00:00:00.000 welcome to the podcast uh today it is it's a pretty amazing show we go into the derek chauvin
00:00:07.240 trial including um the back and forth between the media and the coverage of the jury selection
00:00:17.800 process where we see that apparently if you're at all skeptical of covid restrictions you're not
00:00:23.080 allowed on the jury um at the same time it's offensive if you believe there's deep-seated
00:00:27.540 racism in the police force that you're not allowed on the jury it's it's bizarre to hear it back in
00:00:32.100 a and b comparison we also have a steve dace on the program dace uh he's got a new book out called

00:02:14.420 you noticed there she seems very upset uh no are you watching her eyes yeah she's reading the script
00:02:22.940 it does look like she's reading it yeah she absolutely is i'm gonna toss the script she's
00:02:28.520 reading all of that okay go ahead we have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential
00:02:35.920 of where we are and so much reason for hope but right now i'm scared i'm speaking today not
00:02:42.300 necessarily as your cdc director and not only as your cdc director but as a wife as a mother as a
00:02:49.020 daughter to ask you to just please hold on a little while longer i so badly want to be done i know you
00:02:56.140 all so badly want to be done we are just almost there but not quite yet wow so sincere and uh and
00:03:06.320 so scared and joe biden says that he shares that sense of impending doom and here to talk about it
00:03:15.640 is our our one and only steve days hello steve morning glenn how are you i gotta say every time
00:03:24.580 i hear from our cdc director i get a sense of impending doom as well i do too uh tell me you
00:03:34.040 have written a book about fauci uh and uh the most you say the most powerful man uh uh i can i can
00:03:45.840 barely read the cover from here i'm sorry uh the most powerful and dangerous bureaucrat in american
00:03:51.880 history that's quite a statement 14 15 months ago glenn we didn't know who anthony fauci was
00:03:59.960 yeah and in that short amount of time uh he has without a single vote cast even by mail not a
00:04:08.540 single vote cast has rearranged the lives of every american every american family every american business
00:04:16.760 every american school every american church need i go on to the point can we actually step outside
00:04:23.620 our homes and breathe free air that is now a current debate now if that's not the most powerful and
00:04:30.920 dangerous bureaucrat in american history then by golly i don't want to know who is well according to the
00:04:37.720 cdc and joe biden if we let our guard down now we'll see the virus get worse not better and i know
00:04:45.880 that texas let its guard down about 20 days ago and uh we're still declining uh in hospitalizations and
00:04:56.280 infections this book is a reference guide glenn it has more references and footnotes than pages
00:05:03.960 and a lot of it is how often and infrequently these people have been wrong anthony fauci told
00:05:10.220 christy noem she was going to have 10 000 people in the hospital she never had more than 600 the last
00:05:16.120 time we heard this emotional lament from our new cdc director it was her unveiling a map of where it is
00:05:22.660 safe to go to school and for the kids to do extracurricular activities and glenn international
00:05:27.920 falls minnesota was the only place in the dead of freaking winter glenn was the only place safe for
00:05:34.580 kids to be fully back in person learning with extracurricular activities i mean that's just
00:05:39.500 obviously defies any form of common sense on and on and on it goes um they have lied repeatedly gaslighted
00:05:47.600 us repeatedly the previous cdc director told us that a useless face diaper from china would protect
00:05:54.200 him from covet 19 even more than the vaccines we might as well go outside and rain dance moon dance
00:06:01.380 this is flat earth voodoo it has to stop and that's why for this book we bypass the normal publishing
00:06:07.680 process of hard covers and distribution that takes six months we got to get this in as many people's
00:06:13.060 hands as we can right now we went right to paperback but that means we can only sell it in amazon that's
00:06:18.140 the only place on earth we could get an audience of this size this many books and so that's where you have
00:06:23.420 to get it unfortunately but it's got all the information we need to take this to our legislatures
00:06:28.580 our governors our city councils our boards of health and end this farce once and for all you call it the
00:06:35.780 faucian bargain uh that's the name of the book um and i i love the uh title actually uh for all of its
00:06:44.940 all of its meaning tell me what you're going to find in this book i'm an average citizen
00:06:50.440 i you know i i'm i'm up on it but not really uh whatever what what's in here that is going to
00:06:57.640 help me go to my school board and and to my uh community and to my senators and congressmen
