rabia. >> hi. well, good afternoon, everyone. i want to say a couple things as we head off on this extended trip. first, i think it is really important for everyone to understand that the iranians out sowing disinformation in lots of places. first, you have seen the childlike mass they put out, the excellence and professionalism of america's military should leave no doubt about where that unarmed vehicle was. it was flying in international air space and we shouldn't let the iranians have one moment

where any reporter would write that there is even a credible response to the data set that the put forward. the iranians are putting out a message, that's just false, it is pure blatant disinformation. they passed another message that said that the united states was removing forces. you can go see them, they're there. i mention all of these things because it's very important as the days proceed and as our diplomat efforts to change the nature of the iranian regime is doing go on, it is likely iran will continue to present thing that is are fraudulent, that are false. and we need to make sure that every news outlet, everyone who is seeing this understands what's true and what the iranian regime wants you to believe. that is truly important. i'm heading out today. our first stop will be in the kingdom of saudi arabia and the

united arabian emirates. two great allies. we'll be talking with them about how to make sure we are all strategically aligned and how we can build out a global coalition. a coalition not only through the gulf states but in asia and europe that understand this is challenge as it prepares to push back against the world's largest state sponsor of terror. you'll see, too, that our campaign began when president trump took office and will continue. on monday there will be a significant set of new sanctions and the world should know that we will continue to make sure it is understood that this effort that we've engaged in to deny iran the resources to foment terror, to build up their nuclear snlses and ballistic missiles systems, with we'll deny them the ability to do that, keeping people safe around the world. two other thoughts. nearly the same time that i'm

commencing my trip many people headed for bahrain where the administration will roll out the economic component of its middle east peace plan. it was released yesterday. i hope everyone will take a good look at it. it presents a bright future for palestinian people anywhere they are in the world. last night there was reporting about a letter. i can confirm the letter was sent and hopeful this will provide a good foundation to continue important discussions with the north korean to denuclearize the peninsula. >> mr. secretary. what are you looking for from iran to show? and with why don't you pick up the phone and call them? >> goodness, like the president said this morning, i think the vice president reiterated we're prepared to negotiate with no preconditions and they know precisely how to find us and i am confident at the moment

they're truly ready to engage we will begin these conversations. i am looking forward to that. the president said we want a brighter future for the people of iran. those negotiations are the gateway. that's how we'll ultimately achieve them. >> talk more about the sanctions. inaudible] >> the secretary yes, i hope so. -- second question i hope so. we think we're in a better place and i think the remarks you saw this morning suggest that may be a real possibility. we're ready to go. we're literally prepared to begin at a moment's notice if the north koreans indcailt they're prepared for discussions. today some 80 plus% of the north korean economy is

sanctioned. i think it's important to remember that this is -- the iranian economy. yes, it's sanctioned. this will be -- i don't want to get in front, but this will be a further effort to ensure that their capacity not only to grow their economy but to evade sanctions becomes more and more difficult. it will be an important addition to our capacity to enforce sanctions against iran to ultimately achieve the objective we've laid out. >> what happens? >> look the president will make a decision. i'm not going to address hypotheticals. i hope the iranians will understand that the world won't tolerate this. it is not just the united states. the world understand whose the aggressor is here. they understand that it's the islamic republic of iran, has for four decades conducted assassination campaigns, terrorist act vivets, attempted to influence four capitals.

a series of bad actors. their leadership has taken them in a direction that their people surely do not want. how we respond to any particular act that they take, the president will decide when we get there. thank you all very much. i look forward to traveling with you all. >> the united nations security council is expected to meet omorrow on iran. >> this week c-span's nakesnakes interviewed mike rodders, ranking member of the house homeland security committee. he talked about the absence of the senate-confirmed defense secretary. >> you have concerns though that we are now seven months of having ang acting defense secretary trump will have to go back to the drawing board and find a new nominee to head up the pentagon full time especially at this time of increased activity in the persian gulf and with north korea and plus you have

thousands of migrants showing up on our southern border. do you have concerns about the fact that we have no permanent senate-confirmed defense secretary? >> i do. i mean, the fact is i was concerned before this change that secretary shanahan was in an acting role. this is the largest organization on the planet. they need a confirmed secretary leading it. i am also very disappointed that secretary shanahan is resigning. he was a first-notch, top-notch secretary, very complet tent doing a great job. i think it is just awful that he has had to pull back to protect his family from what he was going through. but the secretary is going to be great. i hope the senate will confirm him soon. he'll do a great job. but we don't need to have these acting secretaries in charge of these large organizations.

