00:01:40.000According to the UK Daily Mail, at least five people have been killed and 40 injured, including at least 12 children.
00:01:46.000After a speeding SUV plowed into a Christmas parade taking place in a suburban town near Milwaukee on Sunday, a red Ford Escape broke through barriers in Waukesha, Wisconsin around 4.40 p.m.
00:01:56.000as the parade was taking place, drove at speed through crowds, sending bodies flying as horrified families watched on helplessly.
00:02:02.000We're not going to show you the video because it really is pretty horrific and it doesn't add anything here.
00:02:06.000You can just see kids marching down the street and then this Ford SUV, which you can't really You have no idea why it's there.
00:02:22.000Chief Daniel Thompson said no motive had been established, but the officers are not discounting it terrorism.
00:02:26.000Officers are also looking into the possibility the suspect was fleeing an earlier incident involving a knife when he reached the parade, which would be unbelievable if this guy was involved in a knife crime and then was running from the cops and decided, hey, while I'm at it, I may as well run over a few school children.
00:02:40.000truly an act of evil. Thompson said one officer fired at the vehicle in an unsuccessful bid to stop it, with witnesses saying it sped along the parade route and did not slow down even as it hit a schoolgirls dance troupe and elderly members of the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies, along with families sitting by the side of the road. Dozens of pieces of footage ended up capturing the carnage, revealing the car traveled at least three blocks down the parade route before breaking through barriers and speeding away.
00:03:04.000A picture captured later at an unknown location showed what appeared to be the vehicle involved, backed onto a driveway with the hood badly dented and bent up.
00:03:10.000It's unclear how the vehicle came to be there.
00:03:12.000Police have not revealed exactly how the suspect was arrested.
00:03:18.000And there's lots of speculation at this point about the motive of this person, about whether this person was in fact involved in an earlier crime that day.
00:03:27.000I don't on this show talk about the identities of mass shooters or mass killers or terrorists.
00:03:31.000I do talk about who they are and what they did, but I don't reveal names on this show because we don't wish to inspire copycats or give attention to some of the worst people on earth.
00:03:40.000What we do know at this point is that this person does have a criminal record.
00:03:44.000He's a 39-year-old black male from Milwaukee County, a felon.
00:03:48.000And apparently, according to Wisconsin right now, Milwaukee, their court system, suspended his speedy trial rights due to court congestion.
00:03:55.000They released him on $500 bail, even though he was facing a serious weapons and other felony charge.
00:04:01.000Then, even though he was stocked with a string of new felony charges, he was released again on $1,000 bail three days before the parade massacre.
00:04:09.000This guy has a rap sheet as long as your arm.
00:04:12.000Milwaukee County has a really long backlog of criminal cases.
00:04:15.000And because of bail reform, this notion that if you are poor, you should not be held in jail because you can't pay the bail, so instead we'll release you onto the streets for a minimal amount of money, like $1,000.
00:04:25.000Now you have criminals who are back walking the streets, and this is a perfect case in point of that.
00:04:32.000According to Judge Mary Trigiano, we've taken this pandemic very seriously as well we should, including the variants, we're being very careful.
00:04:39.000This is with regard to the backlogs and the unwillingness to keep people in jail.
00:04:43.000So a lot of people who have been committing crimes, again, are back out on the streets.
00:04:50.000On social media, the suspect apparently showed animus toward police, posted unhappiness about the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict as well as George Floyd's death, quoted Malcolm X. We don't have a full motive at this point.
00:05:01.000What we do know is that this person should not have been on the street.
00:05:05.000Apparently, the Department of Justice criminal record history includes many of these arrests.
00:05:09.000Arrested in 1999 for a carry concealed weapon charge, In 1999 he was also arrested for aggravated battery, felony.
00:06:54.000After having been arrested, like, three days beforehand for bail jumping.
00:06:59.000So, the strategy, apparently, in Milwaukee County is somebody jumps bail, if you capture them, you should have them post-bail, which they will then jump.
00:07:11.000But this is part of a broader prosecutorial strategy that the left has imposed on major cities across the United States.
00:07:18.000You want to know one of the reasons why I've seen a major uptick in crime in major cities across the United States over the past few years?
00:07:23.000It's because prosecutorial strategy has changed dramatically.
00:07:27.000It's because people like George Soros have poured millions of dollars over the past seven, eight years into electing left-wing prosecutors across the country.
00:07:34.000We'll get to more of this in just one moment.
00:07:36.000First, let's talk about a simple fact.
00:08:53.000So remember, this sort of activity has been championed by the left.
00:08:57.000Prosecutions, prosecutors letting criminals out of jail.
00:09:01.000Jeffrey Toobin, who used to be more famous as a legal commentator, now he's more famous for not being able to keep his junk in his pants.
