00:30Populated by Democrats, in a city that voted 92.5% for Kamala Harris.
00:39My neighbors are civil servants, public administration employees and immigrants from Latin America.
00:48A progressive microcosm that will very quickly find itself targeted by the administration.
00:56I have a front row seat to observe those who make the decisions and those who suffer the consequences.
01:04Because the president announced it from the outset, his revenge would be terrible.
01:11Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States, the honorable Donald John Trump.
01:17Day one of the new Trump administration.
01:26In one hour, the president-elect signs more executive orders than his predecessor did in half a term.
01:34The first item that President Trump is signing is a freeze on all federal hiring.
01:41The next item here is the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Treaty.
01:52The former reality TV star turns the inauguration into a wrestling halftime show.

02:27You can't drive me like that.
02:29You can't drive me like that.
02:32Within 48 hours of Donald Trump's
02:34return to power,
02:36538 people
02:37are arrested by immigration police
02:40in Washington, New York,
02:42Philadelphia, Boston
02:43and Seattle.
02:44Come on, man!
02:47Come on!
02:50I'm not taking her!
02:52Take her!
02:53Do not take her!
02:55My mommy!
02:57We'll work it out!
02:58We'll work it out!
03:04Mount Pleasant, my neighborhood,
03:06is not only a neighborhood of white
03:08democratic civil servants.
03:10It is also
03:12a Latino neighborhood.
03:15Very quickly,
03:16a number of signal groups
03:18are created in my neighborhood
03:20to exchange information about the situation.
03:24For my neighbors' safety,
03:27the names of people and groups
03:28have been changed.
03:31I receive an alert.
03:33An ICE raid
03:34has just taken place at the end of my street,
03:37at my hairdressers.
03:39The arrests begin.
03:46Three blocks away
03:48is the school
03:49my children attend.
03:50A bilingual English-Spanish
03:53public school.
03:55On my neighborhood
03:56mom's chat group,
03:58I ask,
03:59can ICE
04:01get inside the school?
04:03The answer is yes.
04:06There are no longer sanctuary places.
04:09Hospitals,
04:10places of worship,
04:11courtrooms,
04:12schools,
04:14immigration police can now enter anywhere.
04:18during the same period,
04:20during the same period,
04:20my neighbors begin losing their jobs.
04:22In one house out of three,
04:25someone has lost their job.
04:31tens of thousands of civil servants are fired,
04:35accused of having wasted public money.
04:43Employees are escorted out by security guards.
04:46They have no more than 15 minutes
04:47to collect their belongings
04:49before being put outside
04:51in front of the cameras.
05:00under Trump too,
05:02cruelty is not an accident,
05:04but an end in itself.
05:06I'm facing job loss
05:08and here my health insurance
05:10and his health insurance
05:11is tied toward work.
05:13So I don't know what will happen.
05:15It's horrible.
05:17Yeah.
05:18We've dedicated our life to service
05:19and this is how they're treating us.
05:21It's disgusting.
05:22When honor is gone,
05:24my love.
05:26When honor is gone,
05:29in the darkest hour,
05:30hope lingers on,
05:32my country.
05:34When justice is gone,
05:36my country.
05:37In this small gathering,
05:39one woman catches my eye.
05:41In the darkest hour,
05:42hope lingers on,
05:44they'll fly.
05:44I don't know why,
05:46but I put down my camera
05:47to photograph her.
05:49Perhaps something
05:50of a Jane Fonda vibe.
05:54A few weeks later,
05:56I happen to see my Jane Fonda again
05:58at the federal courthouse
06:00in Washington.
06:02Today,
06:02it is the president's
06:04second favorite target
06:05fighting for its survival.
06:07The press.
06:10So the case that we just left from
06:13was the one around
06:14the Associated Press
06:15not being allowed into
06:17the various events
06:18at the White House.
06:19We're flying over right now.
