and something bad is going to happen if you don't do something. start cpr, donate blood, stop the turnicate. stop the bleed. we need each others help. >> thank you. the news continues. i want to hand it over to chris cuomo. cuomo prime time starts right now. >> all right. thank you. welcome to "prime time". pittsburgh in 2018. i could never imagine it kwould mark the largest targeting people on american soil ever. 11 people slaughtered because they were jewish in america in this day and age. jews, blacks, media, migrants, three of these groups have been target of domestic terror in the last week. all are cast as others in our current toxic politics. it is done in a way for those

that baits hate who feed on it. how do we stop this? that's our focus tonight, tomorrow and as long as it takes. here is what we know. what you give attention to you fuel. our president is setting all kinds of fires talking about invaders and enemy of the people. with the help of the trump triad at fox. we will dive into all of it with some of america's most inciteful voicing. we'll look back to history as a reminder that we should never go down again. my friends, let's get after it. >> let's remind ourselves where we are. shooting. bombs. blame. that's the state of play. the synagogue attack, historic. the question is this the bottom? no. if we don't stop seeding hate. president trump condemned the synagogue massacre but i say that is the minimum to be done.

to be clear, the president did not commit the crimes or direct others to do so explicitly. saying otherwise is untrue. the truth is equally damming. the president is responsible more than anyone else for fixing the position in this country. he should tell us. he should show us how to be better. he is not trying, not even a little. proof, look at how little he says about how to be better and how much he spends on whom to blame. we know politics are poisoning us. there's no debate about that. we know those on the left and some on the right have been struggling with how to counter or unable to do better or worse. especially on the right. they decided to be silent. even after the historic murder of the jewish brothers and

sisters. trump and his proxies and media feed the division. the proof is in the preference. trump chooses to talk more about the media than the murders. fake news he says is the cause of our problems. the fake news media is the true enemy of the people. then he tries to clean it up with this nonsense tweeting that's difference between him calling out the media and fake news media. don't insult our intelligence on top of all of the things we are supposed to value. with diversity and tolerance. in society. you use them interchangeably. we know it, you know it. don't hide, just own it. the kind of message trump is giving out is too often the kind you see hooted and hollered about at the rallies including the bomber who was at the rallies hooting and hollering about those messages. it's not just trump. the stay to play is broader. house majority leader posted this tweet suggesting that democratic donors were

attempting to buy the midterm elections. untrue but it plays nicely into some tasty bigotries. earlier this month iowa congressman endorsed faith goldie, a white nationalist for mayor in toronto. the left does have its own words and actions to own. the thugs and meetings by march organizers and members of the congressional black caucus. big named democrats, adopting the aggression of their adversaries. none of it helps. when you have this kind of rhetoric on the left and right even if for the sake of the argument it were an even blame share and i would argue to you it is not even close. even if it were the nation would still turn to the man at the top. the captain many this case likes to steer as close as he can get to the rocks. to what are we going to do? listen to what the president

says. >> what about the all the left? that came charging at the alt right. do they have any guilt? i think there's blame on both sides. i have no doubt about it. and you don't have doubt about it either. >> we have no doubt about where it is leading us. we have tout about this then. moral equivalence puts a bad taste in your mouth. when your dealing with white nationalists. touting fear about migrants at the border, it all feeds to same appetite for the ugly and it's not just trump. remember, he's got favorite mouthpieces. >> this invading horde is calling it a caravan is misnomer. and sickening. >> i don't want to see our country invaded by 14,000 people. >> you can tell the democrats and angry mob that's coming

here, you either come the right like everyone else. way or be ready to face the military. >> 22 million all of them using fake federal documents here illegally. why would it not be an invasion? >> look, the talk is intentional. they want to divide. they want us versus them. if pushed about they will say we are enforcing the law. nobody wants fer people to come in and flout the laws. everybody thinks the system has to be fixed. that's not what's going on. this conspiracy of invasion is made worse by the notion immigrants are not like you and me. they'll bring disease. >> what about diseases? there's a reason why you can't bring a kid to school unless he is inoculated. is it too much to say we can't have countries. entire populations come in here. >> i'm not a doctor. i had an uncle john once. what does that mean? are they a different species? you believe that he has people

