1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Tutor Dixon Podcast in the Clay 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: and Buck podcast Network. Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: I'm Tutor Dixon, and I'm so glad you're joining me today. 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: We're gonna today take a slightly different approach to this 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: episode and chat about crime. I know that's not exactly 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: like the most enticing topic, but in the aftermath of 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: this defund the police movement, I was thinking about Jason 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: Alden as we saw what happened with his latest video. 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, and truth be told, 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm not really a country music fan. I don't dislike 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: country music, So don't freak out about that, because I 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: know people say that and then people just get so 13 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: emotional about it. I just really have never gotten into it. 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: Like personally, for me, country music I always thought was 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: sort of like I lost my girl. I've sitting around 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: in my truck, got just nothing but my dog in 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: a bottle whiskey. But now there's more to be concerned. 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: I think like when I was young, that was really 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: the biggest issues people had to face, was breaking up 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: and being sad, and we could focus on that in 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: country music songs, but now Jason Aldine has taken it 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: to the next level. So he put out this song 23 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: called try That in a Small Town. And this song 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: came out, It was came out in May, and nobody 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: really said anything. And then he came out with the 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: video just last week, and the video made people go 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: crazy because the video was showing images from twenty twenty, 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, when we had all of these riots and 29 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: the crime, and people said, you know, he's highlighting crime. 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: And then he was in front of some courthouse where 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: people said, okay, now he was in front of this courthouse, 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: and so this is a pro lynching video. This is 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: some courthouse in the South that had somebody was lynched 34 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: in years and years ago. And so they somehow, some 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: researcher must have taken a long time to say, I'm 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: connecting this. This guy is a bad guy. Now, Jason 37 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: has been outspoken about his politics. When you're outspoken about 38 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: your politics as an artist, then people come after you. 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: But obviously people sing songs for all different reasons. Jason 40 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: thought this was important because, I mean, even if you 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: just look at the national crime rate from twenty nineteen 42 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, it rose nearly twenty nine percent. So 43 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: he sings about this, right, So he puts this song together. 44 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: I mean, some of the lyrics are I'll just read 45 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: them to you. I'm not a singer, so I'm not 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: obviously not a country singer, as we just talked about, 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: So I'll just read some of them to you. Sucker 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: punch someone on a sidewalk, carjack an old lady at 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: a red light, pull a gun on the owner of 50 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: a liquor store. You think it's cool, Well, act a 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: fool if you like, cuss out a cops, bit in 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: his face, stump in the flag, light it up. Yeah, 53 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: you think you're tough. Okay. So that's obviously a lot 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: of the stuff that we've been seeing with this crime 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: across the country. I mean, it's not just twenty twenty, 56 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: to be honest. We're seeing this everywhere. We're seeing this 57 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: in la We're seeing this in New York, We're seeing 58 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: this in Michigan in multiple cities. So we have folks 59 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: that are saying this isn't right. We're pushing back on this. 60 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: This is what's happening in this song. Then he's got 61 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: this warning in this song. It's like, don't try this 62 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: in a small town. They we'll see how far you 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: make it down the road. So people didn't really like that. 64 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: They got a little mad. They're like, what is this 65 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: some sort of a threat. This is a bad guy. 66 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: We can't have him out there singing now. He's like 67 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: this victim of the attempt of cancel culture. This was 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: like immediate backlash as soon as this music video came out. 69 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: We've got to get rid of him. Now. He's really 70 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: well liked in the country scene and really the conservative 71 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: scene in general. So it's been interesting to see the 72 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: song's been rising, but there's been a lot of people 73 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: talking about it. The thing that I think we haven't 74 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: talked about is the hypocrisy. So I was gonna sing 75 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: you a few rap songs because I was like, oh, 76 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: compare it, right. I can't do that because the lyrics 77 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: are so bad. I can't say them, and I can't 78 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: say them mostly because I'm and just to be honest, like, 79 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: I cannot say words that are in these rap songs 80 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: because I would never be I would be off the planet, right, 81 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: They are so bad, but no one says anything about 82 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: that because it's allowed. And then so I started like 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: going through a history of songs and I'm like, you know, 84 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: Eminem came out with the song. We kind of followed 85 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: Eminem's story. I don't know if you all did this, 86 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: probably not, but I'm a nineties kid, so I followed 87 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: the Eminem story, and I followed Eminem and Kim, his 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: ex wife, who had a tumultuous relationship if we're being honest. Okay, 89 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: it was rough, and he sang about it. He was 90 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: not shy about his relationship with Kim. At one point 91 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: he's sang about he wanted to tire to the bed 92 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: and set the house on fire. I mean that's pretty violent. 