The Ben Shapiro Show - LeBron’s Cop-Hating America | Ep. 1241

00:00:00.000 The media lie about systemic police racism. 0.92

00:00:02.000 The White House, the media, and LeBron James target a police officer for shooting a black teenager who is trying to stab another black teenager.

00:00:09.000 And the Biden administration cracks down on police departments.

00:00:12.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:12.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:14.000 Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

00:00:21.000 I protect my data with VPN, so should you.

00:00:23.000 Visit expressvpn.com slash Ben.

00:00:26.000 Well, we begin today with the simple fact that for many in the media, for virtually the entire Democratic Party, the police are the enemy.

00:00:34.000 The police are the bad guys.

00:00:35.000 The police are systemically racist. 0.96

00:00:37.000 And every incident of police violence in America that involves a white police officer and a black suspect, any incident that goes wrong, or even in which the police do their duty, All of those incidents are just emblematic of systemic police racism.

00:00:50.000 This is a point that I made with regard to the Derek Chauvin trial.

00:00:53.000 Whatever you think about Chauvin, whether you think that he was guilty of second and third degree murder and manslaughter, which is sort of odd since second and third degree murder have different elements, but even if you believe that he was guilty of all of the elements of all of those murders, In all of those charges, even if you believe all of that, there was one charge that Derek Chauvin was convicted of, and the entire system was convicted of, and that was systemic American racism.

00:01:12.000 And the argument was entirely circular.

00:01:14.000 Derek Chauvin, there was no evidence shown that he killed George Floyd because George Floyd was black.

00:01:18.000 None.

00:01:18.000 Not an iota, not a scintilla.

00:01:21.000 The prosecution never even made that argument.

00:01:23.000 And yet, Derek Chauvin was used as the perfect example.

00:01:28.000 Case A. Case 1A.

00:01:30.000 Exhibit 1A.

00:01:31.000 In the American police are systemically racist Argument.

00:01:36.000 And the idea was that because of people like Derek Chauvin, the American police are systemically racist.

00:01:41.000 Also, we have no evidence that Derek Chauvin was actually a racist.

00:01:43.000 So what that means is that American police being systemically racist, that's why he did this.

00:01:48.000 It's perfectly circular. 0.64

00:01:49.000 Derek Chauvin is systemically racist because the system is systemically racist, which is systemically racist because Derek Chauvin is systemically racist.

00:01:56.000 At no point do you actually have to show racism anywhere in here.

00:01:59.000 And that's why the Derek Chauvin story was a national story, of course.

00:02:01.000 Because otherwise, it's just a local crime story.

00:02:03.000 Otherwise, it's just a story of a cop acting in a brutal way.

00:02:07.000 And that's not a national news story.

00:02:08.000 But the idea from the entire media, from the White House, where the president and co-president spoke the other day, The entire story from the left in this country is that every police department is built along the lines of Derek Chauvin.

00:02:23.000 Systemic racism isn't just part of our policing, it's part of our entire way of life.

00:02:26.000 And this is how you have CBS News featuring the racial grifter, Ibram X. Kendi. 0.60

00:02:31.000 Talking about how the Derek Chauvin trial is just indicative of how deeply racist America is.

00:02:38.000 And he says that it's not just Derek Chauvin who was on trial, it was all of America that was on trial.

00:02:41.000 Now, you know what?

00:02:42.000 I can guarantee you that the vast majority of police officers in America are not engaging in the sort of activity in which Derek Chauvin was allegedly engaging.

00:02:53.000 But everyone is guilty, and that's the entire argument.

00:02:56.000 The entire argument is that all of America is guilty.

00:02:58.000 Now, the fact that Ibram X. Kendi is being featured on national news is in and of itself insane, considering that Ibram X. Kendi is an actual tyrant.

00:03:04.000 He has suggested that there be a federal department of anti-racism, an unelected body of people who are capable of striking down any law or regulation, federal, state, or local, that ends with inequality of outcome, which is just fascism.

00:03:20.000 Hey, but Ibram X. Kendi is considered an expert on race for the great reason that he parrots in worse writing the ideas of Derrick Bell and Richard Delgado about critical race theory.

00:03:30.000 And now he is considered a great thought leader.

00:03:32.000 Jack Dorsey donated $10 million to his Center for Anti-Racism, which to date has produced no serious research.

00:03:38.000 So here's Ibram X. Kendi being featured on CBS News and explaining why the Derek Chauvin trial is really about systemic police racism and truly about systemic American racism more broadly.

00:03:48.000 Chauvin is headed to jail, but is America headed to justice?

00:03:53.000 Is justice convicting a police officer, or is justice convicting America?

00:04:00.000 When tens of millions of Americans after Floyd's murder last year took to the streets of nearly every American town, We were convicting America.

00:04:10.000 Justice is opening the door to an anti-racist future where American fear is endangered, where I no longer live in fear, where Americans no longer live in fear of me.

00:04:23.000 Justice has convicted America. 0.84

00:04:25.000 Justice has convicted America, and that's what the entire left wants, and that is why CBS News is featuring Ibram X. Kendi saying this.

00:04:32.000 CBS News!

00:04:33.000 Super objective stuff there from CBS News.

00:04:35.000 Pretty incredible.

00:04:35.000 By the way, nobody's afraid of Ibram X. Kendi.

00:04:38.000 As a human, I'm afraid of his ideas, because his ideas are tyrannical, and frightening, and horrifying.

00:04:44.000 His ideas are truly terrible. 1.00

00:04:46.000 They are garbage, racist ideas. 1.00

00:04:48.000 Ibram X. Kendi is a person who has said that discrimination of the past can only be remedied by discrimination today. 1.00

00:04:53.000 He is, in fact, a racist.

00:04:54.000 And then he uses that, under the guise of quote-unquote anti-racism, in order to push forward these bizarre ideas of equity that involve serious discrimination on the basis of race. 0.80

00:05:03.000 Of course, the Biden administration has embraced this wholesale. 0.93

00:05:05.000 We know that the Biden administration is attempting to teach Ibram X. Kendi-type anti-racist crap in the public schools now.

00:05:12.000 According to National Review, President Biden's Department of Education has signaled its intent to impose the most radical forms of critical race theory on America's schools, very much including the 1619 Project and the so-called anti-racism of Ibram X. Kendi.

00:05:24.000 Biden is obviously co-opting conservatives' interest in reviving traditional U.S.

