America prepares for more Black Lives Matter chaos as the Derek Chauvin trial ends, and the media continue to make excuses for insurrection from the left. Ben Shapiro's take on the verdict in the case of the self-defense defense in the death of George Floyd, who was shot to death by a police officer on a street corner in the early morning hours of August 9th, 2015. Ben also notes that the prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Derek was guilty of either second-degree murder or third-degree manslaughter, and argues that the defense may have done enough to prove that he was the victim of excessive force, not a victim of mistaken identity, and that the case should be heard as an ancillary issue, not as a criminal one.

00:00:00.000America prepares for more Black Lives Matter allied chaos as the Chauvin trial ends and the media continue to make excuses for insurrection from the left.

00:01:10.000Just one of the many reasons they've been named the top wireless provider by Consumer Affairs.

00:01:17.000You'll save 50% off your very first month.
00:01:34.000I mean, that's just a frank assessment of the way the evidence was presented.
00:01:38.000I thought the defense presentation was frankly kind of weak.
00:01:41.000I thought the prosecution presentation, as I mentioned, was frankly kind of weak.
00:01:44.000I think the defense may have been better off just saying the prosecution didn't prove its case.
00:01:48.000The prosecution did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Derek Chauvin committed either second or third degree murder or manslaughter.
00:01:53.000And I think they might have gotten away with that because the fact is that the prosecution case did not really get all the way there in terms of causation.
00:02:00.000There was serious question as to whether George Floyd died of excited delirium, whether he died of a drug overdose, whether he died of his pre-existing heart condition.
00:02:07.000They're a serious question as to whether Derek Chauvin used a level of force that was unjustified under the circumstances to the extent that he would be prosecuted for manslaughter.
00:02:32.000Andy McCarthy over at National Review has sort of a similar assessment of the evidence, that if you were on the jury, he thinks maybe he might vote in favor of manslaughter, but probably not in terms of the actual murder charges.
00:02:42.000The judge is going to lay out the jury instructions, and those are going to make a large difference in terms of how the jury finds, presumably, if the jury has listened to the case.
00:02:49.000If that is the case, then the defense is in trouble because the judge has been extraordinarily biased toward the prosecution throughout this process.
00:02:55.000Beginning with the judge's refusal to move the venue of the trial, and then continuing with the judge's reinstatement of the third-degree murder charge, which really doesn't apply, and then continuing with the judge allowing a full week of testimony from onlookers just talking about how disturbed they were by the entire event, which of course is not probative in any way and actually does not constitute any sort of evidence as to the guilt or innocence of the party involved.
00:03:16.000In any case, all of this is ancillary.
00:03:19.000And here's the problem in America, folks.
00:04:11.000I said that it was some of the worst imagery I'd seen in America since 9-11.
00:04:13.000The idea of rioters running into the Capitol building itself and occupying the speaker seat and threatening the Speaker of the House and threatening the Vice President of the United States.
00:04:36.000The notion that this provided some sort of large-scale threat to the Republic was asinine, as proved by the fact that the minute that those people were cleared out, Congress went right back to its chamber and did exactly what it was gonna do in the first place.
00:04:46.000There was never a true threat to overthrow the government of the United States on January 6th, not in any practical, meaningful way.
00:04:52.000There was a true threat in the sense that these people were threatening to do so, but they didn't have the power to do so.
00:04:56.000What we are watching right now across the United States, however, is an attempt to overthrow, and we are looking at getting rid of systems in the United States Specifically on the basis that they are all corrupted at their root and they must be torn out.
00:05:09.000And if it has to happen through violence, it will happen through revolutionary aggression.
00:05:12.000What we're watching is the rise of left-wing authoritarianism, aided and abetted by the media and by the Democratic Party.
00:05:16.000It is aided and abetted by people in power.
00:05:19.000If you're talking about an attempt to overthrow systems of the American government, you have to pay attention when that is happening from within the House.
00:05:27.000In the same way that it would have been a much bigger story and a much more important story January 6th if there had been members of Congress or the Trump administration actively colluding with people to overthrow the Republic.
