"DEADLINE: WHITE HOUSE" WITH NICOLE WALLACE STARTS RIGHT NOW.
>>> HI, EVERYONE.
IT’S 4:00 IN NEW YORK.
IS THE COUNTRY GRAB LG WITH AN
EQUIVOCATION HANGOVER.
EQUIVOCATION HANGOVER. DONALD TRUMP’S DENUNCIATION OF
ANTI-SEMITISM AFTER A DEADLY
SHOOTING THIS WEEKEND, COMES
AMID A DAYS LONG REGURGITATION
OF HIS RESPONSE TO
CHARLOTTESVILLE IN 2017.
SATURDAY’S ATTACK AT A SYNAGOGUE
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS BEING
INVESTIGATED AS A HATE CRIME.
ONE WORSHIPPER WAS KILLED, THREE
OTHERS INJURED.
OTHERS INJURED. THE SHOOTING COMBINED WITH JOE
BIDEN’S BRINGING UP PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S DESCRIPTION OF FINE
PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
CHARLOTTESVILLE PROTESTS, IS
BRINGING A QUESTION TO THE RISE
OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM IN
AMERICA.
AMERICA. FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS TEAM ARE ON
THE OFFENSIVE, DRAWING THEM INTO
A DEBATE OVER ONE OF THE LOWEST
POINTS OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY.
ONE HIS SENIOR ADVICER KELLYANNE
CONWAY NOW DESCRIBES AS NEAR
PERFECT.
PERFECT. >> WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP
CONDEMNED RACISM, BIGOTRY, EVIL,
VIOLENCE AND CALLED OUT
NEO-NAZIS, WHITE SUPREMACIST,
THAT IS DARN NEAR PERFECTION
WHEN YOU’RE CALLING OUT KKK,
NEO-NAZIS AND YOU’RE SAYING
THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE THAT
HADN’T SIGNED UP FOR THAT --
>> YOU KNOW PRESIDENT TRUMP LEFT
ENOUGH --
ENOUGH -- >> ALL NEO-NAZIS, ALL
ANTI-CHRISTIANITY, ALL
ANTI-CHRISTIANITY, ALL ANTI-SEMITISM SHOULD BE
CONDEMNED, DEAD STOP FULL.
THAT’S THE PERFECT RESPOND.
>> EXCEPT IT WASN’T.
IN FACT, PRESIDENT TRUMP
REPEATEDLY HEDGED IN HIS
CONDEMNATION OF THE WHITE
SUPREMACISTS WHO INCITED THE
VIOLENCE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE BY
PLACING BLAME ON BOTH SIDES.
THIS HOUR WE’RE WATCHING THE
CANDIDATE SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON
THAT RHETORIC.
THAT RHETORIC. VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IN
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA.
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA. HE’S TAKING THE STAGE ANY MINUTE
FOR A CAMPAIGN RALLY.
WE’LL BRING YOU ANY RESPONSE TO
THE PRESIDENT’S ANTI-SEMITISM
AND HATE RHETORIC.
BUT FIRST WE’RE AT THE TABLE
WITH OUR FAVORITE JOURNALISTS
AND FRIENDS.
AND FRIENDS. I’VE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
THIS, BECAUSE WE -- YOU’VE BEEN
AROUND THE TABLE -- YOU’VE BEEN
HERE FOR THE MOST CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT THE TRAUMA OF THAT
CHARLOTTESVILLE MOMENT.
CHARLOTTESVILLE MOMENT. NOT JUST FOR THE COUNTRY, NOT
JUST FOR COMMUNITIES OF FAITH,
BUT FOR THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF,
THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF WE NOW
KNOW WAS ROCKED BY THE
PRESIDENT’S RESPONSE TO
CHARLOTTESVILLE.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. SOME OF THEM VISIBLY SO.
HIS FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN
KELLY GRIMACED WHEN THE COMMENTS
WAS MADE.
WAS MADE. WE KNOW IN SOME OF THE REPORTING
THAT CAME OUT, HIS FORMER
ECONOMIC ADVISER GARY COHEN
THREATENED TO RESIGN THAT DAY.
I KNOW ON THE PHONE I SAID WHO
QUITS AND THEY GAVE ME THE 400
REASONS THEY COULDN’T.
BUT TO HEAR KELLYANNE CONWAY
CALL IT PERFECT IS STUNNING.