93 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: But Eminem, I mean, everybody's like, hey, well the real 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: slim shady play stand up. I mean, they still loved him, right, 95 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: So he didn't get canceled for that. I think he 96 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: did say Liz Cheney didn't like it, So maybe that was, 97 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, politically not so good even way back. So 98 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: we go back to the nineties Rage Against the Machine 99 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Rage Against the Machine came 100 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: out with a politically charged song. But it's interesting. So 101 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: Rage against the Machine had a song that was similar 102 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: to this one. I mean not not in lyrics, but 103 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: because it was about the riots of Rodney King. So 104 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: they were saying, you know, we're not going to stand 105 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: for this, and it was called killing in the Name 106 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: of and the lyrics were pretty much just saying over 107 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: and over again, FU, I won't do what you tell me. 108 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: I actually thought about this song a lot in twenty 109 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: twenty because I felt like, where are all the artists 110 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: who are saying I won't do what you tell me? 111 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: But they were all saying do what the government tells you. 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: So it's a little bit of a change from nineteen 113 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: ninety two to today, But none of those people got canceled. 114 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: I think there's always pushback, but now the pushback is 115 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: just like so strong, and people are so aggravated when 116 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: they hear something they don't like. The interesting thing to 117 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: me about Jason's song is that it's talking about something 118 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: that happened in twenty twenty and the crime that resulted 119 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: in these riots, and how this crime is just not okay. 120 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: And I think we've all talked about in recent years, 121 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: the rise in crime. It's been insane. We've looked at 122 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: what happened since these riots, and let's just take a 123 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: journey down memory lane. Since he does it in the song, 124 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: but if you really break it out Minneapolis. So we 125 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: obviously had the tragedy with George Floyd, we had the 126 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: riots in Minneapolis. People were upset because a lot of 127 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: this video includes some of the video from Minneapolis. But 128 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: just so you understand, Minneapolis suffered five hundred million dollars 129 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: in damages. Yeah, five hundred million, so half a billion. 130 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: You know, this is not happening in like city buildings, 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: it's not getting replaced. This is happening in low income 132 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: minority communities. So these people, those businesses were destroyed. I 133 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: think you remember the videos of people standing outside of 134 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: their businesses just like hysterically crying, how can this happen? 135 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: I can't rebuild this. This is my life savings. And 136 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: yet you've got these yahoo's in the Democrat Party that 137 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: are like, stay out there. I believe one of them 138 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: is named Let me think Kamala Harris, who was telling 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: people to stay out, stay in the streets, keep doing this. 140 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: In fact, we'll pay your legal fees. She really did. 141 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: She was like, donate to these people so they can 142 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: continue destroying people's livelihoods. And that really was what they 143 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: were doing. They're out in the streets, they're burning people's 144 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: buildings down. But people are getting hurt, people are getting assaulted, 145 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: there were some deaths. This is not talked about. And 146 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: the funny thing is that in this political climate today, 147 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: we hear all these stories about, you know, people getting 148 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: mad politically, but we are like not allowed to talk 149 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: about the twenty twenty riots. And they were really significant. 150 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: This all this five hundred million in damages. It happened 151 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: really in life, five days time, five days time. And 152 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: so we're looking at this and we're like, wow, what 153 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: are the politicians going to do? And the answer at 154 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: that point was you see these leftists jump out and 155 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, clearly we must get rid of the police. 156 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: We're all like, we why is that? Whoa why is 157 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: that the answer? But that's their answer. In fact, we 158 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: can never forget when then first term Congresswoman il Han 159 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: Omar came out to Minneapolis and she said this quote, 160 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: the Minneapolis Police Department is rotten to the route, and 161 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: so when we dismantle it, we get rid of that 162 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: cancer and we allow for something beautiful to rise. And 163 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: that reimagining allows us to figure out what public safety 164 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: looks like for us. Well after they defunded the police. 