00:01:49.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:52.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:53.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:02:03.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:11.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:14.000 Hey, everybody.

00:02:15.000 Welcome to this special episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:02:17.000 I am joined by a friend of mine, Brandon Tatum, known as Officer Tatum.

00:02:22.000 He has just exploded in the last couple months.

00:02:25.000 I think just the last six weeks.

00:02:26.000 Yes, yes.

00:02:27.000 Brandon has done some fun stuff with us at Turning Point USA.

00:02:30.000 We've gone to college campuses together.

00:02:32.000 We have done all sorts of things, but Brand is a former police officer from here in Arizona, played at University of Arizona football.

00:02:40.000 And Brandon has been one of the most courageous, clear voices in the last few weeks.

00:02:47.000 I just want to say, Brandon, you deserve a lot of credit because you have really gone out and said, this is what is right and what is true in the world, and this is what is not, especially with since the killing of George Floyd.

00:03:01.000 So I just want to thank you on behalf of the conservative movement and honestly, on behalf of our country.

00:03:06.000 I appreciate that.

00:03:07.000 I appreciate it, man.

00:03:08.000 I mean, you go out every day.

00:03:09.000 You're much younger than me, and you're leading by example, man.

00:03:13.000 I mean, your courage and stuff is, it radiates.

00:03:15.000 So, you know, I get a lot of my courage from people like you.

00:03:18.000 Well, so let's take a little step back.

00:03:21.000 The murder of George Floyd.

00:03:23.000 Both of us said that the police officer acted incorrectly.

00:03:27.000 We both, I think it was total agreement.

00:03:29.000 Everyone said this was something that...

00:03:31.000 Everybody in the world.

00:03:32.000 Everybody in the world.

00:03:33.000 Have you ever found anyone that disagreed?

00:03:35.000 No, never.

00:03:36.000 Never.

00:03:37.000 Not one person have disagreed that the police officer did not act appropriately, which led to the death of George Floyd.

00:03:43.000 Not one person I've ever met.

00:03:45.000 Not even people online.

00:03:46.000 I have seen nobody online.

00:03:47.000 Not even trolls.

00:03:48.000 Not even trolls.

00:03:49.000 They may criticize him after, but they are saying that the police officer was wrong.

00:03:53.000 And yet as soon as that incident happened, which again, we denounce, we say it was evil, the media said we're divided.

00:04:00.000 We're divided over race?

00:04:02.000 And so now, Brandon, you got to explain this to me.

00:04:05.000 We're renaming the Washington Redskins because a cop did something evil in Minneapolis.

00:04:11.000 How did that happen?

00:04:12.000 See, man, it's a bigger agenda.

00:04:15.000 It has nothing to do with George Floyd.

00:04:16.000 I believe it has nothing to do with George Floyd.

00:04:18.000 That was their excuse to roll down this path of destroying America.

00:04:23.000 Because I don't understand how taxing the wealthy has anything to do with George Floyd.

00:04:28.000 Defunding police all over the country has anything to do with George Floyd in Minneapolis.

00:04:33.000 I mean, mind you, in 2019, Minneapolis had one unarmed black person shot by police.

00:04:39.000 One in the entire year.

00:04:41.000 And then this situation was an unfortunate situation with Officer Chauvin.

00:04:45.000 How in the world did that translate to just destroying America and protesting every day?

00:04:51.000 And, you know, mind you, they have killed more African-American people in these riots and protests around the country in the name of George Floyd than the police officers have done for unarmed black people in the last two years.

00:05:04.000 Yes.

00:05:05.000 What have they accomplished?

00:05:06.000 Well, and so you look at the statistics around police brutality.

00:05:11.000 You were a police officer.

00:05:12.000 You understand how difficult this job is, right?

00:05:14.000 And I love these white liberals that play Monday morning quarterback, right?

00:05:18.000 First of all, they have, let's just say, a body configuration where lifting a 20-pound weight would be difficult.

00:05:24.000 And so they think they know what they would do when your adrenaline is pumping, your life is being threatened.

00:05:30.000 When they're talking about the incident in Atlanta, I don't want to misspeak on the individual side.

00:05:34.000 I think it's Rayshard Brooks.

00:05:35.000 Is that correct?

00:05:36.000 Or the incident in Minneapolis, which, of course, no one defends.

00:05:42.000 However, also, we have to understand that Derek Chauvin and George Floyd knew each other.

00:05:46.000 They had a history with each other.

00:05:48.000 So that's an interesting contribution to the conversation where it might have been less about race and maybe more about how they knew.

00:05:55.000 We don't know, right?

00:05:56.000 And so just implying that it was inherently a racist incident, I think is racist in and of itself.

00:06:01.000 But these Monday morning quarterbacks that these white liberals, they comment, they say, well, don't you know that the police officer should have done this?

00:06:10.000 You were a police officer.

00:06:11.000 Tell us how hard it is.

00:06:12.000 Because you're talking about nanoseconds of a decision that could ruin your life.

00:06:17.000 Right.

00:06:18.000 Yeah.

00:06:18.000 Or end your life.

00:06:19.000 And what people don't understand, because they've never been exposed to this, never been through training, they've never been in the shoes of a police officer, never had the uniform on.

00:06:26.000 Just wearing a vest every day creates this adrenaline feeling in your body because you have to go out and protect and serve.

00:06:35.000 And you know when you put that vest on that you are facing life and death on a day-to-day basis.

00:06:40.000 Now, when things happen, see, most people have never been in a fight, right?

00:06:44.000 All these liberals talking, they've never been punched in the face.

00:06:46.000 Now, there's a physical response when you get punched in the face or when you're in a life and death fight for your fight for your life situation that people don't understand unless they've been there.

00:06:56.000 And in the case of Rayshard Brooks, man, you got a guy who was peaceful.

00:07:00.000 Y'all were having a conversation.

00:07:02.000 And all of a sudden, without warning, he snaps.

00:07:06.000 And he didn't just snap. 0.99

00:07:07.000 He's whooping their butts. 1.00

00:07:09.000 He's throwing them around like ragdolls. 0.98

00:07:11.000 Now, just imagine getting thrown around by this guy, wondering to yourself, why is he doing this?

00:07:17.000 It's just a DUI.

00:07:18.000 Why is he doing?

00:07:19.000 Now he's got my taser. 0.91

00:07:21.000 Is he going to try to kill us?

00:07:22.000 What has this guy done that has led him to this situation?

00:07:26.000 And all this is happening like this.

00:07:27.000 Yes.

00:07:28.000 And what people do is they watch the video and they say, oh, I would have done something different.

00:07:33.000 You can't say that.

00:07:34.000 First of all, you've never been in a physical altercation.

00:07:37.000 Many years back, I happened to play athletics.

00:07:39.000 I know what it's like to do that.

00:07:42.000 You don't exactly think methodically in those moments, right?

00:07:46.000 And our police officers in that moment, Rayshard Brooks, I thought they were more restrained.

00:07:50.000 They were.

00:07:51.000 They were.

00:07:52.000 And then you have these people say, Well, they shouldn't have fired the weapon.

00:07:55.000 Maybe, maybe not.

00:07:55.000 However, it's perfectly justifiable, and you could say this, Brandon, as soon as another deadly weapon is introduced into the situation to use another deadly weapon, correct?

00:08:03.000 Right.

00:08:03.000 I mean, think about this.

00:08:04.000 People may not understand Georgia law, but in the Georgia law, the taser is a firearm.

00:08:09.000 It's considered a firearm in the law, which is a deadly weapon.

00:08:12.000 So if you point a deadly weapon at a police officer, a police officer feels that their life is in immediate physical, bodily injury or death, they can utilize deadly force.

00:08:20.000 See, people conflate deadly force usage with murder, right?

00:08:25.000 You have to understand this: was the use of force appropriate?

00:08:29.000 Were they justified in using force that they did?

00:08:32.000 Unfortunately, it caused the death of another person because they could have shot him and he would have survived.

00:08:37.000 But the use of force is the justifiable measure. 0.56

00:08:40.000 Yes.

00:08:40.000 People are focusing on the end result, the fact that he died.

00:08:43.000 Well, yeah.

00:08:43.000 And so finish the thought.

00:08:45.000 Sorry.

00:08:45.000 So the fact that he died.

00:08:46.000 So people have to understand what is justifiable use of force.

00:08:50.000 That is easily articulated in the statute.

00:08:53.000 And here's the one thing that people are not understanding about the taser.

00:08:56.000 They're like, oh, it's just a taser.

00:08:57.000 No, it's more than a taser.

00:08:59.000 See, police officers can use tasers because we're trained to use tasers and we're trained to aim them appropriately so that it'll hit your body in a place that wouldn't kill you.

00:09:07.000 When a suspect has a taser, which Rayshard Brooks did, he turned and pointed the taser at the officer's face.

00:09:12.000 Now, he shot the taser at the officer's face.

00:09:14.000 Now, if an officer gets locked up with a taser, he's going to hit the ground.

00:09:18.000 It's going to render him incapable of defending himself.

00:09:21.000 That level of fear necessitates a deadly force situation.

00:09:24.000 But if you hit the officer in the face with one of those taser probes, they're like this.

00:09:29.000 They shoot out like a bullet.

00:09:30.000 They go and they penetrate the skin.

00:09:32.000 They go at a level of force that's used to go through shirts and clothing so it can dig in the skin and penetrate. 0.77

00:09:39.000 If you shoot that thing in somebody's eye, it can go through the eyeball, into the brain, and kill you.

00:09:44.000 And that's why police officers don't aim it for your head unless they're in a deadly force situation.

00:09:48.000 So Rayshar Brooks 100% was attempting to cause serious bodily injury or death to those officers and they used force against him.

00:09:55.000 And so people say, well, people are using that as an example, including sometimes Republican senators, like a Republican senator from Indiana, who's, well, the egregious and unspeakable murder.

00:10:07.000 And I said, well, that's not murder.

00:10:09.000 It's just, I mean, it was a killing, but it was an altercation, right?

00:10:12.000 Those police officers did not wake up that day saying, I'm going to go to a Wendy's and find someone who has a DUI and kill them.

00:10:19.000 In fact, you saw, if you look at the video, they struggled.

00:10:22.000 They were trying to calm down the situation, right?

00:10:26.000 And Rayshard Brooks was drunk as a skunk, not feeling pain, right?

00:10:31.000 He was what?

00:10:32.000 I mean, just because he was so inebriated, whatever force they were using just wasn't processing.

00:10:38.000 He was a prior convicted criminal, I believe.

00:10:41.000 Right, he was against his family.

00:10:42.000 Yeah.

00:10:43.000 And then the family goes up to the press conference.

00:10:43.000 And this is the family.

00:10:45.000 They're like, oh, we miss him so much.

00:10:48.000 You were testifying against him previously.

00:10:50.000 Well, see, this is another thing that people don't realize.

00:10:53.000 Rayshard Brooks' wife is the one that's on television, right?

00:10:57.000 He also had a girlfriend.

00:10:59.000 His girlfriend is the one, and they believe that burned down the Wendy's.

00:11:02.000 She got arrested for burning down the Wendy's.

00:11:04.000 Arsonist.

00:11:05.000 He had mentioned to the police, if you listen to the police recording, he had mentioned her name as the person he was dealing with that night.

00:11:12.000 So he has a wife in front of the world and he has a girlfriend, and then he's inebriated.

00:11:18.000 Like people, people are leaving out the guilt portion of a suspect like Rayshaw Brooks.

00:11:24.000 Think about this.

00:11:24.000 He didn't just, osmosis didn't lead him to the parking lot.

00:11:27.000 Dude, he had to intentionally drink and drive.

00:11:30.000 And from the birthday party to the Wendy's parking lot, he put people's lives in danger.

00:11:35.000 He was so drunk that he passes out in the intersection.

00:11:38.000 And people say, oh, he should have, they should have let him just walk home.

00:11:41.000 No.

00:11:42.000 When a police officer contacts you, they are now responsible for you moving forward, especially when you're inebriated.

00:11:49.000 Because if they make contact With a vehicle.

00:11:51.000 Just say they make contact with him and they took his vehicle.

00:11:55.000 And they say, okay, just walk home.

00:11:57.000 Now, if he goes home and there's another vehicle at home, he gets in another vehicle, come back to finish Wendy's and kill somebody while he's drinking and driving.

00:12:04.000 Or he go runs over a 14-year-old, runs over a 14-year-old.

00:12:06.000 Now, the police officer is going to be held accountable.

00:12:09.000 That's a great point.

00:12:09.000 Say he was drunk.

00:12:10.000 It was against the law.

00:12:11.000 Why didn't you do anything?

00:12:12.000 But now that it results in his death, they feel like the cops should have just let him go.

00:12:16.000 It's shameful what people think without education.

00:12:18.000 That's right.

00:12:19.000 And so, and you look into these examples, and let's go into it.

00:12:22.000 And so, I call the movement that I believe is a domestic terror organization very close to it, BLM Inc. 0.52

00:12:29.000 100%.

00:12:30.000 I call it BLM Inc. because the phrase is true: black lives do matter, all lives matter.

00:12:34.000 And I'm not afraid to say all lives matter, and we should be unafraid to say it.

00:12:37.000 Exactly.

00:12:38.000 All lives matter.

00:12:38.000 Right?