have some type of biological agent? that's what they said about our families not too long ago, the delousing treatments, they something about the ethnics coming out here. they were consider unclean. we have seen this move. it is an ugly movie. it ends badly. nationalists. make america great again, america first, enemy of the people. they didn't even create any of them. they are all replays, redos back to the days of division and ugly acts in the name of us versus them. one of uncle sam's. watching rats. arrive on the american shore from the slums of europe. the writing on their hats, mafia as they wear bandannas, masks and knives. when you get to be older you know that it's happened before, this image, america leading the hats of the black hand out of europe.

sounds familiar, right? because it's all retrace. the us versus them, scare tactics, all a distraction from reality. so if those are the facts where do we go from here? we hope things would be getting better after charlottesville. one could argue they have gotten worse. i want to bring in the man, who led virginia through that dark period in the history. former governor terry mcauliffe. what happened then. what should have been learned. and what has yet to be learned. next. at&t provides edge-to-edge intelligence, covering virtually every part of your retail business. so that if your customer needs shoes, & he's got wide feet. & with edge-to-edge intelligence you've got near real time inventory updates. & he'll find the same shoes in your store that he found online

there's a lot of energy being spent on blaming. the president. giving him responsibility. figure out the fix. the president has more responsibility than anyone. we are still waiting for our president and our other lead toers figure out how we get away from polarized reality. you could make the argument. i got you, that donald trump is in the about unity, that

division is what he does most and best. we have seen a pattern that emerged. a scripted statement. we must unify, i condemn. but then no more teleprompter as he goes on twitter and goes after those he likes the least. this was clear after charlottesville. the president went off script with that both sides nonsense. it wasn't what was written for him. it continued as the latest attacks were followed by blames as those he sees as enemies. my next guest. when that happened i remember the pain in your voice. you the proxy for the people in that moment. there was a feeling that all right. we know this is wrong. we know this is bad. we can all condemn this but then that didn't happen. >> let me tell you that day, i have never seen anything like it.

several people marching down shab -- shar lits charlottesville. screaming the worst obscenities i had ever heard in my life against members of the african american community, pointing to the synagogue saying they were going to burn it down. people in our country used to wear hoods because they were embarrassed to say and do things in public. they didn't feel like they needed them in charlottesville or in our nation. i talked to the president that afternoon. i was his toughest critic. i thought him as chairman of the national governors association. i was a harsh critic. i was impressed. he called me. i called and explained what i had seen and heard. alt-right and neo nazis. and white supremacist. he had good conversation. he was going to do the right thing and condemn this hatred that occurred in virginia. press conference got delayed and

i don't know what happened. he came out and blamed both sides. i can tell you heather was a 32-year-old woman killed that day. some main i can't be weaponized his car on a 20 year-old from ohio. injured 19 people and injured killed heather higher. i lost my pilot and a person that had been on my executive protection unit. it wasn't both sides. it was neo nazis with hitler t-shirts spewing hatred and i told them the right thing, to get the heck out of virginia, to get out of our country. you pretend you're patriots. with the flag. they are not. they are cowards. >> do you believe the white supremacists? have an equal opposite on the left in the form of the thugs. >> not what i saw that day. i have seen it in my years of politics. i have never heard or seen what i saw that day. it was a disgrace the our nation. we are the greatest nation on earth.

they came spewing their hatred. supposedly they came to protest against a statue. half didn't know who robert e. lee was. this was an avenue to prance around many of them with weapons. >> the defense of the president. >> he didn't know there were good people marching along. he meant on either side of the debate. over the statue. do you believe that? >> no. i don't believe that at all. i think he was going back to his base. there is no way that as a moral leader of our country, you have circumstances when you're president. we saw with president obama and president clinton and president bush. when tragedies occur let it be oklahoma city or after 9/11 or charleston. presidents rose to that occasion to bring people together. this president saw the most vile acts by individuals and he basically praised them and

