Tavis talks with former White House counter-terrorism advisor Richard Clarke and revisits his conversation with actor Laurence Fishburne.
Richard Clarke
Richard Clarke has advised four presidents—from Reagan to George W. Bush—on national security. An internationally recognized expert, he was the country's first counter-terrorism czar. After criticizing the Bush administration's 9/11 response, Clarke left federal service. He now teaches at Harvard's Kennedy School, is an on-air ABC News consultant and chair of Good Harbor Consulting. He's also a best selling author, whose books include Against All Enemies, The Scorpion's Gate and Your Government Failed You.
Laurence Fishburne
Laurence Fishburne has an impressive list of stage, TV and film credits and the honors to match—Emmys, a Tony and an Oscar nod. He made his acting debut at age 10 on the New York stage and gave a breakthrough performance in the film, Boyz N the Hood, going on to become the first African American to play Othello on screen. Fishburne returns to Broadway for the first time in nine years, starring as Justice Thurgood Marshall in the one-man show, Thurgood. He can also be seen in the feature drama, 21.
