00:04:26.880If a 300-pound man is beating me, like, on top of me and beating me down, I'm not limited to fist.
00:04:37.980You know, I would argue that even the only time we go into things like people's hands being considered deadly weapons is typically, like, if they're a professional boxer or that kind of stuff.
00:04:48.720But I think by the time you start getting to, like, football player.
00:05:18.700Well, my first reaction to all of this is I'm going to miss Jasmine Crockett.
00:05:22.640She lost a United States Senate primary, and this will not be returning to Washington, D.C., and she has brought a level of candor where every thought that is in that brain that has, like, one brain cell playing freeze tag makes its way out of her mouth, and we all were able to consume that and enjoy it, and we will be less entertained, no doubt, without her presence there.
00:05:47.660But what I find interesting here is the discussion around the stand your ground law and how that might interplay with these facts or other facts.
00:05:56.960You know, the stand your ground law is something a lot of states have.
00:05:59.620Florida has the stand your ground law.
00:06:01.420And if you are where you are entitled to be and someone is intending to commit a forcible felony against you, you have the right to use deadly force.
00:06:12.380Now, here, in this case, the stand-your-ground law is not an appropriate defense because you have Carmelo Anthony not where he's supposed to be.
00:07:36.940But that's my point. Because they weren't black, the media went with the narrative of they're all white.0.84
00:07:42.000But they weren't all white. This was essentially made into a racial issue.
00:07:46.040They were hoping that this case, they knew he would be convicted.
00:07:48.660The facts were as clear as day. They were hoping to make this the summer of love, 2026.
00:07:54.040I don't think it's actually going to catch fire like they're hoping to.
00:07:56.260But George Soros has a few days to get some signs printed.
00:07:59.760Maybe he was surprised with how rapidly the jury came with a verdict.
00:08:03.000Do you know in this trial – have you heard this? The defense attorney argued that the – God, what's the kid's name? I'm sorry, the victim.
00:09:02.700he looks like a child like how can that possibly be reasonable of course they were dismissed but
00:09:07.520but the thing is and i've had uh you know a lot of people on my show talking about this angle
00:09:14.020black people all kinds of people and nobody thinks this is a racial issue so the fact that this even
00:09:19.580the defense attorney admitted it wasn't a racial issue so the fact that this is a racial issue is
00:09:24.280completely just fabricated it it wasn't like one he stabbed one kid stabbed the other because of
00:09:30.240their race it was just a kid had a knife and he didn't like that he was being told to leave and0.75
00:09:34.200he stabbed the dude and killed him it's oh if it was a white kid a black kid two Hispanic kids
00:09:38.240kids from Mars it didn't there wasn't a racial case but yet the media went out of its way to
00:09:43.040make it a racial case which just shows you how dishonest they are and how motivated they are
00:09:46.600to destroy this country leading up to 2026. I mean the the the blacks outside the court1.00
00:09:52.780that were just on the verge of rioting the things that they were screaming one lady0.97
00:09:57.100screamed at a black police officer who was outside the court. She screamed at him and said,0.94
00:10:02.500how can you support this? They went after one of your own. You know, you're black. How can you
00:10:07.080tolerate this? Like, this is a completely, for them, you know, it's because he was black is the1.00
00:10:12.860only reason they're defending him. You know, these people are just ignorant, retarded racists,1.00
00:10:18.020and they're coming after this case just because he's black. That's it. That's the only reason.1.00
00:10:22.800And you can't – I mean, look at that guy.
00:10:24.220You can't go out there and have a reasonable, rational debate with these people.
00:10:27.780Well, yes, but those – but the people you're seeing in this video on screen is of – look how – there's only like maybe 30 or 40 people.0.89
00:10:35.580You've got to think, and I believe after 2020 – I think actually after 2016, 2020, 2024, I think the black community by and large, not the people represented in this video, I think they have come home to the Republican Party.
00:10:50.180I think no longer is the black community wanting to be manipulated by the radical left and drawn into these things.
00:10:56.440And I think the proof is in the pudding with respect to the fact that you don't see riots happening.
00:11:00.680And people, the black community is not saying this is an example of historical grievances.0.72
00:11:06.380It's just these small groups of people that are being egged on to do this stuff.
00:11:11.380And I think the left has really overplayed their hand yet again like they've done in California.
00:11:15.640And I'm sure we'll talk about that too.
00:11:16.140But, I mean, if you look at the last election, that doesn't hold up because blacks overwhelmingly voted for Biden and overwhelmingly voted.
00:11:21.940Trump got 20 percent of the black vote, largest Republican share of the vote.
