• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Remember just a couple of years ago, when Black Lives
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Matters started demanding that we defund the police, and then
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: people actually started doing it. Elected officials started jumping on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the bandwagon, saying that we need to have bail reform
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and prison reform and prosecution reform, and then we decided
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we'll just start abolishing police departments. So what happened because
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of that in cities where they started defunding the police,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we know exactly what happened. Anarchy has broken out. Now.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, who has supported Black Lives Matter, who has
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: supported defunding the police initiatives even in her home city,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they've got real problems right now. How bad is it?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Even Nancy Pelosi has now admitted for the first time
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that there is an attitude of lawlessness in our country.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Fact is that there is an attitude of lawlessness in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: our country that springs from I don't know where. I'm sorry,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you don't know where. You don't know where this is
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: coming from. Really, you have no idea, no clue where
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: this is coming from. It all, well, let me just
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: remind you of where it's coming from. It's coming from you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It's coming from people like you who have been saying
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again that you
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: are totally okay with lawlessness because you want to defund
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the police. You've demonized as a police, You've you've turned
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: them into the worst people in the world. You've told
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the society that you're not supposed to respect police. You've
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: indoctrinated in children that the police are somehow the bad guys.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And now you want to say that there's an attitude
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of lawlessness in this country, which we agree on, there's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: bipartisan support for that. But the exact same time you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: want to say you don't know where it came from.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: The fact is that there is an attitude of lawlessness
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in a country that springs from I don't know where.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe you do. I do know Nancy came from. You.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Let's go to San Francisco real quick and just talk
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about how bad things are in San Francisco and the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: robbery infested areas of San Francisco that's Nancy Pelosi's hometown,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: as well as Oakland, California. Some residents are so fearful
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: now of having their cars broken into in broad daylight
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: or at night, doesn't even matter that they're deliberately leaving
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: their car trunks open so the robbers won't shatter their windows. Quote.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: We see the aftermath of car break ins all too often,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: windows smash, glasses shattered. But now some people said they're
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: just so fed up with a lawlessness that they're purposely
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: leaving their trunks open, their car windows rolled down, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the cars unlocked, hoping that that will at least spare
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: them the hefty bill to get it fixed. People have
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: been posting signs on their cars begging quote, please use
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the door or please do not break glass. Nothing inside.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: You can check one witnessing trunk left wide open posts
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on social media. Imagine having to clean out your car
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and leaving it open and public just to peep, just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: so people won't break your windows. San Francisco, we're looking
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: sad man. Move over to Oakland. Oakland's deputy interer and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: police chief a prize that people were leaving their trunks open,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: admitted it doesn't really surprise me. Former deputy San Francisco
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Police Chief Garrett tom who spent nearly forty years in
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the police force, said he had never seen anything like
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it what they're seeing right now, commenting that leaving trucks
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: trunks open was an invitation or disaster, adding, they could
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: steal your batteries or go into your glove compartment, find
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: out where you live. If they leave their trunk open
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: some cars, depending on what kind of car you have,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you still can get inside the interior San Francisco Police Department.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Since they went defund the police has now reported that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one they have seen a thirty two
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: percent increase in car break ins a twenty five percent
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: increase in auto burglaries compared to twenty twenty. In Oakland,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one has seen a twenty seven percent increase
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in both categories over last year. ABC seven put it
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: this way on TV. We see the aftermath of car
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: break ins all too often windows smashed, glass shattered. But
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: now some people are getting so fed up they're leaving
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: their trunks open, hoping that'll at least spare them the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: hefty bill to get it fixed. Call it the price
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of parking in the Bay Area. Racing for a break in.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Everything is broken, people here at least try to be persuasive,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: writing please use the door, or just flat out big,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: please don't break the glass, nothing inside. Yet it still happens. Sadly,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: even while you're driving, just waiting for the light to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: turn green. This smash and grab happened two weeks ago
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in Japantown, but now it's come to this. Trunks left
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: open and broad daylight in Oakland. A witness writing, imagine
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: having to clean out your car and leaving it open
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just so people won't break your windows. It doesn't really surprising.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Oakland's deputy Interim Police Chief, Drenn and Lindsay says it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the first she's heard of it. But it's happening in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: San Francisco too. Well, we're in different times. That's unbelievable. Former,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: by the way, we're in different times. It's unbelievable. That's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: where this former deputy chief said, Garrett Tom It's unbelievable.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: We're in different times. So what are the different times?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: What change? You got rid of the police? When you
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: get rid of the police, total anarchy breaks out now.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Pelosi says she has no idea where America's increase in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: crime is coming from. That's right. House speaker NaNs. Pelosi
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: said she didn't know where the increase of lawlessness in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: American cities is coming, and she said at this Wednesday
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: press conference, Pelosi was asked about democratic San Francisco mayor
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Breed calling defunding the police bull blank and launching an
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: emergency police intervention targeting San Francisco's massive rising crime and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: drug problem issues and rates. It's absolutely outrageous. Obviously, it
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: cannot continue, Pelosi responded, cannot continue. Really, it is that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: there is an attitude of lawlessness in our country that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: springs from I don't know where. Maybe you do. Then
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: she says, quote, we cannot have that lawlessness become the norm. Well,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it is now because you guys have defined the police.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: You've demon not as a police, You've allowed the police
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to be attacked. You won't let the police do their jobs.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And then the prosecutors that are all liberal and woke,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: even when you catch people doing flash mob robberies, you
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: let them all go. You've done bail, reformer, you can
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: commit Hainah's crimes and immediately get out of jail. And
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: these people have they've coordinated with each other, she went
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on to say, and they plan traffic patterns and the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: rest so that they can reach their goal and depart
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: very quickly. She added, So she understands it, folks, And
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: some of it is again high level stores, as the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: retailers have told us, and some of it is your
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: local Walgreens, but none of it is acceptable, and again
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it has to be stopped. Pelosi said, well, then why
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: don't you stop it? Quote, this isn't like somebody stealing
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: something to go home because they don't have money to buy. Oh,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: so now we're saying it's okay to rob people and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to steal things if you don't have the money to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: buy things. She says, this is about stealing for profits.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. The Pelosi, the Speaker
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of the House, third in command of the United States government,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: has just said that if you need something, it's totally
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: okay to rob, but if you're doing it for profit,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that's unacceptable. Man. That's gonna be a great message that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is clearly going to resonnate with a lot of people.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That is gonna have a significant impact on stopping crime
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco where you got to leave your trunk
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: open hoping that people won't smash out the glass of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: your car. Number three in command, Pelosi also mentioned an
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: upcoming bill on cracking down on thefts and online sales,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: because that's what everybody's really caring about right now about
