Operatives reveal how America's conservative power brokers built influence by exploiting racial divisions and promoting White victimhood narratives over decades.
Transcrição
00:00:08Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization.
00:00:11How many innocent Americans have these people hurt?
00:00:14Fear is the best motivator.
00:00:16When Mexico sends its people...
00:00:18They're invading, they're murdering, they're raping.
00:00:21How many moms are grieving because of our sanctuary cities?
00:00:24You don't have to talk about politics, you have to talk about how the brain of the human works.
00:00:28Critical race theory is poison.
00:00:30These people hate white people.
00:00:31There is now a white fear industrial complex.
00:00:35Mexican criminals.
00:00:36Black Lives Matter terrorists.
00:00:38Radical Islamic terrorism.
00:00:40Where many people get very rich and very powerful by telling white America that they are under constant assault.
00:00:48They want to steal your liberty, your freedom.
00:00:51I want surveillance of certain mosques.
00:00:53This is strategic racism.
00:00:56We will never ever surrender to the woke mob.
00:01:00Tapping into white grievance and anxiety and then exploiting and creating more and more of it.
00:01:05Chaos in the streets.
00:01:07In the schools.
00:01:08They're eating the dogs.
00:01:10They're eating the cats.
00:01:11This country is being invaded.
00:01:12And when you're scared, you fight back.
00:01:15We want our country back!
00:01:16Let's go!
00:01:19White supremacist protests turned violent.
00:01:22Panic in El Paso this morning.
00:01:24Motivated by anti-immigrant hatred.
00:01:26Thirteen people were shot.
00:01:27Ten of them killed.
00:01:28He specifically targeted black people.
00:01:30We're under fire.
00:01:31We're under fire.
00:01:32There's no firefighters there.
00:02:01has led her to the pistol range.
00:02:03A grandmother, fearful.
00:02:06The little manuals that you have,
00:02:07keep them with your cookbooks,
00:02:09they make a pretty good reference.
00:02:10The gun is suburbia's new tranquilizer.
00:02:13These housewives in Dearborn, Michigan,
00:02:15an all-white city of 100,000, are learning to use it.
00:02:19All-white Dearborn is on the edge of Detroit,
00:02:22which is 40% black.
00:02:24Fear and hate are the only bonds.
00:02:26As we look at America,
00:02:28we see cities enveloped in smoke and flame.
00:02:31We hear sirens in the night.
00:02:33When Nixon ran for president in 1968,
00:02:36he came up with a template
00:02:37that countless other politicians would use.
00:02:40Scare white voters about race
00:02:42without being openly racist.
00:02:44The city of Washington, D.C.,
00:02:46has now become the crime capital of the world.
00:02:48So we really started talking about law and order.
00:02:52The law and the order and the justice
00:02:54that all Americans want.
00:02:55And crime in the streets
00:02:57and the right of people to be secure
00:03:00and protected from crime.
00:03:02Knowing that, many people had a racialized understanding of crime.
00:03:10Crime as something done by black people
00:03:13and done to white people.
00:03:16We're going to launch a successful war against crime
00:03:19in the United States of America.
00:03:20We know that for white voters,
00:03:25law and order has a particular connotation.
00:03:27Everybody that lives with the color has to move.
00:03:30Why?
00:03:30Because you're not safe walking the streets at night.
00:03:32You cannot leave the house.
00:03:34Nixon has these theorists on staff
00:03:36who are coming up with theories about how to accomplish winning the votes of white Americans.
00:03:44One of the most eloquent is a young man named Kevin Phillips.
00:03:48And he says that politics is the organized deployment of hatreds.
00:03:53The argument, basically,
00:03:55is that if Republicans want to become the dominant party,
00:03:59they have to lean into the most epic hatred in America of all,
00:04:03which is the hatred of white people for black people.
00:04:05He says the whole secret to politics is understanding who hates who.
00:04:09And if you can figure that out and tap into those hatreds,
00:04:13you can win elections.
00:04:15And if a time, who hates who,
00:04:17boiled down to whites who'd fled the central cities,
00:04:21were scared about African Americans,
00:04:23scared about them coming out to the suburbs.
00:04:25Let me tell you one thing.
00:04:27You better not show his face in front of my house,
00:04:29because if it means my own life, I'd shoot him.
00:04:31Fear is fear, and when you've got fear into you, you'll do anything.
00:04:34I say to you that when the time comes
00:04:37that we have fear in the streets of our cities,
00:04:39it's not time for the old leadership,
00:04:42it's time for new leadership.
00:04:43He has another young staffer named Pat Buchanan
00:04:45who says very much the same thing.
00:04:48We have to divide the country in two.
00:04:50And if we divide the country in two
00:04:52and end up with the bigger half,
00:04:53then we will be able to, you know, dominate the future.
00:04:57Shoot to kill.
00:04:58If they're old enough to violate the laws, shoot them.
00:04:59If there's laws for us, there's laws for Negroes,
00:05:01let them start obeying them.
00:05:03Every home should have a shotgun
00:05:06to ward off would-be attackers
00:05:09or terrorists who may invade white neighborhoods.
00:05:12Nixon's strategy of fear-mongering works.
00:05:15He wins in 1968, he wins again in 1972.
00:05:18That's why Richard Nixon won the single biggest landslide
00:05:21in American history in 1972, 49 states.
00:05:25It wasn't because of his personality.
00:05:26Nixon won because he promised
00:05:29what his opponent refused to promise, law and order.
00:05:32The typical Republican voter was the kind of man
00:05:35for whom Richard Nixon had programmed his campaign.
00:05:38And though Nixon never really said it,
00:05:40that forgotten American who voted for Nixon
00:05:42also was white.
00:05:45Now, there's a lot of things going on
00:05:47in the 1972 election, Vietnam War, unrest on campuses,
00:05:53the feminist movement.
00:05:54It wasn't all race.
00:05:57And yet, I think primarily it was race.
00:06:01Not all race, but primarily race.
00:06:04No Democratic candidate for president since 1964,
00:06:09not Jimmy Carter, not Bill Clinton, not Barack Obama,
00:06:12not Joe Biden, has carried a majority of the white vote.
00:06:17American electoral politics
00:06:19after Richard Nixon's victory
00:06:22is first and foremost about racial resentment.
00:06:33Good morning.
00:06:34Welcome to Fox News Channel.
00:06:36This is Fox News Now.
00:06:37All the news you need in 15 minutes.
00:06:39Rupert Murdoch is one step closer
00:06:41to realizing his dream of a 24-hour global news channel.
00:06:45His conservative fingerprints are smudged
00:06:47all over his newspapers.
00:06:49Many analysts wonder if he will use the TV news channel
00:06:52to spread his gospel.
00:06:54In 1995, Rupert Murdoch hired me
00:06:58as president of Fox News
00:07:00to create a proper news division.
00:07:02But in 1996, Rupert hired Roger Ailes
00:07:07as chairman of news and cable.
00:07:09Roger Ailes' background
00:07:11was largely Republican and conservative.
00:07:15Ailes is known as a conservative pit bull
00:07:18who masterminded political campaigns for Ronald Reagan,
00:07:21launched Rush Limbaugh's TV show.
00:07:23We just expect to do fine, balanced journalism.
00:07:26Roger was a conservative hack,
00:07:30hitman in Republican politics,
00:07:33and he got Richard Nixon elected.
00:07:37And that ought to tell you something.
00:07:39Let me put it this way.
00:07:40I don't believe any...
00:07:42anyone will ever be elected
00:07:44to a major public office again
00:07:46without the skillful use of television.
00:07:48And that skillful use,
00:07:50is that an illumination of the issues
00:07:53or an emotional cell of the man involved?
00:07:57I think both.
00:07:58Roger, after he's hired,
00:08:00contacts me and says,
00:08:01let's go to lunch.
00:08:02And he says,
00:08:03I need you to stay on
00:08:04because I don't know anything about news,
00:08:07he tells me.
00:08:08And he said,
00:08:09let me ask you a question.
00:08:11Why are you a liberal?
00:08:12And I was taken aback,
00:08:14and I said,
00:08:16I was...
00:08:16I'm a liberal?
00:08:18He said,
00:08:19well, you worked for
00:08:19the communist broadcasting system,
00:08:22CBS.
00:08:22And then over the next minute or two,
00:08:24he started railing against the media.
00:08:27He said that the media is all liberal.
00:08:30The American people are very smart.
00:08:32They know the difference between news,
00:08:34facts, analysis, commentary,
00:08:36opinion, spin, and BS.
00:08:39The other news organizations won't tell you
00:08:41the difference.
00:08:41We will.
00:08:42Roger Ailes was the perfect Fox News viewer.
00:08:45He was aging,
00:08:47an aging white male Republican
00:08:49who claimed he didn't recognize
00:08:51the country he was living in anymore.
00:08:53Quick poll.
00:08:54Are we in a state of moral decline?
00:08:56The fact of the matter is,
00:08:57a third of all children today
00:08:58are born out of wedlock.
00:08:59Gay Ed,
00:09:00it could become part of your child's school curriculum.
00:09:02We report both sides of the story.
00:09:04You decide.
00:09:05He saw a lane where everybody else is liberal,
00:09:09and I can create a conservative channel,
00:09:12and that will speak to millions of people,
00:09:14and I will be able to win them over.
00:09:16I had to launch Fox News,
00:09:17and we had no studios, control rooms,
00:09:20stars, programs, or anything else.
00:09:24But we did have an idea,
00:09:25and we knew there was an audience.
00:09:27I said, I do not do alternative news channels.
00:09:30I only do journalism.
00:09:32And I left.
00:09:34But that is where he started.
00:09:36He basically created a channel
00:09:37for people just like him,
00:09:39for people who were afraid of the changes
00:09:41that were royally in America,
00:09:43for people who wanted to pull the country back
00:09:45to when he thought the country was a better place.
00:09:53We must say now that we are a nation under siege.
