This is a tough business away until I know you're a tough guy idea by its and we need to have a leader, real you're, never gonna. Be president. I really scientists all your way to live. Like forty, two in Europe, three sends out a ladder, I'm doing one of them. Time? Donald Trump insulted Job Bush, jabs son. However, asked his lot with the former president in a bid for taxes attorney general. Taxes is precious and we must protect them under the leadership of President Trump or country was strong and vibrant again. So how did tromp return the favor by endorsing George P, bushes republican rival That's where you know we're! We ve been trying to tell People for that five years now tried to tell Paul Ryan often on air before.

He endorse Donald Trump, a day or two after we call him a racist that he's a bull you don't you you do don't let go with volleys? And you don't grovel, because when you grovel with Bali's, they spit in your face That's what's happened time and time again with Republicans and yet again all these grovelling. What is again the Republican Party well minor, status in the Senate, minorities in the house, they ve lost the White House. They now seem to be they there. There too were the two main planks right now seem to be voodoo. When it comes to health care letting We continue to die there. There there on the side, with wild anti backs conspiracy, theorists and, and then basically for giving the violence of what

happen on January, the sex trying to forget the violence trying to ignore the insurrection so voodoo and violence. That's really that's really not something that a party wants decide up with it, make again that one this personal front, you can night suck up to a ball it never works. It didn't work for Paul Ryan, it didn't work for the Republican Party and it didn't work for Georgia George people share, a guy who I followed, career and really what I saw its unfortunate So the way well I mean all. I had to deal with psych say what happened over the past four years and he would have none with his fate was right and also make really quickly. Sudan, with TED crews and zones. Stable Donald Trump suggested the TED crews, father assassinated John F Kennedy.

Ted crews said the Ugh Donald terms are the ugliest things about keg crews? why just shameful things and and TED crews through his family, under the bus, politically and and basically kept sucking up to guy. You insulted his family, it's just it's not something that we really seen in Washington where people can insult family members and- and you still have this- this is big suck up- that we just keep saying and it ever pays off in never pays off. That's it. The guy just full, never understand these. These people suck up to tramp in it never pays off for them to cod five million people voted for a guy who was Willingly letting people die from the corona virus, hundreds of thousands of people aside, even

exaggeration or metaphor its occult, and you see that called, but then the GEO, p there's a split between those who remembers members event and those who are not- and you can see it- full display. Is Congress begins the investigation into the January sixth insurrection, Kevin Mccarthy Occult Member is now taking shots at members of his own party for their willingness to serve- and it all comes at another perilous point for the country. The body politic has been so poisoned that Americans would rather get cove, then a vaccine to keep them alive and we'll talk about ways to change that. But if you watch torture, Yesterday, you heard Joe making a strong push for seen mandates for healthcare workers, nursing homes, teachers and other employees under federal jurisdiction.

And ass the day went on, we saw a number of new vaccine mandates rolled out across the country, California, New York City. requiring vaccinations or weekly testing for all their employees and Department of Veterans Affairs is now the first federal agency to issue a vaccine mandate which would require frontline workers to perceive Kobe vaccine shots. a moment NBC gave who cherish, has a report from Alabama the state with the lowest vaccination rate in the country, but first and they news correspondent Miguel like air- has the latest on the pivot toward mandates. Well for any fall surge. Some hospitals across the nation are already struggling to manage the sixty thousand new daily covert infections plaguing the. U S. As I

see use Philip some model suggests our nation could see upwards of four thousand deaths a day by October The one hundred million Americans who are on vaccinated driving the number and the risk, even for those who are inoculate if you allow the virus to freely circulate because so many people are on vaccinated, you give it yet again another opportunity to mutate even more anyway, wind up with creating a variant that, in fact is alludes to protection of the vaccine as new inoculations Plateau five and modernity at the FDA, urging our expanding the size of their vaccine studies in children, five to elaborate and made a rare reports of heart inflammation and younger Americans a prick Watching move like the idea of bringing back now indoors nation. Why said to be under active consideration scene,

who is county, joining Savannah Georgia in re implementing the policy. These numbers are to alarming to ignore as me, Your medical organization say vaccination should be mandatory for healthcare workers. The department of Veterans Affairs became the first federal agency to require vaccinations for medical staff that an effort is going to fact require that all die working facilities are going to have to be. The state of Caliph Yet in New York City also announcing public employees will soon be required, show proof of vaccination or face weekly testing individuals. Choice not to get vaccinate is now impact in the rest of us with healthy shows confirming booster shots could be needed for american Sixty five in older, as well as those with compromised immune systems code.

