Kate Bolduan gives a fresh take on todays top stories. Without pay. Miep mind you, this is coming on the eve of violent clashes between white nationalists and counter protesters in charlottesville, virginia that left one woman dead. After which the president said they were fine people on both sides and mind you, this is a day after the president S Justice Department was slapped for brazenly disregarding a judges order over asylum cases and after one of the president s most high profile supporters said this. It dud seem lioes seem like a we know and love doesnt exist anymore. Massive demographic change s hae been hoisted among the american people. They are changes we didnt vote for and never liked. The first ladys parents became
u. S. Citizens as a result of, wait for it, Chain Migration. Yes. This. We have to end Chain Migration. We have to end Chain Migration. Except maybe when the Chain Migration is coming from slovania and they are the parents of your wife, i guess. We wrapped this week asking the question we have asking many times before. When it comes to Race Relations, where is the president in all of this and where are we america in why is the president going back at this in. Reporter no one should be surprised the president is back at this. Marched in charlottesville killing a young lady. Just a number of other things that are unacceptable in this country today. Is that the type of country we want to live in. We cant allow this to continue to fester. Its already gotten out of hand. All of this kind of happening at this same moment, van. When the president says most of the players arent able to define what they are protesting. Its not like it was just defined. One of the players at the fore front of the protest was on the show a year ago in september of last year. Very eloquent. Maybe for the president , but for everyone. Here is what Malcolm Jenkins say about why they are protesting. If you go back to where the knee even came from, its all about racial inequality when it
comes to our justice system, the education gap, economics. We feel like we have a responsibility to effectuate change and this was an opportunity to grab a hold of that responsibility. Van, what is the president doing with this idea of the player dont know what they are protesting . Unfortunately, he continues to do this kind of iq insult against africanamericans. He calls Maxine Waters low iq. He calls lebron james dumb. He calls don lemon dumb. He says the players cant define stuff. What all these people have in common is they are all africanamerican or in the nfl case, mostly africanamerican. Thats a standard racial stereotype that black people are inferior to white people. He tends the play in that nasty end of the pool quite a bit. Thats what we have going on
demographics is what we departments vote for. She tried to distance herself in statement. Theres no yeah. I see you shaking your head. Theres no dog whistle here. Theres no talk of Gang Violence or border or security or terrorism. Or even undocumented immigrants. Shes taking aim at undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants and these social, economic, cultural changes that were seeing in this country, in her mind, over the last few years, which to her and a certain segment of the population are not what they consider this country to be about. Youre right. She did try to walk it back a little bit. This is not a dog whistle. Certain things you cannot walk back. She is wrong. When she talks about this is not what we voted for. The Undocumented Pop Youlation in this country represent less
than a fourth of all immigrants who are else. Every one here came through legal channels. We did vote for this by electing our congress that formulated our immigration laws. Shes promoting a myth and she knows what she is doing. She started off the conversation before this meditation on immigration. Its began talking about alexandria o costio. She means people who are changing the face of the nation. What is so terrible about this is that what concerns have been saying is we are postracial. You liberals, you progressives keep raising these issues. The race card. Youre playing the race card. Nobody cares about racial stuff anymore. We might care about terrorism or gangs or were following if rule of law but its not about race at all. Then she goes never mind. Its about race. I dont care. If youre not a terrorism, i dont care. If youre not on welfare, i dont care. You are brown and im uncomfortable. What did we just spend the last five years talking about if the whole time we were right to feel like this feels like its about rice. Th race. Now we can have the honest conversation. Its about race. She views it as a majority white country. If shes unhappy now, shes going to be miserable in the next generation. Thanks to mixed race marriages and immigration, all sorts of people in this country. It makes us more diverse. The census is now Laura Ingraham mortal enemy. Dante, a quote that sticks out here and its fitting for all of these topics, it came from the
wall street journal who did some reporting on the sworn deposition that Cowboys Owner jerry jones gave. He said that trump told him when it comes to the nfl protest this, quote, this is a very winning strong issue for me. Tell everybody you cant win this one. This one lifts me. If thats the position of the president , what do can you do with it . I think you just have to keep fighting. Theres always been adversity with those with progressive values and fought against injustice. Not just in this country but around the world. Martin luther king fought day in and day out against inequalities, racial inequalities, militarism, against poor people. He fought for the poor peoples campaign. He was assassinated. Same thing with a number of other fellows around the world. Its not unfortunately, something that will not go away. You have to keep fighting. The players have talked about is they tried that best to ignore the president and continue to go to local city halls and continue to meet with governors and attorneys generals, continue to donate hundreds of,0 thousands d millions of dollars. The players have been at the fore front of Criminal Justice reform, not the president. He would see these guys as al alli allies. As we all noted and van jones said its about race. He tries to down play its not about race but we all know it is. Ill tell you, i know there are many more players that are like this as youre noting but Malcolm General Kinjenkins is a example of this. Putting his money where his mouth is and giving his time to his community and try to bring about the change hes protesting and speaking out about. They are allies and should be a
l l allies. Great to see you. Thank you guys. Really appreciate it. Be sure to catch van jones show this weekend. Saturday night, 7 00 eastern. Van is sitting down with snl star and somebody who is never short of opinions and who has a lot to say. Leslie jones. Joneses that ill never be able to keep up with. I really appreciate it.

