2:00 am
history.com. i'm mike huckabee in for bill o'reilly. and please remember, the spin stops here, because we're looking out for you. welcome to this brand-new special studio audience edition of hannity, now we're looking at race relations and the george zimmerman trial. and now that the case has been closed and the defendant has been found not guilty, the controversial topic is once again been thrust to the forefront of the debate surrounding this trajs. . >> you know, when trayvon martin was first shot, i said that this could have been any son. another way of saying that is trayvon martin could have been me 35 years ago.
2:01 am
and when you think about why in the african-american community at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here, i think it's important to recognize that the african-american community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences. and a history. that doesn't go away. there are very few african-american men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. that includes me. there are very few african-american men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. that happens to me, at least before i was a senator.
2:02 am
there are very few african-americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she has a chance to get off. that happens often. and, you know, i don't want to exaggerate this, but those sets of experiences inform how the african-american community interprets what happened one night in florida. >> now this is of course not the first time the racial aspects of this case have been brought up in the media and elsewhere, let's take a look at some of the racially charged rhetoric that has emerged in the wake of the verdicts. >> even though i was expecting it, i'm still numbed because i'm taken back to emmett till and
2:03 am
all those situations where we understand that black life means a little bit less than white life in america. >> it's an incontrovertible contempt that this nation often shows and displays for black men. >> that's how we feel when it comes to race. les we do this, white americans and others will feel this is a justifiable verdicts. not until, and unless a number of white kids die that approximate the number of black and other kids who die will america see. >> and joining me now, my esteemed audience of legal and political analysts, especially bok bob bickle who's been complaining since we started. can anybody here cite any evidence in the case, not your hypothesis, not your theory that this case was racial, if you can, raise your hand. >> he followed him, he racially profiled him, from the beginning. >> give me the evidence, that's a theory. evidence. >> his heart may have been in the right place, but our brains tell us to do something
2:04 am
differently because in this country we are socialized to be afraid of black mention. >> i don't what to interrupt you. >> heart rate monitors and that's what that fear that was going through george zimmerman when he followed him and stopped him and we have a history of being -- >> that's your theory, where's the evidence? >> the last seven people that he called 911 on were all black kids. are you kidding me? if that kid were white, do you think he would be dead, are you kidding me? >> i think he would be dead if he punched him and got on zimmerman. you can inject race into this case all you want, there was no evidence of it all. >> all aspects of our life. and we have got to acknowledge it. >> you can't just say a black person died therefore it's a racial issue.
2:05 am
>> all right, let me -- hey, let me calm the waters for a second. hang on one second. i'm asking, that's your theory, that's your theory. but what we're looking for is evidence. peter johnson, you're a lawyer, you have to bring evidence into a court of law. where's the evidence? >> there was no bias or animus or anything. the investigators did an investigation about a year ago. they interviewed witnesses, they found no bias, animus or racism on the part of george zimmerman. so bob bickle can make a statement that's based on his own presumption, his own loud mouth, it's not true. there's no evidentiary basis. >> what about all the kids he racially profiled. do you think he would do that to white kids? >> on the basis of race, there's no evidence, bob.
