00:01:37.020 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:01:39.780 Is there systemic racism from the RCMP in Fort McMurray? I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:02:09.780 Is one isolated incident in Fort McMurray that we still don't have the full context, video evidence

00:02:18.500 and investigation of somehow evidence of systemic racism against Indigenous people

00:02:25.100 by the RCMP writ large? Well if you watch the news coverage about what happened to Chief

00:02:32.240 Alan Adam a couple of months ago outside of a casino during a traffic stop you would definitely think that

00:02:39.440 way. Alan Adam recently held a press conference just now piggybacking on the BLM protest to show his

00:02:47.000 black eye and busted up face after an altercation with Fort McMurray RCMP. Adam also showed a cell phone

00:02:54.060 video of the altercation at that press conference. Now the RCMP were universally condemned based on that

00:03:01.320 information but now more information is trickling out. A full 11 minute dash cam video was released by the

00:03:08.860 RCMP that gives far greater context to what actually happened. Now I've been doing my best to stay

00:03:15.600 completely out of this until all the facts roll in before I weigh in and that's where I'm still at on

00:03:23.260 this issue. I know there can be bad cops especially when I know one bent the arm of my friend Kian Bexty

00:03:30.240 behind his back when Kian was just trying to do journalism but I also know that there are really great

00:03:35.380 cops doing dangerous work to protect their communities from harm. Now since this happened

00:03:40.860 in Fort McMurray and I know an expert on all things Fort McMurray and he's someone who's an absolute

00:03:48.320 advocate for the Indigenous community I thought I'd invite him on the show to discuss the effect of these

00:03:54.180 horrible accusations on the people of Fort McMurray. So joining me to discuss this and also some

00:04:01.260 mouthing off by that little urchin Greta Thunberg and the Trans Mountain Pipeline is Robbie Picard

00:04:08.860 from Oil Sand Strong in an interview we recorded yesterday afternoon.

00:04:13.320 So joining me now from his home in Fort McMurray is my friend Robbie Picard from Oil Sand Strong.

00:04:34.920 Robbie thank you so much for coming on the show.

00:04:36.800 Thank you for having me.

00:04:38.720 I wanted to have you on the show because you sort of touch on all the issues that I wanted to

00:04:45.100 talk about first of all. You are Indigenous but you're also an advocate for Indigenous businesses

00:04:51.340 and Indigenous prosperity. You are pro-oil and gas but more than anything you are the biggest booster

00:05:02.300 of any community that I've ever seen. You are so pro-Fort McMurray and you're sort of a refugee 1.00

00:05:11.920 to Fort McMurray. You didn't grow up there you just love it there and I wanted to have you on the show

00:05:17.740 because Fort McMurray is in the spotlight right now with all the BLM protests and the talks of

00:05:24.820 systemic racism. They're an Indigenous chief in your region one that has taken money from tides but he's

00:05:34.100 also pro-oil and gas when he needs to be. Chief Alan Adam has accusations against the police in Fort McMurray

00:05:41.080 of police brutality and initially we saw the photographs of Chief Alan Adam and his face after

00:05:52.020 the altercation with the RCMP and then subsequently we saw a bystander's video footage of that altercation

00:06:02.440 and then we saw the police dash cam footage of the altercation and I know some media outlets are only

00:06:09.740 showing the altercation and not the full context lead up and I think there's a reason for that but I

00:06:17.180 wanted to have you on to talk to you about this because you're in Fort McMurray. You care about Fort McMurray.

00:06:25.780 I wanted to ask you how the community is feeling about this and then I wanted to ask you sort of your take

00:06:30.800 on everything to start. I know that's big. It's big but you're a big guy. You can do it.

00:06:38.160 Out of all the times that you've interviewed me, I have to say this is the one that I've definitely

00:06:43.200 um I've I've been thinking about it and I knew I knew that this would probably be the first question

00:06:48.060 you're going to ask me today so I I I typically never prepare and I'm I haven't actually I never

00:06:52.860 I still have don't prepare for I always I always just answer the questions so um I will start from

00:06:57.720 the start at the first when the first you know bystander video came out um pretty much everyone was

00:07:05.180 leaning towards Chief Adam and very very concerned for what happened and then um later on when you saw the

00:07:12.900 you have to watch the full 11 minutes the the very first officer um I thought you know should get

00:07:20.520 definitely get a medal for patience um the the the follow-out of course um you know the takedown

