that theyu will see avoid governor northam quite handily. >> talk about the issues. you talk to people every day when it comes to this upcoming campaign. what are the issues people are most concerned about? >> is the economy. most now, we are seeing on streets, the economy doing well. if you watch the media, they .eep saying, we could as if we learned nothing from lawrence o'donnell. it just leading into a news --ry with if this is true, it is not journalism. even a talk show host knows that, but we seem to be leading into this with stories about, maybe a recession. walletsl grabbed our just a little tighter, that is when the recession started. everyone bought just a little bit less and ripples started to be felt through this overly service economy. >> if the economy is still strong next year, does it change the potential for virginia to go to donald trump? >> i do not know that they will go to donald trump and 12 college. . think iowa does it this way remembering which state does it by congressional district because in 2016, the president actually carried the majori

northam said the whole incident showed deep wounds in virginia.hat he did showed deep wounds in the whole commonwealth of virginia. in other words, northam himself wasn't guilty of anything, black face or a clan hood, it was the people of virginia who were responsible. they had the collective guilt. and that guilt could only be by giving ralph northam more power. because that's what it is always about. always. it's about power. when you make a mistake, it means you are a sinner, and you must be damned. you probably don't have enough diversity in your office says don lemon. when they screw up. it's society's fault. meaning it's your fault. so they have got you coming and going. pretty nice, actually. it's a good trick. being woke means never having to say you are sorry. dave rubin hosts the reuben report on youtube and probably one of the world's reigning expert on sanctimony and a great opponent of sanctimony to his great credit and he joins us tonight. what's the lesson here of justin trudeau? >> you really cleaned that intro up at the last secon

why is ralph northam still governor of virginia by their rules? by marbles, not by yours, by their rules. and that's what we have to start figuring out, how are we going to play this game instead of always reacting to a? >> tucker: maybe the deeper question --ee i will leave you n this, i'm interested to what your response is, why do we allow hypocrites to make our rules you met why are we obeying their rules when they clearly have no moral authority to make them? >> will look, that's a great question and the real reality of it is that with the left has done is set up a bunch of fake rules by people who never played by those rules in their own life. and i say this as someone -- i was aiv progressive, so i know what this thing is, right? and they set these roles up and they will tell you you're a racist your homophobe and you are a bigot and all of these things and it's not true. these accusations are actually starting to crumble because we are often seeing that they are the ones for the racists and bigots, they are the ones that right now are obse

still be held to account well i think especially in the case of trudeau absolutely he's 47 unlike northam who came of age in the fifty's and sixty's he came of age when rodney king was beaten to a pulp by police he knows what racism looks like so i think for him to claim ignorance on this. it's looks disingenuous and if it's a clear and i don't know what's better frankly it's a tricky political situation to be in certainly cater to the reporter thank you so much thank you so much 3 months of pro-democracy demonstrations in hong kong have had a police against protesters in increasingly violent street clashes with no end in sight to the unrest people in hong kong with close personal ties to members of the police force are finding themselves in a difficult position that he is pulling are and cherry chan have the story of 2 women caught in the middle of this political crisis. images of clashes between police and protesters deeply troubling to marry when still early the conflict one runs through their family they support the protests but mary is the daughter of a policeman and stella's fiance

or northam or trudeau came of age when rodney king was beaten to a pulp by police in l.a. he knows what racism looks like when he decided to wear that brown face. in the ninety's as of the 3rd video the just a murder or especially as a 29 year old teacher we've already and of the 21st century and so to say that he didn't consider racist to me frankly sounds either ignorant or maybe even disingenuous and so true those apology is being injuring hollo i think he's a doll thank you of the u.n. security council is being urged to vote today on resolutions calling for a ceasefire in syria's last rebel stronghold of italy rival revolution resolutions have been tabled with one version backed by germany belgium and kuwait and the 2nd supported by russia and china syrian government forces backed by russia have waged a 5 month offensive in it live where the death toll is mounting. a makeshift ambulance traveling through the northwestern syrian region of it. there are barely any ambulances left here let alone a phone network to call one. this injured man has been brought to a special c

