You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. All right, well, the young Turks, Jake Ugar and Akisperian with you guys. We've both decided off here that we were very good. So now, of course, it'll fall apart. As soon as we start the news, we're going to have a mass shooting in the beginning, and then it's America.

Yeah, of course. Giving you a little taste of America. Yeah, followed up immediately thereafter by Democratic incompetence. So, you know, welcome to America. As my mom says, when I call her, same old, same old. And as your dad says, what's the hell? What's the hell? Yeah.

Well, we'll tell you what's the hell. So here we go, speaking of which, maybe we should rename the show, what's the hell? Anyway, by the way, a little bit of a side note. I'm feeling real cute today. Okay, all right, okay. Well, you know what, I can match that too? Why come to me? Don't do it.

Don't do it. All right, all right. All right. Now, bad news. Yes, okay, let's get serious because this is devastating, but this is just one of the most common stories in America. Let's do it. Police say the gunmen took a sniper-like position, firing onto the parade from a roof using a high-powered rifle. And then you heard people screaming bodies down, you know, run for your life. That's what I heard.

Dr. David Baum, along with Dr. Lawrence Schechter, were at the parade with their families, initially running for safety, then turning back around and treating the wounded. All of a sudden there was a stampede of people coming and then I realized it was gunshots and I literally just thought to myself, this is how it's going to end. A story that's all too common here in the United States where mass shootings happen literally every day and the holiday weekend was no exception. A 22 year old gunman opened fire from a rooftop during a 4th of July celebration in Highland Park, Illinois, killing six, I'm sorry, killing seven. The death toll has actually increased to seven and injuring 38 and the wounded ranged in ages from 8 to 85.

Now, the suspect has been identified and after a manhunt was arrested, his name is Robert Krimo III. He also, again, climbed to the roof of a business using a ladder in the alley. He fired more than 70 bullets and as of now, we don't know what the exact motive is, although the authorities have ruled out a possible terrorist attack, they're trying to figure out what motivated him. And apparently he is cooperating with the authorities. He also posted all sorts of violent fantasies online and had been visited by the authorities two times in recent years. He had also legally purchased the rifle that was used in the attack in the Chicago area. He had another rifle apparently also bought legally in the car with him as he was taken into custody on Monday

evening about 10 miles away from the scene of attack. We have a few more details in the next video. Let's take a quick look at that. Authorities launched a countywide dragnet looking for the shooter. More than eight hours later, a North Chicago police officer spotted the person they were looking for, attempted a traffic stop before the man led police on a short pursuit. This video appears to show the man whom police say can be considered a suspect on the ground taking him into custody. Police identified the alleged shooter as 22-year-old Robert E. Creamo III. He grew up in the same Chicago suburb he targeted. A number of social media posts from the suspect have been uncovered, including disturbing music videos.

So I want to just briefly talk about the social media posts. They might give some insight to what his possible motives were. And again, it's still under investigation. Cremo's most recent video posted to YouTube showed him in the aftermath of a school shooting. It ends with him draping himself in an American flag. Another music video, he's a wannabe rapper, showed a cartoon depiction of a man wearing a shirt with his YouTube channel's logo on it, holding a long gun and being shot by police. Cremo had his own Discord server also that featured a politics board filled with nihilistic political memes.

The most recent post before the shooting, which was posted in March, was a picture of Bud Dwyer, the Pennsylvania State Treasurer who shot and killed himself on live television in the late 1980s, along with the caption, I wish politicians still gave speeches like this. And as I mentioned earlier, he had been investigated, well, his own family members had asked the police to show up to their home because he threatened to kill everyone in that home. And they also notified the cops about the fact that he had a giant inventory of weapons, including knives, a sword. All of that was confiscated as the cops visited his home back in 2019. The cops also visited him yet again in 2020, I believe it was, because of similar complaints

about his behavior. In fact, the school had mentioned that he was showing some. concerning signs. He had emotional issues dating back to when he was in middle school. And the family was offered resources as a result of that, but they declined to use them. His parents opted to homeschool him instead. And as I mentioned, cops visited him in 2019. They also took a dagger and a sword from his possession. And even though Illinois has a red flag law, It's only two years old. So it's unclear whether or not that law would have been in effect at the time when the cops had visited his home, you know, a few years ago, Jake.

Yeah, okay, so a number of things here. First of all, is he a Trump fan? Well, he's got a couple of pictures with the Trump flag, one of which you saw in that video, draped on his back and appears to be right wing. the police have declared it to be not terrorism. Why? Because he's white. Let's be honest, okay. So how would they know if this radical murdering right winger is not a terrorist? They haven't even talked to him yet. I think that they just mean, oh, we found out he's not Muslim. I got news for you. The FBI says the number one source of domestic terrorism is white supremacist. right wingers, extreme right wingers.

So no, the authorities are not correct at all. We have no idea why he did it. And terrorism is definitely a possibility. Can I just jump in on that? Because look, I think it's wrong to say this was definitely a terrorism or terrorist attack. We just don't know. But it is interesting that on one hand, the authorities say we're still investigating this. We don't know what the motive was.

On the other hand, they've already ruled out that this is a terrorist attack, which I think is fascinating because it's like, how do you say that if you don't know what the motive is yet? Yeah, they do it. It's super obvious. Everyone who isn't dishonest knows. They do it based on skin color and based on his religion. If he was Muslim, everyone knows they would think that terrorism was the number one reason. Again, without even talking to him, they don't know. They say they don't know why. But if he was Muslim, they would have called a potential terrorism. He's a white right-wing. And they say it's definitely not terrorism. No, the bias is massive, okay? So now, other issues. So red flag laws that, and I mentioned there, where, what? They're not going to do any red flag laws. Everything they passed was junk, okay?