2:06 am
you can say it. >> david webb in the back. >> first of all the only racist or close to racist comment that was made was crazy ass cracker. the break ins were done by black, so therefore if you're profiling by thug or by instances, you would look and say if there are more blacks you look for it. profiling is a tool. racism is different than profiling and unfortunately, what jamu and bob are talking about is that the jesse jackson like race industry, that says everything's about race, america's a race nation. >> i want to ask you a question, because if this was a crime ridden neighborhood, david's right, most of the crimes were committed by black men leading up to this incident. but he was close to the house, he wasn't walking on the sidewalk, i suspect to get out of the rain. that's my theory. >> i don't think that there was
2:07 am
enough -- firsts of all, racial profiling is not just, it's not legal. the new jersey state troopers got in trouble for profiling african-americans just because they had a particular identity of who was committing these crimes doesn't mean that all african-americans are guilty of robbing houses, but my legal mind says there's no evidence of racism. but i think what's going on in the black community is people are feeling that there's a heightened legal of fear of black men that's caused this. >> the media created this, if you'll remember, the media created white versus black. in all reality, zimmerman is hispanic and he's a white hispanic. >> a white hispanic and a self proclaimed hispanic. >> his mother is from peru. because this is something we can't do anymore, we can't say white versus black. because we're so much of a blended society. so media created this racial
2:08 am
problem with this case. >> what's really concerning is how we see those on the left continue to play the race card. the ruling has been handed down. there was -- investigations were done, it was proven that he wasn't racist with this issue. it's a sad tragedy, but it's not just the left -- you also have the naacp, for example, who was continuing to beat the drum that this was a racial issue, i was at the convention last week and i heard a lot of nonsense that was dictated to people in the audience and really they were being brainwashed. so people need to think for themselves, look at the facts that were on the table and not follow the crowd. >> i have brought this up, and i'll throw this to bob bickle and i know your dad fought in the civil rights movement and you did when you were a young man. but somebody who takes a black woman to the prom, mentors black men for free in his spare time, that stood up for a homeless
2:09 am
black man at the new jersey police department. >> after i have been brutally attacked here by the barrister. i believe that the evidence that was presented, i agree that there was -- the guy -- there was no evidence of racism. i agree with that. it wasn't brought in, it should have been. i agree with the jury's verdict. but that doesn't change the fact that what's going on in this country, that you suggest that people shouldn't react, black people shouldn't react? and then you take these few instances of violence in the demonstrations, when most of them were completely peaceful. >> bob and others who feel that -- he would have the same exacts rights of self-defense. that's what this case came down
2:10 am
to legally in the state of florida, the prosecution has the burden to prove that george zimmerman was racist. what i found was that people are ignorant and are making statements about the case that didn't follow it didn't read the transcripts. >> 2 people who change america know the law and they have been told all of these arguments before. but if you go back to montgomery, people heard the same things, you have to look at the business, you have to look at the facts, the reality is this, this is not a legal question any longer, it's a justice question. we're not talking about the trial, we're talking about today. >> the jurors were -- >> we're not talking about the jurors. don't grin, stan. >> guys, one at a time.
2:11 am
>> here's what people will try to do, status quo will change this subject. but the fact of the matter is, that americans are outraged and are going to do something about it. >> what does that mean? do what? >> change is coming, right now. we're going to change the fact that black young people are being -- >> what are you going to do? >> we're going to impact public policy. this has happened before. this is the 15th anniversary of the -- >> people are making the mistakes that know something about the facts. the protests here are not about that trayvon martin was killed. there's not a lot of protests going on. people are upset about the investigation. people are empanelled to -- what's wrong in this case. don't make george zimmerman a hero. i have heard people do that too, that's crazy. what needs to be done is those
2:12 am
ridiculous stand your ground laws need to be changed. but you can't put that on this case or this jury. >> there's a lot of conversations about the law in this case. the law is irrelevant to the race hustlers and political opportunists who have been plan fanning the flames of this case. what they have done is what the left has done for decades, which is that they need the division, they have divided us by race, class, gender, ethnic groups, age, they continue to do it because they need the divisions in order to divide and concur. it's not about bringing america together. it's about dividing us. >> we'll come back to our studio audience i promise in mere seconds. but first we're going to stop to remember the real reason we're here tonight, and we're going to talking about trayvon martin. the family attorney darrell parks will join me in the
2:13 am
2:14 am
the great outdoors... ...and a great deal. thanks to dad. nope eeeeh... oh, guys let's leave the deals to hotels.com. ooh that one! nice. got it! oh my gosh this is so cool... awesome! perfect! yep, and no angry bears. the perfect place is on sale now. up to 40% off. only at hotels.com it's hard to describe, because you have a numbness, but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot. it was progressively getting worse, and at that point i knew i had to do something. once i started taking the lyrica the pain started subsiding. [ male announcer ] it's known that diabetes damages nerves.
