grant directed his attorney general to prosecute the kkk.kk history doesn't come back until 1920 because of what grant did. i would say this as a jewish american, grant signed order 11 which was anti-semitic and realizes what he did was wrong and appoints a number of jews to his administration and was the first president to visit a synagogue. i think we should take a step back in this process. you can't white wash history and you can't white it out. grant is a president who had his faults. he was human, but he accomplished a great deal to get america right. in the same way i think roosevelt is one of the greatest presidents, he interred the japanese, he didn't allow the st. louis ship in 1938 to come to the shores of the united states. on the other hand he agrieved great things. in toppling that statue -- i understand the desire and i don't want to throw it it with the civil war honoring confederate soldiers. that's a mistake and it's wrong. he made mistakes. on the other hand, you learn from that and he learned from it and became a better p

eulogies to the funerals of three leading supporters of segregation, including a former member of the kkk. yet bind is now smearing as racist, tens of millions of people like yourself, decent hard working americans who he has never met and he doesn't want to meet. america should not take electrit take lectures on racial justice from sleepy joe. he shipped millions of black american jobs overseas, and every one else's jobs too. we are building plants and there has never been a comeback like we are making right now. he hollowed out our middle class, including our black middle class with open borders. trapped young children in failing government schools. those cages were built by obama and biden. look it up. 2014. and the fake news -- remember the picture of a came for children. remember the picture of the came? they said president trump. then they realized that was in a newspaper 2014 builtly obam buiy obama and biden. the cages. they don't want to report the way it is. they know the way it is. they are not stupid. they sent young boys to fight in iraq while the inner cities crumbled. and m

. >> taunting me coming outside, with firework torches in their hand, what used to happen when the kkk would show up to black people's houses, to burn their houses down. don't come for me. one. >> reporter: she called the groups who continued to rampage through the city, outside agitators. speaking with a group of latino community leaders, she urged people to stop vandalizing businesses that are already hurting because of the covid-19 lockdown. >> roberto hernandez says he understands the protests. >> this anger has been building up. >> reporter: but he says the community leaders are prepared to defend the local business owners from vandals. some new information, we just got word from the san francisco po80 people so far, for violating the curfew and for looting. reporting live in san francisco, sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. >> thank you very much. >>> one more look at the cur cue. danville joined the list. from 10:00 to 5:00 tomorrow morning. the curfew in san francisco, 8:00 to 5:00 a.m. san jose, 8:30 to 5:00 a.m. for the next seven days. santa clara, 8:30 until 5:00 a.m. that

all the lovely word said about the former klansman, grand hub hubei, robert kkk byrd, monuments to democrats and all the other -- lots of other examples and we watch the media. you know tv ratings and you also no law enforcement. a tv show doesn't last 32 years on the air like cops unless people are watching in high numbers. life pd, one of the highest rated shows on cable. we actually get to learn a lot by watching how dangerous this job is but also i would argue it keeps everybody honest. i've been an advocate of this for years. >> this cancel culture, you understand it's cannibalistic. life pd, he is a leftist. i don't have any problem with that. and that's not the point. >> the websites, i don't want them canceled. that's part of being on television. i'm fair game like anyone else, and have your way. the irony right now is a leftist who has websites that attack us, who is the one defending dan abrams and his show? us. not the leftists. >> sean: you know who defended bill maher? bill maher. bill maher hates me. i defend bellmawr all the time. i don't like anything he says. what a lot of p

with the kkk act in the civil rights act of 1875, in 1868 the 14th amendment was ratified by the statehat abolishes not only but it guarantees due process to all citizens, especially freed african slaves. 1870 the 15th amendment guarantees the right to vote for all citizens. now the implementation of this became problematic because of the democrat party and elements not just in the south from the north but they didn't believe in reconstruction after the assassination. i was after the assassination of abraham lincoln and after ulysses s grant left office. there's been many efforts since then including by our courts, our national legislatures in our state legislature, in 1954 the brown versus board of education 9 - 0, reversing parts of plexi versus ferguson, then they end segregation in transportation. in 1964 civil rights act passed by the overwhelming majority of the republicans in the house and senate majorities of the democrats, prohibits discrimination in voting, public accommodation, public facility, public education, federal assistance programs and employment and establish the ee

there are times that spell america with the kkk, yelling in the faces of police officers or national guardsmen. remember they learn this behavior from either their radical parents for their progressive teachers, or maybe activist celebrities. all validated along the way by a fawning press court. what we are witnessing is a relentless propaganda war against the old teachings about america. it's an effort to smear our history and our patriotic spirit. for decades, conservatives from villa/lashley warned about the poisonous effects of the cultural monopoly, but they were largely ignored. after the death of true liberals like christopher hitchens, i'm hard-pressed to name any prominent liberal who would openly oppose today's cancel culture. this was hitchens in 2006. >> it's not just the rise of the person who speaks to be heard it, it is the rise of everyone in the audience to listen and to hear. every time you silenced somebody, you make yourself prisoner of your inaction because you deny yourself the right to hear something. >> laura: we miss him. a few decades back, many republicans

his father belonged to the kkk.hat i don't understand is that the government moves swiftly -- host: i don't think there is any evidence that donald's father belonged to the kkk. caller: you research it and you will find it. they have pictures of him at a rally at madison square garden. host: taking your point further, how do you heal america's racial divide. that is ever question for you this morning. caller: one guy just ran on. i just want to say one thing. we as people, as a black woman, we are tired. whenever there is any type of black movement, the government -- we had the black anthers. but -- panthers. they either killed them, sent them to prison and the government shacked them down -- shut them down. why is it that the kkk has been rummaging through this country for decades. something is wrong. as far as the church burning, believe you me, it was one of trump's supporters because they are known for burning churches, houses of worship. host: that is penny in new york. political news this morning about the rep

you care about [ bleep ] getting burned down but what about when the kkk burned our [ bleep ] down. where were y'all then? where were y'all complaining then? >> you can hear the passion in her voice. >> we stand for the people who can't speak for themselves. we stand for the ones who have been knocked down, the ones who can't stand up no more. we stand for peace. we stand for equality. we stand for unity. we stand for love. no justice! no justice! >> shortly after we spoke to that woman, police did move in, stopped those marchers and took some into custody. kyung lah cnn, long beach, california. >> emotional stuff. we're going to talk a break. extremist groups on both sides are stoking protests and violence. not everyone agrees. when we come back, we'll find out who president trump is blaming for the unrest. we'll be right back. you've be. like people... and pants. but don't avoid taking care of your eyes, because we're here to safely serve you with new procedures that exceed cdc guidelines and value your time. visionworks. see the difference. don't bring that mess around here, evan
