00:01:35.000All righty, so, obviously, the massive news of the day is that late yesterday afternoon, Eastern time, the jury came in with its verdict in the killing of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin.
00:01:48.000The jury determined that it was murder, not just second-degree murder.
00:01:52.000It was second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter, according to the jury.
00:01:56.000Here was the judge announcing the jury verdict yesterday.
00:02:00.000We the jury in the above entitled matter as to count one, unintentional second degree murder while committing a felony, find the defendant guilty.
00:02:07.000We the jury in the above entitled matter as to count two, third degree murder perpetrating an eminently dangerous act, find the defendant guilty.
00:02:14.000We the jury in the above entitled matter as to count three, second degree manslaughter, culpable negligence creating an unreasonable risk, find the defendant guilty.
00:02:23.000Okay, so those charges carry as per the statute.
00:02:27.00012.5 years for second degree, 12.5 years for third degree, four years for manslaughter if you don't have a prior conviction.
00:02:34.000There are some extenuating factors that the prosecution is going to try to present to the judge to call for more than the maximum sentence allotted by law, suggesting that Chauvin should spend presumably decades in prison for the death of George Floyd.
00:02:47.000So let's talk for a second about The jury here.
00:02:50.000So the jury spent about 10 hours in deliberation.
00:03:07.000The reason being that in Minnesota, you actually have to be acquitted by the entire jury or you have to be convicted by the entire jury.
00:03:15.000So, once the jury said they were coming back, unless they were going to acquit him on all charges, which was extraordinarily doubtful, it was pretty obvious they were going to convict him on all charges.
00:03:23.000If there had been a hang-up, if there had been a couple of jurors who were not into it, then they would have gone back to the judge.
00:03:48.000But, in my view of the evidence, not only is the jury wrong, given the fact they didn't even ask any questions of the judge, I wonder if they even examined the evidence.
00:03:57.000The reason being, the second and third degree murder charges, it seems unsupportable to me, on a logical level, that the second and third degree murder charges, based on what we saw in the courtroom and the entire trial was televised, That those charges are justifiable by the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:04:13.000Remember, the standard is not by preponderance of the evidence.
00:04:16.000The standard is not, do you think that Chauvin is guilty of second and third degree murder?
00:04:20.000The question is, do you know beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty of second and third degree murder?
00:04:25.000We've walked through these charges many times.
00:04:26.000Third degree murder does not even apply in this case.
00:04:28.000Originally, the judge said that third degree murder should not be brought as a charge because it's so-called depraved heart murder.
00:04:33.000Depraved heart murder is where you shoot a gun into a crowd.
00:04:36.000The statute specifically says, when you present harm to others, plural.
00:04:42.000Right, and then you hit one person, you shoot into a crowd, you don't have any specific intent to kill a person, but you know that you probably will kill somebody.
00:04:47.000That's what a depraved heart murder is, that's what third degree murder is, that did not apply in this case, they convicted Chauvin of it anyway.
00:04:53.000Second degree murder, they would have had to find that felony assault was intended, that Chauvin intended to commit a felony assault, not to participate in a routinely used police procedure that was greenlit by the Minneapolis Police Department, but that he intended to commit a felony assault on George Floyd, Not that it was an accident.
00:05:11.000Not that he went too far in the process of pursuing that.
00:05:34.000Manslaughter, I said all along, was the easiest charge to prove because all you had to prove there was recklessness.
00:05:39.000And there, the prosecution made a fairly compelling case, because the prosecution said that in that particular case, Derek Chauvin could have seen that Floyd was dying under his knee, and therefore, he should have turned Floyd over, he should have given him medical care, right?
00:05:53.000All of that is a lot more arguable and at least a lot more evidentiarily based than the second and third degree murder charges.
00:05:58.000But the jury not only went for the second and third degree murder charges, they went for it in record time.
00:06:02.000They went right for it, like very, very quickly.
00:06:05.000Which suggests to me that they didn't really take a fulsome look of the evidence.
00:06:09.000Now, maybe they did, and maybe they just came to a different conclusion.
00:06:11.000But the presumption has to be that this was the most highly watched trial in modern American history.
00:06:18.000You had the President of the United States sounding off about it.
00:06:21.000You had Congressman Maxine Waters outside the courtroom.
00:06:23.000who is saying that there were gonna be riots in the streets, essentially, if they didn't get the verdict they wanted.