00:09:07.000He wrote a piece in 2015 for New Yorker magazine called The Milwaukee Experiment.
00:09:13.000What can one prosecutor do about the mass incarceration of African Americans?
00:09:17.000Quote, like many people in the criminal justice system, John Chisholm, the district attorney in Milwaukee County, has been concerned for a long time about the racial imbalance in American prisons.
00:09:26.000The issue is especially salient in Wisconsin, where African-Americans constitute only 6% of the population, but 37% of those in state prison.
00:09:33.000According to a study from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, as of 2010, 13% of the state's African-American men of working age were behind bars, nearly double the national average of 6.7%.
00:09:43.000The figures were especially stark for Milwaukee County, where more than half of African-American men in their 30s had served time in state prison.
00:09:50.000How, Chisholm wondered, did the work of his own office contribute to these numbers?
00:09:53.000Could a DA do anything to change them?
00:09:56.000Now, this is the part that's amazing, right?
00:09:57.000Because this is the animating philosophy behind so much of the Democratic Party these days.
00:10:01.000Is if a disproportionate number of people from a particular group are in jail, it must be because the system is evil and corrupt.
00:10:15.000It means that if you wish to have fewer black people in jail, You're going to have to either identify people who are innocent and shouldn't be in jail, or you're going to have to let criminals out of jail.
00:10:24.000People who supposedly need to be let out on bail after having jumped bail multiple times, which is apparently what happened in this particular case in Waukesha.
00:10:34.000Chisholm decided to let independent researchers examine how he used his prosecutorial discretion.
00:10:39.000Over several years, Chisholm allowed the researchers to question his staff members and look at their files.
00:10:45.000According to the Vera study, prosecutors in Milwaukee declined to prosecute 41% of whites arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia, compared with 27% of blacks, etc, etc, etc.
00:10:54.000So, Chisholm decided his office would undertake initiatives to try to send fewer people to prison while maintaining public safety.
00:11:00.000How's that going for you over there, John?
00:11:04.000By the way, if the case is that he's letting too many white people off, then arrest more white people who are criminals and put them in prison.
00:11:27.000Prosecutors should be judged on how the crime rates go down.
00:11:30.000That is the only thing prosecutors should be judged on.
00:11:32.000We have an adversarial system to protect defendants.
00:11:35.000It is not the job of prosecutors to determine whether mass incarceration is a thing or achieving quote unquote racial equality in outcomes is a thing.
00:11:54.000And there's a reason why I've seen a spiking murder rate in Milwaukee over the last couple of years.
00:11:59.000Chisholm's efforts have drawn attention across the country.
00:12:02.000Cyrus Vance, Manhattan District Attorney said, quote, John is a national leader in law enforcement because he is genuinely interested in trying to achieve the right results, not only in individual cases, but in larger policy issues as well. Chisholm reflects a growing national sentiment that the criminal justice system has failed African-Americans.
00:12:23.000The shtick for a very long time is that prosecutors of the left are doing a great job by evening out the numbers.
00:12:29.000That is the thing that means the most.
00:12:32.000He said the racial disparity spoke for itself, starting with the disparities in the state prison system.
00:12:37.000But there were very significant disparities in specific categories.
00:12:39.000The one that stood out the most was low-level drug offenders, possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia.
00:12:44.000There were clearly a disparate number of African-Americans being charged and processed for these offenses.
00:12:50.000He says, when I first saw the data, I thought, here is some good news.
00:12:55.000Because apparently it said that we charge white offenders for property crimes at a higher rate than we do black offenders for those kinds of cases.
00:13:01.000I thought, good, here's a disparity the other way around.
00:13:03.000But a deputy of mine pointed out what the data really meant was we devalue property crimes in the center city.
00:13:19.000So the entire basis for criminal justice in Wisconsin has been rooted, apparently, in this Michelle Alexander, New Jim Crow, if too many black people are in prison, it's because America is racist philosophy, as opposed to you're a prosecutor, lower the crime rate by arresting criminals who committed crimes.
00:13:34.000Again, if you want to make the case, these people are innocent.
00:13:36.000If you want to make this case, these people shouldn't be in jail.
00:13:38.000Make the case they shouldn't be in jail.
00:13:40.000But you can't make the case they shouldn't be in jail when they are criminals.
00:13:43.000And you shouldn't be allowing them to roam the streets ramming cars into children because you want to establish racial equity.
00:14:27.000According to the Medical College of Wisconsin, there have been 941 victims In homicides by firearm, homicides by non-firearm, or non-fatal shootings in Wisconsin in 2020.
00:14:40.000Okay, that is a jump from 542 in 2019.
00:14:58.000We'll get to more of that in just one second.
00:15:00.000First, let's talk about the fact that there are 10 million job openings, but only about 7 million unemployed job seekers.
00:15:06.000So if you are a person who's seeking to hire, you really need to make sure that your job gets seen by the right people.
