1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel Do you believe these characters are weirdos?

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: So Hammer, I guess Jay Tapper used to be some

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: sort of respected anchorman slash journalist. That's the nn that

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: he's just. He's he's just as bad, if not worse

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: than everybody else, right.

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: But his smug level comes off as he's better than you.

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: Oh dear, he's better than you, even though he's more

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: full of crap than most people. So why are we

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: talking about Jake Tapper?

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: January sixth, pipe bomber. First of all, they've just arrested him.

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's administration had been sitting on this information and

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: this evidence forever. They had all the stuff to arrest

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: this guy, they just never acted. Attorney General Pambondi even

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: said like all this evidence was collecting dust under the

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: Biden administration, and so, to be fair, so was Joe Biden.

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: He's laying down there on the floor somewhere, is collecting dust.

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: Like they had all, you know, all his purchases, all

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: this guy's cell phone records. You know, I would like

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: to see you go into a true value by in

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: caps and batteries and connectors and pipes, And they.

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: Had all that on record, and they had all They

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: had his video.

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: And he's masking the guy at the front desk. Where's

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: the pipe bomb section?

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Right?

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: Oh, Aisle six, thank you. They had all all the stuff.

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: But Jake Tapper identified the J six pipe bomber suspect

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: as a thirty year old white man. Please roll the tape.

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: Bryan Cole Junior, a thirty year old white man from

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: the DC Suburbs, is charts with transporting an explosive device

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by means of explosions.

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: Narrator, The pipe bomber is black, not even close of

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: being white. He's not mixed. No, he's not light skin.

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Question is a white guy?

35
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: Like If you put a side by side of pipe

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Bomber and former NBA player Region Rondo, they look identical.

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: Man like this dude's got the big forehead, the big neck.

38
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: He looks like Region Rondo. That's why I thought it was.

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: When I first saw the picture on the screen, I thought, Oh,

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: was he making a comeback.

41
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Play the Jake Tapper thing again?

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: Very beginning.

43
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: Ryan Cole Jr. A thirty year old white man from

44
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: the DC Suburbs.

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: As as he's saying this, I there's a picture of

46
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the black guy on the screen as he's talking about

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: the story. What are you doing? So who's writing for you?

48
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: Who is I don't believe necessarily that narrative matters here.

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: But but then there is a rush to judge sometimes

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: with these people.

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: And this isn't the first time this has happened at CNN. No,

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: remember when that New York City shooter was going around.

53
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: I think it was Aaron Burnett called this guy and

54
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 2: again they put his picture on the screen nowhere near

55
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: a white guy, possibly white.

56
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: Male, possibly white mustache, sunglasses in that building, isolated to

57
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: they believe to various locations, including upper floors.

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so Nige, as a professional broadcaster, as somebody who

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: has to talk about sometimes breaking news, you do things

60
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: on the fly. Is this an innocent mistake or is

61
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: there something more to this because it happens a lot

62
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: at CNN.

63
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's precedent. I mean, like, just you know what

64
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: enters my mind here. A couple of years ago, the Israelis,

65
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: CNN reported the Israelis destroyed a Godsen hospital, killed five

66
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: hundred people. They didn't even wait for the sun to

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: come up. That hospital was still standing, nobody had been killed. Okay,

68
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: truth doesn't matter, it's narrative. I don't believe Jake Tapper.

69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: If he would have known this guy was a black

70
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: guy instead of a white guy, he would have said white.

71
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: But he's just Ron Burgundy. He'll read whatever you write

72
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: right in front.

73
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Of him exactly. And there might be something deeper going

74
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: on here. I don't know, because, look, mistakes happen.

75
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: You can misspeak, and I get that we've done that,

76
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: hell probably eighteen times an hour. But this is a

77
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: pretty big mistake that CNN habitually makes
