47
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: That's too bad.

48
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: He claimed to be happy that that was the case. Well, yeah,

49
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: interesting guy.

50
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: Took a little tumble today.

51
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: Took a little tumble today, fell and then kept falling

52
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: on the floor of the event. Classic Rudy. And when

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: we went to lunch earlier and wound up in the

54
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: same room as Ted Cruz briefly, who was also at

55
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: that restaurant. A lady came up to us, a Republican

56
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: alternate delegate, and said, are you a band?

57
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: Are you musicians? You look like musicians?

58
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: Solely based off of Robert having tattoos.

59
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: I do think it was entirely based on the fact

60
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: that I have to.

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: Have We probably look cooler than anyone else here.

00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, I said, we that's the first

63
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: time you've said that to me, Garrison, and it really

64
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: you know what, I I.

65
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: Took a convention.

66
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: I took a convention publish older than my grandparents.

67
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: I will say that at this restaurant, the restaurant worker

68
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: did give us all free shots of vodka because she

69
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: said we had looked like we had had a week

70
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: and boy, how do you Is she right?

71
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure she's been having one too.

72
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was very nice. So Garon, Robert, you want

73
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: to take me we weren't together for most of today.

74
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Do you want to take me through your day? And

75
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: then I can tell you about my really fun day?

76
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: Good?

77
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll start by talking about our morning. So

78
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: yesterday was a pro Palestine march that that was Monday

79
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: from Monday ference kind of build us a march on

80
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: the RNC. It was a sizable demonstration, at least five hundred.

81
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: At least five hundred uncleared to me the exact numbers,

82
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: but not tiny march is a little bit of a misnumber.

83
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: It was located in the park that's kind of closest

84
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: to the RNC security area today. It was a very

85
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: different vibe. There were counter protesters, but there were also

86
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: like there was like a church group who was there

87
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: with signs.

88
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: It's like a Westboro Baptist church styles street preacher group.

89
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: They do not like Catholics.

90
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: They don't like gay people or Catholics, or fornication or adultery,

91
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. You know, if you can picture

92
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: the big signs that people carry around, it's.

93
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: That sounds sounds fun. Guys.

94
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: We saw an amazing T shirt today, Robert, do you

95
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: do you have a do you have a recollection of

96
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: the best T shirt that we saw today?

97
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Oh God, is that the prolapsed rectum tissue is atal

98
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: sex equals prolapsed rectum? And then wow, god, it felt

99
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: like a John quote. There was a book of the

100
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: Bible that I know does not refer directly to prolapse.

101
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: Reptive romans romans Paul, so you know.

102
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Paul was not talking about rectums.

103
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 4: Well, but Paul is the most homophobic out of all

104
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: the New Testament writers. But basically we talked to some

105
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: of these types of people gathered at this little this

106
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: little squares little park. There was maybe like one or

107
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 4: two people protesting the RNC itself, just holding signs, you know,

108
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: someone with a megaphone, But the rest of the people

109
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: gathered where these were these street preacher types. And then

110
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: we went over to this media section earlier this morning.

111
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: That's where we talked to our good are now good friend,

112
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 4: Rudy Giuliani.

113
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: So again, if you're picturing this floor, it's like a

114
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: bunch of large cubicles. So have you've ever been to

115
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: a trade show. It looks like a trade show, right,

116
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: But the cubicles is a different radio station or internet

117
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: media company. And Rudy was just sort of chilling at

118
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: a local radio station booth with Laura Lumer. When we

119
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 2: first walked up, amazing vibes, she thanked God left and

120
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: I will say Laura Lumer famous on the Internet for

121
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: looking very peculiar, one of the more normal looking people

122
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: at the RNC.

123
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: Which I don't think is a testament to how normal

124
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 4: Laura Lumer looks. It's a testament to the types of

125
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 4: people that we are seeing every day at the RNC

126
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: that everyone kind of looks a little lumor esque. Yeah,

127
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: so she looks a little bit less bizarre in comparison

128
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: to just everyone else we're seeing, who all has, you know,

129
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 4: a curious amount of facial surgeries, Yeah going on that

130
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: makes them just look just look a little different, just.

131
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: A little different. We saw the Fox News had anchored

132
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: today whose face was as smooth as a baby's ass.

133
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: It looked like carved marble.

134
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: It looked like carved marble, and was clearly bloated with

135
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 2: Bachelin toxin.

136
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: Incredible.

137
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a beautiful man, Sophie. He was a beauty.

138
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: I think he uses retinal.

139
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: He must use retinal. And he had a chin as

140
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: wide as like Glory days Bruce Campbell.

141
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: Very wide face.

142
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: I bet he never forgot to wear sunscreen, unlike you two.

143
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, kind of the last thing we did at

144
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: the convention before coming back was we had a little

145
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: conversation with Rudy primarily about Ukraine. His basic stance is

146
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: that Ukraine is stealing all of the money that the

147
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: government gives it. When I pointed out that that money

148
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: was primarily coming in military subsidies and like military weapons,

149
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: he said they were stealing the weapons and selling them.

