Leave it to a show as woke as CBS’s FBI: Most Wanted to come up with a fall finale where an entire “sundown town’s” police force is a “racist” “gang” of murderers out killing innocent black people to supposedly clean up the county’s drug problem. But it gets even worse. The episode was titled “The Electric Company” because the police are using tasers to murder their victims and proudly call themselves by that name. Yes, seriously. The episode opens in Archer County, Maryland, where two, white intruders attack a black man, Emanuel “Manny” Birdsong (Apollo Levine) in front of his wife and child and tase him to death when he won’t tell them where his supposed drug stash is. They dump his body in a Virginia swamp where other bodies from the same county end up being found. When FBI Agent Ray Cannon (Edwin Hodge), who is black, learns the victim is from Archer County, he remarks, “Archer County was once referred to as a ‘sundown town.’ Probably still is. It's home to the Eastern Shores' most rabid bigots. My father said they were burning crosses there till the early '70s.” The team sets out to investigate and first attempts to question Manny’s wife, who is white, but she flees. When Ray catches her and asks why she ran, she tells him, “I don’t like cops.” “I get that,” he replies. The team eventually learns Manny was killed with a Taser which they trace to Archer County Deputy Eli Nelson (Andy Favreau). They interview Sheriff Blake (John Bedford Lloyd) who turns out to be a perfect caricature of a corrupt, racist cop covering for his team of equally corrupt officers: Sheriff: Look, we got a lot of bad actors in this county who would like nothing more than to pin a charge on one of my boys. Nina: Well, let's just take a look at your Taser logs, then. You know, I'd like to see if Eli used his device on the night that's in question. Sheriff: We don't keep logs on our Tasers. Nina: How come? Sheriff: Because I trust the men who work for me. Nina: Convenient. Remy: Electric Company. What's this? Sheriff: Well, that's kind of an inside joke around here. That's my anti-crime unit. They collared a murderer who, you know, eventually got the chair. Nina: So, who's everyone in the picture with you? Sheriff: That's Dobbs, Harvey, and Eli Nelson. So, now that we have cracked the case of the missing Taser cartridges, I'll be taking over this murder investigation. We like to clean up our own garbage here in Archer County, so you guys can just go home. Remy: Take a look at these faces, because we're sticking around here for a while. Sheriff Blake can barely stand being in the same room with us. That means we're onto something. Nina: Yeah, but it wasn't his department that requested our assistance. It was Virginia. So, do we need to run this by Isobel? Remy: Already did. By the way, no one's ever gotten the chair in Maryland. That whole "Electric Company" story? Bunch of caca. Nina: Okay. Update from Quantico Forensic Lab. All three victims in the Virginia swamp died of cardiac arrest. Remy: Consistent with being lethally tased by the Electric Company. Nina: There's also evidence of blunt-force trauma on all three victims, and Manny Birdsong had fractured ribs and a broken jaw. Remy: They roughed him up and electrocuted him before they dumped him in that swamp. This profiles as renegade cops who believe they're doing the right thing by taking matters into their own hands- judge, jury, and executioner. Let's deconflict with the county D.A. before we track them down. I don't want this dumbass sheriff mucking things up. The county D.A., also white, ends up defending the cops because the county’s lowered drug crime rate reflects well on her. Meanwhile Eli and his partner, Deputy Logan Dobbs (Shane Patrick) boldly plant the Taser used in Manny’s murder in the car of another innocent black man, Ronnie, who they refer to as “a real piece of trash.” They then force a black, male teen to call in a “tip” about the Taser’s location by threatening to arrest him for the pot he’s smoking. Logan chastises the teen’s white, female friend, who was also smoking pot, for hanging out with a “loser.” “You should know better,” he admonishes her. FBI agents Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) and Ray Cannon (Edwin Hodge), both black, get pulled over in the county for speeding, and the scene is astoundingly absurd, even for a woke Hollywood drama: Ray: Is there a problem, Officer? Sheriff: Hands on the wheel, son. Ray: First of all, I'm not your son. Sheryll: Ray. Just so you know, we're both FBI agents, and we're here on official business, and we're both carrying sidearms. Sheriff: Is that so? Does that give you the right to do 80 on a 45? Ray: This is an emergency vehicle. I'm authorized. Sheriff: Not in Archer County, you don't. Ray: Right. Look, we'll slow it down, all right? Sheriff: All right. Why don't you exit the vehicle? You too, ma'am. Sheryll: Is that really necessary? Deputy: Are you telling us how to do our jobs? Sheryll: No, I'm not telling you how to do your job. Deputy: Get out of the car! Ray: Well, I need you to de-escalate. Sheryll: Ray, let's get out the car. Ray: I'm not getting out the car, Sheryll. Sheryll: Let's get out the car. Ray: I'm not getting out the