tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News July 3, 2017 8:00pm-9:01pm PDT
8:00 pm
use the hashtag #proudamerican. happy fourth of july. have a great night, everyone. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." donald trump's feud with the media got even weirder and more intense over the weekend. the president tweeted a video of a brawl with vince mcmahon with a cnn logo superimposed over mcmahon's face. it a little confusing since cnn could not be more different than this is called trolling. the digital version of getting some of someone's goat. should the president be taking time running the free world to
8:01 pm
drive the media insane? maybe not. probably not but he obviously enjoys it quite a bit. here's the response he got. >> he is sending a message that this kind of violence is okay and that the media are okay target for violence. >> he's going to get somebody killed in the media. >> there are way too many unstable people on the streets right now. this time of heightened passion passions. >> there are people out there, who will -- unhinged. irrational. who take these messages, internalize them, and may act on them.ra >> tucker: cnn's media critic argued this video is so offensive that we ought to suspend free expression and censor the president's speech. at least on social media. an odd argument for a journalist to make. there you have it. >> he's talking about violence against cnn, not saying go out and beat someone up but it h models the behavior.
8:02 pm
i asked twitter p.r. about an hour ago, is this a violation of twitter's terms of service? we have reporters asking thee question. we have not heard back from twitter. keep in mind, the terms of services do forbid incitement of violence or harassment. >> tucker: there's no defending it onin taste grounds but dangerou? the president's words are putting lives in danger, okay. you wonder if reporters apply the same standards when they don't belong to journalists? remember when bradley manning dumped 750,000 pages of u.s. documents? did anyone get hurt because of that? we're still waiting for the follow-up story.du doesn't seem to be a ton of interest in newsrooms. or how about a month ago, when the press published leaks about the manchester bomber that infuriated intelligenceon in the u.k.? did that hamper british counterterrorism intelligence? we may never know.
8:03 pm
so many -- tammy bruce is a radio show host. she joins us now. tammy, thank you for coming on. i should preface by saying the n obvious, i have not been in favor of this since day one. probably should shut down the twitter, in my view. the response is so disproportionate but in a very specific place. this is dangerous to us. that is what people say. is it dangerous? >> it's not. only if they are successful in shutting down the president's ability to tweet and to act in this manner. what's dangerous and what theil press does, you gave some really good examples -- also just last month, "the new york times" revealed the cia's covert operating agent in iran, they named him. they discussed his role and even his alleged role in the killing of an iranian operative as well. that puts that individual
8:04 pm
directly in danger. let alone all of the individuals who may have been working with him. they don't have a problem doing that when there's a real b direct damage but in this case, i happen to like the twitter feed. i think the wrestling tweet was brilliant. let me tell you why. it really brought up -- it was predictable as you noted in your opening, and isn't itt interesting that that response proved his point about the media? they focus on the absurd. they cannot be taken seriously. they themselves do not take their job seriously and it a reinforces the point that theydo are increasingly irrelevant. they can't be trusted because they are not bringing people be real news. when you look at his twitter feed,, and there's been some complaints about this recently, they've begun counting his tweets and checking out the percentage of what is on policy versus what is on complaining media.hewh there is very little policy. which tells you there's a specific reason for the twitter feed.
