Transcripts For MSNBCW The Reid Report 20141117 : vimarsana.

Of his beheading along with a dozen syrian soldiers. The 26yearold army ranger returned to syria as an army medic when he was kidnapped last year. Were joined by amman. There were differents in this video from the others. What does that tell investigators trying to figure out more about the terrorist group . One, i think theyll look combing through it for immediate sources of intelligence or pieces of information that could be in some way revulatory what led to this unique moment. Whats particular about this video, most is pop began da, this was 17 minutes long. The vast majority is boasting about the growth of isis. Unlike previous videos weve seen, at the very end of it they dont show another hostage and give him or give her the kind of timeline theyve been doing in previous announcements or previous tapes. That, perhaps, is an indication that the group itself is maybe the way its functioning, they have been disrupted, the way its been producing these videos may have been disrupted. I think theyll look at a lot of small things like that. But the length of it, the slick production quality of it and the way they introduce the hostage in the execution was very different than the previous times weve seen. We will continue to follow this story. Thank you. And coming up, well dig deeper into the fight against isis and the new clues Intelligence Experts are finding in that latest video from the terrorist group. Lets go to the white house where president obama is back from his weeklong asia trip and squaring up for a renewed fight with republicans over immigration. Lets go right to nbcs senior White House Correspondent Chris Jansing. The white house says theyre going full speed ahead with executive action on immigration. Do we have a timeline as to when . We dont at this second but the president is about to go into a meeting with his senior advisers. They said all along these decisions would be made when he got back from his big trip. A lot of decisions to be made. The timing, of course, could be influenced by what were hearing from congress. First of all, a letter from Senate Democrats came over to the president just today pledging their full support for this executive order while House Republicans are trying to fight it. Theyre getting dozens of their members to sign on to put a provision in the upcoming budget that would say that there would be no coverage for any provisions for this immigration executive order. So, were waiting to hear what comes out of this meeting. No public appearances for the president today. So, we wont hear from him directly. At least we dont expect to, joy. Nbcs Chris Jansing at the white house. Thank you. A reid alert on ebola dr. Martin salia who passed away earlier today from complications of ebola virus. A permanent u. S. Resident who was treating patients in his native sierra leone was listed in extreme Critical Condition since being rushed to omaha, nebraska, Treatment Facility on saturday. His family spoke with reporters this morning. He showed that his true love. If you love something you want to do, no matter what it takes, even if it means sacrificing your life. Hes really a hero to me. Lets go to the surprise drug sweep targeting the nfl. Several teams including the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers received visits on sunday from the dea. Nbcs Kristin Dahlgren has more on what they were looking for. Reporter hi there. What they were looking for was painkillers amid allegations that some nfl teams may be illegally dispensing the drugs to try to keep players on the field. At the end of sundays new york San Francisco game, the visiting 49ers got a surprise visit of their own. From the dea, who questioned the teams medical staff before letting them leave the stadium. They were interested in anybody with the teams that might be handling medications that shouldnt be. For instance, trainers. Reporter Sally Jenkins with the Washington Post broke the story and now says a half dozen traveling teams were targeted in the sting. Our reporting suggests that they did have reason to be interested in these particular teams based on interviews and information that theyve gathered over the last few months. Reporter in a statement, the nfl said, our teams cooperated with the dea today and we have no information to indicate that irregularities were found. A spokesman for the 49ers says, in part, the 49ers medical staff complied and the team departed the stadium as scheduled. While the bucs tweeted, authorities checked in with our travel party at Baltimore Washington International and after a fiveminute delay, we proceeded on to our plane without incident. This sweep comes in whats been a tough year for the nfl, already facing sharp criticism for its handling of Domestic Abuse allegations. While the dea investigations are part of an ongoing investigation, triggered by the classaction lawsuit filed in may by former players. In the suit some 1300 former players allege they were given addictive narcotics to keep them playing through injuries. We need to try to make sure that the guys who are legends of this game, who are doing so much for this football game, are better taken care of. Last month the nfl asked the judge to throw out that case, saying that it was the teams and not the leagues that should have been held responsible. As for that dea investigation, its been called ongoing and more teams could still be targeted. Back to you. Thank you. Turning to the trouble mounting for bill cosby. Another woman has come forward claiming she was drugged and raped by the comedian decades ago. The new allegations add to the list of accusations made by women who claim they were assaulted by mr. Cosby in years past. Cosby himself, who appeared with his wife on npr radio