it was a delegate to the democratic national convention founded the clan. the republicans shut down thed klan. president woodrow wilson revived the klan.w wilsoned the clan was a extension of democratic party. hey, they endorsed trump because they don't have a job and he wants to make america great again, no. klan has actual history and the history is closely connectedwa with the history of the democratic party. i guess i will leave it at that. >> host: up with section from your book, you write the facism card is used to intimidate conservatives and republicans with being feared. naziism is ultimate form of hate, association with it, the ultimate hate crime. in this book i turn the tables on the democratic left show they, not trump are the real fascists. they use nazi bullying and intimidation tactics to subscribe to full-blown fascist ideology. calling somebody is the ultimate hate crime.ngng do you fear are then doing exactly what you condemn democrats for, saying they are the ones who are the nazis, the fascists. >> guest: this is very fair question. i se

. >> the head of the democratic national convention committee, rather, is calling on republicans to disavowsident trump, citing how white supremacists see him as their leader and fiercest defender. ann marie. >> seth, thank you so much. >>> as we reported, the president's response to the violence in charlottesville cost him the support of some of america's top business leaders. the president announced he was ending two business advisory councils. there have been numerous resignations following his comments. one group had already told the white house it had had resolved to disband and condemned mr. trump's comments. jpmorgan adjacent ceo jamie dimon said in a statement, fanningdy veesiveness is not the answer. it is a leader's role in business or government to bring people together, not tear them apart. the events in charlottesville have raised the national debate over what to do with federal monuments. in richmond, virginia, the former capital of the confederacy, the city will examine the removal or relocation o monuments. confederate monuments have already come down the in cities from balt

was that this was just three days or two days actually before the the democratic national convention began and so they scurried as how would you know how are you going to explain this and my god what's bernie going to do when you find that you know and they decide that well well well prepared we could say the russians did it all we need is the complete cooperation by the so-called mainstream media and if we can do that we can have a magnificent remember that magnificent obsession list would be a magnificent distraction it worked no one paid any attention to what was in the. one tenth of the mail is always why you rush to this ranch with a sack of warsi so you know what's flowed out of that is very mischievous i mean right now we have the person united states. all he has to do is ask you cia director to find the people who work for john brennan in this special cyber unit that he created and ask oh ok exactly exactly it's that simple what the of a big how were you said that this data that you're at the data that was analyzed how did you have access to it is this something that's just a

in a fancy hairdo in a fancy dress and diamond earrings and she took the stage at the democratic national convention last year where she decided to tell bernie sanders supporters that they were being ridiculous by standing by their candidate and not just getting blindly behind hillary clinton this woman who got rich and famous for telling jokes told everyone who wasn't supporting hillary that they were being ridiculous as if somehow telling jokes for a living qualifies her to know anything about politics that are so that was last year of this year when gosh wouldn't you know it but the an m is now helping sarah silverman promote her new show on hulu which she swears won't be political you guys you see you c.n.n. has a show called the history of comedy which features people's the in and take those important for some reason and silberman was a part of their latest episode of the news network tweeted about it to promote the show and they featured a clip of silverman talking about how she was a bedwetter this is i guess to show people she's going back to be jokes or something so last year silverman sanc

and the eventual campaign led to the democratic national convention, which took place in los angeles, california. i was working for life magazine but they assigned me to who they thought would be the winner. i was assigned to photograph richard nixon. of course the strategy of getting that nomination was no easy task. one of the life photographers made this iconic image of robert and jfk in a hotel room, kind of deciding who they would offer the vice presidency to. lyndon johnson eventually becomes a running mate to jfk. i have seen this picture published in parts of the world where they are discussing the cuban missile crisis. or they are discussing armament. or this is a hotel where they are meeting with khrushchev. it wasn't long before he secured that nomination and really had to go out on the road to -- out on the road to prove himself. in california he is up there with governor pat brown. here he is preparing some notes for a democratic rally. the wonderful thing about the kennedys as they never push photographers or writers away. they didn't care how they were photographed. the

a delegate of the democratic national convention who founded the claim. he republican checked on the clan. president woodrow wilson revise the clan and it was an extension of democratic violence and terrorism. so now when you look at right take ice and say they endorse trump because the don't have a job and he wants to make america great again, no. he has actually history is closely connected with the history of the democratic party. i will leave it at that. >> you write the fashion in part is used to intimidate conservatives and republicans for fear of being branded in spirit. nazism is the ultimate form of hate the ultimate hate crime. the tables hot democratic and show that they, not trump are the real fascists. they subscribe to full-blown fascist ideology. he said : someone that is ultimate hate crime. do you fear your than doing exactly what you condemn democrats for? say they're the ones? >> guest: i'm turning the tables but not -- cannot use nazism and fascism as a rhetorical javelin. usually those hues that have no idea what it means for their ref