00:07:29.680 and then there's debate whether it was justified if it was too hard or not at the end of the day

00:07:34.760 though um it's uh it's a very very very disturbing video on multiple fronts but the one thing I'd like

00:07:42.620 to point out though is that um I do think that there's this new wave of not accepting responsibility

00:07:49.240 for our own actions and um yeah it's concerning when you know you have a leader calling them on

00:07:56.440 multiple times getting out of the car multiple times um at the same time the one issue that I am

00:08:03.160 shocked by and I'm finding I am struggling with myself right now is um the amount of people that are

00:08:09.820 very upset with the RCMP in all walks of my life right now um whether it's reporters being taken

00:08:17.320 away briskly from covering the prime minister to business leaders that I know that say you know in

00:08:23.280 this particular situation um you know that uh you know like let's just be honest Chief Adams is not

00:08:29.880 totally clean in this I mean his at the if you if he if he didn't call the cop on any if it wasn't for

00:08:36.520 the takedown the first cop probably you know would have probably got an award for patients um at the

00:08:44.760 same time I'm I'm finding myself so conflicted right now because uh so many people I know are upset with

00:08:51.860 the police and you have this movement of people talking about defunding getting rid of the police

00:08:56.920 and they're the same people that you know if someone was trying to break into their house

00:09:01.860 or rob them that uh they'd be the first to call the police so um if any good comes out of this I

00:09:09.080 hope that there's a serious discussion about why people are so upset in general in the world right

00:09:15.280 now overall I mean I still think Fort McMurray is pretty great um you know we had the the massive

00:09:21.140 Black Lives Matter protest and other than a couple you know tense moments it was very peaceful and

00:09:27.680 everybody you know everybody kind of got on with it so um I uh I'm very very concerned right now

00:09:37.020 um also very cautious on how to approach every situation I'm in right now yeah I think that's

00:09:43.160 important uh to say because um I think especially when dealing with police um and uh dealing with

00:09:52.340 everybody you sort of have to take these things on a case-by-case basis as there are good people

00:09:58.520 and there are bad people there are good cops and there are bad cops and only those people are only

00:10:05.380 responsible for their own actions not this collective guilt and systemic problems like that um and you

00:10:12.820 I noticed very wisely from the very beginning you said okay I want to see a full and complete

00:10:23.040 investigation into what happened to Chief Alan Adam um without taking sides without hearing one side of

00:10:32.360 the story without you know tarring everybody with the same brush you said I want a complete investigation

00:10:38.520 and I frankly don't think that we are done seeing the evidence yet um we've seen one dash cam are there

00:10:46.400 more um is there um casino footage because this happened outside of a casino um that's also why I haven't

00:10:56.320 weighed in I think we sort of need to pump the brakes and get an entire picture of what happened

00:11:01.740 as opposed to one photo then a short cell phone video selectively context removed in some instances

00:11:10.800 um dash cam footage if you get your news from the mainstream media um I there's so much more to this

00:11:17.700 story however it hasn't stopped people from weighing in has it no and one thing I think that is very

00:11:25.420 important is clarity and you need to know what people's intentions are but uh the who what where

00:11:32.780 and why seems to be lacking in media now that you know the old w5 because it's very unfortunate because

00:11:40.880 it's just uh if if something doesn't suit a narrative it just doesn't go the distance you know for instance

00:11:47.880 I was looking at uh like I'm a huge Howard Stern fan I have been for years but um Howard Stern over the

00:11:54.100 years has gone very to the left and um there uh I mean he did blackface and multiple times and um

00:12:02.540 he had it's come out and but because Howard Stern is sort of on the left now they um you know he's not

00:12:09.580 getting an attack for it but if someone on the right did blackface I mean it would be council culture 0.99

00:12:13.740 cut shut them down end of story so it's very much uh you know like for instance like you know if um

00:12:22.340 if Andrew Scheer did blackface I mean we'd still be hearing about it but Justin Trudeau can do blackface 0.71

00:12:28.160 you know 10 12 times and it's okay yeah so I mean there I mean there's something there needs to be

00:12:36.420 a correction in society if we're actually going to get along that gets us back to the middle um

00:12:44.700 you know but I'm I'm definitely you know I'm finding myself just very cautious more cautious

00:12:53.740 than normal right now um but I am concerned because like if we don't get a reality check

00:13:01.840 and find a way to move society forward I think we're going to you know we're going to seriously

00:13:07.920 we're going to have some serious problems that I don't know if we're going to be able to recover when

