Question we are asking until our ends at 10. Falls church. Good morning. Caller good morning. Donna. O ahead, caller good morning. Okay, my first comment is to all people who chose to come charlottesville and to stand up for just the issue of racism, i applaud those people, takes a big person to ant to be in someone elses shoes, to almost go to the point of giving their life, unfortunately, that young woman, who was not black, lost her life and im pretty sure when she last thing as the she had on her mind was she was maybe in the course of the day might not be coming back home. So that is a really big thing that she didnt know she would e giving her life for a cause that has been embedded in this country from as far back as you can go. The gentleman that called previously that said that, you about the s talking antiprotesters and how they were throwing rocks and stuff. Have walked in another persons shoes and truly felt felt, because i am a black woman and im proud to be a black woman. Two beautiful grandsons who are biracial and, you know, for them because they are going to have to grow up in this one day, d they may this type ome across of feeling or this type of down to when it comes just the whole issue if you are if you rticular color, dont look a particular way, if you dont think a particular you know, by societys standards, which, you society and the standards that seem to be, that were had to come from from some group and obviously the roup has, you know, group has claimed it, has part has for the most been black people. I dont think every white person prejudice. I dont think every white person is racist. We saw that over the weekend, but, you you know, if talks likeke a duck, a duck, then its a duck. Use your common sense. Ou already know how racism started in this country anyway, had now, granted you endentured servants that were the , but at the end of day, you are choosing to keep a people as subserve iant, as lower than you. Host donna, got your point. You mentioned the young woman, heyer, pair ther legal at Miller Law Group in charlottesville, virginia. Stories about the the victim, heather heyer. As nds describe her passionate advocate for disenfranchised, who was often by injustice. She joined demonstrators nationalists on saturday. That is New York Times story about it. Georgia, line , for democrats. Go ahead. Aller good morning, yes, my comment is that the president s statement, the president comes out and if if something or slamic, come out with a am i on the air . Host go ahead, alfred. Aller come out with a statement, come out with islamic terrorism, but when it happens he has nothing or little to say and that is wrong, because most of the terrorism by domesticica done terrorists and to the people protecting confederate statues, confed rase was only four or five years of the people tory and picked up arms against america, ll statues should be taken down. They lost, they lost. Jeffers on helped slaves, jefferson never picked up arms against this country, where jackson, stonewall obert e. Lee and other people picked up arms and wanted to destroy the United States. Montana, an in independent. Good morning. Caller good morning. To comment on what trump said over the week end, he was decrying violence to all people. Of one side, not people of another, okay, but both sides. Everyone. Is the whole thing people dont get. News et one side from the service, whatever news service they choose to watch. Ne side is saying one thing, one side is saying another, the truth is in the middle, people. Ashamed saying this man does this, that lady does that. Is everyones misguidedness causing media, that is the problems. Host jim, what news service do you watch . What do you trust . Caller pardon me . Host what news service, where o you get your news, what network . Caller i get my mus from all over the place, i get it from cnn, you guys, cspan, from fox, it the internet, i get everywhere. That way i can kind of get in and judge of this what is happening. This man could throw gold in the in the street and somebody would find a reason to say hes spending someone elses money to do it. Host jim, here is senator graham, a republican, who talked about his concerns about the president s statements news sunday. I would urge the president to dissuade them of the fact that is sympathetic to their cause. Their cause is hate. Are unamerican, they domestic terrorists and we need this rom the president on issue. Host any thought why he didnt do this yesterday . Isi like President Trump, it up to him to correct the roar here, not me. I know they dont consider me i think the president can be clear when he wants to be, he needs to be here. Host were getting your thoughts this morning, president on the violence in charlottesville enough . Howard, line for democrats, good morning. Caller good morning. Howard.

