Opportunity askiller. Im david webb in for sean. Over the weekend during a pod cast with a comedian mark marron president obama sparked controversy during a discussion about race. When he used the n word to convey his point. Listen to this. Racism we are not cured of it. Clearly. And its not just a matter of it not being polite to say [ bleep ] in public. Thats not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. Its not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies dont overnight completely erase everything that happened two to three hundred years later. Did the dialogue you just heard advance the discussion about race . Joining me eric guster executive are director of the tea party. Net and Fox News Contributor denene. President obamas comments and the dignity of the office . Its outrageous. He has absolutely lowered the standard in terms of being president of the United States. He made no mention of racism in america when he ran for president not once but twice. I have dubbed him to do rapper in chief for using such language. You should see all the hate mail im getting. Im being attacked for president obama using such language on the national platform. What are young people thinking . What are people thinking this stming from the president of the United States . Its outrageous. It sounds like youre talking about the office of the presidency regardless of whoever sits there. Niger lets go to you on this. The president s use of the n word . I dont care so much about the president s use of the n word. I do agree with denene shes got a great line. I think she stole it from me rapper in chief. That is the president. Its also entertainer in chief. Hes tapped into the Entertainment Market and used it successfully. I think the context is much more important. The fact that today we had an extraordinary day in South Carolina. Where you had nicky haley, the first Indian American governor of South Carolina. Flanked by one of two black republicans of the senators in the United States senate, tim scott who is republican. You have this extraordinary moment where these folk remove or say that they plan to remove the Confederate Flag from the state grounds, you have the extraordinary moment about how far weve come as a country. And the fact that we are moving Forward Together in South Carolina charleston all over this country. This president feels the context of where he used that n word what he was saying is that things have not changed. Lets go to governor haley. This is what she had to say about removing the Confederate Flag. We do not need to declare a winner and a loser here. We respect freedom of expression. For those who wish to show respect for the flag on their private property nobody will stand in your way. The state house is different. The events of this past week call upon us to look at this in a different way. Today, we are here in a moment of unity in our state without ill will to say its time to move the flag from the capitol grounds. And lets go back in time. This is of course former president and former governor bill clinton, but show this. The blue star above the word arkansas to commemorate the Confederate States of america. A different application there. To our other guests eric guster how are you . Im great, how are you . Your take on the president s statement and the context . The context was very clear. The president was speaking about Race Relations and how things have come far, however, a lot of people have to understand that just not saying the n word in public is not necessarily saying that racism is totally eradicated. It was his context was clear. What denene was saying about rapper in chief that was totally inappropriate. He wasnt saying it in a rap lyric or saying this just to be casual. Al he was talking about the deep rooted areas of racism we have to deal with. Im in birmingham alabama. Where is the racism eric . The man was elected twice. Let me ask you this question denene asked it. Ill put it in a different context or in a different frame. Is america institutionally racism thats racism which required codified law, a social acceptance, a silent acceptance and bias prejudice in some form black, white in any form will always exist. Is american institutionally racist or are there racists in america . Definitely. From the boardroom to the courtroom. We have to deal with those people. Just like this mourron who killed nine people. He was a racist. We have to deal with those Different Levels of racism and start addressing it. Some people have said the president has not talked about racism. When he finally does hes getting attacked. He did the right thing by putting it in context. Back to denene the question is are we institutionally racist . I say were not. We dont have codified law like slavey. What we see in South Carolina is a rejection by all ethnisties of this. Our country has made amazing strides. The three, four of us on national television. Obama was elected twice it wasnt only with black voters. A black senator from South Carolina. Here were talking about a flag and racism again. That people are saying that is rampant in america. America is an exceptional country. Americans can work hard and apply themselves no matter who you are, anything can happen as long as you do that. There is always bias