They did a junk, junk, useless bill that was a Republican C-Y-A operation. Cover your ass as if they're doing something. You're talking about the congressional. Right, so what I was referring to in terms of red flag laws is in, Illinois specifically, they passed a state red flag law. Yeah, okay, God bless their hearts. But the Illinois case proves why the federal one is going to be totally useless. Because the minute you go and say, hey, someone's a psycho and threatening to kill people,

we're gonna take their guns away. The right wing goes nuts. They go epiplectic. They're like, how dare you take beloved guns away from beloved right wingers who threaten to murder, people, freaks meage? And you all know, what are you pretending that's not the case? Right wingers, you're really going to be okay. with somebody saying, hey, the authority should take away guns from someone who says they're

going to kill people because they're mad about politics. No, they're not okay with it, which is why we don't have red flag laws in many of the red states. And that is particularly the reason why we don't have a strong red flag provision in the legislation that was signed by Biden. That was the congressional legislation. It included funding for states that have red flag laws, but it did not implement a federal red flag law. I mean, it was the most useless piece of trash legislation you could ever imagine. So, of course, nothing happened. Now I'm going to go to our members because they make two excellent points, and I love doing the show with you guys. Opinionated, wrote in what? No 60

Bullets to stop him? Of course, he's white. That gets those story we're going to do about Jalen Walker a little bit later in today's show. He was an African-American guy. They shot him well over. They fired at least 90 rounds and hit him 60 times, including when he was dead on the ground for seconds at a time. And they handcuffed him after the fact. And afterwards they handcuffed him. In this case, guy murders seven people, wounds 36 taking in no problem, not a shot fired. I don't know if they took him to Burger King afterwards or Red Lobster or wherever they took him, but somehow the white right wingers are always captured without a single shot being fired. It's a black guy who, by the way, turned out to be unarmed. He's got 60

bullet holes in him. 60, okay? The correct answer is not to put 60 bullet holes in white people either. They correct answers for the cops do their jobs and not go around shooting black people for no reason. Okay, and then Durge Rodin, wait, the shooter used the ladder. Quick, call Ted Cruz and tell him that he has a better scapegoat than doors, ladders, burn all the ladders. Now, I mean, it's such a, it's funny, but it's true. Is it the ladders? Is it the doors? Is it the windows? No, you morons, it's the guns. Everyone knows it's the guns, except for the goddamn liars that we humor for no reason.

So a few other things I want to mention, including what he did to essentially blend in with the crowd or disguise himself. So right wingers have seized on this as a talking point, but I want to make sure that we get out ahead of it and give you the information necessary. So in order to disguise himself, he decided to dress in women's clothing. And so the right wing is trying to make a point about how dangerous transgender people are, of course, which is just a distraction, a way to sow more hatred and fear toward a powerless group of people in this country that are already being victimized and persecuted by these political leaders. But the fact of the matter is he is not transgender and he wore women's clothing to blend in with the crowd and disguise himself.

And the authorities believe that he was planning this shooting for weeks. And the reason why I brought up all of his social media postings and his history with mental health issues, his history with emotional issues, dating back to middle school, is that despite all of these signs, nothing was done to really ensure that he wasn't a threat to himself and a threat to others, right? So it's just incredible because I can't help but think about all of those stories that we covered years ago involving random high school students who would literally post rap lyrics from rap songs on social media and then they would get a visit from the authorities. Some of whom, by the way, got arrested as a result of their posts on social media. It just blows my mind that we see this happen more and more often where they post insanely disturbing things on. social media, on Discord, on 4chan, on whatever forums they have, is no one monitoring these forums? Of course not.

Because then right wingers would howl, howl my freedom of speech and talk about murdering you. No, but the point that they make is, I mean, look, this is a mental health issue and there were warning signs. Why didn't everyone double check and see what was going on here? That is anything, any scapegoat, any excuse to avoid. having to talk about gun legislation. Look, can we keep it real? If we're talking about mental health issues and people threatening to use their weapons

and acting in ways that lead you to believe they might be mentally ill, you would have to really take away the guns of about 25% of Republicans. They're online, nonstop, going, I got Second Amendment rights. I'm going to put a bullet in you, try to take my gun away from me. Try to take it. Government, cops, military, I don't care. Come and try to take it. I'll bury you.

I'll kill you if you try to take away my guns. Super pro-life of them, by the way. Okay, all right. Well, I mean, red flag laws, you're threatening to murder cops. Nope, nope, nope, no, second amendment, First Amendment, Second Amendment, Second Amendment, First Amendment. I got freedom of speech to threaten to murder everyone I know. And then after somebody doesn't, you go, oh, well, they should have checked in on that.

We tried, we tried to check in on you, lunatics. And nope, nope, no, no, don't check in, but afterwards, don't take my guns. I got it, I got it. You love the idea of being able to murder people. I got it, I got it. And because of that, you let everyone have a gun. My parents went to Turkey today. And they're like, they were worried about, hey, is our political situation okay?

Is everything gonna be safe? Are you kidding me? Hurry up and get the turkey so you can be safe. It's a madhouse filled with massacres here. Who in their right mind would wanna stay here? This is, guys, wake up because the media is helping to brainwash you. This is the most dangerous country in the world. Our gun homicide rate is like 64 times other developed nations.

It's nonstop massacres as far as I can see and no one's gonna do anything about it. But don't worry, don't worry. We are allowing the government to make decisions on behalf of women in regard to what they can do with their bodies because this is a very pro-life country. Again, like I just really want to drive that point home. The very politicians who want to control women's bodies. who want the government to get involved in what a woman can do with her body, what a woman decides between, you know, her and her doctor, they then turn around and say, no, we can't do

anything about guns because in reality we get paid off and bribed by weapons manufacturers and, you know, we obviously money talks and we're going to look out for our donors. That's, that's the real reason. But then, you know, they talk about their hobby and how much they care about the Constitution and the Second Amendment, you know, ignoring what the Second Amendment really says, which is, you know, right to bear arms in a well-regulated militia, they always forget that second part. But more importantly, everything else in the Constitution is just up for interpretation for the right wing, right? When it comes to the separation of church and state, nah, meh, not as important. I mean, it's in the First Amendment, but not as important.