cases arising in every state, and so is the risk to all Americans, including the vaccinate, at the University of Alabama Burma. I see you nurse Barbara Thornton, learn that whenever covert patients, inner twenties had just died, Charlie sad to see people so sick and to see their family suffer because they can't be with them in the hospital. Did you think that there would be another? We reverse? I honestly did it I thought that we were on the other side of the house. Policy should in Alabama have soared more than three hundred percent since July. First, just thirty, four percent of the state's population is fully vaccinated. The lowest rate in the country It is time to stop blaming the on vaccinated, both not the ring evil. Folks non vaccinated, pokes that lead this night over the weekend. This hospital saw a sharp rise in cope with patients from thirty five to forty, eight, far less than in its seen backing Jean work, but these patients

younger, I think there are a number of reasons that people are hesitant to get vaccinated. Here. There is a lot of mistrust. government mandates of guidance that comes down from on high here in across the south yourself that mistrust runs deep Tennessee base. Conservative radio House Phil Valentine DIN thinking needed the vaccine, but now is changed course after getting covert and ending up at the hospital in serious condition is not getting influenced other people not to get it, and that is the regret of his life. Metabolic pilot Ricky Hand did get vaccinated, protested, positive three days after getting the shot before it fully took effect. He'd spend one hundred eighty seven days at the hospital, and now has this message: Amy go still sceptical. Nobody wants to go further

and lastly, we went to live, they come out is worth not taken a shot dares to me stupid. A group of nearly sixty major medical organisations, including the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association, issued a And statement yesterday calling for all health care and long term care employers to mandate employees being fully vaccinated against covert nineteen and the news survey shared exclusively with morning. Joe shows that majority of nurses, support vaccine mandates for workers in the IMF, I can nurses, association, study, fifty April and of nurses said they were in favour of employers requiring vaccinations and joining us. Now, president, they America, Nurses, association doktor Earnest Grant, given the change.

Even in the past twenty four hours and the mandate to either get vaccinated or get tat said what has been the response among nurses across the country, and how does one nuclear testing really work compared to the vaccine you very much for having made there has been an extremely positive response to the mandate nurses are realising that year need to be vaccinated in order to provide the care that is needed and also to prevent the possibility of acquiring the virus and taking it home to their families or or spreading it to the people that they serve and the difference. between the other? The weekly testing is that there is always the potential that, right after the individual has been tested, they could acquire the virus and began to start up shit.

The other devours before the next time that they are due to be tested so near that's Thea the main differences between requiring the mandate and or the weekly testing Natalie We testing obviously seems like a poor substitute for a vaccine that often ninety five percent, effective doktor Grant a lot of a sob surveys earlier this week light last week and show that up to forty percent forty five percent of healthcare workers senior facilities, retirement homes were not vaccine. that was shocking to ice. Can you can you give us inside of what you ve heard, why some healthcare workers seemed to be hesitant to to get those vaccines. Do you any doubt at all that we should have a requirement for healthcare workers to get those shots, especially

if they're working with our senior citizens while those are some very shocking numbers, I am in agreement with you there. I think it boils down to the fact of those health workers needing alone at more education about the vaccines and how they work so that they can do that. But anyone who is here we expect healthcare workers, nurses and particularly to model. Behaviour that they expect the patients that they care for him to do to model. So, therefore, if you Stop now that you're gonna be working with a very high vulnerable populations such as senior citizens, Denison streaming important, that you take every effort that you can to make sure that are kept safe, and so do we would still continue to encourage that those who are long term care also at to this mandate and also become vaccinated.

