1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Mike, don't forget something like n of evs have been 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: sold into blue counties within the US islands. 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: We see comes about in blue counties and blue cities 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: and blue states. 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 3: Blue is just trouble, trouble. 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 2: I don't want this next one or two segments to 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: seem two. 8 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 3: Dragon. 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: I were just talking about it a completely different subjects 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: off air, about something that some meeting I'm supposed to 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: go to tomorrow, and I made the comment to Dragon, 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: I went to this meeting last year, you know, last year, 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: and it was just so elementary that it was just like, 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,319 Speaker 2: oh my gosh. You know, it was like here's how 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 2: you log in. And we were just talking about how 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: it was rudimentary, elementary. It was almost condescending. It was 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: like so basically it was like, oh, I don't want 18 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: this segment to be like this, but I do want 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: you to think about it. So here we are, and 20 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: it's now Tuesday. Everything that has to do with Minnesota really, 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: you know, started a long time ago. But fast forward 22 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: to Saturday morning, and now we have a video that 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: went viral that captured moments a group of men on 24 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 2: the street in Minneapolis struggle with another guy. That guy 25 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: is armed, that man gets shot and killed. And then 26 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: we learn that a US Border Patrol agent fatally shot 27 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: a thirty seven year old man named Alex Preddy. And 28 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: then the protests erupted, and the crowds gather on mid 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: street closures, and you got a heavy law enforcement presence, 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: And just within minutes that video clip being posted on 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: social media, as I said on Monday, everybody ran to 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: their corners. Voices on both sides issued definitivejudgements condemning the 33 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: agent is trigger happy or hailing his actions justified self defense. 34 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: And we need neither side really knows the truth yet. 35 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: But within minutes of the video clip being posted on 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: social media, everybody had definitive judgments. But you would think 37 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: we would have learned by now. The record, and I 38 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: don't mean the record of that particular video, but the 39 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: record of all these kinds of incidents teaches us or 40 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 2: makes us ask at least, how could so many people 41 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: claim to know the full story immediately just from steppets 42 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: of a video. And here's where the history comes in. Now, 43 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: before try goes directly to the history and give you 44 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 2: some examples. Tim Walls, Democrat Vice president of candidate, quickly 45 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: went to lambaste the Department of Homeland Security. Why was 46 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: he lamb basting them because he claimed that DHS was 47 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 2: trying to spend the narrative before there was a proper investigation. 48 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: Well that's pretty ironic, isn't it. He then claimed the 49 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: video told a clear story. Oh isn't that spinning equipping 50 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: that the Trump administration was asking people, don't believe your 51 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: lying eyes. In fact, he added, quote all of you 52 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: saw a video with your own eyes. We have a 53 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: chaotic situation caused by the largest deployment in American history, 54 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: a federal agency into a community with no communication to locals. 55 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 2: We had a chaotic situation where an individuals in their 56 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: car shot and killed, referring to the earlier one from 57 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: Rene Good. And on the other side, the pro Trump 58 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: commentators declared the cheating one hundred percent justified, totally justified. 59 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: We've seen the clips. This makes you know, for the 60 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: purposes of this particular segment, doesn't make a difference what 61 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: side of the debate you're on over even illegal immigration. 62 00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: Brint Large last night, I don't know what made me 63 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: start thinking about this, but you could go all the 64 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: way back to the Subpruder film you know what the 65 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: subpruder film is the jfk assassination in Daley Plaza and 66 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: Dallas in November twenty second, nineteen sixty three. We have 67 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: literally decades of viral images of videos, some really grainy 68 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: like this zupruder film. And now we all have you know, telephones, 69 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: mobile phones, cell phones, computer handheld computers. Is what we 70 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: really have that has a phone in it, that had 71 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: it can produce four K video, But every single time, 72 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: limited clips, no context, none of the preceding events, none 73 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: of the follow up evidence, all fuel false narratives, and 74 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: then later they are either reframed or maybe debunked or 75 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: actually proven, but either way it's never what entirely what 76 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: we think it is. The rush to judgment in the 77 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: current shooting is a troubling trend for just a few 78 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: seconds of cell phone video. If I've talked before about 79 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: this on the other station, talk about it now, how 80 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: it really is maddening and sad at the same time. 81 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: How whenever somebody's getting beat up. And don't get me wrong, 82 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: I understand there are certain situations where I may not 83 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 2: get involved, but I would hope that in most situations 84 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: I would do something other than just stand there and 85 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: pull my phone out. That most people just pull their 86 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: phone out and video and attack. A robbery, a beating, 87 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: a stabbing, a shooting, whatever it is we just recorded. 88 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: Nobody tries to stop the assailant. Nobody, you know, nobody 89 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: tries to do anything. And don't get me wrong, I 90 00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 2: understand the hesitation, you know, So I see something goinging 91 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: on my thought process. Do I really want to pull 92 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 2: out a weapon? Do I really want to to a 93 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: dragon's point hit them in a leg? I don't want, 94 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: you know, no center mass shooting here because I don't 95 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: even know. Wrongful death lawsuit or maybe sometimes the wrongful 96 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: death lawsuit might end up being cheaper than you know, 97 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: permally disabling somebody. All those things go through people's heads. 98 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: I get that, But where's the chivalry, where's the idea 99 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: we ought to do something? But beyond that, why do 100 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: so many people act as though the initial images somehow 101 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: tell the entire story when one example after another example 102 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: after another example proves that's not always the case. So 103 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: I came up with twelve cases where initial conclusions based 104 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 2: on either partial videos or just early images were proven false, misleading, 105 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: or at the at the conclusion of that, which was 106 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: either a trial or a press conference or some ending. 107 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: They all have this natural ending of some sort. We 108 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: suddenly realized that whatever the partial videos of the early 109 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: images supposedly were proving became altered when we started to 110 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 2: scrutinize it a little more in depth. Nineteen eighty seven, 111 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: Tajuana Brawley, I bet there are people in this audience 112 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: because I know what my demo is. So nineteen eighty seven, 113 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: some of you weren't even born yet. Fifteen year old 114 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: Tajuana Brawley Black claimed that six white men abducted, torture 115 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: and raped her for four days, that they wrote racial 116 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: slurs in her body, smeared her body with feces and urine. 117 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: The media coverage local newspapers, The New York Post, Daily News, 118 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: New York Times, television reports. The networks publisher described photos 119 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: showing her being removed from the scene wrapped in a blanket. 120 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: There's either blanket or sheet, I don't remember. She was disheveled, 121 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: semi conscious. All that fueled widespread outrage and sympathetic coverage. 122 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: Framing it as a hate crime. 123 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: But then a New York State grand jury investigation concluded 124 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: that she had fabricated the entire story. One of the 125 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: men even successfully sued for defamation. And of course who 126 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: is the middle of all that, The Reverend Old Sharpton, 127 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: one of the premier race baters in this country. And 128 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: number two, can't we all just get along? Yeah, that 129 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: one's coming up next this hour's chance to win that 130 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: thousand bucks coming up in the next five minutes thanks 131 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: to Mercedes Bens of Littleton Mercedes of Littleton dot com. 132 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 4: It's amazing how much manipulation MSNBC does. The picture that 133 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 4: they put up of nurse Alex from Minnesota was manipulated 134 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: to make him look better. He's tanner instead of his 135 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 4: as I call it casper white skin, which I have 136 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: nothing wrong with that, and he just looks a lot 137 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 4: more handsome than his original picture. Way to go means streaming, by. 138 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: The way, let's get it right. It's no longer MSNBC. 139 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: It is ms now, not later, not earlier. Now, we 140 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: should call him MS later. They're always all wrong. Can't 141 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: we all just get along? Can't we all just get along? 