00:01:35.000Okay, so the news of the day is that Rochester officers are not going to be charged in the death of Daniel Prude.
00:01:41.000So you may remember the Daniel Prude case.
00:01:43.000It was another one of these cases where the tape looks really unpleasant, but the reality is that the officers are almost certainly not responsible for the death of Daniel Prude.
00:01:54.000It created riots during the Black Lives Matter Situation during the summer in Rochester, particularly this came out kind of late in the summer.
00:02:03.000Because originally, Daniel Prude died in March, but then the tape didn't come out until a couple of months later.
00:02:07.000It became just another one of the names that is listed in the litany of people who are supposedly murdered by the police.
00:02:13.000Many of those names don't belong on that list.
00:02:17.000He's not dead, but he was put on the list.
00:02:19.000He was responsible for the riots in Kenosha.
00:02:20.000It turned out that he had a knife in his hand when he was refusing to obey the orders of officers.
00:02:27.000It turns out not all of these cases are exactly the same, and Daniel Prude falls into the category of a case where it is absolutely unclear that the officers killed him.
00:02:35.000In fact, the evidence tends to show the opposite.
00:02:37.000According to the New York Times, on a snowy night last March, Daniel Prude sprinted shirtless out of his brother's home in Rochester, New York, seemingly in the grip of a psychotic episode, distraught, his brother called police for help.
00:02:47.000Instead, the officers handcuffed Mr. Prude, placed a mesh hood over his head, and pressed him into the pavement until he lost consciousness.
00:02:52.000Okay, now that is a wild exaggeration of the actual chain of events.
00:04:30.000The autopsy said that he was experiencing excited delirium, which is a condition that often follows heavy drug use.
00:04:35.000Similar autopsy report was made about, for example, George Floyd in Minneapolis.
00:04:40.000The autopsy tends to show that he did not die as a direct result of the officer's pressure in that particular case, that he was high on fentanyl at the time.
00:04:48.000Something similar happened here with Daniel Prude, according to the best available scientific reports.
00:04:53.000According to the New York Times, Miss James, Letitia James, who is the Attorney General of the State of New York, she said she was extremely disappointed with the grand jury, which is always a good move.
00:05:04.000It's always a good move when you have officers of the law saying they are disappointed with the workings of the law.
00:05:09.000In any case, on Tuesday, the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, announced none of the officers who arrested Prude would face charges in connection with his death.
00:05:15.000A grand jury convened by James to investigate the case declined to charge any of the seven officers on the scene that night with a crime.
00:05:21.000If she has a way that people can escape dying from excited delirium, I would love to hear it.
00:05:24.000law enforcement officers accountable in the unjustified killing of African-Americans.
00:05:29.000What binds these cases is the tragic loss of life and circumstances in which the death could have been avoided.
00:05:34.000If she has a way that people can escape dying from excited delirium, I would love to hear it.
00:05:39.000In an unusual move, the Monroe County Court Judge Karen Bailey Turner on Tuesday evening granted the attorney general's request to release minutes related to the grand jury's investigation records that are generally protected under seal.
00:06:06.000You'll remember that it was Eric Holder's DOJ that refused to indict George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, for example.
00:06:12.000On Tuesday evening, a crowd of about 150 people marched through the city denouncing the grand jury decision and the system that made it possible.
00:06:20.000You mean like trial by jury and grand jury process and due process of law, that system?
00:06:28.000According to the New York Times, after body camera video of Mr. Prude's death became public in the fall, his name now joined a now familiar list of black people killed during interactions with police, including George Floyd, whose death in Minneapolis led to months of demonstrations nationwide.
00:06:40.000Particularly unsettling in the case of Mr. Prude were images of him in a hood reminiscent of the ones used in lynching of black people.
00:06:57.000which is a mesh hood that you can breathe through.
00:06:59.000The Rochester Police Locust Club, which is the union that represents the city's 700 law enforcement officers, declined to comment on the grand jury's decision.
00:07:08.000Naturally, Letitia James suggested that there had to be sweeping reforms in how the police interact with and are trained to deal with people in emotional distress.
