Go ahead and continue. sorry about that. >> well, i -- thats fine. i was just saying to infer that this group of crazy fringe white nationalists are part or even a significant part of donald trumps base voters and part of his political calculations are absurd. in 2008 and 2012 people who were casting their ballots for barack obama switched their vote and did not vote for hillary clinton and voted for donald trump, and thats what helped actually put him over the edge. >> that was a website for th...

Rightly, there is pressure and attention focused on how the president responds. >> john, what do you think about people saying that possibly this is politically motivated. president trump did not want to lose the base of his supporters. we know that president trump gets strong support from whut nationalists and the alt right. case in point, david duke endorsed president trump during the campaign. do you feel this is simply just an oversight? >> to extrapolate that a few crazy white nationalists ...

Not distancing himself and calling out david duke as well? >> i think the tough line that john talks about -- the real tough line that the president has is that many of these people are his supporters. this is a president who was a candidate tapped into racial ang zpliet in the country. not just economic anxiety. he tapped into these emotions that really are apparent in the united states. i think the problem or the fear or if you want to talk about failing, the reason that people around the coun...

As a, you know, a part of a broader problem. >> all right. david ciders, john thomas, thank you so much both of you gentlemen for joining us. apologies that we couldnt get you to finish your sentence there, john. well do it again next time. thanks. all right. coming up -- >> you came here today to hurt people, and you did hurt people. my message is clear. we are stronger than you. >> that was the governor of virginia condemning the violence, calling out white supremacists from the violence tha...

Home. >> john stark. can you comment on john stark? >> im an alcoholic, i guess. or a professional drinker. >> hes a frequent flier. he comes in here quite often, usually for drunk in public. >> will i stop? i dont know. it depends if they run out of beer. >> i would see john stark come in three times, four times on a weekend. >> how is it hanging, robby? >> john is john. they all know me. in a way, these guys are my family also. they want me to run for sheriff. stark for sheriff. sounds good. �...
