Your congressman has been 43 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: in Congress for fourteen years and you still don't know 44 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: who he is or if he's any good, and you 45 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: don't want him to stay that long.

He's claiming that he's a journalist, so 109 00:06:50,800 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: he has constitutional protections. Those are not unlimited protections. Just 110 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: as a police officer who has the authority to carry 111 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: a gun into places where guns are prohibited in the 112 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: course of their work, does not have the right to 113 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: do so when off duty in there as a customer. 114 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: Just as an officer has the authority to end a 115 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: life under certain set of circumstances, as does every American 116 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: for that matter, But there are greater protections for officers 117 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: who doesn't mean they can just shoot and kill somebody. 118 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: When they do, they say, I'm a cop.

We have 120 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: reached this state of affairs in this country in much 121 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: the same manner that I see parents with young children 122 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: who they do not but discipline. I remember when my 123 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: kids were quite young, preschool, elementary, and I remember the 124 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: other parents would say, wow, y'all are pretty strict with 125 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: your kids. We are. My parents were strict with me. Wow, 126 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: And you could tell that in the back of their 127 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: minds they were thinking those kids are going to turn 128 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: out real bad and hate their parents. Quite the opposite 129 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: people need structure, They need to know their limits. I'll 130 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: bet you there are thousands of people listening to our 131 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: show right now who would tell the following story. I 132 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 2: was a mess in high school. If I'm honest, I 133 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: was out of control. I was going to end up 134 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: dead at an early age from stupid decisions. I got 135 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: caught committing a crime and the judge sent me to prison, 136 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 2: or the Marine Corps. I chose the Marine Corps, and 137 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 2: that is why I am the man you see before 138 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: you today. Or they graduated high school, they were in 139 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: a lot of trouble. When their parents said you got 140 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: to do something, and they went off to serve in 141 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: the military. It gave them structure some people can't create. 142 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: Most people can't create that for themselves. We have reached 143 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: a point where these people are flailing around like the 144 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: children of millennial parents who think that you just love 145 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: a kid, just keep loving them.

Anyway, 174 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 2: Nakima has an interesting way of describing her arrest experience. 175 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 9: They use three different sets of restraints on us, as 176 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 9: if we were hardened criminals and murderers. As someone who 177 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 9: majored in African American studies, I can tell you that 178 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 9: that is the closest I ever felt the slavery in 179 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 9: my life, being shackled as if I was a slave. 180 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: Oh, you studied African American studies, of course you did. 181 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: You probably got all a's. She got a degree in 182 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: black people, which is interesting because she's a black person. 183 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: One of the great slides that decay in declining in 184 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: the Western University, the American University, I'll start there, is 185 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 2: the blank studies programs, Women's studies, queer studies, trans studies, 186 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: black studies, all of them, Mexican, American, Latina, all nonsense. 187 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with studying cultures and histories. 188 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 2: I think there's value to that. It can even be bankable. 189 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: You can learn skills, but that's not what those programs became. 190 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 2: What those programs became was dumb people teaching dumb people 191 00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: about stuff unrelated to any academic pursuit, but instead coaching 192 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: them on how to be a victim. And that's really 193 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: what it came down to, pitying black people, pitying the 194 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 2: black experience. I'll pivot for a moment. Let's talk about 195 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 2: American Indians. You got white liberals who are so worried 196 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 2: about offending the engine. Let me tell you something. Engines 197 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: were a proud warrior people, and then they stuck them 198 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: on a reservation and got them drunk all the time 199 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 2: and gave them a bunch of benefits, and they ended 200 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: up the poorest per capita group in the country. But Engines, 201 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: the only people worried about Engines is white liberals who 202 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: aren't themselves Engines. Chemo, who was arrested along with Don Lemons, 203 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: she said, they treated us like slaves. I studied African 204 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: American studies in school, and I've never felt more like 205 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: a slave then when they arrested me. I've been studying 206 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: slaves my whole life, but I never got to be one. 207 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: Now I felt like one. I know what my teachers 208 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: was teaching. That's I felt like a slave being arrested. 209 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: They shouldn't arrested me because slavery is bad. I learned 210 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: that in my program. Listen to her again. 211 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 9: They used three different sets of restraints on us, as 212 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 9: if we were hardened criminals and murderers, as someone who 213 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 9: made you. 214 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 2: She's a big girl. You know it's not my fault 215 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: that one set of handcuffs couldn't put her two hands 216 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: behind her back. They had to put one handcuff on 217 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: the left frints and then that handcuff didn't make it 218 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: all the way over to the other one because the 219 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: them hands don't touch behind her back. That's a long 220 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: chasm to close. Yeah, remember Ray Charles, Remember how he 221 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: would know he would touch them on the wrist, he'd 222 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: know how fat they were. I don't know what the 223 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: wrist equivalent of cankles is, but I think sister girl 224 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: the reason they used the various forms of restraint, and 225 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: you want to know what it is, I'll tell you. 226 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,239 Speaker 2: They used one set of handcuffs on her left hand. 227 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: The cuff went on her left hand and the right 228 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: one couldn't make it to the right hand because she's 229 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: so big around. How big was she? Well? She's so 230 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: big around that they put a cuff on the left hand, 231 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: and then the other cuff hung down, and they put 232 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: a cuff on the right hand, and they stretched them 233 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: out like an extension cord, and they put another cuff 234 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: that attached to the two loose cuffs on the other 235 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: That's how fat Big Mama was. She taught about a slave. 236 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: Kuta kind didn't have to didn't need three restraints. He 237 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: was strong and tough. Toby and the whole deal. Big 238 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: Mama talked about that they treated me like a slave. No, 239 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: they treated you like an obese lawbreaker, which, as it 240 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: turns out, you are. Play that again. 241 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 9: They used three different sets of restraints on us as 242 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 9: if we were hardened criminals and murderers.

