end of the Democratic Party because we changed our party. Ripping out the poison of anti Semitism.

Conservative Commentator
Keir Starmer was so awful that I think he literally might be the most unpopular British prime minister on record. All right, guys, brace yourself because the political tectonic plates are shifting right now. The Democrat establishment is bleeding out. In New York, a shocking primary swoop has just sent a devastating lightning bolt straight through the heart of the political left. And across the Atlantic, power is forcibly changing hands in the UK As Starmer steps down. But don't celebrate, because it seems somebody far more radical is about to step in. And in the center of all this wreckage, Hillary Clinton sounds off in what seems to be a desperate scorched earth gamble to salvage anything recognizable from the glory days of a dying party. And as always, if you're liking the show, please, like, share, comment, and subscribe because it helps us a ton. All right, let's dive in. Keeping it real with Jillian Michaels. All right, guys, welcome to the show. Today we're gonna be doing the rundown a little bit differently because there are some insane stories in the news that simply do not permit me to do any of this off of the cuff. So Fletcher and I have probably not left our computers for. For three days in particular since the primaries on Tuesday in New York. We've got a lot to share with you. These stories are all eerily connected. Let's take it from the top. Fletch, what's first?
- [01:59]
Jillian Michaels
Absolutely, Jillian, just like you said, let's take it from the very top. The Democratic progressives have just been getting absolutely more and more unhinged. And we have a clip to start it off. Guys, can we throw in Sat one?
- [02:11]
News Reporter
Democrats have candidates winning primaries and rising through the ranks. Here's a few of them. Vang in California, one of the Democrats, she won't say the Pledge of Allegiance. Hammaway in New Jersey, Socialist candidate has ties to Al Qaeda and other terrorists. Chevalier won last night in New York over Hakeem's counter endorsement. She says she wants to abolish the border. She doesn't want a border for the country. Mendoza in Arizona wants to decriminalize trans prostitution. Apparently, that's the thing. James in Iowa wants to apologize for being white. Giriot in Iowa performed a Satanist woman wedding. And Bennett in New Jersey stopped going to church because Trump voters were there.
- [02:53]
Conservative Commentator
Okay, so first of all, he's largely as. As Fletch mentioned talking about the progressives, which, believe it or not, are very different than the Democratic socialists. And we're going to get to that in just a minute. But this party is becoming more and more radical, as everybody knows, as everybody's been watching. And you've got guys like Abdul El Sayed in Michigan running for Senate that would not comment on the death of the Ayatollah because he was so concerned about how upset his potential constituents were about it. We've got guys with Totemkopf tattoos, which is the tattoo of the Nazi concentration camp guards tattooed on their chest, like Graham Platner. You've got another guy by the name of Zul Mohammed who's gone viral. He's running for a mayor in a city in Texas, and he says that he hates veterans, he hates the US Military. These guys are tame, tame compared to what just happened in New York. And the general sentiment is identity politics. Hamas sympathizers, terror sympathizers, anti American, anti the west, anti imperialist, and of course, anti Zionist. And as you've seen, the ways in which the left is justifying the, you know, Abdul El Sayeds and the Graham Platners is. But Trump. But Trump. But Trump. I'm gonna say this one more time. God willing, anybody on the left is listening. Even if I completely agreed with you and said, yes, Trump is a rapist and Trump is a racist and Trump is a convicted criminal, Even if I was like, yes, 100%, I'm all in on those things, which I personally am not. I do think that he engages in familial corruption. I don't like it. I do not think he's a rapist at all. And I do not think that he is a racist at all. But tabling that, if I did the gimme on all of it, okay, this does not justify putting people into public office that hate America. It doesn't.
- [05:32]
Jillian Michaels
You know, absolutely, Jillian. You know, it. I couldn't agree more that, you know, Republicans and Democrats, you know, they might not agree with everything, but I think they all want what's best for America. They just have different ideas of how to get there. But, you know, these, the DSA candidates, it seems like they want something entirely different and just a little background. There were eight DSA members who won Democratic primaries, six for the New York State Legislature and two for the U. S. House, and three that were endorsed by Mayor Mamdani. And we just want to jump into the three a little bit. So the, the first of the. The Mamdani endorsed candidates is Brad Lander, who's a longtime progressive Democrat. You know, he served on New York City City Council as well as New York City compatroller. He's very critical of Israel, but of course, you know, the pro Palestine thinks he doesn't go far enough.
