tv   Jesse Watters Primetime  FOX News  May 12, 2023 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT

4:00 pm
congressman roe canna. i will be on gutfeld tonight and kayleigh is up at 8 p.m. for fox news. thank you for inviting news your home tonight. that's it for this special report, fair, balanced and still unafraid. pete is co-hosting with jesse watters. >> you will be the target the entire hour. brett, great job. thank you. >> welcome to a special edition of jesse watters primetime on a friday. new york district attorney alvin bragg has charged daniel penny with manslaughter in the second-degree. penny confronted a schizophrenic homeless man on a subway who was throwing garbage and physically threatening other passengers. things then did turn physical
4:01 pm
and the marine put the homeless man in a chokehold and later a recovery position, but the homeless man later tragically died. penny surrendered to police this morning and is now out on $100,000 bail. penny is a decorated marine veteran with no criminal record, strong family ties, good standing in the military and is supposed to graduate from college next week. his attorney spoke to the press earlier today. >> he is dealing with the situation, like i said, with the sort of integrity and honor that his characteristic of who he is and characteristic of his honorable service in the united states marine corp. he has his head held high. >> earlier this month police interviewed daniel penny after the incident and decided not to charge him. then alvin bragg got involved. remember him? he is the guy that arrested trump over paperwork, and he loves to let life long criminals
4:02 pm
out of jail every day. it's kind of his thing. so instead of convening a grand jury and going through a thorough, thoughtful and deliberate process, bragg decided he wants to see the marine veteran in cuffs right now. there may be more to that story. we'll get to that in a moment. we don't have a toxicology report back on jordan neely, the homeless guy. witnesses said they were tear filed -- terrified. they were calling police and the homeless man was screaming things like "i don't care if i die. i don't care if i go to jail. i would kill a mother-f-er." and they said instead of being scared you should have asked him how you could have helped. >> no one on the train asked jordan, what's wrong? how can i help you? so for everybody saying i have been on the train and been afraid before and i couldn't tell you what what i would have done in that situation, ask how you can help. >> okay.
4:03 pm
have you ever been in a situation like that? i have. so have many of you. ask how you can help? these people were terrified for their lives, stuck in a tunnel. they're the ones who needed help in that situation. and there was a marine there at that moment. as such, most people who were on that train seemed to be on that marine veteran's side. one 66-year-old woman on the train told the new york post, quote, i hope he has a great lawyer and i'm praying for him, and i pray he gets treated fairly. i really do. because after all of this ensued, i went back and made sure that i said thank you to him. and we found out a lot more about jordan neely since he tragically died. he's been arrested 40 times. four times for cold-cocking random people on the subway. he was a heavy drug user and in and out of mental hospitals. he was on new york's top 50 list
4:04 pm
of homeless people. are you going to ask that guy if he needs help when he is threatening your life? it is ab -- absurd. of course not. new york city mayor eric adams started off pretty reasonable when aoc, the socialist from new york city, wanted to charge him with murder, adams told her to slow down and let the investigation play out. >> well, both the congress -- the congresswoman and the controller -- the controller is a city-wide leader. i don't think that is vary responsible at the time where we are still investigating the situation. let's let the d.a. conduct his investigation with the law enforcement officials to really interfere with that is not the right thing to do and i'm going to be responsible and allow them to do their job and allow them to determine exactly what happened to him. >> that was then. that's what you would think a cop turned mayor might say. after a week of catching flack from left wing agitators, aoc
4:05 pm
and al sharpton, he changed his tune. like the chameleon he is, no expectations, he had a press conference after charging the marine and left out a few details in that press conference. adams didn't mention neely's long, violent wrap sheet. adams didn't mention neely was threatening passengers and throwing garbage. adams didn't mention the liberal judge who cooked up a deal so neely could walk free after slugging a 67-year-old woman. the mayor did bring up one thing for sure, race. >> one of our own is dead. a black man, black like me. too many black and brown families bear the brunt of system long overdue for reform. >> there is a lot of conflicting evidence this is a crime, let alone a hate crime. in fact, all the available evidence points to self-defense and defense of others on that subway train. but democrats in the media want
4:06 pm
to paint the marine as some kind of racial vigilante. >> key can't live -- we can't live in a country where vigilante justice is ever acceptable. >> if they're not gonna charge, we are creating a -- a real rea- legitimizing vigilantism. >> we don't want them to take the law into their hands. they can't be judge, jury and executioner. if mr. penny was truly afraid he could have left that car and gone to another subway car. >> i wonder what nicole wallace would think if she was on the train car. but, of course, she doesn't ride the subway with regular people. the media wouldn't be talking about this if they were able to manufacture a racial angle. play the card yet again. 27 people have been killed on new york city subways this year. you won't hear about that on cnn or msnbc. crime only counts if they can spin it politically and raoeul up the -- rile up the base.
