Episode Title: Dem Propaganda and Lies Will Get Americans Killed
Host: Miranda Devine
Date: March 27, 2026
Podcast: Pod Force One (New York Post)

Overview

In this topical mini-episode, Miranda Devine delivers a pointed critique of leading Democrats, mainstream media, and progressive narratives surrounding U.S. immigration enforcement, specifically Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The episode centers on Devine’s contention that "Democrat lies" and the media’s amplification of their narratives have grave consequences, distorting public perception, undermining institutions, and fueling real-world violence.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Core Argument: "Democrat Lies" and Their Consequences

Devine frames the episode as a "lament" about what she calls the “rancid lies” told by Democrats about ICE and law enforcement (00:01).
She draws a direct line from these narratives to increased polarization and political violence:

“Democrat lies Will Get Us Killed; the false narratives they peddle...distort reality and poison people's minds.” (00:51)

2. ICE Agents at Airports – Narrative vs. Reality

Devine rebuts recent claims from Democratic leaders (Richard Blumenthal, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer) that ICE agents working to assist at airports could "brutalise and kill you and kidnap your children." (02:17)
She describes these claims as incendiary and baseless, emphasizing examples of ICE agents helping travelers by “giving stranded passengers bottles of water, helping with their luggage and performing tasks that free up TSA workers,” (03:12) amidst delays attributed to funding decisions made by Democrats.

3. The Strategy of Smear

The characterization of ICE as “Gestapo, white supremacists, Nazis, and secret police” is described as an intentional strategy to turn the public against the agency (03:50).
Devine posits that President Trump's move to place ICE in airports is exposing the public to the everyday humanity of these agents, countering the negative portrayals.

4. Political Threats Against Law Enforcement

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s public vow to “jail ICE agents working at the airport” if they replicate actions “like…in Minneapolis” is highlighted as an example of Democrats using threats and “abuse of power” (04:30).
“The president cannot pardon you and yes, I will put you in handcuffs and I will put you in a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this airport anything like you did the streets of Minneapolis…” —Paraphrasing Larry Krasner (04:45)

5. Media and Institutional Narrative Control

Devine singles out John Brennan (former Obama CIA Director) as a “pathological liar,” referencing his recent CNN appearance where he said:

“I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump.” — John Brennan (05:45)
She criticizes Brennan’s alleged role in the Hunter Biden laptop controversy and the CIA’s 2016 Russia intelligence assessment, arguing he knowingly promoted misinformation because it “rang true” to him (06:05).
“Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?” — Paraphrasing John Brennan (06:20)

6. Broader Media Complicity

The episode critiques Democratic lawmakers (Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff) and “their slavish legal minions” for enabling false narratives and covering up Democratic misdeeds, from “Russian agent” allegations against Trump to claims that “the border is closed” or the Afghanistan withdrawal was a success (06:45).
The relationship between Democrats and sympathetic media is highlighted as a “feedback loop” that perpetuates misinformation.

7. The Chicago Case: Media and Political Responses to Tragedy

Devine recounts the murder of an 18-year-old student in Chicago by “an illegal migrant from Venezuela,” criticizing Illinois Governor JP Pritzker for attributing the crime to “failures in comprehensive immigration reform” and President Trump’s enforcement priorities (07:40).
Local alderman Maria Haddon is called out for her victim-blaming statement and subsequent apology.

“Gorman and friends, quote, might have unintentionally startled a masked gun toting Medina into allegedly jumping out of the bushes and shooting Gorman in the back as she ran away from him.” — Paraphrasing Maria Haddon (08:12)

8. Language Manipulation and Institutional Bias

The Phoenix, Loyola’s student newspaper, is criticized for apologizing after using “illegal migrant,” suggesting that such wording no longer “aligns with Associated Press style” or the paper’s values, and instead referring to the suspect as a “25 year old Rogers park resident” (08:45–09:05).
Devine argues that this is representative of a wider trend of media institutions adopting language that “institutionalizes Democrat lies” (09:10).

9. Political Dishonesty as Norm

A brief section lists examples of personal or minor dishonesty among notable Democratic figures (Elizabeth Warren, Tim Waltz, Joe Biden), arguing they contribute to a “miasma of dishonesty” (09:15).
The cumulative effect, Devine asserts, is a national environment riddled with division and political violence.

10. Final Message: Recognition and Gratitude

Miranda Devine urges listeners to “free yourself from lies” and thank ICE officers and unpaid TSA agents, offering a call for personal skepticism and gratitude rather than falling for partisan narratives (09:35).

