0:50

Richie. Good to be with you. We have

0:52

a lot on the agenda

0:55

today. Breaking down news of

0:57

the day, none other than

0:59

Jackson White, co -founder,

1:01

editor -in -chief, Politiscope,

1:04

TYT Rebel HQ contributor, all

1:06

-star host, politics, and

1:09

paper. Always fascinating to

1:11

have his analysis. Top story

1:13

of the day, we got an update. cops

1:17

killed a man over a traffic violation. They are

1:19

now indicted. Put them up full of ass. Cops

1:25

indicted

1:28

for fatally shooting

1:30

a black man during

1:32

a damn traffic

1:34

stop. Grand jury

1:37

has now indicted

1:39

Steven Randolph Frederick

1:41

Jr. and

1:44

Michael Ryan Walt,

1:48

two Mississippi Capitol

1:50

Police, four

1:52

manslaughter, and

1:54

the steel murky shooting

1:56

death of 25 -year -old

1:59

Jalen Lewis, motorist

2:01

in 2022.

2:05

So officer Stephen

2:07

Randolph Frederick Jr. and

2:11

Michael Ryan Walt

2:13

acted quote willfully. unlawfully,

2:17

and

2:20

feloniously, without

2:23

malice, without authority of

2:25

law, with malice without authority

2:27

of law and not

2:29

necessary self -defense during a

2:31

traffic stop. So the true

2:34

bill was obtained in

2:36

Mississippi today alleges Lewis and

2:38

a 21 -year -old female,

2:40

passenger, were pulled over by

2:42

Mississippi Capitol Police. This

2:45

was in Jackson, Mississippi

2:47

for a traffic stop

2:49

9 p .m. September

2:52

25th, 2022. According to

2:54

the police report, Frederick

2:56

and Ryan Walt

2:58

told investigators that one

3:01

of them shot

3:03

Lewis' self -defense after

3:05

Lewis drove his car

3:08

toward them. Lewis

3:10

was shot in the head and

3:12

died the next day. leaving

3:14

behind a four -year -old daughter,

3:18

two -year -old son. Art

3:22

goes out obviously to this

3:24

family, to the

3:26

children who are fatherless

3:28

now because of

3:30

the criminal actions of

3:32

two individuals who

3:34

were supposed to protect

3:37

that father. Police

3:40

report says No,

3:42

we were in

3:44

fear of our

3:47

lives. It was

3:49

driving toward us. Typically,

3:52

you have police

3:55

reports that will

3:57

fudge details. But

3:59

this detail created an

4:01

absolute get out of

4:03

jail free card if

4:06

they pulled it off,

4:08

but they did not.

4:11

Upon hearing of the indictment, Louis's

4:15

mother can't imagine what she's

4:17

going through. Her

4:19

name is Arkela Lewis, said,

4:22

quote, I

4:24

could jump for joy. She

4:27

has been trying for three

4:29

years to find out why

4:31

her son's car was stopped

4:33

by an unmarked police car

4:35

that night and what led

4:37

to the shooting, quote, he

4:40

was a really good kid. I

4:42

just want to know what happened. where

4:45

the lights on when you pulled

4:47

my baby over. What

4:49

was he doing? She

4:52

said during a press conference

4:54

covered by WAPT News and New

4:56

Hope Missionary Baptist Church. This

4:58

was in 2023, not too long

5:00

after his death. So Ms.

5:02

Lewis later said that the

5:04

woman riding with her son told

5:06

her that an officer walked

5:08

toward them with his gun drawn.

5:11

Quote, my son

5:13

screamed out. It's

5:16

the police. He

5:18

froze. That's when

5:20

the shots were fired. The

5:23

indictment does not

5:25

say which officer

5:28

shot Lewis. Okay,

5:31

that's easy. I know exactly

5:33

who shot, both of them, period.

5:36

And here's why. Take

5:39

off that blue uniform. because

5:42

according to the

5:44

grand jury, they acted

5:46

outside of the

5:49

law, had

5:51

no authority,

5:53

and did not act in

5:56

self -defense. So

5:58

if that's true, why

6:00

do we consider the

6:02

uniform that they were

6:04

unworthy to wear? Because

6:06

it sounds as if,

6:08

They are acting as

6:10

private citizens and not

6:12

agents of law enforcement,

6:14

which means that if

6:16

two individuals engage in

6:19

a felony act and

6:21

one person kills the

6:23

victim, what happens in

6:25

this country 48 states

6:27

long? Both of you

6:29

are charged with the murder, period.

6:33

There's more. According

6:36

to the Mississippi Department

6:38

of Public Safety, Frederick

6:41

was allowed

6:43

to resign March

6:45

2023 shortly

6:47

after crashing his

6:49

own state -owned

6:52

vehicle. He

6:54

was charged with the DUI.

6:57

He was then employed by the Scott

6:59

County Department according to Mississippi Today.

7:02

Scott County Sheriff Mike

7:04

Lee said Frederick

7:06

had been working at his

7:08

department for about a year

7:10

when he was notified of

7:12

the indictment, after which

7:14

he was suspended

7:16

without pay. Quote,

7:19

Steven has been a good

7:21

employee and worked without any

7:23

complaints or incidents. Well, look

7:25

at that. He commits murder

7:27

and all of a sudden

7:29

he's humble as a church

7:31

mouse. We

7:36

were surprised by the indictment.

7:38

I want you to understand the

7:40

words of the sheriff. We

7:43

were surprised by the

7:45

indictment, Lee said. Ryan

7:47

Walt has been on administrative

7:49

leave without pay, has not been

7:51

actively employed with an agency

7:53

since 2025, DPS said.

7:56

Okay, let's go to the sheriff, Mike Lee.

8:00

Mike Lee suspended the

8:02

cop. for

8:05

getting indicted, but

8:08

hired the

8:10

cop knowing the

8:12

cop killed

8:15

this young man.

8:18

He wasn't surprised

8:20

that the cop

8:22

committed murder based

8:24

on the indictment. He

8:28

was surprised that a

8:30

grand jury in Mississippi, whatever,

8:32

indicted a cop. for

8:35

killing a black

8:37

man. Why

8:39

suspend him, not share? Doesn't

8:42

make sense to me without pay. You

8:44

heard him. Before

8:47

his indictment in March,

8:49

Ryan Walt already faced

8:51

other charges, two aggravated

8:53

assault. Charges

8:55

stemming from a traffic stop a month

8:57

before Lewis is dead. They wanna roll. Ryan

9:00

Wald, an officer, Jeffrey

9:03

Walker pulled over a

9:05

car in Sinatra, Jordan,

9:07

August 2022, after he

9:09

allegedly failed to stop

9:12

at a red light.

9:15

Jordan took off, police

9:18

chase ensued, and

9:20

they decided to

9:22

just shoot into Jordan's

9:25

vehicle. Charita

9:28

Harris. A passenger.

9:31

Innocent. Just

9:34

riding, but shot in the head.

9:37

Seems to be a pattern. Mississippi

9:40

grand jury eventually

9:42

indicted Jordan for felony

9:44

fleeing and for

9:46

shooting at the officers,

9:48

which he denies. Harris

9:51

says her face is

9:54

now paralyzed. She

9:56

was never charged with a crime. And

9:58

it's now suing the officers

10:00

for $3 million accusing them of

10:02

excessive force. Her attorney,

10:05

Carlos Moore, told WJTV

10:07

News he believes Ryan Walt

10:09

was the shooter. A

10:11

grand jury decided in

10:13

December of 2024 to

10:16

indict Ryan Walt and

10:18

Walker, alleging they willfully,

10:20

unlawfully, feloniously

10:23

attempted to cause bodily

10:25

injury. to both Jordan and

10:27

Harris. They got off

10:29

light and should have been

10:31

attempted murder. Meanwhile, state

10:33

and federal authorities, put them

10:35

up, are

10:38

examining what role

10:40

ranking county sheriff Brian

10:42

Bailey may have

10:45

played in the August

10:47

dismissal of DUI

10:49

charges against Frederick. Mississippi

10:52

today is reporting on this.

