Week. Maybe thats where he got it. At long last, charges were filed today against the three policemen who stood by and did nothing as their fellow officer ended George Floyds life. That officer, derek chauvin, has been charged with seconddegree murder and Second Degree manslaughter. The other three were charged with aiding and abetting those charges, which is good news. A long time coming. There have been protests now in all 50 states. And thats a pretty big deal. We cant even get all 50 states onboard for Daylight Saving time. The whole world has been watching and weighing in. Even the Chinese Government said they hope the u. S. Will take concrete measures to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination. When china is giving you a lecture on human rights, thats not a good sign. Meanwhile, our president is still getting his bible thumped for that embarrassing photo session at St Johns Church on monday. The white house today tried to explain why the orange chicken crossed the road. Business suit barbie tried to spin it like this. Through all of time, weve seen president s and leaders across the world who have had leadership moments and very powerful symbols that were important for a nation to see at any given time to show a message of resilience and determination. Like churchill, we saw him inspecting the bombing damage. Jimmy churchill, when he said we shall fight them on the streets, he wasnt talking about his own people. The only thing donald trump has in common with churchill is they wore the same size bra. While they insisted it was not a photo op, it was a photo op. He walked to the church, never went into the church, never spoke to anyone in the church, didnt examine the damage to the church. Held up a bible upside down. Didnt read from the bible. Didnt give a speech, posed for photos and left. I dont know, that sounds like a pretty textbook definition of a photo op to me. He treated it like taking your kid to see santa at the mall. You get the picture . Okay, lets get the hell out of here. Of course trump cant admit to any mistake. He tweeted people liked my walk to this Historic Place of worship. Who liked it . Im not sure, people like it. You have a problem when even the 600year old host of the 700 club is not impressed. He said im ready to send in military troops if the nations governors dont work to quell the violence that has rocked american cities. Hes spoke of them as being jerks. You just dont do that, mr. President , it just isnt cool. Jimmy and he knows cool,s one of the original muppets. Turns out, you know whose idea that walk to the church was . Ivankas. According to the new york times, trumps chief of staff said it was ivankas idea. And as a result, ivanka has been demoted to eric. You dont have to listen to all your kids suggestions. If we did that at my house, the bathtub would be filled with skittles right now. Trump is also trying to refute claims that protesters were attacked by police to make way for trumps walk of shame. The police say they used pepper balls and smoke bombs, not rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the peaceful protests. Right, its grenado, grenahdo. Trump has suggested he might enact an old law from 1907 to send in troops. That didnt sit well with esper. The option to use active duty forces in a Law Enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the insurrection act. Jimmy and youre fired. Im glad he spoke up. Why would a draft dodger be allowed to be in charge of the military . Its like a vegan in charge of the barbecue. The president is also said to be fuming about reports that he was taken to an underground bunker during the protests on friday night. So he phones his foxy friend brian kilmeade. Who tried very hard to give master an out on this by blaming the secret service. But dodge ald the dense didnt take the hint. Sometimes the secret service even tells the president , i cant do this. So youre telling me, mr. President , they didnt say to you, you have to go downstairs. My responsibility is your welfare. They didnt limit you at all in the white house . No, they said it would be a good time to go take a look. Because maybe sometime youre going to need it. Jimmy oh, he just went down to take a look because sometime maybe hell need it. I go down two or three times, all for inspection. All for inspection. Thats why he went down in the middle of a massive protest outside his house. He needed to inspect the place to make sure they stocked enough horsy sauce in the cupboard. And with all this going on, the president has been tweeting up a storm about what a gift he is to black americans. This morning he wrote, ive done more for black americans than any president in u. S. History with the possible exception of another republican president , the late great abraham lincoln, and its not even close. Lincoln ended slavery. Trump thinks its possible lincoln did more. This would actually be funny if it wasnt at all. So, democracy is gone, but basketball is coming back. Espns reporting that the nba board of governors is going to vote tomorrow on a plan that would restart the season with 22 teams. For eight regular season games. A possible playin tournament for the eighth seed and the playoffs all taking place in orlando, florida at disney world, and the champions will be whichever team doesnt get the virus. Im happy about that. I dont know about you, i cant wait to see how long james hardens beard is right now.

