Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left and BLM continue to be outraged over a cop who saved
00:00:05.080
a black woman from being stabbed to death. They say the cop had no right to shoot someone just
00:00:09.220
because they were trying to stab another person. This is yet another example of the left's total
00:00:13.420
rejection of personal responsibility. So today I want to talk about that. I want to talk about
00:00:17.420
personal responsibility as it relates to these police shootings. Also, five headlines, including
00:00:21.800
the White House releasing one of the most repugnant and irresponsible public statements
00:00:25.740
we've ever heard from a White House. And I don't think that's an exaggeration. Speaking of repugnant
00:00:29.980
and irresponsible, LeBron James doxes the cop in the Micaiah Bryant shooting. Also, a female
00:00:35.560
athlete sues after she was benched and forced off her soccer team when she refused to take a knee
00:00:41.060
in solidarity with BLM and our daily cancellation. And so much more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:53.440
Well, as the outrage of protests over the shooting of Micaiah Bryant in Columbus, Ohio reaches its
00:00:58.680
third day now. We've come to a point that few were probably expecting. Many on the left, including
00:01:04.500
quite prominent people on the left, which we'll talk about later on, have decided that although we
00:01:10.040
still should not have the right to bear arms, we should and do have the right to stab each other
00:01:15.680
with large kitchen knives. Or at least some of us have that right. It's now clear, of course, and was
00:01:22.420
clear from the moment the body cam footage was released, that Micaiah Bryant, though she was only 16 years old,
00:01:27.320
sadly brought her death on herself by attempting to stab another person and doing it right in front
00:01:34.380
of a police officer. That's one of the best ways to get yourself shot by a cop is to try to kill
00:01:39.700
someone in front of a cop. And that cop had arrived on the scene because of reports that somebody was
00:01:47.040
trying to stab people. The shooting was not, it's not only justified, but it's a, it's a textbook
00:01:52.480
justified shooting. This should literally be in textbooks at the police academy to show what a
00:01:58.560
justified shooting looks like. Yet, as we've discussed, the left really asks only two things.
00:02:05.280
There's only two things they care about. When, when any, anytime somebody dies, what they want to know
00:02:09.220
is, was it a cop who killed that person? And was the person black? If the answer is yes on both counts,
00:02:16.100
then by hook or crook or butcher knife, they'll find a way to condemn the officer as not only a murderer,
00:02:21.260
but a racist murderer. And this time it has led them to claiming that knife fights, quote unquote,
00:02:27.720
are just a normal part of growing up. This is a normal thing, a bit of childish mischief.
00:02:35.520
You know, your mom would yell out to you when you're out in the backyard, hey, you guys aren't
00:02:39.420
having another knife fight, are you? Knock off with those hijinks. That's, no, no, no, we don't do any
00:02:43.420
knife fights. Who among us has not tried to stab someone else in the gut with a large blade,
00:02:49.320
they ask. Let he who has never attempted to stab someone cast the first stone. And then
00:02:55.840
they're surprised when millions of stones rain down on them because most of us have never tried to do
00:03:00.420
that. So two examples of this talking point should suffice, I think. And there was a lot of this
00:03:06.260
yesterday, but let's just go with two examples. Valerie Jarrett, an Obama lackey, tweeted this
00:03:12.380
yesterday. She said, a black teenage girl named Micaiah Bryant was killed because a police officer
00:03:17.400
immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight. Demand
00:03:22.980
accountability. Fight for justice. Hashtag Black Lives Matter. Activist Brie Newsome had this to say.
00:03:29.240
She said, teenagers have been fighting, have been, have been having fights, including fights involving
00:03:36.240
knives for eons. Wait, let me back up. Teenagers have been having fights, including fights involving
00:03:41.980
knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene and
00:03:48.080
using a weapon against one of these teenagers. Okay, the first problem here, the first problem
00:03:54.500
here is that it's completely bonkers. The second is that this was not a knife fight. I don't mean to
00:03:59.660
get all technical, but this was a person with a knife trying to stab somebody who didn't have a knife.
00:04:05.460
So that's not a knife fight. That's what we generally in the business will call attempted murder,
00:04:09.140
right? The third problem is that knife fights are not normal teenage activities. Unless you're living
00:04:16.140
in the West Side Story, this is not a normal part of growing up. Now, I could say I grew up in a school
00:04:22.200
system where fights were unfortunately common, but I never saw anyone get stabbed. I've never even seen
00:04:30.820
someone wield a knife in anger in my entire life. You know, the only, I cut myself once accidentally
00:04:38.440
while trying to whittle an arrow out of a tree branch. Long story, don't ask. That's all of the
00:04:45.560
knife-related carnage that I personally have ever witnessed. Maybe I've lived a sheltered life, I don't
00:04:51.000
know. Maybe kids are out there dueling it out with sharpened blades on a regular basis. You know, I played
00:04:57.020
kickball as a kid, dodgeball, tag, pickup basketball. It never occurred to me to add a stabbing element to
00:05:05.660
any of these games. But again, maybe that's just me. And if leftists grew up in an environment where
00:05:11.660
kids were constantly stabbing each other, I find that hard to believe, but it would also explain a
00:05:16.220
lot. But this is the absurdity the left reduces itself to. And the reason, aside from the racial
00:05:24.160
narrative, which they're trying to establish, and the anti-police, anti-law and order narrative, all of
00:05:29.680
which we've talked about many times, and we'll continue to talk about. But underneath all of that
00:05:34.140
is a rejection of personal responsibility. It's funny because they say accountability.
00:05:44.360
Valerie Jarrett said, we need accountability. That's exactly what you don't want. Because what
00:05:49.840
they're really saying is that it's not Micaiah Bryant's fault that she was trying to stab someone.
00:05:54.360
It wasn't Dante Wright's fault that he committed armed robbery, and then there was a warrant for
00:06:02.840
his arrest, and then he resisted arrest and got shot in the prison. It wasn't Jacob Blake's fault.
00:06:06.800
It wasn't George Floyd's fault. It's on and on and on. It's none of their faults. The fault cannot rest
00:06:11.480
with any of those individuals or anyone close to them. It must be deflected out, projected, pinned on the
00:06:19.940
system, the police, white supremacy, America. That's where all of the blame and the fault and
00:06:28.320
the responsibility, it sort of disperses out like that. This is a really insidious and harmful thing,
00:06:34.280
not just to the people being unjustly faulted for the actions of others, but for the people who aren't
00:06:39.320
being faulted. It's damaging there, too. For people who are being deprived of agency.
00:06:45.140
Now, you could point out that Micaiah Bryant was a kid in foster care. She was 16.
00:06:51.100
She had a rough life, presumably, you know. She didn't have guidance in the home. She didn't have
00:06:56.180
moral formation. She didn't have any of these things that a child needs. Her mother was in front of TV
00:07:01.240
cameras minutes after she was killed. I mean, right away, the mom was out in front of TV cameras
00:07:07.600
talking about what an angel her daughter was, but her mother apparently wasn't raising her.