00:07:04.040 all the facts and all the data you've largely not been told or shared there was a recent survey that
00:07:10.360 found our media was the most negative in the world for covet 19 i i woke up this morning and i had a uk
00:07:17.220 physician who has written a book and has 60 000 twitter followers come at me first thing i see
00:07:22.640 this morning is he comes at me for fake news and he makes this claim that 0.25 percent of all people
00:07:27.820 in the uk have died of covet 19 i just did the math of population and death in three seconds that's not
00:07:34.240 true that's his own that's his i mean this is a doctor with a book and 60 000 twitter followers
00:07:40.320 you know this isn't you know uh pez dispenser me 14 with five people following him and and so
00:07:46.260 this goes on constantly i've never seen a stream of this disinformation like this people like you
00:07:52.480 and i that have been in this conservative media game for a long time we've been told for 20 years
00:07:56.720 we need to be more like sweden suddenly we forgot sweden wrecked them barely knew them we don't know
00:08:00.900 what a sweden is like they fell off a map never existed the amount of gaslighting that's gone on here
00:08:05.700 it will all be debunked in this book and it calls into question you know we have numerous elected
00:08:11.380 officials have endorsed this book florida governor ron de santis uh senator ran paul senator ted cruz
00:08:17.460 congressman chip roy and i'm already bugging those people that are in washington we need a 9-11 tribunal
00:08:24.140 glenn to get answers to the two most important questions of this past year that are raised by this
00:08:30.280 book number one how come only experts with one particular narrative were considered experts and
00:08:37.540 were mainstreamed and were used by the white house coronavirus task force our own media etc when we had
00:08:43.560 experts from the very beginning from oxford the number one university in the world harvard yale
00:08:48.840 carnegie mellon glenn these are all places that believe in global warming and 57 genders too
00:08:53.760 and they all thought this was flat earth junk science these lockdowns and yet they were totally ignored
00:08:59.180 we give you all their names all their citations in this book we need to know the answer to that and
00:09:04.440 then number two that we have to get an answer to is what changed from february 28th of last year to
00:09:09.640 march 11th on february 28th 2020 anthony fauci wrote in the new england journal of medicine that when we got
00:09:16.660 done with this when we looked at the ifr the infection fatality rate for covet 19 it would be that of about
00:09:22.160 a bad pandemic flu that's where trump got is it's a bad flu talking point trump just parroted fauci his entire
00:09:28.560 final year of administration and now look what happened he's not in the white house and so he wrote that on
00:09:33.920 february 28th glenn on march 11th just 11 days later and just three days after he went on 60 minutes and told
00:09:40.940 americans not to wear masks three days later after that and 11 days after he wrote that in the new england journal of
00:09:46.600 medicine he went to congress said that this was going to be basically captain trips college basketball and the nba
00:09:52.580 shut down that night the country was shut down less than a week later and for the better part of the
00:09:57.780 next year what changed what new piece of data did anthony fauci acquire what what information stream
00:10:04.860 did he get access to from february 28th to march 8th when he was singing a totally different song
00:10:11.140 to march 11th when he sounded the shofar on this thing we need to know the answer to that and there's
00:10:16.740 two reasons why glenn number one so that we never fall for this form of authoritarianism ever again
00:10:23.020 but then number two when when we finally do to get a contagion that may actually be a history book or
00:10:29.960 biblical level event and now we've conditioned a bunch of our people to just ignore it because anthony
00:10:34.860 fauci is such a fraud we need to get to the bottom of the truth here glenn well they're going to i mean
00:10:42.640 they already know the truth and now the white house is targeting an ad campaign for conservatives
00:10:49.340 uh and they're uh trying to get the conservatives because they know they're going to be extra hard
00:10:55.460 they've already gotten all the liberals they say to to get the vaccines now they just need the
00:11:00.400 conservatives and so they've got a very slick ad campaign that will uh will convince us all that we
00:11:06.640 all have to get uh the uh the vaccine uh and uh and and a passport to be able to go back to our lives
00:11:15.740 this is almost like i mean i hate to say this but if they weren't trying to condition us for
00:11:22.600 something in the future glenn what would they be doing differently oh nothing nothing so it's just a
00:11:29.180 matter of whether this is a an accidental proto version of something to condition us for in the future
