we saw this in charlottesville we, saw it in the supermarket, we saw it in pittsburg. we see it everywhere -- pittsburgh, we see it everywhere. for decades, we who traveled in europe identified the synagogues by -- you walk on street, that's the synagogue, there's the police car. now that's the norm in the united states. even on college campuses, the supposed bastion of liberal ideas and ideals, many students believe it better to camouflage their jewish identity otherwise they feel like they'll be vulnerable to attack. for far too long too many people have failed to take anti-semitism seriously. for too long, jew hatred has been belittled or discounted because jews have erroneously been considered white and privileged. this is a very real threat to jews and that alone would make it worth fighting with all our soul and with all our might. but there are reasons to fight this virus beyond the dainger is pose -- danger it poses to jews. anti-semites don't stop with hating jews. their anti-semitism is the tip of the ic can eburg of -- iceburg of hate and prejudice. and anot

we don't have -- particularly with a synagogue shooting, charlottesville, we have people who come outptable. we have not had the same thing happened with some of the things that have happened over the past few months. >> that is exactly right, people forget that the holocaust did not begin with the systematic murder 6 million jews. it began with hateful rhetoric. and the normalization of that rhetoric. the average person picked up on and ran with. it began with attacks on jewish individuals, businesses, and communities. they were perpetrated largely by citizens of the german public with permission given by the rhetoric that was on the rise. i think we do need to acknowledge that, as rabbi jacobs was saying, there is a clear connection between this language and attacks on jews that we ought not wait around for a charlottesville or a pittsburgh, god forbid, to address these issues. i think relatives is also write that antisemitism is not very well understood. it requires being called au because not everyone is fully aware of what it looks like they have thing i will say is we cannot fix

certainly there were a number of times throughout his presidency, i keep going back to charlottesville, good people on both sides, where, for many of us, it was demeaning and degrading to the united states of america to have a president who could not just call out hate speech and white supremacy as being wrong. and so, i think, it is very possible that he just impose. i think it is more likely, and particularly given that we know that there is a sector of the republican party that still beats him. that still follows him and that will still give him money. i think he still poses a danger. but i also think we need to callout is that it is not a profiling courage to, however you characterize his behavior now, after the 2022 election, when the voters so clearly are the ones who stood up and did the work and have that backbone. if republican members of congress, if mitch mcconnell, or kevin mccarthy, would have stood up to him, charlottesville, after january 6th, we might not be where we are right now. , they picked mcconnell date, he was very articulate about it. he drew trump's., and in f

and it was fascinating in the lead up to charlottesville you had all of these white supremacist racist groups who have slightly you know, perspectives you could call you know, some of them want to kill the -- right away. some of them wanted to send them to another country, know they have differences of opinion and and but the rally was called unite, right, if everyone remembers. and so that's what they were trying to do in this room, is they were trying to figure out how to coalesce, to sort of agree on things amongst themselves. they talked a lot about what they called optics, you know, we like an acknowledgment. we know most people think that we're disgusting. what do we do to sort of lessen that? and it was down to this granular details. what should we wear? you know, let's wear khakis and white shirts. what should we do about people who have tattoos? how do we deal with that? no swastika tattoos. let's not allow you know. but these were conversation these were a long, drawn out conversations debates. and they imagined together imagine, you know, disgust, crazy, ridiculous things ab

25th amendment against then president trump after his response to the white nationalist rally in charlottesville. speier, who faced death in the jungle in 1978 said she committed to her family to finally step away from congress. to leave the seat that she and her boss held for nearly 2 decades. >> it was horrific, but i had a second chance at life. it has made me fearless . i probably would not have been had i not had that experience. when you look death in the eye you are not afraid anymore. >> reporter: she made an appearance to announce nearly $17 million in foster city for district. >>> a man convicted in the plot to kidnap michigan's governor was sentenced to nearly 20 years. barry croft was part of a plot to abduct gretchen whitmer from her home in 2020. a jury convicted him in august of kidnapping conspiracy and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. >>> on to the immigration crisis. another bus carrying migrants across the u.s.-mexico border into texas arrived in new york today. individuals and families with children were left at a port authority bus terminal. this comes after a

