A couple big things to dive into. One, the removal of BLM Plaza from Washington D.C. it is a great thing. It is dismantled. It is a. I'll tell you this, I've got some friends in the D.C. in D.C. area, a lot of friends in D.C. actually, and some of them are into the real estate markets there in different ways. And D.C. it seems is on an upswing right now. Things are moving in the right direction as they are getting rid of radical left policies and getting rid of the BLM mural that had been. It's like a mural on the street. Essentially. It was two city blocks, two city blocks painted in 2020 and they are removing it. The mural spelling Black Lives Matter in bright yellow letters was at covered two blocks of 16th Street Northwest painted right away in June of 2020. Oh, right at the height of the panic. Oh my gosh, look there. One thing happened with one cop and one career criminal in one place. And now the whole country has to be in a state of race. Panic is horrible. And I, I will tell you, I am very proud that at the time I did not get taken in by any of that nonsense. That it was a moment of mass mobilization through mass hysteria, that people were constantly lying about and undermining police. And that the policies that came from this, the policies that resulted from BLM made a lot more people die. It was a net negative across the board. In fact, it disproportionately caused the deaths by depolicing. Also called the Ferguson effect. Another BLM reference, right? Remember Ferguson, Missouri, Mike Brown, Hands up, don't shoot. A lie. He charged a cop after a strong arms robbery. He was asked, you know, by the police. There was an exchange with that officer and the result was a fatal use of force. A justified fatal use of force there. And then neighborhoods burned down. And I think that's also where we got. It was an MSNBC guy. Maybe we could pull this up Fiery. But Mostly peaceful, right. It's fiery behind me, but mostly so they're burning down buildings. But there were people here hours ago, Democrats, Biden voters, who weren't lighting buildings on fire and looting them. And that was BLM 1.0, BLM 2.0, as we know, was involved Derek Chauvin and George Floyd. And this is. Now, I know this has become something that people are more focused in on. Some of my fellow conservative commentators have said that Trump should pardon Derek Chauvin. And to this I just say that would be justice, or rather that would be the just thing to do. But it wouldn't get him out of prison because of the state charges in Minnesota. And Minnesota has become a far left place, as you know, which is just a shame. Beautiful state, little cold in the winter. Beautiful state, though, and far too left wing in its politics. But yes, did, did Derek Chauvin. Was Derek Chauvin essentially a human sacrifice to the BLM mob? Yes, he was. I do not think he got a fair trial at all. I do not think that he committed murder at all. You can get into some of the specifics about police excessive force under the circumstances, but when you look at the toxicology reports, the guy had a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system and was having trouble breathing before there was any pressure applied to his, to his, you know, neck, shoulder, back area. And so here we are now able to speak honestly about this stuff in a way. I mean, I was speaking honestly about it then, but I mean, nationally, now the country is willing to look at this and say what exactly came from that, other than a lot of riots, a lot of destruction that improved anything for anyone. No, you had a massive spike. Let's not forget the, I think it was the biggest one year, year over year increase in the homicide rate in the 50 or so years that the FBI had been compiling national homicide statistics. So that's the legacy of blm, is a lot more people getting killed. And with a lot more people getting killed because of the de policing, because law enforcement is undermined from doing their jobs. Because as we know, one of the big problems the left has is they apply a disparate impact, which is also a legal philosophy that I think should be completely upended, dismembered and annihilated because it's, it's wrong, it's unethical, but it is something that people still use in legal theory. Disparate impact is, even if a law isn't on its face, racist, sexist, whatever, if it has results that we don't like as in who breaks that law and gets prosecuted. There must be something wrong with the law or there must be something inherently wrong in the system that's doing the prosecutions. This is just not true. This is faulty logic. And as I've made the argument, and Clay has now adopted this argument with, with, with success. We talk about this on the show. If you look at the disparate impact of murder laws on men and women, far more men commit murder than women. We don't say we need more women serving time for murder because that, that's what justice looks like. No, guys, we have more testosterone. We cause more violent crime by a 10 to 1 factor, essentially. So BLM looks at different neighborhoods, different cities and says, well, the police interactions with minority groups, predominantly black and Latino males aged 16 to 35 or 16 to 40 police, have a disparate impact on those communities. Therefore there must be racist policing. That's just the data doesn't actually support that. The data doesn't support that cops are racist. It supports that our police are overwhelmingly doing a very good job and America's police are something to be proud of. But BLM undermined that dramatically because it made some people on the left, some Democrats, feel good about, about themselves. You'll notice there's a trend here. There's the world as it is and then there's the world as Democrats wish it to be. And that's true in Ukraine as well. The