00:09:56Right now, we are a nation under siege.
00:09:58The sea change of 9-11 was that,
00:10:00suddenly everyone was like,
00:10:01what's going on in the Middle East?
00:10:03Like, what is this religion, this Quran?
00:10:05They're teaching to hate America.
00:10:079-11 was the turning point for Fox News.
00:10:09Fox was immediately catapulted
00:10:12into the raiding stratosphere.
00:10:14And America has been under attack this day,
00:10:17the 11th of September, 2001.
00:10:20Certainly, there are many countries in the Middle East
00:10:22who don't like us, who fly heavy jets.
00:10:24Iran does, Syria does, Iraq does.
00:10:27It becomes us versus them, a clash of civilizations.
00:10:31Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.
00:10:35After 9-11, all the American media was unfair to Muslims,
00:10:39but right-wing talk radio and cable channels like Fox News
00:10:42took it to another level.
00:10:43I heard a guy on the news show once say,
00:10:46it was actually right after 9-11, and he said, you know,
00:10:49the Muslim holiday of Eid,
00:10:51which is the holiday after Ramadan,
00:10:54is spelled E-I-D.
00:10:56And he said, if you spell it backwards,
00:10:58what does it spell?
00:11:00It spells die.
00:11:02Many Americans have long suspected that some in the Muslim world
00:11:04are so fanatical,
00:11:05they believe murder is acceptable in the name of their religion.
00:11:08When I interviewed insiders at Fox,
00:11:10the term brown menace came up over and over again.
00:11:13They are programming to stoke fear of the other,
00:11:16usually a brown-skinned person
00:11:19who is frightening to the white Christian audience.
00:11:22It's shaping up to be a world war
00:11:24between Muslim fanatics and the rest of us
00:11:28who don't want to be killed by people who say Allah wants it done.
00:11:32Having a political family that was just, you know,
00:11:35very plugged into the right-wing media,
00:11:37Fox tells them what to think about politics.
00:11:40It's either we stop them,
00:11:41or they're going to make mashed potatoes out of us.
00:11:44You have to be careful about Muslims
00:11:47who have a very strong, in many ways refined,
00:11:50but a very strong religion,
00:11:52which supersedes any sense of nationalism wherever they go.
00:11:57I think what's so often underappreciated
00:11:59is that so much of this is about the money.
00:12:01Rupert Murdoch's programming choices,
00:12:03Roger Ailes' creation of Fox News into what it is today.
00:12:07It's about the money and power.
00:12:09These people are not rational.
00:12:11They are not going to respond to your call, Reverend.
00:12:14In fact, they would blow your brains out if they got a chance.
00:12:17I think that their coverage was irresponsible at times.
00:12:21It wasn't balanced,
00:12:22and it really ends up dividing the country
00:12:25and leading to violence against Muslims.
00:12:30Inappropriately and unfairly.
00:12:32My bag got flagged through the conveyor thing
00:12:36at Tampa International Airport.
00:12:39And they opened up my bag,
00:12:42and then they pick up the Quran.
00:12:45And then it was like,
00:12:47we're going through all your stuff now.
00:12:50Your instinct in that moment is to, for me,
00:12:54was to get sarcastic, right?
00:12:56And just be like,
00:12:58oh, oh, you're looking for the bomb.
00:13:00I'm sorry.
00:13:01Yeah, yeah, no.
00:13:01Uh, God.
00:13:02You know, I left the bomb at home.
00:13:05I am the worst terrorist.
00:13:11I'm gonna get so fired.
00:13:13Oh, my God.
00:13:14This plane is gonna make it.
00:13:17The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam.
00:13:21Everyone applauds George W. Bush
00:13:23for this famous speech he does after the 9-11 attacks,
00:13:26where he says,
00:13:27Islam means peace.
00:13:28Muslims are the enemy.
00:13:30Islam is peace.
00:13:31I could tell you as an American and as a Muslim American,
00:13:34based upon the policies of the Bush administration,
00:13:36they were able to weaponize racism and fear and anxiety
00:13:40to turn a majority of Americans against their Muslim neighbors.
00:13:43We are at war.
00:13:45We are at war with terrorists.
00:13:47You hear about terrorists,
00:13:50which is a race-neutral term,
00:13:51but post-911 meant Muslims.
00:13:54Chasing down terrorists and criminals.
00:13:56The war on Islamic fascism.
00:13:58Militant Islamic fundamentalism.
00:14:01Islamofascism and the terror that has been utilized
00:14:04by Islamofascists and unleashed
00:14:08on liberty-loving peoples.
00:14:11They went after our mosques.
00:14:12They went after our institutions.
00:14:15When you are at war,
00:14:18civil liberties are treated differently.
00:14:20The NYPD spent years surveilling innocent Muslim Americans
00:14:24and they found zero actionable threats.
00:14:27I think that a lot of the people in the administration,
00:14:30in the Bush administration, you'd find,
00:14:32were genuinely saying,
00:14:35we need to do what we can to protect the homeland, right?
00:14:38Like, it's this combination of earnest policy people
00:14:42and, like, political people who are trying to...
00:14:44trying to color between the lines
00:14:46and probably a handful of rat fuckers
00:14:48who are trying to think about,
00:14:49okay, what can we do to get people pissed?
00:14:51Our strategy is this.
00:14:52We will fight them over there
00:14:54so we do not have to face them
00:14:55in the United States of America.
00:14:58In the case of George W. Bush,
00:15:00he goes to war against two Muslim countries.
00:15:04Our war on terror begins with Al Qaeda,
00:15:09but it does not end there.
00:15:10There's no way he would have been able to achieve
00:15:13his policy objective that he dearly wanted
00:15:15of going to war in Iraq
00:15:16unless he weaponized, you know,
00:15:20that kind of fear against Muslims after 9-11.
00:15:23This buildup after 9-11
00:15:25and the uncertainty is all a part of
00:15:29a gigantic anti-Muslim campaign.
00:15:34Divide the country and that lays the groundwork
00:15:38to be able to go in and attack Iraq.
00:15:41My dad and I would always talk politics
00:15:44and we were very pro-Iraq war.
00:15:46We'd say very horrible things
00:15:48about Muslims and Muslim countries.
00:15:50The reason that Islam,
00:15:51as it's constituted today,
00:15:53is a terrorist organization
00:15:54is because the theology feeds the terrorism.
00:15:56I'll tell you what you do.
00:15:57You racially profile it.
00:15:58The Republican strategists
00:16:00and conservative media,
00:16:01like, didn't give a fuck about, like,
00:16:04the impact on Muslim citizens,
00:16:06like, day-to-day lives, right?
00:16:08And, like, whether their overheated rhetoric
00:16:10was having a real negative impact on them.
00:16:12We're facing an enemy,
00:16:14the Islamofascist movement.
00:16:16Yeah.
00:16:16It is Hitler in a headscarf.
00:16:17And I can, you know, even say,
00:16:19from being in that world at that time,
00:16:23you know, that was an eye-opening thing.
00:16:26I am not going to stop
00:16:27until I have executed at least 10 Muslims.
00:16:31You have no right to be in this country.
00:16:33In Ohio today, another mosque vandalized.
00:16:35Saturday, a Pakistani Muslim shot dead in Dallas
00:16:39and in Arizona, a gas station owner shot and killed.
00:16:42Not an Arab or a Muslim, but an Indian Sikh.
00:16:45His temple fears anyone who even looks
00:16:47like America's new enemy is a target.
00:16:50The ultimate threat is the possibility
00:16:51of their succeeding and getting, say,
00:16:54a biological agent or a nuclear weapon smuggling
00:16:56into the United States, into one of our own cities,
00:17:00and raising the specter of being able
00:17:03to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.
00:17:05Presently, the nation currently stands
00:17:07in the yellow condition, in elevated risk.
00:17:11There was a color chart.
00:17:12We're at orange today.
00:17:14No, no, we're at brown.
00:17:15Raise terror alert level.
00:17:16Government saying we are now at orange.
00:17:19That's high alert.
00:17:20To increase that threat condition designation
00:17:22to the high-risk category.
00:17:24Explosive claims from Tom Ridge,
00:17:26the country's first Secretary of Homeland Security.
00:17:28In a new book, Ridge accuses top advisers
00:17:31to George W. Bush of playing politics
00:17:33with America's fear of terrorism
00:17:34before the 2004 election.
00:17:36Ridge claims he felt pressure
00:17:38to raise the country's terror alert level
00:17:40during the run-up to the 2004 elections.
00:17:43The episode left him disillusioned.
00:17:45He tendered his resignation
00:17:46within a month of the election.
00:17:48It was perpetual fear.
00:17:50Manufacture fear.
00:17:51Manufacture anxiety.
00:17:53Manufacture instability.
00:17:54And the only person
00:17:55and the only regime
00:17:57that can bring you stability and security
00:17:58was who?
00:17:59George W. Bush and the Republicans.
00:18:10Now to the Barack Obama story.
00:18:12After months of speculation,
00:18:14the freshman senator from Illinois says,
00:18:15yes, he does want to be the next president
00:18:18of the United States.
00:18:19A Newsweek poll shows that 12% of America
00:18:22believes that you're a Muslim,
00:18:23and 26% believe you were raised in a Muslim home.
00:18:28A lot of misinformation.
00:18:30His, uh, religious background scares me to death.
00:18:33I won't vote for the man just because he's Muslim.
00:18:36Muslims as a people
00:18:38were so viciously demonized
00:18:40for years and years after 9-11
00:18:43that it makes a twisted amount of sense
00:18:45that the birtherism lie about Obama
00:18:47portrayed him as a secret Muslim.
00:18:49Then they get President B. Hussein Obama in there,
00:18:51and he has massive majorities in the House.
00:18:52So why do you keep saying to B. Hussein Obama?
00:18:54Well, that's his name.
00:18:55I know.
00:18:56It's shocking that that...
00:18:57It's also Barack Obama.
