On today's episode, we discuss the Lancaster Riots, the loss of funding for the LAPD, and the lack of coverage of the riots in Lancaster, PA. Also, we talk about why we should all be worried about the Los Angeles riots and why we shouldn't be either.
00:02:59.000So, I want to know if you expect to see more of this.
00:03:03.000And I want to see really quickly, before we move into the Lancaster protests, see what they're covering on CNN.
00:03:11.000Pfizer and their CEO and my company declined funding for vaccine research.
00:03:14.000Oh, I'll tell you that really quickly.
00:03:15.000The reason they're declining federal funding for the vaccine research is so they can be independent and provide it, hopefully, more soon without you accusing Donald Trump of politicizing it.
00:03:24.000Just like Hickenlooper accused Donald Trump, I believe it was Hickenlooper, one of those second-rate DNC candidates, accused Donald Trump of politicizing the wildfires while saying, the only way, I quote, the only hope we have of putting out these wildfires is voting Joe Biden.
00:03:39.000I do enjoy how you can switch between different sites and they'll go from, Donald Trump sends billions to vaccine research, funds cronies in the pharma industry, and then you go to like to the next page and it's like, Donald Trump refuses to support pharma and hard-working... Donald Trump hates science, accelerates vaccine trials by cutting through red tape.
00:07:44.000I think a restraining order for a would-be rapist going back to the house, stealing the keys of the woman that he allegedly raped or anything.
00:08:08.000I think that's what they're learning to have to do.
00:08:10.000Well, that's not what they're supposed to do right away.
00:08:12.000They're supposed to be processed, but they're going, ah, crap.
00:08:14.000At this point, they have to release it.
00:08:16.000They're burning down the sites from Witness.
00:08:21.000We won't have any more visitors go and see where we shot Witness out here, so we need to release this footage to protect these historic landmarks in Lancaster.
00:08:28.000You know, and that's what's incredible, that they're, in the call for justice, they're actually making sure that justice is not done.
00:08:34.000So instead of actually doing investigations, they're doing it the wrong way.
00:08:37.000Now, I know, you know, the way that we approach these, especially on the show, is we talk a lot about how these officers are and how they're showing it, but what's really interesting is that these officers, every single one of them, even in the most justified homicides, these officers are traumatized.
00:10:24.000Stabbed four people, including a teenager!
00:10:27.000And also, at a certain point, can we admit that people like Jacob Blake, that people like Munoz here, meaning people who commit these crimes, I'm talking about protect Can we all agree that some kid with a baggie of weed shouldn't spend years behind bars?
00:10:40.000Can we admit that people who repeatedly commit violent crimes and flagrantly disregard arrest
00:10:45.000warrants, restraining orders, that there needs to be something done and it needs to be forceful?
00:10:49.000If we can all agree that some kid with a baggie of weed shouldn't spend years behind bars,
00:10:54.000can we all agree that someone who has a history of serial violence should probably never be out
00:11:00.000in a way that doesn't mark them so everyone knows that they're a threat to society?
00:11:27.000Well, and the police officer, I don't know if you saw the video, he was walking up to the house, very calm, you know?
00:11:32.000Everything was, like, he understood he had a scene that he was going to to make sure people were okay, but he wasn't, like, guns drawn going in.
00:11:38.000Like, if this guy had shown up at the door holding the knife, just standing there, he'd have been like, sir, drop the knife, drop the knife, you know?
00:11:43.000He would have, like, this would have ended totally differently than running out, like, trying to go after somebody like Freddy Krueger.
00:12:49.000Speaking of which, we're going to defund you by $150 million, which is what they did in Los Angeles.
00:12:54.000And that also brings us to, oh yeah, the latest installment here.
00:12:57.000A&E, a lot of people were mad, and your pressure, your sort of boycott, forced them to bring back, not the old iteration of COPS, but the new iteration.
00:13:08.000We have a preview here of A&E's new series, No Cops.
00:13:11.000Tonight on no cops Stay tuned for more no cops
00:13:40.000Man it's not compelling. There's no third act Gotta have the story arc, you know take it up any at least
00:13:49.000with the cops There was an act, you know, there was a there was a there
00:13:52.000was a middle and there was a third There was a climax, but this is just sort of happens
00:13:55.000Well that that sound will help him as he's dying. Like it's a very calming sound the phone ring
00:13:59.000Just feel like I'm a fly in a systemically racist wall Oh.