president, the American Nurses Association Doktor Earnest Grant. Thank you next hour will speak with a recent head of the American Medical Association and also New York city mayor build a blog you on the mandates. He continues to roll out for city employees. morning, the House Select Committee investigating the deadly January's six. The attack on the capital will hold its first hearing. This is the compact room, where nine members of the by Partisan Committee will meet and Bc News has learned that Committee Chair Benny Thompson and the former number three ranked republic in the house lives. Cheney are expected to deliver opening state he remind everybody about than this it even accountability. After what happened, this first hearing will feature

he's for police officers, all of whom were at the cap, on January, sex to our from capital, police and two are from DC police. The four will describe what they face day, including the moment DC officer Daniel Hodges, was crushed at the doorway of the capital screaming in by the way this is this is something bigger than these police officers. These law enforcement officers are are for people who again will expose those who want to hide it January? The six will expose those who claim that January sex with just we just tourist, just tourist, swap through their just a normal day for tourists will expose the lives of RON Johnson, who said no they had any reason to be worried about what what's going on with the people that were coming out, that they were just good. All american patriots will expose allies of Donald.

Reset it wasn't he. It was like lives, matters marches, and they were just good patriot. What, though, lives will be exposed. It's. Why again, you you. just wonder the well what's a good. Were to use for like us, the kindest word, Kudu, stupidity, the stupidity of Kevin Mccarthy, the Republican Party to be opposed to these law enforcement officers. Support themselves. On the other side of wanting to get to the truth they dont lot of these, please answers. Media, remember were treated rude when they went up on capital, held a talk about their experiences on January. The six some members turn their back, Walked away it took, one officer a while to actually get Kevin Mccarthy to meet within me? He said Kevin Mccarthy kept lying about their meetings, find get into talk down. But again you know all of this this.

is lying by trump supporters. in in the capital saying that we need port the blow. We need a blue lives and that now it does and it not to them tat matter to them not on January sex. I guess you're saying they support law enforcement officers. They support cops only when it fits their political agenda, but if it does, that their political agenda than they laid low, literally say to police officers, go to Hell They literally say to police officers. We really don't care what happened here they literally say to police officers brutalized and almost killed on that day. We don't want you to tell your story. Because it might embarrass of former reality tv housed, we don't people to see what really happened on that day, because we want people to forget that the United States government

almost of IRAN we want Americans to forget about the insurrection that took place we don't ever want Americans to see the pictures of the belated we. We don't want to hear the testimony of law enforcement officers about being brutalize with american flags, almost time and again saying they were thinking about their children, afraid there, did, I say we're being beaten to death by american flags within an inch of their lives. They don't want anybody to actually understand that what taking place here is not just a normal day at the cap for tourists eyes in a bunch of patriots. Just try to participate. full blown sedition sedition. If you actually care about why the statue

as about the conspiracy to commit sedition sedition, if you actually care about what the law says, if you actually care of the rule of law and right now make no mistake of it. Republicans saying same Republicans. We are on the side of voodoo when it comes to vaccines, are now on the side of covering up violets not violence, not really not really a good one to punch for your twenty twenty two plans, but that's where this republican Party finds itself and it's gonna, be There's, there's not going to be polishing. What these police officers say about what happened on January, the sex speaking to reporters in the Rose garden yesterday house later house minority leader, cavern, Mccarthy, criticized Congresswoman Cheney and congressmen, Kinsey eager for joy. the committee investigating

The capital insurrection here is what Mccarthy said followed by Cheney and Kinsey. Girls reactions, you know some Republicans. Having saying that some of the GNP should play ball on this committee, You could get. There was Adam unless they can. I closely Republicans. do reach? Look, I it's it's childish, we're doing big things right now we're getting answers of the worst attack on the capital since the one thousand twelve call me whatever names you want and I just leave the look? You know bottom line, I Manila number of Congress. I'm a republican government is technically my republican later and to call members of Congress by a childish names like Donald Trump yesterday,

yes. It's just The parodi watches were stupid. People do it actually is if you, if you look at the facts, which of course governed Mccarthy does ever do his journey? Has I get ninety five percent ac? You writing ninety five percent conservative riding over the course of her career, which is actually my conservative, waiting. But what I found out a long time ago, and they certainly is known for some time now. Obviously, by saying what what what what's going on this Republican Party Donald Trump Republican Party- doesn't care about ideas. Doesn't about ideology? Doesn't care about conservatism it is disconnected from conservatism, is all tribal It's all about voodoo in medicine, it's all about violence on January, the sex, it's all about covering up actually White Donald Trump doing so Kevin.

