In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, many Americans have been led to believe that the riots were a direct response to a specific event and how it was portrayed by the media. But the truth is much darker and darker.

00:00:00.000 One of the most enduring misconceptions about the BLM riots of 2020, and this is a misconception that 0.62
00:00:05.840 even many conservatives hold to this day, is the idea that these mobs comprised mostly of black
00:00:11.260 people turned to violence and mass lawlessness because they were outraged about their perceptions
00:00:16.520 of police brutality. The idea is that when they set the local Wendy's on fire or murdered a
00:00:21.540 security guard before looting the pawn shop on the corner, black rioters were primarily motivated by 0.95
00:00:27.020 racial narratives. They've been fed by the Democrat Party, the media, the school system. 0.95
00:00:32.300 And if you're on the right, you probably recognize that those narratives are fake. If you're on the
00:00:35.940 left, you think they're accurate. But no matter where you stand politically, the consensus among
00:00:39.640 most Americans is that the BLM riots of 2020 were a direct response to specific events and how those
00:00:46.420 events were portrayed, most notably George Floyd's overdose and the relentless racial propaganda that
00:00:51.040 followed that. The problem with this explanation is that all over the United States, mobs comprised
00:00:56.040 of a similar racial makeup, has spent the last several years rioting and committing acts of
00:01:01.680 mass lawlessness for no discernible reason whatsoever. There's no recent BLM martyr,
00:01:07.300 no misleading cell phone footage that's gone viral on social media, no fake report from a
00:01:11.760 medical examiner, nothing to justify their conduct in any way. And yet the rioting has
00:01:17.340 continued. It's intensified. Over the past few months, these riots have become so commonplace
00:01:21.580 and so dangerous that the media can't ignore them anymore. But instead of covering the story
00:01:26.840 honestly and telling the truth about the violent dysfunction in overwhelmingly black areas,
00:01:32.640 the corporate press has decided to brand these riots as teen takeovers. Yes, teen takeovers. 0.71
00:01:39.320 Now, without any context, it doesn't sound that bad. Certainly not any kind of event where I'd
00:01:44.000 want to be personally, but teen takeover sounds like, you know, it's a bunch of young people
00:01:48.900 getting together to have fun. And most importantly, whatever it is, it sounds like something that
00:01:54.460 involves teens generally, not any specific kind of teen, not any particular race or demographic,
00:02:02.240 just teens. The point is to be generic and therefore, of course, misleading. It's like
00:02:08.300 blaming 9-11 on airline passengers. But that's what they're going with. Watch. 0.67
00:02:14.720 tonight dramatic new video of chicago police pinning people down and struggling to quell
00:02:22.580 massive memorial day crowds police say 53 people were arrested and nearby three teens were shot
00:02:29.060 this 24 hours after investigators say an 18-year-old plowed his car into a crowd of five
00:02:34.940 officers all now in fair condition the teen charged with attempted murder two so-called
00:02:41.460 teen takeovers in 24 hours. A viral trend sweeping the nation with massive gatherings
00:02:47.420 organized online and unleashed on unsuspecting communities coast to coast, often turning chaotic
00:02:53.060 or violent. In Tampa, police body camera video shows massive fights amid a teen takeover earlier
00:02:59.860 this month. Here, you see the mayhem from above. Authorities say 22 people were arrested as young
00:03:06.260 as 12. Another brawl breaking out at this Chipotle in Washington, D.C. and outside Milwaukee,
00:03:12.120 cars spinning out in this intersection. So as you can see, these are not teen takeovers. These are,
00:03:18.640 to be specific, black riots. Everyone depicted in the videos of these teen takeovers is black. 0.99
00:03:26.300 Every single one of them is committing a crime. They're engaging in a public and violent 1.00
00:03:30.560 disturbance. White people are not involved in this. And therefore, teen takeover is a deliberately 0.88
00:03:37.920 misleading term, which is designed to confuse people about what is actually happening.