00:11:28.220Yeah, but you have to look at the share of the black vote that Trump got.
00:11:32.480But not only that, regardless of the number of the black vote that Trump got, it signals a shift in a community where, and I've spoken to people about this.0.57
00:11:42.380And the reason why the black community votes in a block is because you will be treated very poorly if you vote for a Republican in a black community because you're like, hey, you're going against us.0.72
00:11:52.540So it takes a lot of courage for that 20 percent.0.67
00:11:55.140But if there is 20 percent that did vote for Trump, there's probably a larger percent that supports Trump that just didn't vote that way because of community pressures.
00:12:02.660I believe Trump – and this is not a Republican thing, by the way.0.61
00:12:05.520I don't think Republicans are winning the black vote.
00:12:08.520And it just depends on who replaces Trump, on how we continue to move forward and build a coalition of all ethnicities, blacks, Hispanics, whites, Asians, whoever you want.
00:12:18.460The point is this is an American coalition.
00:12:20.640And America first means everybody's welcome.
00:12:23.220We all have things in common that we can work together for to save this country.
00:12:26.340And I believe the Democrats in this day and age are losing the communities that they have pretended to represent for decades.
00:12:36.600Do you think this is an opportunity?0.50
00:12:38.280Do you think this is evidence that the black American coalition is moving to the right?0.84
00:12:45.320Well, when you have these national elections moving unidirectionally, black voters to the Republican Party, it's easy to to get really bought into the optimism that David is selling right there.0.63
00:12:59.540Keep in mind, Mitt Romney, John McCain, these guys were getting single digits in the black vote.
00:13:05.640And then Donald Trump goes and gets, you know, 20 percent, maybe even higher, frankly, because I don't know that even all those exit polls are accurate because of what David said.
00:13:15.340If you're in the black community and someone at an exit poll is asking you, did you vote for Donald Trump?
00:13:21.500You know, it might be a threatening experience, given the oppression that so many of the Democrat bosses have put on black communities to feel like they're compelled to present their votes, even when their needs aren't being met.
00:13:35.640But you know who will always meet your needs?
00:20:40.220But to be fair, I mean, I'm just going to call balls and strikes.0.98
00:20:46.480The history of this country is riddled with instances of white people committing violence on black people.
00:20:53.000So you can't just take highlight one period in history and say, well, see, this is pretty off, you know, this is pretty off balance.
00:20:58.900I think by and large, if there's an example of the woman on the train, I think really what it is more so than it was a black individual targeting a white individual.0.52
00:21:08.620I think what you're seeing is a breakdown of the services that were promised to the black community by generations of Democrat politicians and then falling short of delivering on those services.
00:21:18.260And what it's done is it left certain members of black community with mental health issues, with drug addiction, with homelessness.
00:21:23.660The black community has been manipulated by the Democrats and then abandoned by the Democrats.0.94
00:21:28.840And what happens? What happens when you have a population?0.84
00:21:34.220No, I want to I want to kind of highlight a point that you had previously made, David, about Europe being one revolution ahead of us
00:21:42.240and us seeing this violent backlash that is equally worthy of condemnation.
00:21:48.680You know, Pearson, I want to ask you about that.
00:21:50.680As you see people, you know, burning down storefronts out of frustration with this dynamic, you know, how do you react to that?
00:22:01.740You're talking about the Sudanese man who tried to behead someone in Ireland and the backlash against it?
00:22:06.740No, no, no. I'm talking, David, yeah, you made the point about some of the backlash that has come against kind of this flood of immigration in Europe.
00:22:16.520And some of it has become, you know, like people are lighting buildings on fire.
00:22:21.460They're burning homes with people inside.
00:22:22.360I don't think that's like a productive way. Yeah, that's not like a productive way to deal with any of this.
00:22:27.920But that's the end goal. I mean, that's the point of all of this, right?
00:22:30.580The point of it is to, and I'm not saying your feelings about what you're seeing with
00:22:35.740Austin Metcalf, and it's all legitimate, but it's by design.
00:22:39.140You're supposed to be pissed off about this.
00:22:40.820You're supposed to see the world through that lens.0.98
00:22:43.040Like, why is the violence be blacks against whites?1.00
00:22:45.900You're supposed to be angry by it because that is the design of this machine.1.00
00:22:49.960They're creating groups of people and pitting them against each other.0.97
00:22:53.820It's parents against their own kids with respect to the trans stuff.
00:22:57.000And you see how bad it gets when you look at what Matt's talking about in the UK.0.83
00:23:00.360Okay, yes, a Sudanese man tried to behead somebody with a butter knife.