00:11:33.800 or it's intentional malevolence but the the end result is just the same yeah i mean listen i i hope
00:11:40.360 the vaccines work they're experimental vaccines there is some conflicting data that's out right
00:11:45.500 now every day i look i get one source it's conflicting i get another it's positive there's
00:11:50.000 very positive vaccination data right now coming out of governor de santis is florida where they have
00:11:54.780 emphasized seniors with one of the largest senior populations for example so what i would tell my
00:12:00.720 audience and you know i told my audience from the very beginning vitamin d vitamin c workout get
00:12:05.800 outside get in the sun um if you've got elderly if anybody has a sniffle or a cold you know social
00:12:11.840 distance unless you test negative i mean we haven't just put our heads in the sand on our show about
00:12:16.620 this whatsoever but we've actually followed established science like ran paul was grilling anthony
00:12:22.580 fauci with uh about a week ago in the senate when it comes to this vaccine what i've urged my
00:12:27.820 audience is unless you're in a high risk group or you're elderly first of all why are you getting
00:12:32.900 in the way of somebody in the high risk group anyway that's kind of selfish let them go first
00:12:37.580 and then secondly just observe the real-time data we didn't go through a normal fda approval process so
00:12:44.100 just observe the real-time data about efficacy and safety pretty much unless you're under the age of
00:12:49.480 you're over the age of 75 with a immune deficiency um this virus if you were to get it you're going to
00:12:55.160 survive at about 99.6 percent of the time so i don't know why you'd be in a hurry to rush out and
00:13:00.400 get an experimental vaccine under those conditions anyway if you weren't in those groups i mean glenn
00:13:05.680 the median age of death for covid in america is 78 that's the average lifespan in america
00:13:10.980 let me let me read something that a blue check mark uh wrote yesterday vaccine passports are a good
00:13:21.720 idea among other things it will single out the still large contingent of people who refuse vaccines
00:13:29.140 who will be foreclosed from doing a lot of things their peers can do it will help break the resistance
00:13:37.660 down your thoughts on that my thoughts are the fifth and 14th amendment amendments to the constitution
00:13:45.740 have a few things to say about singling people out creating different classifications of people no
00:13:51.820 person shall be denied life liberty or property without due process of law that's the fifth amendment
00:13:56.660 the 14th amendment the equal protection under the law clause what's happening here is these people
00:14:02.480 are using this to show you what their true malevolent intentions are if you're pro-vaccination this is and
00:14:09.940 you're reasonable this is the worst messaging you could possibly ask for you're you're basically
00:14:15.400 begging people who have already seen their their livelihoods taken away instead of a friend a pastor
00:14:21.080 from my church just texted me their kid in the public school was just told to start bringing a second
00:14:25.520 mask because they sweat too much during recess so they need a backup and i'm like why don't they just
00:14:30.360 have them do rain dances you know just might as well do you know moon for the second recess it'll be
00:14:35.080 just as effective and so the they just these people are tyrants authoritarians they cannot wait
00:14:41.400 to impose on you and that's another reason why we had to get this book out in as many people's hands
00:14:46.960 as possible i think a lot of people uh i would urge i've never done this before i mean by going
00:14:52.540 straight to paperback i'm going to make a lot less money on this because it's the information that's
00:14:57.260 important buy extra copies send them to people that you're paying that are panic-stricken elderly
00:15:02.540 your elderly that have been isolated stop doing that if they've been vaccinated there's no reason
00:15:07.500 for you to continue isolating with them the amount of junk science here literally headlines this morning
00:15:12.620 that say yes the vaccines worse work but here's why you still must wear a mask this is absolute
00:15:19.100 authoritarian garbage with one exception glenn there there is there is one exception here that doesn't
00:15:25.140 make this all flat earth voodoo would you like to know what it is yes the one exception would be as if
00:15:31.080 the virus is not a natural phenomenon because if it's a natural phenomenon what these people are
00:15:36.220 asserting this is what rand was pointing out to to anthony fauci uh you what you're asserting
00:15:40.800 and this is scott atlas's great frustration we are violating the established laws and precedents
00:15:46.260 of virology immunology and biology so the only reason we would violate those is if this is not entirely
00:15:53.020 a natural phenomenon if indeed it was either originated or altered or engineered or modified in a lab