10:54

Bailey already faces intent, scrutiny related.

10:56

to the self -described. Remember, Goon

10:58

Squad, we brought it to you,

11:00

indisputable, interview the victims. This

11:07

is as corrupt as

11:09

a local police department likely

11:11

gets if it's not

11:13

the most corrupt, it's up

11:15

there. Goon

11:18

Squad, fixing

11:20

tickets. We now have

11:22

a story out there about

11:24

the sheriff, basically. having

11:27

slaves on his farm.

11:30

And now this law

11:32

enforcement has a

11:35

cultural issue. Jackson

11:37

thoughts. So,

11:39

you know, just the, I think that

11:41

the general atmosphere that we're in

11:43

right now is ultimately going to provide,

11:45

you know, Gen X, millennials, Gen

11:48

Z, strong opportunity to really organize on

11:50

the ground. And I know this

11:52

is a point that I bring up

11:54

often, but The reality is is

11:56

that the American public has become too

11:58

accustomed to gun violence of all

12:00

kinds. We've already went through the George

12:02

Floyd protests. We've already seen so

12:04

many issues and come up with gun

12:07

violence and all sorts of other

12:09

issues that we deal with. And nothing

12:11

really changes, which has a lot

12:13

to do with why Kamala lost because

12:15

the public doesn't really particularly have

12:17

faith in the Democrats just because they'll

12:19

throw you a bone every once

12:21

in a while. But at the

12:23

end of the day, It's really

12:25

our responsibility to do something about this.

12:28

I'm 33 years old right now.

12:30

I say that a lot, but pretty

12:32

much all of us in that

12:34

mid -20s to 50 plus range, but

12:36

kind of that mid -20s to 50

12:38

range, it's really our turn to step

12:40

up. A lot of these people

12:43

who are in positions of power, they're

12:45

in their 70s, 80s, or maybe

12:47

they're younger than that, but just

12:50

that corrupt rotating door. These people

12:52

are lazy. These people aren't really

12:54

ready to fight if we unite

12:56

and come together. So tell your

12:58

cousin to run for office somewhere

13:00

because that's really the only reason

13:02

any of this is going to

13:04

change. People need to see results

13:07

so that we can believe again.

13:09

Well said. Well said, we are

13:11

the change. We are the

13:13

leaders that we were waiting for.

13:15

All right, we'll bring up this as

13:17

to come. Hello,

13:21

it is Ryan and we could all

13:23

use an extra bright spot in our

13:25

day, couldn't we? Just to make up

13:27

for things like sitting in traffic, doing

13:29

the dishes, counting your steps, you know,

13:31

all the mundane stuff. That is why

13:34

I'm such a big fan of Chumba

13:49

The Pope passed

13:52

away Monday

13:54

morning, 88 years

13:56

of age,

13:58

his last act,

14:01

giving the vice president of

14:04

the United States a

14:06

lesson about immigrants, put it

14:08

up for a mass

14:10

about migrants in particular. So

14:12

Pope Francis passed away

14:15

early morning. But

14:17

his last act

14:19

was to give

14:21

JD Vance a

14:23

lesson about migrants

14:25

Vance met with

14:27

Pope Francis in

14:29

the Vatican on

14:31

Easter Sunday, Resurrection

14:33

Day. While their

14:35

brief meeting appears to

14:38

have been largely

14:40

conciliatory in tone with

14:42

Vance telling the

14:44

Pope, quote, It's

14:46

good to see you

14:48

in better end quote. France's

14:54

official Easter speech

14:57

later in the day

14:59

rebuked MAGA. It didn't

15:01

seem to it did. And

15:03

also Vance, the

15:05

stance on immigrants and foreign

15:07

aid, et cetera, quote, how

15:11

much contempt is stirred

15:13

up? at

15:15

times towards the vulnerable, the

15:19

marginalized and

15:21

migrants, the Pope

15:23

wrote in the address. You

15:25

know, it is

15:27

interesting, isn't it? Because

15:30

those who the

15:32

Pope deal with will

15:34

say they read

15:36

the Bible. Apocryphal,

15:39

but all of us deal there. And

15:42

then the folks that JD deals with,

15:45

they proclaim, they

15:48

too, read that

15:50

same Bible. As

15:53

a matter of fact,

15:55

they believe in the

15:57

same Redeemer, Messiah Christ.

16:01

But in application, the

16:04

folk in America that follow

16:06

MAGA seem to do it

16:08

quite differently than others. We'll

16:11

get into it. So

16:13

the Pope gave a

16:15

brief greeting to the

16:17

crowd before another surrogate

16:19

archbishop, Revelli, read

16:22

aloud the actual speech. So

16:25

the address read, quote,

16:27

how much contempt is stirred

16:30

up at times towards

16:32

the vulnerable, the marginalized, and

16:34

migrants? The

16:37

responsibility, excuse me,

16:39

the speech read, I appeal

16:41

to all those

16:44

in positions of

16:46

political responsibility in

16:48

our world, not

16:50

to yield to the

16:52

logic of fear, which

16:55

only leads to

16:57

isolation from others, but

17:00

rather to use

17:02

the resources available to

17:04

help the needing

17:06

to fight hunger. and

17:09

to encourage initiatives that

17:11

promote development. These are

17:14

the weapons of peace,

17:17

the weapons that build the

17:19

future instead of sowing

17:21

seeds of death. I mean,

17:23

listen, I'm not a

17:25

religious man, I'm a spiritual

17:27

guy. But damn, that

17:29

sounds like stuff that Yahshua,

17:31

Jesus Christ, actually said

17:33

and did. Remember, he

17:35

stopped preaching to feed

17:37

the multitude because he perceived they

17:39

were hungry. That's the soup kitchen. Understanding

17:43

the whole person is

17:46

not only part of

17:48

it, it's all of

17:50

it. And the

17:52

irony of how this

17:54

administration has decided

17:56

to treat individuals who

17:58

they believe are

18:00

lesser than them. They're

18:03

only showing themselves to be small.

18:05

The Daily Beast reported that

18:08

on Saturday the Pope

18:10

did not attend the Vatican's

18:12

official meeting with Vance,

18:15

instead having Cardinal Perlin deliver

18:17

a lecture on compassion.

18:19

The Vatican released a statement

18:21

saying that the meeting

18:23

included, quote, an exchange of

18:26

opinions on the international

18:28

situation, especially regarding countries affected

18:30

by war, political

18:33

tensions and difficult

18:35

humanitarian situations. specific

18:37

attention to migrants, refugees,

18:41

and prisoners. The people that Trump,

18:43

Vance, and MAGA especially do

18:45

not care about. A

18:47

statement from the vice

18:50

president or his office

18:52

about the discussion omitted

18:54

the topic of migration,

18:57

saying Vance discussed,

19:00

quote, the plight

19:02

of persecuted Christian

19:04

communities. around the

19:07

world. And President

19:09

Donald Trump's quote, commitment

19:11

to restoring world peace.

19:13

You don't have enough

19:16

Christians in the world

19:18

for that. If

19:20

you're only concerned about saving

19:22

individuals that may proclaim your

19:24

faith, you don't have enough

19:26

of them to achieve world

19:28

peace. You gotta work with

19:30

everybody. After skipping

19:32

the official meeting, Pope

19:34

Francis and JD Vance met

19:36

Sunday during a brief

19:39

interaction. The Pope has been

19:41

open about his disapproval

19:43

of Trump's anti -immigrant agenda

19:45

and mass deportation operation in

19:48

which international students who

19:50

have exercised their free speech,

19:53

abilities, as well

19:55

as immigrants and asylum seekers have

19:57

been detained in recent weeks. So

20:00

in February, Pope Francis

20:02

wrote a letter

20:04

to U .S.