165 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: Public safety looked pretty rough, and people were like, this 166 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: is terrible. We can't even go to our parks. The 167 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: parks are filled with needles, the kids can't play. I mean, 168 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: it started to get really bad. People couldn't drive down 169 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: the streets. And I don't know if you've noticed, but 170 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: you have not seen a lot of congresswomen Omar coming 171 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: out and saying, yeah, the police are awful. We've just 172 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: we've got to continue to double down on this. You 173 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: hear the other one saying that she hasn't said that 174 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: so much. You know why five hundred million dollars in 175 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: damages and then no police to come out and save 176 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: people not really a good look for her. So she 177 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: sort of quietly stepped away from that stance on the police. 178 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: But for a while Minneapolis had defunded the police. They 179 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: have now refunded the police and quietly refunded the police again. 180 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: They don't really talk about that, but they were like, shoot, 181 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: I guess that really does help. I guess that is 182 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: one of the fundamentals of government to provide law and order. 183 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: How funny. Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue 184 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: next on the Tutor Dixon podcast. We don't want to 185 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: just talk about Minneapolis, though, because if you look at 186 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty and what Jason was highlighting in his music video, 187 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: there was really a lot of destruction across the country. 188 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: We saw things in Portland, we saw things in Chicago. 189 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: We saw the Chop Zone, just a reminder of the 190 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Chop Zone in Seattle in case you forgot. It changed names, 191 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: so Chop was referring to the Capitol Hill occupied protest 192 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: and then it became the Chaz Zone. So I mean, 193 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: early on you could see there were some disagreements on 194 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: how to operate the Chop Zone because then they changed 195 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: to the Chaz Zone, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Clearly, 196 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: the leadership there was a little wacky. Obviously a big 197 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: problem because they just took over the city. The crazy 198 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: part about this is like we're all watching from the 199 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: Midwest and we're like, what do you mean? They just 200 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: like took a section a section of the city is 201 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: just theirs now, and then what does that mean? So 202 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: that meant about six city blocks were taken over by 203 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: people who were like, we're going to protest here, and 204 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: this is going to be a place where you don't 205 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: have to have food. You were going to have gardens 206 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: in six blocks of city space. There would be gardens, 207 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: and people would grow gardens. Everybody was going to camp 208 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: and it was going to be like this utopia. And 209 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: so we got a really good look into what the 210 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: leftist utopia is and it's a total nightmare. But first, 211 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: before we got the look into the nightmares, like the 212 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: beginning of this, Donald Trump as president, he makes some 213 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: comment like, Okay, we need to go in there and 214 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: be dominant and take this back, because you can't just 215 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: like form your own country and government within a city. 216 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: And that's essentially what they said. They're like, look, we're 217 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: no longer the United States of America. This zone, it's 218 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: our own space. Don't come in here. Your laws mean 219 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: nothing here. This is our area. And they're like, oh, 220 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, what does the mayor think about this? And 221 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: mar goes on CNN and she's like, you know, I 222 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: think there's a really good chance we're gonna have the 223 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: Summer of Love. And everybody's like the Summer of love. 224 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: She's declared the Summer of love. It turned out not 225 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: so much to be the Summer of love. But she 226 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: says these protests are protests fundamentally about a policing system 227 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: that has tried to dominate Black Americans through the history 228 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: of our country. You don't meet those protests with domination. 229 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: You meet them with listening and with change. Okay, I mean, 230 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: I get it. She wanted to make sure that these 231 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: people were heard. The sad thing about it was they 232 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: didn't actually want her to come in and chat with them. 233 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: They didn't want anybody to come in and chat with them. 234 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: So it got completely out of control. In fact, because 235 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: it was the Summer of Love. You were supposed to 236 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: share all your stuff, and people were in there and 237 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: they're like, you know, it's all different types of people. 238 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: So you've got people with their Apple laptops and their 239 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: iPads and they're in their little camping area and the 240 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: six blocks that they've taken over that is no longer 241 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: the United States of America. This is the Chaz Zone. 242 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: So in the Chats Zone, they have their piece of 243 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: property that they don't of course own, because everybody shares everything. 