00:05:38.000The notion that you have people in power in the United States who are actively willing to overthrow things like due process, who are actively willing to overthrow things like field teach law, who are actively willing to overthrow the idea of equal rights under the law in pursuit of some sort of utopian equity scheme.
00:06:01.000How is it that we are living in a country where we are at the point where we are worried that if the mob does not get its way in the Chauvin trial, right or wrong, if they don't get their way, we know that things will burn.
00:06:13.000Can you think of anything else in American life that is like this?
00:06:15.000Seriously, can you think of any other example that is like this?
00:06:18.000Where you know that if a group of people does not get its way, that that group of people will run around burning things, and the media will cheer them, and members of a major American party will proceed to clap them on the back and call them friends.
00:06:30.000Even after the January 6th incident, did you see lots of Republicans emerging from the woodwork to talk about how these people were wonderful and justified?
00:06:38.000Can you name five mainstream Republicans who said this?
00:06:48.000If they condemn the rioting, they certainly won't condemn the underlying ideology of the rioting.
00:06:52.000You won't find five Democrats in America to talk about what's happening in Portland.
00:06:56.000You won't find five Democrats in America to talk about the simple fact that if the Chauvin trial does not end with the conviction of Derek Chauvin, what you will end up with is the burning down of American cities.
00:07:14.000Imagine any other cause in American life where the entire system would just accept the fact that America is supposed to shut down and allow things to burn if a group of people does not get its way under due process of law in the United States.
00:07:27.000We're not even talking about people not getting their way in terms of legislation or people not getting their way in terms of a presidential election.
00:07:32.000We are talking about people not getting their way in terms of a conviction of an individual who is being charged with murder and manslaughter and may spend decades in prison if convicted.
00:07:42.000Can you imagine anything else like this in America?
00:07:59.000This is nothing new in American politics, honestly.
00:08:01.000If you go back to major American cities in the 1960s, when they were burning, sometimes you would have politicians actively fomenting people outside the government, participating in insurrectionary behavior, so they could turn around and say, I need to appease these people, or they might burn down the house.
00:08:13.000That's sort of what you are seeing right now in American politics.
00:08:15.000We'll get to more of this in just one second, because the utter sort of casualness with which we are treating the fact that we all know that America is going to burn if Chauvin doesn't get convicted, is indicative of something far deeper and far more scary than anything that happened on January 6th.
00:08:31.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:08:35.000Nobody wants to stand in line at an auto parts store.
00:08:37.000That's why you ought to use the internet for this sort of stuff.
00:08:39.000Why would you go to an auto parts store, wait in line, you get to the front of the line, finally, at the very end of that line, you answer a bunch of questions, and they say they need to order their part in line, then they upcharge you.
00:08:49.000Instead, just go to rockauto.com and cut out the middleman.
00:08:51.000RockAuto is so much easier than walking into a store and someone demanding quick answers to things like, quote, is your Odyssey an LX or an EX?
00:08:58.000You're not gonna know the answer to that right off the top of your head.
00:09:01.000Instead, just go online, answer all the questions, get your part.
00:09:04.000RockAuto.com always offers the lowest prices possible, rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear, like airlines do.
00:09:09.000Why would you spend up to twice as much for the same parts?
00:09:46.000Okay, so according to Axios, Minnesota is waking up to images of an occupied city on Monday as the city and the world awaited a verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial.
00:09:54.000Residents running errands, picking up dinner, and heading to the dog park in recent days encountered heavily armed National Guard troops stationed throughout the city.
00:10:01.000Some streets downtown are barricaded as far from the courthouse as Hennepin Avenue, and even more businesses across Minneapolis and St.
00:10:07.000Now, we've been treated to the narrative from the left that all of Washington, D.C.
00:10:11.000had to be enclosed in barbed wire because of the threat of January 6th.
00:10:14.000And then it turns out that the Capitol Police officer, the next Capitol Police officer, who was murdered by somebody attempting to do harm to the system, was in fact a member of the Black Hebrew nationalist, I believe, right?
00:10:25.000He was a radical nation of Islam followers or something.
00:10:36.000Nobody paid attention to it because it didn't fit the narrative.
00:10:38.000But the idea behind the barbed wiring of the Capitol was that this was an on... January 6th was an ongoing, ever-present threat.
