the charlottesville nazi's fate is proof that they can be beaten. the saying goes for the army of chuds who stormed the capitol on january 6th. despite the trauma of that day and lost lives, those insurrectionists ultimately failed to achieve their one goal of overturning the 2020 election and leaving trump in charge. biden was sworn in, anyway. and trump's little army are getting prosecuted instead, if they're not in hiding or hiding behind their jobs in congress. that includes one of the most recognizable insurrectionists, jacob chansley while asked being called the qanon sha man. despite their wild distortions schools are teaching antiracism, standing up to them and crt, itself, remain as part of college curriculums and the book updated the 1618 project is poised to be a best seller. while batches have slowed the fight against covid. the fact is more than half of americaning have been fully vaccinated and rates in blue states are close to 70% a. large majority of americans support vaccinations most welcome vaccine mandates. these are small but en

the combination of these dark forces from the unraveling of the voting rights act, to trump, to charlottesvilleattack on january 6th, is a desperate attempt to forestall precisely the kind of world that robert e. lee fought against. unsuccessfully. yet today in richmond, we were witness to an incredible scene. this huge monument of the confederacy in richmond, but up in 1890. the statue robert e. lee that had been transformed by graffiti and anti racist messages following last summer 's murder of george floyd, was removed after more than 130 years. as people looked on chanting, " hey, hey, goodbye.

the statues when the neo-nazis came into charlottesville to spew all of the stuff i have ever heard,ll of that inspired by trump, and i begged him to come out to condemn them, and he said there were good people on both sides, but that is not the case. it was a symbol of hate and division. i have an election this year, and i am running against a republican endorsed by trump, and extreme position to take the money out of the public schools and give them to private schools. we have to invest in the schools. regardless of the zip code, it is quality schools and quality teachers, but taking the statues down, and people are divided. you have glenn youngins is going to do nothing but to divide people. so this race for attorney general is going to be important to make our state open and welcoming and get rid of the relics of the past and bring people together and lift everybody up, and make sure that everybody gets a quality world class education, and that is what it is, and my opponent is campaigning today with ben carson who on abortion does not believe that a woman should have an abortion

you talk about robert e lee, but we now just saw in charlottesville, just very recently, the great statue of robert lee taken down. also in richmond, virginia, the statue that dominated the, you know, the main boulevard. taken down and chopped up and shipped off so they can figure out what to do about it in your peace. you quote james baldwin, who is, who has an optimism about the future. but he says, we can have, you know, essentially rose tinted glasses looking at things we need to see things how they are. so i guess, as we're talking about essentially, america unraveling in good ways and having that discussion. what are you seeing by way of, of, i won't call it a bounce back because i'm not sure that's what we deserve or want. but essentially, a more informed, more enlightened, less dysfunctional or domestic context in america. and maybe unraveling the american empire with the rest of the world is a healthy thing. mean, so how do you see the potential next steps? well, that's a very interesting point you raise. i mean, on the one hand, i think those of us who have some trepidation abou

and there, i think a government potentially lead charlottesville, formerly more of a respond to more of the honda for reaction to des ideas. well, you mentioned the, these foreign policy issues don't appear to be hugely important in terms of the coalition negotiations, given that everyone seems to be on the same page. does that mean then that you think something like, for instance, climate change might actually take center stage and in the coming weeks and months? i think and particularly as p d and the greens are very close aligned on their climate change proposals. they want to make a germany climate neutral by 2042045. the all of the all agree on phasing out coal. we all agree on very ambitious c o 2 reduction gold. i think the stumbling block here could be the f d p which traditionally sees solutions in terms of making germany agreement, economy more in pushing for technological innovation. left state intervention. they want to rather reduce the fees for you to emissions and make it easier for industry and lower taxes, but also the f t p has very ambitious climate change goal in

as it came down on the field here in charlottesville and then he went and spoke to members of the volunteer fire department who were cold into action on that day. 20 years ago. it was a day that george bush obviously remembers. we all remember the pictures of him being told that america is under attack as he read 2 primary school children in florida and then realizing just how it was. he talked about how this is a special place. how is a place of coverage where there was 40 members of the crew and the passengers voted to take action to try and reclaim the flight. because they were aware of what had happened at the pentagon and in new york. and ultimately they were unsuccessful. george bush, you say, talked about how and medical needs to find a sense of unity. he talked about how politics become very divisive in recent years . and he said he didn't offer any solution. and he also also talked about the violent extreme as it both home and abroad. he said the old, all those little cultural overlap. you said they are children of the same fellow spirit and said it was us duty to continue to confr

