1
00:00:55,157 --> 00:00:56,091
Is the driver in there?

2
00:00:57,766 --> 00:00:58,685
Which one?

3
00:00:58,732 --> 00:01:00,036
That blue one over there.

4
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:03,068
Step out and face away.

5
00:01:03,337 --> 00:01:04,880
Please don't shoot me, Mr Officer!

6
00:01:04,905 --> 00:01:05,388
Please!

7
00:01:05,413 --> 00:01:06,427
Don't shoot me man!

8
00:01:06,452 --> 00:01:07,193
Step out and face away.

9
00:01:07,218 --> 00:01:07,988
Can you not shoot me man?!

10
00:01:08,013 --> 00:01:09,316
I'm not shooting you, step out and face away.

11
00:01:09,341 --> 00:01:10,342
Okay! Okay! Okay!

12
00:01:10,589 --> 00:01:11,152
Please!

13
00:01:11,659 --> 00:01:12,105
Please!

14
00:01:12,130 --> 00:01:12,693
Please, man!

15
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:13,922
Please!

16
00:01:14,186 --> 00:01:14,749
Please!

17
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:15,693
I didn't know, man!

18
00:01:16,341 --> 00:01:17,154
Get out of the car.

19
00:01:17,179 --> 00:01:18,387
I didn't know, Mr Officer!

20
00:01:24,723 --> 00:01:25,286
Hey!

21
00:01:25,890 --> 00:01:26,746
Stay in the car!

22
00:01:31,615 --> 00:01:32,815
Stop resisting then!

23
00:01:32,843 --> 00:01:33,553
I'm not!

24
00:01:34,013 --> 00:01:35,053
Yes, you are!

25
00:01:41,393 --> 00:01:42,593
I can't breathe...

26
00:01:46,573 --> 00:01:47,773
I can't breathe...

27
00:02:04,336 --> 00:02:07,079
Well, you got him down man! Let him breathe at least man!

28
00:02:07,104 --> 00:02:07,954
I can't breathe...

29
00:02:08,751 --> 00:02:09,602
I can't breathe...

30
00:02:22,923 --> 00:02:25,342
I have decided to do this video,

31
00:02:25,367 --> 00:02:27,967
it has been weighing very heavily on my heart.

32
00:02:28,227 --> 00:02:30,583
 I..uhm..want to come out and say,

33
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:36,140
that I do not support George Floyd and
the media depiction of him as a matyr for black america.

34
00:02:36,234 --> 00:02:37,857
I'm going to explain why,

35
00:02:37,882 --> 00:02:40,810
and I hope that some of you guys will understand where I'm coming from.

36
00:02:41,131 --> 00:02:43,677
I want to be clear
this is not a defense for Derek Chauvin.

37
00:02:43,825 --> 00:02:46,292
I hope Derek Chauvin gets the justice that...uhm...

38
00:02:46,513 --> 00:02:48,161
that he deserves to be...uhm...

39
00:02:48,345 --> 00:02:53,341
implimented upon him, and that
the family of George Floyd deserves justice.

40
00:02:53,632 --> 00:02:54,328
Okay

41
00:02:54,353 --> 00:02:56,032
Interview take two.

42
00:02:56,876 --> 00:02:58,805
Quiet all around please, we're rolling.

43
00:02:59,393 --> 00:03:01,165
It was just gut instinct you know,

44
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:03,547
It just felt like we were being told

45
00:03:03,633 --> 00:03:05,618
"Look over here"
"Look over here"

46
00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:10,226
and I guess part of personality is when I feel that way

47
00:03:10,251 --> 00:03:13,539
and somebody's going "Focus only here, only here, only here"

48
00:03:13,603 --> 00:03:14,696
I wanna know

49
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:17,063
 "Okay, but what about...over there?"

50
00:03:17,493 --> 00:03:19,579
And it wasn't personal,

51
00:03:20,141 --> 00:03:22,070
at least not in the beginning, it wasn't personal.

52
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:25,008
I would say, it certainly wasn't personal,

53
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:26,281
until,

54
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,422
{\an8}er...this video was just...

55
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:30,541
{\an8}it was just so disgusting.

56
00:03:30,642 --> 00:03:33,633
{\an8}but I think its important to understand

57
00:03:33,658 --> 00:03:38,774
{\an8}how easily people can be corrupted into saying
this type of disgusting nonsense.

58
00:03:39,105 --> 00:03:40,259
Candace Owens

59
00:03:40,512 --> 00:03:41,558
That rotten bitch.

60
00:03:41,629 --> 00:03:45,886
{\an8}If anybody is just gonna pretend to get their
feelings hurt about what we say about Candace Owens

61
00:03:45,996 --> 00:03:48,238
{\an8}I will laugh and laugh and laugh.

62
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:50,402
I don't care what this ****ker did!

63
00:03:50,427 --> 00:03:52,269
I don't care if he personally,

64
00:03:52,294 --> 00:03:55,644
kicked Candace Owens in her stinky pussy!

65
00:03:55,692 --> 00:03:58,254
I don't know if it stinks
but I imagine it does.

66
00:03:59,823 --> 00:04:01,097
Then that moment,

67
00:04:01,504 --> 00:04:02,675
it became personal.

68
00:04:02,754 --> 00:04:03,874
And I thought,

69
00:04:04,403 --> 00:04:06,670
not only am I gonna say the truth,

70
00:04:07,129 --> 00:04:11,105
I am going to scream the truth, louder than you can scream the lies.

71
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:13,736
"I never been so..."

72
00:04:13,761 --> 00:04:14,940
"...hurt inside."

73
00:04:14,965 --> 00:04:17,526
"this was the second time he exhibit that behavior."

74
00:04:17,715 --> 00:04:19,393
{\an8}"23/24 hours in the cell."

75
00:04:19,418 --> 00:04:22,211
"I have been a police officer for almost 4 decades..."

76
00:04:22,236 --> 00:04:24,477
{\an8}"Until the very breath, was squeezed out of him"

77
00:04:24,502 --> 00:04:26,462
"...that was the very last time I seen Floyd"

78
00:04:26,487 --> 00:04:29,658
{\an8}"if you sentence my son, you will also be sentencing..."

79
00:04:29,792 --> 00:04:31,633
"Everyday...everyday..."

80
00:04:31,658 --> 00:04:35,953
{\an8}"Justice is George Floyd, going home tonight."

81
00:04:38,187 --> 00:04:39,985
{\an8}You guys know him best so...

82
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:42,329
who was George Floyd?

83
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:54,974
Outside this grocery store,

84
00:04:54,999 --> 00:04:56,724
is now home for a memorial.

85
00:04:56,834 --> 00:04:57,967
We protest peacefully,

86
00:04:57,983 --> 00:04:59,139
kinda just helping each other out,

87
00:04:59,164 --> 00:05:00,764
and rallying together as a community.

88
00:05:00,789 --> 00:05:02,331
We need to stand together with each other.

89
00:05:02,457 --> 00:05:04,769
We're here to serve justice for injustice.

90
00:05:04,797 --> 00:05:05,675
Say his name.

91
00:05:05,708 --> 00:05:06,950
George Floyd!

92
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:08,777
Say it again

93
00:05:08,892 --> 00:05:10,214
Say his name!

94
00:05:10,372 --> 00:05:11,864
George Floyd!

95
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:14,208
Breaking news in South Minneapolis,

96
00:05:14,233 --> 00:05:16,500
the situation has become dangerous.

97
00:05:18,943 --> 00:05:20,858
"...breaching the gate at the 3rd Precinct."

98
00:05:21,030 --> 00:05:22,615
"We're getting calls they're blocking us in"

99
00:05:22,686 --> 00:05:23,951
"Is anyone copying this?"

100
00:05:25,899 --> 00:05:26,983
ALL LIVES MATTER!

101
00:05:27,096 --> 00:05:29,286
YOU WANT MORE OF YOUR PEOPLE TO DIE?!

102
00:05:29,871 --> 00:05:31,397
YOU COWARDS!

103
00:05:32,145 --> 00:05:34,653
"3rd Precinct has been compromised."

104
00:05:34,678 --> 00:05:36,560
"They're going to breach the barricade!"

105
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:40,013
"3rd Precinct is up in flames."

106
00:05:40,068 --> 00:05:42,622
"Minneapolis is waking up to
a lot of its buildings..."

107
00:05:42,646 --> 00:05:43,686
"...on fire."

108
00:05:43,724 --> 00:05:45,036
"We saw chaos just..."

109
00:05:45,061 --> 00:05:45,443
"...erupt."

110
00:05:45,475 --> 00:05:46,880
"Fires are still burning."

111
00:05:46,905 --> 00:05:48,881
"We're seeing looting throughout this city"

112
00:05:48,928 --> 00:05:51,068
"Bricks are being thrown at police officers"

113
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:54,958
"We're seeing increasing violence
amongst protestors throughout the country."

114
00:05:56,521 --> 00:05:59,982
"Cities are erupting into chaos and violence."

115
00:06:00,005 --> 00:06:01,950
"How long can you be peaceful..."

116
00:06:01,975 --> 00:06:03,489
"...when your people are dying?"

117
00:06:03,514 --> 00:06:06,200
"We're out here tryna' show them
that we're angry"

118
00:06:06,248 --> 00:06:08,092
"This is not just about George Floyd..."

119
00:06:08,117 --> 00:06:10,756
"its about everything thats happening in our world"

120
00:06:13,999 --> 00:06:15,999
For whatever reason,
it has become fashionable

121
00:06:16,023 --> 00:06:18,710
Over the last 5 or 6 years,

122
00:06:18,735 --> 00:06:21,812
for us to turn criminals into heroes overnight.

123
00:06:22,625 --> 00:06:24,898
And it is something I find to be despicable,

124
00:06:24,923 --> 00:06:28,187
and it is something that I refuse to stand by any longer,

125
00:06:28,203 --> 00:06:30,117
and I am not going to play a part in it.

126
00:06:30,142 --> 00:06:33,445
No matter how much pressure comes
from black liberals and black conservatives

127
00:06:33,516 --> 00:06:38,438
as some token of people wanting you to believe
that this is the only way you can be black

128
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:41,856
is you have to say "This was wrong and that this person was amazing."

129
00:06:41,881 --> 00:06:42,716
I won't do that.

130
00:06:42,741 --> 00:06:44,496
Why are we pretending that

131
00:06:44,521 --> 00:06:46,521
this criminal should be upheld

132
00:06:46,567 --> 00:06:47,607
as a citizen?

133
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:50,075
as a matyr?

134
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:51,123
in black america?

135
00:06:51,302 --> 00:06:53,802
a matyr for a fake narritive by the way.

136
00:06:54,456 --> 00:06:55,787
People were shocked.

137
00:06:56,108 --> 00:06:56,631
Right?

138
00:06:57,139 --> 00:07:00,537
They had all thrown themselves in, emotionally.

139
00:07:00,850 --> 00:07:02,256
Based on the media narritive,

140
00:07:02,281 --> 00:07:03,428
and they just sorta thought,

141
00:07:03,653 --> 00:07:05,496
"How could the media not have told us this?"

142
00:07:09,272 --> 00:07:13,840
So right now, I am researching Alvin and Theresa Scott.

143
00:07:13,865 --> 00:07:16,677
They were George Floyd's
last known roommates.

144
00:07:17,585 --> 00:07:20,694
And we basically just had
our producers reach out and say

145
00:07:21,210 --> 00:07:24,248
"We're working on a documentary pertaining to George Floyd."

146
00:07:24,491 --> 00:07:27,203
that was kinda the only infomation that we gave them,

147
00:07:27,228 --> 00:07:28,609
in the hopes that

148
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,758
saying my name

149
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:32,785
would not

150
00:07:32,810 --> 00:07:33,969
scare them away?

151
00:07:33,997 --> 00:07:36,325
At least from what I'm doing a cursory search

152
00:07:36,350 --> 00:07:38,590
there does not seem to be

153
00:07:38,615 --> 00:07:40,583
too much coverage on the roommates.

154
00:07:40,630 --> 00:07:41,169
Uhm...

155
00:07:41,466 --> 00:07:44,325
some pieces pertaining to
how they were feeling during the trial.

156
00:07:44,592 --> 00:07:46,392
Some international coverage.

157
00:07:46,677 --> 00:07:50,395
But I definately don't remember
these people being at the forefront.

158
00:07:50,505 --> 00:07:52,239
And he lived with them for...

159
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:53,419
...over 3 years.

160
00:07:53,559 --> 00:07:56,176
So, it would really interesting to see,

161
00:07:56,465 --> 00:07:57,925
what they have to say,

162
00:07:57,950 --> 00:07:58,395
if...

163
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:01,176
...they speak to me and don't slam the door at my face.

164
00:08:04,241 --> 00:08:05,178
Fingers crossed.

165
00:08:08,413 --> 00:08:09,288
{\an8}Hello I'm...

166
00:08:09,499 --> 00:08:12,436
{\an8}Alvin Manago, and I'm George Floyd's

167
00:08:12,468 --> 00:08:13,623
{\an8}previous roommate.

168
00:08:13,648 --> 00:08:15,748
{\an8}Prior to the death.

169
00:08:16,273 --> 00:08:18,639
{\an8}This is our house and uhm...

170
00:08:19,194 --> 00:08:20,975
{\an8}Give you a little walkthrough and uhm...

171
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,842
{\an8}tell you a little bit about our relationship, me and Floyd.

172
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:39,691
yeah and err...

173
00:08:39,716 --> 00:08:41,503
this is us on 4th of July...

174
00:08:41,565 --> 00:08:42,093
err...

175
00:08:42,538 --> 00:08:44,080
2017

176
00:08:44,605 --> 00:08:46,538
and these are our co-workers.

177
00:08:46,582 --> 00:08:51,628
We both worked together at the Conga Lounge in Minneapolis, Minnesota

178
00:08:52,035 --> 00:08:53,948
And th-thats Floyd right here.

179
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:57,101
They never forgot him because he was a...

180
00:08:57,126 --> 00:08:58,142
a people person.

181
00:08:58,167 --> 00:09:02,925
He'd socialize and the kids was always all
looking up like "Wow, that guy is pretty tall"

182
00:09:02,956 --> 00:09:04,182
Floyd was about 6'7"

183
00:09:04,698 --> 00:09:05,869
So we can uhm...

184
00:09:05,970 --> 00:09:08,893
head upstairs and I'll show you where Floyd room was.

185
00:09:08,994 --> 00:09:13,267
Mentioned we were roommates but, when I first moved here it was just me and Floyd.

186
00:09:13,431 --> 00:09:16,446
And er, Theresa later on moved in with us.

187
00:09:16,861 --> 00:09:17,821
This was his room.

188
00:09:18,134 --> 00:09:19,923
Much bigger, biggest room in the house

189
00:09:19,955 --> 00:09:21,555
and he was a big guy so <i>heh</i>

190
00:09:22,548 --> 00:09:24,228
err he always enjoyed it

191
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:27,212
the difference was-was like he had a desk right here.

192
00:09:27,877 --> 00:09:30,493
And the only thing he always kept right there was,

193
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:32,439
either his bible and...

194
00:09:33,571 --> 00:09:35,171
He smoked cigarettes

195
00:09:35,196 --> 00:09:36,957
and that was the only thing you'd see on his desk.

196
00:09:37,060 --> 00:09:38,434
We had some good moments here.

197
00:09:38,459 --> 00:09:40,310
It was like we lived together almost err...

198
00:09:40,379 --> 00:09:40,879
I guess...

199
00:09:41,067 --> 00:09:43,762
It was about 4 1/2 years almost 5 years.

200
00:09:44,785 --> 00:09:48,042
Him and Theresa often read the bible together

201
00:10:57,033 --> 00:10:58,134
Hello, how are you?

202
00:10:58,241 --> 00:10:59,853
Hi, very nice to meet you Alvin.

203
00:11:00,535 --> 00:11:01,650
{\an8}Hey Theresa, how are you?

204
00:11:03,288 --> 00:11:04,420
So you guys in--

205
00:11:04,445 --> 00:11:06,491
in many ways, were some of the people

206
00:11:06,516 --> 00:11:08,196
that were the closest to him.

207
00:11:08,543 --> 00:11:09,543
Yes.

208
00:11:09,613 --> 00:11:12,128
And I don't remember seeing your faces on the news,

209
00:11:12,153 --> 00:11:14,220
or anybody talking to you so...

210
00:11:14,496 --> 00:11:15,722
I guess lets just start with that.

211
00:11:15,747 --> 00:11:16,230
uhm...

212
00:11:16,863 --> 00:11:18,581
When was the first time you met George?

213
00:11:20,754 --> 00:11:21,753
I first met him...

214
00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:22,363
err...

215
00:11:22,390 --> 00:11:23,390
in 2017.

216
00:11:24,472 --> 00:11:26,472
We'd end up knowing each other...

217
00:11:26,510 --> 00:11:27,917
he was in the treatment center,

218
00:11:27,942 --> 00:11:30,456
and err...I actually had a--was there too.

219
00:11:30,613 --> 00:11:32,680
But I was there for the alcohol,

220
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:34,738
and he was having problems with the pain pills.

221
00:11:35,348 --> 00:11:38,496
When we met, we was unaware that this was a--

222
00:11:39,035 --> 00:11:41,074
that we both was in the same situation.

223
00:11:41,122 --> 00:11:42,402
So you guys met,

224
00:11:42,473 --> 00:11:44,629
and then you figured out you both
were going to the same treatment center.

225
00:11:44,645 --> 00:11:47,332
And I think did that probably establish an instant connection

226
00:11:47,364 --> 00:11:48,254
between you two?

227
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:48,848
Yeah, cause you know,

228
00:11:48,998 --> 00:11:52,434
during that time you talk about a lot of things
that led you to where you were.

229
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:55,772
And you get an idea of who the persons that are around you.

230
00:11:55,796 --> 00:11:57,476
Y'know more one on one.

231
00:11:57,546 --> 00:12:00,241
And he was real open about,

232
00:12:01,452 --> 00:12:02,889
things he was going through,

233
00:12:03,060 --> 00:12:04,740
what he wanted to be,

234
00:12:04,765 --> 00:12:06,698
his whole dream was to...

235
00:12:07,118 --> 00:12:08,798
...get his life together.

236
00:12:09,513 --> 00:12:10,793
Have a good job.

237
00:12:11,317 --> 00:12:14,145
Be able to take care of his daughter as well as his family.

238
00:12:14,177 --> 00:12:15,857
He wanted a fresh start.

239
00:12:15,882 --> 00:12:16,958
He wanted to do better.

