barack obama, the country's first black president into office with a sizeable majority. many hoped that the president would in fact be the uniting force that we all desperately needed. seven years later, this country is anything but united. tonight with the help of a studio audience we'll not only analyze these racial tensions but look for solutions. as a reminder this is what we saw and heard during the baltimore riots. >> breaking news now, continuing coverage out of baltimore where the situation appears to be deteriorating. >> you failed me. this is a joke. they think it's funny. >> chaos in baltimore tonight. the governor of maryland declaring a state of emergency in the cy. >> are you watching this, guys? >> 15 police officers have been injured after clashing with very violent protesters. the rioting continuing at this hour with protesters looting

stores attacking police. >> move back. >> we've got looting, the burning of buildings. >> throwing rocks and bricks at the police officers here. >> rocks, boulders, being thrown at police officers. >> black lives matter! black lives matter! >> do not condemn people for their anger. and do not condemn people for their frustration. because you failed to do what is right. >> we've seen the last of the tragic riots? most americans do not think so. nbc "wall street journal" poll says a 96% of americans think more racial disturbances are likely this summer. here for reaction we bring in our studio audience. a show of hands, barack obama's been president, he's now in his seventh year how many think race relations have gotten better? hands up. worse? no hands at all for you. what's up with that. >> i think things are pretty

neutral over the last eight years. there are some things that are happening, such as police shootings that have ignited some issues. but i don't think it's gotten worse. >> i say obama's a four-time loser on high-profile race cases. said the cambridge police acted stupidly had to have a beer summit. he rushed to summit in the trayvon martin case. he was wrong there. we know in ferguson, he mentions that. michelle obama mentioned it this week. he was wrong on ferguson. i think he's wrong to rush to judgment as aconstitutional attorney on freddie guy. >> no doubt. we're breeding this type of animouse in this country. this teacher said white men are the scourge of the earth, or something along these lines. we are creating this type of thing. having been on the ground in ferguson and i talked to that young black kid you talked to about it his comment was, kevin, why aren't people telling us the truth. after he got off the air he

wanted to know the truth. we're not telling the kids the truth because they don't want it of the they want the strife. that 96% number is an overwhelming indictment of what's happening here. >> you're in the pulpit. i think if we're going to help kids in america, putting aside all racial issues it's going to come from guys like you. >> i think so. the early american flag before we got the one we have now said appeal to heaven with the evergreen tree. these problems are not going to be solved by themselves. we have to take some practice stance. think of it this way, race generational poverty, and i'm going to call it class are all intertwined. so we don't just have a race problem, it's just not black or white, we've got people who feel angry and hopeless. just started a initiative called the reconciled church and it's really bringing together high-profile leaders --

>> good people. >> all good people saying that church has got to lead the way. first to calm things down and then to begin to deal with longer term solutions to hopelessness. >> here's the next question, the show of hands again. has barack obama with his comments on the four incidents that i mentioned, is he stoking the fires of racial pension? how many say yes? how many say no? why? >> that these things exist is not obama's fault. and i don't think that it's obama's job -- there's nothing that obama can do to put out the fires. i think what he's trying to do is observe them and speak to what a lot of people do feel. >> can i just say one thing? wait a minute he's a constitutional lawyer. he said the cambridge police acted stupidly. he had no facts. he rushed to judgment with trayvon martin. he had no facts. it turns out that michael brown

robbed a store and intimidated a clerk and fought a cop for his gun probably to kill the cop and then charged the police officer. it never happened hands up don't shoot. never happened. >> charged the police officer? >> he charged the police officer. the eyewitnesses when you read the reports, charged at the officer. michael brown. >> i understand what you're saying. >> the president invoked michael brown. michelle obama invokes it. >> relax and let's see what happens. follow the process and let the process work. instead, he immediately -- he and eric holder immediately jumped in it's a racial case black versus white, turns out afterwards it waste a black/white issue after all. >> if i asked people in ferguson tonight whether it was racial what happened to michael brown, what percentage of people who say yes? he had his hands up don't shoot? >> despite the attorney general and doj saying it wasn't a racial case i think a lot of them will still say it was. >> it was the environment that was set. here in new york city we have