150
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: And I asked who, and he said he didn't know,

151
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: at which point his handler got him out of there,

152
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: and we wound up walking over to the iHeart booth

153
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: where one of our coworkers, Dan O'Donnell, who's a more

154
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: conservative guy in the network, but who through a law

155
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: enforcement contact, got the story that a man had just

156
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: been shot outside of the RNC security zone, but by

157
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: police who were in town for the RNC. It wound

158
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: up that they are Columbus, Ohio police. So we rushed

159
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: down there, split up with him pretty quickly because I

160
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: think he was mostly interested and talking to the police

161
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: on scene, and we wound up right in the middle

162
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: of you know, what is the poorest neighborhood in Milwaukee,

163
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: the poorest zip code in the state, one of the

164
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: highest rates of incarceration in the country. It is a

165
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: deeply deprived area. The first guy we talked to, he

166
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: was with Lighthouse Ministries I think was the name of

167
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: the organization, which is essentially he was running like a

168
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: Christian halfway house, and we saw another larger halfway house

169
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: even closer to the shooting, Like there were two half

170
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: way houses effectively right next to each other. That's the

171
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: kind of neighborhood this was. And when we got there,

172
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: police had just started setting up cordons. They had started

173
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: it with about a block or two fenced off with

174
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: police tapes, but were widening at every few minutes. They

175
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: were adding new blocks, quickly expanding, and a large number

176
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: of cops were on scene. There were horse cops on scene.

177
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: We could not get close to them, about a block

178
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: from the site of the shooting itself, but we were

179
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: able to get into a park where there were a

180
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: lot of local people who were very angry at what

181
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: had happened. And one of the first things I encountered

182
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: was a couple of guys, you know, one of whom

183
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: was filming on his phone yell and got the police,

184
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: a couple of whom were sitting in lawn chairs, and

185
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: one of whom was speaking about like you know, who

186
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: had clearly witnessed the shooting, saying like you know, they

187
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: were just having an argument. If you'd let us the

188
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: neighborhood handle it, we would have handled it. The most

189
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: there would have been was a black guy. What the

190
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: fuck is wrong with you guys. We talked to him.

191
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: His name is Emmanual, And I'm actually just gonna play

192
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: a clip from that interview with the Manual right now.

193
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 5: Here's the on the bikes. I want to let you see.

194
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 6: So they parked in the King Center alley and they

195
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 6: were just basically patrolling, watching us, right.

196
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: So the two guys have a little about the ball.

197
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: That's about the f So they didn't really fight. Toby's

198
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: shopping Freeze shot him. They emptied the clip.

199
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 6: Every twelve officers on the bike empty their clips because

200
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,119
Speaker 6: you speak Coby.

201
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 5: Their clients.

202
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 6: And then when they were done, they're turning guns on

203
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 6: us and then now their person that's further further away

204
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 6: issue because they don't want us to tell you guys

205
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 6: what really happened when they could have Tasted and the

206
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 6: rest of them city in the jail.

207
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 5: They shot him, and they was going to shoot the

208
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 5: other guy and he ran, so they turn the guns.

209
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 6: Are about sixteen of us Robert, Yeah, yeah, so yeah,

210
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 6: they were others.

211
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: Why didn't shoot? Because I realized their guns were empty,

212
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: so they caught the backups.

213
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 6: And that's why they have more backups and more backups

214
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 6: and more backups, and that's why we are backing up.

215
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and is that the that's the plan now, is

216
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: my guest?

217
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know if they're they were the

218
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: r n C.

219
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: The yep, tear gas and masks. Well, thank you, Emmanuel,

220
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: nice to meet you. Yeah, yep, tear gas and masks.

221
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: Starting to feel like Portland again. And yeah, I would

222
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: say that what a manual said is can assistant. We

223
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: talked to two other people who had witnessed the shooting,

224
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: and then a couple other people who had been close by,

225
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,119
Speaker 2: and they all agreed with the gist of what Emmanuel

226
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: had said.

227
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: Well, and Manuel told you something before he started recording

228
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 4: there about how like they felt this was like a

229
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: very very solvable problem. Yeah, for like the community, like

230
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: this is just like an average fight that they could

231
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: they could have ended themselves. Yeah, and you know, in

232
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 4: the next hour these people would have been friends again.

233
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

234
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 4: And instead police from out of state showed up and

235
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: just started shooting.

236
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: And that is what the initial thing we heard through

237
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: our you know, coworker who was talking to law enforcement

238
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: was a man had had a knife or knives, was

239
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: brandishing them. Police told him to drop, he didn't and

240
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: they had to shoot him. Locals on scenes said police

241
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: did not tell him to drop anything, ran up and

242
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: just started shooting. And as you heard from Manual, his

243
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: experience at the event was that police then turned their

244
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: guns on the crowd, and you know, he felt threatened

245
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: deeply by this for reasons that are obvious. And I

246
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: will say that everyone we talked to in the neighborhood

247
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: had broadly consistent stories. This was not a serious fight,

248
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: This was not a thing that would have escalated to

249
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: lethal violence in the normal course of human events. But

250
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: a huge number of out of state cops rolled up

251
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: to the altercation unnecessarily and drew their guns and started shooting.

252
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: So there was a fairly nice homeless encampment. They had

253
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: a wonderful community garden, really nice garden, just like a

254
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: block away, and we figured, oh, this, this guy might

255
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 4: might have been houseless, And we started to talk to

256
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: more people who knew him, and yes, we found out

257
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: we actually walked right past his tent on the way

258
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: to the shooting. He had a tent by himself in

259
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 4: this little alleyway. I guess, Robert, you talked more to that,

260
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 4: to that guy that knew him.

261
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: I talked to a guy who knew him who he

262
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: said his nickname was Jehovah because he was at Jehovah's witness.

263
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: The guy who I was speaking to was a Muslim

264
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: and specifically stated to me, like, you know, I'm a Muslim,

265
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: he's a Jehovah's witness. But we always got along. He

266
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: was a really nice guy. He didn't deserve this like.