00:06:27.000He had the entire media declaring, the entire media to a man, declaring that this trial was a foregone conclusion, and not just a foregone conclusion, but that it was insulting to even have to watch the defense put on a case.
00:06:39.000The notion that the pressure campaign brought to bear over the course of the last year to convict Chauvin had no impact on the jury here beggars the imagination.
00:06:48.000I find it very, very difficult to believe that this was, in fact, an objective pursuit of the system of justice.
00:06:59.000Okay, perhaps the jury just went in the room, and they did their best, and they came away after having examined all three weeks of the evidence, and they ignored the fact that George Floyd had three times the deadly level of fentanyl in his system, and they ignored the fact that he had a 75% arterial blockage, and they ignored the fact that he said he couldn't breathe before he was on the ground, and they ignored the fact that he was resisting arrest.
00:07:16.000They ignored the fact that he asked to be taken out of the car and to be put on the ground.
00:07:19.000They ignored the fact that he was actively talking just before he died, which shows that his airway was not obstructed.
00:07:25.000that showed that he had many drugs in his system, and not just that he had many drugs in his system, but no damage to his trachea and no damage to his, and no damage to his, the arteries on either side of his neck, right?
00:07:35.000Perhaps they looked at all of that and they said, you know what?
00:07:37.000We just agree with Dr. Tobin, who is the prosecution medical witness, and we just agree with him.
00:07:43.000And we believe that just by looking at the tape, he could magically determine the cause of death on George Floyd, and that it was only Derek Chauvin's knee, not even on his neck, on his upper back, that caused the death of George Floyd.
00:07:53.000Maybe they did their job, and they did it beautifully.
00:07:56.000But there's one thing that the jury didn't do.
00:07:59.000There's one charge that the jury never even considered.
00:08:02.000There was one charge that was never even alleged.
00:08:54.000But we all know that the real charge that was brought against Derek Chauvin, because it was being brought against America more broadly, is that America is racist and this case is emblematic of that.
00:09:02.000This data point is all about America being racist.
00:09:27.000If the body cam footage had broken, at the time when it was supposed to, by the way, the body cam footage broke well after the original third-party footage of what was going on with Chauvin and Floyd.
00:09:37.000If the body cam footage had broken, and the third-party footage had broken, and all the evidence had been cast into the public sphere, if all of that had happened, and there had not been 20 million people in the streets declaring that America was systemically racist, and that this case was a case of racism, It is highly doubtful to me whether a jury would have convicted of second and third degree murder on this evidence, which suggests to me, of course, that when it comes to due process, this was due process in name.
00:10:06.000It was not justice in effect because individual justice relies on you evaluating the evidence before you, not on bringing in preconceived notions about systemic American racism that were never alleged in the courtroom.
00:10:46.000So when I say that the jury is wrong, juries get it wrong.
00:10:49.000But the question isn't whether the jury got it wrong.
00:10:51.000The question is whether the jury got it wrong because they were actually convicting Chauvin of a crime that he was not even alleged to have committed, which is standing in for America's evil racist system.
00:11:01.000And the answer there is pretty obviously yes.
00:11:04.000And you can see it in every element of the narrative that's been trotted out.
00:11:07.000Every single element of the narrative.
00:11:09.000For example, Philonise Floyd, who is a relative of George Floyd's brother, got up and suggested, standing next to Al Sharpton, one of the great race baiters in American history, and Jesse Jackson, another one of the greatest race baiters in American history, and Benjamin Crump, another great race baiter in modern American history.
00:11:25.000Philonise Floyd stood there and suggested that George Floyd was like Emmett Till.
00:11:32.000Now, for those who don't know about the Emmett Till crime, one of the great racial crimes in American history, Emmett Till was a 14-year-old black boy who was falsely accused of having sexually harassed a white woman.
00:11:42.000The white woman's family then went to the place where Emmett Till lived, dragged him out of his house, shot him, and threw him in a river.
00:11:48.000In other words, the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death are nothing like the circumstances surrounding Emmett Till's death, which was a purely racist murder in the South in the Jim Crow era.
00:11:59.000But this is the comparison that was made, continuously and repeatedly, is that every day America's racist system is creating new Emmett Tills.
00:12:07.000And George Floyd is just the latest example of this.
00:12:10.000Here is Philonise Floyd making that case.
