Joe Collins, running against Maxine Waters in California’s 44th congressional district, accuses Biden of being "the racist" due to the 1994 crime bill and alleged ties to segregationists like the KKK’s David Duke. He claims Waters sent armed men from Watts to intimidate him, citing an email, and blames Democrats for worsening urban issues like gang violence and homelessness while pushing pandemic restrictions to manipulate elections via mail-in ballots. Hollywood’s influence on politics—celebrities endorsing Democrats, rappers like Lil Wayne supporting Republicans—undermines unity, he argues, as Biden’s administration ignores 75 million Trump supporters while targeting them. Collins insists alternative voices persist despite electoral setbacks, vowing to challenge Gavin Newsom’s governorship and expose media bias, including CNN’s "Communist News Network" label.

Cuomo and his brother, the governor of New York, are both jokes.
They're a disgrace to America.
And so is his show.
The Communist News Network, having him on his show is a reason why a lot of people in our communities are confused about what's going on.
South Central LA deserves a leader who will bring back value and opportunity.
That's why Joe Collins is running to defeat radical leftist Maxine Waters.
She doesn't want to practice what she preaches.
That's like number one rule of law in speaking and leadership.
You practice what you preach.
And that's why it's so amazing to me to see you out here every day, not giving up hope.
But these are things that we have to fight against.
I mean, you know, with the suppression from social media, from conservative voices, and the lack of transparency and honesty from the Democratic Party, I think that the grassroots effort to be able to remove Gavin Newsom and have our voices heard is very strong right now.
It's the issue of California.
And right now, our city, our state, our counties are being destroyed daily by Gavin Newsom.
And that's why this recall effort is so important.
And so, you know, looking at the history of the Republican Party for black people, you know, this is where we started at in politics.
So for me, it's getting back to where we started from as minorities.
And then another thing, yes, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican because nobody at this point is looking out for the urban community.
So it wouldn't matter if I was a Democrat.
It wouldn't matter if I was a Republican.
I know everybody like to think that the Democrats are doing everything for you.
But I mean, like, if you go through our city, South LA, you still see gangs.
You still see the poor quality job, poor education.
We have homeless people everywhere.
And that's not even a Republican problem because Democrats have been in here for a very long time.
So, I mean, time for something different.
Joe Collins is a U.S. Navy veteran.
He ran for Congress in California's 43rd congressional district against none other than Maxine Waters.
Find him on Twitter and Instagram at JoeE. Collins3.
Joe, I'm very excited to talk to you.
How are you doing today?
I'm doing just fine.
How about yourself?
I'm doing very good.
Thank you.
What trade were you in the Navy, by the way?
I had trouble finding that.
I did a little bit of everything.
I started off as a jet engine mechanic.
I did a boost on the ground tour to Iraq.
I was a recruiter and I was also a sexual assault and rape victim advocate.
Great.
That's good news.
I was in the Airway myself, so I was just interested in what trade you were in.
So you were in the Navy for over a decade, I read.
What made you want to get into politics and eventually run against Max E. Waters?
Because that's a big name to go up against.
It is.
What made me want to get into politics was actually President Trump, former President Trump.
He ran a campaign and I saw that the voice of the younger generation was not being heard.
I don't think anybody who's 70, 80, 90 years old represents the ideas that I have of someone who is in my 30s.
And so ended my military career and I went to run for an office position where I grew up in South Central was that area and Maxine Waters just happened to pull the shortstick.
Yeah, and reading your platform from when you ran, I don't see a lot of those things being addressed.
I mean, not specifically by Maxine Waters, of course, but by the Democrats in a whole.
I mean, they say they're for these things, but a lot of things you mentioned, like homelessness, for example, I can see it as a big problem there.
Now, I want to circle back to October and play a bit of your campaign video, which I'm sure you've seen millions of times.
Over a million of people have seen it.
But I think what you say in there will always stay relevant.
Justin, can we get to that clip?
I'm Joe Collins.
I'm running for Congress against Maxine Waters.
Do you know where I am right now?
Maxine Waters' $6 million mansion.
Do you know where I'm not right now?
Maxine Waters District.
Yep, that's right.
Maxine does not live in her district, but I do.
I was born right here in South LA in a place Maxine refuses to live.
Maxine Waters does not drink our water.
She does not breathe our air.
And while she sits here in her mansion, our district is in ruins.
Let me show you.
This is South L.A.
I was born here.
I grew up on 104th in Normandy.
Maxine Waters has been in office for 44 years.
Has anything got better around here?
I can tell you firsthand that it hasn't.
Now, Joe, the reason I play that specific clip is because I think it speaks to a lot of cities, particularly large cities in the United States.