00:12:39.000 But I call it BLM Inc. because I want to distinguish the two. 0.65

00:12:43.000 They, time and time again, are silent with the slaughter of black lives in our inner cities, silent with the unspeakable tragedy of abortion, and yet they find certain, let's just say, certain deaths that fit their narrative. 0.59

00:12:59.000 And the narrative is deep destabilization of law and order.

00:13:03.000 And those deaths, Rayshard Brooks or George Floyd, they get overly, let's just say, upset about, and the media covers for them and with them.

00:13:13.000 Then we look deeper into the statistics, they say, well, this is an epidemic in our cities. 0.85

00:13:17.000 So it was interesting when I first made my first video calling out the black squares on social media, because I'll tell you, Brandon, these white liberals that I grew up with that have been protected by police their entire life, right? 0.92

00:13:30.000 And if you want to talk about some form of wealth privilege, these are those people, right? 0.85

00:13:35.000 Now, not white privilege, but wealth privilege, right?

00:13:37.000 And they have been protected by armed guards and by police officers, and they've been so comfortable.

00:13:42.000 And then they're posting these black squares in total, you know, like, oh, we stand in solidarity with BLM.

00:13:47.000 And I just had enough.

00:13:48.000 I snapped. 0.97

00:13:49.000 Right.

00:13:50.000 And I made a video.

00:13:51.000 And at the time, the Washington Post said there were nine unarmed black men that were killed by police officers.

00:13:56.000 They've recently updated that number to 15. 1.00

00:13:58.000 Just how convenient.

00:13:59.000 But even let's just take 15.

00:14:01.000 You looked at the examples.

00:14:02.000 A lot of them are very suspicious, right?

00:14:04.000 Some people say they have weapons.

00:14:06.000 Some people, you know, they had a different type of weapon than just a firearm.

00:14:10.000 Anyway, 15. 0.56

00:14:11.000 You look at 15 unarmed black men. 0.97

00:14:13.000 Let's just say every single one of those examples.

00:14:16.000 If you look at the amount of individuals that die on black on black crime versus that, which one is a more pressing close. 0.57

00:14:24.000 It's not even close.

00:14:26.000 Yes. 0.99

00:14:26.000 Black on black violence. 0.99

00:14:27.000 See, this is another thing that people don't understand with black on black violence as well. 0.95

00:14:31.000 Is when one man kills another man, it don't stop there, right? 0.78

00:14:36.000 Just assuming that police actually catch the suspect.

00:14:40.000 Which in Chicago, 70% of murders go unsolved.

00:14:42.000 Right, unsolved.

00:14:44.000 So just assuming that the police officer by chance catched the suspect.

00:14:47.000 Now you have a suspect in prison for the rest of his life.

00:14:50.000 The man he killed is dead.

00:14:51.000 His life is gone.

00:14:53.000 And then just imagine a residual effect that's going to have on a that that's going to have on a community when it comes to two black families that are opposed to each other. 0.60

00:15:01.000 Because this man killed my dad.

00:15:04.000 No, the other side is saying this man sent my dad to prison for life.

00:15:07.000 My dad was just defending himself.

00:15:09.000 Now you have not only two black men that have killed each other, or pretty much, you have the families who are now at odds.

00:15:15.000 And all their friends. 0.62

00:15:16.000 And now the community is now in a hateful situation against each other.

00:15:16.000 And all their friends.

00:15:21.000 And now you get rival gangs, you get retaliation.

00:15:23.000 That's a really good way to do that.

00:15:24.000 All of that is matriculated down from one incident.

00:15:27.000 Now, multiply that by 6,000 homicides a year or so.

00:15:32.000 I mean, you're talking about a demise of an entire community.

00:15:35.000 Yes.

00:15:35.000 And so just in Chicago, let's just, and BLM Inc. is silent on this.

00:15:40.000 Just in July, there have been 48 people shot and killed.

00:15:43.000 So you look at those little examples.

00:15:44.000 That's 48 families, 48 communities.

00:15:48.000 220 people shot and wounded.

00:15:50.000 268 total shot and 56 total homicides just in the last two weeks in Chicago.

00:15:55.000 Just in this year, 2020, 396 homicides, 1,992 people total shot, 1,631 shot and wounded, 361 shot and killed. 0.95

00:16:07.000 And almost all of those are black, almost all black.

00:16:10.000 And no t-shirts, no funerals, no hashtags, no nothing. 0.91

00:16:10.000 Right, right. 0.91

00:16:15.000 They get nothing.

00:16:17.000 And then I think that if you go down to age, a few of them more recently were children.

00:16:22.000 Yes.

00:16:23.000 You're talking about all the way from month-olds to three-year-olds, six-year-olds, eight-year-olds who are getting murdered.

00:16:30.000 I'm talking about just outside with their family.

00:16:32.000 They're playing basketball.

00:16:33.000 In the house, riding in the car, murdered.

00:16:36.000 They didn't get a single funeral.

00:16:38.000 They didn't, you know, they're not celebrating.

00:16:41.000 Black Lives Matter, Inc., I'm going to call it like you call it, Black Lives Matter Inc. race, I don't know, $300 million.

00:16:48.000 How much of that money was sent to these families to bury their children?

00:16:52.000 How much of it?

00:16:52.000 Yes.

00:16:53.000 None.

00:16:54.000 I heard, and I heard this is a rumor, unconfirmed, that the family of George Floyd didn't receive a single dime from Black Lives Matter.

00:17:03.000 Not one dollar.

00:17:05.000 And they've raised millions of dollars on the back of that man.

00:17:08.000 Yes.

00:17:09.000 It's mostly white liberals that are funding it.

00:17:11.000 Mostly white suburban liberals that have a messianic complex.

00:17:11.000 Right.

00:17:15.000 Like, oh, we can save the world.

00:17:17.000 And I speak out against this a lot.

00:17:19.000 And obviously, you know, I want to be a country where we judge people on character and not skin color.

00:17:26.000 This whole racial division thing is so regressive.

00:17:29.000 It's so incredibly divisive and dangerous, honestly. 0.54

00:17:32.000 You can't have a country this way.

00:17:34.000 You can't.

00:17:35.000 And so I speak out against these white individuals that say, well, I have a lot to atone for. 0.99

00:17:39.000 Well, okay, if you're a bitter racist, then you should absolutely atone for it. 0.98

00:17:42.000 Okay. 0.96

00:17:43.000 They say, well, I come from a legacy of slavery.

00:17:45.000 I say, wait, let me be very clear.

00:17:48.000 Any slave in America deserves reparations.

00:17:51.000 100%.

00:17:52.000 Go find one. 1.00

00:17:53.000 Any slave owner deserves to go to prison for the rest of their life and probably get the death penalty. 0.99

00:17:53.000 Okay. 0.99

00:17:58.000 I'm not a big fan of the death penalty, but whatever.

00:18:00.000 Yeah.

00:18:01.000 Oh, we don't have any?

00:18:02.000 Okay.

00:18:02.000 How about anyone who knew a slave owner?

00:18:04.000 Anyone?

00:18:05.000 Is there anyone in America that knew a slave owner?

00:18:07.000 No.

00:18:08.000 The point is this: we are 155 years removed from slavery.

00:18:11.000 155 years.

00:18:13.000 We are 70 years removed from Jim Crow.

00:18:17.000 And let's get into this, Brandon.

00:18:19.000 The black community is still struggling.

00:18:21.000 It's struggling tremendously, but not because of slavery that was abolished 155 years ago or for Jim Crow.

00:18:28.000 Why is the black community still struggling?

00:18:31.000 Policies. 1.00

00:18:32.000 These leftist lunatic policies. 0.98

00:18:32.000 Yes. 0.98

00:18:35.000 And then also a level of brainwashing that has gone on and a level of culture that has been created in some of these black communities that are so destructive and they go unchecked. 0.95

00:18:47.000 Because Candace Owens came out and made a video about George Floyd about us. 0.93

00:18:51.000 $100 million.

00:18:53.000 $100 million. 0.99

00:18:53.000 God bless her because I want to get into this later. 0.99

00:18:55.000 You and her both have been courageous for this whole thing.

00:18:58.000 Because we're just keeping it real.

00:18:59.000 We're just telling the truth.

00:19:00.000 That's it.

00:19:00.000 And you have a backbone.

00:19:01.000 Right.

00:19:02.000 And you have stones and other things.

00:19:03.000 Yeah.

00:19:05.000 So, you know, when you look at the totality of these incidents and you look at the way it's being projected, when you talk about culture, it is creating such a deficit in the black community. 1.00

00:19:21.000 The culture of not having a father at home, that's totally fine.

00:19:24.000 The culture of going to the abortion meal whenever you feel like it. 0.92

00:19:27.000 The culture of killing your brother and sister with no feelings, with no involvement. 0.78

00:19:32.000 When I was driving over here, I just decided to play a couple rap songs, right?

00:19:35.000 Just some famous rappers, The Baby and some other guys.

00:19:40.000 I am disgusted by what I hear in that music. 0.98

00:19:43.000 And if people don't think that rap music is causing a degradation of a lot of inner cities and a lot of black communities and a lot of black brains, you must be fooling yourself. 0.98

00:19:54.000 I'm glad you speak out against that.

00:19:55.000 Whenever I comment on it, I get every reporter in the world saying I'm not allowed to talk about how rap music has a negative impact on the human psyche.

00:20:03.000 And I actually, Brandon, I'll tell you, I think it's not just the black community.

00:20:07.000 A lot of suburban kids listen to rap music too. 0.83

00:20:10.000 I think that whether it's rap music or just music in general that glorifies, let's just say, a culture that is not optimal, right?

00:20:18.000 Cheating on your spouse, murder, indecency, drug usage.

00:20:23.000 I think that it contributes heavily to the moral decline of a country.

00:20:27.000 I mean, and you look at art and music as a form of art, that's the way you communicate your values.

00:20:33.000 And so if you're communicating your values that are morally compromised, well, what kind of country do you expect to have?

00:20:39.000 Right.

00:20:40.000 And I think it goes a little deeper into the subconscious.

00:20:43.000 You know, we talk about the surface level things, but the music is almost a gateway to subconsciously brainwashing you, right?

00:20:50.000 And what goes into your brain, you will become.

00:20:53.000 It's a biblical thing. 1.00

00:20:54.000 So when you're listening to, I hate people, I hate people, I want to murder people. 0.99

00:20:58.000 I'm running up on people selling drugs, armed robbery. 0.96

00:21:01.000 When you're just perpetually listening to that stuff every day, you are convincing your subconscious of a violent reality.

00:21:08.000 Now, if you live in the hood, then that is an actual fact to you, right?

00:21:14.000 People are killing each other just like in the music. 0.88

00:21:17.000 If you don't live in the hood and you live in suburbia and you're wealthy and you're listening to that music, your projection subconsciously of black people is going to be degraded. 0.80

00:21:26.000 You're going to see a man sagging his pants and you're going to associate that with the guy who's sagging his pants in a rap song. 0.99

00:21:26.000 That's a great point. 0.99

00:21:32.000 Well, the guy who's sagging his pants in a rap song is actually lying about what's going on.

00:21:36.000 These are fake gangsters.

00:21:37.000 And then, you know, the whole manipulation cycle continues.

00:21:40.000 So it's not just bad for people who are dealing with it in inner cities.

00:21:43.000 That's a really good thing.

00:21:44.000 It's terrible for people who are observing it, believing that it's real.

00:21:47.000 And it creates stereotypes.

00:21:48.000 You want to talk about stereotypes that are created.

00:21:50.000 That's what it is.

00:21:52.000 And you have then white America that thinks that's what black America embodies.

00:21:57.000 And Candace made this point the other day.

00:21:57.000 And it's not true.

00:21:59.000 I thought it was such a good point.

00:22:00.000 She said, there are millions and millions of black people that wake up early and go to work every single day, and they obey the law.

00:22:05.000 And they actually are repulsed by this BLM Inc. narrative.

00:22:09.000 They want more police.

00:22:10.000 They want their kids to go to a good school.

00:22:11.000 They want to live a normal life.

00:22:14.000 They want to live in a country that treats them equally, that gives them a shot at being safe, that their kid's not going to get killed at the park by some gangbanger.

00:22:24.000 I think that's almost all of black America.

00:22:26.000 Well, majority.

00:22:28.000 I think probably, I would argue 80%, 85%. 0.99

00:22:31.000 Maybe I even go to 90% of black America is not involved in the foolery. 0.99

00:22:35.000 And I'll say this. 1.00

00:22:38.000 Most black people, and I grew up in the hood, most black people cannot wait to have an opportunity to make more money, to do better in life so they can move out of the hood. 1.00

00:22:49.000 They do not want to be there. 0.97

00:22:51.000 My father, when he started moving up the ranks, we moved to a better neighborhood, just progressively going to a better neighborhood, going to a better school.

00:22:58.000 We were never going to stay there.

00:23:00.000 That's not the goal.

00:23:01.000 It's to stay in the inner city in the hood where it's failing, right?

00:23:05.000 And your goal is to get out and to make some of yourself.

00:23:08.000 And people will never be honest about this.

00:23:11.000 This is why we can never come together as a country and tackle some of these issues is because the disingenuous nature of a lot of people on both sides. 0.97

00:23:20.000 And when I say both sides, I mean the white liberal and the black liberal. 0.98

00:23:23.000 That's right. 0.99

00:23:24.000 They will not be honest about the struggles in the inner city and about how to fix some of those things.

00:23:29.000 So let me ask you a question.

00:23:31.000 You grew up in the hood.

00:23:32.000 I've heard this experience from other people as well.

