Young men feel directionless, and one of the best answers to that problem is building something real. Start a business, learn a trade, create something new and useful. Take ownership over your own life instead of waiting around for permission from some corporation or government agency. The problem is that actually building a business is hard enough already. Then you run into the banking system. A lot of small business owners are profitable. They're growing and doing everything right. But big banks still bury them in paperwork and drag the process out for weeks or months, just to access capital they need right now.

More than 70% of small businesses need additional funding at least once a year. That's why Cardiff exists. If you want bank rates without the bank delays, go to cardiff.co slash Walsh for up to $500,000 in same-day funding. They funded more than $12 billion for businesses since 2004. The application takes less than five minutes. There's no impact on your personal credit. Businesses can get approved in minutes and funded the same day, which means instead

of wasting months fighting bureaucracy, business owners can actually focus on growing their company, hiring people, expanding operations, buying equipment and inventory. Banks try to lock out small businesses. Cardiff has the key. Big banks may not want to approve your business loan, but Cardiff does. If you've been in business for at least a year, pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 in same-day funding at cardiff.co slash Walsh. Again, that's cardiff.co.com slash Walsh, real growth, fast funding. Cardiff, borrow better. One of the most enduring misconceptions about the BLM riots of 2020, And this is a misconception that even many conservatives hold to this day is the idea that these mobs comprised mostly of black people turned to violence and mass lawlessness because they were outraged about their perceptions of police brutality. The idea is that when they set the local Wendy's on fire or murdered a security guard before looting the pawn shop on the corner, black rioters were primarily motivated by racial narratives. They've been fed by the Democrat Party, the media, the school system. And if you're on the right, you probably recognize that those

narratives are fake. If you're on the left, you think they're accurate. But no matter where you stand politically, the consensus among most Americans is that the BLM riots of 2020 were a direct response to specific events and how those events were portrayed, most notably George Floyd's overdose and the relentless racial propaganda that followed that. The problem with this explanation is that all over the United States, mobs comprised of a similar racial makeup, has spent the last several years rioting and committing acts of mass lawlessness for no discernible reason whatsoever. There's no recent BLM martyr, no misleading cell phone footage that's gone viral on social media, no fake report from a medical examiner, nothing to justify their conduct in any way.

And yet the rioting has continued. It's intensified. Over the past few months, these riots have become so commonplace and so dangerous that the media can't ignore them anymore. But instead of covering the story honestly and telling the truth about the violent dysfunction in overwhelmingly black areas, the corporate press has decided to brand these riots as teen takeovers. Yes, teen takeovers. Now, without any context, it doesn't sound that bad. Certainly not any kind of event where I'd want to be personally, but teen takeover sounds like, you know, it's a bunch of young people getting together to have fun. And most importantly, whatever it is, it sounds like something that involves teens generally, not any specific kind of teen, not any particular race. Not any particular race.

or demographic, just teens. The point is to be generic and therefore, of course, misleading. It's like blaming 9-11 on airline passengers. But that's what they're going with. Watch. Tonight, dramatic new video of Chicago police pinning people down

and struggling to quell massive Memorial Day crowds. Police say 53 people were arrested and nearby three teens were shot. This 24 hours after investigators say an 18-year-old plowed his car into a crowd of five officers, all now in fair condition. The teen charged with attempted murder. Two so-called teen takeovers in 24 hours. A viral trend sweeping the nation with massive gatherings organized online and unleashed on unsuspecting

communities coast to coast, often turning chaotic or violent. In Tampa, police body camera video shows massive fights amid a teen takeover earlier this month. Here, you see the mayhem from above. Authorities say 22 people were arrested as young as 12. Another brawl breaking out at this Chipotle in Washington, D.C. And outside Milwaukee, cars spinning out in this intersection. So as you can see, these are not teen takeovers. These are, to be specific, black riots.

