Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. I am not Buck Sexton. I am
Speaker 1: Rob Smith, and I want to just let you know
Speaker 1: who I am as I go into this journey of
Speaker 1: guest hosting for Buck Sexton a day. First of all,
Speaker 1: I am in a rockwar veteran. I'm a senior contributor
Speaker 1: to Turning Point USA. I'm the author of a book
Speaker 1: called Always a Soldier, and I am the host of
Speaker 1: my own podcast. It is called Rob Smith Is Problematic.
Speaker 1: You can get that on an iHeart podcast, Apple podcast,
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. I met Buck Sexton. Buck
Speaker 1: is a really great, amazing guy. I met Buck Sexton randomly.
Speaker 1: I've been doing a media for a while. I come
Speaker 1: out as conservative about three years ago, and this is
Speaker 1: probably about a year and a half ago at this point.
Speaker 1: I met Buck on the subway in New York City,
Speaker 1: pre COVID before all of this craziness, and Buck runs
Speaker 1: up to me. It's like, hey, Rob, like, you're Rob Smith.
Speaker 1: You know, how's it going. I listen to your stuff,
Speaker 1: I love it, and we're just talking. You know, Buck
Speaker 1: is a normal guy. I've met a lot of media
Speaker 1: figures in this world, because when you do this, you
Speaker 1: meet everybody, and Buck is one of my favorite people
Speaker 1: that I've met in this industry. He was just very normal,
Speaker 1: he was very gregarious. He said, hey, Rob, you know,
Speaker 1: it's great to meet you. And just a couple of
Speaker 1: days later I met him again at a gala for
Speaker 1: the I think it was a New York Young Republicans
Speaker 1: Republicans Club. So Buck and I are very cool. He
Speaker 1: actually gave me the advice as to what podcast Mike
Speaker 1: I should buy for my first podcast. So I say
Speaker 1: all this to say, Buck is a great guy. I
Speaker 1: am so happy. I'm thrilled to be filling in for you.
Speaker 1: I am not Buck, I am me. But I think
Speaker 1: that if you like Buck Sexton and you like his
Speaker 1: point of view, I think that you will like my
Speaker 1: point of view. So let's get into it. So this
Speaker 1: week was obviously another week in this sort of New
Speaker 1: America that we live in in which everybody is obsessed
Speaker 1: with race all the time. If you cannot tell it
Speaker 1: from my voice or if you have never heard of
Speaker 1: me before, I've never seen any of my stuff. I
Speaker 1: am black. I'm a black American. So I came out
Speaker 1: as conservative, Like I said, a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of takes on very many things.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about what everyone is talking about this week,
Speaker 1: which is this George Floyd Derek Chauvin trial verdict. Right,
Speaker 1: And so let's let's start back off with the initial video,
Speaker 1: which I saw it, You saw it, Everyone saw it.
Speaker 1: Everyone saw the video of this officer, you know, with
Speaker 1: his knee on George Floyd's for nine minutes and twenty
Speaker 1: nine seconds, I believe um. And you know, this has
Speaker 1: kind of been memory hole, this has kind of been
Speaker 1: wiped out of the memory of America. But everybody left
Speaker 1: or right was absolutely horrified at this video. That was
Speaker 1: never under question. I think that a lot of people
Speaker 1: on the left wanted to pretend that there was any
Speaker 1: conservative with any platform, mainstream or otherwise, that was at
Speaker 1: all defending Derek Chauvin's actions in this case, and that
Speaker 1: never happened. So first of all, let's just start there.
Speaker 1: The video was horrifying, and for me, it's quite obvious
Speaker 1: that there was something very wrong here with this officer's behavior,
Speaker 1: not only the violence of it, but the callousness with
Speaker 1: which he looked at the people that were screaming for
Speaker 1: him to stop all of this other stuff. This is
Speaker 1: very disturbing. I've never discounted that, and the vast majority
Speaker 1: of conservatives have never discounted that. So there's this idea
Speaker 1: that this was somehow a left right thing. So there
Speaker 1: were conservatives that were championing this, and there were leftists
Speaker 1: or people on the left that we're saying this is wrong.
Speaker 1: So that is false, first of all. And so now
Speaker 1: the question is now that the verd just come in
Speaker 1: and this man has been found guilty of all charges,
Speaker 1: guilty of murder of three charges. I think that he
Speaker 1: has faces up to forty years in prison or something
Speaker 1: like that. So the question is, now, did this man
Speaker 1: get a fair trial? And I believe that that is
Speaker 1: a fair question to ask. I really do. When we're
Speaker 1: talking about our criminal justice system, when we're talking about
Speaker 1: the idea that everyone deserves a fair trial, the question
Speaker 1: is did this man get a fair trial? That's a
Speaker 1: fair question to ask. And the reason people are asking
Speaker 1: this question is because never before have we seen so
Speaker 1: much intervention from outside sources, from outside people that could
Speaker 1: influence the way a jury sees a case, or could
Speaker 1: influence this verdict. Now, one of the craziest interventions right
Speaker 1: here was from Maxine Waters. And everybody knows Maxine Waters literally,
Speaker 1: So first of all, Maxine Waters, the you know, has
Speaker 1: been in Congress for thirty years. It is an absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing for her district. She lives in a six million
Speaker 1: dollars home outside of her district, which is in California.
Speaker 1: So she flew all the way across the country to
Speaker 1: insert herself right in the middle of this moment and
Speaker 1: to tell people that were protesting, this was before the verdict,
Speaker 1: that we need to get more confrontational because we want
Speaker 1: a guilty verdict. In fact, her behavior and sort of
Speaker 1: inserting herself into this national conversation was so egregious that
Speaker 1: even the judge in the case said that this may be,
Speaker 1: you know, grounds for an overturn on appeal. This is
Speaker 1: the judge that said this, and he said over and
Speaker 1: over and over again that he wishes that political figures
Speaker 1: would have stayed out of this case, but they did
Speaker 1: not stay out of it. So so Maxine Waters intervened
Speaker 1: in this and this is what she said. And basically
Speaker 1: there was the threat of more violence and more looting
Speaker 1: if this trial did not come out the way that
Speaker 1: the BLM mob wanted it to come out. If this
Speaker 1: man was not found guilty of all three counts, then
Speaker 1: there is going to be more violence or looting. I
Speaker 1: know it, I know it, you know it. Everybody knew it.
Speaker 1: This is why Minneapolis was boarded up, this is why
Speaker 1: they were they were they were stealing themselves for this
Speaker 1: verdict in case it did not come back guilty. So
Speaker 1: there's definitely she was definitely calling for virus in this moment. Okay,
Speaker 1: And but the thing about it is is that she
Speaker 1: can get away with this because she's gonna have um
Speaker 1: these brain did idiots in the mainstream media defending her.
