tom perez is a racist. >>steve: radical. thank you. tell us about an inspector generalort that came out within the last 12 hours. >> he's a radical's radical. what i think we found in this inspector general's report is that he presided over a civil rights division in the department of justice that has been way tilted to the left. he himself comes very much from the left. he used to be president of an immigration advocacy group that advocated no enforcement of any immigration laws whatsoever. the inspector general's report is significant because the inspector general is appointed by obama himself. normally they tend to paper over these things. to have perez so criticized for his actions as head of the justice department's division is astonishing and for him to be considered labor secretary where lots of decisions are made on whether or not companies are going to be allowed to create jobs is very troubling. >>steve: i read an item in "the washington post" about how generally a lousy lawyer. also i read one report that says he's a supporter of sharia law? >> i haven't gone