in life. We have to be honest about it. It can happen, black, white, asian, female. We deal with bias. We have law and a societal rejection of that. We are not static. Were not where we were in the 60s. Are we somewhere else . Were way somewhere else. We are moving forward as a country. Look we of all travelled around the world. And racism or bigotry is part of the human condition from africa to europe to asia tribalism, all types of religious animosity that exists. And bigotry that exists. America has come so far. So relatively quickly. You know its not often i quote a black democrat. Let me quote herald ford who took issue with the president using the n word. He says the challenge of our age for not just minorities but working class folk is education. We need education reform. Back to you, eric. Youve heard from both denene and niger again. Havent we evolved so we can have an honest discussion . I dont want to talk about the use of the n word. I agree on the office being more important. Were not talking about the issue, were talking about a word. Well were talking about the word and the issue. Because just like the president said in that podcast, it is not saying the word in public does not mean that racism is gone. We have to get to the deep rooted issues and start listening to each other opposed to just battling rams like on the mountain where we dont listen to each other. We have come a long way. I agree with that 100 . Just like what denene said we have four africanamericans on national tv right now discussing this. We have come a long way. But we have a long way to go. Thats why its important to have those discussions open kugs and not be pc about it so we cant have the discussions. We wont be dishonest about it as americans. I believe this country i think we all agree, eric niger denene weve come a far way. There will always be bias. We deal with those individual instances, eric thank you, denene niger great to see you.

Following the shooting in charleston last week liberals and the media tried to use the event to push for increased gun control. Karl rove weighed in on the issue yesterday on fox news sunday. Watch this. Weve come a long way. Maybe theres some magic law that will keep us from having more of these. I mean basically, the only way to guarantee that we would dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to remove guns from society. Until somebody gets enough oomph to repeal the second amendment, thats not going to happen. Now former deputy chief of staff and advisor to president george w. Bush karl rove. Good to see you again. Thank you. You caught a few peoples ears lets call it that. I read it. And i looked at im guessing there was a little bit of sar sarcassism in there, was there . Look people always in moments like this some politicians look for magic answers. I dont think this is an answer. As i said i went on to describe what i think we ought to be focused about. We had warning signs from this young man. He talked to friends about it, other individuals about it. He went on the internet and openly explained what he was going to do. Somehow or another we missed those signs. We need more personal responsibility in our society. In my opinion, in which friends and family and Community Care about each other enough to take these things seriously. The idea that somehow or another this could have been prevented by some gun control act, it just simply is not accurate. I mean take chicago. It has some of the toughest gun control laws on the books, yet, its a murder capital. Its because when you take away the peoples right to keep and bear arms bad people keep and bear arms. And use them. So as i said yesterday on fox news sunday, this is not an answer. What is the answer thats needed . Or at least one of the answers, theres not one either or theres not a magic bullet. I agree with you on that. And were never going to repeal the second amendment. I think that point you made. We shouldnt its not going to happen. We shouldnt. Im not suggesting its even a good idea. But i do think this i think first of all, evil exists. Weve got to recognize that in our fallen condition there will always be evil. And in this specific instance i do worry that we had some warning signs that people should have picked up on. And didnt. He was on the enterinternet saying these things. He was saying these things to friends, probably to family as well. Somehow or another people didnt care enough or take responsibility for their fellow citizens enough seriously enough to do something about it. This is what the president had to say about this. Al of course the Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. You dont see murder on this kind of scale with this kind of frequency in any other advanced nation on earth. Whats different is not every country is awash with easily accessible guns. I am not and will not be afraid to keep fighting for commonsense reforms and along with you, achieve those on behalf of those who have been lost because of the senseless gun violence in our country. The president makes a statement, he pulls the agenda into it. And then Hillary Clinton plays to it. Youve been in that white house. What do you think . Well what i was interested was, earlier in the week the president basically said look this were not