Rebel News Podcast - Should police bow down to anyone？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today, I take you through the crazy footage of the weekend.

00:00:04.080 Riots bowing down to rioters, defunding police. We got it all. Just incredible.

00:00:11.320 You know, there's some really good clips. I invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber

00:00:17.120 because that gives you the video version of this podcast. I just want to show you some of the

00:00:21.320 there's a struggle session where the mayor of Minneapolis bends the knee to Black Lives Matter,

00:00:27.340 but it's not enough. And it's such a powerful, powerful video. Please consider becoming a

00:00:31.720 Rebel News Plus subscriber. It's eight bucks a month or 80 bucks a year. And you get all the videos

00:00:38.280 of these podcasts and you get videos from Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies too. All right,

00:00:43.940 here's today's show.

00:00:57.340 Tonight, do you think police should physically bow down to anyone? It's June 8th and this is the

00:01:05.600 Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:08.600 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:12.360 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:16.420 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:21.000 bloody right to do so. Did you see this image the other day? It's from Toronto. It's Toronto's

00:01:31.380 black police chief, Mark Saunders, bending the knee, submitting at a Black Lives Matter protest

00:01:38.300 and there are white activists holding their fists up. White activists making the black power

00:01:45.180 fist salute. So a successful black man, the man in charge of policing for Canada's biggest city,

00:01:52.600 Canada's blackest city, he's being shamed and degraded by, amongst others, some white leftists

00:02:00.320 and he's doing it. He's actually doing it. Well, that's nothing. Saunders was at least upright.

00:02:07.960 But look at this guy. He's the police chief of the second largest city in all of New England

00:02:12.920 called Worcester. His face is on the ground. His hands are behind his back. What on earth is he

00:02:20.080 doing? What would make him do that? And for what? How do you feel about a policeman doing that?

00:02:25.540 What compelled him to do that? Whatever it was, would it stop him from enforcing the law of that

00:02:30.560 same power? Would it make him act less than neutrally? He's wearing the uniform of the city. He's a

00:02:36.280 representative of the city. This isn't him doing something weird in his private life. He's a symbol of

00:02:41.140 the city. He's a symbol of the city's authority. So he's not just denigrating and belittling

00:02:47.160 himself. He's denigrating and belittling everything he's a part of. The city, its police force, its

00:02:53.340 election officials who oversee the police, the people of Worcester who rely on him to impartially

00:02:58.520 uphold the law and protect them, the law itself. Have you in your entire life ever seen anyone just

00:03:05.840 lie down, face down like that, who wasn't bowing down to God? I've seen deep bowing from religious 0.67

00:03:14.340 people of various stripes when they're talking to their gods. I've seen Muslims, Jews, Christians, each

00:03:20.640 in their own way and their own manner bow, but nothing like this. And to whom? And for what? Who's he

00:03:28.120 bound to? It looks like what Mao Zedong called a struggle session during the Cultural Revolution in

00:03:34.180 China. Millions murdered, but that wasn't the salient feature. It was the denunciation, the 0.98

00:03:39.420 self-denunciation that really told the tale. Look at this. Someone, a capitalist, a professor with the

00:03:46.260 wrong ideas, a personal rival of some communist local boss, wearing a huge dunce cap with his crimes

00:03:52.680 written on them. He's covered in blood. He's obviously been beaten. He's being jeered and denounced

00:03:57.880 by the mob. And here's a man who, in a show trial, just wouldn't go along with it. He refused to

00:04:06.300 take a knee, so to speak. He kept professing his innocence at a communist show trial, so they literally

00:04:11.900 stuffed a cloth in his mouth to shut him up. These are from a staggering book called Red China News

00:04:18.200 Soldier. A photo was taken by a Chinese army photographer in the 60s at the mass purge of anyone,

00:04:24.000 everyone for wrong think in China. Why, that girl looks a little bit like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 1.00

00:04:30.520 with a Greta Thunberg scowl. Oh, by the way, you can denounce yourself to save your life, but

00:04:37.180 you will not be forgiven. You will not spare yourself anything more than maybe just your life itself.

00:04:42.580 Do you want to see a struggle session in color TV, not just black and white? Look at this. First,

00:04:48.000 a reminder of who we're dealing with. This young hipster, Jacob Fry, who bears a resemblance to

00:04:52.660 Justin Trudeau. He's the mayor of Minneapolis, where the riots began. Here he is responding to

00:04:57.000 Donald Trump's obvious and accurate tweet that night that Fry is weak. Of course he's weak. He's

00:05:03.220 the one who ordered the police to surrender, including to surrender their police station.

