I am dying. I'm dying. Literally screams in his face to a black guy that he's a white supremacist and is part of a white supremacist agenda. Some of his fellow comrades at this protest are like, no, no, this is Don Lemon. Don't you know? He's on our team. He's on our team. Oh, sorry, brother. Let me clap you on the arm. These people are such NPCs, they have no original thoughts for themselves whatsoever. They're all just comrade communist foot soldiers that are paid more often than not to propagandize to the point that they're just, like, violently reactive at all times. They genuinely just want to punch you in the face at all times. And I have no doubt in my mind that that probably would have happened if these church congregants hadn't just left their own congregation on Sunday morning. Somebody probably would have been harassed, violently hurt, punched in the face, destruction of property. Who knows? That is where this is escalating to at all times. Because this level of twisting of empathy to a point that is toxic empathy as beautifully articulated by Ali Beth Stuckey or suicidal empathy if you're more of a gad sad person, which I'm so excited for his book on this subject, by the way. I think it's going to be really interesting. We have gaslit an entire generation of people mostly who are in their 40s and 50s, which is really embarrassing for them to genuinely believe that the only way to be a good person is to literally be a bad person. Like that's the simplest way you could possibly articulate this. And now they're so proud of this behavior. They're so unapologetic about the things that they are doing. They don't realize that they're just outing themselves for being a part of this harassment and this clear violation of other people's First Amendment rights. These people are bragging about it on Facebook. The Facebook grandmas are out there making posts like this one from Nakima Levy Armstrong friends she posts on Facebook. Here is a clip of our demonstration this morning at city's church in St. Paul. David Easterwood is a pastor at this church and the acting field director for the ICE office in St. Paul. It is time for judgment to begin and it will begin in the house of of God. Three exclamation points. Thank you to all of the activists who showed up and independent journalists and then tags all these people. Georgia Fort Don Lemon Dook Farmer 2 Brixton Hughes Special thanks to Monique Cuers, Doty Chantill Allen Satara Strong Allen for co organizing this mission from oh shocking Color me surprised. Black Lives Matter Minnesota and and Black Lives Matter Twin Cities Metro along with Racial Justice Network, Black Fist, Black Prayer Hands, Purple Heart. No wonder they're screaming hands up, don't shoot. Because of course it is the same agitators and so called independent activists and independent journalists who were paid years ago in places like Minneapolis to create chaos and sow distrust and create violence for people to confront all the white people at that time over George Floyd who are now making all of this about Renee Good and so called protecting the Somalis in the community and individuals of minority races who are clearly being targeted by the big bad ICE officers who are just indiscriminately killing people in the streets of Minneapolis. They're tagging these people. They're so unapologetic about it. They genuinely believe that they are on the path to sainthood doing this stuff that they don't care who sees that they're doing it. It's not even like a secret anymore. They're not hiding their faces, they're not wearing ski masks and all the blow up antifa costumes like they used to be in Portland or Seattle. They're very openly bragging about it on Facebook to all of their other grandma friends who have bought into toxic suicidal empathy because they genuinely think this is making you a good person. Back to it in just a second. But first, you guys know that I am an advocate of making informed decisions in my day to day life regardless of what it' about. And the same goes for making our decisions about our health care, understanding the whole world that's out there and making the best choice going forward. Right now is open enrollment season and your insurance company is just betting that you're going to auto renew without asking any questions about your plan or what might work best for you and your family. But you, because you're watching this show, are so much smarter than that. If you are tired of overpriced premiums and confusing fine print, there is such a better way that is out there for you. Our friends at Crowd Health is a community where people fund each other's medical bills directly. There's no middlemen, no networks, no nonsense where you can stop playing the insurance game and take control of your health care again. With Crowd Health, you get health care coverage for under $100 a month. And that's not some bare bones plan with a million different exceptions. That does include access to a dedicated team of health bill negotiators who fight on your behalf discounted prescriptions and lab tests that actually save you money in the long run, and a vetted database of affordable, high quality doctors that are handpicked by Crowd Health. If something really major happens and you need the extra help, you only pay the first $500 and then the Crowd steps in to fund the rest of your medical expenses. It's honestly really what health care used to feel like before everything got way too overcomplicated