WEBVTT - Buck’s First Thoughts - DeSantis Is Not Tired Of Winning 

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>This is Buck's first thoughts, the news you need to

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>your podcasts. It has been one year since the killing

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of George Floyd. We have a police officer who has

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>been convicted of murder in that incident, and today the

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>White House is meeting Joe Biden, the President of the

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>United States, is meeting with the Floyd family. And we

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>are told, and there are countless editorials, articles, commentaries, we're

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>told that this is a moment that we're supposed to

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>take a step back and think about how we could

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>reform policing and the defund the police movement. We should

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>consider that. That's where we are right. We're one year

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>into this, and the narrative at the left, the Democrats

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>want you to believe is that George Floyd's George Floyd's

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>memory led to the BLM movement, which brought about greater justice.

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what they want you to think. That's the story.

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the dominant narrative. That there's racist policing in America

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>where in a systemically racist society, and the BLM movement

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>is addressing that and has for the last year, and

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>there are things to point two to say we're successful

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in that regard. Unfortunately, the reality of the BLM movement

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and its usage of the George Floyd incident as an

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>inciting moment to go for BLM two point zero is

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that Black Lives Matter has made everything worse for everyone,

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>which I was saying almost exactly a year ago, just

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks from now, if you were to go

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>back and listen to this show, that was my assessment

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>then as the riots tour through cities as police or

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>being assaulted and mobbed and pelted and ridiculed spat on,

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>this was going to be bad for America, and it

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>would be bad for the black and black, black and

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 1>brown communities that we are told are the whole reason

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.399
<v Speaker 1>for the defund the police movement, right, that it would

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>actually make things worse for everyone, including in predominantly minority

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>areas of the country where there is a high crime

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>where there is sometimes a high crime rate. Right, That's

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>what we are looking at right now. What has been

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the reality of the last year. And I have to

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 1>point now as we are in this martyrdom worship of

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the Floyd memory, which is really what's going on here.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>They have elevated George Floyd as a symbol, a global symbol.

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>In fact, this was a man who, yes, our courts

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>found was the victim of police police excessive force and murder.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>That is where the process stands right now. There was

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>a murder conviction, as we know. There may be an

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>appeal we shall see. But that individual, George Floyd, was

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>also somebody who pointed a loaded gun at the belly

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>of a pregnant woman during a home invasion, had a

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>long criminal history, and was someone used to resisting arrest.

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's not to say that what happened to him

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>is in any way justified in that incident, but it

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>is to say that picking this individual as a martyr

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>for a movement is worthy of scrutiny, And I would

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>say criticism. I would say, why is it that it

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>is in these instances, these cases that we see, whether

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>it's Mike Brown or George Floyd, where law enforcement interaction

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>with somebody who was engaged in criminal activity and then

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a dispute over the level of force use. That's

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>always the choice. It's not incidents where there actually is

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>what seems to be a clear it's not always, at

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>least focused on instance where there's a clear murder by police,

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>which does happen, although very very rarely, which if we're

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>going to have a serious and honest conversation about this,

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.359
<v Speaker 1>you have to look at the numbers, the facts, the figures.

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>It is incredibly rare for anyone to be murdered by

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a police officer in this country. There are, and I'm

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>telling you the truth, this is serious. There are more

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>people killed every year by beastings. Then there are people

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>who are unarmed and murdered by police in an incident

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>where the police officer is not using forcer appropriately. I

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>think there were unarmed black men in the last year

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>for which we have statistics, which would be twenty nineteen.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>At this point, there were about nine or was it

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>fourteen that were killed that entire year by police in

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>an incident that may still have been lawful. But you

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>can't look at the numbers and come away from the

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>saying anything other than why so much exaggeration of this

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>as a concern in society. Why is that we can't

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.479
<v Speaker 1>just treat each of those individual cases as worthy of

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>due process and the legal system and let the facts

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.919
<v Speaker 1>bear out and any officer who exceeds exceeds the lawful

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>use of force should be held to full account. No,

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a narrative, you see. The narrative is that cops

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>are racist, cops are bad, and if only we would

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.799
<v Speaker 1>defund police, we would have a better society, a better country.

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>That's madness, and we now see what's going on as

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 1>a result of it all across the country. A really

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>powerful editorial in the Wall Street Journal today from Heather McDonald,

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the author of The War on Cops, and she writes

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that nineteen children in Minneapolis have been shot this year.

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Remember Minneapolis is where the George Floyd incident happened, an

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>increase of one hundred and seventy one percent over the

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>same period in twenty twenty. Their relatives wonder where the

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>protesters are. Quote, why ain't nobody mad about a ten

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>year old my grandson fighting for his life, asked Sherry Jennings,

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Ladavian's grandmother at a May seventeenth mayoral event. Because a

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>cop didn't shoot him? Is that why? Miss Jennings warned

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 1>of a deadly summer for kids if the mayor and

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the police police chief don't step up. Later that day,

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Anniah Allen, six, was caught in a shootout between rival

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>gangs while in her mother's car. Annia died on May nineteenth.

