00:00:19.000Live from New York, it's get off my lawn with Kevin McGuinness.
00:00:26.000Where you're standing jump the creek and watch the sun shine swim.
00:02:19.000That's the Saudi Arabian network, the Arab network, Al Jazeera, has rebranded itself as a cool hipster thing where they push a Muslim agenda and a very left-wing agenda, and part of that is crapping on cops.
00:02:33.000So the two videos are, one, this fit black guy determined to murder a cop, resists tasing and being hit by a car and being hit by a tree, and he gets shot.
00:02:44.000And so this is another example of police brutality, even though the cop is black and he'd be dead if he didn't kill the perp.
00:02:51.000And then another one is a little more ambiguous.
00:02:52.000Chelsea Manning threatened to kill herself and the police entered her house to check on her with guns drawn.
00:02:59.000And I'm told that's a huge no-no, but it doesn't seem like a no-no to me.
00:03:55.000And just the general state of critical thinking today is really hitting all-time low.
00:04:01.000Anyway, in order to explore those two things with any kind of depth and thoroughness, with any kind of ingenuity, with any kind of, God, my vocabulary gets worse every day.
00:08:25.000I've thought about trying it a couple times, and my friends have talked me out of it.
00:08:29.000Well, the crazy part of that video comes later where the family says that our brother or whatever was reaching out for help and he didn't get help.
00:08:43.000I love how they put on the screen, this is a school teacher.
00:08:47.000Look, I don't care if that guy made a merit badge for sewing when he was eight years old in the Cub Scouts.
00:08:52.000It's really irrelevant to the fact that he's running around naked, hyped up on some type of special Mountain Dew and trying to attack and kill a cop.
00:09:00.000Yeah, and making it very clear, I'm going to kill you.
00:09:03.000Yeah, it doesn't, sometimes you wonder, like, well, what was his real intention?
00:09:06.000Well, this time he said he's going to kill him.
00:09:14.000Because here, the cops in New York say they have such a crazy tool belt of stuff from tasers and stun guns and wooden bullets and all this crap that if you shoot a perp, an EDP, an emotionally disturbed person, no matter what he's doing, you're going to lose your job because there's so many other options that you're supposed to try out first.
00:09:36.000Yeah, well, I mean, they tried, he tried talking.
00:09:43.000And then he got attacked after he tased him.
00:09:46.000You can't see exactly what happens with the body cam, but you will notice after the tasing, the cop's hand comes out with the taser and it's got blood all over the taser in his hand.
00:10:31.000Well, first of all, if I was naked, that'd be pretty distracting.
00:10:35.000So that's kind of, I have a weapon, so to speak.
00:10:38.000Yeah, mine's so big I could use it as a giant snake that could wrap around their neck several times.
00:10:43.000I actually become a more deadly weapon when I'm naked.
00:10:46.000I swing it like this and just start hitting the guy like a big dildo.
00:10:52.000But in any unarmed encounter with the cops, there's still always one gun involved, and that's the one that the police officer has.
00:11:01.000An officer at one of my departments was killed by an unarmed 16-year-old that he gave a ride home to after they got into a scuple, and they fell down a flight of stairs together, and the officer hit his head and kind of blacked out and woke up to his gun being out of his holster.
00:11:19.000So that's what people have to understand.
00:11:21.000Okay, well, so I think, and by the way, that cop was black, but AJ Plus and the left is trying to make this another example of racism.
00:11:30.000I was actually surprised that they made that video of that just because of the fact that it already doesn't really fit the narrative that cops are out hunting black folks.
00:11:39.000Well, it's a bright day, and he's not that dark-skinned.
00:11:42.000So your brain could go for like tanned white man, and that's what they're hoping will go with.
00:14:11.000And then you go there and you can maybe hear music, but no one's in there.
00:14:14.000Well, I wouldn't go in the house in that case.
00:14:18.000So this is like every case is different and probably boundaries of state law for what extent you handle well-being checks or wellness checks is going to be different.
00:14:30.000You know, laws are constantly changing with the mental health and how law enforcement relates to that.
00:14:35.000So they're different for juveniles with adults.
00:14:38.000And I would have to have a pretty strong, reasonable suspicion to believe that someone is in danger in the home, whether it's someone in danger of themselves or others before I could enter into that.
00:14:54.000So like the domestic example, if somebody heard arguing and I show up and I don't hear arguing, well, I'm not going to go in the home.
