0:04The dam is breaking for the chief fascist, little pipsqueak, Stephen Miller. The Republicans are coming out against him. And here's my theory on this. Stephen Miller is objectively unlikable. Stephen Miller is objectively a psychopath. And the only person that I have ever seen that actually says something favorable about him is Jesse Waters. And so we all know that's just a propaganda scheme or some weird kinky thing between the two of them. And I'll let that play out over on Fox. But I think that Stephen Miller is more tangible for triple Trumpers inside the cult. They they sense something's wrong here.

0:46Our leaders old and frail. And they've loved this guy, like really loved this guy for 11 years. Like they have broken every single moral code within themselves to support an objectively broken, incompetent, narcissistic man that wears a full face of makeup. But Stephen Miller is somebody tangible that you can dislike. And so you're starting to see the Republicans pile on. Pop this up. Republicans sound the alarm on fleeing Hispanics and come for Stephen Miller. I'm not afraid of you. So this is the Latinos for Trump gal, right? And she, you know, she was doing all the salsa dancing with Trump.

1:33I will vote for Donald Trump and all of this stuff. Well, I don't know if they didn't see the signs at the Republican National Convention that said mass deportations now. We'll leave all of that up to other historians to chronicle. but obviously they're coming after everybody. White people, Hispanic people in this country for centuries, they've been coming after black people. And so we now live in this police state and the architect of this police state is Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem. They're trying to fire somebody over this situation in Minneapolis. And she's like, well, I just did what Stephen Miller and Donald Trump told me to do.

2:12So she's like, listen up, MFers. If you're coming after me, I'm taking you all down. And what we all have to realize is as abusive as these people in this administration are to us, they're that way with each other. This is the most toxic work environment on the planet. And Kristi Noem is such a narcissist. I mean, this is a gal who you can't even go to the airport now with her doing 15 costume changes on a screen at TSA. She's not just going to walk away from this without bringing everybody down with her. It's not going to happen. Here's the thing about Stephen Miller and Christina. I have family members, and I've said this before, that don't blame Trump for his policies and think this has gone over the line, but they hate Stephen Miller.

3:01They think Stephen Miller is bad, not realizing that technically Stephen Miller is the employee of Donald Trump. But I would just say about Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller, these two people outside of South Dakota, where Kristi Noem was elected by that population, and I have no answers for that. These people could not be assistant managers at Lowe's. They are mean. They are cruel. They are completely and totally without any skill except hate and cruelty. And do I think that Stephen Miller, who was filing white discrimination lawsuits for Trump when he was not in office, do I think he's going anywhere?

3:49No. Kristi Noem, though, I would be more scared of her because I think it's easier for her to turn because she loses her job, which means all the cosplay, all the power, all the money. She loses her boyfriend if she has to go back to South Dakota to her godly marriage. And so I see her as more the person that turns on everybody. I think Stephen Miller would go down with the Trump ship because I don't think Trump would ever fire him because of mutually assured destruction. That's my opinion. So I think as you think about strongman plots, succession becomes an underlying plot with the people surrounding the strongman.

4:32And the strongman is frail. He's showing signs of weakness. And so you have the opposing parties that Trump plays against each other, Rubio and J.D. Vance. and Trump is very susceptible and falls prey to who's ever last in his ear. Timothy Snyder was on the podcast yesterday and he said, you can tell when he's spoken to Putin on the phone because for three days, it's Russian propaganda talking points. So Stephen Miller has been sidelined from some meetings recently. And I think he would cut off his left arm. I think he would cut off his penis. I think he would give up his children to stay in this position under Trump.

5:12But the Republican Senate is starting to scream about Stephen Miller. And here is Senator Tillis. And I just wish that Chuck Schumer would take a play out of this playbook. Play the clip. Called you a loser, I believe. I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be Homeland Security Secretary and Senior Advisor to the President. So the question was, the president called you a loser today. And he said he was thrilled about that. And he said, like, basically, he bashed Trump, bashed Kristi Noem, and bashed Stephen Miller. So this drumbeat about Stephen Miller. And because all of these people are so broken, they are so psychotic.

5:58This is such a toxic work environment. And Trump 1.0, guardrails were up. People resigned. Leaks, leaks, leaks. Trump 2.0, first year, everybody's kind of stayed rock solid together. This fissure right here is going to manifest into some massive, delicious shit throwing between the sycophants surrounding Trump. Now, I want to bring something to everybody's attention that broke online last night from the BBC. So what is making people upset with Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem are these civilians getting shot. And then right after these civilians were executed and murdered, Stephen Miller comes out, Kristi Noem comes out and says they are domestic terrorists.

6:46Some footage from BBC has murder victim Alex Prady 11 days prior with a confrontation with ICE. And I want you to play this clip. This is a moment the news movement filmed on January 13th in Minneapolis, showing a man who appears to be Alex Preddy interacting with federal immigration agents 11 days before Border Patrol shot and killed him. Our footage was analyzed by the. OK, so this is 11 days prior. The BBC says they can confirm this. As you can see, Alex Preddy kicks an SUV. An agent comes out, tackles him. They don't arrest him. and they go off. Everybody goes along their way. Of course, the right-wing media echo chambers and Trump last night re-lied truth or whatever, a post that said Alex Preddy was a domestic terrorist.