4:07 pm
why do you think democrats are so hungry for protest. do you remember 2020, the summer of love? cities were burned to ash as they burned throughout the country. the media was fanning the flames and they called it mostly peaceful. and democrats used it to catapult biden from the basement to the oval. kamala even got people to contribute to bail funds for criminals and alvin bragg, the same. we know alvin bragg is always thinking politics. if the marine veteran gets off as more evidence shows he should, we might have another summer of love on our hands. just dandy. let's turn to paul murrow. he is an attorney and retired police department inspector. great to have you onset, paul. thank you. >> thank you. >> when you look at the totality of the case the way in which they change their tune, even mayor adam what's is going on here? >> isn't it such a disappointment? we had hopes when adams came into office, and he started off good on this.
4:08 pm
he took a good statesman-like attitude. he seemed to be saying, okay, let the system play out, and what would that have meant? a case like this that is a tough call where you have a very clear justification defense, in other words a self-defense case, right? >> yep. >> you have to balance the two sides of what occurred. you let the grand jury decide, a jury of daniel penny's peers. no. couldn't happen because a bunch of blm and antifa-wanna bees jumped on to the subway tracks and everybody got the trembles and aoc puts out a few tweets and then the grand jury process goes away. i can tell you this, the nypd was ordered to do this. there is no way the nypd steps forward before the grand jury and on their own goes out and arrests daniel neely. what does that tell stphu. >> they do that from who? >> the mayor. that's who the pd reports to is the mayor of the city. so what you have here, clearly
4:09 pm
bragg was in collaboration in this. he was prepared and on board with it. so what you likely had was a con fab between city hall and bragg. they said we are taking on some water in the media. we have to make this go away. let's go out and grab him now. and it even works against the integrity of bragg's case or the power of bragg's case. he only has a month to get his entire case over to the defense. he does president -- doesn't want to do that with that pressure situation. he wants to build his case and wait for the toxicology and make sure there is no other videos out there. now he put himself in a box. >> i thought, there has to be more videos than just that, but if you i'm panel a grand jury which is the proper process in this, that takes time. you gather the evidence to present to the grand jury over the course of weeks, i imagine. >> it takes time and it is risky because they went with the top charge available to them here, right, which is the manslaughter 2 which is a reckless standard.
4:10 pm
the idea of being a daniel penny knew the risk and disregarded it. in miest -- in my estimation that's a complete overcharge. in fact, they may not get any charge. manhattan, juries, i understand they are progress -- progressive and they went for joe biden in the last election, 99%, and they ride the subway. i will tell you something. that's a dirty little secret here in this town, but on the subway generally the targets for this kind of stuff are women. you are not supposed to notice that, but they are. women are riding the subway and going to work every day and they're scared. if you have enough women or enough men with daughters, wives, siblings, things like that on that jury, and they have heard these kinds of stories and many of them will have, you might not get an indictment. they couldn't risk that. >> why the reflex to make it -- i don't know why i ask this question because it is the same, but to make it about race? there are a lot of dynamics you can look at, fear of people. what does it say about the
4:11 pm
incentive for folks in the future to step up and defend fellow passengers, but again it always comes back to race, whether it is adams or bragg? >> they need the narrative. that's what fires everybody up. and that's why you are only seeing photos of neely from 15 years ago, 12 years ago dressed as michael jackson. the one thing they are missing in this is the police. normally they want the police to be the ones who are going to be the village -- villains in a case like this. the police showed up late, and there is no indication of that and that's why there are the protest and they want to fight with the police. that's why there are the staged protests. there is no way a bunch of protesters jumped on to a live subway platform and on to the tracks without knowing the train isotom contrived as well. they need the narrative and they didn't get the police into it and they are trying to drag them in. throughout history new york city had the iconic cases. you had bernie getz and brian watkins, a kid also killed in
4:12 pm
