00:01:31.820 all right so everything's fine at the border i guess yeah yeah it's it's um it's not a it's not a

00:01:43.920 human rights crisis anymore is it it's just a uh it's like a border challenge a border challenge

00:01:50.800 now yeah now would you is it a literal concentration camp oh no good golly no these are just these are

00:01:57.740 just uh migrant facilities um that happen to be jam-packed to way more than capacity yeah that's all

00:02:06.260 i was i was looking into some of this today and they're now saying they're at 300 of capacity

00:02:11.780 oh i've got facilities at 729 of capacity yeah i think that's the high certain facilities as high

00:02:18.080 as 729 capacity which is there's an important detail to to think about here is that it's 300 or

00:02:26.240 700 of pre-covid capacity so right not not social distancing everyone's six feet apart

00:02:34.000 none of that's going on at all they're jam-packing the normal capacity multiplying it by three four

00:02:40.100 five six seven and then jamming them all in there together to potentially pass covid to each other

00:02:48.720 and then release them into our society now what's fascinating about this is this is not a concern

00:02:56.560 apparently all of all the you can't get together at a school or a church or a concert or a movie

00:03:05.800 theater in so many places and yet this is somehow acceptable and not a quote-unquote literal

00:03:12.100 concentration camp i love this uh spin by uh i think this is abc news as they're talking about this

00:03:18.660 problem and they themselves said it was over 300 pre-covid capacity so they're acknowledging this issue

00:03:24.800 and then they go into to talk about what is actually happening with the virus in these facilities listen

00:03:31.220 they're coming across the border they're not being kept in any way with social distancing rules we don't

00:03:36.820 know how much covid they're spreading since you've been here on average what is the percent positive

00:03:41.500 of the people coming across from mexico let's say from the most moles that i have tested like around 1.00

00:03:47.620 116 and from those at least 30 are positive and that seems to propagate that old you know dog whistle

00:03:56.140 of hey uh you know migrants are bringing uh disease and other terrible things across the border and 1.00

00:04:01.520 that's why we need to shut them out wait a minute so you're jam-packing illegal immigrants into facilities 1.00

00:04:08.960 at up to 700 and some odd percent capacity their own people say that they have a 26 positivity rate

00:04:18.720 and this is reinforcing a dog whistle about migrants bringing disease over the border that old dog

00:04:26.680 whistle yeah that old dog whistle oh you know what we might have migrants bringing disease over the 1.00

00:04:31.100 border you just said 26 percent of them at least in this group the one you picked as an example

00:04:38.780 26 positivity in co for covid remember too central america has basically done nothing

00:04:47.080 when it comes to coronavirus this entire time i mean they just been letting it

00:04:51.040 in many in many aspects run wild in certain places and we've seen positivity rates in mexico

00:04:57.840 the entire country north of 26 up to 50 sometimes they're not even bothering to test a lot of times in

00:05:05.940 in in uh in mexico and they've had all sorts of issues down there and then you're going to open up

00:05:13.100 the border as we are coming to the end of our own covid situation and let these guys come across the

00:05:21.120 border because i think they felt bad because donald trump was mean i i think that's basically

00:05:26.980 the justification for it yeah i nancy pelosi was asked about this this is uh amazing what she says

00:05:37.340 because none of this is her fault none of this is the democrats fault none of it's biden's fault

00:05:42.020 no it's all on donald trump and she explains uh who's to blame here let's talk about the situation

00:05:48.720 at the border we've seen a huge surge in migrants crossing the border right since january the number

00:05:53.240 of children in custody higher than it was than its 2019 peak during the trump administration

00:05:58.220 your colleague verona cayesco bar of texas called the conditions there unacceptable she was there on 0.71

00:06:03.280 friday is she right what more must be done uh well i'm sorry i didn't hear who you said

00:06:09.240 veronica escobar our colleague uh from representing uh el paso and yes it is the actually the facts are

00:06:19.100 these there are more children uh about six seven hundred more children unaccompanied children