240
00:12:17,005 --> 00:12:18,231
And he happens to run into you,

241
00:12:18,747 --> 00:12:20,278
and this is a beautiful home.

242
00:12:33,152 --> 00:12:34,128
Addiction is hard.

243
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:34,636
Yes.

244
00:12:34,661 --> 00:12:35,605
Its fullstop hard.

245
00:12:35,652 --> 00:12:36,091
Right.

246
00:12:36,153 --> 00:12:36,668
And...

247
00:12:36,716 --> 00:12:37,059
But...

248
00:12:37,138 --> 00:12:37,457
Y'know...

249
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:38,848
Family is different.

250
00:12:38,895 --> 00:12:41,075
It's a different part of them.

251
00:12:41,504 --> 00:12:43,691
So the struggles that they may be facing out on the street,

252
00:12:43,716 --> 00:12:46,629
is just not something that they ever want to bring to their doormat.

253
00:12:53,325 --> 00:12:55,125
Sometimes a little urge to...

254
00:12:55,653 --> 00:12:58,239
...get something stronger to kill the pain,

255
00:12:59,237 --> 00:13:00,237
took over and--

256
00:13:00,380 --> 00:13:01,380
but he--

257
00:13:02,388 --> 00:13:03,778
he always fought against that.

258
00:13:32,924 --> 00:13:33,709
{\an8}That's interesting though.

259
00:13:33,734 --> 00:13:35,139
Because what you're saying is that

260
00:13:35,178 --> 00:13:38,685
So that night he just--he did--whatever
they told him to do because he knew

261
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:41,377
{\an8}that not complying would end really bad.

262
00:13:47,196 --> 00:13:47,681
But what about--

263
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,470
Do you think that if he had complied,

264
00:13:51,572 --> 00:13:53,993
cause I'm sure you guys have seen the full tape by now, right?

265
00:13:54,665 --> 00:13:56,915
You must be thinking whadda, cudda, shudda...

266
00:13:57,291 --> 00:13:59,212
If he had that mentality going into it

267
00:13:59,228 --> 00:14:01,009
"Let me just do what they're saying"

268
00:14:01,907 --> 00:14:04,808
cause it's just such an escalation
when you see the full tape of

269
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:09,501
yeah he's not--maybe he's not feeling too good but

270
00:14:09,595 --> 00:14:12,395
yeah, then he's like "Put me on the ground"

271
00:14:12,415 --> 00:14:13,938
when he says "Put me on the ground"

272
00:14:23,001 --> 00:14:24,444
Do you ever look at it and go,

273
00:14:24,874 --> 00:14:27,554
Man, I wish that time he had taken--just taken his own advice

274
00:14:27,579 --> 00:14:30,788
and just been like "Okay guys, take me wherever you want to take me"

275
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:31,311
Yes, yes, yes.

276
00:14:31,359 --> 00:14:32,280
Do you think that,

277
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:35,296
a lot people maybe came out of the woodwork

278
00:14:35,765 --> 00:14:36,804
because there was

279
00:14:36,936 --> 00:14:38,056
an opportunity

280
00:14:39,444 --> 00:14:41,452
to grand stand, to be on stage, to...

281
00:14:42,093 --> 00:14:43,928
a lot of money got thrown around

282
00:14:43,953 --> 00:14:46,827
which is part of what I'm exploring
in this documentary

283
00:14:47,086 --> 00:14:49,335
Black Lives Matter Global Network came out and said

284
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,468
"We raised 90 million plus dollars"

285
00:14:51,484 --> 00:14:53,038
and they did this with his face.

286
00:14:53,155 --> 00:14:56,639
Just his face or saying you had some sort of association with him,

287
00:14:56,828 --> 00:14:57,609
could have gotten--

288
00:14:58,064 --> 00:15:00,116
could have garnered a lot of people money.

289
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:02,312
Do you think that people took advantage of him?

290
00:15:03,140 --> 00:15:03,476
Is...

291
00:15:03,531 --> 00:15:03,905
Is...

292
00:15:03,930 --> 00:15:04,835
like they...

293
00:15:05,015 --> 00:15:06,015
they uhm...

294
00:15:06,648 --> 00:15:07,688
they use it...

295
00:15:08,405 --> 00:15:11,570
as a--whatchu said--a way of funding whatever they...

296
00:15:12,336 --> 00:15:13,696
motivation was...

297
00:15:14,695 --> 00:15:17,171
and sometimes when I went to the George Floyd memorial,

298
00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:22,390
it was different individuals going around there
saying "Donations for this/for Floyd/for this"

299
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:25,796
And you didn't know where they was coming from,

300
00:15:25,821 --> 00:15:27,327
you got a little metal box

301
00:15:27,701 --> 00:15:30,374
and "I don't know who you are or where is this going."

302
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,513
{\an8}Y'know to meet with president and the vice president,

303
00:15:39,538 --> 00:15:42,193
{\an8}and for them to share their concerns to our family,

304
00:15:42,685 --> 00:15:45,085
{\an8}and for them to actually give an ear,

305
00:15:45,373 --> 00:15:46,573
{\an8}to our concerns,

306
00:15:46,857 --> 00:15:48,427
{\an8}and how we feel on the situation.

307
00:15:48,451 --> 00:15:50,560
{\an8}And I have to be strong,

308
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,857
{\an8}because thats what he would want me to do

309
00:16:10,777 --> 00:16:11,942
Four years now.

310
00:16:12,551 --> 00:16:12,911
He just--

311
00:16:13,028 --> 00:16:14,200
They never wanted his stuff?

312
00:16:14,208 --> 00:16:15,903
{\an8}I mean I would think that if my son--

313
00:16:25,865 --> 00:16:27,325
{\an8}That was my oldest brother.

314
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:28,350
{\an8}I loved him.

315
00:16:29,044 --> 00:16:30,614
{\an8}I'm never gonna get my brother back

316
00:16:31,684 --> 00:16:33,551
I would like to just like see him one day,

317
00:16:33,576 --> 00:16:35,091
just meet his daughter

318
00:16:35,116 --> 00:16:36,145
because its like,

319
00:16:36,170 --> 00:16:37,850
thats an extension of him.

320
00:16:38,966 --> 00:16:41,114
{\an8}just to be proud to just to see one time.

321
00:17:09,402 --> 00:17:10,941
{\an8}You guys, thank you so much.

322
00:17:11,027 --> 00:17:13,472
{\an8}What a pleasure to sit here and talk to you guys.

323
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:15,027
{\an8}It was just absolutely amazing.

324
00:17:47,889 --> 00:17:50,919
You imagine how absolutely traumatized that child was.

325
00:17:52,005 --> 00:17:53,231
And then you think to yourself,

326
00:17:54,443 --> 00:17:55,708
just a few years later,

327
00:17:57,278 --> 00:17:58,380
you will have children,

328
00:17:58,848 --> 00:18:00,185
that are wearing his shirt.

329
00:18:01,099 --> 00:18:02,443
Refering to him as a hero.

330
00:18:03,184 --> 00:18:03,950
As some sort of...

331
00:18:04,071 --> 00:18:04,599
...savior.

332
00:18:07,832 --> 00:18:08,536
That's wrong.

333
00:18:09,365 --> 00:18:10,098
It's not right at all.

334
00:18:10,418 --> 00:18:11,083
And...

335
00:18:11,919 --> 00:18:13,356
it was this case,

336
00:18:13,966 --> 00:18:15,231
that I couldn't stay quiet on.

337
00:18:15,755 --> 00:18:16,888
And I had to make that video.

338
00:18:17,903 --> 00:18:22,388
In 1998, he spent 10 months in prison, for theft with a firearm.

339
00:18:22,529 --> 00:18:26,754
In 2002, he spent 8 months in prison for a cocaine offence.

340
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,786
In 2004, just two years later,

341
00:18:28,811 --> 00:18:32,286
he spent another 10 months in prison for a cocaine offence.

342
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:33,334
By the way, I am not saying that,

343
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,857
if you have a record that you don't deserve a second chance.

344
00:18:35,882 --> 00:18:38,209
But I do draw the line when it comes to

345
00:18:38,366 --> 00:18:38,607
2nd

346
00:18:38,632 --> 00:18:38,795
3rd

347
00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:38,975
4th

348
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:39,412
5th

349
00:18:39,437 --> 00:18:39,725
6th

350
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:39,920
7th

351
00:18:39,945 --> 00:18:40,123
8th

352
00:18:40,155 --> 00:18:41,529
and 9th chances.

353
00:18:42,389 --> 00:18:44,037
Two things can be true at once.

354
00:18:44,678 --> 00:18:46,038
You can both say,

355
00:18:46,444 --> 00:18:46,826
that...

356
00:18:47,123 --> 00:18:49,130
George Floyd didn't deserve to die.

357
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,037
No matter how you believed he died.

358
00:18:51,047 --> 00:18:52,727
Nobody deserves to die.

359
00:18:53,272 --> 00:18:54,076
In my opinion.

360
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:56,084
And you can also say,

361
00:18:56,389 --> 00:18:57,909
that objectively...

362
00:18:58,436 --> 00:18:59,467
this person...

363
00:18:59,631 --> 00:19:00,693
that did die...

364
00:19:00,944 --> 00:19:01,732
was not a saint.

365
00:19:02,272 --> 00:19:04,053
This person was not an angel.

366
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,646
Okay so, my producer just sent me...

367
00:19:08,365 --> 00:19:09,014
a link

368
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:10,365
and a minute mark,

369
00:19:10,405 --> 00:19:14,279
for George Floyd's 2019 arrest, which I haven't seen.

370
00:19:14,452 --> 00:19:17,232
So I'm about to watch it for the first time.

371
00:19:34,580 --> 00:19:35,095
Okay.

372
00:19:35,674 --> 00:19:37,689
This is super interesting because...

373
00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:41,212
He's saying "Momma" again,

374
00:19:41,486 --> 00:19:45,064
And obviously, I know that throughout the trial,

375
00:19:45,088 --> 00:19:46,208
his girlfriend...

376
00:19:46,392 --> 00:19:48,673
testified that he calls her "Momma"

377
00:19:48,697 --> 00:19:51,142
And the media made such a big deal saying that,

378
00:19:51,533 --> 00:19:53,697
"When he died, he cried out for his Momma"

379
00:19:54,181 --> 00:19:56,634
And they clearly misinterpreted that because...

380
00:19:56,978 --> 00:20:01,259
this 2019 arrest, he's once again saying "I want Momma"

381
00:20:01,775 --> 00:20:03,657
so that seems pretty clear that he's talking about...

382
00:20:04,626 --> 00:20:05,438
his girlfriend.

383
00:20:05,681 --> 00:20:07,415
And he's not crying out for his mother

384
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,532
which was a nice...

385
00:20:08,955 --> 00:20:09,821
victim narritive.

386
00:20:10,337 --> 00:20:11,461
{\an8}You and Floyd.

387
00:20:11,705 --> 00:20:12,829
{\an8}Mr Floyd, excuse me.

388
00:20:13,259 --> 00:20:14,923
{\an8}I'm assuming like most couples...

389
00:20:14,994 --> 00:20:16,927
{\an8}had pet names for each other?

390
00:20:17,033 --> 00:20:17,595
{\an8}Yes

391
00:20:18,126 --> 00:20:19,860
{\an8}And what were you saved in his phone as?

392
00:20:22,275 --> 00:20:23,275
{\an8}Momma

393
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:29,031
What's crazy in the retrospect is to realize that...

394
00:20:29,422 --> 00:20:30,664
everybody reacted.

395
00:20:31,821 --> 00:20:33,859
Nobody knew who George Floyd was.

396
00:20:34,196 --> 00:20:34,859
But also,

397
00:20:35,266 --> 00:20:37,227
nobody knew who Derek Chauvin was.

398
00:20:51,685 --> 00:20:52,574
Literally nothing.

399
00:20:54,809 --> 00:20:56,285
And my heart breaks for her obviously.

400
00:20:56,301 --> 00:20:59,730
Like hearing...like she's obviously just devastated

401
00:21:00,402 --> 00:21:00,777
But...

402
00:21:00,894 --> 00:21:03,605
she's being told by his lawyer to say absolutely nothing.

403
00:21:03,629 --> 00:21:05,184
So she's not gonna come on camera.

404
00:21:05,208 --> 00:21:06,293
She's not gonna participate.

405
00:21:06,754 --> 00:21:09,801
He's not gonna come on camera or participate
because they have a pending appeal.

406
00:21:09,926 --> 00:21:13,098
And my frustration, and what I expressed to her is I'm just like...

407
00:21:13,614 --> 00:21:18,566
So your strategy for the appeal is the same thing
that your strategy was during the entire trial.

408
00:21:18,637 --> 00:21:19,020
Silence

409
00:21:19,045 --> 00:21:20,395
Allow the media to tell the story.

410
00:21:20,934 --> 00:21:21,543
I said to her

411
00:21:21,568 --> 00:21:22,340
I literally said

412
00:21:23,231 --> 00:21:26,402
"This might be the only opportunity, that you guys have"

413
00:21:26,989 --> 00:21:28,660
"You've already lost in the court of public opinion"

414
00:21:28,770 --> 00:21:30,449
"So, how is it going to hurt you..."

415
00:21:30,473 --> 00:21:31,277
He's lost, right?

416
00:21:31,426 --> 00:21:32,902
"How is it going to hurt you..."

417
00:21:32,927 --> 00:21:36,152
"to allow his voice to be heard and to tell the story from his side?"

418
00:21:37,660 --> 00:21:38,284
Nothing

419
00:21:38,582 --> 00:21:41,878
The lawyer is running the show and I think its the worst strategy.

420
00:21:42,847 --> 00:21:45,776
There's just no way he's gonna win in the court
of public opinion by just saying nothing.

421
00:21:47,964 --> 00:21:50,027
Super frustrating, but thats a dead end.

422
00:21:50,902 --> 00:21:51,987
I can't imagine...

423
00:21:52,206 --> 00:21:53,440
raising up a child,

424
00:21:53,503 --> 00:21:54,339
and loving a child,

425
00:21:54,355 --> 00:21:55,854
and knowing who he is.

426
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:57,784
And watching the media...

427
00:21:58,167 --> 00:21:59,463
in virtually,

428
00:21:59,534 --> 00:22:00,448
minutes.

429
00:22:00,682 --> 00:22:05,229
Be able to strip to that person of their identity
and to create a new identity for them.

430
00:22:06,237 --> 00:22:07,041
I felt her pain.

431
00:22:08,018 --> 00:22:08,299
I did.

432
00:22:08,448 --> 00:22:08,940
I just...

433
00:22:08,971 --> 00:22:11,518
I felt her pain and I felt that...

434
00:22:12,346 --> 00:22:14,680
the only thing we could offer to do...

435
00:22:15,151 --> 00:22:15,760
was...

436
00:22:15,956 --> 00:22:17,018
to expand.

437
00:22:17,393 --> 00:22:20,057
On who Derek Chauvin actually was.

438
00:22:20,815 --> 00:22:21,573
People were...

439
00:22:22,136 --> 00:22:23,416
were taking a picture,

440
00:22:24,003 --> 00:22:25,596
a--not even a picture, a still.

441
00:22:25,779 --> 00:22:26,448
From a video.

442
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,145
And saying,

443
00:22:29,263 --> 00:22:29,677
Satan

444
00:22:30,684 --> 00:22:31,730
This is your Satan.

445
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,958
People were taking...

446
00:22:34,535 --> 00:22:35,349
a...

447
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,680
a storyline...

448
00:22:36,872 --> 00:22:37,825
that was given to them.

449
00:22:37,966 --> 00:22:38,622
From the media.

450
00:22:38,771 --> 00:22:39,513
And saying,

451
00:22:39,747 --> 00:22:40,255
"Here it is"

452
00:22:40,685 --> 00:22:41,856
"George Floyd, he's your hero."

453
00:22:42,091 --> 00:22:42,528
"That's it"

454
00:22:42,553 --> 00:22:43,231
"That's the story"

455
00:22:43,708 --> 00:22:44,169
"The End"

456
00:22:45,396 --> 00:22:45,919
It's insane.

457
00:22:51,608 --> 00:22:52,309
You

458
00:22:52,334 --> 00:22:53,364
You know

459
00:22:53,389 --> 00:22:53,926
You know Derek

460
00:22:53,951 --> 00:22:54,584
You know Derek Chauvin.

461
00:22:55,342 --> 00:22:55,701
I do.

462
00:22:56,201 --> 00:22:58,724
{\an8}I was Minneapolis Police Officer for 31 years.

463
00:22:58,912 --> 00:23:02,420
Is it the same Derek Chauvin the media
has introduced the world to?

464
00:23:02,514 --> 00:23:03,209
Not at all.

465
00:23:04,343 --> 00:23:05,927
Derek is...

466
00:23:06,358 --> 00:23:06,802
quiet.

467
00:23:07,975 --> 00:23:08,904
Somewhat quirky.

468
00:23:09,763 --> 00:23:10,670
Not a big guy.

469
00:23:11,553 --> 00:23:12,396
Very dependable.

470
00:23:12,967 --> 00:23:14,295
Shows up to work everyday.

471
00:23:14,646 --> 00:23:18,240
Derek is the kind of guy that you want
to show up on your calls with you.

472
00:23:18,795 --> 00:23:19,763
He's very level-headed.

473
00:23:21,897 --> 00:23:22,162
{\an8}Derek...

474
00:23:23,081 --> 00:23:25,893
{\an8}When I first supervised Derek, I was a Sergeant.

475
00:23:26,065 --> 00:23:28,276
{\an8}And I was running a unit for Homeland Security.

476
00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:30,104
Derek got assigned unto my unit.

477
00:23:30,526 --> 00:23:32,705
And at the time, he was living with his mom.

478
00:23:33,565 --> 00:23:36,518
Which I thought was admirable that
he wanted to help take care of his mom.

479
00:23:37,534 --> 00:23:38,791
{\an8}Derek is a quiet,

480
00:23:39,659 --> 00:23:40,315
{\an8}thoughtful,

481
00:23:41,003 --> 00:23:41,744
{\an8}honorable,

482
00:23:41,940 --> 00:23:42,557
{\an8}and self...

483
00:23:43,581 --> 00:23:44,752
{\an8}selfless man.

484
00:23:46,189 --> 00:23:47,268
{\an8}He has a big heart.

485
00:23:48,228 --> 00:23:51,399
{\an8}And he always has put others before his own.

486
00:23:52,392 --> 00:23:53,064
He was...

487
00:23:53,111 --> 00:23:55,821
kind've a guy that was a little more of a loner.

488
00:23:56,517 --> 00:23:56,931
uhm...

