>> What I'd like to do at this juncture is introduce you to a man who believes keeping
a gym open in the midst of a deadly pandemic and an uncontrolled virus shows his real patriotism.
His name's Ian Smith, owner of the TELUS gym in Belmar New Jersey.
>> As the US nears of grim milestone, nearly 300,000 American lives lost-
>> As people have died needlessly in this country, folks like Ian Smith believe it is their duty to
keep their businesses open, defy the guidelines to knit the virus in the bud, and continue killing
their fellow Americans. Smith is a blowhard Trump supporter who will literally die on this hill
of not mandating mask and welcoming everyone to participate in TELUS gym's super spreaders.
>> Are you still welcoming patrons into your business?
>> Absolutely. >> Unfortunately,
for Magga Douchey and Smith this card is not true. They're not finding you
for printing words on paper, but go on. Let's see what else you got in store. Yes,
free men toxic masculinity, and here is where we pause, no science, no shutdown.
This is the modern day GOP in its present day form. They don't believe in science but
I truly wonder why they don't have polio. >> So how do you think this will end?
>> We believe it's gonna end as we have decided to get on our side.
>> This is Frank Trumbetti, Smith's accomplice and co-owner.
So Smith pulls a stunt like this that is super spreader establishment. He shows, let's keep it
real, a frightening sight, an enclosed entrapment, a packed gym. A hotspot for the coronavirus
to live, to breathe, to infect, and be carried out by these gym goers to bring back into their
communities, their homes, their families, their friends, there is not a mask inside.
It says if our country is too stupid to learn, too illogical to seek of the lives of others.
>> Well, we've been in business since May we open every single day.
>> As they state on white supremacy power hour, they just don't care.
>> You stuck your neck out, you went public with the revolt, and then destroyed you.
Forgive me for asking, but did they destroy you and can you come back?
>> Absolutely not. >> Sadly, it is the right
wing ethos that promotes this reckless disregard for human life. As the Washington Post reported
all our feelings on this propagandize outlet rang true. The raw authentic numbers via
three different studies showed how Fox News amplified misinformation to its audience.
>> You've defied the will of an authoritarian governor and he's determined to crush use-
>> Thus, you hear crap like this, but what about this?
>> We last talked to George after they were arrested last month, but that was not enough
to break their determination to continue because they are after all Americans.
>> Arrested but not enough to break their spirit because they're Americans?
What weird unfounded logic by a guy. >> White supremacy, that's the problem.
This is a hoax, just like the Russia hoax. It's a conspiracy theory, used to divide the country,
and keep a hold on power. >> So arrest can't hold me
down as Tucker's thinking, I wonder why.
Hasn't Fox News ever mentioned that in 2007 Smith, the owner of this gym,
drank 10 to 12 beers, got behind the wheel, ran a stop sign, struck and killed
19-year-old, Kevin Ade. The college radio student was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ade's cousin Jimmy Connelly wrote on Facebook he left Kevin curled up under the dash of his
car wrapped around a tree less than two miles from his own home to die alone.
His rich daddy made sure he got the lightest sentence after killing my cousin.
And then running into the nearest house to hide narcotic paraphernalia.
Sorry, for the language but f him and his gym.
You see, when Fox News sends its people, they're not sending their best including this dude.
>> Every job is essential, why can Walmart have packed stores and crowds of people in parking lot
but he can't responsibly open his business- >> First off, they're not being responsible.
Second, Pete Hegseth, pictured here, attempting to be a human being
is not the kind of person to have good hygiene
>> 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I set off here. I don't think I've
washed my hands for ten years. >> Yikes. So Smith murdered a
19-year-old and now he is back of his killing ways by keeping his gym open.
>> Frank and I when we opened back in May, we promised each other that we were going to see
this all the way through and that we were about to fight until we had nothing left.
>> It shows he has no regard for the law, said Robert Henchy, Ade's uncle,
who drove drunk, killed someone. It's probably one of the lightest sentences I've ever seen,
said Henchy a retired police officer. And now it's 13 years
later, you're out to find the law once again, I just don't get it.
He already killed somebody and now he's going to put other people's lives in jeopardy by
opening the gym. Ade's aunt said, I used to drive in my car and say I forgive him.
I forgive Ian Smith hoping if I said it, I would feel it, she said in an interview,
and then I look at this and I'm angry again.
As Smith continued to keep his business open as more and more
Americans die from their rash and careless way of living in the name of patriotism,
the fines also continue. Smith pleaded for donations over and over,
and over again. Here's the thing, donations did indeed pour in just for another cause.
Ade's aunt, Beth Henchy, told NJ.com that people have started making contributions in Ade's name to
the HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers. If you'd like to hear more thought provoking content like