>> IT’S DISTURBING.
I’M GOING TO GO UP TO 30,000
FEET ON THIS.
WHAT WE’VE SEEN IS A RISE OF
WHITE NATIONALIST, WHITE SUPREME
SCHISM AROUND THE GLOBE.
THIS GRIEVANCE THAT THESE WHITE
FOLKS HAVE, THE GENOCIDE OF THE
WHITE, YOU KNOW, RACE IS WHAT
THEY TALK ABOUT.
AND WHAT TRUMP DOES IS
UNFORTUNATELY HE PRIMES THE
PUMP.
PUMP. I BELIEVE THAT HE INVENTED THAT
EXPRESSION, REMEMBER THAT?
BUT HE -- HIS LANGUAGE INCREASES
THE DEVOTION TO THAT COMMUNITY
AND WHAT IT IS TOO WHAT WE SAW
BECAUSE WE FOUGHT THE EXTREMISM
FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT, THE
FLIP SIDE OF THE SAME COIN, THE
GRIEVANCE.
GRIEVANCE. SO THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF,
ANYBODY WHO’S RATIONAL AND MORAL
HAS TO BE DEPRESSED ABOUT THAT.
>> LET ME BACK UP BECAUSE THIS
PROVOCATIVE THING TO SAY BECAUSE
IT’S BACKED UP BY THE FACTS AND
THE WORDS OF THE WHITE
SUPREMACISTS.
SUPREMACISTS. HERE’S DAVID DUKE WHO SAYS,
AFTER CHARLOTTESVILLE.
AFTER CHARLOTTESVILLE. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, FOR
YOUR HONESTY AND COURAGE TO TELL
THE TRUTH ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE
AND CONDEMN THE LEFTIST
TERRORISTS.
TERRORISTS. AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT,
AND THIS WAS I THINK ONE OF
TODD’S MOST POWERFUL MESSAGES
WHEN HE RAN UNSUCCESSFUL IN
FLORIDA.
FLORIDA. I’M NOT CALLING YOU A RACIST,
I’M SAYING THE RACISTS THINK
YOU’RE WITH THEM.
DOG WHISTLES HAVE BEEN A NASTY
UNDERBELLY OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY SADLY FOR A LONG TIME.
I HAVE TWO HUNTING DOGS, DOG
WHISTLES ARE SILENT TO THE HUMAN
EAR.
EAR. THESE ARE MEGA PHONES.
>> YES, AND WE HAVE SEEN THIS
FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TIME AND
TIME AGAIN.
TIME AGAIN. WHETHER IT’S CHARLOTTESVILLE OR
WEAPONIZING NFL PLAYERS KNEELING
DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN
PROTEST OF UNARMED BLACK MEN
BEING KILLED BY POLICE OFFICERS
IN THIS COUNTRY.
HE DOESN’T TALK ABOUT OR EXPRESS
THE UNDERLYING REASONS FOR THESE
PROTESTS.
PROTESTS. INSTEAD HE USES IT TO CREATE AND
IDENTIFY AND CARICATURE AND DRAG
INTO THIS BATTLE ANY TYPE OR
FORM OF ENEMY.
MONTHS AGO HE’S A NATIONALIST,
RIGHT.
RIGHT. AND THERE ARE OTHER FOLKS IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY SAYING WHEN DID
NATIONALIST BECOME A BAD WORD OR
DIRTY WORD.
DIRTY WORD. IT’S AS IF THEY DON’T TAKE THE
TIME TO UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS.
MAYBE YOU CAN ARGUE IT’S FINE IN
THEIR FREE TIME.
WHEN THINGS LIKE CHARLOTTESVILLE
HAPPEN OR WE HAVE MULTIPLE
SHOOTINGS AT SYNAGOGUES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF WHITE
SUPREMACIST WHO ARE WRITING
THESE CRAZY, DANGEROUS
MANIFESTOS THAT ARE SPEWING THE
SAME WHITE SUPREMACIST IDEOLOGY,
THEY SHOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY,
RATHER THAN WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
DID, WHICH IS BASICALLY
DIMINISHING THEIR PRESENCE, IT’S
A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH
CRAZY VALUES.
CRAZY VALUES. >> THIS WAS HIS RESPONSE AFTER
THE TRAGEDY IN NEW ZEALAND.