142 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: Rodney King beating nineteen ninety one. I know you've seen 143 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: this clip the LA police officers appearing brutally to be 144 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: the weekend innocent looking King. So then we get, you know, 145 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: riots and outrage over police brutality. Then when you see 146 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: the full video on the context, it revealed that Rodney 147 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: King had actually been endangering the public, speeding at over 148 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour while drunk and drugs in 149 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: a system he didn't. He refused to pull over when 150 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: the cop tried to stop him. That led to the 151 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: typical California high speed chase for miles, and then he 152 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 2: resisted arrest. And of course he's hyped up on drugs 153 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: and drunk and everything else. And he's a big guy too, 154 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: So now you've got resisting arrest and it turns into 155 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: a violent encounter. Oh by the way, don't forget Rodney 156 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: King had previous convictions for violent spousal abuse and robbery 157 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: and it served hard time in prison. But that one 158 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 2: little video, I can, man, I can still see it 159 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 2: playing in my head. The billy clubs are out and 160 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: they're beating the snot out of him, trying to get subdued, 161 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 2: and he's fighting back. George Zimmerman Trayvon Martin twenty twelve. 162 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: Now not really, it's limited surveillance and audio, but the 163 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: limited surveillance and audio in that case. George Zimmerman, uh white, Hispanic, 164 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: remember that he was a racist vigilante. He was stocking 165 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 2: Trayvon an unarmed team, and didn't you have a trial? 166 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: And at trial you get evidence including injuries and witness 167 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: accounts that all supported lawful self defense. And Trayvon remember 168 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: he had drugs in his system, he had a history 169 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: of drug use. He was acting suspiciously, according to Zimmerman, 170 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: who notified the cops, and then Trayvon doubled back to 171 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: Zimmerman and attacked him, punching him in the nose, breaking it. 172 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: That caused Zimmerman to fall backward onto the grass. Martin 173 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: then climbed on top of Zimmerman, pinned him down, brought 174 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: making just blow blow blow to the face and head 175 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: while hitting Zimmerman's head against the concrete, lacerating him. Zimmerman 176 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 2: yelled for help, felt Martin reaching for his Zimmerman's holster gun, 177 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: so he fired a single shot to Martin's chest. He 178 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: had absolute reasonable fear for his life. And then, of course, 179 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: probably one of the earliest times where we get people 180 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 2: accusing Zimmermann of racism because Martin was black, though Zimmerman 181 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: was a parentheses white close parenthesies hispanic. A jury found 182 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: Zimmerman not guilty, and of course I woke up to 183 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 2: this one. Back in twenty fourteen, Michael Brown been shot. 184 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: Now not video based, but remember hands up, don't shoot, 185 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: a narrative that went viral from false witness statements implying 186 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 2: that Michael Brown had surrendered in that a white cop 187 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: had shot him for just racial reasons because. 188 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 3: He's just a black guy, so we'll just shooting. 189 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 2: Later, forensic evidence, grand jury testimony, and an Obama administration 190 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: Department of Justice investigation proved that none of that was true. 191 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: And of course, Michael Brown tested pausing for drugs in 192 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: a system he committed an armed robbery. Prior to the shooting. 193 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: Darren Wilson signed walking down the middle of the road, 194 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: told him to use the sidewalk. 195 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: All till he did. He told him to get up 196 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 3: with a sidewalk. 197 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: That prompted Brown to scream expertise at Darren Wilson. So 198 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 2: when Wilson tried to exit his own police vehicle, Michael 199 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: Brown pushed the door back against him, reached inside the 200 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: cops car and started a violent physical fight at the 201 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: driver's window. Brown had reached him, punched Wilson in the 202 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: face and the upper body multiple times, overpowered him, grabbed 203 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: for his holstered service weapon. Wilson fought to retain control 204 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: with the gun fired at least one shot during the 205 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: close quarter struggle, hitting Brown's hand and arm. Wilson testified 206 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: he feared for his life, believing that that Brown could 207 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: disarm him and usually gun against him. Brown broke free 208 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: and ran. Wilson pursued on foot. Foot on foot, Brown 209 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: turned and lunged, lunged toward the cop, coming at him 210 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: aggressively with his hands not up in surrender. Witness this 211 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: confirmed that so the cop fired at Brown, who was 212 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: facing Officer Wilson, closing in on distance, charging at him. God, 213 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: I remember discussing this a lot officers Officer Wilson's actions 214 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: self defense, but the false narrative ends up don't shoot. 