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: twenty four thieves whereveryone's still up to thirty one thousand
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: dollars of goods from cvs during fall of twenty twenty
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in northern California. She says. Within the build the Energy
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and Commerce Committee has something called inform legislation that require
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: those who are selling online, especially to establish their legitimacy
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: as to where the products came from, because that would
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: allow people to not have to steal from them and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: then put it online and make profits off of it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: So that's your fix, not more police not actually prosecuting
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the criminals when they commit Hainda's crimes. Now you want
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to start a new online database that before I can
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: list something for sale on eBay or Craig's list, I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: gotta give you my identity, and somehow you think that's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: gonnas all the problems. Sure, okay, I got it. Now
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: makes total sense, She says. The Judicial Committee has a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: bill Save Shopping, which addresses the same problem and in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of a different way in terms of holding platforms accountable
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and those selling things accountable for the prominence of those goods.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: She went on to say, out of the question that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: people should be able to think that they can just
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: steal things profit for them and not have any accountability.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: That's wrong. Now let's go back to the statement for
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a moment ago. She says, this is like somebody stealing
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: something to go This isn't like somebody, I should say,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: stealing something to go home because they don't have money
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to buy it. This is about stealing for profit. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: we are excusing people stealing things if you need it
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: because you don't have the money to buy it. Now,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I could be a Louis of time. But as long
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: as you take it home and you don't sell it
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: on eBay, she understands why you're doing it. You do
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a flashmob to go get some new air Jordan's for example,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: as long as you're gonna wear them, she understands it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Just don't sell it on Craigslist, because that's when she's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: really mad at you. Nancy Pelosi is clearly making a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: play for criminals to support the Democratic Party. That's what
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: they've been doing really for the last several years. Black
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Lives Matter was about criminal activity, was about making sure
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that criminals were not held accountable and family members of criminals,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: for a quote, petty crimes would not be held accountable
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and therefore they would vote for Democrats. That's when we
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: started defunding the police and demonizing the police. We now
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: have a test case, folks. This is the test case. Right.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: We now know what the test case is. We understand it, right,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: we comprehend it. The test case is pretty clear now, folks.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: We can see it. It's anarchy's total psychotic nature of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: people in the country. Listen to another report from ABC
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: seven in the Burbank area, just from last night. Yeah, Brandy,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: this shows how bad the problem is and how desperate
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: some shoppers are getting. We're seeing this primarily up in
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the Bay Area. People are literally leaving the trunks of
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: their cars open or the hatch on their suv open.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And the idea is that thieves will see there's nothing
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: worth taking in the car and they won't be smashing
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: windows and rummaging through vehicles. And that may be one answer,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: but the downside, of course, is it also makes it
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: really easy to steal somebody's car. Wow, we're in different times.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. I mean, if they leave their trunk open,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you know, some car, depending on what kind of car
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you have, you still can get inside to the interior. Yeah,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of newer cars, those back seats fold down
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: into the trunk. It's really easy to go through the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: trunk into the vehicle then steal the car. So that's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a real concern for these people who are taking this action.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: But again it illustrates how bad the crime problem is
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and how desperate people are becoming, how desperate people are becoming.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Here's my question for Nancy Pelosian, for all these other morons, right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: my question for you is why aren't you prosecuting these people.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: San Francisco Mayor had to come out because people are
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: now saying, maybe we need to recall London breed. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: she said this in response to the out of control
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: crime in every category. It's time that the rain of
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: criminals who are destroying our city, it is time for
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it to come to an end, and it comes to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: an end when we take the steps to be more
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: aggressive with law enforcement. Now, this is the same woman
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that was in favor of defunding the police. It's the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: same woman that stood with Black Lives Matter. This's the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: same woman that allows out for anarchy in her city
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to reign for the last several years only because the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: political winds of even the woke, homeless, crazy socialist tyrant
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: left in San Francisco has said they've had enough of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: this crap. As she now come out and say, I'm
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough on crime, really more aggressive with the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: changes in our policies. What you're gonna actually like, I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: don't know, stop criminals and charge them at crimes and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: not have bail reform where as soon as you catch them,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you don't even let them stay in jail for eight
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: hours or eight minutes. And less tolerant of all that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: has destroyed our city. Oh, she's mad. Now, folks, we
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: are gonna be less tolerant. Yeah, I'm getting angry. Now.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I've been in favor of defund the police. I've been
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: in favor of you know, bail reform. But now now
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna cuss on TV to show you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I ain't playing that has destroyed our city. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: well you help destroy it, ma'am. You and Nancy Pelosi,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: y'all are all friends. Now. Yeah, I'm tired of this.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I love it when politicians drop drop curse words,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: because you know, it's like total fabrication when they do it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: All that has destroyed our city. Yeah, you're the one
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that created the destroyed your city. That's on you, ma'am.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That's that's straight up on you. Peter doocey uh used
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the Fox News Christmas tree being burned to the ground
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: to show how much hypocrisy there is from the left. Now,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: remember they caught the guy that caught the Christmas tree
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: on fire, and the White House has now been pressed
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: on the nationwide spike in violent crime and crime, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: they use examples like, hey, we got this guy that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: burned down our Christmas tree, and this guy immediately got
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: out of jail. This guy has committed like he's got,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you know, thirty pages rap sheet of all this crap
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: he's done illegal and they catch him and this is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a guy that has threatened to do it to the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: NBC Christmas Tree. And you guys didn't even keep jail
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: because if your woke reform on bail at the most.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: But I guess what good does it do if you're
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: going to give police departments extra money if they arrest
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: bad guys and they bring them to jail and then
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: they're not prosecuted, they're just right back out all the streets.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I think Peter would our focus is on. Remember this
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is all part of the bail reform, right, It was
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: racist to lock people up. It was unfair and unjust
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: African Americans and minorities that they couldn't afford to get
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: out of jail when they committed Hamah's crime. So therefore
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: we decided, or the left decided, we got to have
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: quote bail reform because it was racist to have a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: dollar amount connected with somebody in jail and then keeping
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: them in jail. They said, you can't do that. So
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: they decided that part of the Black Lives Matter was
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: bail reform, and all these woke you know, prosecutors like,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna let people out of jail automatically.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: The police will catch them committing Hama's crimes, burning down
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Christmas trees and will immediately let them back down the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: streets because it's unfair to hold them because they don't
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: have any money, assuming that minorities. And by the way,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: how racist is that you're you're literally in saying, hey,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: we know that black people, and we know that African
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Asian people, and we know that Hispanic people, they don't