00:23:34.000 Was there a almost a condemnation or a, let's just say a negative stereotype if certain people in the black community started to, as they say, talk white.

00:23:48.000 Have you heard this before?

00:23:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:23:50.000 Can we talk about this?

00:23:51.000 Yeah, it's not just my generation.

00:23:52.000 My father told me that this happened to him.

00:23:55.000 My daddy was born in 65.

00:23:57.000 So in the late 60s, early 70s, when my dad was, you know, a youth, he would tell me, a perfect example.

00:24:04.000 He told me you should play football, right?

00:24:06.000 And in the hood, they should play what they call sideline kill, meaning that you pay tackle football in the middle of the street on concrete.

00:24:12.000 No pads, no nothing.

00:24:13.000 You tackle right in the middle of the street.

00:24:15.000 And so my dad used to play that with all his friends.

00:24:17.000 Everybody loved him.

00:24:18.000 He was a good athlete.

00:24:18.000 They loved him.

00:24:19.000 One day, he'd come home.

00:24:21.000 They have the report cards.

00:24:22.000 Now, my dad believed in getting a good education.

00:24:25.000 He worked his butt off.

00:24:26.000 He had all A's, 1B.

00:24:28.000 He told me that everybody was talking about their grades, and he said, man, dang, I almost did it.

00:24:33.000 And they're like, well, what's your grades, Bobby?

00:24:34.000 And he said, I got all A's in 1B.

00:24:37.000 And they're like, oh, you sell out.

00:24:39.000 You're trying to be like the white man.

00:24:40.000 They never picked him to play on their team again.

00:24:43.000 And that's my dad's experience.

00:24:45.000 My experience was the same way.

00:24:46.000 And I'm going to be honest with the audience.

00:24:48.000 Like, I was a part of bullying people when I was younger that act like that.

00:24:52.000 If you talk proper and you spoke proper English, you were articulate. 1.00

00:24:55.000 Oh, man, you're trying to be white. 1.00

00:24:57.000 You wasn't hood enough. 1.00

00:24:59.000 You wasn't black enough. 0.99

00:25:00.000 And you will get bullied. 0.98

00:25:02.000 You know, people talk about bullying.

00:25:03.000 This was a real bullying strategy.

00:25:05.000 And I know for a fact that it hurt a lot of individuals who came from a family that valued speaking proper English language.

00:25:13.000 So there's a cultural pressure.

00:25:15.000 It is.

00:25:16.000 On black America and the urban community.

00:25:19.000 And I hate that whole phrase, speaking white.

00:25:21.000 I think it's more cultural than that to try and get good grades or try to apply yourself.

00:25:21.000 I don't mean it that.

00:25:27.000 And so it's actually a lot of black on black pressure.

00:25:30.000 Is that what you're saying? 0.93

00:25:31.000 I mean, we've been brainwashed to believe that black people are down here and white people up here.

00:25:31.000 Yeah.

00:25:34.000 That's in the black community.

00:25:37.000 That's not even being taught by anybody else but in the community. 0.94

00:25:41.000 Because if you make good grades, you're trying to be white. 0.88

00:25:43.000 Not that you're trying to be successful. 0.99

00:25:44.000 You're trying to be white. 0.92

00:25:45.000 If you speak proper English, oh, you're trying to be like the white man.

00:25:47.000 Not that you're trying to be successful because if you can articulate clearly in English, you're going to have more opportunities.

00:25:53.000 You know, and even if you had a name that was, I don't know, Tom or something, and you were a black kid named Tom, and then you have a kid named Demetrius or something.

00:26:02.000 You know, Demetrius is more with the culture. 0.58

00:26:04.000 Tom is getting criticized because, oh, you have a white name.

00:26:09.000 You get what I'm saying?

00:26:09.000 Like when I was growing up, LaSherelle was one of my friends' names.

00:26:12.000 One of my friends, her name was Christasha. 0.98

00:26:14.000 And so black people like to innovate when they create names.

00:26:17.000 At this point, I don't think it's a great idea in some cases because people may judge you based on your name. 0.82

00:26:22.000 But in the community, if you don't have a name that's unique and is black enough, you will be criticized.

00:26:29.000 And I'm not saying this is all over the country.

00:26:31.000 I'm saying where I grew up in different hoods that I know are consistent around the country, these things happen.

00:26:37.000 People don't want to be honest about it.

00:26:38.000 Yeah, growing up, I went to a very diverse high school.

00:26:41.000 A lot of the black people, you know, Daenerys, Lamont, you know, Cadillac.

00:26:49.000 These people got it. 1.00

00:26:50.000 And I'm not making light of it.

00:26:51.000 I'm just saying.

00:26:51.000 But I get it.

00:26:52.000 But, you know, people need to pay attention to the name.

00:26:54.000 Because in the Bible, your name used to be, used to mean something.

00:26:59.000 And so people used to give you a meaning, and then that name is attached.

00:27:03.000 Now, they give you a name, and then I guess you create a meaning to it.

00:27:07.000 So I think that we should get back to naming individuals based on something that has a solid meaning.

00:27:13.000 Like my son's name is Caden means fighter, warrior.

00:27:16.000 I love that.

00:27:17.000 His middle name is Elijah, which is God is our savior.

00:27:22.000 So those things are what I projected when I had him.

00:27:26.000 I want to have his name have power. 0.72

00:27:29.000 You've been very outspoken in the last couple weeks, and I've been amazed, and I don't want to say any names, but there are certain black conservatives that have all of a sudden decided to just parent the BLM Inc narrative. 0.53

00:27:40.000 Now, some of them have kind of gone back from that in recent weeks as they realize they might have overstepped their bounds. 0.60

00:27:47.000 But, Brandon, you've received a lot of incoming from people that I think you would once consider friends that are black conservatives that decided to all of a sudden just repeat left-wing talking points. 0.73

00:27:58.000 Yeah, I would say 90% of black conservatives that I once would consider going to lunch with, say I knew them, we would go to events together, have completely turned.

00:28:11.000 And they've left people like me, Candon Zones, Keenface, Larry Elder, and some others out on the island as if we are the rejects of the black conservative movement, and we don't speak for black people.

00:28:24.000 And it's crazy to me, man.

00:28:26.000 It's crazy to me because I can speak for Candace and I because I'm really close to Candace as well.

00:28:31.000 And it's all about facts and truth, not about your feelings.

00:28:35.000 Your feelings can come second, right?

00:28:37.000 Let's talk about the truth first, and then we can talk about your feelings later.

00:28:41.000 And I have been consistent with the facts, telling the truth about George Floyd, telling the truth about these situations that have come up in a way that I feel is empowering and emboldening people to be knowledgeable and can make conscious decisions.

00:28:55.000 I'm not here to make you feel good about it because making you feel good about it can be deceptive.

00:29:00.000 And then you end up saying, Omar Arbery was just jogging.

00:29:04.000 And he wasn't just jogging.

00:29:05.000 Tell us about that.

00:29:06.000 Omar Arbery wasn't just jogging.

00:29:07.000 And people had come out with this narrative.

00:29:09.000 Now, you know, the media came out with the narrative, right?

00:29:11.000 Because they needed to come out with this narrative because it was juicy.

00:29:15.000 This is an election season. 1.00

00:29:16.000 They need a black man to be gunned down by two racist white hillbillies in Georgia somewhere. 1.00

00:29:21.000 They need that narrative. 1.00

00:29:23.000 That wasn't the case. 0.99

00:29:24.000 Omar Arbery was a crook. 1.00

00:29:25.000 He was a criminal. 1.00

00:29:26.000 He had perpetually been in that community doing things he shouldn't have done. 0.86

00:29:29.000 He breaking into houses, doing all of the above.

00:29:32.000 He ended up interacting with some people conducting a citizen's arrest.

00:29:35.000 I'm not advocating who did what right wrong, but he was in the wrong.

00:29:38.000 He wasn't jogging.

00:29:39.000 Now, black conservatives found it, not me and Candace and some other ones that are impartial, meaning that we love white people and black people the same.

00:29:49.000 You love your country.

00:29:50.000 We love our country.

00:29:51.000 We're Americans first, and then you go down the list.

00:29:53.000 But some of these other people, they feel like they're black first, and then they go, and then I'm American or whatever the case may be.

00:29:59.000 But we stuck with the truth, and they came out trying to bridge the gap between black conservatives, black liberals, which is some of their main motives.

00:30:08.000 They want to find something they can get behind together and say, look, we're on your side. 0.55

00:30:11.000 We're not coons and Uncle Tom's anymore. 0.99

00:30:13.000 And then they jumped on that bandwagon without doing research like they should and come to find out the man wasn't jogging. 1.00

00:30:19.000 And they all look like idiots. 1.00

00:30:21.000 Some of which come back to the table and say, you know what? 1.00

00:30:24.000 I was wrong.

00:30:25.000 I'm not talking about stuff unless I do my research.

00:30:27.000 Others are doubling down to the point of saying that Candice is in our counsel.

00:30:32.000 Our careers are over.

00:30:34.000 I mean, it's foolery.

00:30:36.000 And so what I have found and what you just pinpointed there, Brandon, is very significant because I see this happen in a lot of conservative circles where we want to win favor from the left.

00:30:46.000 That's not going to happen.

00:30:49.000 And nor should it.

00:30:50.000 I don't think that's a desired objective.

00:30:52.000 I mean, what?

00:30:53.000 Do you want to win favor with BLM Inc.'s website where they say they want to disrupt the nuclear family or they want to legalize sex work?

00:30:59.000 I mean, there's not a lot of common ground I can find on the abolish prison movement.

00:31:04.000 And so if we're trying to win favor with an entire movement that diabolically wants to destroy our country, I reject that wholeheartedly.

00:31:14.000 And also, this is one thing that I've really liked about what Candace and you have done is you guys have refused to indulge in the left-wing, let's just say, emotive cycle of propaganda.

00:31:26.000 You've both acknowledged that the police officer in Minneapolis acted incorrectly, but you also painted a picture and said, let's put this in context of all police officers, of all black deaths in the country.

00:31:39.000 And so if you dare do that, then all of a sudden you are dismissed and rejected as saying, well, you don't really care about that specific incident.

00:31:46.000 That's nonsense.

00:31:47.000 Yeah, people are afraid of rejection.

00:31:51.000 Some people can go so far.

00:31:53.000 And I think this is the key point here, is that I think some people are called by God to be leaders.

00:31:59.000 And some people just don't have it in them.

00:32:01.000 You know, when you are a leader and you are standing up for truth, you're going to be hated.

00:32:07.000 You have to make up in your mind the day you stand foot and say on television or wherever that I'm going to stand up for the truth.

00:32:14.000 You got to have in your mind that you're ready to fight.

00:32:16.000 Just like Jesus was.

00:32:17.000 You know, Jesus was ready to fight telling the truth and they killed him for no reason.

00:32:21.000 And the same thing is going to happen to us, whether it be physical or psychological or even a career killer.

00:32:27.000 They're going to come after you and you have to be ready to stand the test of time.

00:32:31.000 The problem is some people can only go 40% of the way and then they cower.

00:32:37.000 Because when your mama turn their back on you, oh, now I got to turn.

00:32:40.000 I got to bow down.

00:32:41.000 When your best friend turn on you, now they're bowing down.

00:32:45.000 I only serve God and I am trying to gain favor with God, not people.

00:32:51.000 And while trying to gain favor with God, I do the right thing and God will elevate me.

00:32:55.000 That's what people have to understand.

00:32:57.000 You do favors for people, they will turn on you.

00:33:00.000 I.e. Donald Trump.

00:33:02.000 Everybody loved him. 0.74

00:33:03.000 And then when he become the president, he is now the worst man on planet Earth, which I think is disingenuous at best.

00:33:09.000 So I think people have to grow a backbone or at least do some workouts to strengthen their backbone and stand up for something.

00:33:17.000 Well, and I think that conservatives in general, and look, it's not easy being a conservative.

00:33:22.000 It's not being an outspoken conservative.

00:33:25.000 And I decided as soon as this nonsense began, we had a conversation of this on the Charlie Kirk show because we're like, are we going to get into this issue of race?

00:33:34.000 I was like, of course we are.

00:33:36.000 Are you kidding me?

00:33:37.000 And just from the general conservative movement, it's been amazing, Brandon, how many white podcasters or people that are not in the black community are like, I don't want to touch these issues. 0.59

00:33:48.000 I don't like it.

00:33:49.000 Hold on a second.

00:33:50.000 This is our country.

00:33:52.000 We are on the right side of this.

00:33:54.000 God made you in his image, image of God, Imago De.

00:33:57.000 E pluribus unum is our national motto.

00:34:01.000 Okay?

00:34:01.000 Our national motto is not diversity is our strength.

00:34:04.000 Okay?

00:34:05.000 Like that, let's have a conversation about that.

00:34:08.000 Okay.

00:34:08.000 But if all of a sudden we've changed that without any sort of consensus, like I need to know that, okay?

00:34:14.000 Because we have it on our presidential seal, e pluribus unum.

00:34:18.000 That it's actually the unity, not the differences.

00:34:20.000 It's a big difference, right?

00:34:22.000 Like, hold on.

00:34:23.000 E pluribus unum and diversity is our strength are two completely different statements, right?

00:34:28.000 Because e pluribus unum essentially means we have more in common than we have that divides us.

00:34:36.000 Diversity, our strength is our differences is actually what makes us incredible.