00:23:03.380I mean, we'll have to ask Jasmine Crockett if that is an actual weapon or not.
00:23:06.580But he tried to behead somebody with a pocket knife, right?0.93
00:23:10.380And people are burning houses with people inside because they're immigrants.1.00
00:23:14.540One, two wrongs don't make a right.1.00
00:23:57.140did they instituted a program to target hate speech and violent speech and racism on their
00:24:03.820platform and what they found is 90 percent of the hate speech on the platform was against white
00:24:09.860people there was an ai program that was instituted across several universities that was designed to
00:24:14.980catch hate speech and stuff like that and they found the most racist incidents were against
00:24:19.420white people from my from so-called minorities so this isn't something that i'm just imagining
00:24:24.460No, no, you're 100% correct. This is true. My daughter will go to school, and because she's white, other children of different ethnicities will come up to her and be like, oh, you can't talk to her. She's white. The racism against white people is a real thing.0.68
00:24:37.600And that's my point, and that needs to be addressed.
00:25:13.760We've talked about this on the show, but when platforms are allowed to design their algorithms to highlight certain speech and certain speech is hate and certain speech isn't, I think the FCC needs to take a look at that.
00:25:22.980I think we need to take a look at those regulations.
00:25:24.320The way to address this is to have judges who actually do their freaking jobs, who actually put these people away, have long sentences for these violent offenders.
00:25:31.920Don't let them out 10, 20, 30 times, you know?0.53
00:26:31.180I don't obsess about these race questions, and maybe I'm like old-fashioned,
00:26:36.220But, you know, my parents taught me you treat everybody based on the content of the character, you know, to follow that much, much repeated phrase from Dr. Martin Luther King.
00:26:49.280And then it got weird where if you said you were colorblind, you weren't interested in people's race, you just wanted to evaluate merit, that somehow that made you a racist.
00:26:58.800That was a very strange time for me because I always thought that merit should be defended and that merit should be the system that advances our country.
00:27:07.360And what I really wonder about all this, you know, we saw these executive orders from President Trump around the critical race theory, around the DEI, that kind of underpins the sensitivities that all of you are critiquing right now.
00:27:30.500In a world where Trump isn't the president anymore and you had a president, Gavin Newsom, or a president, AOC, do you think it's just as easy for those groups to get their DEI entities formed?
00:27:43.020Or after they dissolved that stuff, did we reach a cultural reckoning on this where we can move on?
00:27:50.180I'm so excited when we get our Merriweather Farm shipments in.
00:34:45.920Is that what we're in for on this thing?
00:34:48.320Because I think that the economic numbers that you guys are talking about essentially
00:34:53.460prove Trump's theory of the economic case.
00:34:57.060Trump said in the debates, he said on the campaign trail, that if he did supply-side shock in energy, it would bring down prices across the board.
00:35:05.540And you saw that inflation curve bending down hard right alongside the cheaper fuel that was available.
00:35:12.680And so if the question is, how long should we pay for this until Iran gets a nuclear weapon?0.63
00:35:17.540One, I believe that their nuclear program was obliterated during the 12-day war.0.72
00:39:47.080They've showed that denial capability in the past.
00:39:50.080And they're in the fight because of this broader conflict, which, look, I mean, I know what I saw when I was a member of the Armed Services Committee.
00:40:00.480and iran is a bad actor and they create trouble in multiple domains right not just in shipping
00:40:07.140in cyberspace uh at the strategic level they're a bad actor but the question is what's the way
00:40:14.280to deal with them like if if what's being contemplated now is we're going to go bomb
00:40:19.460the energy uh infrastructure and the bridges do we think that's going to bring them to the
00:40:26.080negotiating table? What is our basis for that belief? I don't know that it's reality.
00:40:34.780But Pearson, my point is this. As we've been attacking Iran, their position is only hardened.0.87
00:40:41.580Their position is only hardened. And so maybe like, I'm a cheerleader for peace because I don't0.92
00:40:48.180think there's any evidence to suggest that more war is going to make Iran say, you know what,
00:40:53.820here's the uranium here are the straits and don't send us any of our frozen assets i don't think
00:41:00.300that's going to happen so the question is then in this situation is israel the carmelo anthony
00:41:06.020that's a hot explain oh sharp one well you know they're jumping in they're provoking this
00:41:15.740they're they're saying it's in self-defense when all evidence points to the fact that they're
00:41:20.520attacking everybody and it's you know retaliation so october 7th that that you just made this
00:41:26.540argument that austin metcalf leaned onto the knife on october 7th they invaded israel i'm talking
00:41:31.860about october 7th yeah but that's what led to all of this but wait hold on hold on hold on hold on
00:41:37.120is leaning on the knife the same thing as bb netanyahu putting in writing to the qataris
00:41:41.800that he wanted them to give hamas 30 million dollars a month that's sort of the leading
00:43:08.020But I just bristle when everyone says this whole war is Israel's self-defense for October 7th because it was indeed Netanyahu who wanted to keep Hamas in power for his own political domestic interests.0.75
00:43:21.920And in doing so, I think Bibi Netanyahu was one of the greatest contributors to October 7th.