it happened when charlottesville, they came back to unite the right but the thing that's disgursing toame republicans that don't condemn the rally are the same ones blasting the biden administration about afghanistan and when i look at the people who come on saturday i draw very close parallels to the taliban. they are people who don't want respect for democracy, who don't have respect to die verging ideas and what is people on january 6 stood for and if you won't condemn shame on you and people should take them on in the primary and not be afraid of donald trump. we have to have some leadership in the republican party and stand up or we will be in a cycle of that. >> that's an extreme example and to equate them to the taliban. obviously very oppressive, violent regime. >> even if you care about the republican party, i want to defer a little on this, but if you care about the republican party you should want people to come out and say this ain't it. that's the problem. if the core of the republican party going forward, i mean the base of the republican party, is founded on an idea that

taken to keep anti-protesters from causing another conflict like they have done in places like charlottesville? how do you deal with two different groups on opposite sides may be in the same place? guest: that is why you have a lot of police officers, but it starts earlier. hopefully when you have contact with people who are going to demonstrate or protest, pro or con something, and you talk to the leadership so that when they get a permit, if you request them, talk about what their intention is and lay out some ground rules. they might have coordinators who will deal with leadership on the police department just to help them keep calm. in most demonstrations, who do not mean to cause harm, will have some type of coordinator, judge, or guides to try to keep everybody calm. now, and the district of columbia, today and other days, when you are mixing between jurisdictions of the metropolitan police department, the capitol police, and metro transit police, there are coordinated efforts to manage the crowds. if things get out of hand, then the leadership in either department depending on where thi

we go back to charlottesville, back to biden's decision to run. someone who'd run twice and never found his footing in any of those races in any meaningful way. he always had this burning ambition even eight years after being the vice president. and he decided to run, spurred by this belief that what was happening in the country, white supremacy, this was un-american. his traditional center left politics never really but democracy was at risk. that fueled him in a different way to almost feel like he was in mission before he made a formal decision to almost willed himself to run, to try to confront what trump and his mind was doing to the country. it's a human story, and it is a political story and it is a reaction. >> it is almost time to start taking some questions from the audience. but before we do i have one quick question for both of you and i will start with bob costa is trump going to run again? >> he continues to tease it publicly and says to everybody he knows you're going to like my decision. his confidantes were working with him now or

didn't want to punish that group, who didn't want to say anything bad about neo-nazis marching at charlottesvillefor goodness sake, because there were people in that movement that supported him. that didn't -- that said nice things about him. and at the end of the day that's all that mattered. look what happened in the aftermath of january 6th. he went from not saying anything to kind of supporting this failed rally that went on a couple of weeks ago on the hill p. and amanda, trump continuing his efforts to undermine democracy, setting the stage for 2024. this time defending his efforts to get state officials to audit or question the 2020 results. take a listen. >> they say i'm being aggressive, but you have to be aggressive to weed out this horrible election corruption. you have to be aggressive. in truth, they're not after me. they're after you. i just happen to be in the way. that's what's really happened. >> once again we just have to underline the president is lying. former president is lying. there was no evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the election result and the only

let's get back to the charlottesville rally that led to heather heyer's death was about defending a statuebert e. lee. don't these monuments provide a rallying cry for hateful ideology? i know you'll say at least it exposes them. maybe i'm putting words in your mouth. but doesn't it sort of provide a rallying cry for them and it gives them, you know, some sort of something to, you know, defend and come out for, rally for? >> probably does, and that's very tragic, and that's very unfortunate. let me say one other thing, though. you know, there's buildings being built all the time. there's lots of things to memorialize. i'm certainly against memorialization of, you know, robert e. lee, a traitor. i do think it would be nice to maybe spend a bit more time thinking of, well, there are a lot of wonderful people that need to be memorialized, and we should do that. there should be memorials to medgar evers, to john lewis, to fannie lou hamer. let's spend more time memorializing the true heroes of american history. let's not forget that part of the struggle. >> so maybe fannie lou hamer should go

it goes back to charlottesville, back to biden's decision to run. he would run twice before, never found his footing in any of those races in any meaningful way but he had this burning ambition eight years after being vice president and he decided to run spurred by this belief what was happening in the country, a white supremacist march in central virginia, this was un-american and his traditional centerleft democratic politics never really caught fire but his ability to see democracy at risk. that fueled him in a different way to almost be like he was on a mission in the years of 2017, 2018, 2019 before he made a decision to will himself to run to confront what trump in his mind was doing to the country . and it's a human story, it's a political story andit's a reaction . >> it's almost time to start taking some questions from the audience. but before we do, i have one quick question for both of you. and i'll start with bob costa and bob woodward. is he going to run again? >> he continues to use it publicly and says everybody he knows, you're going

