every fine mind the person knows that. he didn t deserve to die. we need to protect everybody, that s what everybody should be working for. the hustlers come in and starting to demonize america lying about it, saying white people want to to hurt black people. that is false. and that s why the discussion about the intensity of black crime arose. surely you understand that. perhaps that s why it arose for you, bill. i really do feel that there was a when people wanted to talk about the trayvon martin case and the fact that race was a factor, there were people and i put myself in that category that do think race was a factor, that the response is always oh, let s not talk about that, let s talk about ba b. black-on-black crime. black people don t want to talk about black on black crime. bill: you can t talk about race being a factor unless you are a mind reader. that s not true. bill: yes, it is. here is the backup. the fbi went down and
introduced in the house. that s what you are saying, right? that s right, correct. bill: now, there was a hearing today, the house armed services committee, general george bristol, who was in charge, i guess, of the african forces that could have helped the four americans including the ambassador to libya killed in benghazi, he testified, but i m reading over the notes here rosen i only got 30 seconds. bristol would not say who told him not to help him. is that true? first of all it, wasn t heampleght it s a briefing. being kind to the guy. wasn t put under oath. so he didn t really have to testify. he led this task force in northern and western africa. he acknowledged that he was the guy, the marine colonel who had the conversation with an army lt. colonel who is on the ground in tripoli and who was ready to get a whole bunch of guys on an airplane and fly from tripoli to benghazi to try to rescue our guys which is the distance from richmond, virginia to chicago, illinois. it s
investigated this from a racial point of view, with an eye on filing federal charges, civil rights charges. they found nothing. so that means that kirsten powers and bill o reilly cannot apply a motive to george zimmerman because we don t know and the fbi already investigated it. that s different than what i said though. i didn t say i could get into his head and know he went after him. bill: that s a racial motive. you would have to get in his head. i said race is a factor and race was a factor. we know race was a factor because every single person who has defended zimmerman said he was so upsete there hal these young black men burglarizing in the neighborhood. when he saw trayvon martin, that sort of set him off. bill: i don t know zimmerman. that s race. bill: i never heard zimmerman say that i don t know that all i know is the fbi was sent down by an attorney general who desperately wants to file federal charges against
in they are trying to survive under those circumstances. bill: mr. shelton. if we want to solve we have got to dig deeper into the problem itself to craft some solutions bill bull you are wrong and i hope you are hearing me on. this if you segment portions of it you won t understand the whole problem. if you don t understand the whole problem you can t have a universal and comprehensive solution. bill: you will never and president obama is never going to improve this situation until you acknowledge that 50 years ago when african-americans were in a far more dire circumstance in this country than they are now, the out-of-wedlock birth rate was 25%. in the 1930s it was 13%. okay? now it s 75%. that is a catastrophe and income inequality, violence it all stems from that and you have got to start there. i will give you the last word. i would disagree. we have had many single family headed households. the issue is the condition in which they are having to raise their children. they
gibson stay in tripoli. some will call that standdown order, bill. bill: is bristol taking the rap that he did it, that he wouldn t order anybody? he did it. saying in essence i told him stay in tripoli embassy there. bill: did he say that anybody ordered him to say that? no. he didn t. he said it was his decision. bill: okay. gentlemen, thank you. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. miller on the courts overturning the big soda ban in new york city and division within the republican party. then fast food workers not happy about the wages. and they are not loving it. they are out on the street protesting. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. dy knows that. well, did you know some owls aren t that wise? don t forget i m having brunch with meghan tomorrow. who?
