Edition of politics nation growing hope, live from the sweet auburn festival in downtown atlanta. Well look at ways we can all give back to our communities and improve the lives of people around us. We hope to see you there. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton, hardball starts right now. A tail of dark sposs. Lets play hardball. Good evening. Lets start with the right wing efforts to scare off people with benghazi and scare off minorities who might vote democrat without outright voter suppression. This is aimed at the elections this november, obviously. One, drive up the suspicious right, including the Second Amendment people by saying the ghovt is lying to them about the death of u. S. Diplomats, about the irs, about fast and furious to catch cross border drug dealers. Two, change and restrict voter laws to discourage and confuse democratic voters. Bottom line, a big republican victory this november. A veritable thumping of the democrats, set setting the stage of two years of administration frustration and obama hatred that seeds right up until the 2016 election. Lets start with the conspiracy mongering here in washington to betray those serving the country overseas. Who in the words of john baldwin, leaving americans to die at the hands of terrorists. To cheat conservative groups out of their tax dollars, and in some underhanded way, be in cahoots of the International Drug trade. The goal, ramrod the Republican Base to the polls. Michael steele was chairman of the Republican Party. Joan walsh is editor at large of salon. House speaker john baner who green lighted the Benghazi Select Committee laid out the gop strategy yesterday. Its about stoking conspiracies to get the truth. When is the administration going to tell the American People the truth . They have not told them the truth about benghazi. They not told the truth about the irs. They have not told the truth about fast and furious. Now, only one would have to guess if theyre not willing to tell the american truth, it must not be very pretty. Democrats are criticizing the republican effort to score political points by stoking these conspiracy theorys. Lets listen to congressman Elijah Cummings on the house vote to hold former irs official lois lerner in contempt of congress. This is unprecedented even in the mccarthy era. Even in that era, it failed. I wonder where were going here. Lets hear Hillary Clinton on the House Selection Committee of benghazi. Benghazi, the new investigation. Are you satisfied with the answers . And are you content with what you know what happened . Absolutely. I mean, of course there are a lot of reasons why despite all of the hearings, all of the information thats been provided some choose not to be satisfied and choose to continue to move forward, thats their choice. And i do not believe there is any reason for it to continue in this way, but they get to call the shots in the congress. Let me go to michael steele, former Republican National chairman. It seems to me the message here just to get it straight is a broad conspiracy that all the democrats do on all the issues that seem to matter is to hide stuff. Its all about hiding stuff. Hiding ben gas zi, hiding irs, hiding on this fast and furious campaign with a particular goal of going to the hardest right, the gun people. It seems to me to be playing to the fringe. This is people who will vote prawn if they do vote. This is to get them out to vote and angry. Youre driving your base. Just as weve seen democrats do in the past. And event to meant the left to drive home that base on a particular issue. I dont see the hyper sensitive to what republicans are doing in that instance. It all plays itself out ultimately in the end. Youve got to get through a primary process an you got to figure out how once you lay down these markers you either deliver the goods or youre going to get the rath of the voters who reject your political play. Its a political risk, but thats where the politics are. I think its completely risky but i think you do, too. Ultimately. What do you think of this whole strategy of basically alerting, igniting, turning on, exciting, scaring up, whatever, the right wing, the far right who are very suspicious of government, period, no matter whos running it, who are willing to believe the irs is evil. Theyre concerned about louing their guns to anybody. John bald sin is saying we killed out in the field. Its vicious stuff and i think boehner is being coached in how to sell it. He obviously is. For john boehner to be bringing up fast and furious at this point really smacks of desperation at this point. The whole conspiracy has eric holder in ka hoots with the gun control people to set this up to eventually have a big takeaway of guns. Thats at the bottom of what theyre upset about fast and furious. Holy concocted on the fringe of the right and nurtured by fox news. John boehner shouldnt be talking about fast and furious. He shouldnt be talking about any of this, but that in particular. I just have to say one thing to my friend michael. Yes, we want to get out our base. But when harry reid talks about the Koch Brothers they are oligarcs pouring millions of dollars into our political process in large measure to line their own pockets. Theyre not lining deeply rightwing agenda. Thats not a lie. The rest of this is based on lies. Are we now calling robert gates a lion . Leon pi n leon panetta a liar . The benghazi stuff is really, really dirty. The koch brother is doing what everybody is doing on the left. And theyre doing it through their wallets, through Political Action commit feeps theyre doing it in very legal ways. You can buy it or not buy it. Thats your prerogative. The same in terms of what the parties are talking about more broadly. I get on one level there may be concerned about how we do some of the stuff or do we push that envelope as far as we should. But there are 12i8 still substantive questions on all the issues that should be discussed. What are they . You have the floor, michael. I want to ask you this. Do you believe leon panetta, a credible