Louder with Crowder - Jacob Blake Shooting & BLM Riots! | TheQuartering Guests | Good Morning #MugClub

00:00:01.000 It begins on a dark night.

00:00:05.000 Look at this!

00:00:06.000 You're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years.

00:00:20.000 Subject for today!

00:00:22.000 Will you hand me the...

00:00:36.000 Yeah!

00:00:38.000 Longest slurp ever!

00:00:39.000 You gotta get a timer in here.

00:00:41.000 You gotta time that.

00:00:43.000 You nailed it.

00:00:44.000 Eat your heart out, CNN.

00:00:47.000 Really glad to be with you today.

00:00:49.000 We have a lot to get to.

00:00:50.000 We're going to talk about the DNC convention post-convention bump.

00:00:54.000 And there isn't one.

00:00:55.000 We're going to be talking about completely justifiable officer shootings.

00:00:59.000 Officers shooting, I should say.

00:01:01.000 People get it confused.

00:01:02.000 I think that's a legal term.

00:01:03.000 And we'll have the quartering.

00:01:04.000 His name is Jeremy?

00:01:05.000 Jeremy.

00:01:06.000 Jeremy.

00:01:07.000 I don't know.

00:01:07.000 I forget his last name.

00:01:08.000 But he will be here to talk about Leafy being banned on YouTube, along with him potentially meddling with election.

00:01:12.000 I can't believe we're talking about Leafy.

00:01:13.000 Are we talking about Leafy today?

00:01:15.000 I don't know, it's a douchebag name, but it doesn't mean that his speech should not be protected as well.

00:01:22.000 My half-Asian lawyer Bill Wichman is not here, he is in court because he has a real job, so Audio Wade is oddly in third chair.

00:01:27.000 I'm doing well, how are you?

00:01:27.000 How are you?

00:01:28.000 I don't care!

00:01:32.000 Tim from HR is in charge of audio, and then Gerald A. is back!

00:01:36.000 Yes!

00:01:37.000 A lot of people thought you were dead.

00:01:39.000 Despite the reports, I am not fired or dead.

00:01:41.000 I know, there's always a conspiracy.

00:01:43.000 And even the Hodge ones are like, what happened to the white guy with the blonde hair who's tall?

00:01:48.000 The Aryan dude! 1.00

00:01:49.000 Where's that guy?

00:01:50.000 Yeah, and they just said, I'm glad he's gone.

00:01:53.000 No, not here.

00:01:54.000 But your testicles were working overtime because you had a baby. 1.00

00:01:58.000 Well, nine months ago they were, yes.

00:01:59.000 We're a little late to the game on that one, but yeah.

00:02:02.000 And then you pretty much take a recess.

00:02:04.000 I take a recess from that particular activity, yes.

00:02:09.000 And what's the name of little Gerald?

00:02:11.000 Little Luke Morgan.

00:02:13.000 Do you think he looks more like you, or more like the Mistress? 0.76

00:02:16.000 In some ways he looks a lot like me, in other ways her.

00:02:18.000 So we've heard from both, like nurses would say both.

00:02:20.000 So you said, and I actually think he looks a lot more like you than the mom.

00:02:24.000 I think we have a picture too of Gerald A., adorable little baby.

00:02:27.000 I think he looks... Look at him!

00:02:29.000 Yeah!

00:02:30.000 The glasses and everything.

00:02:31.000 It's uncanny!

00:02:32.000 Receding hairline that early?

00:02:34.000 I see it both ways.

00:02:34.000 Jeez!

00:02:35.000 I don't know, I mean it's hard to... I see it as a lazy photoshop.

00:02:38.000 Oh my gosh.

00:02:40.000 I see that whoever was working had already clocked out like Gerald for nine months.

00:02:45.000 But the shading!

00:02:46.000 My question of the day to everyone out there is, have you noticed that the goalposts, and we're going to be getting into a couple of police shootings, have moved now?

00:02:54.000 Completely.

00:02:55.000 As far as it used to be unarmed black men to now it's just black men with a weapon that's slightly less effective than the police officers. 0.93

00:03:02.000 Right.

00:03:03.000 And when do you think it's appropriate for a police officer to shoot?

00:03:05.000 Do you think that they should only be able to use lethal force if you are completely unarmed?

00:03:09.000 I don't think most Americans think that, but you know what?

00:03:12.000 I've been known to be out of touch with that.

00:03:13.000 A little bit right now.

00:03:14.000 The Change My Minds are a rude awakening.

00:03:16.000 Also, please do subscribe to Crowder Bits and Mug Club.

00:03:20.000 LightOfTheCrowder.com slash Mug Club.

00:03:21.000 That's the only thing that allows us to survive, that allows us to create the Change My Minds and purchase bulletproof vests.

00:03:29.000 Everything, actually.

00:03:30.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03:31.000 Hopefully we'll do the bulletproof cars.

00:03:40.000 Before we move on to some stories, this is fun.

00:03:43.000 Biden is one of three candidates to ever not receive a post-convention bounce.

00:03:50.000 The only other ones were McGovern and Kerry.

00:03:54.000 That's rough.

00:03:55.000 So this is a bounce in what?

00:03:56.000 In the approval?

00:03:56.000 Post-convention.

00:03:58.000 Post-convention bounce, I guess, just as far as their voting.

00:04:00.000 You know, the only reason to have a convention is basically to get out there and have a parade of your ideas.

00:04:05.000 Well, that's a good idea!

00:04:07.000 He didn't get out there.

00:04:08.000 No, he didn't.

00:04:08.000 No, he stayed in his bomb shelter, which is not bulletproof because that would be a byproduct of white patriarchy.

00:04:15.000 At least he didn't do a carry where he had a negative one bomb.

00:04:19.000 The more we hear about you, the less we like you.

00:04:21.000 And I don't know, that could just be because it was the year they introduced HD.

00:04:26.000 You definitely don't want 1080p.

00:04:28.000 Those things are cavernous.

00:04:30.000 It's like Cami Diaz.

00:04:32.000 4K just ended her career.

00:04:38.000 Now I don't want to give anybody a false sense of hope, okay?

00:04:41.000 Get out and vote.

00:04:42.000 And this is, you know, and this is where I sometimes I just wish I were, I wish that I was a Democrat.

00:04:45.000 I could vote twice.

00:04:47.000 Or dead.

00:04:48.000 Either way.

00:04:49.000 You know?

00:04:50.000 It's my legacy.

00:04:52.000 A little piece of me stays, and that's my vote.

00:04:56.000 I don't want to give you a false sense of hope, but I am more confident now, I think, that Donald Trump will win.

00:05:01.000 Why do I think?

00:05:02.000 Do I think Donald Trump will get a bump post-convention?

00:05:04.000 I do, because it has to be a message of optimism.

00:05:07.000 We've talked about this.

00:05:07.000 I think they might have been watching the stream a little bit, because this wasn't the focus of the campaign.

00:05:11.000 But then, and I hate to say it, people are like, I started it!

00:05:14.000 I found out about Pizzagate!

00:05:19.000 But I did talk about this.

00:05:20.000 The Democrats, they need a message of negativity right now.

00:05:22.000 The deck is decked against you.

00:05:23.000 The economy is collapsing.

00:05:25.000 You can't do it yourself, so you need this transcendent political figure to save you, which is Joe Biden, who's been in government for 64 years.

00:05:31.000 65th the charm!

00:05:34.000 And then, on the Republican side, it has to be, hey, we did have the best economy ever.

00:05:37.000 Hey, we haven't been in major wars.

00:05:40.000 Hey, we actually have had the lowest crime until, of course, the rioting.

00:05:43.000 You call them protest, tomato, riot, burning down of Walgreens.

00:05:47.000 That needs to be the message for Republicans to win.

00:05:49.000 People need to be optimistic for Republicans to win.

00:05:52.000 People need to be pessimistic for Democrats to win.

00:05:54.000 And they need to be pessimistic and not believe that they're in control of their own destiny at all.

00:05:58.000 They have to believe that things are really bad and the only way it can be fixed Is Joe Biden.

00:06:04.000 Which to me, that is a horrible thing.

00:06:06.000 It's gotta be really sad to be a Democrat, yeah.

00:06:09.000 You gotta watch, again, this horrible narrative, and then, yes, your savior.

00:06:13.000 I wanna go quick to CNN.

00:06:15.000 This lady looks like if Kellyanne Conway were one of those little, like, dinosaurs you get in the cereal packets that you put in water. 1.00

00:06:21.000 This is after you put Kellyanne Conway in water. 0.99

00:06:24.000 You leave it in too long, it gets bubbly.

00:06:26.000 Yes, you leave it in too long, it gets bubbly.

00:06:29.000 And I'm sure she's a nice lady. 1.00

00:06:31.000 I get so pissed off about the USPS thing, by the way.

00:06:33.000 Anyway, bite my tongue.

00:06:34.000 Why?

00:06:35.000 That's because you weren't here for two weeks.

00:06:36.000 Because, no, no!

00:06:37.000 He was busy fathering!

00:06:39.000 No, no, no, I was watching the show!

00:06:40.000 It's all about overtime, that's all it is!

00:06:42.000 Why couldn't you just be like one of these guys involved in officer shootings and just you know take off?

00:06:45.000 Huh?

