, have the kkk over the to the white house. when in fact barack obama has had the equivalent of the kkk, black lives matter, he's hosted them at the white house numerous times. >> all of this race baiting, that's what it is because donald trump doesn't support the kkk and everybody knows it. i think you're right. i think it shows desperation and all early voting indicators show that hillary clinton is not getting anywhere near the women vote that they need to win or the black vote that they need to win or the youth vote. by the way, if you were bernie sanders supporter and now you know that hillary conspired with the dnc, cheated on debates, i don't think i would be so inclined the support the nominee if i'm a bernie sanders supporter. >> no. there's no momentum, no energy. i've been across the country on behalf of donald trump. and the donald trump supporters are energized, they're motivated. they cannot wait. those who participated in early voting. you see many people on the right, the gop republicans, people who identify as

the kkk.his is the president of the united states. >> if you accept the support of klan sympathizers, if you don't denounce them right away because you're kind of not sure, well, that's what you're going to do when you're in office. >> here we go. that's the president of the united states going as deep in the gutter as anybody can get, playing racial politics. why? to scare african-american voters into voting for a candidate and a party that has a long history of rampant racism. now, project veritas this week, they put out a disturbing new undercover video no one else in the clinton loving media will dare to show you. that's because in it you will see a major democratic donor making racist comments about african-americans. now, we've told you fox hasn't independently verified it. you can see the content for yourself. it is beyond shocking. watch in. >> our journalist was speaking with leah and benjamin barber. mr. barber is a well-known political theorist and author and a major donor to democr

while ignoring her relationship to someone who is in the kkk. robert kkk byrd right after he died. >> senator byrd was a man of eljens and noeblts. from my first day in the senate i sought out his guidance. he was generous with his time and wisdom. i admired his advocacy for his west virginia constituents. i continue to rely on his advice and counsel. >> her mentor. how is she praising someone like that? this is the same martin byrd who said this years ago. >> a white [ bleep ]. i've seen a lot of white [ bleep ] in my time, if you want to use that word. but we've all -- we just need to work together to make our country a better country. >> that guy right there, former klansman, hillary clinton's mentor. now clinton and the democrats for decades, they tried to wrongfully strike fear in the hearts of african-american voters. take a look at al gore going into his preacher voice saying this. >> it's wrong what the leader of the republican party and this congress are doing in blocking an accurate census because they don't want to count everyone that

[ cheers and applause ] donald trump -- donald trump was rushed off the stage at a rally over the weekend after someone in the crowd yelled "gun," which is surprising because i just assumed that's how people at trump rallies greeted each other.

endorsement - the crusader -- a ku klux klan paper -- has devoted its republican nominee, saying the kkk and trump have shared values.. trump's campaign denounced the paper -- saying their views do not represent trump or the americans uniting behind his campaign." clinton is following suit - after trump's campaign announced they'd buy t-v ads in michigan and new mexico -- clinton said she's doing the same thing. those states typically vote democrat. clinton's campaign says it will spend more than 100- thousand dollars each of the two states. and it looks like her team has the money to do it. in the past three days, the democratic nominee has raised the most money she ever has since becoming the nominee -- over eleven million dollars. if google is any indication -- there may be a lot of people casting their ballots early. google trends announced that searches for the question 'where do i vote early' have reached an all-time high. more than 24-

but he has a record of crushing the back of the kkk. >> jenna? >> this has been on ongoing issue for jeff sessions. a lot of his supporters have been listing all all of the other things he's done like hogan just did. it doesn't change the things that are in his past which have been problems for him for decades now and have been things that he has had to explain over and over again. and we're going to have to expect that this time around also. >> and reasons why he was not confirmed back in 1986, when he did have to face the senate. thank you both, great conversation. we're going to take a quick break. when you find something worth waiting for, we'll help you invest to protect it for the future. financial guidance while you're mastering life. from chase, so you can. the search for relief often leads here.s, introducing drug-free aleve direct therapy. a high intensity tens device that uses technology once only in doctors' offices. for deep penetrating relief at the source. new aleve direct therapy. we were in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen.

