1 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: Keep it simple. How many times have you said that? 2 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: How many times has somebody said that to you in 3 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: this lifetime? Just keep it simple, keep it simple. It's simple. 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: Keep it simple. I like simple. That's why I like me. 5 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: The truth is, though, when it comes to things like 6 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: political movements, when it comes to things like riots and protests, 7 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: sometimes it's not simple. Sometimes it's extremely complicated. Sometimes it's 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: good and bad at the same time. We look at 9 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: what we've seen for the past week. You've seen the news, 10 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: you've seen my show. You've seen all these videos I'm 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: gonna show you. Shootings, lootings, peaceful protests, You've seen it all. 12 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: You've seen it run the gamut. You've seen every race 13 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: represented at these things. And so it's easy to fall 14 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: into the trap of they're all scum, they're all Antifa, 15 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,639 Speaker 1: they're all black, they're all white. None of that stuff's true. 16 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: None of that stuff's true. If we're going to actually 17 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: attack the problem we have right now, and that's the 18 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: looting in violence, then we have to be frank about 19 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: what exactly we're looking at. The truth is, it's not simple. 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: The truth is it's complicated. There are a lot of 21 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: things going on with every single video we see. The 22 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: truth is a lot of these people are Antifa paid 23 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: organized bust in from out of town, no question about it. 24 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: A lot of these people we see run of the mill, 25 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: suburban white kids, board crappy parents who didn't teach them 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: the proper values, sitting at home, too much time on 27 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: their hands, all done, play an Xbox for the day. 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: Oh here they're having a riot in town. Screw it, 29 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: it's not my place. Let's go, hey, grab some bricks. 30 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: That's a lot of what you see. See the damn 31 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: singing stuff like that. Make sure you get make sure 32 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: you get it on Instagram. That's a lot of it. 33 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: A lot of it's black people in communities that feel 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: like they've been crushed by the system in some way. Fine, 35 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: peacefully protest all day. Love. A lot of it's black 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: gangs taking advantage of this to try to make money 37 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: by doing the same scumbag things they always do, which 38 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: is prey on the black community itself. There are a 39 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: million different groups involved in this, so it's not simple. 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: But allow us to focus really tonight on the scumbags. 41 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: That's what we're going to do. I loved what I 42 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: heard from ag Barr when he stood up and says complicated. 43 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: As I told the governors on Monday, we understand the 44 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: distinction between three different sets of actors here. The large 45 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: preponderance of those who are testing are peaceful demonstrators who 46 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: are exercising their First Amendment rights. At some demonstrations, however, 47 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: there are groups that exploit the opportunity to engage in 48 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: such crimes as looting, and finally, at some demonstrations, there 49 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: are extremist agitators who are hijacking the protests to pursue 50 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: their own separate and violent agenda. We have evidence that 51 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Antifa and other similar extremist groups, as well as actors 52 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: of a variety of different political persuasions, have been involved 53 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: in instigating and participating in the violent activity. And we 54 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: are also seeing foreign actors playing all sides to exacerbate 55 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: the violence. The Department of Justice is working to restore 56 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: order in the district of Columbia and around the nation. Yeah. 57 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: I like that. I like that a man who acknowledges 58 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: this is the problem. But let's talk about Antifa for 59 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: a moment, because Trump, of course took the Twitter and 60 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: blasted away in them right away, says the United States 61 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: of America will be designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. 62 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: They have already done that. He was right about that. 63 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: Jenna Ellis came out and said this about him. And 64 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: I think the President Trump took swept in decisive action 65 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: here by labeling the ANTIFA as a domestic trorist organization. 66 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: And you know, this now allows, as Attorney General Bill 67 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: Barr said yesterday, more of the federal resources to be 68 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: involved with the FBI Joint Terrorists and Tasks, force the 69 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: US Attorney's offices and a local and state law enforcement 70 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: to then make sure to combat these acts of violent terrorism. 71 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: Because of course you under the United States Constitution, we 72 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: have the right to protest, we have the right to speech, 73 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: with the right to petition in the government who redress 74 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: a grievances. But these acts are nothing short of terrorism. 75 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: By trying to coerce and influence government policy through violence, 76 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: that's never the appropriate action. And so for President Trump, 77 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: I think that this was a very welcome designation and 78 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: this is something that Attorney General Bill Barris said, will 79 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: certainly be enforced. Yes, all that's good. Antifa, what are they, Well, 80 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: they're anarchists. And if you've ever seen a mug shot 81 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: of Antifa. For all the things they've been arrested for, 82 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: what do they all have in common? They're all clearly losers. 83 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying that to just be insulting, although 84 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: I am trying to be insulting because screw them, but 85 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: they're all it's always the face tattoos and the hair 86 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: GUYE Green and it looks about half myth out of 87 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: his mind, you know what I'm talking about. You can 88 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: see a bunch of mug shots of Antifa and think, oh, losers, 89 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: and that's what they are. These are for whatever reason, 90 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: maybe it's drugs, maybe just born losers. These are people 91 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 1: who are the outcasts in society. They have found each 92 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: other and they have been organized by somebody, by something. 