A young child crossed the border illegally and then died of dehydration, but the media is cynically twisting this story in a really terrible way. Also, a college student is under investigation for saying positive things about white people. And finally, there is one thing that ties every president of the last 100 years together, and it s a very bad thing.
00:01:12.020It says, Seven-year-old immigrant girl dies after Border Patrol arrest.
00:01:17.740NPR's headline is, Seven-year-old migrant girl dies of dehydration and shock in U.S. Border Patrol custody.
00:01:25.600Now, clearly, from the way these headlines are worded, you are meant to conclude that the child died because of something awful that happened to her while she was in custody.
00:01:37.280That obviously is what you're meant to take from that, right?
00:01:40.260You're meant to immediately place the blame on Border Patrol, yet if you look at the full story, you see that this is an obvious misdirection and misrepresentation and a really disgusting and just awful one as well.
00:01:57.480In reality, as it turns out, the child died, it is true that she died in the custody of Border Patrol, but to phrase it that way is clearly misleading.
00:02:09.680Because she died only eight hours after being taken into custody, and she died of dehydration and shock, which is not something that happens to a person in the span of eight hours.
00:02:21.060You cannot dehydrate someone to the point of death in the span of eight hours, but you have to read four paragraphs down into the AP story to learn that she hadn't eaten or had anything to drink in several days as she was making the trek across Mexico with her father.
00:02:39.740Now, so that is how she got to the point of fatal dehydration and exhaustion, is because she had not eaten or had anything to drink in days.
00:02:56.320The AP, of course, tries to pivot this right back to the Border Patrol.
00:03:00.200So the article says, reading from the article for a minute, it says,
00:03:05.380The girl's death raises questions about whether Border Patrol, about whether Border Agents knew she was ill and whether she was fed anything or given anything to drink during the eight-plus hours she was in custody.
00:03:26.120If a child dies of dehydration, do you ask, well, what has she been doing for the last eight hours?
00:03:33.940Or do you ask, what's been going on with this child for the last three, four, five days?
00:03:41.140Now, I don't know anything about her father.
00:03:44.060It says that she came across the border with her father.
00:03:46.360I don't know anything about her father.
00:03:47.480I don't know anything about the situation other than what's being reported.
00:03:50.620And what's being reported is that she hadn't had anything to drink or to eat in several days.
00:03:54.480So a decision was made, apparently, to make this journey from Guatemala without proper provisions.
00:04:03.480A decision was made, apparently, to continue along, keep going, even though the girl obviously was not being provided with the basic necessities that she needs to live.
00:04:12.480This was not a decision that the U.S. government made.
00:04:27.380But if he also went days without drinking water, he also should have been on death's door.
00:04:32.700Obviously, a child, a seven-year-old child, is going to be more susceptible and more frail than a grown man.
00:04:39.380But even a grown man, if you don't drink for three, four days when you're hiking, when you're on this perilous journey, you're going to also be very sick and probably needing hospitalization.
00:04:53.640So if he himself was not dangerously dehydrated, if he did drink, then you really have to wonder why his daughter had nothing to drink while he cared for himself.
00:05:09.820These are just questions that should be asked.
00:05:13.040And they should be asked about the father, not about Border Patrol.
00:05:17.720It's, of course, being implied by some on the left that Border Patrol must not have given her any water or done anything to treat her while she was in their custody.
00:05:32.940But there's no basis for that assumption whatsoever.
00:05:36.140Obviously, they should have given her water.
00:05:41.000But we have no reason to think that they didn't.
00:05:44.420In fact, when she began having seizures, she was airlifted to a hospital where, unfortunately, she died anyway.
00:05:51.080But the point is, if this was pure neglect, if this was how the left is trying to paint it, obviously will paint it, of the Border Patrol.
00:05:58.600They just don't care about the livelihood of these people.
00:06:02.560Well, if that was the case, why was she airlifted, which is obviously an extreme measure.
00:06:06.980That's something that you do when you're trying desperately to save someone's life.
00:06:10.080So why was she airlifted to the hospital if she was being neglected?
