president. >> white nationalists -- >> do you want the support of these white nationalist groups who say they support you, mr. president? >> mr. president -- >> have you denounced them strongly enough? >> would you call that terrorism, sir? >> those comments were praised by the editor of a prominent neo-nazi website that said, "he didn't attack us. he just said the nation should come together. nothing specific against us. really, really good. god bless him." to just about everybody else, however, donald trump's remarks were an astounding new low. the man occupying the office that has for decades been the leader of the free world refusing to denounce an abhorrent ideology of racist supremacy or to call out nazis by name. the backlash was immediate and bipartisan. with trump's approval rating falling to 34% on the new gallup daily tracking poll. the lowest ever in that survey. this afternoon amid mounting pressure the white house tried for a redo with a reluctant president going before cameras to finally denounce those hate groups by name. but only after ticking through a list of his s

nationalists and white nationalism and white supremacy. we also say this goes far beyond what's just happening now and what the president says now. i'll remind us all of how he ran his campaign. his chief strategist when it appeared that he wasn't going to win was steve bannon. they got this coalition together. they started getting the attention and the support of people on the extreme right. he didn't reject them then. he doesn't reject them now. he has them on his staff. and i don't care what he says. he needs to fire those people or, as mr. painter said, he needs to move into some action. let me also say that it is disingenuous for him to say let the country come together when he's the first president in decades who refused to honor -- put out a declaration honoring ramadan. he didn't honor lgbt history month. he couldn't even say the word "jew" when he came out with the proclamation about holocaust remembrance. so let's not just solely concentrate on what he said in this particular circumstance. he's -- there's already a long history o

white nationalists support white supremacist ideologies. within the white nationalist movement that claim they are not violent organizations, they want white ideals and they don't want to be a minority for example, in this country and then you've got the extreme, the kkk, the neo-nazis. then you have the alternative -- i think we've heard quite a lot about over these past few months and there's a scism between the alt-right and the alt light. they have a core believe that white identity is under attack by multi-cultural forces in america and europe. they're focused on the preservation of western civilization, civilization from europe and the name which coined by richard spencer whose the head of a white nationalist think tank. it was the one after donald trump won the presidency saying, hail trump, hail victory, which is neo-nazi speak or nazi speak and people came up and were using the nazi salute during one of his speeches. very important to mention this, the fact that donald trump himself, not a statement from the white house, but the pr

take a listen. >> it's this constant, oh, it's the white man. it's the white supremacist. that's the problem. no, it isn't. >> surely it's not the position of the trump white house that white supremacists are not a problem. >> certainly not. i'm not certain the context of that quote. i can tell you where i spend a great deal of my time and a great deal, unfortunately, of the american taxpayer's resources is combatting a global -- >> of course. >> it's an international problem. it's something we focus a great deal on. we make difficult decisions every day on how to balance and rebalance those resources. we have nation state problems in north korea and we have asymmetric terrorist global jihadi problems that have spread across the entire globe. what we have done is try to apply the resources in a way that is risk-based and focused on the threat. i don't understand what -- and i don't have the context for what he was speaking to a moment ago. but i will double down and be very clear and direct with you for a fourth time that the violence we saw yesterday is unacceptable. ther

what he has not done while president is condemn white nationalists, white supremacy, white nationalism, or nazis or neo-nazis. that is why a lot of folks believe that his statement today -- the statement here on saturday did not go far enough. back to you. >> athena jones, thank you. now, condemnation and white supremacy has been a common theme as republican leaders responded to saturday's violence in charlottesville. house speaker paul ryan said white supremacy is a scourge that must be defeated. former presidential candidate jeb bush saying white supremacists and their bigotry do not represent our great country. also, senator marco rubio called saturday's violence a terror attack by white supremacists. also, snalt majority leader mitch mcconnell did not use the term white supremacist, but instead said hate and bigotry do not reflect american values. with us now from los angeles, david ciders, senior reporter for politico, and cnn political commentator john thomas. good to see you both, gentlemen. david, i want to start with you. is trump -- is president trump failing the first crisis

