Speaker 1 (00:00):
The police chief in Chicago is furious. Well, the police
superintendent Eddie Johnson, who announced these charges against Smalllett in
the first place. If you're just turning on the radio,
the Chicago d A, the state Attorney Kim Fox, who
had recused herself from this case, has just announced the
charges against just Justse Smollett had been dropped and the
(00:22):
police were not consulted. They didn't know. He has paid
them ten thousand dollars. She's saying, well, he was only
gonna get community service if he was found guilty. He's
already done some great community service, and so we are
dropping the charges and his record will be expunged. And
this just happened moments ago this morning. This was revealed
(00:45):
about thirty forty five minutes ago. And what we're told
is that the police chief, Eddie Johnson, is a police superintendent,
is furious. He was not given the heads up that
that this was going to happen. It appears, folks, at best,
that I have been able to determine and I have
(01:07):
been immersed in this ever since it happened. It appears
that this has nothing to do with being a defect
in the evidence. It has nothing to do with the
fact that what he was accused of being or doing
didn't happen, or that they can't prove it. It rather
appears to be as my friend Andy McCarthy referred to
(01:28):
at moments ago on Fox as an act of mercy
on the part of the district attorney, deciding he'd been
through enough, that he had paid ten thousand dollars, he's
already performed significant amounts of wonderful work for the community
of Chicago, and so they are just deciding to to
(01:48):
drop charges. Smallett's team is now at the microphone. We're
gonna jip this when he speaks, because it's it'll be
interesting to see how he plays this if he if
he is contrite and apologizes for all of the grief,
because remember, he mailed phony letters to himself and that
(02:10):
is a federal crime. And you know, I don't know
what the Feds were gonna do in this case, if
they were even involved in it. But the state charges
have been totally dropped and they will never appear on
his record, but not because they couldn't prove it, and
not because he didn't do it, but rather apparently because
(02:31):
he's already paid a significant price ten tho dollars and
community service. So it was obviously some kind of a
massive negotiation between Smollett's lawyers and the state attorney district
attorney in Chicago. Cook County State Attorney Kim Fox is
(02:53):
the name. And I was confused about this because she
recused herself from this case at some point. Now she's
back in it. I don't know how that happens, but
still a lot to figure out about this. But once that, folks,
this is the kind of thing that actually, uh encourages
people to believe that there's a two tier justice system
(03:17):
and that people who have status or money or access
somehow have a better shot in front of the justice
system than than other people. And this follows one day
after this fiasco of the Mueller investigation was exposed for
what it is and about which there is going to
(03:38):
be much more today because this by no means should
in any way, shape, manner, or form considered to be
over this by a lot of people calling for this now.
And I am flattered because I addressed this yesterday. Look
at the counter intelligence apparatus of this country was utilized
(04:01):
and from the Obama administration, every one of these people
has ties back to the Obama administration. Every damned one
of them except for Mueller, and even he could be
said to have some ties. But all the FBI leadership
in Brennan and Clapper, all these people are from the
Obama administration and from the Obama counter intelligence UH apparatus
(04:24):
or series of agencies. And every one of these people
deserves to be examined and investigated to find out who
started this, whose idea it was, when it actually was
given life, and of course how much did Obama know
and when did he know it? And I am not
(04:45):
trying to use a cliche, and I'm not trying to
be provocative. This literally needs to happen. This was a coup,
It was an ongoing coup. It had multiple purposes. Its
primary purpose was to reverse the election results of two
th sixteen, however they could do it, forcing Trump to resign, impeachment,
you name it. The second purpose of this investigation was
(05:07):
to cover up what these people had done. Okay, okay, okay,
let's join Smuggler, because he's speaking. The incredible people of
Chicago and all over the country in the world, who
have prayed for me, who have supported me, who have
shown me so much love. Oh here we go. No
one will ever know however that has meant to me,
(05:27):
and I will forever be grateful. I want you to
know that, not for a moment was it in vain.
I've been truthful and consistent on every single level since
day one. I would not be my mother's son if
I was capable of one drop of what I've been
accused of. This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly
one of the worst of my entire life. But I'm
(05:50):
a man of faith, and I'm a man that has
knowledge of my history, and I would not bring my family,
our lives or the movement through a fire like this.
I just went did so. I want to thank my
legal counsel from the bottom of my heart, and I
would also like to thank the State of Illinois for
attempting to do what's right. Okay, well, now I'd like
(06:11):
nothing more than to just get back to work and
move on with my life. But make no mistakes, I
will always continue to fight for the justice, equality and
betterment of marginalized people everywhere. So again, thank you for
all the support, thank you for faith, and thank you
to God bless y'all. Thank you very much. Uh well, okay,
there you go, get rid of that. So we didn't
(06:32):
get what some people thought Smilette should do. That he
should have apologized, Maybe not apologize if he doesn't want
to admit that the whole thing was made up, but
apologize for the hassle, apologize for what happened when he
put the community through because of this. There wasn't any
(06:54):
of that. He continued to portray himself as a victim here. Oh,
now the question is going to beget why did they
actually drop the charges the police superintendent didn't know. Not
only not just dropping the charges, they're expunging the record.
There will be no record of this whatsoever. Now there's
(07:17):
a message that's being sent here with this. Let us
be bold and let us be truthful. Here. Any leftist activist,
to whatever degree, deranged and imbalanced, egged on by people
like Maxine Waters, can now fake hate crimes against Trump supporters.
(07:39):
They can then claim a fake lynching by Trump supporters.
They can then lie to the police, Then they can
lie to the media, Then they can lie to the
American people. They can cause a media frenzy against Trump supporters.
They can plead not guilty and apparently walk away Scott Free.
(08:00):
Can you say leftist privilege in the Cook County legal system?
This kid faked to hate crime against Trump's supporters because
he didn't like his cut of a hundred dollars per episode.
And it's more than that. The guy is a leftist
(08:22):
political activist. Then he lied to the police. So what happened?
What and which officials in Chicago played a role in
wiping this off the books? How did this happen? Jesse
(08:44):
Smollett says he's going to fight for equality. Isn't it
not clear that some people are more equal than others?
So here he is continuing to portray himself as a victim.
You know, I it's you see, folks, this stuff doesn't end.
(09:06):
You think that you win something real big, like the
Mueller Report coming out, and then it's only a few
short hours or days later that you are and we
are reminded that there aren't any lasting victories, that it
is an on going battle. Smolette has up until now
(09:27):
continue to claim and he didn't lie that everything he
said happened. Why should he get mercy? Well, according to
what we've been able to learn, he's getting mercy because
the Cook County State attorney thought that he wouldn't get
any more than community service the first time offender. They're
going to keep the ten thousand dollars he paid whatever
that was for Dale or or what have you. Uh.
(09:52):
I wonder I wonder if and I'm just speculating here
with my mind freely flow wing as an American. I'm
wondering if anybody Chicago once this trial began, if anybody
feared civil unrest. I wonder if they were concerned that
they might lose control of the city when the trial began.
