It s been a deadly two weeks for police officers in the U.S. as two officers in Dallas are shot and a sheriff s deputy in Maine is murdered. The suspect, John Williams, was out on bail for a firearms offense at the time of the shooting.
00:00:25.720And a Manhattan judge in New York City rules that bars and restaurants can throw out Trump supporters.
00:00:32.740You might be surprised by what I think about this judge's ruling.
00:00:42.620Tragic week for police in the United States as two officers in Dallas are shot and a sheriff's deputy in Somerset County, Maine, Eugene Cole, is murdered.
00:00:53.640The suspect, John Williams, was out on bail for a firearms offense.
00:00:59.080Our good friend Rob O'Donnell, retired New York City detective, has been doing a lot of research on this story.
00:01:05.000He's put out a very comprehensive thread on Twitter.
00:01:44.740And for the New England area, this is another career criminal that should have been incarcerated, released by liberal judges on pathetic bail to murder another New England police officer.
00:01:56.360Two New England police officers would be alive if the judges stuck to the letter of the law and protected the public.
00:02:02.480Now, he was arrested for firearms-related charges.
00:02:06.400This guy, John Williams, who is a suspect in the murder of Deputy Cole, not even a month ago, just a little over a month ago, March 22nd, by the Massachusetts State Police.
00:02:17.860He's released on bail, presumably in Massachusetts, correct?
00:02:23.380So another Massachusetts judge is releasing violent, violent criminals out on bail to go kill police and the public.
00:02:31.480I just—it's almost at this point, you know, why even bother?
00:02:37.400Why should cops even put themselves in the line of fire if these liberal judges are just going to let the savages back out onto the street?
00:02:44.200This subject, Williams, was due in court the day he murdered Deputy Cole.
00:02:48.400What would have been the problem to hold him for those 30 days?
00:02:54.740Deputy Cole would be alive if he was held on a firearms charge.
00:02:58.360He's a prior convicted felon from 2006 for burglary.
00:03:02.820He was arrested with a firearm by Massachusetts State Police.
00:03:06.000Two firearms loaded, magazines, high-capacity magazines on the Maryland law—Massachusetts law.
00:03:11.940And he was arrested and released within seven days.
00:03:15.680See, Rob, but this—doesn't this go to the heart?
00:03:18.400And I want to get into Deputy Cole in a moment, his history.
00:03:20.920He was a bit older of a deputy, 62 years old.
00:03:23.860But doesn't this really strike at the heart of liberals' arguments?
00:05:47.240Here's a pattern and practice of, in the end, putting the public at risk.
00:05:53.400You know, we're highlighting it, and the nation will forget about it shortly, because police officers are dying.
00:06:00.420But by putting these people out on the streets, if they will murder a police officer at the drop of a dime, where do we think the average citizen, the average tourist in the New England area stands when they're confronted by these savages?
00:06:13.220If somebody is willing to fight with, do that, to kill a police officer armed and trained with a radio to call backup, my God, what are they going to do to that single mother on the bus stop at 6.30 on a dark morning going to work?
00:06:57.360I mean, he started his career in law enforcement when most of us are ending it.
00:07:01.940From what I'm understanding, his son is a deputy sheriff in the area up there as well.
00:07:05.860Yeah, Officer Down Memorial Page, which is a great resource for this sort of thing, says he is survived by his son, who is also a deputy with the same agency.
00:07:15.460My God, how tragic if his son had to respond and see his father shot dead.
00:07:21.320And the whole situation, the facts in this case, where there was some sort of confrontation at 1.45 a.m. in the morning, where this animal murdered Deputy Cole, stole his police car and went to a convenience store gas station and robbed it.
00:08:48.360It looks like an off-duty or school or the store lost prevention called police for a suspicious or suspect.
00:08:56.140I've heard two different accounts where he was recognized by an off-duty police officer for wanted for a prior felony.
00:09:03.260And then there's another one where the school, the store resource officer got involved with it.
00:09:08.720But the two police officers from the Dallas area responded and the altercation occurred where both Dallas police officers were shot in the head.
00:09:20.940It says, police officer Rogelio Santander succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained the previous day while he and two other officers attempted to arrest a shoplifting suspect at a Home Depot store.
00:09:31.800An off-duty officer working overtime at the store and the end of the store's loss prevention officer detained the suspect who attempted to shoplift during the investigation.
