tha thanks for being with us. this group calls itself alt right. how do you know what that means? what s the distinction between alt right and what we saw there which was neo-nazi white supremist stuff, coupleled with what they said in other instances over the weekend, than jews are not people? well, there s absolutely no distinction to be honest. alt right is simply white supremacy rebranded for the digital age. it s the new term for an idea called everything from white nationalism to white realism to white pride. what do you think the effect is of a, calling it alt right as opposed to neo-nazi and, b, the trump transition not specifically condemning this meeting? the threat all along has been these ideas would be legitimized. during this breeuising campaign during which donald trump blew a dog whistle to a number of
twitter to harass and demean various ethnic groups. so we have a little bit of a two-sided message here. yeah, he s saying stop it, but he s also, you know, giving a wink-wink nod-nod to the very people he s asking to step away from their violence. all right, ryan lenz, thank you. there are plenty of people who are in favor of draining the swamp, not having lobbyists involved and taking some of the money out of politics that i m sure have no connection or supported by groups like this but i appreciate the point. ryan lenz, thank you. discussing further. carl higby, a donald trump supporter and former navy s.e.a.l. we were sitting here watching the comments together from this white supremist group. i think we both had the same reaction. this is garbage. it s racist nazi garbage that we her from them over the weekend. so why not just say that if you re the trump team? i mean, look, these people are idiots, you and i both
they may have done anyway and getting tax credits for it. that s the big rub. you ll see short-term growth. the longer-term growth is going to be predicated on how this plan rolls out. interesting discussion. there are a lot of questions that we do need to key on asking here. meanwhile, brand-new demands that donald trump personally denounce a group of racists cheering his victory and chanting hail trump during a meeting just blocks from the white house. plus, an extraordinary suggestion from a president-elect. donald trump calls on the leader of brexit to be named an ambassador. even though somebody already has that job. actually the american president doesn t get to choose which ambassadors come to the united states. the uk not happy at all about this. and horrific new details regarding a school bus crash that killed at least five children on their way home from school. we ll give you those details coming up. all finished. umm. you wouldn t want your painter to quit part way.
now posting his terrible nazi drunken crayon scribblings is the same guy who wrote at storm front in 2002 about steve skalise. about seeing this up and coming rep speak at david duke s neonazi meeting. to this day, nobody has seen any photographs of steve skalise speaking to that white supremist group. but storm front, as an online sort of, you know, hate exchange, it still exists. and the storm front archives are searchable all the way back to when it was e it was founded. that contemporary yous reporting speaking to that white supremist group, that reporting on storm front, somebody saying that they ve seen him there, that s the seminal evidence that steve skalise, in fact, spoke to that
probably just didn t know what he was doing. didn t know where he was. duke who? david what? steve skalise s most detailed explanation is that he was steeking about a tax brief. and the new reporting today, from the guy in lae laouisiana who initially wrote that story, his reporting today is that steve skalis about the tax plan, itself, makes no sense. he hadn t even been filed in the state legislature on the day that steve skalise made his speech to the david duke white supremist group. but, apparently republicans believe the story anyway. apparently, they re going to keep him in the leadership for the new congress. not a single member of congress has called for steve skalise to 12e7 down or emp for him just to withdraw from the number three