20:06

bishops condemning Trump's

20:08

deportation operation and

20:10

specifically referenced the

20:12

Catholic, which means

20:14

universal concept of Ordo,

20:17

a modus, order of love, which

20:20

Vance has pointed to in

20:22

defense of mass deportations, ironically.

20:25

On Sunday, Pope

20:27

Francis made one last

20:30

call for a ceasefire. in

20:32

Gaza. Quote,

20:34

this is cruelty. This

20:38

is not

20:40

war. Harsen

20:42

prayers to the family,

20:44

friends, and those

20:46

who follow Pope Francis.

20:49

All right. We

20:53

got a lot of Catholics in the world. A

20:55

lot of folk claim they're Christian. A

20:57

lot of individuals who listen to

21:00

the Pope. in the world.

21:03

The administration has managed

21:05

to offend virtually

21:07

every demographic I can

21:09

think of except

21:11

racist white men. That

21:15

is the reality of

21:17

now. Jackson thoughts. But

21:20

really in terms

21:22

of how the evangelical

21:24

right wing in

21:26

this country treats religion

21:28

is. kind of similar

21:30

to the way that the Roman

21:33

state treated religion and that the

21:35

gods represented the goods of the

21:37

state. And so God represents the

21:39

good of the American state and

21:41

everything that advances the United States

21:43

also advances God's word. This

21:46

is nothing new. People have

21:48

been doing this ever since civilization

21:50

has been a thing and

21:52

likely before that in terms of

21:54

how we come together through

21:56

collective ideas. How else could we

21:58

get people to sacrifice hours

22:01

and hours out of their day

22:03

to build these monument structures

22:05

unless we all thought that it

22:07

was to the glory of

22:09

some kingdom or whatever it may

22:11

be throughout time? That's

22:13

the same way that Republicans

22:15

treat Christianity. It's just

22:17

a way to advance the

22:19

American agenda. And so

22:22

of course, the Pope had

22:24

something real to say about migrants

22:26

and empathy and compassion. Because

22:28

that's not what evangelical Christianity, at

22:30

least in this country as

22:32

it pertains to the political movement.

22:34

That's just not what it's

22:36

about. It's about power. It's

22:38

about dominance. It's

22:41

about authority. And

22:43

it's really not any deeper

22:45

than that. Yeah.

22:49

is politics as usual.

22:52

And I'm reminded of

22:55

my personal journey, increase

22:58

my consciousness, increase my

23:00

conscious awareness, and attempt

23:02

to do good to

23:05

those that you meet.

23:07

Real simple. That's it.

23:10

These individuals have managed

23:12

to actually go

23:14

to the opposite side

23:16

and do real evil,

23:19

actual negative to

23:22

human beings. All

23:24

24:34

A worker. A

24:36

worker's had to endure white

24:38

men running around with, well,

24:42

a noose. to hang them.

24:45

Put it up full mass. Imagine

24:49

going to work. You're

24:51

a firefighter. You work at

24:54

the fire department. Firefighters.

24:56

Chase the black co -worker with

24:58

the noose. At

25:01

work, Jordan

25:03

Hastings and Jay

25:05

Droney, two volunteer

25:07

firefighters from

25:09

Millville, Delaware. are

25:13

receiving criticism and

25:15

they have been

25:18

fired and charged

25:20

with hate crimes.

25:23

This is how you do it.

25:26

On April 9th, 2024, Delaware

25:29

State Police were

25:31

notified of the

25:33

incident by the

25:36

Millville Volunteer Company

25:38

Administration. It

25:41

happened 14 months earlier

25:43

when J. Droney, 27

25:45

of Millville and Jordan

25:47

Hastings, 23 of Delmar

25:49

chased a fellow firefighter

25:51

around the station while

25:53

carrying a rope tied

25:56

in the shape of

25:58

a noose according to

26:00

the cops. The

26:02

Millville administration said they

26:04

first heard about it

26:06

last week. This is

26:08

actually an amazing and

26:10

ironic story. So, Droney

26:12

made a racist comment

26:14

toward the victim as

26:16

they chased him. All

26:19

right, that qualifies your hate crime. The

26:21

new should, that's

26:23

according to the cops. Investigators

26:25

also said Droney made additional racist

26:28

comments to the victim on

26:30

multiple occasions. After the first incident,

26:33

warrants were obtained

26:35

for Droney

26:37

and Hastings. on

26:39

Tuesday, they

26:41

turned themselves in and faced

26:44

charges of hate crimes, conspiracy, harassment,

26:48

but were both were

26:50

dismissed from the

26:53

fire company, Delaware

26:55

House Speaker, Melissa Minor

26:57

Brown, Majority Leader

26:59

Kerry Evelyn Harris

27:01

and Majority Whip, Ed

27:04

Osinski issued a

27:07

joint statement a

27:09

green quote, lynching

27:12

is not

27:14

a joke.

27:17

Can I just say

27:20

it's sad in 2025

27:22

that three politicians signing

27:24

a document that says

27:26

lynching is not a

27:28

joke is newsworthy? But

27:32

it is because there

27:34

are so many in

27:36

power who believe lynching

27:38

is a joke, adding

27:41

that many of their family

27:43

members, quote, lived

27:45

in fear of and

27:48

fought against lynching. Quote, it

27:50

is something that black Americans still,

27:52

unfortunately, live in

27:54

fear of. They said,

27:57

quote, no one, and

27:59

especially not someone who puts

28:01

their safety on the line to

28:04

protect others. should

28:06

ever be ever be subjected

28:08

to that, to the kind

28:10

of hateful and threatening behavior

28:12

that a Milliville volunteer fire

28:14

company employee went through at

28:16

the hands of his colleagues.

28:21

End quote, it's unclear why so

28:24

much time transpired between the actual

28:26

incident and the reporting of it.

28:28

Remember, we got a 14 month

28:30

delay, 14

28:32

months. A portion of

28:34

the Our fire company statement

28:36

reads, quote, MVFC,

28:39

identify two volunteer members

28:42

accused of racially

28:44

harassing behavior towards an

28:46

employee. As a

28:48

result of that internal

28:50

investigation, fire company

28:53

has decided to permanently

28:55

revoke the memberships of

28:57

the two volunteer members.

29:00

They are no longer members

29:02

of the fire company. It

29:04

is important to note that

29:06

the Delaware State Police has

29:08

arrested two individuals connected to

29:10

the matter, both charged

29:12

with hate crimes. For

29:17

14 months, it's a question.

29:20

I grant you that. It's a real question. We

29:22

don't have that answer yet. But

29:24

here's what

29:26

is not a

29:28

question. When

29:32

the right power or

29:34

powers that be found

29:36

out that this happened,

29:38

it didn't matter that

29:40

it happened 14 months

29:42

ago. You

29:44

see, to me, that's

29:46

a glass half full

29:48

dynamic. That's a very

29:50

beautiful thing because typically

29:52

that's the reason to

29:54

ignore it even more

29:56

for many. see

29:59

14 months is still within

30:01

the two -year statute of

30:03

limitation. You

30:05

have the ability to

30:07

prosecute. They investigated, found

30:10

it to be true, so it didn't matter

30:12

if it happened 14 months ago or yesterday. Delaware

30:15

police, they get involved immediately.

30:18

They arrest them. And

30:20

then the fire company, not

30:23

only do they fire the individuals,

30:25

they release a statement and they

30:27

go above and beyond. Not that

30:29

two individuals have been dismissed. We

30:31

don't discuss personnel matters beyond that.

30:33

No, no, here's who they are.