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis homicides Heather McDonald writes between January first and last

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 1>week were up one hundred and eight percent with the

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>same period in twenty twenty. Shootings were up one hundred

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and fifty three percent and carjackings two hundred and twenty

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 1>two percent. The crime increase began after Floyd's death and

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>has never let up, nor has the assault on law

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>enforcement that began with the arson destruction of the third

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Precinct building on May twenty eighth, twenty twenty. Officers are

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>routinely punched, kicked, and hit with projectiles. There was a

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>near riot in downtown Minneapolis in the early hours of

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>May twenty second, following a shootout among club patrons. Two

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>people were killed in that shootout and eight wounded. Responding

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>officers called for backup across the Twin Cities at what

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the department called an exceptionally chaotic scene. The previous weekend,

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>officers were mas im pelted with rocks and debris while

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to disperse orderly crowds, so there was a movement

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>for justice that started in Minneapolis a year ago. Today,

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>has it achieved any justice? Has it done anything to

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the system? George Floyd had a trial where there was

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a trial because of the killing of George Floyd. The

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>officer was found guilty of his murder on all accounts.

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>That was what happened. Why did we need riots, Why

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>did we need mass destruction of property, arson and violence

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>across the country as part of a movement. What did

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the movement achieve? Well, we're seeing what the movement achieved

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>is more dead people are, more people raped, more people assaulted.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>This is just based on the data and numbers all

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>across the country. And the Democrats use this for mobilization

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 1>in an election year. The Democrats used this entire incident

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>for the purposes of trying to win power, and it worked.

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>All the pandering, all the nonsense from people like Pelosi,

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, sure, she's really all about the struggle. She

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>really cares a lot about what's going on in minority communities.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>No one believes that all the pandering about how cops

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>are bad, cops are evil. Senior Democrats all across their apparatus,

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't actually think that stuff is true. But they

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>say it, why because it helps mobilize the Democrat base,

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>activists and left wing voters. That there were people who

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>suffered as a result, innocent people all across the country.

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't matter that good cops, which people like Joe Biden

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 1>will say in passing, you know, most of our cops

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>are good. That good cops were defamed with all of

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>this and assaulted and attacked and undermining their jobs never

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>enters into the calculations of the left. They don't care.

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>They simply don't care. What you see all across the

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>country is what exactly what happened the last time after

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the Ferguson effect, which was coined by Heather McDonald as

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>a phrase and who wrote this excellent p in the

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Journal. There's more violence, more death, more despair,

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and it is disproportionately in minority communities. And that is

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>what has happened as a result of this movement. So

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>as we sit here on the one year anniversary of

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.079
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd, and you've a bunch of frauds and liars,

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the activists claiming that this led to a movement that

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 1>did anything other than make things worse. I just want

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 1>you to know, right away. They're lying to you. They

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>are lying. Here's what Heather rights. As lawless as Minneapolis

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>has become, it is hardly atypical a drive by shooting.

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Our drive by shootings and homicides jump nationwide during and

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>after the Floyd riots. Homicides rose fifty percent in Chicago

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty, forty six percent in New York City,

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and thirty eight percent in Los Angeles. The US are

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the largest annual percentage increase in homicides in recorded history

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty. That increase has continued in twenty two

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. The number of shooting victims in Chicago is

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>up forty three percent in the first three months of

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one compared with the same period in twenty twenty.

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Through May sixteenth, the number of shooting victims in New

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>York City is up seventy eight point six percent over

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a year ago. In the Bronx, the number is up

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seven one hundred and sixty five point

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>seven percent. We are at the one year mark of

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd's killing and the movement that it spawned, and

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>we look at that movement and the data is clear.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 1>It is a disaster. Built on misrepresentations and lies. What

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>does the White House? What do the Democrats offer as

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the reason behind the huge spike? I mean, no one

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:51.319
<v Speaker 1>can hide this data anymore. They can't argue about it nationwide.

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:58.479
<v Speaker 1>What caused the nationwide increase in violence in homicides, home invasions,

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>armed lobberies, rapes, Well, what caused all of that? Oh,

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll come up with something, I'm sure. And Jensaki

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>among the most obviously inept members of this Biden White House.

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>This is her explanation, the White House Press secretary for

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>what caused the rise in crime? Plate too? Is there

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a crime problem in this country? Well, I would say,

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>certainly there is a guns problem, and that's something the

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>President would say. And there are communities where local violence

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and community violence is an issue, and that's one of

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the reasons that we have proposed and have now are

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>implementing funding for community violence prevention programs across the country.

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I will say that we don't often highlight and you

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>just gave me the opportunity to the fact that between

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>mass shootings, mass shootings that get a lot of attention,

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>that we lower the flags. There are hundreds thousands of

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.839
<v Speaker 1>people who lose their lives, and that's one of the

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>reasons the President will continue to advocate for the Senate

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>passing back universal background checks, but also advocate for actions

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 1>and states where we have seen the greatest level of

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 1>activism over the past of early years is community violence prevention.

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.439
<v Speaker 1>She sounds like a moron. Well, there's a reason for that.

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>This is blather. This is the White House Press secretary

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>saying that there's a there's not a crime problem, there's

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a gun problem. No, there's a crime problem. A lot

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 1>of the crime Saki don't even involve guns. There is

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a crime problem in this country right now. It is

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>all heading in the wrong direction. And the reason for

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 1>that is Democrat pandering. It's Democrat pandering to victimology, identity politics,

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 1>anti cop animus. That's why this is happening. We know

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:55.679
<v Speaker 1>why it's happening, but they won't say it. No, they'd

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>rather live in this fantasy land of if only we

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>had more social workers, if only the community violence was

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>addressed differently, I got news for SAKI and all the

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>rest of the lunatic libs. Violence that occurs in the

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>context of crimes, it's not it's not a problem of

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the community. It's a problem for the community, as in

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>it is done to people who aren't committing crimes. But

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>there's no sympathy expressed here. There's no desire for immediate change,

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and that would mean change in policy to make the

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>over ninety nine percent of people who live in even

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the most high crime neighborhoods, who aren't engaged in violence

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>against the innocent. There's no consideration given for their plight,

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>no more important. Let's just paint some George Floyd murals

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>in places, put up some BLM hashtags, put up some

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>BLM black squares on our instagrams or whatever. Let's do

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>some virtue signaling. Let's put let's put Black Lives Matter

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>flags at US embassies. I saw that report from what

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>was it, the National Pulse. Right, let's tell the whole

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>world that BLM is a movement that the United States

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>government stands by. It's just propaganda. That's what really is

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>going on with the government. They won't address the real

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>problem here, which is that their undermining law enforcement because

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>there is a narrative that is very apparent on the left.

