nation, african-americans, latinos, millennials, part of what i call the new growing swing voters in this country. so no one should ignore any segment of the population if they truly, truly, truly want to be the leader of the nation and that s what the commander in chief is. now, they write that his inclusive message would face a tough test before african americans. that s their quote. it includes writing stand your ground and overseeing voter purge. does he have to address these issues? what do you speck for is jeb bush and ben carson and hillary clinton?
majority population but not with minority populations. that was a failing. but are republicans learning that lesson? the urban league invited 11 republicans to speak. but most are not coming. i m looking forward to hearing what governor bush and dr. carson have to say. but these are important issues and we have to hear from all the candidates. joining me now is mark, president and ceo of the national urban league. thank you for being here, mark. thank you. thank you for being with us today. let me ask you, jeb bush and ben carson will be there. is this a missed opportunity for the republican candidates who won t be speaking? i think it is a mistake to ignore any part of the american population because it is only through coalition politics, the path to the presidency. in an increasingly diverse
why is the driver afraid to speak? or, you know, not reserving all of his legal hold on, mo. midwin can they compel him to give his account of what happened? no. he does have a fifth amendment right against self-incrimination. let s look at the timeline. this is the part i want to get to. we know a second prisoner is added to the wagon. then we fast forward to this is the time the medic s called 9:26. 9:26 when this initial incident the takedown which some have said the takedown is potentially where he could have incured that injury. 8:39 to 9:26. almost an hour. almost an hour. almost an hour. and one of the things that is disconcerting is we see in the video a man in pain a man who could barely walk. so the police officers who sort of had initially restrained him were on notice that this is someone who is in pain. mo i want to ask you real
