Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the DNC convention kicks off with a call to unite America.
00:00:05.040
But what does unity look like in the mind of a Democrat?
00:00:07.520
Apparently, it includes rioting and looting and destruction.
00:00:11.680
Also, five headlines, including a college professor who's
00:00:14.180
finally uncovered the sinister nature of coloring books.
00:00:18.640
And finally, in our daily cancellation, we'll talk about the hate crime claim made weeks ago
00:00:25.860
but hasn't been mentioned by the media or law enforcement since.
00:00:32.800
The Democrat convention, as mentioned, kicks off tonight.
00:00:37.620
There are really only a few things I'd rather do than watch the DNC convention.
00:00:49.780
Anyway, I took note of the theme of the convention, which is this, if you can believe it.
00:00:58.160
Now, as I've argued extensively in recent months, uniting unity is nothing more than an empty
00:01:16.660
That's certainly the question you would ask if some weirdo on the street came up to you
00:01:29.220
You'd need more information before you agree to it, is the point.
00:01:32.360
So when I hear Democrats call for unity, I have the same question.
00:01:36.840
I'm pretty sure they don't mean it sexually, though you never know with these people.
00:01:41.780
And that question takes on new urgency when you consider, for example, the words of the
00:01:47.960
squad's Ringo, Ayanna Pressley, being interviewed on MSNBC this weekend.
00:01:57.100
You know, this is as much about public outcry and organizing and mobilizing and applying
00:02:02.260
pressure so that this GOP-led Senate and that these governors that continue to carry water
00:02:07.540
for this administration, putting the American peoples in harm's way, turning a deaf ear to
00:02:14.160
the needs of our families and our communities, hold them accountable.
00:02:19.880
Well, make the phone call, send the email, show up.
00:02:23.000
You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.
00:02:27.220
And unfortunately, there's plenty to go around.
00:02:33.620
Pressley sitting on her comfortable perch far away from the burned out neighborhoods, the
00:02:38.000
boarded up stores, the looting, the rioting, the assaults, the murder, the children in cancer
00:02:42.180
treatment centers, laying in their beds in terror as they listen to the gunshots, as we talked
00:02:46.920
Pressley, insulated from all of that, insulated from the chaos and death and destruction, wants
00:02:55.840
And she's not alone in the Democrat Party, not at all.
00:02:58.260
In fact, her view is mainstream, is more than mainstream, is the only acceptable or only
00:03:03.560
In fact, another example, a few days ago, BLM activists stormed a suburban neighborhood
00:03:08.540
in Seattle and demanded that white people give up their homes.
00:03:14.320
We have up your house, get black people back their homes.
00:03:19.580
We're sitting there comfortably, comfortable as f*****, and in many houses by this neighborhood.
00:03:31.900
Are you sitting up there having a big problem with your other white friends?
00:03:40.060
Because the majority of people that live in the Central District now work for Amazon
00:03:43.700
because it's an easier commute to down town for.
00:03:47.540
The guy you work for is part of the f***** problem, too.
00:03:52.000
So, let's not act like you just are oblivious to this s***** because you knew about it all
00:03:59.680
We're not, and we're bringing it to your front f***** door.
00:04:02.440
So what the f***** are you planning to do about it?
00:04:10.060
And now we're turning the lights off because we called you a gentrifier.
00:04:19.700
How do you plan to re-gentrify a black neighborhood that you, you, I was still part of gentrifying
00:04:27.720
You notice how having a good job is literally a joke to these people.
00:04:32.000
You guys have jobs at Amazon where you support your families.
00:04:36.440
But what you have here really is a gang of overgrown children, a gang of clowns and losers
00:04:42.660
demanding that they simply be given what other people have worked for.
00:04:46.040
Now, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was recently asked about this incident by reporters, asked if
00:04:53.720
she condemns what these BLM children are doing.
00:04:59.160
Since this is happening in Seattle, I don't have as close of a view on what's happening.
00:05:03.000
Of course, I represent New York's 14th congressional district, so I don't know the details of the
00:05:07.860
But I think what's really important is that we make sure people are safe and it's important
00:05:11.140
for us to enact legislation and policy that actually addresses the core reason behind
00:05:14.500
all of this kind of disruption that's happening.
