that's not this klan. maybe we can talk about the relationship of the first explain the second klan and how they differ and how they evolved and why one was furtive and one almost fetishized visibility. >> sure. happy to do that. before i answer, just want to say, first of all, if a been in my life of research in many historical societies and this one is by far the most lively. and -- >> that's saying a lot. >> i want to apologize for being late. this is way -- i'm not a new yorker and so i get lost. the second klan actually acclaimed to be continuing the first klan, but it was different in a series of major ways. first of all, it was not secret. second of all, it was a mass movement having somewhere between 3 million and 5 million members. third, it had women. fourth, it was in the main nonviolent, and, fifth, its basic strategy was electoral -- i'll talk about that late are -- finally, perhaps the most important thing, it expanded what you might call the hate list. the first klan was entirely focused on

and when the anti-klan -- so the pro-klan side won, right? when the anti-klan plank lost by that one vote, 20,000 masked hooded klansmen rallied across the hudson river in new jersey to mark the moment. they didn't think they would be able to rally in new york, not with their robes and mask. they crossed over to new jersey and showed force, 20,000 of them. they had an effigy of new york governor al smith and they beat it up and tore it apart. but then the convention had to move on to picking its nominee, right? you got to pick the klan candidate, the candidate that was clearly favored by the klan and wouldn't denounce them or say a word against them at a convention that couldn't approve an anti-klan plank or are you going to pick the catholic guy, al smith. if that's the split in your party, how do you bridge that kind of split? for the democratic party that year in 1924 they couldn't bridge it. they started balloting, they started taking votes on who the delegates wanted to be their nominee and honestly they couldn't get there and they could

. >> at the time of extreme prejudice in the 1920's and 1930's -- for instance, the ku klux klan is in kansas city for a convention. 10,000 hooded klansman did a parade down grand avenue. while at the convention, one of the chants was "goodbye tom, goodbye joe, your crooked gang has got to go." they were referring to tom and joe, who was on the competitive democratic scene locally. one of the reasons the ku klux klan targeted tmom pendergast, african-americans as voters first and foremost. he helped any group that needed it, as long as they were registered to vote. i think that is another sign of the pendergast machine. it maybe wasn't replicated in other cities. he reached out and worked with all communities, black and whit e, on election day, because everybody's vote was the same. >> eventually in the late 30's, 1938, he got involved in an insurance kickback scheme. clearheme, it is not whether he broke the law with the scheme itself. i am not a lawyer, so i can explain that. where he ran into trouble is that he did not report the income to the irs for income tax on his tax returns.

attorney in alabama, he pursued charges against two more klan members involved in the bombing, won their conviction, and delivered a long delayed but mighty righteous justice. doug jones deserved to win that race last night. he's a fine man, was an excellent candidate, and is going to make an outstanding senator for the people of alabama. i congratulate senator-elect jones and look forward to welcoming him to this chamber and our caucus. two additional points in regard to the election that has a link to the chamber here. first, the election of a democrat in such a conservative state that hadn't elected a democrat since 199 -- that hadn't had a democratic senator since 1996 elected one in 1990, i guess, is a clarion call for bipartisanship. the american people are clamoring for us to work together, to -- and once again conduct our politics with civility, decency, and an eye to compromise. that's what doug jones represented as a candidate. it's what he campaigned on, and his election should signal to all my republican colleagues that the american people from the deepest red states to the d

whenever the north intervenes with troops as against the ku klux klan in south carolina, the klan cane destroyed. but very often there is going to be no use of that kind of force. >> thank you very much. great presentation. i wanted to ask about reparations. the republican-dominated congress and the republican senate and a republican president signed the reparations of 40 acres and a mule and education for the enslaved african-americans. they were never given this because i think of the assassination of the president and then the new administration came in. what is your take on why this didn't happen, and would you go a little further and tell me what you think would have taken place had it happened? >> okay. there is going to be an attempt at reparations. it's largely during the civil war, and it's largely war time -- it's not -- congress will authorize it, but it's going to be that they will take land from southerners who have submitted treason against the united states, largely big plantation owners, and it'll be divided up among black slaves who had been slaves. it gets real compl

