Dem Rep. Cori Bush: ‘I’m Going to Make Sure I Have Security’ But ‘Defunding the Police Has to Happen’ · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There has been so much conversation happening about lockdowns, which
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I do believe are coming, mass mandates which are coming,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: shutting down our public schools, which I believe is forcing
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: people to get the vaccine, which is happening a major
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: airline today, United has come out saying all of their
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: employees must be vaccinated. We're going to deal with all
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that in just a moment. But there's another story that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: is happening that is not being covered the way it should,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and that is there is still a full court press
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in this country to defund the police. While we were
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: continuing to see astronomical numbers when it comes to violent crimes,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: murder rates, rape rates, home invasion rates, These violent criminals
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: across the country are realizing no one stopping them. And
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: maybe it's because we're focused on this other issue so much.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But Democratic Representative Corey Bush, who is demanding we fund
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the police, had a very awkward moment with CBS News.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: She is aiming to transform policing with a new bill.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: But there's a question, you're spending a lot of money
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on private security. Why are you advancing a defund the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: police bill through Congress right now when you're spending over
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: seventy thousand hours in private security. Well, her answer at
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: least was an honest one. Her life is worth more
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: than any one of you out there in America. I'm
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: gonna make sure I have security because I know I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: have had attempts on my life and I have too
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: much work to do. There are too many people that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: need help right now for me to to allow that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So if I end up spending two hundred thousand, if
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I spend ten more dollars on it, you know what,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I get to be here to do the work. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: suck it up. In defunding the police has to happen.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We need to defund the police and put that money
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: into social safety New Yeah, so suck it up. Now,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you can imagine there are a lot of people that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: heard this. They're like, what in the hell is she
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: talking about? Suck it up. Fox Business Channels Maria bart
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to Romo had on the ex New York Police Department
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: commissioner and asked him what he thought about these comments
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of saying suck it up. Listen to what she said,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and Ray, Kelly, I don't understand any of this, So
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: suck it up and defund the police, joining me right
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: now is from a New York City police commissioner. He
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: is the CEO of the Guardian group Ray Kelly and Ray,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It's great to have you. As always, the hypocrisy just
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: does not stop your reaction to what you heard there
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: from Corey Bush. Well credible in your face approach. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this has got to be one of the stupidest political
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: moves ever, defunding the police consistently pulled where eighty public
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is against it. It just makes no sense. Yet this
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: person is going to shove it right into our face,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't seem to need to be a very
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: smart phone and come move on her part on a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: part of the Democrats. But that's where we are these days.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I love it. That's where we are these days. Corey
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Bush admit suspending seventy thousand dollars I'm private security while
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: pushing to defend the police because her life is more
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: important than your life. That's the logic. I want you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to listen to it again. She's asked about it, like, Hey,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you're spend a lot of money on private security. Why
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: do the American people not deserve the same type of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: protection that you're paying for. I'm gonna make sure I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have security because I know I have had attempts on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: my life, and I have too much work to do.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: There are too many people that need help right now.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, just out of curiosity these quote attempts
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: on her life. I would love for a investigative journalists
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: out there, maybe somebody at CBS News that was doing
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: this interview, to ask the question dual research changes there?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: When when were their attempts on your life. There's a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: difference between a someone saying I want to kill you, right,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that's a death threat, in an attempt on your life
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: means someone followed through with it. So you think anybody
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in the media is going to do their job and actually,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: like you know, ask her about that lie because there's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: no record that we can find of a person trying
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to murder actively try to murder Democratic Representative Corey Bush.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I have too much work to do. There are too
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: many people that need help right now for me to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: allow that. So if I end up spending two hundred thousand,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: if I spend ten more dollars on it, you know what,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I get to be here to do the work, So
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: suck it up. In defunding the police has to happen
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: suck it up, defund the police has to happen. That
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is the Democratic parties mantra, suck it up. This has
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: got to happen right now. Every bit of this needs
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to happen. She's not a fringe person. By the way,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: this is not a crazy of the Democratic Party. She's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: one of the leaders of the Democratic Party, one of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the one of the leaders of the Democratic Party that