When in your life did it become apparent to you, like it had for me a few years ago, that a lot of the problems that face these communities, like the ones where you grow up to, seem to be, they seem to be in this course where they're electing the same politicians decade after decade.
The list of cities is kind of endless off the top of my head.
I listed Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit.
These are places that have had Democrats in charge for 30 years, even more in some places.
Why do people keep voting for them if they're getting the same results?
I think that when you vote for somebody because that person looks like you and because that person is saying things that you want to hear, it becomes like a social norm.
Like it's normal to vote, Maxine, in the office.
It's normal to vote Alcy Hazen's in the office, knowing that these people has never done anything for you because they've just been there for so long.
So I think that's the biggest reason why.
Now, how do you convince the people that are in these areas?
If they haven't seen it by now, how do you convince them that, look, nothing has changed?
Why don't you try something that has an argument that is a little bit more depth?
I mean, like I mentioned, there's arguments against crime.
There's arguments against racism and homelessness, but none of this really seems to change over the course of 30, 40 years.
How do you convince these people or get them to see in these areas that what they're voting for isn't working?
Well, a lot of people in inner cities have trust issues.
And so that's why it's hard to get them to move on to something new.
And what you got to do is you just have to be there.
You have to show them that the things that they're going through isn't normal.
I used to think that gang violence growing up in the inner city was normal until I got out of it.
And I started going across the world, traveling across the United States and seeing that, you know, gang violence is not normal.
Poverty isn't normal.
And, you know, it's what's been going on for a very long time.
Now, I mean, we can harp on Maxine Waters a lot and it's part of a larger issue.
So I want to play her famous clip of when she's, you know, this restaurant and all these things and all the stuff she says.
Justin, can we play that?
Because again, I think this stuff resonates almost timelessly, at least for at least a few more years, so long as Joe Biden's in office.
Joe Biden's Legacy00:14:32
Let's throw to that clip.
Already, you have members of your cabinet that have been booed out of restaurants.
We have protesters taking up at the house.
He's saying no peace, no sleep.
No peace, no sleep.
And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anyway, anywhere.
She's really a cartoon character, isn't she?
Now, there's been so much talk lately around Trump and the alleged incitement of violence.
They want to impeach him for a second time.
But whether it's this clip or the kick them when they're down clip and all the clips that arose for the past three years, there's plenty of examples.
Is it extremely hypocritical of them to try to claim that Trump's the one inciting violence now?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Of course it is because, you know, we've seen Black Lives Matter in Antifa destroy entire cities over the past year.
And that clip that you showed from Maxine Waters, that's actually relevant because she sent people to our events while we were running for Congress with guns and things like that to intimidate me and my team.
Can you elaborate a bit on that?
So people, was it a group?
Was it a specific group?
Was it just random people?
They sent them there.
They had guns on them or what?
Yeah, she sent people from, I think it was Watts.
I think it was like four men to one of our events.
I haven't reported it on social media.
We were having a backpack giveaway in a food drive, and she sent the guys there to try and intimidate me.
And one of the guys had two guns.
And it was just like, wow, really?
At a family event, this is what you do.
After we de-escalate the situation, my team caught up with him and asked them who sent them.
And they showed the email where one of her chief of staff, you know, had them come up to our event.
Wow, that's crazy.
I'm going to have to get that video from you.
Do you think that Joe Biden's administration wants to bring Americans together?
Like I mentioned, there's so many times where they're dehumanizing Trump supporters.
They're calling them, they've gone as far as call a lot of them terrorists now.
Do you think they actually want people to come together or does it matter for them?
No, they don't want people to come together at all.
This has never been their agenda is to bring people together.
They talk trash, get into office.
They talk trash about Trump supporters.
Mind you, it's about 75 million people who support Trump.
And, you know, now Joe Biden's talking about he want peace.
He's stalking this and that, but I don't believe anything he says.
He's lied so many times.
He said he's not going to rule by executive order.
First day in office, 17 executive orders.
He didn't do anything for the black community.
He just gave a pass to 11 million immigrants and told everybody across the United States, you got 100 days to come to the United States and we're going to give you a citizenship.
He's allowed little boys to participate in little girls' sports.
And so we see what the agenda is for the Biden administration and it's not unity.
Yeah, I don't think anyone could have anticipated that Biden would work faster than Trump with more executive orders, far more.
It just so happens they're terrible decisions, in my opinion.
You know, talking about Biden, he just signed some executive orders and I want to get your opinion on this and how they claim that they're going to address what he calls systemic racism.
So if we could bring some of those up, Justin, I want to read them off to you, Joe, and get your reaction.
Direct the Department of Justice to not renew contract with private prisons.
Ordered Department of Housing to fully implement Fair Housing Act, push federal agencies for more regularly meaningful talk with tribal governments, Direct Health and Human Services, as well as COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force to examine the best practices to protect Asian community, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders as part of relief efforts.
