Charlottesville. People noticed thisee and today espn released a statement in response saying the comments on twitter from her jemele hill do not represent the position of espn. We have addressed this with jemele andnd she recognizes her actions were inappropriate. Whatever that means, clay travis may know something about this. He writes and joins estimates. Clay, what exactly does that mean we have addressed it with an anchor. Is that punishment . It means that nothing actually happened because jemele hill is saying the higher ups at espn believe. I think this goes all the way to the top, tucker. Bob iger, the ceo of disney, follows 59 people on twitter. One of them is jemele hill. I think what has happened iss disney and espn has decided we want to be a left wing sports network. So if a guy like Curt Schilling comes out and he says oh, i disagree with the North Carolina transgender bathroom law, he gets fired. If a guy like mike ditka says i dont think barack obama was a good president and im voting for donald trump, he gets fired. But if jemele hill comes out and says donald trump is a white supremacist and the only reason he got elected president is because is he white and all of his supporters are effectively bigots, she gets rewarded, wrapped on the knuckles. She continues to do her show because bob iger and john skipper, the ceo of disney and president of espn, agree with her and want left leaning politics to be the forward facing front of espn. Tucker remember when glenn beck said Something Like that about barack obama and the world stopped. And everyone denounced him immediately. Is there a huge market for left wing sports analysis . [laughs] well, the easy answer, tucker, would be look at espns ratings. They are collapsing. Another idea would be look at their business model. Inps they have lost 13 million subscribers in the past few years. And they are alienating their core audience, which is guys and girls who just want to pop a beer ande, watch a football game. They dont want to hear that Colin Kaepernick is a modernday rosa parks. T they have dont want to hear, tucker, that someone like Caitlin Jenner is a hero that everyone should aspire to be or that michael sam, because he likes to sleep with men, is a modernday jackie robinson. Those are things that espn wants to sell. Thats why i call them msespn. Look, no, its not a strong business strategy. Ms i always like to point to michael jordan. A guy who became a billionaire because is he good at putting a ball in a basket and good at dunking the basketball. Do yousk remember what he said . Republicans buy sneakers too. Well, if espn were smart, they wouldnt be going to war with conservatives and republicans and donald trump voters. They would be acknowledging that this should be the backbone of their brand. Instead they are pushing him away saying that your white supremacist, you are not welcome here. I dont know how people who voted for donald trump can feel comfortable at all watching espn when they know the values that that network espouses and how unwelcome their own values are. Tucker no, they sound like the Sociology Department at bennington college. Wn so out of touch with america. R there have to be people at espn who have to understand this is a terrible business decision. Are there . Do they speak up . Are they taken seriously . They do speak up, tucker. And they speak out to me. If you remember i broke the robert lee story. The reason why i broke that story is not because i got some errant email sent toot me. Its because people inside espn were tipping me off. I broke the story w about them firing 100 people. E. I hear they are going to fire another 100 people here soon because the business is collapsing around them. And because the analogy i use, tucker, espn feyess faces a lot of difficulties in the modern era. They have decided instead of treading water which was already going to be difficult. Lets see what happens ifid when we hold this gigantic rock over our heads left wing politics maybe that will keep us from drowning, instead its helping them to drown faster. They dont seem smart enough to recognize it. Its an absolute joke. Tucker i was about 40 before i realized that a lot of people in charge are not competent. This is another example. Clay, thanks for reporting on this. Nd nice to have someone with the facts and have you them. Thank you. Appreciate yall having me, thanks a lot. Tucker contributing editor of National Review online and keen observer of this. Good to see you. Good to see you, tucker. Tucker what do you make of this, the turn left by espn . Who is being served here . To balance it out, you might want to give out last minute sports scores or Something Like that. Tucker thats a good point. Thats not what i do. I dont get into it. Yeah, people are lookingg for sports, they dont watch your program or hannity and people should be able to turn to espn and get sports scores and play by play and not have to listen to all of the controversies and hair pulling that occupy our country everywhere else outside of sports programming. Tucker thats a fair point. Its not just political and certainly not subtle, i mean what jemele hill said is really hardedgedn stuff. Its not supported by the facts. Not at all. Tucker impugning the character of a huge percentage of the country. Why . Look, its all partrt of this antitrump narrative that is he a white supremacist and therefore is a racist, therefore you cant cooperate with him and he should be run out of office at the earliest given opportunity. This is not held up by the facts. As we sit here speaking right now, President Trump is meeting with six members of the senate, three republicans, and three