00:07:13.500
She wasn't in the home with her own daughter. None of this takes all of the fault away from the
00:07:19.740
person wielding the knife, no matter how old or young they happen to be, but it does put it in
00:07:24.720
a certain context. And it does mean that you can't put all of the blame on the kid, right? But then
00:07:31.100
who does get the blame? The cop? The guy who showed up to stop someone from getting stabbed to death?
00:07:39.340
No. Responsibility for an individual's actions has to rest with the individual and those closest to
00:07:50.180
them, those exerting the greatest influence over their actions, those who are directly responsible
00:07:56.000
for them. So for a child, that means the parents, the family. Beyond that, there's even some blame,
00:08:03.120
a lot of times that you could put some of the blame on the community. In this case, what was the
00:08:09.540
community around Micaiah Bryant doing? There were, it looked like there were community members there
00:08:16.180
before the cops came. Did they try to intervene? Even just verbally? Did they step up to preserve the
00:08:24.680
lives of these kids? If you watch the body cam footage, there's what looks to be an adult male
00:08:32.100
there. I don't know who he is or how he's related to this. And it also looks like he's in the process
00:08:38.040
of trying to stomp on another girl who had just been pushed over. That's what it appears. I mean,
00:08:44.360
it doesn't seem like this guy, whoever he is, it doesn't seem like he's trying to diffuse the
00:08:49.300
situation at all. Maybe we'll put some responsibility with him. In the case of Adam Toledo, the 13-year-old
00:08:56.480
shot by police after going off with his gang friends to shoot at passing cars at 3 a.m.
00:09:02.740
We know that his dad didn't live with him. His mom didn't even report that he was missing when he
00:09:07.180
had left the house two days before and didn't come home. And the older guys in the community,
00:09:15.420
he was hanging out with a 21-year-old guy, this 13-year-old, who he was shooting guns with.
00:09:20.660
So that guy and the other people in his gang, rather than being good role models, that's what
00:09:26.320
they're doing with him. They are inducting him into this kind of lifestyle. So there's a lot of
00:09:29.840
responsibility there. See, all of it falls on localized groups of individuals, and none of them
00:09:37.080
are wearing badges. Speaking of community, there was a mass shooting, which you probably didn't hear
00:09:43.580
about. At a child's birthday party in Louisiana a few days ago, six kids were shot, including a 12-year-old
00:09:53.080
boy. Dozens and dozens of people were there. Cops think that two groups of guys were feuding,
00:10:00.320
and that's where the shooting started. But nobody will talk to the cops.
00:10:05.080
No one at the party, no one around is talking to the cops. No one will step up for the sake of
00:10:14.700
these injured kids and make sure that justice is done. The criminals are protected, covered for.
00:10:21.520
The lives of the children are not prioritized. Justice is not prioritized. That becomes a priority
00:10:28.820
only when a cop is pulling the trigger. Personal responsibility is rejected. Denied. Individuals
00:10:35.860
not wanting to be responsible for their own behavior. Parents not wanting to be responsible
00:10:39.480
for their children. Communities not wanting to be responsible for themselves. That's the theme here.
00:10:44.360
And it's a problem that can be found culture-wide, country-wide. You know, the left has sowed the seeds
00:10:50.240
for this. The left has worked for decades to instill in people's minds that they're not responsible for
00:10:57.100
their own actions. That their destiny is not under their own control. That all bad things that happen
00:11:02.020
to them are somebody else's fault. That they are a victim. And only in embracing that victim mentality
00:11:09.420
can they find freedom and power. That's what the left tells everybody. And millions of Americans have
00:11:16.060
taken that to heart. That's the message that's been destroying our civilization. You can't have a
00:11:22.380
functioning civilization of people who won't be accountable for their own actions, for their own
00:11:26.820
choices, for their own behavior. It can't work. It's not working. Look, personal responsibility,
00:11:33.740
it's not just a buzzword. It's a beautiful thing. It's an empowering thing.
00:11:41.620
It's not just what leads to success in life, though it does. You can't really have success
00:11:46.920
until you take ownership of your own failures and faults. But more than that, it leads to fulfillment
00:11:53.660
and meaning and purpose and happiness. There's no meaning in a life that you are not responsible
00:12:01.260
for. If you're just a passive participant, a spectator of your own existence, then there's
00:12:08.600
no point to it. There's no joy to be found in it. There's no meaning to be discovered. There's only
00:12:12.580
nihilism and despair. And we have a whole lot of that in our culture. In our cities. Everywhere.
00:12:18.500
Everywhere. That's how it's going to be. Until people, all people, embrace the sort of frightening
00:12:24.840
but profound truth that you are a human being. You have agency. You decide what you will do.
00:12:31.300
It's your decision. You have control over your own life. So take control. That has to be the
00:12:41.120
message. Now let's get to our five headlines. The show today is brought to you by MyPillow.

00:14:27.820
Austin, giving my talk, Delusions of Gender, How the Left Turns Boys into Girls. Again, you know,
00:14:36.460
I expect in Austin for my presence and the subject of the talk to receive a very warm welcome. We'll
00:14:44.600
see. So I'm looking forward to that. You know, flying, I just can't, the only problem, I'm excited
00:14:53.120
to be, to be out and speaking again in front of actual crowds of living people. And I'm hoping to
00:14:59.240
do more of that, you know, after the whole speaking circuit was shut down for over a year, basically.
00:15:05.880
But flying has always been a challenge for me. Now, even more so when you have to wear a mask the
00:15:11.580
whole time. And also it's become, I don't know, I can't explain why it bothers me so much, but it
00:15:17.920
just does. When I'm sitting, this happened to me yesterday, flying out to Austin, pretty short
00:15:23.220
flight, but, you know, I'm sitting on the aisle seat and it's, this is the other thing that always
00:15:30.280
happens to me. There's no one sitting in the middle and I'm thinking, thank God, you know, we lucked out.
00:15:37.140
We're one of the only, every other middle seat is filled. We get the empty middle seat. This is going
00:15:41.640
to be great. I got elbow room. And then the last guy to get on the plane, there's one last straggler
00:15:46.940
who gets on because they didn't lock the door in time. And then he takes that seat. But anyway,
00:15:50.400
he sits down there and first he's got a Starbucks drink. One of those frozen drinks with a straw.