car. Sheryll: Ray, let's get out the car. Come on. Deputy: Move. Ray: What is this really about? Sheryll: I am moving. Don't tell me to move. Ray: We've already identified ourselves, all right? Sheryll: I'm moving, okay? So, you don't need to tell me to move. Ray: This ain't right. Deputy: Turn around. Ray: Don't tell me to turn around, man. Sheryll: I don't need to turn around. I didn't do anything. Deputy: You really wanna do this right now? Sheryll: Do I wanna do what? Deputy: Turn around! Ray: Get your hands off of her! Deputy: Stay back! Sheryll: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, what the hell are you doing? He didn't do anything! Deputy: Stay down! Stay down! Sheryll: He didn't do anything! Deputy: Stay down! Sheryll: He didn't do anything! Sheriff: Welcome to Archer County. I mean, technically, they weren’t following orders and Ray lunged at the officer, but yeah, it was obviously targeted racism knowing they were FBI agents. Agents Remy (Dylan McDermott) and Nina (Shantel VanSanten) meanwhile interview Ronnie’s son James (Denzel Rodriquez) who warns how deep the county’s corruption runs: James: All right, the night that guy Manny got killed, I was at home with my pop watching the Wizards play on the West Coast. Remy: Wizards fan. Woof. That's rough. James: Not as rough as being framed for murder. Thing is, I crashed out on the sofa after the game. My pop never left the house. Nina: So, that's a strong alibi. Does his public defender know? James: Yeah, I told him, but that doesn't matter. Nobody's gonna believe us. Nina: Why not? James: It's just the way it is out here. Remy: Why are you so worried, James? James: My father wouldn't do something like this. Never. Everybody I know thinks that Manny was killed by the Electric Company. Remy: And? James: Word on the street was that Manny was dealing. Whether that's true or not, I can't say. But Sheriff Blake and his Electric Company crew, that's how they roll with that situation- Tasers and beat-downs. They say that they're cleaning up the drug problem in this county? Yeah, maybe. But there's a trail of dead and broken bodies along the way. Last year, I got stopped by Nelson and Dobbs. Said they were looking for meth. They tore apart my car and they tased me. Nina: Did you tell anybody about this? James: You kidding me? The last person to complain to Sheriff Blake disappeared. Yeah, that was him sending a message. You open your mouth, The Electric Company crew will bust down your door in the middle of the night on some anonymous tip. Remy: Like what happened to Manny. James: Yeah. I know five, six people. Same thing. Look, I can't talk to you anymore. I gotta get back to work. Remy: This whole damn county is going to the dark side. We need to talk to the U.S. Attorney in Baltimore. As the episode’s end nears, the U.S. Attorney thankfully believes the FBI’s suspicions and takes them seriously: Attorney: I’ve heard rumors of law enforcement corruption in Archer County from time to time, but nothing we could verify. Remy: Corruption is one thing, but this is a systematic policy of intimidation, brutality, and murder. There's an entire community living in fear of a handful of deputies who operate like a street gang. Hana: And a county DA who turns a blind eye in the name of a drug war. Attorney: Other than the case you're working, is there any criminal activity you could substantiate? Remy: We just spoke with someone who might be willing to break the ice. He has a list of other victims. Nina: Plus, we may have eyewitnesses and medical records to corroborate his story. Attorney: And why might this brave soul be willing to come forward now? Remy: His father is being framed for murder committed by these cops. Attorney: So, he has a bone to pick? Remy: No, no, no. This young man is absolutely credible. Attorney: If that's the case, I'm on board. Give me the name of your targets, and I'll have arrest warrants within the hour. Then I'll need to talk to your informant myself. Remy: It's not gonna be easy to round up these hooligans in their own back yard. They have a network of co-conspirators and nothing to lose. Nina: We need to speak with James Mccaffrey. We need to make sure that he's willing to cooperate with us before things get ugly. Remy: Barnes and Ray will scoop him up at his job and bring him here. The FBI attempts to persuade James into becoming a witness, but as he steps into his car, it immediately explodes. You can probably figure out who the culprit was: Ray: This has the Electric Company written all over it, Remy. Look, he was innocent, and they lynched him! Nina: Look, somebody had to have found out that he was talking with us, Remy. Hana: We can use this to get justice for James Mccaffrey's father. Sheryll: Well, how's that gonna work now that they murdered his son? Remy: We still have the arrest warrants, and the U.S. Attorney can convene a grand jury. Let's go round up these sons of bitches. Hana: I've got bolos on their personal vehicles. Sheryll: What the hell does he want? What the hell does he want? Sheriff: Hey! Why wasn't I notified about this? Remy: You know exactly why. Sheriff: Oh, you think I had a hand in this? Remy: Damn right, I do. Sheriff: Oh, I should have put down your