he's already said he's not a republican and doesn't support the republican. >> nick fuentes, right? >> okay. >> so nobody serious no, no serious. >> he's grows but it was just an interesting comment. right. but i think what i don't think we'd be in a very different place where we are right now. >> is that trump is leading vice president harris in every single swing state that matters. cnn's own poll from yesterday shows him up in pennsylvania and michigan and nevada and arizona, and georgia. and so i think maybe he'd be up more had we not gone through that, but i think we would still see that the american people are focused on the economy and the last four years that led us to the economy, we have right now rather than spending time talking about this, i think that the polls were more mixed than that, but let's just say it's a jump ball in all the battleground states, paul, let's talk about the upcoming debate coming up. during a cnn town hall that i hosted in 2019, when then senator kamala harris was running for the democratic presidential nomination, she dropped out a few months l

nick fuentes is an anti-semite. they're all in the same rooms together. >> it's remarkable because she's jewish but she'll hang out with holocaust deniers because it it serves some purpose. islam hates us. he called for a ban. what was the result in the real world? we had the highest number of hate crimes against muslim americans. worse than after 9/11. think about that. because of trump. we had muslim women hearing hijabs getting beaten up. we had mosques with the word trump written on the wall. we had bullying of muslim students. my heart goes out to immigrants in general. the haitian community. this two for one lie with donald trump targeting black immigrants. that's so much the fuel of maga going after black people and going after immigrants. we have haitian immigrants. there's no responsibility. look, at this point you have to know who trump is. if you're voting for trump, you're down with this. i will not give you -- there's no quarter. you are down with racism, bigotry. plus an attempted coup and a january 6t

you keep saying zogba i'm only uses because i've been listening to a lot of nick fuentes. you're not a nick fuentes fan? >> not necessarily. i think that he's a white supremacist. well, think about it. he's okay he's a white proponent. he's an anti-semite. he's right, he's really isn't why he loves kanye and alex jones who they've been trying to nail for god knows how long now you are an now. >> absolutely i am now absolutely. >> but you don't believe the stuff he said about sandy hook kids difficult question for you to answer. >> well, look at the evidence let's say that he started to look into it and it turns out obama had those kids murdered on purpose, but he did ease. >> but if they died, that's still a possibility because he was president. >> but by purpose, i still mean negligence. >> what about the parents of the children? who were what i hope it isn't good. >> jones doing is making these tragedies. so much worse know, how do you get worse than child death? i'll tell you how by having idiots who watch alex jones show up and start harassing the parents of the childr

did trump know where we nic what point does he's nick fuentes, a white supremacist he did down with nick fuentes who should not have done that. yeah, he should right. >> okay. so now we know that it is not only so you're saying one person who could have got in line dinner versus the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of progressive activists in the streets that's the equivocation actually think a question for you. >> these college gets you are wrong. i have done denounce those. >> that's your party now. those are your people those are the people you seek to i would never have a nice day geyse. this is obviously very emotionally charged conversation. i appreciate my perspective that you bring. i appreciate your acknowledgement that this did happen as sarah kind of pushed you, but i will say i think it's very important that any corner where we see antisemitism left, right? wherever it comes from, it is deeply wrong alright, so to come here after the break, north carolina democratic congressman jeff jackson joins me live to discuss the surat. the scandal surrounding north carolina's go

. >> he had dinner with kanye west, kanye west was a holo holocaust, nick fuentes a neo-nazi sympathizer people like t that. we are barely 24 hours away from donald trump having faced a second assassination attempt in two months, the first time as resulted in actual bloodshed in a gunshot to the head and instead of you recognizing there is a lot of rhetoric in this country that could drive and balance people to do really crazy and violent things, instead you are doubling and tripling down on the lies and the explosions this musing propaganda against donald trump. liz: let me talk about what donald trump said in the aftermath, thankfully he is okay and he said he is okay he is forging ahead, obviously it's unbelievable that this is the second time in nine weeks, as we look toward election day we are already, today is the deadline for pennsylvania in the county board of elections to start processing application for absentee and mail-in ballots, early voting is going to begin and a lot of other states, looking at the trend it is a dead heat, money may make the difference with all of this, d

getting sucked into doing stuff for kanye west, if you remember, this was around the time of the nick fuentest she really wanted to do was do research for the trump campaign and there was a look at whether she could fill a more formal role. ultimately, because she is such a bomb thrower, she struggles to keep her mouth shut, this never materialized, but that was the origin story of laura loomer, and that is kind of her ongoing relationship with trump. the reason she is on the plane, is in part, because she is not an employee. the way it has been described to me, is trump feels like, laura, you are not a part of the campaign, but we revalue you, so let me repay you by taking you on this trip, especially for this debate, a big moment for me. >> so, some of the postdebate reporting suggests that trump's own perception of his performance is really untethered to reality. you know many close to trump, reasonably well. is that actually how he sees it, or what he wants people to believe? because axial suggests trump's inner circle lies to him. do they have no choice but to lie to him? >> i mean, i th

