So here's the thing. This is going to come for everyone. That's the point about authoritarianism. What we are seeing right now in this Supreme Court essentially saying, we will say the President and protecting the President's. Our perception of the President's power is more important than protecting people from the overreach, the abuse of power that violates their constitutional rights. And we'll watch it play out, watch people get harmed before we will say it has to stop, if they will even say it has to stop. The red line. If we don't have a red line with the Supreme Court, we have lost a major part of our balance of power. But I think it's so important to ground this in everyday experience. Because, yes, people who look Latino or who speak a language, Latin, like Spanish as a first language, are being racially profiled. We have many people in this country who are here lawfully who violated no laws and have certainly contributed nothing but good things to this country who are being harassed, pulled over. But what we have seen in D.C. and what we've seen in other cities, we've seen it in New York. It isn't only Latinos, it's any black people. I, my friend's son in Washington D.C. went to find his passport so he could simply go to work. And he was right to go find his passport as a young black man because he knew they were going to come for him. We have seen blockades in city streets for no reason, deciding who to pull over. And it is people who are, are Asian or Pacific Islander or Native American or black. It is racially profiling, but it is coming for everyone. And the point here about the military is going to become much more crucial because as we've seen in other countries that have faced this kind of authoritarianism, it is when the military says we won't do it anymore. And we may come to that reckoning very soon in this country where our own military says we won't do it anymore. The other thing that we have to remember, and we have veterans who have been calling this out for a while and saying that the military has to take more action even before this administration came into power, is we have a lot of military who are deeply concerned and troubled and don't want to do this. But there is by some estimates 11% of military that are white supremacists or other white extremists in the military. And so unless we have leaders come out and say no, we will have a bigger problem.

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
