Manafort and others and the very next day, at least one of those loans was approved. One of those loans was for 5. 7 million. Whats interesting about this is this is the time when mr. Manafort was the Campaign Chairman or the Campaign Manager of the trump campaign, and it was pretty clear that this man wanted, in other words, the ceo, wanted to do something with the Trump Organization. And he expressed that. It wasnt clear whether he was talking about the Trump Organization in new york, the business, at least from the testimony i heard while i was there, or whether he was talking about the trump campaign. Nonetheless, its also clear that this individual, steven, did get recommended for a job inside the administration, we know from other sources. The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Application. And apparently, he forgot about it. So then he started bawling out the prosecutors in front of the jury and that causes them to lose their credibility. Then a second incident occurred when the judge told the jury to disregard testimony about paul ma manafort applying for a loan and said words to the effect of to the prosecutors, why dont you focus about the facts of the case, its about the loans he did get, not the loans he applied for. The prosecutors later came back and said, judge, this is a conspiracy case, and that application for the Loan He Didnt Get is part of the case. We want a curative instruction. Now, when a judge gives a curative instruction, hes saying to the jury, disregard what i told you before, and consider the evidence that the prosecution offered. But the defense in that case is now going to say, judge, youre endorsing the veracity of their testimony, you dont have the right to do that. So its a big argument. Why would they take several
hours to do this today . Because that instruction is such a complicated instruction. Okay. It could cause a mistrial or reversal on appeal. Its essentially saying, dont listen to me, im the judge, even though i told you that evidence was irrelevant. I dont know. Its a complicated instruction. Thats all i can say. Okay. Okay. Im looking at the lawyer, did you have anything to jump in on . Just to regard to some of these sidebars, one other noteworthy thing, in an earlier sidebar this week, which was apparently very lengthy, the governments also filed a motion to have a transcript of that sidebar, you know, the court clerk is still typing up what the lawyer and judge are saying. Yeah. To have that sealed because what was revealed in that sidebar is part of an ongoing sensitive investigation. Got it. That has not yet been made public and was related to gates testimony. So, interesting to see what that could be about. Okay. Stay with me. I have more for you. Including the Special Counsels Russia Investigation Closing in on this guy, roger stone and his inner circle. Why one of his Close Associates just simply failed to show up for a Grand Jury Subpoena today. But first, well talk race in america.

This weekend marks one year since a group of racists marched
on the streets of charlottesville. One year since one of them ran over a young woman bravely speaking out against them and killed her. One year since the president of the United States said that there were fine people on both sides. He said that, by the way, not just once, but twice. He said it again, even after all the backlash. But one year later, we are discussing race and once again the most heated of ways. The president today renewing his attacks on nfl players after several of them last night took a knee, raised a fist, during the leagues first preseason games. In part, the president says that these players are unable to define their outrage. And says nfl games, which are played on american soil, by the way, are not the places to be protesting. On top of this, you have this fox news host blatantly citing illegal and Legal Immigration as a reason the america she loves doesnt exist anymore because of, quote, democratgraphic chan. She just unapologetically and so
blatantly cites race for not liking the america that she sees and last night when spike lee whose new movie profiles a reallife confrontation with the kkk from the 770s, when he was asked about charlottesville, this is what spike lee had to say about racists in america and who is speaking to them. This guys got in the white house, its not even a dog whistle. Its a blowhorn. And then also, anderson, weve seen a rise of the right. Its not just americans. Its worldwide. Kanye west, he sees it differently. Speaking out in support of president trump. Everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me. And then told me every time i said i liked trump that couldnt say it out loud or my career would be over. Id get kicked out of the black
