circumstance. the notion that he is on a street corner, 2:00 in the morning, second coldest night of the year and there s suddenly two men that appear and assault him on the street, particularly in chicago, in that particular area in chicago, two trump supporters. it also seemed to have a number of beats to it that seemed like if you were writing it as a story. like an anti-trump statement. an anti-gay statement. a racist statement, a news. but i think part of the problem is a lot of stuff has been floated that is dem demonstrably not true. the first thing people say is why would he do this? there was the rumor that was floated out there that he was being written out of empire. fox came out immediately and said that s absolutely untrue. in fact, it s almost the opposite. was he in financial trouble? absolutely not, apparently.
yeah, donald trump, eddy, can t just take credit for that because it s a declining number that was shooting straight down. yeah, no, he can t take credit for it. one of the things that s so ironic about his innovation here is we see the underlying inequality in the labor market. you still see, right, the fundamental structural imbalance in the labor market. donald trump to invoke the black unemployment numbers. look at my black friend, i have one. it s terrible. the guy has like sensibilities of someone came of age in the 1940s and 1950s, as if that appeal was somehow would vindicate him of any racist views. look, black unemployment is low under my administration, as if that absolves of racist statement and sentiment. he can t take credit, a. and b, it doesn t help him at
free, i save my wife, and i kill awall the white people in the movie. how great is that? is that a racist statement by actor jamie foxx? is that something we should be upset about. we ll look at that situation as well. 95% of talk radio in our country is right wing. it s divided our country in a way that we haven t been divided probably since the civil war. some liberal americans like rfk, jr. think the conservative media is dominating the discourse. bernie goldberg has some thoughts on that. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the fatherror begins righ facto. i m bill o reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. confronting evil. that is the subject of this evening s talking points memo. we are living in a country that is rapidly changing.
you wrote about this one. it is sort of fresh in everybody s mind right now. you wrote about it in the washington post this morning that within this fiery debate there s an element of sanity. i want you to expand on that a little bit. before this incident, it wasn t a bad, you know, week for the racial dialogue in a certain way. the naacp came out with, i think, a responsible statement, calling on the tea party to repudiate its least responsible members. and then, of course, the tea party federation did that, with a racist statement by a radio talk show host named williams. and so there s some progress here. but there s also this broader problem. i completely agree. there are people on the left and the right who are looking for incidents like this to run over and over on television, on the internet. you know, they ll take something like a video clip or they ll take something like a picture from a single tea party rally of a questionable poster. and they ll try to turn an
senator he s more definitive that the president did not say that word and what i find interesting is the fact that we re focusing in on a word whether the president referred to the african countries as an s-hole or not, when he would rather have people come from norway rather than africa regardless of what he refers to africa has that makes it a racist statement. what do you believe? i think a lot of these things happening right now with the varying acts of what was said in the room come from the white house and its allies trying to have it both ways. they want to send off this dog whistle to parts of their base to tell them that they don t really want anyone coming here who isn t blonde hair blue eyed but on the other hand they got over their skis, they recommend the diplomatic impact is pretty widespread right now and the difficulty they re having is trying to have it both ways. they re trying to have both
