of white america and the white supremacy. in 1870, of course we have the ratification of the 15th amendment which is black men the right to vote, or better yet, says that black men are, there are no privileges that would allow a person to be denied the right to vote. the right of the citizens of the united states to vote shall not be denied or abridged the united states, or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, this idea means they did not get their right to vote but they should not be denied their right to vote based on race. the year before the 15th amendment was ratified, there was a debate among the white suffragettes, frederick douglass led this debate, his argument was whether or not there should be the race first or the white female suffrage first, he argued for the black men to gain their right to vote before the white women. those white women who said they would stand back and allow the black men to gain the right to vote thought that on the heels of 1870 and the ratification of

white violence, white christian violence, white american violence. i do not lose any sleep that we spend too much time talking about muslims and violence in america. what we struggle to talk about and have policies against is white nationalists, right-wing terrorism, and commemorating or remembering a long history of violence that targets racial and religious minority communities. we know how to remember 9/11 and we know what the motto of that is, "never forget." it is not a model i encounter when it comes to the genocide of the indigenous populations. where is the 9/11 memorial museum for that, right? what violence we remember, what violence we forget, it is intersected with anxiety about white identity, white nationalism, and white supremacy. that is my preface. a few things, briefly, just to get it going. first, i am glad we have this panel on this particular topic, the intersections of anti-semitism, islamophobia, white supremacy/white nationalism. it is important that we talk more about this. we are starting to see more public conversations outs

, that the white exterior stays. he was also a a freemason, he appreciated the craftsmanship. when he rebuilt the white house, he also adds sub basements. when you look at it, it only looks like it is two stories when it is about six stories. on top of that addition, the other thing to keep in mind with one of the things truman really wanted to do, he did not want to change anything drastically as it had been from the 1902 renovation. the only major change he did was the grand staircase. during roosevelt -- teddy roosevelt's time, the staircase went out into the hallway. it is not very conducive for people wanting to see the president and the first lady come down the stairs. he altered it so it has the viewing platform so they can get their picture taken, then they come out in the entrance hall which is a wider space. that is the only major change that truman approves of during the renovation. susan: was that arthur who installed the tiffany glass? yes, you're nodding your head. that was something later presidents we

let's get to the white house counsel. he says that the demands by your colleagues on the house judiciary committee are, quote, outside the constitutional authority of the legislative branch of the u.s. government. how do you respond to that? >> yeah, that's not the case at all. congress has a right to conduct oversight and to investigate these matters and what you have is an administration that's stonewalling in every single way that it can and jerry nadler is right that the president is trying to act like a king, as though nobody can investigate anything that his administration does, and ultimately, the congress is going to have to go to court, the house of representatives is going to have to go to court, probably, to enforce these subpoenas. >> do you support the judiciary committee chairman's threat to fine people for not complying with their subpoenas, even up to the attorney general, bill barr. >> well, yeah, i think that it's important that we've been negotiating, trying to get them to come in and testify and so for

and they are going to keep going after white house officials or former white house officials, connected to the president in their sweeping investigation into possible obstruction of justice. now, these two names, annie donaldson, and hope hicks, two of the people who were closest to the president and don mcgahn, who you noted, did not show up today for a scheduled hearing, did not comply with this subpoena, showing kind of an increased broad effort to increase pressure on white house officials that may have knowledge related to the committee's ongoing obstruction of justice case, their investigation. and the reason why this is so important is that it doesn't just push back against the white house, which has been defying congressional democrats in every way, but it also sends a message to their own counterparts. two house democrats over the course of the last 24 hours, just out of sheer frustration, has caused a lot of democrats who have been falling into line behind speaker nancy pelosi, behind the committee chairman, that impeachment, at least, is not ready for now, are starting to tur