00:07:17.000Buried in this article from the New York Times are the actual circumstances here.
00:07:21.000Mr. Prude, 41, lived in Chicago but had been visiting his brother in Rochester.
00:07:26.000Friends said that before his death, Mr. Prude had begun to rely more heavily on the drug PCP.
00:07:30.000This is one of the more dangerous drugs known to man.
00:07:33.000Known as angel dust, it can cause erratic behavior.
00:07:35.000He began to use drugs, they said, to cope with the 2018 death by suicide of his nephew with whom he had lived.
00:07:40.000The day before the episode, his brother, Joe, had him hospitalized at Strong Memorial Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, but he was sent home hours later.
00:07:47.000So if you're gonna put blame anywhere, it ought to be with the psychiatric hospital that released this guy.
00:07:52.000Because by the next night, he was out on the street, wandering around naked in the snow and shouting at police officers that he wanted their gun and that he had COVID while trying to spit at them.
00:08:00.000Just hours after returning from the hospital on March 23rd, Mr. Prude suddenly burst from his brother's home and ran into the night.
00:08:06.000Fearful for his safety, his brother called 911.
00:08:09.000And people obviously fear the police so much that they call 911 when they have a problem, worried Prude might inadvertently harm himself or run across nearby train tracks.
00:08:16.000Police who answered the call found Prude naked and reported he had told at least one passerby he had COVID.
00:08:20.000When they apprehended him, he began spitting, and the officers responded by pulling the mesh hood over his head.
00:08:25.000When he tried to rise, the officers forced Mr. Prude face down on the ground.
00:08:28.000One of them pushed his head to the pavement.
00:08:37.000Okay, now again, the reality of the autopsy is that he likely died of his drug intake and excited delirium, which is a condition that often follows heavy drug use.
00:08:46.000One of the symptoms of excited delirium is that you feel overheated, which might be one of the reasons why he shed all of his clothes in the middle of the night in Rochester when it was freezing outside and snowing.
00:08:56.000A deputy police chief in Rochester wrote in a June 4th email to his supervisor saying, we certainly do not want people to misinterpret the officer's actions and conflate this incident with any recent killings of unarmed black men by law enforcement nationally. That would simply be a false narrative and could create animosity and potentially violent blowback in the community as a result. The New York Times interpreted that letter as an attempted coverup, as opposed to the police saying, you guys are going to misinterpret the tape, and then everybody going and misinterpreting the tape. Late last year, the city's office of public
00:09:25.000integrity apparently concluded no wrongdoing had been committed by any city employee.
00:10:17.000I have some poll statistics that are absolutely stunning that I'm going to show you in just one second.
00:10:22.000First, Let us talk about the fact a lot is happening at your front door these days.
00:10:25.000You got a lot of people dropping off packages.
00:10:26.000You have people maybe working on your house.

00:10:52.000I have Ring devices on my house because not only are there a lot of people who are constantly coming in and out of the house, but also I have three kids.
00:10:59.000It's very difficult to keep an eye on all three kids when I have but two eyes, and they only go in the same direction.
00:11:03.000So that means that I need more eyes on my kids.

00:11:28.000The impact of the coverage of the media in cases like Daniel Prude's, the suggestion that this is a grave miscarriage of justice by Letitia James.
00:11:35.000This has an impact on how people think about racism in the United States.
00:11:40.000So there's a poll done by Skeptic Magazine, and they surveyed people of various political persuasions on a simple question.
00:11:47.000How many black men in America, unarmed, were killed by police in 2019?
00:11:52.000Right, that is a simple objective question.
00:11:54.000How many people, how many black men who are unarmed were killed by the police in 2019?
00:11:59.000Now, the actual statistic, so you know, ranges based on the Washington Post.
00:12:04.000There are other reports that suggest higher.
00:12:10.000And you would know that if you listen to shows like this one because we actually focus in on the data.
00:12:13.000We actually talk about the fact that in a country with 40 million black Americans, black Americans are not a genocidal existential risk from law enforcement.