00:15:03.000I don't have any constitutional standing to just walk into somebody's house just because someone called and said they heard arguing.
00:15:09.000So this is a little bit different because somebody with standing in Chelsea's life had to have contacted the police department in order for her to be checked on.
00:15:21.000So when you have family members or someone that has a particular connection and there's a lot of information that AJ Plus or whoever is there is not giving us, then they made the decision to go in.
00:15:34.000And it doesn't seem like they're debating that someone shouldn't have gone to the house or gone in.
00:15:38.000But yeah, I would definitely have a gun drawn and a taser drawn if I'm going in there because two reasons, if you'll indulge me real quick.
00:15:46.000One is there was a young female officer killed here because some guy wanted to kill a cop and called instead the neighbor had a barking dog.
00:15:55.000So they walk up top and then he shoots her in the face with a shotgun.
00:15:58.000So it's not uncommon to get almost like a reverse swatting call that you've got to be careful of.
00:16:05.000It doesn't happen all the time, but that's the problem.
00:16:08.000It's kind of like walk across a minefield and tell them, well, there's only four mines left.
00:18:54.000Anyway, she does these videos called Decoded for MTV, where in a very snarky and patronizing way, she explains to you things that she actually knows nothing about.
00:19:05.000Now, just for fun, and this is lame of me, I'd like to sort of get into her head just for a second here.
00:19:15.000And this type is, usually grew up with a white mom or in a middle-class black family in a white community, went to liberal arts school with white people, is dating a white guy, probably has this script written by white people.
00:19:30.000And what these kind of black people are is they tend to be more militant than normal black people.
00:19:37.000Like you meet a black guy on a construction site, he's not talking about Malcolm X or race at all, really.
00:19:44.000But these people won't shut up about it.
00:19:46.000And I think, and they always have sort of African-y hair, too.
00:19:49.000They never have like Beyoncé weave like real black people like to get.
00:19:53.000They always have to have braids or cornrows or an afro or something.
00:21:37.000There's also a bunch of black people who said cracker.
00:21:40.000So the little thin layer of racism that still exists, and I'm not denying it existed, the thin layer of racism still exists cancels itself out.
00:21:48.000For every time a black guy doesn't get a job, there's an affirmative action guy where he got a job because he's black.
00:21:53.000It's all basically awash at this point.
00:21:55.000And there's a hell of a lot bigger prejudices like, for example, uglyism.
00:22:00.000Uglyism is like 10 light years more prevalent than racism.
00:22:06.000Anyway, let's, I haven't seen this yet, but I can just tell by the title it's going to be fun to debunk her debunking.
00:22:12.000Have you ever had someone try and tell you that racism doesn't exist?
00:24:15.000I mean, the guy's basically Americans.
00:24:17.000If he hustled some paperwork to become president, it's not a big deal to me.
00:24:20.000But I have talked to people, Charles C. Johnson, to be specific, who claims, swears on a stack of Bibles that he's seen the fake birth certificate and it's clearly Photoshopped.
00:27:30.000I want to disadvantage me and my machine based on some mumbo jumbo about race, even though you'd be good for me, make me look good, make my company work better, make my job more secure by hiring you.
00:27:43.000But no, I'm not going to do any of that because of this deep-seated, irrational hatred I have.
00:30:58.000Look, I didn't rob the bank, but I'm definitely spending the money, okay?
00:31:03.000You or your family didn't have to own slaves in order to benefit from slavery.
00:31:07.000Denying the rights of black people resulted in increased wealth, opportunities, and advancement for all white people, even if they didn't directly participate in slavery themselves.
00:31:47.000While it's true that Irish immigrants were often discriminated against in the United States, many came to America as indentured servants, which isn't slavery.
00:31:55.000And while the Irish started as an oppressed group in America, they were able to shed their minority status and become white largely by joining in on the oppression of black people, often through violence.
00:33:14.000But I've seen the New York Times and a lot of people say the new white supremacist trope, the new hot lie, pretending there was Irish slaves.
00:33:22.000So a lot of liberals are just flat out denying it.
00:33:25.000Now, I've seen evidence via Jim Goad that there was more white slaves brought here than black slaves.
00:33:33.000He talks about a pamphlet that talked about 40, 4,000 people kidnapped and spirited away.
00:33:39.000That's why they call, the term spirits, spirited away, comes from drunks being stolen from the streets of London and Wales and Ireland and shipped over here.
