but let me tell you about something. i m against jews or anybody else who puts the interests of some other place over our own country. not opposed to all jews. something said, actually said in a senate debate stage in the year 2016. today s louisiana senate debate took place in an empty auditorium at a historically black college called dillard university in new orleans. students at dillard protested. there aren t arrests. some people were reportedly pepper sprayed by university police as they tried to protest outside the debate hall. but inside david duke assured us all he is not against all jews. happy 2016. that does it for us tonight. we will see you again tomorrow. now it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, lawrence. rachel, the debate was even worse than you presented. we re going to present i was going to use the word highlights. we re going to present excerpts of this debate, this david duke debate coming up. and he attached himself to
yeah, i m the bad guy, because i defend the people of this country that made this country great. gave us a constitution and our freedom. and we re losing our rights in america. anybody who stands up for this country tells the truth, what s happening to our country. we re losing our country. anybody who does that is going to be a target of the media, just like donald trump. it is time we stand up now. this is the tipping point. we re getting outnumbered and outvoted in our own nation. lest we stand up now, our children have no future. welcome back to hardball. that was louisiana senate candidate, former grand wizard of the kkk and ardent donald trump supporter. i m not sure trump wants him, but he is, david duke last night in his senate debate. the debate was held at the historically black dillard university and met with fierce protests from students outside the debate hall, some of whom clashed with police when they tried to enter the auditorium. let s watch.
now obviously even just david duke s presence on that stage has been controversial. even his presence in that debate, his invitation to that debate, as somebody polling well enough to be there. that led to protests at the site of the debate. but all that was before he used that debate stage tonight to share with us his david duke views of the jews. i m not opposed to all jews. i think there are a lot of jews i honor. but let me tell you about something. i m against jews or anybody else who puts the interests of some other place over our own country. not opposed to all jews. something said, actually said in a senate debate stage in the year 2016. today s louisiana senate debate took place in an empty auditorium at a historically black college called dillard university in new orleans. students at dillard protested. there aren t arrests. some people were reportedly pepper sprayed by university police as they tried to protest outside the debate hall.
of he views competition as something where if you have a potential weapon, you use it. there are no boundaries. this would be why he d bring up former accusers of bill clinton, bring them to the debate hall, say the things about hillary clinton going to jail and, yet, at the end of the day, if you can fight back, maybe beat him, as hillary clinton is right now, he ll respect your toughness. do you think that is a fair read? i think that is a pretty fair read. i definitely believe he respects hillary clinton s toughness. even people like me who never in a million years would vote for clhillary clinton, i recognize r as a strong leader. she is a tough woman who has been in the game 30 years. i think for me the issue with donald trump is, you know i think after kellyanne conway came on, we saw the resurgence and he was on message. the fact he s said everything he s said that s been off color, but he s still in the game 18 days out, for me, this indicates that hillary clinton is clearl
and much expanded. tonight the presidential debate. what is the most special about the debate is what this does for our students. we ve got a few hundred students working here in the debate hall and the cox pavilion and spin alley. a total of 1,000 students working the debate all week long all across campus. we have faculty that created new courses for the debate for this fall. we have a national lecture years business we re running and many other things on the debate that are going. and probably the thing we re most proud of is the partnership with the clark county school district. our nationally ranked debate team is working with the debate teams throughout all the schools and they ve been watching the debates live and analyzing them. and in addition we have all the students throughout the district writing essays about the debate. so it has been a thrill to participate. it is a great time for unlv. thank you. on behalf of our hotel resort partners, i want to thank all of you for be
