[chanting] students protesting last night on the university of virginia campus on the anniversary weekend of the unite the right rally last year in charlottesville. Here with our sunday group, marc lotter, juan williams, lisa lerer and charlie hurt. Thanks to all of you for being here. Let me start with you. You have a new book called what the hell do you have to lose . Which harkens back to something that President Trump said on the campaign trail. Encouraging africanamericans to give him a chance that he got eight percent of the africanamerican vote which is not a lot but more than romney and mccain. When they ran. How do you think the president is doing on this issue . I think its pretty clear a year after charlottesville, the president continues to talk about blacks, about latinos to his white space as a group, hed say black and latinos are dumb, violent and less patriotic than white americans but i think thats racist language but he uses that. A place to that tribalism and in a way, to his political advantage. He seems to think it stirs up his base of voters to support him. But i think it also stirs up and emboldens the White Nationalists, the kkk, neonazis in this world. Thats why he is pulling that when 55 percent of americans see President Trump as acting in a way thats emboldening martha give me an example of how hes called africanamericans dumb . This week he called lebron james that he plays to this racial stereotype of blacks as being less intelligent. He has here, a sort of purposeful lack of attention to the racial stereotype to shut up and dribble. You dont have the right to be critical of your president. And the way that nfl players are viewed as unpatriotic by trump even though they are simply talking about Police Brutality and exercising strong constitutional rights. You see this behavior by President Trump after charlottesville being mimicked by republican candidates. Corey stewart in virginia. Congressional candidates that are holocaust deniers. Martha they are candidates. Respond to what juan is saying. I think its an incredibly unfair assessment of President Trump. When he calls lebron james tom, hes not drawing any nexus between his race and being dumb. I think the ones drawing a nexus, they are the ones bringing race into it. I think the Democratic Party has by far been worse in the past couple decades. Has used race, religion and gender to divide people and they make the whole problem so much worse. I dont think you can possibly deny that democrats have used racial politics at least as much as conservatives may have decades ago. It is tearing us apart. A year ago today, was a tragic event. One innocent person died. Two innocent Virginia State troopers were killed. Lets put it in perspective, when you noted at the top of the show martha, the number of people shot and killed in chicago. On a basic weekend. But the media focuses on this stuff. Politicians focus on it because they want to gin up these divisions in a very damaging way. But i think if we step back and put in perspective, Race Relations in this country are a whole lot better than i think you would get the impression from reading the media or listening to politicians were trying to make politics out of all of it. I think we should, everybody should call down to put this into perspective. Martha couple interesting voices on that. This is lashawn ford was a democrat in chicago. He says he wanted to help people in chicago and i accept that hell. We want to receive help from the president. Another voice, kanye west talking to jimmy kimmel had this to say when jimmy kimmel pushed back on his support of President Trump. Watch. Liberals cant bully me, the news cant believe me, hiphop community. At that point, if im afraid to be me, i am no longer kanye. Martha let me talk to you about the politics of all this. When it comes to election time, help with this impact the president with moderates and independent voters . Whats been so striking is that normally, when you have this kind of racial unrest, president s try to come the situation down. That is not what this president does but he seems to thrive on the tension and divisiveness. But, it really hasnt cost him. A year after charlottesville, republicans are more unified around him. Most places on the campaign trail, he hasnt really paid a price for what he said about the charlottesville incident a year ago. I think the take away for a lot of people around the president is that, theres no single incident that is going to tank him in the eyes of his supporters. Or hurt him more with independence either. Theyre not really holding their breath for a trina moment the. Martha and this is Kamala Harris talking about identity politics. I have a problem with that phrase. When people say that, its a that phrase is used to divide and it is used to distract. Its purpose is to minimize and marginalize issues that impact all of us. It is used to try to set us up. Martha this is the debate we are talking about. Your thoughts . To charlies point, democrats have been engaging in identity politics for decades. Its not something thats likely to change anytime soon. I think because of people like kanye west and others were coming out and saying, im going to give this president enchants are the ones who took the president of nsaid what you have to lose. More people are saying, i look at the Unemployment Rate that President Trump talks about. I look at our increased wages. I will give him a chance. The more democrats are