Reid In nearly the ░░░░░░░░ breath FOX s Laura ░░░░░░░░ speaks about 26 year ░░░░░░░░ UnitedHealthcare suspect and Daniel ░░░░░░░░ who was just acquitted ░░░░░░░░ in a Subway choke ░░░░░░░░ death of 30 year ░░░░░░░░ homeless man Jordan Neely ░░░░░░░░ starts Ingraham people which ░░░░░░░░ was sent in the ░░░░░░░░ break earlier crazy He ░░░░░░░░ cute he s this ░░░░░░░░ people celebrating this it ░░░░░░░░ a sickness Honestly it ░░░░░░░░ so disappointing but I ░░░░░░░░ we shouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ Gentlemen thank you so ░░░░░░░░ And up next the ░░░░░░░░ big news out of ░░░░░░░░ York Daniel Penny a ░░░░░░░░ of people think he ░░░░░░░░ a hero and tonight ░░░░░░░░ s not guilty My ░░░░░░░░ next Clip ends Reid ░░░░░░░░ Wow Joining me now ░░░░░░░░ Jason Johnson professor of ░░░░░░░░ and journalism at Morgan ░░░░░░░░ University and host of ░░░░░░░░ podcast A Word with ░░░░░░░░ Johnson Vive la diffe ░░░░░░░░ Jason Johnson We just ░░░░░░░░ a murder of irony ░░░░░░░░ was a murder right ░░░░░░░░ Reid Irony is officially ░░░░░░░░ Johnson Irony is officially ░░░░░░░░ under any and all ░░░░░░░░ We should not be ░░░░░░░░ in this country that ░░░░░░░░ re elected Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ I mean the reality ░░░░░░░░ if you go back ░░░░░░░░ the Trayvon Martin case ░░░░░░░░ can go back before ░░░░░░░░ you can go back ░░░░░░░░ the justification for lynching ░░░░░░░░ conservatives whether the conservatives ░░░░░░░░ the D uniform or ░░░░░░░░ R uniform conservatism itself ░░░░░░░░ justified violence January 6th ░░░░░░░░ down Tulsa and Wilmington ░░░░░░░░ the government there If ░░░░░░░░ s violence for the ░░░░░░░░ they want they re ░░░░░░░░ with it Johnson If ░░░░░░░░ victim is somebody that ░░░░░░░░ don t like or ░░░░░░░░ victim is someone they ░░░░░░░░ deserves it then a ░░░░░░░░ of times people are ░░░░░░░░ to justify violence It ░░░░░░░░ an unfortunate thing and ░░░░░░░░ s a very American ░░░░░░░░ right We worship vigilante ░░░░░░░░ We worship action heroes ░░░░░░░░ worship Charles Bronson all ░░░░░░░░ people who take it ░░░░░░░░ their own hands Reid ░░░░░░░░ Capone Johnson Al Capone ░░░░░░░░ and everything like that ░░░░░░░░ think the sad part ░░░░░░░░ this frankly is that ░░░░░░░░ am not going to ░░░░░░░░ that in a country ░░░░░░░░ s been started and ░░░░░░░░ off of violence that ░░░░░░░░ doesn t sometimes solve ░░░░░░░░ but the man who ░░░░░░░░ killed is a cog ░░░░░░░░ a machine It s ░░░░░░░░ going to change anything ░░░░░░░░ how health care operates ░░░░░░░░ this country So you ░░░░░░░░ killed a man harmed ░░░░░░░░ family and the machine ░░░░░░░░ going to keep going ░░░░░░░░ it didn t really ░░░░░░░░ anything Reid And the ░░░░░░░░ that is wild about ░░░░░░░░ this Luigi Mangione he ░░░░░░░░ now sort of everywhere ░░░░░░░░ are people celebrating him ░░░░░░░░ Don t catch him ░░░░░░░░ sort of thing You ░░░░░░░░ he did have his ░░░░░░░░ today and he stood ░░░░░░░░ and yelled something about ░░░░░░░░ is unfair it s ░░░░░░░░ right yadda yadda yadda ░░░░░░░░ he goes walking in ░░░░░░░░ he yelled something about ░░░░░░░░ he goes He s ░░░░░░░░ himself into sort a ░░░░░░░░ hero and leaning into ░░░░░░░░ He s probably richer ░░░░░░░░ the guy that he ░░░░░░░░ His family he has ░░░░░░░░ wealth Johnson Yes Reid ░░░░░░░░ he probably was wealthier ░░░░░░░░ the CEO that he ░░░░░░░░ Johnson Yes this is ░░░░░░░░ Luthor killing a storm ░░░░░░░░ right And here s ░░░░░░░░ thing The humanity of ░░░░░░░░ is that no matter ░░░░░░░░ much money you have ░░░░░░░░ can still taken advantage ░░░░░░░░ by our unfair health ░░░░░░░░ system All the money ░░░░░░░░ the world can t ░░░░░░░░ a broken back All ░░░░░░░░ money in the world ░░░░░░░░ t save your grandmother ░░░░░░░░ s where my empathy ░░░░░░░░ through But the attitude ░░░░░░░░ well if I can ░░░░░░░░ get things my way ░░░░░░░░ I m in pain ░░░░░░░░ singular violence is a ░░░░░░░░ to go is a ░░░░░░░░ of privilege that vast ░░░░░░░░ of people in America ░░░░░░░░ t exact Reid And ░░░░░░░░ lot of the people ░░░░░░░░ are fully in love ░░░░░░░░ Mangione are opposed to ░░░░░░░░ the insurance companies That ░░░░░░░░ how you could actually ░░░░░░░░ them taking advantage of ░░░░░░░░ and right I agree ░░░░░░░░ system is broken and ░░░░░░░░ companies are bilking us ░░░░░░░░ is being sued for ░░░░░░░░ reason But like you ░░░░░░░░ they ll just replace ░░░░░░░░ with another CEO and ░░░░░░░░ doing it to you ░░░░░░░░ regulation would actually fix ░░░░░░░░ They re against that ░░░░░░░░ They re against regulation ░░░░░░░░ people don t understand ░░░░░░░░ part They want the ░░░░░░░░ of this one man ░░░░░░░░ that will supposedly it ░░░░░░░░ like everyone talking about ░░░░░░░░ anesthesiologist a week ago ░░░░░░░░ oh that changed because ░░░░░░░░ what happened Probably not ░░░░░░░░ was a much more ░░░░░░░░ situation If there was ░░░░░░░░ general level of understanding ░░░░░░░░ health care if we ░░░░░░░░ had members of Congress ░░░░░░░░ would engage health care ░░░░░░░░ an actual issue not ░░░░░░░░ as a political ploy ░░░░░░░░ be rebounded back and ░░░░░░░░ you wouldn t have ░░░░░░░░ kinds of problems But ░░░░░░░░ this is my real ░░░░░░░░ This is very real ░░░░░░░░ you and me and ░░░░░░░░ else who does anything ░░░░░░░░ person worked alone I ░░░░░░░░ believe he very likely ░░░░░░░░ alone Any crazy person ░░░░░░░░ views somebody as the ░░░░░░░░ of all their problems ░░░░░░░░ go out and do ░░░░░░░░ That s what happens ░░░░░░░░ you have a country ░░░░░░░░ worships violence and a ░░░░░░░░ where you don t ░░░░░░░░ gun Because if you ░░░░░░░░ t get access to ░░░░░░░░ this probably doesn t ░░░░░░░░ Reid And this is ░░░░░░░░ same approach that is ░░░░░░░░ by the right when ░░░░░░░░ comes to gun violence ░░░░░░░░ re like oh it ░░░░░░░░ very sad that 3 ░░░░░░░░ olds were killed but ░░░░░░░░ answer would be regulating ░░░░░░░░ but we re not ░░░░░░░░ to do that.”
