0:30corner of Hollywood and Vine Southeast
0:31corner just saying okay
0:34yeah yeah about a handful of radio guys
0:37too and I'm one of them yeah I think
0:38it's you Elvis Duran yeah big boy
0:42named Arthur Godfrey okay yeah so let's
0:45let's jump right into it why are you
0:47running for president
0:48well I'm running as an America first
0:50mega guy and we have an America first
0:52mega guy running obviously so the
0:55question is what do you bring to the
0:56table Mega okay and the answer is I
0:59bring a lot of issues to the table that
1:01I feel our side is not talking enough
1:02about if at all for example the number
1:05one social problem in America by far is
1:08the epidemic night of covet but a
1:10fatherlessness
1:1170 of black kids today enter the world
1:14without a father in the home married to
1:15the mother up from 25 back in 1965. now
1:1825 of white kids into the world today
1:20without a father in the home married to
1:22the mother and the stats are clear even
1:24Barack Obama once cited him
1:26if you're raised without a dead or five
1:27times more likely to be poor and commit
1:29crime nine times were likely to drop out
1:32of school and 20 times we're likely to
1:34end up in jail what's happened in the
1:36mid 60s with I think the best of
1:37intentions a Democrat named Lyndon
1:39Johnson launched what he called the war
1:40on poverty and since then we have
1:42incentivized women to marry the
1:43government and incentivize men to
1:45abandon their financial and moral
1:47responsibility you know when I tell say
1:49this to people
1:50the pushback I get is well there are
1:52lots of things that are going on
1:53systemic racism poverty uh here's the
1:56problem
1:57if you look at a young black male age 10
1:59to 43 that's young to me because I'm 71
2:01years old a young black man in that demo
2:04was 13 times more likely to be murdered
2:06than a young white man same demo
2:08young black man real young 19 and under
2:11the number one cause of preventable
2:12death is homicide almost always at the
2:15hands of another young black male
2:18same demo for white to the number one
2:20cause of preventable death is
2:21unintentional deaths that includes drug
2:23overdoses automobile accidents drownings
2:26uh it's not until they get to number
2:28four that death is the cause
2:31in America 60 of the shootings the
2:34robberies and the homicide Academy are
2:36committed by black people often against
2:37other black people of the homicides in
2:40this country half of them are black
2:42victims almost all killed by other
2:43blacks uh how do you explain that uh if
2:47it isn't for the absence of fathers are
2:49you prepared to say
2:50black people are just genetically
2:51inclined to commit more crime I doubt it
2:53and the go-to reaction often is is
2:56poverty uh and systemic racism here's
2:58the problem
3:001940 when there was blatant racism this
3:03is before Brown versus Board of
3:04Education before the Civil Rights Act of
3:0664. KKK was still alive and well 87
3:09percent of blacks lived under the
3:10poverty line now it's about 14 percent
3:13you can't blame it on poverty you can't
3:15blame it on racism it is the breakdown
3:16of the nuclear intact family and neither
3:19side is talking about it the left
3:20doesn't talk about it because they
3:21caused it with the welfare state and our
3:24side does not talk about it because if
3:25you're white
3:26you'll be accused of dissing single moms
3:28who are heroically raising these kids or
3:30you'll be accused of being a racist or
3:33if you're black you'll be accused as I
3:34was by the LA Times being the black face
3:35of white supremacy nobody's talking
3:37about that I am one of the reasons you
3:41know if your statistics are right what
3:42are the reasons that you think fathers
3:44aren't in the home
3:45as I said it's because uh in the mid 60s
3:48Lyndon Johnson launched what he called
3:49the war on poverty in Charlemagne
3:51literally they sent social workers
3:52door-to-door in the inner city I
3:54remember this advising women of the
3:56availability of welfare provided there
3:57was no man in the house it created an
3:59economic incentive for women to marry
4:01the government same thing with whites
4:03in 1965 eight percent of whites into the
4:06world without a father in the home area
4:07to the mother now it's about 25 percent
4:09also up threefold look at Census Data
4:121910
4:131920 1930 in places like Milwaukee
4:16Chicago Philadelphia a young black kid
4:19was slightly more likely to be brought
4:21into a world with a father in the home
4:23married to the mother than a young white
4:24kid we have incentivized this kind of
4:26bad behavior and has had disappointed
4:28bad effect on the black community
4:30let me ask a question what do white
4:31people do wrong
4:32what do you mean what do white people do
4:34I'm not worried about white people I'm
4:35worried about what what what's going on
4:37with us if there's systemic racism in
4:39this country no no I don't say there is
4:42you say there is I don't believe that oh
4:44you don't believe this no there used to
4:45be obviously tell me tell me what you
4:47think the number one systemic example of
4:49systemic racism is in America
4:54maybe mass incarceration maybe really
5:00um in during the Great Depression when
5:0250 of black adults were unemployed you
5:04didn't have this kind of mass
5:05incarceration it's the breakdown of the
5:07family
5:07there's a direction I'm not going to I I
5:09agree with the family part I'm a black
5:12man who is the father to his children
5:14and I'm happily married right black man
5:16to a black woman so I'm never going to
5:17argue at that point you know but I just
5:19feel like everything is black black
5:21black black black with you black is
5:23wrong black people do this and black
5:24people do that and when I ask you what
5:26white people do wrong you said you're
5:27not worried about white people I'm
5:29talking about the the damage
5:30disproportionate damage going on in the
5:32black community for example look at
5:34these uh smashing grants that are taking
5:35place in Los Angeles where I live
5:36there's a suburb called Glendale where
5:39at a mall recently a mob of 30 to 40
5:41people they had masks on but one guy got
5:42popped he was a black I think most of
5:44those who were doing this were black uh
5:46and in recent years and times have been
5:48a number of these in places like Chicago
5:49places like like New York
5:51if I were involved in something like
5:53that Charlemagne I grew up with a dad
5:55just as you're raising your your own
5:57children I would have been more afraid
5:59of my father than I would about the cops
6:00catching me these kids are afraid of
6:02neither they don't have a father in the
6:03home cops are demoralized they're
6:05pulling back uh their Manpower is short
6:07uh and as a result you tell a bad guy
6:10you're less likely to be caught
6:11convicted incarcerated crime goes up
6:13they may be criminals but they're not
6:14stupid when you say what do white people
6:16do I mean this is a country that has
6:18struggled mightily to get over its uh
6:20its historic racism there was a civil
6:23war there was a big Civil Rights
6:24Movement this is the only majority white
6:26country that's ever elected a black
6:27president let alone reelected a black
6:29president the three biggest cities in
6:31America are New York Chicago La they all
6:33have black Mayors even though no city
6:35has a majority of black population the
6:37president of Harvard is a black female
6:38Martin Luther King in 1966 Charlemagne
6:42gave an interview to the BBC this is two
6:44years after the Civil Rights Act of 64
6:46got passed and he said
6:48I'm Amazed
6:50how many positive changes there have
6:51been in America in the last two years
6:53why if things keep going like this we
6:55could have a black president in about 40
6:57years time do the math right on cue
6:59Barack Obama elected 2008. he didn't say
7:01there'll be a black female president of
7:02Harvard and there has been he didn't say
7:04they're going to be black CEOs of
7:06Fortune 500 companies and there have
7:07been several he didn't say the
7:08percentage of the house would equal the
7:10percentage of black people in the
7:11population and it does he didn't say the
7:14three largest cities would have black
7:15Mayors and they do he didn't say the
7:17largest and most prestigious
7:19organization organization of doctors the
7:21American Medical Association would have
7:23two black presidents and there have been
7:25he didn't say the most prestigious
7:26organization of lawyers the American Bar
7:29Association would have two black
7:30presidents and they have he said
7:32president meaning at that point I can
7:35feel that I've reached the Mountaintop
7:36which is the speech he gave right before
7:37he got assassinated the day before and
7:39now we act as Lyft Barack Obama never
7:42even got elected and we're still talking
7:43about systemic racism it's not fair it's
7:45wrong and you're discouraging black
7:47people from working hard
7:50Mr Elder a quick question let's just
7:53remove the word racism since that seems
7:55to be a word uh that that triggers you
7:58know a conversation down the water hole
7:59let's just focus on the word system
8:01uh you mentioned that the system uh was
8:05the one that discouraging again we have
8:06no problem with agreeing that the the
8:08family the the black family should
8:10certainly uh have some room for some
8:12improvement let's just focus on systems
8:14system well we're not going to go down
8:16that water you we're not going to go
8:18down that water hole let's get to the
8:19question so the question is you said
8:21that the system encouraged uh black
8:24women to be single mothers correct I
8:26said the welfare state yes the welfare
8:28the system so who's in charge of the
8:29system who's in charge of the system
8:31well it was Democrats that passed it and
8:34who were Democrats were they black or
8:35white at that time well at the time
8:37majority of black people were Democrats
8:39as the majority of black people were
8:40Democrats now I'm talking about the
8:42sister remember the main idea is the
8:43word system who was in charge of the
8:46system at the time the the Democrats at
8:48the time the system I'm just going to
8:50Charlemagne's point about white or black
8:51was it white Democrats in charge of the
8:53system or black Democrats well if you're
8:55prepared to say that Lyndon Johnson did
8:58this viciously with an intent to destroy
9:00the black family I disagree he did it
9:01with the best of intentions
9:03and if you look at if you look at the
9:05New York Times which is left wing The
9:07Washington Post which is left wing they
9:08cheered all of this right and what I'm
9:10asking was it white people so I'm going
9:12to ask again in case my mic's not coming
