really quickly, chris, i have very little time. i want to ask you this question. you heard me say in the setup to this conversation we are pushing back to the large arc of history one about tribalism and brutality. where do we go from here? where does this end, chris? a lot of ways we follow asian americans. asian americans have demonstrated excellent academic achievements. tight family structure. they are leading the way in building and reinforcing the meritocracy. we should celebrate this and celebrate everyone who comes in this country and adopts the principles of america. they are still the greatest hope on this earth. it s freedom equality, rights, democracy and that s the main story. will: i hope you are right. i hope that is the end of this story. i hope it s not one running off to our tribes and resulting in violence. i enjoy both of your perspectives, thank you very much for joining me. joining me now editor and host of sports watch newsletter. steve, always good to see yo
have done nothing restore urban in the core of these cities. this bill and the whole biden narrative is simply to deflect attention away from the somebody a sad and tragic but very simple fact. will: james, how do you explain joe biden bringing two victims onto the stable today but not a single victim of anti-asian hate crime onto the stage today. the victims of anti-asian hate crimes would be a inconvenient narrative as you were pointing out, will. the truth is like, you know, chris just mentioned talking about these cities, particularly we could focus on san francisco with the district attorney. letting people off when they commit violent crimes. these cities are being led by people who a louing for these crimes to continue to allowing these crimes to multiply and be extremely inconvenient to the narrative he is trying to push to bring up the victims actually beaten and traumatized by people who don t match the narrative that he wants. will: that s exactly right.