00:05:06.700 Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions. Weakness is pointing your finger

00:05:14.300 at somebody else during a time of crisis. Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis.

00:05:21.760 We are strong as hell. Is this a difficult time period? Yes. But you better be damn sure that

00:05:28.180 we're going to get through this. The danger became necessary, and I made the decision to evacuate the

00:05:36.600 dirt precinct. Yeah, so pretty much doing whatever the rioting mob wanted him to do. This is Fry trying

00:05:43.100 to act cool and hip, sort of like Trudeau in a way. He's dancing here with Black Lives Matter activists,

00:05:47.100 I think. I think that's who those are. So he's showing that he really gets black people. You might

00:05:51.940 think that's condescending. You might think that black people have similar concerns to white people

00:05:55.820 and brown people and red people and green people, and that simply dancing with them for five minutes

00:06:00.420 is not a substitute to a grown-up conversation. But you would be forgetting that our own prime minister

00:06:05.460 is precisely the same way. Here's Jacob Fry crying at George Floyd's funeral. Gee, I wonder if he knows

00:06:12.980 he's on camera. Have you cried that way for anyone other than perhaps your own mother or father

00:06:17.820 or spouse or perhaps, God forbid, a child? If you express this emotion for a stranger who was in

00:06:24.560 fact a criminal himself, though he surely didn't deserve to be killed, you're false by definition.

00:06:30.040 You cannot care this much about a stranger. You cannot. And if you do, your feelings are worthless

00:06:33.880 and fake, and nothing you say or do can ever be taken at face value again. Again, I think he and

00:06:39.540 Trudeau went to the same drama class. Oh, and here's Trudeau taking a knee.

00:06:45.500 He's been hiding in his house for two months, won't go to work, won't go to Parliament, won't

00:06:49.400 have a proper press conference or question period, says it's because of the pandemic, social distancing,

00:06:54.000 all that. But there he is, and he always knows where the camera is, doesn't he? And he always waits

00:06:58.600 for it, and then he takes a knee. What exactly is Trudeau taking a knee for? Is it to stand up to Trump,

00:07:04.320 as the shouters there said? Or is it something in Canada he's apologizing for? If so, what is he

00:07:10.000 apologizing for? And what does it mean? He's been prime minister for five years. All I can think of

00:07:14.220 that he's done on race relations is call a lot of people racist all the time. He spent a lot of

00:07:19.380 money on the missing and murdered indigenous women's report, but that's just money going to

00:07:23.440 lawyers and lobbies. He didn't actually do anything. He wore blackface so many times he couldn't remember 0.88

00:07:28.900 how many. Oh, and he fired Canada's first indigenous justice minister, that too. So what exactly is he

00:07:34.980 taking a knee for other than doing whatever the mob tells them to do, just like the media is doing

00:07:39.320 whatever the mob tells them to do? There haven't been riots in Canada, thank God. There was some

00:07:44.700 looting in Montreal the other day, but I think most Canadians are pretty happy with how we get along

00:07:48.420 with each other. Sure, there are some anti-Trump crackpots, but I just don't think that they've been

00:07:53.600 weaponized in Canada yet. Not sure why. Maybe Trudeau would worry that could actually cost him

00:07:58.260 re-election. I doubt it. Have you seen any conservative politicians speak out strongly

00:08:02.260 against these riots and looting? Yeah, me neither. In fact, all I've seen in Stockwell Day get fired

00:08:08.200 from the CBC and various lobbying jobs because he was insufficiently reverential towards Black Lives

00:08:14.480 Matter. And they're trying to fire Rex Murphy from the National Post too. So yeah, Trudeau doesn't

00:08:19.540 have to worry about any law and order or racial equality candidate on the right, does he? There are none.

00:08:25.460 But here's how it's going for Jacob Fry down in Minneapolis, the one who ordered the police to

00:08:31.460 surrender and abandon the post, the one who does the awkward dancing. He was summoned to a struggle

00:08:36.220 session and he was asked, get this, if he would abolish the police. I'm serious, I'm deadly serious.

00:08:41.940 And he's crazy, this Jacob Fry, but he's only about 90% crazy. He's not 100% crazy. And so watch this.