00:06:49.000 What pisses you off about the USPS what pisses me off and we do have to get to the justified police shootings

00:06:56.000 Oh, yeah, is is that they conflate?

00:06:58.000 Absentee balling right mail-in out. Yeah, because because I've been

00:07:02.000 I've been, I have voted before by absentee ballot because I've been traveling.

00:07:05.000 I've talked about it.

00:07:06.000 Yeah, very different.

00:07:06.000 There's identification.

00:07:08.000 You have to request it first.

00:07:09.000 Yes.

00:07:10.000 You have to do a lot of things.

00:07:11.000 My problem with this entire thing right here is one, that the USPS does not need a single cent to be able to get this done.

00:07:16.000 Two, if every person in America voted, that would be 75% of the mail they process in one day.

00:07:22.000 Not every person in America is going to vote.

00:07:23.000 They're not all registered.

00:07:24.000 I have all these letters for Santa Claus.

00:07:26.000 Exactly.

00:07:26.000 So there's no issue there.

00:07:27.000 And by the way, the issue with what they're saying, like, oh, he cut overtime?

00:07:31.000 That's the issue.

00:07:32.000 It's unions pissed off that he cut overtime because they would have to complete the mail once they started.

00:07:36.000 He changed the whole system to make it better, and they're pissed about it.

00:07:39.000 That's it.

00:07:39.000 That's all that's going on right now.

00:07:40.000 Gerald, they're heroes.

00:07:42.000 They're not heroes!

00:07:43.000 They're not!

00:07:44.000 They've been pissed about this for a month!

00:07:45.000 They're on the front lines of the 40% successful delivery rate.

00:07:50.000 They're on the front lines of playing kickball with my Black Rifle espresso machine.

00:07:55.000 Is 41 too much to ask for?

00:07:56.000 That's them doing their best.

00:07:57.000 That's them doing their absolute best.

00:08:00.000 If you have been losing money for 13 years straight, you've cost the taxpayers billions, if not trillions, if you're just for inflation.

00:08:07.000 I have absolutely no idea.

00:08:09.000 I don't know what the number is exactly.

00:08:11.000 And you can be taken out by someone with a van and an Amazon sticker.

00:08:17.000 Hey, you know what?

00:08:18.000 Maybe you're not part of the bare necessity.

00:08:20.000 No, you're not.

00:08:21.000 No, you're not.

00:08:21.000 Yeah.

00:08:22.000 All right.

00:08:23.000 No, I agree with you.

00:08:24.000 We should do more on the USPS thing.

00:08:26.000 Maybe later.

00:08:27.000 I understand.

00:08:27.000 Unfortunately, Donald Trump, obviously, I think it's self-serving here, but the USPS needs some revamping.

00:08:34.000 It does, and that's what they're trying to do right now.

00:08:36.000 That's what DeJoy, or whatever his name is, DeJoy is trying to do.

00:08:39.000 But it's racist.

00:08:40.000 Anyway, we'll talk about this another time because I'm pissed about it.

00:08:43.000 Okay, well, apparently... I need a minute!

00:08:46.000 We should change the name of the ledger.

00:08:48.000 Oh! 0.60

00:08:48.000 Gerald is going to... Of course! 0.60

00:08:50.000 You said we were going to talk about it later!

00:08:51.000 I didn't say we were going to talk about it later, you lie!

00:08:53.000 All right, let's go to this right now.

00:08:54.000 Of course, there have been riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and I want to warn you, there will be some graphic content today.

00:08:58.000 So again, the question of the day is, when do you think that police are justified in using lethal force?

00:09:02.000 Does the perpetrator have to be aiming a gun at the... which I guess doesn't matter, because it happened in Georgia, and people are like, well, But it was dark, though, so he probably wouldn't have hit him in the face.

00:09:10.000 Probably not.

00:09:12.000 Oh, okay, I guess.

00:09:13.000 Let's just send out cops. 0.99

00:09:14.000 Let's just put cops against the wall in front of a firing line like Che Guevara.

00:09:19.000 How about we just do that at this point?

00:09:21.000 If you don't want them to defend themselves at all, even when a gun, taser, sorry, is aimed at the face.

00:09:27.000 But in this case, we have two, actually, situations that occurred over the weekend.

00:09:31.000 I thought for sure when I sent the one over the weekend of the guy with the knife, I thought, this isn't going to go anywhere.

00:09:36.000 Sure enough, protests!

00:09:37.000 It surprises me now.

00:09:38.000 The standard barrier for protests is very, very low.

00:09:43.000 We literally have child abusers, sex offenders, who've been arrested for assaulting officers before, assaulting officers now.

00:09:52.000 I mean, tasers at faces, and they still protest as an unjustified shooting.

00:09:56.000 So, you know, I'm out of touch.

00:09:58.000 That's my white privilege talking, but let's get to the first one here in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

00:10:01.000 Some of these clips will be graphic.

00:10:03.000 This is the reason you've heard the story, unarmed black men shot by police, that they are protesting.

00:10:11.000 He's walking around from the passenger side.

00:10:12.000 They've asked him to get on the ground, and they're aiming a gun at him, and he's reaching,

00:10:16.000 reaching, reaching, reaching, and they shoot him and he reaches the next one.

00:10:18.000 Probable cause.

00:10:19.000 Wow.

00:10:23.000 Wow, I mean, I don't know why you seem surprised.

00:10:27.000 You know when police officers have you on the other side of a car, their weapons are drawn, and they're ordering you to do something?

00:10:32.000 That's usually a cue that you have posed a threat.

00:10:34.000 You should probably not do anything else.

00:10:36.000 What I would like to do is bring up that still.

00:10:37.000 If we have it, bring up the still here. 0.70

00:10:38.000 This wasn't a guy who was just walking away from officers.

00:10:41.000 Look at that tension.

00:10:42.000 That guy is basically horizontal, like the kid in What About Bob when Richard Dreyfuss is teaching him how to dive.

00:10:49.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:51.000 That's not a guy who is just passionate, like, I was just getting my registration!

00:10:55.000 Officer, I was trying to put it in neutral, because that could be a safety hazard for your sorry white ass. 1.00

00:11:01.000 Clearly there's context, because all of the officers already had their guns out before the guy was walking around the car, back into his car.

00:11:07.000 So there's definitely more going on.

00:11:09.000 We have a statement from the governor that Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times in broad daylight.

00:11:14.000 What does that mean?

00:11:15.000 First off, multiple times doesn't matter.

00:11:17.000 Broad daylight doesn't matter.

00:11:19.000 Was the guy posing a threat?

00:11:21.000 Was the guy not complying?

00:11:22.000 Could the guy have turned around and shot officers?

00:11:24.000 Doesn't matter if he shot him.

00:11:25.000 I don't care if it's dusk, dawn, nautical twilight, civil twilight.

00:11:30.000 It could not be less relevant.

00:11:32.000 Yeah, and again, if all you need to know is the colors of the people involved, you're reasoning like a child.

00:11:38.000 You're not able to sort out the morality, and obviously there's some kind of crazy situation going on.

00:11:43.000 Again, we have to reduce it down to the color of the people involved.

00:11:45.000 The cop was white, the person was black.

00:11:48.000 I was just reaching in to put the air conditioning on recycle, because otherwise it's not efficient.

00:11:56.000 The governor basically said here are all the other cases that I know that have been tragic.

00:11:59.000 He tries to lump all these things together.

00:12:02.000 You know what he didn't say?

00:12:03.000 He didn't say one word in support of police officers who felt that their life was in danger and a man was trying to get into his car to grab something.

00:12:09.000 He didn't say one word to say let's wait for the facts, let's make sure we get everything lined up first.

00:12:14.000 These cops are trying Well, the good thing is we actually do have some facts.

00:12:17.000 Let's bring up these facts here from the county man, Blake, actually, in question, who's number one trend on Twitter right now.

00:12:21.000 What you won't see is he had a warrant out for his arrest, he was a sex offender, and had already assaulted officers and resisted arrest after pulling a gun in a bar in 2015.

00:12:30.000 Model citizen.

00:12:30.000 My guess is that probably came up if they ran his plates or they had him pulled aside, because that right away would show up when you run someone's registration, right?

00:12:38.000 When you run their plates, you would see, Well, this is a serial time offender.

00:12:40.000 Oh, wait a second.

00:12:41.000 He's a sex offender.

00:12:43.000 He's assaulted police officers when the officers were already responding because he brandished a gun and now he's reaching into the car.

00:12:49.000 But they didn't shoot him for the priors.

00:12:51.000 shot him because he was reaching into the car.

00:12:53.000 Well they shot him because he was reaching into the car, but you do have to take into

00:12:57.000 account someone's criminal violent history with firearms.

00:13:01.000 If they knew that, absolutely true.

00:13:04.000 Just like you said, Wade, he's doing something worthy of getting shot.

00:13:07.000 The officers, and by the way, when your friends are telling you the same thing the officers

00:13:11.000 are, like stop stop no no no no no, like you could hear in the background of the video,

00:13:15.000 Maybe everybody's for you stopping walking right now.

00:13:18.000 I think if you listen closely, you can hear someone go, here we go again!

00:13:20.000 Right.

00:13:21.000 Keep walking.

00:13:22.000 You can do it.

00:13:22.000 He's pulling that shit again!

00:13:24.000 Right.

00:13:24.000 Really, like honestly, this is not a new thing for this guy.

