Joe Biden Spreads Big Lie About Black People in America

CLAY: Buck as we’re kind of breaking down the larger discussions surrounding shootings in America, we mentioned that Barack Obama had sent out an ill-timed and incredibly inarticulate combination tweet where he tried to mention the shooting in Uvalde and tie it into George Floyd.

Joe Biden — it’s disgusting the degree to which Democrats are desperate to terrify black people and convince them that there are white supremacists and KKK hooded henchmen hiding behind every corner and that they could die at any moment at the hand of domestic terrorism on the basis of white supremacy. Just not true.

It’s a lie, but it is an essence of the Democrat Party platform right now, which basically boils down to identity politics, i.e., if you are a particular identity, you have to vote for us and cancel culture, which is, if you aren’t a member of our party, we’re gonna try to destroy you for anything you say that is in the remotest bit controversial while they get to define controversy.

But listen to Joe Biden yesterday spreading more lies about the dangers that black people face in America. Listen to this.

BIDEN: As we’ve seen all too often, public trust is frayed and broken. And that undermines public safety. The families here today and across the country have had to ask why this nation, why so many black Americans wake up knowing they could lose their life, of course, just living their life today, simply jogging, shopping, sleeping at home, whether they made headlines or not, lost soul gone too soon. Members of Congress including many here today like Senator Cory Booker and Congressman Karen Bass long side members of Congressional Black Caucus, House and Senate judiciary committees, spent countless hours on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to find a better answer to that question.

CLAY: It’s just a lie, Buck. Black people are not in danger from white people statistically, from police officers statistically. This is the big lie. You want to talk about big lies, Democrats love to talk about big lies. This is the big lie that BLM is trying to sell that is directly leading to thousands of black people who would otherwise be alive being dead today.

The true irony of the BLM protest, despite the fact that almost no media will discuss it, is that BLM has caused thousands of black men and women who would otherwise be alive to be dead because crime has skyrocketed and they’re the overwhelming victims of it. Most of that crime, by the way, black-on-black violence.

And the people who help to stop that crime from happening — black, white, Asian, Hispanic police officers all over the country — they’ve been turned into the enemy.

BUCK: Joe Biden is a shameless panderer for his entire career, that is what Joe Biden does. He just says whatever he thinks will play to the audience that he’s speaking to of Democrats. And on the issue of criminal justice right now, they do not have anything to show for all of the — all the talk that happened — and look. This is something — it’s a reminder for everybody, there was a focus in the Trump White House and some victory laps, even, on criminal justice reform. There wasn’t enough of a focus on, well, what are we really reforming here? What’s really going on?

Because for every person that they then commuted a sentence of, let’s say — you know, I’m in favor of that, right, if someone has a nonviolent drug crime they got hit with a really, really long sentence, I was in favor of that, but while there was a focus on that and this was happening even in the Trump administration, there wasn’t enough attention paid to, hey, what’s going on with all these Soros-backed prosecutors?

And, by the way, that’s not some conspiracy theory. Prosecutors in major cities and jurisdictions all across the country have gotten large donations for usually a district attorney campaign is not something that draws a lot of money, right? People are like “I’m not gonna give to that guy or gal because I’m not gonna before a break the law, so who do I care who the DA is. ”

Now, people are focusing in a lot more currently than they used to but Soros wrote checks to these different district attorneys and their basic attitude is, look. You know, if someone needs to be able to get arrested 30 or 40 times, if someone bludgeoning old lazy with rusty lead pipes on the street ’cause there’s having a bad day, we don’t want to be too rough on them. That’s wrong. And, oh, by the way, if there’s a disparate impact on minority communities from the enforcement of the law, that’s racist.

See, I think conservatives take a very different perspective on this, Clay. And this is true of — I mean, this was true when I was working in the NYPD which, by the way, is about — I think about 40, 45% minority right now. It’s a very heavily minority police force. Might even be more than that now.

Their attitude is, we enforce the law, and we enforce the law in all communities and including in minority communities irrespective of what the final demographic information says about who we’re arresting because if we’re in an all-black — you know, almost entirely black neighborhood, entirely Hispanic neighborhood, whatever the case may be, we’re protecting the 99% of law-abiding, good people in the community from the 1% who prey on them.