IT WOULD SEEM THAT RUSSIA IS THE
EXISTENTIAL FOREIGN ADVERSARY
THAT’S BANGING ON OUR DOOR, OR
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY’RE IN
OUR HOUSE, AND DONALD TRUMP SAYS
INANE THINGS LIKE HE DID IN
HELSINKI, PUTIN DENIED IT AND I
BELIEVE HIM.
BELIEVE HIM. AND THE OTHERWISE INEXPLICABLE
OF RUSSIA, THEIR INVASION OF
AFGHANISTAN AND WHATNOT.
IT WOULD SEEM THE DOMESTIC
PARALLEL IS AROUND THESE ISSUES.
HERE’S CHRISTOPHER WRAY
TESTIFYING TO THE THREAT TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT OF WHITE NATIONALISM
NATIONALISM.
NATIONALISM. >> THE DANGERS OF WHITE
SUPREMACIST, OR VIOLENT
EXTREMISM IS, OF COURSE,
SIGNIFICANT.
SIGNIFICANT. WE ASSESS THAT IT’S A
PERSISTENT, PERVASIVE THREAT.
>> DO YOU SEE TODAY WHITE
NATIONALISM AS A RISING THREAT
AROUND THE WORLD?
>> I DON’T REALLY.
I THINK IT’S A SMALL GROUP OF
PEOPLE THAT HAVE VERY, VERY
SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
SERIOUS PROBLEMS. >> YOU CAN SEE CHRIS WRAY, THE
CURRENT FBI DIRECTOR AT ODDS NOW
WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP.
AND THE SAME WAY DAN COATS, HIS
CIA DIRECTOR AND OTHER FOLKS ARE
AT ODDS WITH HIM AND REMAIN SO
WITH RUSSIA.
WITH RUSSIA. >> YES.
>> YES. FIRST OF ALL RUSSIA AND WHITE
NATIONALISM IN THE UNITED STATES
ARE NOT UNRELATED.
RUSSIA LOVES TO FAN THIS STUFF.
WHEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS,
THE TROLL BOTS ARE OUT IN FULL
FORCE.
FORCE. THERE IS ANY NUMBER OF RUSSIAN
AGENTS TRYING TO FAN THIS.
THEY SEE THIS AS THE ACHILLE’S
HEEL OF AMERICAN LIFE AND SEE
DONALD TRUMP AS AN IMPORTANT
AGENT IN EXACERBATEING THAT
DIVIDE, WHICH I THINK HE HAS
DONE THROUGH DOG WHISTLES OR
SUSINGT CLI IN SOME CASES.
IT’S UNCLEAR TO ME WHETHER HE
WERE SITTING HERE OR KELLYANNE
CONWAY WERE SITTING HERE THEY
WOULD SAY HELSINKI OR
CHARLOTTESVILLE WERE MISTAKES.
IT SEEMS THAT AMBIGUITY IS
SOMETHING THEY’RE CONTENT TO SIT
WITH.
WITH. >> ONE OF THE THINGS I TALK
ABOUT IN MY BOOK WHAT THE RUSSIA
RUSSIANS DID DURING THE
ELECTION.
ELECTION. PUTIN’S ADVISERS TALK ABOUT THEM
BEING THE LAST WHITE CHRISTIAN
STATE.
STATE. THEY SUPPORT A LOT OF THESE
FOLKS ON FORTUNE AND GAB AND
THESE PLACES WITH CONTENT THEY
ARE GENERATING THEMSELVES OR
UNDER PSEUDONYMS FROM RUSSIANS
WHO PRETEND TO BE AMERICANS WHO
SUPPORT WHITE NATIONALIST
VIEWPOINTS.
VIEWPOINTS. >> I THINK THAT ALSO CONNECTS
WITH A BROADER PROBLEM WHICH IS
THAT OF RADICALIZATION.
WE’RE SEEING, VERY MUCH LIKE YOU
SEE ISIS FIGHTERS BECOME
RADICALIZED IN THE WEST BY
CONSUMING INFORMATION ONLINE,
PEOPLE ARE SELF-RADICALIZEING IN
THIS COUNTRY AND CARRYING OUT
THESE HATEFUL ATTACKS.
IT’S ALL CONNECTED.
IT’S CONNECTED TO THE RUSSIA
STUFF, THE DOG WHISTLES THAT
BECOME MEGAPHONES.
