Kamala Harris is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, and we're here to talk about it. We're joined by Bill Richman, an Asian-American lawyer who has a unique perspective on the whole Kamala Harris thing.
00:11:28.000I had a bad morning this morning because I mistimed the shower.
00:11:32.000You ever do that where you're sweating, you're either working out, or you're in a hot car, or you leave your dog in a hot car, and then you get into the shower, but you get out of the shower.
00:13:30.000And she was like, not a doctor, went to a public school, and you weren't even the first half-Asian to make it onto a national presidency or vice president.
00:14:31.000Toast is similar to bread, but worlds apart.
00:14:34.000Because toast is the result of your bread being heated in a device.
00:14:38.000After which, it emerges slightly darker.
00:14:40.000You can then use the toast as a side, accompaniment, or a meal all its own, enjoying its subtle, but noticeably crunchier flavor that satisfies even Plain Bread's greatest critics.
00:14:50.000Go to toast.toast and enter promo code toast for 7% off your first order.
00:14:57.000If you order in the next 10 minutes, we'll include a discount on the Ladder with Crowder proprietary browning bread box to help make your own toast at home.
00:15:03.000That's toast.toast, promo code toast, to try it for yourself today.
00:15:38.000And every time they show up, they're like, what the hell?
00:15:40.000We should have a bird on to talk about that.
00:15:42.000You leave your dog in the car, you give me this stale bread.
00:15:45.000We don't have the digestive tract for biscotti.
00:15:49.000But first, before we talk about Kamala Harris, of course the man who picked Kamala Harris, former vice president, that's a scary phrase, Joseph Biden, this weekend Biden.
00:17:01.000Do you have any idea what's growing in that thing?
00:17:05.000I don't know if he's... I assume he's not actually practicing as most of these doctors on CNN, so he's probably avoided most of the microbes.
00:17:18.000Alright, let's see what they're talking about.
00:17:21.000Hand hygiene stations, trying to create the physical distancing as much as possible, which is probably the biggest challenge.
00:17:28.000They've even gone through the process of getting kids and faculty tested.
00:17:33.000The real problem is where we live at this point.
00:17:37.000We live in an area where there is considerable viral spread.
00:17:41.000As I've looked at the data from around the world in terms of how kids transmit the virus, I've become increasingly convinced that kids really of any age can spread this virus.
00:17:56.000Initially, they talked about a crazy death rate.
00:17:58.000And we said, well, actually, it's probably a lot lower because a lot of people are asymptomatic.
00:18:01.000More people have the virus than we realize.
00:18:02.000And now they're going, oh my god, more people!
00:18:04.000More people have the virus than we realize!
00:18:06.000But if kid A spreads it to kid B and neither one of them have any symptoms or a problem, and in the state I believe, was it in New York, Donald Trump spoke about this, only one person under the age of 18 died and they had diabetes, if none of them or very few of them have ill effects, that is something that you take into consideration when shutting down the economy for their entire generation to come.
00:18:30.000No one's saying that kids can't get it.
00:18:32.000We're saying that kids, by and large, and I know this could be removed from Facebook and Twitter like the present, most of the time, virtually almost all, are asymptomatic and they're fine.
00:18:43.000Now, if you want to say that those kids shouldn't come home because they might give Mr. Mullet, Doctor, the virus himself, and it could, then fine, fine, just say it's about you.
00:18:51.000It's not about the kids, it's about you.
00:18:54.000You don't want to send your kids to school because you don't want the stiffles.
00:18:57.000Dr. Sanjay Gupta, you want to continue on down the mullet trail so you can show everyone how good of a non-practicing doctor you are looking at the data.
00:19:05.000By the way, was this the same guy who looked at the data from the Imperial College of London?
00:19:09.000I think he vetted it and then brought it onto the show and he told Poppy and all his friends about it.
00:19:14.000I mean, hey Poppy, here's the problem.
00:19:42.000And so that's where you get through the arguments, you just get to a certain point and then they're like, And if you say anything bad, you're a terrible person, you want to kill grandma.
00:20:24.000There really are only two options at this point, okay?