00:15:58.080
So that's strike number one, just drink a regular coffee like a man. But he's, he's got his, he flips
00:16:03.040
the mask up. Doesn't take the mask off. He just flips it up and inserts the straw under the flipped
00:16:07.340
up mask and is slurping through the straw. And then they come through and they're handing out snacks,
00:16:12.420
like little bags of pretzels. So he opens the bags, bag of pretzel. Doesn't take the
00:16:16.780
mask off, just flips it up, puts in a pretzel, puts the mask down, chews, takes another pretzel,
00:16:24.840
flips the mask up again, inserts. And I'm catching this out of my peripheral and it is driving me
00:16:30.520
insane. I don't know exactly why it annoys me so much, but I just wanted to say to guys like,
00:16:37.580
dude, take the mask off and enjoy your, your, your girly drink. Take the mask off and have the
00:16:43.360
pretzel. Okay. What is this accomplishing? You think you get partial cover from COVID if you at
00:16:49.980
least have it flipped up and it's still attached to your face somehow? My God. All right. Number
00:16:57.740
one, Jen Psaki yesterday addressed the Micaiah Bryant shooting and her response, the official
00:17:02.900
White House response. This is not off the cuff. This was prepared in advance. You'll notice that
00:17:07.600
she's reading this like she does with almost all of her answers. It's one of the most repugnant
00:17:12.220
things I've ever heard. I, it, it really is, at least from a White House. So let's, uh, let's watch
00:17:17.320
that. First, has the president been briefed on 16 year old Micaiah Bryant being shot and killed by
00:17:23.600
police in Columbus, Ohio yesterday? It happened moments before the show converted came out. Yes.
00:17:29.000
Um, I said yes. And let me, let me just say, since you gave me the opportunity, uh, the killing of
00:17:36.880
16 year old Micaiah Bryant by the Columbus police is tragic. She was a child. We're thinking of her
00:17:42.180
friends and family in the communities that are hurting and grieving her loss. We know that police
00:17:46.360
violence just proportionally impacts, uh, black and Latino people in communities and that black
00:17:51.320
women and girls like black men and boys experience higher rates of police violence. We also know that
00:17:56.600
there are particular vulnerabilities that children in foster care care like Micaiah face and her death
00:18:02.600
came, as you noted, just as America was hopeful of a step forward after the traumatic and exhausting
00:18:07.200
trial of Derek Chauvin and the verdict that was reached. So our focus is on, um, working
00:18:13.500
to address systemic racism and implicit, implicit bias head on. And of course, to passing laws
00:18:18.380
and legislation that will put much needed reforms into place at police departments around the country.
00:18:23.540
And has the president been briefed on it? Yes. My Lord, I, I mean, I'm not surprised or anything
00:18:30.200
like that, but systemic racism, you, he was saving a girl's life. And this is the president of the United
00:18:41.100
States through a written statement from his spokeswoman throat, not throwing under the bus is not a strong
00:18:50.260
term here. He, he is just, he is feeding this guy to the mob and they know better. These people, some of the
00:19:02.000
activists out there on the street. Okay. Many of them are absolute morons, really, really stupid. And they're
00:19:10.200
also indoctrinated and brainwashed. And that's the case for again, personal responsibility. I'm not taking
00:19:15.600
responsibility away from them. Um, especially if you're, you know, running out of a footlocker with
00:19:21.960
a bunch of stolen shoes, the responsibility falls on you, but many of them are really brainwashed and
00:19:27.880
they, they, they really do believe because they've been told by people like Jen Psaki and Joe Biden
00:19:32.140
that, uh, cops are out there hunting and killing black men and so on. Um, but Jen Psaki and Joe Biden
00:19:40.340
and everyone else in the white house, they, they know, they, they watch that video. They know
00:19:45.640
exactly what happened there. They absolutely know that it's a justified shooting, but they say,
00:19:52.660
who cares? I don't, this cop, he saved someone's life. I don't care. Now his life is over. It doesn't
00:19:57.260
matter to me. It means nothing to me. He's not a human to me. Nevermind the fact that what, why is,
00:20:06.520
why is the president being briefed on? Does the, does the president of the United States get briefed
00:20:11.460
every time there's a police shooting? Does he, does he, does he get a, uh, an individual brief for
00:20:16.400
every police shooting? Does he, is that, is that part of being a president? Is that a normal function
00:20:25.000
of the office? I didn't think it was, but if he was briefed, then, uh, yeah, he knows about the knife
00:20:33.220
and he knows all of that. He knows the cop was called to the scene because someone was trying
00:20:37.900
to stab people. He gets there. He sees someone with a large knife trying to stab people. Oh no,
00:20:43.140
I better stop her. These dirt bags are, they want to destroy civilization. That's what they want to do.
00:20:55.040
They want to, they, we always hear from the left, burn it to the ground, burn it all to the ground.
00:21:02.720
And we know they mean that in a very literal sense when they're burning a CVS to the ground,
00:21:07.360
but they also do, as they will gladly tell you, they want to burn our civilization and our culture
00:21:13.520
and country to the ground and rebuild it into this dystopian, grotesque monstrosity. And that's,
00:21:19.500
um, the white house is fully on board with that. All right. The sports world is chiming in about
00:21:27.400
all of this. And of course we always want to know what people in, uh, you know, what they do for a
00:21:31.940
living as they talk about other, they talk about people playing games and they analyze how those
00:21:36.800
other people played those games. But, um, we really want to hear them chime in on some of these deeper
00:21:40.980
social issues. So Stephen A. Smith took exception with, uh, some of the things that Tucker Carlson said
00:21:46.860
about the Chauvin verdict. And let's listen to that. You just wonder sometimes if this is the
00:21:52.700
kind of things that leads to the divisiveness that we're talking about, because the video was there
00:21:59.000
for all of us to see. I mean, you saw folks on both sides of the aisle talking about this police
00:22:06.100
officer and how egregious his actions were. Matter of fact, I think I heard Tucker Carlson saying that
00:22:11.600
one time, this was egregious, et cetera, et cetera. Yet last night he's talking about how people,
00:22:18.520
there's people on the jury that probably found them guilty because, you know, they were afraid.
00:22:24.020
I don't have the direct quote in front of me, but I saw it and I read it to make sure that I had,
00:22:29.360
I saw what I read and I read what I saw. And you just wonder sometimes these are the kind of things
00:22:35.600
that make people shake and make people shiver because you realize that in the face of such
00:22:41.720
obvious flagrant evidence, conspicuous evidence, there's still going to be somebody that opens the
00:22:50.420
subject to debate when there are certain things that are simply not debatable. We saw what Derek
00:22:56.120
Chauvin did, saw it. The world saw it. There were protests all over the world because of what happened
00:23:02.880
to George Floyd. And yet he goes on national television last night and says that. That's a
00:23:09.920
problem. I'm not going to disrespect him. I'm just saying that's a damn problem. It's not debatable.