267
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: He wasn't a dude who generally caused problems. He was

268
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: not a dangerous person. He was maybe a guy who

269
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: was having a little bit of a heated moment with

270
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: another dude. And again there happened to be a bunch

271
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: of out of state cops who decided to make it

272
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: everyone's problem. That was his attitude. And a couple of

273
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: things were notewhere they I mean, we talked to a

274
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: woman who was kind of dropping her daughter off at

275
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 2: work who lived nearby. This is a lady who lived

276
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: in a little bit nicer of a neighborhood. She wasn't

277
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: quite there. An older black woman who was like, you know,

278
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: the cops show up to do this, but there's no cops,

279
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: Like if this had been any other time of the year,

280
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: there would have been no cops in this neighborhood ever

281
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: at all. Like they're never around when anybody wants them

282
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: to be, but they show up to kill a guy

283
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: because the RNC is in town. And that was very

284
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: much the consistent response we got from everyone in the neighborhood.

285
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: You know, we stayed there a while.

286
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what happened.

287
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: One of the things that I couldn't not notice is

288
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: once we were down in the RNC, you know, earlier

289
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: in the day, very cool, a lot of shame tall buildings.

290
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 2: When we were in that neighborhood near a fourteenth and Boulette.

291
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 4: Right outside the Martin Luther King Junior Community Center.

292
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, sun was beating down us. There was very little cover,

293
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: it was very hot. The streets were notably poor repair,

294
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: the buildings were in a lot poorer repair. But there

295
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: was actually also evidence of like street life like here,

296
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: the RNC is, all of downtown Milwaukee has been sanitized, right.

297
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: They swept encampment's close to the R and Z perimeter

298
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: and stuff people have had to move around.

299
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: And no one you encounter lives here right not during

300
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: the event, that's just the way that it goes. A

301
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: lot of the local buildings are shut down. And one

302
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: of the things that was interesting about this was the

303
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: degree to which all of these people in the most

304
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: deprived neighborhood Milwaukee had a really clear understanding of what

305
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: had happened near and around them and knew each other.

306
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: And we're talking. There were a couple of people we

307
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: saw who were going around different chunks within a block

308
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: or two of each other and clearly knew all of

309
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: their neighbors, which was, you know, very different from kind

310
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: of the vibes that we've gotten Downtown Milwaukee is as

311
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: nice as it is, and I think we've all really

312
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: enjoyed this city, one of the most segregated cities in

313
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: the country. And that was very clear because I think

314
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: there was one white person who was a resident of

315
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: the neighborhood that we talked to, that woman who was

316
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: next to the guy who knew Jehovah, And I guess

317
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: that's most of what I have to say.

318
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, more and more place kept showing up.

319
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: There was this basically like a riot squad with mace

320
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: and yah, gas masks showed up. You know, there was

321
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: biite cops, mounted patrol cops. They just they started to

322
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: flood this area. Eventually they slowly kind of you know,

323
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: dispersed out as this scene got more under control and

324
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: they realized there probably wasn't going to be a huge

325
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: protest at this location. I believe there's gonna be a

326
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: vigil tonight, Yeah, at eight pm near the side of

327
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: the shooting. So yeah, I mean it's just tough to

328
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 4: go from the RNC with you know, massive police presence

329
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 4: all of these extremely wealthy, rich white Republicans and then

330
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 4: be reminded the real people exist and yeah, put events

331
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 4: like this on people get killed by police to make

332
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: sure that that that people feel comfortable going to these

333
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: sorts of events and just completely unnecessarily.

334
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's.

335
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: That's just a good a good uh, A good reminder

336
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: every time I walk through one of these police checkpoints.

337
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Donald Donald Trump, you know, survived his brush with

338
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: the shooting. This young man didn't, and he died because

339
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: this event was set up in his town. We know

340
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: that the Secret Service and the you know, the other agencies,

341
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: because it wasn't just the Secret Service that was responsible

342
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: for Trump getting shot. There were a lot of other

343
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: law enforcement agencies there failed at their job, you know,

344
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: last Saturday to stop the former president from getting shot.

345
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: Failed very badly at that. But still at the RNC,

346
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: the only thing that the security State knows how to

347
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: do is flood the zone with cops. And the only

348
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: thing those cops know how to do is when they

349
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: encounter anything a little bit hostile, draw their guns and

350
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: empty them. You know, that was my impression, And uh yeah,

351
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: I think that's probably all we need to say about

352
00:15:59,640 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: that right now.

353
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 4: Now Sophie will tell us about her experience. As me

354
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: and Robert were walking around this side of this police

355
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: murder after this short break.

356
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: And we're back. Well, my colleagues were out on the ground.

357
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: I went to a super super fun event called Giving

358
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Americans a Voice town hall hosted by the Moms for Liberty.

359
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: It was interesting, to say the least. It was a

360
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: three hour event with various long event very long, and

361
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I recorded all of it so we can put that

362
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: out at a later date. Let me just give you

363
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: a quick rundown of what the event was.

364
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 4: And Moms for Liberty is as like a lobbying group

365
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 4: for parental Rights.

366
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: Very supportive of banning books.

367
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: Banning books, parental rights, a lot of stuff around education

368
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: in school. They they're very active in Washington. They're the

369
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: sponsor of a lot of these really really like horrible

370
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 4: bills about limiting information to children, limiting the rights of children,

371
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 4: that sort of thing.

372
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And additional sponsors for this event where Conservative Partnership Institute, Heritage.

373

Speaker 1: Five, Young America's. I can't even read this logo.

375
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 3: It's like the Young Republicans Voting Association.