Speaker 1: And one of those brain dead idiots in the mainstream
Speaker 1: media is Don Lemon, who has the absolute wrong take
Speaker 1: about everything. And you know, I want you play cut seventeen.
Speaker 1: This is Don Lemon defending Maxine Waters in this case.
Speaker 1: Look at me, everyone, do you really think Maxine Waters
Speaker 1: is calling for violence? Maxine Waters is not calling for violence.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that she makes a lot of people uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: especially a lot of men, and quite frankly, especially especially
Speaker 1: a lot of white men, because she puts them in
Speaker 1: her place. She tells, you got up. Respect this person,
Speaker 1: don't talk to me that way. And she gives it
Speaker 1: to you like it is. She gives it to you
Speaker 1: like it is. So you know, somebody like Maxine Waters
Speaker 1: will always be able to do this and got and
Speaker 1: you know, these leftist politicians they see the nuttiest stuff
Speaker 1: because they will be protected by the mainstream media and
Speaker 1: by people like Don Lemon. And so he says, people
Speaker 1: with half a brain, No, she wasn't calling for violence.
Speaker 1: That is that is garbage because those people that were
Speaker 1: in the streets in Minneapolis protesting knew exactly what she
Speaker 1: was saying, and she knew exactly what she was saying
Speaker 1: as well. So that was just one aspect of the
Speaker 1: the influence that that outside source has had on this case.
Speaker 1: And mind you, yet again, I'm not I'm not defending
Speaker 1: their children. I'm not defending this stuff. The question that
Speaker 1: we should be having here as all Americans is did
Speaker 1: this man get a fair trial? Right? And so there
Speaker 1: there was this, There was Joe Biden literally saying as
Speaker 1: the jurors were deliberating that he was praying for the
Speaker 1: quote unquote right verdict. Right, So this stuff matters. We
Speaker 1: have an MPR article that was literally titled what we
Speaker 1: know about the jurors in the Chauvin case. These people
Speaker 1: that were on this jury had to have been terrified
Speaker 1: for their lives. They had to have been terrified as
Speaker 1: to what would happen to them. And this is regardless white, black, Otherwise,
Speaker 1: they had to have been terrified as to what would
Speaker 1: happen to them if they, in their minds, thought that
Speaker 1: Chauvin was not guilty of murder, that he was guilty
Speaker 1: of manslaughter or something else. And that's the question here
Speaker 1: is did he get a fair trial? I hope that
Speaker 1: he got a fair trial. I hope that these jurors, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, were not sequestered in this case. They
Speaker 1: were not sequestered, so they went home every single day
Speaker 1: and they saw all of this stuff. So my hope
Speaker 1: is that he got a fair trial. My gut is
Speaker 1: that it didn't. And the thing about it is is
Speaker 1: that all of these jurors knew exactly what would happen
Speaker 1: to this country had this man been had this man
Speaker 1: not been found guilty on all accounts, and they responded
Speaker 1: accordingly they did. And I'm gonna wrap this conversation up
Speaker 1: with a tweet from somebody that I follow on Twitter
Speaker 1: named Mike Cernovich. If you guys don't follow him, follow him.
Speaker 1: He tweeted this on the facts in law. The Chauvin
Speaker 1: case was always a close one. He could have been
Speaker 1: properly convicted, but he did not get a fair trial,
Speaker 1: as everyone from rioters to a member of Congress to
Speaker 1: the President of the United States tampered with. The outcome
Speaker 1: today is one of national disgrace, a true insurrection. And
Speaker 1: I do not think that Cernovich is wrong. And so
Speaker 1: now that we've gotten this guilty verdict and the Derek
Speaker 1: Chauvin case, this man has been found guilty of murdering
Speaker 1: George Floyd. You would think that a lot of the
Speaker 1: people whose voices were so strong about this, we have
Speaker 1: to get this man convicted. We have to get this
Speaker 1: man convicted. You would think that that they would be
Speaker 1: satisfied with this because they got what they wanted. You
Speaker 1: would think that they would be satisfied with this verdict.
Speaker 1: But no, they are not. And I want to play
Speaker 1: for you just a couple of the things that be
Speaker 1: most prominent black politicians in America and some of the
Speaker 1: most prominent politicians in America of any color, have said,
Speaker 1: I want you to play play cut one play Corey Busch.
Speaker 1: This verdict is a step. It's a popping of the
Speaker 1: lock to be able to get to the place that
Speaker 1: we can open the door and really start to do
Speaker 1: the work to save lives. And so this agregious murder
Speaker 1: that happened, we can call it murder. Now, this agregious
Speaker 1: murder that happened, it should not be that. It has
Speaker 1: to look like that in order for us to have
Speaker 1: some type of symbolis of what people call justice. This
Speaker 1: was accountability, but it's not yet justice. Justice for us,
Speaker 1: it's saving lives. Justice for us is saving lives. And
Speaker 1: so what you see here this is this is really interesting.
Speaker 1: This is a moving of the goalposts. Right. So this verdict,
Speaker 1: a guilty verdict, is what people wanted, right, and this
Speaker 1: was originally seen as justice when they wanted a guilty verdict.
Speaker 1: So now they got this guilty verdict. They got the
Speaker 1: guilty verdict, and thank god Minneapolis didn't burn, thank god
Speaker 1: other cities did not burn. I think that everybody is
Speaker 1: very happy about that. In fact, you know, somebody, you know,
Speaker 1: Greg Gutfield over on Fox, got in a little bit
Speaker 1: of trouble because he said what a lot of people
Speaker 1: were thinking, is this something that I would say, absolutely not?
Speaker 1: But he said, and this is what Greg Gutfield said,
Speaker 1: which I found so interesting. He said, I'm happy. I
Speaker 1: think he said that I don't. It was something to
Speaker 1: the effect of, I don't know if Chauvin was guilty
Speaker 1: or not in terms of the charges, but I am
Speaker 1: happy that he was found guilty because I don't want
Speaker 1: my streets to be burned. I don't want riots to
Speaker 1: be happening. I don't want all of this stuff that
Speaker 1: we know happens when these situations come to America. I
Speaker 1: don't want all this stuff to happen. Is that something
Speaker 1: that I would say, no, But that is something that
Speaker 1: a lot of people are thinking. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You're going to hear a lot of this stuff. When
Speaker 1: Corey Bush says that this is about accountability, but it's
Speaker 1: not yet justice. They have not achieved the goals that
Speaker 1: they wanted to achieve with this. And by the way,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get into this a little bit later,
Speaker 1: there are some goals with criminal justice system overhaul that
Speaker 1: are good goals, that are goals that we should all
Speaker 1: want as a society. Because the thing about it is
Speaker 1: we have to have a conversation about the criminal justice system,
Speaker 1: which yes, has been grossly unfair to African Americans and
Speaker 1: has been for decades. That is a fact. We know that, right.
