charlottesville was one of those moments. a perfect storm. people talking about it. none of this is new to historians, but i think for others in america to sort of wake up, let's talk about confederate monitor -- monuments, especially those outside the south, there are so many of them. for those who did not know the history, even southerners who did not know the history. one fact is that these monuments were not erected right after the war, they were erected or years later, 50 years later and that fact came through against to that question, how do we talk about these things that are not what we thought they were. they mean different things to different people. to me that gets to the question of where historians can step in and say, here's how we interpret facts that are new or different or that conflict with opinions we thought we held, historians we thought we knew. i am also interested in what has happened on the research side with the digitization of so many archives, what as i've done for the collection? jane: it has been extremely confusing and complicated for p

we have just a woman, trump charlottesville huckabee spicer remember be an end. and this one it's hard to see because it's james comey. this is just the time he came out and he got fired and everybody said he's a hero, we failed to remember that he is the one that decided to announce that he was reopening the investigation into hillary. that's the reason i stuck half of them in there. mcconnell the supreme court nominees and of course the three wives. and of course eric's fun. and of course pants and trump again. reporters. okay. do you see him as wrong or evil. i'm just wondering i did the republican leadership as evil. has your perception of him changed. i think it's an opportunist. that's what i've always done in my work. i think is a lot of faults. he is an opportunist in the worst sense. he will say anything to get what he wants. but he has a lot of people around him that are enabling him to do that. that's him. as you make him blah cheer and blotch year gets more and more discussing. i do make him more and more blotchy. yes, i do. the post i come up with th

what was it about charlottesville that crossed a red line for you?it violated the dignity of the office, the essence of who we are as americans, and it was a fundamental assault on the notion of how we deal with hate and how we deal with venomous people. when you have people coming out of fields carrying torches, singing the same exact verse that was sung by the nazis in berlin and munich, and white supremacists standing alongside them, and with those people objecting to it, and making a moral equivalence, there's good people on both. that message is sent to our children. our children are listening, for god's sake, let alone the message it sends around the world. >> what happens when the president is credibly reported to have described the entire continent of africa as s-hole countries? >> it absolutely damaged -- you see the polling now, how we have dropped in terms of the report relative to other nations since he's been president. one of the reasons hewe've beeno respected and followed by so many countries is not just the example of our power, but

lee. - in charlottesville, virginia, where protests are turning violent. - at least one person is deadfter a car plowed into a group of counter-protesters. but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. i think there's blame on both sides, and i have no doubt about it, and you don't have any doubt about it either. - like, i know that this happened a week ago, but i'm not gonna lie. i'm--i'm still processing everything. you know, first of all, a racist neo-nazi killed a peacefully protesting woman with his car, right? then the president of the united states defended the neo-nazis who that dude was marching with. and this is the thing. it's not once, but twice. like, donald trump said it. then three days later, he came back and said, "hey, hey, you know how i-- "i said that nazi-defending thing? "well, i just realized that, um, i--i messed up. "i didn't defend them enough. yeah. yeah. my support was here, and i was trying to get it here." [laughter] yeah. - fallout continues from president trump's racist remarks about certain countries during an immigration meeting. -

but we do know it caused quite a stir in the little town of charlottesville. there was a great deal of talk about it, jefferson's overseer later remembered. people said he freed her because she was his own daughter. from courthouse square where harriet had bordered the stage from washington, you can easily see jefferson's home atop his little mountain. there on the square over there whiskeys or peach brandies, the townspeople had freely discussed among themselves and with snoop ing strangers jefferson's relations with sally hemings and the children who looked so much like him. now, jaws agame, they animatedly sought to explain why jefferson would free harriet hemings. everyone knew, as jefferson himself had once said that, quote, a slave woman who brings a child every two years is more profitable than the best man on the farm. that would certainly explain why jefferson had never done such a thing before or why he never did again. harriet's story might well have ended there had it not been for her younger brother madison who told his family's story to an ohio n

it crashed near charlottesville, virginia at 11:20 am. that is 125 miles southwest of washington, d.c. lauren blanchard joins us from the scene, and virginia with more on what happened. >> reporter: we are expecting an update from the ntsb in the next 30 minutes or so. i will get out of the way so you can see what this scene must have been earlier today. that is the other half of the dump truck. the backend of the train that lawmakers were on has been taken out of the area. a ton of debris on the ground and lawmakers who were on the train say when it hits, they felt a tremendous jolt.>> the shock of the collision was such that you are not braced for it. it was fairly severe and it through a lot of people's heads into the seas, people felt on.>> reporter: the train was carrying dozens of republican lawmakers, their staff and families. according to passengers the train was going about 70 miles per hour when the collision occurred. capital and gop doctors and nurses spring into action. including the three people who were inside the dump truc

okay, so we have just the one and, trump, charlottesville, huckabee, spicer, mcconnell, speaker ryan. kellyanne. remember ben and? and this one is hard to see. it is call me. the reason i stuck him in here is because this was just the kind he came out and got fired and never once said he is a hero. we fail to remember that he's the one who decided to announce that he was reopening the investigation into hillary. that's the reason i stuck half of him and mary. and then i have fox news up there. and you know what this says. but, will and ryan again. supreme court nominee is. i don't remember their names.