7:47And I just want to say, kicking a SUV, not a good look, not peaceful protests, but does not warrant murder. And if anything, to me, this gives ICE agents, there was reporting a few days ago that ICE agents had him on a list and they were targeting him. It gives ICE agents premeditation. There is no world where you live in a democracy, where you kick a taillight on a truck that you deserve to be shot and executed and have nine bullets unloaded into your back. So here is how the right wing response to this put up Megan Kelly's tweet. Alex Preddy was itching for another confrontation with border patrol, whom he'd been stalking, harassing and terrorizing.

8:32He had been victimizing them. His felonies are on tape. He was reckless and it cost him his life. Find another poster boy, illegal loving leftists. And that last statement there, illegal loving leftists. This is what all of this is for Megyn Kelly and for everybody on the right wing, that people on the left, their narrative is that we're terrorists, we're Antifa, we love illegals. And there's no sense of humanity anywhere. This is just, he kicked a taillight, he's violent, he deserved to get shot. And what I want to say is here's the fundamental difference between my worldview and MAGA's worldview.

9:20I want people to feel safe. I want government to work and function. Right now, as I'm sitting here, I'll tell you two anecdotal stories. A person that I know in Oklahoma City, whose parents are of Mexican descent. Ice is going into red states too, Oklahoma City. People are hiding. People are not taking their children to school. There are ice raid lookouts. These people are not criminals. These people are good contributing people in this country, and they're living in fear and hiding. And this is before you even get to the people that are in detention centers that are being abused and served disgusting food and sleep deprivation.

10:03Another anecdotal story is somebody whom I exercise with here in New York City is in a relationship with a person who's here on a visa, a work visa. And she's terrified that her boyfriend is going to get, because he's brown skinned, that he is going to get targeted by ICE agents and cries about it all the time, living in utter fear. And I told her yesterday, the only thing you've ever done here is fallen in love with somebody who came here legally. And now she's terrified of her federal government. And for the Megyn Kellys and for the people on the right wing, this sort of recreational cruelty is exciting for them.

10:47Knowing that people are scared and that they are promoting terror and abusing people and promoting chaos, it excites them. And that's the difference. I got no joy watching the January 6th insurrectionists being violent or beating people up, nor do I feel like I have to take a victory lap right now, Megyn Kelly, and say, you guys are one, the ones that are violent, which you clearly are. None of this stuff is good. None of this stuff is productive. None of this stuff promotes safety. and this whole we told you so nanny nanny boo boo on on instagram and on twitter and in youtube channels all of this is so utterly insane because you want americans to be at war with each other because you're pissed off that somebody put their pronouns in their in their instagram bio or you're pissed off that somebody's not a Christian or you're pissed off that somebody's in a very healthy or maybe it's toxic gay relationship because you can't mind your own business.

11:56And so within your own broken brokenness, you seek to watch the breakage of other people. And you think that that somehow is going to fix you. And it doesn't. And I just think that's just abhorrent, abhorrent that Megyn Kelly and probably all these other right-wingers now are going to say that Alex Pretty deserved to be executed because he was pissed off at ICE for targeting innocent people, whether they're here legally or illegally. I inherently believe in the goodness of people. I've worked as an interior designer for over 25 plus years on construction sites all day, every day full of immigrant labor.

12:40These are good people that come over here and they get their wages exploited, but they're just grateful for the job so that they can send money back to their relatives or they pay taxes and all of these things here and they do not receive healthcare. They're not going to the Super Bowl. They're not taking your job because all of the Americans on the job site are too busy taking 1500 cigarette breaks to stay focused on the job site. And that's just the reality of it. I completely agree with you. One thing I will say, just on a personal level, I have been, you know, you see now ICE wants to go and be security for the Olympics.

13:18You see, they're going to be at the Super Bowl. You can't, you know, the right to assemble guaranteed under the Constitution, nobody wants to enforce that. That's fine. We're just going to kick that amendment to the curb. Free speech, nobody wants to talk about that. We're going to kick that to curb. It has a chilling effect. When I went to the No Kings protest the first time, I was raw, raw, couldn't wait to go. If there was a No Kings protest this weekend, I would have pause. I would go, but I would have pause. And there's no question how I feel on these issues, because it's, you are taking, like, I want to protest.

13:53I want to exercise my constitutional right while I am protected under the constitution. And then you have to take a clear eyed view. They're killing people for exercising their constitutional right. That's it. There is no pussyfooting around that. And Megyn Kelly, isn't she a lawyer? Kicking a car is never a felony. I don't care what state or county or federal government you're in. Kicking a car, bitch, is not a felony. And just the insanity that these are the January 6th insurrection party supporters that beat up cops that wanted to hang Mike Pence, that wanted to kill Nancy Pelosi, that took a shit in the Capitol and rubbed their feces all over the Capitol floor.

