Thing. The nfl players are at it again taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players wanted to show outrage something most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love. That was friday. They know exactly why theyre taking a knee. Colin kaepernick hasnt worked since hes been Black Baballed the nfl. It would do the country a Great Service one if he would stop tweeting about that and two truly find out what the players are protesting and again, the last part of that tweet, be happy, be cool. A Football Game that fans are paying so much money to watch and enjoy is no place to protest. You can read the rest of that yourself, but i want to make one thing clear. I dont know if many people realize or understand. When Colin Kaepernick started protesting at the nfl games, he originally sat on the bench out. Sat out the National Anthem until another then nfl player
who was also a veteran wrote an open letter to him. He and Colin Kaepernick met and it was because of that meeting with that veteran that Colin Kaepernick learn thad ted that the members of the Armed Forces Honor their fallen brothers and sisters is to take a knee. That is why Colin Kaepernick is taking a knee. Something the president either doesnt know or doesnt care to understand. Joining me anyway is tim wise, author of white like me. Care. New documentary stone ghost, a journey through the confederate south to charlottesville to selma. Let me fete your general impression of ten tweets that ten racist statements from the president which i must say are all the statements made since charlottesville and are only some of the things attributed to
the president. Thats literally the tip of the iceberg in an over 40 year process of doing or saying racist things on the part of this man. Youve clearly demonstrated the recede. For people to continue denying this man is either himself a racist or at the very least is happy to empower racist is absurd. Member, barack obama was called racist by right wing Talk Show Host for having a tax on tanning salon visits. Arrest professor gates. That was evidence he hated white people. The very same folks who will talk about taxes on tanning beds will look at all of those things you said and say, well, im not really sure if hes racist. The reality is whether he in his heart is a david duke level racist or white spremi isspremi
the point. When you spend more time condemning blackball players taking a knee than you spend condemning nazis gathering outside your house tomorrow, you are either a white spremist or someone incredible comfortable with the presence of White Nationalist on your doorstep. Tells us a lot about you. Since you are in washington, let me have you jump off what tim was just saying, the socalled Unite The Right rally going to be happening tomorrow in washington within a stones throw of the white house. The president isnt there. He has tweeted about charlottesville. He tweeted moments ago the riots in charlottesville result instead senseless death and division. Come together as a nation and condemn all types of racism and acts of violence. Peace to all americans. I want to go back to a tweet that you mentioned jonathan just now from 24 hours ago on the eve Of Charlottesville. That tweet where he attacks nfl players. The thing about that tweet is if you really dig into it and look at when hes saying, be cool. Youre being paid a lot of money to do this. It is what it tells me is that he sees black athletes in general as entertainers. Not as american citizens. Not as, hey, these are people who are american citizens who really care about what is going on what racial inequality in this country. That is what theyre talking about. What does he do . He says be quiet and play. Youre getting paid a lot of money to do that. That is the problem with the president. Not just entertainers and black
players. It is also black figures just in general. He uses it by saying things like attacking iqs. Attacking what is it that youre upset about. You have everything that you can possibly need. And the last thing ill say on this point, jonathan, is that this week we remembered the birthdays of michael brown, who would have been 22 years old this week. And also Stephen Clark who would have been 24 years old this week. Both killed by police officers. And never have gotten their families havent gotten any type of, you know, satisfaction or anything for their deaths. And this is what nfl players, black players, black people who are speaking up against this racial inquality are talking about. Their lives. Lets keep in mind, it was the death of Philandro Kas Fee owe in minnesota thin minnesota
the statute. I wanted to go down and see what the connection was about. We knew it was about more than just a monument. I went to virginia and kentucky and alabama and mississippi and spent time with the descendents of veterans and what these idols, these monuments mean to them, but on the other side black folks that have to walk in the shadows of the statutes. Talk about complicated disturbing history. How it resinates today. Theyll give you every other reason besides slavery for The Civil War. Talk about the pinpoints of the lost cause. It wasnt about slavery. Slaves were kind of happy. About defending virtue of this antebellum south. Theres a lot of mythology and romance. Every turn, people are engulf instead this sense of history. Heather hieyer i have to go to
old Car Dealership to get it repaired. Since you mentioned the number of confederate monuments that are there. We have graphic today more than 1700 confederate monuments that remain in Public Spaces since charlottesville, 113 of those confederate symbols have been renamed or removed across the United States. I want to since you brought up heather heyer. Her mother, susan, understandably has been more public this week because its the anniversary Of Charlottesville. She gave an interview to msnbc on friday. Lets take a look at that. Can you talk at all whether the president has helped or hurt since charlottesville. I personally couldnt say one way or the other. I can tell you what dade duke and Richard Spencer and matthew
