RUSH TRANSCRIPT Michelle the ░░░░░░░░ and it s important ░░░░░░░░ Rebecca to make these ░░░░░░░░ The defense of Donald ░░░░░░░░ based on a trope ░░░░░░░░ him that he doesn ░░░░░░░░ know any better He ░░░░░░░░ just a 72 year ░░░░░░░░ man who doesn t ░░░░░░░░ anything about being president ░░░░░░░░ s still learning about ░░░░░░░░ history at 72 years ░░░░░░░░ age Brit Hume in ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump and mocking ░░░░░░░░ Smith s criticism of ░░░░░░░░ for referencing the trail ░░░░░░░░ tears says oh yes ░░░░░░░░ Trump is noted for ░░░░░░░░ knowledge of 19th century ░░░░░░░░ history vis a vis ░░░░░░░░ native population geez As ░░░░░░░░ Trump doesn t know ░░░░░░░░ Andrew Jackson is Jackson ░░░░░░░░ the architect of the ░░░░░░░░ of tears Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ being Andrew Jackson s ░░░░░░░░ a part of his ░░░░░░░░ He s called Andrew ░░░░░░░░ his hero He famously ░░░░░░░░ the Navajo code talkers ░░░░░░░░ a portrait of Jackson ░░░░░░░░ calling Elizabeth Warren pocahontas ░░░░░░░░ is Donald Trump talking ░░░░░░░░ Andrew Jackson at a ░░░░░░░░ of his birthday in ░░░░░░░░ was during the revolution ░░░░░░░░ Jackson first confronted and ░░░░░░░░ an arrogant elite Does ░░░░░░░░ sound familiar to you ░░░░░░░░ wonder why they keep ░░░░░░░░ about Trump and Jackson ░░░░░░░░ and Trump I know ░░░░░░░░ feeling Andrew Michelle is ░░░░░░░░ the soft bigotry that ░░░░░░░░ is innocent of knowledge ░░░░░░░░ his favorite president It ░░░░░░░░ more that the best ░░░░░░░░ can say for Trump ░░░░░░░░ sort of only affirmative ░░░░░░░░ of Trump is that ░░░░░░░░ s historically ignorant about ░░░░░░░░ one president who he ░░░░░░░░ to model himself after ░░░░░░░░ s sort of the ░░░░░░░░ case you can make ░░░░░░░░ Trump Clearly he knows ░░░░░░░░ the trail of tears ░░░░░░░░ At least enough to ░░░░░░░░ it in a nasty ░░░░░░░░ I also want to ░░░░░░░░ to something that Rebecca ░░░░░░░░ full disclosure my husband ░░░░░░░░ been consulting for Elizabeth ░░░░░░░░ But we are not ░░░░░░░░ same people same person ░░░░░░░░ we are not like ░░░░░░░░ conways You wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ for somebody if we ░░░░░░░░ t both support what ░░░░░░░░ stood for I want ░░░░░░░░ say Elizabeth Warren did ░░░░░░░░ fact have a native ░░░░░░░░ ancestor and grew up ░░░░░░░░ this was part of ░░░░░░░░ heritage and identified with ░░░░░░░░ I think she was ░░░░░░░░ and she obviously shouldn ░░░░░░░░ have identified herself as ░░░░░░░░ American on that bar ░░░░░░░░ but this was kind ░░░░░░░░ part of if you ░░░░░░░░ the video that s ░░░░░░░░ her in so much ░░░░░░░░ her conservative brothers also ░░░░░░░░ this was the story ░░░░░░░░ our family that we ░░░░░░░░ up hearing To me ░░░░░░░░ s very different from ░░░░░░░░ president that s basically ░░░░░░░░ at genocide or using ░░░░░░░░ as a sort of ░░░░░░░░ line on Twitter Let ░░░░░░░░ let Rebecca quickly respond ░░░░░░░░ that Yeah So that ░░░░░░░░ completely false Warren has ░░░░░░░░ cherokee ancestry Genealogists in ░░░░░░░░ did her genealogy That ░░░░░░░░ what cherokee genealogists do ░░░░░░░░ someone claims to be ░░░░░░░░ Whoancestry Who Warren family ░░░░░░░░ is not a mystery ░░░░░░░░ ancestors that she claims ░░░░░░░░ the cherokee people as ░░░░░░░░ the census of white ░░░░░░░░ actual cherokee people were ░░░░░░░░ on the census at ░░░░░░░░ Let me ask you ░░░░░░░░ The other thing that ░░░░░░░░ checked and this is ░░░░░░░░ important for people to ░░░░░░░░ Cherokee people are one ░░░░░░░░ the most well documented ░░░░░░░░ in the world We ░░░░░░░░ right up there with ░░░░░░░░ because we endured genocide ░░░░░░░░ our land was being ░░░░░░░░ all these moments every ░░░░░░░░ cherokee would document it ░░░░░░░░ went looking up Warren ░░░░░░░░ family tree and crossed ░░░░░░░░ of their roles and ░░░░░░░░ for them They re ░░░░░░░░ there There is no ░░░░░░░░ that she has a ░░░░░░░░ cherokee ancestor The only ░░░░░░░░ she has is this ░░░░░░░░ science of a DNA ░░░░░░░░ which you can t ░░░░░░░░ to lay claim on ░░░░░░░░ tribes or relationship to ░░░░░░░░ tribes People don t ░░░░░░░░ that The average American ░░░░░░░░ does not know that ░░░░░░░░ benefited from that confusion ░░░░░░░░ needs to apologize to ░░░░░░░░ the record straight She ░░░░░░░░ still allowing people to ░░░░░░░░ this myth about cherokee ░░░░░░░░ Let me ask you ░░░░░░░░ question Rebecca this goes ░░░░░░░░ Michelle you can correct ░░░░░░░░ if I am wrong ░░░░░░░░ the question whether or ░░░░░░░░ Elizabeth Warren was intending ░░░░░░░░ somehow harm or you ░░░░░░░░ use the cherokee community ░░░░░░░░ some way which you ░░░░░░░░ putting on the form ░░░░░░░░ indicate or whether or ░░░░░░░░ she was responding to ░░░░░░░░ she was told by ░░░░░░░░ family I have patience ░░░░░░░░ Warren making those claims ░░░░░░░░ on She has been ░░░░░░░░ by cherokee people for ░░░░░░░░ past six years of ░░░░░░░░ evidence of the story ░░░░░░░░ told is not true ░░░░░░░░ she continues to tell ░░░░░░░░ She s a U ░░░░░░░░ Lawmaker who s running ░░░░░░░░ president If there is ░░░░░░░░ body of people of ░░░░░░░░ should hold accountable for ░░░░░░░░ impact of their action ░░░░░░░░ not intention certainly it ░░░░░░░░ people in the U ░░░░░░░░ Senate or who are ░░░░░░░░ whose actions will have ░░░░░░░░ impact on the daily ░░░░░░░░ of Americans She needs ░░░░░░░░ be responsible for than ░░░░░░░░ for the impact of ░░░░░░░░ action I will say ░░░░░░░░ that stories about great ░░░░░░░░ cherokee grandmas it is ░░░░░░░░ grandmas and you would ░░░░░░░░ a few hung years ░░░░░░░░ our tribe was 100 ░░░░░░░░ Her great grandma or ░░░░░░░░ is cherokee those stories ░░░░░░░░ common among white people ░░░░░░░░ in Oklahoma Twice as ░░░░░░░░ people marked down that ░░░░░░░░ are cherokee and eligible ░░░░░░░░ register in the three ░░░░░░░░ tribe That s nearly ░░░░░░░░ a million people Warren ░░░░░░░░ alone in this but ░░░░░░░░ does not make it ░░░░░░░░ more right of this ░░░░░░░░ of having a great ░░░░░░░░ cherokee grandma that something ░░░░░░░░ a lot of white ░░░░░░░░ claim it does not ░░░░░░░░ they get to claim ░░░░░░░░ just because they were ░░░░░░░░ growing You know one ░░░░░░░░ the kind of out ░░░░░░░░ of the Trump era ░░░░░░░░ are having some of ░░░░░░░░ really important conversations about ░░░░░░░░ and about race and ░░░░░░░░ some of the demons ░░░░░░░░ lurks in the history ░░░░░░░░ the United States This ░░░░░░░░ one of them The ░░░░░░░░ of you know why ░░░░░░░░ there so many people ░░░░░░░░ Latino ancestors in the ░░░░░░░░ in the parts of ░░░░░░░░ United States that used ░░░░░░░░ be Mexico We are ░░░░░░░░ to confront a lot ░░░░░░░░ these things At the ░░░░░░░░ of the day it ░░░░░░░░ not just about Donald ░░░░░░░░ that we are confronting ░░░░░░░░ Exactly right After Barack ░░░░░░░░ was president everybody said ░░░░░░░░ we were pro racial ░░░░░░░░ and we thought the ░░░░░░░░ were healing In fact ░░░░░░░░ are littered with scabs ░░░░░░░░ the president knows how ░░░░░░░░ peal back those scabs ░░░░░░░░ are having thoughtful conversations ░░░░░░░░ reason why we are ░░░░░░░░ these thoughtful conversations is ░░░░░░░░ Americans do not know ░░░░░░░░ history Our history is ░░░░░░░░ taught to the American ░░░░░░░░ in the classroom We ░░░░░░░░ our heads when we ░░░░░░░░ stories of Native Americans ░░░░░░░░ native and slaughtered We ░░░░░░░░ when we learn that ░░░░░░░░ Americans denied of water ░░░░░░░░ We do not have ░░░░░░░░ representation in front of ░░░░░░░░ newsroom where people can ░░░░░░░░ the power of their ░░░░░░░░ to explain the individuals ░░░░░░░░ America is changing so ░░░░░░░░ We have a president ░░░░░░░░ not only talks about ░░░░░░░░ trail of tears as ░░░░░░░░ it is some sort ░░░░░░░░ joke In it he ░░░░░░░░ okay we talking about ░░░░░░░░ There is no two ░░░░░░░░ of a story there ░░░░░░░░ depression and individuals that ░░░░░░░░ been heard Well no ░░░░░░░░ s not the case ░░░░░░░░ are not telling people ░░░░░░░░ story For Latinos for ░░░░░░░░ 99 of their grandchildren ░░░░░░░░ speaking English because we ░░░░░░░░ losing language in our ░░░░░░░░ We are being irresponsible ░░░░░░░░ the American public how ░░░░░░░░ country is changing and ░░░░░░░░ our roots are How ░░░░░░░░ we address this so ░░░░░░░░ can be unified as ░░░░░░░░ nation going forward Trump ░░░░░░░░ not expect us to ░░░░░░░░ the hard conversations Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ are important conversations People ░░░░░░░░ t even know that ░░░░░░░░ of the history I ░░░░░░░░ this is really important ░░░░░░░░ have these conversations.
