00:03:12.000 Let's get to the number one news story right now, which is what has been developing over the last 24 hours in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

00:03:20.000 Some of you have been probably reading articles about this and seeing in the last couple of hours, this is now reaching a boiling point.

00:03:27.000 It feels as if it's deja vu all over again.

00:03:31.000 And in a very strange turn of events, this is happening while Derek Chauvin is on trial for the murder of George Floyd from last summer.

00:03:41.000 Now, if that incident taught us anything, it taught us that there's probably more to the story than the initial social media reaction would tell you.

00:03:52.000 For example, in the George Floyd incident, we did not know that George Floyd said seven times before any police officer touched him that he could not breathe.

00:04:02.000 We did not know that the Hennepin medical examiner, Hennepin County Medical Examiner, said that it was a drug overdose that led to the death of George Floyd.

00:04:11.000 Now, there was another autopsy that came out that had a contradicting claim, but there are two contradicting autopsies.

00:04:18.000 The point is that the original video, no matter how graphic it was, did not tell the complete story.

00:04:26.000 So the burn first, ask questions later activists are out in the streets of Minneapolis.

00:04:32.000 And I want to play the tapes for you one by one.

00:04:35.000 Let's first start with Katie Wright, who is the mother of Dante Wright.

00:04:39.000 She describes a phone call with her son.

00:04:41.000 So basically, here's the essence of what happened.

00:04:45.000 Basically, the essence of what happened in Minnesota, for what we know, and it's probably more complicated than this, is Dante Wright, who, by the way, had a warrant out for his arrest in Minnesota for aggravated robbery, which means you use a firearm to go and try and steal merchandise or product from somebody since February.

00:05:14.000 And the cops got into some altercation with him.

00:05:17.000 Now, we still don't know the details around that, but we do know how people are responding to it.

00:05:21.000 So immediately, the response from the activists are widespread looting and burning.

00:05:26.000 Let's go to actually Harris Falkener Cut 11, who's terrific.

00:05:31.000 She summarizes the situation in Minnesota, Cut 11.

00:05:34.000 Hundreds of people ended up clashing with police, looting, and more over the death of 20-year-old Dante Wright.

00:05:41.000 Police say they tried to arrest Dante Wright during a traffic stop over an outstanding warrant.

00:05:47.000 An officer shot him as he tried to drive away.

00:05:50.000 Wright drove several blocks, hit a vehicle, and then died at the scene.

00:05:55.000 This all happened about 10 miles from where the trial of Derek Chauvin is taking place.

00:06:00.000 Now, let's go to Cut 12 of Matt Finn from Fox talking about the destruction that has followed.

00:06:05.000 So that's all that we know.

00:06:08.000 And let me tell you this: the United States Constitution is written as a deliberative document.

00:06:13.000 Justice is supposed to be intentional and deliberate, rational and factual, logical.

00:06:18.000 So we have all the facts in front of us.

00:06:20.000 This idea that we are supposed to all of a sudden get to a position of outrage 12 hours after an incident is against everything that we hold near to us as Americans.

00:06:32.000 Our constitutional republic, by definition, is supposed to be one that protects the natural rights of its citizens.

00:06:40.000 But also, before we start to get lectured by the virtue-signaling, Black Square posting, BLM incorporated bumper sticker crowd, maybe we should find out exactly what's happening.

00:06:55.000 Now, listen to Matt Finn.

00:06:56.000 There's already massive destruction happening in Minneapolis.

00:07:00.000 Play Cut 12.

00:07:03.000 We've been able to survey some of the damage across town here, and this is just one of many businesses that were smashed in, looted, or destroyed.

00:07:11.000 This is a GameStop, and just next door is a UPS store that was also heavily looted.

00:07:17.000 And we, a short while ago, spoke to the sister of the owner of that smashed and UPS store.

00:07:24.000 They destroyed everything.

00:07:25.000 They pulled it out.

00:07:26.000 It's not about stealing.

00:07:28.000 I think it's just they wanted to break in and just destroy it.

00:07:33.000 You know, it's not nothing to steal here in UPS.

00:07:36.000 What do you do?

00:07:37.000 They purposely want to destroy it.

00:07:39.000 That's sad. 1.00

00:07:41.000 So that's a minority business owner.

00:07:44.000 That's the sister of the minority business owner.

00:07:47.000 And that's what ends up happening is that the upper middle class white liberal communities are untouched by this, but the black and minority and immigrant communities get targeted the moment there is a position of outrage.

00:08:02.000 There is so much we don't know about this.

00:08:05.000 But the perspective that is dominating the activist news cycle right now is that this must, by definition, be a racist incident.

00:08:14.000 Just another example of how America is a white supremacist country.

00:08:18.000 And I'm already starting to see the social media posts fill our Instagram feed and Twitter feed of people that are saying, you see, here's another example.

00:08:28.000 So Dante Wright was wanted for aggravated robbery.

00:08:33.000 Dante Wright fled the scene of an arrest.

00:08:37.000 So he resisted arrest.

00:08:40.000 Now, whether or not the police officer was justified in a firearm discharge, we will find out.

00:08:46.000 But the rule of these things generally goes like this.

00:08:51.000 Generally, there's a reason for a police officer's action.

00:08:55.000 I'm saying generally, I am not saying that every police officer is ever right.

00:09:00.000 But if you go through the big points of outrage, even from George Floyd last summer, here's the rule.

00:09:10.000 The more facts usually makes the situation more complicated and nuanced and less likely to warrant civilization untangling.

00:09:22.000 Let's go to cut five, crowd chanting that if Dante does not get it, shut it down.

00:09:27.000 No justice, no peace.

00:09:28.000 Cut five. 1.00

00:09:30.000 Shut it down!

00:09:45.000 Do you know what's really happening here?

00:09:47.000 That most of the activist press won't tell you?

00:09:49.000 There is a crisis of purpose in our country.

00:09:52.000 That this gives people purpose.

00:09:54.000 It makes them feel as if they are on the side of the angels.

00:09:57.000 Now, they're completely silent and quiet when it came to the Asian American Pakistani immigrant that was murdered by two young black girls in Washington, D.C. two weeks ago.

00:10:07.000 They're silent about the carnage and the casualties of what happened in Chicago over the last weekend.

00:10:14.000 But an incident that happens in the streets of Minneapolis with someone who was wanted for aggravated robbery and fled arrest, and the details remain to be seen, that's what flocks people into the streets.

00:10:24.000 This fills a gap, a chasm of purpose in our country.

00:10:29.000 It makes the activists, it makes young people in particular feel as if they are a good person because they get to be part of something bigger than themselves.

00:10:37.000 When in reality, this situation might not be as simple as they desire.

00:10:46.000 And then you have people start to take advantage of it.

00:10:49.000 You have the massive organizations like BLM Incorporated that choose intentionally to try to use a situation like this to raise more money to try and justify their narrative that pre-existed this situation.

00:11:08.000 There are videos now of rioters looting Nike stores, Walmarts, UPS stores, all throughout the streets of Minneapolis, which, by the way, hurt minority communities and minority small business owners more than anything else.

00:11:26.000 I feel the need to preempt the argument.

00:11:30.000 I am learning how all of this works.

00:11:32.000 And as soon as there is an incident that just happened in Minnesota where everything is now descending into chaos and burning, immediately we are going to have to be lectured by BLM Incorporated and their allies in the media that America is a systemically racist country and that police violence is the number one issue plaguing the black community.

00:11:54.000 So let's dive into the numbers.