00:03:43.200 But the deception doesn't stop there. You're also led to believe in many of these news reports
00:03:47.640 that this phenomenon is new. In reality, nothing about these black riots is actually new, not even
00:03:53.520 close. Here's an interesting bit of trivia that you may not be aware of. Why do you think we have
00:03:58.720 SWAT teams today? Why do you think we have heavily armed, highly trained paramilitary
00:04:04.120 police units in every major city equipped with bearcats, bomb-carrying robots, ballistic shields,
00:04:10.500 flashbangs, and tear gas? Now, if you're like most Americans, you have no idea. You probably
00:04:16.160 just assume that, well, we've always had SWAT teams. The truth is that SWAT teams formed in
00:04:20.760 Philadelphia and Los Angeles in the mid to late 1960s as a direct result and consequence of the
00:04:25.960 civil rights movement. Race riots, in which black rioters regularly caused millions of dollars
00:04:31.840 in damage and thousands of injuries and dozens of fatalities, prompted police departments to
00:04:37.460 establish paramilitary SWAT units staffed with the most capable officers, including many veterans of
00:04:43.620 the Vietnam War. Prior to the 1960s, police departments didn't have tanks because they
00:04:50.340 didn't need tanks to do their jobs. Now they do. From the moment the demographics of cities began
00:04:56.940 to change as a result of the civil rights era, the cities became war zones. People who weren't
00:05:03.640 able to flee the cities, people who could not engage in quote-unquote white flight, as the
00:05:09.220 media calls it, were tormented. Many of them were tortured, beaten, and killed. And we'll go into
00:05:14.780 great detail on this point in part two of our civil rights documentary, which is coming out
00:05:19.120 very soon. But you could read the book Left Behind in Rosedale for an idea of what happened in the
00:05:23.680 Dallas-Fort Worth area once the demographics changed. White people were beaten, sexually 0.59
00:05:28.640 assaulted, murdered for no reason other than their skin color. Or if you can get a copy, read Race 0.99
00:05:34.020 War in High School, the 10-Year Destruction of Franklin K. Lane High School in Brooklyn,
00:05:38.860 and you'll get a sense of what the civil rights movement did to urban schools. The violence,
00:05:43.080 including arson attacks in the classroom, is hard to wrap your head around, hard to comprehend,
00:05:48.840 but it's real. Today, police departments pretend to be ignorant of this entire history. So here's
00:05:53.760 a recent clip from a sheriff in Orlando, Florida, where these so-called teen takeovers are terrorizing
00:06:00.140 residents. Listen to this. First at five o'clock, chaos in the heart of the tourist district. The
00:06:05.200 Orange County Sheriff's Office says hundreds of teens, as you see, swarm the area, throwing
00:06:10.040 punches and getting arrested. Good evening. I'm Lindsay Sublon. I'm Jesse Pagan. Two deputies were
00:06:14.820 also hurt in all of this. West Shoes, Spencer Tracy, live outside Icon Park. And Spencer,
00:06:19.260 you talked with someone who saw it all happen. Yeah, Virgil Goodson was just having dinner on
00:06:26.060 a regular night, and that's when he saw teens running in sirens everywhere. He said he didn't
00:06:31.280 know what was going on, and then started people with young families or with young kids starting
00:06:36.020 to take cover.
00:06:42.380 This was Icon Park Saturday night.
00:06:47.140 The Orange County Sheriff's Office says by 7 30 PM around 1000 teens had filled
00:06:51.940 into the heart of the tourist district, and that's when multiple fights started
00:06:55.820 breaking out. There was a large police presence. Sheriff John Mina says they
00:06:59.260 found out about this gathering from social media, but they did not expect
00:07:03.200 the level of chaos that followed.
00:07:05.280 Hopefully it's just a trend that will end at some point
00:07:09.400 because, I mean, literally, where did they get out of it?
00:07:12.400 Well, hopefully it's just a trend, the sheriff says.
00:07:15.100 You know, it's just one of those trends
00:07:16.620 that persists for decades,
00:07:19.220 sometimes with a justification, a pretense,
00:07:21.840 sometimes without any pretense at all.
00:07:24.360 And then the sheriff acts perplexed about the fact
00:07:26.840 that these criminals are committing crimes
00:07:28.580 without any apparent reason.
00:07:31.220 This, too, is nothing new.
00:07:32.420 in Left Behind and Rosedale, you learn all about the wilding, as it was called, which is a term 0.58
00:07:36.740 that black teenagers used to describe their campaigns of racial terror. They would act like 1.00
00:07:42.060 animals on purpose, and they were proud of it. That's, as I call it, wilding. They openly bragged
00:07:48.700 to detectives about what they were doing. And here we are many decades later, nothing has changed.
00:07:55.000 All the affirmative action and equity and DEI and Martin Luther King Jr. speeches, all of it
00:08:00.840 has brought us here. And we're supposed to just shrug our shoulders and pretend that it's a
00:08:06.780 new trend. What's funny about this is that the teens participating in these takeovers
00:08:13.740 understand how weak and pathetic our leaders have become. They know they won't suffer any 0.99
00:08:19.500 consequences whatsoever. In fact, they understand that if they play their cards right,
00:08:23.640 they can make the police officers suffer consequences for attempting to enforce the
00:08:27.900 law, God forbid. That's why some of the teen takeover participants are claiming that the
00:08:33.800 police engaged in excessive force in Orlando when they tried to suppress the riot. Watch this clip
00:08:39.280 carefully. Only on West 2 tonight, we are talking with the family of one of the teens arrested
00:08:44.560 at Icon Park Saturday night. I'm Jesse Pagan. And I'm Lindsay Sublon. They say the deputy who
00:08:49.960 arrested that young boy used excessive force by slamming him to the ground. And the boy and his
00:08:55.580 family spoke exclusively with West choose Patrick Perez, who is live near
00:08:59.340 icon park with the details, Patrick.
00:09:04.580 Yeah, video of that takedown was caught on multiple cell phone cameras. It is
00:09:08.300 spreading online right now. The family says what happened was heartbreaking
00:09:12.060 and embarrassing and they hope to get some accountability.