Speaker 1: That is why under the Trump administration they passed the
Speaker 1: first step actual criminal justice reform. Now this was past
Speaker 1: none of the Trump administration. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I remember lobbying on Capitol Hill with me Candas Owens.
Speaker 1: I think we lobbied Take Cruise about it. We definitely
Speaker 1: we lobbied Senator Rampaul about it. So this was This
Speaker 1: is a conversation that has become nonpartisan, this conversation about
Speaker 1: criminal justice reform. This is a bipartisan conversation. And so
Speaker 1: now this George Floyd case and in everything about it
Speaker 1: is kind of being used for this to push this,
Speaker 1: which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing. But
Speaker 1: the problems that I have with this, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get into this in a little bit, the problems that
Speaker 1: I have with this are using in martyring George Floyd
Speaker 1: in this conversation. And I want you to listen to
Speaker 1: there are a couple other people that had something else
Speaker 1: to say about this. I want you to play cut
Speaker 1: three play Bakari sellers, Yeah, this is not justice. I
Speaker 1: don't want anyone to get confused about the journey that
Speaker 1: we're on, the journey that we're on together. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are a couple of things. Justice would be George
Speaker 1: Floyd alive. Justice would be policy and reforms in place
Speaker 1: that ensure it that when police interact with people of color,
Speaker 1: they can live through those interactions. Yesterday was a good
Speaker 1: step when it comes to accountability, though, and you have
Speaker 1: to have some hope because finally we have accountability and
Speaker 1: a criminal justice system that hasn't ever been there before.
Speaker 1: And so that is why people are breathing easier. That's
Speaker 1: why people are having some simbilance of hope because of
Speaker 1: that accountability. And so the issue that I have with
Speaker 1: that is this, when we talk about accountability and when
Speaker 1: we talk about breathing easier, and I have to say
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of these black leftist political
Speaker 1: commentators that make a career out of pretending that the
Speaker 1: average black American walks through this world being afraid of police,
Speaker 1: that the average black American walks through this world thinking
Speaker 1: that they are going to be in Lebron James's words,
Speaker 1: hunted down by white police officers. Right. They make a
Speaker 1: living off of this. And the issue that I have
Speaker 1: with this is that, and this is something that nobody
Speaker 1: really wants to say, but I'll say it. The issue
Speaker 1: that I have with this is this, none of these
Speaker 1: people deserve you know, George Floyd didn't deserve to die.
Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor didn't deserve to die. These people do not
Speaker 1: deserve to die. So that is not the conversation. And
Speaker 1: whenever you kind of like poke holes and in these
Speaker 1: talking points, the idea of people say, oh, well, you know,
Speaker 1: you just you think that they deserve to die and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, that's not a conversation. So the conversation
Speaker 1: is this, we never take into account the structural issues
Speaker 1: that exist within these communities that lead certain people to
Speaker 1: have more negative interactions with the police. Two gauge in
Speaker 1: the types of crime and in that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: that will lead you to have a negative interaction with
Speaker 1: the police. We had another another BLM case. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear anything about them about this case anymore.
Speaker 1: That's over is the young man named Dante right, right, um, So,
Speaker 1: Dante Wright was shot and killed by police officers. And
Speaker 1: of course this was going to be another BLM thing.
Speaker 1: This is going to be another you know, justice in
Speaker 1: the streets, protest all of that other stuff. And then
Speaker 1: the bodycam footage comes out and you see that number
Speaker 1: one that this man was. This man had multiple warrants.
Speaker 1: He was stopped by the police officers. Now, when the
Speaker 1: story was first got into the media, um, they they
Speaker 1: interviewed the mother and the merger said, oh, well, he
Speaker 1: called me because he got stopped, but because some air
Speaker 1: fresheners we were, you know, hanging off of the rearview mirror,
Speaker 1: which was a total lie, by the way. And so
Speaker 1: when the story gets out, they you know, you think
Speaker 1: that this young man was just shot and killed by
Speaker 1: these police officers, and it turns out that it was
Speaker 1: a tragic accident. Number one, this man had warrant um,
Speaker 1: he struggled with the police officers and drove way. Some
Speaker 1: idiot cop shot him with the gun thought it was
Speaker 1: her taser. She needs to never wear a badge again,
Speaker 1: by the way, because that was awful. But this thing
Speaker 1: ended up being a tragic mistake that wasn't at all
Speaker 1: racially motivated. But we never have the conversation as to
Speaker 1: why we do not want to talk about the failings
Speaker 1: in these structures and the failings in some segments of
Speaker 1: the community that leads to people having more negative interactions
Speaker 1: with the police. We never talk about crime rates, We
Speaker 1: never talk about fatherlessness, we never talked about broken families,
Speaker 1: We never talk about any of that stuff. So then
Speaker 1: it becomes we have created a world in which the government.
Speaker 1: You know, this is the world that the left wants
Speaker 1: to create, a world in which the government controls all.
Speaker 1: But the government is the de facto daddy in these homes,
Speaker 1: and so the government is always at fault, and that
Speaker 1: is where the conversation is. I don't like it. The
Speaker 1: conversation never really moves past that. But I have to
Speaker 1: tell you that in all of this stuff, in the
Speaker 1: George Floyd stuff, in the balm protests and all of
Speaker 1: this stuff, and I want to get into a little
Speaker 1: bit more of this after the break, because George Floyd
Speaker 1: is not someone to be martyred. He is only being
Speaker 1: martyred and treated in the way that he is because
Speaker 1: he is a pawn for their agenda. A lot of you,
Speaker 1: like me or just at that phase where you're starting
Speaker 1: to think about the future your family, how you're going
Speaker 1: to build for the security that you want, and so
Speaker 1: you're putting a little money away in an IRA or
Speaker 1: four one K. You're taking the basic steps to protect
Speaker 1: yourself financially and to build, and part of that should
Speaker 1: also be on your to do list. Establishing a will

Speaker 1: not matter to the left. This young man Dante right,
Speaker 1: does not matter to the left. Brianna Tayl These people don't.
Speaker 1: These people do not matter to the left. These are
Speaker 1: pawns for their agenda. And you know it's so funny
Speaker 1: because every once in a while they say the quiet
Speaker 1: part out loud, these leftist politicians in these leftist political commentators,
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, they say the quiet part out loud. Basically.
