| 0:00.0 | So good news. The left has hit on a hot new solution to supposed systemic racist brutality from American police departments. Disband the police. |
| 0:08.9 | This interesting notion has picked up steam in recent weeks. Leftists continue to label cops systemically racist. |
| 0:13.9 | So Jessica DeSue, who's a black activist, told Fox News as Megan Kelly the other night, quote, |
| 0:18.9 | we need to abolish the police, period. When asked by Megan Kelly, who would then protect black people, she answered, quote, we need to abolish the police, period. |
| 0:24.1 | When asked by Megan Kelly, who would then protect black people, she answered, quote, |
| 0:26.2 | we need to come up with community solutions. |
| 0:30.7 | The problem in high crime communities has been historically the lack of police. |
| 0:36.5 | And the community solution that usually rises in the wake of such a dearth of police is gangs murdering each other. |
| 0:38.2 | If people can't rely on the cops to keep the peace, they join a gang to ensure the threat of revenge if they're harmed. |

| 1:21.3 | executive order, hashtag defund police. What's the real agenda here? Well, it's twofold. First, |
| 1:26.3 | if you believe that the cops are, as Professor Melina Abdullah has said, an occupying force, the only solution is to end the occupation. Second, there's a deeper goal of removing the rule of law from the system because the system itself is supposedly corrupt. If the police are the enforcement arm for America, and if America's racist, the only way to fight American racism is to disband |
| 1:44.8 | the enforcement arm. What will spring up in its wake? Community solutions. Yay! A new society. |
