Throwback to this past Friday.....I watched last week's Rackel Maddow shows on demand as promised to theosgma and posted some of my takeaways on Friday's thread. Didn't want today's news thread to be political or non-glittery....lol. bamafan, I also watched Rachel Maddow on Friday. I have watched Rachael along with CNN off and on for the past few years to get the other side of the story. I read your takeaway on Friday's thread and I believe it was an accurate picture of her show. If any of the more left leaning among you would like to hear the other side of the story. Mark Levin, Fox News interviewed two black men, Shelby Steele and Bob Woodson, on his Sunday show today. Both of these men have been through civil rights movements since the fifties and I think the infomation they shared may surprise you. Also, on Monday Shaun Hannity will be inertiewing Alice Marie Johnson. Let's see if we can try to understand where the other person is coming from....that's a start. Thanks ceecee.....I agree. I watched Mark Levin tonite and I love Bob Woodson. Have seen him on Tucker's show. Alice Marie Johnson is an angel....looking forward to that.

Also, on Monday Shaun Hannity will be inertiewing Alice Marie Johnson. Let's see if we can try to understand where the other person is coming from....that's a start. I had actually thought to do this by messaging rather than on the list so it didn't continue being so political. But I do need to say that as agreed, I watched Tucker Carlson from last Monday evening - already a long time ago in this crazy week. The videos were horrible and these riots have no place in this country. However, the presentation was one sided. He denied the reality of any of the massive peaceful protests. Now I know this was the Monday night after the worst weekend so I do wonder if he turned around during the week and acknowledged the another side. Carlson did lay blame on Republican leaders and Democratic leaders which was fair. But Tucker is focused on equating protestors with opportunistic looters and thugs. From our vantage point today, we know that the peaceful protestors started doing self-policing and helped curbed the thugs and things have mainly calmed down. I think what I took as the most hypocritical segment was his valid critiscm of a police chief talking about "his people". Tucker called him out on that and rightly said that the shefiff was charged with protecting all people and that kind of language was wrong. Well, I don't want to be inflammatory but this is just the kind of language the President uses and has used from the beginning. He has rarely been inclusive and is responsible for exacerbating the polarization. Most people in the country agree with that. So that segment I felt was disingenuious. Tucker is a bright man. I think he has a certain clarity and he should be outraged at the footage he showed. We all are. But I did see more fairness on CNN etc. in terms of covering both sides of the protest. But as I said, maybe it was because it was the Monday after that awful weekend with so many using the situation to their own nefarious advantage. I will be interested to see if the tone changes now that things are calmed down but I suspect he will really go off on the defund theme when again, it is an extreme segment of the left. I think the majority wants to see police reform with respect to some of the practices and I think there is going to be legislation introduced this week. Probably won't go anywhere but it answers Tucker's question about what do the people want? He seemed to think they didn't have an agenda, that they just wanted to riot. But they do. They want less police brutality. ETA Saw the posts above and I agree that we should be watching both sides. Exactly why I started this conversation. There is no hope unless we understand what shapes us and where the meeting ground can be. It is not about winning; it is about a functioning consensus. We will always argue but it needs to be from that place of finding the way through with the hope that all of us want what is fair and we are fair about the process.

So glad he got to go. I think we all know he wanted to.

Why are people trying to get anyone to listen to these right wingers? If you enjoy them and believe in them that is great for you. But I have heard what they have had to say for years and not interested. The racism, bigotry, homophobia and unwillingness to help get weapons of mass destruction off the streets is enough. Little kids and teens and teachers are gunned down is school and they make excuses. So I don't need to hear anything from them. I find them disgusting and dangerous. There is no other side for me. We are told NOT to talk politics here but people keep telling us to listen to these nuts and try to understand. NO THANKS!!!! Anyone who wants to listen to FOX will listen but no one needs to be told that they will be smarter and more enlightened (not even Adam) if they do. Sorry for the rant but Adam is not out there marching for that sh**.
Very nice to see Adam out there taking a stand for human and equal rights. Proud of that man.

Originally live webcast to Chinese fans, this was the second concert on the Original High Tour at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, Shanghai, China on January 5th, 2016. This early set list included the live performance of the power ballad "There I Said It" and the reggae version of "If I Had You", both of which were dropped on the US portion of the tour. Adam did perform the reggae acoustic version of "If I Had You" at the recent Velvet mini tour in 2020. (Sorry the lip-sync is a bit off in some parts but the mono audio is crystal clear and Adam's voice is front and center) youtu.be/vKgVjbcW1eU
