but the charlottesville disaster had a political base. too many politicians are more than happy to cave in to the demands of a small but howling class, knowing that the courts shielded from political jargon will save them from the consequences of a bad decision. in recent elections, candidates from governor to city management followed one of the oldest boys -- ployys. they demanded something that was already happening or was going to happen so as to take credit for it when it did occur. cynical, blatantly hypocritical -- this is american politics at work. all about noise and all of those demonstrations by the displeased in charlottesville fortunately came to not -- naught. rejected appeals for statue removal. nevertheless, in january of this year, the state delegate from charlottesville introduced, in the general assembly, a bill that would junk a half dozen -- on, it is an 1904 earlier statutes and allow local communities to decide the fate of historical monuments. subcommittees in both house and senate killed the measure at the first re

is facing criticism over her recent comments about last year's deadly white nationalist protests in charlottesville. >> it's not that one side is right and one side is wrong. anyone that is advocating violence, we need to mitigate. amy: we will speak to kathleen belew, author of "bring the war home: the whwhite power movement and paramilitary america." all that and more coming up. welcome to democracy now, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. president trump's national security adviser john bolton has reiterated trump's threats to iran, only one day after trump tweeted, "to iranian president hassan rouhani: never, ever threaten the united states again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before." on monday, bolton doubled down, saying, "president trump told me that if iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid before." alalso on monday, trump sasaid e was not concerned about prprovoking iran. >> not at all. not at all. amy: to see our coverage of the trump administ

this is the foreign policy equivalence of charlottesville. it tells us how far outside the boundaries of what had been acceptable or imaginable behavior of a president and how unwilling republicans are to hold him to account. >> ron, since the charlottesville statement, the president held on to a high popularity rating, at least within the republican party. yet, the condemnation from republicans, matt lewis, to what we heard yesterday next to putin w was swift and broad. as the president goes to capitol hill, i wonder if you think anything changes in the wake of an editorial that says he was weak and a national embarrassment. does anything change? what do republican lawmakers say to his face today? >> it's so weird. it's such an unusual time. my disappointment is really not so much with trump. he is who i always thought he was. i'm disappointed that we elected somebody who would say this, who would go and stand next to vladimir putin and blame america first. i'm disappointed that the party of ronald reagan has made this the standard bearer. i

it stands on a delicate charlottesville in western virginia the house of his wishes in which he did indeed end his days monte chalo the dream of a lifetime a concrete utopia. he spent half a lifetime building and rebuilding the house his aim was to create a neoclassical work of art which would lead to a revolution amongst what he called the michigan piles of colonial architecture and he went further he wanted his architectural revolution to parallel the political revolution he set off with his declaration of independence he saw it as a symbol of liberty and self-determination. wanted chalo thus became an image of the aesthetic and political ideals of thomas jefferson one of the founding fathers of the young republic and thought president of the united states a man of many talents jefferson was also an architect philosopher man of letters astronomer physicist inventor and farmer just to mention some of his interests. whether i retired to bed early or late i rise with the sun. a carefully planned daily routine helps jefferson to organize the varied life he led at monticello. it was here that

that was the upshot of my reporting and the comparison to charlottesville which came up in my reporting was so fascinateling. the two events share similarities of a year ago now at the very beginning of white house chief of staff john kelly's tenure and share similarities in terms of a real gaffe by the president or some people would argue intentional statement and followed by attempted cleanup that didn't convince anybody and left people thinking that what the president had initially said first about both sides being culpable for the rally in charlottesville and then about undermining american intelligence assessments at the press conference monday is what he intended to say and that the cleanup sort of half hearted and mushy and i think the president inviting vladimir putin to a summit at the white house at some point in the fall, that really was the exclamation point on the week that sort of left people inside the white house scratching their heads. and so i think we're starting to see a theme with this president that does have advisers inside the white house. you know, feeling despo