489
00:23:57,533 --> 00:24:00,462
Y'know some probably would have
considered him socially awkward.

490
00:24:00,634 --> 00:24:02,079
You described him as 'Quirky'

491
00:24:02,104 --> 00:24:04,915
and somebody else kinda described him in that same way

492
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:05,971
what did you mean by that?

493
00:24:06,494 --> 00:24:07,165
Kinda quiet.

494
00:24:07,447 --> 00:24:08,236
Introverted.

495
00:24:08,486 --> 00:24:12,252
Sometimes he wears his like--his uniform pants a little high on his boots.

496
00:24:12,557 --> 00:24:12,963
uhm...

497
00:24:13,229 --> 00:24:13,900
Just that way.

498
00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:14,518
Y'know--

499
00:24:14,536 --> 00:24:16,385
Maybe not the quarterback of the football team.

500
00:24:16,246 --> 00:24:17,940
Not the quarterback of the football team.

501
00:24:18,221 --> 00:24:21,018
Did he ever have any issues with other police officers?

502
00:24:21,034 --> 00:24:22,150
Was there ever any...

503
00:24:22,182 --> 00:24:24,322
any signs that he was particularly violent

504
00:24:24,338 --> 00:24:26,306
or had issues with people because of...

505
00:24:26,541 --> 00:24:27,384
their skin color?

506
00:24:27,416 --> 00:24:27,775
No.

507
00:24:27,947 --> 00:24:28,369
Never.

508
00:24:28,869 --> 00:24:29,142
Nope.

509
00:24:29,267 --> 00:24:30,462
That is not the Derek I knew.

510
00:24:31,486 --> 00:24:32,352
And I--

511
00:24:32,377 --> 00:24:33,259
I--

512
00:24:33,283 --> 00:24:34,330
I don't believe...

513
00:24:34,517 --> 00:24:34,916
what...

514
00:24:35,386 --> 00:24:36,337
people are saying...

515
00:24:37,861 --> 00:24:38,509
It's made up.

516
00:24:38,971 --> 00:24:39,564
It's not true

517
00:24:40,705 --> 00:24:42,439
When you sentence my son...

518
00:24:44,236 --> 00:24:46,423
you will also be sentencing me.

519
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:50,819
Plus, the fact when he is released...

520
00:24:52,135 --> 00:24:55,267
his father and I most likely will not be...

521
00:24:55,911 --> 00:24:56,314
here.

522
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,465
Where is Derek today?

523
00:25:01,270 --> 00:25:03,223
Derek is at Oak Park Heights Prison.

524
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:06,489
He sits in a cell for 23/24 hours a day.

525
00:25:07,388 --> 00:25:07,731
He...

526
00:25:08,060 --> 00:25:09,278
does not have any...

527
00:25:09,858 --> 00:25:10,684
reading materials,

528
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:11,262
no TV,

529
00:25:11,287 --> 00:25:12,028
no computer,

530
00:25:12,044 --> 00:25:13,731
no nothing, he just sits in a cell.

531
00:25:14,583 --> 00:25:15,075
And...

532
00:25:15,411 --> 00:25:15,911
And thats it.

533
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,465
You sit and look at the four walls in your cell,

534
00:25:19,490 --> 00:25:20,465
every single day.

535
00:25:20,801 --> 00:25:23,645
What was your initial reaction when you saw that video?

536
00:25:23,661 --> 00:25:24,559
In terms of,

537
00:25:25,036 --> 00:25:26,247
looking up and seeing "Hey!"

538
00:25:26,817 --> 00:25:28,340
"That's Derek Chauvin, I know that guy!"

539
00:25:28,849 --> 00:25:31,348
He's somebody that would be
hard to read for most people.

540
00:25:32,622 --> 00:25:33,480
But--

541
00:25:33,505 --> 00:25:34,715
But, nice guy.

542
00:25:35,270 --> 00:25:37,840
So when you looked up at his face, you didn't see a monster.

543
00:25:37,865 --> 00:25:38,848
You just saw...

544
00:25:39,427 --> 00:25:40,075
Derek,

545
00:25:40,724 --> 00:25:43,012
looking like as Derek has always looked,

546
00:25:43,981 --> 00:25:45,661
and the media perhaps...

547
00:25:46,130 --> 00:25:47,044
reading into it.

548
00:25:47,068 --> 00:25:47,435
They--

549
00:25:47,460 --> 00:25:48,058
They--

550
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:50,163
They read into something that was not there.

551
00:25:50,358 --> 00:25:52,280
That is not the Derek that I knew.

552
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:55,249
All of our department was painted with that same brush.

553
00:25:56,218 --> 00:25:56,936
Which is unfair.

554
00:25:57,202 --> 00:25:57,693
And its...

555
00:25:58,210 --> 00:25:59,077
its a lot of false narratives.

556
00:26:00,124 --> 00:26:01,124
Because we have a good department.

557
00:26:01,382 --> 00:26:03,741
And we heard earlier that he is spending...

558
00:26:03,968 --> 00:26:06,819
23 hours a day in solitary confinement.

559
00:26:08,085 --> 00:26:08,522
Do you ever...

560
00:26:09,437 --> 00:26:09,944
think about...

561
00:26:10,171 --> 00:26:11,155
his mental state?

562
00:26:12,429 --> 00:26:12,967
Everyday.

563
00:26:15,483 --> 00:26:16,163
Everyday.

564
00:26:17,265 --> 00:26:18,483
You don't wish that on anybody.

565
00:26:19,467 --> 00:26:21,170
There is an incredible amount of stress,

566
00:26:21,616 --> 00:26:22,577
in the job alone.

567
00:26:23,179 --> 00:26:25,467
More or less, if somebody dies in your custody,

568
00:26:25,492 --> 00:26:27,452
thats about the worst thing that you can go through

569
00:26:27,477 --> 00:26:29,186
as a person and a police officer.

570
00:26:33,664 --> 00:26:35,344
{\an8}George Floyd was a semi-regular customer.

571
00:26:36,258 --> 00:26:36,906
{\an8}He'd come around...

572
00:26:37,992 --> 00:26:41,000
{\an8}not so often but he was someone we'd recognize.

573
00:26:41,407 --> 00:26:42,367
{\an8}And he'd come here maybe...

574
00:26:42,868 --> 00:26:44,633
{\an8}to pay his phone bill
or get phone services.

575
00:26:44,658 --> 00:26:46,648
{\an8}So anytime a customer brings a counterfeit bill,

576
00:26:47,297 --> 00:26:48,258
{\an8}and you'd see, we have plenty of them,

577
00:26:48,930 --> 00:26:50,070
{\an8}We tell them "Hey, this is counterfeit"

578
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:54,500
{\an8}If the customer insist, then we call the police.
Then the police has to ask them where they got it from.

579
00:26:54,982 --> 00:26:55,896
{\an8}And that really hasn't ever happened.

580
00:26:56,685 --> 00:26:57,091
{\an8}In my...

581
00:26:57,428 --> 00:26:58,130
{\an8}experience here,

582
00:26:58,451 --> 00:27:01,099
{\an8}whenever we tell a customer that a bill is counterfeit,

583
00:27:01,490 --> 00:27:02,474
{\an8}they immediately...

584
00:27:02,959 --> 00:27:03,193
{\an8}leave.

585
00:27:03,685 --> 00:27:04,724
{\an8}Because they don't wanna be involved with it.

586
00:27:06,498 --> 00:27:07,544
{\an8}Just from our experience.

587
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,021
{\an8}There's some good ones, but a lot of times we know right away
that there're fake just because of the way they...

588
00:27:11,638 --> 00:27:13,286
{\an8}have the color disfiguration.

589
00:27:13,834 --> 00:27:14,529
{\an8}By the way they feel.

590
00:27:15,138 --> 00:27:15,552
{\an8}The way they look.

591
00:27:16,723 --> 00:27:16,958
{\an8}So...

592
00:27:17,490 --> 00:27:20,161
{\an8}usually we don't call the police on counterfeit money because...

593
00:27:20,849 --> 00:27:23,919
{\an8}when we tell the customer that its fake,
they accept the fact and just leave.

594
00:27:25,029 --> 00:27:25,872
When he came in the store,

595
00:27:26,459 --> 00:27:27,677
he was with a friend of his.

596
00:27:28,342 --> 00:27:29,794
The friend of his was...

597
00:27:30,084 --> 00:27:30,810
paying for...

598
00:27:31,123 --> 00:27:32,521
some electronics repair.

599
00:27:33,123 --> 00:27:33,574
And...

600
00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:35,536
all of the money he had was counterfeit.

601
00:27:36,037 --> 00:27:37,693
because we know the person we told him "Hey..."

602
00:27:38,248 --> 00:27:41,622
"We're not going to call the police, just take
this money back and don't bring it back here again."

603
00:27:42,295 --> 00:27:43,310
And then a few minutes later,

604
00:27:44,099 --> 00:27:45,896
George Floyd made a purchase at the tobacco shop,

605
00:27:47,193 --> 00:27:48,349
with a counterfeit bill.

606
00:27:49,271 --> 00:27:49,661
And...

607
00:27:50,748 --> 00:27:52,281
an employee then called the police.

608
00:27:52,306 --> 00:27:54,469
They arrived about 45 minutes later,

609
00:27:55,086 --> 00:27:56,578
and found George Floyd in his car.

610
00:27:57,548 --> 00:27:58,032
And...

611
00:27:58,775 --> 00:27:59,415
thats when they...

612
00:28:00,462 --> 00:28:01,298
approached him.

613
00:28:07,552 --> 00:28:10,423
{\an8}I'm Dr Ron Martinelli, Forensic Criminologist,

614
00:28:10,904 --> 00:28:12,958
{\an8}and certified medical investigator,

615
00:28:12,983 --> 00:28:14,091
{\an8}and police practices expert.

616
00:28:14,747 --> 00:28:16,372
{\an8}Let me just preface this,

617
00:28:16,583 --> 00:28:18,098
{\an8}I have no dog in the fight here.

618
00:28:18,669 --> 00:28:22,637
{\an8}We classically get a lot of officer involved
shootings and in-custody deaths

619
00:28:22,662 --> 00:28:25,075
{\an8}But we take them from all sides.

620
00:28:25,193 --> 00:28:28,012
{\an8}So my advocacy, is for facts and evidence.

621
00:28:28,029 --> 00:28:29,829
{\an8}Not for people or entities.

622
00:28:29,896 --> 00:28:33,739
{\an8}So if the officers are doing, what they are
supposed to be doing as they were trained to do it.

623
00:28:33,795 --> 00:28:34,700
{\an8}I'm gonna tell you.

624
00:28:34,888 --> 00:28:37,169
{\an8}If they're not, I'm also gonna tell you that.

625
00:28:37,427 --> 00:28:42,192
What was your assessment of the
police behavior in seeing the full video,

626
00:28:42,427 --> 00:28:44,005
and seeing how things played out?

627
00:28:44,122 --> 00:28:45,067
They made contact

628
00:28:45,474 --> 00:28:46,514
with Mr Floyd

629
00:28:46,903 --> 00:28:47,598
and that

630
00:28:47,818 --> 00:28:50,645
is totally appropriate
because they're investigating

631
00:28:50,919 --> 00:28:53,005
a third person's report

632
00:28:53,536 --> 00:28:54,380
of criminality.

633
00:29:12,571 --> 00:29:15,087
So for the officers, what they have to do...

634
00:29:15,322 --> 00:29:17,689
is they have to begin an investigation.

635
00:29:18,010 --> 00:29:20,010
To ask him probative questions,

636
00:29:20,357 --> 00:29:22,037
seeking more evidence.

637
00:29:22,205 --> 00:29:23,478
To determine,

638
00:29:23,775 --> 00:29:24,211
Whether

639
00:29:24,236 --> 00:29:25,104
Whether a crime

640
00:29:25,129 --> 00:29:26,134
Whether a crime has occured.

641
00:29:32,510 --> 00:29:36,159
So once they put the handcuffs on Mr Floyd,

642
00:29:36,518 --> 00:29:38,315
Mr Floyd should've known

643
00:29:38,815 --> 00:29:40,807
albeit he's under the influence of drugs.

644
00:29:44,854 --> 00:29:45,643
That he must

645
00:29:46,081 --> 00:29:49,002
Obey the officer's
directions, orders, and command.

646
00:29:49,369 --> 00:29:50,986
He cannot resist arrest.

647
00:29:59,244 --> 00:30:01,040
And so, when Mr Floyd...

648
00:30:01,447 --> 00:30:02,470
gets in a car,

649
00:30:03,127 --> 00:30:05,204
and he claims that he's claustrophobic

650
00:30:05,229 --> 00:30:07,642
Right, "Claustrophobic" is exactly what he said.

651
00:30:13,851 --> 00:30:16,101
I think if I was an officer
I'd be saying "Wait a minute..."

652
00:30:16,125 --> 00:30:17,328
"You showed up in a car."

653
00:30:17,367 --> 00:30:19,101
"You wouldn't get in a car..."

654
00:30:19,126 --> 00:30:20,898
"if you thought you were claustrophobic."

655
00:30:21,001 --> 00:30:25,555
The officers placed him in a position
thats referred to as the "Maximum Restraint" position

656
00:30:25,938 --> 00:30:29,399
In other words, he's proned, stomach down, on the ground.

657
00:30:33,337 --> 00:30:34,477
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury,

658
00:30:35,032 --> 00:30:35,360
Good morning.

659
00:30:35,992 --> 00:30:37,266
{\an8}We plan to prove to you,

660
00:30:37,696 --> 00:30:38,985
{\an8}beyond a reasonable doubt,

661
00:30:39,563 --> 00:30:41,766
{\an8}that Mr Chauvin was anything other than innocent,

662
00:30:42,305 --> 00:30:43,905
{\an8}on May 25th of 2020.

663
00:30:44,774 --> 00:30:45,907
Mr Derek Chauvin,

664
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:47,000
used...

665
00:30:47,298 --> 00:30:48,000
excessive...

666
00:30:48,805 --> 00:30:50,485
and unreasonable force...

667
00:30:50,782 --> 00:30:51,617
upon the body...

668
00:30:52,587 --> 00:30:53,539
of Mr George Floyd.

669
00:30:54,579 --> 00:30:55,047
Until...

670
00:30:55,688 --> 00:30:56,305
the very breath...

671
00:30:56,923 --> 00:30:58,672
No, ladies and gentlemen, until the very life...

672
00:30:59,454 --> 00:31:00,477
was squeezed out of him.

673
00:31:09,010 --> 00:31:09,822
{\an8}You would agree,

674
00:31:10,283 --> 00:31:10,884
{\an8}Chief...

675
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:11,275
{\an8}that...

676
00:31:12,010 --> 00:31:14,806
{\an8}from the prespective of Ms

677
00:31:14,831 --> 00:31:16,126
{\an8}Ms Frazier's camera

678
00:31:16,877 --> 00:31:19,009
{\an8}It appears that Officer Chauvin's knee...

679
00:31:19,213 --> 00:31:20,806
{\an8}is on the neck of Mr Floyd.

680
00:31:21,775 --> 00:31:22,118
{\an8}Yes.

681
00:31:22,752 --> 00:31:25,652
{\an8}Would you agree that from the prespective of

682
00:31:25,801 --> 00:31:27,400
{\an8}Officer Kueng's body camera,

683
00:31:27,918 --> 00:31:31,511
{\an8}it appears that Officer Chauvin's knee was more on Mr Floyd's...

684
00:31:32,074 --> 00:31:32,628
{\an8}shoulder blade.

685
00:31:36,496 --> 00:31:36,807
{\an8}Yes.

686
00:31:38,501 --> 00:31:40,547
They had to have the jury believe...

687
00:31:40,852 --> 00:31:41,972
that it was...

688
00:31:42,212 --> 00:31:43,227
a neck restraint,

689
00:31:43,252 --> 00:31:44,719
it was the knee on the neck,

690
00:31:44,744 --> 00:31:46,344
it was asphyxiation,

691
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,500
that killed George Floyd.

692
00:31:48,915 --> 00:31:49,500
However,

693
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,727
there was a ton...

694
00:31:52,048 --> 00:31:53,168
of evidence...

695
00:31:53,735 --> 00:31:55,188
that George Floyd...

696
00:31:55,368 --> 00:31:56,368
consumed...

697
00:31:56,798 --> 00:31:57,860
a toxic...

698
00:31:58,110 --> 00:31:58,922
lethal...

699
00:31:59,532 --> 00:32:00,532
cocktail...

700
00:32:00,891 --> 00:32:02,914
of Fentanyl and Methamphetamine.

701
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:06,422
I ate too many (unintelligible)

702
00:32:06,977 --> 00:32:08,547
{\an8}Did it appear that Mr Floyd said

703
00:32:08,781 --> 00:32:10,125
{\an8}"I ate too many drugs" ?

704
00:32:10,150 --> 00:32:10,765
{\an8}Yes it did.

705
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,640
Let's put it in prespective.

706
00:32:12,978 --> 00:32:14,962
3 grains

707
00:32:15,041 --> 00:32:16,041
of Fentanyl

708
00:32:16,377 --> 00:32:17,837
on the head of a lead pencil

709
00:32:18,822 --> 00:32:20,767
enough to kill you, enough to kill me.

710
00:32:21,173 --> 00:32:23,517
And so they had to continuously,

711
00:32:23,908 --> 00:32:25,829
inculcate the public...

712
00:32:26,556 --> 00:32:27,556
to believe

713
00:32:27,978 --> 00:32:29,203
that Derek

714
00:32:29,228 --> 00:32:30,118
that Derek Chauvin

715
00:32:30,392 --> 00:32:31,392
intentionally,

716
00:32:31,634 --> 00:32:32,712
premeditatedly,

717
00:32:32,783 --> 00:32:33,689
murdered

718
00:32:34,439 --> 00:32:35,970
George Floyd

719
00:32:36,977 --> 00:32:39,368
and drugs had absolutely nothing to do with it!

720
00:32:40,447 --> 00:32:43,384
As Lindsey and the toxicologist,

721
00:32:43,588 --> 00:32:45,360
presented that awful testimony.

722
00:32:45,736 --> 00:32:48,876
{\an8}Do you recall describing the level of Fentanyl

723
00:32:49,478 --> 00:32:51,845
{\an8}as a fatal level of Fentanyl?

724
00:32:52,955 --> 00:32:55,571
{\an8}I recalled describing it in other circumstances

725
00:32:55,596 --> 00:32:57,729
{\an8}it would be a fatal level, yes.

726
00:32:58,205 --> 00:32:59,485
{\an8}In other circumstances.