moderate democrat, do you think he went out there to kill Chris Stevens . Me let him lie in the field . Of course not. Do you believe that loi lois lerner who is a bureaucrat was sitting there talking to the obama people about how to screw the right wing . Do you believe shes in cahoots with the that were still investigating, chris. We dont know. She hasnt told us. She is a federal employee probably for life and youre y saying shes can i just Say Something about dont use that word with me. That says something that youre not a stoner. Dont Start Talking like one. Go ahead, joan. Heres theling about loi lois lerner. She exercised her fifth amendment right, we all have them. Eli january cummings talked about this. Her lawyer made a proffer to Darrell Issas committee and the committee that congressman cummings sits on. He was willing to give a vague outline of what she knows to talk about some kind of possible, you know, protection from prosecution. They wouldnt even go there with her. They were much more interested in a witch hunt and a trial. You dont get to say to the congress of the United States on Something Like this, oh, well just tell you vaguely what we were doing. Not vaguely. You just used that determine. The cavalry has arrived on the democratic side which it rarely does. Weve caught him. The American People have caught the republicans making money on this. And this is something thats not up for debate, right . The National Republican Campaign Committee is out there raising money on the House Select Committee hear on benghazi with an email that reads, quote, stand with congressman trey gowdy, the Benghazi Select Committee as we fight for the truth about what happened with the benghazi attack. Help fight liberals by donating today. Using benghazi, including one from super hog john bolton. Heres how politico describes it. A john bolten email accused obama, clinton and leon panetta ofrefusing to admit leaving americans to die at the house of terrorists. And Elijah Cummings called on Speaker Boehner to end republican fundraising off the benghazi probe. They have been using the deaths of these four americans for Political Campaign fundraising. I call the speaker of the house to end that process right now. With all due respect, if the republicans want to fix the problems with their partisan investigation, they need more than just a new chairman. I have tremendous respect for mr. Gowdy, and im glad that he said the fundraising should not be done on the deaths of these four people. And i hope that the republican conference will finally agree with that. We are better than that heres the question, are they or arent they . House Speaker Boehner was questioned rather well by luke russert of nbc about whether it was appropriate to raise money over the deaths of americans overseas. By the way, one of these fundraisers asked for 500 for the four dead americans. It was ruthless. Heres luke res sert going after boehner asking if he thinks its appropriate. Speaker boehner, should the nrcc fundraise off your earths with the select committee . Our focus is on getting the answers to those families who lost their loved ones. Period. Is. But should the nrcc, theyre fundraising off of it right now . Is that the right thing to do . Our focus is getting the truth of these four families of the American People. O. The Campaign Committee, which you are very involved in is fundraising off of this. Why is that happening . Our focus is getting the truth for the American People and four families. No controlling legal authority. Why didnt he answer the question . Lets put it out here. He should back up his chairman of the select committee, congressman gowdy is absolutely right. There should be no fundraising on this issue. It is disrespectful to the deceased. It is disrespectful to their families. And it is disrespectful to the process that the Republican Leadership wants to pursue. So if youre serious about the impact of benghazi, then show it by pulling back off fundraising. Youre going to raise your money. You dont have to the chairman of the Republican National Committee Says its wrong to raise money off of benghazi. Yes. I support chairman gowdy 100 on this. Hes absolutely right. And the leadership need to back him up. This is a stunning abdication of leadership by john boehner, seriously. But it goes back to when he once said it wasnt his business to tell the American People or the members what to think whether the president was born in this country. For him not to back up trey gowdy to say of course were not going to fundraise on this and i want to stop, its stunning he wouldnt do that. Youre one of these reporters who keeps your file cabinet in your head the whole time. You remember, youre so good at remembering it, youre right. And by the way, im sure chairman Reince Preibus wi everything you say on this. Its horrible, its ridiculous. Morm morally, its absurd. Michael, you caught them on it better than i could. New republican restrictions were going to make it harder for people to vote. In North Carolina, we talked about scaring up votes. Theyre scaring it away. Wee got signs now as of the primaries this week in North Carolina, a state ive come to love, theyre screwing people out of voting and its already working. Plus, a school assignment, believe this or not in 2014, asking eighth graders out in california to write whether the holocaust was real. Was it just an ignorant assignment or evidence that holocaust denyability is gaining ground in schools . Finally, let me finish to night with how nasty campaigns can come back to bite you. It comes two days after Establishment Republicans fend off tea party challengers. But the story behind the headline is not good for progressives. Despite its cent setback, the tea party has pushed the Republican Party so far to the right that the partys establishment candidates are in turn becoming more palatable to its hard right. So the right is getting together. Well be right back. Here at lifk doing our thing protecting you in ways your Credit Card Company alone cant. Get lifelock protection and live life free.