>> i was asking her, as we approach august, the year anniversary of charlottesville. i asked whether the president's sort of tone on this, his saying there's blame on both sides, whether that made it tougher for her to do her job. effectively she said it's not that one's right or one's wrong, all that violence isn't good. there wasn't like a condemnation of white nationalism and white supremacy that i think a lot of people would want to hear from the secretary of homeland security on this issue. you heard her in their own words, they were striking to me and i think striking to a lot of people in the room, that perhaps she couldn't be more firm on that topic. obviously we've witnessed the president use the language, but the idea that a lot of members of that community believe the president is giving them a green light, this would have been a chance to hit it out of the bark and say we condemn that. and she didn't do that. >> peter alexander, thanks so much. >> good luck tonight. >> thanks for bringing it to us, live, fresh off the griddle. thank you. >>> coming up, beh

sort of like charlottesville in that way. i kind of anticipate at some point in the next few days that there will be a statement from the president. >> but the moment matters more than the cleanup. the optics after charlottesville when the whole country is watching, standing next to vladimir putin when the whole world is watching. we'll continue the conversation. >>> up next, the president's usual defenders, mostly missing in action after the helsinki summit. [music playing] across the country, we walk. carrying flowers that signify why we want to end alzheimer's disease. but what if, one day, there was a white flower for alzheimer's first survivor? what if there were millions of them? join us for the alzheimer's association walk to end alzheimer's. register today at alz.org/walk. gimme one minute... and i'll tell you some important things to know about medicare. first, it doesn't pay for everything. say this pizza is your part b medical expenses. this much - about 80% - medicare will pay for. what's left is on you. that's wh

he was visiting me in charlottesville and went to dinner with a few friends. we were talking through some stuff, and we came back to my house and we're talking some more and my friend allison was in the room and my wife was in the room. he started asking, we started going back to what happened in the election cookie said so i just don't understand how trump could have snuck up and one wisconsin and michigan, almost minnesota, florida without running tv ads. all the stories right up to election was he wasn't spending any money. he wasn't really campaigning. what the heck happened? how did he window states? i said facebook him he put all his money and facebook and it doesn't take much money. the advertising system on facebook is so efficient and precise. it allows you to carefully target segments of the knee group of consumers, a group of voters, a group of nonvoters, and you can target them and experiment with typical messages. so you can try out on 100 voters in dufault county in florida who might be really animated by gun rights but at have struggled bt for d

the events formed with an event very much like what happened in charlottesville last august. 11979 in greensboro, north carolina, united group of neo-nazi and clan gunmen under the name the united racist front opened fire on the comments anti-klan rally and killed five people. that's i got to this book. greensboro held a truth and reconciliation commission in 2005 and over and over again klansmen and neo-nazi showed up to tell their stories and what to get sink was i i killed communist in vietnam. why wouldn't i kill common is here? to meet this is a profound statement. it reflects a of combat at home front, hometown and peacetime, enemies foreign and domestic. as i begin to look at the movement, , the idea turned outo be essentials critical thing, the vietnam war indeed work as the glue that held together activists with otherwise different beliefs. it was the thing that shaped in and find their violence and the narrative that they used to make sense of their world. it led me to realize despite misconceptions to the contrary, white power was a social movement united men, women, and ch

and he made the same mistake here that he made on charlottesville. there he created the moral equivalency between the white supremacists. >> here the mistake is on a global scale involving a nuclear anniversary, involving -- >> cyber warfare. >> attacks on america. the list goes on and on. >> it has bigger and graver implications here because of the global quality of it, and so many people around the world depend on the relationship. >> admiral kirby, it's so interesting. helsinki was clearly picked because both leaders wanted this to be a momentous occasion, even though there was really no agenda, even though there was no presigned deal. president trump is now paying the price for that because the echo of what has happened here in helsinki in past summits with past leaders. >> right. >> it stands in stark contrast to what we saw today. the president trump wanted to be compared to other american presidents who had been here before. >> right. >> that comparison does not -- he doesn't come out well in that one. >> no, exactly, anderson, for two reasons