93 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: They are being organized, They are being paid. We know this. 94 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: At this point in time, we had a town Cordaline, Iowa, 95 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: who flat out caught them in a bunch of panel 96 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: vans bussing their way into town with things to damage 97 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: in Cordline. It should also be noted the citizens of 98 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: Cordeline all armed themselves. The cops stop them and said 99 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: turn around and get out. There's only trouble for you 100 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: in here. And they did. That's what ANTIFA is. You 101 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: want to designate them domestic terrorist organization? Totally fine, totally warranted. 102 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 1: They have a goal to bring down the United States 103 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: of America, and they saw these protests right away as 104 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: a golden opportunity to play off the anger. So screw 105 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: them now that said, let's not do the easy thing 106 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: and sects all the violences Antifa. I knew it. This 107 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: was only Antifa. There's certainly nobody within the black community 108 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: to see how not racist I am. That's what you 109 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: see so much of and I can't stand it. I 110 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: see it on our own side too. People. We can 111 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: have frank discussions about race. Doesn't make you a racist. 112 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: In fact, if you're unwilling to ever discuss race, I'm 113 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: a little suspicious you might be one. We can have 114 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: a discussion about it. There are plenty of black people 115 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: in these riots who are doing bad things, some of 116 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: them in honest moments like this. Let I don't tell 117 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: you I don't care about George Floyd all right, man, 118 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: we saw you at the New Balance store.

Anything to 123 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: do with the protests or what happened in Minnesota.

I kind of like 128 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: that guy. I'm sure he grew up rough. I'm not 129 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: here to make excuses for him. He's a scumbag looter. 130 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: I realized that. I like the honesty. No, I'm just 131 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: here for money. I mean, yeah, kind of about Minnesota, 132 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: but now I'm not really do you have any money 133 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: on you? I appreciate the honesty. Remember, we've got people 134 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: dying though. This is not all fun and games out here. 135 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: When we talk about Antifa, when we talk about the looters, 136 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: when we talk about the rioters, people are dying, and 137 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: Saint Louis four cops were shot, and that X cap 138 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: that we showed you the other day, seventy seven years 139 00:08:41,360 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: old shot and killed. Here. Listen to this. Yeah, that's 140 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: not a peaceful protest. That's a war zone. And I 141 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: always have to put this disclaimer. I played this for 142 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: you earlier in the week. I thought about not playing 143 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: it again now, but I do want you to see 144 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: this because we have to realize this. So this is ugly. 145 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: It's only gonna be a few seconds. This kind of 146 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: stuff is happening right now. That's happening. That's not the 147 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: only one. That's just the only one I'm gonna show you. 148 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: Say a prayer tonight for our police officers, because these 149 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: things are still going on, they will be going on 150 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. And there are guys out there, 151 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: National Guard and police putting their lives on the line. 152 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: And you know what, something else, As long as we're 153 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: on the subject, These guys have families at home. Think 154 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: what it feels like right now if you're the wife 155 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: of one of those cops kissing him goodbyes he goes 156 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: into work every day. Do you think she's having some 157 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: anxiety out there? Say a prayer for these cops families 158 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: as well. Donald Trump, to his credit, tried to let 159 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: everybody know you had better take control before it gets 160 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: out of control. What happened in the state. They were 161 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: Olympics to go over the world. They're going to the 162 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: Police department. The police were running down the street sirens 163 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: phrasing the rest of the ruling it was a camera. 164 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: And then they wiped down you probably after build a 165 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 1: new one that I've never seen anything like it.

It's because 184 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: it's New York, because it's that it gets a lot 185 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: of press, so they really spent a lot of time 186 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: on it.

Here's a New York cop 191 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: essentially saying, please Trump, hell, but NYPD is losing the 192 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: city of New York and we have no leadership in 193 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: the City of New York. Right now, from City Hall 194 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: through the brass of the NYPD, the men and women 195 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: are being impelled with rocks, bricks, couselet on fire. And 196 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: this is continuous. We have a curfete that's been implemented 197 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: to night at eight o'clock and everyone is still out 198 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: rioting in the streets of New York. If President Trump 199 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: is watching it, I am asking the President to please 200 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: please immediately send federal personnel to New York City and 201 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: monitor what is going on. If Governor Como does not 202 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: implement the National Guard immediately, then the federal government is 203 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: going to have to step in. The NYPD is more 204 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: than capable of addressing what's going on in the City 205 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: of New York, but ow our hands are being tied. 206 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: The rank and file, members of old ranks have sent 207 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: me numerous emails, letters, text messages, photos of how New 208 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: York City is being destroyed. We have no leadership coming 209 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: from city Hall. We are being told to stand down. 210 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: This is the far left version of broken Windows. That 211 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: is a horrifying, horrifying video if you actually listen to 212 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: that man's words, and it's exactly what I've been telling 213 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: you for a while.

