Refugees a thousand miles away. These group of folks, we dont even know where theyre. They are way down there. They have been running on an imaginary caravan. This stupid [bleep] caravan. [laughter] you know, its a lie that this caravan is a problem of that magnitude. Programming on the caravan was propaganda. Tammy but now that supposedly made up caravan has indeed appeared. And government of tijuana is begging for help and calling it a humanitarian crisis. President trumps own efforts to secure the border are running into obstacles. The president recently blasted the 9th circuit of appeals for blocking his attempt at alterations for american asylum policy. Its a terrible thing when judges take over your protective services when they tell you how to protect your border. Its a disgrace. Essentially they are legislating. They are saying what to do. Some judge sitting in some location very far away is telling our incredible military and Law Enforcement what to do and its not right. I know that chief justice roberts, john roberts has been speaking a little bit about it and i think we have a lot of respect for him. I like him and i respect him. But i think we have to use some common sense, the 9th circuit, Everybody Knows its totally out of control. Tammy President Trump is also warning that he may have to shut down the entire u. S. mexico border. If we find that its uncontrollable, josh. If we find that it gets to a level where we are going to lose control or people are going to start getting hurt, we will close entry into the country for period of time until we can get it under control. Including the entire border. The whole board. I mean the whole board. Tammy Chris Hawaiian is a progressive radio host and former aide to Chuck Schumer. Hey, how are you doing, dear . Im doing good. Happy thanksgiving, tammy. Tammy same to you. We have very deverging opinions on whats going on there. You would have to admit, i think, the mayor of tijuana, this is a town that has dealt with immigration a great deal including with haitians. Yeah. Tammy who they said got jobs there and assimilated very easy. They are concerned about the violence and consider it a humanitarian crisis. Clearly thats happening in new mexico. What do you say to the mayor of tijuana when it comes to his attitude. Is he being racist about this or is this a real genuine problem . No. He hifts the nail on the head. Its a humanitarian crisis is what i have been saying and other progressives have been saying the last three months. The president has been presenting it as existential threat to our sovereignty as the United States as if we were being invaded by a foreign country. If i was a member of the border patrol, i would be insulted that the president of the United States did not think that i was capable of doing my job of protecting the border. They have faked these kind of caravans since the 1990s. This is not new. The president exploited this humanitarian crisis, which it is for political gain. And i think sometimes he believes his own talking points when he talks about this stuff. And the judge in the 9th circuit that he was alluding to, he wasnt making up the law. The president was trying to take a pen to a law that Congress Passed and a former president signed. And president s are not allowed to do that the judge is enforcing the law. Tammy there is already disagreement on that, of course. The president is going to apeople he will certainly prevail here. He will lose. Tammy we havent seen this kind of caravan dynamic. What we saw, of course, at the mexico, guatemala border, chris, is very indicative of the difference here. The complaint with tijuana is the violence here, the kind of the nature of whats been going on with this particular caravan. And also the caravans have not experienced a real commitment at the american border to stop them. So this is inherently different. There are thousands more individuals involved. Now, many have taken mexico up on their ability to get jobs and to have some healthcare and which is great news. Yeah. Tammy at this point you are looking at individuals from we know there is at least 500 criminals. We know we have got to be able to assess them properly in getting in here. What do you think they should be allowed to come in or do you think that there should be an orderly framework here . No. I think there should be an orderly framework here. From what i understand people in this caravan are going to seek asylum which is legally the way you can come here one of the ways you can come here legally. I dont think they are climbing the wall. I dont think. Tammy theyre climbing the wall right there. They are climbing the wall, as a matter of fact. Buff we lets move on. There is no wall. Tammy theyre climbing the fences that exist now and of course the president is going to make this difficult because we do have to have some order there. Im glad you agree we have to have some order. I know you want to talk about this, chris. Nobody thinks people should climb the fence. Thats not what we want. Tammy they are also not going to rush, you know, barriers. At any rate, Hillary Clinton ran on continuing high immigration into the u. S. But in an interview with the guardian, im sure you have seen hillary suggest time to cush stop the rise of right wing political party. She said quote i think europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame. I think it is fair to say europe has done its part and must send a very clear message. We are not going to be able to continue to provide refuge and support because if we dont deal with the migration issue, it will continue to royal the body politic. Chris, how is this not just trans actional politics and throwing immigrants under the bus . Hillary missed the point there. Whats happening in