Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Our fascist president of the United States of America is unleashing a criminal probe on the Fed because he doesn't like his very own appointee from Trump 1.0. He is meddling in the midterm elections already. But most importantly, he has a Gestapo, masked agents who are harassing the citizens of Minneapolis. You cannot go to Target without ICE being there, gas stations. People are getting their faces blown off while then the administration goes out and tells everybody that the murder victims are terrorists. There's so much footage of so many nefarious things that Trump's Gestapo is doing. And here's one that I want to show you all that I found incredibly disturbing.
0:54Here's an ICE agent caught on a cell phone recording that falls on the ICE and then takes a female detainee into a porta potty. Play the clip.
1:09so for those of you listening we have just a uh ice monitor you see a person in cuffs a female detainee and then the ice agent slips and falls on the ice okay he the female detainee is going into the porta potty. He rushes in behind her and closes the door. And we already have so many reports of non-ICE agents wearing masks and abducting and sexually assaulting women. And the problem with the Trump administration is they're like sharks. And as soon as there's chum in the water, they circle, they're salivating, they want more and more. And the same thing with Donald Trump. He saw the capture of Maduro.
2:00Now his administration is drawing up war plans to attack Greenland. All of the while, his administration is violating the law because they have passed a law that the Epstein files must be released. They've released like 1 % of them. So all of this wag the dog, full increase of fascism, full increase of him wanting the United States to be a military state is in full effect. These videos are disturbing to watch, but I think it's very important that we watch them so that we can stay united and form a proper resistance. The next video is of ICE thugs smashing car windows and assaulting passengers while neighbors are screaming at them.
2:44Again, this is in Minneapolis. They're not in Texas. They're not in Florida where they would have complete state cooperation with those governments, where there are a lot more of an immigrant population. They are targeting and terrorizing blue states. Play the clip.
3:03All right, for those of you listening, it is a red Toyota car. Ice is banging and smashing, breaking the windows, physically pulling out the people inside the car, handcuffing them, of course. the protesters watching are screaming in horror at what is happening the ICE agents are masked and the neighbors are filming and these ICE agents are just unhinged sociopaths terrorizing the town of Minneapolis and I think it's really important for all of us to pause here the purpose of this I believe is not deportations. The purpose of this is to terrorize the electorate. This strong man in his fascist regime is trying to flex the muscle.
3:57His deportation numbers are incredibly low. If he was really trying to crack down on illegal immigration, the majority of this work would not be up by Canada. It wouldn't be up in these northern states. It would be down on the U.S.-Mexico border. There's hardly any ICE presence, if any, in Texas, none in Florida. We all know that both of those governors would be frothing at the mouth to help the Trump regime do raids of the immigrant population. But that's not what this is about. They are telling the voters that this is about tribalism. This is about these immigrants coming to take your jobs. They're hyper-focused on Somalis in Minnesota.
4:41And all of this started, by the way, in Minnesota with a right-wing influencer lying about Somali childcare. It was a total fraud. And that's all it takes for the United States of America right now. Lies and propaganda. And now they are terrorizing an entire population in Minnesota. And we all saw with horror the murder of Renee Good. While after that, the vice president, Kristi Noem, the president himself, Tom Homan, and others go on national television and lie about the circumstances surrounding the cold-blooded execution of a United States citizen. The next video, we have ICE agents now. After this murder, where they shot a woman in the face, you would think that they would be cautious, maybe wind it back a little bit.
5:32No. The chums in the water, the sharks are circling, and these ice agents are emboldened. Kristi Noem announced they are sending hundreds more ice agents to Minneapolis. They're just getting started. Play the clip. Shame on you. Listen. Have y 'all not learned from the past couple of days? Have you not learned? Learned what? What's our lesson here? What do you want us to learn? Following federal agents. Give me my phone. Have you not learned from the last couple of days here? What he means is, have you not learned that you can't exercise your First Amendment right? The government will even say, the president, Kristi Noem, the vice president, that you cannot exercise your First Amendment right.