Tomorrow night, the wonderful wanda sikes will join us. Our next guest has an oscar and three emmies and could very well get another for the costumed vigilante in watchman. Please say hello to regina king. Hi, regina. Wow, what an intro. Jimmy my wife and i have this conversation with each other, and we both agree, so it really doesnt go very far, but we do think you are unbelievably great in every single thing that you do. But before we talk about that stuff, i know you are an l. A. Native, right . You grew up here. This is your town, and obviously, youve been paying attention to everything thats been going on. How are you feeling right now. Um, you know, i think im finally starting to pull myself up by my bootstraps. Everything has been super heavy, like, as it is for everyone. Right now. But ive finally gotten to a place where im clear as to what it is that i need to do to make changes, you know. I feel like the protesting thats happening is, is necessary. We wouldnt have probably these most recent charges that just came up against the other three officers would not have happened without the protests. But still, you know, we have officers in louisville who have not been charged for brionna taylors murder. And there are so many other cases like that, and im just convinced that the only way were going to change is to get out and vote and not just in the president ial elections, but on the local levels. And that means voting every year. So ive just kind of been inspired to start educating myself, speaking to my friends like Stephanie Janes of the collective. And Melina Abdullah of black lives matter. Giving myself Civics Education of find out who candidates are, who can actually change policy, because, at the end evof the da i feel like the only way we can makehanges to these systemic problems is to make systematic changes. And thats change the laws and to change the laws we have to change the lawmakers. So thats where i am right now. Jimmy and to change our way of thinking, i think. Just in general. Is another thing that we obviously have to work on. You know, Shaquille Oneill was on the show last night, and id asked him about his sons. Hes got sons, and i asked him if he had this talk with them where he explains what it means to be a young black man when it comes to dealing with the police, when it comes to dealing with people in general. And i was wondering, you have a son, how old is your son . My son is 24. Jimmy so have you had thime homes, black homes, its not just a conversation. Its, its an ongoing conversation. Jimmy ongoing. Yeah. It never stops. You get to a place, especially when youre, your children are at an age where, you know, they are looked at as adults, and the anger that they have is, you know, it just compounds. Every time Something Like this happens and another moment thats telling them that theyre not worthy. Theyre not valuable. Their lives arent valuable once they walk outside of the comfort of their homes. You know, the conversation shifts every time. Because you have to find a to support their feeling that and make sure that you are let being them know that you hear them andirr same butou dont wanthas gog to put themselves in a situation that they may not come back home. They may note ta talk to you ag so its a constant conversation, always. Jimmy did your son understand it right away . Did he know what you were referring to when you started this conversation with him . Or was it a surprise . I think he was, you know, our conversations really became more, they were, they got deeper once we were, when obama, when president obama was running for his first term. And the campaigning that i was doing, you know, your kids are seeing what you do, so the passion that i was having behind there, i think thats what was making his comprehension with the conversations deeper then. The and it rea rea rea think, when he learned to drive. And thats when the conversation shifts again, because you kind of have to make them very clear about what theyre supposed to do when theyre out there in that car by themselves. Jimmy right. And more than like lay are goi going to get pulled over because youre a young black man. Jimmy thats one of the things that makes me ignorant, because i dont think i was fully aware of this before this month. I heard this, but i did not know it was a rite of passage in an African American family, that along with using your turn signal, would you have to instruct them on how to behave with the police. Its amazing. Yeah, i have, i have a lot of friends who are white, and our sons are the same age, and wed be having conversations with hows it going when youre teaching your kid, hows it going with brandon and driving, hows it going with ian and driving, and one of my closest girl friends, patty and her son brandon and ian have been best friends since they were 5 years old. And, you know, she would, got really emotional when my conversations with ian and the driving experience, when i was telling her about it, and it just never even dawned on her. Jimmy yeah. And the reality that she doesnt have to have that same conversation. It, you know, brought a lot of stuff up for her. So, you know, its, its good that you know. Jimmy im glad that i know now.