2:15 am
lyrica is fda approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is not for everyone. it may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or skin sores from diabetes. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don'drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. ask your doctor about lyrica today. it's specific treatment for diabetic nerve pain.
2:17 am
painted with a broad brush and the excuse is given, well there are these statistics out there that show that african-american boys are more violent. using that as an excuse to then see their sons treated differently causes pain. i think the african-american community is also not naive in understanding that statistically someone like trayvon martin was probably more statistically more likely to be shot by a peer than he was by somebody else. so folks understand the challenges that exist for african-american boys. but they get frustrated, i think, if they feel that there's no context for it. and that context is being denied. and that all contributes, i
2:18 am
think, to a sense that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario that from top to bottom both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different. now the question for me, at least, and i think for a lot of folks is, where do they take this? how do we learn some lessons for this and move in a positive direction. >> before we talk about race relations and the zimmerman trial. we can't forget that trayvon martin was a boy and lost his life. good to see you, thank you for being here. let me go, you and the family made this statement, let me play it for our audience.
2:19 am
>> lets be clear about this, very clear, this family does not want race as a part of this process and does not believe it should be a part of this process. >> do you feel the same way now? >> i do. and let me explain, sean, that same day, we heard don west say to rachel genteel that trayvon injected race into this case. this family understands that in our judicial system you never want race to be a part of the system to make people choose sides when you're in front of a jury. but it would be intellectually dishonest to say that frthere's not a racial bias there. you don't want anybody in a trial that has a racial bias whatsoever. >> what is the evidence of this racial undertone that you're talking about? >> i think for lawyers who try cases, it's so important that you understand jury intellect. when you listen to what that juror said about describing
2:20 am
rachel genteel and that because she was uneducated that -- >> they said she wasn't a good witness. >> don't associate uneducated with being untruthful. just because a person may not be as smart as you that that person cannot be truthful. because you and i know that's not true. >> the fbi opened an investigation 16 months ago, they interviewed 40 people. no evidence whatsoever that george zimmerman had any racial an th antipathy or animosity in his heart. >> the state's attorney decides if charges are brought or not. that's how it goes in our country. >> do you have a problem with them reopening this, because it seems they didn't like the verdict they got in this case so they're going to go at it a
2:21 am
different way? >> that's how it works in this country. let's say for example drug cr e crimes, the state is choose to prosecute, the feds can choose to prosecute. it happens every day. >> one juror that you refer to, they concluded that that scream was from george zimmerman. doesn't it make sense considering that he had a broken nose? >> one thing we know that the guy who really lost the case was the guy with the gunshot wound. >> the one thing that i'm sure it's difficult for you and the martins to have to grasp. i think this is a tragic misunderstanding. i think trayvon was close to the house to get out of the rain. i think george sees someone he doesn't know in the neighborhood, and there the two collide. and the eyewitness puts trayvon on top of george, broken nose,
2:22 am
lacerations, beaten up, he played a part in what happened here, trayvon did. >> two things, though, number one, he told his friends that if trayvon was on top that trayvon was up by his arm pilts. george described the gun as being back here. when he tried to describe it in his re-creation of what happened, is not physically possible. so i believe this story is totally not truthful. >> that's such a minute detail that you try to get in the middle. i can't remember what i said five minutes ago to bob bickle. you try to get somebody in the heat of the moment to remember something, you're getting into specifics i don't think you can get into. >> at this point i do agree with the juror, the point that really matters in this case is those very last few seconds when they were fighting in terms of what was going on between the two of them. george knows that the cops are on their way. >> don't you think that eric holder is now talking about safe retreat. we learned in this case that in
2:23 am
the state of florida, black floridians have used the stand your ground law double the percentage of their population with a higher success rate than white floridians, so is it good to get rid of that law? >> we have also seen the chances of a white person succeeding on stand your ground when -- >> the black floridians have done better than the white floridi floridians. >> if y-- >> is there going to be a federal case filed? >> we did not include george in that part of the case and we have a right to go after him if we choose to. that's a more involved process. certainly stand your ground could play a role in it. we have to look at that as well. >> you're not going to sit next to bickle are you? >> i'll sit next to anybody out
2:24 am
there. >> i'll turn things over to our studio audience and political expertses and political comment ta tate fors. we'll talk to someone who's plans to attend those rallies plans to attend those rallies and find out what he i'm gonna have to ask you to power down your little word game. i think your friends will understand. oh...no, it's actually my geico app...see? ...i just uh paid my bill. did you really? from the plane?
