tv Justice With Judge Jeanine FOX News April 18, 2021 12:00am-1:00am PDT
12:00 am
thank you. be sure to follow me on facebook, instagram and twitter. "justice with judge jeanine" is next. and remember i'm watters and this is my world. judge jeanine: welcome to "justice." i'm judge jeanine pirro. the most dangerous profession in the united states is law enforcement. members of congress are promoting that we simply get rid of cops. take, for example rashida tlaib. she wants no police.
12:01 am
daunte wright was met with aggression and violence. i'm done with those who condone government-funded murder. no more policing, incarceration and militarization. and her pal and squad mate aoc echos her. and former president obama simply wants to reimagine policing, whatever that means. and don't you dare accord police their constitutional rights. you know the same rights illegals get even if we don't know their names and background. the latest example, the city manager of brooklyn center where
12:02 am
wright was shot. the city manager was shot for saying the officer should be given due process. >> they are entitled to due process with respect to discipline. this employee will receive due process. judge jeanine: since when aren't police entitled to constitutional rights? police are quitting all across the country. while police have our backs, no one, and i mean no one has theirs. i for one am tired of hearing police called contrac -- calleds and government sanctioned murderers. i have been to far too many funerals of police officers who gave their lives for someone they didn't even know.
12:03 am
i prosecuted them including a white cop who shot a black man. why is no one talking about the armed insurrection on our streets across america. and crime is up by huge numbers across the country especially in big cities. last week two children were shot in new york city. chicago, baltimore, l.a., new york, oakland, washington, these shootings happen all the time. especially every weekend on the south side of chicago where black lives are lost as a result of black on black crime. it doesn't matter how old the victim is. the outrage is only if a cop pulls the trigger. when that happens, the marching and the riots starts. then there is the defund the
12:04 am
police. oakland tried that and couldn't figure out why there was a rise in crime, then reinstated the funding. are cops really that stupid in the ones who are staying are not making arrest because they fear prosecution from prosecutors looking to indict cops, not criminals. in 2020 -- in 2020, 45 police officers were killed by gunfire. in 202017 plan men were killed by police. the chances of you have being shot as an unarmed blackman is .000017 percent. if democrat leftists get their
12:05 am
way there will be true anarchy on the streets of america. then who do we call, ghostbusters? make no mistake, these leftists speak for very few people. 81% of african-americans don't want police defunded. in fact they want the same or more police. democrat politicians make you want to think blacks wake up every day to kill blacks. maybe they would understand what it's like for minorities who are overwhelmingly the victims of crime. even jackie lacey and her husband who was charged for taking out a gun to defend themselves from protesters. no one puts themselves in the shoes of the law enforcement
12:06 am
officer who is trained to respond and make a decision based on what they know at the moment of interaction. not what the monday morning quarterbackers gather. take a listen to the call that brought officer eric stillman to the dark alley in chicago on the night adam toledo was shot. >> we just heard 7 or 8 gunshots fired. the 2300 block of sawyer. >> did you see anything? >> no, i just heard it. >> 6 or 7. judge jeanine: imagine the dark alley officer stillman is in. he's giving chase after being sent to the scene with a report of shots fired. >> we are talking about a barely 13-year-old, developmentally
12:07 am
disabled special needs kid who is in 7th grade. who is shot. there is a lot of layers there, sociological and so forth. parents are as fearful of police as they are of gang -- gang bangers or crooks. jesse: police officers make a split second decision, kill or be killed. officer stillman knew this was an area where latin gangs congregated. after patting count first suspect, there were two of them, and he found no gun. but he saw something transferred between the two individuals so he gave chase to the second suspect. yelling stop, stop now, chicago police, show me your hand, show me your hand, drop it, drop it.