but the klan was not the only element of terror. it was a broadly societal effort that is epitomized by the klan. the klna was65, established to enforce new kinds of laws, and the creation of a new type of white supremacy. african-american society was attacked on all levels, not simply physical violence but psychologically and intellectually and by the denial of all of their rights. but african-americans responded to that in a way that created their own society and allow them to express their own vision for the future. hoodhite hooded became -- became the symbol of the ku klux klan and was widely seen as protecting the identity of individuals, although in most communities, everyone knew who was underneath the hood. it was not just the terror of the demised by the klan and the lynching. more than 4000 individuals will illegally -- were illegally murdered with no consequences on the perpetrators on the 1880's into the 1940's. it was a constant process of terror, of intimidation. the other part however was not so physical. it have to d

the ku klux klan once had 11 senators and 75 congressmen. the actual white supremacist were members of congress. there's some black supremacist in congress, tell you that. same thing with nazis and neo-nazis. their hitler youth is what they are. literally. but hearing an organization that wants to exterminate the jews in so many words which i read more statements and you need to know the extermination of jews is their agenda. i could go on and on about it but this is the greatest problem are country faces. everybody is a progressive and seeing everything in racial gender terms. i lied about it. who really care paid on the idea that women are somehow oppressed in this country to the extent there is a gender wage gap. women actually 24 cents less on the dollar than men for the same work in the same experience in job. that's a big lie. and hillary knows it's a lie because she was around when a male dominated congress in 1963 pass the equal pay for equal work act making it illegal to pay women less than men. as i said many times, you can show in

toed klu klux klan and neo-nazis, the total fascists that are rearing their head now. the issue with the trans gender is exactly the same. i've recently served on a pentagon committee and had a lot of contact with generals. all who say nobody in my troops care whether there is a transgender member. one of them told me one of his best soldiers was a transgender soldier. they don't care. so this is an unnecessary step. i watched as general consult of the army, integration of women, greeted with as much enthusiasm that time as possibly he is now feeling about integrated transgenders. >> good point. >> it went splendidly. the women performed admirably and have now risen to very high rank. we now have a number of four star, three star, two star generals who happen to have been women. and the same will happen with transgenders if we allow it to happen and we should. >> john, there's a question here about the institutions holding and rule of law and i think that's both when we talk about the pardon, the russia investigation and firing of james comey and with mike pompeo, the

and then they started to appeal to the right-wing, the ku klux klan and the breitbart weirdos. that's why we have the fbi. that's why we have people like robert mueller, the cia. and they're going to be doing their job, and members of congress better understand they've got to back off and let our fbi, our cia find out what's been going on so this never happens again. >> richard painter, good to see you again. a former ethics lawyer for president george bush. >>> coming up president trump has denied or down-played russian hacking at every opportunity. but the problem didn't begin with with president trump. one of our next guests says we should expect more and right now the russians are winning when "the 11th hour" continues. >>> if putin likes donald trump, i consider that an asset not a liability because we have a horrible relationship with russia. if putin likes donald trump, guess what, folks? that's called an asset not a liability. now, i don't know that i'm going to get along with vladimir putin. i hope i do. yesterday i received a call from president putin of russia thanki

attorney in the 1990s and he was trying a case in which two members of the ku klux klan were convicted for blowing up the baptist church in 1963 that left four young black girls dead. and on top of that, there is a wide perception among african-american voters and i've heard this all across the state that roy moore is some say a white supremacist, some say a racist. they point to the that canfact doesn't believe president obama was born in america. that keith ellison shouldn't serve in congress. and you heard the reference to the last time america was great during the era slavery. so on doug jones is hoping that this will galvanize the african-american community to come out and vote for him. but just to give you a sense of how difficult that will be, the turnout that he needs is essentially on par with the turnout barack obama got in the 2012 presidential race. and that as we discovered will be a tall order. alton smith and laura onlily veve oliver are volunteers going door to door for doug joechnes. at the first house, she plans to vote for jones. if jones is to stand a chance of winn

