reading the sort of popular history book called feverer in e heartland, which a book about the ku klux klan in the midwest in the 1920s, and particularly in indiana where the ku klux klan was very powerful in the 1920s. and, in fact, almost captured the status. there i am on the plane and dislike page 140 140 and the are in south bend, and you probably know this story but i will just tell it to whichever ones of youes don't know this. really quite great moment in universities history, which is the ku t klux klan, i mean they come to south bend to sort of put notre dame in its place, to make it clear to this catholic institution should be wiped off the face of the earth. and the students and organized against it. and there's this big kind of like what we think about as like a little bit of a demonstration and amo counterdemonstration, ad the students basically route the ku klux klan, send them back out of south bend. this is the days of nuke rockne and the four horsemen and there's this part of the book which is the quarterback of notre dame takes, they had, instead of a burning cross, the k

some of our relatives were terrorized by the ku klux klan. i'm trying to get you to understand the pain of. that >> you're intellectually honest. i will remind you, hakeem jeffries, drew analogies between donald trump and the ku klux klan. i don't think you had him on, pressing him in the same way. so we are drawing analogies here. -- >> he did not call donald trump the grand dragon of the kkk. he did not call donald trump to the modern kkk. let's not change what was said. >> reverend sharpton though, i'm calling out a double standard, in saying that certain people can use certain analogies to make a point, well, i'm using an analogy to make a point. the point i'm making is we should stop seeing each other on the basis of our skin color. it was god awful when the kkk did it. but you know what? we have to learn a lesson in the present, that we are creating more racial division in this country. >> but you cannot do it by being being insensitive to -- that's like calling someone of any kind of group that had a group that were terrorizing, i think

but he doesn't seem to understand is that there is a modern ku klux klan, it's called the ku klux klanhile the hate groups numbers have declined over the nears the law center found at least ten active kkk associated groups in 2022. not to mention, just last, week in jacksonville, florida, three black people were murdered at $1 general because they were black. even after that, ramaswamy is doubling down on his deliberate incendiary rhetoric. let's get my panel on here to discuss, -- political strategist and the 2020 georgia senate runoff director. and the chairman is here, michael steele, msnbc political analyst and former chairman of the republican national committee. welcome, welcome, welcome. i don't know if you saw it. i'm gonna play it for the folks at home. the exchange between ramaswamy and the great reverend al sharpton about these comments, nicholas and. >> yes, i do think there are echoes of a historical ugly racism in this country showing up -- >> to say we don't, wait, just a second. to say we do not want voices. to say that is not going with sheets and burning crosses, and

acts which congress passed to enforce the 15th amendment and protect from actions groups like the ku klux klan. and he vigorous fully enforce these laws and effectively disrupt. did the klan in the south with this and with his enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments grant more to protect and defend civil rights of african-americans than any other president for almost a century until you get to the presidency of lyndon. he was also a genuine only nice guy. he was an amiable man who was willing to admit his mistakes. in fact, despite what you may have heard recently, us grant was the first u.s. president to be arrested. he was arrested for speeding. he loved horses. he loved to race his carriage. and a cop literally pulled him over. in 1872. now, what does he do does he say, do you know who i am? no, he said, no, you got me fair and square. he laughs. he smiles. he pays fine. he acknowledged his fault. and it's not to like someone who does that in fact, he at the very end of his, he publicly apologized for his administration. some historians think every president should publicly apologize fo

bill maher is comparing woke progressives to the ku klux klan given their constant fixation on race.ost the thing you should always see everywhere which i find interesting because that used to be the position of the ku klux klan. again, you can have that position, but don't say that's a liberal position. you're doing something very different. >> okay. jessica, maher says he is always trying to make the case that liberal is a different animal than woke which he feels takes things too far to the left fringe. do you agree with him? >> well, he's drawing the distinction -- yes, i do. there is obviously a far left side of the party and the bulk of the party that falls into this establishment camp which is your run of the mill democrat. he is even going further back and talking about old-school blue dog democrats. what was going on in the 90s during the clinton era, and everyone has generally updated their social positions on things like gay marriage, becoming more pro-choice, et cetera. bill maher is -- and i really enjoy him. i watch the show all the time. he is very disconnected from wh

