Meanwhile, enjoy the free podcast. Well, the Young Turks, we've got a great show ahead for you guys, tons of stories. A Russian reporter mysteriously dies while slipping off a balcony. That case is amazing. I want to share that with you in a little bit on how often opponents of Vladimir Putin or his oligarch friends in Russia wind up slipping off of balconies. So, and then speaking of funny coincidences, Sean Hannity. He rails against conflicts of interest on television, then it appears to have a giant conflict of interest of his own in regards to Michael Cohen.

We have clips. We have clips. You're going to love the videos, including one sent in by one of our viewers. So we appreciate that. Later in the program, Alex Jones sued, perhaps into oblivion by the Sandy Hook parents. So that's a fascinating story. And then way later on, so this is the way it goes. We've got a two-hour show, as you all know, Young Turks, 6 to 8 p.m.

On Mondays, of course, it starts at 5.30 with Dan Rather. And then Rebel headquarters are. I'm going to have some great progressive guests. And then the post came with Anna today. And then afterwards, I'm going to be interviewing today, Amanda Marcotte, buckle up, brace for impact. she was one of the biggest opponents of Bernie Sanders during the 2016 primary. Not a fan of Bernie Sanders. That should be a fascinating conversation.

Members get to see that live. That'll be at about 9.15 p.m. Eastern. So if you're a member, you get all of that whenever you want. TYT Network.com slash join. Okay, now let's have some fun and do some stories. Okay. Stormy Daniels has come out with a composite picture of the person that she says at Cosseter back in 2011. Now, this is very important because of the legal dominoes that it sets into effect. First of all, as you're seeing in the graphic here, let's show you the full screen picture of what the guy apparently looks like based on her description and one of the top basically portrait drawers in the country.

that does this for a living, Lewis Gibson forensic artist drew this. Now, we're going to get back to that picture because there's some interesting theories about that in a second. But let me tell you what happened back in 2011. Remember, Stormy Daniels is, of course, an adult film actress who had an affair with Donald Trump

back in 2006. It was a couple of months after Melania Trump had had her first child with Donald Trump. That's, of course, Baron Trump. And so Donald Trump didn't want this coming out. She might have pictures and texts as well. Another reason why Donald Trump didn't want it coming out. We're not having a discussion as to whether it happened.

It most clearly happened based on overwhelming evidence. So now the question is, did Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, pay her $130,000 as hush money? Would that be, for example, an in-kind contribution that would violate campaign finance law significantly? But that's not the only legal issue. The other legal issue is apparently threats that were made to her five years after. after the affair in 2011. Now, that's when she started talking to the press. So that's the significance of the year 2011. And she explains her version of the story of what happened to her in Vegas. She says, I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter,

and a guy walked up on me and said to me, leave Trump alone. Forget the story. And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, that's a beautiful little girl. It'd be shame if something happened to her mom, and then he was gone. Okay, now, if that in fact happened, that is significant legal trouble for anyone who might have contracted out that thug to go threaten Stormy Daniels that way. Now, the affair with Donald Trump, as I told you, is absolutely clear cut. She said all the way back in 2011, she described the details of the affair way before Donald Trump even considered running for president, and that was all on tape.

They did pay her hushman. There's no question about that. Whether this guy exists, and that crime happened, is an open question. But if it were to be settled in the direction that he is real, that did happen. And if Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, were the one who contracted him, boy, he's in massive trouble, not campaign finance kind of trouble, but, and by the way, that is very significant. But this, we could be talking about decades in prison here. This is, this is a giant matter that involves potential threats of physical violence.

And if Michael Cohen is in that kind of trouble, well, who's the one guy he's got evidence on? And what kind of trouble does that put Donald Trump in? So Stormy Daniels attorney has put out an email if you see this guy. You're apparently supposed to, it's a $100,000 reward. There's no joke, okay? And the email is ID the thug at gmail.com. ID the thug at gmail.com. And by the way, if you do find the guy, tell the lawyer the young Turks sent you.