the most infamous is probably and he died in florida with white nationalist holocaust denier nick fuentes. after that dinner he claimed he knew nothing about fuentes's background. he cannot make the same excuse with laura loomer he has known her for years. she has been a lightning rod for controversy her prerogative -- and widely reported. she is a self-described proud islam of hope who has described the religion of islam is a quote, cancer. her hateful comments about muslims that are primarily prohibited from taking your and lyft in 2017 and one year later twitter prohibited her from using the platform after she posted a tweet attacking muslim fungus woman ilhan omar. her account has since been reactivated by elon musk who seems to have little issues with a full content. days before she traveled with trump to philadelphia for the debate last week she published a post on x that spread in part quote if kamala harris wins, the white house will smell like curry and white house speeches will be facilitated by a call center". call centers being a reference to the fact that many american compan

from the fact that he hangs out with people like nick fuentes.-- >> you think maybe hanging around with people who are like, they love hitler, and even this guy, he called himself a black nazi. >> here's the thing, you can call it blame, but maybe those of us who are targeted, attacked by trump, maybe we want the blame actually for defeating him. >> fair. >> let's call it credit. so i'll take the credit for being part of the community that actually works to defeat him. i hope that jewish americans, black americans, lgbtq americans can actually stand up and say yes, we came together and do that. >> let me play one more. there are black maga who seem to think he digs them. let's play how he talked about undocumented migrants in a very specific way. here he is, trump. >> a lot of people coming from jails out of the congo in africa. where do you come from, the congo. where in the congo? we come from jail. what did you do? we will not tell you. they're coming from the congo, they're coming from africa, from the middle east. they're coming from all ove

nick fuentes, people who have been perpetuating racist or anti-semitic conspiracy theories that donaldmp has surrounded himself with. he's been around them. the democrats have had a hard time uncoupling donald trump and who's he's surrounding himself with, i guess, the supporters, they argue he's a racist or say he's surrounding themselves with racists. sometimes, or a lot of time, donald trump supporters will say, hey, what are you talking about? screw you, i'm not a racist, i'm not a conspiracy theorist, you're denigrating me. how do the democrats point out, look who he's with, look what he's doing? do you want to be associated with them? without painting the entire support system as racist or as xenophobic or anti-semitic, et cetera. >> well, i think clearly you have to point out to everyone that it is a threat throughout his career dealing with this. in the '70s he and his father were sued by the justice department, not by a civil rights group, justice department for racial discrimination, then you go to the late '80s where he took out an ad, $85,000 ad calling for the execution of

associates with people who go back to that two years ago when he had dinner at mar-a-lago with nick fuentes and kanye west. when after all, the anti-semitic stuff that's coming out of kenya was he has people around him who are promoting these things he enjoys having some of that around. he talks about it himself. he was the one who talked about the made-up story about immigrants eating dogs on the debate stage and it sort of reminds me of that scene in the hangover, the first hangover movie, where they've got the mercedes-benz going down the road and the tiger wakes up in the backseat whatever the trump campaign has tried to build here to keep things very professional and capable. they always have to deal with donald trump being donald trump, and scratching at things in the way that he's going to interesting. >> you're front frank luntz, loomer also is doubling down on her 911 skepticism. she did so once again today, how damaging is this association do you believe? for trump it's certainly not helpful when you're trying to win undecided voters. >> they're not non-ideological , well, and the

history as a former grand wizard of the kkk he didn't know the details about the proud boys and nick fuentes and all and on is this too baked into the trump kaye that laura loomer's will be around look it's been an issue that the trump campaign has been dealing with, like you said, victor, going back to 2016, that controversy surrounding david duke. >> but these comments by laura loomer this week are just another added headache for the trump campaign and we are seeing essentially in a way damage french control being done to distance themselves from loomer. it was interesting once we saw loomer posting these very racist remarks about kamala harris on social media. we saw a number of trump allies like congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, senator lindsey graham immediately trying to get in there too distance prompt from loomer. but obviously that wasn't enough. it took donald trump having to go to truth social, to distance himself. what does ultimately does though, is that it plays into this argument that democrats in trump critics have been making, that there are extremists within the republi