00:12:22.000But folks on the left like to promulgate that narrative.
00:12:23.000In fact, that narrative is so unbelievably popular that you had literally 10 to 25 million people in the streets repeating the lie that America's police are systemically racist over the summer.
00:12:33.000And you had some of those people going and burning down the local neighborhood.
00:12:38.000So here is how Americans, how many Americans believe Black men were killed by the police, unarmed, in 2019.
00:12:47.000And there's a serious differential in terms of political persuasion here.
00:12:51.000So, if you are very conservative, you know not very many black men are killed, unarmed, by the police.
00:12:57.000In fact, 46% of very conservative people knew that the answer is about 10.
00:13:02.000Another 34% of very conservative Americans said that the answer was about 100.
00:13:06.000Okay, so that's at least somewhat close, right?
00:13:11.000A grand total of approximately 20% of very conservative people overall thought that over 1,000 black men were killed unarmed in 2019 by the cops.
00:13:22.000Now, let's look at the very liberal crowd.
00:13:24.000The very liberal crowd, 15.71% of very liberal Americans believed that about 10 black men were killed unarmed by the cops in 2019.
00:13:34.000Fully, I'm not joking, Fully, 31% thought that about 1,000 unarmed black men were killed by the cops in 2019.
00:13:40.000Another 14.29% thought that about 10,000 unarmed black men were killed by the police in 2019.
00:13:43.000And 7.86% thought more than 10,000 were killed by the cops in 2019, which is utterly crazy.
00:13:45.000thought that about 10,000 unarmed black men were killed by the police in 2019.
00:13:50.000And 7.86% thought more than 10,000 were killed by the cops in 2019, which is utterly crazy.
00:13:57.000So when you add those three numbers together, what you end up with is a majority, a majority of very liberal people believe that over 1,000 black men were killed unarmed by the cops in 2019.
00:14:18.000And the reason for that is the media coverage.
00:14:20.000And by the way, here's the big problem.
00:14:23.000This holds true for normal liberal people, not just very liberal people, normal liberal people.
00:14:29.000Normal liberal people, Believe that many, many more unarmed black men were killed than actually were killed.
00:14:37.00026.67% of normal liberal people believe a thousand black men a year are killed unarmed by the cops.
00:14:41.000Another 12% think that at least 10,000 people were killed by the cops unarmed black every single year.
00:14:50.000Now, once you get to people who are moderate and who don't believe the narrative quite as much, you still end up with a huge percentage of Americans who believe that the number is way higher than it is, right?
00:14:59.000Fully 41% of moderates believe that about 100 people were killed a year by the cops, unarmed and black, and 16% still believe that about 1,000 were killed.
00:15:09.000What you see is that as these polls get more conservative, they get more accurate.
00:15:14.000The more conservative these folks are, the more accurate they are.
00:15:16.000In fact, there's only one exception to this rule, and that is actually between very conservative and conservative people.
00:15:21.000If you're just conservative and not very conservative, you're actually more accurate on this question.
00:15:26.000About 86% of just conservative people understood that the answer was below 100.
00:17:14.000Even among conservatives, the narrative has purchased.
00:17:17.000Because when you keep hearing over and over and over that black men are being gunned down and when the only stories that you hear are of black men being shot by the police as opposed to white people being shot by the police or Hispanic people being shot by the police, well then you end up with a narrative.
00:17:29.000And the narrative, oftentimes, is extraordinarily false.

00:19:32.000Okay, so meanwhile, my friend Andrew Breitbart used to say that culture is upstream of politics and it is true.
00:19:39.000When you hear from all of your cultural sources, all of them, that America is systemically racist and evil, you start to believe it.
00:19:45.000And when you see that people are called out and cudgeled into line if they don't repeat that narrative, you start to say to yourself, well, maybe I should do that too.
00:19:53.000Maybe I need to say all of this woke stuff, because if I don't say that woke stuff, I'll get fired from my job at Woke-a-Cola.
00:19:59.000Or maybe I will be tossed out by my local university.
