The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 706 - BLM Is Outraged That A Cop Saved A Black Woman From Getting Stabbed To Death

00:00:00.000 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 0.99

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 1.00

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, 0.52

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 1.00

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 0.95

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.97

00:26:56.500 to death. We can say that she was trying to kill someone. Knives kill people. Hundreds of people a 0.99

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.

00:31:45.040 That's why you don't hear about most of them.

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 0.96

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. 0.87

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.

00:34:42.860 Just a thought.

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:42:55.760 have faster reaction times than men in driving. Now that's fascinating because we know that women 1.00

00:43:02.320 generally are terrible drivers. Um, no offense. So at first I was surprised by that. So women have 1.00

00:43:08.440 the faster reaction times. And then I realized that, no, that makes sense because women will react to 1.00

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, 0.95

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, 0.53

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 And you know, if you needed another reason to join the Daily Wire, I want to remind you,

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 0.64

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 1.00

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 0.85

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, 1.00

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 0.99

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

00:59:48.160 to you tomorrow. Godspeed. Well, if you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe. And if
