mark bray from dartmouth -- >> laura: i won't to dartmouth. he wrote the book on antifa. i want to play this for you, this is chuck todd's interview he did with mark bray to explain why the violence. listen to this. watch. >> when pushed, they resist the notion of turning to the government or turning to the police who we have seen have been infiltrated by white supremacists, the return to law and order of fascism. that does not -- it does dovetail into now what we're hearing from aoc plus three, that this is concentration camp, this is nazis, hitlerian. if hitler exists in the united states, you have to do everything you can to stamp it out. this is where this is going. they say concentration camp and all hell breaks loose. he seems sympathetic to the group. >> he is. naturally he donates -- he has proceeds from his book go to antifa. that is a side point. antifa are masters of double speak. you can see anti-fascist. they're anything but. they appropriate words that mean one thing to one audience and dog whistle to their followers something else. >> laura: they seem like

danny blanchflower, who's economics professor at dartmouth college, who has described you as head ander candidates, said, "why would anyone want to put themselves in the position of having to deal with brexit?" do you think he's right that actually it's not a desirable job because of the challenge in thatjob? look, i don't want to go into the merits of the job. i'm sure a really good candidate will come into thatjob. i do think that the issue of brexit is going to be a very difficult one for the central bank to deal with. there is a belief across the world today that central banks have this magic bullet, that they can fire any time, they're just not firing it right now. the reality is monetary policy has less and less effect as we use it over a period of time. and believing that that will be the answer to many of our problems is, i think, overly optimistic. the central bank governor could just drop interest rates and that will help everyone. and that will help everyone. and i think, to some extent, the central banking community is partly responsible for this myth. because they have to

i went back to dartmouth and got a degree in biochemical engineering. >> for the rest of your career, what did you do? i got a job at a technology consulting firm. stuff i had done on the chemical engineering side , designing devices that could ,onvert gasoline into hydrogen a lot of neat alternative energy stuff. i did that for three years. and i gradually became concerned about global warming as the central challenge of our time. and increasingly convinced that there were tons of companies that had technologies not ready for prime time that were hiring us as consultants. like if thelt companies that have mature technologies can't figure out how to sell them, maybe it is a business problem. and so, i took over a small manufacturing company in massachusetts with a technology that was twice as efficient as the electric grid. we went from 60-70 projects and moved to chicago and started doing the same thing on a bagel -- bigger scale. and did that for another six or seven years. >> how did you become a politician? rep. casten: i'll let you know when i become one. [laughter] >> was at the

there is a book by mark bray, professor at dartmouth university, antifa anti-fascism handbook callinglence against anybody they claim is fascist because they see themselves as the resistance or violent revolutionaries, trying to fight for freedom but ultimately it is just -- >> you said you were part of this organization when you were 18. did you participate in any of these violent clashes? >> fortunately i never heard anyone. there were a lot of things i did back then, a lot of vandalism. it is this mob mentality. a lot of people go to these mob rallies not thinking american to hurt somebody but they come in and all of a sudden you're in the moment and this mob mentality and you start doing things you otherwise wouldn't notice. as a matter of fact if you notice and that video multiple people attack andy. i'm willing to bet a lot of the people who attacked and he didn't even know who he was, they saw one of their members attack him and just piled on and start attacking him just because somebody attacked him. >> let's talk about what is coming up this weekend, there is an allegation, a

i dealt with that back in the days of dartmouth. or what we are seeing with some of the more violent and the tents will make elements of antifa? >> strong liberals, those who do not think they are racist but being racist. those liberals who have racial bleeding for minorities, like muslims, irrespective that there are muslims who want to be a real americans, who want to have equality. they do not want preferences based on race. they do not want preferences based on gender. this congresswoman is completely erratic. she's wrong! and people have got to say that you are wrong and that you are distorting and inverting the language and the history of america's civil rights movement. >> laura: when she said this. i want to play this really quick and we've got to take a break, but this is what she said last night about president trump. watch. >> when we are talking about the president, people will say, his remarks are racist and will forget the inherent racism that has always been part of him, and how much he always takes an opportunity to

she used to be at dartmouth, named tina run. tnick. now it's kirsten gillibrand. i have suspicions.he's jettisoned everything she ran for when she was seeking her first seat in congress in update new york. you also, you also shouldn't tell lies that people can see. when she announced, tucker, she said i'm a young woman. i thought to myself, i'm going look her up on google and see how old she is. she's 52. i'm sorry, you know -- >> tucker: i totally agree. and, quick, what happened to spartacus, corey booker? >> spartacus, i'm also suspicious of people who have fictional characters in their life story. barack obama had the composite girlfriend. corey booker has t-bone, a fictional drug dealer, tries to portray himself as a man of the street, he went to yale law school, went to stanford, a rhodes scholar. tv is a cool medium. you can't be yelling. he was up there, spartacus, this is my spartacus moment. tucker, as we all know, spartacus got crucified. i mean, come on. corey booker? who are you kidding. >> tucker: watch the ends of the movie, find out what happened. howie, great to see

we have mark bray from dartmouth who wrote antifa the anti-fascist handbook and advocates for politicale. and at the leadership institute, we had a professor from colorado state university, who said that she was done talking to people on her opposition that, she was ready to punch them in the neck. unfortunately, we are seeing a resurgence of political violence by the left. >> tucker: you believe that antifa is the incubated on college campuses, everyone federally subsidized, by professors. >> i think so, that's where they're getting their philosophy from. and i'm actually really excited to start a college tour, i will be talking to college students about my background and why i joined antifa. cnn is inoculating antifa but it goes beyond that. we have to look at where the sentiment comes. from i'm mexican and i grew up watching telemundo and they're far worse than cnn. they like to teach their audiences that president trump is the worst person in the world. a lot of people in antifa are taking a lot of ideas from these networks. >> tucker: i'm not surprised at all. gay brel, thank you f

what comes next in the u.k., we are welcoming danny blanchflower, a current economics professor at dartmouthoins us from burlington, vermont. it is always good to have you. again, a brexit story. we have more news, a landslide victory for boris johnson. he quickly rolled out an early general election. but even with the dup on board they would have a small majority in the house, so can we expect a general election anytime soon? prof. blanchflower: i think it is very much on the table. it is not really in his immediacy. but it will be imposed upon him likely because he will not be able to get a majority in the house of commons, so that will inevitably generate a general election. the question is, could he when it? it is not clear he could. a majority of two is very fragile. there is even talk that six of his own mp's may be going to the liberal democrats. so this is a very big day for boris johnson. he looks like he is going to be prime minister. it may be for a very short time. but the problems really start to come in very quickly. there is the issue of iran, but the big deal as well as the e

she used to be, when she was at dartmouth, she was named tina rudnick.ow her name is kirsten gillibrand. i just have a suspicion about people like that. she is also somewhat, as you say, she has jettisoned everything she ran for when she was seeking her first seat in congress in upstate new york. you know, you also shouldn't tell lies that people can see. i remember when she announced, tucker, she said i a young woman. i thought to myself i'm going to look her up on google as a whole she has she's 52. i'm sorry. >> tucker: she's older than i am, and i'm not young. i totally agree. what happened to spartacus, cory booker? >> spartacus is -- i'm also suspicious of people who have fictional characters in their life story. barack obama had the composite girlfriend. cory booker has a guy, t-bone, a fictional drug dealer and he tries to portray himself as a man of the street. he went to yale law school, stanford. he is a rhodes scholar. the other thing, tucker, as you well know, tv is a cool medium. you can't be yelling. he was out there, spartacus. this is my
