both? they work together, and i so, how? if they do work together, how do we stop it? joining us now is someone who has devoted her professional career to the study of this problem. she is associate professor of northwestern university, author of the seminole book. bring the war home. professor, i really appreciate you taking time to be back with us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> so you can probably tell right there from that wind-up that i am disturbed, i am unnerved at least, by these two parallel tracks, by what we see happening with incredible racial and antisemitic radicalism, thanks for being with us adjacent to politics and the tonight. if you had been the pentagon chief of staff recently, chief kind of mass violence we're of staff to the defense seeing. as an expert and someone who secretary of the united states, if you had been the director of studies these matters, do we see

trade policy at the white house. them as parallel or do they intercept? again, recently you held that >> i don't think we can see they're adjacent. job. if you had been national i think at least the republican security adviser to the president of the united states and recently, not in some past party in so far as it is generation, but within the past represented by donald trump has few years. if you had been the chairman of fully embraced these elements. the intelligence committee in the fact that this speech is not the u.s. house of representatives, again, not a only sort of waved through with long time ago, but recently. a wink and a nod but they are if you had been the attorney general of the united states invited in. recently. if you had had any of those jobs we can see with nick fuentes to in the very recent past, you dinner at mar-a-lago. would think that you would be a the main welcome of the hot ticket, right? you would think that you would candidate. and the one that was the most have options. concerning for me as someone who you would be moving in impressive circles. studies this kind of violence maybe not for the whole rest of was the staging of and the your life. the impact of that high off. content of the press conference announcing the kickoff of this campaign in waco, texas. at least while you were in that many people know about the very high-end government job, branch davidian siege in waco as you would think you could write your own ticket and you would think you would be moving in part of a government

insensibility. to people on the far right, to alas! this week all of those people i just mentioned, literally, the people in neo-nazi group, guy who was the attorney general militant right groups, it is a of the united states and the chief of staff and the national call directly to the chain of security adviser and the white events that leads to the house trade chief, all the rest oklahoma city bombing. of these guys with these very a major act of mass casualty domestic terrorism. it is a direct call to that kind in miami. of violence. an event at a hotel owned by the it is not jut about speech. former president. it will include all those trump it is direct and bloody and it administration officials as well has real tolls like we see in as the foem president's adult allen and buffalo and pittsburgh. as more explore and more of son, eric, the blond one. these communities are impacted, his daughter-in-law plus a lot that toll just grows and grows. of trump administration folks. >> what is the effect, or what they will all be speaking at can we learn from history and that same event alongside, i from previous sort of could not twengs the white power movement will interrupt myself here for a as you've documented it? moment. if you don't particularly want to hear something that is what can we expect to be the rabidly antisemitic or if you effect of the justice department are watching with your kids and you don't want them to hear something like this, this is prosecuting seditious charges against the proud boys and the your chance to mute me for a oath keepers? moment. i'll give you a chance to do i was also struck by reading the

that. okay. court filings, the fbi here it is. affidavits for the 41-year-old >> look what happened under the man who was sentenced today. attacks of 911, all coming out they went out of their way to make sure it was on the record of same group of people that has and part of the description for done a very good job of hiding why he was sentenced the way he under the religion of judaism. was. that he was motivated by rank they use judaism as a cover for what they're really doing. antisemiat this. >> these people are so, so and that idea of a war taken with christians and jews was elusive and slippery and cunning driving his action. how does the legal system and and capable. >> i'm sure they helped engineer their intervention in this, how the takedown of hitler. does that inflekt the future behavior of movements like this? the things that i see, it makes me shake my head. >> so two thing to consider. >> this evil kabul has been what is a responsible and socially appropriate response to causing all the chaos on the acts of violence that target in planet. people will learn a lot about many ways the very nature of world war ii and the nazis. they'll learn hitler is fighting the same people that we're what it is to be an american? trying to take down today. >> hitler was fighting the same they target vulnerable people that we're trying to take communities, people of color, down today. the jews, the evil kabal and all they target jewish community,