it is just not helpful at all. >> representative rogers also talked about the latest on iran, immigration, and border security funding. later today at 6:00 p.m. it's also at c-span.org and on our free c-span radio app. >> i view political cartooning almost like advertising on television. you have about five seconds to capture attention and another five seconds to delive the point. with television you're selling a product. with political cartoons you're selling an idea. >> tonight, oven q&a, michael ramirez on his career in his book of cartoons. >> i have to say the clintons are probably my favorite political family and i won my first pulitzer on 94 on the back of that administration. when you take a care catur of somebody you're changing the

dynamics of their features not only to make them into a cartoon but to show sort of the dynamics of their personality as well. >> tonight at 8:00 eastern on q&a. >> joining us from phoenix is the executive director of seeking educational excellence kevin jackson thanks for being here with us. >> my pleasure. >> this is the headline from fox news as the president delays the planned ice raids to see if congress can solve the border crisis. here are some of the details. the president announcing yesterday that a planned mass roundup of illegal immigrants by the immigration and customs anforcement being delay for two weeks. coming at the request of the house speaker nancy pelosi on friday who asked him to hold off. what's next? >> i think it's an interesting

turn of events and i think it's part of trump's negotiation strategy with the democrats. quite frankly, a lot of people are sort of looking for this. remember when donald trump did the raids to get rid of the gang members and democrats complained about that. now, i believe this particular set of raids was based on people who had visa overstays or didn't come back to court for their hearings. i think that again donald trump is targeting people that most of america would look at and say these are the folks that need to be put back -- sent back home and possibly taken a look at for deportation. so i think it's a strategic political move for donald trump to do what he's doing. as far as what's next i think he will follow through with it. i believe that the democrats continue to stonewall this issue, that everybody has agreed at one point in the past to take a look at in terms of border security and illegal immigration, and donald trump is saying we're no longer going

to kick the can. so i think it's a very strategic political move in terms of what he's done. brur is it realistic that democrats and republicans who have so far had an impass on this issue can reach any consensus over the next two weeks? >> doust -- doubtful. i'm not making this a partisan issue. just look at it from the standpoint of what's happened in the past. democrats don't want to solve this issue because they had eight years to take advantage and they certainly had two years where they controlled all of congress. i don't believe they're genuine in doing so. i think they now understand that donald trump is very serious about it so that could bring them to the table a little more. but they're really not looking for a solution. so i think trump will have to force their hand what will happen in these two weeks? a lot of americans are anxious to see can donald trump bring the democrats to the table? it's a difficult task to do

that. >> the other headline this morning from the "washington post" the iran crisis abates but the prospect of a conflict does persist including the confirmation of a cyber attack against iranian targets and the president sitting down with chuck todd moderater of meet the press which airs later today. asked about what happened on thursday. >> did you green light something or had you said if we do it i'll do this? >> nothing is green lighted until the very end because things change. >> you never gave a final order. >> no. but we had something ready to go subject to my approval. they came in about a half hour before. so they're about ready to go. i said i want a better definition. >> we're about ready to go. no but they would have been pretty soon. and things would have happened to a point where you wouldn't turn back or couldn't turn back. so they came and they said we're ready to go we would like

a decision. i want to know something before you go how many people will be killed? in this case iranians. i said how many people are going to be killed? sir i would like to get back to you on that. great people these generals. they said came back and said, sir, approximately 150. i thought about it for a second and i said you know what? they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after i said go ahead. >> from nbc's meet the press, one of the five sunday show that is we air every sunday beginning at noon eastern time on c-span radio. i want to get your reaction to what the president said in this editorial from the "wall street journal." iran calls trump's bluff. the commander in chief ordered ships and planes into battle but recalled them because he had not asked in advance what

the damage and casualties might be. while the planes are in the air he asked by the way this is hard to take at face value. more likely he changed his mind because he had second thoughts about the military and political consequences in engaging he promised to avoid. mr. trump may have saved iranian lives now but his indecision and professed fear of casualty may be risking more american lives later. this is a board that typically has supported donald trump on the issues. your reaction? >> i think the "wall street journal" completely miss it had boat here. i think donald trump made the best political decision of his career and he explained it. he's not going to trade a piece of metal and ewlecttronics for the lives of 150 people. and that i believe with was probably one of the most politically astute things he's done in a while. i think this is a setup. i don't know how the background situation developed but the idea that donald trump would kill 150 people over that.