00:18:58That he's probably going to be our next president,
00:19:00President Hussein.
00:19:01When you've got a name like Barack Hussein Obama,
00:19:05that's not a normal American name, okay?
00:19:08I was working at the Republican National Committee,
00:19:10and I would approve our mailers.
00:19:12It's the little mailings we send out to old people,
00:19:13so they give five bucks.
00:19:15You know, they can be part of the RNC Platinum Club
00:19:18if they join.
00:19:19And they would call him Barack Hussein Obama.
00:19:23And I had a general policy of, like,
00:19:26I would always cross out Hussein.
00:19:27Like, there's no point in including Hussein Obama
00:19:30except for a racial dog whistle.
00:19:33I got called into the RNC Chief of Staff's office,
00:19:36and the Chief of Staff's like,
00:19:38what's the problem?
00:19:39Like, here.
00:19:39And I said, well, we don't use Hussein in our PR stuff.
00:19:44And they're like, well, this stuff works.
00:19:46Like, this is how, you know, we get more money in.
00:19:49I accept your objection,
00:19:50but we're just going to keep doing it.
00:19:52Tell me he's American.
00:19:54No, he is not.
00:19:56They don't want to claim American.
00:19:58They want to be African American.
00:20:00Well, I want people that want to be American.
00:20:03I'm afraid if he wins, the black will take over.
00:20:06For a lot of white communities,
00:20:07the idea that there could be a black president
00:20:10was so impossible, so foreign,
00:20:13that it almost acted like an alarm,
00:20:16an alarm bell when it went off.
00:20:18Are you ready to have a black man president?
00:20:20No, no, no.
00:20:21I don't think we're ready for a black president yet.
00:20:25It's not necessarily because of anything Obama did.
00:20:28It's what that visually meant to so many of those, you know,
00:20:36white voters for whom an Obama was an impossibility,
00:20:40you know, in their imaginations.
00:20:42And CNN can now project that Barack Obama, 47 years old,
00:20:46will become the president-elect of the United States.
00:20:50I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him.
00:20:55Please.
00:20:58You get the hope that Obama represents,
00:21:01but also the fact that this black man has ascended to the White House,
00:21:05so it deepens racial divisions.
00:21:09Obama and his wife, I'm concerned that they could be anti-white.
00:21:13And you get this census report,
00:21:16which says that America's fast becoming a majority-minority nation.
00:21:21The Census Bureau has long predicted
00:21:23that whites would drop below 50% of the population by the year 2050.
00:21:28This new data suggests that shift could come far sooner.
00:21:32And that statistical data point
00:21:35is embodied in the fact that we just elected a black man to the White House.
00:21:39When the census report comes out,
00:21:41this sent shockwaves through the country,
00:21:43but certainly through the white community.
00:21:47It was the personification of what they were afraid of,
00:21:51of a country that was no longer run by whites.
00:21:55Arrest Obama! Arrest Obama!
00:21:59This is why you see the rise of gun sales in this time,
00:22:03the rise of militias,
00:22:05the rise of these politicians really preying on having this black man in the White House,
00:22:11you're not safe, and I'm here to keep you safe.
00:22:14Right before Obama took office, the economy crashed,
00:22:18and he inherited a massive problem that he was going to have to solve.
00:22:22This morning, Wall Street begins the day holding its breath.
00:22:24The Dow plunged more than 500 points yesterday.
00:22:27The Dow taking another breathtaking nosedive.
00:22:30All hell breaks loose, right?
00:22:32And the nature of that hell takes many forms.
00:22:36The one that's most obvious is the Tea Party.
00:22:38And across the country today,
00:22:39thousands of people protested over the tax system,
00:22:42demonstrating against what they call big government spending.
00:22:45These self-styled Tea Parties were aimed squarely at President Obama
00:22:49and the Democratic leaders in Congress.
00:22:50What their real grievance was, was summarized by Rick Santelli
00:22:55with that original soundbite from the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade.
00:23:00How about this, President and new administration?
00:23:03Why don't you put up a website to have people vote on the internet as a referendum
00:23:07to see if we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages?
00:23:11They're replacing hardworking people like me with somebody who doesn't deserve it,
00:23:17who's going to get money from the government.
00:23:19This is America!
00:23:20How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage
00:23:23that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills?
00:23:26Raise their hand!
00:23:27How about we all...
00:23:30President Obama, are you listening?
00:23:32We're thinking of having a Chicago Tea Party in July.
00:23:35All you capitalists that want to show up to Lake Michigan,
00:23:38I'm going to start organizing.
00:23:39Hundreds of Tea Parties planned in every single state.
00:23:43This is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network, Fox.
00:23:48We were one of the only organizations to give it any publicity or PR prior to the fact that it
00:23:54happened.
00:23:55The thing I think that at the time, a lot of people in my shoes,
00:23:58which is in white Republican consultant shoes,
00:24:02is we really did convince ourselves that the Tea Party was legitimate,
00:24:10grievance about government spending.
00:24:12It's a false accusation that Tea Party Americans are racist.
00:24:15The people that are involved in the Tea Party movement
00:24:17and other grassroots organizations across the country, Susan, they're not racist.
00:24:22And I think this is an example of our own naivete and wishful thinking, right,
00:24:27and compartmentalization and all those tricks that you do to yourself.
00:24:30I'm tired of hearing about the black colleges.
00:24:33I'm tired of hearing black, black, black.
00:24:35We can encapsulate it as communist Kenyan Muslim.
00:24:39Yes.
00:24:40Clearly now, with the benefit of hindsight, the Tea Party was a racial grievance uprising
00:24:47against the first black president.
00:24:49If you think about a literal dog whistle, it's a whistle used to train dogs.
00:24:53It blows at a very high frequency.
00:24:55Human ears can't hear it, but dogs can.
00:24:58So as a metaphor for political speech, it's directing our attention to speech
00:25:02that's also working on two levels.
00:25:04On one level, silent about race, but on the other, triggering strong racist reactions.
00:25:11So think about terms like welfare queen, illegal alien, thugs, gang bangers.
00:25:17These are terms that on their surface are silent about race.
00:25:21They don't mention race at all.
00:25:23And yet, if you pay attention to the mental images that come to mind with these terms,
00:25:28you can understand the racial power they have.
00:25:30The Barack Obama administration is actively seeking to expand the welfare state in this country.
00:25:37You know, you have Newt Gingrich on Fox calling him the food stamps president.
00:25:40Unconditional efforts by the best food stamp president in American history to maximize dependency.
00:25:47Newt Gingrich, uh, pinned it pretty well when he said that President Obama is the food stamp president.
00:25:52He was just seen as like this avatar of, you know, everything that's bad about liberals and things like this
00:25:58are just thrown onto him.
00:25:59The idea was that it wasn't just Obama, but everything that Obama touched that became racialized.
00:26:05When Obama gets 95% of the black vote, is that racist?
00:26:09He is creating a racial divide.
00:26:12This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again
00:26:16who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.
00:26:21So all of a sudden, the Democratic Party, uh, healthcare, became racialized.
00:26:28Kill the bill! Kill the bill! Kill the bill! Kill the bill! Kill the bill!
00:26:34Rush Limbaugh has declared that the president's healthcare reform package is a civil rights bill and constitutes reparations.
00:26:40This is returning the nation's wealth to its quote-unquote rightful owners. This is a civil rights bill. This is
00:26:46reparations, whatever you want to call it.
00:26:48And then you have this controversy over there's a government program for low-income people giving them phones,
00:26:53because you can't do anything without a phone.
00:26:56And so this clip is always passed around of this African-American lady saying,
00:26:59I'm gonna get, like, an Obama phone.
00:27:01Everybody in Cleveland, low minority, got an Obama phone!
00:27:04Keep Obama in president, you know? He gave us a phone!
00:27:08You've seen the YouTube of the Obama phone woman. Uh, who you, how you gonna get a free phone?
00:27:13Well, you gotta vote for Obama. You gotta be on food stamps.
00:27:16No one deserves a free phone.
00:27:18If you're unemployed, you've got welfare, you got food stamps, you got subsidized housing, you got free phones, you got
00:27:22free healthcare.
00:27:23You're better off unemployed than working. Isn't that what this is all about?
00:27:27It means Obama thinks he's a king!
00:27:29Obama runs for re-election in 2012, and again you see his opponents focus on where he's from and whether
00:27:36he's Muslim.
00:27:36No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born
00:27:41and raised.
00:27:43I would get phone calls from Fox headquarters.
00:27:46They would call me up to say, look, this whole business with the birth certificate with Obama, you know, what
00:27:51do you got for us?
00:27:52And I would say, look, he says he's got a birth certificate and he has a birth certificate.
00:27:57Until such time as anybody can prove that he doesn't, I got nothing to say.
00:28:02And they would pass it off to some show host or something like that.
00:28:05Tonight we've assembled an all-star panel to do a critical analysis of the president's birth certificate.
00:28:11I believe that he is a Muslim.
00:28:12You do?
00:28:13Yes.
00:28:14How many believe that here?
00:28:15Yes.
00:28:16How many believe that?
00:28:17He doesn't have a birth certificate. Now, he may have one, but there's something on that birth, maybe religion, maybe
00:28:24it says he's a Muslim.
00:28:25You know, and that doesn't embarrass me if people call me a Bertha. When we're finished with this interview, I'll
00:28:31show you some YouTubes. You know, YouTubes are infallible.
00:28:38Another four years for President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. They win reelection in the Electoral College. They're winning
00:28:45the popular vote right now.
00:28:46Latinos for the first time in our nation's history in double digits nationally. And look at that. The president winning
00:28:52even more of the Latino vote than he did four years ago. 71%. This is a crisis for the Republican
00:28:57Party on the national level going forward.
00:29:00Barack Obama won the presidency again and, you know, obliterated this white candidate. The two big questions for Republicans tonight,
00:29:08what went wrong and where do they go from here?