>> it's a little card that allows you to get into the white house through security to go to white houserrings go to meetings with senior administration officials in the white house. it's a valuable thing to have. and once you have it, you really should do everything possible to make sure that it's renewed. however, when i got my hard pass renewed under the trump administration that was in 2017, and i got it because one of the nbc cameraman at the white house said once you have it, don't lose it so go and get it, so i got it. but i never went to the white house. so when i got an e-mail from the white house on march 19th saying our records show that you haven't been -- in the last 180 days you've been to the white house 50% less of the time, therefore your pass is expired, i didn't think anything of it. i thought, well, they got me. i haven't been since january -- actually april of 2017. so, fine, okay you can have it. but it wasn't until i read dana's column this week where i realized oh, holy smokes it wasn't just that this was a systematic thing, and that's why i retweeted dana's piece

moments ago the white house is instructing don mcgahn, the president's former white house counsel, effectively to hold onto those documents subpoenaed by the house investigators because they said the president may want to assert executive privilege in this instance. the man who replaced don mcgahn as the white house counsel said to jerry nadler who heads the house judiciary committee, if you have any questions come to us directly because we're the ones who control these records. we're the ones who allowed mcgahn to use them for the sake of the investigation. if the future you have to come to us. for mcgahn's purpose, his attorney within the last hour, william burke said the house judiciary committee when there are contradictory statements between congress and the white house, we're just going to stay back. you see there the documents. we're co-equal branches of government are making contradictory demands, the appropriate response for mr. mcgahn is to let the status quo exist. hold on until the two sides can sort this out for the moment. mcgahn was a key player in all of this. a key witness in

supremacy white. white our. lifestyle. the. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of know from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and us old why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you just think i was going to go. by the way ways and such like here. on the news in the world. on the world. total. not me did not know. oh you ought to go to post because they move for you. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confronted he shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only closely and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. our hope is that we can get a change in the regime in caracas as soon as possible so that venezuelans can return an

and if you look last week, the white house, through the white house chief of staff, mick mulvaney actuallydon mcgahn not to comply with that subpoena for documents. and so i think that going forward in this next week, we can probably expect to see something similar from the white house in terms of don mcgahn's testimony before the committee. it wouldn't be a surprise if the white house instructed mcgahn not to testify in this. i think what's so interesting in all of this is you're seeing -- a lot of times you see the president say something and it's not quite backed up by white house action, but we're seeing exactly the opposite here, where the president says, i'm going to fight all the subpoenas, we're going to fight every inch of democratic oversight, and you're now seeing in this letter from the white house counsel exactly that rationale laid out for obstructing, essentially, or not obstructing, but rather, not complying with these house oversight committee requests. >> and jackie, donald trump jr. has reached a deal to testify again before the senate intelligence committee. the testimo

ongoing investigations takes relates to the white house.is seeming contradiction in not telling the full truth when it came to whether or not he knew the special counsel was unhappy but i'm with you, let's say heared before the house today, he won't suddenly say you know what, that is my bad, guys. i should have told -- i'm sorry, is it cool? he has said what he is going to say. and so in some ways it is sort of -- you can keep beating that dead horse, but bill barr is not going further than he went yesterday. >> we really want to hear from mueller right now. we want to hear from don mcgahn, former white house counsel. coming up, a new report sheds light on the extraordinary steps that the fbi took to probe suspicions that russia had infiltrated the trump campaign. but which of the 21 democrats running for thas the best chanc of unseating president trump? we have a you into cnn poll. new. s just one free hearing test at his local miracle ear helped andrew hear more of the joy in her voice. just one hearing test is all it took for him to hea

in a letter from the white house to the committee chairman, jerry nadler of new york, the current white house counsel writes this, quote, department of justice has advised me that mr. mcgahn is absolutely immune from compelled congressional testimony with respect to matters occurring during his service as a senior adviser to the president. this is the latest escalation in what is now all out war between democratic investigators and the president where we just got word that a federal judge has ruled in a case against the president, this case involving a subpoena for financial records. the white house's refusal to comply with multiple demands has more than a few house democrats publicly suggesting it may push them closer to impeachment. this news amid another major development that could ratchet up pressure as the first republican congressman, justin amash of michigan breaks with his party, says the president's conduct in his view is impeachable. amash is doubling down, despite major backlash from the president and fellow republicans. so the big question now on the two big stories is what

they were trying to erase any symbol of white identity or white history.ink they were right. both sides had points. valid points that they were trying to make. >> but somebody died because of those actions. and because of that rally and it doesn't matter to me who's side they are on. innocent people should not die. >> this may come across the wrong way to certain people, i think if we were separated, we would not have these issues. just throwing everyone together and blending them together and saying, hey, get along. obviously that is not working. the people that want to be living together in harm any and unity and whatever should be allowed to do that. but the people who don't, is should be able to do their own thing as well. >> what would you do if given that choice? >> hm-mm. you know, i can't really say. that's something that i would have to really think on. if i had to make a split second decision on it, i would have to go with the separatists. >> gabe can't imagine a world where different races co-exist because he has never allowed himself to be a pa