00:11:56.000 Many of these numbers are thanks to Heather McDonald, the Wall Street Journal, and even the Washington Post.

00:12:02.000 Did you know black shootings by cops are down 75% in the last 50 years?

00:12:07.000 According to the Washington Post, police officers fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to the Washington Post, down from 38 and 32 in 2015.

00:12:21.000 In 2018, there were 7,407 black homicide victims.

00:12:28.000 Assuming a comparable number of victims, last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent, get this, 0.1% of all blacks killed in 2019.

00:12:38.000 That's according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:12:40.000 In 2018, blacks made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the United States and commit about 60% of robberies, even though they are only 13% of the population, according to the Wall Street Journal. 0.95

00:12:54.000 Blacks die of homicide at eight times the rate of non-Hispanic whites, overwhelmingly killed, not by cops, not by whites, but by other blacks. 0.93

00:13:02.000 That's the Center for Disease Control. 0.99

00:13:05.000 There are more black homicides in America than all white and Hispanic homicides combined. 0.99

00:13:11.000 Tragically, the vast majority are black on black crimes. 0.96

00:13:15.000 Michigan State University and the University of Maryland at College Park created a database of 917 officer-involved fatal shootings in 2015 from more than 650 police departments. 0.96

00:13:29.000 55% of deaths were white, 27% were black, and 19% were Hispanic.

00:13:35.000 There are about 1,000 fatal police shootings every single year out of 385 million police interactions a year.

00:13:44.000 Did you know that blacks only make up 25% of all fatal police encounters, even though they commit 10 times more gun violence than whites and Hispanics combined?

00:13:54.000 The rate at which white officers use force, lethal or not, directly connected to the rate of the crime, not the race of the person. 0.64

00:14:03.000 The rate that police officers shoot armed blacks is much lower than their rates of violent crime would predict.

00:14:09.000 And as of August of 2019, a study by the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences researchers found that the more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that member will be fatally shot by a police officer.

00:14:24.000 Research by black Harvard economist Roland G. Fryer Jr. found no evidence of racial discrimination in shootings across the country.

00:14:34.000 Black Harvard economist.

00:14:36.000 A 2015 Justice Department analysis of the Philadelphia Police Department found that white officers were less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects.

00:14:49.000 Black males have made 42% have made up 42% of all the cop killers over the last decade, even though they are only 6% of the nation's population.

00:14:58.000 In New York City, blacks make up 23% of the population, yet they make up 50% of all the police stops. 0.55

00:15:04.000 Some people say, well, that's racist.

00:15:06.000 That's not racial profiling.

00:15:08.000 Don't fall for the Al Sharpton trap.

00:15:11.000 According to Al Sharpton, he says it must be racist. 0.97

00:15:15.000 But blacks commit 75% of all the shootings in New York City. 0.95

00:15:19.000 And if you add Hispanics to black shootings, you account for nearly all, almost every single drive-by shooting in New York City. 0.98

00:15:26.000 So therefore, it's not about race, it's about crime. 0.86

00:15:30.000 Well, what drives crime?

00:15:31.000 Family structure and quality of education.

00:15:34.000 Just because there's a disparity does not mean you can blame discrimination for that disparity.

00:15:40.000 Thank you, Thomas Soule.

00:15:44.000 And so you are now going to be fed a non-stop flow of rubbish from the activist media for the next couple days.

00:15:54.000 It is now important that we preempt that conversation. 0.99

00:15:58.000 That a police officer is 18 and a half times more likely to be shot by a black person than a black person is to be shot and killed by a white police officer. 0.97

00:16:08.000 That is a fact.

00:16:11.000 And instead of talking about the actual issues plaguing black America or Hispanic America or urban America in general, we are now going to have to hyper-focus on Minnesota and then justify the looting, the rioting, and the arson, which is already happening, which, by the way, hurts black and minority and immigrant communities disproportionately.

00:16:32.000 One of the things that makes our program different is we're unafraid to talk about these issues from a statistical, rational, and reasonable and logical perspective.

00:16:41.000 And if this police officer acted improperly, I hope he's held accountable.

00:16:45.000 But until we have a mountain of evidence to show that, I refuse to indulge in the popular narrative.

00:16:54.000 A few decades ago, private citizens used to be that, private citizens.

00:16:58.000 What's changed?

00:16:58.000 The internet.

00:16:59.000 Think about everything you've browsed, searched, for, watched, or tweeted.

00:17:02.000 Now imagine all of that data being crawled through, collected, and aggregated by third parties into a permanent public record.

00:17:08.000 Your record.

00:17:09.000 Having your life exposed for others to see was once something only celebrities worried about.

00:17:14.000 But in an era where everyone is online, everyone is a public figure.

00:17:17.000 To keep my data private, when I go online, I always turn on ExpressVPN.

00:17:21.000 Did you know that there are hundreds of data brokers out there whose sole business is to buy and sell your data?

00:17:26.000 The worst part is they don't have to tell you who they're selling it to or get your consent.

00:17:30.000 One of the data points is your IP address.

00:17:32.000 Data harvesters use your IP address to uniquely identify you and your location.

00:17:37.000 But with ExpressVPN, my connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and my IP address is masked.

00:17:43.000 Every time I turn on ExpressVPN, I'm given a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers.

00:17:49.000 That makes it more difficult for third parties to identify me and harvest my data.

00:17:53.000 And the best part is how ExpressVPN, how easy it is to use.

00:17:56.000 No matter what device you're on, phone or laptop, maybe smart TV.

00:18:00.000 So if you like me and you believe that your data is your business, go to expressvpn.com/slash Charlie and get three extra months free.

00:18:17.000 Since last May, I have been calling Black Lives Matter BLM Incorporated.

00:18:25.000 In fact, I believe we made a positive contribution to the American political discussion because I hear more and more people calling it that because I saw it exactly for what it was from the beginning.

00:18:38.000 This was a profiteering scheme for a small group of people to go collect $500 and $700 donations from people filled with white guilt in upper middle class suburbia that have been told that they're racist and terrible to go buy the I'm a good person starter pack.

00:18:55.000 The I'm the good person starter pack is white fragility by Robin D'Angelo, the 1619 project from the New York Times, the BLM Incorporated sign, and that ridiculous yard sign I keep on seeing popping up across the country that says, this house believes love is love and immigrants are welcome and science is real.

00:19:11.000 That's the I'm a good person starter pack. 0.65

00:19:15.000 And we've been warning people about this, that this is nothing more than trying to make a small group of people wealthier while blaming you for something you did not do wrong except your immutable, unchangeable characteristics.

00:19:29.000 And then this last weekend, I chuckled because I saw exactly what I knew was happening finally be made public.

00:19:41.000 Patrice Khan Cullers, who is a co-founder of BLM Incorporated, has a real estate portfolio that would make Ted Turner jealous.

00:19:56.000 If you don't know who Ted Turner is, he is the owner of CNN, and he's technically the largest landowner in the country.

00:20:03.000 Revealed by the New York Post, Patrice Cullers has five properties in her real estate portfolio.

00:20:13.000 And they're not just little, I'm going to flip them properties.

00:20:17.000 Let's go through the list.

00:20:19.000 Patrice Cullers has just recently purchased a $1.4 million mansion in Topunga Canyon, Los Angeles.

00:20:30.000 I probably butchered that pronunciation.

00:20:32.000 I've been there. 1.00

00:20:36.000 And it's a 95% white community. 0.98

00:20:39.000 Might even be even more. 0.99

00:20:41.000 Three-bedroom, three-bath.