No, no, you keep the money. I don't want any part of that hundred thousand dollars, okay? It'd be nice if somebody in the Young Turks Army found him. Now, while you're looking, don't get too confused because there are some people that he does look like. Let's be clear about that. One of them is this guy. Okay, keep it real. It is unlikely to be Tom Brady, so don't bother emailing in with I solved it if your answer is Tom Brady.

Okay. Now, another guy that it could be, according to some on the internet now, is a man named Glendon Crane. Well, that's curious, so that does kind of look like him a little bit. Because he's in a picture right there next to Stormy Daniels. Why are they in the picture together? because that's Stormy Daniels' husband. Oh, hmm, that is a curious coincidence.

So can I see the original portrait again? I mean, you're seeing it right there next to me, but still. And now let's see Stormy Daniels and her husband. Yeah, that's weird. Okay, that's just weird. Okay, so I don't know what's going on. That's why I told you this part. I don't know.

If it's real, it's a world of trouble for Michael Cohen and probably Donald Trump. If it isn't, by the way, it should be a world of trouble for Stormy Daniels. So, because you shouldn't make up anything like this. And just because this guy kind of happens to look like her husband doesn't mean that it's not real. But that is a weird, weird coincidence. Okay. It does look like him, right? It's okay, right?

Not, uh, my eyes aren't playing tricks at me. Okay. All right, let's keep going. So this is a story I rather enjoy. It's a good graphic. I like that graphic. Okay, all right, here we go. So I've been telling you for a long time,

Glenn Beck's site The Blaze is in trouble. That's because I'm good at math, and I know that his numbers don't add up. I'm also in digital media, giving me further context into how preposterous his claims were that he was running a profitable business. So obviously, Glenn Beck left Fox News, started the blaze and said that, you know, things were going great and put a lot of money into it.

A lot of people put a lot of money into it. And it looks like they're having a wee bit of trouble. And we have wonderful, rich details for you guys, literally in this case. Today, and the Daily Brief breaks this story. Glenn Beck, they explained, the inigmatic conservative media firebrand, it appears to be selling off his assets as his media enterprise downsizes. Betsy Woodruff and Max Taney reporting on that. Okay, no one's surprised by this. I told you they're having trouble and they started laying off a lot of people.

In fact, let's talk about that a little bit, but what they're selling off is the fun part. Earlier this year, Beck engaged in conversations with popular right-wing punded Ben Shapiro to buy or partner with Beck's right-leading news network, the Blaze, which has been hit with several rounds of massive layoffs over the past three years. Now, those layoffs are going to be very relevant in a second. Now, I don't know, if you're wondering, how in the hell can Ben Shapiro afford the Blaze, as much of financial trouble they're in? No, for conservatives, there's usually very, very wealthy people who are not actually looking to make a profit who finance a lot of this stuff. So like the Mercer, for example. Robert Mercer, Rebecca Mercer, finance Breitbart.

Never turned a profit. Never going to turn a profit. They're not in it for the capitalism. They're in it for the marketing and the propaganda. So I don't know who's behind Shapiro and who could possibly buy the Blaze. That's an interesting story for another day. But right now, let's look at what he's selling off. Beck's opulent spending habits have been a source of consternation at his media empire. Employees at the Blaze previously left. that Beck bought a Maybach sedan and kept his jet, his private jet, which was expensive to operate and maintain, you don't say, amid massive layoffs of the company in 2015. Oh, he's such a bad guy. All right, now let me show you what Mayback looks like in case you

haven't seen it, and I haven't. I might have seen the outside, and that's rare, but I certainly haven't seen the inside, and that's a lovely looking car. I like that the base model starts at 168,000. Do you get leather seats with 168,000, or do you have to upgrade for that? Is there, is it rolled down windows or is it power windows at $168,000? That is a pretty looking car. Now, that's not necessarily Glenn Beck's car, but Glensbach's a Maybach, and it looks something like that. Okay, and then he has a private jet. And again, this is not exactly his private jet, but this is the kind of private jet that he owns. It's a similar model, okay? Must be nice. This, what is that? Champagne or wine in the middle there? Very, very

