Guest peter, first of all thanks for having me. And will, its good to be with you as well and i look forward to our discussion today. For the purposes here today, cancel culture is a modern norm of ostracism in which someone is silenced or eliminated from social or professional circles or political circles, and suppression of that Persons Discourse for expressing certain ideas and perhaps employing certain votes and speech, whether it be online on social media or in person. I want to be clear about something at the outset so we can get this out of the way. There theres obviously a Lf Speech offline and online, peter, we all might think is vile, hateful, and a little societal value. I understand that, but my concern here is that theres too much speech we all should agree is within the realm of legitimate public debate that is stifled or canceled. In other words, the space in which legitimate public debate ought to take place, or as oliver Wendell Holmes put it famously, in which the fre
Turning point usa, charlie hurt. One of the Msnbc Contributors going out after she said she saw Pickup Trucks waving flags, suggesting its a threat to our democracy. The reality is here that we have a large percentage of the american population, i dont know how big it is, but we have voters who continue to believe that their rights as citizens are under threat by simple virtue of having to share the democracy with others. I think as long as they see americanness as the same, as one with whiteness, this is going to continue. We have to figure out how to get every american at the table. But how to separate americanness from whiteness. Until we can confront that and talk about that, this is going to continue. I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a dear friend and i was disturbed. I saw dozens and dozens of Pickup Trucks with expletives against Joe Biden, trump flags, and dozens of american flags, which is also just disturbing because the message was clear. This is my country. This i
I can be objective about just about any topic. But not about my family. Those of you who watch this show get it. Like you, i bet, my family means everything to me. And i am fiercely loyal to them. I am family first, job second. But being a journalist and a brother to a politician is unique and a unique challenge, and i have a unique responsibility to balance those roles. Its not always easy. People can say and write what they want, but i want you to know the truth. How i helped my brother also matters. When my Brothers Situation became turbulent, being looped into calls with other friends of his and advisers, that did include some of his staff, i understand why that was a problem for cnn. It will not happen again. It was a mistake, because i put my colleagues here, who i believe are the best in the business, in a bad spot. I never intended for that. I would never intend for that and i am sorry for that. Its also important for you to understand not only do i not cover this here, ive nev
You should like even less, okay, because it has no legitimacy is chip roy, the republican coming to Hawleys Aid and saying well, you know, it takes away from the local police the way to categorize incidents and gives to it the doj. Yeah. Yeah, thats exactly what we need because thats why abuse of Force Reporting is such a problem, because if you leave it to the local police. Yeah. If they dont believe in the designation, they dont want the highlight a problem, they wont. Yeah. And you dont get uniform data. Well, there is a lot to be said about that and a lot to be said about the local police and how they classify and qualify things, especially that video coming out. Or dont. Or dont, coming out of louisiana. And let me tell you, my mom has been i grew up in louisiana. My family is still there. My mom is outraged. Its outrage obviously in louisiana, but across the country. And we first played that video Last Night on the show. And i knew that it was going to boil up, and folks were goi
New details on a shocking story we were first to report on last night. The mother of ronald green, a black motorist who died during an encounter with Louisiana State Police two years ago, speaking out right here on don lemon tonight. The family walled at the time that green died in a car accident. Police Body Cam Video is now out and it proves thats not true. The video Shows Green was tased, kicked and dragged by officers before he died in custody. Greens mom saying this to me just moments ago. It was two, three days after we got there. And at that time they told us that he was in a highspeed chase. The car crashed into a tree and he went through the windshield and died of the injuries. Right before then, we found out that through coroner, she told us he was being taken out of state for his autopsy. And it was right then and there that we saw that it was going to be basically a Cat And Mouse game. They were running us all over the place. Also tonight, senate republicans lining up behin
