white -- white mama -- black daddy -- what color baby? the point is, in three or four of those crosses, you get somebody who's black. for example, barack obama. is he black or white? black. but his mom's white. so how is he black? ally? >> because he's not white. yeah. i guess, like, if we're going to skin pigmentation i guess is like what it's getting at. >> yeah. okay. any other reasons? well, one of the things that hams in the 1660s is there's a law passed that says the condition of slavery, slave or free, is going to be a condition that's harriinheritable from yo mother. so it's whatever your mother is, that's what you are. and because there was so much more interracial contact, sexual congress rape and otherwise, between white planters and enslaved women, that the progeny produced is always going to be a slave. the other law that gets passed is that the condition of slavery is exclusive to those who were not baptized christians in their home country. not baptized christians in their home country. but since all of the, the indentured

and patricia where white supremacy is no less of a threa threat. to confront that effectively we must understand it that is the focus of today's hearing. like to recognize the distinguished ranking member opening statement afterwards take the amount of time that you need. >> thank you mr. chairman as always you is gracious to make sure we have equal time i appreciate that. 's as you know, this is the fourth in the series of white supremacy we have had a number of good exchanges diving into the fax over the course of the previous three hearings as you remember i was moved and wanted to understand the situation of the virginia a graduate that hit close to home and talking to her mother who lost her daughter down home in charlottesville i used to go as a student to see these events unfold it was important to have that conversation i think it's a friend for us to have this conversation. i would note and the chairman knows for us to have a hearing on human trafficking there's 40 million people around the world and 20000 and the united states have law en

white people are not the only white supremacists. some black people are white supremacists as well. host: texas, ben, good morning. caller: good morning. mr. bryant. guest: yes, sir. caller: i just wanted to bring to focus will we talk about these at apple police -- bad apple police, i'm reminded of about a week and a half ago, they had them on tv, a city in colorado. these three police officers stopped a black girl that was 17 and the other three, the oldest one of them was faucie now is dr. anthony joining the research america discussion on the latest science on the coronavirus pandemic. >> i'm glad to be here at have this opportunity to talk with dr. fauci.

that's what we end from the white house -- the experts on the white house task force, right?tter than any vaccine to try to give people a sense of how they are. last night the president mocked the vice president for wearing a mask. i want to play that for you, dr. casey. here he is. >> i mean, i have a mask right here. i put a mask on, you know, when i think i need it. i don't wear a mask like him. every time you see him, he's got a mask. he could be speaking 200 feet away and showed up with the biggest mask i've ever seen. >> doctor, i don't want to be political about it. i just want to ask you about the masks. when people mock masks, what do -- how does that make you feel when you know they save lives? >> as a physician who's dedicated his life to caring for others, that makes me angry because we have very few tools in our tool box right now to handle this pandemic. and the mask, in my opinion, and the opinion of a lot of other physicians, is the single most important thing we can do to stem the tide of this pandemic. those of us who work in a hospital setting are a testame

of white supremacists? why is that so difficult for this president? >> it's not difficult and he has done it many, many times. at a certain point the media has to accept yes for an answer, jake. >> he didn't do it today. >> yes, he did. he said i denounce all of that. how much more clear do you want him to be? >> all of what? >> you are one of the few who pointed out. i'm trying to give you credit here, jake. you are one of the few who pointed out the fallacy of what happened in charlottesville. he denounced white supremacists, he denounced the kkk. just last friday cnn didn't send a crew to atlanta for the president's event, but the president said he is declaring the kkk a terrorist organization. >> why now? >> joe biden had 47 years to do it and he never did it. >> president trump has been since -- >> right, less than four years compared to 47, jake. less than four years compared to 47. >> tim, can you say the words i condemn white supremacists? are you able to say that? >> sure. and the president did it.

white supremacy and white supremacists. it is stunning. now let's get back to the group mentioned during the debate, the proud boys. they have been involved in what one judge called a brawl in manhattan and several pled guilty to attempted assault during a riot. this is video of what happened. those are, you know, allegedly members of anti-fascist and now you see the guys in the red hats coming and pummeling them. several people from the proud boys were guilty or pled guilty. what the president said about the proud boys basically was an absolute gift to them. he -- what it sounded like made it a rallying cry for them. saying to stand back and stand by. and so what you see reflected in social media, you don't have to believe me. just go look at what the proud boys were saying on social media. let's pull one of those up. this is one of the reactions minutes after the president started to talk about this. yes, sir, proud boys standing by. knowing they have been involved in what one judge called political violence. it gives you this idea that