376
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: Young Americans Foundation.

377
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: We did it, great job.

378
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: And Public Square, which is a very strange app and

379
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: there were three panels and some of the people that

380
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: were featured on the panel were Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida.

381
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: Sara Huckabe Sanders made an appearance, Governor.

382
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Huckabye Sanders, Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin.

383
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: The governor of Wisconsin was there.

384
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: He opened The governor, the governor of Wisconsin was there.

385
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 4: That's upsetting. He was like one of the first people

386
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: who spoke, not a senator, not the actual governor.

387
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: The forty fifth Governor, Jesus Wisconsin, Scott Walker, yes, correct,

388
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: various groups of attorneys general and get the Senator Oswell

389
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and it was it was it

390
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: was a strange event.

391
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 3: What sort of things do they talk about?

392
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Well, they started off with them giving an excuse that

393
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: the reason why that there was an attempted assassination on

394
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: former President Trump was because of the media falseley compare

395
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: hip to Hitler, to which they said, there is only

396
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: one Hitler.

397
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: There's actually been quite a few Hitlers, although there's less.

398
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 4: Now also I would I would like for them to

399
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: feel that question to jd Vance But anyway.

400
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: Fair enough. And then there was, you know, as there

401
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: are at most of these events, there was a prayer

402
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was super interesting that the

403
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: person giving the prayer referred to the panelists and various

404
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: speakers as great actors, which was just like an interesting

405
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: word choice to me.

406
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 4: This extensively like political actors, I would assume, but interesting associations.

407
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: And like one of the one of the main things

408
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: that they talked about this was education, and they said

409
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: their biggest issue that they have in the United States

410
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: is the creation of the federal Department of Education, and

411
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: that they were going to change that, which got huge,

412
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: huge cheers from the crowd. They claim that one of

413
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: the reasons why the young man had attempted to assassinate

414
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was because he had gone to a large school.

415
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: They are very anti large school why.

416
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: Not, and that was one of the main reasons, as

417
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: well as the media referring to foreign President Trump as hitler.

418
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: They were adamant that teachers unions do not protect kids

419
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: and that they are only out for themselves, and that

420
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: all teachers' unions have been infiltrated by the left.

421
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 4: Well, that part is kind of drown yeah, but no,

422
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: I mean attacks on teachers unions are I've seen those

423
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: more in the past four years among a lot of

424
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 4: either like right wing influencers or actual politicians. The teachers'

425
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 4: unions is a very good boogeyman. Yeah, because some people,

426
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 4: you know, like their individual teachers. But no, no, no, the

427
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 4: real problem is the teachers union.

428
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Yes, that actual distinction was brought up multiple times. There

429
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: you go, there you go, And at one point somebody

430
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: in the back of the room dropped their phone, but

431
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: it was very loud and unsettling noise to the point

432
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: where everybody thought that it might have been a gun,

433
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: and everyone kind of understandably so jumped up and around.

434
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: Oh they're scared of guns.

435
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Huh.

436
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: The Republicans really fucking babies.

437
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: And the overall energy is that they ate the federal government.

438
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: They want things to go back to a local level,

439
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: and that the Left is ruining and grooming children. Lots

440
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: of weird as you can imagine, stuff about gender, lots of.

441
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 2: Stuff about consistently got some of the biggest, biggest applause.

442
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: Oh something to note here. Anytime Elon Musk was brought up,

443
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: which was quite a bit, the crowd went bat shit. Yeah,

444
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: huge wild cheers for anything to do with Elon, which

445
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: I thought was, you know, not unexpected, but just that, like,

446
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: he got louder cheers than I think he got a

447
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: louder cheer than when they brought up Donald Trump.

448
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: He's really one of their new great heroes. What did

449
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: the Attorney's General talk about?

450
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: They were mostly talking about different winds they had had

451
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: in terms of like their states and things they were

452
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: bringing the table, and mostly like personal stories of like

453
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: things that they look for in their family. The Missouri

454
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: Attorney General Andrew Bailey, his biggest reaction from the crowd

455
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: was when he said in Missouri, we don't co parent

456
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: with the government, and sure the crowd loved that.

457
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is a big, big, big parental

458
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: rights group.

459
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm intered in the attorney general because back

460
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three, the attorney's generals from a lot

461
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: of these red states drafted this this very angry, kind

462
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: of threatening letter to Target, kind of demanding that because

463
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 4: some of their states own like interest in Target, they

464
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 4: have to remove any kind of any products that cater

465
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: to trans people because this is betraying the investors by

466
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 4: making this poor economic decision. And really, the attorneys general

467
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: have been one of the strongest forces against trans rights

468
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: in a lot of these states. And I believe because

469
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 4: I showed up near the end of the attorney general's segment,

470
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: I believe they refer to themselves as like the last

471
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 4: line of defense. Even if you have like a democrat,

472
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 4: you know, like mayor, or you know you have more

473
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 4: democratic officials in like your city or state, the attorney's

474
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 4: generals are are like the ones that are going to

475
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: hold it down, even if the rest have kind.

476
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: Of sold out or are liberals Democrats.

477
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say the ags were the most transphobic

478
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: of the bunch. If I was doing ranking, which santas, Yeah,

479
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: one of them said, you know, in a laughing way,

480
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: which again got a great reaction from the crowd. Think

481
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: about a kindergartener saying what's your pronoun?

482
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: Very very funny ha ha ha ha.

483
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: They were laughing and hahaha about that. And just the

484
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: last thing I'll say about the ags was that that

485
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: same ag from Missouri said our rights come from God,

486
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: not man.