big bird mayor de blasio. shutting down the streets. what do you want? dead cops. what do you want? when you allow that to go on we want dead cops we got two dead cops by that bum from baltimore. >> speaking of cops -- >> please let me finish this thought. because it's so important. i talk to cops every day out there. they've taken it in the gut and soul. the officer was hit with a hammer yesterday. she could have been killed. thank god that that reaction the other cop was not to hesitate. because we would have had another dead cop. my whole thing is when i grew up as a cop, i grew up in harlem. i was a servant to the black community. i didn't see black/white, i saw good/bad. the good kids have got to get the environment changed, have trades to learn to show there is a way in this country. i love this country. >> let me bring up a point. this monday in louisville

kentucky a guy by the name of ed mattingly told reporters, there was a shooting incident that happened there. and he said quote, we are glad that the person that got shot is white. he said we shouldn't have to be worried about that. let's go to barack obama on the issue of a police incident and what he's said about it. >> the cambridge police acted stupidly. there is a long history in this country of african-americans and latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. that's just a fact. the african-american community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences. and a history. that doesn't go away. the african-american community is also knowledgeable that there's a history of racial disparities in the application

of our criminal laws. too many communities around the country have mistrust that exist between local residents and law enforcement. too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear. there are some bad politicians. they're corrupt. there are business in the people on wall street who don't do the right thing. there are some police who aren't doing the right thing. i think there are police departments that have to do some soul searching. >> with the power of the bully pulpit of the presidency rushing to judgment on four high-profile racial incidents in this country, he turns out to be wrong. wrong. has he hurt race relations by doing that? >> the president talks about his feeling. let's talk about our history. about 100 years ago there was another progressive democrat president named woodrow wilson.

and he had one of the most racist disgusting films in the history of our country, birth of a nation. he came out and said this was history written with lightning. barack obama is the re incarnation of woodrow wilson. >> by the way, that pushed the klan you're making a very tough charge here against the president. you're comparing that to woodrow wilson? >> absolutely. it's the same phenomena. you have a certain degree of racial tension. the racial tension existed back then. and instead of being the calming voice, that brings people together you divide people. and you stoke the fire. and you stoke the racism. the only difference is the same democratic progressivism of divide and conquer. the only difference is the victimizer and the victim have switched sides. >> stacy, you tweeted out back in 2012, your support for mitt romney.

sadly, i read some of the ugliest comments i have ever read in my life. you write about it in your book. you were a victim of racism for being black and conservative. explain. >> i think first of all it's good that i started a dialogue. but this is just an example of this white house plantation mentality. this narrative that they are trying to push upon the, you know the disenfranchised. the uneducated. they want to keep them there, throw money at the problem, and think that's going to solve it. and that's not. >> like the $1.8 billion in stimulus money? >> right. >> that they got? >> my question is, and listening to the comments that the president made. i believe that his intention is not to stoke more racial tension, but to help people to understand the other side. i think that's what he was

doing, in trying to explain the world view that people of color might have that might be different from the white population or other minorities. i think he's trying to bring people together. it's just not working. so the question is how can we as people community organizations, the faith-based community, and others have a conversation that is productive rather than dividing. >> but if we all believe that we're all god's children and we're all born with talent and ability, and we'll get to michelle obama's speech in the next segment, and she goes on this rant in a commencement address, and i felt like saying you need to get to the part where you are the first lady. that america has grown to the point where white america had no problem voting for a black american president. at all. by the way, much to my chagrin and as much as his liberal policies not the color of his skin. but i thought for liberal reasons he shouldn't be elected. but it showed progress. and she sounded angry. you heard the speech this week. >> i think it's a matter of

