Starting point is 00:00:04 fingers full of women. Goats milk latte drinking. Here you go again. Please quiet. Somebody's beachblind, bad-built, butch body. A what now? And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Yeah! Where about that I'm having a business? That's a banana republic. Without the banana. Who am I? Why am I here? Are you a racist? He's a jackass.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Pokemon go to the polls. They know one thing. I hate rats. Well, I'm not a crumb. I grew up castrating hogs. Four glorious years, I guess. Vote to confirm a ham sandwich. Ooh, don't do it.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Still like beer. 20 foot impressive seahorse. He's riding. Wrecked. Damn. Ha! What does the icon again? I can't.
Starting point is 00:00:52 You can't. Go up in USO. I have the ability to turn people on. Sashing down there and vote for this amendment. Officially weird. For one and you if the next are the same. YouTube. Hello, welcome to the Keith Edwards Show live. We are here. It is Tuesday. I hope you're having a great start to the week. I am excited to be here with you today. I am so excited that we have on the show in just a few minutes. We have Representative Robert Garcia, who is making news as we speak. This just came out. I'm actually going to show this right now. He just came out with this.
Starting point is 00:01:36 news that I think is just, I can't wait to ask him about this. Or he says this. He said that Top House Dems are trying to send delegation to El Salvador. So we're going to be asking him about that, which I think is so important because that's what the whole show is about today, folks. The whole show is about this un-American, unconstitutional, and frankly, disturbing policy from the Trump administration. So I'm excited to talk to him about that. I'm glad he's here.
Starting point is 00:02:16 We're going to actually have someone to make a difference with what's happening in the country. And I just want to say I was in Philly over the weekend, visiting my mom, and her and I got to play some bingo. I don't know if you all have ever played this type of bingo before. I'm actually going to share this video with you because I took a video of the bingo hall and this was like so intense. All right, let's cut the music. I want to make sure people can hear this. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:49 12. 54, 59. Hold on. 32. Dingo. 33. So, like, do you hear that? 12.
Starting point is 00:03:02 54, 59, 67. 32. I know. It was like, that was like intense bingo. I was like trying so hard to keep up. So I don't, anyone that plays bingo out there, I have total respect for you. And thank you to the folks over at the bingo in North Philly for giving us a great time. All right, let's get into this, let's just get into this main story.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And before we get into that, I just want to say, let's see here. Let's see. It won't be a great start to any week with these traders running our country. They have to go any way possible. I agree. And then someone else says here, Early Love, 2020, 3 says, is due process dead, bottom line, question for America right now. Due process is on life support.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Early Love, 2023. Due process is on life support. And I've said it before. I'm going to say it right now. It's so hypocritical to me that Donald Trump used due process to avoid accountability. And now he's not giving people, people who have literally nothing. He's not affording them the same thing that he was afforded. It's just mind-boggling to me. Oh, Karen says, I play at bingo every Sunday. Karen, I have total respect to you. Bingo is a
Starting point is 00:04:26 hard sport. It has a hard sport. I did win. I forgot to mention I did win one bingo. And it was actually during one of those really crazy ones where they go very fast. Okay. So, all right, let's go to this main story here. Where is my, okay, here it is. Okay. So JVL talks about, I don't know if you know who JVL is. He is one of the founders of the bulwark. And he talks about how this is a seminal moment for the Democrats. They had, like, the Republicans had Lake and Riley, and they kind of used her as a symbol of of, of, of the policies they wanted to enact and also what they considered to be the problem with immigration. Now, of course, they like, it, like, they just, it, it was disgusting what they
Starting point is 00:05:29 did using this one woman's pain to hurt thousands, tens of thousands of people who are coming here for asylum. But JBL makes the argument here that this is, this is the Democrats rallying cry now. This is the symbol of what it means to be immigrant in Trump's America. And we have to use it as a because he represents everything wrong, everything unconstitutional, and everything immoral about the Trump administration. And JVL writes here, Trump is in an impossible situation. He cannot allow Abrago Garcia to come home because, A, it would be capitulation to the Supreme Court, and B, Abrago Garcia cannot be allowed to testify about what he saw an experience at Seacot because I'm sure what Mr. Garcia is seeing there are human rights abuses. And it's such a good point that if he were to come home and I pray to God he does, the stories he's going to tell would be, would just open up. We just open up what is really happening there. And so I'm grateful
Starting point is 00:06:59 that Robert Garcia is going to be joining us in just a few moments to talk about this. And I think JVL went on to say here that Chris Murphy is actually, he actually understands this. He said this yesterday on Blue Sky. He says, this is a watershed moment as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending he won this Supreme Court to. decision nine to zero when he in fact lost it nine to zero and as chris movie says if we normalize this there's no end he can lock up or remove anyone he will no longer we will no longer exist in a democracy and that's the first clip i want to go to is that and i'm sure you've seen this viral clip it's viral
Starting point is 00:07:51 because it was not intended to be heard by anyone this was an off-the-cuff remark that was on a hot mic that a lives shooting caught before they were supposed to be covering this meeting. And so here is Donald Trump saying that he wants to deport Americans, what he calls homegrown. The people wanted to change over.