00:12:13.000The person that comes to my mind is 1955.
00:12:19.000And to me, he was the first George Floyd.
00:13:06.000Emmett Till was killed because he was a black- Because he was a black boy living in the Jim Crow segregated South, and there were white racists who murdered him.
00:13:13.000There's no similarity between the Emmett Till case and the George Floyd case.
00:13:16.000But again, that is what Chauvin was convicted of yesterday.
00:13:19.000Not just in the court of law, but in the court of public opinion, which in America matters a hell of a lot more than the court of law.
00:13:26.000And it's not just Chauvin who stands convicted of that, of course.
00:13:29.000The idea from the entire Democratic Party and the media is that it's the entire country that stands convicted of that, when it was not even alleged, based on evidence.
00:13:38.000And it seems to me that what happened really here is that the jury took allegations that were not even made and then read them into the crime.
00:13:45.000Derek Chauvin had to be convicted of second and third degree murder, not because the fact pattern supported second and third degree murder, it might have supported manslaughter, but he had to be convicted of second and third degree murder, or whatever charges they threw at him, frankly, because he was a stand-in for the evil history of American racism and the current system of American racial prejudice.
00:14:34.000And the best way to make sure that your business is doing well is to market it properly.
00:14:38.000Well, a lot of people are still putting out there things like phone numbers.
00:14:40.000People are still trying to cold call people using email.
00:14:43.000These are old-fashioned ways of reaching your customers.
00:14:45.000Instead, what you need is to get on text.
00:14:47.000Seriously, I don't respond to cold calls on phones.
00:14:49.000I'll just let it go to voicemail or I'll just, you know, hit end.
00:14:53.000But if somebody texts, there's a good shot that I'm going to see the text.
00:14:55.000Podium is the messaging platform to power your business.
00:14:58.000It helps you reach your customers wherever they are.
00:15:00.000Business messaging with Podium helps you gain reviews, collect payments, communicate with customers, and capture leads, all from a single inbox.
00:15:06.000Podium helps you adapt to the changing customer expectations.
00:15:08.000You don't have to take my word for it.
00:15:43.000Okay, so you can see how the media and our politicians react, and they are reacting not to the conviction of a cop on evidence presented that he was reckless, or even that he committed murder because he was brutal.
00:15:54.000They reacted to this on the basis of the racial question that was not even alleged at trial and to which no evidence was presented.
00:16:01.000There is not a jot or tittle of evidence that has been presented to suggest that if George Floyd had been a white man who was, and the police were called to the scene of a crime for a white guy who had a long, a rap sheet as long as your arm, and the white guy were high on fentanyl, three times the legal limit, resisting arrest, begging to be put on the ground, That that white guy would have lived under the exact same circumstances in which we saw this case.
00:16:32.000That is what America and Chauvin stand convicted of today.
00:16:37.000And the way that the media treat this and the way the politicians treat this is perfectly obvious.
00:16:41.000Nancy Pelosi gave what I thought was maybe the single most egregious statement on not just a criminal trial, but on the death of a human being that I have heard in quite some time.
00:16:51.000Her take on George Floyd's death is malevolent.
00:16:57.000Here is Nancy Pelosi talking about the death of George Floyd, who remember, did not willingly go to his death because he was making some sort of greater sacrifice.
00:17:05.000Even if you believe the jury, He was killed.
00:17:11.000He did not want to die, nor should he have wanted to die.
00:17:14.000But Nancy Pelosi thanked him for his death.
00:17:34.000But because of you, and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice.
00:17:47.000Okay, forget for a second about the beginning of the statement in which she thanks a man for dying, which is just astonishing.
00:17:54.000I mean, somebody gets shot by the cops, even if they're shot and they didn't deserve to be shot, you don't thank them for their death.
00:18:01.000That is a bizarre, bizarre take at best.
00:18:03.000But her statement that on the day of Chauvin's conviction, that because Floyd died and millions of people went out in the streets, basically Chauvin was convicted because of that, is itself an admission That this trial outcome was seen as the predictable outcome, not of the evidence, but of all of the surrounding hubbub regarding George Floyd and the BLM movement of last summer and the 20 million people in the streets.
00:18:27.000Which is to say that it was not a pure jury case examining the evidence, looking at what happened.
00:18:33.000It was, in fact, outside pressure that made a fair bit of difference.
