THIS WEEK'S TRANSCRIPT

come across the threat now, I'm reminded of a story that I told a few weeks ago and

who was with her eight-year-old daughter cell Korea and a family friend out driving
around. They had just gotten done eating dinner and they turned off of an Atlanta
interstate and they were stopped by an armed mob of protesters. They had created
kind of this human barricade that after the fatal shooting of Richard Brooks by an
Atlanta police officer there now,
The protesters ended up opening fire on the vehicle and it the guy that was driving
