You've not described it subscribed rather you're missing something. We subscribe press rundown media. Eric bolling joins us now. Eric how are you buddy of doing good. Thanks for having me a pleasure to have you well for those who don't know politico in its ongoing critique of of women and democrats in particular out i don't i don't know why they're not so for with what they look like jennifer rubin who was formerly conservative but like many conservatives changed after trump i saw george will on msnbc the other day talking against trump. But there's no expose on. George will as a man but anyway They decided to to hold her into account and to suggest that there is some type of symbiosis between her and biden white house and how she may not be as objective as she should be then. She emailed them back out in. What should have been off the record conversation about their treatment of her in other women and political decided to expose that pretty much proving the point of her of her email. So with all that. Eric and you wrote about it. You wrote about in coveted. Probably better than what he doesn't. The air dose folks. We see a lot of tweets. But but eric actually takes. It gives us. The chronology breaks it down and then gives us his own objective analysis. And that's why he so important but does did not that incident. Eric really show politicos hand. It did well. It showed many things in one of its showed is. The press gets very frustrated covering the by administration because minus afghanistan in august. There's there's not much drama and there's not much news so politico you know the playbook is supposed to be de must read every morning. This is what's happening in washington. And they do their hardest. Gin up the drama. They didn't have to do it. During the trump years because it was chaos for four years so the fact that they're lead item was about her of washington. Post columnist who. The white house likes in sends out her links. And somehow that's the story really was the tip off number one that if folks are really you know scrounging at the bottom of the barrel which which doesn't reflect poorly on jennifer. Rubin reflects portland politico. Why is this even a story. You know the way they positioned to as you said. The symbiosis This mysterious working relationship. Between ruben in the white house no she writes. She writes provine stuff. The by white house likes it. I mean this is. This is journalism one. Oh one there's nothing underhanded going on here in my god. During the trump years there's literally a billion dollar right wing media industry that did nothing the parent you know his attacks in in his rhetoric and see political. You know doing these mini exposes trying to shine a light on that but my take away from it and and as you point out those a lot of online chatter about this email she sent and should have remained off the record. Politico said no because we didn't have an upfront agreement for anything to be off the record so therefore you know according to the.

"Not mark dobson coming ladies. Gentlemen happy to have on the show with us. Once again. Comrade of mine are activism bills back in many years to even say long. Okay we'll just say we go back a little bit. We won't we won't be too specific Very proud of him. He is a professor of journalism at columbia university. He's also very prominent correspondent with the new yorker. He has put together book As well the matter of black lives which is an anthology of all of the writing in new york over the past year or two in and around black lives matter. George fluid cetera. Please pick that up. It's available everywhere. The matter of black lives but invited him here today as we talk about critical race theory a lot of us know what that is and some other folks have high jacked it. We ought to talk about that and The man who came up with the term critical race theory. Crt so we haven't had with us idea brother. Comrade dr jilani cobb. Hey brother how are you man. I'm good i'm good. How are you. i'm good. I'm good always good to see you man and thanks for writing this piece on professor bell. I like you had a brief opportunity to meet him. This is one person. I think we all regret. Not walking amongst us to today we could certainly use his wisdom right now could we. That's certainly true. That's absolutely true. Yeah so in writing about him. Obviously you looked into his life and a lot of things added no His row early on within aa c. P. legal defense fund his role in the civil rights movement going back as early as the nineteen fifties top little bit about the experiences. He had that made him come up with critical race. Theory in the first place So there's a lot to be said about derek bell. He was a tremendous figure in terms of his intellectual influence in terms of the impact of his activist. Work the legacy of him as a professor and teaching. You know just on multiple fronts you know. He was a banner individual. And the ark of this in the way critical race theory came about was really a product of his intellectual restlessness that and also his integrity and just to kind of give you the backdrop. He was born in nineteen thirty in the hill. District of pittsburgh you know. Of course the famous community in august wilson had depicted. You know so memorably. In his plays he joined the air force. And after undergrad. You know decided that he wanted to go into law. He went to the university of pittsburgh law school and graduated in nineteen fifty seven as the only black person in his class