i keep going back to charlottesville. good people on both sides. .or many of us it was the meeting, and degrading to the united states of america. to have a president who could not just call out hate speech, and white supremacy is being wrong. and i think it is very possible that he just implodes. i think it is likely. and there is a sector of the republican parties to believe some, still falls him, they'll still give him money. and so i think you suppose that danger. but i also think we need to call out is that it is not a profiling courage to say however you characterize his behavior, now, after the 2022 election. the voters, so clearly, are the ones that have been did the work, and have the backbone. if republican members of congress, if mitch mcconnell or kevin mccarthy have stood up to him, charlottesville, after january 6th. illuminati we are in this moment. >> mcconnell did. he's very articulate about. he drew trump's ire, and in fact, because mcconnell did. trump got involved in those senate primaries. >> i think he did it then he pulled back

so i think just as the president entered the race on a message about charlottesville, you can go righterms when people were encouraging the president to focus on the economy and the president chose his last message to focus on democracy. shotgun that i think was animated for a lot of voters. so i'm not surprised by the attack of the white house, a very disciplined white house going into 2024. >> you make a good point there. it was the last major speech. there was another one as well leading up to the midterms. how pivotal do you think that was in terms of strategy for the democrats' success in the mud terms and how well do you think that would work going forward? >> i think it was critical because it wasn't a threat against cross, it was a threat against your rights. half the people in this country lost a right that they were born with. and other things that happened were right. for the record, i was wrong. i thought he should have focused on getting the economy and his achievements, but he got it right. and the threat to democracy is important. moving forward, i think it's critically

- charlottesville was a really scary throwback to some of the worst conspiracy theories and bigotriesou have these people consciously imitating nazis, doing night marches and chanting, "you will not replace us." [all chanting] you will not replace us! - this led to this violence the next day where somebody was actually killed. - just moments ago, a car barreling down the street-- that's fourth and water street, - and the president comes out and says, "well, there are good people on both sides." - very fine people, on both sides. - he sent an unequivocal message to white supremacists and other radical right-wing extremists in the united states that he really was okay with what they were doing. - are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups-- - proud boys, stand back and stand by, but i'll tell you what. i'll tell you what. somebody's gotta do something about antifa and the left-- - certainly, a lot of left-leaning media saw what happened in charlottesville and trump's reaction to it as abominable, as unconscionable. but people are also seeing all of these pe

and because at time there were no in charlottesville, there were no african-american burial grounds, generally, people, african-american and residents buried their family in there. there the plots that they owned, that there, their yards. and so if you kind of extrapolate that, it is believed that perhaps sally hemings was buried beneath what is now the parking lot of a hampton inn. yeah. so yeah. which is yeah. again striking, kind of just a yeah a lot to process and again, i will say the final line of that chapter is about, you know, perhaps you know, since monticello is in the back, the neck, perhaps we should reexamine that. perhaps put the hampton inn from that area on the back of our nicole instead. all right. how this has gotten a little heavy. i imagine we're kind of talking about cemeteries, but so let's let's talk about tell me something, you know, not quite as heavy that you that you that's in your book that enjoyed and and let's let's turn this around a little maybe a good story from from either one of you from from your book that you'd like to share. well i think one of

what i saw in charlottesville was a particular galvanizing of those neofascists.ices of the movement. all who follow trump are not neofascists but they're motivated by one fundamental fact. they have a profound hatred of the professional managerial class that they see as the winners of corporate globalization and the associate that with black people, with jews, with gay brothers, lesbian sisters, trans, and used to be catholics but i ran into david duke down there and he is now head of one of the klan groups. that a catholic now running the klan. we are going to see more of that as well. you will see more jewish folks and black folks supporting the neofascists. amy: i wanted to ask about a really odd twist that has come up and i wanted as professor greer about the new republican newly elected congress who appears to have fabricated key parts of his education and employment history. that's according to an investigation by "the new york times," that congressmember-elect george santos lied when he told voters he'd worked for citigroup and goldman sachs. the irs says

