Ami Horowitz Reports From Downtown Minneapolis
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, so back to Ami.
Ami is, the reason I said have gun, will travel, is have trouble, will travel.
That's Ami's motto, and that's why he's in downtown Minneapolis.
Talking about your being in downtown Minneapolis, you're obviously at a hotel.
Is anybody else in that hotel?
Yeah, it's all press.
All the hotels are just full press.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
Have you ever banter with these wonderful people, the professional lying class?
All the time.
And I always ask the same question, which is, do you ever ask the real questions?
All the questions are about how you're feeling now, what's your opinion on what's happening?
I've shot a video.
Just released today, right?
And I went to the George Floyd Memorial, where the protesters are, and I asked the real questions.
I brought out what they really feel.
I cannot stress this more, okay?
The fact that the media wants to separate the rioters and the protesters is what I find so mind-boggling.
Not that most of the protesters are rioting.
Most of them are not.
But when I spoke with the protesters, First of all, a lot of them plan on rioting, right?
But there wasn't a single protester, and I'm talking, I probably spoke with 50 people on and off camera in Minneapolis.
I've spoken to 100 of them across the country last year.
And when I asked them, do you condemn the rioting?
Do you justify the rioting?
They never say, no, we condemn it, or no, we don't justify it.
They will always make an excuse.
For the rioters.
And that's what gives the rioters and the looters and the arsonists the air to breathe and to work, because they know that these tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, actually millions of protesters out there have their back, right?
And the Democratic leadership have their back.
And this is the problem, is that, yeah, of course, they're not all rioters, you know, 1%.
I have no idea what the number is, whatever small percentage is.
But they are able to do what they do because they have the support of these protesters.
And I'm so angry at what I heard, but even more profoundly sad.
I asked them a whole number of questions, and one of them was, do you think there's a genocide going on?
And they kept using the word genocide.
Yes, genocide.
After I said, you know, the word genocide is the eradication of an entire people.
And they look at me and they go, that's exactly what's happening.
That's exactly what's happening.
They're trying to get rid of every black person in this country.
They believe it.
These aren't the rioters.
These are the protests I'm talking to, mind you.
Okay?
And then when you take it to the next level and say, well, if you think a genocide is happening, do we need to engage in a civil war?
And I don't mean the civil war like you keep talking about, right?
Intellectual one.
I mean an armed one.
And they were saying, yes, we do.
People were talking about guns and killing people.
This is what they're telling me on camera.
No, this is bad.
This is really, really bad, Dennis.
I watched your video.
It is up at DennisPrager.com.
I want my listeners to see it and send it around.
You asked these questions that you just mentioned.
And, for example, how many blacks are killed each year by the police?
Thousands.
Unarmed blacks.
Thousands.
What is the actual number that we have?
I'm sorry?
In 2020, the number is 18. And by the way, of the 18, I looked into every single one of them.
And the vast majority of the 18...
We're either a justified shooting because the person was attacking the police officer.
He may have been unarmed, but he was grabbing for his gun.
He's choking the police officer out.
Or it was an absolute mistake.
Somebody who had a cell phone in his hand or something else in their hand, which wasn't a weapon, but the police officer thought it might have been the dark.
So the vast majority of them, so that 18 isn't even the right number, because the vast majority of them...
Where mistakes are actually justified.
So the numbers of actual unarmed killings, I can only find really one, actually one that was just inexcusable, right?
Maybe two.
This is all manufactured by the left-wing media of the United States, the mainstream media.
They should be called the New York Times riots, the New York Times deaths, the New York Times hate.
They actually are.
They actually, because the, you know, the 1710 project, whatever that project is, I don't want to remember its name.
1619. 1619 project.
She called it the 1619 riot.
Oh yes, good point.
They literally are the New York Times riot.
That's right.
Literally.
And they're proud of it.
That's right.
This is what we're having.
It's all based on lies.
The hatred of America on the left and on the black left is all based on lies.
I've said this my whole life.
Lies are the root of evil.