00:34:40.000 Like, wait a second, our differences actually think are marginal, especially as human beings.

00:34:45.000 And so we've spoken out, Trement, a lot.

00:34:47.000 And what I have really seen is that there are few people that are willing to stand up and really fight at this moment.

00:34:53.000 And in some ways, that's really depressing.

00:34:54.000 In some ways, now we know who the fighters are.

00:34:56.000 Right, exactly.

00:34:57.000 I mean, I think people got to get to the point where somebody calling you a racist, don't phase you anymore.

00:35:02.000 If you're a racist, then okay, feel bad all you want.

00:35:04.000 But if you are not a racist and you have never been racist and you love this country and you love people and you treat people according to the character that they display, not the color of their skin, then what do you care? 0.90

00:35:15.000 People can call me ignorant all they want. 1.00

00:35:17.000 They say, oh, you're dumb. 1.00

00:35:18.000 I don't care what you say. 1.00

00:35:20.000 I know I'm not dumb. 0.78

00:35:21.000 I'm very educated.

00:35:22.000 So why do I care?

00:35:23.000 I'm going to keep talking.

00:35:24.000 You calling me an Uncle Tom, which, you know, he was the hero of the story. 0.88

00:35:28.000 Just say you call me a coon or a sellout or a race traitor or whatever, race hater.

00:35:32.000 Say whatever you want. 0.75

00:35:33.000 I know that that's not true.

00:35:35.000 So I'm going to keep speaking the truth.

00:35:37.000 Now, I think when people know that this is true, maybe they've been called on their stuff.

00:35:41.000 Maybe they back away.

00:35:42.000 But it is a time in our country that we need strong men to stand up.

00:35:46.000 And I'm going to speak for the men.

00:35:47.000 I'm going to speak for the men.

00:35:48.000 Ladies, you included as well.

00:35:49.000 But I want to talk to men.

00:35:51.000 It is time in our country for strong men to stand up.

00:35:54.000 That's right.

00:35:55.000 Especially strong white men. 0.82

00:35:57.000 I agree. 0.60

00:35:57.000 You know, it's easy for me to talk about BLM and all this other stuff. 0.60

00:36:00.000 It's not easy because you, my goodness.

00:36:02.000 Well, man, well, listen, listen.

00:36:03.000 If I talk about it, and I'm going to give you an example.

00:36:06.000 I had a radio show here in Phoenix Valley.

00:36:08.000 I spoke about it every day. 0.95

00:36:09.000 If a white radio show host would have said anything that I said, fired, he's a racist. 0.95

00:36:16.000 They'd be doxxing his house. 0.97

00:36:18.000 People be at his house protesting right now.

00:36:19.000 So I have to say that I have a little bit of black privilege in saying some of the things that I say.

00:36:25.000 But I am saying this because I want to encourage and speak on behalf of my white brothers and sisters who can't say these things or feel that they can.

00:36:33.000 I want them to be emboldened and say, you know what?

00:36:35.000 BLM Inc. is doing wrong.

00:36:38.000 This is wrong.

00:36:39.000 Look at the website.

00:36:40.000 Where are they sending the money?

00:36:41.000 Where is the money going?

00:36:42.000 Where's the money? 0.96

00:36:44.000 It's not going to the families of black people that have been killed.

00:36:46.000 No police officers.

00:36:46.000 None.

00:36:47.000 No victims.

00:36:48.000 Not for scholarships of kids to be able to break out of the hood.

00:36:51.000 None.

00:36:51.000 None of that.

00:36:52.000 None.

00:36:53.000 And I completely agree.

00:36:54.000 And for any white person out there, it's like, oh, I can't comment on the issues of race. 0.55

00:36:58.000 Yes, you can, if you're willing to be called a bad name.

00:37:02.000 And so for me, it was somewhat liberating.

00:37:04.000 You know, I traveled the country with you and Candace, and they called me racist back then.

00:37:08.000 And I was like, wait a second.

00:37:09.000 Hold on.

00:37:10.000 We hosted the Black Leadership Summit.

00:37:11.000 It's one of the coolest things that we had ever opportunity to do.

00:37:13.000 Out of anybody in the country.

00:37:14.000 That was the best thing that any group has done.

00:37:16.000 Yeah, and we'd never get credit for it, and that's fine.

00:37:18.000 But it was really fun.

00:37:19.000 And, you know, you chaired it with Candace, and they still called me a racist.

00:37:22.000 And so this George Floyd thing happens.

00:37:23.000 I'm like, what are you going to call me a racist in all caps?

00:37:25.000 Yeah.

00:37:26.000 I mean, I'm going to speak my mind.

00:37:28.000 And I'm going to be very specific with my words because words really do matter.

00:37:31.000 And I'm going to be very careful with how I talk about it.

00:37:33.000 But I'm not going to be silent when I have something to say.

00:37:37.000 And really what it comes down to is they are betting that white people in particular are going to sit down and stop talking. 0.58

00:37:44.000 In fact, I was in an email exchange with a black conservative who decided to go subscribe to the BLM Inc. narrative.

00:37:52.000 It's this group email, and I don't want to disclose what it is, but it's a group of individuals that are pretty successful. 0.68

00:37:57.000 And he has sent this nonsense about how we need total police reform, that we need reparations for black people.

00:38:03.000 He's a conservative. 0.99

00:38:04.000 And so I sent all this stuff, and he says, you as a white person need to shut up and stop talking. 0.98

00:38:09.000 See, that's right. 0.99

00:38:09.000 Racist. 0.99

00:38:10.000 I said, you are more of a racist than the KKK. 1.00

00:38:13.000 Of course, that blew up, right? 0.98

00:38:15.000 And it's true, though, because you're now judging me on my skin color, man. 1.00

00:38:20.000 That because you're white, you don't have a brain, right? 1.00

00:38:23.000 Because you don't need to be black to look at the stats. 0.99

00:38:26.000 They don't take color of your skin.

00:38:28.000 Anybody, my nine-year-old can look at these stats and say, something is wrong here, dad.

00:38:33.000 But what they want to do, and these conservatives, some of these conservatives are falling for this, man.

00:38:38.000 And they're weak.

00:38:39.000 They're picking race over the country. 1.00

00:38:42.000 They're black first. 1.00

00:38:43.000 So, oh, I got to jump on a black bandwagon. 0.99

00:38:45.000 No, I am an American first.

00:38:49.000 We are all the same.

00:38:50.000 In my opinion, we're all God's children.

00:38:53.000 You and I are equal.

00:38:55.000 That's the point.

00:38:56.000 That's the beauty of this country.

00:38:57.000 You should be able to say whatever you want to say, just like I do.

00:39:00.000 And if I agree with you, I have two choices.

00:39:02.000 I can rebut you or I can just not listen to you.

00:39:05.000 That's right.

00:39:05.000 Why would I scream at you and argue with you and want you to be silent?

00:39:09.000 It's stupidity. 1.00

00:39:10.000 Let me make this point real quick. 1.00

00:39:12.000 It's funny that black conservatives or black people in general, I'm just going to tell it like it is. 0.91

00:39:17.000 They will tell a white person, you can't talk about these issues because you don't know what it's like to be black. 0.91

00:39:22.000 At the same time, they'll say, you have white privilege.

00:39:25.000 Well, how do you know the privileges of a white man when you ain't never been white?

00:39:29.000 How do you know that?

00:39:30.000 Just like a white man don't know what it's like to be black, you don't know what it's like to be white.

00:39:33.000 Why can't we be consistent if you want to go down that path?

00:39:35.000 Well, it's so funny.

00:39:36.000 I wish I had this video.

00:39:37.000 I was on a college campus where one person says, You've never been judged by the color of your skin.

00:39:41.000 I said, You just judge me.

00:39:44.000 Exactly.

00:39:45.000 You literally just did that.

00:39:46.000 Exactly. 0.95

00:39:46.000 And so I want to read something from this very foolish individual, Tahan Nahisi Coates, on Juneteenth, which they're trying to create to be the new July 4th. 0.95

00:39:56.000 That was just ridiculous. 0.98

00:39:57.000 I agree. 0.94

00:39:58.000 Testified at a House hearing on H.R. 40, a bill that would establish a commission to study reparations.

00:40:04.000 He said, The question really is not whether we'll be tied to something in our past, but whether we are courageous enough to be tied to the whole of them.

00:40:10.000 He says, We honor treaties that date back 200 years, despite no one being alive who signed those treaties.

00:40:14.000 He calls the black experience in America a modern campaign of terror.

00:40:18.000 So, first, has your life in America been a modern campaign of terror?

00:40:21.000 No, no, I've had more privilege than probably most white people in this country.

00:40:25.000 Everything that I've done, I mean, I've had opportunities that are greater than the average person, right?

00:40:32.000 I play football.

00:40:33.000 God gave me a talent to play football.

00:40:34.000 Full scholarship, University of Arizona.

00:40:36.000 Full scholarship.

00:40:37.000 I did not have to pay for a single book at my university.

00:40:40.000 None.

00:40:41.000 I used to go to the bookstore and all the kids in there scrambling, getting the leftover books.

00:40:44.000 I got all the new books.

00:40:46.000 Didn't pay for nothing.

00:40:47.000 Had free counseling.

00:40:48.000 We had free food.

00:40:49.000 We were catered.

00:40:50.000 What do we need?

00:40:51.000 I had it all.

00:40:52.000 When I was a police officer, one of 14 black police officers on a majority white and Hispanic police department.

00:40:58.000 Two years on the police department.

00:40:59.000 I was the spokesperson of the police department with two years on.

00:41:03.000 That has never occurred.

00:41:04.000 I was on a SWAT team.

00:41:05.000 I was a field training officer.

00:41:07.000 I had commendations from everywhere.

00:41:08.000 I was flown to events.

00:41:11.000 The black, it was like a black police association event. 0.98

00:41:14.000 Flown and paid for by the police department. 1.00

00:41:17.000 What more privilege do I need?

00:41:19.000 I've been to the White House more than probably most white people.

00:41:22.000 I mean, come on. 0.72

00:41:22.000 Like, people are just lying. 0.72

00:41:26.000 You know why I have what I have and I've been able to be blessed to have these opportunities?

00:41:30.000 Because I'm free.

00:41:32.000 When I believed and started focusing on how conservatism works and how I was a conservative, I started focusing on the country.

00:41:39.000 I forgave the country.

00:41:41.000 Now the sky's the limit for me.

00:41:43.000 And you make good choices.

00:41:44.000 I make good choices.

00:41:45.000 You take responsibility.

00:41:46.000 Take responsibility.

00:41:46.000 Make sure, you know, I make sure I'm credit good.

00:41:49.000 Make sure I pay stuff on time.

00:41:50.000 I go to work.

00:41:51.000 Before I was a police officer, I was working for $8 an hour.

00:41:54.000 I hated every minute of that job, but I showed up every day and I worked hard until I got another opportunity.

00:41:59.000 You know, people got to learn how to be an American.

00:42:03.000 In America, you could be whatever you want to be no matter what color you are.

00:42:06.000 I've seen immigrants come over here legally, some illegally, come over to this country with nothing in their pocket, but they had hard work, determination, and focus on doing what's right and living the American dream. 0.57

00:42:17.000 And now they own empires. 0.72

00:42:20.000 But people who are born here, who got money in their pocket, they don't do nothing.

00:42:25.000 And it's because they're lazy and they don't want nothing out of life but to blame the next man.

00:42:29.000 But, you know, I'll go on for hours about that.

00:42:32.000 So he says it's a modern day campaign of terror, which you've just wonderfully, I think, rebutted.

00:42:38.000 And you show that as a black man, grew up in the hood, you now live a life of fulfillment, of meaning, of prosperity, and of freedom.

00:42:47.000 And so, and I could point to many, many examples of that, right?

00:42:51.000 But it's because you applied yourself and you made good choices, and also you were able to think outside the box.

00:42:56.000 Imagine, Brandon, if you would have bought into the victim narrative, though, what would your life look like?

00:43:00.000 Yeah, I mean, I'd probably be in jail, or I'd probably be taking a knee for the national anthem.

00:43:05.000 Oh, we got to get into that, too.

00:43:07.000 And being a person who just is rooted or just focusing on hate my whole life to my own demise.

00:43:14.000 That's what I would be.

00:43:15.000 When I see people who are stuck on that narrative, that's what they live like.

00:43:19.000 They don't have peace.

00:43:22.000 They don't prosper.

00:43:23.000 They may have money in the bank, but they're not happy.

00:43:26.000 Because they hate the country that has given them and afforded them so much opportunity.

00:43:30.000 Just think about this for a minute. 0.98

00:43:31.000 If you're a millionaire, and you know, there's a lot of millionaire, billionaire black people who are still, I'm oppressed in America. 0.55

00:43:38.000 It's just the society is killing me.

00:43:40.000 Just imagine the level of happiness you would fulfill when you look at the fact that I'm prosperous and I love my country.

00:43:50.000 And because of this great country, I can be prosperous, more prosperous than any black person on planet Earth.

00:43:56.000 Well, and if America was such a racist country, why is it that more Africans have legally immigrated to our country than came here as slaves?

00:43:56.000 Amen.

00:44:06.000 Exactly.

00:44:07.000 Why is it that a Gallup poll surveyed 25 different African countries and it said, what country do you want to go to most?

00:44:14.000 America was number one in every single one of those countries.

00:44:17.000 Yeah.

00:44:17.000 Not surprised.