00:16:00.380 and therefore if it's been synthesized at all then we're out then we may be outside the natural laws
00:16:05.440 of science and then maybe we do have to look at things differently but then that would make anthony
00:16:09.600 fauci guilty of treason for lying to the american people for a year and funding the wuhan virus
00:16:14.940 institute at the same time steve dace thank you so much the uh name of the book is the faucian bargain
00:16:22.200 uh you can find it on amazon right now the faucian bargain by steve dace uh go there now by the way his
00:16:30.420 name is spelled like peace except with a d and it's pronounced dace so you figure it out um you can find
00:16:38.000 him now at amazon.com and he uh is on the blaze radio network right after uh this program
00:16:43.800 you know steve dace was just talking about what is happening um uh with the passports and everything else
00:17:07.460 and stew you and i were talking off the air that just the messaging of uh the the vaccine from the
00:17:18.380 government is is the biggest detriment to getting a vaccine they're they're not saying about how great
00:17:27.760 it is and just get the vaccine then everything will go back to normal what they're saying is
00:17:32.620 get the vaccine you still probably have to isolate you still have to wear masks oh and we're going to
00:17:39.280 get passports for everybody right it's like just the worst messaging campaign of all time you know
00:17:44.960 it goes back to what steve was talking about i think uh in in the in the interview that we had the
00:17:49.720 most negative coverage of covid in the world and this continues you listen now look health officials
00:17:57.360 and scientists are going to say things that aren't necessarily about messaging they
00:18:02.220 shouldn't be they shouldn't be focused on messaging per se right but like you it's i think a lot of
00:18:07.940 this is the media who is taking this information is there a small chance after you get vaccinated that
00:18:14.240 you could still be infected yes it's possible obviously these things are 95 effective not 100
00:18:19.400 so yes there's a chance is there a chance that you could spread to someone else it seems possible but
00:18:25.660 incredibly rare so why would you focus on that when you talk about vaccine passports and you talk about
00:18:33.800 um all of these sorts of uh of things uh you know when it comes to well you still have to wear a mask and
00:18:41.800 you still can't gather you know what maybe by july 4th you'll be able to gather with a group of other
00:18:46.640 vaccinated people in your backyard it's a it's terrible messaging now so far we have not crossed
00:18:53.180 the line where the supply and demand are out out of out of whack i mean you know the the people who
00:18:59.060 do not want to get the vaccine has decreased over the past few months uh we're down you know now south
00:19:05.540 of 20 percent of people and it keeps as as they're shown to be effective it keeps going down but we're
00:19:12.320 gonna get we're gonna hit that point eventually and there's no reason to to to make that point
00:19:17.620 happen any earlier than than it needs to the messaging from our government should be if you get
00:19:23.360 the vaccine or honestly if you've had covid already as as you and i glenn are covid 19 survivors yes if
00:19:30.720 you've had it already like it's time to go back to normal life you know and at some point especially
00:19:35.800 now that there's enough supply and i know in texas this week they started out anyone over 16 can get it
00:19:41.580 we're at the point now where if you don't want to get it if you're a person who says i don't want to
00:19:45.420 get the vaccine you're just going to take on your own risk right it's now available for you if if you
00:19:50.920 don't want to take it it's a different it's a different calculus than back in march and april when
00:19:55.860 we didn't know where it was we didn't have testing we didn't have treatments we didn't have a vaccine
00:20:00.160 and people were getting it no matter even when they were trying to avoid it now if you're at the
00:20:05.320 point where you don't want to participate in this stuff you shouldn't have to and you should be able to
00:20:09.800 take on your own risk but see that is not the plan you can't you're you have to lose your individual
00:20:16.340 choice for us to be able to build back better or to go back to a new normal you have to lose your
00:20:24.540 choice and they are already doing it already today we have talked about the forced vaccine and the
00:20:31.340 campaign to belittle people and the campaign with passports to make sure that you don't get your
00:20:37.900 freedoms back unless you do what the government says we told you about a school district in
00:20:46.140 virginia that is taking away and and and actively saying and stating on facebook that they are going
00:20:56.680 to silence all opposition to their critical race theory teaching etc etc now let me tell you what
00:21:04.500 we're going to talk about tomorrow on tomorrow night show at 9 p.m we have been talking about esg that's