That 220 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: is insane, and yet that's where we are. We're gonna 221 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: talk to a New York cop here in just a moment. 222 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: We got all kinds of good stuff for you tonight. 223 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: But first you need some sleep.

All right, I'll be back joining me now 239 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: as a man with a resume so long I'm going 240 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: to have to look to the side and read half 241 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: of it before I actually introduced the guy. His name 242 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: is Lieutenant Stephen Rogers. He's a retired police lieutenant, former 243 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: president of the New Jersey Police Community Relations Officer Association, 244 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: United States Navy commander, former member of the FBI National 245 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: Joint Terrorism Task Force. My words, stephen One, how often 246 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: have you heard Captain America jokes because of your name? 247 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: All the time, all the time. In fact, when I'm 248 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: on a lot of the media outlets, they say, we 249 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: are now introducing Captain America. So at one point I 250 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: decided to take a shield with me. Of course, of course, 251 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: all right, before we get into all the craziness out 252 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: there right now, which is plenty of ugliness, We're going 253 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: to talk about why a resume like that, I mean, 254 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: that is a long life of service right there. Why 255 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: is there just you an action junkie or what? No, 256 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: My father and my mother always taught us to give 257 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: back when the good Lord gives us, and I go 258 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: to my life. The best way to give whack which 259 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: to serve country. So I did become a police officer 260 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: actually right out of high school. During the Vietnam War, 261 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: I went into the Air Force, ever went to Vietnam, 262 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: but I served during that war, and then later on 263 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: in life, I joined the Navy and then got commissioned 264 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: as an officer, worked for the Officer of Naval Intelligence, 265 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: and at the same time as a police officer in 266 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: New Jersey, so I had two careers going at the 267 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: same time. The war had started, the war in Iraq, 268 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: I was mobilized and sent away for two years working 269 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: for military intelligence, and then came right back to my 270 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: job as a police officer. And the one thing you 271 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: don't have in there is I ran for the city 272 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: council and one twice. Well, I'm sorry, we probably ran 273 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: out of paper. We couldn't print the whole day. Thanks. 274 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: All right, Stephen, what are we seeing right? Well, you 275 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: know what, before I asked about the actual conditions on 276 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: the ground, we had a New York Police officer, New 277 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: York City Police officer. We played a video clip of 278 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: him saying, President Trump, send in the National Guard. We 279 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: have no leadership. We're being handicapped here. Can you speak 280 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: to the importance as a cop of leadership within your 281 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: own police department, within your city, the backing of your 282 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: mayor or having your mayor against you. Can you speak 283 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: to that? Yes? I could. It is very, very important 284 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: that the political leadership in a city stand shoulder to 285 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: shoulder with their police officers who are doing their jobs 286 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: according to law. What we saw happen in Minneapolis is 287 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: a tragedy beyond belief. It made us all sick, and 288 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: those police officers certainly deserved to go to prison for 289 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: a long time. But saying that, we have seen the 290 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: legitimate and very passionate protest regarding the death of mister 291 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: Floyd get hijacked from those individuals in this country who 292 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: serve no purpose but to attempt to tear down this country, 293 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: and they are attacking police, they're beating police, they're shooting police. 294 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: And have a mayor in the city of New York 295 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: and you have Governor Cuomwall actually criticizing the police. And 296 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, when the mayor of a city 297 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: or a governor of a state decide that they could 298 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: have publicly announced that there's going to be investigations regarding 299 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: these protests and then say they're investigating the police, that 300 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: runs a chill up and down the spine of police 301 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: officers nationwide. Steve, and I don't understand why anybody would 302 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: be a big city cop these days because of this situation, 303 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: because of the condition of our cities. I get the 304 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: calling to be a cop. I get the calling for 305 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: a life of service. Why do it in a place 306 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: like New York City right now where you know you 307 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: don't have nobody as you're back, you're on your own, basically, 308 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: you're with your fellow guys and that's all you've got. Well, 309 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. And you know, we hear a lot 310 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 1: today about defunding the police. I think LA is going 311 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: to be doing that. They won't have to worry about 312 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: defunding the police. There's gonna be nobody left to join 313 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: the police ranks. Recruiting to begin with was at low levels. 314 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: I could imagine what's going to happen now. And believe me, 315 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: it's an profession. It's a great profession. It's the police 316 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: who are honorable people in an honorable profession. But you 317 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: know what is not the honorable so quote profession. Politics. 318 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: These politicians are not honorable people, and they're the ones 319 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: that have planted the seeds of divisiveness across this country, 320 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: not the cops. Has you seen this ramp up or 321 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: are we just seeing it on the news? Ramp up? 322 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you had this long career of eight thousand 323 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: years of service in various various every service you could 324 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: possibly do, you've done it. Have you seen it get 325 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: worse in recent years or are we just now noticing 326 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: it because of social media and everything else. Well, it's 327 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: a great question. I have actually seen improvements over the 328 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: years in my thirty eight year career, the introduction of 329 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: community policing, of the introduction of getting the clergy involved 330 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: with police departments in the community. You've got eight hundred 331 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: thousand police officers, you know, law enforcement officers in this country. 