00:09:40.320It was determined the man had an outstanding felony warrant.
00:09:45.980Officer Santander and then another officer arrived at the store and remained with the subject in the loss prevention office.
00:09:51.640As the off-duty officer confirmed the warrant, as they attempted to place him in handcuffs, he drew a handgun from his pocket, got both officers and the loss prevention officer.
00:10:02.100He fled the scene, but was later located.
00:10:04.040We know he was arrested the following day.
00:10:07.080I just, you know, I don't want to, why didn't they toss this guy?
00:10:11.720Why did they, when they had him in the loss prevention office for the shoplifting, they, somebody didn't search this.
00:10:18.040And it just goes to show when the public, you know, screams, why are you searching that individual?
00:10:33.440But this is, this is, you nailed it, Rob.
00:10:36.680Back when we were on the job, back before people had cell phone cameras in your face and back before the Black Lives Matter movement,
00:10:43.220do you know of any cop that would have second guessed themselves and the minute they found out somebody had a felony warrant and not had them on the wall searching them?
00:11:02.840It's the, it's the day in and day out vilification of police by the left that's getting them killed.
00:11:09.720This, this is the fruits of eight years of, of denouncing the police, of eight years of making us the boogeyman, making us the bad, making us the racist, making us the Nazis.
00:11:22.060The police serve and protect every individual, every community in this nation.
00:11:32.520It's just the time now that we start focusing on that.
00:11:35.500You know, I say that on the show, every single time I cover a law enforcement topic, which is pretty often, almost daily, that I've never sat in a patrol car, got a priority call, go racing their lights and sirens and asked the race of the victim or the religion of the victim or the sexual orientation of the victim or the political affiliation of the victim.
00:12:00.480Have you, has anyone you, you've ever known, have you ever heard that happen?
00:12:04.960I know you haven't, you know I haven't, yet the left makes it seem as if policing is selective based on race.
00:12:13.260No, the race of the offender is a necessary element for description and location.
00:12:19.280I've never heard of a cop anywhere who ever said, what's the race of the victim?
00:12:23.260Oh, they're a black homosexual or I turn the lights and sirens off, let's slow down.
00:12:27.040It's never happened in the history of policing.
00:12:28.980Absolutely. It's, it's another false narrative that we've fallen into over time.
00:12:35.440And this is, this is a historic tactic of the left.
00:12:39.540I mean, look back, you know, when the Irish immigrated, they made them look like angry leprechauns because they were the boogeyman.
00:12:44.640You know, look at what they did with the, with slavery, you know, mocking.
00:12:49.380When the Italians came over, when the Jews came over, every group was, was vilified.
00:12:54.420But the difference is those groups, the Italians, the Irish, the Jews, when they migrated to the U.S.,
00:13:00.880they looked at the problem very differently.
00:13:03.640The Italians and the Irish said, oh yeah, well then we're just going to become the cops and firemen.
00:13:07.720The Jews said, oh yeah, you're trying to keep us out of business?
00:13:10.060We're just going to become the bankers and the lawyers.
00:13:12.040And, you know, I mean, so those groups looked at it, saw a problem, tackled the problem and succeeded.
00:13:18.360I don't like this, this victim mentality.
00:13:21.780We saw all over the media, Candace Owens, she's being praised by Kanye West.
00:13:27.140What is with this, this desire to be oppressed?
00:13:30.440This victim mentality where it's everyone's fault but your own and then vilifying people to the point to get killed.
00:13:37.440The second you don't walk their line, the second you don't believe like the left does, they're going to attack you.
00:13:42.520Regardless if you're, like what's going on now with Kanye West, you know, he's the epitome of that ironic fact on them.
00:13:52.500You know, I've always, every time the left cries oppression, cries they're vilified, well, we look different or we sound different because of inner city dialect.
00:14:02.500I point to Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese.
00:14:11.020Koreans come to this country, they look different, they can barely speak the language, they open businesses, they work around the clock, they succeed.
00:14:17.840And in Los Angeles, back in the 90s, they were the first people attacked.
00:14:21.220They were the only ethnic group willing to service some of these black areas that were gang ridden and murderous.
00:14:28.160They went in there, they opened up businesses, they serviced the community, and they were the ones first victimized.
00:14:33.560We see it in New York with the Korean grocery stores on almost every corner, right, open 24 hours a day.