(10:18):
Who knows, Uh, we don't know who all was involved
in act the actual decision of dropping the charges. But
but there it is the key for me in this
is the Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who went on
national TV to detail the evidence, to detail the commission
(10:42):
of the crime, to express his personal disgust over this
episode and why it was committed and by whom and
for what reasons. He was not consultant. He found out
about this, just like and I, via the media. He
(11:03):
probably got a flashphone call. Hey, superintended, they're dropping charges
against the Empire guy. What he had no idea. Smilette
did not apologize for anything he's put people through, continues
to portray himself as a as a victim here. So
(11:24):
I wonder how much more we're gonna learn as this unfolds,
will find out just how persistent the media is or
whether or not they feel like celebrating this. What are
you what are you saying to me in there? Mm hmm? What?
What communities would it what? Oh if the trial had
(11:45):
been allowed to proceed, what two communities would have been hurt? Uh? Well,
what what two? Are you thinking of? African American right
but Democrats as well as that the second thing you're thinking?
Uh yeah, yeah, it'd be tough a trial where somebody
actually convicted of falsely accusing people of being Trump supporters
(12:08):
of doing Yeah, as I say, I think that's the
idea of public unrest, riots, whatever you want to call them,
might be a factor. But we're just we're just speculating here.
The fact of the matter remains that it does appear
that there is a two tier justice system here and
that the reason the charges were dropped to have nothing
to do with the fact that they're not true. Let's
(12:29):
go back to Chicago and just smolette. Smelette insists that
he told the truth, even though there is video all
over the Internet of the two Nigerian guys buying the
mugging supplies with a check four mugging supplies that Smolett wrote,
(12:50):
the rope, the bleach, and the red hat. There is
store surveillance video of this. The superintendent of LEASA Chicago
went out and faced the nation on national television, detailing
the charges, expressing his disgust with Smolette and not understanding
(13:12):
why somebody in such a successful position would dare do
something like this, not only his own people, but to
the city of Chicago. So Smolette comes out today and says,
I'm not lying a stand by everything I said. Well, uh,
(13:34):
let's see. If Smolette insists that he told the truth,
what does that mean. Well, that means that Chicago police
are lying. That means that the superintendent Eddie Johnson is lying.
But it doesn't just mean that. It means that the
Chicago police must be corrupt as hell, and that the
(13:58):
state attorney for Cook County, Kim Fox, decided she had
to clean it up by dropping all the charges because
for some reason, the Chicago police are corrupt. So I
guess Kim Fox and others at the State Attorney's Office
in Cook County would rather have it looked like the
(14:20):
police tried to frame just Smilette rather than put Jesse
Smilette on trial. I mean, that's the inescapable conclusion of this.
The state attorney State Attorney's Office Cook County has decided
it's better for the cops to look corrupt, for the
(14:43):
police superintendent to appear to be a liar making it
all up, and that it looked like the cops framed
this poor guy rather than put Smolette on trial. You
know how great this is given how many minorities already
(15:05):
believe the police are out to get them, like Colin
Kaepernick and all the others, thanks to the Black Lives
Matter movement. Now the Black Lives Matter movement has been
has been basically stuck up for here. It's been validated.
The Chicago police are corrupt, they are liars. They had
(15:31):
it in for this guy. Is how this must appear. Now,
reverse the situation. Imagine if a white Trump supporter had
staged a hate crime on himself by a couple of
black guys, and imagine that there was video surveillance of
the black guys buying the stuff. Necessary to beat up
(15:54):
the white Trump supporter, and then it discovered that it
was a hoax and he was unrepentant. With the Chicago
Cook County State Attorney have given this mythical character any mercy.
So this police superintendent has to be livid over the
(16:18):
choice made by the d A or the State's Attorney's
office in Cook County. They'd rather it appeared the cops
are corrupt. Hey, look, they're not telling us why. They're
not telling us why the charges are dropped. So people
are having to speculate here. But it doesn't appear that
the charges were dropped because they can't prove them. It
(16:41):
appears to be an act of mercy by Kim Fox,
who had recused herself because she knows some people involved.
She knows somebody who knows smell act. Now she's somehow
back involved. Here is Matthew in Las Vegas. You're up
first end. It's great to have you high. Hey, Rush
Mega dittos from Las Vegas, Nevada. How are you doing?
(17:02):
I'm good, sir, Thank you much. I think that this
Molette thing is nothing more than a chips at tat.
You see CNN already talking about white supremacy mentioned that
Mueller's white, Trump's white. This is a typical Chicago mentality.
What do you think you mean, let me see a
translate that you think. Let me let me put this
(17:25):
in my words. I'm gonna tell you how I heard
what you just said. You just say yes or no? Okay, okay.
The state attorney in Cook County hates Donald Trump and
cannot stand effect that Mueller came back with no collusion
and that there wasn't any obstruction and that Trump is
(17:45):
gonna get away scott free. And if Trump's gonna get
away with it, in the hell, if Smollett's going to jail,
We're not gonna put the black guy in jail of
Trump's getting away with it. And so the state attorneys
Chicago's screw this and drops the charges against Molette because
she's so ticked off that Mueller found nothing on Trump.
Is that what you're saying? Absolutely, this is the way
these momo liberals think. Well, I have to do what
(18:09):
they think. Look, folks, before you discount this, and you know,
sensible people might come on it. Could We're talking today
about the modern incarnation of not just the Democrat Party,
but the extreme depths to which the American left has plunged.
(18:35):
I think it's entirely possible. I think that it is.
I think you you. I have tried, over the course
of the past two years to tell people how victriolic
and how personal is the hatred for Donald Trump by
people on the left. It's beyond rational comprehension the depth
(18:58):
of hatred they harbor, and they've harbored it and is
built every day for two years. And they have been
led to believed by their trusted sources that Trump is history,
that Muller is going to get the goods, that Trump
stole the election, that it was Hilary's, and then the
Mueller report comes. I cannot tell you. I do not
have the human ability to describe for you the utter
(19:22):
devastation and disappointment and rage and anger some of these
people felt. And if this d A, the state's attorney,
Kim Fox, is one of these never trumpers that despises
and hates him, I can totally see her in a
fit of pique, saying, I'll be damned if this cracker,
if this Trump is going to get away with it
(19:43):
and just let Smolett go as a matter of spite
I wouldn't wouldn't doubt that we are learning more as
is understandable and predictable about people involved in the decision.
In Chicago, the Cook County States attorneys a Office, Kim
Fox is the state attorney here who has dropped charges
(20:07):
against the actor Just Smollette. I want to read to
you from the official biography on Fox, under a section
in which she is described to have undertaken substantial reform.
Fox's accomplishments include overhauling the state Attorney's offices Conviction Integrity Unit,
(20:32):
resulting in overturned convictions in over twenty cases, including the
first ever mass exoneration in Cook County for fifteen men
whose convictions stemmed from misconduct by a Chicago police officer.
