two stories from easter weekend, a teenager pushing a man in a wheelchair down south michigan avenue . story two, on the day before his 11th birthday, a boy riding his new bike in a south side neighborhood is fatally shot in the head in a drive-by shooting. the stories go on and on. sadly, there's no end to them. the easter weekend shootings came as federal authorities announced the specialized crimes unit to help rein in the gun culture. the announcement was low key made without a news conference or press release. when mayor rahm emanuel was asked about it monday, he didn't appear to have been filled in on any of the details, telling the paper, i don't know whether it means more resources, i don't know what it exactly is, but i'm pleased they're doing it. the goal of the 16-member task force appears to be to lock up violent criminals. it's a step for sure, but does it appear the bigger picture of the problem facing the city. thank you so much for being here, jameala. you are in my city and i am in yours. so the story of these shootings that took place over easter weekend sort of brou

opinions, including a 58-page dissent by justice sonia sotomayor who compared michigan's referendum to jim crow laws in the south, calling it, quote, the last chapter of discrimination. and writing that a majority of the michigan electorate changed the basic rules of the political process in that state in a manner that uniquely disadvantaged racial minorities. for more, i'm joined by "wall street journal" columnist, dan henninger, jason reilly and colin levi. colin, you wrote about this for us. the opinion was really splintered. a lot of opinions, different points of view. what should our viewers -- what should be the main takeaway from the opinion? >> right. the main takeaway here is that the justices got to the right answer. but they got there by the most incremental means possible. they found that states can ban racial preferences without violating the constitution, but as you said, it took them five opinions and 102 pages to do it. so it's pretty clear this opinion is not going to be a clear guiding light going forward. >> but very clear this opinion did not say that racial preferences are unconstitutional.

someone who is perceived as a minority owner and operates two stations in myrtle beach, south carolina and flint, michigan, it is overwhelming. we when we were trying to secure financing jp morgan said there was no way they would loan us the money unless we got a big guy to back the loan. luckily the owner of sinclair broadcasting i had known for 15 years and we talked about me owning stations for the last ten years. i was not that interested because of what it would require. $1.8 for myrtle beach and $1.4 million in flint for the license and what it cost to operate isn't something you can imaginm. >> host: could you have done it independently? can that be done? >> stand alones can't exist. that is my many can't make. it isn't just minorities. wives, women, people of all strives can't do it. this is a game for people like the sinclair broadcasting and the big boys. if you are not one of those, it is very difficult as a stand alone to compete for advertising dollars. advertisers like to buy big contracts. we are lucky that the shared agreements, sinclair broadcasting goes in and negotiates these and the tr

south carolina. that's not what we're talking about here in michigan, but i think given brown versus board of education, given the landmark civil rights legislation of the '60s and given the long run of history, there should be a special burden on states in regard to issues of race. as a remedy that helps redress those years of american history, then i don't think the ruling is justified. i don't think the court was justified in saying michigan can void that. but obviously this court disagrees. >> this case was contentious and also personal. justice clarence thomas has long opposed affirmative action. in the past he's reflected on it personally. back in 1982, he told "the new york times," i watched the operation of such affirmative action policies when i was in college, and i watched the destruction of many kids as a result. justice sotomayor wrote a scathing dissent that she read from the bench today. she wrote the sentiment of some of her colleagues was oit of touch with reality. race matters that cannot be discussed in i other way and it cannot be wished away. race matters to a young man's view of s

as a minority owner, as someone who already operates two stations in myrtle beach, south carolina, and flint, michigan, it's overwhelming, peter. because when we were trying to secure financing independently to buy these stations, jp more began flat out -- jpmorgan flat out told us there's no way they will loan us the money unless we get one of the big guys to guarantee our loan. fortunately for me, the owner of sinclair broadcast group i've known for 15 years, and we've talked about my owning broadcast stations for the last ten years. i was not really interested because of what it would require. i mean, it's one thing to buy, let's say a myrtle l beach license for $1.8 million, flint, michigan, license for $1.4 million. that's all well and good, but to actually operate that station for what it costs for negotiationing and syndication is just something that you cannot even imagine. >> host: could you have done it independently? besides the money issue, when it comes to or not toking these stations and making them profitable, could that, can it be done? >> guest: stand-alones cannot exist. that's why t
