Judy the Southern Poverty Law Center has made public excerpts from emails from steve miller, a key figure shaping immigration the messages from 25 and 2016 his support for White Nationalists websites and ideologies. A reporter with the san diego media station is writing a book on Stephen Miller and she joins me now to talk about what these mail say and the light they appear to shed on his ng as he exudes influence on the president. Welcome back. E emails were an exchange between film . Between whom . Between stephen milr and breitbart. They were sent while Stephen Milleron worked for jeff ses and on the trump campaign. There was a brebart editor that was fired and she decided to take the emails and share them with the southernty law center to expose the White Nationalism she says is affecting or influencing the Trump Administration and its formation of immigration policies. Judy and breitbart forhose of you that do not know is a far right websites a nbsite. And that is where she was working until she was fir a few years ago. Tell us what is the content of these emails. They were exchanging their thoughts and ideas on what breitbart should be covering. That was part of it. Mccuhabeen introduced to miller as someone that would be influencing the direction of her reporting. Sh was he was providing materials often from White Nationalists literature and encouraging them to rom it for their stories. What i found to be the most emails was that at one point Stephen Millerecommends they do a story about a book called camp of the saints. It is an incredibly racist world that depicts the end of the white world as a result of an invasion of refugees. It is filled with extremely degradindescriptions of migrants and to ve an example of the kind of rhetoric it includes all of the kinky haired phantoms, all of th teeming ants toiling for the white mansomfort. These descriptns of mrants that are very degrading and they filled a book. Hebr encouragetbart editors to do a story showing parallels between the book and real life. Juli hahn, who is an editor there or was an editor therengid a story sahe book was ophetic and showing what was happening at the border and that immigration would eventually lead to the doom of society. And steve bannon, after that ngalso started referenhe book repeatedly after Stephen Miller recommended it to breitbart saying that it described the invasion at the border. That the book had been prophetic. And the doom described in the tbook would be happening u. S. Judy the white house is saying wait a minut this comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center which they say is a left leaning organization that they know alrey opposes them. Ey are saying the material is suspect. Exactly. Oey are not split the late denied the contethe emails that they have said that the law center, they call it a left wzag smear orgaon. What the center has been doing for several years is exposing hate groups an trying to shed light on whitest suprema and White Nationalist groups. The whe houses essentially saying that the organization is a smear organization and they are reporting and their reporting and analbeis should noaken seriously. Judy you are writing a book about Stephen Miller. How does this connect the administrations picies towards immigration . What these emails show is some of the White Nationalism in forming the formatithese policies. What is interesting is that Stephen Miller is the architect of the Trump Administrations border and immigration policies. President trump has repeatedly said he is focused on cuing off illegal immigration. He wants to go after criminals, drug traffickers, rapists. What we have seen over the course of the past over t course of his presidency is that they have limit legal immigration. They have gone after refugees nonwhite countries. What the emails indicate is some of the White Nationalist ideology that may have gone into informing the formation of those policies which largely echo some of the groups that Stephen Miller was drying from and he was communicating with a sharing with breitbart. Judy jean guerrero, doing a lot of reporting on this. A lot of emails are out there to examine and i know people will want to look at those emails themselves. I kw they are posted on the site of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Thank you. Thank you. Judy now, to afghanistan and our exclusive look time taliban lines. The u. S. Has been fighting there since the 9 11 attacks by al qaeda. They were hosted in afghanistan by the taliban. Dia movement of l extremista that ruled witrsh interpretation of islam. A u. S. Led coalition ousted them in 2001 but the taliban weekly formed into an Insurgent Group fighting the American Military and democratic Afghan Government th replaced them. 18 year later, fighting there rages more violently than ever and some are drawing the ntatn to the means of fighting. We are reporting on the constant presence o rages largely out of view. Reporter these are the faces of americas most persistent enemy. U. S. Soldiers have been battling the taliban for dearly two de leading up to 9 11, the taliban lled over much of afghanistan. American troops were sent to destroy the taliban and yet, 18 yearsater, their fighters rome freely across this country. And these commaarers say they close to victory. I am fully confident that america is bein defeated and will be defeated and they will be humiliated when they leave. Reporter they talked with us facetoface and out in open even as nearby we hear the sod of their fighters clashing with Afghan Government forces. After months of serious negotiations, taliban leaders and t white house came close to a deal that