BECOME MEGAPHONES. AND OVER YEARS LAW ENFORCEMENT
HAS HAD A BLAH SAY FAIR
ATTITUDES TOWARDS WHITE
NATIONALIST GROUPS --
>> WHY IS THAT?
>> I THINK THERE WAS TREMENDOUS
OVERREACH DURING THE CLINTON
ADMINISTRATION.
ADMINISTRATION. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF TRAGIC
EVENTS AND THERE WAS A FEELING
THAT THEY HAD GONE TOO FAR IN
TARGETING THESE GROUPS AND THERE
WAS A TREMENDOUS PULL BACK.
WE’VE DONE SOME REPORTING ABOUT
THIS.
THIS. IN THE CURRENT CLIMATE, THERE’S
ZERO APPETITE FOR RAMPING UP
ENFORCEMENT OR INVESTIGATIONS OR
GATHERING INTELLIGENCE ABOUT
THESE GROUPS.
THESE GROUPS. >> WHY?
>> WHY? >> WHY DO YOU THINK?
IT’S POLITICALLY UNPALATABLE.
>> HOW CAN THAT BE?
HOW CAN WE BE -- THE MUELLER
REPORT IN TRUMPLAND HAS BEEN
CHALKED UP TO TOTAL AND COMPLETE
EXONERATION.
EXONERATION. WHEN THE VAST MAJORITY OF IT,
DONALD TRUMP CAN STAND UP AND
SAY NEVER AGAIN ON MY WATCH.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN CRIMINALLY
EXONERATED, I’M NOT SURE THAT
SALLY YATES WOULD AGREE WITH
THAT.
THAT. BUT THE RUSSIANS HAVE NOT.
THIS IS WHERE REPUBLICANS TAKE
TO THEIR GRAVE THE MOST SHAME.
>> IT GOES TO LEGITIMACY.
THERE WAS THAT EPISODE LAST WEEK
WITH KIRSTJEN NIELSEN AND THE
CONVERSATIONS WITH MICK MULVANEY
HOW YOU CANNOT BRING THIS ISSUE
TO THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE SEES
IT AS A THREAT TO HIS LEGITIMACY
LEGITIMACY.
LEGITIMACY. THAT’S WHERE THE CONVERSATION
ENDS WITH HIM.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO SEE HIS
VICTORY TAINTED IN ANY WAY.
SO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IS TO SAY
THAT.
THAT. >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. I THINK -- I AGREE WITH THAT
COMPLETELY BECAUSE HE’S NOT
TAKING SERIOUSLY THIS ISSUE OF
ELECTION SECURITY AND
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE
UPDATED IN THIS COUNTRY.
BUT IT’S THE SAME THING WE HEARD
FROM HIM DURING THE ELECTION IN
WHICH HE WAS VERY MUCH IN FAVOR
OF ABOLISHING THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE BECAUSE IT’S A POLITICAL
STUNNED.
STUNNED. >> IT’S RIGGED.
>> NOW IT’S HIS FAVORITE THING
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT AFFORDED HIM
THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> IN SOME WAYS THE TRAGIC
SHOOTING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
AND THE PRESIDENT’S MORE ROBUST
THAN USUAL RESPONSE TO THAT IS
HALF THE REASON WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. BUT I WOULD POZSIT HIS RESPONSE
IS BECAUSE HE’S ON HIS HEELS
BECAUSE JOE BIDEN LAUNCHED THE
VIDEO REMINDING PEOPLE OF THIS
RESPONSE TO CHARLOTTESVILLE.
>> I THINK THAT’S RIGHT.
THAT’S A GAUNTLET THROWN DOWN.
IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER
THAT’S GOING TO BE A WINNING
STRATEGY.
STRATEGY. I THINK PEOPLE ARE ASKING IS
BIDEN MAKING A MISTAKE GOING
DIRECTLY AFTER TRUMP RATHER THAN
TALKING ABOUT THE POCKETBOOK
ISSUES THAT OTHER DEMOCRATS HAVE
EMBRACED.
EMBRACED. BUT I THINK THAT CLEARLY TRUMP
SEES BIDEN AS A FORMIDABLE
OPPONENT AND THIS IS A VERY,
VERY STRONG CARD TO LAY DOWN AT
THIS POINT IN THE RACE.
>> ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. REPUBLICANS LET THE MEDIA KILL
THEM, DEMOCRATS EAT THEIR OWN.
DO YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT?
JEB BUSH DIED BECAUSE TRUMP WENT
AFTER HIM.
AFTER HIM. IT’S INTERESTING TO ME.
IT WOULD SEEM TO ME, IF I WERE A
DEMOCRAT, WHO KNOWS HOW IT’S
GOING TO END UP, BUT I’D BE GLAD
THAT THE PRESIDENT IS ON THE
DEFENSIVE, RELITIGATING, CALLING
PERFECT -- HE DID SOME FOX
INTERVIEWS I THINK OVER THE LAST
48 HOURS WHERE HE TOO DESCRIBED
HIS RESPONSE AS PERFECT.
THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THE WHITE
HOUSE THOUGHT WAS PERFECT AT THE
TIME.
TIME. >> NO.
>> NO. THIS IS WHAT HE DOES, THOUGH.
YOU CAN HAVE THE CONVERSATION
ABOUT HOW HE DOESN’T -- HE NEVER
APOLOGIZES AND ALL THAT.
AS FAR AS BIDEN GOES, THIS IS
JOE BIDEN, IT’S AN EMOTIONAL
ISSUE FOR HIM, HE IS NOT A
POLICY GUY.
POLICY GUY. THIS IS NOT -- HE’S NOT GOING TO
GET INTO THE WEEDS ON
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND THAT --
IT’S ALSO AN EMOTIONAL ISSUE FOR
HIM.
HIM. AND AS SOMETHING -- I THINK
THERE’S A HUNGER AMONG -- WITHIN
THE DEMOCRATIC BASE TO GO AFTER
TRUMP BECAUSE SO FEW CANDIDATES
HAVE BEEN WILLING TO DO THAT.
>> HE CAN SAY EVERYONE
RECOGNIZES I’M A WORKING CLASS
GUY FROM SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA
WE POSIT THAT ALREADY.
I CAN GO AFTER TRUMP AND THAT
SATISFIES THE BASE IN A
FUNDAMENTAL WAY.
FUNDAMENTAL WAY. PEOPLE WANT THAT.
YEARNING FOR THAT.
>> THAT’S WHAT HE WAS FOR OBAMA.
HE HAD THE HORRIBLE QUOTE,
CLEAN, ARTICULATE BLACK MAN.
AND OBAMA IN HIS WAY WAS LIKE
THAT’S THE GUY, MY RUNNING MATE.
BECAUSE THAT MAKES IT OKAY.
IF I CAN FORGIVE JOE BIDEN BEING
SUCH A, YOU KNOW --
>> SOMEONE SAID TO ME THIS
WEEKEND, A MOM FRIEND, YOU COVER
THE DEMOCRATS THE WAY YOU
PARENT, GIVING POINTS FOR
IMPROVEMENT, FOCUSSING ON
EVERYBODY’S STRENGTHS AND
WEAKNESSES.
WEAKNESSES. AGAIN, MY POSITION IS KNOWN, I
WILL VOTE FOR ANY CANDIDATE’S
AUTOMOBILE, WHOEVER THE
DEMOCRATS NOMINATE, I HOPE THEY
PREVAIL.
PREVAIL. BUT WHY CAN’T BIDEN PLAY THIS
ROLE AND LET THE ELECTIONS,
WHICH ARE MANY MONTHS AWAY,
DETERMINE IF THAT’S A WINNING
STRATEGY.
STRATEGY. THEY NOW HAVE THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES ON HIS HEEL
FOR A FIFTH NEWS CYCLE OVER THE
WORST MOMENT OF HIS PRESIDENCY,
THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD THING.
>> BUT LIKE YOU WERE SAYING
EARLIER, I THINK DEMOCRATS DO
ENJOY EATING THEIR OWN.
I THINK ESPECIALLY WITH THE RISE
OF PROGRESSIVE ACTIVIST GROUPS
THAT WANT TO PUSH THE PARTY
FORWARD IN A DIRECTION THAT THEY
THINK IS BOLD.
JOBE
JOBE JOE BIDEN IS NOT THEIR
CANDIDATE.
CANDIDATE. HE REPRESENTS A VISION OF
AMERICA THAT IS SOMETHING WE SAW
IN THE PAST.
