Now here's the question I asked. You people keep asking, well, why do so many races support President Trump? Now the quick answer is conservatives always support Republicans because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter who is running on the Democrat side. Pretty much all the Democrats, you know, probably 95 percent of them would support whoever, just because Democrat. How is that not obvious? And I…
← Previous segment →So when we're dealing in the next year with hoax number five, which is the New York Times has announced they're going to make the news in this coming year all about racism, I saw the first take of it this morning. They wrote an article. The headline says that the reason we don't have universal health care is racism. I mean, they're really serious about making every story about racism. Now I didn't read the story because I don't feel like I need to, because whatever that story says I just don't think it could possibly be actual news. Whatever it is, it looks like it's just narrative pounded into a topical story.
So some people were suggesting that instead of hoax number five I call the latest hoax, the one that says orange man causes racism not the fake news, that I should call it the racist hoax. So it's a hoax that the president's racist. But you never work for racists, right, in your messaging, because as soon as people see the word they're already thinking negative things about Trump. So just, I wouldn't use that word. I would diminish their hoaxing to simple chapters: hoax one, hoax two, hoax three, hoax four, or hoax five. If somebody wants to question you about why you're calling it hoax five, you're going to have to explain the other four. So that's good for you if you have to explain all the hoaxes that led up to this one.

Now people are saying how come I didn't include the Jussie Smollett hoax? That was sort of borderline for me. I decided to leave it out because the hoaxer was Jussie Smollett and the people getting hoaxed were the media on both sides for a while, more of the media on the left. I don't think the media on the right ever quite fell for it, did they? So in the smaller case the victims were the anti-Tr…
