• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Apparently laws don't even matter in this country anymore. It's
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the only public opinion that matters. And propaganda what I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: mean by that, Well, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democratic
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: politicians who rushed to defend Jesse Smolette have not apologized
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: or said that they got it wrong. Joe Biden tweeted
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: out the time when he was trying to become the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: president Knight States America, after Jesse Smolette, one of the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: stars of the television show Empire, was attacked quote in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Chicago by two assailant. Two yelled racial and homophobic slurs
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and we're Trump supporters wearing Maga hats, saying Maga America
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: or whatever. They wanted it to be investigated as a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: hate crime. Of course, right we all knew it wasn't true,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and this story was falling apart very quickly, but it
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: didn't matter because Joe Biden tweeted at the time, what
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: happened today to Jesse Smiletten must never be tolerated in
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this country. We must stand up in demand that we
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: no longer give this hate safe harbor, that homophobia and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: racism have no place in our streets or in our
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: hearts are with you, Jesse. Kamala Harris at the time said,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Jessee Smoletta is one of the kindest, most gentle human
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: beings I know, maybe at the bath house, but we'll
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: go with that in a moment. I'm praying for his
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: quick recovery. This was an attempt at modern day lynching,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and as soon as she said it, the rest of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the world went with it. It was a modern day lynching. Folks.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: No one should have to fear for their life because
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: this hate. Bernie Sanders at the time was also running
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for president. He said the races and homophobic attack on
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Jesse Smilett is a horrific instance of surging hostility towards
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: minorities around the country. There were no facts actually backed
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that up, but hey, you put out in the tweet
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it must be true, right. We must come together to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: eradicate all forms of bigotry and violence. He then tagged
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a see in an article which the fact checkers should,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of course fact check now and say that they're wrong.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: They won't, but they should empire. Actor Jesse Smilett was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: attacked early Tuesday morning and what Chicago police are calling
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a possible hate crime. Seen is, by the way, not
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: taking down this article yet. Smollett was attacked by two
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: people yelling out rachel and homophobic slurs and wearing Maga hats.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Of course right. Elizabeth Warren, at the time she was
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: running for president, said racism, homophobian, all forms of bigotry
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and hate have no place in this country. The fight
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for equality isn't over. No one should have to live
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in fear being beaten on the street because of who
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: they are. She then tagged an Entertainment Tonight tweet which
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is still up hashtag Empire star Jesse Smollett was hospitalized
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: after a possible hate crime. Attackers poured an unknown chemical
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: substance which we found out later was bleach, apparently trying
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to get rid of his black skin on him, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: wrapped a rope around his neck. Yes, because it was
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a news Corey booker, He said the vicious attack on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: actor Jessee Smilett was an attempted modern day lynching. You
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: see the trend now, right, We're going with modern day
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: lynching over and over again. I'm glad he's safe. To
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: those in Congress who don't feel the urgency to passnching
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: bill designated designating lynching as a federal hate crime. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: urge you to pay attention. Yeah, there it is. Now
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: we all know what really happened. This guy made it up.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He wanted to slander and become more famous by claiming
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that Trump supporters had attacked him. It was all lie.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get into that a little bit more
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in a moment, but I just wanted you to know
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that none of these politicians have taken down their old tweets,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and none of these politicians have apologized for getting it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: wrong and indicting all Trump supporters as evil, hateful people
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that are just trying to kill people in their maga
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: hats because they're gay or black. It was all not true,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: but hey, it worked for the election, right, it worked
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for the election. Now, before we get into that, I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: want to go back to my theme here, and I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hope every one of you listening will make sure that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you share our podcasts with all of this information in it,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: because there's another example of people just not abiding buy
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: or paying attention to what the laws say in this country.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What am I talking about now an even more shocking
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: story than Jesse Smolett. New York City is now allow
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand illegal immigrants they call them non citizens,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the right to vote in local elections, canceling out the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: votes of actual citizens who are American citizens. The legislation,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: approved by the City Council will set up a system