the rest of it. they tart story hour at the i can't really believe they're library. going ahead with it. they are targeting institutions media matters, the watch dog and and elections and the sanctity advocacy group, they've been of state houses. reporting on it since february it goes on and on and on like of this year. we started reporting on it in this. march of this year. there has to be a real legal outcome when these things happen. apparently they're going ahead and january 6th was such a with it. stunning event. at the trump hotel in miami, it it is absolutely appropriate to will host an event that features lots of trump administration seek seditious conspiracy officials and trump family charges and get those convictions. however, the flip side is the relatives and also this guy. few people that are facing those that guy you just heard who said hitler was fighting the good charges are only one very small fight. the same fight we're all and usually public-facing part of a ground swell that is broad fighting now. and energized and incredibly you just heard him say he blames jewish people for all the presidential assassinations. angry. a ground swell motivated by the not just like jfk, yes. idea that they are under attack. we see in it their embrace of he blames them for killing jfk but all the way back to lincoln. people who might not have been welcome in this movement a few lincoln, he says, killed by tell years ago. the broader base of people is a jews. also, william m anyone who function of that sense of

emergency. when that is all in place, a threatens their power. it doesn't matter if you're u.s. decisive conviction will also president. they did it to mckinley, they did it to lincoln. have blowback effects. people think it was john wilkes and other acts of violence coming language in its wake. >> i wanted to ask you one more booth. week at the trump property question about this shooter from in miami. he speaks right before trump's allen, texas. he appears to be latino and there is been a lot of acting attorney general of the discussion about the fact that united states. the bald guy there on the left. he's identifying himself as, per right before you get his remarks, you'll get remarks from reporting, essentially with the the guy who said the jews killed neo-nazi movement and advancing lincoln and hitler had all the white supremacist and right enemies and we have to finish the job for him. antisemitic views. as a man who appears to be right before, the second day of latino himself. the conference, the other day of how do you describe that as a the conference, right before dynamic here as someone who studied the white power laura trump, the president's movement? >> it this is relatively new and daughter-in-law, speaks, and the trade chief, right before they it is critical to understand. speak, the attendees at that event will be treated to a this claim, this set of ideas by speech by this other guy who says that the holocaust never happened and it is actual write someone who might be classified the covid vaccine that killed as a latino in many setting,

way more people than this so-called holocaust. it's true not just for allen but many others, including the proud >> the more people have been boys. we don't know yet whether the cured by the jab than killed in gunman was part of proud boys. the ab certainly he was wearing patches than in the holocaust. sold by proud boys. he is also a featured speaker at there is a direct linkage the trump hotel in miami this between something like right week. and lest you think he is being wing death squad. there is a phrase that goes with hyperbolic about the covid vaccine in a joking way the way it about whiteness. they are wont to do, they have so he is the dictator who dealt with his political enemies often had these featured speakers leading up to this event. many of the enemies were they went through the characterized by race. others by throwing them out of eye-burning trouble of looking at what else the speakers at the helicopters over the ocean. trump hotel are bringing to the proud boys were wearing clothes table for this event. and yeah, i don't think he was that said he was right even being linr hyperbolic in his before the last round of presidential debates. long before january 6th. the other thing to understand, account. that is online. those are stars of david on the and this has a long history. foreheads.

you get the point. it's complex. also this one with the jews as people can read more about this. the puppets controlling the ideas about whiteness and what counts as white and who might be media. and this is subtle. under the umbrella of being here he is posting hitler included in naziism are very, speeches. very different from country to literally hitler speeches country. one of the striking thing, exclaiming about how excited he is to have this footage of hitler warning us about the purported in social media, are jews. he has been hired as a featured images of people in the united states would present as latino speaker for the big trump hotel event in miami this week. wearing nazi dress. not just the shooter. alongside all those trump family groups and groups of people members and trump senior wearing nazi uniforms, nazi officials, and alongside the guy who said the jews did 9/11. symbols, and really taking on this ideology as their own. the former president's adult son in latin america, there is often eric has been traveling the country in particular. a lot of trump family members a larger amount of spanish and trump administration officials have been part of this heritage and a smaller amount of thing. but eric trump in particular has been traveling the country doing indigenous or african heritage. versions of this road show with so this is difficult. the outcome is not difficult to these rabid antisemii'ds. understand. the outcome is antiamerican and this week they arrival at