against then-president donald trump in 2017, after his response to the white nationalist rally in charlottesvillespeier, who faced death in the jungle in 1978 says, she committed to her family a few years ago to finally step away from congress , to remain full-time in california to leave the seat she and her former boss held for nearly 2 decades combined. >> everyone looks at guyana as this horrific-- yes, it was horrific , but my god, i got a second chance in life and it has made me fearless, which i probably would not have been had i not had that experience. when you look death in the eye you're not afraid anymore. >>> possible leads at uc, berkeley . >>> a car crashes into a home . the cleanup as a round of rain rolls in. >>> you can see the leading edge of rain off the coast, that is what is coming after this over the next several days, really thursday, friday, saturday. saturday will be the peak. there is a first norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... it's the xfinity hello 2023 sale! now hurry, and you can get xfinity internet for $19.99 a month

>> a horrific scene in charlottesville, virginia.ed to remove the robert e. lee statue, there have been protests. and now, violence. >> tell me, who are you? >> i am stephanie roth, and i am an assistant professor of history at a college in jackson, mississippi. the images that we are seeing on our computers and our own phones and television, you can't divorce this from the need to return to some sort of innocent pass. >> what like the old south? >> yes. >> what is the old south? >> after the civil war, the old south myth is this mythologized place of big plantations, houses with currently and and modulus and hoopskirts, and southern gentlemen and happy slaves. everyone is well taken care of. some people are owned by other people, but everyone is well fed, well clothes, loved and appreciated. and that is not -- this is why something like this would appeal to white northerners, because that's not the environment that they lived in. >> it's really a story about the merits of white supremacy. you know, i saw another history, and it said

operating as human beings from one of 2 places. fear allows me to choose which one that is or charlottesville happened in the days following boston happened. it was such a turn out and just seemed that pouring support for countering that narrative of white supremacy. it really flooded me with hope. i am proud that i can be a voice against what i used to stamps or i feel like i have i have something to bring along to bigger and better things. while i'm still mindful of what i owe to society. but no one's better served by my realtor. shame at this point, including me, me the fire was caring and a r 16 and a glock at this time said suspects going about molly and you need to die. we're communicating with him and he's got an automatic weapon. it's running $8475.00 every available in, in, in, in any and logging in on a primary or on the with oh is your media a reflection of reality? ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct? what is true? what is in a world corrupted, you need to send a

made a public commitment to heal the soul of the nation after seeing hateful groups march in charlottesville, virginia, with torches and swastikas back in 2017. twitter has disbanded its trust and safety council, the latest sign that owner elon musk is taking content moderation in a new direction. the advisory group was made up of 100 independent expert organizations to address hate speech, terrorism and other problematic content. online members of the council were told that an email that twitter was quote reevaluating how best to bring external insights and that the council is not the best structure to do this founder sam blankman freed was arrested today by authorities in the bahamas after us prosecutors filed criminal charges against him. this marks a serious escalation as us officials seek accountability for the multibillion dollar implosion of the now defunct crypto company. fdx filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month after reports surfaced that the company may have used customer deposits to prop up blankman freed's trading firm alameda research singer taylor swift wants a

you wouldn't know what was happening on the ground the same way in charlottesville were it not for twitterove to know, from your perspective, as somebody who has seen you are in journey from general obscurity to now becoming someone whose voice is so respected and recognized, you write for "the new york times" as part of their op-ed. you are shaping people's opinions. how do you find a balance or how do you inspire people you teach to think critically about the world that they are living in? because half of the things we know are taught to us and then at some point, we have to decipher between what we have been taught is the truth and what is the truth or where the gray area exists. how do you begin that journey as a teacher or a learner because you are constantly learning? >> i think that is part of it. i try to always be a learner. it is really easy, i think, to develop and grow in your career and forget how overwhelming it is to learn something new for the first time. so i try to be an idiot as much as humanly possible. >> trevor: i love that. i do it all the time. >> you know, i enroll