Let's funnel public money into private religious institutions in the country. That's what the Supreme Court just ruled. No, we're in a lot of trouble because it's not just about finding opposition, you know, members of the opposition party, in this case, Democrats to fight back. I mean, we know they're weak, we know they're incompetent, we know they're not going to fight back. But it takes more than fighting back now. The entire system needs to change. Yeah, look, talk to anyone outside the country.

that they, because you have a skewed perspective inside America because of our media. You talk to people outside the country, they think this place is a madhouse. They can't believe that the right wing has turned this place into an absolute mental asylum, and the Democrats have done nothing to counter it. So to Anna's point, they'll say, wait, your right wingers say that they're pro-life, but they don't mind 19 kids being murdered in Texas because they want their gun rights. Profits over people. They're like, but they just literally don't get it.

They're like, well, how could you be pro-life if you say, no, I want there to be AR-15s that mowed down your kids 24-7? They say outside the country, we would never allow our kids to be massacred on a regular basis. What is wrong with you people? I'll tell you what's wrong. And then on top of that, you claim to be pro-life in favor of saving kids' lives? They're like, it just doesn't make any rational sense at all. What is wrong with you people? So let's just make it very clear for the international community, so they know exactly what is wrong with our politicians.

They have been, and always will, put the profits of corporations, in this case the profits of weapons manufacturers over human lives, profits over human lives, profits over human lives. Everything else that the right wing engages in, and to be quite frank, even Democrats engage in, is just culture war stuff to give you the illusion of governing, which is why they've focused on stripping women of their reproductive rights, not because they actually care about human lives, not because they actually think that zygote is the equivalent of a viable living, breathing human being, but because that's all they can campaign on. The culture war stuff. That is what they do. So that's why there's that weird disconnect, that huge conflict with, on one hand, Republicans saying, no, we want looser gun laws, even though we know more and more people are going to die as a result of that. While simultaneously they claim they're pro-life while wanting to control the bodies of women. Yeah, last thing, can we show a picture of that victim with a blood splattered on our face? It's graphic, just want to give you that warning.

But here's the 18 year old who posted this and she says, I can't believe I was in the middle of a mass shooting. I felt safe at this parade for 18 years and today I got hit with a bullet and nothing will change in America. This is ridiculous. By the way, she's been going to the parade for 18 years. Uncertain how old she is. But what I thought was interesting, Jank, is in response to that, you have a Huffington Post reporter and Brenoff saying, I am sorry this happened to you and to everyone else there. It's awful and these shootings just keep coming at us.

Please register to vote if you haven't already. Why? Look, I'm not discouraging people from voting, but vote for what? Vote for what? Loser Democrats? Loser Democrats who, after this, passed the impotent red flag law and door laws and whatever dumbass things Ted Cruz wanted? For what?

For what? For Democrats who are never going to fight for us? But I wanted to show that picture because the right wing says we should allow this to happen all the time, but we're pro-life. Can you show a picture? Because the pro-life folks think that this is no big deal, no big deal at all. They have a hobby, and they'd like to shoot feral hogs and varmints. And so this is no big deal to the quote-unquote pro-life crowd, world's biggest hypocrites. All right, we're going to take a quick break. When we come back, Lauren Bobert, as always, is very confused, and we're going to help her understand the difference

between gun laws and how they work in Denmark versus here in the United States. Come right back. over your parents' basement or moving to campus.

And thank you to Elder Mind Pulse on Twitch who gifted 50 subs. Really appreciate it. All right. Thank you, Anna. Go ahead. Well, let's talk a little bit about the reaction to some mass shootings over the weekend. I knowbert tends to have a little bit of difficulty with things like logic.

So we thought we would help her out here a little bit with how she responded to a shooting that took place in a country where shootings don't happen often, Denmark, and how she exploited that tragedy to make a point about how we should further loosen gun laws here in the United States where gun violence is so commonplace that you really can't go to any celebrations without having in the best. back of your mind, the fear that someone might open fire. Now, I want to talk about what happened in Denmark before getting to Lauren Bobert's comments about it. It all happened over the weekend when a 22-year-old gunman opened fire and killed three people in Copenhagen. And the shooting happened at the field shopping mall. The shooter was a 22-year-old Danish man and he shot people randomly. It's unclear what his motive was when he opened fire, but two dozen people were injured, as I mentioned, three were killed. The deceased victims include a 17-year-old Danish girl, a 17-year-old Danish boy, and a 47-year-old Russian man who was living in Denmark.

Now, the shooter had a history of mental health issues and had contact with the psychiatric health system in Denmark, and he was armed with both a rifle and a knife. Shortly before the shooting, he had uploaded videos on social media where he simulated suicide with the rifle and a gun. And he also said that a specific type of psychiatric medication he was on was not working. The firearms he used during the shooting were posed with in the videos, but they were not owned by him. They were not his guns. The authorities believe that they were legally owned by a person living in the same home as the shooter. Now, in response to that, Lauren Bobert decided to take to Twitter to say, quote, there was just a mass shooting in Denmark,

a country with some of the strictest gun laws in Europe. It's time to admit that gun laws do not stop mass shootings. Now, that is a stupid comment. If you just take a moment to do a comparison between a country like Denmark and its gun violence versus the United States and its gun violence, especially with its laxed gun laws. Public citizen responded to Bobert saying, Denmark had three mass shootings in the last 28 years. The United States had 17 mass shootings in the last five days. The difference is quite clear.