9:14through clearly was it white people in
9:16charge of the system are black people in
9:18charge of that system that helped break
9:19down the black family it's a simple yes
9:21just a simple question white or black
9:23well you didn't have to go on welfare
9:26unless you voluntarily chose to go on
9:27welfare the inducement was put there by
9:30democrats uh by the left right okay well
9:34most black most black people were
9:36Democrats and they voted for these white
9:37people not voters I said who's in charge
9:38of the system
9:40who put them in charge
9:45Linda Johnson was white thank you okay
9:48but but if your argument is that the
9:50reason he did it is because of racism
9:52then I disagree he did it because that's
9:54not my argument I just asked you a
9:55simple question was he white or black
9:56Charlemagne and you know Mr Ellie you
9:58said uh you talked about the Smashing
10:00grabs right and I find that interesting
10:01because you know when you see the mass
10:03shootings that happened majority of
10:05those people are white males what do you
10:06what do you think about it actually if
10:08you look at the percentage of whites in
10:10America which is 60 percentage of mass
10:13Shooters is under that the percentage of
10:15people that commit hate crime is under
10:17that the percentage of people who are
10:18serial killers is under that black
10:20people are 13 of the population we
10:22commit a greater percentage compared to
10:23that we talked about the Smashing grabs
10:25though so I was saying since you're
10:26using that as an example I'm saying well
10:28what about you know the mass shooters
10:30that are usually white males one more
10:32time they are usually white males
10:34because 60 of the country is is white
10:36however they underrepresent in terms of
10:40the number of mass shootings uh about 50
10:42or so of the mass shootings in this
10:43country are committed by white people
10:45even the white people are 60 of the
10:46population they underrepresent we over
10:48represent when it comes to hate crime
10:50when it comes to mass shootings when it
10:52comes to serial killings when it comes
10:53to robberies when it comes to virtually
10:54every category of violent crime we over
10:57represent so what do white people do
10:58wrong
10:59I'm gonna keep asking you that because
11:00well it seems to me rather than deal
11:04with with what's going on the pathology
11:05that's going on in the inner city you
11:07want to blame you want me to talk about
11:09how bad white people are um
11:11which I don't think is a pretty
11:13particularly productive thing to do I
11:15think no I'm talking I'm talking to the
11:16cause and effect but you know if we
11:18can't talk about the cause which I
11:19believe is systemic racism and white
11:20supremacy the FBI says well I just told
11:22you if it's systemic racism please
11:24explain to me how it was when Americans
11:26America really had systemic racism in
11:281940 87 of black lived under the poverty
11:31line again this is during a Jim Crow era
11:34my father is from Athens Georgia grew up
11:36in Jim Crow my mom is from Huntsville
11:37Alabama grew up in Jim Crow 87 of blacks
11:40live below the poverty line this is
11:41before Brown versus Board of Education
11:43you did not find you did not find these
11:45kind of black on black crimes probably
11:46because they still were living below the
11:48poverty line though sir I'm sorry
11:50forgetting the fact that they they were
11:51still living below the poverty line
11:52you're picking and choosing saying this
11:54was good
11:55okay the end between the part of your
11:58line but let's move forward well let me
11:59can I just can I just address that in
12:011940 87 of blacks lived under the
12:04poverty line 1960 that number had fallen
12:06to 47 that's a 40 Point drop in 20 years
12:08that's the greatest 20-year period of
12:10economic expansion for black people in
12:12the history of America again well before
12:14Brown versus Board of Education well
12:16before the KKK uh imploded well before
12:19we had race-based preferences why
12:21because it was rare for a black kid to
12:23be raised in a family without a father
12:25in the home a strong belief in
12:27judeo-christian values a belief in
12:29patriotism even as America wasn't
12:31applying these values to black people
12:32obviously and the belief in
12:34entrepreneurship all those things are
12:36now under assault by organizations like
12:37black lives matter Charlemagne black
12:39lives matter had on their website an
12:41attack on the nuclear family the
12:43founders are self-described Marxist
12:45trained marxists Marx wanted to Dethrone
12:47God was an atheist and Mark did not
12:49believe in capitalism let alone
12:50entrepreneurship all the things that
12:52made black people still survive in
12:54virulent racism are now under attack by
12:56organizations like black lives matter
12:57all those things have always been under
12:59attack by white supremacy you can go
13:00back to things like whether it's the
13:01Tulsa Race massacres like every time
13:04black people do create these systems
13:06that are our systems and we are the
13:08entrepreneurs it seems like white
13:09supremacy finds a way to do this every
13:11time look the Tulsa Massacre within
13:14about five years that whole area was
13:16rebuilt uh it was not even called the
13:19the Black Wall Street until after it was
13:20rebuilt and was rebuilt by the way by
13:22black people without one dime of
13:24government money
13:25yeah who destroyed it to begin with it
13:27was right racist who destroyed it no
13:29question about it we've had race rights
13:31but so so if Japanese you do agree that
13:34there's racism I'm just so confused I
13:35never even came closer
13:38I never came close to saying there was
13:40no racism you just said you don't think
13:41it's systemic racism not anymore
13:43obviously there was we had something
13:45called slavery we had something called
13:46Jim Crow destroyed black West hold on
13:48sir I'm sorry
13:53system
13:54right wanting to pay those same living
13:56descendants because I know your position
13:57on reparations but those same living
13:59descendants of Black Wall Street okay
14:02and then you move and then you go on to
14:04say that this the system the
14:05quote-unquote system is also trying to
14:07destroy president Trump so I'm just so
14:08confused on do you believe that the
14:10system can destroy or not you you pick
14:12and choose sir and that's what's so
14:14confusing to me you just said it wasn't
14:16racism now it is racism
14:18I said there was no racist I said it
14:21wasn't systemic racism let's talk about
14:22uh
14:24can I can I can I can I just make this
14:27make this point Charlamagne please uh
14:29let's take Chinese Americans uh Chinese
14:31Americans were the first ethnic group to
14:33be excluded with an Immigration Act in
14:34the late 1800s uh they had riots against
14:37Chinese uh in L.A in San Francisco there
14:40were laws that prevented Chinese
14:41Americans from participating in the
14:43laundry business I'm in California
14:45California of course rounded up Japanese
14:47Americans during World War II there were
14:49laws that prevented Japanese Americans
14:50from owning Farmland the average
14:52Japanese-American household has a higher
14:54Capital Income than the average White
14:56household the average Chinese American
14:57household has a higher per capita income
14:59than the average White household how
15:01does that happen it happens because of a
15:02strong belief in family it is rare for a
15:05Chinese American or a Japanese American
15:07kid to have to have a child outside of
15:08wedlock and a strong belief in education
15:11and a strong belief in entrepreneurship
15:13these are the kinds of qualities that
15:14make people successful you can't blame
15:16everything on having a fatherless family
15:18right because I didn't say blaming
15:19everything but that's what you're saying
15:21you're saying a strong community no you
15:22said that's what I just said I didn't
15:23say you talk about the Asian community
15:24Asian Community it's easy for them to
15:26get loans for entrepreneurships it's
15:27easy for them to get loans for houses
15:29you look at our community if you really
15:31if you really want to talk about our
15:32community right you look at the schools
15:33in our community some of our schools are
15:34the worst right would you agree with
15:36that yes or no absolutely
15:39one of the reasons I'm running for
15:41president for school so would you say
15:42that is in our community is systemic
15:45it's also in our communities heavy food
15:46deserts there's nothing but fast food
15:48places that are just killing and
15:49destroying that would you say that's
15:50true boy
15:52um
15:53you said number of things I just
15:55addressed one of them about loans in
15:581965
15:59Barack Obama who was in private practice
16:02joined a bunch of other lawyers to filed
16:04a class action lawsuit against City
16:06Corps which is headquartered here in New
16:08York 186 black people were applying for
16:11loans for mortgages they didn't get them
16:13and they accused City Corp of engaging
16:15in racism City Corp said no it's not
16:17racism you have poor credit scores and
16:19we want to make sure we get our money
16:20back Obama joined a bunch of other
16:22lawyers and they sued City COPE in a
16:25class action lawsuit and City Corps said
16:26okay to hell with it gave them all loans
16:29and they followed them all up Daily
16:32Caller did a few years later almost all
16:33of them lost their homes several of them
16:35filed for bankruptcy one of them even
16:36said you know when you don't qualify for
16:39a loan maybe we shouldn't get a loan
16:40well duh it wasn't true that black
16:43people were not getting loans plus there
16:45are all sorts of black owned Community
16:47Banks around the country and it turns
16:48out the turn down rate when you apply
16:51for a loan at a black Community Bank was
16:53even higher because they had less
16:54capital and they couldn't afford to loan
16:56money to risky people it is just not the
16:59case that the reason for the plight of
17:01the black community is because people
17:02were not lending money to them it's just
17:04not true that's not true
17:05what's not true about facts of 1965
17:09right let's talk 2023 right I said 1995
17:111995 I was told 2023 right my son will
17:14be successful in real estate and
17:16successful in buying a house you know
17:17why because of you because if you owns a
17:19house right but my father because if you
17:22and the driver not own houses because if
17:25you and the drive you put into We're not
17:26gonna have a conversation you're not
17:27even appreciating what you've done to
17:28yourself
17:30okay we have a conversation all right
17:33when we talk about it right it's harder