00:29:11And suddenly the Republican Party realized, oh my goodness, we really have failed to, you know, appeal to communities of
00:29:20color. We cannot be a party of just white people. That's not going to cut it.
00:29:23And so they published an autopsy report. And it was this breathtakingly honest report that talked about the Republican Party's
00:29:31failure to do outreach in communities of color among Hispanics, among black Americans and other marginalized groups.
00:29:39Many minorities think that Republicans don't like them or don't want them in our country.
00:29:44The report's presented and it makes national news.
00:29:47Focus groups called the party narrow minded, out of touch and stuffy old men.
00:29:51We made it very clear. We urged Republican leadership to lead on immigration reform. We felt comprehensive immigration reform was
00:29:59needed.
00:30:00There was great interest in it at the political level.
00:30:02Virtually every group that's looked at immigration reform, except for one, has said that immigration reform would be a net
00:30:07positive for the economy of the United States.
00:30:09The GOP now is officially supporting comprehensive immigration reform, something that's been very, very controversial in the GOP for years.
00:30:15There was this historic bipartisan immigration reform bill in 2013 and 14. There was John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio,
00:30:24along with a number of Democrats working for immigration reform.
00:30:28A huge bill on Capitol Hill today. The Senate about to vote on a massive immigration reform bill.
00:30:33The GOP leadership wanted immigration reform to broaden their racial appeal. But the far right of the party? They opposed
00:30:40it.
00:30:41Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon were working concertedly with Breitbart to attack the immigration reform bill by whipping up hysteria
00:30:51about the immigration issue and whipping up white racial anxiety.
00:30:55The autopsy comes out and says, this whole thing's blamed on we didn't, you know, get the Hispanic vote and
00:31:00what we have to do is have amnesty and all these types.
00:31:03So we have to basically concede to Democratic policies. And at the same time, this guy named Sean Trendy, who's
00:31:10a lawyer, writes a two or three part series for RealClearPolitics.
00:31:14I heard Barack Obama make the comment, you guys have to appeal to non-white voters so you'll never win
00:31:20another election. I just thought that's not right.
00:31:22So I wrote this column about actually if the GOP could figure out a way to appeal to white voters
00:31:28and increase their vote share there, they could more than offset their losses among non-white voters.
00:31:35And so that's the idea of the missing whites.
00:31:37And so Trendy's thing was quite interesting to me about the whole white working class element of it and how
00:31:42really both parties had abandoned it.
00:31:44It was pretty obvious to me. It kind of reinforced what I felt.
00:31:46There were a lot of white voters out there that were gettable for the GOP that, for whatever reason, the
00:31:51Republicans weren't pulling them to the polls.
00:31:54So you come up with this strategy. Why do people respond to it publicly?
00:31:58Oh, they hated it.
00:31:59I had a dinner with Jeff Sessions and Stephen Miller.
00:32:02Senator Sessions, let's say this, had a few bourbon and branches, okay? A lot.
00:32:07And we go through those policies that we believe strongly is what's needed to drive the Republican Party to actually
00:32:16start to get an electoral majority.
00:32:17They went over some election analysis by Sean Trendy, and they interpreted this analysis to mean that they could launch
00:32:26a popular movement.
00:32:28How did the three of you, what's your game plan to push back on immigration reform?
00:32:34We have to stop it in the house. We know something's going to come up that year.
00:32:36If this bill were to pass, wages would go down, unemployment would go up.
00:32:44We knew we had to stop it. We had to stop it legislatively, and we thought we could stop it.
00:32:47So what'd you do?
00:32:48Well, we just, first off, there were articles every day. There was everybody on radio shows and TV. We really
00:32:54pushed the thing out.
00:32:54We should be taking immigrants who are better than us, not worse than us. But instead of skimming the cream,
00:33:00we are scraping the bottom of the barrel, getting rid of, taking care of other countries' internal problems, taking their
00:33:06terrorists, their losers, their poor people.
00:33:08I had a phone interview with Steve Bannon in 2014. I was walking around Barnes & Noble in Lynchburg, and
00:33:17he was just firing off questions like he does.
00:33:20And he said, what's your perspective on education? And I would just deliver, you know, the true believer conservative lines.
00:33:27And then he said, what do you think about immigration? All I said was, it affects everything. And that was,
00:33:35he was so excited and enthused by that answer. He yelled, yes.
00:33:39Like, and I heard him through the phone. I actually pulled away a little bit, like, okay, he's really excited
00:33:44about that. And I was hired like that.
00:33:46We kind of put a network together of people that just continue to put, that just continue to put out
00:33:52more and more information. Look, our whole thing is, if you put out information and you have force multipliers that
00:33:57just drive it, people will start to absorb it themselves.
00:34:00It's the servant class that is coming in, whom taxpayers need to support.
00:34:06For everyone who's a valedictorian, there's another hundred out there that they weigh 130 pounds, and they've got calves the
00:34:12sides of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.
00:34:16I mean, it's the, what do they say, you know, the Russian act of measures, it's, you know, lying through
00:34:22a fire hose. I mean, you're just overwhelmed by the lies.
00:34:25A lot of people coming to the country are working for drug cartels. A lot of the people have wreaked
00:34:30havoc upon communities.
00:34:31The strategy was to take reactionary, racist feelings against immigrants, you know, non-white immigrants, and to present it to
00:34:42the base as a political choice made by elites who betrayed you, the working white man.
00:34:50Do you realize, we're the second class citizens? You secure that border to protect us.
00:34:56As if we were being deluged by a wave of non-white immigrants.
00:35:01You can have a flood of new immigrants into the United States.
00:35:05Invading, they're murdering, they're raping.
00:35:07As one officer said, a tidal wave of new illegality in the future.
00:35:11And that successfully turned public opinion against immigration.
00:35:16This, this country is being invaded by foreigners with diseases and crime.
00:35:21These are going to be more jobs taken away.
00:35:23Letting Muslims come across the border, they are finding Qurans on the ground.
00:35:27When I hear, let's go after the missing white voter, I start to think, oh lord.
00:35:31There's an article in The Nation where one of their editors called me a white supremacist.
00:35:36A lot of people took the suggestion that this is a path that the GOP could take,
00:35:42uh, as me basically calling for the GOP to be the party of white people.
00:35:46Uh, and that's absolutely not what I wanted.
00:35:50Uh, it was kind of an academic exercise.
00:35:52I'm just saying if you want to look at the cold calculus of electoral politics,
00:35:56it works out a little different than I think a lot of people expect.
00:35:59So it was like in 2013 when I was getting all these attacks, I thought,
00:36:03wouldn't it be great in 2016 if a candidate came along and did this and,
00:36:06and proved me right and, and then the monkey's paw finger curled,
00:36:12uh, because I did not have Donald Trump or anyone like him in mind.
00:36:16And he came and kind of took the strategy and put it on steroids.
00:36:20I'm Donald Trump and you're watching Fox and Friends.
00:36:23And if you turn the channel, you're fired.
00:36:26Everyone knows Trump built an image of himself via The Apprentice.
00:36:29But I believe it was Fox that was more important to his political rise.
00:36:33Does he have the power to fire me in this company?
00:36:36Brian, you're fired.
00:36:36Any further questions?
00:36:37Yeah, I guess so.
00:36:38Because he was given by Roger Ailes a weekly slot on Fox and Friends.
00:36:42You could say that Trump is the candidate Fox and Friends invented.
00:36:46I do now.
00:36:47Worked out well.
00:36:48Who's at the door?
00:36:49Oh, look, it's Donald Trump.
00:36:50Come on in, Mr. Trump.
00:36:51Donald Trump in person.
00:36:52Every Monday is a Donald Trump Monday.
00:36:54But now in person for one reason.
00:36:56He hasn't seen Steve and I in a long time.
00:36:58Yeah, a long time.
00:36:59Wrong.
00:36:59A long time.
00:37:00Nice to see you, Donald Trump.
00:37:01He became the GOP nominee in waiting because of those weekly appearances on Fox and portraying
00:37:08himself as the savior, as the protector, as the one billionaire who would save them.
00:37:16That's because of you guys.
00:37:17Donald Trump gets up in the morning, tweets to the entire planet at no cost, picks up
00:37:21the phone, calls you, has a great conversation for about eight minutes, which would have cost
00:37:26him a ton in commercial money.
00:37:27When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
00:37:31They're not sending you.
00:37:33They're not sending you.
00:37:35They're sending people that have lots of problems.
00:37:39Trump was leaning into the culture war.
00:37:41He understood how the people were reacting, what they were resonating to.
00:37:46The immigration was the first one.
00:37:48They're bringing drugs.
00:37:49They're bringing crime.
00:37:51They're rapists.
00:37:52And some, I assume, are good people.
00:37:55Political people said, oh, those are very bad things to say.
00:37:58That doesn't resonate with the people.
00:37:59They missed the boat on that.
00:38:00That absolutely resonated with people.
00:38:02People said, this guy's got it.
00:38:04He's absolutely right.
00:38:06So they wanted to hear more.
00:38:07He says what I'm thinking.
00:38:09Exactly.
00:38:09Never been involved in politics.
00:38:12Never had an interest in any of it.
00:38:14Now, suddenly, he is resonating.
00:38:16He is resonating with the people and he's speaking our minds.
00:38:20He's resonating with the people.
00:38:21I've been following his campaign.
00:38:23And he's resonating with the people.
00:38:25Look at the people.
00:38:26You would go and the people were cheering like it was some famous musician coming on stage.
00:38:30And instead, Trump came up and he attacked people.
00:38:34ISIS is honoring President Obama.
00:38:38He is the founder of ISIS.
00:38:41He's the founder of ISIS.
00:38:42Okay?
00:38:43He's the founder.
00:38:46He founded ISIS.
00:38:49And it was almost like this underlying sentiment among the American people.
00:38:54I want surveillance of certain mosques.
00:38:56Okay?