00:15:11.000Employers are having to go above and beyond to entice people to want to work for them.
00:15:15.000They're offering pet insurance and legal services and providing identity theft protection.

00:16:08.000Okay, so as I say, this is a broad strategy by the left, okay, and it's financed by people like George Soros.
00:16:14.000I know that the media want you never to say George Soros' name because it's supposedly anti-Semitic to point out that George Soros funds wild left-wing causes.
00:16:37.000Politico reported back in 2016, quote, George Soros's quiet overhaul of the US justice system.
00:16:44.000Quote, while America's political kingmakers inject their millions into high-profile presidential and congressional contests, Democratic mega-donor George Soros has directed his wealth into an under-the-radar 2016 campaign to advance one of the progressive movement's core goals, reshaping the American justice system.
00:16:59.000The billionaire financier has channeled more than $3 million into seven local district attorney campaigns in six states over the past year, a sum that exceeds the total spent on the 2016 presidential campaign by all but a handful of rival super-donors.
00:17:14.000His money has supported African-American and Hispanic candidates for these local, powerful roles, all of whom ran on platforms sharing major goals with Soros, like reducing racial disparities in sentencing, directing some drug offenders to diversion programs instead of to trial.
00:17:26.000It is by far the most tangible action in a progressive push to find, prepare, and finance criminal justice reform-oriented candidates for jobs that have been held by longtime incumbents and serve as pipelines to the federal courts.
00:17:38.000Andrea Du Steel, president of Emerge America, a candidate training organization for democratic women, says the prosecutor exercises the greatest discretion and power in the system.
00:18:32.000This is an article from July of this year.
00:18:35.000Quote, Politico, four wealthy donors fuel overhaul of California's criminal justice system.
00:18:41.000The social justice movement has never lacked for energy.
00:18:43.000Last year's police killing of George Floyd sparked waves of support for BLM.
00:18:47.000Progressive donors in recent years have strategically targeted prosecutor races in major cities because district attorneys wield power over sentencing and investigations.
00:18:55.000In California, social justice advocates are preparing to defend the state's top prosecutor, Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is closely aligned with the reform movement and was one of the nation's most liberal AGs.
00:19:07.000The last 10 years has been the biggest shift I've seen in terms of philanthropic interest in this issue, says Lenore Anderson, who heads Californians for Safety and Justice.
00:19:15.000When you have that shift, the door is open because you're with the Winds of Change.
00:19:20.000In California, few causes get far without a pile of money.
00:19:23.000Ford donors Patty Quillen, Quinn Delaney, Elizabeth Simons, and Kaitlyn Krieger channeled $22 million toward criminal justice ballot measures and allied candidates the previous two years.
00:19:33.000Their campaign contributions have steadily increased each election cycle.
00:19:36.000They spent $3.7 million alone to elect George Goscon, who rode the social justice wave that swept over America last summer, to unseat incumbent LADA Jackie Lacey in November.
00:19:48.000Gascon, by the way, has then proceeded to completely wreck the city of Los Angeles even worse than it was by failing to prosecute criminals.
00:19:55.000Quillen is a philanthropist and the wife of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.
00:19:59.000Simons is a former teacher and daughter of hedge fund billionaire and philanthropist James Simons.
00:20:04.000Krieger and her husband, Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger, run a criminal justice nonprofit.
00:20:10.000And of course, George Soros has given some money here as well.
00:20:14.000In 2018, an organization funded by Soros supplied the most money for the California DA races.
00:20:21.000And by the way, this is exactly how San Francisco ended up with Chesa Bowden in San Francisco.
00:20:30.000Bowden is a wild left prosecutor in San Francisco.
00:20:34.000And because Bowden is wild left, you end up with scenes like this.
00:20:37.000So over the weekend, 80 looters simultaneously broke into a Nordstrom near San Francisco Here's a little bit of the video.
00:20:47.000You can see some of the doors and windows of that Louis Vuitton store smashed, glass littering the sidewalk.
00:20:53.000Several streets surrounding Union Square had to be blocked off and still are.
00:20:57.000According to a police source, this began as a smash and grab, then turned into a robbery a little after 8 p.m.
00:21:02.000I spoke to one witness who says that more than a dozen people could be seen running out of the store, clinging to merchandise and hauling as much as they could.
00:21:11.000Uh, at one point, SFPD officers could be seen surrounding a grey convertible Mustang with one patrol car blocking it.
00:21:19.000Several officers taking their batons to smash out the windows.
00:21:23.000Source telling us that at least one person inside that car had to be taken to the hospital.
00:21:27.000Okay, so people just showing up at Louis Vuitton?
00:21:33.000Just like taking the entire place down.
00:21:35.000According to the Washington Post, drivers blared their horns Saturday evening as dozens of thieves carrying luggage and bags darted from a Nordstrom department store near San Francisco and hopped into cars waiting for them outside.
