Donald Trump has a big problem, and that problem is that public sentiment has totally shifted on his administration, on ice, and on what they are doing in Minneapolis. I mean, I feel like you can only lie so much until people, one, stop believing you and two, start to think that you think they're stupid. And I guess we draw the line at seeing someone get publicly executed who is unarmed. on American streets. I guess that's where we draw the line on this stuff. So what I'm going to show you, though, is that the straight white male influencers turning on Trump, and this to me was very hopeful. This is very hopeful. I'm going to try and not get emotional. But Tim Walls activated the National Guard. You can see them here. They're de-escalating. They have donuts, coffee and hot chocolate that they're handing to anti-ice protesters.

It's just such a difference between them and ice. First off, they're smiling. They're smiling. They're smiling. and they are showing their face because they're not ashamed of what they're doing. And I also want to say the reason why they're wearing these green vests, these neon vests, is because they want protesters to know that they're the National Guard that they're not ICE. Here's a few more clips of this. One National Guard person has asked why they're out there. What do you guys give it out?

We're with the Minnesota National Guard? Yeah, we are. Yes, we are. Why was this important for you guys to do today? This is a demonstration of safety and security. We're here to help. Awesome, thank you. Okay, and then there's one more here. These ones look the best.

Ooh, cute. I'm, I've got first aid over there. Okay. So the Canberra's first aid man. Okay, all right. So I've got like BVMs, some occlusive dressings, like, I don't know, some stuff. Okay.

You guys need anything like that. You want to cause some more? I've got to. Okay. Sorry, I'm like crying. But I guess it's just nice to see people want to help. So I don't know about you, but I felt very, very worn down from everything that happened over the weekend. and this to me is a little bit of hope.

This to me, I know America's never been perfect, but the stuff happening this past year has just been totally alien from what I've been told America wanted to be and what I've been told who we are, or who we were. So this to me is like a little bit of just like, oh, right, right. That's like who we used to be. Like we used to like obviously America's a complicated country with a complicated history.

And it's very imperfect. But there was always this idea that we at least tried. We tried to do the good thing. And it's nice to see people out here trying to make things better rather than trying to make it worse. And I guess like I'm just so desperate. for someone to be responsible, nice, and want things to be better than I'm just like, just like, well, finally, finally. There's a little bit of hope.

Okay, was not expecting to cry. All right. Asman Gold said this, and if you don't know who Asman Gold is, he is probably one of the most popular. I don't know. I guess he's right wing, one of the most popular right wing streamers on Twitch. And even he can't defend what we all saw. If you have a police department that's not accountable or a law enforcement agency that's not accountable, that basically is the Gestapo. That is the secret police. That is the SS.

I just thought about this literally right now is like, I know we all wanted to find Jonathan Ross when, during the aftermath of the killing of Renee Good. I want to know who, I mean, I think partly lost in all this is who the fuck are these people? Who are these people? Where are they still on the streets? Are they behind a desk? Have they been fired? Are they suspended?

Who are they? Where are they? These are murderers. Where are they? Why are they not detained? You know, I want to find out there are a dead. entities. So that's something that I think that's what this week's all about is I want to find out who these people are. And I want to make sure everyone knows who they are. And I want those people

to go on trial. Now also we have here that at the Target Center, a crowd observed a moment of silent for Alex Preti and then chance of fuck ice came up after. We extend our love, support, and heartfelt sympathies to Alex's family. friend in our community during this difficult time. Please join us in honoring the life and memory of Alex Pretty with a moment of silence. Fuck ice. Here's someone who doesn't, to me, read very liberal-coded, being very upset about ice. Yeah, fucking political.

That was murder. An ICU nurse who worked at the VA who was legally carrying a firearm that was fucking holstered while he was filming. who is now being painted as a domestic terrorist because he took a gun to a protest. But all these two-A motherfuckers a couple years back were screaming Kyle Rittenhouse's name from the goddamn rooftops. Oh, that was different. Yeah, you're right. He had a fucking rifle strapped to his chest. The man who was shot and murdered by ICE was concealed carrying a firearm that he was legally allowed to fucking have. I am now seeing reports that it's even possible that they disarmed him by taking his weapon out of his holster that was at his sixth accolster.

that was at his 6 o'clock, and then they magdumped the fucking guy. So if you are legally carrying a firearm, and they take that off of your person, and then utilize that as a justification to put rounds in your fucking back while you were laying face down on the pavement, that it was never about following the law. The Second Amendment doesn't matter anymore, and you're fucked. So where is all the don't tread on me two-way gun-toting, boot-licking fuck tarts? Or is it just when it's not on your fucking side?

So I'm done playing the middle ground. I'm done making first aid videos that just might help. That can be seen by both sides. So fucking. Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. We are not mad enough. We are not mad enough.

I'm gonna leave you with that. Thanks for watching. I feel hope. I feel anger. I feel hope. I think things are changing. Good.
