Art Now not wanting to leave politics, apparently is the basis for a federal

4
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,200
crime. Are you listening to these
people anyone? By the way, I

5
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,320
told Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durban about
this. The bottom line is this Trump

6
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:42,280
was charged with two counts of conspiracy
and two counts of substruction of an official

7
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:49,240
proceeding for adopting and pressing an unconventional
and controversial legal view that the electors in

8
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,679
this presidential race could be replaced with
new electors. Well, the indictment,

9
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,159
according to that analysis, is a
complete sham. Well yeah, if you

10
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,079
frame it exactly the way Box News
and Laura Ingram tried to frame it,

11
00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:07,959
then sure it looks like a sham. But this is just another technique,

12
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,359
like we discussed on yesterday's episode,
that the Republican Party and the Conservative movement

13
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,319
is willing to engage in the highest
order, the highest level of gaslighting,

14
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,799
to give some plausible deniability, to
give some benefit of the doubt, to

15
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,120
give some sliver of hope, to
conservatives who are now facing the third indictment

16
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,439
of their beloved former President Donald Trump. Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, and

17
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,879
gender non conforming individuals to another episode
of The Benjamin Dixon Show. Today is

18
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,519
Thursday, August third, two and
twenty three. Thank you so much for

19
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,959
joining me. Yesterday we covered the
third indictment of former President Donald Trump as

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,400
he was indicted in Washington, DC
Federal court over his involvement in the January

21
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,159
sixth insurrection and the fraudulent Elector scam
as he tried to defraud, according to

22
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:02,200
four counts of the indictment, defraud
the United States of America along with defrauding

23
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:08,520
voters. There's a lot to cover
in terms of how Republicans are responding and

24
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:15,120
how they are going to new levels
of gas lighting in order to give Donald

25
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:20,400
Trump cover in this particular story.
We'll talk about that in a moment,

26
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,639
but today is a rainment day and
he Donald Trump is headed to be digitally

27
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:31,639
fingerprinted now. According to reports,
he will not have a mug shot taken.

28
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:37,479
This is his third indictment and he
has not gotten a mug shot as

29
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:40,360
of yet. This is part of
the special treatment that he would get as

30
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:46,919
a former president that said, the
sheriff from Fulton County, Georgia took this

31
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,719
as an opportunity to let everyone know
that if Donald Trump is indicted on the

32
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:57,039
state level charges there headed up by
District Attorney Fannie Willis, if he is

33
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:04,400
indicted in Fulton County, Georgia for
his involvement in yet another plot to undermine

34
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:07,400
the election results from the state of
Georgia, if he is indicted there,

35
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:12,520
he will be fingerprinted and will receive
a mug shot. That is according to

36
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,560
the sheriff from Fulton County, Georgia
that said, I want to move to

37
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:23,759
some of the gaslighting. I mentioned
it yesterday. You know, one of

38
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,560
the things I do really well is
I can tell when Republicans have found a

39
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:34,599
new talking point. And yesterday we
played the clip of the Fox News guests.

40
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:38,919
In fact, I'll play it again
giving us a preview of how Republicans,

41
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,800
how conservatives were going to protect Donald
Trump and try to push back against

42
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:50,840
this prosecution and this indictment. Their
technique, well, they are trying to

43
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:57,879
categorize this indictment as being an indictment
of the First Amendment, Donald Trump's right

44
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,599
to exaggerate. Donald Trump First Amendment
right to lie, even just outright lie.

45
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:10,560
Donald Trump's First Amendment right to say
statements that could be fraudulent if acted

46
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:14,560
upon. What they are leaving out
on purpose, and I'll read a couple

47
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:18,680
of tweets from Senators Marco Rubio and
others. What they're leaving out is,

48
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,680
well, yeah, there was a
crime involved. There was a crime.