fascists are on every corner, january 6, in charlottesville. and of course, chuck trump's trousseau chose post about the reverse of the 2010 election. now of course c.h.o.p. is adamant that he never said and he does not believe that the constitution should be suspended or terminated. but his posting was not wise. and unnecessary because he gives a pop father to his political enemies of both disparities, but if you really want to know what trent thinks about the constitution, look at the judges is put on the federal bench. they are jurors who bring in allegedly philosophy to the cases. so what republican should take from all this, is how empty the democrats 2024 basket really is. what are they have to run on? well courtesy of divided inflation, real wages are down, household wealth is down, sky-high food and energy costs are dragging everything down. in the recession is right around the corner, or it's already here, and the wind the ukraine, that is a drain on our taxpayers and that is not going well. oh and by name or names personally very unpo

america was shocked in 2017 when a white supremacist rally in charlottesville drew thousands. loneliness is driving people to dark, dangerous places and those young white men carrying tiki torches are the tip of a giant iceberg of isolated angry people who search for meaning might lead them into a seething anti-semitic or racist mob. is this -- is this part of what's to explain the extremism that we're seeing play out in the political arena? to what degree do you agree these ideas about loneliness are shared by your colleagues across the aisle? >> i really honored you read that piece. i think that a path to finding common ground between republicans and democrats is just spending more time thoughtfully inspecting the problems in this country. i think if we really spent time digging into what is hurting americans, we could more easily make the next transition to solutions. i really think loneliness is an enormous problem in this country. the data tells us that today. 30% of americans feel intense loneliness. 10%, 30 years ago. 60% of teenagers feel lonely. and totally -- it does

of his law school class, he finished in the bottom and he claimed that donald trump said about charlottesville there were good that is assist and bad nazis, trump said i'm not talking about the white nationals and neo-nazis. it isn't just that he's been lying about these things for years if not decades, it's that the media has allowed him to get away with it. >> jason: yes, joe, talking about getting away with it, for all the talk about climate this and that, the idea that the white house had to get a staff, paid for by the taxpayers, to get on a plane to carry a 4,000 page bill so he could sign it under the deadline, i mean, it just looks like the keystone cops are over there. >> jason, how many pages do you think of that 4,000-page document the president actually read. it's probably a number that you get when you multiply any number by zero, which is zero. always judge this president not by his words but by his deeds and by his actions, and instead of just flying back early from your long vacation in st. croix, or signing this monstrosity of a bill when you get back this president burns a ma

it's lit like a tiki torch in charlottesville is what it is. [ laughter ] seeing nick fuentes next tolex jones laughing it up reminded me of something. [ laughter ] the little guy on jabba the hutt. how happy is donald trump? he turned down kanye's offer to be his running mate? he really dodged a bullet there. today would be such a good day for kim kardashian to release a sex tape with bernie sanders. [ moans and laughter ] kanye wasn't done yet though. he ye'd in on a variety of subjects including dave chapelle and senate hopeful, herschel walker. >> dave chappelle does not believe in god and does not believe in jesus. these are the kind of black leaders that the zionists put in front of us. and meanwhile, we want to knock herschel walker, but her she can walker changed his life for christ. and he might have had abortions, but he doesn't believe in abortion. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: starting to think he shouldn't have dropped out of college, you know? [ laughter ] by the way, herschel walker should send kanye a thank you note right now for diverting our attention away from him. the run

the white supremacists in charlottesville, the neo-nazis, the proud boys, he doesn't take that opportunity to disavow them wholeheartedly. >> michael flynn was there helping him raise money -- against child trafficking -- >> when they talk about child trafficking, you know they think it's hillary clinton and pizzagate. >> you're using a generic term that anybody could get behind but that's not how exactly how frame this. >> i think it's important to talk about, there's a level of exhaustion. right? there is a level of all these different investigations, it's difficult to then run as the law and order president. right? under the law and order party. if you've got these things -- you talk about blood in the water. i mean, there are people who are swimming around this saying, these are things that will fatally undermine that particular talking point. do you think that these are going to land in some meaningful way? if there's not some quick indictments? it's been a long time. >> so no one outside of new york is going to care about the new york attorney general case on the trump organization.

