Steven Crowder references a CNN poll indicating the Democrats' favorable view has plummeted to a record low.

[14:41] Gerald: "A brand new exclusive CNN poll that paints a brutal reality for Democrats as they struggle to mount a unified opposition to President Trump. Americans favorable views of the Democratic Party brand are at a record low, just 29%."

6. Immigration and the Alien Enemies Act of 1798

[54:14] Gerald: "President Trump has invoked a wartime law known as the enemies act of 1798 to help speed up mass deportations in our country."

[55:09] Steven Crowder: "The fact that he bragged to like 19 people in his neighborhood and showed them documented proof like this, the picture. I kill him, put his head on a turtle. Right. That's cool."

[49:05] Steven Crowder: "All references available link in the description the Alien enemies Act of 1789 is still relevant and should be applied here."

They argue that the left's focus on social issues like gender identity and immigration detracts from addressing the needs of the American worker and taxpayer.

[26:57] Steven Crowder: "If you don't know, that's the right answer. That is the right."

8. Conclusion: A Bright Future for America

Crowder wraps up the discussion by reiterating his optimism for America's future, attributing it to policies that prioritize national interests and reduce governmental overreach.