going to get additional gun control measures. On friday is when he ramped up the pressure. I think the president should have stayed away from the issue all together. I do not think he helps his cause. I do not think he serves the nation well by doing this. I think it would have been better for him to have been talking about how we as a society have a responsibility to love a neighbor like wed like to be loved ourselves. In this instance we had somebody who was espousing hate. Rather than raising concern, talk to people in authority, talk to the family raise warning signs when these warning signs were raised people didnt act. Thats what we ought to be focused on as a country. We ought to be focused on the incredible example we have of how evil was met by love. Admittedly by grief. I hate it had to be in a situation that was accompanied by grief. This is an incredible example of reconciliation that is taking place in the United States particularly in the south. I thought nicky haley this afternoon standing next to her was the first africanamerican since the reconstruction era to be a senator from the south. And standing next to her was Lindsey Graham who had previously opposed the removal of the Confederate Flag. There was this recognition by South Carolina as a community that it was time to return that flag to the museum where it belonged and to remove the hateful symbol that so many people in the state of South Carolina saw as a hateful symbol. I thought it was an incredible moment. Thats where the president ought to be focused. Not for something that is for political points and a cause that he has championed that had no success. The reality is no one is going to remove the second amendment. It will never be overturned in the United States. Thank you. Joining me now with reaction is president of the Crime Prevention center and charles cook. Thank you for joining me. First to you, john when you take a look at this situation, how its played out, what do you have to say to the president s remarks . Well i guess the thing that most disappoints me with regard to the president is he just keeps on putting out information thats clearly false. I mean in the clip you had,b the United States doesnt have the highest murder rate among developed countries. Lock at russia brazil those are countries that have three to five times higher murder rates than what we have here in the United States. There are other countries which are similar to us. You know the other types of claims he was making last week were that these mass public shootings only occur in the United States. The worst mass public shooting thats occurred has been in norway where 67 people were killed and 110 injured. If you look at europe and the United States not even taking into account a lot of really bad places in the world, the United States ranked eighth in terms of per capita mass public shooting deaths from 1999 on. Thats not accounting for things like bombing deaths with russia which has like twice as many bombing deaths as we have mass shootings. So lets bring this home to the United States. Youre right. Those are the numbers. Theyre horrific. We have murder rates gun crimes that have dropped. Thats been tracked over the last three decades. We have this narrative. I want to bring this into it which is whats being pushed here by the media, by the images. We have this image of a gun pointed at ted cruzs head. This is a picture that was taken by ap at about seven or eight hours later was posted. So is this deliberate . Is this narrative being pushed . They wouldnt have done it if it was barack obama or Hillary Clinton. Why do it if its ted cruz . They reflexes dont kick in with ted cruz like Hillary Clinton. On the previous point, i think john made a great point. On the specifics obama has forwarded. I understand this more as someone who used to be antigun. Obama said on the pod cast the other day, that if we had passed sensible gun control two years ago we dont know what would have happened in charleston. I think its worth saying its not true. If you look at the three things obama wanted to push. They were assault weapons ban, the limit on the size of magazines and they were background checks on all Sales Private and public. They wouldnt apply to this. Its not just that im saying they dont work. They dont. They dont intersect. He used a. 45 caliber handgun. He seems to have had a standard magazine. He passed a background check. There was a report saying he got it from his father. Obama is not leveling with the public. We will level with the public here on hannity. Thank you both. Coming up tonight. Just the love of all of the families for the victims. Was so overwhelming that it out weighed the hate that he had for them. The grandfather and daughter and widow of the one of the victims right here on hannity on how their family is dealing with the tragedy. Later dr. Keith ablow reacts to dylanns roofs step mother saying he was radicalized by i built my business with passion. But i keep it growing by making every dollar count. Thats why i have the spark cash card from capital one. I earn unlimited 2 cash back on everything i buy for my studio. And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business. Thats huge for my bottom line. Whats in your wallet . Welcome back to