Mark Levine joins TNT

Type of the financial backing or the financial trail if you will that there may have backed himself is -- failed attempts. Two deadly that SUV in Times Square broadcasting from a little. World headquarters building this tell all my room talk good on Boston's ultra zoom cams to take. Walker.

You know Monday a moment then a month. So I get to see you every day for five days I have that I fully fully in front -- let you explain that in terms that everybody can -- nobody can discuss. Absolutely by the way speaking of things that nobody can dispute one of the best features of atomic judge show is the fact that we.

We do yourself which -- office report. Every Friday with the Boston Celtics Steve Pagliuca. Today's edition of the celtics' front office report is being brought to you by SP allies savings bank like Richards is the place where getting the best life insurance is always. A slam dunk and won a slim dark cloths and -- is Steve Kerr.

now what's going on that wall. Well it sort of water.

I gave him what -- series -- hear -- day here you can't get the pulse of this team tell us what BA -- you sense of the though you know the whole thing was the whole series last night's game who stood out. What do you carry from that game.

But take this seriously it was a very very competitive spirit very strange series and that it'll be too many of these things where you win by thirty it was by thirty. So we never knew what to expect each night that they can now did you test it last night. I think Kevin Garnett was if you let he he was really sad about this that's its first five shots. Posting up and and very element and that all Pearson. And guests of the whole team did a great job of the product that really -- by related -- that we won the game.

And it was an exciting kind of way to wrap -- up wasn't.

is that for the elderly and -- you know you like blowout so this when you know that your -- almost all -- in. Especially when late game Europe by. Twelfth LeBron came down below three. -- After having led by their twelfth for you must post fourth quarter but our guys rallied and came back in and then its key baskets it stops and get victor.

Let's look ahead to you know this one's in the bank will revel in it we appreciated it's delectable for -- But off Orlando. -- Sunday in all -- you get -- down it before you come home. And they are as hot up there how does a team is any team in the NBA. Kind of dissect a series RS.

It's hard and the best -- in the and -- L. They want all of their playoff games and it. They are they did you what they've got a great foundation inside out like it if Dwight Howard is based on the -- And they get Jameer Nelson at the white part of -- to -- to shoot or. That being said we match up pretty -- under our guys are really playing a lot of chemistry -- police in this and your clinic -- defense we didn't chip which here.

What do you say -- what do you think is the one thing you've got to be able to do to have a chance against Orlando.

We got congested street church each reporting the report shooting team. And they drive and kick and we gotta get up -- why not give it street because they can torched evicted and well. Huge amount trees per game.

Does Tony Allen become is important than in the Orlando series -- seemed to be. In the in the series -- what the cavs meet every time I looked up Tony Allen was -- something special. Rasheed Wallace also. And are they going to be called the -- composition dynamic of Orlando little bit different than Cleveland.

Well they won't look beat all -- on the same way you know be. Tony Allen it was fantastic it's stopping -- weighed in and graduating to helping try to stop Ron. Or literate great players that they don't have there's of that magnitude to that it be great Tony Chris Paul. Because it would be a little security at the Tony. Vince Carter's red -- commend their take that Carter commit their pick points just sit there at best Purcell that clarity -- just run. -- it -- it -- the all time great dunks that a sought at a windmill dunks. Coming out of nowhere rare -- the Beijing.

Amazing stuff we'll Steve you know would kind of thing Tommy's doing music at all -- on -- hot -- eagerly -- thousand resembling is that I morneau said it with the waste basket. Good luck with the next seriously we will talk business and finance with you later this is this is too good a moment with savoring the victory. -- looking forward to well Celtics Rosa went over the next.

As -- that there -- Leno this group and -- wreck it you guys that do a good game in the come up here.

All that'd be great yeah it's our problem and Orlando the hot -- your various other on the private jet will fly will fly it will apply the team get by the way as I meant I meant to mention coaches attack took -- baby. He became a father at two days ago. So he sent the out all EI he'll be ready -- and trouble is that's one more taking your gonna have to come.

Bigger and go but does -- look here because it'll handle that put up it and they're they're. Fourthly we don't own every stadium in the NBA so we'll work because the whims of your lender.

