Though it sounded 178 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: like he was being serious about the every drive. 179 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah he was. 180 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, it didn't seem as though anybody was taking it 181 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 4: terribly seriously. The NFL trying to get the smelling salts 182 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: out of the game, as they're called anyway, uh, and 183 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 4: players are not thrilled. The union quickly pushed back. The 184 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 4: NFL said they're banned from giving smelling salts, which are 185 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 4: pungent packets of ammonia and other chemicals, to players before, during, 186 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 4: or after games, both on the sideline in in the 187 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 4: locker room. The league's concerns include there are smelling salts 188 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 4: quote unquote ability to mask certain neurological symptoms such as concussion. 189 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: Of course. 190 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, the breaking news headline that just occurred is they're 191 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: going to allow it on game days. 192 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: You can. 193 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: Game days are okay, but no, nothing else is the 194 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: current deal with the union. So uh, but you can't 195 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: be doing it in practice all the time. Sounds like 196 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: it is on the way right.

You know, we've all seen it on television. 203 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: If you watch a NFL game, somebody gets hit really hard, 204 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: they're laying there staring white eyed. They come out there, 205 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: gave him the smelling sauce. He'll be back in there. 206 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: He's just kind of weird. You just got knocked conscious practically, 207 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: and you get you put something under your nose to 208 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: get your brain allow you run back out there. 209 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 2: But they do it in practice all week long.

Mmm. We 230 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: need to check in on some of the big stories 231 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: of the day later. 232 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: We need to get to first female umpire in baseball. 233 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: This is not a sports thing. 234 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 4: Finally, Finally, what a great day for America. 235 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: Some of the jokes that were being made around it, 236 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: I am so appalled by. I'm going to read them 237 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: so you can understand. Well, we can't be appalled unless 238 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: we hear them, so you can understand how terrible people 239 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: can be. Let's all be appalled together. So we'll get 240 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: to that later this hour. I hope you can stick around. 241 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 6: Trump's new tariffs on nearly every US trading partner go 242 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 6: into effect. Experts, though, caution that Americans could face higher 243 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 6: prices on everything from electronics and toys to clothing and furniture. 244 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 6: By one estimate, it could cost the average American household 245 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 6: twenty four hundred. 246 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 2: Dollars a year. 247 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: Man, there's some serious guessing going on in that story 248 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: on what tariffs are going to do. They're all kicking 249 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: in today, and so Scott Bessant, representing Trump's point of view, 250 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: was on Morning Joe Today explaining to Joe Scarborough how 251 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: the whole reset of global trade is going to work 252 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: out for us. 253 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 7: All this is probably the most significant trade reset on 254 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 7: the global stage. 255 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: Since nineteen thirty five. 256 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 4: What do you and the President hope to achieve by 257 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 4: jacking jacking tariffs up on an average seventeen percent per nation? 258 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 7: Well, Joe, first of all, I don't think it's the 259 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 7: most The big trade reset since nineteen thirty five were 260 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 7: the biggest trade reset was the China shock, and we 261 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 7: are just responding to the China shock from the early 262 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 7: two thousands. So we are trying to rebalance trade in America. 263 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 2: That's favor President Trump. 264 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 7: Has said, and I've said, we want to bring back 265 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 7: the high precision manufacturing jobs. We want to get rid 266 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 7: of these big deficits that we have with countries that 267 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 7: have created these big surpluses and the gutted our manufacturing 268 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 7: base and have been terrible for American workers. 269 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: I just had a thought, and I don't know if 270 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: it's true at all, or maybe even just partially true, 271 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: but as he was just talking about, well, the world 272 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: changed with China, reach China here in the last decade 273 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: or two. If it's mostly about that and doing all 274 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: of these other countries, which he kind of wanted to 275 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: do anyway, but that helps water down it doesn't look. 276 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: Like an attack on China as much. 277 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: Is there any chance that three dimensional chess is going on, 278 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: because if it was only China, that would put us 279 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: at much more of a mean. 280 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,239 Speaker 2: Point of conflict. 281 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a hell of a lot of trouble to 282 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 4: go to to you know, achieve that goal. 283 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. It's just a side benefit. Yeah. Yeah. 284 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 4: It's worth noting that the global automakers have said, all right, 285 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 4: here's the hit to our bottom line so far from 286 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 4: tariffs Toyota, it's just over three billion dollars, VW FOURIGN 287 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 4: Company one and a half billion dollars, then oh GM 288 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 4: one point two billion dollars, Ford one billion dollars. Then 289 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 4: you get into Honda BMW, but like Ford, much bigger 290 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: hit than BMW or Kier, Mazda or Nissan or Mercedes 291 00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 4: or any of those. 