hannity, as the emmanuel ame church in charleston continue to recover after last weeks shooting. The out pouring of love and support from across the country has been a source of healing for the families of the victims. The grand daughter of the reverend Daniel Simmons who was killed in the attack. Talked about coping with this tragedy in an emotional interview yesterday. Take a look. We want to focus on our grandfather and the other victims and making sure the communities and the families heal. Charleston has been a great example to the rest of the country as well. We just really really appreciate how everyone has come together. And like people of all races, all religions, genders, orientation. At the prayer vigil we went to everyone was there. And it was just so overwhelming and just so wonderful to see everyone coming together. Not to bash or to talk about the suspect. But to celebrate the lives and to heal together. Joining me now are members of reverend Daniel Simmons family, grand daughter and his widow. As i look at that picture of you and your family i see a beautiful loving family. No one can imagine the tragedy. But youre strong and your statements alana, just unbelievable. First to you, alana, how are you doing now and how do you feel . Im doing remarkably well. Actually ive had a lot of support from the community, from family from friends. I would like to my entire family were doing remarkably well thanks to everyones outpour of love. I cant imagine losing a husband, losing your mate. When you look at the Community Around you, what do you hear . What do you feel . How does their support come through to you . For the past few days since this incident happened it has been an outpouring of support from the community, the church community. The corporate world community. And many friends. And i really feel very strong very grateful. And im thankful. Id like to say at this time i send a heart felt thanks to everyone for their great support. And out pouring of love. When the two of you and your Family Members are together and, again, you know not being there the country looks but they see the images how do you take the discussion beyond what just happened . What else do you talk about . Well we talk we pray. Before we discuss anything we have family prayer. My grandfather was big on that. Whenever we went anywhere before we ate, before we did anything as a unit. We always had a prayer. Before we started with interviews and speaking to the nation about our grandfather, we had a prayer and a discussion open floor. We just decided, this is what were going to do. Wee going to honor our grandfather as if he were still here. Were going to talk about the things that he loved. Were going to talk about loving each other. Were going to talk about making sure that we as well as the other victims heal from this tragedy. Mrs. Simmons, when you interact with the younger members of your family maybe those that dont understand quite as well as a parent or as a grand parent how do you speak with them . As my grand daughter mentioned, prayer was a part of our family. Before we begin our day in the morning, we pray. This is where we gain our strength from because we look to the lord. When i communicate with the grandchildren, its always love. We do things together. We enjoy each other. And we have a great time. To piggy back on that my mother came up with this quote that she got it from my uncle. And it said that when we were talking about how, you know could god allow Something Like this to happen in his own house. She said that she heard this quote somewhere that said that god allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves. And weve seen that here in charleston. To be honest on our way here we were nervous. We didnt know what the city was going to be like when we got here considering the circumstances of what had just occurred. When we got here it was an overwhelming calming peace. And we just cant say how much we appreciate the love and the support from everyone. I can say this that you two actually help lift my spirits. Hearing you talk seeing the love between your families. Youre so wellspoken alana, youve got a Bright Future ahead of you. Thank you. This shows family how it works great as a unit. Youre a great example. Thank you. Thank you. Joining me with reaction fox and friends cohost ainsley earhardt. The picture that i saw of them you know body language you kind of look at it and you see a family thats supporting each other, kind of leaning on each other, close together. A wellspoken young lady and parent. Imagine that times nine. Thats how every Family Member was. Everyone we talked to that goes to that church it was remarkable how these victims handled the situation. You heard them all speaking in the courtroom, which is very rare for a judge to even allow that. So the Family Members that we were talking with and their friends, were saying they were so grateful that the judge allowed that. Because it was a chance for them to share their faith, just like the Simmons Family just did. To tell the rest of the world that their loved ones did not die in vain. There is a purpose in this they feel like god is in this. They dont understand they will miss their loved ones. They trust them enough to know there is good thats going to come