This is freethinking through the fourth turning. My name is Sacha Stone. Oh, Hillary, Empathy, really? Please. An open letter to Hillary Clinton. Dear Hillary, imagined my shock when I saw you wrote an op ed in the Atlantic. Before I even read a line, I knew what the point of the article would be because I know you. For podcast listeners, a headline maga's War on Empathy. The crisis in Minneapolis reveals a deep moral rot at the heart of the Trump movement by Hillary Rodham Clinton. This crisis also reveals a deeper moral rot at the heart of Trump's MAGA movement. Whatever you think about immigration policy, how could a person of conscience justify the lack of compassion and empathy for the victims in Minnesota and for the families torn apart or hiding in fear, for the children separated from their parents or afraid to go to school? That compassion is weak and cruelty is strong has become an article of MAGA faith. Trump and his allies believe that the more inhumane the treatment, the more likely it is to spread fear. That's the goal of surging heavily armed federal forces into blue states such as Minnesota and Maine. Street theater of the most dangerous kind. Other presidents, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, managed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants without turning American cities into battlegrounds or making a show of keeping children in cages. End quote. Oh, I see the game. You know, selling open borders is an election killer. So you think selling empathy or compassion will help bridge the gap and maybe win back independents who don't want an open border but are troubled by what they see on the news? As with everything else, it's a manufactured delusion you too must sell. Which explains why the Democrats are in this position now, resorting to the first violent attacks on the government since the 1970s. And no, January 6th doesn't count. These are coordinated, orchestrated, well funded attacks, not protests as much as flirting with terrorism. And you know that too, don't you, Hillary? And you're worried, and you should be. You also know that no president, not Obama or Bush or Clinton, ever had to deal with a cell phone brigade who are screaming, spitting, body slamming, ICE agents everywhere they go, stalking them, blocking their paths, building makeshift networks online to fine them, harass them, and stop them from doing their jobs. You know this is a first, and you know exactly why. But that won't stop you from lying, Hillary. What else is new? You're setting up the argument to slime your way out of this moment, where the Democrats are too crazy to lead and are looking more like the Manson family every day. I Had to laugh, though, at the misappropriation of yet another word, empathy. As if any of you ever had any empathy for anyone other than those who will be voting blue, no matter who. No, you can't call the other half of the country racists for 10 years and then pretend to have any empathy. Just look at Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway on a recent podcast talking about how we'll have the Nuremberg trials should all of you crazy people ever get back in power. And we will, Galloway says. Here's a clip from Ben Shapiro.
Ben Shapiro
Now, listen, the Democratic politicians, I get it, some of them are being driven by. By a media and celebrity culture that has decided that this is the new gigantic outrage of the day and everyone must speak out. This is our new civil rights movement. As we've discussed before, the Democratic base is constantly in search of an animating principle. And that animating principle is supposed to be a pale mock off of the civil rights movement of the 60s. And so we've had that with regard to gay rights, and then we had that with regard to transgenderism, and now we're getting that with regards to illegal immigration. The jackbooted thugs, they're enforcing laws that are discriminating against wide classes of people. They're always looking for their moment to do a Selma bridge. Well, the problem is that those moments are rare because, thank God, in America, that sort of stuff, that sort of policy has been rather ultra for, you know, half a century. Meaning that just in terms of generic public policy, every country has to enforce its border and every country has to make sure that illegal immigrants are deported. There's nothing new about that. But Democrats, and particularly radical activist class Democrats, are looking always for their new moment to be involved in a civil rights movement. And what that means, that they push very hard. The minute that they see anything that even remotely resembles that thing, they go for it, whole scale. And this is how you end up with, for example, Scott Galloway suggesting that Democrats should conduct Nuremberg trials against law enforcement, federal law enforcement, the difference between.
Sacha Stone
Being right and being effective. And we're angry, and I get it. Protesting is powerful, promising them that there will be an accountability. And I've said this, I think there should be something equivalent to the Nuremberg trials after this is all over. I agree. And to make it clear that once we're back in power, which we will be, this is going to happen. And the statute of limitations on murder is zero. Never.