00:09:17.220 Exclusive new videos shared with West two news shows the moments in Orange
00:09:20.620 County Sheriff's deputy took down a teen during a so called takeover of icon
00:09:24.940 Park Saturday night. I'm doing I'm doing a little good, but my back kind of hurt and my leg still
00:09:30.740 hurting, but that's up. 14-year-old Tavorian Dade says just moments before he was defending
00:09:36.340 himself from a teen who had picked the fight with him. He thought the deputy was just another teen
00:09:40.960 also trying to throw in some punches. And he didn't say his name, so he I thought I was getting
00:09:45.360 a jump, but I wasn't. I looked behind him. I tried to stop. He just caught me, so after that,
00:09:51.400 I got back up and I didn't resist right then and there.
00:09:53.780 Still, his family says he was charged with resisting arrest without violence,
00:09:57.320 and they allege the deputy used excessive force.
00:09:59.900 I believe once he got him on the ground, once he tackled him,
00:10:04.120 and I feel like he could have just cuffed him from there,
00:10:06.660 he picked him up and he slammed him.
00:10:09.080 Now, the first thing you should notice, and I'm sure you did notice,
00:10:12.660 is that the teen takeover suspect can't even speak English.
00:10:17.940 He does not have the capacity to use language to communicate ideas.
00:10:22.500 And this is not just a matter of a kid using slang.
00:10:25.620 Slang has existed forever.
00:10:27.300 This is a kid who can barely communicate in any language at all. 1.00
00:10:32.040 I mean, you've heard of people who speak one language and people who are bilingual or even trilingual.
00:10:37.600 This kid is no-lingual, and he's not alone.
00:10:40.700 You know, one of the reasons that toddlers have temper tantrums is that their language skills are not advanced enough to convey their emotions any other way.
00:10:49.260 They can't tell you what they're feeling or what they want, and so they just freak out, you know, partly out of frustration at their own inability to communicate.
00:11:00.240 And I think part of what's happening now is we have teenagers and adults with a similar problem, which is not to excuse it at all.
00:11:10.700 But when it comes to excuses, you know, notice what the excuse is that we're hearing.
00:11:15.580 They don't even deny that he resisted arrest.
00:11:17.940 They just they're just saying that, well, the officer should have been more gentle in dealing with it. 0.95
00:11:23.500 And this is what we so often hear from the parents or in this case, the grandparent, who knows where the parents are, of black criminals. 0.92
00:11:30.900 You know, the argument is so often, well, yes, our poor child was committing violent crimes and resisting arrest and acting like a hooligan terrorist for no reason. 0.94
00:11:40.700 But the police should have been nicer about it.
00:11:44.840 And somehow we're supposed to take that logic seriously.
00:11:48.640 When like, if you're a good and present parent, you know that it's, you have, this is, it's
00:11:52.880 the exact opposite, right?
00:11:54.740 If your kid comes home from school and, uh, and, and says, oh, the teacher was mean to
00:11:59.780 me.
00:12:00.160 If you're a good parent and a sane and rational person, you're the first thing you're asking
00:12:04.700 your kid is what did you do?
00:12:06.960 What did you do?
00:12:08.000 What did you do wrong that made the teacher mean?
00:12:12.640 I mean, it's possible once you get down to the bottom of it.
00:12:15.720 I mean, there can be times when the teacher was being, was off base.
00:12:19.240 But that should not be your immediate assumption, especially if you know that your kid is a delinquent.
00:12:27.220 Now, when the sheriff of Orlando asks a room full of reporters,
00:12:30.940 gee, why are people committing crimes when it doesn't benefit them?
00:12:33.980 This is the answer.
00:12:34.940 irrational people will do irrational things people who are not raised right people who are
00:12:43.200 when there are no consequences for what they do they're just looking to entertain themselves
00:12:46.900 uh this is how they act you can't reason with someone who is not acting according to reason
00:12:53.540 in the first place you know if the police department solution is just to wait it out
00:12:59.040 on the theory that this is just a trend that will pass because it's irrational
00:13:02.560 well, then I guess we're going to have to endure another 60 years of this.
00:13:07.920 Oh, my God.
00:13:09.680 Sit back.
00:13:17.440 What are you doing?
00:13:19.400 Did you really go sit and come back?
00:13:22.340 No, don't call 911.
00:13:24.200 Sit back. 0.80
00:13:25.300 No. 1.00
00:13:26.740 No, mommy's a partner.
00:13:29.580 That was from a riot about a month ago in Charlotte.
00:13:31.860 they took over the highway for street racing and just for good measure they started a fire
00:13:36.460 they detonated fireworks on the road and as of right now no one's been arrested for participating
00:13:42.060 in this particular riot not that we should be surprised by that very few arrests have been
00:13:47.120 made in any of these takeovers from new jersey to chicago and everywhere in between watch
00:13:52.780 Oh
00:14:22.780 like what the
00:14:38.100 so you really got to squint to notice a pattern here but uh indeed the pattern exists 0.98
00:14:50.560 In every single case, you have mobs of mostly young black men who are terrorizing entire neighborhoods. 0.98
00:14:58.800 What could possibly explain what's going on? 1.00
00:15:01.720 Let's take a look at the newspaper of record, the New York Times, for their insight.
00:15:05.900 Maybe they can clear it up.
00:15:06.840 This is from their recent article on quote unquote teen takeovers.
00:15:11.120 Quote, in Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, the nation's capital and elsewhere, large, quickly organized gatherings of youths have popped up in downtown parks and leafy neighborhoods.