332 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: And when you see an incident like this, the media 333 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: seems to just focus all its attention on the bad 334 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: and none on the good. But I'll tell you I 335 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: was able to trace this back as to how this 336 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: all began. I mentioned this last night to people. If 337 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: you go back to the sixties, there was a desire 338 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: for the people of this country to get God God 339 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: out of our lives. Schools began to talk about socialism 340 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: being better than capitalism. There was a you didn't learn 341 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: about civics anymore. You didn't learn about the pride of 342 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: American history. You didn't learn about the men and women 343 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: who fought in World War One and World War Two. 344 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: And think about this when we see e Regima. Right, 345 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: we all see in the e Regima the Marines putting 346 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: the flag on. No, what we don't see, We don't 347 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: see their ages, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen year old kids that 348 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: fought for this country getting shot down and be seventeen bombers. 349 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: You know, a couple of days from now, I think 350 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: it's tomorrow, June sixth, Right, we're gonna be D Day. 351 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna be celebrating and honoring the D Day veterans. 352 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: So my question is, and here's a chilling question for 353 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: you to think about, if we had there every end 354 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: up in a war, I mean a real war, will 355 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: these young people stand up and fight for their country 356 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: like they're fighting the police on the streets here, and 357 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: by the way, they're also fighting the black community, the 358 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: white community. They're fighting all of us. For what reason. Well, 359 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: the seats were planted way back about socialism and now 360 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: we're reaping the if you would would the rewards of 361 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: those seats, Steve, do we still have systemic racism with 362 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: the police departments in black communities, especially these urban centers. 363 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: I'm focusing on these urban centers because we're not seeing 364 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: these riots outside of America's major cities. Is there a 365 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: systemic police racism problem, I don't want to be ignorant 366 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: to it. No, there is not, and the statistics prove that. 367 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: You will find through research, and by the way, research 368 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: by by black researchers. They explained that more white people 369 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: are shot by white officers than black people are. You 370 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: find that there's white cops and black cops and all 371 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: kinds of cops out there who are treating people fairly 372 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: and decently, saving their lives. I could let me give 373 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: you an example Chicago. Every single weekend, people are being 374 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: murdered in Chicago, shot to dead. Well, it's black on 375 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: black crime. I mean, that's no secret. The cops, white, black, 376 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: no matter what ethnicity they are. They want to go 377 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: in and help the people. They want to go in 378 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: and stop crime. But unfortunately, the political will is off. 379 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: It's just going off on the sidelines. There seems to 380 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: be no desire on the part of these politicians to 381 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: go and help the people. So when we talk about racism, 382 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: indeed there are racists, there's racists and all professions, but 383 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: certainly it's not an epidemic, not at all. What role 384 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: do you give the media for all this nonsense It 385 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: just seems to me like all they do is poor 386 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: gasoline on the fire and make sure people are angrier 387 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: and angrier and angrier. Well, you know, I've seen the 388 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: media as you have over the years. I remember the 389 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: days of Walter Cronkite. He must be like rolling over 390 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: in his grave right now. There used to be something 391 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: called journalism. It doesn't exist anymore in this country. Every 392 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: time we turn the TV on and CNN and MSNBC especially, 393 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: they're adding fuel to the fires of racism. They're not 394 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: doing anything to to help heal the country, to help 395 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: bring people together. Now they would argue that point, but 396 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: you know when you turn your TV on and MSNBC 397 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: and CNN are constantly chasing down rioters to interview them. 398 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: Where the interviews of the police, but the cops on 399 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: the front line that are getting spit on and bricks 400 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: thrown at them. So you know, it's it's right in 401 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: front of us. And there is a very serious socialist 402 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: agenda being advanced in this country. And here's what I 403 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: tell people. Talk to someone who was in Venezuela, talk 404 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: to someone who lived in the Soviet Union, talk to 405 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: them about socialism. That leads to communism, and that's the 406 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: road where going. Dan. If we don't put a stuff 407 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: to this now, Stephen Rodgers, thank you for your life 408 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: of service, for your comments, then I appreciate you, sir. 409 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: My closure, thank you very much, would be good. We 410 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: got even more hang America. Americans are obsessed with race. 411 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: I find it to be bizarre. I grew up differently, 412 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: especially in the Marine Corps. We were obviously all kinds 413 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: of races in my patoon, and we were ruthless to 414 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: each other about it. That's all we did was joke 415 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: about it, and as a result, nobody cared. And I 416 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: get out and I find that Americans are just obsessed 417 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: with this word. So we're gonna talk to David Harris 418 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: about this. David J. Harris joining us now part of 419 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: the David Jay Harris podcast and part of Black Voices 420 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: for Trump. David, I find it very weird that Americans 421 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: are so up in arms about it all the time 422 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: that whenever somebody says they're having a frank conversation about it, 423 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: almost inevitably that just means somebody's being made to feel 424 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: like crap and someone else is being told to shut 425 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: up about it. What are your views? On it. Yeah, Jesse, 426 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,239 Speaker 1: it's very interesting exactly what we have to deal with 427 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: in this country. You know, I grew up. I'm by racial. 