Mo analyzes Jim Clyburn's role in "launching" Joe Biden's campaign in South Carolina. He suggests Clyburn is the true "kingmaker" who holds leverage over the Biden administration. A clip of Clyburn's endorsement is played to illustrate his influence and the transactional nature of his support for Biden.
The discussion covers the push for federal "Stand Your Ground" legislation and the proposal for mandatory firearm insurance. The hosts characterize these insurance requirements as a "racist tax" designed to make gun ownership too expensive for the poor, effectively disarming them through financial attrition.
The hosts discuss the divide between the black political class, which favors gun control, and citizens on the ground who seek self-defense. They reference Bob Woodson's theories on how the system disempowers black communities to maintain a "victim" industry. The segment also touches on the NRA's complicated relationship with black activists like Colion Noir and Maj Toure.
The NRA faced significant criticism for its silence following the acquittal of the officer who killed Philando Castile. Despite Castile being a lawful gun owner, the NRA declined to advocate for him, leading many to believe the organization prioritizes its relationship with law enforcement over the rights of black members. NAGA president Philip Smith notes that even a statement of disagreement would have been better than total silence.
Adam Curry and Mo'fax critique the NRA's leadership, specifically the appointment of Oliver North as president. They point out the irony of North, who was involved in the Iran-Contra scandal that flooded black communities with drugs and guns, leading a gun rights organization. They conclude the NRA functions more as a lobby for manufacturers and law enforcement than as a representative for all gun owners.
The discussion critiques conservative pundits like Larry Elders for using Black-on-Black crime as a deflection when discussing police shootings of Black men. The hosts highlight the case of Philando Castile, a legal gun owner killed by police, and the notable silence from the NRA on the matter. Additionally, the segment explores the lack of discussion regarding the mental health and medication use of police officers, suggesting Big Pharma's influence on media prevents such scrutiny.
