We laugh because if we didn't, we'd cry. It's spot on. Unfortunately, when you're talking about the parody of the recruitment, who is joining ice, it is largely just the most depraved people in our country who are just seeking out violence. I'm sure you all have seen the frog guy or the unicorn or anyone else making a mockery of this administration. They should, they should make a mockery. I think it's a good strategy in response to this protest to show no like what is happening in Portland that's so scary. Like people are drinking matcha and everyone has bangs like that. That's the big deal. That's what we're worried about. I'm just not necessarily sure that resonates. But some like an ICE thug went up and pepper sprayed like the ventilation hole so that all the person was breathing in and was in their eyes and just everything was pepper spray for being in a fucking frog costume. These people are disgusting. They are looking for any opportunity to self actualize through violence targeted at minorities, women, people of color. The Supreme Court has now told Donald Trump's administration that racial profile away. It's not okay, of course, to look at someone's background and the systemic struggles that people of color have had to face in America when deciding who gets into college. But no, if you're brown, Kristi Nolan will bust you. That's, that's how America works now. But these ICE raids, they, they need to be mocked as idiotic as they are, as useless as they are and how much money that they waste. And I think it's kind of an under reported element of what's happening with ICE right now. The private army that Donald Trump is building, when we're talking about the National Guard being sent to Chicago, coming from Texas, I don't want to say civil war, but what do you call it when a Republican state is sending People who lean right to a democratic city to cause chaos. Axios reported this the other week. Donald Trump sees his invasion of Portland as an I win, you lose, right? If he shows up all of his thugs, as they already have, and nothing happens because nothing was happening, then they say, big win for us. We've, we've calmed the, the, the crazies in Portland. But if they go and they beat up women and people of color and anyone, anyone fights back, as I think probably you should, considering these people have busted into your community trying to rip families apart, of course no one's encouraging violence, but to protest, that is your right. And if you do, and if there's any, any pushback in any way, any small, little response, Donald Trump will send more troops and say that it is needed. But what I think needs to be talked about right now is who's actually creating that provocation. And it is a very targeted recruitment of some of the most depraved individuals in our country to join ice. I want to talk about it right here in this report that I think covers everything that needs to be said. Trump's private army Inside the push to recruit 10,000 immigration officers. There have been fears that are exacerbated right now by the message in the DHS's online recruitment effort. And as the DHS has celebrated its harsh treatment of immigrants, whether with the Department of Secretary Kristi Noem filming herself at an El Salvador prison with men jam packed into a cell, or the DHS posting a meme of alligator Alcatraz, recent DHS recruitment advertisements have used language like defend your culture, secure the golden age and want to deport illegals with your absolute boys. One online user posted, talking about the recruitment, showing an image of Uncle Sam, which said which way, American man? Which observers quickly pointed out was similar to the title of a 1978 white nationalist book that defended Hitler, the DHS said it was conveying that Uncle Sam was at a crossroads. Pondering which way America should go in its desperate race to staff up and meet the aggressive goal of 3,000 immigrant related arrests, a day set by Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff and the most disgusting bald man in America, Stephen Miller. The DHS is now advertising substantial incentives for for ICE recruits that includes a signing bonus of up to $50,000 and as much as $60,000 in student loan repayments. So while Donald Trump is making everything about your life more difficult, more upsetting, more uncomfortable and more fucking expensive, ICE is getting, what, 110k just probably dumped in a Tom Homan Style kava bag full of ones and twenties, like some cigarette buds, Like, I don't know what was in the bribe bag that Tom Homan got, but is this not embarrassing? And again, the racist memes, they're putting out, the racist recruitment posters, they are targeting specific individuals. It is former proud boys, former oath keepers. That is who Donald Trump wants. He wants his supporters to be baked in to his private militia. This is about politicizing the military as much as possible and normalizing the idea that of troops in the streets and troops that are supporting the president, that his directives are what override everything and has nothing to do with an oath or getting the job done. It is about Donald Trump. And if you can't recognize that, I don't know how you can't, because Joe Rogan can.