initiated in the days and weeks after the horrific display of antisemitism and bigotry that we saw in charlottesvillee country. to amass a mix of ex practices and commitments really that leaders at the local level, mayors, council members, local municipal leaders can adhere to. and pledge themselves to combat these levels of antisemitism's, bias, and -- at all levels across the country. and the last point that all mention, in january, the natural conference of mayors is coming together in washington, d. c., and it will be working in conjunction with the national conference of mayors to lead this new push for mayors across the country want to be on the front lines, pushing against antisemitism, extremism in their city. >>, so kyle, the push against this, that -- all the resources that are playing put into educate americans are an important point. while that's happening, turning point usa's pointing a big america fest in phoenix. and everyone from kari lake, tucker carlson, to donald trump jr., will be there. so, you can anticipate a little bit of, noise. what should we know about events like that? >>

paul memorial church in charlottesville, virginia.nior pastor of the church of the incarnation in santa rosa, he retired as the interim dean of the -- thank, you i went there as a kid, i should say. i should know. here in sacramento. he's written two books, a biography about the former speaker of the california assembly, and san francisco mayor. his second book, which we will talk about tonight was just released, the abolitionists. and the abolitionist journal, memories of an american anti slavery family about his ancestors. he is a ucla graduate, and lives here in sacramento with his wife, lori, who was very much involved in the creation of this book. our moderator is ginger rattling. ginger is a retired associate editor with the sacramento b, where she was a member of the editorial board for 25 years. the issues covered, she covered included transportation, criminal justice, the courts, foster care, the census. among many others, of course. in 1993, she won the national council on crime and delinquency's award for editorials on juve

it has been that way since he said they were very fine people on both sides in charlottesville and he has done it since he frankly has made excuses all along for people like david duke, when he praised the proud boys in a debate. this is nothing new. donald trump has always been a white nationalist. he has always spewed anti-semitic and racist views. the republican party has come to accept this. we could argue whether they think that this is what the masters want to hear, or we can argue that they really do believe this hateful ideology. at some time, at some level, it doesn't matter anymore. this is what they stand for. and they should not be a major party advocating these views. and frankly, the voters who keep electing them are ultimately responsible. we came very close to giving both houses of congress to this party that is clearly under the thumb of donald trump. so at some point you have to hold the voters responsible as well. >> matthew, it seems to me that most republicans who condemn trump in this moment, even if it is tepid, i'm going to back him if he becomes the 2024 gop n

was unable and unwilling to denounce white supremacy and anti-semitism way back when after the charlottesville told you -- that's how we got here, right, because too many in the republican party allowed him to sort of play footsie and coddle and this is the same person and so and i think it's a shame that the republican party isn't more forceful but at the same time, it's easier i guess for them to denounce it now that the election was so decisive in terms of showing how little support there is. but i just want to say one other thing very quickly about this. let's also take a step back and remember, he's invoking throwing out the constitution over a laptop that belonged to his opponent's son who also happens to be an addict and having, you know, grown up with and know people who suffer from addiction, you know, the things that we will find on that laptop would not have materially changed how people feel about joe biden other than the fact that he loves his son and is trying to help someone who is an addict and addicts, many times do embarrassing horribly humiliating things in the service of th