europe right now far right party are scapegoat immigrants because they cant figure out a way to deal with the stagnant economy that has hit most of europe especially low skilled workers of europe. I think that secretary Hillary Clinton missed the point completely there where she is giving aid and comfort to that thought that far right in europe. I completely disagree with her. Tammy wait, wait, chris. Transactional at best. Tammy many people are shocked at this. This is all she has done. She has been a transactional politician from the very beginning. Yeah. Tammy no way to explain the defense of manch act and dont ask dont tell. The two worst cases of violating gay civil rights in this country. When you actually in the 20th century decide to shred them because it was transactional because it was going to get them something. Both clintons act this way. This is why she lost in part because shes stands for nothing. The democrats stand for nothing realty stage. Heres the thing though, tammy. She is just making a speech and blowing hot air. The president of the United States we talked about these things, he is the president of the United States. And his words need to be taken very seriously. I dont like what she said but i also dont like whats being said by some far right politicians who hold office in this country who need to tamper down their talk about immigration. Immigration made the country great and continue to make it great. Tammy far right idea included apparently for President Trump getting a daca deal for congress, which of course, the democrats yeah. Tammy declined. Are those the kind of far right ideas have you got or historically low unemployment for every group in the country . Tammy, tammy, the president of the United States was offered daca for the wall. He accepted it until the far right politicians in the Senate Mitch Mcconnell especially. Mitch mcconnell far right. General kelly had to call Chuck Schumer and tell him the deal was off. Lets be clear this president will make a deal daca for the wall before. This. Tammy chris, this audience is going to laugh at the idea of Mitch Mcconnell being a politician. These this is a bureaucracy we know it well. Its all transactional. Thats what both democrats and republicans are reacting to. You had some interesting people elected during the midterms because they are tired of the transactional relationship. We did. Tammy i think alexandria ocasiocortez would suggest that she is unusual and interesting thanks for joining us. I think there are people with great voices i cant wait to see them grow. Tammy it can be interesting. You can see what happens to the womens march when it comes to that chris, thank you for being here. How is this for irony yesterday fired fbi director james comey tweeted quote happy thanksgiving, got a subpoena from house production. Im still happy to sit in the light and answer all questions, but i will resist a closed door thing because ive seen enough of their selective leaking and distortion. Its likes he is talking in the mirror, right . Lets have a hearing and invite everyone to see. Twitter users quickly reminded comey that he, too, engaged in plenty of selective leaking and private is, of course,s. Dan bongino is a former secret service agent, an nratv contributor. You know him well. Is he also the author of spy gate. The attempted sabotage of donald j. Trump. He joining us now. Dan, welcome to the program. Good to be with you tammy. Thanks. Tammy obviously lots going on. James colony beclowned himself a projection on his part. Whats your take on what he is trying to accomplish here . The republicans have done something at the last minute, i would have liked to have seen this six months or a year ago. Why not resist . Its not like you are actually going to end up in front of any committee at this stage. Let me you there for the perfect use of the word beclown. Thats exactly what jim comey did here. Lets point out irony of jim comeys tweet asking for open hearing up on the hill. He wants transparency now. You do realize he hid the investigation, crossfire hurricane. The investigation into the trump team. He hid it from congressional oversight for eight months. This is a fact. Its not in dispute. In march of 2017 when questioned by congressional oversight, alesion stephonic from new york. When ask he gave the most absurd answer he made a fool of himself. Because the investigation was sensitive. Tammy, the very reason they brief Congress Quarterly not every eight months but quarterly on these types of investigations is because they are sensitive. Comey really needs to bough dial down the twitter. Tammy he has gotten away with all of this. This is what is so frustrating. Theyre subpoenaing him and get in and comey says no, im not going to go. He knows he will fight it legally and the new session starts on january 3rd. Were getting into the christmas holiday. He knows that he is going to get away with this. In a way, its like a dog and pony show. Are you concerned now that the democrats will control the house, the senate still has the republicans still have the senate. Are you concerned that, in fact, donald trump remains the only man of action, the only individual genuinely interested in clearing this muck up because at this point its been more of the same for the last two years from the republicans. I am concerned. But, ig horowitz. Michael horowitz, the Inspector General gave us an opening in the report on the hillary email scandal and the horrible handling of it by the doj and the fbi that has largely escaped liberal media purposefully by the way. At the end of the report he clearly states that you could not eliminate political bias as a reason for the fbi transitioning so quickly from the hillary email investigation into the trump crossfire hurricane investigation. What am i saying here . Once this spy gate crossfire hurricane ig report comes out on that, which isnt done yet. I think jim comey is in a world of trouble. He central to answer why they cut out of that july 5th speech he gave. The fact that hillary emailed barack obama on that private email. Tammy look. While the house investigations will end because it will be the democrats, there is still the senate. We still have inspectors general. And the fbi documents and classified departments to that the president can declassify. Dan, thank you so much. I appreciate it . Thanks, tammy. Tammy we have a lot of tucker just ahead as our inside out issues special kins. Middle america turned out big for donald trump in 2016. But many of them stayed home or changed their votes in 2018.