00:05:27.000 history and civics to deliver its perfect opposite.

00:05:29.000 This is according to Stanley Kurtz writing for National Review.

00:05:32.000 Biden's Department of Education has just released the text of a proposed new rule establishing priorities for grants in American history and civics education programs.

00:05:40.000 That rule gives priority to grant projects that incorporate racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse perspectives.

00:05:46.000 The rule goes on to cite and praise the 1619 Project as well as Kendi.

00:05:50.000 As leading examples of the sorts of ideas the Biden administration wants to spread.

00:05:54.000 Now, there are predictable effects of the critical race theory ideas that are now being fostered in America's public schools, that are being pushed by the media, and making heroes of people and prophets of people like Ibram X. Kendi.

00:06:05.000 And the predictable result is a worse way of life for hundreds of millions of Americans.

00:06:10.000 It is fostering lies about the nature of what America is.

00:06:14.000 It is fostering lies about the nature of America's police.

00:06:17.000 In a second, we're going to go through some of the details about policing in the United States and the argument that America's police are systemically racist.

00:06:23.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:07:33.000 When it comes to insurance, it's nice and quite important to get it right.

00:07:36.000 Okay, so let's go through some of the facts about policing in the United States of America.

00:07:40.000 There are literally tens and tens and tens of millions of encounters between the police and civilians every year in the United States.

00:07:46.000 And there has yet to be solid evidence that the police are seeking out black men to harm black men.

00:07:51.000 There was just a report that came out from the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2020.

00:07:55.000 It found, quote, See, one of the things that you'll see very often in the media is they'll say, look how many more black people than white people are arrested.

00:07:59.000 to commit serious violent crimes and how likely they were to be arrested. In other words, the data suggested that police officers and sheriff's deputies focus on criminals' actions, not their race. See, one of the things that you'll see very often in the media is they'll say, look how many more black people than white people are arrested. Well, that makes sense if more black people than white people per capita are committing crimes.

00:08:19.000 To present those statistics without any underlying information about the reports that are being made about criminal activity is absolutely ridiculous. 0.99

00:08:27.000 It's like saying, the NBA is unbelievably racist. 0.97

00:08:29.000 Look how heavily black the NBA is. 1.00

00:08:30.000 And you're like, no, that's just the number of people per capita who are really good at basketball. 0.99

00:08:35.000 To say that the racial statistics with regard to crime are irrelevant to the racial statistics with regard to arrest is to be a fool. 0.96

00:08:44.000 You're leaving out the chief confound, which is the underlying activity. 0.98

00:08:46.000 In other words, if 60% of reports of a particular crime are about black people and 60% of the arrests are of black people, that's not the fault of the cops.

00:08:55.000 If 10% of the reports are about black people and 60% of the arrests are of black people, then it starts to look a lot like systemic racism, obviously.

00:09:03.000 Heather McDonald reported just a couple of years ago, in 2019, police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous.

00:09:11.000 African Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops, a ratio that has remained stable since 2015.

00:09:15.000 That share of Black victims is less than what the Black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects.

00:09:24.000 In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the United States and committed about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.

00:09:34.000 It is true that police officers are 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by the police.

00:09:41.000 In August 2019, the National Academy of Sciences published research showing there was, quote, no significant evidence of anti-Black disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by police.

00:09:51.000 And then as soon as Heather McDonald cited that stat, the National Academy of Sciences tried to pull down the actual study. 0.88

00:09:56.000 There's a widely publicized study in July of 2016 from Roland Fryer of Harvard University, surveying over a thousand police shootings, finding that black suspects are shot less often than white suspects in comparable situations.

00:10:06.000 A deadly force lab study from Washington State University found that the participants were biased in favor of black suspects in simulated threat scenarios.

00:10:14.000 In 2015, the DOJ analyzed the Philadelphia Police Department, found that white officers were actually less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects.

00:10:24.000 So in other words, this notion that the police are run through with white supremacy is a lie. 0.96

00:10:29.000 It is a lie.

00:10:30.000 But because that lie is so common, because it is so crucial to the systemic racism argument, which requires no evidence of actual systemic racism, it just requires that you not understand the phrase.

00:10:39.000 It requires the semantic overload.

00:10:42.000 Because when people on the left say systemic racism, most people just hear racism.

00:10:46.000 They just hear that racists exist because here's the game that the left plays.

00:10:49.000 It's a perfect Motten-Bailey argument.

00:10:51.000 They'll say systemic racism.

00:10:52.000 You say, okay, I need evidence that the system itself is racist.

00:10:55.000 You have to show me where in the regulations it is racist, or you have to show me where the policies are designed to be racist.

00:11:01.000 And then the left says, no, what we mean by because you are saying that, that means that you don't understand racism.

00:11:07.000 It means that you are in fact a racist because racism does exist.

00:11:10.000 Are you denying that racism exists?

00:11:12.000 No, I'm not denying that racism exists. 0.99

00:11:13.000 Only a fool would deny that racism exists. 0.97

00:11:15.000 I am denying that the police pursue procedures that are designed to harm black people more than they are designed to harm white people or Mexican people or people of any other ethnicity. 0.99

00:11:25.000 In any case, all of this ties together in the generalized leftist belief that the police are bad.

00:11:32.000 Black Lives Matter is not about black lives.

00:11:34.000 It isn't. 0.98

00:11:34.000 They just don't care about certain black lives. 0.98

00:11:36.000 Period. 0.99

00:11:36.000 End of story. 0.99

00:11:37.000 The only black lives that Black Lives Matter cares about are ones that are ended by the cops. 0.92

00:11:41.000 And it doesn't matter what the circumstances of the death are. 0.95

00:11:45.000 This is the proof positive today.

00:11:47.000 So, today's big cop shooting story is a cop shooting story out of Columbus, Ohio.

00:11:53.000 The headline from the Washington Post.

00:11:55.000 Fatal police shooting of black teenager in Columbus sparks a new outcry.

00:11:59.000 Now from that headline, you'd imagine there's a black teenager who's walking along the street and a Columbus police officer decided just to gun down that black teenager, right?

00:12:08.000 Fatal police shooting of black teenager in Columbus sparks a new outcry.

00:12:12.000 Here's the actual story.

00:12:14.000 Body camera footage from a Columbus police officer's fatal shooting of a black teenager sparked outcry and protest from local activists, national leaders, and even the White House on Wednesday, as it became the latest in a string of deadly videos documenting the final moments of a person of color killed by law enforcement.

