house. this is picture for that meeting. and for the second straight day the dow bounced on wall street. truly an unprecedented thick and it runs completely counter to many of the prognostications out there before. yet another record today after donald trump s win. michelle kosinski is outfront at the white house. michelle, the moment today of this meeting so many people thought 24e8d never see barack obama and donald trump meet, never mind as president and president elect at the white house. maybe even not the two people at the meeting. and tonight outside the white house more protests but inside today it was all about reassurance and everybody on their best behavior. what was so fascinating about this, on the one hand you have this incredibly organized transition process with handshakes and good wishes on all sides. but then on the other, you have this intense bitterness from the campaign trail. and today the white house didn t really hold back in saying that i have gr ....

i think what we need to focus on, whether it is black or white or or straight, making sure that we have hate crime laws like this throughout the country, that protect people like this individual that was brutalized by those four maniacs. to be when i don t believe in hate crimes laws. i don t think we should prosecute people based on their thoughts. you don t think is a hate crime? tucker: i think hate is involved, i m merely saying it is a separate category. i m also opposed to lying and downplaying something that is obvious. it is clear that this man s race and political position played a role. absolutely. tucker: that is not all clear from the accounts that were prevalent today. the associated press, and the first account, didn t measure tl angles. i wonder why that was. i don t know. what i can say here, the charges came down from the prosecutor, the final arbiter, there is no arbiter of the case. people reporting the facts, which is, this individual was charged ....