00:08:49.380 My own shortcomings, and I know there needs to be deep-seated structural report in terms of how the

00:08:57.140 department operates. A systemically racist system needs to be revamped. The police union needs to be put

00:09:07.900 in its place. We need to make sure that everything from the union contract to the way that the

00:09:13.900 arbitration functions can be made. You have to pay!

00:09:17.900 You have to pay!

00:09:19.900 Jacob Fry, we have a yes or no question for you.

00:09:23.900 Yes or no! Yes or no! Yes or no!

00:09:28.900 Yes or no! Yes or no! Yes or no! Fist up!

00:09:31.900 Yes or no! Fist up! Fist up!

00:09:32.900 Fist up!

00:09:34.900 Jacob Fry, we have a yes or no question for you.

00:09:37.900 Yes or no, will you commit to defunding Minneapolis Police Department?

00:09:43.900 Yes or no!

00:09:45.900 What did I say?

00:09:46.900 Yes or no!

00:09:48.900 We don't want no more police!

00:09:49.900 In fact, we don't want people with guns,

00:09:53.900 toting around in our community, shooting us down.

00:09:57.000 We have a yes or a no.

00:10:00.000 There is a yes or a no.

00:10:02.900 Will you defund the Minneapolis Police Department?

00:10:07.900 All right, be quiet, y'all.

00:10:09.900 Be quiet, because it's important that we actually hear this.

00:10:13.900 It's important that we hear this, because if y'all don't know,

00:10:15.900 he's up for reelection next year.

00:10:19.900 And if he says no, guess what the fuck we going to do next year?

00:10:49.900 Let's go home, go home Jacob! Go home!

00:10:59.900 Go home Jacob, go home! Go home Jacob, go home!

00:11:03.900 that's a struggle session not sure if you heard him he he said he wasn't for the

00:11:32.800 total abolition of the police just cutting it down to size and humiliating it that wasn't enough

00:11:38.120 though go home jacob go home well the rest of minneapolis the city council saw that and they

00:11:43.480 didn't need to be asked twice they didn't need to step under the guillotine so um here's the story

00:11:50.740 in the new york times majority of the minneapolis city council pledges to dismantle the police

00:11:55.760 department nine members a veto-proof majority of the minneapolis city council pledged on sunday

00:12:01.060 to dismantle the city's police department promising to create a new system of public safety

00:12:05.640 in a city where law enforcement has long been accused of racism saying that the city's current

00:12:10.320 policing system could not be reformed the council members stood before hundreds of people who

00:12:14.280 gathered late in the day on a grassy hill and signed a pledge to begin the process of taking apart the

00:12:19.380 police department as it now exists so that's how lawmaking goes in burnt out riot stricken

00:12:26.020 minneapolis once a jewel of the midwest just mobs on the street abolishing police yeah that'll work

00:12:32.100 rich liberals like the idea because they live in white suburbs or live in gated communities or if

00:12:38.740 they're in new york they have a doorman in their apartment they don't live in the ghetto i mean if

00:12:43.160 you were a cop and you received a 9-1-1 call in a rough part of minneapolis today would you really go

00:12:49.000 in to help knowing that you'd probably be videotaped and screamed at at the very least and possibly

00:12:55.480 assaulted even murdered here's a black retired cop david doorn who was murdered in the riots in st louis

00:13:02.520 by a black looter as it so happens would you go in and and uh and answer a 9-1-1 call if it's dangerous 0.66

00:13:11.160 why here's new york's bill de blasio announcing a cut in new york's police budget to punish the police he's

00:13:18.760 going to give the money to social workers and youth workers instead so that's who you call i guess

00:13:23.020 if you have a bank robbery or a mugging call a social worker 300 nypd cops were injured in the

00:13:29.140 riots would you keep working for de blasio in the uk they had massive protests over the weekend too

00:13:34.320 which is odd in the entire united kingdom last year a country more than 65 million people

00:13:38.940 there were a total of two unarmed black men who were killed at the hands of police and one of them

00:13:44.060 was a terrorist so so that's not good but that's not a crisis in fact if there is a racial crisis

00:13:50.560 it's that pakistani muslim men commit more than 80 percent of the child rapes against indigenous white 0.81

00:13:56.540 girls thousands and thousands of them not really a black lives matter situation more of a white 0.73

00:14:02.120 girls lives matter situation but no protest for them but big protest for george floyd in the uk

00:14:08.300 or was it floyd george they don't really know they just know they want to riot for black rights they