00:20:27.000And this is based on the data, and this is based on the opinions of everyone at CNN and everyone on the left, including Dr. Fauci.
00:20:33.000The only point of view that you can have is this is a virus right now, disease that will be among us and we have to learn how to deal with it and move forward or shut everything down forever.
00:20:44.000Because a temporary shutdown isn't going to stop once you open back up.
00:21:24.000Yeah, so it's like, if the standard is nobody else is getting it, there are zero cases, there are zero deaths, is that when school can start back up, when life can start back up?
00:22:04.000Because this is something, if we're going to play identity politics, we're going to separate everyone by race, gender, okay, well, gender, sex, I have to separate the two now even though apparently it means the same thing on a government ID.
00:23:21.000Let's give them an extra stipend because three months off isn't enough with an average salary of 70-something thousand dollars a year plus bennies.
00:23:27.000It's just more money, more money, more money, more money.
00:23:31.000We don't have the money, and we're going to have less money because people aren't going to be able to pay taxes!
00:23:38.000So that's why we don't talk about it anymore.
00:23:39.000And you know what you never hear about are the number of teachers.
00:23:42.000You have to really dig, or you have to go actually talk to individuals, which is hard right now under the restrictions.
00:23:47.000When you talk to teachers who go, look, I've always known, everyone knows that it's a Petri dish.
00:23:55.000Certainly, there's more of a risk, and certain teachers may have a particular problem if they live with someone or if they themselves are particularly susceptible because they have a pre-existing condition.
00:24:05.000Those are case-by-case basis, and these teachers are going, yeah, I absolutely want to go back to work.
00:24:12.000The reason why they want to do it, these teachers who are not getting a voice right now, is because they want their students to learn.
00:24:17.000Because they know that the socialization, They know that the in-person teaching is what's needed, and they know that how are mom and dad going to go back to work?
00:24:25.000Listen, if it's about the children, if it's about the children, if it really is, and I'm not saying that no teachers, of course, go in because they want to serve children.
00:24:32.000Of course, plenty of them do, but not everyone.
00:24:35.000And I would be willing to bet not the teachers who are out there dragging coffins down Fifth Avenue and aren't supporting a robust homeschooling system.
00:24:44.000If it's about the children, say, okay, shut down and let's help support parents so that they can homeschool their children.
00:24:49.000And then let's find out what, no, instead of just going, I don't want to go back!
00:24:53.000I don't want to work any sooner than I play all day.
00:25:00.000And if you're doing it for the children, then right now, do it for the children.
00:25:03.000If not, don't consider yourself a frontline hero.
00:25:05.000We had people getting into the trenches in D-Day, and you won't go back to teach children right now at a point where, again, we're talking about a 0.3% death rate.
00:25:15.000Which, if I said this only a few months ago, banned.
00:25:18.000I understand because we're hearing a death rate that is now accurate, but Dr. Sanjay
00:25:22.000Gupta was citing the Imperial College study, which he's a doctor.
00:26:50.000Just like Joe Biden had to check his notes, you found this when he was announcing—I think we have an overlay—announced Senator Kamala Harris for vice president.
00:26:58.000He had to have a script and a giant picture of her face.
00:28:38.000Let's go through the merits, because here's the thing.
00:28:41.000When we talk about common ground, and I don't believe that you need to find common ground on a lie, I think that there's right and there's wrong, and very often it's found maybe somewhere in the middle, but sometimes it's not found in the middle at all.
00:28:50.000However, today we can find common ground, to use my half-Asian letters terms, on this POS Kamala Harris, because Everyone should unilaterally dislike her.
00:29:01.000I will give you reason as to why the left will despise her, or at least they should if they're being consistent right now with these riots slash peaceful protests.
00:29:08.000And of course the right should not be happy, or I don't think will be very happy.
00:29:11.000So the New York Times wrote that she was a pragmatic moderate.
00:29:17.000Kamala Harris, she's a pragmatic moderate, and we'll get to her criminal justice history, which is really to the right of Rudy Giuliani, and maybe that's what they were doing to tip the scales, but on everything else, what do we have here?