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: for legal residents to vote in municipal elections. I want
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you to hear how Fox describe this shocking news, which
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: means that an American citizen paying their taxes can have
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: their vote now canceled out in New York City by
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. Now, let's be clear, this is illegal, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: apparently the politicians don't care. You're can have a guy
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: fake his own lynching and it doesn't matter if they
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: get it wrong down the road, right, doesn't matter. Take
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a listen. Moving to allow eight hundred thousand immigrants who
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: are not US citizens but are legal residents to vote
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in local elections. City Council is expected to approve the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: legislation in a matter of weeks, greatly expanding the city's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: voter roles. Charlie Hurt his opinion editor for The Washington Times.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He is also a Fox News contributor. Chrydly, great to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: see you even in New York, I mean deep blue
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: New York. This has taken about two years to push
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this across the finish line, which is which is saying
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that because a lot of Democrats are skeptical. Even the mayor,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Bill Deblasio is not sure if this is legal. Now,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think you put your finger right on what to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: me is the most interesting thing about all of this
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: is that while all of this is you know, this
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is very purposeful, major well thought out designs of Democrat
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: leaders across the country, when you when you sort of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: take these issues down to regular Democrat voters across the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: country who care about things other than just Democrat power,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: these things are not as popular. You know, as you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: point out, the voters are very very skeptical of these things.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But I do think that this effort is a clear
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It shows how just how clearly Democrat politicians are are.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You know, this whole debate about illegal immigration and legal
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: immigration and the effort to make to legal people who
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: are here illegally is it's not about equity, it's not
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: about justice, it's not about diversity. It's all about cementing
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: or expanding Democrats political power. In this case New York
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: City but also also in Washington, DC. This is all
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: about political power, it's not about justice. The point he's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: making there, Charles Hurt, who is a Fox News contributing
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. It's what I've been saying for a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: long time. There is no crisis of the border if
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you're a Democrat right now. And the reason why is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: because you want as many illegal immigrants to come across
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the border as possible, because then you'll give them voting
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: rights in local elections. That solidifies your power. Eight hundred
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: thousand illegal immigrants will be able to cancel out the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: votes of actual American citizens in New York City. They
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: will be able to vote for the socialist leftists, right,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the socialist leftists that give them free crap. Now, imagine
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: how much you've got to be laughing if you're illegal
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: immigrant right now. I mean, you can't go down to Mexico,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you can't go to Canada, you can't go to Iran,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you can't go to Afghanistan, you can't go to Iraq,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you can't go to Venezuela. You can't go to Cuba
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and vote their elections. No one in the world lets
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you do this. So why is it happening now for
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: exactly what he said this is. This is about one
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: thing and one thing only. This is about power. This
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is about gaining power and keeping power and expanding power.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And you don't have enough American citizens that will buy
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: into this crap. So instead, what are you doing. You're
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: deciding to give power to illegal immigrants. And when you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: give that power to illegal immigrants, which is exactly what
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: they are doing on purpose, you are now taking away
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the ability for American citizens voices to be heard because
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you are selling out. You don't represent Americans anymore. You
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: represent illegal immigrants. This is how they expand their base.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You know, this goes back to what I said a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: while ago, and it's an important point that needs to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: be made. Democrats do not believe that there is a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: crisis in our southern border. They want to flood this
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: country of illegal immigrants because they believe it's the fastest
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: way to expand their power. Plain and simple. This is
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the fastest way to expand their power. And everybody knows it,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: by the way, like everybody does. Okay, everybody everybody in
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is in on this. They get it. Now,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you now have American citizens that have no rights in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: New York City and their vote means nothing because it