Are they resorts to childish, name calling for again. I dont know what Adams lifetime conserve. The writing is but loses is ninety five percent. Ninety five percent, one of the higher higher one more conservative members in the United States Congress. By the way, that's what they resort to. Why? Because It's all they have. They don't have the facts on their side. they don't have a history on their side, so It can do. Is act like a three year old and and our Donald Trump same thing: and just throw names around. So what's the luck with that, it's not going to change the fact that for police officers are going to talk about how they were brutalized and almost killed by Donald Trump supporters on January, the sex as they were, trying to actually overthrow the federal government and commits addition against you. And states of America and stop the voting.

which is constitutionally mandated of the electoral college voting. But you don't that's the party that Kevin Mccarthy will always be associated with lots of luck with that buddy lots of luck with less bring informer age. The George W Bush White House and state departments least Jordan New is that weight to really for us this morning and ports? Are I spent in columnist, says error the wash imposed and MSNBC political analysts Eugene and good to. Have you both alleys, Joe using a kind word stupidity. But to me These Republicans, like Heaven, Mccarthy, are making a choice that I think goes beyond rapidity. They know the facts and they were there? and so where do we? go from here. How does one delivered the true to the american people?

They have such a loud force propelled by Donald Trump and existing on Capital hill in But what can leaders who refuse to actually face the truth? I do that this commission and the hearings and the truth that is going to be heard from the testimony, especially today of police officers who, with this the hand to hand combat that happened in it, happen on January six, when there was an insurrection, the capital, at the behest of Donald Trump? I think it's going the powerful, and I think it's important, and I think that report- begins, might have overshot a bit and refusing to cooperate. They are going to allow Democrats to dominate the message, and headlines, whether they like it or not. There is only I so we now much avoidance that Fox NEWS and other outlets can do of covering what's action. happening, because the image

these are so serious and because the testimony is, upsetting and you just listen the cabin, the Mccarthy and just back to what Joe was saying about how absolutely childish the comments are. You Donald Trump was able to transfix millions of people with rare blend of bullying charisma by other Republicans, just don't have it and just comes out such a cheap imitation and pathetic that they are more serious way Donald Trump. At least everyone knew that he was alone and kind of expected that of him. But then you have you, no other leadership. with this- and they just is so distasteful, and you would think that the attack on their place of work and Citadel of american democracy would actually move Republicans and action. But I guess not me, you would think, you would think also that a majority leader are minority later. I'm sorry, Donald Trump turned Kevin Mccarthy CAP

the core of the minority later again for a couple. More years by Jean Robbins and you would actually think that a major minority later, I'm sorry guy? I keep forgetting all Republicans in Washington, D C or in the minority because of Donald Trump keep forgetting that. So let me get this straight you that a minority later, who called a loser president, who had just lost an election, was yelling at how did they get bring them? Some help to call his people off and other fruit. People heard him saying that he went around bragging to other people about how heck he had shouted to Donald Trump, that they were his people, think he would be interested in getting the nerves out, but, of course, is not an end Republicans, these Republicans he's patriots who actually want to get the truth out in here from our law enforcement officers, who were brutalized that day beat with american flags to an inch of their lives. Kevin Mccarthy's rub working party want these reports

begins to be part of their conspiracy of silence, so they can keep lying about January. The six and say was just tourists. It we're just sort of wandering through the capital on that day Yeah, you know Joe on a human level. It's it's kind of pathetic, isn't government. Currently, whereas you said, was there and and understood at the time exactly what was happening, understood exactly who was responsible, Donald Trump yeah, I did to do something to to call it off to get some help to the Kapital and and then you know very shortly thereafter sort of down to Morrow. I go to to bend the day too to this. This absurd

who who dominates this big chunk of our politics and in its just pathetic. But at the end of the question, my question going into this hearing is how hard does the from called information bubble? Try to keep all this out to keep out? What is going to be aired at this at this hearing to keep out the the the footage of the violent and cowardice police officers being beaten and direct and club and squeezed and then danger of losing their laws could lose angry mob over running the capital. To what extent are they going to to really try to keep the hits? Keep this out of there?