00:06:25.620 coming over the border okay the uh this is a humanitarian challenge to all of us what the

00:06:33.540 administration has inherited is a broken system at the border and they are working to correct that

00:06:39.260 in the children's interest i'm so pleased that the president as a temporary measure has sent

00:06:44.320 fema to the border in order to help facilitate the children going from one 72 hour issue into where

00:06:54.880 they are cared for as they are transferred into family homes or homes that are safe for them to

00:07:00.940 be so this again is a transition for what was wrong before uh towards right of course we have to also

00:07:08.600 look to central america and mexico and the rest the corruption the violence uh all of that so bam my

00:07:15.740 most recent trip to the northern triangle that would be all the corruption and violence el salvador you saw

00:07:22.360 the impact of the climate change mind you climate change people were leaving because of the drought

00:07:27.080 they couldn't farm that's when that just started to other ways to survive so there are many reasons

00:07:32.860 that go into this yeah but the fact is we have to deal with it at the border and many of the people

00:07:38.620 some of the people coming there are seeking asylum and i always like to quote our friends

00:07:45.520 the evangelical movement at one of our rump hearings we had before we had the majority

00:07:51.100 uh the representative said to us the united states refugee resettlement program is the crown jewel

00:08:00.220 of american humanitarianism so we have certain responsibilities oh well if somebody said it it

00:08:05.700 must be true i don't know who said that quote i can't take it anymore please stop her uh i i don't know

00:08:11.560 who said that quote but what a brilliant quote it was um that that's the crown jewel the crown jewel

00:08:18.660 being that we're the only country in the world that uh is a lot that allows just anybody who wants to

00:08:24.980 come across our border to come across our border is that the crown jewel of of american policy

00:08:30.240 apparently it is apparently just come on in we won't worry about who you are what you're doing here

00:08:35.940 we won't ask anything of you we'll just give you whatever you need i think it's important to note the

00:08:40.400 smooth presentation of information there from nancy pelosi i mean that was just a brilliant

00:08:45.500 a brilliant uh just it was a deep dive and she has the her hand on the facts at all times

00:08:54.420 i'm you know they're calling in mexico they're calling biden the migrant president

00:09:00.280 because correctly so they are sensing that there are new incentives about the trip to america which

00:09:11.040 is you're being invited and you're offered amnesty you're offered amnesty they're going to let you

00:09:15.980 off you better get here before they pass that thing yep um make sure you're you're you get in uh

00:09:20.940 beyond uh the the sort of deadlines they're going to set if because if you if you come too late

00:09:26.940 you know maybe maybe you don't get it so come right now and of course this is what people

00:09:33.200 coyotes are telling the the migrants but they're doing it accurately i mean this is real there's a 1.00

00:09:40.380 real sense of of change when it comes to the messaging towards central america and that it's now

00:09:48.140 hey come on it's time it's party time come even though we're in the middle of a pandemic just come

00:09:53.800 come now we're they're gonna let you in the the controversy will be about whether you're treated

00:09:58.900 too poorly or not that will be the controversy not whether you're supposed to be here just whether

00:10:02.820 the the treatment is good enough right and the treatment is obviously great now that biden is in

00:10:08.840 control oh it is yeah there's um at the one facility the in donna texas there were more than 1800

00:10:15.820 people uh children being held at this facility 729 as we mentioned of its capacity during the

00:10:23.480 pandemic the facility opened last month it's been operating over its pandemic capacity for weeks

00:10:29.720 uh some of the boys said that conditions were so overcrowded that that they have to take turns

00:10:37.100 sleeping on the floor they all said they wanted to shower more and were told they can't

00:10:45.720 um adding that several minors were only permitted to shower once in seven days i want to fact check on 0.99

00:10:52.220 that because teenagers never want to shower yeah that's come on let's be honest about it one of

00:10:57.480 them shared that he could only see the sun when he showered because you can see the sun through the

00:11:03.140 window uh she said many many of the children didn't have access to outside activities and were visibly

00:11:10.060 emotionally emotional they were hysterically crying wanting to talk to their families not being allowed to