- [06:25]
Conservative Commentator
Right. Okay. There's more to know about this guy. He's Jewish. He was a member of the DSA. He left the DSA after October 7th. So he knew that something was wrong in Denmark. Obviously, for a guy this radical to leave the DSA after October 7, you can imagine how absolutely scary this organization must be. But having said that, somehow this guy has found himself at the infamous mosque that we have showed you a million times over the last year, where Mam dummy frequents the mosque where they called for death to the infidels by the sword. Which let me clarify for all of you when we've shown you this clip and you've seen my exceptional alarm. I'm like, there's mom Donnie, and he's at the mosque and he gets down from the podium and they swiftly call for death to the infidels by the sword. And he's there. Do you know how many. What's the right word here, political Islamists jumped into my comments to be like, she's so stupid. That's the such and such prayer. As though, like, this is just a sacred prayer. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. You are completely numb to the fact that you're routinely praying for death to the infidels as though it's nothing to be alarmed about. As though it's just this institution of the religion to routinely call for death to non believers by the sword. And you wonder why, why so many of us are concerned about political Islam. That is not a healthy idea. And let me also clarify the following real quick. Being Muslim, that is not an ethno religion. There is no race associated with being Muslim. None. It's not like Judaism, which is an ethno religion. You can be Jewish, your genes can reflect that you have Jewish ancestry. And then there is of course, the ideology and the belief system and adherence to the religion. That is not Islam. Islam is an idea. It is. And there are ideas in this religion that are scary. And yes, the vast majority of of Muslims don't practice those ideas, but the ones that do are going to be in your Congress. Okay, you gotta pay attention here. You've got to pay attention. So this guy Broadlander somehow finds himself praying in Arabic at this exact mosque. All of the three people that Mamdani has backed somehow are on video at the podium praying in Arabic at that exact mosque. Fletch, tell people a little bit about that. That particular mosque, please.
- [10:00]
Jillian Michaels
This mosque has hosted the Muslim American society many times, and in one of the times, they were hosting a fundraiser there. During that fundraiser, vendors were pedaling keychains, stickers, pins, in support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine. But not just that. Other items at this event called Thrift for Sudan featured images of late terrorist leaders. But that's not even all, because other merchandise sported terror group logos or called for the destruction of Israel with slogans like let's go bomb Tel Aviv and death to the idf.
- [10:39]
Conservative Commentator
Right. Okay. Why don't we jump into Chevalier if Brad isn't scary enough?
- [10:46]
Jillian Michaels
Absolutely. And, you know, she is so much more extreme than Brad. Just to list a few things, she has called for abolishing police, prisons, and borders. She said the ME means ending policing, full stop, period. No more police at all, ever. She has retweeted posts saying, yes, literally, abolish the border and all deportation is wrong. She's called the United States a effing disgrace, referred to the US as occupied Native American land, and has joked about wiping her dirty hands on the American flag, as well as retweeting posts that say Israel doesn't exist. And she even wrote that black and Arab men fetishize about ugly colonizer women.
- [11:32]
Conservative Commentator
All right, and number three, you know,
- [11:34]
Jillian Michaels
she has, you know, posted many things. One, being on a Tumblr account that has since been deleted where she has defended a terrorist who in 2011 was sentenced to 10 years for plotting to blow up the Manhattan synagogue. She had said that she felt the deepest low, describing her him as her brother whose family she knows. She said, right, last weekend, he attempted suicide in order to escape his circumstances. He saw nowhere out but death. This is the state our people are in. In addition, she has defended convicted Al Qaeda financer, writing of him and other terrorists locked up. Therefore, each day that they are locked up is a day that our hearts cannot be at ease. We cannot rest until each and every one is free. Their lives are a source of inspiration to us, for they are living martyrs. We actually have a clip, a little montage for you guys. Can we play sat3?