would have seen some of the 13,000 american soldiers withdraw from afghanistan in exchange for peace talks between the taliban and the u. S. Backed afghan governme. It fell through at the lt moment and the gtoup continues fight every day. They know that President Trump still wants out of this war. Yes, they are definitely leaving whether by fogoe or through tiations. Reporter our m journey toeet with the taliban began at sunris traveling far outside of the capital to a nearby province. It is so dangerous for westerners in this region, the onlyay i can travel safely is by diceis dising myself in a full bur rqa. These roads show theurden of fighting. Government forces are hunkered down in small outposts on one side of the road a on the other, the taliban control everything. Our escorts came and met us. Athey are in motorcycle leading our car off the main road and into a mountaino area. This is one of the most violent parts of the country. Just as we have arrived here where we are going to be interviewing the taliban commander, inically, we are close to government pitions and gun battles can be heard in the distance. Despite the talibans confidence come of the war is far from over. Int, it is more brutal than ever. We came to find out what is happening with the people here. Village eers greeted us. Their communities are trapped and they pay a heavy price. Airstrikes in afghanistan, talargely by the u. S. Mili, are the most intense since nearly a decade ago. These afghans are suffering under the results. We visited several villages, all of them partially destroyed our the war from above. It is not the airplpees the le fear the most. Afghan special forces came in the night. They blew up the door and said we were taliban and that they would kill us. Reporter this is an increasingly covert war mostly fought by afgh and American Special forces against the taliban with little acss for the outsid world to see what is going on. They said i was aiar and i said no, i was telling the truth. Mthey blindfold and put me on the ground over there. They set fire to my motorcycle. This is not a taliban and bike. There was another guide with them and he was asking me questions in english. Reporter and he was lucky. Some of the night raids are connected to the Intelligence Agency backed by the cia. Human rights watch say they are unlawfully executing people. In many case innocent civilians are also executed. The u. S. Based Organization Says these troops include Afghan Strike forces who have been responsible r executions and forced disappearances. R and otolations of international humanitaan law or the laws of war. They largely have been recruited and trained by the cia. Cithey often have u. S. S forces personnel deployed alongside the during kill or pture operations. Because these forces, under intelligence rather than the military, getting answers about alleged abuses are near impossible. Kate crk runs the Afghan Analyst Network which monitors in terms of accountability, they are unaccountable in this country. Nsidering the fact that they seem to be breakin the chain of conventions on a regular basis, its really concerning. Reporter the cia linked Afghan Special forces often referred to as Strike Forces. They are technically part of the ndsf but their chain of command is not clear. Even afghan goveapment officials ar to know little about them. How many of them are there . Those small issues i don. Have informati reporter can you tell us anything about them . For the moment, i dont have y information. I assure yout ty force that operates in afghanistan operates under afghanistans laws. Reporter who do they answer to . If they work for ndsf, that is who they answer to. Porter i am talking about the intelligence forces. These Strike Forces have been increasing t air raids and night raids. In s areas, they are on the front line of the word. They scramble for stronger positions in any future peace negotiations, violence has intensified making afghanistan theeadliest conflict on earth according to the u. N. With civilian casualties in record numbers. On the ground, our taliban exports escorts are fearful of attracting attention om they are telling us that we need to keep moving. We cannot spendhoo m time in one village or home. The areas are constantly being surveyed surveilled by drones. In the next village come even more gun battles can be heard in the distance. He came out to spe. C barely get the words out. Last winter, and Afghan Special forces team came to his house. I told them that we were not taliban. Reporter he says the soldier took his two nephews away, one was a teenage boy. After some moments, i heard bullets. The father asked why did you kill my children . Reporter an elderly man was also executed. Nd one american was sg here at the door. I saw him myself. Ami dont know if the erican or the others shot them. When the shooting happened, my brother shouted they killed reporter no in from the village is a member of the insurgency and when h went to the local governor to complain, he was told the killings were a mistake and nothing could be done. The cia responded to a request for comment abuses saying we neither condone or would knowingly participate in illegal activities. We continue to work with our foreign partns to continue adherence to the law. Although Human Rights Watch did not provide the cia time tga study the alons in the report, without confirming or denying any particular role i government at cavities activities, we can say with some confidence that many if not all of the claims are likely false exaggerated. Janustyjuly, the f time in this long conflict that u. S. And Afghan Forces have killed and injured more civiliansn