at pittsburgh's tree of life synagogue, which killed 11 jewish worshipers. services were held for husband-and-wife sylvan and bernice simon, and richard gottfried. robert bowers pleaded not guilty thursday. he is charged with 44 counts, including murder and hate crimes -- over 30 of which could be subject to the death penalty. bowers is accused of what has been described as the worst anti-semitic attack in u.s. history. meanwhile, a fundraising campaign launched by two muslim-american groups in the aftermath of the mass shooting has raised over $220,000. the funds are helping families of the victims pay for their funerals. this comes as nbc news is reporting the trump administration is ending a program that provides grants to groups fighting domestic terrorism. the countering violent extremism grant program is run by the department of homeland security and was established during the obama administration. it supports groups fighting hate groups, including white supremacist, anti-semitic, islamaphobic and racist groups. president trump is reportedly planning o

and the pittsburgh massacre, the louisville massacre -- pittsburgh up much more attention -- the pipe bombs threw him off stride. if these atrocities had happened outside of election season, far from an election, it actually would have been a plus for the trump forces and the rightist revolution. because these are the kinds of accent traditionally give energy ic movement.a they push the envelope. they create conditions of chaos that increase the demand for strong leadership. in this case, it was an inconvenience and really annoyed trump. in fact, he was even forced of public opinion and his aides to issue a statement where -- i'm going to look for the exact quote trump gave. he said "ask or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the united states of america." that was trump after the pipe bombs. as any honest officer at the pentagon will tell you, ask or threats of political violence are the core of the american-led world system. anybody who knows politics knows that. and one of the things that trump has done is he is starting to increase the role that those kinds

pittsburgh and to the synagogue as you explain to us a little bit. and then this happened so we can have all of our various theories as to why there is a rising anti-semitism but then how do you deal with a massacre like this. you know you're going to make me cry i was in synagogue last week with my six year old daughter we went on a full lockdown and we interrupted the traditional jewish service by. praying for what was happening. we opened up the book of songs and we went through a number of songs that are in our liturgy that are meant to kind of be there in times of strife and trouble and we weren't allowed to leave synagogue until the police could tell us that we were all safe to go and then you know we kind of learned the horrible truth and then a few days later i was asked because the rabbinic community the jewish community here in pittsburgh it's very small and. there's only so many people who are able to cover for a massive tragedy like this. there are eleven funerals and eleven what are called shivah which is a seven day mourning period and

this is pittsburgh. this is what pittsburgh is. we're one community. and pittsburgh is hurting. and we're here to mourn. this is what pittsburgh is about. it makes pittsburgh a special place. >> are you ever going back into this building? >> yeah. we're going to do whatever is the necessary work. we have to redo the sanctuary. we have to sit and figure out how and what it means and what's the best choice in terms of what to do, sit and spend time and plan properly and we will rebuild in whatever way we need to, and we'll be back. >> seeing the gun bullet holes through the door, through the glass door, that's really chilling. >> it is. it is. i walked through the sanctuary. it is a horror. it is worse than any sci-fi film because it is real, it is not phony hollywood. i never think i'd live to see that horror in my life. because i face anti-semitism before, i faced it growing up as a kid. i never thought i would see the horror of this ever, ever. >> show me here what stands out to you. show me when you come to look at this outpouring of the community. >> the sheer immensity of lo

i love the people from pittsburgh. this white house, though, does see the whole pittsburgh episode beyond the tragedy as a political obstacle, as a curveball that they weren't expecting, that they think has slowed the momentum. but they know this is the office of the presidency, he has to as president engage with something that may not be politically perfect for him in the closing days of the midterm elections. but as we witnessed from this president objectively speaking, he's not someone who in the traditional way of most presidents deals with these kinds of national crises in any sort of orthodox way in terms of empathy in his rhetoric. but they're not trying to also put a square in a circle here. they know he's only capable of doing so much on that front. so they wanted to make sure he got there. but now he's back at his rallies. >> sam, i want to show you a rather remarkable exchange from this interview tonight with jonathan karl over at abc news. we'll discuss it on the other side. >> you remember well in the camp

i lso spent tuesday in pittsburgh when the president was there. i was posing the question to people outside those funerals for those people who were massacred for these people that were murdered. and the majority of people did not want the president there. republicans, democrats. the people they talked to said, we just wan to be able to grieve in peace. he's not a consoler in chihe. not someone who showed empathy in the way president bush and president obama has. he tweeted they showed me a lot of respect. he's going there to show hists resp there were hundreds of protestors. there are people who told me, i don't want to president here. i'm trying to see it in the jewish faith in all the good t thint are happening now. but people -- the environment was that no one wanted president trump there exct the police union chief who said yeah, he's here to pay respects if the officers. environment. toxic robert: when you think about the nrcc. they're not breaking with president trump am what's happening in pittsburgh. but they are raising some questions ab

