BUCK: We’re diving deep into the latest on out-of-control crime situation in a lot of American cities, plus updates on a lot of stories including — I would like to know where we are with Waukesha after yesterday the media telling us, the general news consensus was there would be a press conference, Clay. And I remember doing this, doing a hit on CNN years ago, back when CNN used to actually have conservatives on. But I was doing counter-terrorism analysis. And I remember it was the day of — it was Bastille Day in France back in 2016. There was that truck that killed 87 people, right?

And it was clearly a terror attack from the moment it happened. I was on with a bunch, couple of former generals, woke generals, of course, and some academic who was an idiot who didn’t know anything. And one after another, and I mean this is in the immediate hours after this mass casualties — 87 people died, mass casualty attack, and one after another their analysis or some version of, this is what happens when you don’t have good enough assimilation in Europe.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: Essentially a version of, you know, hey, there’s a lot of white supremacy, this is the European context and this is the price you pay. It was horrifying. They came to me finally and I said, I mean, we’ve got to find where these Jihadist lunatics are ASAP, got warheads on foreheads, we’ve got to find their associates and lock them up forever. We are in a war for our civilization. And I remember a couple days later there was two guys, turned out they were a married couple, same-sex couple, they saw me, they came running over and they said, we saw you on CNN. And I was, like, ready for, uh-ho, I didn’t know what they were — we saw you on CNN, sir. And they’re, like, why is everyone else on that panel crazy? That was horrible what they were saying.

Like, you’re the only one who made any sense. And I was, like, they were, like, we’re liberals but that was insane. We were high-fiving and stuff. But this is the narrative creation that the media does in the aftermath of horrible attacks like this. It’s so obvious. How could it be the case, how could it be possible a day later and this guy, Brooks, who is a mass murderer, charged with five counts of homicide, ran his car through this entire parade of people, we’ve heard nothing about the motive? The motive they gave us escaping a knife incident is not credible.

Now, I can’t say what the motive is, but I do know that their story about how this was his escape plan from some other thing that nothing happened, no one even knows what they’re talking about. That is not believable. So how is it that we’re supposed to immediately move on? We know there’s a lot of politics going on. We know there are a lot of people that want to shift the story away from Rittenhouse’s not-guilty verdict and things happening here. Are we just supposed to forget about this? I think they’ll retreat into we may never know motive.

CLAY: You don’t accidentally hit people with a car. Let’s just start there. This is not some situation. When you drive through a parade at 30 or 40 miles an hour and you are accelerating, and clearly if you watch that awful video, attempting to strike innocent people in a parade, it ain’t an accident. And, Buck, I’m sorry, I just don’t buy the idea. First of all, the police have now said there was no hot pursuit. It wasn’t as if there was a police car chasing him and he made a turn. And the next thing you know he’s driving through, mowing down all these people, there’s nobody chasing him.

He already knew, based on the lenient treatment he had gotten from the idiot Milwaukee district attorney, that all he had to do was post a thousand dollar bail for vehicular assault and being involved in a domestic incident. And you’re telling me that he was so terrified of the potential consequences of an alleged knife-related incident that he decided to mow through and hit dozens of people, kill five people, and that wasn’t in some way intentional? I just don’t buy it.

BUCK: I don’t buy it either.

CLAY: And I think it’s a lie we’re being sold.

BUCK: I do have to say, when you line up what is so clear here with the way that they established a narrative that was what the left wanted to hear and believe about Kyle Rittenhouse right away.

CLAY: Oh, yeah.

BUCK: Based on lies.

CLAY: Lies they’re still selling.

BUCK: They’re still lying, they’re still selling this falsehood, these different falsehoods about Kyle Rittenhouse, and now somehow if you want to understand, for everyone listening, the disparity in media megaphones and media power, the game they play is how dare anybody speculate about motives. That’s reckless. How do you say anything about Brooks the mass murderer in Waukesha. You don’t know, you don’t know. Well, okay, I want to know. I’m not going to forget about this. The families are devastated, who lost loved ones in this incident.

CLAY: They’ll never recover.

BUCK: It’s never going to be the same for them. There are people who have horrible injuries from this. There’s some story about a little girl who asked the doctors to piece her back together. She’s in the hospital. Where is the news coverage of this? They had a RNC is funding some of Trump’s legal defense story on CNN while we were doing this show, Clay. I haven’t seen anything on Waukesha. Nothing at all. And I’m sorry, but it’s because they don’t want people thinking about what happened.

They don’t want people coming to the obvious conclusion, at a minimum, the recklessness, stupidity and ideological insanity of a left-wing prosecutor like this guy Chisholm, who we know is a bad dude because of what he did to Scott Walker 10 years ago. The Wall Street Journal was writing pieces — they did great work on this — about the John Doe raids. If anyone doesn’t know about the John Doe raids and Scott Walker, please go back, it was Soviet style. It was kicking in someone’s front door at 5.00 a.m. for someone who did nothing wrong and taking all their electronics, all their equipment and saying, you tell anybody about this, we’ll throw you in prison for breaking a court order. That’s what they were doing to people.

That same DA let’s this guy out, so there’s obvious recklessness there. But, Clay, the motivation this guy has BLM, I hate white people, antisemitic stuff all over his social media, and we’re supposed to assume that that is not to be discussed here? That’s reckless to talk about? Why? The same people who made up that Kyle Rittenhouse was in a militia and white supremacist are telling you don’t pay any attention to this career criminal, huge backstory of hating Trump supporters and having an anti-white animus.

CLAY: It’s another example of a story that gets memory holed. That’s what’s going on here, Buck. This story is going to get memory holed. They hope people will forget it. They’re going to say, I think you’re right; we don’t really know why he made this decision; it was a deranged lunatic deciding to kill people, which, by the way, I think is true.

But still his motivation matters. You know that if this exact same story had happened and this had been a parade celebrating, let’s say, a majority Black institution, if it was homecoming, it would be immediately a race-based crime. As soon as you flip it, nobody will even discuss it. It is an example of how broken our national discourse is.