00:21:46.000All but three of the 80 or so looters escaped, police said.
00:21:50.000One was pepper sprayed by the intruders, according to officers in Walnut Creek.
00:21:53.000That's a city about 25 miles east of San Francisco.
00:21:57.000The spectacle Saturday night was one of several incidents of looting and shoplifting reported at high-end retail stores around the Bay Area over the weekend.
00:22:04.000So the Friday night Louis Vuitton hit, that was in Union Square.
00:22:07.000On Sunday night, officers in Hayward, about a 30-minute drive from San Francisco, were investigating after a group of smash-and-grab burglars destroyed glass cabinets and stole merchandise from a mall jewelry store.
00:22:18.000Chase Abowden, one of these lefties elected by George Soros' money, said, these crimes are happening around the Bay and across the country.
00:22:25.000I stand in partnership with our local, regional, state, and federal partners as we work together to do whatever it takes to keep you safe, except for arresting criminals and keeping them in jail.
00:22:33.000Because we obviously wouldn't want an unequal number of black and white people in jail.
00:22:38.000Forget about who's committing the crimes.
00:22:40.000The only thing that matters is that we have an equitable distribution of convictions.
00:22:52.000How many people have to die for the equity vision?
00:22:54.000Really, how many criminals have to be put out on the streets because of the vision of equity?
00:22:58.000Because of the lie that if too many people of one particular race end up in prison because too many people of one particular race are committing crimes, this is because the system itself is racist.
00:23:07.000You can make the argument there's too much crime in particular demographics because of history and the racism of history, but making the argument the system itself is responsible right now for too many black people looting Louis Vuitton is ridiculous.
00:23:20.000It's ridiculous on its face and it ends with more crime and more people being harmed.
00:23:24.000Particularly, by the way, more people in the black community as a generality.
00:23:29.000There are consequences to the narrative the left puts out and those consequences are incredibly dire.
00:23:35.000We'll get to more on this in just one second.
00:23:37.000First, let's talk about a simple truth.
00:23:40.000The simple truth is that you need to sleep at night.
00:23:43.000So, I gotta admit, got some stuff going on right now that's keeping me awake at night.
00:23:48.000But, when I finally am able to calm down enough to sleep, it's mainly because I have a great set of sheets.
00:23:56.000This Cyber Week, Bull & Branch is offering their best deal of the entire year.

00:24:47.000That's 25% off at B-O-L-L and branch.com.
00:24:53.000So, meanwhile, it is part of this broader narrative that the left has suggested that everything they don't like in America is due to racism.
00:25:02.000Which means the cure is never going to be a cure, just as the problem of too many people going to jail in the black community is not a problem of the system itself being racist.
00:25:11.000It is a problem with too many people committing crimes.
00:25:13.000It turns out a great way to avoid jail is not to commit crimes.
00:25:16.000I know this is really, really difficult and complex stuff, but Suffice it to say, if you don't smash and grab at Louis Vuitton, you're not going to get arrested for smashing and grabbing in Louis Vuitton as a general rule.
00:25:25.000Again, none of these prosecutors are letting people off because they think they're innocent.
00:25:29.000They're letting them off because they believe that there are too many black people in prison.
00:25:35.000Justice has to be done on the basis of what you do, not on the basis of what a prosecutor feels about the state of play with regard to racial disparities in the United States.
00:27:14.000The prosecutors said deputies did announce they were there.
00:27:16.000They say Coffey then fired at the deputies and they returned fire.
00:27:20.000Coffey was found guilty on account of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, which could have a penalty of up to 30 years in prison, but he was found not guilty in the murder of Woods.
00:27:30.000The Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers released a statement saying it's disappointing this jury did not see the tragic death of Alterior Woods occurred as a direct result of the actions of Andrew Coffey IV.
00:27:38.000Again, apparently what happened is that they announced themselves, he got up, he fired at the cops, and he shot his girlfriend in the process, and he was not convicted of that.
00:27:49.000I was informed in the United States this means that he would definitely go to jail, especially if he was innocent.
00:27:53.000Hey, meanwhile, again, same weekend, a white Missouri police detective was found guilty on Friday in the death of a black man who was fatally shot in 2019 as he sat in a pickup truck outside his home.
00:28:05.000Judge J. Dale Youngs ruled that the detective Eric J. DeValcaneri of the Kansas City Police Department had no reason to go to the property of Cameron Lamb, 26, who was shot twice as he was backing into his garage on December 3rd, 2019.
00:28:16.000The detective and another detective had driven to Mr. Lamb's house after receiving a report about a traffic accident involving a truck that Lamb was driving.
00:28:25.000They didn't have reason to believe a crime had been committed when they rushed into Lamb's backyard and confronted him.
