00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,000
your support. This from the Washington Examiner. Let's talk a

10
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:37,479
little bit about political violence. I'm sure you have heard

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,159
over the last week and a half, two weeks or so,

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,280
since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we've been getting a

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,240
lot of the whataboutisms from the media and the Democrats.

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,880
But I repeat myself, and they've been waving around various

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,200
reports and studies that show right wing violence is way

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,520
more prevalent than left wing violence.

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:01,799
Speaker 2: Right.

18
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,159
Speaker 1: So, now I have compiled, let's say, here, one, two, three,

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:19,239
or five reports on why those studies are crap, because

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,359
they are. If you actually go into the methodology and

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,959
you look at the way the studies were compiled, how

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,920
the data was used, you realize very quickly that they

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,799
were juiced. The stats are juiced. So, for example, Tim

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Krney at the Washington Examiner, he says, it turns out

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,439
that if you count the J six riots but not

26
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,359
the Black Lives Matter riots, then the right is infinitely

27
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,400
more violent than the left. That's a pretty good way,

28
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,280
right of counting stats. If you're looking to pad right

29
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:00,879
wing violence, you count every arrest connect did to J six,

30
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:05,000
and you ignore completely the entire summer of fiery but

31
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:10,159
mostly peaceful rioting and looting, because that was for social

32
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:17,280
justice that wasn't really tied to the left. Right, after

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,039
Charlie Kirk was murdered, liberals rushed to deny that left

34
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,319
wing political violence is a problem and claim that the

35
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:26,280
real problem is right wing domestic terrorism. At their disposal,

36
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,039
Democrats in Congress and the media had multiple studies supposedly

37
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,039
proving that right wingers are responsible for many times more

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,000
political killings, attacks, and hate incidents then left wingers as

39
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:43,439
well as Islamists combined. Actually, if you combine the lefties

40
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,800
and the Islamists, you put them together, it's still not

41
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,479
as much. Okay, So there are four studies that they've

42
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,080
been relying on. They purport to count and compare extremist

43
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,759
or political violence by the different sides. We'll take a

44
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,479
look at them. The first problem that you have to

45
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,800
overcome is what actually counts as extremist violence and political violence.

46
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,960
That's a judgment call in a lot of these cases, right,

47
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,400
because who's really motivated by ideology over madness? For example,

48
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,159
out over insanity. Some calls are pretty easy, to be sure,

49
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,759
but on the tough calls, the researchers aired on the

50
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:32,080
side that would support their ideological prior suppositions. So, for example,

51
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,000
you've got the most egregious one is the Prosecution Project

52
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,199
that is the brainchild of University of Cincinnati Assistant Professor

53
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:47,400
Michael Lodenthal. Loadenthal is a left wing academic. One of

54
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,479
his papers is titled Operations Splashback Queering Animal Liberation through

55
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,960
the Contributions of neo insurrectionist queers. That's one of his papers.

56
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:07,080
He sees his job as inculcating a quote decolonial framework

57
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:12,479
into his students thinking Queering the Nation is another way

58
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,519
he describes his life's work. Oh, also, he is explicitly

59
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,319
pro violence. His central goal is to quote advance the

60
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:26,000
argument that violence as a response to colonialism is not

61
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,360
just expected, but it is just that's the prosecution project.

62
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,839
I'm going to get into the data too. Then there's

63
00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:40,040
the Anti Defamation League the ADL, run by Jonathan Greenblatt,

64
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:44,879
a former political appointee of Barack Obama. Under his leadership,

65
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,800
the ADL has ventured far away from its purported aim

66
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,279
of fighting anti Semitism and has become more purely partisan

67
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,600
and ideological. For example, they petition the courts to force

68
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:58,600
the Little Sisters of the Poor, which is a bunch

69
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:03,959
of Catholic nuns, to violate the consciences their conscience and

70
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:10,439
provide contraception coverage to their employees. And then there was

71
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:17,639
the Cato study done by a libertarian to be sure,

72
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,720
but on immigration stuff his main concern, and that's his

73
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,959
main concern, he says. And the guy's name is Naaratseh

74
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,839
no Rasteh. Anyway, he describes himself as a globalist and elitist.