49
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,040
This is not a First Amendment indictment, but that does not stop the Republican

50
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:34,199
Party from using this talking point that
we covered yesterday. Take a room for

51
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:42,480
criticism in terms of the claims being
made about stolen elections, but it's criminalizing

52
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,240
all of that. You know.
It states in the indictment the president spent

53
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:53,680
months spreading false rumors and allegations of
election irregularities. Really is that a criminal

54
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,600
issue? I mean that is that
the basis of this conspiracy? Again,

55
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:01,360
that was the voice of Attorney Jonathan
t who is a conservative commentator on Fox

56
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:05,079
News. He was using that as
a trial balloon. This was the first

57
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:09,680
time I heard this defense for Donald
Trump. And it's not even a defense,

58
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,160
right, it's just outright gaslighting.
He tried it out on Fox News

59
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,839
two nights ago, and ever since
we've had non stop regurgitation of this talking

60
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,199
point, which is a lie.
They are trying to convince Republicans that this

61
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:30,480
indictment is an indictment over Donald Trump
saying false statements about the election, trying

62
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:32,759
to make it sound like this is
a First Amendment issue. Now they have

63
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:38,480
another defense that they're running simultaneously.
Listen to this clip of Lindsey Graham.

64
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:42,000
He's going to do a two for
one. He's doing two things. Specifically,

65
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:46,000
Number one, he's trying to make
the case that this case should not

66
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,279
be tried in Washington, DC,
because it's impossible for Trump to get a

67
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:54,600
fair trial in Washington, DC.
And then he simultaneously tries to float that

68
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,680
idea that this indictment is not really
a true indictment. It's an indictment of

69
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,519
the Any conviction in DC against Donald
Trump is not legitimate. So they're accused.

70
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,600
They're charging him with the crime of
taking bad legal advice. That's what

71
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,399
this is about. They're trying to
criminalize the attorney client relationship. They're trying

72
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:20,079
to criminalize exercising in the First Amendment. The judge in this case hayes Trump,

73
00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:26,240
you could convict Trump of kidnapping Lembergh's
baby in DC. You need to

74
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,199
have a change of venue, you
need a new judge, and we need

75
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,079
to win in twenty twenty four to
stop this crazy craft. That was the

76
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,839
dramatic music from Sean Hannity as he
gets ready to go, got ready to

77
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:41,240
go to break of Everything is high
alert drama over their own Fox News.

78
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,240
But did you hear the two for
one special Number one. They're trying to

79
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,480
convince Fox viewers that this again is
an issue of the Department of Justice overreaching

80
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,079
to indict Donald Trump over making false
davids when that's not the case. The

81
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,120
second thing they're trying to forward is
the idea that this indictment or whether this

82
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,759
case should not take place in Washington, DC. I want to read a

83
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,959
tweet from Marco Rubio, Senator Marco
Rubio from the state of Florida. This

84
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,959
is what he said on Twitter about
the indictment. He said quote, Apparently

85
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:17,480
it is now a crime to make
statements challenging election results if a prosecutor decides

86
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,680
those statements aren't true. So when
should we expect indictments of the Democrat politicians

87
00:07:23,879 --> 00:07:29,000
who falsely claimed Russia hacked the twenty
sixteen election. Again, this is not

88
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:33,199
an indictment about the false statements that
Donald Trump made. The false statements were

89
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,360
simply the precursor to the fraudulent elector
scam. It was a precursor to the

90
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,920
actions and the violence of January six. It became the foundation for the acts

91
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,040
of fraud. These people know this. Marco Rubio knows this, Lindsey Graham

92
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:55,879
knows this. Fox News knows this. But that doesn't stop them from gas

93
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,240
lighting the American people. In fact, Marco Rubio managed to get a community

94
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,759
note on Twitter or x or whatever
Elon Musk wants us to call it this

95
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,560
week. A community note is when
the community gives you a rating on how

96
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,759
truthful your statement is. Now,
normally I don't trust the community notes because

97
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:22,839
it's something that's really stormed and spammed
by right wing bots. But somehow or

98
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:26,639
another, well, here's how it
happened. Marco Rubio's statement is so false

99
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,320
that even Twitter community notes had to
rate it as such. This is what

100
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,519
the community note says to Marco Rubio's
tweet. It says, quote this week's

101
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,279
criminal indictment of former President Trump explicitly
states that it is not a crime to

102
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,480
challenge elections or to make false statements
about them. The indictment indictments alleged Trump

