the klan. to understand this, we have to surrender our image. i trust many of you know something about the earlier, first ku klux klan. it was a secret southern fraternity founded after the civil war that used torture and lynchings to reimpose servitude on african-americans after the end of slavery. this klan was terrorists, in the literal meaning of terrorism, by which i mean when they lynched a black man, they were not just punishing some guy that they had complaints about. they were using that lynching as a mode of intimidating and terrorizing a whole population. now the second klan that i will talk about was different in six ways. it was not at all secret. it was a mass movement with somewhere between 3 million and 6 million members, it included women, it was strongest north of the mason-dixon line, and it was in the main nonviolent. but most importantly, the sixth difference is that while it maintained intense racism directed at african-americans and other people of color, is fused that ra

did the klan have -- how far -thinking was the klan? when they choose political influence, do they have a platform or an idea of how they would further implement their idea of american identity into american politics? dr. gordon:. really good question. the thing about the klan was that its main contribution was rhetorical. revving up levels of this kind of bigotry, and it's lobbying to get people into office. the only specific legislative agenda that they had was, and this happened in every state where there was a klan of any size, they try to get state laws prohibiting catholic schools. this creates a certain kind of oddity. because they were then supporting better funding for public schools and in fact, some klanspeople actually called for a federal department of education. catholic schools only won in one state, oregon. but it had a lot of support. lot of support in a number of ways. first, the notion that these catholic schools were brainwashing the students in them. furthermore, there was the claim who weree were nuns teaching in p

you also see the rise of the ku klux klan, which was in iowa and many other states. the 20's was the largest decade for them. they had workers going through -- states and recruiting they had recruiters going through the states and recruiting people to join the klan. it was in the newspapers here in iowa. it was about a decade. they did hold some power positions in government. it was short-lived. of the people, the population that was moving to these urban centers, included buxton, that i spoke about previously. the coal mining town was in a 927.ined by a 1927 -- by 1 there were recruiters that came from the meatpacking plants in cedar rapids to bring them there. there was an exit is out of that area. cedar rapids was one urban center they came to. those that had grown up in buxton, those that had only new buxton were very at how lifedismayed was like for african-americans to live in these urban centers. they no longer have control over their job. they were given the most base, difficult,ardest, extreme heat and cold type of jobs that white workers did not want to hav

the ku klux klan firebombed their home, set their house on fire. they began firing their guns into the house. damer woke up, grabbed his shotgun, ran to the front of the house and began firing back at the klansmen so his family could escape safely out of the back window. unfortunately, the flames of the fire seared his lungs and he died later that day. a few weeks later in the mail came his voter registration card. he had fought his whole life for the right of african-americans to vote but never been able to cast a ballot himself. by the way, this is what his son said -- he had four sons at the time in the military, and this is what they came home to. in fact vernon damer, six of his , seven sons served a total of 78 years of service for this country. isn't that amazing? heartbreaking photo. -- a bit ofe way, trivia, this photograph was taken by chris mcnair. i don't know if you know who that is, he is the father of denise mcnair, who is one of the four little girls who was killed in the birmingham church bombing. he took this photograph. the guyg

he was not just a lawyer for the klan, he was a leader in the clan. he was actually indicted in the vernon dahmer firebombing at one point. billy roy pitts testified about this planning meeting that took place prior to the attack on vernon dahmer and his family. buckley asked him about it. he said mr. pitts, who all was at that planning meeting? i was there, sam bowers was there, deavours -- you were there. buckley is like, um. objection, your honor? [laughter] i have covered a lot of trials in my life and that was the only time a witness had implicated the defense lawyer. not surprisingly, sam bowers was convicted, august 21, 1998. the thing is, the hate that caused this, if we are really honest in this country, it has never really gone away. it wasn't just a few years ago that a young man walked into this church in charleston and killed these nine beautiful people. it wasn't that long ago either down in charlottesville, right? that we had happened what we had happened. not that far from here, which is easy to think it doesn't happen around here. mys

john: no, this was the ku klux klan. they were not interested in racial justice. they were interested in whites only. a movement had to rise up to oppose that. if there hadn't been a movement of people to oppose that, it's still the world we would live in today so we're very happy. mary: we are happy young people stood up and opposed it. and many adults as well and we were part of speaking up. the ku klux klan had a plan to punish the little children for speaking up for democracy. they planted a bomb in their church on sunday morning. the headquarters was at a -- at the 16th street baptist church. they put a bomb in their church in 1963. i was 10 years old. john was 12. four little girls' bodies were found in the church. cynthia, addie mae, carol, and denise. we were so sad about that. like today, what's driving a lot of young people to speak up. and stand up. it is probably sadness and grief. it was a feeling that the world wasn't the way it could be and that we could do better. in des moines, edna griffin started a a group called the congress of racial equality.