Ben Shapiro
Okay, so, yeah, again, this sort of language is unhelpful. I actually think Scott Galloway has a lot of interesting things to say this is not one of them. Kara Swisher on the same podcast suggested that Stephen Miller has blood on his hands and should be put in jail.
News Reporter
And I would last like to call out Stephen Miller, who is in the center of this. We always focus on Trump as we often focus on the top people. But Stephen Miller, like a man named Ben Datson, he was the one who created the internment cancer, Japanese Heinrich Himmler in the Nazi regime. This is what he is. And of course, Trump gets most of the blame being at the top. But people like Stephen Miller will go down in history as evil had blood on his hands and should be jailed at the very end of this. And you're absolutely right.
Ben Shapiro
Okay. Again, comparing Stephen Miller to Heinrich Himmler is a pretty astonishing leap. It's a pretty astonishing leap from Kara Swisher.
Sacha Stone
This obsession with calling Trump Hitler and a Nazi began in 2016 because you could not stand the sting of humiliation when you lost to Trump. So you and the most powerful people in the world decided it was your right to disenfranchise the millions of Americans who voted for Trump and had every right to representation. I used to think you were a person of integrity. I did. I supported you. I fought for you. I was proud to be a Democrat. I made this video to humanize you for independents who did not want to vote for you. I thought I could help them see you the way I did, at least back then. Her graduation day in May 1969 was to give her her first taste of national limelight. She and the other leaders of her year were pressing the authorities to let a student speak at commencement, the graduation ceremony.
News Reporter
Initially, we were rebuffed when we went.
Sacha Stone
To Ruth Adams, who was the president.
News Reporter
And the other people who were involved.
Sacha Stone
On the college campus.
News Reporter
And even though we were told no in the beginning, we just kept pushing.
Sacha Stone
Ruth Adams agreed to let Hillary speak, provided the students assured her the speech would be appropriate.
News Reporter
We were giving her assurances.
Sacha Stone
We were saying, of course we're going to be responsible and constructive. We had the message loud and clear that she did not want any trouble over this speech. She could say what she wanted, and she did. But it wasn't what you expected?
Tom Homan
No, no, I was a bit slack.
Sacha Stone
Jeweled, I must say. The senator spoke pretty traditional in his attitudes about what women's roles would be and almost a warning to us to be good citizens in a modest, quiet, appropriate role. And then Hillary arose and you could see her shift her papers around, and you wondered what was up.
Ben Shapiro
She was so angry at what he.
Sacha Stone
Had just said that instead of delivering.
Tom Homan
Her speech, which she had written out, she started talking about what he had said.
Sacha Stone
And it was entirely ad hoc. She said something like, I am compelled to comment on Senator Brooks speech because it just raised sort of everything that is wrong about where American government is going. And this is what our leaders have been feeding us for years and years.
Tom Homan
And her generation wanted much more.
Sacha Stone
Hillary got a standing ovation from her.
News Reporter
Classmates, a cold shoulder from some parents.
Sacha Stone
And a write up in Life magazine. I was standing in line registering for classes at Yale Law School and I turned around and I saw a young woman with very unattractive glasses, a headband, kind of a dowdy looking dress on, and she looked very familiar. And I then realized that this is the young woman whose photograph I'd seen in Life magazine. And I said to her, having read that speech, I think someday you're going to be a US Senator or maybe even president. I was a good liberal. I repeated the lie that Trump's win was an existential threat and it required a hearts and minds campaign to resist everything he tried to do. Oh, the lies, Hillary, the lies. I can barely live with myself. I don't know how you manage it. After 10 years of those lies, there's not much to show for it. Trump is back in power because all of you failed so spectacularly. The people said, yeah, we'll take the twice impeached, four times indicted convicted felon. That's how badly you failed. Because you don't see them. You don't see them as people. You don't care about what they need. In other words, you're lacking in empathy. So now you think you finally have Trump on the ropes and all it took was throwing federal agents under the bus, demonizing them as hateful Nazi like thugs lying about the rot. At the heart of maga. Here is Tom Homan.