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you see and hear it all the time

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that America is a systemically racist country that our police

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 1>are in fact just the continuation of slave patrols. This

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>is what is said that the historical precursor for police today,

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>this is written about the New York Times, is slave

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 1>patrols from the anti bellam era. It's a lie, it's

0:15:54.440 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>historically ignorant, but they still say this, what do we

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>want dead cops? That was a chant that I heard.

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Pigs in a blanket, fry him like bacon. That was

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a chant that I heard from BLM protesters. And I've

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>seen the posters, the placards that they hold up at

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 1>these at these protests, and I'm not even talking about

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the riots. There is no honesty. The lib elites are

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>total frauds on this issue. They know, they know that

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>making it harder for cops to do their job, making

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>sure that people aren't signing up to beat cops. That

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the ferguson effect of law enforcement officers unwilling to get

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>involved to intervene because they don't want to risk their

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>livelihoods and their freedom perhaps means that innocent, good people

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>all across the country, black, brown, white, everybody, innocent people

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>all across the country suffer as a result of this lie.

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>We saw this all last year. It's appalling that there

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>was such an un willingness people were running scared from

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 1>the notion that BLM wasn't actually working out well. That

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>defund the police is the dumbest slogan of any political

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>movement in modern American history. Okay, I can't think of

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:19.440
<v Speaker 1>anything as stupid in my lifetime as defund the police.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 1>But this is said by people who think that they're astute,

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 1>think that they're wise on this issue. Really, what would

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.360
<v Speaker 1>happen if we really defunded police? Oh well, then they

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 1>get into it. We don't really know what defund means

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 1>yet we're still figuring it out. Well, while they're figuring

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:40.680
<v Speaker 1>it out, kids are catching stray bullets. While they're figuring

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>it out, places like Chicago and Memphis and New Orleans

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and New York and Los Angeles are having violence at

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>unforeseen levels in decades and or rather unseen in decades.

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>And what do they say in response to it. Let's

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 1>just make some more George Floyd murals. That's going to

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>solve the problem. Let's have some more professional athletes take

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.160
<v Speaker 1>a knee for George Floyd. That will solve the problem.

0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>When running a business, hr issues can kill you. You've

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 1>got wrongful termination suits, minimum wage requirements, labor regulations, and

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>HR manager salaries are not cheap an average of seventy

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars a year. That's why you need Bambi. Bambi

<v Speaker 1>on some of this stuff, it's not about hating cops.

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 1>We're not saying that the cops are the problem, but

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that is what they're saying. This is just gaslighting. That's

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>what the BLM movement claims. That is at central premise

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 1>that law enforcement is racist, that people have to be

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>scared if they are black or brown because of law enforcement.

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>This is not rooted in fact, it's not rooted in reason.

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:50.479
<v Speaker 1>It's an exaggeration of what is what are outlier events

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 1>with the millions and millions of police law police civilian

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:59.879
<v Speaker 1>interactions that are happening every year, but get rid of

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>qualified immunity. This is what we're you know, because because

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I actually do want to focus on, Okay, what does

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the BLM movement want? A lot of this is just

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 1>people that are looking for a cause. You know that

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.400
<v Speaker 1>everything you've got, you know, white liberal nineteen year old

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.199
<v Speaker 1>girls driving around in you know, Daddy's range rover who

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>are all BLM and you know, marching over there. There

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 1>are a joke. I know people like this. You've got

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.959
<v Speaker 1>thirty year old trust fund kids living in Connecticut who

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 1>were putting BLM on their Instagram page or BLM on

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.920
<v Speaker 1>their Facebook. It's virtue signaling, it's it's cool, it's a

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 1>social We see that. That's obvious, right. This is unfortunately,

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>a very effective tactic of the modern left that they

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 1>just create because they control so many the institutions of

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 1>our culture, cheap virtue out there for anyone. All you

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 1>have to do is go along. All you have to

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.719
<v Speaker 1>do is be a mouthpiece for whatever the preferred slogan

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of the moment may be. And you're showing everybody you're

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the good people. Cost you nothing, you do nothing. Okay,

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's obvious, right, we know that that. You know,

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.160
<v Speaker 1>college students or people in their twenties and thirties, gen

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Z millennials who risk nothing and do nothing and live

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>in safe neighborhoods and put out on social media how

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 1>much they care about BLM and George Floyd and in

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.119
<v Speaker 1>memory of George Floyd. We know they're a joke. They

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 1>don't care, They don't deal with the reality. This is

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 1>all about them. This is all self indulgence under the

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>cover of altruism. But it's self indulgence. So let's look

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 1>at what the actual policies are. Let's look at what

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 1>people who are involved in the movement are actually saying

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 1>should happen. Here here's Floyd family attorney Chris Stewart on

0:22:55.400 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 1>qualified Immunity Play twenty three. This is a phenomenal bill.