- [12:30]
Fletcher
You know, the system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy, et cetera, have all. And Islamophobia have all been used, you know, to colonize lands, right? To take resources from other people. And so this is like a long trajectory victory and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation. Right. With 9, 11. And so a lot of times when people are asking us to respond about, you know, attack. Right. When if you look back, like historically. Right. You know, a lot of us come from lands that were colonized, lands where wars are being waged. Right. A lot of Times because of U.S. policy or, or the policies in Europe.
- [13:10]
Radical Activist
I feel the Palestinian blood. We feel, and we stand in solidarity with Palestine. We have the historic responsibility. We have the historic responsibility of defeating, of defeating Israel colonialism. Israel colonialism and US Imperialism.
- [13:33]
Hillary Clinton
Right.
- [13:34]
Conservative Commentator
Okay. So obviously I would love to sit here and debate the things that they just said. And I do think I need to just combat a couple of those ideas. The first one is the fact that you're saying, oh, we're coming from these war torn areas. Do you realize that Islam started in Saudi Arabia and somehow could it be colonizing has spread to 50 plus countries? Israel, UNO, Islam, 50 plus. I don't know. Crazy. That sounds like the definition of colonizing different nations. But call me crazy if you are like, I've had it with Israel, I'm so done. No problem. Go ahead, feel the way that you feel. I'm not here to talk you out of it. This is not about Israel, though. Listen to what they are saying. It is about bringing down the West. It is about ending Western civilization. This is not hyperbole. This is out of their mouths. This is exactly what they have said. You just saw her say ending Western imperialism. And one of these women started a group at Columbia University that was about ending West Western civilization. So whether you like the Jews, you don't like the Jews, you hate Israel, you're anti Zionist, you do think it has the right to exist. You don't. It doesn't matter if you live in the Western world. This is a threat that applies to you. Okay, now I want to talk a little bit about the DSA in particular. I have historically said the left eats its own. And this is that. This is that on steroids. You are watching the absolute end, the end of the Democratic Party. So let's look at the data from Tuesday's New York primaries. Right? This is not just an election, guys. This is a coordinated, hostile takeover. These DSA insurgents, they didn't just win. They systemically slaughtered entrenched, powerful establishment Democrats. You saw Mike Johnson just say that the person Hakeem Jeffries endorsed lost. The person that Mom Donnie endorsed won. And here's the genius and quite honestly, the true danger of this group, it's how they did it, the Democratic Socialists of America, they don't run as a third party. So they figured out years ago that third parties like the Green Party or the Libertarians, that goes nowhere. So they did something infinitely smarter. They have infiltrated the Democrat primary process and they are replacing incumbents from within. They are literally a parasitic organization and they have been playing the long game. You just heard it out of her mouth. 6,000 members in 2015, 100,000 today in 2026. They have crept into our city councils, our school boards, our state legislatures, bit by bit, block by block, year after year, building an angry army while all of us were laughing about funny burning memes. Okay? This strategy has a name and it's called entryism. And it's when a smaller, more radical group deliberately joins a larger party to infiltrate and expand its influence. And we've seen this throughout history. And I've got one for you. The UK Labor Party, this happened to them in the 80s. We're going to get to that in just a minute, by the way, here in the States. Mamdani's New York mayoral win was proof of concept. And then the DSA deployed their machine and they put a Democratic socialist in charge of the largest city in America. And Tuesday night, that same machine went on to Congress. Guys, two of these crazy lunatics are going to Congress. Now, Dan Goldman, who led Trump's first impeachment, this guy lost by 31 points to Brad Lander, wasn't far enough left. He led Trump's impeachment. Oh, no, no, no. He has to go. And he ran explicitly as Mamdani's candidate and is calling, as Fletch mentioned, to abolish ice, which will be his first priority. Then you have Antonio Reynosa. This guy was the first Latino ever elected Brooklyn borough President. He was the son of Dominican immigrants, born and raised in Williamsburg. Beaten by Claire Valdez, the DSA member and Adriano. I'm going to mess this guy's name up. Espaillat, this guy. Established Democrat, five term Congressman, Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. This is a man who built his entire career fighting for Latino rights toppled by chevalier.