the kkk sees an opportunity to come back into the mainstream.ife. they're parading in public. they're considering just making one big hole now. that's how confident they are. like i don't understand when people say like, i don't know, man, i don't care, i don't know if i want to go out, they are definitely going to go out. the kkk, there is no k in exrais complacent, my friend, they are going out there, these are the same people who make crosses to make their point, do you understand? you can't order a cross on amazon. these people are out there and they are like oh, we're going to make that. we're going to make that, burn it it down and wear white at the same time. that is very, very confident, and i urge you to be as confident. get out there and vote. you aren't one of those people sitting at home going it doesn't matter, what am i going to do, it is the establishment, the establishment is something we've seen before. even if hillary is a bad president, america has had bad presidents. you can impeach a bads president, you can vote out a bad pr

he got a $7 million payout from the kkk, which dismantled the kkk, and personally oversaw the kkk leader death penalty for the killing of a black teenager, this is what he did as attorney general in alabama. then when he got into the senate he brought forth the 2010 fair sentencing act, which was to reduce mandatory minimum sentences. he voted for a 30-year extension on the civil rights act. >> do you think he's evolved over the years since the '80s? >> i think he was mischaracterized in 1986. he denied those allegations. those were statements brought up. >> he admitted -- i heard that -- i read the transcripts and saw it, he admit, i'm sure i said something along those lines. >> he joked about the kkk and did admit to joking about the kkk and as you know for so many it's no laughing matter. i think checker side not good enough when you're supposed to be -- >> do you think it's kayleigh said he was maischaracterized? >> there's some controversy over the "86 election. he had to pay a fine for over exaggerating, racial injustices, while bringing cases, so there's some question what happene

to deliver a just a dude in the kkk like, earl, hear me out. what if this time we endorse the white man? >> definitely want to do something to help. >> also this is the first time i'm hearing about the kkk show that, you know, what those newspaper and i absolutely subscribe. i just want to see if there is a sports section. >> very cool. check more of our conversation >> it was reported this week that hillary clinton has already booked an election night fireworks display over the hudson river to celebrate her victory or to visually demonstrate how her campaign exploded. [ laughter ] too real? [ laughter ] she's also holding a massive rally monday night with what they are calling an avengers line-up of president obama, michelle, bill clinton, and roll tied. alabama wins 10-0. their sixth straight win over lsu. joe biden. but if you're hillary maybe don't call them the avengers because it makes us think about which avenger hillary is and, arizona football. the wildcats no longer bull girl, you hawkeye. they got embarrassed by washington state today

at the time sessions called the kkk allegation ludicrous and said using the term boy for a black menas reprehensible. but in the end the senate judiciary committee rejected him. and as you just heard chuck schumer said jeff sessions will be vetted again. to this day sessions calls the allegations heartbreaking and his supporters say it should be noted that jeff sessions spear headed the effort to award the congressional medal to those who marched no selma for civil rights 50 years ago. listen to william smith who was hired by jeff sessions as the first african-american chief council on the senate judiciary committee. >> if you look at jeff sessions' history. he prosecuted the head of the kkk, made sure he received the death penalty, desegregated the schools in alabama. >> others are lining up to support sessions but there are those who oppose him and accuse him 30 years later. >> thank you. joining me now with more, sheriff david clark of the milwaukee county sheriff's office and eric guster. great to see you both. eric, what's the problem with jeff sessions. you heard the report. la

let's talk about the kkk for one second here. the kkk, ku klux klan, terrorized african americans by either it was lynching, bombing or raping. there was a study that came out in 2015 by the equal justice initiative that said from 1877 to 1950, nearly 4,000 black women, black men, black children were lynched in 12 southern states. so this is the reality that we're dealing with. >> did you know that jeff sessions as the u.s. attorney prosecuted -- >> let me finish here more a second. -- >>[chatter]. >> come on, don't be rude. let me just finish my statement. when we're talk about the steve bannon. that is the fear that we all have. thank you, is that okay for you? all right. >> i was just going to say that as a u.s. attorney jeff sessions prosecuted klan's men who murdered an african american boy. and i don't think a lot of people are talking about that. and by the way the so called racist things he said. i don't know if he said them or not. he might have said them. it is hearsay. that is what other people have testified to. >> ha