they were and they were marched to the south and they were in turned at a camp in outside of charlottesville, virginia. and a lot them in ended up taking a pledge and joining the continental army and, serving as continental soldiers later on, the british were not real keen on exchanging them because they were mercenaries and hessians, so they were not going to the prisoners that they had, the american prisoners they had hessians, they were saving them to trade for british prisoners. and as you were talking about the prison ships in the harbor, that's where the enlisted went. so most of these changes that were done were done between officers of like rank and and gentlemen's or gentlemen. so the common prisoner is were basically kept and died in the ships by the thousands or were sent further south away from the army. they're good. and thank you. thank you, sir. we can we got colleagues here, sir. now the prussian army. do we have idea of what kind of nationality mix was involved with them? i assume they were all mercenaries. all mercenaries and from various parts of germany. i was talking wit

he did it on camera in the wake of the deadly march on charlottesville in 2019. >> i think there's blame on both sides. you look at both sides, i think there's blame on both sides, and i have no doubt about it, and you don't have doubt about it either. and, and if you reported it accurately, you would say it. [inaudible] -- >> and you have some very damned people in that group. but you also have people that were very fine people. on both sides. >> now. there were not any very fine people on the nazi site. now, ye didn't just praise generic not see, he also specifically singled out it like for price. fuentes has played -- praised hitler to. so i don't mind you, but some is trump. on an official visit to europe in 2018, then president said almost word for word what ye sudden infowars last week. it learned a lot of good things, trump told kelly -- frankly, we did win this election. i, and his late wife, even, according to a vanity fair piece in 1998, said trump kept a book of hitler speeches and a cabinet by his bat. something trump has never confirmed nor denied. kanye was eventually suspe

who was one of those very fine people on both sides -- that wasn't a joke -- [ laughter ] -- in charlottesvillehe's one of these great replacement supporters which jews and other minorities are trying to wipe out white culture. he's an election denier, thinks covid is a hoax, he's appeared at events with but i think this, more than anything, sums this guy up. bigly. >> people call me gay because i haven't had a girlfriend? if anything, if anything it makes me less gay. never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman really makes you more heterosexual, because honestly, dating women is gay. having sex with women is gay. and having sex with men is gay. and then, you know, it's really all gay. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that was the christmas episode, by the way. [ laughter ] fuentes made a statement today saying trump didn't know who he was and he didn't mean to bring any negative attention. look. you know it's a bad sign when kanye west is only the third most controversial person at your dinner table. okay? [ laughter ] for his part, after laying waste to mar-a-lago, kanye came back to l.a.

nick fuentes was a 2017 unite the right rally in charlottesville, virginia. talk about who he is and the meaning of this, the man running for house speaker kevin mccarthy, interestingly, has yet to fully condemned trump for hosting. >> nick fuentes is a well-documented white nationalist, misogynist, christian nationalist. he is very anti-democratic and has an authoritarian vision for the united states. we can say he is well-documented because right watch has been covering this every single day trying to make sure it is known that nick fuentes is a white nationalist. trump having him at a dinner is very significant, also significant trump spoke fondly of him and said, "i like this guy." it is significant that trump -- hasn't apologize for having dinner with him. there have been a number of republicans who have come forward and announced it. but it has taken too long. the fact that mike pence took a number of days before he denounced trump for holding this dinner is disappointing. and there are a number of republicans who still have not responded and announced

to become an episcopal priest and served at the as the rector of st paul's memorial church in charlottesville, virginia, and then as a senior pastor of the church of the incarnation. and in santa rosa. he retired as the interim dean of trinity episcopal church. cathedral, thank you. i went there as a kid, i should say. i said now here in sacramento. he's written two books. willie brown, a biography about the former speaker of the california assembly and san francisco mayor. his second book, which we'll talk about tonight, was just released. the abolitionists journal. well, the abolitionists journal, memories of an american anti-slavery family about his ancestors. he's a ucla graduate and lives here in sacramento with his wife, lori, who was very much involved in the creation of this book. our moderator is ginger rutland ginger rutland. this is a retired associate editor with the sacramento bee, where she was a member of the edit editorial board for 25 years. the issue's covered. she covered included transportation, criminal justice, the courts, foster care, the census and gambling, among many