75
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,279
He describes himself as that, and he often ends up

76
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,120
on the Democrat side of things in the era of

77
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,240
Trump because of the immigration stance that Trump has. So

78
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,040
if you go through let's take the ADL first, you

79
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:48,079
go through their methodology. They don't claim to be tracking

80
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,720
political murders, but murders by people associated with a variety

81
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:59,319
of domestic extremist movements. Okay, now that may sound like

82
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,040
a thin distinction, but it actually matters a lot. A

83
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,199
political murder, for example, would be the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

84
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:16,680
Murders by people associated with a variety of domestic extremist movements, well,

85
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,120
that's a larger category. So for example, if a KKK

86
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,839
member murders his wife, that is a murder by a

87
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:29,480
person associated with a domestic extremist movement, and that gets

88
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:34,399
counted in the column for the right wingers. It turns

89
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:38,120
out this sort of a political murder by extremist associated

90
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,439
people is a massive portion of the ADL study. Any

91
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,680
kind of a crime committed by anybody with clan tattoos,

92
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,079
they get lumped in with the right, even though it

93
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,680
could be a domestic call. It has nothing to do

94
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:01,360
with political ideology. The Washington Post columnist Megan mccardal deconstructed

95
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,120
the ADL study and suggested that ADL overrepresented white supremacist killings.

96
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:12,279
Violent criminals in prison have incentives to join gangs, which

97
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:15,360
are usually if the TV shows and movies are any

98
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,000
indication right. They're usually along racial lines. Those who join

99
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:23,000
the white gangs, they get the tattoos, then they leave prison,

100
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:26,040
and then any violent crime they commit afterwards counts as

101
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,360
right wing violence. ADL includes plenty of non ideological yet

102
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:36,639
extremist associated killings. They say that extremists may commit a murder,

103
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,079
the motive for which is never revealed. We include all

104
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800
these types of killings in this report, So even when

105
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:45,519
they don't know the motive, they still throw it into

106
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,639
the right wing category. Half of the killings that they

107
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:53,120
tracked over the last decade are non ideological and those

108
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,600
are disproportionately classified as right wing killings. And there's more.

109
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,560
It consistently tosses ambiguous cases when they don't have any information,

110
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,920
they throw them in with the right wingers too. And

111
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:09,800
then there's the stuff that they don't include it all. Like,

112
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:15,560
for example, Daryl Brooks, black guy, budding rapper, drove a

113
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,160
car into a Christmas parade in Walkshaw, Wisconsin, killing six

114
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:23,240
people and injuring dozens. He was a supporter of BLM.

115
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,759
Facebook profile had a whole bunch of racisty stuff all

116
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,040
over it. Where did this BLM supporter murdering white people

117
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,759
show up in their study. It did not. It is

118
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,039
simply never mentioned. Or how about the twenty eight year

119
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,519
old woman who identified as a man who went into

120
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,919
the Christian school and killed six kids? Not in the

121
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,840
report either, not left wing violence. You see, right, this

122
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,759
is the pattern. This is replicated in all of these studies,

123
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:56,720
the same sort of methodological corruption. There's another study csis

124
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,960
they excluded violence at protests, but they did make an

125
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,440
exception for that rule and included the Charlottesville protests. Right.

126
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:12,960
Violence at BLM ignored, violence at Proud Boy protests counted. Likewise,

127
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,840
riots excluded except for one January sixth. See, you only

128
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:23,440
get this if you dive into the data, if you

129
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,399
go and look at their source material and their methodology.

130
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,039
And when you start looking at that stuff, you realize

131
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:33,159
very quickly that they've got a massive thumb on the

132
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:33,799
scale here.

133
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: You know.

134
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: Stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things,

135
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,639
to understand experiences. Stories connect us to the people of

136
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,000
our past while transcending generations. They help us process the

137
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,480
meaning of life and art. Stories are told through images

153
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,960
the stats. Breaking down these studies claiming most political violence's

154
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,679
right wing brought you Tim Carney's breakdown from the Washington Examiner.

155
00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:50,840
Here's David Harsani at The New York Post talking about

156
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,399
the ADL's most recent murder and Extremism in the US survey.

157
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,919
They claim there were thirteen murders motivated by extremism in

158
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,399
the country last year. Eleven of them. They say eleven

159
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,480
to thirteen committed by right wingers. Okay, if you actually

160
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,159
look at the incidents that they cite as being committed

161
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:17,960
by white supremacists or far right anti government extremists, virtually

162
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,720
none of those incidents actually have any political motivation. The

163
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:26,159
list includes murders that occurred during attempted prison escapes that's

164
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:30,879
not a political motivation, a sex crime, a robbery, a

165
00:11:30,919 --> 00:11:34,480
family squabble. None of those have anything to do with

166
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,480
furthering the tenets of white supremacy, or actually any cause.

167
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:41,240
In one of these supposedly right wing extremist incidents, the

168
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,679
police have yet to find a motive at all for

169
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:47,919
the homicide. The only characteristic that qualifies all of these

170
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,480
acts as right wing is the perpetrators being identified as

171
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,559
possible white supremacists, which is usually because they've got tattoos.