i understand others at the white house and the white house team may have already described our story multiple sources and are confident in our reporting. >> it's interesting when they don't specifically say what their issue is with the story, they just say it's inaccurate and we're not talking about it anymore. great scoop, great conversation. let's go tower panel. as somebody who has issued statements, apart from being no consequence, the characterizations are inaccurate, misinformed and not pertinent, that is not specific to anything in the report. >> that is not saying the report is not true. that in no way says the president didn't dictate the statement. that just says there are things in the story that aren't true and we don't think the story matters. that's not saying that donald trump didn't actually dictate the statement. and it makes sense to me that trump would be the person who dictated the statement because it's a transparently stupid thing to do. so the only person who would have the means of overruling everyone else is the president himself. >> because lawyers wouldn't

>> white nationalists, white supremacists, they're not a part of anybody's base.y're not a part of this country. they are a part of hatred, of bigotry, of evil and we need to stand up to that. whether it is the president of the united states, a senator from any of our great 50 states around the country, or our city councils and mayors, schoolteachers, call it for what it is. it is hatred, it is bigotry. we don't want them in our base. they shouldn't be claimed as part of a base and it has to be made crystal clear. >> yeah, but why won't the president do that the way you just did? >> well again, i encourage the president to do that. this president has done so when people have driven through trucks in europe. he's called it radical islamic terrorism. he should use this opportunity today to say this is domestic terrorism, this is white nationalism and it has to stop and i encourage the president to do so. the healing power of the white house, the ability to lead of the president of the united states, it needs to be seen today. yes, he condemned bigotry and hatred. bu

here's what he said. >> it's this constant, oh, it's the white man. it's the white supremacist. that's the problem. no, it didn't. >> so the government tracks domestic terror attacks and according to a recent report between september 12th, 2001, just after september 11th attack and the end of last year, there were 85 domestic attacks. 62 of them were carried out by far light violent supremacists. 23 committed by radical islamist extremists. i want to bring in james galliano, a retired fbi supervisory agent. is enough attention being paid to this alt-right white supremacist side group? >> what you have to understand from the fbi's perspective, this is going to be worked as a civil rights violation. civil rights violations are salient to the particular area. in the new york office of the fbi, there's a focus on a lot of international terrorism. not so much on the domestic end. in the areas of the country, the more rural areas out in the midwest, out in the west and say down in the deep south, that's more where you have domestic terrorism incidents. in this situation, the reason wh

i don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white sprem 1i sifts. >> in june, staying judge curiel couldn't do his job because of his heritage. >> i'm building a wall, between mexico. not another country. >> it's from indiana. >> mexican heritage and very proud of it. >> none of that is to excuse or make any judgments at all about whatever advice bannon gave mr. trump, once he came onboard two months late perp bannr. bannon had his hand in temporary travel from half dozen muslim countries and focus on undocumented ingrants, sanctuary cities and what he called a globalist position on trade. ran afoul of more traditional chamber of commerce and foreign policy establishment types. the notion those troubled by president trump's response to charlottesville should breathe easier because steve bannon is gone is not supported by facts. something else that caught our eye today. barely a week into donald trump's presidency, this forecast taken, speaking with vladimir putin in the over's office. shows how much has changed. national security adviser, michael f

two-thirds of white men voted for trump. 63% of white women voted for trump.avid duke's tweet this weekend was maybe one of the most oddest things i saw online. when he said to donald trump, look in the mirror. white america elected you and never forget it and mr. duke, you've got that right on. he was elected by white america. >> you came on before election night and said you believed trump was going to win and talked about the support in your area. how do you think those people where you live and you know who supported him, how do they feel now? >> honestly, i spoke to a few of them after that press conference. because i wanted to know the answer to that question. they voted for trump because they were angry. they voted for trump because they wanted to throw a bomb into the system that hurt them. they're no longer part of the middle class i really thought about this the last time you and i were on the show. i've said this to them since. you have every right to be upset that the system has let you down, the american system. but black people have every right t

