Drake has already issued his take on this interview between Thomas Lane's lawyer and CNN host Chris Cuomo, but there's quite a bit more to unpack from it.
Lane, one of the four police officers responsible for the death of George Floyd, had his lawyer, Earl Gray conduct an interview with Chris Cuomo where they discussed Lane's defense and the case. The interview resulted in a few incendiary remarks on Gray's side.
Gray attempted to flip things so that was it the public's fault that Floyd died, which Cuomo stopped immediately to counter. "If the public is there and they're so in an uproar about this, they didn't intercede either," Gray said, referring to those who witnessed and filmed the murder.
"I understand that he has a senior officer telling him what to do, but he also has a duty to intervene," Cuomo said. "The idea that the civilians should have rushed in to a policing situation in the inner city of Minneapolis against four police officers that have weapons and are kneeling on the kneck of a man- don't you think that's asking too much of civilians and a little too little of your client?"

Gray doesn't seem to have anything else to say in response to Cuomo's remarks but agree. "Absolutely," he said before stumbling over his words, "I just brought that up..." You can watch this particular clip in the tweet below.
Elsewhere in the interview, Gray cited the fact that it was only Lane's fourth full day on the job, and Chauvin was his senior training officer. He also referenced the fact that Lane suggested they roll Floyd over on his side, which Chauvin ignored.
"What's telling, what's compelling, is when the ambulance comes, my client goes in the ambulance," Gray said. "Four days on the force, goes in the ambulance and starts his own CPR, pushing down on the chest, which he did for a lengthy period of time, until he got the machine up, attempting to revive Mr. Floyd."
As we reported on earlier, Lane is apparently soliciting donations from the public in his court fight.
Joe Rogan Guest Tim Pool Explains How Chris Cuomo Faked Having Coronavirus
Joe Rogan and Tim Pool travel down the rabbit hole, divulging information about misleading mainstream media news reports in the process.
Joe Rogan's latest podcast guest is Tim Pool, an independent news journalist, who previously broke ground at VICE News, where he actually helped found the VICE News vertical. He's been on Rogan's podcast in the past, de-bunking various news stories, and mainstream media outlet coverage. Today he's back, and you guessed it, the conversation is centered around Coronavirus and the media's coverage of the pandemic.
Approximately thirty minutes into the new episode, Tim Pool reveals that Chris Cuomo, a CNN news anchor, faked his entire COVID-19 diagnosis-- if you've been keeping up with the news, you've surely seen this headline circulate constantly, and the various updated on the news anchor's alleged bout of Coronavirus and how it was affecting his daily life.
"You know they faked that whole thing, right?" Tim Pool asks Rogan, referring to Chris Cuomo and CNN.
Tim Pool goes on to explain the story:
"Chris Cuomo was spotted thirty minutes from his house, on a property with a new construction being built. A guy on the bike saw him, they got into it. Chris Cuomo goes on his radio show and says, 'I want this jackass on a fat-tire bike coming up to me...' The guy on the bike said he called the cops, and says he threatened me. So this basically confirms the encounter. Chris Cuomo then shot a segment for CNN of him emerging from his basement like, 'this is what I've been dreaming of, finally getting out of the basement, seeing my kids.' But he was witnessed seeing his kids somewhere else."
You can watch that basement clip in question below.
Pool continued, "You even had Ben Smith of the New York Times call this out [...] Everybody knows Cuomo faked it, he wasn't in quarantine, he was out with two woman and three kids, so we can assume it was his wife and kids or whatever."
He added, "CNN's called an authoritative source. They're lying in our faces."