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: is pushing this. She's this isn't an activist, this is
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: an elected official. Sean Hannity, Dan Crenshaw, we're talking about
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: this as well as Leo Terrell on his show. Take
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a listen to what they had to say it now
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: with reaction. Congressman Dan Crenshaw Leo two point Terrell, Congressman, Um,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know probably all of us right now. I would
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: assume Leo, it's probably happen to you. Dan, It's probably
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: happen to you. I've been doing this thirty three years.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Has happened more than a few occasions with me. Yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you get threats if you're a public figure and you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: express political opinions. Dan, Yeah, that's right. And look, I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: happy that she has private security. But I just wonder
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: if if the citizens of Saint Louis could afford seventy
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year exactly. But I wonder if the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: citizens that she represents could actually afford seventy thousand dollars
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a year in private security, and God knows they need it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis is one of the most dangerous cities in America.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You have a one in fifty one chance of being
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a victim of a crime in Saint Louis. There's been
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred and nine murders there this year, and one
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: hundred of those victims have been black people. Okay, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they're not being killed by cops. They're being killed by
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: criminals and murderers. And you know who chases criminals and murderers, Well,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it's cops. And that's exactly who she wants to defund.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And this goes directly against where her community actually wants
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and needs. Eighty one percent of the black community favor leasing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And here's the big takeaway here. We have to do
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: away with this notion that the Democrats are not this
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: radical party. They are a radical party. This isn't some
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: fringe activists that you just played on TV that was
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a Democrat member of Congress and a very popular one
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: at that right, member of the squad, they have the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: highest social media following, They have real influence into the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party. Defunding the police is not just some radical
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: talking point. It's happened across the country, and in American cities,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: murders have gone up thirty three percent this year. It's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: because of defunding the police. It's because of this sort
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of social justice bail reform where they're letting criminal criminals
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: out on bail instead of putting them in jail. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: our communities are being killed and hurt, and she doesn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: seem to care. She doesn't seem to care. She relies
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: on these horrible social justice talking points, and she's doing
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: exactly what her citizens and the people she represents don't want.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You notice how many people are being killed in Saint
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Louis as he just mentioned, that are actually African Americans.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You notice that, right, she doesn't care about black lives matter.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: If she did, she'd beat saying something totally the opposite
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of this all over the country. And this double standard,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: which is abundantly clear. Now knowing that Corey Bush is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: shelling out seventy thousand, she says, I'm a show out
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: seven million? Who cares? I deserve to be on this earth.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I deserve to have protection. Now, do you need protection? No? No, no, no,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I need protection. I deserve it. Listen to another conversation
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: from Fox Business this morning talking about this democratic double standard.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Is Zori Congress from and Cory Bush under fire this
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: morning over these comments over her own security? Watch this.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I have private security because my body is worth being
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: on this planet. Right now, I'm going to make sure
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I have security because I know I have had attempts
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: on my life, So suck it up. In defunding the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: police has to happen. We need to defund the police
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and put that money into social safety net now in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis, where she's a member of Congress from, I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: just curious. Do other people's bodies not deserve to be
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: on this planet right now? Do their bodies not matter
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to all the black lives more than one hundred black
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: people that have been murdered in your district so far
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this year? Did their bodies not deserve to be on
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this planet right now? I'm just just curious, like, like,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: whose body deserves to be on this planet? Only yours? Right?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Who is whose body matters. Is if you're famous on Instagram,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: your body matters. But if you're just a hard working
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: mom or dad or grandparent who gets blown away by
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the violent criminals in Saint Louis, your body doesn't matter.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: If you've got a bunch of people following on Twitter
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: or Facebook, you met, your body matters. The Republican Congressional
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Committee just released a new ad using Corey Bush to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: show exactly what's happening with the Democratic Party defending spending
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: thousands of dollars on private security and still demanding we
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: defund the police, saying suck it up. Here's part of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: their ad. We are clearly in city seeing a rise
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in primates, a fact, murders and other violent primes rose
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: sharply in cities across the country. I'm going to make
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: sure I have security people. If I end up spending
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: two hundred thousand, if I spend ten ten more dollars
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: on it, you know what, I get to be here
