america rising really covers it all. host: does opposition research include following candidates around with cameras, monitoring every statement they make, every media appearance they have? alex: it does. there is a caricature of opposition research, you can either go with the very sexy james bond type caricature, or you can think about it as dumpster diving, neither of which are true. really, the opposition research that we do is take all of the information that a public citizen -- an average citizen, could access and put together a narrative format. together in a narrative form. we use devices like the freedom of information requests, we follow candidates with cameras at public events to capture what they are saying, to see if it is different from what they have said on the record elsewhere. we are doing what any citizen could do, we are just doing it in a very organized and methodical way. host: let me turn to james homan of the "washington post." james: you are also doing a lot for 2020. how does your america rising

banner of america first as well. he said you know, the great thing about mccarthy was that he did to the american establishment what the new deal democrats had done to the business elite and wall street. he forever destroyed the american people's belief in their natural leadership. and this again stemmed from the battles before and leading up to world war ii itself. and even the talk we have nowadays about the political correctness in buckley's view went back to this. not just before the war, not just during the war, even after the war, any kind of revisionist scholarship was beyond the bounds of polite discourse, it was not allowed. harry elmer barnes was ostracized from the profession for resisting it. and buckley was a symbol of the liberal establishment's coercive conformity. buckley believed in coercive conformity, not just of the left, of the right. but as he saw it, the left would not admit that pearl harbor and everything leading up to pearl harbor was the foundational error of the entire subsequent post-war

coming to the united states of america. it's a misdemeanor 70s they don't break the law much like don't break the law and the police will tell you whether it is a traffic violation coming to the country illegally is a misdemeanor. they respect the law and you shouldn't have done this. the law exists to the crime committee is a taillights being out, should you get a death penalty for mouthing off to an officer or the death penalty for having expired tags for having figured out why the officers talking to you, should you have your children taken from you as you try to seek asylum, these are things that are not consistent with who we say we are. >> host: you describe in a telling wave of social injustices continue to be with us in america. if we look at it from the higher level, there are a lot of folks african-american folks, white, latino who think about the country particularly around the elections of donald trump. if bartok obama was able to get elected not once but twice that illustrates we've come a long way in america a

why has it been such a difficult problem for america to resolve? >> ultimately, if you look at our interaction with police and people of african descent we are being treated the same way we always have. we've been at the hands of authorities for all kinds of things. when they say obeying the law, there are all kinds of laws, more than three of us couldn't gather at one time, laws that wecouldn't read , couldn't vote, laws that we were supposed to live in certain places. there have been all kinds of laws that are designed to do what they're doing now : keep us in their place and out of places where they don't and i think that it's not changed significantly. whenever you see a young black man or black woman getting the police call on them for barbecuing or selling water, it's because somebody feels like those people are out of place and these interactions often have, i don't know if the consequences are unintended they go in directions that i don't think most people could anticipate. there's a pretty good chance that something violent or disturbing w

starkly different views of america and what america is and what america has been.use his final address to northwestern people to deliver a point that he considered to go the very essence of a country that he just loved so much. and gave his entire life for. reagan always talked about a city shining brightly on the hill for all the world to see. not what matthew or jesus said christians should be in his sermon on the mound. for reagan that city shining brightly on the hill for all the world to see, it was lit by the torch of lady liberty. showing the way for people all across the world, as ronald reagan just said. to come to america. you know, it was so inspiring and it reminded me of, again, what i've heard general hayden say, which is you can go all over the world and it's kind of hard to feel like you're a citizen of most countries, but you come to america and we're driven by a creed. you read the document, you understand the document, you pledge allegiance to the document, and then you shake our hands and we welcome you because you are an american. isn't it inte

no longer are we apologizing for america. instead, we are now standing up for america.t is called america first, if that is ok with you. [applause] we are standing up for our military, and we are standing up for our great american flag. we are standing for our flag. [applause] the armed forces have been doing continuous combat for the past 17 years, yet since the 1990, the number of soldiers on enacted duty was cut by more than one third. our bases and equipment were allowed to fall into a state of disrepair, and i saw some of them, total disrepair. those days are over. every day, the army is fighting for us, and now, we are fighting for you 100%. [applause] no one better understands how stretched our military has become than the soldiers of the 10th mountain division. is that right, general? you were the first conventional combat forced to deploy after 9/11. since then, no division in the army has been deployed more times to iraq and afghanistan then you. you have sent over 9000 courageous soldiers to 26 different countries all around the world in the past year alone.

america is a cause. america is about liberty. america is about justice. america is about universal human dignity. and even though john could often run over you when you were having a debate and argument if you were in his way, probably more than any person i've ever met, john actually believed in universal human dignity. the reason he was so big on the global stage is because he stood in the tradition of 230 years long announcing what america believes about 7.5 billion people that are created in god's image with universal dignity and that implies to everybody everywhere. it isn't america's job to fix every problem everywhere but it is part of america's mission in the world to proclaim that universal human dignity and that's what john did. that was a huge part of his calling. unfortunately we all know all too well that when the public looks at this institution right now, when the public looks to this city, they don't see a place that looks like it's beating heart is to proclaim that universal america idea, to proclaim that american sense that everybody is

there's not a black america and a white america and latino america and asian america. there's the united states of america. >> i encouraged barack obama to give thought to the presidency early on. i thought he could bring people together. the longer you're in washington, the less viable you are. >> america is hungry for change. america wants something new. >> held by the media hungry for a fresh face and a good story, he's graced the covers of "time" and "newsweek" and endorsed by oprah. a far cry from how he's treated in washington where he's 88th on the list of seniority. >> the clintons said you're not qualified to be president. they liked him and thought he had a great future, but their view was you don't run for president after you have been in the senate for a week and a half. >> early polls show him third trailing both senator hillary clinton and john edwards. >> we got two different americas. we have one for all those who are doing very, very well and then one for everybody else. >> edwards is focused on eradication of poverty. but the 2008 election was about t