00:12:27.000 Okay, now, as we were about to find out, that is missing, you know, the fact pattern.

00:12:32.000 It's missing the actual facts, because nobody in the media gives a bleep about the facts.

00:12:36.000 Nobody on the left, apparently.

00:12:38.000 I'm not talking about liberals.

00:12:38.000 I'm talking about the hard left, who are now driving the party boat here.

00:12:42.000 No one gives a crap about black lives that are not ended by the cops. 1.00

00:12:47.000 They don't care about this. 1.00

00:12:48.000 They don't care. 1.00

00:12:48.000 If a black person kills another black person, they do not care. 1.00

00:12:52.000 In fact, it's not just that they don't care. 0.99

00:12:54.000 They're okay with that, so long as it means there are fewer police officers on the streets. 0.96

00:12:58.000 If there are fewer police officers on the streets, and more black people get murdered, this is what they are stumping for. 0.99

00:13:03.000 This is what they are actively rooting for, apparently. 0.84

00:13:07.000 Because here's what actually happened in this story.

00:13:11.000 Again, watch how far you have to go into this Washington Post piece before you actually get the fact pattern.

00:13:15.000 Paragraph one was all about the evils of this Columbus police officer condemned by national leaders and local activists in the White House.

00:13:23.000 Paragraph 2.

00:13:23.000 The death of 16-year-old Makia Bryant, who was shot by Officer Nicholas Reardon on Tuesday during an altercation.

00:13:29.000 During an altercation, guys.

00:13:30.000 It was just an altercation.

00:13:31.000 Comes as the nation is undergoing a broad reckoning over police brutality and racism.

00:13:35.000 Her name joins a long and growing list of black people killed by police officers in deadly interactions that have sparked protests and broad calls for justice.

00:13:43.000 Okay, that was paragraph two.

00:13:44.000 And we still don't know the incident.

00:13:46.000 All we know, they're gradually dripping out what actually happened, right?

00:13:48.000 Because when it turns out that you find out what happened, the cop wasn't just right, the cop saved a black girl.

00:13:53.000 Okay, so paragraph one was, it was really bad. 0.97

00:13:57.000 Cop shot a black person, White House hated it.

00:13:59.000 Paragraph two was, there was an altercation, that's all we now know. 0.93

00:14:05.000 And we know that this person's name has now been added to the list of tragedies in which a black person was shot by a white cop.

00:14:13.000 I'll continue with the story in just one second.

00:14:15.000 It's pretty incredible.

00:15:20.000 Okay, so now we are fully two paragraphs into this story and we still don't know the facts surrounding the shooting of Makia Bryant.

00:15:26.000 Paragraph three.

00:15:28.000 In a sign of how effective those protests have been in drawing attention to the issue of police violence, the details of the shooting were swiftly briefed to President Biden, whose administration has pledged to address systemic racism and overhaul policing.

00:15:40.000 Okay, that was paragraph three.

00:15:42.000 You still don't know what the hell happened.

00:15:43.000 Paragraph four.

00:15:44.000 The killing of 16-year-old Makia Bryant by Columbus police is tragic, said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

00:15:49.000 Okay, paragraph five.

00:15:50.000 As SACI was drawing a connection between Brian's killing and the broader trend of disproportionate use of force against minorities by police, officials in Columbus sought to calm tensions by quickly releasing information about the incident.

00:16:01.000 That's paragraph six.

00:16:03.000 I wish to hell it hadn't happened, Interim Police Chief Michael Woods told reporters after releasing the footage and the 911 calls that led officers to respond.

00:16:09.000 Woods said the officer has been with the department since December 2019, has been placed on administrative leave.

00:16:15.000 Okay, that is paragraph seven.

00:16:17.000 You notice that we are now like halfway through the story and you still don't know what the hell happened in this shooting.

00:16:24.000 All you know is that a black girl got shot and a white police officer did the shooting. 0.81

00:16:27.000 You still don't know.

00:16:28.000 It takes all the way until paragraph nine before you actually get to the facts of the shooting.

00:16:33.000 Quote, the footage released Wednesday shows a chaotic scene.

00:16:36.000 The officer identified as Reardon arrives during a physical altercation involving several people.

00:16:42.000 Reardon, who is white, can be seen emerging from his vehicle as Bryant appears to chase someone who falls onto the sidewalk.

00:16:47.000 The teen then turns toward someone else wearing a pink sweatsuit and takes a swing at her hand with what appears to be a blade briefly visible in her hand. 1.00

00:16:54.000 The officer yells gets down multiple times before firing four shots at the girl, leaving her sprawled next to a car in the driveway. 1.00

00:16:59.000 She had a knife. 0.96

00:17:00.000 She just ran at her, one officer says on the footage.

00:17:03.000 Another clip showed officer performing CPR on Bryant.

00:17:07.000 So, um, This is a case where a girl was attempting to stab another girl.

00:17:14.000 And this was covered in paragraph 9 of the Washington Post story.

00:17:17.000 Paragraph 9.

00:17:18.000 NBC News was even worse.

00:17:19.000 NBC News put up the body cam footage.

00:17:22.000 They took out the part with the knife and they took out the part from the 911 call where somebody actually reported that the girl had a knife in the first place.

00:17:28.000 They just cut it out.

00:17:30.000 The media are rooting for the cops to go down.

00:17:33.000 That is all this is.

00:17:34.000 The media are openly rooting for this stuff right now.

00:17:37.000 Here's the edited, here's the edited clip from NBC News.

00:17:41.000 Police body cam video shows Micaiah Bryant's final moments.

00:17:45.000 When a Columbus, Ohio police officer responding to a call gets out of his car and seconds later fatally shoots the 16-year-old girl.

00:17:56.000 Officer Nicholas Reardon, who joined the force in December of 2019, was responding to a 911 call.

00:18:03.000 We need a police officer here now! 0.74

00:18:05.000 Video shows Reardon approaching a group of young people in his driveway.

00:18:10.000 It wasn't just NBC News.

00:18:11.000 CNN.

00:18:12.000 There are growing questions, according to Wolf Blitzer, about what just happened in Columbus.

00:18:17.000 Now, it seems to me that once you know what happened, there actually should be lessening questions, should there not? 0.54

00:18:23.000 There should be a decrescendo of questioning, considering that we now know that the cop shot a black girl who was attempting to stab another black girl. 0.89

00:18:30.000 But here's the thing.