So this talking point from right wingers really does blow my mind. Because if you want to consider that logic, okay, well then apply it to every other law. We shouldn't even bother with drunk driving laws because there are still going to be people who are undeterred from drunk driving and they're going to take to the streets while under the influence of drugs or alcohol or both and they're going to risk their lives and the lives of others in doing so. So why even bother with drunk driving laws? No, the laws significantly minimize the number of occurrences. In this case, we're talking about mass shootings. Again, in Denmark, just by volume, they have far less mass shootings than we have here in the United States, where again, it's been a common occurrence. Yeah. So there's two definitions of mass shootings that are most popularly used. One is four people get shot. Another is that four people die. Okay, so get shot and get killed. And so if you go by the stricter definition of four people being actually killed, what happened in Denmark is not even a mass shooting by American standards. So Bobbers like, can you believe they had a mass shooting?

No, we have so many mass shootings that we have a higher standard. By that standard, in the same period of time, the public citizens talking about, about 28 years, Denmark didn't really have three mass shootings. They didn't really qualify on a couple of those. We, on the other hand, had about 560 mass shootings in the same time period. That's from the stricter definition, at least four dead. Massacre. In the time that Denmark maybe had three, but not really, we had 560 massacres, let alone, if you count, by the way, the looser definition that Denmark is using, we have one a day.

And you know what that comes out to over the same time period? Over 10,000 mass shootings in America, three in Denmark. It almost seems like stricter gun laws translates to less mass shootings. Am I getting that correct or correctly or is Lauren Bobert somehow way smarter than everyone else? Yeah, no, it's not a matter of smart or not smart. It's just a matter of facts. And so there is no question, it's not an opinion. America has an order of magnitude higher mass shootings than every other development, every other nation period.

What is it correlated to? It is correlated exactly to the number of guns that we own. It isn't about the number of video games or rap songs or movies, which the whole world gets. They play a lot of video games in Japan. There's rap music everywhere. Every country has mental health issues. Every country is the same amount of mental health issues.

The only difference is guns. It's super obvious except to the people who want the guns and who don't mind the massacres. But look, weapons manufacturers with their profit motive in mind are donating huge sums of money to politicians like Lauren Bobert. So on one hand, she will look you in the eye and lie to you while claiming that banning abortion is important. Controlling women's bodies, having the government control women's bodies is super important because she's pro-life, except for when it comes to those pesky guns, because money talks. And as long as she's collecting that cash from weapons manufacturers, she's going to continue. Honestly, she's

just embarrassing herself. Okay, no self-respect, lying to the American people about how no lax gun laws make all the sense in the world, even though there's endless data showing how our lax gun laws translate to more gun related debts. In fact, let's do more comparisons between the United States and Denmark. I looked at some data from gun policy.org. They do comparisons of various countries and their gun laws. And if you look at this graph, it'll show you the number of gun debts per one.

100,000 people in Denmark, okay, that's per capita. And if you look at it, it shows that the number fluctuates a little bit, but it's within the two person range, okay? All right, now let's look at the United States, okay? Where, yeah, wow, that's significantly higher. If you look at 2019, for instance, more than 12 deaths per 100,000 people in the United States. So are you really going to compare the two countries and pretend as though the United States

is like, we're better off? There's no, I mean, look, they have strict gun laws in Denmark and it's made no difference, except it has made a difference, a significant difference in regard to the number of people who die every year as a result of gun related deaths, gun related causes. Look, it's not just Bobert, it's her voters, they just reelected her. We covered the primary the other night. She won easily by over 30 points. Remember, this is the American psycho that put out the Christmas card with all of her family,

including her kids, including her young kids, holding high-powered assault rifles. Because, I mean, look, if you saw that in any other country, it doesn't have to be a politician. If that's just a regular person, they sent out Christmas cards like that, the police are going to come and talk to them and say, are you okay? are you giving loaded weapons to your kids? Are you a danger to the community? And they will likely not only take away the guns, but they might take away your kids because you're a literal psycho.

And in America, she got easily reelected. Yeah. Republican voters are like, oh, you're arming your nine-year-olds with weapons. So I don't know the exact age of the kids in that picture. But your teenagers, et cetera, and there's nonstop massacres all around us, and you're promoting it? and encouraging it, great, we love it, okay?

So we're the only on a show that's telling you, the core of the problem is the Republican voters themselves. Everyone else is afraid to tell you what the reality is. Well, let's move on to something a little different, but kind of related. The American Taliban strikes again. Let's discuss. Will the state of South Dakota, going forward, force a 10-year-old in that very same situation to have a baby? You know what I think is incredible, Dana, in this tragic story, because I heard about this last night.

What's incredible is that nobody's talking about the pervert, horrible, and deranged individual that raped a 10 year old. And what is it, what are we doing about that? I agree with you. I mean, of course. That is an important discussion to have. You rape children, that's an issue that the Supreme Court has weighed in as well. Listen, I totally understand that. But are what we can do for that little girl. I think we also need to be addressing those sick individuals that do this to our children. South Dakota Governor Christy Noem had a little difficulty answering a question about a 10-year-old rape victim who was impregnated by her rapist and had to travel out of Ohio to Indiana just to get an abortion. Now, Christy Noem was clearly asked by Dana Bash in that interview, do you think that's right? Do you think it's okay?

And she deflected by talking about the pervert who raped her and asked, what are we going to do about that? I don't know, Christy. Why don't you talk to the DAs? Why don't you talk to the prosecutors in your state and get that squared away? But how about you answer the question about the fact that a 10-year-old was impregnated by her rapist and had to travel outside of the state. She was lucky enough to have a family that had the resources to travel outside of the state to obtain an abortion in a neighboring state, Indiana, which by the way is working on its own abortion bans. Now just to give you some more details on that, and then we'll go to the rest of Christy

Nome's despicable comments. The appalling decision to overturn Roe triggered or allowed trigger laws like Ohio's previously unconstitutional six-week abortion ban to go into effect. That meant a 10-year-old rape victim in that state was denied an abortion because because she was pregnant for three days past the six week ban. Can we just stop for a second? A 10 year old is, 10 year old can die through giving birth. They don't care. They don't care about the insult to injury.