17:35for our community to get to get loans
17:36right and not just because of poor
17:38credit scores it's because of of where
17:40the areas are you talked about the Asian
17:42Community a lot of the Asian Community
17:43have their own Banks and they're able to
17:45process and get their own Banks there's
17:47not too many African-American branches
17:49that are able to give out money so
17:50that's one then let's talk about getting
17:52grants for Schools they're not even
17:53giving grants for schools at the rate
17:55that they're giving grants for white
17:56people and let's talk about when they
17:57talk about entrepreneurship they are
17:59giving so much money to these white and
18:02Asian kids and Asian people doing it and
18:04uh a thousand times less than our
18:06community will you agree to any of that
18:07no no I don't I don't we was virtually
18:09anywhere any of what you just now said
18:11the the turn down rate for a white right
18:14applicant for a mortgage is higher than
18:16the turn down rate for a Japanese or
18:18Chinese applicant for a mortgage now are
18:20you telling me that banks are
18:21discriminating against white in favor of
18:23Asian Americans is because their credit
18:25scores are better they often live below
18:27their means they save more even when
18:28they're making the same amount of money
18:29than black people do if you have poor
18:31credit score you're not going to get a
18:32loan period end of statement even even
18:35ahead of Urban League even the head of
18:37Urban League a black man once said that
18:39if you have poor credit score you're not
18:40going to get a loan end of the state sir
18:42but let's just okay when you were
18:45talking about crime you you weren't
18:46prepared to talk about this proportion
18:48you talked about how it was more black
18:49people that was doing it and then you
18:50talked about how we're the smaller no
18:52other population the same applies also
18:54to the loans it's more white people than
18:56it is black people you seem to pick
18:57you're talking about the rate
19:00whatever it is the bottom line is it's
19:02more white people than it is black
19:03people and so if more black people are
19:05getting not getting loans
19:06disproportionately it seems you'd only
19:08want to apply the disproportion uh to
19:11the conversation when it benefits I'm
19:13not
19:15I'm not sure you understood my point
19:17that's why I mentioned in 1995 186 black
19:20people who were not getting loans filed
19:22a class action lawsuit claiming that
19:23they were denied the loan because of
19:24racism City Corps said okay here are
19:26your loans the reason I wasn't giving
19:27you the loans is because we're afraid
19:28you weren't going to be able to pay them
19:30back fast forward they weren't able to
19:31pay them back which proved talking about
19:34that I'm not talking I know you're not
19:35because you're talking about I'm talking
19:38about your response to Envy when he said
19:40when you said more white people get
19:42approved for loans
19:43I said black Americans have the highest
19:46denial rates for purchase and
19:47refinancing loans according to Home
19:48Mortgage disclosures
19:50all credit scores are the same 15 of
19:54Hispanic loan applicants were denied
19:55compared with about 11 of white and 10
19:58percent of Asian applicants with same
20:00credit scores and that's Washington Post
20:02since you love numbers so much and I
20:04know you do love numbers that's coming
20:05from The Washington Post that's 2023 I
20:07can show you a study that says the
20:09opposite let me ask you a question uh
20:10yeah Mr uh Donald Trump Rudy Giuliani
20:13and I'm pretty sure everybody who just
20:14called a RICO with him in Georgia they
20:16all had fathers and they still ended up
20:18in jail how did that happen
20:19[Music]
20:21nobody said if you have a father you
20:23won't go to jail nobody said if you
20:26didn't have a father you're going to
20:27jail my father never guess what you did
20:29say mistake
20:30man answer me answer these questions
20:34let them finish this statement my father
20:36never knew his biological father he got
20:38thrown out of the house when he was
20:39eight when he was 13 years old eighth
20:40grade Dropout Jim Crow South Athens
20:42Georgia uh fast forward my dad cleaned
20:45toilets two full-time jobs cleaning
20:46toilets when I was growing up went to
20:48night school to get his GED and then
20:49after that he went to high school to
20:50learn how to operate a small restaurant
20:51age of 47 my dad says Nicholson dimes
20:54from his job starts a small restaurant
20:55near downtown L.A fast forward he
20:58retires in his 80s he owned that
20:59restaurant he owned property next door
21:00plus the house that's still in our
21:02family not too shabby for somebody who
21:04did not know his biological father it's
21:05not a death sentence you still have
21:06choices it's just much much more
21:08difficult to raise a child on your own
21:10even Tupac Shakur said I know for a fact
21:12[ __ ] Tupac excuse me I know for I know
21:14for a fact uh had I had a father I would
21:16have been more confident I would have
21:17been more disciplined end of quote well
21:19how did all those white men end up in
21:20jail when he said still had fathers the
21:21trumps and Giuliani I'm just asking the
21:23question how did they end up in jail
21:24because because some people commit
21:26crimes no sir stop my apologies for
21:30interrupting you earlier I just couldn't
21:32stomach the answer that I knew you
21:33couldn't stomach the answer yeah I
21:35couldn't stop me because your actual
21:36answer to Trump uh being what what's
21:39happening here with the indictments you
21:40actually said that the system was doing
21:42it you said there was a two-tier system
21:43this is your word that's right it was a
21:45two-tier system so when it came to Trump
21:47all of a sudden you now believe in this
21:49systematic thing that's happening to
21:52Trump but then when it happened but it's
21:53not but it's not about race it's not
21:55about it I ask you that I asked you
21:56remember I told remember I made it easy
21:58for you and I took race out of it
21:59remember I said I'm just talking about
22:00the system I'm just talking about if you
22:02if you wanna if you want to ask me
22:04whether I believe Donald Trump is being
22:05treated the same way as Joe Biden and
22:07it's been no I didn't the same way as
22:08Hillary Clinton all these people are
22:10white all these people are white there's
22:11a double
22:12standards my question you said today you
22:15didn't hear my question said some people
22:16commit crime so you do believe that
22:17Trump Giuliani them they committed a
22:19crime I don't know would you you just
22:21said some people come here crying I said
22:22some people commit a crime I didn't say
22:23Donald Trump committed a crime if you
22:24ask me specifically whether I believe
22:25Donald Trump came to the crime I don't I
22:26don't specifically about those people
22:28and why they ended up in jail they all
22:29got fathers well Donald Trump's not in
22:31jail well he got indicted yeah you got
22:33to indicted that's a far cry from being
22:35in jail
22:36why did he get indicted he got arrested
22:39well he got he's going to get arrested
22:41he got him he got indicted in my opinion
22:43because uh the uh doj has a double
22:46standard they let Hillary pass for
22:48example she clearly violated the
22:50Espionage Act by having an unsecured
22:52survey in her basement uh she paid for
22:54the Steele dossier she destroyed thirty
22:58thousand uh emails that were under
23:00subpoena and she got a wrist slap uh and
23:02Donald Trump is now being indicted I
23:04think for the fourth time it's unfair
23:05right now I grew up the FBI is for a
23:08long time and in the FBI has been
23:10corrupt uh there was cointel uh the uh
23:13the FBI
23:14Jacob Hoover also uh wiretapped MLK
23:17under Robert Kennedy the a Democrat
23:19Attorney General
23:21right right and I find it interesting
23:23how the same people who criticize the
23:25FBI historically are now defending the
23:27FBI because they're going after Donald
23:28Trump oh we're not defending that I
23:30didn't say you were I said some of the
23:31same people we're just looking and
23:33saying damn finally what's your thoughts
23:35with Florida and you see that uh they're
23:37trying to take out history out of these
23:39history books and not trying to teach
23:40our history I find it interesting that
23:43the Democrats are the ones complaining
23:44about Florida this is a party of slavery
23:47party of Jim Crow the party of the KKK
23:49the party of the Southern Manifesto
23:52the the party of uh of Dread Scott the
23:56party that I said earlier destroyed the
23:57nuclear intact family and the party that
23:59is opposing school choice and now they
24:01want to lecture Florida on making sure
24:03the proper history of slavery is taught
24:05I don't I don't know anybody who's
24:06defending slavery anybody not not Rhonda
24:10said he's not defense people benefited
24:12from slavery actually you're talking
24:14about one life actually talking about
24:15one line in about 127 pages of of uh of
24:19of uh the study and it is a line that
24:22was repeated almost verbatim and the
24:24associated uh in the advanced placement
24:27African-American course that the the
24:30Senate Administration refused to use
24:31because of the sexual stuff that was in
24:33it it's basically the same thing that
24:35was in the advanced placement
24:36African-American courses and now because
24:38it's in that all of a sudden the the
24:40governor is accused of somehow defending
24:43slavery he's not doing anything of the
24:45sort what did you think about well sir
24:46you you were actually one that defended
24:47slavery uh in your comments you say that
24:49like it or not slavery was legal in
24:51response to reparation so it's you that
24:54was defending slavery correct uh
24:56defending it and saying that it's
24:58illegal are two very different things
25:00slavery slavery slavery slavery slavery
25:04unfortunately your response that was
25:06your response into if reparations should
25:07if reparation should happen so your
25:09response to that was like it or not
25:11slavery was legal and one would think
25:13that that was a defense on those well
25:15what you would think it was a defense
25:16but but it is not a defense
25:18unfortunately slavery has been part and
25:20parcel of human history from the very
25:22beginning Asians enslaved Asians whites
25:24enslaved whites blacks and slave blacks
25:25Native Americans slave Native Americans
25:27This is a culture the western
25:29civilization that had a revulsion
25:30against it we had a civil war against it
25:32uh we ought to applaud ourselves for
25:34doing something about this this is a
25:36flawed country it's moving forward uh