00:38:57If that's okay.
00:38:58And here's a guy that's just telling into it plain.
00:39:01He's not sugarcoating it.
00:39:02He's using, you know, abusive words.
00:39:04Whatever you want to call it.
00:39:05I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you.
00:39:07I met Trump at WrestleMania 5.
00:39:10I'd always been a WrestleMania.
00:39:11I'd always been a wrestling WWE fan.
00:39:14And then through Roger Stone, I was reporting directly to him.
00:39:17Working under Roger.
00:39:18Any guy that can do a body slam, he's my kind.
00:39:25USA! USA!
00:39:27USA!
00:39:27We have a movement gun.
00:39:29We have something very special.
00:39:30He called me and he's like, there's a movement, Sam.
00:39:32I feel it.
00:39:33It's electrifying.
00:39:34They love it.
00:39:35Everyone loves it.
00:39:36It was electric to be a part of one of his rallies.
00:39:39It really was.
00:39:39It was amazing.
00:39:42You feel a certain fellowship and camaraderie with people who have like-minded thoughts,
00:39:49you know, and desires.
00:39:50And yeah, it was wonderful.
00:39:52It was amazing.
00:39:54It's called the snake.
00:39:56I thought of it having to do with our borders and people coming in.
00:39:59It was patriotic.
00:40:00That's all I can say.
00:40:01He told the snake poem and it was wonderful.
00:40:04Oh, shut up, silly woman.
00:40:07Said the reptile with a grin.
00:40:11You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.
00:40:17We did some polling on immigration early on.
00:40:20And the numbers actually weren't as supportive in favor of Trump as you might think.
00:40:25It was, do you support blocking immigration?
00:40:27Just general across the board.
00:40:29And people were very reticent to do that because they felt that was impinging on the American dream.
00:40:34However, if you rephrase the question, would you support a ban on immigration if it results in you losing your
00:40:41job?
00:40:42Health care costs going up.
00:40:43So when we started reframing it, people were like, whoa, even legal immigrants were, we don't want this.
00:40:50We don't want illegal immigrants in our country.
00:40:51We're very much in favor of Trump.
00:40:53They're taking our jobs.
00:40:54They're taking our manufacturing.
00:40:56They're taking our money.
00:40:58They're taking everything and they're killing us on the border.
00:41:01What the Trump campaign was saying about immigrants, jobs and health care, it was a complete distortion.
00:41:07But again, the point was racial manipulation.
00:41:10I was communicating with Stephen Miller while he was on the Trump campaign, while my Twitter feed was very active,
00:41:15very racist, very anti-Islam.
00:41:17And while I was writing racist articles for Breitbart.
00:41:21We're in communication and we're both expressing pro-Trump sentiments with my company Breitbart email.
00:41:27And there's no problem with this.
00:41:29Breitbart, in my view, de facto advertising arm of the Trump campaign.
00:41:37And there was no real intervention from management at all.
00:41:43I think the tone of these discussions matter.
00:41:47When you're using them as wedge issues, as Republicans have done now, it's different.
00:41:54And it's really intended not to solve a social problem of borders, but it's about stirring up racial animus.
00:42:07White Americans have founded this country, but we are being pushed aside because of the present administration and the media,
00:42:15the liberal media.
00:42:16I want to feel safe in our country and I don't feel safe anywhere I go.
00:42:22So when we're talking this whole conversation and I say, you know, they're all, so I say that they're all
00:42:27going to talk about border security.
00:42:28You got to talk about building a wall.
00:42:30You got to talk about, you know what I mean?
00:42:32We're going to come in with a wall.
00:42:33This is a marriage between your business, your brand.
00:42:36It's like a real estate deal, right?
00:42:38I will build a great, great wall on our southern border.
00:42:42And I said, and then you say, you'll get the Mexico.
00:42:44You'll get the Mexicans to pay for it because they're stealing from us.
00:42:47And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.
00:42:51So then he said, I'll make it a real estate deal.
00:42:53That's right. It's like a real estate deal.
00:42:55And he goes, and nobody builds like Trump.
00:42:56Nobody builds walls better than me. Believe me.
00:42:58Nobody builds like Trump.
00:43:00He loves that line.
00:43:01We're going to make America great again.
00:43:03And we're going to keep winning, winning, winning.
00:43:05Now, when they say, what did make America great again mean?
00:43:09It meant, if you want to compare it to something,
00:43:12it meant Bill O'Reilly 8 p.m.
00:43:15It meant the culture war.
00:43:17It meant keeping America's, you know, history.
00:43:21And I guarantee, if I become president,
00:43:24we're going to be saying Merry Christmas at every store.
00:43:27We're not going to be doing it.
00:43:30Remember Barack Obama said change?
00:43:32No, we don't want change.
00:43:33That changes shit for a lot of reasons.
00:43:35We're not allowed to punch back anymore.
00:43:38I love the old days.
00:43:40You know what they used to do to guys like that
00:43:41when they were in a place like this?
00:43:43They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks.
00:43:45Why do you think Trump plays culture wars
00:43:47instead of old school Republican stories,
00:43:50lower taxes, small government?
00:43:51Because that shit's boring and we're not going to win.
00:43:54Okay? We're not going to win.
00:43:56I'll tell you why.
00:43:56Because we're not going to win.
00:43:58It's boring.
00:43:59I'll tell you what.
00:44:00That is one thing I really respect about Trump.
00:44:02He speaks his mind.
00:44:04He says what's on his mind.
00:44:05And we're in his best interest when he does.
00:44:08Policy, straight up policy, that's Mitt Romney.
00:44:11Okay? It ain't winning.
00:44:13He's not so uptight.
00:44:16Everything's got to be PC.
00:44:18I think he had to break through all the nonsense
00:44:20by being blunt.
00:44:22Were you comfortable with how much of that white voter anger resentment model you guys did in the Trump administration?
00:44:31When we looked at the white voter model in the Trump administration, again, we broke it down multiple ways.
00:44:37Were you comfortable with it?
00:44:38Absolutely.
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:39Because from a political consultant standpoint, remember, you're trying to get every vote imaginable.
00:44:44I don't care where the votes come from.
00:44:46I need to make sure that the candidates' messages are focusing on those people.
00:44:51And so, look, if Trump's messages, as an example, had focused more on black issues and black voters were our
00:44:58target, so be it.
00:44:59If that's where he was aligned, that's what you do.
00:45:02You take those messages and you use them to encourage supporters and voters to come out for your causes.
00:45:09It's that simple.
00:45:10And so it doesn't matter who we're targeting.
00:45:12We're targeting voters of all demographics, all persuasions, because that's how you win elections.
00:45:18When you win elections, you hold power.
00:45:20I think a lot of politicians realize, well, this is playing the race card a little bit, but he gets
00:45:26votes.
00:45:27Let's do it.
00:45:27It's not, I don't think, so much racism in the sense that I want to harm black people.
00:45:37It's more like opportunism in that I see something that can help me, so I'm going to do it and
00:45:44I don't care.
00:45:45Stephen Miller came on as speechwriter and senior policy advisor for Trump,
00:45:50and he began to use tactics that are often used by white supremacist groups to recruit people,
00:45:55things like inserting very graphic, gory descriptions of migrant crimes into Trump's speeches.
00:46:01Brutally beaten and left to bleed to death.
00:46:04And into his policy proposals. For example, the immigration plan that Trump put out in 2015 references this migrant taking
00:46:13a hammer and bashing in a woman's eye sockets.
00:46:15Beaten to death with a hammer.
00:46:17You got the undesirables who just come in and wreak havoc, so they got to have some control over it.
00:46:23You're going to turn on the TV and see somebody fight as hard for you as the other side fights
00:46:27for illegal immigrants.
00:46:28Stephen Miller was introduced to me right before Trump ran, and it was with the understanding that it wasn't explicitly
00:46:34written in email, but Stephen would pitch to you.
00:46:37And what that meant was Stephen would, you know, tell you what to write.
00:46:42It's common for reporters to receive pitches from, you know, from politicians' offices.
00:46:48What is not common is for a ostensible news site to receive a press release, like as Breitbart did,
00:46:57ghosts written by Miller to put under the byline of Breitbart News and to make it the lead of the
00:47:04Breitbart News website.
00:47:05How many children are dead because of our sanctuary cities?
00:47:08When I was in middle school, my brother was good friends with Stephen Miller.
00:47:13And one day, starting in high school, Stephen Miller told most of his friends, who were mostly brown because this
00:47:20was Los Angeles,
00:47:21I can't be your friend anymore because you have a family of immigrants, your family's Mexican, your parents don't speak
00:47:29English, whatever it was.
00:47:30I actually have tried to figure out the nicest thing I could say about Stephen Miller,
00:47:36which is that he didn't hide behind a computer screen.
00:47:39He would get up in front of the whole school in an assembly of thousands of kids and literally have
00:47:44things thrown at him and say,
00:47:47Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we
00:47:54have plenty of janitors who are made to do it for us?
00:47:58He did it for the shock value and it made him, you know, a mini superstar in the regional conservative
00:48:05media.
00:48:05I will say and I will do things that no one else in their right mind would say or do.
00:48:13In some ways, I think that made him valuable to the White House.
00:48:18He was writing a playbook that hadn't been written yet.
00:48:20Miller is obsessed with immigration and he would email me after a story was up and say,
00:48:27and try to flatter, you know, flatter me saying,
00:48:29It was such a great story. I told Bannon about this.
00:48:31And then Bannon will reply, This is great. Katie wrote a great article.
00:48:36You know, just things like that to like make a 24 year old girl feel better about the racist greed
00:48:41she just wrote.
00:48:42They, you know, put out the false migrant crime statistics that migrants are responsible for thousands of deaths in America
00:48:50every year.
00:48:51Sadly, people are murdered all the time by illegals, as we have detailed on this program.
00:48:56When the reality is that maybe three or four deaths a year as a result of immigrant crimes.
