And intel this is President Trumps first time waking up in trump tower since taking office. And it wasnt exactly a warm women come. The latest gallup poll finds the president with his worst Approval Rating yet at 34 . The president as we mentioned is up and tweeting. What is he saying . He sure is. And these tweets may be giving some of his critics even more fodder. The president himself this morning is retweetingltright l. I think if they fire at the United States, it could escalate into war very quickly, yes. That is called war if they shoot at us. If they do that, then its game on. Kim jongun now says he will wait and watch before deciding to launch. They are discounting those reports that kim jongun has blinked if you will. A smiling kim saying he will make a decision about his threat to guam if the yankees persist. We wont know whether its a dummy missile or armed missile until it hits and we wont know exactly where its targeted, the waters off of guam or hitting guam itself. We would have only a matter of minutes to make a judgment call. All right. Well, already this morning President Trump went off the rails on twitter a fallout continues over his response to saturday respond to the deadly violence in charlottesville. No sign of his agenda. All hes talking about is unrelated hears. This is trump tower. Hallie is on her way there. Hundreds lined the streets yesterday, the president visited for the First Time Since his inauguration. No trump, no kkk no fascist usa. Protests didnt let up despite trump giving a second statement on what happened in charlottesville and explicitly condemning White Supremacists and other hate groups who incite violence. Maybe one of the reasons is because just hours after that scripted announcement, trump himself, and he controls his twitter account, not his speechwriters, retweeted and altright activist who is demanding to know why there was no media outrage over a rash of shootings in chicago over the weekend. This activist who the president retweeted is known for pushing fake conspiracy theories, including one claiming that Top Democrats were involved in a childs sex trafficking ring in a d. C. Pizza shop. And i want to remind you, i want to define what the altright is again. It aint no radio station. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the altright is a group of rad cic which extremist conservatives and their ideology is based on White Supremacists. They are racist, antisemitic and and it i immigrant. This recruit young white he had indicated individuals, the altright became mainstream during the 2016 election in large part because steve ban no put them there. And today he retweeted a story claiming that trump was considering pardoning former arizona sheriff joe arrepaio wh was recently convicted. In response to that, a twitter using wrote hes not a hes a fascist, so not unusual. Which one might think is a criticism of donald trump. But then he retweeted that. That was deleted moments later. And finally, this. President trump, the president of the United States, retweeting this image of a trump train splashing into a human, its a cartoon, when you smabut smashi person with a cnn low go coveri its face. That post was also deleted. And dont forget this comes just three days after an innocent woman was killed from being hit by a car mowed down by a white supremacist at that rally in charlottesville, virginia. The white house has so far not explained the trump train tweet on record, but one white house official requesting anonymity offered this, quote, it was inadvertently posted and as soon as it was noticed it was immediately deleted. I want to point this out to the white house, given all that is going on, given that there were nazis rioting in the streets he overs weekend, the tensions around the world in terms of twitterer and retweeting, youre the white house. Tighten up your game. A lot of people are saying the white house wont be able to tighten up its game. Donald trump is also under pressure by large american businesses over his response to the violence in charlottesville. Yesterday three top ceos announced they were stepping down from the Manufacturing Council. Kenneth frazier came first of merck. Kevin blank under armour announced that he is pulling out. And intel also pulled out from the manufacturing down silg. The council. There are almost 30 organizations on that council. Intel,e intel, under armour and merck is gone. So those three have resigned. They are frustrated that donald trump has not been able to move on with his agenda as stephanie said. Im not able to move and you might also point out head of the Manufacturing Union said these councils are not actually doing anything. So the argument that we hear over and over from the jamie dimons and jeff immelts, i want a seat at the table, a table doing what . Thats right. And thats what a lot of these ceos are frustrated by, that they are there, they sit around, they get into photoopes, but they are not getting anywhere. Jeff immelt did say that it is important to have a role when the administration is discussing manufacturing and other matters, but we discuss it a lot, we talk about what the various options can be. But these do tend to be photoopes f photoops for the president. And remember, its not easy for them to walk out. There is a lot at stake. And then there is this are there elements of White Supremacy within the white house right now . Is steve bannon a white supremacist . Again, i dont think hes a white supremacist, although ive never asked him. What i dont like though is the toleration of it. Its something that should be completely and totally intolerated. So for me i dont know why anybody is clapping to that. The mnuchiooch, Anthony Scari who lit position in flames