06:20The Trump administration
06:21has cut off all access
06:23for Associated Press journalists
06:25and photographers
06:26to punish them.
06:28The international news agency
06:30continues to call
06:31the Gulf of Mexico
06:32Gulf of Mexico
06:34and not Gulf of America
06:36as the president has renamed it.
06:40Jane is actually named Donna
06:42and her husband is Don.
06:44They come from Austin, Texas.
06:47They gave up their quiet retirement
06:49to move here,
06:50attend every protest
06:51and sit in on hearings
06:53like today's.
06:55We are very scared
06:57at what's happening.
06:58We didn't expect
06:59this to be happening so quickly,
07:02what they've been able to do
07:03just through executive orders
07:05by virtue of what the president
07:07has demanded.
07:08And so we are here
07:10so that we as American citizens
07:12can bear witness
07:13to what is happening
07:15in our country.
07:17Questioning of media representatives
07:19is frequent
07:20at the start of this term.
07:22And nothing but the truth,
07:24so help you God.
07:26I film the hearing
07:27of the heads of public broadcasting,
07:30NPR radio,
07:31and PBS television
07:32before a congressional investigative committee
07:35chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
07:41The Republican representative
07:43from Georgia
07:44is known for her explosive temperament,
07:46her sometimes conspiratorial views,
07:49and her devotion to President Trump.
07:51And in 2022,
07:53I'm going to blow away
07:54the Democrat socialist agenda.
08:06She accuses public broadcasting
08:09of pushing trans proselytism
08:11on children.
08:12Like featuring a drag queen
08:14on the show,
08:16Let's Learn.
08:17a show targeted toward young children
08:20ages three to eight years old.
08:23This means that PBS
08:24is one of the founders
08:26of the trans child abuse industry.
08:30The program from which
08:31this photo was taken
08:32was never broadcast
08:33on PBS public television.
08:36No matter.
08:37Their progressive
08:37or rather communist agenda.
08:39between speaking turns,
08:43I have the impression
08:44that the woman
08:45everyone here calls
08:46by her initials,
08:47MTG,
08:48is glancing in my direction.
08:52I look around.
08:54Her partner
08:55is sitting just to my left.
08:57That is Brian Glenn,
08:59the president's
09:00favorite journalist.
09:02He has followed Trump
09:03since 2016
09:04in the United States,
09:06abroad,
09:07at all his rallies
09:08and at each of his trials.
09:10A few days before
09:11sitting next to me
09:12in this congressional
09:13hearing room,
09:14he was in the Oval Office
09:15with Volodymyr Zelensky.
09:17Why don't you wear a suit?
09:18You're at the highest level
09:19in this country's office
09:21and you refuse to wear a suit.
09:23I just want to see
09:23if you do own a suit.
09:25Yeah.
09:25Yeah.
09:26Problems.
09:26A lot of Americans
09:27have problems with you.
09:29I don't have such.
09:31I will wear a costume
09:33after this war will finish.
09:35Okay.
09:35Yes.
09:36Maybe something like yours.
09:39Yes.
09:40Maybe something better.
09:42I don't know.
09:43I tell myself
09:44that these are the people
09:45I need to find a way
09:47to approach,
09:48to try to understand
09:49the MAGA world's obsession
09:51with retribution.
09:53At the exit,
09:54an impromptu press conference
09:56takes shape.
09:57Anybody else?
09:58Should the defense secretary...
09:59What country are you...
09:59Wait, what country are you from?
10:01From the UK?
10:01Okay, we don't give a crap
10:03about your opinion
10:03and you're reporting.
10:05Why don't you go back
10:06to your country
10:06where you have a major
10:07migrant problem?
10:08We're talking about fake news
10:09that was funded
10:10with federal funding
10:12from American taxpayers.
10:14That's what this is about today.
10:15Not journalists
10:16from the UK
10:17that should care about their lives.
10:18A journalist is being billified.
10:19My attempt to make contact
10:21stops there.
10:23For the moment.