Now what can we glean from this, Well that she
(20:56):
may have a problem with the cops, and course, if
you are leftist, you probably do have problems with the cops.
She also, in addition to not liking the cops, she
doesn't like ice. Kimberly Fox urged Chicagoans who want to
(21:20):
show their support for immigrants to escort witnesses to court
and do what they can to put their bodies in
front of immigration and Customs enforcements agents trying to seize
illegal immigrants, not that the Cook County State Attorney was
advocating for Chicago citizens to shield and protect illegal immigrants
(21:46):
from being apprehended by immigration and customs enforcement agents. And
then there is this from the Chicago Sun Times. Former
Michelle Obama aide and Smolette relative reached out to Kim Fox,
WHOA would we be surprised to learn the Obama's might
(22:09):
be involved in this? I wouldn't. Police union wants federal
investigation and the Kim Fox's handling of a case after
she exchanged texts with Smolett's relatives just days after Jesse
Smilett told Chicago police he had fought off a pair
of attackers who targeted him in an apparent hate crime.
(22:32):
Cook County States Attorney Kim Fox tried to persuade police
Superintendent Eddie Johnson attorney investigation over the FBI. You remember
that she wanted the FBI to handle this, the same
FBI that ran this scam investigation of Donald Trump. Kimberly
Fox or Kim Fox's called Eddie Johnson came after an
(22:53):
influential supporter of the Empire actor reached out to Fox
personal this person his team at Chen tc h e N,
a Chicago attorney and former chief of staff for former
First Lady Michelle my Belle Obama. This is according to
emails and text messages provided by Fox to the Chicago
(23:17):
Sun Times in response to a public records request. So
translating this, Kim Fox asked Eddie Johnson trying to persuade
Eddie Johnson attorney investigation over to the FBI after he
had detailed the evidence and his own disgust at this
(23:40):
crime and how it wasted the resources of the city
of Chicago. He didn't talk about the damage that had
been done to Trump or Trump supporters, but he did
refer to all of the insulting damage and costs to
the city of Chicago. So Kim Fox tries to get
(24:02):
the police represented turn the case over to the FBI.
After she gets a call from Tina chen As, Chicago
attorney former chief of staff for formers first Lady Michelle
my Belle Obama. Do you think they still got contacts
and the FBI at the Obama apparatus here? So this babe,
(24:26):
former chief of staff from Michelle my Belle Obama calls
Kim Fox trying to get the case moved over to
the FBI, and now the police union wants a federal
investigation into how she's handled this because she also exchanged
(24:47):
text messages with relatives of Just Smollette. And finally, what
I mentioned this in the in the opening hour, you know,
part of this crime is mail fraud. He mailed threatening
letters to it self. He mailed threatening letters to the
studio where Empire is produced in Chicago. And when that
(25:08):
didn't get the desired reaction, is what Smilette wanted. He
wanted the producers and the executives at Fox and an
Empire to see this threatening letter to him, threatening damage,
threatening to harm him, maybe kill him. He wanted that
to be publicized, and they didn't publicize it. And by
(25:29):
the way, for the record, most of these kinds of
things never do get publicized because you don't want to
give the people doing this and he not a riot
of your fame. But Smilette was upset, so he wrote
another letter, this one to himself in an attempt to
gain Well, this is mail fraud and that is a
(25:51):
federal crime. And Fox News is reporting today the FBI
is still looking into Just Smolette augitally sending himself a
death threat letter through the mail. A spokesperson for the
FBI UM said no comment, but the off the record
(26:12):
response was that there is still a serious examination of this.
We still have people who want to weigh in on this.
I'm going to go to the phones now because I
don't want to move from here to the updates on
themaller investigation and go to the phones in a few
minutes and have people talking about samolette. So let's stick
(26:33):
with the subject. And we have John here on the
phone from the South side of Chicago. I'm glad you called.
I'm glad you got through. How are you, sir? Think sir?
And rush welcome. This is Chicago where bald harvesting was created.
Rush Um, I'm surprised this one got passed you. The
superintendent now the Chicago Police Department. He is appointed by
(26:55):
the mayor. He is the mayor's hand picked person. This
whole thing doesn't pay as the smell test. He's not elected,
and he's given his talking points by the Mayor's office
on what to say on every high profile case. Wait
a minute, now, what lovely? So when Eddie Johnson, the superintendent,
went out and detailed the crime and expressed his disgust. Correct,
(27:17):
that was actually wrong, Immanuel dictating to him. Correct. And
I thought he was just trying because he's gonna be
out of office in a couple of months. He I
thought he was. He was just trying to network himself
out there to be the next police chief somewhere else
but that. But I spoke with a Northwestern law professor
and he goes, you know why he did that. I said, yeah,
he's trying to find a new job. He said, no,
(27:38):
he's trying to damage the case. They don't want to
see him go. And the more he talks about, the
more he goes on Good Morning America, George Stepanopolis's UM
network there, the more he goes on NBC and talked about,
the more it damages the case. And where a change
of venue or a change of a jury, if it
went that way, was going to be needed. You follow,
(28:00):
you follow? Yeah, I follow that. So, but but take
me back to the beginning of this. So the motivation
who so you're saying that Rama Manual tells Eddie Johnson
to go on TV start talking about this case, corrupt
the jury, the case, pollute the jury pool, and do
everything you can to damage the case because we don't
want this case. So Eddie Johnson was just following orders.
He wasn't telling us what he thinks. He was even
(28:22):
saying what what immanual wanted him to say, which I
guess we're to conclude from you that Ram Immanuel wanted
the case to have to be dropped or go away. Well,
obviously we don't have the impirical evidence, but I'll let
you use imagination on this one. Who has access to
Ron Obama and Hillary whoever, some whoever, some a lets
connected to this was gonna this was this was a
(28:43):
way for them to get rid of it. Was heading
in that direction. Now Kim Fox, who's a scumbag States
attorney from the get go, um, just got rid of
it just now. And the reason being is because there
are many, many, many bogus case reports out there in
the city of Chicago and not enough manpower to follow up.
So you don't think that Eddie Johnson's really livid about
(29:04):
this because he's just been following orders on along and
this is how he gets his next job exactly exactly.
That's what That's where I was going with this um.
But then the Northwestern Law. And if that's true, then
Eddie Johnson is good. This guy would in his press conferences,
he made everybody believe that he was personally offended by this,
that he was seriously disgusted by it. Ye. Now you're
(29:29):
the one that taught us this rush. It doesn't pass
the smell test. Self appointed Ram Emmanuel police superintendent, and
he's gonna come up like this, No, no, wait, especially
with the amount of activists that he put in hiring
that why wouldn't when when Kim Fox drops the charges,
then why wouldn't she dump on the police server to
(29:49):
look and I can't take this case forward. The cops
have been out there polluting my case and destroying it.