00:21:12.400 environment social justice and governance scores if you've been watching my show you remember how the
00:21:19.000 environment and going green is being used to bend people to the government's will tomorrow i'm going
00:21:25.120 to expose the s in esg gone are the days of social justice being used as a political tool it is now being
00:21:35.300 weaponized by the largest financial institutes in the world i'm going to cover this more on tomorrow's
00:21:43.280 program but i will tell you that pointing this out in one show one mention has already made me a target
00:21:52.360 of the financial industry the information that i will share with you scares the crap out of the banks and
00:22:00.680 investment firms that are involved and i do not believe that most of the people that are involved in these
00:22:07.020 financial institutions have a nefarious bone in their body they are not trying to control your life they just
00:22:14.360 haven't thought it through now that means on the lower levels i believe the upper levels know exactly what they are
00:22:22.260 doing and they think they're doing the right thing they're telling us that this is not going to affect the
00:22:28.880 little guy at all it's just for your educational use so you can know who to invest in really
00:22:37.500 so aren't the banks then controlling the investments by telling you that you should probably be investing in
00:22:47.840 this institution or this particular business because the others aren't really socially acceptable
00:22:55.020 it's not surprising to me in the slightest that these institutions can't grasp how this is going to
00:23:04.200 affect the individual because they couldn't care less they couldn't care less they really couldn't
00:23:09.520 why would they care about you we're the ants we are the last because of the the um the uh
00:23:21.200 biden or the uh the frank the dodd frank bill that went through after 2008's crash the banks can now
00:23:28.580 look at you as the lender of last resort so they take your money and you're last in the line to get any
00:23:37.240 money and when i say take your money i mean the money that you have in their bank so this is what
00:23:45.000 they think of you i want to show you this is john carrey after being asked what would happen to the
00:23:49.900 oil workers that just lost their job because of the pipeline listen what president biden wants to do is
00:23:56.320 make sure those folks have better choices that they have alternatives that they can be the people who go
00:24:02.100 to work to make the solar panels so if you're somebody that you know has been educated to uh work on a
00:24:10.180 pipeline and that's your skill just go get a new education and you know forget about your family
00:24:16.480 right now you just just go back to school get an education and then find a job in the solar panel
00:24:22.780 industry it's just that easy they see control they see power and they see a whole lot of dollar signs
00:24:33.480 to boot i want to show you a chart if you're watching blaze tv right now take a look at this graphic if
00:24:38.780 you're just listening to us let me describe what's currently on the screen this is a representation of
00:24:44.980 what the people pushing all of this plan to do now the image is taken from their own reports
00:24:52.900 it depicts the flow of money those that control the money are at the very top they funnel the money
00:24:59.900 cash down through the investment firms and the banks that money then goes to industry as a whole
00:25:08.180 but in the middle of the image they propose a disruption they plan to turn off the funds going
00:25:15.860 to where they deem are high carbon and towards entities that are low carbon as i will show you
00:25:24.080 tomorrow night this includes those people who are or are not woke enough now to the banks claiming
00:25:33.140 that this won't hurt the individual tell me this what happens to everyone associated in any capacity
00:25:41.220 to the companies the cities the towns that operate on the left side of this graphic those considered
00:25:48.580 high carbon and not woke enough what happens to those people well they will tell you well you just have
00:25:55.140 to move to the other side well that's taking away my freedom of choice and it's it's not uh
00:26:02.980 this is why libertarians have got to lose the mantra of well it's private business
00:26:08.900 this is now a cabal of business they are working in tandem to control
00:26:18.180 what happens to the west virginia coal town it's already struggling as it is but now it has to deal
00:26:23.300 with all their investments being pulled one by one when the coal mine is forced to shut down what
00:26:29.700 happens to the corner drugstore the popular cafe everybody likes to have breakfast in the hardware
00:26:34.340 store that's been in business since the town was founded tell us tell us what happens to those
00:26:40.260 individuals to those businesses because i don't think they're going to buy this is for educational
00:26:45.700 purposes only what happens to the college town that you may live in if the university takes a stand to