428 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: My mother is white of Irish descent, my dad is 429 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: very black, and I was raised in an area that 430 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: was predominantly white in northern California. I dealt with racism 431 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: from the black individuals, you know, the ones that were 432 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: darker than like my dad, that said, you know, you're 433 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: not black. And then obviously I also dealt with the 434 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: racist white individuals that didn't see me as anything other 435 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: than black. So I was stuck in the middle. You know, 436 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: I talk about that a lot in my book Why 437 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: I Couldn't Stay Silent Shameless Plug. You can get that 438 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: on my website David Harriston dot com. But I talk 439 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: about that. It was very interesting for me growing up 440 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: to try to figure out where I fit in. And 441 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: obviously you look at me, you don't see a white person. 442 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: Yet that's half of my heritage, half of my lineage. 443 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: So I think there is definitely an unhealthy reliance on 444 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: defining an individual based on this color of their skin. 445 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: You know, the great Martin Luther King Junior said, judge 446 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: a person by the character not by the color of 447 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: their skin. Yet that seems to be just what so 448 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: many people want to do. And I'll say this, it's 449 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: mostly coming from the left and from Democrats that say, 450 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: find your identity in the color of your skin and 451 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: vote based on that fact as well. Is that where 452 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: the division really comes from, because that's what it looks 453 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: like to me too. Honestly, you get anybody of all. 454 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: My neighborhood is a gigantic mixture of all kinds of praises, 455 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: and we all get together and we play cornhall on 456 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: the weekend, so we have a couple of beers, we 457 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: talk about the kids, and if we ever talk about race, 458 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: we're joking with each other about it. And that's how 459 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: it looks in every small setting. But then you get 460 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: this national setting and it looks like we're on the 461 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: verge of a race war. It's bizarre. Well, it is bizarre, 462 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: but I think that I see the intent behind it. 463 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: You know, the mainstream media is predominantly liberal. They supported 464 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: Barack Obama Bill Clinton to no end. They couldn't do 465 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: anything wrong in the liberal media's eyes. And they understand 466 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: also that culture is downstream from politics, is downstream from culture. 467 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: And they want to make everybody feel like they're in 468 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: a box. They don't want to, you know, preach and 469 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: stream and talk about the American dream for all people. 470 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: They want people to feel victimized. They want people to 471 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: feel like they're victims and that they have to vote 472 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: based on that victimhood mentality. And it's it's cold, shouldn't 473 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: be what the main focus is for any individual. We 474 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: live in the greatest country in the world with the 475 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: most opportunities for anyone. It's funny to me that so 476 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: many black celebrities are championing this same victimhood mentality when 477 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: they're filthy, stinking rich and got rich in this country. 478 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: I don't seeing you white privilege that kept them from 479 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: becoming some of the juggnauts of the sports industry or 480 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: the Hollywood industry or the rap industry. In fact, it 481 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: was probably majority white Americans that actually were the ones 482 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: that supported them in their journey and bought their CDs 483 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: or bought the tickets, or bought the jerseys and actually 484 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: gave them the wealth that they've gotten. So it's true 485 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: hypocrisy in my book, David, Obviously, I'm assuming we have 486 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: some police officers who are racist because I believe that 487 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: every human being holds some kind of prejudice in them, 488 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: and eventually you're going to get to a crappy cop. 489 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: There's too many cops to not have a crappy cop. However, 490 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: do we have a racism problem with America's law enforcement? 491 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: You can tell me if we do. Do we have 492 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: a racism problem or do we just have a crappy 493 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: cop problem. I believe we have a crappy cop problem. 494 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: I believe that we have individuals that sought to get 495 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: the badge in order to wield that power. They wield 496 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: it over anybody, and I believe that while there are 497 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: prejudices that exist in the hearts and minds of individuals, 498 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't believe that that's how we paint a broad 499 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: stroke over all of law enforcement officers. I believe most 500 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: officers are goodhearted individuals that wanted to protect and serve 501 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: their community. A lot of black individuals that got in 502 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: the law enforcement to protect and serve their own community, 503 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: and it's disgusting that they're all being painted as racist. 