we've heard no such pronouncements from the white house. what the president has been doing almost every day in recent days now is holding these increasingly large, almost completely mask-free, no social distancing rallies, including this one that he's doing tonight right now in virginia. this crowd was gathered there for hours before the president got there. the president has just taken the stage within the last few minutes. health officials in virginia tried to stop this rally tonight because a gathering of thousands of people violates the ban in that state on large gatherings in order to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus. the campaign and the white house were totally defiant in the face of that state rule. a local director from the state health department in virginia wrote to the group hosting tonight's rally, pleading with them to cancel it for health reasons. quote, the make america great again event will draw thousands, estimates of up to 4,000 people into the city of newport news. an event of this size during the covid-19 pande

it is all they were talking about in the white house this morning. all they were talking about on his network, fox news. for him to stand there and not reject the ideology of the proud boys, the hate, the white supremacy, the misogyny, the anti-semitism. for him to not reject that and instead lie and say, i don't know who the proud boys are, how stupid does he think we are? and it is just infuriating at anybody who tries to say that what he did today somehow fixes last night. no, no, no. it makes it much worse, because he is not rejected white supremacy, he is not rejecting their violence. he is not rejecting their vigilanteism. he is not rejecting what he's willing to do for them if he crooks his little finger. that's why he's going to lose and i think he'll go off into the distance with his tail between his legs. >> i'm sorry for the time you spent drinking tea and medicating, but i need you to keep going, claire. >> well, it really is just frankly unbelievable, isn't it? how can he look into the camera and say, i don't know who the proud boys are.

he still had steve miller in the white house.he question was simple, would you condemn white supremacist groups? he still has not kwered that question. we have a problem. he's counting on these terroristic groups to protect his presidency. we are on the brink of something that we should not be looking at in this country. our democracy will not survive another term of this president. i am afraid that our democracy is being stretched to the limit and the outcome of this election must be as wide a margin as possible to send a clear, clear message from all americans, not just african-americans that racial hatred, tribalism, division should not be a part of the consideration for this presidential campaign. >> you know, gloria, the president also used last night's debate to sow distrust in the u.s. electoral process, again refusing to accept the results of the election. you heard what bob woodward was just saying, how concerned he is, how he's calling on the leadership in the house and the senate, democrats and republicans to get toget

>> free white males. >> say it again. >> free white males. they don't say males, but they say persons. free white persons. so if we look back into the 17th century and all of the racial discourse that, in many ways, this naturalization act culminates in, what we see is these two categories increasingly being constructed. so we have to ask if free white persons can become citizens of the nation, who can't? who can't become a citizen? we know who can, right? so what other types of people are? there matt. >> slaves. okay. so people who are not free who else? native americans. absolutely people who are not white, who else? women. women can become citizens but women have no voting rights. well? who is free who's not free? slave absolute slaves absolutely are not free but most white settlers the united states are going to be for how do they arrive under what condition. in addresser two. . most white settlers arrived under conditions of indenture where you essentially find your labor and say ok, in return for passage to the new world, i'm going to b

in any of your time at the white house? do you remember feeling like, hey issue think he just told a lie there. >> guest: no, not -- i thing he president -- one i things love about the president you always know where he is and i think you guys know that better than anybody. heels the most accessible president. he's always willing to take questions from the media and his own best messenger. sometimes that makes my job a little harder because he was owls there talking so you have to keep up, be on pace with him. what thing that the president did that i think so many politicians are unwilling to do is he actually was the politician -- the person that was willing to go. there willing to tell the truth on a lot of things that people were unwilling to talk about. republicans in particular. leading up to that 216 campaign -- 2016 campaign help called out the tact fact we had forgotten so many americans so long and that what his 2016 campaign was about. willing to call out the fact that both sides dropped the entail think he spent

white house the obama white house they just received the rulers law this white house is. screaming at everything is our president election campaign and then what a lot of americans. that is they are are out of justice every arba our government turning what our president little can i mean if i later a list of serious violations and it says i don't lock the american people both on and on a lot so i can't imagine what the mood is in the white house in these the types of if then i certainly wouldn't want to have in any large if. they were supporting president of the ways they think it's very dangerous. and you know you say that there are lies coming out of the white house yet the doctor found cheney who is the u.s. is tough public health official he he has said just yesterday that he does not think there was any just or sion in the communication about the pandemic from the white house test force or coming from the white house. you know you as an ethics expert what do you think dr felt she is trying to do there. i have no idea why he saying that because for the several months