Starting point is 00:08:16 The homes are next. The homegrown's built. You got to build about five more places. Yeah. That's fair. All right. It's not big enough. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Come on. Yeah. And that's, really disturbing, like, the fact that they're laughing about this, they're laughing about it, that they want to deport Americans? Danita Hamilton says, Trump is a sadistic SOB. Yeah, and that's being nice, Danita. That's being nice.
Starting point is 00:09:04 It's disgusting. It's disgusting. And it's, I just can't say it enough. It is so un-American. It's so, the whole reason we, We started this goddamn country. This is in the Declaration of Independence, where the founding father said that they were sick of not having trial by jury, that they were not being afforded due process.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And now we have a man who wants to make himself king going against the very thing this country was founded on. Angel says, isn't Trump another homegrown criminal? it's a good point he is he is a homegrown criminal and this is what happens when you put someone into office after they tried to overthrow the government but uh you know i want to i want to really quickly because this is a really big day and i want to get quickly to our um our guests here who is waiting on the live rep robert garcia who um as i said just made news moments ago where he in axi is saying that they are going to be leading a delegation
Starting point is 00:10:20 or trying to create a delegation to send to El Salvador. So Rep Robert Gassia, very grateful that you're here. Hey, how are you? Good. How are you doing? Good. Thank you so much for being here today. I know there's a lot going on. And I just really want to get into all of it.
Starting point is 00:10:45 So what is this delegation? And how did this come about? Yeah, I mean, look, first I think we should be very clear about what's actually happening right now. We're in a constitutional crisis. The president of the United States is openly defined Supreme Court in a 9-0 decision, a unanimous Supreme Court decision with people like Clarence Thomas actually agreeing with the rest of the justices. They've said that the need, the U.S. used to work with El Salvador and make the return immediately. as we know, Donald Trump now, of course,
Starting point is 00:11:21 just meeting with Salvadorian president, is now saying and twisting what the justices actually said and saying the opposite, that the Supreme Court supports their decision. That is completely outrageous and insane. The president cannot be sending people that are here legally. He is here legally to a foreign prison and country without any support and against a Supreme Court mandate.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And I'm telling you, U.S. citizens are next if we allow this to continue. And so obviously, Maxwell Frost and I, besides obviously being good colleagues and partners in Congress, we sit on the Oversight Committee together. And we've been discussing that we need to put together folks to get down there. Now, we know that Senator Chris Van Hollen is going down there on behalf of the Senate, but House members also need to be in this fight. I'm an immigrant. We need to be down there. And so we're working with the Oversight Committee to approve a delegation. if they don't approve an official delegation.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I know that Max and I are committed to going down there regardless. So you have to rely on the Republican-led Oversight Committee to approve this. That's right. And the Senate has, they are able as senators to go down there. But in the House, rules are that only the majority can organize and approve these congressional trips. And so we're dependent on Republicans for us to be able to go down there, which is crazy. We're duly elected members of Congress. We should be allowed to go.