Or I will get working on now we expect good sees no matter where you send us -- tell you 'cause managing partner of the Boston Celtics thanks for being here and a good guy and that it does that he had to have that completes the celtics' front office report which has been brought to you by SBA allies savings bank life Richards is. The no nonsense life insurance company. Sounds like Orlando also controls his cell connection. 'cause I was some bulls say it's not fear that is that I he and by some champagne and he's still in the lock our of our time first CNN to a good knock down drag out because we've got our favorite Lackey who the leftists here have to let me. Mark Levine radio dot com that's his website not to be confused remarkable event people get excited that we're in a good conservative on boats Mark Levine and that he makes -- different. While not after they hear you know they they as soon as they hear you they realize no this isn't gonna be the rational segment is slow -- means segment.

Anybody wacky but I don't want to mark look there.

No -- and wacky leftists like Mark Levine I was talking about you -- out -- place. By then you consider yourself which -- then what's the big difference.

Other different fizzle -- just want to work outside the system to change that the country. -- that's a bit different.

You guys you wanna ignore the constitution. I believe it might not know you own he can't be a liberal believe in the constitution get a kick out right here -- yeah wherever -- go.

Let's that would Elena Kagan and if we're gonna talk about the constitution what is your take on this -- of how the law school has a very even their best to your staunchest allies. Concede very very thin reckon upon which to make any judgment market.

I think he's got a great record specifically -- in the Clinton administration it's nice to have someone on the court finally did not -- Some of his work in the highest policy outfit doesn't executive branch and no -- the government -- does an executive branch worked. That I administrative law worry it's nice to have that someone who has lived life outside the bench. So I think it's terrific.

What do you -- generically outside the bench is good that's different from somebody. Who really doesn't have any demonstrative. Specialness. Knowledge experience to bring to the job.

Well she is obviously 88 law professor and she is well respected by Harvard Law School which it.

No okay that's too big points against her.

I think it's a positive. And and I really think it is important that she's gorgeous -- executive branch -- Bo Reagan chose. So get Connors you didn't Arizona State legislator and I think that was important to that experience working at state government and this.

She had also been a judge. Yeah. What are you say you could have one without the other big the part that concerns me I'm not saying it's not true that a might be good to have somebody who has different experience and because you know what we have here really is a group of leaders who have all have the same lead this experience and Alina Kagan is in there. These these same Ivy League schools there are all either Jews or Catholics. They all come from this East Coast of all of intellectual isn't it be nice to have variety it would be nice to have diversity. What worries me is -- we've been getting a marketing line. About how it's gonna be nice to have somebody wasn't a judge and didn't come off the same way which wasn't sincerely offered. As. A desire to have diversity was offered as a way. -- pave the path for the argument for Elena Kagan. Who has spent her career trying to hide from being on the record on any issue associated -- the Supreme Court and I think that's a disgusting way to get to the Supreme Court.

That's how wow. -- really -- up. I get data at the I would Jewish -- to graduate from Nolasco just put beer with that whole -- lead this Kamal intellectual that whatever he's dead.

Exactly did. -- caught up with what we're telling you is that the fact bailout does not the real world.

That says edit it getting Catholics that I admit it will do much -- I'll accept that won that one small point. No idea of the day though this different someone who by the way was appointed by Bill Clinton to be a judge but -- that -- the Republicans refuting all Clinton judges it was did you the end of.

She'll have the experience unemployment doesn't really give you -- traditionally the Supreme Court when -- never became real.

I don't understand why you have to have a judge you don't I think it's nice and I have just -- slow -- again California he was never judge what's the exit. Warren was governor of California way to long now which argument you wanna make for or against it. He -- he was never judge exactly the Warren court -- say a terrific court to -- alive or.

Conceded there's nothing wrong with the premise what is going on here is one of these Obama asked political tricks to mid to make it seem like because the idea of not having everybody be a judge is a good one. Therefore we have to be excited. And celebrate. A horrible candidate because she wasn't a judge.

Now look you can't deny the woman's brilliant you can't deny that she's highly respected. -- fact you get denied that she's relatively conservative for an Obama take I mean obviously.

You can't deny it because I think she's been wanting to get she's -- wanted to be on the court since she was nine years old. And therefore when I -- as one of her qualifications. That she works well with people and she actually hired a couple of teachers at Harvard who were conservative. I am not impressed.

