WEBVTT - Leftist Privilege Saves Jussie Smollett 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.639 The police chief in Chicago is furious. Well, the police 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:06.560 superintendent Eddie Johnson, who announced these charges against Smalllett in 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.360 the first place. If you're just turning on the radio, 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:15.760 the Chicago d A, the state Attorney Kim Fox, who 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.360 had recused herself from this case, has just announced the 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.759 charges against just Justse Smollett had been dropped and the 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.080 police were not consulted. They didn't know. He has paid 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.479 them ten thousand dollars. She's saying, well, he was only 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.560 gonna get community service if he was found guilty. He's 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.120 already done some great community service, and so we are 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:42.120 dropping the charges and his record will be expunged. And 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.920 this just happened moments ago this morning. This was revealed 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:50.519 about thirty forty five minutes ago. And what we're told 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:57.280 is that the police chief, Eddie Johnson, is a police superintendent, 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.440 is furious. He was not given the heads up that 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.080 that this was going to happen. It appears, folks, at best, 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.160 that I have been able to determine and I have 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.680 been immersed in this ever since it happened. It appears 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.480 that this has nothing to do with being a defect 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.200 in the evidence. It has nothing to do with the 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.360 fact that what he was accused of being or doing 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.640 didn't happen, or that they can't prove it. It rather 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.040 appears to be as my friend Andy McCarthy referred to 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.160 at moments ago on Fox as an act of mercy 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.319 on the part of the district attorney, deciding he'd been 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.600 through enough, that he had paid ten thousand dollars, he's 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:44.400 already performed significant amounts of wonderful work for the community 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.440 of Chicago, and so they are just deciding to to 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.200 drop charges. Smallett's team is now at the microphone. We're 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.880 gonna jip this when he speaks, because it's it'll be 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.640 interesting to see how he plays this if he if 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:05.080 he is contrite and apologizes for all of the grief, 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:10.080 because remember, he mailed phony letters to himself and that 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.720 is a federal crime. And you know, I don't know 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.040 what the Feds were gonna do in this case, if 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.240 they were even involved in it. But the state charges 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.000 have been totally dropped and they will never appear on 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.480 his record, but not because they couldn't prove it, and 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.880 not because he didn't do it, but rather apparently because 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:36.240 he's already paid a significant price ten tho dollars and 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:42.519 community service. So it was obviously some kind of a 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:49.440 massive negotiation between Smollett's lawyers and the state attorney district 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.679 attorney in Chicago. Cook County State Attorney Kim Fox is 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.400 the name. And I was confused about this because she 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.920 recused herself from this case at some point. Now she's 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.359 back in it. I don't know how that happens, but 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:09.239 still a lot to figure out about this. But once that, folks, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.359 this is the kind of thing that actually, uh encourages 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.320 people to believe that there's a two tier justice system 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.800 and that people who have status or money or access 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.320 somehow have a better shot in front of the justice 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.399 system than than other people. And this follows one day 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.320 after this fiasco of the Mueller investigation was exposed for 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.400 what it is and about which there is going to 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:43.640 be much more today because this by no means should 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.560 in any way, shape, manner, or form considered to be 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:53.680 over this by a lot of people calling for this now. