1:06This is number seven, folks. Get out of the box. Get out of the box. Whoa! Fucking bitch. Is that Agent Ross's voice calling Renee Good a fucking bitch? I can't determine which one it is, but it could be, sir. In June of last... Okay, Kylie, go back, rewind that a little bit. And I want the viewer and for pubs to see the smirk on her face at the end of that, which kind of reads almost like, yeah, he called her a fucking bitch. Like she supports it. To me, this, the fact that she doesn't say, watch the smirk right here. The fact that she doesn't see that. Do you see that right there? This is their flavor.
2:00it's not only great that he killed this woman, it's also excellent. The cherry on top that he called her a fucking bitch. And you can see it right there. That fucking bitch, Christy Noem likes that. And this administration, I hate to say this, but from now until the midterms, I think we have not seen anything yet. No, I mean, it is getting worse every day. Like they doubled down on a video we all saw and acted like it was the radical left Antifa domestic terrorists when everybody saw it. Everybody saw it. So now they're having to double down on the most horrific, horrific crimes. And, you know, the reason, Kristi Noem, in my opinion, she thought she was a fucking bitch, too.
2:47She thought she deserved it. She didn't see anything wrong with any of it. And she's in charge of these people. I agree. I agree with you that she agreed with him on that. That's hence the smirk. All right, this is a headline from 2014. And I show you this, you guys, because it's important. And I always remind everybody constantly that this doesn't happen in a vacuum. We haven't just been this normally functioning country all of this time. And then Trump appears and all this fuckery starts. So February 28th, 2014, the Nation magazine reports that U.S. border agents intentionally stepped in front of moving vehicles to justify shooting at them.
3:28An internal review of the U.S. Border Patrol raises serious questions about the agency's use of force policy. My point in bringing this up to you guys is when we govern incrementally, when the Democrats get control and there's this incremental governing and we allow for injustices. I'm talking about like injustices, like these border patrol agents, injustices against our African-American population in the court system. And we just fix a little bit of it and we're silent about a lot of it. It left the vacuum for now. We all saw last week on our devices, a fellow American with her dog, her lab in the backseat of her car, get shot by an ICE officer and called a fucking bitch.
4:25And this article is from 12 years ago that this behavior was happening with law enforcement. And my question is, why does the United States of America allow officers to behave in such a way all of the time? And then we incarcerate so many more people than any other first world country. and we never fix these issues. We never fix them. When you incubate one thing, something worse comes out of it. And so since we never fixed this issue in 2014, now we've got indiscriminate murdering in the streets of Minneapolis. When I look at the course of the history of, you know, the United States just in my lifetime, I see so oftentimes we're throwing money at the symptoms instead of addressing what the problem is.
5:26We're not fixing the problem. We're just addressing the symptoms. Like why is the gun culture in America such that it is? Why do we continue to breed racism? In my opinion, that's where we need to be investing in solutions is to change how people think of guns and racism, because I'm with you. Like this continues to happen and we just keep letting it happen. You know, it's just kind of like we arrest drug dealers and people that take drugs versus trying to fix the problem of addiction and how we got there. So we're wasting so much time and money trying to control the symptoms versus the actual problem.
6:08Yeah. And we don't invest in people. We invest in, you know, complex, you know, the prison industrial complex, now this policing industrial complex, the rehab industrial complex. We don't invest in a rich and people particularly have been abandoned. Our African American communities that have been, instead of us investing in them, we've invested in police forces to target them. And that is something that we still very much need to atone for. Moving along, Kristi Noem doesn't understand why people argue with the president. ...heating law enforcement operations throughout the previous moments and hours before the incident happened.
6:53The question is, what was she doing when she was moving her car? The question is, why are we arguing with a president who's working to keep people safe? All right, enough. The reason we're arguing with the president, Kristi Noem, is because we get to argue with the president. And if you want to be a president, then you are in a position where people criticize you all day, every day in every country around the world. If you're thin-skinned, you might not be a candidate to be president of the United States. We get to criticize him. We get to disagree with him. We get to disagree with you. We get to think that you're a sociopathic twat that needs to be fired and imprisoned.
