Arriving there, right, jacob? >> reporter: two and a half minutes, richard, a total eclipse and as someone just pointed out to me with their peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and an hour and a half partial eclipse after and thats why you see such an epic line of people in oregon, which is one of the best place to view this total solar eclipse the first time since 1979 in the united states. i have not interviewed these guys. where are you coming from? weir live from msnbc. >> portland? >> how lon...

He seems to miss him already. ive been watching these tweets. is this an olive branch of sorts to steve bannon? >> reporter: well, i think the president recognizes, jacob, that steve bannon has his own power base on the outside, funded by the conservative donors, the mercer family, now back at breitbart, as you pointed out, on a very day that he was still employed by the white house, wonder if hed turn in his pass yet, he was already back, named as the executive chairman of breitbart. because ba...

Something like 90% of their subscribers up to june of this year. the organizations been trying to get press credentials both in congress and in the white house, which was being blocked in part because their connections to steve bannon and bannons role in the white house. now that might be easier for them. in some ways, this very much empowers breitbart and steve bannon to sort of rally the base that helped elect trump against the trump administration. it is a very interesting moment where the pr...

Increasingly emboldened white nationalist movement across the country. this was supposed to be a case of duelling rallies. originally, we were expecting -- well actually keep walking as this small protest gets under way here. we were expecting a large demonstration against google by the so-called alt-right, and they were protesting the companys decision to fire james demor, the engineer who was fired who penned that memo that women were inferior to men. there were supposed to be nine of those ra...

From driving cars like weve seen in some of these terror attacks around the world. but the police presence was not particularly aggressive, not particularly in your face. again, along the march. you didnt see police on horseback or in riot gear or in that kind of thing, which can sometimes antagonize things. here in the commons, its a little bit different. just because theyve been trying to keep people contained in this area and as i said a few minutes ago, at some point, theyre going to try to ...

Worse. i think the only solution is separation. but there may be another solution and donald trump is going to, i think, bring us -- help us overcome the racial divide. i think that he will encourage fair-minded, deep thinking people to realize that separation is the only way we can achieve racial goals. >> ali, what is, i guess, fascinating but really terrifying about all this is that these very radical views are now being spoken about not in deep dark chat rooms but open in the mainstream. we ...

President trumps remarks yesterday getting a lot of backlash, but the reception isnt all negative, believe it or not. msnbcs jacob soboroff sat down with a self-proclaimed white nationalists after yesterdays impromptu press conference. jacob, what did he tell you? >> yeah, craig, i remember during the campaign we talked about this guy, william johnson, self-proclaimed behin self-proclaim self-proclaim self-proclaim self-proclaim self-proclaimed white nationalist. now it is president trump making...

Above another person. >> jacob, how are we do understand what your uncle is talking about and what hes about as a person? >> well, he says that he doesnt believe that theres any objective way to measure one race against another but what he told me in private is that black people have inherently lower iq than white people. if he says he doesnt believe white people are superior, hes lying. >> where do you think this came from? we read the letter saying he didnt learn it in your house. >> i wanted ...

Insightful comment ive heard. thats exactly true. no politician would ever say that. but its true. >> reporter: and do you believe that donald trump saying things like that will ultimately bring america closer to your goal of a white whitethno state? >> i think america needs to take a different direction. >> joining me now is mia wylie, senior vice president for social justice in new york, and peter vincent, former senior counterterrorism official at the department of justice and homeland securi...

Critics are saying is creating a false equivalence putting neo-nazi on the same footing as people who came out to stand them down. i can tell you from life experience, theres only one side there. neo-nazi, there was a war fought against them, there was a civil war fought against white supremacists, they lost. these groups seem pretty clear what they are, hate mongers. thank you for taking time with us, jacob. well take you live to seoul ahead to see what is on the agenda as far as north korea....
