Richie. Good to be with you. We have

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

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
you better go and leave me alone. Am
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
nasty. Your hair is nasty.
36:05
We have a code
36:07
58 cackle of
36:09
Karen's once again put
36:11
it up for
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

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.
