7:13 pm
many new york city police officers don't trust mayor bill de blasio. one political commentator calls the relationship toxic. joining me is cnn political commentator and republican strategist. and liz brown, columnist for the "st. louis american newspaper." thank you for coming on. i spoke to andrew dossi, his son was shot last night. i asked if there was tension between his son and the mayor when he visited him in the hospital. he didn't want to get into that. there is tension between the nypd and the mayor. what can be done to solve this problem? >> well i don't blame these officers. i mean the rank-and-file. the ones out there every day. putting their lives on the line to protect the people of new york city. the overwhelming majority of them do that with distinction and honor. and here you have a mayor who
7:14 pm
has clearly created a perception whether he feels that way or not that he is not on the side of his police officers. and that's a problem for any major city mayor. so the first thing that the mayor need to do is he need to humble himself and apologize. need to apologize to men and women in uniform who he offended with his comments. saying that you know alleged assaults when it was clear that police officers were assaulted by protesters during one of the protests. and some of the other things he said concerning his son. these things are not helpful in a situation like this where you need to have the support of your local police officers if you are going to be successful running the city. it's benen a contentious relationship from day one with the mayor. he ran against policies and tougher policing of the last administration. going into it there was tension. this hasn't made the situation any better. he need to apologize. >> do you agree, liz? he has to apologize? >> the question i would have to
7:15 pm
ask, aapproximately jazz for what? apologize for acknowledging that his african-american son experienced things differently than the white community? apologize for saying that everybody has the right to speak in in the city. and it's -- it is remarkable to me that that there is -- a request being made of this mayor to apologize for talking lovingly compassionately about the life experience of his african-american son. >> okay liz. point taken. here its the thing that struck me last night. that charles ogeltree said he says, no may youror has been successful in new york city without the support of the police department. the reality maybe he feels one way. as tara is saying should he humble himself to the police department to try to to mitigate what's happened? >> again, you're asking someone
7:16 pm
to humble themselves for what? to what end? and for what? we have police officers who are asking the community, asking the world that's watching this we are lawful people right? we should be supported because we do lawful things. and yet they are not following the rules. they are, they are engaging in work slowdowns. they are, are tlaer not folnot following the rules. the may your has to be mindful. acknowledge that. has to respond to that. i don't think anybody, very few mayors in new york have had pleasant positive consistently positive relationships with the police. awe rudy giuliani and bloomberg, over 20 years with their support of the police. you've will have union disputes. that's fine.
7:17 pm
at this level. a different story. you had 2,000 murders in 1990. down to 328 now. they were allowed to have successful policing aggressive policing to protect the people of new york city. this is a different place. you can't sit here and say no mayor has been successful. that is not true. >> i said few mayors. >> even hang on. >> even according to tara liz. >> at what cost? >> police commissioner bill bratten, all mayors have issues with the police department. >> absolutely. >> that's part of it. part of the job. >> listen. these officers are literally, they turned their backs on the mayor i you look at the military. 15% or so active duty service members approve of president obama. you don't see them turning their back on him. isn't there a chain of command that exists. don't officers need to respect the office tara first? then liz. >> yes, they need to respect the office. but again, i understand their frustration here. with this. and i, i don't blame them for doing that.
7:18 pm
you know two of their fellow comrades were gunned down in cold blood. assassinated. the protests anti-police rhetoric contributed to the assassination. you have a may your who didn't come out and stand with the police department. and he has someone look al sharpton sitting there, giving him a seat at the table, a race provocateur, shakedown artist like al sharpton giving him, sitting down with the police chief. that is not helpful. >> let liz get in there. >> again we have police officers saying follow the law. follow the rules. and they're not following the rules. the police department is a paramilitary organization. they are required to respond to requests and directions without question without doing anything. so even even in our jobs. if i wore to walk into my office and turn my back on my boss there would be repercussions. >> your shift isn't on the line
7:19 pm
every day when you walk into your office. you didn't have people trying to shoot you and kill you every day. there is a difference. >> there are rules to be followed. even if you don't like the job then you need to leave the job. if you can't follow the rules. you shouldn't be in the job. that's the question. >> sound to me liz. sound to me liz. you are saying this is all about respect. this is how bad it has gotten. some people are criticizing, questioning the mayor's wife's choice of fashion, of pants, she wore jeans to the officers' funeral this weekend. was that disrespectful? >> i don't see how, why we would be talking about this? >> it is a big deal here in new york city. >> i guess fashion would be a big issue. >> a matter of showing respect. i mean she couldn't even put on put on a decembern'tnt suit or dress to go to a funeral. she goes out in jeans. i understand why people would feel some sort of way. >> these are the same people. >> liz, i'll give you the last
7:20 pm
word. >> these are the same people saying because we don't like the word that the mayor spoke. we are going to not do our jobs. we are not going to follow the law. we are not going to adhere to the rules that apply to people and paramilitary organizations. that's ridiculous and indefensible. >> liz, tara. thank you. >> thank you. >> is the ku klux klan on the rise in america? take a look at this billboard in arkansas. part of a recruitment effort? do americans need to be concerned about the kkk in 2015? that's next. discover card. how can i help you? oh, you're real? you know i'm real! at discover, we're always here to talk. good, 'cause i don't have time for machines. some companies just don't appreciate the power of conversation! you know, i like you! i like you too! at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card and talk to a real person.