504 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't believe that one bit. David. You mentioned growing 505 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: up you were half Irish, which is the part I 506 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: cheered about because that's me and half black. And you 507 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: mentioned you took that on a lot, getting it from 508 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: both sides, if you will. Have you seen race relations 509 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: obviously not with the burning down of cities, But have 510 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: you seen that part of your life improve as America 511 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: got older and you got older or do you still 512 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: think it's always just there? I believe that it has 513 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: gotten better, you know. I believe that as America grows 514 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: and flourishes, so do the hearts and minds of Americans. 515 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: You know, I continue to hear from so many, especially 516 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: after the absolute tragedy of the death of George Floyd. 517 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: I have so many white Americans that are offering apologies 518 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: to me. And you don't need to apologize to me. 519 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: You didn't do it. You can't take the weight and 520 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: the brunt of the guilt from one individual that was 521 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: acting out of his own reasons. Still has yet to 522 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: be proven if it was him being racist or if 523 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: it was just him wielding his power. I believe he 524 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: had seventeen cases of excessive abuse. He murdered a Native 525 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: American band Amy klobad Jarnt let him off and didn't 526 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: prosecute him. So I believe we have an individual here 527 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: that is absolutely just high on his own power, drunk 528 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: on power, and in no way cheap or form represents 529 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: all of law enforcement. I don't believe that racism in 530 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: America today will keep anybody from achieving whatever they set 531 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: their mind and heart to to go after it. It 532 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: is the American dream for all of us, and it's 533 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: continuing to get better, especially under the leadership of this 534 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: current administration. David, Is there an ingrained distrust in the 535 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: black community when it comes to police officers? Is that 536 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: just something that's played up in the news. Is that 537 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: just you know, maybe a big city parted not as 538 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: much of a rural part. Is there that ingrained distrust 539 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: in the black community? You know, I believe, unfortunately there is, 540 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: But I believe it's twofold. I believe it's not only 541 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: that it is it's exploited by mainstream media when a 542 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: white cop shoots or or uses excessive force on a 543 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: black individual. But I also believe that it's ingrained from 544 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: the black community to the black community. You don't know 545 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: how many of my black brothers and sisters and family 546 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: that just have it out for Republicans. They believe the lie, 547 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: They believe the big switch that all of a sudden, 548 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: all of the Democrats that were for segregation, that became 549 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: the KKK, that were for Jim Crow, all of a 550 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: sudden switched and became the champions for civil rights. They 551 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: believe that. And then at the same time, the party 552 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: that was actually founded as the anti slavery Party, all 553 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden just became the party of racist I mean, 554 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: it's really insane to me that for sixty years the 555 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: majority of the black community has believed that lie. Yet 556 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: I believe that, and I hope that with voices like 557 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: mine and others in this conservative movement, I hope that 558 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: lie absolutely gets exposed for what it is because it's 559 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. So unfortunately, I believe there is a there 560 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: is an ingrainement in the black community for that. But 561 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: you know what, there's also something in the black community 562 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: that's that says snitches get stitches. You know, there's this 563 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: there's this unnecessary support for when a black man kills 564 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: another black individual. We can't forget that over ninety percent 565 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: of black individuals in this country are kill at the 566 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: hands of other black individuals, not whites, and not white cops. 567 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: And every time I see a black black Lives Matter 568 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: protests or march, you know, take that same passion and 569 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: go into these inner cities and these black neighborhoods where 570 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: blacks are getting murdered at an exorbitive rate. It's just 571 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: it's unnecessary to protest in march over over one individual. 572 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: I understand that, and I acknowledge that, But then to 573 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: not do it in black communities where black on black 574 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: crime is so uh, is so abundant, is just it 575 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: baffles me. David. I think we have more than a 576 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: race issue what we're seeing right now. I think we 577 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: have a board unemployed, angry young man issue. I think, 578 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: no matter what your skin color is, when you have 579 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: young men without direction, full of testosterone, oftentimes without a job, 580 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: especially now since we wiped out about fifty million jobs, 581 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: I think that is a big part of this powder 582 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: keg explosion we're seeing right now. Do you agree absolutely? 583 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: You know if there was, And again I try not 584 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: to get into conspiracy theories until they're proven fact, because 585 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: that's all a theory is, is something that hasn't been 586 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: proven fact. But conspiracies do take place. It's just people 587 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: conspiring to get away with something without others knowing. So 588 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: this big. You know, Oh, we can't talk about conspiracy theories. Well, 589 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: unfortunately a lot of them are being proved fact. If 590 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: there was in fact a conspiracy to try to rip 591 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: away this current election, which I will would be a 592 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: landslide for President Donald Trump from the black community, it 593 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 1: would be exacerbating a death like George Floyd, having Antifa 594 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: in the wings ready to go out take over these marches. 595 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: I was at one yesterday and it was interesting that 596 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: after the march that was peaceful and ended in prayer. 