fiction all information bubble in which it was just tourists. You know who grab by and who was, I think, of brother, were welcomed by capital, fully was a loving seen as just ridiculous and an offensive. Second bought it. A lot of people will believe that, because cults believe their leaders- and so are they gonna try to keep all this are off of Fox NEWS and news backs and the other outlets or more, is it going to penetrate in some way that would be an interesting question and we'll How that play us out. We do have some sad news to report this morning. former United States, Senator former Wyoming Senator MIKE Energy, has died. He was

I M p ally, essay, Effie, Dotcom, Slash Dateline, today, What back to morning Joe former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and who sought to Roy his play and was ultimately pardoned suggested. Earlier this month that he would use a gifted a our fifteen rifle to shoot one in Washington DC in a video posted on twitter and very, five by NBC News Flynn is seen at an event at the church of Claude hiding send me California, receiving a rifle as a gift, from a man who says quote it's one of our top quality guns Flynn responded Crow.

Maybe I'll find somebody in Washington DC some of the audience laugh at the remark. The video was initially posted on the churches. Facebook page it has since been taken down and busy news has attempted to reach general Flynn for comment. It was only last month that Flynn suggested during a memorial day, we can conference organised by adherents of the Cuban on conspiracy theory that they use ass needed a man more style coup. When asked by an audience. Member quote: I want to know why what happen in Myanmar can happen here. to me and Mars military overthrow of quasi democratic government and brutal down on Descend, which some, we're not supporters have cited approvingly Flynn, replied No reason I mean it, it should happen here. No reason: Flint also suggested last December that then President Trump couldn't

martial law to force new elections, Wednesday? It's like, I feel like it's important, to remind myself everybody here that this was. national security adviser journals, security adviser who Elise Jordan, has called for more, shall law military coups, and now jokingly talking about assassinating members of the government, Washington, D C, if you want to a guy who's already pleaded gelded aligned to the FBI twice any evidence needed for the cancer that tromp, was on american government, need look no further than his or national security advisor, CIAO. In what I find even more amazing, then my friends consistently just

saying comments. The guy was in the U S military for thirty three years and got rapidly promote it here: Stanley, Mcchrystal right hand, man for years he was promoted to the head of the defence intelligence agency by President Obama he managed to thrive. within the military, and no one noticed that he was right alone attack, who seems to harbour some ideas of violence against his own countrymen and women. I mean, maybe that's an evolution in recent years, but its very very disturbing that he was within the system and thrive for so long resume. This some three for so long and had generals come on the show talking about how in this time he was very good at what he did. He get radicalized during the middle of the Obama administration, especially when it came to Mars.

And continues to become more and more radicalized fired, of course, by Barack Obama fired by Donald Trump Donald Trump said he had no choice but to fire this man because he lie to the FBI. Any like, of course, to vice president, my parents and then, of course, Donald Trump, pardoned him Robinson also hard to believe for a guy that we have a guy that use all the same position that I'll just say: great psych print scowcroft and Doktor Brzezinski help held that position and we have a guy. in the same position. Who is now going around again, just reckless talking about military coups, that we need a military coup in the United States and joking about assassinating

in Washington DC attributes and they are fifteen year. I feel like I'm back in Argentina Nineteen. Eighty eight when begin right crazy military officers of woman officers calling for coups was a thing and it's not That should never be a thing here, but it's it's it's it's.

It's out. ages and its unhinged? But it's also dangerous because it speaks to that that fringe crowd that sort of lapses stuff. He's gone just for you and I guess, but it's just it's it's a power, its support,

They didn't like the United States of America, but there is appalling at it is dangerous in that is dangerous and of course, here might say, joking, but are a lot of people in the audience there that actually great sees under those words. Obviously, a lot of conspiracy arrests in it is you talk to the FBI. Talking their people worried about security in the United States in Washington DC it's dangerous out there, and people like MIKE Flame make it much more dangerous than spring, and right now, professor, Prince in University, Eddie Glad Junior spoke, begin again. James Baldwin's America and its urgent. Lessons for our own is out now paper back and began again Eddie you write about Baldwin quote.