00:28:31.000The prosecutors also suggested that the police had planted evidence at the scenes to make it look as if Lam had a gun.
00:28:37.000The judge rejected the detective's claim he believed Lam was going to shoot his partner and convicted the officer of second-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action that carries a charge of three years in prison.
00:28:48.000The detective and his partner, he is white, they said that they were initial aggressors in the encounter with Cameron Lam on December 3rd, 2019, according to Judge Youngs.
00:28:59.000And, uh, the detective was also suspended without pay, pending termination after the decision, of course.
00:29:06.000So, what happened to America is systemically racist, but the narrative must be maintained, because again, if the narrative is not maintained, this might mean that we might treat people as individuals, and we might jail criminals, and we might hold people accountable for their own actions.
00:29:20.000because they need to reshape all of society along the lines that equity can be achieved only by alleviating all disparities, even if those disparities are due to individual actions that falls disproportionately within groups.
00:29:33.000Okay, so the aftermath of the trial happened over the weekend.
00:29:37.000Kyle Rittenhouse, here is his reaction to being acquitted last week.
00:29:40.000The jury reached the correct verdict, self-defense is not illegal.
00:29:47.000And I believe they came to the correct verdict and I'm glad that everything went well.
00:29:53.000It's been a rough journey, but we made it through it.
00:29:55.000Hey, meanwhile, Rittenhouse's attorney said that if he had to do it again, he wouldn't go.
00:30:02.000Everybody wants Kyle to show some contrition and say he's sorry.
00:30:21.000What happened, happened, and we have to live in the real world, not what we wish happened.
00:30:28.000So the important thing is the media reaction to this, because the media drive the narrative.
00:30:32.000And if that narrative is that America is a deeply racist place and every incident they will just lie about in order to reinforce that narrative, that drives bad policymaking decisions by the public.
00:30:41.000Because if you believe that America is a deeply racist place and that disparities in, for example, criminal populations between black and white are solely due to American racism, you're more likely to elect a progressive prosecutor who puts criminals back out on the street in the name of equity.
00:30:55.000And the media are just botching this story, and they're not just botching it.
00:30:58.000I mean, because, remember, this story is over.
00:31:01.000We've known all the facts in this case for a year, but we really know them now because the case is over, and we saw all the evidence presented at trial by the prosecution.
00:31:27.000There's a paper in the UK that reported that Kyle Rittenhouse had shot three black people.
00:31:31.000All three of the people he shot were white.
00:31:34.000Meanwhile, you have MSNBC's Tiffany Cross going on national television and calling Rittenhouse a quote, little murderous white supremacist.
00:31:42.000The fact that white supremacists roam the halls of Congress freely and celebrate this little murderous white supremacist and the fact that he gets to walk the streets freely, it lets you know these people have access to instituting laws.
00:31:54.000They represent the legislative branch of this country.
00:32:18.000To preserve all of her papers and all of this.
00:32:20.000Meanwhile, CNN's Van Jones says we now have a pattern of white vigilantes.
00:32:23.000Again, the narrative must be upheld at all costs.
00:32:26.000It is very important for the left to uphold this narrative.
00:32:29.000This idea of white vigilante violence is something that we have to wrestle with, and it may not be done in one single court case, but we've got a pattern now.
00:32:41.000Where white men feel that they have the right to enforce the law themselves.
00:32:46.000When you look at Ahmaud Arbery, when you look at this case, when you look at Trayvon Martin, when you look at the white mob that attacked the Capitol, that somehow there is a group of people that think that they have the right to take the law into their own hands, they can leave their home with guns, and they can enforce their vision of the law on other people.
00:33:08.000He was not enforcing his vision of the law on other people.
00:33:10.000He literally shot these people in self-defense.
00:33:28.000It's not OK for a man to grab a rifle, travel across state lines, and shoot free people and then walk free.
00:33:39.000It's not okay for the judicial system to be blatantly and obviously stacked against people of color. It's not okay for there to be an entirely different set of rules for white people.
00:35:02.000The left only wants to talk about January 6th, this notion, the idea that democracy is about to be overthrown.
00:35:08.000Every major institution in American life is lying to you right now about cases like Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:35:12.000Every major institution in American life is lying to you about criminality.
00:35:15.000Every major institution in American life is willing to twist the fact and falsify the fact and then to penalize you if you refuse to go along with it.
00:35:23.000To suspend you if you refuse to go along with it.
00:35:25.000To fire you if you refuse to go along with it.
00:35:28.000You will be plunking that Black Lives Matter sign down on your lawn or you will lose your job.
00:35:33.000You will definitely not express any support for Kyle Rittenhouse's defense.
00:36:38.000We come together, says Mark Ruffalo, to mourn the lives lost to the same racist system that devalues black lives and devalued the lives of Anthony and Jojo.

