[laughter] and david duke was the best man at their wedding. [laughter] so these are, like, very unusual christmas celebrations. [laughter] but, you know, derek's mother and david duke's two daughters are incredibly ideologically committed but not public in their commitment. so, for instance, derek's mother had a fairly normal working life where she worked as an executive assistant at a sugar company owned by a cuban-american family, and, you know, but a lot of the money that she was earning in that job was going back into storm front and back into those things. so i think, like, in the case of derek's family, the, you know, his mother and his two half-sisters fueled a lot of the energy and the passion that went into this ideology, but they did it from behind the scenes. probably because despite all of its other screwed-up ideas about, you know, privilege and structural prejudices in america, white nationalism is also a chauvinist movement. so probably the women in white nationalism do not get a fair crack at the leadership divisions. yeah. >>

there were aides in the bush white house that didn't want him to comment on david duke. but what george h.w. bush understood was this wasn't just a republican moment and it wasn't just a statement moment as it related to louisiana. this was a national moment and it required a national voice to speak against racism and hate that david duke embodied. he rejected the counsel of his aides to speak out elegantly and authentically. that was the real george h.w. bush. we see how much those qualities are missed, how much they're needed. >> can i just tie into that? he understood there were times in american history and in world history where we couldn't hide our special lights under a bushel. he also knew that those who would do evil would love the darkness. that's why he was not only tender hearted, he was tough minded. what's more importantly, more important, is he was willing to take the risk to do the right thing. that is part of his leadership that is often underappreciated. a tough principaled leader who would take the risk to do the right thing. he understood at the end o

this is david duke. grand wizard of the ku klux klan. that david duke? last time i checked.h‘s autobiographical book, black klansman is a stranger than fiction tale starring john david washington as the african—american detective who infiltrates the ku klux klan with the help of hisjewish colleague, played by adam driver. i think it's lee's best work since his oscar—nominated 1997 documentary four little girls, combining the stylistic slickness of 25th hour and the controversial potential of bamboozled. it was produced by the team behind get out and, like that film, it slips seamlessly from borderline absurdist humour to all too real horror. black klansman opened in the uk in august, six months after marvel‘s black panther helped change the whitewashed face of the modern superhero blockbuster. directed and co—written by ryan coogler, who made fruitvale station and creed, black panther was one of the best looking and most entertaining comics based movies in years. marvel scored another blockbuster hit this year with avengers: infinity war, the first instalment in an intergala

there to kick the living republican out of him this president cannot bring himself to denounce david duke in the campaign finally he said i disavow. okay? that's as much you can do i'm sorry a republican in my world would drag them out into the street and horse with him. this party always had an element we pretended it was not there and fought against it because we did have republican leaders at the top were not tolerant robert wong - - ronald reagan scorched of the clan this time of surprise they don't have a concession stand with the conservative movement where these people are overtly dog whistling to the volume of the air raid siren i'm sorry i don't know the rules here because i do have a notoriously salty tongue. >> on the 72nd delay i did report one morning and i called them chicken shut their way is a 72nd delay i was told i shouldn't say things like that on national television. . >> but the death touch of trump those horrified consequences to be his ally have played out in slow-motion they are not done yet they are 336 seats across the country by the time they are counting they w

he goes on meet the press and says can you believe david duke says nice things about him he will not denounce him? donald trump goes on a two of the museum is as i wish pat buchanan would come here he might learn something this was the tramp campaign. then he ends up backing out but then you really need to organize. but buchanan was cleaning trump. but february 2000 go back to this amazing piece of history trump decides to end his campaign with the op-ed to "the new york times" he talks about all the people pat buchanan has attracted to the reform party including david duke and a few others and trump says i am simply not comfortable being associated politically with these people and they have no place and that is the and of the op-ed. . >> he referred to as the supporters as wackos which years later john mccain would say about the lack a doodle. [laughter] . >> so that is the amazing moment that it could we are its head we are its head. it isn't just about what politicians say and do but in some ways the failure of political parties so what was the role of the parties and party leade

creation of gamers, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the trump campaign and our believers in david dukethe ku klux klan, david spencer, the neo-nazi and robert spencer of the phobia, to the point -- s how they went after to suppress the african-american vote and there was no doubt in my mind or anybody else's in the intelligence committee that doesn't believe that it took american citizens to assist them and really getting down to where these voters were needed to be suppressed. >> tucker: in case you weren't transcribing that as we watched, let me boil that down. it includes a bewildering array of figures including the john birch society, kkk, david duke, people who play online video games, steve bannon, a religious blogger named robert spencer, and others. collectively their goal was not to select donald trump but to hurt african-americans. why would russian intelligence do that? if you have to ask, you are probably working for vladimir putin, too. so shut up. it goes without saying that all of this is completely insane and there is no evidence to support any of it. worse than that, i

and then pretending to not know who david duke is. what we know is i obviously don't know the president personally and can't speak to whether or not he actually personally believes any of these things, but what i do know is he's played coy and he's played cute with these groups and he certainly hasn't decried their support and pushed it away. in fact, he's done things that many people, many experts think have only emboldened these groups. >> let's talk about incidents. there's a number we can talk about. authorities in pittsburgh investigating anti-semitic pamphlets that were found around pittsburgh, including squirrel hill. that's where the 11 members of the tree of life synagogue were gunned down back in october. and then in ohio today the fbi announced the arrest of a man allegedly planning attacks against synagogues. here's what the adl found, that a 57% increase in anti-semitic incidents in 2017. it is looking like 2018 was not much better than that. >> of course. and by most measures, not only the adl's measures, the splc's meas

