The next five minutes has him interviewing a current college athlete, Lexis Garcia, who read the book.
Be Kind to Everyone
Mark Twain said it best when he stated that “Kindness is a gift that the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
Ellen Degeneres came under fire when she was caught on camera at a nationally televised Dallas Cowboys game sitting next to former U.S. President George Bush. It seems that some people are so angry and disagreeable that they think everyone else should be also.
It got so bad that Ellen had to address it on her show the next day.

Since then, he has been retained by presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Elliot is one of only 94 U.S. marshals appointed by the president to oversee a judicial district within their state. He is the longest-serving U.S. Marshal in Ohio history.