part of the news. you will see what i mean here. today the judge overseeing the hush money criminal case in new york city against donald trump has now banned the former president from posting any evidence from the trial on social media. the judge's new order today also limits trump to viewing any sensitive evidence in the trial only in the presence of his lawyers. he's not allowed to look at it alone. he must have chaperones. meanwhile in the state of georgia, where the fulton county prosecutor is considering possible criminal charges relating to trump's efforts to overturn the last collection, she has told law enforcement in georgia to be ready for, quote, significant public reaction to her anticipated future actions in the case. in georgia, the republican governor of that state has now signed into law a bill that will allow republican legislators in georgia to remove prosecutors

who take actions they don't like. the republican governor signed that bill on friday. the legislators could start using it to remove prosecutors as soon as october of this year. like i said, busy day all in this one sector of the news. this afternoon, writer and journalist e. jean carroll left the manhattan federal courthouse to applause and cheers after closing arguments in her civil lawsuit against the former president. she said trump raped her in new york city in the mid 1990s. she said he then defamed her by calling her accusation a hoax and a lie. during this two-week civil trial, e. jean carroll said on her own behalf, she said i'm here because donald trump raped me. when i wrote about it, he said it didn't happen. he will lied and shattered my reputation and i'm here to try to get my life back. in the end, trump himself chose not to take the witness stand to rebut her, despite telling reporters in ireland that he

would come to new york to confront her in the courtroom. he did no such thing. that means the only trump appearance the jury will have seen is the video from his deposition in the case which lawyers for miss carroll played during closing arguments today. at one point in the questioning, the former president mistook a photo of e. jean carroll for his ex-wife, marla maples, despite that trump has staked his effective defense on that e. jean carroll was not his type. but he she looked enough like his ex-wife that he mistook her for his ex-wife. she said he knows what he did. he knows that he sexually assaulted e. jean carroll. it will go to the jury and they'll begin deliberations tomorrow morning. joining me, my friend, nbc legal analyst, long time colleague on this show. she's been covering the civil

suit. thank you for being here. it is nice to see you under the lights instead of just the office. it's weird. >> weird but wonderful. >> what exactly is the jury going to decide tomorrow? they'll be instructed by the judge. it is a civil case. they're being asked not to find guilt or innocence but rather liability or lack of liability. >> that's correct. and they'll be asked to find if donald trump is liable, to what amount of damages he is liable to e. jean carroll for compensating her for her losses and punitive damages. did he do something so egregious here that it is worth going above and beyond what she lost to send a message to him and to others who might be thinking about this kind of behavior? >> bottom line, in the cold light of day, what is at stake here for trump is a finding by a injure of liability and some money. in terms of the amount of money, i don't know what counts as a meaningful amount of money for donald trump. it is hard to understand someone

in his financial circumstances what that would mean. has there been anything that has happened in the course of the trial of what the potential range might be? >> yes and no. e. jean carroll's lawyers presented a damages expert solely on reputational damages. the woman was a professor of marketing and social media and said to mount a reputation repair campaign would cost between $350,000 and $2.7 million. but that doesn't include the damage to e. jean carroll emotionally. and today, in their closing, her lawyers fwauktd the loss of companionship in her life because of her trauma, she has engaged in avoidant behavior. she doesn't flirt or banter. she closes down emotionally. they compared to it the closing of a bodega that she is not able to have a relationship with a man and therefore they should consider that in damages as well. >> the way they closed, it's not

a defense but it felt like that. i felt like there was some suspense until late in the day whether or not there would be an additional witness. whether or not trump would show up. did it seem today that the case closed today, that trump's own attorneys had two plans. one for if he showed up and one for if he didn't, that they closed the way they had to because they mounted no effective defense. >> i think they never expected him to come and i think they didn't want him to come. joe tacopina today reiterated so many of the same things we saw in the opening. one of those was we don't have to mount a defense. how do you prove a negative? this never happen. he said it never happened. i'll even show you and perpetrates where he says emphatically, this never happened. therefore, we're not putting on a defense. our sole defense is by cross examining their witnesses. we can't prove that something that didn't happen didn't happen zblfl so our whole defense is that it didn't happen regardless of what evidence there is.