727
00:32:59,986 --> 00:33:02,978
{\an8}Had Mr Floyd been home alone in his locked residence,

728
00:33:02,994 --> 00:33:04,407
{\an8}with no evidence of trauma,

729
00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:07,235
{\an8}and the only autopsy finding was that Fentanyl level,

730
00:33:07,658 --> 00:33:08,306
{\an8}then yes.

731
00:33:08,806 --> 00:33:11,243
{\an8}I would certify his death as due to Fentanyl toxicity.

732
00:33:20,153 --> 00:33:21,114
I know I can't breathe!

733
00:33:21,583 --> 00:33:22,449
I can't breathe!

734
00:33:22,848 --> 00:33:23,653
I can't breathe!

735
00:33:24,130 --> 00:33:24,957
I can't breathe!

736
00:33:24,294 --> 00:33:24,731
Take a seat!

737
00:33:25,606 --> 00:33:27,286
I can't f**king breathe!

738
00:33:26,387 --> 00:33:27,223
Here, come on out!

739
00:33:27,559 --> 00:33:29,395
The autopsy is generally brokened down

740
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:31,957
by number one, how the body is presented.

741
00:33:32,645 --> 00:33:34,910
and what his height and weight is,

742
00:33:35,005 --> 00:33:37,809
and then it goes through the neurological system.

743
00:33:38,176 --> 00:33:39,387
Exterior trauma.

744
00:33:39,412 --> 00:33:40,543
Interior trauma.

745
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:42,817
But I go right to the cardiovascular system.

746
00:33:43,218 --> 00:33:45,522
And there, I look at the heart weight.

747
00:33:46,023 --> 00:33:48,023
How much does the heart weigh?

748
00:33:48,195 --> 00:33:48,991
And then,

749
00:33:49,398 --> 00:33:50,140
I take a look

750
00:33:50,460 --> 00:33:51,327
for key

751
00:33:51,352 --> 00:33:52,241
for key words

752
00:33:52,266 --> 00:33:53,538
I compare the heart weight,

753
00:33:53,820 --> 00:33:54,820
to the...

754
00:33:54,859 --> 00:33:56,397
height and weight of the individual,

755
00:33:57,257 --> 00:33:59,524
to what the toxicology report says

756
00:34:00,179 --> 00:34:03,187
and I look for certain words or evidence

757
00:34:03,515 --> 00:34:05,905
of something called "Cardiomegaly"

758
00:34:06,414 --> 00:34:08,562
Cardiomegaly means an enlarged heart.

759
00:34:08,773 --> 00:34:11,655
If a person has cardiomegaly

760
00:34:12,171 --> 00:34:13,211
their chances...

761
00:34:13,382 --> 00:34:13,943
of sudden

762
00:34:13,968 --> 00:34:14,874
of sudden cardiac

763
00:34:14,899 --> 00:34:15,397
of sudden cardiac arrest

764
00:34:16,116 --> 00:34:17,029
rise by a

765
00:34:17,054 --> 00:34:17,490
rise by a hundred

766
00:34:17,515 --> 00:34:18,279
rise by a hundred and fifty

767
00:34:18,304 --> 00:34:18,701
rise by a hundred and fifty times.

768
00:34:18,725 --> 00:34:20,045
Not a 150%

769
00:34:20,530 --> 00:34:22,170
A hundred and fifty times

770
00:34:22,662 --> 00:34:24,536
That is significant.

771
00:34:24,928 --> 00:34:26,842
And then we have the whole issue...

772
00:34:26,936 --> 00:34:27,248
of...

773
00:34:27,507 --> 00:34:29,209
the police encounter,

774
00:34:29,522 --> 00:34:31,855
and the basal metabolic rate rising.

775
00:34:32,138 --> 00:34:33,692
Think about him being agitated,

776
00:34:33,717 --> 00:34:34,319
chaotic

777
00:34:34,702 --> 00:34:35,444
excited

778
00:34:36,099 --> 00:34:37,340
And his heart is

779
00:34:37,364 --> 00:34:37,692
And his heart is pumping

780
00:34:37,716 --> 00:34:38,114
And his heart is pumping, pumping

781
00:34:38,139 --> 00:34:38,598
And his heart is pumping, pumping, pumping

782
00:34:38,974 --> 00:34:40,387
There is zero

783
00:34:40,412 --> 00:34:41,122
There is zero empirical

784
00:34:41,147 --> 00:34:41,973
There is zero empirical forensic

785
00:34:41,998 --> 00:34:43,083
There is zero empirical forensic evidence

786
00:34:43,209 --> 00:34:44,224
Medical evidence.

787
00:34:45,396 --> 00:34:45,989
Of

788
00:34:46,014 --> 00:34:46,715
Of any

789
00:34:46,740 --> 00:34:47,942
Of any biological

790
00:34:47,967 --> 00:34:48,880
Of any biological mechanism.

791
00:34:48,905 --> 00:34:51,412
Physiological mechanism that would've interfered

792
00:34:51,865 --> 00:34:52,130
with...

793
00:34:52,669 --> 00:34:53,789
George Floyd's...

794
00:34:54,404 --> 00:34:55,153
ability...

795
00:34:55,771 --> 00:34:57,919
to get sufficient oxygenated blood

796
00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:59,317
up into the brain.

797
00:34:59,677 --> 00:35:01,302
There's zero evidence of that!

798
00:35:02,287 --> 00:35:05,481
{\an8}There was a...another passenger in the vehicle

799
00:35:06,037 --> 00:35:07,341
{\an8}And that passenger was...

800
00:35:07,365 --> 00:35:08,888
{\an8}Mr Floyd's drug dealer.

801
00:35:09,498 --> 00:35:10,067
{\an8}However,

802
00:35:10,287 --> 00:35:11,887
{\an8}he did not end up...

803
00:35:12,396 --> 00:35:14,349
{\an8}providing helpful testimony because...

804
00:35:14,521 --> 00:35:16,521
{\an8}of his own criminal liability.

805
00:35:19,534 --> 00:35:21,448
{\an8}I'm fearful of

806
00:35:21,473 --> 00:35:23,901
{\an8}criminal charges going forward

807
00:35:24,221 --> 00:35:24,815
{\an8}I have...

808
00:35:25,042 --> 00:35:26,042
{\an8}open...

809
00:35:26,067 --> 00:35:28,159
{\an8}charges thats not settled yet.

810
00:35:28,308 --> 00:35:29,652
{\an8}Of my personal stuff.

811
00:35:30,192 --> 00:35:34,191
So basically you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right
against Compelled Self-Incrimination?

812
00:35:34,215 --> 00:35:34,965
Yes sir.

813
00:35:48,893 --> 00:35:50,276
There was some evidence that came out...

814
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:51,946
of chewed up

815
00:35:51,971 --> 00:35:52,596
pills

816
00:35:52,619 --> 00:35:55,471
that were found on the floor of the police car.

817
00:35:55,971 --> 00:35:58,025
Its very unclear to me why that evidence was not...

818
00:35:58,690 --> 00:36:01,736
obtained earlier and presented to the jury.

819
00:36:01,932 --> 00:36:04,619
But I think if the jury had seen the entire picture,

820
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,080
not only of...

821
00:36:06,557 --> 00:36:08,486
Mr Floyd's drug dependency,

822
00:36:08,807 --> 00:36:12,236
his multiple prior brushes with law enforcement.

823
00:36:12,712 --> 00:36:13,283
But...

824
00:36:13,369 --> 00:36:16,650
his physical characteristics at the time...

825
00:36:16,963 --> 00:36:18,877
of the incident and his ultimate death.

826
00:36:18,902 --> 00:36:20,642
Absent the interaction with the police,

827
00:36:20,667 --> 00:36:23,931
he could easily have died with the amount of drugs in his system.

828
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,020
With no knee on his neck or on his shoulder.

829
00:36:27,308 --> 00:36:27,909
And so,

830
00:36:27,934 --> 00:36:30,987
to me that would've suggested, if I were on that jury...

831
00:36:31,214 --> 00:36:32,260
reasonable doubt.

832
00:36:32,285 --> 00:36:32,549
But

833
00:36:32,940 --> 00:36:34,363
our system is such that

834
00:36:34,879 --> 00:36:36,042
a jury gets to decide that.

835
00:36:36,066 --> 00:36:40,644
Now there were other factors I think
that polluted the jury's ultimate ruling.

836
00:36:41,222 --> 00:36:42,863
Ultimately the jury reached it's conclusion.

837
00:36:48,623 --> 00:36:50,690
{\an8}We've got to get more confrontational.

838
00:36:50,943 --> 00:36:51,943
{\an8}Make sure...

839
00:36:51,968 --> 00:36:54,310
{\an8}that they--they know that we mean business.

840
00:36:54,326 --> 00:36:57,669
{\an8}I want to see the charge of the arresting officer take place.

841
00:36:58,256 --> 00:36:59,558
{\an8}We are not talking

842
00:36:59,583 --> 00:37:02,201
{\an8}about a split-second decision,

843
00:37:02,217 --> 00:37:03,802
{\an8}that was made incorrectly.

844
00:37:04,232 --> 00:37:06,099
{\an8}I can't see'em come to a different answer there.

845
00:37:07,053 --> 00:37:07,552
{\an8}Thank you.

846
00:37:10,537 --> 00:37:11,505
{\an8}No, I have not yet.

847
00:37:11,787 --> 00:37:15,271
{\an8}The verdict is in, in the case that has riveted the nation.

848
00:37:15,521 --> 00:37:16,951
{\an8}The trial of Derek Chauvin.

849
00:37:17,396 --> 00:37:20,974
{\an8}The former Minneapolis police officer
was found guilty today,

850
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:23,763
{\an8}of killing George Floyd last May.

851
00:37:24,029 --> 00:37:25,919
{\an8}I JUST WANNA THANK THE PROSECUTORS

852
00:37:25,944 --> 00:37:26,247
{\an8}THE--

853
00:37:26,450 --> 00:37:26,662
{\an8}THE--

854
00:37:26,810 --> 00:37:29,326
{\an8}I JUST WANNA THANK GOD, THE DEA, EVERYBODY

855
00:37:29,818 --> 00:37:30,654
{\an8}AMEN

856
00:37:30,849 --> 00:37:31,302
{\an8}AMEN

857
00:37:31,327 --> 00:37:32,193
{\an8}HALLELUJAH

858
00:37:32,302 --> 00:37:32,966
{\an8}hallelujah

859
00:37:32,991 --> 00:37:36,810
{\an8}And I hope every killer cop is watching and paying attention.

860
00:37:36,838 --> 00:37:38,013
{\an8}Because today,

861
00:37:38,038 --> 00:37:40,780
{\an8}The Black Lives Matter movement served notice on you.

862
00:37:51,628 --> 00:37:52,440
Theres a viciousness

863
00:37:52,465 --> 00:37:52,995
Theres

864
00:37:53,020 --> 00:37:53,394
Theres almost

865
00:37:53,419 --> 00:37:53,597
Theres almost a

866
00:37:53,622 --> 00:37:54,731
Theres almost a bloodthirst

867
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,252
When one of these cases comes around.

868
00:37:58,073 --> 00:37:58,979
And nobody looks back,

869
00:37:59,004 --> 00:38:00,190
nobody asks any questions,

870
00:38:00,215 --> 00:38:01,290
nobody says sorry.

871
00:38:02,398 --> 00:38:03,234
It's just...

872
00:38:04,156 --> 00:38:08,030
you are being sacrificed so we build this temple of Black Lives Matter

873
00:38:08,593 --> 00:38:09,679
And there are so

874
00:38:09,704 --> 00:38:10,101
And there are so many

875
00:38:10,133 --> 00:38:11,054
And there are so many individuals,

876
00:38:11,366 --> 00:38:13,530
Who deserve to have their story told.

877
00:38:22,392 --> 00:38:24,337
So Liz, I wanna start with you so...

878
00:38:24,617 --> 00:38:26,946
being an anchor and having that position,

879
00:38:26,970 --> 00:38:28,165
how did you juggle...

880
00:38:28,283 --> 00:38:31,790
being married as well to a police officer
in terms of covering stories?

881
00:38:32,203 --> 00:38:34,273
{\an8}Well I went to our management right away,

882
00:38:34,375 --> 00:38:37,452
{\an8}Before I even went on a date with Bob,
as a matter of fact.

883
00:38:37,601 --> 00:38:39,077
{\an8}To tell them, that I was...

884
00:38:39,453 --> 00:38:40,702
{\an8}thinking about going on a date

885
00:38:40,765 --> 00:38:42,609
{\an8}with this person at the time.

886
00:38:42,634 --> 00:38:43,460
{\an8}And I said...

887
00:38:43,484 --> 00:38:47,929
{\an8}ethically I don't feel comfortable
covering police union issues

888
00:38:48,187 --> 00:38:51,751
{\an8}and that was something that
management was totally fine with

889
00:38:51,999 --> 00:38:54,281
So you mentioned that you were getting threats...

890
00:38:54,407 --> 00:38:55,257
on Twitter.

891
00:38:55,312 --> 00:38:56,976
And I'm assuming thats where it began

892
00:38:57,373 --> 00:38:59,404
Can you talk a little about what those threats were?

893
00:38:59,545 --> 00:39:01,404
I think they started immediately

894
00:39:01,459 --> 00:39:04,560
within...I think hours of the actual incident

895
00:39:04,779 --> 00:39:05,899
They said that

896
00:39:05,959 --> 00:39:09,177
 "Bob Kroll and Liz Collin will be dead by the time the year ends"

897
00:39:09,271 --> 00:39:11,443
They came to the station where I worked

898
00:39:11,474 --> 00:39:12,560
and held a protest.

899
00:39:12,865 --> 00:39:15,513
During the 6 o'clock news,
demanding that I be fired.

900
00:39:15,998 --> 00:39:16,575
For?

901
00:39:17,396 --> 00:39:19,224
Being married to a police officer.

902
00:39:21,012 --> 00:39:24,685
I'm seeing the story from so many different lenses.

903
00:39:25,614 --> 00:39:26,146
As a wife,

904
00:39:26,506 --> 00:39:27,693
as a journalist,

905
00:39:28,545 --> 00:39:30,225
but as a mom I think its where it...

906
00:39:32,388 --> 00:39:33,747
its where it hit me the hardest.

907
00:39:34,037 --> 00:39:34,575
I can imagine.

908
00:39:34,654 --> 00:39:36,435
In the early days, I'm calling friends

909
00:39:36,552 --> 00:39:38,935
"Hey, can you take Anthony? We have another..."

910
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:39,575
"Hey, can you take Anthony? We have another death threat."

911
00:39:39,662 --> 00:39:42,154
or my parents are watching him for a few days

912
00:39:42,232 --> 00:39:43,239
He doesn't know whats going on.

913
00:39:43,279 --> 00:39:48,463
I mean you can't even explain this stuff to adults
nonetheless a seven year old child.

914
00:39:48,498 --> 00:39:50,606
And he happened to see a little clip of the news...

915
00:39:51,973 --> 00:39:53,614
in the early days and said,

916
00:39:54,068 --> 00:39:54,435
"Wait a minute...

917
00:39:55,458 --> 00:39:56,957
"so the police made a mistake...

918
00:39:56,982 --> 00:39:58,685
"and they're stealing stuff from Target?"

919
00:39:59,732 --> 00:40:02,528
In his little mind he knew that this did not make sense.

920
00:40:02,677 --> 00:40:03,497
This isn't okay.

921
00:40:04,099 --> 00:40:06,591
So this was a Black Lives Matter organized protest,

922
00:40:06,623 --> 00:40:08,802
a hundred people were there,

923
00:40:09,834 --> 00:40:11,514
and we were out of town.

924
00:40:12,052 --> 00:40:13,232
After that happened,

925
00:40:13,295 --> 00:40:15,568
I sent an email to our newsroom

926
00:40:16,006 --> 00:40:16,591
And I said...

927
00:40:16,716 --> 00:40:18,208
"This seems newsworthy"

928
00:40:18,286 --> 00:40:20,176
There was a state rep candidate there,

929
00:40:20,201 --> 00:40:21,927
that was beating me in effigy

930
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:24,630
they made piñatas of Bob and I dressed as klansmen.

931
00:40:24,938 --> 00:40:26,242
Woah woah woah

932
00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:27,648
Slow down here

933
00:40:28,407 --> 00:40:30,687
you're telling me that they made piñatas of you

934
00:40:31,203 --> 00:40:31,953
in effigy

935
00:40:32,352 --> 00:40:33,414
and they beat them?

936
00:40:34,016 --> 00:40:34,539
With bats.

937
00:40:34,641 --> 00:40:36,000
John Thompson did with a stick.

938
00:40:36,102 --> 00:40:36,672
In our driveway,

939
00:40:36,711 --> 00:40:39,258
this is the man running to be a state representative in Minnesota.

940
00:40:39,305 --> 00:40:40,156
In your driveway?

941
00:40:40,196 --> 00:40:41,437
Overwhelmingly elected.

942
00:40:41,813 --> 00:40:43,187
F**K BOB KROLL!

943
00:40:43,305 --> 00:40:45,844
AND F**K ANYBODY WHO SUPPORT HIS RACIST ASS!

944
00:40:47,953 --> 00:40:49,367
F**K BOB

945
00:40:49,392 --> 00:40:50,078
F**K BOB KROLL

946
00:40:50,133 --> 00:40:51,047
I SAID IT!

947
00:40:51,430 --> 00:40:53,234
I mean it was horrendous, absoulutely awful.

948
00:40:53,859 --> 00:40:54,757
And I got in trouble,

949
00:40:55,266 --> 00:40:56,359
for pitching that as a story.

950
00:40:57,335 --> 00:40:59,842
We had reporters tweeting their...

951
00:41:00,108 --> 00:41:02,531
alliance with Black Lives Matter using that hashtag.

952
00:41:02,555 --> 00:41:05,914
After this movement, talking about
"Its okay to align yourself with this group"

953
00:41:05,939 --> 00:41:07,540
"and supporting Black Lives Matter"

954
00:41:07,594 --> 00:41:08,320
and that was fine.

955
00:41:08,438 --> 00:41:10,914
But I was no longer wanted there, and that was pretty clear.

956
00:41:11,156 --> 00:41:12,304
What was the process of making these?

957
00:41:12,922 --> 00:41:13,539
I mean...

958
00:41:13,797 --> 00:41:16,997
if you've ever been so angry you wanted to make a piñata.
Thats where I'm at.

959
00:41:17,141 --> 00:41:18,015
Just f**k 'em

960
00:41:18,059 --> 00:41:20,336
Just aboslutely f**k 'em thats where I'm at.