00:23:15.520
Yeah. A scholar here, a philosopher and a scholar. These are the kinds of things that make people
00:23:22.960
shake and make people shiver. What? Why are people shivering because of what Tucker Carlson said
00:23:31.540
about the Derek Chauvin case? I'm not sure I follow that exactly. But his, his main point to,
00:23:38.280
to, to the extent that it could be deciphered, his main point is that, um, he, he believes a certain
00:23:46.820
thing about the Derek Chauvin case and everyone he knows believes that thing. And the media is saying
00:23:53.460
a certain thing. And there are people all over the world who, who, who believe that thing,
00:23:57.240
which is that Derek Chauvin is a murderer and deserves to go to prison, which is what's going
00:24:02.500
to happen now. Um, unless he is successful on appeal, but he believes that and everyone he knows
00:24:08.720
and all these people believe that. And so where do you come off disagreeing? Tucker Carlson, how could
00:24:14.760
you disagree with what, how could you disagree with what I think? And what, what everyone I know
00:24:19.200
thinks everybody here at ESPN, they were ESPN for God's sake, how could you disagree with us?
00:24:28.260
Then the girl comes on at the end and says, yeah, it's not debatable, just not debatable. Well,
00:24:32.760
it is in fact, debatable, you know, it turns out there's, it can be debated. It has been debated.
00:24:38.220
There is a, a, another opinion a person can have. It's divisive though. It's divisive to have a
00:24:51.200
differing opinion. I guess it is. Yeah. I mean, that's the kind of the definition of
00:24:55.320
something being divided, divisive when there are different opinions.
00:25:01.460
I'm sorry, Stephen A. Smith, if it makes you shake and shiver, I'm sorry if it makes you shake
00:25:06.380
and shiver when, when someone has a differing viewpoint. When someone has a differing viewpoint,
00:25:11.640
it makes me shake. It makes me shiver. I get cold. It's confusing. Mommy, I'm cold. This person has a
00:25:19.640
different opinion. My Lord. Okay. Um, still in the sports world though, it gets worse. Meanwhile,
00:25:28.940
this is from a daily wire. LeBron James has found a way to sink to a new low daily wire reports NBA star
00:25:35.340
LeBron James posted a photograph on social media on Wednesday of the police officer who allegedly shot
00:25:40.560
and killed a 16 year old girl in Columbus, Ohio, writing your next hashtag accountability.
00:25:48.340
Um, and then let's see that the, the national fraternal order of police responded to James's
00:25:54.740
tweet by writing, uh, King James with his vast resources influence should educate himself and
00:26:01.860
frankly has a responsibility to do so on the facts before weighing in. This is disgraceful and extremely
00:26:06.380
reckless. The officer saved a young girl's life. No amount of gaslighting will change that.
00:26:12.660
Now, LeBron did go and, um, I think it deleted the tweet. Didn't really apologize for it.
00:26:19.780
He deleted that one. And then later tweeted again, defending it and saying, uh, I'm, I get so upset
00:26:28.280
about, uh, black, black people getting killed by the cops. And that's what this is all about. We
00:26:32.180
need, we need to count at hashtag accountability. That's what he keeps saying. Um, and yes, that's
00:26:41.920
what I opened the show with. I, I agree. Accountability. Be accountable for your children. How about that?
00:26:48.000
You got a 16 year old girl out trying to stab someone to death. And yes, we can say stab someone
00:26:56.500
to death. We can say that she was trying to kill someone. Knives kill people. Hundreds of people a
00:27:07.080
year. In fact, in this country killed by knives, believe it or not. It's a, it's a really common
00:27:10.940
thing. And that knife, the size of that knife, that was one that it's, you place it in the,
00:27:19.880
in the right place, um, on someone's body. You kill them on the spot. Yeah. So if your daughter's
00:27:27.680
out doing that accountability, parental accountability, literally be accountable for your children,
00:27:33.840
know what they're doing. Be there for them. How about that? But, but LeBron, again, um, this
00:27:44.260
is, LeBron's a very stupid person and, and we have to remember that. Um, but he also still
00:27:53.720
knows better. He, he, he, he definitely knows better. And he's in a position where this, I
00:28:03.280
mean, this is LeBron James. This is the most famous athlete in the world, a massive, massive
00:28:08.200
platform. And he takes this cop who saved a girl's life, a woman's life, um, and puts
00:28:15.420
his, puts his picture out there. It says, you're next. He should be brought, that's,
00:28:24.500
that should be criminal. He should be brought up on criminal charges for that. You're trying
00:28:28.800
to get the guy killed. What do you mean you're next? What are you even referring to? Because
00:28:36.020
the cop didn't commit a crime. So you can't say you're next in terms of criminal prosecution.
00:28:39.940
He didn't commit a crime. What he did was perfectly legal and justified and good. It's good that
00:28:45.000
he did it. It is good when cops stop people from stabbing other people. That's a good thing.
00:28:53.760
So what do you mean by you're next? That seems an awful lot like you're trying to send a violent
00:28:59.860
mob. You, from your massive platform, while you're tweeting from your multi-million dollar mansion,
00:29:08.200
seems an awful lot like you're trying to send a violent mob after this guy.
00:29:10.820
All right. Number three, uh, Ibram X. Kendi is, uh, pretty upset with Chauvin's guilty verdict
00:29:19.020
because it undercuts his talking points and deprives him of the chance to defend rioting and
00:29:23.940
looting. Um, but he's not letting that stop him. So here's what, uh, interviewed by CBS. Here's what
00:29:28.440
he had to say. So now what? Chauvin is headed to jail, but is America headed to justice? Is justice
00:29:37.500
convicting a police officer or is justice convicting America? When tens of millions of Americans after
00:29:45.360
Floyd's murder last year took to the streets of nearly every American town, we were convicting
00:29:52.060
America. Since 2013, more than 1,000 people have died at the hands of police, many of them mentally
00:30:00.540
ill, many of them during traffic stops, like Daunte Wright. Since the Chauvin trial began on March 29th,
00:30:08.340
more than three people per day have been killed by law enforcement, many of them black and Latino and
00:30:15.440
young, like Adam Toledo. It is easy to just blame individual officers like Derek Chauvin, but the
00:30:22.920
problem is structural. The problem is historic. The problem is every single American who sees George
00:30:30.520
Floyd and Breonna Taylor as dangerous rather than the policies that led to health disparities,
00:30:37.580
under-resourced schools, disproportionate black poverty and unemployment, and few resources for all of us
00:30:44.500
suffering from drug abuse, from mental illnesses, from despair.
00:30:50.180
Okay, shut up, Ibram. This guy is such a hack. And of course, he's now in a position, who cares what
00:30:56.520
the, why, the fact that we have to care what this guy says. Well, why would we see George Floyd as
00:31:04.160
dangerous? Well, I don't know, when he's forcing his way into your home at gunpoint and robbing you,
00:31:08.920
as he did to his female victim, I think that's at least one person who can see him as dangerous.
00:31:14.380
What do you say, Ibram? These statistics that they trot out, three people per day killed by the
00:31:22.240
cops, it is so dishonest. Calling it misleading doesn't even cut it. It's so dishonest because he
00:31:31.200
knows in almost all of those cases, these are straightforward examples of the cops shooting
00:31:38.600
to simply defend themselves from someone trying to kill them. Almost every cop shooting is that.