487
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: And famously in the Constitution.

488
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: Yes, anyways, and then DeSantis and Sarah Huckeby Sanders closed

489
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: it out.

490
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: Which we arrived for.

491
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 4: We arrived just in time to see DeSantis, Thank god,

492
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: Oh meatball Ron Dissentis and Huckeby Sanders got to be

493
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 4: the two most uncharismatic speakers I've seen at the convention

494
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 4: so far.

495
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised they were both shunted off to the

496
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: I would call it the shame callus. So.

497
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: DeSantis was wearing jeans, which is just a fascinating move,

498
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: but these were very warm, very.

499
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: Warm, and essentially when he got up he basically did

500
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: like a brag list of all the things that he

501
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: has gotten done in.

502
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: Florida, talking about, you know, taking the fight to Disney,

503
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: enacting universal school choice, making sure that there's no sex

504
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 4: at in his schools. Very cool, and then, uh, you

505
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 4: talked oddly enough a lot about college.

506
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: University is correct.

507
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: Yes, he was talking about how like, even if you

508
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: raise your kid, right, even if we fix you know, public.

509
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 2: Schools, you put in eighteen hard years.

510
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: He spent eighteen years raising your kid, You do it right,

511
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: we fix all of the public schools, everything's good. As

512
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: soon as they turn eighteen, they're gonna go after one

513
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 4: of these liberal colleges and they're gonna undo all of

514
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: the good work that you've put in, and that needs

515
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: to be the next thing to stop. And he said

516
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: that Florida is the first state to take on higher education.

517
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 4: We've had a lot of focus on lower education. We

518
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: now we have to take on higher education, including doing

519
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 4: like performance reviews for ten good professors every five years,

520
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: in which case they can be fired for poor performance,

521
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 4: which is kind of a wild concept for a Tenian professor.

522
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: He also had a one off wild line where he

523
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: was like, you did see Hamas over on our universities.

524
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: Yes, he referred to palestinating human rights campus protesters as Hamas,

525
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 4: just saying that they are Hamas, Like he didn't like say,

526
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 4: these people are like Hamas. You just said when Hamas

527
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: was coming to the universities, they didn't show up in Florida.

528
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: Which is a very standard Republican line.

529
00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 3: It is.

530
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's just no difference between someone showing up to

531
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: a protest in the United States because they don't like

532
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: that thousands and thousands of Palestinians are being murdered, and

533
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 4: that person is now indistinguishable from Hamas according to the

534
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 4: Republican Party, according to all of these speakers. Yeah, and

535
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 4: so Sarah Sanders just tried to kind of write on

536
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 4: the coattails of disantist being like, hey, we're also plighting

537
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: the transgenders.

538
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: She did the same. She listed, you know, some of

539
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: her brags mentioned it always has to do she talks

540
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: about her dad. I wrote down something she said because

541
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: I was like, she said, the only war on women

542
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: is on conservative women from the far left. Where are

543
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: the feminists? They can't even tell you what a woman is.

544
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 4: Well, someone who's famously taken a woman's studies course where

545
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: they never define what a woman is totally because the

546
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 4: main upsetting thing for me because the police just killed

547
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 4: a black man a few hours ago. I was just reminded,

548
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 4: you know, there's so many real people in Milwaukee, right.

549
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 4: All the food service workers have been very nice. So

550
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 4: there's all these real people facing real issues in the

551
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: poorest part of Milwaukee. And we just saw someone whose

552
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 4: life was ended because police were here for the RNC

553
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 4: from a totally different state, and people with real economic concerns,

554
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: real concerns about, you know, their life from police brutality,

555
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: all this type of stuff. And as soon as you

556
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 4: walked into this Mom's for Liberty panel, the first thing

557
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 4: we heard them complaining about was that they were being

558
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: censored on Twitter, yep, and that that was their concern.

559
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: Joe Biden censored us.

560
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: Their hardest thing to them was that they find all

561
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: this gender stuff a little bit icky and that we're

562
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: being censored on Twitter. And that is the level of

563
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 4: problems that these people are dealing well.

564
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: And our kids didn't turn into the people we wanted

565
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: them to. Yeah, and that should be the entire country's problem.

566
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: They are not fundamentally, they don't have real problems. These people,

567
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: they don't have real problems, but they are unhappy that

568
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: everyone in the world does not inherently act to serve

569
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: and validate them, and they are going to make that

570
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: everyone's promise. You know. That is what the RNC is.

571
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: The people on the floor are what you would call

572
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: like successful used car dealers, like level of capitalist, right,

573
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: and they are worshiping an alliance of venture capitalists, guys

574
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: like the VEC, guys like JD. Vance, and of course

575
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: people who inherited a shitload of wealth and then eventually

576
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: succeeded in making money through a combination of vice casinos

577
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: and the entertainment industry. Trump, you know, like that's that's

578
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 2: who this is.

579
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: And uh, speaking of a VIC. As we were getting

580
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: up to leave, they quickly announced that there was one

581
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: more person who was going to speak, and it was him.

582
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, he sure did speak. He gave a speech that

583
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 4: I would say was indistinguishable from AI. Yes, just about

584
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 4: how how good America can be and even though we're

585
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: a to GPT could, even though we're in a tough spot

586
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 4: right now, I feel like America can do better. And

587
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 4: it was just it was like I could predict every

588
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 4: other word. Yeah, hey, this is gear recording. Just outside

589
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: of the main arena at the rn c where Governor

590
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 4: Greg Aba just gave a speed and now I'm giving

591
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: you a short speech to tell you to enjoy these

592
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: messages from our sponsors.