in 11 days, he is the voice of reason on Stephen Colbert last night saying that steven bannon, one of the most senior people in the white house who stood alongside President Trump on that campaign tram and on the podium when he won tolerates White Supremacy. So to those who say that trumps messaging is tough, bum but im here for the agenda, we havent seen much of any agenda it 00s moving forward. Still havent seen tax reform. Still a piece of paper with no meat on the bones. So know that your legacy is tied to being inside of a white house where someone who at the we have least tolerates White Supremacy holds a lot of weight. Joining us now, author of the gatekeep gatekeepers, how the chiefs of staff define every presidency. And bill kristol from the weekly standard. Chris, there does seem to be information that john kelly is trying to get his hands around the steve bannon situation. There was an interview with hr mcmaster where he wouldnt even say that he could really work with steve bannon. So bannon is something. Were not quite sure what his role is and what power he has with the president , but this weekend has brought it into sharp bannon may well be the least of his problems. Two weeks ago, it was dysfunctional. And its one selfinflicted wound after another. The first statement on charlottesville was beyond the pale. Absolutely without precedent. The clooeanup statement was may a glimmer of hope that kelly was pushing back and trying to tell donald trump hard truths. But the truth is here that this is a white house that is broken, that hasnt been annuything rig. It desperately needs focus and discipline to get anything done. And the problem is that at the very top, you have a guy donald trump for whom focus and discipline are anathema. So almost mission impossible. Why are we believing this narrative that steve bannon is on an island and people in the white house say hes on his last leg. There . President trump himself manages his twitter account. He was the one at the podium on saturday who looked up from the script and said all sides when there werent. Trump should be the focus. The key he will be president for some period of time, maybe 3 1 2 years, maybe less depending on what Robert Mueller finds. Maybe more. Conceivably moore. I hope not. And if he will be president , he needs to be contained. Ive been struck by the analogy for the last day or two, we contained the soviet union. Where we wont change trump. People should stop hoping that he becomes who he is not. People like me were willing to give him something of a chance when he was elected. Maybe he would rise to the occasion at least somewhat. He really hasnt. So how do you contain trump . Congress has to step up, governors and mayors have to step up, civil society, the media, business has to step up. I think its important that he be what works . Isolation, pushing back, plea veptding him from gaining strength, containing him as the term suggests. And that is where i will defend john kelly and hr mcmaster for serving in this administration. I think that they are to make se fundamental policies dont cause war and dont isolate us and lead tooutcomes. In that respect, its a totally unlike any other white house weve ever seen. Chief of staff of the National Security adviser, their job is as much containing donald trump as it is helping donald trump. Its an interesting approach. Let me ask you this, chris. We have john kelly apparently having spoken to the president this weekend implied that if you dont come out and make another statement about charlottesville, you are imperilling your skinny agenda because republicans had turned against the president on this one or at least defined how they reacted to White Supremacy different than the president. Address then t and then the ceos. Donald trumps response to merck was to tweet now that ken frazier has resigned from the president S Manufacturing council, he will have more time to lower ripoff drug prices. So the first i think sting wnst oig t troll the ceo about that. This is kellys fundamental problem. He has to deal with donald trump. He said i will just manage the staff, not the president. Well, he doesnt have a choice. Leon panetta and james baker would be the first to tell him that you have to be the guy who walks into the office, closes the door and tells donald trump what he does not want to hear. One thing trump has not learned lets assume for the moment that hes learned the first lesson which is that you have to empower a white house chief of staff to execute youred a skren today. T agenda. The second lesson is that goofrning is nothing like campaigning. Reagans final chief of staff will tell you that campaigning, you try to annihilate your opponent. When youre governing, you have to make love to your opponent. You have to form coalitions. And trump has no idea of how to govern. I think that is true, but i think that would be they need to limit the damage that donald trump does. All the animalogies are interesting. Ive discussed this with leon panetta. But i dont think it will be like that and not much point hoping. Should he continue the service that you say hr mcmaster and john kelly are involved in because it prevents worse things from happening . I think for thnow. I think there will be a point where they will feel they cannot serve in good conscious and it will be a tough call. We dont know what they might be achieving. So i give them the benefit of the doubt because i have high regard for them. The last general who served as white house chief of staff did perform a service during the final days by keeping the Nuclear Codes away from Richard Nixon who was drinking heavily and talking to the oil portraits. He and secretary of defense schlesinger decided that they