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Anybody that knows about policing, about civil rights, about how

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>these actually work in court, they know that qualified immunity.

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Getting rid of that, it's not going to make a

0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 1>bunch of lawyers like myself sue more cops. It's not.

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It's ridiculous because what really happens is in these cases

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>in court, cities toss the officers away so they don't

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 1>have any coverage anyway. So it's not going to make

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 1>lawyers go out and sue more cops. It's semantics. It's

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 1>because some people are just saying, I don't want to

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 1>look like I'm allowing cops to be sued, when in

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 1>reality it's not going to affect it at all of

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>getting more officers sued. So getting rid of it will

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 1>change the mentality of policing. It makes officer no, I

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.960
<v Speaker 1>can't go out there and do whatever I want, which

0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>is all the change that needs to happen. So getting

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 1>rid of it has to happen. It's not going to

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>hurt police officers. That's semantics. Oh sure, sure, it's semantics.

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>This is not true. What he's saying is, yeah, sure,

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the law would then make it so that you could

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:08.400
<v Speaker 1>sue a cop personally for doing his job at any

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>point in time. But that's not going to result in

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of lawyers suing cops unnecessarily unfairly. I mean,

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>this is honestly, this this guy is, he's this is

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a joke. This is a joke. Qualify. Why does qualified

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 1>immunity exist if it does not grant qualified immunity to

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the officers. The law is the law. But what he's

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:37.880
<v Speaker 1>saying is, well, sometimes they'll say that you went outside

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the scope of your employment and that you know you

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 1>because of your misconduct. Yeah, that's because they've decided that

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>there are limitations to qualified immunity. But the baseline standard

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:54.639
<v Speaker 1>is you can't just sue a cop directly for doing

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>his job as a person in the course of his duties.

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 1>There's a reason exists. It creates an additional barrier to

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>frivolous bs. But notice he says, yeah, it's just going

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to create a difference in perception law enforcement. Oh sure,

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>this is the Floyd family attorney, So take you know,

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what's going on here. Sure, Now, cops will

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>say I'm not going to use successive force and murder

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:23.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody because I don't have qualified immunity anymore. So, yeah,

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that's really going to change the thought process. This is

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 1>just stupid. I mean, this is a stupid comment from

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer who's not very good at the law, but

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 1>good at getting people upset, good at the narrative, good

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at making it seem like there's some intellectual merit to

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>any any of these defund the police storylines or these

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>ideas that we're gonna make everything better by getting rid

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of qualified immunity. It's stunning as this continues to play out,

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 1>that they're so little honest in the press about this.

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:05.119
<v Speaker 1>But that's where we are as a country, as a society,

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and people suffer as a result. This is not just

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 1>something that's rhetorical. This is not just some intellectual argument.

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:18.560
<v Speaker 1>There's been a huge surgeon crime in America, and it

0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:22.160
<v Speaker 1>started right when the BLM movement got going, right when

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the winds of political change came through police precincts all

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:30.360
<v Speaker 1>across the country. As in the Democrats are ascendant, they're

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.920
<v Speaker 1>calling the shots, and they're going to feed you to

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the mob the moment that it is inconvenient for them

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:39.679
<v Speaker 1>to defend you as a law enforcement officer. That's what happened.

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 1>They say, Oh, it's the pandemic that caused the surgeon violence.

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Now that doesn't stand up to a moment's scrutiny. The

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:52.399
<v Speaker 1>numbers all start to change dramatically right around now a

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>year ago. It was the ascendency of the BLM movement

0:26:56.440 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and then narrative of BLM that led to the change

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>policing that led to the huge increase in murders shootings. Remember,

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 1>for every person who's shot, there's a family that's devastated,

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a community that's devastated, there's a neighborhood that's terrified.

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Every time that happens, there's a person who loses his

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 1>or her life, and then there's also all the other victims,

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:21.080
<v Speaker 1>all the other people that have that loss. So when

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about thousands of additional homicides compared to what

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>would have been a normal year in America, that's tens

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 1>of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people directly affected and

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 1>connected to that incident of violence. So the second order

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>effects are much greater, and that we're much broader, and

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that's something that you have to remember. So the other

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>part of this, and Heather McDonald actually points this out

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 1>in her excellent Wall Street Journal piece is that no

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:58.720
<v Speaker 1>other country in the world saw a huge surge in violence,

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.160
<v Speaker 1>no other industrialized nation and saw a huge surgeon violence

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.399
<v Speaker 1>because of the pandemic. In fact, if you just think

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>about this for a second, it should be what you

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 1>saw in Canada and the UK and relative to their

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 1>normal crime rates, big drops in crime, far fewer people

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:16.679
<v Speaker 1>interacting with each other, far fewer people in the streets,

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:21.199
<v Speaker 1>more people at home, right, And so yeah, there can

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>be home invasions, but that's a that's a riskier proposition

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>for criminals, especially in countries where anybody may be armed. Right,

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>There's there's a whole less less drug dealing disputes going

0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>on all of that because you have people interacting with

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>each other, less people are locked at home. But the numbers,

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the data, the facts that don't that don't matter. In

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 1>all this, there's a storyline. The Democrats stick to it.