593
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. This is Robert M.

594
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 4: Garrison recording from our hotel room later in the night,

595
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 4: because we have learned some new information about the police

596
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 4: killing that happened earlier today, and also we listened to

597
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of the RNC closing speeches tonight which

598
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: kind of relate to this question of police violence.

599
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: I'll hand this off to Robert.

600
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, so since we were down there, the

601
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: police have released both their security camera footage body camera footage,

602
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: and we have the name of the decedent, who was

603
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: Samuel Sharp Junior. This is the guy everyone in the

604
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: neighborhood identified as Jehovah, and that was the nickname that

605
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: he went by. He looked younger. I've seen some reports

606
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: that he was like forty three, but he doesn't look

607
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: forty three from the footage, you know, and he had

608
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: just he had used a community shower earlier that day

609
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: that comes by the neighborhood for some of the homeless folks,

610
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: and you know everyone he loved them. Footage is I

611
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: understand like exactly how it's going to be used and

612
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: already as being used by the police, And I understand

613
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: what they're saying, which is that if you look at

614
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: the footage, is they rush on scene, I think about

615
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: fifteen of them. Five of them fired at once and

616
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: immediately open fire. You can see from a distance the

617
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: two guys are five to seven feet apart and are

618
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: kind of crossing the street together while it looks like

619
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: they are yelling as the police rush in, Samuel runs forward,

620
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: and if you clip frames out of the video, you

621
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: can make a case that he was charging the guy

622
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: with his knife or knives. Police are saying multiple It's

623
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 2: a little unclear to me in the footage if he

624
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: had two or just one. But I can see how

625
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: the police showing up un scene, being trained the way

626
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: that they are, why they opened fire. The problem is

627
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: that he ran forward in the first place, because they

628
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: rushed in, like these two guys were squared up on

629
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: the street and not in an encounter that any of

630
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: the locals considered to be particularly threatening. If you have

631
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time around homeless encampments, if you

632
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 2: have spent a lot of time in neighborhoods that have

633
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: a lot of homeless residence, it is not wild or

634
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 2: uncommon to see people yelling and to see people with

635
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: knives on their person, you know, even in their hands. Obviously,

636
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: that can be upsetting to some people. But like the

637
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: folks who lived in the neighborhood did not consider this

638
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 2: an odd circumstance and with something that, in the normal

639
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: circumstance of events and the normal following of events, would

640
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: have been de escalated. And in this case it wasn't

641
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: the police open fire before there was any attempt at

642
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: de escalation.

643
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like conservatives will always point out, you know,

644
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 4: why is he just following orders? Why isn't he just

645
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 4: just doing blah blah blah blah blah. They will they

646
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: will take they'll take low screenshots that make something look

647
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 4: a certain way. And the simple fact is that these

648
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 4: two men were not in any physical altercation before police arrived.

649
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 4: He started running away as police started charging towards him.

650
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 4: I think it would be very odd that he would

651
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 4: choose that moment to suddenly lunge forward and stab this

652
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 4: person he knew. And I think it's very clear that

653
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 4: he's actually just running away from police. As people often do,

654
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 4: and police have a long history of just shooting at

655
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: people and killing people who are running away. You can

656
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 4: look at what happened at the Wendy's in Atlanta in

657
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. They shoot people when they don't follow what

658
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 4: they're saying. They shoot people when people try to run

659
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 4: away from them, and that's just how cops work. So

660
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 4: this video came out later in the evening, right as

661
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 4: me and Robert arrived at the RNC second session. And

662
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: the theme today for the RNC is make America Safe Again.

663
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: And some of the first few speeches I heard, one

664
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: was from the mayor of Dallas, Eric Johnson.

665
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 7: Democrats in power demonstrate they don't care about stopping the killers.

666
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: Or the thieves who.

667
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 7: Terrorize black and brown communities. They don't care about securing

668
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 7: our border, and they don't care about dangerous homeless encampments.

669
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: And then there was also like a police chief who

670
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: spoke a former police chief who now runs a charity

671
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: I think for like wounded police officers. Yeah, but he's

672
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: like a cop who is also an activist.

673
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 4: And so all this framing is around talking about how

674
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 4: the Democrats are the defund the police party, how Joe

675
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: Biden and Kamala Harris themselves advocate for defunding the police,

676
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 4: which is simply not true if you look at what

677
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 4: they say. Joe Biden will always reiterate that he always

678
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 4: has argued for more police funding, for more police training.

679
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 4: But they have framdous issue as there are not enough

680
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: police around. That's what is making cities dangerous. Talking about

681
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 4: you know, all the people dying of violent crime. Not

682
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: a single mention, of course, that the out of state

683
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: police just killed someone a mile away from the Republican

684
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 4: National Convention. The make America Safe Again rhetoric shifted towards

685
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 4: you know, border rhetoric. You know, people believing genuinely the

686
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 4: people that are speaking in the audience that we currently

687
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 4: live under an open border policy that people can just

688
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: walk in totally fine. Just a complete alterned reality view

689
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 4: about what's going on in America, about what Joe Biden

690
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: and Kamala Harris's border policies are. And there was a

691
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 4: number of speachurees that that tried to capitalize on this

692
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 4: on this almost like border framing up, like there's isis

693
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 4: terrorists pouring into the border only under Joe Biden, right,

694
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 4: as if no one ever crossed the border illegally under

695
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 4: Donald Trump. I know what, Robert you, You were talking

696
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 4: about some of the Ted Cruz speech tonight on his

697
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 4: comments around the border.