103
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:52,879
and co conspirators took actions to commit
fraud and impede government functions. Well,

104
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:58,960
that's finally a win for for community
notes, but that still hasn't stopped conservative

105
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,159
from forwarding the same lie, and
it doesn't prevent them from forwarding their thinly

106
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,919
veiled threats. Here's another clip from
Laura Ingram where she is basically saying,

107
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120
get ready, because what you've done
to Donald Trump, we're going to do

108
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:16,519
to you. If this is how
low the bar is set going forward,

109
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,600
then Smith and Garland and every prosecutor
who pushed this fraud of a case should

110
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:28,960
all expect to face similar treatment to
what they're putting Trump through. That's the

111
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,080
thread. So on multiple levels,
the Republican Party is doing everything and Conservatives

112
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:39,519
they're doing everything they can to neutralize
the ability of this country to hold Donald

113
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:46,080
Trump accountable for actual crimes. They
will gas light, they will distort,

114
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:50,159
they will outright lie, and then
they will threaten, they will make thinly

115
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:56,240
veiled threats because we dare to hold
the former president accountable. In fact,

116
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,240
it's not even just conservatives. Well, the New York Times. Depend on

117
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:03,279
which writer you get over at the
New York Times. But here's the headline

118
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:09,440
from New York Times. Trump election
charges set up clash of lies versus free

119
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,320
speech. No, it doesn't,
the New York Times, this is not

120
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:18,879
The indictment does not set up a
clash between free speech and and lies.

121
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,080
No, it sets up a clash
between a president who used his lies as

122
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,320
the foundation for the crimes that he
later committed and that he encouraged other people

123
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,320
to commit. The real conflict,
the real clash that's going on right now

124
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,879
is how many people are going to
create space for this gas lighting that's coming

125
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,919
from Republicans. And not only are
they gas lighting us on the basis of

126
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,720
like, like you can't read for
yourself. You look at the indictment to

127
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:46,879
see, oh, he's being indicted
for X, Y and Z, and

128
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:50,759
they said, no, he's actually
being indicted for amb. You know,

129
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:56,519
it's real. It really is,
is plane and clear as day as being

130
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,720
able to read for yourself. But
it does matter because the party's greatest command

131
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,399
was that two plus two equaled five. And the Republican Party's demand is that

132
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,279
you look at this indictment and forget
about. I mean, first of all,

133
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,279
if you just don't read it,
then that's even better, and just

134
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,399
take their word forward, because their
word says that this is an indictment over

135
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:22,799
his free speech, therefore it's illegitimate. And if that's not enough, they're

136
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,799
going for this idea. I play
a clip in the next after this break,

137
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,200
this idea that Donald Trump should be
taken to another district, somewhere more

138
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,039
conservative so that he can get a
fair trial, because he's not capable of

139
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,080
getting a fair trial in Washington,
DC. We'll be back with more of

140
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:50,440
the Benjamin Dixon Show right after this
break. I'm in nine with the Stars.

141
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,080
I'm a sing with the Earth Tinto's
deeflour Chow from the turf. I

142
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,960
never switch sides, like even when
I die. I'm a ride for the

143
00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,000
squad. A letter ties in the
hearst in on the five. Kind of

144
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,840
hard to describe. I remember between
I'm good and it's fine, but I'm

145
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:07,120
tired of the ground. Then I
come alive in the night to realize them

146
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,000
in the middle with a time of
my life. I never saw pack light

147
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:20,759
on the backgro the page that I
write it. Queen the Tson Welcome back

148

to The Benjamin Dixon Show. Visit
us online at the Benjamin Dixon Show dot

149

com. Welcome back, Yeah,
welcome back. So we have a two

150
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,840
full one gas lighting that's happening right
now. The entire country is being gas

151
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:50,320
lit over Donald Trump's third indictment.
Conservatives, they have taken the position of

152
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,240
just outright lying saying that this is
a an indictment over the First Amendment.