i thought that ralph northam should resign.hat was because his nickname was coon man in year book. it wasn't because he had donned black face in that photo even though there's a good argument that he was the one in the kkk robe. i don't think that's acceptable in our politics. >> let's talk about that. because canadian politics are not american politics. what i have curiosity about, the calculus on racist behavior in canadian politics. he's liberal. it's not the same thing as an american liberal. you talk about a layering of behavior with northam. let's talk about it with trudeau. i look down to say this. i want to get it right. so on the third incident, might have been the second actually, "when i was in high school, i dressed up at a talent show and sank dao with abdulmutallmakeup" you're right. he's 47 now. he was teaching at a private school when he wore black face, this is many incidents. i don't know what the calculus is. his opponent will leverage it for sure. >> we have the video of the third incident now that we were j

i think this is different than the ralph northam situation in virginia where you had the kkk outfit ->> and blackface means something different in the united states than brownface means in canada. >> i feel like where do we draw the line with this? is this something that should end his career? you know, no. but because of things i just listed and other domestic issues in canada, this is going to hurt him there. but his record has been good on civil rights there in canada from what i understand. >> david, i know you want to weigh in but i just want to play this because he said it wasn't his first time doing something like this. watch. >> when i was in high school, i dressed up at a talent show and sang "deo" with -- with makeup on. >> so what do you think, david? >> so i agree with tara, don, that context matters and that this is not just like the governor northam situation. there was no one in that picture next to him in a kkk hood. that being said, i still think this is pretty egregious if for no other reason than, you know, this wasn't ancient history. this is 2001. he's the son of

alabama governor kay ivey, ralph northam. me and a contributing op-ed writer for the "new york times." paula, there's also, bring us up to speed, a third instance of trudeau wearing dark makeup. i mean, is there more to come? is there a sense from him to campaign? what is this? >> that is the question. what we're waiting for. right? for him to speak. the first thing everyone asks him. the issue, his own liberal party confirmed that video you see now is in fact another incident. the issue here erica, people want to understand that this wasn't when he was a teenager. into adulthood. they want to understand exactly how much is this about systemic racism that he, quite frankly, didn't understand. not good judgment, obviously. also the fact that his political brand is of inclusiveness. in fact, erica, he would always tell me, i don't want to talk about tolerance. tolerance is too reductive. we need to embrace diversity. whether women's right, indigenous rights or anything else he wanted to be the poster boy. that's why in particul

after it was revealed that she had one black face in college this came after virginia governor ralph northam was almost 4 to step down after photos of his medical school yearbook showed him in black face and it's not just politicians see right here fashion label gucci had. to pull this water from his collection falling complains that it resembled blackface yeah isn't racism just so fashionable also now the flip side of the argument is these things happened many decades ago they were students when this happened is it fair to hold these politicians to account now i absolutely think it is it is specially in the case of trudeau he was born in the seventy's he is 47 today he was not a product of the sekret geishas fifty's and sixty's the way friends and i view and or north of were right he came of age when brought a king was beaten to a pulp in l.a. he knows what racism looks like and so when he decided to wear the brown face as a 29 year old teacher at that we had already entered the 21st century to say that he didn't consider racist at the time it's either frankly ignorant or disingenuous and i

was revealed that she had worn black face in college the same happened to virginia governor ralph northam earlier this year after a photo of his medical school yearbook showed him a black face and it's not just politicians right it's fashionable gucci for instance that had to pull this weather from his collection falling complaints that it resembled a blackface yes making racism fashionable so now on the flip side there's an argument that these politicians for instance and justin trudeau this was many decades ago when they did this which doesn't make it acceptable certainly but should they be held to account now. i absolutely think they should i mean especially in trudeau's case he is 47 he was not a product of the secretary just fifty's and sixty's the way the maybe an ivy or north of were trudeau came of age when rodney king was beaten to a pulp by police in the way he knows what racism looks like. and when he decides where that brown face as a 29 year old teacher at that we had already entered the 21st century and so to say that he didn't consider it racist at the time to me frankly ei

we want to recognize, governor ralph northam. i want to thank them for the efforts and achievements with justice and reconciliation. as an example, some of you may not be aware of. and number of us have a major problem with an arched down the street. is called the jefferson davis memorial arch. it's designated as historic. it is not historic. is a deliberate act of defiance by daughters of the confederacy. we wanted it down before we had this today. the governor used his power to come down one morning and took every letter off the art and if any of you want to see the letters, they are in the museum. help yourself. it didn't belong here. i will also want to call out some friends at the national level. former governors and senators mark warner and tim kane. there done such a terrific job. and a couple of other friends in congress, bobby scott who represents this area as delays a lawyer. also the education and labor committee. she is the chair of the congressional black caucus. at the national level. she is also chair of the africa