this weekend to discuss a donation of artwork to the Smithsonian Museum in washington, is refusing to remain silent. There have been serious allegations raised about you in recent days. Youre shaking your head no. Im in the news business. I have to ask the question. Do you have any response to those charges . Youre shaking your head no. Nbcs craig melvin joins me with more. We have in a sense heard through bill cosby. We heard through his attorney he will not be talking about any of this. Shortly after this radio interview, his longtime attorney put out a statement reading in part, after several weeks, decade old, discredited allegations against bill cosby resurfaced does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank his fans for the outpouring of support and ensured at age 77 he was doing his best work. Last night he was performing in erie, pennsylvania. We sent a camera crew to talk to folks before and after to see whether he would bring it up during his standup routine. He did not talk about it. The folks we talked to as they were going in seemed to be reserving judgment. They seem to be giving mr. Cosby at this point the benefit of the doubt so far. The difficulty, of course, is that these are very these allegations date back decades. Yes. In this case to 1969. Theres nothing to litigate. These are allegations very difficult to establish. Most people think the statute of limitations has passed. The woman who came out overnight, 1969, she was an aspiring writer. And some friends introduced her to bill cosby. According to her, he then invited her back to his place, and again according to her, drugged her and raped her twice. So, she is the most recent woman whos come forward. Of course, we know of Barbara Bowman wrote that oped in the Washington Post last week. That came on the heels of a popular comedian Hannibal Burress who got on stage and called bill cosby a rapist. We should note here, no criminal charges have ever been filed against bill cosby in any of these instances. He has maintained his innocence over the years. So, it remains to be seen what, if anything, comes from this. Nbcs craig melvin. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Coming up, we will talk about the potential impact of these allegations on bill cosbys legacy. With grio. Coms entertainment editor. We begin to get a peek into the character of officer Darren Wilson from people who say theyve had prior runins with the ferguson officer.

Dont stop now come on mony come on yeah i say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah cause you make me feel like a pony so good like your pony so good ride the pony the sentra, with bose audio and nissanconnect technology. Spread your joy. Nissan. Innovation that excites. Welcome back. Analysts are poring over the latest isis beheading video looking for any clues as to the current state of the terrorist group, particularly in light of what seems to be a series of setbacks for the extremists. The video of peter kassig differs from previous videos in several ways. It has poorer production values and lacks the now familiar scene showing the hostage alive, kneeling and read reading from a prepared statement fryer his execution followed by a scene from a new hostage being threatened to death. Thats led some experts tracking isis to wonder if the differences in the video are exposing setbacks for isis on the battlefield, including a seemingly retractable fight in the Syrian Border town kobani and the loss of a major iraqi oil refinery on friday. Laitha, before we came back from break, you were talking about what, from your position assist an analyst, this video and the differences in it say to you. Okay, there are a number of differences in this video from previous beheading videos. Mainly that it is only a tiny part of this video that shows the aftermath of the execution of the western hostage. The entirety of the execution video until the end shows the message that Islamic State is expanding and its not weakening despite the air strikes. You know, kassig does not deliver a personal message, does not blame the United States for his capture, unlike the previous victims who basically cast the blame on their governments, United States or britain. He doesnt speak at all. Some have speculated because hes a former army ranger he does have the military background he may have just resisted and said he wouldnt do it. He may have resisted. But his execution might have taken place in a different area. Whats really interesting, the Islamic State indicates this specific execution took place in northern aleppo, closer to the turk irborders while the previous executions purportedly likely took place in raqqa, syrias stronghold in syria. There are a number of differences. You dont even see kassig or speaking or alive, you just see his head but you see the execution of over a dozen Syrian Regime soldiers and pilots. The focus of the message is that not only is Islamic State expanding, but it is defending the syrian people, standing with the syrian people. You know, their execution might they see it as might be less controversial than is that less controversial because these are still muslims, these are syrian nationals and youre saying that you think isis believes they get a propaganda victory from showing the execution of fellow muslims . Indeed. They dont acknowledge them as muslims. They identify them as infidels. They are actually carrying attack on the group itself, they dont see the Syrian Regime, or for that matter, any regime soldiers in any country in north africa as being legitimate mu muslims. Abdulrahman kassig sent a final letter home, he says, if i do die, at least you and i can seek refuge and comfort knowing i went out trying to alleviate suffering for those in need. Does the fact this young man was so obviously