They don't care about the fact that, you know, this 10 year old's life will be absolutely destroyed by being forced. Her body and her life will be absolutely destroyed by having to give birth based on the government, the government, okay? The giant government making a decision on her behalf, forcing her to just be a vessel for what the right wing purports to care about, which is a zygo. But as we know, as soon as that baby is born, they'll abandon that kid, they'll let that kid live and die in poverty and they won't think about it or care about it for a second, okay? Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician gynecologist, said she had received a call from a colleague doctor in Ohio who treats child abuse victims and asked for help. Indiana's lawmakers have not yet banned or restricted abortion, but don't worry, they are

likely to do so when a special session of the State Assembly convenes later this month. And Jenk, before I go to you, I just want to go to the final video where Christine Ome is, you know, being badgered by Dana Bash, and I give her credit for that, and it has no choice, but to finally answer the question. And this is how disgusting and callous this woman is. Let's watch. A child, should she have to have that baby? Every single life, every single life is precious.

This tragedy is horrific. I can't even imagine. I've never had anybody in my family or myself gone through anything like this. I can't even imagine. But in South Dakota, the law today is that the abortions are illegal except to save the life. And you would be okay with that, a 10 year old girl having to have a baby? No, I'm never okay with that. In fact, that story will keep me up at night.

It absolutely will. So would you try to change their law to have an exception of a friend in a situation like this? I've got a one-year-old little granddaughter named Miss Addy. I can't even imagine what I would say is I don't believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy. And so there's more that we've got. The new BMO, V.I.

We've got to do to make sure that we really are living a life that says every life is precious. Let me be clear. I can't imagine if some young girl in her family, ends up getting pregnant as a result of someone raping them.

But I can also imagine, and this is absolutely what would happen, Christy Noem and the rest of her right-wing family members will ensure that that young girl gets that abortion. I guarantee it, I guarantee it. And then she goes, no, of course I'm not okay with that. Of course I'm not okay with the 10-year-old giving birth to her rapist child. Except you are. You are okay with that.

That is the issue that you have decided to support. You totally believe in the government getting in between women and their doctors. Young girls who are rape victims and their doctors, that is who Christy Noam is. She's got nothing else to offer to her voters. So she's got to rely on the callous nature of the policies that literally force rape victims as young as 10 to give birth to a rapist child. By the way, and as she supports that, what does she do on the side? Loosen gun laws, loosen gun laws. I mean, endless mass shootings, endless death and destruction in this country as a result of that.

She's pro-life, right? Pro-life. The only time they're pro-life is when they use that talking point to control women's bodies. That is it. Yeah. So I guarantee you that they would fly their family member to Paris. They wouldn't want to get caught driving to another state. And so they're rich Republicans.

They're not going to follow the rules. They never do. We've told you countless stories of Republicans going and getting abortions and then rejoining picket lines in front of the abortion center. And when asked, is that the most hypocritical thing in the world? They say, oh, no, no, I wasn't a slut. The arrest of them are sluts. God damn it, that's how they think about women. These idiots.

So why did she not answer the direction question directly? She did eventually. Eventually she finally said we can't have one tragedy to lead to another tragedy. So no, South Dakota would not allow that child to get rid of the zygote inside of her body before it grows into an actual baby that she has to carry for nine months and then give birth to and then raise the rest of her life. Okay. All right.

With no help from the state, by the course not. Of course not. Zero help. And then Christine Nguer throw bootstraps at her and go, oh, so what are you poor? Oh, what do you want more unemployment for your parents? Paid family leave, child tax, you're not going to give you anything, right? That's what Christina would say, because she's a monster. Why didn't you just answer the question?

Because you're embarrassed. Why are you embarrassed? Because your position is monstrous. And you know that Americans don't agree with you at all except your crazed lunatic base. who's like, control the women, make the 10-year-old have the rapist baby, make her. That's Republicans, you're voting that way. Don't tell me you're not, because that's exactly how you're voting. So that face I just did, in those words I just said, that is you, Republican voters.

That's exactly you. So, hey, just come out and be open and honest for the first time in your lives. Just say, I just want to control women's bodies. I want the big government, tyrannical government, to snatch their bodies and say, you're not allowed to control your body for nine months. Because why? She made the mistake of getting raped by an adult. And then they say, oh, Q and on and we're worried about child molestation and stuff.

Then it's the government molesting that young girl for nine more months saying no. You have to keep that inside your body. But you people are the sickest people I've ever met. That's why you're embarrassed. That's why you're embarrassed. But barely. We're not embarrassed about our position at all, 0%. Because we are correct, and you are morally inferior to us.

Oh, oh, wow, did I just say something you say for the last 40 years? Oh, Democrats, oh, they're not morally right. Oh, they'll do abortions. Oh, we're morally better. No, you're morally inferior. You're evil people, evil, okay? Try to be a decent person for a change. No, it's not in their nature.

They don't know how to be decent people. Let's talk about life and death in a state like South Dakota. Because it turns out South Dakota, one of the red states that's extreme when it comes to anti-choice legislation, but also pretty extreme when it comes to infant mortality. So we're talking about women who want to keep, you know, they want to keep the pregnancy through term. They want to give birth. And, you know, we live in a country with all sorts of pick yourself up by the bootstraps garbage. That usually ends in death for a lot of people, including newborns.