00:44:18.000 Not at all.

00:44:19.000 And so there's been 2 million individuals that have immigrated here from Africa legally since the 1970s from Africa.

00:44:26.000 And if you count their children and their grandchildren, it's everywhere between six to seven million individuals.

00:44:31.000 If you actually talk to those African immigrants, they are so they do not subscribe to this BLM thing at all.

00:44:37.000 Never heard of it. 0.87

00:44:38.000 They say, well, actually, we got it pretty good. 0.98

00:44:41.000 If you want to see what that is, go back to the Ivory Coast, okay? 0.61

00:44:44.000 Or go back to Senegal.

00:44:46.000 And I'm not trying to diminish those countries, but it's not even a comparable standard of living. 0.96

00:44:50.000 Just keep it real.

00:44:51.000 When I go to campus, I went to ASU, spoke to some students on campus.

00:44:55.000 All of the Africans who came over here, some of which have become citizens, but some of which are here for educational purposes, none of them had any thought about racism or race.

00:45:06.000 They never thought about it because in their country, there's no racism.

00:45:10.000 They never think about it.

00:45:11.000 But let me tell you what they told me.

00:45:13.000 They said, well, I never believed in racism.

00:45:15.000 I never experienced racism until the black Americans told me that white people were against me.

00:45:21.000 The black Americans told me that I was oppressed. 0.58

00:45:24.000 Beyond the brainwashing that has been infiltrated into black Americans, not all, but some, that is matriculating down to Africans who come over here that have a sense of pride in being in America, have a sense of pride in themselves and not bowing down to the narrative of oppression. 0.88

00:45:41.000 So you can see right away that Africans that come over here, they have the purest perspective about America than people who have been here just being drugged through the brainwashing. 0.83

00:45:50.000 So to kind of complete the question, I take it you're against reparations. 1.00

00:45:54.000 Reparations is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life at this point. 0.93

00:45:57.000 Now back then, yeah, please, by all means, we missed the opportunity. 0.98

00:46:02.000 Who's going to give reparations to who?

00:46:04.000 What about my son?

00:46:05.000 He's biracial.

00:46:08.000 How are we going to figure that out? 1.00

00:46:09.000 Does he pay himself?

00:46:10.000 Does he pay himself? 1.00

00:46:11.000 And then does mama pay daddy?

00:46:13.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.73

00:46:14.000 Is his mama going to pay me to pay him? 0.95

00:46:16.000 And then how do you know that you're a descendant of slaves?

00:46:20.000 Because not every single black person that are living here today are a direct descendant of slavery.

00:46:25.000 Not every black person was a slave, even during slavery.

00:46:30.000 There were black people who owned slaves.

00:46:32.000 Which side are you on?

00:46:34.000 A good majority of white people migrated here after slavery.

00:46:38.000 So a lot of white people are not even associated to slave owners.

00:46:41.000 And then even in the slave industry, not a lot of white people own slaves.

00:46:46.000 So you don't have a lot of people in this country don't even have direct connection to slavery.

00:46:51.000 And explain to me this. 0.75

00:46:53.000 How come after slavery was over, there was a period of time that black people excelled and they were married more so than white people.

00:47:01.000 They were prospering.

00:47:02.000 They were building at a rate that was unbelievable.

00:47:05.000 But half a century after slavery.

00:47:08.000 And then now, look at what we're going downhill.

00:47:12.000 How do we go downhill?

00:47:14.000 How did they do so well?

00:47:16.000 How did Black Wall Street get erected in the early 1900s? 1.00

00:47:21.000 Madam C.J. Walker was the first female millionaire out of any race in the early 1900s. 1.00

00:47:26.000 How were we doing so good and building so much in the early 1900s?

00:47:29.000 And all of a sudden in 2020, you know, the rudiments of slavery has bound us.

00:47:36.000 Look, nobody told you to smoke crack.

00:47:38.000 Nobody told you to sell crack.

00:47:39.000 That has nothing to do with the white man.

00:47:41.000 I don't care if they put it in your community.

00:47:42.000 Somebody can go put stolen guns right here in the front of the studio.

00:47:45.000 It's up to me to go pick that gun up and do something with it. 0.91

00:47:47.000 There was a lot of black people that didn't sell drugs, and a lot of black people didn't use drugs. 0.98

00:47:51.000 What's your excuse? 0.80

00:47:53.000 You know, I don't know.

00:47:54.000 I can go on about that.

00:47:55.000 Well, and so you look at the idea of reparations is inherently racist.

00:48:00.000 It is.

00:48:00.000 And I think it lowers the expectations of black people, essentially giving black individuals an excuse right now and saying, oh, well, just wait for your check.

00:48:10.000 Second of all, this is very perplexing to me.

00:48:14.000 The left says it's racist to ask for a voter ID, but you're supposed to prove your ancestry back to the 1820s or say 1642.

00:48:21.000 Wait a second.

00:48:22.000 Let me get my paperwork together so I can prove that I'm a descendant of slaves, but I can't ask for an ID to go vote.

00:48:27.000 Exactly.

00:48:28.000 Something there doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:48:29.000 Second of all, exactly. 0.95

00:48:30.000 If you're biracial, how does that work? 1.00

00:48:32.000 Do you pay yourself? 0.73

00:48:33.000 And then the other question is, if they really want to have this question of ancestry, I've been so bothered by this, and I've talked about this on previous episodes of our show, is I went back, and my family has been incredibly detailed with genealogy, right?

00:48:47.000 So I went back seven generations ago, Will Crockin, on my father's mother's side, fought in the Civil War on the Union side.

00:48:56.000 So why do I have to pay reparations?

00:48:58.000 My bloodline helped free the slaves.

00:49:00.000 Exactly.

00:49:01.000 And by the way, that doesn't make me a good person.

00:49:02.000 That's the whole point.

00:49:03.000 It doesn't make me a bad person or a good person because I'm actually a separate individual from someone seven generations ago.

00:49:09.000 Right.

00:49:09.000 And however, the left is trying to convince us that because you're of a certain skin color, you have certain privilege, which goes for the question about white privilege.

00:49:17.000 Is there white privilege?

00:49:19.000 I don't believe it is.

00:49:20.000 Now, let me explain it like this because it got to be more detailed than that, right?

00:49:23.000 Are there white people that have privilege in this country?

00:49:26.000 Yes. 0.78

00:49:27.000 Are there black people that have privilege? 0.76

00:49:29.000 Yes.

00:49:29.000 If you're a good-looking man or woman, you have privilege.

00:49:32.000 If you have money, green privilege is probably the biggest privilege.

00:49:35.000 But there are privileges afforded to some people. 0.99

00:49:38.000 But when you talk about it being a systemic thing, when you're talking about white privilege being afforded to every white person, you got to be nuts, man. 0.81

00:49:47.000 I mean, when I was growing up, me and my brother, we had friends named Dustin and Derek. 0.93

00:49:52.000 Dustin and Derek were poor.

00:49:54.000 We weren't poor.

00:49:55.000 They were extremely poor. 1.00

00:49:56.000 And they were white. 0.97

00:49:57.000 But they were white.

00:49:58.000 And my mama, and we didn't, you know, we didn't tell them right away, and they did it through mamas and mamas because they didn't even know their dad.

00:50:04.000 I knew my dad was in my life.

00:50:06.000 They didn't know their dad.

00:50:07.000 Never seen that guy.

00:50:08.000 We used to go to the house and they should sleep on mattresses and no sheets.

00:50:11.000 They were poor.

00:50:12.000 And my mom used to give them our hand-me-down clothes.

00:50:15.000 So all the clothes we ran out of, she used to give it to Dustin and Derek.

00:50:18.000 And they never knew.

00:50:18.000 And we used to go over there and they'd be wearing our clothes, our old clothes.

00:50:21.000 They didn't know.

00:50:22.000 They just got new clothes.

00:50:23.000 And so to think, and as a police officer, too, I patrolled in the city of Tucson. 1.00

00:50:28.000 I patrol in the poor areas, in the trailer parks. 0.99

00:50:31.000 People are poor.

00:50:33.000 They have fatherless homes. 0.99

00:50:34.000 They are uneducated, illiterate, using drugs. 0.99

00:50:37.000 Not everybody in the trailer, but I'm saying the poor areas in the white community. 1.00

00:50:40.000 White America is like that. 0.97

00:50:42.000 Right. 1.00

00:50:43.000 They don't have a chance.

00:50:45.000 Some of these kids don't have a chance, man.

00:50:47.000 I never forget this call I went on.

00:50:48.000 It was a six-year-old boy, maybe he was seven, seven-year-old boy.

00:50:52.000 Nobody knew he was missing.

00:50:53.000 I'm driving down the street at about four o'clock in the morning, three o'clock in the morning, and I see a little kid on the corner.

00:50:58.000 And I'm like, that don't look right.

00:51:00.000 There's a little kid, and it's dark outside.

00:51:02.000 There's a little kid on a corner by himself.

00:51:04.000 So I pull over, put him in a car.

00:51:06.000 He was able to tell me where he lived.

00:51:08.000 Obviously, I called it in and did all that stuff.

00:51:09.000 I took him to the house where he was at.

00:51:12.000 He's living with his grandparents because his parents are, I don't know, how drugs somewhere.

00:51:16.000 They're like 80 years old.

00:51:20.000 They can't handle him.

00:51:21.000 And so what he does is, when they go to sleep, he sneaks out and go play video games at his friend's house and then come back before they wake up. 0.99

00:51:28.000 I almost wanted to cry because as a eight-year-old, what life does he have with elderly people who can't even play with him, who can't get up and move around? 0.89

00:51:38.000 They're asleep. 0.99

00:51:39.000 They can't move.

00:51:40.000 They can't play with him.

00:51:41.000 He doesn't have a life.

00:51:42.000 They were poor on top of that.

00:51:44.000 So you want to tell me about white privilege?

00:51:46.000 Give me a break. 0.99

00:51:48.000 And so I completely agree.

00:51:50.000 Let's go back to the example of the two individuals you grew up with, Dustin and Derek.

00:51:53.000 Yep.

00:51:54.000 They didn't have a father in their home, right?

00:51:55.000 Never seen that guy.

00:51:56.000 And you had a father in your life in some capacity and a mother.

00:51:59.000 Yeah.

00:52:00.000 And you were giving clothes down to them.

00:52:03.000 Right. 1.00

00:52:03.000 You had two parent privilege. 1.00

00:52:05.000 I did.

00:52:05.000 And they didn't.

00:52:06.000 Yep.

00:52:06.000 And that's really the crux of the issue, I believe, is the destruction of the family structure.

00:52:11.000 It really is.

00:52:12.000 100%. 0.69

00:52:13.000 And your story reinforces what the data actually shows: that a white child raised by a single parent is far less likely to succeed than a black child raised by a mother and father. 0.83

00:52:24.000 Right. 0.79

00:52:25.000 Right.

00:52:26.000 How is it that black fatherlessness is now at 77%?

00:52:29.000 How did that happen?

00:52:30.000 Well, it's a few things.

00:52:32.000 It's a few things.

00:52:32.000 I think it has become culturally acceptable in the latter part of this century.

00:52:38.000 And also, I mean, the last decade.

00:52:41.000 Also, the welfare state.

00:52:43.000 If the welfare state created a situation where you don't need daddy at home, right? 0.80

00:52:49.000 Because the government is your daddy.

00:52:52.000 And also, you don't need God because the government is your God. 0.91

00:52:56.000 So if you want to think about morally having a father in the home, which what black people used morally, not just through economic gain, but morally, that has been blown out of the water. 0.93

00:53:06.000 And now you don't have to be responsible when you have sex with people and have children. 0.92

00:53:13.000 You don't have to be responsible.

00:53:14.000 And Planned Parenthood's a very quick.

00:53:15.000 Planned Parenthood gives you an option.

00:53:17.000 If you, you can do whatever you want.

00:53:19.000 You're a free bird.

00:53:20.000 You can sleep around all day you want, men and women. 0.85

00:53:23.000 And I think this is more damaging to men than it is to women, but you can sleep around all you want. 1.00

00:53:27.000 If you mess up, go have an abortion. 1.00

00:53:29.000 If you mess up and you want the kid, keep the kid. 1.00

00:53:33.000 You don't need his daddy. 0.98

00:53:34.000 You can go down there and file for all kinds of rights and get all kinds of money as a single mom. 0.98

00:53:40.000 When back in the day, it wasn't that case.

00:53:42.000 It would be beneficial for both people to stand together.

00:53:44.000 And I'll tell you this for the men.

00:53:46.000 Let me tell you what Planned Parenthood do for men.

00:53:48.000 It just destroys your responsibility.

00:53:50.000 Because now you can sleep with a girl and say, look, I don't want to be with you. 0.57

00:53:52.000 And then she goes down to Planned Parenthood because she has no other options, right? 0.99

00:53:56.000 Or, I mean, in her mind.

00:53:57.000 Or you, you know, you're in a relationship with a person and you say, you know what?

00:54:04.000 I want to start a family somewhere else.

00:54:06.000 I don't want to be with you.

00:54:07.000 Go get food stamps because that kid will survive without me.

00:54:11.000 This concept has just destroyed the family.

00:54:16.000 And I think that if we can address those things and point those things out, which in some cases I think is probably too late for many people, we can point those out.

00:54:24.000 I think we can actually have a productive change.

00:54:26.000 Yeah, and BLM Inc. on their website says they want to destroy and disrupt the nuclear family.