the subway and similar circumstances. he was trying to protect his mother, and that lead to the big era of broken window policing. why does it happen every few years? it is when we drawback from policing, keeping our public areas safe and you create a vacuum and innocents step in and it makes this thing inevitable and the people who cause it are the ones now who are the loudest about saying we want daniel penny's head. >> absolutely. real quick as this plays out, based on the evidence you've seen, how do you think it does play out? >> i think the most -- it starts to go to the grand jury before trial. the most they will get out of a grand jury if i had to guess is criminally negligent homicide if they get that and i think it goes to trial. i think we are in for a long haul here. i think what you will ultimately get if you hear the witness statements about how afraid everybody was, he yelled -- things we don't hear about he said "i'm done" as he took off the coat. that's a pretty strong indication of where he stands. the idea that his 42 priors are not relevant or 44, you take one
4:13 pm
look at him and you know what you are getting into on the subway. we have all seen that kind of thing. so i think we are looking at a trial where the operative thing is going to come down to be, did he hold on to his neck too long? it is going to take a close look at that video. you know, it's funny. it is now hard to find the whole thing online. so did he let go -- from what i have seen he was struggling, and there were other people helping and they don't seem to be charged. they all complement him. and neely takes a deep breath. he is alive. >> he is alive after the hold. >> there is a lot to learn and that's why it should have gone to the grand jury after a thorough investigation. >> this is one of those cases. thank you for breaking it down. thank you. coming up, biden has opened the border and illegals are flooding into our streets.

4:18 pm
4:19 pm
welcome back. joe biden's plan is to dump illegals on our streets without court dates. well, it was struck down late last night by a federal judge. you might be tempted to call it a win, but it is not. it is really just another bandaid on our border's giant ax wound. add the expiring of title 42 and we have a lot more than an ax wound. it is a gaping wound. the white house, they don't want any help with this. >> the way we see that, it is sabotage. it is pure and simple. that's how that reads to us. the claims that cvp is allowing or encouraging mass release of migrants is just categorically false. that's not what is occurring.
4:20 pm
that's not what is happening. >> thanks, because that's exactly what is happening. look at brownsville, texas where border patrol is mass releasing hundreds of illegals into the streets. remember we had the pictures of bidenville under the bridge. it is happening right in front of our eyes. they are waiving goodbye to the border patrol and saying hello to a suburb near you. meanwhile, over at the border, there are tens of thousands more illegals just waiting to get in. at least 10,000 illegals are coming in every day. and that number is only going up. it is a record-breaking number that keeps breaking itself. the white house, they claim they just didn't see this thing coming. >> let us not sugar coat this. already we have a record number of crossings exceeding your internal estimates. have you severely overcrowded detention facilities already. the president himself acknowledged this week it's going to be chaotic for awhile. that's his word, not mine. my question to you is why?
4:21 pm
you have had two years to prepare for this. why do we have this chaos and confusion at the border? >> savannah, the answer is very clear. we are operating within the constraints of a broken immigration system. >> such an old talking point. if i remember correctly, and i do, biden, of course, did not inherit a broken border. for that we turn to texas senator ted cruz. >> the talking point of the democrats, which this media reporter happily parrots, is, gosh, the problem can't be fixed. there is a problem with that. it is an utter and complete lie. in 2020, the last year of the trump presidency, we had the lowest rate of i will -- illegal immigration in 45 years. you ask what i have done? championed the border patrol and securing the border and remain in mexico and we turned this problem around and solved it. we went from joe biden inheriting the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years and the first day in office he
4:22 pm
made political decisions to cause this problem. >> that's exactly right. joe broke it and now he has no plan to fix it. well, let me correct myself. he does have one idea. he has an app for that. >> the administration is really proud now that they have apps on their phone that some would cross illegal and fill out an application in two minutes. this is the amazon-version of illegal immigration. they are gonna make it fast and deliver them anywhere in the country. we have seen seconds .5 million -- 6.5 million people cross illegally since kwroe biden became president and the administration wants 6.5 million to be 10 million and to be 12 million and to be 15 million, to be 20 million. >> let's do this. at this point biden might as well give illegals a blank election ballot on their way in too. it is more efficient that way since that's what democrats want. future voters to pander to.