and yes it was a serious incident if it was shot down over international waters sure but there are better ways to handle that. donald trump -- and i've said this quite a while. he's going to deal with most of the world's issues through the economic angle and he's going to use america's great economy to deal with this. and let's face it iran is in shambles back in the latter part of 2017 and the riots began over $300 carton of eggs for 20 eggs and then it slowly metastasized over a riot over the government that started saying stop supporting syria. then down with hezbollah. then they went after the mullas. so this has become a political issue that donald trump -- i called it a passive-aggressive attack on jap within the economy. let's face it there many middle eastern country that is will not deal with iran now.

it's the pressure from donald trump. at one point it had been so volatile in 2018 with riots again and even escalating to truckers and water rights with the lake. so donald trump has done a lot to destabilize iran that has made them enter into a level of desperation. i think they were trying to trigger donald trump to shoot down a drone and kill 150 people so they could call him a war monger and all the democrats said that he was. and that leads back to a lot of the back-channel communications between john kerry and many others that maybe we should be taking a look at from the hatch act perspective. >> but back to one other point from the "wall street journal." going back to another point from "the wall street journal," "after president obama enforce his redline,

adversaries he is volatility, calling kim jong-un crazy, calling him a swell guest: again, more editorial nonsense. donald trump is going to negotiate in a haphazard way, but i think a lot of americans , the agree with me on this donald trump foreign policy has or -- success. goes, they cannot take any credit or feel that they can take a victory dance overshooting down a drone when

you look at the sort of -- i would call it the triage that's happening in their economy at this point and will continue. i think it was more of an active to gettion for them trump's attention. well, they got his attention but they may well find out that having his attention is that where you want to be. when you compare his foreign policy, and i'm not trying to play pundit, i'm just looking at this in terms of success versus questionthere is no that his foreign policy as he double with china and korea, with his take on dealing with iran and using the american economy to do such, using the american economy to deal with with a host of other things around the world, no question that he has been a much more successful president

than barack obama. you carry a number of different hats. you are a current fellow at the dole institute in kansas. what's the black sphere? guest: a brand started by me years ago, more of an engineering term of taking the best thought and putting it in a sphere, which holds the most of volume and space. so, it was a brand built around that. what it was really centered was more pragmatic thinking. that's essentially what i challenge people to do. people call me republican or conservative, but i wear a hat that says i will think my way logically into or out of an issue in that is why i keep pointing out that the opinions i'm expressing have no political view whatsoever, they are just pragmatic. on your website, joe biden

will not be the democrats nominate. -- nominee. why? guest: there is a trend line. when joe biden started the race, he was 40%. he had many things going for him in terms of name recognition. he was running on the sales of barack obama. biden has a host of problems that will prevent him from becoming president. i don't think he will be the democrat's nominee. biden is trending in the low 30's. you looks on the polls at. he is now under attack for racially insensitive remarks, thinks he should have been under attack for and never selected as barack obama's vice president. i heard many of your callers while i was waiting to come on,

blacks that understand the racial history of the democratic party and how they relate to biden and his support of james .astland and george wallace even looking at those things and saying they are from the past, there are many things biden has said presently that make you understand he does not understand the level of racial sensitivity in america, and he has gotten a pass because he is a democrat. if donald trump were friends and actually professed to be friendly with the gentleman i mentioned, john stennis, eastland, george wallace, he would rightfully be labeled a racist. these are people that were considered to be the voice of the south. they signed the southern manifesto. they were rabid segregationists, racists. biden actually gives them

accolades. george wallace and his stance on certain things. these are things donald trump could not get away with, nor should he get away with. i think as people take a more circumspect look at joe biden, he is not the person they are going to bring forward. i think biden has contradictions with respect to the meeting movement. many women within the democratic party are looking at joe biden and saying he has probably done far worse with women than donald trump. show one poll with biden, and i think that is a telling graphic. those people that are not supporting biden are the people that i think will support donald trump. i think the black vote will support donald trump in numbers that will rival his numbers in 2016. host: you are also on the web, kj radio.

