Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Mark McCloskey may face prison time after defending his home, joins Tucker

THREATENING TO KILL THEM.

NONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO DID THAT

WILL FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR THEM.

MARK MARK MCCLOSKEY FACES FOUR

YEARS IN PRISON AND UP TO A

$10,000 CRIME FOR THE CRIME OF

DEFENDING HIMSELF WHEN NO ONE

ELSE WOULD.

MARK MCCLOSKEY JOINS US TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING ON.

I CAN’T IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL.

LIKE YOU HAVE WOKEN UP IN A

COUNTRY YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE.

TELL US WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW

LEGALLY, IF U.N.

>> WELL, IT’S TOTALLY UPSIDE

DOWN WORLD, TUCKER.

THE PEOPLE WHO BROKE INTO MY

NEIGHBORHOOD WERE ALL

TRESPASSING.

THE GUY THAT RECRUITED IT, THEY

PLANNED THIS EVENT, SAID THE

NEXT DAY THAT HE INTENDED TO

BREAK THE LAW, THAT HE NEEDED TO

BREAK LAWS IN ORDER TO SEND HIS

MESSAGE.

NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE

ARRESTED.

NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE

CHARGED.

THE PROSECUTOR, THE CIRCUIT

ATTORNEY HAS APPARENTLY DECIDED

HER JOB AS A PROSECUTOR ISN’T TO

KEEP US SAFE FROM CRIMINALS BUT

TO KEEP THE CRIMINALS SAY FROM

US.

IT’S A BIZARRE UPSIDE DOWN WORLD

WORLD.

I’VE BEEN A LITTLE IRRITATED BY

THIS PROCESS UNTIL TODAY AND NOW

I AM JUST FLAT OUT PISSED OFF.

IT’S OUTRAGEOUS.

>> Tucker: YOU SHOULD BE

AFRAID TOO.

THE FORCE OF THE STATE IS COMING

DOWN ON YOU FOR THE MOST BASIC

RIGHTS THAT EXIST, THE RIGHT OF

SELF-DEFENSE.

ARE YOU GOING TO STAY IN A PLACE

THAT SEEKS TO PUT YOU IN PRISON

FOR DEFENDING YOURSELF?

>> YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS TO

STAND UP AND DO WHAT’S RIGHT.

I’M NOT GOING TO BE BULLIED.

I’M NOT GOING TO BE INTIMIDATED.

THE LEFT, THE MOB USES SOCIAL

INTIMIDATION AND THREATS TO GET

PEOPLE TO KNUCKLE UNDER AND

APOLOGIZE FOR DOING WHAT’S

RIGHT.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE

FOR DOING WHAT’S RIGHT.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO BACK DOWN

AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO MOVE.

PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP, WAKE UP

AND RECOGNIZE IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

IT’S A CONCERTED EFFORT TO

DESTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE, TO

CHANGE THE FUNDAMENTAL BASIC

SOCIAL CONTRACT, TO DO AWAY WITH

CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY AND REPLACE

IT WITH MOB RULE.

ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE, PROTECTING

CRIMINALS FROM PROSECUTING

PEOPLE TO TRY TO DEFEND

THEMSELVES AGAINST IT.

IT’S A BIZARRE WORLD.

IT’S TIME FOR PEOPLE TO WAKE UP

AND PAY ATTENTION TO IT.

>> Tucker: HAS ANYONE

EXPLAINED WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED

TO DO IN A SITUATION WHERE THE

POLICE WOULD NOT RESPOND, THEY

WOULD NOT COME TO PROTECT YOU

DESPITE THE FACT YOU PAY THEM

AND PRIVATE SECURITY WOULDN’T

COME EITHER, PROBABLY FOR FEAR

OF BEING SUED.

WHAT WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO

ONCE PEOPLE BREAK IN AND START

THREATENING YOU?

>> WHAT VARIOUS COMMENTATORS

HAVE SUGGESTED IS WE SHOULD HAVE

GONE INSIDE AND FILM THEM WITH

OUR CELL PHONES.

WELL, DO YOU WANT TO HAVE 300

PEOPLE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE

BREAKING STUFF, SETTING FIRES

AND KILLING YOU OR WOULD YOU

RATHER STOP THEM WHEN THEY ARE

OUTSIDE.

WE CHOSE TO STOP THEM FROM

COMING IN.

>> Tucker: WHAT’S GOING TO

HAPPEN NOW?

DO YOU HAVE A FEAR OF GOING TO

PRISON?

>> YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW.

I HAVE VERY LITTLE FAMILIARITY

WITH CRIMINAL PROCESS.

WE HAVE GOTTEN SUPPORT NOW FROM

THE WHITE HOUSE ON DOWN.

GOVERNOR PARSON, THE SENATOR,

ERIC SCHMIDT, OUR ATTORNEY

GENERAL.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY PERSON IN

THE UNITED STATES THE THINGS WE

DID SOMETHING WRONG IS OUR

SURROGATE ATTORNEY.

SHE IS THE SAME PERSON THAT LET

OUT OF JAIL EVERYBODY THAT WAS

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOOTING AND

FIRES AND DESTRUCTION FOLLOWING

THE GEORGE FLOYD DEATH IN THE

CITY OF ST. LOUIS.

THE ONLY PEOPLE SHE WANTS TO

PROSECUTE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT

DEFENDED THEMSELVES AGAINST IT

AND NOBODY ELSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

>> Tucker: SO YOU BETTER

TARGET OF CRIME.

YOU HAVEN’T BACKED DOWN.

YOU’VE GONE ON TELEVISION

REPEATEDLY.

PEOPLE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.

AND THE STATE HAS NOW

CONFISCATED YOUR FIREARMS SO YOU

CAN PROTECT YOURSELF.

ON WHAT GROUNDS DID THEY DO

THAT?

THOSE WERE LEGALLY REGISTERED AS

FAR AS I UNDERSTAND.

>> I GUESS THE TECHNICALITY OF

THE LAW IS THEY HAVE TO

DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE

WEAPONS WERE CAPABLE OF BEING

FATAL OR CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY

HARM.

SO THEY HAVE TO TAKE THEM AND

TEST THEM AND THAT SORT OF

THING.

THERE WILL BE SOME REVELATIONS

TO COME OUT ABOUT THAT BUT THE

BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE POLICE,

I’VE SAID THIS BEFORE, THE

POLICE WHO CAME OUT TO ISSUE THE

WARRANT DIDN’T WANT TO HAVE TO

DO IT.

THEY KNEW THEY WERE JUST DOING

THEIR JOB.

THEY WERE VERY POLITE ABOUT IT

BUT NONETHELESS, YOU’RE RIGHT.

THEY PRESENT THE MOB AND THEN

STRIP US OF OUR ABILITY TO

DEFEND AGAINST IT.

>> Tucker: IT’S ALMOST

UNBELIEVABLE.

I APPRECIATE YOUR COMING ON

TONIGHT.