00:30:03.000They're going to try and say that she's moderate, which, well, this is the beauty of the left today.
00:30:06.000They are stuck between a rock and a hard place, right?
00:30:08.000If someone says, well, actually, she's pretty moderate, they go, we don't want it!
00:30:11.000So they were saying yesterday, right before Joe Biden announced it, they said, if you do not bring in a POS candidate, then you are going to lose the POS.
00:30:23.000For a second I thought I wasn't sure what I said, but I think what you were getting to is what I meant to say.
00:30:57.000For reference, tune into the Young Turks at any single point in their channel or John Oliver.
00:31:01.000And then the problem is now when we understand what she's actually about, Uh, everyone else in the country is going to say, we don't, we don't want it.
00:31:10.000So there's no winning right now at this point.
00:31:12.000I'm just wondering if Joe Biden will even make it to November.
00:31:15.000Speaking of whom, let's actually kind of the only highlights people forget this during the debates.
00:31:21.000Kamala Harris, when we watched those debates, I said, oh, she drank her milk tonight.
00:31:26.000She only really went after Tulsi Gabbard a little bit, but it didn't work.
00:31:29.000But one night she came out and went after Joe Biden hard.
00:31:32.000So, the vice presidential candidate, let's see her thoughts on the guy at the top of the ticket.
00:31:38.000But I also believe, and it's personal, and it was actually very, it was hurtful.
00:31:44.000To hear you talk about the reputations of two United States Senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.
00:31:59.000You also worked with them to oppose busing.
00:32:03.000And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day.
00:32:50.000So basically, there's a difference between just saying, I don't agree with this person's policies, and now running on the ticket with someone who you've basically said, I believe the women who've accused him of sexual assault, and he's supported segregation.
00:34:35.000I have a conspiracy that I'm going to get to in a second.
00:34:37.000I want to see if anyone else here agrees.
00:34:38.000But first, do hit the notification bell if you're on YouTube, because the subscriptions don't mean a whole lot anymore, and you find out exactly when the stream is, which is, of course, Monday through Thursday, every morning.
00:34:48.000And we'll be doing the live streams as we have Democratic Convention town halls, not debate.
00:34:52.000So it'll likely be Anderson Cooper talking with a bunch of people who grew up from a school shooting from six years ago, and they'll just somehow tie that into the presidency.
00:34:57.000We'll be here to stream it anyway, down with the NRA!
00:35:01.000That's the quality of programming you can expect here.
00:35:25.000Well, do you think they would apply that same standard to someone else if it was, let's say, Donald Trump's father wrote In 2018, an op-ed bragging that he was a slave owner.
00:36:15.000When they accuse people of being tone deaf because you're white, A black man from Jamaica bragging about a town named after his slave owner in a plantation.
00:36:28.000I mean, you just think, you just think, like, someone might have told, did anyone proofread this?
00:36:34.000Like, ah, you know what, hey, you know what, Mr. Harry, you might want to, I highlighted some portions in red.
00:36:40.000That's the best part about this subservience and that, yeah.
00:37:07.000So are we going to argue that Kamala Harris, coming here to the United States, has faced the same kind of discrimination or systemic racism that African-Americans are claiming is an experience today?
00:37:19.000And here's also the problem with that.
00:37:20.000Let's take it a step further, because they say you have white privilege, you have, well, really, Asian privilege now, too.
00:37:25.000That's a thing because of Harvard and Brown.
00:37:41.000I don't know why, but your people are fertile, Bill.
00:37:44.000You look at them wrong, they get pregnant.
00:37:46.000So you want to say that a lady who came from Jamaica, the descendant of slave owners, has it worse off than, let's say, someone from West Virginia, who is not the descendant of slave owners, who was raised in poverty?
00:39:00.000So I was raised in a family where my parents shopped at Goodwill Salvation Army.
00:39:04.000None of us benefited from slavery in any way, and I was in a province, in a country, this is the problem with multiculturalism, where there was known systemic legal discrimination against people who were English speakers regardless As to whether they were born in Quebec or not.