- [18:36]
Fletcher
Okay?
- [18:37]
Conservative Commentator
A 32 year old DSA member with zero government experience just wiped out a respected, established Democrat. Now, before I get to what this means nationally, I need to stop and I need to tell you who the DSA is. Because their candidates are out there talking about free bus rides and frozen rents. And while they do that, their governing body, the National Political Committee, just dropped a brand new platform and it's called Workers Deserve More. And here's what's in it. Abolish the U.S. senate. Replace the President and the Supreme Court with bodies chosen by and subordinate to Congress. Abolish the carceral forces of the capitalist state. Defund the Department of Defense. Close every overseas military base and every economic sanction, including those on Iran and Cuba and Russia, open borders, universal amnesty. Draft an entirely new constitution and create, in their words, a democratic socialist republic built from the ground up. And this is not fringe language that snuck through. This is their official governing platform ratified by their national political committee just this month. The co chair of that committee is a member of the Red Star Caucus which is a self described Marxist Leninist organization that explicitly states capitalism can't be reformed, must be overthrown. And that is openly using the Democrat Party as a short term vehicle. And their word for it is surrogate. I said parasite, they said surrogate. Until a Socialist Workers Party is built and can assume state power. The Liberation Caucus, which is another faction now holding seats on the NPC. Well they praised the guy who shot and killed two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington D.C. in May of 2025 and they called it, quote, a legitimate act of resistance. These are the people running the organization whose candidates just swept in New York City this past week. And here's the part that nobody wants to talk about. This DSA machine is, is, is dismantling minority power structures that took generations to build. For decades, the absolute backbone of urban democratic politics has been established black and Latino leadership. These communities have spent generations building seniority, institutional clout and national influence. That's why I just read all of them to you. Who got replaced. Espaillat. That guy, he wasn't just any congressman. He was the chair of the Hispanic Caucus. He was a symbol of hard won Latino representation in Washington. The established gatekeepers are watching generations of minority political power get dismantled and traded away for raw radical ideology. And it's not just New York. This is a nationwide playbook and it has a name. They call it Sewer Socialism. Their words, not mine. And this is the order. Stop talking about dismantling capitalism. Talk about housing affordability and municipal services and subsidized childcare and keep it practical and keep it populist. You've got Janice Lewis George who just locked down the D.C. mayoral primary. You've got Katie Wilson, a total wackadoo who just took Seattle. And somehow Nithya Raman is surging in Los Angeles who makes Karen Bass seem like a good idea. DSA backed candidates now hold 250 local political positions across 50 states, 96 city councilors and county commissioners, eight mayors, and as of Tuesday night, two members of Congress. The Democrat establishment, like Hakeem Jeffries, they want you to think that a handful of primaries aren't going to reshape the party. Do not buy it. They're taking seats, okay? One seat becomes five, five seats becomes 20 and 20 becomes the future of their party. And the question is not whether they know it. They know it. It's not whether the Democratic Party is changing. Of course it is. The question is whether any of its established leaders are going to have the guts to stop it. Now I've watched the likes of Newsom pander to this faction when he says things like, oh, Israel's an apartheid state. And then he checks in on his TikTok following. Guys, James Carville has gone off the reservation quite a long time ago and has actively called for political violence. But here he is in a full blown panic, desperately trying to suggest that these people who won in New York should not be able to take office and that the socialists need to form a third party because he knows this is the end of the Democrats. Take a look.
- [23:47]
James Carville
Let's get real. And by the way, two of them I don't think are even Democrats. Of this Chevalier lady, I don't. They should not seat her in the caucus. Her views are totally against anything that any Democrat has. We believe in pluralism. She doesn't even believe in interracial dating. I mean, who would? Who? I don't think there's a place in the party. I, by the way, I'm not sure she wants, she wants to be a Democrat, go do something else. Form your own party.