00:13:27.000 Now, is it sad?

00:13:29.000 Of course it's sad when someone loses their life, especially in front of their children.

00:13:33.000 It's more sad for those children that that man made horrible decisions, including putting the officers in a situation where they believe their life was in jeopardy.

00:13:40.000 But you know what?

00:13:41.000 This story is not nearly as sad.

00:13:43.000 As a story that would read, officers don't go home to their children.

00:13:47.000 I'm sorry, it's not as sad.

00:13:49.000 I know that people will say, it's not that one life matters more than the other, it's that you have made decisions and taken actions that lead you closer to forfeiting your right to live.

00:13:57.000 The closer you get to the line of forcing somebody else to protect their life, whether you mean to take it from them or not, You are no longer in the right.

00:14:07.000 There is a scale there and you have to go, alright, hold on a second, sex offender, okay, you have a history of violence, okay, you're not complying, okay, you're reaching into a car, okay, they can't even, what are they supposed to do at this point?

00:14:19.000 They're supposed to wait until you turn around and shoot one of the officers dead and then pull their guns, maybe defend their life?

00:14:24.000 I don't think so.

00:14:24.000 I know what the protesters in Kenosha are supposed to do.

00:14:27.000 Also, I don't know if it made it all the way up to Sheboygan.

00:14:28.000 Very big in Sheboygan, the rioting.

00:14:30.000 Sheboygan, the rioting, the looting.

00:14:32.000 Very big.

00:14:33.000 The polka twist, along with the polka twist in Yamaguchi.

00:14:35.000 The polka riot. 0.93

00:14:36.000 Polka, polka. 0.58

00:14:37.000 And rioting and burning.

00:14:38.000 This is what they did, of course.

00:14:41.000 They knocked an officer unconscious with a brick.

00:14:47.000 Could have killed him.

00:14:48.000 Easily.

00:14:48.000 Oh, he just got brick. He just got brick. They're clapping.

00:14:53.000 Yeah. The church, the fire, the fire's kissing it. And I, uh, in Minneapolis when we

00:15:02.000 were there. Now, are we supposed to say, oh, well, why, why did you shoot him?

00:15:08.000 He only had a brick!

00:15:09.000 Right, exactly.

00:15:10.000 That's not a deadly weapon.

00:15:11.000 That's not a deadly weapon!

00:15:12.000 A brick?

00:15:12.000 A knife?

00:15:13.000 A blackjack? 0.99

00:15:14.000 A taser?

00:15:15.000 I mean, at what point do they have to have a gun for an officer to use his gun?

00:15:19.000 And we'll get to that in a second, because the next guy we're about to talk about actually did have a knife.

00:15:24.000 And that guy said brick like it was a verb that he was used to.

00:15:26.000 Like, yo, you just got brick!

00:15:29.000 That's the usual thing.

00:15:31.000 Like it's an MTV show.

00:15:32.000 It's become a thing, yeah.

00:15:33.000 Right next to Bully Pete Down.

00:15:34.000 Cops getting bricked!

00:15:35.000 That's getting bricked! Oh yeah! Eeeeeeeeee! Oh my gosh.

00:15:42.000 Well, one thing about this guy, he is in serious condition.

00:15:45.000 He didn't die from the shooting.

00:15:46.000 Going back to... I'd read that he had died.

00:15:48.000 Okay, so the last report that I heard, unless something came out very early this morning, he was in serious condition in the hospital, was not dead.

00:15:54.000 But that could have changed.

00:15:55.000 You're too busy fathering.

00:15:57.000 I was reading as well.

00:16:00.000 Him watching CNN.

00:16:01.000 And they marked it off, put him in the ambulance, took him to the hospital.

00:16:05.000 They only did it because he reached into a car and actively looked like he was reaching for something.

00:16:10.000 Yeah.

00:16:10.000 Don't do stupid stuff.

00:16:11.000 And I don't know what was he reaching for.

00:16:13.000 Honestly, what could he possibly have been doing?

00:16:15.000 It doesn't matter.

00:16:16.000 It doesn't matter?

00:16:17.000 In other words, you are trying to rationalize decisions as a police officer, and you're taught to do that, to de-escalate.

00:16:21.000 Maybe someone is doing this where you're supposed to give the benefit of the doubt versus where you have to take control of protecting your own life at that point.

00:16:28.000 And how you watch the back of other officers.

00:16:30.000 I cannot think of a scenario where a guy is resisting.

00:16:33.000 You're pulling at his tank top and reaching.

00:16:35.000 That's not a guy who's reaching in for his insurance.

00:16:36.000 That's not a guy who's reaching in for a temporary license.

00:16:38.000 That's not a guy who's reaching in to take it out of neutral.

00:16:41.000 That is a guy with a purpose who is lunging into a car and even maybe he was maybe like George Floyd.

00:16:46.000 He was on drugs and out of his mind that could lead to a cardiac arrest.

00:16:49.000 We have absolutely no idea.

00:16:50.000 But if you are an officer, you have at that point.

00:16:53.000 Can anyone think of a scenario where you go?

00:16:55.000 Oh, this is totally normal behavior.

00:16:57.000 I'm not in danger at all.

00:16:58.000 I can't.

00:16:59.000 No, no, absolutely.

00:17:00.000 And if you can't use force here in any way, like, you just can't use force at all.

00:17:03.000 We've talked about this a number of times, that every time that you do something like this, like, you ruin an officer's life who didn't do anything wrong, the governor doesn't come out and support you, what does that do, again, to the morale of officers?

00:17:12.000 What does it do the next time that they pull?

00:17:14.000 If they hesitate the next time, they could die.

00:17:16.000 Yeah.

00:17:17.000 That's the line they walk.

00:17:18.000 They don't walk the, I get to do whatever I want because the police can't do anything to me, I'm just gonna do whatever I want.

00:17:22.000 That's the rule now, is being shot while black and not wanting to be arrested. 0.97

00:17:26.000 Yes, exactly.

00:17:27.000 That's what it is.

00:17:28.000 That's the line.

00:17:28.000 It's because they didn't want to get arrested.

00:17:29.000 I didn't want to get arrested.

00:17:30.000 So they had to put their life on the line because you don't want to get arrested.

00:17:30.000 No.

00:17:32.000 And this is another scenario where there's a worn-out for his arrest.

00:17:34.000 That's one commonality that you see here, right?

00:17:37.000 That people always... That's why I said before Georgia, was it Rayshard Brooks, that some of them all kind of bleed together.

00:17:41.000 I said, I bet you that this guy had a rap sheet.

00:17:44.000 We said it on air.

00:17:44.000 I said, I don't have any evidence right now.

00:17:46.000 I bet you there's a rap sheet there that he was going to go away for a long time because that's where you see scenarios that people violently resist officers.

00:17:53.000 And by the way, it happens all the time.

00:17:56.000 If someone has a rap sheet, they do not want to go back to the clink.

00:17:59.000 They're not going to willingly get into the back of the paddy wagon.

00:18:01.000 That's where all of a sudden, claustrophobia appears.

00:18:05.000 It happens all the time.

00:18:07.000 That's when people are at their most dangerous because they have nothing to lose.

00:18:09.000 They're desperate.

00:18:10.000 And officers know that.

00:18:11.000 They know when they're approaching a suspect that has that potential.

00:18:14.000 Like, okay, this is the third strike or the fourth time they're getting arrested for this.

00:18:17.000 They're going away for a while.

00:18:17.000 I have to be careful because they know that.

00:18:19.000 They know that they have to put up a fight.

00:18:20.000 If you watch that video, the cops are obviously having to weigh the consequences of their actions.

00:18:24.000 The person who's not weighing the consequences of their actions and is acting wildly violently is the guy who ended up getting shot.

00:18:31.000 So you can paint this as if the cops are just, again, just swinging their guns around doing whatever they want.

00:18:35.000 But really, that's the other guy.

00:18:36.000 The guy who got shot is the guy who's not thinking.

00:18:39.000 Exactly.

00:18:39.000 And the headline that pissed me off, on Twitter, it said, a black man shot in the back by police officers.

00:18:44.000 I'm like, oh my gosh, what happened?

00:18:45.000 And I clicked on it, right?

00:18:46.000 And then I see on CNN, the lower third, as they show the video, the video is right there!

00:18:51.000 And they're showing black men shot by police officers.

00:18:54.000 No context whatsoever.

00:18:55.000 Yeah, just shot in the back.

00:18:56.000 If someone turns their back, just like, it's like, like it's all the officers, I turn my back, you can't shoot me!

00:18:56.000 That's the thing they do, right?

00:19:01.000 You can't see me, right?

00:19:02.000 Like it's wrestling where they go belly down to avoid a pin.

00:19:05.000 That's not how it works!

00:19:06.000 You still have a knife!

00:19:07.000 It's like, see it?

00:19:08.000 It's right there on your screen.

00:19:08.000 See it?

00:19:09.000 Can't you say, it looks like he's reaching into the car.

00:19:11.000 Can't you provide some commentary that says, Cassina, can you speak the truth?

00:19:17.000 It burns!

00:19:19.000 Like, I can't!

00:19:20.000 I can't!

00:19:22.000 Here's another one in other completely justifiable officer shootings perpetrators.

00:19:27.000 This happened I believe in Louisiana.

00:19:30.000 This is another one.