so we have just a woman, trump, charlottesville, huckabee, spicer, mcconnell, speaker ryan, -- kellyanne. ban non. remember bannon? and this one is hard to see because of this -- it's comey. the around stuck him in here is because this was just the time that he came out and he got fired and everybody said, oh, he's a hero. but we fail to remember that he is the one that decided to announce that he was reopening the investigation into hillary. that's the around stuck half of him in there. and i have fox news up there. and you know who this is. mcconnell and -- this is just the supreme court nominees. and of course, the three wives. i don't remember their names. >> ivanka -- then, of course, jared, ivanka -- eric is fun. and then of course pence and trump again. sessions. just a reporter. >> thank you. >> okay. >> at this point do you see trump as wrong or evil and if the latter issue is that going to affect your drawing? still draw him as a kind of funny stupid person versus evil person, and i'm won -- >> you think my drawings are funny stupid? really? >> trump is evil. >> i do the republ

we haven't even talked about charlottesville. charlottesville really exposed a lot. when the president had those teleprompters in his face, we were like, we can breathe. but when he talked off the top of his head, the world shook. it was ugly. kkkhad david duke of the during the state of the union when the president said americans are dreamers, too. yet, it was like six or seven times -- i know i was with him when he went to the military base at fort myer and was military. the it was almost like an apology to tryn explanation tour and explain what he was saying, that both sides are good people. a woman died. a white woman died. so race is exposed and its barest sense. this is not archie bunker. this is the president of the united states. and then when you have people going in talking what they feel, particularly when it comes to the issue of immigrants, we have forgotten that we pretty much, the vast majority of us, are not natives of this land. native americans are. and we are telling people who can come in who can go. this immigration issue is about the browning of

for example, i felt his comments about charlottesville were of that nature and that is why i said what i did. interestingly, i expected us to be further apart on policy but he is not doing the 45% tariff on foreign goods and did not pull out of nafta day one. he has adopted many things i think make a lot of sense for the country and i will support him and work with him on those policies. but where we disagree, i will point that out also. >> should states restrict ak-47s and assault weapons? mr. romney: i will let the states make that decision for what is best with their own state. i think that's the best way to deal with this. >> what about utah? mr. romney: i think each state including our state ought to consider the widest array of options. find out where there is common ground. do what they need to to protect their students. i have grandkids the go to school here in utah. i want to make sure schools are safe. i will not tell people what actions would be the most effective. i have not seen proposed legislation with regard to guns that would have prevented the attacks that have occurr

he started with trying to get kids into the classic tournament held in charlottesville. he started there. but he looks to a much broader stage and said, you know, what is going on in the world of tennis, in the professional sport? was the american tennis association was established in 1899, once that established enough talent, he decided to launch a program here which would be a stepping stone for players to move up into the world tour. the program was really developed as a model taste on what dr. jay has done in the night -- in 1946 to 1950. spent winters in north carolina with dr. hubert eaton and would train in the summers. so, that was very intense training. very intense competition on a daily basis and every weekend, there were tournaments. there was not a week she was here in the summer where she was not playing tournaments and playing with some of the best players that the african-american community had to offer. so, that set the stage for what he developed in 19 31. them to train and practice with the best and brightest kids across the country. wouldould say that

hence the confederate statues in new orleans and charlottesville in the eye of the storm cannot be merely statues are cultural artifacts in the usual sense of the word culture. can better memorials on these terms were never and are never less than what one fervent history professor at the university of north carolina described as a campaign to take the southern culture of the civil war as just and slavery is that benevolent institution and made a very pointed statement about the rule of white supremacy. no, actually the monuments -- actually it was the laws of the jim crow era that did that. no one has yet shown that general lee defended on his monumental force and charlottesville to burn crosses along the blue ridge. what is cultural only becomes literally threatening and what is offensive only becomes literally lethal when it is translated into regulations. by the same token however removals of offensive speakers or offensive public art become more than merely sympathetic and tedium responses to bad taste. they are a practical and aggressive strategy under the cover of appeals to cultur