8:05 pm
it's to push back on these issues as he governs on serious issues like foreign policy, talkingue with china, dealing with north korea. shooting at isis. killing them. the little kid in england, sometimes twitter serves the purpose in that regard. i think it's brilliant. it reinforces his point about the media and they fall right into the trap.gh because they are caught up in their own loathing, they can't see past themselves. >> tucker: the point of these tweets is to make reporters' heads explode and allow them to discredit themselves? >> that's what i'm seeing. if you think about how much time it takes, tweeting, working -- how long does it take, you have a twitter account. it's fabulous. i do too.we it takes about half of a second to push that button. he does that, they move on. he continues to do his work dealing with the g20 coming up. the nature of the health care bill, the tax reform. for a simple push of a button, he spins them around so quicklyb
8:06 pm
of course it tells the american public that the media is so consumed in groupthink that even they do not realize what's going on.. a recent poll from today notes that -- the media's polling numbers are at 30%. 30% of americans trust them. 37% trust the president. his rating is higher. the american people trust him morere than the media, and i thk that tells you how this fight is going at this point. >> tucker: that is fascinating. a really interesting analysis. for the record, i treat my social media like a loaded gun. i don't have self-control for that stuff. i stay away from it. >> it is delineated and smart and people have to look past themselves to see the nature of what's occurring here. i think it's great. >> tucker: fascinating. tammy bruce. thank you for coming on. as we just said, the president's twitter feed has so dominated the news for the last week that you would think nothing else is
8:07 pm
going on. a lot else is going on. last week, the house voted to crackdown on illegal immigrantse two major legislative priorities of the president. coverage of those votes has been scanned. maybe that was the point. bringing us up to speed, steven camarota, the director of research for immigration studies. thank you for coming on tonight. what have we missed as we have been watching the tweets and the cnn response and reporters losing control of themselves? it's hilarious. what else has been going on with immigration? >> there has been real progress. we seen a step up in arrests and enforcement. the house passed to moderately important bills. the sanctuary bill. the more important of the two. it helps to withhold funds from cities that do not cooperate with immigration authorities even when they have someone in jail. and also clarified some things
8:08 pm
in the law, it's a complex legal thing but they are saying they don't really have to hold people in their jails when the immigration service asks them to do that. this bill clarifies that oh, yes, they do. the law was already clear, in my opinion. the other law is called kate's law. when someone has previously been deported, being in the united states is a felony. this clarifies some things and raises the penalty. hopefully people who reenter the united states after beingg deported will be clamped down on.ft that's the idea. >> tucker: both of these seem to serve as an extension of common sense but also already something that's a law. this is not radical new territory. how hard will we get these from the bill stage to become law? >> gotta make it through the senate. the democrats take the position
8:09 pm
that even when someone is in jail and illegally in the country and the immigration services say we ask you to hold them, they say no. they are going to release them. it seems like this is a great opportunity for the republicans and the president to beat up on the democrats because only the most radical person would say no, that person should be made to leave the country. the only people who object are the people that object immigration enforcement, basically. i think it's a great opportunity for the president. this really isn't very radical. it just seems like common sense. >> tucker: so, are there republicans in the senate willing to publicly oppose these bills? >> yeah, it is not clear. i'm guessing the ones who might be most likely might be from arizona, flake, but i think heal might go along. mccain, lindsey graham, these are the ones who might. i think they will mostly go along. they need eight democrats.
8:10 pm
seven democrats. >> tucker: it seems like it would be a great debate to have. both for the republicans in congress, the white house, but really for the country. what is your position, someone opposed to this, that people here illegally have a moral and legal right to be here? just open up the borders legally? you can really press people to explain that position. it won't stand. they will melt if they have to explain the stuff because it's too crazy. >> right, i completely agree. who can object? we are talking mostly it comes into play when someone has been arrested and is in jail and immigration enforcement says hold that person for a second. b as a matter of policy, actually, in fairness, they have actually published a list of all the crimes the people have previously committed. serious sex offenses, robbery,
8:11 pm
and yet they are still doing it. i think partly, the republicans can't seem to articulate this, which isn't very hard for about whatever reason it's not a fight they seemed very anxious to have even though it seems like it would be easy to win. >> tucker: because they don't believe it. in the end, a lot of them are guilty liberals pretending otherwise.in this would force them out of the shadows, into the light. thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: voters in houston successfully campaigned to stop public housing project there. "the new york times" is, of course, furious, suggesting it's time for democracy to be put aside for the sake of diversity. that's next. and new jersey governor chris christie did not go swimming this weekend but is still in hot water for relaxing on a public beach after closing it to everybody else. full details on that story just ahead.
8:12 pm
i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni.