10:25Soon after,
10:26at the White House,
10:27I run into
10:28Marjorie Taylor Greene's partner,
10:30Brian Glenn.
10:30Can you tell me about your media?
10:33What's Real America's Voice?
10:35Yeah.
10:35I would say Real America's Voice
10:37will reach millions,
10:39tens of millions,
10:40every day across this country.
10:42And I'd say our core viewership
10:44is really someone
10:45that puts the MAGA agenda,
10:48the Christian,
10:49kind of a nationalist,
10:50a populist,
10:51people that are really in touch
10:52with this country.
10:53They love this country.
10:55This is Real America's Voice,
10:57and we're everywhere.
10:58From 5 a.m. to midnight,
11:00we're covering the stories
11:01that matter all day,
11:02every day.
11:03At 10 a.m.,
11:04War Room with Steve Bannon.
11:06Uncensored and unfiltered.
11:07Middays brings
11:08The Charlie Kirk Show.
11:09And on the weekends,
11:10even more power and faith.
11:12I think I was the first
11:13new media outlet in history
11:16from the White House
11:17to actually travel on Air Force One.
11:19New media is the term coined
11:22to name all the newly credentialed
11:24pro-Trump media.
11:25All the way to turning point...
11:27The MAGA world
11:27has its newspeak.
11:29Some words appear,
11:31others are banned.
11:38The new authorities
11:39are cleaning up the websites
11:40of public administrations.
11:438,000 pages containing
11:45one or more of these words
11:47are deleted.
11:50Women.
11:52Gender.
11:54Equality.
11:56Politics.
11:58Expression.
12:00Slavery.
12:02Black.
12:08At the bottom of 16th Street,
12:11in front of the square
12:12bordering the White House,
12:13huge yellow letters
12:15are torn out of the asphalt
12:16with jackhammers.
12:19Black Lives Matter.
12:22The three words disappear
12:23in a matter of hours.
12:25And with them,
12:26the assertion of racial equality,
12:28the slogan of the 2020 protests
12:31against police violence.
12:36By order of the president.
12:41I just wanted to collect it
12:42because I think it's a beautiful
12:43part of history
12:44that we're taking away.
12:45and, yeah,
12:47I just wanted something
12:48to remember for it.
12:54I am struck by the absence
12:56of demonstrations.
12:57The absence of resistance
12:59in a city that is more
13:00than 40% black.
13:02A woman, alone,
13:04holds a banner.
13:06She's crying.
13:14for four months.
13:15For four months,
13:16for four months,
13:16I tried to tell people
13:17about Project 2025.
13:20But people just did not hit.
13:21I don't know why people,
13:22I don't know why people did not,
13:26why people did not take it seriously.
13:32Nadine camped on this square in 2020.
13:34a woman.
13:35Part of America was crying out in anger
13:37after the death of George Floyd,
13:40an African-American man killed
13:41by a police officer in Minneapolis.
13:44Born in Trinidad and Tobago,
13:46in the Caribbean,
13:47Nadine became an American citizen
13:4930 years ago,
13:51almost to the day.
13:53My story is,
13:54I bought into this American BS.
13:58I was sold on American exceptionalism.
14:01I was sold on American checks and balances.
14:03I was sold on, you know,
14:06the nonsense.
14:07And I am learning after 37 years here,
14:10it is a farce.
14:11It's a joke.
14:13And I am not going to be part of it.
14:15So I am going back
14:16to my original shithole country,
14:19which is Trinidad and Tobago,
14:20because my original shithole country
14:22is not fascist.
14:29The president has big plans
14:31for the federal capital,
14:33now blossoming with construction projects.
14:37The man holding Washington's architectural destiny
14:40in his hands is this one,
14:43Justin Shubo,
14:44the president's architecture advisor.
14:48When Thomas Jefferson talked about the U.S. Capitol,
14:52he said it was the first temple
14:55to the sovereignty of the people,
14:57built using Athenian taste
15:00for people looking far beyond Athenian destinies.
