let s start with you. your thoughts on this whole thing? thanks for having me, martha. i think it s a question of freedoms of speech and the right to protest. what the students were doing is that mr. murray s views aren t accepted at the campus. what these students are actually talking about is a 1994 book he wrote called the bell curve which indicated that there are of certain races genetically superior to others and that s why you have poverty in communities of color, which these students deny vehemently because it speaks to supremacy. should he have been able to speak? i would like to hear what he says, i disagree with everything, but these students have the right to protest. in that right to protest is what makes our democracy so strong. martha: let s the students responsible for that pathetic display of intolerance are sniveling, ignorant children.
these behaviors that were incompatible with democracy and capitalism to be fascinating but completely false or fake news. given that i know the black community well. tucker: i read the book too. i don t remember him making that case that black people were somehow unable to live in a democracy. did you read the bell curve? i read parts of it, yes. i didn t read the entire but i read the critiques of it. the poverty law center has a dossier on him. whether or not he has claims, the generosity of black people and poor whites. it is just a fact. if you want to talk about freedom of speech and his rights to speak freely, i think that makes sense but what he has

the impact that he thinks that had. don t you think, richard, that would ve been a pretty valuable conversation. in fact, the young man who was with the american enterprise club for middlebury and very eloquently at the beginning of this said, look, we have meetings every week, get together with people who disagree on politics and we hear each other out. what a wasted opportunity of these gave themselves that nigh night. well, here s the thing. like i said. i don t think the students are reacting to that book, and it s a stretch to call it neofascist. i haven t seen any evidence of this device are being harmed. if she was harmed, that s awful. she is sent to the hospital. wait a minute. the truth of the matter is they have a right to protest, and that process should be protected just like mr. murray s speech should be protected. but wait a minute! let me finish. what i think you have in the situation is this guy released a book that i would argue is vile, the bell curve, which
