And i forgot it what is unforgettable is that this powerful actor with the dpp authoritative voice had a Speaking Disability . Starting with so embarrassing and really painful. I went newt from the age of eight to 14. Jones said, a great teacher in High School who loved poetry, helped him. He discovered i wrote poetry and you got me to read my poetry in front of the class and when i did, it didnt start it as a teenager. Jones wanted to be a military officer. He eventually ended up in an american nuclear bomber in his first movie roll. The instructions, attack the Soviet Union in dr. Strangelove. Seconds negative function a long list of Screen Roles would follow, including routes the guest, awaiting your majesty, let them Coming To America.

You wish come true never nominated for an oscar in the Movie Version jones was part of an elite acting group. He won an oscar, a grammy, three emmys, and three tonys included putting a lifetime Achievement Award in 2017, had he done it all in life . Im not sure if i want to do at all because i death is okay. It is something that happens to all kulebas and thats kind of glorious lets bring in cnns Elizabeth Wagmeister in los angeles. Now elizabeth, a huge loss, obviously, james Earl Jones really established himself in so many ways but especially he was, he was really early rather pioneering actor in terms of being a black actor absolutely a huge loss for the hollywood community. But what an incredible life lived, jake, we have confirmed with his agent that he did pass away at home at the age of 93 . No cause of death given but again, such a long, wonderful accomplished life and to your point, jake really pioneering a trailblazer for black performers everywhere. He will have such a legacy that will go on for decades and decades and something that i want to point out is that over his storied career, hes really touched so many generations with iconic roles, whether it is voicing mufasa in Lion King, or of course, darth vader just so many accomplishments in touched so many lives. Ive been looking in scouring online, reaching out to different reps. So far, not a ton of tributes coming in because has this news is breaking and such sad Breaking News. But i anticipate that we will see a huge outpouring of love from hollywood to exactly your point, jake, which is that james Earl Jones was a pioneering actor, particularly as a black performer so many iconic roles that hes going to be remembered for. Obviously, Admiral Greer in the jack ryan films also, he also is well known for his activism absolutely. He is well known for his activism and he well known for so much in his life, jake, because its not just his roles on Stage And Screen or being an activist for certain causes that were important to him, but also really being the first of so many things because as we heard there in that Tribute Package to him, he was an egot, which means he was in that rare club of having an emmy, a grammy, an oscar, and a tony. So this is really a presence in hollywood that we truly, i dont think well ever see someone like james Earl Jones again now, i want i read something to you, jake, back in 2014. So just a decade ago, he was asked about his long career and what was The Secret to it, and he was so humble. This is what he said, jake quote, The Secret is never forgetting that youre a journey, a Journeyman Actor and that nothing is your final Thing Nothing is your greatest thing. Nothing is your worst thing. I still consider myself a novice, so you see there at the age of around 83 already with so many awards, so decorated, so many roles by the way, jake, he had at It Film Roles and over 70 Television Roles that even then, he was still pinching himself with the careers but he had james Earl Jones once told the Toronto Star that Field Of Dreams was one of his top five favorite roles. Elizabeth and and the idea that his impact on baseball, his love of americano, such, such an important part of that role absolutely. Im sorry, i pause there. I thought we were maybe going to a clip to watch one of his greatest moments so sorry. But i misinterpreted that there but yes, that is certainly one of his most iconic on Screen Roles. And as you said, you know, the impact that he had there on baseball that will live as one of his most famous roles. But jake, he also revisited some of his other famous roles in very recent years. Just back in 2021, he was in the sequel to Coming To America to of course, he continued to voice darth vader over the years in various Star Wars films and a fun fact in 1977, jake when he first voiced darth vader, he was paid just 7,000 for that role when he began, which is really incredible when you think of it because without that voice, i dont know if darth vader would be the darth vader and that of course is attributed to james Earl Jones and of course, he also like could, could joke about it like, i mean, he was in Coming To America, he was his normal persona this regal bearing, but it was for laughs absolutely, absolutely not really just again, shows his range, you know, over at movie roles, 70 Television Roles are highly decorated actor, there was no One Role that he could play. He had such range, whether it was a serious role that, you know, brought tears and emotion to you her eyes or whether it was something that made you laugh or whether it was that haunting voice, or it could be a charming voice and also jake, i love that we get a little bit of Cnn History here because long before my time here and before your time, he was the voice of cnn and are famous slogan saying, this is cnn and i dont know if a lot of people watching know that that was the voice of james Earl Jones. So he really was caused a part of our family here at cnn. All right. Elizabeth wagmeister. Thanks so much.