candy ass when I had the chance. Now, clear your people off of my crime scene so I can get to work here. Remy: Your deputies murdered a witness in a federal prosecution. They have 24 hours to surrender. In the meantime, if you don't turn around and get back in your vehicle, I'm gonna arrest you for obstruction, you racist pig. That's right. You heard me. Get him out of here! Deputy: Come on, boss. Sheriff: Let's go home! Remy: We're not waiting until tomorrow. Let's split up and get these dirtbags before they rack up even more bodies to cover their tracks. In the end, the FBI gets enough evidence against The Electric Company to take them all into custody, minus one who shot himself. It seems quite unfair that one hit CBS procedural drama that always respected blue lives just aired their series finale after being canceled by the network while this woke garbage of a show gets to continue on. But that’s Hollywood’s priorities for you, sadly.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) held a briefing Wednesday about state and local efforts to increase safety within the New York City subway system. Although Hochul did her apparent best to put a positive spin on the state of play, a reporter took some of the wind out of her sails with unfavorable facts. Hochul noted that in March, she and NYC Mayor Eric Adams promised to make the city's subways safer. In hopes of curbing crime, the governor deployed 250 members from the New York State Police and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department to help with "enhanced" baggage checks at heavily trafficked areas and 750 members of the New York National Guard to supplement such efforts. The previous month, Adams ordered an additional 1,000 officers to join the law enforcement presence in the subway following a 45% spike in major crimes in January as compared with the same time last year — a year that reportedly saw 570 reports of felony assault on trains or in stations, the highest number in over 20 years. Extra to increased manpower, Hochul announced that the MTA would accelerate the installation of security cameras inside trains and train stations to aid law enforcement in apprehending criminals transiting the system. The New York City subway reportedly now has cameras on every subway car. 'Murders are up 200%.' The governor's office noted Wednesday, just hours after a maniac reportedly stabbed a straphanger aboard a Brooklyn train, that Hochul's safety plan "has laid a strong foundation for enhancing the safety and protection of transit workers across New York City." "A lot of people didn't think we'd make a difference," Hochul told reporters. "Thanks to our five-point plan to improve public safety, subway safety, subway crime is down 10% just since last March. In only two years since the year 1970 have we had fewer subway crimes than we had this past year." The presence of additional law enforcement officials and members of the National Guard appears to have made some difference. After all, the New York Police Department observed a 15.8% reduction in overall crime last month and a year-to-date decrease in crime of 6.3%. "This crime reduction directly reflects the relentless effort and dedication of our hardworking women and men in uniform, and I look forward to further successes across all crime categories," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a Dec. 3 statement. While similarly optimistic, Hochul noted Wednesday, "You'll never hear me say, 'Mission accomplished.' We'll never declare victory because if there's a single crime on the subway or anywhere, it's a crime too many." During the subsequent question period, WABC-TV's N.J. Burkett noted, "You can say a lot of things with statistics, and I see the percentage that crime is down 42% since 2021. But if you look back to pre-pandemic — and I know you like to say that overall, crime is down 12% since the pandemic — but murders are up 200%, felony assault is up 55%, and burglary is up 140%." "So are you saying that this is progress?" asked Burkett, clarifying he was referring to crime in the transit system. Hochul punted the question, leaving MTA chairman Janno Lieber struggling to provide a satisfactory answer. "The numbers that we're talking about in the individual categories of crime are, you know, small or ... you know, very, very, very low double digits, so they do move around," said Lieber. "We're not saying there's — there's nothing you heard from me or the governor, not just today but ever, that suggests that we think that crime is not a problem. What you did hear is significant indicators of progress, which is overall crime, way down, and we're seeing passenger comfort levels as reflected in surging ridership way up." Hochul indicated that during the Christmas season, an additional 250 National Guard members will patrol the subway, deterring crime and generating a sense of security. The governor's office noted in a statement, "The MTA Police Department, New York Police Department (NYPD) and the National Guard will work together to monitor the city's busiest stations and prevent security threats within the subways. Protecting the subway system and its passengers is the only way to keep New York moving." Like Blaze News?