Tom Homan
Men and women. I was a Borgil agent. I was an ICE agent. I was the first ICE director that came up through the ranks. I spent over 40 years doing this. These men and women that carry that badge and gun are American patriots. They put themselves on the line for this nation every day. But I want you to remember, they don't hang their badge, they don't hang their heart on a hook. Every day they come to work, they're mothers and fathers, too. There are sons and daughters, too. If they've seen a fraction of the tragedies I've seen in my career, they take a lot of damage home to it every day. The things they've seen Especially on the border with border collisions, people drowning in the river, women being raped by criminal cartels, giving CPR to a baby that was thrown in the river by the cartels because BORDJ came to close. So let's throw the baby in the river. That way. The BOR patrol was concentrated on that so I can get away. These men and women see some terrible things, but I want you to remember there are mothers and fathers too. Many of them are members of this community. God bless every one of them. The hostile rhetoric and dangerous threats and hate must stop. And we all agreed to that. All everybody met here today. We got to stop the rhetoric, the hateful rhetoric that has caused an increase in assaults, that caused, because of that, having sent security teams out with arrest teams which surged the city with additional resources because of the Rhett, because of the threats, because of the assaults. Again, with the agreements we've achieved in following through these agreements, with the Rhettic dropping down, that allows us to pull more agents out once we feel the environment safer. I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March, if the rhetoric didn't stop, there was going to be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die. Not officers, not members of the community, and not the targets of our operations. For the people out there don't like what ISIS doing. If you want certain laws reformed, then take it up with Congress. Again, ISIS making this up. They're enforcing laws enacted by Congress and signed by President. The same. Same laws have been on the books for the last six presidents I worked for. I started with President Reagan and ending with President Trump. Every administration, we enforced the same laws. If you don't like what isa's doing, instead of protesting this building, go protest Congress. Tell me one changes. You have your First Amendment rights, and I support that. You have the right to protest. I'm just asking to keep it peaceful. But threatening law enforcement officers, engaging in impeding obstruction and assault is never okay. And there will be zero tolerance. You interfere, impede assault, and ISIS officers, you will be arrested.
Sacha Stone
The empire is collapsing. A once thriving culture has been sucked into a cult. Everything I used to love is gone. Movies, books, great journalism, science, history vanished, replaced with dogma and fanaticism because all of you walled yourself off from the rest of the country. You lost touch with reality, which is why it's so easy for you now to slip into the fantasy world and blame ICE agents for their lack of empathy. Shame on you where is your empathy for the victims of Biden's border policies? Do you remember the rape van? Yeah. There was a van where an illegal immigrant locked women away in it and raped them for hours.
News Reporter
We are uncovering new details about evidence found in what LA county detectives call a rape dungeon on wheels. Investigators say more victims have now come forward.
Tom Homan
This is just a horrible story.
Sacha Stone
Fox 11's Haley Winslow was the first to break it. And first of all, Haley, what do we know about these victims?
News Reporter
Well, sources say at least two more victims unfortunately have come forward and their family members and at least one of them is a child. And I can now report what I'm told the forensic team uncovered inside, inside that van. We want to warn you it is very disturbing. The stench overpowering, the mess overwhelming. Condoms, Christmas toys, a motorized scooter, beer glue, markers, improvised restraints, a metal partition and locks on the outside. Two heroic deputies arrested 40 year old Eduardo Sarabia in the Angeles Night National Forest last week. Investigators say they caught Sarabia raping a 26 year old woman at knife point. I'm inside the quote dungeon rape van where investigators say a serial rapist took his victims. At least two women, possibly kids. The evidence forensic investigators found is extremely disturbing. In here there's the mattress, many spots. There's semen they found on it. There's several cell phones and thumb drives where they believe he was videotaping his victims. And most disturbing in all of this is probably a small pair of shoes with splattered blood on the soles. All of that evidence has been of course processed and inside the van is everything that's left.

