You're the same person who argued on your show that just because Donald Trump has supporters from the KKK doesn't mean he's in the KKK. So it goes against that argument. It goes against that. You can't say he did it because of.
Yes, but Black Lives Matter has never said go out and shoot people. I'm saying you're saying this to your audience. And I honestly do not understand where you're getting that from. Just because a person, what if somebody says I felt emboldened by Tommy Lahren and so I went out and I shot black people. Are you now responsible?

Okay, so then let's use that same logic that you're using then and then go police. Are the police racist?
Okay, so then let's use that same logic that you're using then and then go police. Are the police racist?
Because police, in many cities, you look at Baltimore, you look at what happened in New York, you look at what happened in the case of Walter Scott, you tell me are police racist because they've been shown to harass black people unfairly, they've been shown to shoot black people when they're unarmed. Does that mean the police are racist then? Because that's the same logic you're using.

Here's the thing. So let me ask you this then. If you say, as you said when you walked out, I'm not as mean as people think I am. I'm not the person that people think I am. What do you wish people would understand about you that are in another bubble? What do you wish people would understand about you on the other side?

You don't see color, so what do you do at a traffic light? I don't believe in that at all when people say that. There's nothing wrong with seeing color. It's how you treat color that's more important.

Here's my thing. All these points that you make are great, and I do believe that you believe them, and I don't believe anyone is actively trying. There are a few people who are trying to be bad from their point of view. But when I look at what you're saying, you say you're not pushing a racist narrative. You're criticizing.

Do you really believe you're criticizing and you're not malintentioned when you say things like Black Lives Matter is the new KKK? Because you realize Black Lives Matter can't be the new KKK. The KKK is still around. They have not vacated their premises. And most importantly, to say Black Lives Matter is the new KKK is to really, really minimize what the KKK did and what they stand for.

That is not the same thing. Surely you understand the incendiary feeling of your comments. You know that, surely.

That is not, look, we'll go around in circles. Did you say what did the KKK do?
That is not, look, we'll go around in circles. Did you say what did the KKK do?
Is that the narrative of Black Lives Matter or are there people who are saying that within a crowd of other human beings? There is a distinction between a movement and the people. That is something that we keep coming back to. But let's go back to what you were saying on Colin Kaepernick and the national anthem. This is something I don't understand.