supportive and helpful to muslims, syrian people, does that in a way cut against the propaganda potential benefit to isis of doing Something Like killing him . Absolutely not. Isis has more of a political message than anything. Thats what terrorism really insue ati insin you ates. They see more in killing him rather than keeping him alive and saying, we are living a life for humanitarian basis. They said he was an army ranger, he participated in socalled crimes against people in iraq during the time he served as an army ranger. And theyre saying this is really his punishment, whether he, you know, worked in the aid field or not. Lets talk about these other hostages that are still being held. Theyre not shown. Thats one of the big differences in the video. We know theyre holding a guy named john cantly, british, and another unnamed American Woman not shown in the video. John cantly was not chained, was speaking freely. Hes being shown probably unwillingly as a public defender of the Islamic State, showing up in kobani and other places defending the works of the Islamic State and blaming the u. S. Led coalition. And . A way, the United States the Islamic State, which was a pretty savvy move on its part to use a western hostage to defend it. We dont know whats going to happen to cantly. That doesnt mean he wont be executed in the future. Perhaps the Islamic State ran out of hostages to execute and did not show. I want to show you our own Richard Engel went behind the scenes to talk with some of the people who are fighting against isis in kobani. I want to play a little bit of that. Reporter its especially important, she says, for women to be strong in the middle east where they are rarely strong or heard from. We stand here as symbols of strength for all the women of the region. Youre fighting for kobani and fighting for womens rights in the middle east . Yes, she says. Right now i am fighting for kobani, but i promised myself that wherever a minority is attacked, i will be there to fight for their rights. In the psychological war against isis, how important is, a, the continue the resistance of kobani and, b, the participation of women fighting against them . You know, i think the continued resistance in kobani is absolutely crucial to defeating the Islamic State and preventing it from taking that last kind of front before getting into into turkey proper. You know, but i think the United States should really continue launching attacks on the Islamic State in these specific areas just to prevent it from going into yet another country. But i think, you know, you see the participation of women, unlike women in syria or in other places that are not battling the Islamic State, we see it very clear in kobani. And i think they do have this kurdish nationalist pride and they want their independence and they dont want they want neither the Syrian Regime or the Islamic State imposed ruling imposed on them. I think in the psychological warfare, women, thats key. And the bravery of young people, like this young man who was executed. Thank you for being here. Coming up at 3 30 p. M. Eastern, peter kassigs parents will have News Conference and well have live coverage coming up on the cycle on msnbc. Three things for you to know this monday.

The white house says more than a Million Consumers visited healthcare. Gov over the weekend. The enrollment season got under way without the widespread technical problems experienced last year.

As the waiting game in ferguson stnz, much of the Community Remains<\/a> laser focused on bringing attention to what they say is endemic justice at the hands of police in the st. Louis suburb. Protesters are gathered in clayton outside the courthouse where jurors have been deliberating for months oefrt indictment of Darren Wilson<\/a>. On sunday activists staged what they called a diein, laying down in the street, not just Michael Brown<\/a>, but other black and brown men they say are dying unjustly at the hands of the police. Were tired of the Police Killing<\/a> our children. Im done. Enough is enough. It ends here. It ends with us here in ferguson. You give us another reason, well get more organized. While the movement shows no signs of slowing down, today there was more fuel for the controversy. New Ferguson Police<\/a> audio and Surveillance Video<\/a> obtained by the st. Louis dispatch from the day that mike brown was fatally shot. The video shows officer wilson leaving the Police Station<\/a> for the hospital two hours after the shooting and returning to the station 2 1 2 hours later. Then the police audio wilson can be heard responding to officers tracking a robbery suspect. 21 to 25 orr 22. You guys need me . Miss later wilson reports his location. According to the paper, this is wilson after he stopped Michael Brown<\/a> and his friend. 21, put me on canfield with two. Can send me another car. Lisa bloom is a attorney and legal analyst for today show. Also the author of the hiphop underground in african culture. Thank you for being here. Lease sashgs i want to go to you because the information that came out over the weekend included this audio that the family says shows the entire encounter lasted only 90 seconds. At the encan you hear presumably Darren Wilson<\/a> say, you better get somebody down here, theres going to be trouble. This is what the family said about new video, information was leaked from within the Police Officer<\/a> that wilson was severely beaten and suffered an orbital eye socket blowout, indicating the Michael Brown<\/a> somehow be shot. They saw the grainy video saying the ability to use this video to exonerate him are not working. The video is grainy but you cant see any obvious injuries on Darren Wilson<\/a>. Thats important. We know there were false reports that came out early in this story that he had an