2 00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:04,240 Hello everyone. 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,920 My name is Alex Hopper and I will welcome you to my new show, Across the Circus, where 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,200 I have done this show on a previous podcast. 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,720 I'm now doing it as a standalone and I'm so excited to have you all here with me. 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,040 Every time we come on this show I'm going to try to give you a perspective on a situation 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,400 in our country and what I think of it and what I think the solution is and honestly 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,060 maybe sometimes just how angry I am about it. 9 00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:34,200 But you're going to hear my raw emotions here and I think that we will be able to connect 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,120 through that closeness that I'm going to give. 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,120 Now if I don't sound joyful this episode you'll have to forgive me. 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,640 I am angry. 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:50,040 I am so angry because throughout this entire country we have a gigantic epidemic that has 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:57,360 gone completely unchecked, that has gone wild, and as much media attention as it gets there 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,720 has been no change for the better if only changes for the worse because both sides are 16 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,800 fighting on the wrong side of it. 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,520 Where one side is saying we need more and one side is saying we do less, one side says 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,620 it's all evil, one side says they can do no wrong, and both sides have constantly contributed 19 00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:17,960 to this problem. 20 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:21,180 And I'm of course speaking about police. 21 00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:28,440 In this country both sides of the aisle love to make noise about police but it is just 22 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:37,120 that it is just noise and all the while the actions by both sides have enabled both criminals 23 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:44,260 and criminal police to get overactive and destroy local communities and it is shameful 24 00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:45,400 to watch. 25 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,880 From the stores across this country that are having to shut down in major cities because 26 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,660 these cities have completely defunded their police force and the local communities have 27 00:01:54,660 --> 00:02:00,080 completely shut down any connection with the police to where now simple businesses cannot 28 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:08,040 run because there is not a rule of law, to rabid and I mean rabid R-A-B-I-D, foam at 29 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:14,320 the mouth, sheriff's offices are showing up to people's houses and situations killing 30 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,620 them with absolutely no form of de-escalation and then whenever people try to speak out 31 00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:25,280 against it the people on the right have the gall to call them liberals, commies and all 32 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,560 sorts of other slurs, they are just idiotic because you know the police can do no wrong. 33 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,760 And so that's what we are going to look at in this episode. 34 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,060 We are going to look at both sides, idiotic actions and complete mishandling of the police 35 00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:45,320 force and the effects it has had on this country and the shameful ramifications that we all 36 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,080 have to live every day from it. 37 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,080 Welcome to the show. 38 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,160 Now I am going to be 100% honest with you because I always will be on this show. 39 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,800 I am going to do my best to be transparent. 40 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,160 I lean to the right just because how I was raised, my beliefs that I have and the way 41 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,560 I would like to see this country run, I lean to the right. 42 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,560 But in fairness to that I am going to address the right first and their complete idiotic 43 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,600 mishandling of all this police stuff that has led to people's deaths, sheriffs getting 44 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:23,180 away with corruption and absolutely no action being taken against federal and local evil 45 00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:29,000 institutions that have just completely destroyed people's lives all the while they sing their 46 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,600 praises like they are gods among men. 47 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,060 The first story we are going to talk about is the one that has my blood absolutely boiling 48 00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:39,360 out of my veins. 49 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,520 It is such a disgusting story. 50 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:48,560 The York County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina responded to a call of a suicidal 51 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,920 man in his car with a shotgun pointed at himself with his mother standing next to him and wanting 52 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,240 to talk him out of it. 53 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,040 Now listeners you have to know I have spent so many years in suicide prevention and have 54 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,680 lost a lot of friends to it. 55 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,080 I have been an active part of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and I even 56 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:13,120 started the first high school level organization for students to work with the AFSP in the 57 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,880 country. 58 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,640 Suicide is very important to me and I have also been to a lot of classes where I have 59 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:25,120 sat shoulder to shoulder with law enforcement because they were wanting to get the education 60 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,760 to handle with these ditch situations so that they could help people, not these people. 