Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. President Trump Campaigned on two distinct sets of promises. There was a group of people he was going to help and a group of people he was going to hurt. And by and large, he has kept the latter set of promises. We see it every day. He has relentlessly demonized and insulted immigrants, hispanics, african americans, muslims, and just generally people who live in cities. He has produced a climate that many view is a direct predicate for the acts of violence and harassment weve seen like the 22 dead in el paso as just one of many examples. He is also, and this is important, crucially followed through on policy. He tried and ultimately succeeded in instituting the travel ban on people from predominantly muslim countries. He separated 2,000 children from their parents at the border. And after a judge told him not to, he separated 900 more. He has kept people, including children in cages for weeks with no shower, no toothbrush. At least 24 immigrants have died in i. C. E. Custody during trumps administration. And this number doesnt include five children who died in the custody of other federal agencies. Now who are two new cruelties. Yesterday i. C. E. Agents raided seven work sites in mississippi, arresting 680 people they say are undocumented immigrants. The raid conducted just days after a gunman targeted hispanic shoppers in an El Paso Walmart is the largest raid in any single state in american history. And those 680 arrests left hundreds of terrified American Children alone to wonder if they would ever see their parents again. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration deported a detroit resident to iraq, even though he had never been there before. Jimmy al daoud came to the u. S. When he was 6 months old legally. He was american in every conceivable way. He is a man who is a member of a persecuted Christian Group in the middle east. I. C. E. Said he had at least 20 convictions but friends say he also suffered from schizophrenia and other Mental Health issues. I was sleeping on the street, taking diabetic shots, throwing up, trying to get something to eat. I was kicked in the back several days to get off the guys property. I was sleeping on the ground. I begged him. I said i dont understand the language, you know. Now that man that you just saw is dead because apparently he was unable to get insulin in baghdad to treat his diabetes. So my question is this. How do any of those things help the people trump said he would help . Who is made better by it . Those kids trying for their parents in mississippi, the traumatized children, theyre american citizens. The president is hurting those americans. A dead man on the streets of baghdad who is lonely and scared and sick. Whose life did that make better in america . Whose job did that bring back . Whose income rose because of that . Who no longer has to deal with the ravages of opioid addiction in their family because that man is dead on the streets of baghdad . Because those kids are wailing because they dont know if theyll ever see their parents again . The answer is no one. And thats the fundamental con at the heart of donald trump. He says im going to hurt these people and hurt you. He can deliver on the first part but he has done just about nothing on the ekd. There are hundreds of people at a closed mine in wyoming sitting around with no paycheck. Were in the second week of the miners in Harlan County not legaling the trains through because theyre owed back pay they say. And the people in morristown, ohio who trump told not to sell their homes had their factory shut down. And farmers are struggling with unplanted fields having to make out on trumps welfare handouts. The Economic Growth trump is so happy to out the has disproportionately happened in the same areas it was already happening before, in large metropolitan areas among people who had already participated from the boom and has helped those who are already reaping the benefits. In fact, there is one group of people trump did say he would go after where he has broken that promise, and that is the titans of Corporate America and the globalist elites because the banks are running wild and Corporate America got a trillion dollar tax cut. For the owners, well apparently get, this the people who own the chicken plants in mississippi who it raided who employed all the unauthorized immigrants, they were not arrested. I. C. E. Wont comment. How could they be arrested . Donald trump has been doing the same thing at his own businesses for years, exploiting immigrant labor. In fact, the 680 people detained in mississippi was the largest such raid since 389 people arrested in 2008. And the own thief plant was subsequently convicted of moneylaundering. But President Trump commuted his sentence in 2017. Thats the deal. You in lordstown, youre not going to get to keep your job, but instead youre going get real acts of savage cruelty against some struggling families in mississippi while trump stuffs fat cats full of cash and parties with them in the hamptons. Meanwhile, the great hollowing out of the industrial core and Rural America and the declining life expectancies for the First Time Since world war ii, the 70,000 people were losing every year to opioids, all that will go on. Buzz trump and his party and his donors could not care less about that. Look over here at the people hurting. Thats all youre going to get. Joining me now cory booker of new jersey. He is a 2020 president ial candidate. He called out