30:36

Here's what they did. And

30:38

by the way, they

30:40

were arrested and hate crime

30:42

charges were fixed. All

30:47

right, Jackson,

30:49

rarely do we

30:51

have a

30:53

story that gave

30:55

everything. that we

30:57

would typically fight for, justice

31:00

and apology, redemption,

31:03

right? But this story does,

31:05

except for the 14 month delay. That's an issue, we'll

31:07

figure that out at some point. What say you? Yeah,

31:10

except for that, I guess

31:12

we can't have everything perfect,

31:14

especially in an environment like

31:16

this where just the appetite

31:18

for racism and segregation and

31:20

white supremacy has been increasing

31:23

for over a decade now.

31:25

So that absolutely plays into

31:27

people feeling comfortable that they

31:29

can do stuff like this

31:31

at all. So

31:33

it's very important that we're able to

31:35

see some justice and see some consequences

31:37

for things like this. Just to make

31:39

it a little bit easier to reel

31:41

it in, I think that one

31:43

of the good things, I mean, it's

31:45

horrible that Donald Trump and everyone in

31:47

his administration is completely incompetent. But it's

31:50

also kind of good that they're completely

31:52

incompetent because they can only do so

31:54

much. of their sinister plans.

31:56

You look at how they're carrying out

31:58

their mass deportation. Sure, they're

32:00

sending wrong people to El

32:02

Salvador out of incompetency, but they

32:05

can't really deport 10 million

32:07

plus people. They're showing that, obviously,

32:09

they don't have that ability.

32:11

So it's good that we can

32:13

see some consequences. And that's

32:15

why I say, again, it's up

32:17

to us to continue to

32:20

push forward. That's right.

32:22

And once again, it

32:24

came down to leadership. the

32:26

right leader heard the

32:28

story and everything else happened

32:30

from there. Hello,

32:34

33:41

hey Jackson. Luanne

33:44

didn't even say anything. up Luanne? Right, she

33:46

didn't even say hi to you. She just

33:48

said, what's up? What's up Luanne? Hope you

33:50

good - She came to my house, asked

33:53

for the gas. That's

33:55

what she did, man. That's what she

33:57

did. It's all good. What's up, Luanne?

33:59

No, brother. What I have, you

34:01

have, brother. the

34:03

way I'm just playing with you. Always good to

34:05

have you check in. See,

34:08

I think this is

34:10

Sinyard Burgess, rest in

34:12

power, may true justice prevail. I

34:15

concur. Gene

34:17

Barron, I'm atheist, but

34:20

R .I .P to the Pope. He was sincerely

34:22

a good and decent man. He sure was. And

34:26

we're

34:29

all,

34:31

brothers and sisters, every single one of

34:33

us. It doesn't matter race, community,

34:37

affiliation,

34:40

religion, it doesn't. And

34:43

that's the part

34:45

that has been dismissed

34:47

from our humanity

34:49

in the ranks of

34:51

politics. Snack Panther, this poll

34:53

was pretty damn dope, spreading love and

34:55

hope, saw JD Vance and said,

34:57

nope. All

35:00

right, I like like what

35:02

you did love 18 white

35:04

girls some so some cops

35:06

are actually being held accountable

35:08

for their cowardice. It's about

35:10

damn time Yep, and Chris

35:12

Shaggy subscribe with prime For

35:14

44 months really appreciate you.

35:16

All right Okay, got something

35:18

for you ladies and gentlemen.

35:20

I wish you care in

35:22

wood You want to call

35:24

the police on them for

35:26

having a barbecue on a

35:28

Sunday? Girl

35:35

35:38

I intimidated by Q at

35:40

your BS? Look at Q.

35:43

Yeah look at Q. My

35:48

hair ain't fake. It's

35:52

nasty. Your hair is

35:54

36:05

We have a code

36:07

58 cackle of

36:09

Karen's once again put

36:11

36:13

a mass So a

36:15

cackle of Karen's

36:17

get into it with

36:19

a black woman

36:21

while in line Obviously

36:23

you see how

36:25

things get nasty, and

36:27

I want to bring your attention

36:29

to something. Okay,

36:31

and keep the picture up. I

36:35

believe there's

36:37

a secret training

36:40

institute for

36:42

OG Carons. They

36:45

respond in unison 100

36:47

% of the time.

36:49

I have never seen

36:52

two Carons or more

36:54

together And one Karen

36:56

tries to reason with

36:58

the other one. They

37:01

always respond the

37:03

same. The training

37:05

is happening, some damn where. Jackson,

37:08

I know people will say I'm a

37:10

conspiracy theorist for believing in such

37:12

a thing, but weird things have happened.

37:15

where the things have happened. It's just another

37:17

day at the supermarket with some sassy ladies,

37:19

you know what I'm saying? That's what I

37:21

was thinking while I was watching this. I

37:23

was like, it's just another day, just a

37:25

typical thing that you might see. At

37:28

least no shots, real shots was

37:30

fired and no blows was thrown. But

37:32

it could have been worse, but

37:34

I was kind of entertained by it.

37:36

I can't lie, I kind of

37:38

like that. Yeah, no carins and non

37:40

-carons were injured during the making of

37:42

the story. All

37:49

right, well, damn. Secretary

37:52

of Defense

37:54

Hexeth shared additional

37:57

classified information

37:59

with additional people.

38:02

Put them up full mass. We

38:05

got an update. Hexeth

38:08

shared information

38:10

on the Yemen

38:12

Strides with

38:15

his wife. His

38:17

brother, maybe more,

38:19

according to sources close

38:21

to the matter, Pete

38:24

Higgs said shared information

38:26

ahead of the strikes

38:28

in a signal chat

38:30

with wife and brother.

38:32

Pete, get off of signal chat,

38:34

sir. Just get off, all

38:37

right? This comes

38:39

hardly a month after

38:41

we reported on the

38:43

news that Higgs said

38:45

disclosed secret. war plans

38:47

in a group chat

38:49

with the editor and

38:51

chief of the Atlantic, Jeffrey

38:55

Goldberg. Hegseth

38:58

has now responded. Here

39:00

it is. What

39:05

a big surprise that a bunch

39:07

of a few leakers get fired and

39:09

suddenly a bunch of hit pieces

39:11

come out from the same media that

39:13

peddled the Russia hopes. won't

39:16

give back their Pulitzers. They got Pulitzers for a

39:18

bunch of lies. Pulitzers for

39:20

a bunch of lies and

39:22

on hoaxes time and time and

39:24

time again. And as they

39:26

peddle those lies, no one ever calls them on. See,

39:29

this is what the media does. They

39:31

take anonymous sources from disgruntled former

39:33

employees. And then they try to

39:35

slash and burn people and ruin

39:37

their reputation. Not gonna work with

39:40

me. Sir,

39:42

you're really bad at this. I'm

39:49

disappointed to be quite honest. Put

39:51

them up again. Sir,

39:56

you are in the

39:58

company of some

40:01

of the most prolific

40:03

liars this country

40:05

has ever produced. You

40:08

have to get your ish

40:10

together, sir. Everybody saw through what

40:12

you just did. It seems

40:14

silly. Trump is going to

40:16

fire you, not because of the classified information

40:18

stuff, but because you don't know how to

40:20

lie better. All

40:23

right, here's what we know. Defense

40:26

Secretary Pete Hexeth

40:28

used his personal

40:30

phone to send

40:32

information about US

40:34

military operations in

40:36

Yemen to a

40:38

13 -person signal

40:40

group chat, including

40:42

his wife. his

40:45

brother, two sources

40:47

with knowledge of the matter, confirmed

40:49

to NBC News. Now, why

40:52

is he doing this? Why

40:54

are they included? This

40:56

is what happens

40:58

when you give

41:00

someone a position

41:02

that they never

41:04

earned, never deserved,

41:08

never should have gotten it. Didn't even really have

41:10

to interview for it. in

41:14

over his head, but he wants

41:16

to impress people. He

41:18

wants to impress people. That's

41:20

my opinion so far. He

41:23

did something really important. He

41:26

made bombs happen

41:28

in Yemen. He

41:31

did a big thing. Most

41:33

people to know assume.