00:19:30.000 I don't know that you've seen this.

00:19:32.000 This happened over the course of the weekend.

00:19:33.000 I saw it on TMZ and again the story was man shot in the back by officers 10 times.

00:19:38.000 I've read both 11 and 10 times.

00:19:40.000 Maybe someone can tell me which one is correct.

00:19:42.000 It depends on what site you go to.

00:19:44.000 Again, graphic warning, but this is important because I I was sure that this wouldn't have legs.

00:19:50.000 This is the most clear-cut, justifiable one.

00:19:54.000 And here we are.

00:19:55.000 Guy has a knife.

00:19:57.000 He's walking to a convenience store.

00:20:00.000 We got to witness this.

00:20:01.000 We have to witness this.

00:20:02.000 Put the window down! 0.95

00:20:03.000 Put the window down! 0.95

00:20:04.000 This guy has a knife.

00:20:05.000 He's walking to a convenience store.

00:20:06.000 Put the window down! 0.95

00:20:07.000 Oh, God.

00:20:08.000 He got a knife!

00:20:09.000 He's got a knife.

00:20:10.000 Well, he's got a knife.

00:20:11.000 Let me go see!

00:20:12.000 He's got a knife.

00:20:14.000 They've already tased him from what I understand, or they tried to tase him.

00:20:18.000 They're trying to block him from getting in the convenience store.

00:20:20.000 That's where he's going this entire time.

00:20:21.000 He's got a knife.

00:20:23.000 The officers are trying to block him with the car.

00:20:24.000 Now they're telling him to get on the ground.

00:20:25.000 They've tried to tase him.

00:20:26.000 They're tasing him.

00:20:27.000 He's not doing anything.

00:20:28.000 He's continuing to walk to the convenience store, trying to go in with a knife.

00:20:33.000 As soon as he starts to, yeah, try to get in there.

00:20:36.000 So do you hate everyone in that convenience store?

00:20:39.000 Right, right.

00:20:40.000 I'm sorry, what do you think is, again, what could be any justifiable scenario in that case where you're refusing to comply, you refuse to get down on the ground, tasers aren't working, and you're walking with a knife like it's a part of your daily checklist like I am with Trader Joe's and getting toucan O's.

00:20:55.000 This is the last resort.

00:20:56.000 The last resort was to take him down.

00:20:58.000 He could have got in there, stabbed the clerk, stabbed customers.

00:21:00.000 He was clearly going there.

00:21:01.000 Yeah.

00:21:01.000 Come on.

00:21:02.000 on a mission and you cannot at that point other people's lives are in danger

00:21:02.000 It really does.

00:21:02.000 Yeah.

00:21:07.000 and what again what are you does the man have to have a gun yeah the man have to

00:21:12.000 have a gun does it have to be currently skewering the clerk's face but through

00:21:17.000 the bulletproof glass right with a little little microphone hole which sort

00:21:20.000 of defeats the purpose it really does I knew that when I said it was super 8 one time

00:21:24.000 I'm like by the way you can clean up the cockroaches also bulletproof glass kind

00:21:27.000 of pointless when there's a hole the size of your giant right where your head is

00:21:30.000 Does he have to be stabbing somebody in the face?

00:21:33.000 Especially with a knife, how are officers supposed to subdue him at that point?

00:21:37.000 Like, this is one of those, you can't because you're going to get stabbed!

00:21:39.000 And if you believe the entire Black Lives Matter narrative, is this your martyr? 0.53

00:21:43.000 This guy who's running at a convenience store with a knife?

00:21:46.000 That's the guy you want to choose.

00:21:47.000 And by the way, you know what the officers didn't do?

00:21:47.000 The answer is yes.

00:21:49.000 They didn't shoot him for about, what, 150 feet of walking behind him, telling him to get on the ground, trying to block him, tasering him.

00:21:57.000 The minute that he started to put somebody else's life in danger, because as soon as he gets in that store and he has a knife to the throat of the clerk, it's a hostage situation.

00:22:03.000 You're done.

00:22:04.000 Somebody could not get to go home because they went to work that day.

00:22:07.000 And you know what?

00:22:08.000 I have no idea if that clerk... Pardon?

00:22:08.000 This guy was the asshole.

00:22:10.000 I have no idea... Oh, Fatherhood's changed, too.

00:22:12.000 I know, I know.

00:22:13.000 Sorry.

00:22:14.000 Luke, I'm sorry.

00:22:15.000 Some of that sexual frustration.

00:22:20.000 I don't know if that was in a white community or black community.

00:22:22.000 I have no idea.

00:22:22.000 It doesn't matter.

00:22:23.000 The people in that store should not have their life put in jeopardy because you don't like a man with a knife being shot by the police.

00:22:31.000 We've moved the goalposts from unarmed black men, and by the way, I saw this on CNN, both CNN and Young Turks, but I repeat myself. 1.00

00:22:38.000 I saw them say, uh, they were refuting something Tucker Carlson said where he said, uh, last year it was eight unarmed black men, which was a different stat because I think we've used the stat nine, but I believe it's nine.

00:22:47.000 He said eight unarmed black men were shot by police officers and they went back to see them in Young Turks.

00:22:51.000 I said, except that's not true.

00:22:52.000 And they listed some number of a hundred something.

00:22:53.000 No, he didn't say black men shot by officers.

00:22:55.000 He said unarmed black men, because that was a standard that you use.

00:22:58.000 By the way, many of those unarmed black men were still committing acts of violence.

00:23:01.000 You can still be punching someone in the face if you're unarmed.

00:23:04.000 So he went from unarmed to well now, uh, Armed.

00:23:08.000 Doesn't count.

00:23:08.000 Right.

00:23:08.000 knife is not enough. Aiming a taser at an officer's face is not enough. This man was

00:23:13.000 armed. This man was armed. You are going to protest a man who was armed and who was not,

00:23:17.000 by the way, just assaulting officers. He was going to likely commit a violent assault against

00:23:23.000 one of you!

00:23:25.000 He was a citizen.

00:23:26.000 He was a threat to civilians.

00:23:27.000 Yeah.

00:23:27.000 His knife was just for the hot dogs.

00:23:29.000 Sometimes those things... Oh, you know, you can't get it with your hand.

00:23:31.000 That's what it was.

00:23:32.000 Listen, listen.

00:23:33.000 I hear you.

00:23:34.000 I'm gonna go get some taquitos with my Bowie knife.

00:23:38.000 You can't cut through those things with any other knife.

00:23:39.000 Give me a second.

00:23:40.000 Give me a second.

00:23:40.000 I cannot get my taquitos cut symmetrically unless I got this Rambo 3 shit.

00:23:44.000 Right?

00:23:45.000 This ain't a Q-Tip I'm going into.

00:23:46.000 You know how it is.

00:23:47.000 No!

00:23:48.000 We don't!

00:23:50.000 We don't!

00:23:51.000 Oh my gosh.

00:23:52.000 By the way, I said QT.

00:23:53.000 You're famous at QT's.

00:23:54.000 I went into one and they're like, you're that guy.

00:23:56.000 And he's like, Steven.

00:23:57.000 I love QT.

00:23:58.000 We love him!

00:23:58.000 He talks about QT!

00:24:00.000 I love QT and it's sad that you haven't signed up for a sponsorship there, QT.

00:24:04.000 Yeah, come on. 0.77

00:24:04.000 Get off the sidelines. 0.77

00:24:06.000 It would be a shame if all of a sudden I became a fan of Racetrack.

00:24:10.000 Oh! 0.60

00:24:10.000 What? 0.60

00:24:11.000 No, I can't.

00:24:12.000 Don't worry, QT.

00:24:12.000 I am at your mercy.

00:24:15.000 Okay, I have no leverage because Racetrack sucks and 7-Eleven, their bathrooms are like an episode of Lock Up.

00:24:22.000 Locked up abroad.

00:24:23.000 There we go.

00:24:23.000 Oh, I forgot.

00:24:24.000 Do we have that clip?

00:24:24.000 By the way, in case you're wondering what could happen to an officer if they don't take measures to protect their lives or the lives of civilians, I believe that we have a montage here of the officers who, what happens if someone does reach for a glove, reach in their glove box, or someone does go into a car, let alone a knife.

00:24:39.000 This last one I almost feel like should just be discarded.

00:24:42.000 Unfortunately, there are going to be protests, but it's very, very common that officers have to make split

00:24:47.000 decisions.

00:24:47.000 And when they make the wrong one, and they don't shoot, this can happen.

00:24:50.000 What's up, man?

00:24:54.000 That's how fast.

00:24:58.000 Yeah.

00:25:00.000 Battle Creek sucks, too.

00:25:02.000 Battle Creek, Michigan?

00:25:02.000 Horrible place.

00:25:03.000 Yes.

00:25:03.000 Here you go.

00:25:04.000 Guy gets to his car.

00:25:07.000 Right now!

00:25:07.000 They don't shoot him.

00:25:08.000 Yeah.

00:25:09.000 Reaching in.

00:25:10.000 Boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:25:11.000 Starts pulling the gun.

00:25:12.000 starts pulling the trigger on the officers.

00:25:23.000 And one thing too that's important is people say well there's a discrepancy.

00:25:26.000 There's a discrepancy of force.

00:25:27.000 They have guns.

00:25:27.000 Those people don't.

