. >> let me go to cornell brooks. thank you for coming on. the 1st time you're on and i appreciate you taking the time. what is the position of the naacp, your organization, of jeff sessions as an attorney general? >> we're very, very troubled. when you think about the fact that 30 years ago, as a prosecutor, he described the aclu and naacp as un-american organizations, he described a group of civil rights organizations including the naacp as, quote, forcing civil rights down the throats of americans. he described an african-american subordinate as boy and told him to watch what he said around white folks, as it were. and if we move from his prosecutorial misconduct to his legislative record as a senator, he's received a consistent and bad failing grade from the naacp. so what we see here is an administration in its early days signaling that it is hostile toward or indifferent to the civil rights agenda of the country. so the question is, if he was not good enough to be a federal judge, in attributing the law, how is he good enough to be atto

the president and ceo of the naacp cornell williams brooks is with us today.hank you very much for joining us. so the cnn/orc battleground states show trump supporters are more enthusiastic than clinton supporters are. and these are crucial states. why do you think that is? >> well, they may be enthusiastic about mr. trump, and that's certainly -- they're right. but african-americans are very enthusiastic and very committed to the issues that should be driving this election, in terms of police misconduct and criminal justice reform and voter suppression, which is r rampant and raw and widespread, and the state of our economy. those are the issues driving african-americans to the polls. in north carolina, where we have active voter purging going on, where we have reports from the field where people are receiving letters discouraging them from voting, where we have a presidential candidate who is sending in poll monitors to monitor voter -- imagined voter fraud opposed to real voter suppression as practiced by politicians. >> you say donald trump supporters are

cornell william brooks, the president and ceo of the naacp. just ahead, after years of antagonizing each other, president obama and donald trump go face to face in a remarkable meeting in the white house. >> we had never met each other. i have great respect. the meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half. and it could have, as far as i'm concerned, it could have gone on for a lot longer. millions of you are online right now, searching one topic. that will generate over 600 million results. and if you've been diagnosed with cancer, searching for answers like where to treat, can feel even more overwhelming. so start your search with a specialist at cancer treatment centers of america. start with teams of cancer treatment experts under one roof. start where specialists use advanced genomic testing to guide precision cancer treatment... ...that may lead to targeted therapies and more treatment options. start where there's a commitment to analyzing the latest research and conducting clinical trials-to help each patient get the personalized cancer

>> cornell brooks makes a great point.the ends date, whoever the attorney general is ought to be sbhoed protects the rights of all americans, no matter what they look like. and as an american of color, i want to make sure that my rights are protected. i want to make sure the rights of people who -- with whom the attorney general designate or at least nominee may not agree with, i want to make sure their rights are protected, too. cornell brooks raises a good point. we want to make sure that everybody's protected. and -- and i think those are some of the questions that senator sessions has to put to rest if he wants to have the strong support of all americans, including americans of color. >> do you think sessions can actually protect those rights? are you saying he can or can't? what do you think? >> of course he can. i believe that he can. he's got to prove, he's got to show folks, african-americans, the lgbtq community, different -- the latino community, that he would be the attorney general for all people. and that the

numbers for early voting or what they anticipated when it comes to african-americans and again cornell brooks said he is expecting there will be a rush of african-americans on november 8 but president obama is definitely trying to sound the alarm as loud as he can. he's telling people, look, health care will be rolled back, everything he worked for, climate change issues, things that are intrinsic for the nation as well as particularly focusing in on african-americans. it will change if donald trump becomes president and he wants to make sure his legacy is continued with number 45 if that is hillary clinton. >> meantime on trump, ed, this is to you, the fact that he's not stepping in it, he is not tweeting, who knows what at 3:00 in the morning, he is talking about substance and the obamacare premiums going up, he's talking about the fbi reopening its review of the hillary clinton e-mails and it could be working for him. >> detective be, i look the way he's comported himself in the last few days the same exact way he did in the days after secretary clinton's health care there on 9/11 at the c

and i talked to cornell brooks, the head of the naacp before we went on the show and he said, we aree watch right now and we're working with justice. i talked to people at justice. they said, we are watching this and trying to make sure that we are enforcing what needs to be enforced. they're saying fbi as well as justice are working on this. we have to wait and see and hopefully, president-elect donald trump will allay fears and concerns and speak to this. he has to speak to many of these issues. >> bill, it was an unusual situation in the days following the election, where you had the adl, the anti-defamation league, working with the muslim american groups, and calling the for somebody to speak out. >> i think it would be pretty easy, honestly, for the president-elect to call 15 to 20 religious leaders and the conference table, let some of them be televised. reassure them, we may have policy differences about immigration or other issues, but that he doesn't intend to discriminate. >> he could go to a mosque, he could go to a synagogue. there's something he could do, in this moment

cornell william brooks. >> good morning. >> good morning, kornell. >> attorney general, why?llows an ugly campaign in which we have seen racism and cynicism normalized, misogyny mainstream, islamophobia deexceptionalized. his nomination is a 30 year record in the senate of failing grades which was back to civil rights as a prosecutor in alabama, african-american attorney as a boy, said that the naacp and aclu were un-american organizations forcing civil rights down the throats of americans and so we have a bad record in the senate and record as a prosecutor following a campaign in which anti-semitism and racism and misogyny became the order of the day. let's be clear about this. where we have seen in recent days 701, at least, hate crimes as attested to by the southern poverty law center. we have seen parents and teachers afraid for their children and a country divided by race and religion and distrust, in which racial dog whistles are blown so we have really americans at one another in racial or i should say cowering in fear because of the climate in this country. we need an

the economic fallout from this election, the senior fellow at the brookings institute and senior protest sore of trade policy at cornell university. boy, do we need a trade expert when it comes to this election, eshwar. we have a 33% chance that donald trump will win the presidency. that's according to 5:38 and nate silver's numbers. how are you assessing the risks tied to trade if that were to happen? >> well, i'm just back from a few days of meetings in beijing. i can tell you every meeting with the government officials, the u.s. elections is topic number one. i wanted to talk about the chinese economy, they wanted to talk about every twist and turn in the clinton/trump race. there is a real concern in china and many other countries that there could be a significant reset in american trade policies, especially towards countries like china. what clinton will expect to get is a small course reset but no fundamental change, although certainly hillary has come out against the transpacific partnership trade agreement. but with donald trump, the real concern is not only much more antagonism versus china but a great deal of