215 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: That became a movement, It became an entire movement. Of course, 216 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: What was the purpose of the movement to imply that 217 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: Wilson acted illegitimately and was acting as a racist? That 218 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: myth I believe still persists today. Nick stand Man Nathan 219 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: Phillips twenty nineteen, a really short viral video from the 220 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: Lincoln Memorial Kelvington Catholic student Sandman facing a Native American 221 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: elder in a protest. Of course, the media and a 222 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: bunch of others they accused the kid of instigating the confrontation, 223 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: said he was smirking at Phillips, the Native at the Indian, 224 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: so that got him branded as a racist aggressor. But 225 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: then when you look at the extended footage, it showed 226 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: Phillips was the one who've confronted Sandman and the other 227 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: teams while a group of black Hebrew Israelite we're taunting them. Well, 228 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: in the end, Sandman won multi million dollar defamation settlements 229 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: from CNN and the Washington Post, and I think maybe 230 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: a couple of others too. Jesse Smolett twenty nineteen. This 231 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: one's so stupid, Jesse Smolette, Why kind of has been? 232 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: Actor described a noose wrapped around coil around his neck 233 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: going out, you know, sub zero weather to get a 234 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: subway sandwich or something. Claim he was beaten up by 235 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: a couple of white racist maga people who were stalking 236 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: in the middle of the night. Because everybody knew that 237 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: he's coming out for get a subway sandwich. Right, Yeah, 238 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 2: he was certainly coming out, because you know, I always 239 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: know when Dragen's going out to get a subway sandwich. 240 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 5: Let's imagine the conversation from Dems yesterday. Trump is Hitler, 241 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 5: I said, just stop though, this is not the Germany's 242 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 5: aims Frank yees.

And then just stop though 245 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 5: Hm always madsy the wind is wrong with the Dems. 246 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: Let me let me go the interpretation in booth that 247 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: was muffled. I couldn't understand something about the Anne Frank thing. 248 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: And does it print out a text for you. 249 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Yes, it does give you the transcripture, so it says, 250 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: let's imagine conversation from the Demes yesterday. Trump is Hitler 251 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: and the Ice is the Gestapo. This is Nazi Germany, 252 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: Somalians are and Frank. Yet today what the Dems are 253 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: saying is, hey, we just got off the phone with 254 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: Hitner and we're happy to cooperate with him. And his 255 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: Gestapo always matters which way the wind is blowing with 256 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: the demes. 257 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, the whole Ann Frank thing really did bug me. 258 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: In fact, the director of the Holocaust Museum came out 259 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 2: and said, you know, we don't do that, stop it. 260 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: And Frank was pursued by Nazis family killed. You know, 261 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 2: she goes into hiding. There is not a comparison here whatsoever. 262 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: But that's how volatile and stupid it's got. Back to 263 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 2: j he smelet. These are just examples. I can a 264 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: dozen examples that I came up with about how Minnesota 265 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 2: is a great lesson, but both shootings are a great lesson, 266 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: and how it's by the way, do you know that 267 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 2: a short a short footnote here, I thought he was 268 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 2: carrying a nine millimeter glock. 269 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 3: He was not. He was carrying a sig P three twenty. 270 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 3: I think a weapon of war. 271 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: Michael, Well, it's a weapon that maybe I'll talk about 272 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 2: this tomorrow. It's a weapon that I would not own. 273 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: Can I just give you the top line? 274 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: It's a bad gun, like as in physically. 275 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 3: It's been known to h I don't want to say 276 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 3: fire on its own malfunction yes. 277 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: And well I'm not sure because I'm not malfunction implies 278 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 2: that something went wrong. It's almost as if there's a 279 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: design flaw in this. You could be holstering it, gets 280 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: caught in your shirt or something in fires you can 281 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: you could be jostling it and it can fire. M 282 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: So a gun that is that easily fired and you're 283 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: in a physical fight with a cop. I'm not saying 284 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: it happened. I'm just saying that this adds an entirely 285 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: other dimension to go down on this story that based 286 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: on that gun, unlike a glock h could been fired accidentally, 287 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: just even by even if the IS or CBP officer 288 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 2: reached in or saw say the saw the barrel or 289 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: saw some part of the gun and reached in and 290 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 2: was trying to get it, could have not even with 291 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: pulling the trigger, but just by grabbing it and jostling 292 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 2: it and trying to pull it out from his pants, 293 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 2: or if he had a concealed carry holster of some sort, 294 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: trying to get it out of the holster could have 295 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 2: caused the gun to fire. Or even getting slammed to 296 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: the ground could have caused the gun to fire. It's 297 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 2: just a weapon that and I know all you gun 298 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: enthusiasts out there once again, this is one of those 299 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 2: things where everybody has a hard opinion about it. 300 