needed to be notified if anything went on between nixon. All right. Interesting points. Thank you very much for doing it with us. Extraordinary. Next, protesters this durham, North Carolina topple a confederate statue, but hundreds of other monuments are Still Standing around the country. Symbols of racism and treason. Well speak with the mayor of lexington, kentucky who is planning to remove two confederate statues in his town. And late night shows took a break to address the violence in charlottesville. Here is jimmy fallon with an emotional monologue last night. Even though the tonight show isnt a political show, its my responsibility to stand up against intolerance and extremism as a human being. What happened over the weekend in charlottesville, virginia was just disgusting. The fact that it took the president two days to come out and clearly denounce racists and White Supremacists is shameful. And i think he finally spoke out because people stood up and said something. We all need to stand against what is wrong, acknowledge that racism exists, and stand up for what is right and civil and kind. And to show the next generation that we havent forgotten how hard people have fought for human rights. We cannot do this. We cant go backward. We cant go backward.

Welcome back to velshi ruhle. You are looking at livismages from trump tower where protesters showed up yesterday. The president was there for the first 9 11 since his inauguration. After the attack in charlottesville, protesters are showing up not just in virginia, but in cities across the country. Why do you carry that flag . Because this is my hair dama heritage. My family fought to save their farm. They are protesting over 1,000 monuments that still stand on public property honoring leaders of the con ffederacycon. This is part of a larger push to take down those memorials. Yesterday it n. Durham, North Carolina protesters took things in to their own hands and toppled a confederate statue. People cheered, everyon began kicking the monument. And a Confederate Flag on the South Carolina headline mass headlines in 2015 when authorities learned that a convicted mass murderer dylann roof who shot and killed nine black Church Members in charleston was inspired by that very flag. You might be surprised to learn how many confederate symbols remain on public land. Last year in 2016, the Southern Poverty Law Center identified more than 1500. This map that you are looking at shows the majority of monuments located in the former confederate south. The center found 718 confederate monuments or statues, 109 Public Schools named after confederate generals robert e. Lee and 80 counties or cities also named after lee. And get this, ten of our u. S. Military bases are named after confederate leaders. Take a look at some of the memorials. This carving on a Stone Mountain shows robert e. Lee and his commanding officers. Work first began in 1915 and was completed in 1925. These four statues down in new orleans have since been removed. And in kentucky, lexington mayor is pushing to remove two very controversial statues from a former county courthouse. Mayor gray is here to talk about that now. And it certainly is a complicated one. Mayor, thank you for joining us. Give us your actireaction to charlottesville. Well, i have our city have been examining these two statues for some time now. Literally almost two years. Now, charlottesville actually in some sense accelerated our decision. I had already prepared to present to our council a resolution to remove these two stat statues. Why . Well, its really important to put this in context. These two statues today stand on ground that is really sacred. It was at one time a slave Auction Block called cheap side. One of the largest in the south. So these two monuments, two men who fought to preserve slavery are standing today on sacred ground where men, women and children once were sold into slavery. So it just wasnt right. Just not right. So mayor, what is the conversation like in lexington . Because obviously these conversations will be going on across the country. And they are on some level conversations that have been going on for 150 years. So how do you manage the conversations that you dont end up with Something Like that happened in charlottesville . Because there are strong views and people will protest. Youre right. And thats why for some time now weve been engaging in the conversation about these statues. We had a review board that examined it. And then weve had conversations continuing. There is never a perfect time to stand up for what is right, to stand up for american values. In my view, we stand up all the time. We either stand up and speak out, or we sit back, relax and we remain silent. That is not the time for dootod. Today is when we must stand up for american values, for liberty, justice and freedom. For nonviolence. Speak out against hatred. And these regrettably in some sense regrettably these statues have become symbols of that lost cause and symbols of racism and bigotry and discrimination. And thats why in my view they need to be moved. Then what is the argument to especially from the center of our town. So what is the argument to keep them there . Im assuming that there are people from your city who would say this isnt about racism, it is part of the citys history or heritage. What argument do they make . The argument that they make of course is that we would be erasing history, that we would be hiding history. The decision to relocate these monuments, nothing casual about it. But when you think about the argument that we learn from history, then you can actually ask, well, if the statues are Still Standing at cheap side at this slave Auction Block for more than 100 years, what have we