Tammy you are watching a live special edition of Tucker Carlson tonight where we go inside the issues. We go to tucker as he tackles americas struggling middle class and why some 2016 trump voters turned on the g. O. P. In the midterms. Donald trump became president two years ago thanks largely to a huge surge of support from the american middle class. They supported him because they are dying as a group the american middle class is shrinking in absolute terms and in many cases dying younger. They reached out to the president to help. But, in 2018, in the midterms we just had last week, a lot of those voters seemed to have drifted back away from the republicans. The house went democratic. Republicans lost a bunch of senate races in states that President Trump won two years ago. How did that happen . What should republicans be doing to change it and what should be their positions moving forward . No one has watched more carefully than j. D. Vance. He wrote the book hillbilly elegy. Thanks for coming on. I know its been a week and it takes a while to sort these things out. Eight days later one of the obvious lessons for republicans from the Midterm Election . So there are two things i point to. If you look at the 100 wealthiest house districts, 55 of those were democratic after the 2016 election. 73 of them were democratic after the 2018 election. So one of the take aways is that republicans are continuing to become the middle and working class party and democrats are more and more popular among wealthy suburban nights. The second take away that is that the second most unpopular piece of legislation the past couple years wasnt Donald Trumps brainchild and if you trust the media reports donald trump wasnt a huge fan of it and that was the healthcare bill that came out of the House Republican leadership poll and poll perch and person i talked to im good friends with mike dewine who weekend out a win in the ohio governors race, the consistent theme is that that republican healthcare bill actually put a little bit of a mill stone around republicans running in the industrial mid west. It was not a popular piece of legislation and in some ways i think its almost better that it didnt pass and that it didnt go into effect causing even more damage down the road. Tucker sounds like what you are saying is that republicans as a party need to understand who their constituency is. Its different from what it was a generation ago. It really is the middle class party. Maybe they should have middle class Economic Solutions to offer . Yeah. Thats absolutely right, tucker. I think that a lot of folks, especially the wall street journal wing of the Republican Party dont like to admit and dont like to appreciate the fact that the party has definitely shifted in this direction. You have got more and more working class voters voting for republicans like i said more and wealthy suburba suburbanites voting for democrats. Whats causing that is those voters are incredibly progressing. What you hear consistently from republican elites is that we need to moderate on the social issues and chart a really libertarian course on the economic issues. If you actually listen to republican voters, what they are saying is Something Like the opposite. They are socially conservative. They like the views on immigration. They like the president s views on abortion. What they want us to do is stop hemorrhaging jobs to folks overseas. They want us to win trade wars against mexico and especially the chinese. And that agenda is ultimately, i think, where republican success in the future lies but, like you said, republican elites have to accept that fact and i think, you know, we should be proud of the coalition that we have and try to build on it as opposed to being ashamed of that fact. Tucker how do you have a party run by people with the mirror image views of their own voters so the people who run the party are socially liberal and economically libertarian in the voters are economic nationalists and social conservatives. How can they be in the same party . The longterm answer may be they may not be in the same party. At the end of the day, the voters have the power. We saw that in the 2016 election. Tucker, im sure you remember after a few of the republican primary debates there were a lot of professional conservatives, a lot of Establishment Republicans who would go on tv and say this or that thing that donald trump said would eliminate his chances. He blew himself out of the water he will never be the republican no, maam to me. After eacmaam nominee. Each time he got more popular among the republican base. To say me the question is not how do these two groups coexist. The question is do the voters ultimately have the power in the Republican Party . I think the answer is obviously yes. It may take a little while for that to unfold. Tucker is it a democracy or not . You are right. That is the deepest question. J. D. Advance, so smart. Thank you. Thanks, tucker.