and the interesting thing about memphis is that's kind of where the ku klux klan was founded. as well as blues music, so a lot of things finish. [laughter] happened in memphis. but basically, it is this black man. he was doing very well in real estate, buying up properties during, you know, different events in memphis. but also he was dealing with just an incredible racist backlash. there was a really bad race riot in 1856 in memphis where, you know, dozens of black people were killed, churches were burned, homes were burned. he was actually -- there was an a assassination attempt in the the -- on him. he was shot in the head, survived. he battled all his life with, basically, the klan in memphis. but he continued buying up property. also was very influential in politics eventually. became sort of friends or associates with roosevelt. after that you have jeremiah hamilton here from new york city. he was the first black broker or on wall street. he did battle with the vanderbilts over railroad stocks. he was just really -- and he was a really ruthless, ruthless broker, ruthless

they faced considerable discrimination in the 19th century, even the 1920's with the ku klux klan. smith being on the ticket was one marker that catholics were making it in national life. the fact that he lost was a marker that to run for catholic -- president is a catholic was a disadvantage. he lost pretty significantly in the south. >> they have a dinner in his name every year. what was he like as a person? >> charming. very new york accent. that was controversial in the 1928 campaign, which had the first discussions on radio over american politics. he became a little bit bitter as an old man. he was bitter that franklin roosevelt, rich, sophisticated became perceived as the candidate of the common man and became a leader in the democratic party. in the 30's you see him shift a little bit ideologically. >> how so? >> he is kind of mad at roosevelt. he wants to see less government programs. it works against what he was doing as a pretty liberal democrat governor of new york state. there is a little bit of a sour and i would say to his career in the 30's. what we remember him for

in a frenzy of racism, he heaped praise on a former ku klux klan leader.another post from the same period, he described a jewish man as being handsome, "despite his jewry." he didn't like the man's political views but attributed them to "his possession of several bags of jewish o gold." according to angelo carusone, jewish gold is a problem. media matters are to issue a press release about this, they've done a lot more for ane lot less and yet somehow, this is the remarkable part, chris hayeses managed to pretend that none of this ever happened. he is never mentioned the "jewish gold," he never said a word about the japs or the trannies or the ku klux klan, or even the dirty bangladeshis who deserve what they got no matter tranny whatt the lovers say. he even directed his viewers to carusone's website. >> all of that can be found at media matters website so you can get the full clip simple contex context. >> tucker: amazing, if a guy with a history of ranting about jewish gold came on your show, would you ask him about it? would you challenge them on at? h

. >> reporter: it was 1971, a klu klux klan leader and activist in durham, north carolina, squared off "the best of enemies." i read you said you felt haunted about this story. >> when i read the script, i felt it was fiction. it was too perfect. >> reporter: based on a true story, c. pmplgp. ellis and ann on a committee about to to send students whose school was destroyed by fire. then something no one expected. ellis denounced the klan and the two developed a remarkable friendship, confirmed in a 1996 documentary. >> how in the hell does anybody believe a story like this? >> a lot of people still, you know, don't understand would it how this happened, but it did happen. and we bonded. >> reporter: a bond that lasted for the rests of their lives, more than 30 years. based on a willingness to listen to each other. >> oh, yeah, she's tough. always tough, always tough with love. >> i'm so happy to meet you. >> reporter: atwaters' granddaughter. why was it so important to your family that your grandmother's story be told? >> she of hatred and it's sad t say, but it's something that we nee