2:25 am
2:28 am
vigils and protests and some of that stuff is just going to have to work its way through as long as it remains nonviolent. if i see any violence, i will remind folks that that dishonors what happened to trayvon martin and his family. >> in just a moment we'll go back to our studio audience, protests are expected in over 100 cities on saturday, in what has been called the trayvon national day of action. nbc news host al sharpton who's behind these rallies says that the case against george zimmerman is far from over, even though a jury found him 100% innocent last weekend. what they hope to achieve from the protests from the zion search the pastor, and also joaning us cleo monongo who will be joining us in the justice for
2:29 am
trayvon rally. cleo, well us why. >> because the community is outraged and concerned about what happened to young trayvon and the community is in an uproar and we want to make sure that some constructive outcomes come from this process. i heard your comments about a theory of people not speaking about this in terms of theory. but one thing that's not a theory at all is a young man who was minding his own business, was trapped and died. he wasn't doing anything wrong. >> i got to interrupt you, because that's your theory. >> it's not a theory that he was minding his own business. >> yit's a not a theory that he was innocent. >> actually we are, because it's illegal to break somebody's nose, jump on top of them and beat the crap out of them. >> what i was saying was that she was walking down the street minding his own business before
2:30 am
somebody came up on him and didn't even know and accused him of something. he went to get some tea and skittles, which was an innocent thing to do. and he was on his way home, which was an innocent things to do. >> but you still, because you don't like the fact that maybe a guy is looking and checking you out, that doesn't give you the right to break his nose. it doesn't give you the right to jump on top of him and beat the crap out hof him. >> if i was accusing you of something, you might be defensive because suddenly you were a crook and all you wanted to do was get some tea. it's hard to sit through something like that and just be calm. >> i think it's a horrible misunderstanding, but the moment that trayvon, and i'll throw this to the pastor, actively and
2:31 am
physically engaged and went after zimmerman. >> that's a theory. >> i agree there's no evidence to suggest, the only injuries until the shooting were to george zimmerman. pastor, i want you to jump in here and give me your thoughts. >> well, i think initially your question was why are we doing these rallies? >> yes. >> i hate that they call them protests. it's actually a time for us to come together. greater zion has been doing this for 13 years, we have seen our share of violence and we have seen our share of bloodshed. so the purpose of bringing these rallies together is to galvanize the community and to call them together and to call them to think about our conscious state when we think about other people and life and the value of life. i think that's what this is all about. when you cross the line and you kill someone and you take a life, then you really have to start saying what's wrong with that person's concept. i know without a shadow of a
2:32 am
doubt if anyone was being followed, if anyone was being harassed, then they would turn around and defend themselves. that doesn't make it right, it doesn't make it okay, but that's something that some people will do when they're under pressure. but the purpose of this rally is to bring people together and cause them to rethink. >> if you live in an area that's high crime and you see somebody you don't know and that person is close to a house and there's been a lot of robberies, it's kind of logical to think, uh-oh, here we go again. and i think amount of people are dismissing that. so i don't think george zimmer mba's intent here was to do anything but protect his neighborhood. and after this nobody's going to want to do this. there are four examples now, we got one in baltimore, one in mississippi, one in memphis, one in wisconsin where there's been beatings of inept people w eyewitnesses, with the words this is for trayvon. some people are concerned that this is going to be stoking the embers, these rallies and
2:33 am
there's going to be incendiary rhetoric. can you say that's not going to happen? >> the intent of this event to bring calm, focus and intent into our community, that will have a positive outcome on how we're treated and how we treat each other. what people are doing across the country in reaction to this whole thing, i don't think that's what we're doing. if someone is seeing a person where a person didn't do anything wrong, going to get some tea and some skittles, but they died, they were being accused of being suspicious and they weren't doing anything suspicious. >> trayvon martin's girlfriend says she thinks trayvon was the one who threw the first punch. >> who screamed and who threw the first punch is irrelevant. if i was on the street and i saw
2:34 am
somebody sneak up behind me, i would be worried and i might even be scared. if they came up and confronted me and asked me questions, which i have been through before in my life. who are you, what are you doing here, when you walk away from somebody, and they're confronting you, sometimes they don't let you walk away. >> you're just making this whole story up. >> i'm not making up any more than what you're making up. the bottom line, though -- >> here's what we got. >> no, this is a fact. >> we got a law, we got an eyewitness, we got a witness and an eyewitness. >> trayvon was completely innocent, then he was assaulted and tracked. he was minding his own business. the guy who through the punch, stepped up on him secretly through the sky blue and he didn't know the guy.