00:15:20.100 They can be noisy, boisterous, and at times violent.
00:15:22.720 The pandemic exacerbated a decline in the amount of time that teenagers spend going out and socializing.
00:15:27.480 And socializing is a natural impulse, said Lauren Steinberg, a psychology professor who studies adolescent development.
00:15:33.880 It is bound to burst.
00:15:36.820 Well, that clears things up.
00:15:38.480 Youths are engaged in boisterous and violent gatherings because of the pandemic.
00:15:43.840 Now, in a way, this is a clever excuse because everyone now recognizes that the COVID lockdowns were the single most disastrous domestic policy decision in the past century, bar none.
00:15:58.480 So it's easy to get people to blame everything on the COVID lockdowns, and you can understand why. 0.73
00:16:05.560 But the reasoning falls apart when you realize, again, that white youths are not engaging in these, quote-unquote, boisterous gatherings for the most part. 0.64
00:16:16.480 And that defeats the entire argument because, last time I checked, white youths were also forced to participate in the COVID lockdown as well. 0.69
00:16:24.560 And there's no reason why the lockdowns would cause black youths and only them to systematically engage in dysfunctional, violent, antisocial behavior in public. 0.77
00:16:34.420 So what's the real explanation?
00:16:37.660 Now, if you read through this entire New York Times article, you won't find an answer.
00:16:41.960 In fact, race is not even mentioned until about 20 paragraphs in.
00:16:45.280 And here's what the article eventually says about that.
00:16:47.640 Quote, some of the panic over teen takeovers has echoes in worries over wilding in the late 1980s and super predators in the 1990s. 0.95
00:16:55.680 There's a lot of dog whistling there about the fact that these are black kids who are gathering together in these large groups and we should be afraid of them, Mr. Steinberg said.
00:17:04.060 Black and Latino youth gatherings are more likely to be assumed as criminal, said Kristen Henning, a Georgetown University law professor who specializes in juvenile violence.
00:17:11.480 white children in skate parks in the 1980s and 1990s, did not generate nearly the same level
00:17:16.620 of surveillance and arrests as black gatherings, she said. In case you're interested, here's what
00:17:23.600 the Georgetown law professor, Kristen Henning, looks like. And as best I can tell, her entire 0.99
00:17:30.460 career is devoted to the idea that, quote, normal behaviors of black adolescents and teenagers have
00:17:35.460 been criminalized across the country. And to that end, she claims that there's no difference
00:17:41.560 between black riots and white children in skate parks in the 1980s and 1990s. But here's the
00:17:48.000 thing about white children in skate parks in the 1980s. They were not doing any of the things we 0.91
00:17:54.420 just saw. They weren't attacking people. They weren't shooting. They didn't storm into restaurants
00:17:59.220 and beat each other with chairs. They didn't rampage through the streets. They didn't shut
00:18:04.840 down entire city blocks, they didn't make life miserable for everyone or anyone in the
00:18:09.780 neighborhood. To the extent that anybody was upset with skateboarding children, the concern
00:18:13.940 was that they were scraping the sidewalks and maybe running into people every now and
00:18:18.660 then. And that's why they didn't generate the same level of surveillance and arrests
00:18:23.140 as these black teenagers. They weren't committing crimes. It's kind of a big distinction, the
00:18:30.140 thing a Georgetown law professor is supposed to notice. But every time these law professors tell
00:18:35.260 us, well, why is it that black youths are arrested for crimes more than other demographics? Well,
00:18:43.000 it's because they're committing crimes more than other demographics. That's why, professor. 1.00
00:18:49.340 Funny how that works. If a certain group commits more crimes, they get arrested more often.
00:18:55.620 Wow.
00:18:57.780 That's shocking. 0.80
00:19:00.740 Also, the white skateboarders weren't committing crimes all over the entire country.
00:19:04.300 Everywhere you look, you know, this was not a widespread. 0.77
00:19:07.280 You didn't have to worry about a youth skate park just like randomly taking over your whole neighborhood.
00:19:14.480 But these teen takeovers are happening everywhere.
00:19:18.580 Even the beaches of Rhode Island.
00:19:20.620 Watch.
00:19:21.820 Aotic day at two Rhode Island beaches yesterday.
00:19:23.940 large crowds gathering, multiple disturbances leading to arrests in both Narragansett and
00:19:29.100 Middletown. Police say officers responded to fights, disorderly crowds, and a stabbing as
00:19:33.700 thousands packed the beaches. Kristen Brunel joins us live in Narragansett with more. Kristen.
00:19:41.060 Good morning, Kate and Patrick. Police in both Narragansett and Middletown say that large groups
00:19:45.680 of teenagers gathering on the beach yesterday led to some pretty chaotic scenes and multiple
00:19:50.180 disturbances happening throughout the day. In Middletown, police say more than a thousand
00:19:54.960 high school students were at Second Beach for senior skip day. Nine teenagers were arrested
00:20:00.260 after police say several disturbances broke out in the crowd. Officers were already at the beach
00:20:05.120 monitoring the crowds when they say one young man was acting disorderly towards others. Police say
00:20:10.020 the crowd quickly turned aggressive with one teen accused of assaulting officers and police used
00:20:14.780 pepper spray to restore control. In a separate incident, investigators say a man hit a Newport
00:20:20.020 police officer with his car while leaving the parking lot. He's now facing felony assault and
00:20:25.020 DUI charges. Several others were also taken into custody, facing charges ranging from simple assault
00:20:30.480 to obstructing police. Meanwhile, in Narragansett, three people were stabbed during a large fight at
00:20:35.560 the town beach. Two adults were arrested on charges, including simple assault. Beachgoers
00:20:40.260 say they were shocked by the violence, especially on one of the first hot beach days of the season.