the white house has said "no."e committee could hold don mcgahn in contempt, but the white house and the department of justice has said that you can't compel mcgahn to testify about his conversations with the president. look, there are lots of people who believe you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube after he testified before bob mueller for 30 hours. but mcgahn's not going to show up tomorrow. jerry nadler knows it. and maybe they're just going to have another show hearing. >> is there any chance mcgahn defies the white house and does show up. he's a private citizen? >> not tomorrow. i don't know the answer, though i would lean "no," wolf. because whether or not mcgahn thinks this is the right move, the white house doing what they're doing, provides him cover to not have to go under oath and do -- and testify. i would note, i think that is an unfortunate thing for the public, for this reason. yes, he did testify for 30 hours. we know that. one of the things he testified to is that donald trump ordered him t

this is the style of this white house.tyle of the white house to want to fight, to want to have a foil, in particular, a democratic foil and the foils here, of course, are nancy pelosi, jerry nadler, the folks who are over these committees and over the house democrats. i think this will continue from this white house, because it isn't clear where this goes. it's not clear how long this fight lasts. it's not clear how you resolve it. what is the real power of the democrats to actually compel people? are they willing to go as far as susan is talking about here? or as barr joked about, this idea of handcuffs and putting people in jail. i guess there's a little congressional jail some place on the hill. but for now, this is a white house that likes to have this defiant posture. and also, i think, the zroerts, too. the republican voters. the idea that this is a place that they're under siege. >> bianna, the white house argues that the democrats are certainly trying to do a do-over on the mueller report. they say that they're no

white house officials. and, don, i just want to say about don mcgahn, he cooperated with special counsel. the privilege was already waived when he went in and talked to robert mueller. he doesn't have to listen to the white house's demands that he not come forward. he can come forward on his own, and there's no penalty at all for him coming forward. the right thing for him to do would be to come forward, tell the american people what the president ordered him to do, which was to fire bob mueller, and not go along with this lawlessness of donald trump and the people working for him. >> representative, i want to talk to you more now about the student that died and several others hospitalized after that school shooting in the denver area. you say you're running for president as the guns candidate. how are you going to put a stop to this senseless violence? >> well, don, it's saying enough is enough and trusting that there is a gun safety majority in america made up of the students and their parents and survivo

>> reporter: fred, the white house, according to sources, pressured former white house counsel don mcgahn to come out publicly and say that the president did not obstruct justice. sources tell cnn that mcgahn told special counsel robert mueller's investigators that he believed the president didn't obstruct justice. mcgahn, through his attorney, declined to announce it publicly. sources also told cnn that the president was upset about mcgahn's refusal to come out and say that publicly. this all underscores the measure that is the white house has taken to try to portray mueller's report as exonerating the president, even though it explicitly did not on the question of obstruction. an attorney though for mcgahn saying that at the time, the former white house counsel did not perceive the white house as threatening mcgahn to make that public statement. fred? >> sarah westwood, thank you so much. >>> with me now, a former federal prosecutor and cnn legal analyst. and lynn swede from the "times." being okay with the attorney general investigating joe biden. this as joe biden has his meteoric ris

take a listen. >> the white house and the department of justice is enabling the white house to try totability to the american people. saying, in effect, the president is a tyrant and dictator with no limit on his power. >> matt, back to jake's point, what are they going to do about it? what can they do about it? >> they're going to have to move as aggressively as they can in the courts. i don't think that's going to be enough. the strategy they laid out after getting the mueller report. they'll bring witnesses forward and letting the american people see them on television and hear what they have to say and judge whether or not they're being truthful. the problem is the president has completely stymied that approach by preventing witnesses from coming forward, preventing documents from being turned over. every day they're fighting over access to democraticments and witnesses, instead of whether the president broke the law or committed high crimes or created misdemeanor, they're losing the fight. it's not great for the white house to be covering things up but better than talking about t

white power! >> white power!this new kkl arks nrks isn't as powerful as the old klan. but there is an undeniable power to this image that is even more undeniable when you see it up close. i actually feel lucky. unlike most of the black people in the history of this country who have been present for a cross burning, i get to leave. >>> northern norway, it is a frozen, desolate landscape perched above the arctic circle. and for three months of the year, it is shrouded in darkness. but if you ask the people here how happy they are on a scale from one to ten -- >> i'm a nine.