8:15 pm
and these guys. him. ah. oh hello- that lady. these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh. sure. still yes! you can get it too. welcome to the party. introducing gig-speed internet from xfinity. finally, gig for your neighborhood too. ♪ >> tucker: "the new york times" ran a piece this weekend, attacking >> tucker: "the new york times"e ran a piece this weekend attacking home owners for the sin of wanting some control over their own neighborhood. the article focused on houston where residents petitioned blocking the construction of a low income apartment block. policymakers love low income housing. it makes them feel virtuous,lo like they are doing something good even if they aren't.. landlords love it too because it makes them rich. the people that live nearby havt a different view. government housing never makes your neighborhood better, which
8:16 pm
is why affluent liberals like hillary clinton and barack obama live nowhere near it and never will. crime tends to increase, along with drugs and signs of decay. it's tough on local schools and property values fall. none of this is an attack of people that live in public housing. most of them probably don't want to be there either. there's nothing immoral about saying this. it's true. if this was your neighborhood, a place you worked hard to get to, you would probably say this toof no matter what color you are. maxine waters lives in one of the richest zip codes in los angeles. there's always a strong reaction until some bureaucrat decides this neighborhood isn't diverse enough and tries to put low income housing or a homeless shelter in next door. the complaining may soon end because according to "the new york times," several u.s. senators have introduced a bill that would ban local
8:17 pm
communities from getting in the way of any of this.ll massive social engineering projects that might affect them. if that happens, the federal government will be able to do whatever they want to your neighborhood. it's easier that way. less democracy, less fuss. you can just be quiet, mr. bigoted middle america. it's for diversity so don't ask questions. don calloway is a former missouri representative and he joins us. thanks for coming on. happy fourth. there are people that need assistance for housing. i'm not against it. you have to put them somewhere. two points, it seems totally unfair to tell homeowners they have no right to have a voice in that discussion. it really affects neighborhoods. it's a real thing. all the virtue signaling in the world can't cover that up. how dare u.s. congress tell home owners this? the department of housing and urban development is one of
8:18 pm
several agencies in the government that has a bursae mission and charter to integrate housing in this country. it's for the expressed written purpose of eradicating housing segregation. that's one way to consider it, by allowing mixed use and mixed income developments to be put id areas of the country that are not segregated, to just be geographic areas we have limitei them to. which forces for people to live among themselves in poor communities. >> tucker: slow down. the government is not forcing anyone to live anywhere. let me just say, this only seems to work one way. i don't see integrationme if it's a goal -- i don't see the feds moving affluent white people to the poor become neighborhoods. that's called gentrification. aren't we against that? i thought we were against that.
8:19 pm
aren't all good liberals? >> i don't run with the proposition that gentrification is necessarily a bad thing. it has a revitalized urban neighborhoods throughout this country.th to the other question, that's not necessarily it. hud has the charter of integrating housing as well as helping to eradicate poverty. it's very hard to eradicate poverty when you are living in segregated neighborhoods, amongst themselves. let's put the fare back in fair housing. neighborhoods should have something to do with that but if we can show -- if you can make a showing that it would bring positive value, that's something all neighborhoods should consider. perhaps not force it upon them. >> tucker: nobody is forcing -- slow down, no. what we are saying as aa society, we cannot afford housing -- we are not forcing.