00:13:12.400 when you know if and we could be very much be on the verge of collapse and it's sad because you know

00:13:17.720 um I just made a post today like honestly there's never been a better time to live in Fort McMurray

00:13:22.980 I mean they just put the pride flag up um a couple days ago you have a black lives matters uh you know

00:13:30.860 event in downtown Fort McMurray you have more multiculturalism than I've ever seen um the one 0.99

00:13:38.620 thing that you know I did take issue with black lives matters is um one of our city counselors

00:13:42.840 her name was Jane Stroud got up and um this uh at the black lives matters thing she she was kind of

00:13:50.640 I guess mistoked to what you're supposed to say at that event and she said all lives matter

00:13:54.420 and I mean they attacked her viciously and the one lady from black lives matters is a teacher at a 0.93

00:14:01.780 school you know she started going on to her about the 60 scoop and all this stuff and

00:14:06.120 the truth is that Jane Stroud like actually like I haven't always agreed with some of her political

00:14:10.600 decisions but I respect how she's worked for the indigenous communities in the rural areas

00:14:15.480 and has a her entire career I guarantee you done more for indigenous people than that

00:14:20.980 teacher from the from the school and like she wouldn't hear it I mean Jane actually got driven

00:14:26.800 off and wasn't allowed like they drove her off so I mean how can you have a dialogue um if you're

00:14:33.760 going to shut people down if they disagree with your narrative and two you cannot judge anyone's

00:14:38.020 life experience at all by by look at how they look you and I think that that that's wrong to make on

00:14:45.280 any front you cannot just look at someone and assume you understand their challenges

00:14:49.100 or what they've been through um and that's that's sort of my take on that yeah it's a really great

00:14:55.500 point that um you know this town councillor who has spent her life working to better indigenous

00:15:03.060 communities um she wasn't uh progressive enough because she didn't police her own language at a 0.99

00:15:10.520 BLM protest and so she's run off by people who would never do the things that she's done and never 0.90

00:15:16.420 work as hard as she has for the betterment of indigenous communities um but that's how it is that's

00:15:22.680 what cancel culture is all about people people who um play the language games properly but actually

00:15:31.320 don't do anything else they're the ones running the show now and it is crazy and you're right it is

00:15:38.440 very dangerous times now these even though there's still a full investigation going on into um the

00:15:46.060 actions of these police officers with chief alan adam uh greta tunberg from her perch across the ocean

00:15:53.320 she's weighed in and convicted them she sent a tweet that said i met with chief alan adam in fort

00:16:00.300 mcmurray last autumn um i bet she did and i'm shocked by his this shameful abuse by the rcmp very disturbing

00:16:07.360 to see um so she's basically before all the evidence is in um convicted our national police force

00:16:15.360 of systemic racism against an indigenous elder um what do you think about that

00:16:21.100 you know i had a conversation about greta tunberg the other day um one of my regrets um is when she was

00:16:33.080 here is i did not confront her is that a regret i don't know i i chose to stand down and um

00:16:39.500 here's my simple word word uh we don't need the opinion of a 17 year old girl across the ocean 1.00

00:16:48.800 who has a larger carbon footprint than she possibly wants to admit on every canadian issue um i think

00:16:56.740 it's a sad state of affairs that the world has been influenced by her i don't think she's overly

00:17:02.620 intelligent i don't think she's that knowledgeable about any issues the issues here with indigenous 0.66

00:17:07.520 people are complex and after the second video came out people are very divided again um on this on

00:17:14.640 multiple fronts there's also i mean there's another generation of people that look up to leadership um

00:17:21.880 my mentors in life have mostly been indigenous people um and women to be honest with you and um i have

00:17:29.760 huge respect for um a lot of the you know the people in the fort mcmurray that are older and indigenous

00:17:36.000 i'm you know um chief jim boucher yeah i i was very like i you know um nicole i mean she's a friend of mine um

00:17:43.760 there's several others the glosky family like these are hard-working indigenous leaders that i that i've

00:17:50.900 always respected and love the way they've conducted themselves and they uh you know i've learned how to

00:17:57.560 work harder on my own self-improvement so i say you know before we really comment we need to wait for

00:18:04.520 the full investigation to be over and then i think there's two fronts that need to be looked at you need

00:18:09.240 to look at his behavior um and how he responded and get to the root cause of why is there such hate

00:18:16.480 towards the rcmp right now and i think you need to analyze both equally and everyone in all aspects