the ku klux klan is not a protected class. the public accommodations does not say you cannot discriminate >> this wholef concept of identities. you could say i have nothing against gay people that i've nothing against married because it's contrary to my believe spirit it's not their identity is what they are doing. i think the identity is too fast i'll. >> bob jones university said we are not escalating on the basis of race, we allow black people to come into the school, we just admit those who advocate interracial dating. and the court said that is discrimination. even if you treat other simile. analogize it to -- nobody disputed o'brien's burning of the draft card was -- draft cart to protest the vietnam war was expressive. it was core political expression. but what the court did was it didn't say, well, how expressive is it? is it artistry, is it not? is it core, is it not? it said what is the state trying to do here? because it's expressive conduct. and if the state's seeking to regulate conduct, then the fact that it has

i was like, i don't know, maybe i shou go talk to the ku klux klan.ctly -- hmm. then it got quiet for a long time. but i could tell it was that kind of quiet where this was like that might be good for ratings. but kamau might die. but that might be really good for ratings.

ku klux klan, they call themselves, alt-right, hang around breitbart news.hing to do with traditional val use the republican party. plays right into the hand of foreign adversaries, such as vladamir putin. our cia, our fbi, are not deep statement. they're there to protect the united states of america. against foreign agrechlgts if we undermine our own institutions, our own, security services, intelligence services, we are going to be -- very vulnerable to another attack. from foreign adversary, russia or other adversaries. this is absolute leap nothing to do with being a patriotic american and defending our country. this is complete rubbish. i think the voters are going to make that clear in 2018. and every republican who wants to keep their seat in the house and senate, is going to have to stand up against this. or they're going to be gone. >> interesting to me. there aren't a whole lot of people around who remember 1918. they may have, read their history about it. but there are a lot of republicans of a certainage who remember the cold war, very clearly. i

the ku klux klan as an organization is not a protected class. so, yes, the lb -- the public accommodations law does not say you must treat everybody, it says you cannot discriminate on the basis of protected categories. justice kennedy: well, but this whole concept of identity is a slightly -- suppose he says: look, i have nothing against -- against gay people. he says but i just don't think they should have a marriage because that's contrary to my beliefs. it's not -- mr. cole: yeah. justice kennedy: it's not their identity, it's what they're doing. mr. cole: yeah. justice kennedy: i think it's -- your identity thing is just too facile. mr. cole: well, justice kennedy, this court faced that question in bob jones university. bob jones university said we're not discriminating on the basis of race, we allow black people to come into the school. we just refuse to admit those who are engaged in interracial marriages or advocate interracial dating. and this court said that's race discrimination. that's identity-based discrimination, even if you treat

klan murderers were hiding in plain sight for nearly four decades, but doug jones finally got justice for those four little girls. and the best respond to all of this may be the words of the reverend dr. martin luther king jr., just three days after the church bombing, dr. king spoke to thousands of mourners at the funeral of three of the girls, saying this -- this tragic day may cause the whiteside to come to terms with its conscience. inspite of the darkness of this hour, we must not become bitter. we must not lose faith in our white brothers. life is hard, at times, as hard as crucible steel. but today, you do not walk alone. that said, i want to bring in congresswoman barbara lee of the congressional black caucus. good evening to you. how are you? >> good, glad to be with you, don. >> president trump stumped for roy moore tonight, as we have been showing, despite the sexual assault allegations. i want you to listen, and then we'll talk about it. >> we want roy moore, he's right. we can't afford to have a liberal democrat whole is completely controlled by nancy pelosi and chuck sch

three police officers to every one klan demonstrator or protesters in order to keep the peace. when you look at a city like london, they're going to have massive new year's eve presence, armed police officers, dogs, vehicle barriers. do they do that same ratio, 3:1 or different strategy trying to protect people celebrating the holiday? >> it's not quite the same. it's not really -- you can't make that same comparison necessarily with a small demonstration in terms of layering up the actual police personnel. so it's not that 3:1 ratio. frankly, people will see the presence, and they will see the expanded presence of police, of law enforcement, but they should also understand that that's only about 5 to 10% of what's actually going on. most of the security, most of the layers of security, whether we're talking about personnel involved or the technical resources, those are off the radar screen. people won't see those, and we don't really talk about them because of obviously the nature of it. we don't want to give anything away to the hostiles. adam: looking at chatter in chat room