00:10:44.000Remember, we were told in the aftermath of January 6th that on Inauguration Day there would be giant protests around the country and things would burn.
00:10:51.000But we all know that major American cities are going to burn because major American cities are already burning.
00:10:56.000Thanks to the Derek Chauvin trial and because of police incidents with people of color.
00:11:01.000According to Axios, for months, officials and residents have braced for the possibility of more unrest at the culmination of the trial.
00:11:06.000Operation Safety Net, a centralized command of state and local law enforcement, was formed to prevent a repeat of the fires and looting that followed George Floyd's killing last summer.
00:11:13.000But the jury deliberations, which will begin following Monday's closing arguments, are coming at an especially fraught time.
00:11:20.000The police shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center has already raised heightened community tensions ahead of the verdict.
00:11:28.000These are people who are fine with people rioting and looting.
00:11:29.000tear gas and other less lethal munitions.
00:11:32.000And treatment of the press sparked intense backlash from protesters, local lawmakers, even doctors.
00:11:37.000The Minneapolis City Council passed a largely symbolic resolution on Friday seeking to rein the operation in.
00:11:42.000Some activists and local lawmakers are calling on Governor Tim Walz and mayors to dismantle Operation Safety Net altogether, right?
00:11:47.000These are people who are fine with people rioting and looting.
00:12:13.000According to ESPN, the NBA has instructed teams to be vigilant about the impact of a potential verdict this week in the Derek Chauvin trial for the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, including the possibility of game postponement, sources told ESPN.
00:12:25.000The looming specter of possible protests, civil unrest, and team reactions in the aftermath of a verdict has the league office preparing for the prospect that a night or two of league games could be postponed this week, sources said.
00:12:34.000Used to be, by the way, in the United States that only a natural disaster or a world war would actually postpone national games like this.
00:12:40.000But now, anytime there is a controversial verdict, On a racial issue, we have to postpone NBA games.
00:12:46.000The Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets postponed a game last week after the police shot an unarmed black man, Daunte Wright, during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
00:12:55.000The Timberwolves started a four-game, seven-day Western Conference road trip on Sunday in Los Angeles.
00:13:01.000The NBA and WNBA postponed a full slate of playoff games after another black man, Jacob Blake, was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin during the NBA restart in Orlando, Florida.
00:13:09.000The Milwaukee Bucks boycotted a playoff game against the Orlando Magic, triggering a full stoppage of league games for three days.
00:13:14.000That was not because of fear of violence.
00:13:16.000That was because members of the league decided they were full on in favor of people burning things and rioting and looting, apparently, in favor of Jacob Blake, a man who had been accused of digital rape.
00:13:29.000And who, by the way, pulled the knife on police officers.
00:13:32.000So we are now living in a situation in which any incident that is portrayed by the media as a racial injustice is cause for cities to burn and NBA games to be postponed.
00:13:42.000And by the way, public schools to go distance.
00:13:45.000According to Minnesota CBS Local, in anticipation of a verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial next week, Minneapolis public schools said in a letter to families that all grades will transition to distance learning Wednesday through Friday.
00:13:55.000So children are being forced home from school.
00:13:57.000By the way, doing amazing work on behalf of black children in Minneapolis, sending them home from public school.
00:14:17.000It also means that we're living in a country where we all expect that mob violence is going to break out when things don't go the way that the mob wants.
00:14:25.000That is not something that should be expected in a country that has rule of law.
00:14:30.000You have a few things that you can expect as a citizen of the United States.
00:14:32.000One should be You can expect a certain level of safety and security in your community.
00:14:38.000Not just from cops who are supposedly the deep abiding threat to your community, which is a lie, but you should be able to expect that your community is not going to go up in flames.
00:14:46.000You ought to be able to expect that every time there's a criminal trial or a shooting without any evidence, by the way, because we've seen riots and looting after incidents that don't even end with a trial because it turns out that the shoot was good.
00:14:59.000The fact that we expect this is number one, the soft bigotry of low expectations for Black Lives Matter protesters slash rioters, and number two, part of a full-scale belief by the left that this is just the armed insurrectionist wing of a broader movement that ought to lay low America's institutions and ideologies.