they say white mama, white daddy, white baby. black mama, baghdadi, black baby. black mama, why daddy, what color baby? black. i've lost track. white mama, black daddy, what color baby? the point is in three of four of those crosses, you get someone who's black. for example, brock obama. is he black or white? black. but his mom is white, so how is he black? >> because he's not white. i guess if we are going with skin pigmentation is what it's getting at. >> okay, any other reasons? one of the things that happens in the 16 sixties is there is a lot past that says that the condition of slavery, that slavery is a condition that is heritable from the mother. so it is whatever your mother is, that is what you are. and because there was so much more interracial contact, sexual congress, rape and otherwise, between white planters and enslaved women, that the progeny produced is always going to be a slave. the other law that gets past is that the condition of slavery is exclusive to those who were not baptized christians in their home country. not baptized christians in

drawn black jesus and brown jesus and white jesus.ite clear that jesus was probably not a blue eyed blonde and there of been a lot of columns about that. how does does that, i'm sure you've heard this but what do you think about? you need to think about him in his color. ? >> i don't think about cheeses in terms of color. i think it's an awful juvenile statement to make one way or another. as a christian, the fact that he died for us and shared his blood for us, it wasn't about his skin, it was about his blood. and secondly, the bible is very clear about his background and his ethnicity and his julian stick background is quite clear according to scriptures. so this american argument where we see everything in black and white and argue back and forth about it means that we do it at the disregard of what the scriptures are very clear about. >> so when you pray, you don't think color when you prodigies us? >> i don't think color matters if you have a -- who the emt is. i don't think if you're your operating on what your doctor is. i thin

these horrendous incidents all fueled by white the premises violence -- white supremacist violence areasy for any reasonable-minded american to condemn, much less the leader of our country. and we know the fbi director has identified white supremacy as one of the greatest threats that we face inin our nation today. i'm deeply disturbed. i i ink about t how history will reflect on this momenent. yestererday was a dark day for r country. i think about 191915 whehen woow wilson screamed "birth o of a nation" ininside the white hous. over a centuryry later, that isa moment that stands out for any ordinary americann as i whitee housuse that embraced unnecessarily white supremacist rhetoric. essentially, that is what we saw yesterday. we know the proud boys are rejoicing today. we know they have taken this moment to breathe life into their movement. they are boasting about how last night has helped to energize eir base and helththem t recruit n new membe. so thiis a moment that poses a real and grave threa to blac and brown pelele in rticicul ininur country who are often the victims of racia

in 2006 the fbi released and intelligence assessment warning of quote, white supremacists come white supremacist infiltration of law enforcement. the fbi identified to make distinct problems. first, the fbi noted the problem of white supremacy as groups infiltrating law enforcement. we've seen a lot of evidence of that in the 14 years since the fbi's assessment as officers across the country have been dismissed for active membership in the kkk and other similar groups. we will hear testimony -- also identified a second problem, law enforcement officers have no formal affiliation with racist groups, but who sympathize with the racist ideology. this, too, has been in plain view in this period a resurgent racist violence across america. in 2019 a team team of investigative journalist published the plainview project which collected over 5000 postings displaying white supremacists xenophobic and violent facebook material from police officers in eight different cities. we invited the fbi to come today. the bureau refused to, claiming it has nothing to say because they have no evidence that

>> every white house has had leaks. that is not new but the level is much higher in this white house than we have seen in the past. people get excited of the proximity. some people want to drive an agenda. some people are hoping to feel important and let people know they are in the room or to settle a score so they can take them down but i think leaking is a disloyal and disgusting practice. i like to see a stopped it out see that happening in any white house. >>host: do you know who anonymous was? i don't know if you would tell us but do you suspect who it was or describe the person's role? >>guest: and i have anything hard and fast i would have announced that long ago because i don't think that type of action, i think it is cowardly if you feel so strongly then stand up and i have no problem talking about what i believe to be upfront and outspoken what my beliefs are and i will call and the person to do the same. >>host: with the atlantic story is a possible some pieces of the story were possible because you are not w

