NATIONAL GUARD ON ALERT.
>> Harris: THEY CAN’T SEEM TO
SAY THE WORD RIOT.
THE MAJOR NETWORKS AND SOME
CABLE OUTLETS BEING CALLED OUT
FOR REFUSING TO USE THE TERM
RIOTS TO DESCRIBE THE VIOLENCE
AND LOOTING THAT IS ROCKING A
MINNEAPOLIS SUBURB FOR NIGHTS
FOLLOWING THE POLICE SHOOTING
AND DEATH OF A BLACK MAN THERE.
AT BEST USING TERMS LIKE
VIOLENT PROTESTS OR PROTESTS
TURNED VIOLENT TO DESCRIBE THE
CHAOS.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN LANCE
GOOD-IN TWEETS DEAR CNN IT
WASN’T A PROTEST, IT WAS A RIOT.
GET THE STORY RIGHT OR GET OUT
OF THE NEWS BUSINESS.
JOE CONCHA.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
>> I DON’T KNOW, MAYBE WE HAVE
TO COME TO A COMPROMISE HERE,
HARRIS.
MAYBE WE COULD CALL THEM MOSTLY
PEACEFUL RIOTS.
WOULD THAT WORK?
I REMEMBER THE SUMMER OF 2020
WHEN THERE WERE MOSTLY PEACEFUL
PROTESTS GOING ON IN PLACES
LIKE MINNEAPOLIS, PORTS LAND,
ATLANTA OR SEATTLE AND BEHIND
THE REPORT ARE YOU WOULD SEE A
BURNING INFERNO OF A BUILDING
LOOKED LIKE A ENDING SCENE IN
DIEHARD AND THEY INSIST THESE
ARE MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS
EVEN THOUGH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN DAMAGE.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
OBVIOUSLY IT IS THE P.C. WAY TO
DESCRIBE WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A
RIOT.
WHEN THERE ARE DOZENS OF
ARRESTS MADE ON A NIGHTLY BASIS.
DOZENS OF BUSINESSES ARE LOOTED
AND DAMAGED.
WHEN THE NATIONAL GUARD IS
CALLED IN I BELIEVE YOU COULD
START TO CALL THAT A RIOT,
HARRIS.
>> Harris: THE POLICE HAVE A
REASON FOR DECLARING THAT AS A
RIOT BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THEM TO
USE OTHER ASSETS AND
MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUES AGAINST
THAT CROWD THAT IS MOVING OUT
OF CONTROL.
IT IS NOT AN ADD JEKTTIVE OUT
OF FEELING IT IS SOMETHING THAT
IS BROUGHT ON BY THE FACTS.
>> A TECHNICAL TERM, RIGHT?
YOU SEE A POLICE CHIEF IN
MINNEAPOLIS SAY THE WORD RIOT
AND THEN REPORTERS OR ACTIVISTS
ARE BOTH IN THE ROOM SAYING YOU
CAN’T USE THE WORD.
HE WILL USE WHATEVER HE WANTS
TO USE.
HE IS ON THE GROUND THAT HAS TO
DEAL WITH IT AND HAS BEEN
DEALING WITH IT FOR ALMOST A
YEAR NOW.
IMAGINE ON A NIGHTLY BASIS YOU
ARE A POLICE OFFICER FOR THE
COMMUNITY AND THIS IS WHAT YOU
ARE FORCED TO DEAL WITH ON A
NIGHTLY BASIS AND YOU CAN’T
CALL A RIOT A RIOT ANYMORE.
>> Harris: THAT’S NOT WHAT HE
SAID AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE
RESIGNING.
CRITICS GOING AFTER THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS FOR TELLING
ITS JOURNALISTS TO USE A MORE
POLITICALLY CORRECT TERM WHEN
IT COMES TO THE WORD MISTRESS.
THE OUTLET TWEETED DON’T USE
THE TERM MISTRESS FOR A WOMAN
IN A LONG TERM SEXUAL
RELATIONSHIP AND IS FINANCIALLY
SUPPORTED BY A MAN MARRIED TO
SOMEONE ELSE.
USE AN ALTERNATIVE LIKE
COMPANION, FRIEND OR LOVER AND
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETEALS
LATER.
SOME RESPONSES IF YOU WANT A
GENDER NEUTRAL TERM FOR THIS RELATIONSHIP YOU SHOULD BITE
RELATIONSHIP YOU SHOULD BITE
THE BULLET AND EMOTION BRACE
SIDE PIECE.
ALWAYS OPT FOR THE TRADITIONAL
HOME WRECKER.
OH MY GOODNESS, JOE CONCHA.
>> DISCLAIMER.
MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS A FAN OF
YOUR SHOW.
I’M ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE TERM
MISTRESS.
NONE OF THAT GOING ON HERE.
VERY HAPPY WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.
BUT ALSO MAYBE WE HAVE TO
COMPROMISE HERE AGAIN, TOO.
MAYBE WE CALL IN THIS CASE A
MISTRESS A MARRIED MAN’S
CO-CONSPIRATOR IS ONE WAY TO GO.
THEY HAVE AN ITALIAN FRIEND OR
TWO.
I DON’T AGREE WITH THIS AT ALL.
THEY GO WITH GUMA IN NEW JERSEY.
YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF THE A.P.
STYLE BOOKS MISTRESS MAY HAVE
WROTE THAT JUST TO KIND OF
COVER UP HERE.
AGAIN, WHO USES LOVER ANYMORE?
MY LOVER AND I GOT OFF TO VEGAS
FOR A WEEKEND.
>> Harris: WHAT ABOUT PARAMOUR.
DIDN’T WE USE THAT WORD?
THAT WAS ANOTHER ONE.
TREY GOWDY USES THAT.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
SEDUCER, FORNICATOR, CALL IT A
MISTRESS THAT WANDERED INTO A
RIOT.
HOW DOES THAT SOUND?
CAN WE USE BOTH IN ONE
SENTENCE, WOULD THAT WORK?
>> Harris: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RESPONDED AND HERE IS THE QUOTE.
WE UNDERSTAND IT’S PROBLEMATIC
THE ALTERNATIVE TERMS FALL
SHORT BUT WE FELT THAT WAS
BETTER THAN HAVING ONE WORD FOR
A WOMAN AND NONE FOR THE MAN.
WE HAVE WORDS FOR THE MAN.
WE DO.
CHEATER, THERE ARE WORDS.
>> HIMBO.
MISTRESS HAS BEEN CANCELED, GO
FIGURE.
WHO THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE
CANCELED.
EVEN THAT HAS FALLEN --
>> Harris: THEY COULD NOT BREAK
ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND
JUST BE FAITHFUL TO THEIR
MARRIAGE.
>> LIKE YOU AND I ARE, THAT’S