basically dised the people that were protesting. >> are you surprised at how mild the reaction has been to the synagogue murders? it is the largest murder of jews on american soil with them being targeted. >> absolutely. >> we are covering it. people are there. doing the best job as only anderson does. the country is not on its knees. i'm shocked by that. maybe it's too close to me. maybe i have so many that i jewish part-time in my family. can't see clear to anything else. but i feel like we are not devastated by what's going on. do we expect it? is it like we are not shocked by anything anymore? what is it? >> i think the outrage is much more than it is. so many people were impacted. we had the pipe bombs 48 hours

before that. it is all of this going on in our country today. >> the guy at kroger, we were barely covering it but that's three in one week. >> you will not blame the president for specific acts but you will blame him for rhetoric the platform. and deviciveness going on in our country today. tstz it's a deliberate political tactic. to get his base out in midterm elections. chris, he cannot talk about health care. premiums have gone up. it is to take away the individual mandate and cost sharing subsidies. he can't talk about the tax cut. it hasn't gone onto help any of the working families in our country. he can't talk about infrastructure. he didn't do it. and immigration mess claeted in the country. he can't talk about policy and accomplishments. all he can do is double down on the fear that he created in our country.

>> i would argue he went the markets giving back the gains but he chooses the immigration. he chose that caravan. he says this is perfect for us. even though there's nothing imminent about it. >> they a thousand miles away. it is several weeks. by the time they get here. here is the point. he did his big show today to deploy the army down there. what a disgrace. this man has now politicized the military. he is using it for political purposes. it is wrong. i have a son in the marines today. i can tell you as parents of children wearing the cloth of our country to protect their country the president should not politicize them. the border patrol deals with this every day. there is nothing unique about what is happening with this particular caravan. why is he doing this right before the midterms? he is politicizing our military. it is a disgrace.

he's the commander in the chief of the united states. >> it is a show of strength. my last question for you is this. what makes it better? we know what the president is supposed to do and we know what he is chosen to do. he will be judged. his party will be judged. on the left what should they do? i do say it is on both sides. i think the way that the left decides to interact with the president, what they try to work on and not, how they try to work with him in terms of their level of rhetoric, he is still the president. meetings, it's not good for you guys. who steps up on that? >> there is one answer to your question. we have a midterm in seven days. the answer is people have to vote. we have to win the house and senate. we have to pick up eight or nine. governor ships. that is the future of our party on the line in about seven days. >> why should people give you that mandate? >> number one, a check on trump. number two to get out and

listen. we're going to deal with health care. we will protect preexisting conditions. you vote for democrats in virginia. we had tremendous success. making virginia number one for cyber security. prek protecting individual rights. we have to go in and clean up the deficits. i inherited a big deficit. left a surplus. people have to come out and vote. 92 million americans did not vote in the 2016 election. they woke up and said how did this happen? it happened because they didn't think their vote mattered or they were plain lazy. i can't give you the answer to that. there is a big percentage. you saw it in virginia. we won 15 house of delegate elections. that's the most since 1880. that's reason to come out and vote. we have to get folks out there. 92 million. a big percentage says we have to

get out there and vote. that's the answer, get out there, make sure you vote, do your early vote and send the message we are not going to tolerate this anymore. let's get congress to have a check on the actions he's done. it is time for people to stand up and take our country back. we have had enough of it. >> we'll all be watching. nobody will be covering it more closely than we will. all right. we'll have more tonight to kind of make sense of what this means. you know, i can't get past what happened in pittsburgh this weekend. not only is it historic but man does it hit to the core of what we say we will protect. the two people we will have on, one shares a personal story of his family's own persecution. for their faith. you know david axelrod. you know bill crystal. they are worth listening to tonight. that's next.

paying less for my medicare? i'm open to that. lower premiums? extra benefits? it's open enrollment. time to open the laptop... ...and compare medicare health plans. why? because plans change, so can your health needs. so, be open-minded. look at everything - like prescription drug plans... oh, and medicare advantage plans from private insurers. use the tools at medicare.gov or call 1-800-medicare.

open to something better? start today. open enrollment ends december 7th.

in the wake of hate crime that killed eleven people in a synagogue the president called out the media on twitter today. using the label the true enemy of the people. this as he asked people across the country to unify and come together. how could he call for unification on one end and separation on the other. only one can be the true message. let's get perspective from some of our true elders in this area.