he prosecuted the ku klux klan and arrested -- convicted those men. >> when the sex misconduct came out, remember, it was late stage. he should have already developed his case against moore by then. it should have been the icing on the cake. in fact -- it's his whole race is the sexual -- >> that's not true. that's not not true. if you look at what doug jones has been running on, yes, he's been referring somewhat to the fact that judge moore is credibly accused of child molestation, but he has been true to his background of law enforcement and the guy who took on the ku klux klan in alabama. >> i think the perception that a lot of folks have that i share is that the democrats really did make a mistake by not making a more affirmative case for doug jones. the exit poll data says 60% of the people were really excited about their candidate. i have a hard time believing most of the people excited about their candidate are voting for doug jones, simply because at least from an outsider's perspective, the entire campaign was about roy moore and what he did wrong, about the sexual assault alle

jefferson was president of the confederate states and the other was a member of the klu klux klan. the city's mayor said history is being made in memphis. >>> our time is 4:17. we're glad to have sal back, it's good to see you, my friend. >> it's good to see you and back to the grind of doing this job. 880 southbound you have a deadly crash, we have a semi, a set of doubles, it flipped over and it was involved in a wreck with another vehicle. southbound 880 and 66, it happened about an hour ago and traffic is going to be affected. you can see a vehicle was involved, we are, we know that one person was critically injured and died at the scene. southbound traffic is going to be affected. as a matter of fact, i have a live look at 880, 880 is not getting through. they're letting people take the off-ramp at 66. you can get right back on the freeway. that's what's happening. teams acting as a funnel to 880 traffic heading south and that will be slow getting to the airport or east oakland. you can see definitely a lot of people are going to be stuck in slow traffic. we have a crew on the

but on the flip side, what if this baker was in new york city and the ku klux klan wanted a cake forng. this is more complicated than it seems. >> reporter: you're right about that. this involves the colorado human rights amendment that says you can't turn down people based on religion, gender, sexual orientation. i'm not sure what the ku kl ku klux klan's protection would be, so i think the answer to that on the side of the couple is there is no personal interest so the baker could turn them down because the law doesn't cover them. you're right, this is a case of what-ifs. simple facts. a couple walks into this bakery in southern denver and said, we want a cake to celebrate our marriage, and the baker said, i'm sorry, but it violates my religious beliefs. they didn't ask for a certain design, he just said, i'm sorry, i can't help you. those are the facts. thas ca this is a case of what-ifs. the lawyer for the baker says this is an artist and therefore this would violate his right of free expression of his religious beliefs. what about the hairstylists, the people who write the weddi

i'll defend klan, anti-muslim bigots right to demonize me in my community because this is america to. i don't like it either. don't leave us. join us on the progress channel where we are trying to help democrats win. vehicles platform for that. >> let me ask you about what you're hearing from management at sirius xm. are they addressing the concerns and what are they saying? >> i'm not a spokesman for the company, just so it's clear, de. they have given me freedom to say what i want. steve bannon was on the air a few years. he left to work on donald trump's plan and now he's back. >> how null do you think he is on the radio? >> it's hard to say. i think he's got that rabid core base, rancid red meat to, and they love it. we actually share the same studio at sirius xm. he's there in the morning. i can tell when he's there because it smells like sulfur. it's surreal to be in the same studio, same chair. >> is there any evidence he has a significant audience? >> we don't know metrics of audience. they don't give us those numbers. obviously statistics show breitbart.com has hit records ov

the figures of confederate president, jefferson davis and theluklu klux klan member will e removed. >>>. a dog found in the nation's capital. >> that was the moment that the turner family got their beloved labradoodle biscuit back. hours before a stranger opened the fence and let the dog out. as 7-year-old reagan and her mother were telling the story. biscuit ran into the front yard. >> i am glad someone found him and returned him safe will. >> was like, so happy. i heard that bark and knew it was biscuit immediately. >> two strangers saw biscuit wandering several blocks away and read the address on his tag and brought him home. >>> still to come the historic houses of fairmount park are decked out to the holidays and taking visitors back in time. meet the 93-year-old volunteer that helps to preserve the original treasures. >>> authorities are pulling out all of their stops as they prepare to protect the winter olympics in south korea. a mock team propelling down the building and a mock bomb falling out of the sky. and with north korea just miles from the games. the start is just less