12:08 am
those words are not suggestions. they are commands. but an officer sees a gun in the right hand of toledo and in less than one second from the time he sees the gun he shoots. then he tries to render aid for toledo then calls for help. he shot only once because he knew the situation was contained. there is a war going on on the streets our large city. we give police officers the authority to demand compliance. there was no compliance. there was a chase and repeated demand. in 8/10 of a second from seeing the gun the officer made the decision to shoot. this is not a level playing field. one is an individual fleeing down an alley from law enforcement who later is found to have gunshot residue on his
12:09 am
hands and a latin gang tattoo. the other is a police officer who whom we have given training, a badge, a gun and legal authority to use it to protect society at large. the police need more training? maybe. but there are ininescapable truths that no training can change. what he suspect turns towards you with a gun you have a split second to decide, kill or be killed. what would you do? that's my open. let me know what you think on facebook page and twitter, #judgejeanine. if you liked my open, you will like my closing statements at the end of the show. first to another critical topic tonight.
12:10 am
the left's push to further their brad cal agenda by facing the supreme court. >> the republicans stole two seats on the supreme court, now it's up to us to repair that damage. we must expand the court and abolish the filibuster to do it. >> some people will say we are packing the court. we are unpacking it. judge jeanine: senator lindsey graham joins me to react to that. first question to you. when they say the supreme court is broken and they need to fix it. what are they talking about? >> it's conservative and they wanted it to be liberal. there is nothing broken about the supreme court. there are 9 justices. it's been that way since 1869. they want to turn it upside down
12:11 am
to pack it with liberals. every time one party takes over from the other we'll change the number of justices. you have you been a lawyer all your life. it will destroy the rule of law as we know it. the idea of packing the court so liberals can make it liberal rather than changing the mickup through the election process the way we have don't for a long time. this is a dramatic bold move and i will do everything within my power to stop it in the senate. if it wrote become a political football. judge jeanine: there is no question it would be just another branch of political government. even ruth bader ginsburg said it was a bad idea to pack the court. they can rule on anything. they can rule on the second amendment. on abortion. on unions.
12:12 am
on any one of a number of issues. it doesn't matter. >> the court matters. >> to all of us. i want to move on because there always lot of news. today president biden said for the first time that the -- that there was a crisis at the border. i think we have some sound on that. >> the problem was the refugees -- judge jeanine: it's not clear what he's talking about. but he initially said they were going to captain refugees at 15,000 and aoc has a conniption
12:13 am
and he admits there is a crisis at the border. >> it's chaos. we had 172,000 people come into the country illegally in march alone. we are on track to do 2 million. the border patrol told the biden administration during the transition. if you reverse policy on the border. you have the russian threatening the ukraine. president. the chinese threatening taiwan. we are going to make sure the taliban takes care of al qaeda and isis. joe biden created a lot of instability in what short period of time. if he doesn't get tougher with the iranians they will have a bomb before you know it. i'm worried about the world under the biden administration. they are clueless in my view in
12:14 am
terms of the threats we face at the border and abroad. judge jeanine: let's talk about afghanistan. i know you feel strongly about it. there are 2,500 military forces there. why are you so against removing them? >> they are an insurance policy against another 9/11. the last type we ignored afghanistan we had 3,000 americans killed. afghanistan was a safe haven for al qaeda. have we learned nothing from iraq? when we withdraw from these places and don't have an insurance policy residual force to watch the bad guys, they come back here. if you don't have your foot on their throat over there, they fight over here. we hado -- we had 3,000 or 4,000
12:15 am
folks on the ground. i think bind left us naked. i'm worried we'll pay a heavy place for leaving afghanistan. they will come roaring back and we'll have to go back in. if you don't believe me, believe the military. he was advised not to do this iraq, he did it. he was advised not to do it in afghanistan and he did it anyway. he was told by the border patrol don't change trump policies, you will loss control of the border. i'm worried about the state of the world under joe biden. judge jeanine: senator lindsey graham. thanks for being us tonight. why did democrats call to defund the police are so dangerous and