00:18:31.000 If the cop had never shown up, and Makia Bryant had stabbed the other girl to death, nobody would have cared.

00:18:37.000 Nobody would have cared.

00:18:39.000 Nobody in the media.

00:18:40.000 Nobody in Black Lives Matter. 1.00

00:18:41.000 Not LeBron James.

00:18:42.000 Not the White House.

00:18:43.000 They wouldn't have given two dams about that girl's life. 0.98

00:18:45.000 How do I know?

00:18:46.000 How do I know?

00:18:47.000 I know that because it did happen, okay?

00:18:49.000 In Cincinnati, Ohio, two days ago, a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death.

00:18:53.000 A 13-year-old black girl was stabbed to death by another 13-year-old girl. 0.89

00:18:57.000 This is not a national news story because no one cares if a black person stabs another black person to death and they're both 13. 0.97

00:19:03.000 Nobody cares. 0.97

00:19:05.000 If the cop had shown up and shot the 13-year-old black girl who's stabbing the other girl, then it would be a national news story about systemic police racism. 0.88

00:19:12.000 Here's a story that actually matters from Cincinnati, Ohio, because it turns out that the homicide statistics in black America are devastating, are crippling.

00:19:21.000 The number of black Americans killed unarmed by the police every year is under 20.

00:19:26.000 The number of black Americans who are killed in homicides every year is thousands upon thousands.

00:19:29.000 I mean, we were talking in the year 2019 alone, about 7,500 black Americans were killed in homicides. 0.93

00:19:35.000 The vast majority of those people were killed by other black people because most crime in America is intraracial. 1.00

00:19:40.000 I mean, seriously, this true absurdity that we are supposed to pay attention only when a cop is involved demonstrates that this is not about saving black lives, not in the slightest. 0.83

00:19:53.000 It's about the reverse. 0.98

00:19:54.000 It's about we don't care if more black people get killed so long as we dismantle the cops. 0.99

00:19:58.000 It is just anti-cop hatred. 0.99

00:20:00.000 Here is this case from Cincinnati.

00:20:01.000 Ain't nobody going to pay attention to this because it was just a 13-year-old black girl whose life mattered also, but not to the media because it wasn't ended by a cop. 1.00

00:20:10.000 I held her.

00:20:12.000 I watched her as she died.

00:20:17.000 I watched her, held her.

00:20:19.000 All I could do was just hold her.

00:20:21.000 You know, hold her.

00:20:23.000 Devastation, heartache, loss.

00:20:26.000 I tried.

00:20:28.000 I tried to stop the bleeding.

00:20:33.000 Are you devastated by that?

00:20:34.000 Because you should be devastated by that.

00:20:36.000 It turns out that Nayara Givens, which is the name of the girl who was stabbed, You should say her name much more often than you say the name of the girl who was attempting to stab another girl and got shot by the police.

00:20:45.000 Nayara Givens didn't do anything, she was just stabbed to death.

00:20:47.000 But you don't care about that in the media.

00:20:49.000 That's not a national- that's a local crime story.

00:20:51.000 It's not a national news story.

00:20:55.000 It's just amazing.

00:20:56.000 But don't worry, the questions are growing in Columbus.

00:20:58.000 Not in Cincinnati, in Columbus.

00:20:59.000 Here's Wolf Blitzer talking about the growing questions in Columbus.

00:21:03.000 We're also following developments in Columbus, Ohio, where there are now growing questions about the deadly police shooting of 16-year-old African-American Micaiah Bryant.

00:21:13.000 Police are releasing more body camera video that appears to show Bryant wielding a knife and officers warning her several times to get down before she seems to lunge at another girl and police open fire.

00:21:28.000 The growing seems to lunge.

00:21:30.000 Not lunges.

00:21:31.000 Okay?

00:21:32.000 And it was across the media.

00:21:33.000 It was just lying about the case.

00:21:35.000 Just lying about it.

00:21:36.000 Outright.

00:21:37.000 Pretty incredible.

00:21:38.000 MSNBC's Jason Johnson.

00:21:39.000 He misleads about the case, too, because that's what he does.

00:21:43.000 The Kia Bryant, a 16-year-old girl in Columbus, Ohio, called the police for help.

00:21:49.000 An officer was on the scene, and in 22 seconds, he shot her dead.

00:21:53.000 An honor roll student who's making TikTok videos on makeup and hair.

00:21:57.000 This hasn't stopped.

00:22:00.000 Oh, it was, yeah, just makeup videos.

00:22:02.000 That's all she was doing.

00:22:03.000 Also attempting to stab another girl with a knife.

00:22:04.000 But other than that, the same.

00:22:07.000 The defenses are coming fast and furious from people of Makia Bryant's activities.

00:22:07.000 The same.

00:22:12.000 The TikTok things, again, this is what the media do.

00:22:14.000 They seize on one detail of a particular case and then claim that this has something to do with the case.

00:22:18.000 For Trayvon Martin, it was the hoodie and the Skittles.

00:22:21.000 And for Makia Bryant, it's TikTok videos.

00:22:25.000 That's irrelevant to why the cop shot her.

00:22:27.000 The cop didn't shoot her because she was making TikTok videos.

00:22:28.000 He shot her because she was trying to stab another girl.

00:22:32.000 And it's across the media.

00:22:33.000 Okay, well, we'll get to more of this in just one second.

00:22:36.000 First, let's talk about the fact you don't really want to be going to the post office today.

00:22:40.000 I mean, why would you want to go to the post office any day?

00:23:50.000 Promo code Shapiro.

00:23:51.000 Stamps.com.

00:23:52.000 Never go to the post office again.

00:23:54.000 Okay, so the defense is from the media of Make no mistake, this is not about police officers behaving in ways that violate the law.

00:24:09.000 This is not about Derek Chauvin and whether Derek Chauvin committed manslaughter or second-degree murder.

00:24:13.000 This is about police officers just doing their jobs.

00:24:17.000 Okay, now I'm going to show you the actual body cam footage.

00:24:19.000 I think it's important that you actually see the body cam footage of what happened in this particular case.

00:24:23.000 Here's the actual body cam footage of what happened in this particular case, because by all the narrative that I've given you up to this point, you would think that the cop did something wrong.

00:24:31.000 The cop saved a black girl's life.

00:24:33.000 That's what happened here.