Com. The strange trial of Donald Trump Campaign manager just got stranger. At the same time Robert Muellers investigation just took an unexpected turn. First in washington today, the woman known as the manhattan madame is due to appear before the grand jury. Her name is Kristen Davis. She was once a staple of new yorks gossip pages. What does she have to do with the 2016 Election Interference . Stand by for that. Prosecutors are expected to wrap up the case against Paul Manafort but not before more drama with the judge. This time involving a noise machine. Were covering both as they unfold. Lets begin with Paul Manaforts trial. Court just started and what are we talks about a White Noise Machine for . Reporter you know, i got to tell you, court started but it
didnt really start. You can call it a nonstart. They came in around 9 49 eastern time. It looked like it was going to be Business As Usual but there were just long Bench Conferences and essentially no movement. Now, just about half past 11 11 00re time, the judge has instructed the jury not to talk a about the case and allow them to leave. Said well start again later today. A long delay here in the courthouse. Not clear what all of that means. It could mean anything. Paul manafort is in the courtroom. Its possible there could be anything from an issue with the juror to an issue with evidence. Well wait the see when they reconvene this afternoon. Thats one thing. I think the other thing that you have to point out is there have been a number of long ben ch
conferences including one ant another Bench Conference they had earlier in the trial. Thats when rick gates got asked by Defense Counsel if he had a number of conversations with the mueller team about the Trump Campaign in 2016. An objection there. A long talk at the bench. They decided to seal or they were requested the judge to seal the conversation at the bench because there were some current concerns that it has to do with the Mueller Investigation. All a bigamist r mystery. They are trying to keep it out of earshot of jury and public. Its the way big trials go. Just as prosecutors are supposed to be wrapping up today, lets see what happens. Great to see you. Thanks so much. Lets go to washington where the manhattan madame faces the grand
jury. Why is mueller interested in her . Reporter we dont know the answer to that. We know she will appear at this courthouse to testify before the grand jury. Last week she was interviewed by Mueller Investigator as well. We dont know the details of how that interview went. Keep in mind she does have close relationship with roger stone, the former trump advisor who is also embroiled in the Mueller Investigation. Reporter shes known as the manhattan madame. Kristin davis testifying before a grand jury. Investigators are interested in her tries to a long time trump advisor, roger stone. She and stone have been Close Friends for decade. In a Statement Stone told cnn last week, Kristen Davis is a long time frepds and associate to mine. Im the god father to her 2yearold son. She knows nothing about collusion, wikileaks collaboration or any other inpro
p pryty. Im highly confident she will testify truthfully if called upon to do so. Davis once ran a high end prostitution ring. She went to jail as part of the scandal involving new york governor. The remorse i feel will always be with me. Reporter shes worked with stone over the years. In late 2016, she joined his payroll to help him with clerical tasks. Muellers team has been looking into possible contact between stone and wikileakss founder during the 2016 campaign. Assange denies the Hack Government came from the russian government approximate while stone bragged about being in contact with assange. I have communicated with assange. I believe the next pertain to
the Clinton Foundation but theres no telling what the October Surprise may be. Reporter he later walked it back. I follow eed assange twitter feed. I read every interview he gave. You can foreshadow what hes doing. Theres no evidence to the conditi contrary. Reporter investigators have been probing stones finances and his personal life. People familiar with the situation say two witnesses were asked whether stone was the father of davis son. With the caption, why do fbi agents dispatch by Robert Mueller keep asking a number of My Kurpcurrent and former assocs if im the babys father. What does this have to do with russian collusion and the 2016 election. We dont know how extensive or how long the testimony will be today. Kate, this is just one more
reminder theres so much about Mueller Investigation that we do not mknow. Coming up, a federal judge erupting at the Trump Administration threatening to hold Jeff Sessions in contempt and ordering plane to be turned around. Why . Thats next. This is your wakeup call.