00:20:45.820 Now, strangely enough, that local news report never shows you a photograph of any of these
00:20:49.640 suspects, you'd think that this would be a top priority when you're talking about a violent
00:20:52.940 criminal act that's terrorizing the community, including in particular young people. But somehow
00:20:57.820 they weren't able to come up with any information at all. So we turned to the New York Post, which
00:21:02.260 obtained this image of one of the stabbing suspects. And here he is. This is 18-year-old
00:21:08.080 Willie Medina. He was out on bail for a gun charge when he allegedly stabbed three people on the
00:21:12.800 beach where hundreds of other teens were skipping school. The Post reports that Medina is accused
00:21:17.980 of slashing three beachgoers as the rowdy crowd went into a frenzy.
00:21:22.940 Quote, police allege Medina and another 18-year-old were part of a larger crowd
00:21:26.260 when a disturbance broke out and a gunshot was fired off, striking a parked car.
00:21:30.320 Medina was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, firing in compact area,
00:21:35.040 vandalism, and disorderly conduct.
00:21:36.940 In the aftermath of Tuesday's stabbings, Naragansett police arrested two men
00:21:41.960 in the police beach's parking lot on charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct,
00:21:45.840 resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.
00:21:49.640 Now, the reason local media is hiding the photograph of the suspect is precisely the
00:21:53.060 same reason they're referring to these riots as teen takeovers.
00:21:56.160 You're not allowed to challenge any of the left's sacred mythologies, and the civil rights
00:22:00.880 movement is definitely one of those mythologies.
00:22:03.920 Any fact that calls into question the wisdom of that era or the idea that all racial disparities
00:22:10.340 are automatically the result of systemic prejudice by white people has to be squashed.
00:22:15.840 So you're not allowed to hear about wilding or super predators or black riots. 0.99
00:22:20.080 Instead, you're told about teen takeovers as if as if hordes of white people are going around shooting up your neighborhood. 0.98
00:22:26.400 Most Americans don't eat enough fruits and vegetables.
00:22:28.860 People are busy. They travel. They work long hours. They eat whatever is convenient.
00:22:32.080 Most of the time, that means a meal that's not nutritionally dense whatsoever.
00:22:35.920 It's a sad reality. But there's a company actively changing that.
00:22:39.460 They're offering a solution that can realistically supplement your diet when life inevitably gets chaotic.

00:23:41.700 There's another reason that they're lying about these riots as well. As always, Democrats see an opportunity to use violence to further their political objectives and expand their power. And in this case, instead of blaming black people, and in particular black fathers, Democrats are claiming that social media companies are responsible for these teen takeovers. And therefore, in the eyes of the leaders of the Democrat Party, these riots are merely another justification for online censorship.
00:24:08.160 So here's the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, on that point.
00:24:12.320 Listen.
00:24:13.240 We prevent the vast majority of these from ever taking place.
00:24:17.260 You know, there is an effort in city council to hold these social media apparatuses accountable.
00:24:22.900 I believe that we should continue to explore that.
00:24:25.020 And I'm going to continue to work with Alderman Hall around that.
00:24:28.160 It's why we're actually taxing these big tech companies for the role that they have played in harming the mental health and well-being of our young people.
00:24:36.440 This is an obvious attack on your civil liberties, framed as an attack on big tech.
00:24:41.300 Online censorship has rolled back significantly over the past few years,
00:24:45.200 thanks to the election of Donald Trump and Elon Musk's purchase of X.
00:24:48.760 But Democrats, they want to bring it back, and they plan to if they ever hold power again.
00:24:53.240 And they're going to use mobs of violent thugs to do it.
00:24:56.260 They're banking on the idea that people will be too afraid of being called racist
00:25:00.000 to identify the actual problem here.
00:25:02.940 So instead, we're all expected to remain silent while they crack down and ban us on social media.
00:25:09.380 The lack of shame from Brandon Johnson here is actually pretty impressive.
00:25:13.120 Just a couple of years ago, he sued Kia and Hyundai for supposedly making their cars too easy to steal. 0.93
00:25:20.700 So once again, he concluded that when black people commit crimes, they aren't responsible for their own actions. 0.94
00:25:27.280 Instead, someone else is responsible for enabling them to commit crimes. 0.98
00:25:32.380 Watch.
00:25:33.480 Developments in the Kia Hyundai thefts.
00:25:35.700 The city of Chicago is now suing the automakers, saying a defect in their vehicles has led to theft crisis in the city.
00:25:42.300 This is a story that we've been following closely for a couple of years now.
00:25:46.660 A security flaw shared on social media made the car an easy target for thieves.