8:20 pm
why is this fair for someone who is working really hard, to move his family into a safe neighborhood with good schools and then part of his taxes are going to pay for someone else to live in that same neighborhood, potentially making it worse? like, why is that fair? i don't understand. >> your assumption is that people living in subsidized housing or in poor neighborhoods is necessarily a bad element and would bring that element to other neighborhoods. there are substantial values to mixed income community throughout this country. we see that right here in d.c. where you and i live. we see it in st. louis. many of the gentrified areas that you spoke about. we have people of varying incomes living in peace and harmony right next to each other. all political stripes, race andg gender, we have mentally -- fundamentally declared war against the poor in this country. we continue to advocate these ideas. >> tucker: we haven't declared
8:21 pm
war. you know what? i am never going -- stop with your argument. i don't think poor people are bad. i don't think everyone in public housing is bad. i don't think they are criminals. i'm not making any kind of generalization. i'm looking at the numbers.r if you have a large cluster of public housing in your neighborhood, crime goes up.p. schools get worse. it's just true. it's not an attack on anybody. i feel sorry for people. i'm not attacking those people. i'm saying there is a cost. - >> what is the problem with spreading out mixed and lower income housing development, integrating them into communities which are not necessarily low income? wouldn't that be better if they lived among people who are not necessarily low income? wouldn't it be better if they had access. >> tucker: i don't know. better for whom? >> better for poor people and helping to lift them out of poverty, tucker. >> tucker: what about the other people who live there? >> you are assuming that living
8:22 pm
among poor people degrades the neighborhood. it doesn't. >> tucker: i am not assuming that atsn all. actually, you are wrong. i don't think living amongst poor people denigrates anybody. if you have a big cluster of public housing, it has an effect. >> we're talking about houston in urban redevelopment, is the idea of mixed incomes. people of all income levels. >> tucker: you can call it i whatever you want -- the bottom line is. here's what bugs me. i get the dream. it has been a dream for 50 years and i am not opposed to that. i am for integration, unlike many people on the left. i am for integration but i'm
8:23 pm
saying the people who live there have a right to have a different view and it doesn't make them bigots. >> nobody is saying -- >> tucker: of course they are. fair housing people, you are a bigot.th >> you and i always have good discussions.s. a i have not said they are bigots. there is potential value looking at mixed income communities around the country. it's unfortunate hard has decided not to further the mission >> tucker: it hasn't worked very well. thank you very much. up next, a new poll shows that those on the political left are far less likely to say they are proud of the country they live in. is america becoming more anti-american? we will discuss with charles krauthammer next. make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. miralax is different. it works with the water in your body to hydrate and soften. unblocking your system naturally.

8:27 pm
>> tucker: time for >> tucker: time for tonight's reality check. chris christie being caught on the beach with his family. ordinarily it would be a big deal, but these are not ordinary times. that states government has shut down. public parks, beaches are shut down all souls because, for reasons nobody ever explains, you apparently need government supervision to go outside. that's the way it works. on the busiest holiday weekend of the summer, nobody can go to the beach except chris christiey he went to island beach state park.be yesterday helicopters took pictures of the governor and his family.
8:28 pm
sunbathing on the otherwise deserted shore. busted. he became a star on social media and not in a good way. even the lieutenant governor denounced him. christie compounded the problem by trying to claim it never happened. >> i didn't get any sun today. >> are there lifeguards at the beach? >> no. there's no one on the beach. there are no lifeguards. there is no one to pick up the garbage. there is no one providing any services at island beach state park. >> tucker: didn't get any sun? who's are you going to believe the governor of new jersey, or your own lying eyes? didn't get any sun, despite sitting on the beach during a perfect day, the peak of summer, he didn't get any sun because he was wearing a baseball hat. that's what people mean if theyy ask you "did you get any sun... when the rays were falling directly on the top of your head?" it's not a huge scandal. perhaps an example of what people mean when they say there's one standard for the
8:29 pm
powerful and one for everybody else.op rather than simply apologize, he ridiculed anyone annoyed -- he said it was his privilege to do that. if you want to go to the beach when nobody else is allowed to i go to the beach, go ahead and get elected governor. meanwhile, be quiet. 15% approval rating. today, christie immediately blew up on social media. here are some of the highlights for you. there he is in a beachth chair during a bill signing. pretty impressive. in the oval office. here he is building the rca building at rockefeller plaza duringca the 1930s. having a sandwich. my favorite, in front of the famous sopranos meat store. [laughs] a fox news poll conducted in the
8:30 pm
last week finds a chasm between left and right and how they view this country. overall, according to the poll, 51% of americans are proud to be american. 45% are not. that's a huge drop when 59% saia they were proud to be american. the partisan gap is enormous in this fold. 64% of republicans say they are proud of america. compared to just 39% of democrats. charles krauthammer joins us now. on the eve of the fourth of july, 39% of democrats are proud of the country. that's a profound number, could it be true? >> yeah, i think it is true, probably. a lot of that probably has to do with trump. they feel he's not good for the country, they are upset by tweets and lots of other stuff. that probably colors it.