And even ahead of her performance, democrats seem to think having harris at the top of their ticket gives them a better chance to hold on to the u. S senate. But in one Deep Blue state a very popular republican is hoping to throw a wrench into those plans and im joined now by former Maryland Governor Larry hogan, the republican candidate for the senate in the state of maryland. Thanks so much for being here. Thanks for having me really appreciate the first president ial debate between trump and harris. Kamala harris set to kick off tomorrow night. Theres going to be the a lot of spotlight on her Linac Spotlight on him what do you think were going to see . Im not sure what i think were going to see, but what im hoping that well see is an actual debate of the issues i mean, as im out there on the Campaign Trail every day, there are things that people are really concerned about, about affordability and the economy, about crime, about you know securing the border and fixing our broken Immigration System on the Campaign Trail, we havent heard a lot of substance, frankly from either one of them and im just hoping that we have a real discussion of the issues and not just more of the kind of angry fighting we see all day on television and on the Campaign Trail. Yeah, i want to talk about former President Trumps comments about January 6, in recent weeks, youve actually been Running Ads on the fact that you took actions to protect the capitol on January 6. Heres a clip from one of your aunts and on January 6 as we watched in horror, hogan didnt just talk about defending democracy. He did something sending in the Maryland National Guard to protect the capital thats the same. Larry hogan, tough, independent, never backs down so this comes as over the weekend, mr. Trump posted on truth social about people that he accuses falsely of cheating in the 2020 election. He says in part quote, when i, when those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which will include long prison sentences. So that this depravity of justice does not happen. Again, that must bother you. Thats kind of contrary to your message. And i just not just contrary to my message, but to everything i believe in and, you know, obviously ive been one of the most outspoken critics for since the moment that Donald Trump came down, the escalator as the commercial set, one of the only republicans who never caved, but i mean, i was i was disgusted by the talk about the stolen election and disgusted by what happened on January 6, then the leaders of congress were reaching out to me desperately asking for help. We sent the Maryland State police and the Maryland National Guard and, the next day, i called on President Trump to resign and let Mike Pence finish out a peaceful transition of power do you worry at all that trump might come after you if he wins because you are, i mean, you were on the side of Election Integrity and Law And Order and all the things that hes done in this context. Im not afraid of it. Thats for sure. Ive always been willing to stand up and he lashed out at me a few times, but look, youre not battled Lifethreatening Cancer if you mean tweets from Donald Trump arkin about him, how is your health, by the way, im doing great and never been held here last week, i spoke with your democratic senate opponent, Angela Alsobrooks from prince Georges County. Her message to democrats in the state of maryland where there are more democrats and republicans, is that even though youre not a maga republican, you are in Fact Skill a republican. Take a listen was recruited to run in this race by Mitch Mcconnell. He just two years ago vetoed Abortion Care Legislation in the state of maryland, where we refused to sign legislation that would have banned Ghost Guns. He he vetoed legislation that would have given sensible Waiting Period for long guns. And so we know that many of the policies of this republican party are ones that Larry Hogan has governor a favorite favor of those policies your response . Well, sadly, my opponents entire campaign is based on lies, so on Mitch Mcconnell had nothing to do with recruited me into the race. I know he tried to come convince me two years ago to run apart different race, but i getting between a woman and her Doctor Or Nothing to do with providing abortions in the state which have we have protected womens rights. No one should get between a woman and her doctor, but this wasnt about doctors who was not nonlicensed professionals. What about the legislation she talks to a talks about in terms of Ghost Guns and long guns. Well, there was a battle over some of the details on that, but i look for for a universal background checks, i signed a Red Flag law. I signed a Bill On Bumps stocks and im im pushing for more Common Sense solutions on this issue. But we have the toughest gun laws in america, and yet we still have people being murdered on the streets nearly every other day, including prince Georges County, where murders are up 100 yes. There was a shooting at the High School last week, really awful. Ive reached out that a Sheriff And Talk with them and its its its look, i put in after a School Shooting at great meals High School in st. Marys county. I pushed through the Legislature A Requirement to have arms, School Resource officers, and every single High School and provided all the funding to the local governments my opponent is withdrawing school well safety out of prince Georges County where people are being shot. In march, he said you were not going to vote for President Biden for reelection, although youre not, youre also said youre not voting for trump what about Kamala Harris . Yes. My position is really the same. I mean, quite frankly, i have serious Policy Differences and obviously eat my concerns about Donald Trump are wellknown and neither one of them has earned my vote. Its not going to be much of an impact in the election because to camo harrisons winning maryland by 32 points and its not going to impact those electoral votes in maryland. Ive said you have n
