tty violent and terrible. And every day that they go on, Trump gets closer to election. Because Trump has played this perfectly from a political perspective. You could argue about functionally but from a political perspective the best thing Trump could have done is continuously offer federal help and let the cities decline it. And then once they've declined it allow that to stand, not overrule them. Now the minor exception was federal people protecting federal property but that's an exception. That's federal property.

So by Trump not acting like a dictator, in other words not sending in troops and overriding the cities and the states, he looks very much not like a dictator. And it makes the other side, the Democrats running these riot-torn cities, look like, well do you want more of that? Because that's what they want to bring you nationally. I mean if I were the Trump campaign I would do nothing but show video from the riots and say this is what they want to bring to you nationally. Because you know that's not even a little bit wrong. That's not even a slight bit of hyperbole. What you're seeing in the inner cities is exactly what you would get everywhere if those same kinds of policies were taken nationally. Same kind of policies in this case being soft on crime.

CNN has managed to disappear all of the riots like they don't exist. And also the Clinesmith stuff. So the country is having massive big riots every night and there was a coup that we now know, at least one of the central players of this coup, this Clinesmith guy, and that's sort of not treated as news. Not really news. The Millie Weaver thing I haven't gotten interested in yet. I guess that's been removed so I guess that's contentious. Some debatable reporting there so I don't know what the truth is on any of that.

Let me see if I can clear something up. A few times I made some Twitter comments that were incomplete and therefore misleading. And it goes like this: Why is it that the George Floyd story is a national story whereas the five-year-old or the toddler, whatever he was, who was killed by his neighbor while he was just in his front yard, why is one of them a national story and the other is ignored? Because Fox News and others are trying to say hey what about this story? Is it only because the victim was white?

And here's what the public doesn't understand about what makes a national story. Now I deal with trying to turn things that are not stories into national stories. That's actually my job. So if I'm trying to get my book promoted and let's say it was the original Dilbert books, I would tie them to a national story which is hey there's lots of downsizing and offshoring back in the 90s and here's a character that has the same situation. So Dilbert got on the cover of magazines etc. because I did what everybody does when they want to elevate an individual story. They attach it to something that's already a story. You can't make a story out of nothing. It's really hard. But you can attach anecdotes to existing stories and then they get some attention.

So the George Floyd thing was attached to a national story. You can argue whether it was a true or false story but you can't argue that it was a national high-level story about Black citizens being abused by cops. So because it was already a story, any video especially, and it's the video that makes it extra strong. It's not the video alone. It still could have been a story without the video but I think you'd all agree the video gave it that extra power. So I think I said on Twitter it has to be on video. Let me adjust that to say it doesn't have to be on video but it's way way way stronger if it is.

So the problem with the child who was killed by the neighbor is it does not attach to any national story. And when the conservative side of the world tried to do that and say hey this is a story too, why are you ignoring it, why are you being hypocrites, they weren't. They weren't being hypocrites because the child who was killed, as tragic as that is and unique in its way in a bad way, it just doesn't attach to a national story.

But suppose the Democrats had run that same story. It would have been a gun control story. A gun control story, right? It would have been a story about there are too many guns and therefore look what happened, this kid got shot. But because the races were the wrong races it doesn't fit in with the Black Lives Matter story. It doesn't fit in with the protesters. So places like CNN would be disinclined to attach it to a national story about gun control because it would work against their other propaganda. Now that part's true. But if you're a conservative I wouldn't try too hard, his name is Cannon Hinnant if that's the right name, so I wouldn't try too hard to get this attached to a national story if you're a conservative because it's going to get attached to gun control.

Now you might say to yourself but wait Scott, what about the national story of Black on white murder? What about that? Because and I looked that up just to see what the stats are on that. And I think it's something like, I actually have those stats. And it's always hard to find stats when you're talking in public and looking for your stats. You can never find your stats. How the hell did I not find that? Oh here it is. There are more than twice as many Black on white homicides compared to white on Black. So the Black population is 13% of the country, white is 80 something percent, but they have roughly equal number of crimes against the other which would mean that the Black on white crime as a percentage would be sky high.

Now why is that not a national story? Do you ever ask yourself that? Why is it not a national story that white people are being slaughtered by Black people? Now I use the word slaughtered to get myself cancelled because that's the part that will be taken out of context. That's a lot of murder. There's a lot of murder going on. What is it? It can't be 80. What's the percentage? Oh you know what it does, I think in the stats the Hispanic population was added to the standard white population. So I think when they do the stats they're adding Hispanic and white together as one category. So then it gets into the 80s. Not that you would do that necessarily but that's what it is.

So ask yourself why is that not a national story? Now of course you can explain it by income groups and stuff like that but it is not a story that you could tell without getting cancelled. Can you imagine any national news program doing a story about the epidemic of Black people killing white people? You can't really. You can't even imagine it in this country. That could never happen. And because data can be used to make any case you want you could simply reverse and say oh sure but white people are killing just as many Black people so you know it's about equal. Well my point is that we sort of decide what the story is and then thing