244 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: And then people started to steal other people's stuff, and 245 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: the leaders of the Chas Zone were like, obviously they 246 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: needed it. Why would you be mad you didn't need 247 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: an iPad as bad as they did. Because they took 248 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: it from you, they must have needed it. And people 249 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: are like, well, wait a minute, I'm not one hundred 250 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: percent sure I'm on board with that. And the leaders 251 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: are like, sucks for you. This is where how we 252 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: live now. So this is how the utopia starts. Right, 253 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, crap, I don't know, but I've committed now. 254 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: Because I'm in the six blocks, you can't really get out. 255 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: Some people start to get a little feisty because all 256 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden it gets ugly. Then it's dark, it 257 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: gets to be night. Women start to be sexually assaulted. 258 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: They can't tell anyone because the police are not allowed in. 259 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: So it gets very ugly, very fast. I mean this zone. 260 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: I think the zone is started on like June eighth, 261 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: and then finally the mayor on July first is like, yeah, 262 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: we're going to have to stop this because it gets 263 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: really violent. People's stuff is being stolen, they're being raped, 264 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: they're being assaulted, they're being abused, and then they start 265 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: to murder people and it gets really ugly. We've got 266 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: four people that get shot in the Chaz Zone. Two 267 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: of them die. They're teenagers, one young man who's nineteen. 268 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: His name is Horace Lorenzo Anderson. His family forever changed, 269 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: lost their son. I mean, it's devastating. His dad goes 270 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: out and his dad the sun is named after him, 271 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: I think, if I remember correctly, this is his only child. 272 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: And he's so I mean, obviously devastated. He's like, how 273 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: can this be? How can we have a place in 274 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: the United States of America that is shut off from 275 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: the rest of society. The police can't come into. And 276 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: so the reason that his son, his namesake son, dies 277 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: is not really just because he's shot. He's shot by 278 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: a man named Marcel Long I think, also a teenager. 279 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: This man shoots him. But the problem is that he 280 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: dies of his injuries the next day because he couldn't 281 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: get medical treatment immediately because he's in the chats zone. 282 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: And this is like, you know, not the United States 283 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: of America, screw your police, We're not going to have 284 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: medical treatment come in. And he sits there trying to 285 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: get out. He doesn't get out in time. By the 286 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: time they finally get him to the hospital, he ends 287 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: up dying. His family is devastating. But you've got Yahoo's like, 288 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: what's that woman's name again? Oh yeah, our vice president 289 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, who's like, keep this stuff going, stay in 290 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: the streets. We're going to pay for all of your 291 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: any type of legal defenses that you need, we will 292 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: take care of. Wait a minute, these are young black 293 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: men who are dying because you're out there saying stay 294 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: in the streets. How is this benefiting George Floyd's family, 295 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: How is this benefiting our minority communities, How is this 296 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: stopping any of this clashing with the police, other than 297 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: you have absolutely no safety anymore. So it takes an 298 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: entire year to find this guy and charge him. The 299 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: guy that shoots him, Marcel Long, who shoots Anderson, takes 300 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: an entire year to find him. Just last month, this 301 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: guy is sentenced. He killed a young man. He's sentenced 302 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: to fourteen years. How much will he serve? Who knows 303 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: will he be back on the streets soon. Probably. It's 304 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: a soft on crime society. It's a total nightmare that 305 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: we're facing right now. And you don't even know when 306 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: these guys are let out on the street, that they've 307 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: been let out on the street. I mean, how many 308 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: stories in just the let last couple of years have 309 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: we heard, Well, this guy was let out early especially 310 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: during COVID. Don't forget when Gavin Newsom just emptied the jails. 311 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: All these people, Well we let them out because you know, 312 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: we didn't want them to get COVID. Wait a minute, 313 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: they murdered someone, I know, but I mean what if 314 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: they died of COVID. Yeah, then they come out and 315 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: they murder other people and we're all like, how did 316 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: that happen? We let them out so they didn't get sick. 317 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 1: These were people who should have been in jail. And 318 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: that's the hard fact. There are just some people that 319 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: actually belong in jail. It's true. So the soft on 320 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: crime community thing, it's just not working. And I would 321 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: actually say that every Republican out there forget about all 322 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: of these issues they are running around your mind all 323 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: the time. Focus on crime. You should be running. Every 324 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: Republican out there should be running on crime. I mean 325 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: the fact that we had one year where crime rose 326 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: almost thirty percent. This is in We've got a crime 327 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: problem across this entire country. We've got rug prosecutors in 328 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: states across the country who are like, you know what, 329 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: we're going to let these people out because it's racist. 