into nasa program to end white supremacy but did not. you think i did not happened or the civil rights movement and what do you think is necessary t to make this sort of natatnal shift now? >> getting into the way back machine of my memory in my lifi, i remember w when the critterr commisission rept came out step i rememberer itt - -- i it was a best-selling book. atat is whenen people had like paperbacks. he did not have e the internet r se other means o of communicicatn. the paperback book was the format and this s was aa big bok but small size report t ne by a government bipartisan commission toto explainin, to investigate d explain, analyze w why there had been s so many urban insurrection rebellions. i never c cald them riots. the otother people can c call tm riots. it why there have e been so many urban insururctions ding thatat period of thehe late 1960's. ththey came up wh ththe incncrey ininsightful conclusion n that t was white racism. itould say the reason thatt was not addrdressed atat that te is because -- - and thisis may d

like white extremist groups. this hearing is not about good officers versus bad officers, this hearing is about making sure we as a nation, acknowledge that white supremacy has no place in any police department. the idiom does not end with quote, a few bad apples. the saying is, a few bad apples spoiled a bunch. we cannot let white supremacy continue to spoil the bunch. instead, we should all condemn the behavior that chairman raskin described. i am honored to attend this hearing, it is shameful and absolutely shameful that the fbi chose to ignore the committees requests to attend. and instead disavowed their own terrifying findings, about the pervasiveness of white supremacy in police departments. i look forward to hearing from our witnesses, about their extremely important work. and i hope we remember the wise words of chairman cummings, that we are better than this. i yield back. >> madam chair thank you very much, i now want to introduce our witnesses. our first witness today, is going to be mr. german, then

it is important that the white house care because the white house can muster a whole of government response against a threat like this. the white house never did and as a result we have maimed cities that remind us how bad the threat got. charlottesville, el paso. we could go on down the list. those events happened in part because our government wasn't as focused as it should have been on the threat, wolf. >> yes. that is so disturbing. olivia, last night the president also said he did a great job responding to the coronavirus pandemic and that if biden had been in office he said 2 million people would have died. you worked there. you were on the coronavirus task force. you worked for vice president pence. should the american people believe that these more than 206,000 american deaths over these past seven months or so were inevitable? >> i mean, the president's comments last night were once again offensive to me. he is personally responsible for a lot of these deaths for the perpetuating of myths and lies he has told the american public, and his messaging. and to hear him try to campaign o

white and black. in that frothy mess, it was a political cartoon of the time of the globe just sitting in bed biting his nails and all these things were blowing around around a. said influenza was around the world. it was a real nerve-racking time. and all that, three pretty positive things for by african americans had to happen. but because they happen in this frothy chaos, they were focal points for anti black violence. soldiers being the most -- >> there's also another ingredient in this frothiness that you described and that is that over the course of the war, it started before, but it went from trickle to flood. that is, that african americans cast down their buckets and headed north. they follow the river and the rivers and railway lines to made them possible to vote with their feet as workers. so we get an actual departure of african americans from the south to northern industrial states to replace the workers who had gone off to war. >> the immigration it got off. >> but also it's important to

the white kids i grew up around in newjersey did not think of me as white and the black kids i grew up and the black kids i grew up around were as white and the black kids i grew up around were accustomed to accepting any manner of different skin tones and hair textures under the umbrella of blackness so my sense of self was rather complicated until the age of about 30 when i had moved to paris —— rather uncomplicated. i married a blonde hair, blue—eyed white french who resembled my mother in her physical characteristics, actually, in terms of blonde hair and blue eyes, and i realised if we were to have children, they very mel —— they very well may not physically present as black. thomas i will stop you because this is fascinating and i want to go through piece piece so if i take you back and rewind until you are a kid growing up in newjersey, i believe, you say that you could identify with the black kids around you in the neighbourhood but what you missed out on that story is what your parents actually told you, because you have your black father and white mother. what do they tell yo

>> next on booktv's "after words" yale university professor edward ball looks at white white supremacy through the lens of his great, great grandfather, a live of the ku klux klan in louisiana following the civil war. .. how low, edward ball. it's a delight to meet you. >> good to see you, to. >> i feel like i know you from reading your book. i am going to dive in. you received -- from your aunt. tell the audience what it was. >> when i was a boy in new orleans in the late 1960s, i had an aunt named maude who was an elderly retired schoolteacher. she was a family historian and my mother's family. she was the keeper among others of our clansmen. she had some papers and files and she had a way of speaking about our family history that was like this. the one to remember is our clansmen, my grandfather. he was a redeemer. the redemption returned in new orleans after they had been dislodged. and if you had not battled liberty place, we would not be here today. when she died, her papers went to my mother. this is now decades later her files came to me. this is how i rediscovered the story of