and his graduating class and so he went from there to the department of justice where he was one of the early attorneys with the civil rights division and when they discovered that he was a member of the end of lacey pe- they said well. This is a conflict of interest. And you'll have to quit the end up lacey pe- but bell had other thoughts. You know he quit the department of justice in remained in the end up. Lexi p which tells you something about his character and it also becomes a theme in his career because on multiple occasions he quit very prestigious lucrative positions in order to maintain a principled stand and so he became involved in the civil rights movement as attorney. Thurgood marshall personally hired him the end alexa. p. legal defense and education fund and he hit the ground running you know filing desegregation suits in mississippi and the early nineteen sixties. He worked there from nineteen sixty nineteen sixty six and so he's involved in all these things and after he leaves the end. The boise p. A he goes into academia and as professor he begins to question the efficacy of what he had done as a civil rights lawyer and so we have brown versus the board of education. And you know we talked about brown and it's significant but there's a host of smaller civil rights victories that nbc p. and of advocacy groups win at the supreme court opposing segregation opposing various forms inequality. This just a whole body of litigation that derek bell is an important part of but he's looking around the landscape even as early as the nineteen seventies. Look around the landscape of black america. They're still disproportionate poverty. Still disproportionate infant mortality. Still under unemployment and underemployment. Still all the disparities that we talk about and so and most tellingly the segregation. In though he raised the question that remained no wants to raise. If we did was so momentous why do we still have the same problem. And so critical race theory comes out of that face despite what conservatives and reactionaries of said lied lied about critical race theory being anti white a being some sort of Blacks supremacist form of racism of these other things. They have a He doesn't have anything to do with any of those things. It is tc of antidiscrimination law antidiscrimination policy and theory about how racial subordination is able to reassert itself. After each wave of reforms form until derek bell had the courage and integrity to ask those questions even as it necessarily raised doubts on his own heroism. He had been praised for the work that he did as he should have been. But it's one thing to to be able to say. I did this work. I risk my life to mississippi. We fought suits. We won these lawsuits. And it's another thing to be able to say. But i'm not sure that bill the difference if people think they made and there are those people who can do that more m. ip after this message remmy martin joins with international music star.

Not only as we commemorate. The fiftieth anniversary of the great march on washington led by john. Lewis knocked king eight sula brand dolls dorothy height but also to deal with some of the very pressing issues of the day in a new issue has developed. We'll get into that momentarily but a new issue has developed that we really have to address. We add up in working on the march. We came with lieutenant us including in filibuster restoring voting rights. H afforded reparations commission. Bill all of these things ending the war against runner. Frankly that some phraseology. I've met got. I'm stuck on that. Some people don't want to say this war against anymore out. I was old phrase mar from a couple years ago. But when did we we have to be very careful about. Declaring war ended that really have not ended in any event will gather no salary saturday. We invite you to go to make good trouble. Rally dot com. Go to make good trouble. Rally dot com to find out more. There's a lot that we have to fight for nineteen sixty three. They were days of civil disobedience which led up to august twenty eighth nineteen sixty three march on washington and then after on this tornado. Nineteen sixty three. There were mortaring actions more civil disobedience as a matter of fact so this is really opportunity for everyone to come together to reset to recharge the batteries and we focus on why we all are here and what we are fighting for jobs and freedom was the thing in nineteen sixty three. That was the demand in here. We are in twenty twenty one. We've got more debates restoring. Voting rights ran in dc statehood in ending filibuster. Bring hr floyd to the raising the minimum wage to fifteen dollars investing in workers canceling student debt. Reimagining public safety ending. Mass incarceration follows a Imagine public safety Before against deferment of police but wherever you are on that spectrum it's gotta be about reimagined in public safety because what's taking place right now is not public safety with. The current state of policing is not public safety ending gun violence funding piece resisting. The war against women classes discrimination hating phobias of all times reversing climate change building green economy. Then there's this reforming immigration in creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented. People make good trouble rally. That cost so the issue is said about being involved in a war and not realizing it's it is over out. Talking about war. Gets runner could also mix that applicable to what has been