00:11:17.280 well this is the thing this is the brilliance and and the the wonderful sweetness of the biden

00:11:21.840 administration which when trump was doing this pat he had people come across the border and because

00:11:27.720 he was charging the the parents he would have to separate them because they were being charged

00:11:33.140 this is totally different this the migrants get to be separated from their parents before they cross 0.99

00:11:39.840 the border which is much more humane you see if you just let if you just send your kid across a river

00:11:45.720 by themselves much better than the old trump way which is they would come together but then be

00:11:50.980 separated later right this way they separate before they cross the border brilliant which is perfectly

00:11:56.100 humane in every way and a great way to grow a family yes this is the way you do it it's unbelievable

00:12:03.680 that they are trying to claim anything other than complete catastrophe here well that's what it is

00:12:09.420 it's complete catastrophe and they're all wearing the t-shirts uh president biden please let us in

00:12:16.220 i who's making those t-shirts for him who's footing the bill for all of this stuff uh who's paying for

00:12:21.880 this something uh is is going on in the background too that we should probably be aware of because this

00:12:29.400 is a concerted effort to send people specifically up here right now um and i i don't know if if there's

00:12:36.280 governments behind it uh i don't i don't know if it's just the coyotes or uh what's going on here but

00:12:45.340 um it needs to stop and they need to they need to be told like president trump told them you're not

00:12:51.560 going to be allowed in the best of the glenn beck program

00:13:00.400 pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program triple eight seven two seven beck uh this chris

00:13:18.700 harrison situation um is amazing to me it's a i don't watch the bachelor or the bachelorette and he's

00:13:27.360 the host of it and has been since the late 30s i think yeah if you're are you like me you won't

00:13:32.860 watch because you're uncomfortable with the gendering uh of the bachelor and bachelorette

00:13:37.280 uh you don't like the fact that they are like these gender roles are traditional and i don't like

00:13:41.640 that i don't like that they name that's exactly why okay i don't watch i will not watch a show that

00:13:46.860 does that i won't um just the fact that they're named bachelor or bachelorette that makes me

00:13:53.560 uncomfortable is offensive to me it's offensive why can't a bachelor be a bachelorette thank you

00:13:58.860 that's what i've said all along all along since the 30s and yes you've had that you had a i don't

00:14:05.100 like the bachelor because they call them the bachelor and i don't like the bachelorette because they call

00:14:09.280 them the bachelorette bumper sticker on your model t so yeah uh back in the early 30s yeah 70 years

00:14:17.120 before the bachelor even began you were on this one yeah i was on um anyway chris harrison uh is uh

00:14:25.500 so apologetic over his role in uh this unbelievable scandal that took place now i guess it was a

00:14:34.200 bachelorette right that went to a this is somebody who is on the show a contestant one of the contestants

00:14:40.800 for the affection of a bachelor is that what it was i believe so was she the bachelorette anyway 0.97

00:14:47.280 she went to an antebellum party in 2018 which is you dress up like a southern belle right and now i

00:14:55.280 did not know these things were a thing i didn't know in 2018 i didn't know in 2021 but apparently

00:14:59.820 they were a trendy thing to do a few years ago and now it's the worst thing you can possibly do

00:15:04.560 right so yeah now like basically like burning a cross on your front lawn like it's exactly

00:15:10.800 an equivalent that i didn't know you dress up in a southern belle outfit you have essentially endorsed

00:15:18.300 um you the clan you're a clansman yes that is what is happening yes and you know to the point of

00:15:26.040 now we are at the idea that one of the biggest country bands in the world lady antebellum is not

00:15:30.760 like lady a he couldn't even come up with another good word i was like what if we just abbreviate

00:15:36.480 the old word that nobody will know what we're talking about or lady a and then they found out 0.75

00:15:42.960 they had actually taken that name from another artist who then sued them uh but the whole point

00:15:47.640 is it's completely ridiculous this is a totally new standard it was not in effect at the time she