12:20 am
this morning as one police officer is doused and another is hit in the face with a liquid chemical during a routine traffic stop. the man then drove off and crashed a short time later. officers on the screen discovered more molotov cocktails in the vehicle. fortunately the officers are reportedly doing fine at this hour. maybe it's time for elected officials to stop vilifying cops and start supporting the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us. anne marie shubert joins us to react. what else it going to take for police or the public to realize that defunding the police and trashing the place will only
12:21 am
create a state of chaos. >> i think we are in the state of chaos in major urban cities. if you look across the country, violence is off the charts. in philadelphia fushed rates are up 30%. in thanks county it's up 200%. most americans wants the same thing, they want to feel safe in their homes. and the fact is, you have to have law enforcement to keep us safe. are there ways to improve public safety? yes. but not to do away with police agencies. judge jeanine: chris cuomo said there won't be police reform until white people's kids get killed. he says what's going on with the police. maybe we shouldn't even have police. this is starting to be not just
12:22 am
congress people, but mainstream media. >> i think if you look, there is a big difference between renorm normand -- reform and anarchy. there have been major reforms especially in california with police training. but there is a big difference between reform which may be needed in law enforcement across the country and anarchy. saying we need white people killed to prove a point -- the fact is we need police and really most violent crime unfortunately occurs in neighborhoods where we have communities of color. so the victims of violent crimes are those individuals. the fact is that we need law enforcement to protect all of us. judge jeanine: i will go to you merks rvin brookings.
12:23 am
you have a foundation called brother to brother. there was a time when you didn't think highly of cops. tell us about that and what you are doing now. >> that's true. in my youth when i wasn't anchored in principled living. i made choices that landed me in prison. coming home from that experience -- at that time i didn't realize how many people that negative example i set impacted. coming home i made a point to do as much as i can to provide a positive role model for individuals in my community. that's what brother to brother is all about. being positive role models in our community. >> it seems like it's never been needed more than now. what is it going to take for people to realize that's they
12:24 am
are playing a dangerous game. it started two years ago, and the assault on police is shocking. how do we stop it? >> i think we have to take the politics out of the conversation. the politics are polarizing. i'm not a fan of defunding the police. but what i will say, when you hear african-americans say defund the police, understand that's coming from a place of anger, hurt and frustration because of the shootings of unarmed african-american men by law enforcement. buff with that, if you continue to conversate with these people. you will find the conversation is more about reforming as opposed to reforming. i think it's counter productive when we use that language.
12:25 am
judge jeanine: it seems like the two of you have have is an indication that, you know, there is so much more for to us reach for. but god help nuts meantime. thank you d.a. anne marie shubert and mervin brookins from brother to brother. the liberal media is doing all they can to inflame the heightened tensions between police departments and their communities. we have the tape and joe concha to over.
12:30 am
now back to judge jeanine. judge jeanine: the blatant bias of the mainstream media was on full display following the shooting in minnesota. cnn was at the forefront of spreading anti-law enforcement propaganda. don lemon hosted john thompson. >> you are right. there are just because you criticize and you want policing to be better doesn't mean you
12:31 am
are anti-police. glad you took the pain of losing your friend and you turned it into something positive and you are trying to make everybody better from it. judge jeanine: what they failed to mention is this minnesota statehouse representative has a history of using disgusting anti-cop rhetoric. watch. how can cnn justify giving someone like this a platform to discuss anything relating to policing in america. good evening, joe. why was cnn give any kind of platform to someone like that saying blue lives ain't worth you know what. >> cnn's audience since january is down 50%. half of their audience is gone. donald trump is off the stage.