learned from history . Have we really learned from history . Or should we relocate these out of such a prominent location where they are actually honored and glorified today. That is the decision that i made and that is the decision now im taking to our city council. That is really the heavy lifting. We have some Extraordinary People on our city council, they will be examining this. Will they be becopushback . Of course there will be. Kentucky was very divided in the civil war. Brother fought against brother. I have it in my even heritage. Three great uncles, one on the side of the june, one on the side of the confederacy. We went there and visited as children. So kentucky very divide even today. Good to talk to you. Well be watching closely how things develop in lexington. Thank you so much. This is an important fight to be had. Stand by, newly released photos show kim jongun reviewing military plans or at least posing that way to attack guam. This as defense secretary mattis warns if north korea fires a missile at the u. S. , it is game on. New details on what could be north korea eat next move. And more tweets from the president. He tweeted for every ceo that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, i have many to take their place. Grandstanders have not have gone on. Jobs a bit of an extra thing about jobs. And we are watching markets of course. We are he seeing tare seeing th unchanged on the day. But weve had quite an extraordinary ride. Jack knocked over a candlestick, onto the shag carpeting. And his pants ignited into flames, causing him to stop, drop and roll. Luckily jack recently had geico help him with renters insurance. Because all his belongings went up in flames. Jack got full replacement and now has new pants he ordered from banana republic. Visit geico. Com and see how affordable renters insurance can be. Welcome back. New coach. S develops out of north korea. Kim jongun is backing off his threat to fire missiles toward guam. After reviewing plans from his generals as shown in this posed photo, north koreas unpredictable leader now says he will made a decision about his threat, quote, if the yankees persist. He then repeated demands that the u. S. Cancel joint military exercises with south korea that are scheduled to begin next week. The threat issued last week was to fire four medium range Ballistic Missiles over japan toward guam about 2100 miles away with the missiles to land in the waters about 20 miles off guam and taking 14 minutes to arrive there from north korea. Defense secretary james mattis warns if north korea fires at guam, its the same as firing against the United States. I think if they fire at the United States, it could escalate into war very quickly, yes. Thats called war if they shoot at us. If they do that, then its game on. Secretary mattis added if they fire a missile, quote, well take it out. Joining us live is former Senior Adviser from the state department. Shes also served as special adviser to the u. S. Ambassador to south korea. She knows the area well. We have game on, locked and loaded, fire and fury. And then we have kim jongun blinking. Give us context. Is kim jongun blinking . Well, yes and no. Look, amidst all of the fiery rhetoric, ive always said that this was a war ever rhetoric, but not a war of afrks. And action. And in the end, kim jongun actually never threatened to fire missiles over guam. If you read it carefully, he threatened if the United States so a lot of the rhetoric was exactly that. In the end, what always has worked in the past is if the United States shows enough threat of force, north korea always backs down. So kim jongun is a bit of a rational player . Not only a bit. North korea is actually a rational player. Kim jongun is not crazy, hes not unpredictable. Hes very predictable and very rational. So is the United States government playing a smart hand here . Well, if you read secretary mattis and secretary tillersons joint oped, that states very clearly what the u. S. Policy is. President trump is out there with his rhetoric, that is his style, his personality. But the policy has remained very consistent. Strategic accountability. Id like to point out i read their oped, the president who loves taking to twitter, retweeting altright leaders, he did not retweet or show his vocal support of what they put. Which is important because in the last hour, secretary tillerson has said that, quote, we continue to be interested in finding a better wayor way to get to dialogue, but that is up to kim jongun. Is that an outcome that makes sense . Should we be looking for direct talks . The point is absolutely that the fault lies with kim jongun and north koreas behavior. Not just in the past week, not just in the past year. But for decades. Actually going back to the korean war. So in fact again i think if you look very carefully at what this administration is doing, it is a policy that makes sense, it is very calculated, it is strategic. And it is continuing to move along, but again, President Trump should have actually put kim jongun on notice and i think that is exactly why kim jongun backed down. But there is a rational Strategic Policy in place. All right. Great insights. Nice to see you. Former specializer to the u. S. Ambassador to south korea. Stick around, a new report says that the fbi and dhs warned President Trump about white extremists back in may. Has anything been done . Plus we want to show you the names and flags of hate groups so you know what to watch for in your communities and schools. Recognize them. They seem innocent. Theyre not. And right now President Trump just a few blocks away from us for three days in manhattan. Well cover that when we get back. Youre watching velshi and ruhle. Ans. Ans.