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to do the work, So suck it up. In defunding
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the police has to happen. We need to defund the police. Yeah,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: all they said was it's time to vote them out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: The ads shows statistics of a huge rise in crime
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: all over the country, while Democrats wanted to defund the police,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: but still use tens of thousands of dollars for police
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: protection for themselves because their bodies matter, right, their bodies matter.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to it. Dagan mcgowell had to say
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: on Fox about this double standard that the media is
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: not covering. Yeah, suck it up. Okay. It was recently
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: revealed that Bush has shoved out seventy thousand dollars from
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: private security in the last three months, despite push the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: defund the police movement. Diggan your reaction. I talked about
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: this on the five yesterday and she is directly saying
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I need myself, I need to be safe and secure
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and protected so I can stay in my job and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: make sure that you and people across the country are
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: not safe and secure and protected. She values her life
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: more at a greater value than an elderly woman, an
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: elderly man, young children who are being shot in the streets, mothers, fathers,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: literally everyone. Instead of let them meet cake, this is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: let them eat lead. Yeah. And then she actually says,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: suck it up, Mark, Yeah, yeah, no, this I mean,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this is one of the most arrogant hypocritical things anybody
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: could do with a straight up middle finger to all
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of her constituents. When she says suck it up, she's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: basically saying, my life's more important than yours. Hey, all
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of you, you get no protection. In fact, you're going
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to get less protection since we're going to defund the police.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But me, I need it. I need protection, So I'm
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: going to use your money to get me some private security.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So the question for her is do you like the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: police or not? And do you understand that if your
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: entire city, county, state has a better, stronger police force,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that that actually improves safety. And Maria and Dagan, it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: almost like she doesn't really want to defund the police.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: She wants to privatize the police so that the rich
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: can buy police and the poor gets screwed. That's what
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: she wants to do. She wants to privatize them. Well, well,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: what gets me is that, you know, after all of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the impact we've seen, Dagan, what are shootings up, what
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are homicides looking at? I mean, crime is skyrocketing, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: it's all because of these nonsense policies like defunding the police,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: wide open borders, cashless bail, she was behind pushing all
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of this stuff, and we see the numbers. Crime is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: spiking in virtually every major city in the United States.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And one of the bigger problems is it's not just
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the defunding the police. It is the left wing liberals
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: who are on city councils, who are not just mayors
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and governors, but city councils, and the prosecutors who refuse
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to put these criminals in jail, who refused to charge
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: them and take them to trial. So this is this
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is much harder to reverse. And I just wanted to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: point out that Corey Bush threatened Mark McCloskey, the mccloskeys
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: who were given a pardon for you know, brandishing, we're
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: protecting their home. Quite frankly, when there were protesters, she
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: said about Mark McCloskey, his day will come. His day
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: will come, isn't it nice? Yeah, his day will come.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: In other words, put a hit on the mccleskeys who
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: are in Saint Louis because they defended their property, defend
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: their lives against Black Lives Matter anarchists. Yeah, yeah, there
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you go. By the way, if you want to know
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: what real world life looks like from many African Americans.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: An African American boy was pushed to his death, as
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: mother says she wants more action from the police. There's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a headline for you, but it doesn't matter, right because
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: we're going to defund the police. Who's gonna investigate what
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: happened to this young boy? She says, she needs them
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to find and do more. Right, someone pushed her son
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to his death, So who's going to investigate that? Who's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: going to investigate all of the violent crimes in Saint
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Louis if you defund the police. But this is all
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: about what she said at the very beginning. My life
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is worth more than your life. I have private security
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: because my body is worth being on this planet. Right now,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure I have security because I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: know I have had attempts on my life, So suck
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it up. In defunding the police has to happen. We
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: need to defund the police and put that money into
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: social safety net. My body is important, not yours, not
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: your kid, not your grandmother's, not your grandfather's. No, no,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: my body. This is the ad that every single person
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: who's running for office nationwide in a high crime area
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: should be running. This is the Democratic Party This is
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: what they believe. They believe that their body is worth
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: more than your body, their life is worth more than
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: your life, that their existence on this earth is worth