61 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:36,640 The York County Sheriff's Office arrive, immediately pull their vehicles as close to the man as 62 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,600 they can, all of them empty themselves out of their cars and immediately empty their 63 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,920 weapons into him. 64 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:51,600 He was shot at over 50 times with him being struck 8 times, one of which in the back of 65 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,940 the head. 66 00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:56,360 No form of de-escalation, no form of mental health awareness. 67 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,040 Which by the way you can go right now and watch the video on NBC, on YouTube, you can 68 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,200 see it anywhere. 69 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,640 Whenever they began opening fire, the mother was standing less than half a foot from where 70 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,840 they were firing. 71 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:14,600 Which if you know anything about firearms, a bad grouping could have killed her very 72 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,600 easily. 73 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,960 Where a competent police force would have de-escalated, would have negotiated, would 74 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,000 have made attempts to help with mental health. 75 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,360 These morons decided to have a flagrant gun attack on this man when the only person he 76 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,960 was threatening to hurt was himself. 77 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,880 If you want an emotional scene, just look up on YouTube about a police officer stopping 78 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:48,960 a fellow veteran from suicide and see the absolute skills in de-escalation, in negotiation 79 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,360 and helping someone through a mental health crisis. 80 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,560 It is no excuse that they should feel like they need to empty a weapon into someone like 81 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,560 that. 82 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,720 And then we come to the problem on the right. 83 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,600 Whenever this story surfaces, the right and a bunch of idiots start singing the policeman's 84 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,680 praises, start saying how they did the right thing, how there was a scumbag that was dealt 85 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,680 with. 86 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,600 Which by the way, I forgot to mention, that man did survive by the grace of God. 87 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,800 If I was shot 8 times, one of which in the back of the head I would be dead. 88 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,280 But luckily he has filed a lawsuit. 89 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,680 But whenever he filed this lawsuit, many people on the right started coming forward blaming 90 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,440 him for what happened, saying he deserved it. 91 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:38,360 And whenever I made comments on their Facebook page trying to get accountability, trying 92 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:45,800 to bring attention to this, all these people started calling me a commie, a lefty, a California 93 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,800 dweller, and all sorts of horrible names and idiotic phrases just because they're a bunch 94 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,640 of 40 and 50 year old morons who have become so blindly supporting of police officers that 95 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,440 they're willing to support slaughter out of nowhere. 96 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,880 They're willing to support improfessional handling of suicidal situations. 97 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,320 They're willing to support police just being able to solve every problem with opening fire 98 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,400 and escalating situations immediately. 99 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,280 And that is just the first instance of stuff like this. 100 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,360 Another example of what these people are willing to support, just in the name of supporting 101 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,600 police officers, is no knock raids. 102 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,800 For those of you who don't know what a no knock raid is, it's a special kind of warrant 103 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,880 that allows police officers to enter your home without any form of announcement, without 104 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,800 any form of saying police police, or anything that could let you know that is not a home 105 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,800 intruder. 106 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,520 A sad example of this is Donovan Lewis, a man from Columbus, Ohio who was sleeping in 107 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:58,680 his bed whenever police invaded on a no knock warrant and shot him unarmed in his bed. 108 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,480 It was determined that these police would not be charged and no policy change has been 109 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,560 made and the riot still sits by and it's just okay with these sorts of things. 110 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,000 And beyond that with federal agencies, you see constant treading on people's rights whenever 111 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000 the ATF just decides in a day to change policy. 112 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,560 A company that produced force reset triggers after being told by the ATF that what they 113 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,640 were doing was okay and would not have any sort of ramifications for production was then 114 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:35,160 raided after the ATF had changed its mind without providing any warning to the manufacturer. 115 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,900 In the ATF itself, this episode cannot be long enough to list all of their failings 116 00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:43,400 and all of their treading on people's rights. 117 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,760 If you want to see that, just Google some stuff. 118 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,040 Ruby Ridge is a great place to start. 