nice. I don't love that particular color, but I'm sure Trump would feel at home. All right, so that's what he's doing. He once wrote a couple of years back to his daughter, these are moving words. Private jet travel is the only material thing that can actually change your life. Agreed to disagree. There's a lot of things that can change your life. I think there's a lot of things that can change your life and I'd start a little bit lower than private jet travel. I don't think that's the only thing that can materially change your life. Perposterous, what an insane thing to say. I mean, you don't want to travel to rival. Even in first class, I do declare unbearable. The only material change you're life is if you have a private jet. Okay, well, it looks like they're not going to have

a private jet anymore. So I guess his life has been materially changed for the worst. I don't know how the Beck family is going to make it through this. Now, here comes the worst part. The jet was purchased by Beck's radio company, Mercury Radio Arts. That same year in 2015, from right-wing billionaire Richard Mellonscape for a million dollars. The year he's doing layoffs, presumably, I mean, I don't know if he has a courage to actually do it himself, but presumably people come in his office and says, oh man, we're on tough times. I'm sorry about that, I mean, we got to let you go, hope, you know, you could find another job.

It happens. It happens in the world, right? Sometimes you're on really tight times. We can't afford your salary anymore, $40,000, $50,000, $60,000, whatever is we can't afford it anymore. Then he turns around and lasts. Give me a million dollars to buy the Richard Malascapes private jet. Because his life has to be materially changed for the better. Your life, that's a different story.

But he bought it with the company's money. Look, Oprah wants to have a jet, LeBron James wants to have a jet, Bill Gates wants to have a jet fly around the world and they pay for it. I don't begrudge that, man, a lot of people are private jets. A rush Limbaugh has a private jet. I never talked about Rush Limbaugh's private jet. But you're going to use company money and a million bucks so you don't have to fly first class. So you don't have to fly first class. So you get a private jet.

Meanwhile, you're doing rounds of layoffs. Gee, I wonder what his priorities are. I can't quite tell. So, could it be that his crazy spending is what led to some of the blazes troubles? Hmm. Look, finally, let me say this. Glenn Beck is insane. I think he's clinical.

We've talked about this before. He once declared that he was now saying that he had mental issues in the past, but he's now saying why? Because he said he strapped himself to a gyroscope and went, round and around like Sandra Bullock and gravity. And he said, that cured him. I got news for you. It didn't. That's not a thing that doesn't cure any kind of mental disease.

That's what his quack doctor told him. And that's what he believed. So that's three guys on the right that I think are clinical. Glenn Beck for certain. Alex Jones for certain. And I would argue Donald Trump. So why do right-wingers? love insane leaders.

There is a real reason. You know why? Because conservatives are authoritarian by nature. They want to follow a strong leader. Who are strong leaders? Insane people. You know why? They're resolute.

I know what I'm doing. The gyroscope cured me. The fonts are gay. And your human gorilla pig hyvers, I'm positive of it. I'm positive of it. Right? Donald Trump. I'm the only one who can save you.

All of these things are coming. Me, me, me, me. They are absolutely certain. Why? Because they're not smart. Smart people reflect. And they think, hey, that could be right. That could be wrong. Let's test it out. What are our different options? Insane people think they have the whole world figured out. And when in reality, they don't know anything. But they sound strong, confident, and resolute. Exactly what conservatives follow. It is so sad. And likely in a couple of years, we will at least two out of three of those cases have literal clinical reports in, that's my best guess, of them saying, yeah, no, they had mental issues. They had legitimate, significant mental

issues. Beck said he already had him in the past, but the gyroscope cured him. No one in the right mind actually believes that. Does anyone think Alex Jones is saying? And when you find out any rational person, when you find out the guy that you've been following your whole life and thought was awesome was actually insane the whole time. Oh, that's going to leave a mark. Well, look forward to that. Okay. Now, let me give you some good news, although I would argue that was good news. I'm a bad man. Okay. When the Justice Democrats started, I'm a I remember. I was there. We were told that we would be lucky to have one Justice Democrat in Congress after the next set of elections in 2018. So we now have three. We started with 52 candidates,

two of them were incumbents. I am super happy to announce today, the third incumbent sitting member of Congress that has joined the Justice Democrats. That's Pramila Jayapal. She's from the state of Washington. She is one of the most progressive Congress people in the country. It is a great honor to have her as part of the Just Democrats. So why were people skeptical and why are people joining now? I'm going to give you some quotes from her and some of her supporters in a second. Well, people are skeptical because of two things. They said, one, the platform is so progressive. Go to JustDemocrats.com. Check out the platform. They're like, can people really sign onto that? But in the case of somebody like Congresswoman Jayapal, she's that progressive.