00:24:34.000 But he wasn't supposed to save the black girl's life. 0.99

00:24:36.000 He was supposed to let Makia Bryant stab this other girl to death. 0.98

00:24:40.000 And then, he would have been doing his job, apparently. 0.99

00:24:42.000 Because Black Lives Matter does not give a damn about black lives unless it also has to do with dismantling the police. 0.93

00:24:48.000 That's the real agenda. 0.97

00:24:50.000 Here is the body cam footage.

00:24:52.000 What's going on?

00:24:53.000 Hey! 0.99

00:24:54.000 What's going on?

00:24:54.000 Hey!

00:24:56.000 Hey! 0.99

00:24:56.000 Get down! 0.99

00:24:59.000 Get down! 0.98

00:24:59.000 Hey! 0.98

00:25:00.000 No! 1.00

00:25:00.000 You didn't shoot my f***ing baby! 1.00

00:25:03.000 You shot my baby! 1.00

00:25:06.000 I didn't do anything!

00:25:11.000 Okay, that girl is coming out. 1.00

00:25:13.000 If you screen cap it, what you will see from the body cam footage is Makia Bryant lunging at the other girl with a knife. 0.99

00:25:19.000 You can see her do it.

00:25:20.000 I mean, it's horrifying footage.

00:25:21.000 You don't want to watch.

00:25:21.000 That's a knife in her hand.

00:25:23.000 She has a knife in her hand. 0.98

00:25:24.000 She's about to stab this other girl. 1.00

00:25:27.000 In fact, the woman who didn't get stabbed, this woman who is wearing the pink bodysuit, she says later in the body cam footage, she was trying to stab me with a knife.

00:25:36.000 Here she was.

00:25:38.000 She came out with a knife earlier. 0.99

00:25:46.000 No, she just, that's what the police did. 0.99

00:25:50.000 She came after me.

00:25:51.000 With a knife?

00:25:52.000 Yeah, so he got her.

00:25:56.000 But that woman whose life was just saved by the cop, her life apparently doesn't matter.

00:26:01.000 If she'd been stabbed to death right there on the sidewalk, wouldn't matter because Makia Bryant made TikTok videos and the cop is bad because the cop is white and cops are always bad. 1.00

00:26:09.000 Michael Eric Dyson of MSNBC said that, you know, the police show more discretion when it's whites wielding machetes. 0.82

00:26:15.000 Again, statistically speaking, more whites than blacks are shot by the cops.

00:26:19.000 And according to Professor Mostas at John Jay College. 0.96

00:26:25.000 Police are more likely to shoot a white suspect who is a danger to them than a black suspect. 0.94

00:26:29.000 But none of that matters. 0.98

00:26:30.000 Here's Michael Eric Dyson lying.

00:26:33.000 The police will not exercise discretion, will not use a reduced sense of engagement to preserve black life.

00:26:41.000 We see constantly, we see videos of white people wielding machetes, chasing police people around.

00:26:47.000 A white man with a gun on his seat as the police extract their revolvers from their holsters, pointing them at him, demanding he get out and he refuses to and takes off and they don't shoot him.

00:26:59.000 It's unbelievable.

00:27:00.000 It's just unbelievable.

00:27:01.000 I mean, this is it's not true.

00:27:04.000 OK, there's a lot of body cam footage.

00:27:05.000 All body cam footage is by its very nature anecdotal because it's a single incident.

00:27:09.000 All we have our data and the data do not back up anything that Michael Eric Dyson is saying right there.

00:27:13.000 None of that matters. 0.99

00:27:14.000 The only thing that matters is that the cops suck and they need to be gotten rid of. 1.00

00:27:16.000 And if that means more dead black people, the media don't give two dams about it. 1.00

00:27:20.000 It's unbelievable. 0.96

00:27:22.000 You want to talk about systemic racism?

00:27:24.000 The systemic racism of a media that does not care if thousands of additional black people die every year because the cops aren't there to protect them against people committing criminal acts?

00:27:32.000 The media are responsible for that.

00:27:34.000 The media are pushing that.

00:27:37.000 It's unreal.

00:27:38.000 Politicians are pushing this.

00:27:39.000 By the way, MSNBC's Joy Reid, who is just a font of utter insanity on a constant basis, here's what she tweeted out with regard to Makia Bryant. 1.00

00:27:49.000 So there's a woman named Brittany Cooper, Who said, I'm not watching that body cam footage.

00:27:53.000 Always, it's amazing how many people will preface a statement that is false by saying that they won't look at the evidence that their statement is false.

00:28:00.000 I'm not watching that body cam footage, but we see story after story of the cops managing to take white men who threatened them with guns, knives, and even ran their cars into police officers alive. 0.95

00:28:08.000 Yet somehow, anytime they engage with black folks, it's shoot first. 1.00

00:28:12.000 And Joy Reid said, this part right here. 0.98

00:28:15.000 There's no statistical evidence this is the case.

00:28:18.000 And you have to admire the incredible temerity of people who say, I refuse to look at the evidence, but... Okay, and then she followed that up, she said, Thanks, Professor Krunk.

00:28:28.000 Her TikTok videos broke my heart.

00:28:30.000 We decided we wanted our audience to see her joyful and alive.

00:28:33.000 Whatever happened to that house between those girls, an adult should have tried to talk them down and help.

00:28:36.000 Makia Bryant did not need to die. 0.79

00:28:38.000 She was a child.

00:28:40.000 Well, you know, obviously, you know, whatever happened, including a person lunging another person with a knife, the cops, what are the cops supposed to do?

00:28:46.000 Talk to her while she's attempting to stab somebody? 1.00

00:28:48.000 What is the preferred outcome?

00:28:49.000 Would a social worker have been really useful?

00:28:51.000 Right about that moment when Makia Bryant was flying out that front door and trying to stab that other girl?

00:28:56.000 Well done from Joy Reid.

00:28:59.000 Cornell William Brooks on CNN.

00:29:00.000 Same thing.

00:29:01.000 This was just a schoolyard fight.

00:29:02.000 So now the left is full-scale engaged in downplaying deadly criminal activity to own the cops.

00:29:08.000 It's pretty unbelievable.

00:29:09.000 Here is Cornell William Brooks on CNN.

00:29:12.000 The question we have to ask ourselves, what if it were your daughter?

00:29:16.000 What if it were your child?

00:29:17.000 What if it were a member of your family, your neighbor, in a, essentially a teenage fight, a schoolyard fight? 0.97

00:29:26.000 Certainly the facts will emerge, but we are right to ask, why can't we put the accent on present life, children's lives, as opposed to simply assuming the best we can do is simply kill another child.