597 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: When it ended, individuals still stop stood around and then 598 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: they began to lead a second march, and it was 599 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: a white person that was fully masked, had a face mask, 600 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: a hat, glasses, kept his hand over his face. Looked 601 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: like antipoo to me, and he was leading the second 602 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: half of the march where they walked for an additional 603 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,720 Speaker 1: two hours against oncoming traffic, making the local police literally 604 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 1: shift and go to try to stop traffic to keep 605 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: safety there. Thank got it. It didn't end with violence, 606 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: But again it just goes to show me that there 607 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: isn't a gend at where the radical left will use 608 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: the emotions of Americans against ourselves. And then when violence 609 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: does break out or mayhem or destruction breaks out, the 610 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: black individuals get blame for it. David J. Harris of 611 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: the David J. Harris Podcast, Thank you, sir. I appreciate 612 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: you very much, absolutely, brother, thanks for having me on. 613 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: Be good, all right, hang on, well, it is time 614 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: for the man with the greatest head of hair I've 615 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: ever seen in my life to join us. Obviously, he's 616 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: not gonna need an introduction to you because you can 617 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: see him every single day right here on the first 618 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: You can hear him on the national radio ware waves. 619 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: It's this big shot star and I know him, Buck 620 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: Sexton Buck. How are things in New York? Brother, I'm 621 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: looking at the news and it yikes, it's not looking 622 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: good up there, Jesse. Have you seen the movie The 623 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: Purge where everything is legal and there's no cops. It's 624 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: been it's been a little bit like that, especially on 625 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: Monday night, when I mean I could hear the man. 626 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: There are stores that I can see from my window 627 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: of my very small apartment. I can see the stores 628 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 1: that have had their glass fronts broken into. Wasn't really looting, 629 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, there was some looting, but sometimes that would 630 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: just go past a seven eleven or a Dwayne Read 631 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: or a CBS or whatever, and just break it, just 632 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: break the glass just because they felt like it. This 633 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: city is now thinking about cutting the police budget in 634 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: response to overwhelm police forces. The left is in full 635 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: control here. Conservatives like you and me have been warning 636 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: about this for a very long time, and the left 637 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: has completely lost its mind. They cannot be reasoned with. 638 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: That's how we're doing. Have you been out and about 639 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you have in lot of your apartment or 640 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: maybe you have. I know you're still under lockdown rules 641 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 1: unless you're assaulting a cup somewhere, and then you're free 642 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: to go and they'll just let you right out of 643 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: jail in that insane place where you live. But if 644 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: you have been out, did you feel safe? Does it 645 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: feel like a war zone? Is this taking place some 646 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: place far from you? I'm out every day and I'm 647 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: out in the open air, not wearing a mask and 648 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: just trying to leave my life as normally as I can. 649 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: Not are very abnormal circumstances. I will say this. You 650 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: know there's a curfew, so after eight o'clock you actually 651 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: can be arrested for being on the street unless you 652 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: have a legitimate reason for it. And the answer to 653 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: your question, is it safe on the streets in my 654 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: neighborhood Monday night? If you were out on the street 655 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: and you did not have a side arm, you were 656 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: in danger. It was dangerous. It was not safe. I 657 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: don't care how big and tough someone thinks they are 658 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: unless you were armed. And because it's New York, if 659 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: you were armed, you're facing if you get caught, several 660 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: years in prison. So that's the scene up here in 661 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: terms of safety. Well, Buck, I needed to shoot me 662 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: straight on this. Have you ever had a negative encounter 663 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: with a police officer where you said, do you know 664 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: who I am? I'm Buck Sexton. No, I can't say 665 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: that's ever happened, but I did used to have a 666 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 1: cool little id as someone who worked for the NYPD, 667 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: and maybe that occasionally helps out if you get pulled 668 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: over for speed apart take maybe, but I've heard rumors 669 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: that that might be helpful if you work for the 670 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: NYPD and you get in trouble with the NYPD on 671 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: small stuff. But no, I have to say, man, here, 672 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 1: the the truth is finally coming out that this is 673 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: this is not about everyone wants to talk about how 674 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: it's about justice. This is an anti cop movement. When 675 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: you're saying defund the police, that's using at a blunt 676 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: instrument against law enforcement. That's not taking a scout at 677 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: the bad parts of law enforcement. It's appalling. But like 678 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: I said, I mean this is really also just another 679 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: mobilization of anti Trumpism, as you and I know, it's 680 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: what the COVID response became, a mobilization of control and 681 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: anti Trumpism. And in New York it still is very 682 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: much that people aren't mad at the right people in 683 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: New York. They should be mad at the mayor, they 684 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: should be mad at the governor. Instead they're mad at Trump. 685 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: That's the way that they managed to get away with 686 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: all this Fuck How did we get here as a society. 687 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: Because I have to be honest, man, and I try 688 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: not to do this thing where I live in the moment. 