That's not an issue at all. But a corollary to that was, look, a lot of these folks are going to primary people that are incumbent Democrats. But, and so they thought not a lot of Congresspeople will have the courage to say, yeah, it's okay to primary incumbents. But they were wrong. Rokana, Raul Garhaava, and now Congresswoman Jayapal all have the courage to do that. to say it's important to fight not just for Democrats, but for progressives, and not just for political reasons, but for policy. The second reason people were skeptical was because we said that we would not allow anybody

who would take corporate PAC money. And they thought, well, I mean, sitting members of Congress, they can't not take corporate pack money. It turns out they can. So now as we get more and more just Democrats that are in the House, and there are more and more candidates, guess what's happening? Go back to our old videos. It's exactly what I told you what happened. Now people are saying, well, I mean, come on, of course. I mean, no corporate PAC. Now even Jill O'Brien Booker is doing it. Were they doing it before we started? I don't

remember that. We were told it was impossible. So now there are a great number of people saying no corporate PAC money. And now we have three already in the caucus. And there are a lot more on the way. Already the primaries have started. There were some losses. Of course, that's normal. And there was a lot of victories. Five out of seven just Democrats won or got into the runoff in Texas primaries. Five out of seven. One of them who lost, turned around and recruited the candidate who beat him. And that was Mighty Mary Wilson who won that race. She became a Justice Democrat. And the unity continues. This is real unity around progressive priorities. I am super proud of that. You know what Justice Democrats stands for?

So, yes, definitely economic justice and social justice. Yes, we believe that everybody should be treated equal, not equality of results, but equality of opportunity, okay? And economic justice for the whole country, your wages are stagnating. The system has been rigged against you, but not by the powerless, but by the powerful. But the third reason it's called Justice Democrats is because we want representatives to represent just us. Not your donors, just us. So I love that the congresswoman is joined here. I'm not alone. First, just sitting just Democrat was representative Rokana. He came out with a statement today

saying, we need to talk about a relatively new show called Un-F-The Republic or UNFTR. As a young Turks fan, you already know that the government, the media, and corporations are constantly peddling lies that serve the interests of the rich and powerful. But now there's a podcast dedicated to unraveling those lies, debunking the conventional wisdom. In each episode of Un-B-The-Republic or UNFTR, the host delves into a different historical episode or topic that's generally misunderstood or purposely obfuscated by the so-called powers that be, featuring in-depth research, razor-sharp commentary, and just the right

amount of vulgarity, the UNFTR podcast takes a sledgehammer to what you thought you knew about some of the nation's most sacred historical cows. But don't just take my word for it. The New York Times described UNFTR as consistently compelling and educational, aiming to challenge conventional and upend the historical narratives that were taught in school. For as the great philosopher Yoda once put it, you must unlearn what you have learned. And that's true whether you're in Jedi training or you're uprooting and exposing all the propaganda and disinformation you've been fed over the course of your lifetime. So search for UNFDR in your podcast app today and get ready to get informed, angered, and entertained all at the same time.

Pramila Jayapal is one of the most visionary progressives in the House of Representatives. She has been the most effective freshman on the social and civil rights issues of our time. It is an absolute honor to have her as a Justice Democrat. Congresswoman Jayapal says about joining the just Democrats. I'm proud to stand with the Justice Democrats and hundreds of thousands of their supports, supporters who believe in a simple idea to Democrats can't just be an opposition party. We must be a proposition party. I love that quote.