14:39I mean, just some weird, violent, messed up shit. And the ability to just, you know, like, oh, we're the party of peace and we're the party of the constitution. And they're just so intellectually dishonest. They're such liars. I mean, all day, every day, Americans need to understand that the right-wing MAGA party and right-wing MAGA Christians wake up every single day and lie. They lie so much that they start believing their lies. This is a party built on lies where they suck up to billionaires. The billionaires right now that are dismantling the United States of America on purpose, they want a top-down rule.

15:19These people have no sense of this is a great country. I need to feel appreciative. I want other people to live freely. They don't have those feelings. And then they have propagandists and psychopaths like Megyn Kelly, who go along and propagandize these ambitions of theirs, these diabolical ambitions. And a lot of these top tier companies that have received tax breaks since Trump 2.0 and the BBB and have received all of these deals with the administration, they have fired thousands of people this year. Thousands. Tax breaks don't grow the economy. It's such a lie. All of these fiscal conservative Republicans, the evidence is there and they know it on the inside.

16:08But their racism and their homophobia supersedes any sense of morality that they have. And it is a cancer in this country how these lies have been propagated and how the Democratic Party has not attacked harder at this narrative of calling these people out for as morally bankrupt as you can get, valuing money over human beings. And that is the ethos of the Republican Party. And just to show you this, just to exemplify this, here's my gal, Molly Jong Fast with a deadpan tweet. And this is a graph of the total funds provided for ICE by fiscal year. And Molly says, personally, I think it's too much money to give to Trump's private militia.

16:58And if you see 2017 to 2024, the graph, for those of you that are listening, incrementally, maybe just a little bit goes up. And it doesn't even reach 20 billion a year. In 2025, this last year, the funding for ICE is up over$80 billion. And the data behind this is all of the people that are making money off of this are Stephen Miller style psychopaths. So Stephen Miller has quotas that these ICE agents, you need to arrest this many people per day. Well, why would you have a quota like that? Wouldn't you just want to follow the law and say, if this person is here illegally and has committed crimes, then they are detained?

17:47That's not what this is about. They see these people as dollar signs. And so they want to move them through the private prison complex because all of these people surrounding Trump are making billions of dollars. And all of these companies are on the New York Stock Exchange. So a lot of Americans unwittingly are funding this. You have to follow the money with these people. The people that are taking your jobs are not immigrants. When you dismantle the immigrant population, the workforce, the labor force of this country, a country built on immigrants, our economy is going to flatline. So that's one issue.

18:32Number two, the more and more Trump provokes Europe by being obsequious to the needs of war criminal Vladimir Putin, Europe has a nuclear option where they can dump treasuries. And I think, you know, listen, people have been way too soft on this man for my taste, but it's abundantly clear that he is more aligned with the wishes of the failed state of Russia and the war crimes and the style of government, the dictatorship that Vladimir Putin has. And so for all of the fiscal conservatives that pray every night, you go to your church on Sunday and you think your white suburban life is just perfect, this will affect you too.

19:17And this is what's so fucked up about so many Americans. They will never give a shit about other human beings until their 401ks are upside down. And lastly, I want to leave you with this, the little five-year-old, Liam Ramos. So remember, billionaires are making money off of torturing and abusing people. Megyn Kelly supports it. She likes it. Fox News supports it. They like it. Viewers of Fox News love recreational cruelty and value money over human beings while weaponizing their faith against you and thinking they have the moral high ground when these are the worst, most depraved individuals in our society, period.

20:02Hillary Clinton didn't go far enough. They're beyond a basket of deplorables. So here's little Liam Ramos. Put this up, Kylie. Liam Conejo Ramos, the five-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week, was shipped off to Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health. His school superintendent told me today, leave that up there. I want you to look at this little face. And he has a little hoodie on with little ears on it and the little tassels. And you can tell he's trying to hold in the tears. He is trying to hold in the tears. And there is a group of tens of millions of Americans that see this and all they see is a brown skinned kid.

20:46The people who claim to love Jesus the most, like Moses Mike Grindr Johnson, the people who weaponize their faith in the most diabolical nature imaginable. They see this and they feel nothing. And so when you see the video of Alex Preddy kicking an SUV, that is a man using his privilege to stand up for little kids like that. And I don't expect the Megyn Kellys and the Fox News crowd and the megachurch grifters to understand that. But I understand where his rage comes from. because what you're seeing is injustice and inhumanity and people who feel for other human beings with conviction and utter transparency will stand up.

21:30And I want to say this to you, we will not be scared to go to another no Kings rally. We will never obey in advance. We will lock hands with everyone on the front lines of every single protest. I am not scared of these people, I'm scared of their end result. And I will fight with every fiber in me, every molecule of DNA for this country and for our children to have a place. And if something happens to us, I want my kids and other Americans to know that I stood for something, that I valued humanity and our population, whether they're legal or illegal. I care about the treatment of human beings because I was raised that way in this country.

22:14And we have overlooked the abuse in the police state that our African-American brothers and sisters have lived in for far too long. And it's our time to stand up without fear, without reservation, without hesitation and protest peacefully. These psychopaths that want to take over the country and demonize other human beings, because we cannot and we mustn't stand for it. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with probably some more fucked up news.

The White House has descended into total chaos as they rush to push blame on to each other in the wake of Trump's Gestapo killings.
