History. >> like in my generation when i got out of school, dr. king was assassinated in the late 70s. >> king and kennedy were assassinated 2 months apart in 1968. not in the 70s like sleepy joe claims. >> it is sad. that makes me a little nervous. the media screwed it up for biden. now can you openly question his mental acuitty and you can discuss dementia because they labeled that narrative for trump for 3 years. its no longer unseamly. you can talk about this out of concern. i think the dems...

Other problems, would that be even more influential right now? >> quite possibly and i think its also a combination of the fact that in the -- the three times that the u.s. has passed major gun safety reforms, first of all, in 1968, of course the 1993 brady bill, its always been byolled congress. so i think president trump is also looking at this and saying, you know, what, why would i do this now? sure, maybe theres risk that ill lose suburban voters in this, but ultimately i am with the nra be...

>> attorney general wilwrap barr gave a horrific speech at a police conference in new orleans. he was saying some stuff that was very circa george wallace 1968 law and order taking about a zero tolerance policy for anybody who decides to resist arrest. and the last time we heard zero tolerance policy was locking up children at the border. he was talking about coming for district attorneys who he calls social justice warriors, some scary things from him. >> i think we have a clip from him. pop it...

♪ going to get back to the land and sit my soul free ♪ >> walking in the mud barefoot, she cuts her foot badly, a piece of glass in the mud. shes standing there on one leg like a stork holding her other foot and bleeding quite a bit, people around her are going, oh, my god, what do we do. right over here is a new york state throughway trooper. and he looks like a photograph out of a book. he just came on duty. his pants have got a sharp crease in them. his shoes are mirror clean, shiny. >> y...

Were enslaved or free, could never be a citizen of the country of our births. if you look at before 1968 when black people got full citizenship in this country. as a child it was very perpl perplexing, i had always been thought through society, through reading texts in school, that we were not citizens of this country. abraham lincoln tried to ship black people out of this country after emancipation. it seemed like my father was bowing to our subordination, admitting to that. but working on this...

Never be citizens. if you look at the fact that it took until 1968 before black people got full citizenship. i had always been taught through society and through reading texts in school that we actually werent fully citizens. that this country did not belong to us. >> why is my dad so happy? >> exactly. abraham lincoln tried to ship black people out of this country after emancipation. my dad, it seemed like he was bowing to our subordination. but really through working on this project and having...

Out of the hands of people that shouldnt have them. now, you know, congress i have no faith in them doing anything quite frankly. but i think the vast majority of law enforcement as well as the public in general want some reasonable form of dwun control. background checks. and other things. >> is sabrina -- you cover the white house is he getting involved and do og is or back offer. >> he has been making private calls to lawmakers on capitol hill but still hasnt used the bully pulpit at his disp...

I thought trump was racially insensitivity, a bigot, since charlottesville, the repeated tweets and the attacks, the terminology, the -- its beyond all of those things now. its racist. and i just find that a lot of people who are trying to turn it around and claiming that those of you who recognize the racist from donald trump who were the racists somehow, i just dont think that they really want to admit that theyre willing to cast that aside and support a racist president. recent polling showin...

Incumbent tries to do first is make sure they face no primary opposition because it gives them the freedom to amass a war chest and while the other party is dealing with the intraparty fight and now you have bill weld who is in the race and now the possibility of mark sanford, it seems like small challenges no doubt that donald trump will beat them both i would say, but is it enough the two of them potentially kind of picking at donald trump in a couple of key early states? making him be distrac...
