ARE YOU STUPID? THAT’S STUPID, THAT’S DEVOID OF
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING.
YOU HAVE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS
SAYING THAT RIGHT NOW.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ARE TREATING
THE EL PASO, TEXAS, MASS
SHOOTING INSIDE OF WALMART AS A
CASE OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
THE U.S. ATTORNEY THERE SAYS HIS
OFFICE IS INVESTIGATING THE
21-YEAR-OLD WHITE MALE SUSPECT
FOR HATE CRIME CHARGE AND
FIREARM CHARGES, WHICH CARRY A
PENALTY OF DEATH.
THE EL PASO DISTRICT ATTORNEY
ALSO SAYS HIS OFFICE WILL SEEK
THE DEATH PENALTY.
OFFICIALS SAY THE SUSPECT DROVE
ABOUT TEN HOURS TO GET TO THE EL
PASO WALMART THAT WAS PACKED
WITH BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPERS AND
OPENED FIRE, KILLING 20 PEOPLE
AND WOUNDING 26 MORE.
THE EL PASO POLICE CHIEF SAYS
THE SUSPECT SURRENDERED WITHOUT
INCIDENT.
INCIDENT. WE’RE TOLD HE’S SPEAKING FREELY
AND HAS BEEN FORTHCOMING WITH
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
SHOOTING IN EL PASO TOOK PLACE,
A HATE-FILLED DIATRIBE APPEARED
ONLINE BELIEVED TO BE LINKED TO
THE SHOOTER.
THE SHOOTER. IT WAS POSTED ON AN EXTREMIST
WEBSITE AND SAID THE ATTACK WAS
SPECIFICALLY MENTIONING A
HISPANIC INVASION OF TEXAS.
THE POST DRAWS DIRECT
INSPIRATION FROM THE MASS MURDER
OF MUSLIMS AT TWO MOSQUES IN NEW
ZEALAND IN MARCH THAT LEFT 51
PEOPLE DEAD.
PEOPLE DEAD. IN THE ATTACK, HE PUBLISHED AN
ESSAY ONLINE PROMOTING A WHITE
SUPREMIST THEORY CALLED THE
GREAT REPLACEMENT.
GREAT REPLACEMENT. THE THEORY ARGUES THAT ELITES IN
EUROPE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO
REPLACE WHITE EUROPEANS WITH
IMMIGRANTS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
AND NORTH AFRICAN.
THE DIATRIBE POTENTIALLY LINKED
TO THE EL PASO KILLINGS BEGINS
IN GENERAL I SUPPORT THE
CHRISTCHURCH SHOOTER AND HIS
MANIFESTO.
MANIFESTO. THIS ATTACK IS A RESPONSE TO THE
HISPANIC INVASION OF TEXAS.
AS "THE NEW YORK TIMES" POINTS
OUT, IF THE ESSAY IS LINKED TO
THE EL PASO GUNMAN IT
POTENTIALLY UNDERSCORES THE
GLOBAL SPREAD OF WHITE SUPREMIST
IDEOLOGY IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL
MEDIA AND AT A TIME WHEN
IMMIGRATION IN AMERICA AND
ELSEWHERE HAS BECOME A DIVISIVE
POLITICAL TOPIC.
POLITICAL TOPIC. >> WELL, IT’S IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT THE CHRISTCHURCH
SHOOTER’S MANIFESTO TOOK HIS
INSPIRATION IN PART FROM THE
WHITE SUPREMIST SHOOTINGS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
SOUTH CAROLINA. AND YOU CAN LOOK AT PITTSBURGH.
YOU CAN CONNECT THE DOTS.
NOW, THERE ARE -- AGAIN, WE
DON’T KNOW WHAT MOVES SHOOTERS
TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.
AND ANYBODY THAT TAKES A GUN AND
GOES IN AND MOWS DOWN PEOPLE IN
SCHOOLS OR CHURCHES OR WALMARTS
OBVIOUSLY HAVE DISEASED MINDS
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
THINGS WORKING ON IT.
HERE THOUGH, IN THIS INSTANCE
IT’S NOT ABOUT HIM SAYING HE’S A
REPUBLICAN OR HIM SAYING HE’S A
DEMOCRAT, HE SAID HE DOESN’T
LIKE DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS.