this is not the same as charlottesville. christine, charlottesville, at every other time we've looked at the president do something over the line, you could draw it to, well, this serves his base. this helps him with voters. what he did yesterday does not serve one -- no part of president's base. show me anyone at a trump rally who's going, bring it on, putin, you're my boy. only trump. >> it's clear. it's clear. as twisted, as horrible as it is, you could draw those lines at charlottesville. >> but now you cannot. >> no, unless -- and this goes to the core of the president. this is just about him. look at the answer putin gave to the question do you have anything on president trump or his family. he -- trump says he answered it and said no, he did not say no. he had the perfectly timed grimace and snicker, and then began speaking about how he didn't even know trump was in the country when he was a businessman. which is actually factually incorrect. because he was not able to meet with trump when he was there from his -- and

some in charlottesville. if you plan to exercise outside, do it this morning. we're going to be mainly cloudy. through theafternoon, more rain moves in and still under that flash flood watch. chuck has the details and when iwill finally come to at n now.4:46 right our weather alert continues this morning. it's all about the rain again. it may already be raining where you are. but either way,ee you'll beg more of it today. >> most of us will be seeing the worst of it around lunchtime. this is on top of all the rain that we've already had. flooding again aeeig concern. a and chuck are working for you and will be back with a full forecast, including when we're going to see sun again and dry skies. that's in just a few minutes. >>> some new video this morning showing the emotional reunion of anndocumented ecuadorian father detained for more than a mont you may remember the story of pabloville la vincennes yoe. he was delivering pizza to the base on june 1st.ju a federae ordered his immediate release. the judge ruled the father of two young daughters has been a mode

we saw that pain last year ink charlottesville. been there done that and have the scar tissue. we need people who work for all. >> i want to remind everybody applause takes time away. i know you want to applaud for your candidate but that takes time away from their opportunity to speak the first question goes to senator kane. with the economy 2016 you said a trump presidency would be a disaster but in a year and a half the country has addeded over 3 million jobs the unemployment rate has, fallen 4%, corporate profits are soaring the virginia economy is booming what would you do differently or raise taxes? >> it was strong before president trump came to office with the longest expansion in private sector job growth. and yes he will continue to be strong i would not engage in the foolish trade where the president is engaging in i travel around virginia these tariffs that the president is imposing and they will gain in certain sectors. and one week ago in halifax county they were complaining about the effects on their soybeans with the auto plant they were complaining about the co

you've talked about it on your show, others have made the comparison to charlottesville, as this being a real missed opportunity for the president. i think one difference, one small difference is that this white house seems to be on the same page in urging president trump to walk this back and to make some kind of statement immediately, trying to undo what he did in helsinki. that was a little different from what we saw right after charlottesville, there were a lot of mixed opinions in the white house. this time everyone was telling him there was a real coalescing of opinions inside the white house that he needed to take care of this immediately. >> i think we need to remind folks, everybody pay attention, especially you, matt, i'll come to you, it's not the first time president trump has botched damage control after the unthinkable comment and the horrific events in charlottesville that michael just mentioned. watch this. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence, on many sides, on many sides. >> a few days later walked it ba

it sort of reminds me of the reaction to charlottesville. even newt gingrich, blowhoa, wh he needs to clarify this. he's criticized by the media, he's criticize by a subset of republicans that are comfortable criticizing him. but trump feels confidence that he can weather the storm. his job approval numbers don't move that much. i think the different here is because you saw so many folks from capitol hill saying this is wrong. that's why you got the hostage tape from yesterday. because this is different. it's not just about being reckless or being offensive or saying something, misspeaking, not speaking like a politics, this is about weakness. and donald trump a core brand attribute of his is, i am strong, i will be strong for america. strong is nature what we got in helsinki, that's why you saw more republicans bleepi s blee. and that's why he could go to the hill and say give me cover to go into the office and say you need to walk this back. >>> still to go, president trump once blamed a faulty ear piece for not disavowing criticism of dav