did you ask to be born white? we are all god's children and we need to come together and donald trump -- they are sugarcoating donald trump and blaming everybody else. it is donald trump and it is his fault and he needs to apologize to the whole nation and try to bring this country back together. you all have a nice day. have ai think that we race reaven's industry -- it's taken to every area of society where even in high racial where they have indoctrination day -- now, black scholars with their victims incomesking six-figure talking about how bad race is is come i wish they would tell us how they achieved. what they are doing is really driving us apart. the assumption is they are down there talking about linguistic racism when are talking about you bond x again -- ebonics again. it's racism to expect blacks to use standard english. they are trying to polarize us and companies like google and others are getting ready to release a film on slavery and lynchings and all this emphasizes just driving us apart. it is a

so i don't think you can compare the trump white house to any previous white house. >> we have heard about different factions in the white house and i'm wondering whether this beent the part sure has created then this will be the end of the departures or are you expecting further departures in the near future? >> i am not privy to the inside workings of this white house. i only know what i have read. it appears the initial group of people who have been warring with each other have all departed. process thatnusual the people who come into an administration onto the right fit, particularly the people who have been campaign people. differentre very things, campaigning and governing are two very different paths and require different skills. as long as the president behaves the way he does in terms of playing outside of the established lanes that you will continue to see a degree of turmoil that is inescapable. >> thank you very much for your time we are getting reports that bannon is getting ready to go back to breitbart. let's get a check on where stocks are trading. reactiona wishy-was

he would say he is not racist, is not a white supremacist. he would call himself a white advocate. listen to this post entitled stop living in fear of the liberal media. >> it's important for white people to be able to stand up for themselves. everybody else is allowed to do that, and i am tired of explaining this point over and over again. if blacks gays latinos muslims and everybody else are allowed to advocate who they are, white people should be able to too. >> as for the definition of a white nationalist, we looked it up. it's one of a group of militant whites who establish white supremacy and advocate does he fit the description? he would say no. many would say yes. >> kessler said during the press conference yesterday that he planned to come to washington today to speak. as of now, no details have been released. we have heard though that richard spencer is set to speak this afternoon. he is the leader who gained national attention when he was punched in the face on camera in january. >>> a student picture chanting white nationalist slogans during a neo-nazi rally in charlott

white national ist nationalist the white house. sometime it's a dodge because we want to take somebody's word and connect them to other forces. it's not a dodge here. he has created a climate where people carrying the symbols of the worst regime in the modern world, perhaps in all of history, the third reich, are legitimized. where a former head of the kkk denounced by bush when he tried to become governor the louisiana, a republican, back when the republicans meant something, he denounced him. at what point do the basic jefferson values, the decency of the citizens of the republic take the stage now. the challenge for all of us now is that a republic is as good as the sum of the parts and we're the parts. so now it's our hour to stand against this. >> harold, john meacham is absolutely right about the climate created by the president. you need do nothing more than watch the vice news, mini documentary they shot over the weekend in charlottesville where they followed white supremacist groups one-on-one in hotel rooms and vans and r

watch this. >> it's this constant, oh, it's the white man. it's the white supremacist.'s the problem. no it isn't, maggie haberman. go to sinjar. go to the middle east and tell me what the real problem is today. go the manchester. >> what about america, richard? >> yeah, look, i think mr. gorkha looks like a fool in light of what's happened in charlottesville. we have a long history of minimizing the white supremacist threat. the day after trump announced his campaign for the presidency on june 16, 2015, the day after that, dylann roof killed nine people in an african american church. we can't take our eye off that ball, no matter what the people around mr. trump would like us to do. >> chris, what do we do? at this rally, there could be another rally taking place because this group and other hate groups, they're not going to stop rallying. what should we do? >> yeah, police chief like the one in charlottesville is going to rely on federal resource, the atf and the fbi for intelligence. all they have is what they have in front of them in their own county. i think we nee