153
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:00,399
They're trying to limit the scope in
the mind of their followers, trying to

154
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,159
limit and say, this is what
the indictment is about. Don't ask any

155
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:11,519
other questions. It's not about actual
fraud. It's not about disenfranchising American defrauding

156
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:13,960
in the United States of America with
his fake elector scam. It's not about

157
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,120
that. No Republicans are going with
the full throated lie that this is an

158
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,320
indictment over the free speech of the
president to tell lies. And then the

159
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,679
second thing they're trying to do is
obviously use this as an opportunity to undermine

160
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,960
the Department of Justice, the FBI, but specifically by claiming that it's impossible

161
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,440
for not only Donald Trump to get
a fair trial in cities like Washington,

162
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:41,039
d c but it's impossible for conservatives
to get a fair trial in those cities.

163
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,759
Here is Sean Hannity with his dramatic
music, asking this question of Governor

164
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,879
Rond De Santis, who is also
running for the President of the United States.

165
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:54,960
And I know your rivals right now, but you said something that I

166
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,039
really stuck with me, and that
is, I don't believe any Republican and

167
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,279
get a fair trial in Washington,
DC, or New York or in Fulton

168
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,720
County, Georgia. Should there be
a better way to administer justice and not

169
00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:18,320
put liberal Democrats in conservative districts for
trials. It should be a district where

170
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:24,000
there is a fair balance of a
jury pool. Absolutely. I mean in

171
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:28,320
DC, they will go after you
if you're a Republican. The facts feed.

172
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,120
Damn. Republicans don't have a fair
shot there. They should be able

173
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,480
to have a fair trial somewhere else, all right, God, I mean

174
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,960
talk about a two tiered system of
justice right there. He's even Sean Hannity

175
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:46,559
even through in Fulton County, Georgia. Now, listen, I know Atlanta

176
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:50,440
is black, in Fulton County is
Atlanta, but this is still Georgia,

177
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:54,279
and there is well I'm saying this
is still Georgia. I don't live there

178
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,799
anymore, but when I live there, let me reassure you that Georgia is

179
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,879
still white. Atlanta still has plenty
of white good old boys as well as

180
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:09,759
the genter fire. So there's plenty
of white folks that are there for Donald

181
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,799
Trump, and there's plenty of conservatives
there for Donald Trump. But it's funny

182
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,799
how he pointed out Fulton County,
Georgia, as if it is the same

183
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:24,159
type of elitist bastion of liberal democracy
as Washington, DC, or New York

184
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,120
for that matter. I mean,
I don't even think New York is right.

185
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,120
So they're really crafting this ridiculous argument
that conservatives can't get or Donald Trump

186
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,039
specifically can't get a fair trial in
any of these cities. Where do you

187
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,480
want him to go? Well,
Donald Trump has a request himself. He's

188
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,519
very specific about it, that this
talker boyd has gotten really popular. Donald

189
00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:50,559
Trump took to truth Social last night
and this is what he said about his

190
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:54,679
venue. He said, quote,
the latest fake case brought by crook at

191
00:15:54,799 --> 00:16:00,759
Joe Biden and deranged Jack Smith will
hopefully be moved to an empire Marcial venue

192
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:06,720
such as the politically unbiased nearby state
of West Virginia. Impossible to get a

193
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:10,840
fair trial in Washington, DC,
which is over nine anti Trump, and

194
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:14,720
for which I've called for a federal
takeover. Well, I mean that federal

195
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:18,519
takeover part is why you got in
trouble in the first place, Donald Trump.

196
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,120
But I digress, continuing on for
which I have called for its federal

197
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,279
takeover in order to bring our capital
back to greatness. It is now a

198
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,799
high crime embarrassment. It is now
a high crime. It's hard reading,

199
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,960
Donald Trump. It is now a
high crime embarrassment to our nation and indeed

200
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:40,159
the world. This indictment is all
about an election interference. Okay, Anyway,

201
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,399
he said a lot, but the
core part is at the beginning where

202
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,159
he wants to go to West Virginia. He wants to go to West Virginia

203
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,440
to have a I mean, is
it because West Virginia went for Donald Trump

204
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:52,120
in the twenty election? I mean, I know, Georgia flipped. And

205
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,840
so what they're basically saying is that
it's impossible for conservative to get a fair

206
00:16:56,879 --> 00:17:00,120
trial Donald Trump, specifically to get
a fair trial in Washington DC or in

207
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:06,839
a liberal or a state that voted
blue. Georgia is not blue. Georgia

208
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,400
is purple at best. And that's
what I get for arguing and discussing these

209
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,599
things within the frame, the frame
that's given to us by conservatives, right

210
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,960
they now, we're going to be
discussing whether or not he should change venues.