We cannot predicated- politics on changing their minds and cells. They had to do for themselves. Our task, then, is not to save trump voters.

had you on when the book first came out for a wink, some extraordinary conversations and great insights from you, I'm just curious a year later after writing this book. After going around talking about it after remarkably successful. I know you had a lot of people reaching out to cross his country in the world to talk about the book What have you learned and one year later, what today that you did know when you finish writing that book about Baldwin and the state of America Joe. Thank you so much for allowing me to come on to talk about the book. You know, there's a lie that Jimmy has that Jimmy said that you know the horror of America's that America's always changing, but American ever changes. You know one of the That was so important about the book when it came out a year ago that we were in the midst of this kind of reckoning trying to grab

or with policing in the country trying to grapple with deep racial inequality trying to grapple with our past? And now we and ourselves, you know confronting of states trying to roll back voting trying to disenfranchised black and brown and poor and and and and and young, for we find ourselves in this moment. Grappling with you know it on critical race theory and the like, whatever you buy, think of the phrase, but the question around history and so There was a sense in which there is a possibility in the book, but there is also this this, this sense of of betrayal. What does it mean for the country Can you to turn its back on the possibility being otherwise and so field in this moment is that we are standing at the crossroads again. Will the Finally, you know imagined itself differently, well we double down on this ugliness and- and this is where we are- and so you know I've been on the show for five plus years now, and we ve been having this conversation at what I do not want what I hope.

Continue to do is that we continue to put this on the front burner that we have to, in some ways figure out how to be together differently in this country Jeanne Robinson's, where the sun has a question for you, Eddie very so what's what is your view about this crossroads which waiting we're headed obeyed Elk. As I can. I can see it. I can see us taking ease the path. America, never changes or it has been right up to now. Can you be optimistic that we will? We will take this different path, that can lead to a new America. They America that is being born or more or do you think get a double down on the way it's always have been,

oh you Jane. You know it looks as if we're done where we are experiencing in real time the reassertion of what I call the lie in the book. This insistence that we have to be You know the shining city on the hill. Without sin we don't want to confront the if we are so I'm not optimistic, but I'm hopeful I'm hopeful, because I have a faith in abiding faith in the capacities of human beings to be otherwise What is it is? It gets a challenge, though you know we find ourselves in this moment experiencing what I've called these rolling civic power outages, where, January Sixed, whether it's the attack on voting. You know whether the refusal of our fellows to get vaccinated there's a sense, and what american democracy is in peril and the kind of grid that allows it to function. Right is kind of overs short circuiting over and over again. So I am not optimistic, but I hope

We will understand that the crisis is important enough for us to try to really address it directly. You know Joe Joint, I from the hurricane country we know about, one end of a store, it's really bad, then you have the eye of the storm, but then the tail is coming and the tail is really so we have the tale of the storm still ahead of Us I'm not the only one, not only one from hurricane country we have the Mississippi Kok is here that I will now go to the lebanese society. Cod is here, at least Gordon, who will tell you in here for Mississippi you spend your nights listing either to all Miss or Mississippi State Football on Saturday night, along with tat data warnings. Fifteen minutes weaken. We can tell you tornadoes spin off the end of hurricanes. Elise tornado is, I guess, that's where I am from tornado country indeed so Eddie I would.

To encourage everyone to read your tremendous book, the writing in the messages, so the writings beautiful the message is so powerful, but shifting gears a tiny bit. Let's talk about bottom and his legacy and what he did for Mississippi? And what could we learn from the amazing Bob Moses? Who among so many civil rights organizers, was just so humble and did so much for Mississippi, Mississippi ends in the country in the world And what can we learn from him? And how can we apply his lessons to today Our least. Thank you. So much for asking that question by Moses is one of my heroes. I would not be here if it wasn't for his sake. Vice in the state of Mississippi, to make young people like me possible. What I see I remember walking with Bob Moses at Princeton, we was when he was with us for a year and he told

a story about what they sought to do in the Delta of Mississippi, He said that he brought already sharecroppers into this court house and the current agenda. asked him. Why are you bringing these folk here and he said and this is what we mean. We want to expand the scope of democracy, Why too, in some ways affirm the capacity of everyday ordinary people to be the leaders that they ve been looking for his faith? ass his undying courage and his willingness to sacrifice without the learned light, without the need to be called the black leader, but in some ways to create The conditions under which America can genuinely be a multiracial democracy, my god we lost the giant but he's left behind a legacy that I we should all follow. Thank you. So much for bringing about police. and you know, Eddie, let's talk about that legacy for a minute and talk about balancing this discussion.