what about david duke? >> everyone always says those two. >> reporter: and the kkk. >> everyone says those two guys and the kkk, let's get them all together. you're lucky if they fill up a living room. >> i believe that's a federal offense. >> reporter: his wife, who has asked not to be shown on camera due to safety concerns, says it's a relief to no longer have her husband be part of this controversial group. >> this is impeding on the peace for my opportunity to raise my kids. >> it's my fault. >> it's your fault. well, no. >> i'm not being sarcastic. >> i was raised in a liberal household. i'm a die hard democrat and so your politics having evolved this way in the last few years has been a challenge. but i respect anyone's right to have their opinion. >> reporter: meantime, his account was suspended from twitter in august, banned from facebook in october, and yesterday, terminated from youtube. he was also ousted from blaze tv after less than a week at the conservative network. he responded in a statemen

it's celebrated by david duke, the former kkk leader. it's celebrated by alt-white supremacists and white nationalists. it's a symbol of resentment towards this nation's racial progress over the last 70 years. again, just to sort of bring it home for all of you, on this friday night, i mentioned earlier that i'm 64. president trump is 72. we're about the same age, eight years' difference. nothing grand in terms of the scale of difference in age. but the progress in race relations that i have been describing to you earlier, especially the formation of that black middle class and the heightened black political voice, is the story of my lifetime. my dad's education, his housing, his jobs, were all limited by the color of his skin. my dad was born in 1902 and then here i am, born 1954, and if my dad came back to life in 2018 and he saw that i live in an integrated neighborhood, he would say son, that's a different world. and fe sif he saw my daughter's georgetown law degree, he would say wait a minute, georgetown doesn't accept black student

he has said that russia is the last great white empire and finally the infamous david duke says it's the key to white survival. so why the alt-right? that's a complicated question. one of it has to do with politics. and a connection between putin, russia and russian orthodox. since 2011, putin has more explicitly appropriated the russian orthodox church, russian politics for a new political agenda and especially as a defender of traditional values, antiwesternism and anti-liberalism. it's important to know within orthodoxy, it's had a bit of a self-identification of the proximate other and part of that is an anti-westernism. and part of that is related to that is an anti-secularism. however, that's seemingly defined and related to that is an anti-liberalism. this is a move that has moved into the orthodox sphere. so there's a kind of new west that's emerged within the o orthodox that has something to do with the with protestant, it has something to do with the broader public sphere having to do with secularism, liberalism and all those kind of buzz words. it's also clear that russia

yes people like don black or david duke. so do all of the activist on campus.and people who have been wounded by those people in those positions. hopefully, we are not choosing one perspective. we also don't have to make the binary choice of just telling one story. it's really the gift of the book. >> they might actually be interested in the differencere of the washington post article. did you have a different sense of what your obligation was in terms of telling both sides. or was it a different form to you. >> the book is a pretty different form. and i'm sure for both of you too. the wonderful thing about a book. is it has room to breathe. it was pretty much of the transformation story of one person. it was a story and many people through that same merit it -- narrative. it makes it much more honest because the more nuance in complication you can bring to stories. it still never gonna be there. but the closer it gets. in april you b have the characters that you write about. those are your cell. what were those like as a journalist. >> in writing the book is b

of conservatives getting together and all of a sudden the security for the group was like some david duke you guys would be rightly saying what are you doing? why are you having them do the security? i don't think we would get away, and, with saying they are doing security. we don't ask their political views. >> you don't have to hypothesize it, there's this group the proud boys. they have defended me all over america and by the way, they are quite multiethnic. i don't ask whether religion is. they are attached by being accused of being a group of white men. like i say, that's the only thing that keeps the democratic base together. they keep painting white men. even though the proud boys are not only white men. what are they being attacked for? for defending people like me. >> laura: there's another piece, an article and how will read it. it was there that perez and mallory allegedly first assertee a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people. and even, according to a secondhand source, claimed jews were proven to have been leaders of the american trade." so

he's saying is in line with their policies, with their beliefs, and we see white supremacists like david dukeport donald trump's policies, so you know, all i have to do is point to the people who are the white supremacists to show you that they actually support and believe what he says. >> yeah. i want you to listen to something that president trump said in the run-up to these midterms. take a listen. >> you know, they have a word, it sort of became old-fashioned. it's called a nationalist. and i say, really, we're not supposed to use that word. you know what i am? i'm a nationalist, okay? i'm a nationalist. nationalist. use that word. use that word. >> what did you think when you heard that? >> i mean, it was loud like a bull horn to me. i didn't hear a dog whistle, and what i heard was his call to white nationalists saying that i'm behind you and actually since then, we've seen now four tragedies occur. we've had the pipe bombings, the tragedy in pittsburgh at the synagogue, in louisville -- in kentucky, we saw two african-americans killed by a white supremacist and there are reports today

. >> if you took the words white and black and reverse them, you might think david duke was giving thatah in front of jesse jackson, so he's signaling to whites that he is not a typical liberal. >> i think that bill clinton is like a lot of white politicians. they eat soul food, they party with black women, they play the saxophone, but when it comes to domestic and foreign policy, they make the same decisions that are destructive to african-american people in this country and throughout the world. >> the next president of the united states of america. governor bill clinton. >> clinton is the first democrat to be elected since 1976. he's a governor from a southern state, and he was representing himself as someone who could speak to the african-american community. >> our diversity can be a source of strength in a world that's ever smaller. where everyone counts and everyone is a part of america's family. >> it's a new day in america. >> six women will serve in the new u.s. senate, including the first black woman. >> most women credit anita hill with starting this political movement. they