00:41:38.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:41:41.000All righty, so all of this is a mirror for the Democratic Intersectional Coalition politics.
00:41:51.000Remember, for the Democratic Party, the biggest thing to know about the Democratic Party over the last 10 years is that they believe in their heart that 2012 is the coalition.
00:42:00.000It is the winning coalition, and 2012 was a coalition of racial minorities and college-educated white liberals and everybody else.
00:42:22.000In 2016, they did really, really poorly.
00:42:24.000In 2020, they won because Donald Trump was not popular by the poll numbers, but they did not do great in the House, and they didn't do unbelievably well in the Senate.
00:42:34.000And now they're about to get their asses kicked in 2022, but they have to keep doubling down on stupid.
00:42:39.000They must double down on the intersectional coalition politics, which means they are going to continue to take cases like Kyle Rittenhouse, and they're going to continue to trumpet that America is racist because of them.
00:42:49.000Now, you got to wonder at a certain point why the left keeps choosing cases that are bad.
00:42:53.000They choose the Jacob Blake case and they just lie about it.
00:42:56.000Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both got in touch with Jacob Blake and his family, even though Jacob Blake was an alleged rapist who had resisted arrest with a knife.
00:43:04.000They continue to claim that Michael Brown was an innocent black man who was shot by the cops for no reason, when Eric Holder's own DOJ found that's not the truth, Ferguson Grand Jury found that's not the truth.
00:43:15.000They pick cases, specifically, where they are in the wrong, because if they can make you believe that, they can make you believe anything.
00:43:32.000But will you mimic their talking points anyway?
00:43:36.000Will you maintain their talking points anyway?
00:43:38.000If so, then you are a member of the cult, and therefore off-limits, and you've bought your freedom.
00:43:43.000And if you are unwilling to do that, well, then they will come after you.
00:43:46.000So the DCCC, for example, put out a statement in the aftermath of the Rittenhouse verdict And the statement is just insane.
00:43:52.000saying. Here's what the original statement said. Quote, It's disgusting and disturbing that someone was able to carry a loaded assault rifle into a protest against the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man, and take the lives of two people and injure another and face absolutely no consequences. It is clear our legal system has one set of rules for some Americans and very different standards for others.
00:44:13.000They are right to be outraged at the violence that disproportionately hurts people of color and the legal system that fails to hold the violent accountable.
00:44:18.000Okay, you may notice, can you spot the error here?
00:44:20.000I mean, there are several, but can you spot the error?
00:44:23.000Go back to the first slide for a second.
00:44:24.000Okay, the error is this, in case you missed it.
00:44:30.000Unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man.
00:44:43.000So Joe Biden's original statement about the Rittenhouse trial, when he was asked, his instinct originally was, well, you know, the jury reached its verdict and really it's none of my business, which is the correct instinct for the president of the United States.
00:44:53.000Then his people got to him and they said, you need to appeal to the intersectional coalition.
00:44:58.000You need to say that America's racist, Mr. President.
00:45:00.000And Joe Biden said, So he had just come out of a colonoscopy where they had to remove his head from his ass just so they could get a good look inside his colon.
00:45:09.000And then he immediately shoved his head directly back up his ass and issued this statement, quote, while the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge the jury has spoken.
00:45:22.000I ran on a promise to bring Americans together because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.
00:45:27.000I know we're not going to heal our country's wounds overnight, but I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power.
00:45:45.000And what you're supposed to take away from this is that the verdict is bad, obviously.
00:45:49.000Hey guys, well it was a good trip and I have questions about the verdict and the verdict really speaks for itself.
00:45:56.000As many of you know, I've spent a majority of my career working to make the criminal justice system more equitable and clearly there's a lot more work to do.
00:46:07.000Oh yeah, by the way, if you believe that one, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to tell you.
00:46:10.000That she worked to make the criminal justice system more equitable?
00:46:12.000You'll recall Tulsi Gabbard finishing her on that in a presidential debate by pointing out that she'd locked up a hell of a lot of black people while smoking pot herself, apparently.
00:46:44.000The jury pool question is a real question that we must embrace in a way in which we increase the number of people who register to vote and willing to serve on juries.
00:47:14.000So who's Emmett Till in this little analogy?
00:47:16.000Would that be the child molester attempting to attack a minor, or would that be the career criminal attempting to attack a minor with a skateboard, or would it be the guy who's approaching with a gun?
00:47:24.000Which one of those is like Emmett Till, exactly?
00:47:28.000Meanwhile, Al Sharpton, who, again, the fact that Al Sharpton is taken seriously in American public life is evidence that America is not only not systemically racist, that if it is systemically racist, it's Sometimes in the reverse direction.
00:47:38.000Al Sharpton is a cretin and Al Sharpton is a man who is responsible for some of the worst racial conflagrations in American history.