8:31 pm
what strikes me is the fact that we have remarkably high numbers overall. forget about ideology or party affiliation. that is very disturbing to me. i think it has to do with the fact that we teach our children about all the pathologies of the united states and very little -- of the glories. anybody with a child having gone through the schools in the last decade would know that. it's really abnormal, anti-american, and destructive. >> tucker: why would the rest of us tolerate that? this is not a new thing. i know you said you have a child in school.l. i have two. they come home, they tell you about all the sins of the country. totally out of proportion to their relative weight and the rest of us just kind of sit back, pay tuition, why do we do that? >> i think the left, starting in the '60s, the countercultural left, had a strategy. to take over the institution.
8:32 pm
they weren't just out there rioting and sitting in. they went into the professions, the teaching professions.it they've essentially taken over, that generation of radicals around the universities. -- runs the universities. they run the teachers unions. they run the curricula. i was on the curriculum committee at my son's school. i had a fight like crazy to get them to introduce european history. it was called eurocentric. my son could practically speak inca by the time he got to third grade but he didn't know thing about france or britain. there is this prejudice that has seeped through. in the end, what brings civilizations down is when the elites lose confidence in the rightness of their cause. and when that happens, the rest
8:33 pm
is just commentary. >> tucker: it certainly tanked the british empire. that's exactly how their command of the world collapsed. i'm not sure it was better for it in the end.om how do you right it or is it too far along? >> it's very far along. in the end, writing it means we need a new generation of teachers who we are not committed to this pathos history. the sins of our ancestors. every civilization is founded on sins. every single one. dispossession, violence, appropriation. what distinguishes civilizations are the ones who rises above it. yes, the west had slavery. so did practically ever other civilization. what's unique about ours, the british empire, we decided to outlaw slavery.
8:34 pm
and enforce it using the british navy. that's new. that's unique. you don't hear that story. >> tucker: no, you don't. because they are liars. charles krauthammer, thank you very much. happy fourth. well, a clergyman in texas is furious about the prospect of enforcing american immigration laws. he was arrested for protesting a sanctuary city crackdown.er that pastor will be here, next. and coming to "the friend zone," there she is.an needles. essential for him, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections,

8:39 pm
in may he was arrested for trespassing in may while protesting a state law that cracks down on sanctuary cities. he made his church literally a sanctuary, welcoming illegal immigrants from guatemala. pastor rigby joins us tonight. thank you for coming on tonight. >> thank you for inviting me. >> tucker: because you are wearing a clerical collar and i you are invoking your religion, there is a moral weight behind your argument, what is yourou argument exactly? who has a moral right to come to the united states? >> well, we are a sanctuary church. in our church, we have two people from guatemala. do you remember colin powell's rule? this young mother and her son were born into a country that had been destabilized and as an american, i feel like i'm partially responsible for that.
8:40 pm
to give her sanctuary. >> tucker: guatemala had a coup backed by the united states, probably what you are referring to. germany and japan, in effect, we orchestrated coups in those country. they don't have sky-high murder rates. i don't understand -- you are saying guatemala is a mess because of u.s. involvemen involvement. u.s. had more involvement in germany and japan. those are nots. ms. >> i'm just a presbyterianan minister in austin, texas. i had a family come and ask for sanctuary. our church is a democracy. we all voted on that. because i knew the story down there, i didn't feel her story started when she got to our boundary.
8:41 pm
i'm not a political scientist. but i did not feel like, as a christian, that i could close the door under those terms. >> tucker: i respect that, in some ways. you sound like a passionate person.ke i admire that in you. there are bigger implications here because you are violating the law and encouraging others to do the same. it raises the obvious question which i asked a minute ago, who has a right to come here? i'm going to press you on it, if you don't mind. people you feel compassion for or what is the rule that other christians like me should abide by? who has got that moral right? >> obviously, a lot of christians are going to disagree with me on this. i would say when people are in harm's way, this mother was born in guatemala. it was too dangerous for her there.
