My favorite thing.

I was going to say, this does give me a strange respect for Jussie Smollett because he actually funded his own hate crime hoax.

He did that.

He didn't get SPLC to do it.

He put his own money into it.

So you really got to support your mom and pop hate crime hoaxers who are doing it.

That's not what they were doing.

They were paying for informants, they claim, to go in and investigate these hate groups and

And even if we were to accept that excuse, which I don't because it's BS, but even if we did, well, that just speaks to the degree to which these left-wing activist groups essentially function as these quasi-government agencies.

You don't have the legal authority to go out there and pay for informants to run these elaborate investigations of domestic terror groups.

You're the SPLC.

You're not the FBI.

You're not actually a law enforcement agency.

So even if we accepted that excuse, it still speaks to the corruption that these kinds of... We consider that we're under the tyranny of unelected bureaucrats and unelected judges, and we are.

We're also under the tyranny of unelected

activist groups that have been empowered, especially under the Biden administration, to act as though they are bureaucrats and law enforcement agents.

Well, speaking of the government.

Did you just make that movie up?