00:47:46.000Here's Al Sharpton talking about this case, saying vigilantes can kill.
00:47:49.000Well, I mean, I guess it's at least he's not outside of Freddy's Fashion Mart shouting about the Jews.
00:47:54.000So I guess that's an upgrade, I suppose.
00:47:57.000They have said now that vigilantes can go to protests and kill people and say that they were defending themselves, which puts all Americans, particularly those that want to protest for whatever issue, in danger.
00:48:17.000Meanwhile, Cori Bush, the BLM congresswoman from Missouri, she tweeted out the judge, the jury, the defendant, it's white supremacy in action.
00:49:35.000This is all part and parcel of the broader narrative, right?
00:49:37.000The broader narrative, as always, is that America is systemically racist and that comes with consequences.
00:49:45.000Okay, so you know that the entire Intersectional coalition is predicated on the ideology of intersectionalism, which essentially suggests that there is a hierarchy of victimization in American life and that people who are members of multiple victim groups have higher and better status to speak about the issues than other people.
00:50:05.000So at the top of the victimology hierarchy right now are LGBTQ people, followed by black people, followed by Hispanic people.
00:50:13.000Native Americans are somewhere in there as well.
00:50:16.000Asian Americans, depends on whether we're talking about them as a member of the coalition or whether they're trying to get into college.
00:50:20.000If they're trying to get into college, then they're down at the bottom of the intersectional hierarchy with white people.
00:50:28.000You move up and down in the intersectional coalition based on whether or not you are successful in American life.
00:50:32.000The less successful a group is, economically speaking and socio-economically speaking, the more they are quote-unquote victimized by the system.
00:50:39.000And if you are an individual from one of those groups who is successful, we just don't consider you part of that group anymore.
00:50:43.000So if you are a Nigerian American who is highly successful in the United States, you don't count as black anymore or you are white adjacents or something.
00:50:50.000It is according to the intersectional system.
00:50:53.000And the broader ideology here is the Democratic Party platform.
00:50:59.000All of its institutions are corrupt and terrible.
00:51:03.000So it is no surprise to see Kimberly Crenshaw, the founder of intersectionality, the person who coined this term, in a Law Review article that actually was not as crazy as her ideology would later become, she tweeted out, Acquitted.
00:51:33.000Because again, the idea from Kimberly Crenshaw and company is that America is systemically racist, and that's why Kyle Rittenhouse got off for shooting three white guys.
00:51:44.000So, Nicole Hannah-Jones has been championed as a great American thinker, which is insane considering that, again, I just don't think she's particularly smart.
00:52:06.000So she tweeted out, quote, In this country, you can even kill white people and get away with it if those white people are fighting for black lives.
00:52:14.000So the legacy of 1619 is apparently that if you shoot an alleged child molester, not alleged, convicted child molester who's shouting the N-word, that's the legacy of 1619.
00:52:25.000Okay, and then she goes further, right?
00:52:27.000Somebody tweeted back at her, Viola Liuzzo and James Reeb can testify to that, said Schwerner and Goodman down the line.
00:52:32.000Okay, so now she's comparing the people who attacked Kyle Rittenhouse to civil rights activists who were murdered in the American South during the civil rights movement.
00:52:42.000And so Kyle Rittenhouse can shoot them because they were quote-unquote pro-Black Lives Matter.
00:52:49.000And, by the way, it's now being taught in American schools, as we all know.
00:52:53.000This is part and parcel of the entire Critical Race Theory Project.
00:52:58.000Carlos Lozada, over at the Washington Post, says, quote, the 1619 Project, which is written by Nicole Hannah-Jones, created by Nicole Hannah-Jones, it's a piece of pseudo-history, it is a lie.
00:53:10.000He says, the 1619 Project started as history.
00:54:05.000Together, these elements form a powerful and memorable work, one that launched a seismic national debate over the legacy of slavery and enduring racial injustice in American life.
00:54:13.000It is also a work with a variety of competing impulses, ones that at times can confuse and conflict.
00:54:21.000This is evident in the 1619 Project, A New Origin Story, a book that softens at some of the edges of the prior magazine collection, but transcends its original mission as a historical corrective, informing readers what they now must do or else risk personal complicity in the painful story they have just been told.
00:54:52.000The project's broadsheet declares that the goal of the 1619 project is to reframe American history, making explicit that slavery is the foundation on which this country is built.
00:55:04.000The new book version offers a few interpretations of the overall effort.
00:55:09.000Nikole Hannah-Jones tries to buy back the idea that this is a sole history of America, but she says it's still truer than the history that we have known.
00:55:19.000Okay, but this is an activist, it's an activist angle.
00:55:37.000They want you to believe that every disparity in American life is rooted in a history of American racism maintained by the systems that currently prevail in the United States.
00:55:48.000Again, the agenda here is absolutely clear.