And she worked hard to balance the Harvard faculty two allowed to have more conservative. --

I doubt she hired a couple service picked up the issue is tries she was anticipating this moment. What she would need something -- con the American people -- taught taught things that's all part of the Trojan horse package that she's modeling herself into the court the idea. Daughter I should say the court ruled. By he had just not taking a position and he sees parallels with the Obama. Campaign and now the Obama presidency that this is a guy who had very little if any experience but it was kind of -- already avoided taking any how to controversial positions. Particularly when he was in Illinois so we could present himself as the nutrients -- unblemished guy.

But it's a done deal or indicate it was a predecessor general -- 61 -- in this is different jobs that's irrelevant chaebol is really -- she should go under scrutiny Asian.

Also this is the best argument you can come up with isn't the wheels of the government have been so adequately raised say that she's a foregone conclusion therefore we should -- debate.

I know what -- she hasn't even had any bearing his yacht and you are saying we can't debate her because she's already hadn't.

This is what kinda hustle and -- delta -- and.

I'd be happy if it is surely can betting on the higher failure -- so I will also -- to anyone right Mac and is an extra ten doesn't win going away on the failure of our elected representatives to do their job is obviously a safe yes it is about a one -- laws that you've got tonight how Scott Brown -- you -- I was just gonna bring up Scott -- already gotten. Console the -- my. Because then I think is offense. And she assures him she loves the military answer any they said she'll tell whatever why she needs I'll tell you get on our. Come bonds stopped dad's not lie and listener asked. Arlen Specter says she said she thought the -- was not sufficiently deferential to congress. Moon. And he thinks that's a convincing -- there rather than a little -- that she's provide not -- not come on now Specter says no she's a very good candidate with excellent credentials because we can't find anything in her record that she's ever had an opinion on. Except that she thought the military shouldn't be a lot on the Harvard campus.

Where that would discriminated gay people absolutely.

Yeah achieved she disagrees she actually did she think clearly is Julie hello again yeah she did allow the most you don't want and that she thought she didn't want to hear you doesn't like the policy.

Whether but the -- said that they had to get on the Jenna -- of course follow the law and Harvard does -- pay its own ruling. Saying that they wouldn't allow discrimination on campus this was motivations -- expressly discriminated and associate all the Harvard --

She she fought to -- the military off campus the gay agenda was more important than defending the country now to you liberals that's normal on the rest of us that's not normal.

God let me ask you that the military -- to keep segregate teams you know that what we're.

Duke 6172666860. John's in the car John your WRKO and Mark Levine hi John.

Good morning down an ally Mark -- was certainly not talking about 65 years. -- the military segregated people you know I've heard a lot more marked than anything else that in fact of the matter -- actually get permits the -- Present on campus because her hand was forced by the federal government however -- way of forming a -- here which is. Such a level playing well all right you say you know not let it think that the liberal.

I got -- with eight other beings and I filed vote. Suit that was taken to the Supreme Court in which their boat was eight to zero again.

Okay dish you -- a lot of this fanatics.

Yeah -- heroes you know she -- CNN one of those votes.

She yeah she came real close somebody must bad -- Just some straight spotter yeah.

CNN any fan I think there are a lot of questions that can be raised about the Kagan nomination in the minister's time over -- childhood. The recruiters were always on the campus if not through the official placement office through the invitation which she did nothing to squelch. They were on campus through the invitation of the Harvard Law School veterans association they were never -- Off the campus she walked out of the -- don't.

All this wasn't locked -- however it what are. They were prohibited. From exercising. Considered to be their deal job description for a period of time they certainly work now she didn't close out that the the -- well.

John thank you for the phone call you -- a bad so I wonder resent Pagliuca is -- how hot hot doesn't sound good.

It would suggested however these were law school slots and elsewhere as well. No no no what no law schools and colleges across the nation ended the vast majority of them. At age discrimination policies and the vast majority of them because look -- discrimination policies did not allow recruiters --

This is not what's relevant what's relevant is that when it came so Elena Kagan is role. Her desire was to fight this is a woman who you can spread you can't find out what she ordered for lunch -- you can find out steady in 1996. Or whatever your wife she was invited in fighting. Vehemently. To put the game movement's agenda ahead of the agenda defending the country that's what's powerful about this piece of information.