tha the taliban according to the u. N. And yet the taliban are still killing and maiming thousands like in this septemberack when a member detonated a car bomb killing an american and a romanian soldi. We challenged the commander on this. Why does that taliban tarcit areas wherlians are in the neighborhood . Thery martyrso hit their targets and not harm civilians but it happens. Have a clear order not to harm civilians. Reporter n the People Living i these villages have nothing but mud walls between them and the were outside. Reduced to labels like taliban supporters or progovernment, those in afghanistans hidden battlegrounds fight their own personal battlesiv to su every day. Sometimes against anonymous and shadowy killers. Americas longest war is theirs too. I am Jane Ferguson in afanistan. Judy a new report fr the u. S. Highlights that we are still losing the battle against superbugs, bacter that is resistant to nearly all santibiot. The scope of the problem isbi er than previously estimated. Reporter the cdcs new report shows that while overall deaths from the superbugs are decreasing, in infections are increasing. These superbugs exist largely because of the over use and misuse of and a biotic which allows the targeted bacteria to develop defenses against them which makes those drugs less effective. Acco people die every year from these infections. The majority are from people getting in fact did in hospitals and other health care settings. More than 2. 8 million new infections occur every year. Erone 11 seconds. For more on all of this, i amin by an official that works for the cdc. Thank you for being he before we get into the granular details of the report, i wonder if we could lk about the broader scope of the problem . By any plic health measure, almost 3 mlion infections every year is a lot of infections. Yes, and thanmeyou for having it is a staggering burden. And that burden is why we have been calling attention to the problem for several years. The burden is larger than we thought it was. We knew our 2013 report was a conservative estimate. We recognid it was an underestimate. It was the best infon we had at the time. We have better information. The new number shows this continues to be a significant problem. A massive problem. A threat to patients in ispitals. A serious threat. Reporter some of these infections are lifethreatening while others are not. What kinds of infections are we taing about . These infections run the full gamut of different types of d ideologies. Ey range in severity. Skin infections that could be readily tradable. Fsome them cause very serious infections, lifethreatening infections. And roughly 35,00people every year do not survive one of these infections. For each individual person, ois is a seriourrence. Pain, suffering. It is important we not atunderestor trivialize any one of these 2. 8 million infections. Reporter onest thing thads out is the declini number of deaths. An 18 overall reduction. 30 in hospitals alone th is straight up good news. What is driving that decline . Those declines are good news anr encouraging. Me people that have seen this report, he little bit of it flies in the face of conventional wisdom. There was a lot of suspicion oue there and pehat said develop, there is nothing you can do. This report shows you can put the genie back in the bottle to a certain extent. Infections have gone down. Especially in health care. What is driving that . We thi it is the hard work of people especially hospitals where we have seen the biggest decreases. Is the day in and day out work of people paying attention to cleaning their hands. Working to improve antibiotic us some of these rings seem relatively simple. None of them are easy to do every day. Patient. Of every single but that hardpa work ing off and we want to a knowledge of work that people are doing and encourage tm to keep at it. Reporter youisentioned this e of better antibiotic which dovetails with one of the reasons why these emerged in the first place. For individuals listening out there, what would you tell them about best practices for them, their families, and their communities . And a biotics are lifesaving meditions and they improve the quality of life. When you have an infection that needs in an a biotic, that is what you need. The u. S. And in hospitalsnd in outpatient settings, we are describing them prescribing them when they are not needed. And when that happens, you are exposingourself to all sorts of potential side effects. These are medications that have significant side effects. When you need them, the side effects are risks worthaking but when you do not need them, you are exposing yourself to all of the side effects with no benefits. One of the keyessages has been and continues to be do not demand and antibiotic if your provider things you do need one. Reporter doctor, thank you very much. Thank you so much. Judy as Older Workers are making it more making up more of the labor force, employers are taking notice. We have more on our series. I am practicing to be retired. Reporter brenda philps still works as a project administrator. She is no longer fulltime. I have taken up quilting and i have nine grandchildn. I get asked to babysit a lot. Reporter after almost 40 years on the floor, he opted to hang after two years, he returned as a supervisor. Retirement was not what i thought it would be. What is important to me is to pass some of the knowledge that i have to the younger generation. I am just one person. I can correct some things. Reporter pa they ar of my encore. A program started a few years ago. We quickly realized that the jority of our employee population was over the age of 50 