Now having said all this, guys, you've got to pay attention and you've got to vote in your local elections because do you realize that only 10% of the people in New York voted for this? 10%. This could have been stopped if people were just paying attention. There is something very deep and very dark behind this and we're going to be bringing you the full story on this soon because there is a lot to know here and we're deep in the research and it is deeply, deeply alarming. But until then, you've got to pay attention. You cannot check out. You have to stay vigilant and you have to vote. If in your local elections, Sundays for dogs is different because they start with 80 plus percent, all natural meats, and then they finish with superfoods like kale and ginger and blueberries and they Gently air dry all of them instead of using high heat so none of the nutrients get damaged. Sundays doesn't look or smell like dog food. It looks like high quality human grade jerky. And there are no fillers, no nutritional blends, no chemicals, just simple complete nutrition for your pet. I love this company because it is founded by a vet, Dr. Tori Waxman, and was created to meet her high standards as not just a vet but a dog parent herself. And the best part is that Sundays requires no fridge, no freezer, no prep and no mess. You get the quality of a home cooked meal for your dog with a scoop and serve. Ease of kibble. And honestly guys, it's what dog food should have been all along. Over a hundred thousand dogs are eating sundaes right now and the reviews speak for themselves. Especially from owners of picky eaters who've never seen their dog get this excited about mealtime before. If you love your dog, make the switch to Sundays.

absolutely it's so important to pay attention to our local elections. Speaking of that, we have our friends over in the UK who are actually further along on the crazy train. But they actually ousted Kier Stmer and we have a clip from his resignation that we wanted to show you guys. Can we throw in Sat 5?
- [26:47]
Keir Starmer
6 years ago I inherited a Labour party that was politically, financially and morally bankrupt. I was told time and time again that my party was finished, that we were consigned to history. That a majority at the general election, let alone a landslide majority, was impossible. But we proved those people wrong because we changed our party. Ripping out the poison of anti Semitism, restoring trust on the economy, defence and national security. And becoming a party that once again stood proudly with not against our national flag. The hard work work of change was with a singular purpose. Not power for power's sake, but to change Britain for the better. To build a fairer country with dignity and respect. On opposite day where everyone is seen, everyone is valued, wealth and opportunity for all, not just lost the privileged prude.
- [28:06]
Jillian Michaels
So that sounds really similar to our friend Mamdani, you know, discussing how he wants to make everything fair for everyone while ripping the poison out of the party.
- [28:17]
Spiritual Speaker
If we remove the three poisons of desire, hatred and ignorance from our daily lives, we need not accept suffering as unchangeable. We need not treat hatred as the natural state. We have the power to set ourselves free. Let us create a new expectation of City hall where power is wielded to love, to embrace and to protect. We will stand with the stranger today.

Keir Starmer was so awful that I think he literally might be the most unpopular British Prime Minister on record. Every single thing that this guy claimed to deliver, the opposite happened. And he didn't just stop protecting his people, he persecuted them. And all you got to do is look at the string of nicknames that this guy has earned to see how much damage he did to the people of the UK in record time. There's Starmer the Farmer Harmer, because he hit British farmers with a massive tax rate and pushed family farms that had survived for generations into bankruptcy. There's Starmer the Granny Harmer, because he stripped the annual winter heating allowance from millions, millions of elderly people. There's Sir Flip Flop, because he never met a promise that he wouldn't immediately break. But his real legacy is the destruction of UK law and borders. Millions illegally crossed the English Channel into the UK to burn their flag and rape their children. And instead of responding with the full force of the state, Starmer's establishment managed the optics and spent more energy on policing public outrage over it than hunting predators. And that's where you get his most infamous nickname to date. 2 tier Kir. 2 entirely different standards of justice. Violent criminals released early because prisons were full. But a grandmother named Julie Sweeney, who was the sole caretaker for her elderly husband while she was handed 15 months in prison for a four Facebook post after expressing anger and deep concern over what has been happening to her country. Well, Keir's gone now, guys. But don't start celebrating, because it is about to get worse. The lunatic that's waiting in the wings to replace him is Andy Burnham. And this is a guy who built his career on the altar of identity politics and institutional cowardice. He explicitly identifies as a fill in the blank socialist and has literally attacked Keir Starmer for being too harsh on immigration. Does this not look exactly like what just happened in New York? Establishment ousted by radicals. Burnham was the mayor of Greater Manchester while those grooming gangs were raping tens of thousands of young girls. And this weasel looked the victims in the eye, promised them justice, and did nothing. Why? Because roughly 20% of his voter base is Muslim. And calling out those crimes he felt was too politically dangerous for his ambitions. This guy has spent years actively pandering to sectarian voting blocks, letting aggressive religious interests dictate Local policing and foreign policy to secure his power base. Burnham is essentially their version of our dsa. So guys, it looks like the fight for the British people is just beginning. And here's the real irony. Did you see? Did you guys see that? The European Parliament just passed the toughest deportation measures in modern EU history. They approved sweeping new return rules by a vote of a monster majority. It was like 418 to 218.