trump yesterday for n a speak for quote, weaponizing. Why did you feel the need to give that speech in what did you want to do with a that speech . First of all, this is a little off script. What you were saying was one of the best expositions against this president. He is hurting the people he promised to help. It was brill beyond and im grateful for you laying it so plain. And my speech yesterday at emanuel ame was a really important location to talk about what were seeing in america right now is the fact that since 9 11, the majority of our terrorist attacks have been right wing extremist groups. The majority of them have been white supremacist groups, and this violent White Supremacy has been a part of our culture to the tune of killing thousands and thousands of people, beating folks, burning buildings, burning churches. This is a long history. In fact, emanuel ame generations ago was burnt to the ground. And when blacks were forbidden to gather and congregate. I wanted to talk directly to confront the disneyland history that we often tell. Yeah. Where we actually diminish the greatness of this country when we dont speak to what we had to overcome to get to where we are. And right now we need that spirit more than ever to combat the ills of violence and White Supremacy. You know, people, there has been this sort of strange to me a little bitumin any news cycle about is the president a racist or a white supremacist. Im not sure where you come down on that. Youre shaking your head. Why are you shaking your head . Well, i said in my speech yesterday, this impotent simplicity of asking who is racist or who is white supremacist, it is distracting from what the deep question is which is does racism and White Supremacy exist . And if it does exist, then the question, the most important question is are you doing something about it or are you not . Because king said so eloquently that what we have to repent for in this day and age is not just the vitriolic words and violent actions of the bad people, but the appalling silence and inaction of the good people. If racism exists in our society, its not enough to say im not a racist. You must be antiracist. Youve got to get off the sidelines. Because if there is injustice in this country, its a threat to all of us. And you must be an activist against it. Thats a much more constructive question. If this is an ill that exists in our society, as an act of patriotism, what are you doing actively to deal with this crisis. This the moral urgency here seems very clear, and its been channeled by you and others i think in the face of what we see in the last week. Im going to ask a political question that i dont want to seem glibly amoral. But because you are running for president , i think its an important one. Do you worry that these sorts of questions about the sort of existential nature of america as a multiracial democracy and who is american, that the debate on those fundamentally end up playing on trumps terms or putting the emphasis where he wants to put them and not on, say, the coal miners out of a job in harlan, kentucky, et cetera. Look, i am getting tired of political positioning and analysis because i think it distracts from what americans are upset about, that there is no larger sense of moral urgency. Lets worry less as a party about the politics and Start Talking to the people, talking to the hurt, addressing the challenges that we have. Trump is brilliant at trying to distract us to make it all about him, what he said, what he is doing. Yeah, thats important. But lets not let us distract from i think the urgencies of coal miners, of people out in farm country, of people in inner cities who are just looking for leaders that will speak with plain moral clarity about the challenges and the issues that are going on, the larger systemic problems. Its why i criticize folks all the time to making this all about donald trump. And i know the number one polling issue in our party is who can beat donald trump. And im like, god, cant we have bigger aspirations than that . Beating donald trump should be the floor, but its not the ceiling. It should be gets us out of the valley but it doesnt get us to the mountaintop which is dealing with these trends, as you and i have talked about before, that have now been going on for a generation that we have to address with more of a sense of urgency, moral clarity and the kind of leaders that can inspire us to come together across the lines that often divide us to create real american change. And youll find that we have a lot more when it comes to that. We have a lot for that we agree upon than we disagree on. Do you think that there are sort of two schools of thought on the country. There is one that its deeply structurally polarized, and you have to sort of understand that and see that in a cleareyed sense. And weve seen that in the last midterms where dems picked up 40 seats in the house and they lost a bunch of senate seats in conservative states. And there are others who see that structural polarization as essentially a little bit of misleading. It sounds like youre in the second camp. I definitely am in the second camp. You know, and you and i both know, if you talk through that political lens, republican, do you support obamacare . Heck no. Well, do you support making sure people have insurance even if they have a preexisting condition . Yeah, well i support that. Do you support people staying on your Health Insurance until theyre 20. When you breck it down, they support all the constituent