have said. The Current Administration has given them the go ahead. Given them a thumbs up. Given them a wink and nod. Thats their words. Not mine. Tim, i mean, isnt that the issue here . I mean, i spent the opening five minutes of this show flat out calling the president a racist, but there are people who were using his using of the presidency to be open about their bigotry. This is the thing. If donald trump were a Remotedly Decedent Human Being and felt as though he were being misunderstood by david duke, misunderstood by Richard Spencer. What he would do is go before the American People and go, oh, im so sorry. This is not what i mean at all. And i absolutely reject every aspect of what youre saying, but the reality is he is slowly at the public rhetoric around immigration and crime and the
very issues neo nazis have been talking about for years, hes capping their rhetoric. Thats why they feel emboldened. Not only is he not condemning them and saying oh, my god you totally are misunderstanding me. Let me clarify. Hes giving them aide and comfort. And, you know, i much prefer. Its funny. Heres a guy whose motto was make America Great again. America was never great for people of color. One of the things that made us A Little Greater was one upon a time a few generations back, we knew how to deal with nazis. We didnt say there were some fine people among them. We realize ds they gd they got. In this era, we forgotten that wisdom. If make America Means lets get back to a time when we did not coddle nazis. Lets go back to nostalgic time of white male domination. That is what they are talking about. That is what the president is playing too and thats what is so incredibly dangerous in this moment of our history. Welcome to the show. Shawn sekulow and mayor rudy giuliani. How about that. Giuliani and sekulow. For purposes of right now, my colleague and cocounsel in a case involving all russia inquiry that were engaged in. The may have red something about it. Also going to be taking your calls. Theyre lawyers. Didnt have routine Guest Appearance on a radio show. Instead for three hours, the members of legal team guest hosted sean hannity Syndicated Radio Show giving them unfettered access to spout off opinion while slamming special Counsel Robert Mueller russia investigation. I think if i were the
attorney general, i would appoint an independent counsel. Two purposes, to appropriately p prosecute the people who violated these laws. Comey clearly leaked a document that he wasnt supposed to leak. If you look at scope and nature of the inquiry t way it started. The corruption at the outset. Looks like ill legitimate investigation. Said this a long time back. Its a witch hunt. I want to play one more sound bite from the tour defours that was sekulow, giuliani. I think what we have to get clear is a lot of people are telling it this way. If hes telling the truth, just go in and testify. Welcome to the real world. The fact is he is telling the
truth. Theyre walking him in a possible perjury trap. Not because he isnt telling the truth, but because somebody else isnt telling the truth who they would credit. Namely comey. Paul, im not a lawyer, but if someone isnt telling the truth well, i mean, comey is the one who is under oath having said something. Wouldnt comey be somebody who would be liable or subject to perjury if he didnt Tell The Truth . Of course and no problem youre not a lawyer. Rudy giuliani the not an effective lawyer. Hes a hype man. Entertainer, and doesnt understand basic things about how perjury works. How his client has the obligation to Tell The Truth. He did you want think trump is capable of going into a grand
jury. Thats why all the hype. The great congressman former congressman from michigan john dingle had one of the best twitter feeds on twitter. He had a tweet yesterday quote. Its only a Prerjury Trap if youre a dam liar. As many people said, your clients inability to Tell The Truth does not make it at perjury trap. Thats your clients problem. Another thing going on i want people to understand. Giuliani, sekulow, most of Trump Supporters want to elevate him to the point hes above the law. If he was simply, if donald trump simply acted like a normal
american citizen, then we have normal american laws that can protect him. If hes afraid he goes into a situation and incriminate himself, we have a law for that. Its called the fifth amendment. He can say i have a right against Self Incrimination and this part of the this part is done. Why cant he do that. Why cant he subject himself to the laws that protect us and him. Thats a rhetorical question, right . I think we know why. I do not know why taking the fifth is off the table for him. I get in a normal political world. In a normal presidency, we know that a president taking the fifth, that is like a Political Nuclear bomb for a presidency, but not this guy. This hasnt been normal since Access Hollywood. If Access Hollywood isnt going
to stop him and good people on both sides arent going to stop him, i dont see how the fifth stops him in any way. Its a legitimate legal strategy as opposed to whatever the Heck Giuliani and sekulow are doing right now. What they are doing, they are lawyers, but theyre playing tv lawyers because this is they are playing in the court of public opinion. We talked about this a lot. All the time that they probably view what is this is going to end up in congress and some sort of kbuchimpeachment process whi a pretty process. Theyve always been communicating to everyone what they say the president will or wont do. One of those things is talking about the Interview Topics that President Trump would allow himself to be asked about. So associates contact with russia. Possibly coordination with Trumps Campaign and election
interference. These arent the things they want to talk about. These are the things they dont want to talk about. Obstruction of justice, thats the whole special counsel investigation. Yes, that and collusion, the National Security issue, but look. President trump is never, ever going to sit in a room with a grand jury and bob mueller and answer questions. It aint going to happen. Mueller is being played by giuliani thinks thats what he is doing. The thing is, President Trump really needs a lawyer at this point. We see him running scared. Hes issued 400 tweets about mueller and the russian investigation. So some of his real lawyers are apparently talking to mueller as lawyers do about the status of the investigation about what might happen. And trump seems to think something is coming. We have this indictment of the russians for hacking. And then it looks like next down the line is roger stone who was the go between the russians and the Trump Campaign. The third, the next act. It looks like it might be somebody really high up in the Trump Campaign. We should point out the trump has already tweeted twice this morning about the investigation.
