joining me now brandon tatum, former tucson police officer and host of the brandon tatum show podcast. brandon, it's great to have you here today. thank you so much for taking the time to join me. >> my pleasure. >> ben: in viewing this trial today and seeing what was going on within it, what were some of your take aways from the closing arguments that were given by both the prosecution and the defense? >> well, i think the primary difference between the prosecution and defense is that the video that people visibly saw the emotions that people felt when they saw chauvin appearing to be on the neck of george floyd and i think that the prosecution is using that to compel the jury to make their decision based on that and apply that to the law. defense has a different approach because they are -- they don't have the burden to prove they just need the jury to understand that they have to prove whatever the prosecution is stating yard. so, there is reasonable doubt, according to the defense, that george floyd did not die from officer chauvin's knee on his neck. there was other correcting co

and former tucson, arizona, police officer, brandon tatum. get both for being with us tonight. >> thank you, shannon. >> and brandon come i want to start with you as a former law-enforcement officer yourself. what you make of the lay of the land right now and what we are asking officers to walk into every day. we asked them to risk their lives, they walk into difficult decisions when they have to make split-second decisions and are now under new scrutiny and in some cases, that is warranted. but what is it like for the men and women in uniform right now? >> they are making this an impossible job to actually work, they want you to be a superhero where you feel like you have to go out and be perfect and you can't, there's no mistakes to be made. they want to ask of those magical training you can give police officers that would stop criminals from pulling guns on them or resisting arrest. i think they are sitting in a landscape of degrading law enforcement which is going to cause a lot of law enforcement officers to not apply, people who are int

. >> laura: joining me now brandon tatum former police officer. last time i checked the police weren't the ones who were rioting, looting and burning down cities, harassing people in restaurants as they're doing tonight in new york city. your reaction to this? >> well, first and foremost, we wouldn't need police if people weren't cutting up acting a fool 24 hours a day seven days a week. this is a political agenda and it's sad because they're ruinings our country and they don't have to. police in this country and we know police do their job on a day-to-day basis, you get one officer like chauvin who i think did something he should have been done. i don't think he should have been convicted but did something he shouldn't have done but we can't paint everybody with a broad brush. i don't think you should paint every black person with a broad brush. so why are they still pushing this rhetoric that all police officers in this country are somehow evil, they want revenge. it's absolutely as nine to me. >> laura: and when you think about all these cities

here's bend brandon tatum, former police officer and author beaten black and blue. n america under siege. brandon, why does the modern left want to take us back on the issue of race. and that is what we got out a biden tonight. >> well, they have no other alternative. they have no solutions. they have no way of getting people to vote for them outside of fearing them into voting for them. it is carmen to incredible to me when i watch his speech and i see how joe biden said nothing productive about black people. he didn't have any legislation, no bills, he talked about asians, he talked about lgbtq. he said all of these things. he didn't i don't even know if he said the word african-american people. so these people are complete frauds in my personal opinion as they represent themselves as being the party of the people. spewing carol, i want to ask you this question. i may have asked you this before but i just haven't -- i can't get my head wrapped around this question. how do we expect to lead other countries around the world, have them listen to us, when our own presi