698
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Cruz was interesting. I've never considered him a

699
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: particularly strong speaker, and coming out, he initially went into

700
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: kind of a conspiracy theory that you'll hear on the

701
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: right about people being trafficked, sex trafficked, kids being sex

702
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: traffic across the border. He made a comment about them

703
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: having colored wristbands, which is again not a thing that happens,

704
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: but a reference to a widely believed right wing conspiracy,

705
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: and that got kind of a scattered amount of applause.

706
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: Not not what I would call a reaction, given how

707
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 2: he saw the crowd react, Marjorie Taylor Green and how

708
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: we saw them react, you know, whenever Trump comes out

709
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: very muted. But as it went on, he started going

710
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: into this kind of fear mongering spiel about migrants. He

711
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: talked about the woman in San Francisco who was killed

712
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: by that guy who found a gun in a bag

713
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: and accidentally fired it. He talked about a number of

714
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: different other cases that were people not from the country,

715
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: undocumented immigrants, who killed generally white Americans. And every time

716
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: he would tell a story, he had like a refrain

717
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: line that was something and that's what happens every damn

718
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: time or something. And every time he gave the refrain,

719
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: more and more people started to cheer in the audience.

720
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: And by the end of it, with the last kind

721
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 2: of couple of cases of migrant on white people crime

722
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: he brought up, the crowd was like legitimately roaring like

723
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: as much as they did for Marjorie Taylor Green. Now

724
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: the cop that came up next got a much louder response,

725
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: and by far the biggest response of the night, even

726
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 2: maybe including Trump, was when the delegates on the floor

727
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: launched into a series of back the Blue chants. They

728
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: actually interrupted the cop with back the Blue chants. Were

729
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: roaring for that.

730
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a lot of a lot of these chants.

731
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: And the Dallas mayor told a really funny story how

732
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty, some like anti police or defund the

733
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 4: police activists to shut up around his neighborhood to try to,

734
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 4: you know, get him to defund the police, and he

735
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 4: got so scared by this that he changed from being

736
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 4: a Democrat mayor to a Republican mayor and now he

737
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: runs the biggest Republican led city in the country. And

738
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 4: he had this comment talking about how he grew up

739
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 4: in you know, poor black neighborhoods and the thing that

740
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 4: they've always wanted, the thing that makes them safer, is

741
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 4: more cops, not less cops. Both.

742
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 7: I grew up in high prime neighborhoods. What we wanted

743
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 7: was more.

744
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 5: And better, not less.

745
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 4: And just contrasting that with our experiences today in a

746
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 4: very poor black community that just suffered an incident of

747
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: police killing. That is that is just a lie, right, like,

748
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 4: and like everyone knows this. This is theater for the convention.

749
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 4: Everyone at the convention is really into this sort of thing.

750
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: They genuinely believe this sort of stuff, but it's just

751
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 4: an alternate reality. We spend time one of the poorest

752
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 4: zip codes in the country and the state today and no,

753
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 4: it's that's simply not true.

754
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, these these people are angry about primarily theoretical problems.

755
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: You know, this kind of specter of migrant crime, which

756
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: is not really real in a demographic you can pick

757
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: out individual cases of that, but you can pick out

758
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: individual cases of doctors stabbing people to death, and that

759
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: doesn't mean we have a wave of doctor related crime, right.

760
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 2: The reality of the situation is that, like, these are

761
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: super fans of the Republican Party, and they are super

762
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: fans of the narrative, and they are cheering for some

763
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 2: of the moments, you know, they're not There's some stuff

764
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: that's gotten boring to them. I kind of think the

765
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: child traffick at conspiracy theories might be boring to them,

766
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 2: maybe because that guy from the child trafficking movie got

767
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: disgraced or whatever. There's not as interested. So you can

768
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: see every now and then as like their interest in

769
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: certain things fades. But they're reacting like an audience that

770
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: like a comic con would to see in like a

771
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: Star Wars trailer where some guy does a thing that's

772
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: evidence of having the comics or whatever. The people I'm

773
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: waiting to see, like when fucking DeSantis comes on and

774
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 2: starts talking about banning children from receiving gender affirming care,

775
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: that's like fucking Spider Man showing up, right, and they

776
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 2: react like the guy next to us when DeSantis started

777
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: doing this, started screaming and like sticking his fist out

778
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: towards DeSantis and like yelling at it a volume that

779
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: was honestly kind of surprising the man could project. I'll

780
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: give him that. So I think ultimately the way I

781
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: would sum this up is that these are not normal people.

782
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: These are people who love politics. And again, to be clear,

783
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying these are not normal people. Can They're conservative.

784
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: My entire family are conservative, a lot of them are

785
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: Trump voters, but they would find this audience deeply weird

786
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: because these people are politics fans, and even most of

787
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: the conservatives I know really dislike politics. Most normal people do.

788
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: And I guess that's kind of where I've concluded, is

789
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: the difference between like the crazies and the normies. Normal

790
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 2: people don't enjoy this stuff.

791
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 4: The term I've used the past few years is politics

792
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 4: as fandom, and that's all this fucking is. This is

793
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 4: this is a convention, just like comic con, just like

794
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 4: an anime con. This is a convention, and that is

795
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: how they view politics. Anyway, back to the past versions

796
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 4: of us to discuss a funny closing story regarding presidential footwear.