00:14:14.700 say against fascism they say you know right outside britain's parliament uh is a big square there's a

00:14:21.620 statue of abraham lincoln the great emancipator the u.s president who freed the slaves who put america

00:14:27.580 into the bloodiest war of its history over the slavery issue and they defaced his statue

00:14:34.060 and who actually defeated fascism actually defeated literally hitler well it was winston

00:14:40.220 churchill and look at how his statue was desecrated and listen to the police

00:14:44.220 he's got officers look he's got fans and fans though we haven't strictly in the whole time

00:14:49.180 i'm sorry no don't tell us right we haven't seen him do it all right you know we haven't

00:14:55.160 it's disgusting it's been dead it's been put over so why aren't you lot guarding it now

00:15:00.760 we have got officers here shall i get all the football lads to be right now

00:15:04.960 that's not a good idea that's not what we want you to do well i will

00:15:09.640 wait boys start guarding that good boys around that and guard that

00:15:15.060 fucking that's disgusting

00:15:16.920 so what's this about this isn't about black rights it's not about anti-fascism

00:15:22.940 it's about terrorism that's what political violence is and there are different ways to

00:15:27.560 react to terrorism the way of the coward is to bend the knee to submit to surrender like jacob fry

00:15:32.580 bow down low to the mob of course it's never low enough it's not enough they take what you give

00:15:37.140 for free and then that's the new front line that's a new starting point you can hide and hope it

00:15:41.940 doesn't happen to you that's a rational approach move out of minneapolis i mean seriously if you can

00:15:47.180 poor black people won't be able to leave of course but others will 1.00

00:15:50.780 move to somewhere else not just to live but businesses too

00:15:54.700 you said black lives matter 1.00

00:15:58.420 why don't you say that i've worked here hard time plus i'm a part owner of this store

00:16:05.380 you said black lives matter why don't you choke me i'm black 0.99

00:16:10.980 tell him look what you did to my store

00:16:12.980 tell him sister look look what you did to my store 1.00

00:16:16.980 tell him sister that's why because i got they back these are my dudes right here

00:16:21.140 good names you've done good names look for black lives matter we've been here all night cleaning up 0.99

00:16:28.100 all night cleaning because you got black people standing right here with them 1.00

00:16:32.340 tell me black lives matter you lied you wanted to loot at a store 1.00

00:16:40.100 you needed money get a job like i do

00:16:44.180 why would you invest your life savings in a small corner shop

00:16:47.620 when it'll get looted or burnt one day why bother

00:16:51.300 but let me leave you with some good news i'm serious i have some good news

00:16:54.340 and it's in the form of a large public opinion poll that's ordinary americans

00:16:58.260 not the media not politicians not people on twitter ordinary americans

00:17:02.260 what they think the response to these riots should be it asked blacks and whites

00:17:05.860 republicans and democrats and let me tell you

00:17:08.420 what they said and this was a week old so this was a week ago

00:17:11.540 before this weekend's insanity of defunding or abolishing police

00:17:16.260 sample size over 1600 reputable pollster called morning consult

00:17:21.380 look at this question would you support or oppose

00:17:24.820 cities taking the following measures to address protests and demonstrations

00:17:28.980 in dozens of u.s cities in response to the death of george floyd

00:17:33.540 calling in the national guard to supplement city police forces

00:17:36.740 now you'll notice they didn't use the words looting or riots just protests

00:17:39.940 but still 42 of americans strongly support the national guard

00:17:45.300 another 29 somewhat supported that's 71 71 look at this african americans

00:17:51.940 42 support 63 of hillary clinton voters 65 of those who voted democrat in the

00:17:59.460 2018 midterm elections people want not just police they want the national guard

00:18:04.740 and i say again the question didn't even have the word riot or loot in it

00:18:08.980 americans don't want defunding of police they want safety and security they want an end to

00:18:13.940 this madness the struggle sessions the cowardice the madness of the french revolution and its guillotines

00:18:20.900 here's another one calling in the u.s military to supplement city police that's pretty pretty heavy

00:18:28.260 duty 58 of americans actually support bringing in the full-out military not just the national guard but the

00:18:33.940 actual army navy air force marines including 37 of african americans yeah don't believe the media

00:18:40.500 don't believe the drama teachers jacob fry and justin trudeau don't bow down to anyone other than

00:18:46.020 your god and if you're a canadian monarchist bow to the queen as our head of state but don't