00:18:37.000And all of this ties in to, again, the broader American narrative, which is that all of this is about America's racist systems.
00:18:43.000So, for example, you have the Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Fry, who is just a moron.
00:18:47.000A moral idiot of extraordinary proportions.
00:18:51.000Jacob Fry, the same guy who went and got shellacked last summer.
00:18:54.000He went down to a BLM rally, tried to sympathize with them, and they said, what are you doing here?
00:18:58.000Well, they started yelling at him for being a white supremacist.
00:19:02.000Because when you show your neck to a mob of people who wish to tear down the system, and you're a member of the system, it never goes well for you.
00:19:36.000But the notion that this has bettered Minneapolis in some way is indicative of a basic democratic case, which is that the world has gotten better over the course of the last year because of this mass movement in the streets.
00:19:47.000And I'm just wondering what the evidence is for that.
00:19:50.000I'm wondering what the evidence is that the world has gotten better because of what has happened over the course of the last year in terms of the supposed racial awakening in the United States.
00:19:58.000You had the same thing from Minnesota AG Keith Ellison.
00:20:04.000Now, what you notice here is the reason he's saying that it's not justice is because the idea that Democrats are going to push forward and this is the next move, right, is that it was never about this particular case.
00:20:14.000You'll notice the language that is being used by the left today, by members of the media, by members of the Democratic Party, is not, the system worked.
00:20:21.000Usually, in the aftermath of a criminal conviction, the line that you hear very often from politicians and the media is, yes, the system worked.
00:20:49.000Derek Chauvin is just the outgrowth of the system.
00:20:52.000In a certain way, a lot of folks on the left don't even believe that Derek Chauvin is responsible for his own actions, because they didn't prove that he was a racist.
00:20:58.000He's just the outgrowth of a systemically racist system.
00:21:10.000When they say justice was done, what they mean is we got what we wanted.
00:21:13.000Okay, so here is Minnesota AG Keith Ellison saying, it's not about justice, it's about accountability, because broader justice, of course, means that you tear down the entire system.
00:21:21.000I would not call today's verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration.
00:21:30.000But it is accountability, which is the first step towards justice.
00:21:35.000And now the cause of justice is in your hands.
00:21:39.000And when I say your hands, I mean the hands of the people of the United States.
00:22:44.000Okay, so let's take a look at what's happened over the course of the past year.
00:22:47.000We've been told that the great racial awakening brought about by George Floyd's death has been a boon to the United States.
00:22:52.000We've seen Nancy Pelosi on tape thanking George Floyd for his death in a bizarre show of misplacement.
00:22:57.000I mean, my goodness, what a tone-deaf thing to say.
00:23:01.000That this has made America better in some way, and particularly for black Americans.
00:23:03.000There's an entire piece from the Associated Press today, titled, By the way, that's not an op-ed.
00:23:12.000That is a news piece, because our media are fully invested in the idea that all the systems of the United States are deeply racist, and that only if Chauvin was convicted would we be on the road to recovery.
00:23:22.000Here is the Associated Press in a news story.
00:23:26.000momentary is a feeling that black Americans have rarely known in America, from slavery and Jim Crow segregation to enduring punishments for living while black.
00:23:33.000A breath of fresh air untainted by oppression has long been hard to come by.
00:23:55.000The notion that all black Americans are living under the constant threat of extermination is now being reported as objective news by the Associated Press.
00:24:03.000Nonetheless, says the AP, the conviction of ex-cop Derek Chauvin for murdering George Floyd nearly a year ago allowed many across this city and the nation to exhale pent-up anxiety and to inhale a sense of hope.
00:24:15.000The fate of Chauvin showed Black Americans and their compatriots once again that the legal system is capable of valuing Black lives.
00:24:22.000Well, the system is capable of valuing black lives, but what you are calling for in terms of changes to the system devalues black lives, as we will talk about in just one second.
00:24:30.000Or at least it can hold one white police officer in Minnesota accountable for what many declared an unambiguous act of murder months ago.
00:24:35.000Yeah, just because many declared something an unambiguous act of murder means nothing.
00:24:39.000Today, you'll notice that there are many in the media who are attempting to declare it an unambiguous act of murder that a police officer in Columbus, Ohio shot a girl, a 15-year-old black girl.
00:24:50.000Then the police released the footage and it turns out the 15-year-old black girl was trying to stab another black woman with a knife when she was shot.