00:25:28.000 Okay, but there also is a discrepancy, right?

00:25:30.000 There's a huge chasm in someone who is hired to enforce the law, someone who is acquiescent, someone who is beholden to the laws, and someone who is proactively breaking the law.

00:25:39.000 That also is an advantage.

00:25:41.000 If this cop says, well, I can't just murder in cold blood, and the other guy says, oh, I think I got a leg up because I can murder in cold blood.

00:25:47.000 I will.

00:25:47.000 Well, and the political climate right now with police officers is that you can do whatever you want and police officers shouldn't be able to do anything back.

00:25:54.000 That just emboldens people, right?

00:25:55.000 You're telling everybody, all the police officers are bad people, they're horrible right now, we should defund them, you don't have to listen to them, you can do whatever you want, and then somebody goes off and does this and they're like, what did you shoot him for?

00:26:05.000 Because you said this, you've created this environment where every cop is bad looking to kill a black person.

00:26:10.000 That's not the case.

00:26:11.000 They're trying to avoid that last And by the way, let's just sweep all of the black cops under the rug. 1.00

00:26:15.000 All minority officers who make up a high percentage of police officers in the general population.

00:26:19.000 They're all Uncle Tom's and self-loathing.

00:26:21.000 You don't want to know anything about this.

00:26:22.000 Look!

00:26:23.000 A man with only a knife! 0.98

00:26:24.000 You know that last guy too?

00:26:26.000 They're pissed off about the number of times the police shot this guy.

00:26:28.000 They shot him multiple times.

00:26:29.000 The last guy that shot those two officers had a bullet in his head and drove himself to the hospital.

00:26:35.000 Yeah.

00:26:35.000 Okay?

00:26:36.000 That's why they shoot multiple times.

00:26:37.000 That's like the world is not enough.

00:26:38.000 You shoot until the perpetrator is down.

00:26:41.000 You don't stop until they can't shoot you.

00:26:43.000 That was that J'von J'von where the bullet kept going deeper in his head and it only made him stronger.

00:26:46.000 Mr. Bond.

00:26:47.000 We can't have that! We can't have super soldiers fighting our officers!

00:26:52.000 Watch the world is not enough, okay?

00:26:54.000 That's why you shoot first.

00:26:57.000 By the way, hit the notification bell if you're subscribed on YouTube because

00:27:00.000 subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.

00:27:01.000 That's true.

00:27:02.000 Notifications will make sure that it's pumped to your mobile.

00:27:05.000 And, oh, you have ice in your cup.

00:27:06.000 I do.

00:27:06.000 Excuse me.

00:27:07.000 I'm sorry.

00:27:07.000 Wow.

00:27:07.000 For some reason, whenever I hear that, it sounds like whiskey.

00:27:09.000 How dare you?

00:27:09.000 It does.

00:27:10.000 Whiskey!

00:27:11.000 And we do this show every weekday, Monday through Thursday, at 10 a.m.

00:27:16.000 Eastern.

00:27:16.000 And let us know if you want us to stream the convention, the Republican convention, on Thursday.

00:27:19.000 I thought it would be boring.

00:27:20.000 Maybe.

00:27:21.000 But maybe we can.

00:27:22.000 We'll put a poll out on Twitter, and you can let me know.

00:27:24.000 Maybe.

00:27:24.000 Something else, I don't under- this is something that I guess maybe someone can explain it to me.

00:27:27.000 Wade, you're smart.

00:27:29.000 Wait, I'm here too, let's put a pressure on Wade.

00:27:32.000 I figure you're exhausted from all your fathering.

00:27:34.000 It's true.

00:27:37.000 He is more experienced, he's been a father multiple times.

00:27:39.000 Me, it's a given.

00:27:42.000 But I mean, you're just like a big kid.

00:27:44.000 You sleep on the yogi bow that I gave you.

00:27:46.000 It's so comfortable though.

00:27:47.000 I know, but you're a child.

00:27:48.000 It just cuddles me so nicely.

00:27:51.000 It's a long beanbag chair.

00:27:52.000 It actually is.

00:27:52.000 I hurt my back and I fell asleep in the Yogi Bo.

00:27:54.000 Not a sponsor, but Yogi Bo beanbag.

00:27:56.000 It's like memory foam.

00:27:57.000 I fell asleep in my garage, which you know is just a jiu-jitsu gym.

00:28:00.000 We double up the foam and I just... And I woke up with Joe Louis' face in my face because he wants to be so close to me.

00:28:06.000 He wants to inhale my breath and then wear my flesh like a coat.

00:28:09.000 He's trying to steal your soul.

00:28:11.000 He's a good dog.

00:28:12.000 He's getting his because of Cruella de Vil.

00:28:13.000 He's reversing the tables.

00:28:15.000 So I don't understand this when this became a rule that you can only use what it is that the perpetrator uses.

00:28:21.000 If you are home alone at night and a rapist comes in and he only has a knife, are you unjustified in shooting that rapist?

00:28:28.000 Or should you only use a knife?

00:28:29.000 Should you have it?

00:28:29.000 I think it should be as unfair of a fight as humanly possible.

00:28:34.000 And especially with officers because we send them out not only to defend their own lives but to defend our Our lives.

00:28:39.000 That is actually the contract that we have with officers.

00:28:42.000 They are paid through our tax dollars.

00:28:44.000 They're sworn duty to protect our rights.

00:28:47.000 And this is something that's a fundamental misunderstanding of police officers and people who understand this is, yeah, I do have a problem with militarization of police.

00:28:53.000 I do have a problem with police who are infringing on our rights.

00:28:55.000 If a police officer pulls me over and asks to search my car for no reason, I would say no.

00:29:00.000 No you can't, because I do believe in constitutionally limited parameters for officers.

00:29:05.000 But understanding the spirit of the law, they are sworn to protect our rights.

00:29:11.000 So when someone else becomes a threat to our lives, and by the way, By proxy, they're a threat to our lives.

00:29:15.000 If they start picking off officers, like Dallas and Detroit, or the 900 officer casualties that we've seen as a result of these riots, they have, at that point, I think they should pull out artillery like they're Jim Carrey in The Mask, okay?

00:29:29.000 I don't understand when we started this.

00:29:33.000 It's rock, paper, scissors.

00:29:34.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:29:35.000 You don't exactly yell out, alright, what do you have?

00:29:37.000 Guys, he's only got a knife!

00:29:39.000 Alright, everybody put your guns down!

00:29:40.000 He only has a knife!

00:29:41.000 Put your guns down!

00:29:42.000 Go fish!

00:29:42.000 Yeah, it's like, what?

00:29:43.000 Yeah, well these people are, cops are living in complicated, scary situations, and people on the outside don't want to deal with the actual details.

00:29:50.000 The details get messy, the details get crazy, and they have to make decisions that we don't ever have to make, or that we don't typically have to make.

00:29:57.000 And so, yeah, again, from the outside, people on CNN, they sit in their studios and they can comment, but they don't actually want to deal with situations The studio's protected by police officers, by the way.

00:30:07.000 Well, not really all that well when they ravaged it.

00:30:09.000 If it's true, yeah.

00:30:11.000 That was fun.

00:30:12.000 Because there was a police precinct down there, they're like, just take the cops!

00:30:14.000 Just leave Stelter alone!

00:30:17.000 If you cut him open, it's just snack packs.

00:30:20.000 He's our special little boy.

00:30:21.000 He's our special little boy, Stelter.

00:30:23.000 Really, if anything happens, his wealthy family is going to get mad because you know he has no business hosting a show.

00:30:29.000 Come on, look at him.

00:30:29.000 And this is new and improved Stelter!

00:30:33.000 This is post-Queer Eye Stelter.

00:30:34.000 Run a Google image search for Young Stelter.

00:30:39.000 It's the stuff that gives children nightmares.

00:30:42.000 And you know what?

00:30:43.000 First off, how many of these people are paying taxes, by the way?

00:30:45.000 Maybe they don't understand the contract we have with police officers because they don't pay taxes.

00:30:49.000 I have no idea.

00:30:51.000 But something else that is important.

00:30:52.000 This could be a teachable moment with kids.

00:30:54.000 You know, for example, I knew a kid whose dad died drinking and driving.

00:30:57.000 And the conversation they had with their kids was, you know what?

00:30:59.000 Dad made a mistake.

00:31:00.000 And make sure you don't ever make that kind of mistake because this could happen to you.

00:31:04.000 But these are not the conversations that are being had with these kids right now.

00:31:06.000 How do I know?

00:31:07.000 Because they're not having these conversations at the DNC.

00:31:10.000 No mention, by the way, of the riots.

00:31:12.000 None at the DNC.

00:31:13.000 Also, no mention of impeachment.

00:31:14.000 Not once.

00:31:15.000 Zero.

00:31:16.000 I also don't think there was any mention of Russia, but I could be wrong.

00:31:19.000 It'll come back.

00:31:20.000 Few, if any.

00:31:20.000 Surprising!

00:31:21.000 That was their number one store, yeah, for three years.

00:31:23.000 Or Cavanaugh!

00:31:24.000 No mention of Cavanaugh.

00:31:25.000 But no one is talking about, with these children, hey, you know what?

00:31:28.000 Your dad reached into a car when he was told to get on.

00:31:31.000 Your dad took a knife, wielded it, and tried to go stab someone at a convenience store who owed him some money for a carburetor on his old motorcycle.

