JASON: Before we get to all the news of the day, this just in from the National Association of Scholars. They are tired of white privilege. They are tired of a lack of diversity. They are tired of discrimination, they are tired of it all, and that\u2019s why they say that Asian-Americans need to be kept out of Harvard. I have no idea how that works, but, apparently, that\u2019s the policy of the higher ed. folks at Harvard. Isn\u2019t that great? I mean, the Supreme Court should take up this decision. Harvard is discriminating against Asian-Americans based on the color of their skin, their ethnicity. for diversity reasons. This is what equity is, not equality.<\/p>\n

Anyway, welcome to the great state, the Great Lakes State of Minnesota from whence this program is being broadcast today. So glad, again, to be guiding you through the program. And, you know, don\u2019t let all of the riots over the last year discourage you, because the tourism folks here in the great state of Minnesota are handing out bulletproof vests for free when you arrive; so just in case you go downtown, you\u2019re safe. Don\u2019t worry about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friends, if you didn\u2019t live through Jimmy Carter in the 1970s and the inflation, the taxes, the stagflation, and the crime, you\u2019re gonna get a second chance, because that is what\u2019s happening one year after the riot that devastated America, and they started here in Minneapolis. You know, a lot of the people on the left are now saying that, “Well, Jason, you don\u2019t understand. There\u2019s a great injustice that was perpetrated, and that unleashed this sort of collective outrage. And we have to honor that. Has to be a racial reckoning,” and all of that. Where was the lack of justice? This was the swiftest prosecution of police officers in history, the history of Minnesota. The Hennepin County district attorney, before he was removed for not being woke enough — and he\u2019s a liberal Democrat, by Attorney General Keith Ellison, before he took over the case — before he was removed he said this was the swiftest prosecution in history.<\/p>\n

He was found guilty. Derek Chauvin was found guilty. Now, there were so many errors in the trial, I think it will be overturned. But nevertheless where was the lack of justice here? So that can\u2019t explain the continuing violence, the continuing outrage, the continuing chaos that\u2019s engulfed America. It is the policy of liberalism that has turned our cities loose.<\/p>\n

As Heather Mac Donald says in today\u2019s Wall Street Journal<\/a>, it\u2019s open season in Minneapolis. Well, it\u2019s open season across the country. Minneapolis homicides between January 1 and last week, according to Mac Donald, were up 108% compared with the same period in 2020. Shootings up 153%. Carjackings, 222%. This has nothing to do with the fact that they didn\u2019t put Derek Chauvin to death yesterday. This has everything to do with what happens when you fail to defend the 3rd Precinct to prevent torching and looting and arson and you let the criminals run free, and the criminals were part of the BLM, they were part of Antifa.<\/p>\n

They were not all of them, but they were part of them. That\u2019s why they keep advocating for abolishing the police, for abolishing capitalism, private property. This is not the civil rights protests of the 1960s. This is a revolution that a means to attack law and order, private property, capitalism, and basically substitute race for class in their Marxist theory. That\u2019s what we\u2019re up against here. And yet they still don\u2019t get it, do they? They still don\u2019t get it on the left. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on the tragic death of George Floyd a year ago. Here\u2019s what she said.<\/p>\n

PSAKI: Certainly the tragic death of George Floyd has unfortunately elevated into the public eye ,thanks to the reporting from many of you, the need to put reforms into place, the need to rebuild trust in communities, and we\u2019re certainly hopeful that — that activism, that engagement will help move this legislation across the finish line.<\/p>\n

\"\"JASON: Good Lord. Jen Psaki is living proof we have not won the war on drugs. I\u2019m telling you friends, the idea that we need to put reforms in place, what the hell do you think the last year was about in reforms, abolish the police, defund the police, let criminals go? Look at the D.A. in L.A. The D.A. in L.A., the district attorney, is every single gang member, every single criminal, every single thug\u2019s favorite cop. He\u2019s letting them go. Newsom is letting 76,000 criminals out. We are refusing to keep private property, the first duty of government, safe from arson. Those are the reforms, Jen Psaki, you\u2019re talking about? ‘Cause we\u2019ve tried \u2019em. How\u2019s it working out for you so far?<\/p>\n

You know, it\u2019d be easy to blame the city of Minneapolis which started this nonsense, the city council that said, oh, we gotta defund the police in the wake of George Floyd. Well, it\u2019s easy to blame them, but don\u2019t fall for that. This is not just the fault of the city council of Minneapolis, which makes the Politburo look sane. This is the fault of every single Democrat in America and every single media hack who backs them in America. They have got their wish, and they have destroyed the country. Our cities are out of control, and they ought to pay. I\u2019m talking about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, talking about Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo, Phil Murphy and Tim Walz, and the lunatic governor of Washington.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about each and every one of them that have wreaked havoc on this country like we have not seen since the 1960s, except in the 1960s there were adults in the room who said it was wrong when they were putting bombs under cop cars. Today they endorse it. This is so bizarre, it\u2019s almost Orwellian. And I\u2019m telling you what\u2019s happening, what\u2019s happening is more chaos. Listen to Steve Dykstra. He\u2019s a former Minneapolis police officer who left.<\/p>\n

DYKSTRA: When police don\u2019t have any tools to use anymore, they feel pretty helpless out there. We take away loitering laws, pursuit, the ability to pursue vehicles, you don\u2019t have to stop for the police in Minneapolis anymore, thanks to Mayor Frey and the city council. And what you see is chaos, violence, and recurring crime.<\/p>\n
