In the video below, Alex Jones has Cliven Bundy on the show to respond to the claim that he is a “racist” for remarks he was quoted as saying by the New York Times. <\/span><\/h3>\n

In his daily news conference, the discussion of abortion, welfare abuse and race came up with Bundy blaming the federal government for the negative effects seen throughout the African America community, but his direct quote has had headlines<\/a> screaming “racism,” all day.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/span><\/h3>\n

That quote was:<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,\u201d he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, \u201cand in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids \u2013 and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch \u2013 they didn\u2019t have nothing to do. They didn\u2019t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn\u2019t have nothing for their young girls to do. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAnd because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?\u201d he asked. \u201cThey abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I\u2019ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn\u2019t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

By the same token, what almost all the headlines ignore are the other comments Bundy made, about Illegal immigrants, which has Think Progress<\/a> saying Bundy is “fond” of them.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

At the 7:25 mark, Jones starts discussing the above Bundy quote and brings Cliven on to the show to respond to all the racism accusations.<\/span><\/h3>\n