orbital eye fracture. That turned out to be completely true. You cant see anything on him in this video. When the grand jury we dont even know when its going end. They have a few options of what they could actually find in this case, based on everything theyve heard. They could find seconddegree murder with 10 to 30 years in prison, knowingly cause the death of another person. They could do voluntary manslaughter, five to 15 years, sudden passion arising from adequate cause. Just from what youve heard of all the evidence public, how would a grand jury decide those four things without help from a prosecutor. You laid it out, you dont even need me today. Those are the charges. Theres been a lack of transparency in this case from the beginning. We dont even know if theyre done hearing witnesses f theyre deliberating. If they are, how many days a week . Were basing this all on rumors. Those are the most obvious charges to be levied against Darren Wilson<\/a>. Six witnesses say he shot mike brown with his hanz in the air. That could be firstdegree murder if you believe Tiffany Mitchells<\/a> testimony which is very compelling. Having said all, that we dont know what the grand jury is going to do, but we also remember the prosecutor has said, hes not recommending any particular charges to these jurors, which is highly unusual. In fact, ive never heard of that before in any other case. It may have happened. I have never heard of it. It may take the grand jury quite a bit longer to peegs this together. To figure out between those four things. We do know the family of mike brown and supporters of the family believe that what has been done so far, whether its by the prosecutor or the police, is to build a case against Michael Brown<\/a>. And to constantly message against Michael Brown<\/a> in death. Do you feel that that has poisoned the well so much, it would be impossible to get the community to all agree that justice has been done, whatever the grand jury decides . Yeah, i think thats part of the problem here. Again, its the timing of the leaks of the information. If you go back to the strong arm alleged strong arm robbery video, the timing of these leaks seems a little suspicious. Im not indicting the st. Louis dispatch here, it just seems strange for the community and theyre responding to that. Listen, weve all seen the images of the militarized police confronting peaceful protesters, using tear gas bullets. That is a crime in and of itself. That has already happened. The poisoning of the well, joy, as far as people on the ground in ferguson are confirmed has taken place which is why theyre focused on becoming more strategic, preparing for whatever the decision is going to be to able to protest peacefully and have their voices heard. Imentd to play attorney general eric holder who went down to ferguson famously and people embraced him. Lets listen to what he had to say about the whole process. The struggle goes on. And its not only ferguson. There are other communities around our country where we are dealing with relationships that are not what they should be, be they official communities they are supposed to serve or whether its on a more personal level. There is enduring legacy that em its till has left with us. He was speaking at an event honoring emmett till. Its an important point in history. Its not an identical story but the ways in which the criminal Justice System<\/a> does not work on behalf of poor and black folk. Obviously, a young man at the center of that, a young man is murdered and his murderers are set scotfree, that sets forward the civil rights movement. Not that its bigger than mike brown at this particular moment, but the tensions and sort of relationship between the Ferguson Police<\/a> force and the community theyre charged with protecting has already been contaminated. Its already been destroyed. Weve seen the images of it in the protests but we know what the record is. We know the misrepresentation on the police force. We know the ways in which theyve been sort of holding this community hostage through parking tickets and things of that nature. The contamination and poisoning of the well has already happened. The real question s what do we do coming out of this. Absolutely. To that point, espn, lisa, had a piece where they talked about the Football Team<\/a> in ferguson and how they responded. These are kids mike browns age. I want to play you a sound bite from one of those teenagers. He claimed i bumped a stop sign. He claimed i was speeding. I didnt do any of that. My father came down to the scene and he was very aggressive. He told my father to leave. My father was like, i wont leave because its my child but ill get my vehicle. But he was like, no, youre going to jail. The officer listed on the ticket is Darren Wilson<\/a>. I should note that nbc news has not independently verified the incident of the young man. But this is for the first time youre starting to hear people talk about Darren Wilson<\/a> a little bit. Would that potentially come in in a grand jury . No, probably not because thats called prior bad acts and hes being investigated for the shooting of mike brown. He has all the rights that every criminal defendant in america has. He has constitutional rights. Thats different than what victims have. People say its not fair. We hear about mike browns past. We dont hear about Darren Wilson<\/a>s past. Thats true but every defendant has certain protections. That wont come in. I would assume once this decision gets made, its all in the court of public opinion, there are videos out there about Darren Wilson<\/a>, all kinds of information about him. Hes got a lot of supporters out there, too. That, too. Lisa bloom, darren peterson, thank you. Coming up, how will the new allegationless of rape against bill cosby affect his legacy .

