personal experience in this area. i remember growing up, they used to call many of the facilities correction facilities. now it s detention facilities. you re kind of turning that around, bringing it back to where we can reform those that can be reformed. we accept some cannot be, but many can. and what has been the reaction of other mayors and people to what you are doing so dramatically in atlanta? what struck me is in talking with two very well-known entertainers, with john legend, and with common, who are leading the efforts across the country, using their voice to effectuate change, is that atlanta is already miles ahead of many other cities and many other states. they specifically both cited new york and california. and so i think that for leaders across the country, just don t be afraid to fail.
deaf, it s inappropriate, insensitive. to your point how can we as republicans stand by our party when we have the head making statements like that, it s not easy. but this is the party we have and i m in it to effectuate change, i m an urban conservative. rural conservatives might agree with it. as an urban conservative i have a problem with it. i m not the only one to speak out about it. christine, donald trump is an urban conservative, he s not from rural. he knows what he s saying and he s dealt with a city that has racial discrimination. in fact, he was sued for racial discrimination in housing early in his real estate career. so saying you re an urban republican either you re with someone or not. let me ask you this, if barack obama had praised someone who had been similar in terms of
always must-watch especially tonight. i will be watching. thank you so much, my friend, for spending time with us. thanks, my friend. everything she said sure. we don t talk enough about how long the tail is. but the president truly, his actions affect people who may or may not have voted for him, but their lives are on the line and his incompetence and his instability is laid so bare. i really worry what i asked rachel about, we ve been too timid, we have been too reluctant to cover his obvious lack of mental fitness. this author is being too timid. if you re the author of this column and you truly want to effectuate change, you want to answer to a higher calling, you want to do something in service to the nation, you have to come forward and sign your name to this. look, steve and i have pulled the curtain back a little bit. i was chair of the dccc. he beat me the second time, right? but we re sitting here as people who served in a body, a democrat and republican who re
i m talking about the players. and unfortunately that s where we re the most quiet and we need to speak up right now. there s a lot of issues we re facing as a people and you re 100% right. you want to really make some change and effectuate change. when you have a disgusting person like roy moore who is allowed to run for congress, you know, and i ll say this. anybody who sat back and watched that sean hannity interview, a lot of people probably haven t, go back and watch the sean hannity interview and you will hear how disgusting this man is. it should have sent the entire state of alabama in an uproar, particularly the athletes. and i hope they re listening to this, because we do have real issues and there s times that our voices can really be heard. that s at the ballot box. we ve got to start voting. and, you know, we can continue to hoop and holler whenever things happen to black men in our country, but unless we re willing to get involved in a political system and start
minneapolis, and the young people he doesn t know in cleveland who are part of the black lives matter movement. and if he would say, as governor chris christie there said, he would never meet with the young people of black lives matter, the black preachers go behind their back and meet with them i think is a slap in the face and all the more, these are preachers not connected to the movement and have not been on the front line of what these young people are trying to accomplish. so i ve stood in allegiance with the young people who are in fact trying to effectuate change. if it s just about a conversation, then have a conversation with these young activists who are fighting night and day to see america live up to what they are supposed to do. this is a conversation to be continued. thank you for your time. a white police officer charged in the death of a black teen, he s posted bond. he s leaving jail tonight. city officials try to cover the whole incident up. we re learning much