They know this. If you go to any precinct in New York City and you shut down, you came back the intelligence division offers who work with these precincts, who are the guys that are shooting people and robbing people in your community, what are the gangs that are active? They know. And it’s less than 1% of — and you talk about the worst communities.

So you can protect the 99% of people and just do what law enforcement needs to do irrespective of whatever that means in terms of the arrest, you know, what the arrest percentages are, or you can take the left’s point of view, which is, we need to balance things out more, and that means less arrests across the board.

CLAY: I also — anybody out there who responds and says police are racist, I just — you would ask you to respond this way. Are they sexist? Because the vast majority of people that are getting arrested by police are men.

So the argument of, “Oh, police are behaving in a racist fashion, we hear that all the time.” Well, the percentage of arrests, something like 95% male. So give an the fact that the population’s roughly 50-50, why wouldn’t you argue that police are sexist? The reality is, police go after whoever the criminals are, right? And that’s how they protect us.

But it’s amazing, Buck, the silence that you’ll get when you hit people with that stat. You’re really focused, when somebody says policing is very racist in this country. Say, okay. Well, isn’t it super sexist way more than it’s racist? Because 95% plus of the people being arrested for violent crimes in this country are male. Why are police ignoring all these women who are committing crimes?

BUCK: Misandry is hatred of men, right? Misogyny is, you know, antagonism toward women, and misandry, I think, is toward men.

CLAY: I think you’re right, although that’s a word that nobody ever hears.

BUCK: Yeah, ’cause, you know, it’s not really a thing. But I think it technically exists. And, you know, if you took the left’s point of view on this, laws against homicide because of their disproportionate impact on men who are the ones who commit homicide, the leftist point of view, the leftist framing of these issues would be laws against homicide are an example of man hatred or misandry.

CLAY: Systemic anti-masculinity.

BUCK: They’d probably get excited about that. Systematic anti-masculinity, I mean, really the credo of the left is the credo of the beta male, overwhelmingly.

CLAY: Yeah, and look. Buck, I mean, one of the big topics of conversation I think a lot of people are having out there is how much of our young, angry men problem — ’cause I think it is fair to say that there are a lot of young, angry men in America right now. How much is it about demonizing men in general? How much is it about absent fathers? How much is it about a crisis of masculinity?

I think that’s real in this country across white, black, Asian, Hispanic. We have so demonized men that we have created a generation of men who don’t know 15, 16, 17, 18, I’m sure a lot of you out there know what I’m talking about — don’t know how they fit in in society today.

BUCK: I mean, it’s amazing, isn’t it? You have kids of school age.

CLAY: Three boys.

BUCK: You’re closer to this issue than I would be at this point. But we all know just based on the trends in education in this country that your child, let’s say, in, you know, sixth grade, your sixth grade boy in a lot of jurisdictions is much more likely to hear about the need for preferred pronouns and transgender theory and gender identity theory than they are to be told by a teacher in the public school system, men stay and take care of their kids. They are dads.

CLAY: Yeah. True.

BUCK: You know,a real man who has kids stays and is a dad to them. You know?

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: Or a real man never lays his hand on anger in a woman. They won’t hear that in school. But they will hear, hey, we really need to think about whether you’re actually a girl. This is what the country has turned into right now. This is what we’re facing in some private schools, public schools, and, by the way, even in the red states.

CLAY: Which is why I think for a lot of dads out there listening to us right now, you have to be in charge of teaching your boys how to be men without the benefit of society helping you in any way at all.

BUCK: Entirely on dads.

CLAY: And there’s a lot of absent dads. That’s why it’s happening?

BUCK: You want to talk about a systemic problem, absence of fatherhood in cities and, you know, in cities all across the country, that’s a systemic problem ’cause it has gotten — you look 50 years ago, it basically didn’t exist, in any community, by the way.

CLAY: That’s right.

BUCK: And all of a sudden it’s become so normalized. It’s important. I mean, these are things people should be talking about.
