>> Greg: IT'S THE OLD TWO
STEP, THE ACTIVIST MEDIA WITH
THE STORY ABOUT A RACIST ACT AND
WHEN THE STORY FALLS APART, THE
MEDIA SLINKS AWAY.
FINALLY, THE PUBLIC IS CATCHING
ON.
JUSSIE SMOLLETT, COVINGTON,
KAVANAUGH.
NOW THE OBERLIN CASE.
THE JURY NAILED OBERLIN COLLEGE
AND THE DEAN WITH AN $11 MILLION
PENALTY FOR SIDING WITH THREE
BLACK STUDENTS WHO CLAIMED THEY
WERE RACIALLY PROFILED AT A
BAKERY IN 2016.
THE CASE GOT A LOT OF PRESS.
THERE WERE MASSIVE PROTESTS THAT
TARGETED THE BAKERY.
NOT JUST BY STUDENTS EITHER.
THE DEAN ACTUALLY DISTRIBUTED A
FLYER CLAIMING THE BAKERY HAD A
HISTORY OF RACISM AND ENCOURAGED
A BOYCOTT.
THE BAKERY WENT THROUGH HELL FOR
OBVIOUS REASONS.
TRUTH GOT OUT.
THE STUDENTS PLEADED GUILTY TO
ATTEMPTED THEFT, ADMITTING THEY
WEREN'T PROFILED AT ALL.
HERE'S A PHOTO OF THE FAMILY WHO
OWNS THE BAKERY.
YOU CAN SEE THE RACIAL HATE IN
THEIR EYES.
ONCE AGAIN, WITH THE MEDIA FIRST
PROMOTED TURNOUT FALLS.
AND WE SHOULD BE GLAD THAT AGAIN
THE DEMAND FOR RACIST STORIES
EXCEEDS THE SUPPLY.
AMERICA IS BETTER THAN THE MEDIA
THINKS WHICH IS WHY DO MOST
PEOPLE MEDIA MEANS NOTHING.
I DOUBT SUCH HOAXES WILL STOP
UNTIL THE MEDIA AND ACADEMIA
ADMIT THEIR ROLES WHICH WON'T BE
SOON.
OBERLIN BLASTED THE VERDICT.
BUT OTHER SCHOOLS MUST BE
QUAKING COME AS OBERLIN NEW
LEARNED THE HARD TRUTH.
DON'T BELIEVE IN THE VIGILANTE
MEDIA WITHOUT EVIDENCE JUST
BECAUSE THE ACCUSATION THINKS
YOUR IDEOLOGY --
THAT EDUCATION COST MILLIONS.
UNLIKE THEIR OVERPRICED
DIPLOMAS, IT'S WORTH EVERY PENN
PENNY.
KATIE, I GUESS THOSE --
11 MILLION IS THE MINIMUM.
THERE COULD BE MORE PUNITIVE
DAMAGES.
IT COULD GO UP THREE TIMES THAT.
>> Katie: INTERESTING TO SEE
HOW THEY WON THIS LAWSUIT.
THIS GOES TO THE BIGGER PICTURE
ABOUT GRIEVANCE CULTURE.
WHEN GRIEVANCE CULTURE IS
REWARDED, THEN FALSE VICTIMHOOD
BECOMES AN EXCUSE FOR BAD
BEHAVIOR AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND WHEN THE MEDIA BLASTS SET
OUT LIKE IT'S TRUE WITHOUT
ASKING QUESTIONS, INTERVIEWING
THE BAKERY, TELLING BOTH SIDES
OF THE STORY, THE AMPLIFY THE
GRIEVANCE CULTURE AND USING IT
AS AN EXCUSE FOR BAD BEHAVIOR.
AND THEN THEY GET RID OF IT WHEN
IT'S NO LONGER CONVENIENT OR IT
TURNS OUT NOT TO FIT THEIR
NARRATIVE, RIGHT?
IT CONTINUES.
THAT'S WHY WE REPEATEDLY SEE
THESE GROUPS BY THE MEDIA AND
REPEATEDLY SEE THIS KIND OF
BEHAVIOR ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES OR
IN GENERAL EVERYDAY LIFE.
AND SO UNTIL THAT STOPS, UNTIL
YOU CAN'T USE GRIEVANCE CULTURE
AS AN EXCUSE FOR THAT KIND OF
BEHAVIOR, THEN IT'S GOING TO
CONTINUE.
>> Greg: JUAN, THERE'S ALWAYS
THE THING WITH IS A AND THEN THE
PHENOMENON GOES UNCHECKED UNTIL
IT'S CHECKED.
MAYBE THIS JUST IS SOMETHING IN
OUR SOCIETY THAT IS PUTTING THE
BRAKES ON SOMETHING THAT MIGHT
NEED BRAKES, MEANING LIKE THESE
ACCUSATIONS.
WHETHER IT'S HAS TO DO WITH RACE
OR SEXUAL ASSAULT.