00:31:49.040
Because you have to wonder, well, so it's three a day, according to him, and
00:31:52.080
we hear about a lot of them, still very, very select, it's obviously selective, because
00:31:57.700
as we've talked about, cop kills a white person, we're never going to hear about that. But
00:32:01.500
still, there are a lot that even BLM doesn't say anything about. A lot of cases of a black
00:32:12.800
person being shot by cops, we don't hear BLM say anything about. Because in the vast majority
00:32:18.440
of cases, it is someone just shooting at the cops and getting shot back. Things like that.
00:32:27.020
Now, of course, we wouldn't put it past BLM to make a martyr even out of someone in that
00:32:33.800
situation. And as we've seen here, they made a martyr out of a person trying to stab someone
00:32:38.480
to death. So, you know, I wouldn't put it past them. But it does tell you something. With
00:32:46.600
all these police shootings, many of them we never hear about. That's because so many of
00:32:53.800
them, even BLM at this point, can't figure out a way to make the cop the villain. They
00:33:01.580
can only do it in broad strokes, just by looking at statistics and saying, well, this number
00:33:05.720
of people are shot by cops. But they're not going to give you any of the details about
00:33:09.300
most of those shootings. Because if they did, you would say, oh, well, yeah, of course that
00:33:14.380
person got shot by a cop. But Ibram thinks America is so terrible, of course, and America
00:33:22.960
should be convicted and America deserves an apology, deserves rather, should deliver an
00:33:29.700
apology to black Americans. And it's so hard to be a black person in America, so on and
00:33:35.540
so forth. I guess my question is, America is so terrible to black Americans, allegedly.
00:33:44.380
You know, if you're a black American, where would you rather live than America?
00:33:51.860
No matter your race. If you think that America is a terrible place, structurally racist, evil,
00:34:02.840
colonialist, built on stolen land, genocide, all these terrible things.
00:34:07.700
There's so many other places in the world you could live. And I know this is the point
00:34:14.980
that's brought up all the time. If you don't like America, get out. But it is a good question.
00:34:19.380
It's a good point. If you feel that way about this country, no one is forcing you to stay
00:34:23.840
here. It's a good question. Why haven't you gone somewhere else? Is it because there is
00:34:30.840
nowhere else on earth you'd rather be than here? Maybe that should tell you something.
00:34:38.160
Maybe that should give you a little bit of perspective.
00:34:44.960
All right, number four, Kirsten Henning, a former Virginia Tech University soccer player,
00:34:50.200
has filed suit against her ex-coach for allegedly benching her because she wouldn't take a knee
00:34:55.240
during a pregame reading of an Atlantic Coast Conference unity pledge. Henning filed the federal
00:35:02.260
lawsuit against Charles Chugger Ader, I guess that's his nickname, Chugger, on March 3rd, claiming
00:35:11.280
that because she refused to kneel, he benched her, subjected her to repeated verbal abuse, and forced
00:35:16.060
her off the team. The lawsuit claims that Ader's actions violated Henning's First and Fourteenth
00:35:21.600
Amendment rights. Henning, a junior at Virginia Tech, was a starter on defense during her freshman
00:35:26.200
and sophomore years before leaving the team. The lawsuit says Ader supported proposals by the
00:35:30.580
university to have its athletes wear Black Lives Matter masks, wristbands, and armbands, but Henning
00:35:35.880
dissented. Quote, the lawsuit says, quote, while Henning supports social justice and believes that
00:35:43.400
Black Lives Matter, she does not support the BLM organization. She disagrees with its tactics and
00:35:47.620
core tenets of its mission statement, including defunding the police and eliminating the
00:35:51.520
nuclear family. And so she was forced off the team for that. Now she's suing. And good for
00:35:58.360
her. I mean, good for her on all counts. And this is what we need in our culture. We need
00:36:04.620
people who are these quiet, unheralded acts of heroism, little everyday acts of heroism by
00:36:15.520
everyday people, as a politician would say. That's what we need.
00:36:22.360
Someone, people who are willing to say, you know what, I'm not this, I'm not going to take
00:36:26.980
anything for this. I don't believe in this. I'm not going to do it.
00:36:30.540
We all need to start doing that in our private lives, even when there's a possibility of
00:36:38.240
repercussions. That's where courage comes in. If, you know, this, we are living in a moment
00:36:47.260
in history right now that really calls for courage. Every moment calls for courage. This
00:36:51.020
moment especially doesn't. And if we're not going to have any courage at all, then there's
00:36:58.420
no hope. Because we know what's demanded of us. Like, I think a lot of people, a lot of
00:37:08.220
rational people, sane people, who aren't on board with all the craziness, what they hope
00:37:15.160
is that, okay, I don't want to have to go along with this actively. So I'm hoping that
00:37:22.740
they'll leave me alone and I can live my life and have my own point of view. And, and that's
00:37:28.520
it. And they'll, and you know, and they can do their thing. I'm not going to stop them,
00:37:31.840
but they'll let me do my thing. That's, I think that's what most, a lot of people are hoping
00:37:35.100
that's, that's what they can do. Kind of live their life. And they don't have to actively
00:37:40.120
involve themselves in this stuff that they disagree with, but they're not going to actively
00:37:43.440
protested either. But that's not going to work anymore. The left isn't going to allow
00:37:51.660
that. They're not allowing that. It's not, no, you, you can't simply live your own life
00:37:57.220
and have your own views and let them do. That was, that was 20 years ago, right? That 20
00:38:03.020
years ago, it was, let people, you know, leave us alone and let us be how we live, how we live
00:38:08.480
and have our value systems and all of that. And, and, um, that was 20 years ago. Tolerance.
00:38:13.600
That was back when we were talking about tolerance, simply tolerate it, allow it, don't interfere.
00:38:20.260
We are way past that. Now your active approval and, um, not just approval, but participation
00:38:31.700
is mandatory. And that's where the choice comes in. The third option of going over here and
00:38:43.520
doing your own thing that's gone. Now you have to decide, am I going to actively go along
00:38:49.980
with this thing that I don't believe in? Um, or am I going to take a stand for what's right?
00:38:59.720
I think that's, that's the choice we all have to make. All right. Um, it kind of, it reminds
00:39:05.380
me of, I know I brought up before a great passage in Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago, I think
00:39:13.160
in volume one, uh, where they're, they're talking about, there's a, uh, this is all about the,
00:39:19.380
the gulag system, the labor camp system in Soviet Russia. And he was talking about a, there
00:39:23.800
was some sort of political meeting rally. Um, and the great father Stalin was, was mentioned
00:39:31.600
and everyone had to stand up in the crowd and give a standing ovation to the great father.