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: more than anybody else. Fulton County da urges people now
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: not to go into the Piedmont Park alone at night.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Just so you know, Atlanta Mayor Kesha Lantz, who defunded
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the police, now wants to make her city safer. Yeah,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: she's trying to make it safer before she makes her exit.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: But you listen to what's going on in Atlanta where
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: they've defunded the police and pushed back right. The Atlanta
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Journal Constitution this morning reporting that the Fulton County District
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Attorney is now, she says, assuming more prominent roles in
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: high profile crime investigations due to public outcry. Said there
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was unity among all the agencies investigating the stabbing desks
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: in Piedemart Park of a midtown woman and her dog.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: There's been public outcry. People are saying enough is enough.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Willis said she wanted to send a strong message the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: public that the federal government, the city, and the county
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: are working together and make sure the crime is solved.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: We'll hold on you guys, are defund the police. Last week,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: what changed willis after saying she wanted to send a
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: strong message of the d DA there that they federal
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that the federal government that sitting in the county are
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: going to work together to make sure we solve this
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: crime of a woman running with a dog who were
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: both stabbed to death. And Piedemart Park, they've now told
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you just don't go to the park, or at least
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: don't go to the park alone. Well, at least don't
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: go to the park alone, especially at night. Quote. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: love Piedmart Park as well, but at this time we're
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: asking you to go with three to four friends. Did
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you hear me? This is what happens when you defund
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the police. The parks that you pay for are now
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: off limits. The parks that you pay for, you're not
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: allowed to go unless you go with three or four friends.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: And well, my question is, how does that change anything,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: because you're not allowed to have a gun in the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: park or a weapon in the park to protect and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: defend yourself. Which brings us back to the headline here,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the heavil line that started this whole conversation with people
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: finally having enough in Atlanta is the headline that reads,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the lifeless bodies of Katherine Janice, forty, and her three
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: year old pitbull Bowie were found by Janis's longtime girlfriend,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Emma Clark in the orarly morning hours on July the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, near the park's interests. He has marked that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: near the park's entrance. Janice, a local bartender, had been
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: stabbed multiple times, leaving her badly disfigured. In an interview
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: with Channel two Action News that aired Thursday, Clark said
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the couple had been weary of crime in the Midtown area,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: but Janie, according to Clark, still felt safe in the park.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I talked to Kitty about this before, and she knew
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: we were worried about her being out at night. Willis,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: who shared a podium with Fulton Sheriff and the acting
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: US Attorney, acknowledged the significan I can attention the case
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: is receiving quote every murder, in every case requires different resources.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: The investigation stands out because there had not been a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: murder in Piedmont Park for so long, because it's a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: public treasure. They haven't told me anything extra, Clark said,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know about suspects. I don't know if they're
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: looking into anything like that. I just want them to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: find who ever did this. I've been angry a lot
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: of the time just because none of it makes any
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: sense to me. The information vacuum has been filled by
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: amateurs online, resulting in rumors. Authorities have denounced Willis, as
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms did two days earlier, dispelled rumors
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: as serial killer might be involved. We have no evidence
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of that at this point. The veteran prosecutor also said
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it was truly to know whether Geness's death may have
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: been a hate crime, referencing Midtime's large LGBTQ plus community.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Mayor Bottoms has said there's no evidence the incident was
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a hate crime, but did describe the case as atypical.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: This is not for the description of anything we've seen,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: she said. Police release photos of six people who were
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in the park around the time investigators believe the Genus
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: was killed. They're asking for the public health and checking
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the security cameras in the area. Nine different security cameras
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: inside the park didn't stop this heinous crime, and some
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: just outside it were installed in two thousand and eight
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and are now obsolete, said Atlanta's deputy Chief Operating Officers.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. You guys have got
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: cameras up from two thousand and eight that are obsolete,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you can't even use anymore, and then when you need
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the video, the video basically is worthless. Welcome to government work.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Atlanta's Deputy Chief Operating Officers said the camera's quarter are
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: not integrated with a new or cameras in the city,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and investigators are still working to determine whether they hold
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: any additional evidence. In other words, they may have just
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: not worked at all. Don't worry, though, The cities now
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: says they play install two hundred and fifty additional cameras
