| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Crossroads. The fate of the so-called assault rifles. Well, they could soon be decided |
| 0:06.9 | the Supreme Court right now, hearing a big case at Denver over restrictions on the AR-15 |
| 0:12.5 | semi-oomatic rifle. By the way, AR does not mean assault rifle. It means arm-a-light, |
| 0:20.4 | but they're going after this because they say assault |
| 0:22.4 | rifles are kind of the big threat, which they're very rarely used in actual threats. Now, |
| 0:27.5 | the case could have a big sweeping effect on gun laws all across the nation, so get ready for it. |
| 0:32.7 | Meanwhile, President Trump federalized Washington, D.C. You might remember he was trying to fight crime there. |
| 0:39.3 | The opposing narrative was, why are you trying to fight crime when crime is not that bad? |
| 0:44.5 | Well, it turns out the crime was not that bad because they were not calling crime crime. |

| 1:19.1 | New York Times. It's a big case because if this case succeeds, you're probably going to see it |
| 1:24.2 | elsewhere. Because for a long time it's been relatively like legally |
| 1:28.6 | acceptable for some extent to discriminate against white people. It's going to be across the whole |
| 1:34.6 | country now. I'll be talking about these topics a lot more today. So don't forget to hit the |
| 1:39.6 | like button, leave a comment. Let's get started. First off in the chat, can let's see, canoe |