how often is your program appearing? guest: every day for two hours today. we talk about issues from a pragmatic and the reverend point of view. the show is humor based. if there is one issue that i want to cover, it is seeking educational excellence. we want to get young minorities looking at the science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum versus the social justice that is being taught in colleges. we are exporting the worst in america by talking about social justice issues versus educating our children. when we look at these types of issues, and i will use the minimum wage as an example. the left doesn't hold any african countries or middle eastern countries to a minimum wage standard or fair wage or livable wage. there are people in this country

that are talking about having a birthright wage. not talked about in any country in africa or the middle east. all the things they talk about for america are things that leftist would never ask to be limited in things like africa. when we look at social justice, we look at the diversity in america. look at the homogeneity of african countries or middle eastern countries or central american countries. talk to me about my diverse the u.s. needs to be. the u.s. is not ruled by whites. it is very much a heterogeneous society. you look at countries in africa or thee 95% african, native people, and democrats never complain about diversity there. it is a double standard america should not have to deal with. when you look at college and education, we are teaching kids the wrong things. instead of teaching them things

that will give them careers, we teach them something that contribute nothing to the fabric of the country that has embraced every culture, race, creed. that is the passion of our organization. seeking educational excellence. kjradio.com.site, our guest, kevin jackson, speaking to us from phoenix. republicans.1 for (202) 748-8000 for democrats. we welcome our viewers and listeners on the bbc parliament channel, which carries this program every sunday afternoon. for independents (202) 748-8002. our friend robert barnes on the 71st birthday for justice clarence thomas, the supreme court's longest-serving member.

let's go to gina in kentucky. good morning. caller: hello? host: thank you for waiting. good morning. caller: hello, kevin. how are you this morning? guest: i am fine. thank you. caller: great. i have followed you for a while now. i must say i agree with you 100%. as a black female, i tell you i think it is best for us to be pragmatic in our thinking, not to be monolithic. i tell you when i look around and hear the things that are going on today, especially with the liberals going there is no way i would support that. i think we are in a situation, a lot of us are as black conservatives, where we cannot even speak out because we are being ridiculed. it is refreshing, and it is good to see someone like you to be a voice and come forth.

i want to tell you i support you , and i just support black conservatism. i know there will probably be some calls behind me that will ridiculed you. i know you are used to that. host: thank you for the call. you can respond to what she was saying, but some recent polling, and only a snapshot, so much can change in presidential politics. looking at democrats against president trump. at the moment, former vice president joe biden defeating him across the country by 10 points. senator sanders up 9. senator warren up 2. senator harris up 1. this was from a fox news poll released in june. guest: fox is completely wrong in this poll. i do not know who they polled.

a lot of conservatives are no longer paying as much attention to fox as they were in the past. that is completely wrong. the trump campaign has nothing to worry about outside of voter fraud and electioneering and cheating. donald trump has a track record of success that is impacting black, quite frankly all americans. the democratic base, blacks and latinos, are not being impacted, and these poll numbers are completely skewed. i would challenge democrats. continue to believe those numbers if you want them but you likehave a very sad day you did on november 9, 2016. the caller that just called in and complimented me, i appreciate that. she is symptomatic of a lot of blacks that are out there. many of them have hidden in the shadows.

there are people like myself who are very vocal about not supporting the democratic party, not even based on historical issues, but based on what they are doing to people today. you look at the policies like reparations. they have been talking about reparations for decades. every year, somebody trots out reparations like it is martin luther king's birthday. they are certainly doing it right now in the time of donald trump because they cannot point to anything that donald trump has done negatively to impact blacks. donald trump has done so much positive for blacks, including lowest unemployment in history, but one of the biggest issues blacks have wanted address, and i know this is not a holistic thing for blacks, but many people understand this, criminal justice reform. donald trump started the first step act, which essentially

allows lacks coming out of prison to begin to rebuild their lives again. that he did the second chance part of that, which is going to reunite black men with their families and allow them to get back into the mainstream. i don't think people understand how bad the criminal justice system has impacted black people in this country and destroyed families. donald trump has been more pro-black than barack obama. complimentedn donald trump. this is not going unnoticed in the black community. many callers are starting to echo my sentiment. it has nothing to do with politics, republican or democrat. it has to do with actual concrete successes that are happening in the black community under donald trump. you can have that polling. i have seen msnbc on morning

joe, they were ridiculing donald trump with those numbers. have your fun now. i am telling you, in 2020, in light of what happens with the mueller situation, which i believe is america's biggest con job, many folks will go with donald trump. host: herbert is next from virginia. thank you for waiting. caller: good morning. mr. kevin johnson, i was trying to let him know -- i am retired. i was born in liberty city. i want to see that 12 quote wall that 12 quote wall that separated -- 12-foot wall that separated blacks from whites in the city. thing, mr. jackson, whatever you all have done for

