Important from our nation to understand. you and i both grew up with white privilege, which means we didnt have to think about race first while growing up. that is not true for many african-americans and for many latino people. i think we need to acknowledge that important and distinct difference. >> tucker: let me stop you right there. you actually -- what you are doing is making a generalization based on race, which is a textbook definition of racism. you are assuming that a persons race is th...

About the truthfulness of statements here, this is bad strategy by the president and his legal team. you shouldnt have the president making a manifestly different representation of this. paul manafort is now who the president is calling mr. manafort saying, yeah, i think i remember him, claiming he was only involved in the campaign for a short period of time, trying to distance him from manafort saying we have no involvement in these legal troubles with the special counsel and this legal fbi rai...

What do you make of it? >> well, theres two aspects to this relationship. this case is dirtying up paul manafort. trump knows about this raid, and he is now taking steps to solidify with his base. he cant believe anything about paul manafort. hes a terrible person. hes having an affair with a woman younger than his daughter. the other side of this is the "national enquirer" has hushed up stories for trump, including making a settlement with a former playmate of the year to make sure she said not...

Unless they can solve or mitigate tensions between the house, senate and white house going forward its not clear how theyll get to the other things. >> that, at least is normal. remember that moment where harry reid tried to stand next to her and nancy pelosi inched a way. >> democrats had that. republicans have it now. more republican, and the president openly campaigning against the congress. complicating trying to cut a deal with your people. ehler in the week, thank congress, same people tha...