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have any money. That's what you're saying. They don't have cash.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: They can't get out of prison. Is easily some white
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: cracker out there, right, they can't get out of prison.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It's not fair. Are you white people got cash? How
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: racist is that? Really? You're literally saying that black people
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: don't have money. How racist is that? And so they said,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: we got to have bail reform. We gotta make it
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: where those that need to get out of prison can
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: get out of prison based on the color of their skin,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: so they will not have to pay cool works for me.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I guess right, This is this is this is what
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: woke sounds like in real life. Listen to her response,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and is making sure that the local leaders, the police
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: officers and departments who know what they need for these
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: communities have the assistance and the funding they need. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that's what we're working around the clock on. So the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: final one would be just in the last week, we
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: saw a New York closet item about a pickpocket with
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: more than thirty arrests. Back out on the street, we've
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: seen an arsonist burned down a half million dollars Christmas
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: tree in New York City, back out on the streets.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Does the president think that that's good governing? Again? I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: think I've spoken to the President's concerns about retail theft.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: If you have specific and the actions we've taken for
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: specific cases, I would point to the local police departments
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: or the Department of Justice. Go ahead, Kelly on the mansion.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I love it right. We're not going to answer this question.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That's what We're going to kick it back to the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: local people. We'll just you know, we'll just kick it
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: back to the local people. And Jen Psaki refuses to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: call it Dems who are soft on crime and their
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: policies that have led to a rise in violent crime
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: because they were all in favor of this. I think
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it's possible that these cities are dealing with these smash
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and grab primaries right now with increase in criminal activity
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: because some prosecutors are too soft on crime. I would say,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: we have seen I'm not going to attribute the reasoning
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: from here. What I will tell you is we have
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: seen an increase in crime over the course of the pandemic.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: The a range of reasons for that, and what we're
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: for our focus is on is what we can do
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to address it. There it is. Yeah, we're not going
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to condemn it. We're not gonna We're not gonna say, yes,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: soft on crime is a bad policy. We're not gonna
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: throw our side under the bus for doing what you
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: just described. Here's another local news report, Fox nine, far
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: away from San Francisco. This is in Minneapolis where they
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: defunded the police and then they said, all right, screw it,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: We're gonna give money back the police because we can't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: keep living like this. It's like a third world country.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: A nearby doorbell camera captured the desperate cries tearing through
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: what was a quiet afternoon near Lake nicolemus The story
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: behind those screams is even more terrifying. These are stories
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you hear about happening to other people. Aaron Karnowski was
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: getting ready to take her four year old daughter to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: dance class last Thursday. After running some errands, She walked
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: out to her car and saw two men rummaging through
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it and a woman in a second vehicle watching. One
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of them came behind me, put me in a headlock,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: pulled me to my feet. There was a gun pointed
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: at my head the whole time, with hoods up and
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: masks on. The two men led Aaron back into her home.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: When we walked in, my daughter was standing right there,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: so she did see me and a headlock with a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: gun with two very scary guys. The entire ordeal was
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: over in about two minutes. Her car phone and wallet
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: all stolen, But the real price of this crime cost Aaron,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: her husband, Kalin, and their two daughters much more than
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: any physical possession. I have to take a leave from
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: work to heal, to process this. That can't be replaced, right,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I mean that's the hard part. Our life has flipped
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: upside down because of this. The family doesn't want to
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: leave the place they've called home for fourteen years. They
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: want accountability on all levels from these perpetrators, from the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: city and from the legal system taking crimes like this seriously.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Whether it's manpower or the justice system taking a higher
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: priority with these something needs to change with they continue
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to get more brazen, more violent, and it's only a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: matter of time before somebody gets seriously injured or killed. Yeah,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: welcome to what happens when you guys defund the police.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Did you think it wasn't gonna happen? Did you? I mean,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I mean really, did you think this wasn't gonna happen?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And let's let's move away from Minneapolis. Let's let's let's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: move away from there and go to Chicago. Chicago bus
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: drivers now can't even do their jobs. Bus drivers are
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: now demanding more protection police actually be on the buses
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: because they're being assaulted on such a regular basis. Now,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Chicago is a place where crime is out of control.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: They're the murder capital of the country. You get not
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: just ten or twelve people shot there on the weekends,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: it's usually forty or fifty or sixty people shot there
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: on the weekends. They are also a defund the police city.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: They are a bail reform at city. They are a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: prison reformed city. The das. They are refusing to prosecute
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: people that are committing crimes. They're like these flash mob robberies.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: So the police are catching them, they're bringing them into
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: getting book and they're dropping all the charges, letting them
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: go home. Well, if that happens, why not start beating
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: up some bus drivers take a list in the local
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Fox thirty two news there Yeah, the union that represents
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Chicago a CTA bus drivers said they're tired of taking
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a beating while simply trying to do their jobs. And
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: now there, if you will ready to fight back. The
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Amalgamated Transit Union is working with about five private security
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: companies to provide the protection they say they aren't getting
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: from police or CTA security. They say there've been more
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: than three hundred incidents of bus drivers being assaulted or
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: injured this year alone, So starting tonight, the security guards
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: will be posted at a handful of hotspot routes where
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: drivers have recently been attacked, like here at the corner
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: of Washington and Michigan, and they'll check that everything's okay
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: as the buses pull up. Last week and a veteran
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: bus driver was badly beaten by some teams who joined
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a large flash mob at Millennium Park, and today his
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: wife spoke at a new conference with Transit Union officials,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: saying her husband was just trying to do his job.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: There has to be a stand I'm protecting these bus
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: drivers in a way that you have no idea. I
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: just hope this never happens to anybody. Enough is enough.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: We're fed up, We're tired. All we want to do
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: is provide y family, not take trips to the emergency room.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Not take trips the emergency room. That bus driver just said,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you look at what's happened under Joe Biden. Crime is up,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: gas price are up, illegal crossings are up, and you've
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: got a president of United States America that's still talking
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: about Donald Trump. We got mayors who defunded the police
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and advocated for all of these reforms who are now furious.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And the reason why they are furious is because the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: San Francisco mayor is now saying, just kidding, I didn't
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: implement any of that. No, No No, Instead, I want you
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm mad as hell and I've had enough.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It's time that the reign of criminals who are destroying
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: our city, it is time for it to come to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: an end. And it comes to an end when we
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: more aggressive with the changes in our policies, and less
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: tolerant of all that has destroyed our city. Yeah. Yeah,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: let's drop some bombs there that'll tell all these criminals.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. You think it's just Chicago or New York
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: or San Francisco where this has spread. No, this is