00:26:53.540 go against critical race theory they're turning the coin on go rogue go woke go broke to go woke or will
00:27:04.420 force you to go broke how many scholarships will be lost when their low esg score dries up all the cash
00:27:13.380 how many less bodies walking into local businesses will that mean how long before the little college
00:27:19.620 town can't last if it stands against the woke theory how many parents are going to be forced to pay the
00:27:26.660 last bit of their savings to to go to an out-of-state more expensive school see these are the factors that
00:27:35.940 they are not putting in their equation they don't consider you because they don't consider the individual
00:27:42.820 the individual in this theory and our coming society does not matter the largest banks and financial
00:27:51.060 institutions all around the world are currently redirecting money by the trillions of dollars
00:27:58.580 they don't care about the trickle-down effects the new ghost towns that it will create the closed
00:28:05.060 businesses the joblessness and the 401k and retirement funds that will begin drying up
00:28:10.580 a bit by painful bit
00:28:16.500 this is all about control and it all fits in the covid virus the control of your schools control of your
00:28:26.580 children control where you can go when you can go the destruction of your business and now the esg
00:28:34.420 can anyone see how this all fits together this is not a conspiracy theory this is as i showed you that
00:28:43.620 chart that's from their own website this is this is their theory not mine
00:28:53.860 we're going to show you tomorrow night directly from their own reports how they plan to weaponize social
00:28:58.420 justice and re-engineer our society and probably the largest power grab in history i'll show you how
00:29:05.060 they're going to do it examples of it taking place right now and where it all began i'll only show you how
00:29:11.460 it's moved on from college campuses and now been injected directly into big businesses but how it is now being
00:29:19.060 pushed in grade school you will be forced to comply unless you stand together now that's tomorrow night
00:29:30.900 9 p.m eastern on blaze tv and youtube it is the wednesday night special titled comply
00:29:38.980 or die how america will enforce total wokeness
00:29:48.500 this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening
00:29:59.540 all right so derek chauvin the trial has now started and both the prosecution and the defense
00:30:06.820 have given their opening statements the prosecution is honing in on the amount of time that george floyd
00:30:13.940 was being restrained the defense is focusing on george floyd's continuous struggle with drug addiction
00:30:20.420 and health problems including a heart condition but let's state the the ridiculous obvious right up at the
00:30:29.860 beginning this case is way more than whether a cop committed murder
00:30:35.140 this is the latest attempt to further the lie that racism is rampant in our country and they're using
00:30:43.140 the death of a civilian and taking advantage of the emotions of a family and of the country
00:30:50.020 to ignore some facts and some evidence i don't want to set this guy free nor convict him in the media i
00:30:57.300 i haven't seen all of the evidence neither have you but the defense started uh uh with the fact that
00:31:05.380 there are 50 000 pieces of evidence in total for this case but this case is being painted as something
00:31:14.020 that it isn't this case is about two people derek chauvin and george floyd that's what this is about and the
00:31:22.500 prosecution has stated in the opening statements quote this case is about derek chauvin and not the police
00:31:32.100 or the minneapolis police department that's great i wish it was about that but with the establishment
00:31:41.380 media they have already taken this case as they do with every case and giving it the meaning they always do
00:31:48.180 another sign of racism in america and george floyd family has already bought into that narrative
00:31:56.260 claiming quote derek chauvin trial is a referendum on how far america has come do you understand the
00:32:05.620 danger of that statement because if you do not convict derek chauvin for for chauvin for some reason or
00:32:14.260 another it will show that america is racist our judicial system is not set up that way our judicial
00:32:23.380 system in uh it demands that this is all about the individual and not about uh some other bigger uh
00:32:33.540 picture this is all about the individual if it becomes about the bigger picture we're in trouble you
00:32:40.900 won't get real justice you'll get somebody with an axe to grind and they'll blame that and say you
00:32:46.980 know what by punishing this guy it helps this problem over here that is not justice
00:32:56.260 the new york times released an article sharpton and crump warned that the world is watching as
00:33:02.660 witnesses begin to testify here's a line from the article quote america is on trial to see if we have
00:33:09.860 gotten to the place where we can hold police accountable if they break the law well i hope that