00:39:18.000You could be born in Quebec, your parents could be English and born in Quebec, yet you still faced systemic discrimination.
00:39:22.000Then I moved to the United States, lived in an 82 Datsun, and finally we have this show here.
00:39:41.000So compare my upbringing with Kamala Harris and you want to say that I need to check my white privilege?
00:39:48.000You're talking about direct descendants of slavery, and they brag about it!
00:39:51.000This is the problem that happens, and this is why you're going to see more racism in the United States, and I'm really scared about it.
00:39:57.000I really am genuinely frightened that you're going to see a lot of young Americans in a similar scenario, people who have not seen a leg up, who have been told that they need to be guilted, that they need to be silent, sit down, shut up, and listen, and then they're browbeaten, and then someone like Kamala Harris comes in and talks about how hard she has it, when there is verifiable proof that she benefited from slavery.
00:40:17.000And, kind of like the Lolo Jones, Kamala Harris could use it both ways.
00:40:54.000As a prosecutor, while we're talking about Black Lives Matter and the riots, the violent riots, she kept inmates jailed for longer to use them as cheap labor.
00:41:01.000She supported the death penalty, which may surprise people, and she incarcerated over 1,500 people for marijuana offenses.
00:41:07.000So if we're talking about moving the needle forward for the potheads who just want to get blitzed, she too is not your candidate.
00:41:13.000Can you guys explain this to people who may not be up on the nerdiness of the prison sentences?
00:41:19.000Yeah, I mean, I think that the basic scenario there was that nonviolent offenders were supposed to be eligible for parole after serving half their sentence, right?
00:41:27.000Because you've got crowded prisons, etc.
00:41:30.000And she wanted to keep them in to use for cheap labor.
00:41:34.000So essentially another form of slavery, right?
00:41:41.000She owes two groups of people reparations at this point.
00:41:45.000I mean, what's interesting about that is that traditionally you're gonna see, at least even with Trump, you've seen a lot of attacks about him being the law and order president and kind of, you know, doing, not that actually, what's funny is even he doesn't do that, right?
00:42:06.000And then his First Step Act was actually one of the first steps towards changing the laws on harsh sentences for non-violent offenders.
00:42:12.000Right, but at that time, you know, the laws were the laws, the judges needed to do what they needed to do.
00:42:16.000The only one who really had a lot of discretion, certainly judges had some with regards to evidence or, you know, sentencing, but it came down to the prosecutors.
00:42:25.000It came down To the District Attorney for the City of San Francisco and what they were doing and how they decided to not only bring cases, but what sentences they were asking for and what they were doing on the back end when it came time for parole.
00:42:39.000You cannot lay this at the feet of anyone other than Kamala Harris.
00:42:42.000And I don't know, maybe they just thought, hey, you know, we do actually have to show that we're tough.
00:42:46.000I mean, certainly not, you know, push up, punch out McGee over here with Biden.
00:42:51.000You know, you've got to actually have someone who's talking about it.
00:42:53.000But the problem is, I don't think they realize that A lot of folks really don't want that.
00:43:13.000Who was she banging to make non-violent drug offenders end up in prison in San Francisco?
00:43:21.000You could smoke a joint In the foyer of the police precinct in San Francisco, and not even, no one would bat an eye.
00:43:28.000Now, granted, you'd have to have a little hole in your mask and some kind of a suction so it creates some kind of a positive pressure environment, but the point remains, smoke your weed in San Francisco and shit on the lawn.
00:43:39.000Has anyone heard, I haven't seen, I've been trying to look around, but like her explanation for... She said she didn't know.
00:43:46.000That was her explanation, but she didn't know.
00:43:53.000Just like I had no idea that I owe reparations to the guy who was locked up for a baggie of weed, as well as the ambassador for Red Stripe.
00:44:00.000I didn't know that I had harmed these many people, even though it was written about in national op-eds from my dad.
00:44:07.000Hey, by the way, Dad, if you're listening, shut up, please.
00:44:16.000And if you don't know what's going on, you know, for keeping people in prison in your small, one-city legal department, what we should definitely do is just let you be in charge of the country.