by a bunch of corporate middlemen. It's a real community of actual people who actually want to help each other with unexpected medical events. You are not just another policy number in some faceless corporations database. So far, Crowd Health members have saved over $40 million in health care expenses because they simply refuse to overpay for care. The system is counting on you to stay stuck in the same overpriced, overcomplicated mess year after year after year. Do not give them the satisfaction. I really started paying attention to how insane the insurance world is back in 2021 when I had a really serious kidney surgery. And the night before I had a major kidney operation. My insurer. Should I name names? No, I won't name names. Called me the night before and said, yeah, we're not going to cover this because this is a wildly unimportant, unnecessary, elective procedure. Yeah, tell that to my literal failing kidney at the time. So this is a subject I'm really, really passionate about, and I am blown away at the impact that crowd health is having this open enrollment season. You can take your power back.

And there's another clip that kind of ties into this that happened over the weekend in Minneapolis. One of these ICE officers rolls down his window and starts communicating with one of these wine mom protesters. God, I cannot stand the freaking wine moms and their allegiance to some of all this insanity. He tells them, do you guys even know what you're protesting? Like, genuinely why I am here as an ICE officer is to arrest child sex offenders. That's literally why I'm here. I'm after one specific person who is a convicted child sex offender to remove him from society and deport him out of our country so that he is not threatening your children and. And your grandchildren. That's who you guys are protecting. Listen to this reporting. We're here to arrest a child sex offender, and you guys are out here honking. No, we're press. That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigations while we're trying to arrest a child sex offender. That's who you guys are protecting. Insane. That's what we're doing. Insane is right. And then you have people screaming at him to move his car. Get out of the way. We're protesting you. We're here to protest you. He's like, yeah, no, crap, you're here to protest me. But what you're actually protesting is to keep convicted child sex offenders in your suburban neighborhoods. All I kept thinking about over the weekend is how I met your mother, which I know sounds silly, but I'll connect the dots, I promise, because it's one of my favorite TV shows. Sadly, despite how it ended, justice for Tracy. Different conversation for a different time. Does no one remember how Marshall Erickson was like the poster child of Minnesota in this show? And the the running gag throughout the entire show is that Minnesota is so polite, out of their way, nice, white, Midwestern polite people who are the nicest people on the planet that to a fault, Marshall would get himself in bad situations because he was so nice to people. Being from St. Cloud, Minnesota, once he helped robbers rob somebody's apartment in New York City because he thought he was helping them move. Or he like loans money to all the homeless people in New York because he feels bad for them and he's genuinely trying to help people. He just has this huge heart and is so empathetic and is so nice. Lily, his wife ends up saying at one point from St. Cloud, Minnesota, Marshall's high school mascot was a hug, which is so cute, right? And so cliche as to what we generally associate with the nice, polite Midwestern attitude that has been completely hijacked and completely taken over by the radical left to turn that into toxic suicidal empathy that now those same people whose high school mascot was a hug and who would regularly go out of their way to help people actually think have been actually gaslit into believing that they are a good person, they are a better person than everybody else in society worthy of bragging about it on Facebook if they are impeding ICE officers from deporting convicted child rapists, convicted child sex offenders, and especially this week, as we start transitioning into the latter half of the week where we're going to be talking a whole lot more about abortion. With the March for Life happening on Friday, my mind also continued over the last few days to drift to the pro life actually peaceful protesters who over the last several years have been jailed, thrown in prison, violently prosecuted by our government for silently or quietly praying outside of abortion facilities over the past few years, especially under the tyrant behavior of President Joe Biden and the Biden doj who weaponized specifically one federal statute, the FACE act, to go after pro lifers who stand outside of abortion facilities and hand out resources saying there is an opportunity to reverse taking the abortion pill, or who hand you a rosary and say take this, it might make your life so much better. And I am praying for you people who are silently praying or quietly praying gathering outside of abortion facilities have literally been thrown in prison by the Biden DOJ for disrupting the peace in society. But that same piece of legislation allegedly is also supposed to protect houses of worship and churches. And now you're seeing this behavior happen and not a peep, not a peep from Joe Biden, not a peep from Kamala Harris, not a