parts. Thats because we see a Republican Party that is trying to hold on to power by doing everything from Voter Suppression to trying to tell these tired tropes to scare people away from whats in their best interest. The best leaders ive seen through our history are those that are able to cut through that sort of spark a larger moral imagination amongst people that are outside of these lines. Thats why i keep telling people that we as democrats shouldnt be just simply saying, okay, the end we want to is beat republicans. No. I think the bigger end we should talk to is about uniting americans and the larger urgencies of justice in our country. I think that kind of leader, that can inspire that or those kind of leaders, because this is not a oneperson game, those kinds of leaders are going to help us get back on track and deal with these issues. All right. Senator cory booker, thank you so much for making time tonight. Thank you very much. Joining mow now is an immigration attorney, and he is a family friend of jimmy al daoud, the lifelong american who was deported to iraq. First i want to express my condolences for the familys loss. Thank you. How did this happen . Well, as you stated earlier, jimmy came into the United States at the age of 6 months old. He was born in greece to iraqi refugee parents. They fled religious and ethnic persecution in iraq and found their way to greece. They were christians . They were christians, correct. And members of the caldean ethnic minority group. They found their way to greece. Thats where jimmy was born. About six months after his birth, they came to the United States. The only thing that separates jimmy from me as a citizen who was born in the United States and you is about six months of his life. Just to be clear, he came legally. The parents came as legal refugees, correct . Thats correct. They were granted refugee status, and they arrived here in that manner. I. C. E. Says, look, hes got all these convictions. He did 17 months i think at some point for breaking and entering, that he has a long rap sheet. And so sorry, too bad, you broke the law. If you look at jimmys convictions and his criminal history, theyre all related to his Mental Health issues. Jimmy has been a bipolar schizophrenic, paranoid schizophrenic. He suffered from severe depression and severe anxiety. And these problems have plagued him and troubled him for his entire life. They are the root cause for every single one of his criminal convictions. If you look at some of the convictions. One was Home Invasion for breaking into a neighbors garage and stealing his tools. An assault conviction was related to an incident with his father when jimmy was having a manic episode. This goes deeper than that. Its not only a failing of the immigration system and cruelty shown by i. C. E. , but its also a failure for this country how we deal with people that have Mental Health issues. So jimmys case is really unique and its really sad in the sense that this man is now gone in a cruel and unusual fashion. Am i correct . The christian sect, version of catholicism, caldean group of believers, christian believers from iraq, that there was an actual i. C. E. Raid of that subcommunity in detroit in 2017 that picked jimmy up the first time . Thats correct. There are 1400 iraqi nationals around the country with final orders of removal. And in june of 2017, i. C. E. Raided and did a mass raid and focused specifically on the caldean community in destroyed under the pretext that they would be able to deport these individuals to iraq. Iraq had not been accepting deportations from the United States for decades, since prior to the first gulf war in 1990. This was done without warning, and it was done as a it was part of a negotiation that the Administration Made with the Iraqi Government to take them off of the travel ban list. And so you could also say that jimmys death is a result of a side effect of the travel ban. They put them on the travel ban, the first iteration. And a negotiation with Iraqi Government says well take you off the travel ban that flows from the president wanting to ban all billion muslims if you start accepting deportations. And then they go round up a bunch of folks who are predominantly persecuted christian minority from iraq to send them back to iraq. That is absolutely correct. In 2016, our secretary of state john kerry declared what happened to the christians in iraq at the hands of isis was a gen genocide. So our government for the past two years has spent millions of dollars trying to deport people to a country where their fellow caldeans had just been victims of genocide. The christian population in that country is almost zero at this point. The last estimate is that it was under 200,000, and thats from a high of 1. 5 million before the u. S. Invasion in 2003. At this point, the estimates are under 200,000. And i would guess its probably even lower than that. Jimmy is is in a unique situation in that he was never even born in iraq. He had never stepped foot in the country. He had no knowledge of arabic. He spoke english and a little bit of aramaic, which is the caldean language. He had no way to communicate with anyone in that country, and that is, again, another factor that led to his death. Again, im just so sorry what happened to jimmy. Deepest condolences to his family. Thank you. And thank you for telling his story. Thank you, chris. Next, the man who insists that the scourge of White Supremacy in america is a hoax Just Announced a longstanding vacation.