00:14:06.000I do appreciate the realism though, right?
00:15:24.000So, um, then after this, what happened was, uh, you had Black Lives Matter protesters, uh, who were trying to go visit, they claim, they wanted to go visit who they referred to as the murderers, the officers in the hospital, uh, with some of them yelling, uh, we hope you die.
00:16:00.000Nowhere else outside of a Black Lives Matter antifa protest would one person say, we hope you die, mother effer, to someone who was an attempted assassination with other people going, Everybody agrees.
00:16:54.000I've seen Hickenlooper go up there and say, our only chance to put out these wildfires is to elect Joe Biden.
00:17:01.000I don't know, how about you stop the arsonists who lit some of the fires and allow us to burn away some of the brush which you can't, burn away some of the vegetation controlled burns like we used to, and let the state build some dams so you can actually have access to water.
00:19:22.000The saddest part about that is that actually at some point if you don't have definitions of gender or race or anything else to be able to describe people, anyone could walk in and go, no that's totally my husband.
00:19:37.000If I don't have to show ID to vote, I definitely don't have to show it to go see my wife.
00:19:41.000If I don't have to show ID to vote, I definitely don't have to show it to go see my wife.
00:19:58.000You guys have a light, I'm gonna... Yeah, this is like a protester, somebody... I mean, just use a protester, right?
00:20:03.000Somebody doing a protest and they get shot and it's like every, like, Donald Trump supporter showing up at the hospital, or anybody that's a Donald Trump supporter showing up and saying, yeah, I hope they die too.
00:20:14.000You can say that police officers or whatever officers are involved in this are murderers and that they're all racist, but cops that were literally sitting in their car doing nothing at the time, that haven't been accused of being the people that shot somebody in a racist torrent... THEY'RE A PART OF THE SYSTEM!
00:21:13.000Even we were stretching with the COVID one, because some of the arguments were totally irrational.
00:21:19.000I don't know if you guys, go back and watch that.
00:21:22.000There was a girl, very nice, she sat down and she was talking about COVID and she was out there in Dallas doing everything, acting like it wasn't really a threat.
00:21:28.000And when I told her about the numbers, how they were inflated, she goes, oh my god, now you're making me terrified of COVID.
00:21:32.000I said, well, hold on, but I'm telling you, it's actually not as bad as she's like, but there's still COVID, though!
00:23:33.000And so, a six-round wheel gun isn't going to get it done.
00:23:37.000Look at the reason that cops carry high-capacity magazines because of the Miami shootout, where they were outgunned by gang members who just were using semi-automatics, and they kept reloading their magazines, reloading their magazines.
00:23:48.000So criminals, often being multiple people at once, if you're someone with a limited-capacity weapon, it's going to be a problem.
00:23:55.000And guns can be used as you see here with an ambush on cops.
00:23:58.000This is the most illogical argument and shows you transparently the immediate pivot.
00:25:58.000I think this is an absolute tragedy and of course people have been emboldened to shoot officers.
00:26:01.000So we've just gone through two very clear examples where officers had their lives in danger.
00:26:06.000I'm not just talking about is the shooting justified or not or is some kind of a punishment justified.
00:26:10.000I'm talking about why don't we care about the lives of these people?
00:26:13.000I thought after the Dallas shooting we'd go, ah, you know what, they have a tough job.
00:26:16.000It is amazing, just like when you call Trump supporters Nazis and it makes it okay to shoot them, execute them in the street, or just punch them in the face, right?
00:26:25.000When you say that police officers, all police officers, are part of an inherently racist, white supremacist, systemic racist system, It makes it justifiable to commit all these... We're seeing the fruits of it.
00:26:36.000We are seeing people justify actions that Americans would have thought completely unfathomable.
00:26:41.000So if you actually buy this idea that your only hope to stop climate change is to vote Joe Biden, well guess what?
00:26:47.000Your only hope to try and put an end to this lawlessness is to vote for the guy who's actually called it out!
00:27:08.000Yeah, apparently it was a wazzawoozle from a Dr. Seuss book.
00:27:14.000How many people who work security there, how many police officers there do you think have been in this situation, who almost didn't come home that night?