going to have to strike fear and keep those people in their political full and i dont think its going to work in the long term. When you look at the president s Approval Ratings among africanamericans, its doubled according to some recent polls. About 20 percent. It shows the results do matter and people are starting to think critically for themselves. Martha thank you, we will take a quick break. Less than a month after the helsinki summit, the work toward Common Ground is now in the middle of something called Economic Warfare. Where are the u. S. And russia in terms of our relations really heading . We would talk to two key u. S. We denounce the order that threatens the whole world with a trade war in order to shake them down. Turkish president lashing out at the United States over sanctions and tariffs that send that nations currency tumbling and strained relations between the two nato allies. Senator Lindsay Graham and senator jack reed, both members of the Armed Services committee join us. We begin with senator Lindsay Graham. Welcome back to fox news sunday. In a New York Times editorial went on to say the United States until the United States respect turkeys sovereignty and proves it understands the dangers our nation faces, our partnership could be in jeopardy. Which leads to the question, is this still a working relationship with turkey . We have an airbase in turkey. There a nato ally. It needs to be a working relationship and we need their help in syria and iraq. But they have not just 56 americans turkish citizen to work for the american embassy. We will not have a normal relationship unless they let out. The charges against him are a sham and others who work for the american embassy. They had nothing to do with trying to topple the government. Martha in terms of the pastor bronson question and this backandforth between turkey and the United States over operations to overthrow the government which is what is angry about. Its interesting to see, that relationship a way we havent seen president s work in the past. You think this will be successful . Will he come back and is there a possibility to repair this relationship . We know that turkey wants to buy defense weaponry from russia. Also something we dont want them to do. This relationship needs to be repaired. Its in turkeys interest to have a Good Relationship with the United States and its in our interest. I would like to do one day to a Free Trade Agreement with turkey. Get them out of russias orbit and back into our sphere of influence where they should be. They will never, start until pastor bronson is out of jail. He had nothing to do with the in 2016. In 2016, the military turned on the turkish president. I can understand his concerns but the s 400, being from russia. Their premier Missile Defense system. We need to reset this relationship and the best way to do it is let the pastor come home and start over. Martha when the president left for helsinki, he talked about all of the meetings ahead of him. At that point, he said putin might be the easiest of all. That he wanted to find Common Ground with the leader of russia. Now weve got a situation where there are sanctions due to the poisoning that happened in the uk and is saying he thinks theyre in Economic Warfare at this point. Is it fair to say the president has put the goal of finding Common Ground with russia to the back burner at this point . I think russias behavior has dominated the relationship here. I dont mind trying to have a better relationship with russia. They just need to act better to achieve that goal. They did. They are directly involved in killing the british citizen, the poison that was used in britain to kill this former soviet spy who became a spy. Came from russia. They are meddling in the 2018 election. Im 100 percent certain that theyre continuing to meddle in our election. So ive introduced hardhitting sanctions. I applaud the administration for hitting russia based on what they did in britain. You will never have a better relationship with putin as long as he behaves the way he does and i appreciate the president pushing back. Martha i want to ask you. A nonforeignpolicy question. With regard to bruce the a worked for sally yates. Hes becoming a much more central figure in what looks to be the initiation of this Russian Investigation but what you know about that . He was the number four guy at the department of justice. His wife worked for fusion gps the firm hired to get dirt on President Trump. They hired Christopher Steele to gather together a dossier. Both campaigns were investigate by the fbi and department of justice in 2016. When it came to the Clinton Campaign, she got a pass. The kremlin investigation of the Clinton Campaign was a joke. When it came to the Trump Campaign, it was corrupt, bias and i think unethical. Mr. Should not have had any role in investigating the Trump Campaign because his wife worked at fusion gps. Hated trump, like clinton and started the counterintelligence investigation against him. When it came to dianne feinstein, they went to her and said theres a chinese person working on your staff that we think may be tied to the chinese government. When it came time , they never did the same for trump. These investigations were corrupt to the core. They gave clinton a pass. We need a special counsel to look at all Things Department of justice and fbi when it comes to the trump investigation, specifically the counterintelligence investigation. Martha i