00:49:02We're talking about it because Donald Trump brought this up as a campaign issue.
00:49:05They repeatedly exploited the death of Kate Steinle.
00:49:08Kate Steinle gunned down in the sanctuary city of San Francisco.
00:49:16A blonde blue eyed woman shot to death in San Francisco by an immigrant who was mentally ill.
00:49:24And who was later found not guilty of murder.
00:49:27The jury found Jose Inez Garcia Zarate not guilty of murder or manslaughter.
00:49:33This story, this beautiful young woman who died a tragic death.
00:49:38It was seized on by the Trump campaign.
00:49:45By Breitbart.
00:49:51To push the anti-immigrant agenda.
00:49:54Kate Steinle.
00:49:55Kate Steinle.
00:49:5632 year old Kate Steinle.
00:49:57You can take a highly emotional, horrible story and take that family's grief.
00:50:02And turn it into a cynical campaign to gain power.
00:50:06And to demonize, to demonize immigrants.
00:50:08Our hearts broke as a nation.
00:50:10Last summer, when Kate Steinle was murdered in cold blood.
00:50:13We had already, you know, decided as like our own judge and jury, you know, that this person was guilty.
00:50:23Therefore, we have to curb immigration to stop the crime, to stop our beautiful young white women from, you know,
00:50:30from being harmed by immigrants.
00:50:37The Steinle case, so you would write these stories and what would people say?
00:50:41People would react by saying justice for Kate Steinle almost as a, as a way to express their anger at
00:50:50immigration policies that they didn't even, weren't even aware of before the far right brought them to, and the Trump
00:50:56campaign brought them to their attention.
00:50:58So, I propose Kate's law.
00:51:01The Kate Steinle thing, we got offered on the Jeb campaign, Bill O'Reilly's producer called and said, quid pro
00:51:08quo, Jeb can come on the show tonight, like if you will support the Kate's law or whatever.
00:51:16And if Kate's law doesn't pass, then the world will know which senators and congresspeople are truly villainous.
00:51:22And as long as he talks about how important it is that we have this new law that cracks down
00:51:29on illegal immigrant crime.
00:51:31To sweep dangerous foreign nationals here illegally off the streets of America.
00:51:36I kind of think I was for him doing it, actually, now that I look back on it, because, you
00:51:42know, one cog in the wheel, fuck it.
00:51:43Like Kate's law, sure, like we'll support Kate's law.
00:51:46They'll get him a hit on Bill O'Reilly or getting her ass kicked in the polls.
00:51:50Like, maybe this will help, but the policy guys, or maybe Jeb himself, you know, said that they didn't support
00:51:57Kate's law for some reason.
00:51:58I don't even remember what the particulars are of it.
00:52:00But, like, this is just another prime example of the, like, conservative media, like, creating a, creating outrage, creating fear
00:52:10over something.
00:52:11You know, the voters then feeling like they should be afraid of it.
00:52:15And then politicians feeling like they need to play into that as well in order to, you know, make the
00:52:20voters like him.
00:52:21Aren't you close to xenophobia? You're talking about expelling millions and millions of people.
00:52:26We have to clean up the country. Our country is a mess.
00:52:28It's true that Trump appeals to open racists.
00:52:31But it's a big mistake to think that Trump's intention is to create a coalition of open racists, of skinheads
00:52:39and Klan members and Proud Boys.
00:52:41That's not what he's doing.
00:52:43Trump is looking for language that can scare people with racist stories where those people genuinely believe, genuinely believe, they're
00:52:54not racist.
00:52:55I am the least racist person that you have ever met.
00:53:00Trump is not racist.
00:53:02I don't understand how people can say, you know, that, you know, we're racist, we're this, we're that, we're that.
00:53:08We don't care. We welcome everybody.
00:53:12You know, we're in the United States of America and that's what it's all about.
00:53:15Don't ever, ever let anybody tell you that you're not a good person because you want to secure the border.
00:53:21They had to persuade those white voters who had voted for Barack Obama and Bill Clinton not to vote for
00:53:30me based on all kinds of attacks that, you know, lit people up.
00:53:37Hillary would let everybody come in, killers, criminals, drug dealers.
00:53:43Fuck Islam! Fuck them!
00:53:45The Muslims, the immigrants, all of that was just in general designed to either discourage people from voting for Democrats,
00:53:57namely in 2016, me, or to switch them to vote for the Republicans.
00:54:04We've got to be cautious with these new people coming in that we don't get ISIS moving in and terrorists
00:54:12that we don't even know.
00:54:13Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's
00:54:22representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.
00:54:28What about when he proposed banning Muslims? Were you around for that?
00:54:31No, I had talked to him about doing it.
00:54:33I said, when there's a terrorist attack, and there will be, domestically, because they're already attacking us, you know, ISIS
00:54:38and everything.
00:54:40Propose a Muslim ban. Propose something.
00:54:43And he goes to me, why don't you fucking propose that?
00:54:45You want me to get killed?
00:54:48You want me to get killed?
00:54:49I had even thought about, we had such sick shit. I never told him this, but I had even thought
00:54:55about, like, claiming that, like, the cartel leaders, we had to stop a plot for the cartel leaders to kidnap
00:55:01him during the campaign.
00:55:03I thought it would help us politically.
00:55:05The point at which I decided I could no longer be a registered Republican was during the Republican convention when
00:55:11Trump was being nominated.
00:55:12And he went, following the Republican convention, he went after the mother of a Muslim soldier who was killed.
00:55:21If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't
00:55:26allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.
00:55:28I thought, this is not my party. How are we letting this man be nominated? Why is no one in
00:55:34leadership speaking out and saying that's wrong?
00:55:37Most people look the other way to preserve their own power.
00:55:40Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States, winning the most unreal, surreal election we have ever
00:55:53seen.
00:55:53Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business. Complicated.
00:55:57With Trump in particular, he realized, you know what? I don't have to be subtle. My base loves it. We
00:56:04can manufacture the villain and they'll eat it up.
00:56:07Hell, I became president often. So when Charlottesville happens, I don't have to condemn the Nazis.
00:56:14We're following breaking news out of Virginia. The governor has declared a state of emergency in Charlottesville after white supremacist
00:56:22protests turned violent in that town.
00:56:25I talked to Trump that day. He called me. And I explained to him what I had seen on the
00:56:32ground, what I had heard. And he says, Terry, what do you want me to do?
00:56:37I said, Mr. President, this is your moment. And I said, let me be very clear. You've got to come
00:56:43out. You need to condemn the white supremacists who are here.
00:56:46Call them out by name that white supremacy is not acceptable behavior. And you need to call out the neo
00:56:55-Nazis.
00:56:56He said, OK, I'll do it. Great. Felt pretty good. I waited. I waited. I waited. I waited four hours
00:57:04to do my press conference.
00:57:05But I wanted the president to speak because, you know, he has the biggest bully pulpit and he can, you
00:57:10know, bring us together if he says the right words.
00:57:12And he didn't. He came out and said there were good people on both sides.
00:57:16You also had people that were very fine people on both sides.
00:57:22You know exactly what happened. He agreed with me on the phone.
00:57:28Yes, Terry, I'll come out and say that. Great. Terrific.
00:57:31So what happened in those four hours? Was it Bannon? Was it Miller?
00:57:36Was it Miller? Somebody in the White House got to him and said, no, sir. No, you will not condemn
00:57:45neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
00:57:47Because these are wedge issues to drive out their voters. And he wasn't going to do anything that would offend
00:57:56any of his voters.
00:57:58We crafted a statement in that example. And he marked it up. Didn't like some of the soft language you
00:58:04use. Wanted to use harder language.
00:58:06I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it. And you don't have any doubt
00:58:11about it either.
00:58:11The number of enemies that the right is putting up on the board. If you're not, you know, if you
00:58:20don't feel right about not, you know, being, you know, nice to black people.
00:58:25And maybe you've got immigrants working for you. Well, then let's find another target that you can, you know, be
00:58:31upset about.
00:58:32And of course, if you're an Asian American, maybe you brought COVID over. So you won't yell, yell at them.
00:58:39The Wuhan virus. The Wuhan virus.
00:58:42They called it the Chinese virus, the Wuhan virus, the Kung flu.
00:58:47I can name Kung flu, Kung flu.
00:58:52This China virus. The president continues to call this the Chinese virus. It came from China.
00:58:57The problem with calling it the China virus is then people associate any Chinese person with the virus.
00:59:03Hate crimes against Asian Americans spiking since the pandemic began a year ago.
00:59:07And then it became shocking in the violence.
00:59:10Tonight, Attorney General Merrick Garland pointing to an alarming rise in violent attacks against Asian Americans.
00:59:15I was attacked on the street near Columbia at night.
00:59:19Nearly 3,800 anti-Asian hate incidents from March 2020 through February have been reported.
00:59:25There's always been hate movements in American politics, right?
00:59:28I mean, you go back to Father Coughlin.
00:59:30I challenge every Jew in this nation.
00:59:33The Klan. I mean, there's tons.
00:59:36What's different about this moment is that anger and hate and grievance has been adopted as fundamentally true to a
00:59:45major American political party, Republican Party.
00:59:48That hasn't happened before. Not in our lifetime.
00:59:51Donald Trump woke us up. They have awakened a sleeping giant with a terrible resolve.
00:59:58The Republican Party, this isn't an aberration of the Republican Party.
01:00:02It is a racially driven grievance party and it's comfortable with being that.
01:00:08I would love to believe that Liz Cheney is the future of the Republican Party.
01:00:12It's not. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the future of the Republican Party.
01:00:16Joe Biden's five million illegal aliens are on the verge of replacing you, replacing your jobs and replacing your kids
01:00:25in school.
01:00:26You can achieve power by opening Pandora's box, but it's dangerous, right?