00:18:51.300 battle them all never never ever stay with us for more

00:19:08.260 well the riot started in minneapolis minnesota a place that i always thought was pretty friendly it

00:19:15.540 reminded me of an american version of friendly manitoba it's not too far away from winnipeg

00:19:22.340 actually well what went wrong in that city and i was reminded that minneapolis minnesota that is where

00:19:29.220 ilhan omar is from and then i started to think well hang on like so many of these riot zones looting

00:19:36.260 zones places where racism is in the air they say haven't they all been run by democrats for decades

00:19:45.140 or even generations look at all the cities racked by riots from washington dc to chicago to la to

00:19:52.900 manhattan minneapolis detroit even in the past they're all democrat cities so who exactly are they

00:20:00.180 blaming well joining us now to talk about all these things including ilhan omar

00:20:04.020 is our friend ben weingarten who wrote the book american ingrate the best biography out there about

00:20:12.100 ilhan omar been great to see again welcome back to the show thanks so much for having me ezra i want

00:20:17.940 to start with a crazy question and i just you're the only person who i trust to answer it i had a

00:20:25.860 shocking uh wave crash over me when i saw jacob fry the hapless mayor of minneapolis

00:20:34.020 basically combust when he went down to the struggle session in the streets and he couldn't go a hundred

00:20:39.780 percent of the way to crazy and say yes i'll abolish the police and they shouted shame shame go home jacob

00:20:45.700 go home that was an incredible moment and i thought who's going to be the next next mayor and i thought

00:20:52.980 i wonder if ilhan omar will be the next mayor of minneapolis what do you think

00:20:56.820 huh that that's that's an interesting question i think if i'm looking at this from a purely

00:21:03.460 political perspective it just so happens that keith ellison the attorney general who had previously

00:21:10.020 served in ilhan omar's seat in congress his son serves on the minneapolis city council his son is

00:21:17.700 one of those who actually tweeted in support of antifa before it was designated as a terrorist organization

00:21:23.460 and who was of course a supporter of this effort to defund and actually disband the police in

00:21:30.580 minneapolis so i suspect that keith ellison's son is probably more woke than ilhan omar and maybe he's

00:21:36.340 the man for this moment in minneapolis but i have to say i was so struck by that scene of the mayor

00:21:43.220 prostrating himself even he couldn't get extreme enough for the mob and i think what you're seeing

00:21:50.740 is essentially a marxian mob eating its own the progressives have been in control of cities like

00:21:56.900 minneapolis for decades and it's still not progressive enough for them and so even someone

00:22:03.860 like jacob fry who comes off as so earnest and wanting to express how sorrowful he is and trying to

00:22:12.180 meet the demands of the mob even he learned the lesson that you can never concede enough to the mob

00:22:18.100 they want it all they want total power and so it's a lesson for those who think of themselves

00:22:24.260 as liberals or progressives that you'll never get radical enough for the mob but i don't think

00:22:28.900 many of them will take that lesson to heart yeah it's incredible um i thought that this defund police

00:22:34.820 or abolish police was just a shock and awe statement uh uh conversation starter but it looks like

00:22:43.380 at least in some ways they're serious about now i see that same idea has spread here to toronto

00:22:51.060 where we have a city councilor for one of the wealthier neighborhoods uh where people pay a lot

00:22:55.940 of taxes and they have a lot of um valuable houses they wouldn't want torched he's talking about trimming

00:23:02.020 back toronto's police even though we haven't had anywhere near the the problems they've had in various

00:23:08.020 american cities i are can these people be serious about de-policing i've seen so many comments about

00:23:14.020 turning uh minneapolis into mogadishu somalia um it's almost too ridiculous to be true but aren't we

00:23:21.940 moving towards anarchy if we actually disband police forces well it's actually amazing on that last point

00:23:28.020 there was an article in the new york times profiling several somali americans some of whom lived in

00:23:33.300 minneapolis saying that they didn't think minneapolis could actually turn out like mogadishu but it

00:23:39.380 actually has and again you have to ask the question how did that happen when you had these progressives

00:23:44.260 running minneapolis for all of these many decades i think that the notion of disbanding police i'm glad

00:23:51.540 actually that the radical marxist revolutionaries who are really behind this sort of view i'm glad they're

00:23:58.020 on record because they're exposing themselves for who they really are and look if you follow their line

00:24:03.140 of thinking and you accept the proposition that criminals are essentially the core victims and