Florida officials continue to accuse federal agents of hampering the state-level investigation into the second assassination attempt on President-elect Donald Trump now that suspect Ryan Routh faces an attempted murder charge in connection with a 6-year-old girl who is still fighting for her life.On Wednesday, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced that Routh had been charged with attempted felony murder after a 6-year-old girl was seriously injured in a car crash that occurred while Routh was being apprehended.'When you couple those terrible injuries together with [Routh's] other criminal conduct, which we believe rises to the level of domestic terrorism, it turns his actions into an attempted felony murder case.'After Routh allegedly escaped Trump International Golf Club on September 15, he reportedly hopped into a getaway car. An eyewitness almost immediately "locked eyes" with the suspect and was able to give police a general description of the vehicle and the license plate, the affidavit claimed.That vehicle, a black Nissan Xterra, was soon afterward spotted heading northbound on Interstate 95 in Martin County at around mile marker 110, according to the affidavit. Though the vehicle safely came to a stop along the highway, officers were concerned that explosives may be hidden inside it, so they stopped traffic in both directions, causing a significant pile-up.Around 3 p.m. that day, about 35 minutes after the suspect's vehicle was stopped, an accident involving five cars occurred "3 or 4 miles south of the felony stop." In one of the cars was a family who had just been visiting the Bush Wildlife Sanctuary. During the crash, their vehicle had been rear-ended with such force that a 6-year-old girl sitting in the second row and wearing a seatbelt suffered "life-threatening" injuries and had to be airlifted to a hospital, where she still remains, the affidavit claimed."We felt compelled to seek justice on her behalf and her family that will never be the same as they cope with her injuries," Moody said at a press conference on Wednesday."When you couple those terrible injuries together with [Routh's] other criminal conduct, which we believe rises to the level of domestic terrorism, it turns his actions into an attempted felony murder case," she added.During her remarks, Moody also called out federal agencies for allegedly thwarting state efforts to investigate the crash and the would-be attempt on Trump's life. "As a former federal prosecutor, I have never seen such unwillingness or lack of communication," Moody claimed."They responded that we should not bring charges," she continued. "The excuse and the reasoning kept coming back to the need to protect the case and national security."She made a similar statement in a press release from her office. "Under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, we vowed to bring transparency and accountability to the investigation into the second assassination attempt of President Trump," she said. "Despite the federal government frustrating our efforts, which we continue to challenge in court, we found that Mr. Routh’s actions caused catastrophic injuries to a six-year-old girl."DeSantis, who wanted to attend the press conference but was prevented by inclement weather, likewise claimed that federal agencies had "stonewalled Florida’s investigation of the Trump assassination attempt at every turn."Both DeSantis and Moody also expressed optimism that such alleged federal interference and obstruction will end under the second Trump administration."The tide will turn on January 20, and we fully expect that the federal roadblocks will be removed," DeSantis said."A new day is coming," Moody said, adding that she expects "new leadership" — especially attorney general nominee Pam Bondi and FBI director nominee Kash Patel — to "reach out" and work with state officials "as intended.""The people who have been nominated, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, love this country and what it is meant to be," she continued."I personally have strongly supported these nominations, leading efforts and writing to the Senate to promptly and thoroughly consider these nominations and to those senators that would advise and provide consent on the nominations of President-elect Trump."Like Blaze News?

Earlier this week, President-elect Donald Trump won the defamation lawsuit he brought against ABC News and its anchor George Stephanopoulos, who made inaccurate statements on air about verdicts in E. Jean Carroll’s civil lawsuits against Trump. The network has agreed to pay $15 million to Donald Trump’s presidential library, as well as $1 million of Trump’s legal fees. It also issued a public apology. Other outlets that made similar slanderous statements about Trump are now biting their nails, anxiously anticipating which network he might come for next. One of those outlets is CNN. “Jake Tapper over on CNN is very concerned that this won't be the end of Trump going after the media,” says Dave Rubin, playing a clip of Tapper, who used to work at ABC, wearing his concern like a brightly colored garment. “This weekend, ABC News agreed to pay $16 million, including legal fees, to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Trump against the network and their anchor George Stephanopoulos,” said Tapper. “That obviously will not be the end of this ... legal campaign against the media,” he added, calling it “wildly ridiculous.” “By having a settlement with ABC, one that many people did not think was going to come to fruition ... has empowered and emboldened Donald Trump,” added CNN contributor Kristen Holmes. “Tapper obviously is concerned because he has been at CNN one of the chief liars about Trump,” says Dave. “He's looking over there, looking at his former employer, ABC News ... and going, ‘Oh, s***.”’ Want more from Dave Rubin?To enjoy more honest conversations, free speech, and big ideas with Dave Rubin, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