330 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: It's all kinds of different things if we actually enforce 331 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: the law. It's funny to me because we've got Democrats 332 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: today who are like, we're running on gun laws. Why 333 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: are you running on gun laws? If you're like, but 334 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: don't enforce them, We're going to run on increasing gun laws. 335 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: We're not going to enforce them. I say that because 336 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: we've got this problem in Michigan. I mean a really 337 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: serious problem in Michigan. We've got an outrageous number of 338 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: sexual assaults in the state, violence, carjackings. I could go on. 339 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: There's just a million things happening. Michigan's actually home to 340 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: three of the most violent cities in America. Of the 341 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: twenty most violent cities in America, I mean, think about that. 342 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: You probably don't. If you're outside of Michigan, you probably 343 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: don't think about Michigan and not often three of the 344 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: twenty most violent cities in America. People are like, Oh, 345 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: Michigan's really turning blue. You've got a really almost a 346 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: dark blue state. Now look at it. I mean, this 347 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: is what soft on crime creates. A state where people 348 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: are leaving in droves. Businesses are not coming here because 349 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: businesses that's one thing that they look at. If you're 350 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: thinking of running for office, understand that if you want 351 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: to bring businesses into your community, one of the things 352 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: they're going to look at is your crime rate, and 353 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: they're going to go do I want to have employees 354 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: that are put in a situation where they can't take 355 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: their kids to the local park, Or do I want 356 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: to be in a community where not only are they safe, 357 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: but you have an infrastructure you can build buildings. Well, 358 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: that's not happening in states like Michigan because we've got 359 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: these soft on crime democrats. I mean, the prosecutors are 360 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: one thing, but they've got support from the governor, from 361 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: the attorney general and it is devastating, but you know 362 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: they'll all come out when something happens that they actually 363 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: feel because think about it, we've got these three most 364 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: violent cities. There's crime happening every day. There's murders, there's rapes, 365 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: there's shootings. They're all happening every day. In fact, there's 366 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: some crime that's involving a gun in Michigan every day. 367 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: But you really don't hear the Democrats talk about it 368 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: unless that actually affects them. And quite frankly, they don't 369 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: talk about it unless it actually affects white people because 370 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: there are no congressional we don't have in the congressional 371 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: delegation for Democrats, there's not a single black person. So 372 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: they say that this is their care, but they don't care. 373 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: They clearly don't care. So let's go to the Michigan 374 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: State shooting. You probably remember recently Michigan State University had 375 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: a shooting Anthony McRae. He shot eight people. He killed three, 376 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: he injured five. Walked onto the campus. No one expected him. 377 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: He wasn't a student. We don't have any motive for 378 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: his murders. We have no idea why he did this. 379 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: But what we do know is that it could have 380 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: been prevented. So if the Ingham County prosecutor had charged 381 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: him with a felony in twenty nineteen, he wouldn't have 382 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: been able to buy a gun. So let's go back 383 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: in the time machine, because you see here McRae was 384 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: arrested in twenty nineteen. He was charged for carrying a 385 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 1: concealed weapon without a permit in Michigan. This is a 386 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: felony in the state of Michigan. A felon cannot own 387 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: a gun, cannot purchase a gun, cannot sell a gun. 388 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: You can't have a weapon. You can't have a gun 389 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: at all. Had that been the charge, mcray wouldn't have 390 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: been able to purchase that gun. And it's key because 391 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: even the way the police found him with this gun, 392 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: He's like on a bike, it's late at night, he's 393 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: in an area where there's been a lot of robberies lately. 394 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: The police find him, they say, hey, we're not comfortable 395 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: with you coming around here. Do you have a weapon 396 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,239 Speaker 1: on you? He says, yeah, I'm carrying a weapon. Do 397 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: you have a concealed carry? No? I don't. So this 398 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: is a felony. I mean, the whole situation should be 399 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: handled very seriously. But again, this Ingham County prosecutor is 400 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: on record saying she doesn't really want to give people 401 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: felonies because she thinks that's racist. So he ends up 402 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: with a misdemeanor. He pleads guilty to a misdemeanor for 403 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: possession of a loaded firearm, spends a year and a 404 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: half on probation, ends up being able to buy a gun. 405 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: Police get called out to his house several times now, 406 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: we've been told by the neighbors. Police came to his 407 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: house several times. He was shooting out the back door. 408 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: They were really concerned about it, kind of an obsession 409 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: with guns. Since then, we've got like every story's shut down. 410 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: The news is like, yeah, we heard this, and they're like, nah, 411 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: the police, the authorities, we don't really remember that this 412 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: is It was pretty clear from his neighbors. Yeah, this 413 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: was the problem. Everybody felt uncomfortable a guy to definitely 414 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: watch a guy that had we used the existing laws 415 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: to give him the conviction that he should have had 416 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: that he deserved, three people would be alive, five people 417 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: would not have been shot, eight families would not be 418 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: changed forever, the entire school would not be changed forever. 