donald trump's campaign just hours ago denouncing a show of support from the kkk's official newspaper. the fbi out with a statement defending itself after tweeting out documents from a long-closed clinton investigation from a long, dormant twitter account. >> let's start with less than a week to go, both candidates out on the trail deep into the night. we saw something at the hillary clinton event we haven't seen before. this was a rally in sanford, florida. she went right after a protester who called her husband a rapist. watch this. >> i love this country. i think we already are great! now, i think we can be greater. and, you know, i am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive, dangerous vision and behavior of people who support donald trump! it is time for us to say no, we are not going backwards, we're going forward into a brighter future! >> hillary clinton calling out the calvary this week of president obama, vice president biden, former president clinton, bernie sanders, all on the trail crisscrossing the country from carson city to cal a ma zoo. latest from ft. lauderdal

is he not the president of the kkk? did he not care whether their vote came in or money camin e io campaigns? this is the issue, as well. donald trump can't control who votes for him. you got the kkk in california that gave $20,000 to hillary's campaign and she never returned the money and at the end of the day it's this. the kkk and black nationalests, they are americans and they do have the right to participate in this process. the problem is the president has no record and helping the inner cities blacks and latinos. what they're doing because they don't have a record, they're going to play on fear. they're going to play on the emotions of voters and i'm hoping the voters won't fall it. don't vote for 100 billion. >> i want to get your take on this. friends with senator robered by byrd he went on stage and said he is my friend and my mentor. isn't that far worse than some kkk newspapers supporting donald trump? >> absolutely not. >> how is that not? >> senator byrd admitted his mistake six decades before his death and

here is barack obama playing the race card and trying to tie donald trump to the kkk. he did this today. >> if you accept the support of klan sympathizers before you're in office, you you'll accept their support while in office. >> outrageous. you would think president obama while making such an explosive claim, that he'd have facts to back it up, but he doesn't. i plays the race card. now, the kkk is a domestic terrorist group and, frankly, donald trump isn't connected to any do mes tick terrorist. we should point out president obama's ties to bill ayars and bernarde dorn, not to mention i don't think donald trump as pastor of 20 years said these things. >> the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yard! america's chickens are coming home to roost. no, no, no. not god bless america. god damn america. that's in the bible. >> remember, obama said he is like family to me. 20 years in the pews but i had no idea he thought this way. hillary clinton also made similar accusations against donald trump, trying to paint him as a supporter of th

now, the flyers were meant to recruit people as kkk members. the flyers read our race is our nation and the kkk is advertising as a loyal white knights of the kkk. now, things like this and advertisements for the kkk right now, investigators in upstate new york are looking into this to get to the bottom of this to see what is going on. that is the latest. back to you. >> thank you. >>> the police officer who shot and killed a minnesota man during a traffic stop is now facing charges of manslaughter. >> it is my conclusion that the use of deadly force by officer yanez s >> officer yanez shot philando castile in july. his girlfriend started life streaming the aftermath. this is it. investigators say the officer asked for castile's identification and he calmly told the officer he was carrying a gun. a minute later, the officer shot him seven times. yanez will make hi first court appearance tomorrow. >>> the iowa city police department is now offering jobs to more minority officers. right now, there are two open positions and the city council two po

in-worded of using the and saying the kkk was ok. >> i think he believes in the rule of law and willrobably get confirmed. mark: he got support today from his republican colleagues in the senate, including flake and lindsey graham. given the senate rules, a majority would confirm sessions, so is this a good pick and how controversial will it be? donny: he will get confirmed. three out of our five first picks from trump have a genuine history of racism or anti-semitism. about always talk appointees, and talk about steve bannon, now we have jeff sessions. very simple, a history of it. he did not get appointed -- confirmed as a federal judge because of it. i don't know when we got to the point where somebody who could not be the ceo of a company or a principle of an elementary school based on things they have said and done. we are now, well, but, well, but. politics aside, just as a dad, i am disturbed and concern. will beu say he confirmed, and i suspect he will at he will be present hearings to explain the statements he has made in the past that kept him from being confirmed. i think,