2:35 am
>> i got to say real quick, let me say this real quick. that's the reason why it is necessary that we do these rallies and it's necessary that we keep them peaceful. we at greater zion video a track record of doing this rallying and as a result we have seen a decrease in crime. and we hope that all of these rallies that are happening across the country will bring people to a level of consciousness to respect life. we can have a misunderstanding, but it's not okay to take somebody's life. >> i will bet that by the time i get back on the air monday, we're going to have a lot of tape of a lot of incendiary violence. i'm just guessing. somebody's going to go over the top. coming up next, i'll turn things over to this great studio audience, geniuses, including
2:37 am
and to keep our commitments. and we've made a big commitment to america. bp supports nearly 250,000 jobs here. through all of our energy operations, we invest more in the u.s. than any other place in the world. in fact, we've invested over $55 billion here in the last five years - making bp america's largest energy investor. our commitment has never been stronger.
2:40 am
. welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." we have already heard from the attorney for trayvon martin's parents as well as organizers and attendees of this trayvon martin protest this weekend. we have our studio audience to react to that and more. do you expect incendiary language over the weekend? >> absolutely. you have the guys like reverend sharpton who incite this stuff for a living. >> ratcheting up the anger? >> absolutely, and it's absolutely wrong. let's honor trayvon by everything from trying to fix stands your ground law, that's fine. by asking the justice department to investigate, even though i don't think they'll find anything.
2:41 am
let's be constructive with this. >> during the trial, 61 people in chicago killed. does anybody here know any of their names? does that impact your thinking about why this case? >> well, i think this case because certain people who shall remain nameless but who's interviewing me say things like this is an anti-zimmerman protest. no, it's not. it isn't an anti-zimmerman protest. i have said and i have written about how i respect, how i respect the jurors, i respect the verdict. but that does not mean that this was not racially motivated. this shooting -- >> counselor, give me the evidence. >> this shooting did not occur outside of zimmerman's car. zimmerman got out of the car, he stopped him. >> not illegal. >> he didn't have to do it. the police, the dispatcher told him, zimmerman was not asked, zimmerman got out of that car,
2:42 am
trayvon martin was not at the car. >> where is he now? doesn't that suggest that he should go look? >> what does that suggest? >> i have heard some things here, people are saying things that are just disregarding the facts of this case. >> like what? >> like the evidence in this case of him being racially motivated, is zero. the prosecution would have loved to have one. but people make some -- >> this is a racist man who was out to get a black man. >> let me go to carol swain, carol? >> what's been troubling me the most, is when we have the media discussions, that trayvon is being presented as he was innocent young child, you know, there was the image of him maybe being 14 or 15. there was evidence that he was like so many of you are young black men, that he had problems, he was headed in the wrong direction. that's totally ridiculous.
