remember 2008, tucker, when joe biden said and what he said about barack obama? he was the first black candidate who was clean. clean.ca was articulate. harry reid echoed that and said he didn t have a dialect and he was light-skinned and then bill clinton said he would have been serving us coffee and even al sharpton tried to contextualize that. because the idea, again, was these are good progressives, they re good people. they couldn t be guilty of racism.d it s not a window in their soul. it is with republicans but with the democrats, progressives and leftists it s inadvertent or allowed. it s dangerous to do that. tucker: tools to win power. we should remember that. professor, thank you verywe much. thank you, tucker. tucker: if they meant it, then the southern poverty law center wouldn t be on a lot of this. you heard of the splc, phony anti-hate group that exists tony crush people they don t like. to tar conservative organizations as fellow travel
we deal with this every day to find a solution. and actually i think it s very refreshing to see a politician is willing to say i don t know. if you look where the t immigration reform has gone in 20 years, nowhere, a lot of politicians don t know. they have no idea what a solution is. we haven t found one. we need a debate and talk it over. tucker: i m totally foror that. i actually do agree with you. sounds like you support him there.ne tucker: i support being honest about not knowing. be honest. tucker: try harder. let me asking something i don t know the answer to. i m not being mean. i m sincere. in the last election you had irish catholic guy with hispanic nickname running against actual hispanic guy with an angloh name. does that seem weird, audacious? ted cruz tried to make the point as well and texans got every it quickly. tucker: it s a real point. it s not a real point. the point is moot. it s something to joke aboutea for a minute. tucker: okay. the nick
political behavior. what kind of effect could this sort of distortion have on an election? it would have a devastating effect. as you know, i am not a conservative. tucker: i do. i love america, i love democracy and i think we should all be rising above our politics here and recognize the extreme danger that we are facing when a company like google can basically censor anything wants to censor. this new set of leaks is extraordinary because it confirms things that i and others have been saying in writing for years. it confirms number one thatrs individual employees at google have the power to manually removeve material, remove contet that we see and they do so often
grossly misrepresented our findings. the national academy of medicine?ca tucker: are not expert in this. you are not an expert but you are supposed to do your job, supposed to learnd about did you read my article where i debunked all of this? tucker: let me ask a question. this is my real concern is schizophrenia, because it s a terrible disease and we can t cure it. a lot of people die from it and it s horrible, as you know. is it untrue, do you think, that marijuana use looks like it could increase the rate of schizophrenia? is that a fake statistic? that is a sincere question for you. we need to know more and we s should know more. but having you and authors come on and just confuse causation and correlation does no one a good service. tucker: i m asking you a sincere question. this is my sincere answer. we have had society where the rates of cannabis use gone up and rates of schizophrenia
a heart attack that is fatal. drinking too much water can be fatal. you need to understand the difference between correlation and causation. tucker: i do understand. apparently you don t. [laughs] tucker: no, i do. what i understand most of all is the basic precip of science we don t know something until we prove it. almost nothing about marijuana is proven. why are you acting like we know when we don t? this is what is proven to be harmful, tucker. arresting 600,000 americans every year for making the choice to use a substance that objectively is safer than alcohol. and doing it in a way that targets the poor and minorities disproportionately is devastating to those communities. tucker: but i m not arguing you are missing. i m not arguing in favor of that. you are making a parallel argument you don t want to arrest anybody for cannabis? m
