While you were celebrating Independence Day, we were doing the work. While you were out celebrating, we are here to talk about the shootings that took place, the crime that s been going on, and give you an answer out of what s happened to our country.
00:01:16.560Next, Highland Park, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.
00:01:19.940The July 4th shooting, everything that took place, the perpetrator, what we know, what we don't know.
00:01:27.040Third, Jayland Walker, this is the Akron situation, fired at Akron police before officers shot him.
00:01:35.280We are going to show everything that took place.
00:01:37.480And then finally, the Philadelphia July 4th shooting.
00:01:41.880Pretty rough weekend in cities this 4th of July, but I hope you had a great one.
00:01:46.700All this and we're ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:01:59.240And now we're going to continue focusing on this.
00:02:02.800We're going to establish a task force on social media and violent extremism to investigate the role of social media in promoting domestic terror.
00:02:12.500And our great leader, our Attorney General, will be championing this cause with every power her office can bring at their disposal.
00:02:19.320Thank you, Senator Bailey, Jamal Bailey, and Senator Assemblymember Desmond Meeks.
00:06:35.600The problem with red flag laws and the problem with these public safety laws is that we know that when you imply them in a blanket measure, they're going to be abused.
00:06:44.560That's why this needs to be done at the local level, not the state, and certainly not at the federal level.
00:06:50.660Free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment.
00:06:55.800Across the country, your constitutional rights are under constant attack.
00:06:59.960And it's only getting worse by the day.
00:07:01.580And that's why Human Events Daily is proud to support Patriot Mobile.
00:07:04.700They're not just America's only Christian conservative self-prone provider.
00:07:08.220They're one of the few companies fighting back.
00:07:10.280They offer the same great nationwide coverage as the major carriers, same towers, and you get the same great service,
00:07:15.420plus the peace of mind that your money is combating the left's attempts to silence you.
00:07:20.020Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team provides excellent customer support.

00:07:32.440constitutional rights, the sanctity of life, and our veteran and first responder heroes.
00:08:21.860Haunting YouTube videos featuring suspect Robert Crimo, Bobby Crimo, who goes by the stage name Awake the Rapper,
00:08:33.780seemed to warn of a Highland Park July 4th mass shooting attack.
00:08:38.440He was named, he was later arrested by law enforcement.
00:08:43.420Now there's a lot going around about this guy.
00:08:46.280And there are people saying, well, you know, he posted political things, and he may have attended a Trump rally, and he may have done all this stuff.
00:08:55.820But at the end of the day, there are people coming out who say that they knew him and said that essentially he wasn't political.
00:09:07.000That he was, you know, there's this tweet thread that somebody put up.
00:09:12.000He said, hi, I knew Awake the Rapper Robert Bobby.
00:09:14.540We used to make music together around 2015, 2018.
00:10:36.360We try to make these into more of a TV show, but in some cases, right, in some cases, people are just crazy.
00:10:43.720And now I've talked about this for years, and we've talked about in Human Events Daily about the shutting down and dismantling of the public mental health systems in our country, pushing people like this onto SSRIs, pushing other people with mental issues out onto the street, and acting as if it's not a social problem, right?
00:11:03.580Just leave them out to die, or keep them hopped up on pharmaceutical cocktails until they snap, right?
00:11:10.120We also know this individual, Robert Cremo, was known to law enforcement.
00:11:15.540Now, law enforcement hasn't explained what they knew about him or how they knew him, what he was doing on their radar.
00:11:20.740But we do see videos of him acting very suspiciously at presidential motorcades, or at least one presidential motorcade.
00:11:30.620I watched the video a bunch of times, but it's really not certain to me, and there isn't a good timestamp on it because the video appears to be a re-upload.
00:11:37.900Because that's the other problem with this, is that these internet social media companies, this is something that if Elon Musk buys Twitter, definitely would ask him about and challenge him on, is why in these cases do we always see Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, right?
00:11:55.040They take down the accounts when people are trying to understand what went on.
00:12:00.480People are trying to understand what the situation was.
00:12:02.340For example, this guy had a video up on YouTube, right, of the parade route that he posted something like 10 months ago.
00:12:12.280The public has a right to understand what's going on, and yet the social media companies, they take it all down.
00:12:19.440And they do it sometimes even before the name is publicly released, which goes to tell me that they're probably in connection with law enforcement when there's situations like this.
00:12:28.800Oh, we had another one take his stuff down.
00:12:30.660Oh, we had another one take his stuff down.
00:12:32.040That's clearly what's going on behind the scenes.
00:12:33.980And if you can't see that, you're just ridiculous.
00:12:37.500And so when you look at these situations, it is incumbent upon these areas.
00:12:44.660And you could coordinate off and you could say, you know, click over 18, whatever you have to do, right, to mark it in some way.
00:12:52.980But at the same time, I think deleting it is the wrong answer.