david axelrod and bill crystal. gentlemen, thank you for joining me. i wish we were talking about anything else than what we really must address tonight. i can't get over that in 2018 we have this kind of mass murder of jewish people in america. i just, i can't believe it. david, what does this mean to you about where we really are versus where we were? >> first of all let me say it means a lot to me and a lot of other families like mine. my father and his parents they came here from eastern europe fleeing this kind of stuff. their home was blown up. they were the subject of persecution and violence. they came to america because america was a refuge from that where you could worship freely and be who you were. this is a stunning thing.

when this happens. you think it was almost 100 years ago. you would think we would not be where we are. particularly at a time when people are kind of hunkering down and there's all of this talk of the other, you know, these kinds of things activate lunatics in our society to do what we have seen. it is deeply distressing especially because we have seen these on the rise for the last couple of years. >> i don't know where we go with this. i have to tell you, i'm a little shocked by the lack of shock by people. it is getting attention but not the kind of attention i would have expected in this situation. even from the president. is he saying the right things? yes. but he is largely reading somebody else's words when he is talking about unity or at least they sound that way. he goes right back onto message.

the media is the enemy. my opponents are the real bad guys, invaders on the march coming from the south. he goes to it like a beat later after what we just suffered this trauma of historic proportion. how do you make sense of it? >> the president is more part of the problem than part of the solution unfortunately. the antisemitism front. and he was able to murder eleven people. you really see it on the refugees where he and the allies and the media have been unbelievable dehumanizing these people referring to the invaders and using animal terminology to refer to them. whipping up fear and frenzy. about a few thousand people. 2,000 miles away. they would presumably come and apply. for status. most might not get it. it is in the a crisis for this country. it is totally cynical attempt to use the issue for the election.

that for me is really rep reprehensible. you tie it together and it is the classic sort of demagogue's message. clever conspiracy of the jews. they were manipulating everything. and trump dabbled in those waters. with the globalist. that's the kind of clever kind of people behind the scenes. and the hordes of invaders coming in. >> they were saying we bring diseases with them they never even heard of. >> think about that. >> on this day, two days. >> not last week when you could be irresponsible. in your rhetoric. that's today. for me that's really terrible. that's what trump has said since the murder in pittsburgh. is so terrible. >> he called him out for what they were doing. it is something to think about. here is the bigger consideration.

what do we do and who needs to do it in an environment like this. the need is real. the anger is real, so is the need. who steps up on the right? who steps up on the left? what makes this better? >> look. first of all, we should really step back and ask why is the president, why are his allies doing what they are doing? the president told us in a tweet a week or two ago that he thought this caravan issue was a great issue for republicans. a great issue. so he stepped up the rhetoric. his amen corner in the right. have amplified this message. and this we should note that this is exactly what bowers the shooter in pittsburg was railing about online. about invaders. about this caravan that was heading our way. and the jewish refugee

organization. that was aiding and abetting. it goes along with this on the right that some how george was funding all of this. it is being done because they feel there's political reward in this, that if they push this issue they will arouse their base and they will win. my old fashion view is in the first instance the thing to do is to not reward that behavior by supporting those that propagate it. we'll see next tuesday what happens with that but in a larger sense everyone needs to take a step back, every leader and say those on the republican side and those on the right and say do we want to associate ourselves with this knowing where it leads. those on the left that have an impulse not the react angerly and bitterly to this and it becomes a mad cycle of hatred. >> and you're acts talk more about trump's connection.

to judaism. than he is. you think a guy who is so self-focussed. >> i can barely get past this. you know, i have brothers in law. i have niece that is have jewish blood in their veins. i can barely get passed it. he has a daughter that converted. a son-in-law he loves like one of his own. he has grand children. you would think that is all he would be talking about is is that these people are my people. if they weren't my people they are my people because there is america and here is what i will do. here are acts big and small. here are the words you need to hear. here's me owning my own part. i will be better therefore you must. i don't hear any of it. >> look, you know, it's not that hard. you eloquently outlined what such a set of remarks would look like. others have made those remarks. both parties. he is not going to. he wins. he thinks he wins by dividing.