Everyone depicted in the videos of these teen takeovers is black. Every single one of them is committing a crime. They're engaging in a public and violent. disturbance. White people are not involved in this. And therefore, teen takeover is a deliberately misleading term, which is designed to confuse people about what is actually happening. But the deception doesn't stop there. You're also led to believe in many of these news reports that this phenomenon is new. In reality, nothing about these black riots is actually new, not even close. Here's an interesting bit of trivia that you may not be aware of. Why do you think we have

SWAT teams today? Why do you think we have heavily armed, highly trained paramilitary police units in every major city equipped with barricats, bomb-carrying robots, ballistic shields, flash bangs, and tear gas? Now, if you're like most Americans, you have no idea. You probably just assume that, well, we've always had SWAT teams. The truth is that SWAT teams formed in Philadelphia and Los Angeles in the mid to late 1960s as a direct result and consequence of the civil rights movement. race riots in which black rioters regularly cause millions of dollars in damage and thousands of injuries and dozens of fatalities prompted police departments to establish paramilitary SWAT units staffed with the most capable officers, including many veterans of the Vietnam War. Prior to the 1960s, police departments didn't have tanks because they didn't need tanks to do their jobs. Now they do. From the moment the demographics of cities began to,

to change as a result of the civil rights era, the cities became war zones, people who weren't able to flee the cities, people who could not engage in, quote-unquote, white flight, as the media calls it, were tormented. Many of them were tortured, beaten, and killed. And we'll go into great detail in this point in part two of our civil rights documentary, which is coming out very soon. But you could read the book Left Behind in Rosadale for an idea of what happened in the Dallas-Fort Worth area once the demographics changed. White people were beaten, sexually assaulted, murdered for no reason other than their skin color. Or if you can get a copy, read Race War in High School, the 10-year destruction of Franklin K. Lane High School in Brooklyn. And you'll get a sense of what the civil rights movement did to urban schools. The violence, including arson attacks in the classroom, is hard to wrap your head around, hard to comprehend, but it's real. Today, police departments pretend to be ignorant of this entire history. So here's a recent clip from a sheriff. in Orlando, Florida, where these so-called teen takeovers are terrorizing residents. And listen to this.

First at 5 o'clock chaos in the heart of the tourist district. The Orange County Sheriff's Office says hundreds of teens, as you see, swarmed the area, throwing punches and getting arrested. Good evening. I'm Lindsay Sibland. I'm Jesse Pagot. Two deputies were also hurt in all of this. West shoe, Spencer Tracy, live outside Icon Park.

And Spencer, you talked with someone who saw it all happen. Yeah, Virgil Goodson was just. having dinner on a regular night and that's when he saw teens running in sirens everywhere. He said he didn't know what was going on and started people with young families or with young kids starting to take cover. This was Icon Park Saturday night. The Orange County Sheriff's Office says by 7.30 p.m. around a thousand teens had filled into the heart of the tourist district. And that's when multiple flights started breaking out. There was a large police presence.

Sheriff John Mina says they found out about this gathering from social media. but they did not expect the level of chaos that followed. Hopefully it's just a trend that will end at some point because, I mean, literally, where did they get out of it? Well, hopefully it's just a trend, the sheriff says. You know, it's just one of those trends that persists for decades, sometimes with a justification, a pretense, sometimes without any pretense at all. And then the sheriff acts perplexed about the fact that these criminals are committing crimes without any apparent reason. This too is nothing new. And left behind in Rosdale, you learn all about the wilding, as it was called,

which is a term that black teenagers used to describe their campaigns of racial terror. They would act like animals on purpose, and they were proud of it. That's as I call it, wilding. They openly bragged to detectives about what they were doing. And here we are many decades later, nothing has changed. All the affirmative action and equity in DEI and Martin Luther King Jr. speech, is all of it has brought us here. And we're supposed to just shrug our shoulders and pretend that it's a new trend. What's funny about this is that the teens participating in these takeovers

understand how weak and pathetic our leaders have become. They know they won't suffer any consequences whatsoever. In fact, they understand that if they play their cards right, they can make the police officers suffer consequences for attempting to enforce the law, God forbid. That's why some of the teen takeover participants are claiming that the police engaged in excessive force in Orlando when they tried to suppress the riot. Watch this clip carefully. Only on Westchew tonight, we are talking with the family of one of the teens arrested at Icon Park Saturday night. I'm Jesse Pagan. And I'm Lindsay Siplon.