- [32:18]
European Parliament Speaker
The vote is open. The vote is closed. Adopted. The first reading of Parliament is closed. Okay, we move to the next item. On the agenda. The report by Mrs. Brigmont on the EU Pakistan Agreement. Modification of concessions on tariff rate quotes.
- [32:50]
Keir Starmer
Wow.
- [32:52]
Conservative Commentator
These people are done. They have had it.
- [32:57]
Jillian Michaels
And you know, this institutional cover up isn't just a British problem. It's a continent wide epidemic of numbers that they are desperately trying to hide from from everyone. I mean, in Germany, the federal crime statistics confirm a staggering 41% of all criminal suspects nationwide are non German citizens, with foreigners drastically overrepresenting in violent crimes. In France, the Ministry of the Interior's own data reveals that 64% of all robberies, physical attacks and sexual assaults on public transport are committed by foreigners, while foreign nationals account for nearly half of all criminal suspects. In Paris, despite being a tiny fraction of the population. Over in Spain, murders committed by foreign nationals skyrocketed by 69% in a single decade. While they now make up roughly 45% of the entire prison population.

You wonder why they're chanting send them back. Send them back. You know what's ironic about this though, is that border control and immigration were central to why Brexit happened. Their literal slogan was Take back control. And the reality of how this actually played out has got to be one of the biggest political paradoxes of modern times. But with this vote, unlike Starmer and Burnham, it is not lip service. This is binding law. So under the old system, immigrants could bounce around Europe for a couple of years, crossing from country to country, restarting the asylum process every single time they landed someplace new. Now that loophole is closed. And under the new rules, a single deportation order is recognized across the entire continent. You can't outrun it by crossing a border. And if you refuse to leave, they can lock you up for two years whilst they process your removal. So there's no more country shopping, there's no more running at the clock. You get 30 days to leave voluntarily, and if you don't, the full force of the state comes down on you. Now, unsurprisingly, this was a de facto alliance of center right and right wing groups in the European Parliament that pushed this through. While the same familiar coalition of socialists and far left parties fought like hell and of course called it racist. They lost, thank God, because the reality eventually catches up to the ideology. Decades of uncontrolled immigration combined with cowardly politics results in failed integration, parallel societies soaring, gang violence, knife attacks, terror plots, ra riots and mass abuse scandals the government's either ignored or actively covered up. And I want to be clear about something because I need to say this and I need you to hear it. This is not about xenophobia. This is not about hating foreigners. This is about the difference between a system that works in a system that doesn't. It is about vetting, it is about values, and it is about rules. When immigrants come the right way, they don't drain social services, they don't commit crimes, they stimulate the economy. And they often appreciate the freedoms of the western world more than those of us who were born here and take them for granted. They're hardworking, they're driven, and they're grateful in a way that frankly puts the rest of us to shame. And I'll give you some examples. The Cubans who fled communism, they turned Miami from a sleepy southern city into an international financial powerhouse. The Irish, the Italians, they literally built New York and Boston, the subways, the bridges, the buildings, and then built the institutions that held those cities together. The police departments, fire departments, the schools. Mexican immigrants who built the American Southwest, these guys laid the railroads, they harvested the crops that fed our country. And during World War II, while the Americans were overseas fighting, they kept American agriculture from collapsing entirely. Under something called the Braquero program, Indian and Chinese immigrants built Silicon Valley and the entire American tech industry from the ground up. These people didn't come here to change America into the place that they left or worse, facilitate its destruction because they hate the West. They came here to become American. And that distinction, that willingness to assimilate, to contribute and to earn their place, that's everything. The message is simple. You gotta control who comes in to your country. It is the mechanism that makes immigration a gift instead of a catastrophe.