Starting point is 00:12:45 down and go to this prison or at a minimum ask questions at our at our embassy and so what that's what we're trying to do right now and whether we get approved from the firm or not we're going to move forward well i'm so grateful you're doing it i do want to i i have a question about and i and i i guess like what the trump camp what the tramp the administration has been saying is even though he doesn't have a criminal record their talking point is well he entered here illegally they entered illegally. So they already are criminals. What is the Democratic answer to that point? There are 11 million people in this country approximately that have some different level of status, that they're not U.S. citizens. They might be a temporary resident. If you're a temporary
Starting point is 00:13:32 resident or a legal resident in the United States, you are legally here in the United States. We have given you the paperwork, the permission to work here, to be on a student visa. Perhaps it's because you're on your way to becoming a citizen. Maybe you're a year, maybe you've been applying for citizenship waiting in line like Republicans like to say for 10 years, 20 years, and you're a year away. You may not be a citizen, but you are here legally. And that's the difference. And so what Republicans are now saying is that they somehow can deport anyone, even if they're not a U.S. citizen. I mean, that isn't, that is crazy. I'll take myself. I, I became a U.S. citizen at 23. I would hear between the ages of four to 23,
Starting point is 00:14:15 I was here as whether it was undocumented or I became a temporary legal resident before I became a citizen. That means that anyone like with my status that was going to college was here legally could be deported. That is crazy in the United States. We have to be more aggressive in pushing back.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Danita Hamilton says, I feel so angry and pissed. This is so wrong. And I think that's a lot of feelings of Americans right now. I know that you're trying to send this delegation. And I feel like, you know, I think that Democrats are just coming across is very impotent. I'm glad that you're doing something. But I want to show you this clip of Chuck Schumer a month ago talking about what would happen if a constitutional crisis occurred.
Starting point is 00:15:02 If it the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory, we will run Democrats, will fight it in every single way? So he basically was saying that there's, if there is a constitutional crisis, Democrats are going to fight it in every single way. The only thing Chuck Schumer has done has released a statement. I mean, look, I can't, I can't obviously disagree with Chuck Schumer more.
Starting point is 00:15:31 One, he should have never allowed so many of Trump's nominees get votes from Democrats. He never should have been doing that deal. And he should be fighting harder. And so this moment, I don't, what really frustrates me is someone that's been really trying to be really vocal and aggressive here. In fact, I got, you know, I've been so vocal and aggressive that I have Donald Trump's Justice Department, like, investigating me for calling Elon Musk a Dick, which is crazy. Good. Congratulations. And so I think that right now, I think members of Congress need to understand that no one else is coming to save us.
Starting point is 00:16:08 This is our job. If you're not willing of a member of Congress right now, do whatever it takes, knowing what the risks are, then this is not your moment. Like, we need folks in Congress right now who are willing to stand up and fight and know that there are going to be, there could be consequences to that because literally our democracy is being taken from us day by day. I can't express to everyone that's watching right now that what happened yesterday and by Trump defying the Supreme Court is he is creating a new precedent in this country. that has not existed in the past.
Starting point is 00:16:44 It's one thing to stack a court with the judges that you want and get decisions that we may not agree with that we think are wrong, but they pass as a majority. It's another for a majority to take a position and then the doubt of the president of the U.S. to say absolutely not. That hasn't happened before, and we've got to stop it. Payday says it worries me because everything this administration says is a lie,
Starting point is 00:17:08 and they have said he is alive and well, Well, if that was a lie, where do you think this guy is and how is you doing? Well, I mean, look, everything we know is obviously, you know, he's from them. Like, it's from the administration. That's like they're the only source of information, right? He's in the prison. They're saying that he's safe. They're saying that he's, you know, isolated.
Starting point is 00:17:29 We just don't know. But he was here legally. He may not have been a U.S. citizen. He was granted the ability to be here legally. We just saw, I think, just yesterday, someone that was on their way to get their citizenship. papers in Vermont, another case where they got apprehended by Homeland Security and ICE on the way to their U.S. citizenship test for their final phase of getting citizenship. This is crazy stuff. This is not normal stuff. And look, we have to be able to talk about the economy, about fighting the
Starting point is 00:18:00 billionaires, about Elon Musk. We also have got to be talking about the dismantling of our democracy and the rule of law. This is a criminal president. and a president who is not following the law. And I'm telling you right now, he's starting by deporting folks that are here legally residents. U.S. citizens that he does not like are next. And so we have to be very clear about what the dangers are of the actual moment. But then how do we, and maybe there is nothing we can do besides going to the street. And I hate that if that's the answer.
Starting point is 00:18:35 But like what is there we can do about this? So I mean, there's a lot. I mean, one is those. that the public has elected to leadership. The United States Congress has to have the courage to do and do extraordinary things like go to fucking El Salvador and go to the prison, regardless of who lets you go or not, and demand answers. And that's, I think, the type of actions that we need to do. We need to be more disruptive. We've been playing the respectability politics because we're all nice, you know, nice folks that do the right thing, which I appreciate. We are,
Starting point is 00:19:11 but the Republicans aren't playing that game. And so if we allow Republicans to not be challenged and playing their steam role, do whatever the hell they want, don't follow the laws, be unethical. And we just don't match that energy, then I think that I don't want to be a member of the United States Congress who lose our democracy.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I hope that people, when they wake up in the morning, don't want to be sitting member of Congress as we're standing by and our democracy is being washed away right in front of us. And I think the public need to be out in the streets like they've been out in the streets and continuing to fight, protesting, pushing back, going to town halls. And then we've got to flip the House and Democrats got to get the majority in 2026. I mean, that's what we have in front of us at the moment. I mean, I think, and I've said this before, one of the, I know it was funny when Alie Stefaniq was kind of was no longer becoming UN ambassador and she kind of did all that sucking up for nothing.