00:18:24.200 of my life right now is you know they're having some issues but i will say like for me personally like

00:18:28.420 um i've had to dial 9-1-1 running nightclubs many times and you know when you're in a situation where

00:18:35.360 you're under threat when someone's physically going to harm you or you know you you call the cops i don't

00:18:41.860 believe that it's going to change in society and in places that the police are not responding right now

00:18:46.580 and like i mean some of the states are complete disaster yeah you're going to uh you know your

00:18:52.360 criminals will find a way to climb up to the top so i mean we're in a definitely in a very delicate

00:19:00.280 stage right now yeah and i was just thinking as you were talking about greta tinberg uh using her 0.90

00:19:06.000 private security force to get handsy with kian bexty in sweden um so she she didn't care about

00:19:11.700 um overuse of force back then when it was protecting her from um pesky questions from a pesky reporter

00:19:18.340 um i wanted to ask you about trans mountain because um there was just a very small actually

00:19:28.540 when you don't measure it in teaspoons the way the media is doing um uh very small leak they caught

00:19:37.460 it very early in abbotsford at the sumus pump station um if you read the headlines 150 000 liters

00:19:48.560 of oil the company says well that's about 940 barrels so that's actually really small they caught

00:19:53.400 it really early it's quick cleanup actually i think it's already cleaned up um it was just um like two

00:20:00.000 days worth of cleanup and it's ready to go um but now the activists are using this as a reason to

00:20:08.820 stop the twinning of that pipeline with a new state of the art version of the same pipeline there

00:20:15.560 they're mad because a 60 year old pipeline leaked and so that is for some reason they think that's a

00:20:23.780 reason to stop the upgrade of the pipeline into something far more state of the art you know um

00:20:30.100 honestly that pipeline is an amazing accomplishment i mean you're going to have the odd spill here and

00:20:36.140 there the fact that they caught it and fixed it immediately and the lives keep going as normal and

00:20:42.980 british columbia who benefited the millions and millions of dollars that that pipeline has brought them

00:20:47.140 in prosperity um are they it to me it's it's such a non-issue fix it um build a new pipeline get

00:20:55.080 become better at it um we are at a state where you know if we don't finish this pipeline and get our oil

00:21:02.200 to markets we will gradually gradually you know slowly see ourselves fall apart as a country um i'm

00:21:10.020 i'm concerned you know i mean if we want an economic recovery from the coronavirus

00:21:14.780 or covid19 we have to rebuild our economy and oil is the best way to do that so they're going to be

00:21:24.380 crybabies over any little thing over and over again um what i would say though is they should

00:21:29.420 watch michael moore's documentary planet of the humans and if they want to cry about something they

00:21:34.060 can cry about the mass devastation that so-called green energy causes the amount of birds that die

00:21:39.960 bats that die insects that die because of it um if they actually cared about improving the world they

00:21:46.920 would uh not just focus on a pipeline who has ran almost perfectly for 60 years now i wanted to ask

00:21:55.800 you um it's interesting that you brought up jobs because that was the next next thing i want to talk

00:22:00.200 to you about um the jobs numbers are in for the fort mcmurray region and um they're not good um because of the

00:22:08.280 the coronavirus shutdown plus negative oil prices um fort mcmurray wood buffalo region lost 2600 jobs

00:22:18.120 in may um it's the highest unemployment since april 2016 is the community feeling that do you think

00:22:27.240 yeah um we're in a weird space like you know we have the flood and then we've had the little oil

00:22:33.800 prices and then you had covet 19 um still recovering from the wildfire um i i don't even know how to

00:22:43.560 gauge it or where to start i do know that some businesses are booming and there's some people

00:22:48.200 doing stuff and and slowly but surely we are getting that you know getting a handle on things here

00:22:53.160 i'm optimistic i do think that oil is going to go up fairly quickly and i think that you know once this

00:22:59.400 covet stuff is over you'll see us come back and i and i also see for see a little bit of a tourism

00:23:04.520 boom because there's gonna be a lot of local tourism in alberta now because people are going too far

00:23:09.480 so i'm hoping we can benefit from that but uh yeah like i mean we've been it's hard sheila like it's

00:23:15.240 hard to gauge because we've just been through so much all the time like you know it's a little blurb

00:23:19.880 here a little blurb there but what i will say though is like you know um if we you know i'm confident

00:23:24.440 if they get that pipeline going that you'll see some boom here you'll see some projects because