6:21And the inference there is he'll blow her face off. This is an unleashed Gestapo. and the parallels between what is happening in the United States right now with the vice president saying they are going to go door to door. Those parallels with the early days of Nazi Germany are spot on. Even the American institutions are using Nazi propaganda on their social media campaigns. And the fact that these guys are running around like ISIS terrorists with their masks on, that they cannot even show their faces, tells you everything you need to know. That that, in my opinion, is a confession. What we're doing is so horrible, we don't want our faces associated with it.
7:12Here's another video in Minneapolis. I could literally play these all day long for you guys. And just a shout out to all of the brave, First Amendment loving Americans in Minneapolis that are filming this. Now we know risking their lives because these ICE agents are so heavy handed and so broken and so jacked up on not having enough tea in their system that they're ready to shoot anybody. Kylie, play this clip.
7:45Okay, so we have ICE agents chasing a truck, and the citizens of Minneapolis are following these ICE agents. And they, of course, they're all in unmarked cars. They all have masks. And the citizens of Minneapolis end up following the truck on foot. and they are screaming, F you, get the F out of our state, leave us the F alone. The importance of me showing you this is this is something that intentionally, Kristi Noem and Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, they want ICE agents filming this. They want you to be terrorized by this. So to all of these brave people in Minnesota that are not terrorized, but yet instead filming the terror that ICE is unleashing on them, good on you.
8:38Because this is uniquely, uniquely un-American. The purpose of this is to terrorize you. They don't give a shit about deportations. If you live in Minneapolis right now and you go to Target, more than likely, you're going to see ICE agents tackling people to the ground. And to all of the MAGA voters out there that voted for this. I'm not like you. The 65%, the rest of us Americans, we're not like you. We don't enjoy watching people, whether they're Somali, whether they're Mexican, whether they're Latin American, whether they're Asian, whether they're Indian, whether they're black, whether they're women with their dog in the backseat of the car.
9:24We don't give a shit what they are. We consider them to be human beings. We don't enjoy that. Renee Good should be alive. That ICE agent has a history, a long history of being too aggressive. He's never been penalized. And there he is out there running point on this operation. And Renee Good's wife used her First Amendment right and talk some smack to him and said, go to lunch, big boy. And his ego is so fragile. And he is such so small of a man that he then executed Renee good with her dog in the backseat of the car with her wife watching. And after he executed her, he called her a fucking bitch.
10:12And then he ran to her car and saw the blood and would imagine the brains. And I'm sorry to be graphic, but it's important that we report exactly what he did. And he turns around, walks off and says, somebody needs to call 911. And then ICE refused to let a doctor go check her pulse because their point of all of these ICE raids is to terrorize you. They don't give a shit about immigration. If they did, their deportation numbers would be as high as Obama's, would be as high as Clinton's, would be as high as George Bush's, but they're not. The purpose of this is to terrorize, to create a military state so that they can stay in power indefinitely.
10:59That's the purpose of this. They're scapegoating immigrants. They're scapegoating gay people. They're scapegoating women. They're scapegoating Somalis because they know in their base, their base is so rabidly racist that they can get them on board with this. But the point of all of this is not deportations. It is full unleashed terror. And this is something we have to think about. The right wing for years, I mean, back from like the Rush Limbaugh days, the federal government can't be too big. They're going to terrorize the citizens. We need to have well-regulated militias to fight the federal government.
11:40Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, he was in on all of that. The reason he attacked the federal building in Oklahoma City is because he thought the federal government was too big and overreaching into the private lives of its citizens, as is the Branch Davidian cult in Waco. Well, who's been ringing this bell lately? It's the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Don't tread on me. Where are they? Where are all of these guys right now? Where are the don't tread on me people? Pop this up. Molly Ploufkins points out very brilliantly, has anyone else noticed that since ice raids began occurring on a large scale, many right-wing groups such as the Proud Boys and three percenters have nearly disappeared.