00:15:14.000But these people are just a little too passionate.
00:15:19.000They're not doing anything that's truly wrong.
00:15:21.000They're just raging out of control, because after all, this rage is justified.
00:15:26.000If you're talking about the danger to the systems of the United States, I'm, again, not talking about the dangers of racism, because most of these situations, in fact, I'm hard-pressed to think of a situation in the past few years that has resulted in riots and looting that eventually ended up being chalked up to actual racism.
00:15:45.000Usually it's police misconduct, police brutality, police accident, or police doing the right thing, and it ends with rioting and looting.
00:15:53.000But the systems that people wish to tear down are systems of due process of law, systems of individual justice, and systems of private property.
00:15:59.000These are systems that BLM explicitly opposes in many cases.
00:16:03.000And private property being one of them, unless you're Patrice Cullors buying a $1.4 million estate in Topanga Canyon with all the white folks.
00:16:09.000And again, aided and abetted by the institutions in our society.
00:16:27.000How about say that the police are not going out and willy-nilly shooting black people for no reason?
00:16:33.000Instead, you have Joe Biden out there saying that black people are being targeted by the police on the basis of race.
00:16:39.000That America has a systemic racism problem within its police.
00:16:43.000Of course, he switches his tune every time a police officer is killed.
00:16:45.000Then he'll stand by the casket and talk about how wonderful police officers are.
00:16:49.000But that's not the overarching message as to how he thinks the system of policing in the United States works.
00:16:52.000This coming from a man who sponsored the 1994 crime bill.
00:16:56.000We'll get to more of this in just one second, because if you are talking about the real insurrection inside the United States, the most dangerous insurrectionists and their enablers, that is not happening in terms of the January 6th QAnon crazies.
00:17:10.000That is happening from a mainstream ideology that has taken over the Democratic Party and that is rife in the media and rife in the universities and is being cudgeled into the corporations, into the corporate culture.
00:17:21.000The institutions under which we live our lives are being gradually infused with a viewpoint that means the overthrow of traditional American values.
00:17:31.000Traditional American values is not a euphemism.
00:17:33.000I mean values expressed in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States.
00:17:36.000It doesn't get much more traditional than that.
00:17:38.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:17:41.000First, let us talk for a second about your nutrition.
00:17:44.000The reality is that if you want to get healthy and stay healthy, you need to know how to make decisions.
00:17:47.000Because if you want to stay healthy, healthy is a lifestyle.
00:17:51.000Most diets end up with you yo-yoing, right?
00:17:54.000You lose some weight, and then you gain some weight, and you don't stick with it.
00:17:56.000Noom is a habit-changing system, and that is what Noom is there to do.
00:18:00.000They give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make strategic choices that turn into long-term habits.
00:18:04.000Those long-term habits turn into a healthy, happier you.
00:18:07.000Noom is based in science, built by psychologists.
00:18:09.000Noom doesn't give you rules, instead teaches you how to think, so you can accomplish your personal health goals, stick with them long term, and get healthy for good.
00:18:16.000Based in psychology, Noom will teach you why you make the choices you do, and give you the tools to replace your habits with healthier ones.
00:18:22.000Noom's cognitive behavioral approach means you're not just improving your health, you're getting the knowledge and habits you need to stay healthy.
00:18:26.000That is super important, because again, you've got to get nutrition and health into your lifestyle, and Noom helps you do this by changing the way you think.
00:18:33.000Over 80% of Noomers finish the program, over 60% have stuck with their goals for at least one year, which is huge.
00:18:38.000There is a science to getting healthier.
00:18:53.000OK, again, this is this is part and parcel, this mentality that if the Chauvin trial doesn't go the way that people want it to go, that things burn.
00:19:00.000That's part of a broader mentality, which is that if we don't get our way, the systems of the United States are to blame because America's systems are corrupt and they need to be torn down to the root.
00:19:08.000So Chris Cuomo, and this is enabled by your media.
00:19:11.000First of all, before we even get to the media, let me just say that there are incidents all over the United States that the media just don't want to cover as national issues.
00:19:18.000And what counts as a national issue is a data point that backs a media narrative.