Starting point is 00:20:06 but I thought one of the hopeful things about that was that it was Trump and the Republicans in meeting that they still have to win elections. So though they are coloring very largely outside of the lines, they still have to operate within the democracy. And so I do want to impose on people, and I'm so glad you said this, that this because it feels scary and hopeless does not mean there is not hope and does not mean that we cannot win and does not mean that we can't turn the tide on this and we can get a majority of Americans on our side and voting for not only democracy, but voting for protecting the most vulnerable
Starting point is 00:20:47 among us. But elections are still going to matter. I mean, 100%. And I think what's really important is that we remember, you know, we won obviously that big judicial race in Wisconsin. We came beyond what anyone would thought we would do in those two Florida special elections. I mean, We overperformed in both of those seats, beat more than 10 points, 15 points in those seats. And we're winning like state Senate seats that we shouldn't be winning in states like Pennsylvania. And so we are making some really good progress. I think we could have won that Seponic seat, had that been open. And now in 2026, we've got to run the table in some of these close seats.
Starting point is 00:21:29 We've got to beat in California, you know, Young Kim and David Valadeo and Ken Calvert and Quantus Comani and Air. We've got to beat all these guys in Iowa and across the country. We've got to take these candidates on Gabe Evans in Colorado. Like we can beat all of these members because they're unwilling to actually stand up for democracy and oppose Donald Trump. And so I think people are getting pissed off enough where I hope that they understand how important it is. Well, over it says Robert Garcia is a beast as strong at speaking out as Jasmine Crockett, which trust me. That is a high compliment. And I have to agree.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Jasmine's my last. Yeah. Should we came in? Oh, yeah. I mean, we're just both freshmen this last term. So we're just entering our second term. And she's amazing and very fearless. Well, you are as well.
Starting point is 00:22:26 And I'm so, I don't know what's going on with the Senate. I don't know what's going on the Senate. They seem to just be pussyfooting. I don't get it. But I'm glad it seems like the members of the House, understand the severity of the situation we're in. And I'm so grateful. I mean, thank God you are in Congress right now because we need actual fighters willing
Starting point is 00:22:46 to speak up and put essentially your body on the line and say, hey, I'm going to send myself there and make sure that this guy is safe and that we get him home. Absolutely. Now, that's the key, man. We've got to keep fighting. And it should be a very interesting couple of weeks. So we'll see what happens. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Well, I appreciate you for coming on. I hope you'll come on again. It's been a really eye-opening interview. And again, thank you for all of your work. Yep, anytime. Thanks, Keith. All right, bye, thanks. All right, chat.
Starting point is 00:23:18 How did you feel about that? Robert Garcia is, thank God, someone is fighting for us. Who said here, wishing you for success. Let's get some blue hearts in the chat for rep Robert Garcia, actually showing up, showing out, and showing what leadership looks like, quite frankly, what leadership looks like during a time of crisis. This is what we need. We don't need statements.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I'm sorry, we don't need statements. We know how bad this is. I can tell you how bad this is. We know how bad this is. What we need are fighters who are in office and willing to do the work to not only inspire the rest of us. Americans to do their own work, but also just to show that we are paying attention. I'm sorry, but statements do not cut it.