797
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: So that has been our day so far. The last

798
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 4: thing I say we'll leave you with is on our

799
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 4: way to the convention site, this morning, we were walking

800
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 4: through this hotel to get through security and we found

801
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 4: this wonderful section. It was it it was called the

802
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 4: Sidential Experience. We walked in. There was a there was

803
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 4: a replica of the Oval Office. I was told Reagan

804
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 4: era Oval Office.

805
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 2: It was.

806
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 3: It was pretty good, and it was pretty good.

807
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 2: It was not good Netflix production, but like Netflix production

808
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: level quality.

809
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: Bad Netflix production quality. So we walked through and then

810
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 4: we found just a glorious site. And I will let

811
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 4: Past Robert and myself tell you what we found at

812
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 4: the Presidential Experience. We are hearing the Presidential shoe section.

813
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 4: We got Harry Truman, Nixon, Gerald Ford, Reagan, Warren G. Harding,

814
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 4: who has a quote charming spat requested by President Harding

815
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 4: and sympathized the elegance of the Victorian era. Dwight Eisenhower's

816
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: shoes are pretty good. JFKs are a little bit more

817
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 4: fancy but less polished.

818
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 3: Lyndon B.

819
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 4: Johnson's completely unsurprising, very very versatile, very efficient, can get

820
00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 4: off easy, slip on and off, get those dogs out

821
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 4: when you need to. Abe Lincoln has some honestly very

822
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: stylish boots. Theodore Roosevelt's as well large foot on Theodore

823
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 4: and Woodrow Wilson's shoes, the only white shoe in the bunch.

824
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 4: Very small, tiny feet, very small feet. Kind of surprisingly

825
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 4: he's it says he chose fashion over tradition with these

826
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 4: white buckskins. Also, they have Ulysses s. Grant's little little

827
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 4: riding boots. The Victorian boots are are very very stylish.

828
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: But honestly, I think I would go with Dwight D. Eisenhower's.

829
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 4: They're just a beautiful, a beautiful shoe. Reagan's aren't bad,

830
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 4: but I don't know. The Eisenhower shoes just a little

831
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 4: bit more elegant.

832
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 8: I'm going for LBJ slip on life.

833
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: That makes sense for you.

834
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 8: That shows you're a man who's got things to do.

835
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 8: You know, you don't have time to be tie in

836
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 8: your shoes.

837
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 4: No, that that that makes sense, That makes sense. Nick

838
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 4: Nixons and Kennedy's are very similar.

839
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: Process or, I will tell.

840
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 4: You the truth. Pretty good. It looks like this was

841
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 4: presented by c Span this presidential experience. We have a

842
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 4: Reagan era replica of the Oval Office, not a big room,

843
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 4: not a big room, but overall of decent, decent replica.

844
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 3: Nice JFK portrait Up there.

845
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 2: There's a women's suffrage article, Wally.

846
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 4: Interesting women's suffrage little table. Very controversial topic among Republicans

847
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 4: these days.

848
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 8: It has gotten to be increasingly so.

849
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: Some old Pennsylvania Packet and Daily.

850
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 8: Advertiser newspapers from seventeen eighty seven. Oh yeah, so this

851
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 8: is I guess the original Pennsylvania newspaper coverage and printing

852
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 8: of the.

853
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: Seventeen eighty seven.

854
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, of the Constitution. Yeah, there's the preamble right there. Yeah,

855
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 8: and they spell established Justice as.

856
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 2: A thab lith just fifth, because that's a yieldie days,

857
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: a lot a lot more f's back in the day.

858
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, But they have these little information placards about all

859
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 4: the presidents, the first ladies, that kind of stuff. We'll

860
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 4: try to talk to the to the organizer of this

861
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 4: little shindig in a sect. But honestly, the shoe, the

862
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 4: shoe section, it's the most interesting thing to me just

863
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 4: because of how tiny, just just how tiny those Woodrow

864
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 4: Wilson choos are.

865
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 8: Hey, Jay, that's that's a that's a that's a long foot.

866
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 2: It's not a wide foot.

867
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 4: Roosevelt's feet are pretty wide. U. S. Grant also very

868
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 4: small also very small feet. Hmmm, yeah, you know what

869
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 4: they say about him?

870
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 3: Anyway, who's your favorite president?

871
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: Favorite?

872
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 8: Honestly? You know, I I I think I gotta go

873
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 8: with US Grant. He's He's not my favorite president in

874
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 8: terms of what he did in office, but in terms

875
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 8: of like as a person, sure, he's the US president

876
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 8: that I think was probably the the best person like

877
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 8: he really did try.

878
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 3: Always been a Harrison fan myself.

879
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, William Henry. He was my favorite ass president.

880
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 4: Right, also rhymes with my first name, So a little

881
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 4: bit of a bias there.

882
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: He really I like a man who there. There's not

883
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: much like fat on that presidency.

884
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 3: He really efficient, efficient, efficient time in office.

885
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: You got in and out.

886
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 3: Wow, very exciting. All those little feet.

887
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 2: I can't stop thinking about. You know what I think

888
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 2: about that's the weirdest is that they did not have

889
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: they didn't have any bush feet. Sadly, well, they didn't

890
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 2: have bush feet. And there was one guy who they

891
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 2: didn't have his shoes. They just had the US Grant.

892
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 2: They just had they had like the model that they

893
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 2: built the shoe around for him, Yes, which was weird.

894
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: I was like, where's your where's your US grant shoe.

895
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: You don't want to show us the hardest working man

896
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: whoever lived to be president.

897
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I thought that was some important breaking

898
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 4: news for our listeners to hear who had the smallest foot. Yeah,

899
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 4: but as of right now, that is day two of

900
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 4: the Republican National Convention.

901
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,640