people knew about it, white and black. to the public, men, women, white and black, everyone was riding into the war department. the war department had to take action. it was convoluted. they remained orderlies. so you can read this book and say, well, nothing really changed. but things did change. attention of the their higher brow spirit before they could not get the attention of the local lieutenant. now the war department, the secretary of war. president roosevelt knew who they were. so did his wife eleanor. more or less the godmother of the wac's. it did make a difference. even though these women were returned back to their duties, their grievances were heard. it did not change a lot for them automatically, that it really made a difference for other black women who were also being sent to, being transferred to other posts. , theone case in particular hospital during this case, after this case, there's a lot of memorandum between the war department and the hospital in chicago to make sure that we have a lot of women wit

he's a beggay man but white man. can have privilege at the same time. >> especially my gay black friends. what is he saying? i have no idea what he means. >> i don't know what he means either. i can tell you this, as a gay man. >> because. he is he has a certain privilege as a white man. but his gayness is part of the identity people are using to vote for him. he's a recipient of the form of identity politics as well. does he not want people to? >> that's the point. >> identity politics is a dirty word. it matters we show up as people who are voting and certainly show up as candidates through the full lens we experience and see the world. that is intersectionalty. i'm a black woman and a lesbian. what he's trying to do is flip this idea on the head. and making it less authentic. we're talking about awe then 'tis si. people look to see if buttigieg is showing up. in a way that resonates with them. >> aren't trump voters the biggest identity politic players of all? >> we talk about identity politics. referring to black

we're talking about white supremacists. to an environment that emboldens people like that guy, to give a racist symbol on television. to call people the "n" word? >> no. that guy is a loser. that guy did something enormously stupid. and that guy is paying the price. >> how long have you known donald trump? justice a while. >> i don't know if donald trump is a racist. but i know he has behaved as one as long as he has been in public life. >> what do you mean you don't know? >> i think he's a racist. but for a guy who lived in new york city, who grew up in new york city, around people of different colors and grounds and ethnicities, you would think he would have more sensitivity. >> keith? keith, keith. someone called me the "n" word and the "f" word, someone called me nigger faggot and i had to talk to nypd to talk about being assaulted in central park. living in new york city doesn't make you immune to being a racist. >> i've seen anti-semitism and sexists in new york city. but donald trump has been accustomed to different

is why the white house special counsel emmitt flood wanted to put this on the record with the white house view on, because there is this debate going on right now of whether the president can still do so since he didn't -- he didn't assert executive privilege on the mueller report. this is a brewing battle as we speak, brianna, between the white house and house democrats over this issue. brianna? >> it is, and we see the battle lines in this letter. pamela brown, great reporting. thank you so much. i want to bring in our panel to discuss this. we have laura coates, a former federal prosecutor and julian epstein, a former chief economic council and gloria borger our chief political analyst. all right. so what's the objective of having a letter like this sent from emmitt flood to bill barr? it's to memorialize something, but what's the objective here? >> well, there's a political objective, and you guys can speak to the legal objective. what they are basically saying, what emmitt flood is saying here is that the mueller report was a completely political document, that said things it did not

with the creation of whiteness, slave conversion became less threatening because whiteness rather than religious difference became the new way to justify and for slavery. what do we do with this history? i am going to try, but i don't have a the answers. i do want to make a few concluding remarks to bring this history back to the present. that of all, i will say when we as a society are increasingly aware of the lasting affects of white supremacy, it is important to think of where whiteness comes from. the believe that race is biological is really destructive because it naturalize is race and whiteness and it allows us to forget that categories like whiteness were created in order to legalize and justify inequality. we need to acknowledge that individuals, they didn't just come out, individuals made decisions that led to both protestant supremacy and to white supremacy. these concepts had a purpose when they were created. i think it is important to think about the many different meanings that religion had during this early colonial period. protestant supremacy that religion can be a so