President trump is in new york this morning for three days of meetings. In a few hours he is set to sign an executive order on infrastructure. It will tackle environmental and permitting regulations. And three ceos are also protesting President Trump stepping down from hiS Manufacturing council over his handling of charlottesville. Ceos are merck, under armour and intel. And he said for everyone who drops out, ill have many to take their place. And a new report claims the fbi and department of Homeland Security warned President Trump about the danger of white supremacist groups months ago. Intel officials believe White Supremacy groups lets look through some of the flags people might see. These are some of the groups in a were spotted in charlottesville. Join or die is a good example. Unite the right rally. Eight different flags in here making up the drawing of the snake. Let me show you what some of the flags are. This is a kekistan flag, a fictional country. It mimics the german nazi war flag with a logo. And its a symbol of White Nationalism that is used in altright memes. We also have two other nazi fascist type flags. Van guard america is an yeeg al, the yeeg ooeg eagle. Take a look at this this, is the traditionalist worker party, a White Nationalist group in a advocates for racially pure nations. This is closely allied with neonazi organizations. And then there are the socalled neo Confederate Flags. This is the southern national. They combine the x with the confederate battle flag and magnolia flower in this case. Finally, we have the flag for the american guard which according to the Southern Poverty Law Center say they are dedicated to physically opposing leftist at rallies. So this is a flag for people who go to the rally. They say come and take it. So keep an eye out for those flags. This stuff important because this is not general heres what we think about the world, these are groups that espouse in many cases violence and certainly White Supremacy, antigay, anti. And that is the reason why we highlight it, not to draw more attention. Yeah, people say why do you put it on tv. Dont do a profile of richard spe spechbser. Spencer. But the reason we want it highlighted, many of these groups recruit white male young educated young men. And you have to know if somebody in your circle is looking at these things or talking about them. You need to know what they are. This isnt just about your personal identity. These are hate groups. Joining us now from tell a vee tel aviv, ceo of the antidefamation league. Give us an update here. For us, for so many of us who watch the images from the weekend, if you watch that vice piece last night, it was extraordinary, and understanding that membership to the kkk spiked last year. What is really out there . Thanks for the question. And im glad youre focusing on this issue. Our center has been tracking right wing extremists for decades. And you mentioned a number of them. Neonazis, the socalled altright, antigovernment groups, neo confederates. Lets be clear, they are all part of the same White Supremacist Movement that is opposed to american values. There is no patriotism in White Nationalism. And indeed weve been deeply concerned as you said, there has been a surge of white supremacist recruiting at College Campuses this past year. We recorded over 160 incidents in more than 30 states. There has been a surge of these groups on social media. Weve seen twitter and facebook flooded with the most grotesque kind of hate you can imagine. And of course weve seen these organizations flourish in the current preliminary environment. They feel that finally they have a seat at the table. So to stephanies point, they are actively recruiting. Its important to understand what this their success looks like should that people know what were up against here. What who are hes these rec . Extremism is a problem in any form. Islam extremists, but right wing extremists, they try exemploypl disaffected young people. That sounds like the same description we hear when we talk about isis recruiters. Or the germans with skin heads. Its very similar. Its no accident that the car ramming took place. This young man james fields who murdered the innocent heather heyer, they were using the same technique of car ramming that has terrorized tel aviv, france, germany. Its domestic terror. If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, guess what, its a duck. I know youre working behind the scenes with godaddy, with twitter, with facebook. What can actually be done . Because in terms of First Amendment free speech rights, its tricky. It certainly is tricky. But the freedom of expression isnt the freedom to incite violence. It isnt freedom to slander and terr terrorize. So we wont wait for the white house. State and local leaders have a role to play, nonprofits and business. You mentioned the ceos of under arrest murd armour