and it belongs to everyone. >> professor michael eric dyson is here.a whole range of books, including fittingly the black presidency, obama and the politics of race in america. good to see you, even if not on a great night for america. >> exactly right. >> your views? >> it's devastating. look, this is the demented genius of donald trump. he's playing to his base, but he's also playing to the basis instincts of american political culture. where is the lincolnian appeal to our better nature? these are the worst demons of our souls. and to demonize women of color as not american, is to not only give a redux, but to add sexism to the stew. he gets two for the price of one. he's dissing women, dissing women of color. he's demoralizing an entire community of people who find in them adequate representation for democracy. and to disagree with one's fellow is not a bad thing. to disagree with one's fellow human being is not a bad thing. but to demonize them as unworthy of citizenship is unpatriotism as one might imagine. >> i always learn from you. here is som

let's talk about all of this with sarah isker and michael eric dyson. i love the concentrated version of the debate. all the moments. >> that's it. >> none of the blander parts in between. so this is, though, very important to look at. this is the internal debate that you are seeing. and it is playing out on stage. what do we think about this? >> first of all, i think it's important that democrats show the world that you can have vigorous debate. the republicans are lining up behind a man that is a clear bigot, don't make a distinction between their variety of americanism versus his whereas the democrats are saying, look, there is a war going on. and it's between progressives and moderates and liberals and radicals. and that's a good thing to have, we can show varieties of opinion, alternative viewpoints and at the same time say that the end goal still is not only to beat donald trump but to put forth a vision that is connected to people where they live. and, look, i know they -- i'm from detroit. i was glad to see marianne williamson mention if the fli

michael eric dyson, author of "what truth sounds like" and jennifer granholm.e you both. jennifer, you helped in the last debate. you are not helping in this debate because it's on cnn and you work here. but are you happy with this new posture from biden? >> yeah. here's what i would say on this, chris. i mean, first of all i was with a whole bunch of democrats today and they were saying, please, please don't have democrats attacking one another personally. >> too late. >> attack for sure on policy. great, okay. but if he's punched, he's going to be jabbing joe my guess is. he's going to punch right back. and i think people want to see he's a fighter. but i do think democrats are nervous about democrats tearing one another down because we've got to keep our eye on the prize which is the general election. >> professor, my father used to joke that they only shoot backwards in cowboy movies, that the front-runner should always just look forward. but he got beat up by booker. he got beat up by harris. and democrats keep saying they want a warrior and they feel they

later tonight i'm joined by professor eric michael dyson. why donald trump is bringing that up. a breaking story we'll bring you later in the hour that we just added to a rundown. we begin with what is shaping up to be a human rights crisis at our nation's border. many say in a large measure,

. >>> coming up, michelle goldberg, michael single is republican political consultant, michael eric dyson a professor at georgetown. the republican party, i was saying this to michael before, you may have been hiding for two years now saying you know, i don't really like the way this guy tweets or talks. i don't really like his character even, but i like his tax cuts and i like his deregulation and his rah-rah. here is a clear surgical vote today to say all that, we don't like his behavior, his character. this was about the character, about the language the president's used, and they walked away from it, except for four members, they all went down the line like lemmings. >> that's right. first of all, i'm not sure how many of the republicans who do say that they really condemn trump's behavior actually have a history of being anti-racist, or having any real problem with racism. but more than that, they know their constituents, particularly in the more red districts, it's precisely the racism that makes them so enthusiastic about trump. i think one of the things we've discovered in these l

with michael eric dyson and patrick griffith. patrick, thanks for taking up this case. an easy one. what is your defense of the obvious? >> well, chris, i come here not to defend trump or donald jr. i come here because i think it was a mistake. i think that when you do this kind of thing, and engage in this kind of thing, you take a narrative this week for the president that is on everything but what they should be talking about. the president had a summit meeting, the president went back to see chairman kim, the president got at least a temporary deal with china and he's got democrats fawning all over themselves, as you pointed out in your previous segment, about who can be most socially to the left. this is not the kind of message and race is the last place we should be going. >> why is he playing with it? >> i don't like it and i'm not defending it. why is he defending it? >> you say you won't defend it, but you do defend it by saying i think it was an accident. you don't retweet by accident. you don't ask a question about the thing that you're retweeting by accident