They've they've screwed up in the jury pool. They've they've
convinced everybody the defender is guilty. It's a miscarry. Why
wouldn't she say that instead of just letting everybody speculate
like we're doing here. Well, she still she still makes
she's not gonna go after Eddie Johnson because they circled
the wagons among the powerful, but she will go after
(30:11):
the investigators or the police that took the original case
report and that type of thing. But she won't go
after she won't go after the superintendent. She'll go after
those who did the research on it. She'll go after them,
if that makes sense to you. So you're telling us
that the nature of the evidence here is irrelevant and
it's going to be erased and it's not ever going
to see the light of day again. And that's why
(30:34):
Smolette doesn't apologize. That's why he can continue to go
out there and insists he didn't do it, because he's
gonna be backed up all the way to the mayor's
office and maybe to the office of Michelle my Belle Obama.
Now we are speculating on it, but with the Feds
do get involved. I would love for them, love for
them to put a warrn out on Kim Fox's phone
and get ahold of that and then the truth. Then
(30:56):
the truth will be there. Now, look at we're really
going far. If field here, well, that's just it. But
remember there are thousands of pon thousands of bogus case
reports here in Chicago, and and if this is Molett's
first offense, um, nothing's happened to the styles a minute. Now,
are you are you saying that you think that the
case report here maybe bogus. Yes, absolutely, Wait, you're saying
(31:23):
that you think Smolette may not have done this. Absolutely,
he didn't do it. He did. He did create I mean,
he did create a phony story and he notified the police,
and in doing so, he made a bogus case report. Oh, okay,
the occasion reports real based on what he said. He
did lie about it. He did make this all up. Okay,
you're you're not You're not saying that it's that stacked
(31:45):
against him? No, and absolutely, And what's gonna what should
happen to something to a first time of thunder who
makes a bogus case report? Something that happens to other
people who made a bogus case report here in Chicago?
Nothing so, and that's that's all. That's all you basically have.
But Rush, I, I gotta invite you. You You gotta come
down to Chicago and straighten some people out around here.
I mean, it's getting crazy. But you started the call
(32:07):
saying you can't believe how I missed this. How the
hell can I straighten anything out if I'm such an
idiot that I didn't see this. No, no one's calling
you an idiot. You're about as sharp as they come.
My guy, all right, let me review this. Because you're saying,
you say bogus case report, I hear something different in
the way you're using it. When I hear bogus case report,
(32:28):
I'm saying I'm hearing that somebody lied on the case report. Correct. Okay, Well,
but you're saying Smelette did the deed, he faked the attack,
He paid the two guys to go buy the mugging
supplies everything. So why is his why is why is
the case report bogus? Because the event never happened, The
incident never happened. It's something that he drummed up and
(32:51):
just concoct in his head. But then it's not the
case report that's bogus, it's Smelette that's bogus. Correct. But
the amount of the amount of case reports there out
there that are frivolous, that that that never really occurred
in the city are in the thousands, and nothing happens
to those people who did those case reports. So why
should anything happen to small Light? And that's what Kim
(33:11):
Fox I believe is basing her judgment on. I'm speculator.
Do you follow my train? Of thought on that. Yeah,
I think mostly mostly I do. Um, I think, But
don't kid yourself with the superintendent. He is wiried deep
and deep can come to the democratic way of doing things. Okay,
(33:32):
then answer me this. Okay, admittedly we are speculating, but
you seem to have an experienced insiders knowledge of the
Chicago way. So what would be the interest from let's
just say Michelle Obama. We know that that her former
chief of staff made a phone Callifox, so we know
(33:54):
that that she's involved here. We know they try to
get the case transferred to the FBI. Now you tell
that Eddie Johnson is not who we think he is
and he is actually out there corrupting the case by
being so public about the details. Um, you know, creating
a bias jury in the process of jury pool. Why
are all these people so interested in Smolett not being
(34:19):
charged and getting away with this because he reached out
for a favor whoever he sent his context to reach
out to the powerful people. He's looking for a favor.
He's looking to maintain rather his job. He's looking to
maintain his status in society. And he doesn't need uh,
he doesn't need a criminal case on him. What can
Smelett offer Michelle Obama? What can Smlett offer Kim Fox?
(34:43):
You say he reached out for a favor, that means
he's got to pay it somehow. Well again, um, perhaps, however,
I don't know what he had to offer. Um that
I don't know. But in those circles, if someone asked
you for a favor, they try to, you know, take
care of it, and that's all. That's all. I see
this as famous. So it is a two tier justice
(35:05):
system in uh, not just in Washington, but you're describing
one in Chicago to where money and fame and power
have greater access than people that don't have any of
those things. Correct. Correct. They're not going to burn you
to a stake if you're if you're a Hollywood actor,
they will if you're a priest or, a policeman, or
a politician or a radio talk show host. Well yeah,
(35:29):
but I still think you could come over here and
straighten a few people out. We need you to. Well,
I would love to look, and I appreciate the call
very much, Johnny Rush. Just so you know, I'm involved
in Cook County. I'm a Cook County sheriff. I've been
involved in the law enforcement for a while, So this
is where all this is coming from. I understand, I
know you. You're speaking with great experience and authority here,
and that's why that's why I'm querying you further, because
(35:51):
I want to in the any I want to go brendate, Uh,
what you're saying. I have no doubt that you speak
from in cider firsthand experience. We gotta go, we gotta
take a break. We'll be back in continue a moment.
And I gotta tell you, folks, if if, if I'm
wrong about this. I so admired that Chicago Police Superintendent
Eddie Johnson, and I I find it so difficult to
(36:14):
believe that he was simply carrying out orders from the
Mayor's office. I understand people thinking that he may have
presented problems getting a fair jury by going out and
being so definitive in what happened. But I thought the
(36:35):
guy was great, and I'll be forever disappointed if that
assessment turns out to be incorrect. I'm serious of it.
I really had great admiration for him. But you know
it is it is just it's incredible the Left will
not give up their hoaxes Smolette was attacked because Trump
(37:00):
doesn't like him and African Americans because Trump is a racist,
and because Trump is a Nazi. Trump colluded with the Russians,
because Trump sucks, because Trump is a is a cheater
and a thief, and who knows what else. And this
is why I call myself the mayor of real vill
(37:21):
These people live in a world where men can call
themselves women, women can call themselves men, and everybody else
has to agree with their hoaxes against science and nature,
or else they're gonna come for you and try to
wipe you out. And they are. They're becoming distant and
more distant daily from reality. They create these hoaxes, they
(37:46):
create these alternative universes, and then they live in them,
and they live in them for so long they become
one and the same. They end up believing the lies
and the hoaxes that they construct to explain their failures,
to explain their defeats. Then they create hawkeses about the
planet being in pero. Because of five percent of the
(38:09):
world's population, the United States of America tough to keep
up with this kind of irrationality.