15:06As head of the commission of fine arts under Trump I,
15:09he authored a series of executive orders,
15:13imposing the classical style
15:14on all public building construction.
15:19Make federal architecture beautiful again.
15:24Talking about beautifying federal buildings.
15:28Right.
15:28Isn't beautiful very subjective?
15:30No, I don't think it's subjective.
15:33I think there is widespread agreement
15:35among the general public
15:37about which buildings are beautiful,
15:39which buildings are ugly.
15:40And in fact,
15:42there are surveys backing this up.
15:45But before constructing buildings
15:48inspired by neo-Roman
15:50or neo-Greek styles,
15:51the capitol's brutalist buildings
15:54must first be made to disappear.
15:56An inheritance, in his view,
15:59of the socialist aesthetic of Kennedy's America.
16:02The Hoover building,
16:04FBI headquarters,
16:05to disappear.
16:08The forestal building,
16:09headquarters of the Department of Energy,
16:12to disappear.
16:13The headquarters of the Department of Housing
16:15and Urban Development,
16:17designed by architect Marcel Breuer,
16:20a listed building,
16:21to disappear.
16:23You know,
16:23you can critique Trump
16:25in many different ways,
16:26but he does have his finger
16:29on the pulse of ordinary Americans
16:31and getting a sense
16:32of what they want to see
16:34in their federal buildings.
16:37Trump is on the side of the people,
16:39and the people are never wrong.
16:41That is Justin's knockout argument,
16:43and that of all the masters of Washington,
16:46the new Rome,
16:47for a Caesar of a new kind.
16:50E-L-O-A!
16:53I go to every demonstration,
16:56searching for forms of resistance.
16:58We will fight Elon Musk!
17:00Every day from dark to dark!
17:02We will fight Elon Musk!
17:05Almost every time,
17:06I run into Donna and Dunn,
17:09the retired couple from Texas.
17:14Before long,
17:15I feel as though I know all the protesters.
17:19kind, white liberal boomers,
17:21part of only the half of Americans
17:24over 60 who receive a pension
17:26and who can spend their days protesting.
17:34In the heart of summer,
17:35the president uses the assault
17:37of a young Doge recruit,
17:39the Department of Government efficiency,
17:41as a pretext to declare a state of emergency
17:44and order the deployment of the National Guard
17:47in the capital.
17:49Somebody from Doge was very badly hurt last night.
17:52We're not going to lose our cities over this.
17:55And this will go further.
17:57We're starting very strongly with D.C.
18:00and we're going to clean it up real quick.
18:04The presence of armed soldiers in the streets
18:07is unprecedented here.
18:11Since 1878,
18:13a law has prohibited the military
18:15from carrying out law enforcement operations
18:18on national territory.
18:22Protesters, still just a few in number,
18:25try to demonstrate.
18:27Among them is Nadine, ever faithful.
18:31Do you see how exhausted
18:33the five of them standing over there are?
18:35They look exhausted
18:37from running down, pursuing rapists and murderers.
18:42But above all, military veterans.
18:45Jay Carey served for 20 years
18:47in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
18:51Washington D.C. is a test run
18:53for martial law in our country.
18:55You see that he's already looking
18:57at sending troops to other states.
18:59And it's not going to get any better.
19:01No one's stopping.
19:02We're here to let them know
19:04that we won't stand for this.
19:07By coincidence, that very day,
19:10the president decides to sign an executive order
19:13of uncertain legality.
19:18All right.
19:19Well, the president signed an executive order
19:21making it a felony to burn the American crime.
19:24Yeah.
19:25It'll be a one-year penalty.
19:26Yep. In jail.
19:27Yep.
19:28I want to go to the White House
19:29and burn a flag.
19:30I'm down with it.
19:31I'm with it.
19:32I really love that bad idea.
19:34Right there, signed an executive order
19:36saying that it was illegal
19:37to burn the American...