he is irresponsible in a way that i think no other president in modern times has been. it puts a burden on everyone else to try to step up and say what he is not saying. in 1996 won new hampshire. got votes in the primary. he was running on a bigoted campaign. he had a few dell kates at the republican campaign. the nominee stood up and he didn't just not sound like that. he said if there are any big gots in this room i don't want their votes. i don't want their support. that is what others need to say. it's not enough to not sound like donald trump. they need to reputuate this rhetoric and this kind of prejudice and this kind of bigotry. other than civil civic leaders. on the positive side the degree to which community leaders would come together does show that this is a decent country. i think donald trump has done some damage.

thank god maybe not too much damage yet. people do need to step -- we have to stop and take expecting or hoping the president will change and take responsibility all of us really. >> thank you very much. i appreciate you being with us tonight. >> thank you. when you talk about anti semitifrm one of the people that come to mind is louis. far can. we'll bring there one democrat that did recently denounce him, congressman gregory meeks. does this fit into our understanding of what needs to change next. doug, doug!

here is something that we have learned in realtime. there is hate and it lurks in political extremes. neither party can truthfully claim clean hands there. i know you don't like when i say this. my job not to say things that you like, all right? there are show that is cater only to that. this is not one of them. the unwillingness to denounce those who peddle airnt semitism works on both sides. it is a window for the that corrodes our ability to anything of substance. for democrats thugs and meeting, these are problems. they are. new york congressman knows the political at play here. he joining us here. good to have you. >> good to be with you. >> let's talk apples to apples here. what we are dealing with in the country, i understand the president is at the front of the hate parade. i know what he is about. i know what he is betting on.

can't get half the country to back him on it but i get it. what do you think needs to change overall to make the dialogue decent again, to give you guys a shot at working with the other side to do something for the rest of us? >> i this i that politically we need to come together. i wish we were in session so that a group of us, democrats and republicans could hold a joint press conference not about politics, not about elections but about the fact that we do not want hate in this country. what makes america the country that it is today, that we overcome a lot of individuals, no matter what your religion, no no matter your ethnicity. no matter what your background is to become a more perfect union. we are not there yet but we have to say collectively that's where we want to be. and acknowledge we're not there yet. we have to make sure we speak

out against those that want to be there. >> how do you take saying and doing the things no reduce the heat and reduce the tension and increase the peace among different parties and get something done? >> i would admit it is hard to do with this president. if george bush was the president i think we could get it done. i could think of almost any other past president we could get it done. so for some of my colleagues who are republicans, i think they need to not think of this in political. they think we need to get the supreme court or we need to make sure we maintain the majority. what is at stake now is bigger than that. it is the moral standing of our country and trying to work together so we don't go back to some of the ugly times we have had or we try to become a more perfect union. >> i have known him most of my adult life.

i know you'll be straight with me. i am not saying that the left owns equal blame for the level of hate in our political discourse. i don't believe that. i attack falts equivalencies all of the time. i can't get past what happened in pittsburgh. i believe we have our eyes open to the fact that it is not gone. we know that there was an increase but to have the largest taking of jewish life on american soil just happened this saturday when we thought there had been progres, i think we have to rethink everything. on the that level of ho you gain advantage on the left. and you stepped away and you said i get the political calculus. i get that he has a big constituency. i don't want it even if there's a cost. took you a while but you did it. others in the congressional black caucus have not done it. the organizers of the womens march met with him. why? the man is an anti-semi.

that's just the truth. >> he has made anti-semitic statements. they need to be denounced. clearly though, you cannot have the moral equivalency of what i get on my telephone and my office when i get off this show of individuals who are threatening my life, my family's life and others as what happened with the pipe bomb and clearly what took place in pittsburgh. so it is talk about issues on one side and by talking about violence on another side. we cannot condemn individuals who are talks about violent actions. i mean it's hard to deal with this president when he was just a few days ago saying that it was good that a reporter was slammed by now a member of congress. >> right. but i'm saying that i just -- i'm talking about in terms of high ground and leverage.