41:35

He did so after

41:37

an aide had warned

41:39

him to be careful

41:41

not to share sensitive

41:44

information on an unsecured

41:46

communication system before the

41:48

operation," the sources said.

41:51

The Times cited four unnamed

41:53

sources. Some of

41:55

them, the Times reported,

41:57

said that the information

41:59

Hexeth sent in the

42:01

second chat, such as

42:03

the flight schedule of

42:05

the FAA -18 planes

42:08

being used. appear to

42:10

be similar to information

42:12

he had shared in the

42:14

signal chat reported by

42:16

the editor of the Atlantic,

42:18

one source confirmed to

42:20

NBC News. The

42:25

Secretary of Defense

42:27

put actual soldiers,

42:30

actual Americans in

42:32

danger. This

42:34

could have went

42:36

south. in

42:39

a detrimental way. Does

42:42

he care? No, he's still lying

42:44

about it. Hegseth

42:46

came under scrutiny last month

42:48

after it was revealed that

42:50

his wife, former

42:52

Fox News producer, attended

42:54

sensitive defense department meetings

42:57

with British and NATO

42:59

leaders. Jennifer Hegseth

43:01

is not a Pentagon

43:03

employee. Yes,

43:06

yes. his boss is Donald

43:09

Trump, who brings

43:11

in his girlfriend

43:13

to do the same

43:15

damn thing. So

43:17

Trump can't hold he

43:20

accept accountable to not

43:22

do silly, immature,

43:25

and negligent

43:28

activities. Sean

43:30

Parnell, the chief food,

43:33

excuse me, the chief. DOD spokesperson

43:35

denied that Hexeth had shared

43:37

classified information. Quote, there was no

43:39

classified information in any signature

43:41

chat. You said on X. Anna

43:45

Kelly, a White House

43:47

deputy press secretary, played down the significance

43:49

of the second group chat. Quote, no

43:51

matter how many times the legacy media

43:53

tries to resurrect the same non -story

43:55

that can't change the fact that no

43:58

classified information was shared, she

44:00

said in

44:02

a. In

44:04

both instances, Heg

44:06

Seth used his personal phone

44:08

rather than his official

44:10

phone. According to the sources,

44:12

Heg Seth spoke to reporters Monday

44:15

morning from the White House. When

44:17

asked about the second signal chat,

44:19

he attacked both the press and

44:21

leakers. But notice,

44:23

he actually

44:25

never denied the

44:28

allegations. Now,

44:31

there's a breaking update. NPR

44:35

is reporting today

44:37

that they have

44:40

learned that the

44:42

White House has

44:44

begun the search

44:47

for a new

44:49

Secretary of Defense

44:52

because of how

44:54

he lies. No,

44:56

I don't know why. But

44:58

obviously, If you

45:01

get fired, Jackson,

45:04

if you get fired

45:06

for incompetence under

45:08

the Trump administration. Yeah,

45:13

you must have really done

45:15

something special and he did.

45:17

Pete Hexeth really has done

45:19

something special. You know,

45:21

this caused a lot of uproar that people

45:23

hadn't gotten over, which ultimately is the

45:25

reason why they're pushing for this. But at

45:27

the end of the day, Pete Hexeth

45:29

got that job because Donald Trump enjoyed watching

45:32

him on television. That's the

45:34

only reason he got the job.

45:36

It's not any deeper than that. And

45:38

as you pointed out after we

45:40

watched the intro video, yeah,

45:42

he is really bad at this.

45:44

And it's not just Pete, but

45:46

it's all of them. Like anytime

45:48

they get caught up in something.

45:50

They have no accountability. They have

45:53

no willingness or concept of the

45:55

fact not only that they can

45:57

make a mistake or that they

45:59

have made a mistake, but that

46:01

we saw it. We're aware of

46:03

it. So anything that happens,

46:05

they're just like, you didn't see what

46:07

you saw. Shut up,

46:09

just shut up and don't worry about

46:11

it. But these are very serious

46:13

matters because Pete Hexeth is the head

46:15

of the American military. That's his

46:17

job. It's the largest employer in the

46:19

country. There's so much at

46:21

stake here, and you're just willy -nilly

46:23

sending all this information out. And then

46:25

when you're confronted about it, again, instead

46:28

of addressing it in any kind of

46:30

meaningful way, you're just like, shut up.

46:32

Like, okay, bad, but that's

46:34

what they are doing. We still

46:36

got three years and over three

46:38

years left it is. We're just

46:40

getting started. That

46:43

part. All right.

46:45

I got to take a quick

46:47

break. We got more on the

46:49

other side indisputable sticking state. This

46:56

is a story

46:58

beyond the headline. Very

47:00

sad story. A

47:02

black federal

47:05

worker dies after

47:07

being stressed

47:09

out over layoffs.

47:14

Maryland. In

47:16

Maryland, the

47:18

family of Monique Lockett, a

47:21

federal worker who

47:23

died at her

47:25

job two months

47:27

ago, believes her

47:30

stress and uncertainty

47:32

about the current

47:34

White House administration's

47:36

sweeping overhaul. of

47:38

federal agencies contributed

47:40

to their loved

47:42

one's death. Ms.

47:45

Lockett died on the

47:47

18th of February at a

47:49

job at SSA, Social

47:51

Security Administration. She

47:54

was on the campus just outside of

47:56

Baltimore. She walked into the

47:58

building, fell asleep

48:00

at her desk, never

48:02

woke up. That's according

48:04

to a police report cited by CNN. She

48:07

worked there for 25 years, was

48:10

just five years

48:12

from retirement. Now,

48:16

while this is one story and

48:18

I have a lot of additional

48:20

details, please know

48:22

this is a

48:24

microcosm of the macrocosm.

48:27

I received emails

48:30

consistently from people

48:32

around the country

48:34

who feel the

48:37

pain, the burden, the

48:39

pressure, the stress of

48:41

what may happen. One

48:46

mother shared

48:49

with me that

48:51

she could

48:53

no longer pay

48:55

for her

48:58

son's college tuition

49:00

because if

49:02

or when She

49:05

gets the axe. She

49:07

has no retirement. She

49:10

has to now go

49:12

into survival mode for her

49:15

and the family. Just

49:17

because of the

49:19

recklessness of this

49:21

administration. In

49:23

the weeks leading up to her

49:25

death, Monique's

49:28

sister, Kasha

49:30

said Monique was deeply

49:32

troubled. by how

49:34

Elon Musk and his

49:36

agenda as head of the

49:38

doge or dodge, as

49:40

I call the department, to

49:43

carry out major federal

49:45

spending cuts, mass layoffs, et

49:47

cetera, how it may impact a job. Quote,

49:49

my sister had a

49:52

lot of anxiety around the

49:54

changes that were happening

49:56

in other agencies and inevitably

49:58

what would happen to

50:00

Social Security, she told CNN.

50:03

She was concerned about the

50:05

overall well -being of everybody that

50:07

she worked with because it

50:09

was stressful for a lot

50:11

of people. Yeah, and she

50:13

also put in 25 years,

50:16

five years from retirement. I'm

50:18

sure she had colleagues in

50:20

a very similar situation she

50:22

cared for deeply. According

50:24

to a spokesperson for the

50:26

office of the chief medical

50:29

examiner, Marilyn, Ms.

50:31

Lockett died of

50:33

hyper -tensive cardiovascular disease,

50:35

which causes plaque buildup

50:38

in the arteries. Monique's

50:40

sister said that her

50:42

sister also had high

50:44

blood pressure and was

50:47

obese. 2019 medical

50:49

journal cited by the

50:51

National Institutes of Health

50:53

states that chronic psychological

50:55

stress can increase the

50:57

risk as

50:59

well as strokes and

51:01

also heart attacks.