7:21 pm
sheila! you see this ball control? you see this right? it's 80% confidence and 64% knee brace. that's more... shh... i know that's more than 100%. but that's what winners give. now bicycle kick your old 401(k) into an ira. i know, i know. listen, just get td ameritrade's rollover consultants on the horn. they'll guide you through the whole process. it's simple. even she could do it. whatever, janet. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this.
7:22 pm
7:23 pm
7:24 pm
>> welcome back everyone. the kkk, has resurfaced in harrison arkansas with this billboard. the group that put it up says it is just an ad for a web-based radio station. some say the billboard and other messages turning up around the country are part of a kkk recruitment campaign. >> reporter: a few weeks ago in some small towns near indianapolis indianapolis residents found these fliers delivered like newspapers on the front lawns. the ku klux klan pushing its comeback in the quiet neighborhood of new jersey the klan passed out fliers telling white america to wake up urging people to join the white supreme cyst movement. in harrison arkansas the klan put up the billboard celebrating white pride radio. >> everybody else has to beproud. i don't denied that. >> the kkk is firing up
7:25 pm
recruiting efforts across the country. hate group watch dogs say it is a coordinated effort among various klan organizations driven by anger over racial and political issues. we are in northeast texas, a recruiter with the ku klux klan agreed to meet with us. he said meet him here. he would take us to a wooded secluded area where he would feel more comfortable talking as long as we didn't show his face. this is henry. he asked us to also alter his voice. he is a recruiter with the texas knights. is there a concerted effort to recruit members into the klan right snow. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: in the last few months how many members have you recruited? >> my personal recruitment, since i recruited. over 40. >> reporter: over 40. in the last. >> month. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: if you feel that pride and feel strongly about this why does the klan use the robes and headdress?
7:26 pm
>> because our government consider us right-wing extremists. >> reporter: henry joined the texas knights after meeting people at right-wing political rallies. you think your culture is better than the others? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> reporter: no question? >> no question. >> reporter: blacks hispanics, asians are lesser people? >> yes, i do. >> reporter: director of the center for the study of hate and extremism. he said despite efforts to recruit new members the group is a disappearing relic. >> the klan is not a player. they're masters of smoke and mirrors of trying to appear important, of trying to appear active and appear bigger when in fact they're not. >> reporter: levin says in its heyday of the 20s. the ku klux klan was deeply engrand in american society with nearly 5 million members including elected officials.