>> well, hallie, the pittsburgh story just breaks your heart. if there's a part of america where a sense of community, sense of belonging in the jewish community of squirrel hill but also being part of the larger pittsburgh is repeated in the african-american sections of town, italian-american, all different parts of our ethnic quilt, if you will, came together in pittsburgh that in a way always inspired me. i think the acts of the alleged shooter, bowers, in no sense reflect the feelings of people in pittsburgh but what a tragedy for it to happen there, a place where i would say america's different identity groups didn't come together in a hateful way until we saw in this moment what lurks beneath the surface. >> do you think things change, david, as far as the rhetoric, as far as the conversation around extremism in this country? the president, of course, visited pittsburgh earlier this week, along with his wife and his daughter and son-in-law. >> well, i think we're, obviously, looking to understand the motivations of the alleged shooter but

so we all know what happened in pittsburgh. we're robert bowers, a man who was spewing anti-semitic racist invective online. he was using the platform gab to network with other white supremacist. he is accused of going into the tree of life synagogue and kelly 11 worshipers attacking police and so forth. the story that comes out of that , fascinating,rre and disturbing. and this is the story. we have two brothers and washington, d.c. they are part of the white nationalists scene and start at sort of hanging out with richard spencer and that crew. they gravitate more and more and more to the full nazi french. they get involved with vanguard america, which was marching in charlottesville. tied to theroups murder of heather heyer control its fell. and what we know after that, looking through the chat logs of the extreme neo-nazi group atomwaffen division, we know that one of the brothers shows up in those chat logs of somebody who was hanging out with atomwaffen's northern virginia contingent. his online handle shows up in their,

then he became one of the leaders in pittsburgh at the time. everybody loved him because he was down-to-earth and one of the best people you could possibly know. he was a great father and he taught me history. i was good at it. >> what did your mother say to you when you were elected to the u.s. senate? sen. hatch: she was thrilled. she knew i was going to win. nobody thought i was going to win. i had just moved to utah six years before. she knew i was going to win and she believed in me. me and sory proud of was my dad. he would not say it, but i knew he was. they lived in a humble home in utah. it was very humble. everybody loves them. the reason they did is because they were really good people. not very well educated, but worked their education at themselves and very, very good people. >> when you think back on your time here, what do you think your legacy will be? i think i have passed over 800 bills. most of them are very important bills. nobody has ever done that before. i am not bragging, i am just saying i worked my but off every day i

he went to pittsburgh to pay his respects after the synagogue slaughter. the mayor did ask him to wait because the police coverage. but the coverage was the president brings out more division in the grieving city. >> the coverage was very little about the people who did want them there and did appreciate them there. the entire story was trump visits pittsburgh even though no one wants them there. that's how twisted and backwards is of the coverage of the president. the end. you played was interesting but i wouldn't be here if i didn't do this. i would have to agree with him. people have long blamed republican candidates. pushing against the media with long favored democratic candidates. president trump pushed him hard and thinks that's what got him into the white house. >>howard: then he says this coverage - - [indiscernible]. let me play for you, we talked about "washington post" headline in the wake of the arrest of the serial pipe bomber. here's the president pushing back on that. >> bernie sanders had afan who shot a very good friend of ours , steve sc

i just want to turn briefly before i let you go to the tragic shooting outside of pittsburgh one week ago today. our hearts are with the victims of course and they, i assume, could care less about politics right now but the president at a rally this week was lamenting how the shooting, quote, stopped a tremendous momentum for republicans. what are you thoughts on that? >> well, the president should never have tried to talk about the politics of the shooting. this is just simply so devastating. by the way, my community of allentown, 1500 people showed up for a vigil. people are really taking this hard throughout the commonwealth. but now the president shouldn't talk about the politics of this. again, completely unhelpful. in fact, the bigger concern i have is that the president's continuing messaging on these nativist, protectionist impulses of his i think are unhealthy for the country and do bring out the worst in us at times. not saying that's what caused the shootings or blame him at all, of course, but he's got to speak as a leader or unifier of the nation. that's the job of the pr

last week what we saw in pittsburgh last week what we saw in pittsburgh last week what we are talking about is the americans hunkering down and not wanting to engage with the world. president trump understands this and this is why he released this 53 second video a full as attack dog whistle messages. the big challenge is that the democrats. how do they respond to this anti immigrant message. this is a nation founded on immigration, founded on blood as well, and the only indigenous people are the native americans. the democrats at the moment not have announced the. no, they don't seem to. but talk about this story in the guardian that is also on a lot of other front pages across the uk press. this is aaron banks. this businessman who heavily backed leaves campaign and we are talking about potential interference in the uk democratic race that. that is a mild way to describe it. this could be high crime and misdemeanour. the electoral commission was investigating the source of £8 million worth of funds that he said came from his own back pocket. but it is concerned and it has referred