They say the deputy who arrested that young boy used excessive force by slamming him to the ground. And the boy and his family spoke exclusively with West Choo's Patrick Perez, who is. live near Icon Park with the details. Patrick. Yeah, video of that takedown was caught on multiple cell phone cameras. It is spreading online right now. The family says what happened was heartbreaking and embarrassing and they hope to get some accountability. Exclusive new video shared with West 2 News shows the moments. An Orange County Sheriff's deputy took down a teen during a so-called takeover of Icon Park Saturday night. I'm doing, I'm doing it look good. Yeah, but my back on a hurt in my leg still hurting but that's up 14-year-old Tivori and day says just moments before he was

defending himself from a teen who had picked the fight with him he thought the deputy was just another teen also trying to throw in some punches and he didn't say his name so he i thought was getting jump but i wasn't i look when he was a caught then i tried to stop then he just he just caught me so after that i got back up and he was just right then and near still his family says he was charged with resisting arrest without violence and they alleged the deputy used excessive force I believe once he got him on the ground, once he tackled him, and I feel like he could have just cuffed him from there. He picked him up and he slammed him. Now the first thing you should notice, and I'm sure he did notice, is that the teen takeover suspect can't even speak English.

He does not have the capacity to use language to communicate ideas. And this is not just a matter of a kid using slang. Slang has existed forever. This is a kid who can barely communicate. in any language at all. I mean, you've heard of people who speak one language and people who are bilingual or even trilingual. This kid is no-lingual, and he's not alone.

One of the reasons that toddlers have temper tantrums is that their language skills are not advanced enough to convey their emotions any other way. They can't tell you what they're feeling or what they want, and so they just freak out, you know, partly out of frustration at their own inability to communicate. And I think part of what's happening now is we have teenagers and adults with a similar problem, which is not to excuse it at all.

But when it comes to excuses, you know, notice what the excuse is that we're hearing. They don't even deny that he resisted arrest. They're just saying that, well, the officer should have been more gentle in dealing with it. And this is what we so often hear from the parents, or in this case the grandparent, who knows where the parents are. of black criminals. The argument is so often, well, yes, our poor child was committing violent crimes and resisting arrest and acting like a hooligan terrorist for no reason, but the police should have been nicer about it. And somehow we're supposed to take that logic seriously.

When like if you're a good and present parent, you know that it's, you, this is, it's the exact opposite. If your kid comes home from school and says, oh, the teacher was mean to me. If you're a good parent and a sane and rational person. The first thing you're asking your kid is, what did you do? What did you do? What did you do wrong that made the teacher mean? I mean, it's possible once you get down to the bottom of it. I mean, there can be times when the teacher was being was off base.

But that should not be your immediate assumption, especially if you know that your kid is a delinquent. Now, when the sheriff of Orlando asks a room full of reporters, gee, why are people committing crimes when it doesn't benefit them? This is the answer. irrational people will do irrational things people who are not raised right people who are when there are no consequences for what they do

they're just looking to entertain themselves this is how they act you can't reason with someone who is not acting according to reason in the first place you know if the police department solution is just to wait it out on the theory that this is just a trend that will pass because it's irrational

Well, then I guess we're going to have to endure another 60 years of this. Oh, my God. Oh, don't call 911. That was from a riot about a month ago in Charlotte. They took over the highway for street racing. And just for good measure, they started a fire. They detonated fireworks on the road. And as of right now, no one's been arrested for participating in this particular riot.