00:05:17.340
And then she added, until we do that, this is going to keep occurring, whether we want
00:05:28.780
Now, let's look at some other examples of this unrest in the street that the Democrat
00:05:40.540
A BLM mob caused a man to crash his truck, then knocked him unconscious, and left him bleeding
00:05:50.360
Let's back up a little bit and see how this all began.
00:05:57.400
The truck drives away, and in the chaos, ends up crashing.
00:06:51.620
okay so so you see that and then they go to the car the guy gets out or is dragged out and i'm
00:07:05.300
not sure which one at which point he's he's held hostage by the people by these people detained is
00:07:10.340
the word i've seen used in the media they detained him as if they're police officers and then they
00:08:34.680
and after all of that of course they robbed his truck because uh why not all in the name of
00:08:44.720
justice okay just so you know and because of you know george floyd or whatever now again the
00:08:51.340
democrat party explicitly supports this it's not just that they won't condemn it which they won't
00:08:56.300
of course but that they as you heard from ringo they positively advocate for it so we go back to
00:09:04.300
original question what do they mean by unity they want to unite america well how so unite us all in
00:09:11.760
our shared affection for beating white men unconscious is that the idea well sort of yeah
00:09:17.580
for democrats when they say unite if you do not share their ideology and affirm it absolutely
00:09:23.620
and especially if you're not an approved if you're not in an approved victim group then they're not
00:09:30.020
looking to unite with you but rather to unite around a shared hatred of you for the left and
00:09:35.700
democrats the uniting principle is one of vengeance and hatred and it's vengeance against and hatred
00:09:43.100
of you that is their unity why do you think they won't stand for the anthem because it's too
00:09:47.960
inclusive oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave over the land of the free the home of the brave
00:09:51.800
that's far too unifying it includes too many people that's their beef with it when it comes
00:09:57.540
down to it so a unity convention for democrats is like a dinner party for cannibals they may invite
00:10:04.760
you to the table but it's only because you're on the menu unity for them is highly specific highly
00:10:10.920
exclusionary and anyone who doesn't pass the litmus test is an other a villain and they are deserving of
00:10:17.920
any fate that befalls them including being knocked unconscious in the street that is the democrat
00:10:23.540
party that is what it stands for that's the vision it has for this country and we have seen the vision
00:10:30.520
increasingly realized recently voters now just have to decide if they want more of that now let's get to
00:10:40.620
our five headlines well the show today is uh supported by rad power bikes you know getting
00:10:52.520
getting out and about is that's something especially when the weather is nice like this that you want to
00:10:56.460
be able to do um and uh you know maybe start to start cooling down a little bit we get into the fall
00:11:01.760
great time to be out and about well that's what you need an electric bike for uh whether you know you
00:11:06.660
want a new way to get around town or out in nature even with the kids in tow whatever it is you've got
00:11:11.240
to try a rad power bike just give it a try and you'll be you'll be hooked trust me it's a cross
00:11:15.000
between a traditional bike and a moped but it doesn't require a special driver's license or anything
00:11:19.820
like that you can go up to 20 miles per hour without pedaling so you can get out and about without
00:11:23.440
getting all sweaty and so that means they're great for you know commuting to work so you're not
00:11:27.060
showing up at work sweaty and disgusting i think your your co-workers were will appreciate that or you can
00:11:33.400
haul groceries like i said you can even have kids on the back unlike other e-bikes they're actually
00:11:38.060
affordable plus to show appreciation for those that service rad power bikes is offering a hundred
00:11:41.820

00:12:17.960
the word bike to 64 000 that's bike to 64 000 text bike to 64 000 all right number one let me start
00:12:26.140
with this um first of all can i just say at the outset that i i i love controversies as much as the
00:12:34.320
next guy more than the next guy probably i live for it it's great people fighting disagreeing getting
00:12:41.080
all offended about stuff i'm into it i really am but every once in a while a controversy pops up
00:12:49.160
that i just can't get into i can't bring myself to care and we are in one of those news cycles right
00:12:55.640