I know targeted in the 1930s you had a eighteen now they love.

Mark Levine is a leftist who's on O'Reilly in a regular basis supported and is on Fox News all the time and that's why we have Mir has it he's good now should -- he's good enough for you it's 680 WR KOR.

Right now it's -- my young hot hot line so say hey tell your I. Will be all right well good for me.

And real break back Thomas -- here and AM six PW RK LA misty rainy Friday but that's -- lead to bigger and better things. Over the weekend we certainly anticipate that.

that's okay good and I'm looking forward to bigger better thing since. Then Mark Levine is only. No Mark Levine joins us this is our. President whacko leftists from a Mark Levine radio dot com puts a -- No come on liberal does not begin to state. The vehemence ended the lesion complexity of -- court Democrat. Okay so your your confessed leftist I have to call now at 617266. Exceed sixty and and now let's go to Craig in the car Craig your NW RQ when Mark Levine.

Because they don't Rachael -- I just want to comment -- on the last segment which closed. What are we just give all beyond military. People medals now holds much like. You know Obama that the peace prize before he did anything correct.

Always you're talking about courageous or -- mark you familiar with that story about the desire to get medals for two people for not shooting. And politics that's. Desert Classic where are you gonna do some reading this is nothing you would agree with though it's only left disks online console can't -- out there McChrystal is thinking you're giving me a -- or an award to. Servicemen whose show courageous restraint. And we were having a real Donnybrook just before you joined us so -- this is -- an interesting idea I was thinking you were gonna go in the direction of you know -- school -- play basketball games but they don't turn on the scoreboard to zoom -- on -- self -- college pair of all metals. Because it's not really fair to the soldiers self esteem -- who don't win them.

Exactly if you do want to give anyone a little golf and then if someone screwed up you just pick the model from mum you know. The distributed throughout.

All I don't know Dell let's be proactive sure everybody everybody gets went on your first day -- can't deal congressional medal on the front.

don't let the liberal outlook is part -- working -- for -- is the love I know he was told about it they're orderly.

That we always get concentrated on Barack Obama and I don't know there's like nine days into his presidency he would support a little premature I think Jack thank you very bytes -- a little -- in the car you're on W are you would Mark Levine hi Todd.

Guys thanks to take -- call. -- got about about the Supreme Court justice dot org or excuse me nominee I had two questions one. How many I'll walk professor appointments did she have a hard bird and how many were conservative what -- got. -- conservatives didn't like 35 liberal.

I'm I don't think it was quite that dramatic but it was something like that I think.

Which I mean we're we're pretty much token appointments. Yeah and try to get out of conservatives these days what can I say that good guy that does that they're very very very hard to find. I'm I'm I'm sure they are and give out my next question is. Are my next point and would BI and local military very. I mean she's you know she's a lawyer or a mean allegedly a lawyer she had many different options to still look I'm against don't ask don't tell. She could make a statement she could write papers she could. Confront the military had on -- you know but instead chase is I don't wanna. How how open minded is that how how much Jim bringing people together really is that the six. Get a more like at the --

They are cute actually very very tame compared to other law schools however was not there was -- a coalition of 36 -- schools that brought suit she was not part of it interesting to. That this it was brought before she came to Harvard. And -- did not join the lawsuit which you later on cited advocates brief. Along with that the majority of Harvard -- insight on the DG -- professor. And that she actually allowed to not judge campus prior to the resolution of the lawsuit yellow school my alma mater -- continued until action after the Supreme Court ruled and in fact. Filed a separate ground so in fact just very came in that score and far left activist. Then then most loved school and let's face it lot of schools do not want discrimination they want everyone treated equally. And I would -- frankly that in the 1930s if there were law school that stood up. I -- the military and says because you don't allow black people in the white people will watch a campus where a budget office next door.

I'm glad you brought up race because I think that I think it'll any Canadians unqualified. By default because she's a hater in a -- have gone on now leftist terms. Of the 32 opportunities she had at Harvard. To advance people all of the underclass. 31 times out of those 32 she hired white people.