the president couldn't make it any easier for you in terms of being decent, right? he makes that pretty easy. we know who he is playing to. i'm not wrong when i say we made a distinction. you say he says anti-semitic things. we grew up in a time when we didn't care what you called us. tlrs there's no difference. as long as you treat us the same way. we used to forgive a lot now we don't. and that's okay. i'm not making what happened on saturday about the democrats. i'm saying i don't know how you get the upper hand and say we are not like him. and we're going to lead. when you have people who meet with him. you have them that haven't been denounced the way i would. how do you claim high ground if you don't do those first steps? >> members of the congressional

black caucus >> they have said that the statements is statements that we cannot condone. they have said and moved in that direction. i agree with you that one, you are what you say. i say that about the president. we hear what he says. he gives certain signals to certain folks. we have to make sure we stand up and it's not given on the other side. the only thing is i don't see the moral equivalency. we have to talk about that. i don't see the moral e kwqual. it is the individuals -- as the individual who shot up the synagogue. >> i'm not fighting you on that. >> i'm not fighting you on that. >> i don't think that you could make that equivalent. it is different. i still agree with you that your voices have to be heard and i know that at the time there were various statements. i know several members of the

congressional black caucus that did stand up and make statements against, you know, and here is why you have to do it even though you know there will be some in your congressional district that is going to be very upset about it. >> yeah. they will. >> you got to go stand up for what's right. >> yeah. >> i always say that dr. king, you know, his statement was when someone was doing something wrong, the silence of good people is worse than the actions of bad people. and so if you're a leader then you have to step up. i think that's what we have do do democrats and republicans left and right. we should have the political debate. the political debate, you know, you different issues. it should be the political debate. and not over step the boundaries. >> i hear you. it's not about putting rocks on different parts of the scale and see what part is higher. think it all has to go. otherwise we are not going to mover past the place we are at right now.

this shook me this weekend. i have seen a lot of things. i spent most of my time going around the world to the situations humanity has to offer. i did not expect that and i in america in this day in age. don't think it's because of the death penalty which exists on the federal level. i am just shook. and people are shook. we want to see better from our leaders. what can be done on both sides. i understand what you're saying as well. i appreciate you coming here to have the conversation. >> thank you. all right. we'll turn to another apparent hate crime in america that got a lot less attention. we were so distracted. there was another one doing horrible things and it's a story everybody should know, next. this is actually under your budget. it's great. mm-hmm. yeah, and when you move in, geico could help you save on renters' insurance! man 1: (behind wall) yep, geico helped me with renters insurance, too! um... the walls seem a bit thin... man 2: (behind wall) they are! and craig practices the accordion every night! says the guy who sings karaoke by himself. i'm a very shy singer.

it's not just pittsburgh. it's not just the bomber. there was another hate filled criminal just last week in kentucky. another white man, history of violence, custody for shooting and killing two african americans at kroger's. he tried to barge into a predominantly black church and failed and he chose a second target. he's being investigated for hate crime. don lemon is here now. we barely have time to cover it. it was doing bad things. >> yeah. and then now another one. you all of them in a row. i keep telling people not to

demonize one group. we keep thinking that the biggest terror threat is something else. some people who are marching towards the border like it's eminent. the last time they did this a couple hundred people came. and most of them didn't get in. most got tuckered most of them got tuckered out before they made it to the border. so we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them. there is no travel ban on them. there is no ban on -- you know, they had the muslim ban. there is no white guy ban. so what do we do about that? and, first of all, let me just say this. maurice stallard is the name and vickie jones. and they have been lost in all of this. two people killed on wednesday

that you talked about. they have been lost in this, and i know that people feel this story has not gotten enough coverage, and we will honor them tonight in our program. go on, chris. sorry. >> good. no, no, no. i'm going to do it in the closing. you're making the right point. you're covering the right story and i appreciate you for that. >> all right. see you soon. >> all right. >> thanks. i found something that i want you to look at, and i'm going to show it to you after the break, all right? it is a point of historical comparison, but it is frighteningly familiar. and then i've got an argument for you next.

friends, i'm just an average american, but i'm an american american. and some of the things i see in this country of ours make my blood boil. i see people with foreign accents making all the money. i see negroes holding jobs that belong to me and you. i ask you if we allow this thing to go on, what's going to become of us real americans? >> i've heard this kind of talk before, but i never expected to hear it in america. >> the fella seems to know what he's talking about. >> yes, he knows all right.