So if you look at the infant mortality rate, the states with the highest infant mortality rate tend to be red states. In South Dakota, it's 6.9 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. Let's take a look at where South Dakota fares. These are the top states with the highest infant mortality rates. So as we've talked about before, Mississippi comes in at number one. Then you've got Louisiana, West Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, South Dakota, and then North Carolina. You guys noticing a trend there? Then you look at the states with the lowest infant mortality rates.

Again, these are live births, right, that end in the baby dying, doesn't survive. Vermont has the lowest with zero, which is kind of miraculous. Then you've got California, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey. It's interesting how the states with the lowest infant mortality rates tend to be states that not only have better laws in regard to reproductive rights, but more importantly, have stronger programs, a stronger social safety net, to help support women, to take. to help support families, to help support children, to help support people in the state living in poverty.

You don't get any of that in a state like South Dakota. You don't, because they don't care about lives at all. They don't care about the high rate of infant mortality in a state like South Dakota. It's all about controlling people's bodies. And let me just remind you for the billionth time that while Christy Gnome would have a 10 year old rape victim give birth to a rapist baby, and doesn't see that as a problem, doesn't it as something that's terrible to her body, doesn't see it as invasive. They can't be bothered to put a piece of cloth over their faces during a contagious pandemic.

That was invasive. That was a violation of their bodily autonomy, right? No, they're full of crap. They don't care about human lives, they will avoid doing the bare minimum knowing full well that doing the bare minimum, like wearing a mask will stop the spread of a highly contagious and lethal virus. They don't care. They just don't care.

Take those too fast. Combine them, and you see who's actually pro-life and who's not. In the red states, several hundred thousand more people died from coronavirus than in the blue states. Why? Mask is anti-freedom. Vaccines are anti-freedom, right? So we'll just have a couple hundred thousand of our neighbors die because we don't care

about their life at all. Oh, okay, taking care of kids as they're being born? Who cares? Not going to do it. We're red states. We don't care about life at all. At all. So all the rates states are the least pro-life. It's just a fact. It's statistically a fact. And the blue states are the most pro-life. Actual life. Those are stone-cold facts. Because for Republicans, it doesn't have anything to do with life. Which brings me into my final point. Adam Kisinger said, oh, you know, when I was colleagues with Kristi Nome, she wasn't like this at all. It's so sad to see her trying to, you know, become Trump's running mate, and that's why she's doing this.

I don't care why she's doing it. She's a monster. Does that help that she's doing it to appeal to the Republican voters who are also monsters so that they could all work together to help Donald Trump get elected an even bigger monster? No, don't give the fact that she's a lying scum politician as an excuse for her monstrous behavior. It doesn't make it better. It makes it worse. None of you are pro-life.

All you believe in is oppression. All right, we got to take a quick break. When we come back, we've got some fire for the Democratic Party because they are dazed and confused in regard to what should they do? Should they fight to protect women's reproductive rights? They don't know. It's a big debate. We've got that story and more coming right up. Back on TYT, Chankana with you guys, more news.

Political, hey, all right. So let's get to Democrats and what they've been up to. Political reports that there is an actual debate taking place within the Democratic Party in regard to whether or not they should fight aggressively to protect women's reproductive rights. I'm not even kidding, it's a debate. And apparently there are the individuals within Congress who think, no, it's really important that we fight for reproductive rights because young voters who really turn up and make all

the difference in elections for us might not show up if we don't support the issues that they want us to support. Congratulations. You just made the most obvious statement ever. But here's what political rights. The fear is that the youngest voters who smashed participation records in the last two elections and backed Joe Biden by a 25 point margin in 2020 won't vote in the midterms. Some Democrats stress that the Biden administration and Congress need to do more to show

their rage and willingness to take significant action to make. mirror the passion seen among young people, three quarters of whom support abortion being generally legal. Now, on young Democratic voters and their views on abortion, apparently there's a little bit of a disconnect between the young voters who honestly have everything on the line when it comes to reproductive rights, by the very nature of them being young and fertile, versus older Democratic voters who are typically in their elderly period of life and don't have to worry about unintended, unwanted pregnancies. So not only did three quarters of them say, meaning the young voters, abortion should be

generally legal, 30% said that it should be legal in all cases. But according to Pew Research, 54% of voters over 65 said abortion should be legal by contrast. So the real question here is for the Democrats engaging in this debate, legislatively speaking, do we care at all about these young voters, or do we just keep appealing to older voters who don't really care as much about this incredibly important issue? And look, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. The mainstream Democratic Party is full of corrupt, self-interested narcissistic losers who have shown us, who have made it very clear that they really don't stand for a damn thing.

On one hand, they pretend to care about reproductive rights. On the other hand, you've got Democratic leadership in the form of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, showing up to campaign for an anti-choice loser like Henry Quay are in Texas when he really had a progressive challenger that they could have supported instead and made all the difference by supporting her instead. This is what they stand for, this is what Democrats are. They're spineless, feckless, corrupt losers. They just are.

All right. So to give you a sense of how devastating this fact is that young people are dispirited by the lack of action in democratic politics, I know most mainstream Democrats that watch MSNBC and CNN will be like, oh, young people, it's their fault. It's okay, we'll just get rid of them. We just ignore them. All right, good luck with that. If you ignore them, you will lose all elections.

So that's a fact. Let me explain why that's a fact. So in Virginia, Biden won the state by 10 points over Trump. But Youngen, the Republican, beat Terry McCall to Democrat later in the governor's race. And why did he beat him? Because the electorate was 12% whiter and 8% older. That's all it took. 8% older and you lose. In fact, the Democratic pollster then explained if that happens in the swing states in 2024, We will lose every single swing state. You will lose every single swing state Democrats if you do not deliver something, first of all, for anyone, but also specifically for younger voters. So then I know what you're going to do next, you morons.