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Mater Mayor Jacob Fry said that he's getting slammed
Speaker 1: for this. He said that George Floyd's death quote will
Speaker 1: have bettered our city. He's at George Floyd's death will
Speaker 1: have bettered our city. White liberals. I'm telling you, they
Speaker 1: are literally something else. This was the same Minneapolis mayor,
Speaker 1: by the way, um that that totally got cooked by
Speaker 1: a mob of BLM protesters last summer. They basically told
Speaker 1: him he was trying to talk to them, he was
Speaker 1: trying to empathize with them, he was trying to do
Speaker 1: all of these things that that week leftist politicians that
Speaker 1: are run by the mob due and he tried to
Speaker 1: apologize for him, and he basically got cucked that. He
Speaker 1: basically got ran out, ran out of all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's that's who Jacob Fry is. He's he's weak,
Speaker 1: he's a cock. You know, Uh, this stuff is happening
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. His city was burned down. Basically, George Floyd's
Speaker 1: death will have bettered our city. No, George Floyd's death
Speaker 1: and everything that that was behind it has destroyed Minneapolis
Speaker 1: to the tune I believe it was fifty five million
Speaker 1: dollars with the property damage. I went into this um
Speaker 1: on my podcast episode this week, I have a podcast,
Speaker 1: Rob Smith is problematic. I got into that. So, no,
Speaker 1: George Floyds that then not better their city, it actually
Speaker 1: destroyed their city. This entire situation, this entire media moment,
Speaker 1: has destroyed the city to the tune of fifty five
Speaker 1: millions of dollars fifty five million dollars in property damage.
Speaker 1: And what people do not realize when it comes to
Speaker 1: all of this stuff is that that fifty five million
Speaker 1: dollars in property damage, that stuff keeps ongoing generationally. Right
Speaker 1: I was on the ground in Minneapolis last summer. I
Speaker 1: went there right after the protests. I personally, throughout my
Speaker 1: social media following, I felt so strongly about what was
Speaker 1: going on in Minneapolis. I raised like one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars, you could look it up, one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand dollars to help rebuild Minneapolis. The bulk
Speaker 1: of that money went to an organization called the I
Speaker 1: believe it's called the Lake Street Council in Minneapolis. So
Speaker 1: we raised about one hundred and thirty thousand dollars that
Speaker 1: went to the Lake Street Council to build up Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: When you walk down the streets in Minneapolis, it is like,
Speaker 1: and guys, let me tell you something. I told you.
Speaker 1: I'm in a Rockwar veteran. It was like it was
Speaker 1: like being in Baghdad. I had never seen anything like this.
Speaker 1: I'd never seen anything like this. You walk down the streets,
Speaker 1: the Walgreens is completely bombed out. There was a target
Speaker 1: that was bombed out. If you get deeper into my
Speaker 1: social media, I'm on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at Rob
Speaker 1: Smith online. If you get deeper into that, I took
Speaker 1: a video inside the target as it was being ramsacked.
Speaker 1: Wendy's gone, AutoZone, gone liquor store, gone, a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of local bars, restaurants, clubs, this whole strip completely gone,
Speaker 1: completely decimated, right, And so ask yourself why you never
Speaker 1: see these images. The only thing that the mainstream media
Speaker 1: is going to want to show you that is coming
Speaker 1: out of Minneapolis is that George Floyd Memorial, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, when you watch local news reports there, people
Speaker 1: that live in that neighborhood say that area is not
Speaker 1: safe at night. So that's all you'll ever see from
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. But you will not see the streets
Speaker 1: that are completely bombed out. It is insane. And what
Speaker 1: happens with that is that it affects businesses in the future.
Speaker 1: It stops them from wanting to open up there. It
Speaker 1: stops people from wanting to live there, and who is
Speaker 1: affected by these riots, these bible and protests to the
Speaker 1: tune of millions of millions of dollars. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something in ain't white liberals all right? Because white
Speaker 1: liberals do not live here in these neighborhoods. It is
Speaker 1: always black people. It is always Black Americans that are
Speaker 1: bearing the brunt of this stuff. It is Black Americans
Speaker 1: who now have no Walgreens, have no auto zone, have
Speaker 1: no target. It happens all the time. Even I think
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, probably probably last week, people
Speaker 1: were re looting the dollar tree in the neighborhood. And
Speaker 1: so now how these people have martyred a man who
Speaker 1: is basically look George Floyd was a common criminal. This
Speaker 1: man committed armed robberies. He held a gun to a
Speaker 1: pregnant woman's stomach in one of them. This is a thing.
Speaker 1: This man had a golden casket funeral. This man is
Speaker 1: being martyred. This man is being immortalized as some sort
Speaker 1: of patron saint of black history. There are people, and
Speaker 1: I am not kidding you guys with this, There are
Speaker 1: people that are getting baptized at the George Floyd memorial
Speaker 1: because this is how little people like Jacob Fry and
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and all these people, this is what they
Speaker 1: truly believe about black people. This is what they think.
Speaker 1: I am honestly sick and tired of this, and honestly
Speaker 1: so is Candis Owens, and she has come under fire
Speaker 1: for some statements that she made about this whole thing
Speaker 1: and about the trial in general. Pike at twenty. This
Speaker 1: was not a trial about George Floyd or Derek Schouven.
Speaker 1: This was a trial about whether the media was powerful
Speaker 1: enough to create a simulation and decide upon a narrative
Speaker 1: apps in any facts, whether it was powerful enough to
Speaker 1: repeat showing and talking about a nine minute clip that
Speaker 1: came from somebody's cell phone without adding any context, without
Speaker 1: showing the full you know, the full police video, which
Speaker 1: they could have released. They refused to release the full bodycam,
Speaker 1: which would have added more clarity to the fact that
Speaker 1: the media was lying. You know, the media came out.
Speaker 1: Let's not forget this sucker. The media came out and
Speaker 1: told us that this was a man who was just
Speaker 1: getting his life together. He was a good, you know,
Speaker 1: good member of society, and he got mixed up because
Speaker 1: a racist white police officer had it out for him
Speaker 1: and killed him. All of that fell apart, all the
Speaker 1: facts came out, and all of that fell apart. We
Speaker 1: now know, of course, that he had enough fentinel in him.
Speaker 1: It was three times the lethal dosage three times Lethenotians
Speaker 1: in him when he died. But nobody cares because the
Speaker 1: media was successful and putting out a narrative and they
Speaker 1: kept hitting that narrative. And the reason why the Democrats
Speaker 1: are happy is because they realized, of course the media
Speaker 1: supports them, and now means the Democrats can get whatever
Speaker 1: they want because they can create a narrative, and then
Speaker 1: they can treat people like pawns and get them to
Speaker 1: basically say, if we don't get what we want, we
Speaker 1: will riot, we will loot, we will send these people
Speaker 1: out like soldiers to destroy your neighborhoods. And that is
Speaker 1: exactly what has happened. That has been the determination of
Speaker 1: this trial. The media and the Democrats now have enough
Speaker 1: power to bully, to bully, and to lie to and
Speaker 1: to create propaganda and to successfully win. And that is
Speaker 1: what happened and they are celebrating that win today. This
Speaker 1: was not a fair trialing one so old person can
Speaker 1: say this was a fair trial. And I mean, of course,
Speaker 1: of course she's absolutely right, of course she is. But
Speaker 1: you know that's the thing. You know, you're quote unquote
Speaker 1: not allowed to say that. And of course, you know,
Speaker 1: Canada started trending and they were calling her, you know,
Speaker 1: all sorts of names, you know, whatever they call you know,
Speaker 1: black conservatives that don't kind of like Towe this liberal line.