00:19:22.000Or even a data point that doesn't quite fit into the media narrative, but could be theoretically interpreted to maybe fit into the media narrative.
00:19:29.000Those are stories that are national stories.
00:19:30.000Kermit Gosnell killing babies after they're born doesn't fit into the media narrative about abortions.
00:19:37.000Derek Chauvin is a national news story because you can maybe, if you twist it and turn it and view it through the prism of systemic racism, maybe you can get to the idea that George Floyd died because of deep-seated American racism, as opposed to George Floyd's own actions in resisting arrest, his being high as a kite on fentanyl, his previous health condition, and maybe the misapplication of force by Derek Chauvin.
00:19:59.000If you twist and turn it, you can fit into the narrative, so maybe it is a national news story.
00:20:02.000But there are other stories that are not national news stories because they don't fit the narrative.
00:20:06.000Like, for example, cops being attacked with Molotov cocktails in New York City.
00:20:10.000This, of course, is never going to fit the narrative.
00:20:12.000So, you had a situation in which the police had some sort of chemical thrown on them.
00:20:42.000But why should why should traffic cops have have guns?
00:20:45.000Why should the cops be able to defend themselves?
00:20:46.000Obviously, people getting pulled over are never going to do anything bad.
00:20:50.000Meanwhile, a suspect fired at cops in Georgia.
00:20:52.000Again, not a national news story because even though it does fit a narrative, which is that suspects very often do resist arrest and cops have to do things to stop those suspects, You don't want to hear about those incidents, because that might lend a bit of nuance to how we treat police activity in the United States, where there are well over 40, 40 million police-civilian interactions every single year in the United States, and fewer than 20 of them generally end in the death of an unarmed black person.
00:21:16.000Or at least the shooting of an unarmed black man.
00:21:18.000We don't know the statistics on non-shootings, but it can't be much higher than that, considering that guns are the most common weapon used in the majority of these cases, presumably.
00:21:27.000Here, for example, is a situation in Georgia where a suspect fired at cops.
00:21:47.000Because this footage does not fit the narrative.
00:21:50.000You call for gun control when it's a white person shooting up a Walmart.
00:21:52.000You don't call for gun control when it is a suspect of color shooting at the cops using a gun like that.
00:21:57.000Then you just ignore it and it's not a national news story.
00:21:59.000Then you literally just don't talk about it.
00:22:01.000Then it is just not a national news story in any way, shape, or form.
00:22:05.000And again, the insurrectionist viewpoint here, that the United States is evil and needs to be overthrown from the inside if possible, and forced from the outside if necessary, has become extremely common on a wide variety of topics in this area.
00:22:23.000Now we get to the media and we get to the Democrats, who are softly backing this sort of stuff.
00:22:27.000Again, the rioting in Portland has been ongoing for months at this point.
00:22:32.000As John Sexton points out at Hot Air, rioting and arson in Portland have been continuing for literally months.
00:22:39.000There was a fatal police shooting at a park in Portland Friday morning.
00:22:42.000It started when a call was placed to the cops reporting a white man pointing a gun in the park.
00:22:46.000According to a witness who filmed the encounter, the man became irate.
00:22:49.000He was shirtless, didn't appear to be armed at that point, though the witness said he'd seen him with a gun earlier.
00:22:53.000Now, again, you notice that's not a national news story because it's a white person getting shot by the cops.
00:22:57.000the ground. One of the officers shot him and the man died at the scene. Now again, you notice that's not a national news story because it's a white person getting shot by the cops. Friday evening, there were two protests announced and Antifa account called for occupation of the park where the shooting happened. They said that BLM was not welcome because quote, this is again, according to Antifa, to be clear, black unity and BLM squad are not welcome at the occupation because all they do is bring megaphones to exploit Portland's white guilt and swoop bleep. Okay.
00:23:32.000Andy Ngo, of course, had the footage because this is some of the stuff that he covers.
00:23:34.000However, as you can see, Portland burning.
00:23:36.000And they targeted the Portland Historical Society and the First Christian Church in downtown Portland.
00:23:52.000They spray-painted No More History on the Oregon Historical Society, which, I mean, at least they're saying the quiet part out loud right there.