shwas very heavily lobbied for in the white house by key white house officials including a white house chief of staff mark meadows and counsel pat sibaloni and heavily promoted by senate republicans, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who will be steering so much of this process on capitol hill, was confident with judge barrett. she is a known cmodity. not only has she been confirmed, she had become kind of this rising rock star among conservatives because after her brutal confirmation fight for her current circuit cot seat, and a lot of senate republicans had been privately pushing judge barrett for some time. they have seen her as the perfect candidate for the ruth bader ginsburg vacancy. someone who really ds excite the -- their base, conservative voters. and they seem to think -- they know it's going to be a bruising fight but this is on nominee that they're happy t put it all on the line for. robert: carl, will leader mcconnell be able to get this done by election day? carl: yeah. that's the big question surrounding all of this. the time line is pretty tight. and as we've seen

it was like i had white privilege by asking this is how i felt that i was accepted it because i had white parents next to me but it all changed when i went to college and left the home and all the sudden i'm just a black person and i went to a predominantly black. college and university and so are predominantly white college and so people around are like i don't understand rate has this college where you hear that kind of thing even though that's what i grew up with and that's what i knew. we're getting some you tube comments in here one's from tiffany eunice this is nicole's book was amazing she articulated. she articulated things i've experienced as trans racial adoptee it was amazing so you're really speaking to people out there nicole i want to bring in a voice from our community this is in a yates and she's a foster mom is about to go through with a trans racial. and the foster parents to be empathic care from kona hawaii and in the middle of a controlled option. and a white that i stand i have felt horrible and killed in the fall before mary felt felt that i was reading another woma

and white men are in charge. and i can't really explain the logic because it just makes no sense to me. so i find it baffling, but clearly his repeated divisive language, the fear that he stirs up, it allows -- to feel like they are allowed to be bold about their presence, and it actually increases recruitment to their cause. that fear and that division is often a root place where people start in the radicalization process. they have some sort of trigger or some sort of grievance that they feel is not being addressed by whatever the authority figures are in their life, and this process of finding belonging in other people who have bitterness and hatred, it allows them to radicalize. now, look, you can have radical and extreme in the united states and it's legal. the concern i had as a counter terrorism professional is historically, this right wing extremist group tends to be the ones that carry out acts of violence. and it doesn't take very many people when you start expanding that pool, when you allow that recru

as a white passenger, i look at this portion of the car and say, these are nice, large seats.'m quite comfortable here. i can look out the windows and enjoy a smoke free atmosphere because when i get back here, i've got room to store my large luggage. i don't have to keep it on my lap and i've got a restroom with a lounge that allows for smoking out of the main car and they -- and a fairly large restroom that is quite accommodating for passengers. but if i were an african-american passenger, i would walk into this section and take a look and say these seats are fine but there's no place to store my luggage other than a small overhead rack. if i have a large bag, i have to keep it with me on my lap or at my feet. i look around and see there's no other accommodations except a very small toilet area with no lounge. in other words, it's a much different experience for long-distance travel for african-americans and clearly an inferior experience. when the supreme court of the united states announced separate but equal was inherently equal -- unequal in american education in the bro

evangelical christians who have been silent and as you say a lot of the white evangelical christiansow this from talking to people about the issue are afraid to speak up, is that the bottom line for you that you cannot be a good christian and stay silent? >> i think there is a mandate, the jesus of the spirit of the lord god is upon to preach to the brokenhearted and divide up the wounds of the brokenhearted, i don't think you can see someone bleeding and walk across the other side of the street and say you are christian like, having said that i do supervise or empathize with white christians who have tried to say something and really ended up sticking their foot in the mouth and encourage them to keep talking, there will be criticism, you're not going to get it right at first were having a very difficult conversation that several hundred years old and i would rather you break the silence and say something wrong then not say anything at all and act like you don't see the innocent killings of our people, that you don't see that we can't go jogging, that you do not see that were not sa

when it comes to the issue of white privilege in raising 2 black children as a white person it's complicated because right now when they're young they are protected kind of in a bubble of my way privileged when we go out and about together but i know that it will not always be this way especially as they get older and so we do a lot of talking about these issues we talk about racism in america we talk about the realities of being a black person in america how we teach them to be proud of who they are and to live fearlessly. and these things are hard to talk about and it's heartbreaking to expose them to the realities of these issues in this country and it's necessary because i'm hoping that what we're teaching them today will help them survive as they get older and on the back of that we have a comment from someone in our community kelly left on you tube right now as a white adoptive period how can i respond to the inappropriate questions in public like where she from or here touches such or to a fur my daughter. yeah. and so i find it so important that we center at doppies and that adoptive