00:54:32.000 Haven't they already done that? 0.67

00:54:33.000 Yeah.

00:54:33.000 I mean, they want to go from 77% to 90%?

00:54:36.000 Yeah, they want to go to 100%.

00:54:38.000 I think they would love to be at 100%.

00:54:40.000 So say that very clearly because there's a lot of people listening to this podcast.

00:54:44.000 We get their emails at freedom at charliekirk.com where sometimes they're like, wait a second.

00:54:51.000 I don't believe that BLM Inc. has bad intentions.

00:54:54.000 They have terrible intentions.

00:54:55.000 All you got to do is look at their website.

00:54:57.000 Think about the ramifications of dismantling the nuclear family.

00:55:02.000 Think of the ramifications.

00:55:03.000 Everybody knows the stats.

00:55:04.000 If you don't have a dad at home, you are tremendously more likely to commit crimes, to go to jail, to drop out of school, to just have a commit suicide.

00:55:14.000 That's a big one that people don't talk about anymore.

00:55:16.000 But you have a higher likelihood of not succeeding in life without a father at home.

00:55:22.000 Now, let me tell you why.

00:55:23.000 I mean, it's not just mom and dad or whatever the case may be.

00:55:26.000 It's because there are certain instinctual things that you can only get from your father.

00:55:32.000 And as a young man, how do you know how to become a man and be a leader and have the God-given example if you don't have a man around?

00:55:41.000 See, when you don't have your father around, and not just any man, your father.

00:55:46.000 Because you know your father looks like you.

00:55:48.000 You act like your father.

00:55:50.000 There's a connection there.

00:55:51.000 There's a genetic connection there that people are just acting like it doesn't matter.

00:55:55.000 Your father is very important.

00:55:56.000 Now, for the young women, not just the boys.

00:55:59.000 How do you know what type of man you should marry? 0.95

00:56:03.000 How do you know how men should treat you? 1.00

00:56:06.000 You're not going to get that if you just have your mom. 0.81

00:56:09.000 You need to have a strong father so you can have an example of the type of man that's a leader, provider, and all of the above.

00:56:15.000 Not saying that you can't make more money than your husband, but I'm saying you need to see an example of that.

00:56:19.000 That's very important.

00:56:20.000 Now, BLM's website talks about dismantling that.

00:56:23.000 Why?

00:56:25.000 Because they want destruction.

00:56:26.000 They want control.

00:56:27.000 I believe personally, they're acting on behalf, almost like the KKK, they're acting on behalf of the democratic movement.

00:56:35.000 They're acting on behalf of the leftist agenda.

00:56:37.000 They're not acting on behalf of what's best for black people.

00:56:39.000 Because if they were, they wouldn't even be talking about police brutality.

00:56:43.000 They wouldn't even be talking about that.

00:56:44.000 That'll be something on a back burner that they're cooking, you know, for 20 years from now.

00:56:49.000 But right now, they will be focusing on the family.

00:56:51.000 They'll be focusing on education. 0.99

00:56:53.000 They will be focusing on eliminating black on black violence and black hatred within the inner city communities if they really cared. 0.99

00:57:00.000 But they don't care. 0.99

00:57:01.000 They wouldn't be protesting like they're doing.

00:57:03.000 They wouldn't be calling out white people and unraveling everything that Martin Luther King stood for.

00:57:07.000 Martin Luther King did not want privilege for black people.

00:57:10.000 He wanted equality.

00:57:11.000 Martin Luther King wanted to be judged by the content of the character.

00:57:14.000 That means you have to have good character to make it in life, not the color of your skin. 0.79

00:57:19.000 And BLM Inc., this BLM movement, in my personal opinion, is they want privileges for black people. 0.79

00:57:26.000 They don't want justice. 0.94

00:57:27.000 They want revenge.

00:57:29.000 They don't want equality.

00:57:30.000 They want, like I said, they want to be held above. 0.99

00:57:32.000 And they hate white people. 0.99

00:57:35.000 They're conjuring up hatred towards white people. 0.99

00:57:38.000 It's not just criticism. 0.98

00:57:39.000 It's absolute hatred.

00:57:40.000 And Nick Cannon, I don't know if you heard what Nick Cannon said.

00:57:43.000 He ended up getting fired. 0.77

00:57:45.000 He said some anti-Semitic things, but I mean, he was just completely bashing white people as if they're inferior beings. 0.98

00:57:53.000 And it's completely shameful. 0.76

00:57:56.000 Yeah, and Charlemagne the God says, this is right up here. 1.00

00:58:02.000 Nick Cannon firing proves Jews have the power. 1.00

00:58:06.000 That's interesting. 1.00

00:58:07.000 I'm not really sure what to make of that.

00:58:08.000 But that's, I'm not a Charlemagne the God fair. 0.88

00:58:11.000 We could talk about all the white people getting fired. 0.91

00:58:12.000 Does that mean that black people had a power? 0.94

00:58:14.000 Because a lot of white people got fired for just saying all lives matter. 0.67

00:58:17.000 Yeah, from the Sacramento Kings.

00:58:19.000 Yeah, Sacramento Kings, he was a radio host or whatever, or whatever, a commentator.

00:58:24.000 That's right.

00:58:25.000 All lives matter, fired.

00:58:26.000 Lost his whole job.

00:58:27.000 So this is Newsie Today, a National Museum of African American History.

00:58:31.000 I don't know if you saw this or not.

00:58:32.000 The National Museum of African American History and Culture.

00:58:35.000 I don't know if it's the official one in D.C., but it seems like it is. 0.80

00:58:38.000 Has published a guide which asserts that hard work, the nuclear family, and Christianity itself are negative forms of whiteness that should be reconsidered because they are oppressive. 0.91

00:58:49.000 Now, I think they get taxpayer dollars. 0.98

00:58:52.000 So this is what they're teaching black people, though. 0.78

00:58:54.000 And they're teaching white people that visit the museum, and it's in curriculum now, that hard work, nuclear family, and Christianity are forms of whiteness. 0.63

00:59:02.000 You know what's funny is that all of those things you mentioned is how the slaves were freed.

00:59:07.000 I'm just going to tell you, how did black people become free from slavery against the slave owners' rule, right?

00:59:15.000 Through the Underground Railroad and other forms of escaping.

00:59:18.000 The Bible.

00:59:19.000 See, the slave owner used to have church and the slaves used to be underneath the church, but the slaves began to listen.

00:59:25.000 The slaves began to teach themselves how to interpret the Bible, the stories of Moses.

00:59:29.000 They used those stories.

00:59:30.000 They used those stories and they sung those hymns, which led them to freedom.

00:59:36.000 So God was the avenue of freedom for the slaves, and the slave owner never knew about it.

00:59:41.000 Then when you talk about the family, the strength that black people had, even beyond slavery, even in slavery, their strength was the family.

00:59:51.000 They could stick together, mom and dad, you know, raising the children, being strong, showing them leadership.

00:59:57.000 Even after slavery was abolished, that concept pursued.

01:00:01.000 Those things are hard work. 1.00

01:00:04.000 How did black people ever get anywhere? 0.56

01:00:06.000 Remember when black people didn't even have rights and they fought? 0.98

01:00:09.000 They fought in our military?

01:00:11.000 That's hard work. 0.99

01:00:13.000 Working on the farms and stuff that black people did way back in the day was hard work to build their reputation.

01:00:19.000 Frederick Douglass, all of the black leaders, they had to work hard and they didn't want any handouts.

01:00:25.000 They just wanted equal treatment and respect.

01:00:27.000 That's all he did.

01:00:28.000 And they say these are forms of whiteness.

01:00:30.000 It's similar to what you said previously about in the hood, they say, oh, that's what white people do, right?

01:00:34.000 It's the bigotry of low expectations.

01:00:34.000 Yeah.

01:00:36.000 It is. 0.99

01:00:37.000 So white people are better than you. 0.98

01:00:38.000 I mean, this is what it's saying. 1.00

01:00:40.000 If you are a solid person with good morals, then you can't be black. 1.00

01:00:44.000 I mean, you can't be white. 1.00

01:00:45.000 You have to be black. 1.00

01:00:46.000 If you don't want the family, if you don't want to stay with you. 0.99

01:00:48.000 It's actually incredibly racist.

01:00:51.000 That is one of the most racist comments anybody can make.

01:00:53.000 And this is a museum.

01:00:54.000 This is not just some activist.

01:00:56.000 This is the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

01:00:59.000 They also say they have to reject science, the scientific method.

01:01:04.000 So, you know, when you talk about data and stats, this whole idea is very postmodern, right?

01:01:08.000 It's postmodernism.

01:01:10.000 Jacques Derrida started this whole idea that there's no such thing as absolute truth.

01:01:14.000 Destroy everything around you.

01:01:15.000 Everyone has your own truth.

01:01:17.000 Yeah.

01:01:17.000 My truth.

01:01:18.000 So you mentioned something.

01:01:21.000 You mentioned the church, and we talked about this Christianity.

01:01:24.000 The church actually plays a very big role in black America still to this day.

01:01:28.000 Does Candace has said this before, you've said this before, that black people are actually more conservative than they realize.

01:01:34.000 Yeah.

01:01:35.000 Can you build that out?

01:01:36.000 Yeah, I mean, just think about this for a minute.

01:01:38.000 Most black people that I know, when I was growing up, everybody go to church. 0.99

01:01:41.000 Even if you were a sinner, you were a devil. 1.00

01:01:44.000 You know, you getting drunk on the weekends and having prostitutes or something. 1.00

01:01:48.000 You go to church every Sunday. 0.56

01:01:50.000 That's when you grew up.

01:01:52.000 When I was growing up, you go to church, no matter what. 0.99

01:01:54.000 Now, obviously, it was good people, and there are people that are bad, but you take your butt to church. 0.98

01:01:57.000 You better wake up, wipe the dust out of your eyes, get that stuff out, put some chewing gum in your mouth. 0.99

01:02:01.000 You go to church. 0.97

01:02:03.000 In the black community, God was very important.

01:02:06.000 And that's what kind of kept the community together because we had a sense of family, not only in the house, but also in your church family.

01:02:14.000 And then working hard is a part of the black culture.

01:02:18.000 And it gets manipulated on television. 0.92

01:02:20.000 It gets manipulated by BLM Inc. 0.99

01:02:22.000 And also some of these shows, I think, paint black America in a negative light, loving hip-hop and all these shits. 0.97

01:02:27.000 Some of the more modern shows, some of them, you know, Family Matters and stuff. 0.98

01:02:27.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.98

01:02:31.000 I mean, some of those used to paint black people in a very positive way.

01:02:34.000 Cosby show before.

01:02:35.000 Sanford Sun.

01:02:36.000 I mean, some of these others used to paint black people as hard workers, have the family together, moving on up.

01:02:43.000 All these different concepts that were out there before was a real representation of the black community.

01:02:48.000 Now it's just destructive. 1.00

01:02:51.000 So when I was growing up, we were conservative, but we believed that we were all Democrats, right?

01:02:57.000 But when I got older, I started to look back, you know, and I started really evaluating my political beliefs and my social beliefs.

01:03:03.000 I say, wait a minute, everything my daddy taught me was the conservative agenda.

01:03:10.000 My dad never taught me to reach for a handout.

01:03:13.000 My father grew up in the projects.

01:03:14.000 His daddy wasn't even around.

01:03:17.000 My dad started the police department, I mean, the fire department when he was 19 years old.

01:03:21.000 And he just retired after 35 plus years of working hard every day.

01:03:26.000 My dad went to work every day.

01:03:28.000 And he worked hard to the end.

01:03:30.000 And there was some conflict when he first started the fire department.

01:03:34.000 And his philosophy was that he don't care nothing about racial tensions and none of that because these individuals who act out of character will be working for him one day.

01:03:42.000 What do you know?

01:03:43.000 They were working for him.

01:03:44.000 He retired as the chief, the top man on the totem pole.

01:03:47.000 So my dad taught me about hard work, taught me about not making excuses, taught me about going to church.

01:03:52.000 We went to church.

01:03:53.000 We were young.

01:03:53.000 My dad should have us in there.

01:03:54.000 We should go to sleep in church.

01:03:56.000 But we were in there.

01:03:57.000 You know, we heard the music.

01:04:00.000 We heard the pastor hoop and holler.

01:04:01.000 We didn't know what he was talking about, but we knew God and we knew we needed to be in church.

01:04:06.000 And when you look at conservative principles today, that's exactly what conservatism is about.

01:04:11.000 You think my daddy wants to pay all them taxes?

01:04:13.000 No, he don't.

01:04:14.000 He never did.

01:04:15.000 You think my dad wanted welfare?

01:04:17.000 My dad didn't believe in that.

01:04:19.000 He wouldn't have got a job, man. 1.00

01:04:21.000 And so most black people are like that. 0.99

01:04:23.000 But we have been brainwashed through rhetoric, through words like Black Lives Matter, like Planned Parenthood, Democrat. 0.92

01:04:32.000 It's almost hypnotic, isn't it?

01:04:33.000 Yeah, liberal.

01:04:35.000 Like these terms, I believe, are, it really gets into your subconscious and it makes you believe that these are genuine words that are focusing on what the word says, not necessarily what the actions are.

01:04:48.000 And so I think the black community is more conservative than we give them credit for.

01:04:52.000 Yeah, way more conservative.

01:04:54.000 And I think they're looking for a renaissance of leadership in the conservative movement that will represent life and the family and the church.