00:29:40.000 We saw the body cam footage.

00:29:42.000 It was just a schoolyard fight, though.

00:29:45.000 It's just a schoolyard fight, you know, like a schoolyard fight, like the one in which a 13-year-old girl was killed in Cincinnati, Ohio, that you don't care about her name, Nayara Givens.

00:29:50.000 You don't care about her.

00:29:53.000 Don't bother saying her name. 0.58

00:29:54.000 She's just a statistic.

00:29:56.000 This is an incident. 0.95

00:29:58.000 She was just a statistic, and she's just a statistic because she wasn't killed by a white cop. 0.65

00:30:03.000 It is truly unbelievable.

00:30:06.000 So, it didn't stop there.

00:30:07.000 Bree Newsome, who's a Black Lives Matter activist, her tweets were flying around the internet yesterday. 0.88

00:30:11.000 Quote, teenagers have been having fights, including fights involving knives, for eons.

00:30:16.000 We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene and using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y'all need help. I mean that seriously. I mean, hell, in Romeo and Juliet, teenagers were stabbing each other.

00:30:26.000 We didn't need anybody to stop that.

00:30:28.000 I mean, the Jets and the Sharks were going at each other routinely.

00:30:32.000 It's just a thing teenagers do.

00:30:32.000 Knife fights.

00:30:34.000 I remember in my teenage days when old Bob took off one of my ears and we laughed together and had a beer.

00:30:40.000 It's just something teenagers do.

00:30:41.000 Cups shouldn't be involved when teenagers fight each other with knives. 1.00

00:30:46.000 Okay, and this goes all the way up to the White House.

00:30:48.000 Jen Psaki, who has been briefed on the situation, she says that this is just another element of systemic racism.

00:30:54.000 It's always systemic racism.

00:30:56.000 Systemic racism. 0.89

00:30:57.000 Again, the truly systemically racist people are the people who pursue policy that is designed, designed and known to lead to more black loss of life. 0.98

00:31:05.000 That would be systemic racism, is if you pursue a policy that you know indubitably will lead to more dead black people. 0.93

00:31:13.000 And then you pursue that policy.

00:31:14.000 So let's say that that policy removing all the cops from areas of high crime, which is exactly what Democrats are doing.

00:31:18.000 Would you call that systemic racism? 0.95

00:31:20.000 Looks a lot more like systemic racism than the cops saving one black girl by shooting a black girl who's attempting to kill her. 0.91

00:31:26.000 Here is Jen Psaki engaging in systemic racism of her own here. 1.00

00:31:31.000 The killing of 16-year-old Mikayla Bryant by the Columbus Police is tragic.

00:31:35.000 She was a child.

00:31:36.000 We're thinking of her friends and family and the communities that are hurting and grieving her loss.

00:31:40.000 And her death came, as you noted, just as America was hopeful of a step forward after the traumatic and exhausting trial of Derek Chauvin and the verdict that was reached.

00:31:49.000 So our focus is on working to address systemic racism and implicit bias head-on and, of course, to passing laws and legislation that will put much-needed reforms It's unbelievable.

00:32:03.000 A cop shoots a black girl to save another black girl, and the outcome is systemic racism and implicit bias.

00:32:07.000 From the White House. 0.98

00:32:08.000 From the White House.

00:32:09.000 And then you have LeBron James.

00:32:11.000 The greatest and wisest of all Americans.

00:32:13.000 He's just... LeBron James is a visionary.

00:32:16.000 I mean, sure, he's willing to take millions of dollars from China and allow China to basically commit whatever human rights violations they want to commit, and then he'll defend China. 0.96

00:32:24.000 Sure, LeBron James doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to actual statistics with regard to policing or race in the United States.

00:32:32.000 Sure, LeBron James, who is worth approximately a billion dollars, goes around talking about how he lives in existential fear of the cops, which is pretty incredible. 0.97

00:32:40.000 Sure, LeBron James doesn't really know things, but here's the thing.

00:32:44.000 The media have dubbed him a new wonder worker in American politics.

00:32:47.000 They've dubbed him an important figure in American politics, even though he doesn't know things.

00:32:52.000 When I say that LeBron James doesn't know things, I mean, it's pretty obvious he doesn't know things.

00:32:55.000 I mean, just last year, he was carrying around the autobiography of Malcolm X.

00:33:00.000 And he was asked specifically, what do you like about this autobiography?

00:33:03.000 And the tape is somewhat revealing.

00:33:05.000 LeBron James knows the slogans, but didn't know much beyond that.

00:33:08.000 So here's LeBron James explaining what he loves most about Malcolm X's autobiography about a year ago.

00:33:13.000 So you're holding the autobiography of Malcolm X along with Alex Haley.

00:33:16.000 I don't know how far you are into the book, but what's your biggest takeaway so far?

00:33:19.000 He's just a very, um, very smart man.

00:33:24.000 Very, very, very smart man.

00:33:27.000 And basically, um, Well, it's that sort of brilliant knowledge and incredible wisdom and real insight about race in America that led LeBron James to tweet yesterday a picture of the cop in this case.

00:33:51.000 The cop who just saved a black girl's life.

00:33:53.000 There's a picture of the cop and it said, you're next.

00:33:55.000 All capitals.

00:33:56.000 You're next.

00:33:57.000 With a little With a little hourglass next to it.

00:34:01.000 Hashtag accountability.

00:34:04.000 He didn't care about the circumstances.

00:34:06.000 Didn't care about any of that. 0.99

00:34:07.000 All that mattered, it was white cop, black person got shot. 0.98

00:34:10.000 Nothing else mattered. 1.00

00:34:12.000 Then he took it down, because it turns out that he looked like an insane fool. 1.00

00:34:16.000 Because it turns out that when you attack a police officer for saving a black person's life, you look like a damned ass. 1.00

00:34:22.000 But LeBron James didn't care about that because LeBron James doesn't care about honesty. 1.00

00:34:25.000 All he cares about is the fact that he's been treated as a princely figure in American life his entire adult life.

00:34:31.000 He took it down.

00:34:31.000 He tweeted out.