going on in afghanistan. Ladies gel in afghanistan this war has gone on for far too wrong. now i'm that one who is opposed to criticize presidents. But i'm not interested in making stuff up you so let's remind ourselves how we got into this. Let's remind ourselves how we became so caught up in this situation. Okay and really we becky further then then maybe what i initially started thinking about because as i said you all lose listen. Listen to make it plain out big consistent. We all know that my statements have been that afghanistan is embassy that is a place where empires buddha war ultimately go to die. So if america is you not vanquished as a nation because of his involvement in afghanistan. America's coming out pretty well remember. America lured the soviet union into afghanistan and that ultimately is brought down. The soviet union and crew fought the soviet union in afghanistan but di under the leadership of one osama bin lot. Malcolm suffering pays for saying malkovich for saying the chickens have come home to roost down on a with chickens. Come home from this. This current afghanistan situation but chickens are gonna be coming home to roost. We'll see what they are. This robot shoe law incense you incenses me. you have. The bush administration former bush administration official mark visa. Now a i guess. A fox contribute taking a shot at by over afghanistan here. He is with dana. Perino will dana to shoot. Nina's of a bush bush administration official. Oh yes would network busy. you know. We're visit none other than fox news. Take a listen one thing that the administration has been doing for president. Biden's statements even the secretary of defense secretary of state in the national security adviser. They're using a lot of numbers rice. I watch these speech. Did you listen to them and is trying to kill you. Us number there many people and it feels like a checklist and it feels like. It's missing the point but not in. It doesn't seem to match what we're hearing from people who are working to try to get american citizens and interpreters out of afghanistan. What do you think about that as kind of like a crutch to get through. Well i think that providing numbers is useful but if the numbers are congress you say it's contrary to what we're seeing on the ground Than than the numbers don't matter it's like the words don't matter if the if the word you know i was in the bush administration from two thousand four two thousand nine and during the worst part of the iraq war no matter what. The president says If we didn't turn around the battle on the ground it didn't matter what he said. Our words only started having an effect on public opinion. When you want. The surgeon be turned around the battle of these that we were. Were winning the grout. And so you know the numbers. I'd like to see our. How many americans are there less that you haven't That you haven't collected yet. How many afghans are there leads Who our allies that. We haven't elected yet winter. What is what does that number.

Shukeir joins us so make it plain dr shakir. Thank you for joining us. Thank you mark for having. I'm really looking forward our conversation. And it's an honor to have heavy. So ma'am what's what's going on was delayed. We need boosters while let me just start by saying that we know we have we effective and very safe vaccines year in the united states. That are doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Which is protecting us from severe a ovid. Nineteen including hospitalizations of this. Now what we've been seeing in the data with been learning from science as over time. The vaccine effectiveness is waning against infection. Particularly mild and moderate section. Still moving up really well. Against hospitalizations invests in so our medical experts or a withheld experts are now recommending that we launched a booster around that we will be making available beginning september twentieth or everybody has gotten both doses of the pfizer or the vaccine and they will be ready for easter shot. Eight months after their second dose. So for example reverend. I got my second. Visor does on february twenty eight so my sister shot will be due on october. Twenty eight eight months later down the so. You mentioned sizable during a good about the people who take the joss. Well we do believe that people who have gotten johnson johnson will meet a booster at some point. Now keep in mind. We've started administrating. Johnson and johnson in march so that was three and a half months after responded. Administering the amarna vaccines. We're going to need a little bit more time to get the data at the analysis to see what it would look like to have a booster shot or j. j. but we do believe you will also need a booster shop for the j. j. wall. Okay very well and to be clear. Is it built variant itself that necessitates through this there do things that are happening here. That are will actually weekly suffer. The first thing is we are seeing that over time we are seeing a waning effect of the back. See when it comes to faction and that includes both symptomatic in a symptomatic infection. The second thing is we are seeing that. The vaccine effectiveness is relatively high still or severe disease. That includes hospitalizations that so. That's good news now. We're also seeing the third piece that the vaccine effectiveness So because of all these three things and because we want to stay ahead of this virus that's why our medical experts political experts are recommending.

