Debbie Brockman, who was arrested, I think unlawfully by ICE for protesting. She's a WGNTV producer, has decided to hire a lawyer and is pursuing all legal options. I have for you. Jack Smith, who has come out swinging on Trump's unconstitutional and authoritarian actions. Eric Trump is an idiot, and he proves it very easily on Fox News. And I also have for you, Trump's Fed governor who got fact-checked three times. in one one and a half minute interview. It's incredible.

Let's start with Debbie Brockman. Debbie Brockman, who, if you don't know, this is like a very alarming scene that happened last week, went super viral. And she is a TV producer who was arrested by ICE. But before we get to that, if you could please hit like in this video, we are 14,000 as of this recording,

14,000 subscribers away from a million. So, and you could be one of the ones to help us reach that insane, goal. Now let's get to this. What's your name? What's your name? I got you. Yep. Debbie Browning? Brockman. Brockman. Sir, what's your name? In the back? What's your name? Say that one more time.

What's your name? What's your name? Can number? See? How's the name? Hey. Just another day in America. Well, we are now learning that this TV producer, Debbie Brockman, has hired legal counsel and is pursuing, quote, all legal options. Debbie Brockman, a WGN TV producer, violently arrested by ICE Friday morning in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago, has retained an attorney and intends to pursue all legal avenues

available. Brockman and her legal team adamantly deny allegations that she assaulted federal officers. I would love to see that proof during an immigration enforcement action. According to the release, they assert she was simply walking to the bus stop on her way to work She was attacked by Border Patrol agents. Quote, this incident should be alarming and horrifying to every single person in this country. If armed, masked federal agents are snatching U.S. citizens off the street as they walk to work and throwing them in unmarked vehicles, you can only imagine what these agents must be willing to do to our immigrant neighbors and people who dare to speak out against them.

That is Brockman's attorney. WGN, being as brave as we expect the news to be, said simply, quote, this employee is not a journalist, is what is not working at the time, and went on to say, we continue gathering facts related to this situation out of respect for her privacy. We have no further comment. Really brave quote from her employer, a news company. I was actually, when I read that, was beside myself. You couldn't at least say we stand by her and there's no, there was absolutely no world in which this sort of, this sort of aggressive action needed to be taken. It goes on to say from her attorney that Brockman feared for her life and says that

Ms. Brockman was taken to the ground, battered as we saw handcuffed, and her pants were pulled down, exposing her, but no one should be treated like that in this city or in this country or anywhere in this world, absolutely. I wish there were some sort of fund for her. I wish we could just raise money for her because I don't think she should, obviously, WGN is not going to pay for this lawyer, and I hope, I wish we could, I wish we could help her. So if anyone knows if there's a go fund me. Maybe I should set one up. I don't know. But I would love to just help ease the burden of this from her if we can. And I will be following the story and just want to say her, thank you so much for standing up for what's right. Now, Jack Smith came out swinging and he was saying the

difference between what he did versus the unlawful actions, his justice department, justice department. I hate calling that has taken. And the difference, and this is what matters is both cases involve classified documents and one was in Marilago which was a social club and also his home and the other one was in I think largely in Biden's home also I think in office that he worked at the difference is the facts the rule of law allows for different outcomes when the facts are different one of the major differences between the two cases is the obstructive conduct in the case that I investigated and that's important for a couple different reasons one reason is to prove

a illegal possession of classified documents, you need to show that you possess the documents or the defendant possessed the documents willfully. And that means he knew what he was doing was wrong and he knew he was possessing the documents. In my particular case, we had tons of evidence of willfulness. We had in the obstructive evidence publicly saying, these are my documents or things like that, and I can keep them, the evidence to not give the documents back when the government even tried to get them back before there was a criminal investigation. Those sort of things, and then after the investigation started, still refusing to give them back, and then tried to obstruct the investigation.