I asked because we know President Trump is always one step away from firing him over the mueller invesnvestigation. A judge in d. C. Threatened to hold sessions in contempt after learning two Asylum Seekers had been put on plane and sent back to el salvador. The judge demanded the plane be turned around. Were following this story for us. Shes joining me right now. Walk us through how this all went down in court. I think its important to point out they were deported and her attorney found out this woman and her daughter had been deported while they were in a hearing about trying to stop her deportation. They found out when they were in a recess. When she came back and informerinformer
informed the judge, thats when the judge went off. Thats when the judge threatened to hold them in contempt. It looks like this woman, who goes by carmen, theyre wanting to remain anonymous, they were put on a plane early in the morning of the day of this Emergency Hearing and almost in el salvador by the time her attorney found out during that recess. The judge called it outrageous. How can you just spirit off these people while still waiting for any sort of ruling and told them you are either going to turn that plane around in the air or as soon as they land in el salvador, youre going to fly right back to the United States to texas which is what ended up happening. Thats what ended up happening. N they genever got off the plane. It turned back around and landed in the evening yesterday in texas. They were not gone for a full
day. The judge said it should never happened. Its really amazing. What happens now for this family . Theres been an Emergency Order Put in place. Not just for those two but the other six part of this aclu lawsuit against the government. It focuses on Asylum Seekers. This particular woman said she had endured two decades worth of sexual abuse from her husband, gang, Death Threats and that no longer qualifies for asylum. The aclu is trying to allow them to claim asylum here in the United States. The judge has put it on hold. Can only imagine what it was like landed and then getting news and being flown back here.

A Place For Mom you know your family, we know senior living. Together well make the right choice. Rejected a rally from taking place there. They are planning one across from the white house. Joining me now, the mayor of charlottesville, virginia and a local activist who has petitioned to bring down the statue of robert e. Lee sparked a chain. May mayor, a year out, is charlottesville a different place in. Charlottesville is a different place in terms of that the conversation is being forced that wasnt happening before last august. People are being asked to choose sides to make it clear what side of history they want to be on. Were still far away from any goal. The last year has been spent in debate and seeking answers from last year. Mayor, how much of this do you put on the president . Well, you know, when you are
comfortable with spewing that kind of hate as 45 pyappears toe then it definitely is causing turmoil within the community and making people feel very comfortable with subjecting others to that level of hate. Mayor, i noticed you call him 45. Why dont you want to say his name . Listen, i was in an interview fi tired the other day and slipped up and i was disgusted. I think we all are very aware of what type of person currently occupies our white house and the terrorism that is faced the nation because partly because hes there. I mean a lot of those people have been in positions of power and that Boardroom Tables and influenced decisions forever but the fact they are willing to come to light, that should be
alarming to all of us. We have to call it what it is. I want to know what you think on this day. You were a High School Freshman when you wrote the petition to remove the statue as part of a school assignment. A year after the protest, the statue is still there. Same question to you, is Shrl Charlottesville a different place . Its not. We continue to fight it every single day. Our activism and organizing is not just contained this year or last year. Weve been doing this work every day and Kopti Inkopt Continuing Center and amplify black women. Have you had any conversations with anyone from the white house or anyone from
the administration on how to continue the conversation because you say nothing is different. This became a Huge National conversation. Yes, maybe it slips from the headlines but the conversation hasnt gone away. Have you heard anything from anyone in the administration to reach out . No one has reached out to me directly from the white house. What i would say as far as what they need to do is stop being racist. Its not that hard to not be a racist. Im not quite sure what i could give them as far as pointers but i think its pretty easy to not be a white supremacist and racist. Ill say for on zai, its hard to have a conversation who are not in space to be open minded and want change. Its clear that it would
probably be nothing that she could say to the white house that would make them shift. They seem pretty comfortable with their actions and what they are stirring up in our country and have been very comfortable living in statement and benefitting from White Impressiprivilege before now. Any conversation she would have with them to change, i maimagin they would have to be open to it. Black people are not going to be the ones to dismantle White Supremacy. We didnt create it so we wont dismantle it. It will take the president , 45, and his administration to tear down White Supremacy within their power and positions. We as civilians here in charlottesville, thats not our job. I was having a conversation with van jones at the top of the show and he was saying its tale of two president s. The words you hear him say, the things you see him tweet and
hes holding p ining panel and with van jones is working with the administration on Criminal Justice reforms which impacts africanamerican communities. What do you make of it . Again, i would have to have more sfrinformation about what y are working on. Its hard to produce results with that racism with someone who goes out and tweets and have News Conferences and thats their delivery. Not everybody can be at this table helping to Dismaptntle Wh has been put in place. It doesnt appear from what ive seen of the person currently occupying the white house that he would be the one. If van jones seems to think he is getting a different person behind closed doors, i would be leery of that but its something
thats needed. Hopefully its working. I would have a lot of questions. I would need a lot more information. Do you see signs of hope in the conversations about Race Relations in community but the broader conversation this has become that youve been part of . Do you see signs of hope . I see hope from the students especially from uva and in the community who are leading this fight to tear down white supreme si. The only hope that i have is people will pick the side they want to be on. If youre going to be racist, be openly ra lly racist so we know were fighting against. If youre not going to be racist, get on the side of justice and fight with us. Charlottesville is fighting this weekend and every day. Now is not the time to straddle the fence or call for civility and continue to silence people
color. Now is time to support them, put wro your resources behind them and caught out racism in all its forms. Really appreciate your voice in this. Thanks so much. Well be right back. Dinary vers.

