Is as well. And cnn politics reporter to koppen. Former business partner, manafort, rick gates maybe called this week. He is considered a star witness. In exchange for his guilty plea. What is to be expected from him . Yes, thats right, fred. I mean, in many ways, this is sort of what everyone has been waiting for the trial to build up to. He was the man who is sort of on the inside so to speak on all of these different pieces of the puzzle that have been being put together by this testimony from, you know, from accountants, from the various sort of external factors in manaforts world. But this is the man who was, you know, supposedly according to prosecutors side by side with manafort as much as this went down and may be the one to testify, you know, exactly what he was thinking and doing and intending, which is so important when youre building this criminal case. You know, he also is sort of the connection to trump world. That we havent seen as much. And thats what has to be what peo
he won t believe me. like many other barrier breaking projects, that film was greeted by the industry with commercial interest. it s an important context, a story that sometimes repeats but in actuallity, it became a box office hit that stunned in many hollywood. melvin could go on to a prolific career in film, theater and his obituary said he was a fertile force, the god father of modern black cinema and a trailblazer in american independent movies this is a story we d reflect on regardless but we re happy to

and it s dangerous and it s one that brings about an almost absolutely fear. i wouldn t want to give someone like that a chance, per se. but the actuallity of the situation is that he is the president and people voted for him, although i didn t vote for him. he is the incumbent, and you know, he s my president now. yeah. so, i said before this record was unusually political, unusually political for modern day hip pop, also unusually political for tribe, right? yeah. so the first song you did on saturday night live is we the people. that s the most popular song right now on spotify off the record, and i thought it was fascinating. it was a great performance you gave, and immediately you saw people tweeting, this is our new national anth national anthem, right? yeah. i want to put the lyrics up here, i want you to unpack it a little bit and tell me what you
