1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end to 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: an Obama ban which prevented the transfer of surplus military 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: equipment to local police departments. President Trump, who has a 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: pen and a phone, used his pen to sign an 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: executive order, overturning Obama's decision. Now. Obama's ban was put 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: in place after the liberal activists complained the police and 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: ferguson Missouri were too militarized as they tried to quell 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: riots and protect lives and save private property from destruction. 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: He was an easy choice for Obama. Blue lives didn't 10 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: matter as much as appeasing the anticop leftists, so he 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: stopped the military from transferring surplus armored vehicles, reneaded launchers, 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: armed aircraft, bayonets, and high caliber weapons adding insult to injury. 13 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Obama warned these kinds of armaments in the hands of 14 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: law enforcement made the police look like an occupying force. 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: He said it would create more divisions with distrustful communities, 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: some of whom, by the way, we're committing vandalism and 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: arson and even murder. Now, one reason Congress initially approved 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: the transfer of surplus military gear to local cops was 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: to make sure the cops had the resources they need 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 1: to protect us and themselves from bad people, including well 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: armed terrorists and all that, and then along came Obama. 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: So it's about time that those who protect and serve 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: are given the respect they deserve and not treated like 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: they are the bad guys. We here support the lifting 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: of the Obama band