00:20:42.000 Oh, but it doesn't stop there.

00:20:43.000 She also owns a four-bedroom, two-bath house with a small guest house in South LA.

00:20:52.000 In addition, she owns a three-bedroom, one and a half bath home in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

00:20:59.000 So the first one's worth $1.4 million.

00:21:01.000 The second one is worth $720,000.

00:21:03.000 The third one is worth $775,000.

00:21:06.000 And the co-founder of BLM Incorporated, who is taking your donations to go basically go on a real estate buying spree as if she's running Blackstone real estate holdings.

00:21:21.000 She also owns, this is an interesting one, a three-bedroom home with an airplane hangar.

00:21:28.000 Interesting.

00:21:29.000 In Conyers, Georgia. 0.53

00:21:31.000 Now, mind you, she's not in downtown Atlanta.

00:21:34.000 She's not in Fulton County.

00:21:36.000 Well, she might be in Fulton County.

00:21:37.000 She's not in downtown Cobb County is the point.

00:21:39.000 She's not in downtown Atlanta.

00:21:41.000 No, no, no.

00:21:42.000 You see, Patrice Cullers is a very important person.

00:21:46.000 So she distances herself in a ranch-style community 30 minutes outside of Atlanta in rural Georgia.

00:21:56.000 But the real one, which is very interesting.

00:22:05.000 It's not yet confirmed that the New York Post has said that they were looking at units in New Providence, Bahamas, where units span from $5 million to $20 million.

00:22:17.000 And it says that Con Cullers and her wife were looking at units last year, but a purchase is not yet confirmed.

00:22:25.000 So for all of you that are donating to BLM Incorporated to try to see massive change occur, you're contributing to the vast real estate empire of someone who is trying to convince you that America is so systemically racist, how could black people succeed? 0.64

00:22:43.000 Oh, I'm sorry, Patrice Cullers. 0.99

00:22:44.000 You're a black activist. 0.57

00:22:47.000 She's also making the argument that there is systemic inequality at every single turn, but only in America.

00:22:54.000 Could someone who is an activist like Patrice Cullors go around selling books and speaking for thousands of dollars per appearance and raising tens of millions of dollars about how awful America is, collect a vast real estate empire of four, maybe five multi-million dollar homes?

00:23:14.000 Were you able to purchase new points of real estate this last year?

00:23:19.000 Because the lockdowns and because of the shutdown orders, maybe you own a restaurant.

00:23:24.000 Maybe you own a gymnasium, a workout gym, maybe you own A carpentry service.

00:23:31.000 Maybe you're a plumber.

00:23:32.000 Were you able to go expand your real estate empire?

00:23:35.000 No, but you've been told by Patrice Cullers, you're the problem. 0.78

00:23:38.000 Meanwhile, she's able to go do cash purchases of three-bedroom, three-bath homes plus a guest house for $1.4 million in the whitest community in Los Angeles. 0.99

00:23:52.000 The race hustling business is a very good business right now. 0.98

00:23:58.000 Trying to start a race war in America and divide us on our immutable characteristics. 1.00

00:24:02.000 To quote Lieutenant, what was his name in Glorious Bastards?

00:24:08.000 Aldo Rain.

00:24:10.000 Business is a booming if you are selling the idea that America is systemically racist.

00:24:18.000 You know the scene I'm talking about.

00:24:19.000 Lieutenant Aldo Rain.

00:24:21.000 Man, if you are Robin D'Angelo, Tahanisi Coates, by the way, Tahanisi Coates purchased a multi-million dollar property recently, too.

00:24:29.000 That should tell you everything you need to know about what's about to happen in Minneapolis.

00:24:34.000 And I said this at the end of the last segment.

00:24:36.000 Let me say it again.

00:24:37.000 If this police officer acted improperly, they should be held accountable with a jury against their peers.

00:24:43.000 That is why what is happening with Derek Chauvin, hopefully the jury pool is not impacted by what's happening in the streets of Minneapolis right now.

00:24:51.000 In fact, if I was Derek Chauvin's lawyer, lawyers, or legal team, I would call for this jury to be sequestered and maybe even the location to be changed.

00:25:00.000 Because I don't know how you could have a fair jury when people are marching through the streets demanding a certain outcome, burning stores and looting stores.

00:25:09.000 And I always get a chuckle out of that.

00:25:11.000 Nothing says racial justice like going and stealing a 600 pair of Nikes. 0.79

00:25:21.000 And we are now seeing who's actually behind this.

00:25:27.000 And I sure hope if you're listening to this, decent Americans, those of you that are in the middle class of our country, I sometimes call it the muscular class, and the muscular class are plumbers, electricians, and welders, and police officers, and firefighters.

00:25:42.000 Quite honestly, the vast majority of New Yorkers are in the muscular class.

00:25:47.000 I sure hope that you start to stand up against this nonsense of BLM Incorporated because it is a business scheme.

00:25:55.000 And I actually believe that this is how their legitimacy is truly going to be broken.

00:26:02.000 Through the massive real estate purchases, through the taking donations from well-meaning Americans and corporations.

00:26:13.000 We'll get to the corporations in a second.

00:26:15.000 And living a life of luxury.

00:26:18.000 Now, while BLM Incorporated is buying properties across the country, New York is passing a bill.

00:26:30.000 In fact, it looks like they're going to pass a bill that illegals in the state of New York are eligible to up to $15,600 in one-time payments.

00:26:43.000 That foreign nationals illegally domiciled in New York are now eligible to $15,600 payments.

00:26:52.000 Up to 200,000 illegal aliens are eligible to this.

00:26:58.000 However, homeless veterans in the state of New York are not eligible for that program.

00:27:05.000 So, according to Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio, foreign nationals take preference over our nation heroes and homeless veterans.

00:27:18.000 I'm reading from Breitbart.com.

00:27:20.000 Illegal aliens who will be eligible for the one-time payments could receive up to $15,600, the equivalent of $300 a week for one year.

00:27:29.000 The aid to illegal aliens is $1.1 billion more in funding than tax credits and grants authorized for New York small businesses in the budget.

00:27:38.000 So in the state of New York, the preference, the focus of Andrew Cuomo and the lawmakers is not small businesses.

00:27:49.000 It's not people that run restaurants or people that are the backbone of business in the great city of New York. 0.93

00:27:56.000 Instead, the focus is on foreign nationals, people that broke the law to be here and broke the law to stay here. 0.94

00:27:56.000 No. 0.94

00:28:05.000 Breitbart.com continues by saying, the payments are also one of the largest funded programs in the New York budget.

00:28:10.000 For example, the emergency rental assistance program is receiving just $300 million more than the illegal alien fund, while homeowner assistance is being funded to the tune of $600 million, about $1.5 million less than the illegal alien fund.

00:28:27.000 I've spent a lot of time in New York.

00:28:28.000 I love the city of New York and I love the people of New York.

00:28:32.000 I know the people in New York are not going to put up with this nonsense any longer.

00:28:36.000 I believe firmly that the people of New York are actually politically moderate.

00:28:41.000 I do.

00:28:42.000 And I think that they've been misrepresented by their leaders.

00:28:46.000 I think in Long Island in particular, upstate New York, the people of New York are hardworking, American-loving people. 0.94

00:28:53.000 And this garbage that is being peddled by Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio is going to have a price. 0.53

00:29:01.000 And that's why my friend Congressman Lee Zeldin is running for governor in New York. 0.98

00:29:05.000 I'm just saying he's running.