00:39:37.200
And, uh, the standing ovation went on, you know, one minute, two minutes, three minutes,
00:39:42.340
four minutes. And I guess usually everybody will stand up, they'll give a standing ovation
00:39:46.020
and then they all kind of organically sit back down, but that didn't, didn't work that
00:39:50.740
way this time. And it went on for longer than usual. And so now it's getting conspicuous.
00:39:56.440
And the problem is someone in the crowd has to, has to be the first to sit down and stop
00:40:02.120
applauding, stop participating. Someone has to do it or they're going to be here all night
00:40:06.620
applauding. And finally one guy after like 10 minutes says, all right, that's enough of
00:40:10.080
that. And, uh, and later he's the secret police come in and they take him out of his
00:40:16.180
house and they put them in a, send them to a labor camp for 10 years. And he's told by
00:40:21.180
the interrogator, never be the first to stop applauding. And that's kind of what, what we're
00:40:29.360
facing in our culture. We have, we have to stop applauding, stop participating, stop giving
00:40:35.820
our approval to these things. Unfortunately, you know, whatever the consequence is, it's
00:40:41.400
not going to be 10 years in a labor camp, at least not yet. Okay. From the New York
00:40:44.260
Post, it says, before you buckle up, get yourself a good playlist and a strong cup of Joe. A new
00:40:50.760
experiment has found a link between listening to rap music and having strong coffee with better
00:40:55.400
driving skills. UK based behavioral science consultancy, CX lab and car insurance company
00:41:02.600
use switch collaborated on the experiment in which they virtually measure 103 drivers reaction times
00:41:07.840
under various conditions. Um, so what were the conditions? Those factors were drinking a strong
00:41:15.800
cup of coffee, 20 minutes before taking the test, listening to an audio track of noisy children and
00:41:21.040
listening to rap techno, heavy metal and classical, um, heavy metal, classical jazz or R and B music.
00:41:28.920
Researchers found that caffeine had the biggest impact leading drivers to stop an average
00:41:32.560
of 26 yards earlier than uncaffeinated drivers after spotting a hazard while traveling at 70 miles
00:41:37.660
per hour. Music made the second most significant difference in reaction time improvement. Listening
00:41:41.840
to rap music, uh, made participants stop an average of 16 yards sooner than listening to no music. R and B
00:41:47.940
on the other hand was found to worsen reaction time by about four yards. Listening to noisy children
00:41:54.080
while driving made the least significant difference, improving reaction time by about 14 yards, though
00:41:58.980
it's surprising that it improved reaction time at all. Okay. None of this is really surprising
00:42:02.480
to me at all. I mean, first of all, R and B classical and jazz will put you to sleep. So of course it's
00:42:06.960
going to slow reaction times. Techno and heavy metal will give you a headache. And again, that's not
00:42:10.980
going to help with your reaction time. Rap music could put you to sleep or give you a headache, but
00:42:14.520
it's actually more, it's more like the sound of the noisy kids where it sort of sharpens your focus
00:42:20.220
on the road because you're trying so hard to ignore it. Like I I've done some of my best driving
00:42:25.820
with four screaming kids in the back seat because you have to mentally train yourself
00:42:30.800
to concentrate your focus on the road. A lot of times the lazy driving comes in or the, the
00:42:36.820
inattentive when you get lost in thought and you're thinking about this other thing. But when you've
00:42:40.760
got kids screaming, you can't really do that. You can't think about anything else. And so all you're
00:42:44.360
doing is focusing on the road. That's what I, it really does sharpen your senses. But this is what
00:42:49.880
really got me. It says, uh, last, last sentence in the article says women were founded to generally
00:42:55.760
have faster reaction times than men in driving. Now that's fascinating because we know that women
00:43:02.320
generally are terrible drivers. Um, no offense. So at first I was surprised by that. So women have
00:43:08.440
the faster reaction times. And then I realized that, no, that makes sense because women will react to
00:43:13.240
things on the road before they even happen. Right? So they're, they're, they're way ahead of
00:43:21.120
the game. Like my wife, for example, if, if we're, if we're driving and a big, like a big rig truck
00:43:28.560
comes in the other lane, it's just, just drives by us in the other lane. She'll panic because she
00:43:34.280
immediately assumes that that truck's going to try to get over into our lane. And so she's reacting to
00:43:38.820
that, to that truck, uh, merging into our lane, even when it isn't. So maybe that's it. I don't
00:43:45.400
know. I'm trying to figure out how the science works here. That would be my, my guess. All right,
00:43:50.020
let's move to reading the YouTube comments. This is from, uh, Alan's snack bar says, congratulations
00:43:55.580
from South Africa. Your justice system now also officially joins the great tradition of the pitchfork
00:44:00.740
mob influencing the justice system. This is not a, um, yeah, well, thank you for that. Those well
00:44:08.760
wishes, but to me, this is not much of a celebratory moment. Another comment says I'm 12
00:44:13.860
weeks pregnant right now. And hearing the unborn referred to as medical waste is very upsetting,
00:44:18.940
but that's our society. Sadly, that is to the abortion industry. That is literally what
00:44:25.220
an unborn human is medical waste. Um, and after the abortion, after the murder is completed,
00:44:30.960
then, um, the, the child is, is tossed out, you know, in a medical waste, you know, uh, dumpster
00:44:38.460
if, if they aren't first harvested for parts by Planned Parenthood. And it is, it is, yeah,
00:44:45.800
upsetting, very upsetting. And it's the reality too. Um, another comment says, notice that Chauvin,
00:44:55.880
talking about at the trial when Chauvin was found guilty and taken away, says notice that Chauvin
00:45:00.460
stood and calmly placed his hands behind his back. Where would we be if George Floyd had done the same?
00:45:06.560
Um, that is a very, it's a very good point. That's the kind of point I wish I had made.
00:45:13.520
Um, yeah, very good point. Catherine says, I love how you say vice president Biden and president
00:45:22.260
Kamala Harris. That made me chuckle. It's sad, but true. Well, yeah, it's, it's not even a matter of
00:45:26.980
co-president, you know, um, addressing the nation yesterday after the Chauvin verdict.
00:45:32.480
Kamala Harris spoke first. I mean, Joe Biden stood off to the side and the vice president
00:45:40.620
spoke first to have her there at all for these kinds of things is bizarre. And other presidents
00:45:47.920
didn't do this. I mean, Barack Obama, when he was giving an address to the nation, he didn't bring
00:45:54.220
Joe Biden in to do or say anything. Not only is he bringing Kamala Harris in, but she gets to speak
00:46:00.100
first. He takes a, he plays second fiddle to her. Um, and finally, mighty Matso says, Matt, just curious,
00:46:08.500
but do you watch ancient aliens? Not a dig. It's my favorite show. Thanks and have a better day
00:46:13.580
tomorrow, my friend. Uh, I love ancient aliens. That is a great show. Awesome show. It is, it's,
00:46:20.940
you, you have to engage with it as science fiction, which it mostly is. I mean, you never know. I mean,
00:46:26.340
it could be that aliens did all this and they built the pyramids and everything else. Um,
00:46:30.500
but it's, it's mostly to me, really entertaining science fiction. And I, I enjoy it on that level.