WHEN I TALK TO SWING VOTERS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY
OBAMA VOTERS, THEY’RE LOOKING
FOR A SENSE OF NORMALCY.
THAT’S WHERE JOE BIDEN CAN BILL
HIMSELF AS A CANDIDATE THAT’S
COMFORTABLE, FAMILIAR, STABLE
AND YOU KNOW WHAT LIFE WILL BE
LIKE UNDER HIS PRESIDENCY.
IT’LL BE A CHALLENGE FOR HIM TO
MEET THE MOMENT POLITICALLY,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE GRASS ROOTS
ACTIVISTS THAT WANT MORE ON
POLICY.
POLICY. BUT THAT’S ONE THING HE CAN LEAN
INTO WHERE OTHER CANDIDATES ARE
THE WILD CARDS.
>> WELCOME TO 2019 WHERE BEING
STABLE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN PUT
IN AN ADD.
GO AHEAD AND THERE WERE OTHER
CANDIDATES RESPONDING.
CANDIDATES RESPONDING. >> IF THE MIDTERMS TAUGHT US
ANYTHING THIS IS A FIRED UP
DEMOCRATIC BASE THAT WANTS TO
GET OUT AND VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS.
WE SAW PROGRESSIVES WIN,
MODERATES WIN, ALL KINDS OF
DEMOCRATS WIN, WE SAW WOMEN.
I THINK LET THIS THING PLAY OUT
AND SEE HOW IT GOES.
>> HERE’S KAMALA HARRIS
RESPONDING TO THE EVENTS OF THE
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND. >> MY HOME STATE OF CALIFORNIA
JUST ON SATURDAY NIGHT MADE
CLEAR WHAT WAS CLEAR IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE AND WHAT WAS
CLEAR AT THE TREE OF LIFE
SYNAGOGUE.
SYNAGOGUE. LET’S SPEAK TRUTH, RACISM,
ANTI-SEMITISM, SEXISM,
ANTI-SEMITISM, SEXISM, HOMOPHOBIA ARE REAL IN THIS
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. LET’S SPEAK THAT TRUTH.
AND LET US SPEAK IT IN A WAY
WHERE WE ALL AGREE THAT THESE
ARE BORN OUT OF HATE.
HATE WHICH HAS RECEIVED NEW FUEL
IN THESE LAST TWO YEARS.
LET US ALL AGREE THAT WHENEVER
AND WHEREVER WE SEE THOSE
EXPRESSIONS OF HATE WE MUST ALL
STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT.
LET US AGREE THAT ANYONE WHO IS
EVER THE SUBJECT OF THAT HATE
SHOULD NEVER BE MADE TO FIGHT
ALONE.
ALONE. >> THERE IT IS.
THAT’S IT TOO.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT COULD BE GREAT
ABOUT 2020.
ABOUT 2020. THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF TRUTH
TELLING THAT WE HAVEN’T HAD.
REMEMBER BARACK OBAMA COULDN’T
TALK ABOUT RACISM.
HILLARY CLINTON COULDN’T TALK
ABOUT SEXISM.
ABOUT SEXISM. THESE CANDIDATES CAN.
IT’S OUT IN THE OPEN.
>> BARACK OBAMA GAVE THE BEST
SPEECH ON RACE EVER GIVEN --
>> BUT IT WAS ONE SPEECH AND
THAT WAS IT.
>> AND IT WAS AN HOUR AND 20
MINUTES LONG.
MINUTES LONG. THAT’S TALKING ABOUT IT ONE TIME
WITH A KIND OF SUBTLETY THAT HE
SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT ALL
THE TIME.
THE TIME. DID YOU SAY THE PRESS DOES EATS
THE DEMOCRATS OR DOESN’T.
>> I THINK THE DEMOCRATS GET TO
EACH OTHER BEFORE THE PRESS GETS
TO THEM.
TO THEM. >> I THINK THE PRESS EATS THE
DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THE PRESS IS
OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC AS
EVERY POLL HAS SHOWN, WHOM BEST
I LOVE I CROSS.
THEY LOOK AT EVERY DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES -- I REMEMBER THE
YEAR BS I WAS COVERING
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES, YOUR
HEALTH PLAN SAYS YOU GET A CUT
HERE -- THAT’S HOW THE
DEMOCRATIC PRESS DEVOURS THE