That helps prove willfulness. That sort of evidence didn't exist in the other case. And there are, I mean, I could probably keep you all here for a long time talking about the differences in terms of, you know, the numbers are not. I want to make sure I get this pretty close to right, but almost four. times as many documents that the person I was investigating compared to the other case. The sensitivity of the documents. I think special counsel Herr said that the documents that he most likely could bring a prosecution

on were over 15 years old and dealt exclusively with the conflict that had ended in Afghanistan. As we alleged in our indictment, the documents I was dealing with were much more sensitive and much more recent and we laid out the sort of subject areas, those sensitive. of subject areas in the indictment. So there are a number of differences between the case, and that is what the rule of law wants, is to have situations where different factual outcomes, different levels of proof can result in different outcomes.

Another difference is that I've never heard this man speak before. He just sat down and did it. I didn't even know what his voice sounds like. And everyone, Donald Trump works with it in their Justice Department. Justice, in quotes, is on TV all the time. talking about these cases instead of just letting the facts speak for themselves are all propagandists. Donald Trump, the worst of them. One thing Joe Biden never did was comment on the cases the Department of Justice had underway or the charges they were pursuing. And my hope is the fact that

Donald Trump had tweeted out that his instructions to Pam Bondi that was actually a DM that he meant to send, that this whole thing is going to just, whole thing is going to be dismissed. So we'll see. Eric Trump is an idiot. And here's how I know. Same thing. I mean, they dug so deep with, you know, the whole Russia hoax that Hillary found herself. Same thing with Jack Smith. He dug so deep that, you know, we found out that he was actually planting classified folders

in Mar-a-Lago. Jack Smith, this guy who spoke so eloquently and so calmly, was planting vanilla folders in Mar-a-Lago. I'd love to see that evidence. They don't have it. Doesn't exist. One idiot. And then, oh, yeah, this is really good.

I'm going to let this speak for itself, but these, all right, Donald Trump, has an innate talent of having zero shame and I don't really think he knows right from wrong. It helps him lie. A lot of the people who work for him have shame and they also know right from wrong, even though they're doing the wrong thing. They kind of know it. And this guy gave the game away by not being able to answer direct questions from a reporter. So we're supposed to get an inflation report today.

Didn't government shutdown? What do you think it would have shown? Oh, well, you know, that's above my high grade. How are you looking at alternative data sources? Like, how are you piecing together what's happening? You're going to have to make a decision at the end of October, whether the government's open or not. So I would love to have the data that we need to make the decision. We are fortunate that we only make monetary policy decisions outside of a crisis every six months.

And so I'm still hopeful that we'll have more data by the time we get to the point. Six weeks. Yeah, sorry, every six weeks. Sorry. Thank you. That would be crazy. Every, yeah. I'm hope every six weeks, yes.

So I'm hopeful that we have the data in hand by the time we get to the October FMC meeting. However, you know, there's a chance that we don't. And if we don't, then I would rely on what I said a moment ago, which is that policy should not be overly data dependent. It should be forecast dependent. That's not how the Fed operates, though. I mean, how many times do we hear Fed Share policy data dependent?

I mean, I think that you want to be data dependent if you don't, if you either you don't have a forecast or you don't believe in your forecast, right? or you don't you don't have but if you look at the forecasts of the fed in the dots they project their economic and inflationary outlooks they're mostly not right uh well um you know i think that that that is something that every every forecaster should hold them you know should should hold themselves to account for when they're right or wrong then i want to end with this because i actually think this is what it's about donald trump wants to seem like he is all-powerful that there is nothing we can hope for this is this is how it's going to be forever that's not the case

That's not the case. Imagine if MLK Jr. felt that way. Imagine if the suffragettes felt that way. Imagine if gay people felt that way before the gay rights movement. Of course this can all change. Of course it can. As this rep says here, change is possible. Donald Trump wants you to think it's not. At the end of the day, part of what Donald Trump and his administration are attempting to do is to create this perception that he has all the power and that ultimately sort of in some ways create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness. in the American public. We've got to resist the temptation on that front. He is electorally unpopular, in fact, the most unpopular president at this juncture in his presidency than any modern president in the history of our country. I believe we're going to have a Democratic governor in the state of Virginia and the state of New Jersey in just a few short

weeks when my colleagues, Mikey Cheryl and former colleague Abigail Spanberger, are elected chief executives of those respective states. So Democrats have got to continue to push, continue to fight back against the lawlessness and i certainly for one will continue to do so and thanks for watching if you like this video please hit like if you're not subscribed please consider subscribing and i'll see you next time bye