now and it's really killing me this postal service stuff there's a lot of controversy surrounding the
00:13:02.020
postal service and mail-in voting and i i i can't even continue talking about it right now because i
00:13:08.720
might fall asleep in the middle of of speaking that's how boring it is to me i've tried working
00:13:12.880
myself up about it i really have i've i've practiced it i was in the more the mirror this morning
00:13:17.440
practicing like getting angry ah this the postal service ah i'm so angry and i couldn't i just
00:13:25.400
couldn't do it i tried so um here i am left out while people care about this for 37 seconds
00:13:32.440
but it's a torturous 37 seconds because i feel so excluded but all of that said i did appreciate
00:13:38.400
this at least this was um the the closest i could come to being interested which is right here
00:13:45.120
you can see the footage a protest at the postmaster general's house these are people who are concerned
00:13:52.360
that their ability to vote by mail is being blocked by trump and the general i don't know if he's a real
00:13:57.460
general but uh anyway that's what i call him but the funny thing of course is that they want to do
00:14:03.640
mail-in voting because they don't want to have to go out in public and vote because they're afraid of
00:14:08.400
the virus yet they're out in public in a large group protesting that they might have to be out
00:14:14.660
in public in a much smaller group to vote so it's just it's it's this is really this is part of the
00:14:21.380
scientific discovery process that's been very interesting uh really really fascinating frankly
00:14:27.560
to learn more and more about this virus each day because at first we thought you know it's a virus
00:14:33.480
uh it can infect anyone really you know certain demographics are not as susceptible of course like
00:14:39.600
children but you know you figure like it's it's sort of it's just a virus you know that and that's
00:14:46.120
what you think but then then we learned that it really only infects you at church at school uh
00:14:52.500
or during anti-lockdown protests or while voting in person but it doesn't infect you at walmart at
00:15:00.820
target at blm protests or while protesting voting in person so like i said fascinating stuff and this
00:15:09.220
is why i just love science i love learning things like this it really is just a lot of fun number two
00:15:16.400
here's a better controversy this is more my speed father james martin uh jesuit of course is going to
00:15:22.160
be speaking at the dnc i think on thursday martin despite being a catholic priest is known for his
00:15:27.940
far left activism uh and in fact as a catholic it pains me to say that we might be reaching a point
00:15:36.320
where i don't need to say despite anymore in that sentence but anyway um this is the guy for example
00:15:42.380
who sent out a tweet after george floyd died asking for george floyd to intercede for us in heaven
00:15:48.860
he literally tried to canonize george floyd via tweet he's also a big lgbt activist big into leftist
00:15:56.140
causes in general so on one level it makes sense for him to speak at the dnc but on another level
00:16:01.680
he's allegedly a catholic and allegedly a priest um and you can't really be either of those in good
00:16:08.820
standing and have anything to do with the modern democrat party the modern democrat party is expressly
00:16:13.900
opposed to catholic teaching christian teaching biblical teaching and there are of course many
00:16:19.100
examples of this but we don't need to go any further than the democrat party's stated official
00:16:23.480
position that children in the womb at any stage and for any reason can be executed so martin should
00:16:33.000
be defrocked and excommunicated for this he won't be of course but uh he should be number three a few
00:16:38.120
weeks ago i had to cancel ryan reynolds because he issued a public apology for getting married at a
00:16:46.720
wedding venue um that uh you know you almost we might be reaching a point where i could just stop
00:16:53.480
the sentence there where you're gonna have celebrities apologizing at least heterosexual
00:16:59.740
celebrities apologizing for getting married in general i we we might we might be reaching that
00:17:05.460
point but we're not there yet so he got he apologized for for getting married at a wedding venue
00:17:09.600
that used to be a slave plantation 150 years ago he apologized for that for some reason because
00:17:16.140
apparently now you know you you can't uh even if a place is a very pretty venue and there's a lot of
00:17:21.860
great scenery if bad stuff happened there a century and a half ago you're not allowed to get married
00:17:27.140
there um so you know before you get married anywhere or really go do anything anywhere like go for a