BUT IT’S ABOUT THIS GUY
SPECIFICALLY USING WORDS THAT
ARE SIMILAR TO DONALD TRUMP’S
AND ALSO TALKING ABOUT HOW TEXAS
MAY END UP -- OR ACTUALLY HE
SAYS TEXAS WILL GO DEMOCRATIC IN
THE COMING ELECTIONS TO COME
BECAUSE MORE HISPANICS ARE QUOTE
INVADING TEXAS WHICH OF COURSE
HAS BEEN THE PRESIDENT’S THEME
FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS.
THAT MEXICANS AND HISPANICS ARE
INVADING AMERICA AND, YOU KNOW,
THE PRESIDENT’S RHETORIC IT’S
RAISED CONCERNS IN REALTIME
ABOUT THE VIOLENCE THAT IT COULD
ENGENDER.
ENGENDER. EVERY TIME HE HAS IGNORED ONE
WARNING AFTER ANOTHER.
AND ALSO I THINK THIS IS EVEN
MORE IMPORTANT.
MORE IMPORTANT. HIS REPUBLICAN ALLIES ON THE
HILL ALSO CORPORATIONS THAT ARE
SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP’S
RE-ELECTION ALSO BUSINESS PEOPLE
WHO ARE SUPPORTING DONALD
TRUMP’S RE-ELECTION BECAUSE THEY
MIGHT LIKE A TAX CUT, BUT THEY
DON’T CARE ABOUT THE RACISM,
THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE WHITE
SUPREMACY, THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT
WHAT THE MAN WHO THEY’RE WRITING
CHECKS FOR IN CORPORATIONS, WHO
THEY’RE WRITING CHECKS FOR, CEOs
OF COMPANIES, WHOSE PACS ARE
GIVING TO DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE
THEY MIGHT LIKE A TAX CUT,
THEY’VE REMAINED SILENT AS WELL.
THEY’RE ALLOWING HIS RISE,
THEY’RE WORKING HARD FOR HIS
RE-ELECTION, DESPITE HIS WHITE
SUPREMACY.
SUPREMACY. DESPITE HIS VIOLENT RHETORIC.
AND DESPITE THAT VIOLENT
RHETORIC GOING BACK TO THE START
OF THE PRESIDENT’S CAMPAIGN FOUR
YEARS AGO.
YEARS AGO. WE’RE GOING TO LOOK AT THOUGH
JUST SOME OF THE PAST TWO YEARS.
HERE WAS THE PRESIDENT’S
REACTION TO A TORCH RALLY
CHANTING HATE SLOGANS IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA, THE
NIGHT BEFORE AN ANTI-RACISM
PROTESTER WAS MURDERED AND MANY
OTHERS WERE INJURED IN THE MASS
ATTACK.
ATTACK. >> I THINK THAT’S BLAME ON BOTH
SIDES.
SIDES. YOU LOOK AT BOTH SIDES, I THINK
THERE’S BLAME ON BOTH SIDES.
AND I HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT AND
YOU DON’T HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT
IT EITHER.
IT EITHER. THEY -- YOU HAD SOME VERY BAD
PEOPLE IN THAT GROUP BUT YOU
ALSO HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE VERY
FINE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES.
>> VERY FINE PEOPLE.
NOW AGAIN, VERY INTERESTING THAT
TRUMP SUPPORTERS ON TWITTER AND
ON OTHER NETWORKS WILL ACTUALLY
SAY HE WASN’T TALKING ABOUT THE
NEO-NAZIS.
NEO-NAZIS. THAT PRESIDENT RIGHT THERE, HE
WAS TALKING ABOUT THE WHITE
SUPREMACISTS AND NEO-NAZIS
CARRYING TORCHES AND CHANTING
NEO-NAZI CHANTS.
NEO-NAZI CHANTS. SO YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP MAKING
FOOLS OF YOURSELF AND STOP
ENABLING A GUY WHO IS ACTUALLY
GIVING THE OKAY -- THE
PRESIDENTIAL GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
SIGN OF APPROVAL TO WHITE
NATIONALISTS.
NATIONALISTS. DON’T SHAME YOURSELVES ANYMORE.
I KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE HARD
BECAUSE YOU HAVE SPENT THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS LYING AND COVERING
UP FOR THIS PRESIDENT AND TRYING
TO PRETEND HE’S NOT A WHITE
SUPREMACIST AND THAT GOES FOR
YOU, CEOs, TO ALLOW YOUR
COMPANIES TO CONTINUE TO WRITE
CHECKS, TO SUPPORT THE
POLITICALRISE OF THIS WHITE
SUPREMACIST PRESIDENT.