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats are the party of elevating victims. The Democrats

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:57.040
<v Speaker 1>are the party of helping the oppressed. The fact that

0:28:57.160 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they are creating more victims by adhering to this false

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 1>narrative doesn't matter. And that's just the cost of Democrats

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>doing business. That's just what we see happening. And pretending

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that police retraining or federal government oversight of police stations

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>looking for racism in every police department that comes up

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>on their radar, that that's going to make anything better

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>for anybody is a fantasy. We know it is absurd,

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 1>but people are scared of being called racist, They are

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 1>scared of falling on the wrong side of BLM, and

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>so so many, out of either just self advancement or cowardice,

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:44.720
<v Speaker 1>bend to knee at the altar of Saint George Floyd. Look,

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd was somebody who suffered from police excessive force,

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and an officer is now going to spend decades of

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>his life in prison for that. I also know that

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 1>there's plenty of real legal analysis out there that George Floyd,

0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the George Floyd case against Eric choven the incident of

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd's killing, his murder, is going to be appealed,

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and that we will see what ends up happening. But

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>as of right now, we have a police officer convicted

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of murder, and that is the system has spoken. Yet

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:25.960
<v Speaker 1>look at all the rest of what has happened from BLM,

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>what has the movement actually done all right. There was

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:33.440
<v Speaker 1>a trial, and if you believe that George Floyd was murdered,

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>there was justice, at least as much justice as our

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>system can give anyone. What then, for all the rest

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of it, Heather macdonaldoll just give you a little more

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 1>from her Wall Street Journal piece here. Of the one

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:50.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred homicide victims in Minneapolis since May twenty five, twenty twenty,

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>only one was killed by a cop. The victim was

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a suspected gun runner who had tried to run over

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 1>officers before shooting at them through his car window, causing

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>them to turn fire. There is little evidence that the

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis police department systemically violates black civil rights, but Attorney

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>General Merrick Garland has opened a civil rights investigation into

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the Minneapolis police department. Anyway, if history is any guide,

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the resulting descent descent decree will cause crime to increase

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>in the city as officers back off further proactive policing.

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>The victims of that additional crime increase will, as always,

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>be disproportionately black. At least three quarters of Minneapolis's homicide

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and shooting victims are black, though the city is less

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 1>than a fifth black. Sharpton and Crump have no answers

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to that dilemma, so they ignore it. The reality of

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>BLM policing in America and the epidemic of violence that

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>we are seeing. Governor Hi, I want to ask you

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 1>about the bill that you're signing here today. Here, a

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>loyal supporter former President Donald Trump, Nentrept is now a

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>resident in Florida, and he was the platform. Is the

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>bill for him? Bills for everyday Floridians. This is what

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>we said, and it would allow any Floridians to be

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 1>able to provide what they're doing. So but I think,

0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I do think that's another issue that has

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>been brought to bear when you de platform the President

0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 1>United States. But you let I a toll of Homema

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>need to talk about killing years. That is Ron Decantis

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 1>just just racking up those wins down in Florida, the

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 1>governor of Florida. He's he's not tired of winning. He's

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 1>not tired of winning. And I think we all need

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to understand that this is a guy who's showing us

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 1>what can be done at the state level. He signed

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a bill prohibiting tech platforms from suspending or banning political

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 1>candidates in the state with possible finds about the two

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty thousand dollars per day if the candidate

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 1>is seeking statewide office twenty five thousand dollars per day

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 1>at the candidate is seeking a non statewide office. This,

0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is so important to understand the implications

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of this. We already have all kinds of restrictions on

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the First Amendment that Democrats love. They want restrictions on

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>money and politics. They want restrictions on it was. It

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>was the position of the Obama administration in Citizens United

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.560
<v Speaker 1>at the Supreme Court, the Solicitor General for the Obama

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 1>administration wanted the right to be able to ban books

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>about political candidates before an election. That was the official

0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:35.719
<v Speaker 1>position of the Democrat Party under Barack Obama's time in office.

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Citizens United. All the dark money in politics, Oh my gosh,

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 1>what are we gonna do? Absurd? I work in radio.

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>They are all kinds of restrictions on radio. You know,

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the FCC, what I can say, who I can talk to,

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>equal time. There's all kinds of things there that are

0:33:55.320 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 1>already regulated. But see, the Democrats want no regulation, no

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:05.440
<v Speaker 1>touch allowed on the shoulder of big tech. Because Big

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Tech is almost entirely a left wing pack. That's what

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:16.399
<v Speaker 1>we know, that's what we see happening all the time,

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.839
<v Speaker 1>and they don't want that to change. They don't want

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>that to be any different because it is an enormous

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:26.800
<v Speaker 1>advantage for them, and look what they've been able to do. Meanwhile,

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you've got you know, Joe Scarborough, who's the ratings are

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 1>down on that show. He's just not a very smart

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 1>or a good or ethical person. That's very apparent from

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 1>what he says and does on TV all the time.

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>But he also doesn't understand the law or the constitution.