4:23 pm
the goal of the biden administration is to facilitate more illegals getting into our country more quickly. the problem is the app's just as busted as our border. it is glitchy, as my kids say, and doesn't work. brought to you by the same folks who rolled out healthcare.gov. so illegals are ditching the app and crossing the rio grande anyway or just walking in. and even though that in and of itself is an illegal act, there are laws on the books to deport illegals for action. if you don't go through a legal port of entry, that's an illegal act and you should be able to be deported. i guess it is fair to say the white house has no plan, and that is the plan. open borders, more illegals, sanctuary cities, broken apps, future voters, future dreamers and taxpayers on the hook for all of it. let's go to the arizona sheriff. mark, did i miss the mark on
4:24 pm
anything there? what we are looking at here is -- i mean it is a humanitarian disasser and a failure of an administration and they are lying about every aspect of it. >> absolutely. like kjp likes to say, we have been very clear. well, we here at the border have been very clear to this administration that they were going to have a problem. they just continued to turn a blind eye to it and lie to the american people and say it wasn't a problem. and then they say that they are not equipped to handle this. you know, one of our local sheriffs brought up a point the other day. he said when ellis island was accepting the i'm grants at -- i'm -- immigrants peak they had 12 million people. they notated it with a pencil and a piece of paper. now swraoe more technology to deal with this problem and they have failed miserably. i always say i wouldn't let the government run a hot dog stand for me, and they prove time and time again why you shouldn't let them run a hot dog stand for you. >> every time. you are exactly! -- exactly right. when you dig into the details,
4:25 pm
it is going to be tough and illegal after title 42 and all of that. every aspect of it looks simply like expediting the tpau sill station. let's make it easier for people to scam the asylum process and come in illegally and see you in five years and here is your phone. >> that's exactly what they're doing. all they hear is talk, talk, talk. they don't hear any action. you can tell the people that the border is not open, but if your actions say otherwise, then they are gonna come. the actions of this administration say we're not gonna hold you accountable if you break our laws, if you come here illegally, if you don't use their app. you know, this is what they see. they see no action on behalf of this government. you know why they avoid my county and try to go around the back ways? we do act. we do hold you accountable if you break the law. that's why -- i've been so frustrated as a sheriff, i have thrown my hat into the race for the u.s. senate and hopefully your listeners will come and viewers will support me for senate. some of us have to stop this. if we can't do it at the local
4:26 pm
level we will do it at the federal level. >> someone has to step in and your county is fortunate enough to have someone who will step up and say not here. but most other places that's not the case, as the feds are asleep at the wheel. sheriff lamb, good luck in your race. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> you got it. up next, it has been a full week of biden bombshells, you might say. so why does the media refuse to cover, i don't know, any of them? put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when uc got unpredictable, i got rapid symptom relief with rinvoq. and left bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc got in my way, i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when my gastro saw damage, rinvoq helped visibly repair the colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief. lasting, steroid-free remission. and a chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check. check. and check.