119 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,340 But all the while the riot totes the thin blue line saying that all these things are 120 00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:57,960 all right while still claiming to be the party of small government, of more rights, and having 121 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,680 these rights be undefiled by any government. 122 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,800 Where these people fail to see the irony and fail to see the hypocrisy, they are doing 123 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,120 themselves and their communities an injustice and allowing themselves to be treaded on, 124 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,740 killed, have their rights violated without any sort of offense being committed. 125 00:09:15,740 --> 00:09:17,040 Something involves police. 126 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,360 They will sing the policeman's praises and that is going to be the death of the right 127 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,640 is supporting authoritarian regimes just because they are law enforcement without any set 128 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:35,200 of morals, without any form of filtering, just pure and dedicated loyalty with no form 129 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,200 of accountability. 130 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:41,200 And next, we are going to talk about the problem on the left in their democratic cities. 131 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Now for those of you who enjoyed that last rant, I expect you to be fair and listen to 132 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,040 this one. 133 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,080 And those of you who didn't like the first one, don't worry, this one is going to get 134 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,160 some equal treatment. 135 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,080 Unfortunately in democrat run cities, police forces have been dwindling for a long time 136 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,600 due to lack of support, ending funding and the demonizing of them in the media, especially 137 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,880 in these cities. 138 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,680 Where there are normal cops trying to do their job to keep a rule of law so that businesses 139 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,200 are able to operate, so that people are able to live safely and peace. 140 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,480 They are being attacked on the streets by civilians, attacked in the government buildings 141 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,440 by politicians who just want to win votes with those who want them gone and are completely 142 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,040 prevented from doing their jobs. 143 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,940 As a result of this, many crimes that were felonies are now misdemeanors in these cities 144 00:10:28,940 --> 00:10:33,600 simply because they do not have the police force to deal with all this crime that is 145 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,600 going on. 146 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,200 You see these videos of people filling their personal bags with things in stores and leaving 147 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,140 without paying because it is now a misdemeanor in these places to steal anything under a 148 00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:50,100 thousand dollars so these businesses are not able to stay afloat. 149 00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:55,540 So in cities like San Francisco and Chicago you see stores like Walmart and Target pulling 150 00:10:55,540 --> 00:11:00,000 out completely because the amount of money they are losing to theft is way above what 151 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,880 their margin of profit is for a year and due to the complete loss of rule of law they are 152 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,080 no longer able to conduct business in these areas. 153 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:15,440 And it is even more unfair to locals in these areas, both to local business owners who cannot 154 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,280 afford to shut down their business and move somewhere else and don't have a bed of money 155 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,200 just to be able to move to another city. 156 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,900 It's also unfair to the residents of these areas because now due to other people completely 157 00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:32,760 stealing they are no longer going to be able to afford their groceries due to the inflation 158 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,760 of the places that will still be open just trying to get by on the amount of money they 159 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,280 are losing to theft. 160 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,320 Not to just simply mention that they are losing more convenient places to shop like Walmart 161 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,020 and Target and will have to go to more expensive, more specialized, smaller stores in these 162 00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:51,020 areas. 163 00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:55,280 Another problem that the left has with these things and demonizing the police force and 164 00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,320 castrating the justice system is that people have to pay for being soft on crime and it 165 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,960 is rarely the offenders that pay in these instances. 166 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,440 One instance of this is Dequan McMillan. 167 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,880 He was arrested for the strangling and beating of his 23 year old wife, Brittany Meyer. 168 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:22,460 Then after being released on a $250 bail, he shot and killed the mother of his children. 169 00:12:22,460 --> 00:12:25,240 Another good example is Adam Benefield. 170 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,360 This man was convicted in 2000 of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and another woman with a 171 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,360 gun. 172 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:39,120 Then on September 28th of last year, on camera, he attacked and beat his wife, Kira Benefield. 173 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,760 After she showed the video to police, he was charged with 3rd degree assault, 4th degree 174 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:49,440 criminal mischief, 2nd degree menacing and 2nd degree unlawful imprisonment, which are 175 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,140 all misdemeanors. 176 00:12:51,140 --> 00:12:58,160 But due to New York's no cash bail system, he was released within 24 hours. 177 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:05,000 And the only protection Kira had was an order of protection, a piece of paper from the state. 