about this family and the disturbing story what do you know? we know this whole situation unraveled because one of the daughters, a 17-year-old, she had the courage to escape. she climbed out of a window. this is the home behind me. she climbed out of a window early sunday morning. she called 911 just before 6:00 a.m. she said she was being held against her will, said the same about her brothers and sisters. when deputies caught up with her, she showed them pictures on her cell phone, and that made them believe what she was telling them. then of course deputies came to the house, they did a welfare check, they discovered the horrific conditions. they saw at least three of the children were chained to furniture, it was foul-smelling, just terrible inside. of course all of the children were taken to various hospitals. their psychological well-being and physical well-being being looked after. of course the parents in jail being held on various charges.
lying as well as the other senators there who first of all said they didn t remember, and then said absolutely they didn t hear that. so i think it s pathetic that people with such authority would lie, but if you think about it, one of the fundamental problems of our country has been we have never been able to come to grips with racism. so if those comments weren t racist, then i really don t know how those individuals would define what racism is. and then under the far out chance that they don t remember, then it just shows how a racist comment doesn t even register with them which might mean that they hear that kind of language all the time. so i just think that it is another example of what we have seen from this white house since day one. you said outright lying. this may be another indication that there are people in washington in the administration now that have trouble with the truth. i want to talk about the unemployment rate for african-americans. it fell to 6.8% in december

still double that of the white unemployment rate. so it s not like we ve solved a problem here. and i think when you have a p h pathological liar, either that or he s delusional. either one is bad for the president of the united states. when you have someone who lies multiple times a day, it should not be a surprise that members of his cabinet would follow that behavior, and sad to say, it s not a surprise that senators in the cabinet or the house would think it s okay to outright lie. these are the facts, and people have been dismissing them lately. unemployment for blacks is still far higher, as you said, than other groups. white unemployment is at 3.7%, asian unemployment 2.5%, hispanic joblessness, 4.9%. you can see african-american 6.8% there. it still trails whites. and median weekly earnings for african-americans last fall were
it s 10 degrees below zero. people see that he never had any intention on keeping any promises that he made. so when we re talking to people just looking you hear those voters, they re saying we all have promises i think one of them said, we all have promises, we don t keep all of our promises, he speaks like real americans, he doesn t say the perfect thing. so they re saying it doesn t really matter. his promises don t really matter. well, i mean, if you just look around the country, look what happened to virginia, the wave that hit there. look at alabama, one of the reddest states in the country. just tonight we had a special election in wisconsin. one of the reddest counties in the united states went blue. it was like a 25% swing over. and scott walker, there were two open seats coming up in wisconsin. he decided to hold off and not have those elections, and i wonder if the wave that s going to come has anything to do with it. i m sure it does.