Ahhh. Sure, why not . Howd he get out . a camera might figure it out. That was easy glad i could help. At xfinity, were here to make life simple. Easy. Awesome. So come ask, shop, discover at your xfinity store today. People in el paso who were gunned down by a suspect who allegedly warned of a hispanic invasion, trump tv host Tucker Carlson stared at the camera and declared that White Supremacy is not a real problem in america. In fact, he called it a hoax. In the wake of those comments, there are calls to boycott carlsons advertisers. The fire tuckercarlson began trending on twitter, not for the first time incidentally. At the end of last nights show, carlson announced he was going on vacation. A spokesperson insisted the vacation had been planned before the uproar over his comments. Last march, Laura Ingraham announced a vacation after coming under fire for mocking parkland survivor. Sean hannity went on vacation after advertisers fled over his promotion of that supported the death of seth rich. Jesse watters took time off after a lewd comment about ivanka trump. And bill oh really took what he insisted was a preplanned vacation after revelations he settled multiple sexual allegations and he never returned. Carlson is the most adept and sophisticated communicator on trump tv when it comes to pushing ideas that have been embraced by white supremacists. But the tone is set from the top. Rupert murdoch and his lachland murdoch. After roger ailes was forced out amid Sexual Harassment scandals, the murdochs eventually installed one of ailes alco lots, suzanne scott. In charge of enforcing mini skirt dress code. Scott had been running the channel since 2018 and overseeing the type of programming that Tucker Carlson now wants to pretend does not exist. Joining me now msnbc political analyst jason johnson, politics editor at the root. Its interesting to me how much this has popped. Yeah. Because its not this is in line with the way that they talk over there. But there is something about this moment particularly in the wake of what weve seen that has seemed to really sort of grab peoples attention. So its not new. And thats why we can see through it, right . First off, this is like whenever any celebrity entertainer on tour is i need to spend time with my family. Exhaustion. Thats why i have to stop the tour. We know this is because of the pushback. Were at a moment now where the country is actually in pain. It isnt trying to listen to the ridiculous both siderism disingenuous excuses that Tucker Carlson has put forward. But the larger issue is this. This isnt new. He has been playing a forever 21 klansman. This isnt a new thing. What fox is realizing from a business perspective is oh, wait, this doesnt sell the way it used to. Bow ties and earnest frowns dont sell the way they used to. He is in a necktie. Feel free to correct. Look, there is advertising pressure. Right. But it is interesting to me, when you look at the board put the board up, the Fox Corporation board. Rupert murdoch, paul ryan is on there. Its interesting to me paul ryan is up there. Paul ryan last seen handringing in tim albertas book he was so troubled by trumps moral failings. He sits on a board that is promoting that white people are undergoing replacement and latinos and immigrants are invaing the United States. Paul ryan is the quintessential example of what is going to be the new thing is gosh, i just want the tax cuts, not the racism. Right . And thats essentially what paul ryan. You have a lot of people who may personally and in a personal way, their own sense of moral decency, i dont like these blatantly racist things, but all the other policies are fine. And again, that will work. As a matter of fact, that may work in a month. But right now, when the country is in our face, faced with these words lead to consequences and death, everybody gets afraid. I think, right. When someone murder 22 people, they target hispanics and they say theyre doing it because they think there is an invasion. Right. It has a kind of clarifying effect. I should say oliver darcy called the board for comment. Total silence. Roland hernandez abruptly hung up on me when i phoned him and asked about tuckers comment. How many times do you justify this . Here is the thing. We already know, okay, many of these shooters have quoted donald trump. Cesar sayoc has donald trump all over his car. How are we going to hold these people accountable . I see Tucker Carlson as a guy who has repeatedly failed in television. Who has been basically given media welfare, a prime time spot and he is still being promoted not because he is good at his job, but because he promotes a certain kind of bigotry that other people cant say as eloquently. What do we do with that as a society . Do we constantly call him out for it or pretend he is actually just an entertainer . He is talented at serving it up. He is. There are people who are better at it. To be perfectly honest is that really what you want . Thats like asking trump to get off the golf course. But i think the issue, if youre constantly being busted for not being age to say the quiet part loud thats the thing. To me, this is very similar to donald trump. Right. Donald trump comes down the escalator and he says mexicos sending rapists, and everyone is whoa, dude. First of all, its not true but thats a really racist thing to say. Remember all the sponsorships got canceled. People reacted. But then it was oh, wow, there is just enough people that like this that he is going to keep going. Thats basically the same issue with trump tv. Right. And heres the thing. From a financial standpoint, fine. There are still people who want to watch that kind of nonsense. For the rest of news the media system, for everybody everybody else who is talking about it we have to now frame this is as this is someone who basically supports terrorism. This is someone who is disingenuous. If youre talking about this White Nationalist rhetoric, you cant support White Nationalist rhetoric without supporting terrorism. I think he should be framed in that way. I dont know if thats true. I dont know if i agree with that, i really dont. I think supporting terrorism is distinct from sort of supporting the predicate for what has happened, right . There are people who can be have violent ideologies who dont support violence, or maybe thats not possible. You cant support White Nationalists without supporting terrorism because you cant support White Nationalism without state sponsored or individual violence. You cant. It requires moving people from a country they have always been at. Thats terrorism. Jason johnson, thanks for being with us. Ahead, another trump fan tries the trump made me do it defense. Can sustained messaging turn someone towards violence . Ill talk to someone who says that happened to him, right after this. Everyone uses their phone differently and in different places.

