an educational change based on equality — which is what generation equality, the forum that is taking place in mexico and paris this year, is all about. it's all about asserting the true equality and the more women who hold high office in various ways and leadership at local level, the more we will addre

mary robinson, what is your answer? thank you. women in leadership are oftenjudged differently than men. the traits that are valued in men, like decisiveness, assertiveness, old action, can sometimes be seen as shrill, bossy, all the negative terms when a woman is doing exactly the same thing. that is a cultural trait itself. i actually think the best way to counter it is to ignore it. i remember when i was elected president of ireland in 1990, i was the first woman president and i was absolutely determined to do it confidently, feeling that actually i would do a betterjob precisely because i was a woman. i didn't want to be seen as being the likely men, i wanted to do it differently and use all my skills and leadership qualities as a woman to do the job and i think that is the way to counter it. ellenjohnson sirleaf, societal expectations of women, they shouldn't fight in combat or go into space and not be too confident, what do you think about this? if these values, articulate, direct, were the ones that are attributed to women,

pastor robinson would die in leydon before he made it. not everyone would come over. that initial vision was never fully realized. you see bradford very depressed towards the end of his life as plymouth expands, town after town, you think that's a success, right? no, for bradford that was a defeat. what he wanted was that congregation recreated. as people like edward winslow and miles standish and john aldon move to duxbury and beyond, bradford saw this as a diminishment of what they should be. so that was a true surprise. and, you know, the other side, the second half of the book, was the impact of king philip's war. i was acquainted with king philip's war but had -- you know, you have to read the -- there's dozens if not hundreds of letters, many of them unpublished, about the war. there's an incredible treasure trove of information, not only narratives such as church's but mary rowlinson's narrative. she would have several meals with philip, knit a cap for his son and provide firsthand information about what was going on. and yet it's a very harrowing family saga t

one of my favorites is eddie robinson from texas. he's 99. he will be 100. i interviewed him and dr. bobby brown very early when covid broke out. they are fearless. they are exactly like these guys that we are describing. this is core value in them. they are fearless, they are resilient. they see the other side of this. they know people who died from the spanish flu. people who got polio. they have been lieu the war. i asked eddie robinson, are you worried, you are in your late '90s. he said hell no. we are going to get through this. it is a joy. i come away with this -- if there is anything we can do, we can sped joy and hope for the next generation and the whole country to get through this. bill i know you have comments on this as well from the guys that you interviewed me. >> i thank anne for introducing me to this whole subject. one of the people that she mentioned to me was al naples. he is from massachusetts. he played in the major leagues later on. but there's a famous time when babe ruth also came to fenway park for an exhibition game. there were som

the soldier suspected of killing guillen aaron robinson shot and killed himself as police attempted to. >> so, we're going to dedicate a gate that has her name, has her picture. you can learn about vanessa. but mostly so two, three, four years we haven't forgotten what this is all about, what this moment is about in our history. >> guillen's relatives say she was sexually harassed by robinson and others before her death. in december, the army said 14 leaders at ft. hood were fired or suspended after an independent investigation found a permissive environment for sexual assault and harassment. >>> and "the washington post" says nfl quarterback alex smith announced his retirement after a remarkable comeback from a serious leg injury. the 36-year-old comeback player of the year made the announcement yesterday in an instagram video. smith's return to action last october with the washington football team, almost two years after suffering a compound leg fracture that required 17 operations. he also survived a life-threatening infection. smith was released by washington in march. >>> still ah

natasha robinson, i want to thank you and the next generation, the next generation of justice seekers. dion, thank you very much. boswell, thank you. i want to thank so many people. we are going to close our comments right now and just say we are prepared to continue to pursue justice. thank you. and get more information on >> u.s. attorney general merrick garland announced the u.s. justice department was opening a civil investigation. the new probe will be separate from an ongoing federal criminal investigation into the death of george floyd. be will be separate from an ongoing criminal investigation into the death of mr. floyd. attorney general garland: good morning. like so many of you i closely watched the event in minnesota. although the state's prosecution was successful, i know that nothing can fill the void that the loved ones of george floyd have felt since his death. my heart goes out to them and to all those who have experienced similar loss. i know such wounds have deep roots, and that too many communities have experienced those wounds firsthand. yesterday's verdict in the

and civil rights leader richard robinson, activist, president of color of change. lots of titles for richard. joining us from new york. let's start here with you, richard. is this the verdict you expected and your reaction to it? >> this was the verdict that we hoped for when the jury came back so quickly. we were expecting some level of conviction. i mean, i think this is important. i think accountability is incredibly important. and now we have to continue to build on the momentum that the movement has created. we would not be here without a sustained movement keith ellison would never have had the case without the pressure. so now we end up in a push for the type of deep systemic change because 12 people in a jury can't deliver justice. it's going to be millions of people all around the country that are going to have to work to change the rules that incentivized this type of behavior from police and allow it to happen over and over. >> i want to pull that thread from you, and i notice that you are making a distinction between accountability and justice, which so