00:20:03.000Or maybe all of my friends will unfriend me on Facebook.
00:20:07.000This has infused even some of our most apolitical Dumb cultural institutions.
00:20:12.000So, I say dumb because I will freely admit to you, I am not a watcher of The Bachelor.
00:20:16.000I think the premise of the show is idiotic, frankly.
00:20:19.000The notion that you have one person who's dating 20 people at once, I think is kind of perverse.
00:20:23.000The fact that people think this is romantic is absolutely beyond me.
00:20:26.000It must be part of the lizard brain that sees any sort of romantic gesture as romantic, even if it's done in the context of a highly and slickly produced program in which a dude is dating 20 chicks at once.
00:20:37.000Okay, but in any case, being a non-fan of The Bachelor, I think this gives me in some ways more credibility to talk about the stupidity of what is now going on at The Bachelor.
00:20:45.000Okay, The Bachelor has been an apolitical show that men have not wanted to watch for 25 years.
00:20:50.000It's the kind of show where your wife turns it on and watches it and is enthralled, and you sit there and you just wish that you could turn the channel to football.
00:20:59.000But it is one of the key institutional cultural touchstones of our society, clearly, right?
00:21:21.000And it's imploding because there is a contestant named Rachel Kirkconnell.
00:21:24.000And Rachel Kirkconnell, several years ago, went to a antebellum-themed plantation party when she was in college.
00:21:32.000This involved basically dressing up like Scarlett O'Hara at a plantation.
00:21:36.000And this was considered wildly uncouth and racist and covered by the internet sleuths.
00:21:41.000Those great people doing amazing things, like suggesting that people are racist because they dressed up as Scarlett O'Hara at an antebellum-themed party.
00:21:50.000in the South, as though this was sort of some sort of referendum on slavery.
00:21:53.000That probably Rachel Kirkconnell was totally cool with slavery because of this.
00:21:56.000Probably that was that is the most obvious takeaway, right?
00:21:59.000I mean, that's the most obvious takeaway.
00:22:00.000OK, so when that first came out, the contestant on The Bachelor this season is a Black man.
00:22:17.000I have not spoken to anybody since the show ended, but I would say that you have to be really careful about what you are doing on social media.
00:23:14.000The setup is that she does something that is somewhat questionable in the modern context, but certainly not questionable as of even five, ten years ago.
00:23:24.000And I mean, at that point, it would have been considered kind of crazy to cancel somebody over something like this.
00:23:29.000Now, you cancel somebody over literally saying the N-word to denounce the N-word.
00:23:47.000February 3rd, the Bachelor contestant, Matt James, comes out and defends her.
00:23:51.000And then, A couple days later, Chris Harrison, who's the host of The Bachelor, he comes out and says basically the exact same thing as Matt James, right?
00:23:59.000Just a couple days later, he comes out, he does an interview, and he says, maybe we should show her some grace.
00:24:02.000Social media is not judge, jury, and executioner.
00:24:13.000Okay, and then Chris Harrison got hit with the Anvil of wokeism is just dropped on his head from the third story.
00:24:20.000And so he ends up being suspended from his own show for the great crime of suggesting that a young woman ought to be given grace, saying the exact same thing in nearly the exact same words that Matt James said.
00:24:32.000Okay, the reason that this all started is because there's a former Bachelor contestant named Rachel Lindsay.
00:24:36.000Okay, so Rachel Lindsay went after Chris Harrison and said it was racist of him.
00:24:40.000He didn't understand, she said, when she was not cutting ads for Cadillac in the middle of the Black Lives Matter protest.
00:24:46.000She said that it was very, very important that Chris Harrison understood the context of his own racist sentiments.
00:24:52.000And the producers of The Bachelor, wanting to avoid controversy, then removed Chris Harrison from the final episodes of The Bachelor.
00:24:59.000Which is kind of incredible, actually.
00:25:20.000What changed in three weeks other than he didn't like the media blowback?
00:25:23.000So he took a girl who was dating him, right?
00:25:25.000And then he just tossed her under the bus.