00:14:39.820Those are the people robbed, shot, and killed.
00:14:42.140It will never, I don't even want to say make sense to me, but at which point do we start pointing the fingers and placing blame where it belongs?
00:14:49.920On certain communities that have no interest in succeeding.
00:14:54.160A very small subset of those communities, I'll add, but that would rather point fingers, go out there, murder, and then make excuses for why they're doing it.
00:15:02.340And their main excuse is oppression from 400 years ago.
00:15:29.240And the most heartbreaking part of this is that you and I are most likely going to be back here in a couple of days or a couple of weeks talking about another slain cop.
00:15:42.520I mean, with what's going on in Massachusetts where they just signed a criminal justice reform bill to make releasing these animals easier.
00:15:51.800You know, let's keep them less in jail.
00:16:52.120But I don't think that's what the liberal judges have in mind.
00:16:54.300And I would hope that the private prison industry and all their money starts to lobby very, very hard against this no cash bail concept.
00:17:02.000Because we will see crime rates skyrocket back to the 1970s and 80s.
00:17:06.300And if they make a move like that, put some kind of clause in there where there is some culpability on the judges that are making these decisions.
00:17:18.460Why don't we have transferred intent for judges, right?
00:17:21.940If I drive you to a grocery store knowing you're going to rob it, you blow away the clerk, I'm getting charged with the murder.
00:17:28.940Well, if a judge releases on their own recognizance or on a pittance of bail somebody with a laundry list of violent felonies and they commit a violent felony, why the hell shouldn't that judge also face a charge?
00:17:40.600You'll see judges act very, very differently.
00:17:54.300You know, if you're a police officer, if you're a police supervisor, if you're a police administrator in your department, you're going to pay the price.
00:18:17.940It's a law enforcement paternal organization.
00:18:19.860They do amazing things for the families of fallen police officers, flowers to every funeral, a lot of help behind the scenes to these families, emotional support, financial support.
00:19:21.200Are people, especially people of color, finally becoming enlightened that the left has done nothing but oppress them and use them as pawns for years?
00:28:09.520Well, the players in Hollywood, the powers that be, have, unlike many other businesses,
00:28:14.820tremendous influence over who's made and who's broken.
00:28:19.320If you were to go to work for JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon is the CEO, a very, very powerful guy, right?
00:28:25.460But Jamie Dimon doesn't get in the weeds of a young trader's politics.
00:28:29.660If there's a young trader on a desk in New York and Jamie Dimon is a Democrat,
00:28:34.000I don't know if he's Republican or Democrat, but for argument's sake, he's a Democrat and he likes Barack Obama.
00:28:38.340But that young trader who just came out of business school is working a trading desk in New York and he's killing it.
00:28:44.520He's making the bank a lot of money and he's putting up on Twitter and Facebook that he supports Donald Trump or he supports Rand Paul or he supported Ted Cruz.
00:28:52.380He's not putting incendiary inflammatory things that would get him fired.
00:29:41.740It doesn't matter how good you are, how much potential you have, unless you're at the level of a Kanye West or a Chance the Rapper or a Clint Eastwood or a John Voight or a Tom Selleck or a James Woods, unless you have many, many years in the business and you've already made it and you've made it on your own and you don't need the powers that be and the labels, they will crush you.
00:30:07.460The Harvey Weinsteins of the world, the David Geffins of the world, the Rob Reiners of the world, these radical leftists, they will step in and they will crush you.
00:30:17.180Because you don't subscribe to their far left point of view.
00:30:21.120Now, if you know anything about the industry, News Corp, parent company of Fox, which most people think Fox News, but it's also Fox Studios, one of the biggest in the world, was my client for years.
00:30:30.840And I got, I worked with their government affairs group.
00:30:33.980The powers that be would court Democratic politicians because Democratic politicians had had this relationship with the movie industry.
00:30:44.480Christopher Dodd, Dodd Frank, far left Democrat from Connecticut is now one of the most influential entertainment industry lobbyists in D.C.
00:31:02.400They would then give him access to the studio lot and he'd get invited to parties with celebrities and celebrities would share cell phone numbers with him and he'd get all these perks.
00:31:14.380I think it was all above board as far as I saw.
00:31:17.040But he was, you know, loved being able to drive down to New York City and hang out with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino and, you know, beautiful actresses and take photos with them.
