is right now. this is a historic breakthrough. people have been talking about criminal justice reform for a decade and no one has been able to figure out how to get it done. this breakthrough is not just good for people behind bars. i ll leave that to jessica. politically it is now safe for people in both parties to talk common sense about what we re doing with our prison system. everybody knows we re wasting money, putting people in for too long, folks are coming home bitter and not better. it goes on and on and on. people are afraid to do anything because they don t want an ad saying they re soft on crime. when you have the new york times and fox news, when you have shawn hannity and dr. king s family saying it s a good bill, you can decloak, come out of the closet with better ideas
watch this, college professor in professional shakedown artist michael dyson shows how it s done. msnbc last night. we got a bigoted chief and eight races in residence. he has unleashed some of the most horrendous viewpoints, bigotry, and racism in this country, he legitimated them, validating them. he said it s okay. come out of the closet, stand up and speak straightforwardly, and telll the world what you believ. tucker: [laughs] we lower our standards. it s unbelievable. i know we all hate trump but. it s stupid. not as stupid as mark steyn, who joins us tonight. what do you make of this? i don t want to overstate come i don t want to be hysterical, but i feel like we are watching actually something profound. they are melting down it looks like to me. yeah, i think that is what is going on. we live in a course and culture. everyone has said that, i think one of the reasons why samantha bee, for example, used the c

vargas on cnn a few weeks ago. america is not a country that turns its back on children. that s not who we are as a country. i don t want to bring race into this. but if these were white kids, would we be doing this to the kids? this guy has an ulterior motive for doing this. he s on television. he will most likely write a book about this and include this in it. he is selfish to go to that border and pull off a stunt like that when the border patrol people have enough to worry about. he s also thumbing his nose at american law. this guy broke the law! he was brought here at the age of 12 from the philippines. he has sort of come out of the closet. he did that in the new york times magazine in 2011. he s certainly very good at getting attention. do you think the mainstream media treat him as a hero? of course and he s millinging it for a book contract and a movie deal, god knows what else.