00:25:27.000And the show that made him a star and a relevant person in American life, The First Black Bachelor, a show so apparently racist that you had women of all different racial makeups dating the main character who's black.
00:25:39.000So obviously this is a deeply racist, terrible show.
00:25:44.000And now he says the show is racist, Chris Harrison is racist, and he is woke.
00:25:49.000Which makes this guy not only a douchebag, but a coward.
00:25:52.000So Matt James put out a statement and says, the past few weeks have been some of the most challenging in my life.
00:25:56.000And while there are several episodes left of the season, it is important that I take the time to address the troubling information that has come to light since we wrapped filming, including the incredibly disappointing photos of Rachel Kirkconnell and the interview between Rachel Lindsay and Chris Harrison.
00:26:10.000So he went from, let's give her some grace and treat people like human beings to, I'm incredibly disappointed in everyone around me and it's definitely not my fault and please leave me alone and maybe I should be on the cover of a magazine talking about racial problems in America.
00:26:23.000Matt James writes, the reality is that I'm learning about these situations in real time.
00:26:27.000Because back on February 3rd you knew about them.
00:26:29.000So if by in real time you knew that the photos were out at the beginning of February and you defended her and now you're too much of a coward to stand by it?
00:26:37.000He said it's been devastating and heartbreaking, to put it bluntly.
00:26:39.000Chris's failure to receive and understand the emotional labor that my friend Rachel Lindsay was taking on by graciously and patiently explaining the racist history of the antebellum South, a painful history that every American should understand intimately, was troubling and painful to watch.
00:26:55.000The labor and pain, the emotional labor Rachel Lindsay was taking on, Again, this is a lady who in the middle of the Black Lives Matter protest, she's like, you know how I fight for Black Lives Matter?
00:27:06.000I put on podcasts talking about Black history in my beautiful Cadillac XT6.
00:27:13.000That's an actual Instagram post she put up.
00:27:16.000Okay, it is a post in which she touts Black Lives Matter and she says she can listen to podcasts about Black history on her beautiful Bose sound system in her Cadillac XT6.
00:27:37.000Yeah, she seemed, I mean, it must be real emotional labor, having to explain to people that they should be canceled, not because they're actively racist or believe in the inferiority of black people, but that they should be canceled because they suggest grace for a person who went to a party That was ignorant.
00:27:53.000And that should be, that's cancelable.
00:27:55.000And not only that, the person who says, maybe we should give that person grace, give them a chance to explain themselves and apologize, to even explain to that person, to even explain to that person, is emotional labor.
00:28:06.000You cannot even explain to Chris Harrison, that is an emotion, it's an act of emotional labor.
00:28:20.000As black people and allies immediately knew and understood, it was a clear reflection of a much larger issue that the Bachelor franchise has fallen short on addressing adequately for years.
00:28:28.000Again, Matt James is the first black Bachelor.
00:28:39.000It turns out that it has dawned on you now that you are a participant in the most racist franchise in American history, obviously, The Bachelor.
00:28:47.000It was like Birth of a Nation, except with dating, and a black lead, who's the hero, and him dating a bunch of... Lindsay, by the way, was the first black Bachelorette.
00:28:57.000Forgive me for my ignorance on matters concerning The Bachelor, one of the dumbest shows of all time.
00:29:03.000The only important question is why is it that you are running away from your own willingness to grant people the benefit of the doubt?
00:29:09.000questions. No, it is not. The only important question is, why is it that you are running away from your own from your own willingness to grant people the benefit of the doubt?
00:29:19.000People you are dating, by the way. And then the minute that there's some blowback, you throw her under the bus and you suggest that you're a hero for doing so and resulted in It has also pushed me to re-evaluate and process what my experience on The Bachelor represents.
00:29:33.000Oh, so now he's going to re-evaluate, right?
00:29:34.000We're going to go back and we're going to re-process.
00:29:36.000They're really going to think hard about what a rough life he had dating 20 women at once on national television and being paid for the privilege.
00:29:45.000It has pushed me to re-evaluate and process what my experience on The Bachelor represents, not just for me, but of all the contestants of color.