00:31:37.000 Don't repeat his mistakes.

00:31:38.000 Don't do it.

00:31:38.000 Instead, it's, they're out to get you.

00:31:40.000 They're out to get you.

00:31:41.000 Every time you get pulled over, your life is in danger.

00:31:43.000 Statistically, it's not true.

00:31:45.000 And even anecdotally now, these anecdotes, this is the thing, if they're We're an example.

00:31:50.000 If it's out there, please send it.

00:31:52.000 Of a man going, officer, my hands are at 10 and 2.

00:31:56.000 Could I have a license here?

00:31:57.000 Even I'm a concealed carry permit holder.

00:31:59.000 Let me reach for this in my glove compartment.

00:32:00.000 If there is a video in the last year with all of these going on, these Black Lives Matter, Antifa riots.

00:32:06.000 If you can find a video of a man saying, OK, I'm complying.

00:32:10.000 I'm getting on the ground.

00:32:11.000 Officer, this is a miscommunication, and getting shot, getting lit up like the 4th of July, I will stand corrected.

00:32:17.000 I haven't seen it.

00:32:18.000 At the very least, you go, okay, I can see this is a muddy scenario, but in all the cases we've presented this morning, it's entirely justifiable.

00:32:28.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:32:28.000 Go home, have dinner, and don't even skip a meal.

00:32:31.000 Break your intermittent fast and go home and kiss your family because you get to live another day, officers.

00:32:35.000 I blame you for Nothing.

00:32:38.000 Not something.

00:32:39.000 Not a little bit.

00:32:39.000 Not two wrongs don't make a right.

00:32:41.000 You did your job.

00:32:42.000 Thank you, officers.

00:32:42.000 No problem here.

00:32:43.000 And they should get a lot of support from the police unions.

00:32:46.000 They should get a lot of support from the mayor.

00:32:48.000 Everybody should be supporting them right now and saying, look, we're standing behind the police officers because you have to.

00:32:52.000 If you don't, police officers are going to quit or they're going to die on the job.

00:32:55.000 Those are the two things that are going to happen because people are going to get shot because they don't protect themselves.

00:33:00.000 Well, and we live in a very imperfect system.

00:33:02.000 I don't know when we thought that this was perfect, that there was never going to be a mistake made by police officers, that there was never going to be a perpetrator that posed a threat that was going to have to be put down for some reason.

00:33:10.000 It's sad that it happens, but I'd rather they be shot than the police officer be shot.

00:33:14.000 It's an imperfect system.

00:33:16.000 If you do what cops tell you to do, you will 99.999999999% of the time go home that night.

00:33:19.000 I can't verify that.

00:33:24.000 I know, but think about it.

00:33:25.000 I can't verify it.

00:33:26.000 Maybe the quartering can fact check us.

00:33:29.000 He can be like our ombudsman with Gerald's fathering bullcrap.

00:33:32.000 Did we hire a math asian yet? 0.99

00:33:33.000 Listen, all I'm saying is your attention is split.

00:33:36.000 Your attention is split.

00:33:37.000 You couldn't possibly know that number because you have a human to raise.

00:33:40.000 I have a baby brain, man.

00:33:42.000 A little human.

00:33:42.000 Yeah, but if you listen to, and if you believe the CNN version of this, the online version, the Twitter version of this, you are being turned into a stupid person.

00:33:51.000 Yes.

00:33:51.000 If you're not already.

00:33:53.000 They're dumbing it down for you because they think you're stupid, and if you're taking it in, and again, taking the simplified version of this, you are stupid.

00:34:00.000 Yeah.

00:34:01.000 Wow.

00:34:01.000 They just called everyone stupid.

00:34:04.000 I really hope that you don't think, if you turn your back to an officer, that it's like, oh, game off.

00:34:09.000 Really?

00:34:10.000 Right.

00:34:10.000 It's not an invisible cloak.

00:34:11.000 He can still see you and arrest you.

00:34:14.000 I'm on base.

00:34:14.000 That's my car.

00:34:15.000 I'm on base.

00:34:15.000 I'm sorry that I'm a sex offender and committed child abuse, but ahhh!

00:34:20.000 We almost had him.

00:34:22.000 Where'd he go?

00:34:23.000 The old back-turning car.

00:34:24.000 Where'd he go?

00:34:25.000 He's on base, yeah.

00:34:26.000 All you're gonna do is force him to go carol in on your sorry ass and suplex you into oblivion, you dumbass! 0.98

00:34:33.000 You're just exposing yourself more, you moron!

00:34:36.000 Speaking of morons, people who wanted to cover this, the Proud Boys descended upon Portland and committed mass acts of violence.

00:34:45.000 This is trending right now.

00:34:46.000 It was trending yesterday.

00:34:48.000 And I want to be clear, I am not a member of the Proud Boys.

00:34:51.000 I do not endorse the Proud Boys.

00:34:52.000 I'm not a member of any group, gang, because eventually you're going to have someone in there who's an unsavory character, even though there are blacks and Latinos in Proud Boys. 1.00

00:34:59.000 I wouldn't be surprised if you searched high and low if you find somebody who probably has some Pepe posts.

00:35:04.000 I don't know.

00:35:05.000 Maybe somewhere down the line had a couple of posts at Stormfront.

00:35:08.000 No idea.

00:35:09.000 But it's clearly not the mission of the Proud Boys as an organization.

00:35:13.000 So I want to be clear.

00:35:14.000 I'm not one of them.

00:35:14.000 But this coverage was absolutely ridiculous.

00:35:18.000 100 Proud Boys showed up in Portland.

00:35:20.000 They were violently attacked, of course, by Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters.

00:35:24.000 And then the media tried to point out the double standard.

00:35:26.000 Why?

00:35:26.000 Why aren't they There's a Nazi flag right there.

00:35:28.000 I'm entertained.

00:35:28.000 on peaceful protesters with tear gas and the proud boys can show up with Nazi

00:35:33.000 flag well no that's actually not what happened but here's a clip there's a

00:35:37.000 Nazi flag right there I'm entertained 0.99

00:35:47.000 and actually there's an umbrella he just I don't want association with any of

00:35:53.000 those because none of them can fight I'm sorry, I get it.

00:35:57.000 I appreciate the Proud Boys.

00:35:58.000 They want to go out there and defend speakers sometimes from Antifa, but the fighting is just absolutely pathetic.

00:36:02.000 And it has to be pathetic because you're fighting in gangs.

00:36:04.000 And only pussies join gangs, folks. 1.00

00:36:07.000 It's a proven fact.

00:36:09.000 One guy's hitting with an umbrella, another guy with his purse.

00:36:11.000 What are you trying to annoy people?

00:36:12.000 I mean, an umbrella's not going to hurt anybody, really.

00:36:14.000 Do we have that article?

00:36:15.000 Actually, I think we can bring it up from Axios that was talking about the convention that started today.

00:36:19.000 And it said, this is Trumplandia.

00:36:21.000 And they said, I see a lot of American flags.

00:36:23.000 I think we have some.

00:36:24.000 I sent it this morning.

00:36:25.000 Oh, how dare there be American flags?

00:36:26.000 In other words, the left has admitted that patriotism is a Republican value.

00:36:31.000 It's a conservative value.

00:36:32.000 Oh, Trumpianism.

00:36:33.000 It's Trumpian.

00:36:34.000 Look at all these American flags.

00:36:36.000 Remember not too long ago when your folks, the Democrats, still wore American flag pins.

00:36:40.000 Because he didn't hate this country.

00:36:43.000 He didn't, you know, have candidates in the primaries who honeymooned in the USSR.

00:36:46.000 He had people who maybe believed in a slightly more progressive tax, but they generally still liked this country.

00:36:50.000 Now you have Communist Jackass and Joe Biden.

00:36:54.000 Yeah, well, and math.

00:36:55.000 I think the math one is particularly funny.

00:36:57.000 The GOP Connect will be a Trumpian production, and in there they have a direct quote where they say, oh, I saw some American flags.

00:37:02.000 Trumplandia.

00:37:03.000 Scary.

00:37:03.000 Good Axios, thank you.

00:37:05.000 So, of course, people were furious that the cops didn't intervene immediately, and they were labeling all of the Proud Boys far-right activists.

00:37:13.000 Oh, of course they are.

00:37:14.000 Now let's accept this premise for a second.

00:37:15.000 This is what I wanted to do.

00:37:17.000 And I don't think that the Proud Boys are far-right activists.

00:37:20.000 Again, maybe you might have some in there who are, but that's not the mission statement of the organization.

00:37:24.000 Far-right activists.

00:37:25.000 Let's assume that, and of course when people say these folks exist on the fringes, of course we would have to say Antifa, and I guess now Black Lives Matter exists on the fringes, right? 0.69

00:37:34.000 These are just the extreme leftists.

00:37:35.000 So extreme right, my right, your left, Proud Boys.

00:37:38.000 Should I go stage left, stage right?

00:37:39.000 I've done theater, so I know some of the theater terms.

00:37:42.000 I'm confused.

00:37:43.000 My right, your left.

00:37:44.000 I'll go downstage, that's down toward you, Proud Boys.

00:37:49.000 Upstage, you know what, I don't want the Proud Boys to be upstage.

00:37:52.000 Upstage, Proud Boys.