12:32 am
it's like staking tony soprano off the sopranos. so they have to fall back on --back on this racial divide. we remember 2020 in the summer where you had a cnn reporter literally standing in front of a burning building and the chryon was mostly peaceful protests continue. in the meantime there are burning buildings. 2020 was one of the most deadly years for cops since 1974. 264 police officers died in 2020. some of that was due to covid. police officers can't take a day off because there is a pandemic going on. they were shot and they were aimed at and this was something that again we have seen police
12:33 am
officers retiring in record numbers across the country as a result of this anti-cop rhetoric from places like cnn. judge jeanine: right now i think we have a video of some protesters, according to done lemon who started a small campfire. take a look at this one. >> some of the protesters started a campfire to stay warm in the middle of the street. shortly after that they moved in from the police station and from the north side of the police station as well, boxing everybody in. >> a small campfire in the middle of the street. are they kidding? >> i lived in new york city for a while. we lit camp fires all the time in urban areas. they are not campfires. they are fires. we are talking billions of dollars in damage from all those
12:34 am
riots we saw. you see a media that refuses to call riots riots. they keep calling them protests. can we come to a compromise and call them mostly peaceful riots? every time there is a police shooting and we don't have all the details there is a rush to motive where officers are assumed guilty until proven innocent. we say the with adam toledo where he was shot but he also had a gun on him by the way at that time. and the police officer, you see the body cam video, a split second he has to decide what do i do here, i just saw somebody with a gun i can't seat gun, he's turning towards me. what do you do in that situation in now they are saying that police officer should never work again. that's just not the way it works, jeanine. judge jeanine: it's a sad sad
12:35 am
state of affairs. when it gets to congress and commentators on television saying we don't need police, you have got to wonder what's next. judge jeanine: still ahead. my closing statement on what we know about those alleged russian bounties. the left isn't letting the english language get in the way of their mission to remake america. which word are they trying to redefine now. we have their hit list along with leo terrell and kim klacik to react.
12:40 am
>> the wipers be battery, broadband. it's all infrastructure. judge jeanine: that's joe biden explaining to us what the new definition of infrastructure is. his administration's efforts to redefine words don't end there. anita dunn lectured us on the word bipartisan. she said it's support from republicans and democrats. it doesn't say the republicans have to be in congress.
12:41 am
i wonder how much legislation that definition will get you to pass. leo terrell, what do you think of their definition. >> no republican is going to adopt a socialist program. when they redefine. now that joe biden and the socialist are in office, they can't get logical republicans to support from the congress. so what they have done to lie to us is to characterize bipartisan support to be lincoln republicans -- rinos.
12:42 am
>> they are using words in the dictionary that make no sense. it's like they want to start their own language, too. >> thank you for having me back. that's exactly what they are doing. liberals have always been very condescending. i remember when they applauded hillary clinton for calling conservatives deplorable. they loved it. we have a crisis at the on border, they don't walled it a crisis. when kids were in custody at the border they were in cages. like leo is explaining, real republicans, real conservatives aren't buying it. judge jeanine: president biden
12:43 am
slipped and called it a crisis. but aoc said we got this. these children are not insurgents. we are not being invaded. which by the way, go ahead, play it. >> this is not a surge. these are children. and they are not insurgents. and we are not being invaded. which by the way is a white supremacist idea, philosophy, the idea that if an other is coming in the population, that this is like an invasion of who we are. judge jeanine: why is everything about race and white supremacist. like the word surge. >> i'm sick of it. as a civil rights attorney i find it offensive for ao drorks attach everything to white
12:44 am
supremacy or racist. the democrats race card has to be played. if democrats lose black voters there is no democrat party. i escaped from the democratic plantation and i left. now i'm glad to be a republican. but they try to scare everybody with that race card attack. that's what it is, judge. judge jeanine: just ahead, outrage over one ice cream makers reaction to law enforcement.
12:48 am
♪♪ ♪♪ ocean spray works with nature every day to keep you healthy judge jeanine: the left's push to defund the police is not confined to liberal politicians in washington. they are getting support from so-called woke companies like ben and jerry's ice cream. their official twitter account posted the murder of daunte wright is road in white supremacy. this system can't be reformed. it must be dismantled and a real
12:49 am
system of public safety rebuilt from the ground up. hashtag defund the police. i can't believe an ice cream company is saying this. >> mr. ben of ben and jerry's is worth $150 million. i am pretty sure he feels safe in his gate community. if you live in a city like baltimore you don't want to defund police. we have 10 times the national homicide rate. for people protected at all times like the squad. they love to talk about defunding the police because it doesn't affect their lives. '. >> she is so right.