00:24:10.820 their victimizers the police are really the criminals then of course you have to disband police departments

00:24:17.780 by the way it flows from the same viewpoint as the notion of abolish ice they want to abolish all

00:24:25.060 authorities essentially that maintain law and order at least as traditionally understood so they can impose

00:24:32.020 their own law on anyone who dares dissent from their prevailing orthodoxy and one of the things that's really ironic in

00:24:40.020 this i would say is that if we were to accept that systemic racism were policies and practices that ultimately led to

00:24:49.860 disproportionate victimization of people of color the idea of defunding police departments or getting rid of police in

00:24:58.020 particular from the highest crime areas of cities with large members of minorities well you are going 1.00

00:25:05.700 to disproportionately victimize people of color so i have to have to ask what is systemically racist i think

00:25:11.380 this policy is systemically racist yeah well i mean i think that i mean ann coulter uh who is very

00:25:19.460 aggressive on these subjects she tweeted there's going to be a white flight from these cities in a way we

00:25:24.900 haven't seen in decades and i think not just white flight but any black people of means will want to 0.67

00:25:31.620 get the heck out of these neighborhoods that are being de-policed and basically thrown to the wolves

00:25:37.220 of anarchy i um joel pollack who i respect very much has said that he believes this will set back not only

00:25:45.860 the economic prosperity of many black american cities by decades but i also think it'll set back race 1.00

00:25:52.900 relations because it has so branded riding and looting as a black thing and not necessarily

00:25:59.780 because it's black people doing it but it's called a black lives matter protest it's in the name of

00:26:06.900 george floyd so i i don't know i think this is the worst of all outcomes for african americans that how

00:26:12.660 that's how it looks like from up here in canada i don't know what it looks like in the states

00:26:16.100 i i wholeheartedly agree and my heart in particular goes out to all the people who are law abiding that

00:26:24.660 are caught up in this many of whom have been locked down for weeks some of whom have seen loved ones

00:26:31.540 perish without being able to say goodbye in person on the on the contrary on the other hand you have

00:26:38.500 people who are the most lawless in society destroying businesses that have sat idle for weeks some of which

00:26:45.060 have gone under and they get to act with total impunity and there have been some great profiles

00:26:50.740 out there in a few different publications speaking with people who own this is in any of these areas

00:26:57.220 that have been destroyed essentially by the mob by rioters and looters and it's just heartbreaking

00:27:03.140 because you see people who pursued the american dream did everything right and then law enforcement

00:27:08.260 basically was forced to stand down or maybe in some cases stood down to own accord understandably

00:27:14.740 given the circumstances but nevertheless in contravention of the fundamental principle of

00:27:19.860 law and order and the fact that you need to have protection of life liberty and property if you're

00:27:25.780 going to have a functioning society it's really the basis of the american system absolutely those who

00:27:32.020 are going to be most hurt are the law abiding people who live in the areas that are going to be

00:27:35.540 hollowed out destroyed and left defenseless and by the way of course many of the american cities

00:27:40.820 with the greatest crime problems also have the harshest strictures on gun ownership so not only

00:27:47.060 are you going to have less policing or maybe no policing in certain cities but then if you're living

00:27:53.140 in a high crime neighborhood and you can't afford to get out of it you're not going to be able to defend

00:27:57.220 yourself from the uh from the lawless anarchy that you described so it's absolutely disastrous and it's

00:28:06.260 just it it it really puts civilization into question itself if you don't have law and order and people

00:28:12.420 aren't able to defend themselves and then you're going to victimize the people that if you're on the left

00:28:17.700 you claim to care about most you claim to care about those who are living in the poorest neighborhoods

00:28:23.700 in high crime neighborhoods and the like you really are proving that you don't believe at all in your

00:28:29.380 principles you just believe in the revolution at the end of the day i saw pardon me i saw a poll last

00:28:34.820 week uh sample size about 1600 morning calls consult i think was the polling company that showed 71 of

00:28:43.060 americans supported the national car guard being deployed in support of local police now this was a week

00:28:51.060 ago and things have gotten i think worse in the last week um including a majority of democrats and a

00:28:57.140 large number of african americans i find this hopeful because it suggests that the uh anarchy lawless mania

00:29:07.140 has not uh infected to use the word everybody and i think those numbers are probably tougher now

00:29:14.580 instead of tacking back towards the rule of law this move further down the road to defund