00:37:54.000 Downstage, Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

00:37:56.000 So Proud Boys, they're far right.

00:37:58.000 Let's accept this.

00:37:59.000 From what I saw, they committed zero in property damage.

00:38:02.000 Zero in property damage when I saw them go down.

00:38:05.000 Compare that to 700 plus million dollars in property damage from Black Lives Matter. 1.00

00:38:09.000 Fires every night, smashed cars, windows.

00:38:11.000 It's for heat.

00:38:12.000 From what I saw, and anyone can correct me if I'm wrong out there, you comment, let me know.

00:38:16.000 Because if I'm wrong, I want you to tell me.

00:38:18.000 Just be like my wife.

00:38:23.000 It's never ending.

00:38:24.000 It's a full-time job.

00:38:26.000 By the way, I'll tell you what, you know what I did yesterday?

00:38:28.000 What's that?

00:38:28.000 Something wrong.

00:38:29.000 I got really petty.

00:38:30.000 My wife was like, she put her roller board from her GBS, like the wooden board with a roller ball underneath it to get her balancing. 1.00

00:38:37.000 For the third time, she put it around the corner and it's the same color as her wooden floorboards.

00:38:41.000 And I stepped on it and I hurt my back.

00:38:43.000 And I went and I said, OK.

00:38:44.000 Did you fall?

00:38:45.000 No, I didn't.

00:38:45.000 Did you go down?

00:38:46.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:47.000 I had a twinge in my back and I went and I said, OK.

00:38:49.000 I said, we've talked about this three times.

00:38:50.000 I said, next time, if you put that there and I hurt myself, I'm going to yell.

00:38:53.000 And she's like, why do you always have to yell?

00:38:54.000 I'm like, I'm not yelling.

00:38:54.000 I said, I'm going to yell.

00:38:56.000 I'm telling you.

00:38:56.000 And then she goes, I know.

00:38:57.000 So I said, OK, fine.

00:38:58.000 If we're going to have a complete, this is the rule now, we're going to have a complete and total lack of consideration for one another, fine.

00:39:02.000 I went in and I started smoking a cigar and I swear to God, ashed it on the carpet.

00:39:08.000 That is petty.

00:39:08.000 Then she walked in to apologize, saw the ashes, walked out, and I immediately knew I was wrong.

00:39:14.000 By the way, I love it.

00:39:17.000 I would have won!

00:39:18.000 She was doing the right thing.

00:39:21.000 And by the way, I love what you did.

00:39:24.000 You were gonna have to buy new carpet if that ruined it.

00:39:27.000 No, you know what I did?

00:39:28.000 I picked a cigar that I know drops off in chunks, so afterwards it didn't actually get on the carpet.

00:39:32.000 And it's a rug that has like a... I'm not sure I trust you on cigar action anyway, so... But the visual is the same.

00:39:36.000 Oh yeah, you don't trust my cigar eyes, by the way.

00:39:38.000 For people who want to look at this.

00:39:39.000 Can you see this?

00:39:41.000 Yeah, that shows up for sure.

00:39:42.000 That shows up for sure.

00:39:43.000 That's absolutely disgusting.

00:39:44.000 I was sitting in, again, hurt my back, empty gravity chair, and tapped the ash, and I went, ah!

00:39:48.000 Unfortunately, I couldn't get it out because my inverted sternum is like a cup.

00:39:51.000 Hold up.

00:39:52.000 I'm going to zoom in.

00:39:53.000 Can you zoom in?

00:39:54.000 Oh, boy.

00:39:55.000 Let me get this here.

00:39:56.000 Oh, we got the close-up camera.

00:39:57.000 Get the burn cams in.

00:39:58.000 Get the focus in.

00:40:00.000 Burn cams.

00:40:01.000 Look at that.

00:40:02.000 Look at that.

00:40:03.000 And I was smearing it around.

00:40:04.000 Look at that.

00:40:05.000 Your life is so hard.

00:40:06.000 It's disgusting.

00:40:07.000 I don't need so much corrections.

00:40:09.000 I don't need your comments correcting me so much as comments for a nice salve.

00:40:14.000 Maybe just use common sense next time.

00:40:16.000 So we'll go back to Proud Boys.

00:40:17.000 Let's assume that they're far right.

00:40:18.000 Zero property damage compared to Black Lives Matter. 0.99

00:40:21.000 From what I saw, zero civilians targeted or harmed.

00:40:24.000 From what I saw.

00:40:25.000 Well look at that.

00:40:26.000 Certainly no targeting.

00:40:27.000 That's not why they went there.

00:40:28.000 They went there for a back the blue rally as far as I understand.

00:40:31.000 We have $700 million in property damage.

00:40:33.000 We have no civilians targeted right here from the Proud Boys.

00:40:36.000 Again, this is the worst!

00:40:37.000 The far right has to offer us!

00:40:39.000 These guys, you can't put in Richard Spencer in there because he just voted for Biden!

00:40:43.000 And I always have to remember who Richard Spencer is.

00:40:45.000 I'm like, oh, he's the one white supremacist who still exists.

00:40:47.000 Oh, OK.

00:40:47.000 And he supports Joe Biden.

00:40:48.000 And a bad haircut.

00:40:49.000 Yeah.

00:40:50.000 But surely they emptied a CVS or something, right?

00:40:53.000 You would assume so.

00:40:54.000 I would assume so.

00:40:54.000 Or at the very least, like a Duane Reade.

00:40:56.000 They don't have him out there in Portland.

00:40:58.000 That's a New York thing.

00:40:59.000 So you know what?

00:40:59.000 Get your facts straight before you come on my show.

00:41:01.000 Let's contrast this, not attacking any civilians, with Black Lives Matter. 0.66

00:41:15.000 Again, I warn you, graphic content here today because I think you guys need to know the truth.

00:41:19.000 The gall of that guy trying to drive on the road.

00:41:22.000 They caught this guy by the way.

00:41:23.000 Yes, he should go to jail for a very long time.

00:41:28.000 Or what they should do is, like Apocalypto, give him the right to, only instead of the right to run, he has the right to reach into a glove box.

00:41:34.000 They knocked this guy out and called him a loser.

00:41:36.000 Yeah.

00:41:37.000 They claimed he was trying to run people over.

00:41:38.000 It's like, that's not what happened.

00:41:39.000 This is the guy in Dallas who we have going to the live stream.

00:41:56.000 Now as you can see, those aren't, that's not warring gangs or factions there.

00:42:00.000 Those are civilians who are around, right?

00:42:03.000 Again, Proud Boys got into fights.

00:42:05.000 They showed up to fight with Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

00:42:08.000 They showed up to back the blue, but listen, they expect it, obviously.

00:42:12.000 Because really, you don't even need to bait the hook.

00:42:14.000 You just show up.

00:42:16.000 It's just around now.

00:42:18.000 It's like, what do I need to do to be the target of their ire, for them to be violent?

00:42:23.000 Exist.

00:42:23.000 Walk down the street.

00:42:24.000 Just exist.

00:42:25.000 Be a human and they will violently attack you.

00:42:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:42:30.000 And by the way, just because Black Lives Matter Antifa happened to be protesting somewhere, it doesn't mean that somebody else can't protest as well.

00:42:36.000 If you're backing their right to protest, you have to back everybody's right.

00:42:39.000 They can walk down the street and not do anything wrong.

00:42:42.000 It's fine.

00:42:42.000 So my point is this.

00:42:44.000 Yeah, I know we have our guest, who we'll be on here with in just a second, Jeremy Hambly from The Quartering.

00:42:48.000 But if the Proud Boys are the far, my right, your left, far right, and Black Lives Matter and Antifa are the left, and we see no civilians targeted, no police officers targeted, no, contrast that of course with 900 officer casualties you see.

00:43:01.000 People get mad at me and say, why do you say casualties?

00:43:03.000 Because look up the definition of casualties.

00:43:05.000 Do you pay taxes?

00:43:06.000 So, casualties from Black Lives Matter. 0.98

00:43:10.000 Really, the only people, if you're checking your closet for the far-right boogeyman, the only people who need to be checking their closet, checking under the bed, are Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

00:43:18.000 So if you out there are concerned about which side is more dangerous, there is one side that systematically and continually, there has been a long-standing history of them being dangerous to anyone who gets in their path.

00:43:30.000 It's a cluster bomb versus a laser-guided missile.

00:43:33.000 Proud Boys?

00:43:33.000 Sure, it's wrong.

00:43:34.000 You can't just show up and start beating people up.

00:43:36.000 The reason the officers didn't interfere is because a lot of states have mutual combat laws.

00:43:39.000 I don't know if that's the case in Oregon.

00:43:40.000 I don't think it is.

00:43:40.000 I know in Washington there is.

00:43:41.000 But if people are mutually engaging in combat, and it's not going to the point of death or something incredibly dangerous, people have that right.

00:43:48.000 So when people say, why aren't the officers doing anything?

00:43:50.000 It's because they're white. 0.99

00:43:50.000 Some of the Proud Boys are black. 0.99

00:43:52.000 No, it's because they are not targeting the officers, burning down their precincts, chanting, defund the police, and attacking civilians.

00:43:57.000 So if you want to check your closet under your bed for far-right activists, you're not going to find the Proud Boys there.

00:44:03.000 You're going to find not only Antifa, but all of Black Lives Matter.