Speaker 1: And when we come back from the break to wrap
Speaker 1: at least this part of this up, I want to
Speaker 1: play you what they are saying that they people are
Speaker 1: basically saying that this is just life in America for
Speaker 1: all black people. I reject it, and I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you why after the break. And So there's this idea
Speaker 1: that this George Floyd k Is Derek Choven all of
Speaker 1: this other stuff. There's this idea that black Americans just
Speaker 1: exist in this world in which this could happen to
Speaker 1: us at any moment. So since I'm a black man,
Speaker 1: I exist in this world that I can literally walk
Speaker 1: out of the house and you know, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: get gunned down by police, police officers. So I want
Speaker 1: you to play um. I want you to play cut
Speaker 1: five for me in a second. This is Marilyn Mosby.
Speaker 1: This woman is she is the state's attorney for Baltimore, Maryland,
Speaker 1: and this is what she has to say about all this.
Speaker 1: It was thanks to that video that visually depicted George
Speaker 1: Floyd being calllessly murdered on camera that could not be contradicted.
Speaker 1: And while I understood the prosecutor's argument to the jury,
Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly disagreed that what Derek Chauvin did was not
Speaker 1: policing in America, because what Derek Chauvin did to George
Speaker 1: Floyd is absolutely policing in America for black people in
Speaker 1: this country. The infliction of as excessive force, the violation
Speaker 1: of de escalation policies, the refusal to render aid, the
Speaker 1: complete and utter indifference to the lives of black people
Speaker 1: is exactly what policing has been and continues to be
Speaker 1: for America and in America for black people. So, yes,
Speaker 1: Derek Chauvin was on trial, but so was policing in America.
Speaker 1: So this is a lie, This is a fallacy. This
Speaker 1: is something that is not true, the lie that this
Speaker 1: kind of aggressive over policing, And like I said before,
Speaker 1: it was this was aggressive, Okay, it was. It was
Speaker 1: criminal in some ways, like what Derek Chauvin did to
Speaker 1: George Floyd was criminal. I've never denied that, nor has
Speaker 1: any other conservative. Is anybody else left or right in
Speaker 1: this country. Nobody's denied that. But this idea that the
Speaker 1: reality for life of life for black people in America
Speaker 1: is just to be aggressively over police is one that
Speaker 1: I strongly object to, right And so this media culture,
Speaker 1: this is dangerous. And let me tell you something. This
Speaker 1: media culture with people like you know, Marylyn Mosby, with
Speaker 1: people like Bacari Sellers, people like all of these people
Speaker 1: who basically live these people live in gated communities. I
Speaker 1: think Marylyn Mosby bought like two houses in Florida to
Speaker 1: the tune of a million dollars combined, something like that.
Speaker 1: So these people live in gated communities, have security. These
Speaker 1: people are operating at the top levels of American society.
Speaker 1: And what they will have, these brain dead liberals and
Speaker 1: some of their brain dead followers believe is that every
Speaker 1: black person lives in this world in which they could
Speaker 1: just be gunned down by police officers. That is just
Speaker 1: not true. And this is a dangerous message to all
Speaker 1: of America, but particularly to Black America. And this is
Speaker 1: a dangerous media culture. It engenders hatred for police officers
Speaker 1: among African Americans and the BLM culture that says that
Speaker 1: in no circumstances should they ever use force, not even
Speaker 1: when lives are at risk. Every time something like this happens,
Speaker 1: if there's a shooting and something like that, oh well,
Speaker 1: you know, use shoot him in the leg, or shoot
Speaker 1: them in the fire, you know, shoot the knife out
Speaker 1: of the hand or something like that. These things are
Speaker 1: not the reality of police officers. And did an interview
Speaker 1: with a man named Brandon Tatum from my podcast earlier
Speaker 1: this week that'll be out in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: and he was a police officer and he talked about this,
Speaker 1: and this was very interesting. I'm a veteran, you know,
Speaker 1: I served in the military, but I wasn't a police officer,
Speaker 1: and it was very enterting. He said, in your training,
Speaker 1: you are taught to aim center mass because that is
Speaker 1: the largest area of target that you can hit, because
Speaker 1: if you try to hit a hand or a knee
Speaker 1: or something like that, you're gonna shoot somewhere else. And
Speaker 1: you know, you canna have a straight bullet and that
Speaker 1: could possibly kill somebody, right, And so they're not taught
Speaker 1: to speak like this. And furthermore, the most aggressive cop
Speaker 1: haters the people that are taught to hate the police more.
Speaker 1: These are the people that are brainwashed by these brain
Speaker 1: dead liberals, and they are taught to be aggressive cop haters.
Speaker 1: And they're living in communities that are over police because
Speaker 1: of the simple fact that they are so crime written.
Speaker 1: And people that actually live in these communities do not
Speaker 1: want to defund the police. People that actually live in
Speaker 1: these communities do not want less police. They want more policing.
Speaker 1: But you will never hear their stories or their messages
Speaker 1: on the mainstream media because that is not what the
Speaker 1: mainstream media wants. New York One, I believe that it
Speaker 1: did a story where they went to some of these
Speaker 1: neighborhoods deep in Brooklyn and New York because there are
Speaker 1: areas in New York that are that I'm telling you
Speaker 1: that you do not ever want to go to, Okay, Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: ain't Park Slope, Okay in downtown Brooklyn. Brooklyn gets very real.
Speaker 1: And they went to that area of Brooklyn and they
Speaker 1: would they ask these people if they wanted more or
Speaker 1: less police. They always said more police because they know
Speaker 1: how dangerous these communities can be, and when they are
Speaker 1: less police on the streets, it is more dangerous for
Speaker 1: hardworking people of all races, but particularly hardworking African Americans
Speaker 1: that live in these communities. And so I want you
Speaker 1: to look at all of these BLM cases. Look at
Speaker 1: George Floyd, look at Jacob Blake, look at Dante right.