That's exactly right. It's not just a matter of resistance. These are our priorities and we are going to fight for them. Finally, she said this election year is critical as we fight to take back the House by running progressive candidates in every corner of our country who believe in our vision. Exactly right. And look, if you're going to find out more about the candidates, find out more about the platform that they're running on, go to JusticeDemocrats.com. There are dozens of candidates now. And right now, a lot of them are winning.

Brett Welder is winning in Kansas, beating the incumbent Republican there, according to the polls, by seven points. Doug up Applegate is winning. There are so many others that I've interviewed at rebel headquarters. You can check out all those interviews at YouTube.com slash t-y-t Politics. We'll have all the links down below. And I just want you guys to understand something. This movement is not about one person. It's about an idea that you could run uncorrupted candidates, and they would be free

to actually fight for you. And that's what's happening right now on the ground. And we've already got a caucus, and we're going to add a lot to it in 2018. But you've got to be part of that change. Because if you don't back these candidates, they're not taking corporate pack money. They can't win without your support, whether you volunteer or you donate. Go look them up, see if there are any in your area. Go to justicemocrats.com.

And then get in the fight. Get in the fight. So right now I'm super happy that Congresswoman Jayapal is in the fight. She's a Justice Democrat. And now there are three. and a lot more on the way. All right. We've got to take a quick break here when we come back.

Sean Hannity. Sean, I'm coming for you. You're right in the middle of this podcast. We've got another great segment coming up for you. If you'd like the full show, which is actually five segments, go to t-y-tnetwork.com slash join. You become a member. You support the show.

You support independent media. And you get the whole two-hour show ad-free every day. Let's go do it now. Back on a young church, Jank and Anna with you guys. Peter Hamby writes in on YouTube super chat. Is Sean Hannity going through a Carly, Ray Jepsen, yep? He wants to call me maybe.

I noticed that too. I wanted to point out he was saying, it sounded like they were saying call me maybe. Artificial morphist man writes in on YouTube super chat. Huge race for governor of Minnesota. please report on Rebecca Otto and Tim Paul Lentie, so we won't get Paul Lentie. Well, make that suggestion at RebelHQ at TYT Network.com. We take those suggestions super seriously.

If you can hook us up with the campaign, we have a candidate, really interesting candidate for governor of Massachusetts that's on Rebel Whitequarters tonight. So check that out. And then later, the members will get to see live my interview with Amanda Marcotte. Oh, wow. Is that tonight? That's tonight. Oh, I might stick around for that. Yeah, yeah.

I might stick around for that. By the way, the name Pawlenty always makes me hungry, because it sounds like Burlenta. But just that's a side note. Yes. Anyway. Okay, your mama writes in on Twitter. Everyone knows investigators and whistleblowers in Russia are notoriously bad with balance and gravity. I am sock writes, since Stormy Daniels was threatened by Willem Defoe.

Yes, some people thought he looked like Tom Brady and some people thought he looked like Willem Defoe. Dustin Sherlock says today's the first TYT I've been able to watch for weeks. I feel like I just came back from the restroom at a movie. That's an interesting analogy. Like, he missed it. Like, he's got to rush back. So, okay, that's how I'm taking it.

Wonderful. And finally, Bart, oh, that's our Bart. Bart Kyle writes, and if Glenn Beck wants to get his private jet, back, all he would need to do is to become a televangelist. Problem solved. And he does have a lot of those religious tendencies and delusions of grandeur. So look for that next. That's not even that bad in prediction. All right. And by the way, if you want to become a member, check out the man of Marcotte interview as God knows what will happen. She was very opposed to Bernie Sanders. I don't know if you know this. I am for Bernie Sanders. So God knows what will happen. Check that out live.

network.com slash join to become a member. All right, what's next, Anna? Before we get started with the stories I have prepared today, I wanted to issue a quick correction on a story that we did yesterday. We reported on a story involving teachers who are protesting or were protesting in the state of Kansas. And I inaccurately said that they were protesting for raises, which is not the case. They are specifically protesting in order to get the pension that was promised to them in their original contracts. Apparently, the state was attempting to, or is attempting to, shortchange them on their pensions, and they're not having it.