172
00:11:56,919 --> 00:11:59,279
And I already went over that with the prison connection.

173
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600
One of the eleven murders classified as right wing on

174
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,559
the list. Sorry, one of the eleven murders that was

175
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,240
classified as right wing on the list was the perpetrator

176
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:18,039
clearly inspired by ideology. One. On the other hand, the

177
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:24,440
assassination of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare that

178
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:29,279
was explicitly ideological in nature. The shooter wrote an anti

179
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,960
capitalist manifesto, So you would think, well, that would be

180
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,879
equal then one for one. Right, if we're taking a

181
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,279
body count here, then that seems like that would be

182
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:40,120
a one for one comparison.

183
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

184
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,279
Speaker 1: No, the ADL did not characterize the murder of Brian

185
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,720
Thompson as a left wing attack. It did not include

186
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,960
it in its list of extremist murders at all, didn't

187
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,000
even make the list. The most famous example is the

188
00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:59,919
Global Terrorism Database, which is widely used by the researchers

189
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,639
who compile these reports, which counted the Las Vegas mass

190
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,120
shooter who murdered fifty nine people back in twenty seventeen.

191
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:11,600
We still don't know anything about that guy or why

192
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:15,559
he did it, but he's labeled as an anti government extremist.

193
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,840
In truth, we don't know what his motivations are, unless,

194
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:22,960
of course, the Global Terrorism Database somehow got some inside

195
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:28,120
information from the FBI. Of the thirty two other incidents

196
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,440
that the organization labeled as right wing terrorism that year,

197
00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:37,360
twelve were merely suspected of being on the right because

198
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:42,600
they were white, even if the ADL's list is more accurate.

199
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,600
It is worth noting that a gang member with a

200
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:51,000
swastika tattoo might be a right winger and often violent,

201
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:55,039
but he is, despite the contentions of the left, ideologically

202
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:05,200
miles away from popular conservatism. Right white supremacists are not conservatives.

203
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,000
They're not the leftist who assassinated Charlie Kirk Harbard ideas

204
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,639
that were not alien to the average progressive. No honest

205
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,039
person contends that right wing extremists don't exist, or that

206
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:21,960
all progressives are accessories to violence. But it's plainly obvious

207
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,960
that groups like the ADL have concocted misleading reports to

208
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:28,679
smear the right and hide their own sides increasing radicalism.

209
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,919
Next the federalist Beth Brelgi. She talks a little bit

210
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:39,879
about the prosecution project here. And remember the guy Michael Lodenthal,

211
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:45,960
openly anarchist, anti affiliated researcher at the University of Cincinnati, who,

212
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,679
by his own admission, is a far less far left,

213
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,679
violent extremist. He admits this, So he's the researcher, He's

214
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,720
the one that compiled the study. Do you think he

215
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,720
may have a bit of a bias when creating the

216
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:03,360
I idea that there is this massive number of right

217
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:10,240
wing violence versus left wing violence. Let's see here. The

218
00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:15,120
Prosecution Project lists January twenty twenty four charges against John

219
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,480
Reardan of Massachusetts, who made anti Semitic threats against synagogues

220
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:24,519
and the Israeli Consulate. It notes, influenced by events in Gaza.

221
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,240
He also said, you do realize that by supporting genocide,

222
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,879
that means it's okay for people to commit genocide against you.

223
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:36,039
That's what the That's what the person said. The DOJ

224
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,399
never identified his political affiliation, but the Prosecution Project's own

225
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,279
accounts seemed to indicate he was a pro Palestine fanatic,

226
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,440
which is not a cause of the right wingers, but

227
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,399
they put him in the right wing camp. The group

228
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,600
also lists twenty twenty two Freedom of Access to Clinic

229
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:05,559
Entrances Act charges against mean Edmi Schavanis. This was abortion

230
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:11,039
clinic protester, but she was found not guilty on that

231
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,960
one charge, but they put her in the list anyway.

232
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,679
They included the posting of racist stickers as if that's

233
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:23,159
comparable to terrorism or violence. Comb through the data on

234
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,600
their website and you soon conclude it's worthless to everyone

235
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:32,840
except a leftist propagandist. I mentioned the cat excuse me,

236
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:38,759
the Cato Institute. They're study by Alex noratsa debunked last

237
00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:42,559
week by Amber Duke at The Daily Caller. He claimed

238
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,200
politically motivated violence is rare in the US, but that

239
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,559
when it happens, right wingers are more often to blame

240
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,000
than the left. If here's a big if. If you

241
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:57,360
exclude nine to eleven, which why would you do that? Oh?