00:29:50.000Oh, no, he's a representative of all black Americans.
00:31:06.000There is no good evidence that Rachel Kirkconnell is a racist.
00:31:10.000Not only did she post a groveling apology for the antebellum stuff, She's put out a bunch of statements since, that Rachel Lindsay has found insufficient.
00:31:19.000And Rachel Lindsay, as the Pope of Wokeness, gets to determine whether or not you are sufficiently, whether you're sufficiently deferential to woke principles.
00:31:32.000And she'll do so while standing in front of a Cadillac XTS, by the way.
00:31:38.000Because nothing says America is racist quite like getting to rip America as racist, the show that you starred in as racist, the host of that show as racist, other contestants on that show as racist, and the entire system of the United States as racist while standing in front of a beautiful Cadillac XT6 with a Bose sound system.
00:31:56.000Clearly, this is an awful, awful country for people like Rachel Lindsay.
00:31:59.000Clearly, she has suffered greatly in her life.
00:32:16.000I'm excited to report to you that the latest in making the country less racist is that Harry Shearer, a white actor, will no longer voice the black character Dr. Hibbert on The Simpsons.
00:32:28.000Now, if it had ever occurred to you, like, who voiced that character?
00:32:32.000Then congratulations to the dozen of you.
00:32:36.000Like, seriously, who sits around going, the voiceover artists, what color are they?
00:32:47.000And I guarantee you that not a single person who has ever voiced one of those characters has that same color, because that color doesn't exist on humans in real life.
00:32:57.000I mean, honestly, unless we have people who voice over these characters, who have all the characteristics of the characters on cartoons, I think that we absolutely should not be able to do these things anymore.
00:33:06.000Unless you, as a human being, if you are hit in the face with a frying pan, and your face takes on the shape of a frying pan, I do not think you should be able to voice a cartoon character who, when hit in the face with a frying pan, has their face take on the shape of a frying pan.
00:33:54.000This also follows Family Guy actor Mike Henry, who is white, announcing in the aftermath of the George Floyd incident that he would not be voicing the black character Cleveland anymore.
00:34:07.000I mean, you know how much less racist American society got since Mike Henry, who is white, announced he would not be voicing Cleveland anymore?
00:34:20.000I'm just glad that I could be alive when we decided that we were going to basically purge everybody who doesn't agree with the most woke among us, and then cudgel everybody else into imitating that viewpoint.
00:34:29.000I'm grateful to be living in such a virtuous time, truly, because we know that we're on the verge of eliminating racism by calling every single person in the United States racist, every single show in the United States racist, determining That everybody should be canceled for their past views except the people who get to join the mob.
00:34:43.000And if you join the mob, then you're basically okay.
00:34:45.000And not only that, you get to be a leader in the movement.
00:35:04.000And it's a wonderful revolution, in which we will promulgate false narratives, and in which we will push those false narratives with every piece of institutional power at our disposal, and we will run right over you if you disagree.
00:36:47.000It is that time of the month when I get to sit down with some of my favorite people in the world, and Michael Moulse, for an episode of Backstage.
00:37:11.000Now, before going any further, I gotta tell you about a new show that we are bringing out, hosted by moi.
00:37:15.000I told you there's gonna be lots of new content this year at Daily Wire for our members, and there is.
00:37:19.000We have a simple, highly effective rule for making a good argument.
00:37:23.000Don't build good arguments on false facts.
00:37:25.000This is the first and most important rule when it comes to developing a legitimate argument.
00:37:29.000But the left ignores this routinely, which is why I will be exposing leftist fallacies every Friday in 15 minutes or less exclusively for Daily Wire members on our new series, Debunked.
00:37:38.000Every single week, I will take facts and logic and own the leftist arguments.
00:37:43.000It's the kind of stuff your friends post and share all over the internet.
00:38:32.000According to the Washington Post, the emergency facility, which, by the way, is a vestige of the Trump administration that was open for a month in summer 2019, is now being reactivated to hold up to 700 children ages 13 to 17.