961
00:41:20,539 --> 00:41:22,258
So when did you make the decision to leave?

962
00:41:23,937 --> 00:41:24,906
My contract was up

963
00:41:24,930 --> 00:41:26,086
in January

964
00:41:26,102 --> 00:41:27,297
of this last year.

965
00:41:27,532 --> 00:41:29,164
And I have been blackballed in the market.

966
00:41:29,977 --> 00:41:30,172
It--

967
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:30,898
I can interject

968
00:41:31,336 --> 00:41:31,508
It--

969
00:41:31,860 --> 00:41:32,226
It destroyed--

970
00:41:32,305 --> 00:41:34,445
They were successful in destroying her career.

971
00:41:34,492 --> 00:41:36,958
Because she had a wonderful

972
00:41:36,983 --> 00:41:38,351
Because she had a wonderful career trajectory going.

973
00:41:38,389 --> 00:41:41,210
She's a small town Wellington, Minnesota local,

974
00:41:41,374 --> 00:41:42,506
she was a local favorite,

975
00:41:43,022 --> 00:41:46,272
she was the primary fill-in for the two main anchors,

976
00:41:46,624 --> 00:41:49,733
she had a weekend anchor, the ratings that they had were huge.

977
00:41:50,335 --> 00:41:51,076
Everybody loved her.

978
00:41:51,554 --> 00:41:53,514
And then all of a sudden this twist.

979
00:41:53,539 --> 00:41:55,219
I watched it destroy her,

980
00:41:55,702 --> 00:41:57,781
and destroyed her career, something she was very good at.

981
00:41:58,349 --> 00:42:00,085
A lot better, quite frankly,

982
00:42:00,133 --> 00:42:01,765
than some of her competitors

983
00:42:01,804 --> 00:42:02,991
or her replacements.

984
00:42:13,613 --> 00:42:17,511
{\an8}My name's Fraser Ross and I own retail stores in Los Angeles, California

985
00:42:17,668 --> 00:42:22,105
{\an8}During the George Floyd protest that swept the nation,

986
00:42:22,316 --> 00:42:23,019
{\an8}what happened?

987
00:42:23,261 --> 00:42:24,816
We were looted for

988
00:42:24,879 --> 00:42:27,277
over 400,000 dollars worth of merchadise.

989
00:42:27,504 --> 00:42:27,792
Wow.

990
00:42:28,199 --> 00:42:28,566
Its really--

991
00:42:28,629 --> 00:42:29,989
It was a disaster.

992
00:42:30,347 --> 00:42:31,947
You then went online,

993
00:42:32,254 --> 00:42:35,011
and what did you observe that you thought was...

994
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:36,441
out of the ordinary?

995
00:42:36,833 --> 00:42:37,435
Chrissy

996
00:42:37,460 --> 00:42:37,747
Chrissy Teigen

997
00:42:37,772 --> 00:42:39,286
Chrissy Teigen had posted on her Instagram,

998
00:42:39,669 --> 00:42:42,553
the thing--y'know "I'll help the protestors get out of jail."

999
00:42:51,016 --> 00:42:53,437
Then she said "Well, let me up it to another 100,000"

1000
00:42:53,821 --> 00:42:54,445
Now when you have...

1001
00:42:55,656 --> 00:42:58,335
approximately 30 million followers at the time,

1002
00:42:58,360 --> 00:42:59,765
you can start a movement and people say

1003
00:42:59,790 --> 00:43:01,914
"Oh well, she's gonna bail me out and everything"

1004
00:43:01,938 --> 00:43:02,531
And then,

1005
00:43:02,556 --> 00:43:03,961
y'know you got celebrities like

1006
00:43:03,977 --> 00:43:06,265
Jennifer Garner giving four hearts to that post.

1007
00:43:06,344 --> 00:43:09,703
Well they all live in gated communities,
and its not their stuff being destroyed.

1008
00:43:09,813 --> 00:43:11,008
And you had just been looted?

1009
00:43:11,111 --> 00:43:12,945
Yeah, I went online and post an Instagram

1010
00:43:12,970 --> 00:43:14,711
of the store being looted

1011
00:43:14,781 --> 00:43:15,625
and I tagged

1012
00:43:15,650 --> 00:43:16,468
"Thanks Chrissy"

1013
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:17,773
She wrote under this post

1014
00:43:17,977 --> 00:43:19,984
"Well like anyones really shopped there for 10 years"

1015
00:43:20,321 --> 00:43:21,422
So her instinct,

1016
00:43:21,447 --> 00:43:23,741
after seeing that your store

1017
00:43:23,766 --> 00:43:25,446
had been actually looted,

1018
00:43:25,891 --> 00:43:27,929
her response is "Well, no one really shops at your store anyways"

1019
00:43:27,954 --> 00:43:30,890
so she was not sympathetic to the victim in this circumstance

1020
00:43:31,242 --> 00:43:31,836
Not one bit.

1021
00:43:32,305 --> 00:43:34,398
{\an8}But Jen Atkins was actually worse,

1022
00:43:34,616 --> 00:43:35,179
Jen Atkins

1023
00:43:35,835 --> 00:43:37,452
she's a friend of Chrissy Teigen

1024
00:43:37,578 --> 00:43:40,202
you've tagged her in this post because you sell her products

1025
00:43:40,734 --> 00:43:42,773
she comments on this post as well.

1026
00:43:42,828 --> 00:43:43,148
Right

1027
00:43:43,195 --> 00:43:44,179
Basically saying,

1028
00:43:44,687 --> 00:43:46,843
"Use the shampoo to clean up the graffiti"

1029
00:43:46,859 --> 00:43:48,749
"and my looting cream comes out in October"

1030
00:43:49,031 --> 00:43:49,984
So they're having fun.

1031
00:43:50,382 --> 00:43:51,523
They're mocking the looting.

1032
00:43:51,554 --> 00:43:55,616
You should be in federal prison if you're inciting violence
with that many people folowing you.

1033
00:44:03,887 --> 00:44:04,325
So...

1034
00:44:04,676 --> 00:44:06,465
Dana then decides to jump in...

1035
00:44:06,755 --> 00:44:07,981
and call you

1036
00:44:08,006 --> 00:44:08,965
and call you and Kitson

1037
00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:10,215
and call you and Kitson a racist store.

1038
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:11,340
because you were upset...

1039
00:44:11,365 --> 00:44:11,818
Right.

1040
00:44:11,843 --> 00:44:13,116
that your store had was looted.

1041
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:13,185
Yeah

1042
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:14,200
This made you...

1043
00:44:14,271 --> 00:44:15,091
a racist somehow.

1044
00:44:14,873 --> 00:44:15,122
Right

1045
00:44:15,326 --> 00:44:15,575
Right

1046
00:44:15,685 --> 00:44:17,615
So this was quite literally

1047
00:44:17,685 --> 00:44:18,450
blaming the victim.

1048
00:44:18,763 --> 00:44:19,474
Then what happened?

1049
00:44:19,654 --> 00:44:22,271
She sends a DM saying "Well before we get on the phone..."

1050
00:44:22,474 --> 00:44:25,138
"you're gonna have to apologize to Chrissy Teigen"

1051
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:26,310
"and then I'll take down the post."

1052
00:44:26,982 --> 00:44:30,435
Dana Omari from her Instagram account wrote exactly this,

1053
00:44:35,724 --> 00:44:36,661
she's refering to Chrissy Teigen.

1054
00:45:13,747 --> 00:45:15,013
So this blogger,

1055
00:45:15,435 --> 00:45:17,192
just to recap, has essentially...

1056
00:45:17,278 --> 00:45:19,973
jumped in on behalf of Chrissy Teigen.

1057
00:45:20,028 --> 00:45:20,340
Right

1058
00:45:20,474 --> 00:45:22,426
So we got on the phone for 53 minutes,

1059
00:45:22,497 --> 00:45:24,247
and most of the coversation was,

1060
00:45:24,317 --> 00:45:26,372
"You need to apologize to Chrissy Teigen"

1061
00:45:26,442 --> 00:45:30,332
I said "I'm not apologizing to her, there's no reason to apologize to Chrissy Teigen"

1062
00:45:30,450 --> 00:45:31,575
"But what are you looking for?"

1063
00:45:31,927 --> 00:45:32,793
"You looking for money?"

1064
00:45:32,942 --> 00:45:33,982
I was worried

1065
00:45:34,013 --> 00:45:35,872
that how agrresive they were,

1066
00:45:36,013 --> 00:45:37,926
and the looting was still approaching,

1067
00:45:38,005 --> 00:45:39,365
and my main store,

1068
00:45:39,427 --> 00:45:42,528
the value in that store is much greater than the one that got looted.

1069
00:45:42,786 --> 00:45:45,325
Right, so because she's publicly posted your store...

1070
00:45:45,356 --> 00:45:45,637
Right

1071
00:45:45,739 --> 00:45:47,473
as being owned by a racist

1072
00:45:46,935 --> 00:45:47,168
Right

1073
00:45:47,224 --> 00:45:47,497
Right

1074
00:45:47,583 --> 00:45:49,473
concerned that they were gonna come loot you some more.

1075
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,153
Who was the check written out to?

1076
00:45:50,997 --> 00:45:51,590
To ActBlue

1077
00:45:51,848 --> 00:45:52,590
To ActBlue?

1078
00:45:52,669 --> 00:45:52,879
Right

1079
00:45:53,020 --> 00:45:53,911
Which is BLM

1080
00:45:54,145 --> 00:45:54,707
Black Lives Matter

1081
00:45:55,161 --> 00:45:56,887
She was basically saying

1082
00:45:56,942 --> 00:45:59,653
"If you make a donation to Black Lives Matter..."

1083
00:45:59,770 --> 00:46:00,778
"I'll take down the post."

1084
00:46:00,919 --> 00:46:01,247
Okay

1085
00:46:02,598 --> 00:46:04,809
And then after she got off the conversation with me,

1086
00:46:04,888 --> 00:46:06,489
she text me from her phone number

1087
00:46:06,543 --> 00:46:08,191
"And if you don't make the donation..."

1088
00:46:08,254 --> 00:46:10,363
"I'm gonna repost this, I'm gonna make it another post"

1089
00:46:10,419 --> 00:46:12,348
"An unfortunate post that won't be good"

1090
00:46:16,864 --> 00:46:18,028
So let me ask you a question.

1091
00:46:19,333 --> 00:46:20,004
Chrissy Teigen

1092
00:46:20,029 --> 00:46:21,011
Chrissy Teigen, Jen Atkins

1093
00:46:21,036 --> 00:46:21,753
Chrissy Teigen, Jen Atkins, a blogger

1094
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:23,200
in which they both follow.

1095
00:46:23,677 --> 00:46:27,269
Why do you think they felt the need to get involved on such a level,

1096
00:46:27,294 --> 00:46:28,942
and to be so supportive of...

1097
00:46:29,333 --> 00:46:29,942
the looting?

1098
00:46:30,059 --> 00:46:30,653
Well I think they had--

1099
00:46:30,678 --> 00:46:31,542
there was a y'know...

1100
00:46:31,567 --> 00:46:33,145
a side that they felt that they...

1101
00:46:33,363 --> 00:46:34,777
it would help them become relevant

1102
00:46:34,802 --> 00:46:36,394
and heroes and everything.

1103
00:46:36,535 --> 00:46:38,402
Did Dana mentioned anything to you about

1104
00:46:38,427 --> 00:46:40,464
Chrissy Teigen and her having a relationship?

1105
00:46:40,572 --> 00:46:42,893
Yes, she said "Chrissy Teigen thanked me for what she did."

1106
00:46:43,370 --> 00:46:43,698
Wow

1107
00:46:44,018 --> 00:46:44,214
Yes

1108
00:46:44,532 --> 00:46:46,407
So she thanked the blogger,

1109
00:46:46,253 --> 00:46:46,425
Yes

1110
00:46:46,784 --> 00:46:48,237
for calling you a racist.

1111
00:46:47,980 --> 00:46:48,152
Yes

1112
00:46:48,589 --> 00:46:49,923
And I guess...

1113
00:46:49,948 --> 00:46:52,034
having an outraged mob,

1114
00:46:51,566 --> 00:46:52,104
Yes

1115
00:46:52,129 --> 00:46:53,660
descend on you online

1116
00:46:53,417 --> 00:46:53,659
Yes

1117
00:47:22,388 --> 00:47:23,372
{\an8}My name is Charles

1118
00:47:23,397 --> 00:47:24,278
{\an8}and I

1119
00:47:24,303 --> 00:47:25,178
{\an8}grew up in Kenya.

1120
00:47:25,545 --> 00:47:27,427
{\an8}How long have you lived in Minneapolis?

1121
00:47:27,865 --> 00:47:30,919
{\an8}I came to Minneapolis in May of 1997.

1122
00:47:31,057 --> 00:47:32,568
{\an8}So it's been 27 years.

1123
00:47:32,584 --> 00:47:33,849
{\an8}27 years.

1124
00:47:33,873 --> 00:47:34,083
{\an8}Yes

1125
00:47:34,435 --> 00:47:36,387
What was this city...

1126
00:47:36,412 --> 00:47:37,325
before the

1127
00:47:37,350 --> 00:47:37,849
before the George

1128
00:47:37,874 --> 00:47:38,099
before the George Floyd

1129
00:47:38,124 --> 00:47:38,803
before the George Floyd riots?

1130
00:47:39,654 --> 00:47:40,774
Well it was...

1131
00:47:41,029 --> 00:47:43,562
just a typical midwestern city with...

1132
00:47:44,052 --> 00:47:46,310
low crime and hardworking people.

1133
00:47:47,021 --> 00:47:48,021
And...

1134
00:47:48,458 --> 00:47:51,067
we just lived here and enjoyed life together.

1135
00:47:51,099 --> 00:47:51,443
Yeah

1136
00:47:52,154 --> 00:47:54,146
And then things took a bit of a turn,

1137
00:47:54,171 --> 00:47:55,291
and this is...

1138
00:47:56,107 --> 00:47:57,466
something different would you say?

1139
00:47:57,792 --> 00:47:58,083
Well

1140
00:47:58,943 --> 00:47:59,950
what we saw...

1141
00:47:59,975 --> 00:48:00,975
was like...

1142
00:48:01,006 --> 00:48:02,919
a venting of anger.

1143
00:48:03,451 --> 00:48:06,286
It was complete opposite of Minnesota nice.

1144
00:48:06,888 --> 00:48:07,630
And uhm..

1145
00:48:07,740 --> 00:48:08,544
we saw...

1146
00:48:08,568 --> 00:48:09,013
anger

1147
00:48:09,038 --> 00:48:09,669
anger, mayhem

1148
00:48:09,694 --> 00:48:10,341
anger, mayhem, looting

1149
00:48:10,366 --> 00:48:12,060
anger, mayhem, looting, destruction of property

1150
00:48:12,676 --> 00:48:14,184
Burning of the police precinct.

1151
00:48:14,209 --> 00:48:14,739
And it was

1152
00:48:14,764 --> 00:48:15,528
And it was completely

1153
00:48:15,553 --> 00:48:15,919
And it was completely foreign

1154
00:48:15,944 --> 00:48:16,622
And it was completely foreign to me.

1155
00:48:17,561 --> 00:48:19,350
I'm used to something like this,

1156
00:48:19,382 --> 00:48:20,772
in third world countries.

1157
00:48:21,405 --> 00:48:22,123
But...

1158
00:48:22,147 --> 00:48:23,209
not in America.

1159
00:48:23,248 --> 00:48:23,732
And

1160
00:48:23,757 --> 00:48:24,311
quite honestly

1161
00:48:24,327 --> 00:48:25,608
not in Minnesota.

1162
00:48:25,991 --> 00:48:26,936
Not in Minnesota.

1163
00:48:27,538 --> 00:48:28,444
This is uhm...

1164
00:48:29,124 --> 00:48:30,155
something that I think I've...

1165
00:48:30,725 --> 00:48:33,514
never seen before in any city that I lived in at least

1166
00:48:33,819 --> 00:48:34,241
It says,

1167
00:48:34,608 --> 00:48:38,576
'You are now entering the Free state of George Floyd'

1168
00:48:39,186 --> 00:48:40,061
What does that mean?

1169
00:48:41,843 --> 00:48:42,451
It means

1170
00:48:42,725 --> 00:48:44,795
this is an autonomous zone

1171
00:48:45,459 --> 00:48:48,006
and it operates outside the laws

1172
00:48:48,787 --> 00:48:50,067
of United States

1173
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,672
And anything that happens here, is run by a community

1174
00:48:56,021 --> 00:48:57,021
and...

1175
00:48:57,966 --> 00:48:59,192
they do whatever they want.

1176
00:48:59,525 --> 00:49:00,579
They do whatever they want.

1177
00:49:00,728 --> 00:49:03,173
How is that allowed in the United States?

1178
00:49:04,439 --> 00:49:05,908
The city of Minneapolis,

1179
00:49:06,993 --> 00:49:07,312
has

1180
00:49:07,337 --> 00:49:07,993
has been

1181
00:49:08,018 --> 00:49:09,118
has been negotiating

1182
00:49:10,322 --> 00:49:12,002
Negotiating with whom?

1183
00:49:12,392 --> 00:49:13,447
With the community.

1184
00:49:13,814 --> 00:49:14,103
Wow

1185
00:49:15,017 --> 00:49:17,799
So the city is being held hostage by...

1186
00:49:18,135 --> 00:49:19,126
the community

1187
00:49:19,260 --> 00:49:21,228
that is running the autonomous zone.

1188
00:49:21,267 --> 00:49:22,665
Do I have that understood?

1189
00:49:22,986 --> 00:49:23,798
Thats correct.

1190
00:49:23,986 --> 00:49:24,345
Wow

1191
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,250
So we are now entering

1192
00:49:27,275 --> 00:49:28,500
a state

1193
00:49:28,525 --> 00:49:30,259
where really anything goes

1194
00:49:30,517 --> 00:49:30,790
right?

1195
00:49:31,806 --> 00:49:33,970
Really sort of 'Anything goes' right?

1196
00:49:34,322 --> 00:49:35,322
Well...

1197
00:49:35,971 --> 00:49:36,971
I think...

1198
00:49:37,135 --> 00:49:38,267
anything goes here.

1199
00:49:38,299 --> 00:49:39,220
We've seen death.

1200
00:49:39,260 --> 00:49:40,923
We've seen a man shot...

1201
00:49:41,508 --> 00:49:42,977
right in front of us.

1202
00:49:43,002 --> 00:49:44,042
We've seen...

1203
00:49:44,188 --> 00:49:45,517
a woman who was pregnant,

1204
00:49:45,564 --> 00:49:47,072
shot right in front of us.