The police chief in Chicago is furious. Well, the police
superintendent Eddie Johnson, who announced these charges against Smalllett in
the first place. If you're just turning on the radio,
the Chicago d A, the state Attorney Kim Fox, who
had recused herself from this case, has just announced the
charges against just Justse Smollett had been dropped and the
(00:22):
police were not consulted. They didn't know. He has paid
them ten thousand dollars. She's saying, well, he was only
gonna get community service if he was found guilty. He's
already done some great community service, and so we are
dropping the charges and his record will be expunged. And
this just happened moments ago this morning. This was revealed
(00:45):
about thirty forty five minutes ago. And what we're told
is that the police chief, Eddie Johnson, is a police superintendent,
is furious. He was not given the heads up that
that this was going to happen. It appears, folks, at best,
that I have been able to determine and I have
(01:07):
been immersed in this ever since it happened. It appears
that this has nothing to do with being a defect
in the evidence. It has nothing to do with the
fact that what he was accused of being or doing
didn't happen, or that they can't prove it. It rather
appears to be as my friend Andy McCarthy referred to
(01:28):
at moments ago on Fox as an act of mercy
on the part of the district attorney, deciding he'd been
through enough, that he had paid ten thousand dollars, he's
already performed significant amounts of wonderful work for the community
of Chicago, and so they are just deciding to to
(01:48):
drop charges. Smallett's team is now at the microphone. We're
gonna jip this when he speaks, because it's it'll be
interesting to see how he plays this if he if
he is contrite and apologizes for all of the grief,
because remember, he mailed phony letters to himself and that
(02:10):
is a federal crime. And you know, I don't know
what the Feds were gonna do in this case, if
they were even involved in it. But the state charges
have been totally dropped and they will never appear on
his record, but not because they couldn't prove it, and
not because he didn't do it, but rather apparently because
(02:31):
he's already paid a significant price ten tho dollars and
community service. So it was obviously some kind of a
massive negotiation between Smollett's lawyers and the state attorney district
attorney in Chicago. Cook County State Attorney Kim Fox is
(02:53):
the name. And I was confused about this because she
recused herself from this case at some point. Now she's
back in it. I don't know how that happens, but
still a lot to figure out about this. But once that, folks,
this is the kind of thing that actually, uh encourages
people to believe that there's a two tier justice system
(03:17):
and that people who have status or money or access
somehow have a better shot in front of the justice
system than than other people. And this follows one day
after this fiasco of the Mueller investigation was exposed for
what it is and about which there is going to
(03:38):
be much more today because this by no means should
in any way, shape, manner, or form considered to be
over this by a lot of people calling for this now.
And I am flattered because I addressed this yesterday. Look
at the counter intelligence apparatus of this country was utilized
(04:01):
and from the Obama administration, every one of these people
has ties back to the Obama administration. Every damned one
of them except for Mueller, and even he could be
said to have some ties. But all the FBI leadership
in Brennan and Clapper, all these people are from the
Obama administration and from the Obama counter intelligence UH apparatus
(04:24):
or series of agencies. And every one of these people
deserves to be examined and investigated to find out who
started this, whose idea it was, when it actually was
given life, and of course how much did Obama know
and when did he know it? And I am not
(04:45):
trying to use a cliche, and I'm not trying to
be provocative. This literally needs to happen. This was a coup,
It was an ongoing coup. It had multiple purposes. Its
primary purpose was to reverse the election results of two
th sixteen, however they could do it, forcing Trump to resign, impeachment,
you name it. The second purpose of this investigation was
(05:07):
to cover up what these people had done. Okay, okay, okay,
let's join Smuggler, because he's speaking. The incredible people of
Chicago and all over the country in the world, who
have prayed for me, who have supported me, who have
shown me so much love. Oh here we go. No
one will ever know however that has meant to me,
(05:27):
and I will forever be grateful. I want you to
know that, not for a moment was it in vain.
I've been truthful and consistent on every single level since
day one. I would not be my mother's son if
I was capable of one drop of what I've been
accused of. This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly
one of the worst of my entire life. But I'm
(05:50):
a man of faith, and I'm a man that has
knowledge of my history, and I would not bring my family,
our lives or the movement through a fire like this.
I just went did so. I want to thank my
legal counsel from the bottom of my heart, and I
would also like to thank the State of Illinois for
attempting to do what's right. Okay, well, now I'd like
(06:11):
nothing more than to just get back to work and
move on with my life. But make no mistakes, I
will always continue to fight for the justice, equality and
betterment of marginalized people everywhere. So again, thank you for
all the support, thank you for faith, and thank you
to God bless y'all. Thank you very much. Uh well, okay,
there you go, get rid of that. So we didn't
(06:32):
get what some people thought Smilette should do. That he
should have apologized, Maybe not apologize if he doesn't want
to admit that the whole thing was made up, but
apologize for the hassle, apologize for what happened when he
put the community through because of this. There wasn't any
(06:54):
of that. He continued to portray himself as a victim here. Oh,
now the question is going to beget why did they
actually drop the charges the police superintendent didn't know. Not
only not just dropping the charges, they're expunging the record.
There will be no record of this whatsoever. Now there's
(07:17):
a message that's being sent here with this. Let us
be bold and let us be truthful. Here. Any leftist activist,
to whatever degree, deranged and imbalanced, egged on by people
like Maxine Waters, can now fake hate crimes against Trump supporters.
(07:39):
They can then claim a fake lynching by Trump supporters.
They can then lie to the police, Then they can
lie to the media, Then they can lie to the
American people. They can cause a media frenzy against Trump supporters.
They can plead not guilty and apparently walk away Scott Free.
(08:00):
Can you say leftist privilege in the Cook County legal system?
This kid faked to hate crime against Trump's supporters because
he didn't like his cut of a hundred dollars per episode.
And it's more than that. The guy is a leftist
(08:22):
political activist. Then he lied to the police. So what happened?
What and which officials in Chicago played a role in
wiping this off the books? How did this happen? Jesse
(08:44):
Smollett says he's going to fight for equality. Isn't it
not clear that some people are more equal than others?
So here he is continuing to portray himself as a victim.
You know, I it's you see, folks, this stuff doesn't end.
(09:06):
You think that you win something real big, like the
Mueller Report coming out, and then it's only a few
short hours or days later that you are and we
are reminded that there aren't any lasting victories, that it
is an on going battle. Smolette has up until now
(09:27):
continue to claim and he didn't lie that everything he
said happened. Why should he get mercy? Well, according to
what we've been able to learn, he's getting mercy because
the Cook County State attorney thought that he wouldn't get
any more than community service the first time offender. They're
going to keep the ten thousand dollars he paid whatever
that was for Dale or or what have you. Uh.
(09:52):
I wonder I wonder if and I'm just speculating here
with my mind freely flow wing as an American. I'm
wondering if anybody Chicago once this trial began, if anybody
feared civil unrest. I wonder if they were concerned that
they might lose control of the city when the trial began.