01:05:05.000 And for a variety of reasons, is the left has such a monopoly on the black community and through people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson that have done such damage.

01:05:14.000 I think black America has a huge potential of waking up.

01:05:18.000 And it's a very difficult political question.

01:05:21.000 And in the late 90s, the Democrat Party, they totally went to the decision, we are going to represent the super rich and the super poor.

01:05:29.000 That's going to be our constituency, right?

01:05:31.000 We're going to represent the Silicon Valley elites in Wall Street. 0.81

01:05:34.000 And also, we are going to keep poor people poor so that they can keep us in power. 0.98

01:05:37.000 Right. 1.00

01:05:38.000 Right?

01:05:38.000 And then we're going to have immigration policies that reflect that.

01:05:40.000 The Republicans stumbled backwards, thanks to Donald Trump, into representing the middle class, the workers.

01:05:45.000 And that's where black America used to be.

01:05:47.000 Black America used to be the middle class of our country.

01:05:50.000 In the 40s and 50s in particular, it was awful because of Jim Crow.

01:05:54.000 But black America was actually doing better economically in the 50s than black America did in the 70s.

01:05:59.000 It's interesting how it's actually very important.

01:06:02.000 So here's my question, Brandon, is that I hear a lot of prognostication and a lot of punditry and a lot of people saying, how's Trump going to do in the black community?

01:06:12.000 Let's just first start with this.

01:06:13.000 What is your opinion on Donald Trump?

01:06:15.000 And then is Trump going to do better or surprise people in the black community?

01:06:20.000 Well, I like Donald Trump.

01:06:22.000 You know, I think Donald Trump has done a tremendous job at accomplishing the things he told us he wanted to do with all of this rejection.

01:06:29.000 You know what I mean?

01:06:30.000 With investigation after investigation. 0.99

01:06:31.000 He's a racist. 0.99

01:06:32.000 He's done this. 1.00

01:06:32.000 I mean, they literally want to kill the man every time he goes on stage and says anything. 1.00

01:06:37.000 But I think he's done a tremendous job.

01:06:39.000 Some of the highlights that I consistently talk about is HBCUs, historically black colleges and universities.

01:06:45.000 He has done something there that no other president has done.

01:06:48.000 Not even more than 10 years ago.

01:06:49.000 More funding than ever before.

01:06:50.000 More funding, and he made funding consistent and permanent, right?

01:06:54.000 The HBCU presidents used to always have to come back and beg, can we get more money?

01:06:58.000 Can we get a little more?

01:06:59.000 Can we get consistency?

01:07:00.000 And Donald Trump signed an executive order that gave them more money and consistency.

01:07:03.000 You talk about prison reform.

01:07:05.000 You know, obviously not every black person is in prison.

01:07:08.000 But this is the federal prison reform that no other president has done to this level.

01:07:11.000 And it's the first step.

01:07:13.000 So there's a progression that's going to be had under President Trump's administration to further the progression of allowing people who have been put in jail by Democratic policies, 94 crime bill, three strikes rules, and all of those things.

01:07:27.000 Joe Biden and Bill Clinton.

01:07:28.000 Joe Biden and Bill Clinton implemented by the Democrats.

01:07:30.000 He has reversed some of those things and given people access to freedom, access to the reduction of residuals.

01:07:36.000 All of those things are done under his administration.

01:07:42.000 The zones where opportunity zones where they project that $100 billion of investments are going to go into these opportunities.

01:07:50.000 That's a huge deal.

01:07:51.000 I mean, imagine being in some of these areas that you're getting hundreds of millions of dollars of innovation, investments.

01:07:59.000 For jobs, for capital. 1.00

01:08:00.000 Even black people. 1.00

01:08:01.000 Like, they act like black people don't have money. 1.00

01:08:02.000 If you're black and you're going to make some contributing investments in some of these black areas, you are going to get, you know, the availability to do so without all the restrictions and regulations that you would normally see. 1.00

01:08:15.000 So he's done that.

01:08:15.000 Not only has he done that, the economy, cutting taxes and building an economy helps every American, including black Americans.

01:08:23.000 There are so many entrepreneurs that have sprouted up under President Trump.

01:08:26.000 Unemployment was the lowest it's been in history for black people.

01:08:30.000 And when you talk about just those fundamental principles, we're not going to talk about being a strong leader.

01:08:35.000 We're not going to talk about putting America first and all of those things. 0.98

01:08:38.000 Killing terrorists. 0.99

01:08:38.000 Killing terrorists, more pride in America. 0.99

01:08:40.000 We're not going to talk about those things.

01:08:42.000 But when you add all that together, I think President Trump has Trump has done a tremendous job.

01:08:47.000 Far better than what Sleepy Joe could ever do.

01:08:49.000 Beijing Biden.

01:08:50.000 Beijing Biden.

01:08:52.000 Far better than what any of these Democrats have shown and that they're even proposing to do. 0.97

01:08:57.000 Black people don't want handouts.

01:08:59.000 Just need an opportunity. 0.99

01:09:01.000 That's it.

01:09:02.000 You know, and I think black people don't want taxes to be raised out of control because there are wealthy black people too.

01:09:07.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:09:08.000 I don't know.

01:09:08.000 Did they forget?

01:09:09.000 Look at all these athletes and superstars that are out here talking students.

01:09:11.000 There's a lot of black entrepreneurs. 0.99

01:09:13.000 Black entrepreneurs that aren't athletes. 1.00

01:09:15.000 I know a lot of black people that got a lot of money.

01:09:17.000 And they may not be super billionaires, but they're millionaires.

01:09:20.000 They got money.

01:09:21.000 They're doing really well.

01:09:22.000 Why would they want taxes to be raised?

01:09:23.000 They don't want that.

01:09:25.000 But they're doing more manipulation on putting Trump in a position of being racist than them having other people.

01:09:30.000 So with all the propaganda that's happening, I think the left, the reason they've played their cards so aggressively with the George Floyd situation and recently with BLM Inc., more so than any propaganda that you and I have ever seen, right?

01:09:41.000 I mean, it is corporate America.

01:09:44.000 Google is funding $100 million to black-only voices, which I think is incredibly racist.

01:09:49.000 Why not just good voices?

01:09:50.000 Why not people that have skill?

01:09:52.000 I mean, anyway.

01:09:53.000 I want them to give me some of that money.

01:09:55.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:09:56.000 They could subscribe to your YouTube channel that has a million subscribers.

01:09:59.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:10:00.000 This might get reposted on your channel so they can hit this bell to subscribe, right?

01:10:03.000 Oh, yeah.

01:10:04.000 So, but here's my question, and answer as honestly as you can because I hear all sorts of different opinions.

01:10:11.000 How's Trump going to do with the black vote?

01:10:14.000 I think that he will do surprisingly well. 0.97

01:10:17.000 I think he would.

01:10:18.000 Now, let me say, before the pandemic and all this stuff, and George Floyd and all that craziness, I think it was trending really well.

01:10:23.000 I thought he was going to get upwards of about 25% of the vote, 30% of the vote.

01:10:28.000 That's what I thought.

01:10:29.000 I thought he was going to dominate because I know so many black people that have woken up from 2016 to now because of people like Candace Owens and myself and things that we've done at turning points with the young black people.

01:10:38.000 Real movement, right?

01:10:39.000 Real stuff, tangible stuff that people can get behind and be influenced by and be able to be free from, right?

01:10:45.000 Or be free because of.

01:10:47.000 So I thought he was going to do about 90%, about 30% increase from 8% in 2016.

01:10:53.000 Not very far-fetched.

01:10:54.000 You know, some of the polls have shown that he's done tremendously well.

01:10:57.000 After the pandemic and this just influx of foolery and craziness, I think that it may go down to about 15%.

01:11:03.000 Still going to be, I think it's still going to be surprising and it's still going to be higher than in 2016. 0.80

01:11:08.000 And I think, Brandon, the reason why they've done this is because they saw movement in the black community for Trump.

01:11:13.000 Oh, yeah.

01:11:14.000 I think that a lot of this was because BLM Inc. and a lot of the merchants of chaos and a lot of the architects of disunity and disorder, they said, we can't allow this to happen. 0.60

01:11:25.000 I really believe it.

01:11:25.000 Right.

01:11:26.000 That's why they went all in the way they did on the mass propaganda because they knew Donald Trump was making serious inroads in the black community.

01:11:33.000 And what does the dem, what, what, I just, I'm frustrated because the black community has been so abused by the Democrat Party.

01:11:41.000 I mean, Chicago has not had a Republican mayor since 1931.

01:11:46.000 Democrats own that.

01:11:47.000 Okay. 0.81

01:11:48.000 So has black America done better or worse since 1931 in Chicago? 0.78

01:11:52.000 Worse, despite civil rights being passed by a Republican Congress and it was signed by a Democrat president reluctantly, despite desegregation happening. 0.66

01:12:01.000 Why would black America be doing worse? 0.84

01:12:02.000 Because of Democrat leadership.

01:12:03.000 The policies, man.

01:12:04.000 The policies are putting people, the policies are more focused on power than the people.

01:12:08.000 And I think people may not understand that.

01:12:10.000 They create chaos and confusion in your community so they can say every election cycle, we're going to fix it.

01:12:14.000 We're going to fix it.

01:12:15.000 I mean, y'all been in office for 30-something years and y'all have done nothing.

01:12:15.000 We're going to fix it.

01:12:18.000 I don't even understand how people are even thinking about voting for somebody like Joe Biden as the president or any one of these Democrats in the area.

01:12:25.000 In New York, the crime rate is up like 200, 300%.

01:12:25.000 I mean, come on, man.

01:12:30.000 And then the murder rate is up a tremendous amount.

01:12:33.000 These are Democrats running these cities, man.

01:12:36.000 And when you talk about defunding the police and all of that other crazy stuff, it's mostly Democrats who are running with that, man.

01:12:42.000 And in the inner city and some of these.

01:12:43.000 I think white liberals, I don't see people in the hood that are like, take away our police.

01:12:48.000 No, not the real people.

01:12:49.000 You know, you got the protesters that run around in the hood and they paid bust in.

01:12:53.000 I'm talking about someone who's waking up at 5 a.m.

01:12:53.000 We're not like real people.

01:12:55.000 They're getting on a bus and they're going to work.

01:12:58.000 And they got three kids to worry about.

01:12:58.000 Right.

01:12:59.000 You think they're the ones that are saying defund the police?

01:13:01.000 Well, wait a minute.

01:13:03.000 When you see your kid gets shot in the head by drive-by shooting in your community and you see kids getting shot, it's been nine in the last three weeks.

01:13:11.000 And we have some of the names here.

01:13:12.000 Yeah.

01:13:13.000 And you want the police to show up, right? 0.99

01:13:16.000 I mean, name me a kid that was shot in the head in one of these stupid drive-by shooting gang-related things that is saying, no, we don't want to call the police. 0.99

01:13:24.000 We're going to let John John down the street come and take care of our baby. 0.99

01:13:27.000 No, they're calling the police to come for help.

01:13:29.000 They need the police in some of these cities. 0.52

01:13:31.000 Secoria Turner, eight-year-old girl.

01:13:33.000 Let's talk about Secoria real quick because my channel did a tremendous work for Sequoria.

01:13:38.000 And I'm trying not to get emotional because when Secoria was killed in Atlanta, her mom and them got off the freeway.

01:13:47.000 They end up getting met by a barrier that was a false barrier that was put up by BLM protesters.

01:13:53.000 They didn't know where to go.

01:13:53.000 They go to turn around and a shootout occurs, kills her baby, kills Secario.

01:13:58.000 In the crossfire.

01:13:59.000 In the crossfire. 0.92

01:14:00.000 Died in her mama's arms.

01:14:03.000 Now, they did it, go fund me.

01:14:05.000 We communicated with the family.

01:14:06.000 They did it to go fund me.

01:14:07.000 They started to go fund me.

01:14:07.000 We wanted to support them.

01:14:09.000 I assumed that they were going to do very well.

01:14:11.000 We were going to donate, I don't know, $500 or so and help them out.

01:14:15.000 They had like $4,000.

01:14:18.000 That's all they had at first.

01:14:20.000 And we shared on our social media, about $4,000 all they had. 1.00

01:14:24.000 No Black Lives Matter.

01:14:25.000 No real contributions. 1.00

01:14:27.000 They had nothing. 0.98

01:14:28.000 She didn't even have enough money to bury her child.

01:14:30.000 And you got to think, she lost her car too because they shot her car up. 0.95

01:14:33.000 She didn't have transportation.

01:14:35.000 Her kid just died.

01:14:36.000 She has other children.

01:14:38.000 Nobody gave anything.

01:14:40.000 I decided I'm going to make a video on my YouTube and I'm going to tell people this story and I'm going to say, go donate, go help her.

01:14:46.000 In two days, two and a half days, maybe three days, we raised $300,000 for her family.

01:14:51.000 She only had $100,000 on the thing.

01:14:53.000 We raised $300,000.

01:14:54.000 It could be up now.

01:14:55.000 I haven't checked in the last couple of days. 0.98

01:14:57.000 But these racist Trump supporters, these sell-out Uncle Toms are the one that provided all that murder for her family. 0.99

01:15:08.000 And so near the burned-out Wendy's, because that's where the barrier was created.

01:15:12.000 Did they ever arrest the individual who murdered her?

01:15:17.000 I believe that they found two suspects.

01:15:19.000 Good.