25:38it's becoming more perfect all the time
25:39today if you are born and raised in
25:42America if you finish High School
25:43presumably one where you can read
25:44writing computed grade level which is
25:46why I support School of Choice don't
25:47have a kid before you're 20 get married
25:49first get a job keep a job don't quit it
25:51until you get another job and avoid the
25:53criminal justice system you will not be
25:54poor if you don't follow that formula
25:56there's a good chance you will be you
25:57know uh the first GOP debate is coming
25:59up
26:00um and uh you didn't qualify and I saw
26:02you right well you didn't say I've Not
26:04I've not yet not qualified it's not
26:05until August 21. oh okay well I saw you
26:07right in the op-ed that the Republican
26:09National Committee has rigged the rules
26:10of the game by instituting a set of
26:12criteria that is uh so uh honors what is
26:16it
26:17I mispronounced Tupac so you
26:19mispronounced owners
26:23and poorly design that only established
26:26the billionaire candidates are
26:28guaranteed to be on stage explain to us
26:30why that uh system hurts people well
26:34I ran for governor of California I got
26:363.5 million votes it seems to me that
26:38made me credible
26:39the RNC is requiring us to have one
26:41percent or 40 000 individual donors in
26:442020 the DNC required you to have one
26:46percent or a certain number of donors
26:47for reasons that I don't quite
26:48understand the RNC is requiring you to
26:50have have both of them
26:52one of the candidates in this race is a
26:54multi-millionaire he's offered a 20 gift
26:56certificate if you give one dollar
26:58another one is offering a free air
27:00quotes country western concert if you
27:02give one dollar another one is giving
27:04you a commission if you are a
27:06prospective donor to go out and get
27:07other prospective donors seems to me
27:08that corrupts the whole process I'm
27:09doing it the old-fashioned way
27:10Charlemagne I'm asking people to support
27:12me and go to my website larryelder.com
27:14and give me at least one dollar
27:16if I get one dollar from forty thousand
27:18individuals I will be up on that stage
27:20in Milwaukee on August 23 and when I get
27:22up there game on hold my beer so why is
27:24this so would you is this system holding
27:26you back would you say it's a system
27:27holding I I would say it's unfair it
27:29seems to me this early uh the the voters
27:31ought to decide this I mean in 2016
27:33there were 17 or 18 Republican
27:35candidates now there's 13. uh somehow
27:37someway our Republic survived and we
27:39could survive with 13 candidates I don't
27:41know why there have all this rule to to
27:43eliminate certain people at this point
27:45but rather than those systems can hold
27:46you back
27:47I'm going to say but rather than whine
27:49about it my goal is to get on as many
27:51shows as I can like yours urge people to
27:53go to Larry elder.com give at least one
27:55dollar even if you want somebody else
27:58don't you think it's wise for us to talk
27:59about the epidemic of fatherlessness the
28:01lie that America remains systemic racism
28:03systemically racist uh and the need for
28:05school of choice 13 public high schools
28:07in Baltimore zero percent of the kids
28:08can do math at grade level are you
28:10kidding me 53 public high schools in
28:12Chicago zero percent of the kids can do
28:13math at grade level meanwhile the
28:15Democratic party is opposed to School of
28:16Choice while the party Elites whether
28:18it's Barack Obama or Gavin Newsom or or
28:21Joe Biden have their own kids in private
28:23school it is wrong and we need to talk
28:24about that Larry Elder why would why
28:27would somebody from our community vote
28:28for you or why should they vote for you
28:30why should a black person vote for you
28:31because I'm telling the truth and the
28:32truth oftentimes it's unpleasant it's
28:34not pleasant for me to be called the
28:36black face of white supremacy as the LA
28:37times did it's not pleasant for me to be
28:39accused of being anti-black as Tavis
28:41Smiley once called me because I I don't
28:43support reparations by the way Barack
28:44Obama never supported reparations nobody
28:46called him anti-black we need to talk
28:48about what's going on what's going on is
28:50the breakdown of the family and most of
28:51the things we complain about Downstream
28:53whether it's crime or whether it's bad
28:54schools the Genesis is the breakdown of
28:56the nuclear intact family and we don't
28:58talk enough about it do you agree that
29:00our community is hit harder with a lot
29:01of things that you just said whether it
29:03is racism whether it is getting loans
29:04whether it is getting entrepreneurship
29:06whether it is education whether it is
29:07all those things you do understand that
29:09and agree with I I do but much of it is
29:11either self-inflicted or because of
29:13policies that we have supported
29:14Democrats that we have supported I wrote
29:16a book called It's coming out in uh in
29:18October it's called as ghost California
29:20my mission to rescue the Golden State
29:22and save the nation it's about the
29:24one-party rule in California California
29:25has super majorities of Democrats in the
29:28Senate and in the house and as a result
29:30our schools are working are near the
29:31bottom people are leaving California for
29:33the very first time we have the highest
29:35uh state income tax in the country the
29:37average price of a home in California
29:38cost 175 percent above the national
29:40average all because of these left-wing
29:42policies that are hurting the very
29:43people black and brown people living in
29:45the inner city the people on the left
29:46claim that they care about do you think
29:48slavery is self-inflicted or do you
29:49think Jim Crow segregation was
29:51self-inflicted or do you think
29:54of course it wasn't self-inflicted but
29:57but there are a lot of a lot of people
30:00have bloody hands in slavery for example
30:02slavery could not have existed had it
30:03not been for African Chieftains who were
30:06selling a black slave captured uh in
30:08battle or captured through raids and
30:10selling them to European and Arab
30:12slavers it could not have could not have
30:13existed without that so everybody has
30:15dirty hands here that's why reparations
30:17is such a foolish thing if you're going
30:18to get reparations from the five percent
30:20or so of white people they have some
30:22sort of generational connection to
30:23slavery and that's all there is then you
30:25need to go back to Africa uh and get
30:27money from African countries that were
30:29involved in the slave trade and the and
30:30in the Arab slave trade and by the way
30:32the Arab slave trade was even worse than
30:33the European slave trade ninety percent
30:35rate of attrition often making men and
30:37women walk on Barefoot across the Sahara
30:39and the men were cast rated uh only
30:42about five so so so if they go after the
30:44money from the other countries then
30:45would you agree that it would be okay to
30:46go after the money from America
30:49when are you going to stop with this
30:51everybody has
30:56there'll be no end to this because
30:58slavery has been part of human history
31:00from the very beginning
31:02we'd be getting money let you talk sir
31:04I've let you talk and every time I talk
31:06you begin to talk and then you say let
31:07you finish so I asked you a very simple
31:09question you said if you're going to go
31:10after it in America go after in Africa
31:12so if we all agree to go after that in
31:14Africa will you then agree to go after
31:16that in America it's just a simple
31:17question no no I won't because it's a
31:19waste of time we ought to be spending
31:20our time on on education okay okay you
31:23told me that that I cut you off then I
31:25tried to answer your question you won't
31:26let me finish thank you it's a waste of
31:28time we ought to be talking about
31:29working hard investing in ourselves
31:31right now as we speak they're Haitians
31:33uh in Haiti lining up for a lottery to
31:35come into this country why because it is
31:37the land of the free and the home of the
31:39brave you can go from nothing to
31:40something faster in America than any
31:42other country in all of human history we
31:44ought to be talking about that let me
31:45just one more Point 1997 Time Magazine
31:49and CNN hooked up together to do a poll
31:51on what black teenagers and white
31:53teenagers felt about racism and both of
31:55them were assets racism a major problem
31:56in America both of them said yes but
31:58then time and CNN asked this question of
32:00the of the black teenagers it's racism a
32:03big problem a small problem or no
32:05problem in your own daily life this is
32:061997. 89 of them said small problem or
32:10no problem in my own daily life in fact
32:11twice as many blacks said failure to
32:14take advantage of available
32:15opportunities is a bigger problem than
32:17racism
32:191997. look it up 2023 though
32:22you think America's more racist now
32:24after the election and re-election of
32:25Barack Obama than it was in 1997. yes
32:27because of the election of uh Maga
32:30Donald Trump 100 yes really absolutely
32:33how is it how is it uh Charlemagne that
32:36Donald Trump got eight percent of the
32:37black vote in uh in 2016. he got 12 in
32:422020 50 increase he got 20 percent of
32:45the black male vote in 2020. uh if Maga
32:48is racist how do you explain that that
32:49Donald Trump substantially increased the
32:51percentage of black votes Republican
32:53party God sometimes people make why are
32:54you running against something yes I'm
32:57not running against him I'm running
32:58against Biden Harris any one of the
33:00republican nominees we have would be
33:02better than what we have right now I'm
33:03not running against him I'm running to
33:05put forth the issues I just now
33:06mentioned that I've been talking about
33:07for the last few minutes you know I want
33:08to ask you about that you know after
33:09four indictments 91 criminal charges
33:12don't you think it would behoove the
33:13Republican party to move
33:15on from Donald Trump
33:17I think that the voters and the primary
33:20will make that decision what do you
33:22think though I have no problem with with
33:24uh I thought Donald Trump did an
33:25extraordinary job as president
33:26especially for black people best economy
33:28ever he did something about the borders
33:30the people that are most hurt because of
33:32poorest borders are black people living
33:33in the inner city because most of the
33:35illegal aliens have little or no
33:37education they end up living in the
33:38inner city they compete against black
33:40people with high school or less for jobs