178 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,380 So unfortunately, Adam crashed his car into hers while she was taking her kids to school 179 00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:13,560 and killed her with a shotgun. 180 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:19,560 Due to what they see every day on CNN, the people on the left believe that every criminal 181 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:24,480 is just someone who was put in a bad situation, is just someone who was unlucky and could 182 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:30,320 just as likely be them whenever most of the time this couldn't be further from the truth, 183 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,520 especially in these cases where we see abuse, where we see beatings, where we see violence, 184 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:40,360 and it's classified as misdemeanors so that they don't have to be held in jail for any 185 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,360 amount of time. 186 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,560 And the victim is always the one who pays for it whenever we go soft on crime. 187 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:48,680 And so that's both sides. 188 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:53,820 And so appropriately, we're now going to talk about how both sides' problems affect 189 00:13:53,820 --> 00:13:59,520 each other and draw them to more extremes, making things worse and worse for the rest 190 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,520 of us. 191 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,120 Now, for those of you on the right, I want you to imagine that you're sitting on your 192 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:10,960 couch in a liberal city like Chicago and you see on the news that an innocent man was shot 193 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,320 in his home while he was in bed for no reason on a no-knock warrant. 194 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,600 What idea would that give you of police? 195 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,300 Now people on the left, I want you to imagine you're sitting on your couch and watching 196 00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:26,280 television in the middle of the suburbs of a red state and you see that a woman was killed 197 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,680 by her husband who was released only 24 hours after strangling her. 198 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:37,620 Both sides unwilling to say that their way is not working and justifying their extremes 199 00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:40,640 is what's making it worse for everyone. 200 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:46,460 Whenever the right allows unchecked power, tyranny, and murder to be committed by police, 201 00:14:46,460 --> 00:14:52,440 even in few numbers, it gives the left the fuel they need to continue hating law enforcement, 202 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,680 seeing them all as evil, and deciding that they don't need them in their community at 203 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,180 all because there is no benefit from them. 204 00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:04,280 And whenever the left drives out these police due to what they see on television, crime 205 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:10,080 goes up, people are hurt, people are killed, businesses can't run, cars burn, and the 206 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,460 right only sees chaos in all of this and they justify their way of life. 207 00:15:15,460 --> 00:15:21,220 They justify the tyranny that is reigning over them from these corrupt police officers 208 00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:27,040 because at least they have their way of order and at least they are safe whenever in reality 209 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,520 they are not. 210 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,020 And each one feeds into the other. 211 00:15:33,020 --> 00:15:38,200 If we want to see any change in the police forces in this country, if we want to see 212 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:44,680 any change in crime in this country, both sides have to come together and say that it's 213 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,440 not working their way. 214 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:53,760 The left has to realize that not all police officers are evil, not all criminals are angels, 215 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,800 and that there is a place and a need for rule of law in society. 216 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,160 And the right has to come forth and say that they're not going to tolerate corruption, 217 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:10,880 murder, or any form of infringement on their rights given to them by God and this country 218 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,220 by police officers, whether federal or local. 219 00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:18,920 Whenever we can engage in a dialogue in the middle, we will make meaningful change in 220 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:25,080 this country where police officers will do their jobs and protect all of us without oppressing 221 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:31,280 us and criminals will not be free to do whatever they want to the victims in this country. 222 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,320 But of course, we do have to be realistic. 223 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,860 People will not meet in the middle. 224 00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:43,960 There is rarely a dialogue exchange and that is due to so many things, from radicalization 225 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:50,120 in the media to social media driving people further in their own beliefs, to just so many 226 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,160 forms of isolation that we have allowed in this country, to where politics is a taboo 227 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,160 subject and if you disagree on something that you are the enemy of each other. 228 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,320 And you can say that about so many different things, so many different problems we are 229 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,920 facing in this country. 230 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,840 What we have to realize is that we are facing these problems together. 231 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,800 And as long as we are unwilling to speak about it, unwilling to be realistic about it, unwilling 232 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,240 to look at the facts of it, all these problems will continue the way they are, especially 233 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,480 this one we see every day with the police. 234 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,840 And so ladies and gentlemen, that is our first episode. 235 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,840 I've been your host Alex Hopper and I look forward to having so many more conversations 236 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,640 with