(10:18):
Who knows, Uh, we don't know who all was involved
in act the actual decision of dropping the charges. But
but there it is the key for me in this
is the Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who went on
national TV to detail the evidence, to detail the commission
(10:42):
of the crime, to express his personal disgust over this
episode and why it was committed and by whom and
for what reasons. He was not consultant. He found out
about this, just like and I, via the media. He
(11:03):
probably got a flashphone call. Hey, superintended, they're dropping charges
against the Empire guy. What he had no idea. Smilette
did not apologize for anything he's put people through, continues
to portray himself as a as a victim here. So
(11:24):
I wonder how much more we're gonna learn as this unfolds,
will find out just how persistent the media is or
whether or not they feel like celebrating this. What are
you what are you saying to me in there? Mm hmm? What?
What communities would it what? Oh if the trial had
(11:45):
been allowed to proceed, what two communities would have been hurt? Uh? Well,
what what two? Are you thinking of? African American right
but Democrats as well as that the second thing you're thinking?
Uh yeah, yeah, it'd be tough a trial where somebody
actually convicted of falsely accusing people of being Trump supporters
(12:08):
of doing Yeah, as I say, I think that's the
idea of public unrest, riots, whatever you want to call them,
might be a factor. But we're just we're just speculating here.
The fact of the matter remains that it does appear
that there is a two tier justice system here and
that the reason the charges were dropped to have nothing
to do with the fact that they're not true. Let's
(12:29):
go back to Chicago and just smolette. Smelette insists that
he told the truth, even though there is video all
over the Internet of the two Nigerian guys buying the
mugging supplies with a check four mugging supplies that Smolett wrote,
(12:50):
the rope, the bleach, and the red hat. There is
store surveillance video of this. The superintendent of LEASA Chicago
went out and faced the nation on national television, detailing
the charges, expressing his disgust with Smolette and not understanding
(13:12):
why somebody in such a successful position would dare do
something like this, not only his own people, but to
the city of Chicago. So Smolette comes out today and says,
I'm not lying a stand by everything I said. Well, uh,
(13:34):
let's see. If Smolette insists that he told the truth,
what does that mean. Well, that means that Chicago police
are lying. That means that the superintendent Eddie Johnson is lying.
But it doesn't just mean that. It means that the
Chicago police must be corrupt as hell, and that the
(13:58):
state attorney for Cook County, Kim Fox, decided she had
to clean it up by dropping all the charges because
for some reason, the Chicago police are corrupt. So I
guess Kim Fox and others at the State Attorney's Office
in Cook County would rather have it looked like the
(14:20):
police tried to frame just Smilette rather than put Jesse
Smilette on trial. I mean, that's the inescapable conclusion of this.
The state attorney State Attorney's Office Cook County has decided
it's better for the cops to look corrupt, for the
(14:43):
police superintendent to appear to be a liar making it
all up, and that it looked like the cops framed
this poor guy rather than put Smolette on trial. You
know how great this is given how many minorities already
(15:05):
believe the police are out to get them, like Colin
Kaepernick and all the others, thanks to the Black Lives
Matter movement. Now the Black Lives Matter movement has been
has been basically stuck up for here. It's been validated.
The Chicago police are corrupt, they are liars. They had
(15:31):
it in for this guy. Is how this must appear. Now,
reverse the situation. Imagine if a white Trump supporter had
staged a hate crime on himself by a couple of
black guys, and imagine that there was video surveillance of
the black guys buying the stuff. Necessary to beat up
(15:54):
the white Trump supporter, and then it discovered that it
was a hoax and he was unrepentant. With the Chicago
Cook County State Attorney have given this mythical character any mercy.
So this police superintendent has to be livid over the
(16:18):
choice made by the d A or the State's Attorney's
office in Cook County. They'd rather it appeared the cops
are corrupt. Hey, look, they're not telling us why. They're
not telling us why the charges are dropped. So people
are having to speculate here. But it doesn't appear that
the charges were dropped because they can't prove them. It
(16:41):
appears to be an act of mercy by Kim Fox,
who had recused herself because she knows some people involved.
She knows somebody who knows smell act. Now she's somehow
back involved. Here is Matthew in Las Vegas. You're up
first end. It's great to have you high. Hey, Rush
Mega dittos from Las Vegas, Nevada. How are you doing?
(17:02):
I'm good, sir, Thank you much. I think that this
Molette thing is nothing more than a chips at tat.
You see CNN already talking about white supremacy mentioned that
Mueller's white, Trump's white. This is a typical Chicago mentality.
What do you think you mean, let me see a
translate that you think. Let me let me put this
(17:25):
in my words. I'm gonna tell you how I heard
what you just said. You just say yes or no? Okay, okay.
The state attorney in Cook County hates Donald Trump and
cannot stand effect that Mueller came back with no collusion
and that there wasn't any obstruction and that Trump is
(17:45):
gonna get away scott free. And if Trump's gonna get
away with it, in the hell, if Smollett's going to jail,
We're not gonna put the black guy in jail of
Trump's getting away with it. And so the state attorneys
Chicago's screw this and drops the charges against Molette because
she's so ticked off that Mueller found nothing on Trump.
Is that what you're saying? Absolutely, this is the way
these momo liberals think. Well, I have to do what
(18:09):
they think. Look, folks, before you discount this, and you know,
sensible people might come on it. Could We're talking today
about the modern incarnation of not just the Democrat Party,
but the extreme depths to which the American left has plunged.
(18:35):
I think it's entirely possible. I think that it is.
I think you you. I have tried, over the course
of the past two years to tell people how victriolic
and how personal is the hatred for Donald Trump by
people on the left. It's beyond rational comprehension the depth
(18:58):
of hatred they harbor, and they've harbored it and is
built every day for two years. And they have been
led to believed by their trusted sources that Trump is history,
that Muller is going to get the goods, that Trump
stole the election, that it was Hilary's, and then the
Mueller report comes. I cannot tell you. I do not
have the human ability to describe for you the utter
(19:22):
devastation and disappointment and rage and anger some of these
people felt. And if this d A, the state's attorney,
Kim Fox, is one of these never trumpers that despises
and hates him, I can totally see her in a
fit of pique, saying, I'll be damned if this cracker,
if this Trump is going to get away with it
(19:43):
and just let Smolett go as a matter of spite
I wouldn't wouldn't doubt that we are learning more as
is understandable and predictable about people involved in the decision.
In Chicago, the Cook County States attorneys a Office, Kim
Fox is the state attorney here who has dropped charges
(20:07):
against the actor Just Smollette. I want to read to
you from the official biography on Fox, under a section
in which she is described to have undertaken substantial reform.
Fox's accomplishments include overhauling the state Attorney's offices Conviction Integrity Unit,
(20:32):
resulting in overturned convictions in over twenty cases, including the
first ever mass exoneration in Cook County for fifteen men
whose convictions stemmed from misconduct by a Chicago police officer.