00:33:16.500 we have gotten to that place i think we have been at that place for a while but that's not what they're
00:33:22.900 asking they have already decided that he is guilty now how are you expected to get a fair trial if
00:33:32.260 everyone just assumes you're guilty how can anyone with articles like this turning the temperature up
00:33:39.380 for everybody in america who already believes the lies that this country is irreparably damaged by
00:33:47.300 racism how do you get a fair trial all this is doing is getting people worked up to a point to where
00:33:54.340 if the trial doesn't go their way things will get violent it will be much much worse than rodney king
00:34:02.420 it will be much much worse than oj simpson this is extraordinarily dangerous we cannot have a country
00:34:11.620 where our criminal justice system is so polarized and politicized that you can't get a fair trial without
00:34:19.780 fears of more crime and more harm being done now the first witness that was called yesterday was the
00:34:27.620 911 operator who handled the 911 call on george floyd she stated in her initial testimony
00:34:35.380 that the footage she saw of george floyd's arrest was unusual and disturbing but my question is which
00:34:43.700 footage is she talking about if you're watching the blaze you will see this footage was it this footage that
00:34:51.380 she was talking about watch i didn't know man get out of the car i didn't know here he is in the car
00:34:57.220 resisting arrest
00:35:03.860 stop moving
00:35:14.660 hey come back stay in the car
00:35:16.500 now they're putting him in the back of the police car
00:35:34.260 he says i've got i don't want covid
00:35:57.220 and i'm gonna die now was it that because i never saw that footage do you know why because
00:36:05.300 the attorney general keith ellison deemed that footage too shocking for the public to view
00:36:12.900 that's more shocking than the police officer kneeling on his back really because i don't find that part
00:36:20.020 shocking
00:36:22.420 why would this footage be hidden by keith ellison
00:36:28.740 you see this is far more than a simple racist murder from a racist cop
00:36:34.020 they have charged derek chauvin with second-degree murder now a person can be charged with second-degree
00:36:40.500 murder if a person causes the death of a human being without intent of killing them
00:36:46.820 but you're committing or attempting to commit a felony offense all right so you can be charged with a
00:36:55.540 second-degree murder if the death was caused without the intent quote uh of murder but while
00:37:03.780 intentionally inflicting or attempting to inflict bodily harm upon the victim so if you are restrained
00:37:12.580 and uh you are trying to quote protect the victim and you are intentionally harming him
00:37:23.300 then you can be charged in minnesota with second-degree murder now i just showed the footage that ellison
00:37:30.820 didn't want anybody to see where he is pulled out of the car he's resisting arrest and then they're
00:37:36.020 trying to put him in the back of the squad car for his own protection and he won't go he will not bend
00:37:44.340 and they're like come on get into the car and he won't bend and he's like i am getting in the car you
00:37:49.540 won't let me but he's not getting into the car was he trying to hurt him
00:37:56.740 there wasn't a shortage of cameras filming this whole thing are we supposed to believe that
00:38:05.380 hurting george floyd in front of all of the witnesses and the cameras was the real intent rather than restraining him
00:38:16.100 not in a million years would you be able to prove that one way or the other so what's actually going on here
00:38:24.180 is this about justice or is this about making a bigger statement now i want to talk to you about
00:38:31.780 the jurors how is the jury going to be able to handle all this they see the news they know what's on the
00:38:40.340 line if they decide that you know uh he's not guilty they know that violent political groups what they're
00:38:48.660 wanting them to do they're from that city they know they're in trouble if they don't go along with the
00:38:55.620 mob outside and some of them agree with the mob outside now they should be going in with no facts no
00:39:05.780 opinions no headlines but the media has made this impossible as did the riots for a good reason
00:39:13.380 election the media has done a lot of this because the jurors have those headlines floating around in
00:39:21.860 their heads so this has made jury selection very very interesting and i want to play something from the
00:39:29.860 new york times this is the new york times on the selecting of the the uh jurors and they they there's
00:39:38.740 actual audio of the interviews of each juror this is michael babara uh speaking uh with the new york
00:39:47.300 times criminal justice reporter about the list of questions sent to potential jurors to determine
00:39:54.020 what lens they see the case through now listen carefully to not only the questions and the answers