1205
00:49:47,447 --> 00:49:48,290
And...

1206
00:49:48,556 --> 00:49:49,446
right here.

1207
00:49:49,955 --> 00:49:51,142
We had a huge bus

1208
00:49:51,205 --> 00:49:52,329
Like a school bus

1209
00:49:52,853 --> 00:49:54,150
and it was a clinic.

1210
00:49:54,494 --> 00:49:56,174
It was a medical clinic.

1211
00:49:56,306 --> 00:50:00,392
And the number one thing they were treating, during the time of the riots,

1212
00:50:00,877 --> 00:50:01,384
was...

1213
00:50:01,409 --> 00:50:02,587
gunshot wounds

1214
00:50:02,619 --> 00:50:03,212
right here.

1215
00:50:04,627 --> 00:50:07,673
As I'm looking around there's so many empty shops on the block.

1216
00:50:07,697 --> 00:50:08,970
Things that are boarded up.

1217
00:50:10,329 --> 00:50:11,742
How does that make you feel to see that?

1218
00:50:11,767 --> 00:50:13,970
Is there ever going to be life again on this street?

1219
00:50:14,611 --> 00:50:16,131
Well I feel like...

1220
00:50:17,392 --> 00:50:19,611
There has been a tremendous loss

1221
00:50:20,424 --> 00:50:21,424
of...

1222
00:50:23,033 --> 00:50:25,103
the way of life here has changed.

1223
00:50:25,392 --> 00:50:26,392
The economy,

1224
00:50:26,510 --> 00:50:28,190
the destruction of...

1225
00:50:28,383 --> 00:50:29,173
businesses.

1226
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,033
Most of the businesses here that were destroyed,

1227
00:50:33,096 --> 00:50:35,189
their insurance would not be able to cover that.

1228
00:50:35,214 --> 00:50:35,533
Right

1229
00:50:35,752 --> 00:50:36,752
And so...

1230
00:50:37,025 --> 00:50:40,001
its a hard thing for people to rebuild themselves.

1231
00:50:40,705 --> 00:50:42,361
Especially after what they went through

1232
00:50:42,861 --> 00:50:45,173
It almost seems like a vigil is being kept here.

1233
00:50:45,596 --> 00:50:45,892
Well...

1234
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:47,915
this is pretty much...

1235
00:50:48,338 --> 00:50:49,126
the body...

1236
00:50:50,283 --> 00:50:51,483
of George Floyd.

1237
00:50:51,665 --> 00:50:52,470
This is where

1238
00:50:53,635 --> 00:50:54,675
he laid dead

1239
00:50:57,213 --> 00:50:59,024
and breathed his last right here.

1240
00:51:00,204 --> 00:51:02,360
And so the idea is that no one should enter

1241
00:51:02,385 --> 00:51:04,649
this is sort of a sacred place, is that correct?

1242
00:51:05,681 --> 00:51:06,985
Yeah, you can see this...

1243
00:51:07,024 --> 00:51:08,297
is pretty much a holy ground.

1244
00:51:10,189 --> 00:51:12,141
Now you're a pastor so I just wanted to ask you

1245
00:51:12,829 --> 00:51:14,133
how does it make you feel

1246
00:51:15,399 --> 00:51:18,540
knowing obviously who George Floyd was and how he lived his life

1247
00:51:19,454 --> 00:51:23,038
to see that this has been transformed into a holy ground

1248
00:51:23,852 --> 00:51:25,289
y'know as if this is where...

1249
00:51:26,337 --> 00:51:28,024
Jesus Christ took his last breath.

1250
00:51:29,126 --> 00:51:29,438
Well

1251
00:51:30,274 --> 00:51:31,414
we have better...

1252
00:51:32,165 --> 00:51:33,525
people to follow.

1253
00:51:35,665 --> 00:51:37,086
Of course, Jesus Christ

1254
00:51:37,344 --> 00:51:39,024
Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

1255
00:51:39,594 --> 00:51:41,328
who have lived their lives

1256
00:51:42,462 --> 00:51:45,516
and epitomized what we would like to emulate.

1257
00:51:45,704 --> 00:51:45,946
Right

1258
00:51:46,305 --> 00:51:46,617
Right

1259
00:51:47,024 --> 00:51:48,711
And how does it make you feel,

1260
00:51:48,899 --> 00:51:51,500
when you hear leaders saying that...

1261
00:51:51,868 --> 00:51:55,344
the death of George Floyd is more significant than Martin Luther King?

1262
00:51:57,673 --> 00:51:58,602
Its outrageous

1263
00:52:03,427 --> 00:52:05,160
I guess I would've assumed

1264
00:52:05,544 --> 00:52:08,173
when Black Lives Matter announced that they raised

1265
00:52:08,197 --> 00:52:08,817
90--

1266
00:52:08,865 --> 00:52:10,528
over $90 million dollars

1267
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:11,684
who knows how much over.

1268
00:52:12,583 --> 00:52:15,013
On the back of the George Floyd...

1269
00:52:17,029 --> 00:52:18,629
riots and the sprees...

1270
00:52:19,568 --> 00:52:20,317
where is that money?

1271
00:52:22,068 --> 00:52:22,513
I don't know

1272
00:52:23,826 --> 00:52:24,575
Its not here

1273
00:52:27,029 --> 00:52:29,295
Everything looks worse than it was.

1274
00:52:30,145 --> 00:52:31,316
Is it possible that...

1275
00:52:31,701 --> 00:52:34,301
black america was sorta used as a front

1276
00:52:34,779 --> 00:52:38,278
and the emotions that black america was feeling was used as a front and...

1277
00:52:38,684 --> 00:52:39,418
this money went...

1278
00:52:40,105 --> 00:52:42,261
probably, maybe not to black people at all

1279
00:52:42,442 --> 00:52:43,512
anywhere in the world.

1280
00:52:43,645 --> 00:52:45,684
So many elements of people

1281
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,621
who took advantage of the death of George Floyd

1282
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,637
to starve the emotions for political gain

1283
00:52:52,059 --> 00:52:53,215
for financial gain

1284
00:52:53,927 --> 00:52:55,607
and to propagate division

1285
00:52:55,756 --> 00:52:58,489
because some of these organizations that raised money

1286
00:52:59,247 --> 00:52:59,646
they

1287
00:52:59,662 --> 00:53:00,021
they can

1288
00:53:00,046 --> 00:53:00,709
they can only

1289
00:53:00,734 --> 00:53:01,279
they can only get

1290
00:53:01,304 --> 00:53:01,919
they can only get money

1291
00:53:01,944 --> 00:53:02,380
they can only get money if

1292
00:53:02,405 --> 00:53:03,373
they can only get money if they

1293
00:53:03,397 --> 00:53:04,099
they can only get money if they propagate

1294
00:53:04,131 --> 00:53:04,964
they can only get money if they propagate hatred

1295
00:53:04,989 --> 00:53:05,841
they can only get money if they propagate hatred and division

1296
00:53:06,014 --> 00:53:07,731
They are not helping the community

1297
00:53:08,224 --> 00:53:09,348
They are helping themselves

1298
00:53:31,374 --> 00:53:34,514
Where have you seen that money impacted throughout the city?

1299
00:53:36,898 --> 00:53:38,077
Democratic politics

1300
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:50,918
We got a car out there

1301
00:53:50,943 --> 00:53:51,895
its just sitting there

1302
00:53:52,676 --> 00:53:55,137
We couldn't do nothing with it because he didn't...

1303
00:53:56,942 --> 00:53:58,566
they won't take it or move it

1304
00:53:59,059 --> 00:54:00,277
And it's just shocking to me

1305
00:54:00,747 --> 00:54:03,926
because of how much money was raised to think that where he lived

1306
00:54:04,122 --> 00:54:05,379
the bills weren't being covered.

1307
00:54:06,700 --> 00:54:10,777
So Black Lives Matter released their 990 IRS filings

1308
00:54:10,802 --> 00:54:11,691
And of course,

1309
00:54:11,958 --> 00:54:14,457
I wanted to jump right into it and find out

1310
00:54:14,482 --> 00:54:16,418
exactly what happened to the approximate

1311
00:54:16,443 --> 00:54:18,113
$80 million dollars

1312
00:54:18,451 --> 00:54:19,505
that was raised by them

1313
00:54:19,530 --> 00:54:23,325
between July 1st,2020 and June 30th, 2021

1314
00:54:24,170 --> 00:54:25,530
{\an8}Okay, Vivek so...

1315
00:54:25,773 --> 00:54:28,648
{\an8}during the George Floyd death

1316
00:54:28,845 --> 00:54:29,852
{\an8}and the aftermath

1317
00:54:29,884 --> 00:54:31,958
{\an8}you were in Silicon Valley, is that correct?

1318
00:54:32,247 --> 00:54:33,903
Yeah, I was running a biotech company actually

1319
00:54:33,936 --> 00:54:34,489
and err..

1320
00:54:34,521 --> 00:54:35,740
I was CEO at the time, thats right.

1321
00:54:36,302 --> 00:54:38,443
What was the corporate reaction in Silicon Valley?

1322
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,591
It was a pledge of alligience to one cause.

1323
00:54:41,670 --> 00:54:43,030
To turn this man,

1324
00:54:43,670 --> 00:54:45,239
who had died from a tragic death no doubt

1325
00:54:45,701 --> 00:54:48,372
into some type of new modern messiah figure.

1326
00:54:48,443 --> 00:54:51,871
And I thought that the religious quality of every company

1327
00:54:51,896 --> 00:54:53,482
bending the knee was a bit odd.

1328
00:54:53,513 --> 00:54:53,950
And...

1329
00:54:53,990 --> 00:54:56,074
I was actually pretty keen on making sure that...

1330
00:54:56,099 --> 00:54:57,193
I didn't lie to my employees

1331
00:54:57,218 --> 00:54:59,763
that I didn't tell something that I didn't believe about this

1332
00:54:59,974 --> 00:55:01,669
I sent an Employee All email

1333
00:55:01,716 --> 00:55:04,614
and I said "Look I understand there's racial riots across the country"

1334
00:55:05,326 --> 00:55:07,592
"There's unrest across the country, I hope everybody is safe"

1335
00:55:07,966 --> 00:55:09,521
"Let us know if you need us to support you"

1336
00:55:09,756 --> 00:55:10,474
that was about it.

1337
00:55:11,076 --> 00:55:12,997
And I remembered the reaction that I got.

1338
00:55:13,779 --> 00:55:14,169
That...

1339
00:55:14,271 --> 00:55:16,474
somehow that failed to meet the moment.

1340
00:55:16,701 --> 00:55:18,834
Because I didn't recite the same

1341
00:55:18,896 --> 00:55:22,778
ritual incantation that every other CEO
was pledging alligience to across the country.

1342
00:55:23,177 --> 00:55:26,388
A corporate statement made by the same PR firm that effectively ended in

1343
00:55:26,435 --> 00:55:27,388
"Black Lives Matter"

1344
00:55:27,693 --> 00:55:28,575
Yeah, abosolutely.

1345
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,833
And we've been sorta investigating
throughout this documentary

1346
00:55:30,858 --> 00:55:32,615
Where did the money go, that was given to Black Lives Matter

1347
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,396
We've never even really got a full answer of
how much money was given.

1348
00:55:35,521 --> 00:55:36,216
I often say that

1349
00:55:36,232 --> 00:55:38,646
BLM now stands for "Buy Lavish Mansions"

1350
00:55:38,671 --> 00:55:40,451
because thats why the BLM movement does.

1351
00:55:40,514 --> 00:55:42,137
You just saw in the recent weeks there was

1352
00:55:42,162 --> 00:55:44,787
a person who was effectively working for BLM

1353
00:55:44,951 --> 00:55:46,771
that personally purchased a mansion

1354
00:55:46,796 --> 00:55:48,435
and she pays $3 million dollars for it.

1355
00:55:48,881 --> 00:55:49,458
Within

1356
00:55:49,483 --> 00:55:49,927
Within days

1357
00:55:49,952 --> 00:55:51,685
I think its 48 hours later,

1358
00:55:51,928 --> 00:55:52,928
flips that

1359
00:55:53,381 --> 00:55:55,061
to the BLM organization

1360
00:55:55,086 --> 00:55:57,394
who pays nearly $6 million dollars

1361
00:55:57,419 --> 00:55:58,201
for that same house

1362
00:55:58,226 --> 00:56:00,747
booking a personal profit to the person who actually brought it.

1363
00:56:00,771 --> 00:56:02,886
So thats a self-dealing transaction,

1364
00:56:02,911 --> 00:56:05,958
that enriches somebody personally who's working for Black Lives Matter

1365
00:56:06,396 --> 00:56:07,521
Why is BLM

1366
00:56:07,546 --> 00:56:09,309
buying big lavish mansions

1367
00:56:09,334 --> 00:56:10,279
in the first place?

1368
00:56:10,381 --> 00:56:12,443
When their donors were understandably

1369
00:56:12,468 --> 00:56:14,669
outraged by the luxurious purchase,

1370
00:56:14,693 --> 00:56:16,458
Patrisse Cullors came forth

1371
00:56:16,484 --> 00:56:17,764
and also admitted

1372
00:56:17,781 --> 00:56:19,686
that she hired both her mother

1373
00:56:19,711 --> 00:56:21,678
and her brother to work at the property

1374
00:56:22,179 --> 00:56:23,772
What sort of work you ask?

1375
00:56:24,046 --> 00:56:24,428
Well

1376
00:56:24,898 --> 00:56:26,507
Patrisse Cullors's brother

1377
00:56:26,781 --> 00:56:27,491
Paul Cullors

1378
00:56:27,516 --> 00:56:29,264
is a graffiti artist by trade

1379
00:56:29,757 --> 00:56:31,116
thats what he's done his entire life

1380
00:56:31,141 --> 00:56:32,491
he's done graffiti

1381
00:56:32,696 --> 00:56:34,828
Patrisse instead hired her brother

1382
00:56:34,853 --> 00:56:37,305
to do security for her

1383
00:56:37,732 --> 00:56:38,772
She paid Paul

1384
00:56:38,797 --> 00:56:42,359
$840,000

1385
00:56:42,482 --> 00:56:44,388
thats almost a million dollars

1386
00:56:44,428 --> 00:56:45,701
in just one year

1387
00:56:45,724 --> 00:56:47,880
to her graffiti artist brother

1388
00:56:47,912 --> 00:56:50,271
his newly established security firm

1389
00:56:50,849 --> 00:56:52,052
Now that makes her a great sister.

1390
00:56:52,068 --> 00:56:52,958
But perhaps,

1391
00:56:52,974 --> 00:56:54,395
she's an even better

1392
00:56:54,420 --> 00:56:54,943
baby momma

1393
00:56:54,968 --> 00:56:57,982
because Patrisse also gave funding from Black Lives Matter

1394
00:56:58,209 --> 00:56:59,669
to take care of the man

1395
00:56:59,694 --> 00:56:59,951
to take care of the man who

1396
00:56:59,976 --> 00:57:00,201
to take care of the man who fathered

1397
00:57:00,226 --> 00:57:00,467
to take care of the man who fathered her

1398
00:57:00,492 --> 00:57:01,022
to take care of the man who fathered her son.

1399
00:57:01,498 --> 00:57:03,138
His name is Damon Turner

1400
00:57:03,162 --> 00:57:07,091
and he received $970,000

1401
00:57:07,116 --> 00:57:07,759
from BLM

1402
00:57:07,955 --> 00:57:10,642
to his company Trap Heals LLC

1403
00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:15,119
which purportedly provided live production and media

1404
00:57:15,338 --> 00:57:17,282
So that makes Patrisse a great sister

1405
00:57:17,307 --> 00:57:18,814
a wonderful baby momma

1406
00:57:18,830 --> 00:57:20,485
and also by the way,

1407
00:57:20,510 --> 00:57:21,251
she's a fun mom!

1408
00:57:21,705 --> 00:57:26,125
Because one of the events Patrisse organized at her BLM mansion

1409
00:57:26,150 --> 00:57:28,603
was for her young son's birthday party.

1410
00:57:29,181 --> 00:57:31,297
Nothing says taking on police brutality

1411
00:57:31,322 --> 00:57:34,867
quite like hosting a birthday for your young son

1412
00:57:34,892 --> 00:57:37,219
in a Los Angeles mansion

1413
00:57:37,244 --> 00:57:39,775
paid for by donors to the cause.

1414
00:57:40,377 --> 00:57:41,587
Patrisse likes parties by the way,

1415
00:57:41,612 --> 00:57:44,055
because she also threw a party there

1416
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:48,510
to celebrate the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

1417
00:57:48,901 --> 00:57:51,260
Yeah, thats somewhat suspicious because...

1418
00:57:51,854 --> 00:57:54,822
what do democrats have to do with Black Lives Matter?

1419
00:57:55,416 --> 00:57:58,049
Think I'll just leave that question open ended.

1420
00:57:58,627 --> 00:58:01,838
Also suspicious is the fact that Black Lives Matter

1421
00:58:01,870 --> 00:58:03,502
designated a whopping

1422
00:58:03,527 --> 00:58:04,182
$8

1423
00:58:04,207 --> 00:58:05,260
$8 million

1424
00:58:05,285 --> 00:58:06,244
$8 million dollars

1425
00:58:06,268 --> 00:58:07,868
to an out-of-country grant.

1426
00:58:08,057 --> 00:58:08,408
What?

1427
00:58:08,698 --> 00:58:10,197
I thought this charity was about

1428
00:58:10,222 --> 00:58:12,744
addressing police brutality in the United States

1429
00:58:12,948 --> 00:58:14,572
Apparently to do that

1430
00:58:14,580 --> 00:58:18,423
you need to send $8 million dollars to Toronto, Canada

1431
00:58:18,448 --> 00:58:19,736
to an organization named

1432
00:58:19,761 --> 00:58:20,135
to an organization named M

1433
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:20,478
to an organization named M4

1434
00:58:20,494 --> 00:58:20,705
to an organization named M4B

1435
00:58:20,730 --> 00:58:21,049
to an organization named M4BJ

1436
00:58:21,627 --> 00:58:22,595
They purchased

1437
00:58:22,620 --> 00:58:24,768
They purchased a $6.3 million dollar

1438
00:58:24,783 --> 00:58:26,618
They purchased a $6.3 million dollar, 10,000 sqft

1439
00:58:26,643 --> 00:58:27,955
They purchased a $6.3 million dollar, 10,000 sqft, downtown property

1440
00:58:27,987 --> 00:58:28,987
They purchased a $6.3 million dollar, 10,000 sqft, downtown property in Toronto

1441
00:58:29,205 --> 00:58:32,048
And I should almost mention that M4BJ

1442
00:58:32,073 --> 00:58:34,049
is run by Patrisse's wife.