and man of them close to retirement. As we looked at that population, we were concerned about all of the tribal knowledgesie would be lo. Reporter as they fazed retirement. This is a gallery of employers. Reporter they say it is happening elsewhere as well. This is a school where they pair older and younger teachers together. This is an urban health hlan th flexible policies. Reporter t reason they have been willing to accommodate if they have no choice. Do you want the nurse who is dealing with her first intervene us tube . No, you want the one that can eddo it with their eyes cl reporter the shortage is everywhere. Workforce shortages. Fo woe shortages in plumbing and heating and skilled construction. Reporter o a centuryld Manufacturing Firm in brooklyn the ceo oue do everything to keep r Older Workers because they are so skiheed and we dont have people to fill in behind them. We have invested 1030 years in their skill set. Reporter what you do to keep an older worker like me . We have several people your age here. The most common thing we will do is give them the ability to work a shorter work week. And it eases their way out. Im doing what is best for the company. Reporter by keeping the likes of this machinist on the job for 40 years and still io it. How long will you continue to work . When my wife says enough is enough, we are going to florida. Reporter she has not said it yet . Not yet. She does not want to see me all day. Reporter when he hurt his back, thepa c put him behind a desk. Ge they sed i might be helpful in the office bringing my experience. I also did not have to lift heavy wire. Reporter it does not hire senior workers, does it . We a hiring someone that is 59 years old to go into the factory and we have tten 15 years out of that person. And they are not looking to jump around. Reporter an accounting fe m wh of the workforce are past 40. If somebody has to retire due to a mandatory practice th a firm has i place, we wind up getting people with great experience who want to work a are motivated and can help our less experienced individuals. Reporter l fiori was a partner at kpmg. In his 70s, he brought his rolodex and experience. I acted as a mentor. My perspective is benefici. You feel like you are making contributions. Reporter the companys contribution . A flexible schedule. What is important in staying involved is being able to work w when you want k. Workeis fair that older value having some flexibility to take time off. Maybe regularly or maybe a little bit as they want. Flexibility matters. Reporter so much so according to this economist that fully 60 of retirees say they would go ck to work if it were flexible. But for soany, it is not. That is the options tfoy are lookindo not exist. They may have stepped out of the work force saying they were burned out. They tried to step back into the workforce, but then many find it is a per minute timeout. Reporter is there a huge le . Apped pool of work avail yes. Icom in most days of the week. I come in most days of the week. Reporter she likes working parttime and needs to. Ha my husbana major stroke and is disabled so am the bread winner. Reporter returning to work ve this retiree financial stability. I want to travel. Reporter as the proportion of Older Workers continues to grow says this of economist we are going to have to face is issue. Manye places would lto keep employing those that need a timeout. Reporter as some places now have. Judy the word elite increasingly has a negative connotation and is often used as a potical attack. We sit down with author jules stein joel stein whose new book reviews how we look at this position. Reporter l me start with the title of the book in defense of elitism. Why does elitism need a defense right now . Everyone hates the elite right now. Everyone says they can operate from their gut and they know more than the generals. I wantto to r some kind of expertise and some value and appreciation for education. Reporter what does it mean to beli right now . I dont mean rich. Many are journalists or in nongovernmental organizations or they are in academia. Awere talkiut people with influence and power. These groups of elite. Between an italian economist in 1900 came up with this. That there is a battle between people a someone always rules. I think we are in thbattle betwee intellectual elite and the boat elites. It was a term i came up with after watching dald trump after railing against the elites during his campaign, he then said we should be the elites. Reporter i should mention the bookth begins he election of donald trump. That is where the wholehe exploration ofdea of elitism begins for you. Du saidt succeeds for the me reason it dades ago. Donald trump was antiite. That is why he was successful. He is an ivy league graduate. A millionaire or a billionaire. He has incredible power. Mewhen did this be bad word . He has respect for anyone or education. Kind of expertise he operates from his. He says he operates from his gut. Reporter you head out on a pilgrimage. You go to a town in texas. I went there myself because in this panhandle town, they had the highest level of support for donald trump. What did they tell you . Ou are the only person i can talk to about this town. It was really intesting. I went there not knowing that you were alsgoing there thinking i would teach them a lot and they would teach me a little bit that i could stitch on a doily and keep in my kitchen. i dot know about you but i felt i learned a lot from them. It were a were very different from what i expected. They were very white and christian but also very educated and they knew more about my life then i did about theirs. Both from