01:15:20.000 They were in an exchange of gunfire.

01:15:21.000 And she wasn't the only one that died, mind you.

01:15:23.000 There was other people that died.

01:15:24.000 She just so happened to be, you know, she's a little kid.

01:15:27.000 Eight years old.

01:15:28.000 Eight years old.

01:15:29.000 I have a nine-year-old.

01:15:31.000 I could not imagine what it feels like to lose.

01:15:33.000 BLM Inc.

01:15:34.000 Doesn't mention any of this.

01:15:34.000 Yeah.

01:15:36.000 Nothing.

01:15:37.000 And by the way, I subscribe the BLM's email list.

01:15:40.000 Yeah.

01:15:40.000 And I get their email every day asking me for money.

01:15:44.000 Wow.

01:15:44.000 That's all they do.

01:15:45.000 And every time they send me an email asking me for money, it's white people are on the loose to go kill black people. 1.00

01:15:50.000 We got to defund the police and all this. 0.98

01:15:52.000 I have never heard Reuter Giles Jr.'s name, eight-year-old boy murdered in Birmingham Mall while with his parents at the food court.

01:16:00.000 So he's at a Birmingham mall, and all of a sudden a shooting comes out.

01:16:05.000 Three other innocent people, including another child, were wounded in the shooting.

01:16:09.000 Jace Young, six-year-old boy, was watching fireworks on July 4th with his family when he was gunned down.

01:16:16.000 An unarmed six-year-old boy is dead following a shooting in Northeast Philadelphia.

01:16:19.000 We're still getting their name.

01:16:20.000 So we track all this because no one else does.

01:16:24.000 The media doesn't list any of this.

01:16:25.000 Natalia Wallace, I don't know if you heard about this one, seven-year-old Chicago girl was shot and killed on July 4th while playing in her backyard.

01:16:32.000 They were at a barbecue.

01:16:33.000 Last Friday, New York City police arrested a 35-year-old man for allegedly slashing a two-year-old boy in the face while he's sitting in a stroller last week in Manhattan.

01:16:42.000 And last Saturday, Devon McNeil 11 was visiting family in southwest Washington, D.C., and he's killed in a drive-by shooting.

01:16:47.000 Drive-by shooting.

01:16:48.000 Senseless murders.

01:16:49.000 So all this, Socoria, Reuta, Jace, unarmed boy, Natalia, and Devon, that's six, six or seven.

01:16:57.000 I'm not counting the one that was slashed in the face.

01:16:59.000 And also one-year-old Duval Gardner Jr. killed in this stroller in Brooklyn this past weekend.

01:17:05.000 That's seven.

01:17:06.000 Yeah.

01:17:06.000 Those are seven unarmed children.

01:17:09.000 Children.

01:17:11.000 Not by police.

01:17:12.000 Right.

01:17:12.000 Who killed these people?

01:17:14.000 Right. 1.00

01:17:14.000 These other black people. 1.00

01:17:16.000 It doesn't matter the skin color. 1.00

01:17:17.000 It's just criminals, right? 1.00

01:17:18.000 I mean, these are murders. 1.00

01:17:20.000 But I think skin color is important. 0.99

01:17:21.000 I think skin color is important because the narrative is that white people are killing us. 1.00

01:17:27.000 I think you're exactly right. 1.00

01:17:28.000 I get what you're saying. 0.96

01:17:29.000 But you're right in the sense that it wasn't MAGA Hat Ware and Trump people that were coming into the inner cities killing these black people. 0.95

01:17:34.000 These children.

01:17:35.000 We just named seven children.

01:17:37.000 I mean, every life matters.

01:17:39.000 But there's something if you're under the age of 14, if you're getting gunned down and BLM Inc. is silent and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Kazi-Cortez, Ayanna Presley, and Rashida Talib and Elon Omar and Corey Booker and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden don't dare mention these people's names.

01:17:59.000 Won't even talk about it.

01:18:00.000 This is an outrage, brand new.

01:18:01.000 And yet I have to be called a racist for the color of my skin.

01:18:01.000 It is.

01:18:04.000 That's basically where we're at.

01:18:06.000 Charlie Kirk must be this because he's a white person.

01:18:09.000 Like, I'm sorry?

01:18:10.000 Like, that's where we're at?

01:18:11.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:18:12.000 These people are crazy, man. 1.00

01:18:13.000 Is it racism that's killing these kids? 1.00

01:18:15.000 No. 1.00

01:18:17.000 It's these policies in the inner city by Democrats, black hate, gang violence. 0.99

01:18:24.000 These are the things that are killing our children. 0.92

01:18:27.000 You got to think, who knows what these young people would have become?

01:18:31.000 Maybe the next president.

01:18:33.000 Maybe they would have become a lawyer, a doctor.

01:18:35.000 And they survived the Planned Parenthood Clinic.

01:18:37.000 Right.

01:18:37.000 So they made it past that point, but they couldn't survive the hood.

01:18:40.000 That's the progression.

01:18:41.000 If you can make it past, you know, the Planned Parenthood, can you make it out the hood?

01:18:45.000 Alive.

01:18:46.000 Wow.

01:18:47.000 And if you can make it out alive, you know, the sky's the limit for you.

01:18:51.000 So, Brandon, you made it out of both of those.

01:18:53.000 I made it out of both of them.

01:18:54.000 So, there are 438,000 black abortions a year. 0.94

01:18:58.000 It's crazy. 0.95

01:18:58.000 438,000, Brandon. 0.95

01:19:00.000 It's crazy.

01:19:01.000 I didn't even know people doing it like that, man.

01:19:03.000 How high?

01:19:04.000 438,000.

01:19:05.000 So there's a million abortions a year, and 43% of all abortions are black Americans.

01:19:09.000 And we make up 13% of the population.

01:19:10.000 No, no, no. 1.00

01:19:11.000 Let's just say the women, too.

01:19:12.000 So six, and then half of that is infant-bearing age.

01:19:14.000 Right.

01:19:15.000 3%.

01:19:15.000 So 3% of the U.S. population.

01:19:17.000 3%.

01:19:18.000 43%.

01:19:19.000 43.8% of all abortions.

01:19:20.000 It's as high as 48% in certain cities.

01:19:22.000 In New York City, the abortion rate is higher than the pregnancy rate, the birth rate.

01:19:26.000 So if you see, if you go on a subway in New York City or you go on a bus or you just see someone walking down the street that happens to be a pregnant black woman, it is more likely she's walking to Planned Parenthood than the delivery room.

01:19:35.000 That's sad.

01:19:36.000 And so here's some of the numbers.

01:19:38.000 In 2018, there were 7,407 black homicide victims.

01:19:41.000 Unarmed black victims of police shootings represent approximately 0.1% of all blacks killed in 2019, according to the Wall Street Journal.

01:19:48.000 Blacks die of homicide at eight times the rates of non-Hispanic whites overwhelmingly killed, not by cops, not by whites, but by other blacks, according to the CDC. 0.99

01:19:57.000 True. 1.00

01:19:57.000 And every black person knows this. 1.00

01:19:58.000 Everybody know this.

01:19:59.000 I don't know why people are being disingenuous.

01:20:01.000 When I was growing up, I wasn't afraid of the cops, right?

01:20:03.000 I was afraid of my dad.

01:20:04.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:20:05.000 Because I got arrested when I was eight years old for smoking marijuana in a vacant house.

01:20:09.000 Me and a few of my cousins.

01:20:11.000 And the police showed up, whatever.

01:20:12.000 I wasn't afraid of them.

01:20:13.000 I was afraid of Mr. Bobby Tatum because they couldn't do nothing to me.

01:20:16.000 My dad, I thought he was going to beat me to death.

01:20:18.000 I really did.

01:20:18.000 I thought that was going to be the end of me.

01:20:20.000 Thank God he didn't.

01:20:21.000 But you're growing up in the hood.

01:20:22.000 You're not afraid of police. 0.60

01:20:24.000 You're not afraid of white people.

01:20:25.000 The Klan? 0.95

01:20:26.000 The Klu Kuz Klan? 0.76

01:20:28.000 White supremacy? 0.91

01:20:29.000 What?

01:20:30.000 What is that?

01:20:30.000 I never heard of that.

01:20:31.000 You know, you see people talk about it, but that's not a reality in the hood.

01:20:34.000 You worried about somebody who mistakes you for a gang member, or you walking on the wrong street at the wrong time, or you getting robbed by somebody, or somebody doing a drive-by and shooting you in the head, you know, on accident.

01:20:48.000 I mean, I just don't understand why people are so disingenuous.

01:20:53.000 We could change this country.

01:20:55.000 We could fix these things.

01:20:57.000 We could all get behind police reform that is necessary.

01:21:00.000 We can all get behind building all of our communities up.

01:21:03.000 But people are hell-bent on being disingenuous.

01:21:07.000 They will not be honest about what's really hurting the black community. 0.98

01:21:11.000 And it ain't the police and it ain't white folks. 0.99

01:21:14.000 It's other black people. 0.56

01:21:16.000 And until we address the hatred in our own communities, until we address these political decisions that we've making, voting for Democrats 99 to 100% of the time, instead of voting on our best interest, it's just talk, man. 0.98

01:21:33.000 It's just chatter.

01:21:35.000 We're going to be talking about this for another 300 years.

01:21:38.000 So for people that are listening to our podcast, how can they learn more about you and support what you're doing?

01:21:43.000 Theofficertatum.com.

01:21:46.000 Theofficertatum.com.

01:21:47.000 VRTatum.com is my website.

01:21:48.000 Everything is on that website.

01:21:50.000 Or they can just Google Brandon Tatum.

01:21:52.000 You'll find all the stuff you want to find about me.

01:21:54.000 And for those of you watching the YouTube video, that's a CharlieKirk.com t-shirt.

01:21:59.000 Police Officers Matter.

01:22:00.000 You guys know that, man, you got it before I got it.

01:22:02.000 I wish I'd had this on mine.

01:22:04.000 You could promote it all you want.

01:22:05.000 So CharlieKirk.com.

01:22:06.000 Any closing thoughts, Brandon?

01:22:08.000 No, I just want the country to unite.

01:22:12.000 I want us to find common ground.

01:22:14.000 Where do we have things in common and how can we work together?

01:22:19.000 Whether it be the community or the police department.

01:22:22.000 I also want us to stand up and be strong.

01:22:24.000 It's time for strong men to stand up and have a backbone.

01:22:27.000 Stand up for what you believe.

01:22:28.000 Be passionate, be confident.

01:22:30.000 And lastly, we need to stick and stand by each other. 0.91

01:22:34.000 When these crazy lunatics begin to attack us, attack you, Charlie, and attack others, we need to rally behind one another. 0.87

01:22:42.000 You know, when they want to counsel you and say, oh, you can't, you know, you're fired from your job. 0.98

01:22:46.000 Let's go buy up, you know, all of all the things that are associated.

01:22:49.000 Like, what is the company called the Mexican-owned company?

01:22:52.000 Goya.

01:22:53.000 Oh, I bought Goya beans yesterday.

01:22:54.000 Me and the wife, we're going to go.

01:22:54.000 Right.

01:22:55.000 We plan on buying a whole bunch of Goya beans.

01:22:57.000 Whether they were good or not is irrelevant.

01:22:58.000 I still bought a lot of them.

01:22:59.000 Right, right.

01:23:00.000 That's what I want to see us do.

01:23:02.000 When they try to attack conservatives and they try to tear us down and claim people are racist just for supporting a president, we need to stand up.

01:23:08.000 We need to stand behind those individuals.

01:23:11.000 And that's pretty much it.

01:23:12.000 If we follow those principles, I think we'll be a better country.

01:23:15.000 And I think the people are with us.

01:23:16.000 Well, Brandon, you've been incredible.

01:23:18.000 And a lot of our audience are looking for answers to these questions.

01:23:22.000 And you've been terrific on that.

01:23:23.000 And just don't stop.

01:23:25.000 Keep speaking out because especially in this election year, they are going to try to make race the dominant issue.

01:23:30.000 I wish it wasn't the case.

01:23:32.000 I wish families and morality and jobs and manufacturing, I wish all that was the top issue.

01:23:38.000 And isn't it incredible how they have all these congressional hearings on reparations and police shootings? 0.96

01:23:42.000 Where's the congressional hearing on black fatherlessness? 1.00

01:23:45.000 That is the root cause. 1.00

01:23:46.000 It is.

01:23:47.000 At minimum.

01:23:48.000 One of the root causes.

01:23:49.000 Yeah, it's probably the major root cause because it's residual effects that people are not accounting for.

01:23:54.000 They just think, oh, father in the home, whatever, one-on-one number.

01:23:57.000 They don't understand the effect of that that's matriculated down.

01:24:01.000 All of my friends.

01:24:02.000 The police system and the school system.

01:24:03.000 Even the way you think about police, even your career path comes down to did you have a strong father to guide you in the proper direction that'll make you successful, give you the confidence you need to be a man, to be a leader, to lead a family.

01:24:17.000 All of those things are incredibly important.

01:24:18.000 75% of adolescents in prison in the Illinois State Bureau of Prisons grew up without a father.

01:24:25.000 60% of the rapists in Illinois grew up without a father.

01:24:28.000 Wow.

01:24:29.000 We'll go through the statistics.

01:24:30.000 It's incredible.

01:24:31.000 If you just look at what the composition of our prisons are, and a lot of it is because you're right, they don't have a strong father figure or strong male figure.