00:33:48.000The term kidnap is rooted in slavery, stealing children, napping, stealing passed out people.
00:33:59.000So there's no denying that white slavery existed.
00:34:02.000The indentured servant thing is just a matter of them dying too much in other areas.
00:34:07.000And, and this is, I don't, I only know this as a strong theory, but I can't stand by this.
00:34:13.000There are those who say that the white slavery rate was upwards of 400,000.
00:35:23.000This whole concept that whites just have this red carpet for them, and they use evidence like, well, when a white person gets on an elevator, no one grabs their purse, but when a black guy does, they do.
00:35:33.000Yeah, that's because people have noticed a pattern, and a disproportionate number of purse snatchers in America are black.
00:35:41.000Sorry, they are overrepresented in crime statistics, and people notice patterns.
00:35:46.000People are more dubious shop owners of a young black teenager than a young white teenager because that retail person has noticed a pattern.
00:35:55.000And by the way, cops in New York, remember the stop and frisk thing?
00:36:01.000Cops actually stop black people less than they appear in the crime statistics.
00:36:06.000They stop white people more than they appear in crime statistics.
00:36:11.000So Asian people get on an elevator and no one grabs their purse.
00:36:15.000Noticing a pattern doesn't mean that you are somehow disprivileged.
00:36:19.000And by the way, when you get on an elevator and someone grabs their purse, get mad at the black purse snatcher who generated this pattern, this condition, this stereotype.
00:36:30.000Stereotypes are often based on facts, and crime stats are crime stats, despite the fact that the Attorney General Eric Holder decided to remove race from the crime stats so he could continue whining about how unfair life is.
00:37:40.000They bug me, and I bitch about them a lot.
00:37:42.000I once actually called them booboo bummers by mistake.
00:37:44.000I was so mad, and my wife always calls them boo-boo-bummers now.
00:37:47.000But every baby boomer we know, all our parents, they pretty much grew up poor, right?
00:37:52.000I mean, they're all upper middle class now, and they did great in real estate, and they also have some dumb job like, I'm a consultant, whatever the hell that means.
00:38:01.000But they grew up poor, and that's, and they don't have a posh accent, and they don't, look at the way boomers eat.
00:38:07.000They look like a cave person that just got out of jail because they're not classy.
00:38:14.000So I don't buy classism as a thing, and I obviously don't buy white privilege as a thing.
00:38:21.000And the fact that it's being pounded into our children's heads is actually an example of racism.
00:38:52.000If you're a racist, the term racist, let's just get it settled now.
00:38:56.000It means that I judge someone by their race and I'm incapable of exceptions.
00:39:01.000Of course, you're allowed to notice patterns.
00:39:03.000That's impossible not to notice patterns.
00:39:05.000But as they say in the controversial book, The Bell Curve, Richard Hernstein and Charles Murray say, when you meet someone, you have to start with a blank slate.
00:39:15.000If you don't start with a blank slate, you're racist.
00:42:19.000Yes, she's right that white people get killed by white people, black people get killed by black people, but you're something like 50 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person.
00:42:31.000When you look at black on white crime versus white on black crime, especially with rape, black on white rape versus white on black rape, the statistics are stunning, shocking.
00:42:43.000And to deny this, by the way, even in her thing, I think it's 84% of whites are murdered by whites, something like 96% of blacks are murdered by blacks.
00:42:50.000But the black murder rate, they're 14% of the population, and they represent a massive swath of the murder rates and the crime rates and the rape rates.
00:43:03.000Now, a better argument would be they're driven to this horrible crime stats by poverty and racism and blah, blah, blah, to make excuses for it.
00:43:11.000I get that, and I have excuses for it too.
00:43:25.000But to deny that it exists, that's just amateur hour at the Apollo.
00:43:31.000According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, in 2010, 62,593 blacks were the victims of white violence.
00:43:39.000During that same year, 320,082 whites were the victims of black violence.
00:43:45.000That's five times as many violent attacks, but that number is misleading since the black and white populations are not the same size.
00:43:52.000When 38 million black Americans commit five times as many violent crimes on 197 million whites as they receive, what you discover is that black perpetrators violently assault white victims 25 times more frequently.
00:44:05.000And when it comes to a specific kind of violent crime, aggravated assault, the number of black on white crimes is 200 times higher than white on black crimes.