00:06:12.960It would seem because they sought out medical attention for her and they did it in such an urgent way, it would seem like this was not a case of neglect on the part of Border Patrol.
00:06:24.500It would seem as though they were doing everything they could to save her.
00:06:27.440But perhaps by the time she got to them, it was too late.
00:06:31.660You know, if you're being dehydrated, at a certain point, your organs start shutting down and everything.
00:06:35.700And at that point, even if you drink then, it may be too late.
00:06:38.080So again, if we want to know how this happened, we have to look at the days leading up to this, days in which she apparently was given nothing to eat or drink.
00:06:50.180Now, the left will say, is saying, that this very sad story shows why we need to be more welcoming of illegal immigrants and of illegal immigration generally.
00:07:06.640But of course, in truth, it shows the exact opposite.
00:07:09.620That is the exactly wrong message to take from this.
00:07:12.800If we if we encourage illegal immigration, then we encourage people to make this dangerous journey, a journey that killed a child and has killed many others.
00:07:26.100It obviously would have been better for this girl if her father had determined that crossing the border illegally would be impossible.
00:07:32.660And so therefore, there's no reason to try.
00:07:35.040This is a this is a very dangerous journey.
00:07:38.540She is not the first child or the first person to die in the process.
00:07:54.280It is the right thing and the moral thing to discourage people.
00:07:58.800From doing that to themselves and from doing it to their children, especially.
00:08:02.940Because that's always what's missed in all of this.
00:08:06.520When we hear about the children that are coming across the border, children are being detained and we're told that, you know, this is the government is doing something evil by the way they're handling these children.
00:08:17.580Well, what about the people who are dragging these kids across the desert?
00:08:24.000Only to try to sneak in across the border illegally.
00:08:27.060What what about the people who are doing that?
00:08:28.960The it's not it's not the government bringing these kids across.
00:08:33.740These are other adults, whether it's parents or or, you know, unrelated adults who are doing this.
00:08:40.500And so it seems clear to me for the sake of children like like this girl, that the moral and right thing.
00:08:48.560Is to have the border shut down, you know, so that you can only cross legally in an orderly fashion.
00:08:57.480And then maybe people will be discouraged from from doing this there.
00:09:03.260We're being told, you know, we need answers about this.
00:09:06.900But I think the answers are going to be found by looking at what happened to this girl, as I said, in the days and weeks leading up to this.
00:09:20.840Here's another story where the media has shockingly misconstrued things.
00:09:28.220The Daily Wire reported yesterday on this case.
00:09:30.840A Columbia University student was put under investigation and has been the target of widespread outrage and hatred and a huge backlash after he was caught on video praising white people.
00:09:47.620OK, the video shows the student, the student's name is Julian von Abel, Abel, I'll say Abel, Julian von Abel, proclaiming his love for himself and for his race.
00:10:00.520At one point, he shouts that white people invented science and industry.
00:10:04.040He says, I'll quote a little bit more from this.
00:10:09.180Student in the video, he says, we saved billions of people from starvation.
00:10:42.280But as he's saying this, the student is being heckled by a group of other students who are shouting at him, flipping him the middle finger.
00:10:50.760They're weirdly poking his face and his chest while he's talking.
00:10:54.720I don't know why, but that's what they were doing.
00:10:58.580Despite the student being accused of assaulting minority students, the footage never shows him lay hands on anyone.
00:11:58.560He wasn't meant to be taken 100%, totally literally, but he's frustrated at the guilt and the shame that's constantly heaped on white people.
00:12:10.640Now, this clarification will obviously make no difference whatsoever because a white man just is not allowed to say the things that he said without being branded as a horrific bigot.
00:12:23.440But that brings us to the forbidden question, which is what actually is wrong with what he said?
00:12:33.480Now, I know what's wrong by the current standard and the current way of thinking, but what's actually objectively wrong with the content of what he said?
00:12:42.480Well, I haven't seen anyone, all the people that have reacted to this, I haven't seen anyone actually explain why it's racist.
00:12:48.480They just declare it racist as if it's kind of self-evident, like they don't even need to explain it.
00:12:53.920Well, obviously, if a white guy says that, he must be racist.