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.560 And I am flattered because I addressed this yesterday. Look 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:01.760 at the counter intelligence apparatus of this country was utilized 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.960 and from the Obama administration, every one of these people 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.280 has ties back to the Obama administration. Every damned one 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.480 of them except for Mueller, and even he could be 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.880 said to have some ties. But all the FBI leadership 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.400 in Brennan and Clapper, all these people are from the 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:24.479 Obama administration and from the Obama counter intelligence UH apparatus 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:29.040 or series of agencies. And every one of these people 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.920 deserves to be examined and investigated to find out who 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.320 started this, whose idea it was, when it actually was 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.200 given life, and of course how much did Obama know 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.320 and when did he know it? And I am not 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.479 trying to use a cliche, and I'm not trying to 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.080 be provocative. This literally needs to happen. This was a coup, 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.839 It was an ongoing coup. It had multiple purposes. Its 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.760 primary purpose was to reverse the election results of two 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.280 th sixteen, however they could do it, forcing Trump to resign, impeachment, 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.200 you name it. The second purpose of this investigation was 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:12.440 to cover up what these people had done. Okay, okay, okay, 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.760 let's join Smuggler, because he's speaking. The incredible people of 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.800 Chicago and all over the country in the world, who 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.280 have prayed for me, who have supported me, who have 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.080 shown me so much love. Oh here we go. No 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.839 one will ever know however that has meant to me, 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.000 and I will forever be grateful. I want you to 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.919 know that, not for a moment was it in vain. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.560 I've been truthful and consistent on every single level since 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.760 day one. I would not be my mother's son if 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.560 I was capable of one drop of what I've been 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:47.200 accused of. This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.320 one of the worst of my entire life. But I'm 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.560 a man of faith, and I'm a man that has 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.239 knowledge of my history, and I would not bring my family, 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.080 our lives or the movement through a fire like this. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.000 I just went did so. I want to thank my 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.560 legal counsel from the bottom of my heart, and I 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.440 would also like to thank the State of Illinois for 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.479 attempting to do what's right. Okay, well, now I'd like 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.600 nothing more than to just get back to work and 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.479 move on with my life. But make no mistakes, I 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.120 will always continue to fight for the justice, equality and 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.719 betterment of marginalized people everywhere. So again, thank you for 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.680 all the support, thank you for faith, and thank you 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.239 to God bless y'all. Thank you very much. Uh well, okay, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.679 there you go, get rid of that. So we didn't 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:37.760 get what some people thought Smilette should do. That he 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:42.560 should have apologized, Maybe not apologize if he doesn't want 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.200 to admit that the whole thing was made up, but 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:51.000 apologize for the hassle, apologize for what happened when he 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.080 put the community through because of this. There wasn't any 0:06:54.120 --> 0:07:00.080 of that. He continued to portray himself as a victim here. Oh, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.520 now the question is going to beget why did they 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:10.080 actually drop the charges the police superintendent didn't know. Not 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.240 only not just dropping the charges, they're expunging the record. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:17.880 There will be no record of this whatsoever. Now there's 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.080 a message that's being sent here with this. Let us 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:27.040 be bold and let us be truthful. Here. Any leftist activist, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:33.119 to whatever degree, deranged and imbalanced, egged on by people 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:38.120 like Maxine Waters, can now fake hate crimes against Trump supporters. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.320 They can then claim a fake lynching by Trump supporters. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.320 They can then lie to the police, Then they can 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.320 lie to the media, Then they can lie to the 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:53.280 American people. They can cause a media frenzy against Trump supporters. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.800 They can plead not guilty and apparently walk away Scott Free. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:11.080 Can you say leftist privilege in the Cook County legal system? 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.840 This kid faked to hate crime against Trump's supporters because 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:19.760 he didn't like his cut of a hundred dollars per episode. 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.200 And it's more than that. The guy is a leftist 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:30.160 political activist. Then he lied to the police. So what happened? 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:36.440 What and which officials in Chicago played a role in 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:44.120 wiping this off the books? How did this happen? Jesse 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:49.000 Smollett says he's going to fight for equality. Isn't it 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.480 not clear that some people are more equal than others? 0:08:52.800 --> 0:09:00.880 So here he is continuing to portray himself as a victim. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.480 You know, I it's you see, folks, this stuff doesn't end. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.160 You think that you win something real big, like the 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.240 Mueller Report coming out, and then it's only a few 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.280 short hours or days later that you are and we 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:20.080 are reminded that there aren't any lasting victories, that it 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:27.000 is an on going battle. Smolette has up until now 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.400 continue to claim and he didn't lie that everything he 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.800 said happened. Why should he get mercy? Well, according to 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.720 what we've been able to learn, he's getting mercy because 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.640 the Cook County State attorney thought that he wouldn't get 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.959 any more than community service the first time offender. They're 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.439 going to keep the ten thousand dollars he paid whatever 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:51.240 that was for Dale or or what have you. Uh. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:58.400 I wonder I wonder if and I'm just speculating here 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.439 with my mind freely flow wing as an American. I'm 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.040 wondering if anybody Chicago once this trial began, if anybody 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:12.240 feared civil unrest. I wonder if they were concerned that 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:18.360 they might lose control of the city when the trial began. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:22.719 Who knows, Uh, we don't know who all was involved 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.680 in act the actual decision of dropping the charges. But 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:31.280 but there it is the key for me in this 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.160 is the Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who went on 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:42.479 national TV to detail the evidence, to detail the commission 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:49.640 of the crime, to express his personal disgust over this 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.160 episode and why it was committed and by whom and 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:59.040 for what reasons. He was not consultant. He found out 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:03.240 about this, just like and I, via the media. He 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.240 probably got a flashphone call. Hey, superintended, they're dropping charges 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:14.160 against the Empire guy. What he had no idea. Smilette 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.319 did not apologize for anything he's put people through, continues 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.960 to portray himself as a as a victim here. So 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.520 I wonder how much more we're gonna learn as this unfolds, 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.480 will find out just how persistent the media is or 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.120 whether or not they feel like celebrating this. What are 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:38.880 you what are you saying to me in there? Mm hmm? What? 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:45.880 What communities would it what? Oh if the trial had 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:52.200 been allowed to proceed, what two communities would have been hurt? Uh? Well, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.560 what what two? Are you thinking of? African American right 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.880 but Democrats as well as that the second thing you're thinking? 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.160 Uh yeah, yeah, it'd be tough a trial where somebody 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:08.000 actually convicted of falsely accusing people of being Trump supporters 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.520 of doing Yeah, as I say, I think that's the 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.880 idea of public unrest, riots, whatever you want to call them, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.400 might be a factor. But we're just we're just speculating here. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.880 The fact of the matter remains that it does appear 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.240 that there is a two tier justice system here and 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.480 that the reason the charges were dropped to have nothing 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.440 to do with the fact that they're not true. Let's 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:35.160 go back to Chicago and just smolette. Smelette insists that 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:39.160 he told the truth, even though there is video all 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.400 over the Internet of the two Nigerian guys buying the 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:49.280 mugging supplies with a check four mugging supplies that Smolett wrote, 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:55.280 the rope, the bleach, and the red hat. There is 0:12:55.360 --> 0:13:00.880 store surveillance video of this. The superintendent of LEASA Chicago 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:06.479 went out and faced the nation on national television, detailing 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:12.400 the charges, expressing his disgust with Smolette and not understanding 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:17.880 why somebody in such a successful position would dare do 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:22.160 something like this, not only his own people, but to 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.960 the city of Chicago. So Smolette comes out today and says, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:34.000 I'm not lying a stand by everything I said. Well, uh, 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.960 let's see. If Smolette insists that he told the truth, 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.040 what does that mean. Well, that means that Chicago police 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.920 are lying. That means that the superintendent Eddie Johnson is lying. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:53.200 But it doesn't just mean that. It means that the 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:58.040 Chicago police must be corrupt as hell, and that the 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.880 state attorney for Cook County, Kim Fox, decided she had 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.800 to clean it up by dropping all the charges because 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:11.320 for some reason, the Chicago police are corrupt. So I 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:16.240 guess Kim Fox and others at the State Attorney's Office 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.960 in Cook County would rather have it looked like the 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.840 police tried to frame just Smilette rather than put Jesse 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.960 Smilette on trial. I mean, that's the inescapable conclusion of this. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:39.080 The state attorney State Attorney's Office Cook County has decided 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.520 it's better for the cops to look corrupt, for the 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.560 police superintendent to appear to be a liar making it 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:53.920 all up, and that it looked like the cops framed 0:14:54.160 --> 0:15:01.240 this poor guy rather than put Smolette on trial. You 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.520 know how great this is given how many minorities already 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.480 believe the police are out to get them, like Colin 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:13.880 Kaepernick and all the others, thanks to the Black Lives 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.760 Matter movement. Now the Black Lives Matter movement has been 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:24.280 has been basically stuck up for here. It's been validated. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:31.400 The Chicago police are corrupt, they are liars. They had 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:36.480 it in for this guy. Is how this must appear. Now, 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:41.280 reverse the situation. Imagine if a white Trump supporter had 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.040 staged a hate crime on himself by a couple of 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:50.000 black guys, and imagine that there was video surveillance of 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.640 the black guys buying the stuff. Necessary to beat up 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.960 the white Trump supporter, and then it discovered that it 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:03.400 was a hoax and he was unrepentant. With the Chicago 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:09.720 Cook County State Attorney have given this mythical character any mercy. 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:18.480 So this police superintendent has to be livid over the 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.120 choice made by the d A or the State's Attorney's 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.320 office in Cook County. They'd rather it appeared the cops 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:29.960 are corrupt. Hey, look, they're not telling us why. They're 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:31.840 not telling us why the charges are dropped. So people 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:37.040 are having to speculate here. But it doesn't appear that 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:41.200 the charges were dropped because they can't prove them. It 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.200 appears to be an act of mercy by Kim Fox, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.720 who had recused herself because she knows some people involved. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.240 She knows somebody who knows smell act. Now she's somehow 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.120 back involved. Here is Matthew in Las Vegas. You're up 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.520 first end. It's great to have you high. Hey, Rush 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.800 Mega dittos from Las Vegas, Nevada. How are you doing? 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.399 I'm good, sir, Thank you much. I think that this 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.440 Molette thing is nothing more than a chips at tat. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:13.040 You see CNN already talking about white supremacy mentioned that 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.199 Mueller's white, Trump's white. This is a typical Chicago mentality. 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.560 What do you think you mean, let me see a 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:25.159 translate that you think. Let me let me put this 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.399 in my words. I'm gonna tell you how I heard 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.400 what you just said. You just say yes or no? Okay, okay. 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:37.399 The state attorney in Cook County hates Donald Trump and 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:42.560 cannot stand effect that Mueller came back with no collusion 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.600 and that there wasn't any obstruction and that Trump is 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.920 gonna get away scott free. And if Trump's gonna get 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.119 away with it, in the hell, if Smollett's going to jail, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.040 We're not gonna put the black guy in jail of 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.200 Trump's getting away with it. And so the state attorneys 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.760 Chicago's screw this and drops the charges against Molette because 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.000 she's so ticked off that Mueller found nothing on Trump. 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.520 Is that what you're saying? Absolutely, this is the way 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:09.280 these momo liberals think. Well, I have to do what 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:14.720 they think. Look, folks, before you discount this, and you know, 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:20.440 sensible people might come on it. Could We're talking today 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:26.680 about the modern incarnation of not just the Democrat Party, 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:34.840 but the extreme depths to which the American left has plunged. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:41.000 I think it's entirely possible. I think that it is. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.720 I think you you. I have tried, over the course 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:48.240 of the past two years to tell people how victriolic 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.240 and how personal is the hatred for Donald Trump by 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:58.679 people on the left. It's beyond rational comprehension the depth 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.800 of hatred they harbor, and they've harbored it and is 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.280 built every day for two years. And they have been 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.480 led to believed by their trusted sources that Trump is history, 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.359 that Muller is going to get the goods, that Trump 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:13.960 stole the election, that it was Hilary's, and then the 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:18.080 Mueller report comes. I cannot tell you. I do not 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:22.040 have the human ability to describe for you the utter 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:27.640 devastation and disappointment and rage and anger some of these 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.600 people felt. And if this d A, the state's attorney, 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.520 Kim Fox, is one of these never trumpers that despises 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.240 and hates him, I can totally see her in a 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:40.560 fit of pique, saying, I'll be damned if this cracker, 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:42.800 if this Trump is going to get away with it 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:47.400 and just let Smolett go as a matter of spite 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.960 I wouldn't wouldn't doubt that we are learning more as 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:57.320 is understandable and predictable about people involved in the decision. 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:02.840 In Chicago, the Cook County States attorneys a Office, Kim 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:07.280 Fox is the state attorney here who has dropped charges 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:11.960 against the actor Just Smollette. I want to read to 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:18.240 you from the official biography on Fox, under a section 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:23.560 in which she is described to have undertaken substantial reform. 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:31.879 Fox's accomplishments include overhauling the state Attorney's offices Conviction Integrity Unit, 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.479 resulting in overturned convictions in over twenty cases, including the 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:44.120 first ever mass exoneration in Cook County for fifteen men 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:49.440 whose convictions stemmed from misconduct by a Chicago police officer. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.080 Now what can we glean from this, Well that she 0:20:56.200 --> 0:21:00.680 may have a problem with the cops, and course, if 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:10.439 you are leftist, you probably do have problems with the cops. 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.760 She also, in addition to not liking the cops, she 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:20.240 doesn't like ice. Kimberly Fox urged Chicagoans who want to 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.879 show their support for immigrants to escort witnesses to court 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:28.159 and do what they can to put their bodies in 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:33.760 front of immigration and Customs enforcements agents trying to seize 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:38.520 illegal immigrants, not that the Cook County State Attorney was 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:46.160 advocating for Chicago citizens to shield and protect illegal immigrants 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:52.719 from being apprehended by immigration and customs enforcement agents. And 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:58.280 then there is this from the Chicago Sun Times. Former 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:03.520 Michelle Obama aide and Smolette relative reached out to Kim Fox, 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:09.560 WHOA would we be surprised to learn the Obama's might 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:14.160 be involved in this? I wouldn't. Police union wants federal 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:17.840 investigation and the Kim Fox's handling of a case after 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:24.960 she exchanged texts with Smolett's relatives just days after Jesse 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.760 Smilett told Chicago police he had fought off a pair 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.919 of attackers who targeted him in an apparent hate crime. 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:36.199 Cook County States Attorney Kim Fox tried to persuade police 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:40.119 Superintendent Eddie Johnson attorney investigation over the FBI. You remember 0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:44.160 that she wanted the FBI to handle this, the same 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:50.000 FBI that ran this scam investigation of Donald Trump. Kimberly 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:53.200 Fox or Kim Fox's called Eddie Johnson came after an 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:59.440 influential supporter of the Empire actor reached out to Fox 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:03.119 personal this person his team at Chen tc h e N, 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:08.600 a Chicago attorney and former chief of staff for former 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:12.760 First Lady Michelle my Belle Obama. This is according to 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:17.400 emails and text messages provided by Fox to the Chicago 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:21.560 Sun Times in response to a public records request. So 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:29.440 translating this, Kim Fox asked Eddie Johnson trying to persuade 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:34.000 Eddie Johnson attorney investigation over to the FBI after he 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:40.000 had detailed the evidence and his own disgust at this 0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:44.160 crime and how it wasted the resources of the city 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:49.520 of Chicago. He didn't talk about the damage that had 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.080 been done to Trump or Trump supporters, but he did 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:58.119 refer to all of the insulting damage and costs to 0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:02.840 the city of Chicago. So Kim Fox tries to get 0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.800 the police represented turn the case over to the FBI. 