7:27 pm
today, levin says the klan has 5,000 members. >> all they can do now is being impotent to america, rather than a true threat. what, what they can do is they can exploit existing racial and ethnic tensions. they can exploit the distrust that americans have in institutions like government and the media. but they as a solitary entity cannot gain traction with getting members. >> a lot of people say the klan is basically a shadow of its former self. >> that's what we want them to think. >> reporter: that's what you want them to think. >> absolutely. >> reporter: you think they're wrong though? >> yeah i would think so. that's how we want the public to see us as a shadow. [ indiscernible ]
7:28 pm
>> reporter: in the dark corners of texas and many other parts of the country, the ku klux klan legacy of hate lives on. >> joining me jeff crockett former mayor of harrison arkansas where the billboard we showed you earlier is. mayor, you're not pleased with this billboard. you were the mayor when it was put up. did you try off toto stop it? >> i did not. it is a freedom of speech issue. they're totally entitled to represent their views any way they want. we might not like it. we don't have to agree to it. we are entitled to represent our views in the way we want. that's what we are fryingtrying to do. >> the community is predominantly white. are they outraged? are they supportive? >> of the billboard. i don't believe they're supportive at all. they would look to see it gone. it causes us loss of tourism,
7:29 pm
causes us loss of some employment here in town. we have had some corporate prospects come through town that have wondered about the billboard. they will about this one. and have have reserved locating here because of it. we have had people trying to transfer into town with companies here that have decided not to move to harrison arkansas move to branson, missouri instead. because they didn't want to raise their kids around what they're afraid might be here. >> the one we showed was one that said anti-racist is code for anti-white. that was earlier. beaver before i got to that. they're not supportive of the billboard. are they supportive of the billboard's message though? >> i don't believe so. not at all. our, our majority of our community is -- is totally acceptive. they want to grow. they want to be welcoming to all people. i don't think they're --
7:30 pm
acceptive of the billboard message at all. >> yeah again the billboard again. that's the second one. that popped up. the, sort of yellow-looking one, fluorescent looking one is the one that popped up earlier. posted in the area last year. you protested this billboard. and why, why are these messages popping up now do you think? >> i don't know why they're popping up. i am sure tom robb will tell you what their position. i imagine they're trying to recruit members. trying to recruit their business. they have a radio station. they have presence. they seldl a lot of klan memorabilia. a business model for them. they have families to support and a business to groechltw. >> thank you, jeff crockett. former mayor of harrison arkansas. i want to bring in the national director of the knights, the kkk, his group is responsible
7:31 pm
for the billboard. he says there is nothing wrong about it and an advertisement about for web based radio station. appreciate you joining me as well. your organization sponsored the billboard. >> that's correct. >> there is so much national tension given the protest as cross the country. i want to get right to the point here. how is this billboard not racist? >> if anybody sees racism in the billboard then they themselves are racist. the billboard just asks white people to do the same thing that every other racial ethnic people in this country is allowed and encouraged to do. nobody would, would be offended if a black put on the billboard, if they love their heritage love their culture, love their people. and they're encouraged to do so. when a white person simply says to love your people. that is kiddedconsidered racism. those people that find racism there are really exposing their own racism.
7:32 pm
>> why do you feel the need to put the billboard up? i haven't seen any, i heart black people i heart hispanic pea. why -- hispanic people? >> white people have the right to love their heritage culture and their people. white people are tired of hearing other races who are encouraged to do that. and yet again when a white person says i love my people. some people call that racism. >> i assume you are aware of history? >> they're really exposing their own racism. >> people remember the by gone days of lynching, men hiding behind white robes. do you understhandand why so many associate the kkk with bigoted organization? >> i don't care what happened 20 30 40 years ago. i am concerned about white people today. and the genocide against white people. >> are you willing to distance yourself from the kkk's previous
7:33 pm
activities? >> i will distance myself from any type of hate. absolutely. i don't believe in hate. i believe black people should love their heritage. asian should love their people. mexicans should love their culture and people. i have no problem with that. my problem is the hypocrisy, that encourages other races to love their people. but wants to demonize and throw mud at a white person who simply says love your people. >> i understand what you are saying. but you also. >> i'm glad you do. many many people do. >> in that statement, if that was that alone. you are saying people should be seg ra gatd seg -- segregated, all white communities, and taken back by the founder. there are a lot of things. >> if you are reading something else in the message. that is your problem. the message is to white people. love your people heritage culture. do the same thing every other race is encouraged to do.
7:34 pm
>> when you go to your website. it listed on the billboard. redirects you to kkkradio.com. internet radio station. you and your family are affiliated with. it says a lot of people recognize that there is an ongoing program of genocide against white people. there are web sites. news letters too many talk about family without including the family. it has always been our mission to not just promote the white family but to make them a part of this cause of a white christian revival. do you believe there its a war on white race? that's what it sounds like? all awe yes. yes. i think it is self-evident. what happened to the country in 50 years. it is self-evident. i think it is self-evident. people pick a sign this billboard and call it racism. shows their racism against white people who want to do nothing more but love their people. off awe do you believe having a community of all colors and religions and background is a
7:35 pm
good thing? >> i am a strong believer in diversity. i believe that black people should have love their people, love their, encourage, love their culture. i have no problem with black people asians i have no problem. any of the people. loving who they are. my my issue is with the hypocrisy wants to demonize a white person who want to have joy and pride in his own racial identity. >> mr. robb thanks for coming on. >> you are welcome. >> how large is the kkk in america in 2015? who is the klan targeting for recruitment? up next, some surprising answers. if you have copd, ask your doctor about once-daily anoro ellipta. it helps people with copd breathe better for a full 24hours. anoro ellipta is the first fda-approved product containing two long-acting bronchodilators in one inhaler. anoro is not for asthma.