democrats. At they are talkingpu about tax reform. I assume that his secretary of state Steve Mnuchin is there and his chief Economic Advisor gary cohn. They are both jewish. How many White Supremacists e dine with jews, not very many, i dont think. He campaigned in black neighborhoods. He went to a church in detroit and another in flint, michigan, kindly asked for the support of black voters which is one of the very first republicans i have actually seen do that. In fact, he won 8 of the black vote. Thats not a big number but thats a third more than mitt romney won back in 2012. He also won about 28 of the hispanic vote and about 32 a or about one in three hispanic men. So, you look at the way hehr campaigned and the way he has governed, President Trump has met with a couple dozen president s of the m historically black colleges and universities, offered his support. Opened up an office in the white house to support them. You saw him just last week t down in houston comforting the victims of hurricane harveyv including playing with and kissing black children. Again, not the kind of behavior you would expect out of a white supremacist. This is just a great bigig leftwing lie and all designed to advance thee political agenda independet of the facts or reality or thee truth. Tucker pretty divisive way to conduct politics. R there are lots of things to say about the trump administration, some of them unflattering. Why always go s racist . Its not a new thing on the leftwhitee the White Supremacy claim. Il last year hillarys campaign tried to suggest the slogan make America Great again was itself racist. Hillary just made this point again in this interview with jane pauley. You pointed out in a pieceus a that they forgot a key fact bill clinton once used that phrase as well. Watch. We have got the tape. I ask you to join with me today to give me your hands and your heart, to give me your prayers and your help. I believe that together we can make America Great again. Tucker its kind of weird. Thank you for finding that, by the way. Remarkable. Tucker kind of weird to look at that and say boy, thats a racist slogan. Really . In what way . s i guess donald trump stole that from bill clinton. Only White Supremacists when trump says it. When Hillary Clintons husband said it, i guess its a warm toasty friendly callon to patriotism or Something Like this. Again, the democrats dont have any ideas. They are fresh out of ideas. They dont have agenda. There is no program. There is no vision. F all they have left is to try to stir racial tension and get people at each others a throats and somehow they hope to divide and conquer. Disgusting and unpatriotic and unamerican way to conduct Public Affairs in this country and they should be deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves. Nd tucker also worrisome s long term. Where does this wind up . How does this end, this story . Em it depends ifst things turn around in this country and we Economic Growth and prosperity and things bounce back. Nt t largely, these things go away. Very often, you find in countries, people have trouble paying their bills it leads to family tensionon and racial tension and you see what has happened in the last few weeks is racial mayhem and bloodshed in the streets. It doesnt turn out very well. N democrats need to stop. They disagree with donald trump on his policies, great. Lets have a policy discussion. Throwing around racism, racism, nazi and White Supremacy is about as ugly as it gets. Tucker i agree with you. I it crosses the line. Come on now. T it blows the line up completely. Tucker thanks for coming on tonight. Thanks for having me, tucker. Ke tucker hurricane arman has destroyed our corner of the homes. For an update on the aftermath, we are joined by adam housley who has been in the keys since wednesday and is still there in key largo tonight. Yeah, tucker. Been here since last wednesday. This is the first time we have seen it similar to last wednesday or last thursday, actually. The lights came back on. Last night we drove through here after we did your show. Htht i almost missed the turn tow. The hotel because it was so dark. Only light was starlight basically at that hour. Now its good to see the electricity back on here in this part of key largo and starting to trickle on down the keys depending on where you are. E. Cell Service Still very spotty here. Water, depending on where youce are, also can be spouty. Most stores have yet to open, although we did see some of the supplies come in to a number of different stores. Really, the tough news here tonight. Death toll is 12 in florida due to hurricane irma. 55 all told if you count the caribbean nations and fema estimates as many as one quarter of the homes here have been destroyed or severely damaged. We have seen a lot ofn damage here. We have also seen a lot of homes that survived. Maybe the first floor was blown out which it was meant to do and second floor is just fine. A lot of recovery still to go here, tucker. The southern or the lower keys, i should say, still some concern there about infrastructure and possibly some searches that need to take place. For the most part, the keys are at least trying to get back to normal. He we are seeing a massive federal and state response here, tucker. Tucker thats heartening to hear. Adam, have you really done a lot work down there. Yeah. Tucker thanks for joining us. Thanks. Tucker california about to ban every public school, every hospital, every library from cooperating with federal immigration law. Really unprecedented. Up next, well talk to a supporter of the new sanctuary state status. Also, Hillary Clinton brought a pretty big crowd for a book tour.