As a conservative I'm sure you would appreciate the --

I'm trying to think like you and I knew what I now know is that every Democrat. I know that every Democrat and washing should should be opposing her because she's a racist and bigot and a homophobic.

Well it Ali would you would you want people to appoint unqualified black people with a job like Clarence Thomas right.

I don't you -- that's what affirmative action is all -- premise honored.

To Obama -- affirmative action and tell you I oppose his nomination. And I oppose the Supreme Court judges he's supremely unqualified. In fact was the only one the only I think the only sitting justice ever held have been qualified. By the American Bar Association -- three -- that well qualified qualified and not qualified. Because Thomas was not qualified but George W. Bush Republicans believe in affirmative action and they played him anyway so let's just remove it from the bench to get some disqualify them about that.

Army of fuel could join me in blocking. How hot -- I would. I think it's accepted that might only trouble is over though liberal religion is supply in this -- I get confused by this. If it's a black person they're supposed to advance at any price except. If it's a conservative and then they're not a black person anymore explain the logic.

The logic get declares common -- qualified to give Scalia to vote and I'd rather have someone who -- some around.

Well you're just beginning hater it's with the and -- choose true socialist you would be supporting him at any -- he's a conservative so he's not black anymore Jim in the -- or WRKO Mark Levine hi Jim.

I'm more worried not about the nomination to merit -- secondary effects if the way to get to the court. -- do avoid building a body of scholarship. We're gonna lose out on the -- hundreds of people every year boom could really help the country another way to. Good point to get a big bodied scholarship -- dean of Harvard Law School.

Yeah -- is that enemy administrative position.

It actually I'd tell you about that big addition to pick it. It's -- it say it's throughout the legal community people avoid a -- extremely harsh issues because they think they can get on the court.

Exactly so that is a very scary thing it's the same thing with President Obama a little avoided ever. Bid being out in front of any issue because you wanna be tainted without having opinions.

And you stated they would chief Justice Roberts -- assume -- someone who also had very few opinions. And basically kept the -- to.

So isn't that a negative trend.

I think we've been going frankly for the last twenty years. Really ever since -- IDs a yellow probably should sport with -- with the idea that two record. Nominee should talk too much about their belief in the at a -- understanding which I do respect W it would don't wanna talk about something that may appear before -- court.

We'll head on a -- you that's a whole different thing we're talking about a woman who spent her entire professional life avoiding having any opinion. They even what I did she she drinks BM on the record.

She's been in academia for what twenty years now. She has written extensively on all kinds.

And nobody can find an opinion that she holds.

Well like she did one on May hate speech of pornography. That that's very famous article she wrote she's gotten a little lot on the First Amendment that I -- this woman doesn't have a body of writing it just doesn't happen to be judicial opinion.

It's just a very lean body of opinion it's a very lean body. I don't know how it Morley did any other academic she is I tell me where she is on abortion -- Tell me where she is on abortion. Jewish said that Roe vs. Wade is settled -- Yeah how did they do do we know where she is an abortion that's the bull Trout line that they give Obama that's what they say to -- why that's -- Robertson right. Yeah yeah do you believe. Robert. --

Okay -- that's this that's lying news it's just all by the by the way American -- went online the ABA rating for judge Clarence Thomas was qualified by a vote thirteen to two. There is a high ranking I'll grant you that and that is well qualified but it not on --

Fight but I you may be right out double.

Yeah he was -- he may be right he was qualified you racist you come audio are you -- I mean even guys unqualified just because he's black. When it turns -- your raw not. Not judge judge Bork had twice as many unfavorable. Or not qualified. Votes as Clarence Thomas concern or judge Bork judge for engine judge -- is -- world's brilliant. I judges in the country.

Every other justice who received the unanimous vote of well qualified which is the height.

you don't think it has some to do with their political leanings that would change that.

Do it at the fact that Thomas was. Not very smart -- much intellectual and.

Robert actually how Aurora Aurora ratings -- always disagree with you characterization. That is not fair is trying to be funny if it is you just on paper -- a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross which is a fabulous school. And denied that he went to Yale Law School now maybe that's where you begin to deteriorate I don't know are you knows the week life.