of the 16th street baptist church prepared for sunday service, 19 sticks of dynamite placed by ku klux klan members exploded. as the interior of the walls of the church caved in, over 100 church goers rushed for safety. though most of the congregation escaped, under the debris lie the bodies of addie may collins, denise mcnair, carol robertson, and cynthia morris wesley, as well as sarah collins rudolph, who was injured but ultimately survived. tragically the brutality did not stop after the bombing. when african-american communities across the state of alabama took to the streets to demand justice, they were met with unspeakable violence at the hands of law enforcement. within a few hours, johnny robertson and virgil ware, ages 16 and 13, were killed in clashes between protestors and the police. despite the horrific nature of this attack, it took over 34 years before the perpetrators faced justice. in 2013, mr. speaker, i was honored that my very first bill i passed in this body awarded the congressional gold medal, the highest civilian honor we can give, to the four little girls posthumou

been a senator from alabama was that it came out after his confirmation that he had been in the ku klux klanand this was a big controversy after his confirmation. one of the things that i found very interesting is that there were rumors and allegations of this, before his nomination was voted on in the senate, they talked about it on the four of the senate, and there was nothing like what we would have today, which is kind of a serious inquiry to it, there are questions of the nominee where they had to address it, they kind of brushed it aside, and there was a pittsburgh newspaper did a pulitzer prize-winning series detailing his kkk activities, it was a completely different time in terms of the way confirmations unfolded. >> one of the character that regularly appears in your story is john phillips, did he see himself as the neutral arbiter of justice or someone beholden to the president? >> is interesting, because i think that he would have said he sawimself as a neutral arbiter , and he was actually, he was from a prominent philadelphia family. >> the jeweler family? >> i believe so, i'm

from the 16th street baptist church in birmingham, alabama. 60 years ago today at 10:22 a.m., a ku klux klan carol robertson, and you make hollins, and 11 year old denise mcnair. 22 others were injured. >> i also knew that for little girls, not much older than myself, had been murdered on 16th street baptist church when a bomb ripped through the basement, awakening the nation and the world to the horrors of race based violence and oppression. i knew those girls were killed simply because they were black. and at that time, black people were rising up to demand equal rights. tough stuff for a child. but my parents never lied to me. and i sincerely believed that i needed to know the truth about what had happened in alabama and elsewhere if i was going to be prepared for life in america. so today, we remember the toll that was pave to secure the blessings of liberty for african americans and we grieve those four children who were senselessly taken from this earth and their families, and robbed of their potential. the fact of those souls and spirits shook and bend our own, but we did not break. i

fact there wasn't a single black student while he was president there and close association with ku klux klann johnson lies written about lyndon johnson was a racist to the day he died never had epiphany but not just about that. but this is the entire purpose of the democrat party -- listen to how these people talk. obama, michelle obama, listen to what they say. bernie sanders is a great marxist one of the leadest of the democratic party aoc and about -- two scores of other markist in the house of representative 10 to 15% of the house democrats are marxist and while they call themselves democratic socialist or something like that, every authoritarian regime on the face of the earth uses the word democracy or people or reform. to impose their iron fisted will over the people and you see that and i want to focus on chapter on language and thought control people krach their heads at the thought and lyndon wrote about this stalin wrote extensively about it that you must change the language to accommodate the party. and it is the party that you must have allegiance to not the country. you can see

of they freedmen in the south, even as southern state governments and vigilante groups like the ku klux klan tried to strip them away. also, union veterans during this period were constantly lobbyingg for the expansion of pensions for themselves and their families, and, in general, republicans tended to advocate for these measures, often engaging in something called waving the bloody shirt, painting the democratic opponents as being the party of rebellion and postwar brutality . another huge issue of the time was what to do with the u.s. currency. during the war, the u.s. issued paper money, but many pro- business people wanted to enshrine the gold standard is the only basis of u.s. money. e others advocated for the continued use of paper money, or the addition of silver to to gold, which would expand the money supply and make it easier for people to get credit. while republicans tended to favor the gold standard, and democrats tended to favor d silver, there were minorities of gold democrats and silver republicans.to throughout most of the 1800s, gh there had been a constant debate over how

slavery, which the democratic party defended was the party of the confederacy, segregation, the ku klux klan, lynching, eug eugenics, the current period of time where it now supports a completely different agenda, but it seeks to empower itself. bottom line is -- we only have a minute or two -- this. not a normal political party. it is an autocratic party. every day we wake up and recover on radio, the democratic party, we don't call it that, we have an open order. nature didn't do that, they democratic party did that. we are destroying energy independence. nature didn't do that, the democratic party get that. we are destroying what is taking place in our classrooms. nature didn't do that. the democratic party is doing that. i could go on and on and on, and i do, in the book, as a matter fact. i try to explain that unlike the republican party which, in many ways, is utterly feckless, by the way, the democratic party post we looked at at through the lens of power. its power. everything it does is not for the american people, it is not for the country, it is to empower itself. that is what is