00:38:44.000You know why we need these facilities?
00:38:45.000Because these are kids who are coming across the border unaccompanied.
00:38:48.000We can't just release them to nobody inside the United States of America.
00:38:52.000We have to keep them somewhere, and so we put them in the facilities we have.
00:38:55.000They were not concentration camps or ghettos or cages when it was Trump, and they are not concentration camps or ghettos or cages when it is When it is Joe Biden.
00:39:03.000And if they were all those things, they were those things when Barack Obama was president and started this entire process under Flores.
00:39:09.000OK, but according to the Washington Post, it's amazing.
00:39:12.000Tents, tent cities are now soft sided structures and cages are now migrant facilities for children.
00:40:05.000So notice she never explains why it's not kids in cages.
00:40:08.000She just says that our policy is not the same as the Trump administration's policy because the Trump administration policy said we are not going to simply release people into the interior of the United States without tracing where they are, right?
00:40:19.000Basically, there were two choices under the Flores settlement when you end up with parents who arrive with kids at the border, right?
00:40:25.000Those choices were either you release both the parents and the kids, Or you release the kids, or you release the parents, right?
00:40:31.000You can't have a situation in which you keep both the parents and the kids in facilities together, right?
00:40:37.000That was one of the problems with the Flora settlement.
00:40:42.000Okay, but the bottom line here is that what she is saying is that the structures are exactly the same, but since our policies are different, it's not kids in cages anymore.
00:40:50.000Weird, because it's the same kids in the same cages, but it's not kids in cages anymore.
00:41:05.000So if we do exactly the same thing as the orange man, but our overall policy is different, then that makes it good.
00:41:11.000Post-senior political reporter Aaron Blake defended the decision not to call this thing a concentration camp.
00:41:16.000By the way, the paper did refer to the facilities during the Trump era as quote-unquote concentration camps.
00:41:22.000So Aaron Blake said no, Biden's new border move isn't just like Trump's kids in cages.
00:41:28.000Blake said the description was justified because the paper didn't view it as a good thing and because the Biden administration doesn't separate children from the adults accompanying them.
00:42:03.000He added, Trump's policy on children at the border wasn't controversial merely because it resulted in children being held at the border, which is a longstanding reality and is what will happen at this facility.
00:42:12.000It was controversial because it forced children to be separated from their parents, given its hardline policy requiring the parents be held and not released into the country.
00:42:19.000So in other words, we don't like the Trump policy, but the facilities are exactly the same, but they were cages when it was Trump, and they are just beautiful, wonderful trailers when it's Joe Biden.
00:42:32.000So, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez decides to get in on the act, and you will notice some muted language here from the irrepressible and incomparably brilliant Democratic Congresswoman from Twitch.
00:42:48.000No matter the administration or party.
00:42:52.000And then she added, our immigration system is built on a carceral framework.
00:42:56.000It's no accident that challenging how we approach both these issues are considered controversial stances that require reimagining our relationship to each other and challenging common assumptions we take for granted.
00:43:04.000Oh, like you're not supposed to cross the border illegally.
00:43:07.000It's only two months into this administration and our fraught, unjust immigration system will not transform in that time.
00:43:11.000That's why bold reimagination is so important.
00:43:19.000Create climate refugee status and more.
00:43:22.000Okay, so her solution is no more immigration laws, essentially, at all.
00:43:26.000No enforcement mechanism for immigration.
00:43:28.000But, you'll notice one thing that she didn't do, was head on down to Joe Biden's cages for kids, and take a picture dressed in all white, weeping, several hundred yards from the actual facility.
00:43:39.000You'll notice that she didn't do that.
00:45:12.000And I don't feel that our politicians are more honest when they just jet set off to some location where there is a tragedy and then hand out water bottles.
00:45:21.000Like, this does not make me feel as though they care more about me.
00:45:23.000But then again, I don't look for empathy from people I elect.
00:46:02.000He may be crappy at policy, but he's empathetic, and that means that he can do exactly the same stuff that Trump did, or he can lie routinely, and we all just give him the space, because it's fine.