peep from any Democrat member of Congress, not a single member of the Biden doj. No one in the mainstream media is like, hey, remember the Face act that we've been so ridiculously politically obsessed with for the past few years, Especially this week when we're going to be talking a whole lot more about abortion. No one has anything to say about the Face Act. No one on the left, I should say, being used to protect houses of worship. And people are starting to put two and two together here saying there's a really weird double standard happening right now in our American justice system, actually creating two tiers of justice for what is politically expedient versus what is actually morally right. Tony x2 tweeted this. So you're telling me that you can't pray in front of an abortion clinic without going to prison, but you can storm into some churches and shut down their services scot free? Read that again. Someone else also found a clip from a few years ago of pro lifers who were quietly praying at an abortion clinic in the hallway of the building in which this abortion clinic is housed. Reminder that Biden's Department of Justice threw these pro life Christians in prison. And these are just a few of the many who were thrown in prison over the past few years under federal statutes like the Face act for disrupting the peace and how this isn't actually covered under the first Amendment. O glory be to Christ our King O glory be to Christ. All Glory be to Christ. Singing beautifully, quietly, peacefully in a hallway lands you a federal prison sentence. But disrupting those who are freely worshiping Christ in a supposedly Christian country and a free society. Nothing. Not a peep. Not a single prominent left wing individual in this country saying a word. In fact, to the contrary. Look at Don Lemon tripling, quadrupling, quintupling down on this behavior and upholding it as actual empathy, which is insane. It's interesting to think about, by the way, the fact that the Face act was originally intended to go after pro lifers and that was the the original reason for this law being introduced as a bill in Congress. Of course, politically you need to make some concessions here and there. So the only way that this was actually able to be passed is if they also included that it protects people's houses of worship, which seems so unrelated to one another, until you realize that abortion actually is a theology. To many of these people, their religion and their worship just happens to be child sacrifice instead of the sacrifice of the Eucharist. But it's fascinating how those two things alone got thrown into this particular law and now represent such a powerful double standard in our society. But it's becoming so abundantly clear to me, and I hope it is to you as well, that this is point blank a problem of virtue and it is a problem of religion in society. It has never been more obvious to me that without Jesus Christ we lack a common moral code for society, period, full stop. And there is a reason that we see the people who are attempting to foment chaos and foment violence and create division in our society consistently are going to after churches. It might seem initially unrelated when you think about during the BLM Summer of Love, mostly peaceful protests happening all over the country, that St. John's Church here in D.C. was targeted with arson, was burned down by these insane radical protesters, or the mass shooting that we just saw at Annunciation Catholic School in Michigan, specifically targeting Catholic school children, which we now know is inherently reality, based on the manifesto from the trans shooter behind all of the violence. These things might seem unrelated or disconnected or part of different problems happening in society. But this, the targeting of a church to what protest? Ice, to give the middle finger, metaphorically to Donald Trump, to just create chaos for the sake of creating chaos. This is no different. It doesn't matter what issue they're protesting or what the mainstream political problem of the day is. The only thing that matters, the only thing is that the issue they are protesting, whatever that issue be, transgenderism, blm, anti ice, whatever, is more important. It matters more than our common shared humanity that is rooted in Christ. Whether the ism is climate alarmism or racism or sexism, you name it, all of the isms are a theology and they're all wrong, except Catholicism, of course. But, you know, that's just my prerogative. All of the isms are a theology. And I think that's the mentality that we have to start wrapping our head around here is that the religious level of fanaticism that we are seeing from these people is only that way because they treat reverence for this type of behavior as comparable to reverence for Christ. And when we are intentionally removing Jesus from society and we're saying we are not a Christian country. We do not have a common, shared faith. We are not one nation under God. We have stripped away the basic foundation, foundation of a shared moral code, which is why these people actually believe they are being good people. It is inherently creating an idol out of your new theology that is always, always, always rooted in the replacement of our submission to God and our common, shared humanity as made in his image with whatever the latest fad is that elevates the God of self. Because ultimately you're saying my race is more important than my common, shared humanity. My