He begins by saying, “they push for these physique cameras.”

Who're ‘they’? Or, to cite a Kanye West interview, “who's ‘they,’ although?”

What do you imply they have been pushing for physique cameras? The individuals who pushed for physique cameras have been the Democrats. It was solely the Democrats who stated we wanted them.

Initially, some Republicans have been okay with it. However within the wake of the taking pictures of Michael Brown, issues modified. Now, the Michael Brown taking pictures was utterly justified. The so-called “light large” Michael Brown, this younger man who simply robbed a retailer after which grabbed a cop’s gun and really discharged it within the automotive, in keeping with grand juries and eyewitnesses, after which walked away solely to show round and cost on the cop — solely then did the cop shoot him.

The Democrats instantly made up, out of complete fabric, a narrative about how Michael Brown was a candy little boy who put his arms up and stated “arms up, don’t shoot,” and the cop simply executed him just like the Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. Only a full fictional narrative. That’s when the Dems stated, “We'd like physique cameras on cops.”

And a few Republicans disagreed, however the intelligent Republicans stated, “Okay, okay, nice.” Why? As a result of it was a take a look at. A take a look at of actuality. The Democrats who known as themselves the sensible Democrats didn't name for physique cameras. The actually intelligent ones didn't need physique cameras as a result of physique cameras have been all the time going to indicate you the fact of criminals and regulation enforcement. And the fact of criminals and regulation enforcement doesn’t look good for the criminals, and it does look good for regulation enforcement.

If you happen to don’t bear in mind, it is a clip from CNN. Barack Obama, proper out of the horse’s mouth:

So the honest liberals actually believed that extra transparency would assist their argument as a result of it could present individuals the fact of the scenario. They believed the fact of the scenario was going to buttress their facet of the argument, not the conservative facet.

Thoughts you, that is the occasion that thinks boys might be ladies.

Thoughts you, that is the occasion that thinks infants aren’t actually infants.

They thought that actuality was going to again them up. After which what occurred? They put the physique cameras on, and it seems the criminals are simply terrible. And 999,999 occasions out of one million, the criminals who get beat up or shot whereas they’re being arrested are getting precisely what they deserve, and the cops often are those exhibiting restraint.

WATCH: The Michael Knowles Present The libs thought transparency would assist them. It really harm them. This is identical with each single difficulty.

The libs wish to make a giant present out of LGBT. We'd like extra inclusion. We'd like extra transparency. We'd like extra visibility for transgenderism and LGBT.

After which you recognize what occurs? We see the visibility of what transgenderism means.

It means lopping the breasts off little ladies. It means castrating little boys. The fact of it's anxiousness, despair, suicidality, sterility, and early loss of life. That’s the fact of LGBT-ism. The fact of LGBT-ism is social discord and little one abuse. That’s the fact of it.

So that you need extra visibility? Be my visitor.

We’ve had quite a lot of visibility. There isn't any query. Let’s return to “ Will & Grace, ” again in 1999. “ Will & Grace” all the best way up via Gavin Newsom saying, “I wish to see extra trans youngsters,” like a freak.

We’ve had quite a lot of visibility. What occurred in that point? First, there was a rise in assist for LGBT till only a few years in the past, after which, when that visibility actually broke via, there was an enormous lower on each entrance — definitely transgender youngsters, transgender usually, same-sex marriage — the checklist goes on and on. The visibility didn't assist them.

Identical factor on abortion. You need visibility on abortion? Take a look at the little child. Take a look at what the infant actually seems like within the womb. For this reason pro-abortion advocates don’t need the fact of abortion ever to be seen. They don’t wish to use actual phrases like child and even fetus. They wish to say “clump of cells” or no matter, as a result of the visibility, the transparency, hurts them. As a result of actuality is just not on their facet.

What about immigration? The fact of immigration is that the people who find themselves coming to this nation … usually, not probably the most supreme individuals. The Left talks about it, although, like they’re all dreamy, great future engineers and docs who wish to salute the flag and shoot off fireworks on the Fourth of July. The fact is extra like face-tattooed rapists, human traffickers, and drug sellers.