19:38Burning the flag is considered
19:40under American law
19:41a form of symbolic expression,
19:43protected by the First Amendment
19:45to the Constitution.
19:46I'm turning his flag
19:48as a protest
19:49to that illegal fascist president
19:52that sits in that house.
20:00I'm not putting it out.
20:02I can burn it.
20:03It's my right.
20:04This is a public place.
20:05It's not going to catch anything else on fire.
20:07Back up.
20:07Back up this way.
20:09Drop the wire.
20:12These service members remind us.
20:14They swore an oath to the Constitution.
20:17They say they are ready
20:18to do anything to defend it.
20:20You will defend this United States
20:22for the Constitution
20:22from all enemies,
20:25born and domestic.
20:27Where is he being taken?
20:30Parts are closed. Let's go.
20:32I'm witnessing something
20:34that will in fact become widespread.
20:37The use of the army
20:38and federal forces
20:39against civilians.
20:41Soon also in Chicago,
20:43Memphis, New Orleans,
20:45Minneapolis.
20:47The greatest country in the world!
20:50In this face-off
20:52between soldiers and soldiers,
20:54there is a young man.
20:56Impossible not to notice him.
20:58Young people demonstrating
20:59are so scarce.
21:01Get out of our streets!
21:05Get out of our streets!
21:09His name is Will.
21:12He's 23 years old,
21:14from Michigan.
21:15He tells me his parents
21:16voted for Trump
21:17and that he came
21:19to spend the summer
21:20in Washington
21:20to protest against
21:22what he calls
21:23the fascist drift
21:24of the Trump administration.
21:26He spends his days
21:27holding up signs
21:28in front of the White House.
21:31Here's a man
21:31that has a sign
21:32that says,
21:33we won't be the generation
21:35that lost its country
21:37to fascism.
21:38How are you doing today?
21:39I'm doing good.
21:39How long have you been out here
21:40holding your sign?
21:41So this is day 11 for me.
21:44I haven't been here
21:45for 90 days.
21:47And I am concerned
21:49with the direction
21:50of our country.
21:50and I am fighting
21:53its decline.
21:56When the weather's tough,
21:58he takes shelter
21:59at the peace vigil,
22:01a tent set up in 1981
22:03to protest nuclear proliferation.
22:06Will is outraged
22:08by the apathy
22:09of his fellow citizens
22:10and especially
22:12of young people.
22:14He wants me to interview him.
22:16He has things to say.
22:20I tell him,
22:21we'll arrange a time
22:23for an interview
22:23later
22:24because these days
22:26my neighborhood
22:27is in crisis.
22:32Armed,
22:33masked men
22:34burst into my daily life
22:36and that of my children.
22:37smile.
22:38We're taking America back, baby.
22:41This is for America.
22:43The United States
22:44is number one.
22:46First day of school.
22:47I see two SUVs
22:49with tinted windows
22:51pass in front of the school.
22:53Wearing a fluorescent yellow vest,
22:55the assistant principal
22:56follows them on foot
22:57with his walkie-talkie
22:59to raise the alarm.
23:01My phone vibrates
23:02again and again.
23:18Don't get out of your house!
23:21Don't open the door!
23:28Residents are on edge.
23:30Interactions with law enforcement
23:32are tense.
23:33Fuck you!
23:35Run in hell!
23:36Fuck ice!
23:38Fuck ice and fuck your mother!
23:43That September,
23:44my neighborhood lives
23:46with the sound
23:47of helicopters
23:47flying low overhead.
23:49You can't tell me
23:50this is a fucking flight pattern.
23:52They're literally
23:53just circling.
23:56Every evening at 7pm,
23:58neighbors bang on pots and pans
24:00to make their anger heard.
24:02The children have fun
24:03imitating them.
24:06The neighborhood
24:07quickly organizes itself,
24:09emergency numbers,
24:10emergency numbers,
24:10online fundraisers,
24:12home food deliveries,
24:13and legal aid
24:14for undocumented neighbors.
