slash Ben. Well, the country is in chaos. It's impossible to look at the images coming out of Kenosha, Wisconsin, and not feel that something is fundamentally broken in our society. Violence broke out again in Kenosha last night. I look forward to the statements of empathy from Vice President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

0:39.0

and from Governor Tony Evers.

0:41.3

What heard politicians on all sides of the Democratic Party discussing the evils of America,

0:45.9

the systemic racism of the United States, discussing the awful, terrible evil Kenosha

0:50.5

police department without full evidence being in the Jacob Blake shooting based on fragmentary video taken from a distance without any lead-up, without any understanding of what

0:59.7

exactly happened. Well, now there have been more shootings in Kenosha. There are businesses that

1:03.1

have burned down in Kenosha. It turns out that when you slander all police officers is systemically

1:07.7

racist, when you say the country is systemically racist, when you make excuses for rioters and looters and people who would do violent assault to other human beings,

1:14.8

when you do all of those things. And then you incentivize the police to move out. Well,

1:20.5

what happens to follow is quite terrible. Last night in Kenosha, three people were shot. I look forward

1:25.9

to the lamentations and empathy from all of these same democratic figures. Perhaps they will because it turns out that some of the people who were shot were some of the protesters. It turns out that according to various media reports and the information is still coming in. It is unclear who was shooting and who was shot. It appears that the quote protesters, who in this case were rioters and looters,

2:17.9

were shot and that some of the people who may have done the shooting may have been. It is unclear again at this point. People who are defending their, for example, car dealerships against looters who are attempting to loot those car dealerships. So perhaps the Democrats will sound off about that. We've seen some evidence of that so far already. If it is rioters or looters obviously doing the violence, that is a different thing. Then we will just not mention it or pretend that it doesn't exist or pretend that it is all justified. In any case, here is the New York Times report on what happened. And by the way, it is worthwhile noting the real reporting on the ground is being done by central right outlets. It's being done by the daily caller. It's being done by townhall.com. It is not, in fact, being done by anybody in the mainstream media who are just cribbing off the work of these right wing outlets mainly because it turns out that so

2:22.9

many of these insane mainstream left wing outlets have decided that it was totally not worth even

2:29.1

covering all of this stuff these worlds there's all just normal goings about a business. It was left to center

2:35.0

right out to actually cover what's going on on the ground. So according to the New York Times,

2:40.5

three people were shot early on Wednesday too fatally, according to law enforcement officials.

2:44.6

During a chaotic night of demonstrations over the shooting of Jacob Blake, a black resident

2:47.9

whose children were nearby as their father was shot this week by a white police officer. Now, they're not going to tell you the full story of Jacob Blake. There are new details that are emerging in the shooting of Jacob Blake. We'll discuss that in a moment because as it turns out, we now have a spate of high-profile police-involved shootings in which you have not been told the full story, or police killings in which you have not been told the full story. And then when new details emerge, it actually does extraordinary, extraordinary chaos to the original narrative that was trotted out by the media. We'll get to those in a second. According to the New York Times and Kenosha, a third night of protests over the shooting of Mr. Blake, I like third end of protest. It's not protest when you're burning crap and trying to wreck cars and sending things on fire. That's not a protest. That's a riot. And the media don't get to play this game where when President Trump condemns rioters and looters or when people on the right condemn rioters and looters, they say, ah, you're just trying to shut down First Amendment approved protest. And then as soon as you say, no, no, no, the protesters are different than the rioters and looters, they say, no, they're all part of the same group. Okay, well, you can't have it both ways. Either they are or they ain't. But people who are running around in the streets trying to break stuff and do violence to people are not, in fact, protesters. They're in fact rioters and looters and people who are violating criminal law. In Kenosha, a third night of protests over the shooting of Mr. Blake stretched into the early morning hours of Wednesday after demonstrators clashed with law enforcement officials near the county courthouse downtown.