traveling and watching television. Their ang on was different than i thought it was. I thought it would be racist. Sathat is what the to me. You think we are racist, dont yo and i found out that what touy are upset is they feel really discriminated against. These are the people that if you ask them are christians discriminated more than black people . And they would say yes. What they have noticed is that White Christians do have lesy power than t did 1030 years ago. And they are panic about that change. Reporter a lot of the book is very tongue in cheek. You make fun of yourself. But at times you makeun of the people you are interacting with. You are describing a home that you visited in texas. Isnt that the kind of elitism they would complain about . Oh yes, and they did to me and i think they had a point. Elites have a real problem with smugness. I think a lot of my friends believe if they could go to that town inexas, they would change their minds. Li they are the unenlightened masses. I think it is a dangerous vision they have but it is not ignorant. Reporter you need to with a number of different people including tucker carlson, scott adams, the man behindrt dil erik garcetti, the los angeles mayor. At the end of the day, whaitis ou take away from your conversations withhem . I wrote the book hopefully in a funny way partly because i want to draw attentionlo to the ridi situation we are in. There are so many angry books abt politics right now and i just wanted to point out that when i was growi up, if you told me there would be a popust revolution in america would think there was an economic collapse or a warut instead, things were going pretty well despite what people tell you about corruptio and the economy. Things are pretty good and people were flipping out. Nei want them to tot down before we lose our democracpo er thank you for being here. Judy tonights brief but spectacular features an artist whose work explores questions of racial identity. I grew up in los angeles, cafornia. Two South Central l. A. To South Central l. A. P,when i was growi the neighborhood was fantastic but as i got older, things got rough. It became a neighborhood where you could not walk down the reet. Erything about the neighborhood that i grew up i with the friends that i had,nd the experiences of being a black studentre in aminately White High School and Elementary School all of those things come into the work. My work is not happy work. Its very difficult work and powerful. I make it very colorful. I make it look like a piece of candy so you wt to come up and unwrap it. And when you do, it tastes like salts. As a kid, we did notal about the Civil Rights Movement in our house. I was more interested in spaceot as i glder, i realized what was probably more important to my life. And i started to want to a learn mout events that were happening. The goal was to build a new history that showed two events happening concurrently. And these groups of people workingo develop a cohesive idea of the american dream. Ch1961 in my reseit was the first time i found these remarkable connections. You have freedom riders driving on may 4 two d segregate interstate traffic and the next i was sitting in the library at that time and i came to that nclusion. These things were happening within hours of each other. Growing up and not seeing any black astronauts, to have anto opportunitake a world where you have africanamericans and these astronauts worerng toge. Africanamericans were part these mercury visions got me to go and see what i could do. I grew up in a family that was mostly women. I was raised by my mom, my aunts, and my grandmother. I wanted to make work that talked about t contribution that women have had in history whether it be africanamerican Civil Rights Movement, the space race. My daughters name is violet and she is six. It is a rough world out there. Particularly for women and women of color. When i make work, i think a lot out her. I make sure i have images of women in my work. And iept them in positions of power and strength. And that is the main impact of my work right now, it is her. This is my brief but spectacular take of exploring the world through my art. Judy you can watch additional episodes on our website. Is hard to believe but today marks three years d since or friend and colleague gwen passed away. We think of her all the time. He loss was particularly felt by our young journalists. Here are four graduates from that program. We asked them to write letters they wished they could have shed with her. Dear gwen, through journalism i have connected with so many different people and through this fellowship i got to sit around the same table that you and Judy Woodruff sat at every day. We always talk about African Americans and people of color. I want to talk abo white people. I can honestly say this fellowship has been one of the greatestin experience thiy life so far. Confident in myself. El so you taught me to embrace my differences and not let anyone degrade me because of appearance. Your legacy means so much to me as an africanamerican woman. It shows that i can be part of something bigger than myself. You paved the way for me so i canav the way for others like me. You probably had no idea that a fellowship would be created in your name. I used to watch you all the timw when younger. You were a major inspiration in my decision to be a journalist. I never got to meet you but i feel concted to you. Our society is more inclusive. My investigations in little rock and washingto you have opened so many doors for storytellers behind joe. Your smile remains infectious. Have a little fun. Thank you for being my greatest role model.
