Kaiser said, Im delighted that Mr. Trump has visited my alma mater at The New York Times and said he doesnt want to do this anymore, but I want to give him a little advice for the future if he does not want to stimulate the alt-right. First thing, he should never retweet someone with the name White Genocide who lists his dress as Jew America. thats what he did in february. he should never ask his supporters again to give the n**i salute, which he did at a rally in March. Thats not a good idea.
And then of course in July he retweeted an image of his opponent with the six-pointed Jewish star on it, he continued. I thought that was a mistake, but we have bigger problems here. also in july, you know, he selected as his vice president the most homophobic man in American public life, a person who believes that gay people actually do not have the right too exist, and then, if you dont want to support the alt-right, dont choose as a White House Counselor a man who uses the word n*gger, whose wife says that he did not want his daughters to go to a school with too many Jews, and dont choose as an attorney general a man who calls the NAACPan un-American organization and who we learned in The Guardian today went so far as to prosecute .
Anchor Brooke Baldwin then asked Kaiser not to say the n-word on her show.
Later on, Kaiser told Paris Dennard it was shameful that any African-American would support Jeff Sessions for attorney general.
At the end of the segment, a visibly upset Baldwin sharply criticized Kaiser for using the n-word, and said that the claim that Mr. Bannon used the n-word Ive never heard of this. So, theres that.

Needless to say, it was exactly as good as youd probably expect it to be, coming from Jordan. He really does have a voice thats just perfect for singing Christmas songs, and this rivals even his finale performance of Mary Did You Know last year.

Rules Don"t Apply | "Dip the Wick" Clip | 20th Century FOX
PanArmenian.NetThursday 27th October, 2016
PanARMENIAN.Net - Warren Beatty"s Howard Hughes character is seriously smitten with Lily Collins in Fox"s final trailer for the comedy-drama "Rules Don"t Apply".
According to Variety, Collins portrays a spunky actress in 1958 Hollywood who tells Hughes that she"s OK with his multiple eccentricities - such as an affection for banana nut ice cream and keeping more than a dozen actresses under contract. "You"re not crazy; you"re an exception," she explains.
"You make an old guy courageous," Hughes says in response before taking off on his first flight in more than a decade. The final scene in the clip shows one of the plane"s engines stalling.
"This is Frank"s first plane ride," Beatty says of Alden Ehrenreich"s character. "I want to make it memorable."
The trailer begins with a flummoxed Alec Baldwin explaining over the phone, "Howard, I"m finding it very hard to run your companies without ever having seen you."
"Rules Don"t Apply" premieres Nov. 10 at the opening of the AFI Fest at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
Beatty produced and directed from his own script and stars in the film for New Regency and Fox, which is releasing "Rules Don"t Apply" on Nov. 23.
The star-laden cast includes Annette Bening, Candice Bergen, Steve Coogan, Ed Harris, Haley Bennett, Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, Taissa Farmiga, Megan Hilty, Oliver Platt and Ehrenreich - who plays a driver working for Hughes. He becomes involved with Collins" character despite Hughes rule against romance between employees.
"Rules Don"t Apply" is the first film that Beatty has directed since 1998"s "Bulworth."