Memorable Quotes

On the power of narrative:

“Democrat lies Will Get Us Killed; the false narratives they peddle through their media handmaidens end up distorting reality and poisoning people’s minds.” (00:51)
On John Brennan:

“I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump.” — John Brennan on CNN, referenced by Miranda (05:45)
“Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?” — Paraphrasing Brennan’s rationale for including the Steele dossier (06:20)
On institutional language:

“Pretending that the legal definition of illegal aliens is a slur is a Democrat lie that has been institutionalized into journalism, care of the AP style book, the bible for politically correct language in newsrooms across the country.” (09:10)

democrat lies Will Get Us Killed the false narratives they peddle through their media handmaidens end up distorting reality and poisoning people's minds. Exhibit A is their rancid defamation campaign about immigration enforcement agents, which mirrors precisely their long running lies about systemically racist police which led to the deadly riots of 2020 and defund the police policies which drove up the homicide rate and endangered communities across the country. We see how it all works this week as the mendacious trio of Connecticut Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his Sen counterpart Chuck Schumer claimed in unison that ICE agents helping ease TSA lines at airport this week will, quote, brutalise and kill you and kidnap your children. In fact, ICE agents are kindly giving stranded passengers bottles of water, helping with their luggage and performing tasks that free up TSA workers who have just missed their third paycheck. Thanks to the Democrats. The three hour delays Americans have to endure to get through airport security are music to their ears regardless of the inconvenience and potential safety risks. They just pretend it's all Donald Trump's fault. The sole aim of Democrats is to punish Americans for voting Trump into office. They get away with it by shameless lying and then pretending that they are paragons of truthfulness. They smear ICE agents as Gestapo, white supremacists, Nazis and secret police with the objective of turning the American public against them. President Trump's gambit of placing ICE in airports to ease the pain of travelers is a challenge to the lies because now people can see the agents and not the monsters that have been painted. After the lies come the threats from Democrats who abuse their power of office as regularly as they breathe. The Soros backed, criminal loving Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner this week, for instance, vowed to jail ICE agents working at the airport. The president cannot pardon you and yes, I will put you in handcuffs and I will put you in a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this airport anything like you did the streets of Minneapolis which involved the criminal homicide of unarmed innocent people. End quote. Democrat lies created the mayhem in Minneapolis where ICE agents trying to deport criminal illegal aliens, including child rapists, were besieged by mobs of protesters driven insane by a false narrative that they were molesting law abiding migrants and US citizens with brown skin. One of the most malign Democrat fabulists is pathological liar and many times disgraced Obama CIA Director John Brennan who told CNN this week that he takes the word of a terrorist state bent on destroying the US over the word of the American President. Quote, I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump. This is the guy instrumental in pushing the Dirty51 letter to interfere with the 2020 election by falsely claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation to get candidate Joe Biden off the corruption hook. Nobody believes anything this Russia hoaxer says. A recent CIA review of corrupted 2016 intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference found that Brennan forced the inclusion of the farcically false Steele dossier against the objections of CIA Moscow experts who told him it did not meet even the most basic tradecraft standards. Yes, but doesn't it ring true? Replied Brennan. And thus the coup against the newly elected Trump was launched. Democrat lawmakers like Jamie Raskin and Adam Schiff and their slavish legal minions used their silver tongues to tell the most corrosive lies and cover up Democrat crimes. Whether it's falsely accusing Trump of being a Russian agent and inciting an insurrection, or lying that Joe Biden was innocent despite slam dunk evidence that he was up to his neck in his family's lucrative foreign influence peddling or pretending, quote, the border is closed and that the botched Afghanistan withdrawal was a success, or claiming that defunding the police will make communities safer, they always find a way to excuse the inexcusable and flip the script. Somehow they managed to fool their followers and their willfully gullible media allies. Take the dissembling Illinois governor and Nepo baby JP Pritzker, who this week blamed Trump for the shooting murder of an 18 year old Loyola Chicago student by an illegal migrant from Venezuela who is another one of Biden's catch and release killers. The murder resulted from national failures, a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the President to go after the worst of the wor, said Pritzker. Shameless from a governor who refuses to cooperate with ICE Pritzker's Democrat stablemate, local Chicago alderman Maria Haddon, doubled down by blaming the victim for being in the wrong place, wrong time. Gorman was walking with friends on the Chicago Lakeshore where Pritzker once filmed a video extolling the safety of his crime ridden sanctuary city. Haddon said Gorman and friends, quote, might have unintentionally startled a masked gun toting Medina into a allegedly jumping out of the bushes and shooting Gorman in the back as she ran away from him. Hadden later apologised, but her point was clear. Don't blame the Democrats for sanctuary city policies. It's your own fault if you get killed. Democrat lies are so pervasive that they somehow convinced the Loyola campus newspaper the Phoenix to issue an apology for its coverage of Gorman's murder, saying it was wrong to describe Medina as an illegal migrant. That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper. The Phoenix changed its description of Medina to The euphemism quote, 25 year old Rogers park resident pretending that the legal definition of illegal aliens is a slur is a Democrat lie that has been institutionalized into journalism, care of the AP style book, the bible for politically correct language in newsrooms across the country. Then there are the little cheating, self aggrandizing lies that Dems like Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren and Tim Stolen Valor Waltz and Joe Corn Pop Biden indulge in. They don't necessarily kill anyone, but they add to the miasma of dishonesty we are drowning in. At their worst, Democrat lives that are laundered for years through once trusted media institutions are the cause of the polarization and political violence that is tearing this country apart. The next time you see an ICE officer at the airport or an unpaid TSA agent, free yourself from lies and tell them. Thank you. Thanks for listening. I'll be back with another mini episode on Monday. Hope you can tune in and enjoy the rest of your week.