out of this evil. Youre from the palmetto state. I have friends down there, and its something about that community, ive been to charleston. This is one of the worlds top tourist destinations. Thats condy nast. Its got a communal feel to it. Being a native local, what was it like for you . First of all, you understand why people want to visit charleston. You understand why so many people are moving there. And the Real Estate Market is booming in charleston. Because not only is the cost of living better than it is in the northeast. The community the quality of living. The quality of people. Its amazing. Everyone goes to church on sunday mornings. Im not saying not being preachy and you have to be in church. We all grew up like that. With a value system to love one another and look at everyone as gods child. There is racism but we were anot to not focus on that but to change the next generation. Thats what im getting from alana. There a another generation coming from that young lady. Mean people will ask that dont have faith why does god allow bad things to happen to good people. I wrote it down so i can put this in my notes. Im going to share this with people. God allows what he hates sometimes to accomplish what he loves. And i think thats the message that charlestons are feeling throughout this. I was so proud to be from South Carolina. Because of the way they handled the situation. Ainsley earhardt fox and friends cohost. The step mother of the alleged Church Shooter says he was radicalized by what he read on the internet. Keith ablow will be here with his reaction. Im proud how the network dealt with this. Took issues of credibility and integrity seriously. And made brian pay a heavy price.

The wum whoonoman who helped raise the alleged mass shooter and was married to his father. Is speaking out about what may have led him to commit this horrific. His step mother said he was a loner who was radicalized by what he found on the internet. Joining us is dr. Keith ablow. Dr. Ablow, just i find the statement i dont want to say ignorant but aloof from the situation. To blame it automatically on the internet. I think its a little bit pat. You know it depends who is receiving that information. So you know most of us gratefully can receive lots of information, some of it very dark. But not act out, not become violent. I think in this case there were lots of signs that dylann roof was compromised psychologically. Unfortunately nobody got him the help he needed in order to not become violent. That help could have been delivered. Lets go to the broken family that we have here. I dont say you blame it on that. Look at whats happened. His friends knew about this. They were on facebook. We have a kid who has failed ninth grade twice according to some reports. He drops out of school. You know when that all breaks down is it easier to then fall into other messages . Well i think it is. You know people saying you got to control guns no youve got to respond to mental illness. And recognize it where it exists. I dont know the ins and outs of this young mans psychiatric history. We do know that he failed ninth grade twice. He was sometimes largely confined to his room. He hadnt gotten apdrivers license according to his uncle at age 19. This isolative nature and the fact that he then tells people in sort of a brazen way i want to start a race war. Many Mental Illnesses that can leave people to feel aggrieved as if everyone is against them and if they have great challenges that is delusional in the world. Yet, the psychiatric illness can propel that thought. It was is it psychiatric illness . We dont know for sure. We dont know for sure. It could be such an evil kid. 21 youre a man, maybe youre not fully developed and not as old as us two guys here with more experience. Lets face it we cant ignore the fact that hes someone who is just bad. We could debate a long time how much evil is illness mask raiding at that evil. Here we have someone who was described as abusing more than one gun. A friend took away his gun because he was too ineeberated and talking nonsense. How does nobody call 911 or drive the kid to an er for a psychiatric evaluation . Which by the way could have triggered help. A lot of people who are that tenuous, will tell a Mental Health clinicians i intend to hurt people. Nobody got him that help because we have very out dated notions about what mentally ill people look like. So what do we do Going Forward . What is done out of this . They talk about the lessons that need to be learned. How we move forward. State centers, psychiatry what else needs to be done . We need a campaign to say if you have concern for somebody who seems as though they might become violent. Dont think of them as bad, think of them as potentially ill. Dont we have that because we have if you see something, say something, its part of the american existence. It doesnt seem to translate to someone you might know who may be going bad or has gone bad. It doesnt seem to david. People dont even know theyre supposed to bring folks to ers or call 911 in circumstances like this. You have the president of the United States saying its about the firearms. What . Its not about the firearms listen if you want to be a serious person and a real leader. Deal with the fact our psychiatric