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 3: Ah, you're absolutely wrong. It's the greatest gun. 301 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: Ever, and there are other people who that's the worst 302 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: piece of crap gun I've ever seen in my life. Well, 303 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 2: somewhere in between is the truth. All I know is 304 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: I wouldn't known one. Jesse Smilett twenty nineteen photos and 305 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: Chicago Police Department body cam video showed the television star, 306 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: who is black, with what he described as a loosely 307 00:20:53,800 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: wrapped a loosely wrapped noose wrapped or coiled somehow around 308 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: his neck. Then you get still images from the body 309 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: cam video that were widely circulated in the news reports, 310 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: particularly by the networks. Some of that was claiming racism 311 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 2: though Light Magotypes has stalked him in the middle of the night, 312 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 2: noosed him, thrown bleach on him.

The use deadly 338 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: force was ruled to be justified, primarily as self defense. 339 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 2: And to protect the officer and others from the threat 340 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 2: that he was posing. Brooks indeed had a criminal record, 341 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: including a shooting and false imprisonment, and served hard time 342 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: in prison. Riots riots simply because of what And I 343 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 2: want to emphasize this because in this one particular, as 344 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 2: I was going back rereading about it, this was really 345 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 2: pushed by the networks all and of course the cables too. 346 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: But my point being, TV really did push this one 347 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: because of the body cam footage, because it was one 348 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 2: of those things where you know, we're gonna show this video, 349 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: but you know you've got kids in the room, make 350 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: sure they leave, and of course we're gonna shop, We're 351 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: gonna spop the video at the moment that the officer fires, Well, 352 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: why why because we all know what happens, and it's 353 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 2: not like in the movies where you're gonna see the 354 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 2: blood and guts fly everywhere. That's not what it's really like. 355 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 2: So why not show it and show him getting hint 356 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 2: and crumpling over. Why not show that that's always bumfuzzledman? 357 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: The mart Jacob Blake Another shooting. This was in twenty 358 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 2: twenty Kenosha, Wisconsin. Cell phone video showed that the cops 359 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 2: were shooting. That the cop shot Jacob Blake seven times 360 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: in the back as he leaned into his car, ignoring 361 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: or igniting protests over another arm. 362 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: Black man's been killed. 363 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 2: Then later contexts revealed that the the cops had responded 364 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: to a call by the victim's own ex girlfriend because 365 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 2: he was violating a no contact restraining order and he 366 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 2: had an outstanding warrant for third degree felony sexual assault 367 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: against her from a prior incident. So here he is 368 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: as they attempt to make an arrest, ignoring police commands, violent, 369 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 2: resisting the cops attempts to handcuffed him, physically fighting with 370 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: them while armed with a knife. He then ignored their 371 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: orders not to get into his vehicle, whereas three young 372 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 2: children were seated, and while holding the knife, reached into 373 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: the car, leading the cops to suspect he could be 374 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 2: getting another weapon, including a gun, or he might be 375 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 2: actually moving to harm the children because there was a 376 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: restraining You shouldn't have shouldn't have had the kids, and 377 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 2: that's when Officer Rustin Shesky fired seven shots. 378 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 3: HM. 379 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: When you hear the whole story described, then suddenly whatever 380 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 2: narrative was in your brain? Ought, even if the narrative 381 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: doesn't go away. What I would expect most rational human 382 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 2: beings to do, which at least question the narrative they 383 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: have in their brain. Unfortunately most don't, but I wish 384 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: they would. Number nine in our countdown, our countdown of 385 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: how the medium manipulates us. Kyle Rittenhouse that we talked 386 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: about yesterday. So let's go back to the peaceful summer 387 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty. Black Lives Matter organized protests. They turned 388 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 2: violent after the Blake shooting, and then two days later 389 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: he got initial eclips that appeared to portray Kyle Rittenhouse, 390 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: who at that time was seventeen years old, as an 391 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: active shooter. He was hunting down their Black Lives Matter protesters. 