Tucker the state of california, the biggest state in the country, is about to become a sanctuary state. Governor jerry brown and leaders in the state assembly have hammered out a deal that passes a law that will make it mandatory for every school, every library, every courthouse, every hospital in the state of california to hinder federal Immigration Enforcement as a matter of policy. Thats not californias only bill intended to protect illegal immigrants. Another bill just passed by the assembly would bar landlords from reporting suspected illegal immigrant tenants to the feds and expose them to lawsuits if they disobey. If they attempt to see the law enforced. Alex rostra is an immigration policy analyst with the Cato Institute in washington. He joins us. As a libertarian, you are obviously for property rights. Absolutely. Tucker why in the world as a matter of policy would the state protect criminals who steal other peoples property from deportation . C well, i dont think therero is any good reason to do that, but, when you look. Tucker this law does that. On the sanctuary bill sb 54, it actually lists 800 crimes where if you are convicted of and you followou into you get arrested. Te you get sent to jail for them. Ol then you are deported and thats an asset of the bill that i completely support. I think thats wonderful. But 800 crimes. I couldnt even list 800 crimes. Tucker why any crimes . Here is what i dont understand. People come to this country illegally. They almost invariably consume more in benefits than they pay into the economy. Thats been conclusively shown. Not necessarily. Tucker there are exceptions. But overwhelming majority consume more than they pay in. Fiscal evidence is pretty clear. Tucker they are here illegally. Why would you put up with any crime at all . I dont understand. U why is it our obligation to accept criminals illegally from other countries . Thats insane. It is to accept people who are criminals and what this does is it takes a look at people who are not violent or property offenders. People who havent violated the rights of other people. Who havent committed serious crimes or felonies. Tucker how about any crimes. Pl going to focus scarce Law Enforcement resources ones those who are actually harming other people. Tucker thats not what it says. Government only has scarce resources. Tucker state of california not worried about the federal governments budget problems. The state of california is not saying we are trying to save the u. S. Money. Nm the state of california is playing a very obvious political game where theypl are trying to win the support of illegal aliens in hopes of giving them the vote, as you know. But the thing is. Tucker its purely political. The costs do fall on california. Detainer that says if you are arresting an illegal immigrant, you have to turn them over to us. In california that means they are held, a person who is arrested is held for an extra 20 days in california jails. Its not its not compensated. Thats the government telling states and localities how to enforce laws and what to do. Im a believer until federalism. Tucker are you telling me with a straight face thisil is about the uncompensated custody that california has to s pay for. Its senators could be standing up right now and saying we are demanding federal funds, which they would get instantly, to cover this cost. But they are not. Because thats not what it is about. By the way, if thats the reason, then why are land lords in california, if this bill passes going to be in jeopardy for reporting to the feds their illegal tenants . It has nothing to do with the cost. The landlord part, i agree with you. Thats absurd. Unfortunately, california bears the cost of federal w Immigration Enforcement like any other state does when the feds tell them they have to hold these people in jail 20 days on average or more. Tucker a red herring and silly. Its a big cost that the taxpayers of california have to bear that they decided not to for in this case nonviolent and a number property criminals. Op why should we waste Government Resources on people who arent hurting people in this country. Tucker why is california giving benefits to illegal aliens . What benefit are you talking about . Tucker Public Schools . The Supreme Court in 1982 in a decision said that. Tucker how about medical care. Give public school. In terms of medical care, the federal government during the 1986 antala act also said Emergency Care tucker you think the state of california is upset about that. This is a lie. I dont want to play along with it anymore. As you know, it has nothing to do with cost. Le the presence of this illegals from california is a massive cost. They dont care. Its purely an effort to get votes. Im going to put you on the line here. Yeah. Tucker there is an effort in maryland right now o to allow people who areow noncitizens to vote in elections. Actually i think its being decided tonight. I could be wrong. Ec we are going to see this in california where illegals already get drivers licenses. Do you think noncitizens should be allowed to vote in the United States . No. Tucker okay. I dont think they should be allo