And you know, 343 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: your kid's civilian had to do this for long periods 344 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 2: of time, and you love your kid, but man, you 345 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: feel for the victims and you're having to go through 346 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 2: and you feel horrible that you're being And there are 347 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: people who go through this and their kid. You hope 348 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: their kid will snap out of it, but frankly, you 349 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: know there's that the odds are probably not and that 350 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 2: kid has caused them torment and to lay down and 351 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: die is a relief for that parent. And nobody should 352 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: suffer a curse so awful, so wicked. And that's what 353 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 2: Nikima is to America. Nakima and people like her. No 354 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: one's ever going to make her stop the nonsense. And 355 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: so she's a person who behaves in this way because 356 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: she gets good feedback all these cameras for some personalities. 357 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: When you got all these cameras in front of you 358 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 2: and microphones, it's a very powerful thing. You have the 359 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: sense of great control because every word you're saying, they're rushing, 360 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: they are contorting their bodies in the scrum of the media. 361 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: They are contorting their bodies to get a microphone in 362 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: front of you. Grown men and women, to get a 363 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: microphone in front of you so that whatever words you 364 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: say can be shared with the world. That is, you 365 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 2: feel like royalty at that moment, especially if you're a Nikima. 366 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 2: You talk about getting respect, You're being treated like a 367 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: head of state. Whatever you're saying is so important. They're 368 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 2: running to get to you first so that they can 369 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 2: hear what you have to say and transmit it back. 370 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: You are the news. You are the super Bowl at 371 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: that moment, and nobody ever says to Nikima You're an embarrassment, 372 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: You're a joke. The things you say are stupid. Stop protesting, 373 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 2: Stop harassing people, stop terrorizing people, Go on a diet, 374 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: have some self respect. Stop saying whatever comes to your 375 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: mind that some idiot has filled you with. No one 376 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: ever says that. So what happens. Let's talk realistically. What happens. 377 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: You have more and more in n achemas, more and 378 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: more violent criminals, more and more illegal aliens, were coming here. 379 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 2: Now we're finally doing something about it. So these things 380 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: aren't going away. There are more in achemas today than 381 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: they were yesterday. And you got the white liberals now 382 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 2: who are in stronger positions of authority, fewer reasonable people 383 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: who are still principles and superintendents. It's now they are 384 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 2: rewarding their own right. They are hiring their own teachers 385 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 2: and their own people, and their own and so now 386 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 2: they are consolidating their power. So what happens to our 387 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: actual country. This is a part that doesn't get talked about. 388 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 2: A poll will tell you that this percentage of Americans 389 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: support Trump, and this percentage of Americans want him murdered, 390 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: and this percentage of American things that every American's are racist, 391 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 2: and this percentage of American is just going about their 392 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 2: lives and not worried about anything. But here's what you 393 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 2: don't notice is the people who want to burn it 394 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 2: all down and steal what you have, and they're absolutely unreasonable. 395 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 2: Those people are no longer outsiders. They're no longer people 396 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: living on the edge of town in a commune. They're 397 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: no longer people who are marginal. They're now people who 398 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 2: have been placed into positions as police chiefs, as mayors 399 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 2: as and a police chief and a mayor have a 400 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 2: lot of power. A congressman doesn't. But a police chief 401 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: of a mayor, they have real power, real power to 402 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: affect somebody. Literally. They have the power for people to 403 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 2: live and die within certain circumstances, whereas a congressman really doesn't. 404 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 2: They just they mouth off all the time. And those 405 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: people like Nakima have gone from being at an inner 406 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 2: city school that you know, you make as stand by 407 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: Me type movie about about you know, the kids are 408 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 2: getting shanked every day and things are really bad and oh, 409 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: this must be racism. But there's a great, you know, 410 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 2: principal who comes in who is going to clean this 411 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: thing up. That Nakima used to be a mother of 412 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 2: a kid at a place like that. Now Nakima is 413 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: the principal or superintendent of a major school district that 414 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 2: is a mixed race school district that is no longer 415 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 2: in the in the inner city, but now suburban because 416 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: we needed to do that. Nakima is now the head 417 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: of of the state troopers. And she is she is 418 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: the university president, and she is the media reporter, and 419 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: she is the most powerful columnist, and she is the 420 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: and so what happens, what do people do? Americans increasingly 421 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: turn away from public life. They turn away from being 422 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: around other Americans. They move out into the country, they disengage, 423 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: they turn it off. They don't go back to the 424 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: churches that were that way. They don't send their kids 425 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: to the schools that are this way. They don't send 426 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: their kids to the universities that are this way. They 427 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: don't interact, they don't mingle. And so now you've achieved 428 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: a segregation that was never expected, and a lot of 429 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 2: Americans have literally just dropped off the grid, dropped off 430 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: the system. They now operate over here. And then the 431 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 2: Chemas are the one holding their head up and marching 432 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: into city halls and standing out in front of Congress. 433 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: I mean, this is where we are, and it's a 434 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: dangerous place.