[inaudible] now will look at ragtag guys and said they endorsed trump because they don't have a job. and he wants to make america great again. no, the clan has mac shall history. the history is closely connected to the history of the democratic party. i will leave it at that. >> one section from your book, you write the fascism card is used to intimidate conservatives and republicans for fear of it being branded. nancy is some is the ultimate form of hate and the ultimate hate crime. in this book i turn the tables and show that they, not chop by the real fascists. they use intimidation tactics to subscribe to a full blown fascist ideology. you said calling some of that is the ultimate hate crime. do you fear that you are then doing what you condemned democrats were? say they are the ones? >> i seem to be turning the tables. and i am, but not -- i don't use nazism and fascism as rhetorical javelins. most people use the term have no idea what it means or they're refe

they point out that for major events like the democratic national convention the city uses trash trucks to block roadways and concrete barriers were installed during the nfl draft on the parkway and reinforce posts called ballards help to protect the liberty bell and independence hall. >> those types of things that are more common in europe quite frankly could be introduced at a greater rate in philadelphia and the u.s. overall. >> philadelphia police are about to hold a news conference about this very issue and the terror attack in spain. in a statement they released earlier today. they said that the police are working with local, state and federal partners to ensure the safety of every citizen. channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. >>> be sure to visit 6abc.com for the latest on the terrorist attack and the response in barcelona. we'll have the latest on the investigation as well as the international response to today's attack. meantime. president trump is dealing with the fallout from his comments on charlottesville, virginia and now take can aim at members of his own party that cri

delegate to the democratic national convention in denver in 2008. electeday, i was an delegate from the sixth congressional district of philadelphia. obama won philadelphia, but lost pennsylvania. of hiss the state popularity in the city of philadelphia. but i was very disappointed that president obama never found his courage,mmoned his used his political capital to directly address racial inequality in american economic life. he did not pursue the kinds of policies through the federal avernment that might have had direct impact in improving the economic position of african-americans and latinos. i have concentrated on policies that would change these conditions and improved economic status. economists often obfuscate the issue. let's take the question of the minimum wage. there has long been a proposal to reduce property by increasing the minimum wage. if you look at the evidence, you increasingde that the minimum wage is not a very effective policy for reducing poverty. in contrast, increasing the value and expanding the eligibility for the earned

started in july with the wikileaks dump timed perfectly to coincide with the start of the democratic national convention. now we know who was in the meeting and we know what we know about that timing. so here's my question. now that we know more about who was in the room with the trump campaign, in that interim period between when the democratic party was hacked and when the russians started turning the product of that hack back at the u.s. election and the u.s. immediate to help trump and hurt clinton, now that we know that a russia born d.c. fixer who apparently specialize nd that kind of work was meeting with the upper esh lawns of the trump campaign right then, how can we tell if there's a connection, is there a connection between the operative being at the meeting with that specific expertise under his belt, is there a connection between that and the russian attack on the dnc and the clinton campaign and how the documents hacked out of the clinton campaign got repurposed to hurt hillary clinton. does rinat akhmetshin's proximity to these previous occasion map with what happened to the dnc last year

there was a story with debbie wasserman schultz because he got fired on the eve of the democratic national conventionulia mesons over the last ten years has brought to life. how impenetrable our secure systems and government were, how much surveillance was going on out of americans that no one knew about. the entire democratic national committee story line where it looked like the party was trying to hamper the election opportunities of bernie sanders. those are three story lines are not in question. people recognize that wikileaks had a contribution to that. i made a couple calls in the intelligence community, i had one interesting response. we said all along our stomach were confident russia did some hack in the election. i think that's a first time i talk to someone in intelligence if there might be some room. >> sean: it's interesting with chelsea manning now, you factor that into this equation. i've been to the ecuadorian embassy, he believes in his principles. you and sarah carter were at the forefront of investigating this, thank god for intelligence as we saw in barcelona earlier today agains