00:24:56.000Okay, but again, the facts are getting in the way of a good narrative here.
00:25:03.000This may be the beginning of the restoration of believing that a justice system can work, said civil rights leader Martin Luther King III.
00:25:09.000But we have to constantly stay on the battlefield in a peaceful and nonviolent way and make demands.
00:25:20.000What the media are calling for is not renewed faith in the system.
00:25:23.000What they are calling for is continuous pressure on the system.
00:25:28.000See, here's the bizarre nature of the only thing that changed yesterday because Chauvin was convicted as opposed to acquitted is that there weren't riots.
00:25:35.000Because for the left, the outcome really didn't change.
00:25:38.000For the left, it doesn't matter what the antecedent was.
00:25:42.000The consequent was always going to be the same.
00:25:44.000In the if-then statement, it did not matter what you said in the if.
00:25:47.000The then was always going to be the same.
00:25:49.000If Chauvin had been acquitted, Then they would have said this.
00:25:53.000Okay, that was version number one, where Chauvin was acquitted.
00:25:55.000This just shows that the American racial, the American justice system is racially malevolent, that America is a deeply systemically racist place.
00:26:01.000And this requires, therefore, this requires that you give us inordinate power to reshape all the systems of American life so as to achieve racial equity.
00:26:09.000Okay, that was version number one, where Chauvin was acquitted.
00:26:12.000When Chauvin was convicted, here's the argument today.
00:26:16.000And this is just the first step to realizing that you have to give us more power so we can reshape the systems of American power in line with providing greater racial equity.
00:26:24.000It does not matter whether Chauvin was convicted or not for purposes of the agenda.
00:26:29.000In fact, it seems that there are at least a few in the media who are kind of unhappy that Chauvin was convicted because it seems to grant a certain legitimacy to a justice system they really, really dislike.
00:26:39.000I mean, to take one example, MSNBC's Jason Johnson seemed pretty pissed at the verdict yesterday.
00:26:43.000He said, I'm not going to celebrate this verdict because it gives legitimacy to a system that's bad.
00:26:49.000I actually always thought that he would be found guilty because it's sort of a cultural makeup call.
00:27:02.000What this says to me is that in order to get a nominal degree of justice in this country, That a black man has to be murdered on air, viewed by the entire world.
00:27:14.000There has to be a year's worth of protests and a phalanx of other white police officers to tell one white officer that he was wrong in order to get one scintilla of justice.
00:27:24.000Okay, that last point there is him admitting that the jury was pressured by the millions of people in the streets, which of course is true and perfectly obvious to anyone with a shred of common sense.
00:27:33.000He says, in order to get this conviction, you needed millions of people in the streets.
00:27:38.000Okay, there's a word for that, and it's mob justice.
00:27:59.000Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, who spent tens of thousands of dollars on private security over the course of the last few months, but you should definitely defund the police.
00:28:06.000AOC said that this verdict should not be a ray of hope.
00:28:09.000It should just be a reminder that we need to completely change the systems of American life.
00:30:22.000By the way, I noticed that it was the Democrats who filibustered Tim Scott's police reform bill last year because Tim Scott happens to be a Republican.
00:30:27.000Reverend Al Sharpton, who, to my amazement and astonishment, remains a major figure in American public life despite being involved in the incitement of two separate racial conflagrations, one in Crown Heights and another at Freddie's Fashion Mart.
00:30:41.000And who's been wrong on nearly every major racial issue and runs a shakedown network designed at getting businesses to pay money to his network so that he will leave them alone.
00:30:48.000Al Sharpton's still considered a face of racial justice after the Tawana Browley scandal.
00:32:10.000Already, there's a question as to whether, on appeal, the conviction is going to be vacated because of all of the outside pressure, including from Maxine Waters.
00:32:17.000It would take a court of appeals of a certain level of courage that I don't think is going to be apparent to actually do that.
00:32:24.000But it's not as though anybody is under the misimpression that public pressure didn't have anything to do with this verdict.
00:32:29.000If you're under that misimpression, I point you to Al Sharpton, who thinks differently.
00:32:34.000Okay, here's the question, and we're gonna get to this in just one second.
00:32:42.000Is the desire to tear down the system, is that making life better for Americans?
00:32:46.000Is it making life better for Americans?