4:32 pm
foreign bribes leads to the big guy, joe biden, and not trump, well, journalists, they are just not really interested. since comer's bombshell press conference on wednesday, you can guess how much coverage the likes of abc, cbs and nbc gave it. this is since april 24th and the morning shows, evening shows and sunday shows across all three networks. zero minutes. zero seconds. they didn't touch it once. in fact, according to news busters over the time period, those networks have not covered any of the major developments of the biden crime family, like let's just say acting cia director mike morell admitting the biden campaign told him to lie and smear the hunter biden laptop story as russian disinformation or the whistleblower who said the department of justice has evidence that joe biden was directly involved in a bribery scandal scheme. and now the bidens are caught
4:33 pm
with $10 million from convicted romanians and the chinese communist party. if you didn't watch fox or any alternative media, would you have no idea that all this was happening. or you could read a headline like this one from the "new york times." "house republican report finds no evidence of wrongdoing by president biden." so you're telling me joe biden's whole family getting $10 million in foreign payments from the same countries then vice president biden was leading policy in doesn't tie him potentially to a crime worth looking at? then what was the $10 million for? the bidens don't have a business. they don't build anything or make anything. they just have a name. this is low, a low point even for the so-called mainstream media which is really just left point legacy media. they told us democracy dies in darkness, but i guess they really love the darkness. joe is a columnist for the hill
4:34 pm
and a fox news contributor. you have seen many media lows, joe, but to say nothing about this when there is so much out there, what does it say to you? >> the ultimate act of media fall fee sense, pete. it is the most insidious bias we have, the bias of omission. it is one thing to be an advocate and take a side and root against a team, but another thing to keep information from the american people. it is amazing how they all do it in lock step. abc, cbs and nbc, those evening newscasts 20 million people watch those and you would think one would want to be the out liar and saying maybe we should report on the president on the things you outlined. we saw this before the 2020 election. that movie where that was the collusion before that particular election, social media suppressing and sensorring accounts, traditional media saying nothing to see here. this is russian's miss-information. and then the 51 intelligence officers who said, nope, this has to be russian disinformation without looking at the laptop. it is like being a coroner,
4:35 pm
right, and you declare what the cause of death was on a body you didn't look at, right? so all three of those things make it bigger than watergate because it involves the intelligence community and social media and most importantly perhaps a sitting president through his family benefiting, profiting from adversaries like china or ukraine that's getting tens of billions of dollars from us, russia, romania is now involved according to comer, and this isn't a story? if this was donald trump, junior or eric trump at the heart of this, what do you think the coverage would look like then? >> do you think there are actual journalists in the newsrooms saying -- boss, like, we gotta -- is it the culture says don't even touch it, or are they all so invested in their preferred party that it doesn't even come up? >> i think it is a combination of two things. if you go against the grain and you say, no, i'm an investigative journalist and this is what i am here for and i
4:36 pm
am speaking truth to power, what happens when the next promotion comes up? remember dasha burns who said i spoke with john fedder man and he couldn't follow the senator and couldn't follow a basic conversation and the mob came for her saying how dare you question his mental uh cutie. and then he does a debate and they say oh she was right. when she went against the grain i bet when the next job comes up and maybe it is a white house correspondent job or high neither the food chain at nbc, perhaps she won't get that because she tried to do her job. so there is a fear. remember where media is, new york and washington. how do they vote in those two cities as far as presidential elections? the ecosystem says don't go against what the narrative should be or you will be looking for another job or sitting at the job you are currently in. >> and even when they try to cross over like cnn, in the break you told me some numbers about cnn had really big numbers for donald trump. >> 3.1 million viewers. >> what happened after that? >> the numbers came out the following night.
4:37 pm
you say is there a carry over? they went from 3.1 million tuning in for trump to about 535,000 tuning in in the same exact time slot, 80% of the viewers gone. you have anderson cooper apologizing to viewers saying we're sorry we put him on. we didn't mean to upset you in your safe space. maybe treat your viewers like adults. they can change the channel or they can come to their own decisions in terms of what they are hearing. >> you know that's not how they see their viewers. they con dissent -- they condescend to them. >> and joe biden would never lie at a town hall. >> all right coming up, criminals are running wild in california and now they are victims? the ones being punished, of course.

as you know california is lawless which means doing business there is tougher every day. stores are ransacked on a regular basis and perpetrators are almost never held accountable. so the cycle continues. san francisco apparently has not
4:43 pm
suffered enough under new bail reform laws. one wants to ban the use of armed security guards. the city is hanging by a thread and this would be a nail in the coffin. even the smaller towns are suffering. take bakersfield, for example. austin cheryl is a 23-year-old with special needs. and he spent the last three years as a clerk for a local grocery chain. he's been assaulted at work three separate times this year alone. in january he was attacked outside with pepper spray. in march someone tried to stab him while he was taking out the trash. and just last month he was attacked by a man who was harassing two women in the store. he tried to step in. and after austin took some time off and qualified for workers comp, he came back to find out that he was terminated. sadly, this is just another example of how democrats don't care about your safety, but it cuts even deeper when your own employer sides with your attackers over you, or at least or scared of them.

wasn't supposed to come back to that store, but i ended up having to come back to that store anyway because that's where my shift was being held at. well, it was a small, like, few-hour shift and by the time -- when i got to the end of it they called me into the office and said, well -- they said unfortunately i'm being terminated. >> so you get attacked and they let you go and nothing else changes. what will you miss about the job? you were there three years. >> just the community. like -- i, you know, the joke is about karens, we didn't get any kaeurpbs at vons -- karens at vons. it was mostly nice people of all ages. you know, i have built this -- people -- our regulars actually like knew me and all that.