will circle back to north korea. The white house has really never explained the discrepancy between the president s tweet which says there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from north korea. And john bolton says the singapore agreement really has not yielded any progress a all. You said at one point the president could potentially receive the nobel prize. So what to say now . I think we need to be patient. North korea is going to do, going to respond appropriately or they go to the same way of doing business. President trump has no place to kick the can. If he had to as a last resort, he would use military force to stop their nuclear program. And to the iranians, do you want to be next . I appreciate the president withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal. This is a religious theocracy thats dismembering the middle east. To north korea, if you dont think trump will turn on you if you try to play him, watch whats going on in north korea. Martha senator Lindsay Graham, thank you very much. Joining me now, senator jack reed. Thank you for being with us. As we look around the world, what we see is sort of a very Broad Spectrum of tariffs, sanctions that have been leveled against turkey, iran, russia. Also china. You said you felt the tariffs against china were the right move when President Trump put them in place. Now china is pushing back with punitive tariffs against the United States as well. Which some people are concerned could down the road put a dent in the positive gdp growth. Heres the president talking about whats going on with china at bedminster this week. We want china to do well but we want them to treat us fairl. They havent treated us fairly for many decades. Martha where do you think this is heading . I think the president s approach has been just coordinated. He has imposed sanctions on a range of countries. I dont think he has a strategic plan. I think hes essentially just lashing out and when he doesnt get his way, he will invoke more sanctions. Hes got sanctions against our closest allies like the canadians. That doesnt make a lot of sense to me. I think of yet more focused approach to china. If he indicated what he wanted to change specifically, rather than just generically, we will punish you until you stop doing everything youre doing. I think again has to be much more focused. Martha you did say it was a good idea for them to put the sanctions in place and i think a lot of people who look at the trade imbalance, have a similar reaction. Hes not wrong about how the United States has been mistreated. Doesnt require patients at the table . It requires patience but it also requires a consistent plan and cooperation with our trading partners. Rather than going in with a concerted effort, unified effort. Hes created issues among all of our Major Trading partners. As a result, china is able to isolate us and diminish the effect of our sanctions and our policy. The tariffs i think are less critical in terms of chinese tell us and our tariffs. I think the real issue at stake is the way the chinese do not allow our companies to participate fairly in china. To owned companies, to protect their intellectual property. A more focused approach by President Trump would be helpful. Martha thats clearly what the president is going for. Hes talked about it quite a bit in terms of intellectual property. Again, doesnt it require patients in the midst of the dealmaking to wait out the tough part of this because thats a negotiation . Do you think ultimately it will draw them to the table . I think it requires patience, obviously. But i think it also requires a systematic and calculated and calibrated approach. Its been sort of a wild ride with the president in terms of sanctions hes imposed. Its not just with respect to china. I think hed be in a stronger position if you unified trading block. Working with him against china. He doesnt have that. Again the question is in terms of patients, who has the patience . I think the chinese seem to be indicated they will not quickly succumb to these tariffs or these Protection Measures the United States is imposing. It could be a long process and they might have the ability to wait us out. Again, this will show affects on our economy eventually does affect i think will take away from the growth we are seeing. Martha let me switch to iran. Obviously the snapback sanctions are in place. The deal is not something the United States is participating in anymore. As a result of that, we saw fairly aggressive moving up of the timetable for iran to carry out its military exercises that it does over the course of this weak. Your reaction and when you think that situation goes next . First, you are right that they moved up their annual exercises. Theyve conducted a Ballistic Missile exercise in conjunction with those exercises. The one thing they havent done which i think is appropriate and we cannot ever allow is they have not been interfering with the ships going into the straight. After withdrawing from the jc the europeans ar going to Great Lengths to push the blow to the armenians. And then youre in a situation where whats going to happen within tamron. The hardliners will take more power and they will begin to marginalize those people and i think using the term moderate is not particularly accurate. But those much more sensitive to World Opinion will be marginalized and the hardliners will take over. And the iranians have the ability for proxies to interr
