>> So during planned protests in DC over the weekend, President Trump's supporters quickly
shifted from their objective of complaining about his election loss, to attacking counter
protesters and scribbling obscenities on their butts. And you may not see that part,
but they did do it. Let's go straight into the graphics about what happened this weekend.
Authorities in Washington, DC said that on Sunday,
they had arrested a man in connection with the stabbing of four people on Saturday night,
as supporters and opponents of President Trump clashed blocks from the White House. They
continued the four were stabbed outside a bar at 11th and F Streets Northwest around 9 on Saturday.
The police said a Washington resident, Philip Johnson, who's 29 years old, was arrested and
charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, said the police spokesperson. They said he used
a knife. Lastly, the confrontation occurred after dozens of supporters of Mr. Trump, many
of whom appear to be members of the Proud Boys, gathered on the street outside of Harry's Bar.
Some of the Trump supporters shouted and pointed at a black man in dark clothes,
who was alone and standing against a wall. This is according to a journalist who witnessed the
confrontation. So, the video of this was posted of the man standing there. And
we're running this only because there was constant obscenities being thrown at him.
Get out of here, what are you doing here? So at this point, there's the guy, they're
trying to snatch his mask off his head. Before this, for a quick second, you can see him show
the knife he had in his hand. And then after the snatching happened, the confrontation went down.
He was knocked down a few times, kicked, punched,
was able to get back up. Then they chased him down again, as all this is happening.
Again screaming more obscenities, eff Antifa, all these normal things that they would be saying.
And eventually as you'll see as this comes to a climax as they're crowding over him.
A police officer jumps in, there he is in front of your screen,
trying to break up what's going on. Insinuates that he's gonna spray someone with pepper spray,
but I don't think it really went. And then the fight continues and eventually he breaks it up.
The suspect, Mr. Johnson, was bruised, battered, bloodied.
And they did arrest him and they're not sure what happened after that, if he's posted bail
or if he has an attorney or any of that. But they did say four people in that instance were stabbed
in that altercation. And then the flames and fury just exploded from there.
So this is what we're getting in the middle of DC streets. While again,
I'm not sure what President Trump has been saying
regarding this, or if he's proud of the Proud Boys. Or if he's proud of this fight
that's happened. Or even of some of these other members that have decided to show up with knives.
And then we're in the middle of a fight in the middle the street. This is what we've devolved to.
Because we can't just have a simple election where we see things happen
and then we accept the results >> Yeah so this story is a
couple of different components.
First of all, don't bring any weapons to any protests, don't do it. If you're right wing,
don't do it, if you're left wing. And I think that having the knife there made it worse. Now
having said that, this is the clearest case of self defense that has ever been presented.
And I'm sure that people who gave $2 million to get Kyle Rittenhouse out on bail are busily
giving the same amount of money to Mr. Johnson. And they're saying well, that's clearly self
defense. Look, they're hitting him, pulling on him, pushing him, etc. And then they got him down.
I mean if you were in the middle of that crowd and they're kicking and punching you like that,
wouldn't you be afraid for your life? If you're a right winger and you had a gun you'd shoot every
single one of them and you know it. There's not a single person who would argue with that.
You know that right? You know that you would shoot them. Now in his case he had a knife, so he
defended himself with his knife. I don't think he should have brought it, I don't think it helped.
But every report is clear, first they push them. Then he pulled out the knife to defend himself.
And then you saw what they were doing. By the ways cops,
you're right there. We saw you at the end of the tape. And they're all politely asking,
the guys getting stomped on and has a knife. Everybody's in danger, right, get in there
quicker. This is the one time we would like you to get in there quicker, before they have the guy.
What if they had stomped his skull, right? And he dies there, right there on the spot? You're gonna
let them mob them and try to lynch him first? No, okay. And so, for folks who said Rittenhouse
was self defense. When Rittenhouse brought out a much more serious weapon and started the fight,
shot and killed people before anyone tried to take his weapon away.
In this case, there's no question the Proud Boys start the fight.
And then they gang up on him and he's in clear mortal danger at that point. If you
don't think this is self defense, you're a liar. >> Yeah, as this continued on throughout the
week, and there was police officers were injured throughout the protest.
There was a both Proud Boys and folks from opposing sides that were angry at
the police at different moments. So the police found themselves circling
this whole area for the weekend, or for the evening, trying to break up fights, not break
up fights. Politely kind of nudge to not break up that fight, worried about their own safety.
Some of them got assaulted as well. So again, where's the
thin blue line folks? Those flags must've been out there at the time. So when the
thin blue line comes in and says, hey, chill out with the violence, then you attack them.
Where's the logic in that? Again, it has nothing to do with anything that they say they believe in.
There's no principles. There's no real objective to the things that
are putting people on different, moral high grounds. In reality,
what they're out there to do is start trouble. Now again, it's not one sided.
There's lots of folks out there to start trouble. You know why? Cuz we're in the
middle of this whole clash of people that we're deciding, hey I'm living in this fantasy land.
And until you let me take over with my fanatical reasons for why Trump should stay in office,
you should be afraid of me. There's a certain percentage of Americans that'd go,
no, not today. And I think that's a bad decision, but we're all Americans. We've
been teaching our kids since they were born, hey, you're the best person in the world.
You deserve to walk around with your gun and shoot someone who disagrees with you or attack them if
you're angry. We're angry people right now and you think that the these folks that come out here in
shields, bulletproof vests, lighter fluid. Do you think they came out there to peacefully protest?
No, people from both sides did not come out there to peacefully protest, some did.
But when you get these clashes and someone's sitting there face to face,
this is where we stand now. And you can't be surprised that someone is gonna come out
there and try to actually engage in these fights that keep getting talked about.
And people are antsy and itching from their pants to do so. The fights are
gonna happen. Somewhere in some kind of higher leadership needs to talk these folks and try
and bring them down because what else is going to? >> Okay, so let me give you guys a juxtaposition,
cuz JR reminded me of it.
So here, I watched the whole tape. The cops are incredibly polite to the Proud Boys
as they're in the middle of beating someone potentially to death. And they hear there's
a knife, they clearly hear it, but they don't know who has the knife at that point. So for
all they know it's the guys that are beating him down and shiving him right there on the spot.
And they're like, guys, could you please move? Could you please move? Jacob Blake
was going to his car with his three kids in it and they thought the car might have a knife. A
cop shot him in the back seven times. Now you got white fascists that are beating down a black guy,
and all of a sudden the cops are super polite.
They're the politest I've ever seen them. You're about to kill someone. Could you please move,
I might or might not use my pepper spray, only a little bit. I don't want to offend right wing
fascists. If you were black, I'd shoot all of you in the back. So, that didn't happen.
It already happened. This is not a hypothetical. So do not let these fascists run in the streets.
You want to protest, great. You want to do violence? They should all be arrested.