00:17:34.080
picnic anything um you need to research do wikipedia go to google maybe do an archaeological dig to see
00:17:40.080
what happened and then you can have your picnic um but now reynolds is begging to be canceled again
00:17:47.240
really the premier of british columbia for some reason held a press conference begging ryan reynolds
00:17:53.200
and seth rogan to help him fight the coronavirus because of course in a medical crisis the people you want
00:18:00.080
to call are the guy from deadpool and the guy from knocked up uh here's here's the premier
00:18:05.880
i've been talking about the importance of making sure that younger uh demographics are hearing the
00:18:12.120
message this is a a call out to deadpool right now uh ryan we need your help up here uh get in touch
00:18:18.000
with us uh my numbers uh on the internet uh seth rogan another outstanding british columbian we need to
00:18:23.540
communicate with people who aren't hearing us the two of you alone could help us in that regard
00:18:27.800
there's a host of other options available and we're working as hard as we can to enlist a number
00:18:32.440
of prominent british columbians and prominent canadians to help get that message through to
00:18:37.240
the demographic that clearly isn't hearing our message now reynolds in true cringe fashion
00:18:42.860
responded with for some reason a fake voicemail uh and this is what that sounded like
00:18:48.980
oh uh hey uh premier horgan ryan reynolds here uh i got your message about the thing
00:18:56.540
uh i'm not sure it's a great idea frankly uh people don't i don't think they want medical
00:19:02.920
advice from guys like me no sir um unless it's plastic surgery which a lot of people don't know
00:19:10.400
this but i used to be hugh jackman uh you know in young folks in bc yeah they're they're partying
00:19:16.620
um which is of course dangerous uh and they probably don't know that that thousands of young people
00:19:22.920
aren't just getting sick from coronavirus that they're they're also dying from it too
00:19:26.360
uh and of course it's the terrible that it affects our most vulnerable you know bc is that's home to
00:19:33.120
some of the coolest older people on earth i mean david suzuki that he lives there my mom i mean she
00:19:39.400
doesn't want to be cooped up in her apartment all day she wants to be out there cruising kitzlano
00:19:44.520
beach looking for some young 30 something abercrombie burnout to go full mrs robinson on
00:19:49.760
she is insatiable but here's the thing um i hope that young people in bc don't kill my mom
00:19:57.480
frankly uh or david suzuki or each other i let's not let's not kill anyone i think that's reasonable
00:20:04.320
uh and you know but i i just i i don't think that i'm the guy to deliver this message i love
00:20:09.480
parties i mean the the my favorite thing to do is just you know sit alone in my room with a glass
00:20:15.320
of gin and the first 32 seasons of gossip girl that's a party threw my shoulder out the last time
00:20:22.800
i did that no one is going to kill your mother ryan you paranoid lunatic how people are partying
00:20:31.560
okay um if your mom's not going to those parties then she should be all right uh you know if she's
00:20:43.400
going out and if you know if she's practicing social distancing wearing the mask i you know it's it's i i
00:20:50.520
don't think they're gonna kill your mom i think i think it should be really okay uh especially if
00:20:56.520
she's out on the beach um out in the you know open air keeping a distance i think everything will be
00:21:04.600
fine um number four here's a a report from the new york post it says uh twitter is raging over a
00:21:15.040
supposed call to cancel genghis khan all prompted by a woman who had merely pointed out that the fearless
00:21:20.900
12th century mongol conqueror had also killed an awful lot of people uh this is tweeted from user
00:21:26.480
priya 27 said genghis khan did to central asia what islamic invaders did to india may be worse
00:21:32.340
he single-handedly killed 11 of the world population at the time yet some want to glorify
00:21:37.380
him as a hero and conqueror that's your personal choice but objectively genghis khan was a barbarian
00:21:42.720
i i saw these tweets now this is this is tweeted out uh i thought it was some interesting facts and
00:21:47.560
points that were made uh that the 11 of the world population figure i'd have to you know that's
00:21:52.860
that seems rather incredible i'd have to go check that one myself but anyway that's uh he
00:21:59.220
certainly killed a lot of people we know that and uh and then people were mocking this though as if
00:22:03.620
she was trying to cancel genghis khan posthumously um i don't think that was the point at all you know