Not that we should be surprised by that. Very few arrests have been made in any of these takeovers from New Jersey to Chicago. and everywhere in between. Watch. So you really got to squint to notice a pattern here, but indeed, the pattern exists. In every single case, you have mobs of mostly young black men

who are terrorizing entire neighborhoods. What could possibly explain what's going on? Let's take a look at the newspaper of record, the New York Times, for their insight. Maybe they could clear it up. This is from their recent article on quote-unquote teen takeovers. Quote, in Detroit, Chicago,

Atlanta, the nation's capital, and elsewhere, large, quickly organized gatherings of youths have popped up in downtown parks and leafy neighborhoods. They can be noisy, boisterous, and at times of violent. The pandemic exacerbated, a decline in the amount of time the teenagers spend going out and socializing, and socializing is a natural impulse, said Lawrence Steinberg, a psychology professor who studies adolescent development. It is bound to burst. Well, that clears things up. Youths are engaged in boisterous and violent gatherings. because of the pandemic. Now, in a way, this is a clever excuse because everyone now recognizes that the COVID lockdowns were the single most disastrous domestic policy decision in the past century, bar none. So it's easy to get people to blame everything on the COVID lockdowns. And you can understand why.

But the reasoning falls apart when you realize, again, that white youths are not engaging. in these, quote-unquote, boisterous gatherings for the most part. And that defeats the entire argument because last time I checked, white youths were also forced to participate in the COVID lockdown as well. And there's no reason why the lockdowns would cause black youths, and only them, to systematically engage in dysfunctional, violent, antisocial behavior in public. So what's the real explanation?

Now, if you read through this entire New York Times article, you won't find an answer. In fact, race is not even mentioned until about 20 paragraphs in. And here's what the article eventually says about that. Quote, some of the panic over teen takeover says echoes and worries over wilding in the late 1980s and super predators in the 1990s. There's a lot of dog whistling there about the fact that these are black kids who are gathering together in these large groups, and we should be afraid of them, Mr. Steinberg said. Black and Latino youth gatherings are more likely to be assumed as criminal, said Kristen Henning,

a Georgetown University law professor who specializes in juvenile violence, white children in skate parks in the 1980s and 1990s, did not generate nearly the same level of surveillance and arrests as black gathering, she said. The case you're interested, here's what the Georgetown law professor Kristen Henning looks like. And as best I can tell, her entire career is devoted to the idea that, quote, normal behaviors of black adolescents and teenagers have been criminalized across the country. And to that end, she claims that there's no difference between black riots and white children in skate parks in the 1980s and 1990s.

But here's the thing about white children in skate parks in the 1980s. They were not doing any of the things we just saw that. They weren't attacking people. They weren't shooting. They didn't storm into restaurants and beat each other with chairs. They didn't rampage through the streets. They didn't shut down entire city blocks. they didn't make life miserable for everyone or anyone in the neighborhood.

To the extent that anybody was upset with skateboarding children, the concern was that they were scraping the sidewalks and maybe running into people every now and then. And that's why they didn't generate the same level of surveillance and arrests as these black teenagers. They weren't committing crimes. It's kind of a big distinction, the thing a Georgetown law professor is supposed to notice.

But every time these law professors tell us, well, Why is it that black youths are arrested for crimes more than other demographics? Well, it's because they're committing crimes more than other demographics. That's why, Professor. Funny how that works. If a certain group commits more crimes, they get arrested more often. Wow. That's shocking.

Also, the white skateboarders weren't committing crimes all over the entire country, everywhere you look. You know, this was not a widespread. You didn't have to worry about a youth skate park just like randomly taking over your whole neighborhood. But these teen takeovers are happening everywhere. Even the beaches of Rhode Island. Watch.