We now go back to tucker as he investigates the frightening power of big tech. Tucker the man behind the buick and the film clinton cash exposed the Clintons Foundation pay for play relationships with foreign governments has a new film out this time the target is big tech. Heres a preview of it. They can suppress certain types of results based on what they think you should be seeing by what your followers are presenting. What google and facebook are doing on a regular basis by suppressing story, like steering us toward other stories rather than the stories were actually seeking. It will always favor one online Music Service over another and one candidate over another. Google crosses the creepy line every day. Tucker Peter Schweizer is one of the people behind this new documentary called the creepy line and it premiered this week. He joins us on set. Thank you very much for coming on. So why should we care what google, a private company, is doing . Because they have an amazing amount of influence on the consumption of information and news in this country. 80 to 90 of searches are done through google. Google not only collects information on us, which threatens our privacy but they use that information to minutmanipulate us to steer us n directions we dont want to go. Affecting the voting taking place in this country. Some people are arguing its determining the outcome of elections. Tucker well, so how could you have a meaningful democracy where the people rule in the face of Corporate Power this concentrated . Look the mantra has always been you have got to have an informant electorate. The electorate needs to know whats going on. Tucker exactly. The problem is if you have voters who are not high information voters but they want to vote and they are going to go to google to guide them in the week before an election, and those results are skewed and there is overwhelming academic evidence that they manipulate search results, youre going to have an electorate that is strongly influenced by the result. That undermines democracy. The fundamental problem is that people dont recognize that. They dont understand they are being manipulated and unless something is done about it, the future of the republic is under threat. Tucker cant have a democracy in those circumstances. You said overwhelming evidence that google minutes its search results. They deny that. Yes, they do. Here is the interesting thing, tucker. They denied this before. You remember 10 years ago yelp and trip advisors were accusing google to manipulating the algorithm in suppress them and push google related companies. Google said absolutely not. These results are organic. We know the federal trade commission the European Union and academics at harvard said thats wrong, you were manipulating the algorithm. Their defense now is the same when it comes to political speech. The problem is that there has been numerous Peer Reviewed studies done by robert f. Stein and others that clearly demonstrates they are suppressing news stories. In fact, in the 2016 election, they found in all 10 search results from one through ten, google was suppressing negative stories about Hillary Clinton and pushing positive stories about and pushing negative stories about donald trump. This, by a researcher by the way, who was a Hillary Clinton supporter, not a trump supporter. Tucker this seems like the story of the century. Yes, huge story. Huge story. Overlooked because its confusing. Its difficult to understand. And its happening behind the curtain. Its the wiz th wizard of oz bed the iron curtain. We are used to thinking about dan rather media bias. Makes a snarky comment about george bush. Thats visible for everyone to see. This kind of bias is hidden. We dont know what we dont know. And thats what makes it so frightening. Tucker its remarkable story and documentary. Peter schweizer, thank you. I appreciate it . Thanks, tucker. Tammy more great stuff from tucker. Tucker sat down with a u. S. Senator to investigate the deadly threat of synthetic drugs from china. Tucker more than 70,000 americans died of drug ods more than half of those from synthetic like fentanyl. President trump signed legislation that should make it harder to ship drugs like fentanyl through the mail . Will that be enough in the number one manufacturer of fentanyl is china. They seem uninterested in affecting the philosophy drugs in our country. It if china killed 30,000 americans by bombing campaigns or invading we might respond differently. Senator rob portman one of the few on this topic for a while. He has just introduced legislation. The president just signed it and he joins us tonight. Senator, thanks very much for joining us. Thanks for having me on. Tucker it is a fair question. 