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>But this is the kind of crap you'll hear from

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 1>leftists or whatever whatever. Scarborough is a whatever whatever my

0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 1>paymasters at MSNBC, whatever, whatever coins they throw at me,

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what he'll do. And whatever they tell him to do,

0:34:55.320 --> 0:35:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what he'll say. Play nineteen. That's what's so cute

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 1>about this political stunt, this political gesture. First of all,

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it's most likely unconstitutional. It violates the First Amendment and

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 1>how a private company chooses to moderate content on their

0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 1>platform they've been Secondly, the hypocrisy of people like Run

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 1>De Santis and Josh Hawley saying they're small government conservatives

0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>who believe in free market and free enterprise and believe

0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in the power of companies to run things away they

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>want to run, deciding they are going to be used

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the power of the state to tell Facebook or to

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 1>tell Twitter how to run their First Amendment policies. It's

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 1>just that's a bizarre thing for a small an alleged

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:49.759
<v Speaker 1>small government Republican to do. You know, yeah, we're just

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 1>we're all of a sudden, he's a market absolutist, you know. Yeah,

0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:55.319
<v Speaker 1>the free bar iss to do whatever they want. First

0:35:55.320 --> 0:36:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Amendment rights. Yeah yeah, sure, Oh okay, he's on a

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 1>cable channel. There's all kinds of regulations out there about

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:09.360
<v Speaker 1>what you can do, indecency, there are all kinds of

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>restrictions on transparency and political advertising. I mean to say,

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:18.480
<v Speaker 1>just the First Amendment means when when it comes to

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Facebook and Twitter, for obvious reasons, the left takes the

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 1>position they can do whatever they want, they can do

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:27.919
<v Speaker 1>anything they want, no regularly. Oh okay, So these those

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>are the companies that have no regulation all of a sudden,

0:36:31.160 --> 0:36:34.000
<v Speaker 1>according to Left, which Joe Scarborough is a part of.

0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:35.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's just a paid hack will do whatever

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:39.880
<v Speaker 1>they want him to do. And this is so interesting.

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like I always tell you, it's just about power.

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.800
<v Speaker 1>There's no principle behind any of this. They'll say, what

0:36:45.880 --> 0:36:47.359
<v Speaker 1>do they have to say to get what they want.

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>That's the attitude of the left, that's the attitude of

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:54.360
<v Speaker 1>social justice warriors, that's the attitude of the commies that

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 1>are increasingly obviously ascendant in American public and private life.

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 1>We have people that want totalitarian left wing control of

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the government. They think that would be a better thing.

0:37:06.080 --> 0:37:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that we're there and that's what the

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 1>country is in, but that's what they desire, and whatever

0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.359
<v Speaker 1>they have to say to push in that direction they

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>will say. And people like Joe Scarborough will say it too,

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:18.600
<v Speaker 1>because you know they're paying him. We don't have enough

0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 1>data on information to jump to a conclusion at this

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 1>point in time. We have repeatedly called for the WHO

0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to support an expert driven evaluation of the pandemic's origins

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that is free from interference or politicization, and now we're

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 1>hopeful that WHO can move into a more transparent, independent

0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:39.800
<v Speaker 1>phase to investigation. I would say, in terms of the

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 1>report which was specifically about individuals being hospitalized. We have

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:47.359
<v Speaker 1>no means of confirming that or denying that. I mean,

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:49.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not a report from the United States. Thank the

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 1>journalis side of a US intelligence report, so that would

0:37:53.080 --> 0:37:54.879
<v Speaker 1>have been a US repeat. Well, I don't have any

0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't have anything more on a US intelligence report. Now,

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, and it's not clear. Now, of

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, it's not obvious that the Wuhan coronavirus came from, oh,

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, a cave somewhere. Now, all of a sudden,

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it may it may in fact be the case that

0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 1>those who were saying all along that this could have

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.400
<v Speaker 1>been the result of an error in a lab that

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>was studying it. That's not crazy, gosh. I know this

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 1>is not surprising to you and me. But it is interesting,

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:35.239
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. How much changes and how much they the

0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:39.320
<v Speaker 1>consensus fauci I had left, how much they've gotten wrong

0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:45.319
<v Speaker 1>over and over again. Here's the former Secretary of State

0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Mike Pompeo on this play twenty Someone somebody will have

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:53.879
<v Speaker 1>worked in that laboratory and will decide they can stick

0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:55.800
<v Speaker 1>out of China. I'll come tell the truth. I'm convinced

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:57.840
<v Speaker 1>but sadly, I don't think that will happen in a

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:00.719
<v Speaker 1>timely fashion. And so what's the world do? How can

0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.440
<v Speaker 1>we hold China accountable? There are many for them, and

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:05.759
<v Speaker 1>that we could do this, And why on earth would

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you join the World Health Organization, which were rewards of

0:39:08.520 --> 0:39:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese for the exact partner that they joined in

0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the cover up with right, it was doctor Tedros and

0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Chi Chingping that colluded to keep this information out of

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the hands of the world. And so there are many

0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:20.759
<v Speaker 1>things the United States government could do to impose real

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 1>cost on the Chinese Communist Party until they come clean

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 1>about what they know and what they did. We know

0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:28.840
<v Speaker 1>for sure they covered up this virus. I am confident

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that we will find that the evidence that we have

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.120
<v Speaker 1>seen to data is consistent with a lab leak, and

0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm convinced that's what we'll see. If I'm wrong, I

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:37.440
<v Speaker 1>hope the Chinese Communist Party will come forward and make

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a full oil. If they're going to hold back data,

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:41.960
<v Speaker 1>they're never going to give us full transparency. We all

0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:46.240
<v Speaker 1>know that China won't even allow its own people basic freedoms.