00:55:53.000And they're not going to stop with the agenda.
00:55:56.000And it's not just, by the way, people on the right who are noticing this.
00:55:59.000John McWhorter, who is a member of the center-left, I think it would be fair to say, writing for the New York Times.
00:56:04.000He has a piece in the New York Times today.
00:56:06.000I just don't know how long John's going to last over there.
00:56:10.000We're routinely asked to use leftist fictions.
00:56:14.000And he points out that this is what the left does.
00:56:16.000They create fictions and then they force you to repeat them.
00:56:20.000He says, These days an aroma of delusion lingers, with ideas presented to us from a supposedly brave new world that is, in reality, patently nonsensical.
00:56:29.000Yet we are expected to pretend otherwise.
00:56:31.000To point out the nakedness of the emperor is the height of impropriety.
00:56:34.000I suspect the sheer degree to which we are asked to engage in this assimilation will go down as the hallmark of the era.
00:56:40.000Do you believe a commitment to diversity should be crucial to the evaluation of a candidate for a physics professorship?
00:56:45.000Do you believe it's mission critical for doctors to describe people in danger of contracting certain diseases not as vulnerable or disadvantaged, but as oppressed or made vulnerable or disenfranchised?
00:56:56.000Do you believe that being diverse does not make an applicant to a selective college or university more likely to be admitted?
00:57:02.000In some circles these days, you're supposed to say you do.
00:57:05.000And McWhorter points out that there are now physics positions that are being listed at San Diego State University asking for people to show engagement to service with underrepresented populations within the discipline.
00:57:19.000To have demonstrated knowledge of barriers for underrepresented students and faculty.
00:57:23.000Okay, studying how objects move through space.
00:57:28.000Meanwhile, the AMA has released a guide, the American Medical Association, that urges practitioners to employ a left-leaning glossary in pursuit of public health equity.
00:57:39.000You're supposed to use equity-focused language that acknowledges root causes.
00:57:44.000Like, instead of saying that low-income people have a high level of coronary artery disease, you're supposed to say, quote, People underpaid and forced into poverty as a result of banking policies, real estate developers gentrifying neighborhoods, and corporations weakening the power of labor movements, among others, have the highest level of coronary artery disease in the United States.
00:58:14.000It's going to destroy them on the ballot.
00:58:18.000The intersectional coalition will not hold.
00:58:19.000It turns out black people like crime to be outside the city.
00:58:23.000They don't want to be subjected to crime.
00:58:25.000They don't care if more black criminals go to jail so long as they are not victimized by black criminals or white criminals or any other criminals.
00:58:32.000It turns out that Latino people don't wish to be called Latinx.
00:58:53.000They demand that you mirror whatever their priorities are.
00:58:57.000And not only that, that you then use the power of law to enshrine their priorities, to reinforce, to cement those priorities.
00:59:05.000That you not only believe their bullcrap equity narrative, but that you elect progressive prosecutors who are going to let people out on $1,000 bail to mow down children in a car.
00:59:14.000Because racial equity is what matters.
00:59:17.000This is what the left wants out of the world.
00:59:21.000And if the left wants it, they are going to get it.
00:59:23.000And they're going to get it good and hard.
00:59:25.000Ross Dudat has a good piece in the New York Times today titled The Diminishing Democratic Majority.
00:59:30.000He says, if you're a Democrat right now, you can tell yourself a reasonably optimistic story, even in the face of disastrous midterm polling about what the world after 2021 looks like for your party.
00:59:40.000In this hopeful scenario, inflation is a challenge for a year but not a decade.
00:59:43.000Much of the simmering public discontent with the Biden administration reflects an exhaustion with COVID-era abnormalcy.
00:59:51.000That would be enough to win Democrats back most of the political advantages they've lost in the last year and go back to worrying about the Electoral College.
00:59:58.000But the more pessimistic scenario is one in which most of these hopes come to pass and others too, but it doesn't help them.
01:00:05.000Hey, this is the emerging Republican majority scenario, says Ross Douthat, in which it turns out two of the big political migrations of the Trump era, affluent suburbanites turning more Democratic, working-class whites and then Latinos turning more Republican.
01:00:17.000It turns out the first was temporary and provisional, and the second one is permanent and accelerating.
01:00:22.000In this possible future, it will become clear Glenn Youngkin's result in Virginia was a bellwether.
01:00:26.000There are a lot of suburban voters who will vote for a moderate-seeming Democrat over the Trumpiest Republican, but they'll swing back to the GOP if there's any excuse to do so.
01:00:35.000A lot of Obama to Trump voters in real white America or in Latino areas of Florida and Texas are culturally alienated from contemporary progressivism, which would mean that after Biden, liberals should expect a deluge.
01:00:47.000So if Republicans can hold themselves back from being stupid, which is always a major question, then Democrats are set to reap the whirlwind.