00:29:20.900 and abolish police sounds nuts politically but who knows maybe it'll pay off look at this interview

00:29:27.940 here's a clip from cnn where a city councilor in minneapolis says yeah we absolutely do mean it when

00:29:35.140 we say remove policing because the idea of police being available on 9-1-1 to make you feel secure

00:29:40.660 that's white privilege and we all have to imagine what it's like to be terrified take a look at this

00:29:47.140 do you understand that the word dismantle or police free also makes some people nervous for instance

00:29:54.180 what if in the middle of the night my home is broken into who do i call

00:30:00.740 yes i mean i i hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors and i know and myself too and i know

00:30:07.140 that that comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working i think

00:30:13.380 we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where

00:30:19.060 calling the police may mean more harm is done that's lisa bender the top city councilor in 1.00

00:30:25.860 minneapolis it looks like they have a veto-proof majority she's saying that that feeling of security

00:30:31.860 that we have that the police are out there they're on our side they're a 911 call away that's white 0.99

00:30:36.260 privilege and we should imagine what it's like without that but she doesn't want to just imagine she 0.99

00:30:40.660 wants to go there ben she wants to make us all insecure this is some sort of racial rebalancing 0.53

00:30:46.420 or something she is effectively saying that prioritizes politically correct principles

00:30:55.220 over preservation in other words she's idle and if that is really the way that she feels

00:31:00.980 then i suggest that she move to the highest crime neighborhood in minneapolis after there are no 0.99

00:31:05.940 police not to hire any private security force not have a firearm to defend herself and then

00:31:11.700 let's see if she still really clings to that perspective and i think that particular line

00:31:16.980 of argumentation is something that really has to be posed all the people who are on the side of

00:31:22.100 reduce policing is okay if that's what you believe then you move to a neighborhood that doesn't have

00:31:26.660 police and you leave yourself defenseless and then let's see how you feel about it yeah it's crazy now

00:31:32.180 there are some people crazy enough to do that we've all heard these anecdotal stories of you know

00:31:37.220 someone who uh you know women who want a bicycle or hitchhike around the world including the most 0.65

00:31:41.700 dangerous parts of you know the stands to prove that it's safe and then they god forbid they get

00:31:48.020 attacked killed raped um there are some people who are so naive and reckless that they wind up killing

00:31:56.260 themselves but this woman wants to do it to the whole city a great mighty city of minneapolis it's 1.00

00:32:03.140 possible though i mean detroit used to be the motor city used to have the highest wage in america it was

00:32:10.100 the jobs magnet the factory magnet and now it's a it's a burnt out husk i think they are destroying a

00:32:16.980 great city in real time it makes me extremely sad but how can anything come back from this i don't see it

00:32:23.300 it yeah bad ideas have bad consequences and i see it in new york i grew up in the new york area i've

00:32:32.580 lived in new york for over a decade since being in college and graduating from college and what i can

00:32:39.540 say is that new york didn't become this bastion of security and prosperity by magic it was a disaster of

00:32:47.700 a city in the 60s 70s and even 80s and it had to be cleaned up during the 90s precisely because there

00:32:53.860 was for example broken windows policing where the police department did not let minor infractions

00:33:01.860 go unnoticed and corrected them immediately and those policies and many other policies as well led

00:33:07.620 new york to become i believe the safest big city in america certainly and probably one of the safest in

00:33:13.860 the world and we're seeing in new york right now that we are heading in a regressive direction

00:33:19.620 under the banner of progressivism under what i like to call who i like to call mayor de cameo but mayor

00:33:26.020 de blasio and what you're going to see is as the police even if there is no defunding or disbanding of

00:33:33.140 police and many of these cities have pledged to at a minimum defund including new york city regardless

00:33:39.300 police are absolutely going to back off relative to the way they were policing before consequently

00:33:45.060 you're going to see a rise in crime as you noted you're going to see anyone with means that wants

00:33:50.180 to be secure and can't hire a private security force or hold a gun themselves get out of the city which

00:33:55.940 is going to further erode the tax base of the city and lead the worst neighborhoods to crumble even

00:34:02.260 further so again it's the law-abiding citizens many of them defenseless who are going to be most hurt by

00:34:09.140 this and i think you're going to see it around the country if this trend continues and consequently

00:34:14.900 you're going to see ironically even greater so-called inequality in this case of outcomes in that the

00:34:20.900 suburbs to which people who can afford it will flee will have their own private security if they need