You're going to blame younger voters. Yep, 100%. Why don't you actually do something for younger voters when you have power instead of just constantly doing, oh, donors, donors, we're going to help the donors. And then, oh, it's young people's fault. No, it's your fault. It's your fault for doing nothing. 100%.

And by the way, none of the media ever tells you that. This article, it has important, interesting facts, we bring it to you, but it's also trash. So everything in the articles framed us, it's young people's fault. Democrats, of course, can't do anything. It's just an assumption baked into the article. And the rest is about how blaming young people for not voting. So let me just give you two quotes here, that's important. So they go to this Democratic pollster, Terrence Woodbury, and you know, it's a very average normal Democratic poster.

And he says, even so, Democrats think this kind of political theater is what voters, especially Gen Z, need to see to value signal that they're willing to fight for them. Yeah, we're not interested in theater. Okay, we get plenty of theater from Democratic leadership. We get the Kente-Kloff Neil Sessions. We get the poetry readings from Nancy Pelosi. We ain't interested in theater. We're interested in action. That is what people are interested in.

And do you get what the Democratic consultants are telling the Democratic politicians? Just virtue signal to your young voters. But value signal, they renamed value signal. We're not interested in value signaling. We're interested in elected lawmakers who were elected by people into these positions of power to actually represent their best interests to do just that. Represent their best interests. Counter the damage and destruction and the suffering that's being implemented by the Republican Party. You know, the issues that you campaigned on, the issues you campaigned on.

How about you carry out those policies? But they don't. They love the convenient Henry Quayar excuses. They love the convenient Joe Manchin excuses. Never mind the fact that LBJ managed to get the Civil Rights Act passed at a time when racism was like front and center, okay, didn't matter. He would use any method, any strategy necessary, whether it was carrots or sticks in the form of coercion, threats, intimidation.

He didn't care. That's politics, baby. But the Democratic Party has been castrated by their corporate donors. And they have taken our votes for granted. They think that they're entitled to our votes, even after they do nothing for us. Nah, we're not playing that game anymore. Sorry, Joe Biden would be stupid to run again in 2024. He needs to sit his ass down, take his nap.

Take your nap, Joe. Take your nap. Why do you want to run again in 2024? You're ineffective. You are a failure. You have failed the electorate. You have all these people showing up to vote, canvassing on your behalf, ensuring the two Democrats won the Senate runoff races in Georgia, because you said it was so important to have that

majority in the Senate. And then you turned around and did nothing for the American people. Sit down, don't run again. It would be a massive mistake. I got to add to something. I hate the Democrats. Let me just be clear about that, okay? Republicans garbage.

This is not an endorsement of what the Republicans are doing. I am furious that the corporate Democratic Party fearmongers about the right wing and then enables them. That is all they do. They enable them day in, day out. I despise these people. They all need to be primaried. They need to sit down, get the hell out of the way, and let actual leaders do the governing.

Sorry, Jane, go ahead. Yeah, so to build that one, and I was saying, do you remember them saying, hey, if you If you get us the two senators in Georgia, then we'll need two more senators. We're not actually going to do anything. No, you didn't remember that, right? Because they didn't say that. They said, hey, get us the two senators in Georgia and we'll have a majority and we'll get you all of our campaign promises. Then as soon as you got them those two senators, what do they say?

Just kidding, there's another two and we need another two. And by the way, please don't be a schmuck. If you give them two more Democratic senators, look, I'd be happy because it's not Republican. senators. I mean, we're talking about this much difference at this point. But do you think that's going to make a difference in actually getting anything passed? Nope. Of course not. Then they'll say they need two more senators. If you gave him 20 senators, and I'm not exaggerating. If you gave the Democrats 20 more senators, they would say they need two more senators. It's your fault. You're not voting hard enough. It's your fault. The onus is on you. That is what

the mainstream Democratic Party is telling its base as we speak. I'll make a prediction right now, okay? And it's not going to happen because the Democrats aren't going to win. But if the Democrats got two more seats, I had 52 seats in the Senate, the thing that they say that they won, and they kept the House and they kept the White House. Do you think they would do voting rights? They would do women's rights. They'd pass a national law to make abortion legal.

They would do child tax credit. Any of the things that they promised, I got news for you. They wouldn't do a single one of those things. So if you're in the media and you're not talking about how they're lying, you're not really a reporter, you're just fillating them, okay? So here, I'll give you another nonsense quote, because you know what the reporters do is they go and talk to like-minded conservative Democrats, and then they quote them, go, this isn't my opinion. Just everyone I talk to said it's really the voters problem and not Biden and the powerful people. Powerful people are awesome, okay?

So they found John De LaVope, director of the Harvard Youth Poll, hilarious. He says, I think the Gen C participates in 2022, period. And they can have an even greater impact than anyone considered if this righteous anger is properly channeled through a coordinated and localized strategy to make things right. Yeah, good luck with that. Good luck with that. I love that wishful thinking. Yeah, you know, Gen Z is going to make all the difference by turning up to vote for a party that has given it the middle finger over and over again that has not delivered on even the most basic, basic agenda items. Let me give you more. Okay, this is the part that this is the disconnect. This is the heart of the debate within the Democratic Party.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that Democrats cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power, ticking through a list of potential actions the party could take, including moving to expand the Supreme Court that was shot down by Biden, opening abortion clinics on federal lands also shut down by the Biden administration and repealing the Hyde Amendment. Not even a consideration, not even on their radar. Okay, so there are things they could do. I mean, it's incredible to see the kind of power that Donald Trump was willing to wield versus the power that the Biden administration just leaves on the countertop, walks away, tells you can't really do much for you. Please