51:03

It's unclear what triggered

51:06

this locket precisely. Fatal

51:10

health complications. Happened

51:13

on the day of her

51:16

death, but you cannot be

51:18

for sure. What

51:20

was caused in effect, but the

51:22

sister believes. Stress

51:24

might have been a factor, I

51:26

agree. She noted

51:28

that Monique was also feeling

51:30

undervalued at her job in

51:33

her final days. Quote, it

51:35

was very upsetting to hear, it

51:37

was very upsetting to

51:39

her to hear that

51:41

they, that

51:44

what they did wasn't

51:46

valued. What

51:49

they did wasn't important

51:51

and certainly that what they

51:53

did was wasteful. You

51:57

know, it's so

52:00

sad. The reason

52:02

Monique feels this

52:04

way or felt that

52:06

way at the

52:08

time is because she

52:10

identified her, she

52:13

identified her value

52:15

at least in

52:17

some part connected

52:19

to the service

52:21

that she provided

52:23

via that position.

52:27

Many of us do that. And

52:29

it's not wrong to do. And

52:32

all of a sudden you

52:34

have Johnny come lately, who

52:36

really don't know what they're

52:38

doing, nor do they care.

52:42

Marginalizing you and

52:44

making others believe

52:47

that you should

52:49

be marginalized. Co

52:58

-workers told police that

53:00

Monique did not display

53:02

visible signs of distress

53:04

before she fell asleep

53:06

at her desk. Paramedics

53:09

spent about 40 minutes trying to revive her.

53:12

They were unsuccessful. The

53:15

53 -year -old was pronounced dead at

53:17

the scene. Quote,

53:20

what happened to Monique

53:22

was truly sad and tragic,

53:24

literally shook me to

53:26

the core. an SS employee

53:28

told CNN. A

53:30

former SS worker stated that

53:32

agency employees have received multiple

53:35

emails from the Trump administration

53:37

inquiring about their productivity levels,

53:39

which has had a whiplash

53:41

effect on the workforce. Quote,

53:43

is creating a level of

53:45

anxiety that's making it hard

53:47

to do the jobs. These

53:50

are good people who are being

53:52

traumatized, former employee said. Please

53:55

understand, and I mean this

53:57

for those who may be

53:59

in a stressful work environment

54:01

or other environment. If

54:06

it costs you your peace,

54:08

it costs too much. If

54:14

it costs you your peace, it

54:17

costs too much. This lady is

54:19

dead. Family

54:23

loves her. We

54:26

don't live our lives

54:28

out here. We live our

54:30

lives inside. If

54:34

what's happening inside

54:36

doesn't feel right every

54:39

day, what else

54:41

do you have? We have

54:43

to live our lives in

54:45

here. Monique

54:48

was an information

54:50

technology specialist. She

54:54

worked at the Office of

54:56

Systems Architecture, SSA's office, which creates

54:58

databases for sensitive data managed

55:01

by the agency. Former

55:03

colleagues said she was quote,

55:05

one of our best

55:07

and quote, very familiar with

55:09

the existing data repositories

55:11

that we have at the

55:13

agency. In the months

55:15

since Donald Trump took power in

55:17

the White House, administration officials have

55:19

granted several. of

55:22

Elon Musk representatives

55:24

access to sensitive

55:26

data on millions

55:28

of Americans to

55:30

facilitate the quasi

55:32

-agency's purported purpose

55:34

of discovering whether

55:36

fraud is happening

55:38

in the SSA

55:40

payment system. Trump

55:43

has stated that he will

55:45

not cut social security,

55:47

Medicaid or Medicare benefits, but

55:49

in March, In

55:52

a March 11 fact

55:54

check report from the

55:56

White House, the administration

55:58

reported that SSA has

56:00

made an estimated $72

56:03

billion in improper payments

56:05

between 2015 and 2022.

56:07

So last month,

56:10

billionaire U .S. Commerce

56:12

Secretary Howard Lutnick

56:14

remarked that if

56:16

SSA missed sending

56:19

a payment to his 94

56:21

-year -old mother -in -law, she

56:23

would simply wait until next

56:26

month and wouldn't call in to

56:28

complain. Using

56:30

her example to suggest

56:32

that, quote, a

56:34

fraudster always makes the loudest

56:36

noise, end quote, and

56:39

only someone defrauding the

56:41

system would complain about

56:43

a mispayment instead. The

56:46

Daily Beast reports,

56:48

that records indicate

56:50

Lambert, Lutton's mother

56:53

-in -law, lives with

56:55

him and his

56:57

wife in their

56:59

Upper East Side

57:01

penthouse. Just

57:04

like a billionaire. Yeah.

57:06

I mean, if my mother misses it, she's

57:09

not going to call.

57:12

She's going to wait. You

57:16

think these individuals are gaslighting,

57:18

and sometimes they are obviously.

57:21

But sometimes they are

57:23

this disconnected from

57:25

the fact that we

57:27

have senior citizens

57:29

who have worked their

57:31

entire lives having

57:33

to figure out, can

57:36

I buy bread

57:38

or medicine? Pulling

57:41

pennies together, making miracles

57:43

happen every month. While

57:46

individuals like

57:48

him, they have

57:50

no peers

57:52

in that socioeconomic

57:55

scenario. Notice

57:57

he cared to.

57:59

Elon Musk voiced his

58:01

disapproval of the

58:03

SSA during an interview.

58:06

This was February 28th.

58:09

He was on the Joe Rogan show,

58:11

calling the agency quote, the biggest

58:13

Ponzi scheme of all time. in

58:17

an interview with Fox Business,

58:19

Musk said, quote, the waste

58:21

and fraud and entitlement spending

58:23

is the big one to

58:25

eliminate Musk. You

58:30

are an expert in understanding what

58:32

a Ponzi scheme is, sir. However,

58:37

this administration is

58:39

not. Does it

58:41

require remedy, repair,

58:43

and resurrection? Yes.

58:47

but a Ponzi scheme. Come

58:51

on. All right,

58:53

Jackson thoughts. I think

58:55

one of the more profound

58:57

statements that you've made that I've

58:59

heard you say that's very

59:02

true is that we live our

59:04

lives inside. It really

59:06

is true. And one of

59:08

the reasons that I bring

59:10

that back up is that Elon

59:12

Musk the man who's causing

59:14

all of this trouble for people.

59:16

Spent $300 million something dollars

59:18

to be in the position that

59:21

he's in. One of

59:23

the statements that he made recently, he said

59:25

that empathy is a weakness, that one

59:27

of the biggest weaknesses of the West is

59:29

empathy. You sure did? And

59:31

it's, what a projection that is. He

59:33

doesn't have the ability to feel

59:35

and understand other people. And so he

59:37

doesn't care that this is happening

59:39

to people. He doesn't care that people

59:41

don't know how they're going to

59:43

pay their bills or where they're going

59:45

to get money to pay their

59:47

insurance from. He doesn't care

59:50

that people count on their social

59:52

security checks. All he's interested in

59:54

is getting more government subsidies and

59:56

eliminating the federal investigations into both

59:58

himself and his companies, which he's

1:00:00

effectively done at this point. That's

1:00:02

all he cares about. So, you

1:00:04

know, when he says that empathy

1:00:06

is a weakness, of course, that's

1:00:08

wrong. Empathy is one of the

1:00:10

greatest strengths that anybody can have.

1:00:12

I mean, that's been some of

1:00:14

the some of the greatest lessons

1:00:16

I've learned in life were from

1:00:18

moments that I lacked empathy, where

1:00:20

I wasn't thinking about somebody else

1:00:22

and I caused issues because of

1:00:25

it. Or maybe I hurt

1:00:27

somebody because of it. You

1:00:29

know, so. At least

1:00:31

if you feel some guilt and

1:00:33

some shame, at least you know you're

1:00:35

not like Elon Musk. Because that

1:00:37

man feels no guilt and shame about

1:00:40

anything he's ever done. So

1:00:43

it's really just a shame

1:00:45

to watch all of this destruction

1:00:47

unfold at the likes of

1:00:49

somebody like him. I'm glad

1:00:51

you brought up that statement. I remember

1:00:54

when he made that statement and I

1:00:56

thought to myself, I said, wow, that's

1:00:59

actual evil. So

1:01:02

people think evil is bad. Well,

1:01:05

evil is the

1:01:08

promotion of nobody

1:01:10

else but self.