211
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,240
No, no, we're not going
to discuss that in the merits of

212
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:26,440
whether or not a conservative kit.
Of course, a conservative can get a

213
00:17:26,519 --> 00:17:32,400
fair trial anywhere in this country.
This entire system capitulates and bends over backwards

214
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,559
for conservatives, especially rich conservative men, but that doesn't stop them from using

215
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,359
this next level of gaslighting. And
of course, someone like Ronda Santis goes

216
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:47,799
one step further and wants to defund
the entire DOJ and FBI as a result

217
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,039
of this. So this whether or
not they get a change of venue,

218
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:55,559
it doesn't matter so much as they're
using this as an opportunity to forward their

219
00:17:55,799 --> 00:18:00,000
fascist agenda, which is to destroy
the FBI the d because the FBI and

220
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:06,319
the DJ had the nerve to investigate
these insurrections in the first place. Listen

221
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,200
to Texas Representative Chip Roy from the
nineteenth Congressional District of Texas on Fox News.

222
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,279
We ought to stop funding the stuff, Stop funding alle hundred, my

223
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,319
orcas, an open borders, stop
funding an FBI that is out of control,

224
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:22,640
stop funding a DOJ that's out of
control and targeting a former president.

225
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,440
Now, now, don't mistake this
for defund the police, right. They

226
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:30,720
just want to defund the current iteration
of the FBI so that they can reconstitute

227
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:36,799
it into something that is less threatening
to the conservative agenda. No matter what

228
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:41,079
they do. They need a DOJ
and an FBI that will look at an

229
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,160
insurrection and turn the other eye because
well, they're complicit with it, right.

230
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:51,799
They want a DJ that works as
co conspirators and not people, not

231
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,839
an institution that will ever hold them
accountable. And it's again, it's not

232
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,279
just the doj' it's the entirety of
the federal government. Listen to Don Junior,

233
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,759
Not Don Junior, which one is
this? This is Eric, the

234
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,720
one that he likes less. Listened
to Eric Trump as he discusses the need

235
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:15,960
to defund the IRS because the IRS
is weaponized against people like Donald over Russia.

236
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,400
I mean, how about Obama literally
weaponizing the IRS against all conservatives.

237
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,160
This is what they do and This
is what my father, more so than

238
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,400
any person in American history, has
shown the American people. He's literally exposed

239
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,880
these frauds for exactly who they are. And it's sad. We're no better

240
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,880
than some of these third world countries
around the world. You know, we

241
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:44,119
are literally trying to imprison political opponents. We're better than this. So again,

242
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,720
okay, So here's the obvious.
Other layer is that this is all

243
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:51,960
frivolous and from the beginning, and
that this is the political persecution of a

244
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:56,599
political opponent. So they have plenty
of ways of trying to excuse this away.

245
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:03,839
The interesting thing about this particularly indictment
is that it has given Mike Pence,

246
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,640
former Vice President Mike Pence somewhat of
a backbone, somewhat of a spine.

247
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,960
When we come back after this Patron
party, we'll play some clips of

248
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,200
Mike Pence talking well, talking like
someone who doesn't want anything to do with

249
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:23,000
Donald Trump. We'll be back right

Visit us online at the Benjamin Dixon
Show dot com. Welcome back,

263
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:52,640
Welcome back. What a difference an
indictment makes. I want to play a

264
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,000
clip, two clips for you of
Mike Pence, former Vice President Mike Pence.

265
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,640
I want to play a clip of
him on CNN with Dana bashed last

266
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:06,640
week, as she has to remind
him that Trump and his supporters called for

267
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:11,680
him to be hanged, and yet
he still didn't say anything for the last

268
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:15,319
year two years said nothing, just
kind of, you know, kind of

269
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:21,119
weaseled his way around it. But
his song and dance has changed dramatically.

