00:05:10.380For his own sake, I will assume that he's guilty.
00:05:15.520Another story from yesterday, the city of Detroit is apparently moving forward or moving toward taking Ben Carson's name off of the Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine in Detroit.
00:05:33.700Now, why are they going to take it off?
00:05:38.020Well, because, of course, he's a Republican, he's a conservative, and he works for the Trump administration.
00:05:42.420So that's why they're going to take the name off.
00:05:44.640Why was his name ever on the school to begin with?
00:05:47.980Well, that's because he's a Detroit native.
00:05:50.920And he also happens to be one of the most accomplished surgeons in American history.
00:05:57.440So that seems like a really good reason to have his name on a school of science and medicine.
00:06:03.260The fact that he's one of the most accomplished, one of the greatest medical professionals in the history of the country, so you've got his name on the school of medicine, that makes a lot of sense.
00:06:12.720Because how many success stories like Carson does Detroit really have to its name in recent decades?
00:06:23.020It would seem like they don't really have the luxury to be picky choosy, right?
00:06:29.100I mean, you had one of the greatest medical professionals in history graduate from your school system in Detroit.
00:06:35.440You should be trumpeting that fact everywhere.
00:06:37.220You should name the whole city after him.
00:06:40.100Just to simply survive the Detroit school system is impressive enough, but to survive it and then go on and do what he did, well, you're not going to find very many who can match up to what he accomplished.
00:06:51.340Yet his name is coming off the building.
00:06:53.760So there are two things to notice here.
00:06:55.020First of all, once again, we see how, and this is the way it works now in society, we see how a person's entire identity, their worth as a person, is judged by their political and ideological leanings.
00:07:10.220Ben Carson had a whole career, a historic storied career in medicine before he dipped his toes into politics.
00:07:19.200Nobody can ever take that away from him.
00:07:22.720But now we say, well, unless you agree with me on politics, unless we have the same ideological opinions, then everything else you've done in your life is meaningless.
00:07:39.680And the second thing, of course, we see is this effort to rewrite history, which now is reaching absurd heights.
00:07:46.040I mean, it was bad enough when they were going and they were going back to tearing down the Civil War monuments and taking people's names off of buildings who were alive back in that era.
00:08:00.580But now, I mean, Ben Carson is still alive, and we've got to rewrite history, and in Detroit, they're going to pretend this should be one of their greatest sons of Detroit.
00:08:13.780And they're going to pretend now that he doesn't exist.
00:08:16.500I think it's just a horrible trend, but there's no end in sight to it.
00:08:23.320Okay, here's a cautionary tale that I think we need to talk about.
00:08:30.380Reading now from the Daily Wire, it says,
00:08:49.180Mark D'Amico, Kate McClure, and Johnny Bobbitt will face charges, including conspiracy and theft, by deception,
00:08:55.280because they apparently conspired or allegedly conspired with one another to make up a false story in order to raise more than $400,000.
00:09:06.980D'Amico and McClure turned themselves into Burlington County authorities on Wednesday after prosecutors said that they, along with Bobbitt,
00:09:12.480intentionally prevented those who donated to the GoFundMe page from accessing relevant information
00:09:16.820that would affect their judgment about solicited contribution to the fundraising effort.
00:09:20.360The three gained national attention last year after the couple claimed that Bobbitt gave his last $20 to help McClure purchase fuel
00:09:27.420after she ran out of fuel while driving on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia.
00:09:35.440And then the story goes on from there.
00:09:38.080If you've been following this, you know that so they raised all this money,
00:09:41.380and then almost immediately there was a dispute between the homeless man and the couple
00:09:47.700because he was claiming they didn't give him all the money that was earmarked to them.
00:09:52.520And next thing you know, this couple, they're buying a BMW.
00:09:55.760They're going on these fancy vacations.
00:09:59.080And it's just, I mean, this isn't really the point here,
00:10:02.540but the absolute stupidity of the people involved in this scheme.
00:10:08.460I mean, so you come up with this, you conspire to make up this story,
00:10:15.620and then you start suing each other and backstabbing each other like it wasn't going to all fall apart?
00:10:22.440Not only that, but, I mean, if you really, you know, you could have,
00:10:27.860there's no reason to even make up the story.
00:10:29.600You could have covered your tracks just if the woman, if the homeless guy had actually just given $20
00:10:38.840to the woman, then they could claim that the story wasn't really made up.
00:10:44.380In other words, maybe there was some conspiring,
00:10:46.800but if she had actually just had the guy physically give her $20,
00:10:51.480then legally maybe she could say, hey, look, I'm clear, he did give me $20.
00:10:55.800But apparently they didn't even do that much.
00:11:00.840And then they immediately started stabbing it.
00:11:03.060No honor amongst thieves, I guess, is the lesson we learned.
