people like trent lott routinely spoke at their conferences. and for the people involved in the council, the republican party, they were the most conservative game in town. >> what about this guy scalise of louisiana, the guy in leadership now, didn't he speak to one of those groups? >> i believe so, that's correct. he claims like all of them, he didn't know whatty was talking to. such a common refrain that you hear. can you imagine trent lott or haley barber going to a group and not knowing anything about them? they've got more advanced people than that. >> in 1993, arkansas' lieutenant governor mike huckabee spoke to a group's convention by videotape. in 1998 trent lott and bob barr addressed the group's convention. in 2004 haley barbour posed with ccc staff at a barbecue. let's talk about the republican party's problem here. they've got this on their fingers here. they've got a connection to a guy that inspired a guy that shot nine people. >> this is the nightmarish other side of the southern strategy. a little history. the south was democra

in his final years in the senate only moment of relevance was his 100th birthday party where trent lott got carried away in his praise for strom thurmond and he said this. >> i want to say this about my state, when strom thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. we're proud of him. and if the rest of the country had followed our lead we wouldn't have had these problems over all of these years. >> days later trent lott was forced to leave for retro actively endorsed the segregationist candidate for 123459 strom thurmond. he had four children and one secret child with an african-american maid. it was only revealed after he died. on the floor of the senate in south carolina another senator thurmond rose to speak to the controversy of the hour there. senator paul thurmond is strom thurmond's youngest son and the only thurmond family member in south carolina politics. >> mr. president, fellow colleagues, i ask that you lend me your ears, your mind, and your heart for a few minutes. the loss of my friend an colleague, senator clementa pinckney needed time to mourn the loss of my friend an

the most famous example being trent lott who spoke before the council five times. >> how unusual wass manifesto as you point out accurately deals with the hatred of blacks but he also lumping in jews and hispanics, how unusual is that? >> i don't think it's that unusual. most hate amongest nowadays are equal opportunity haters. black people you know have special ire for them but you know there are no other minorities order than white people and what they see is a white genocide afoot. if you go to the council's website, you'll see it repeated the notion that white peel are losing the company is becoming increasingly diverse and as i said before once president obama ran on a platform of change but he represents the kind of change that so so many people in our country are scared of. >> he probably didn't realize that gold's gym t-shirt was founded by joe gold who himself was jewish but that's a little irony right there in this whole -- he probably didn't realize it himself. thanks very much richard. >>> coming up it's the best lead police have yet. the surprising new details on how the

tom daschle doesn't know me at all saying i'm writing a book with trent lott, a counterpart on the republican side about bipartisanship and the lack of it today and all about leadership and the need to restore leadership. would you be interested. first i thought it can be tom daschle but it was. i said of course i'm interested. i think please send it and within three days we bought it. it doesn't have an actual title yet. the title will change. but the book was not. it will be out in january at the start of the election season ended as it related book. these two guys were diametrically opposed political aide and lead their parties during the clinton years in the senate and thereafter found a way even though they disagreed to work across the aisle and find a solution. that was their trademark. bipartisanship is their big game and they can talk all the time together. it surprises people they are such good friends. but this is the principal. this is the issue that matters to them and they want to restore the dignity of the senate. it's a terrific manuscript. history showing in fact a lot of part

trent lott, bob barr, haley barbour, the treasurer of -- the former treasurer in south carolina, mr. patterson. they have all appeared at council conservative citizens events in the late 1990's and early 2000's. we like to think of something is this existing only on the margins of society. unfortunately, a group like that, particularly in the south and among republican candidates were officeholders, it also has a foothold in mainstream society. amy: what were you most struck by in this manifesto? this website, apparently, registered in february and it went right to a few hours before the massacre on wednesday where he said he had to leave, he was in a hurry. but this 2500 word manifesto, a lot has been made of this as a high school dropout who repeated -- what was it, ninth grade. what did you make of this manifesto? >> a few points. first, this young man was not stupid. he may have been a high school dropout, but it is a fairly well put together diane trop. he is a lunatic and psychopath but he is not an idiot. secondly, at the end, he talks about, my life might not be worth with in

but senator trent lott by the that point, senator trent lieutenant of mississippi by then had been hanging out with citizens council for years. he got his picture taken with the guys in a private meeting in his office the year before they got banned by other conservatives from cpac for being racist. in 1999, democrats in congress tried to shame republicans by forcing them to take a vote condemning the council of conservative citizens. that vote failed but some of the work of trying to embarrass republicans about supporting this group was done. conservative politicians have managed to get themselves embarrassed over and over and over again by associating themselves with this barely reconstituted, segregationist, racist white supremacist group. it's not like this group is trying to hide anything, right? it's not like they're reconstructed and now they're trying to make it look nice. this is from their statement of principles. look. look at this. quote, we believe the united states is a european country and that americans are part of the european people. we oppose all efforts to mix the races

going back to 1997, trent lott and president clinton surely had very different views on many issues,hey were able to come together and agree on the 1997 balance budget agreement. each of them accepted measures they did not like in order to get an agreement that each of them felt was far better for the country and far better from the perspective that they look at policy than no agreement would have been, and that was what we have to get back to as a political system. >> woodruff: but on the republican side, hank paulson, we are already in the middle of a presidential campaign where the incentive in your party is, if anything, to move to the right when it comes to taxes, when it comes to frankly just dealing with china. the image of china has become much more negative in both parties. but i think it's fair to say in the republican party, very strongly. >> all i will say to those americans who are rooting against china, and hoping all i can say to you is "be careful what you wish for." because let me tell you, air and water knows no boundaries. you know, a ton of carbon emitted from chi