00:22:08.980
i i i i think actually at least one thing you could take from this is that it turns out uh in fact that
00:22:16.840
white people did not invent wars of conquest did not invent genocide uh did not invent slavery
00:22:24.240
all that stuff had been happening in the world has been happening in the world for thousands and
00:22:29.700
thousands and thousands of years this is just one example i don't know if that was her point
00:22:32.720
but that is that is one historical fact that you can take from this and to put things in context
00:22:39.780
and i think especially these days that is some useful context to have and finally um let's see
00:22:46.380
here this is a report in the daily wire i actually haven't read through this yet i'm just grabbing it
00:22:50.720
based on the headline so let's dive in it says in a piece originally titled there's a sinister reason
00:22:56.380
coloring books are so popular in quarantine a professor who teaches the history of the history of
00:23:01.100
art ideas and technology at stanford university and also writes for the guardian in vogue
00:23:04.600
posits a unique take what if the recent popularity of coloring books comes not from the
00:23:10.260
creativity they purportedly inspire but from the submission they induce
00:23:14.780
in the in the piece later retitled the dark forgotten history of coloring books
00:23:20.820
uh emmanuel luguli asserts this after all has been their mission from the start it may be lost to the
00:23:28.120
fans of coloring books that their success peaked in the 19th century when such publications taught
00:23:32.520
children how to behave and obedience seems to be what many of us crave in these pandemic days
00:23:37.620
um noting yeah of course that it may be lost to the fans of color well the fans of coloring books for
00:23:44.020
the most part are seven years old so yes i'm sure this is lost on them i mean my seven year old has
00:23:49.140
never asked me about the history of coloring books i'd be a little freaked out if she did noting that the
00:23:56.400
the little folks painting book often described as the first coloring book which depicts in its last
00:24:00.680
story a brother and sister who wished to fly away from their boring secluded life um luguli asks uh
00:24:06.880
does this sum up sum up what coloring books are about stay within the lines and then all right it goes
00:24:12.940
on so okay this is this is as crazy as i hoped it would be so i'm i'm encouraged by that and i like
00:24:20.180
where it's going my only concern is that it doesn't go quite far enough yes coloring books teach
00:24:26.960
submission um so there's that but what about i mean they also teach a form of blackface and cultural
00:24:35.880
appropriation because think about it you're taking these white characters usually and coloring them
00:24:41.280
much like ralph northam you're taking these pasty white uh figures and putting artificial color on
00:24:48.720
them so i think that this encourages children to perform blackface not only that but coloring books are
00:24:55.840
transphobic because for for some reason that i'm i'm big oh because they they trivialize
00:25:08.520
by allowing you to change the physical characteristics of the characters in the coloring book so easily
00:25:16.460
thereby cheapening the lived experience of dysmorphic individuals
00:25:22.340
got it okay so you can add on to this this this so i'm a little bit disappointed by this professor
00:25:28.920
yeah you found one offensive aspect of coloring books but what about everything else so you got to go
00:25:34.960
you you really got to go for the gusto on these things um all right let's get to our daily
00:25:40.060
cancellation but before we do i want to tell you about our friends at eero um you know it can be it
00:25:47.280
can be kind of frustrating if there's that and i've got more than one spot in my house to be honest
00:25:52.100
before i started using euro where you get maybe one or two spots in your house where the wi-fi really
00:25:57.020
doesn't work that well or you might have the one spot where it works the best and so you have to be
00:26:00.680
huddled in that corner using your your uh your laptop or whatever these days your house isn't just
00:26:05.600
your home it's an office it's a school it's a movie theater it's a restaurant everything all at once
00:26:09.500
all these activities and more put a strain on your wi-fi it's not good enough um if it's only good in a room
00:26:15.800
or two you want it to reach the entire house you need solid wi-fi in your whole house so everyone
00:26:20.140
isn't working on top of each other that's why you need euro euro and amazon company covers your your
00:26:25.120
whole home with fast reliable wi-fi inside and out rooms with bad to no wi-fi if you have dropouts