>> without negroes, without any foreigners, without catholics, without freemasons. >> what's wrong with the masons? i'm a mason. hey, that fella is talking about me. >> and that makes a difference, doesn't it? >> don't be a sucker. that's the title of that movie made by the united states government in 1943. uncle sam was so worried about the spread of hate for purposes of political division that they made a movie about it. 75 years later today, doesn't that sound way too familiar? we are in a bad place, and unlike other tragedies that i've lived through, it's not clear whether we will fight the actual problem. any way you look at it, this is really a bad time. have you processed yet what it means that today, 2018, someone feeding off false talk about migrant invaders murdered the

most jewish people on american soil ever. what does that tell us? the anger is real. freedom is fragile. unity is hard won and easily lost. three attacks in one week against three of the groups that trump targets. coincidence? nope. is he responsible for the crimes? no. the men who did it own it. but he owns the fix as president, and clearly our president has no interest in that occupation. a guy hunting jews, another hunting blacks, the president targeting us at the same time one of his devotees sends us bombs. he never apologizes to us. he never reaches out, not once. and this isn't ego. this isn't about us. the media is a representative of you and the president's respect for the institutions that support your democracy. he thinks the weaker everything is, the stronger he is.

he is wrong. two reasons. one, we've always had hateful people here. when all are welcome, you get all times. yet today they do seem to be newly emboldened. three attacks in one week shows us this. and then there's what may be contributing to their temerity. and, yes, i mean all of them. but more so and mainly trump and those around him encouraging extremism, xenophobia, division, nationalism, and jingoism, which is what it really all is at its core. he has almost an entire cable outlet committed to parroting poison about others. today fox folk warning that migrants bring diseases like they were another species. they pound his message and they pound on those of us that call it out and correct it. they get huge ratings relatively, but they should know for all their efforts, they still can't get even half the

country behind them. and here's why. maga, america first, enemy of the people, i am a nationalist. trump created none of them. they all harken back to poison that trump is trying to remake. it's not new. none of it is. he is trying to return to a time that passed and should stay passed. these attacks are a good reminder of what we escaped once, and we did it together, and it's a point right now that we have to gather and understand that we must ensure we never return. and the best proof of the president's intentions is his solid resistance to doing what every other president has done in positions like this. all pittsburgh, all the time. bringing the jewish community close, talking about his own family that is jewish, making gestures to opponents and supporters to be better, specifically pointing out his own role and regrets, charting a

better path by initiating acts big and small to reinforce the is rightness of taking this country back toward decency. but not trump. not trump. more unity. more guns. more death penalty. fyi, the feds are prosecuting this case. there is a federal death penalty. there is nothing to bring back. how does he not know this? it's embarrassing. in fact, all of this is. those jewish people in pittsburgh, they weren't young. now, some say that's one reason it's not getting covered as much. there are no kids to kind of grab on everybody's heartstrings about a forfeit future. i say losing that generation hurts worse. these are people who knew the sting of bigotry. their families fled here. i've heard their stories my entire life. america was seen as the safest place to be, and now you have to wonder and they are wondering is that still true after saturday?

it is only if we are all about keeping that promise to fight hate everywhere we see it. like the film said, don't be a sucker. don't forget who we are. don't be a sucker. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight with don lemon" starts right now. >> okay. so, i have a question for you. i thought about it as you were saying this. you said that -- well, first of all, he's not going to do what you said. it would be great. we should stop counting on him for that. but the other thing is you said he's not directly responsible, which i think people can agree. he didn't put the gun in anyone's hands. but what does this say about someone who takes advantage of the weaknesses of others or preys upon their vulnerability? what does that say about him? >> well, look, it's called a demagogue. and i believe in free choice, and certainly i believe in the law. and i don't believe in overextending responsibility. there's no need to. the truth is damning enough. he i