but has been a central piece of the life in charlottesville. everyone knows julia through her activities, she's done a fantastic job. again, the best bookstore in town. it will remain store with your loyalty. thank you. i'll be happy to talk to if you have questions. [applause] >> what did i get wrong? >> on your second point about the words on facebook, facebook if they choose to change the algorithms? it's something they control, right? >> facebook is doing something to adjust the advertising system in the united states before the election. they are requiring anybody who posts an ad that has any indication of having political content, like having some keywords from abortion to face to the economy, if you post an ad and have any of those words you will be flagged by facebook and asked to submit proof that you live in the united states. now, once that is screened in clear, they will run your ad. they also want to take a copy of that ad and keep it in an archive so in the future people can examine what that ad was about. but, if you are working

>> let's say about charlottesville. we did respond and the rnc passed a resolution condemning the events in charlottesville. chuck schumer was late to the day against maxine waters. they have to do it over and over again. they have to be vocal and out front of it. it will take democrats and republicans. if this happened to a democrat, i'll be out there doing this, too. this is not good for our democracy. we can have a difference of opinion and be respectful of people in their homes and families. otherwise, how can we get good people to run for office? this cannot be the new norm. it's dangerous and it will escalate. it will take democrat leadership to stop this and i don't see them rallying for people to deescalate this type of behavior. >> neil: back to the president's supreme court pick that he will announce later on tonight. he's made that decision. by the way, do you know what it is? >> i don't. i don't. i don't want to know. i want the surprise. >> neil: already the democrats have stated this is a lopsided thing. w

>> this is different. >> it is worse what happens in charlottesville. apples and oranges. >> two separate situations. >> they really are not. >> we'll go to break. the democratic party officially endorses socialism, the video up next. ♪ copd makes it hard to breathe. so to breathe better, i go with anoro. ♪ go your own way copd tries to say, "go this way." i say, "i'll go my own way, with anoro." ♪ go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma. it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. the risk is unknown in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, prostate, bladder, or urinary problems. these may worsen with anoro. call your doctor if you have worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision c

we saw the pain of division last year in charlottesville. been there, done that, got the scar tissue. virginia does not want to go back. we have to have solutions that work for all. ms. woodruff: thank you, senator kaine. [applause] i want to remind everybody, the applause takes time away. i know you want to applaud for your candidate, but it takes time away from their opportunity to speak. first question goes to senator kaine. let's start with the economy. in 2016, you said a trump presidency would be a disaster for the u.s. economy, but in a year and a half, the country has added over 3 million jobs, unemployment rate has fallen 4%, corporate profits are soaring, the virginia economy is booming. what would you do differently? would you raise taxes? sen. kaine: the virginia economy was strong before president trump came into office. the virginia economy was strong. yes, the economy has continued to be strong but there are warning signs. for one, i would not engage in foolish trade wars like this president is engaging in, which is ultimately

or with regard to the protesting in charlottesville absolutely can really how can with the latest from the white house thank you. google says it will appeal a record five billion dollars fine handed down by the european union the e.u. has been investigating contracts with phone manufacturers which forced them to pre-install google services on android devices it says that google used android as a vehicle to cement its dominance over all of its search engine the find represents just two weeks worth of revenue for google's parent company that has more now from paris. a record five billion dollar fine was imposed by the european union on to the tech giant google for what it said was unfairly cornering the mobile phone market the european commission ruled that google had killed off the competition by forcing phone manufacturers to adopt its services to use them such as the web search chrome and maps as well as other services while it also accused the tech giant of using incentives as a way of forcing these phone manufacturers to use just their own services but this is not the first time tha