00:24:00.000They targeted Nordstrom and Nike, so all of Nike's wokeness didn't buy them any help from Antifa.
00:24:05.000And they painted Killed Cops on the side of buildings, which is always great.
00:24:09.000Meanwhile, rioters decided that they were going to go hog wild in Oakland as well.
00:24:49.000Okay, and when I say that this is being fomented and encouraged by members of the media, I don't know any other way to read it other than the media really kind of tutting this stuff, pretending that it doesn't really matter, because again, these are just the most ardent of the protesters.
00:25:07.000It is not that they are doing something that is different in kind, they're just doing something that's different in degree.
00:25:12.000Which is why it's not a big deal to the left when Maxine Waters says that Black Lives Matter should get more confrontational if Chauvin isn't convicted.
00:25:19.000This is the same woman who declared during the L.A.
00:25:23.000The same woman who declared just a few years ago that you should actively confront members of the Trump administration if you see them in public.
00:25:27.000So it's not a surprise to hear Maxine Waters generating sympathy for people who, to get actively violent.
00:26:34.000Meanwhile, the media providing cover for this sort of stuff, even in soft ways.
00:26:39.000Again, soft bigotry of law expectations with regard to behavior.
00:26:41.000So CNN, Miguel Martinez, he was at some of these riots the other night in Minneapolis, and some of these protesters went over and started attempting to confront, as Maxine Waters might say, the members of the media.
00:26:54.000And here's Miguel Martinez kind of, ah, you know, they're just angry.
00:26:58.000Somebody hit me with a water bottle and then we sort of just started moving toward our cars.
00:27:02.000They continued to sort of pelt us with whatever they could find.
00:27:07.000I cannot blame them for being angry, but you know, a lot of people are very angry, suspicious of the press, the corporate media, all those things come into it at these places.
00:27:17.000And it was just one of those situations that it was intense.
00:27:21.000There were people who were angry at everything and everybody, and we happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:27:26.000Oh, we happened to be in the... Actually, no, you were in the right place at the right time doing what is called reporting, and then a bunch of people acting like garbage decided to attack journalists.
00:27:38.000Now, just imagine for a second that this has been a crowd of Trump protesters, angry at everything from Covington, Catholic coverage from CNN, to the Russia collusion nonsense pushed by CNN for years.
00:27:49.000And imagine that they had actually started assaulting journalists.
00:27:54.000It would be a national news story about how Trump supporters are viciously anti-media, how Trump had driven the violence, and how the true authoritarian threat against the press in the United States is coming from the right.
00:28:04.000CNN tried to generate that story even without evidence that people were really targeting the press in mass numbers.
00:28:58.000They just don't know we're against the system.
00:29:00.000We were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:29:01.000Because if we were in the right place at the right time, what we really would have been is we would have been standing next to them, is the reality.
00:29:07.000That's an unbelievable quote from a so-called journalist.
00:29:28.000Again, it's part and parcel of a broader narrative pushed by the American left that you can do anything you want so long as you are anti the system.
00:29:36.000It plays into the whole system of white supremacy narrative that is generated by the same CNN.
00:29:40.000Here's Chris Cuomo the other day saying police reform is only not happening because it's black people getting shot, which is statistically untrue.
00:29:46.000More white people are shot by the cops every year than black people.
00:29:49.000And yet here is Chris Cuomo, dolt of the century, suggesting, and by the way, congenital liar when it comes to coverage of his brother and corrupt as all get out.
00:29:57.000Here he is still on CNN, still reporting on CNN, suggesting that police reform only starts when white people's kids get shot by the cops.
00:30:15.000Smoking that doobie that's actually legal, probably, in your state now, but they don't know what it was, and then the kid runs, and then, pop, pop, pop, pop!
00:30:53.000They've been doing this going back a year.
00:30:54.000They were making excuses for the mostly peaceful protests that were breaking out all around America's cities.
00:31:00.000Okay, by the same standard that what was going on in Kenosha, Wisconsin, or L.A., or Washington, or Chicago, or New York, or any other major American city that broke into flames during the George Floyd riots?
00:31:09.000By that same token, January 6th was a mostly peaceful protest.