00:34:32.000 Here's what he tweeted. 1.00

00:34:33.000 I'm so damn tired of seeing black people killed by police. 0.99

00:34:36.000 I noticed he's not so damn tired of seeing black people killed by other black people because he never tweets about that. 0.99

00:34:40.000 He doesn't care about that. 1.00

00:34:41.000 He doesn't care if the police save black people by killing. 1.00

00:34:45.000 Black victimizers. 1.00

00:34:46.000 He's so damn tired of seeing black people killed by police. 1.00

00:34:46.000 That doesn't matter to him. 1.00

00:34:49.000 I took the tweet down because it's being used to create more hate.

00:34:52.000 Not because you're wrong. 1.00

00:34:53.000 Not because you look like an ass. 0.99

00:34:54.000 Not because it was used to create more hate. 1.00

00:34:56.000 Oh.

00:34:57.000 It was a hateful tweet!

00:34:58.000 You were literally calling for the prosecution of a police officer who just saved a black woman's life, LeBron.

00:35:04.000 He said this isn't about one officer.

00:35:06.000 It's never just about one officer.

00:35:09.000 It's about the entire system.

00:35:10.000 And they always use our words to create more racism.

00:35:13.000 I am so desperate for more accountability.

00:35:16.000 How about some accountability for your own words, LeBron?

00:35:18.000 How about some accountability for slandering a man who just saved a black woman's life?

00:35:22.000 I hope he sues LeBron out of existence.

00:35:25.000 I hope LeBron has to sign him a nice big fat settlement check for that tweet.

00:35:25.000 Seriously.

00:35:30.000 He would certainly deserve it.

00:35:32.000 But this is LeBron's America, don't you understand?

00:35:34.000 LeBron is a thought leader.

00:35:36.000 The media agree with LeBron.

00:35:38.000 The White House agrees with LeBron.

00:35:40.000 The circumstances of these cases do not matter. 0.97

00:35:43.000 There's only one uniting thread, and that is that white America and all of its systems are racist, And that any white cop who shoots a black person, even in the course of doing his job or saving other black people, is bad. 0.91

00:35:54.000 Because that, again, is indicative of how terrible the system is. 0.59

00:35:57.000 We'll get to more of this in just one second, because this has some real consequences in policy. 0.99

00:36:01.000 And those consequences in policy, by the way, will end with more dead black people. 1.00

00:36:05.000 In a study recently done between 2014 and 2019, the Ferguson protests, the Black Lives Matter movement, has resulted in somewhere between one and six thousand more dead people, mostly black, in America's major cities.

00:36:18.000 Over the course of last year, murder rate in America's major cities, 34 of America's major cities, averaged a 30% increase.

00:36:24.000 In certain cities, it was up almost 100%.

00:36:26.000 In just a second, we'll get to more of this, more of the left pushing the lie that the police are the bad guys here.

00:36:32.000 It's just about cop hatred.

00:36:34.000 And the whirlwind that is being reaped will be sown in terms of more innocent dead people, many of them black. 0.96

00:36:42.000 It's devastating stuff.

00:36:43.000 We'll get to more of this in one second.

00:36:44.000 First, let us talk about the fact that if you're on Facebook, the big breach is here.

00:36:47.000 Facebook had 500 million accounts exposed to cyber thieves.

00:36:50.000 According to a retired FBI cybercrime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was in fact leaked.

00:36:56.000 Your name, address, personal information, it's out there.

00:36:59.000 A thief can forge your signature on a quick claim deed saying you sold your home to him and then he just starts taking out credit against your home, leaving you in debt or theoretically even having you evicted.

00:37:08.000 You need to protect your home title.

00:37:09.000 You can do it easily and quickly with Home Title Lock.

00:37:12.000 Your home is certainly your most valuable asset.

00:37:45.000 Alrighty.

00:37:46.000 In just a second, we'll get to more of the anti-cop agenda, the cop-hating agenda, because that's what this is.

00:37:50.000 This is not about protecting black lives.

00:37:51.000 It's about hatred of cops. 0.98

00:37:52.000 It is that simple.

00:38:57.000 Join DailyWire today.

00:38:58.000 you're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:39:01.000 The lie matters more than the truth. 0.55

00:39:07.000 You want to talk systemic racism, you got to talk about the fact that there are so many people in positions of power on the left who do not give a damn if innocent black people die because they've decided to wreck the cops.

00:39:18.000 That includes people like Benjamin Crump, who can be found at every racial conflagration in America.

00:39:22.000 He tweeted out, This is what he tweeted after the Makia Bryant shooting.

00:39:26.000 breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting as Columbus police killed an unarmed 15 year old black girl named Makia Bryant.

00:39:26.000 Okay, one problem.

00:39:35.000 Another child lost, another hashtag.

00:39:37.000 Hashtag justice for Makia Bryant.

00:39:40.000 Okay, one problem, she wasn't unarmed. 0.98

00:39:44.000 Ben Crump says that kind of crap all the time. 0.94

00:39:46.000 Every single case where Ben Crump jetsets, he completely botches the fact pattern and then the media pick up the fact pattern and they start mimicking the lying fact pattern. 0.99

00:39:53.000 Valerie Jarrett, former chief of staff to Barack Obama.

00:39:56.000 She tweeted out, a black teenage girl named Makia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight.

00:40:04.000 Demand accountability, fight for justice.

00:40:07.000 So now you don't just want cops to go to jail for using excessive force like Derek Chauvin.

00:40:13.000 You want cops to go to jail for stopping the murder of another black person.

00:40:18.000 So, here's what I'm gathering. 0.85

00:40:19.000 All you want is the cops in jail.

00:40:21.000 That's all.

00:40:22.000 You just want the cops in jail.

00:40:23.000 Or you don't want there to be cops at all.

00:40:25.000 And in fact, some people are being pretty clear about this.

00:40:27.000 Hundreds of people gathered at Ohio State University They gathered outside the Ohio Union.

00:40:33.000 They staged a sit-in inside the building on Wednesday to protest Ohio State's relationship with the Columbus Police following the recent Columbus Police killing of Makia Bryant.

00:40:40.000 First of all, I think that the Columbus Police, if they have the option, should just tell Ohio State University, you're on your own.

00:40:45.000 Enjoy.

00:40:47.000 Seriously, have at it, everybody.

00:40:48.000 We're out.

00:40:50.000 Organizers told the crowd the protest was for police abolition, not reform.

00:40:54.000 They also called out the university for not acknowledging Tuesday's shooting and said its relationship with Columbus police makes students feel unsafe.

00:41:00.000 All the students feel unsafe, do they?

00:41:02.000 Imagine how unsafe they will feel when there are no cops.