270
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,759
So the first clip is going to
be of of the real Mike Pence,

271
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:27,400
and then the second clip will be
of how Mike Pence is sounding now that

272
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:32,000
there's a third and dipement on Donald
Trump. He's sounding a little frog group

273
00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:34,640
of voters, much more passion than
they had in twenty twenty, and much

274
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,680
more passion than they had in twenty
sixteen. I think it would be very

275
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:45,240
dangerous. Does that kind of rhetoric
worry you, Well, it doesn't worry

276
00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:49,039
me because I have more confidence in
the American people. I'm not concerned about

277
00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:52,160
it. Beyont. That's pretty remarkable
that you're not concerned about it, given

278
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,680
the fact that they wanted to hang
you on January sixty. Okay, so

279
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:00,880
that was last week. Now here's
Mike Pence yesterday day after the indictment.

280
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,759
The third indictment came down for Donald
Trump. But let's let's be clear on

281
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:08,799
this point. It wasn't just that
they asked for a pause. The president

282
00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:17,400
specifically asked me and his gaggle of
crackpot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes

283
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,079
to which would have resulted in in
the issue being turned over to the House

284
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,920
of Representatives, and literally chaos would
have ensued. So Martha, I just

285
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:30,519
people. People can read the indictment, and frankly, I've said before,

286
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:33,559
I had hoped that it had not
come to this point. You know,

287
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,039
I don't know if the government can
meet the standard the burden of proof beyond

288
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:45,640
reasonable doubt for criminal charges, but
the American people deserve to know that President

289
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:51,599
Trump and his advisers didn't just ask
me to pause. They asked me to

290
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,119
reject votes, return votes, essentially
to overturn the election and to keep faith

291
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,240
with the oath that I made to
the American people and to Almighty God.

292
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,480
I rejected that out of hand,
and I did my duty that day.

293
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,960
Okay, Mike Pence grew a spine. You know. Of course, he

294
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:11,839
has the cover now of the indictment
from Jack Smith, and he also has

295
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,519
the incentive that he's running for president
himself. But I also think that Mike

296
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:21,759
Pence is a part of the standard
Republican establishment that's totally okay with the things

297
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:26,200
that Donald Trump did. They just
don't like Donald Trump because he's uncouth.

298
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,119
Right, So this is this is
not a victory, This is not a

299
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:37,279
change of heart or character for Mike
Pence. This is opportunistic and this is

300
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,880
opportunistic for his own personal political ambitions
running for president. But also it is

301
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:48,839
opportunistic and that it is the opportunity
that the Republican establishment has to get rid

302
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:52,880
of Donald Trump. And so he's
leaning in. But you know, I

303
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,400
don't know if someone tried to hang
me, had their followers tried to hang

304
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:02,160
me, I think I'd have to
lean in and a lot sooner than two

305
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:29,359
years after the fact. I wanted
to go to New York City where twenty

306
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:37,319
eight year old O'Shea Sibley, a
gay black man, was killed while dancing

307
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:44,759
voguing at a gas station. According
to The Daily Beast, O'Shea was attacked

308
00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:48,640
when a group of men approached him
and his friends and demanded that they stopped

309
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,519
dancing. According to The New York
Times, the men hurled slurs at Sibley,

310
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:57,319
a gay man, and others before
the argument turned deadly. The Times

311
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:03,000
reported that Sibley had been voguing,
a style of dancing originating in the nineteen

312
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:10,279
eighties and associated with the Harlem ballroom
scene and associated today with Beyonce's Renaissance album.

313
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,799
The Dancer O'Shea Sibley. The victim
had been dancing and voguing to the

314
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,279
Renaissance album when some men came up
and told them to stop. He didn't

315
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:30,880
stop, and they stabbed him,
and they killed him because he was voguing.