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: part of the democratic socialist culture. CBS three in Philadelphia,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: this is what they're dealing with as the city is
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a gun violence crisis continues members of the community called
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: on the killing to stop. I wouldn't assuse. Anchor Natasha
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Brown is in the CBS three News with more Natasha
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Well Jessica, students and community groups all stood in silence
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: today at city Hall hoping there's signs and pictures of
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: young victims speak volumes. These are just some of the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: faces behind the staggering statistics of gun violence in Philadelphia,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the young people who make up the historic level of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: murders so far this year. Mackay was killed coming at Burgercade.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: We have lost many family members. Veronica Joyner is founder
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of Mathematics, Civics and Sciences charter school in Philadelphia, and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: she's felt the deep loss of current and former students
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: whose lives were cut short by gun violence. She's surrounded
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: by some of her students and community organizations and a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Silence against Violence demonstration outside of city Hall. We decided
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to do this because there's too many murders in our city.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Five hundred and twenty four is too many. One is
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: too many. The group is calling on city officials to
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: do more to crack down on guns and crime, using
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the voices of young students personally impacted. I know two
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: young people. One was a cousin, another one was a friend.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It's crazy how close gun violence can actually hit and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really affect you until it hits home. I personally,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I said moustiple friends shot walking home from practice, walking
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to the story, just doing being a kid. Disagree. The
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: silent protest spoke louder than words. Young people living in fear,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: scarred by the gun violence that surrounds them. How many
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: more children has to die before someone actually steps up
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and do its. Philadelphia was once known as the city
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of brotherly love. We're now known as Khiladelphia, the city
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: of brotherly violence and hate. Khiladelphia. That's what people are saying.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: By the way, that's a city that also said we
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: are going to defund the police. Now Jensaki again at
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the White House. Because they don't know how to play
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: this politically, refusing to call out Democrats soft on crime
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: policies have led to the rise in violent crime in
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: liberal cities. They just don't know what to do because
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: they're like, well, hold on a second, we were on
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: if we if we come out and we condemn this,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and are we are we condemning Black lives matter? Right?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Are we are we condemning these liberal policies. We don't
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: know what to do, so we can't condemn it yet
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: until they tell us what we need to do. Do
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you think it's possible that these cities are dealing with
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: these smash and grab primeries right now and increase in
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: criminal activity because some prosecutors are too sow on crime.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I would say, we have seen I'm not going to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: attribute the reasoning from here. What I will tell you
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: is we have seen an increase in crime over the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: course of the pandemic. The a range of reasons for that,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and what we're for our focus is on is what
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: we can do to address it. Oh okay, so you
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: want to address it because we already know what the
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: problem is. These prosecutors are not doing their job, you know.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I'll go back to what Jensaki said this week about
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Jesse small Latin when he was convicted, said lying to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the police, particularly about something as hands to hate crime,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: is something that we condemned. It was only after he
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: was convicted they say that these are the same people
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: that put out statements defending Jesse Smollett without even looking
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: at any of the facts. Okay, that's that's the reality
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of the situation. Bernard Carrick was on Tucker's show the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: other night. He was asked about violent crime in America.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: America's crime wave is hitting everywhere. Hit their Christmas tree,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: which I think is significant, happen million dollar Christmas tree.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And this is what he had to say about all
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: these Democrats that are refusing to condemn the violence and
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: nine eight s plays like we gotta get it under control.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I'm at as hell. You guys created this. You're the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: ones that did it. You're the ones that said, defund
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the police, stop hiring police, bail reform, prison reform, everything's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: racist and anybody that's a minority that it's caught committe
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: at crime. But let him go. Bernie Carrick is the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: form police Commission in the City of New York. He
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: joins us tonight, thanks so much for coming on now.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Hate crimes seem to be the primary category of crimes.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not clear what a hate crime is or why
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: it's different from a normal crime. I think the whole
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: category is scary and political. But since it is the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: dominant category of crime, why is burning Christmas trees not
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: a hate crime? According to the DOJ, Well, it should
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: be not only to the DOJ, it should be to
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the City of New York, to the state of New York.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: You know the problem I think we have, Tucker, is,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: over the last several years, you have governors like Andrew
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Cuomo that institute these laws like Bell Reform laws that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: for example, right now in New York City, eighty three
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: percent of the people arrested on gun charges are immediately
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: released and sent back in to the community. You have
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: prosecutors who don't want to prosecute there are more focused
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: on targeting police than they are targeting the bad guys
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: in the streets are dealing with things like this. And
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: then you have mayors, these radical left wing mayors that
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: basically a allow this homeless issue, and a lot of
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: it's not homeless, it's mentally ill. It's people that don't
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: belong in the streets. They should be in clinics, they
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: should be in hospitals, they should not be allowed to
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: stay out on the streets the way they are. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: you have a federal government like the President and his
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: administration that sits around in Washington, DC in a big circle.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Jerk wanted to know why crime, why violent crime is
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: going up, and murders going up and not doing anything
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: about it. I got to ask you. I mean, I
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: keep hearing that I should not be allowed to check
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: my family with a firearm because gun crime, and I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: can't be trusted with a gun. These same people who
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: want to take my guns away are releasing gun criminals
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: over eighty percent in New York. What's the thinking there?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: There is no thinking there is. This is the radical
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: left wing party, the Democratic Party, attacking the Second Amendment,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: doing everything in their power to take law abiding citizens
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: weapons away from them and basically letting all these criminals
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: out in the streets. You have increases in violent crime,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: increases in murder. You know this stuff can be fixed.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: It's easy. Yeah, we did it. New York City did it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Giuliani did it. Sixty five percent reduction in violent crime
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: of seventy percent reduction and murder, and eighty percent reduction
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and murder in the black communities where the violent crime
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: is the highest. Don't tell me it can be done.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I did it. But the bottom line is you need
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: real leadership that's not going to be afraid to call
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it what it is. And this stuff you're talking about
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: right now is exactly what the problem is they're afraid
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to even call it what it is. It seems like
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: it's about one tenth of one percent of the population
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: of New York is in favor of having drug addicts
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: living on the sidewalk. Everyone else hates it. But that
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: tiny percentage of people make all the decisions. How is
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: that democracy? It's not democracy. And I think we saw
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that in the last set of elections. You know, the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: bottom line is people have to get vocal. People have
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to stand up, stop sitting back and being cowered into
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: a position where you're afraid to talk. Because if you
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: sit back and you're afraid to talk and you're not
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: calling it out, then nobody's going to do anything about it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And I refer back to the nineties. Look, New York