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is canceled out by the illegal immigrants. You pand or two.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: So you go to the illegal immigrants and you say, hey,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you vote for me, and I'm gonna give you something.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: What do you think they're gonna They're gonna sho vote.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: They're gonna laugh the whole time. And how stupid the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: United States of America is. This is what tyrants do,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, they find voters out of thin air.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And that's what the Democrats are doing, and they marginalize
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and take away the rights of the actual citizens while
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: doing it. That's all they did here. This is this
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is a fixed, rigged election in New York City. There's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: no such thing as a free and fair election moving
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: forward to New York City because of this. This is
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: no different than the elections that we're done under Saddam
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Hussein or Mubark or anybody else where. You got to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: vote for the guy, and if you don't, what happens.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: It's no different than the elections that they have in Russia.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Free and fair elections in New York City are now
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: are done with. They're over, and they're gonna try to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: slowly make it where they can then vote in the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: other elections like congressional elections, which is a national election.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: If you're an illegal immigrant moved to New York City, right,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you have actual rights, you have you have more rights
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: with less accountability than actual American citizens. Now this is
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: going to cost the citizens of New York an incredible
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: amount of money. It's also going to cost you, as
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a taxpayer, a federal taxpayer, an incredible amount of money
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: because your tax dollars are now going to be going
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to these legal immigrants at levels that you've never seen before.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to what's actually in this
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: bill in New York and the way this bill is worded.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It's an insult to every American. It's an insult to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: every person that became a citizen of this country legally.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It's an insult to everybody who came through Ellis Island.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: It's an insult to anyone that cares about law and order.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to Fox reading this. I just want
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to read this. This is from the bill, Charlie. It says,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: quoting here, nothing in this chapter shall be construed so
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: as to confer upon municipal voters the right to vote
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: for any state or federal office or on any state
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: or federal ballot. Question. But in Blue America and blue
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: state America, Charlie, this is where it's going. I mean,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it's going now to municipalities, but it's going to get
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: bigger and as the states get bluer because of these
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: local elections, that's where this whole thing is headed. Yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: without a doubt. I think New York and some of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the cities out and say California, they're sort of test cases.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They can sort of try try these things out, see
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: how they go over. They can most importantly convince their
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: own voter to sort of go along with this, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: then once they get the base there, then they're off
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to the races. But the other thing that I think
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is important to remember for the Democrat Party, Democrat leaders
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: talk about the importance the sanctity of the vote, the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: importance of election integrity and allowing all votes to count. Well,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: when you add votes that are not supposed to count,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that's the same as preventing somebody from voting. So they're
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: doing exactly what it is they claim to be against.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: When they talk about you know, voter integrity and voter
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you know, making sure that no one is prevented from voting.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: They're doing more damage than any Republican that I know
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of today is trying to do. You touched on a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: good point, because you know, we have talked so much
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: about the crisis at the border, and you now look
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: at what happens down there, and if you walk across
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the border illegally and you end up in California, you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: are now in a sanctuary state. You are safe, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: then you have benefits added on top of that. And
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the question becomes when you look at all of this
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and then thirty days later there's a possibility you can
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: vote in local elections. I mean, does anybody think that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: anybody is going to go through the proper channels to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: become a legal American citizen when when you don't need to. Yeah. No.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The unfairness of this to all of those millions of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: people around the world who want to come to the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: United States of America, who want to become Americans and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: they want to do it legally. The unfairness of this
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to those people is just stunning and and it really
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it's sort of it turns the American dream into a nightmare.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: When the first thing that those people their first sort
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: of exposure to trying to come to America is the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: unfairness of all of it. But here's the other thing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And when you set up these incentives to get people,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to force people, or to lure people to make that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: dangerous journey across the border here to come here illegally,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you're not helping anyone. Quite the opposite. You're destroying lives,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: You're creating an economy of slavery and far worse things.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And it's all done by these incentives, by people who