00:44:27.000Who would have ever thought that the biracial, black, Asian-American, POS to use Bill's terms, Kamala Harris, would be running Right, she would be the lady who was locking up non-violent black offenders and extending their sentences, running against Donald Trump, who actually commuted sentences and introduced legislation that eases penalties on non-violent drug offenders, despite the fact that he's a teetotaler.
00:44:54.000Who would have thought that the most moderate Democrat that we have, according to the New York Times, actually is to the right of Attila the Hun when it comes to criminal justice?
00:45:02.000Though, of course, she's changed that now because she listened to some Tupac.
00:45:16.000No, no, that's called a prison worker.
00:45:19.000That is probably the most, like, the lack of self-awareness for her to talk about, and clearly what was a lie.
00:45:26.000But to even lie about doing something that is the same type of offense of the people she was making serve additional time beyond what they were normally serving.
00:45:35.000Now again, she didn't create the laws, right?
00:45:55.000But whenever you get a candidate of color from the right, they never want to talk about it.
00:46:01.000They're all, it's just, you know, whether it's Bobby Jindal when he was in Louisiana, or Herman Cain, or any of the, it's, well, it goes from either, you're an Uncle Tom, right, Ben Carson, it's either you're Uncle Tom, or, oh, suddenly everyone's colorblind.
00:46:21.000And if we're going to, by the way, if we're going to list accomplishments, because I do understand that there obviously can be landmarks, you know, with black people, okay?
00:46:26.000When you look at Robinson number 43, you're like, okay, the first black person.
00:46:29.000Before that, they were watching all white people.
00:46:31.000Do you have any idea how boring it must have been to watch sports when it was all white people?
00:46:59.000And I even thought when that happened, the one good thing to maybe come from Barack Obama, you know, socialism notwithstanding, is, okay, first black president, maybe we'll have some healing.
00:47:07.000So I think there's some validity to saying the first black president.
00:47:58.000You're talking about the guy who was raised in Detroit to a single mother household, tried to stab her but hit her belt buckle, and was the first man to separate conjoined twins at the brain!
00:48:12.000The first black man to separate conjoined twins at the brain!
00:48:17.000We just skim past it because she has a vagina and a little more melanin, which, to quote Nick Cannon, gives her a soul.
00:48:24.000I don't know if you know this, all of us end up in never-ending purgatory unless we're black, according to Nick Cannon.
00:48:29.000My point is, if we're going to talk about historical landmarks, it does need to be applied equally.
00:48:33.000And yes, Herman Cain, of course, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, but to me, Dr. Ben Carson is really the perfect example.
00:48:40.000And of course, Officer David Dorn, when we talk about him.
00:48:42.000He's not the first, but I think he's a great example of what people should look to during these times.
00:48:46.000When we talk about examples for people, and if we're going to be looking at everyone through the prism of race, which is what we're doing with Kamala Harris, we're seeing this right now.
00:49:50.000It's just the attitude that she has, in case you're thinking, well, this could be taken out of context.
00:49:54.000Maybe she actually really is about criminal justice reform and about being more lenient, about being more compassionate.
00:49:59.000Here we have a clip, thank you Rich for finding this, where she laughed about prosecuting the parents of children who committed truancy violations, meaning they were skipping class.
00:50:09.000So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.
00:50:33.000She brought all the kids into the living room, held up the letter, said, if you don't go to school, Kamala's going to put you and me in jail.
00:50:52.000And she's talking like it's a pop-up book.
00:50:54.000Like, hmm, we were saying that if the kids didn't listen to their parents, we were gonna put them in the clink as though it was on par with grand larceny.
00:51:09.000If I was that parent, I'd be like, gather around kids, look at this, we're not going to school anymore.
00:51:14.000And by the way, this is something, too, because if we're talking about how laws disproportionately affect people of color, well, let's talk about the idea that, of course, disproportionately, you have a kid in Detroit, for example.
00:51:23.000A black child in Detroit, black teenager in Detroit, has more chance of ending up in prison than graduating high school, once they enter into school.
00:51:30.000And a big part of this is, yeah, they just don't show up to class.