or example, i felt his comments about charlottesville were of that nature and that is why i said what i did. the 45% tariff on foreign goods and did not pull out of nafta day one. he has adopted many things i think make a lot of sense for the country and i will support him on those policies. but where we disagree, i will point that out also. should states go that far with weapons? >> i will let the states make that decision for what is best with their own state. each date including our state ought to consider the widest array of options. find out where there is common ground. to protecty need to their students. i have grandkids here in utah. not tell people what actions would be the most effective. i have not seen proposed legislation with regard to guns that would have prevented the attacks that have occurred. passing legislation that might make you feel better but does not do anything is not in our favor. i am not in favor of new federal legislation on the gun front. at let us have states look protective measures, securing building sites, essentially with police patrols or voluntary

no one has yet shown that general lee descended from his monumental horse in charlottesville to burn crosses along the blue ridge at night. what is cultural only becomes literally threatening and what is offensive only becomes literally lethal when it is translated into regulations. by the same token, however, removals of offensive speakers or offensive public art become more than merely sympathetic and pitying responses to bad taste. they are a practical and aggressive strategy under the cover of appeals to cultural offense, for suppressing political disagreement. and since the goal of the dissent is the destabilization of a political order, it should come as no surprise that the cultural rage of the confederate monument activists often shades over into furious condemnations of the entirety of american history. it is not merely confederate generals who have become targets. christchurch in alexandria, virginia, decided last month to remove the plaque marking the pew once occupied by george washington because it might make some visitors feel unsafe or unwelcome. student activists at t

all the major events of his presidency, the charlottesville tragedy -- he is just convinced he is not getting a fair shake. he meets privately with nbc's chuck todd because there is a way in which she -- in which she works them. host: is a donald trump is staking his presidency on nothing less than destroying the credibility of the media. the media are determined to do the same thing to him. -- it turns is now out to be good box office for major news organizations. organizations are appealing to an anti-trump audience. there is a whole section of the country who voted for this president. to them, not only do they think that their guy is being treated unfairly, but they believe the elite media look down on them. they view them condescendingly. there was one headline and the huffington post, a vote for trump was a hate crime. that kind of condescending attitude does undercut the credibility of the media. guest.oward kurtz, our he is the host on the fox news channel and the author of media madness. if you want to ask them (202)ons, you can call 748-8001 for republicans.

same with charlottesville. there's good people on both sides. that's after he read a statement and they had to clean it up again. for kellyanne conway or anyone else to say the president feels domestic abuse is unacceptable, you know what, b.s. if he was that upset as his spokespeople are, then he would have said so when he had the opportunity on friday and he would have tweeted it on out to reinforce it on saturday. and that's not what he did. that's because if he were to show sympathy or compassion or acknowledge he female victims he would have to acknowledge his own transgressions in this area. and he absolutely will not do that because, again, that is not in his character to ever knit fault. but, b, he is taught to double down. he probably thinks he's innocent, very paranoid. those were just false allegations against him. how come these other accusers are to be believed but his aren't to be believed. that is at the crux of this, unfortunately. this is who the american people decided to vote for. we knew who donald trump was for a long time.

ever said about that is not true, or when the president says there were good people marching in charlottesville, that is not him waging an effective war against p.c. it is nonsense. it is immoral. whoit actually helps those pushwhen we do not tell the truth, p.c.. it allows the pc promulgated to pretend they are the ones who are truth tellers, and they are not. pc is about lies. we can never let the pc left masquerade as a truth tellers, which means we must always tell the truth. every time we lie, we let them off the hook. we cannot fight the lies with more lies. we cannot fight political correctness by claiming victimhood. when they lie, let's call about. let's not say stupid things just for the sake of melting nowflakes. you do not need hotcakes to melt snowflakes. a little bit of truth doesn't -- does it every time. our job is just about facts, which is easy. make sure they are true. there's nothing wrong with poking fun at the left. make sure what you say can be backed up with evidence. we do not need to offend them. they are nearly offended by everything anyway, up to and including you br

i -- i have to come in after charlottesville, i was on vacation, right? hugely controversial. so i go on to cnn and fox news to lay down how i view those topics, right? it was kkk, anti-semitism, racism, fascism, et cetera. i laid out my first principles on major news shows, and i think the white house has to do more than that. i said the president needs to work on the presbyterian thing. that's my background and his background. things should be aired out on that ethical plain. if you want to talk about fascism, what's fascism? a big total state. my party's for a small state. so you have a debate on the issues, right? then i hear hisses coming from the audience here when you make fundamental eighth grade claims. you have to have a rational debate without people hissing and making noise and rebut human reason. i don't like the drama, the statements, a bunch of the tweets are rough, right? i don't do that, right? but people need to distinguish between this person, that comment, this person, that comment, and it's tough. we're all working on that, but you can only do what you can