A lawyer from montana man accused of attacking a child who didnt remove his hat during the National Anthem says the man thought he was acting in line with the president s wishes. 39yearold Kurt Brockway was arrested this weekend after he allegedly grabbed a 13yearold boy by the throat at a rodeo and slammed the child to the ground, fracturing the boys skull. The boy then had to be airlifted to a hospital in spokane, washington. And he did this, apparently, because the boy wouldnt remove his hat during the National Anthem. Brockways defense attorney told the local newspaper that brockway has a traumatic head injury but added that trumps rhetoric also played a role. Quote, his commander in chief is telling people fa that if they kneel that. Should be fired. Or if they burn the flag, they should be punished. He certainly didnt understand it was a crime. This is the seekd time in a month someone accused of violence that the president s words helped move them to violence that was the bomber cesar sayoc. In the leadup to the elections, President Trump warned his supporters that they were in danger from democrats and at times condoned violence against his critics and quote unquote enemies. Before sayoc, there were the three men who plotted to blow up a kansas apartment complex, home to refugees. In a manifesto railed about immigration and what they describe is a sellout of the country. Here with me now to talk about how lone wolf individuals can be radicalized by sustained propaganda is someone who knows quite a bit about the topic. Moon beam sheik is a former extremist and took a uturn, worked under cover of the royal canned mounted police to fight terrorism. He wrote a book about his experience, undercover jihadi. I guess i want to start with stating an obvious fact and get a response to it. These are Defense Attorneys who are attempting to sell a story that is exculpatory to their clients about their clients alleged acts of violence, alleged in the case of the individual who choke slammed a 13yearold and convicted in the case of cesar sayoc. Should we take them seriously . Well, ive been on the receiving end of crossexamine by defense lawyers. I dont really take their arguments seriously. What, though, do you think is the connection, if any between a kind of atmosphere and propaganda and the way that an individual can become motived to violence . Yeah, i mean, there are always a number of factors involved, right . Its very rarely its just one factor. Ive made comments about the interplay between ideology and grievances. The way the quote goes is ideology without grievances doesnt resonate. And grievances without ideology are not acted upon. Now you throw into the mix lets say a charismatic preacher, a radical preacher speaking to individuals who are coming out of an environment where theyre feeling frustrated, they feel that their way of life is under attack, their religion might be under attack, their country is under attack. This is what motives people. As soon as you convince them that they face an existential threat from a perceived enemy, that is what moves people from talk to action. Do you view how do you view, having had the experience you had, sort of falling under the sway of this and being immersed in it, how do you view the rhetoric of, say, the president and the various propaganda arms that echo his message . Well, you know, if you look at the propaganda thats being promoted by various spokespersons, whether officially on the far right or understood cover far right, various media personalities and others i think you were talking about Tucker Carlson earlier. Its the downplaying of it that makes it easier for people that are already on the fringe, who are already on edge, who have, you know, difficulties managing the changes that are happening in the world, its very easy for these people to plug into these kinds of this kind of rhetoric and think you know what . Its up to me to act, because nobody else is doing it. And this is something thats common with jihadists and far right. This belief that i am that authentic pure vanguard that is going to do what nobody else is going to do. It seems to me that in the cases of the most extreme rhetoric on the far right, where there are some real echoes of parallels of say isis in places like the 8chan message board, that sort of explicit call to act is also important, right . More than just the kind of rhetoric demonizing the other and this is a threat to your way of life. But active encouragement, active and direct encouragement about acting in some violent way. Yeah, i mean very recently fourstar marine general, general john allen, who was running the war against isis made a comment how similar the two groups actually are. The dehumanization, the whole notion that access to weapons, dehumanizing rhetoric in particular. So when you say explicit calls to actions, sure, a lot of these platforms, whether isis or 8chan, not only do they have these explicit calls, its the subtle calls. Its the dog whistles, right. Where you dont have to say you dont have to say go out and attack these people using these weapons. Youve already created the conditions for that person to go out and do it themselves. And then celebrate it online in these platforms, which is exactly a mirror image of what isis does, and with what far right people do on 8chan. All right. Mubin shaikh, thank you so much for sharing time with me. Thank you. Coming up, a hamptons fundraiser for the president elicits a National Movement of boycotts.

