enforceable under the first amendment. the hatch act was enforceable against me for 27 years. the first amendment doesn t get enforceable when you re employed or not employed. it doesn t spell out when you re employed or nonemployed. here s the bottom line. there s certain conditions that can be enforced. here s the bottom line. donald trump drives every narrative in this presidency. you want to block people from observing and speaking on what they saw. then both sides were highly critical of. right? wait a sec. i didn t suggest they block it. i m saying it plays into donald trump s hands. he said i didn t get a fair shake. these people were conspiring against me. then you have james comey months after saying he has a higher loyalty saying don t worry about the policy. policies don t matter in this country. just vote for democrats which is in his self-interests because he doesn t want a probe of himself. wait a minute.
you don t personally have to break a window to be guilty of rioting and the first amendment doesn t protect what they call dangerous conspiracies. they say it was path of destruction throughout the city. joining me, alexi wood and his attorney, brett cohen. you chose to go first and that is why you re in trial this week. why did you want to be the first up? had if i can speak for mr. wood. he is looking to get the message that he didn t do anything wrong during this event. if you re going to talk for mr. wood, you have to say more than that. oh, sure. he is concerned about his, as you describe him as a photo journalist. he is concerned that although people can criticize his ability
your interpretation of the rally, do you agree with your colleague that it could be a teachable moment? i think the police i saw a strong outpouring of police there, the virginia state police in support of the charlottesville police. there is a permit for a demonstration and a right for people to express themselves, let me be clear, what i saw was abhor rant and i dispiez it and would never support it in any possible way. but when they move from peaceful words into clear violence when they show up with shields and batons and helmets they re not there for a peaceful assembly and the first amendment doesn t allow that and the police have a responsibility and obligation to break that up. going forward they have to use intelligence, work with the community to identify people who are coming in to charlottesville
that s what i know off the top of my head. go further look at attorney general jeff sessions who doesn t have a good history when it comes to race relations. the way this works, it s not that the president has to outright say i am a nazi or nazi sympathizer or racist, it s when he doesn t say something it encourages them. they know their allies have to use dog whistles and they use that opportunity to continue to recruit. would you be willing to work with the president to try to heal the racial de divide. the president is the one with the problem in the racial divide. so he should take it on himself as a leader to start. he just has to say a few words. number one saying white supremacy is against the american values and disgusting to the idea of american. neo-nazi and white supremacists
here is a part of it. we must remember our truth, no matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are all americans first. is he wrong on that or do u agree with him? no. the way white nationalists or neo-nazi work you need to openly condemn them. they re out there recruiting and talking to young men and sometimes women that are on the edges of society. unemployed men, men who have no careers going for them. and when the president doesn t outright condemn them, it only encourages them to join this weird and un-american movement. the president had an opportunity to be presidential and he blew it. unlike many other republican members of congress and senators
