while the sheer depth of that plot was winning revealed in court this week, the southern poverty law centerannual year in hate report for 2018. and it validated what we in the civil rights community, religious, minorities, and the fbi have been screaming since you took office, there are now more than 1,000 active hate groups in the united states, president trump, a 30% increase over the last four years that dove tails with our ascension, election, and administration thus far. it's a surge that could not just spring forth out of a vacuum. as most of these terror groups came into being under your watch, with a 7% increase from 2017 to 2018 alone. you know what else has increased in that time? the murder rate. in 2017 white supremacists killed 17 people in the u.s. and canada. that was considered an alarming jump just two years ago. well, last year that number jumped to an estimated 40 according to the splc. it's a jagged, bloody line that goes straight through the tragedy in charlottesville, to when an another unhinged sympathieser terrorized your critics with explosives. a racist shot elderl

they take their numbers from holy fraudulent organizations like the southern poverty law center.hese groups use moral panics to gin up fund-raising, they get rich doing it so they continue. the problem is there aren't that many hate crimes occurring in the country, it's just not a very hateful place so they have to make them up. how do they do that? they do it, and this is key, by counting accusations as crimes. an accusation is not the same thing as a crime, it's not even close. if i accuse you of committing armed robbery, that does not need that robbery occurred. you have to be convicted of it and once you are, i can count what you did as a crime. otherwise it's just something that you said, it doesn't mean anything. in real life, hate crimes are rare, consider the numbers from california, it's by far our biggest state. nearly 40 million people live in california. its demographics have changed dramatically in recent years. if hate crimes were an epidemic, you would expect to see an awful lot of hate crimes in california but you don't. in 2017 in the state of california, they co

and shulman admitted to take guidance on who demand from southern poverty law center. fraudulent organization that works with the democratic national committee. according to shulman "the line between free speech and hate. nobody teaches it to you in college. nobody defined in the law. that is ridiculous" it is very much defined in the law and has been for 50 years. in 1969 the supreme court conclusively decided hate speech does not exist. but it doesn't matter to shulman or allies on the left. to them the first amendment is merely a legal obstacle. something to subvert rather than celebrate. paypal is just one small example of this. across the country the left working to crash in the organization that stands in the way of power. in new york state governor andrew cuomo to shut down the nra, why? the disagreement with his agenda. he is harassing financial companies to do business with the group and it is working. immediate celebrate just as they celebrate endless attacks on fox news. their entire nonprofits whose only purpose is to close the network you are now watching,

there trend i want to point out when we talk about folks who self-as white supremacists, southern poverty law center tracks these reports, and there has been a documented rise i those groups to what they say is a now-time all high, over 1,000 such hate groups, many white nationalists and white supremacists. what is inflewsing that rise? >> well, you think some of theal critiumbers, and this is what we have at a.d.l., is extremist-related murders. when you look at the past ten years in this country, 73% of extremist-related murders in this country have been carried out by right-wing extremists and the majority by prwhite acists. so over 2700 people killed by extremists. at the same time you see an increase in other white supremacist activities, so whether flyering, putting white supremacist banners, stickers d fly rps around the country, a 2,000 increase from 207 to 2018. so white supremacists have been emboldened and ound different ways to carry out and promote their messages and in some cases consequences. >> reporter: the government's documents say the defendant is a domestic territories bent on c