00:23:28.840 your capacity will go up and you'll see more projects start um a couple of final things how

00:23:35.640 do you feel about greta tinberg getting a spider named after her she's been the time person of the

00:23:40.120 year now she's got a special spider named after her oh my god is it a black widow 0.99

00:23:48.840 i don't know what kind of yarn it spins but uh it's something to do with climate change yeah

00:23:55.960 they've named a spider in indonesia after this kid um she hasn't even graduated high school i don't get

00:24:03.800 it i don't understand the fascination with her because she's i mean when you speak there's not a

00:24:08.280 lot of i don't think she's brilliant i think i would mop the floor with her in a debate any day 0.91

00:24:12.760 uh i think most people would i don't think she can handle i think she's a spoiled little child 1.00

00:24:19.320 child who's slightly narcissistic who has fits when she doesn't get her way and if you question her

00:24:24.840 or throw her off i think she's like i mean even when i saw what kian did i mean it's not she'd like

00:24:29.000 i mean at that age i could have art my little foster sisters i mean they could out argue me at 16 no

00:24:34.760 problem you know they were spunky and you could argue with them and question them with her she's 1.00

00:24:38.920 she's protected with this glass bubble like you can't call her out you can't say anything negative

00:24:45.320 about her but um i do think people are catching on to her i think that the world is kind of tired

00:24:49.880 of her but i mean we have to be honest she has a massive platform and the media picks up on what 0.99

00:24:54.200 she says so i mean as much as we'd like her 15 minutes to be over it's not and i don't i think

00:24:59.880 she's one of those people will be around for quite a while tweeting and chiming in on things that are

00:25:04.840 far far beyond her comprehension um one last thing tides canada yeah the um anti-oil charity

00:25:16.680 that doesn't actually do charity work they've rebranded themselves to be called make way um 0.66

00:25:23.640 because they're tired of people um defining who they are and what they do um i guess through evidence

00:25:31.240 and tax records and and things like the uh tar sands campaign they've rebranded themselves do you

00:25:40.040 think that has to do with activism by people like you because i firmly believe that they have been

00:25:48.120 forced after 20 some odd years to change who they are um and try to whitewash their history because of

00:25:55.880 activism like people like you from people like you which means that while you might not be moving

00:26:02.040 the needle policy-wise however i think with jason kenney in charge that's changing um you are um forcing

00:26:10.440 the anti-oil movement to uh try to memory hole their own history

00:26:16.760 you notice periodically like they they i guess the other side they try and they do do that often

00:26:25.640 they change their name they or they start a new group periodically i'm not surprised by it i think

00:26:30.280 tides has become quite a negative brand um they come up all the time tides tides tides um

00:26:37.480 i you know the the the campaign against the tar sands i think it's unfortunate that when it first came

00:26:43.800 out when i guess when ezra pointed it out a long time ago that it didn't take the we didn't all rally

00:26:49.560 behind it to stop it or call it out then but yeah i imagine i mean i i believe our advocacy has had a

00:26:55.800 massive effect um on our side it's unfortunate that you don't have more advocates in the actual seats

00:27:02.200 that you know pay the bucks and that we need to you know um people like me have to like you know

00:27:08.200 subsidize our advocacy through you know doing videos or um through our businesses but it is what

00:27:14.520 it is um but yes we've made a major difference i mean the rallies that we did across this country

00:27:20.120 build that pipe build that pipe calling people out standing up to jane fonda and even signing up to

00:27:25.000 support a berman who you know i mean she's been a lot quieter since that lovely press conference but

00:27:31.560 at the same time i mean she still got two million dollars to uh grant to study how to stop uh you 0.99

00:27:39.080 know to to cancel fossil fuels on a different front i do believe that we need to look closer at

00:27:44.200 municipalities um we've been focused provincially and federally but locally um our mayors and our

00:27:50.440 local offices i do think that that i mean the other side they're they're very intelligent they yeah what

00:27:56.120 they do is they get into politics they become staffers they become they colonize everything

00:28:02.360 yep yeah they like i mean i know of uh you know of an indigenous group and i didn't even realize it

00:28:08.040 but they you know they the guy that came and then they hired all the staff like i mean all of a sudden

00:28:13.880 like there's all these people from you know they were they're not really part of this indigenous group

00:28:18.280 but they they were all hired a staff so i mean definitely it's definitely you know worth looking at for

00:28:23.960 sure but i also for my organization oil and gas strong i i'm trying to go back to being a little