i want to bring in professor and author michael eric dyson, we have gloria borger and rachel bade. michael, first to you. what do you think of what you have been witnessing really since yesterday with the tweets and now the president not really defending himself so much as standing by what he said. he said people agree with him. >> right. well, he's a demented political genius, let's give it to him. he plays to his base and the base's instincts. the xenophobia, the racism, the misogyny of collecting these women together to knock them down, like a kind of political pinata, beating at them. it's ridiculous. what's even more ridiculous is that we don't hear an outcry from other republicans who know better, who have more humane sensibilities. who understand that, look, it is a contact sport to be involved in politics, and the president plays them with ultimate panache and hurtful vigor. but end of the day we are all americans. to demonize them the way he did barack obama, the way he called into question kamala harris, the way he's calling into question the citizenship of these people. w

i appreciate your points of view, but i have to quickly get your thoughts on what msnbc guest michael eric dyson said. >> why don't we wear a swastika for july 4? that makes a difference. the cross burning on some one's lawn, have a nike, you know, celebration of the cross. well, because those symbols are symbols of hate. so we can take p.c. culture back. this flag has been used by people who want to pummel african-americans, latinos, jews. why not pick a flag that's representative of everybody. >> tammy: that goes a bit far, it literally equating the american flag with a swastika. but we have to ask what flag then would be better suited to be representative of americans. is there some other idea or would you agree with mr. dyson or does that go too far? >> i respect the american flag and i think the flag that we have now is fine. not the one that goes back to colonial days when blacks were in chains and slaves and treated as three-fifths human beings. >> tammy: thank you very much, appreciate it, horace thank you for joining us as well. sorry, short on time. coming up code pink was going

michael, eric, would destroy me on this any night, but this is my feeling, some of his supporters, caughtof beliefs. and the majority of the president's supporters don't care about what he says and does. that's why it doesn't stick to him because we've reached a point of disaffection that there's a complicity in saying i'm getting the judges, i've got my tax cut, he says ugly things, he does ugly things, i expect nothing better from any politician, that's a tough spot for us to be in. that's why i say no open insults on each other, attack the arguments. i've got to jump, professor. michael, you're very smart. -- >> pick your pockets. poor white people will do it for you if you convince them they're better than the lowest black man. >> it should stop because we're better than that. patrick, thank you for making the arguments. >> thank you, chris. >> i don't want to say it on this show, why, you get enough of it. we'll get into it. we'll get hot when i'm one on one with somebody. i think the testing is helpful. but you got -- we can't be insulting each other. you got to think about your ide

. >>> joining us now, georgetown professor michael eric dyson, what truth sounds like.my are back with us. stephanie touched on this a little bit, but can you explain high this particular flag there are symbol, is so offensive to some? >> it hails from the revolutionary period of this nation's founding which was deeply embroiled in, you know, enslavement, of the owners of slaves, george washington, thomas jefferson and the like. but also it's the recent use of this flag that has been the worst thing. white supremacists have used it as a rallying cry for their own calls. none of these flags are set in stone. it's the moral ecology of the time. right now this flag has been used by people who want to pummel african americans, latinos, jews and other people. 0 so why not choose a flag that is representative of everybody? the diversity of identities, ideologies, people of color and mainstream people who exist in this country? that's the kind of blowback against the use of this particular flag. >> what can you make of it who say why let those white supremacists groups win? wh

which sort of reminds me of the day michael cohen testified in congress and he brought before patton, african-american trump family friend, former wedding planner for eric trump to testify donald trump is not a racist. we may see a similar thing play out in the oval office. >> pretty remarkable. annie, maryland's republican governor larry hogan reached out to media. we should point out hogan did consider running against donald trump in a republican primary. he called the president's comments outrageous and inappropriate. obviously as the governor of maryland he's standing up for his state. other republicans, though, have tried to make distinctions between tweets about elijah cummings and the earlier tweets about the squad, many seeming to tie themselves in knots trying to defend this. what does the next year plus look like for other republicans running for re-election if this the president's strategy? >> well, so far we've seen that breaking with the president and krilt sighsing him has not proved to be politically profitable for any republicans, which is why we see so little of it. and trying to stick with and defend him. they are scared support for tr