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:14.000 After she gets a call from Tina chen As, Chicago 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.199 attorney former chief of staff for formers first Lady Michelle 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:20.359 my Belle Obama. Do you think they still got contacts 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:26.159 and the FBI at the Obama apparatus here? So this babe, 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:29.679 former chief of staff from Michelle my Belle Obama calls 0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.199 Kim Fox trying to get the case moved over to 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:41.120 the FBI, and now the police union wants a federal 0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:46.879 investigation into how she's handled this because she also exchanged 0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:52.320 text messages with relatives of Just Smollette. And finally, what 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.680 I mentioned this in the in the opening hour, you know, 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:59.280 part of this crime is mail fraud. He mailed threatening 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:04.520 letters to it self. He mailed threatening letters to the 0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:08.159 studio where Empire is produced in Chicago. And when that 0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:13.960 didn't get the desired reaction, is what Smilette wanted. He 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:17.320 wanted the producers and the executives at Fox and an 0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:21.040 Empire to see this threatening letter to him, threatening damage, 0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:24.880 threatening to harm him, maybe kill him. He wanted that 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:29.639 to be publicized, and they didn't publicize it. And by 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.480 the way, for the record, most of these kinds of 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.240 things never do get publicized because you don't want to 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:36.080 give the people doing this and he not a riot 0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.680 of your fame. But Smilette was upset, so he wrote 0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:48.399 another letter, this one to himself in an attempt to 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:51.600 gain Well, this is mail fraud and that is a 0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:56.440 federal crime. And Fox News is reporting today the FBI 0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:01.159 is still looking into Just Smolette augitally sending himself a 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.800 death threat letter through the mail. A spokesperson for the 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:11.960 FBI UM said no comment, but the off the record 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:17.240 response was that there is still a serious examination of this. 0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:21.000 We still have people who want to weigh in on this. 0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:23.919 I'm going to go to the phones now because I 0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:27.879 don't want to move from here to the updates on 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.960 themaller investigation and go to the phones in a few 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:33.359 minutes and have people talking about samolette. So let's stick 0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.040 with the subject. And we have John here on the 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.280 phone from the South side of Chicago. I'm glad you called. 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.720 I'm glad you got through. How are you, sir? Think sir? 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:45.680 And rush welcome. This is Chicago where bald harvesting was created. 0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:51.080 Rush Um, I'm surprised this one got passed you. The 0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:55.520 superintendent now the Chicago Police Department. He is appointed by 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:58.719 the mayor. He is the mayor's hand picked person. This 0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:02.240 whole thing doesn't pay as the smell test. He's not elected, 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:06.000 and he's given his talking points by the Mayor's office 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.240 on what to say on every high profile case. Wait 0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:13.520 a minute, now, what lovely? So when Eddie Johnson, the superintendent, 0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:18.280 went out and detailed the crime and expressed his disgust. Correct, 0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:22.800 that was actually wrong, Immanuel dictating to him. Correct. And 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.320 I thought he was just trying because he's gonna be 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:26.919 out of office in a couple of months. He I 0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:28.800 thought he was. He was just trying to network himself 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:30.840 out there to be the next police chief somewhere else 0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:33.960 but that. But I spoke with a Northwestern law professor 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:35.920 and he goes, you know why he did that. I said, yeah, 0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:37.679 he's trying to find a new job. He said, no, 0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:40.960 he's trying to damage the case. They don't want to 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:42.840 see him go. And the more he talks about, the 0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:46.560 more he goes on Good Morning America, George Stepanopolis's UM 0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:50.280 network there, the more he goes on NBC and talked about, 0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.960 the more it damages the case. And where a change 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:56.280 of venue or a change of a jury, if it 0:27:56.359 --> 0:28:00.840 went that way, was going to be needed. You follow, 0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:03.240 you follow? Yeah, I follow that. So, but but take 0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:05.280 me back to the beginning of this. So the motivation 0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:08.639 who so you're saying that Rama Manual tells Eddie Johnson 0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:11.720 to go on TV start talking about this case, corrupt 0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.879 the jury, the case, pollute the jury pool, and do 0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.880 everything you can to damage the case because we don't 0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:19.800 want this case. So Eddie Johnson was just following orders. 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.040 He wasn't telling us what he thinks. He was even 0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.280 saying what what immanual wanted him to say, which I 0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:28.280 guess we're to conclude from you that Ram Immanuel wanted 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:31.720 the case to have to be dropped or go away. Well, 0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.199