0:39:46.280 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 1>You think that they're really going to respond to a

0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 1>good faith of a good faith ask for data and

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:55.719
<v Speaker 1>information from the World Health Organization or the US for

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that matter. Now, I think that Mike Pompeo, I will

0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:02.399
<v Speaker 1>tell you, is overstating the leverage that the US has

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:06.279
<v Speaker 1>to get answers here. The reality is that there is

0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing that we are going to do. There's nothing we

0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 1>can do to force China to tell us things that

0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 1>would lead us to believe that they were that the

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Chinese Communist Party, that the regime was reckless in the

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:31.080
<v Speaker 1>original or in the outbreak of COVID nineteen and covered

0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:36.400
<v Speaker 1>it up that effectively their negligence caused a global pandemic

0:40:36.480 --> 0:40:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that has killed millions of people and cost trillions of dollars.

0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:43.160
<v Speaker 1>They're never going to admit that. They're never going to

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 1>give us the data to prove that or see that.

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 1>They will always, always, always tell us that this was

0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:51.960
<v Speaker 1>from bats or we don't know, or you know, whatever

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it was. That's the way this will go. So I

0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:58.279
<v Speaker 1>think that we need to understand that, yes, it is

0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:02.399
<v Speaker 1>worth pressuring China on this, but you know, there's only

0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:05.759
<v Speaker 1>so much you can do for a situation like this,

0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:09.360
<v Speaker 1>where China used this as not existential for its future,

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>but certainly a high enough priority to cover this up

0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>that nobody is going to get them to do anything

0:41:17.480 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>on this that they don't want to do. That's I

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:22.759
<v Speaker 1>think that much of it is obvious at this point.

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>But I remember when this was for conspiracy theorists and

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:31.200
<v Speaker 1>all the different news stories and all the people who

0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>were so quick to either fake certainty or to just

0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 1>why about this? You know, it's been pretty good. And

0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say Governor rom DeSantis once again desantists he's

0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:47.800
<v Speaker 1>not tired of winning Play twenty two. Now we have

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.920
<v Speaker 1>information that this very well may have emanated from the

0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:54.759
<v Speaker 1>wu Han Lab. That it was it was a leak

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 1>from the lab. But you remember when people last year

0:41:57.760 --> 0:42:01.040
<v Speaker 1>were raising that as something that needed to be investigated.

0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:05.439
<v Speaker 1>They were de platformed for talking about the lab league,

0:42:05.719 --> 0:42:09.720
<v Speaker 1>they were censored for having said that. And now even

0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Fauci admits that this may be something that very well

0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>is the case. Are they going to now censor Fauci

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and pull him down off social media? That's one of

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the things that I will not forgive or forget that

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>big tech shut down people for wrong think. But they

0:42:32.000 --> 0:42:34.239
<v Speaker 1>said it was for you know, factual and accuracies. They

0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:39.759
<v Speaker 1>brought these little, these little idiot sensor stormtroopers. Oh, the

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:43.920
<v Speaker 1>fact checkers from places like PolitiFact an embarrassment of an

0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:49.040
<v Speaker 1>organization and PolitiFact Media matters. These are places where only

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the the lamest, slimiest human beings would ever want to

0:42:54.120 --> 0:42:57.319
<v Speaker 1>spend time or draw paycheck. But that's that's what end

0:42:57.400 --> 0:43:00.640
<v Speaker 1>up happening. They outsourced their sense ship to these so

0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:04.320
<v Speaker 1>called fact checkers, and that was it. Right if you

0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:07.760
<v Speaker 1>were on the wrong side of them, Sorry, the fact

0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:13.640
<v Speaker 1>checkers have spoken. That's the way it went. And now

0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:15.879
<v Speaker 1>they're wrong. We see they're wrong on a lot of things.

0:43:16.000 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 1>They weren't actually facts. They were just opinions with the

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:23.920
<v Speaker 1>veneer of scientific consensus, and that was all that was

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:28.600
<v Speaker 1>necessary to push the whole thing through and to shut

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you down, to shut me down. I still have it.

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:35.439
<v Speaker 1>I still have PolitiFact writing an article, Oh outdoor, I said,

0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>outdoor masking is stupid. Yeah, it is stupid. I was right.

0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, it looks like the CDC. I saw some

0:43:42.480 --> 0:43:46.760
<v Speaker 1>rumor reporting the CDC may change its outdoor mask guidance

0:43:46.800 --> 0:43:50.440
<v Speaker 1>for kids at summer camps because it is so stupid

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and so unscientific and so idiotic. On every level that

0:43:56.239 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the CDC is embarrassed enough to reconsider its position on that.

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 1>But going back to the COVID origins fight, because you

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:05.800
<v Speaker 1>know that's getting a lot of attention this week, and

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:08.160
<v Speaker 1>we talked about it in detail yesterday in the show.

0:44:09.160 --> 0:44:13.200
<v Speaker 1>What is the preferred the preferred rationale now for why

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:19.960
<v Speaker 1>they all turned on the lab league theory and believed

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the came from a cave theory or the wet market, right,

0:44:24.080 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 1>came from the wet market. If that were the case,

0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:31.800
<v Speaker 1>why weren't all the cases that they initially established having

0:44:32.280 --> 0:44:34.960
<v Speaker 1>some connection to that wet market. They didn't. Some of

0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:41.080
<v Speaker 1>them had no connection. That doesn't make sense. But Maggie Haberman,

0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrat at the Democrat New York Times, wants you to

0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:49.759
<v Speaker 1>know that it's really Trump's fault play eleven. I do

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's important to remember that part of the issue

0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:55.600
<v Speaker 1>when this was first being reported on and discussed back

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:57.800
<v Speaker 1>a few months after the pandemic had begun, was that

0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>then President Trump and Mike Pompey, the Secretary of State,

0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:05.400
<v Speaker 1>both suggested they had seen evidence that this was formed

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>in a lab and they also suggested it was not

0:45:07.040 --> 0:45:10.200
<v Speaker 1>released on purpose, but they refused to release the evidence

0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:12.400
<v Speaker 1>showing what it was, and so because of that that

0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 1>made this instantly political. I think that was you example

0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:19.680
<v Speaker 1>one thousand, when the Trump administration learned that when you

0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.359
<v Speaker 1>have burned your own credibility over and over again, people

0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:24.759
<v Speaker 1>are not immediately going to believe you, especially in an

0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:28.040
<v Speaker 1>election year. However, that does not mean it's not worth discussing.