00:15:53.340 was at this party no one was saying you know like it was not a it was not a controversial thing at

00:15:58.320 the time and he defended he so he kind of defended her he said come on it's like the woke police he did

00:16:03.660 yeah going after her on this he didn't really defend her what he said basically was look she

00:16:10.080 deserves a little grace we haven't even heard from her yet on this and uh i would like to at least hear

00:16:16.740 what she has to say i don't know what she has to say i don't know the story of this but i think we're

00:16:20.620 looking at this with 2021 eyeballs instead of 2018 eyeballs and you know that could be different

00:16:26.340 and that was the worst thing you could possibly say yeah i guess at the time and give a little

00:16:32.220 grace is not exactly uh an unknown standard there's been some books written about it long ago that

00:16:40.980 mentioned maybe having grace for others is a good thing to do yeah it's a long book too huh i'm

00:16:46.280 surprised you know it was a bestseller though it was a best-selling uh book and you should go back and

00:16:50.760 maybe read some of it yeah it's it's it's fantastic uh lots of really interesting stories there's floods

00:16:56.180 there's it's all it's crazy um but this i i have to say because this the the dr seuss thing

00:17:04.360 went on you know with last week and the week before right where the dr seuss books go go away

00:17:09.040 even glenn we said this on the air glenn went you know said something about the dr seuss thing and how

00:17:13.940 it's like we're going down this road of fascism you know and people like john oliver piled on him

00:17:18.140 and said how dumb he was as they always tend to do and as we noted on the air by the way

00:17:23.460 dr seuss is not the best example of cancel culture their family right were the ones that

00:17:32.080 stopped printing these books what we were commenting on is how now everyone follows suit

00:17:36.160 and is now pulling the the old books off of sites like ebay and amazon and we thought that that was

00:17:41.120 problematic among other things but like it's not the best example of cancel culture there wasn't a

00:17:46.520 widespread outrage about about dr seuss and these drawings it wasn't like a movement there wasn't a

00:17:52.360 twitter campaign and they did it on their own and they should not be forced to print books like

00:17:57.660 there's no no conservative would say yes we should force them to print the books they don't want to

00:18:03.000 force as a company it'll be a terrible idea however the chris harrison thing might be the single best

00:18:09.420 example of cancel culture that i can think of this is a guy who didn't do the thing in question

00:18:14.940 he was not even defending the person who was in trouble for doing the thing that was not a problem

00:18:22.780 when it was done only retroactively is it a problem and in addition to that all he said was we should

00:18:31.040 hear what she has to say about this and uh also uh we should you know offer her a little grace on a

00:18:37.600 mistake she made a made may have made by the way as a college student in a sorority right here's the 1.00

00:18:44.060 quote a little grace a little understanding a little compassion then he said come on how is

00:18:52.460 that a problem then he said it's unbelievably alarming that people were just telling tearing

00:18:56.480 this girl's life apart is it a good look in 2018 or is it not a good look in 2021 because there's a

00:19:03.340 big difference well i guess you can't say that but even she kind of went at him after that i know and

00:19:09.900 this is why i can't stand her uh this is terrible and also by the way i should point out i ended this

00:19:14.860 not being able to stand him either because they both came up with these ridiculous over the top

00:19:20.680 apologies right for this nonsense and she was even worse because she this is a guy who ruined his 1.00

00:19:28.740 career to defend her exactly she's come out and jumps on the the the cancel culture bandwagon saying

00:19:35.140 it's not a good look ever because she's celebrating the old south she responded about herself about

00:19:41.500 herself if i went to that party what would i represent at that party well i don't i don't know

00:19:47.660 then why'd you go to the party yes i mean are you really if you knew it was a racist thing to do then

00:19:52.960 really that's what you're telling me now then what why did you go and and she gets the pass here

00:19:58.660 somehow she's the good one she did the thing and he loses his job and he loses his job now his apology

00:20:05.800 was so irritating i wound up turning on all of them after reading it he right he goes to my bachelor