robinson was a first lieutenant in the united states air force before that, and a short time ago he toldi about soviet mig planes, missiles and submarines in cuba. >> how many would you say they have there? >> at the time that i was there, the last count was somewhere around 35. they might have more because there has been quite a few shipping in and out -- >> have you seen the russians? >> yes, i have. i've seen them on quite a few occasions, and, also, i've seen chinese. >> what about -- we've heard these rumors of rockets and so forth in cuba. what have you heard about them? >> i understand in that area that they have actually started production of rockets in that area. i'm not sure sure, but i've never seen it myself, but i have had, there have been reports from reliable sources that they were there, and, also, the airfields they've wanted to expand for larger-type aircraft. >> have you ever heard anything about the rumors of a submarine base being built there? >> yes, we have. we have heard many rumors, many of the people will talk about -- believe they're starting a sub base and som

eugene robinson and mike murphy are with us. strength of donald trump's endorsement of mo brooks. >> brooks is an embarrassment to the republican party and the great state of alabama. you know, his thuggish demeanor and involvement in january is evident as the clip showed. no surprise trump loves him. alabama is a republican state and if he can win the republican primary to the shame of alabama, he has a good chance to be the next senator from there and his clown show will be elevated, unfortunately. >> eugene, we were just putting up this thing on the screen. i want to show my viewers on the screen again. he said that biden is governing from the new center while republicans are catering to the far side with rhetoric and anti-democratic action such as bills to restrict voting. those of us on the center-right can't afford a third party flirtation. we need to become biden republicans. evaluate max's take on that please. >> well, he became a biden republican in the general election in 2020. i think that it makes sense. i think that

i am joined by shaq brewster, david henderson and eugene robinson. welcome. we have been covering the police testimony. it has been critical. the sergeant and lieutenant, most senior officer of the department have taken us through george floyd's death. tell us how this day played out. >> reporter: the testimony started to pick up before the recess. as they got into the talk of force and training. we just got notes from reporters inside the room. remember, two reporters allowed in the courtroom. the reporter notes that the line of questioning with lieutenant zimmerman about handcuffs, use of force got jurors to pay more attention with notes. we know jurors have become fidgety, but when they got on the detail of use of force. the sound you just heard, it seems that many of them started picking up their pens and papers and taking notes. that's a pattern throughout the trial. these jurors have been taking notes, sometimes flipping back to previous pages and adding to their previous notes. andrea, you are seeing the development of the prosecution and laying out th

this has nothing to do with jackie robinson. it has nothing to do with race. here's what this is about. ed -- the democrats want us to have an election month. the republicans don't. we want to go back to an election day. the democrats oppose requiring an i.d. before you can vote. republicans think we should in the interest of ballot security. democrats want to make legal ballot harvesting. republicans don't. ballot harvesting is where you pay somebody to go around and ask people to vote by mail and you collect their ballots and then you bring them to the ballot box. i'm is not saying it's inherently fraudulent, but fraud can occur. that's all this dispute is about. the other point i'd make is that the democrats want to pass speaker pelosi's bill, hr-1 in would federalize election. basically what speaker pelosi's bill would do is take everything that went wrong in the last presidential election and make it the law. none of this is about race. these woke leftists just obsess about race. they think about race. the fact is, most americans think about character. th

still with us, eugene robinson and rick murphy. maybe i should try print.ey mike, along those same lines, you would think republicans across the country would be exhausted after their voter suppression efforts. but no, that other newspaper the new york times reports this. republican legislatures in oklahoma and iowa have passed bills granting immunity to drivers whose vehicles straight can injure protesters, in public streets. mike that's a good look, imagine the branding opportunities there. >> well look, political stupidity tends to have unlimited energy. there are two things going on here, i'm with senator mcconnell, i think a lot of the two trillion dollar infrastructure, bill by the way that's half the cost of world war ii to the u.s. government in adjusted real dollars, a lot of it is very broadly defined infrastructure. there's only about a nickel on the dollar that the roads highways and bridges, and i'm for a trillion dollar infrastructure spending, there's good stuff in the bill, but what you saw from leader mcconnell was the attempt to start deba

gone a different way, we would be having an entirely different conversation >> all right eugene robinson, thank you for talking with us. joining me now is former hennepin county public defender mary moriarty. mary, the jury deliberated for less than a day. we said somewhere around 11 hours. what do you make of this verdict and what could it mean for minneapolis and the country? >> after hearing closing arguments and the trial itself, i didn't expect that the jury would be out very long in fact, i thought that they would come back today. and that's because the state did an excellent job of presenting medical testimony, everything they needed, use of force testimony. and the defense really wasn't able to counter much of that in some respects, i think this is everything to this community right now. but in other respects it's just the first step people heard our chief, madeira arradondo, talk about his values, his ethics, which he very much believes in. he's a reformer. but we also know every day that cops like chauvin continue to engage in this kind of behavior. it just doesn't rise to the