Days after shaking his head in silence, instead of answering a question about decades old Sexual Assault<\/a> allegations, bill cosby is still keeping quiet. Today theres one more accusation. A journalist has come forward accusing cosby of drugging and raping her inside his home when she was a 19yearold aspiring writer. Over the last 30 years several women have made similar accusations. In 2006 cosby settled a civil lawsuit with one of them. However, criminal charges have never been filed and cosby has consistently denied the allegations. They resurfaced last month when comedian Hannibal Burress<\/a> called cosby a rapist during his routine. People dont believe me. People think im making it up. Thats [ bleep ] that you didnt know about it. Trust me if you leave here and google bill cosby rape allegations. Its not funny. This [ bleep ] got more results than Hannibal Burress<\/a>. In the weeks following that performance, we know at least two things for certain. Allegations of Sexual Assault<\/a> are no laughing matter. And the legacy of bill cosby himself is in serious jeopardy. Chris witherspoon is the entertainment editor at thegrio. Com. These are not new allegations but something about that Hannibal Burress<\/a> video popped. Why do you suppose that is . Because he said google bill cosby rape allegations. Ten years ago you didnt have the opportunity to google and look on social media and see these things pop up. He cant shake this off as easily as he could have ten years ago. So you do have that social media aspect to it. One of the women, Barbara Bowman<\/a> wrote a piece, she said only when a male comedian came out and spoke about it, meaning burress, a girlfriend took me to a lawyer and accused me of making it up. Their dshes calling out the media she said 308 years ago this wouldnt have been a story or shes been saying it for 30 years. Its true. This story bubbled up bigger than ever and its still bubbling up, not going away. I think until bill cosby sits down, does an interview and puts all those folks on twitter to silence them, not through his lawyer but sits down with someone like you or oprah and talks about this, addresses it, if these claims are false, i think seeing him as a journalist if i saw bill cosby talk about these openly and say they are false, i think it would stop the twitter. He has such an iconic status. I want to read the statement he did make. The attorney put out a statement saying over the last several weeks decadesold discredited allegations have resurfaced. The fact theyre repeated does not make them true. Bill cosby will not dignify them with any comment. He assures his fans that at age 77 hes doing his best work. Not what you said, but bill cosby still has an active career. Hes touring right now. Hes doing, it quote unquote, press tour for his new netflix special coming out the day after thanksgiving. Its a big deal. Its his First Special<\/a> in 30 years on tv. When you do press tours, most of the time when you sit down, people can ask you whatever they ask you. I applaud the npr host that asked him what he asked him. Its our job as journalist to ask what folks at home want to know. He said, people that love you want to know your answer to this question. I think fans like me who grew up in the 80s and look at bill cosby as a hero, especially in the black community, he is a hero, an icon. His show his shows that he put out there changed history and shaped who we are today. So, when you see allegations like this, and its not just one, its dozens its a dozen now, its hard. Its hard for to you swallow and you dont know what to think until you hear him say something. I think you hit on an important point and one of the reasons i wanted to talk to you today, because bill cosbys body of work is not just iconic, it in a lot of ways changed the culture. The cosby show is one of the reasons you could see a credible barack obama as president going back to fat albert, representations of black children and black families and black college students. This is an important body of work. Definitely. Ive interviewed fa lisa rashad, who played his wife, and director of a different world and we talked about how cosby made a family sitcom thats tried to be emulated over the past 15 years and hasnt been done. You dont see another show that pulls in black audiences, moms, kids, grandparents and makes them feel alive. Dont think it will happen again which is unfortunate because thats bill cosbys legacy in a nutshell, that familyfriendly sitcom. Do you think in the social media world because you smartly pointed out, its a different world now oh, definitely. But now you have social media that can take on a life of its own. Is it possible that body of work, that legacy, can withstand something that is viral in and of itself. Thats a good question. Last week bill cosbys camp asked him to meme on twitter, look at old photos of him and make funny captions or memes. People were coming back with caption of rape. Young people dont know bill cosbys body of work like you or i do and i think thats the audience that will get active on social media. Until theels these allegations go away, i dont think social media will embrace him. Thats where you want people to love you again. Thats the new court of public opinion. Chris witherspoon from thegrio. Com. Thank you for being here.