Now, Joe, I want to show you a clip of what Joe Biden has to say about this, and then I want to get your reaction to those executive orders.
At the moment it arrived as a nation where we face deep racial inequities in American systemic racism that has plagued our nation for far, far too long.
I said that over the course of the past year that the blinders have been taken off the nation, the American people.
But what many Americans didn't see or had simply refused to see couldn't be ignored any longer.
Those eight minutes and 46 seconds that took George Floyd's life opened the eyes of millions of Americans and millions of people around all over the world.
It was the knee on the neck of justice, and it wouldn't be forgotten.
Now, Joe, I don't know what George Floyd has to do with any of these executive orders, but it sounds to me just by reading them, as you can see, that they're more about Native Americans and Pacific Islanders getting disaster relief in neighboring islands.
How does this address systemic racism at all?
Well, he does have the one that allows the Department of Justice to renew private contracts to prisons.
I mean, that facilitates black racial inequality right there, put more black people in prison because that's what private prison industrial complex does.
But nothing that Joe Biden says ever makes sense, and nothing that he says will ever resonate with me or anybody in the black community.
I think he's trash.
Now, is it ironic?
Do you think it's ironic coming from Joe Biden?
Because I've made a lot of videos about him.
And when I go back in the history of him in office, a lot of the stuff's very hard to find.
He's got all these weird statements from the past, which I think that he doesn't believe are racist, but they certainly sound very racist.
I mean, he's known as the father of the crime bill.
And by the end of his term, that'll be 12 out of 16 years where Joe Biden's in the White House.
How come things have not gotten better in terms of racial inequality or racial justice in the U.S.?
Well, because Joe Biden is the epitome of white supremacy in the United States.
I mean, when you look at every single thing that Joe Biden has ever done, it has never been to help anybody of any racial or ethnic background.
I mean, you look at the 94 crime bill, that was all him.
He was there whenever Jim Crow was enacted.
He walked with the grand wizard from the Ku Klux Klan.
Even under Obama as a vice president, he still didn't do anything except for allow his son to run around to different countries and extort them.
So, I mean, Joe Biden, he's legitimately trash, and I don't know why people voted for him.
Yeah, and a lot of the stuff, I don't know if the viewers know this, and I don't know how much of you've seen, but besides the obvious one about busing, he's got stuff where he was friends with extreme racists, extreme segregationists who said, you know, Joe, whether it's supporting you or coming out against you, I'll do whatever you want to help you out.
He said he got along great with that guy, and he was, he literally said black people are an inferior race.
And then there's the other guy who's the last Dixie Crat to run for president.
He got along great with him.
So for a guy who's got all these stories about how much he's beloved in the black community, he sure got a lot of shady connections.
Joe, how do you think they square this with the public?
Is it just a matter of don't ask, don't tell?
I mean, Kamala Harris, she's got her background and her profession of putting people in jail.
Joe Biden, he's got his background.
How do they pull the wool over the eyes of people?
And I know I'm sounding really biased here, but this is just the reason.
I didn't come into this thinking I'm going to find that he's racist and they're all doing this stuff.
This is just based on my own research.
How do they square this with the public, or is it just a matter of hiding it?
Well, that's what the mainstream media is for.
They kind of sway opinions based on a type of propaganda that they push out.
They push out that Trump was a racist and Joe Biden was the best things and sliced bread.
And it's actually the reverse.
Joe Biden was a racist and President Trump was actually good for America.
I mean, you got to think.
Trump was telling Black America, Latinos, and Asians, you know, what do you want me to do?
I got $500 billion of platinum plan here.
I'll let you guys start businesses and stuff like that.
Tell me what you need, and I'm going to get it done.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden's on a Zoom call with civil rights leaders staying in hell with y'all.
I run on a platform nobody thought would work.
So I don't need y'all.
Y'all going to compete with the Mexicans.
That's exactly what he said.
Yeah, and a lot of people look past that, the billions of dollars that you mentioned.
I mean, there was a meeting he had with black leaders in the White House, and they said the hardest, I forget what her name was.
I don't want to get it wrong, but a woman there said that the hardest part about getting this money to the inner cities is getting it past the Democrat leaders who run this city and getting it to the actual business owners and people that need the money.
Now, Joe, I want to play a clip for you, which I believe you addressed on News Max, but it's so much fun.
And I love Don Lemon just as much as you do that I call him Don Lamone.
And I can't get enough of this.
Justin, can we cue up that wonderful clip of Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo?
If you voted for Trump, you voted for the person who the Klan supported.
You voted for the person who Nazis support.
You voted for the person who the alt-right supports.
That's the crowd that you are in.