piece, you'll see first outfront >> this is far right activist laura loomer and white nationalist nick fuentes, cheering to the hostile takeover i'm and they're not wrong. >> both met personally with donald trump. >> i first met loomer in 2017 at an event for manosphere influencer, mike sort of edge at the time on numer was an activist who'd celebrated the deaths of muscle but she was being harassed by white nationalists, trolls because she's a jewish woman. >> since then she's taken a strange trajectory with years somewhat in obscurity because she'd been banned from so many social media sites like twitter when elon musk took over twitter, she came back. she does stunts like ambush interviews frank, why aren't you supporting president trump simon, successful investigative journalists loomer recently told cnn she's not anti-muslim now, some might dispute that she's entered the mainstream, but she's reached the former president's elite inner circle flying to the presidential debate on trump's plane, and to new york as he observed the anniversary of 9/11, a notable appearance since loomer has pus

kind of baked into the trump cake that there will be these characters around that there will be a nick fuentes who died with the former president that he will kind of be vaguely dismissive or disavow david duke as he did in the past. how much? if this do his allies was campaign expect is just going to be around and on laura loomer, he said he doesn't support her. but is he going to kick her off the plane? >> i think this is something that means trump does like having all right. people. i mean like people like laura loomer, for example. i mean, she's someone that's never going to disagree with him. she's going to kind of boost his ego and he anything he says she's going to agree with. and this is the type of people that trump likes having around him, are these yes-man? there's people that are constantly going to talk and kind of support what he's doing and does it in this front that he seems to look past some of the things that they've done. i am some of the egregious things that they've done at some of these cases. and that kind of gets him into trouble. i do think so, advisers, allies have ki

with extremist is visible from the guest list of his clubs at times remember when he dined with nick fuentes at mar-a-lago, someone who is a white supremacist and holocaust denier here's donald trump with loomer toasting what they said was the hostile takeover. this is loomer and fuentes. i should note, toasted what they said was the hostile takeover of the republican party meantime the rapper formerly known as kanye west, who made white nationalist and anti-semitic comments, also got a white house meeting once and was seen at mar-a-lago the question is, why is this outraging trump's allies now, people like marjorie taylor greene and lindsey graham, we've been talking to people. it's because loomer has the president's ear and a moment where he's in a tightly locked race against vice president harris. and a lot of them fear that she's going to be a distraction are you you look so beautiful is always a woman with courage? you don't want to be, you want to be lured to be lured means something like this, facing one of the protests that she has spent years staging, like when she handcuffed hersel

>> saying, alright, keith, you're turn, i guess like nick fuentes having lunch or dinner with without donald trump. anyway in texas, in beyonce, but they beyonce got snubbed at the country music awards this year. because she had one of the top selling albums of the year. she's obviously a black woman artist. and unfortunately the country music awards, the cmas don't seem to respect black women that way in part because if you look back at the history just last year, was the first time a black woman ever want anything that was tracy chapman for a song that she wrote 35 years ago that just want to reward because the white man luke combs made a cover of it. i think it's a reflection of how black people who are responsible for creating country music and brought the banjo to the united states from africa. have our history ignored? alright, madison nfl is back, but potentially the biggest snub of the senate little wayne was not chosen for the super bowl halftime show this year. >> they chose kendrick lamar, holly grove zone, best rapper alive. little wayne, needs to be included in that perfo

>> i mean, he tried to pull that when he had dinner with nick fuentes, an avowed white supremacist at mar-a-lago. i mean, this is a pattern. i do see this is a go-to move for almost anything that he wants to not claim ownership of, be at people who are controversial, like the figures you just said, be at people who were employed by him, who he fired, or he he dismissed that's hardly know. i'm barely worked here for a short period of time he is a man of few moves and he uses over and over again. and the goal with all of these is to try to insulate himself and not be tied to it. >> he said today he might do a second debate with harris if he's in a better mood, what's your sense in your reporting of whether or not he's going to actually do. >> i think it's not likely i think that if if the polling doesn't really change in one direction or another, i think that he will he will stay where he is if changes toward him that i really don't think he will i don't expect we're going to see some massive polling swing just because the country is so polarized, but we won't know until next week wheth

mar-a-lago dining companion nick fuentes and kanye west, threatening to go defcon three. as part of western civilization. the man trump referred to as one of the hottest politicians, north carolina lieutenant governor mark robinson who we learned yesterday referred to himself as a, quote, black nazi. joining our conversation, co-founder and executive director of protect democracy, ian bassett is here. rev is also back with us. ian, your thoughts on what we heard from the ex-president? >> well, unfortunately he puts us constantly in this bind because it is necessary and imperative that we call out this hateful rhetoric when it is raised. good on us for doing that here. at the same time, we have to understand that he also wants us talking about this. you have to understand why he's doing this. why is he engaging in anti-semitic behavior? why is he creating xenophobic fear mongering against immigrants to this country? why does he engage all the racist behavior he engages in? because it's an old tried and true tactic of divide and conquer. you see this by authoritarians aroun
