0:00 It turns out there's a very small percentage of the US populations that likes to see people shackled and flown to prison camps to [snorts] be murdered in the streets to watch people die in custody. [snorts] And even in ruby red states like Alabama, we see this happening at town halls for Barry Moore. These are Republican Congress people going to their districts being confronted by their own constituents.

0:31 WHY ARE PEOPLE NOT GETTING DUE PROCESS? For a citizen and a NONITIZEN false lies. The fifth AND 14TH AMENDMENTS ALLOW FOR THE SUPREME COURT HAS BACKED IT many times.

0:55 Shame. SHAME. That's Alabama. That That's amazing to me to see that kind of response in Alabama. It again, it kind of gives me some hope that people do not like this [ __ ] at all. Yeah, I think that, you know, you haven't seen them do that many h town halls since the beginning of Trump 2.0. They were doing them and then they stopped doing them. So, it's interesting to see that he's actually doing another one. My fear is that I I have this just really horrible feeling about ICE um being their budget being increased and ICE being a voter day suppression force, particularly in swing districts and black neighborhoods, black polling precincts, immigrant precincts, um where you have Latino populations. And um I think it would be a massive blue tsunami. And I feel that the Democratic leadership is not meeting this moment in defunding ICE immediately and abolishing it, especially in light of Tulsi Gabbard

2:05 going to Fulton County. And she already in a cabinet meeting with Trump said, "Oh, we found so much stuff already. I'll be sending you a report soon. We found stuff everywhere." So, we're a couple of new cycles away from him declaring and cooking the books and making evidence that he won the 2020 election. He's going to lie about it again. It's still not going to fix him. And um then he's going to say our elections weren't safe and that's I mean the fix is in and the Democrats are playing patty cake thinking if they put a camera on these ICE agents which are all running around with their phones that somehow that's going to fix it. And it's just watch like watching a slow torturous death.

2:48 Yeah. [snorts] And and they have their faces covered. And I read an article that ICE agents said they don't want their faces not covered because they'd be ostracized in their communities and their families. And I'm like, does that not give you pause about what you're doing that you have to cover your face because what you're doing is so shameful? Like that says a lot to me. Okay. in in Wyoming, we have that awful Harriet Hegman. She got booed out of her town hall. And then um here's another thing that I just saw that Tom Swisy who voted to fund ICE, he had a town hall.

3:25 It did not go well for him. People brought him a diaper. People were saying they were furious and mad. And here's the thing, it is indefensible. Voting to fund ICE is indefensible. you can't defend it because we all see the videos. We all see the human rights violations. We're seeing that people are taken from Minnesota and shipped to Texas and then if they're released it's like will you find your way back. It's so stunning that we're even having to debate this that but unfortunately we are. And then I just in talking about polling and what the American people like. This is a Fox News poll and Fox News Brett Bearer and that other guy that talk on I mean one of the other ones that's not like Sean Hannity super overmade Jesse Waters kind of guy that's somewhat used to be at least a serious news person. They were talking about how unpopular this is. But this is a Fox News poll. 59% of Americans, including 71% of

4:28 independents, say ICE deportation efforts are too aggressive. That's a plus 10 increase overall and a plus 22 increase among independents. And I furthermore read that Trump's base besides evangelical voters are poor voters. And the under reportported polling right now is he is he is really losing all of support with poor voters. This overt wealth that he's showing and all of the oligarchs all of the time and remodeling stuff. Well, these people are really suffering andor losing their jobs. Another issue that isn't reported very much and would be if there was a Democratic president. The firings and the layoffs this year alone have been unbelievable. And if there were this many layoffs under a Joe Biden or Kla Harris or Barack Obama, it would be all over the news. Not just Fox, but CNN, everybody. The jobs market, the jobs market, the jobs market. You don't hear it because it's not only Congress

5:28 that provides cover for this regime. Media provides cover for this regime as well. And so the Tom Swazis of the world are basically Republicans that run in Democratic districts and their donors are the same donors as Republican donors. And they constantly vote with Republicans and they say what they're supposed to say to get elected in blue districts. And they end up voting with Republicans all of the time. And now we're we're living with this. We're living with the consequences of vote blue no matter who. We're living with those consequences right now. And this is why a very rigorous autopsy of the Democratic Party is necessary. And I want to remind everybody that the head of the DNC spiked the autopsy report so that we won't know what it says. And this is a time where you find out what went wrong. What is going why did why did we lose workingclass voters? Why didn't our base show up to vote against

6:29 this imminent threat? What is the problem? And instead, we have a party that has disjointed leadership. Seven members that vote to fund fascism and murder of their fellow Americans and play patty cake with fascism. Hide and watch. ICE is priming the public for election day suppression. It's coming. It's coming. And we're a few news cycles away from Kanks saying that he won the 2020 election. and he will be able to run for a f fourth term and elections weren't safe. He's proven that there's all this fraud and so he's going to have to jack them all up and it's coming.