SUPREMACIST PRESIDENT. I WONDER IF YOUR SHAREHOLDERS
ARE REALLY OKAY WITH THAT,
BECAUSE I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY
WOULD BE.
WOULD BE. BUT ANYWAY, AFTER THE PRESIDENT
PREACHED MORAL EQUIVALENCY
BETWEEN NAZIS, A PROFESSOR WROTE
THIS.
THIS. I STUDY VIOLENCE, KILLING
POLITICAL DISORDER FOR A LIVING.
I HAVE A PIT IN MY STOMACH AFTER
TODAY’S PRESS CONFERENCE.
TOTAL MORAL COLLAPSE.
ODDS OF NONSTATE VIOLENCE SOAR
WHEN STATE OFFICIALS GIVE IT
COVER AND LEGITIMACY.
DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE.
LAST FALL A DERANGED MAN WHO
SAID HE WAS INSPIRED BY WHAT HE
HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT AND FOX
NEWS HE SENT PIPE BOMBS TO
GEORGE SOROS AND OTHERS.
HERE IS WHAT MIKA SAID AS THAT
WAS UNFOLDING.
WAS UNFOLDING. >> THE PRESIDENT DIDN’T PACK
THOSE MAIL BOMBS.
HE DIDN’T GRIND UP THE SHARDS OF
GLASS AND TENDED TO -- INTENDED
TO MAIM AND KILL.
BUT HE DID SOMETHING ELSE.
HE UNDERMINED AMERICAN VALUES
AND DEHUMANIZED THOSE WHO DARE
TO QUESTION HIS CONDUCT.
HE GINNED UP A TYPE OF FEVERISH
HYSTERIA BASED ON RACE AND
RELIGION AND POLITICAL PARTY AND
IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD TO
WHAT WE SAW HAPPEN YESTERDAY AND
WE DON’T EVEN KNOW IF IT’S OVER.
>> AND IT CONTINUES.
WHAT WAS THE PRESIDENT’S
REACTION?
REACTION? IT WAS TO MOCK THE PEOPLE WHO
ACTUALLY HAD BOMBS SENT TO THEM.
SAYING CNN HAD QUOTE GONE WILD
ABOUT HOW HE WAS NOT
PRESIDENTIAL.
PRESIDENTIAL. THE RNC CHAIR TED CRUZ AND
OTHERS JOINED HIM IN CRITICIZING
THE MEDIA AND TARGETS OF THE
PIPE BOMBS.
PIPE BOMBS. WHILE THE VIOLENCE WENT ON.
A MAN BENT ON PUNISHING A
SYNAGOGUE FOR ASSISTING
REFUGEES, THE SAME REFUGEES THAT
DONALD TRUMP AND STEPHEN MILLER
CASTIGATE DAILY KILLED 11 PEOPLE
IN PITTSBURGH.
IN PITTSBURGH. AMID AN ELECTION WHERE THE
PRESIDENT MADE REPELLING, A
CARAVAN OF MIGRANTS AND SENDING
TROOPS TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER A
NIGHTLY RALLYING CRY.
>> DEMOCRATS WANT TO INVITE
CARAVAN AFTER CARAVAN OF ILLEGAL
ALIENS TO POUR INTO OUR COUNTRY.
I DON’T THINK SO.
THAT’S AN INVASION.
I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY SAY.
I DON’T CARE WHAT THE FAKE MEDIA
SAYS, THAT’S AN INVASION OF OUR
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. >> IT HAPPENS AT EVERY RALLY.
THE RALLIES KEEP GETTING WORSE.
THE NAZI CHANTS GO UP FROM THE
CROWDS, SEND HER BACK.
AND THEY ARE.
THEY ARE.
THEY ARE. YOU CAN LOOK AT HISTORY.
THEY ARE.
THEY ARE. AND YET THAT A SORT OF RHETORIC
THAT CEOs ARE FUNDING WITH THEIR
SUPPORT OF DONALD TRUMP, LEADERS
OF BUSINESS IN AMERICA ARE
SUPPORTING THAT SORT OF WHITE
SUPREMACY.
SUPREMACY. THEY ARE FUNDING THAT MAN AND
HIS HATE CAMPAIGN THAT GIVES
INSPIRATION TO WHITE
SUPREMACISTS AND THAT CONTINUED
TO HEAT UP.