vote harder. Please vote harder. Now let's go to the response from people like Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris pushed back on that frustration in front of a room full of donors. Of course she did. Where else would she be? Defending Biden's urging to vote in November. She says, quote, I know some people are saying, stop talking to us about the elections. We know. Don't trivialize these significance. We can't afford to because Democrats' margins in Congress are razor thin. It doesn't matter if you guys are in the majority. You don't do anything with that power anyway. Now again, I think people should exercise their right to vote, do so in an informed way, but my problem is with the Democratic Party taking our votes for granted, thinking that

it's not something they have to work for, it's not something that they have to deliver for, that it's just something that's automatically granted to them because the other side is so terrible and so vicious. Well, the other side is terrible and vicious, and you've done nothing to stop them. So why would anyone feel motivated enough to turn up to vote knowing full well that you will not deliver the very basic protections and agenda items for the Democratic Party? Come on. Okay, so I'm just the last couple of things here on what they can do because we're constructive. So AOC came up with a whole list. And then instead of saying, oh, that's a good list, we'll tell you what we can and can't do on that list. And there could be reasons why you can't

do a particular proposal, right? No, they turned around and blamed AOC for letting people know that there are actually things that they could do. They're like, shush, what are you doing? People are going to find out that we don't want to do anything. Yeah, that's the point. That's the point, okay? Then CNN does a story about how Joe Biden is befuddled. He's like, no, I'm trying to be the anti-Trump. That's why he tried to use his power inside the White House. I'm trying and not to use my power, a moron, total utter moron. And he's like, well, I'm sitting here doing nothing. I don't get it.

I'm the Democratic president. Everybody should be kissing my ass. And he's like, they had a call. They brought on activists and celebrities. And even the celebrities who are super not progressive liberals. Liberals meaning like old school, like, oh, let's do theatrics and not really. Deborah Messing is a good example. And Deborah Messing loves Hillary Clinton, loves Joe Biden, right?

And oh no, Bernie Sanders will actually do things. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. We just, we kind of like this. Even they're fed up to hear. Deborah Messing started yelling at them. She's a diehard Hillary Clinton supporter, started yelling at them on the phone. Wait a minute, why did you guys invite us on this call? I thought we were going to get an action plan.

What is your plan? What is your plan? They're like, oh, we don't have one yet. The leak was six weeks ago. And afterwards, they're like, oh, no, no, this is why we invited you on the call. because we want you to share TikTok videos of Biden. No, it's insane. Losers, losers.

CNN wrote a piece on this as well. I got to read you a few excerpts. Top Democrats complain. Biden isn't acting with or perhaps is not even capable of. The urgency of the moment demands, rudderless, aimless, and hopeless is how one member of Congress described the White House. It gets worse, by the way. So try to follow along with this.

and not lose your mind. More than a week after the abortion decision, top Biden aides are still wrangling over releasing new actions and response, despite the draft decision leaking six weeks earlier. White House counsel Dana Remus had assured senior aides, the Supreme Court wouldn't rule on abortion that day. Unbelievable, a White House press aide assigned to the issue

was walking to get coffee when the alert hit. They were completely caught off guard, completely caught off guard. Unbelievable, negligence, incompetence, several Democratic leaders privately mocked how the president stood in the foyer of the White House, squinting through his remarks from a teleprompter as demonstrators poured into the streets, making only vague promises of action because he and his aides hadn't decided on more. He is not fit to be president of the United States. Do not run for reelection, I will not vote for him.

just won't. Why? What's the point? I kind of want him to run so we could run a progressive against them and beat him easily, easily. No one wants this guy. Okay, so with all the games that the corporate media plays and the mainstream Democratic Party plays, they'll ensure that he's the nominee. They'll ensure it. Our number one problem is corporate media and the lie on top of lie on top of lie to support obvious losers and idiots that are the corporate Democrats because of the infinite goddamn corruption. Last thing, guys, at least, The political piece quoted an actual progressive. Amanda Lippman, co-founded a run for something.

She's been on the show. She had a fun quote. She said, they need to get caught trying. Give us a reason to trust you. So finally someone that makes sense because she's younger, she's progressive. And so, well, what could they do? Because whenever I tweet about this on social media, all the older Democrats that watch MSMC, they're befuddled just like Joe Biden.

Like, what can you do? I don't understand. What can we do? There's nothing we can do there is the votes. Well, yeah, there's nothing you do if you're a loser. If you want to put political pressure on people like Lyndon Johnson did, like FDR did, like every effective president of the United States did in a very practical way, you have votes.

And then you go, oh, who voted no and who voted yes? Oh, we vote around the filibuster to get rid of the filibuster to get you legalized road throughout the country, right? Oh, it turns out Mansion of Cinema voted no. So Mansion of Cinema are the bad guys. Now we apply pressure. Joe Biden's like, what? What? Apply pressure.

Oh, that means. When do I give him to Mitch McConnell? When's my next nap? Yeah, dude, just Anna's right. I mean, I want you to run so we can kick your ass. But just go home and take a nap if that's what you wanted. Why did you run? Why did you run?

And we all know why. Because he has no fire in the belly to get anything done other than Amtrak. Okay? Oh, I'm a guy from Scranton and I like to take her Amtrak. That's my political theater. Everybody right like I'm a normal guy. You've been an insider for 50 goddamn years. Who are you kidding?

Yes, corporate media are nonstop liars. Don't believe any of their crap. But Biden didn't have a fire in his belly for a goddamn thing. He ran because of ego. 100%. Here, I'll decipher it for you guys since the media lies to you. Every politician has a giant outsized ego. They don't give a damn about you.

And if they're Democrats, they're never going to do what they promise, because they didn't run for you. They ran for themselves so they can have high status and respect from their friends in Washington. That's what this is about. Just playing with our lives. All right, we got to take a break. When we come back, we have the story of Jalen Walker, who was shot at 90 times by the cops and has 60 bullet holes in his body. to prove it. We've got that story and more coming right up.