his associates with white men and white tennis. jonathan: on ask about this. real revelation to me reading your book. his father seem to be have a major factor for stephen and his childhood to begin to shift the sense of identification and comes from a family of jewish refugees to identify with this white minority under siege. tell us about his father. he must've, he began telling of a moderate democrat who at the time, for personal reasons. conflict of person . series of lawsuits, with partners and family and that since of equipment, while very personal, ended up maybe for stephen, being that escape wagon to a broader sense of rage and anger. tell us about his father . speech of soap is data, this is when his father start to rail against the ridiculous liberal elites . missing him start to express conservative viewpoints what is real estate company is falling apart reading getting sued by his fought brother and former law firm. and unsuccessfully and having all of these bankruptcies that he was dealing with and being forced to move from a very affluent part o

he's at the white house? using his stanford credentials to try to shine up his reputation here and the president's bragging on that all the time i mean, so warned scott atlas' former colleagues from the medical school from which he's no longer affiliated with. and, by the way, he was radiologist, not somebody who actually worked on infectious diseases, before the white house plucked him from obscurity/fox news to bring him into the white house to run the response to an infectious disease epidemic, something on which he has zero expertise. so these things are coming together in the news right? caputo today is out as the trump guy, riding herd on the cdc, his so-called science adviser has been exposed by the academic institution he tried to associate him with meanwhile, the white house top covid doctor is also exposed by his former colleagues at the institution the white house has tried to associate him with, but this isn't a personnel story what this is about now, thanks to the president being unable to contai

fear and white anxiety. as in california. they became an increasingly diverse place. there there's no third world takeover. they begin to celebrate multiculturalism and realized the strength that it brings to the table. we will see that over the next few decades and generations with people who are going to be increasingly mixed. i do think we will see tribalism drive down nationally. the way in california. in california there is still a way of white nationalist movement. not sure it will ever go away. i'm optimistic that i'm not can it take over the country. one final question for me as you near the end. the pandemic has allowed them to do all sorts of things. on the immigration front. given what you know both about miller's thinking in maneuvering inside the white house. on how dhs has changed under miller's pressure. what sorts of things and give you concern what sorts of areas and immigration policy should the public be paying attention to. they are martin have on immigration policy. what should people be

people who have worked at the white house say the white house medical office is so well equipped that white house medical staff can handle on site all but the most serious incidents without a president ever having to be rushed off campus from the white house to a hospital. but rushed he was that saturday afternoon in mid-november. what was that all about? >>> well, tomorrow this book comes out. it's called "donald trump v. the united states: inside the struggle to stop a president." it's by two-time pulitzer prize-winning "new york times" report michael schmidt. and we get a little bit of a hint about what might have happened there on page 389. quote, either the constitution meant something and was worth defending, or it wasn't, pelosi contended. the senate would almost certainly not convict, but that wasn't the point. this was for the record and for history. the whistle-blower on the ukraine matter had accomplished what everyone before him had failed to do. he'd stopped president trump in his tracks and had him on the path to being impeached. two months later on a saturday afternoon

i want to bring in cnn white house correspondent. standing by as i go back and forth with my colleague chris cuomo. thank you for your patience. president is in north carolina tonight and once again encouraging supporters to cast two ballots. what is going on? >> despite the push back we saw from state officials even from republicans saying do not go and try to vote twice, the president is continuing up with the encouragement for voters. explaining it once again in north carolina. the state where he first made the remarks. he is telling people if they fill out an absentee. they should go to the polling place on election day and check to make sure the vote is counted. of course that can cause complications in states where they don't count votes until election day. and north carolina where you can track the absentee ballot to make sure it's received. and of course election officials in north carolina have said do not g to the polling place on election day. that really just defeats the purpose of voting by mail. prevent you from being i

if you're the white house counsel, there's no other white house counsel to call. it's just you and the president. i try to tell the story of somewhat that's like. i thought that is the most unique thing i could find in the trump era. >> i think what you have is the first of what will be many volumes of people telling authors what they were doing to save the country from president trump while they were working inside. that's what you heard from pretty much nixon operative who didn't go to prison. you would be hearing for decades later in washington what they were doing. some of them it's real. don mcgahn, we see in the mueller investigation exactly some of these things that you laid out and how he refused to go through with the firing of mueller. but this book is a remarkable, a remarkable account of life inside that white house, and this book has taken on its own life inside that white house today. michael schmidt, thank you very much for joining us tonight. we really appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you. >>> and when we come back, plouffe will joi