Aonic Day at two Rhode Island beaches yesterday, large crowds gathering multiple disturbances leading to arrests in both Narragansett and Middletown. Police say officers responded to fights, disorderly crowds and a stabbing as thousands packed the beach. is. Kristen Brunel joins us live in Arrogansett with more. Kristen. Good morning, Kate and Patrick. Police symbols in Arragansett and Middletown say that large groups of teenagers gathering on the beach yesterday led to some pretty chaotic scenes and multiple

disturbances happening throughout the day. In Middletown, police say more than a thousand high school students were at second beach for senior skip day. Nine teenagers were arrested after police say several disturbances broke out in the crowd. Officers were already at the beach monitoring the crowds when they say one young man was acting disorderly towards others. Police say the crowd quickly turned aggressive with one teen accused of assaulting officers and police used pepper spray to restore control. In a separate incident, investigators say a man had a Newport police officer with his car while leaving the parking lot. He's now facing felony assault and DUI charges. Several others were also taken into custody facing charges ranging from simple assault to obstructing police.

Meanwhile in Narragansit, three people were stabbed during a large fight at the tap. beach. Two adults were arrested on charges, including simple assault. Beachgoers say they were shocked by the violence, especially on one of the first hot beach days of the season. Now, strangely enough, that local news report never shows you a photograph of any of these suspects. You'd think that this would be a top priority when you're talking about a violent criminal act that's terrorizing the community, including in particular young people. But somehow they weren't able to come up with any information at all. So we turned to the New York Post, which obtained this image of one of the stabbing suspects. And here he is. This is 18-year-old Willie Medina. He was out on bail for a gun

charge when he allegedly stabbed three people on the beach where hundreds of other teens were skipping school. The post reports that Medina is accused of slashing three beachgoers as the rowdy crowd went into a frenzy. Police alleged Medina and another 18-year-old were part of a larger crowd when a disturbance broke out and a gunshot was fired off striking a parked car. Medina was charged with carrying a pistol without a license firing in competition. area, vandalism, and disorderly conduct. In the aftermath of Tuesday's stabbings, Naraganset police arrested two men in the police beach's parking lot on charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstruction of justice. Now, the reason local media is hiding the

photograph of the suspect is precisely the same reason they're referring to these riots as teen takeovers. You're not allowed to challenge any of the left sacred mythologies, and the civil rights movement is definitely one of those mythologies. Any fact that calls into question the wisdom of that era or the idea that all racial disparities are automatically the result of systemic prejudice by white people has to be squashed. So you're not allowed to hear about wilding or super predators or black riots. Instead, you're told about teen takeovers, as if hordes of white people are going around shooting up your neighborhood.

There's another reason that they're lying about these riots as well. As always, Democrats see an opportunity to use violence to further their political objectives and expand their power. And in this case, instead of blaming black people, and in particular, black fathers, Democrats are claiming that social media companies are responsible for these teen takeover. and therefore in the eyes of the leaders of the Democrat Party, these riots are merely another justification for online censorship. So here's the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, on that point. Listen. We prevent the vast majority of these from ever taking place. You know, there is an effort in city council to hold the social media apparatus as accountable. I believe that we should

continue to explore that. And I'm going to continue to work with Alderman Hall around that. It's why we're actually taxing these big tech companies for the role that they have played in harming the mental health and well-being of our young people. This is an obvious attack on your civil liberties, framed as an attack on big tech. Online censorship has rolled back significantly over the past few years, thanks to the election of Donald Trump and Elon Musk's purchase of X. But Democrats, they want to bring it back and they plan to if they ever hold power again. And they're going to use mobs of violent thugs to do it.

