new rasmussen poll illuminates that. when asked which racial group was most racist, 37% of americans say blacks. 15% say whites. 18% hispanics. even among african-americans themselves blacks come out as the top racist group, 31% of black henderson say their own race heads the list. while 24% consider whites the most racist group now the media wants to it part of any of that i guarantee you the poll will not be widely discussed. the only thing the american press will embrace is the specter of oppression. that is the if a white american kills a black american or any other minority, then the story gets cord. that's wrong. and causes racial division. we're supposed to be equal in this country. of course, that's impossible but it is a noble goal. no question the zimmerman trial is now a racial deal rather than a justice deal. and if george zimmerman is acquitted, by a jury of five white women and hispanic lady, it will be racial animus. wait and see. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, the latest on the zimmer

and back to the rebel argument, there was a poll that came out yesterday by scott rasmussen showing the vast majority of -- some are proud to be americans. not working for this guy. >> this dude, whatever he is, was anybody besides him saying bad things? >> paul krugman had an interesting column today and a lot of people on twitter had ridiculously stupid things to say. some people thought we were 2013 years old. >> did oliver stone say something. we're becoming a tyrannical regime. he said it in the czech republic, okay? which was like under the authoritarian regime of the soviet union. >> is that a blog? >> it's a blog. >> blog this. >> your fourth of july, kimberly, how was it? >> fantastic. i spent it with friends, fantastic food and great weather. these little mini corn dogs. i wanted to race bob and eat those. >>> you did actually eat most of them. i ate a lot. and i just enjoyed it. the weather was hot but it didn't rain. >> how about you guys? >> it was really good. i tried to get my hands on illegal fireworks in chinatown. did not. i feel a little less free today. >> great food

new rasmussen poll released this morning just 8% of americans believe the supreme court is doing excellentob. 20% think it's doing a good job. but 69% of americans do not think the highest court in the land is doing a good job. that's a huge drop in support. as you may know, i criticized the courts for loophole rulings and for being a political body. joining us from washington fox news political analyst charles krauthammer. do you agree with me on this? >> well, looking at the poll, the key fact about the poll that you neglected to mention is the date it was taken. was taken the day after and the day after that of the major rulings of the court. now, whenever the court rules on something really large like the voting rights act or gay marriage. you know it's going to alienate and anger a large part of the popu think that is a temporary phenomenon you expect that at the end of june every year. i think generally speaking if you ask the same people six months, nine months hence, i think people will show there will be a lot different result. >> bill: maybe. >> they have a sense of respect for i

people -- it's not just texas, there's a 2010 rasmussen poll that says 68% of likely voters think that securing the border is more important than granting amnesty to illegals. so this is nothing new. and yet the president himself has promised that he would secure the u.s. border with mexico. but then again, he also made a speech in may of this year in mexico condemning the sale of guns in the u.s. that have gone to mexico and of course we know his administration required that to be done. , so you can't just go by what's being said. the president promised to secure the border, it hasn't. the american people are sick of promises not being kept. and they want the border secure. i know that none of us want the border closed. as preciate immigration wonderful freshwater coming into this great lake, but it's going to sink the boat if it comes too fast. anyway, mixing my metaphors, but in the 1986 immigration reform and control act it promised in 1986 it would secure the border and not only that, it said, quote, that it would prevent and deter the illegal entry of aliens in the united states