12:32It's almost as if they're the same people. And I think that right there should tell you everything you need to know about the MAGA movement. These people have no courage in their conviction. They just want to control others. These are people that are so broken on the inside, so angry on the inside. They are looking to control people as the solution to their pain, whether they control people in their little cults that they have that don't tread on me and we're going to get a bunch of machine guns and a bunch of grenades so that we can take on the federal government because they think that the federal government should be smaller, trimmer, more efficient.
13:15And then they just swing and join the federal government. This, every Republican out there that has voted, well, I believe in a small fiscally conservative government that is okay with all of this, the thing that they are telling you is that they care the most about racism and the most about power. These are not people that once you call them racist, say, how could you say that? I genuinely believe in equality for everyone. They just say, oh, of course, yeah, you call us a racist, you call us fascist. tone down the rhetoric, tone down the rhetoric, which brings me to my last point. And this horrific, horrific false equivalency in mainstream media as they try to cover the brutal execution that all of us saw with our own eyes that the world saw of Renee Good.
14:11Here is NBC News with one of the more disgusting false equivalencies I've seen. And in Trump's America, in the decline of the free press, the false equivalencies have been rampant. Play this clip. Let me ask you, you told ICE, quote, to get the F out of Minneapolis. We are now seeing major protests all across the country, as you well know. I know that you've seen them as well. Do you bear any responsibility as a local leader, Mayor Frey, to bring down the temperature right now? Of course I bear responsibility to bring down the temperature. That's part of my role as mayor. And by the way, protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful.
14:56We had, I don't know, 10 ,000 or so people that were protesting and marching yesterday. and virtually all of it was very peaceful expression of First Amendment rights. And, you know, to those that are offended, I'm sorry I offended their delicate ears. But as far as who inflamed the situation, you know, I dropped an F-bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here, not the F-bomb, which I'm sure we've all heard before. Okay. The way that she asked him, do you bear responsibility? And then she very passionately said to bring the temperature down. This is echoing the propaganda coming from this murderous regime.
15:44We, fascism can never take hold if the press doesn't go along with it. And what she just did there, that false equivalency is the biggest part of the problem that has led us to this moment. This didn't just all come out of a vacuum. This has been building and building and building, and it is an utter false equivalency. And I want you to think about it in terms like this. if the mayor of Berlin in the early days of the Gestapo, when they were going door to door, when they were starting to make these cities police states and Hitler was flexing his arm before the concentration camps, but he's seeing signs, this hypothetical mayor of Berlin.
16:34And you read about it later and you find out that the mayor of Berlin said to Hitler and the Gestapo, get the fuck out of Berlin. To me, that's going to age very well. That is going to age incredibly well because I'm going to realize that this mayor understood the depravity, the dehumanization that was already being allowed. And if they allow it that much, then they're going to allow infinite amounts of it. And so shame on NBC News for asking these false equivalency style questions for normalizing fascism, for normalizing murder, and saying that this mayor should respond in a way that, quote, brings the temperature down when Trump's fascist Nazi Gestapo and their little pink arm piece of shit foot soldier murdered a woman in cold blood who was unarmed, turning away from him with her dog in the back seat and her wife fighting for her fellow citizens of Minnesota to not be terrorized by these fucking Nazis.
17:49So corporate media and their complicity and their lack of conviction and their lack of transparency and the condescension that they believe the American public must, they treat the American public in such a condescending way. They believe that we're so stupid that we'll hear that and we'll think, oh yeah, 24 hours after this girl gets executed, a normal response to a normal person when they see cold-blooded murder might be, get the fuck out of here. And maybe everybody should speak more that way. So good on that mayor. That is the leader we need. And his statement will age incredibly well because I hate to say what I'm about to say, but I don't think we've seen anything yet.
18:41I think they are just getting started with terrorizing citizens of the United States. All right, that's all we have for this episode. Please subscribe to our channel, like this video, and we'll be back later with more news.
