Guest Michael Graham of the NH Journal is live in NY talking to VB and guest co-host Tom Shattuck about tonight's State of the Union that will be delivered.
Actor Liam Neeson was asked in an interview about how he relates to his characters and taps into their emotions and shares a story about how years ago a friend told him she was raped by a black man and it sparked some primal rage in him that he can think back to when it comes to playing revengeful characters. His statements cause uproar and Neeson goes onto Good Morning America to clarify and talk about it.