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: City had a crime wave. Nobody wanted to do anything
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: about it until it was ready to implode. And when
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: it was ready to implode, that everybody said, huh, now
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: we have to fix it. Well, I think this whole
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: country is coming to that point right now. I think
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that's right we need. I couldn't agree with him more.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, but Nancy Pelosi walking out there grandstanding
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the way that she's grandstanding, give me a break out
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: there saying I'm mad about this and with this is
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: unacceptable behavior. You guys create, the behavior, you support, the behavior,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you advocated for the behavior. Don't let them rewrite history
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: on this one. They're the ones that are advocating for
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: defriend the police and how we still have okay, we
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: still have. Just to be very very very clear. When
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, there were people in my family
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: that used to laugh at how predictable it was what
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I was going to be for Halloween. My father was
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a police officer, and all I wanted to be during Halloween,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: year after year after year was a cop. I wanted
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: to be a police officer. I had no doubt in
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: my mind when I was a little kid, I was
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: going to grow up and I was going to be
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: a police officer. I thought it was incredible, the idea
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: of going out there and getting the bad guys, protecting
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and serving, putting your life on the line to protect
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: your fellow man year after year, Halloween after Halloween, my
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: parents just laughed like there was no even discussion about
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: what I was gonna be. It was just I to
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: wear my dad's bags. They made a little shirt with
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: real patches on it that looked like my dad's uniform.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be my dad. My goal was to
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: be a police officer. My backup was to be a
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: fighter pilot because of Top Gun the movie. Those were
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: my goals in life. That was it. Now. I wasn't
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the only one as a young person that want to
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: be a police officer. All of my friends wanted to
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: be what policeman, fireman, that's what you dressed up as,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: that's what you want to be. Because we held police
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and fire at a higher level in society than other people.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: There was a genuine protect and serve mentality. It was
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: an honorable profession. It was a profession of sacrifice. You
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: weren't going to get rich doing it, and the chances
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that you didn't come home have gotten higher and higher,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: as we all know too well in this country. Now.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I have three boys, and I will tell you right now,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: if any one of my three boys came to me
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: right now and said, Daddy, I want to be police
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: officer when I grow up, you know what, I tell them, No,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you don't. It's not worth it, not right now, not
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: in the society that we live in today. We live
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: in a society where people don't respect police. They don't
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: respect fire, they don't respect people with a badge, They
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: don't respect the people that sacrifice. They don't respect our troops.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: They don't respect the men and women that they beg
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to come when they need them desperately, whether it's at
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: a house fire, whether it's trapped in a car, whether
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: it's when someone's drowning, whether it's when you're sick. Because
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: there are people in this country that have dehumanized and
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: demonize police officers. They have demonized people that are willing
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: to sacrifice their lives to protect yours. We have seen
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the dehumanization of police in this country as well, where
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: now we have Black Lives Matter, where they chant things
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: like what do we want dead cops? When do we
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: want them now? Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: chance like f The police have been chanted at Black
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Lives malader rallies all over the country. We have seen
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Democrats jump on board the defund the police movement. Yes,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: we've had votes to defund the police, to actually shut
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: them down, to dismantle the police in Minneapolis. And now
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: we see that when any police officer makes a mistake,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: we see the left immediately turn on them and went
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to them to burn at the stake. It's like it's
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: revenge for all the bad police officers that have done
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: bad things in society. Now, let me also be clear,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think that police officers are all saints either.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Do I believe that there's such a thing as a
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: bad cop? Yes? Do I believe that there are people
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: in every profession that are bad people, including pastors yes,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: doctors yes. Do I believe the majority of them should
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: be indicted because the actions of very few. No, But
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the left sure as hell does, which brings me to
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Kim Potter. Kim Potter is a police officer that served
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: her community in the same community with a defunded one
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to dismantle disband the police department. She was a police
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: officer in Minnesota. She was a police officer in a
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: place it was pretty dangerous. Kim Potter mistakenly drew her
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: handgun instead of her taser during a traffic stop in
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: April in which she fatally shot Dantes Wright. Dantes Wright
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: was fighting back, Dantes Wright was not complying with the police.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Dantes Wright put everybody's life in danger, including his own.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Jurors have been deliberating since Monday about Potter's fate. She
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: served as an officer in the Brooklyn Center of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I should say for twenty six years. They were going
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: to decide if she was innocent or guilty guilty of
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: first degree, second degree or manslaughter charges in the death
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: of right Potter wins when the verdict was read, but
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: otherwise appeared not to react. That verdict has come down
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: and this is what it sounded like in the courtroom.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Oh miss Potter, please rise. I'm now going to read
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: your verdicts as it will as it will appear in
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the permanent court records of Henneman County. In the matter
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: of STATEUM Minnesota versus Kimberly Potter Courtfoile Number twenty seven CR.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Twenty one seventy four ninety we the jury on the
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: charge of manslaughter in the first degree while committing a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: misdemeanor on or about April eleven, twenty twenty one, in
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Henneman County, STATEUM Minnesota, find the defendant guilty and the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: verdict was agreed to at the hour of eleven forty
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: am and signed by the jury person. Twelve, twenty three,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: twenty one, the verdict on count two, is we the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: jury on the charge of manslaughter in the second degree
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: culpable negligence on or about April eleven, twenty twenty one,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: in Hennepin County, State of Minnesota, find the defendant guilty
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and that verdict was agreed to at ten thirty am
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: on twelve, twenty one, twenty one members of the jury,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: is this your true in correct verdicts? So say you one,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and SO say you all. Kim Potter found guilty on
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: all charges and Dante Wright's death. The part about this
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: story that irritates me the most, that makes me the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: most angry, is the fact that whether Potter had intended
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: to draw her taser handgun was quote not an issue
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: in the trial. Lawyers for both sides agreed that she
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: mistakenly drew the wrong weapon. In fact, on the bodycam video,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: you can hear saying taser, Taser, taser, and then the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: gun goes off instead, they said. The trial centered on
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: questions of whether she should have recognized she was holding
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the heavier metal gun, or whether she should have drawn
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: any weapon at all. Potter is now scheduled to be
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: sentenced on February eighteenth. The state sentencing guidelines recommend as
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: sense of roughly seven years for the first degree charge
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: and four years for the second degree charge, though prosecutors
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: indicated they would seek a longer sentence. You may remember
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: who the guy is, the attorney general in Minnesota. He's
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: a hardcore lefty, an anti cop attorney general by the
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: name of Keith Ellison. This guy is going to make
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: his career off of putting police off. The's in jail.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: He said. Accountability is not justice after the verdict was read.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Justice is restoration. Justice would be restoring Dante to life
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: and making the right family hole again. He added, let
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: me say this, Accidents happen. Should there be accountability for accidents?