and america stepped off the council. Businesses have a right not to patronize people or parties who push prejudice. Plain and simple. And consumers have a right and users of the services have a right to contact these companies and say we will not punish you for doing this, we will support you. Because when the website went off of godaddy and tried to move to google, google said no, youre not bringing your hate to us. A great point. The fringe does seem to be growing, but there are far more people of goodwill in this country who can vote with their wallets and their smartphones and support companies that stand up for our values, american values, pluralism, respect and equality for all. Jonathan, great discussion. Thank you for the work that you do. Ceo and National Director of the ant antidefamation league. And now the president of the alliance for manufacturing has tweeted im resigning because it is the right thing for me do. Alliance for American Manufacturing retweeted that. So this is important because the alliance for American Manufacturing represents a number of manufacturing companies. So its not just one of the 30 groups that were on that council, its a big one. And they are even saying that is an important seat at the table because they represent the manufacturing industry, the companies on that board. And even they are saying this is not good for us. And the president who in that last tweet was talking about the ceos and wrote jobs before you can have a job, before you can thrive in society, you need to be respected, you need to treat others with respect. This is about civility and humanity. And you need both of those things before business. Great for us that hour after hour showing that they are doing the right thing. Doing the right thing is not antibusiness. Its pro smart business. And for those of you who are consumers, make sure sha you get hold of those companies, email them, call their consumer relations and tell them what you think about this. Next, shaming. One twitter handle is taking on hate. Well speak to the man behind the handle yes youre racist. Too many children in this neighborhood do not graduate from high school.

A twitter account is calling ow alleged racists. The handle is yesyoureracist. A posting from the feed is reportedly responsible for at least one controversial shaurtsville protester losing his job. Publicly calling someone racist is risky business. At least one image was misidentified. And the raleigh man behind the twitter account says hes receiving Death Threats. Here is nbcs jo ling kent. When the violence erupted, the smartphones came out. Photos and videos captured individual faces and the internet went to work. University of nevada reno student was caught on camera and the naming and shaming began. He says he received Death Threats and calls to be expelled. I understand the photo is very bad looking, but i dont believe you should threaten my family. To me, thats demon citrus. You can call my nazi, hate my ideology, but i wouldnt threaten anyone. Reporter under pressure, his university reacted saying we remain firm in our commitment in denouncing all forms of bigotry and racism. At top dog restaurant in berkeley, california, cole white, a cook, resigned after he was identified for protesting. His former employer posted this letter on the front door saying white no longer works at top dog. Actor Jennifer Lawrence taking a stand telling her 16yearold facebook followers these are the faces of hate. Look closely and post anyone you find. You cant hide with the internet, you pathetic cowards. There is always a risk that the wrong person could be identified. But people have to recognize that whatever theyre doing in public is now up for grabs. Reporter big business, challenged too. Social media called out website hosting Company Godaddy asking why it allowed neonazi group the daily stormer to use its services. Soon after, godaddy severed its ties, when the daily storm removed to google, it was kicked off within hours. Social media proving in todays digital age, there is nowhere to hide. Jo ling kent, nbc news, los angeles. Logan smith created the twitter account. He joins us now from raleigh, North Carolina. Good to see you, logan. Thank you for being with us. Thanks for having me. What is the reason behind starting this twitter account . What are you trying to accomplish . Well, i just think that, you know, these people who theyre not hiding behind their hoods anymore, theyre proud and theyre out. And if theyre really so proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with White Supremacists and neonazis, then i think that, you know, their communities need to know who these people are and what theyre trying to do to our nation. Yeah, i mean it is noteworthy, pete in that nazi image that image from the protest that we saw over the weekend, stunning with the torch, screaming and sent to our colleague, you