00:12:56.220You know, as long as he doesn't have actual videos or information of criminal activity, I think you need to leave those up.
00:13:05.020I think the public has a right to know who they're living with.
00:13:08.160And that's so we can deal with these situations in a responsible manner.
00:13:13.240Look, the United States of America is not the first country to deal with schizophrenics, to deal with people with mental issues, right?
00:13:25.040Every society throughout human history has had to deal with people like this.
00:13:30.000There is a certain quotient in every society that is going to be like this.
00:13:45.560And more importantly, from all of that, also protect the rest of society from them.
00:13:51.700How do you make sure you're not falsely identified?
00:14:21.700Next up today, and again, I wish this was a more patriotic episode, but unfortunately, we have to talk clear-eyed about what's going on in our country today.
00:15:07.120Certainly don't be there for public events.
00:15:09.440And I'm sorry to say that, but you need to avoid these areas until further notice, until this national obsession with social reform and obsession with defund the police and let everybody out of prison and don't do anything about mental health, right?
00:15:29.900Until we actually fix any of those problems, you cannot be going to cities and large events like this.
00:15:48.800And we had the initial reports, and Drew Hernandez was on, talked about this.
00:15:53.320And the Akron Police Department over the weekend released graphic body cam footage, which revealed shocking details surrounding the fatal officer-involved shooting of suspect Jalen Walker.
00:16:05.440Jalen Walker died on 25 years old, died Monday, earlier in June, after Akron police officers, or excuse me, no, it was just one week ago, fired more than 60 rounds of bullets into his body after evading police during pursuits.
00:16:21.780According to the body cam footage, it's actually not body cam footage.
00:16:25.740It's a, that's a typo on Post Millennial, I'll have to fix that, that according to traffic cam footage, you can see the muzzle flash of a gun firing from Jalen's vehicle at the police while they're chasing him.
00:16:51.820He turns towards the police and they say, eight officers say, and by the way, one of those eight officers, also black, saw this individual, Jalen Walker, turn towards them and they said he reached for his waistband.
00:17:07.540And at that point, that's when the eight officers thought that he was about to fire on them.
00:17:21.620It's horrific whenever anything like this happens.
00:17:24.260But those officers were responding to what they considered, reasonably, by the way, considered to be an armed suspect who was presenting a direct, immediate threat to them.
00:17:35.760What we later found out was that he had actually left his gun on the car seat of the car that he was in.
00:17:45.080He also left a wedding ring, a wedding band on the car seat in his car.
00:17:53.820If you go back and listen to some of the interviews with his family, we find out that his fiancee was killed in a car accident just one month before this.
00:18:04.820We also found out from the Akron FOP, it was revealed that the car he was driving was involved in a felony police pursuit just one day prior.
00:18:18.160So you remember, initially, we weren't sure what it was that the interaction was that they pulled him over, what the incident was with the violation.
00:18:26.540Why did he pull over in the first place?
00:18:29.900And according to the Akron FOP statement, it looks as though there may have been another crime involving if he was driving it.
00:18:38.900But we do know that it was likely the same car, probably the same license plate.
00:18:42.640And so I want you to watch the rest of mainstream media because I sat there this weekend and I looked at this and none of the mainstream media, none of them, I was following these people, were admitting that he shot at the police first.
00:19:11.060Regardless of what your feelings are on the police, if you shoot at the police, guess what kind of response you're going to get if you open fire on them from the window of your moving vehicle.
00:19:21.320And I actually saw some local journalists there in Akron.
00:20:20.860And that every single thing, every moment that takes place after that response is essentially going to follow from that, because that changes the nature of the interaction.
00:20:32.380And how many officers have been ambushed, how many officers have been shot, how many officers have been murdered in just the last two years and certainly in the last decade or so since Black Lives Matter started.
00:20:43.580You can go back and look at the homicide rates throughout the 1990s, going down, going down, going down, going down, going down, all the way until 2013, right, when Black Lives Matter started and suddenly homicide rates start going back up again.
00:21:12.140Police are worried about going in and enforcing the law because they're not sure that the courts will have their backs and they don't want to become the next Eric Chauvin.
00:21:23.020And then you have situations like this where they know it's all on body cam, but they see a guy who they think is about to open fire on them.
00:21:29.640And so they are taking steps to defend their lives.
00:22:16.180In my beloved city of Philadelphia, two police officers are shot during the 4th of July fireworks taking place at the Welcome America Festival.
00:22:29.420Which 15 years ago, I used to always go to this.
00:22:32.960I used to go to this every year with my parents.
00:23:17.140While the fireworks are still going off, the fireworks are still going on in the background because that's your government acting like nothing's happening.
00:23:26.320And thousands of people are screaming in terror on the ground.
00:23:41.740Meanwhile, people are getting shot up.
00:23:43.600Whether it's a parade in Highland Park, whether it's police officers in Philadelphia, and they're turning around saying, oh, don't worry about it.
