that it identity government is the one thing we all belong to were the first words the democratic national convention that's how we look at politics that there is my group and the other group that is demonizing. so you have a very high level how ford millions of americans because they hate republicans so you have this where your partisan affiliation tell about your identity if i asked if you are a republican or democrat have to ask follow-up question defined and if you are a liberal or can serve it if. - - conservative. that politics is becoming a lifestyle and a lifestyle is becoming politicized because there are not better sources of meaning in our life. so with those that is one of the great ironies of the time the partisanship it hasn't been this bad since the 18 fifties because they can handle the politics all of the other institutions are politicized some jackass gets up that sounds like a political speech "the new york times" lobbies the readers of about a tax bill and the opinion shows at night are basically commercials for the rnc msnbc is signaling to democrats in much the same way. these i

to minimize that history of free slave labor recently when michelle obama spoke at the democratic national convention she was criticized for pointing out that his first lady of the united states, she lived in the building built by slave labor. her critic said those slaves were well fed and had decent lodging as of that excuse keeping people in chains were breaking apart families denying he cannot make a opportunity and of course, shoving them away from education. that's incredible. the truth about race in america is just the start of what black people have to lose with trump in the white house that denial of racism that suppresses the black vote here again i come to people who know something about new york team from new york but made a difference, andy goodman these three young men two of them were young white men were shot and killed and buried at the start of the 1964 freedom summit killed by klansmen in the local police in mississippi. in keeping with the denial of racial reality, there is a recording of a white mississippi senator jim eastland telling president johnson of the triple murder was a

also remember just one other point there, donald trump repeatedly urging on the day the democratic national convention 2016, urging the russians to find hillary's missing e-mails. there's so much here. i do not know, and i think i have about the same level of knowledge as donald trump does. as it relates at least to the inner workings of the mueller investigation, which is this may be not at all related, but i will tell you that donald trump's tweet on thursday, kate, speaks to his frustration. his idea that he knows about the inner workings of what's going on with bob mueller i think really is more about frustration, anxiety, nervousness, because the pace of all of this is picking up after six-ish weeks where it lay dorm nlt publicly. so i think donald trump is someone who wants to control his universe, wants to control his surroundings and this is not something he can control. i'm sure his lawyers and yef can speak to this, have told him not to lash out at bob mueller, but he can't help himself. after three days of written questions, answering them, according to our reporting, he on thursday posted

i covered him when he did the speech at the democratic national convention and his rise to prominence. i remember when he had one pair of shoes that he would wear with holes in it and a suit, and i'd see him in the makeup room. i'd say, oh, my gosh, senator obama, state senator, you need to eat. you look really thin. we would say, he needs to get a new suit. i'm just talking. this was just my personal experience. i was a local anchor. i was there anchor. they knew me. i knew who they were. i wasn't close personal friends with them, but i knew a lot of people who were there when the obamas came the obamas that went to the white house, right, and before. i know more about what's happening in this white house and have very little personal knowledge or experience with people who know the trumps than i have with the obamas, and i know way more about what's happening in the trump white house than i ever knew in the entire eight years that the obamas were in office. what does that tell you? >> that there's a lot more to talk about. >> and a lot more leaks. >> the place leaks like a sieve. ag
