i m alisyn camerota. welcome to cnn tonight. we just heard the kind of conversations that a lot of us are having at our own dinner tables. bill maher talk to jake tapper about politics and race and cancel culture and wokeness. how do you define wokeness? because i hear people use the term all the time. and it means something different to everybody. well, again, i think it s this collection of ideas that are not building on liberalism, but very often undoing it. i mean, five years ago, abraham lincoln was not a controversial figure among liberals. we liked him. [laughter] now they take his name of schools and turned down his statues. really, lincoln is not good enough for you? are we all having conversations also where we accidentally step in it? and what conversations do we now feel uncomfortable having because we re afraid to get it wrong? so, our panel is going to tackle all that in just a moment. also, the supreme court hearing challenges to president biden s student
This is something the president predicted was right was never a legal basis for this, correct . President trump won the legal argument today. And the Supreme Court came out on his side and lifted the stay that the Appeals Court put in place. But the legal argument was never the strongest argument against the ban. Its the policy argument. Really bad policy. Tucker will you concede that there was a legal argument against it, that the left as a group made and it was that a single judge in hawaii had more power over americas Foreign Policy and control of americas borders than the president did and the Supreme Court today said thats absurd.

It was a close call for the Appeals Court that upheld the stay. It was also a close call for the Supreme Court. Tucker the president has got a right to make judgments like this and enforce them with law. T
Thats why we have a president. You will concede that. I think thats a valid argument and thats the argument that was made. Thats one of the arguments that persuaded the Supreme Court today. Although, keep in mind, that the court only lifted the stay. It will hear the merits of the case in october. But, yes, you are right. But, as i said, the stronger argument against this travel ban is its really bad policy. It doesnt accomplish the goal which is notomake america safer. Tucker it doesnt. You would argue the counter case that the more immigrants that we have from say somali coming into the country the safer we are . What point are you making. What i would argue on Policy Grounds this ban is both too broad and not broad enough. Let me explain. Heres why its too broad. It denies muslims from six predominantly muslim countries. Tucker let me stop and correct you. It makes no reference to religion at all. It doesnt badge muslims. It bans people who live in six countries the Obama Administra
are the most identifiable people of fox news were on air spreading misinformation, spreading these election lies. and murdaugh allowed it. he not only allowed when people told him to stop and he was gonna get the company into trouble, as the head of the organization, not only fox news, but the larger fox company, he continue to allow. it s so, he allowed fox news to do it. it wasn t some rogue reporter or rogue anchor. it was the entire network, led by the various biggest stars. and only that, one of the biggest myths i was found about foxx was that there was some bright line between the new side and the prime opinion side. i work on both sides of that so-called line. and i found the journalism rules to be often nonexistent, basically. or at least a, even on the so-called new side, they fudged them under rogers direction, roger ailes s direction, then the chairman. so often that they were often not existent.