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes the accountability is knowing for the rest of
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: your life that you took someone's life and made a mistake.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, there should also be accountability
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: in a different context. Here's an idea. Let's not fight
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the police. Here's another idea. Let's not resist the rest.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Here's another idea. As my father told me a long
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: time ago, and every parent should be having this conversation
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: with their child tonight. You don't negotiate with the police.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: That we have lawyers and a court system for that part.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: My dad told me, and he was a police officer,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care what's going on. When the police tell
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you to do something, you do it, because when you don't,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: you put your life at rich and the lives of
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: others around you at risk. You don't flinch. You always
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: do that. He told me. We have a justice system
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: for a reason, and that justice system says you have
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: the right to a jury trial of your peers. You
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: have the right to appear before a judge, you have
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the right to an attorney. You have the right to
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: remain silent so that you don't incriminate yourself. There is
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: no reason to negotiate with a police officer. If more
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: people took that advice, fewer people would have to deal
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: with what we're looking at today. I'll say something else
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: about this that I think is the scariest part, and
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: that's this. I would not let my children become police officers. Now.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I would advise against it, and I would mean it.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: It's not worth it. There are too many liberal prosecutors
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: in America today that will get street credit for prosecuting
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: police officers. This is how extreme the left has gotten,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: and the left doesn't care about your life. Look at
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the Chicago mayor coming out now begging the federal government
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: to send federal agents into Chicago to help her. Lori
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Lightfoot is now begging for police to be sent or
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: for federal agents to be sent to her city. Now
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: why is she doing that now? Because now things have
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: gotten so out of control, things have gotten so out
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: of hand that she has no other choice because it
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: starting to affect her poll numbers. This is the same
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: woman that said hell no when the same exact people
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: were offered to come into Chicago and help under Donald
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Trump's administration. Don't forget that. This is the same woman
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: that said you're not welcome here and refer to those
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: agents as undercover evil agents. But now she's saying, we've
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: got a problem, We've got a problem, and I need
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: help of the Biden administration. I need them to come
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: in and I need them to send agents right away.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: I need them to help us out. She had a big,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: forty two minute press conference, and at that press conference
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: she pleaded for help. Now here's the part that people
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: to understand. Lightfoot the same agent she's now pleading to
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: come into her country, this inter city, the same agents
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: that would have come into her city under Donald Trump pride,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: so the same job. What happened? Why were they bad
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: last year? But they're not bad this year. These are
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: the officers who are turning their backs on the may
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: because this mayor went woke, This mayor went anti police.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: This mayor support the people that chant, what do we want?
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Dead caps when we want them now? Pigs in a blanket,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: fry them, Mike Bacon f the police. She's the one
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: that backed them. Service o herself a lot of sacrifice.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Her mother said it that she loved the job. There
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: was a lot of emotion running that night. There were
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: hundreds of officers who were there and met and talked
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: to many of them, and there was a lot of
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: emotion from arrange of the spectrum from total despair to
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: That's how she responded, by the way politically, to the
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: officers turning their backs on her after the killing of
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: an officer. Ella French, there's a name you should remember.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: She said, there's a lot of emotion. I talked to
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: a bunch of them. They didn't want to talk to her.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Oh no. So she's now pleading for help from the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: federal government while she's also doing something else, talking about
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: COVID and saying that COVID is the real reason why
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: things are out of control. This is the same woman
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: who also said we don't want eighty million dollars in
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: our budget to fight crime in Chicago when she went
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: to defund the police. Now what is she saying? And
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I think this very difficult week has told us that
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: we need to do a lot more to increase the
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: resources and voted to the health and wellness of our
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: police officers. Then why did you cut eighty million dollars?