ONE OF THOSE GUYS, --
IT CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON
ACCUSATIONS.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> Juan: THERE'S A LOT OF
TRUTH IN WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
BECAUSE IT SEEMS FIRST REPORTS
ARE OFTEN WRONG.
ESPECIALLY IN THE AGE WE LIVE
IN, THE 24/7 NEWS CYCLE, THE
NEWS MEDIA IS HUNGRY TO GET
FIRST TRACK ON THE STORY.
OF COURSE THEY TAKE THE EASY
TRACK EVERY TIME.
MY CAUTION TO YOU, GREG, WOULD
BE DOES THIS APPLY TO
CONSERVATIVES?
AS I RECALL, THINGS LIKE
CENTRAL PARK FIVE, REMEMBER
TRUMP RAN A WHOLE FULL-PAGE AD
IN "THE NEW YORK TIMES."
OR HOW ABOUT THE MAGA ATTACK IN
FLORIDA, THE TRUCK AND THE
CONSERVATIVE SAID IT'S A FALSE
FLAG, CAN'T BE TRUE.
>> Katie: I DON'T THINK THE
CONSERVATIVE SAID THAT.
>> Juan: THEY DID.
I WAS AMAZED HOW QUICKLY BEFORE
TAKING KNEE-JERK RESPONSES.
>> Greg: NOT IN THE MEDIA.
THERE WEREN'T CONSERVATIVE
COMMENTATORS DEFENDING THAT GUY.
>> Juan: NO, NO, NO THEY WERE
THING WE DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD
SAY.
WE DON'T KNOW.
>> Greg: I AM THE KING OF
SAYING WE DON'T KNOW.
I THINK I PATENTED.
>> Juan: I DON'T THINK IT'S
LEFT OR RIGHT.
I THINK IT'S ALL OVER.
YESTERDAY THE HELICOPTER CRASH.
IMMEDIATELY MY GOD, THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT
IMMEDIATELY OH, TERRORISM.
THEY DON'T KNOW.
>> Jesse: I SAY I DON'T KNOW
BECAUSE SOMETIMES I LITERALLY
JUST DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.
I THINK WHAT HAPPENS IS NOW YOU
HAVE A FAKE ALLEGATION THAT CAN
BE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE TRUTH.
THE MEDIA WILL SENSATIONALIZE IN
THE CHARGE AND WHEN THIS
RESOLUTION, THEY IGNORE IT.
MANY LIBERALS IN THIS COUNTRY, I
THINK JUAN WOULD EVEN AGREE,
BELIEVE THAT AMERICA IS RACIST
IN THAT WHITE PEOPLE
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST BLACK
PEOPLE.
WHENEVER A RACE CARD IS PLAYED,
THE MEDIA AND THE LEFT WILL
AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME THE WORST
OUT OF THE SITUATION AND THEN
THE PRESS WILL PROPEL THE
NARRATIVE.
BUT NOTHING IS WORSE THAN A FAKE
CHARGE OF RACISM.
IT CAN HAVE SUCH EXTREME
REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE SOMEBODY
THAT NOW YOU'RE CHANGING YOUR
BEHAVIOR BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID
OF EVERYTHING.
POLICE DEPARTMENTS.
THEY ARE PULLING BACK FROM
CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" RAN AN
OP-ED THE OTHER DAY.
WAS I RIGHT TO CALL THE COPS ON
A BLACK MAN BREAKING INTO A CAR?
IT'S GOTTEN CRAZY.
NOW, SAME THING WITH THE ME TOO
MOVEMENT.
THEY CAME OUT WITH A POLL, 60%
OF MALE MANAGERS ARE TOO NERVOUS
TO MENTOR WOMEN, TO GO TO
WORKPLACE ACTIVITIES WITH WOMEN,
DID BE ALONE IN THEIR OFFICE
WITH A WOMAN.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
IT IS MOB RULE.
YOU HAVE DESTROYED DUE PROCESS.
THE PROBLEM MOVES, THE MEDIA
DIVIDES FOR PROFIT INSTEAD OF
LOOKING AT THE TRUTH.
>> Greg: DANA, THOUGHTS.
>> Dana: I WOULD SAY THIS CASE
AND THE WEIGHTS ENDED UP PROVES
YOU CAN FIGHT BACK AND WIN.
AND NOW THERE IS CASE LAW.
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T
HAPPEN BEFORE.
I ACTUALLY HAVE A FLOOR.
IT'S NOT JUST HE SAID-SHE SAID.
IT'S A FAMILY RUN BUSINESS.
THEY WERE VERY TIGHT IN THE
COMMUNITY.
THE FACT OF THE UNIVERSITY WAS
LIKE OKAY, WELL, WE HAD TO DO
THIS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE THE
POLITICALLY CORRECT THING TO DO.
NOW THEY HAVE TO PAY
$11.2 MILLION, POSSIBLY MORE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
TIME TO INCREASE TUITION.
THEY WON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
MOM AND DAD WILL PAY FOR IT.
>> Juan: I DON'T KNOW THAT IT
WAS POLITICALLY CORRECT.