00:25:50.720 The mayor's office says since the videos started spreading on social media, thefts of Kia and Hyundai vehicles in Chicago surged from about 500 in the first half of 2022 to more than 8000 during the second half of the year.
00:26:06.300 The complaint filed in Cook County Circuit Court says the flaw has led to an increase in violence because thieves use those stolen Hyundais and Kias to commit other crimes.
00:26:14.620 The city says it wants restitution for victims and to reclaim the cost of responding to those thefts.
00:26:20.720 Well, the car manufacturers were not violating any law, obviously. There was no requirement
00:26:25.760 that they design their vehicles to include systems to prevent auto theft. They were trying
00:26:30.980 to cut costs and offer a cheaper product, which makes sense. And in a high-trust society where
00:26:36.660 laws are enforced, there'd be no issue at all. I mean, in a functioning society, not only should
00:26:42.960 you not need anti-theft on your car, you shouldn't even need to lock your car. If you live in a
00:26:48.580 functioning society, if you live in a, in a, in a, you know, a community, a functioning community,
00:26:54.760 you don't even need to lock the car at all. If you need to lock it to begin with, that's already
00:27:01.700 a sign that we've got major problems here that, um, anti-theft stuff on the car won't fix.
00:27:10.080 Well, the city of Chicago sued anyway, on behalf of criminals who can commit carjackings without
00:27:14.920 suffering any consequences whatsoever. And eventually Chicago won and the manufacturers
00:27:19.640 settled. But of course, Chicago didn't stop there in the war to blame literally everyone else
00:27:25.460 for crimes committed predominantly by black people. A couple of years ago, Chicago also sued 0.97
00:27:30.760 Glock. And what was the claim there? Well, Glock made firearms that black suspects were using
00:27:37.580 to commit crimes. That was the problem. This is from Reuters. Glock must face a lawsuit 1.00
00:27:44.080 filed by the city of Chicago over claims that it knowingly sells pistols that can be easily
00:27:48.320 converted into illegal machine guns, often used in criminal activity, an Illinois state court judge
00:27:53.640 said. The city alleged that Glock has long known adding an inexpensive accessory to one of its
00:27:58.180 popular pistols enable shooters to switch the gun between semi-automatic and fully automatic firing.
00:28:03.700 Walker said the city's allegation fits within an exception to the Protection of Lawful Commerce
00:28:08.240 and Arms Act. Representatives for Glock and gun retailers, Midwest Sporting Goods and Eagle
00:28:13.660 sports range, who were named in a lawsuit, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
00:28:18.280 In a statement, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called the ruling a major step towards holding
00:28:22.160 Glock accountable for endangering the residents of our city. So to recap, when black people commit 1.00
00:28:29.460 crimes in Chicago, it's the fault of the social media companies and the automobile manufacturers 0.99
00:28:34.940 and the firearm manufacturers and, you know, white people and systemic racism and El Nino and Donald
00:28:41.660 trump the supreme court and i don't know bed bugs uh everything and everyone is to blame
00:28:47.320 except the people themselves who are doing the crimes meanwhile if you talk to sane well-adjusted 0.78
00:28:53.280 black people in these communities they'll immediately tell you what the problem is 0.80
00:28:58.340 watch jerson park on detroit's west side on memorial day for another so-called teen takeover 0.98
00:29:04.480 oh my god this is horrible neighbors tell me it started out peaceful but things took a turn
00:29:11.260 as fights broke out and police moved in to disperse the crowds.
00:29:15.120 All of it leaving neighbors like this man who did not want to be identified on edge.
00:29:20.260 Me and the neighbors, we talked about it today.
00:29:22.400 It was just like, I don't know.
00:29:24.380 I don't know what's causing this.
00:29:27.680 And this is spreading, how serious it's going to get.
00:29:30.220 And the summer just began.
00:29:32.420 Where's the next one we want to be?
00:29:34.220 Because I feared, so I think about my property.
00:29:36.900 They need to be able to do, like, have fun.
00:29:38.880 and like, you know, do what they want to do,
00:29:40.740 but at the same time, it's getting too dangerous.
00:29:42.640 Parents need to get a handle on their kids.
00:29:44.500 It's embarrassing to the community.
00:29:47.420 Parents need to get a handle on their kids, she says.
00:29:49.960 And, you know, yeah, well, that's a novel concept. 0.99
00:29:53.640 Why isn't that happening in black communities?
00:29:55.380 Why aren't poor white fathers having the exact same problem 0.95
00:29:59.260 convincing their children not to cause mayhem in every major city? 0.99
00:30:02.860 Why are black fathers failing to prevent these teen takeovers, 1.00
00:30:07.040 which are really black riots? 0.97
00:30:08.880 Now, scholars can debate that question until the end of time. I mean, the obvious answer is that black fathers effectively don't exist. I mean, that's what's going on here. That's a big part of it, which is one of the reasons why the racial component has to be talked about. 0.97
00:30:24.540 Number one, because it's just true and we should acknowledge what's true.
00:30:27.580 And number two, because 80% of these kids, of these black kids in cities, grow up in homes without fathers. 0.53
00:30:36.860 I mean, fatherlessness in the black community, you hear about it, but it's like it is apocalyptic. 0.99
00:30:43.340 It's reached apocalyptic proportions. 0.53
00:30:48.240 But that's also academic for now.
