Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Sen Hawley calls for investigation of St Louis circuit attorney
>> WILL YOU PARDON THEM?
>> WILL YOU PARDON THEM?
>> WITHOUT A DOUBT, SEAN.
I WILL DO EVERYTHING WITHIN THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF
MISSOURI TO PROTECT LAW-ABIDING
CITIZENS, AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE
EXACTLY THAT THEY ARE
LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AND THEY
ARE BEING ATTACKED FRANKLY BY A
POLITICAL PROCESS THAT’S REALLY
UNFORTUNATE.
IT’S A SAD DAY FOR MISSOURI.
STEVE: MISSOURI GOVERNOR MIKE
PARSON SIGNALING A PARDON FOR
THE ST. LOUIS COUPLE AROUND FOR
DEFENDING THEIR HOME.
JOSH HAWLEY, GOOD MORNING TO
YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING.
STEVE: NOBODY LAWS LAW THE LAWS
MISSOURI THAN YOU CASTLE
DOCTRINE WHAT’S GOING ON?
>> THEY DID HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO
WHAT THEY DID.
THEY WERE STANDING ON THEIR OWN
PROPERTY.
LET’S REVIEW THE FACTS.
THEY WERE ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY.
THEY WERE CARRYING LAWFUL
FIREARMS THAT THEY LAWFULLY
POSSESSED AND TRESPASSERS BROKEN
DOWN A GAIT AND COMING ON TO
THEIR PROPERTY AND A COUPLE SAID
GET OFF OUR PROPERTY.
DON’T HURT US.
GET OFF OF OUR AREA AND THEY HAD
EVERY RIGHT TO DO THAT.
THIS PROSECUTOR IS TOTALLY OUT
OF CONTROL.
THIS IS REALLY AN ABUSE OF
POWER.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT AN
ABUSE OF POWER LOOKS LIKE?
THIS IS TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE.
THAT’S WHY I THINK, STEVE, THE
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE NEEDS TO OPEN A CIVIL
RIGHTS INVESTIGATION INTO THE
ST. LOUIS CIRCUIT ATTORNEY’S
OFFICE.
STEVE: WELL, AND YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT THE ST. LOUIS CIRCUIT
ATTORNEY KIMBERLY GARNER IS THE
ONE WHO BROUGHT THESE CHARGES
YESTERDAY.
YOU HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER.
YOU ARE ASKING THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL BILL BARR TO LAUNCH A
CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION THAT
THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS REGARDING THE
RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS HAVE BEEN
INFRINGE DOLLARS.
>> EXACTLY RIGHT THEIR YOU WILL
CIVIL RIGHTS.
THIS SAME PROSECUTOR HAS HAD
DOZENS, DOZENS OF VIOLENT
RIOTERS AND LOOTERS BROUGHT TO
HER BY THE ST. LOUIS POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND SHE HASN’T
PROSECUTED THEM.
SHE HAS LET THEM GO.
SHE HAS TURNED THEM BACK OUT
INTO THE STREET AND THEN SHE
GOES AFTER THIS COUPLE WHO ARE
ABSOLUTELY ENTITLED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, THE
MISSOURI CONSTITUTION AND
MISSOURI LAW TO PROTECT THEIR
OWN PROPERTY.
IT’S A TERRIBLE MISCARRIAGE OF
JUSTICE.
>> IS THIS A POLITICAL HIT JOB,
SENATOR?
>> LOOKS LIKE IT TO ME.
I MEAN, I DON’T KNOW HOW ELSE
YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHY YOU WOULD
BRING A LAWSUIT THAT IS PLAINLY
PROHIBITED BY MISSOURI LAW FOR
RIGHTS THAT ARE PROTECTED BY THE
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
STEVE: RIGHT.
WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
THAT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
MEANWHILE RIGHT NOW, FOLKS, YOU
ARE WATCHING THE SENATOR IS
ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE BRAND NEW
CHINA LEGISLATION.
HAVE YOU STARTED A #SLAVE-FREE
SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN.
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
>> I WANT TO CHALLENGE THESE
MAJOR AMERICAN CORPORATIONS LIKE
NIKE, LIKE THE NBA, WHO RELY ON
FORCED SLAVE LABOR OVERSEAS TO
MAKE THEIR PRODUCTS.
THE NBA IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE.
ALL OF THE UNIFORMS THAT THE
PLAYERS WEAR, SO MANY OF THEM
THAT REN DOORED THE PRODUCT
LINES ENDORSED BY NBA LAWS ARE
MADE WITH FORCED LABOR IN CHINA
AND ELSEWHERE.
UIGHUR CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR
INSTANCE HELP MAKE THOSE NIKE
UNIFORMS THAT THE NBA WEARS.
THEY SHOULD PLEDGE RIGHT NOW,
NIKE, THE NBA AND ALL THESE
AMERICAN CORPORATIONS THAT THEY
WILL NOT USE FORCED SLAVE LABOR.
AND I WOULD CHALLENGE THE NBA,
ADAM SILVER.
I WOULD CHALLENGE ALL THE
ENDORSERS OF NIKE PRODUCTS LIKE
LEBRON TO TAKE A PLEDGE THAT
THEY WILL BE SLAVE-FREE.
THAT THEY WILL NOT USE IN THEIR
PRODUCT LINES SLAVE LABOR.
WE HAVE STARTED THE #SLAVE-FREE.
AND I WOULD CHALLENGE ALL OF
THOSE CORPORATE LEADERS.
I WOULD CHALLENGE ALL OF THE
ENDORSERS OF THESE PRODUCTS TO
TAKE THIS PLEDGE.
THEY CAN’T TAKE IT BECAUSE THEIR
PRODUCT LINES AREN’T SLAVE-FREE
THEN THEY NEED TO DROP THE
PRODUCT LINE.
STEVE: SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE
DIDN’T REALIZE.
KEEP US POSTED ON THAT, SENATOR.