WARNING OF LARGE-SCALE CRIME AND
DISEASE FROM IMMIGRATION.
PLAGUES.
PLAGUES. OTHER NETWORKS TALKED ABOUT
PLAGUES COMING TO THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES. AND USING INVASIONHETORIC EVEN
THOUGH HE SAID HE HAD HEARD THE
WARNINGS.
WARNINGS. >> YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON’T LIKE THE WORD INVASION.
WE HAVE A COUNTRY THAT’S BEING
INVADED BY CRIMINALS AND BY
DRUGS.
DRUGS. IT’S AN INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY.
WE HAVE AN INVASION OF DRUGS,
INVASION OF GANGS, INVASION OF
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. WE’RE ON TRACK FOR A MILLION
ILLEGAL ALIENS TO RUSH OUR
BORDERS.
BORDERS. PEOPLE HATE THE WORD INVASION
BUT THAT’S WHAT IT IS.
>> THAT LAST SOUND BITE WAS FROM
MARCH 15th.
MARCH 15th. AND THAT WAS THE DAY WHEN A
RACIST GUNMAN KILLED 50 PEOPLE
AT A MOSQUE IN NEW ZEALAND
HOPING TO SPREAD HIS HATRED
WORLDWIDE.
WORLDWIDE. AS EDDIE GLAUDE WARNED ON OUR
SHOW THAT DAY, THIS.
>> WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS
IS NOT JUST SIMPLY
ANTI-IMMIGRATION.
ANTI-IMMIGRATION. THERE’S AN IDEOLOGY DRIVING
THIS.
THIS. "THE NEW YORK TIMES" REPORTED HE
LISTED IN THE MANIFESTO HIS
WHITE NATIONALIST HEROES.
WHAT IT REVEALS IS THAT THERE’S
AN EPIDEMIC OF HATRED AND FEAR
ENGULFING THE WORLD AND WE NEED
TO BE MINDFUL IN OUR OWN
RHETORIC AND IN OUR OWN ACTIONS
HOW WE’RE PUSHING IT.
>> BUT THE PRESIDENT NEVER TONES
DOWN HIS RHETORIC.
IN FACT, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
ARE FUNDING DONALD TRUMP’S
RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN, YOU MAY
WANT TO TAKE NOTE THAT BECAUSE
YOU KEEP WRITING CHECKS TO THIS
PRESIDENT IT’S ON YOU.
IT REALLY IS.
IT’S ALL ON YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE
FUNDING THIS WHITE SUPREMACIST
CAMPAIGN, CEOs.
CAMPAIGN, CEOs. YOU REALLY ARE.
BUSINESS PEOPLE.
BUSINESS PEOPLE. MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES
IT’S YOUR MONEY THAT’S FUNDING
THIS WHITE SUPREMACY BECAUSE YOU
WON’T TELL HIM TO STOP.
YOU WON’T TELL HIM TALK ABOUT
THE ECONOMY AND I’LL WRITE YOU A
CHECK.
CHECK. KEEP UP THE WHITE SUPREMACIST
ATTACKS I’LL ASK FOR A REFUND.
WHY WON’T YOU DO THAT?
DOES YOUR COMPANY SUPPORT WHITE
SUPREMACY, DOES THE COMPANY YOU
RUN SUPPORT WHITE SUPREMACY
BECAUSE THE ATTACKS CONTINUE.
REMEMBER, THE HIT LIST FROM THE
DOMESTIC TERRORIST IN THE COAST
GUARD CASE AND THE PRESIDENT’S
PITIFUL PERIOD OF SILENCE WHEN
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES WERE
INVESTIGATING WE TOLD YOU IN
REALTIME HOW DANGEROUS THIS WAS.
NOT A WORD FROM TRUMP, NOT A
WORD FROM MITCH McCONNELL.
NOT A WORD FROM KEVIN McCARTHY.
NOT A WORD FROM THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT.
DEPARTMENT. THAT IS PATHETIC.
AND BY THE WAY, DONNY, YOU KNOW
TRUMP.
TRUMP. DOES HE KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING?
DOES HE KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING
HERE?
HERE? WHAT HE’S ENCOURAGING BY
REMAINING SILENT?
REMAINING SILENT? >> IS HE HOPING FOR A
DEFLECTION?