sex is more important than my common shared humanity. The planet is more important than my common, shared humanity. X, Y, Z. And what's really scary is that these people don't actually care at this point. We've seen this escalate over the last few years. They don't care about what the consequences are anymore. They don't care about the damage that it inflicts on other people. Because again, they're the good guys. Anyone who remotely counters their narrative or doesn't embrace the same level of fanaticism as them is a bad guy. All of this got started at this particular church over the weekend when people began doxxing. One of the pastors of this church, and I don't actually know if he is indeed an ICE officer or the lead agent of the local ICE agency in the St. Paul area, the Twin Cities region. I don't know. The mainstream media doesn't seem to know. I think all of that will come to fruition in the next few days. But posts like this one have been going incredibly viral over the past few days from activists. This particular person, Blazin Batty, is just a pharmacy technician or a pharmacy tech probably in Minnesota, who tweeted David Easterwood with a picture of him is one of the pastors at City's Church, a Christian church based in the Twin Cities region. He is listed among the pastoral leadership on the church's official leadership page. David Easterwood is serving in a leadership role with the local ICE agency in Minnesota. He's the Acting Field Office Director for Enforcement and Removal operations for the U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement in St. Paul, Minnesota, which means he oversees ICE enforcement activity in Minnesota and the surrounding states. You don't get to preach Christianity on Sunday and help terrorize immigrant communities Monday through Saturday without people questioning your morals. Faith that excuses cruelty, fear and state violence isn't faith, it's branding. What do you think the intention of a tweet like that actually is? To raise awareness? I don't think so. And it's not even just about this pastor anymore. You saw in those clips, proudly put out by those protesting a church service, how they treated the congregants in the audience. They don't care what the impact is anymore. The more crazy, the more viral, the more outrageous the outcome of these stunts, the better, actually. And I have a very sinking feeling that this isn't going to be the last time that churches are targeted over this stuff. Even if the church itself, the congregation, the denomination, or just Christianity has anything to do with the thing that you are actually talking about more often than not, I doubt that it does, but again, always stems from these other isms becoming your theology instead of your faith in God. Matt Van Swell, who has been doing amazing work by the way, tweeted out a few days ago about his experience dealing with all of these leftist protesters. As a former leftist himself, and he said this I'm always saddened when people ask me where I go to church because I know I can't tell them the church and congregation would be targeted by the left like this, like what we just saw in Minneapolis, and it wouldn't be fair to them. If you are barging into churches screaming at people, you are not the good guy. He's right, tragically. And I shudder to think about how many other congregations are going to be targeted because a certain Congressman happens to go there and they don't like the fact that he's a Republican or they're largely pro life. My church, my beautiful parish that I go to here in the D.C. area is incredibly rooted in our Catholic faith and prayed multiple times during Mass over the weekend about the March for Life happening on Friday? That our country embrace a culture of life and find common dignity in all humanity created in the image of God. How long until radical pro abortion protesters start infiltrating churches and attacking pro life congregants at Catholic parishes around the country? I think this is going to be a whole lot more normal and it certainly isn't going away in pop culture or the mainstream conversation anytime soon. Nicki Minaj herself is even starting to weigh in on all of this, regardless of whether you agree with her or not, tweeted this Don Lemon is disgusting. How dare you. I want that thug in jail. You. He would never do that to any other religion. Lock him up. All in caps with a whole lot of exclamation points. So I'm anxious to see what church looks like this Sunday. Interestingly, how the government is responding is one totally rooted in reality, and I am incredibly grateful for how the DOJ is going after this thing. As of yesterday, the DOJ said that they will be going after these protesters and Don Lemon specifically with the fullest extent, extent of the law. Pam Bondi tweeted this yesterday. I just spoke to the pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law. If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, the Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails. And don't we love a good bit of irony. Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General, joined the Benny Johnson show yesterday. I think it's just. It's called Benny, actually. But joined Benny Johnson on his show to announce that they would be prosecuting Don Lemon in some capacity under federal law, more likely than not under the Ku Klux Klan act, which is just poetic justice if I've ever heard it myself. Take a listen to this.