You dont believe they are americans, people who are expressing this concern . Richard . Well go to bill, line for democrats. Good morning. Hello. Host go ahead, bill. White supremacist, neonazi, kkk, nazis, when they to promoteottesville violence and we see what happened, a person was urdered, a counterprotester was murdered by this person in president cant call out those groups specifically and say this is makes a broad, ambiguous, vague statement and adds violence by many does many sides, what that mean . Does that mean that this murder justified because there was violence on both sides . You. Host that issue of the president s comments saying many it was an issue that came up this morning when the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, interview on the today show, the attorney general what the other sides were. Well, weve had violence any numbercountry in of ways over decades. Weve had spasms of violence unacceptable in america. He did say he wasnt just alking about donald trump or barack obama, he said, these problems have been going on for time. G he said what happened in charlottesville is unacceptable, what d to find out happened, that it is wrong and we need to study it and see what as a nation we can do to be more ffective against this kind of supremism and evil, really. I thought it was a pretty it statement, delivered just a few hours after the event. Yesterday, they explicitly called out the nazis and kkk. Statement you are referring to came from the white house, attributed house,came from the white it sure did, it was authorized. And here is the president , as sessions, hesral not afraid to take to twitter to chastise a number of folks, included, not afraid to call out terrorism overseas, but is a president that didnt do that. Why . The president did do that his spokesman said that. That is not the same as the president interrupting me. You asked, i was giving you an answer. Go ahead. White house spokesman that made the statement condemning the groups name and im sure he will talk again about it soon. Today, the president of the United States today will groups and condemn White Nationalist group . He will be speaking to the not sure what m he will say, that is my understanding and hes been firm from the beginning. He is appalled by this. Ost speaking of the president s schedule today. Axius reporting President Trump u. S. Government process to crack down on beijing stealing American Intellectual property, that expected announcement at the white house. Events for theer president this week, he will host infrastructure discussion tax reform er, hold event this week and visit opioid clinic in new jersey. About what reporting is on the president s schedule for now. Well look to see if that changes. Allen in st. Petersburg, florida, line for independents, good morning. Morning. Ood m responding partly to a lady to lee ed the monuments nd to the other confederate traitors, our southern white ts, and im a southerner, ive lived in the south for about 28 years in a state. N i dont consider the and the monuments to be our monuments, and im a im white. And slavery was not my institution not the institution f a lot of low income poor dispossessed white southerners, southerners. Lack johnsvie, free state of made it absolutely clear that southerners and poor hite southerners sometimes ollaborated in jones county, mississippi, in armed against the c confederacy and they made mississippi a free county where slavery was illegal. So when this woman speaks of the monuments as our im a white southerner and i dont agree with that. Father was born in the south here in florida. North. Her was born in the i had an ancestor who fought in army erican revolutionary to separate america from great britain. In the revolutionary war, i had ancestor, who fought in gettysburg against the slave owners and i dont monuments my onuments and i think he was a traitor and traitors to the country. Host any of the monuments in petersburg, florida . Caller it is my understanding i dont know for srn understanding the Tampa City Council disgustingly allowed one of the schools named after one of the confederates to remain named the confederate, socalled hero and im disgusted with that. Say take all the confederate monuments down throughout the south and the country. One other thing i want to add, nationalists white ho rallied, i want to talk one second about the torch light parade they did. From, the nazi gotten into the german 1933, they got him into the German Government and the nazi celebrated in berlin light parade. That is who they were copying. The man who murdered that woman charlottesville, was himself, said by his own former high chool teacher, to be a hitler lover and sympathizer with the nazis. Rioted, white who of whom who one murdered this young woman, who had a history of sympathizing downtrodden and hurt and victimized and discriminated she was a decent human being. The man who murdered her, had a sympathy with hitler and with the nazis, so that is parade, by ortlight the way, was modeled on. He guy who organized it, given free media coverage, by the way, spectrum e by the hannel 9, this guy kessler, he is basically trying to make ku klux klan and loving very much a part of the american mainstream and david , by the way host one question, before you go, we do have other callers before the end of the show. Think the media should cover these kind of rallies, apparently another of these is planned on a College Campus in texas coming up in the media how should treat these kinds of rallies in the future . Caller i think these people, these White Nationalists, are terrorists. Be called out as terrorists, that is what they are. Hey are white terrorists, they are nazi ku klux klan errorists, that is what the people are. Their monuments are not my monuments. Not my institution. I side with republican and democratic rights throughout the country, that is what i support. I support the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, introduced the civil war. Host got your point, allen. This topic. On dont care what trump says or not, White Supremacists were on the wrong side and i trust they resistancein, equate to evil with evil takes a intellectual f perversion. Hate must end, enough hate from both sides. Joe charleston, west virginia, for republicans, go ahead. Everybodys talking about the people, if groups hadnt of starting things who would they have had to fight with . Throwing things at people and another thing, too, those are trying to say, people are citizens of the and have a right to march, whether you agree or attacked from being from anybody. Host people wonder if the president agrees with them, they explicitly say groups by name, do you think the to be nts remarks need expanded . Groups no, he said hate from all sides. Those people urine onwing feces and the ones that were marching. Disgusting. But they had the right to march only if e acting like, certain people agree they have a right to march. Agree with no neonazi or that, allanything like those people glommed on to those people marching there. They were marching to save those monuments and they have a right to do that. Are being vilified because