always wanting, as a public figure you want to match the emotional tambor of what's going on in the country. i think some of the speeches are trying to do that. >> but is it hurting -- >> i'm going to -- >> i think the more that you can start a dialogue around these issues and have panels like this and media who responsibly say how can we have a productive dialogue and turn a negative into a positive. >> we'll get back to your comment, and all of your comments i promise. everybody will get in. michelle obama's comments from her speech earlier this week. coming up next right here on this special edition of "hannity" -- >> the folks crossing the street in fear of their safety the clerk who kept a close eye on us in those department stores. the people at formal events who assumed we were the help. >> when we return our studio audience's response to michelle obama's commencement address. alvita king will join us and the milwaukee county sheriff will weigh in on the racial divide being created here in

america. merica and our new app will revolutionize car service and repair. excuse me, uh, is that anything like, uh cars.com's new feature called service and repair? no, because with ours you'll know the cost of labor and parts in your area anyone, anyone else? like, like cars.com? so you'll never pay more than you should. like, cars.com? excuse me one second. she's totally right. i messed up, i'm sorry. cancel the ipo.

welcome back to "hannity." first lady michelle obama gave the commencement address at tuskegee university in alabama. she included shocking comments on race in america. >> we felt the sting our entire lives. the folks who crossed the street in fear of their safety. the clerks who kept a close eye on us in all those department stores. the people at formal events who assumed we were the help. and those who have questioned our intelligence our honesty, even our love of this country. and i know that these indignities are nothing compared to what folks across the country

are dealing with every single day. those nagging worries that you're going to get stopped or pulled over for absolutely no reason. the road ahead is not going to be easy. it never is especially for folks like you and me. because while we've come so far, the truth is that those age-old problems are stubborn. and they haven't fully gone away. and all of that is going to be a heavy burden to carry. it can feel isolating. it can make you feel like your life somehow doesn't matter. that you're like the invisible man like elison wrote about all those years ago. as we've seen over the past few years, those feelings are real. they're rooted in decades of structural challenges that have made too many folks feel frustrated and invisible. and those feelings are playing out in communities like

baltimore, and ferguson and so many others across this country. >> we bring back our studio audience. how many think she hit the right message there? show of hands. one, two, three, four. how many think she gave the wrong message? okay. let's go to -- rod? we've been friends a long time. it sounded to me angry. it sounded to me that -- everyone's going to have struggles. there is residual racism, nobody's disappointing it. but 95% of americans, the worst thing you could call them is a racist. i don't think she was recognizing that. nor telling them i'm the first lady. in spite of problems i might have had. my husband's the president of the united states. in spite of sean hannity not wanting a liberal in the white house. >> she was more passionate than anything in her speech. i think she was trying to really relate to the audience. i'll tell you, i listened to her speech i listened to everything she said sean and i could actually feel the tenor in her

voice. >> you didn't feel anger? i felt anger. >> i felt passion. i felt experience from her. and to me she sounded like the first lady. i give her credit. >> i have to say honestly she's the first lady of the country. he's the president of the united states. i was born in 1970. who could have told me 45 years ago that i would be looking at a two-term black president, and i don't agree with a lot of his policies, but he is a two-term elected president. >> that's the message, right? >> that's the message, right there. >> i believe both obamas have missed a golden opportunity really to promote how exceptional our country is. michelle obama played identity politics. president obama, eric holder jesse jackson, across the board, identity politics. they want to divide our country. instead of uniting americans, we hear this rhetoric on a regular basis. and to talk like that at a graduation ceremony i found it

very discouraging and i found that because of her position she could have done a much better job to talk about how she got from chicago, to ivy league schools, to the white house. and if i can do it you can do it. >> that was what i thought. go ahead. >> that's what she was saying. it bothers me when an african-american woman speaks clearly and forcefully about something, and all of a sudden she's angry. she was talking about the true issues. regardless of your income level, regardless of how much education you have there's still -- >> stacy's responding to you. go on. >> no she sounded ungrateful. >> but you all are wrong. >> ungrateful. she's the first black woman to be the first lady of the united states of america. she should be proud. >> she should be gracious.

