former special counsel robert muller recently appeared before the u.s. congress to answer questions about his investigation of president trump and russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign president has repeatedly claimed that your court found there was no obstruction and that it completely and totally exonerated. that is not what your report said is it. correct it is not what the report said. the report did not include he did not commit
12:23 pm
a structure of justice that is correct for many democrats there are strong grounds for impeaching donald trump but with republicans remaining firmly in his corner it's becoming symbolic of america's partisan divide it's starting to look like you're having desperately tried and failed to make a legal case against the president you made a political case instead you put it in a paper sack lit on fire dropped it on our porch rang the doorbell and ran i don't think you will review a record that is as thorough as fair as consistent as a report that we have in front of us history is repeating itself i would say the trumpet ministration is contrast competition with what happened in the nixon administration john dean is a former white house counsel whose 973 testimony helped seal the fate of president richard nixon in watergate he also appeared before congress recently and sounded a warning about partisan division and incivility there's too much polarization in the sunset in the questioning sitting here and the shots that get taken that
12:24 pm
witnesses the president trump exacerbates political polarization in the u.s. but it is the result of a social sorting process between the parties that began with the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960 s. it's culminated in the formation of democratic and republican parties made up of distinctive racial ethnic and religious groups we are at the inclusion of basically a 60 year political journey and it's a disaster. there because the parties have divided over fundamental visions of the national character the drug man is a senior fellow in the political reform program at the think tank new america the republican party basically sees the true national identity of america as in the past a time when america was a white christian nation it's a traditionalist vision and then we have another party democratic party as a very different vision of america it's a more secular place it's more progressive and it celebrates diversity so the
12:25 pm
fundamental problem today is that politics is no longer about battles over resources but about battles over what it means to be an american yeah the 2 sides are casting each other as fundamentally un-american so pal could you possibly compromise with them. this clash over values has led to the sorting of the parties along geographic lines in the 2016 election trump one decisively in the 2300 counties that make up small town in rural america but in cities hillary clinton beat trump in a landslide. continuing our investigation into toxic partisanship in the us by focusing on north carolina as a microcosm of the nation we headed for charlotte biggest city in this state. some areas of the state's very you know it's hard hard for democrat to get elected some and now the cities it's very hard for a republican to get elected and in a metropolitan area is a group of people that tend to be highly educated more moderate and liberal in their views white and black or is becoming whiter and older and
12:26 pm
areas are becoming more diverse 8 percent of north carolina's population is foreign born 51 percent from latin america i know low benton caller who owns this bakery immigrated from columbia in 1000 years ago when trauma decided to run for president as one i got involved with we had democratic party. and then latino. all 59 percent of north carolina's latino population is u.s. born but there are about 100000 undocumented immigrants i'm sure didn't think change once trump was elected yes a lot of destroying families you know the father some modest away from their kids in charlotte illegal immigrants were being deported with the help of the local sheriff was working with federal immigration and customs enforcement ice under a program called 287 g. so benton corin a group of local activists helped elect a new sheriff basically expand the reach of ice and deputized his local
12:27 pm
sheriff's deputies to place foreign nationals entering mobile proceedings the 287 g. we well aware of what the problems were with that and how women were suffering and afraid to go places children were not attending school out of fear that something would happen during the school day before the sheriff's election in may 2018 activists hit the streets with a score card highlighting the differences between the incumbent erwin carmichael and his challengers the american civil liberties union also ran radio ads carmichael's challengers baton and they pledged to stop working with trump's deportation for gary mcfadden a homicide detective for 27 years one becoming the 1st african-american sheriff ever in charlotte and his 1st day in office he ended his department's involvement in 287 we already had communities with mistrust you know no matter what happens in a community the community says you do not tell the police and to 87 g.