00:27:20.000Do you think any of those NFL players walk up to them and go, hey man, thanks, I get that I have a multi-million dollar contract, and I go out there, I get all the glory, but I wouldn't be able to do this safely if not for you actually guarding people from the stands, preventing them from walking on, not just to mention naked streakers, which is kind of gross, but people who could want to, you know, live in my basement like stalkers from David Letterman.
00:27:37.000How often do you think they give them a pat on the back and appreciate it?
00:27:40.000Because I tell you what, we do it all the time.
00:27:42.000All the time when we have any security that goes out there.
00:27:45.000And even when we had police officers who refused to show up when we were in Illinois to be paid overtime because of the union issue there when we did have private security show up.
00:27:53.000We wouldn't be able to do this without you.
00:28:01.000Not only do they often not get to go home at night, and I don't just mean dead, they might end up in the ICU, but they also know that even if they take the actions necessary to protect the would-be rape victim and themselves from a man screaming with a knife like he's in The Revenant, That they're going to be on the nightly news unless the body cam footage is released right away and their reputation is ruined for years to come.
00:30:31.000Speaking of Joe Biden, we're also going to be talking about cuties.
00:30:35.000This is just really quickly, the guy who doesn't know anything about gun laws also is being busted recently.
00:30:40.000Been busted multiple times for using a teleprompter.
00:30:43.000Which, you know, listen, you do have to be prepared and you take any edge you can get when you're going into the hard-hitting territory of James Corden.
00:31:05.000He's gonna single-handedly put out the fires. I tell you what I have always and I used to get crap from
00:31:08.000conservatives John Stewart I always thought was funny Stephen Colbert was really funny
00:31:11.000doing his character Bill Maher had some kind of funny stuff. Of course. I
00:31:15.000always thought David Letterman Jimmy Kimmel They can be funny, but the new breed the Trevor Noah
00:31:20.000Samantha B and several and James Corden I honestly like it almost seems like when you when people
00:31:26.000were they were self they were self I'm trying to think comedians who sucked who didn't believe
00:31:32.000in themselves They would try and find the crappiest opener and you could
00:31:35.000see it like I would try and find the best opener I possibly could openers ended up being a last comic
00:31:40.000standing those you would find Comics who get a crappy opener because they just don't want
00:31:45.000anyone to see No one I feel like that's what the networks are doing with
00:31:48.000Trevor Noah and James Corden They're going let's get a mediocre middler so that they can
00:31:53.000just become a puppet and say whatever we want them to say They can't come in and ask for too much money, which we don't have anymore because no one's watching our shows.
00:31:59.000It's the only explanation I can have for someone who is fat, uneducated, and unfunny.
00:32:06.000But still, Joe Biden had to not prepare, but have his prompter at the ready.
00:32:32.000One of those sons is having sex with the other son's wife, I believe.
00:32:34.000And why would that picture be too heavy to pick up?
00:32:38.000Unless it's made of solid brass slash mercury, I have no idea.
00:32:42.000And not only is he dumb enough to require a prompter, he's dumb enough to not realize the basic concept of reflection.
00:32:52.000And it's totally fine if he just has a monitor there so that he can see himself and he can see who he's talking to, but there were words and there was highlighting going down.
00:33:14.000It's like, Joe, everybody thinks you're weak, so when you lift this picture, make sure you say how heavy it is first, that it's almost impossible for a normal man to lift it and then lift it carefree right down.
00:33:24.000And then we're gonna pan and have a carnival barker who guesses weight saying, my, that old man is fit as a fiddle!
00:34:43.000Look, if you're giving a speech and you want to have a prompter, like you said, you want to have a couple of key dates and facts written down so that you're accurate on what you say, that's fine.
00:34:50.000But when people are asking you questions... Oh, it's even worse.
00:34:52.000Let me show the next clip and then we'll talk about it more.
00:34:54.000Here's another clip where when people are already asking pre-written questions, which really the reason you do that is so you don't need a prompter.
00:35:53.000Not from the leftist media, but I mean from conservatives out there who actually have some valid criticisms.
00:35:58.000Not being able to go off book or be on his feet is not one of them.
00:36:01.000The problem that people have is like, why won't he just stick to the script?
00:36:04.000Whereas Joe Biden has showcased that he is completely incapable of doing it without a script.
00:36:09.000So if they do any kind of a debate, this would be a huge advantage, again, to try and tip the scale so that Biden seems like anything other than the demented old pants pooping circus monkey that he is.