00:20:12.100 nation family i will always own a mistake when i make one so i am here to extend a sincere apology

00:20:18.980 i have this incredible platform to speak about love and yesterday i took a stance on topics which i

00:20:25.640 should have been better informed while i do not speak for rachel kirkconnell my intentions were

00:20:30.880 simply to ask for grace and offering her an opportunity to speak on her own behalf what i

00:20:35.520 now realize is i have done harm and caused harm by wrongly speaking in a manner that perpetrates

00:20:43.560 racism the hell are you talking about when you're asking for grace you're not perpetrating racism no

00:20:49.200 you're not sorry no and for that i am so deeply sorry i also apologize to my friend rachel lindsey i

00:20:55.080 guess is interviewing him for not listening to her better on a topic she has first stand on first

00:21:00.300 hand understanding of really was she a victim of an antebellum party as well is that is that what 0.86

00:21:04.920 happened uh and uh and humbly thank the members of bachelor nation who have reached out to me to hold

00:21:10.600 me accountable i promise to do better now look the guy's trying to defend his multi-million dollar job

00:21:16.520 that's it there's no way a human being actually feels this way about the situation none of them none of

00:21:22.180 the people accusing them of this care and think it's done harm to anyone no one asking for grace

00:21:29.720 for a sorority girl at a party who's on the bachelorette from three years ago three years ago

00:21:37.100 is not of an action that harms someone that is not what it does no one zero people on earth were harmed

00:21:46.320 by his statement none of them were they could act like they're harmed nor was anybody harmed because

00:21:51.620 she dressed up as a southern belle no in fact no one even knew about it no one even knew about it 1.00

00:21:55.880 people like people like well we've exposed them and now that's and and then she has to apologize

00:22:00.480 for the harm well if no one knew the party existed who's causing the harm the people exposing her

00:22:05.920 are calling the causing the harm but of course the truth is no harm happened it's a total lie in every

00:22:13.860 way so we can all get rage clicks i guess we're supposed to post this stuff and ruin both of these

00:22:19.340 people's lives for no freaking reason i mean it may be the single best example i think it is he's

00:22:24.660 talking about biblical principles of forgiveness and grace yeah and applying them to an idiotic 0.99

00:22:32.180 moronic bachelor contested who probably has the iq of a pear the fruit and there just is no redemption

00:22:40.400 anymore there's just no there's absolutely zero forgiveness and no redemption you can't even

00:22:47.940 consider it anymore i and these guys really neither one of them did anything wrong as far as i can tell

00:22:55.400 one dressed up in his southern bell outfit from the 1800s the other said yeah maybe that's not a big

00:23:02.820 deal again when i dress up as a vampire i am not advocating the sucking of blood from necks of victims

00:23:09.480 that is not what you do when you dress up in a costume no one who dresses up as freddy krueger is

00:23:15.860 advocating entering people's dreams to carve them up with razor fingers that's not what you're doing

00:23:21.340 you are not advocating the belief of the costume that you are wearing this is complete insanity

00:23:29.940 and we just it just rolls on yeah and we get these things like because they can find dr seuss

00:23:36.500 which is still disturbing but not perfect example of cancel culture they're all due speeches about 0.74

00:23:41.900 that one they'll say oh cancel culture doesn't even exist look at this dr seuss the family canceled

00:23:46.740 the books well what about this one this guy's not as far as i know not a conservative you you're free

00:23:52.320 to not hate him he's just being destroyed for no reason no reason just just this weird cancel

00:24:00.760 culture bloodlust for no reason at all there's no reason to believe he has any of these any racist

00:24:08.060 feelings there's no reason to believe he's even for low taxes you are free to like him and yet here

00:24:14.760 it is we've got to destroy the guy anyway it's incredible incredible until this year i i mean well

00:24:21.960 maybe last year i'd never seen anything like it and now we see it all the time all the time we see it

00:24:26.480 every every stinking week yeah i did this thing last year on stew does america my show on blaze tv

00:24:31.040 which uh which was called the cancel culture olympics and i was like oh we should do one of