>> hold on a second sean. >> one at a time. >> even if she has that opinion, there's a way to express it. without causing division. she should be trying to unite. like they say, united we stand, divided we fall. >> you play one clip of a long commencement speech that was very powerful. and when you have someone who's in this position and she was doing the right thing, she was speaking at tuskegee university and telling students you have the right to -- just because you have negative issues you will be great. that's what she was saying. >> we have come a long way, to sew see a black woman up there as the first lady. she should have been saying, this is where i am right now. this is why i am here and you should aspire to this. >> yes. >> yeah. >> wait wait wait.

let him finish. >> that's what she's saying. we have come a long way. and we have a long way to go. what part of that did you not hear. >> i did not hear that. >> you missed the entire message. >> hang on. >> there's too much negative in there. >> were you there for the entire speech? you're playing a clip. >> there are many clips. if i was in there, i would have walked out thinking that you know what, this is bad. this is bad. this is terrible. >> if i was in there -- >> one at a time. >> every time the democrats do this and people -- there's a lot of powerful black people in this country. baltimore is a good example. every time they do this, they hearken back to the 1960s. they hearken ban to slavery. instead of being a powerful message of overcoming it's always -- >> can i just make an

observation? i'm looking at an audience predominantly black americans, all of you successful in huge ways. my only disagreement with you is i listened to the tone. and i'm like, she made it -- this country has righted wrongs thankfully corrected injustices thankfully made progress thankfully and most people are not who she was describing. i thought that was unfair. >> but a lot of people are, sean. i'm a criminal defense lawyer and i know about profiling. i know how situations such as ferguson how a large percentage of people of color are -- >> but i've got a question. when the president -- hang on. as a criminal defense attorney when obama mentions the cambridge police trayvon martin ferguson missouri freddie gray in his city of chicago, how many blacks have been killed? you don't know their names. wait wait. why doesn't he ever talk about

that? i've never heard him talk about it. his own home city. >> wait a second. sean -- >> george zimmerman was found not guilty. we do know that. >> trayvon martin grounded and pounded according to the one-eyed witness in that case. there was an eyewitness who said he saw trayvon ground and pound -- >> no there was self-defense as well. >> he should not be involved -- no, no. >> where was he when two of my officers got assassinated in new york. nobody from that white house other than biden was there. where was the attorney general? where was loretta when the poor kid got shot in the face dwight last week? no representation from the federal government. i get upset about it. they run to ferguson run all over the place, how about our

cops who died valiantly. >> how about the african-american kids who are dying at the hands of cops? >> milwaukee county sheriff david park will join us to weigh in on the racial divide from coast to coast. later tonight -- >> i think white supremacy is so ingrained in the institution that you don't even have to have a white person around to have white supremacy play out. >> is media coverage of the racial tensions in this country hurting or helping? our audience will weigh in and much more straight ahead. when kevin jorgeson needs light, he trusts only duracell quantum because it lasts longer in 99% of devices. ♪ ♪

the melting pot of america is boiling over and you are right on with this discussion. >> okay. but i want to know i'm a radio and television host. i want to know if the president of the united states what would your uncle think of his statements and michelle obama's statements that she's made recently about the current situation about race in america? >> my uncle would understand that mrs. obama, the first lady of the united states of america, was functioning from the pain of the human soul the will the mind the emotions. but he would call her to step up higher into the human spirit that can look at the content of a character, rather than the color of her skin. and, you know we have skin color, and that is part of the human experience. but we cannot live there. we must be elevated. that's where the answers are going to be. when we go into the spirit the human spirit and connect with

god and find our solution. >> you know sheriff clark, you hear the president. we just played his comments about police officers. and i told the story about this nelson county sheriff in kentucky who actually said that wow, they shot a perpetrator, the police department. we were glad that he's white. we shouldn't have to be worried about that. where is that kind of comment having to come from? >> well first of all, i don't like that comment. but who would have thought that we would need a period of reconstruction similar to after the civil war, after the election of the first black president of the united states. sean one of the reasons that we can't have a discussion on race in america, listening to your last segment, is people start talking over each other and you can't get a word in edge-wise. let me say this about the first lady. i thought it was a pathetic.