community because blacks, were supposed to have a monolithic thought, we can only be democrats. You so famously and so powerfully said george bush doesnt care about black people. Makes me wonder what makes you think that donald trump does or any people at all. Why dont we take a break. Well come back and kanye west yeah. Not often you see him speechless. Im excited to talk to this guy, van jones, Our Cnn Political Commentator and host of the van jones show. Obviously an honor to have you on. I want to run through all of the News Happenings and all the things tied together because of this discussion on race. But its one year this weekend that charlottesville happened. You have spent so much time talking to people on different sides of the aisle. Bringing them together. Yeah. What do you think of where we are in this country right now . I think were still spiraling away from each other. I think that part of the tragedy is, you know, good people
there are good people on both sides of the political divide in america. There are good republicans. There are good democrats. There are not good people on the si side of the nazis, not geed peop good people on the side of swastikas and using isis tactics to murder someone with a car in broad daylight in the streets of america. Theres got flogood people on b sides of that. Were spiraling away from each other. Im proud, though, aer y eyear charlottesville a lot of groups because of ordinary people saying were sick of this, they cant use credit cards online anymore, social media is starting to boot them off. The antibodies are starting to kick in to say extreme hatred has no place yet it then sflene back through the front door with Laura Ingrahams. Weve been pushing it out the back door on social media and Laura Ingraham on Cable Television comes out you cant walk that back. Cant walk it back. You cant walk that back. I just want to be very clear about something. Usually, it is a dog whistle, to spike lees point of view, usually it is, well, its about border security, its about t following the law. Its about people being in line, not jumping the line, its not about race. Theyve been telling the liberals, people like ing it be race. Were postracial in america. Shut up about it. I dont care if theyre not terrorists, if theyre not in gangs, if theyre brown, i dont like them. Thats race. You mentioned ingraham. Seems like with so many people, views on race, theyre not hiding it anymore. Theyre not hiding it anymore. Lets go back to fox news host Laura Ingraham. First i want to play for you, hear what she said that caused such this uproar then hear her clarification . Some parts of the country, it does seem like the america that we know and love doesnt exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the american people, and theyre changes that
none of us ever voted for and most of us dont like. From virginia to california, we see stark examples on how radically in some ways the country has changed. Now, much of this is related to both illegal and in some cases Legal Immigration that, of course, progressives love. A message to those who are distorting my views including all white nationalists and especially one racist freak whose name i will not even mention. You do not have my support, you dont represent my views, and you are antithetical to the beliefs i hold dear. The purpose of Last Nights Angle was to point out that the rule of law, meaning secure borders, is something that used to bind our country together. And despite what some may be contending, i made explicitly clear that my commentary had nothing to do with race or ethnicity. Sorry, laura, you cant walk
rod of discord of ulysses, pennsylvania, population 690. With the help of the internet, his message has spread far and wide giving his town attention it does not want. Rural america spoke up when they elected trump. Rural america. Reporter and by rural america, he means white america. Were staring down the barrel of a gun here in white america. Theres still 193 million white americans, yes, the vast majority of them are in their 60s and 70s, will be in the ground in the next 20 years. And therefore, we have the possibility of becoming a minority in our own country. A possibility. Reporter it sounds to me of becoming a minority in our own country. Reporter that youre afraid of being me. Its my country. Reporter this is also my country. You didnt win the culture war. Reporter he invited us on his property to talk. When he doesnt like our conversation, he explodes. Get the [ bleep ] out of here. Now. Reporter we do. Just down the street were met by A Dozen Residents who say burnside does not speak for this town. There are families in this county that blame politics for people like him sort of being
able to come out and be very loud. Is that fair . Our president weve got right now hasnt helped the situation a whole lot. Hes got a lot of the same beliefs. You know, at least he wont speak against them. Okay, this guy feeds off that stuff. Reporter among the crowd, many with grandfathers or fathers who fought the nazis in world war ii. Were good people and hes stepping on us. Hes stepping on all of us. You know, we are all one tribe. You know, and who does he think he is . Reporter teacher Debby Hamilton just returned from Touring Concentration Camps in poland. One of the things we spent a lot of time talking about was Passive Resistance versus active resistance. Reporter so far theyve chosen Passive Resistance with burnside. On the other side of potter county, joe and shashina are convinced Pass Resistance is the wrong choice. Im not saying you should go to their houses with pitchforks and guns, you know, im saying