00:32:48.000So yesterday, in the aftermath of this individual criminal justice case that took place in Minneapolis, the president of the United States and co-president of the United States, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, That in and of itself is astonishing.
00:33:00.000That in the aftermath of a criminal conviction of a single cop for a murder charge, controversial murder charge, in an incident in a locale, the President of the United States is nationalizing the message.
00:33:15.000The reason he's nationalizing the message is because always and forever this was part of a narrative, which is why it was a national story, as opposed to a local crime story.
00:33:20.000As I've discussed before, the way the media work, if a story fits the narrative they're pushing, it becomes a national story.
00:33:25.000If a story does not fit the story they are pushing, then it becomes a local crime story.
00:33:29.000When Kermit Gosnell murders babies after they're born, by the dozens, that is a local crime story.
00:33:34.000When George Floyd dies under Derek Chauvin's knee, that is a national news story.
00:33:39.000The way they determine which is which is simply by determining whether it fits the narrative they are attempting to push at any given moment.
00:33:46.000The president of the United States, of the entire United States, black, white, and green, the president of the United States and the co-president, Kamala Harris.
00:33:52.000First of all, it's super bizarre that Joe Biden constantly trots out Kamala Harris next to him, basically declaring her the heir, right?
00:34:19.000We're going to get to Harris and Biden in one second.

00:36:06.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:36:09.000All righty, so last night, the co-president of the United States and the president of the United States come out and speak on an individual local crime story that is a national story only because Democrats have somehow twisted this into fitting the narrative that America's justice system is entirely racist.
00:36:28.000They use the term systemic racism because it means everything and nothing.
00:36:30.000Systemic racism means that you don't actually have to show that Derek Chauvin was a racist.
00:36:34.000You can say he was the outgrowth of a systemically racist system.
00:36:37.000It also means that you don't actually have to show any discrepancy between the arrest statistics and the report statistics in order for you to declare the system racist.
00:36:44.000Everything is racist and nothing is racist at the same time.
00:36:47.000It is a deliberate mush term in order to be able to implicate a system in evil without actually explaining how the evil is predicated.
00:36:54.000In any case, Kamala Harris comes out, the black vice president of the United States, to declare that America is deeply evil and racist.
00:37:32.000Not only is the entire system still broken, says Kamala Harris, the black vice president of the United States, in a racist, deeply, deeply racist country.
00:37:38.000Not only that, but what we are seeing today in terms of America's systems is exactly the same as what we saw in the Jim Crow era.
00:37:46.000America has a long history of systemic racism.
00:37:46.000a black vice president of the United States during the Jim Crow era, or a two-term black president of the United States, or you know, a black attorney general, or under Barack Obama, or black Supreme Court justice. Like, there are a few differences, but according to Kamala Harris, nope.
00:37:58.000America has a long history of systemic racism. Black Americans and black men in particular have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human.
00:38:13.000Because of smartphones, so many Americans have now seen the racial injustice that black Americans have known for generations.
00:38:22.000The racial injustice that we have fought for generations.
00:38:26.000Okay, so the basic idea is that nothing has changed.
00:38:29.000Now when she says systemic racism, in order to say that nothing has changed, you have to ignore the fact that slavery was legal in the United States until the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
00:38:38.000That Jim Crow was legal in the United States until the Civil Rights Act of 1965.
00:38:58.000gets to the microphone, he says exactly the same sort of stuff.
00:39:01.000Now we all knew what Biden wanted before the verdict came down, right? He said that he wanted the right verdict. He didn't say the system is supposed to work, how the system works. It's not my job to weigh in on this, which is what a normal president would say.
00:39:11.000Somebody who wanted to turn down the temperature. Instead, he turned up the temperature by saying in the middle of the jury deliberations that he wants the right verdict to happen.
00:39:18.000Pretty obviously, he wanted Chauvin convicted.
00:39:21.000They're a good family and they're calling for peace and tranquility no matter what that Don't worry, the outside pressure had nothing to do with the jury verdict here.
00:41:14.000This is policy that is going to get black people killed in the guise of empathy, what he's pushing right now.
00:41:19.000Because what he's suggesting, of course, is a complete crackdown on policing across the country because, of course, if Derek Chauvin, there's no evidence of his racism, then we can only attribute racism to the entire system.
00:41:31.000And, says Joe Biden, and this is the message, takeaway message from the media and the Democrats, is we can't stop here.