i guess the blackface -- >> trump somehow fired northam back in college days. >> laura: that doesn'tmake sense. an impeach off. i will go first. the president wore golf attire into a church in northern virginia. clearly breaching presidential coat, protocol and offensive to god, man, and the constitution. >> i'm going to ph want one of you, i believe the president shamelessly supported and undermined authority of the national park service when he allowed this 11-year-old civilian took up the white house lawn in 2017. did he break underage worker laws, laura? to the president pay taxes on the tip he gave the child? a congressional inquiry of elongate -- >> laura: did he pay taxes on the tip? what about the length of his ties? think about what could happen. i find it impeachable that the tide goes a little below the belt, meaning in a fire emergency he could put others in danger of tripping causing the secret service to reach down, pull him up, causing harm to the nation, that is clearly an appreciable difference. >> a terrible offense and there's one more that i just thought of. what

g govern governor ralph northam and his attorney general admitting they have had a black face. you made of his apology tour? >> as a white person, i'm not in the business of telling people of color how they should feel about anything. my point being, i find brown face offensive. i find it racist. i find it unacceptable. but what i think about it i think is -- shouldn't be the most important thing in this conversation. it's what people of color think about it. if you turn on a canadian television today and radio, you're seeing a really deep conversation. i think you're seeing the second wave already of this conversation around institutional racism in canada. there is an incredible amount of racism in canada. often people have this idea of canada. i know when i tell people a.m. canadian, i think it's a perfect eutopia. there's deep, deep roots of racism. >> so this has brought that to the forefront. >> absolutely. we're having these deep -- i mean, i actually went to high school in justin trudeau's area before he was elected. there are a lot of underserved communities. it wasn't

james: just think about what governor northam said in virginia about a child being able to be born, andhey set the child aside while the mother and the doctor determine whether or not to kill it. that is barbaric. that is awful. is that who we have become as a people? i want to say to that child, if you have a disability, you are welcome in my world. i don't care. we will wrap the social services around you. there are people standing ready to adopt you. i think it has a profound influence, but we cannot get to that discussion. i don't think old people have a duty to die. i think that we should, as other cultures have today, and as we have in the past, revere the aging and our country. the implications of being pro-life are far greater than just that procedure. on abortion, particularly 31 years later, it's still the law of the land. you argue for playing the long game. do you feel we are at an inflection point with the fight for supreme court? will there be a revisiting? mrs. james: i don't focus on the supreme court as much as i focus on where we are with the cultural change. more and

it's almost sympathy and he is going to play the ralph northam playbook at this point.e weekend we will not hear a thing about this moving forward. >> tucker: it's pretty weird. i mean, i try not to be too judgey because i'm not a progressive. i try to pull back and remember how flawed i am. but at least three instances of blackface and then dressed up in a turban like george harrison outside the hut. it's all very weird like who does that? what is this? what's wrong with him? >> that's the thing, right? most other people that were flagged for wearing blackface like a ted danson, for instance or a jimmy kimmel or tom hanks, they only did it once. in this case, this guy is a repeat offender. i know for halloween i try to be a different character every year just to mix things up. but the fact that he keeps going back to these sort of things reveals a weird person. i can't put any other finger on it. no question about it. and what can you say? i mean, again, i think that he gets a pass here because that seems to be the pattern that we have seen here at this point. and i ca

host: governor northam, speaker

this is what we've seen with governor northam, and others in this country where it has come out that they were doing whatever behind the scenes. or maybe even openly. who are these people, really? i've always thought in politics what gets you going is her authenticity. whatever you say about the current president, he is who he is. just good reasons to read a lot. "oh, my goodness, what's coming?" look, he is who he is. with the president says -- he maybe asked about it at the news conference coming up, we don't know. we'll cover it live. he said that's not the justin trudeau he knows. perhaps that's not the justin trudeau anybody knows. that's complicated in politics no matter what country. >> melissa: i think you hit the nail on the head. in today's politics, it is about authenticity. because they're too many moments, too much of a digital history, too many pictures in the background. you tweet, everybody knows who you are. when he tried to pretend you are something that you are not, eventually it comes out. that's one of the biggest problems with this. it shows him to be not the pe
