their liberation 1st and foremost when white men did it dressed up as native americans in the boston tea party that is probably that's the history that this race is not how it's honest i did not mention i did not mention race i just said that people provide us and you're right they say there were a lot of white people out doing writing looting and violence as well and we are very happy that this summer we have seen an influx of white people joining the fight for black brown and indigenous liberation they are our comrades and we are we welcome them thank you to all the way people who are doing that with us in the streets that said what i do want to say that it is like largely attributed to black people all the time that's a problem but when white people dress up as native americans at the boston tea party that's part of american exceptionalism and that is the type of history that this fascist racist president once taught in school is to indoctrinate our nation more with a theory of critical white supremacy theory that's what he's after that's what this is all 'd about we need to be an honest an

he sees the boston tea party.t seems to politicize him is the -- they cause him to enter the american service. he's a member of the new york provincial congress. and in june 1775 because of his military background, congress makes him a general. congress picks him to be a general. and montgomery's comments are pretty interesting. listen to the last line and think about what we talked about in this class. the congress having done me the honor of electing me a brigadier general in their service is an event which must put an end for a while, perhaps forever, to the quiet scheme of life i have prescribed for myself. listen to this line, he says, for though entirely unand you wanted and undesired by me, the will of an oppressed people compelled to choose between liberty and slavery must be obeyed. the will of an oppressed people pressed to choose between liberty and slavery, must be obeyed. freedom. he believes in the conspiracy. and montgomery is put in command of the invasion of canada. he's the number two officer, th

the boston tea party was not peaceful. there was property destruction. and so here we are today feeling as if white society and of course i'm a white woman but i'm standing with the protesters. i'm standing with my black brothers and sisters. black lives matter. protesting, coming to the table, talking, we have to start now to finish what the constitution should have addressed 235 years ago and it didn't. >> bridget, you're in a unique position. you went from being undocumented, which some people think is illegal in this country to being a lawyer, getting educated in this country and becoming a lawyer. i want to understand what law and order means to you. >> law and order, you know, laws have to be just. there is a -- i think that's the biggest one, right? unjust law isn't a law. so i don't believe in that. in terms of this whole idea about me being undocumented and me being here illegally. who is the one making that law and determining that? colorado used to be part of mexico which is where i was born and it was somebody else that decided that at some p

it was called the boston tea party in 1773. doesn't pay taxes, well duh. everybody knows the rich don't pay taxes. only people that pay taxes are people who don't know anything about the stock market, the bond market and life itself. so the reason trump and i pay no taxes because we borrow money. debt is tax-free money. with that we buy assets and again the tax law is written for capitalists. liz: mike, we have 45 seconds. >> that is insulting to mark he pays taxes insulting to a lot of businessmen that pay taxes. the government runs on taxes. if you guys think you're so snarky and smart, i don't think that what america votes for. they want a leader pays its fair share. the kind of snarky i didn't have to pay because i did some voodoo, that doesn't resonate. we'll see tonight. [closing bell rings] that is almost insulting. liz: i would love to have both of you guys back. there is the closing bell. thanks to mike and robert, it is time for "after the bell." we'll see you tomorrow. connell: melissa: five hours away from the first

this is a land that has been shaped by political protests, including the boston tea party. >> to youra point i was discussing earlier, which showed that 93% of the black lives matter organized protests across the country have been entirely peaceful with absolutely zero damage done to property. when you see these kinds of pictures you see clearly clashes between militia extremists on both sides coming at each other, we just saw a police officer right there as they stand in very great strength there kind of man handling somebody who has come close to their ranks these are the kinds of pictures that people remember. voters remember this. what is your concern that that 93% of the peaceful and non-property-damaging protests are not what is sinking in to the minds of voters before november? >> i think that's where the media comes into play. i think the responsibility of the media is not to show these false i have lentsies that both sides are being as aggressive and dangerous to each other. the report says 93% of the all of the protests have been peaceful. when you see images saying there is

the boston tea party was not peaceful. there was property destruction. so here we are today.hite society and, of course, i'm a white woman, but i'm standing with the protesters. i'm standing with my black brothers and sisters. black lives matter. protesting, coming to the table, talking. we have to start now. >> this whole idea of black lives matter and these protests, it is lawful to have a protest. and i would invite the people that are scared about what these protests are and what they mean to come out to a protest. i don't know -- remember the exact number, but over 90% of those protests have been peaceful. you can't basis your entire opinion on what they are on a 30-second news clip or one bad thing that happened. obviously, that's what the news outlets are going to focus on, but by and large, that's not what they're about. if people come out and listen to other people's experiences and why they're there, it could change a lot of minds and we could come to a place where we could agree more. but people have to be open to listening and listening to paem's experiences outsi

in boston harbor and i always thought those that enjoyed the tea party were the fishes of boston. remember, that was a riot and destruction of private property, however, with just cause. when we learned of the atrocious method by which the crown would close down the entire port to publish all the inhabitants of amazed bay, we wouldn't let it pass in virginia. you are absolutely right we cooked up, as i have written, a resolution for fasting, humiliation and prayer. >> they were not very happy with the call. >> if i remember, general, if i remember, the evening before, governor dunmore rode to the capitol of williamsburg, all bedecked in state to dissolve us, as was the royal prerogative, if i am correct in regular, did you not share a meal with the governor at the old royal palace? >> you are correct, i did, hoping to diffuse his response, to no avail. >> it was to know effect. you were present. i remember distinctly in the old raleigh tavern when my late cousin, peyton randolph, speaker of the house of burgesses at the time, decided we all ought to gather to

certainly do recall when we heard about the closure of the port of boston, a retaliation by the crown because of the so-called tea party. i always thought it's outrageous to agree a party in boston harbour. that was a right and destruction of private property. however, with just cause. when we learned of the atrocious method by which the crown were closed down the entire port to punish all of the inhabitants of massachusetts bay, we would not let it pass in virginia. you are absolutely right that we cooked up, as i have written, a resolution for a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. >> not all were happy with that. >> if i remember, general, if i remember, the evening before, governor done more, who wrote to the old capital williamsburg, he was there to dissolve us as was the royal prerogative. if i am correct in recalling, did you not have a repast to share a meal with governor dumore at the old royal palace? >> you are correct. i was hoping to defuse his response. >> it was to no effect and you were present, i remember distinctly, in the old raleigh tavern when our good friend, my cousin, the late 18 randall who