Speaker 1: These are all people with lengthy criminal records that put
Speaker 1: them into the position to have police interactions. And these
Speaker 1: people were taught to be a to police officers, and
Speaker 1: they were being taught to hate the cops, and they're
Speaker 1: being taught that they can, in Dante Wright's case, literally
Speaker 1: literally try to resist, push that woman off of him,
Speaker 1: and drive away. This is what they're being taught by
Speaker 1: people who do not live in these communities, who do
Speaker 1: not really care about these communities. And this is not
Speaker 1: to say that criminals deserve to die. Again, I am
Speaker 1: not saying that. I feel like every time you have
Speaker 1: a conversation about this that is right of center, people
Speaker 1: want to try to make it seem like you think
Speaker 1: that people deserve to die. That is not the case.
Speaker 1: But to people like Maryland Mosby, the States Attorney for Baltimore, Maryland,
Speaker 1: which is, by the way, one of the most corrupt,
Speaker 1: crime ridden, and dangerous places for black people in all
Speaker 1: of America, can never say what I am saying to
Speaker 1: you because she has gotten too wealthy and too powerful
Speaker 1: off of that system that tells young black people to
Speaker 1: hate the police, that their lives are in constant danger.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, vote for the Democrats because
Speaker 1: we will save you and we will keep you safe.
Speaker 1: It is nonsense. It is nonsense. It makes no sense.
Speaker 1: And she does this in other people like her. They
Speaker 1: all do this because they profit and get rich off
Speaker 1: of pushing the false narrative that the only factor in
Speaker 1: these deaths is white racism and racist white police officers.
Speaker 1: And that's false. And when you want to talk about
Speaker 1: profiting off of this narrative, let's talk about the co
Speaker 1: founder of Black Lives Matter in Comtris Colors, thirty seven
Speaker 1: years old. Now, she was just put on blast by
Speaker 1: the New York Post for having a real estate portfolio
Speaker 1: to the tune of three and a half million dollars. Now,
Speaker 1: this includes a one and a half million dollar house,
Speaker 1: and I believe it's to paying a Canyon, Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: with a population that is one percent one point eight
Speaker 1: percent black, by the way, so she's definitely with her people.
Speaker 1: There a house in Georgia that has its own private
Speaker 1: airplane hangar, and a couple of other properties. Right, So
Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself who is really benefiting from
Speaker 1: pushing this agenda, And of course you tried to clean
Speaker 1: it up and she said, oh, well, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I've never took any money from BLM. But that's not
Speaker 1: the point, because she is being paid handsomely via book deals,
Speaker 1: via speaking engagements, of via development deals with Hollywood and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Because you have to understand that Hollywood
Speaker 1: is on all this stuff as well, and they cannot
Speaker 1: wait to find people that are going to push that
Speaker 1: agenda because they will be rewarded handsomely. And so the
Speaker 1: people that are benefiting from this agenda light Beatrice Colors
Speaker 1: to the two and three and a half millions dollars
Speaker 1: in real estate. God knows how many tens of millions
Speaker 1: she has accumulated at this point. This is coming at
Speaker 1: the expense of the real, actual Black people that have
Speaker 1: to live in the neighborhoods that are being destroyed by
Speaker 1: bill in protests. So when you think about people that
Speaker 1: are profiting off of this, and think about people that
Speaker 1: are really hurting because of this, think about that you're
Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure you
Speaker 1: subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio act or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. I'm worried about all the federal
Speaker 1: government spending that's going on, no question, and I don't
Speaker 1: trust this bid administration one bit. But given the way
Speaker 1: the Fed's been acting and the fact that we're going
Speaker 1: to be coming out of lockdown, maybe we could be
Speaker 1: in for a really historic boom in the stock market. Still.

Speaker 1: So now as we again enter into the summer of love,
Speaker 1: another summer of love, which by summer of love, I
Speaker 1: mean another summer of race, riots, protesting, all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: There's another shooting that is getting a lot of attention
Speaker 1: right now, and I just want to break down how
Speaker 1: manipulative the media is when it comes to things like this,
Speaker 1: And so I'm gonna give you a little background in
Speaker 1: the shooting. There's a young lady named Makayah Bryant that
Speaker 1: was shot and killed by a police officer in Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 1: And when I saw this, I am from Ohio. I'm
Speaker 1: proud to be from Ohio. Ohio gave me my values.
Speaker 1: And when I saw this video, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you know, or just when I saw the case, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my God, not Ohio, Like I really need to
Speaker 1: see what's happening here. And we are at the point
Speaker 1: right now where when I see person shot by black
Speaker 1: person shot by white police officers stories, I'm just automatically
Speaker 1: critical because there's autumn, there's always more to the story, right.
Speaker 1: So this is the background to this Macaiah Brian case.
Speaker 1: So this is a black girl that was in foster care,
Speaker 1: was in foster care, was in some kind of altercation
Speaker 1: with another young lady in the front of her house
Speaker 1: in Columbus, was shot by a police officer four times. Right,
Speaker 1: So this child with this kid, this is she was
Speaker 1: sixteen year oldl She was shot by the police officer
Speaker 1: four times. Now, when you listen to that, you are
Speaker 1: absolutely horrified because you think, oh my god, what could
Speaker 1: have possibly happened? And it turns out when the body
Speaker 1: cam comes out that this young lady had a knife.
Speaker 1: She was in a fight with another girl. She pushed
Speaker 1: the girl to the ground. She had a knife and
Speaker 1: was literally when you see this footage, she is about
Speaker 1: ready to plunge this knife into this other girl, this
Speaker 1: other black girl, by the way, before the cops shot her.
Speaker 1: So the cops shoots are four times. She dies. Unfortunate,
Speaker 1: and it is an awful, awful, awful situation. It's very unfortunate.
Speaker 1: So my question is that you have to shoot her
Speaker 1: four times? I don't know. I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on in that police officer's mind, right, but that's what
Speaker 1: we know when we see the bodycam footage. And so
Speaker 1: this is what the media. This is how the media
Speaker 1: reports this stuff. When it first happens. Okay, so this
Speaker 1: is the New York Post, and I'm gonna this is
Speaker 1: the headline. Mom of Ohio teen girl fatally shot by
Speaker 1: cops speaks out, I want answers. So this is the
Speaker 1: first thing people see, and you know, she says that
Speaker 1: the daughter was loving and peaceful in all of this
Speaker 1: other stuff. And so this is what we're getting from
Speaker 1: the mainstream media because they know that they know that
Speaker 1: this is a narrative that can work for them. And
Speaker 1: in fact, you know, the the usual suspects, the usual
Speaker 1: race hustlers hopped on this. M Benjamin Crump, the ambulance
Speaker 1: chasing attorney who's made millions of millions of dollars off
Speaker 1: of representing BLM case. These are basically shakedowns of local governments,
Speaker 1: you know, get millions of millions of dollars. So he
Speaker 1: tweets out, Oh it just you know, uh, this is
Speaker 1: starting all over again, and an unarmed black girl has
Speaker 1: been shot by police officers. Obviously, this tweet goes around
Speaker 1: the world, that goes viral, blah blah blah. This this
Speaker 1: young lady was not unarmed. She had a knife. She
Speaker 1: had a knife was about to physically attack a young woman.