24:18I receive a message from my son's teacher.
24:21Farewell party in class today
24:23to say goodbye to little David
24:25who's leaving for El Salvador.
24:28His parents have been deported.
24:32Latino children are now being taken to school
24:35by white parents.
24:48Olivia is in second grade.
24:50She was born here.
24:51She's an American citizen.
24:53her parents are from Mexico.
24:58They've lived,
24:59worked,
25:00and paid taxes in the U.S.
25:02for 20 years,
25:03but they have no legal status here.
25:06Phillip,
25:06a neighbor and fellow school parent,
25:09is the one who takes her to school
25:10and bring her home every day.
25:24Laura is a social worker,
25:26and she's taking university classes.
25:31Classmates drive her there and back.
25:33Her husband, Diego,
25:35works in a restaurant.
25:37Every day,
25:38he takes the risk of being arrested
25:39on his way to work.
25:41They had to find the words
25:43to explain to Olivia.
25:58of people like us.
26:00And, unfortunately,
26:02we are under attack.
26:04And, for a while,
26:06we will not be able to go to parks.
26:09For a while,
26:10we will not be able to take you to school.
26:12For a while,
26:13we will not be able to do the things
26:14we did before.
26:17But, for a while.
26:20When my mom told me
26:21that the migration
26:26was bringing Latin people
26:30like us,
26:31and what I didn't like
26:33was that some people
26:34had dogs.
26:35If someone was walking
26:37and had a dog in the house
26:39and would take him there,
26:42then the dog would stay alone
26:45and miss his owner.
26:48And that's what happens here.
26:50If my mom,
26:52if my mom
26:54were taken by ICE,
26:57then I would be very sad
26:59and I would stay here alone
27:01and spend the rest of my life
27:03like the dog.
27:05That's it.
27:15Oh, Lord.
27:19Oh, my goodness.
27:22Oh, yes.
27:29At the White House,
27:31I meet again with Brian Glenn
27:33on the sidelines
27:34of an official visit
27:35by the Israeli Prime Minister,
27:37the force,
27:38in eight months.
27:39Prime Minister of the State of Israel.
27:44He's in a bad mood.
27:46He takes a dim view
27:47of the growing space
27:48that foreign interventions
27:49are taking
27:50among his president's priorities.
27:53It is a far cry
27:55from the America First mantra.
27:57The campaign promised
27:58to put Americans' problems
28:00before the affairs of the world.
28:02because there are real problems
28:04to solve here,
28:05close by.
28:06And Brian does not hesitate
28:08to do his part.
28:09Hey, if you want me to talk about
28:10Hey, I tell you what,
28:11if you want me to talk about
28:12that peace tent I took down.
28:13About that?
28:14The peace tent.
28:15The peace tent?
28:16Yeah.
28:17I took that down.
28:17One day in the Oval Office,
28:19President Trump was talking
28:20about beautifying D.C.
28:23And so I asked him, I said,
28:25well, what about the blue tent
28:27that's in front of the White House?
28:29and he was not aware of it.
28:31He goes, what do you mean a blue tent?
28:32I said, it's been there since 1978.
28:34It was originally a peace vigil tent.
28:37Where is this blue tent?
28:38Right in front of the White House
28:39on the North Lawn
28:40on the other side of the Black Gate.
28:42I haven't known this.
28:43All of us in here
28:45walk right by every day.
28:46It is an eyesore.
28:48Oh, I didn't know that.
28:49Uh...
28:49Let me...
28:52Take it down.
28:53Take it down.
28:54Today, right now.
28:5824 hours a day, 7 days a week
29:01for 44 years someone has sat here.
29:05The peace vigil is where Will
29:07spent his days.
29:09So once they're done,
29:10you can go right back to your vigil.
29:12Okay?
29:12The vigil will still remain
29:13because of you.