689 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: I talk about history all the time on my radio show. 690 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: I pay attention to it. But I feel like all 691 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: this has just been cranked up to a thousand and 692 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: about three months. I mean, people forget because everybody's watching 693 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: the riots. Now. We're only a few weeks removed from 694 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: mayors and governors who many of whom are still doing it, 695 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: saying you have to close your business, and all allow 696 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: you to open, but you're not allowed, and you're not allowed, 697 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: and everybody just went along with it. And now we 698 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: have many people, even people on the right, saying, wow, 699 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,879 Speaker 1: I mean, they're just a bunch of peaceful protesters. Are 700 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: you a racist? Jesse? It's like we now have a 701 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: divide in America between left and right. That's really like 702 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: we're living in alternate universes or you know, reality. We're 703 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 1: not living in a shared reality anymore. That there weren't 704 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: protests about the lockdowns, but and there weren't allowed to be, 705 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: which I think was a part of it too. We 706 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: all saw that they were suppressing them. You're gonna get 707 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: in trouble and you were going to be defamed as 708 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: reckless and putting lives at risk if you protested the lockdown. 709 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,320 Speaker 1: The lockdowns should have been protested after two weeks everywhere 710 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: in the country, every day until the government relented, and 711 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Instead, we're finally getting out of lockdown, 712 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: even in New York. We're supposed to be pretty close. 713 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: And now all the protests happened because of one bad 714 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: cop in Minneapolis killing someone. I mean, it's really it's 715 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: hard to fathom how anybody could be this disconnected, this 716 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: delusional about what the problems the country really faces right 717 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,280 Speaker 1: now are. But we just see the world entirely We're 718 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 1: just seeing the world entirely differently. I mean, the left still, 719 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: you know, adheres to this emotion over fact. The whole 720 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: country is just racist all the time. There's systemic racism everywhere, 721 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: and if we march and scream about it, it's gonna change. 722 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: I always want to ask, what are they going to change? 723 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: Because the things they say they're gonna do, like defund 724 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: the police, are stupid. That's dumb. It's not like I 725 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: don't think it's a good idea, it's a dumb idea. 726 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: So how do we fix this? Jesse? I mean, how 727 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: do we get here? The college campuses and the culture 728 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 1: we're taken over by left wing radicals and people said, oh, 729 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: it's just it's just Hollywood and it's just universities. Who 730 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: do you think's really influencing your kids, folks? And then 731 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: they grow up and guess what happens? Buck. Finally, I 732 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: want to read something directly off the Black Lives Matter website, 733 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: so nobody knows every so nobody accuses me of cherry 734 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: picking something I didn't find some random meme on Facebook 735 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: or something somewhere. This is off the Black Lives Matter website. 736 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 1: We foster a queer affirming network. When we gather, we 737 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the 738 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 1: tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather the belief that 739 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: all in the world are heterosexual. We disrupt the Western 740 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: prescribed nuclear family structurally requirement by supporting each other as 741 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 1: extended families and villages that collectively care for one another. 742 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: I'm not going to read the whole thing. I would 743 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: encourage other people to do so, but I will say buck, 744 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm mortified at the normalization of the Black Lives Matter movement, 745 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: as if just because it has that name, they're really 746 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: just a caring movement about black people. This is a 747 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: it's verbatim everything in the leftist legenia. It's almost like 748 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: it was written by white college liberal, which it probably was, 749 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: And people now treat this group as if just a 750 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: legitimate group, but they're just out making signs. Jesse, I 751 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 1: rarely get to the point where I wish that I 752 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: could just start cursing profusely when I'm doing the work 753 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: that I do and I'm there with this, man, I 754 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 1: just I don't know how anyone, and they're conservatives too, 755 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 1: were like, hey, hold on, there's a legitimate grievance. No, no, no, 756 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 1: no no. We've already been through this. I've already debated this. 757 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: I debated this at CMM with Van Jones. I've been 758 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: through this with the narrative that black men are being 759 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: hunted for sport by law enforcement on a systematic basis 760 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: is a lie. It is a lie that is not 761 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: occurring all right there. This is like saying that we 762 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,760 Speaker 1: all can't go outside because of lightning strikes. They do happen, 763 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: but you have to continue to live your life. And 764 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: you can't use that as a means of shutting down 765 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: whatever you don't like because there is this risk out there. 766 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: It's um, it's very frustrating, man. I wish that I 767 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: could say that we on the on the right were 768 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: even like, why aren't people more upset that the lockdowns 769 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: were a fraud because they were? I mean answer that, 770 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't. I mean, Jesse, you and I 771 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: have been yelling about this for months not just to 772 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 1: each other on our respective shows across the country. We 773 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: were right, we're we're all all of our fellow conservatives. 774 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: Why aren't people you know, Tucker Crowson's landing up on Fox, 775 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: God bless him. There are a few other places, but 776 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people are such whimps on this issue. Oh, 777 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to be called racist. They're gonna call 778 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: you racist anyway, because it's not about actually being racist. Amen, 779 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, listen to that man. He's rights buck 780 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 1: Sexton of the Buck Sexton Show right here on the 781 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: first I appreciate you, my brother, Thanks Jesse. And that's 782 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: it for our special and you know what made it 783 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: extra special, me enjoy. I'll see you