Speaker 1: That knife could have gone into her throat, that knife
Speaker 1: could have gone into her chest, that knife could have
Speaker 1: gone into her stomach. We do not know. All we
Speaker 1: know is that when you watch the footage, this sixteen
Speaker 1: year oldld was was stopped from stabbing another girl. And
Speaker 1: so now that we see all this stuff, now that
Speaker 1: we know the truth, the narrative is still stronger than
Speaker 1: the truth. And I'm just gonna give you an example
Speaker 1: of this is what people are saying about this. This
Speaker 1: is this is the era that we're in right now,
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, guys, we live in clown world.
Speaker 1: We live in absolute clown world. And this is what
Speaker 1: people say. So this is from a woman named Brete Newsome.
Speaker 1: Brian Newsome is a far far left race hustler who
Speaker 1: went viral. She climbed the flagpole in South Carolina and
Speaker 1: took down the Confederate flag. Yeah. I'm not a fan
Speaker 1: of the Confederate flag. I thought it was a pretty
Speaker 1: cool moment, you know whatever. But she has become a
Speaker 1: you know, a far left race hustler. So this is
Speaker 1: what she does. And she tweeted teenagers have been having fights,
Speaker 1: including not but sorry, teenagers have been having fights, including
Speaker 1: fights involving knives, for eons. We do not need police
Speaker 1: to address these situations by showing up to the scene
Speaker 1: and using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y'all
Speaker 1: need help. I mean that sincerely, and by y'all need help,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm assuming that she means the people that
Speaker 1: think that don't think that teenage girls should just be
Speaker 1: allowed to have knife fights without police altercations. I guess
Speaker 1: we are the people that need help in the eyes
Speaker 1: of this woman. This from Valerie Jarrett. Valerie Jarrett obvious
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful women in America, probably in
Speaker 1: the world. A black teenage girl named Makaya Bryant was
Speaker 1: killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her
Speaker 1: multiple times in order to break up a knife fight.
Speaker 1: Demand accountability, fight for justice, hashtag black lives matter of course.
Speaker 1: So this is what we are getting from these people.
Speaker 1: And this is the point of time where I wonder
Speaker 1: if I really am living in clown world, where I
Speaker 1: really I wonder if we are really living in a
Speaker 1: world in which we have some of the most powerful
Speaker 1: and influential people in society basically saying that you know
Speaker 1: those teenagers were just fighting with knives ahead and let
Speaker 1: him fight, go ahead, and let them fight, go ahead,
Speaker 1: and let that girl, you know, stop the other girl
Speaker 1: whatever you know, just pays her pull her off, like
Speaker 1: do what you can. And so the accountability again is
Speaker 1: always on these police officers and it's never on the
Speaker 1: actions of the people that are involved in this stuff.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that kills me. And again I
Speaker 1: have to say over and over and over again that
Speaker 1: these people do not deserve to die. That is not
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But this is insanity, This is craziness.
Speaker 1: And instead of having the conversation and sort of breaking down,
Speaker 1: at what point, at what point does the degregation of
Speaker 1: the family, At what point is this person so troubled
Speaker 1: that you have a teenage girl that's getting into a
Speaker 1: knife fight. Nobody wants to ask those questions. And by
Speaker 1: the way, when we're speaking of this, nobody even knows
Speaker 1: the name of the young lady whose life was saved,
Speaker 1: the young lady who was about to get that knife
Speaker 1: in her throat or her stomach or her chest. Nobody
Speaker 1: knows who that person is. Nobody knows how she feels
Speaker 1: about this, Nobody knows how she feels about that cop
Speaker 1: basically saving her life. Nobody. Nobody knows about that, nobody
Speaker 1: because that does not fit the narrative and the narrative
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the narrative is something that I'm over.
Speaker 1: The narrative is something that is something that I am
Speaker 1: tired of. This, This narrative has to end. We have
Speaker 1: to start demanding more from people. We have to start
Speaker 1: demanding more from police officers in a lot of these cases. Absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: the woman that killed Dante right, she's immediate. She should
Speaker 1: never wear a badge again. Chauvin obviously used very, very
Speaker 1: excessive for us. When it comes to George Floyd. Could
Speaker 1: this person that that shot mcay brian, could he have
Speaker 1: tasted or whatever. I don't know. I'm not in that situation.
Speaker 1: But at a certain point we have to look in
Speaker 1: the mirror and talk about exactly what is going on
Speaker 1: in some of these communities that lead to this. And
Speaker 1: this is the conversation that the left can never has.
Speaker 1: And so as soon as someone on the right says it, now, look,
Speaker 1: if a white person on the right says it, they're racist.
Speaker 1: If a black person on the left says it, they're
Speaker 1: Uncle Tom. You know it, just at a certain point
Speaker 1: we are going to have to come back to reality
Speaker 1: when it comes to the situation of you know, this
Speaker 1: sort of balm violence and in this police violence and
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. And at a certain point we
Speaker 1: have to hold the media accountable for this. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you why and how we need to
Speaker 1: do that after the break. All right, guys, if you
Speaker 1: are just joining us, my name is Rob Smith. I
Speaker 1: am filling in for Buck Sexton. You can find me
Speaker 1: on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at Rob Smith on line
Speaker 1: and my podcast is Rob Smith Is Problematic. You can
Speaker 1: find that wherever you get your podcasts. So let's get
Speaker 1: into the media's culpability and all of this stuff, and
Speaker 1: let's get into how some of the most influential people,
Speaker 1: influential African Americans in American society keep on pushing a
Speaker 1: negative message. So I'm gonna tell you a little story.
Speaker 1: I used to be a I'm a recovering journalist. I
Speaker 1: actually have a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.
Speaker 1: I've worked the media industry. I've written for a CNN,
Speaker 1: I've done stories and reporting for NBC News Digital. I
Speaker 1: did it like gehhoo news or whatever. I did it
Speaker 1: all all right. So when I go in my media
Speaker 1: bashing mode, I'm doing it from a place of authority
Speaker 1: because because I know what this is. And so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you a story about I graduated from Columbia
Speaker 1: Graduate School of Journalism in twenty fifteen. One of my
Speaker 1: first jobs when I got that master's degree, one of
Speaker 1: my first jobs out of school was I was a
Speaker 1: multimedia journalist for a digital media startup. And basically what
Speaker 1: this digital media startup was was they would take things
Speaker 1: that were happening in the news. I would rewrite the story.