i become white. i do not want to become white. i want to grow up. and so should you. thank you. [applause] tom: with the death of malcolm x and dr. king, black america lost some black leaders. with the shift to politics in corporate america, is this a positive change in the right direction? mr. baldwin: i'm not sure what they mean by corporate america, and what that has to do with human freedom or democracy. a change in the right direction, i think the future is not as simple as americans would like to think. i am not convinced a machine will resolve many problems. we have to confront that but i think if we do not share the earth, we are going to blow it up. i think we have to rethink everything we think is true now, because it will not be true tomorrow. a future that is coherent and safe, but the moral choice we have yet to make does not guarantee anyone in this room has a future. the only way we can accommodate ourselves to that create our re-create our to vocabulary, which includes the human race.

the white house relies on a document created by rosenstein as the white house's rationale for the dismissalards. he says a lot of unusual things. mccabe and these investigators eventually sit down in this period of time and open up this investigation, and they believe -- mccabe believes by opening it, he will be protecting it, that he will be creating a paper trail, and he's pushing rosenstein to appoint a special counsel. he's saying, we need a special counsel. if we had had one in the clinton email case, we would be on much different footing. this needs to happen. and rosenstein goes ahead, and he appoints mueller. and mccabe thinks it's one of the greatest accomplishments of his life. here he has opened up these investigations, and bob mueller, one of the great heroes of the post-9/11 era, is going to take these over, and he will be a safe steward for these investigations. and mccabe goes, and he briefs mueller on these investigations, and he assumes for the remainder of his time as the deputy fbi director, which lasts for several more months, that mueller has taken these over and will d

the white house says he's trying to profit from lies. as cohen has made the tv rounds, he's treated as a star witness. rachel millio maddow got her sed highest rating ever from her interview you. >> the power he has has gone to his head. he wants to be an autocrat, he wants to be the president of this country for life, just like putin and kim jong un. howie: while a couple hosts challenged his credibility, others rationalized it. >> if people don't want to believe michael cohen, the problem with saying that you doubt him is that he was trump's bad guy and who else would know the dirt donald trump was doing than the guy who held the shovel for all of those years. howie: turns out michael cohen secretly taped conversations with cnn president jeff zucker who is drawing media flak for his friendly comments about candidate trump in 2016. on the tapes, some of which were aired by fox's tucker carlson, cohen said he didn't leak them, they were joking that ted cruz would call trump a con man in an upcoming debate. zucker crossed the line by offe

slave owning whites. it was a predominantly non stable area. we talked about plantations. here we have johnson, he is a man who is a staunch unionist, he said i'm going to make treason odious. people think he's going to be hard on those southern sections. i will be your moses. lincoln never said that. right? i will be your moses, i will lead to freedom. the republicans had also taken a risk, but johnson was a huge disappointment. he was a staunch state right democrat. he was never really part of the republican party. but his state right democratic roots are very strong. and he is very reluctant to use federal policy or force, black rates certainly. or to have any federal part in reconstructing the south. what is interesting about johnson is he is a staunch racist. and this comes out during his reticence-y. he cannot even contemplate about black people as equals. he is southern, he is whites, he hates the pontiff office. the pro-southern why but it is like black people even more we look at the policies of

as to condemn white groups like the proud boys, called hard-core white sprex sifts by the antidefamation league, president trump demurred and then said proud boys, stand back and stand by. stand back and stand by. president obama once wondered rhetorically how hard is it to say that nazis are bad? apparently for president trump, it's beyond his capacity. in a national debate, he not only refused to condemn a far-right group of violent white supremacists, he told them to stand by. as much of the country was in despair last night at the president's juvenile behavior, one group was celebrating -- the proud boys. that's who was celebrating president trump's debate performance. white supremacists within minutes of the president's comments the proud boys were online rejoicing at the tacit endoorsment of their violent tactics by the president himself. they made logos out of the president's remarks -- stand back and stand by. i just want to ask my republican colleagues how are you not embarrassed that president trump represents your party? how can you possibly, possibly support anyone who behave

