Redacted News: "This is NOT Normal" Trump Just Destroyed the Woke Mob as Dems in Disarray | Redacted News Live
Release Date: March 6, 2025
Introduction
In this episode of Redacted News Live, hosts Clayton Morris and Natalie Morris delve into the aftermath of President Donald Trump's fifth State of the Union (SOTU) address. The discussion centers on the apparent disarray within the Democratic Party, Trump's impactful stance against what they term the "woke mob," and the broader implications for American politics moving forward. Additionally, the episode explores recent diplomatic developments involving the United States and Hamas, a significant Supreme Court ruling affecting USAID funding, and groundbreaking bipartisan efforts in Arizona to eliminate toxic chemicals from school lunches.
State of the Union Address and Democratic Disarray
[00:51] Clayton Morris opens the discussion by highlighting the chaotic response from Democrats following Trump's SOTU address. He notes the lack of unity within the party, with some Democrats labeling the address a disaster while others criticized it for not being forceful enough.
Clayton Morris [01:05]: "You have many Democrats saying this was a disaster for Democrats, holding up signs, being all performative while others saying they didn't go far enough, they should have stormed out of that chamber."
This split showcases a broader struggle within the Democratic Party to present a cohesive opposition to Trump's policies. [07:32] Natalie Morris adds that Democrats have been unable to agree on their core messages, leading to inconsistent and often performative responses.
Natalie Morris [08:20]: "We want lower prices, but not like this. We want a more efficient government, but not like this."
The hosts discuss how this disarray may hinder the Democrats' ability to effectively counter Trump's agenda in the coming months, potentially allowing Trump greater legislative and executive freedom.
Diplomatic Discussions with Hamas
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the United States' unprecedented move to engage in diplomatic talks with Hamas, despite ongoing ceasefire violations by Israel. [02:57] Natalie Morris questions the rationale behind this approach, especially when contrasting it with the U.S. strategy in Ukraine.
Natalie Morris [02:01]: "Would the United States apply the same paradigm that they're trying to use to get peace in Ukraine to Israel? This is crazy."
Clayton Morris emphasizes the perceived hypocrisy, pointing out that while the U.S. is willing to negotiate with Hamas, Israel continues aggressive actions, undermining the potential for a balanced peace process.
Clayton Morris [02:57]: "Now it looks like we may actually get some of that from the Trump administration as they are now opening a dialogue with Hamas, which we never thought we would see."
Eric Eggers, co-host of the Ron Paul Liberty Report, joins the conversation, applauding Trump's unique position to broker peace due to his strong pro-Israel stance. However, he raises concerns about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's resistance to ceasefires and the potential fallout from simultaneous diplomatic efforts with Iran.
Eric Eggers [24:22]: "If Netanyahu thinks he's gonna do it, I think he's got another thing coming."
The discussion underscores the complexities and potential conflicts arising from the U.S.'s new diplomatic initiatives in the Middle East.
Supreme Court Ruling on USAID Funding
Another critical topic is the recent Supreme Court decision involving Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, and her siding with liberal justices to unfreeze USAID funds earmarked for foreign countries. [35:17] Clayton Morris expresses frustration over the ruling, viewing it as a betrayal of executive authority.
Clayton Morris [39:41]: "The Supreme Court basically told the Trump administration you've got to send American taxpayer dollars overseas for like, circumcisions in Uganda. This is outrageous to me."
Grace Price, investigative journalist and producer of "Cancer, a Foodborne Illness," provides a more optimistic take, suggesting the ruling is a narrow legal decision rather than a ideological shift.
Grace Price [43:00]: "I think it's okay for multiple voices to have their say in this, as the Supreme Court did today."
The hosts debate the potential for appeals and the broader implications for U.S. foreign aid policies, weighing the Court's decision against the Trump administration's stance on foreign funding.
Arizona's Bipartisan Ban on Toxic Chemicals in School Lunches
A beacon of consensus appears in Arizona, where the state House voted unanimously to ban toxic chemicals from school lunches. [35:22] Mel K, an independent journalist and author, and Grace Price discuss the significance of this bipartisan achievement.
Grace Price [53:32]: "We're hoping that this bill inspires other states to follow suit in protecting our children's health."
Daniel McAdams, co-host of the Ron Paul Liberty Report, elaborates on the harmful effects of chemicals like ruminated vegetable oil, artificial dyes, and endocrine disruptors found in school meals. These substances are linked to increased risks of cancer, attention deficit disorders, and hormonal disruptions in children.
Daniel McAdams [53:07]: "The worst part is these cafeterias aren't even using their kitchen anymore. This food looks like something that my friend would have gone and bought from a Jimmy John's."
The unanimous vote in Arizona serves as a potential model for other states to prioritize children's health over the processed food industry's lobbying efforts.
Personal Anecdotes and Broader Implications
Throughout the episode, Clayton and Natalie share personal stories and observations to underscore the dire state of school lunches in the U.S. They contrast their experiences in countries like Portugal, where school lunches are fresh and wholesome, with the highly processed and chemically laden meals served in American schools.
Clayton Morris [57:36]: "What the hell are we doing? It's disgusting."
These anecdotes illustrate the broader issue of corporate influence in government policies, particularly how food conglomerates push harmful products into schools for profit, often at the expense of children's health.
Conclusion
The episode concludes with a blend of frustration and cautious optimism. While the Democratic Party struggles to present a united front against Trump's policies, significant strides like Arizona's school lunch reform offer hope. The hosts emphasize the importance of grassroots movements and independent journalism in combating entrenched corporate interests and advocating for genuine political change.
Daniel McAdams [65:04]: "RFK Jr. has to continue to push for these issues regardless of the backlash because it's just absurd that people would have any kind of pushback right now."
Redacted News Live underscores the ongoing battle between preserving truth and countering propaganda, championing the need for informed citizenry and transparent governance.