00:29:05.000 I'm not endorsing.

00:29:07.000 I think he's going to have a lot of success.

00:29:10.000 New York City is a uniquely American city.

00:29:14.000 It was really the hub of commerce and culture in colonial America.

00:29:20.000 And it has now become this radical, liberal, postmodern petri dish where the most outrageous, extreme, out-of-the-ordinary ideas and policies are being implemented.

00:29:36.000 And if you're listening to this on the great WABC, I sure hope that a response is brewing amongst the decent people in New York.

00:29:47.000 That $15,600 will be given to illegal aliens, but not homeless veterans.

00:29:54.000 That $15,000, by these are cash payments.

00:29:56.000 These are not tax credits.

00:29:57.000 These are not welfare.

00:29:58.000 This is cash funded by you.

00:30:01.000 Meanwhile, taxes are being raised on New York small businesses, being crushed.

00:30:08.000 Insofar elections continue to exist in the state of New York.

00:30:13.000 I sure hope you never forget this policy measure.

00:30:16.000 Passed, by the way, by a corrupt and morally questionable governor of Andrew Cuomo.

00:30:21.000 Isn't it interesting how he's been able to escape that scandal?

00:30:26.000 That's going to be a recurring theme that we're going to cover this week in the weeks to come here on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:31:41.000 We're still learning a lot more of what's happening in Minnesota.

00:31:46.000 And that's the way this should work, isn't it?

00:31:49.000 The way it should work is we should get all the information, witnesses, testimony.

00:31:54.000 Did he resist arrest?

00:31:56.000 Did he have a weapon on him?

00:31:57.000 Did he maybe fire at a police officer when he was driving away?

00:32:00.000 We don't know that.

00:32:00.000 Was he trying to run a police officer over with his car?

00:32:03.000 These are all things that are more than possible.

00:32:08.000 There are scenarios that could have unfolded.

00:32:12.000 But the burn first, ask questions, later mentality and the justification of the rioting and the looting is societally unacceptable to me.

00:32:26.000 It's totally unacceptable.

00:32:28.000 I was reading one of the newsletters this morning and I was chuckling in the way they cover this.

00:32:33.000 Unrest unfolds.

00:32:35.000 Really, that's how you cover this?

00:32:36.000 Unrest.

00:32:38.000 So you have people looting Nike stores, looting UPS stores, looting small businesses.

00:32:45.000 And somehow we're supposed to say, well, that's unrest.

00:32:47.000 They're really angry.

00:32:49.000 It's the justification of massive lawlessness.

00:32:53.000 The Founding Fathers wrote extensively about law enforcement.

00:33:00.000 Two things are most important when it comes to the enforcement of laws in our country: equal protection and due process.

00:33:07.000 Those are the two things the Founding Fathers wrote about the most in the Constitution and in the Federalist Papers.

00:33:12.000 And so to be deprived of money, property, or freedom, you must make the case.

00:33:20.000 And so what's happening right now is the activists in the streets, they are trying to deprive this police officer or an entire police department, or even worse, an entire system of policing without knowing even what has happened.

00:33:34.000 They are assuming.

00:33:36.000 They are assuming that because the victim was black, and by the way, we don't even know if the police officer was black or not.

00:33:42.000 We don't.

00:33:43.000 We don't even know if the police officer was Hispanic.

00:33:46.000 Now, you remember with the Trayvon Martin case?

00:33:49.000 The New York Times made up a new case, a new term for George Zimmerman.

00:33:53.000 They called him a white Hispanic.

00:33:55.000 Do you remember that?

00:33:57.000 I'm a big believer that the Trayvon Martin case was the testing ground for all of this, where they learned what worked and what didn't work.

00:34:05.000 They started to get into the hyper-racialization of American politics.

00:34:10.000 Do we have the tape of Barack Obama from that?

00:34:12.000 Of that little boy could have been my son.

00:34:14.000 Is that what the tape we have here?

00:34:15.000 Play tape.

00:34:16.000 But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin.

00:34:23.000 You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon.

00:34:26.000 You remember that whole situation that unfolded?

00:34:30.000 And then more and more evidence started to come out that the narrative wasn't what it seemed.

00:34:35.000 Remember Michael Brown in Missouri?

00:34:37.000 Hands up, don't shoot, which is a pathological lie.

00:34:42.000 This sort of racial tension has been deliberate.

00:34:46.000 It has been concocted. 0.92

00:34:48.000 It has been planned.

00:34:50.000 And now people are profiting from it.

00:34:51.000 As we went through, Patrice Khan Colors has an entire real estate empire to show for it.

00:34:57.000 Robin D'Angelo, if you go to the Amazon best-selling books over the last year, I think Robin D'Angelo's white fragility was number three of all Amazon best-selling books over the last year.

00:35:08.000 Taha Nisi Coat's right up there. 0.94

00:35:10.000 Race baiting sells. 1.00

00:35:12.000 It's a lucrative business to be in. 0.98

00:35:15.000 So, here's an important question.

00:35:16.000 If people get rich by dividing America, if people get rich by racially turning us against each other, then wouldn't they sometimes go try to find that conflict where it doesn't exist?

00:35:31.000 Because they make money off of it.

00:35:33.000 That's their business.

00:35:34.000 Their business is now to swoop into Minneapolis and cause discord, chaos, raise money, send out email solicitations.

00:35:42.000 I guarantee you, because I'm subscribed to their email list, blacklivesmatter.net, which by the way, has no address, no 990, no EIN employer identification number.

00:35:51.000 I guarantee you, I'm going to get an email from them today, and I'll share it with you another one that we can't accept.

00:35:57.000 Please donate right now through this portal, Act Blue.

00:36:00.000 And they'll raise tens of millions of dollars.

00:36:03.000 This is a business for them.

00:36:06.000 Their business is not providing food or dry cleaning or transportation.

00:36:12.000 Their business is making us hate each other.

00:36:15.000 They need to be called out for that because that is a despicable industry to be in.

00:36:20.000 So I'm going to get to some more sound if we haven't played all of it yet of what's actually happening on the ground here.

00:36:27.000 And so let's get some of the sound lined up here.

00:36:29.000 Have we played cut four of the mother of Dante right?

00:36:34.000 Okay, let's play cut four, please.

00:36:36.000 Then I heard the police officer come to the window and say, put the phone down and get out of the car.

00:36:41.000 And Dante said, why?

00:36:43.000 And he said, we'll explain to you when you get out of the car.

00:36:46.000 So I heard the phone get either put on the dashboard or dropped.

00:36:50.000 And I heard scuffling.

00:36:52.000 And I heard the police officer say, Dante, don't run.

00:36:54.000 And then the other officer said, put the phone down and hung it up.

00:37:00.000 And then two, like a minute later, I called and his girlfriend answered, but she's the passenger in the car and said that he'd been shot.

00:37:07.000 Not a lot there that's decipherable, but I think she's saying that she was describing the phone call with her son as he was pulled over and why he resisted arrest.

00:37:16.000 That's a question that needs answering.

00:37:18.000 Police are calling the firearm discharge an accidental discharge.

00:37:23.000 Is that right?

00:37:25.000 I'm sure that's going to be met with plenty of controversy, and the facts will bear that out.

00:37:30.000 But who's actually behind a lot of the BLM Incorporated activity in our country?

00:37:36.000 Who's behind a lot of the unrest?

00:37:40.000 Well, Nike, who interestingly had their store looted last night, they sent $40 million to BLM Incorporated, and then they get their store looted.