242
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:02,720
Also you exclude injury, property damage, and people who were

243
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:07,759
not killed. So his criteria excludes the two assassination attempts

244
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:13,039
on Donald Trump, for example. He a Duke Also Amber

245
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,920
Duke at The Daily Caller also found that some of

246
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,519
the crimes that he blamed on the right were at

247
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:26,559
best questionable and at worst just flat out wrong. I

248
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,640

counting of right wing violence reminds me of the counting

281
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,480
of COVID deaths. If somebody died of cancer but had

282
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,720
COVID cause of death listed as COVID. Now that's a

283
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:32,759
fair point, right. It's lies, damn lies and statistics. You

284
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,079
always have to look at the methodology on these things.

285
00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:41,160
This story from The Washington Examiner by Mia Kathel or

286
00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:46,319
Kethel cathl Anyway, Cato Institute. According to the data set,

287
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:50,000
right aligned actors are responsible for six times the total

288
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:52,759
number of deaths compared to the perps on the political left.

289
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:55,720
The figures, however, leave out thousands of fatalities from nine

290
00:19:55,759 --> 00:20:00,960
to eleven, treating the mass casualties as an outlier, because

291
00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:07,079
otherwise they would quote dominate the data and obscure other trends.

292
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,440
There's too many deaths linked to the Islamists, and so

293
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,480
when doing this survey or study on ideological inspired violence,

294
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,039
we have to take that out because we don't need

295
00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:24,960
that obscuring the real picture. But another large scale terrorist

296
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:29,880
attack does get counted by CATO. Do you know which one?

297
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,359
It was Oklahoma City bombing nineteen ninety five, one hundred

298
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,720
and sixty eight people murdered by a white supremacist. So

299
00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:42,000
if you're going to you know, not factor in nine

300
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:46,599
to eleven, if you like, that's going to skew the

301
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,880
numbers eighty So if you if you factor it in,

302
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,839
eighty seven percent would account that would be eighty seven

303
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,799
percent of the politically motivated violence would be Islamist eighty

304
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:08,799
seven percent. But you take it out, and now Islamism's

305
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,480
tally goes to just twenty three percent. And here's the

306
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:17,720
other impact is that it then skews the numbers of

307
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:20,960
right and left because you've taken out this large data set,

308
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:24,799
and so that inflates the radical rights murder record from

309
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:27,240
eleven percent when you take into account nine to eleven,

310
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,960
and then it zooms up to sixty three percent more

311
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:37,559
than Islamists, which is stupid. The research is ideological definitions

312
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:42,559
of what constitutes right or left wing radicalism place involuntary

313
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,039
celibacy in cells. Have you heard this? In cell? It's

314
00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:51,039
online subculture primarily sharing misogynistic views. They put that on

315
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:54,680
the right. Problem is that a twenty twenty two University

316
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:00,359
of Texas pull of in cell identifying participants and asked

317
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,480
about their political orientation. Forty five percent considered themselves to

318
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,680
be on the left, thirty nine percent said right, eighteen

319
00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:14,680
percent said centrist, but in cells get all lumped into

320
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,880
the right. The studies list of killers categorized the Antioch

321
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,640
High School shooter as right wing, but that shooter was

322
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,319
a black seventeen year old identified as in cell expressed

323
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:34,599
anti Semitic, nihilistic, and occult beliefs. The guy who shot

324
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,519
up the two spas in a massage parlor in Atlanta,

325
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,559
which refronts for prostitution. He was ashamed of his sex addiction.

326
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,759
He was not of the right and the data timelines

327
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:51,079
also go back to nineteen seventy five and So what

328
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,839
happens then is that you cut out all of the

329
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,880
far left violence like the Weather Underground and their bombing

330
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,240
of the US Capitol and Set seventy one, the bombing

331
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,039
of the Pentagon in seventy two, and itt Incorporated in

332
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,599
nineteen seventy three. Right, all of that stuff gets chopped out,

333
00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:12,000
big old finger on the scale. So when I was

334
00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:15,240
a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's, and before he died,

335
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:17,200
my mom and my dad took care of him as

336
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,039
he got worse. Forty years ago, there were no treatments

337
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:23,119
and not much support for caregivers and family. But things

338
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,960
are different today because of the work of so many people,

339
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,519
including the Alzheimer's Association of Western Carolina. It's a great

340
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,880
organization with awesome people with huge hearts. I've been a

341
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,880
supporter for twenty five years. This cause means a lot

342
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,200
to me. I participate in the annual Walk to End

343
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,160
Alzheimer's and I'm leading a Charlotte team again this year,

344
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,440
and it's called once again Pete's Pack. You can sign

345
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:47,720

346
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000

dates and locations. We're closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's.