Starting point is 00:24:16 All right, we're going to go to tomato time. Tomato time. We have a series here where we go through a clip that we absolutely hate, and we ask that you smash the tomato emoji, throw a tomato. at these Republicans who are lying and acting out and being offensive. Because we don't want to throw tomatoes at them in real life, but we do want to do it online. So this is tomato time.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Do you think they should be prosecuted? Absolutely. And hold tight on that one. Because it's coming. It's coming. I've been clear that since day one. You can, the sanctuary city can sit by and watch your communities get rabbits by illegal aliens. They can watch young women get raped and murdered.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Trump administration not to stand for that. ...there and demand his release. Well, good luck with that. Carolyn Levin is exactly right. Every time I read a story about this, it's Maryland father, Maryland father. They don't mention he's a member of MS-13 who is a dozenated terrorist group
Starting point is 00:25:44 on the most violent gangs in the world. They don't mention he's MS-13 member. They don't mention he's an Al-Savadoran citizen being held by the country of Al-Savador. El Salvador makes that decision. Now, the courts said, we've got to facilitate. We'll facilitate, but El Salvador has full authority on this. Again, a terrorist threat.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Now, if somehow he comes back and that happens, he's going to be detained and removed again. He's an MS-13 gang member based on our intelligence and El Salvador's intelligence. He will be detained and he will be deported. What's the sense of bringing someone back to simply go and face deportation again? He's a public safety threat. He's a gang member, and he's a designated terrorist. we should not be bringing any of those people back to the United States. That's my opinion.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Oh, fuck them. I also, producer Hussein while we're watching Tomato Time did point out to me that it seems like every member of Congress comes on and says fuck, which I approve. I approve. This is not a family show. This is a show where we swear. This is a show for adults. So I love that. And I'm sorry, I don't swear a lot, but I swear.
Starting point is 00:26:57 And I think it's okay for our representatives to represent us, even in the language we use, because I say fuck a lot. But I can't stand that guy, that guy. So not Garcia, but the person we just watched on Tomato Time. All right. So we did this last week. We're doing it again. I don't have the hat in front of me.
Starting point is 00:27:19 But we are going to do a pop quiz. We are going to do a pop quiz. Let's see that beautiful title card. Pop quiz. We have to add, we have to add some. Oh, that's right. We have music. Pop quiz.
Starting point is 00:27:35 All right. So we're going to ask you a question. And what we're going to ask you to do is answer the question. And of those who get it right, we're going to send you a democracy hat. We are going to send one lucky person who gets her right, a democracy hat. Okay. And so let's get to the question. All right.
Starting point is 00:27:58 How many times has the aliens' enemy act been invoked? A, once, C, or B, twice, C, three times, D, four times. No cheating. Don't cheat. Don't you Google this. Don't you Google this? All right. How many times has the aliens' enemy act been invoked? A, once, B, twice, C, three times, D, four times.
Starting point is 00:28:26 We're just going to let everyone get their answers in. We're going to let everyone get their answers in. I should have done this at the top of the show, but I forgot. So now we're doing the end. But so we're going to let everyone get their answers in. I have to tell you, I was shocked. Not by the answer, not by like the answer of this, but I was shocked around the supporting, what would you even call this who's saying?
Starting point is 00:28:54 They're supporting information around this. supporting the facts around the circumstances around why these have been, why it has been invoked. Okay, so we're going to give you about 15 more seconds to get your answer in. A, once, B, twice, C, three times, D, four times. All right, let us, yes, background information. Let us put, all right, let's get that music going again. We're working on it. Let's restart this song more time.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Perfect. Okay. All right. And here's the answer. How many times has the aliens enemy act been invoked? A. Once. B.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times. 16 of you. Or not 16 of you. Let me see how many of you have gotten this right.
Starting point is 00:29:57 There's been a few of you. 15 of you have gotten this right. 15 of you have gotten this right. And the answer is. C. Or is it C? No. The answer is D four times. D four times.
Starting point is 00:30:13 D four times. And the winner of the Keith Edward show, Pop Quiz, and who is going to be sent a democracy hat for free is Melissa. Congrats, girl. You have won a democracy hat. Now, what we need you to do is you can either. If you have Instagram, is Melissa here? Melissa, I think you're still here, right? So if Melissa is here, please just like spam.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Yeah, I won. Yay, Melissa. Oh, yeah, there she is. All right, Melissa. So what I need you to do, if you have Instagram, you can DM me on Instagram, and I will connect you with producer Hussein. Or you can also text the voicemail number.
Starting point is 00:30:58 What is the voicemail number? The voicemail number is 202-8104379. you can text us with your email address. Either one works. So that is how you're going to get in contact with me so that we can guarantee that you went another. Yeah, I think those are the two ways. So let us know how you're going to get in touch.