3,000 americans died. 30,000 died just last year because of this. It seems to be all but unnoticed here in washington. I agree. Its the unreported story out there. Its not that people dont care about it. They do. When im home i hear about it all the time and i attend town Hall Meetings every month. I ask a question how many of have you been directly affected. Its more than half of the callers, 10, 20,000 callers. Its a huge issue. Sadly ohio swurcht states hardest hit. Number one killer fentanyl. Two thirds of Overdose Deaths last year from from fentanyl. Synthetic form of opioids. We know where its coming from, china. We know where its coming in through and thats the United States postal service. The government agency. So, what we have done over the past three years, we have researched it, we have investigated it, we have put together legislation. It took us too long to get it done because there was some push back particularly from the post office. In fact there still is all we are asking them to do is to screen packages so that our Law Enforcement can at least stop some of this poison coming into our communities and raise the price of this incredibly powerful deadly drug on the streets of our cities of our communities and also reduce the cost. Tucker good for you. And bless you for raising it and making noise about it consistently. What county u. S. Do to change its posture toward china to put some pressure on the Chinese Government to clamp down within their country . Thats a good question. I met with the Chinese Ambassador here. I have met with the chinese leadership there. I have raised it consistently. What they have said is two things. One, that they have made some of the precursors, in other words, the chemicals that go into making fentanyl illegal. They have in effect, scheduled them under the way we would do it here. And that they have begun, they say, secondly to crack down on some of these Chemical Companies producing it. But what they have done has not been effective. It continues to come in. Our investigation indicated that if you send something by the postal service, from china, that its guaranteed delivery. If you send it through one of the other carriers, say fedex or u. P. S. Or dhl, a private care yes, its not guaranteed. Why . Because after 9 11 we required all the private carriers to provided a advanced electronic data to Law Enforcement to be able to identify suspect packages and to be able to stop this stuff coming. In we didnt do it for the post office who said you ought to study it and come back to us with a report. Tucker when we have talked about this, guest after guest on this show, the response i get almost every time well its americas fault because its our users who are consuming these drugs and dying after becoming addicted to them. Do you think its americas fault that 30,000 people are dying of synthetic opioid ods. Its both. We have a demand for drug thats insatiable seemingly. We also have this incredibly inexpensive poison coming on to our streets and to our communities. Mostly from china. Mostly through the postal service. So by reducing that supply, we can impact this. I believe, tucker, that over the last few years we have done a the lot. Some with congressional legislation, some with the local level to push back on the Opioid Crisis and would be seeing progress already but for fentanyl. In other words, it has year whelmed the system. 4,000 increase in fentanyl overdeath deaths in the last five years. Fentanyl was not a big deal when i first gotted started on this but now it is. It has kept us from making the progress we otherwise would have made with prevention, education with more treatment, better recovery programs, more First Responders having narcan to save lives that miracle drug that reverses the effects of the overdose. I think we will begin to see some progress if we can stem this flow of fentanyl. Tucker very quick as a matter of public consciousness, how different would this be if this drug were coming from russia rather than china . I think coming from anywhere it should be something we care a lot about. Tucker i agree with you completely. I think we should be tougher and should actually be saying to the chinese in this case, you know, youve got to crack down in your own country, both for our purposes and if you dont as i have told premierly the second ranking liter in china its going to be in your communities, too. This stuff is so deadly and so addictive that its something that you should care about as well. Tucker senator, thank you very much. Thanks, tucker. Thanks for following this and thanks, you know, for raising the awareness on their. Tucker 70,000 people die, its worth paying attention to. I think. Thank you.

