You know what's easier than fixing a problem? Not having the problem in the first place. Your liver is one of those organs that you don't think about until you have to.

Dose for your liver is a clinically backed liver health supplement. This isn't just another capsule or powder. Dose is a liquid supplement.

One of the things that independents and other people keep on discussing. Not just the utter chaos. Trump's threats, Trump's invasions, Trump's wars around the world, which have been absolutely horrible. But the wars here in the United States. As Trump unleashes his ICE Gestapo, the Trump invasions of Minneapolis. Masked armed people who are dressed in military fatigues, right, are invading our cities, disappearing people, killing people. In addition to Renee Nicole goods murder, which the Department of Justice or injustice refuses to investigate, ICE has now also announced its sixth confirmed detained death of 2026. And it's only January 18th. So by January 18th, ICE has killed seven people, adding Renee Nicole Goode, six people who were in detention centers by ICE, died in these detention centers. And just every day there's, there's more stories like this. Reuters capturing Ice breaking down a door, dragging a man out half naked into freezing cold St. Paul, Twin Cities. According to his sister in law, they returned him after realizing he's a naturalized US Citizen with no criminal record. Now, fortunately, Reuters was there to take the photo. That's how we know about this incident. But what about the countless thousands, tens of thousands of other situations where there are no photographs at all? Now, one of the things that the Department of Justice says it will be focused on is potentially going after Don Lemon. Don Lemon, an independent reporter who's become an independent reporter. He was at a Church in St. Paul where there were protests there, because one of the main leaders of that church also is an ICE officer. So Don Lemon reported from the church while there were protests inside the church. And now the DOJ says they're prosecuting everybody. And they're specifically now looking at Don Lemon for his reporting. Here's how the DOJ said it earlier this morning. Play this clip.

Imagine you have a bank robbery that's being planned by a number of criminals. They're crossing state lines, are using the wires, and then a podcaster says, well, let me embed myself in here and come along for the ride and livestream the crime that would not be protected by the First Amendment. And so it is a crime to disrupt and harass and make people in a church or any house of worship feel unsafe in this country. And when you're part of that planning and show up and ride along and laugh outside about, and make commentary outside about how disrupting and putting people in fear is literally part of protest and part of the plan. You know, we are not reaching conclusions. Now, of course, everybody is entitled to the presumption of innocence, but if I were giving advice to a journalist about this, which I have done in the past, I would say do not participate in a crime act.

And then MAGA Republicans sent their sycophants on the various networks this morning on Martin Luther King Day to talk about how maybe Donald Trump should send in 1500 paratroopers from the army to further invade Minneapolis, in addition to the 3000 ICE and Border Patrol officers who are already there. Let's play this clip.

Legal Expert/Commentator (13:33)

Congressman, I know you said we need to get back to basics as a country. How would it help ease tensions, though, or improve the treatment of law enforcement there on the ground if these troops were sent in? Would that just not make a bad thing even worse?

Congressional Representative (13:48)

I Don't think so. I think we've seen the deployment of federal troops before, whether it was in Los Angeles or other places, as a safety net. As someone that comes in, as a group that comes in once again in full support of local and federal law enforcement and peacefulness. We want to make sure that these radical left wing protesters were going into churches. I felt so bad that lady got killed, but she hit that police officer, caused internal bleeding. That was just so wrong what she was doing. Whether you agree or disagree with law enforcement, you respect law enforcement and you listen to law enforcement. If an officer tells you to stop, you stop. Again, getting back to common sense basics, whether it's on the economy, whether it's on our ethics or ethos, we've got to do that.

And what do you think your congressional.

Role, and I would be remiss in doing this video if I did not mention the DOJ's continued cover up of the Epstein files. You know that we've been reporting on it every day, including we did a video on it this morning. But here's Pam Bondi talking about the. This was Pam Bondi when she was in the Senate being examined a few months back. And she refused to answer the basic questions as we're now in day 31 or 32 of the DOJ's violation of the Epstein Transparency Act. Right. They were supposed to turn over all files December 19th. I wanted to share this with you here. Play this clip right here.

Greenlandic Politician/Activist (15:16)

The rich like the Americans are. See how greedy they are there, even trying to shoot their friends or invade their friends just for greed. And we know that there's minerals and oils possibly in our underground, and that's worth so much more even than that. But even if we didn't have that, we would still not be bought. So everyone here knows about the Inuit in Alaska and all of the native tribes, Indians, American Indians who are there, their land was taken from them and they haven't been treated that well in America. And we know that Trump is very much surrounding himself, at least with white power people. And we are not white, as you can see. We are of color. And so we know our rights probably would be taken away. And we also know that we're very good as we are together.

And just I want you to contrast that with two other things. One, this Greenlandic politician, Tilly Martinussen, who talks about we don't want, you don't understand us in Greenland. So you had Pam Bondi as a leader of the doj. Compare that to a Greenlandic politician here Play this clip.

So who gave the order to flag records related to President Trump?

Greenlandic Politician/Activist (16:32)

To flag records for President Trump to.

Sponsor/Advertisement Voice (16:35)

Flag any records which included his name.

Greenlandic Politician/Activist (16:39)

I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you, Senator.

Sponsor/Advertisement Voice (16:42)

Eventually you're going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will. I yield, Mr. Chairman.

Host/Lead Commentator (16:50)

Then I'll leave you with this. James Talarico on Martin Luther King Day. Of course, he's the Democratic candidate running for Senate in Texas. Listen to what he says. Play it.

James Talarico (16:58)

The worst politicians in America will be quoting Martin Luther King Jr. You can't quote I have a Dream on MLK Day and then legislate against that dream. Every other day of the year.

Host/Lead Commentator (17:16)

Doctor.

James Talarico (17:16)

King described what he called the three evils. Racism, poverty, and war. What would Dr. King say about 10 million children living in poverty in the wealthiest nation on Earth? What would Dr. King say about a maternal mortality rate in Texas, which is three times higher for black women? What would Dr. King say about a new American imperialism seeking to colonize Greenland and Venezuela? And what would Dr. King say about masked men in unmarked vehicles kidnapping people off of our streets? Dr. King dreamed of a world without racism, without poverty, without war. It's the dream that got him killed. And it's the dream that we must make a reality.