00:26:31.640
on your patio you want to go outside and use the computer euro makes every square foot of your house
00:26:36.960
and your property usable by eliminating poor coverage and dead spots you'll have a consistently
00:26:42.140
strong signal wherever you need it it's that simple um i've been using it myself and uh and you
00:26:49.200
know i've i've found especially where we kind of live out you know um in in in an area where a lot
00:26:56.080
of people have to struggle with the wi-fi connection but ever since i've used the euro you know it's fast
00:27:00.080
i can use it anywhere i can go out on the porch um during a nice day and use the computer and i've got
00:27:04.940

00:27:27.740
to do uh this is the case for all of my cancellations in fact to everyone that i've canceled you should
00:27:32.920
know that it hurts me more than it hurts you i am at heart a truly compassionate and tolerant man
00:27:38.320
so it grieves me when you are so lame and stupid that i have to cancel you deeply deeply grieves me
00:27:45.740
and never has that been truer than right now today i must cancel um the police department of madison
00:27:53.120
wisconsin i am a supporter of the police i i hate the defund the police movement i've spent a lot of
00:28:00.020
time especially recently defending the police against unfair attacks but the madison police must
00:28:06.460
be canceled even so and i'll explain why um it stems from a case that i've been following on the
00:28:11.740
show even if nobody else really has i i follow it because i am of the increasingly unique and perhaps
00:28:17.940
bizarre opinion that the truth matters and in this day and age when lies and misinformation and
00:28:23.960
propaganda and false narratives are helping to fuel the rapid destruction of our society the truth has
00:28:29.780
never mattered more i would say so let's review briefly uh the case is that of althea bernstein
00:28:36.320
18 year old madison wisconsin resident seven weeks ago on june 24th althea bernstein claims
00:28:42.300
she was driving through the city at 1 a.m stopped at a red light uh she thinks around west gorham and
00:28:48.820
state street in in madison and she says that at that moment four white men um approached her vehicle
00:28:56.620
two were wearing floral shirts and jeans the other two were dressed in all black and wearing masks
00:29:00.920
somehow she knew those two were white also i don't know how but that's not the point right now
00:29:04.340
she says they yelled a racial slurder then squirted some lighter fluid on her and then threw a lighter
00:29:11.260
into the car which set her face on fire and she says that she then drove away in shock eventually made
00:29:18.020
it home went to the hospital called the police the next day now the media went wild with this story at
00:29:24.260
first it made headlines in all the major publications it was used to support the claim of a hate crime
00:29:29.320
epidemic in america megan markle called althea and spoke with her for 40 minutes consoling and
00:29:35.880
offering advice because of course megan has had to deal with hate crimes herself like the time that
00:29:39.860
the maid left streaks on the window after washing it so she suffered quite a bit in her life the point
00:29:45.060
is and and this was a pretty big deal at the time and and of course it would be if it happened
00:29:50.560
four flame-throwing racist thugs wandering the street of madison with lighter fluid literally
00:29:56.560
literally setting black women on fire that's a huge deal i mean it's it's it's almost
00:30:02.640
unbelievable you might say of course there were always some weird aspects of this story such as
00:30:09.460
like every aspect of the story it was the middle of the night she's at a stoplight these guys show up
00:30:16.640
with lighter fluid what were they doing just hanging out in the street waiting for a racial minority to
00:30:20.800
stop they doused her with lighter fluid and then and then and then the lighter and then and then she
00:30:25.060
drove away why didn't she drive away at some point in the middle of this whole process which must have
00:30:30.300
taken several seconds at least to unfold and and how did the lighter even stay lit as it was thrown not
00:30:35.680
to mention where is that lighter now does she have it it must have landed in the car right
00:30:40.340
and well look at the the picture of her of her injuries this is strange she said that her face was
00:30:46.500
on fire is that what burn marks look like after your face has been ignited i don't know maybe it's never
00:30:53.180
happened to me admittedly but doesn't look exactly like what you would expect but then where are the
00:31:00.420
witnesses to this attack it happened in the middle of the city a busy part of town sure it was the middle