The republicans have launched a nationwide assault to suppress the votes of blacks and other groups likely to vote democrats. Theres a frightening new look at the early fruits of those efforts. The states new laws which the New York Times has called the countrys most sweeping restrictions on voting in the country were in effect for the first time this tuesday and the results were not pretty. While most of the severe parts of the law dont kick in for a couple of years, not until 2016, election watchdogs on the ground in North Carolina are already noticing some disturbing trends. New realities. I according to a summary of monitoring work, quote, the laws disqualifications of votes cast in the wrong precinct caused major confusion. The States Campaign to inform voters about the upcoming id requirement was carried out in a wildly inconsistent manner. When the law kicks into full gear, this is me talking, it will likely only get worse. Of course thats the point. Republicans in the state have passed the law last year. Eliminates sameday voter registrati registration, kills a popular programs to preregister High School Students and slashes early voting. A and there are voter id laws. If republicans have the way, whats happening in North Carolina will be coming to a city near you. Eugene robinson is a political analyst and Pulitzer Prize winning columnist with the washington post. And brian pearlmudder is with the voter defender project. Brian, i want to start with you on the ground. What was your reaction . How do you assess the results of the voter laws as theyre affecting the finds of voters and minds of voters and the good people trying to vote . We had over 300 people on the ground in 36 counties in North Carolina. What we noticed was that people were confused when they came to vote, especially in places like boone and in halifax county. Voters who were showing up to vote at precincts and the state, you know, in specific counties have been changing and moving precinct locations. That the out of precinct voting regulations that wuld not allow people who are voting out of precinct for their votes to count. Folks showing up at the wrong precinct were shuffled around and very confused about where they needed to vote. Used to be if you showed up at the wrong precinct, because you went to what you thought was the closest place, they would still count your vote. Now what happens . Yeah. Now your vote doesnt count. You have to be at the right precinct. And so where i was in boone, North Carolina, there were students who were showing up on the campus, its split into two. So students who were showing up with their roommate to go vote at a polling location would be inevitably at the wrong they would pick the wrong precinct and have to walk a little over a mile to get to the other precinct. Just regulations like this make it harder for students to vote, republicans to vote. And this is all purposeful. Look at this. A republican in North Carolina actually went on the record during an interview with the lady sh daily show to gloat about how this would hurt democrats. Its going to kick the democrats in the butt. If it hurts lazy blacks, so be it. And it just so happens a lot of those people vote democrat . Gee. Well, you know, its amazing when you have the eye of the tiger here. Anyway, yellen was forced to resign. Youre not supposed to say it out loud. What youre supposed to say out loud is this is to protect the integrity of the voting process. We cant have voter fraud. This is all ostensibly to solve a problem that doesnt exist. No, they have a problem, though. Its a different problem. Democrats are voting democrats. It solves a different problem. Arent you amazed . You grew up in south carolina. You saw it all. Were you surprised this guy was willing to come out and say this is to keep blacks from voting. I was surprised, actually. Even back then they would keep up a pretext. They