and Mental Health systems have broken down and become a sham. An embarrassment in this country. What does he want to do . Dissempower people collect their forms. How about empowering people by getting them well. I get sick of the blame the device. A gun never picked itself up and shot anybody. This is about the person. You can read dr. Ablows oped on our website. Go to opinion. Foxnews. Com. We took situations seriously and made brian pay a heavy price. Well have reaction to chuck todds comments about you wouldnt order szechuan without checking the spice level. It really opens the passages. Waiter. Water. So why would you invest without checking brokercheck . Check your broker with brokercheck. Before i had the shooting, burning, pinsandneedles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet grew up in a family of boys. Married my high school sweetheart. And pursued a degree in education. But i couldnt bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. So i talked to my doctor and she prescribed lyrica. Nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. Lyrica is fdaapproved to treat this pain. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new, or worsening depression or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. Now i have less diabetic nerve pain. And i love helping first graders put their best foot forward. Ask your doctor about lyrica. Doug. Youve been staring at that for a while, huh . Listen, Td Ameritrade has former floor traders to help walk you through that complex trade. So youll be confident enough to do what you want. Ill pull up their number. Blammo. Lets get those guys on the horn. Oooo. Looks like it is time to upgrade your phone, douglas. For all the confidence you need. Td ameritrade. You got this. Welcome back to hannity. Nbc newss chuck todd showering praise on how his network handled the Brian Williams crisis. Watch this. Im proud how this network dealt with this. Took it seriously, took issues of credibility and integrity seriously. And made brian pay a heavy price. And i also am glad to work for a company that provides an opportunity to earn back trust and earn second chance. Joining me now for reaction author of the new Book Television is the new television. The unexpected triumph of old media. Michael wolfe. Talking about something that has been going on for 50 or so years in this country, the modern age of television trustworthiness with our anchors, chuck todd the Brian Williams controversy. Here he is telling the story initially of the helicopter and how he was shot at in on the nightly news. The story actually started with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq. When the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. Our traveling nbc news team was rescued surrounded and kept alive by an armored mechanized platoon from the u. S. Army third infantry. A lot of controversy comes out of that. Television where are we now . What about Nbcs Chuck Todd . You know i think chuck todd is not only completely wrong, i think hes delivering the line he was told to deliver. And its a line speaking of trustworthiness that no one at the network believes. Everyone at nbc believes they messed this up. That it was a kind of ultimate case botched crisis management. Did Brian Williams exaggerate . Did he tell storys . Absolutely. But there is a sense of proportion that got way out of control here. And the network, the network was not able to control its own fate its own destiny and kind of sort of let brian twist in the wind. Lets go to this next cut, and this is Brian Williams again, cut lets listen to him on letterman. Two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire including the one i was in. No kidding. Rpg and ak47. So we got hit, we set down everyone was okay our captain took a purple heart injury to his ear in the cockpit, but we were alone. Heres where i look at this none of us work in the vacuum. Youre an expert on media. We dont work in a vacuum. Producers know. Other people know. You say nbc is putting the line out, chuck todd is putting that line out, but didnt someone at the network know likely what was going on . You mean did they know what was going on with with Brian Williams and his story . Probably not. I dont think anyone really focused on it. I dont think anyone really knew what was happening. I dont think that it crossed anyones mind least of all brians mind that he was setting out to tell a concerted lie here. I think its listen it is unfortunate that it happened. It shouldnt have happened. But does it bring the world crashing down around us that it did happen . No. I think it only does to a certain kind of heated group in the media, the journalism with a capital j crowd. Im an old school journalist. Call it Integrity Matters, new orleans, Brian Williams talking about a dead body. Watch this. When you look out of your hotel room window in the French Quarter and watch a man float by facedown when you see bodies that you last saw in banda aceh indonesia and swore you would never see in your country i accidentally ingested some of the floodwater. I became very sick with dysentery. Our hotel was overrun with gangs. I was rescued in the stair well of a fivestar hotel in new orleans. Television is the new television Integrity Matters today.