With a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. If you just need a loan, just call a bank. At ge capital, were builders. And what we know. Can help you grow. Finally for a story we brought to you friday. I was at a conference for yes we code for young minority students who want to learn coding and be part of the tech community. Its the seconds such event the Group Launched<\/a> and one that chases its genesis to the great purpled one, prince, who in between wowing crowds felt minority kids were being left out of this great tech boom so he wanted to do something about it. Heres just a quick sample of some of the ideas that were pitched this weekend. So my idea is its called sports craft and its like minecraft. My app idea is an app called med taker that can help you with your health and wellness. The goldenschool. Com website and app offers school ratings, college advice, testing tips, educational and culture games, equal Friendly School<\/a> ideas and more. The director of Strategic Development<\/a> at yes we code. I love those kids. They were so adorable but they were also so smart. They had really smart ideas. Tell us what the genesis of yes we code was and what does prince have to do with it . Its an incredible story. Van jones, who happens to be Close Friends<\/a> with the purple one, as you mentioned, prince, were sitting together in the wake of the Trayvon Martin<\/a> murder. They were at princes house. Prince was upset and he asked van, why is is it when we see a black kid in a hood y the assumption is hes a thug. If we see a white kid in a hoodie we think thats Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> . He challenged van. Van said, i think its because of racism. Prince says, maybe because we havent created enough black Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>s and challenged van and thatsy yes we code came up. I learned a new word hackathon. Hackathon is when coders get together, computer programmers get together and stay up for three days to create an app to solve a problem. We brought together over 70 Young Students<\/a> from northeast United States<\/a> from top executives, coders, business professionals so they could create mobile Application Technology<\/a> solutions to the problems that they see in their own community. And thats the key, is that they were actually pitching we saw a few of the pitches there. But they were pitching ideas that were practical. Like they werent pitching things out there. I want to zach zachary, who was on our show friday, explaining his app in its real world application. My app is called recoopery and provides an easy gateway for children and adolescents to gain access to a counselor via video or phone call. How important is it they were solving problems they see around them in their own community . Today in society we see adults talking about the problems but the kids actually have solutions. Why are their solutions not happening . Because they dont access. At hackathon they have coders, project managers working with them to create the solutions and prototypes for the problems they see. Its incredible because they come up with the solution and adults to help them build it. Its a small microcosm of what it would be like in the real world if they had jobs doing this or companies of their own doing it. Absolutely. Its an exposure thing. These young people dont get exposed to that reality. We had a 9yearold named nicky who came up with a solution, he said, both my parents work, i want activities but i cant get to Different Things<\/a> so he created an idea that fused together, you know, a carpool app with uber so that it could, you know, create a carpool for all his friends to get picked up, go where they want to go. It was voted best Business Model<\/a> at hackathon, 9 years old. He was a third place winner. Who was second place . Second place was game school created an app thats a sports app but as they play the game they can see the coding behind the game theyre playing so they can learn to code while playing the game. First place im going to play first place. Second one, my son is mad because he didnt come with me to the hackathon, the 15yearold, he was mad because he didnt go. Pharaoh who pitched the winning idea at the hackathon. Lets listen to pharaoh sanders explain why hackathon is so important to black youth. To learn code, you need lots of computers. Computers are capable of running modern software. Computers dont come cheap, necessarily. So, that means its a lot harder to get this kind of technology in more urban scholastic settings, which makes it so that oftentimes a lot of minorities dont have access to these things, even though they should. First of all, i want to work for that kid. Second of all, what was pharaoh and his team members app . They this incredible app called creating your community. The idea was young people who go around their community, they see run down, dilapidated buildings and they take pictures and it connects real estate developers, designers, contractors, to be able to fix these buildingings up, have ownership of the new renaissance in their own community. And the idea, these young people are saying, we can change our own community, conceptualize what we want and keep the local dollars stay in the community and have the community we want. Brilliant. In the wake of the tray i dont know Trayvon Martin<\/a> tragedy, it was hard seeing young men my sons age being vilified. How important is it for them to see themselves at, a, kids, and b, potentially success snfl. Its incredible. Now when you see the young black man in a hood y you see an entrepreneur, a problemsolver, you see somebody who is intelligent, brilliant and making a difference in their community. Couldnt have been cooler. Yes, we code. Everybody learn that hashtag. That wraps things up for the reid report. Ill see you tomorrow at 2 p. M. The cycle is up next. Im in a great mood so tell me something fabulous youre going to do next. I wish we could. We have a lot today on peter kassig who we saw isis murdered, the video yesterday. Well talk to ayman who knew peter. Well talk about him a lot. Well see his familys press conference in this hour. Really important stuff. Thats very important.