00:37:53.000 There's a provision of the United States Constitution called Article 5.

00:37:59.000 I'm a big fan of Article 5.

00:38:01.000 It talks about the Convention of the States.

00:38:04.000 I have endorsed the Convention of the States.

00:38:06.000 I think it's unrealistic, but it's a good program to get behind in theory.

00:38:13.000 It's where the states will have a coalition or a meeting to try and draw back the power of the federal government.

00:38:20.000 It says this in Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution.

00:38:22.000 The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution or on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states.

00:38:33.000 So if two-thirds of states agrees, then shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which in either case shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of several states or by conventions and three-fourths thereof.

00:38:52.000 As one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by Congress.

00:38:56.000 So there is a convention of states that is possible.

00:39:00.000 But what if I told you that the people that are actually behind what's happening in Minneapolis are having their own constitution?

00:39:09.000 From CBS News, first of its kind meeting draws more than 100 corporate leaders to discuss state voting laws.

00:39:20.000 This guy, Jeffrey Sonefeld, who's just impossible.

00:39:26.000 I've been on email chains with him before.

00:39:27.000 I've seen some of the stuff he said.

00:39:29.000 I don't know if he's a good person or not.

00:39:30.000 He's just impossible to reason with.

00:39:33.000 Is praising this, and he's a far left-winger because the left now knows they control the corporations like they control the campuses.

00:39:41.000 100 corporate leaders had their own corporate convention, similar to what a constitutional convention would be.

00:39:51.000 Who's in charge of our country?

00:39:54.000 Well, it certainly isn't the way it should be.

00:39:57.000 It's not the states or the people.

00:39:59.000 Instead, it says this: in wake of Georgia's new law, Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola, and Aflac Insurance, among other companies based in the Peach State, spoke out in opposition to the law.

00:40:11.000 Republican leaders, including former President Trump, have in turn called for boycotts of the companies for speaking out.

00:40:17.000 Liberal organizations, civil rights groups, and some Democratic Party leaders have said firms that don't speak out forcefully enough or the passage of the law, a move they argue might have stopped the passage of the law.

00:40:30.000 So there was a, not a constitutional convention this last weekend.

00:40:33.000 No, no, no, a corporate convention of 100 corporate leaders.

00:40:40.000 People that are in charge of massive corporations colluding and meeting, saying very clearly that, don't you understand, Georgia legislature, you don't have the power.

00:40:52.000 We have the power.

00:40:54.000 Attendees include Arthur Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons, James Murdoch and his wife, Catherine Hushmid, Adam Aaron, CEO, CEO of AMC Theaters.

00:41:07.000 By the way, you could put down a list of all the companies you shouldn't use anymore.

00:41:10.000 Brad Karp, chairman of the law firm Paul Weiss, Melody Hobson, CEO of Ariel Investments, Doug McMillan, CEO of Walmart.

00:41:18.000 Walmart is the worst on this, by the way.

00:41:20.000 Walmart is, and we'll get into that.

00:41:24.000 Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines.

00:41:27.000 Doug Parker, CEO of American Airlines.

00:41:29.000 Chip Berg, chairman of Levi Strauss.

00:41:31.000 Reid Hoffman, CEO of LinkedIn. 0.98

00:41:33.000 Reid Hoffman is awful.

00:41:35.000 Mary Berra, CEO of General Motors. 0.98

00:41:39.000 Ed Bastion, CEO of Delta Airlines, who is as weak as it gets.

00:41:46.000 Says here, Jeffrey Sonefeld, who's a lawyer, he's a law professor at Yale.

00:41:53.000 I don't understand what he's trying to.

00:41:57.000 He organized the confab.

00:41:59.000 I don't understand what he's trying to do here.

00:42:02.000 It's really creepy, actually.

00:42:05.000 This is fascism.

00:42:06.000 It is 100% fascism.

00:42:09.000 And I'll prove it to you.

00:42:12.000 Sonnefeld says, we invited 120 CEOs without 50 hours' notice.

00:42:16.000 We were praying for 25.

00:42:18.000 We got 90 CEOs and another 30 invited guests, including legal experts, technology experts, and historians.

00:42:24.000 In addition to Sonnefeld, the meeting was organized by Lynn Forrester de Rothschild, the founding partner of Inclusive Capitalism LLC, Leadership Now, a group of Harvard alumni focused on sustaining democracy.

00:42:38.000 It's unbelievable.

00:42:41.000 You have the most powerful people in the country that are meeting in their free time because they're worried that you have too much power.

00:42:47.000 They're worried that elections might be fair and free again.

00:42:51.000 They are worried that they might actually be exposed as overseeing America, the colony.

00:43:05.000 What do fascists believe?

00:43:08.000 They believe that representative government is obsolete and regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for some form of a conflict.

00:43:23.000 A fascist state is led by a strong leader, such as a dictator and martial law government.

00:43:28.000 But instead of a dictator, you just have a hundred companies that are calling the shots.

00:43:32.000 Fascists reject assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views imperialism, political violence, and war as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.

00:43:47.000 They're justifying the riots in the streets.

00:43:50.000 And have any of the CEOs, by the way, any of these anti-American leaders, like the head of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman, or Levi Strauss, how many American jobs has Levi Strauss killed, by the way, so you can have jeans made in China, an American product that could have been made in Ohio, but he decided to go make it in Wuhan.

00:44:09.000 Spare me the lecture, Chipberg.

00:44:12.000 Have any of them spoken out about the arson or the looting or the rot or the protest?

00:44:17.000 They call it the protests, or how about the terrorist activity, which it is in Minnesota?

00:44:21.000 Of course not.

00:44:24.000 Look, no one likes going to the post office.

00:45:36.000 The video, the body cam footage has been released.

00:45:39.000 It turns that the officer seems to have accidentally discharged her weapon.

00:45:44.000 It was a female police officer.

00:45:47.000 And you could tell in the video, she says, oh no, I shot him.

00:45:52.000 Basically, the altercation is in the video.

00:45:56.000 And the Dante Wright was fleeing arrest.

00:46:01.000 And he was wanted already for aggravated robbery.

00:46:03.000 Why they weren't able to find him since February is beyond me.

00:46:06.000 And watch the video for yourself, and I'll narrate it for video.

00:46:09.000 Keep my mic on, please.

00:46:10.000 Okay?

00:46:10.000 Play tape.

00:46:15.000 So that's Dante Wright.

00:46:18.000 He is fleeing arrest, goes back in his car.

00:46:26.000 And it looks as if the police officer has her weapon out and had her weapon out, very close proximity to Dante Wright as a way to try to restrain him.

00:46:41.000 And it seems as if it was an accidental firearm discharge.

00:46:44.000 And it said on her own body cam, bleep, I shot him.

00:46:48.000 Okay, we're going to watch it.

00:46:49.000 Play tape, please.

00:46:50.000 So here's Dante Wright in the denim who is being arrested.

00:46:56.000 Now, remember, he's wanted for aggravated robbery.

00:46:58.000 He escapes the cuffs and goes back into his car.

00:47:02.000 That's what I'm looking at, right?

00:47:04.000 Goes back into his car against arrest, resisting arrest.

00:47:09.000 So it wasn't just a random person walking down the street.

00:47:12.000 It wasn't just because it was a random black person walking down the street.

00:47:16.000 The officers right here are having a struggle and a tussle.

00:47:23.000 Dante Wright is trying to drive away.

00:47:26.000 Remember, he's wanted for aggravated robbery.