They're banking on the idea that people will be too afraid of being called racist to identify the actual problem here. So instead, we're all expected to remain silent while they, you know, crack down and ban us on social media. The lack of shame from Brandon Johnson here is actually pretty impressive. Just a couple of years ago, he sued Kia and Hyundai for supposedly making their cars too easy to steal. So once again, he concluded that, you know, when black people commit crimes, they aren't responsible for their own actions. Instead, someone else is responsible for enabling them to commit crimes. Watch. Developments in the Kia Hyundai thefts. The city of Chicago is now suing the automakers,

saying a defect in their vehicles has led to theft crisis in the city. This is a story that we've been following closely for a couple of years now. A security flaw shared on social media made the car an easy target for thieves. The mayor's office says since the videos started spreading on social media, thefts of Kia and Hyundai vehicles in Chicago surged from about 500 in the first half of 2022 to more than 8,000 during the second half of the year. The complaint filed in Cook County Circuit Court says the flaw has led to an increase in violence because thieves use those stolen hundas and kias to commit other crimes. The city says it wants restitution for victims and to reclaim the cost of responding to those thefts. Well, the car manufacturers were not violating

any law, obviously. There was no requirement that they designed their vehicles to include systems to prevent auto theft. They were trying to cut costs and offer a cheaper product, which makes sense. And in a high trust society where laws are enforced, there would be no issue at all. I mean, in a functioning society, you shouldn't, not only should you not need anti-theft on your car, you shouldn't even need to lock your car. If you live in a functioning society, if you live in a, in a, you know, a community, a functioning community, you don't even need to lock the car at all. If you need to lock it to begin with,

that's already a sign that we've got major problems here that anti-theft stuff on the car won't fix. But the city of Chicago sued anyway on behalf of criminals who can commit carjackings without suffering any consequences whatsoever. And eventually Chicago won. And the manufacturer settled. But of course, Chicago didn't stop there

in the war to blame literally everyone else for crimes committed predominantly by black people. A couple of years ago, Chicago also sued Glock. And what was the claim there? Well, Glock made firearms that black suspects were using to commit crimes. That was the problem. This is from Reuters. Glock must face a lawsuit filed by the city of Chicago over claims that it knowingly sells pistols that can be easily converted into illegal machine guns, often used in criminal activity,

in Illinois state court judge said. The city alleged that Glock has long known adding an inexpensive accessory to one of its popular pistols enable shooters to switch the gun between semi-automatic and fully automatic firing. Walker said the city's allegation fits within an exception

to the protection of lawful commerce and arms act. Representatives for Glock and gun retailers Midwest sporting goods and Eagle Sports Range were named in the lawsuit, did not immediately respond to request for comment. In a statement, Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson called the ruling a major step towards holding Glock accountable for endangering the residents of our city.

So to recap, when black people commit crimes in Chicago, it's the fault of the social media companies and the automobile manufacturers and the firearm manufacturers and, you know, white people and systemic racism and El Nino and Donald Trump at the Supreme Court and, I don't know, bedbugs, everything and everyone is to blame except the people themselves who are doing the crimes. Meanwhile, if you talk to sane, well-adjusted black people in these communities, they'll immediately tell you what the problem is. Watch. Addreson Park on Detroit's West Side on Memorial Day for another so-called teen takeover. Oh my God.

This is horrible. Neighbors tell me it started out peaceful, but things took a turn as fights broke out and police moved in to disperse the crowds. All of it leaving neighbors like this man who did not want to be identified on. Me and the neighbors, we talked about it today. And it was just like, I don't know. I don't know, you know, what's causing this. And this is spreading, how serious is going to get. Yeah.

And the summer just began. Where's the next one we want to be? Because I feared, so I think about my property. They need to be able to do, like, have fun and, like, you know, do what they want to do, but at the same time is getting too dangerous. Parents need to get a handle with their kids. It's embarrassing to the community. Parents need to get a handle on their kids, she says.

on their kids, she says. And, you know, yeah, well, that's a novel concept. Why isn't that happening in black communities? Why aren't, why aren't poor white fathers having the exact same problem convincing their children not to cause mayhem in every major city? Why are black fathers failing to prevent these teen takeovers, which are really black riots? Now, scholars can debate that question until the end of time. I mean, the obvious answer is that black fathers effectively don't exist. I mean, that's what's going on here. That's a big part of it. which is one of the reasons why the racial component has to be talked about. Number one, because it's just true, and we should acknowledge what's true.

