but i heard your introduction, and actually the point of what i was making is that -- i'm such a fan of guys like lebron right, and so unfortunate what he's going through right now. with his son. >> absolutely. >> but i guess what cracks me up when i know you to be -- a smart as any woman in your type of position -- is there in just like espn reporter, i mean, somewhere good some are bad whatever. right, what upsets me is when a guy like alan calls lebron an old man. when he finishes out with 40 points -- who is alan -- and does that make sense? you know we're all entitled to opinions and then like my best friends -- in basketball with the years have been charles barkley who, obviously, played at a different level. jack who played a different level and i see these guys like

america. we were accused of not wanting to teach african american history but it required it be done. these standards were borne out of that and these are thorough standards done by african american history scholars. there is no agenda here. it is just the truth and they talk in detail, including the injustice of slavery, but she is trying to perpetuate a hoax. they are using it to attack me. they are always attacking florida, but they are impugning the work of people like dr. dr. alan. >> jesse: dr. alan was a wonderful guest and florida should be grateful for having him write the standards. let's pivot to republican politics.
>> greg: search for meaning talked about having to survive a concentration scam by getting skills, be useful, utility kept you alive. >> jessica: , okay, but we are talking about middle schoolers. there's a lot of concern about what age people are prepared to understand complex issues. i'm not sure 12 is the right age to start hearing things like "when you were enslaved here in america you --" -- >> greg: what about gender? >> jesse: what about gender ideology? >> jessica: just let me finish. ron desantis knows this is bad for him. his first response was "i didn't do it, i'm not involved in it." we know that his response to the 2022 -- we also know that the type of people that were charged with this overall, maybe not dr. alan who we will have on tonight, someone like kim daniels who is on tape saying "i thank god for slavery, because without it, i would be in africa worshiping a tree." she is an anti-semite, and
that, but the politics, and maybe she gets a score on that one. >> jesse: i don't think she's going to get a score. everybody knows she's lying. i have to ask the african americans watching what's it like to be lied to by kamala harris? let's elect to be lied to by these buffoons on msnbc who did not read the curriculum or have no idea what the story is, have no idea what's going down in florida, and they act upset. they act enraged on your behalf based on a lie. i have an african american phd that we just heard from dr. alan will be on the show tonight. he says this right here. this is well documented among historians. this is historical fact that to develop skills while they were enslaved and then use those skills as blacksmiths, as agriculture, tailoring, the shipping business, to benefit themselves and their families once they were freed. it speaks to the resilience and
his bedrock. but he brought that positivity to his cancer and i want to see him two weeks ago today when he was in hospital and he said, you know, alan, if you have never told the people you love don't wait, tell them. he said there is a positive side to cancer. he said is it wrong to think there is a positive side to cancer? because i have had time that you don't get with the brutality of a car crash and to think of my life and to make sense of it and to say to the people that i love them. it was typical of george. he to the people that i love them. it was typical of george.— to the people that i love them. it was typical of george. he taught us all a lot about _ was typical of george. he taught us all a lot about living. _ was typical of george. he taught us all a lot about living. alan, - was typical of george. he taught us all a lot about living. alan, thank. all a lot about living. alan, thank you very much. we will have a special tribute to george at the end of this programme. the rest of the news now, and wildfires are still burning out of control on the greek island of rhodes. more rescue flights have been laid on to bring home thousands of britons who had to flee from the fires. two other greek islands corfu and evia have also ordered evacuations. officials in corfu say they suspect arson, but now
good to be back with you. off—screen, george was funny, clever, a generous and confiding friend and full of energetic hope. there was something infectious about his optimism. you always walked away from time with george feeling better about the human race and the world in general. and that's the bbc�*s news at six. the migrant boy whose family left sri lanka with nothing found his home in a changing britain and he took this country to his heart. it's goodbye. the news continues, though, here on bbc one... i watched george for years up close and thought this of him that people wanted to tell him their story because in his in hisjournalism they saw the outstretched hand of a shared humanity and of solidarity. alanjoins us alan joins us live now from his alanjoins us live now from his home in edinburgh. alan joins us live now from his home in edinburgh. you got to know him very well during your years alongside him