1:01:13

That's evil. And

1:01:16

his world, he

1:01:19

is

1:01:21

everybody's superior.

1:01:27

Great dynamic of empathy

1:01:29

is that it allows

1:01:31

you to have these

1:01:34

other experiences like love. You

1:01:37

cannot love without empathy. It

1:01:39

allows you to have these

1:01:41

other experiences like forgiveness, decency,

1:01:47

humanity. So

1:01:49

we literally have people

1:01:52

who lack the full

1:01:54

range of emotional connectivity

1:01:58

and brag about it. This

1:02:01

is our current state. Tough

1:02:09

story. Innocent

1:02:11

man. 30 years

1:02:13

in prison for something he never

1:02:15

did. Put it a full mask. 30

1:02:19

years. LA

1:02:21

man spent 30 years in prison over

1:02:23

a gang murder. He

1:02:25

has been found factually innocent

1:02:27

of gang murder. On

1:02:29

Friday, April a

1:02:31

judge found Mr. Humberto

1:02:34

Beto Duran, 51,

1:02:39

factually innocent of a

1:02:41

1993 East LA

1:02:43

gang murder. He

1:02:45

served 30 years for

1:02:47

a crime he did

1:02:49

not commit. The irony

1:02:51

is there are people

1:02:53

who have committed actual

1:02:55

murder and never served

1:02:58

30 years in prison. He

1:03:01

did nothing nearly

1:03:03

three decades ago.

1:03:08

Beto was convicted

1:03:10

of killing 17

1:03:12

year old Albert

1:03:14

Gonzalez based on

1:03:16

a single eyewitness

1:03:18

who testified. He

1:03:21

was sentenced 25 years to

1:03:23

life in prison at the

1:03:25

time. He was only 19

1:03:27

According to a report by

1:03:29

the LA Times Beto had

1:03:32

known Gonzalez growing up quote

1:03:34

I was surprised he told

1:03:36

the Times quote I wasn't

1:03:38

even aware That he had

1:03:40

any problems with anybody as

1:03:43

to why they would go

1:03:45

kill him So Beto's lawyer

1:03:47

purportedly told the Times that

1:03:50

his client was framed

1:03:52

for the murder of Gonzalez.

1:03:55

Quote, a detective told me, you ain't

1:03:57

never getting out. And I looked

1:03:59

at him and I had a smirk

1:04:01

and I said, we'll see who

1:04:03

has the last laugh. Beto

1:04:05

told KTLA, I will never

1:04:07

forget those words. So the path

1:04:10

to having his name cleared a

1:04:12

lot of nuances ups and downs.

1:04:14

So Beto told his family, Beto

1:04:16

and his family, we never lost

1:04:18

faith. spent years

1:04:20

reaching out to various

1:04:22

innocent projects, et

1:04:24

cetera. Then in 2018,

1:04:27

a woman named

1:04:29

Megan Baca, who

1:04:31

is now the director

1:04:33

of the California Innocence

1:04:35

Advocates, reached out to

1:04:37

Beto and ultimately started

1:04:39

him on his path

1:04:42

to parole in 2022.

1:04:45

With that angel, helping

1:04:47

him, the single

1:04:49

eyewitness ended up recanting

1:04:51

her testimony. This

1:04:55

case was vacated in 2024.

1:04:58

We have more to the story,

1:05:01

but eyewitness

1:05:03

recanted. That's

1:05:05

it. Whoever

1:05:08

coerced the eyewitness should

1:05:10

be arrested. Those

1:05:12

who allowed the coercion

1:05:14

should be arrested. The attorneys

1:05:17

who engaged in the

1:05:19

corruption should be disbarred and

1:05:21

charged. Real simple. This

1:05:24

is a crime. The

1:05:27

LA Times reported

1:05:29

that the eyewitness,

1:05:31

who was 17,

1:05:34

manipulated, said

1:05:36

that deputies had insisted

1:05:39

that she name Mr.

1:05:41

Durand Beto as the

1:05:43

killer. Quote, I know Beto

1:05:45

is innocent. The Times

1:05:47

reported she wrote in a

1:05:49

sworn declaration in 2022. Quote,

1:05:51

my role in sending an innocent man

1:05:53

to prison has haunted me for the

1:05:55

past 27 years. Look what they made

1:05:58

their child go through. She

1:06:02

was a baby. They

1:06:05

were strategic, corrupt,

1:06:11

didn't give a damn about

1:06:13

what they sentenced her

1:06:15

to. while sentencing

1:06:18

him. Beto

1:06:20

told KTLA News that

1:06:22

he believes the system

1:06:24

is broken. Quote,

1:06:27

I was going to go to

1:06:29

the Marines and become a parole agent.

1:06:32

That dream was taken away from me. His

1:06:35

attorney, Jared Adams, said

1:06:37

he's thankful to the DA,

1:06:39

Nathan Hulkeman, for making

1:06:41

the right decision. He's

1:06:43

now focusing on his future.

1:06:46

quote, I want to start working in

1:06:49

electrical and do my own company

1:06:51

and push forward. I want

1:06:53

to enjoy life. I think I

1:06:55

deserve that. End quote,

1:06:57

his civil case is still

1:06:59

pending and he will find out

1:07:01

on July 17th how much

1:07:03

he could be compensated for the

1:07:06

time spent behind bars. It'll

1:07:09

never be enough, no matter the

1:07:12

money. Jackson,

1:07:15

you know, When we say the system

1:07:17

is broken, I take issue

1:07:19

with that. I understand when we say

1:07:21

it, I understand the spirit behind it.

1:07:24

See, the system

1:07:26

is meant or

1:07:29

was created, developed

1:07:31

and executed to

1:07:33

always protect the

1:07:36

powerful and vilify

1:07:38

those who they

1:07:41

believe have no

1:07:43

voice. the

1:07:45

system is actually working quite

1:07:47

well. We

1:07:49

have to break this

1:07:51

system is what I posit.

1:07:54

Let's say you 100%.

1:07:56

The system works the way

1:07:58

that it was designed

1:08:00

and for the most part.