she should know better than that. when she talks to young people like i talk to across the area sure you have to come from behind you started off from behind. but you can catch up as we go on. the way i approached this thing, i have forgiven america for the past sins of slavery. i didn't say forget i say i've forgiven them for that. i decided to leave that plantation and shed that emotional baggage so i can participate in the mainstream. that's the message i try to share with young people. instead of this perpetual creation and division of turmoil between blacks and whites in america. i think it's been a very destructive period of time the last six years. i think it can get better. but first it's going to have to start with a lot less emotion. i think that's on both sides of the table here. >> al veda let me ask you. the president often talks about high-profile race cases. we have an epidemic with young

people. we don't know their names like michael brown and trayvon martin and freddie gray. we don't know their names. of kids being killed in cities all across this country every day, including atlanta, where you live. and i used to live. why doesn't the president ever talk about that when the numbers are so much higher than these incidents that we talk about with police? >> there again, elevation is required. content of character. recognizing that these young men, young women, young teenagers, are human beings. we're not recognizing them as human beings. >> we're not -- >> the skin color war is primitive. we've got to elevate. dealing with the content of character, recognizing the worst of each of these young people. once we recognize their worth, give them a reason to live. not a reason to be angry. not a reason to feel as though

they are still on the plantation. that they are still the victims. they need to know that there is something of value in their lives. and this can be done. i agree with sheriff clark. >> sheriff, what's your reaction? we have an epidemic. young people killing young people. we don't know their names. we don't hear the president talk about that. it's a police incident high profile if it fits a narrative that's political for him that he wants to advance, we hear about it. why doesn't he use the power of the presidency for that? >> that's what i keep my fingers crossed every time that i hear him speak on this issue, when he stumbles out of the gate. here's an opportunity here. he's a role model for a lot of not just black people but young black men all across america. what he should do is to remind people of lifestyle choices. it's the behavior of many of these young black men in these urban ghettos that cause most of the problems that they endure. it's self-inflicted. school failure, having kids out

of wedlock, young black men having kids and not being a real father and a dad to those kids. and i think that they would listen more coming from him, than from somebody else. so i think it's a missed opportunity. it's a swing and a miss. when you go through life looking at everything through the lens of race you're going to find a boogie man lurking around every corner. when i listened to michelle obama, first lady of the united states with all due respect, i couldn't tell if she was talking about 2015 or 1815. >> all right. good to see you both. up next tonight, on this special edition of "hannity" -- >> when are we going to talk about the systemic violence that white folks do in the name of anti-black and white supremacy in this country. >> the media is not exactly helping when it comes to racial tensions in the country. we'll talk to our very demure and shy studio audience as a special edition of "hannity" continues straight ahead.

welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." race relations in the obama era. places like baltimore and ferguson are still recovering from violent protests and riots that shook peaceful communities to their core. mainstream media was quick to call police racists and place the blame entirely at their feet. for example, watch this. >> when are we going to talk about the systemic violence that white folks do in the name of anti-black and white supremacy in this country. >> it's so ingrained in the institution, you don't have to have a white to have the white supremacy play out. >> you say cops really we have really really bad cops. a small number of cops. one of the emerging issues that we have now is the state of race relations with the police department. >> the mainstream media hurting

or helping racial tensions in america? we bring back our studio audience. i would say, of course there's racism in america. i would say the worst thing you can say about somebody is they're racist and nobody would want to be ostracized that way. but when you listen to that it's like all white americans -- >> right. nbc has a narrative and they're playing to their base. i think a lot of times when you have are the reporters. unlike yourself who wants to question what you're hearing from the government. there's so many that take that press release from the white house and that's what they report. that's what the white house wants. they want to stay on their narrative. big government. president obama bashes police because he wants federal law enforcement reform. he wants the federal government -- >> maybe to federalize it. >> state and local. he's all about big brother. that's the problem. that's what we're seeing. he's fighting the same narrative we saw from johnson, and