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: by December, according to Mayor. After this heinous crime, the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Journal Constitution submitting an open records request to the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: city related to the cameras at Piedmont Park. Fulton County
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Deputies have joined Atlanta police and dispatching extra patrol cars
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: in the area. But the reality is we've defunded the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: police in the area. So now this is what you get.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: This is what you get. So if you want to
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: go to the park, you need to go with three
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: or four of your friends. He can't have a gun
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in the park. So good luck defending yourself. But I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: guess there's three or four you, then maybe only one
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of you will die. I'm still trying to figure out
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that logic. If three or four of you are in
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: there and you can't defend yourself, do you just run
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: in different directions and hopefully they'll get confused on which
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: one of you to stab, which one of you to murder.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: There are consequences when you defund the police. And this
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: is exactly why Buckhead right now in Atlanta, Fulton County
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is actually trying to get a divorce from Atlanta. Buckhead
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: is suing to get out of Atlanta because they said
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the rise in crime, the violent rising crime, and the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: defund the police. They're not willing to live in a chaos,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: insane place, just like I mentioned at Piedmont Park where
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: now you got to go with three or four year
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: closest friends, hoping that you're less likely to be murdered,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: stabbed to death and your dog. By the way, For
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: people that are wondering why this case is getting so
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: much attention, I'll tell you why. It's not because the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: woman knows gay. It's not because it was in the park.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: It was because there was a dog involved, because apparently
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: we value dogs lives more than human lives. If she
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: was just by herself, we wouldn't even be talking about
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: this case nationwide. But you throw a dog in the mix,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and now we all freak out. We value human life
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: in this kind of tree less than we value a
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: dog's life. Go look at all the posts that people
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: are talking about the poor dog, not the poor human being.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: But when you have elected officials, just like this congresswoman
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: who comes out and who says her life is worth
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: more than your life, and that's why she gets security
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: while defunding the police, you should understand exactly why we
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: don't value life in these liberal cities. Just like this
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: woman who's murdered, we value her dog's life more than hers.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: We value the dog's life more than a human being's life.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I have private security because my body is worth being
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: on this planet right now. That's right, because I'm a Democrat,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I'm an elected official. I got a lot of people
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that follow me on Twitter. I got a bunch of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Instagram followers, So my life is worth more than your life.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Don't you understand that I get security? Why I take
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: away your security? So get over it? Suck it up
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: because I'm defunding the police. My life deserves to be
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: on this planet. I'm important for her own security. Watch this.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I have private security because my body is worth being
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: on this planet. Right now, I'm going to make sure
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I have security because I know I have had attempts
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: on my life. So suck it up and defunding the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: police has to happen. We need to defund the police
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and put that money into social safety nets. Yeah, social
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: safety nets, because I'll keep everybody safe. Isn't it funny
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: how we call it social safety nets. Meanwhile, you get
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: murdered in a park and your dog gets stabbed to death,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: will you defund the police everywhere? But you're not stupid
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: enough to do it in your own life. So you
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: spend seventy grand on your own protection because you say
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you've had attempts in your life. I'm still waiting for
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: one journalist. I'm not a journalist, okay, I'm a commentator.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It's not my job to do an investigation into the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: lies of this congressman. But even I know that she
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: just lied. When was there an actual attempt on her life?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Where the charges? Where's the investigation? Where's the police work,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: where's the documentation? There's a difference between getting a tweet
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: from somebody saying I hope you die, which I get
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: just about every day, and someone actually attempting to kill you.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Surely there is a journalist out there that will fact
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: check this. Surely there has got to be a journalist
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that will take a really deep dive look at this
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, Congresswoman Corey Bush, at what date and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: what time did someone try to murder you? Where is
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the nine one one call? Where is the police report?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Where is the person or do they find them? They
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: catch them? As an open investigation is an on going investigation.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Got a lot of questions, but I'm sure she can
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: get away with saying this because she's a Democrat. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: when you're a Democrat, the hell you want to it
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's true or not. Just say it,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: say whatever you want to say, and you can get
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: away with it because you're a member of the squad.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: And how dare anyone question a member of the squad.
• 26:24

• 26:26