00:31:13.000Because most of the people there didn't go into the Capitol building.
00:31:17.000Okay, but the media, again, they are invested in this lie.
00:31:21.000They are invested in the insurrectionist cause, which again, is to tear down equal systems of justice in the United States, due process of law in the United States, individual rights in the United States, a belief that we should be treated as individuals in the United States, a belief that you have actual rights to your property and against government.
00:31:40.000And if that means incentivizing a few people to go loot a footlocker, then you know what?
00:31:43.000That's just the way things are gonna go.
00:31:45.000If it means incentivizing Minneapolis schools to shut down for two days so kids can't go to school, no problem.
00:31:50.000If it means making sure that NBA games are canceled, if it means making sure that we all are on notice, we, the American citizen, the body politic, we are on notice, that should this trial go the wrong way, your city burns, and we will just cover it.
00:32:04.000And if we get hit in the coverage by the rioters, that's our fault, guys, because they're really good-hearted.
00:32:16.000Okay, that does not mean that they are individually responsible for people going and committing criminal acts, because again, human beings have agency.
00:32:23.000But you are part of a broader movement that makes excuses for this crap.
00:33:00.000Seriously, how stupid do you think the American people are?
00:33:04.000We now have an expectation that this is going to, an expectation, not it happens and we're shocked, not it happens and we react by going, What the hell is going on?
00:33:27.000The insurrection is part of the system now.
00:33:30.000Hey, which means that things happen and we're not even surprised at them anymore.
00:33:34.000Things that should be surprising and shocking are not surprising to us.
00:33:38.000For example, the former Santa Rosa home of Barry Broad is Santa Rosa CBS reporting.
00:33:44.000Barry Broad testified as a defense witness in the Derek Chauvin murder trial.
00:33:46.000It was smeared, his home, his former home, was smeared with animal blood.
00:33:50.000A severed pig's head was dumped on the front porch in an early Saturday morning vandalism attack.
00:33:54.000Don't worry, it's not a national news story, guys, not a national news story, because after all, he did testify for the defense.
00:34:00.000Now imagine that one of the witnesses in the George Floyd killing had a white supremacist arrive on their doorstep, paint it with blood, and dump a pig's head on the doorstep.
00:34:10.000Would that be a national news story, you think?
00:34:12.000Would that lead news coverage for a week?
00:34:14.000But Barry Broad testifies for the defense, and somebody covers his former home, where they thought he lived, in blood and dumps a pig head on his front door.
00:34:23.000Investigators believe the vandals thought that Broad still lived at the residence, but he hasn't been a Santa Rosa resident for a number of years.
00:34:31.000Just beautiful, beautiful stuff happening in our country.
00:34:34.000And all this, this is all part of the healing.
00:34:36.000Don't you feel the healing breaking out?
00:34:38.000When I say the media are complicit in this sort of stuff, I mean they're complicit in this sort of stuff.
00:34:42.000Jason Nguyen is an Emmy-nominated investigative reporter in Utah for ABC.
00:34:48.000He tweeted out a picture of a man entering a home in Utah.
00:34:52.000It was reported by The Guardian as well.
00:35:32.000All right, coming up, we'll get into the broader argument, which is that everything in America is racist.
00:35:36.000America's history, America's institutions, everything in America is racist.
00:35:40.000And that justifies the insurrectionist attitude that we are seeing throughout the media, throughout our politics, and on the streets of the United States.
00:35:46.000First, it's almost time for another new episode of Candice.
00:35:50.000This week's special guest, Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which is the largest mixed martial arts MMA organization on planet Earth.
00:35:57.000Under Dana's leadership, the UFC has grown into a globally popular multi-billion dollar enterprise.

00:36:47.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:36:51.000Again, the narrative when it comes to January 6th, that it was part of a broader American Where's the broader American movement?
00:37:17.000Because statistically speaking, that's what we were watching.
00:37:19.000Okay, it was like several hundred people.
00:37:23.000What I'm watching on the other side is institutions that have been completely collapsing from the inside in favor of a mentality that says that America's basic notion of itself is not only wrong and unjustified, but needs to be torn asunder.
00:37:37.000Which is why you have people like L.Z.