DEFLECTION? >> HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE’S
DOING AND BY THE WAY, THERE WERE
MEDIA MEMBERS THAT WERE ON THE
TARGET LIST.
TARGET LIST. WE TOOK IT A LITTLE PERSONALLY.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THAT
TARGET LIST YOU ACTUALLY HAD
NANCY PELOSI AND GUESS WHAT,
HERE WE GO, CEOs, THAT FUND
DONALD TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN.
DO YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WAS ON THAT
KILL LIST?
KILL LIST? PEOPLE THAT WERE RUNNING AGAINST
DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT.
THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD THAT WAS
RUNNING AGAINST DONALD TRUMP FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
HE’S ENCOURAGING HIS SUPPORTERS
AROUND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE
LISTENING TO THAT ENCOURAGEMENT.
AND SO HE’S ACTUALLY PUTTING
DONALD TRUMP’S POLITICAL
OPPONENTS ON A KILL LIST.
AND DONALD TRUMP, HE DOESN’T
CRITICIZE THAT, DOES HE?
DO YOU EVER HEAR TRUMP REALLY GO
OUT AND CRITICIZE A MAN WHO PUT
HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS ON A
KILL LIST WHILE HE WAS
COLLECTING GUNS AND HAD A LIST
OF PEOPLE THAT HE WAS GOING TO
GUN DOWN.
GUN DOWN. DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP. JUST REPUBLICANS, REPUBLICANS
SAID NOTHING ABOUT IT.
HOW INTERESTING.
HOW INTERESTING. JUST IN THE LAST MONTH WE HAVE
WITNESSED THE HATRED THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAS DIRECTED AT
MINORITY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
AFTER TRASHING ELIJAH CUMMINGS
FOR THE LAST WEEK.
ON FRIDAY, TRUMP TWEETED QUOTE,
REALLY BAD NEWS.
THE BALTIMORE HOUSE OF ELIJAH
CUMMINGS WAS ROBBED.
TOO BAD.
TOO BAD. THE PRESIDENT EVEN MOCKING A
ROBBERY OF A MEMBER OF CONGRESS.
YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT SEES A
BREAK AT A CONGRESSIONAL
MEMBER’S HOUSE AS SOMETHING TO
LAUGH ABOUT.
LAUGH ABOUT. SOMETHING TO MOCK.
BUT THIS IS A MAN WHO LAUGHS OFF
THE PROSPECTS OF DEADLY VIOLENCE
AGAINST THOSE HE DOES NOT WANT
IN THIS COUNTRY.
HERE’S DONALD TRUMP LAST MAY.
>> THIS IS AN INVASION.
WHEN YOU SEE THESE CARAVANS
STARTING OUT WITH 20,000 PEOPLE,
THAT’S AN INVASION.
I WAS BADLY CRITICIZED FOR USING
THE WORD INVASION.
IT’S AN INVASION.
BUT HOW DO YOU STOP THESE
PEOPLE?
PEOPLE? YOU CAN’T.
YOU CAN’T. THERE’S NOT -- THAT’S ONLY IN
THE PANHANDLE YOU CAN GET AWAY
WITH THAT STUFF.
ONLY IN THE PANHANDLE.
SO IT’S A TOUGH SITUATION.
>> SO HE SAYS INVASION
REPEATEDLY.
REPEATEDLY. HE SAID WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP
THEM?
THEM? SOMEBODY SAYS SHOOT THEM.
MUCH LIKE WHAT HAPPENED THIS
PAST WEEKEND.
PAST WEEKEND. WHAT IS DONALD TRUMP’S RESPONSE?
A RESPONSE LIKE JOHN McCAIN WHEN
SOMEBODY SAID THAT BARACK OBAMA
WAS A MUSLIM -- NOT THERE’S
ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
NO, HE LAUGHS.
TELLS A JOKE.
THE WHOLE CROWD LAUGHS AT A
PERSON SAYING, SHOOT THEM.
AND THEN HE GOES ON AND STARTS
TALKING ABOUT THE INVASION
AGAIN.
AGAIN. MIKE BARNICLE, THE PEOPLE IN THE
CROWD ARE COMPLICIT.
REPUBLICANS ARE COMPLICIT.
AND I WILL SAY AGAIN BUSINESSES,
CEOs, THE PACS THEY RUN, THEY
GIVE MONEY TO DONALD TRUMP FOR
THIS WHITE SUPREMACY THAT HE’S
NOW RUNNING ON.