12:28 pm
just compounds the problem because of fear that you will be deported or you'll be targeted by do you think a lot of folks got caught up in the deportation process who shouldn't have been because of 287 yes a lot of people got caught off a small crimes driving with no license seatbelt violation as long as you got into the criminal justice system he will part of the deal. poor taste in process ice responded to mcfadden's decision to end cooperation by mountain an aggressive enforcement effort in charlotte accusing him of being soft on crime so i think the fish that you see that there is a one out of here is dangerous it found in other sheriffs of north carolina's largest urban counties are now battling legislation pushed by republicans that would force them to cooperate with ice or be removed from office do you think there's any way to compromise with people who favor aggressive vice enforcement absolutely not how do you compromise on taking the father out of the home in
12:29 pm
leaving a mother with her children destitute with no support there's no way to compromise there is no possible models to doing the same thing that they did in slavery they just picked another group of people to do it now you can keep it can actually growing by making people disposable when you get tired or using them in brand name the enemy and you send him back to mexico or central america like republicans in washington d.c. republicans in north carolina representing grohl districts have been accused of fueling partisan tensions by pushing policies on immigration and other issues opposed by urban resident puppy and legislature in north carolina is bigfooting the cities because the cities are more liberal and more democratic and they're conducting policies that like what's driving that their fences on immigration very sharp difference about whether it's good for the country to have a lot of people coming in from america countries or it is somehow rody americans
12:30 pm
authenticity in some cases it is economic competition what do you think is at the root of the urban rural divide so we have one half of the state that's dynamic and it's growing fast and the young people are leaving the small town the royer has to come work in raleigh or charlotte because that's where the jobs of the future are and the other half you have a dying north carolina the royals are really struggling with economic decline. and of course you're going to have a huge harben world abide if that's that's the case. to better understand the economic laws that they're about to buy we headed west to the foothills of the appalachian mountains it's an area with conservative leanings rasmussen. for most of the 20th century could also find coming textile mills and furniture factories in small towns here every rival the industry in the american midwest but nearly 19 eighties all began to change.
12:31 pm
so how long have you been involved in economic development or about 30 years chuck moseley witnessed firsthand the decline of the textile and furniture industries in the burke county town of val d's and to surrounding area we had 7000 people that will be here during the day and i'm a little down but now we've probably got 2000 people that work in our town and so that's quite a difference this is the wall bench and plant and they down about 81 or 82 they they were one time raved about 5th in the world and i was reading business what kind of impact did that have on the economy here a major impact because that was the number one source of income for valleys in the neighboring town of the north and caldwell county also lost thousands of jobs in the furniture industry due to imports from asia and the outsourcing of production to the region but we were so focused on furniture and on textiles people weren't trying to do anything else so when those jobs left you know they just had to take
12:32 pm
whatever was left over you know i saw that actually the unemployment rate has improved a lot they're finding jobs the biggest problem is that they're barely above minimum wage so this looks like a shutdown plan we've got them all over the area here guarantee. i wouldn't be surprised if i walk out of it and live probably 10000 jobs in the 1st in team history here to what extent did we're. the trade deals for the economic problems that they're face you hear a lot of it you know if they hey wait a minute let's bring that industry back and do it in america. so a lot of resentment among workers here that the politicians let him down you know at the coffee shop that was that's all they are more interested in the dollar from wall street than they are the people that are making the furniture and the families they're raising in this country. during the 2016 presidential race donald trump's campaign targeted north carolina voters in hard hit and just really are living
12:33 pm
through the greatest steps in the history of our world a truck that ministry will stop the jobs from leaving him and tried leaving north carolina. trump received 67 percent of the vote burke county and 73 percent caldwell county record levels of support for republican presidential candidates trump was saying stuff like bring manufacturing back they care about the little people support for trump and the stars are for america's past where evan invalides at near is classic car cruisin on friday night i think trust to a great people or whatever but his policies are working for your average american i think a lot of people were looking for a big change and trump is not a politician he doesn't look at things the way typically old politicians look at us do you think people in this area support president trump in terms of his policy on immigration in america i think so i'd say 80 percent most of the people here or