00:37:39.000Randerson appearing on ABC's This Week saying that America continues to be white supremacist.
00:37:44.000In terms of Marjorie Greene and that particular caucus, in denouncing her, many Republicans talked about how America wasn't built on these ideas.
00:37:55.000The reality is this country was built on white supremacy.
00:37:58.000And the reason why she's supported is because white supremacy is still very much a part of the American fabric.
00:38:03.000So until we can acknowledge that, we're going to constantly be addressing these racial issues, particularly as they pertain to immigration.
00:38:09.000We're going to have to end there, but you made your point.
00:38:11.000And Martha Raddatz, everybody here is nodding along.
00:38:15.000It's very important that everybody nod along to all of this nonsense.
00:38:19.000Because if you don't nod along, this means that you're not woke.
00:38:22.000It means that you don't understand America's horrific history with race.
00:38:25.000It means that you're not part of the movement, if you don't nod along to this sort of stuff.
00:38:30.000By the way, what LZ Granderson is referring to there is the fact that there are some of the more right-wing members of the Republican caucus, including fringe members like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who have posited that they wanted to create an America First caucus.
00:38:44.000That America First caucus was supposed to work toward an infrastructure that reflects the architectural, engineering, and aesthetic value that befits the progeny of European architecture.
00:39:28.000Anglo-American legal systems have been discussed by virtually every American president, including, by the way, Barack Obama, who not all that long ago was talking about the importance of habeas corpus The world is watching what we do here today in America.
00:39:54.000And they'll treat all of us accordingly in the future.
00:39:57.000Our soldiers, our diplomats, our journalists, anyone who travels beyond these borders.
00:40:04.000I hope we remember this as we go forward, I sincerely hope that we can protect what's been called the Great Writ, a writ that's been in place in the Anglo-American legal system for Over 700 years.
00:40:21.000By the way, you can see how all of this has shifted over the course of time for the Democrats.
00:40:25.000How terms that are not racist are now being treated as racist.
00:40:30.000If you believe that Anglo-Saxon heritage is somehow a rip on people who are not of Anglo-Saxon extraction, I'm Jewish, okay?
00:40:39.000I have no dog in this Anglo-Saxon heritage routine.
00:41:02.000You can call it racist as much as you want, but the simple fact is that there are many good things about our Anglo-Saxon heritage As a culture, those are good.
00:41:11.000Nobody is saying that everybody in America needs to be Anglo-Saxon.
00:41:49.000I had never been in England, but at the end of my year, I went to England, and I felt at home.
00:41:57.000There is no doubt that American culture, American common culture, which nobody has to belong to, originates with English culture.
00:42:09.000Why is that even remotely controversial?
00:42:10.000It's controversial because anything is evidence that the true threat to America is this intense white supremacy that continues to govern our lives despite the fact that it's pretty incredible that in a white supremacist country, a thoroughgoing white supremacist country, you can expect that every five minutes or so there's going to be a riot looting justified by the media and then tutted by Democrats while saying that the rioters and looters have the justification of good on their side.
00:42:33.000And of course, all of this ties in that that broader American narrative that is being pushed by the left is about tearing away at the civil institutions of the society.
00:42:40.000It's about tearing away any common commonality we have between ourselves separate from racial tribalism.
00:42:48.000It's about making the country a worse place on the basis of the argument that America is already a terrible place.
00:43:16.000The intense push by the left to rewrite the American bargain on the back of lies about what America is, and then to wink and nod at people who are engaging in acts of vandalism, looting, rioting, burning, arson, attacks on police officers.
00:43:34.000And to treat that as not some form of larger insurrectionist attempt to overthrow these institutions in the soft, non-legal sense?
00:43:44.000You have a right, as an American, to expect that the systems of power in the United States, the systems of government under the Constitution, that are constrained by the Constitution and the Declaration, are not overthrown by people who wish to see them die.
00:43:56.000But I'll say that that right is certainly being infringed.
00:43:59.000All righty, we'll be back here later today for an additional hour of The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:44:02.000In the meantime, go check out The Michael Knowles Show, where he discusses Canada announcing a public health dictatorship.
00:44:07.000You can hear more details about that story over on Michael's Show.