1443
00:58:34,213 --> 00:58:34,955
Janaya Khan

1444
00:58:35,330 --> 00:58:36,127
because it is

1445
00:58:36,151 --> 00:58:38,751
she is the co-founder,believe it or not

1446
00:58:38,846 --> 00:58:40,189
and here's where it gets

1447
00:58:40,205 --> 00:58:41,010
and here's where it gets really

1448
00:58:41,026 --> 00:58:42,026
and here's where it gets really interesting

1449
00:58:43,252 --> 00:58:44,970
Janaya Khan is

1450
00:58:44,995 --> 00:58:47,166
Janaya Khan is "gender non-conforming"

1451
00:58:47,213 --> 00:58:50,783
these terms can be quite sensitive so let me just use photos to illustrate my point

1452
00:58:50,971 --> 00:58:53,025
Janaya used to look like this

1453
00:58:53,369 --> 00:58:55,010
and now she looks like this

1454
00:58:55,346 --> 00:58:57,603
now that infomation would be entirely irrelevant

1455
00:58:57,628 --> 00:58:59,039
if it wasn't for...

1456
00:58:59,064 --> 00:59:01,588
the way Patrisse saw it fit to spend

1457
00:59:01,635 --> 00:59:04,168
<u><b>the rest</b></u> of Black Lives Matter's money

1458
00:59:04,299 --> 00:59:05,979
ready for some BLM pride?

1459
00:59:06,338 --> 00:59:08,486
Well, according to their IRS form

1460
00:59:08,596 --> 00:59:14,041
{\an8}$200,000 went to the Transgender Justice Funding Project

1461
00:59:14,448 --> 00:59:18,533
{\an8}Another $200,000 went to the Transgender United Fund

1462
00:59:19,025 --> 00:59:23,150
{\an8}Another $200,000 went to the Transgender Law Center

1463
00:59:23,588 --> 00:59:27,908
{\an8}Another $200,000 went to the Black Transgender Media

1464
00:59:28,346 --> 00:59:34,986
{\an8}Another $200,000 went to the Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project

1465
00:59:35,432 --> 00:59:40,033
{\an8}Another $200,000 went to the Transgender District

1466
00:59:40,275 --> 00:59:42,033
{\an8}by the way, if you're wondering what that is

1467
00:59:42,088 --> 00:59:45,306
{\an8}its purportedly going to be the all transgender district

1468
00:59:45,346 --> 00:59:46,789
{\an8}and I guess thats really,

1469
00:59:46,814 --> 00:59:51,017
{\an8}really important for black america advancement in society

1470
00:59:51,143 --> 00:59:52,580
{\an8}I guess or whatever

1471
00:59:53,143 --> 00:59:57,712
{\an8}Another $200,000 went to the St James Infirmary

1472
00:59:57,971 --> 01:00:00,306
{\an8}that organization by the way is for

1473
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,306
{\an8}according to their website

1474
01:00:01,970 --> 01:00:03,923
{\an8}is run by sex workers and is for them.

1475
01:00:03,986 --> 01:00:04,986
{\an8}Specifically

1476
01:00:05,009 --> 01:00:06,009
{\an8}Escorts

1477
01:00:06,034 --> 01:00:07,415
{\an8}Escorts, BDSM workers

1478
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:08,228
{\an8}Escorts, BDSM workers, Strippers

1479
01:00:08,253 --> 01:00:09,548
{\an8}Escorts, BDSM workers, Strippers, Peep Show Workers

1480
01:00:09,573 --> 01:00:10,845
{\an8}Escorts, BDSM workers, Strippers, Peep Show Workers, Phone Sex Operators

1481
01:00:10,861 --> 01:00:12,337
{\an8}Escorts, BDSM workers, Strippers, Peep Show Workers, Phone Sex Operators, and Webcam Performers

1482
01:00:12,806 --> 01:00:16,493
{\an8}It was actually the St James Infirmary that created the

1483
01:00:16,518 --> 01:00:18,243
{\an8}Transgender District

1484
01:00:18,541 --> 01:00:20,118
So thats just an organization

1485
01:00:20,143 --> 01:00:21,943
within another organization

1486
01:00:22,237 --> 01:00:25,322
Which by the way, you see a lot of when you go through these documents

1487
01:00:25,666 --> 01:00:26,018
So yeah...

1488
01:00:26,627 --> 01:00:29,166
going to be apparently great big things involving

1489
01:00:29,191 --> 01:00:32,830
sex workers in the future for black america

1490
01:00:33,213 --> 01:00:34,307
{\an8}In continuation,

1491
01:00:34,332 --> 01:00:38,660
{\an8}the Center On Halsted received $200,000 from Black Lives Matter

1492
01:00:39,019 --> 01:00:42,095
{\an8}they are Chicago's community center

1493
01:00:42,128 --> 01:00:45,096
{\an8}dedicated to securing the health and well-being

1494
01:00:45,121 --> 01:00:45,910
{\an8}of Lesbian

1495
01:00:45,935 --> 01:00:46,472
{\an8}of Lesbian, Gay

1496
01:00:46,497 --> 01:00:47,534
{\an8}of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual

1497
01:00:47,559 --> 01:00:48,253
{\an8}of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender

1498
01:00:48,270 --> 01:00:50,011
{\an8}of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer people of Chicago

1499
01:00:50,402 --> 01:00:53,096
{\an8}Similarly, we have the Audre Lorde Project

1500
01:00:53,121 --> 01:00:55,254
{\an8}which received $200,000

1501
01:00:55,293 --> 01:00:56,972
{\an8}and according to their website

1502
01:00:56,996 --> 01:01:04,043
{\an8}they're a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Trans,
and Gender Non-Conforming People Of Color

1503
01:01:04,067 --> 01:01:06,246
{\an8}community organizing center.

1504
01:01:06,902 --> 01:01:09,652
{\an8}Another $400,000 went to

1505
01:01:09,677 --> 01:01:13,588
{\an8}Transgender Advocates Knowledgeable Empowering

1506
01:01:13,613 --> 01:01:16,339
{\an8}or TAKE as its known for short

1507
01:01:16,738 --> 01:01:17,979
{\an8}Founder of that organization

1508
01:01:18,004 --> 01:01:21,073
{\an8}is a transgendered individual by the name of

1509
01:01:21,098 --> 01:01:23,206
{\an8}Daroneshia Duncan-Boyd

1510
01:01:23,527 --> 01:01:26,237
{\an8}Daroneshia is also the executive director

1511
01:01:26,262 --> 01:01:29,340
{\an8}of the Transgender United Front which I mentioned earlier

1512
01:01:29,365 --> 01:01:31,558
{\an8}which secured $200,000

1513
01:01:31,638 --> 01:01:35,425
{\an8}So a total $600,000 of BLM money

1514
01:01:35,450 --> 01:01:39,966
{\an8}went to a transgender woman named Daroneshia Boyd

1515
01:01:40,286 --> 01:01:41,903
{\an8}who is operating two charities

1516
01:01:41,934 --> 01:01:44,364
{\an8}I found that piece to be

1517
01:01:44,389 --> 01:01:45,317
{\an8}I found that piece to be very

1518
01:01:45,342 --> 01:01:46,676
{\an8}I found that piece to be very interesting

1519
01:01:46,905 --> 01:01:50,396
{\an8}Here is Daroneshia describing in a 2020 interview

1520
01:01:50,725 --> 01:01:52,779
{\an8}how they were able to use that money

1521
01:01:52,804 --> 01:01:55,663
{\an8}that was received to the organization to purchase

1522
01:01:55,688 --> 01:01:56,946
{\an8}more real estate.

1523
01:01:56,971 --> 01:01:59,774
We're opening up a new resource center here

1524
01:01:59,799 --> 01:02:01,961
and the resource center is

1525
01:02:01,986 --> 01:02:02,703
almost

1526
01:02:02,727 --> 01:02:03,984
almost three times

1527
01:02:04,009 --> 01:02:06,797
as big as our last space that we was in

1528
01:02:06,822 --> 01:02:09,243
uhm so...we have lotsa space

1529
01:02:09,338 --> 01:02:12,603
and lotsa rooms for our class to come in and enjoy

1530
01:02:13,432 --> 01:02:16,588
{\an8}I noticed that real estate seems to be a common theme

1531
01:02:16,621 --> 01:02:19,166
{\an8}amongst these transgendered organizations

1532
01:02:19,182 --> 01:02:21,908
{\an8}remember theres the "first ever transgender district"

1533
01:02:22,049 --> 01:02:25,806
{\an8}and there are also a couple of houses that are named on their IRS documents

1534
01:02:26,088 --> 01:02:30,197
{\an8}For example, an additional $200,000 was given to

1535
01:02:30,222 --> 01:02:31,627
{\an8}The House of Tulip

1536
01:02:32,190 --> 01:02:33,228
{\an8}Who according to their website...

1537
01:02:33,253 --> 01:02:34,658
{\an8}The House of Tulip provides

1538
01:02:34,682 --> 01:02:39,908
{\an8}zero-barrier housing to trans and gender nonconforming people

1539
01:02:40,487 --> 01:02:43,993
{\an8}but the one that really stood out as the most nonsensical

1540
01:02:44,018 --> 01:02:46,533
{\an8}is the $200,000 that went to the

1541
01:02:46,744 --> 01:02:49,884
{\an8}Griffin-Gracy Retreat & Educational Center

1542
01:02:49,909 --> 01:02:50,837
{\an8}known as

1543
01:02:50,862 --> 01:02:52,532
{\an8}House of GG for short

1544
01:02:53,361 --> 01:02:54,423
{\an8}According to that website

1545
01:02:54,448 --> 01:02:57,203
{\an8}they provide services and resources that

1546
01:02:57,228 --> 01:02:59,337
{\an8}positively impact the lives

1547
01:02:59,362 --> 01:02:59,993
{\an8}positively impact the lives, history

1548
01:03:00,017 --> 01:03:00,954
{\an8}positively impact the lives, history, and visiblity

1549
01:03:00,979 --> 01:03:06,221
{\an8}of transgender, gender questioning, and gender non-conforming persons

1550
01:03:06,737 --> 01:03:08,744
They admit that they purchased a property

1551
01:03:08,769 --> 01:03:10,104
in Little Rock, Arkansas

1552
01:03:10,129 --> 01:03:11,268
back in 2019.

1553
01:03:11,293 --> 01:03:12,457
And that property

1554
01:03:12,482 --> 01:03:13,707
was supposed to serve

1555
01:03:13,732 --> 01:03:16,988
as a oasis and a retreat for transgender persons.

1556
01:03:17,152 --> 01:03:18,331
But they admit

1557
01:03:18,356 --> 01:03:19,699
also on the website

1558
01:03:19,724 --> 01:03:22,964
that they actually never held such a retreat.

1559
01:03:23,387 --> 01:03:26,293
First, because their founder had a stroke and was recovering.

1560
01:03:26,317 --> 01:03:27,158
And then,

1561
01:03:27,183 --> 01:03:30,300
it was Covid-19 so they still couldn't host the retreat.

1562
01:03:30,473 --> 01:03:32,980
And despite having never hosted a retreat

1563
01:03:33,005 --> 01:03:36,205
at this amazing oasis property that they purchased

1564
01:03:36,473 --> 01:03:37,691
In 2021,

1565
01:03:37,910 --> 01:03:39,371
they announced that they purchased

1566
01:03:39,387 --> 01:03:40,510
a second property

1567
01:03:40,535 --> 01:03:42,089
next door to the first one.

1568
01:03:42,426 --> 01:03:42,925
So...

1569
01:03:43,426 --> 01:03:43,996
yeah.

1570
01:03:44,504 --> 01:03:45,464
Now...

1571
01:03:45,489 --> 01:03:48,433
all of the organizations that I just mentioned,

1572
01:03:48,458 --> 01:03:49,148
none of them

1573
01:03:49,173 --> 01:03:50,320
not one

1574
01:03:50,345 --> 01:03:53,421
is up to date on filing a tax return with the IRS

1575
01:03:53,446 --> 01:03:55,274
which is required

1576
01:03:55,299 --> 01:03:56,046
which is required for charities.

1577
01:03:56,071 --> 01:03:57,071
Because charities remember,

1578
01:03:57,096 --> 01:03:58,337
they don't pay taxes.

1579
01:03:58,362 --> 01:03:59,291
In other words,

1580
01:03:59,323 --> 01:04:01,478
I'm not able to tell you how any

1581
01:04:01,503 --> 01:04:03,204
of these transgender organizations

1582
01:04:03,229 --> 01:04:05,323
spent the money that BLM

1583
01:04:05,348 --> 01:04:10,707
poured into the organizations during the 2020 and 2021 tax year

1584
01:04:11,387 --> 01:04:14,492
If you continue to look through BLM IRS docs,

1585
01:04:14,517 --> 01:04:15,793
you'll notice that they gave

1586
01:04:15,818 --> 01:04:19,418
millions of dollars to various Black Lives Matter organizations

1587
01:04:19,450 --> 01:04:20,503
throughout America.

1588
01:04:20,528 --> 01:04:21,613
Or at least at first glance,

1589
01:04:21,638 --> 01:04:23,183
it appears that they did.

1590
01:04:23,364 --> 01:04:26,566
A closer look, you'll see that they actually dispersed that funding

1591
01:04:26,590 --> 01:04:28,582
to organizations that were

1592
01:04:28,607 --> 01:04:31,590
<i><u>in care</u></i> of Black Lives Matter

1593
01:04:32,114 --> 01:04:33,168
This means that actually

1594
01:04:33,193 --> 01:04:35,833
another organization is accepting the donation

1595
01:04:35,858 --> 01:04:36,958
on behalf

1596
01:04:36,983 --> 01:04:37,771
of BLM

1597
01:04:38,420 --> 01:04:40,005
So I decided to investigate that further

1598
01:04:40,030 --> 01:04:41,599
and I noticed a really

1599
01:04:41,615 --> 01:04:42,528
and I noticed a really bizarre

1600
01:04:42,552 --> 01:04:43,263
and I noticed a really bizarre pattern

1601
01:04:43,474 --> 01:04:45,473
a lot of those organizations

1602
01:04:45,498 --> 01:04:47,083
train activists

1603
01:04:47,591 --> 01:04:50,075
They train the youth to become activists

1604
01:04:50,100 --> 01:04:51,630
in their communities

1605
01:04:51,755 --> 01:04:55,114
One organization even goes as far as bragging

1606
01:04:55,138 --> 01:04:57,013
on their website about their history

1607
01:04:57,038 --> 01:04:58,638
of getting arrested

1608
01:04:58,663 --> 01:04:59,396
of getting arrested protesting

1609
01:04:59,421 --> 01:05:01,099
and they offer courses

1610
01:05:01,124 --> 01:05:02,732
on various techniques like

1611
01:05:02,757 --> 01:05:03,950
Bird-dogging

1612
01:05:04,208 --> 01:05:06,543
Thats a technique thats used to confront politicians

1613
01:05:07,450 --> 01:05:08,231
I thought to myself,

1614
01:05:08,411 --> 01:05:10,926
its interesting because I kept hearing over and over again

1615
01:05:10,951 --> 01:05:12,504
while fliming this documentary

1616
01:05:12,746 --> 01:05:16,206
that people felt as though the protestors had arrived throughout these cities

1617
01:05:16,231 --> 01:05:18,402
weren't actually from the cities that they arrived in

1618
01:05:18,427 --> 01:05:19,637
they didn't know where they had come from

1619
01:05:20,356 --> 01:05:23,011
Buses, there was this idea that buses were showing up

1620
01:05:23,036 --> 01:05:24,395
filled with protestors.

1621
01:05:25,106 --> 01:05:26,590
Its a fair question then,

1622
01:05:26,801 --> 01:05:28,001
is it plausible...

1623
01:05:28,036 --> 01:05:31,926
that Patrisse was giving money to groups that were creating protestors?

1624
01:05:31,950 --> 01:05:33,883
or training activists rather.

1625
01:05:33,989 --> 01:05:39,270
I mean why else would Patrisse give
millions of dollars to so many trained activists

1626
01:05:39,567 --> 01:05:42,559
I wanted to investigate that piece a little further and so...

1627
01:05:42,794 --> 01:05:43,676
I made some phone calls.

1628
01:05:44,622 --> 01:05:46,332
So I wanna call some of these groups today

1629
01:05:46,723 --> 01:05:49,059
pretend that I wanna give money to the organization

1630
01:05:49,598 --> 01:05:50,067
and...

1631
01:05:50,176 --> 01:05:52,348
see what I can find out about what they do

1632
01:05:52,872 --> 01:05:53,910
Why do I get the feeling that

1633
01:05:53,935 --> 01:05:58,073
none of these multi-million dollar organizations are gonna

1634
01:05:58,098 --> 01:05:59,152
pick up the phone?

1635
01:06:43,868 --> 01:06:45,703
How are you guys involved actively?

1636
01:06:45,798 --> 01:06:47,235
Not just in "oh y'know..."

1637
01:06:47,282 --> 01:06:49,680
We'd like to know how you're actually active

1638
01:07:02,822 --> 01:07:03,697
This is great.

1639
01:07:03,736 --> 01:07:04,961
Obviously we were...

1640
01:07:04,986 --> 01:07:10,572
like I said we gave millions and millions of dollars 
after the horrific killing of George Floyd

1641
01:07:11,306 --> 01:07:14,181
If we gave your organization a million dollars,

1642
01:07:14,206 --> 01:07:16,739
and something like that happens...

1643
01:07:17,439 --> 01:07:18,993
How are you getting involved?

1644
01:07:51,183 --> 01:07:52,237
{\an8}Thats so wonderful.

1645
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:01,822
{\an8}Thats wonderful.

1646
01:08:09,510 --> 01:08:10,431
Thats what we wanna see.

1647
01:08:10,456 --> 01:08:11,627
Thats what we're looking for.

1648
01:08:14,275 --> 01:08:15,533
You too, thank you so much.