Now what can we glean from this, Well that she
(20:56):
may have a problem with the cops, and course, if
you are leftist, you probably do have problems with the cops.
She also, in addition to not liking the cops, she
doesn't like ice. Kimberly Fox urged Chicagoans who want to
(21:20):
show their support for immigrants to escort witnesses to court
and do what they can to put their bodies in
front of immigration and Customs enforcements agents trying to seize
illegal immigrants, not that the Cook County State Attorney was
advocating for Chicago citizens to shield and protect illegal immigrants
(21:46):
from being apprehended by immigration and customs enforcement agents. And
then there is this from the Chicago Sun Times. Former
Michelle Obama aide and Smolette relative reached out to Kim Fox,
WHOA would we be surprised to learn the Obama's might
(22:09):
be involved in this? I wouldn't. Police union wants federal
investigation and the Kim Fox's handling of a case after
she exchanged texts with Smolett's relatives just days after Jesse
Smilett told Chicago police he had fought off a pair
of attackers who targeted him in an apparent hate crime.
(22:32):
Cook County States Attorney Kim Fox tried to persuade police
Superintendent Eddie Johnson attorney investigation over the FBI. You remember
that she wanted the FBI to handle this, the same
FBI that ran this scam investigation of Donald Trump. Kimberly
Fox or Kim Fox's called Eddie Johnson came after an
(22:53):
influential supporter of the Empire actor reached out to Fox
personal this person his team at Chen tc h e N,
a Chicago attorney and former chief of staff for former
First Lady Michelle my Belle Obama. This is according to
emails and text messages provided by Fox to the Chicago
(23:17):
Sun Times in response to a public records request. So
translating this, Kim Fox asked Eddie Johnson trying to persuade
Eddie Johnson attorney investigation over to the FBI after he
had detailed the evidence and his own disgust at this
(23:40):
crime and how it wasted the resources of the city
of Chicago. He didn't talk about the damage that had
been done to Trump or Trump supporters, but he did
refer to all of the insulting damage and costs to
the city of Chicago. So Kim Fox tries to get
(24:02):
the police represented turn the case over to the FBI.
After she gets a call from Tina chen As, Chicago
attorney former chief of staff for formers first Lady Michelle
my Belle Obama. Do you think they still got contacts
and the FBI at the Obama apparatus here? So this babe,
(24:26):
former chief of staff from Michelle my Belle Obama calls
Kim Fox trying to get the case moved over to
the FBI, and now the police union wants a federal
investigation into how she's handled this because she also exchanged
(24:47):
text messages with relatives of Just Smollette. And finally, what
I mentioned this in the in the opening hour, you know,
part of this crime is mail fraud. He mailed threatening
letters to it self. He mailed threatening letters to the
studio where Empire is produced in Chicago. And when that
(25:08):
didn't get the desired reaction, is what Smilette wanted. He
wanted the producers and the executives at Fox and an
Empire to see this threatening letter to him, threatening damage,
threatening to harm him, maybe kill him. He wanted that
to be publicized, and they didn't publicize it. And by
(25:29):
the way, for the record, most of these kinds of
things never do get publicized because you don't want to
give the people doing this and he not a riot
of your fame. But Smilette was upset, so he wrote
another letter, this one to himself in an attempt to
gain Well, this is mail fraud and that is a
(25:51):
federal crime. And Fox News is reporting today the FBI
is still looking into Just Smolette augitally sending himself a
death threat letter through the mail. A spokesperson for the
FBI UM said no comment, but the off the record
(26:12):
response was that there is still a serious examination of this.
We still have people who want to weigh in on this.
I'm going to go to the phones now because I
don't want to move from here to the updates on
themaller investigation and go to the phones in a few
minutes and have people talking about samolette. So let's stick
(26:33):
with the subject. And we have John here on the
phone from the South side of Chicago. I'm glad you called.
I'm glad you got through. How are you, sir? Think sir?
And rush welcome. This is Chicago where bald harvesting was created.
Rush Um, I'm surprised this one got passed you. The
superintendent now the Chicago Police Department. He is appointed by
(26:55):
the mayor. He is the mayor's hand picked person. This
whole thing doesn't pay as the smell test. He's not elected,
and he's given his talking points by the Mayor's office
on what to say on every high profile case. Wait
a minute, now, what lovely? So when Eddie Johnson, the superintendent,
went out and detailed the crime and expressed his disgust. Correct,
(27:17):
that was actually wrong, Immanuel dictating to him. Correct. And
I thought he was just trying because he's gonna be
out of office in a couple of months. He I
thought he was. He was just trying to network himself
out there to be the next police chief somewhere else
but that. But I spoke with a Northwestern law professor
and he goes, you know why he did that. I said, yeah,
he's trying to find a new job. He said, no,
(27:38):
he's trying to damage the case. They don't want to
see him go. And the more he talks about, the
more he goes on Good Morning America, George Stepanopolis's UM
network there, the more he goes on NBC and talked about,
the more it damages the case. And where a change
of venue or a change of a jury, if it
went that way, was going to be needed. You follow,
(28:00):
you follow? Yeah, I follow that. So, but but take
me back to the beginning of this. So the motivation
who so you're saying that Rama Manual tells Eddie Johnson
to go on TV start talking about this case, corrupt
the jury, the case, pollute the jury pool, and do
everything you can to damage the case because we don't
want this case. So Eddie Johnson was just following orders.
He wasn't telling us what he thinks. He was even
(28:22):
saying what what immanual wanted him to say, which I
guess we're to conclude from you that Ram Immanuel wanted
the case to have to be dropped or go away. Well,
obviously we don't have the impirical evidence, but I'll let
you use imagination on this one. Who has access to
Ron Obama and Hillary whoever, some whoever, some a lets
connected to this was gonna this was this was a
(28:43):
way for them to get rid of it. Was heading
in that direction. Now Kim Fox, who's a scumbag States
attorney from the get go, um, just got rid of
it just now. And the reason being is because there
are many, many, many bogus case reports out there in
the city of Chicago and not enough manpower to follow up.
So you don't think that Eddie Johnson's really livid about
(29:04):
this because he's just been following orders on along and
this is how he gets his next job exactly exactly.
That's what That's where I was going with this um.
But then the Northwestern Law. And if that's true, then
Eddie Johnson is good. This guy would in his press conferences,
he made everybody believe that he was personally offended by this,
that he was seriously disgusted by it. Ye. Now you're
(29:29):
the one that taught us this rush. It doesn't pass
the smell test. Self appointed Ram Emmanuel police superintendent, and
he's gonna come up like this, No, no, wait, especially
with the amount of activists that he put in hiring
that why wouldn't when when Kim Fox drops the charges,
then why wouldn't she dump on the police server to
(29:49):
look and I can't take this case forward. The cops
have been out there polluting my case and destroying it.
