Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party
1
[D'Souza] If you make a film criticizing
the most powerful man in the world,
expect the empire to strike back.
Empty your pockets.
No cell phones, no wallets.
If you check in every night by eight,
you and me will have no trouble.
Hey, Jose, you trying
to make me jealous?
Just wait your turn.
Your rubdown is next.
- What prison you coming from?
- I-I didn't get prison.
That's too bad.
You go to a white-collar prison,
Martha Stewart type,
you get tennis courts and libraries.
Inmates are mayors, business execs,
doctors stealing Medicare,
tax evaders, people like that.
- Well, what about in here?
- Much different class of people.
But, uh, it's safe here, right?
Next.
[chuckles]
Don't be gentle.
[indistinct conversations]
[heart beating loudly]
Think I'm up here.
Let's not get too cozy, huh?
When I get back to my wife,
I don't want to wake up in the morning
and whisper your name.
[D'Souza] They're trying
to teach me a lesson.
They think I don't get it.
Maybe they're right.
For years, I've had an idealized
picture of America.
What's dawning on me now
is that I've been too focused on America
as it ought to be.
There's another America,
the America of the street,
with its own code and its own rules.
There's power in getting into a gang
and controlling the whole neighborhood.
It's like my home country of India.
There, the whole country
is controlled by gangs..
street gangs, political gangs.
They own you.
That's why I left India...
You all right, homey?
[D'Souza] ...to come to America.
[indistinct shouting]
I'm the king of this thing.
You don't come to my territory
- and tell me what to do!
- [whistles]
- What?
- What's the deal with you, man?
[D'Souza] Part of my lesson involves
mandatory psychological counseling.
I need to be re-educated.
[speaking Spanish]
[D'Souza] And is this supposed
to be punishment?
I've been ordered
to teach English to immigrants.
- Hello, class.
- [all] Hola, Dinesh.
[D'Souza] My kind of people.
I'm going to talk to you today
about America,
about what it means to become American.
Now, I can come to Mexico,
or you can come to India,
but I can no more become Mexican
than you can become Indian.
America is a country based on ideas,
based on assimilation
to a certain way of life.
[buzzer]
[D'Souza] I wonder what way of life
got these guys here.
So, what are you in for?
Drug smuggling.
Armed robbery.
Manslaughter.
Murder.
Got into a bar fight.
And I set him on fire.
What are you in here for?
A friend of mine
was running for office
and I gave her more than
I was allowed to give.
[laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs] That's good.
the stupidest criminal
in the history
of American jurisprudence.
In our home country,
slavery and Jim Crow
all too often was justified
in the name of Christ.
[D'Souza] I'm a conservative
in a very strange place.
I'm not likely to run into
Charles Krauthammer or George Will.
Hey, yo, India.
[Obama] ...helped to liberate
that nation.
You any good at chess, man?
- [Obama] ...one group or one religion.
- Yeah.
Let's find out.
[D'Souza] You know what? There's a few
things I want to find out myself.
Remember that during the Crusades
and the inquisition,
people committed terrible deeds
in the name of Christ.
You know, gangs are
all about stealing, man.
Crime is all about stealing.
What's the biggest gang?
[chuckles]
Right in your face.
Politicians, man.
- How does a gang make money?
- Any way they can, you know?
Trafficking, smuggling,
stealing, extortion,
whatever.
Yeah, but how do they pull it off?
Step one, get a plan.
[man on TV] Give the gift
of peace of mind.
For as little as $49 a month, you could
be covered up to one million dollars.
Act now. 888-432-9000.
Step two, recruit.
Listen up, everybody. Sit down.
What we're gonna start to do--
we're gonna be selling
life insurance.
Next, it's all about the pitch.
They got to sell it to the target.
You want something from someone, man,
you don't need to go kick in a door.
All you need to do is walk
right up to it and knock.
Yeah, man, what we were
selling was life insurance--
a policy that once, you know,
God forbid, they die,
their claim, like 50-Gs,
or whatever it is,
goes to, like, the, uh,
the Inner City Health Fund, A.K.A. us.
That's the first pitch, be a do-gooder.
It will be nice to leave this world
knowing that you did something
good for others less fortunate.
[Rock] But second comes greed.
They sign up today, man,
we'll give them five grand,
and we'll pay their monthly premium.
So, basically, they pay nothing
out of pocket, right?
And they pocket five large.
Bless you. Bless you.
[Rock] Man, we signed up
whoever, wherever.
You sign up today,
we'll give you $5,000.
- On the spot.
- Yeah.
You know, believe it or not,
Months after they sign up,
you know, uh, for some reason...
they just die.
Pooh.
Hey, Pops!
[both grunting]
- [grunts]
- [woman screams]
- [siren wails]
- Come on, let's go!
[Rock] Anyways, man, after a while,
the insurance companies
caught on, you know?
But now you have the final step.
Never give up the con.
Never give up the con.
Deny, deny, deny.
Look, I done told y'all a million times,
man.
I don't know anything, I didn't see
anything, and I ain't saying nothing.
How do you get caught?
Snitch, man.
You know what happens to snitches,
don't you?
Anyways, now it's time for a new plan.
The old one won't work anymore, right?
Got any ideas?
[D'Souza] Why does Rock's story
seem so familiar?
I heard about
similar cons from others.
All right, brother,
on the down-low.
[D'Souza] Each con follows
the same formula..
[indistinct chatter]
You plan, you pitch, you take...
- What's the point of this?
- [D'Souza] ...you deny.
The criminals in here
believe they are the small fry,
the ones who got caught.
They believe that the big criminals
are still at large.
Then, it hit me.
What if they're right?
What if the same theft formula is being
used against the American people?
[Hillary] Didn't see any reason
to keep them.
[D'Souza] I'm a scholar,
written a bunch of books,
but what do I really know
about the Democratic Party?
Who are these Democrats?
What's their racket?
Are they the big crooks?
- I asked Rock.
- Come on, are you serious?
The Democrats are the party for us.
I mean, that's the party for
the minorities. You know what I mean?
for poor people.
That's us. They ain't
stealing nothing, man.
You want to talk about stealing?
That's gonna be the Republicans all day.
That's the party of slavery, racists.
That's a bunch of rich fat cats.
Now, they're probably thieving.
Yeah. Yeah, they're thieving.
[reporter] The president is nearing
a decision on that issue.
What everyone has been anticipating.