00:30:50.280 because as a matter of basic civil liberties, we have a right to live in a country without the
00:30:55.600 constant threat of violence and intimidation, whatever the reasons are for it. Rampant violence
00:31:01.100 by black teenagers or by anyone else is a direct infringement on the civil liberties of millions 0.87
00:31:06.000 of Americans. And therefore, the government must punish the parents who are allowing their children 0.98
00:31:11.060 to engage in these crimes. We've seen white parents, as we talked about before, getting 0.77
00:31:15.540 charged with felonies when their children commit school shootings. That's happened several times.
00:31:20.280 Well, there's no reason why the parent of every teenage rioter in these videos shouldn't be hauled to federal prison.
00:31:28.100 And indeed, at long last, that appears to be the plan.
00:31:30.680 This is from the local ABC affiliate in D.C.
00:31:33.800 Quote, federal prosecutors in Washington say that they will begin charging parents whose children are involved in so-called teen takeovers.
00:31:40.720 The United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, Janine Pirro, announced Friday that her office will step in and prosecute parents, marking what she said would be the first weekend the policy is put into action.
00:31:52.960 Pirro said parents could spend up to six months in jail and that the charge would be contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
00:31:59.240 She said the effort is aimed at stepping in where parents would not.
00:32:04.000 Well, this is a start, but we need to go much further than charging these parents with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
00:32:10.720 we all know that no parent under any circumstance is going to spend six months in jail for allowing
00:32:16.520 their child to participate in one of these riots. I mean, in D.C., carjackers and attempted
00:32:20.760 murderers get out of jail within 24 hours of their arrest. There's simply no chance that a
00:32:26.080 judge in D.C. is going to throw the book at a parent for what is for them a nonviolent crime.
00:32:33.260 Meanwhile, this is how white parents are being handled by the legal system when they fail to
00:32:38.580 prevent violence from their own children. Watch. It is a first in our American legal system. A 0.66
00:32:44.720 judge has sentenced the parents of a Michigan school shooter to up to 15 years in prison
00:32:49.640 for their role in the 2021 killing of four students. Now, the jury found that Jennifer
00:32:55.000 and James Crumley failed to take steps to prevent the mass shooting that was carried out by their
00:32:59.840 son. KTLA's Lauren Lister has more on this historic case. Your Honor, I requested the
00:33:08.040 maximum sentence be enforced, as it will never come close to the life sentence I was given.
00:33:13.280 An emotional statement made in court by a mother of one of the young victims,
00:33:17.140 as both Jennifer and James Crumbly, parents of a Michigan school shooter,
00:33:21.920 were sentenced to prison for their roles. It is the sense of this court, Ms. Crumbly,
00:33:26.160 that you served 10 to 15 years. Both of his parents found guilty of involuntary manslaughter
00:33:31.540 after prosecutors presented evidence of an unsecured gun at home, an indifference towards
00:33:36.560 their son's mental health parents are not expected to be psychic but these convictions are not about
00:33:44.140 poor parenting these convictions confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an
00:33:54.580 oncoming runaway train so they didn't pull the trigger or even encourage their son to pull the
00:33:59.860 trigger, but they're going to go to prison for at least 10 years anyway, which is a higher
00:34:06.040 sentence than some actual murderers receive in this country. Ronald Exantis, who we talked
00:34:10.960 about as a black man, stabbed a six-year-old white boy to death in his bed during a home
00:34:16.480 invasion, and he served less than 10 years in prison. The state released him early after
00:34:21.960 nine years, saying he supposedly had some psychological problems. But they're all better
00:34:26.520 now. So, you know, he's allowed to be back on the street. Meanwhile, the white parents will have to
00:34:31.280 serve a longer sentence, even though they did not directly harm anyone. So nothing like this has
00:34:37.940 ever happened to the parents of, you know, one of these black rioters. Every weekend, dozens of 1.00
00:34:45.260 people are shot in Chicago alone by young black shooters. But the parents are never even questioned, 1.00
00:34:51.360 and much less sentenced to 10 years in prison.
00:34:54.840 And certainly nothing ever happens 0.98
00:34:56.160 to the parents of black rioters or arsonists 0.99
00:34:58.600 or stabbing suspects or anyone else. 0.98
00:35:01.840 So if we're gonna charge white parents 0.75
00:35:03.240 for crimes they didn't even commit, 0.99
00:35:05.880 then we need to start doing the same to black parents 1.00
00:35:08.140 who are responsible for a lot more violence 1.00
00:35:10.140 and bloodshed on a per capita basis.
00:35:13.280 This is a basic function of the government
00:35:15.060 under our constitution.
00:35:16.480 Their responsibility is to maintain order
00:35:18.480 and administer equal justice and right now,
00:35:21.360 they're not doing either. I mean, why do we pay taxes if the government is not going to uphold
00:35:26.740 its end of the bargain in even the most basic ways? If we simply locked up all these lawless
00:35:32.860 criminals along with their parents, which we could do, we'd solve a lot of problems at once.
00:35:40.300 I mean, we wouldn't just fix the crime rate, which would happen very quickly, by the way,
00:35:44.200 as the vast majority of crimes are committed by repeat offenders who never spend any time in jail.