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Why did you try to defund the police? Why did
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: you go all woke? What changed? Is it only the
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: poll numbers? Because it's not about her caring about you.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: It's clearly not you caring about the people. It's about you.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: If you cared about the people, then maybe you would
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: have said something different than what you're saying right now.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Crime is out of control in this country. We have
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: demonized the people you're now begging to come in. You've
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: demonized the people that are trying that you now need
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: their help from. You've dehumanized them, You've turned them into
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: the villain. And now all of a sudden, you want
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: to change the narrative. You want to change the ball game,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: you want to flip things. I don't blame emy cop
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: that quits right now, I really don't. I don't blame
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: any police officer that says I'm out. I don't blame
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: anybody that tells their kids now, don't become a police officer.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: It's not worth it because if you have one accident,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: they will burn you at the stake because the left
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: hates you, the left despises you. This woman is now
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: begging for help the same people that she demonized when
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Trump offered help to get crime under control in Chicago.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: And there's a Chicago pastor and an activist who is
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: blasted to the Loria Lightfoot setting the records trade about
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: what this woman's really done to his city. Do you
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: see a connection between the mayor's rhetoric where she wanted
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: them to essentially take eighty million dollars out of the
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: police department budget with what we're seeing on the streets
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: of Chicago today. Yeah, Steve, I'm on the roof to
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: bring attention and awareness to violence, but also to raise
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: as much money as I can to build a community
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: center to fight the violence. And I do believe that
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: all the talk about defunding the police has added to
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: the morale. I do believe that it has impacted the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: police dramatically. If anything, we do, we don't need to
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: defund the police. We need to fund them more, especially
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: our detectives, where they're overwhelmed and overloaded with cases that
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: they're having problems solving because there's not enough of them
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: to do the work. So we definitely need to make
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: the investment in our police department. What a novel idea
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: crimes out of control and we need to invest in
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: our police departments. She wanted to take eighty million away,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: But now she says, oh, hold on, I'm not anti police.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not anti police at all. Really, you look at
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: crime all over the country right now, and you look
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: at these different mayors, and you look at the different
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: people that are in charge, and they went for an
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: entire year hardcore anti police, really not not just your
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: two years, let's just be honest. And they did it
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: for politics. They did it to get votes. They did
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: it to demonize somebody so that you would be afraid
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: of them and the people. They wanted you to be
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: afraid of the police. They wanted you to believe they're
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: all evil racist, even if it's black on black, even
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: if it's a black officer arresting a black man or woman,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: they didn't care. That's an Uncle Tom. And any white
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: person arrests anybody's black. Got to be racist. Can't be
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: an actual criminal committing a crime. Can't be that we
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: look at people just based on their actions and not
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: based on the car, the s kin. Because they needed
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: this in the election. Democrats get elected off of racism.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Democrats get it off telling you that everybody is racist
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: except for them. That's what Democrats do. And they said
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the new racists or the police, and then they decided
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to do this new insane idea. We're gonna we're gonna
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: have police reform and then we're going to dismantle police departments.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: But that's not enough. We're now going to change the
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: way that we do bail, and we're gonna have bail
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: reform so that you don't even have to post any
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: bail to get out of jail, because bail all of
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: a sudden became racist out of nowhere, because white people
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: can get out of jail easier than black people can
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: get out of jail until their trial. So that became racists,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: and then they said, we need prison reform because prison
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: reform is racist because you're really just trying to black
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: You're trying to, you know, put people in prison that
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: are only black, and you're trying to lock them up
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: because they're black, and everything's racist. And it worked. It
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: got them elected. Congratulations. Who cares if people die because
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: of their peddling this racism and demonizing the police? Who cares?
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: A police are quitting? Left and right? Who cares if
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: crime skyrockets in these liberal cities because it's not doing
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: it concerned cities right, because in conservative cities, we still
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: love and appreciate and support the police. We don't give
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: them a free pass, but we do hold them accountable
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: when they're bad cops, but we embrace the good ones
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: and we know the majority of them are good. And
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: now Democrats have this problem because there is crime out
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: of control. You don't know how bad it is in
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: liberal cities. Take a listen to California ABC seven in
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: San Francisco. This is not a Saturday night live skit
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play for you. This is a real report,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: live from an actual reporter ABC seven telling you now
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: what you have to do when you live in these
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: areas of California, just to make sure that your car
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't get broken into. Yeah, Brandy, this shows how bad
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: the problem is and how desperate some shoppers are getting.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: We're seeing this primarily up in the Bay Area. People
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: are literally leaving the trunks of their cars open, or
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the hatch on their suv open. And the idea is
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: that thieves will see there's nothing worth taking in the
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: car and they won't be smashing windows and rummaging through vehicles.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: And that made me one answer. But the downside, of course,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: is it also makes it really easy to steal somebody's car. Wow,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: we're in different times. That's that's unbelievable. I mean, we're
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: in different times. This is a former San Francisco Police
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Department Deputy Chief Garrett Tom who just said, we're in
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: different times. You think it's unbelievable that people are now
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: it's just saying, all my car windows, leave them down.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Here's the hatchback, it's open. Please don't steal anything. I
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: know you might steal my car, but at least you
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: won't break out another one of my windows. Welcome to
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: San Francisco. Where what do they do they went defund
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: the police. And if they leave their trunk open, you know,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: some car, Depending on what kind of car you have,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: you still can get inside into the interior. What do
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: you wait? Wait wait, you can still get inside into
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: the interior. Thank you, Captain Obvious for that brilliant analysis there.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Imagine living in a city where it's so dangerous you
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: leave the back of your car open just so someone
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: can get in your car, so they don't break your window,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: because the probability of having your windows smashed out right
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: now is that high. By the way, they got bell
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: reformed there, they got prison reform there, they got abolish
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: the police there, they got defund the police there. Welcome
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: to the hometown of Nancy Pelosi. That's a real local
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: report I just played for you. Here's another one, another
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: liberal city, Las Vegas. Fox five Las Vegas talks about
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: their new senseless vicious crime at a restaurant. Well, for
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: the first time, we are getting a look at the
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: man restaurant manager say shot an employee several times while
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: he was cleaning up early Monday morning. Those photo was
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: provided to Fox five from surveillance camp footage at Shanghai
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Taste in Chinatown, The restaurant is calling this a senseless,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: vicious crime, as one of their employees, Chenyon Wang, is
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: currently recovering in a valley hospital after being shot seven times.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Seven times. We got to defund the police there. Hell yeah,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: we got liberals in charge of city. Yep, sure do.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: The first thing from the police officer, the lead police
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: officer's mouth was, if this was me, I wanted to
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: survive it, and it was pretty brutal. The restaurant says
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: that the attacker entered the business through a back door
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: which may have been we may have been broken into
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: or accidentally left unlocked. They say that the man started
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: firing at weighing near the counter area of the restaurant
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: before taking off. Shanghai Taste was closed yesterday. No word