292 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: You know, back to the whole. 293 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: There's a lot of truth in what Scott Besant said 294 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: it would take a long time to seize it all out. 295 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 4: But the idea that these tariffs are going to onshore 296 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 4: are manufacturing again, it's not going to work. The tariffs 297 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 4: would have to be much higher for a long time. 298 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 4: There would have to be a huge disruption to the 299 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 4: economy for years to make it worth it for all 300 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 4: of these companies to invest the enormous amount of money 301 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 4: and time it would take to onshore their manufacturing operations. 302 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: It is not a quick process. I just don't think 303 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: it's realistic. And whoever's next president could call it all. 304 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 4: Off, yeah, or half of it even, and then it's 305 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 4: never going to happen. You'd be taking to take very 306 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 4: high tariffs to move a lot of manufacturing back to. 307 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: The US should be taking a heck of a flyer. 308 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: If you're GM or Apple or whoever you need, decide, Okay, 309 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: we'll build a multi billion dollar plant in the United States, 310 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: assuming this is the way we're going forward, that'd be 311 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: a heck of a risky thing to do. 312 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty. 313 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: Lots of good stuff to come. Somebody just sent me 314 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 1: this text and I thought, is amazing, just the seeing 315 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: this in text form almost made me crazy.

Yeah, okay, fair enough. 343 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 4: So the absolutely infamous yet undercovered beating down of a 344 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 4: man and a woman in Cincinnati. It was a gang 345 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 4: of black people beating down white people. And to state 346 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 4: the suffocatingly obvious, if the roles were reversed racially speaking, 347 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 4: it would be the only story anybody was talking about 348 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 4: in the media, in government, whatever. But no, because it 349 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 4: doesn't reinforce the progressive narrative. It's not that important. But 350 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 4: one of the female victim of the horrific beating, whose 351 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 4: name is Holly, the last name unpublished thus far is, 352 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 4: had appeared at press conference the other day looking battered 353 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 4: but recovering. 354 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: That video is hard to take. 355 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 4: It is very, very hard to take the viciousness of 356 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 4: some people people in quotes. Anyway, here's what she had 357 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 4: to say, and then a kind of sideline story. Go ahead, Michael, 358 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 4: We'll start with Adie first and foremost. 359 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 5: I just want to say that I don't want to 360 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 5: relive what happened to me. You know, eight or nine 361 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 5: days ago. I'm here to talk about the future and 362 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 5: how we can change it, how we can prevent this 363 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 5: from happening to anybody else. These heinous crimes have to stop, 364 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 5: you know, I never want this to happen to anyone else, 365 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 5: especially a mother, a daughter, somebody who is loved. So 366 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 5: I just know what it's done to my family, not 367 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 5: just to me. 368 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 2: So roll on, Oh sorry, go ahead. Is there any background? 369 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: Those of us who have not been following this much 370 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: need to know about how this started. Not really were they? 371 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: Were they provoking anybody in any way? Not that that 372 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, uh should lead to be being beaten nearly 373 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: to death generally, but. 374 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: It's kicked near to death by a crowd. 375 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: No, okay. 376 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 5: And I think that moving forward, we do need more accountability, 377 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 5: and I definitely think that, you know, we need more 378 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 5: police officers. But like he said, you know, the judges 379 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 5: who are just letting people out with the slab. 380 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: Go on. 381 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 5: The man who attacked me and might have permanently damaged 382 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 5: me forever should never have been on the streets ever. 383 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 5: And the fact that he had just gotten out of 384 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 5: jail previously for something he should have been in there 385 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 5: for years. It's really sad to me because I can't 386 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 5: even fathom how many other people who have been attacked 387 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 5: by the same type of man over and over and over. 388 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 1: Have we stated the racial situation on this, Yeah, clearly 389 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: enough that you understand what's going on. If this were 390 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: as we've said ten times, but if this were the reverse, 391 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: it would be the only story in the country, the 392 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: only story in the country, right, And and is that 393 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: why it's getting no coverage? 394 00:21:59,640 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: Yes? 395 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well, and it's worse than just not fitting 396 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 4: the narrative it is. 397 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: It's the sort of thing that. 398 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 4: Might reinforce some unfortunate feelings or stereotypes, might embold and 399 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: white supremacists or something like that. So yeah, the mainstream 400 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 4: media won't go anywhere near the story, which is just 401 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 4: it's a testament. It's a conviction of them for their cowardice, 402 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 4: their dishonesty, and their biased Next clip. 403 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 5: And Toledo and Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, our streets are being 404 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 5: taken over and nobody is doing anything. I am so 405 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 5: sad and I need to be the voice to help 406 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 5: all of the victims that never got their justice. 