00:36:19.000Yeah, well even when he had two brain cells to rub together, they were like, don't go off script because he might say something racist or insane.
00:36:26.000Which he did frequently in 2008 and 2012 whenever they were going into office.
00:36:35.000I don't know why we expect anything different.
00:36:37.000And seriously, a pre-recorded question?
00:36:40.000You have every opportunity to go through this and go, That girl asked a question about this.
00:36:45.000Here are my three or four things that I want to hit.
00:37:49.000Just say like, you know, okay, look, I'll give you just some, you just take from option, column A, column B, column C, anyone, feed me a political question and I will give you a non-answer answer that Joe Biden could do.
00:38:02.000What was the score of the Cowboys game last night?
00:38:04.000Well you know what, I appreciate you taking the time to ask the question in these turbulent times, and people like you, the working class are the backbone of America, and while I don't know the score to that game, and then bridge to whatever it is, only he can't bridge to anything, because in his mind, it's a bridge to nowhere all the time!
00:39:37.000I mean, really, we're not... He should be in a home?
00:39:40.000Yeah, no, we don't want to be talking about this right now.
00:39:42.000What the Democrats should have done in the primaries is somebody should have said, hey, stop, this guy cannot do this job.
00:39:47.000We are going to put him out there and he is going to fall apart in front of people.
00:39:51.000They should have done the humane thing and said, Joe, your time is done, just move on, and it would have been fine.
00:39:57.000But now you've put him out in front of the world and said he's completely competent, and that forces us to show you day in and day out that he's not.
00:40:03.000The humane thing would be to put him next to Scott Rich in the deep freezer.
00:40:10.000Alright, let's move on to speaking of whatever cuties Peace.
00:40:19.000We talked about it last week, but oh my god.
00:40:22.000When people talk about this country turning into a land of degenerates, and we're going to, after this, take your chat and show the Hodgetwins, by the way, Jiu-Jitsu.
00:40:29.000A whole segment for Mug Club members only.
00:40:33.000I have covered crappy media for a very long time, but seldom am I at a loss for words.
00:43:29.000But it was the biggest story anywhere!
00:43:31.000It was so big, as a matter of fact, that we have Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, Jim Banks, and Ted Cruz sent a letter to the Attorney General Bill Barr asking them to investigate.
00:43:40.000So there's a call right now to investigate whether Netflix, its executives, or filmmakers violated any federal laws against production and distribution of child pornography.
00:44:36.000He should, at that point, because before it had been released, he could have said, you know what, people are really worried about this release of Cuties because the number one trends for weeks were, hey, this could be a violation of child pornography.
00:44:47.000But even worse than that is Poppy Harlow, who is very fetching, I will give her that, did an interview the next day, I guess, after the pre-tip.
00:45:03.000Not a single question about the show that is actually spurred demands for an investigation into child pornography, distribution, and violation of laws.
00:45:16.000Whether you think it is or not, and we'll ask Bill where he can explain to us where he lines up, enough viewers Think it's an issue.
00:45:25.000And keep in mind, this is at the same time that Governor Gavin Newsom just signed a bill into law where they lowered penalties for sex offenders who abuse minors.
00:46:19.000One, so without question, like looking at the content of the movie and the description of it and the way that it's been portrayed is without question we've crossed a moral line.
00:46:28.000And so then you get to the question of the legal line, right?
00:46:32.000First of all, a lot of folks are like, well, you know, looking for child porn law and I
00:46:37.000can't find a law that says child porn.
00:46:39.000That's because it's more accurately described.
00:46:41.000And the word they actually use is CSAM, child sexual abuse material.
00:46:47.000Because any act of filming a child in any of these types of situations is an act of
00:46:52.000abuse and circulating that material is another form of child sexual abuse.
00:46:58.000So I actually appreciate that that word is used, because there could be pornography that is legal.
00:47:03.000And all child pornography, however that term is, it's not a legal term, but however that term is used, definitely bad.
00:47:09.000The reason we use this specific term is because it's bad.
00:47:11.000Because it's also broader than just pornography that we're Absolutely.
00:47:14.000It gives us more protection of minors, as opposed to, for example, with pornography, if there's no consent, obviously that's illegal, if there's an abuse of other laws.