00:39:59.940 but how it's being framed by the new york times i want to just start with what this jury selection process
00:40:07.220 looked like and felt like i know you watched it very closely my sense is that it was always seen
00:40:12.820 as something that was going to be very difficult just to pull off because of how many people have
00:40:18.500 seen this video that's at the center of this case and how many people have developed a pretty strong
00:40:23.940 opinion about what happened that's right the judge set aside three full weeks almost as much time as he
00:40:32.100 set aside for the trial itself just to pick the jury and last fall they sent out a 14 page questionnaire
00:40:42.900 which was returned by more than 300 jurors who filled this out and sort of a first take at screening
00:40:50.900 jurors for you know some of the mundane things like could you even do this do you have young children
00:40:57.220 would your job allow you to do it but more importantly questions like what are your attitudes
00:41:02.740 about the criminal justice system how do you feel about black lives matter how do you feel about the
00:41:07.780 police do you think the police are racist i mean just pages and pages of questions and they're trying
00:41:17.220 to get at this really central idea which is what is your lens we're all going to look at the same set of
00:41:22.180 facts here we're all going to look at the same video but what lens are you seeing it through
00:41:28.820 and what did you make of that what do you think the lawyers are trying to really get at there well the
00:41:35.940 lawyers are using these questions to try to figure out who they want to kick off the jury and who they
00:41:40.980 think will be on their side and they want to keep on so this is not about these two people or really just the
00:41:52.020 police officer because the jury is asked just to judge the police officer and what he did no no we
00:42:00.820 have to make it about more than that so what did the prosecution and the defense do they sent out uh
00:42:08.580 for these potential jurors over 300 uh forms and and had all kinds of question pages and pages of questions
00:42:15.620 about the people so they could figure out who they wanted on the jury and who they didn't now i want
00:42:22.500 you to listen here's how they here's how the uh prosecution was interviewing people and deciding
00:42:32.340 who they were going to have on and who they were going to uh dismiss listen carefully this is from the
00:42:38.100 daily podcast from the new york times listen each of these things is like a cue it's like the
00:42:44.260 prosecution and the defense are putting little check marks in their columns yes no good bad pro
00:42:51.540 defense anti-defense come on up have a seat and there was one woman they asked um you know there
00:43:00.980 were some people and perhaps very vocal folks who would say that the restrictions that the government
00:43:08.340 placed on people for social gatherings and whatnot went a little too far how do you feel about the
00:43:16.660 covid restrictions it's been pretty tough right um bars restaurants gyms what's your opinion of
00:43:24.420 the restrictions there erring on the side of conservatism and just trying to keep it as you know as safe as
00:43:32.660 possible i think also that may have as it turned out gone overboard but then you hear and she said the
00:43:42.260 covid restrictions have been a little too tight so that again is like proxy for kind of conservative
00:43:49.060 attitude that the prosecution wants to avoid so they moved to get her off the jury that's kind of
00:43:56.260 fascinating shall so this juror's objections to government restrictions on people's movements
00:44:02.820 during the pandemic was seen by the prosecutors as potentially something that could inform her bias
00:44:11.140 against george floyd or towards the police yeah i mean it's a little reductive but they have all of
00:44:19.620 these indicators and they fit together like pieces of a puzzle and they just don't want too many
00:44:27.860 conservative puzzle pieces nor do they want someone whose conservative views are really strongly held
00:44:36.020 so strongly held that they can't set them aside okay so they're so strongly held that they can't set
00:44:42.260 them aside i don't know if you heard the woman uh she was dismissed but she said she thought at first
00:44:48.180 the the government was you know uh maybe doing and you know uh standing on the side of error
00:44:55.220 for safety you know it's better to do a little more than it is to do less and she thought that was fine
00:45:02.020 and then maybe perhaps it got a little out of control uh but then again she said but then again
00:45:10.100 you hear reports so she was not steadfast in this she was questioning she was open
00:45:18.500 and didn't know it was this way but maybe maybe it turned out to be uh wrong but then again you hear
00:45:26.660 reports that say it was right so i don't know that's what she was saying she had to be dismissed
00:45:32.820 and the new york times didn't really seem to have a problem with it