7:36And we get to have those thoughts. We get to bicker online about that because that is the first amendment. I know that you and MAGA and all of the MAGA Christians in the world want to be the thought police, want to control people, are interested in what people are doing in the bedroom, are fine with violence as long as it's against gay people and black people. I know. I've not known women like you my whole life, Christy Noem. I know what you are. All hat, no cattle. You act like you're this big Christian woman while you're fucking around on your husband, shooting your dog, treating your kids like shit for shooting their pet, probably religiously abusing them.
8:17And then you go to work for a convicted felon. And then you get on TV like you have the moral high ground. This I know hits hard in MAGA world. And I know that all the Bible study moms are all in on all of your shit. But the majority of Americans are not. I am deeply saddened to see any violence, even Charlie Kirk's death, saddened me. I'm horrified that my government shot Renee Good and that you have the audacity and the delusion and the propaganda and the Nazi DNA to then get on TV and say that she's a terrorist and you think we're so fucking stupid. Well, I think the reason she thinks we're so fucking stupid is the triple Trumpers that are going along with this and they're acting like, oh yeah, it was self-defense.
9:14They are that fucking stupid. And I, for me personally, it's because they lack the ability to critically think, and they would rather side with the cult leader than go against the cult because it's too painful. But Kristi Noem, absolutely positively, in my opinion, she would do this to anybody that spoke out against her or this regime. She does not believe in democracy. She is not a patriot. She is an authoritarian leader that takes money for ice and corruptly gives it all to her buddies. She doesn't give a shit. Just look at the Texas floods. She didn't, three days it went without her, any response from her department.
9:56She's fucking putting posters or, you know, the paint, her official painting on a horse and a cowboy hat while people are still have not been found in that flood. I mean, these are not people that want human life and dignity. They don't give a shit. They're in on get rid of everybody that opposes us because then we can be supreme because they're that broken. I completely agree. And then I want to skip over Kylie and go to number five. You guys, it's almost like deportations are not the point. Kylie, put up these stats. Donald Trump is really bad at his job, even deportations. Deportations by president.
10:40Clinton deported 12 million. Bush deported 10 million. Obama, 5.2 million. Biden, Sleepy Joe, 7 million. Trump has deported 1.2 million. Riots caused by deportations. Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden, zero. Trump, 200 plus and counting riots due to deportation. And I show you guys all of this because the deportations are not the point. The deportations are the scapegoat. They are the excuse. The point of this is to terrorize all of us so that we descend into nihilism, so that we think, oh, could the government maybe not harass us at Target today, so that we become emotionally, psychologically, and always kind of in a Stockholm style syndrome dependent upon them.
11:36You have a very incompetent president surrounded by a lot of incompetent people that are backed by a lot of really dark, depraved human beings. These people at Palantir, these people at SpaceX, they have a vision for the United States of America that doesn't involve your vote, that doesn't involve you having agency and the ability to correct course. If we elect a crazy fucking person, like we did in George W. Bush, then, you know, let's try Obama for eight years. And then the electorate, much to my chagrin, thought, okay, let's try him. They want to set up a permanent system of government wherein the stuff that you're seeing right now is commonplace, where we are in a constant police state, where all of the Palantir and all of the technology from these tech oligarchs as facial identification, they're tracking your cell phones.
12:38It's a complete weird control state. And Kristi Noem is too stupid to understand any of this. She's just all about, oh, I'm in a department of formal insecurity. She doesn't have a conscience, but there are some really dark forces behind all of this. And their chosen successor is the increasingly verbal white nationalist, JD Vance. And these people are not fucking around. As unserious as Christy Nome is, the purpose of all of these ICE raids is to terrorize us. It is not about deporting people who are here illegally. That's not what it is about. That is not what this is about. It is about terrorizing citizens of an alleged free country.
13:26Well, and I think they really, really, really are terrified of the midterms because you hear Mike Johnson say, Trump's even said it. You know, if it's a blue wave, I'm going to get impeached. Why are you going to get impeached? Because you're fucking breaking the law every fucking day. That's why you're getting impeached. And Kristina, I think of her as a youthful idiot. She just happens to be a sociopath that has no feelings and she can't feel empathy. So she's happy to go shoot all these people and do all this shit. But I'm with you. I mean, it's the white nationalists and oligarchs that they just want it to be a white nation.