00:41:41.000In order to deliver real change and reform, we can and we must do more to reduce the likelihood that tragedies like this will ever happen and occur again.
00:41:52.000To ensure that black and brown people, or anyone, so they don't fear the interactions with law enforcement.
00:42:00.000That they don't have to wake up knowing that they can lose their very life in the course of just living their life.
00:42:07.000They don't have to worry about whether their sons or daughters will come home after a grocery store run or just walking down the street or driving their car or playing in the park or just sleeping at home.
00:42:20.000Black Americans should not be living in fear that they are just going to be gunned down on the street by cops.
00:42:25.000That is utterly unsupportable by any evidence whatsoever.
00:42:28.000The number of unarmed black people shot and killed by the police in the United States every year is less than 20.
00:42:33.000And in many of those cases, We're talking about suspects who are participating in criminal activity that is still dangerous to others.
00:42:40.000The notion that every black American ought to be living in moral fear of the cops is a lie promulgated by politicians for their own systemic gain, for their centralization of power.
00:42:51.000He's a cynical politician who wants centralization of power under his own auspices, and he will lie to black Americans and to white Americans alike in order to get it.
00:42:59.000By saying that America is deeply racist, and this giant crisis of racism, this public health emergency, as Fauci has said, as all the members of the government have said, this giant public health emergency, this giant emergency that tears at the soul of America, can only be solved by this doddering old white man who's half senile, fixing the system from the inside.
00:43:18.000He says the entire system is thoroughly going racist.
00:43:22.000He says we have to acknowledge it and we have to confront it.
00:43:25.000There are consequences to the kind of stuff he's proposing.
00:43:30.000And this takes acknowledging and confronting head on systemic racism and the racial disparities that exist in policing and in our criminal justice system more broadly.
00:43:44.000You know, state and local government and law enforcement needs to step up, but so does the federal government.
00:43:52.000Yes, more power to the federal government.
00:44:12.000One study from Travis Campbell, a PhD student in economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, showed that thanks to the BLM protests from 2014 to 2019, this doesn't even include the massive murder uptick in America's major cities, 30% uptick in murder in America's major cities in 2020, from 2014 to 2019, A 15-20% reduction in lethal use of force by police officers, roughly 300 fewer police homicides, somewhere between 1,000 and 6,000 more homicides than would have occurred.
00:44:41.000You know who's gonna pay the price for getting rid of the cops?
00:44:46.000The predictable outcome of all of this is going to be police officers resigned from the force, nobody signs up for the police forces, the police officers who are there simply avoid actually going to the scenes of crimes because they know that their lives will be ruined even if they do the right thing, let alone if they do the wrong thing.
00:45:00.000You're about to watch a collapse of policing in America's major cities.
00:45:07.000The people who pay the price for that are all the people who live in these cities as businesses leave, as the tax base erodes, as public services get worse, as taxes are increased to compensate and more businesses leave, as the police simply stop operating, We're about to watch America's major cities turn into Detroit.
00:45:32.000We're about to watch an emptying out of America's biggest cities.
00:45:35.000Because if you're a police officer today, and you're watching, the real-time notion that the facts don't matter in each individual case, the only thing that matters is how it fits into the Democrat and media scheme of narrative justice about race in America.
00:45:49.000Why in the world wouldn't you take that early pension and get the hell out?
00:45:53.000Why in the world would you be proactive in your policing?
00:45:57.000There will be effects of this, but it ain't gonna be good for anybody.
00:46:01.000The notion that America has gotten better in any way over the last year, I defy you to show me a statistic demonstrating, a piece of actual data demonstrating that the situation around race in America has improved over the course of the last year.
00:46:14.000Or frankly, over the course of the past 10 years.
00:46:19.000Very difficult to find any data to that effect because it's not improving.
00:46:22.000And it's getting significantly worse because everything must fit into the democratic narrative and it is a lie that America is systemically racist.
00:46:28.000All of our institutions are shot through with racism.
00:46:50.000None of the people, AOC won't feel it.
00:46:52.000None of these people are gonna feel it.
00:46:54.000Everyday American citizens, particularly living in America's biggest cities, are feeling it already, and they're gonna feel it a lot harder in the years to come.
00:47:01.000Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.
00:47:04.000In the meantime, go check out The Michael Mullins Show.
00:47:05.000He discusses more on the Chauvin verdict.