So it is my mistake. They are not asking for raises, but I believe that if they were asking for raises, they deserve them. But that is not the case. Look, I mean, that's a sad state of affairs that we have, because people are trying to frame it as them being greedy. So they're fighting back saying, we're not even asking for a raise. But there's nothing wrong with asking for a race, especially when in so many of these states you haven't gone out of for so long and teachers are so undervalued. But I made the same mistake, so let me just say that they make a great, great point

that the pension is already in the contract. Right. So that shouldn't even be an open question. That was part of the contract you signed, and it wasn't a lucrative contract. And when we did the bank bailouts, they said, well, I mean, you got to give them a golden parachute. These executives who bankrupted the company, what are you going to do, take away their multi-million dollar bonus? Yes.

Yes, that's what we should have done, because they bankrupted the place. The teachers in Kentucky didn't bankrupt the place, they did a wonderful job. And they're not asking for anything new. They're asking that you keep your promises. And I thought that Republicans were the party of personal responsibility. and keeping their word. Yeah, right. And by the way, a lot of the teachers, it's Kentucky.

A lot of teachers are Republican. They're just saying to Matt Bev and the governor, for God's sake, give us what you said we were going to get, and it ain't that much. Exactly. So I want to thank the teachers in Kansas who reached out to us. Kentucky. I'm sorry. Kentucky, I apologize.

The teachers in Kentucky who did reach out to us and told us what the reality was that, you know, we didn't, we didn't intentionally miss report. We made a mistake. So, all right, with that said, let's move on to some other stuff that's going on in the news. Police officials in Sacramento, California have released new footage involving the shooting and the death of Stefan Clark. He was the unarmed young black man who was shot and killed because police had mistook him for an individual who was burglarizing cars. we had seen surveillance of this prior to what the police had released, but currently we have 23 in-car camera videos and 28 body camera videos. This is all an attempt to be as transparent as possible

with the community. Obviously, we can't show you all those videos, but we did find some of the more relevant components. Now, one of the things that the police officials are investigating is whether or not the cops waited too long to issue CPR after shooting Stefan Clark. They waited about five minutes. According to reports, officers waited about five minutes before attempting life-saving CPR. They also had handcuffed him prior to doing CPR. Now, according to reports, they approached him as soon as was safely practical. By the way, this is from a police training expert.

From what I am seeing and hearing, the officers, in my opinion, exercised good tactical decision making. I read you that quote because, again, it comes from a police training expert and gives you a sense of how these police are trained. Now, with that said, I want to show you a series of videos. Let's take a look at the first one. This essentially shows them waiting after shooting and killing Stefan Clark. Hey, can you hear us? Police Department can you hear us? We need to know if you're okay.

We need to get you medics, but we can't go over and get you help unless we know you're, you don't have any weapon. Hey, you guys, are you good right here? I'm good here. Yeah. All right, you guys, I'm going to be direct addresses for this place.

Okay. Okay. Sir, can you move? Can you hear us? And that's it. He didn't move after that. Okay. Okay.

So this is exactly what we've been telling you guys. The training is all wrong. So that so-called training expert says they did it perfectly. That's doing it well. That's doing it well. Sir, can you move? No, because you shot him. It's obvious that he's unconscious.

So I grant you that there is a small percentage chance that he's faking it. What's a percentage chance that he's faking it? 1%, maximum 5%, you saw the video, right? What is the percentage chance that you could save his life if you responded immediately when he appears to be unconscious and bleeding out? If you didn't wait the five minutes, as he's bleeding out, the chance of saving his life could be fairly high. Of course, it's impossible to know in that specific case. But this happens all across the country.

Could we save 25% of those people's lives, 50% of their lives? But what the cops are taught is your life is worth so much more than the guy you shot. The guy's life that you shot is not at all that important. I mean, God forbid, though, he should, instead of being unconscious and bleeding to death as it appears, maybe it's a giant bear trap. So don't take 1% a 1% chance. Let him just die. So I don't know why anybody's surprised.