00:34:26.580 it and probably be policed just fine regardless and the highest crime neighborhoods will descend into

00:34:32.020 further violence chaos and antisocial behavior so it's really a disaster and again proves the hypocrisy

00:34:38.180 and the irony really of these people who claim to care about justice who are going to in effect lead

00:34:43.620 to the perpetration of even further injustice against the people again who they claim to most care

00:34:48.500 about yeah you know i i know a few years ago when there were the black lives matter riots under obama

00:34:53.460 those cities that came down the hardest on their own police that indicated they don't like the police

00:34:59.220 well the police well the police listened and what policeman would risk going into a dangerous

00:35:05.140 neighborhood in a dangerous situation where at best he would be shouted at and filmed on videotape

00:35:13.060 for any real or perceived moment of indiscretion and at worst he would get in in physical danger

00:35:20.660 why even bother and and i think i mean you saw a crime boom because the cops said oh they don't

00:35:28.340 want us fine feelings mutual and it and you can't even blame a cop when there's when the entire chain

00:35:34.500 of command from the top down is anti-cop i'm surprised that there is still police working in minneapolis

00:35:42.260 giving how how defamatory their own city council is towards them i don't know i find it deeply sad and the

00:35:50.020 thing is this this vicious cycle you've described it only strengthens the hand of the ilhan omars

00:35:56.180 and and the radicals like her that's what's sad about it the worse it gets the better for an ilhan omar

00:36:03.940 it's absolutely right and this is the world that she and her ilk want us to live in at the end of the

00:36:10.580 day and there and this is why i wrote that book american ingrate ilhan omar and the progressive islamist

00:36:15.380 takeover of the democratic party because it's leading democrats it is the woke executives in

00:36:22.420 hundreds of leading corporations in the country who are at minimum standing by and at least cheering on

00:36:29.300 in part what we're seeing in the streets today and in some cases are going much further than that so when

00:36:35.700 you have kind of the elite cadre of society pushing down and seeking to impose this on us it is ultimately

00:36:42.580 going to lead to calamity i am hardened like you are by uh the polls that show that this is really

00:36:48.260 kind of out of line with where the american people broadly are and i think it illustrates

00:36:52.580 this chasm that we've seen play itself out in any number of policy contexts in recent years of the of

00:36:59.460 the fact that what the elite believe is to be mainstream is actually radical and what they believe

00:37:06.580 is radical is actually mainstream among uh broad cross sections of society but again i i wholeheartedly

00:37:14.100 agree with you and we've really taken for granted in particular in america the fact that over the last

00:37:19.540 three or four decades violent crime has dramatically fallen and again that that didn't happen by magic

00:37:25.140 that happened as a result of conscious policies that really did result in positive results in terms of

00:37:31.140 more peace and more prosperity on our streets and i think we're seeing in real time the reversal of

00:37:35.620 that with disastrous consequences for millions of americans of all colors and creeds well i tell you

00:37:42.180 we're five months away from the presidential elections i can't think of higher stakes than we're in ben

00:37:47.780 weingartner the federalist great to see you again once again let me mention ben's book the best book on

00:37:53.060 ilhan omar rather prophetic and a great title i just can't get over that sums her up so perfectly american

00:37:59.620 ingrate and you can get that at the amazon link under this video ben great to see you thanks for your time

00:38:06.900 thanks so much for having me all right there you have it go ahead and pick up that book

00:38:10.500 at amazon.ca stay with us more ahead

00:38:21.860 hey welcome back on my monologue friday about racists getting mad at rex murphy for saying canada

00:38:26.260 isn't racist john writes perhaps van malis supermanium would like to debate rex live now

00:38:32.340 that's something i'd love to see yeah me too i i don't think van malis would be up for it really

00:38:37.620 billy writes i hope the leftist media banishes rex and he comes to rebel news he'll always have a

00:38:41.860 voice with those who believe in freedom of speech and thought yeah i wonder how long national post will

00:38:48.340 keep them uh i hope they do but um boy there's a mob out there on my interview with tarifata paul writes

00:38:56.740 great to hear from tarik i have had to take action on the hair front as well would far rather deal with

00:39:02.580 india than communist china me too it was so good to see him i just knew he needed a haircut he sort of

00:39:08.180 always does and so he came back we had a good chat well my friends that's the show for today until

00:39:13.780 tomorrow on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters to you at home good night and keep