33:41they're about a million fewer black
33:43people working than who would otherwise
33:45be working if it weren't for illegal
33:46alien labor and illegal alien labor
33:48according to a study done by the Civil
33:50Rights Commission puts downward pressure
33:51to the tune of almost two thousand
33:53dollars per year in the salaries of
33:54black people living in the inner city
33:55and Donald Trump gave us the most secure
33:57border we ever had he also supported
33:59school choice he also did the first step
34:01act which allowed about 5 000 mostly
34:04black men with long criminal uh
34:06sentences non-violent to have their
34:07sentences reduced an average of 70
34:09months per uh he pardoned Jack Johnson
34:11the first black heavyweight champion
34:12even Barack Obama didn't do that yeah he
34:14did an extraordinary job for black
34:15people I think you're innocent until
34:16approving guilty but I feel like
34:18President Biden had four indictments 91
34:21criminal charges uh you know President
34:22Obama have won diamonds 91 criminal
34:24charges y'all will be telling them that
34:25they need to step aside and they
34:26shouldn't be running for president well
34:27I wouldn't vote for Barack Obama or for
34:30Joe Biden in any case no matter where
34:31they had indictments or no indictments I
34:33don't vote for tax men regulate liberals
34:35um you're a conservative right obviously
34:37no question what initially made you
34:38gravitate towards being a conservative I
34:41think it was my father my father was a
34:42lifelong Republican and my father always
34:44told my brothers and me the following
34:46Democrats want to give you something for
34:47nothing I'm trying to get something for
34:49nothing you almost always getting
34:50nothing for something and my dad I told
34:52you about his background he told my
34:54brothers and me that hard work wins you
34:56got out of life what you put into it you
34:57cannot control the outcome Larry but you
34:59are 100 in control of the effort before
35:01you moan or groan about what somebody
35:02did or said do you go to the nearest
35:04mirror look at it and ask yourself what
35:05could I have done to change the outcome
35:06and finally Charlemagne my dad told me
35:08my brothers and me this no matter how
35:10hard you work how good you are sooner or
35:12later bad stuff is going to happen to
35:13you how you deal with those bad things
35:14will tell your mother and me if we raise
35:16the man I wrote a book about my father's
35:18life it's called dear father Dear Son
35:19two lives eight hours it's about an
35:21eight-hour conversation he and I had
35:23where at the beginning of the
35:24conversation I thought my dad was harsh
35:25I thought he spanked this too often we
35:28had we had a belt in those days from the
35:30south you spank kids uh and I thought my
35:33dad was way too harsh and we had an
35:35eight hour eight hour conversation and
35:36by the time we ended my dad got bigger
35:38and bigger and bigger and Larry only got
35:39smaller and smaller and smaller I
35:40apologized to him and it's a book that
35:42that's changed a lot of people's lives
35:44it's called as I said your father dear
35:46son lives eight hours the paperback is
35:48called a lot like me same book but it's
35:49cheaper can you honestly say this is the
35:51Republican party that you grew up on
35:54this modern day GOP yes uh the
35:56Republican Party pretty much has always
35:58stood for low taxes low regulation uh uh
36:01Peace Truth strength not strength
36:03through peace and strong borders and
36:04still does
36:05and and when Donald Trump is gone and he
36:07will be gone even if he gets reelected
36:09day after he gets reelected he's a lame
36:10duck the party will still go on the
36:13principles will still go on however I do
36:14believe that uh many people in our party
36:17uh have have uh spent and spent and
36:20spent so that Ronald Reagan my favorite
36:22President when he entered the Oval
36:23Office Charlemagne uh when he left
36:25government was bigger he got bigger
36:27under George Herbert Walker Bush it got
36:28bigger under w got bigger under Donald
36:30Trump and the only way to restrain
36:32spending is with them amendment to the
36:33Constitution to fix spending to a
36:35certain percentage of the GDP with
36:36exception for war and for natural
36:38disaster otherwise we're going to get
36:39bigger and bigger and bigger let me use
36:40a word unsustainable that's the word
36:42Barack Obama used to describe the
36:44so-called entitlements unsustainable was
36:46a word that Bill Clinton used to
36:47describe them but nothing happens
36:49because if you run claiming you're going
36:50to reform Social Security or Medicare
36:52the other side is going to accuse you of
36:53not caring about the sick the poor the
36:55elderly and you are going to lose
36:56elections that's why government gets
36:57bigger and bigger and bigger so we need
36:59a law to restrain spending otherwise
37:00it's going to get bigger and bigger and
37:01bigger and for young people like you uh
37:04these programs are not going to be there
37:06Mr Elder I I know a lot of black
37:09conservatives and and I I I completely
37:11agree about the black family I don't
37:13think anybody here objects to that I'm
37:15sorry about that at all I think when you
37:17talk about ideology and then you mix in
37:19parties and then personalities it gets
37:20kind of confusing and you know you
37:23mention yourself not to moan and groan
37:25you know that as long as you work hard
37:26all is well and I think where the
37:28conflict is coming in is you did moan
37:30and groan about how the Republicans
37:31treated you you did moan and groan about
37:33Governor Newsom and uh you know asking
37:35for a recall you did not leave that up
37:37to the voters you are moaning and
37:39groaning when it comes to Donald Trump
37:40and how he's being treated so it just
37:42seems to be a hypocrisy and I don't know
37:44if the message would land a little bit
37:46better if there was some fairness across
37:48the board on Democrats and Republicans
37:50I'm an independent by the way and I
37:52think both parties are trash and I think
37:53all of us here you know see both sides
37:55and that's the part that's just not
37:57Landing for me there seems to be an
37:59unfairness on both sides with you well
38:01not too surprisingly I don't agree with
38:02your analysis how is it that I did not
38:04leave the recall to the voters what do
38:05you mean by that yeah what do you you
38:07said you said you said I didn't leave
38:08the recall to the voters no no I said
38:10you moaned and groaned about it you you
38:12said it should be recalled correct
38:15correct I said Gavin Newsom should have
38:17been recalled yes right that's moaning
38:19and growing well actually it's taking
38:20advantage of what's in the California
38:21Constitution which is when a certain
38:23percentage of Voters sign a petition to
38:25recall a politician uh there can be a
38:27recall vote and there was one as there
38:29was in 2003 we recall the governor then
38:31and there was in 20 20 21 when I
38:33attempted to recall Gavin Newsom that's
38:34part of our Democratic process in
38:36California absolutely absolutely we we
38:38agree with that I'm going to your
38:39statement when you said rather than moan
38:41about it a little while ago you said
38:42rather than moan about it I'm just going
38:44to keep doing the hard work and so I'm
38:45just saying that technically is moaning
38:47about it because the government
38:49I don't follow I don't follow exactly
38:52what you're saying I believe it's okay
38:56one moment yeah we get it one moment
38:59you're complaining about the system and
39:01the next minute you're saying the system
39:02is is fair the next thing you're saying
39:04is not fair so that's what I'm saying
39:05there just seems to be a double standard
39:07on you and the system not wanting to be
39:10accountable for a system that black
39:11people are not in charge of by the way
39:13do I of not wanting to hold both sides
39:15accountable when it comes to the system
39:17do I believe Hillary was treated
39:18differently and Joe Biden treated
39:20differently than Donald Trump is being
39:21treated yes I do is that an indictment
39:24about whether or not America is
39:25systemically racist no it is not
39:28two different things yes if you're
39:30trying to merge the two but they're two
39:32totally different things I agree with
39:33you there's two different things we're
39:34agreeing we're agreeing to two different
39:36things we're agreeing really terrific
39:38things we're not agreeing that there's a
39:39systematic racism because we're not in
39:41charge of the system sir in case you
39:43okay okay all right all right can we can
39:45we black people have never been in
39:46charge of any system actually actually
39:48we have been take Baltimore no we've
39:50never been in charge may I finish anyway
39:52no tell me what Financial system are

40:22said system I'm going to tell you about
40:25this system if you allow me to finish my
40:26point I'm not talking about somebody
40:27elected and doing a job sir I asked what
40:29system did we create what Finance okay
40:31let's talk about the system of one of
40:33the largest thank you when the systems
40:35of one of the largest uh cities in
40:36America Baltimore uh Freddie gray died
40:39in police custody a few years ago uh the
40:41mayor was black the head of the police
40:44department was black number two it's not
40:46in charge of the system but go ahead
40:47number two person in charge of the
40:49police department was black all all the
40:52city council Democrats majority black
40:54still not in charge of the system wow
40:57six officers charged three of them were
41:00black a judge before whom two of the
41:01officers tried their case found him not
41:03guilty was black still not in charge the
41:06city uh uh intended of public schools
41:11was black the county superintendent of
41:12public schools is black
41:14um the Attorney General at the time
41:16Loretta Lynch is black as was the
41:18president of the United States was black
41:19and yet still not in charge of the
41:21system
41:22well Wanda Sykes said when when uh when
41:26Barack Obama got elected how are you
41:27gonna complain about the man when you
41:29are the man now from the president to
41:31the attorney general to the state
41:32attorney uh to the mayor to the head of
41:34the police department uh to the
41:36commissions of the schools in the city
41:38and in the county uh to the majority of
41:40City Council in that City all of them
41:42are black and you're still saying that
41:44we don't run anything no no I said who
41:47created the system I didn't say we
41:48didn't run anything I I challenge a lot
41:50of those black leaders by the way I said
41:52who when we talk about the system who
41:54what black people have been in charge of