We've seen it in video after video after video. The cops are taught to let us die. So that's the training. And then afterwards of training expert says, bravo! Way to let him die right there in the street. And remember. Actually, to be more accurate, sorry, in his own backyard. It was his own backyard.

He was living with his grandmother. And again, he was not the person burglarizing anyone's car. He also did not have a gun. He had a cell phone, and cops assumed that that was a gun. And by the way, you should watch the original video where we show you how the shooting unfolded because there were very few questions asked. He had run away from the cops. They approached him, and he ran into the backyard.

And cops, you know, they didn't fire their weapon one time. There wasn't one or two bullets involved. There were dozens of bullets involved. And the reason why I'm pointing that out to you is because any reasonable human being would know after firing your weapon dozens of times, it's likely that he was shot and it's likely that he is dead, right? You don't need to wait five minutes to approach him and see if there's any possibility you could save his life. It drives me crazy that we have conversations about whether he did a burglar or not do a burglary. And oftentimes, well, at some point he might, once he got in school detention for smoking pot, after you executed him. You're not supposed to execute people who did burglaries, even if he had done it.

And have you ever been in your backyard with a cell phone? My guess is, yes, I've been in my backyard many times with a cell phone. Well, if cops come in and you happen to be black, and if, boy, God help you if you're in a poor area, or if you're black in a rich area and in your backyard with a cell phone, That apparently is caused to not only shoot you, but to make sure that they don't save your life. Can you move? No, he can't move because you just shot him. Okay, so we have a few more videos that I want to show you.

Let's take a look at the next video. It features an officer mentioning that he could be faking it. Take a look. He hasn't moved at all. He doesn't move at all. Okay, let's have the next unit get.

That right there is the essence of what we teach cops these days. Make sure that you're a coward. And just in case, just, just, just, just, just in case he might have a nail file on him or something, make sure that he dies. And then when you get there and he's bled out for five minutes because you won't do CPR on him,

handcuff him first. Just in case you get a hang nail or something. Just in case a cop would ever be in slid. much danger. Let him die, let him die, let him die, let him die. That's what we train him, and then we tell him Bravo afterwards. Then we get surprised, hey, why do we have a problem in America? Because the citizens are not enjoying getting murdered. We're not enjoying it. And when we say Black Lives Matter, they go, ah, no, blue lives matter. You already taught him that. You already taught him that the only thing that matters was cops' lives. So, I'm not at all surprised by this.

And it's going to happen in your neck of the woods, too. So I wanted to also bring up another component of the story that should concern people. Because although the cops were wearing body cameras, in multiple or throughout these videos, they kept muting the cameras. So you couldn't hear any audio. So the reason why I bring that up is because why, if you are doing everything right and you're following protocol and you have no reason to hide anything, no reason to be guilty, Why do you keep muting your mic?

So the Los Angeles Times report, I'm sorry, Huffington Post reports that both sets of video show officers muting their body cameras. The police department issued new guidelines earlier this month following the first video release, allowing officers to mute body cameras only if they're talking to a doctor, nurse, or paramedic, or when working with sexual assault or rape. So they're also required to explain on the recording why they're about to mute or deactivate the camera. And so obviously none of those specific cases applied when it came to this shooting, this new policy occurred after this shooting because I'm guessing the police department realized, well, they're muting their cameras. This is a problem. People are going to be suspicious about that. Look, we're dehumanizing the cops too. So a normal human being rushes in to save that guy. But we train them to not have normal human reaction. We train them, but that's not a person there.

Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. God forbid that anything should happen to you. That guy's life is not at all important. So let him die. Let him bleed. Let him bleed. Let him bleed.

And then go handcuff him to add insult the injury and keep yelling. Hey, are you okay? Are you okay? Look, I'm not saying that those cops there were particularly cruel or terrible people. I'm not saying that cops are by definition natural cowards. of course not. They're human beings. We train it into them. We train fear into them. We train them to be cowards and we train them to not have human reactions. We train them to not care about our lives. That is deeply concerning. There are cops everywhere. They're supposed to protect us.