358
00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:24,519
Can you help us get there? Will you walk with me?

359
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:28,640
For a different future, for families, for more time for treatments.

360
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,240
This is why we walk. Final segment of the program

you sir?

365
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,319
Speaker 2: I'm doing great? How are you?

366
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: I am doing great as well? Great? Awesome, great? Hey,

367
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,920
so did you know that Jim Comey's son in law

368
00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:54,920
was on the prosecution team in the Eastern District of Virginia.

369
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,640
Did you know that? I did not until this very moment.

370
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,640
Jerry Dunleavy reports that his son in law was on

371
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:07,039
the prosecution team handling the Cambi indictment. He was in

372
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,079
the courtroom last night when the indictment was returned, just

373
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,160
before he resigned after his father in law was indicted.

374
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, this is tough, isn't it. His

375
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:23,920
sister that's also Wasn't she a high high profile lawyer? Yes,

376
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,160
I mean, look, this is this is a little bit

377
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,400
a little too much of the you know, NEPO stuff

378
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,440
going on here. I mean, does everybody have to work

379
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,720
for the federal government. I don't understand this. I think no.

380
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:39,039
Speaker 1: Well, I think it is. Actually it's in the city

381
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,680
charter in all of the towns around d C. Yes,

382
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:47,319
I think it. In order to buy a home, that's

383
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,799
the pricing structure too, right, they pay everybody in the

384
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,559
federal government a huge amount of money, specially only they

385
00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:56,559
can afford the exorbitant price tags on the homes.

386
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 2: I'd like to bring in Bob Muller to co sign

387
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,039
on my mortgage at this stake, no, he.

388
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: Is no longer. I don't think he is able to

389
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,759
sign anything due to his mental incapacitation. Oh, now, so

390
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,319
you bring up the auto pen.

391
00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I brought up. I brought it up.

392
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: What did you think? Have you? I'm sure you have.

393
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:17,839
You've seen the wall of presidents, the gallery or whatever

394
00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:20,920
that they set up of the photos of all the presidents.

395
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,279
They've hung them in the white or it's actually like

396
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,000
it's one of the porticos or something maybe yeah, Rose

397
00:26:26,039 --> 00:26:29,720
Garden or something. And and the photo that they have

398
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,119
of Joe Biden is an auto pen.

399
00:26:34,279 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I think it's funny. I mean it's

400
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,519
it's obvious. It is funny. It's obvious. And if you

401
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,079
turn the other side of it, because they have, you know,

402
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,119
they have a they have the ability to flip it over.

403
00:26:48,319 --> 00:26:52,079
On the backside of the auto pen is Al Gore

404
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:53,119
as the president.

405
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,279
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, I thought you're gonna I thought you were

406
00:26:58,319 --> 00:26:59,519
gonna say doctor Jill.

407
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:05,799
Speaker 2: No, no, her and her work husband. I don't like

408
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:07,759
the work husband thing and the work wife thing.

409
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:08,039
Speaker 1: I don't.

410
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: I don't like that culture that exists really in the Yeah,

411
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,200
I think it's weird. I really feel like it's a

412
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,319
weird thing to talk about, like, hey, that's my work wife,

413
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,720
Hey that's my work husband.

414
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: So I look at it like this. I've talked with

415
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,319
my wife about this very thing, and I actually support

416
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,160
this notion. So but I mean, obviously it's not an

417
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,839
actual marriage. It is a it's an alliance because here,

418
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,799
and here's the key is that the women will be

419
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:38,519
able to go into spaces that only women are in

420
00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:42,279
and men the same thing. You must be brave and

421
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,200
so so if right, so if like your your work

422
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,960
wife were to go to the restroom, for example, and

423
00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:52,160
all of the ladies are in there and they're talking

424
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,440
about stuff that's work related, that is then intel that

425
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,440
you would be able to get that you otherwise would

426
00:27:58,519 --> 00:27:59,400
not be able to get.

427
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:06,559
Speaker 2: These are all okay, fine, I'll accept the objection.

428
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,559
Speaker 1: That's it, right, But like that's it because yeah, because

429
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:11,839
like you got to have allies, you know, Yeah, particularly

430
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,880
if you're working in a you know, politically charged environment,

431
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,640
you got to have people that you trust and you

432
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,640
can share information with, you know, so.

433
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:21,759
Speaker 2: You know, you know what, though technically speaking, because of

434
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:24,640
all the time you and I spend every week, we

435
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,880
could technically be each other's, uh, we're husbands. We're husbands.

436
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I'm the Pete Booty gig and you would

00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:34,359