Prime podcast but musicians getting away with murder and behave very badly. Bow disgraced land on amazon music. So you don't miss any true crime. Antics now only on amazon music. What about people not to yet to be vaccinated At all would you still suggested. They stay on the same if ahead get vaccinated. Get your first vaccination but know that you may need a booster down the road as well. I guess you'd better question if people just getting vaccinated today You feel that they that will hold them. Slow the requisite. I guess eight months until they're ready to do you feel protected enough against reverend mark. I'm so glad you brandon's question. It is extremely important. It's more important today than ever for people who are unvaccinated to get vaccinated right away you just remember. We almost have two hundred million people in this country with at least one shot of the backseat. Two hundred million people so. I'm so excited about this. But the fact remains we still have over eighty five million people in this country who are eligible for the vaccine will vaccinated and for this group. They have to get vaccinated asap yesterday. They should have been vaccinated a months ago. Six months ago. It's really important that we get these folks vaccinated because the fact remains if you're unvaccinated you continue to be at risk of patching this virus and unfortunately continue to be at risk of hospitalizations. That's in you'll look reference mark you look at the overwhelming majority of hospitalizations in this country. There amongst those who are unvaccinated. You look at the overwhelming majority of. That's in this country. They are almost all unvaccinated. So we know vaccines were and for those folks to protect themselves to predict their communities for their families. They have to vaccinate it. You know you're you're you're right And and i guess we've all got a little lax in. I think the thinking was well. Show me millions of people exiting maybe arrest of us. Don't get it. And that's that's not the answer at all absolutely we have to get everybody who's unvaccinated vaccinated and look. I know that there are people still have questions. Legitimate questions about the vaccine's. Hey if you have questions to your doctor schedule an appointment with your doctor. Dr your friends. Your relative your faith leader your community leader that trust about their experience in getting them vaccinated. Listen to the stories of people who didn't want to get vaccinated ended up in the.

"Not mark dobson. Lazy gentlemen as i was in texas bishop barber on the march from georgetown to austin texas standing up for voting rights in texas texas has become one of the ground zeroes if not be ground zero in this voting rights movement in this movement to stop voter suppression. Who better to talk to this hour. And the president of the state conference at the end of lacey pe- in texas. Are you a friend and brother. Longtime supporter of the show was well. He's one of making plays biggest for mobile people. He about making plane from gary bledsoe. I saw gear bless zone. He was telling me about show mark so we always appreciate him. Gary welcome back to make a plane brother. How are you oh pretty good. Mark always glad to be here. And you know. I've always been a continued be. What are your biggest fads. So i then named thanking better thank you so tell us about the state conference. Of course a gary is an activist attorneys. Will everyone a scholar in. Tj jellab festive. Tell us would what the state conferences is doing how it's taking on the issues with texas state legislature while we worked very closely with the texas legislature blackhawks during the session. We went to the new leadership. There nicole collier an rentals. They have a really good insight and they have a beautiful attitude towards partnering with other african american organization so we work very closely with them. We work very close. With the league of women voters league of united latin american citizens and we did many events from taking out full page ads and and newspapers to coordinating individuals to show up and testify against the bills to rewriting the bills and getting many of our admits pass with version. That ultimately was not adopted but would have been much better if it had been adopted so it goes on and on the number of activities we had with the different communities different faith groups whether it was christian churches are our synagogues are moss. We had Religious people from all over that would be there with us and we continue to do that even since the regular session. We had rally two weeks ago. In austin with the league of women voters texas impact and league of united latin american citizens trying to continue to bring attention. And we're