419 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: But we have people that love the idea of being 420 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: soft on crime. So again you go back to Jason 421 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: el Deane's video, who's saying look at this, I mean, 422 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: he is holding a mirror up to America saying this 423 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: is what you've accepted. This is what you say is okay, 424 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: this is what democrats are saying, keep doing it. We'll 425 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: pay your legal fees. And everybody's like, what a jerk, 426 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: We've got to cancel him. I mean, sometimes it is 427 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: hard to look in the mirror in the Bible in 428 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: church we call that conviction. If you look at something, 429 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: you're like, this is wrong. We shouldn't be doing this. 430 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: We owe it to people to take care of them, 431 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: but we're not doing it. Let's take a quick commercial break. 432 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: We'll continue next on the Tutor Dixon Podcast. So I 433 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: would say that when I see these people come up 434 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: against Jason and say this song is really bad, Well, 435 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: this is a case of those people being convicted of 436 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: maybe we should really be taking care of the people. 437 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: Maybe we should be focused on this crime issue. Again, 438 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: I say, Republicans, if you're out there, if you're running, 439 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: talk about it. It's important. You know what else wouldn't 440 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: have happened if we had talked about this, if we 441 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: were enforcing our laws. Just a couple weeks ago, they 442 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: found the body of a two year old in Detroit. 443 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: She was taken from her mother's home in Lancing. Her 444 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: name is Winter Cole Smith. And anyone want to give 445 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: you the name of the guy, bad guy, he doesn't 446 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: deserve to be named, repeatedly abused this baby's mother. He 447 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: actually abused her, and I believe Steven stabbed her the 448 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: day he took the baby. Took the baby, they looked 449 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: all over for her, couldn't find her. When the police 450 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: finally found him, they asked him where's the baby, and 451 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: his response was the baby's at home with her mom. 452 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: You know what actually happened to the baby, And it's 453 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: really hard to listen to this. He strangled the baby 454 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: with a cell phone cord and killed her. This guy 455 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: who had multiple run ins with the law. I mean, 456 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: I can just go through his arrest record. He was 457 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: arrested in twenty one for domestic violence, resisting arrest, assaulting, 458 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: obstructing a police officer, all of these things. Really bad guy, 459 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: continuous run ins. In August twenty one, charged again with assault, 460 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: obstructing a police officer over and over again. This guy 461 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: who's supposed to be on probation through January of twenty 462 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: twenty four. He's just overall a really bad guy. He's 463 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: abused people, he's he has all of these felonies, but 464 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: really they've been soft on him. They've let him out. 465 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: He's a guy that should have been in prison. They 466 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: let him out. And now Winter Cole Smith is gone, 467 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: a two year old baby is gone. Guess where this 468 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: two year old baby was from Ingham County. So this dude, 469 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: this really bad dude who're not going to name because 470 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: he sucks. He also was in a situation where he 471 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: was touched by this prosecutor in Ingham County, but not 472 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: put in jail. There are certain people that don't deserve 473 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: to be out on the streets. And when you hear 474 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: that they were out on the streets and you've got 475 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: a two year old baby that's no longer with us 476 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: because he's sick enough to strangle her with a pink 477 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: cell phone court, I mean, I think that's even the 478 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: worst part. It's like, here you have this sweet, innocent 479 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: color and you're using it to take someone's life after 480 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: you stab her mother, abuse her mother, assault her mother. 481 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: This soft on crime attitude is incredibly dangerous to the 482 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: United States of America. Again, thank you to Jason Aldine. 483 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: I think it's amazing that he was able to go 484 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: out there and say, you know what, I'm going to 485 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,239 Speaker 1: use my platform. I'm going to use the fact that 486 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: I can stand up in front of this entire country 487 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: and have a message that maybe makes a few people 488 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: uncomfortable about look in the mirror, see where we are today, 489 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: and do something about it. So if you're running, you 490 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: know what, I'm just going to throw it out there. 491 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: If you're running as a Republican or a Democrat, tell 492 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: us you're going to do something about crime. Tell us 493 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: you care about the police officers that put their lives 494 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: on the line every day.