>> i don't know, but the fact that the kkk's newspaper came out and endorsed donald trump last week, the fact we are seeing a rise of nationalist groups, the fact we are in a society now where it's okay not just to not be pc, but to say overtly racist things is a problem and the only way you cure it is to get jobs r if everyone. >> i think the kkk is a joke. it's irrelevant. doesn't even hardly exist. >> as a white machine, you can feel that way. you can feel that way. as a white male. i have not encountered and the fear is that i might and i don't want to. >> there's no john burge society anymore either, but there e million of people who could be, who would have been john birnlger. >> i think it's a joke. any way, i urns your concern. >> the nationalists are rising. it's not good. >> thank you. have a lot of opinions on this show. up next, my election diary with just two days to go before the 2016 presidential election. this is "hardball," the place for politics. what! she washed this like a month ago the long lasting scent of gain flings >>> election diary sunday, innocent. that's t

by the way, he does not want the kkk endorsement. ve been clear about that. >> right, and they renounced it right away. listening to clinton's rhetoric you get the sense she believes it is a national emergency and her surrogates talk the same way. president obama talking about the fate of the rep, other surrogates striking a similar tone. it makes sense, messaging why she is trying to line up the greatest hits so to speak. meanwhile, donald trump is the one with the sunnier message right now. of course he is being very disciplined. i think a couple of days ago he said, how striking is it he managed to stay on message, no late night twitter rants, what we used to call gasps before came along. kellyanne said he will not be doing any before election day. the message is clear. >> it is not unusual for candidates to do interviews, they're doing rallies and getting people out to the polls. al gore talked about perhaps african-american going back to three-fifths of the vote and that was before tee election in 2000. joe biden is going to put

he was accused of calling the kkk okay until he found out they smoked marijuana and called the black county missioner in mobile the n word. the next democratic leader said he will not have special treatment. >> he will need a thorough vetting. those are old statementses but troubleing and the idea that jeff sessions is just because he is a senator to get through without a series of toughie questions and given those early things, no way. >> senator mcconnell supports it and calling him principleded and forth right and hard working. the senate will consider them in a thorough and timely manner to ensure a smooth transition between the administrations. >> you can catch the rest of chris wallace's interview and sit down with mike pence. check your local listings. >> the trump administration coming in clearer focus with mike pompeo being the next director of the cia. catherine herridge has more. >> reporter: the selection of mike pompeo a west point grad was welcomed by a former ciardirector. >> this is a serious man who takeses it seriously and studied these questions. along with republi

who called steve bannon a friend of the jews, but you could also just as easily have listened to the kkkmerican nazi party, who are calling steve saying steve bannon is our guy. >> yes, i mean and that's complicated because he's not a part of those groups. they happen to support him. so is he responsible for the people that support him? >> i think that's sort of a tricky question. actions speak louder than words and when the kkk is holding a victory rally you have to wonder why this candidate is an ally to the kkk and not their enemy. i would want a candidate that the kkd sees as an enemy. >> thank you so much for coming in. >> thank you. >> we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get to it. >> beginning of any transition like this has turmoil. >> the president-elect looked very happy with how the transition is going. >> no administration is ready on day one. we weren't ready on day one. >> someone the president-elect trusts very much. >> he says i almost unleashed my twitter account against you, and i still may. >> we are going to drain the swamp. >> we're not going to have an

donald trump denouncing support from the kkk news. fbi defending itself after tweeting out documents from a long-closed clinton investigation from a long dormant twitter account. and the cubs won. that has nothing to do with that. i just wanted to let you know. >> there's no bullet point for that on the screen right there. >> with less than a week to go with the candidates deep into the night. we saw something from hillary clinton at her event that we have not even before. this happened at a rally in ft. lauderdale. she really went after a protester who called her husband a rapist. watch this. >> i love this country. i think we already are great. now, i think we can be greater. and, you know, i am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive dangerous vision and behavior of people who support donald trump. it is time for us to say no. we are not going backwards. we're going 230erd into a brighter future. >> hillary clinton calling out the cavalry this week, president obama, vice president biden, former president clinton, bernie sande

comments about the kkk. agreement with aspects of the voting rights act up until present day. do you believe that these are legitimate concerns for his confirmation? >> well, i don't know jeff sessions to talk to him. i find him to be a dpeent guy, honorable guy. i talk to senators who have a lot of respect for him. you can always take a comment somebody made 35 or 40 years ago. i grew up in queens and i think of all ethnic remarks made 40, 50 years ago and if they were used against someone today, different context, different time. you look at his record it's been as far as i can tell there's been no racism or bias whatsoever. and as far as let's say disagreement with parts of the voting rights act, you can have legitimate debates over that as to how long certain aspects of that action stay in place. how long it should apply to certain states. that doesn't mean you're against voting rights. that's part of an honest debate. you may disagree with it but i don't see any element of jeff sessions of any racism at