41:56any system I'm not talking about a
41:57position I'm not talking about a mayor
41:59you know you're basically saying that
42:01they're black faces that are still in no
42:03probation
42:04so you're a black face in a position in
42:07the conservative movement they're just
42:09the same they're just on the other side
42:10I'm talking about so then so so then so
42:12then when Martin Luther King said in
42:141966 I believe there could be a black
42:15president uh in about 40 years time then
42:18it really doesn't matter if there's one
42:19or Israel nothing changes
42:27realize they're correct wow
42:31an individual killed him
42:33right that was also a part of crow Hotel
42:36through the system correct not correct
42:39not correct FBI didn't have anything to
42:43do with it the CIA didn't have anything
42:44to do with it was definitely on Martin's
42:46ass like I didn't say he wasn't uh
42:49Robert Kennedy is the one that approved
42:51the wiretaps but to say that the FBI
42:52killed him I mean what's your evidence
42:55of that oh no that's pretty serious
42:57charge yeah yeah pretty serious charge
42:59serious charges yeah
43:04uh it is to allow states to set up
43:07commissions of retired judges and
43:09retired DA's to get rid of these soft on
43:11crime George Soros back DA's that are
43:13allowing a bunch of bad people on the
43:15streets or not charging bad people to
43:16the full extent of the law and the
43:18people that by and large are hurt by
43:19these people are the very black and
43:21brown people living in the Inner City
43:23um
43:24there's a Larry krasner is a George
43:28Soros back D.A in Philadelphia he's been
43:30impeached but this Philadelphia state
43:32senate wouldn't even take up the case
43:33we've had two attempts to repeal a soft
43:35on crime D.A in L.A county and it hasn't
43:39gone through yet we've got a bunch of in
43:42my opinion this guy Alvin Bragg he ran
43:44promising to get Donald Trump and when
43:46he got in he said the evidence wasn't
43:47there and then one of the former DA's
43:49writes a book accuses a brag of giving
43:51Donald Trump a pass and all of a sudden
43:53he brings counts against Donald Trump I
43:55think it's unfair do you think members
43:57of your party are leaning toward fascism
44:02Define fascism I mean the rejection of
44:04democracy the rule of law and equal
44:06rights under the law in favor of a
44:07strong man Donald Trump who interprets
44:09the popular will
44:11uh no I don't uh there was a long
44:13article about Barack Obama by one of my
44:16mentors his name is Thomas Soul he's an
44:18economist he's a black conservative he's
44:20still alive right 95 years old and he
44:22wrote a piece in which he said a lot of
44:24people call people like Barack Obama
44:26socialist socialism is government
44:28ownership of the means of production
44:29fascism is when the government allows
44:32you to own me into production but
44:34government tells you what to do and he
44:35said frankly technically people like
44:37Barack Obama are fascists that is to say
44:39these are left wound people telling you
44:41how to run your business telling you
44:42what to sell telling you what you can't
44:44sell for example in California we have a
44:46governor named Gavin Newsom who recently
44:48said by the year 2035 no more sailed of
44:51new gas powered cars how dare you uh
44:54most people don't want an EV they like
44:56their own gasoline-powered cars but now
44:58you're telling car dealership they can't
44:59even sell them what do you call that but
45:01what about you know uh when they you
45:03tell women what to do with their bodies
45:05well that is a moral issue I happen to
45:07be pro-life and I believe that uh uh
45:10that abortion is a sin that's not
45:13telling women what to do with their body
45:14that's expressing my opinion about
45:15whether or not it is right or it is
45:17wrong for example there is a guy right
45:19now behind bars in Philadelphia named Dr
45:21Kermit Gosnell he is an abortion doctor
45:24who performed late-term abortions when I
45:26ask people who consider my position to
45:28be extreme I ask him tell me at what
45:30point do you believe pregnancy has gone
45:31so far that to terminate The Unborn
45:33would be would be homicide and almost
45:35nobody will give you an answer so in
45:37other words what you're really telling
45:39me then is this guy Dr Kermit Gosnell
45:41should be set free he's a political
45:43prisoner he was persecuted unfairly if
45:45you want if you won't tell me when you
45:46think at what point of pregnancy cannot
45:48be terminated unless it's less unless
45:50it's homicide uh then to me you're
45:52essentially allowing women to to Kill
45:55The Unborn no matter how old that unborn
45:56is and I and I think that's wrong the
45:59other thing strongly real quickly on
46:00this issue
46:01it'd be one thing if the pro-life
46:03Community was not talking to talk and
46:04walking the walk but there are literally
46:06thousands of pregnancy centers All Over
46:08America whether it's funding for
46:10adoption services funding for housing
46:12funding for Education funding for job
46:14training to let women know they have
46:17Alternatives and every state will decide
46:19this the government shouldn't be passing
46:20some sort of law one way or the other
46:22regarding abortion every State's going
46:24to decide that I'm in California which
46:25is a deep blue State there have been two
46:27initiatives to restrict abortion I voted
46:29in favor of them I was overwhelmingly
46:30defeated and when abortion has been put
46:32on the ballot in recent years other
46:34people that wanted abortion restrictions
46:35have lost the American people pretty
46:37much have said first-term abortions they
46:39want them to be legal late-term
46:40abortions they don't want them to be
46:42legal I happen to disagree with that but
46:43I'm willing to live in a society that
46:45has a different point of view than I
46:46have on this issue and you have a real
46:47democracy if you're taking away people's
46:49Power of Choice
46:51if you're taking away people's power to
46:53choose and not giving them any options
46:55well if you consider it to be if you
46:56considered to be a crime uh that
46:58abortion is a sin in my opinion not
47:00taking people the right to choose you're
47:02making a moral statement about what's
47:03right and what's wrong I mean there's a
47:04lot of sins though sex before marriage
47:06is a sin I'm sure you did some of that
47:08as for the sins of my past either the
47:10Lord has forgiven me or the statute of
47:12limitations have run out I'm making a
47:14joke about that a lot of people of
47:16course make mistakes yes
47:18okay and I think that people uh should
47:20deal with the consequences of their
47:22actions and and if you let people know
47:24their consequences to their actions it
47:26will inform their actions and make them
47:27behave more responsibly anytime you
47:29allow bad behavior to continue you're
47:31going to get more bad behavior whether
47:32that's so how does that apply to
47:33president Trump then because you said
47:35that was a two-tier system that because
47:37I don't I don't believe I don't believe
47:39Donald Trump you don't think you need
47:40anything I don't think he did anything
47:41wrong no I don't I believe that he
47:43complained about the election the same
47:44way Hillary did Hillary for four years
47:46referred to the 2016 elections having
47:48been stolen her word not mine she called
47:50Donald Trump illegitimate her word not
47:52mine uh Jay Johnson who's Obama's DHS
47:54secretary testified under oath that not
47:57a single vote tally was changed by the
47:59Russians they tried but they failed to
48:00change a single vote tally 66 percent of
48:02Democrats believe the Russians change
48:04votalis to get Donald Trump elected even
48:07though Jay Johnson testified underworld
48:08not a single one with change that's the
48:10damage that people like Hillary and
48:12former President Jimmy Carter uh and
48:14Stacy Abrams and Hakeem Jeffries and
48:16others have said for years referring to
48:18Donald Trump it's illegitimate a greater
48:20percentage of Democrats believe 2016 was
48:21stolen then we feel that way about 2020
48:24but yet nobody calls him election
48:25deniers and nobody accuses him of
48:27undermining our Republic and they're not
48:28undermining our Republic they're
48:29complaining about an election you have a
48:31right to do so
48:32I know I know you probably got to go uh
48:34have you ever heard of the term a [ __ ]
48:36wake up call no
48:38it is an incident where a person of
48:40color forgets that they are of color and
48:42are reminded rather brutally by an
48:44unexpected Act of racism
48:48you think well I'm acutely aware
48:51Charlemagne that I'm a black person just
48:53as you are a black person and when uh
48:55Joe Biden insulted you by saying you
48:58ain't really black we don't know whether
48:59or not you want to vote for me or vote
49:00for Donald Trump uh the team see me that
49:02should have been a wake-up call on your
49:03part how dare this guy come in here and
49:05insult you a black man and tell you you
49:07got to think a certain kind of way I'm
49:08amazed that you weren't mad about that
49:11um I'm not gonna say that it upset me
49:13it's like I'm not letting you upset me
49:14you know I mean I don't tend to get
49:15upset over things like that but what I
49:16did say well you just not talk about a
49:18[ __ ] wake-up call and it seemed to me
49:19that that should have been a wake-up
49:20call on your part to have a white guy
49:22come in here who also said by the way uh
49:25uh about Mitt Romney
49:27um uh because he didn't want to put more
49:30regulations on Wall Street gonna put
49:31y'all back in Chains and Joe Biden has
49:33lied for decades about the Civil Rights
49:35record claiming that he desegregated
49:37movie theaters and restaurants and
49:38Wilmington Delaware when he didn't any
49:40didn't do any of that he lied and said
49:42that he tried to visit Nelson Mandela
49:43during apartheid South Africa he did not
49:45and he came in here and told you you
49:47weren't even black unless you think a
49:48certain kind of way it seemed to me that
49:50should have been a [ __ ] wake-up call
49:51for you but it wasn't apparently I mean
49:52you know for the record I'm not a
49:53Democrat or Republican I didn't say you
49:55were I think I don't know what you are I
49:57never even asked you about your party
49:58affiliation yeah I'm just saying but you
50:00are black and to have a white guy come
50:02in here and tell you you have to say
50:03think a certain kind of way otherwise
50:04you quote ain't black wow how should I
50:06reply to him you think
50:08what I just now said how dare you insult
50:10me and tell me I I think as a human
50:12being let alone as a black person I