The iowa state fair kicks off today, an annual tradition dating back to 1854 that attracts more than a Million People from all over the world. The fair is known for a lot of things like agricultural contests. Theyve already crowned this years prize winning big boar. His name is captain. He weighs in at 1,254 pounds. He is not feral. And according to his caretaker, he likes to have a shot of captain morgan in the evenings to mellow out. The state fair foods an enormous draw, especially things on a stick. More than 70 this year, including bacon wrapped deep fried italian sausage, deep fried twinkies and a salad . But the butter cow fits the building for the future theme and a collection of sesame street character friends. The iowa state fair is also a Major Political location. Candidates have been stumping at the event for decades, some with better events than others. The iowa state fairs political winners and losers is thing 2 in 60 seconds. The iowa state fair is a crucial stop for candidates. Its been described as sort of stations of the cross. They give a soapbox speech, eat some of the fried foods, interact with the regular folks, maybe get on a ride or two. And there are rules. Most importantly, whatever you do, for the love of god, do not get photographed eating a corn dog. Some navigate it better than others. Mitt romney ate porkchops, infamously dropping one on the ground. And delivering this memorable line on the soapbox. Corporations are people, my friends. Everything corporations ultimately goes to people. [ laughter ] Fred Thompson showed up in dress loafers and got around by chauffeured golf cart which didnt go around so well. Obama warmed hearts with an adorable bumper car ride with his daughter sasha. Just last year john delaney proved he was brave enough to get on the giant slide, although im not sure how much he enjoyed it. This year more than 20 candidates are scheduled to make an appearance and deliver a speech. Heres hoping they learned from others mistakes, but im not holding my breath. We choose unity over division. We choose signs over fiction. We choose truth over facts.

It appears to be the result of a case that billionaire developer, the guy who owns related along with the Miami Dolphins will host a fundraiser for donald trump tomorrow in the hamptons. The president himself is scheduled to appear and where tickets run as high as 250,000. Also scheduled to make an appearance at one of two backtoback hampton fundraisers this weekend, commerce secretary wilbur ross, treasury secretary steve mnuchin, Senior Adviser jared kushner, Rhonda Mcdaniels and senator lindsey graham. People got wind that he was hosting this fundraiser, when you talk about hispanic invasion, the administration continues to put brown people in cages at the border, and as they watched the president s supporters chant send her back to u. S. Congresswoman born in somalia, people were not so happy with the owner of their local gym was supporting these things. Ross has since tried to deflect some of the criticism. In a statement see head i have known donald trump for 40 years. And while we agree on some issues, we strongly disagree on others. Have i been and will continue to be an outspoken champion of racial equality. Who knows. Maybe ross does have an interest in racial equality. You cant get your tax cuts and deregulation and all the other benefits that benefit a billionaire like ross and not be tainted by the White Nationalism. You cant have it both ways. Well talk about the devils bargain after this. Termites. Were on the move. Hey rick, all good . Oh yeah, were good. Were good. Terminix. Defenders of home. Billionaire developer steven ross is not the only rich donor backing Donald Trumps election. The Washington Post points out the Trump VictoryFundraising Committee has raised more than 67 million so far for the president s reelection in the rnc. Among the biggest donors so far the chairman and his wife, texas Oil ExecutiveJeffrey Hildebrand and diane hendricks. Im joined by the host of vices latinex, and josh marshal, and emily nastal. I thought the steven ross statement was so such a perfect microcosm of the whole way the Republican Coalition in the era of trump stays to together. Exactly. I want my tax cuts and thats all i want and i dont care about the rest. Trump is a bigoted demagogue and we all kind of know that. These people should be ashamed of supporting him. Like at this point you should be only able to contribute to the Trump Campaign with bit coin, right . But equinox man is out there holding an Eyes Wide Shut Party and hes surprised people are getting up in his grill. We understand, we know theres no constitutional way to put pressure on these peoples exercise of their money as speech. But theres darn sure social pressure that we have barely tried and its time for us to start trying at least. I think the Civil Society part of it is fascinating. Exactly. And im not surprised at all with his response. I think finally its crystallizing in everyones minds we all have, every single one of us has a responsibility to do something. You can be someone who goes to soul cycle and an activist, but activism can look