may identify me as a nazi, but i wouldnt attack anyone. Well, that to me, sounds odd, but to how serious this is, putting these pictures out there, one person was misidentified. And youre making very serious accusations. You could get yourself in a lot of legal trouble. Well, the gentleman that youre referring to, a professor in arkansas, i do not have anything to do with his identity being put out there. Several people actually sent his photo to me, i looked at it, determined it was not him, and so intentionally did not, you know, out him, so to speak. But how do you manage that . Thats going to become an issue, right . That misidentification happens with the best of intentions. How do you manage not having people caught out as neonazis or fascists and things like that and going to work and having their colleagues or bosses ask about that. And certainly, thats why i took care to, you know, look at what these people are posting, other photos of them, the kind of content they have, in many cases these people were, you know, posting white supremacist propaganda on their profiles, so it wasnt hard to determine, you know, who these people were . Listen, crowd sourcing and trying to identify some of these attackers over the weekend is important business. And youve received as we reported threats over the last 24 hours. Can you speak to that . Thats right. You know, these White Supremacists, they have targeted me, they have targeted my family, my extended family even, and, you know, it is obviously no one wants to receive Death Threats. But intimidation tactics are how these people work. It is how they worked back since the days of the kkk burning crosses in peoples yards. And they depend on people staying silent and afraid. And thats how they win. Bigotry thrives on silence. It requires people to say nothing. And i refuse to let that happen. Talk to me about the picture, the user picture on twitter. What is it and why not use your face . Well, thats from an old mtv show called wonder shows, and which i thought was apt. But you dont so youre hoping that this tell me more about it, why choose that. Well, i havent, you know, made a, you know, secret of my identity. I did an interview with cnn the first day i started the twitter account back in 2012. But, you know, it is just the theme of the account. Okay. Logan, thanks very much for joining us. We appreciate hearing from you. Logan smith is the creator of the twitter accoun account yesyourearacist where theyre identifying people. It is an interesting struggle. It is an interesting struggle, important business, to those who participated in the rally over the weekend, who have been complaining for the last 24 hours that they dont deserve to have their names and faces out there, i say you got to be kidding me, youre part of this. But it is dangerous business. Right . People have families and extended families. And now that we live in this world of social media, i dont know, this is a very complicated issue. It is. Well continue to as we have been doing for last few days and we will continue doing, were going to be talking more about the hate groups out there, the things that are developing, the conversations about confederate statues, we didnt get a chance to mention, well talk to the mayor of lexington, is that there are seven confederate statues in the u. S. Congress right now, put there by the states, because the states are allowed to put two statues in per state. This conversation say big one. And, of course, the latest news in this last hour about the head of the American Association manufacturers. Logan said something that made me think about the head of the association, about those ceos. He said bigotry thrives on silence. So while we might not see a public backlash to these ceos, these companies who are standing down, interesting to see if it actually affects their bottom line in some way shape or form, bigotry thrives in silence. Got to think about that. Thanks for watching this hour of msnbc live. Im ali velshi. Im stephanie ruhle. Check us out on social media and connect with our show a at velshiruhle and now we hand over to Andrea Mitchell for Andrea Mitchell reports. Too little too late. Protests around trump tower over the president s belated and many say half hearted denunciation of the white supremacist march in charlottesville. Mr. President , can you explain why you did not condemn the hate groups by name over the weekend . They have been condemned. He did read a statement at the white house today that finally struck the right tone, but im sorry, pencils down on this subject was saturday evening. He only gets very partial credit. Ripple effects across the south. Statues honoring confederate icons fall and big business responds. Four members of the white house Manufacturing Council are bowing out, but the president only makes one of them the target of an instant tweet. I was a bit