it was after charlottesville, to restore the soul of the nation. i wonder if you can expand that. how much of his commitment to cooperating with the january 6th select committee is about not just sort of addressing that stain looking back, but in what we are talking about, in making a statement, and protecting the homeland from anyone inclined to commit violence based on extreme political views? >> well, when i think of white house, they remind me, often, as i said, that president biden really does feel like his moment as president was to really work on the political divisions and the danger of disinformation in our society and in our world. in particular in the united states, where we are seeing, as you stated, lawmakers having to hire personal security in order to keep their families safe because they don't agree with every single word that former president trump says and the lies about the election. when i talk to folks at the white house they really do sort of center this idea that president biden sees this as a moment for him to really help the future of america to preserve o

we got charlottesville. we got a racial divide in the country. he didn't do anything. we lost jobs.e actually did a tax cut for the rich. so he isn't doing anything. if you want to compare the first nine months to both of them, trump got an f. he gets a. i don't want to hear about how the optics look. he's doing the job. if you are in management, that's what you have to do. you don't worry about the doggone what his approval ratings are because he's got three and was it three in almost three eight years ago. so anybody that want to complain about how the optics look, realize one thing. war is what it is. what you saw with those people at the border and afghanistan, that's how war is. people have never seen those type of scenes because that's what war does. host: this is brenda out of fort meade, new jersey. brenda, republican. what grade would you give the president's job performance? caller: i would give president biden an f. i'm so disappointed in how he's running the country. i think they could both do better for us. i just don't know anymore. i've always been a democrat. but i a

>> this is -- it reminded me most of when he was giving the speech is after charlottesville. george w. bush came out then and said white supremacy is a blight on this nation. he was more direct in the past. you're right. he has been relatively silent about all the issues the trump administration, he's only come out to speak on rare occasions like this one. i mean, i wouldn't quite say too little too late considering the fact that a lot of the republican base no longer looks up to george w. bush the way they did especially those who became trump supporters and trump spent the majority of the 2016 campaign on his brother jeb bush. there is no love lost between these families at all at this point but speaking more broadly about how bush was appealing for unity and that contrasts with the trump era. i mean, it's a very nice idea that we can come together. i think that we run the risk of idealizing that period after september 11th a little too much. it has been 20 years and it's a nice to look back and think things were better and we were unified back then but if you think about a

arguments that he's used all the way back to his announcement of running the first time and to charlottesvilleormer president's statement on the removal of that statue in richmond help. writes here of the late general. if only we had robert e. lee to command our troops in afghanistan. that disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago. he goes on to say, except for gettysburg, lee would have won the war. many things here. first, let's start with except for gettysburg and -- >> details. >> minor details. >> he would have won that war. >> one is assessing lee that way and making this claim about how the civil war would have unfolded, and the second is lee wasn't on the side of the union, and so here he is invoking him about what he would do for the nation where the history is just the opposite, so we don't even know if lee would be fighting on the side of the united states, and i think that's why this historical argument is so contorted and obviously it's a political appeal, not a historical argument. >> also. i'm not quite sure that he wrote that statement. it wasn't

four years ago, another statue of lee came down in charlottesville, virginia.olent and resulted in the death of protester heather heyer. now that it's gone, what can we learn from this statue? historian jonathan horn shared this idea when he was on our program. >> there is something to learn from them. what we learn from them is something that's ugly. it's that our country continues to romanticize the confederacy and turns these people into national heroes in many cases. it's just recently that that has begun the change. >> officials are still deciding what to do with the statue and the area where it once stood. >>> the biden administration called for the rollout of covid booster shots, but the world health organization is pleading with the u.s. to slow down. we'll explain when we come back. ♪ there's an america we build ♪ ♪ and one we explore one that's been paved and one that's forever wild but freedom means you don't have to choose just one adventure ♪ ♪ you get both. introducing the all-new 3-row jeep grand cherokee l jeep. there's only one. welcome to alls

think about jews will not replace us in charlottesville. think about all these things, the manifesto of the man who went to the walmart and shot over 20 latinos, hunted them down in el paso, texas. think of all those things and just how, you know, it was about divide and conquer. and i think that they saw that a winning strategy, making white people feel angry, feel distressed, feel passionately okay to be racist. but, you know, so this is conflating the immigration issue with racism. if it was 20,000 norwegians in the southern border, would tucker carlson be saying the same thing? it happens to be 20,000 black haitians and central americans. and if he thinks that haitians and central americans are more obedient, i was born in nicaragua, i suggest one day he leave his little bubble in his studio and get out of this country and go see what people -- let's remember that haiti was one of the first republics in the hemisphere that declared its independence, that it was slaves rebelling in haiti that made it one of the first independent countrie