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:31.880
<v Speaker 1>There has been a sort of persistent, albeit relatively quiet

0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:35.720
<v Speaker 1>focus on whether that was the origin of the virus,

0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and it is compounded by the fact that there have

0:45:38.719 --> 0:45:41.239
<v Speaker 1>not been clear answers from Chinese officials about it, and

0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that investigators trying to find out the origin have been stymied.

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:46.839
<v Speaker 1>So I do think we're in a different period of this, John,

0:45:47.080 --> 0:45:48.759
<v Speaker 1>But I also think it's important to remember because I

0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:51.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's getting reframed in a way that's just not

0:45:51.320 --> 0:45:53.319
<v Speaker 1>true to what happened. I don't mean here, I mean

0:45:53.400 --> 0:45:56.640
<v Speaker 1>in this broader debate by Trump supporters about what happened

0:45:56.800 --> 0:46:01.759
<v Speaker 1>when this was originally raised. Okay, let's let's unpack this

0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:06.680
<v Speaker 1>for a second. Maggie Harman in in convincing and pretty

0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:10.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, pretty fluid fashion here is really just making

0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the case for yeah, we got it wrong. The media

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>got this wrong by and large, but we had to

0:46:18.680 --> 0:46:21.800
<v Speaker 1>get it wrong because Trump's such a liar that the

0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that Trump said that it came from a lab

0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:30.200
<v Speaker 1>justified us going against him, which was the media's attitude

0:46:30.200 --> 0:46:32.719
<v Speaker 1>about everything. If Trump said it, it must be wrong.

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:37.279
<v Speaker 1>But they believe it. That's actually a sound rationale. They

0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:41.520
<v Speaker 1>believe that's actually a reasonable justification for being wrong. If

0:46:41.560 --> 0:46:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump said it, it has to be incorrect. Doesn't that

0:46:45.160 --> 0:46:47.440
<v Speaker 1>tell you a lot about where they really were on this?

0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't that tell you a lot about what the media? Well,

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you already know this. I mean the media was psychotically

0:46:52.600 --> 0:46:55.480
<v Speaker 1>opposed to Donald Trump. But even on something where there

0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:59.239
<v Speaker 1>were other voices all along, there were experts who were saying, now,

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 1>this actually looked like it probably came from a lab.

0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:08.920
<v Speaker 1>They insisted on opposing that theory and discrediting And I'm

0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:10.919
<v Speaker 1>not just saying we don't think this is right, it's

0:47:10.920 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a conspiracy theory. You're a kup, you're a nut. Don't

0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:21.160
<v Speaker 1>believe it. They insisted on that because it was politically expedient.

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>This is just another data point to show you why

0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you cannot trust the corporate media. You cannot trust them.

0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:32.279
<v Speaker 1>They are not about honesty and truth and transparency. They

0:47:32.320 --> 0:47:35.600
<v Speaker 1>are propagandists. They are pushing a narrative, and they are

0:47:35.640 --> 0:47:40.360
<v Speaker 1>seeking power for their side. The most important thing this

0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 1>is if you read between the lines what you are

0:47:43.040 --> 0:47:46.600
<v Speaker 1>being told here, even by a celebrated New York Times journal,

0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>The most important thing here was opposing what Donald Trump

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:54.279
<v Speaker 1>said at the time, not getting it right because in

0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:58.800
<v Speaker 1>an election year, having Trump look like one he's correct,

0:47:58.880 --> 0:48:02.239
<v Speaker 1>but also pointing to China as the origin of this,

0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:05.239
<v Speaker 1>a country that Donald Trump was much more willing to

0:48:05.400 --> 0:48:08.239
<v Speaker 1>confront and deal with in a forceful way than his

0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:13.560
<v Speaker 1>predecessors of either party. That wasn't a narrative they wanted

0:48:13.560 --> 0:48:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to tell. It was Trump's a buffoon. He's an idiot.

0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:18.600
<v Speaker 1>He can't even he's making up things. Oh, he's making

0:48:18.719 --> 0:48:21.600
<v Speaker 1>up things about the origins of the virus, like he

0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:24.520
<v Speaker 1>makes up the injecting bleach into his veins. You are

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:26.879
<v Speaker 1>these other stupid things you hear from the journals all

0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the time. And so they got this wrong. But they're

0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:32.799
<v Speaker 1>not remorseful about getting it wrong. They just wished they

0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:38.480
<v Speaker 1>hadn't gotten so blatantly caught because what was important to

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:41.240
<v Speaker 1>get this right, to understand the truth of this virus

0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:44.640
<v Speaker 1>early on, because you can't stop the next pandemic, really

0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:46.520
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know how this one started. Right, that

0:48:46.600 --> 0:48:51.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't matter as much. Bash Trump, that was always on everything.

0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:56.680
<v Speaker 1>That was mission number one for the journos. Don't ever

0:48:56.840 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 1>forget it.