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: claim to care about these people and claim to care
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: about Americans, and they don't. Yeah, I've been covering the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: border for thirty five years, Charlie. My first job in
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: television was down on the board of the same issues
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: now as we're there thirty five years ago. And anybody
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: who thinks they are doing these people a favor by
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: letting them make that journey should go down there and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: walk along with them and find out what happens along
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the way. Charlie Hurt always good to remember this is
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: all about power. That's the point that Charlie was making there.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: You can come into America, will give you a sanctuary state,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and then within thirty days you can vote in elections.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You know, you talk about busting people in right fill
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: elections and how that makes people angry when you bust
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: people into elections. If you bring in a legal voter
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and someone gets to vote and can't slip my vote illegally,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they're just saying, no, no no, we're gonna bust people went
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: from foreign countries to vote in elections, and you can't
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: stop us. That's what we're gonna do. You get here
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: within third days an election day, and bam, you can
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: vote and cancel out the vote of anybody that you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: don't like or that we don't like. There's no way
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a Republican can win ever again in New York City
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: with these new rules. It's impossible. There is no way
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that you can do it. This guarantees a Democratic party
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: total control. Talking about total tyranny, this is what tyrants do.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: They stack the books, they throw all these illegal votes,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and these are illegal votes into the ballot box, called
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: stuffing the box. Right this, they're doing it. They're just
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: telling us they're going to do it beforehand. They're they're
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: not having fake voters. These are real voters, folks, real votes,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: real real voters they're just not even from America. You
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: want to talk about busting and illegal voters. This is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the ultimate bussing. And they're like, no, no no, we changed
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the law. It's not busting now, this is legit. We
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: can do this now because we're in charge. We can
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: do this because we don't care about the law of
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the land. This goes back exactly to what they did
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: with Jesse Smilette to connect these two issues, and this
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is an issue in this country where the Democratic parties
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: do not look at the laws. They don't look at
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the rules, they don't look at the consequences for changing laws,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and they don't care. They just don't care. Look at
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: what they did with Jesse Smilett to win election. They
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: didn't care that the facts showed that this guy probably
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: made it all up. They didn't care when the story
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: was falling apart, because it's cared nothing else, just the election.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: They used him to try to win an election. Democrats
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: used him try to win an election. It's all it
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: was about. Hollywood celebrities who backed Jessee Smilett. Silent after
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the guilty verdict. But man, they were allowed during it,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: weren't they. You had all these Hollywood celebrities who fully
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: backed the convicted hate crime hoax or Jessice Smilett, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they're all silenced. Now they're not you know, some of
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: them are even taking down their tweets quietly. What we
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: have a media that says it's a debate whether or
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: not what happened to Jessee Smoilett is a hate crime.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: It's absurd. It's not a effing debate. That's what Ellen
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Page Now Ellen Now, Elliott Right, transgender said at the time.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Katie Perry standing with and sending love to Jessee Smilette.
• 16:39

  Speaker 1: the world, referring to Trump. So apparently this all Trump's vault, right,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: is the poy in that kills America whites only? Is
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: not right. She goes on to say America's People of
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: color GOP goes down with ship Donald J. Trump. She says,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that tweet will get will disappear. Oscar
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: winning actor Olivia Davis wanted America to take this racist
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and homophobic act of violence very personally. Oh my gosh,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: she said at the time, this is the LGBTQ community
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: continues to fight to be seen and protected against hate.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Because remember, this was a all encompassing crime that the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: media wanted to expose right used to the advantage. Two
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: guys at wearing Trump hats did this. We promise you
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that's the story. They throw a noose on around his neck.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: They poured bleach on his skin so that he would
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: turn white. This was the KKK, but they were wearing