And number two, because 80% of these kids, of these black kids and cities, grow up in homes without fathers. I mean, fatherlessness in the black community, you hear about it, but it's like it's, it is an apocalyptic. It's reached apocalyptic proportions. But that's also academic for now, you know, because. as a matter of basic civil liberties, we have a right to live in a country without the constant threat of violence and intimidation, whatever the reasons are for it. Rampant violence by black teenagers or by anyone else is a direct infringement on the civil liberties of millions of Americans. And therefore, the government must punish the parents who are allowing their

children to engage in these crimes. We've seen white parents, as we talked about before, getting charged with felonies when their children commit school shootings. That's happened several times. Well, there's no reason why the parent of every teenager, teenager, teenager in these videos, shouldn't be hauled to federal prison. And indeed, at long last, that appears to be the plan. This is from the local ABC affiliate in D.C., quote, federal prosecutors in Washington say that they will begin charging parents whose children are involved in so-called teen takeovers. United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, Janine Piro, announced Friday that our office will step in and prosecute parents, marking what she said would be the

the first weekend, the policy is put into action. Puro said parents could spend up to six months in jail and that the charge would be contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She said the effort is aimed at stepping in where parents would not. Well, this is a start, but we need to go much further than charging these parents with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. We all know that no parent, under any circumstance, is going to spend six months in jail for allowing their child to participate in one of these riots.

I mean, in D.C., carjackers and attempted murderers get out of jail within 24 hours of their arrest. There's simply no chance that a judge in D.C. is going to throw the book at a parent for what is for them a nonviolent crime. And meanwhile, this is how white parents are being handled by the legal system when they fail to prevent violence from their own children. Watch. It is a first in our American legal system. A judge has sentenced the parents of a Michigan school shooter to a to 15 years in prison for their role in the 2021 killing of four students. Now, the jury found that Jennifer and James Crumley failed to take steps to prevent the mass shooting that was carried out by their son.

KTLA's Lauren Lister has more on this historic case. Your Honor, I requested the maximum sentence being forced, as it will never come close to the life sentence I was given. An emotional statement made in court by a mother of one of the young victims, as both Jennifer and James Crumbly, parents of a Michigan school shooter, were sentenced to prison for their roles. It is the sense of his court, Ms. Crumley, that you serve 10 to 15 years. Both of his parents found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after prosecutors presented evidence of an unsecured gun at home, an indifference towards their son's mental health. Parents are not expected to be

psychic, but these convictions are not about poor parenting. These convictions, confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train. So they didn't pull the trigger or even encourage their son to pull the trigger, but they're going to go to prison for at least 10 years anyway, which is a higher sentence than some actual murderers receive in this country. Ronald Exanthus, who we talked about,

is a black man stabbed a six-year-old white boy to death in his bed during a home invasion, and he served less than 10 years in prison. The state released him early after nine years, saying he supposedly had some psychological problems. But they're all better now, so he's allowed to be back on the street. Meanwhile, the white parents will have to serve a longer sentence, even though they did not directly harm anyone. So nothing like this has ever happened to the parents of one of these black rioters. every weekend dozens of people are shot in Chicago alone by young black shooters. But the parents are never even questioned, much less sentenced to 10 years in prison.

And certainly nothing ever happens to the parents of black rioters or arsonists or stabbing suspects or anyone else. So if we're going to charge white parents for crimes they didn't even commit, then we need to start doing the same to black parents who are responsible for a lot more violence in bloodshed on a per capita basis. This is a basic function of the government under our Constitution. Their responsibility is to maintain order and administer equal justice, and right now, they're not doing either. I mean, why do we pay taxes if the government is not going to uphold its end of the bargain and even the most basic ways?