00:47:29.000 And then a police officer, as you see right here, a woman pulls out her firearm to try and, I'm guessing, to try and tell him to get out of the car because he might get violent.

00:47:44.000 And then her firearm discharges as he drives away, resulting in a car crash.

00:47:52.000 And I think it's right there her firearm discharges.

00:47:56.000 Whether it was intentional or not remains to be seen.

00:48:00.000 And she's pointing the firearm at the Dante Wright.

00:48:06.000 He drives off here in a couple of moments here.

00:48:09.000 Or was it a taser?

00:48:10.000 I don't think it was a taser.

00:48:11.000 It's a firearm.

00:48:12.000 What are you talking about?

00:48:14.000 And so she was saying taser, taser, taser, and it drives out.

00:48:18.000 Then she turns to the other black police officer and she says, oh no, I think I shot him.

00:48:24.000 That's it.

00:48:27.000 And so the narrative was that he was just minding his own business and the police officers came through him, came to him and did something wrong.

00:48:35.000 That's not true.

00:48:37.000 The reality is that he was wanted for aggravated robbery.

00:48:42.000 He resisted arrest.

00:48:44.000 He gets into the car.

00:48:45.000 He continues to resist police officers.

00:48:48.000 And a woman police officer pulls out her firearm, accidentally pulls off her firearm when she wanted to pull out the taser.

00:48:58.000 And a bullet discharges and he ends up crashing the car.

00:49:05.000 He was wanted for robbery.

00:49:07.000 He shouldn't have resisted arrest. 0.89

00:49:08.000 The woman should have been in better charge of the situation, the female police officer.

00:49:14.000 And this incident has an outcome that I don't think anyone wanted.

00:49:18.000 Is that a police officer that is targeting someone just because of the color of their skin?

00:49:22.000 Or instead, she's in the heat of the moment trying to make the right decision of someone who's deciding to go resist arrest and put a crime on top of a crime.

00:49:31.000 Those are the facts of the situation.

00:49:34.000 Please share those facts with your friends now as our entire civilization is going to go through another unraveling.

00:49:41.000 Okay, I got a better understanding of what's happened out of Minneapolis.

00:49:44.000 You have a guy that's wanted for aggravated robbery, an alleged criminal, Dante Wright.

00:49:49.000 And by the way, if you just look at some of the footage of him online, let's just, just to get a little nuance.

00:49:54.000 And I only do this because after Trayvon Martin, we had to look at the same picture of what looked to be like an innocent eight-year-old that somehow got slaughtered in the street.

00:50:02.000 And we know none of that is true.

00:50:04.000 And George Zimmerman got acquitted.

00:50:06.000 Same thing with Michael Brown.

00:50:07.000 And I'm not saying he deserved to die, but I'm also adding just a fact pattern so you understand exactly what we're dealing with here.

00:50:14.000 Just look at this picture right here.

00:50:15.000 There's no sound here, but this is Dante Wright right here, play tape, of him with a firearm, gesturing the firearm straight to himself and to the iPhone or whatever it is, singing some sort of rap song.

00:50:31.000 Not exactly what I would consider to be normal pedestrian activity for a 20-year-old.

00:50:36.000 However, you could go to your own conclusions there.

00:50:39.000 And so just want to make that very clear.

00:50:40.000 So here's what happened.

00:50:41.000 And I finally have an understanding of this.

00:50:43.000 And the stuff's unraveling in real time.

00:50:45.000 Dante Wright, wanted for aggravated robbery, alleged criminal, gets pulled over for expired tags.

00:50:51.000 They're cuffing him.

00:50:52.000 A black police officer is cuffing him. 0.95

00:50:56.000 A woman police officer is helping cuff him.

00:50:58.000 He breaks out of the cuffs, goes back into his car.

00:51:02.000 They're trying to cuff him again, and it's being said, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser.

00:51:08.000 The woman then grabs her firearm, not the taser, and points it at Dante Wright, thinking she has a firearm.

00:51:17.000 How you make that mistake, I'm not exactly sure, but mistakes happen all the time, especially in high-pressure environments.

00:51:25.000 And if you've never been in a high-pressure environment like that, you have no standing to make a case, she fires a bullet, Dante Reif Wright speeds off.

00:51:35.000 Now, let me state the obvious.

00:51:37.000 If Dante Wright does not resist arrest, Dante Wright is alive right now.

00:51:42.000 I am not saying he deserved to die.

00:51:44.000 That is not what I'm saying.

00:51:46.000 But that is a necessary prerequisite of a fact that is going to be ignored by all the activist press.

00:51:52.000 In fact, I think Apple News is helping destroy America.

00:51:55.000 I really am.

00:51:56.000 I think Apple News is one of the most manipulative, manipulative, and quite honestly, less talked about.

00:52:02.000 Thanks.

00:52:02.000 Okay.

00:52:03.000 From Mike six minutes ago, Minneapolis police killed 20-year-old Dante Wright as a traffic stop, sparking new outrage.

00:52:11.000 I'm getting one after the other after the other of these alerts.

00:52:16.000 Here's CNN this morning.

00:52:18.000 Protests in Minnesota after police shot man.

00:52:22.000 Well, that's not the whole story.

00:52:23.000 The whole story is he tried to resist arrest and he had a warrant out for his arrest for aggravated robbery.

00:52:28.000 Get your facts right.

00:52:30.000 All right, so we have some tape here to play.

00:52:34.000 And honestly, it boils down to this.

00:52:36.000 And if you don't want to get killed by a police officer, then don't resist arrest.

00:52:40.000 I'm not saying you deserve it, but here's what I am saying.

00:52:44.000 When you get into a point of tension, when you get into a point of a what's the best word for this?

00:52:51.000 A conflict, a quarrel, a brawl.

00:52:55.000 That's the better word.

00:52:56.000 If you start brawling with police officers and all of a sudden something happens that's not supposed to happen, then the necessary question should be asked, why was Dante Wright running away from police?

00:53:08.000 All right, let's go to Cut 25.

00:53:11.000 I think it's Cut 25.

00:53:12.000 No, We'll get to that in a second. 1.00

00:53:15.000 This guy's a moron. 1.00

00:53:17.000 This guy's not a moron. 1.00

00:53:18.000 Cut 24, police chief Tim Gammon, who says, it's my belief that this officer had the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot Mr. Wright. 0.90

00:53:27.000 Cut 24.

00:53:28.000 As I watch the video and listen to the officer's commands, it is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet.

00:53:40.000 This appears to me from what I viewed and the officer's reaction and distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of Mr. Wright.

00:53:51.000 I have asked the BCA to conduct an independent investigation into the shooting and death.

00:53:56.000 Once they are completed, I expect they will submit their findings, independent of me, to the appropriate authorities, the appropriate attorneys that will look and review this case.

00:54:05.000 If he didn't flee arrest, he would still be alive today.

00:54:10.000 Media matters.

00:54:10.000 I know you're watching.

00:54:11.000 I'm not saying he deserved to die.

00:54:12.000 That's not what I'm saying.

00:54:14.000 But that's a fact.

00:54:15.000 If he just would have went into the police car, similar to George Floyd, if George Floyd wouldn't have made a whole stick about it, again, not saying he deserved to die.

00:54:24.000 Again, you're able to make a mature argument about a fact pattern of multiple inputs for a less than desirable output.

00:54:31.000 But this is going to be blamed solely and completely on this woman police officer who, quite honestly, got flustered.

00:54:37.000 Too much pressure.

00:54:38.000 Couldn't handle it.

00:54:39.000 Not ready for prime time.