would say they were looking for truly literate voters. They wouldnt say lazy blacks. He talks like mr. Poll tax, mr. Literacy law. He doesnt seem to have any problem saying that. When you go around there, are you surprised that people are so openly or are they so openly flagrant about the goal to keep blacks from voting . Yeah, i think that there is this intense reactionary wave of people in North Carolina, but theres also a group of folks, you know, in this grassroots earth that is mobilizing people in North Carolina to fight back nens against these immoral laws. People are tired in North Carolina and they want, you know, the voting process to be meaningful. So weve been mobilizing people on the ground and all over the place to really fight back against this legislation. By november, is there going to be a fair vote in North Carolina or is it going to be tilted . The table tilted against kay hagan from getting reelectriced. The laws, the way people are being reinforced, is this going to tilt the table against kay hagan . I think what were seeing right now, and hopefully, everyone is able to vote in North Carolina. But what we saw in the primary, and this is a primary election, where theres a very small turnout. People were already confused about what was happening with this law. When it was being implemented, if they needed an id. Some people were asking folks and telling them they needed an id for 2016. Other precincts, they wouldnt ask and tell people about these regulations. Its creating this confusion and this hysteria in North Carolina. And when you have millions and millions of dollars coming into the state, the last thing we need is more confusion and more la i i layers on top of that. Were going to be on the ground making sure everyone can get to the polls. It is definitely a concern that we have. So you have boehner in the white shirt doing the white shirt job. His job is to get out the crazy right wingers, scaring them about benghazi and irs and fast and furious. Even though these are words he would normally not speak. At the same time, you scare up the vote on the right, you have to scare up the liberal vote. Its pretty much twopronged. Tilts the playing field. Why are they doing this when theyre already ahead . This is what nixon did and ruined his career. This is what he did in 72 when they were going to kill mcgovern. But they had to go break into offices and cover it up. Why are they going so crazy here. Theyre going to win anyway. They may not be sure theyre that far ahead. You look at the polls. North carolina is a state thats been changing. They got a huge hispanic vote now. You know, its a changing state. Its changing week by week. Its not as secure as you think. When you roll up the score in any game, you pay later for it. I think theyre trying to roll it up in a nasty way. Thank you, gene robinson. Theyre skeptical, but i think they would be in good shape now if they werent so dir about it.

The house voted overwhelmingly to consider allowing a privately funded National Womens museum or Womens History Museum to be built in washington there on the mall. Its just an initial step for plans to show case the contributions of women to the american culture. It turns out the most vocal opponent of the bill is u. S. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann. She says the Museum Dedicated to american women would only serve to embolden what she calls the radical feminist movement. Listen to this point of view here. I rise today in opposition to this bill because i believe ultimately this museum that will be built on the National Mall on federal land will enshrine the radical feminist movement that stands against the pro life movement, the pro family movement, and the pro traditional marriage movement. This was the same Michele Bachmann who expressed gratitude when she was posted in one of their exhibits. The posted this on mothers day.