12:50 am
>> judge, ben and jerry. first, i don't like ben and jerry ice cream. have they ever served as a police officer or worked on the street? i don't listen to ben and jerry. because what is happening on the streets ever since the george floyd case, there have been riots in the street, burning and looting. ben and jerry have no experience dealing with law enforcement and dealing with criminals. so stick to see is cream. i don't eat ben and jerry ice cream. >> the whole idea of if someone disagrees with you, you are a racist. i think we have some sound from sharon osborne. >> i have been called so many things in my life. buff a racist is one i will
12:51 am
take. disagreeing somebody does not make you a racist in my book. judge jeanine: she is so right. it's almost as though if they want to trash you they call you a racist on issue ofs having nothing to do with racism. it's almost like they throw something at you that puts you up for disdain in everybody's book. >> absolutely. i feel so bad for her. buff this is the only country in the world where race hustling is big money. joe biden and everybody in the administration talks about unifying the country. more the we talk about race, the less we become unified. this is how they get black people, brown people, hispanic people to vote for democrats every single time. they put if you these voting
12:52 am
blocs and god forbid you should disagree with them. it's only those who disagree with what they are saying. in schools they shall talking about critical race theory. i have a daughter who is 4 years old, she is biracial. her father is white. it's so backwards. we are going in a pregrelsive direction. this is not progressive and i wish this narrative would stop today. judge jeanine: leo and kim, thanks so much for being on "justice." my can't miss closing statement on the left's latest
12:57 am
it began as an attempt to demonstrate i think russia was paying afghan militants and putting bounties on american troops. near constant 2020 declared it to be true and left-wing media followed saying intelligence is reporting russia offering afghan militant bounds in u.s. troops. u.s. military command specifically the one who oversees afghanistan and believe intelligence have established the fact. the chairman of the joint chief said the intelligence was far from compulsive but the media, the left and all trump haters including joe biden went after president trump. >> i don't understand why this president is unwilling to take it on when he's paying bounties to kill american soldiers in afghanistan. >> notice biden used the word actually.
12:58 am
actually paying bounties. now it's proven to be just another attempt to turn americans against president trump, especially american military families. it was. men and falls now. president trump knew it and called it a hoax but i want you to listen very carefully to joe biden, the whole thing up. >> 's entire presence has been a gift to putin but this is beyond the payoff, betrayal of the most sacred duty we bear as a nation to protect and equip our troops when we send them into harm's way, that the trade, betrayal of every single american family, the world loved ones serving overseas. >> yes, it's all theater. there was no russia collusion but loads of bullet supervisors for writing about it and there
12:59 am
was no bounty on american soldiers and joe biden went to victory based on that claim. genentech's excuse is that u.s. intelligence has evident russian military intelligence directorate afghan terminal networks. really? what does that have to do with military bounties? it's very different than a bounty on american soldiers. they say it's a fact, they use it against the president and then when it's time for biden to do something, suddenly it's gone and the message is, it's not true. but democrats and left-wing media are not only dishonest but they are peddling information can swing a presidential election and even put a nation in danger with the country that already has nuclear weapons. politics is all theater and god help the american people.
1:00 am
at my closing. catch more of me online. thanks for watching. i'm jeanine pierrot, advocating for truth, justice and the american way and i'll see you next saturday night. episode of "the ingraham angle." greg gutfeld takes it from here. >> i haven't said the last president's name in five months. why would i? rick scott gave him the champion of freedom award. it's an award that stretches back to three days ago because they made it up just to soothe the ego of king baby coward. look how tiny the trophy is. i believe that's the saucer that they used to serve rick scott his breakfast mouth. >> greg: stephen, in case you haven't heard, donald trump is gone and we have a new president now for you to make fun of. her name is kamala harris.