7:09 Well, it starts with Georgia and now I saw that they were introducing legislation to give more federal oversight [snorts] to the federal government. Well, why do you think that is? Do you think that this administration in the future, let's say it's run by uh a Democratic president, do you think they want the federal government to have that much overreach and be able to go in to what are very now localized elections? No. They never are going to lose power after this power grab. I think you're 100% spot on. And that what happened in Georgia that [snorts] I think that's a bellweather. I think that's where we're headed in all of these states. And I agree with you, it is suppression city because they're getting such a chilling effect with this ICE stuff murdering people and then just throwing it in people's faces and lying about what actually happened. It is so appalling to me.

8:10 But while all that is going on, I just want to make a point that Jake Tapper, who went on and on about Sleepy Joe and how Biden was being covered up by his aids and other people were covering up his loss. At least you could cover up Joe Biden's aging. At least you could cover up his fumbles because we've got a president of the United States. Kylie, pop this off and pop this up and you can run this while we're talking. Good morning. Jake Tapper says [snorts] in the 900 PM Eastern hour, then recommencing into the 500 am Eastern, the president posted or reposted more than 60 times attacking President Obama, Prime Minister Carney, Governor Nuome, Governor Walls, Representative Omar, Alex Prey, and sharing a bunch of untethered nonsense about the 2020 election. I mean, this is terrifying.

9:03 Jennifer, what what you were saying actually makes I mean it makes everything kind of crystal clear and that it's it's a very

9:13 the fix is in the fix is in and Hakee and Chuckles are going to play patty cake and not put up a resistance and Republicans that are in um vulnerable districts are not going to put up a resistance and they are putting the fix in. They are going to say our elections are not safe. We found widespread fa fraud. We have to have ICE monitor all election places which is going to leave people of color feeling the most vulnerable. As we sit here in podcast, there are people hiding that are here legally that are scared to go outside.

9:53 you have children that their parents are having to sit down with them and talk to them about. Now, if somebody comes up to you and asks you where you're from and have these conversations with them, if maybe they get off the bus stop and they have to walk three or four houses home because their parents maybe work two jobs because they can't [ __ ] afford to live in this country because we only fund the oligarchs and make sure that we rig the system for them. And they, this administration, this regime has governed as though they will never face accountability. And they continue to do so. And after that murder of Alex Prey, they started like, oh [ __ ] like, oh, we have Republicans, we have the New York Post, we have the Wall Street Journal, we have 60 corporations sign on that this is bad. So what's the next step? Go prove that there was fraud in 2020. get the fix in and then you know that he as

10:47 incompetent as they are they're brilliant at wagging the dog. You know they're breaking the law in the Epstein vials. Um the economy again the most under reportported story of 2025 and into 2026. How fundamental uh the breakage of the economy is. It is massive. It is massive. And it is it's never ever even a blip in the news cycle because he is doing I mean and here's the deal. He has fired the jobs report person and I just saw they've updated over a million jobs lost in 202025 and you're exactly right. I never ever hear that because there is so much [ __ ] going on it's just damn near impossible.

11:30 But it's this is important. This is an important part to know the part that the media has played in this. Absolutely. Think about when Biden was president and inflation, which was real, now inflation is worse and it's hardly ever spoken about. The standard that Democratic presidents are held to is they always the media works in conjunction with these corporate donors to sabotage the administration. And the Democrats have their own problem of not. If you look at what Zoron's doing right now, he is making policy changes and he's advertising about it. He's doing both at the same time. He's constantly present.

12:09 He's doing podcast. He's working full-time and saying, "Here's what we just did in New York today. Here's what we did to help for child care." Joe Biden never did any of that. So, he allowed these right-wing fascists to falsely brand a lot of his achievements in office and allowed them to control the news cycle. And the Democrats are still playing that game. The Democrats could grab the news cycle right now if they didn't listen to Hawke Jeff and every single one of them went to Minnesota and shamed themselves in front of ICE officers and said, "You have to get through the United States Congress people before you can get to these people." Are you going to shoot us too?

12:49 This moment requires a civil rights Selma type protest and nobody is meeting this. And when I see the the stuff that happens with Congress and with the Senate and then that these board meetings continue to go on the cabinet meetings and it there's a normaly to all of this that is very unsettling to me because this cannot be normal to me. I don't think it's cute. I don't think it's neat. I don't think it's fun. I think it's dangerous. And while I sit here white and privileged, there are millions of people in this country, millions that live in fear all day, every day, that feel like they cannot tuck their kids in at night and they're going to feel safe because ICE could come knock on the door and take them or their kids are in a concentration camp or all of the people that have died in custody and where are the alligator Alcatraz people? So there's nothing that this regime does that I'm going to buy into as wagging

13:48 the dog as the from away from the brutality and the cruelty that's being exacted upon the American public right now and the the dismantling of our dismoc democracy is beyond the pale to me and this is such a critical moment and I feel so much urgency and I'm just saddened that Democratic leadership doesn't feel that way. Now, there are individual Democrats that are rising to this occasion and really, really finding their voices. I just fear it's going to be too late because I feel like the fix is in with this thing with the elections. And I'm sorry to be an alarmist, but everything we predicted before has happened and it's just it's happened quicker.

14:31 Yeah. And I I don't think you're being an alarmist. I think that you have a much more solid grasp and more clarity about it than a majority of the Congress people that we have sadly. All right, please like this video, subscribe to our channel, and we will be back with more news.