00:54:40.000 Grabbed a gun instead of a taser.

00:54:42.000 Shouldn't have been in that situation. 1.00

00:54:43.000 I'm not saying women shouldn't be in police officers.

00:54:45.000 That's not what I'm saying. 1.00

00:54:46.000 I'm saying this woman should not have been a police officer.

00:54:49.000 Not that she's racist. 0.99

00:54:50.000 Not that she's bigoted.

00:54:51.000 Not that she has deep-seated resentments.

00:54:53.000 No.

00:54:54.000 Instead, she couldn't handle it.

00:54:55.000 It's too much for the situation.

00:54:57.000 She got to pull out her gun when it should have been a taser.

00:55:00.000 I am sorry she was in that situation for her and everyone else around her, including Dante Wright.

00:55:06.000 So let's play tape here of how BLM Incorporated activists are responding to this.

00:55:11.000 Cut 25.

00:55:14.000 They are chanting murder.

00:55:27.000 Murder!

00:55:33.000 So they're already saying it's murder.

00:55:35.000 So if you're in Minneapolis right now, please protect yourself tonight.

00:55:39.000 Get your family out of harm's way.

00:55:41.000 I hate to say this, by the way, this is going to spread to every city across the country, likely.

00:55:45.000 I can't predict that for sure, but it's likely going to pop up in LA because people need purpose.

00:55:50.000 They're locked down.

00:55:51.000 And you're going to see Joe Biden weigh in on this.

00:55:53.000 And you're going to see all this is now, this is again, this is going to be a distraction issue, right?

00:55:58.000 This is a Houdini trick done by our ruling class, smokescreen.

00:56:01.000 It's a mirage to not you actually to have you not care about the issues that actually matter.

00:56:06.000 Okay, let's go to stud 26.

00:56:11.000 Now that's about George Floyd.

00:56:12.000 I'm still not quite understanding the connection here, but essentially the prosecution use of force expert agreed that Officer Chauvin should have used a stun gun or a taser on George Floyd, but chose the lesser force.

00:56:26.000 And so let's go to cut 26.

00:56:30.000 According to the model, the use of force continuum, Officer Chauvin, theoretically, based on what he saw, active resistance, he could have come up and dry stoned them or tased them.

00:56:43.000 That would be within the act of resistance, struggling use of force continuum.

00:56:49.000 Yes.

00:56:51.000 So basically, here's how it all ties together.

00:56:53.000 In Minneapolis, you have a new order that says use tasers instead of use of force.

00:56:59.000 Is that right? 1.00

00:57:00.000 Which is why this woman is trying to go grab her taser and she just wasn't ready for prime time. 1.00

00:57:06.000 Let's go to cut.

00:57:08.000 Do we have any other cuts here that we haven't yet played?

00:57:12.000 We're still loading those ones up.

00:57:15.000 And so I understand that there's confusion around situations like this.

00:57:19.000 It's already 24 hours.

00:57:22.000 And the activists are calling it murder already, even though it wasn't, obviously.

00:57:27.000 You can see that and the reaction from that.

00:57:30.000 This is the Brooklyn Center city manager, Kurt Bogany, says the officer who shot Dante Wright will get due process.

00:57:40.000 And here we go.

00:57:41.000 Play tape profiling that happened in this situation.

00:57:45.000 We are standing in solidarity and calling for the firing of this officer.

00:57:49.000 You have talked about her having due process, although Dante Wright did not get due process in that situation.

00:57:56.000 She needs to be fired immediately to send a message that this type of behavior will not be condoned within the city of Brooklyn Center.

00:58:03.000 Thank you.

00:58:04.000 I appreciate those comments.

00:58:06.000 All employees working for the city of Brooklyn Center are entitled to due process with respect to discipline.

00:58:14.000 This employee will receive due process.

00:58:17.000 And that's really all that I can say today.

00:58:21.000 So look, he did get due process.

00:58:25.000 You know, due process he got when he was peacefully being put in handcuffs because he was wanted for aggregate, aggravated robbery.

00:58:31.000 That's due process, isn't it?

00:58:33.000 He resisted arrest.

00:58:35.000 Dante Wright decided to go take the law in his own hands.

00:58:37.000 Dante Wright created this situation.

00:58:39.000 Dante Wright created a situation of chaos.

00:58:42.000 Dante Wright decided to go be a vigilante.

00:58:45.000 Dante Wright decided to go run away.

00:58:47.000 That was on Dante Wright.

00:58:49.000 What happened after that?

00:58:50.000 Once chaos begins, it shouldn't have ended this way.

00:58:58.000 That we can agree with. 0.89

00:59:00.000 But don't act as if Dante Wright was a poor college student walking the streets with a textbook in one hand and a police officer pulled over and said, hey, let's go after that black guy right now and shake him down.

00:59:14.000 No, Dante Wright was a criminal.

00:59:17.000 Dante Wright was wanted for aggravated robbery.

00:59:21.000 Dante Wright was being put in handcuffs.

00:59:23.000 You could see he broke free of it.

00:59:26.000 This is probably a good rule of thumb.

00:59:28.000 Don't resist arrest.

00:59:29.000 It's probably a good rule.

00:59:32.000 And you know what people say is, well, we need non-lethal weapons like tasers.

00:59:35.000 Well, the officer had one.

00:59:36.000 She was trying to grab for the taser, and she didn't.

00:59:42.000 So I agree.

00:59:43.000 We need better police officers, obviously, but here's the reality of the situation.

00:59:47.000 You want to know something?

00:59:48.000 It's called the law of averages.

00:59:50.000 When you have 385 million police encounters every single year, you're going to have a couple people mess up and screw up.

00:59:57.000 That's called life.

00:59:58.000 You're going to have a couple chauffeurs that get into car accidents.

01:00:02.000 You're going to have a couple firefighters that don't know what they're doing.

01:00:04.000 You're going to have a couple doctors that commit medical malpractice.

01:00:07.000 And yes, you're going to have a couple police officers that confuse a firearm with a taser.

01:00:12.000 That's not murder.

01:00:14.000 That's called incompetency.

01:00:16.000 And here's the problem. 1.00

01:00:18.000 This young woman police officer is now going to have her life ruined.

01:00:23.000 In the court of law, something actually matters, and it's a word we don't talk about enough.

01:00:29.000 You know what that word is?

01:00:30.000 Intent.

01:00:32.000 What was the intent of that young woman? 1.00

01:00:34.000 That young female police officer who's now going to have her life torn to shreds by self-righteous activists that don't care about black on black crime. 1.00

01:00:42.000 They don't care about black fatherlessness. 0.99

01:00:44.000 They don't care about any of the actual problems in our country. 0.97

01:00:46.000 No, they're going to want to destroy this young woman's life who made a mistake.

01:00:50.000 Now, I would sympathize with the activist argument if this young woman police officer randomly decided to go after Dante Wright and Dante Wright was a A-plus student walking the streets.

01:01:03.000 No, Not so fast, my friend, as Lee Corso would say on a beautiful Saturday morning in college football.

01:01:09.000 Not so fast, my friend.

01:01:13.000 This situation with Dante Wright was avoidable and preventable with one person, Dante Wright.

01:01:20.000 You know it's a crime to resist arrest?

01:01:22.000 We have evidence of that.

01:01:23.000 He decided to be a criminal that day.

01:01:25.000 Dante Wright decided to be bigger than the law.

01:01:28.000 He thought he was better than police officers.