00:51:33.000As a demographic, black activists have talked about this and how we need to fix this.
00:51:36.000They believe that fixing it is pouring more money into schools.
00:51:39.000The point is, this would disproportionately affect black parents, Kamala Harris!
00:51:44.000Again, I know you have a blind spot because slavery, I get it, so maybe you're not necessarily super empathetic, but even as just a basic white guy, I'm like, that's pretty screwed up!
00:51:55.000Think about that for a second, the parents, and how many inadvertent ass-beatings do you think that this led to?
00:52:01.000From black mothers with kids who they found skipping class just because, you know, they didn't want to get hit on a three-strike policy.
00:52:30.000But I also think it reveals something that we all know deep down to be true, that leftists, when they are in power, they don't mind using that power to make people do stuff.
00:52:40.000And so in that way, it does make perfect sense that, you know, she also had the record of going after David DeLayton, remember?
00:52:47.000With Planned Parenthood and selling the baby parts.
00:52:51.000She went after him, just threw the book at him, or her administration, or whatever.
00:52:56.000And obviously, who knows how much money Planned Parenthood is giving to her campaign, right?
00:53:01.000And so I think it's naive to think that once these people are in power, they won't use the police force or whatever they have at that point, social workers, to come cart you off and make you do whatever they want to do.
00:53:11.000So I think it is inconsistent in a way, but it also just sort of shows their hand, that they're not really against using their political power. She wanted to charge parents for the
00:53:20.000same reason that in New York they wanted to ban big ups. They think that's a legitimate
00:53:24.000role of government. And listen I think yeah I mean I don't even know has anyone seen a truancy
00:53:28.000officer? I haven't seen a truancy officer since the untouchables. Are those still things? Yeah I don't
00:53:51.000Which, by the way, I mean, yeah, go ahead, Bill.
00:53:53.000No, I was gonna say, I mean, that is the question, though, is, is this indicative of how she intends to use her power?
00:53:58.000When given a power, when given a little bit of power, She chooses to create her own definition of what can be punished.
00:54:04.000She decides to start inflicting that punishment on parents who would... I think it's pretty hard to make your kid go to school when you're in jail, right?
00:54:13.000Or you're in court, or you're having to work extra shifts because you have to pay for the fine that you got from Laffy Taffy, you know, freaking Kamala.
00:54:22.000I think he was looking for an insult, and I was like, whatever I say is going to get me in trouble.
00:54:38.000You got me thinking Mayberry, that's why.
00:54:40.000But then the idea of extending the nonviolent offenders and how they're doing it for marijuana charges, again, that is the idea of, okay, now she's in power, let's multiply that by a thousandfold and what are the types of policies that she will put on individuals when she's allowed to.
00:55:00.000And again, based on her own warped view of what's right or wrong.
00:55:03.000And that view was shaped by a family that owned slaves in Jamaica.
00:55:06.000But here's one thing, I will say, this is something that you may have seen a while ago.
00:55:09.000We're just going to have to scrap the second story today because we'll have Ann Dorn on in a little bit.
00:55:12.000But first, to introduce you, we don't have these problems.
00:55:15.000I recognize this as young white truancy.
00:55:19.000Of course, people talk about the police statistics.
00:55:21.000And for those who don't know, we hope that you enjoy this installment, accurate to reality, of White Privilege Boys.
00:55:28.000And now for the adventures of the White Privilege Boys!
00:55:36.000All right there now, Timmy, I know you're a teenager, but if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
00:55:42.000You can't park your vehicle faced into oncoming traffic.
00:57:36.000I don't know the term to use that is non-offensive here, but obviously we say so in the greatest respects.
00:57:41.000Listen, one of those things, we have a platform where we can bring attention.
00:57:47.000To these kinds of stories, and I will say this, when we were on air with the David Dorn story, for people who don't remember, and by the way, we'll be reading some of your chat behind the paywall in a little bit here, it was the hardest thing I think I had to watch live.
00:58:01.000And the reason I think it was so tough to watch when people try and say, well, you don't have the same kind of empathy, for example, George Floyd, we were all really upset about George Floyd.