Every day that you have lived, every child and grandchild that your families have brought into this world has served as the ultimate rebuke to evil and the ultimate expression of love and hope and you are an inspiration to every single one of us. On behalf of all of us, thank you for the example of your lives and sharing your stories with us in the world. Welcome back to hardball. That was president obama last night speaking at Steven Spielbe spielbergs shoa foundation, which documents the stories of Holocaust Survivors. Theres a reminder as to why its so important that survivors share their stories with the world. Because believe it or not. There are teachers in america who are actually encouraging debate about whether the holocaust ever took place. The Rialto Unified School district gave its eighth grade students perhaps the most disturbing, ignorant essay assignment imaginable this spring. When tragic events occur in history, theres a debate about their actual existence. For example, some people claim the holocaust is not an actual historical event but instead is a propaganda tool that was used for political purpose and monetary gain. Based upon your research in this issue, write an argumentative essay in which you can explain whether or not you believe the holocaust was an actual event in history or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain wealth. After the district was criticized for that assignment, school board fishes who first defended that assignment, but the board later apologized. The associate dean recently spoke at a Rialto School Board meeting. And with me is a special guest tonight, martin goldsmith, a journey of remembrance. He traces the root members of his own family took as they tried to flee the holocaust and were subsequently taken to au auschwi auschwitz. His grandfather and uncle beth perrished there at that death camp. I want to start with the bad news then a get to this excellent book by martin goldsmith. Rabbi, tell me about this what was your reaction when you heard about the fact that school kids were given an open question arnt parentally, was there a holocaust. Well, actually, chris, first offal all, amen to what the president said last night about survivors and the unique role they play with young people in terms of giving hope and guidance for the future. The actual reality was a lot worse. It wasnt just one teacher. There were five teachers who collaborated on this project. There was someone within the district curriculum who reviewed it. We still dont know if this was just the ultimate stupidity or something worse. But 2,200 eighth graders in rialto were given 18 pages to look at, told to quote reliable documentation, which was quote, unquote, provided. Anne frank was a hoax. Stuff down loaded from hate sites. Maybe it was supposed to be designed for Critical Thinking, but what it did was elevated hate with historic fact. And maybe one of the good news i reported to you, there was another call that was down there last night. Thankfully, we still have a few Holocaust Survivors and theyll be there to give a human face, the human touch to these unbelievable statistics. To humanize what happened after the holocaust is important. This will allow a person to come to their own conclusion, Current Events are part of the basis for measuring iq. The middle east, israel, palestine and the holocaust are on newscasts discussing Current Events, teaching how to come to your own conclusion based on the facts to test your position, be able to articulate that position then depend your belief with a lucid argument is essential to good citizenship. Martin, ive watched for years when people who are jewish go on cspan even and you get this reaction from crazy people. Anybody who reads these followup comments online. The antisemitism is out there. But here teachers saying thats one point of view. Exactly. Its astounding. And my grandfather and uncle were two of the 6 million, two of the 1. 1 to 1. 5 Million People murdered 234 auschwitz. I was outraged when i heard about this. You went back and just for your own human need went back and retraced how people who were in your family on the st. Louis that was sent back from america, sent back from cuba, ending up in threequarters of the cases going to the death camp. Exactly right. My grandfather alex goldschmidt, helmut goldschmidt, more than 200 refugees turned away first from cuba then the United States, then canada. The ship sailed back to europe. My grandfather and uncle got off the boat in france, spent the next three years in various french concentration camps before being shipped to their deaths in auschwitz in 1942. Three years ago, my wife and i retraced their steps beginning in the small lore saxony village where my grandfather was born in 1879, going to all the places in france they were held and hitting in the polish city where auschwitz is. Thats important to go back, tell the human story of a guy like this who ive been listening to on radio, classical music. Somebody you know says look, my family, i went back and traced it. It happened in human terms. We know they have all the names in israel of people who were killed. But these people keep from 5. 5 million visitors to the museum of tolerance. Young people want to know the truth. They will identify with the message. Sometimes they have more common sense than the adults in the room. But when you have teemp, five of them, and an assignment on core things of teaching about Critical Thinking down loading hate material, you know, whats next . We monitor websites that say harken back to the great old days of slavery and say blacks were better off then or the Martin Luther king website thats put up by white supremists that denigrate. We should be using the hate materials to teach Critical Thinking, not legitimatizing the hate message to young minds. It really was a disastrous dpigs on the ground. And well take care of the young people that went through this, but i sure hope the rialto School District will take a hard look in the mirror. Something is very broken there. Some holocaust deniers say give me a chance ill finish the job. And then tler other biogots who say i dont want to deal with what happened. Those people are in some way more dangerous. The great irony is i think the government of germany has, as a country, i was just over in berlin with my wife, you see the way theyve recognized it with berlin with that encredible memorial to the horror. And at least theyre doing that over there now. Anyway, thank you. Rabbi and my new friend albert goldschmi goldschmidt. Its a great human story. It really is a great story about going back and its a road picture, if you will, of a man tracing a tragedy. Its a great book to read.