working with ministers now to try to work together different sermons or what have you citing scripture on one of the rabbis. It's such a tremendous job. I wanted to reach out to a some of the christian ministers to get them to do the same thing and so they're trying to put that together in terms of how we get into the church houses and start influencing people that can make a difference. Because you know we're in a different world now. It's not like it was when thurgood marshall and charles hamilton. Houston felt those battles. We're talking right now to people who really don't care i with martin luther king new and thurgood marcin. Those guys is that he might be conservative but those a certain way to reach many of the folks who were in power that time. We're in a different date now. People are indeed movement politicians movement judges. So right or wrong has no moment in quotient. The only thing that matters is whether or not you continue in office and so we have to look for those levers to try to move people so we try to make sure that we're sophisticated. And so that. The limited time and resources that we have and actions that we can take because we're all limited because of our numbers and we try to do that strategically so that we can try them a move the ball and try to get people who can notes the decision makers Texas you said something really prophetic earlier. Because we really are the ground zero right now and not because i'm trying to be protected. I wish we weren't rounds of bieber honest with you because of our population numbers Texas was forty nine point. Four percent of his adult population in two thousand ten were african american and latino and that number has grown eighty percent of texas growth is black brown and asian has since two thousand ten so we're looking at fears of a majority minority population and so that more than the trump lie is at is. What's at the root of what's occurring in texas people trying to make sure that black and brown people and not able to share power and so they're coming up with all kinds of different ideas and initiatives the the laws that were this pastime where extremely well thought out there were thought out Think tanks with a lot of money behind them and they sought ways and found ways to undermine voter efforts for people who look like us who think like us to start from the very beginning from vote registration. Go all the way through high. You actually count ballots You know it was so incredible that they had things that were actually included in the bill. That came out of the the committee that was conference committee of the senate and the house. After the past different versions. They came up with twenty pages of new laws and think about that twenty new laws and then once it's revealed the violence. The trump law allow a judge in space of his own whim to make a decision to change the outcome of an election. Everyone says well. We didn't put it in there when we when they destroyed soles to the polls They said well. We don't know how that have so as pretty amazing to me that you've got twenty pages of new legislation and that they were trying to force the democrat democrats to vote on and they didn't even know i got in there while the so important the way you try to make the democrats vote on it. Yeah yeah so on wednesday state. Legislators from around the country came to dc in support of the texas state. Legislators who left the state to prevent corum. And i believe friday is the thirty day in special session. So this thing won't get through. But i believe the governor is still threatening avenue still threatening to call one special session after another correct until this is until he's to push this voter suppression legislation through correct will pushed it through. But that's his plan. And so i need to be succesion and so i'm hoping one thing that we've the house members have been candidate leaders on this because they're the ones who broke warm but the same law applies in the senate. And so what. I'm hoping is that the senators We need to more democratic senators to break ranks nine. Did their thirteen. It takes eleven to break warm in the senate so we're hoping that somehow the democratic senators can break rank this time so you don't have so much own the house members because i think what the leadership in texas feels is that all they need to do is keep having special session after special session and they'll break the backs of the democrat legislated. Because how long can you stay out. How expensive is and how much is a personal cost. You your family your business. So i think that. That's what's actually being done now. But i i think that we we have some potential. We just need to put together efforts to try to to get two of those other four.