00:35:49.420 We'd also fix the housing problem, or at least we'd take a major step towards fixing it.
00:35:54.840 I mean, at the moment, some of the most valuable properties in the country, which are often within walking distance of urban downtowns, 1.00
00:36:00.620 are currently unlivable because of poor schools and the constant criminal activity by young black men. 1.00
00:36:07.000 If we succeed in making cities safe again, we free up more urban housing. 1.00
00:36:12.740 Wealthy residents might even leave the suburbs for the first time since the civil rights era,
00:36:17.580 which, of course, would make the suburbs more affordable for everybody else.
00:36:22.480 Now, we're conditioned to believe that the cities are a lost cause, but that's just not the case.
00:36:26.920 I mean, the classic example is Rudy Giuliani's administration in New York.
00:36:30.280 He reduced crime by between 60 and 70 percent, and he did it by, if you can imagine it, just enforcing laws.
00:36:37.080 All of them.
00:36:38.560 So if you jumped a subway turnstile, you were arrested.
00:36:41.940 If you sprayed graffiti on a wall, you went to jail.
00:36:44.480 If you looked remotely suspicious, you'd be stopped and frisked.
00:36:47.580 And if you were carrying an illegal gun, you'd go to jail.
00:36:51.760 Now, it's true that the Civil Liberties groups managed to roll back many of Giuliani's achievements.
00:36:56.500 And now, of course, the city is once again a cesspool.
00:36:58.720 But there's a federal solution here, and it's a solution that can work outside of D.C.
00:37:04.440 You know, we have something called the Anti-Riot Act on the books.
00:37:07.560 And as the name implies, it's a federal law against rioting, specifically against inciting, organizing, promoting, or participating in a riot.
00:37:13.840 If somebody uses social media or the internet to plan or encourage a riot, the feds can file charges in terms of imprisonment range from one year to 10, depending on whether anyone's injured or killed in the riot.
00:37:26.820 These are the types of sentences we need to start seeing if we want the riots to stop.
00:37:31.500 And very quickly, the benefits for the entire country would become apparent.
00:37:36.640 Right now, there are people paying $90 a month for cell phone service
00:37:41.200 because they signed up in 2012 and just gave up afterwards.
00:37:45.120 Their wireless company raises the bill every few months.
00:37:47.560 Nobody knows why. Nobody calls to ask.
00:37:49.580 Everyone just accepts it.
00:37:51.080 $104 bill, oh well, must be normal, but it's not,
00:37:54.380 especially when Pure Talk exists.
00:37:56.060 Pure Talk is my wireless company.
00:37:57.640 Right now, they're giving you unlimited high-speed data for just $34.99.
00:38:01.220 The total price is less like a phone bill and more like that of an appetizer at a chain restaurant.
00:38:07.100 Unlimited high-speed data.
00:38:08.820 Pure Talk used to start at $55 a month.
00:38:11.640 Most companies would have raised prices by now three separate times and blamed market conditions.
00:38:16.680 Pure Talk, though, lowered them.
00:38:18.200 So if you looked at Pure Talk before and never switched, check again.
00:38:21.860 And if your instinct is, well, there has to be a catch, there isn't.
00:38:24.860 That's just what happens when a company decides not to charge you like they're funding a space program.
00:38:29.580 Try it for 30 days, no contract, no cancellation fees, no risk.
00:38:33.640 You can switch in as little as 10 minutes.
00:38:35.080 And if you need help, you can actually talk to a real U.S.-based customer service team,
00:38:39.360 not an automated robot voice trying to trap you in an endless loop.
00:38:43.180 Go to puretalk.com slash Walsh to claim unlimited high-speed data for just $34.99.
00:38:48.220 Again, that's puretalk.com slash Walsh to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk.
00:38:54.760 We're approaching the summer, again, before a major election.
00:39:00.680 And historically, this is when Democrats activate their foot soldiers and instruct them to terrorize cities all over the country. 0.63
00:39:05.880 It was highly effective with George Floyd.
00:39:08.140 And they're obviously going to try to do it again.
00:39:10.920 They may come up with a pretext or they might simply encourage these teen takeovers by making excuses for them.
00:39:17.640 Whatever the case, the Trump administration doesn't have to allow it.

00:39:46.820 You know, they hide behind euphemisms like teen takeover because they understand how many tools we have at our disposal to crush riots and anyone who supports them. 0.85
00:39:57.760 Before we all endure another summer of love as part of the Democrats' midterm strategy, we have no choice but to use those tools.
00:40:06.800 And that means throwing a lot of people, including the parents of many black teenagers, in federal prison where they belong.
00:40:14.240 That will do it for the show today
00:40:17.040 And this week, talk to you on Monday
00:40:18.800 Have a great weekend

00:40:32.260 A man who had a vision for a colorblind society 0.74
00:40:36.020 A post-racial America 0.75
00:40:37.620 He had a dream 0.94
00:40:39.580 It's just not the dream you thought it was
00:40:41.920 Were his true aims a colorblind society?
00:40:45.020 Or something far more radical, who bankrolled him?

00:41:25.880 of the civil rights movement and its consequences.