14:01Look at Stephen Miller, he wants to deport 100 people, wouldn't that make it a 97 % white nation? Wasn't that the statistic? It's white supremacy, full stop, in my opinion. They want the oligarchs to rule. They want to have all the money. They don't want the people that don't look like them to vote, and they don't want, because there's more of us than there are of them. All right. New year, new us, yak, yak, blah, blah. The problem with all of this new year, new you stuff. It's difficult to take your new year's resolution over the finish line, but not with iRestore.

15:32Just use code NEWS at irishtore.com. That's news at irishtore.com. Please support our show and tell them that we sent you. Start the new year feeling confident and refreshed. All right, moving along. This is Corbin Trent, and he is the former comms director for AOC. and he went on Fox News inside the Death Star and schooled them. And I just thought this is fantastic. Play the clip. So what's funny to me is when is violence, when is protest, when is this all acceptable? But isn't that the same though? Where's the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? I mean, I don't see anybody in Columbia.
16:14Well, they're doing those today and it's called the ICE protests. Well, are they talking about Iran at the ICE protest? No, I think they're talking about the regime that's shooting people in the face. I mean, I think it's a very American idea to not want police forces to be able to shoot Americans indiscriminately. And the idea that J.D. Vance says is that they should have absolute immunity. You know, I thought this guy was a hillbilly. He had a book, Hillbilly Elegy. And I can tell you, hillbilly values, at least from where I'm from in Appalachia, are that the government ought not be able to have absolute immunity when they shoot you in the face.
16:47But maybe we came from a different Appalachia. OK, Corbyn. OK, number one. Great job, Corbyn Trent. Number two. Do you notice how the right wing media always puts the moral onus on the left? Why aren't they protesting about Iran? They protested about Palestine. They themselves have zero standard at all. But they put any sort of human rights violation or protests in the world. They put that squarely on the Democrats' shoulders. And then when you protest and when you stand up for human rights, then they criticize you for doing that. And Fox News is a joke and a half, but Corbyn Trent to go on there and say they are protesting and they're protesting American citizens getting shot in the face, A plus, no notes.
17:38And I want to bring you to something I think is so important. We would not be in this stage of fascism, this authoritarian coup takeover without media complicity. And media complicity has been such a massive part of this regime's ascent. from starting from when Donald Trump descended down the escalator to normalizing January 6th, to normalizing what is happening right now. And so Prem Thacker put some interesting stuff up on his blog, which I believe is on Substack, which I found spot on. Kylie popped this up. Asal Rad says, what if mainstream media headlines were actually written like this? And on his Substack, subtext with Prem.
18:26He does a headline, U.S. authoritarian regime executes unarmed civilian as a ruler grows more erratic, isolated. And Prem proposes, what if we wrote about events in Trump's America in the way that Western media describe African and Middle Eastern countries? And this to me cannot be emphasized enough. Every headline coming out of what this regime does should be that pointed, should be that Western media should cover it the way they cover countries where the majority of the people are black or brown or Muslim, because you're relentless and ruthless and justified in the egregious human rights violations that happen in Iran.
19:15The egregious human rights violations that happen in the Middle East and African countries with two-bit dictators that don't give a shit about civil liberties. You're spot on in those headlines. But when it comes to Trump, it's like at Weiss House on Friday, Trump talks to oil executives. Right. When really, what he does is he bumbles around like a fucking fool, lies through his teeth, has grievances about the Nobel Peace Prize, while his administration is shooting people with their dogs in the back of their cars that are trying to get away from the masked Gestapo. And so I just think this sort of reporting is, the lack of this sort of reporting, the lack of this kind of hard hitting journalism is one of the things that has caused the normalization and the dehumanization to occur in this country that has allowed authoritarianism to get its footing.
20:09And I think it's really, really devastating. But you guys are not a part of that. You consume independent media, which I think is so incredibly important. So please subscribe to our channel, like this episode, and we'll be back later with more news.