00:24:35.460 these like once a year maybe or maybe even twice a year i could do it every single day yeah for sure

00:24:41.080 with with all these new people it happens every day

00:24:43.940 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:24:51.380 uh it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program

00:25:09.320 threw out his back or something over the weekend so hopefully he'll be back tomorrow

00:25:14.120 uh the second week of the trial uh former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin

00:25:19.360 kicked off uh this morning with arguments over the stunning news friday of the 27 million dollar

00:25:27.980 settlement for george george floyd's uh family over his death they're going through apparently recall

00:25:35.540 seven of the jurors i guess and talk to them about uh how they feel about that settlement because

00:25:42.380 doesn't the settlement sort of admit wrongdoing on the part of the city kind of does right seems

00:25:49.460 like it you're paying 27 million dollars for what yeah if if if you know chauvin is

00:25:55.400 turned to be you know to be innocent somehow what did you pay for right and i think the answer of

00:26:03.400 course is clear which is they paid for their city not to burn down now i don't know i mean i think

00:26:08.780 look by my eye not being a criminal justice expert by my eye what happened there was absolutely uh

00:26:16.940 not lawful that being said if it wouldn't like why would you why would you settle and have the

00:26:26.340 settlement come out publicly before the trial trial when you're selecting jurors don't make any sense

00:26:32.060 doesn't make any sense to me at all certainly it's not giving you know derek chauvin his it's not it's not

00:26:40.400 it's not helping him uh maintain his constitutionally guaranteed rights of innocence until proven guilty

00:26:47.840 right so he's charged with second degree murder and manslaughter um and the judge allowed prosecutors

00:26:56.400 to reinstate third degree murder charge last week so it will be interesting to see i mean what is

00:27:06.360 going to happen if he is found innocent does that enter into the jury's decision at all it would seem

00:27:14.660 like these are people it would be hard not to wouldn't it to consider what's going to happen if you find

00:27:22.480 this guy not guilty but it would just be a strange idea to pay someone 27 million dollars for nothing

00:27:29.360 right if you if you believe there is no wrongdoing you don't pay 27 million dollars typically

00:27:36.200 typically and if you're going to pay 27 million dollars you don't do it while they're selecting jurors

00:27:42.260 you know like i i you know usually like tough situation remember the oj uh thing back in the day

00:27:49.020 they had the the trial trial you know where he uh where you know if it doesn't fit you must acquit

00:27:54.840 yep and oj gets off and then afterward they had the civil trial right where you were going to find

00:28:01.340 out how much money oj was going to pay for this crime he'd already been acquitted of right and it was

00:28:06.500 it seems like the rational order of events like to pay out a settlement before you have the verdict

00:28:12.900 seems completely nuts to me i mean you have to be able to i mean they're in the middle of

00:28:20.220 selecting jurors again i think you can't do this without prejudicing the jury i don't think i don't

00:28:24.800 think so either and i don't see how anyway and i don't know maybe maybe they're just not coordinated

00:28:29.160 at all but you'd think that like this would be the type of thing that would be obvious that's not

00:28:34.600 this is not the time to settle again you could pay afterward you might say well look it was still

00:28:39.600 wrongful even though he got off like that maybe that makes sense i don't know you know again he

00:28:44.980 hasn't he isn't gonna get off i mean he's going to be convicted of this i think i mean minnesota is

00:28:51.040 like they're gonna figure out a way here because if he is not convicted now this is not this is not

00:28:58.540 constitutional this is not the way justice works but you're telling me there's not somebody in

00:29:04.380 minneapolis going guys if this dude is not convicted we are going to have a pile of rubble

00:29:11.220 for a city that is exactly what they're all thinking there they know it they believe it when it just

00:29:20.360 happened before there was any trial and there was any chance to hold someone responsible the city was

00:29:26.300 burned to the ground now if he if this guy just walks out of there can you imagine

00:29:33.440 you will be able to it will be nighttime and you will look in the distance from hundreds of miles

