During his speech in California this past Friday, Donald Trump told the crowd that he will order federal authorities to immediately shoot anyone that is caught robbing a store. His enthusiasm for harshly punishing criminals might need to be scaled back, as he's not only facing 91 felony counts in four jurisdictions, but he's also just been told by a judge that he's guilty of fraud. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains how Trump is able to talk about crime without a hint of irony.

On Friday, Donald Trump went to California. And in addition to attempting to insult everyone in the state, including by the way, the wealthy donors that he met with after the speech, he said that the lack of water made them smell bad, the people in Beverly Hills. But that's not the important thing. That's not the big takeaway from Trump's speech. No, the important takeaway is that the man who is facing 91 felony counts in four different dur uh, jurisdictions, actually told the crowd too much applause that criminals should just be shot. Here is Donald Trump, in his own words, explaining how he thinks law enforcement should handle people who rob other people take a look and

When they're there, they'll knock the hell out of you and kill you in some cases. And we will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store shot

Shot. He reemphasized as the crowd went wild because, you know, robbing a store is apparently now a capital offense for which federal authorities, according to Donald Trump, what he would do as president, uh, they'll just shoot you on the spot, right? No arrest, no investigation, no trial by a jury of your peers. You're just immediately dead on the spot if you rob people. Now, that's a pretty bold statement. Again, coming from someone who has 91 felony charges against him, I would think that a man who understands that he is likely going to be convicted of at least one of those 91 charges, right? Um, maybe you shouldn't be out there calling for criminals to just be shot on site because within the next 12 months, that label could actually apply to you as well. So maybe tone down the let's go kill criminals talk, because again, that might be you in the very near future.

I mean, hell, three days before you gave that speech, a judge actually determined that you were guilty of fraud. Like you were kind of, in a sense robbing people and, and you said the robbers should be shot. So maybe tone down that language. Not to mention the fact that of course, Donald Trump was addressing crime in California because God knows Republicans can't go five seconds without talking about the crime rate in California. Ignoring the fact that in most cities, uh, most big cities in Florida, it's actually worse here than it is out there, but, you know, whatever. Um, and Republicans are cheering on a man with 91 felony counts as he talks about how bad crime is. Do you, do you see the irony here, folks, because I hope you do, because it's blinding me. This is where we're at with the Republican party. They will literally listen to a man who is most likely going to be found guilty of criminal charges whine about how bad crime is in this country. And they, they don't see a problem with it. They, they don't see why. That's a weird thing to do. Let me reiterate just for the fact here. Robbing a store is not a capital offense.

Police officers do not have the right to straight up murder. Anybody that they suspect may have robbed a store or anybody they suspect may have, you know, sold some drugs. Like you don't get to kill people on the street for that.