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: yet on when they plan to reopen, but when it does,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: the restaurant tells us that they plan to offer some
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: sort of financial help for that employee to help cover
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: his medical bills. Seven times. Welcome to liberal America. This
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: is what happens. Lindsey Graham, by the way, losing it
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: slamming Nancy Pelosi because she's acting like there's not a
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: crime problem in America. And I just told you what's
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: happen in San Francisco where she's supposed to live. Not
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: really sure she does, but she's supposed to live there,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: right at least that's where she gets her hair done.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I say that if you don't understand what's going on
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: in America regarding crime, you probably shouldn't be Speaker of
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: the House at the end of the day. I mean,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this out.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Recipivism rates her through the roof. In twenty twenty, we
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: declared war on the cops. The liberal left tried to
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: destroy policing as we know it. We have revolving doors.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: When it comes to bail, we're eliminating cash bill, so
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: criminals believe they're not gonna go to jail and stay
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: in jail. When they wipe out a store, come in
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: and just wipe everything out, nobody goes to jail. So
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: what's happened here is that between trying to destroy policing
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: and being soft on crime, you've lost control of crime.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: And it's time to take the car keys away from
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. There you go, that's the Democratic Party.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham right, by the way, these people are the
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: ones that did this on purpose. This carnage happened on purpose.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: You now have the San Francisco mayor calling for a
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: crackdown on crime, saying we're going to be forced to
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: be less tolerant because of what's happened, less tolerant. So
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: you guys, admit that you screwed this up. It's time
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: that the reign of criminals who are destroying our city,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: it is time for it to come to an end.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: And it comes to an end when we take the
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement, more aggressive
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: with the changes in our policies. Hold on a second.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: This is the same San Francisco mayor who has defund
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: the police, the same San Francisco mayor that attacked the
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: police for the last year, the same San Francisco mayor
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: that said we need bail reform where people could get
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: out of jail after committing crimes with zero dollars put down.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: This is the same woman that advocated for people are
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: not being charged for crimes with BLM, and now she
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: says she wants to get tough on crime with law enforcement,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: more aggressive, with the changes in our policies. You want
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: to get more aggressive, man, These people are starting to
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: sound like conservatives at this point and less tolerant of
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: all that has destroyed our city. Oh yeah, and I
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: love it. I love it when they cuss. That's my favorite.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: That's when you really know they're mad, right, yeah, when
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: you Yeah, I'm I'm the San Francisco mayor that when
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: defund the police, anti police rhetoric. I'm the one that
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: would go on TV and talk about how bad the
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: American you know, how bad things are and how bad
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: the police are. And I hear you, and I understand
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: you in Black Lives Matter and we're gonna have riots
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: and protests and we're not gonna put people in jail.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: And now you want to cuss to act like you're
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: tough on crime that has destroyed our city. Yeah, well
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: maybe when maybe maybe she figured it out. Okay, people
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: are leaving their trunks and their cars open, they're leaving
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the backs of their SUV's open, they're rolling their windows
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: down'm putting signs upset, there's nothing in here that you
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: want the cars empty. Please don't break my window. And
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: now she wants to start cussing, and she's mad. Yeah, yeah,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: she's mad. Now, Now if that's not the good enough
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: answer for you. Just know that most politicians are now
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: saying that what comes to crime, it's all based on COVID.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: They're blaming COVID for this crime is spiking in major cities.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And as it's spiking in major cities, now the same
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: people that went woke are now being carjacked at gunpoint.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm not wishing this on them. I want to
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: make that clear, Okay, I want to make I don't
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: think that crime is political when it's happening to you.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: But the fact is two Democratic lawmakers were carjacked at gunpoint,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, the left is like, well,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: there's a problem with crime. Were you not paying attention
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: crime crisis? Two Democratic and lemakers who called for police
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: reform in the past a carjacked just hours of put
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Marianne Rafferday is live as we learn more about this story.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Morning marian Good Morning, Ashley and Ben Will. Two Democrats
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: who wanted to defund police, were both carjacked at gunpoint
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: within hours of each other in two different states. Pennsylvania
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon had just left a meeting near
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: a park in Philadelphia when she was held at gunpoint
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: by two black men, according to police, who demanded her
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: keys and took off. Five people were later caught driving
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: her vehicle by state police in Delaware and arrested. Scanlon
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: releasing a statement, the congresswoman was physically unharmed. She thanks
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Police Department for their swift response and appreciates
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: the efforts of both the sergeant at arms in DC
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: and her local police department. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kinney also tweeting,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: everyone deserves to feel safe in our city and sadly
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: that hasn't always been the case this year. It's disheartening
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: and infuriating the criminals feel emboldened to commit such a
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: reckless crime in the middle of the day, and the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: stats back up the mayor's sentiment. There have been five
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: hundred forty murders so far this year. That's up thirteen
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: percent from last year, and just under four thousand shootings.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: That's a five percent increase over a year now. Despite
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: the uptick, Philadelphia leaders have denied there's a crime problem.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: There is not a big spike in crime. That is
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: not true. There is also not I love this right right,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: you got you got Larry what's his name? Larry Kastner.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: I think he's a Democrat Philadelphia Distric attorney. He's like,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: there's not a crime problem. It's one of the worst
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: years on record, if not the worst year on record,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: and you want me to and you're breaking records in
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: different categories of crime. And then you come out on
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: TV on December the six, you're like, there's not a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: problem with crime. This is how little respect they have
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: for the their constituents. Now, I will say, part of
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: this is on the left. Part of this is on
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: the voters that keep voting these morons into office. Part
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: of it is your fault. It's on you, Okay a lot,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: actually not part all of it is you guys keep
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: reelecting these people because they race bait you and they
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: sucker you in and they tell you the cops the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: bad guy, and then you go, yeah, the cops are
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: the bad guys. Cops are the bad guys. Then all
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have a problem, and what do
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: you do? You dial nine one one. Here's my thing.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: If you want to defund the police, fine, then deactivate
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: nine one one. Seriously, you hate the cops, you don't
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: trust the cops, you don't want to be a part
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: of the cops. That's fine, defund that. I'm not I'm
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: not exaggerating. I say this. You turn it off where
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: you cannot call the police. If you want to defund
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: the police, okay, if you want to get rid of
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the police, then don't call them when you need help.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm asking. Don't act, don't don't don't all
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: of a sudden call nine one, go help me. Somebody's
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: breaking into my home. That is That is what irritates me,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: is when people say stupid stuff like that, like, oh,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: I want to defund the police, I will help somebody
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: got shot calling. I'm on one can't have it both ways, Folks,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: pick either you back them and support them, or you don't.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: If you don't, then you shouldn't ever ever call them
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: and ever ask them for help. Call me old fashioned.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of these people destroying this country.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Which brings me back to my core point that I
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: was making the very beginning of this conversation. You look
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: at this conviction of Kim Potter, and you've got to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: ask yourself, why would anyone in the right mind right
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: now in America want to become a police officer. Why
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: would anyone want to sign up to protect and serve
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: knowing that these prosecutors like Ellis connected to Obama on
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: the left want to watch you burn. Think about it.
• 1:02:46