at the 2008 democratic national convention in denver there was a housing shortage and it was a big deal and base all their moment and ended up getting a lot of press with 800 listings and then they flatlined again. so then they had this idea where they did a marketing gimmick. they thought the press was like that and they were right the press ate it up and ended up making 30,000. that didn't turn the company around. the mother called him at one point and said i don't get it, are you a cereal company and he didn't know how to answer that and that was the most depressing day because it were making a lot more money on the cereal than on the business. it is an accelerator program in silicon valley. so they said you have to go. they happened to mention they sold off the serial they could probably sleep in other people's air mattresses but then it was the advice which was go to your users. they literally sat with a van hours on end and watch them use their product didn't realize they didn't know how to post photos very well. they didn't know how to write listings in a way that made them appea

for example, 1956, the democratic national convention which established his son as a national figure, he called him an idiot. he says you're going to destroy your career if you try to get on this doomed ticket with adlai stevenson. they had a sworay in palm beach and the old guy got up and ranted and said don't dare go into west virginia. they're protestants there, they'll destroy you. and what's very funny, as soon as he finished, jack kennedy stood up, and there were other advisers, and he said, well, we've heard from the ambassador and this is what we're going to do, which is exactly the opposite of what the ambassador had just been ranting about. tom, i can't remember really any time -- >> i'd even urge caution with regard to wisconsin. kennedy's first trip, governor, into wisconsin which cost a few hundred dollars probably, was in the winter of '57, '58. by the time hubert humphrey had his very first meeting to discuss a possible presidential candidacy in the late summer of 1959, kennedy had already made more than three dozen stops in wisconsin, hadn't spent a nick el on advertis

when she was testifying before the 1964 democratic national convention, she was a -- representing the mississippi freedom democratic party and giving the evidence of racial discrimination on the part of the white democratic party in mississippi and she was one of the great activists in the struggle against the poll tax and literacy test and those -- those two ways of barring people from the polls were overcome. in 19 -- oh, shoot -- 1964, the amendment to the constitution was ratified by three quarters of the states and that it was an antipoll tax amendment so it made poll taxes unconstitutional in the united states, no longer could you ask -- could you require a tax for someone to vote and then of course the voting rights act of 1965 outlawed literacy test for voting and since federal registrars into the south to register voters in the south and the numbers of african-americans who were registered to vote sky rocketed within months of the passage of the voting rights act of 1965 which was also an enormous help to native american voters as well. all right. in addition, in the -- we're

was trouble in the trouble with it had been leaked into the media at the time of the democratic national conventionted by the democratic party be the next president of the united states and it was disclosed at the time i had impaneled a grand jury in the district of columbia but that was the leak so we spent the next frantic few days after that trying to figure out where the leak came from. i didn't leak it. i was snuck into the courthouse in dc to avoid just that sort of media disclosure about the existence of grand jury and keep that secret. dagen: did you say hope it was? >> one of the judges on the 3 the judge panel, special division. maria: he was the leader. >> leaked it, david, the presiding judge who sits on the court of appeals on the dc circuit. issued an ultimatum, you will disclose you were the leaker, otherwise i will. it was a terrible few days, everyone from dan rather down complaining that robert ray, the independent counsel in the whitewater investigation leaked to the media to affect political process and our gore's big night until it was revealed not the source of the leak. >> wh

anyway, as i was sitting in my car, i had d the bad luck to l listen toto the democratic national convention speeches, which were an exercise inin b.s.--to be as polite as i can about this. there's not only no systememic critique, there''s no alternative. the solutionss offered are momore of f what they'veve done. they're pretending that it's bebeen wonderfully successful bbecause they're the inin president just like the other guys had to claim it was a big didisaster.. first of all, the president politics in this country is a very peculiar institution. let me close with that because it's really important. the united states is unique in the world, i think, for the following. we have been the most successful in convincing the american people of something that's patently absurd, and that is that when they have an economic problem it's the fault of the government. it's stunning. 95% of the people who've losost ther job in this crisis--and ththere are millions of them--werere fifired by a private capitalist empployer. iff you're gonnaetet angry at somebody because of unemployment, the logigical