it depends on how it gets responded to by the white house.e president can legitimize and raise things when he hits the twitter machine. it also matters how people are grabbling with the issues reported on in the book. for instance, if the book is just telling us it's a deadly disease. we know. we lost almost 200,000 americans. we already know we are grabble ing without a vaccine on the horizon that we are struggling to know what is next. there is a little bit for everybody. does it change anything for the voter? i think it's impossible to say. i doubt it. >> okay. we are going to squeeze in a quick break. no we are going to harris's new show. tanks. we will continue our coverage. >> harris: you are the best partner in the world. i will take it now. it's chippy off the top. we were waiting for this event to start and given a. two warning two minutes ago. we want to keep that blue door to the left of the screen in view. the white press secretary kayleigh mcenany will walk through it. there will be a number of

the white males of the southern states. and as i mentioned before, they volunteered -- ultimately some of them were conscripted but volunteering so that more white men of military age turn out to fight for the confederacy than for any other war in american history. so would the war had turned out differently had it ended up quickly? would it have been a war for emancipation, no, it would not have. but it was not in the cards. both ran head on into a deeply rooted popular movement that was far more powerful than either side counted on, and that's what opened the door for having the war become a war for freedom and emancipation. it didn't happen right away. and when it does happen in september 1862 with the emancipation -- the preliminary emancipation proclamation, you're quite right. lincoln has the situation in britain very much in mind. he suspects correctly this will help to at least appease british public opinion at the time when many of the cotton mills in britain were running desperately short of caught mchb and there

it calls for disruption within the white house. this is probably the most, in terms of individuals, paranoid, backstabbing white house we have there hasse i think been a huge breakdown in the hiring process there. it's not surprising to me to hear from trump callers -- trump voters to call in and say one of the biggest disappointments is the draining of the swamp. i don't think the president necessarily agreed with everyone that works in his white house, policies, what the agenda of the white house is, the messaging is coming from people who are not necessarily trump, who i think have radically different visions for the white house and president. a veryink that's important observation. i think that is absolutely true and i can understand her frustration. it's frustration held by a lot of voters and supporters from trump. host: a couple minutes left of joe simonson this morning, washington examiner political reporter. if you're interested in his takes, you can find him on twitter and washington examiner. try to get in linda, who has

>> i think the white house, the people that work in the white house have cast their lot with the president and i believe they're going to continue to cast their lot with the president up until the point that they no longer can cast their lot with the president. i think it's up to the republicans to come forward at some point in time and to stand up for you know the constitutional rights of everyone and what the constitution says. i have to tell you, jim, i thought that was a fairly simple question. i thought it would be, have a fairly simple answer. okay, i'm going to follow the rule of law. i was a little shocked i got the answer that i did and the fact that it is a controversy with this president is sobering for all of us and should make usual think. >> brian, your podcast is aptly titled, just ask the question. thank goodness you did ask the question and press again to try to get the answer. what i wonder is how many mitt romneys and liz cheney and a congressman from ohio who all basically said, no, no, no, no, no, this is so clear on the constitution, don't go there, mr. president. but

in fact they are killed less than white americans are per encounter.e attention of the police in america and they draw their guns on you, your chances of being shot appear to be slightly higher if you are white, at the moment. and that breaks everyone's expectations. this is fascinating because it gets to the heart of your intellectual approach to lots of things. you are a self—proclaimed rationalist and say you are determined to be driven by the evidence, by the data, by the science and not by emotion and still less by things such as religion or any other faith—based belief system. so evidence does matter. but if you look across the piece, you have alighted on one piece of evidence but surely there is an overwhelming tract of evidence about incarceration rates, what happens to black kids in school, what happens to black people in employment, how many jobless black people there are. there is clearly a story in america of systemic discrimination which black people are saying, right now, they will no longer tolerate without expressing their anger. and wh

house, we are awaiting that signing ceremony on the white house south lawn. these are the live pictures. it's a diplomatic agreement, an historic agreement between israel, the united arab emirates, and israel and bahrain. right now prime minister netanyahu is in the oval office with the president he's been holding a series of individual meetings with the two foreign ministers from the arab countries and with prime minister netanyahu who of course owes president trump a great deal for having done major things for israel just before his most recent two hard-fought neck and neck elections including recognizing israel's sovereignty over the disputed golan heights. as you see, there's pictures of the arrival of prime mince benjamin netanyahu, sarah netanyahu, earlier this hour at the white house west wing, with of course the first lady and president trump. and before the signing ceremony begins, joining us now nbc white house correspondent peter alexander, "new york times" chief white house correspondent peter baker, and jeffrey goldberg, editor in chief of "the a