00:58:11.000But we all knew that we weren't seeing the full context of that tape.
00:58:16.000You see a beginning, middle, and end with the David Dorn tape.
00:58:20.000There was a lot that came out right away with that story, and I think the reason it was so gut-wrenching, too, was because no one in the media was really talking about it.
00:58:28.000This was a guy who really was a pillar of the community, where he served as an officer for many years.
00:58:34.000He was an example that should have and could have been followed, and he was killed, his life was taken, doing exactly what it was that he had done his whole life to try and improve the lives of those in the black community.
00:58:45.000He was never a net drain, he was never a net burden, he was always a net positive, and this is someone we could look to if we're talking about finding common ground, and instead, very little coverage.
01:00:39.000Since everything is being seen through the prism of race and through the prism of guilt and vilification with officers out there and the idea, of course, that they're out hunting young black males and that there are no ramifications for people There are no ramifications for white people, right, who kill black people.
01:00:56.000That's what we're often hearing right now, particularly white officers.
01:01:00.000We do know, and we'll talk about this a little bit more, obviously, the interracial crime is something that needs to be discussed.
01:01:06.000And it needs to be discussed honestly and accurately, and that means looking at the data.
01:01:09.000And the data is pretty clear that black Americans right now are 10 times more likely to commit violence against white Americans than vice versa.
01:01:15.000You just don't know the names of those victims.
01:01:19.000Well, here's another one that you may be surprised to learn about, and there's nothing graphic here, so I don't need to warn you, but I believe his name was, was it Cannon Hinnant?
01:01:30.000A five-year-old in North Carolina who was shot riding his bike in his front yard, and then his neighbor, Darius Sessoms, shot this kid in the head.
01:01:38.000I believe we have a clip from the local news affiliate.
01:01:40.000Five-year-old Cannon Hinnant loved to ride his bike and loved animals.
01:01:45.000His mother tells us he was always smiling and loved his family.
01:01:49.000Now the family is preparing for his funeral.
01:01:52.000Police say 25-year-old Darius Sessoms, a neighbor, shot the child and it was not an accident.
01:02:41.000So do we have any, was this just a case of mistaken identity where he thought it was someone else riding a bicycle on his lawn who he had the right to shoot?
01:02:47.000And by the way, I'm all for property rights and I understand that sometimes mistakes are made if there's a threat, but this is a scenario where, again, we have to wait for some context.
01:02:55.000A five-year-old on a bicycle, I don't know how you make that mistake.
01:02:58.000I can't think of a context where that makes sense.
01:03:01.000No, I can't think of a context where it makes sense, and the police right now haven't thought of a context where that makes sense, because at this point I believe that actually there are charges that have been brought.
01:03:08.000And you were the one who found this story, Reg, right?
01:03:10.000Yeah, no, I just, you know, saw it floating around Twitter, and you just think... The bizarre thing about it is, it's not being reported on by any major outlets.
01:03:37.000So, I mean, you just think if the races were reversed, the headline, you know, five-year-old black boy riding his bike, playing with his sisters, and his white neighbor comes out and shoots him in the head, it would be all we would hear about for months.
01:04:00.000And then they upped the charges and it still wasn't enough.
01:04:02.000And in this case, we're just seeing it reversed.
01:04:05.000And it really is remarkable that you're not seeing this story anywhere.
01:04:07.000I'm not saying it's indicative of all crime going on in this country, but when you look at this and you say, okay, the media is not covering this.
01:04:13.000Let me ask you, have you ever heard the media when they talk about Officers, right?
01:04:20.000Have they ever told you that you're actually more likely to be shot by a cop if you're white?
01:04:24.000Have they ever told you that there's a higher percentage of police officers who are minority than the general population?
01:04:30.000Have they ever told you that more likely to use force against a minority perpetrator is a minority officer?
01:04:35.000Have they ever told you that there's a ten times the rate of black-on-white crime versus white-on-black crime?
01:04:40.000Have they ever told you that the number one cause of death for young black men under the age of 44 is homicide?
01:04:45.000Have they ever told you that an officer is 18 times more likely to be shot by a young black male than vice versa?
