Why cant we talk about bias like weve just done and not label someone a racist? i know medicalnknow mels not a youre not a racist but cant we talk about how we all have a bias? >> and how it seeps into our perceptions and people ourselves, our friends and think about where does this bias show up in myself and how can i check myself each day or be aware of it when it comes up so its not guiding my perceptions, my life, or -- or making decisions for me in a way thats maybe destructive. >> interest...

Youve been there. how is team usa looking? can we pull it off? >> look, i believe the u.s. has a great opportunity to win this match. when we look at how the u.s. has played at times and the confidence that they have, nothing seems to get them down. while the belgian team, yes, they went through the group stage all right but it wasnt good play for the entirety of matches. it was just a few spells when the subs came in and they got the goals. so i think the u.s., if they can get a goal early and ...

Seriously. but i wonder if you think at any point there is a sense of responsibility that any of these guys feel. its certainly good for fund-raising, its good for firing up the base, but in the broader sort of national discourse, what this does to participate oar elections is fairly insidious. theres been so much analysis about where the republican party needs to go, do you ever think theres a moment of self-reflection after rick perry takes a turn on stage like that? >> i think that a lot of t...