I tell you that I don't people who knew him you know lots and they talked to the fact he had his nomination hearing when I was there -- big days never talked about as effective used to run dirty movies in the basement. And I think that's hilarious but he called high tech would think -- I -- you enjoy just pornography and you know what this little. Nothing wrong with it like you if you like pornography and you wanna show it to a group of guys -- you.

Right let me ask you this mark -- alone in the basement when the movie was -- was he the only went down there -- student credit ordering six Yale law students. Are reportedly so you're talking almost the entire Obama administration. Was down -- watching these --

I think the Obama administration would split probably high school at this time.

Dog and that's sure they are all too young and under qualified. Which is why Kagan is so good for the she's young and she's not on the right we don't know she knows anything about any of these issues do it.

Pilot played that Thomas lied under oath when he claimed it was a high tech lynching he would never watched pornography to the guy who they like to. He just a liar I don't care that he wasn't an --

Okay if a liar is a priming the president you watched president speak he lies every day. If they were gonna worry about liars in my.

Did like lying under both I'm sure you against Bill Clinton.

No I'm just trying to I'm just trying to make sure you hold. Everybody -- the same standard that's certainly you know -- as soon as there's a black guy there you wanna go after -- I have a problem that. I would just because you're terrible look if you have a whole policy that's based and having people who are less good at the job advance. OK you call it affirmative action that you can't all of a sudden did you decide you don't like affirmative action that. You started off saying he was an affirmative action job.

well. Okay he was human case of -- George W. Bush I've George Bush senior acting in a wave the conservatives think over the affirmative.

And in the way that you guys love which is take the guy who's not the best and move him ahead because of his skin color. Jim in the car your next NW RKO.

Yeah how wanna make -- sedation and and I got a question you get. I am actually a cool. -- his point about comparing the vicious you with the race says there are many yet desegregation. In the military. I was veteran Persian gulf veteran. And had a few guys who -- unit that I know work day and I I probably would that work put them. But it's interesting that when it was decided that he -- desegregation. Was wrong. Congress outlawed. Pure and simple. Yet when they got that no gays in the military was wrong. They took the coward's way out they'd created don't ask don't tell they passed the law. That -- The policy on the military. When they could have just outlawed banning military I didn't know. No handbook whisk that up the patient in mind that like to ask your yeah. -- any one. Congressman senator or President Clinton. That voted for and passed that law. That did not explicitly. Say gays can be in the military have any of them been subjected to the protests that the military have.

First of all I completely agree if you observation I think you're dead on you're absolutely right. And the answer is yes a lot of people a lot of gay people protested Bill Clinton. And they certainly protesters have not a lot of the democratic leaders of that time. And most of them have changed their minds including Bill Clinton who says that he thinks it was a bad body -- and find it so. I think it was the wrong idea at the time. I think people realize it was a mistake and I also think that the culture and that America has changed very much and good.

Well wait wait what happened was he had cowardice on the part of President Clinton did -- who who who he blew the thing politically and did wanna spend the capital on.

Did he wanted to do the right thing in the -- targets used just simply to rescinded and the way Truman did in 1948. Rescinded the -- on the creation of black troops. And that congress pushed back specifically the Democrats led by 79 they conservative Democrat the time from Georgia. If people like Colin Powell pushed back to. And yes you're right Clinton I took it he he didn't want expend the political capital on it maybe you wouldn't avoid anyway I don't know. But he didn't back down but that -- discredit to Colin Powell's credit. It's a lot of people who voted for that time -- all of them have changed their minds and I think part of it is that people know a lot more about gay people in 2010 and they get in 1990.

Three I know I think it has to -- evolution of the society so fifteen years later it's much easier to look at and say oh yeah that was a mistake but they had to deal with the reality of the moment they were which is what's unique about the military. Is the military's about defending the country so you would expect when it comes to social transitions. That they would be running behind. And the important thing is stood to make sure that -- defending the country's -- first.

Stop but if you -- Truman desegregated -- 1948. And that was six years before brown versus board of education. So at least in some cases -- in that case the military would navigate.

Well this this the only game was a Supreme Court ruling that that doesn't reflect where society was at.

Back among the self was put segregated well into the sixties you -- the Civil Rights Act allow blacks to vote.