newt gingrich and danny hazard -- hestert trent lott in the senate. we worked very well with them. it was not, you will recall, annan's tumultuous time for the president. there was the impeachment. we were very intent on making it absolutely clear that foreign policy was distinguished from what was happening politically. you may remember there was a movie of that time called "wag the dog," where a president was in trouble and started a war to deflect attention. i think we establish enough credibility at that point, but no one imagined the national security foreign-policy team, berger albright, cohn, would have used foreign policy is a smokescreen. in the end, president clinton left office with the highest approval rating of any president since harry truman. it was a very productive time and we can talk more about how we worked with a republican congress, but i enlarge gingrich was an internationalist. we battled with him on some things, but he shared an international agenda. trent was political, but not an obstructionist. we were able to get good deals done with both of them. john:

julie: even after the fed trying to offer some clarity, jenny ellen trent lott for some clarity, peopleconfused than ever. -- janet yellen trying to offer some clarity. matt: the fed will remain data dependent. the pope is catholic. julie: we've had some strategists flip-flopping. they heard the same speech, the same commentary yesterday. yet, they came to different conclusions. talking about the folks at citigroup and goldman sachs. at citigroup, they say the rate increase will happen in september rather than december. william lee says the case for september interest rate normalization gets stronger but be prepared for rate volatility. the folks at goldman sachs say no, it will happen in december. they flip-flopped their perception. they say 70 fmc participants -- fomc participants are projecting rate hikes this year. -- seven fomc participants. they believe jenny ellen herself is projecting zero or one this year. what you're are looking at behind me is the fed funds futures. the probability they're pricing it. the probability of what we will see a rate increase. 46% chance priced into

trent lott had it too. >> a number of the presidential candidates have proved to have this talent unlike hillary clinton so far. i think that they are out there taking jabs from people taking questions, getting torn at at town hall meetings. and they seem unafraid and ready to go. and it's something i'm looking for on the democratic side especially with the front-runner. i think it will make her better. but not having a memory to an september where you kind of let yourself -- good pose yourself to reporters and people and like them no matter what they have said, whether they disagreed with you or not, you have to be able do that. >> you can get upset, but you have to put it behind you. if somebody is attacking you about politics, even if people slander me on the internet it's just politics. you put it behind you. you move forward. >> this is the one thing i've seen on your side that i think they're showing. >> stay away from my family i'm fine. everything else is fine. >> we have huge -- bless you. bless you. my gosh. >> that's quite a sneeze donny deutsch. >> is that donny? >> you talk

once majority leader, republican leader trent lott said you can't pass a trade agreement in an even-numbered year. do you know why he said that? he said that because people don't like trade deals in this country. people know that nafta sold them out, they know that cafta sold them out they know pntr with china sold them out korea sold them out. we've heard this over and over. nafta we were promised 200,000 jobs in two years, thank you president bush the first, thank you president clinton for that. we lost 680,000 net jobs. the central american free trade agreement, thank you president bush the second for that. promises were made, big promises about about job increases big promises about wages going up. it didn't happen. wages stayed flat, jobs were lost. thank you president bush the second for that. korea, south korea free trade agreement. negotiated in part by president bush pushed through the senate by pom, thank you mr. president, of both parties for that. they told us 70,000 jobs would be created out of the south korean trade agreement. nope we've lost 75,000 jobs. using the same formula

the autopsy report of freddy greg shows he suffered a high energy injury that left on trent lott to his in police custody. gray's death was not accidental and was a homicide while in a police van transporting him after his arrest in april. the appeal by patriot tom brady added last night after 10 hours of testimony. during the afc championship game, his attorney said they made a compelling case but would not comment further. no timetable for a ruling by commissioner roger goodell. the white house expected to announce terrorist groups -- miller giuliani telling our neil cavuto it's a bad idea. >> the minute you start paying rent, there'll be more kidnappings. we've had very few kidnappings since lindbergh because we don't pay ransom. you can't pay ransom. it is terrible. it is heartbreaking. maria: wal-mart stores will begin charging fees to the nurse first document items in stores, raising pressure on suppliers. also offsetting costs and wage hikes come as something i talked about the ceo doug macmillan yesterday. >> we want to make sure we've got strong talk for the future and we retai

trent lott spoke to them and many politicians did. the guys talked to the groups, then they're called out for speaking to the groups, and distance themselves after that. it seems that they're no longer as influential. their founder died in march. gordon bowman founded the group in the 1980s. >> but now this group, where that r they when it comes to this issue in south carolina of taking down the confederate flag? >> they were a prominent voice when the flag in south carolina was initially flown over the capitol building. in 2000, it was moved to a site on the capitol grounds on a flag pole but not above the building. they were one of the more prominent groups advocating against the move. they thought that the governor had thrown the flag under the bus. he thought -- they thought that it was -- really a step against the sort of heritage of the confederacy. they were outspoken against that. >> now we see the governor from south carolina say that she believes the flag should come down from the capitol grounds. the debate started in the s

ago i got an e-mail from tom daschle who does not know me at all saying i'm writing a book with trent lottcounterpart on the republican side of bipartisanship in government and the lack of it today. leadership and the need to restore it. would you be interested? at 1st i thought, this can't be tom daschle. it was. i said of course i'm interested. i said please send it. within two days we bought it it does it does not have an actual title. the working title is called in our hands. it will it will be out in january right at the start of the election season, and it is a brilliant work. these two guys are diametrically opposed politically and let their parties during the clinton years respectively in the senate and then thereafter always found a way to work across the aisle together. i was the trademark, and they continue to do so. bipartisanship is their big theme. they can talk together. very close friends but this is the principle, the issue that matters, and i want to restore the dignity. a lot of history showing that there has been a lot of partisan conflict in the past. we have worked. i