01:00:31So I think the generation of politicians who did have that living memory of the Nazi experience and World War
01:00:40II and the acres and acres of blood that were caused by demagogues who were unleashing the fears of the
01:00:47public,
01:00:47they understood that there was power to be gained from that, but that it has to be used very judiciously.
01:00:53The fascinating thing about Donald Trump is he completely flips over that whole game board and he turns the dog
01:01:02whistle into the train whistle.
01:01:03It would have been impossible for him to do this without kind of the ground being laid by 55 years
01:01:11of Republican dog whistling.
01:01:13We will also be a country of law and order.
01:01:23Trump dusted off the Nixon machine and he did a software upgrade, rebooted it and ran it in 2016.
01:01:29We need to restore respect for law and order in the United States of America.
01:01:33I actually was part of a program at Wellesley College and my professors assigned me to work for the Republican
01:01:43House Conference Committee.
01:01:45I remember going to Nixon's speech once he got nominated in the summer of 1968 and I thought it was
01:01:52very dark.
01:01:53We see Americans hating each other, fighting each other, killing each other at home.
01:01:58Looking back now, you can see all of the trend lines that he was pulling together.
01:02:03If we fail in the battle against crime, then we fail not only ourselves, but our heritage and the future
01:02:09of our children.
01:02:10I am your president of law and order.
01:02:13Law and order.
01:02:14The video of an officer with his knee on Floyd's neck as Floyd pleads for his life has shocked Americans.
01:02:20In recent days, our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists, violent mobs, arsonists, looters, criminals, rioters, Antifa and others.
01:02:33Washington, D.C. besieged by peaceful protest.
01:02:37Unified in the message painted on the road below their feet, Black Lives Matter.
01:02:42George Floyd's death happens in a context of the pandemic.
01:02:46We're all stuck at home. We can't go anywhere. We all watch it together.
01:02:50And there's something about that that not only sparks kind of this large global movement,
01:02:58but also sparks something else within a subtext of this constituency that is deeply antagonistic towards questions of race.
01:03:11Stop the nonsense. These are killers. And these are people who hate white people.
01:03:15They're people who hate white men in particular.
01:03:17Black Lives Matter and, you know, and the domestic terrorists posing as protesters, a.k.a. Antifa.
01:03:24There was some violence at Black Lives Matter protests, to be sure.
01:03:26But research shows the overwhelming majority of the protests were entirely peaceful.
01:03:31A peaceful Black Lives Matter protest was held overnight.
01:03:33Very peaceful here today.
01:03:35To peacefully protest the death of George Floyd.
01:03:37How many innocent Americans have these people hurt? How many have they murdered?
01:03:42We don't know that number.
01:03:44When you say Black Lives Matter, that's inherently racist.
01:03:47First time I ever heard of Black Lives Matter, I said, that's a terrible name. It's so discriminatory.
01:03:53It's bad for Black people. It's bad for everybody.
01:03:56I first really started hearing and listening to Black Lives Matter last summer, summer of 2020.
01:04:02Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization.
01:04:05The president calls it a Marxist organization. I do, too.
01:04:09Black Lives Matter doesn't really care about Black lives.
01:04:11I don't believe that Black Lives Matter really cares about Black lives.
01:04:16Holding a high-powered rifle and wielding a pistol in these now viral images,
01:04:21Mark and Patricia McCloskey looked ready for a gunfight
01:04:25as a protest moved through their mansion-lined St. Louis neighborhood.
01:04:29Get the hell out of my neighborhood!
01:04:31They were charged on Monday with gun crimes, placing those protestors in fear of injury.
01:04:37And the protestors, by all reports, were quite peaceful.
01:04:41George Floyd was murdered, let's say, by a white policeman. Okay?
01:04:46I said this on television a couple of weeks ago.
01:04:48When a cop kills a thug, we're supposed to change the world over it.
01:04:53But we have this national outrage, allegedly, because George Floyd was killed by a policeman. Okay?
01:05:01And that's discrimination.
01:05:05They thought they needed to defend themselves by taking up arms,
01:05:09as if they themselves were under threat.
01:05:13When it's the racist story that's really doing the violence here.
01:05:19The McCloskey standing out on their lawns with rifles shown was definitely a symbol for me.
01:05:27It was a symbol that we are going to have to stand up for our rights.
01:05:31Mark McCloskey will be among the speakers at next week's Republican National Convention.
01:05:36No matter where you live, your family will not be safe.
01:05:41I mean, Richard Nixon was simplistic compared to what we've got now.
01:05:45The mob, spurred on by their allies and the media, will try to destroy you.
01:05:50These people play for keeps.
01:05:52They want to work hand-in-hand with their media outlets, now their social media outlets,
01:05:57and they think they're on the brink of being very successful.
01:06:02The path to power here, what we're going to do is that you have to start at the school board
01:06:07level.
01:06:07Republican Glenn Youngkin has been elected governor of Virginia.
01:06:12Youngkin targeting the fury over critical race theory, which is not taught in Virginia schools,
01:06:17but the issue becoming a lightning rod for conservatives.
01:06:20I helped behind the scenes in the Youngkin campaign in Virginia.
01:06:24The education was a cultural war issue. It was the issue that was divisive.
01:06:29It drove people to anger and frustration, and that's motivated them to come out and vote.
01:06:34They brought crying moms. They brought crying children up to the stage.
01:06:38They used that as a campaign issue to leverage that position and to win that governorship, and he did.
01:06:44The moms of America, many of whom will spit on the floor at the sound of Donald Trump's name, okay,
01:06:51are our natural allies in this.
01:06:53We are an army of moms and parents that will not stop until we're heard.
01:06:57Amen! No critical race!
01:06:59Critical race theory is American history. No, it's Marxist history, intended to deconstruct and divide.
01:07:04It's all strategy. Look, I mean, critical race theory is truly taught only in law schools.
01:07:12I directed the Florida Department of Education to prohibit critical race theory.
01:07:17It's a way of thinking about how the legal system helped to support and enforce segregation.
01:07:26Critical race theory is anti-white, and it's not American.
01:07:30This language about critical race theory, you didn't have to know what it was.
01:07:36It just had the language critical, race, and theory in there.
01:07:40Those three words then became a powerful dog whistle.
01:07:45The Biden administration is pushing toxic critical race theory and illegal discrimination into our children's schools.
01:07:53What happens, specifically now, specifically what we're dealing with in the post-George Floyd world, where there was mass protests
01:08:00against the murder of George Floyd,
01:08:01and people are like, you know what? We need to do a little bit more for diversity, for equity, for
01:08:05inclusion.
01:08:05You know what? We need to have more people of color speak out.
01:08:08We need to read a little bit more books by black authors, because it's the reality we live in.
01:08:13And this makes some people uncomfortable. It's not a perfect science.
01:08:16This is a racist, vile, and evil ideology that has infected this once great school district.
01:08:21So, with CRT, they're like, aha, what we can do is we can take parental concern over some of these
01:08:30books that are being taught with diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we can manufacture a villain.
01:08:35Good propaganda is always wrapped in a seat of truth.
01:08:38You know, you take one little truth that you can kind of put up on the pedestal, and then you
01:08:42wrap all this bullshit around it.
01:08:43This is re-education. This is indoctrination of our children. And it is so destructive, the only way I can
01:08:51truly describe it is evil.
01:08:53I think critical race theory is wrong, and I don't think it should be taught in schools at all.
01:08:57What I've discovered is that critical race theory has become, in essence, the default ideology of the federal bureaucracy, and
01:09:04is now being weaponized against the American people.
01:09:07With the mask mandates particularly, then the vaccine mandates, and then CRT, and how CRT and social emotional learning, SEL,
01:09:14exploded, that was a galvanizing, organizing principle at the school board level, and galvanized the American parents.
01:09:22School officials tell me this was the largest group they've ever had attend a school board meeting.
01:09:27Just because you guys changed the name to equity does not mean it's not the same thing as the critical
01:09:31race theory.
01:09:31I mean, those kinds of sound bites where people went, well, I don't want my child indoctrinated. I want my
01:09:38child educated. Why can't we have real education? Why do we have to have this indoctrination?
01:09:44Dr. James Whitfield, the first black principal at Colleyville Heritage High School, officially removed from his position during an emotional
01:09:50school board meeting.
01:09:51All of it over what he says was a false accusation of promoting critical race theory.
01:09:55I mean, this is brilliant that we're now having national debates about what happens in classrooms. It's brilliant.
01:10:05Go and run for your school board. Get on to your city council. Do whatever you have to do to
01:10:14protect what's being taught in our schools.
01:10:18The folks who are into the sound bites never have to define it.
01:10:21The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think critical race theory.
01:10:28They ply on a fear. They ply on the feelings that what this is doing is this is assault, an
01:10:35assault against your children. And we are here to protect your children.
01:10:40Getting critical race theory out of our schools is not just a matter of values. It's also a matter of
01:10:47national survival. We have no choice. The fate of any nation ultimately depends upon the willingness of its citizens to
01:10:58lay down, and they must do this, lay down their very lives to defend their country.
01:11:16What happened on January 6th? You had the American flag taken down, the Trump flag raised, and the Confederate flag
01:11:25raised inside the capital of the United States.
01:11:32They did what the 9-11 terrorists failed to do.
01:11:35The president invited me, and he invited me. I had to come.
01:11:40And the Republican Party had a chance to hold Trump accountable, and they blinked.
01:11:44How is that about white being white?
01:11:46Well, how many black people did you see breaking into the Capitol? Not many.
01:11:53Any time you're carrying Confederate flags, it's about race.
01:12:00The Oath Keepers were there. The Three Percenters were there. Also, the QAnon networks. Also, the Ku Klux Klan, the
01:12:08Aryan Nations, white Christian nationalist groups, multiple religious cults were there, and many other groups like that.
01:12:17Some of them would try to recruit me. One of them came up to me and said, are you my
01:12:22brother?
01:12:24Racism, whether we want to admit it or not, was an undercurrent to what happened on January 6th.