Starting point is 00:31:22 And we will be sending you a democracy hat. Where is Melissa, Melissa, Melissa. All right. So I just need to know, Melissa, if you understand that, been great. So just either DM me on Instagram. My name is Keith Edwards. Or you can, again, text that number. You can text the voice bill number.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Okay? Okay. But congratulations, Melissa. Great. Melissa says, thank you. Okay, good. Congratulations. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Now, the surrounding, what was so surrounding, or the background information around that, let's just throw that up one more time. because the Aliens Enemy Act has only been invoked. Hussein, do you want to come up real fast and just say real, like what? Because I think you knew, right? Hello, hello. One second.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Let me make sure I don't cause all this problem. Yes, the Aliens Enemy Act has been invoked four times. The first time was in the war of 1812. We had a moment in World War I where we used it for some of the people that we were fighting in that war. and of course, most notably, people know World War II, where we used it to do internment for Japanese Americans. And now, after three wars, we've decided to invoke it a fourth time
Starting point is 00:32:51 during the Trump administration. And there's no war. We've declared that there is a war with a gang from Venezuela or a gang in El Salvador. I don't understand what it is, but we have declared that there is a war, even though usually... It's a world war and more world war. to a gang from El Salvador.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Yeah, so I was shocked by that. Everyone's saying hi to Hussein in the chat. Hussein's loving that. He says hi. Hi, everybody. Obviously, there is. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Thanks, Hussein. All right, and congratulations again. Melissa. Okay, now, let's go to the voicemails. And like I said, there is a call in number that is 202-0-4379. And so we get so many voicemails. We can't feature all of them, unfortunately. But please do call because I do hear them all, even if they don't make it to the show.
Starting point is 00:33:47 202-8104379. Are you pissed about Trump? Are you scared? Are you a Trump supporter? And you think I'm wrong. This is your opportunity to say something. So 202-8104379. Let's go to this voicemail.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Hi. My name is Ken. People shouldn't take lightly what happens. that enemy aliens act once installed by the government. They could, we had families were taken by the military and disappeared to Heart Mountain. Everything taken from them. There's rights as a citizen disappear. I don't, there was experts sometimes all the say they didn't experience that in this country.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Then 80 years since the end of World War II, the flight never ended. And they hate in this country. People just need to really look into what reads what that. access and what they've done with it in the past and your rights as American citizens disappear you guys take care goodbye hi yeah i mean this really is the theme of the show that uh what we are witnessing right now is the erosion of our rights of um our constitutional protections of the constitution itself and i guess the what i want to still and the hope with you on this is that He's right. This has been invoked before. We've used it not in a very, not in a way that we're
Starting point is 00:35:13 proud of as a country, but we grew from it. I think each generation has its own trials and tribulations around fascist movements. This is the one that's come for us, but I guess the hope I have around that voicemail is that we have been here before we grew from it. Now, a whole few generations have passed since and we forgot the lessons we've learned. We've got to relearn them again. But I am here with you and we are, we are eyes wide open willing to fight for what is right. And it's going to take each and every one of us and like folks like you who are call in, who are watching this show, who are engaged in your community, who go to protest, who speak up, you go to town halls and you let your representatives know how you feel.
Starting point is 00:36:09 It takes each and every one of us to make a movement and to change the country for the better. And we can change it just because it's bad right now doesn't mean it can't be better. And so I want to instill in each and every one of you that you can make the America that you want, the America that we used to be, a better version that we ever were before. It is in the seed of a better America is in each and every one of you. And let's plant that seed and let's water it and let's grow it. And we can, but it's going to take all of us just pounding the pavement and doing some hard work, but it's good work.
Starting point is 00:36:53 It's good work. And we're not going to make it great again, Jonathan. No, we're going to make it better. We're going to make America better than it ever was before. That's what we're going to do. Okay, and I think is that I have trouble sleeping because of what is happening. Karen, I don't blame you. I don't blame you.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I, there were, I've passed this point in my, I don't know, what are like the levels of grief? I think I've passed that level of grief where I was in denial. And I think I'm in acceptance and anger. I'm in acceptance and anger. Okay. And then I think, is that all we have for the day, Hussein? I think that's all we have for the day, right? Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:33 So that is the show for today. Thank you for joining me on Tuesday. I'm going to see you on Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern, where we will be doing another giveaway. We will talk about news of the day. And we may or may not have on a guest. We don't have anyone booked yet. And if we don't, then we're just going to hang out and we're going to talk about the news. And maybe we'll do a few more voice modes and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:37:55 But I'm really grateful that you all came on today. Thank you for being here. Thank you for fighting alongside me. And thank you for being courageous and standing up for what's right, because it's going to take each and every one of us doing that, like Robert Garcia is doing and our representative is doing. It's going to take each of one, every one of us doing in our own way to make America better. But we can make it better.
Starting point is 00:38:17 America is very sick right now, but we are the medicine. All right. I will see you soon. Thank you for being here. And I'll see you 7 p.m. on Friday. Bye-bye.