00:31:26.300And when he got out, he was rewarded very handsomely with lobbying contracts from the studios for all the nice things he did for them while he was in Congress.
00:31:40.220Don't you dare even hint that you're a Republican in the entertainment industry because the entertainment industry was always radically far left.
00:31:48.200They gravitated naturally to Democrats.
00:31:49.740Democrats did their bidding in Congress.
00:31:53.500So now they've got this very fragile hold on film credits, subsidies, all of these things that you need the federal government to do for you in certain industries.
00:32:03.500And that's the relationship of the Democrats.
00:32:06.480And that's why they're so quick when they see an up and coming star who might be Republican, who might bad mouth Democrats.
00:32:12.900They need to shut that down because a celebrity has the ability, even a young celebrity, to garner far more earned media quickly than that trader on Wall Street.
00:32:24.280That trader on Wall Street might be actually making more money than that young celebrity.
00:32:37.100That celebrity, if they go on The Ellen Show or they go on to Jimmy Fallon or Conan O'Brien or they're on Good Morning America and they are speaking to millions in that audience or they're on Twitter.
00:32:50.300It's 7 million, 5 million, 10 million followers.
00:32:54.120And they say, wow, what Donald Trump did was great or wow, Melania looked beautiful or man, Ted Cruz is a genius.
00:35:58.640And I suspect that when you've got guys like Kanye West and Chance the Rapper with followings as big as theirs, 34 million Twitter followers combined.
00:36:07.600I'm sure there's a lot of crossover there, but say 30 million unique followers.
00:36:12.960I hope that this starts to become a trend and we see more celebrities moving away from an ideology that's done nothing, that's done nothing but keep people of color down.
00:36:27.240That's done nothing but keep women down.
00:36:29.700That's done nothing but keep people of certain sexual orientations marginalized.
00:36:35.340I really want to see this spread like wildfire.
00:36:36.980The Washington Post is reporting that Rudy Giuliani has told Robert Mueller that President Trump is extremely, this is a quote, extremely opposed to a sit-down interview.
00:37:00.900I think that is a very, very wise decision.
00:37:03.600Now, Giuliani, who knows Mueller for many, many years, they worked together in the Justice Department, is apparently negotiating with Mueller to bring an end to the probe.
00:37:12.080People who are, the Washington Post claims are familiar with this, have said that Giuliani, let me read it to you from the Washington Post.
00:37:20.040Giuliani, who joined Trump's legal team last week, conveyed the ongoing resistance of Trump and his advisors to an interview with federal investigators.
00:37:28.100They should never talk to federal investigators.
00:37:30.460If I have a lawyer, I have a lawyer to speak to them, cut a deal, write down your answers, make sure that they can't trip you up on anything.
00:37:39.260But they did not rule out the possibility of speaking to Mueller.
00:37:42.400The people said, and this is three people familiar with the talk, adding that Giuliani pressed Mueller for clarity on when the probe is expected to end.
00:37:51.260In response, Mueller reiterated, he would like a chance to ask Trump questions about steps he took during the transition and early months of his administration.
00:38:00.460The special counsel emphasized, as he did in conversation, conversations in March with Trump's team, that an interview is essential for investigators to understand Trump's intent in making key decisions as they seek to wrap up the portion of the probe focused on potential obstruction of justice.
00:38:23.780They're going to spin whatever he says.
00:38:25.720Trump's lawyers do it in writing and should write down something that says, I fired James Comey because of his handling of Hillary Clinton case after conferring with Bob Rosenstein, Jeff Sessions, other counsel,
00:38:41.940who all advised me that he mishandled the probe and that it was not under the purview of the FBI director to decide whether or not a case goes to the Justice Department.
00:38:52.120And if James Comey felt that Loretta Lynch was unable to do her job ethically and with integrity, with honesty, he should have gone to Congress or the inspector general or something to that effect.
00:39:04.040Because they want to get Trump in there because they know Trump likes to speak colloquially.
00:39:08.180And he might say something that New Yorkism means one thing, but to Robert Mueller, in legalese means another.
00:39:17.540Now, the people involved, of course, these are anonymous sources.
00:39:22.540And it says, the face-to-face discussions illustrate how Giuliani is functioning as Trump's chief liaison and lead negotiator with the special counsel, which I think is wise.