Story Highlights
Notre Dame vs. Virginia Tech, 3:30 p.m., Saturday, WTHR
SOUTH BEND Years in the future, James Onwualu will look back and watch memorable games from his career at Notre Dame.
They wont be games you think.
h**l pull film from losses.
There was the one at Florida State in 2015. The No. 2 Seminoles beat the No. 5 Fighting Irish 31-27 in Onwualus sophomore year. Then there was the monsoon game at Clemson the following season. The No. 12 Tigers hurt No. 6 Notre Dames College Football Playoff hopes with a 24-22 win that night during Onwualus junior season.
The senior linebacker will of course remember the victories, too like the time the Irish blew out Michigan in Notre Dame Stadiumtwo years ago. But its failure and adversity most of which has been experienced over the past 10 games that Notre Dame players believe will aidtheir lifes successes.
You put so much into a game and then you end up losing it, so thats the ones that you really feel and are flying home not very happy, and thats what you kind of remember, said Onwualu, who will be playing his final home game on Saturday when Notre Dame faces Virginia Tech on senior night.
Most players on this roster had never truly experienced failing in football before this season. The senior class had lost 12 games total prior to 2016but have already made up half the difference with the current 4-6 record. Various players have been asked throughout the season if they could remember their last losing one, whether in high school or peewee.
Sophomore linebacker Asmar Bilal, a Ben Davis graduate,took a solid 30 seconds to answer. He said he couldnt recall. Brian Kelly has had only one losing season in nearly three decades of coaching: in 2004 with a Central Michigan team that went 4-7.
What might not be as clear now is that some of the most valuable lessons are disguised in failure.
I think that this season has really proved to me that in order to achieve greatness, you have to see what its like to be on the other side of it, quarterback DeShone Kizer said. Last year I was thrown into the fire and came out pretty successful. And that was my whole career up until that point was me being a top athlete in a leading position and being successful.
This year has been the first year where I didnt have the start that I really wanted to have and I really had to experience what I was like to be a losing quarterback. And with that I think Ive learned quite a bit in a sense of, in order to maintain the elite stature and maintain success, you have to be able to feel what its like on the other side, so you can appreciate what goes into being successful.
Before coming to Notre Dame, Kizer won a state championship at Central Catholic High School in Toledo. Then in his first year as a starter in 2015, Kizer led the Irish to a 10-3 record on their wayto the Fiesta Bowl.
Asked if hes seen proof of adversity turning into something positive in aspects of his life away from football, Kizer jokingly referenced his finance grade.
It started off a little weak, he said, refusing to give up what the actual grade was. Now Ive definitely put in a couple more hours in tutoring to pick that back up.
It became apparent after the third loss to Duke when the team was sitting at 1-3 the record got as bad as 2-5 after Stanford that this group would have to find a new goal. There would be no playoff, no national championship. Kelly was asked if hed lost the team.
Thats when players started finding small victories in order to keep up morale.
Its just the energy, the attitudeand the leadership have been the biggest things that this team has accomplished this season, left tackle Mike McGlinchey said. Its easy to just kind of keep going into practice every day, jumping around, having fun when youre 10-1 going into the last game of your season like we were last year. This year, its obviously been a little bit harder to understand what this team is working for now.
McGlinchey has noticed a closeness, that the team actually has a tighter bond, which he says is the biggest victory we could have had.
I think it could have easily gone the wrong way, he said. And thats the biggest thing weve held onto this year.
So, why didnt it go in the wrong direction? A losing season, a defensive coordinator fired, a head coach on the hot seat, a vote of confidence from the athletic director all of those things might appear to equate an outward perception of turmoil.
Players cite the culture, senior leadership and young players wanting a role.
We havent stopped, Onwualu said. Theres not a guy on the team that I would say has quit on what this season is. They still come to work and still are trying to become better players. I think you dont really see that in a lot of other programs.

Donald Trump"s Important Meeting With Rep. Tulsi Gabbard | #CWTB
Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard says she and President-elect Trump discussed Syria and the fight against the Islamic State in her meeting with Trump on Monday, during which she implored him to avoid escalating the Syrian conflict.
"I felt it important to take the opportunity to meet with the President-elect now before the drumbeats of war that neocons have been beating drag us into an escalation of the war to overthrow the Syrian government a war which has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and forced millions of refugees to flee their homes in search of safety for themselves and their families," Gabbard said in a statement following her meeting with the president-elect.
"While the rules of political expediency would say I should have refused to meet with President-elect Trump, I never have and never will play politics with American and Syrian lives," Gabbard said.
The Hawaiian progressive is a rumored contender for Cabinet positions that include U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and secretary of veterans affairs.

Gabbard, who was one of the few elected Democrats to back Sen. Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton, said she warned Trump about the dangers of setting up a no-fly zone over Syria and encouraged him to consider ending the U.S. effort to oust the regime of Bashar Assad.
"I shared with him my grave concerns that escalating the war in Syria by implementing a so-called no fly/safe zone would be disastrous for the Syrian people, our country, and the world," Gabbard said. "It would lead to more death and suffering, exacerbate the refugee crisis, strengthen ISIS and al-Qaeda, and bring us into a direct conflict with Russia which could result in a nuclear war."
"We discussed my bill to end our country"s illegal war to overthrow the Syrian government, and the need to focus our precious resources on rebuilding our own country, and on defeating al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist groups who pose a threat to the American people," she added.
Clinton supported the creation of a no-fly zone in Syria and dismissed concerns that the policy could sharply escalate tensions between the U.S. and Russia.
Trump has suggested focusing not on the removal of Assad but on the fight against the Islamic State in his country.
Also from the Washington Examiner
President-elect Trump said he could simultaneously serve as president and continue operating his business "perfectly" and with no problems if he wanted.
During a meeting Tuesday with New York Times executives and journalists, Trump was asked about potential conflicts of interest his business empire it includes a mix of international real estate and brand licensing deals may present if he keeps ties to it while serving as president.
"In theory I could run my business perfectly and then run the country perfectly," he said, according to a Times reporter who was present and live-tweeted the meeting. "There"s never been a case like this.