01:01:33.000 And if Dante Wright would have just allowed the system to unfold, Dante Wright probably would have been released on bail because they got rid of bail anyway in Minnesota.

01:01:40.000 He'd be walking the streets right now.

01:01:42.000 He probably would have served a couple months in prison because of all the reduced sentences.

01:01:45.000 But no, Dante Wright thought he was above the law.

01:01:48.000 Now, what would get into Dante Wright's head that would make him think he could do that?

01:01:53.000 Well, maybe all the anti-police narrative over the last year.

01:01:55.000 Maybe it's the police are your enemy.

01:01:57.000 Run away from the police.

01:01:58.000 Instead of, hey, take responsibility for your actions, Dante Wright.

01:02:01.000 Why are you wanted for aggravated robbery back in February?

01:02:06.000 What else have you been doing?

01:02:07.000 Why are you posting selfie videos of you smoking a blunt with a firearm being pointed at the camera?

01:02:14.000 That's a good question, but no one's going to ask it.

01:02:16.000 We will.

01:02:17.000 Let me ask you a question.

01:02:18.000 When you cut funding to police, do you think they're more likely to get training to make the right decisions or the wrong decisions?

01:02:25.000 When Minneapolis decides to cut funding for their police department, do you think that police officers are getting more training or less training?

01:02:35.000 So in a push to try to defund the police, you're going to get more police errors, not more correct police conduct.

01:02:43.000 There's a direct correlation between defunding the police and then police officers making mistakes.

01:02:49.000 Not getting as much funding, not as much supervision.

01:02:53.000 They also have a less of a talent pool to pull from because less people want to become police officers.

01:02:59.000 So now this young woman, my heart goes out for her.

01:03:02.000 And I'm going to say that publicly.

01:03:03.000 I don't care who writes out.

01:03:05.000 I don't care.

01:03:05.000 It's a mistake and it's an accident.

01:03:07.000 I'll defend it against anyone.

01:03:08.000 She's not a murderer. 0.61

01:03:10.000 She made a mistake in a pressure-filled environment.

01:03:12.000 She never should have been a police officer.

01:03:14.000 She should have just been a paper pusher.

01:03:16.000 She was not ready for prime time.

01:03:18.000 She wasn't.

01:03:18.000 I mean, if you confuse a gun with a taser, give me a break.

01:03:20.000 Okay.

01:03:21.000 Like, let's just...

01:03:22.000 Let's just be very honest about it.

01:03:23.000 That's okay.

01:03:24.000 She's not.

01:03:26.000 I don't know her intentions.

01:03:27.000 I don't know her values.

01:03:28.000 I feel sorry for her.

01:03:29.000 I do. 0.96

01:03:30.000 Because now she's going to have her life completely ruined. 0.69

01:03:32.000 And now the people are going to say, screw her life. 0.97

01:03:34.000 She deserves it because he's dead. 0.99

01:03:36.000 Okay, hold on a second. 0.93

01:03:38.000 Dante Wright was a criminal who resisted arrest.

01:03:41.000 Fact. 0.75

01:03:44.000 And so this woman, not ready for prime time, this woman police officer pulls out a gun when it should have been a taser. 0.86

01:03:51.000 Pretty big difference. 1.00

01:03:52.000 Two different weights, two different sides of your body. 0.90

01:03:55.000 And she was visibly shaking, dropped the gun, and was just hysterical after she did it.

01:04:03.000 Not exactly a cold-blooded killer, but the left is not going to care.

01:04:07.000 So here's what they're going to do.

01:04:09.000 They are now going to turn this into a broader argument to defund all police across the country. 0.93

01:04:14.000 They're even going to go as far to say that white women are the problem in white supremacy. 0.96

01:04:18.000 I guarantee it. 1.00

01:04:19.000 And unfortunately, a lot of people are going to buy that garbage.

01:04:21.000 And then they're going to, Robin D'Angelo's book is about to go up again on Amazon.

01:04:25.000 Tahanisi Coates' book is about to come up. 0.66

01:04:28.000 Black Lives Matter is not going to waste this opportunity to try to get right back and send her into the midst of it. 0.98

01:04:34.000 But yes, I feel sorry for this woman. 1.00

01:04:36.000 I do. 0.91

01:04:37.000 Because my faith and the Bible tells me something.

01:04:42.000 You know what that tells me?

01:04:44.000 Intentions matter.

01:04:46.000 Your heart matters.

01:04:48.000 But it's not always going to work how things actually, it goes from deliberation to choice to action, as Aristotle would say.

01:04:56.000 So your deliberation, meaning your intent, your choices then lead to your action.

01:05:01.000 Well, sometimes if you're in a pressure-filled environment, like 15 seconds, what was her intention?

01:05:07.000 What was that female officer's intention? 1.00

01:05:09.000 Was her intention to go murder a black man that morning? 0.99

01:05:12.000 Of course not. 0.99

01:05:12.000 Give me a break. 0.99

01:05:13.000 It's not even close.

01:05:14.000 Was her intention to murder anyone?

01:05:16.000 No.

01:05:16.000 In fact, her intention was to do her job and probably live another day.

01:05:21.000 Her intention was probably the opposite. 0.99

01:05:23.000 Do you think she wants this?

01:05:25.000 Of course not.

01:05:26.000 Now, what was Dante Wright's intention that day?

01:05:29.000 That's a good question.

01:05:31.000 Dante Wright's intention when he was arrested by the police was to try to run away, aka.

01:05:37.000 I don't respect you, law enforcement.

01:05:39.000 I don't respect you, police officer.

01:05:41.000 I'm going to go try to evade arrest.

01:05:44.000 So the intention of Dante Wright fleeing and trying to be a vigilante and the intention of the woman, two totally, completely different things.

01:05:53.000 That matters.

01:05:55.000 Now, the fact it was an accident is not going to distract the ideologues of the activist class to say that we should defund the police and burn down our inner cities.

01:06:03.000 I'm not sure how this one's going to develop versus the George Floyd one because the George Floyd video was so emotional and so graphic and so easily misunderstood from the outset.

01:06:14.000 But here's the one thing I can tell you as a result of this. 0.98

01:06:17.000 More black people are going to die as a result of this incident. 0.99

01:06:22.000 Not at the hands of police officers, but the hands of gangbangers and criminal thugs. 1.00

01:06:27.000 Because you know why?

01:06:28.000 The Ferguson effect is about to happen in our country, where police officers are going to say, you know what?

01:06:33.000 We get treated like this.

01:06:34.000 We were just trying to arrest a criminal in your neighborhood and he tried to flee and a woman not ready for prime time grabbed her gun instead of a taser and fired it on him and accidentally discharged it, resulting in his death.

01:06:44.000 You guys go govern yourself.

01:06:46.000 And you know what ends up happening? 1.00

01:06:47.000 More black children will be shot on the way to school. 1.00

01:06:49.000 More black people will be shot after dark. 0.99

01:06:52.000 Police officers save lives in our country. 0.98

01:06:56.000 And this situation would have been prevented.

01:06:59.000 If Dante Wright would have just gone in for booking, had a lawyer, he'd be living right now.

01:07:07.000 But instead, this is a nationwide news story by people that have an agenda.

01:07:11.000 An agenda to deconstruct our country, an agenda to turn people against each other, an agenda to hyper-racialize every single incident imaginable.

01:07:19.000 They're looking for purpose. 0.71

01:07:21.000 And their purpose leads to their profit, leads to their own enrichment.

01:07:25.000 And as long as I have breath in my lungs, I will not allow them to destroy America on a lie.