you look at this white house since inauguration day this has been a tremendously tumultuous white house you saw people pushed out and now steve bannon, one of the people seen as the architect of the president's campaign victory pushed out the president himself minimizing earlier this week steve bannon's role in the campaign, saying he didn't come in until late. he called him mr. bannon several times. he also said he likes him and doesn't think he's a racist. clearly left him hanging out there all week with an indication he might be about to force out yet another senior official from his white house is president trump someone who's had a lot of those forced out. will it stop the political damage that the white house has experienced. you can imagine officials will feel this will be a positive cycle, turn the page, a fresh start and get the president back on his economic agenda and foreign policy agenda and off the issues of statutes and racial things over the past week. >> let's talk about the potential agenda let's bring in john harwood. when i think of steve bannon and what he tried to

he was going to fight from the white house to pressure the white house not to abandon the message. >> bill, to talk about how this came out. of course you have the white house and the bannon folks leaking, then confirming, saying he really resigned on the 7th. that's when he resigned, it was just effective today. is that true or was he flat out fired? >> that is what bannon is telling his friends. other white house officials are saying he was fired and this is a decision that general kelly largely made himself, of course with the blessing of president trump. it's important to remember what kelly is trying to accomplish here. he is trying to bring order to a white house that for seven months have been ridden by back stabbing. nothing is happening when it comes to the priorities the president wants to get done. kelly is trying to bring order and getting rid of bannon is a way to do that. >> phil, we'll stay with you. where was javonka, jared and ivanka? >> we know jared and ivanka trump made a direct appeal to try to get their father and father-in-law to fire steve bannon. this is back

is the white house now functioning? what are you hearing, mark? >> is the white house functioning? don't think it is any better than with scaramucci in. it's going to take general kelly time to streamline the line of command. anita has been in the white house and understands better than anybody at this table, quite frankly, how it works and the actions within a white house. to this story alone, as we are talking about collusion, let's look alt it from 50,000 feet. we understand that in the media, we have a low approval rating. we understand that. we don't necessarily tell great stories and people get upset about that. congress has a very low approval rating. we understand. people are upset at washington. if this is true there was a collusion between the white house and fox news, it goes to the whole heart that americans can't trust their institutions. this would be one thing that would jump out about people being upset. >> leaning on your experience as a communications director, the revolving door in the west wing, you have -- there's a tweet that kind of grabbed everybody's eye fr

we just hasn't seeing the leadership in the white house. >> there was a statement released from the white house that did go further but it was released from an anonymous official, that did not want their name released. but the president still has not said the words himself. >> li want to focus more on thi criticism that the president is getting, not calling a duck and duck, a spade a spade here, white supremacists for what they are. keep in mind president trump, then accountcandidate trump ver critical of his predecessor for not using the term radical islamic terrorism. just listen to a couple clips here. >> radical islamic terrorism. and i'll tell you what, we have a president who refuses to use the term. he refuses to say it. he refuses to use the term, radical islamic terrorism. he refuses to use the term. you know you hear the term radical islamic terrorism. he won't say it. he won't say it. and you can't solve a problem if you refuse to talk about what the problem is. >> so again to use the president's own words he refuses to term the term and the question how can you solve the probl

regan stormed out of the white house. when he got home, he notified the white house he no longer needed the secret service or a car. this morning, the white house sent a car to pick him up anyway. regan rejected it and drove his own car in. >> no, thank you, i can drive myself. white house infighting and shake ups are as old as the presidency itself. but what we've seen in the past few weeks from the current white house is raising the bar for infighting and shake ups. today we learned the white house communications director, anthony scaramucci, is out after less than a week on the job. his firing came at the hands of the new white house chief of staff, john kelly, apparently in his first official act on the job. axios reports, shortly after he was sworn in this morning, he brought scaramucci into his office and said he had to go. this comes a week after he told ryan lizza in an obscenity-filled rant that he wanted everybody everyone out. beating even john koehler, the guy who served in the hitler youth. that's even less t