Welcome back to our special inside the issues edition of Tucker Carlson tonight. Now tense of millions of americans watched nfl games yesterday as a part of the holiday festivities. That long tradition could be in danger thanks to concussions, horrible. In 2015, the nfl reached a settlement with former players who said concussions left them with longterm disabilities. Tucker recently sat down with a lawyer for the players who says the nfl is fighting tooth and nail ford to avoid paying out the settlements it agreed. To say heres what happened. Tucker thank you very much for joining us. I appreciate it. So i know from watching the National Anthem controversy that the nfl as an organization has a deep social conscience and yet im finding it hard to square with your allegation that theyre refusing to pay players who are injured during service in the nfl. Am i mischaracterizing that . Only in the sense that no, i think you are characterizing it correctly. I dont think the nfl is in favor of the kneeling. You think they are . Tucker no, im just mocking because we have seen. Oh, i gotcha. Tucker they care a lot about people yet if what you are saying is right, it sounds like they are trying to stiff people with grave physical injuries. Is that right . Yes. They want to look good but not be good. Absolutely. Tucker so, i mean, tell us give us the overview of what you think is happening here. So, in this concussion settlement case, i could talk to you about my players. I have 90 clients. And 95 of my players are africanamerican. 5 are white. None of them have been paid. Ive submitted 41 claims. And 38 of them are in audit for fraud. Over 99 of the players that are in audit for fraud are africanamerican. And i just believe that if this were a group of retired white golfers, they have been played already. Tucker those are claims that are pretty hard to verify unless you have something in writing and i assume you dont. Lets get to the physical facts of it. Are these players demonstrably injured . Yes. Tucker did the nfl know what they were doing posed a physical risk to them for cte . The allegation, the complaint was that they and riddell helmet maker knew the damages they were causing to brains since the 1960s. Tucker huh. They settled this case because they didnt want to be subjected to any discovery which would prove that out. Tucker interesting. Why do you think that since the National Anthem story has received so much coverage and so many at espn, for example, are taken the side of the players, that so few sports commentators have raised this issue with the kind of we hem next they brought to the National Anthem controversy. Im a little confused. The nfl is very powerful and intimidating to sports broadcasters. They would pull their credentials if they didnt do exactly what the nfl wanted. Its our contention the nfl likes this controversy. Shifts from the nfl to the players and shifts the focus from the trouble with football which is the causing of these brain injuries and the ruining of men to rich players kneeling in protest. It gets the public to be mad at the players and not mad at the nfl. Tucker is there science on this question . What percentage of nfl players who played for a year or more, really engaged with the league, what percentage sustained permanent brain injury . Well, a single concussion is a traumatic brain injury which would be permanent, so i would say between 99 and 100 percent of them. Ann mckee up at Boston University who did the cte neuropathological study also says that the statistics is in the high 90 percentile. Tucker what percentage of those see their lives affected negatively by those injuries . Well, i have players that range in age from 31 all the way up until 70. They are all affected by it they all come in and have the same symptoms, the same complaints and the same problems its just where theyre on the spectrum. How bad it has gotten. Tucker is there any way to stop the progression of this impairment . Well, there are some studies going on. Jupiter Medical Center down here in Palm Beach County has hyperbaker Chamber Program with joe nemeth that seems to be promising that it might work. Tucker its a sad story. Thank you very much for sharing your story. I appreciate it. Thank you. Tammy important stuff whats really going on there when we are all distracted by something else, right .

