And that call and response was such a, I get chills thinking about it because I heard this happen a number of times over the years.

The other time that many people may have remembered is when he appeared on Saturday Night Live and read Dr. Seuss's book, Green Eggs and Ham.

It's hard to imagine a politician today, and he had just run for president.

It's hard to imagine a president today so seriously, but also so hilariously reading a nonsensical book like that.

But the way he delivered it, the tone, the tenor, his cadence was just, it's amazing.

If you go back and watch the recording, you can hear the studio audience just rolling on the floor laughing at the way he presented it.

Oh, I think so.

I mean, Jesse Jackson was present in the lives of people for decades.

And I remember being in Minneapolis when he came and spoke to the crowds who were protesting about the death of George Floyd, about the trial for Derek Chauvin.

And I remember talking to young black men in particular about

who had known him all of their lives, who had grown up hearing him, who had grown up seeing him, and to have him lend his weight to their cause, that was really powerful.

And I have to tell you, one of those young men that I covered back years ago, he was recently arrested, along with Don Lemon, in the church as part of the protests from the ICE actions.

And so I think his legacy really...

really will last many, many years as it just, he sort of embodied this kind of protest and civil consciousness and civil conscience that really spoke to millions of Americans.

Of course.

Good to be here.

Well, it was fascinating in my conversations, you know, and our conversations were supposed to be focused on the economy.

But what we really found was that, you know, how you see the country and how you see the economy is very much based on whether or not you support President Trump.

I didn't find a lot of folks who supported the president who criticized him.

They tended to say that what he's doing is what he was elected to do.
