kimberly: welcome back to this especially edition of hannity. the left continues its crusade to take down president trump. former vice president al gore is calling for president trump to resign and some members of the mainstream media are also trying to gin up outrage and are making things a lot worse. here s a few of the latest examples. watch. i am an optimist. i have never been as discouraged as i have been this week about our country. we are at a low point of american history. well, the civil war was probably bad. well, that was bad. well, i am worried about what s w coming. the great depression, was probably worse. we are going to take down every monument that pays tribute to a racist. we should probably take down every building with the namen trump on it. kimberly: yesterday, cnn s wolf blitzer questions whether the barcelona terrorists were a copycat of what happened in charlottesville. watch this. there will be questions about
he needs to say, kimberly, that we are one nation, one people. we are not democrats, republicans, liberals, conservatives. we need to get past the symbolic issues, however wrenching. talk about tax reform, we need to talk about infrastructure. fixing health care. we need, in short, to talk about the real problems and challenges overseas. like iran and north korea.ng from nations we can t get mired down in talking about confederate monuments. i think we should leave it to localities. c i don t like them but the larger issue is who we are as aes peope and how we move forward. not symbolic politics. kimberly: doug, there s been some polling on that. want to stay with you for a moment. 62% of americans believe that the confederate monuments should stay. is it a losing issueum for the democrats and yet you also say that the president should redirect and talk about other issues instead of focusing on it? i would say it s a losing
fox news contributor, doug schoen.ja and executive director of turning point usa, charlie kirk. thank you for joining me tonight on this explosive issue that continues to grip the nation. james, i will start with you. president trump said the issue n of confederate statues and monuments should be an issue that is best left to the states into the cities. do you agree?th yes, i do agree. i spent ten years as a high school history teacher. i taught my students about the good, bad, and ugly of history. there are lessons in this. i look at what is happening across the nation, confederate monuments the horror, the important lessons that are being lost and the opportunities to avoid the mistakes that were being made in the past. kimberly: you said president trump should give an t oval office address to bring the american folks together. what should he say about oval office address?ss
copycats. about what happened in barcelona was at all a copycat version of what happened in charlottesville, virginia. even though they may be different characters and have different political ambitions. they used the same killing device. a vehicle going at high speed into a large group of pedestrians. kimberly: joining us now with reaction, lieutenant colonel allen west.. lieutenant colonel west, you wrote that you found it rather odd that some people were trying to blame president trump for what happened in charlottesville. why do you feel that way? good to be with you, kimberly. what i find very interesting as everything now has to come back to white supremacists. everything now has to be about racism. as listening to some of the clips you are playing. a low point for me during the obama administration, when we knew we had a president, secretary of state, and
this court system. and he s done so much. the president said he has stopped a lot of crime and saved lives. and is there anybody in local law enforcement who has done more to halt illegal immigration than sheriff joe? the president answered his own question and said absolutely not. kimberly: wow. that s excellent. he spoke to the man directly. you know his personal thoughts. gregg, always great to see you. coming up, more of the especially edition of hannity after the break. copd makes it hard to breathe.