392 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 2: He indeed did shoot two protesters and wounded another, so 393 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 2: the prosecutors in Wisconsin charged him with first degree murder 394 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 2: and other charges. Then we get the full videos, and 395 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 2: of course in the trial we get all the evidence 396 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: that demonstrated he was acting in self defense because the protesters, 397 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 2: the three that he shot, two that he killed, one 398 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: that he wounded, had targeted, chased, and were attacking him. 399 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: A jury founding guilty on all the charges and remember, 400 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: as I told you yesterday, the unlawful possession of a 401 00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 2: firearm by a miner was dismissed by the prosecutor cause 402 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 2: under Wisconsin law, as a seventeen year old can legally 403 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 2: possess and own a long gun as long as it's 404 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: not short of the sixteen inches. All of those shots 405 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 2: were white, even though some of the media outlets of 406 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: the time false reported that they were black. 407 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 3: How does that happen? 408 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 5: Now? 409 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 2: I know, hoodies, night fires, chaos, everything, But don't you 410 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: think the editorial rooms of the networks would say, wait, wait, wait, 411 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 2: wait a minute, Let's get somebody with some forensic expertise 412 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 2: to look at the video before we start claiming, Oh 413 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: my dad, here's a white kid, a white teenager shooting 414 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: black people. No, because that doesn't fit the narrative. Number ten. 415 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: I actually didn't remember this one Mckeah Bryant shooting. This 416 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 2: is from twenty twenty one. The body cam footage initially 417 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 2: sparked all this fury because it showed a Columbus, Ohio 418 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: cop faintly shooting a sixteen year old black girl Mckea Bryant, 419 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 2: with claims that she was not armed at all. The 420 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 2: full context indicated that the cops were responding to an 421 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 2: attempted stabbing. 422 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 3: Call at her Foster home. 423 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 2: Bryant had pushed another girl to the ground and then 424 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 2: charged another girl a third girl with the knife, pinning 425 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: her against the car and shouting a threat. I'm going 426 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 2: to stab the f out of you the word. She 427 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: then raised her arm in the air to apparently stab 428 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: the girl. I mean, think about that. Play it in 429 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: your mind. She's got somebody pinned against the car. She's violent, 430 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: she's volatile, she's got a knife in her hand. She's 431 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: already threatened somebody else. She raises a knife as if 432 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 2: to get ready to stab an officer. Nichols reared and 433 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: fired four shots. The investigation deemed the shooting to be 434 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 2: life saving justified intervention. But not until we got the 435 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 2: clips out there, not until we've got the footage, because 436 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: they're driving and narrative. There is a war going on 437 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: for your mind. Now the next two are they don't 438 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: fit perfectly, but I think they're worth mentioning. In twenty 439 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: twenty two, that's the really At the start of the 440 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: Ukraine War, we started getting all these viral videos that 441 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: purported to show real time Russian invasions, and then we 442 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 2: find out later that those videos proved to be old 443 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 2: clips from video games or prior conflicts, misleading millions of 444 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: people about the war's events and inflating the casualty claims. 445 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 2: Now it doesn't fit perfectly, but again it's that they 446 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 2: run with the videos without ever stopping and checking. Do 447 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 2: you ever do this on social media? Do you ever 448 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 2: see a video? 449 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: Now? 450 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: In addition to these that are now, you know, three four, 451 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: five years old, the other thing you have to do 452 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 2: today is you have to look at them and think 453 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: to yourself, wait a minute, is this real or is 454 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: it memoris? Is it real or is it artificial intelligence? Now, 455 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: some of the AI footage is pretty easy to recognize 456 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: because well you can see the artifacts from where they've 457 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: they've put things together, or it just doesn't look real. 458 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 3: It just looks. 459 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: Think it's too it's it's too clear, the skin's too perfect, 460 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 2: the outline almost looks like it's somebody in front of 461 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 2: a green screen. It just does not look real when 462 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 2: you look closely. How many people look closely? How many 463 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: people just look at it and go on and you know, think, oh, 464 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 2: this is horrible, this is horrible. I'm really thinking of 465 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: it on Facebook. I've just gotten to where I just well, 466 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 2: I haven't done much on Facebook anyway, but Facebook is 467 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 2: particularly bad about it. I don't care if you do it. 468 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 2: Just tell me it's artificial intelligence. Don't try to fool me. 469 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 2: Don't try to tug of my heart strings. Don't try 470 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 2: to tear it, you know, don't. Don't try to make 471 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: me outraged about something. Don't don't draw up those emotions 472 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: based on something is entirely fake. 473 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: And Michael, uh, sorry to jump in here.