Instead, they have been taught to not give a damn about our lives. I've said it before. It's a society thing, right? Sorry, Hannah. Cops are members of society. Then they go to work and put on the bulletproof vest and the hat and the gun and all the equipment and then they're cops. So our whole society, we did those studies, I feel like this is deja vu.

We did the studies about how teachers punish a kid in second grade. If it's a black kid, they think that they see them as like a 13-year-old or something like that. So then when cops who are just other parts of society shoot people, they go, well, he must be pretending because, you know, he's black. He's got these superpowers. They're stronger than the normal human being.

So if I shoot him 12 times, he's just not dead yet because they're superpowers. They're these creatures that just, they're so strongly scare me every day I walk. The lady in Starbucks that called cops on the guys that are sitting there waiting for a friend. She's a lady in Starbucks. If she became a cop, she'd be another lady that used to work at Starbucks. They became a cop that was given a gun to continue with the same thought process. They must be a threat because they're sitting here. So it's a problem in society and becoming a cop.

you this extra authority to then apply lethal force to the situation that you were already afraid of before you ever became a cop. Of course, I'm generalizing for all cops, but you know that already. I shouldn't have to keep saying that. Well, first of all, studies bear out that that is the reaction of most people in America, let alone cops. But specifically, there was a study that we reported on where they show cops, pictures of, in what appear to be like real life situations, they're doing it obviously a model, and they

shoot black guys quicker and more often than they shoot white people. So they were simulating certain scenarios and then the cops would react. Yeah, if they saw what appeared to be a black guy, they shoot them more and they shoot them quicker. I think something that we as a country underestimate is how much we've allowed the portrayals of certain groups of people to really seep into our heads. And it's, for a lot of us, it's subconscious, right? And so when we talk about bias, that's what we're talking about.

It's not even necessarily that, oh, everyone is, they have bad intent, everyone's racist. That's not the case. I think that mass media has portrayed people in certain ways for so long that it's kind of ingrained in the way that we think of different groups of people. So, for instance, the whole thing that happened at Starbucks last week with the two black men who had 911 called on them simply because they were waiting at a Starbucks. You know, I wrote about that on social media. and I talked about it in my own context, how I've never been harassed in that way.

And multiple people were like, it has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with the fact that you're a pretty and attractive woman. And so people are always going to treat you differently. Okay, but no, that's not true because not everyone working at Starbucks is a straight man. You know, there are all sorts of people that work at Starbucks and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So yes, attractive people do get some somebody. advantages, but there is a problem with the way we perceive people based on their physical appearance, on their race. I am not portrayed as a threat ever in the media, whereas black

people are time and time again. And I think that that unfortunately leads to the certain biases that we have. That's all I really want to say. I'm going to say one last quick thing here. For decades, one of the culprits that we don't talk about nearly enough, local news, have chosen to feature one minority after another after another. And it's why, it drove ratings because people were afraid of the, if they're, even if there were more crimes that involved white suspects, they wouldn't show it on local news as much. Why? Because, oh, that looks like that's your neighbor Bob or your cousin Susie. So that doesn't drive enough fear and it doesn't drive enough ratings.

But they see a minority, especially if they were in a non-minority neighbor, That would lead the news every time. And so what happened? They brainwashed the country. So there was already enormous brainwashing from hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow, civil rights here, all that stuff. And then local news came in and poisoned our culture. Well, black man, black man, black man, black man, danger, danger, danger.

And people ate that up and they got some temporary good ratings out of it. I despise local news. It's just nothing but a pure heap of trash. And all they do is sensationalize crap, and they poison our culture while that it. So I disagree with you a little bit. Yes, there's definitely a lot of what you just mentioned going on, but there's also a lot of important reporting happening on a local level. So I don't want to- Almost never on television. Well, lately, that's definitely the case. But anyway, okay.

There's some great local print reporters. Good luck trying to find a good investigative story on television. Okay, we got to take a break, guys. Bernie Sanders has a new bill. Unsurprisingly, it actually stands up for the average American. It actually goes to the core of the problem. Unsurprisingly, he has no Democratic co-sponsors. Thanks for watching.