4:46 pm
>> good people helping other good people and then you are attacked three times, and somehow you are the one who sees the door. that's how upside down california is right now. austin, god bless you. hope you land on your feet. appreciate you. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. >> well, on another note, there's nothing quite like the bond between a mother and a daughter. >> i spoke to your principal. >> what? >> just now on the phone. >> where is my door? >> privacy is a privilege, anna. >> where is my door, mom? >> your door will be returned to you, anna if and when -- >> i need my door. you give me that door or -- i will kill myself. >> can i watch? >> harry! >> sure, sometimes they fight. we kid. under the tension is a lot of love. if you are lucky enough to have a mother in your life, you know how special they are. she birthed you, fed you, clothed you and raised you.
4:47 pm
and she deserves all the credit and, you know, a gift. here is the deal. you have two days left. let's be honest. flowers, maybe a bit played out at this point. you could get her a book instead. the suggestion is, "things i wish i told my mother" written by susan and james patterson. wouldn't you know it? the pattersons are here right now. where did this idea -- james, let's start with you. where did the idea come from? >> well, my mom lived until 98. i was very lucky about that. a couple days after she died i was really overwhelmed with the fact that i wasn't able to talk to her anymore. i said, there's so many things i wish i could tell my mother. he said, you know what? that would be a really good book. and that's all i needed to hear. >> she wrote a novel. it is not about her and her mother. it is about a doctor -- dr. liz
4:48 pm
and her daughter, lori, and to try to get closer, they go to europe together. there is a medical incident and they go off. on their trip there is humor and they fight a little bit and there is a little love affair, and a surprise ending i don't think anybody will guess. >> susan, i don't want to bury the story, but what -- i mean, what is something people might commonly say or you talked about through the story of what they would want to say to their mother? >> oh, jeez. well, the thing that made me think of this was completely insignificant. you know, now hearing all the responses from the book, you start to realize, you know, people who have lost their mother who now, you know, their mother is still alive and they want to go on a trip with her, or they've -- you know, and then you start thinking about, well, jeez, i wish i would have asked what was my mom like when she was in college or when she was a young girl? you just don't think of a lot of
4:49 pm
these things. >> and it is so special when you do something for your mom. our son just came down for mother's day which is really cool. what a good guy. what a good son. >> oh, man. i should do that. >> it is a big deal. >> i was talking to my brother the other day, and he didn't have -- this is my grandmother, but he didn't have a close relationship with one of my grandmothers until the end when he interviewed her for a class project and learned what a remarkable life she lived. if he hadn't done the five interviews and written a paper about it, he wouldn't have such an appreciation for her. it comes down to being intentional about those moments you have while you have them. >> you know, pete, i have not heard anybody -- i can't imagine a mother or a daughter that will not really enjoy this book. i'm so happy for her and proud of her that she did this. it really turned out well. you have book clubs now all over the country picking it up. it is a very cool thing. as you said, mother's day is around the corner. if you forgot -- >> there's still time. >> yeah. >> turns out writing is in the

welcome back. let's close out this friday night with fox nation's host abbie. three stories and five minutes. >> that's a lot of time. >> that is a lot of time. we will let them marinate and analyze them with depth. no one enjoys flying. it is a fact. it is passengers like this one who make it these days a living nightmare. watch. >> i don't know about you, but i do. guess what. i'm breaking right now too. >> sir!

4:57 pm
this, pete, because that's what you have to do on these things. i feel like sometimes when people are angry, they are not angry at the surface level problem. something else deep down is making them angry. i thought, what could be making this guy so angry? and then i noticed this is a flight from i believe south carolina to fort lauderdale and he is wearing a puffer jacket, a turtle neck in fort lauderdale and i grew up in arizona, pete. i i know what heatstroke is like and you know what heatstroke is like being in the wrong outfit and heatstroke and it can make you aggressive. i think i solved it. >> we have society and we have rules. you just apologized for him. >> no. i think that guy should go to jail. >> oh, wow. and now she drops the hammer. >> one coffee customer found herself in hot water after a barista accused her of being trans phobic. watch this.