You voted for the person who incited a crowd to go into the Capitol and potentially take the lives of lawmakers, took the lives of police officers, took the lives of innocent lives who were there on the Capitol that day.
You voted on that site.
Two of my favorite guys, Joe, Don Lamone and tough guy Chris Cuomo.
My first question to you, Don Lemon, is he, does he blatantly lie or does he just not understand the things that he talks about and talks about them on the show anyways?
I think that he's gotten away with lying so much that he just says whatever he wants to.
What he needs is a swift kick in the ass.
And that's the problem right there.
See, guys like him and Chris Cuomo, because they never had confrontation, because nobody ever pulled up on them, they feel like they could say what they want and it should be okay.
But you never catch these guys out in public.
You never see these guys anywhere.
They won't talk trash to your face.
And that's the problem with America right now.
People with the internet and TV and everything make punks look like tough guys.
Well, his logic there is completely flawed.
I mean, there's two candidates.
The Klan's going to support one.
And the Democrats started the Klan.
And the Clints were friends with a bunch of them.
Joe, like I mentioned before, Joe Biden got along very well with a lot of segregationists.
How do they do this?
Even the last Dixie Crat candidate, like I says, other vile racists were willing to endorse him.
Who believes this, Joe?
What are we watching now as MSNBC goes on about the incitement of riot and still impeachment?
Who is still believing this stuff, Joe?
Who's still the CNN viewer that's 100% all in?
I think it's about 11 million people that watch CNN.
And so those are the only 11 million people that might believe the stuff that they see.
But those are the people who don't go outside.
Those are people who don't really get engaged in what's going on.
Those are the people who just sit in the house all day and they believe in that in that propaganda media.
Now, we can go on and on about who we don't like to watch on CNN.
That's pretty obvious.
Who do you watch these days?
Who's somebody that you like the opinions of, whether it's current politics or a reporter or an anchor or something like that?
I would say that Chris Salcedo and maybe Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, probably my favorite people to watch.
But even then, I still take it with a green and salt to make sure I go back and do my research before I take what they say at face value.
Now, how do you feel about a lot of these?
I mean, late night talk show hosts are too easy.
Like, they're going to endorse whoever their network tells them to endorse.
But a lot of celebrities, and I think of one, you see Lil Wayne coming out as a Republican.
You see, I think, Exhibit as well, a lot of rappers coming out.
But on the other side, you see artists and mainstream media.
Like you have Lady Gaga at the inauguration.
You had Tom Hanks.
What do you think's in it for them?
Now, the late, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the guy named Kingface.
He's deceased a few months ago, but he personally told me that he was offered a million dollars to go against Donald Trump.
Do you have any inside information on how this comes to be?
I don't see Lady Gaga picking up the New York Times every day and going to Fox News every day.
I mean, I could be wrong, but based on what she said, it hasn't been apparent.
What's in it for these?
Is it just the in-club?
Is it just the in-crowd and getting to perpetuate their celebrity as long as they toe the line?
Yeah, basically.
They try to get the most influential celebrities to go against an agenda that the Hollywood industry doesn't like.
When it comes to Kingface, rest his soul, I can't confirm or deny that he was offered money.
That's something that we've never talked about.
But it's possible.
It's possible.
All right, Joe, last question before I let you go.
I mean, I feel like we could trash people all day.
We have a good rapport there.
You let me know, what is your main goal going forward?
Are you going to run again?
What is next for you?
What's on the horizon?
Oh, yeah, we're running again.
We've already put our paperwork in and filed to run for Congress again.
Our main focus right now is getting rid of Gavin Newsome.
He's been the most bipolar governor we've ever seen in a very long time.
People are getting sick of him, Democrats and Republicans.
So my campaign is going to help California and get rid of that guy and try to find someone else to put in office of governorship.
Running Again00:01:06
Oh, that reminds me is the last thing here.
How do you feel about now that Biden's office, all these cities are saying it's time to open up?
Coincidence?
No, I think it's hypocritical.
You know, they perpetuated the pandemic as if it was just this totally terrible thing, even though the death rate is like 0.006 or 0.007 or something like that.
They did it so they can sneak the mail-in ballots so they can ballot harvest and stuff ballot boxes and do whatever they can in order to be President Trump.
Now that he's not in office anymore, they're open back up.
But I don't think they understand they have a bigger problem than President Trump right now.
Yeah, and I'm glad we're behind the paywall now because what I believe to be true, what you just said, would get us banned on YouTube.
So thanks for joining me, Joe.
You want to have any last words you want to share?
Thank you for having me on the show.
I really appreciate it.
No problem.
We'll get it out to the people.
I think people need to hear that they're all are alternative voices in places like California.
And you still got a lot of votes, even though you didn't win last time.
