JASON: We just saw that this weekend as temperatures start to warm up, people stay out later, and you start to see the shootings and this unrest. And yet the answer by the left over the last year in the wake of Floyd, thanks to BLM — remember, BLM, going back to the 2014 Minnesota State Fair, BLM was outside that state fair, media didn\u2019t report much on this, chanting pigs in a blanket, fry \u2019em like bacon, referring to cops.<\/p>\n

\"\"Their goal was always to defund the police long before George Floyd. The legacy of Mr. Floyd will not be racial reckoning. It will be carnage and more bloodshed in these urban communities. And the left doesn\u2019t give a damn. Let me tell you something. I only bring out Minnesota so much is because I am in occupied territory, and that\u2019s where I\u2019m broadcasting from today. But this is what we exported to you. This started in the 3rd Precinct when the idiot man-child known as Jacob Frey and the idiot governor known as Tim Walz, who\u2019s the greatest fraud in Minnesota politics, basically said stand down, give the 3rd Precinct to the rioters. At that point the game was up.<\/p>\n

And Minnesota wasn\u2019t exporting Paul Bunyan anymore. It was exporting chaos, which has now engulfed the nation. And every single Democrat in this state from Tim Walz, to Keith Ellison, to Jacob Frey, to Melvin Carter, to Angie Craig, to Tina Smith, to Dean Phillips, to Betty McCollum is responsible for destroying Minnesota where my mother was born. My mother was born in north Minneapolis. That is the epicenter of the crime. She wouldn\u2019t recognize it now. The metro area is lost, and the Democrats destroyed it.<\/p>\n

Democrat policies coming out of the Great Society that brought welfare to Minnesota in massive numbers and then the massive refugee programs and assimilation that did not take place and then the ease on crime, the massive taxes has been an assault on the way of life in this state, and it has been transformed permanently. And now what do they want to do? Eliminate qualified immunity? Here\u2019s what Cory Booker said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BOOKER: We\u2019re making meaningful progress. And I\u2019m committed, we have to have a nation where we end, I think, what has been a more revealed anguish and agony of many Americans.<\/p>\n

JASON: That is insane. That is insane. Are you kidding me? Let me tell you something. First you\u2019re going to prosecute the cops, then you\u2019re gonna defund the cops, and now you\u2019re gonna let the bad guys sue them personally. Understand, during the Derek Chauvin trial here in Minnesota, which we have moved to another venue, this will be overturned on appeal. The city settled with the Floyd family for $27 million. Is that racial reckoning? Is that injustice? Twnety seven million. The jury saw that because the judge wouldn\u2019t sequester them, because he was afraid.<\/p>\n

The whole town was afraid of an acquittal. And so justice was turned on its head. I\u2019m not saying whether he should have been acquitted or not. I\u2019m saying justice was turned on its head. The jury was not sequestered. You had a $27 million settlement. So but you gotta sue the cop personally to get your money? You\u2019re not gonna get that much money from the cop personally.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re just gonna discourage every person in the world with an ounce of sense not to go into policing. Juror number 52 who told the judge he had no knowledge of the case turned out last August was in D.C. with a BLM T-shirt on marching about it. This thing is going to get overturned and wait \u2019til you see what happens then, friends. Back in July of last year, Rush talked about police accountability.<\/a><\/p>\n