the other revealing thing, the limits, as in charlottesville, willingness of republicans to confront him over behavior unlike any other president. bob corker who was quite critical yesterday, he sits in the same chairman as william full bright did, chair of senate foreign relations committee in 1966, held landmark hearings on vietnam that changed the debate over the war, over strenuous objections of a president from his own party who deeply didn't want him to do it and yet he did. bob corker can complain, but the fact is that he is not and none of the other republicans that complained are moving to hold hearings, summon people involved in the summit to give testimony about exactly what was agreed to, what the planning was. there are things they can do other than carp. but to do that without consequence is to send a message to president trump that in the end they will back down. >> do you think this could be a turning point or are we back to charlottesville last year when he said very fine people on both sides. >> so many events are happening so fast, wolf, it was a week ago we talked

what do you -- i just wonder where we go from here, because to a lot of people charlottesville was it. i mean, you tweeted, i think you said is this what our country is, make america great again? i think that was for everybody like all right, that's enough. i can't believe this. >> absolutely. i mean, we all felt that. it didn't matter what color you are to feel that tension, to feel like our great country, you know, that we all wake up every day in the land of the free as we believe with great opportunity to be even more than what people even expect you to become for that to happen, you just felt like that was -- that was kind of the tipping point. >> will you -- i guess maybe you were surprised. maybe you weren't. the whole n-word incident at your house when it was painted? >> i don't know if i was surprised. i don't know if i was hurt. i don't know if i was disappointed. it was so many different emotions. more importantly, it was the conversation that i had to have with my boys that it was -- that hurt me. but at the same time it also enlightened me and also knew that no matter as

. >> cooper: it's hard to forget the violence that broke out in charlottesville, virginia last august, when hundreds of white supremacists showed up to protest the proposed removal of a statue of general robert e. lee, a confederate hero of the civil war. what happened that weekend reignited a national debate about what to do with some 700 other confederate monuments in towns and cities across the country, mostly in the south. earlier this year, we took a closer look at these monuments, and were surprised to learn not just when they were built and why, but who wants to tear them down, and who doesn't. we began in new orleans, where the culmination of then-mayor mitch landrieu's crusade to remove four confederate monuments looked more like a military operation than a construction job. when the city of new orleans removed a giant statue of p.g.t. beauregard, a confederate general who ordered the first shots fired in the civil war, they did it in the dead of night. construction crews wore bulletproof helmets and vests, and police snipers were stationed on rooftops nearby. mitch landrieu

you know eleven months ago donald trump said that during the charlottesville protests there were good people on both sides one of those sides will white supremacists and neo nazis and republicans were just as outraged then as was america as they are now and they did nothing and this is going to be the same thing what we should do is stand up to president trump and send a clear message that it's bipartisan from the congress and the only way they really can they can hold hearings they can't impose more sanctions they can't set up their own foreign policy because that violates the logan act but they can censure donald trump which is a formal admonition of one of the most severe forms for the behavior and conduct of the president how do they do that i mean you know just reading some of the president's tweets right now he doesn't seem to be fazed by any of this criticism he seems to think that he can weather this storm as well you know what what action should politicians take that will resonate with the president. well it would have to be the century and the president is counting on the fa

with the construction of the university and charlottesville jefferson in a sense completed the declaration of independence which accords to every citizen the right to pursue happiness but for jefferson the pursuit of happiness could not be successful without education only with education could the individual ascend to a higher level of knowledge. the university of virginia is more closely linked with its founder than any other american university jefferson was not only the architect he also wrote the curriculum and set up the library which used to be housed here in the rotunda. jefferson can truly be called the father of the university and he kept a careful watch over the growth of his child if he couldn't go to the site personally he observed the progress of the work from one to cello through a telescope. all my wishes and where i hope my days will end at monticello. on the fourth of july eighteenth twenty six thomas jefferson ended his days at monta chalo his will demonstrates that for him the foundation of the university was more important than the office of president. on his tombstone