00:28:30.040 bit more non-partisan than i was i found myself weaning a little right and i want to try and just

00:28:35.800 you know remind people that you know no matter where who you vote for the benefit of oil and gas for you

00:28:41.240 personally and feeding your family and feeding your grandkids and stability as a country um benefits us

00:28:47.960 all and i and i i mean i i don't believe that it's ever been about uh oil sands or climate change i

00:28:56.120 think you're seeing it now it there's a narrative to move us towards of socialism or um you know it's

00:29:03.480 like communism and and it's very unfortunate because um i we have a really good right now we do even now

00:29:12.520 you know i mean covet 19 i mean look look people still got two grand a month i mean businesses got

00:29:17.560 money i mean it could be way worse it could be way way way worse you know and yet we are completely

00:29:24.920 you know completely hell-bent on destroying you know what's working capitalism works in this country

00:29:30.760 we're very lucky to live here and i mean it could be improved i'm terrified um

00:29:35.560 um i'm just terrified of the of the lack of lack of accountability for one's own actions

00:29:45.080 and this notion that you know you're somehow responsible for everything that has gone wrong

00:29:50.200 it's not your fault and so i i i do believe that you need to own your own actions and i think that that

00:29:57.160 that's what we need to focus on as a society and um if we just got our all to market you know we'd have

00:30:03.560 more jobs and if we took our i mean look at the wealth of saudi arabia look at the wealth of norway

00:30:08.680 if we act we have we are far superior country to them in so many ways if we just said look like we're

00:30:16.600 we're no longer going to you know be treated like we're not valuable and like the stephen harper said

00:30:24.840 like you know like we're a world energy superpower imagine the country we could have but i mean i don't

00:30:30.840 know if we'll ever get to that point robbie thank you for being so generous with your time i want

00:30:36.760 to give you a chance to let everybody know where they can get those amazing sweatshirts that sometimes

00:30:42.040 people will see me wearing on air um for from oil and gas strong and how they can support the work that

00:30:47.960 you do because i firmly believe you've scared tides canada so much they had to change their name and

00:30:56.840 they get millions and millions and millions of dollars to do the work that that they do when

00:31:03.880 you do it on a shoestring budget and you brought those people to their knees so please tell people

00:31:09.880 how they can support you so we just upgraded our website go to oilandgasstrong.com or oilsandstrong.com

00:31:17.240 bear in mind there's a few little tweaks to it um but um we're it looks pretty good actually and uh yeah

00:31:24.600 and then just uh like us on our facebook page oil and gas strong on facebook that's great robbie

00:31:30.600 is that everything yeah perfect also follow you on twitter because you could use some uh twitter

00:31:36.920 yeah my twitter's never been my strong never twitter's never been my strong suit i have moments of

00:31:41.880 where i do well on twitter so i'm on twitter um at robbie picard and then at oil sand strong

00:31:47.000 i think it's picard robbie actually maybe that's why you're not getting followers you're giving

00:31:50.760 out the wrong twitter account picard robbie cool thank you yes thanks robbie we'll have you on the

00:31:56.520 show really really soon thanks awesome thanks if there's one thing i know about the mainstream media

00:32:08.760 it's that they don't like to learn they will rush to judge because that judgment lines up with their own

00:32:18.280 political narrative let's look back at the covington catholic school boys those boys were painted as

00:32:28.840 white male privileged because of a short clip of them standing face to face with an indigenous

00:32:38.280 man protester at the march for life last year but once the full context

00:32:46.360 of the video came in the boys were not the white privileged perpetrators but rather the peaceful

00:32:56.440 stoic victims of aggression and the media well they're paying the full price for that as the

00:33:04.680 lawsuits from those boys roll in because the mainstream media rushed to ruin their reputations

00:33:12.120 because what the media thought was happening completely lined up with their anti-male anti-pro-life anti-religious

00:33:23.080 narrative they just wanted it to be true so much so that they just couldn't wait till all the facts were

00:33:31.800 revealed and that's what i'm trying to do right now i'm willing to be open-minded with what happened to

00:33:40.360 chief alan adam but i want all the facts on the table before i make the decision about whether

00:33:46.360 this was good cops or an aggressive chief and i hope i hope my media colleagues do the same but

00:33:55.160 you know what they probably won't well everybody that's the show for tonight thank you so much for

00:33:59.720 tuning in i'll see everybody back here in the same time in the same place next week and remember

00:34:04.360 don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think

00:34:18.360 so