50:13don't tell you how to thank Joe Biden
50:15how dare you come in here and tell me
50:16how I I should think I'm going to vote
50:18for Donald Trump if I want to vote for
50:19Donald Trump and if I want to vote for
50:21Donald Trump it does not make me not
50:22black 20 of black people black men as I
50:25said I voted for Donald Trump in 2020
50:27are they not black now so only 80 of
50:29black people black men walking around
50:31are really black 20 or not because they
50:33voted for Donald Trump how insulting is
50:34that how condescending is that um
50:37I I mean you probably right but I didn't
50:39take it in that way well I did as I said
50:41to him in that moment you know it's just
50:42about me wanting something for my people
50:44and I want to know what is he going to
50:45do for my people and not only for my
50:47people now how are you going to atone
50:48for the things you've done to my people
50:50right that's it right this is a guy uh
50:52Joe Biden who when he first got into the
50:54Senate hung out with segregationists
50:55talked about how well he got along with
50:57him I talked about how he didn't want
50:59integration because of a jungle uh this
51:01guy has made all sorts of insulting
51:02things to black people and his policies
51:04right now are hurting black people
51:05inflation hurts the people at the bottom
51:07more than anything else letting a bunch
51:09of illegal aliens into the Border or
51:10hurting black people more than anybody
51:11else as I said earlier he supports
51:14oppose a School of Choice when he has
51:15his own kids in private school and we
51:17lost a year almost two years of
51:19in-school education in California
51:20because of covet that he supported I
51:23mean this guy has done monstrous things
51:24to black people and then for him to come
51:26in here and tell you how you ought to
51:27think of the black person it blew my
51:29mind as a person objectively who doesn't
51:31care about either the party when I just
51:32take a step back and I just look at what
51:34everything that's happening I see one
51:36party that theme still committed to
51:38democracy somewhat and one party who's
51:41headed fast towards fascism
51:43that's just my personal opinion so who
51:45do you think I would vote for well well
51:47let's let's talk let's talk about
51:48fascism since I assume you're talking
51:50about uh election denying uh in 2000
51:53when George W bush won the election over
51:56Al Gore uh the Democrats the first week
51:58of of January 2001 tried to overturn the
52:01results in Florida
52:03uh 2004 George W bush gets reelected uh
52:06Democrats including Benny Thompson the
52:08chair of the January 6 committee Jamie
52:10Raskin a member of the January 6
52:11committee joined with 28 other house
52:13Democrats and Senator Barbara Box would
52:15overturn the results in Ohio claiming
52:17without any evidence the Debo voting
52:19machine had been hacked uh 2016 January
52:2220 January 2017 Democrats challenged
52:25more States uh trying to get the
52:27election overturned that elected Donald
52:29Trump then Donald Trump challenged the
52:31first week of January in 2021. nobody
52:33accused them of undermining our Republic
52:35nobody accused them of being fascist
52:36they exercise whatever means they could
52:39to try to win the election I want to
52:41remind you that Hillary Clinton advised
52:43Joe Biden during the 2020 election if it
52:46is a close election quote do not concede
52:48under any circumstances close quote
52:50Donald Trump used whatever legal means
52:52he could advancing some novel legal
52:55theories to try to stay in office and he
52:57failed but I don't blame him for trying
52:59yeah but it's not just election denying
53:01it's the disdain the women in fear of
53:03non-standard gender identities and
53:04sexual orientation disdain for the
53:06galvanizing of popular rage against
53:08cultural Elites it's nationalism based
53:10on dominance Superior racing historic
53:12Bloodlines like there's a lot of things
53:13that Republicans are doing well what
53:15about what about uh what about uh Joe
53:17Biden going to Howard University as he
53:19did recently giving a commencement
53:20speech Charlemagne and he said the
53:21number one threat to the Homeland was
53:23white supremacy really the anti-defense
53:26the Anti-Defamation League keeps track
53:28of how many people are killed by
53:29extremists no matter the race of the
53:30extremists every year last year there
53:32were 25. as I said in 2020 there are 11
53:35000 blacks who were murdered almost all
53:37murdered by other people not murdered by
53:39white extremists it's a lie to say white
53:40extremists is a big problem in America
53:42it's a lie it's what Democrats do to get
53:44black people angry it's what Democrats
53:47fine uh I don't I don't agree with that
53:50the number one threat to the Homeland is
53:52a large number of people who are engaged
53:54in criminal activity uh and what
53:56Democrats do is tell black people racism
53:58racist and racism they tried out David
54:00Duke or some other effect simile every
54:02four years to tell black people vote for
54:04us because after all we're the party of
54:06racial justice social justice inequity
54:08and these nationally people over there
54:09these Republicans are the party of Jim
54:12Crow and slavery even though it was the
54:13Democratic party that was a party of Jim
54:15Crow and slavery so why should black
54:16people rock with the GOP then like what
54:19are the reasons economics
54:21uh I had Tavis Smiley and Cornell West
54:23on my radio show one Charlemagne
54:26and I told Tavis and and Cornell West
54:28that under Ronald Reagan black adult
54:30unemployment fell faster than white
54:31adult unemployment black Hispanic
54:33unemployment fell faster than did white
54:35unemployment black teenage unemployment
54:37fell faster than did white a teenage
54:39unemployment black businesses were
54:40created at a rate faster uh their
54:42revenues grew at a rate faster and they
54:43both told me that I was wrong and that
54:45they would have the data on my desk by
54:46Monday that was 15 years ago I know the
54:49mail is slow but it seems to me they
54:50should have given it to me by now again
54:52Donald Trump resided over the best
54:54economy ever for black people lowest
54:56unemployment and it seems to me the
54:59number one reason that most people vote
55:00is because of the economy we have had
55:0240-year historic high in inflation we've
55:05had gas prices that are now about 40
55:06percent more than what they were when uh
55:09Joe Biden came into office and we have
55:10about seven million illegal aliens in
55:13our country and the bulk of the
55:15suffering because of these illegal
55:17aliens will be borne by black people
55:18living in the inner city those are those
55:20are three reasons alone not not to vote
55:22for the Democratic party and to vote for
55:24Republican party and by the way I'm not
55:25voting for a fishing buddy it's not
55:26because I like Trump or like him
55:28personally I'm voting for policies and I
55:30don't really care whether or not uh his
55:32his personality offends people and he
55:34does bad tweets maybe it might be better
55:36for our society if he were more polite I
55:39don't know I don't care I'm not voting
55:40for a phishing buddy I'm voting for
55:41somebody to keep taxes low keep
55:43regulations low uh to secure the borders
55:45and keep us out of unnecessary Wars
55:46would it be fun to have money in the
55:48fastest country though to be black and
55:49have money in the fastest country
55:51I don't agree this is a fascist country
55:54it's always better to have money than
55:56not to have money um
55:58all right anything else says
56:00well I just just a simple question have
56:02the Republicans done anything uh that
56:04you disagree with just out of curiosity
56:06they spend too much uh I think taxes are
56:08still too high uh I think that there are
56:12a lot of Republicans that support things
56:13like minimum wages and by the way Milton
56:15Friedman one of my favorite economists
56:17said the minimum wage is perhaps the
56:18most anti-black law in the statute books
56:20close quote at one time a black teenager
56:22was more likely to have a job than a
56:24white teenager until the minimum wage
56:25came along and kicked it up and up and
56:27up so there are policies at the
56:28Republican Party supports unlike minimum
56:31wage some of them do that I don't like
56:32also also kinds of Licensing unnecessary
56:36licensing I was at an Apple Store a few
56:38years ago and this black woman waited on
56:40me and she was very sharp technically
56:41I'm not very technically sharp and I was
56:43very impressed and I said have you
56:44always been technically sharp she goes
56:45well I'm not really I I'm just here
56:47because I want to uh
56:50earn enough money to get a license to
56:51cut hair I said black hair she said yes
56:53I said you don't know how to cut that
56:55black hair already I have black barbers
56:57in my family everybody learned how to
56:58cut hair on their own she said well in
57:00California you have to have a license uh
57:02to get uh if they have a a license to
57:05get open up a shop to cut hair that's
57:07how much does it cost she said five
57:08thousand dollars I said you need to get
57:10a five thousand dollar license to learn
57:12how to do something you already know how
57:13to do what is that so a lot of the rules
57:15and regulations
57:20the system applies to both blacks and
57:22whites too but fair enough those systems
57:25ought to be struck down uh and uh so
57:27there are lots of things Republicans do
57:28that I don't know you know that you know
57:30they have to train how to learn with
57:32diseases and to make sure your clippers
57:33are clean and make sure certain things
57:35that you have to follow certain
57:36protocols so that you can be a barber so
57:38that you can make sure that the
57:40community's safe when you're doing these
57:41these protocols well if if there weren't
57:44government protocols there'd be other
57:46protocols for example there's something
57:48called the consumer reports uh that's
57:50not government and it comes out and it
57:52talks about cars and what cars are good
57:54cars are safe if Government didn't do
57:56this kind of thing entrepreneurs would
57:57step in and they would have licensing so
57:59there'd be a little sticker on the
58:01window when you go to a barber shop and
58:02they would say I've been approved by
58:04so-and-so licensing board or
58:05organization some of it's [ __ ] 5000
58:07is too much though there are there are
58:09all sorts of things that we would do if
58:10the government was not doing them do you
58:12have a black bubble yeah I do oh okay
58:14just making sure actually actually I
58:15have a black barber for 25 5 30 years he