If we simply locked up all these lawless criminals along with their parents, which we could do, we'd solve a lot of problems at once. I mean, we wouldn't just fix the crime rate, which would happen very quickly, by the way, as the vast majority of crimes are committed by repeat offenders who never spend any time in jail. We'd also fix the housing problem, or at least we'd take a major step towards fixing it. At the moment, some of the most valuable properties in the country, which are often within walking distance of urban downtowns, are currently unlivable because of poor schools and the constant criminal activity by young black men. if we succeed in making cities safe again, we free up more urban housing.

Wealthy residents might even leave the suburbs for the first time since the civil rights era, which of course would make the suburbs more affordable for everybody else. Now, we're conditioned to believe that the cities are a lost cause, but that's just not the case. I mean, the classic example is Rudy Giuliani's administration in New York. He reduced crime by between 60 and 70 percent, and he did it by, if you can imagine it, just enforcing laws, all of them. So if you jumped a subway turnstile, you were arrested. If you sprayed graffiti on a wall, you went to jail. If you looked remotely suspicious, you'd be stopped and frisked. And if you were carrying an illegal gun, you go to jail. Now, it's true that the

Civil Liberties groups managed to roll back many of Giuliani's achievements. And now, of course, the city is once again assessable. But there's a federal solution here. And it's a solution that can work outside of D.C. You know, we have something called the Anti-Riot Act on the books, and as the name implies, it's a federal law against rioting, specifically against inciting, organizing, promoting, or participating in a riot. If somebody uses social media or the internet to plan or encourage a riot,

the feds can file charges in terms of imprisonment range from one year to 10, depending on whether anyone's injured or killed in the riot. These are the types of sentences we need to start seeing if we want the riots to stop. And very quickly, the benefits for the entire country would become apparent. Right now, there are people paying $90 a month for cell phone service because they signed up in 2012 and just gave up afterwards. Their wireless company raises the bill every few months. Nobody knows why. Nobody calls to ask.

And historically, this is when Democrats activate their foot soldiers and instruct them to terrorize cities all over the country. It was highly effective with George Floyd. And they're obviously going to try to do it again. They may come up with a pretext or they might simply encourage these teen takeovers by making excuses for them. Whatever the case, the Trump administration doesn't have to allow it. You know, we don't need to see a repeat of 2020. Democrats themselves have given us the precedent we need by prosecuting white parents for school shootings that they don't they didn't even commit. If we want our cities to be inhabitable again, then we need to apply

the same standard to every black family that's involved in these riots from the young black men who are stabbing each other to the parents who enable them. You know, they hide behind euphemisms like Teen Takeover because they understand how many tools we have at our disposal to crush riots and anyone who supports them. Before we all endure another summer of love as part of the Democrats' midterm strategy, we have no choice but to use those tools. And that means throwing a lot of people,

including the parents of many black teenagers, in federal prison where they belong. That will do it for the show today. And this week, talk to you on Monday. Have a great weekend. Godspeed. Martin Luther King Jr. is an American icon. widely considered one of the greatest Americans who ever lived.

A man who had a vision for a colorblind society, a post-racial America. He had a dream. It's just not the dream you thought it was. Or his true aims, a colorblind society, or something far more radical? Who bankrolled him? What unfolded behind the scenes in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963? Was civil disobedience actually peaceful? We wanted to show you a clip of the I Have a...

dreams, but according to our lawyers, we can't. In fact, King's family has made a lot of money suing media outlets. They want to silence critics like us. What they're doing makes it very difficult to judge Martin Luther King Jr., not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. Is America today stronger, more unified, and racially equal than before King's rise? These questions demand answers, and as Americans, we are entitled to a full accounting of the Civil Rights Movement and its consequences. King's Movement fundamentally transformed our country and our system of government. I speak as a citizen of the world.

Each day the war goes on, the hatred increases, though the cause of evil prospered. First part of our two-part special on the Civil Rights Movement, a new Constitution, available now on Daily Wire Plus.