00:31:05.540
of the night but even so did no one else see this happen did no one else have a a run-in with this
00:31:11.000
group of violent fire-wielding nazis did they come out at a 1 a.m with the lighter fluid attack one
00:31:16.580
person and disappear forever surely someone else saw them surely they had a run-in with someone else
00:31:22.580
other than althea bernstein and what about cameras red light cameras security cameras cell phone cameras
00:31:28.080
surely this was caught on tape somewhere and even if not surely these guys this group are on video
00:31:32.820
walking to the scene or or leaving it it just seems like this should be a very very easy case to crack
00:31:39.580
you should have the fingerprints on the lighter that must have landed in althea's car you should have
00:31:44.400
some kind of video you should have some kind of witness unless these were special ops clansmen who
00:31:51.440
rappelled down from a helicopter then vanished into the night like highly trained navy seals
00:31:55.580
there would be lots of evidence left behind and yet oddly enough we've heard nothing about this case
00:32:03.260
since it happened no video has been released no witnesses have come forward no one so far as i know
00:32:09.080
on social media has said hey i you know i saw these guys i thought it was weird how they were lugging
00:32:13.720
lighter fluid around at 1 a.m nothing well i shouldn't say nothing amanda presser jockham at the daily
00:32:19.840
wire has the update uh such as it is quoting from a report in the wisconsin state journal
00:32:25.300
which reached out to the madison police last week and here's what spokesman joel despain said as an
00:32:31.700
update this is the latest we've gotten uh the the update is there is nothing new to release at this
00:32:37.680
time that's it that's all they said okay well thanks joel but how is there no new information it's been
00:32:44.140
seven weeks did you check the tapes did you talk to witnesses there's got to be some information
00:32:49.440
there right and if you check the tapes and talk to people and witnesses and came up with nothing
00:32:53.340
then that also is information really important information but you say nothing no information
00:33:00.640
one way or another you've been investigating this for seven weeks and you know absolutely nothing at
00:33:05.500
all about it really how here's another weird thing about this there was a confirmed arson attack that
00:33:15.880
same night only it was carried out not by racist and floral shirts but by protesters at the city
00:33:23.080
county building which when you know it is only about a mile from where althea says this happened
00:33:27.400
is there a connection who knows but you know you could see how a person involved in an arson attack
00:33:33.160
might get burned and then how they might not want to tell people that's how they got burned
00:33:37.240
in fact the police released an image of one of the people involved in the attack on the building
00:33:42.080
that night um notice how they released the footage or the image of this right away yet seven weeks
00:33:49.740
later and there's no image of althea's attackers but anyway look what he's using there it almost looks
00:33:54.400
like lighter fluid i don't know look i'm just working through this it's not like we're given anything to
00:34:01.420
go on here so i really don't know i'm just sort of trying to figure it out but it seems to me
00:34:07.140
this is where we're left and why the madison police department is canceled you know when it comes
00:34:12.300
down to it either racist psychopaths who tried to burn a woman alive in the middle of the street
00:34:19.400
are still out there in the community hunting for their next victim and the madison police department
00:34:24.840
is doing nothing to stop them and hasn't released any footage of them or even a composite sketch or
00:34:30.460
anything else and is thus putting lives in danger through their inaction or this is a hoax a really
00:34:39.320
deranged hoax and possibly a hoax concocted to cover for another crime and the police department
00:34:44.580
knows this or strongly suspects it but isn't telling us and is covering for the hoaxer those really seem
00:34:51.400
to be the only plausible scenarios and i'd say that one is far more plausible than the other so
00:34:57.020
either way whatever the truth is here the madison police department is not being honest
00:35:03.000
is not being straightforward is trying to cover something is not doing their duty and thus is
00:35:10.280
canceled hate to do it but they are they've left me no choice uh and i still for one would like to
00:35:19.200
know the truth about this case i don't know about you but i would like to know one way or another
00:35:24.680