1649
01:08:19,932 --> 01:08:20,775
Training

1650
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:22,240
Training activists

1651
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,300
Making sure that people's minds are poisoned

1652
01:08:25,338 --> 01:08:28,094
and that they know that they're supported

1653
01:08:28,119 --> 01:08:29,336
through

1654
01:08:29,361 --> 01:08:30,165
through bailing out

1655
01:08:30,190 --> 01:08:31,111
"We will bail you out"

1656
01:08:31,136 --> 01:08:32,579
"We've got the money to bail you out"

1657
01:08:32,667 --> 01:08:34,409
and thats kind what this is all about

1658
01:08:34,434 --> 01:08:35,964
the investigation continues

1659
01:08:44,903 --> 01:08:46,597
And the organization that received

1660
01:08:46,622 --> 01:08:49,307
the <u>biggest</u> grant from Black Lives Matter

1661
01:08:49,332 --> 01:08:50,691
according to their filing

1662
01:08:50,747 --> 01:08:52,042
is an organization called

1663
01:08:52,067 --> 01:08:54,200
Living Through Giving Foundation

1664
01:08:54,715 --> 01:08:57,488
The Living Through Giving Foundation per their mission statement

1665
01:08:57,731 --> 01:09:01,443
'strives to connect people through organized acts of love'

1666
01:09:01,606 --> 01:09:02,924
they run a program called

1667
01:09:02,949 --> 01:09:04,229
#HashtagLunchbag

1668
01:09:04,457 --> 01:09:06,800
this program allegedly brings people together

1669
01:09:06,824 --> 01:09:08,324
to create bagged lunches

1670
01:09:08,402 --> 01:09:10,988
in which they write handwritten love notes

1671
01:09:11,035 --> 01:09:13,754
and then they distribute the bagged lunches to local communities

1672
01:09:13,777 --> 01:09:15,285
that sounds nice right?

1673
01:09:15,793 --> 01:09:16,621
I thought so too.

1674
01:09:16,902 --> 01:09:17,550
I thought to myself

1675
01:09:17,645 --> 01:09:20,363
I want to attend one of these events

1676
01:09:20,527 --> 01:09:23,644
but when I went to their website, there were no upcoming events.

1677
01:09:23,972 --> 01:09:27,158
And when I went to the website to explore past events

1678
01:09:27,183 --> 01:09:29,245
and learn more about the original givers

1679
01:09:29,270 --> 01:09:30,230
I was met with a

1680
01:09:30,255 --> 01:09:31,980
'Coming Soon' page

1681
01:09:32,146 --> 01:09:32,997
So I wondered

1682
01:09:33,036 --> 01:09:36,222
who is the executive director of this organization that accepted

1683
01:09:36,247 --> 01:09:36,887
2

1684
01:09:36,912 --> 01:09:37,294
2.

1685
01:09:37,319 --> 01:09:37,723
2.3

1686
01:09:37,748 --> 01:09:39,020
2.3 million dollars

1687
01:09:39,045 --> 01:09:40,919
from Black Lives Matter Global Foundation

1688
01:09:41,584 --> 01:09:43,427
Of course when I went to the IRS website

1689
01:09:43,452 --> 01:09:46,107
they also had neglected to file an up to date return

1690
01:09:46,232 --> 01:09:47,568
but there was a name at least

1691
01:09:47,608 --> 01:09:49,527
and that name was Ajay Relan

1692
01:09:49,552 --> 01:09:51,684
listed as the executive director

1693
01:09:51,709 --> 01:09:54,615
Ajay owns 3 coffee shops in California

1694
01:09:55,139 --> 01:09:57,177
You'd have to imagine my surprise though

1695
01:09:57,225 --> 01:10:01,529
when I found an article about his coffee shop opening in 2019

1696
01:10:01,717 --> 01:10:05,466
and buried within the piece was a picture of none other than

1697
01:10:05,491 --> 01:10:06,989
Patrisse Cullors

1698
01:10:07,014 --> 01:10:09,872
sitting there with her friends having coffee

1699
01:10:09,897 --> 01:10:11,388
in 2019.

1700
01:10:11,592 --> 01:10:12,267
Meaning,

1701
01:10:12,292 --> 01:10:13,498
Patrisse Cullors

1702
01:10:13,523 --> 01:10:15,153
had a relationship with Ajay Relan

1703
01:10:15,178 --> 01:10:17,357
that predates the George Floyd protests

1704
01:10:17,561 --> 01:10:18,270
So...

1705
01:10:18,295 --> 01:10:22,849
exactly why did she transfer BLM money to her old friend Ajay

1706
01:10:22,874 --> 01:10:26,279
via his charity that is nothing more than really a splash page

1707
01:10:26,304 --> 01:10:27,984
with no upcoming events

1708
01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:30,685
Is she a part owner of those coffee shops?

1709
01:10:30,710 --> 01:10:31,975
Is she an investor?

1710
01:10:32,202 --> 01:10:33,561
I will leave that as the

1711
01:10:33,586 --> 01:10:35,975
'2.3 million dollar' question

1712
01:10:36,399 --> 01:10:37,961
What I can say for certain is that

1713
01:10:37,986 --> 01:10:39,921
you don't just send your non-black friend

1714
01:10:39,946 --> 01:10:41,500
2.3 million dollars

1715
01:10:41,525 --> 01:10:42,601
just because

1716
01:10:43,485 --> 01:10:45,469
Perhaps most hilariously,

1717
01:10:45,719 --> 01:10:48,140
you'll recall that the founders of Black Lives Matter

1718
01:10:48,165 --> 01:10:50,211
pride themselves on being abolitionists

1719
01:10:50,563 --> 01:10:53,696
They want to "abolish the old systems of white supremacy"

1720
01:10:53,719 --> 01:10:58,257
"the systems which keep black america away from garnering our true..."

1721
01:10:58,282 --> 01:11:02,188
"generational wealth and financial freedom in this horrible country"

1722
01:11:02,844 --> 01:11:04,360
{\an8}which makes it somewhat odd

1723
01:11:04,385 --> 01:11:07,452
{\an8}that they invested $32,000,000

1724
01:11:07,477 --> 01:11:08,867
{\an8}into the stock market

1725
01:11:08,892 --> 01:11:09,797
{\an8}Wall Street

1726
01:11:09,821 --> 01:11:13,016
{\an8}what a great way to abolish the system of white supremacy

1727
01:11:13,290 --> 01:11:14,289
invest in stocks

1728
01:11:14,860 --> 01:11:17,702
I think that the IRS docs in the end...

1729
01:11:17,727 --> 01:11:20,609
lead to more questions than they do answers

1730
01:11:20,634 --> 01:11:24,148
and if you were an individual who gave to this organization

1731
01:11:24,173 --> 01:11:25,961
a well meaning individual who gave

1732
01:11:25,986 --> 01:11:28,477
because you thought it was going to <u>help</u> black america

1733
01:11:29,055 --> 01:11:29,360
Then...

1734
01:11:29,749 --> 01:11:32,483
you should get answers to those questions.

1735
01:11:37,054 --> 01:11:38,999
So we're headed to Laurel Canyon

1736
01:11:39,024 --> 01:11:41,100
we've yet to see any black people in this neighbourhood

1737
01:11:41,554 --> 01:11:43,796
there were a ton of cyclists coming through

1738
01:11:44,492 --> 01:11:47,029
not that thats an issue

1739
01:11:47,054 --> 01:11:49,522
but it just seems a bit strange because

1740
01:11:49,547 --> 01:11:51,608
the Black Lives Matter messenging has been

1741
01:11:51,633 --> 01:11:54,382
that black people cannot be safe in white spaces

1742
01:11:54,578 --> 01:11:56,031
So its a unusual decision

1743
01:11:56,056 --> 01:11:57,406
to buy a <u><b>home</b></u>

1744
01:11:58,147 --> 01:12:00,679
in a neighbourhood that doesn't have any black faces

1745
01:12:00,704 --> 01:12:02,475
and is surrounded by...

1746
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:04,873
what we've been told are violent white people

1747
01:12:05,053 --> 01:12:08,851
that don't want to see black americans become better

1748
01:12:08,876 --> 01:12:09,976
So...

1749
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,241
hopefully as we're heading now to the house

1750
01:12:12,266 --> 01:12:13,820
we'll be able to speak to somebody

1751
01:12:13,845 --> 01:12:15,796
speak to somebody on the property.

1752
01:12:16,547 --> 01:12:18,734
Is this a creative space for black americans?

1753
01:12:18,759 --> 01:12:21,843
Why did we purchase this property with the money that was raised

1754
01:12:22,070 --> 01:12:22,632
on

1755
01:12:22,657 --> 01:12:23,164
on the

1756
01:12:23,189 --> 01:12:25,406
faces of so many dead black people?

1757
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:28,884
I'm assuming it's going to be a welcoming enviroment

1758
01:12:29,744 --> 01:12:30,267
We'll see

1759
01:12:31,767 --> 01:12:32,978
So theres definately somebody home

1760
01:12:33,830 --> 01:12:34,540
Hello!

1761
01:12:36,931 --> 01:12:39,689
I was just looking to speak to whoever is at this property

1762
01:12:40,853 --> 01:12:41,181
Sir?

1763
01:12:42,408 --> 01:12:42,798
Hello?

1764
01:12:46,580 --> 01:12:48,540
I don't know if he's going to get someone...

1765
01:12:48,603 --> 01:12:50,493
I see a very cute German Shepard.

1766
01:12:50,767 --> 01:12:51,454
It looks like...

1767
01:12:51,705 --> 01:12:53,531
This morning I woke up

1768
01:12:53,556 --> 01:12:55,477
to Candace Owens

1769
01:12:55,502 --> 01:12:57,719
being outside of my house

1770
01:12:57,744 --> 01:12:58,798
with a news crew

1771
01:12:58,823 --> 01:13:00,125
Looks to be...

1772
01:13:00,150 --> 01:13:01,830
maybe in his mid-forties

1773
01:13:02,111 --> 01:13:02,681
white male

1774
01:13:02,706 --> 01:13:03,290
black hat

1775
01:13:03,315 --> 01:13:04,315
and he is...

1776
01:13:05,181 --> 01:13:08,314
whoever he's spoken to on the phone has instructed...

1777
01:13:09,689 --> 01:13:11,696
has instructed him to record us which is strange

1778
01:13:11,721 --> 01:13:12,649
because we just wanna talk.

1779
01:13:13,095 --> 01:13:15,095
And what I see in the driveway...

1780
01:13:15,954 --> 01:13:16,524
are...

1781
01:13:17,845 --> 01:13:19,095
two cars.

1782
01:13:19,502 --> 01:13:22,564
and a sign that says 'You are exactly where you are supposed to be'

1783
01:13:23,587 --> 01:13:24,360
She

1784
01:13:24,385 --> 01:13:24,954
She was

1785
01:13:24,979 --> 01:13:26,126
She was demanding

1786
01:13:26,797 --> 01:13:28,298
that I...

1787
01:13:28,962 --> 01:13:29,962
come outside

1788
01:13:30,173 --> 01:13:30,790
Hi!

1789
01:13:31,314 --> 01:13:31,954
Hello!

1790
01:13:34,634 --> 01:13:36,376
Hi, you're welcome to record I just wanna talk.

1791
01:13:36,556 --> 01:13:38,204
Are you instructed not to speak to anybody?

1792
01:13:38,229 --> 01:13:40,149
We're not trying to harass you, we'll gladly leave

1793
01:13:40,174 --> 01:13:42,127
We're just wondering if we can speak to anybody?

1794
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:45,255
Sorry, what was that?

1795
01:13:47,529 --> 01:13:49,357
Okay, I just thought this was a house for Black Lives Matter

1796
01:13:50,146 --> 01:13:52,582
Its unacceptable and its dangerous

1797
01:13:52,607 --> 01:13:54,184
that...

1798
01:13:54,209 --> 01:13:55,889
anybody, any stranger

1799
01:13:56,740 --> 01:13:58,216
come outside of my house

1800
01:13:58,241 --> 01:14:01,934
We're just trying to figure if this house is actually being used for black people

1801
01:14:01,959 --> 01:14:03,286
in a creative space at all.

1802
01:14:03,701 --> 01:14:05,044
And it doesn't seem that way

1803
01:14:05,310 --> 01:14:07,654
What happened this morning is not safety

1804
01:14:09,060 --> 01:14:09,833
Its not...

1805
01:14:10,521 --> 01:14:11,641
what I deserve

1806
01:14:12,381 --> 01:14:13,997
its not what any of us deserve

1807
01:14:14,170 --> 01:14:18,522
I can't see how this purchase helped black lives anywhere in America

1808
01:14:18,756 --> 01:14:19,724
I can't even...

1809
01:14:20,099 --> 01:14:21,911
find a black life on the property

1810
01:14:22,677 --> 01:14:23,482
the dog's not even black

1811
01:14:23,990 --> 01:14:24,294
so..

1812
01:14:25,076 --> 01:14:25,583
that's that.

1813
01:14:25,943 --> 01:14:27,419
And so they're literally

1814
01:14:28,131 --> 01:14:29,693
trying to destroy us

1815
01:14:30,310 --> 01:14:31,927
they're trying to destroy...

1816
01:14:31,952 --> 01:14:32,372
they're trying to destroy...me

1817
01:14:32,397 --> 01:14:34,068
they're trying to destroy the movement

1818
01:14:35,411 --> 01:14:38,278
and I really--I just need us to be stronger

1819
01:14:38,732 --> 01:14:39,302
Thank you sir!

1820
01:14:39,990 --> 01:14:40,747
Have a great day!

1821
01:14:47,592 --> 01:14:50,724
What could be more emblematic of Black Lives Matter than that?

1822
01:14:51,271 --> 01:14:52,879
Playing the victim

1823
01:14:52,904 --> 01:14:54,012
to the public

1824
01:14:54,037 --> 01:14:56,036
hoping that you can get sympathy

1825
01:14:56,061 --> 01:14:59,450
and perhaps that sympathy will transform into dollars

1826
01:14:59,803 --> 01:15:02,428
And of course, after we exposed that lie

1827
01:15:02,453 --> 01:15:05,232
she subsequently wipes her Instagram

1828
01:15:05,711 --> 01:15:07,585
And says that she needs a mental break

1829
01:15:07,610 --> 01:15:09,610
and needs to reevaluate stuff

1830
01:15:10,562 --> 01:15:13,850
And what I'm hoping is that by the end of this...

1831
01:15:13,875 --> 01:15:15,117
they'll wipe

1832
01:15:15,142 --> 01:15:17,351
the entire organization and charity

1833
01:15:17,570 --> 01:15:18,770
y'kknow because

1834
01:15:18,851 --> 01:15:20,312
it is not what it seems

1835
01:15:21,562 --> 01:15:24,096
The real story is a story of addiction

1836
01:15:24,555 --> 01:15:25,054
Thats it

1837
01:15:25,133 --> 01:15:28,429
Thats actually a story that could've brought people together globally

1838
01:15:29,047 --> 01:15:30,467
This was a man

1839
01:15:30,492 --> 01:15:31,312
This was a man that

1840
01:15:31,328 --> 01:15:32,889
was high on drugs

1841
01:15:32,914 --> 01:15:35,319
and went into a store

1842
01:15:35,344 --> 01:15:37,024
with counterfeit bills

1843
01:15:37,890 --> 01:15:39,757
He sat in a car with his dealer

1844
01:15:40,250 --> 01:15:41,250
obviously

1845
01:15:41,275 --> 01:15:42,734
they had drugs on them

1846
01:15:42,759 --> 01:15:44,439
drugs were found on them

1847
01:15:44,642 --> 01:15:45,790
And I believe that

1848
01:15:45,947 --> 01:15:48,243
in his final moments, when the police arrived

1849
01:15:48,268 --> 01:15:50,501
he ingested a lethal amount of drugs

1850
01:15:50,634 --> 01:15:52,094
And...

1851
01:15:52,119 --> 01:15:53,937
unfortunately...

1852
01:15:53,962 --> 01:15:56,629
the paramedics and the medical attention

1853
01:15:57,048 --> 01:15:59,165
that this person would have needed

1854
01:15:59,190 --> 01:16:00,634
in the immediate

1855
01:16:01,245 --> 01:16:02,940
never happened, never transpired

1856
01:16:03,909 --> 01:16:04,377
And...

1857
01:16:04,402 --> 01:16:06,752
it is a story of a man who overdosed

1858
01:16:06,777 --> 01:16:07,324
in the end

1859
01:16:21,570 --> 01:16:22,716
{\an8}The media

1860
01:16:22,741 --> 01:16:23,781
{\an8}The media is your enemy

1861
01:16:23,976 --> 01:16:25,014
{\an8}That is what I will say

1862
01:16:25,374 --> 01:16:27,428
{\an8}and I believe that from the bottom of my heart

1863
01:16:27,452 --> 01:16:28,936
{\an8}After examining

1864
01:16:28,961 --> 01:16:30,641
{\an8}every corner of this case

1865
01:16:31,069 --> 01:16:31,895
{\an8}The media

1866
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:32,545
{\an8}The media scared

1867
01:16:32,570 --> 01:16:33,412
{\an8}The media scared the jury

1868
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:35,193
{\an8}The media

1869
01:16:35,218 --> 01:16:36,107
{\an8}The media scared

1870
01:16:36,132 --> 01:16:37,467
{\an8}The media scared even politicians

1871
01:16:37,506 --> 01:16:39,115
{\an8}into agreeing in lockstep

1872
01:16:39,241 --> 01:16:42,021
{\an8}There is no other to examine the media but to recognize

1873
01:16:42,046 --> 01:16:43,084
{\an8}that they were the enemy

1874
01:16:43,905 --> 01:16:45,092
And they're not going to stop

1875
01:16:45,108 --> 01:16:45,881
being the enemy

1876
01:16:46,514 --> 01:16:47,739
People were deluded

1877
01:16:47,764 --> 01:16:49,107
and people were lied to

1878
01:16:49,132 --> 01:16:49,912
and...

1879
01:16:49,937 --> 01:16:50,874
people should be angry

1880
01:16:51,070 --> 01:16:53,132
People should be rightfully angry

1881
01:16:53,515 --> 01:16:54,335
that...

1882
01:16:54,351 --> 01:16:55,952
they acted the part

1883
01:16:55,977 --> 01:16:57,657
of a marketing agency

1884
01:16:58,351 --> 01:16:59,288
for...

1885
01:16:59,313 --> 01:17:00,882
what in my opinion

1886
01:17:00,907 --> 01:17:02,302
is a complete

1887
01:17:02,327 --> 01:17:02,647
fraud

1888
01:17:03,132 --> 01:17:04,998
a fraudulent organization

1889
01:17:05,023 --> 01:17:06,763
that uses black emotion

1890
01:17:06,788 --> 01:17:08,263
and black pain

1891
01:17:08,295 --> 01:17:10,474
to extort dollars from white america

1892
01:17:11,132 --> 01:17:11,936
Thats what happened

1893
01:17:12,601 --> 01:17:14,280
You were all lied to, thats the truth