58:18got cancer and now the person that owns
58:21a shop who is Latina cuts my hair okay I
58:23do want to ask you one final question
58:24when did you when do you think systemic
58:26racism ended since you said it don't
58:28exist anymore when did it end um I can't
58:30come up with a specific time but uh
58:32civil rights Civil Rights Act of 1964 uh
58:36Brown versus Board of Education the
58:37loving versus Virginia act that struck
58:39down uh race mixing you couldn't for 13
58:43states you couldn't marry a white woman
58:46um again I think that when Barack Obama
58:48got elected that was a big deal uh when
58:50Obama got elected this is really
58:52important he got elected with a little
58:54more than 52 of the vote
58:56he walks into the Oval Office the third
58:57week of January he had a 70 approval how
59:00can that be how can 15 all of a sudden
59:02support this man it wasn't because they
59:04wanted capital gains taxes raised which
59:06Obama promised to do it wasn't because
59:07of Obamacare which Obama promised to do
59:09is because many Americans said at the
59:11very least he'll stop the nonsense that
59:13America remains systemically racist and
59:15for eight years in my humble opinion he
59:17played race card after race card after
59:19race card so when he entered the Oval
59:21Office both blacks and whites thought
59:22race relations were getting would get
59:24better when he left both blacks and
59:25wives thought they got worse why because
59:27he did things like the Cambridge Police
59:29acted stupidly when they didn't if I had
59:31a son he looked like Trayvon when what
59:33happened to Trayvon had nothing to do
59:34with his race he embraced black lives
59:36matter uh he invited Al Sharpton in the
59:38White House over 70 times uh he said
59:41that racism is in America's DNA he said
59:43all sorts of things so that when he left
59:45both blacks and whites thought relations
59:46race relations got worse
59:48this is where the and we can just agree
59:51to disagree because you're mixing race
59:52relations and voters what voters decided
59:55to do who might just be very good people
59:57that decided to elect a black man
59:59confusing with institutional system
1:00:01racism and those are just two totally
1:00:04different things and it's okay if we
1:00:05just agree to disagree
1:00:06um you know we're I'm talking about
1:00:07structures not what voters did or you
1:00:10know voters wanted to see better race
1:00:11relations we're talking about structures
1:00:13the same structures that you've
1:00:14referenced several times that have also
1:00:16spited you so Joe Biden for example when
1:00:19Georgia reformed his law said it was
1:00:21worse than Jim Crow it's Jim Eagle more
1:00:23blacks voted in Georgia than ever before
1:00:25the percentage of blacks increased uh if
1:00:28the structure how is it that the
1:00:29structure did not stop black people from
1:00:30voting in Georgia
1:00:32well I'm not talking about voting sir
1:00:34I'm talking about it let just just to be
1:00:36fair I think Joe Biden and what Joe
1:00:38bideners did to African Americans
1:00:39particularly with the War on Drugs was
1:00:41one of the worst things that actually
1:00:42happened to black people just to put
1:00:44that on the record he he too was a part
1:00:45of that system that I'm talking about
1:00:46Democrats as well I just try to stay
1:00:49balanced to say that that same system
1:00:50goes applies on both sides Democrats and
1:00:53Republicans helped with mass
1:00:54incarceration Joe Joe uh Biden LED it
1:00:57wrote it so so we have no problem or I
1:00:59have no problem uh condemning him as a
1:01:02Democrat for what he's done I'm just
1:01:03talking about institutions versus
1:01:06relations are just two totally different
1:01:07things and that's just where we you know
1:01:09just disagree with that and that's okay
1:01:11well we didn't really get into mass
1:01:12incarceration but most people who are
1:01:14behind bars or behind bars because they
1:01:15committed a violent crime against
1:01:16somebody else and often the black people
1:01:18who are behind bars committed to
1:01:19violence crime against another black
1:01:21person uh well when I'm talking about
1:01:23mass incarceration I'm not talking about
1:01:24violent crimes I'm talking about
1:01:25non-violent crimes particularly the War
1:01:27on Drugs I was very clear I I I agree I
1:01:30agree I agree with you that that I
1:01:32believe that the drug problem should be
1:01:34dealt with as a health problem rather
1:01:35than a criminal justice problem but most
1:01:36people are not behind bars for using
1:01:38drugs or for dealing drugs they're
1:01:40behind bars for having committed a
1:01:41violent act against another person sure
1:01:43but that wasn't what I was talking about
1:01:44I was very clear when I talked about Joe
1:01:45Biden writing the crime Bill and mass
1:01:47incarceration when we're on drugs to
1:01:49non-violent offenders so that's a
1:01:51different conversation you're weaving
1:01:52the two together so we just just have a
1:01:55disagreement on institutions versus race
1:01:57relations and that's okay well well in
1:01:59order for you to go go to jail you have
1:02:01to commit a crime if you walk down the
1:02:02street not always when you're black in
1:02:05America
1:02:05well where are the class action lawsuits
1:02:07Charlemagne we have all these black
1:02:08lawyers many black people have gone to
1:02:11law school where are the class action
1:02:13lawsuits uh claiming that a bunch of
1:02:15people are behind bars illegally
1:02:17wrongfully where are they so you think
1:02:19everybody that's behind I didn't say
1:02:20that I didn't say that why don't you
1:02:22answer my question where are the class
1:02:23action lawsuits oh you gotta need money
1:02:25to do classes you have you have you've
1:02:27had a you've had a black Attorney
1:02:28General Eric Holder or you had
1:02:30back-to-back black Attorneys General
1:02:31Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch why didn't
1:02:33they release a whole bunch of people who
1:02:36are illegally Behind Bars why didn't
1:02:37they do that yeah
1:02:39I criticized them as well one on record
1:02:41because actually you're right uh he lied
1:02:43and said that he was going to fix the
1:02:44crack cocaine disparaging so I went on
1:02:46record you're right and guess what guess
1:02:48what he works for the system so he's
1:02:50just a black face that works for the
1:02:51system at the time so again we just
1:02:53disagree on systems and institutions
1:02:55versus Black Faces in high places well
1:02:57the disparity has been has been
1:02:58rectified uh now you go to jail for
1:03:00dealing powder as you do as you do for
1:03:03dealing crack and at one time there was
1:03:04a distance
1:03:05ratio is not the same
1:03:07well because the dealers are not the
1:03:09same uh for example there are more white
1:03:11people behind bars for drunk driving
1:03:13than or black people there are certain
1:03:14categories
1:03:17depend on it depends on the drug more
1:03:19whites are behind bars for meth than
1:03:21than uh than blacks going all over the
1:03:22place sir we were talking about it's
1:03:24very clear you said drugs depends on the
1:03:25category of drugs it depends on the
1:03:27category of drugs more whites are
1:03:28involved in meth and blacks I gave you
1:03:30the category that I wanted to talk about
1:03:31and you start talking about drugs all
1:03:33over the place
1:03:34okay more blacks are involved in crack
1:03:36cocaine more whites were involved in
1:03:38powder more whites were involved in mesk
1:03:40than blacks depends on the category of
1:03:43the of the drug you're talking about and
1:03:44I was talking about a very clear
1:03:45category and I gave you I I told you
1:03:47where I just criticized the black man
1:03:48who was in charge and you skipped over
1:03:50that and went right to talking about
1:03:52drunk driving so again so sir we I have
1:03:55no problem with criticizing black
1:03:56Democrats we we do that Charlemagne does
1:03:58that all the time it's just the
1:04:00imbalance of understanding that even
1:04:01Black Faces in high places even
1:04:03including yours and Democrats
1:04:05Republicans just being fair across the
1:04:07board that's all well that that to me
1:04:10that to me basically is no different
1:04:11than what Joe Biden just did with
1:04:13Charlemagne which is to tell me as a
1:04:14black person I got to think a certain
1:04:16kind of way otherwise I'm not I didn't
1:04:17like and I didn't like that either well
1:04:18you just did I didn't like that either
1:04:19you just did I didn't call me a black
1:04:21face as if I'm supposed to think a
1:04:22certain kind of ways I said faced in
1:04:24high places I said they're everywhere
1:04:25you're a black face you're in a high
1:04:27place you're running for president of
1:04:28the United States that's a high place
1:04:29you are a black face correct I said so
1:04:31there's black face in high and high
1:04:33places on both sides so it's just about
1:04:34being fair for me on both sides I've
1:04:37mentioned I agree with that I agree with
1:04:39that yeah I mentioned several Democrats
1:04:41that have a problem with several several
1:04:42several including Joe Biden so you don't
1:04:44have to sell us on that we get that I
1:04:47saw that's all and black conservatives
1:04:49agree with a lot of your message Mr
1:04:51Elder but when you're when you're not
1:04:52balanced across the board it just kind
1:04:54of lands flat that's all who's um who's
1:04:56cocaine do you think it was in the white
1:04:57house since we're talking about drugs I
1:04:59have no idea all I know is that it seems
1:05:01to me it's to be scary that this that
1:05:03secret service has closed the
1:05:04investigation without identifying a
1:05:06suspect what other kind of stuff goes in
1:05:08and out of the of the White House
1:05:09without anybody knowing about it but I
1:05:11have no idea I just think it's bizarre
1:05:13that the investigation all of a sudden
1:05:14got closed that fast and you think
1:05:15criminal charges should be bought
1:05:16against President Biden right
1:05:18I think there certainly should be an
1:05:20investigation about the pay for play
1:05:21stuff that we're hearing the IRS
1:05:23whistleblowers are saying that the they
1:05:25were told to stand down in their
1:05:26investigation uh I think there's a
1:05:28double standard going on as I said
1:05:30earlier for example Donald Trump has
1:05:31been indicted for document possession
1:05:32there is a special counsel investigating
1:05:35uh Joe Biden for document possession but
1:05:37his Defenders are saying well Joe Biden
1:05:39unlike Donald Trump turned over the
1:05:40documents readily when they were found
1:05:42out to have them and if that's the case
1:05:44why is the investigation still taking so
1:05:45long