00:46:38.840
Any, look, I think it's obvious. Any alien related thing, I'm into it. I love it. Okay. You know,
00:46:44.420
we all like to complain about, well, we might not like complaining. I like complaining. Maybe you don't,
00:46:48.780
but we all do complain about the, uh, the fact that there, there are very few, it seems like
00:46:52.540
very few companies out there that support us as conservatives have our same values. Uh, and so
00:46:59.020
anytime we're buying anything or anytime we're, we're in the role of a customer, it's like we're,
00:47:04.200
we're, we're giving our money to people who hate us. And that is the case oftentimes. And that's why
00:47:08.600
it's so important when you find a company that does support your values to support them. And that's
00:47:12.940
what charity mobile is all about. One company that fits the description of a, you know, a company with
00:47:17.420
morals and conservative values is charity mobile, the pro-life phone company, 5% of your monthly
00:47:23.140
plan price goes to the pro-life pro-family charity of your choice. Uh, and that's, you know, that's,
00:47:29.680
that's the great charity part of it. Also, it's a great service and new activations and eligible
00:47:34.960
accounts get a free cell phone with free activations and free shipping. There's no contract.
00:47:39.120
There's no termination fees. There's no risk with a 30 day guarantee. So you might as well try
00:47:42.940
charity mobile out. If you're skeptical for some reason, are they, you know, um, as good as,
00:47:47.520
as Matt saying, well, then get, give it a try. And you're going to, you're going to love the
00:47:50.440
service. They've got live customer service based in the USA. Um, also you can block the use of
00:47:55.540
cellular data, picture messages, text messages on any and all of your accounts. You get free usage
00:48:00.900
alerts. You get a free app to pay your bills, monitor your usage, all of that, all while you're
00:48:05.580
helping to build that culture of life in America while supporting a pro-life phone company. Um,
00:48:10.880
and it's, it is the win-win situation, um, that we're all looking for as customers,
00:48:15.780
right? So call them at 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.
00:48:22.980

00:48:30.380
by Candace Owens. And this week's episode is a major truth bomb as Candace dives right into the
00:48:35.280
Derek Chauvin trial verdict and gives her breakdown on George Floyd's death. Plus you don't want to miss
00:48:39.220

00:48:51.620
Candace. So make sure you go there now and get that new membership, get the 25% off. Now let's
00:48:56.400
get to our daily cancellation. Today is a product of pure frustration, uh, which could probably describe
00:49:05.580
every daily cancellation. I could really describe every moment of every show. I'm going to be
00:49:10.380
canceling two of the most inane, incoherent, irrelevant, misleading, uh, talking points that
00:49:17.520
always come up with any high profile police shooting. Um, and I, you know, we've mentioned
00:49:23.220
these in the past, but I think, I think it's time that we really focus on them for a moment, at least.
00:49:28.480
These are, and they've especially reached fever pitches in response to the Micaiah Bryant incident.
00:49:33.360
These are talking points that reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of the law, of the real
00:49:39.260
world, you know, and they are these number one, why can't the cops just shoot the person
00:49:45.760
in the leg? And there's been a lot of that. Number two, why did fill in the blank black suspect
00:49:53.400
get shot? If Dylan Roof, the Charleston church shooter was taken alive, must be racism. Right?
00:50:00.140
Those are the two that you've seen his talking points a lot. Uh, hear them all the time. So
00:50:04.420
let's take these one at a time, starting with number one, why can't the cops shoot in the leg?
00:50:08.900
Well, as it happens, the police chief in, um, Columbus, Ohio was asked this, this very question
00:50:14.960
by a member of the media. And, uh, he provided the answer. I think let's listen to what he has to say.
00:50:19.680
Couldn't he have just shot her in the leg so she'd drop? Couldn't he have shot her in the arm,
00:50:24.260
something like that? Right. You know, one of the, uh, the difficult things with that is,
00:50:28.960
um, when you're trying, we, we don't train to shoot the leg because that's a small target.
00:50:34.300
We train to shoot center mass. What is available to stop that threat? There was a threat going on,
00:50:39.240
a deadly force threat that was going on. So the officer is trained to shoot center mass,
00:50:43.640
the largest part, part of a body that is available to them. When you try to start shooting legs or
00:50:49.420
arms, uh, rounds miss, and then they continue on. And there are people behind that, that could be
00:50:55.140
in danger that are not committing anything. Uh, so we try and minimize any danger to anyone else
00:51:01.200
if we have to use our firearm. So I think he successfully answers that question and it should
00:51:06.460
be enough for anyone who was seriously confused about it. I think the answer you just heard there is
00:51:11.060
good enough, but to emphasize his point, let me add that though I am not a law enforcement officer,
00:51:16.880
I do realize one fundamental fact. We are not living in a John Wick movie. Okay. In the real world,
00:51:27.220
John Wick doesn't exist. And the guy who plays him, Keanu Reeves is a 56 year old dude who probably
00:51:35.300
can't do 12 pushups and certainly can't single hat handedly dispatch, um, a whole room full of
00:51:41.320
mob hitmen. Okay. That in the real world, that doesn't happen. If we lived in a movie, then sure,
00:51:46.040
you'd simply, if you're the cop, uh, you'd shoot the knife, uh, or whatever weapon out of the perp's
00:51:52.340
hand, maybe deliver a couple, a couple of karate chops or roundhouse kicks. Uh, the suspect is knocked
00:51:58.520
unconscious just for long enough to put them in cuffs and everyone gets out alive, you know, though,
00:52:04.720
and, and, um, though maybe the, the bad-ass tough as nails cop gets chewed out by the police captain,
00:52:10.900
you know, for, for showboating as always, that's the way it goes in film. And the great thing about
00:52:17.740
film is that everything is neat and it follows a certain structure and there's no random misery and
00:52:25.740
death. There might, there might be misery and death, but it serves the purpose of the story
00:52:30.180
and everything usually works out. Okay. In the end, that's the way it goes in movies.
00:52:35.220
Again, that's not reality. Reality is messy. Cops live in messy all day. There's no script. You have
00:52:43.460
to make quick decisions and you make the decision that has the highest probability of bringing out the
00:52:48.420
least, bringing about the least horrible outcome. You also can't guarantee that the bullet is always going
00:52:55.020
to go where you want it to go. If you shoot for a hand, which is a small, fast moving target,
00:53:01.660
you'll probably miss and you'll hit whatever or whoever is on the other side of that hand. And in
00:53:06.300
this case, um, you would have been hitting the very person you were trying to save. Uh, if you shoot for
00:53:11.680
the leg, again, a smaller, fast moving target, there's a good chance you'll miss. And then that
00:53:17.860
means that the dangerous armed assailant will succeed in causing whatever harm they were trying to cause
00:53:22.400
to whoever they were trying to cause it to. Also, even if you hit the person in the leg again,
00:53:26.900
because this isn't a movie, they're not going to automatically go down, right? They're not going
00:53:32.580
to automatically fall to their knees and start shaking their fists and saying, ah, foiled again.