>> how strong is the ku klux klan and how dangerous are they? senior fellow at southern poverty law center. and author of "klan-destine relationships." so mark with michael brown and eric garner cases dominating the headlines. it seems like the racial divide in the country is worse than ever. you would think that. do you think this is true? or do you see an increasen enkrescrease in the ku klux klan activities? >> it is true. race relations are not doing well right now. i do not think it is true that the klan is growing.
7:40 pm
the klan is weak. it is poorly led. led by men like tom robb who really can't explain it they're looking for. smaller all the time. an awful lot of press about the klan in the last year. that is something the klan has been promoting. they do a little fliering. they get a story in the newspapers. >> they're using current events in the news as recruitment efforts? >> yes, they are. that is certainly true. but it is mostly bogus. for instance you know, a particular klan group said it was going to go to ferguson and guard white businesses. it claimed to be there with shot guns and so on defending people in ferguson. that simply is not true. the group never showed up. it was simply then trying to make hay while the sun shines. so the same is true of the unaccompanied migrant children at the border crisis that happened late last year. you know a klansman said what
7:41 pm
we should do is go to the border and leave a few corpses that would solve the immigration problem. of course nothing came of that other than headlines. >> who are they targeting with the recruitment efforts? >> well they're making an effort. simply off to bring in anyone they can. for many of these klan leaders, new members mean dues. and there are a number of klan leaders, like tom robb who live off of the dues that members pay them. in the various things. interest in kelts s trinket that's sell. >> are veterans part of this? >> sorry? >> are veterans, returning veterans part of the people they're targeting? >> yeah. veterans are a target of interest, not only for the klan but for groups on the extreme right in general. what these groups say is these are the men and women who will have the skills to fight the race war that is coming any day. so they always -- for many
7:42 pm
many years have been looking at people returning from theaters like afghanistan and iraq. but i don't think there is really much evidence that they're having any particular success in recent years. >> you think they will have the skills. but do they find them particularly vulnerable in any way? >> well to the extent that -- many -- veterans coming back from those war theaters have been damaged or suffering from alien -- alienated, yes, they're more vulnerable. some are more vulnerable than larger society. but i do not think it is true they're recruiting large numbers of military veterans. i don't think thalgt is hapt its happening. >> you are seeking friendships with kkk members. why are you doing that? >> well not necessarily seeking friendships with them. but that has evolved. through out communications. what i do is i get together with
7:43 pm
a lot of these people. and i question them. how can you hate me when you don't even know me? sometimes weep will sill silt down and have lunch. i had lunch with tom robb in harrison arkansas. i sat down with others. i don't hate those people. some of them i denton't believe hate me. i don't support their ideology. some times over time these people end up changing their beliefs. it is not my effort to tripe to get out and convert them. what i am doing is i am putting a human face on people who do not look like them. >> how do they react to you when they seep you you? >> initially. a lot of them did not know i was black before they met me. they were a bit surprised. now they all know i am black. when they call they choose to meet me or not meet me. over time you find that you have more in common with some one than you do in contrast.
7:44 pm
what i seek to do is put a human face on humanity and let them make up their own mind. i have been pretty successful in some instances. >> when i walked into the studio. guys in the studio have the same question. did tom robb know i was black? did he know i was black? maybe he did his home work. maybe he didn't. what do your friends and family say, when napethey see pictures. you've devil of relationships. they give you soup nears. >> yeah, i have robes and hoods. given to me my autonomous groups.
7:45 pm
using the name ku klux klan. >> they're splinter hate groups. why did they give you the souvenirs? >> because they no longer have use for them. this is the robe of of a former grand dragon for the state of maryland. you know green is the color of of -- of the grand dragon level. and this guy he went to prison for conspireing to bomb a synagogue. >> quickly daryl. i don't have a lot of time. >> in baltimore. later went to prison for conspireing to kill two black men with a shotgun. his day job was baltimore city police officer as grand drag gouvendrag -- dragon of the ku klux klan. >> do you fear for your safety? >> not really. >> why not? >> i go in there with a certain degree of knowledge. when you know as much about the
7:46 pm
klan if not more than they know about themselves there is some degree of respect that they have to give you. >> all right, that is going to have to be the last word. thank you very much. mark and daryl. when we come back remembering mario cuomo. tribute to three time governor of new york from his very own son, our chris cuomo.