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Maga hats. We all have to take this racist and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: homophobic act of violence very seriously. She went on to say,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: my arms are around you, Jesse Smilett, you are loved.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: It's all I all made it up. It was crap.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Star of the Office Mini Kaling was disgusted and horrified
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: when the news broke, saying, quote, I am disgusted and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: horrified to hear of the homophobic and racial attack on
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Jesse Smolette last night. Unfortunately, these hateful attacks happened way
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: too often. Not true, no doubt to back that up,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: but let's just put it out there on Twitter. It
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: makes sense we must call out and hold those accountable.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna use the same logic that we must
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: call out and hold Jesse smilet accountable for what Jesse
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Smilette just did. By the way, this tweet I just
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: checked it checked from twenty nineteen. In January, the twenty
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: nights still up, hadn't taken it down. It's still there, folks,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: still there. This dude was convicted of staging a hate
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: crime and lying to the police. Found guilty and five
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: of the six charges felonies. Scandal star Kerry Washington called
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: for justice for Jesse, saying Dear God, prayers and justice
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: for Jesse Smolettimlano even at the time, even after we
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: knew that it was looking like this case was falling apart,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: she tweeted out, if that man stage his own attack,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: he is wrong in so many ways. No one could
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: be that hurtful to stage this right to f with
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: all of us by playing into our weaknesses and make
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it even harder for victims to come forward. Question mark
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: exclamation point. No one could choose to be that hurtful
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: question mark right, question mark exclamation point right all capitals
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: question mark that tweet. Yes, still up there. This is
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the world that we now live in. We make up
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the rules as we go. Are the left does right?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: We allow people to lie, and knowing that there's a lie,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: we still go with it because if it helps us,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: then it's worth it. Apparently totally worth it. Just let
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the lies keep happening because it fitted narrative before the election,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and we all jumped on the bandwagon, and the media
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: didn't question or ask any questions. They just assumed it
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: must be true that on the coldest night in New
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: York that year, when it's literally freezing outside, that randomly
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Jesse Smollette, who wanted to go to subway in the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: middle of the night, was attacked. This way. He was attacked, folks.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: He was attacked, and it was two guys wearing Maga
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: hats who poured bleached on him and threw a noose
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: around his neck. And they staged the attack and they
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: even did a dry run. And we find out the connections.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: They hook up with each other in bathhouses. One of
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the victims, right, are one of the assailants. Yeah, Any
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: accountability for this, I will find him guilty. Any accountability
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: for the people that got it wrong. Not really. Anybody
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: can apologize on TV for lying to the American people
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and putting this hoax out there and making it sound
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: like it is real. Not really. We've already moved on, folks,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: we have already moved on. I'll give you example of
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: moving on so quickly, right, just looking the other way.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson asked the question about moving on, like, should
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: there be any accountability for the President of the United
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: States of America. He's one of the ones that pushed
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: this hoax on the American people to get us divided
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: as a country and to divide us based on race. Well,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: we want to mind you, because we hate to forget
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: things and history matters that When this fake hate crime
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: first happened, Air quotes Joe Biden, who was running for
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the presidency at the time, tweeted this quote, what happened
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: today to Jesse Smollett must never be tolerated in this country.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: We're with you, Jesse. The question is, is the President
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: United States still with Jesse? Will he amend that tweet?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Of course not right, of course, the President's not going
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: to amend that tweet or put out a statement saying, hey,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: we should not only be angry over what Jesse Smollett did,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: but we also there needs to be accountability for people
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that make false accusations of hate crimes and try to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: divide the country. Where's the statement from all these democrats
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: condemning Jesse Smollett's saying, now, it's going to make it
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: harder of true victims of racial hate crimes people to maybe,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, believe them, right, you would think they
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: would come out with that. You would think they would
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: actually come out and say that, and they should. And
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the reason why they should is because now people are
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: going to be afraid to tell the truth when there's
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: actual hate crimes has happened. Because if somebody would have
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: actually targeted Jesse Smilette the way that he believed or