kennedy, when they did the war on poverty. the government is not the solution. >> let me go to tom. he hasn't spoken yet. in case you don't know that's a cute couple, they are married. you have traveled the country a lot. >> yeah. >> i'm friends with both of you. you've seen some ugliness. because your wife is a black conservative. you've experienced the ugliness. she wrote a book about the ugliness. she said in the beginning of her book a lot of ugly things come up. >> absolutely. but that's the way you win by going into the communities. we went to the naacp meeting last year where there was a woman screaming in dannine's face. but they forgot the question why is this happening. what is the root cause. is anybody asking why president obama wants to veto the voucher schools in d.c.? >> do we all agree on that? would vouchers save kids from failing schools? >> and obama's illegal action on

immigration. what's that going to do for black unemployment. obama's climate change regulations, electricity prices are higher. >> competing for maybe, you know some -- >> the word that has come up over and over again, it started with the plantation. >> that's a hard word. that is a hard word. >> but it's a powerful word. the metaphor cal plantation that a lot of folks within baltimore, and inner cities chicago, is the plantation of victimization. and what obama and michelle god bless her, the first black lady are pushing, are shackling -- shackles of victimization. so there's no hope. i'm destined for a particular lifestyle. >> this administration has had a war on vouchers. on school choice.

>> rod is shaking his head. i've known you a lot of years. i don't see you shake your head like that a whole lot. >> i totally disagree. i don't think the message that's being given by the white house is plantation. i think what the gentleman here says -- >> victimization, too. >> but i don't think that's it. >> didn't michelle say that you're going to be victimized? yeah there are ignorant people. i've met them. we've all met them. >> but sean what's the reality? what she was saying in her speech at that graduation was that regardless of what you think you are, you can still achieve higher. that's the message that i heard from the first lady. one other thing quickly, tom. i have to say this about policing. that's something i know a little about. >> a lot about. >> all of this is falling at the feet of police officers because it's not -- police are not the problem. police are not the problem. it's the politicians. >> the politicians are the problem. look at eric gardner. eric gardner died for a $7 cigarette.

>> you get in that system it's hard to break the cycle. >> you know we're talking about this end instead of that end. >> you know what's important? get these kids teaching them trades to be plumbers electricians. let's teach them some trades so they got something in their lives. not going and looking at these golden diamonds and bentleys and rolexs. that's the problem. >> what i want to say real quickly is when we talk about racism we talk about one-directional. there are more racists on the left than all the conservatives on this planet. that's where the racism is. the second thing is we've got to hold our -- >> there's racism on both sides. >> a small percentage on our side and we talk about it all the time. the second thing is in baltimore, 370% more crime, average crime violent crime than the national average. what are you talking about not not city cops there. >> we hear about racism white privilege and all that.

you still have to pay your bills and take care of your loved ones and communities. get focused, get cleaned up and go out and be a productive citizen. >> does everybody believe -- we all agree there are some racists. but if you study and develop marketable skills regardless of your race do you all agree you will succeed? everybody agree? >> and you can become the president of the united states. >> look, if you work hard -- >> you get a degree you develop marketable skills i argue you cannot fail in america. >> you're going to have to push for it. >> $1.8 billion in stimulus dollars, that went to baltimore. $3,000 per person in baltimore. i want to demand an investigation from this justice department show me the money. where did the money go. >> add to that $1 billion a year

for their schools. >> sean the bottom line is there's clearly a lot of mistrust in our community. we need community leaders to face community politicians and police to get together and let down some of the pride and have compassion for fellow man. >> i think i admire everybody, even a few liberals here. i think we ought to take this on the road into baltimore. >> let's go! let's go! >> big shows. >> let's take it over there, baby. i lived in baltimore for five years. let's take it there. america is the greatest country in the world. let's take it there. >> we do need to fix the families though. we do need to fix the families. because in the communities, the families need to be fixed. and with that the communities -- >> last word. last word. >> generational poverty that exists happens under the liberals domestic policies.