"For calling semilla Mark Dobson. Good. Well God bless you all been an eventful few days over the weekend. First of all, joining, the Poor People's campaign, selma-to-montgomery style, March from Georgetown, Texas, to Austin, Texas state, capitol covering, all those. My name is Adam Carolla them, they did but I joined them on Friday and had an opportunity To talk to Bishop Barber. One of the leaders of the Poor People's campaign, along with the Reverend doctor live steel Harris. Who was also am the co-chair of the Poor People's campaign. But for those who don't know, Texas is trying to pass on the most egregious. Voter suppression laws and you probably do know though and you've heard from on the news about the Texas lawmakers, who the Democrats, who left the state to avoid there, being a quorum for the special session that the Texas legislature had convened. And so that is Pretty much what the March was all about. And as we said before this, this struggle is going to be local because election boards are local. Boards of elections are either Statewide and local and so that's what the Poor People's campaign did. So on Friday had an opportunity to speak with Joseph, Bishop Barber and It's still very popular Beto O'Rourke. How how you feeling about today? Well, feeling good, man. Of people. Here are incredible and the fact that we limited 2025 but we had to turn back down. 100 plan, that lets me know that something's in this country people are not on this, except this line down. Yep. Yeah, you you say you've been invited to meet with them. Yeah. An October and the Eastern Orthodox spoke with Jeffrey Sachs economies, and, and that is going to be a lot about what we're talking about here in terms of the economy, right? And people being treated unfairly in this, in this economy and working class people around the world, yes, right. And the whole conference is a with Bishops, religious leaders, both folks on poverty. You know, the pope recently said that when it comes to pave, the world is going backwards because of the tricks and the and the and the end up, magical formulas of of neoliberalism that leaves you can live from the middle of a trickle-down. It means you can trickle from down from birth. What will the state of Texas? And it's legislature. And his government to see tomorrow is Barbara, ain't no telling they going to see the people had a whole lot of them had a lot of diversity. That's more important. They're going to hear the boss because we leave Texas, we're going to be yes, sir, I already already. I talked to over a thousand passengers and low-wage workers today, who are ready to act in non-violent the butt Shack in DC on my end. And then we'll be with, you know, this is Barbara Bradford better you've been on this March the whole way, haven't you? Yeah, starting Georgetown, we just got to Austin. So how is this being received citizens here in Texas people responding well, and really getting caught up in a movement. Just been a lot of support along the way. And then a lot of folks have made plans to come out tomorrow Saturday to be at the capital cuz they suck up the number of participants in the March. There's no cap tomorrow. So by the number of people who are asleep. It looks like there's a lot of support object. What are your plans? And you thought anymore about what you going to do a job? Going forward. No I'm going real focused on this. I want to make sure we win this, this fight for the right to vote, get the for the people act passed. Stop voter suppression in Texas and then I'm going to see what I can do to be most helpful, but that's the same for the moment. I guess we can say, is no point you running. If the people who would vote for you are denied the right to vote. I mean, just that's why you have to be in there. So it might not matter who's running, if you don't have free and fair elections, that's absolutely right. So that's that's the fight to focus on for now.

Then there was a big rally off on Saturday, at the state capitol, we broadcast on Roland Martin, unfiltered in its entirety, but I was also able to speak to several folks in the crowd to talk to them about why they were at the state capital in Texas. All right, Brothers, what are your names? My name is Imran if he's dead. Beckett mufson. All right. What brings you guys out today? We've come a father. Yeah my my father actually told me about the Poor People's campaign. He was arrested in Sacramento and 2018 protesting for our rights and for the poor people who represented fairly by our politicians instead of the corporate Elites. And we're here, carrying in that tradition and and carrying on in the fight, in our own way. Jose, what about um Raleigh brought you out here? Well my my powerful brother and his father so often inspired by was anything that stood viral. Yeah it was anything about today that stood out to you, mostly really trust you. I mean it's been a long year but having a bit of solidarity like this where all these different people are coming together. Speak truth to power to stand up for the rights of poor people to stand up for the rights to vote. If this if this is what America looks like and how can they bring home? Yeah. We protested last year after the murder of George Floyd and we were tear-gassed Sandell raden. I was very grateful. Not to have either of those things happened to us today. Yeah, we didn't know what the vibe was going to be like but I mean I just thought More Americans should be less more willing to actually mobilize and and plan and strategize, and come out and do this kind of thing. And it's, it's very easy to be alone and private and frustrated. But, you know, it charges you up to come out. Yeah. Feels good to take action in it, you know, cuz you can just sit home be depressed. We don't do that when you get out and it makes you feel better done it off. Yeah. That's the only thing that's ever change to do. And one of the hardest parts about this last year, is not being able to do this or not feeling safe doing this. Connecting with people in person and we're very, very happy to be vaccinated and to be feeling safe among our people and, and getting together to hold the people in power accountable, and you guys going to stay involved, right? Oh yeah, stay in struggling. We're still here. All right, thank you, Brothers, hay khong, appreciate you both. All right, we're here at the Texas state capitol. First of all, brother, what's your name? Joelle Joelle and what's your name bro? Robert Robert. So, what brings you Brothers out here today? Pretty much would be a voice to be heard.