i used to live in charlesville so you know -- charlottesville, so you know all about this. well, sir, the monument of fur or seems to have spited a bit but every time we think it does some city is facing a new crisis over some new monument. all i want to say about that -- you can't hear me? how about now? okay. all i want to say about monuments is that we need to remember that we wouldn't even be talking about monuments and symbols to speak of at all were it not for the massacre in the black church in charleston. it was that event june 16, i believe it was, of 2015, that launched this first local, then national ongoing discussion and then royaling debate over the meaning of things confederate and the tradition of the laws caused it. but even before that, we had all kinds of police shootings and violence and so forth which had us discussing as a society, you know, even before the 2016 election, it had us discussing are we living once again in one of our on again off again racial rec nine -- reckoning and we were again asking, why are we doing this again. didn't we elect obam

. >> i thought charlottesville was different. so, you know, the question is -- >> charlottesville was different in its own way, but that was different. that was different too in its own way, but this was on a world stage, and it didn't -- >> well -- >> this is the difference because i covered all these things, governor, and i understand their impact acutely and also in a macro sense of how they played out and didn't over time. but never involving an enimcal country. we've never seen anything like this where a u.s. president sided with an enemy against his own people. >> i'm just -- look, at the g7, he thought maybe we should add russia. he said that in the crimea, those people speak russian. what i'm trying to say to you is if people don't stand up all the way through, if the voices are not strong all the way through -- >> mm-hmm. >> -- is it really shocking that something like this would happen? >> so what do you do now? >> what do you do now that the republicans in the congress -- some of them have stood up. they need to do mor

you used to live in charlottesville. you know about this. fuhrer seemedment seems tonument furor have subsided. -- i want to say about that you can't hear all the way over there? ok. how about now? ok. all i will say about monuments is that we need to remember that we wouldn't even be talking about monuments and symbols to speak of at all words not for in charleston. 2015 thatt event of launched this first local the andonal ongoing discussion roiling debate over the meaning of things confederate. of that matter, the story the lost cause, the tradition of the lost cause. even before that, we had all kinds of police shootings and violence and so forth which had evenscussing as a society before the 2016 election, it had us discussing are we living once again in one of our on-again/off-again racial reckonings? we were again asking why are we doing this again? didn't we elect obama, etc., etc., etc., only to discover that historians like to think that they know, but we get surprised like everybody else. history is never over. it is not going to a

after charlottesville, you said his presidency is over. clearly, that didn't happen, if you think this is so bad, do you think it will have any impact? >> i am sobered by my own miscalculation. it's the one time as i look back that i made a pretty significant prediction that turned out to be wrong, and it was quite wrong. what i underestimated how te nature -- tenaciously he would hold on to this office. i do believe that mueller will have far more evidence of wrong doing, of criminal behavior, than any of us imagine. and that one of the things that trump is responding to right now so aggressively is his fear that he is on the verge of being caught. >> tony schwartz, thank you so much for being here. >>> thank you for our international viewers for watching, for u.s. viewers, "new day" will continue now. >> it could have been other people also. a lot of people out there. what you saw was an attempt to get it right, but he blew it. >> we all misspeak from time to time. >> this is a man who has made a deal with the devil. >> the antics from t

the new york times is reporting it as a foreign policy equivalent of charlottesville, where donald trumps said there were good people on both sides, referring to white nationalists who clashed with protesters who were protesting white nationalists, and they are saying it is the same thing where it's a breach of a norm, something a us president should never do is say there is false equivalence between progressive protesters and nationalists or say that he believes a russian president over his own intelligence and it has been shocking, and so is what he didn't say, he didn't refer to the robert mueller charges against 12 russian spies charged with interfering in the election, word talk to putin about crimea, which was annexed by russia. he didn't talk with him about syria and he didn't mention the poisoning and killing of a british citizen on british soiljust a few weeks ago, so as far as we can tell there are a lot of things he was silent on which are almost as damning. let's move on to the telegraph, which has a picture of the two president shaking hands and the two president shaking hand