00:29:38.040 away and see a glow and probably a lot closer to that because probably a lot of other cities will

00:29:43.340 have the same thing happen that's what happened last time you know i mean look it's just it's just

00:29:48.620 reality and i think you know there's a thing that the nfl does a lot and that i've noticed where

00:29:53.640 there's a controversial big ticket like news item and the nfl will come out with this like very long

00:29:59.340 aggressive suspension you know the 14 games and then they appeal it it goes down to like four

00:30:06.540 and i swear the nfl is just saying like let's just come out we'll act like you know we'll come out

00:30:11.260 really tough on this stuff really long suspension if it go if it under appeal it gets cut in half then

00:30:16.340 it gets cut in half fine but if we come out with a too low of a penalty we'll look like we're not

00:30:21.120 controlling this issue and don't care about you know someone cheating or whatever uh and i would say

00:30:26.480 it's you know patriots because you know it's always the patriots but if uh you know it's usually

00:30:30.820 a patriot related issue but then they're just like okay well so now it went from 14 games to three

00:30:35.820 and what but we tried our best and look it got overturned in appeal what are we gonna do

00:30:40.060 you know and i think there's there's a there is a temptation by a lot of these municipal governments

00:30:45.820 to say look charge him with everything like who cares make it the hard it's one person again this is

00:30:52.540 not the right instinct it's against uh everything that our country stands for but there is an

00:30:58.040 argument i think that these people have and they say look just charge him at least we're coming out

00:31:02.640 hard and if he gets off he gets off we can't control that but go after him yeah well and they and they

00:31:10.160 are a second degree murder manslaughter charges so that must mean more than one and now they've

00:31:17.900 reinstated reinstated a uh they've reinstated a third degree murder charge right so they are

00:31:23.660 just throwing everything at him to see what sticks and they're hoping something will stick yeah they

00:31:30.080 want first degree murder it's like i don't think you can argue he like that he planned it no he planned

00:31:34.940 it probably not probably not you know who knows the way that a lot of these jurisdictions have different

00:31:41.760 quirks about how these things get applied i don't know what the right degree of murder would be

00:31:47.380 but he's probably going to get convicted of one of the degrees and look i i don't know a single

00:31:53.140 person who thought i think the police officer acted completely properly there i i certainly didn't

00:31:59.900 think that when this happened um it looked like he was definitely guilty of wrongdoing i mean there's

00:32:06.920 no reason for you to have your knee on his neck for eight minutes right i mean i i don't think any of

00:32:11.500 us thought that was appropriate but the coroner's report afterwards that said that he had a he had

00:32:18.120 a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system and then you realize i mean certainly they're gonna that's gonna

00:32:25.560 come out in the trial and so would he have died anyway i don't know i mean we'll never know that

00:32:31.880 but uh i i think the jury will consider that once the evidence is presented i think the coroner's

00:32:39.540 report will probably play a big part in this but um i don't i don't think that you can exonerate

00:32:46.860 derek chauvin of his responsibility in this right it's tough to tell right like even if and that does

00:32:53.300 seem to be the case that there were drugs in the system and they could have you know but that it's tough

00:32:58.380 because it's like did the interaction push this over the edge you know was it just such a stressful

00:33:05.020 event that it pushed it over the edge even though it didn't you know it crushes windpipe or something

00:33:08.900 you know um there is a it's going to be difficult and medical experts will go back and forth on that

00:33:13.040 i'm sure on the stands during the trial and look the uncomfortable truth of the wonderful system we

00:33:19.500 all praise here in america this idea of innocence until proven guilty the uncomfortable truth of that is

00:33:26.420 all of this matters even if you think what he did was wrong even if george floyd uh you know uh you

00:33:33.920 might think is a complete saint and the greatest guy of all time i mean it doesn't matter none of that

00:33:39.440 matters if if the medical situation comes out in a way that he might be you know he still got fired

00:33:46.220 right he's still going to have uh repercussions he likely will have he will likely be convicted of

00:33:51.240 murder but it's possible that he would be convicted of a lesser charge and if that happens