i keep coming back to it at the democratic national convention.ident of the united states, along with ed rendell said we have to have a unifying message. we're going to lose pennsylvania. we're going -- and they said. >> they knew. >> they said we're not going to win our base. we're not going to pull out the union members that we need to pull out to win this thing unless we get a better more unifying message, and guess what. rendell. who would have known? to pennsylvania guys. >> i would point out it's sort of hard to say with one hand that the democrats need to be more centrist and at the same time cite last year's election. the most energy and fundraising that happened last year was through bernie sanders and a hard left position on a lot of different things including health care. >> which will win primaries for you all the time. >> right. but i think one of the things -- >> and lose general elections. >> there is an overlap between the racial demographics of the united states and the partisan demographics in the united states. and in a moment w

strategist, susan del percio, and former governor of vermont and former chairman of the democratic national convention, howard dean. good to see you. we have two sets of sneakers. governor dean with a nice pair of vermont new balance kicks. that's not an outing, that's a showering of praise. and halperin with the casual friday and the complete cons. >> a classic con. >> and a cuffed khaki. it's all working for you this morning. a lot to talk about. a senior administration official tells nbc news, president trump is serious about his tuesday night threat of shutting down the government unless the spending bill includes funding for a wall along the mexican border. the president made a similar threat last spring, but relented on a short-term funding bill to avoid a shutdown at the end of his first hundred days. this as the white house repeatedly dodged whether or not the president had abandoned his campaign pledge that mexico would pay for the wall. >> sarah, the president promised over and over again during the campaign that mexico would pay for the wall. so why is he now threatening a government shutdo

in 1992, pennsylvania's governor, robert casey, a democrat dedicated to the working class, asked to speak at the national convention in new york city. he wanted to propose a pro life plant for the party platform mostly as a way of affirming his catholic beliefs. he fully understood that the motion would be voted down. but the democratic party refused to permit him even to air his views. so great was his heresy. in his brief, brilliant forthcoming book, the once and future liberal, it's written that sent a strong signal to working class catholic and evangelical voters that if they did not fall in line on this one issue they were in longer welcome in the party. i wonder if today the democrats are making the same mistake on immigration. to be clear, i think that the bill that the republicans rolled out this week is bad public policy and mean-spirited symbolism. but that's not the issue. this book acknowledges that he is a pro-choice absolutist on abortion but he argues that a national party must build a big tent who accommodates people who dissent from the main party line on a few issues. in his view, there is a large

>> his recommendations were largely ignored, for example in 1956 the democratic convention when we established the son as a national figure. he called him an idiot and he said you're going to destroy your career if you're going to get on this doomed ticket with adelaide stevenson. in west virginia they had a soiree down in palm beach, and the old man got up and rapted and said don't dare go into west virginia and nothing, but protestants there. they'll destroy you andnted and said don't dare go into west virginia and nothing, but protestants there. they'll destroy you and this one, jack kennedy stood up and he said well, we heard from the ambassador and this is what we're going to do which is exactly the opposite of what the ambassador had just been ranting about, so, tom, i can't remember really any time -- i would even urge caution with regard to wisconsin. kennedy's first trip, governor, into wisconsin which cost a few hundred dollars, probably was in the winter of '57 and '58. by the time hume are hubert humphrey had his very first meeting to discuss a possible presidential candidacy in the late summer of 1959,

democrats. that's a question of national security. >> but it's right there in the open. the only thing that was changed in the republican platform during their convention fact that america would not arm ukraine against russia and this was something that was kind of standard in the entire outline of the russian platform and that's the only thing that got changed. and then manafort went away, you know, at the end of the summer but he got that done, maria teresa, and that is something they wanted to see done. >> that's exactly right. but i also think that what he is alluding to is how deeply did they penetrate and cause havoc on our actual electoral systems and if they did, how are we going root them out and that is two different pieces w. un. one is how did we choose not to support ukraine when they needed us but what kind of tampering would they be done that is correct be permanent damage. >> kind of reveals all the layers of this onion about commitment to country or the constitution or religion or anything like that, it's really commitment to the almighty dollar. maria teresa, thanks so much. malcolm, thank you. much more on tropical storm harvey. that