- [37:49]
Jillian Michaels
You know, speaking of immigration, that kind of gets us into our next clip. I thought you might have something to say about this Hillary Clinton clip that has gone absolutely viral. So, guys, can we throw in?
- [38:02]
Hillary Clinton
Sat 7 migration has been a huge flashpoint. More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps. There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about Things like migration, it went too far. It's been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way.
- [38:31]
Conservative Commentator
I have mixed feelings about this one. You notice that we started with the most radical and circled all the way back around did the establishment. And on one hand, she isn't kowtowing to the radicals in her party, and she's admitting openly that open borders and mass migration are a monster sized problem. But of course, her game is that Trump is doing it wrong. And she does know that anybody who spends five minutes researching her husband's or Barack Obama's record is going to immediately uncover staggering hypocrisy. So she's attempting a political sleight of hand, Right? Take ownership of the issue, defuse the duplicity and redirect the outrage. Yes, immigration is a problem, but we did it better and we did it humanely, which is such a filthy, dirty. I have said this a thousand times. I'm going to say it a thousand and one. Her husband passed expedited removal. This allows them to deport somebody without ever putting them in front of a judge. This is not a Trump invention. Bill Clinton signed this into law in 1996. And before that law, if you were caught in the country without authorization, you were entitled to appear before an immigration judge. You could make your case. And Clinton changed that. He created an entire category of people who could be deported without ever seeing a courtroom. So please spare us the lectures about Democrats being the party of due process. And Bill Clinton built the machinery. But then Barack Obama came along, and his administration deported roughly 3 million people. And according to government data, about 74% of his removals occurred without an immigration judge and ever hearing their case. There's no courtroom, there's no hearing, there's no lawyer. They were just gone. And when more than 52,000 unaccompanied children arrived at the border fleeing violence in Central America, Obama sought more power to fast track their deportations. At least 1900 kids, some as young as 14, were ultimately ordered deported after appearing alone in immigration court without legal representation. Then, of course, you've got the deaths in ICE custody, because Hillary and much of the media would have you believe that this is uniquely a Trump phenomena. It isn't, Guys. The numbers fluctuate depending on which data set you use. But the broader reality is uncomfortable for the narrative. The deaths that have occurred under Obama versus under Trump are pretty much identical. Okay, and what about the accusation that Trump has deported US Citizens of color and.

Based on official data and historical Academic studies, the numbers indicate that the Trump administration has recorded fewer total wrongful detentions and deportations of US Citizens than the peak numbers recorded during the Obama administration. And there is research on this by Northwestern University, for example, that found more than 4,000 US citizens were wrongfully detained or deported in 2010 alone during the Obama administration. Legal scholars have directly tied these failures back to, guess what? Clinton's 1996 immigration overhaul, which, as I mentioned, weakened due process protections and accelerated removals. There's research from the University of Southern California, Berkeley, similarly concluding that hundreds of American citizens were wrongfully detained every year, suggesting the total number during the Obama years reached well into the thousands. Here's one more study examining ICE data that found Obama's flagship Secure Communities program. Well, this connected local jail records directly to federal immigration databases and wrongfully detained approximately 3,600 U.S. citizens during its initial rollout alone. Thousands of Americans swept into the deportation pipeline under Clinton and Obama. And let's finally put to bed the claim that Obama only targeted criminals. More lies. A New York Times analysis of government records found that roughly two thirds of the more than 2 million people deported under Obama had either committed minor offenses, such as traffic violations, or had no criminal record at all. And now, here's what has actually changed Hillary. Not the laws, but the rhetoric, the propaganda, and the volume of that propaganda. Nobody told Americans to lay their bodies on the line to fight ice. No one called ICE the Gestapo, and no one called Clinton or Obama Nazi or fascist for enforcing federal law, the same laws that Trump is enforcing, arguably in a more humane fashion. Based on the data that I just gave you, the enforcement apparatus already existed, the detention infrastructure already existed, as did the cages. And most of this architecture was built, expanded, and normalized under Democratic administrations. So if Hillary Clinton wants to talk about who built this system, she should start with Amir and then look at her husband and then look at her former boss. Because what's changed isn't immigration policy. What has changed is who's holding the pen. And suddenly, the very enforcement machine that they built and expanded is being portrayed as an unprecedented moral atrocity the moment Trump controls it. I'm not saying that Democrats are uniquely evil. I'm actually saying the opposite. I'm saying this is bipartisan. I'm saying that both parties have participated in building this system for decades. And the only difference now is that the Democrats are weaponizing outrage and stoking hysteria as a path back to power, not because they suddenly discovered compassion, but because political incentives have changed. And that's the Part they hope that you're never gonna bother to look up yourself. Now streaming podcasts on Fox 1. Because sometimes the headline is not enough.