The florida Secretary Of State is demanding more information right now after democratic senator bill nelson told the Tampa Bay Times that russian operatives have hacked into florida election systems. Heres the quote. They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about, nelson said. That understandably set off alarm bells, making it all the more troubling is that the Secretary Of State responded with this to the Tampa Bay Times. The Florida Department of state has received zero information from Senator Nelson or his staff that support his claims. Asked to clarify, Senator Nelson said this. Do you mean right now, or were you referring to 2016 . Right now. What do you mean theyre in the election records . What do you mean by that . Just exactly what i said. They have already penetrated certain counties in the state,
and they now have free rein to move about. Joining me right now is adam smith, Political Editor at the Tampa Bay Times. This is the people that spoke with and reported on nelsons claims. Great to see you. You too. Thanks, kate. Weve requested more information from Senator Nelson. We havent heard back. Weve requested interviews, havent heard back. Are you any closer to reconciling the differences here between statements from Senator Nelson and the florida secretary of States Office . No. I mean, it looks like nelson has got a little bit of egg on his face on one hand because theres no evidence. Hes got a lot of supervisors of elections sort of pushing back and asking for some clarification. On the other hand, senator marco rubio has been sounding this alarm for quite some time and pretty seriously. Does your gut tell you that nelson is mistaken or that nelson spoke publicly about something that is real but hes not authorized to speak about . It sort of seems like he got ahead of his skis and maybe had gone a little far with Classified Information that he shouldnt have. Adam, as im kind of thinking about it this morning, if he turns out to be wrong, like how much trouble is how much trouble is that for nelson, whos facing a tough reelection . And also, if hes right, what does that mean for the state of florida . Well, if hes right, it means potentially you could have some mayhem where people who think theyre registered to vote, who are registered to vote, should be registered to vote somehow have been removed from the rolls. That creates all kinds of confusion. If hes wrong or cant be shown hes right, it certainly gives ammunition to rick scott, our governor, and the boss of the Secretary Of State, whos pushing back on bill nelson, giving bill nelson a tough challenge for reelection. So that certainly doesnt help. Regardless, what is the state
and all 67 counties running the elections, what are they doing now in light of this . Are they doing anything different . You know, theyre getting some federal funding to tighten up their systems. I think right now theyre just sort of clamoring for some specific information, and its one of those things that there seems to be a gap. If theres Classified Information that cant be shared with those local Election Supervisors, thats not necessarily constructive. Thats just causing concern and doing presumably what the russians would want to do, raise doubts about the sanctity of our voting system. What are you hearing from folks there . It seems somethings got to give in terms of nelsons i mean, i assume nelson needs to clarify, at least speak with you guys to clarify a second time of Whats Going On here. Yeah, but there again, if youre dealing with classified
information, he cant clarify potentially. He got himself in trouble. Theres no question. Now republicans are sort of implying that hes a little foggy. Hes kind of a doddering old man at age 75. So thats not helping. But again, marco rubio has been sounding this alarm. He didnt quite go as far as bill nelson has, but hes been warning Election Supervisors of this for some time. In a tough reelection, as you said, everything is important. This is definitely one thing that goes into the important category. Adam smith, great to see you. Thanks so much. Thanks.
