my biggest concern is not so much steve king today. it's the steve kings of the future.whole group of republican aspiring politicians coming up that see the trump play script, see the trump play book and they want to follow it. >> well, and i would add to that, brendan, that leaving aside the aspiring republican political class, i think that for those that are teenagers and even younger to just be exposed on a daily basis to the kind of rhetoric and -- listen, the biggest threat in the last month was not -- is not the caravan, all right, it's the ippcc report that came out. and we start focusing on things that -- with these ethnic tinges on them. it will end up in a bad place for our country irrespective of politics. with respect to what you just said. and i think that as leaders, as elected leaders, that's where i think we all have to be focused because this is a cultural thing that is generational in its projection, and that's why we have to rein it in and speak out. >> i don't think there is any disagreement. >> i totally agree. i want to say, to me, the thing about s

is steve king done? do we think this is it for steve king or do we think the folks of western iowa send him back for another term? >> well, i would not want to make any predictions a week out from election day, but a poll that just came out or was reported on yesterday has mr. king only up by one pouint. this very inflammatory rhetoric that he has used for years, including with me in an interview i did with him many years ago. he was on the radio, he tossed out this racial remark, and i said congressman i don't know if you know who you're talking to, and he was very embarrassed and he wanted to take me to lunch. you might find this amusing, i suggested we go to b. smith's at union station. steve king has a long history including attacking republican leadership, so i think there actually might be some republicans on capitol hill that would be rather happy to see the back of mr. king. >> so here's the thing, professor, you know, one percentage point down according to this poll. that's where steve king is r

steve king hasn't just aligned himself with white supremacists like i would say the president has, steve a supporter and an espouser of white supremacist ideology. he believes this crap. so, look, i'm not giving the nrcc any cupcakes, candies or pats on the back for doing just the bare minimum. >> okay, no cupcakes or candies or pats on the back. president trump just arrived at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh. there he is. we're going to -- watch this as it happens, as it unfolds. let's listen in. >> if anybody wondered, ron dermer, israeli ambassador to the united states and jeffrey myers. jared kushner, his son-in-law, and ivanka trump are there, as well. jared is wearing a yamaka. they're meeting there, as i said, with the rabbi, jeffrey myers and israeli ambassador to the united states, ron dermer. kaitlan collins is on the scene. and kaitlan, you've been there all day. it's very -- it's very sad to be there. tell us what you're seeing. >> reporter: yeah, jake. this has been a really sad scene all day. you can see to the left of where the president just got out of the beast.

that's the person that steve king wants to be the mayor of toronto. it turns out people of iowa have been paying attention to king's support. this week the des moines register, king's hometown paper, has endorsed his opponent democrat j.d. schullton writing in his 16 years in congress king has passed one bill as primary sponsor, redesignating a post office, rarely holds public town halls, instead spends his time with fascist leaders in europe. joining me is steve schullton. by the way, we asked congressman king to join us tonight and he declined. j.d., first question, is steve king's message back in iowa like the one he has on twitter where he's constantly talking about how much he loves fascist sympathizers in europe and neo-nazis sympathizing mayoral candidates. >> it's really not. thank you for allowing me to be on the show. it's bizarre to hear him talk about toronto and the mayoral race. it's weird to see he's had as many tweets about that, where we have a highway in sioux city go four lane. we had a celebration on that. he's had as many tweets on

iowa congressman steve king, the head of the house republicans campaign arm, the man in charge of getting republicans elected tweeted this against king. quote, king's recent comments, actions and retweets are completely inappropriate. we must stand up against white supremacy and hate in all forms and i strongly condemn this behavior. plus purina intel, land o' lakes have all pulled support. and it was written "steve king, the most deplorable congressman." it came after he showed support for a white nationalist in a canadian election and has attacked billionaire george soros in what critics consider is an anti-semitic move. rick is an opinion columnist for the "des moines register." welcome to you. >> thank you. >> steve king has been making comments of this ilk for years and years and years. so why is someone just now saying something? >> you know, it's a really good question because some of us have been waiting for national republicans to speak up on him for some 22 years. that's how long he's been in office between the iowa legislature and then the u.s. house of representatives. none of

so i am wondering what you think of the fellow congressman steve king and now the head of the republican campaign committee coming out gaiagainst what stev king has said in support of white supremacists. >> his comments and his actionses are disgusting. and look, i know nothing about his opponent andrea, but i will tell you this, i would never cast a ballot for someone like steve king. >> even if it meant that is the one seat that leads to losing the control of the house of representatives? >> my principles are more important than any of that. i would never cast a ballot for someone like steve king. >> your opponent debbie powell is rating that it is now a toss-up race. what do you say to her, and why should people vote for you over her, and we have invited her to come on the program as well. >> this is always a swing district, andrea, and this race is always tough. i didn't expect anything differently this year, but this is what i would say to her and to everyone in our country. all of these issues that we care about whether it is immigration, the environment, the national debt, the eco

steve king is trying to distract people. so i don't think we need to focus on that.ould focus on his record. >> what's interesting, you juxtaposed that with what elizabeth warren just did. she took dna tests. how do you assess that from a political maneuver? do you think that was effective? >> it's unfortunate that he felt like she had to do that because the president has been terrible in, i think, smearing her reputation. you know, she never should have been put in that posititpositio. it's also significant because president trump started his political career with that birth certificate issue. this is another form of that. >> do you think it was helpful for democrats for her to do that 25 days before the election. >> i don't think it's here or there right now to talk about that. what we need to recognize is whether it's the president that's calling a woman horseface or embracing that birther issue against the first african-american president a few years ago or calling senator warren pocohantas. >> i want to ask you one story. i look at you and your brother as an exa

the fact is the meeting that steve king had with white nationalists in austria happened back in augustut it was reporting that just surfaced last week that he not only had the meeting with white nationalists in austria but he pigbybacked that meeting that was funded by a holocaust memorial group to take memories of congress to see concentration camps. that struck a lot of people has going too far and some rabbis in iowa had written an open letter that was published in the des moines register denouncing king as a white nationalist and having gone too far. that rabbi letter has been published right when the pittsburgh shooting came. i think having him in the party as a member in good standing in the house republican conference at the pittsburgh shooting was too mumch. >> let's talk about how the republican party has been connected to this very extreme white nationalist, right wing rhetoric. the president himself is using a lot of it himself. there were images from the campaign of hillary clinton's face over a pile of money in a jewish star which invoked a lot of anti-semitic images and c

steve king obviously has a very long history of making racist and inflammatory statements.owever, has caught the attention of party leadership in a way that it hasn't possibly in the past. why is that? steve king had made remarks in an interview with a far right austrian group during a trip that had actually been paid for by a holocaust memorial fund. but he told this for right group that immigrants are threatening whites, was the meaning of his comments.