>> and poking holes in all the evidence provided by the other side. >> do you think this was an additionally traumatizing event for e. jean carroll, having been in the courthouse this week? an act of remarkable bravery to have brought there case if the accusations were accurate. was this case just as painful as it seemed from the outside? >> look, i'm not a psychologist and i don't have any degrees that would allow me to say if someone is malingering or telling the truth. i believe her story was true. the emotion she showed through the whole trial including the opening when's she looked joe tacopina directly in the face to say, how dare you say this about me while i'm sitting in this courtroom was profoundly affecting. to see her break down even today after closings were over, hug her lawyer in a very emotional moment between the two of them. i think e. jean carroll was partially retraumatized by experiencing this.

(water splashing) hey, dad... hum... what's the ocean like? ♪ are there animals living underwater? ♪ is the ocean warm? yeah, it can be very warm. ♪ you were made to remember some days forever. we were made to help you find the best way there. ♪ spring is here which means that pride season is underway. this was the pride parade in northampton, massachusetts. it is always one of the earliest

of the year. 15,000 people turned out this weekend to celebrate what was the first in-person pride in northampton, massachusetts, since before the pandemic. and a lot of republican-controlled states this year, planning of pride celebrations is turning out to be a legal minefield. the republican state legislators all over the country have been trice to pass antidrag laws, and antitrans legislation. much of it really broad and really vague. organizers around the country are having to censor their plans or cancel plans for pride for running afoul of the new republican drag police. nowhere is this more true than in the great state of tennessee which covered itself in glory by becoming the first state in the nation to enact a ban on drag performances a couple months ago. the ban has been blocked by a federal judge. meanwhile, what the ban has done is it has managed to create a

sort of catalyst for a lot of amazing and otherwise unexpected artistic performances in tennessee. i'll show you what i mean. on the day, for example, that tennessee's republican governor signed the drag performance ban into law, a great alt country band called the vandaleers played one of their shows in tennessee. they did the show with all the dudes in the band wearing dresses. after they made their point by performing in those dresses, they auctioned off the dresses and raised a bunch of money for organizations fighting the antidrag bill in tennessee. a few weeks later, the super star lizzo came to knoxville and brought a possie of drag performers on stage with her. she said some people suggested she cancel her shows in tennessee in response to the new antidrag law. she told the crowd that night, why would i not come to the people who need to hear this message the most? last week, the singer was joined

by drag performers in her show in slashville, defining what she said was a warning from an undercover police officer at the venue that she should not bring those performers on stage. then this weekend the latest one. james mcmurtrey and betty sue who happens to be a friend of mine, two great singer song writers, the two played back to back sets in nashville. and then when they came out to do an encore together, they surprised everybody with the fact that they had backstage changed clothes, as in swapped clothes with betty sue now sporting a dark suit, a nice hat. and james mcmurtrey wearing a red mini dress and pearls. >> hey, tennessee! >> when in tennessee, we will do our little bit for humanity. betty sue and james mcmurtrey.

for all the ridiculousness of trying to ban drag performances, what we were now is all these in their day job, nondrag performers aggressively defying the law, risking arrest if need be, if the courts lift their hold on the law. it is making for some amazing and unexpected american art in the meantime. stay with us. this mother's day, show mom that you worship the ground she walks on. or in this case, stands on. the new anti-fatigue comfortmat from weathertech is a gift she'll appreciate all year round. it makes standing comfortable in the home or office and comes in a variety of colors and finishes. and for mom's vehicle, there's cupfone, floorliner, cargoliner,