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: wanted us to believe that they target him, I'd want
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: there to be justice for them. Throw the book at him.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Pouring bleach on someone as a serious crime. Putting a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: noose around someone's neck is a serious crime. Right, These
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: are serious charges and serious crimes. None of it happened,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and so now that none of it happened, all of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: these members of the media should come out and condemn
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Jesse Smilette, say he's a liar, he's a scumbag. He
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: deserves to serve at serious jail time for what he
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: did in this country because it undermines those that are
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: actually affected by hate crimes and racial crimes or crimes
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: against people that are gay and lesbian. Now, we're not
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: even going to talk about it because we already got
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: what we wanted out the Jesse Smilette case. We already
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: figure it out, folks. We already got the victory that
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: we wanted, and that victory was very clear victory. It
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: was a victory that we told a narrative before an
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: election and it worked. We had a narrative before the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: election that Trump supporters are racist bigots wearing maga hats
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: beating up gay black actors in the middle of the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: night on the coldest night in Chicago. That was the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: narrative and that's all we needed. Game over, mission accomplished.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Now that's a lie, you can tell people, Nah, why
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: would we do that. There's no reason too. This dude
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: served our purposes. Who cares if he goes to jail.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: We don't really care if he does or doesn't go
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: to jail, because we got to use the story to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: our advantage, and we made it national news and it
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: worked to our advantage. It's exactly how Sean Hannity said
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: it on his show, reminding people of exactly what was said.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Jesse Smilett claims that in the middle of Chicago on
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: a freezing cold winter night, while out for a subway
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: sandwich at two am, two white Trump supporters wearing Maga
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: hats recognized we really as a D list actor, hunted
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: him down and attacked him while yelling this is Maga country. Now.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty strange, far fetched story, but almost everyone
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: on the left they bought a hook, They bought it line,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: they bought a sinker. Joe Biden, tweeting, quote what happened
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: today that Jesse Smilette must never be tolerated in this country.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: We must stand up and demand that we no longer
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: give this hate safe harbor, that homophobian racism have no
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: place on our streets, in our hearts, and we are
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: with you, Jesse. Kamala Harris tweeting Jesse Smilett, It's one
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: of the kindest, most general human beings I know. I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: day lynching. Corey Booker also called it a modern day lynching.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: The Reverend Al Sharpton said, quote, the reported hate attack
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: on my friend and brother, actor Jesse Smilett is despicable
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and outrageous. The guilt must face the maximum. I guess
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: they didn't learn from prior incidents in New York disgrace.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Governor Andrew Cuomo quote, New York State calls the attack
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: on Jesse Smilette what it is, I hate crime. Congresswoman
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to lead quote when one of the most famous black
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and gay men in America is not safe, the message
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is clearer than it has ever been. The dangerous lies
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: spewing from the right wing is killing and hurting our people.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: And here's an official tweet from the Human Rights Campaign.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Our thoughts are with Jesse Smilette after this horrifying attack.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: It's a tragic reminder that racism and homophobia are still
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: rampant in the US. Bernie Sanders jumped in called it
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: racist and a homophobic attack. Eric Swollwell jumped in said
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: it was vile and tragic. Maxie Waters announced that she
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: was dedicated to finding the culprits stick Durban to cry
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to America's racist and homophobic ways share, she joined, and
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: then she went on an unhinged rant. She blamed President Trump.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Katie Perry said she was standing with Jesse. Jamiel Hill
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was disgusted in a Paul Ariana Grande tweeted that she
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: was sick to her stomach. Joy Reid calling it a
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: chilling attack, and on TV the hot takes were just
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: as bad. Take a look do you think about what
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: just happened to Jesse and Chicago. Unfortunately, we have racism
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: germinating from the White House. Jesse is love. That's who
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: he is and that's all he knows. So in this situation,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: hate won't win. It will not. We have a media
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that's saying it's a debate whether or not what has
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: happened to Jesse Smallett is a hate crime. It's absurd,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: isn't a debate? I agree? The US Congressman from Illinois,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Bobby Rush is calling for an immediate and sweeping civil
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: rights investigation into the racist and homophobic attack on Jesse
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: small Att. I don't like that it's being put out
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: there in the media that this is a right possible,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and the media has really cast so much doubt on