straightforward good and bad. Even if the moral good and bad thing about Russia Ukraine is true, where does that get us for stopping the carnage and stopping the conflict and not getting drawn into a military conflict with a country that has thousands of nuclear weapons and millions and millions more men than it could. I think Russia has 6 or 7 million military age males they could throw into this conflict and they will if they have to. And we though are told, oh, but it's about good and evil. And Zelensky and he hangs out with the celebrities. Same thing about law enforcement. We know what works and what doesn't work. But Democrats like to pretend that the problem of violence in this country is not a problem of disproportionate violence within minority communities committed by minority men against other minority men. Which is the unassailable factual truth. They said the problem of violence is police violence. The problem of violence is racist systemic violence against black men of a certain age at the hands of the system. And that's just not true. Right? I mean, this is where the, the Washington Post started collecting data on, started collecting data on how many non. I'm trying to make, make sure that I get the specifics of it right. But how many black men are killed in America by law enforcement, Unarmed black men killed by law enforcement in the country in any given year. And the numbers which you ask liberals this, they think it's thousands. And in some years the number is more like 15 or 30. And yes, every life lost that shouldn't be lost, which is an important asterisk, meaning that you know is unjust. That's a tragedy. But just unarmed doesn't mean not a threat. Unarmed could be a guy trying to choke you out and grab your service revolver as a cop and you wrestle out of his hand and you realize if you don't shoot him, he's going to shoot you. That's an unarmed situation. Right. So that doesn't mean. But the liberals, the Democrats created this alternate universe to live in with this and the removal of BLM Plaza. I mean, the Black Lives Matter movement made everything worse for everyone in this country. And it was, it was full of corruption. I mean, the people that actually ran the movement as we know it was correct. Corruption and self dealing and buying houses for themselves, the whole thing. And it was a shakedown of corporations too. Oh, we need to give, we need to give more money to BLM or else we're racist. Right? The whole thing, it's all. They did nothing to help anybody, nothing to help their communities, nothing to help black Americans, nothing. It was all narrative. It was all the way. The Democrats want to see the country instead of seeing what's going on for what it is and taking actions that will help people. And that then brings me to. So what can be done in a place like D.C. for example, which has had far too much crime per capita in recent years. A lot of carjackings going on in D.C. if you want to make these places better, safer, you enforce the law and you have enough police with enough support to enforce the law. That's really it. It's very straightforward. In fact, it is so straightforward that you're starting to see and hear some Democrats come forward and go, you know what? Maybe waiting until the 50th arrest of some individual who's terrorizing their fellow human beings on the streets of New York or D.C. or Chicago or LA or wherever. Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, go down the list. Maybe the laws are enforced and the laws matter, irrespective of whatever the social justice organizations pretend is going on. Maybe that could make things better. You know who started to, started to lean into this already? Andrew Cuomo, he sees it, he understands. And this is, I think that, by the way, I know that this is you're talking New York mayor's race. We have a huge audience on worNYC and we thank all of you as always for listening. And you always have a special place in my heart, especially as I was broadcasting to all of you during the pandemic. But this is a national level story because you're starting to see whether it's Newsom or Cuomo, these Democrats, they, they don't think of themselves. They think of themselves as not a governor or a would be mayor. They think of themselves as the vying for the leadership of the national Democrat Party. Believe it or not, Gavin Newsom, they view themselves as historic figures in all of this people that will affect the future of the nation and with it the world. And if that sounds grandiose to you, good, because these guys are egomaniacs and this is how they view themselves. But you're starting to see whether it was Newsom talking about the trans ideology stuff or now Cuomo looking into the police in New York and what can be done there, they are going to forget about what was said in the past to some degree and they're going to start making moves towards sanity, not because they have converted, but because they are trying to fool, to fool the voters. We will, we will dive into that here in just just a moment. Over the weekend, President Trump's hostage envoy, Adam Bowler had direct talks with Hamas and said the group proposed a 5 to 10 year truce with Israel. As Israelis work hard to return to a life of normalcy, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews continues to support those in the Holy Land still facing the lingering horrors of war. This nonprofit organization helps thousands of Israelis each week. And your monthly gift of $45 will provide critically needed aid to communities in both the north and south devastated by the ongoing war. Clay witnessed this firsthand and he saw how your support is helping while he visited the country last December. There are bomb shelters, armored vehicles, food pantries. So many things going on that IFCJ is doing to help.