many different ways. This is part of that. I just want to make the conservative argument about all of this, right, is that youre sliding this dystopian like slippery slope where like its not just about trump but conservatives and like everyone is going to use every consumer decision. Cities have passed these laws, right, in the case of chickfila because of the founders belief or opposition to gay marriage that like youre going to end up in a position where everything gets politicized. I think the thing is we know the rule we operate under now that Campaign Contributions are speech. Speech is public. What you see not so much this particular controversy but theres big move on the right Campaign Contributions should be controversial. Theres already a huge amount of dark money even official money could be and what you see is a growing desire that money should have rights to enter into politics as speech and also have confidentiality. They want consequentless speech and that is what we cannot continue to let them have. When youre talking about the slippery slope, the way you avoid the slippery slope is dont support people who cage children. Dont support people who are racist bigots. What were asking for is not actually all that much. So i dont really worry about the slippery slope because i feel like if we have collective action, collective social pressure on our friends and families and uncles and whatever to stop supporting this ridiculousness, that we will actually get somewhere. Theres also the other worry, right, you talked about wanting to make the donors anonymous. It was very interesting. When congressman joaquin castro, he tweeted out some donors, maxed out donors of donald trump were in san antonio, part of his district. And people flew off the handle he was essentially engendering the threats towards him, painting a target on his back. What do you think of that . It is Public Information just to be clear. What is wrong with exposing the truth and people fueling his agenda . Right, so my question is to the donors. What are you so ashamed of . Why can you not be okay with associating yourself with a white supremacist . I had a moment there partly because were just up against two mass shootings, theres part of me like i do worry about Political Violence in america and i would i would have said im not sure thats the greatest idea but i dont see its a big problem. And the bigger thing is in that case relatively small donors not this guy whos probably bundling millions of dollars or Something Like that, but you do not have to give to political campaigns. It is speech. And the reality is, look, we live in a polarized time. We live in a time where a lot of, you know, bad things are going on. So i think we all have to be collectively cautious about kind of focusing in on one person and what some crazy person might do. But the reality is i havent seen any case of anybody who was targeted in anyway because they gave money. Maybe someone tweeted at them i dont think theres really, you know, the kind of people that maxed out only takes depending on if its a couple or individual, a few thousand dollars. No one really cares. Nobody is going to be thinking about them a week from now. People of color are already targets under this administration. I have no problem on shining the light back on the donors who fund this kind of racialized hate. I mean i go further, i want pitchforks and torches outside this mans house in the hamptons. Ive been to the hamptons, its very nice. Theres no reason it has to be. Theres no reason he should be able to have a nice little party. Theres no reason why people shouldnt be able to be outside of his house and making their voices peacefully understood that they do not totally. There have been peaceful protests outside Mitch Mcconnells house and i imagine there will be peaceful protests outside this which is again its all speech. Peaceful protests, the right to assembly under the first amelt, that is the way that because your point here is how does Civil Society deal with what were seeing . How does Civil Society deal with the most powerful person in the world . By invading the Congress People and saying its an invasion the peaceful means by which Civil Society responds is through more speech and more protected activity and pressure. And theres a difference between some pretty welloff person in san antonio who maybe donates 5,000 to someone like this, who im sure inaggregate is probably getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. That is giving mim power way beyond anything we have. And his argument is i supported hillary but it was just for the cars and autobahn. You cant pick and choose like that. Its also someone whose brands are located in the kinds of places like multiracial, multicultural urbanized environments that the president has made a target out of. He said all of those places are terrible. And to me the moral of it is it makes us all rethink at whose expense are we enjoying all these things . Im no longer going to soul cycle. Ive enjoyed it, and today i have there you go, minus one for soul cycle. My chip against chickfila is more perm to me. Thanks for joining us.