00:47:22.000But you're saying with this, it's broad enough that any depiction of sexual activity... Well, and the whole point is because a child cannot consent, right?
00:47:29.000Because of the idea that... Well, hormone blockers, but that's another day, yeah.
00:47:32.000Right, I mean we could just change their entire biological makeup and it's totally fine, but you know, but separate and apart from the definition of the word CSAM, it's the question of, you know, people often ask, and actually the NCMEC, which is the National Center for Missing and Endangered Children, you know, they often get questioned, federal authorities get a question like, oh man, like my parents took a photo of me when I was like in the bathtub, or like as a very young kid, right?
00:47:55.000And so there's one set of categories of when you're actually engaged in sexual acts, no questions, always bad, no question at all.
00:48:04.000Then there's this question of how do you have a test that decides when material is lascivious enough, is usually the word used in most state and in the federal statutes, to decide is this depiction intended to be sexual?
00:48:25.000And that's why when you look at the context and how it's presented, that's really where the main problem, regardless of whether it actually crosses the legal threshold of child pornography or CSAM, in those particular issues is the question of, is this the kind of thing that we are encouraging children to engage in sexual materials?
00:48:42.000Now, I know what the rebuttals have been, right?
00:48:44.000The rebuttals have been, well, it's actually a critique of that.
00:48:47.000It's actually saying, we don't think that these young women should be doing it, so we showed a bunch of it.
00:48:52.000Oh, but don't worry, the parents were horrified when they watched it.
00:49:02.000But a point, Quarterblack made this point earlier before the show is, remember, you mentioned this in the very first show on Cuties when you said, 650.
00:49:13.000And the director said, oh, she was 651.
00:50:26.000So that was seen as lascivious enough where it was a problem.
00:50:28.000And now we've obviously changed where basically what would once be considered hardcore pornography is an advertisement for lingerie where you can just find it walking through the mall or on a billboard for, you know, once upon a time American apparel.
00:50:40.000And I don't want to see that eroding of the standard with children.
00:50:45.000I don't want people to go like you see with that Slate article going, oh this is from QAnon faux outrage reactionaries from the right.
00:51:35.000We're locking everybody down so that at some point it doesn't stop the virus.
00:51:38.000When we go back out, old people will be just as at risk and more of them will die, granted, in between now and then if we're in states where Governor Whitmer or Cuomo has sent young people into nursing homes.
00:51:49.000But the exact wrong strategy to protect the most vulnerable among us, the sick and the old.
00:51:54.000We should go on with our lives in society and help older people and sick people stay home.
00:51:59.000But because we need to politically grandstand, because we need to go out there with the optics and say, hey look, we've flattened the curve, we're going to put older people at risk.
00:52:05.000Right now, when we talk about women of color, right?
00:52:09.000Well, we are doing the exact wrong thing when you demonize officers who are responding to calls of Either serial rapists or sexual abusers, or people, like we talked about today in Lancaster, currently with a knife abusing this woman.
00:52:23.000When a woman of color calls two, three times in a row, and the police officers defend that woman who can't defend herself by force, using force, and then you say, we need to defund the police.
00:52:51.000Maybe once upon a time that was a valid argument, but now you have kids twerking and humping couches at nine years old and you're distributing it to people who could be God knows how old on the world's biggest multimedia platform and the media doesn't make you answer for it at all!
00:53:09.000This false culture of victimhood always, always creates more real victims or at the very least ends up damaging those who live in a real victimhood realm more than you could possibly imagine.
00:53:24.000Oh, kids can't go back to school even though they're almost entirely immune to COVID.
00:53:28.000Hey, how do you feel about humping that BOSU ball?
00:53:33.000And if they really were trying to do a critique, they did a bad job of it, but the biggest reason is they forgot to critique during the film.
00:54:11.000He said everybody just go watch it and Joe Biden said hey shut up I'm watching cuties.
00:54:15.000So, one thing I definitely want to say is that regardless of whether or not the actual images turn out to be of adults versus minors, or whether or not, you know, cheeky pants or sexually suggestive dancing actually crosses the existing specific statutes that we have, right?
00:54:33.000Remember, civil case, here's the statute.
00:54:34.000Criminal case, it's even higher, right?
00:54:36.000for a reason, because you're putting people in jail and you're endangering their lives
00:54:39.000once they have committed a crime and they're convicted.
