We started the first hour with the biggest story, I would say, in the country right now. Despite the extensive efforts by the Democrat media to make this story go away, despite efforts by Wikipedia editors to remove the article from Wikipedia, despite all of that, because we have shows like this one and because we have X where there is not the left wing elbow on the scale all the time as there are on so many of these other social media platforms. And I'm curious, I've basically stopped using for anything other than just posting photos of Ginger or speed like Instagram and Facebook. I don't know if there's, I assume they're still doing the kind of political nonsense that they've always been doing. But at least on X you can share the truth. At least on X there's some chance of finding out what's really going on. And so this story of a Ukrainian refugee, Irina Zarutska, 23 years old, she's a beautiful young woman. On August 22, she is heinously murdered by a maniac with a knife sitting behind her. It's all on video. And it's just, it is true nightmare fuel. It's the worst kind of situation because any one of us can be sitting anywhere and there's supposed to be some belief that the system is protecting us. I know it doesn't. But we're supposed to believe at some level the system protects us. That dangerous psychopaths who have proven themselves over and over to be a danger to the public will be incarcerated, will no longer be able to threaten the general public. But what you see is that you have a situation like this where the alleged murderer Decarlos Brown, a black man who has been arrested 13 times, including assaults, previous assaults against women. This man murdered this woman. She's, she's a, you can see in the video, the video is just harrowing to watch. She's a blond haired white girl. And the media doesn't want to talk about this even though it's, it's all over the Internet. I mean it's, if you're judging it by Internet focus, this is the biggest story in the country right now. And one thing we talked about in that first hour and if you missed it, I would advise you Please go back and listen, because I really, I think, laid it out and got into all the different layers of the story. But one component of that is when is it indicative of a broad. When is an incident, let's put it this way, when is a murder national news? When is a murder national news? If it's particularly heinous, as this clearly was, you tend to think that maybe it will be national news. Depends on if it is a murder of a black person by a white person, that is also heinous. The chance of it being national News is essentially 100% right. It will turn into a story. In fact, it could just be a hoax hate crime, as we talked about with Jussie Smollett. But if it is alleged that two white Trump voters did something mean to a gay black man in Chicago, it's. It is Walthall coverage national news. This happens again and again. I understand we're not supposed to notice, but the Democrats war on noticing has gone on long enough. We've noticed. We get this. We understand this dynamic. When is something indicative of a broader problem that we have to have a national conversation about? I talk to you about all of the BLM cases. They'll discuss, oh, this is indicative of police and how police are racist and our society is racist. And you say, well, hold on. No, it's not. And first of all, in some of the BLM cases, it was completely lawful use of force. But put that aside, in what way does the elevation of George Floyd to near sainthood by the left, a career criminal who died of a fentanyl overdose with a cop with a knee on his back, his neck, in what way does that advance society's interest? It doesn't. By telling this story about, oh, it's that that one incident in Minnesota means there should be riots all over the country, race riots all over the country based on what? It's very rare for an unarmed black man to be killed by law enforcement in this country. Just a fact people can argue, but it's a fact very rare, by the numbers. And so why is it indicative of a broader conversation? You'll notice on the other side of things, why is it that when a white woman is murdered by a career criminal who is a black man, why is this not something that gets more attention? That is what everyone is asking right now. That is what the conversation is, at least among people that want to take a look at criminal justice with seriousness. And so that brings me to the story of the Ukrainian girl who was killed by this man who was, again, career Criminal should not have been on the streets. Judges saw that this was a problem. They decided not to act on it. This isn't even the only story like this out there right now. Again, this goes to our. When is it in, Dick? When is there a bigger problem? When is it a systemic failure versus it's just a thing, a random thing that happened, right? If somebody is walking their dog in my neighborhood and they are truly struck, and we get a lot of thunder lightning storms here, now they're struck by lightning. Do I do. Am I going to march out on the streets and be angry about thunder and lightning? No, it's. It's a horrible, random event. A sat. A sad event, tragic event. And I'd say, well, sometimes people get struck by lightning. You know, there's no systemic change to be had as a result of that other than, you know, try to not be out there in a really serious lightning storm. But, you know, who knows, right? Sometimes it's fine. Okay, so we had that story about the Ukrainian girl. This. This white Ukrainian girl, she's murdered by this guy. He's. He's a career criminal. He's a black guy. He was known to authorities for a long time. And. Okay, you say, well, Buck, that's. That's just one incident. Well, here's another incident from over the weekend. A. A beloved. This is from the New York Post. A beloved ex veterinary professor was hacked to death while walking her dog in an Alabama park where she took her pet to exercise almost daily. The killer stole her truck and fled, but was caught by cops a short distance away the next day. The body of Dr. Julie Schnewell, 59, a former professor of large animal medicine at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, was discovered in a wooded area on Saturday afternoon. The truck was recovered on Sunday. By the way, the dog. I'm like, cry even. This is a horrible story. It's such a tragedy. Dog was okay. The dog stayed by the owner's body the whole time. I'm. You know, dogs, amazing. You know, a gift from God for. For all of us who have dogs. But just. Anyway, so the guy arrested for this capital murder, Harold Rashad Dabney. A. He's a black man with a history of, you know, a history of crime. And so you sit there and you go, all right, is this now a story for the national media? Why not? It's heinous. Why isn't it a bigger thing? Isn't this, you know, you hear this old phrase for the. For the news media. If it bleeds, it leads Right. Horrible. But it's true. I mean, that's the way it generally goes. You turn on local news, on any given night, there's a shooting. That's usually the number one story in the local news, national news. Why isn't this a bigger story? Why isn't this situation something that we're supposed to have a national conversation about? I mean, here's another white woman who was stabbed to death by a black man and nobody wants to talk about it at cnn, msnbc, the New York Times, the Washington Post. Now you could just say, well, that's just about media focus, you know, because. So, so what's the takeaway from this? Because if it's just about the media focus and about. You're not supposed to notice that when.