01:12:30Apparently, they seen, even through my mask, they saw my skin color and said, you're not even an American.
01:12:35Like, we just have to cut through the bullshit and call it for what it was.
01:12:39One woman in a pink MAGA shirt yelled, you hear that, guys? This nigger voted for Joe Biden.
01:12:47Then the crowd, perhaps around 20 people, joined in screaming, boo, fucking nigger.
01:12:54The majority of the folk who were arrested came from places where white population is in decline.
01:13:04This fear of being displaced, this fear of being replaced, right, is driving political behavior, driving folk to engage in
01:13:13something as dramatic as assaulting the Capitol itself.
01:13:16So, here's what terrifies them, right? Of Americans 15 years and under, the majority are non-white.
01:13:25So, odds are really, really, really good they're going to turn 18 and still be non-white.
01:13:31And that's the end of the Republican Party, if they let these people vote.
01:13:35Of the new census right now, only one out of every 10 new Americans is white.
01:13:42That's what they're afraid of. That's what it's about.
01:13:46All the Stephen Millers in the world can't stop that from happening.
01:13:49I don't think you can really find an example in history of a country where a racial majority has lost
01:13:57its top spot in its political power
01:14:00and hegemony to a multicultural arrangement without there being violence and tremendous trauma and dislocation.
01:14:09And the people who are organizing the violence and the assault on democratic institutions are perfectly well aware of what
01:14:17they're doing
01:14:18and what their propaganda messages are.
01:14:21And they're mobilizing that anxiety and that hatred around scapegoats and then around attacks on democracy itself.
01:14:33We have to begin to draw the through line. There are those who believe that culturally and demographically they're under
01:14:43threat.
01:14:43There is a plan. The plan was to infiltrate a hundred million illegal immigrants.
01:14:48And these people would dilute what they call the pool of patriots.
01:14:52Demographic change is the key to the Democratic Party's political ambitions.
01:14:57In order to win and maintain power, Democrats plan to change the population of the country.
01:15:03One of the best examples, I think, of an idea that was on the fringe that has moved into the
01:15:07mainstream is the Great Replacement Theory.
01:15:10Democrats believe that they have to repeal and replace the American electorate.
01:15:16In political terms, this policy is called the Great Replacement.
01:15:19This is this idea that white, kind of European descent people are being culturally and demographically replaced by people of
01:15:29color.
01:15:29The replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from far away countries.
01:15:33So, in April 2021, you have Tucker Carlson on his show explicitly endorse the Great Replacement Theory.
01:15:41To reduce the political power of people whose ancestors lived here and dramatically increase the proportion of Americans newly arrived
01:15:47from the Third World.
01:15:48And this sent a shockwave through the white supremacist community, who are talking about how, well, Tucker Carlson just red
01:15:57-pilled millions of people because of his reach.
01:16:10The people at the top don't necessarily believe in replacement theory.
01:16:14The Great Replacement Plan.
01:16:16At the top, it's seen as an opportunity.
01:16:19You know, it's seen as a strategy.
01:16:21It's seen as a way to make money and gain power.
01:16:25So, I think we have to differentiate between, you know, the people that are kind of moving the pawns around
01:16:31the chessboard,
01:16:32and the people that are just being moved around and not even know about it, that they are actually pawns.
01:16:43Who think that their place in society, in American society, is being taken away from them and given to someone
01:16:51else who's not American.
01:16:52Talk to me about this term, invasion.
01:16:55When you hear that term being thrown out like that, it really, it causes you to pause for a second.
01:16:59When you look at the social demographic economic data, it does not align itself with the fear that we see
01:17:07these people.
01:17:08They've not been displaced from positions of power.
01:17:11They've not been displaced from the workforce.
01:17:15But they don't rely upon facts.
01:17:19It's fiction.
01:17:20And if I can create a sense, whether perceived or real, that even what we have now, which is diminished,
01:17:27is going to be gone altogether,
01:17:28then that creates an either greater cauldron of fear and calamity.
01:17:32This is a different type of invasion.
01:17:34Intended one day in the next 15 to 20 years to become citizens and to become voters.
01:17:40So the Democrats, in their view, have a lock on this country forever.
01:17:43They want to replace the American electorate with a third world electorate.
01:17:4848% of Americans, overall Americans, agreed that demographic changes were part of a, quote, purposeful plan to replace white
01:18:00voters.
01:18:01The data shows, social scientists and political scientists have shown, that particularly among white evangelical Republican men, the feeling of
01:18:12cultural and demographic threat is heightened to the point to where they are susceptible to violence.
01:18:19What would solve the whole thing in the border if they would just start shooting?
01:18:24Only shoot a copa and they would go home.
01:18:27Panic in El Paso this morning when a day of shopping turned into horror with an active shooter on the
01:18:34loose.
01:18:34You think about El Paso. This, the shooter, young, young man comes down and what does he do? In the
01:18:40name of what? 2,300 page manifesto.
01:18:43Law enforcement officials in Texas say they believe he wrote an essay on the internet and posted it an hour
01:18:49or so before the shooting. It says the attack was motivated by anti-immigrant hatred.
01:18:54In the name of the fear that we're going to be replaced.
01:18:57Shots rang out just before 10 a.m.
01:18:59We're under fire. We're under fire.
01:19:01The chaos unfolding at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.
01:19:04You think about Pittsburgh, the shooter said that this global Jewish cabal is funding, right, these immigrants to change the
01:19:11very nature of the country.
01:19:12And look what happened, the slaughter.
01:19:14He had posted about the caravan of migrants moving up from Central America, called them invaders.
01:19:22Deadly violence at a house of worship in San Diego. One person is dead after a synagogue shooting.
01:19:28In his manifesto, he says Jews are planning a genocide of the European race.
01:19:33Police say 13 people were shot, 10 of them killed Saturday afternoon at this Topps friendly market in Northeast Buffalo.
01:19:40The young man who walks into the supermarket in Buffalo. Now, that's just the spectacle of bloody violence.
01:19:48My wife and I had been over in Niagara Falls. Coming back, my sister-in-law called and said,
01:19:52did you hear about what happened at Topps? I said, no, I didn't hear anything.
01:19:55Breaking news out of Buffalo, New York. A mass shooting at a Topps grocery store.
01:20:00And I told my wife, I'm going and check on my mom, because Topps is only a couple of blocks
01:20:04from the nursing home that she goes to every day to take care of my dad.
01:20:10News had started coming out. I go down to Topps. She drove a 2020 black Hyundai.
01:20:15My mom was a thrift shopper and all that, so she would always have a bunch of crap in the
01:20:18car.
01:20:19She would have signs like, God is my co-pilot. She would handwrite with maybe a nail polish or something
01:20:26and put it in the window.
01:20:28That's my mom. Anyway, it was my mom's car. The detective went in and he didn't come back.
01:20:40So, I mean, I was by myself. I was crying. And they came and they put their arms around me
01:20:48and confirmed what I already knew, that she was in there.
01:20:52And there's nothing to say. What are you going to say? I mean, what could they have said?
01:20:58Authorities also say the manifesto revealed the suspect was motivated by something called replacement theory.
01:21:04My dad's a couple of blocks away, you know.
01:21:11I mean, 68 years, man, she was his caretaker. You know what I'm saying? Every day, she took care of
01:21:19him.
01:21:19She's the only reason he was alive. I mean, I mean, what am I going to say to him?
01:21:28The things we talk about, the words we use, the notions we put out there, they become reality.
01:21:35The coronation of Kamala Harris is underway. Marxist Kamala Harris, comrade Kamala.
01:21:40You can say Kamala. You can say Kamala. I said, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter what I say.
01:21:46I couldn't care less if I mispronounce it or not.
01:21:48And the more of a camera and the more of a platform we give that type of messaging, those words,
01:21:57the more the actions are taken,
01:21:59and those actions go on to create the reality that we live in.
01:22:03People who work in conservative media are going to keep selling fear.
01:22:07She is a radical, cratering our sense of self, our southern border, our national identity.
01:22:13They've seen that it's worked, and they're going to continue to do it.
01:22:16The first Samoan, Malaysian, low IQ, former California prosecutor.
01:22:23Think about the types of people that are being drawn to Donald Trump's party.
01:22:26Think about what the 22-year-old is like, who says, I want to sign up for this. Right?
01:22:32That's a category difference, like a kind of, a type of person, than had gotten into politics in the past.
01:22:38I am worried about more violence. I am. And, um, you know, I think it's something that's going to affect
01:22:45people across the country.
01:22:48I am optimistic because I am a preacher, I am a pastor, I am a believer, so my hope is
01:22:52not of this world.
01:22:54Um, my hope is built on nothing less.
01:22:57So, you know, I mean, listen, I live long enough because I lived through the civil rights movement, I lived
01:23:03through the Vietnam War protest movement, and I've seen things get better and I've seen things get worse.
01:23:09And I know sometimes it takes what we're going through now to get people motivated to do what is necessary
01:23:17to change this.
01:23:18It's not going to happen watching the evening news and being disgusted.
01:23:22It's not going to happen calling your friend and sharing your sentiments and ventilating, you know, your frustration.
01:23:29There are enough good people of all hues and colors and stations of life who really believe that this ought
01:23:36to be a country that's open to all,
01:23:38and that embraces diversity, uh, and sees what we presently are experiencing as insanity and racism and prejudice and hatred.
01:23:47I've been trying to teach the young people that for most of the existence of our species, people have lived
01:23:53under bullies and dictators and kings, people like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
01:24:00Democracy is totally the exception. That's the magnificence of America. That's why people love America.
01:24:06Because even with the flawed beginnings we have with slavery and so on, the ideals were there to create the
01:24:13world's greatest multiracial, multicultural, multireligious democracy.
01:24:16And we're on the path to getting there if the dictators don't catch up and destroy all our institutions first.
01:24:53THE CITY ADVANCES
01:24:54AND LEADER
01:25:12One, two, so much failed.