8:42 pm
so she fled. this is not just one person. these are lots of stories. she flees, she's an indigenous person. she's not mexican. she is mayan. she stands out like a sore thumb. the mob starts going after her. she has got to choose herself between throwing herself on the mercy of the united states or possibly having her child kidnapped or killed. there are millions of stories like that. i realize this is a complicated issue. i understand. i'm not trying to vilify somebody who disagrees. i was in a crisis of conscience. >> tucker: but it doesn't seem like that. i understand that and i am much more sympathetic to you than i thought i would be. you do seem to be moved by compassion but you are also attacking a system that was decided by the united states congress, they voted this into law. you are saying all of these laws should be ignored. i'm giving the finger to federal agents.
8:43 pm
we should blow them off. i want to know when, as a christian, can i do that? whenever my conscience is pricked? is it a buffet style deal? whenever am i in the mood to abide by the law. >> you obey laws whenever you can but when you feel like a higher law is being -- dr. king saying when you feel the law is unjust, for me -- the law enforcement people all over the state gather to argue against this. i do not believe the purpose of this law in texas was to make americans safer. if that's true, i don't think sheriffs and the police from all over the state would have come and argued against it.
8:44 pm
they said we are safer by not having sb 4. >> tucker: i don't know, polie don't get to make the laws in this country. lawmakers do. i don't think you would want to live in a country where police make the laws, do you? >> if it's --ve >> tucker: if you agree with it, i guess that's your standard. if you agree withuc it. of course, we are out of time. an interesting conversation, pastor. >> i agree this needs to be something you don't do lightly and you need to be willing to pay thee consequences. that may be six months in jail. i understand where you're coming from. i just couldn't do it. >> tucker: look, if you are willing to pay the consequences and look it right in the face, i'm not going to attack you. thanks, i appreciate it. the fourth of july celebrates national unity but an obsession with race and white privilege and all this stuff, it appears to be keeping this country divided in ways that may be dangerous long term. we will talk to reverend jesse lee peterson, doing his

white trump motor from a white nontrump voter. fears of brown people, fears of losing the majority.ou >> tucker: you hear that a lot, it's not helping. jesse lee peterson, founder of bond, he is also wrote a book called "the antidote: healing america from the poison of hate, blame and victimhood." he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. have you noticed an accelerating tendency to make everything about race? especially in the last year? >> i have. thank you for having me on. happy independence day to you. i have to tell you, tucker, on november 9th, i woke up early in the morning. turned on fox news because i wanted the real news. i wanted to check and see if president trump had won. when i found out that he had won, i went to cloud nine and i

have been dancing on the ceiling ever since. we finally have a government, a president, who is going to keep his word. w keeping his word by putting america first, he doesn't care what color you are, male or female, he loves us right. h he loves the country. the liberals, people like al sharpton or jesse jackson, they do not want that. what they are doing -- they are using the phony idea of racism in order to keep the people angry and keep them divided. over the last 50 years, the democrats have pretty much been in control and they haven't done anything good for the country. they have nothing to offer. they have nothing to stand on. so they are desperate. they are angry. they are desperate and what they are trying to do, tucker, they are really going after the president and his supporters. if they can turn the president's supporters away from him, they

can destroy the president. they are using phony ideas, racism doesn't exist. it has never existed and it has always been a lie. our issues in life is good or bad. right or wrong. good versus evil. it has nothing to do with colors at all. they know that. >> tucker: let's say you are running a city, your party ran it for 100 years. you had high crime and very few job opportunities. and you said don't be mad at me, be mad at that confederate monument or pick some symbolic issue to make them upset. at people who weren't running the city. that would be the kind of tactic you are describing?ps >> yes, sir. because you cannot control a free people. you can't control a moral people.. you have to demoralize them in order to control them. as i wrote in my book, "the antidote: healing america from

the poison of hate, blame, and victimhood" not all -- but most black americans are suffering not due to racism but the destruction of family and lack of moral character. it's about that. if we dealt with the family issue and the lack of character, black americans' lives would change overnight. they don't want that. look, we gave them a black president. we gave them barack obama, a black president. twice. i didn't vote for him but he was there. we got worse. black americans got worse under barack obama than any other time in the history of america. if it was a race issue, why didn't it get better? we had a black president. the racism divided because barack obama used them for his personal gain and didn't care about them. >> tucker: thanks a lot.
