the ones that help out end up dead. >> why don't we start profiling at college campuses about microaggressionhat are radicalizing people and turning them into jihadists. >> the other argument would be you need a cosby show for muslim-americans. >> all american muslim is on tlc. >> i think we need a cosby show for short people. we are underrepresented, aren't we? >> because we're so short. >> what are you saying in my ear? just 24 days until christmas. time to pick our secret santa. that tradition next. >>> december has arrived and the christmas tree was lit in washington. president obama and first lady michelle obama flipped the switch to light the 48-foot blue spruce for the final time a short while ago. always a fun tradition. we want to do one of our own annual christmas traditions that everyone is so excited about. this is my blog for the day, making our secret santa. can i go first? >> can you pick me so i can get fuzzy slippers again. >> i've got mine. we'll go this way. >> that tree was a living creature and they chop it up and elect electrocute it. >> don't they plant it? >> no. they

there are microaggressions. there are oh, i didn't -- you speak so well.re microaggressions that are forms of prejudice and discrimination that we have to address. >> scottie, last word. >> real quick. the fact is more than 200 counties that supported barack obama actually went for donald trump. that's the reason why mr. trump won. it wasn't because of racism. it was because people were hurting. the democrats have lost being able to -- >> that is the equivalent of saying that i have a black friend. just because the counties that voted for barack obama doesn't mean they don't have elements of prejudice or discrimination, of racism. that's at the kwif lent he kwie saying i have a black friend. >> i'm saying there are elements of that that were very vocal and powered and given a platform we have not seen in a long time that was not resoundingly rejected by donald trump himself for a very long time. it gave them power. to foithe point where you have n them having conferences in washington, d.c. and because of steve bannon's, i said questionable history and thi

result of an election, and, you know, they're protected from any kind of speech, any kind of microaggressionw are they ever going to make it in real life when they come out into the rest of society? wouldn't you worry about that if that was your kid on campus there? >> look, the fact is a lot of these kids work. they have part-time jobs. they're going to learn soon enough, melissa. once they graduate and get into real world and start complaining about some of the things that kind of offend them as college students they will learn what it's like. i'm actually, look, of course people should deal with reality. she shouldn't deal with fantasy. that is true with the guy who went into the pizza place five blocks from my house, incidentally, thanks to general flynn and his son. people need to deal in reality and not in fantasy. that is true for generals and true for college students. i agree with that. melissa: hadley, your thoughts on that? >> we've been treating young adults too much like children. we would all benefit -- when they turn 18 they're the age of majority. start treating people like a

screaming slurs on campus telling us which pronouns are offensive or why christmas carols are microaggressionsthat's the pc movement power mad twerps who use reputational smears to brand all of us as evil until we submit. that's what bugs me about sanders. he's been a socialist forever, mired in left-wing politics for decades and now he diagnoses the problem? dude, you are the problem. from the 1970s to now, you cared and you watered this toxic movement. so bernie, 2016 was about millions of americans becoming intolerant of that intolerant class. let's hope it sticks. so kimberly. >> yeah. >> we love our billionaires. >> oh, we do. oh, we do. >> let's talk about billionaires, no. people just got tired of the left-wing pc smears. everybody being called racist. everybody being called bigots. >> absolutely. finally they felt someone was hearing their voice where they didn't want to be taxed into oblivion, into poverty by the obama administration, by the clintons, and they wanted to stop this. they wanted to stop the grab on their future and their security and what they wanted to do to provide for

the criminal law professor trying to get a cab and watched cab after cab go to white person and microaggressions not system but implicit bias. >> racism exists. no one is denying that. it's horrific and should dispel of that myth but likewise shouldn't haphazardly call people racists. everyone affiliated with donald trump has been labeled a racist, including myself and joe and it's not fair. >> have i ever called you a risist? >> i haven't but many others have. and look at twitter. >> look at mine too. my point is this, if we could stay within the confines of this conversation, i think it's important. we have the opportunity to have at least a civil discourse on this when a lot of other folks who haven't gotten to the point. just asking for a simple acknowledgment that there are systems in place where racist roots and if you have a bad foundation, let's go to church on this. if you have a bad foundation, the roots are bad and negative so we have to question the system and figure out how to remedy and amend the system or get rid of it. >> flaw in the argument, by that logic, destroy the constitu

going to be there with all kinds of microaggressions but we're going to showcase it all for you. >> alle. >> all live. >> what can possibly happen with live tv? >> absolutely nothing. >> looking forward to spending new year's eve with you. coming up next, would you believe that nearly a million illegal immigrants in california have drivers licenses and it's all perfectly legal there? does that fly in the face federal immigration law? we'll debate it up next. 800,000 in california alone. there are 12 states that allow illegals to have drivers license, make the case for that. i think it sounds like it shouldn't be going on. but i say differently. >> absolutely. thank you for having me and happy holidays. the intelligence thing to do for the california lawmakers why for two reasons. economic reasons and for security reasons. economic reasons. california business owners are going to be very happy because those people that are working for them are going to be on time. not only that then they will not be free loaders. if they are not free loaders, they will be paying taxes. if they pay taxes

. >> i mean, the best parts of the book, i think, are this-- these gritty, kind of microaggressions that these men and women lived with during jim crow. like the little girls walking to school past the white lady's house and there were parrots and they were trained to squawk epithets at them. and the ladies, rent collectors who accepted sex in partial payments. i'd never have the stories had i not gone out to spent the time to know people and they know me and open up to stories. >> that's the heart and soul of your book, i think. >> thank you, thank you. >> in addition to the remarkable story. one i think thing if you comment on. because the brothers were portrayed in the circus as sort of being i mbeciles. >> it happened that a lawyer interviewed him, and i took him out to lunch and i was having trouble finding documents. and the circuit court clerk helped me find them. and he took him out to lunch. he he said i deposed him. and i said what was he like? he gave me detail. if you think he was mentally incapacitated? oh, my heaven no. another lawyer to deposed him said it was mid december

you're using rutgers as an example, but this microaggression, 2016 is a year where that blew up. >> absolutelythis all around the country. places were completely restricting free speech and convincing children -- i'm saying children because they're not treating them like adults. they're not educating them on the importance of the constitution. the nra, of course. everyone loves to beat up on the nra. there was a professor a the a community college in ohio who said he needs to gather up some friends, arm themselves, and shoot up the nra until there were no survivors. he said, look, there's only one solution. a bunch of us anti-gun types are going to have to arm ourselves, storm the nra headquarters in fairfax, virginia, and make sure there are no survivors. >> that's horrible. >> the interesting point is he said us anti-gun folks are going to have to arm ourselves. you know they're not armed in the first place. >> which is funny. but then to play out some of these awful situations we've seen all around the country. >> it's completely wrong. it really is awful. wrong is wrong. imagine if there's
