what was the boston tea party but a boy cot? where would we be now with the civil rights activists in the 1950's and 1960's like the united farm workers grape boycott? some of this country's most important advances in racial equality and equity and workers' rights has been achieved through collective action, protected by our constitution. americans of conscience have long and proud history of participating in boycotts, specifically to advocate for human rights abroad. americans boycotted nazi germany in response to dehumanization, imprisonment, and genocide of jewish people. in the 1980's, many of us in this very body boycotted south african goods in the fight against apartheid. our right to free speech is being threatened with this resolution. it sets a dangerous precedent because it attempts to delegitimatize a certain people's political speech and to send a message that our government can and will take action against speech it doesn't like. madam speaker, the supreme court has time and time again recognized the expressive con

watchers what started as a small grassroots set of demonstrations against overtaxation grew into a boston tea party and then evolved into a full on revolution and eventually saw the birth of a brand new country but grassroots movements for change the united states didn't end in 1776 from the fight for unions and women's rights in the 1800s to the civil rights movement in the ninety's fifty's and sixty's to the 21st century is occupy wall street black lives matter grassroots movements are in interwoven fabric of u.s. political history one could argue that they are one of the purest forms of political expression but what happens when a grassroots movement is co-opted by the very power as it seeks to change or even worse was started by those very powers in order to influence public opinion in favor of a corrupt government or corporation well that's called astroturfing and it is one of the many famous journalist photographer and author jason business explores and his new book fake politics how corporate government groups create and maintain a monopoly on truth and he joins us today now from new york ci

. >> the boycott movement leading back to the boston tea party. didn't like what omar said. >> my colleague used the words honestly and honest. let's get to what's left out. hamas uses women and children zaps human shields. they declare jihad as an obligation. they deny aid to their people and deny rights. they launch rockets killing innocent civilians. >> bds is what i call a political terror. a continuation of war through political means. just like the terrorists of hamas and hezbollah, the principles and the palestinian authority, if you read everything they preach for and what they teach, it's for the destruction of the jewish state. they deny any rights for anyone who is not palestinian or muslim. they are the one who are at fault, and the a attempt to discredit israel and paint israel is part of this campaign to isolate israel, and to really drive a wedge between israel and the united states which are best friends and allies. liz: let's show rashida tlaib's full quote. and there is a kind of calming feeling i always tell folks when i think o

was it a reference to the boston tea party and july 4th week? regardless, it was a 30th birthday to remember for her. >> would you say it's the best birthday forever? >> i would say so. i mean, how can you beat this? yeah. >> reporter: what a night, as well, for goalkeeper alissa naeher, answering those who questioned her credentials in sensational form. she proved the match winner, she saved the penalty from england's captain later in the second half. it was as stunning as you would want a world cup semifinal to be. the usa know they'll be back here in the big one on sunday. later on wednesday we'll be finding out if it will be the netherlands or sweden who will be joining them. >> well hopefully rapinoe will be okay for the next one. even if it's just so that she can -- she can be there and play for, of course, what will be the final win for the usa. sorry, amanda. so sorry, so sorry. did i -- didn't many do that. just a reaction. >> nice salute. >> reporter: i'm used to it as an england fan. >> thank you. should be a great world cup final. >>

boycotts have been effectively used in the united states by advocates for equal rights since the boston tea party and include boycotts led by civil rights activists during the 1950's and 1960's in order to advocate for racial equality, such as the montgomery bus boycott, and promote workers' rights, such as the united farm workers-led boycott of table grapes." the bill is co-sponsored by georgia congressmember john lewis and michigan democrat rashida tlaib, another of the four congresswomen cited by trump in recent racist attacks. this comes as congress members of both major parties have pledged support to a nonbinding resolution that would condemn the boycott, divest and sanctions, or bds, movement against israel over its human rights abuses and its occupation of palestinian lands. the house of representatives voted wednesday to block president trump's move to sidestep congress by allowing u.s. weapons sales to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. house democrats voted to send three resolutions of disapproval of the sales to the white house, where president trump has promised a veto. just

compared it to the boston tea party.hat are the democrats going to disavow anti-american sentiment in your own party. when will you disavow that. charles: before you avow that, maybe you will, but we have two minutes. this comment that the republican party is in a lot of trouble. there have been polls, jon, swing voter survey focus groups. shocking thing has been the majority of them agree with president trump's opinions and thoughts on immigration. we saw a poll of mexicans, mexicans in their country saying that these i am meant gray that somehow that these immigrants pose an economic burden on their country. that a majority of them are against even migration of south american, central american migrants through their country. what i'm trying to say is, one thing when the media and democrats say this is the worst thing ever, when they start to fix labels to these things racist, is it racist then when mexicans feel the same way president trump does. >> i agree when you talk about people's opinions on the need to address b

it recognizes the proud history of boycott movements in this country dating back to the boston tea partyg the boycott to the jewish state to get this nazi germany and soviet union. here to weigh in is eugene from mason university. and the policy. sorry george mason university. my apologies. >> good to be here. pete: when you see her boycott, divest sanction israel and liken to boycotting nazi germany. >> it's amazing not only comparing israel to nazi germany which somebody a suffered juicing to promote policies to discriminate against jews. she is talking about justifying and legitimizing the right to discriminate against jews because of their relationship to israel. pete: absolutely. this is something democrats previously have been against. here's leader schumer and speaker pelosi slamming the bds movement the last couple years. watch. >> when the world treats everybody one way or the jew or the jewish state the other way, there is only other way for it anti-semitism. let us call out the bds movement for what it is. >> we must also be vigilant against big gouted or dangerous ideologies

of the brits thought it was funny, some didn't think it was funny but being from boston where he had that lovely tea party, i thought she was remembering history, the eve of the fourth of july when she did this and this is much ado about nothing. the united states kicked their butts and have done well and can celebrate any way they want. >> i have an unpopular opinion about this. i love rooting for team usa whether it is soccer or the olympics or whatever, this behavior, a close nailbiting game, didn't deserve this kind of grandstanding. they did humiliate in a terrible way the thailand team running up the score 13-0, that was not good sportsmanship and don't like how they take any opportunity to talk about themselves, their own politics, their focus should be on winning soccer. the fact they bring these issues into it, i don't like them. i'm not enjoying this. i really enjoyed the women's world cup four years ago. >> is some of the criticism sexist? i ask you both to react. >> especially women athletes, we ask to be humble and nice and why should they be? why treat their celebration any different? >> i h