Com tammy welcome back, everyone, to our inside the issues special edition of Tucker Carlson sent. The shooting in par parkland, florida has produced antigun action across the country. Online retailers are getting involved as well and imposing their own form of gun control where the law doesnt even require it foxs Hillary Vaughn went to investigate this new trend. Heres what she found. [cheers] this is washington, d. C. , the day thousands of antigun protesters flood the capital streets chanting] students joining the march for our lives movement demanding new gun control law us after the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas high school in parkland, florida. This is far too much. The fact that we have had all of these Mass Shootings and that we havent done anything about it. I just would like to see this government do something. I do think change is coming. When congress failed to act, activists found a work around. [closing bell] wall street. In all honesty it probably is a work around because congress isnt getting much done. Idea that wall street could enforce gun control took off. Business is in this odd place where it has leverage. Clearly the banks have leverage. The retail organizations have leverage. They parkland. People expect them to use that leverage. Within days, companies acted. Citi group proclaiming all retail clients would be prohibited from selling firearms to buyers under age 21 and pledging to cut off business with customers who sell bump stocks or high capacity magazines. Bank of america was next announcing they would no longer offer loans to manufacturers that make assault rifles. The movement sparking controversy from some in Congress Like senator john kennedy of louisiana who argued big banks going rogue and creating their own gun control policy actually violates federal law. So he introduced a bill blocking banks that blacklist lawful industries from receiving government contracts. If they got in trouble tomorrow, i guarantee you they would both come to the United States congress, whining for a bailout asking for taxpayer money and they wouldnt say oh we only want taxpayer money from people who agree with our gun control. They would take everybodys taxpayer money. Gun control advocates also won major victories at some of the nations largest retailers. Dicks Sporting Goods announcing cutting ar15s from inventory at field and Stream Stores and stopped selling firearms to people under the age of 21 at all 845 of its stores. Some businesses started targeting the nra. National car rental, enterprise car rental, even yeti coolers knicksing discounts for nra members. [gunfire] the nra says this Blacklisting Campaign against them has threatened their daytoday operation. [gunfire] filing a lawsuit in u. S. District court in new york after they lost Insurance Coverage saying the push to ban the gun group has cost them millions of dollars in damages. But joining the trend has also cost some companies millions. In Georgia Delta Airlines lost a 38milliondollar tax cut after delta ditched their nra discounts. In louisiana, the Bonds Commission voted to block citigroup and bank of america from financing a 600milliondollar highway construction project after they placed restrictions on gun purchases. They should be making sound Business Decisions that their shareholders not trying to be on the right side of whats popular politically. Tammy Hillary Vaughn joins us now. Great job. This is, with everything going on in the world and elections and everything, this kind of stuff continues more under the radar. When it comes to the banks, they have historically used sometimes their power to affect really to implement discriminatory policies when it comes to lending. The government has stepped in to stop that kind of dynamic and yet now there are even republicans suggesting that its the frequent that is causing this. With your investigation, do you agree that this is a normal free market event thats owe curling . What i can tell is you that congress is weigh ago crack down on Companies Going beyond what they see to be somewhat Constitutional Rights or beyond the scope of federal law. When you see these Companies Making their own policy that runs counter to federal law, thats probably going to get them in a little bit of trouble. We are seeing Congress Take up that issue. But, whats interesting is that you have to look at what is driving. This there was a study done by Global Strategy Group that says 81 of americans expect corporations to take action on political issues within 24 hours. Thats not a lot of time. You also have to look at what millennials and the factor they play in this and social media. There were tons of social media campaigns with s urging companies to take a stand on issues. Blacklisting companies if they dont. 46 of preliminaries actively research what political stance companies have before they decide to give them their business but there are critics and say where are we headed . Is this a sustainable thing to do . Thats something that, of course, congress is going to have to look at as well. Tammy private business is one thing. Then you are dealing with banks as you noted in your piece that gets taxpayer dollars that are propped up, especially after the mini crash in 2007 and 2008. As they are going against a civil right, right . Against a constitutionally protected right is an entirely different dynamic. If you dont like the second amendment, engage politically, right . This is something very different and, yes, extremely worrisome. Great job and thanks for reminding everyone of all the other things going on out there that we need to keep an eye on. Thanks, tammy.