00:41:05.000 Because you know who's going to be the chief target of crime if you get rid of the cops at Ohio State University?

00:41:11.000 All the privileged kids going to Ohio State University.

00:41:13.000 That's who.

00:41:13.000 A lot of laptops lying around in backpacks at Ohio State University.

00:41:18.000 The protest came after Bryant, a black 16-year-old girl in foster care, was shot and killed on the southeast side of Columbus on Tuesday.

00:41:24.000 Protesters sat in silence inside the Ohio Union for 16 minutes for Bryant's age, in solidarity with her.

00:41:32.000 No solidarity with the girl she was trying to stab, I've noticed.

00:41:34.000 But again, the facts don't matter.

00:41:35.000 I mean, it's really, it's impressive stuff.

00:41:38.000 It's impressive stuff.

00:41:39.000 And again, it has nothing to do with anything except cop hatred.

00:41:42.000 That's all.

00:41:42.000 It's just anti-cop hatred.

00:41:44.000 And it'll be reflected in policy.

00:41:46.000 Because that is, in fact, the next step, is the reflection in policy.

00:41:50.000 Which is why what you are seeing right now is the Biden DOJ cracking down on the Minneapolis Police Department.

00:41:57.000 So the same Minneapolis Police that just had the chief testify against an officer and had several officers testify against an officer, now the Biden Justice Department has announced an investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department.

00:42:07.000 According to Annie McCarthy, Fired Minneapolis Police Department Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted yesterday afternoon on all three homicide counts in the racially charged George Floyd case.

00:42:16.000 With the inevitability of the morning sun, Attorney General Merrick Garland, supermoderate guy, announced this morning the Justice Department is launching a pattern or practice investigation of the MPD.

00:42:25.000 The pretext is that the evidence in Chauvin's case suggests the police department as a whole is riven by systemic racism.

00:42:31.000 This despite the fact that some of the most compelling testimony in Chauvin's trial came from MPD officials.

00:42:37.000 You knew it was coming.

00:42:38.000 The Obama administration made a habit of exacerbating tensions created by police-involved incidents involving black men.

00:42:43.000 Its Justice Department then exploited such controversies to carry out a federalization of local law enforcement in conformance with Obama-preferred progressive policing.

00:42:51.000 The feds don't go after the locals on the individual case.

00:42:53.000 There'll be no civil rights criminal prosecution of Chauvin and the other ex-cops because they don't have the actual material to do so.

00:42:58.000 Instead, the DOJ uses vague standards Democrats have written into civil law amplified by the DOJ's gargantuan budget for litigating against states and municipalities to quote-unquote reform entire police departments.

00:43:10.000 As Annie McCarthy wrote several years ago.

00:43:12.000 The Justice Department's civil rights investigations that Eric Holder was fond of announcing are not like public trials.

00:43:17.000 They occur out of the public eye, where feverish Justice Department claims are not aired and scrutinized.

00:43:22.000 More significantly, they happen with the air of extortion created by the nearly $28 billion in funding Congress keeps giving justice every year, no matter how many congressional investigations it obstructs, false statements its officials make, how much it politicizes law enforcement.

00:43:35.000 During the Obama administration, there were more than 20 major American cities and their police departments beholden to the Obama Justice Department.

00:43:41.000 They signed consent decrees that basically allowed the feds to run the police departments to the great detriment of the citizens of these cities, who are then affected by the fact that the police couldn't actually do their job.

00:43:53.000 Seattle was snagged by the DOJ.

00:43:55.000 It's been under a consent decree since the Justice Department targeted it in 2012 for a quote-unquote, pattern or practice of violations, allegedly including subjecting individuals to excessive force.

00:44:09.000 Meanwhile, other cities are looking to crack down on their own police force.

00:44:13.000 Apparently, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is considering requiring a superior's permission before you actually engage in a foot chase. 1.00

00:44:21.000 So if somebody It has a gun, and they are running away from a cop.

00:44:25.000 You'd have to call into your superior and ask, can I chase this person who is dangerous and carrying a gun and running around the city after having just shot at a moving car, for example.

00:44:34.000 You have to call a superior.

00:44:35.000 Makes sense?

00:44:37.000 Meanwhile, in Manhattan, they are no longer prosecuting prostitution as part of a nationwide shift.

00:44:43.000 Prosecutors, local prosecutors in major American cities have decided they're not going to prosecute low-level crimes.

00:44:48.000 We are about to see an explosion of crime in the major cities that we haven't seen since the 1960s.

00:44:53.000 It's gonna be incredible.

00:44:54.000 It's gonna be horrifying for the citizens who live in these cities.

00:44:58.000 But if democracy is the theory, as H.L.

00:45:00.000 Mencken put it, that the people deserve to get what they want, good and hard, then they're about to get it, good and hard.

00:45:07.000 I don't know a single cop who's not thinking about quitting right now.

00:45:10.000 Every cop I know who is on a force is attempting to get off street duty.

00:45:13.000 Because why in the world would you be on street duty when you could go and save a black person's life and then be condemned in the media and consigned to the hell Of a country that turns on you and calls you emblematic of systemic racism for saving a black person's life.

00:45:30.000 For volunteering to take a job in which you are in the highest crime communities to save innocent black people. 0.97

00:45:35.000 You are now called a member of a systemically racist system.

00:45:41.000 You're about to see an explosion of crime.

00:45:42.000 You are.

00:45:43.000 And the consequences are not going to be, as I keep saying over and over, they won't be held by Ben Crump.

00:45:47.000 The consequences are not going to be held by Al Sharpton.

00:45:50.000 The consequences are never going to fall upon Wolf Blitzer at CNN or Jason Johnson over at MSNBC or Jonathan Capehart at the Washington Post.

00:45:56.000 Those consequences won't be felt by those people.

00:45:58.000 Those people are doing fine.

00:45:59.000 The consequences are going to be felt by people who live in high crime areas, who just want to live their lives, who just want to run their business, who do live in everyday fear of criminality.

00:46:08.000 Those people are the ones who pay the price.

00:46:09.000 Because maybe the most robust finding in social science, when you get rid of the cops, people die.

00:46:14.000 It's already happening.

00:46:15.000 Congressional Republicans right now, they should be pushing a bill to the floor right now for increased funding for the cops all over the country.

00:46:24.000 Because Democrats are certainly pursuing the opposite.

00:46:27.000 All right, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content coming up soon.
