The group also talks about why politicians have used 'Russia-gate' and the tendency of Americans to trust military generals despite John Kelly's Civil War comments and tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security.
In the third segment Dr. Raymond A. Winbush, Research Professor and Director of the Institute for Urban Research at Morgan State University, to talk about John Kelly's efforts to revise Civil War history, the Trump administration's ability to continue to hold up ideas of American exceptionalism, and America's refusal to grapple with the atrocities upon which it was founded.

The group also talks about the compromises leading up to the US Civil War, the caution in elevating military generals to a place of civilian authority and leadership, the anger and fear many white Americans feel, and the difficulties of scaling up peacebuliding and conflict resolution projects.