the blacks in the republican party, you don't even have elected officials. you have one black senator. you can't even bring the votes. if you can't bring the votes. you can't be a factor. all black republicans ever did. that is why he gets more response to him than you would. get more black officials locally, federally, and state in your party, and then you can show me the difference. you have to do better than the 87% what americans you all have got. host: thank you for the call. guest: in response, i would say first of all he's probably go back and look at the history of the republican party, who has put more blacks in office during reconstruction than democrats would even think to put in. democrats put token blacks in

office. the congressional black caucus, which supposedly represents blacks, is anti-black. if you want to think about it as black conservatives versus black liberals, black liberals had barack obama in office and eight years of bliss, and nothing got accomplished for blacks. there's nothing you can point debt to say that blacks improved in any way, shape, or form. he wants the point fingers at donald trump in the republican party. described was a problem brought on by democrats. thejim crow laws, all problems keeping blacks from voting, from having businesses were done by democrats. look at any major city in america today. i would ask herbert to test me on this. call back in.

look at any major city, they are run by democrats. there is not a republican insight. these cities concentrate blacks in disproportionate numbers. most cities are 60% or higher. baltimore, cleveland, cincinnati, atlanta. every problem that is faced in the black community, whether you look at the crime rate, the poverty rate, all of them are brought on by democrats. show me a white face, a republican in any one of these cities where these problems exist where there is a wall between black and whites, and i will defer. the very wall that was built in the early days where democrats separated blacks, there is an invisible wall in every city. joe biden talked about it. in the black parts of my town is . joe biden talked about.

joe biden talked about the black part of this town is if you have to get a visa to go to africa in the black part of his town. that is the level of ridiculousness. democrats have cornered blacks into thinking we have to live in certain parts of town. there is a good side of town and a black part of town. there is not a republican to be seeing whenever that rhetoric is being used. if you want to play in a republican that is what we have been doing. it has gotten us nowhere. if you want to solve the problem, look at donald trump. he brought three black men back from china, the barack obama probably could not have gotten back. he freed a black woman, incarcerated, due to kim kardashian's efforts. all things i just pointed out to herbert, and he ignored. he has given blacks the lowest unemployment, the highest

housing ownership, business starts. i just talked about that. he is addressing the drug issue and opioid prices. he is reuniting families in american. not the border families democrats worry about, but bringing black men out of prison so they can rebuild their lives. herbert is asking me what else needs to be done? it is ridiculous. our guest is kevin jackson, a syndicated radio talk show host. you made reference to democrats electing token blacks as you put it. would you consider senators kamala harris and cory booker, jim clyburn as token blacks? guest: i do. i consider the blacks being put into place, they are not representative of what blacks really think. they are people that are put in place to marginalize the black community. they have stolen the initiative.

they have stolen the joy from black lives and pretending they care about the black community. ocasio any place, where cortez talked about concentration trends, look at any black community and tell me you don't see concentration camps. do you see any major businesses going into the black parts of joe biden's town? do you see opportunities being offered to the black parts of town's? when we talk about police and justice, who is over all of this? the mayors are not only democrats, they are black democrats. black democrats are creating their own problems, and people like herbert say let's blame donald trump. donald trump is nowhere in the mix. neither was george bush or ronald reagan or any other republican.

these cities have been run by the same people for decades. the democrats don't want to take the blame for it. i say this will be the biggest fdr.since 1936 under it will not be that dramatic. you will not see the shift of 95% of blacks who formerly floated republican going to 75% democrat, but you will see a very big shift. the blacks finally understand it is not about party. it is about results. host: should president trump apologize to the central park five? in 1989, just 10 days after the incident, before the trial, he said those involved should face the death penalty. he said he hated them. they have since been exonerated, the president will not apologize for what he said. guest: i have not been to speak on something like that. i don't know enough about the case to say anything personally. if these gentlemen were not

guilty, i think he probably should. i would. in terms of his thought process that is his own personal opinion. i don't care to comment. host: let's go to james in pittsburgh with kevin jackson in arizona. caller: god bless you. thank you for loving me speak. my name is tim. don't cut me off. you have some uneducated people that speak. i'm a white yankee, and jim crow has destroyed me. i threw up in juvenile detention center. i'm on welfare. i'm 53 years old. i turned 21 in prison. the confederates stole my lane. they stole my dignity. i am white. i am tired of hearing about human beings being black, being white. they are human beings. i know about reconstruction. i will be anybody in an iq test,