00:33:54.900 still cities will be burned to the ground over it and you know people people love this idea that

00:34:02.060 you know you're innocent until proven guilty when it's someone they like who is benefiting from that

00:34:09.460 and when it's someone who they don't like that is benefiting from it they all hate this idea

00:34:13.040 and while that is squarely part of our system a person that we don't like who's innocent does not

00:34:21.300 does not get thrown in prison that's not the way it's supposed to work what is not part of our system

00:34:25.540 is to sit here and glorify people who burn down cities because of the result that is the type of

00:34:32.000 thing that happens all the time in the media but is is not excusable it's not excusable to tear down a

00:34:39.960 statue because you don't like what the guy said 300 years ago it's not excusable to go burn down a city

00:34:45.360 because you don't like the result of a trial it's not excusable to create all sorts of violence

00:34:52.000 and to kill people because dozens of people died in the summer in those riots that was not just a it

00:34:59.780 was not just a property damage situation dozens of people died and i would also add on to it it's

00:35:06.020 also not acceptable even if you think that you really don't like the results of an election to go

00:35:10.780 to the capital and overwhelm it not okay but that's the only thing our media seems to understand

00:35:16.640 occurred in the last year it's not the only event there is a lot of other things that by the way

00:35:23.500 by scope were much much worse much much worse yes the symbolism of the capital thing was was

00:35:32.940 incredibly notable and there's all sorts of problems and i won't defend it for a second but

00:35:37.940 the the tearing up of many of our major cities and causing hundreds of millions if not billions of

00:35:46.180 dollars of damage disrupting economies destroying lifelong family businesses of minorities throughout

00:35:54.160 these cities it cannot be overstated how bad that is who was it was it dick durbin that said something

00:36:00.340 like um uh you can't compare you can't compare the summer riots to uh the january 6th riot uh insurrection

00:36:10.360 because it was a huge disservice to the police officers who died uh yeah the the ones who died over the

00:36:21.200 summer and the riots those because there was several there were several who died uh during that time period

00:36:29.480 whereas uh yes an officer died but it wasn't apparently at the hands of the mob on january 6th so i mean

00:36:38.620 they've taken this and twisted it so badly that it looks like january 6th was the worst thing that ever

00:36:45.580 happened and that the summer of rioting was just fine yeah i may take every death associated

00:36:52.060 even when you have a completely peaceful rally many times there's people who have medical events

00:36:57.300 uh and and they die every medical event associated with that they are counting to the capitol hill

00:37:03.920 death toll and you're right like some of these deaths look it was violence and i feel at some

00:37:09.520 level it's just pointless to try to say anything here because it's going to be taken as this defense

00:37:16.900 of the capital which it is not doing i think i think it was really bad i called it in the moment a

00:37:21.200 national disgrace but like 19 people at least died during the george floyd uh riots and there was

00:37:29.480 associated with um that's a huge number and we saw people beat to a pulp yeah by crowds on video

00:37:40.500 over and over and over again in city after city thankfully some of them survived so the number's not

00:37:46.360 even higher uh none of this is excusable on either side but it's it's amazing to see and you see it

00:37:52.500 too with with the george floyd thing now we're back to saying cops are bad again like when the capitol

00:37:58.540 hill thing was going on the police were good and we couldn't believe how the how disrespectful those

00:38:04.300 people were they were beating them over their head with blue lives matter flags over and over again

00:38:09.560 at the same time we would go back and forth with the left all the time aoc was saying like the capitol

00:38:15.860 hill police came to my office and i wasn't sure if they were going to hurt me or not right that was

00:38:20.120 the way they were talking about it until we got to the impeachment hearing and then everyone respected

00:38:26.400 the police more than anything in the world for two weeks and now again they're all evil again and

00:38:31.740 they're just beating up minorities for no reason yeah can you at least pick a lane pick so not even a

00:38:37.660 lane a direction on the highway be nice it would be really it would be no because the media allows

00:38:43.500 them to have it both ways uh every single time 0.54