hold a peaceful protest against them. Ku klux klan neighborhood watch. Reporter after seeing kkk flyers in their neighborhood and burnsides declarations in their county, he did protest. He would look at me and givemy the finger and even make little gestures like they were going to shoot me. Reporter joe says the racial hatred intensified when his jamaican bride arrived. In walmart, i get a lot of that. This, [ bleep ]. Reporter in their minds, if more people stood up against hate, the racists would be forced to leave and let love stand. Sara sidner, cnn, ulysses, pennsylvania. Well is it worse now . Listen, i think that stuff thats been under the surface is now coming up to the surface. Yeah. And that can be good or bad. If you have leadership in the white house, when it comes up, it comes up and you try to heal it, that could be a good thing,
a cathartic thing. The problem is you got leadership in the white house when it comes up, they make it worse and spread the poison and try to use it politically. So were in a tough situation. I want to say, though, to my conservative friends, you got to pick a lane here. Youve been telling me, you know, were postracial. Quit playing the race card. You keep talking about race. Thats the problem. We dont care about that. We want secure borders. We dont like terrorism. Thats all it is. Now youve got the numberone News Organization for conservatives saying, hey, you know what, actually, were not talks about terrorism. Were saying the fact how about brown people . You got too many brown people is bad. I dont care if theyre schoolteachers, i dont care if theyre nuclear physicists. Too many brown people is bad. Which is the same thing that that guy was saying to sara sidner. A nazi standing outside of his trailer and Laura Ingraham have the same message now. Now, conservatives should be rising up. Conservatives youre screwing up our messaging. We need to hold them were postracial. Now youve got people who are
explicitly saying that no matter who you are, Doesnt Matter if youre a doctor, lawyer, if you are brown, and theres too many of you, i have a problem with that. Theres something that is called racism. There that is the definition of racism. And its coming from fox news hosts. In broad daylight in america. You wonder why we have people getting killed and run over and run out of towns in the rest of the country. Were better than this. We should be better than this. I started this conversation by saying weve spent a lot of time talking to folks on both sides, right, trying to find that common ground. That . Wh that is what youre beautiful at doing. Your show this weekend, you go to Stone Mountain. Yes. You go to Stone Mountain for your van in a van. Home to the largest confederate monuments and birthplace of the modern day kkk. So tell me about that. Well, it was a powerful experience, you know, i do this thing called van in a van, the
van jones show, please watch it tomorrow and we take republicans, democrats, lock the doors, child proof locks. I drive them around and make them talk. And this time i didnt tell them where we were going. And i drove to Stone Mountain. And the white woman starts crying because shes happy her father used to take her there as a kid for picnics, her father just passed away. The black woman starts crying we have a clip. Oh, im sorry. Never mind. You can see. Stone mountain park. Super nervous about coming here. Why . The etching in stone is a monument to domestic terrorism. Why do you say that . Its a celebration of confederacy. Its a reminder to black people that we should have never been freed. Im actually shaking right now. That makes me so sad because i dont i dont identify with it that way, but coming here, i think of all the times with my father. My family. And so this seems like a happy
place. To hear that its hurtful to you i can appreciate that. If i didnt have my seat belt on, i would hug you. It makes me sad that that is the impact it has on you, but this is a place where i have really happy memories. I could never sit in your shoes but i dont view the carving that way. How do you view it . I mean i mean, kkk rallies were here for a reason. It feels like a threat. It feels like a consistent and looming hard granite solid threat. Powerful exchange. You know, you got two middleclass professional Women Living There In Atlanta where youre from, they literally look at the same piece of granite and one cries tears of joy for her father. One literally cries and later on cries even more, terrified. We have to talk about that. Doesnt mean ones right or ones wrong. If we dont even know each other enough to understand why you can have completely different reactions, wereoather ereere e demagogues pull us apart. When we talk about eep oaach ot dont talk to each other, thats when the nazis can win. Do not miss this mans show tomorrow night 7 00 eastern. Well watch that exchange. You also have leslie jones from saturday night live. Yes, keeping up with the joneses. I love it. Thank you very much. Im so happy for you.
