2:20:58 And it was nine minutes long and knowing from your research that Joe is coherent in the first 10 minutes, I figured let's have a listen. And he was coherent. Now, is he saying anything that a presidential nominee that would give him an edge? I don't think so. But this of course was mainly about Black Lives Matter and Joe is on message as usual. Trevor Noah will set it up. I want to talk a little bit about the op-ed that you put out today. Talk me through how you would plan to undo systemic oppression, how you would plan to undo systemic racism and how you think you'll address the needs of the African American community. Well, first of all, it's going to take time.
2:21:39 You know, Donald Trump didn't invent racism, but he sure has promoted it. And it's systemic, it's been real. The disparities in the country, especially in the economy right now, the combination, there's just an awful combination. COVID-19, unemployment, systemic racism. What you'll hear, systemic racism, what you'll hear is a politician who was running to be president who has zero solutions. He can identify the problems, he has zero solutions, and the solutions that he has, he doesn't even realize what he's saying is really inadequate. He wrote an op-ed and of course
2:22:21 No one actually wants to defund the police of the people in power because they need them to protect them So they're never gonna be a complete defunding of police. They want to be protected. Yes So somebody has to protect those left-wing tech moguls that live in Hillsborough so in Atherton So Biden, of course, looks at it more as reform, which is how adults pronounce the word defund. You have come out in favor of police reform, you know, but what does that actually mean? Because some people think that you cannot reform an institution that is fundamentally rotten in the core.
2:23:01 Well, I don't think it's rotten in the core and I don't think all cops are bad cops. But I think what it look 90% of all the funding for police comes from local taxpayers. So now listen to what he's saying. 90% of everything that funds the police comes from local taxpayers. I think that's probably true. 90% In fact, that's what the defund movement is about. How can we be spending so much on policing? How is this possible? 90% comes from local sources, not the federal government. 90% of all the funding for police comes from local taxpayers. So the federal government under our system cannot, other than taking a civil rights action, say they do A, B, C and D.
2:23:44 But what we can do is we can make sure that we insist on certain fundamental changes take place now, including giving, making sure there's sensitivity training, making sure that all of the cops. Yeah. Hello. The 1960s called. Yeah. Yeah. They want their sensitivity training back, Joe. That's not going to fly. That all of cops past grievances are, excuse me, transgressions. Oh, the truth wants to come out. All the cops passed grievances, I mean transgressions. Get your words straight, Joe. That all of cops passed grievances, excuse me. Believe me, they've got grievances too. Transgressions are all made public because we can say if you don't, we are not going to provide the federal funding that we provide for you through what they call
2:24:35 burn grants and cop grants. So here's the big man Joe Biden who just got through telling us that 90% of all police force funding is local from state taxes, but you know what? I'm going to stop the cop grants. Do you know what cop grants are? Look it up. Cop grants are specific grants for things like sensitivity training, you numbskull. And so we can, I think now, impact on significantly the desire of many police departments as well to fundamentally change the way they police. Bullcrap. So he's saying, oh no, we'll get rid of 10%. Yeah, that 10% that's actually probably good that is federal money. And Noah is not having it and he's pushing further. Trevor Noah. Joe, I, you're a foreigner. Ah, here we go. Some would say to you, um, Mr. Vice President, if you were to become president,
2:25:24 Do you think that there would be a world where defunding the police would be the solution and getting some of these responsibilities away from police forces, you know, police in schools, police handling mental illness, police handling homelessness, et cetera? Well, I think there are a lot of changes. They can take place, period, without having to defund. By the way, when I hear this, when I hear exactly this, you know, homelessness meant this is if, if Joe Biden wins, or even if the Democrats can win the Senate, anything's possible. Then you're gonna see an expansion of services like you've never seen before We will have NGOs there goes all the money and they're all gonna have their clients and clients You don't fire clients. You don't say hey, you're now an ex-client because I solved your problems No, you want to grow the base bring in more clients. This is this is this has not worked Let's put it that way a lot of changes they can take place period without having to defund police completely Here's what I think's happened
2:26:26 You have well over 80% of the American people going, whoa, I didn't know this. I didn't know this was happening. I don't believe... Where's this number come from? 80%! The science is in! Shut up! Do you have a question about Joe? because we'll send the Antifa goons on you don't question it but apparently 80% of the American people had no idea this was going on. We have not been traumatized for the past 25 to 30 years really since the Rodney King in 1992. That's how long we've been we've been seeing this. It's been pounded and pounded and pounded and hounded.
2:27:04 I didn't know this. I didn't know this was happening. I don't believe peace should be defunded, but I think the conditions should be placed upon them or departments are having to take significant reforms relating to that. We should set up a national use of force standard. If they don't sign onto it, then in fact, they don't get any of the federal money. In addition, that they have to demonstrate that they release all the data that relates to misconduct by police. That all has to be sent to the Justice Department. If they don't send it to the Justice Department nationally, they don't get funding. But as it relates to, for example, mental illness and homelessness and drug abuse and the like, many changes we can make.
2:27:47 You see, it's like all he wants is to have more programs. I'm sure the cops don't want to deal with mental illness. It's a, you know, this is very trying. They don't really need that. Yeah. So I don't think Joe has any, uh, anything good there. I just didn't say anything. He didn't say anything worth a shit. He was awake and, and he was active and, uh, the Adderall, whatever he's taken was, it was going, it was nine minutes. So, but just nothing really came out of it. Unlike Joy Behar, who was also at home in her basement for The View, and she was asked to give her view about defunding because of course you know that she was a former school teacher. Did you know this?