No what I think what true Mosul again it was a reality is that the black troops were there are fighting today they were doing had been defending the country or heroes gone back to the civil war. -- felt it wasn't appropriate to found what he found it he was a veteran of World War I room and found it utterly abhorrent it absolutely abhorrent. That black troops and where the American uniform would be treated worse by the -- government then -- German prisoners of war that's what I already.

General this general did not want to desegregate the military you overruled -- general and I should say the -- what you would get troops they've also been fighting alongside street -- For hundreds of years. And it's the same but the.

I have never faced the discrimination of the blacks is really not comparative situation we've got to -- hang on mark 617. 2666 -- Mark Levine is our guest from Mark Levine radio dot com he's all over talk TV.

However what you do. That -- Reuters data that Julia Jordan tape America's so called. This sort of becoming just just that great but when you talk about our Hershey's concerning. Homosexuals in the military or recruiters on campus. And I ask you don't scream that debate. In control of racism because it has more it has nothing to do it the other there's an insult to people who who -- under the -- don't.

Can you explain that's a -- so we can understand that.

the -- what is all the good legal debate of the board debate. I -- discrimination discrimination whether nominally let me let me just -- just where -- driving down the road right now I can look at the car next to me. And I can tell if a person's a person has blackened 38. Product anyone -- I can tell us there are. Mr. Big cheer or Catholic priest or Madonna or on until I got I cannot help they're homosexual joint effort out -- right try out there -- debate but --

Which by the way mark has always been the liberal argument about why blacks need the extra special treatment that there are afforded by left. Yeah of course because they have a unique history in this country that nobody else can begin begin to claim it's also because race is seen as an immutable characteristic. Nobody knew exactly -- yeah you're just sent -- just about without talking about.

They thought that the -- immutable or not we don't discriminate on the basis of religion which is immutable characteristic. So it that that.

But mark -- know their argument is valid in here's why because as human beings we discriminate. Constantly every day that's how we're wired to make judgments about people. On a superficial basis the reason blacks have been afforded this special status and our country. Is because one how they suffered in the past. And tool because the what Patrick was just saying you look at Menino who they are there automatically distinguish from everybody else.

That the fact that you cannot -- first of all not all black got a -- distinguished our people looking past. They end of the day that's not the reason the reason is that week we've -- we do have this very long history. It is clearly that we don't discriminate on the basis of religion as well and you can't always stealth like you can rarely tell those religion. By looking at.

But if you compare -- if you compare the concern over discrimination based on religious grounds or many other Brown's with -- with race. The one that we glorified. In holed up all the time in our society the name that you guys call us for having normal political ping is all the time is racist that's most highly charged one. In our country.

Todd I'm against all discrimination but I will accept the discrimination against blacks has been worse historically than any other discrimination. -- get discrimination on the basis of gender on the basis of religion on the basis of sexual orientation. Anything like that because we should treat we should not pre judge people based on characteristics they have that are not relevant to the job period.

that's true but to say they're all created equal I think his just ignoring what the reality is that there's discrimination amid all the time that is not -- plot doesn't concern itself with. Robert in the car -- next NWR jail.

I know I go I don't wanna run yeah. There's -- creative success we've been -- forty minutes they're burning that argument to a segregation racism thing but the one thing it is said that wasn't. The -- the actual regarding dean Kagan.

They actually does have an opinion on record regarding the First Amendment and I would it.

Thank you -- read that before you open your mouth which kind of the.

The complex is made it makes me think you did -- because in that decision she advocates limiting free speech. And if you --

You would be aware there -- see once you once you down you to read what he can come on the air next Friday in imported tens of thousands of people but you misinformed about ten minutes ago.

That you were speaking without all.

Well that's that's a good point because her position on free speech is very unusual -- that says that she thinks it should be that that oppression of free speech should be. Judge based on how true your free speech was or not. AL which is a very very and you -- quite -- and one that maybe we should discuss next week if you're -- for mark what do you what are you informed on this are you gonna have to go study now.

Well I know that you said that the government could band that's some kind of pornography.

No she sets -- should be graded. Based on the its accuracy and that the government does squash free speech when we carry more weight well let's do that let's get -- committed to it let's do that because you and I would go crazy about you know -- strippers you know. Nude dancing is say is is is protected under the First Amendment would add that that's a -- spring I cut that was arched position as absurd it all right coming out as president next week.