407 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: That big guy who sucker punches are from behind and 408 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: could have killed or should be in jail for the 409 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: rest of his life. 410 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. 411 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 4: Anybody who can do that is gone, is morally unsalvageable. 412 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 4: If in twenty years he's organized a prayer group and 413 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 4: apologized to everybody and blah bah oh, I'm willing to 414 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 4: talk about it, but put them in jail for a 415 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 4: very long time. By the way, the Cincinnati Police chief 416 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 4: is facing mounting criticism over a number of aspects of 417 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 4: policing in Cincinnati, and she's actually being sued by a 418 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 4: bunch of officers. 419 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 2: Of course it's a woman, because it has to be. 420 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 4: She's a white galvo, which is wow, I don't know, Cincinnati, 421 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 4: that's not fully progressive. But anyway, the officers in the 422 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 4: suit have claimed the chief systematically overlooked them and handed 423 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 4: out promotions to minority and female lieutenants. She was allegedly 424 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 4: quote personally involved in the assignment decisions and used race 425 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 4: based quota systems to promote minorities and women at career 426 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 4: enhancing positions. Coveted preferred assignments were doled out to eighty 427 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 4: percent of minority lieutenants eighty nine percent of female lieutenants, 428 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 4: but forty four percent of white male lieutenants given the 429 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 4: assign lawsuit claimed, which is not that surprising at all. 430 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 4: It's a progressive leader of a city police force that 431 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 4: went way, way too far down the DEI road and 432 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 4: are now the citizens are paying the price. 433 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: And that that's a huge problem obviously, because I want 434 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: a meritocracy, especially when you get into the military and 435 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: police and firefighters and that sort of stuff. Just who 436 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: who's the best pick the best candidates. I don't care 437 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: what their sexual orientation, eye color, skin call, don't care. 438 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: I want the best people out there protecting me. But 439 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: I don't know how much that had to do with 440 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: this woman getting beat down. That that whole story of 441 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: we don't prosecute criminals and keep them in jail for 442 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: the length of time they should be in jail for 443 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: the crimes. 444 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 2: How do we stop that? That is horrific. 445 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 4: So the police chief Awful also said, I think it's 446 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 4: irresponsible with social me just shows one side of the 447 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 4: equation cut quite frequently without context, without factual context. So 448 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 4: she needed the near beating to death by a large 449 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 4: crowd to be placed in its proper context. 450 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: That's a very progressive thing to say. 451 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: Do they go on to say to what the proper 452 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: context is? What is there One Cincinnati councilwoman, Cincinnati Councilwoman 453 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: Victoria Parks, she wrote and replied to a video footage 454 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: to the assault they begged for that beat down. 455 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: I'm grateful for the whole story. 456 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: So do you have any information in what way they 457 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: begged for that beat down? 458 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 7: No? 459 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: I do not. I don't see how we get out 460 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: of this situation. 461 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: I guess it could happen slowly as people get fed 462 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: up enough with being attacked by somebody or robbed by 463 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: somebody that should have already been in jail, that you 464 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: pay attention to voting for district attorney in a way 465 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: that you never have in the past. 466 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a hell of a price to pay for, 467 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 4: you know, getting back to the concept of if you 468 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 4: break the law, you will be sanctioned for it, which 469 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 4: I think we had assumed was the way we were going. 470 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,719 Speaker 4: But it's one more example of how progressives have undermined 471 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 4: the very bedrocks of civilization. A man can become a 472 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: woman just by wishing it. 473 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 2: That's bizarre. I mean, that is crazy talk. 474 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 4: People only commit crimes because they've been driven to desperation 475 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 4: by a system, and so we can't punish them for that. 476 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 4: You go back five years, fifty years, three hundred years, 477 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 4: fifteen hundred years, five thousand years, and you'd be greeted 478 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 4: with what the hell are you talking about? But in 479 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 4: modern American cities, people say, oh, that's right, that's right, 480 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 4: that's combat white supremacy. I've taught about that in college, 481 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 4: and we've got to defeat these people. 482 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: And now, unfortunately, apparently a little misogyny and that we 483 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: have the first female Major League Baseball umpire and some 484 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: people online made jokes that we are going to point 485 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: out so they do not get away with these crass comments. 486 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 2: Am I safeer?