They've they've screwed up in the jury pool. They've they've
convinced everybody the defender is guilty. It's a miscarry. Why
wouldn't she say that instead of just letting everybody speculate
like we're doing here. Well, she still she still makes
she's not gonna go after Eddie Johnson because they circled
the wagons among the powerful, but she will go after
(30:11):
the investigators or the police that took the original case
report and that type of thing. But she won't go
after she won't go after the superintendent. She'll go after
those who did the research on it. She'll go after them,
if that makes sense to you. So you're telling us
that the nature of the evidence here is irrelevant and
it's going to be erased and it's not ever going
to see the light of day again. And that's why
(30:34):
Smolette doesn't apologize. That's why he can continue to go
out there and insists he didn't do it, because he's
gonna be backed up all the way to the mayor's
office and maybe to the office of Michelle my Belle Obama.
Now we are speculating on it, but with the Feds
do get involved. I would love for them, love for
them to put a warrn out on Kim Fox's phone
and get ahold of that and then the truth. Then
(30:56):
the truth will be there. Now, look at we're really
going far. If field here, well, that's just it. But
remember there are thousands of pon thousands of bogus case
reports here in Chicago, and and if this is Molett's
first offense, um, nothing's happened to the styles a minute. Now,
are you are you saying that you think that the
case report here maybe bogus. Yes, absolutely, Wait, you're saying
(31:23):
that you think Smolette may not have done this. Absolutely,
he didn't do it. He did. He did create I mean,
he did create a phony story and he notified the police,
and in doing so, he made a bogus case report. Oh, okay,
the occasion reports real based on what he said. He
did lie about it. He did make this all up. Okay,
you're you're not You're not saying that it's that stacked
(31:45):
against him? No, and absolutely, And what's gonna what should
happen to something to a first time of thunder who
makes a bogus case report? Something that happens to other
people who made a bogus case report here in Chicago?
Nothing so, and that's that's all. That's all you basically have.
But Rush, I, I gotta invite you. You You gotta come
down to Chicago and straighten some people out around here.
I mean, it's getting crazy. But you started the call
(32:07):
saying you can't believe how I missed this. How the
hell can I straighten anything out if I'm such an
idiot that I didn't see this. No, no one's calling
you an idiot. You're about as sharp as they come.
My guy, all right, let me review this. Because you're saying,
you say bogus case report, I hear something different in
the way you're using it. When I hear bogus case report,
(32:28):
I'm saying I'm hearing that somebody lied on the case report. Correct. Okay, Well,
but you're saying Smelette did the deed, he faked the attack,
He paid the two guys to go buy the mugging
supplies everything. So why is his why is why is
the case report bogus? Because the event never happened, The
incident never happened. It's something that he drummed up and
(32:51):
just concoct in his head. But then it's not the
case report that's bogus, it's Smelette that's bogus. Correct. But
the amount of the amount of case reports there out
there that are frivolous, that that that never really occurred
in the city are in the thousands, and nothing happens
to those people who did those case reports. So why
should anything happen to small Light? And that's what Kim
(33:11):
Fox I believe is basing her judgment on. I'm speculator.
Do you follow my train? Of thought on that. Yeah,
I think mostly mostly I do. Um, I think, But
don't kid yourself with the superintendent. He is wiried deep
and deep can come to the democratic way of doing things. Okay,
(33:32):
then answer me this. Okay, admittedly we are speculating, but
you seem to have an experienced insiders knowledge of the
Chicago way. So what would be the interest from let's
just say Michelle Obama. We know that that her former
chief of staff made a phone Callifox, so we know
(33:54):
that that she's involved here. We know they try to
get the case transferred to the FBI. Now you tell
that Eddie Johnson is not who we think he is
and he is actually out there corrupting the case by
being so public about the details. Um, you know, creating
a bias jury in the process of jury pool. Why
are all these people so interested in Smolett not being
(34:19):
charged and getting away with this because he reached out
for a favor whoever he sent his context to reach
out to the powerful people. He's looking for a favor.
He's looking to maintain rather his job. He's looking to
maintain his status in society. And he doesn't need uh,
he doesn't need a criminal case on him. What can
Smelett offer Michelle Obama? What can Smlett offer Kim Fox?
(34:43):
You say he reached out for a favor, that means
he's got to pay it somehow. Well again, um, perhaps, however,
I don't know what he had to offer. Um that
I don't know. But in those circles, if someone asked
you for a favor, they try to, you know, take
care of it, and that's all. That's all. I see
this as famous. So it is a two tier justice
(35:05):
system in uh, not just in Washington, but you're describing
one in Chicago to where money and fame and power
have greater access than people that don't have any of
those things. Correct. Correct. They're not going to burn you
to a stake if you're if you're a Hollywood actor,
they will if you're a priest or, a policeman, or
a politician or a radio talk show host. Well yeah,
(35:29):
but I still think you could come over here and
straighten a few people out. We need you to. Well,
I would love to look, and I appreciate the call
very much, Johnny Rush. Just so you know, I'm involved
in Cook County. I'm a Cook County sheriff. I've been
involved in the law enforcement for a while, So this
is where all this is coming from. I understand, I
know you. You're speaking with great experience and authority here,
and that's why that's why I'm querying you further, because
(35:51):
I want to in the any I want to go brendate, Uh,
what you're saying. I have no doubt that you speak
from in cider firsthand experience. We gotta go, we gotta
take a break. We'll be back in continue a moment.
And I gotta tell you, folks, if if, if I'm
wrong about this. I so admired that Chicago Police Superintendent
Eddie Johnson, and I I find it so difficult to
(36:14):
believe that he was simply carrying out orders from the
Mayor's office. I understand people thinking that he may have
presented problems getting a fair jury by going out and
being so definitive in what happened. But I thought the
(36:35):
guy was great, and I'll be forever disappointed if that
assessment turns out to be incorrect. I'm serious of it.
I really had great admiration for him. But you know
it is it is just it's incredible the Left will
not give up their hoaxes Smolette was attacked because Trump
(37:00):
doesn't like him and African Americans because Trump is a racist,
and because Trump is a Nazi. Trump colluded with the Russians,
because Trump sucks, because Trump is a is a cheater
and a thief, and who knows what else. And this
is why I call myself the mayor of real vill
(37:21):
These people live in a world where men can call
themselves women, women can call themselves men, and everybody else
has to agree with their hoaxes against science and nature,
or else they're gonna come for you and try to
wipe you out. And they are. They're becoming distant and
more distant daily from reality. They create these hoaxes, they
(37:46):
create these alternative universes, and then they live in them,
and they live in them for so long they become
one and the same. They end up believing the lies
and the hoaxes that they construct to explain their failures,
to explain their defeats. Then they create hawkeses about the
planet being in pero. Because of five percent of the
(38:09):
world's population, the United States of America tough to keep
up with this kind of irrationality.