316
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,720
I'm going to assume that everyone knows
what voguing is, because if someone

317
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:40,640
as square as myself knows what it
is, then I'm quite sure just average

318
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,000
people shouldn't know what voguing is.
And um, you know, while it

319
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:51,440
is, it is traditionally associated with, you know, like the lgbt QIA

320
00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:56,119
scene. You know that they'd be
killing it, right. The dance is

321
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,559
just whether it's a woman doing it
or a guy doing it, or gender

322
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:04,680
not conforming individual doing it, it's
like it's a style of dance, and

323
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:12,000
it got this young man killed because
of homophobia. I mean, just full

324
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:18,920
stop. This is why I take
the position that I do as a pretty

325
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:26,519
square conservative traditional guy, a preacher, a pastor, and all the things

326
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:32,240
that I do, I attempt to
be the very best ally I can for

327
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:40,160
the LGBTQIA community, because there is
a faction of people who are actively in

328
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:47,359
acting violence against their lives. And
I don't care what you believe. I

329
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,759
don't care who you love. I
don't care what you teach and preach in

330
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,079
your church on Sunday mornings, when
we are living in the situation when a

331
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:03,960
person can die because of the home
homophobia that is required to look at a

332
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,400
person who's voguing. And instead of
a couple of choices here, you could

333
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,359
have mind. You could have minded
your own business and just went on about

334
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,279
your business. But instead of minding
your own business, you killed them.

335
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,599
The better option would have been two
things. One, just watch and support

336
00:28:21,559 --> 00:28:26,880
and cheer him on and let him
do his thing, because it's a fabulous

337
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,920
dance form. And I don't care
what I don't care what you believe.

338
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:37,599
Are you Are you so insecure in
your masculinity, in your straightness that seeing

339
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,359
someone vogue triggers you and now you
have to enact violence. Then you are

340
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:45,119
exactly the type of person who is
our enemy. You are the enemy of

341
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:49,519
good faith, you're the enemy of
coexistence. And those type of people we

342
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:55,960
do not have to tolerate in society. Because victims like O'shay Sibley end up

343
00:28:56,079 --> 00:29:00,079
dying. The third option is you
could have joined in. Listen, I

344
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:06,119
can I just say something. I
have fun with my kids, and every

345
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,640
nine and then is as corny as
square as I am and traditional whatever you

346
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,680
want to label me. Sometimes I
have enough fun and I'm silly enough with

347
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:17,799
my kids to vogue with them.
I don't do it as good as as

348
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,279
the guys on the stage, right, But but by my goodness, can

349
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:29,440
we not have the type of society
where you don't have to be gay in

350
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,559
order to just one mind your business
and let people live their life, right,

351
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:40,319
that's the that's the threshold. Mind
your business and go on about your

352
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,960
life and let someone be fabulous in
their lavender. That's a that's a meme.

353
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:52,599
Sorry, but you could literally just
let someone be fabulous. But we

354
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,240
don't live in that society. We
live in the society where if you are

355
00:29:56,599 --> 00:30:03,960
are so homophobic that you can't watch
someone vogue without just going about your business

356
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:07,240
and minding your business, or you
can't cheer them on because let them be

357
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,559
fabulous, or you can't be human
enough or secure enough to get out there

358
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:22,200
and vogue with them what type of
what type of sad world are we creating

359
00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:26,400
around us? Well, i'll tell
you what. It's not one that we're

360
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,119
gonna sit idly by and allow this
to continue to happen. Right, We're

361
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,880
not just going to sit back and
allow the homophobia and the transphobia to get

362
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,640
to the point where people are being
killed on a regular basis and we say

363
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,200
nothing about it, and we don't
fight back against it. And so now

364
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,400
a man gets killed because he was
voguing a black woman, susgender black woman,

365
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,839
Michelle Dion Peacock, killed because somebody
thought she was trans. Not to

366
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,920
mention all of the trans women who
are killed because they encountered somebody who is

367
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,440
transphobica. No, no, no, We're not tolerating that kind of siety.

368
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:07,920
And this is you. Anyone who
puts their religion over the humanity,

369
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:14,440
the life, the fact that these
people are being killed. Anyone who puts

370
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,640
their religion over the safety of someone
else and then use that or rather use

371
00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:23,640
that religion as a justification to commit
acts of violence against these communities. Those

372
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:27,920
people, those people are the enemies
of good faith, and we must opposed

373
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:33,839
