About why we all have to go and vote. african-american men had the right to vote for 145 years. african-american women for 98 years. but it was really -- it wasnt until 1965 we made some real advances to eliminate some of these barriers. theyre not gone yet. >> no, were bringing some back. >> yes. >> i think the reality is it was a long fight by black people and with white allies to actually get the meaningful right to vote, meaning just the fact we had a constitutional amendment that said -- 15...

Against you uburr giving i your 5th amendment rights not to fef and incriminate yourself. i get to ask you anything i want to about any topic whatsoever. it would likely not be specific to one specific investigation for example michael cohen, but of any crimes that he knows of. as jill said, theres a real incentive in that situation for someone like weisselberg to volunteer everything he knows under that umbrella because he gets protection for everything that he talks about. any crime hes ever c...
