Like, I'm watching my quad box here.

Nobody is talking about Alex Peretti today.

After that video came out, they've actually shifted to talking a lot about the FBI seizing 700 boxes in Atlanta.

All that mattered for the past, once he was shot, all that mattered was his past history in life as evidence of why he shouldn't have been shot.

I also think this is so incredibly important associated with this, and it is this fact.

As he was engaging in this behavior, he should have been arrested.

We've got to arrest all of these people because if we don't, in addition to the fact that they're radicalized, Buck, when he kicked the taillight of that car out and when he spit on ICE agents and nothing happened to him, it emboldens him to act out more recklessly because he's seen what he can get away with.

And so we're actually the empathy here of not arresting these protesters is actually toxic in the end result, because I do think if he'd been arrested that time, I think he probably would be alive today.

I really do.

You hit on something that I want to continue to hammer and I think should be standard in America.

If you accuse someone of a crime, it could be a sex crime, it could be any crime, and you are able to be proven to have lied, which actually is becoming very common now because there's lots of text message evidence, the technology as such.

you should be charged and face the exact same punishment that the person would have faced if you had been able to convict them.

In other words, if you accuse someone of rape and you made that up, like the Duke Lacrosse case,

When you are proven to be a liar, as happened in Duke Lacrosse, she should have faced the exact same punishment that all of those Duke Lacrosse players would have faced if they had been convicted.

There's a mutuality.

I think there should be a mutuality in the law because we have to treat lies as more consequential because, again, to your point, Buck, process is the punishment.

Once you're a guy, if you're accused of rape,

They put your name out everywhere.

Everybody sees it.

You may get kicked out of school.