00:43:27.740And on that topic, I want to segue a little bit, because we're talking about Israel.
00:43:32.820The Trump administration is reportedly alarmed by Israel spying getting too close to Iran negotiations.
00:45:30.220It's like you knowing what your friend is having for dinner.
00:45:32.740You're not going to poison him as your friend.0.64
00:45:35.220But Israel regularly transacts that information to our enemies for things that benefit them.0.81
00:45:43.280So Israel can always be counted on to act in their own best interest.0.62
00:45:47.460But that's not always as America's greatest ally. And I think this report indicates that it should also be noted, Pearson.
00:45:54.900The White House put out an official statement saying that the story was false. And so the truth may lie somewhere in the middle.
00:46:02.520I also want to before I get your reaction, I want to add that John Kierakau, the former CIA guy who we've had on the show, he said he was asked if the U.S. spies on Israel.
00:46:57.140Like, Israel should want what's best for Israel.
00:46:59.360United States should want what's best for the United States.
00:47:02.260This idea that this is critical level because, and like Matt said, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
00:47:06.800of course this would be a critical level of awareness for spying because of the times we're
00:47:12.700in right now and because we're negotiation. Israel's very interested to know what deals
00:47:16.540we're making with Iran. So of course you're going to want your people to be a little bit more secure.
00:47:20.960But the greatest ally, I think, just because somebody, we all spy on each other, it doesn't
00:47:25.260make them not our ally, right? I mean, we don't have any real friends. No, it's that they spy on
00:47:29.920us and take our money. No, that's my right. Well, if they don't take our money, we give them our
00:47:34.980money don't take our money they don't take it we give them yeah we give them our money
00:47:39.020there's a different well well congressman congressman with american and israeli passports
00:47:44.460signed bills to give them our money we still give it to him that you were saying okay so david are
00:47:51.660you good with it yeah my question to you is are you good with that like to my answer is i'm not
00:47:55.640okay with it i think it's bad and i think it's bad because a a client state of ours should not
00:48:01.660treat us that way it sounds like what you're saying is you're good if they look if they look
00:48:06.600under the kimono i know is that is that the correct understanding of your argument i don't
00:48:10.800want anybody spying just like but you know what i have blinds on my window because i don't want
00:48:15.200people looking in at night i mean you have to assume that at some point somebody even if it's
00:48:20.700my neighbor who brings me cookies and we get along great if my windows are open and i'm like
00:48:24.500without a shirt on they might be like oh david standing without a shirt on a different no it's
00:48:28.380not. It's the same thing. Because this is Israel standing at the window with binoculars trying to
00:48:32.620get a peek inside. Put your blinds down. The United States understands that everybody wants to know0.92
00:48:37.640what the United States is doing. We take extreme measures to protect our secrets, right? And so
00:48:44.220at the end of the day, we all expect people to spy on us. Now, whether or not we should send
00:48:49.240them money, that is a perfectly legitimate policy question, not just for Israel, but for Ukraine
00:48:54.460And for any other nation we give foreign aid to, I think there's nothing wrong with evaluating foreign aid, taking a deep dive, auditing it and saying, hey, are we actually getting – is the American people getting value to sending their tax dollars to another country or would the American people's tax dollars be better served spending it in some other way?
00:49:11.540I have no problem with that sort of analysis.
00:49:13.940And spying has no calculus on that, whether or not we don't expect just because we give you foreign aid that you're going to turn around and be like, yeah, I'd love to look through your window, but I'm not going to look.
00:52:10.800And the thing is, before the age of YouTube, I wouldn't have got these ideas because, you know, all I had was Grand Theft Auto and Bullwinkles.
00:52:18.380Like, I didn't have these great ideas.0.99
00:52:20.460So the problem with the internet generation is that there's a lot more bad ideas for young, stupid people to do.0.99
00:52:28.300And so, you know, I understand where they're coming from.1.00