How about the Venezuelan gang that overtook.
Victim's Family Member
An apartment building and you at 10? It seems of kind coming out of a movie as the Venezuelan gang trender Agua are seen breaking into apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado. This is according to our sister station in Denver. There you can see the group, well armed and forcing an apartment door open and making their way in. This has raised concerns amongst residents and Colorado state law enforcement officials. The city of Aurora is issuing a statement today in the wake of national attention from following the video's release. As we've reported in the past, Tender Agua is one of the fastest growing transnational criminal organizations from Venezuela. According to FBI officials the gang has now infiltrated its way into the United States through various sectors of the U. S Mexico border.

Here is one illegal immigrant living on public assistance after multiple rapes, assaults and crimes. And was still out raping women.
Police Chief
On November 18, a woman was walking home when a man grabbed her and pulled her behind the bushes at the W and O D Trail in Herndon and raped her. According to court documents, police say Dennis Umberto Navarret Romero raped the woman and he's in the US illegally.
News Reporter
We haven't had a stranger rape in over 12 years that I've been here.
Police Chief
As chief Mackie Debord is the Herndon police chief.
News Reporter
There should be full prosecution so this never happens again.
Police Chief
According to court documents, Navarret Romero is unemployed and receives public assistance. And according to court documents and documents obtained by WJLA through a public records request, he's accused of several crimes in the past, including sex crimes in D.C. resisting arrest in D.C. and in Virginia. He's accused of assaults, battery, trespassing, using a stolen vehicle, weapon violations, drinking and smoking marijuana in public, loitering and indecent exposure.
News Reporter
But now we've determined that there was an allegation made in 2017 involving him with sexual type battery against several juveniles.
Police Chief
Juveniles?
News Reporter
Juveniles, yes.
Police Chief
That's not all.
News Reporter
He assaulted two of my police officers. One he actually grabbed around the throat and tried to choke him. So he was charged with two assault on a police officer felonies.
Police Chief
And was he convicted of two felonies?
News Reporter
No, because a couple months later that case was reduced to simple assault misdemeanors.
Police Chief
Tonight, the police chief is hoping he will be held accountable and serve time for the rape police say he committed.
News Reporter
The problem with deporting him right now would be there is a strong chance that he could end up back in this country again. The danger is if he's not held accountable for his crimes here and he's simply deported, we would have no way to keep him from coming back into the country.
Sacha Stone
Not enough for you, Hillary? How about this story?
Victim's Family Member
My Life I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I named her Kayla Marie. She was a happy and easygoing baby. Even back then. She loved to smile and laugh. She always kept her friends close and never forgot anyone. She was kind, caring, thoughtful and funny. She loved life and God. She showed the world that being yourself was okay and you didn't have to follow everyone else. But sadly, on July 27, 2022, I received the worst news that a parent doesn't want to hear. That my newly 20 year old daughter, Kayla Hamilton was murdered in her own room and left on the floor like trash. She left behind a mother who loved her, a stepfather, a brother, a younger sister, grandparents and lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. At first we knew very little details of the murder until an arrest was made. The details we learned broke us at the end of March of 2022, Kayla's murderer was apprehended by Border Patrol crossing illegally into the US at the Southwest border in Rio Grande City, Texas. I am not sure if he was vetted or not, but he was a 16 year old known gang member affiliated with MS.13 in El Salvador. The MS.13 motto is motto is Kill, Rape and Control. He entered the country as an unoccupied alien child as a uac. The murderer was allowed to go live with his aunt in Frederick, Maryland. She was also an illegal immigrant. There were issues with him living there and he went to go live with his half brother who lived in the same trailer park as Kayla and her boyfriend. My questions are what protocol was the aunt supposed to follow? If she couldn't handle handle him, then why not inform the proper authorities?