01:04:51.000Now, you can look at this through the prism of race, and melanin, as someone like Nick Cannon does, which basically is just a form of genetic supremacy, or you can look at this and say, there is something very broken right now in our culture with broken people, black and white.
01:05:39.000But what I am saying is this is a story that wasn't covered because of political expediency from the media, and statistically you need to understand that this is far more likely than happening when the roles are reversed.
01:05:49.000But when the roles are reversed, that's all you hear about.
01:05:53.000And that's why I think it's important for every American out there to assume that there is no unbiased journalism.
01:05:58.000To assume that you're getting a spin and you have to do your due diligence.
01:06:03.000Because no one, how does no one, I mean this is freaking catnip for fear-mongering media.
01:06:09.000Well yeah, and I think that's the thing that's so disturbing is you think there's no argument that this isn't newsworthy.
01:06:14.000I mean, I have not heard any story like this in recent memory of a child being shot in their front yard, you know, in front of their siblings.
01:06:22.000But, you know, and again, we don't know the motive.
01:06:33.000It's just a tragedy that's not covered equally.
01:06:34.000But where the race comes in is that There was conversations apparently at these news outlets that said don't cover this because of the race, right?
01:06:43.000That's the only explanation is that there were some conversations had at ABC, MSNBC, CNN, NBC, so on and so forth that there was for some reason don't cover this story because it doesn't And I think there were similar conversations, or certainly it would seem that way if you run those searches in those same major outlets.
01:06:59.000With our next guest in the story, of course, Officer David Dorn.
01:07:02.000You can go to ladderwithcrowdershop.com and purchase this shirt.
01:07:05.000All proceeds will go to the family affected.
01:07:17.000And what do you, for Mrs. Ann Dorn, Miss Dorn, Ann, I, you know, it's one of, obviously this is a sensitive subject, and you're on under circumstances that I wish were different, and I get intensely uncomfortable.
01:07:38.000Listen, for people who may not know this story, we were just talking about the media, what they cover, what they don't cover, and for people who watch this stream, we did show a portion of the video of your husband, your late husband, an American hero, and it was one of the hardest things that I ever had watched on air.
01:07:56.000We actually had to cut to someone else.
01:07:57.000I had to kind of gather myself, but Unfortunately, a lot of people out there, and we just found this out last week by the Black Lives Matter activists with whom we spoke on the street in Austin, they weren't familiar with this story at all.
01:08:09.000Could you sort of brief people, for those who aren't in the know, which unfortunately is too many?
01:08:19.000The night of June 2nd, my husband was helping a friend, as he always does, and he was answering an alarm call.
01:08:27.000Which he's done numerous times before without any problems.
01:08:32.000And during that call, he was shot by a looter.
01:09:03.000So both police officers and you, we'll get into kind of the Explorers program, which you did with young people interested in law enforcement.
01:09:09.000And I know I want to make sure that people know there is going to be, before we move on, a Peace March on August 29th in downtown St.
01:09:16.000Louis that I believe you're a part of, correct?
01:10:21.000Sir, I know there is a little bit of an echo, so I apologize if I interrupt.
01:10:24.000I'm also interrupting myself right now, so we're both the victim of my labour mouth.
01:10:29.000Let me ask you this, because right now obviously the narrative is that what is broken is the police force, and that they are targeting young black Americans in record numbers right now.
01:10:37.000That's why we have the Black Lives Matter protest.
01:10:39.000That's what people believe, true or not.
01:10:41.000I think a lot of people aren't aware that there's a higher percentage of police officers who are minorities in the general population, and unfortunately they often get the worst They get the brunt of it because sometimes they're seen as traitors or they're seen as Uncle Tom.
01:11:29.000Whatever he could do to help somebody is, I guess, is what led him in that direction.
01:11:34.000His father was a reserve officer years and years ago, when very few blacks were even on the department and allowed to be on the department.
01:11:43.000So I think having his father as a reserve officer really inspired him to follow in his footsteps.
01:11:49.000Well, yeah, and that's interesting that he wanted to serve his community.