00:44:07.000 Okay, we're going to go to a quick break.

00:44:08.000 We will be back with the quartering.

00:44:10.000 We're covering Jeremy Hamly, right after this talk with LeafyBeanBand.

00:44:12.000 He's so bright that he can't even look at my face.

00:44:16.000 He's so bright that...

00:47:05.000 To Sully.

00:47:07.000 Our next guest, Jeremy Hambly.

00:47:08.000 You know him on the YouTube as TheQuartering.

00:47:11.000 You can follow him on the Twitter at TheQuartering.

00:47:13.000 Jeremy, thank you for being here, sir.

00:47:16.000 It's an honor.

00:47:16.000 Real glad to be here.

00:47:17.000 Fan of the show.

00:47:19.000 Glad to be on.

00:47:19.000 Well, let's curb our expectations here, okay?

00:47:23.000 And you've spoken, actually, with half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond, if I'm not mistaken.

00:47:27.000 Yeah, you know, I've engaged with him, and he told me he was giving For people who don't know, you did a video on this, I know quite a few people have, but you kind of cover these topics quite a bit, so I wanted to have you on.

00:47:40.000 No, that's the I'm annoyed every time you call price.

00:47:43.000 That's the I have to have a caller ID super screener price.

00:47:47.000 For people who don't know, you did a video on this.

00:47:49.000 I know quite a few people have, but you kind of cover these topics quite a bit.

00:47:52.000 So I wanted to have you on.

00:47:53.000 Leafy is someone who was really big on YouTube a while back.

00:47:58.000 And as far as I understand it, he is still banned on YouTube, correct?

00:48:04.000 Explain to people what the conflict is here.

00:48:07.000 Yeah, he is still banned.

00:48:09.000 And as a minor update, his second channel was banned.

00:48:12.000 So the generally accepted reasoning is that he had made a series of videos about a particular content creator.

00:48:24.000 And some of them were kind of just clickbaiting her.

00:48:26.000 Some of them were Critiquing her directly all as he describes himself in comedy and satire apparently YouTube didn't like that and so they banned his channel at the time he had zero strikes and

00:48:41.000 To date, he has received zero communications from YouTube.

00:48:43.000 He received zero emails.

00:48:45.000 Wow.

00:48:45.000 Why his account was banned.

00:48:47.000 Team YouTube has replied to thousands of other requests for information on their official Twitter account, and they've ignored his request, which has something like 70,000 interactions.

00:49:00.000 To be clear, Leafy is not a small... Leafy had like four plus million subscribers.

00:49:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:05.000 Also did gaming.

00:49:06.000 I'm not super familiar.

00:49:07.000 I know he had the emo cut.

00:49:08.000 That's about what I remember.

00:49:10.000 Yeah, people say yeah, yeah, as well as some sort of a weak chin, but I don't, like Leafy's content wasn't exactly for me, but my interest in it is simply the naked exposure of YouTube's community guideline strikes meaning nothing.

00:49:29.000 Yeah.

00:49:31.000 In my opinion, strikes should be things that are issued to give corrective action.

00:49:38.000 Right.

00:49:39.000 If you're going to issue all three at once, and you basically just have a public execution, what is the point for other content creators to rely on this system?

00:49:49.000 Right.

00:49:50.000 Yeah, what's the point to a warning if it's like, hey, I fired a warning shot and he's dead?

00:49:53.000 Well, he fired a warning shot and then nine times straight to the sternum.

00:49:56.000 Well, it seems like the warning shot was kind of incidental at that point, Charles.

00:50:01.000 Let me ask, what's the general reaction from, again, for people who don't know, this wasn't political, this is just, it's not consistent with YouTube's guidelines, and by the way, I'm sorry that those guidelines have gotten more stringent.

00:50:11.000 Guilty!

00:50:12.000 Apologies!

00:50:14.000 I didn't intend for it to be the case!

00:50:16.000 But in my case, right, we had criticized Vox many times, and not just specific people at Vox, we'd criticized multiple different people, multiple different channels from Vox.

00:50:24.000 I mean, you just said weak chin, and I see this as a man who grew a beard to hide my own very weak chin.

00:50:27.000 some individuals got upset and YouTube acknowledged that this was by and large

00:50:30.000 it was a criticism of Vox's ideas and yeah listen ad hominem sometimes because

00:50:34.000 it's funny I mean you just said weak chin and I see this as a man who grew a

00:50:37.000 beard to hide my own very weak chin. If I drool it goes straight down into my

00:50:42.000 chest ashburn. So but here's my question is the issue is obviously inconsistent

00:50:48.000 application of guidelines and there's no real use to them if they if they aren't

00:50:52.000 something that people understand.

00:50:53.000 What I find really upsetting is when you get big YouTubers, and I don't want to throw you under the bus, but people like H3H3 or before, you know, Philip DeFranco, people who are these big YouTubers out there who go, well, I'm either happy about this or what do you guys think?

00:51:06.000 And they don't take a stand.

00:51:08.000 You see that all the time, like, I don't know.

00:51:09.000 No offense taken.

00:51:10.000 Yeah.

00:51:11.000 What do you beautiful bastards think?

00:51:12.000 I don't know.

00:51:13.000 Do you have an opinion?

00:51:14.000 Because they're coming for you next.

00:51:15.000 So what do you think?

00:51:16.000 What has the reaction been from YouTube and people online in general?

00:51:20.000 Has it been largely positive because I know this person was disliked?

00:51:23.000 Or do these people also understand that even if they dislike somebody, it still doesn't set a good precedent for this person to be permabanned?

00:51:31.000 Well, so just first and foremost, I think you already know or some of your viewers, we do share them.

00:51:37.000 My opinion is that it's 100% grade A.

00:51:40.000 BS.

00:51:43.000 And whether or not you liked his content is irrelevant to me.

00:51:46.000 I think that most people in the know have had this kind of a take.

00:51:52.000 Some of his content is difficult to defend.

00:51:54.000 There were definitely terms of service breaking things in some of his videos and I've covered that and he's definitely deserved a strike or two for some of that stuff.

00:52:04.000 But What's really disgusting is some of these large creators, like you've mentioned, and I'll go a step further because I'm on your platform and I won't suffer as much as you, a creator like h3h3 openly celebrating it. 1.00

00:52:21.000 Yeah, right.

00:52:21.000 That is this stuff that I cannot stand.

00:52:25.000 It is one of the most, you know, there's that saying, right, they came for whatever and then I said nothing and I said nothing and then when they came for me there was no one left.

00:52:32.000 Right.

00:52:33.000 There is another YouTuber who is subject of a serious amount of cancel culture.

00:52:38.000 And he put out a tweet basically like, well, nothing of value was lost.

00:52:45.000 Freedom!

00:52:47.000 I won't say that Leafy was necessarily a victim of cancel culture, but it did spin up after he was terminated.

00:52:54.000 A lot of people jumping on the, wow, before he lost his platform I hadn't said anything.

00:53:00.000 But now that he's gone, I've been against his clear harassment for years.

00:53:04.000 I hated him before it was cool.

00:53:07.000 Right, right, yeah.

00:53:09.000 And that's coming from some of the large creators, and it's difficult because as someone who supports alt-tech, and you support as well, I see you have a BitChute account, which is good for you, but these creators don't see an alternative, and they don't see the big picture, and they don't see that what they'll say down the road, or an old joke they made, will come back to get them the second people want it to.

00:53:32.000 And it's such Yeah, it's such a hypocritical position to take. So I think

00:53:36.000 the overall position, sorry, is that most people understand it's a bad thing. There are a few

00:53:42.000 people with very poor takes, usually people that he's made fun of, quite honestly.

00:53:50.000 It's nakedly, it's like a total obvious hypocrisy.

00:53:53.000 So, you know, in general I think people are against it.

00:53:56.000 Yeah, and we're going to go to a web extended at lineofthecutter.com slash mugclub here really quickly for people who are watching on YouTube because sometimes we can't discuss everything on YouTube.

00:54:04.000 But I'm someone who was the victim of this myself, by the way, in that the Young Turks, when I had like 50,000 subscribers, the reason people say, well, why do you have such an ax to grind with them? 0.70

00:54:12.000 I don't anymore because it would be bullying.

00:54:13.000 It would be like punching down.

00:54:15.000 But when I was coming up, they targeted me when I was a small channel, and I never wanted them to be banned.

00:54:20.000 I just wanted to be able to have a debate.

00:54:22.000 I wanted to be able to have my content be just as publicly available as theirs.

00:54:26.000 So I have been the victim of targeted campaigns, both from people who were bullying when I was small and cancel culture.

00:54:31.000 And I don't advocate for any of those people to be banned.

00:54:34.000 We've had people on the show that I disagree with, who've been banned, and I don't advocate for it.

00:54:38.000 So someone like an H3H3, who I saw, I've seen Philip DeFranco, I've seen a few people in the past, just, I'm so disappointed when I see it, and they sort of are taking up arms with the NBC, you know, ABC, CBSes, where they're trying to protect what's theirs, they have a huge platform now, they want to slam the door behind them, and, listen.

00:54:56.000 That's fine if they want to say that, I just don't want to see his name as Ethan Klein.

00:54:59.000 You say, this is my opinion.

00:55:00.000 I don't want to see him ever bitching about cancel culture ever again, or complaining when something of his is taken out of context.