Sacha Stone
And that's all. Before we get to the young people who were lured into the left's fantasy world and told if they take drugs and get surgery, they can become the opposite sex, here's a video from Tik Tok.
Transgender TikTok User
They told you what was going to happen before you started testosterone, so really it's your fault. You should have been paying more attention. See, but they didn't, though. They told me the outwardly observable effect that I would immediately notice, like that my voice was going to drop, not that my vocal cords were going to dramatically thicken and that a lot of women's larynxes aren't big enough to accommodate that thickness, meaning that my voice just always hurts. I snored last night, apparently because my throat has hurt all day. It also means that I can't snap, scream, or raise my voice above a certain volume. I used to do theater. They knew that that was something very important to me and I've lost that ability because I can't project my voice anymore. They told me that I might experience vaginal dryness, not that the cells in my gynecological and urological anatomy are highly estrogen dependent and that depleting them of that estrogen by going on testosterone is almost certainly going to cause them to irreversibly atrophy, which causes a slew of issues ranging from, yes, vaginal dryness and pain and bleeding upon penetration to losing the ability to give vaginal birth to urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction. I've seen a lot of informed consent packets from these gender clinics and I have never seen one actually go into detail about what vaginal dryness entails. It's also crazy to me to imply that I, as a 14 year old 8th grader or the kids that they do this to are as young as 11, could comprehend the lifelong implications of being incontinent and not being able to have penetrative sex or give birth vaginally. That's not something that a child can consent to.
Sacha Stone
So you can fool those who read the Atlantic, Hillary, but you can't fool me. I know you too well. Empathy. Yours is conditional. In fact, empathy was strictly forbidden on the left lest you empathize with the wrong people. Not the victims of rapes or terrorism by illegal immigrants. Not the victims of crime if the criminal is the wrong color, not victims of the crazy gender cult. And you most certainly can't empathize with Trump or his supporters. If you do, you'll lose everything. Some Democrats gave the standard statement condemning violence after Charlie Kirk was murdered. And then we watched everyone on the left celebrate some even losing their jobs. No one on your side wrote any op ed in the Atlantic about empathy as Recline tried to empathize with Charlie and was viciously attacked for days with calls for him to be fired. We watched Jimmy Kimmel play the free speech martyr because his inhumanity in the wake of the murder was so horrific that millions of Americans flooded the station with calls to remove him. I watched them dig the knife in deeper on x and on TikTok. I watched them mock Erica Kirk. Then I watched Barack Obama and all the celebrities call Charlie a racist when he wasn't here to defend himself. For podcast listeners, a montage of the vile tweets from TikTok. No, empathy vanished on the left long ago. You were all resentful, you see, because you could not win the election, America broke up with you twice. You haven't taken it well. You should see some of the videos on TikTok. The hate is so deep and thick you could cut it with a knife. Empathy? I don't think so. Here is a montage from TikTok.
Liberal Commentator
Hey Patrick, I know a lot of liberals have been hesitant to define what a woman is because they're like too woke or whatever.
Tom Homan
But I'm not.
Liberal Commentator
So I'm happy to do that for you now. So women are the people who, when they see you coming, they cross the street either because you make them feel uncomfortable because your spirit is unsettling, or they just know you're going to strike up a conversation with them that they're counting down in their head to be over. Women are the people who can never remember your name because there's Nothing unique or special or memorable about you and that really gets to you. So instead, amongst their friend group, they give you code names like pit stain guy because all of your undershirts are stained like a putrid yellow brown color. Women are the people who have had their eyes shellac shut anytime they've had an intimate physical encounter with you, however far and few between those have been for you. Women are the people you blame for all your problems while you sit on your couch with the peeling arms because you went for bonded leather instead of genuine as nacho cheese drips from your face fingers.

No, I'll absolutely make fun of your looks. I just haven't done that on here because I didn't want to get banned.

You would spit on her face while.