Speaker 1: I would track it. Obviously, you know I got a
Speaker 1: great voice. He has been listening to it, hopefully, so
Speaker 1: I would I would speak out these stories, I would
Speaker 1: write it, and then we would put them out there
Speaker 1: because sometimes these stories just need video on them. In
Speaker 1: the summer of twenty sixteen, there was nothing that was
Speaker 1: spoken of more because I mind you, this was an
Speaker 1: election year. This was when all of the unarmed black
Speaker 1: person killed by police armers. This is when this really
Speaker 1: took hold. Twenty sixteen was when the narrative really started
Speaker 1: taking hold in mainstream media. Because, first of all, a
Speaker 1: lot of these mainstream media organizations saw that there was
Speaker 1: money to be made off of this. So part of
Speaker 1: my job is looking for the stories, turning them around.
Speaker 1: At this point in time, about four years ago, five
Speaker 1: years ago, coming up on and turning on these stories
Speaker 1: in the people that were my bosses at the time
Speaker 1: at this place, they could not get enough of these
Speaker 1: black people being shot by white police officers story. They
Speaker 1: could not get enough of them. I was probably doing
Speaker 1: about three four of these a day, right and that's
Speaker 1: when I started to realize that there was a financial
Speaker 1: incentive in all of this stuff from the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: There's a financial incentive in this stuff to shoot these
Speaker 1: stories out there as quickly as possible before they are
Speaker 1: given any sort of context, context whatsoever. And there is
Speaker 1: a financial incentive to this because it gets clicks, it
Speaker 1: gets views, People lovely, people are outraged by it. It's
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. And that is when I realized
Speaker 1: that summer doing these videos over and over and over
Speaker 1: and over again, and having to watch these videos Filando
Speaker 1: castile like all the like over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: and a lot of these things that when the story
Speaker 1: came out, they were irrelevant, but by the time when
Speaker 1: when the story was more reported on, it was irrelevant.
Speaker 1: But by the time I did the video and put
Speaker 1: it out, you know, I was just using what was
Speaker 1: gotten on that at the time. And the media really
Speaker 1: needs to be held accountable for this, and they really
Speaker 1: need to be held accountable for things like that New
Speaker 1: York Post article that I just shows you about that
Speaker 1: I just told you about in the last segment, Oh
Speaker 1: this mom of sling girls shot by police officers. And
Speaker 1: I think Ben Shapiro this morning he had had a
Speaker 1: written a Whington, he had a shared a Washington Post article,
Speaker 1: and he had made the point that this Washington Post
Speaker 1: article about the Macaya Bryant shooting gets through six paragraphs
Speaker 1: before it tells you that she was about to stab
Speaker 1: another young black girl in the chest. And the media
Speaker 1: has to be held accountable for this, even in PR
Speaker 1: that that bastion of of of of liberal media MPR.
Speaker 1: When they now report stories like this, they're literally adding
Speaker 1: a disclaimer. Some of these facts may end up being
Speaker 1: not true. So this is what they say. And at
Speaker 1: what point do people continue to believe these narratives? At
Speaker 1: what point? I'm very curious about that. And the only
Speaker 1: point in which we stop believing this stuff and stop
Speaker 1: being susceptible to these narratives is when we hold these
Speaker 1: people to a higher standard. If conservative media didn't exist,
Speaker 1: and if contrarian media an independent journalists, if these people
Speaker 1: did not exist, can you imagine the state our world
Speaker 1: would be in if we had to depend on the
Speaker 1: Washington Post or MSNBC or MPR to get all of
Speaker 1: our news. And imagine, by the way, and this is
Speaker 1: a case in which some of these reforms are great
Speaker 1: because now we have bodycam footage of all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: And imagine a case in which this McKay brian shooting
Speaker 1: had nobody cam footage. Think of the story that we
Speaker 1: would be getting told as Americans if that footage was
Speaker 1: not out there. So we have to hold this mainstream
Speaker 1: media accountable, and we also have to hold some of
Speaker 1: these people that are so influential accountable. Lebron James. You
Speaker 1: know that that guy has just told you about Lebron
Speaker 1: James multi millionaire. You know. Oh, I'm black and I'm
Speaker 1: being hunted in the streets. Yeah, you you live in
Speaker 1: bel Air, bro, you live you You're worth like half
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. Your house is something like eighty nine
Speaker 1: million dollars or whatever. Yeah, but you're being hunted in
Speaker 1: the streets. One of the most famous men in the world.
Speaker 1: It is ridiculous, and they use people like him to
Speaker 1: push that agenda. But he tweeted and deleted a photo
Speaker 1: of this police officer and use the hashtag accountability. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired of all this.
Speaker 1: Oh you are so tired, lebron Oh you are so
Speaker 1: very tired. No, you're not, You're not at all. You
Speaker 1: love this. It makes you relevant, It makes you feel
Speaker 1: like you're doing something when the only thing that you're
Speaker 1: doing is injecting poison into the minds of all Americans,
Speaker 1: but specifically Black Americans. And it's false. These things are fake.
Speaker 1: These are not real. And to wrap up the conversation
Speaker 1: on this, because I do not want to spend all
Speaker 1: of my time guests hosting this amazing show with you
Speaker 1: people talking about BLM stuff in BLM hoaxes and all
Speaker 1: of this stuff, I do not want to spend that
Speaker 1: time talking to you about that. To wrap this up,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give you a couple of statistics from
Speaker 1: Fox News Today. Fatal police shootings. As of April twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, black people fifty two three were unarmed, White
Speaker 1: people one hundred and nine five were unarmed. We will
Speaker 1: never hear about those white people that were that were
Speaker 1: shot by the police officer unarmed, because that's not clicks,
Speaker 1: that's not stories, it's not black pain. This is what
Speaker 1: these people like you know that that doesn't get clicks,
Speaker 1: that doesn't feel the narrative, right, So this stuff in
Speaker 1: this narrative, This is a narrative that is used to
Speaker 1: divide America. People like George Floyd and all of these
Speaker 1: other people are being martyred to sell an agenda. And
Speaker 1: the last thing they have to say about this is
Speaker 1: people Black Americans, White Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans. Gag stray,
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. People need to wake
Speaker 1: up to this agenda because this agenda is designed to
Speaker 1: do nothing but keep us at each other, at each
Speaker 1: other's throats. This agenda is designed to do nothing but
Speaker 1: to destroy America, which is exactly what these leftists want.
Speaker 1: This is exactly what the Communist Party of China wants.
Speaker 1: Is the Communist part Party of China laughs at us,
Speaker 1: They laugh at this Okay, they laugh at this. Wake
Speaker 1: up to the narrative, wake up to the agenda. That's
Speaker 1: all I gotta say about this. We're gonna move on.