, disdain america. united states is the greatest force of freedom in history since jesus and yeah, we have some flaws and yeah, we don't do everything right, but you have this trend on the left to really think the worst of our country. i think he made the mistake of being honest about it. i just long for the days when upstate new york and long island could prevent loonies like this from governing new york and maybe that day will come again. liz: cuomo is saying quote, of course america is great, he's saying he spoke quote, inartfully. this is after cynthia nixon, his opponent, accused him of trying and failing to sound like a liberal. we had cbs late night host stephen colbert saying cuomo's comment was quote, the dumbest thing you could say as a politician. >> yep. i think it does ring true, if you look at his policies and you look at the way these people act toward the united states and our police, our soldiers and people like that, and i think it will really hopefully take a toll on people with those

america was never great was founded on a raid in a murder. nothing changed so we said all responses to these situations that we're dealing with. people get sad every day he is just sad people kill each other blacks are killing children. how many still is just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to rat like this is the reason . the ways of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. cost of the highest. that's not the word of sympathy i want to become lost and i won the last post on this topic but many of them look for refuge in the so called sentries sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. person as bank of mom. was you know. they are the best and i get them in a lot of class and they want that. they have water they are options

because what happened in short, the way he described it, america, the movement condensed america to abandon legal segregation but it was too much , not to allow even black children to go into public libraries and to sit on the back of the bus. but at the same time, the polls said the black movement is going too far too fast. and we resent it. and dr. came -- king became driven about how far we were from ending violence of the flesh and of the spirit. had to take that message farther and he dragged the staff north into chicago. to prove that race was not and never has been just about the south. and he expose hatred on the streets of chicago as no one knows better than jesse jackson. then he dragged the staff that voted unanimously except for jim bevil, not for him to denounce the vietnam war. he did it anyway. they said bevil is crazy. dr. king said is the correct ones that let the light in. and i have to do this. and not only civil rights but the new york times, washington post and the whole world rejected him. without even considering the substance of what he said about war. then he dragge

i know he loves america.gree that america's ideals are based on anybody can come here if you share our values, work hard, and get ahead. she said the opposite last night. it's based on demographics. and so laura, i want to know who's the one who really hates america. >> you know, as brian stelter pointed out, other fox news hosts like tucker carlson have made similar comments and van, i want you to respond to this. the fox news audience, 94% white, 3% hispanic, 2% asian, and barely registering 1% black. right? and now look at that compared to cnn and msnbc. is there any doubt in your mind that fox news is actively pushing some sort of agenda, maybe white nationalism? >> well, i mean, here -- you have to begin to assume that something like that's happening because, look, people never want to talk about is you got a lot of black people who are conservative. you go to black churches, you go to black barbershops -- >> conservative -- >> socially conservative. even economically conservative. and yet -- >> traditio

the novel was for capturing america and writing america, one of the adventure of america. i have no idea. it was to capture merit in these books. that was his project. i think he could see me somebody come maybe he understood there was more to america than just what we saw in the rabbit books and think maybe some somebody was going to carry on the project and in that he was right. he was right. there was something else that was interesting about updike, and that all the things he valued in fiction, he really valued people what he called a relationship with will pick it like this he called the nose press class quality. of course there's no one who has their nose pressed more firmly to the class than the daughter of immigrants. here i am in this world and that's my knows he's talking about. so there is a way which updike was hugely influential although i would not have said that. because probably before meeting him and get them thinking about how it influenced me in this indirectly i probably would've said something like white wasp author, i'm writing against him. probably w

but this is also america. a country where 17 kids can be murdered, and not even a third of our legislature and congress bats an eye. i don't know about you all, but after february 14, my life changed forever. i remember that day like it was yesterday. i was in my favorite class, drama class. you could say i am an actor. not a crisis one, but still an actor. i was with my best friends. in a class where you bond like that, it really feels like family. i remember we were doing the kids show. we were practicing to perform for the local elementary school. then, at about 2:30 the -- in the afternoon, the fire alarm rang. it was a little strange to me then. i remember earlier that day, the fire alarm had rang. i knew something had to be off. the kids started walking at its -- as usual. we are taught fire alarm drills, active shooter drills. it is a part of school now. as the kids and i walked out, got to the door that is when all , hell broke loose. screaming, crying. things that i should have never seen or heard or

the most dangerous word in america, words in america are not the n word. it's black on black crime. black people kill black people. white people kill white people. asians kill asians. husbands kill wives. wives kill husbands. virtually every crime 2 to 1 black to white. how is it all of a sudden -- the department of justice came out with a study that said that black people and white people commit crimes about the same level, we get harshest sentences for them. i said this earlier, the most dangerous place for us to live in their imagination. they have said the same things about black people when we were under their control in slavery, from jim crow to everything. we have been the same person to them, in the same circumstances. that can't be. >> i think you pointed out in the book that 83% of homicides committed against white folks are committed by white folks. and so -- >> right. >> there's white on white crime because basically proximity is the biggest determination of criminal conduct >> absolutely. >> yet, as you have illustrated black on black crime somehow has become the boogie