Sacha Stone
Jesus washes her feet. It is now your last, best resort for emotional blackmail to try to slither out of yet another moment where all of you are defending the wrong people, demonizing law enforcement and spinning wild fantasies in hopes of tricking beleaguered voters to the polls. Maybe your op ed was a way to try to find some middle ground. Deportations, but with empathy. Yeah, we tried that. You know how it ended up? So you'll have to sell open borders like you sell no genders because none of you has the courage to stand up to the psychos. Not even to protect women and girls, Hillary. Not even that. Maybe if you still had empathy, you would not be here now defending unhinged mobs who think it is their moral right and their duty to go to war on the federal government. Maybe you would understand why Americans voted for Trump a second time. Maybe you could all stop your decade long campaign of dehumanization against half the country. But since I know empathy vanished on the left long ago, I know there is no saving the left. There is only saving America from all of you.

Episode: "Oh Hillary, Empathy? Really? Please."
Date: January 30, 2026
Host: Sasha Stone
Episode Theme:
A pointed open letter to Hillary Clinton, critiquing her recent Atlantic op-ed accusing MAGA and Trump supporters of lacking empathy. Sasha Stone explores themes of political polarization, the weaponization of empathy, the left’s handling of law enforcement and border policy, and what she sees as the left’s disconnect from ordinary Americans and genuine empathy.
Sasha Stone uses Clinton’s op-ed as a launching pad to challenge the left’s claims to empathy and compassion, specifically regarding immigration and law enforcement. Stone argues that left-wing leaders and commentators use empathy as a political tool rather than a genuine principle, often failing to extend it to groups outside their political alignment. She questions the veracity of the left’s narrative on Trump, MAGA, and law enforcement, bringing forth counterpoints about crime and the victims of progressive immigration policies.
Stone begins by addressing Hillary Clinton’s Atlantic piece ("MAGA's War on Empathy"), noting the predictable narrative: attacking MAGA for lacking empathy, especially in relation to the Minneapolis crisis and immigration enforcement.
Stone sees the op-ed as a strategic pivot by Democrats to sell “empathy” because “selling open borders is an election killer.” This, Stone claims, is a calculated attempt to win back moderates and independents.
Stone contrasts the demonization of ICE with personal stories from Tom Homan, former ICE director:
Homan’s pleas for an end to the violent rhetoric and acknowledgment of ICE agents as members of the community:
Features a TikTok montage mocking Trump supporters, conservatives, and, specifically, the daily lived experience of conservative men.
Asserts that attempts at healing or unity from the left are disingenuous or doomed to fail:
[02:00] Sasha Stone:
“Selling open borders is an election killer, so you think selling empathy or compassion will help bridge the gap...As with everything else, it's a manufactured delusion you too must sell.”
[05:32] Scott Galloway (as recounted):
“There should be something equivalent to the Nuremberg trials after this is all over. I agree. And to make it clear that once we're back in power, which we will be, this is going to happen.”
[11:13] Tom Homan:
“These men and women that carry that badge and gun are American patriots...But I want you to remember, they don't hang their heart on a hook. They are mothers and fathers too...”
[22:48] Transgender TikTok User:
“It's also crazy to me to imply that I, as a 14 year old 8th grader, could comprehend the lifelong implications of being incontinent and not being able to have penetrative sex or give birth vaginally. That's not something that a child can consent to.”
[24:14] Sasha Stone:
“Empathy. Yours is conditional. In fact, empathy was strictly forbidden on the left lest you empathize with the wrong people.”
[27:10] Liberal Commentator:
“Please stop asking us to come together and unite with Trump supporters. It's never going to happen...We don't trust you and we can never trust you...”
Sasha Stone’s episode is a sweeping critique of what she sees as the left’s performative empathy and political opportunism. Calling out Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats, Stone argues that much of the left has lost authentic empathy by selectively applying it and by demonizing political opponents, law enforcement, and detractors of progressive orthodoxy. Backed by a series of stories—crime victims, ICE agents, detransitioners—Stone insists that the collapse of true empathy has led to disconnection, resentment, and, ultimately, political loss.
