INSIGHT

Rhetoric Raises Real-World Risk

Demonizing law enforcement raises the risk of violent confrontations and makes officers more likely to use force in chaotic moments.
Dave Rubin connects heated rhetoric about ICE to the Minneapolis shooting as a predictable consequence.

ANECDOTE

Watching The Video In Slow Motion

Dave Rubin describes watching the Minneapolis shooting video and feeling shock similar to when a friend was shot.
He walks viewers through the slow-motion moment when the ICE agent draws his gun as the car moves forward.

Kennedy Jr. posting a new version of "South Park's" food pyramid episode to announce the release of the new scientifically based food pyramid; and much more.