Again, I- and I say this only comes to mind with a lease here and you hear me your three people that lived in this City, you all grew up in Mississippi. I was born into a segregated south Bob most lived most of his life and his segregated South James Baldwin, of course lived most of it I found a segregated America, but in first grade Miss simply integrated, and I was I was blessed enough to be in an integrated class. Much has changed over the past fifty years. Much has changed because of people. I'd Bob Moses I guess the question is: how do we start? young Americans from being discouraged How do we give a perspective about how bad things were,

how far we have come through changes at people. I Bob Moses made How we build upon those changes. It s. A very difficult question Joe. I can only imagine what Bob fell on his death bed as we witnessed the country grappling with the question of voting ass. He saw the ugliness of trumpets, and, you know the ascendancy of white supremacy after risks. His life to try to transform the country there is a sense in which is almost disappeared, there's these moments, where you get the boulder almost up the hill, which makes it feel like progress and then its those that you have to start all over again and so part of what I wrote begin again about? Why I wrote begin again just how do we muster the energy to push the boulder up the hill again and it has

thing to do not only with just simply how far we ve come because, of course, my situation is the same as my father's, which isn't aim of his great grandfathers there's been progress, but what do we do with the ugliness of now? How do we respond and you know Joe. I would say this to you as my good friend. how did you speak to the America that we want to bring into being. How do we not forget from whence we ve come and how do we- speak to the ugliness of now from your perspective and that destiny it's not just in our hands. So just in my hands it's in our hands, our ends and I'll tell you the way we do it as we speak about it. We talk about it like you and I have been doing for five years we speak the truth, and that is what this praise, be crazy, Anita. We have to go to break and I apologise Alex this

I drive me crazy. When I start hearing people talk about, critical race, they're, gonna, be really honest with you. I just zone out now it seems on both sides. People are really there shoveling, if their against at all. They got which they can chauvelin and they call it critical race theory. then on the other side and seemed people shovel tying our definitions. this is really pretty. Damn simple, really, is it really is. You have people on both sides that are saying this that truth. This is only the truth are met. Is racist. America is irredeemable. America is down. That's on one side and then other side. You have people talking about seven in seventy six and we are theirs can exceptionalism with the greatest country ever and and and the free country ever and we have made strawberry progress and bloodline and on and on

Robinson. As we say, so it seems every day now, because you know we're such mindful people, you and I these can be true at one time, one, nineteen can exist with seventeen. Seventy six, a mirror. An exceptional american country and I believe in american exceptionalism we fed and we freed more people than any country in the history of this planet. I can take pride in that yet understand the words of seventeen. Seventy six really didn't even bigger. Jam to be realized until one thousand nine hundred and sixty four one thousand nine hundred and sixty five I was born here. That's when we first started on this path that were on right now, but those two truths bait vacant exists:

together and we can work together and try to make this country a better place still, but I'll- do exist. Jobe one thousand six hundred and nineteen happened, one thousand seven hundred and seventy six happen. One thousand nine hundred and sixty four sixty five happen it's three, whose the Yankees dropped his country and guesswork. Guess what it's complicated and its gradually and it's not all it's not all beautiful. Let us not all ugly its it sometimes really messy, but it it happened. It's true just teach that that's that's where we meet that's what into to start, and what we need to do is stop denying that history. Any part of that history. It all happened. It's all true and it all makes us who we are- what we are now and provides

You know that we need to know that in order to get to a better place. Is a complicated legacy. We very complicated leaders we all complicated people, but Eddie allowed. Let's get behind that rock and pushing up the hill again body, indeed, together together that Turkey, Thirdly, the day I'd, adding Lenny Extra Vietnam Eddie, it's an incredible book. Just I we love having you are talking about it. So much Miss book began again: James Baldwin's America and its urgent lessons Our own is that on paper back today.
