You. joining me now to discussing all the cnn political commentator and special assistant to president george w. bush scott jennings and former chair of the dc democratic party, attorney a. scott bolden, great to see you both, i know it s a big football night so appreciate you making time for us here on the show. so scott bolden, let kick it off with you, should president biden have condemned trump s offer of a pardon for the rioters? you just heard joe say he lobbed a question at him, asked him about this and he didn t answer. we saw a few weeks ago, president biden was not afraid to call out trump, though he didn t by name exactly, but should he be more forceful now? i think he will be more forceful going forward, just because he was getting into a helicopter doesn t mean he s not going to, but he made it clear what he thinks about donald trump and the republicans in regard to january 6th. listen, it was irresponsible and reckless for donald trump to talk about pardons but it was
The worship hour was chosen to maximize terrorism. i was standing across from the girls, over by the sink, and they was a few feet away from me. addie reached her hand out. that s when i heard this loud boom. and i said, jesus! addie! addie! when she didn t answer, everything went dark. i was the only survivor, and i lost my right eye. those beautiful girls was killed for nothing, just for being black. everybody was klansmen back there in the 60s.
Moving as fast as they could. he was on a mission. i looked in the rear view mirror and thought to myself, there is no school within walking distance of where you are. wherever you are going, young man, you will not make it in time, and you are too young to be walking by yourself. i dropped our daughter off but i could not get the image of that child out of my mind, so instead of turning toward the courthouse , i went back towards him and there he was still walking down the road. i pulled up aside him, rolled down the window and said don t be afraid. i have children about your age too, do you need a ride somewhere? where are you trying to get to? and he called the name of the school and it was the same school my daughter attended and it was miles away. i said son, you re not going to make it walking. do you want a ride and he didn t answer, and i don t blame him. here was this strange man asking him to get in the car. so i said son, i m not going to
Dr. king she was there as he drafted his famous march on washington speech. i loved that man because he was ordinary, as famous as he was reporter: she broke barriers as a trailblazing journalist, the first black person in the south to have her own prime-time show. but perhaps her greatest power, persuasion, like when she wrote to president johnson in the 60s, asking for his help to allow black doctors to practice in georgia s segregated hospitals he didn t answer. i said, you know what? let s go to washington you know, not getting any response kind of makes you mad. reporter: they met, and soon after the passing of the 1965 medicare legislation, hospitals nationwide began to desegregate what do you think you said to him that convinced him to get involved guts. here s a gutsy woman i had a real story to tell, and i had my facts. reporter: later clayton used that same persuasive power to change a heart of hate, the local grand dragon of the ku klux klan the two met while wo
Flu shot and that is probably what covid is going to be like as well. but i can tell you the white house has a communications problem going on right now. we need some effective spokespeople coming forth to communicate with americans instead of keeping people paralyzed in a state of panic because that panic does not match reality. sean: i know you happen to be a mom, i went to had the opportunity to meet your children. are you going to wear a mask at home, doctor, as recommended apparently? [laughs] by the way, that was one of the most asinine things i have ever seen and i m glad he s walking back but at the end of the day, he still didn t answer, he didn t answer the question that he was asked. are we seeing higher hospitalization rates and fatality rates with children? should we be concerned for our children and he danced around that question and the answer is of all the data i have seen in the u.s. and other countries, no, the hospitalization rate for children is still about 1%.