>> that guy had a chance to denounce the alt-right, to denounce the klan, to denounce neo-nazis.don't know how you're going to say we should all come together when you demonize people. ( applause ) you say, "mexicans are murderers, rapists, and drug dealers. we have to build a wall." then, what really broke my heart is seeing infants, babies snatched from their mother's arms. how many-- what is the number where children have still been not connected with their parents? and when they put that stuff in place, they had no mechanism to keep track of the families. and for me-- >> stephen: now they've said-- now they've said it's too hard to return them, we don't know how to do it. and they also don't know how many children it is. >> but you have to put something in place so families-- and for me, i thought of slavery right away. families broken apart. so this guy-- ( applause ) >> stephen: i notice you're not saying the president's name. i understand you don't say his name. >> no, i don't say his name. >> stephen: do you have a nickname for him? >> "agent orange." ( laughter and appla

he never said a word about the japs or trannies or the klan. none of that.ad hayes gave cover to carusone's bigotry and anti-semitism. amazingly he directed his viewers to carusone's website. >> angelo carusone, it can be found at media matters website. listen to the full clips. >> tucker: pretty amazing. if a guy with a history of ranting about jewish gold came on your show would you ask him about it? would you challenge him? how would you not. you would feel morally obligated but chris hayes didn't. it tells you a lot. to be clear, we are not calling for either of these people to be imprisoned or executed or even fired from their high-paying jobs. we are not planning to organize an advertiser boycott against them. we won't picket their offices with bullhorns. we want to take the children. but we do think that you should know there actually like. increase hayes' case, it's depressing to find out, it turns out you really never know who people are. joe concha writes about media for the hill and he joins us. if he went on someone's shoulder talk about how some

but on several occasions, including associations with david duke and the ku klux klan, including what you mentioned where someone talked to him during the election about what we're going to do with muslims. remember when john mccain was told that barack obama was a muslim and a bad man? he took the moment to be who john mccain was. donald trump doesn't do this. he doesn't distance himself from what you're talking about. >> that's right. so in that clip where we saw before where trump is basically encouraging his supporters with this question -- he has this question where they say, you know, what are we going to do about all these muslims and trump is nodding along saying, that's right, we need this question. a few questions after that, there was a question about climate change and donald trump shut it down. so he can shut things down when he believes that they're wrong, but he doesn't do that with anti-muslim bigotry. in fact, he stokes it. and beyond that, if somebody had accused me of these things, there wouldn't be a long track record of my statements where the shoe sort of fits, r

it's not a crime for me to member of the ku klux klan or a neo-nazi. violent as ang member that's a crime. but being a member isn't. the reason this whole discussion about why do we prosecute people for domestic terrorism when they've gone to a act, it doesn't really fit -- it's very easy to say of someone's giving money to isa's that they designate -- isis it's a designated organization. but it's difficult to say he's given money to the ku klux klan because that protected speech as far as i understand. that's the way our society is organized and it's why the discussion happens. we are not going to criminalize leftist black nationalist groups or neo-nazi groups, we won't criminalize people for belonging to these groups. with that, are there any other comments? >> just thank you everybody for coming out here. taking time to comment -- come and hear my story. you have always been very supportive of me from the very beginning and you have always been very kind with an open line of communication. thank you very much. >> thank you to our panel. we will give

apparently his interest in protecting the constitution of but what we have on the other side is that the klan of what the violate of the constitution days ago when they said that they will. and you're late to the elections and prolong his office for many other years until a new constitution will be approved so i think this is only another to do when to gain time and to find other solutions. basically doing to make sure that there's peace and to remove lot of leakage but then what happens i know that beautifully had said that he was not going to run for office again but he had delayed elections because he said he wanted a constitutional a new constitution to be written right if so what is that new constitution going to achieve is it going to be something that the military likes more i mean he's going to benefit from this new constitution no one knows that there's no plan no time plan no material plan to how they will get this transition period that's why people. don't don't. have any faith and there's a big mistrust between the population and the regime and that's why they're calling for an of

he clearly went after the klan to destroy it and virtually did, but then there is the louisiana problem of 1875. lucas makes a very good point. the if lincoln lives problem has everything to do with the fact that lincoln doesn't have to live with reconstruction on his back. if he did, we would be having a different conversation. he would be wearing that as part of his reputation and he doesn't have too, even though he had a lot of thoughts about reconstruction before the war ended. anyway. i am a middle school history teacher, so i am thinking of my students i ask this. maybe a couple of you can answer it. thinking about lincoln's sense of humor, wended his sense of humor disappear from the mythology? he is presented as such a serious stonefaced person, it is hard to get at that side of him. i'm just curious. was in the 1930's or before then? >> no, carl sandburg talks about him is very funny. maybe he didn't publish all of those jokes, but he still talks about him as being somebody with a big sense of humor. there were definitely popular news stories in the 30's that talked about linco