2:43 am
let me finish. >> what is your point? that he smoked marijuana? >> my point is that we should be having a discussion about crime in the black community, the fact that so many young blacks are killing each other. we're having the wrong discussion, and i believe that politically, all this stirring the pot is to take black people's minds off their real problems. off the unemployment. >> what agrees with that? who disagrees with that? one, two. what are the issue of the texts with trayvon about fighting and he had smoked pot that night. does that impact his mind? >> not at all. it would have made him relaxed if anything. here's what it does, though, the awareness of trayvon's life helps us understand each other a little bit better. if nothing else, there was a disconnect between george zimmerman that night and what trayvon was doing. and detective sarino said it
2:44 am
directly. u tell him who you were? no, i didn't. >> i disagree. i think it's a tragic, sad, misunderstanding. and i promised tom, and we'll get back to you pastor. when we come back, we'll have more with our studio audience as this special edition of hi, i'm terry and i have diabetic nerve pain. i worked a patrol unit for 17 years in the city of baltimore. when i first started experiencing the pain, it's, it's hard to describe because you have a numbness... but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot. it was progressively getting worse, and at that point i knew i had to do something. when i went back to my healthcare professional... that's when she suggested the lyrica. once i started taking the lyrica, the pain started subsiding. [ male announcer ] it's known that diabetes damages rves. lyrica is fda approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is not for everyone. it may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions.

2:48 am
welcome back to this special edition of "hannity." tom burrelly, you were at the naacp convention with your wife. carol was bringing up a good point. how do we go forward? >> we're not going to go forward by using the naacp, which was one of the biggest brainwashing sessions i have ever been.ery h not very high on solutions. so it was really high in emotion. i just wanted to make a point about nbc. all roads go back to nbc because they were the ones that introduced race in this issue. and now they're going to double down in allowing sharpton to run around the country, the suits at
2:49 am
comcast which owns nbc, they must be insane. they're going to be exposing themselves to so many lawsuits if violence breaks out. >> i pray not. pastor? >> to go back for a minute and think about if a black man was found with a pistol standing over a dead white boy, could he go home? >> yes. >> and there's no reasonable person in america who would think -- it took 44 days to bring in george zimmerman. so the issue, i'm not talking about the trial. the point i'm talking about is racial issues. the larger question, and the reason we have such passion here is because we see things so radically different. and if we're going to have improved relations, we're going to have to talk about how we're going to get to a better place. >> i have a new friend in darrell, and when we disagree we have got to disagree in a way that's important and useful and constructive in this country.
2:50 am
but i would say go back to clarence darrow, he defended his home with other folks. he was a black man. he was acquitted on a charge of murder by an all white jury in the 1920s. we can rise above conflict and discord in this country if we walk together. i can disagree with darrell about his view on this case big-time because i don't think the jurors were racist and i don't think that george zimmerman was proven to be racist. >> allen west said where was the naacp when a white man shot a black baby. >> in chicago, you're talking about a two gangs who are fighting over drugs. there's a war going on there, a lot of people are going to die. a lot of innocent people are going to be hurt in the process. but going back to the zimmerman thing. i don't disagree, i guess with the evidence they had, but we
2:51 am
have the right, every right in the world to say that that stand your ground law is ridiculous and that zimmerman was a wuss. >> i don't think there's a lot of people. i don't think almost anyone on this panel saying that should be repealed. the stand your ground law, the way it stands is this, here's why it's unreasonable and here it's why a lot of people who want to blow someone's brains out get away with it. most civilized states in this country say when you're defending yourself, you can use deadly force, you do have a duty to retreat first. >> you know what the problem is counselor, because then you embolden the criminal. you shift the burden of proof on to the victim, counselor. >> i can get out of here, i can escape, but i don't want to, i want to blow your brains out. >> the stand your ground law was not applicable in the zimmerman case.
2:52 am
>> that's a great point. >> the defense elected not to pursue that as a defense. they did not present it to judge nelson because rightly so they knew they would be defeated on that. they decided on the self-defense law which is the law in all the states and federal. >> that is not the only solution to this, we have got to figure out how to value black men's more. >> it's not about calling people thugs, if you're going to call trayvon martin a thug, then you call zimmerman a racist. you have to get action. >> hello. >> real quick. >> i have a -- murdered by young blackmails and i have raised two young black men so i know about race in america and i think we're having the wrong conversation. >> all right, we got to take a all business purchases.