1:08:03

The most powerful people in society end up

1:08:06

rigging the system eventually, which is why, you

1:08:08

know, you got to stay active, which is

1:08:10

why the public's got to stay on it,

1:08:12

particularly if you're lucky enough to live in

1:08:14

a democratic society at all. But,

1:08:17

you know, as you pointed out,

1:08:19

there's just no amount of money that

1:08:21

can be given to this man

1:08:23

that can make up for how much

1:08:25

time he lost. I mean, he

1:08:27

was imprisoned for basically as long as

1:08:29

I've been alive. How

1:08:32

many people didn't get to

1:08:34

have him? How many experiences

1:08:36

was he and those people

1:08:38

robbed of? This

1:08:40

is another miscarriage of justice. I mean,

1:08:42

it's good that he got out. But

1:08:44

again, how is he ever

1:08:46

really gonna be able to adapt to

1:08:48

the world in full? I mean, he'll

1:08:50

do his best, but he's gonna need

1:08:52

so much assistance, so much help just

1:08:54

to be able to navigate out here

1:08:56

like a normal citizen. So it's not

1:08:58

like if you just give him a

1:09:00

bunch of money, he'll just be able

1:09:02

to pick right up and live like

1:09:04

a normal person. He's been in prison

1:09:06

for decades. So I

1:09:08

mean, he's never going to be able

1:09:10

to fully move past this, or maybe

1:09:13

he will. If he can, he's an

1:09:15

incredibly strong individual. But

1:09:17

he's got to be to have made it this

1:09:19

far. Yeah. I

1:09:21

have a saying that I

1:09:23

tell my college students when they're

1:09:25

searching for their message, what

1:09:27

are they going to do? And

1:09:29

I always say, if you

1:09:31

find your mess and you put

1:09:33

age on it, that

1:09:35

becomes your message. All

1:09:38

right, we got more on the

1:09:40

other side, indisputable, stick and stay. Well,

1:09:48

we got some news

1:09:50

people. In the

1:09:52

midst of tariffs and

1:09:54

- people who voted

1:09:56

for Trump losing

1:09:58

their businesses, their farms,

1:10:01

their car dealerships, their

1:10:04

money. Only

1:10:07

3 % of Trump

1:10:10

supporters regret voting

1:10:12

for Trump. That's according

1:10:14

to a CNN

1:10:16

analysis. Let's go to

1:10:18

it. I mean, this is

1:10:20

the big question, right? I hear all

1:10:22

these stories, all these articles, all the

1:10:24

Trump voters, they regret what they did

1:10:26

back in 2024. I'm here

1:10:28

to tell you, uh -uh, very few of

1:10:31

them regret what they did back in

1:10:33

2024. What are we talking about? Trump

1:10:35

voters looking back at 2024, we got

1:10:37

a new poll out. The poll was

1:10:39

conducted this month. What percentage would change

1:10:41

their vote to a different candidate? We're

1:10:43

talking just two. percent just two percent.

1:10:45

That's not even a wide spawn the

1:10:47

road. And then there's this additional one

1:10:49

percent who say they would rather not

1:10:51

vote. We're talking overall under five percent

1:10:53

might or would have changed their vote.

1:10:55

Does this look similar or different from

1:10:57

back in 2017 looking at 2016. Well

1:11:00

in February of 2017. 4%,

1:11:02

4 % of Trump voters say

1:11:04

they shift their vote. That's actually

1:11:06

slightly more than the 3 % this

1:11:08

time around. So you look back,

1:11:10

you say, okay, there's these Trump

1:11:12

voters who really regret their vote.

1:11:14

Historically speaking, they really don't regret

1:11:17

their vote. it

1:11:31

is a

1:11:33

fact in social

1:11:35

science. You

1:11:38

poll less than

1:11:40

1 % of

1:11:42

voters. Your

1:11:44

margin of error is

1:11:47

typically between 3 %

1:11:49

to 5%, maybe

1:11:51

more. And

1:11:53

you're talking to

1:11:55

Trump supporters. They're

1:11:58

not going to say, Yeah,

1:12:01

we regret it. I know we're only a couple

1:12:03

of months in. No,

1:12:05

no. Give them

1:12:08

a little more time. I

1:12:10

really don't buy the

1:12:12

numbers, but they really don't

1:12:14

matter at this point. These

1:12:17

are not predictions. Remember polls

1:12:19

are not predictions. It's just a

1:12:21

snapshot of a select group. So

1:12:24

CNN senior data

1:12:26

reporter Harry Enten shot

1:12:28

down the narrative. that

1:12:30

people who voted for President Donald Trump

1:12:33

are beginning to regret their decision months

1:12:35

into his presidency. Decided

1:12:37

the U of poll released this month

1:12:39

that showed that less than 5 %

1:12:41

of Trump voters would change their 2024

1:12:43

decision. According to the survey, 2 % would

1:12:45

change their vote to another candidate and

1:12:47

another 1 % would not vote. This

1:12:49

is when you look at the cross

1:12:51

tabs of the data. The

1:12:53

cross tabs of the data, how

1:12:55

did you weigh the polling data?

1:12:58

What was your percentage? How

1:13:00

did you weigh the

1:13:02

demographic data, including age,

1:13:05

race, gender, socioeconomic

1:13:08

background, et

1:13:10

cetera? Did you

1:13:12

over qualify African -American

1:13:14

males because they did

1:13:16

overperform in that

1:13:18

arena slightly, but you

1:13:21

have to now

1:13:23

overrepresent that in the

1:13:25

polling data, et

1:13:27

cetera? Okay. If

1:13:29

folks got to

1:13:31

be able to

1:13:33

redo their vote

1:13:36

that they had

1:13:38

back in 2024,

1:13:40

would the result be any different? I doubt

1:13:42

it would be, or

1:13:48

it would still be extremely

1:13:50

close. The bottom line is

1:13:52

all this talk of Trump

1:13:54

voters regretting their voters or their

1:13:56

vote in the numbers, it

1:13:58

really just doesn't show up. And

1:14:00

to say it, noting the

1:14:02

results for voters who supported then

1:14:04

Vice President Kamala Harris were

1:14:06

similar. Sir, you're starting to sound

1:14:08

like a Kool -Aid drinker. I'm

1:14:11

just talking to you, man, buddy to buddy. Quote,

1:14:15

the bottom line is, if

1:14:17

there's some idea out there

1:14:19

that Trump voters are going

1:14:21

around saying, man, I wish

1:14:23

I had voted for Kamala

1:14:26

Harris instead of Donald Trump.

1:14:28

And to say it, the

1:14:30

numbers say, that is a

1:14:32

fanciful universe, it

1:14:34

really, for the most part, does

1:14:36

not exist. Yeah,

1:14:39

you don't draw the collage. Sir,

1:14:43

one poll, you

1:14:46

have made all of these factual

1:14:49

conclusions a couple of months in.

1:14:53

The fact that

1:14:55

you're on

1:14:57

national news, Citing

1:15:00

a poll

1:15:02

of regret voters

1:15:04

two months

1:15:06

in to a

1:15:09

presidential administration

1:15:11

is the only

1:15:13

fact that

1:15:15

everyone needs to

1:15:17

remember. Have

1:15:19

you ever done it before? All

1:15:22

right, Jackson thoughts.

1:15:26

Well, it's not even just that,

1:15:28

but a lot of the

1:15:30

polls that have been taken on

1:15:32

like Trump voters or Republicans

1:15:34

feelings on the economy or how

1:15:36

he's handling this or how

1:15:38

he's handling that will show all

1:15:40

different types of things to

1:15:42

consider. So you're right, this is

1:15:44

just one poll. But at the

1:15:46

same time, Donald Trump does in terms

1:15:48

of that cult that he has,

1:15:50

he does have a solid portion. that

1:15:52

will never leave his side no

1:15:54

matter what and who we're gonna worship

1:15:56

him forevermore. But yeah,

1:15:59

overall, Donald Trump is not popular.

1:16:02

There's a lot of people who voted

1:16:04

for him, who in fact are not cult

1:16:06

members. And especially as

1:16:08

these next several years tick on

1:16:10

by, he's just gonna become

1:16:12

more and more unpopular because

1:16:14

he's just incapable of dealing with

1:16:16

anything. And more importantly than

1:16:18

incompetence, he doesn't care, He

1:16:20

doesn't care. So it's going get

1:16:23

worse for him. Yeah.

1:16:25

he's an actual real

1:16:27

life villain. All

1:16:30

right, Jackson, always a pleasure, dear

1:16:32

brother. Tell people how they can

1:16:34

follow you, check out your great

1:16:36

work. You're always good to

1:16:38

be here with you. Y 'all 'all can check

1:16:56

Remember, the truth is always indisputable. Indisputable

1:17:02

is still the fastest -growing new show

1:17:04

in America. We tell the truth

1:17:06

on indisputable because the truth is indisputable.

1:17:08

indisputable. Listen, no matter what you

1:17:10

do, don't allow the politics of ideology

1:17:13

to evaporate the soul that still

1:17:15

exists inside of you. They don't stop,

1:17:17

I don't stop. Racism won't stop,

1:17:19

I won't stop. Systemic bias won't stop,

1:17:21

I won't stop. People still need

1:17:23

criminal justice systems performed, so I won't

1:17:25

stop. You won't stop either.