00:53:37.680
You know, no, they'll probably still be moving. And there's, there's, there's no reason why in this
00:53:42.660
case in particular, she couldn't have finished the movement. I mean, she had her hand back like this
00:53:46.920
with a knife in it. Um, even if you shot her in the leg, that's not going to stop her from doing this
00:53:51.340
and stabbing somebody. She could stab multiple times after getting shot in the leg. Remember, in the
00:53:57.840
real world, all you can do is choose the least horrible outcome. In this case, the most horrible
00:54:05.640
outcome in the Bryant case is that the assailant stabs an unarmed girl to death right in front of you.
00:54:13.020
That is the most horrible outcome from the perspective of a police officer. You want to
00:54:17.460
avoid that. The least horrible is that you stop the assailant by the quickest and most high percentage
00:54:24.040
method available. Shooting center mass right in the chest is, it's not so that you'll have the
00:54:28.620
highest chance of killing them. It's so you'll have the highest chance of stopping them from doing
00:54:32.800
what they're doing. Sadly, that often means killing them. That's not the point. The point is to stop
00:54:40.560
them. Again, least horrible, messy situation. I wish you didn't have to be that way, but it does.
00:54:47.980
All you really have to do here to understand why it has to be this way is put yourself in the shoes
00:54:53.840
of, of the girl who is about to get stabbed. Okay. And pause the tape right there and imagine this.
00:55:00.800
You're pinned against the car. Someone has a butcher knife. They have their arm all the way back,
00:55:05.200
winding up, you know, with ready to thrust that blade into your body. If it hits you in the heart,
00:55:11.380
you're dead. If she gets you in the gut, you might be dead or you might live with internal organ damage
00:55:16.680
or worse. If she gets you in the face, you could be dead. You could be blind. You could be horribly
00:55:20.680
disfigured. Um, you see a police officer right behind her. He has this gun out. What do you want
00:55:25.840
him to do in that situation? What do you want him to do right then and there? Do you want him to choose
00:55:31.620
a lease, a less effective option to prevent you from being butchered in hopes of also preserving
00:55:37.480
the life of the person trying to butcher you? Or do you want him to just stop her?
00:55:44.120
Now you probably, if you, if you notice this and you were, you were cognizant of it, you'd probably
00:55:48.700
be shooting, shoot her, shoot her. You want, you want her to, she's about to stab you. You want,
00:55:54.740
you want this to be, you know, you don't want to be, you don't want to give your life so that for the
00:55:59.360
sake of your assailant not being shot when they're trying to stab you. Um, well, you know,
00:56:05.740
what, what, what would we, what would we all really want in that situation? If we could have anything,
00:56:10.360
we would want John Wick to be there or, or Superman or, you know, Spider-Man who can shoot his webs
00:56:17.380
and, uh, you know, put, put it, put an end to it. We'd want that, but we can't have that.
00:56:22.960
And, uh, so then what we're going to have is a cop in the real world. And that means least horrible
00:56:29.680
outcome they shoot. That's the first talking about. The second is this, uh, what about Dylan
00:56:33.980
Roof? He was taken alive. They bought him Burger King. How scandalous is that? Well, this one is
00:56:43.000
really simple. It's not even complex and messy like the first one was. It's really easy. Dylan Roof did a
00:56:49.480
horrific thing and was sentenced to death for it. He was taken alive because he surrendered peacefully.
00:56:55.680
The only way to not take him alive would have been to execute him on the spot while he is clearly
00:57:02.340
and unambiguously surrendering. Now you might say that cops have done that before on rare occasion,
00:57:06.960
like they did to Daniel Shaver. Um, yeah, and they have on rare occasion. That's bad. Okay. We don't want
00:57:12.800
them to do that. In almost every case, they don't do that. And it's good that they don't do that.
00:57:17.680
If Dylan Roof had drawn up on the cops, they would have shot him dead in a second and nobody would
00:57:24.480
care without, without any hesitation. If Dylan Roof had wrestled the cops and run away and like
00:57:30.700
reached into his car, they would have shot him dead right then and there. Again, nobody would
00:57:34.720
protest or care. Um, but he didn't do any of that. And that's why he survived so that he could be
00:57:42.760
sentenced to death. Almost every black and white suspect who surrenders peacefully makes it out
00:57:49.640
alive. And that's how. In the few exceptions where they surrender peacefully and are still killed,
00:57:57.160
usually the cop is prosecuted. So there's no issue here. Um, why was Dylan Roof given Burger King? Well,
00:58:03.440
because he, we have to feed bad guys in custody. It's a law. Starve him, refuse him food and water.
00:58:10.820
And that's a good way of making sure the bad guy walks free.
00:58:14.940
The beltway snipers, two, two black people, serial killers who terrorized the Baltimore,
00:58:20.000
uh, DC area for weeks. And I remember this well, we're taken alive and, and, and given food while
00:58:26.460
in custody. Why? Because they surrendered peacefully. They didn't give the cops a reason to shoot them.
00:58:32.680
Give the cops a valid reason to shoot you. And they might.
00:58:39.040
So don't do that. It's really not hard. It's not hard to refrain from attacking the cops or fighting
00:58:46.080
them or trying to kill them or trying to kill other people in front of them. That's, that's not a hard
00:58:50.140
thing. That's not a high bar to get over. It's not an unreasonable demand. Is it?
00:58:55.440
It's not an infringement. It's a very low bar. Don't fight the cops. Don't try to kill them.
00:59:04.140
Don't try to kill anybody in front of the cops. Don't try to kill anybody any, any time,
00:59:07.520
even if the cops aren't there, you know, that's the most ideal scenario. Um, and just follow those
00:59:13.080
basic rules of life. And, uh, you're not guaranteed success and happiness, but at the very least,
00:59:17.340
you're probably not going to get shot by the cops. Very, very low bar. If you can't clear that very,
00:59:26.300
very, very low bar, you might get shot. Such is life and such is death. And that's the reality.
00:59:34.340
Those who don't understand it or would deny it are, you guessed it, canceled.
00:59:40.300
That will do it for us today. If I see in Austin, then, uh, tonight, then great. Otherwise I'll talk

01:00:40.920
racism. The white house, the media and LeBron James target a police officer for shooting a black
01:00:45.220
teenager who was trying to stab another black teenager and the Biden administration cracks
01:00:49.960
down on police departments. So everything is going great. That's today on the Ben Shapiro show. Give it a