So I have a clip that's a little uplifting and then I actually have some happy news from around the world that we can share with everyone. So let's start, guys, with eight.

A little background. I mean, he's a Brazilian doctor who noticed, you know, the hardest part for these children is, you know, the walk up to this surgery. So, you know, he kind of gives them confidence and makes it a more exciting part of their day. You know, thought it was exciting because, you know, it shows just little acts of kindness can completely change, you know, the entire people's days, their weeks, their life.

You're so right. Do you remember when we did that episode on near death experiences with Dr. Jeffrey Long, and he was saying that people who cross over and come back, the ones that had a life review, saw that even just the littlest thing could have such a tremendous positive impact in somebody's life. And I mean, that seems to be a bit more than a little thing, but, but every little, every little good deed, guys, when you can muster it, every single one matters.

Absolutely. Which kind of leads us into our first happy news. So a trio of Indian teens have found a way to remove microplastics from water drinking water. So, you know, last week we kind of covered that over 2.2 billion people lack safely managed drinking water. Well, these Teens, during a visit to a village in India, noticed that they were filling up their water, drinking water, with an old plastic bottles. So knowing that, you know, these, these kids are drinking out of these old plastic water bottles that secrete the microplastics into them, they are decided to create a solution. They developed a biodegradable powder made from tamarind seeds, which actually, when put into the water, it attaches to the microplastics and then can be pulled out with a magnet, creating safe water using no electricity or machinery, just a combination of seeds that combine to the microplastics and get pulled out.

Next one is Japan approves their first stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease. This is actually, it's completely amazing. You know, these doctors in Japan, they have used stem cells and then the stem cells they surgically implant into specific areas of the patient's brain where the dopam neurons have been lost due to the disease. And, you know, clinical testings are showing encouraging results. You know, they plant between 5 million to 10 million cells. And you know, within the two year observation period, out of the seven patients tested, four of it experienced improved symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

So this last one I think is really going to inspire everyone. A young woman, 26 year old, Coletta DeVito, she has down syndrome and she was not able to find any jobs. But every time she would go in to interview, she would always bring, you know, the people that are interviewing her cookies as a way to say thank you for interviewing me. But, you know, she spent years with, you know, unfortunately a lot of doors getting shut on her. But she didn't give up and she eventually decided to open up her own business and she opened up a cookie, a bakery, making cookies. You know, she turned her passion into her job. And you know, she didn't let all of these, you know, doors being shut on her stop her. So she's actually now with her new business, she's hiring other people with disabilities.

I believe they. I'm sure they do. They have been taking orders. She says that they, they're so delicious because they include 100% love. But then she also says it's actually chocolate chip with cinnamon, but, you know, yeah, she said her mom said that she never raised her looking at what she had as limitations. You know, we all have limitations. We just have to find the things that we're good at. And, you know, DeVito said, don't ever give up. Live your dreams and keep doing what you have to do. So I think, you know, to leave our audience with it, you know, there's a lot of stuff we go through that might pull us down, but just know that every step you take, every obstacle is a step towards, you know, having your dream come true. So keep working at it. Never give up and keep doing, you know, find the intersection of what you love and what you're good at and then work your butt off. Good things will happen.
