7:19 am
it. >> mr. attorney general, how long do you think you'll be in this job? >> i spend to serve as long as i can make a contribution and as long as the president wants know serve. he can have as his attorney general someone else if he chooses. he can ask me to depart. but i intend to fulfill my duties. i feel good about what we are accomplishing. i feel like we are accomplishing the president's agenda in an effective and professional way, utilizing the best of a legal staff that we have here. >> one last question. will you make the issues that happened in charlottesville a priority for you and the department of justice? >> it absolutely is. there's no bigger case right now that we're working on. every resource that's needed will be dedicated to it. we're going to study what happened in charlottesville, see if we can do bet nor the future, and i'll be asking that we do

8:03 am
he was friends with heather. one of her other friends told us she stood up for what she believed in and was all about equality. the mayor and other elected officials say james alex fields, jr. committed an act of terror when he allegedly drove his car into that group of counterprotestors. he was pictured in the defacto uniform of a white supremacist group. that group denies he was ever associated with them but his high school history teacher says fields was found of adolph hitler and the nazi movement. some of the organizers blamed police for the violence accusing them of not stepping in early enough but the charlottesville police chief told cbs news i will defend my department. he told us his officers and the national guard answered about 250 calls for service and they stood back when it was appropriate and then moved in when the time was right
8:04 am
according to the chief. there were two state troopers monitoring saturday's protest, they were killed when their helicopter crashed just outside of town here. >> thank you. attorney general jeff sessions says president trump will address the charlottesville violence again today. the president was accused of being too even handed when he spoke on saturday. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. >> many republicans and democrats say the president needs to call them out specifically. he has been active on twitter but has not mentioned charlottesville. in a statement it includes all supremacist groups. traveling in columbia vice president mike pence defended

antidefamation league called this the largest demonstration of white supremacists decades, what do you think is driving this. >> we have a rise in identity politics in the united states and a lot of the folks most attracted to this stuff are middle class guys that come from relatively well to do circumstances and so it's difficult to really say that there's a single thing that's driving it. what we're seeing is a lot of disaffected people and it's something we have to deal with quite obviously. >> but is it driven by the economic insecurity that you wrote about in your book? >> yeah. i don't think so and one of the interesting things that i discovered doing research for the book and trying to understand the different strains of resentment that were out there is that the alt right movement, this neo-nazi movement is driven by well to do middle class folks. people with a good education. in some ways that's perfectly
8:07 am
highlighted by the organizer of the rally yesterday that went to the university of virginia so it's very tempting i think and comforting to try to stereotype them as a bunch of knuckle dragging yokels but these are kids doing well and still attracted to this stuff and it's a more troubling stuff but still a truth. >> i still don't understand why they're attracted. >> i struggle to understand it myself, charlie. the thing that jump out at me about the attacker from charlottesville is he appeared to be a wash out from the army. a lot of people have problems in their eyes and they don't necessarily turn to white
8:08 am
supremacism but we should also not excuse and say this guy has a problem in his life and that is some of the things he is turning to. >> are they trump supporters and how much of a percentage of trump supporters are they? >> some of them are and you could see that in the video that went viral of david duke chanting that he was a trump supporter but i think this is a small segment of those that support president trump and that's something that is important to keep in mind is that if we want to defeat things like this we have to find something about our common shared purpose as americans and if we look at the entire swath of trump voters and say you guys are neo-nazi supporters we'll be destroying some of the real cultural and social capital we need to unite as a country and defeat this stuff. >> from your vantage point right now what should the president be doing? >> well, i think it is really important for the president to name this particular phenomenon. if you think about all the controversy about whether barrack obama said radical
8:09 am
islamic terrorism, there was a real human need for people to have their enemies named and described by their political leaders and the president missed an opportunity over the weekend. hopefully one he will take advantage of today to name this enemy and describe it and tell the country what we need to do to defeat it. >> it's interesting to hear president obama tweeting on this issue because he has pulled back from the debate but quoting nelson mandela that peel are not born to hate. that people must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate they can also be taught to love. >> sure. >> but go ahead. >> it's always the silver lining in tragedies like this is that people come together and they say the right things and support and love one another and when i look at what happened in response to charlottesville obviously the attack is terrible but you actually see a community coming together. people of all races and political affiliations coming
8:10 am
together to denounce this stuff and figure out what we're going to do next. >> some people make the point that president obama couldn't bring himself to criticize fundamental radical islamic extremism and now we're asking president trump to do something against groups that we know represent everything that america doesn't. >> that's right and we have a president of the united states that isn't just a political leader but they're also a moral leader in some ways and people want to know who is the enemy, what are they about and what are we really fighting for and to have that conversation you have to name it. that was true in 2016, 2015 with president obama and it's true today with president trump. >> thank you j.d. >> thank you guys. >> nice to have you. thank you so much. >> good to talk to you. >> instagram rolled out a new method to hide hateful and inappropriate comments. ahead in a preview, instagram ceo shares how staff are