more recently in charlottesville you have this young man, deandre harris who was beaten almost to deathand -- it turns out that the location she was beaten in a parking -- great with a white mob and kids and just recently -- it was the parking garage of the charlottesville police department where he was beaten and i feel like that's -- no. yeah. so caught it on video and just thinking about what you're saying it's like it happened in the garage of the police department. >> right so i think sort of thinking about both of those right the kind of wholesale surveillance in targeting and that developing of informants wanting endless information apparently agents would have to like basically explain why they didn't have a -- informant working for them even if they're working all white plates and i think to me that really resonates because -- because i think we're seeing these parallels with the ways that most students and muslim group and organizations have being surveilled today. and -- i think we don't take the right lessons so i think -- so one of the things that just -- have drone me over

i kept quiet for the longest time until charlottesville then i couldn't because here is the deal our democratic institutions are not guaranteed. read your history. we have to send a clear signal to the world that this nation is still a beacon of decency and hope we leave the world not by the example of our power but the power of example. that is why the rest of the world watches us. the power of our example.

this of course dovetails with all the major events of his presidency, the charlottesville tragedy, the russian investigation which is back in the news. he is just convincing tonv gettg a fair shake but he also meets privately with people like nbc's chuck todd andnd others because there's a a way in which he wos them over. >> host: you right in the bookkeeping donald trump is taking his presidency as did on nothing less than destroying the credibility of the news media and the meteor determined to do the same to you. you go on expand on that a light of what you just said. >> guest: there is no it turns out to be good box offers for major news organizations come you turn on at night, there are these panels against trump courts are largely paid to enter trump audience. it may be good business but the problem is there's a whole part of the country who voted for donald trump. many still enthusiastically support this president. and to them not that or do they think their guy is being treated unfairly but they believe with some justification as i write in "media madness" the elite media in wa

scott: after the charlottesville incident, the president and i were on two very different pages. he invited me to the white house to perhaps talk through some of the challenges i had with his comments that i found indefensible and disgusting. i went to the white house. yeah? listen, i think he was very interested to hear, to listen, which i thought was wonderful. as i have said several times since then, he is 70 something years old. i have never seen somebody change their mind in a single conversation. i am not trying to change her destination, just your direction, at times. one of the things he asked me is "how can i be helpful from a legislative standpoint?" my legislation, investing in opportunity act, is the way that you can help to stress the community. live a better life, see more opportunities. basically, with the investing and opportunity act, what it does is it differs or capital gains tax for seven years. you have to pay it, but we defer it, so you can make a long-term investment in a distressed community, where 50 million americans live. a prettyt that was good idea, a

as we saw with the white nationalist murder in charlottesville, this president cannot bring himself to denounce an obvious and flagrant evil standing in front of his eyes when to do so would defy his own interests and inclinations. the more we learn what his staff knew about porter and when they found out, the clearer it becomes they take this issue just as seriously as the president does. today white house chief of staff john kelly told reporters he first learned about the extent of the allegations tuesday night. >> can you clarify to us exactly, there's been a lot of reporting about the timeline and when you found out about things. can you just clarify that. >> tuesday night. >> you find out tuesday night. >> that the accusations were true. 20 minutes later he was gone. >> 40 minutes later he was gone. that echoes the story that kelly directed senior staff to adopt in a meeting this morning according to "the washington post." telling those in attendance to say he took action to remove porter within 40 minutes of learning the abuse allegations were credible. but with hour of that meet

he also thought about the kkk protesting in charlottesville not long ago. he fought for the right for them to do that, too. they have the rights and freedoms. he didn't view it as disrespectful. at the end of the day, when he's not in his uniform, he is a black man in america and he understands a lot of issue that is colin kaepernick in the league and guys in the league are fighting for. it's real life. i'm glad that it's brought to the forefront. and honestly, our president has helped lead that charge with some of the decisions he made, specifically with the way he handled the charlottesville situation, in my home state. >> you think that it will -- in some odd way help people because we will learn more about it and discuss it more and something may be done despite the way he characterizes it? >> yeah, i think it's all about just dialogue. you know, i'm not saying i'm perfect or i have all the answers. but i'm willing to have an open mind. >> um-hum. >> i understand what it's like to come from the bottom, to -- i know what it's like to be discriminated aga