Sure do. 486 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: It just looked like somebody had tied it up. So 487 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: you can put your hand through and pull it down, 488 00:31:59,160 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: go down. 489 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgotten about that one. 490 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 2: Then there is of course number twelve on my list, 491 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: so I actually have thirteen now. The LA protest misinformation. 492 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: Just from last year, we had a barrage of recycled 493 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: videos from unrelated events, including video game footage. Again, they 494 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: got shared online as live proof of Antifa violence or 495 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: police aggression, and of course that started fueling all these 496 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: conspiracies until you got beat it. They all got debunked 497 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 2: by geolocation and timestamp analysis. It's amazing to me videos 498 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: other images can eliminate, eliminate, illuminate truth, and can actually 499 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: serve as evidence. You know, you now have to if 500 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: you prefer a video in a courtroom, either the civil 501 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: or criminal trial, you're going to have to establish all 502 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 2: sorts of chain of custody. You're gonna have to verify 503 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: the authenticity of it. You're gonna to verify that did 504 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: the video footage was not edited or if it was edited, 505 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: depending on what side of the who's presenting that as 506 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 2: evidence is going to want to say, well, okay, is 507 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: there any other footage either before or after? And of 508 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: course then the judge is going to have to rule 509 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: on whether or not that's relevant or irrelevant to the 510 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 2: case before it ever gets presented to a jury. And most, 511 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say most, but a lot, a lot of 512 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 2: that discussion might go on in front of the judge 513 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: outside the hearing of a jury, because you don't really 514 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 2: want the jury to hear. Now you can object, you 515 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 2: can make your objection about, you know, is there other stuff. 516 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 2: Jury's going to hear all of that, But when it 517 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 2: comes down to maybe, you know, determine for a judge 518 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: to determine whether the parts that were left out are 519 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: relevant or not, that's probably going to be done either 520 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 2: at bench or in the in the judges quarters. You 521 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: don't want to taint the jury. But the point is 522 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 2: pretty simple. Video and other images truly can illuminate the 523 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 2: truth and serve as evidence even in a courtroom, but 524 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 2: when you don't have the full context, they're often just 525 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: the opening act in a much longer, more complicated drama, 526 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 2: and that drama often is presented to you as well, 527 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 2: this is the way it is, this is really what happened. 528 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: That's why I say there is a war for your mind, 529 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 2: because the quicker, the earlier, and the more forceful they 530 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,919 Speaker 2: can get that narrative planted in your brain, the more 531 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 2: likely it is to stick. There are narratives about me 532 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 2: that are entirely false. I just don't give a rap 533 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 2: fast anymore, because there are some people that, despite whatever 534 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 2: empirical evidence I can provide them that counters whatever narrative 535 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: they may believe, it doesn't make any difference to them 536 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 2: because they want the narrative. They want to believe what 537 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 2: they've been told. And if they've been told what they've 538 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 2: been told about me or anything else by NBC, CBS 539 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 2: or ABC or Time magazine or anything else, they want 540 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: to believe it because it fits what they want to believe. 541 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: George Bush and Michael Brown tried to kill black people. 542 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 2: We tried to drown black people in New Orleans. Yeah, 543 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: it gets that absurd. So the next time you sit 544 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 2: down and you're on social media, or you sit down 545 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 2: to watch the evening news or the cables, remember that 546 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 2: war for your mind and remember to question everything