I know why i loved my dad. He was my best friend. But now years after his death, i often wonder why the guy who threw around games, made me laugh and recite vocabulary cards. My dad could relate to anyone. Luke russert is nbcs Congressional Correspondent and joins me right now. Luke, its great. Thanks for having me. First of all the book was great. If Luke Russert Tim Russert had not been a star of our immediate wrum, of news gathering and News Analysis this book still would have been great. Whats great about it, you have come far because youve done all of this in your youth. But your dad came from a regular family, workingclass family. His father was a garbage man. And what i love in fact, we were talking how were careful with our garbage now. We always make sure the senior producer and i agree, we make sure personally because of this book never to leave sharp objects in the hefty bags because they cut the hands are or the guys. The garbage guys. The moment that got to me in this book you have to read this book is the emotional moment when tim is riding around in a garbage truck with his dad. And even though thats not the most celebrated job in the world, the pride he had in being with his dad. Its something that resonate ed so vividly with him. And i remember my father often talking about how he was able to interview popes and president s. But some of his proudest memories were, in fact, on that garbage truck with my grandfather. And one of the things he documents in the book he learned the val you you of hard work on the back of that garbage truck, and that he knew for a fact after he did it for a summer theres no way he could have lasted the dozens and dozens of years my grandfather did it. One he especially poignant mome my father decides hes going to go on to college and graduate school and succeed, its the last day in the garbage truck he takes off his uniform and throws in the back and the guy riding says youll be back soon enough. He says, no, im not coming back. I have to get out of here. My grandfather is very supportive of that but wanted him to know the meaning of hard work, the meaning of what would happen if you flunked out. It was remarkable. When i complain about a writing assignment late at night, i think how hard my dad worked. I can do it. Your dad was driven, driven to get the answers. He was like an irish cop if in the interrogation room. Finding out the answer. I watched him on meet the press. He would come in with that m manila folder. He would keep it aside. During the interview hed open up with the real question, david duke, why did you hate america so much that you joined the nazi party . And there was no answer. Or you say the three biggest job producers are the issue and he had no idea who they were. What his method was, he learned in law school. He was prosecutorial. His idea was nobody was going to outresearch him. He would read constantly. He would read at work. He would read at home. He would have mounds and mounds and mounds of research. Tons of legal briefings, if you will. And he would read it all, and he would anticipate ten steps ahead from whatever answer his guest would give. Oftentimes you see now, you come forward as a host and ive been guilty of doing it as well and im sure you are. You have three or four thoughtout questions and you dont listen clearly enough to the response his guest was giving. He was an aggressive listener and would sometimes throw away his preprepared questions. Excuse me, what you said is spin. The reason i know i read all these documents. This followup is key. Of all the time, the best question comes out of the last answer, which is true. I could do it all day. Im here to sell the book. I think its a great personal story about america. This is. Its a story of growing up. And its about fathers and sons. Im going to read your preface. Youre very kind. Thank you for having me. Well be right back after this. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the United States, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence. Its one more part of our commitment to america. [ male announcer ] thats why theres ocuvite to help replenish key eye nutrients.

[ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. She can print amazing things, right from her computer. [ whirring ] [ train whistle blows ] she makes trains that are friends with trees. My mom works at ge. Whatever happened to good . Good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it. Good is maxwell house. Good to the last drop let me finish tonight with this insidious plan to scare up rightwing voteders and scare off the votes the of those who tend to vote democratic. This is just the kind of campaign mentality that leads to trouble on the part of those who pursue it. Everyone knows the republicans are heading for a good Election Night this november. They are poised to win the senate. Poised, at least, and to pick up five to ten seats in the house of representatives. You know it. They know it. Believe me, smart democrats know it. So why this plan to roll up the score are to bring out the crazies on the right and drown out 0 the progressives including many minorities who will be intimidated by the new republican pushed voter laws. Ive watched how exactly this kind of stuff blows up in your face. It did with Richard Nixon in 1950 when he called his senator opponent pink right down to her underwear and when he took a sure win for reelection and turned it into watergate. The trouble with nasty politics like the kind were getting from the house leadership is it makes you look nasty. It makes it look like youre moneygrubbing on the debts of those four american depp mats, like youre ready to kill a little more faith in government to get a few more votes. Its a rotten deal, and the people who play it will pay for it. Maybe not this year but in the years to come