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: his story, which I find so personally offensive. And Senator
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Coy Booker said the vicious attack on actor Jesse was
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: an attempt at modern day lynching. And this is America
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, America in twenty nineteen. Yes, you can't.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: You can't not believe somebody when they say something, even
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: as the story is falling apart. You are not allowed
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to ask basic questions. If you do, we are going
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to have real problems. If you ask these questions, You're
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: un American, You're anti American, your anti LGBTQ community. If
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you ask the any questions about any of the things
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that we tell you you must believe, and this is
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: on the list of things that you must believe, there
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: will be hell to pay. You are a Trump supporter,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: You are a bigot, You are a racist, you are homeobic.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That is what you are. And if you disagree, there
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: will be hell to pay. We'll cuss at you on TV,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: will condemn you, will indict each and every one of
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: your family and friends, and every American half of the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: country that voted for Donald Trump. Remember this was the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: whole sales pitch here with these guys wearing maggots. These
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: are Trump supporters. Y'all. You can't support you can't support
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump when this is happening. How dare you even
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: think you could support Donald Trump while this is going down?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: You can't support Donald Trump. If you do, you're supporting
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: the lynching of Jesse Smilett. If you support Donald Trump,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you're supporting the racism, the attack Jesse Smilett. If you
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: support Donald Trump, you are supporting the bigotry, the homophobic ideas.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Look what happened to Jesse Lett. That's the narrative here
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: in No accountability for any of the people pushing this crap,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: all these people losing their mind, awoke, Zero accountability for them.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: This is about power, Okay. This is about power, whether
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it is Jesse Smilett or whether it's the eight hundred
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: thousand plus i llegal immigrants getting the right to vote
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: in New York City, having sanctuary states like California where
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: you can vote in thirty days, and canceled out American votes,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: American citizen votes. This is about power. Remember when the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: NAACP blame Donald Trump for the fake hate crime against
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Jesse Smilette. Anybody gonna call them and ask for a comment,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: because I will remind you of what they said, because
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: this is about a race war and division in this country.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: The National Association of the Advancement of Colored People the NAACP,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: blame then President Donald Trump for the supposed hate crime
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: against black and gay actor Jesse Smilett. We are beyond
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: trouble to hear about the recent racist and homophobic fueled
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: attack on NAACP Image Award winner, acclaimed actor and activist
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Jesse Smolette. He's an activist, He's everything. There's a direct
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: relationship between the rise and hate crimes of this nature, which,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: by the way, stats don't back that up, which is
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: exemplified by the continual living while Black incidents hashtag living
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: while Black incidents. Remember that whole thing before the election.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Now people would hashtag everything bad that happen to him,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: saying living while Black and other reported crimes and President
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's xenophobic rhetoric and racist policies. This rhetoric
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: continues to bleed into our everyday lives, and this divisive
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and dangerous behavior needs to stop. NAACP. You want to
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: take down your tweets, Nah, they're still up. You can
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: go look at them on their own Twitter feed. Yes,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the Chicago jury got it right, finding Smolette guilty of
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: five of the six counts of felony disorderly conduct on
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Thursday for making the hate crime and reporting it to police.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: But the National Association of the Advancement of Colored Persons
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the NAACP, the country's most influential civil rights organization, blame
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump his supporters for that morning's attack on actors Smoilette,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and they still have not said we're sorry, we got
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: it wrong. They have not reacted to the verdict so far,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: but their old tweets still up with all the retweets,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: because that's what they do. I hope every one of
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: you will realize what we're up against. I hope everyone
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: of you will share all of these facts going back
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: in time as we remind you what they were doing.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Our podcast is out there for you to do this.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: You can share it with your family and your friends
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: so that they can be reminded of what really happened.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Because this is what really happened. Jesse Smilett, by the way,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: making him making a major statement via attorney saying we
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: are convinced that we and we are one hundred percent
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: confident that we will win on appeal. Sure Okay, sounds
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: good to me. Sounds good to me.