mcgahn but the white house. nadler says he is chairing a hearing this morning and expects mcgahn to appear because he is subpoenaed. if he fails to show the committee can move to hold mcgahn in contempt. earlier this month they voted to hold attorney general william barr in contempt of congress. the full house has yet to consider that. democrats want to ask mcgahn about his comments at a special counsel claiming president trump told him to remove robert mueller. the white house says the special counsel already spent more than 30 hours interviewing mcgahn. the president says house democrats shouldn't get a do over. a federal judge ruled against the president last night. cummings has requested 10 years of the president's financial records. the white house argues the subpoena is an abuse of power. the federal judge disagrees and determined the president's accounting firm must provide those financial records to congress. >> president trump: as far as the financials are concerned. we think it's the wrong -- it's tota

the white house, the bush white house said that such key advisers the serve the president as an alter rejected that. it's possible that this could be headed to court regardless of whether or not they vote to hold don mcgahn in contempt of congress. we're told that hearing was scheduled for tomorrow morning will still forge ahead. is this one of these hearings where you have an empty chair and an empty glass of water? we've seen that weeks before. wee saw that with william barr and he failed to show up after appearing before the senate judiciary committee the day before, ed. >> ed: and we saw a bucket of chicken there and some were wondering whether it was a spectacle. we'll see how it plays out. coming up, the threat of tornados this very afternoon. oh! oh! oh! ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. oh! under seven? and you may lose weight. in the same one-year study, adults lost on ave

the white house instructs the former white house counsel don mcgahn to not turn over these records toouse judiciary committee. in this letter from the white house counsel, he says this. the white house records remain legally protected from disclosure under long-standing constitutional principles because they implicate significant executive branch confidentiality interests and executive privilege. now, according to this letter from the white house counsel, mick mulvaney, the acting chief of staff, has directed him -- has made it clear that don mcgahn is not to provide these records. now, in the letter from don mcgahn's attorney, he says there's really nothing he can do. he wants the legislative branch, congress, to cut a deal with the white house about what records can be turned over. and he said he is essentially going to be listening to his former boss. now, the democrats will say, look, the executive privilege question had been waived when don mcgahn had testified before bob mueller, when he went before him, spent 30 hours being interviewed. he was a central player, witnessed a numb

raping white women. nobody was accused of raping a white woman during the civil war in the south when the masters were fighting and male slaves were back on the plantation. trope as part of a larger white supremacist rhetorical superstructure. one of the fascinating things i figured out when making the was this was the time of america's first social media war. between thesee images of black people, thieves, liars, sample art we call it. every chapters followed by a visual essay comprised of these horrible images which we have all seen, it is called memorabilia now. lips,skin, thick red white eyes with black pupils and wild hair. these were black people eating watermelon. male and female in every exaggerated humiliating form, in which you can represent a human being. hundreds of thousands of these images are produced after the fall of reconstruction. particularly in the 1890's. lithography is invented earlier in the sentry but it becomes cheap in the 1890's. so you can widely distribute four-color images.

official, white house officials over here at the white house, and the president said this is not being done for me. this is being done for the presidency and so the president is essentially saying what his team is saying this is about protecting the interests of the presidency. but, wolf, i thought it was also interesting, you know, the way he answered my question about whether or not his administration is stonewalling the congress. at the very end i tried to ask a follow-up as to whether or not he's will and whether his team is willing to battle it out in the courts and didn't answer that question and turned to the next question at that point. one thing we should also point out he was asked about this judge's ruling earlier this afternoon that said that his longtime accountants had to turn over financial records to members of congress. wolf, the president there said that he blamed all of this, this ruling on an obama appointed judge and so, you know, that is one of his go tos when he's confronted with a ruling that goes against him and his interests and his agenda he typically blames

the white house will try to stop that as well. whatever it is, it will prolong -- it will slow down any type of momentum the democrats think they have. >> it's dangerous to get any legal analysis off twitter, i'm going to throw it to you anyway. what about the idea that the white house has already waived executive privilege by allowing don mcgahn to spend 30 hours with robert mueller contemporaneous notes about anything that went down in the sordid west wing? >> what the white house would say to that is the difference between intraand interbranch sharing. in the case of the mueller investigation, mueller was part of the executive branch, if the white house shared stuff with mueller, it stayed within the executive. in this case, you're bringing in congress, which is a different branch. and what the white house would say, is that they did not wave privilege by sharing it within its own branch. so a little bit complicated. but basically the fact that mueller ultimately was part of the justice department, the justice department answer