including joe biden, donald trump. i am independent. if we don't get a third-party, we're going to get a third war. i will challenge anyone to an iq test on democracy. go ahead. ask me a question. host: i will let your comment stand. i will get a reaction from kevin. guest: james seems to have a very high view of himself. congratulations. america is not a democracy. america is a constitutional republic. i think i just won that iq test. host: marshall in north carolina. caller: good morning. donald trump made a fortune, and he lied and put a lot of people out of business because of his dishonesty. apartments and stuff, and he was caught and

convicted for not writing to blacks -- renting to blacks. why don't you mention that? you are praising him. you are doing the wrong thing. all blacks know he is prejudiced against blacks. he was convicted and fined in court for not writing to blacks. he was convicted. he is prejudiced. that.ow i don't appreciate your comments. host: thank you, marshall. guest: i certainly got the uncle tom reference. the book marshall read on uncle tom. he will find he was a good guy. thank you for this night,. i suggest you do a little more research. there were a lot of people sued

in that case against donald trump. up that case,ing but they won't talk about al sharpton in jesse jackson giving for all the awards things he did for the black community in new york. that flip this and say marshall did no research on hillary clinton and her racism, her support of planned parenthood, calling margaret sanger an idol, a woman who called black people human week. i bet marshall is going to vote for whoever the democrats nominate, who has no idea of the history of the democrats racism. he is not looking at the results. he wants to play tit-for-tat. you're going to lose, marshall. if you want to believe donald trump was a racist, and you want to talk about the idea of him being a successful person, the young black kid growing up poor,

i emulated people like donald trump. before he became president, so did most of the rappers. he is probably one of the most mentioned white people in rap music. donald trump got a $1 million loan from his father. how much money have you loaned your son to start his business. i can tell you how much my father loaned me. he was in san quentin prison. when he got out that he asked me for $250 that i never got back. son is anoading his investment. his son took that investment and made himself into a billion air, giving many people jobs, including thousands of black people. you seem to ignore that because you've got talking points. all you've got our talking points. that is the sad part about this than.

-- think. most of the black leftists are not listening to it nonpolitically. there are listening to a three john disappears. they are listening to the pundits. i can give them 50 reasons the democratic party is racist, and they will ignore them. other people are listening. it is starting to get through. that is what i am most proud of host: james -- most proud of. host: james on the phone. caller: i am listening to you, and i respect your views. i respect any black republican, independent, or democrat. what is listening to you earlier, you were saying something like democrats is offering immigration problem. i think it is both, democrats independents and republicans at fault for immigration. you were saying something about the democrats.

you and i know the democratic party goes back to history. you try to equate the past to the present. it is not the same democratic party it was in the past. it is hard to conflate those two issues together. i understand what you are saying about as far as black republicans trying to do the best they can. we are not monolithic in our way of thinking. we are just trying to pick the best person for the job. that is it. i'm not going to try to personalize the current president with the former president. with barack obama, u.s. saying he did nothing for blacks. before barack obama left office, he gave pardons to a whole lot of blacks that came out of prison. it is hard to say democrats did this, democrats did that. i think both parties are at blame for the black situation or the white situation. i respect her views.

--your views. listening. host: thank you for the call. guest: thank you for the compliments. thank you for the call. with respect to barack obama freeing blacks on his departure, that is wonderful for those individuals. the problem is what did he do for blacks as a whole? we are almost 50% of the prison population and 13% of the population of america. barack obama should have made no justice reform one of his big issues, but he did not. it took donald trump to come in to start working on this problem with the four step program and the second chance program. that is not something a racist does. to marshall, that is not what they do. i agree with james that this problem with immigration has been a republican and democratic problem because nobody wanted to address it.

paul ryan is as feckless as any of the democrats in addressing the issue. donald trump addressing the immigration problem the way it needs to be something which is deporting the people who are solved, which is deporting the people who are here illegally, donald trump is trying to address it, and the democrats are fighting him at every turn. that is a fact. that is just the truth. when i look at the problems in the black community, if i want to address the final point about who is to blame, i look at the number of black babies killed in the black community as ia direct result of democratic policy. it is a result of planned parenthood. black women have 300% more abortions per capita than any other group. there is a reason for that. it has to do with the eugenics

movement and the extermination of blacks. we were 19.2% of the population at the turn of the 19th century. we are now below 13%. it is a direct result of planned parenthood. you look at the problems plaguing the black community. housing substandard have a democrat anywhere in high where these -- crime, substandard housing, you show me a democrat anywhere inside where these problems exist. is ittop worrying about republicans or democrats. in this case, you will find more blacks and people in general who is a person who will get the job done. he is not doing it based on black or white. he is lifting the ocean so all the boats rise. he is doing that around the