29:15You are the vigil.
29:16No, no.
29:17That's not true.
29:19No.
29:20I just wanted you to understand.
29:22He violated the vigil.
29:23He violated the vigil.
29:24Thank you, ma'am.
29:29After three months of daily demonstrations,
29:31he believes less and less
29:33in the virtue of a raised sign
29:35as an invitation to dialogue.
29:39Even if you're in a losing battle,
29:47you know, where you're out banned,
29:50and I think it's important
29:53that the people who are making these transgressions
29:57against you know that there was resistance.
30:00Like, I think that if, like, bad...
30:06If evil is beating good,
30:09it's important that it's not easy.
30:19Jake Harry, the veteran who set fire to the flag a few days earlier,
30:24is brought before a judge at the federal court
30:26in an increasingly heavy atmosphere.
30:29Far-right influencer Charlie Kirk has just been assassinated.
30:34He did not hate his opponents.
30:36He wanted the best for them.
30:39That's where I disagreed with Charlie.
30:42I hate my opponent.
30:45Outside the courthouse, I run into Don and Donna,
30:48who've come to support the veteran.
30:50Things are heating up here in D.C.
30:51You know, we had the murder of Charlie Kirk,
30:55a far-right young person
30:57who had swayed a lot of young Republican men to come his way.
31:02With the murder of that,
31:04I think we're getting more and more heated
31:05as far as First Amendment freedoms for liberals
31:11and for people not in favor of President Trump,
31:14which has us concerned,
31:16but we are still going to protest.
31:18Online posts deemed negative about Charlie Kirk are catalogued,
31:23their authors identified,
31:24in an online witch hunt launched by Vice President J.D. Vance.
31:29So when you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder,
31:31call them out in hell.
31:33Call their employer.
31:35600 Americans are denounced and lose their jobs.
31:39I actually had my son reach out to me a couple of weeks ago.
31:42He's very reserved.
31:43He doesn't usually share his feelings.
31:45And he said to me,
31:46Mom, would you mind texting me every night
31:49to make sure you have not been arrested
31:51and that you are at home?
31:58One November evening, I receive a text from Brian.
32:03A link to a video Marjorie Taylor Greene has just posted
32:06on her ex-account.
32:10Hi, everyone.
32:11The representative films herself in her living room in Georgia.
32:15Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old,
32:20trafficked and used by rich, powerful men,
32:22should not result in me being called a traitor
32:25and threatened by the President of the United States,
32:29whom I fought for.
32:30Ever since she joined forces with Democrats
32:33to have the fires of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein declassified,
32:36the President immediately cast her out.
32:39And online mega trolls are threatening her with this.
32:42Who's that?
32:44Marjorie Taylor Greene, she says.
32:45Marjorie Trader Greene.
32:47I don't think her life is in danger.
32:49I don't think, frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her.
32:53I refuse to be a battered wife, hoping it all goes away and gets better.
32:57I'll be resigning from office with my last day being January 5th, 2026.
33:04Brian takes me to meet Marjorie at the Capitol
33:07for one of her very last votes in the chamber.
33:20You should stay. You should change your mind and stay.
33:23Give him some grief.
33:25He deserves it. I mean, he's not a nice guy.
33:28The MAGA movement's attack dog,
33:31now ostracized and soon to be without elected office,
33:34must change her tone to attract sympathy.
33:39I will not miss the toxic political environment.
33:44I won't miss that at all.
33:46Congress is a frustrating place.
33:48That's where most of my frustrations are.
33:50It's unfortunate that pretty much most members of Congress
33:54never get a chance to bring their bills to the floor for a vote,
33:58and that's something I very much disagree with it.
34:01In fact, never in American history
34:03had a Congress passed so few laws as under Trump too.
34:06The legislative branch has abdicated in favor of the executive.
34:11But if one law is to remain for Marjorie, it's this one.
34:15That was another bill I passed that was his executive order.
34:19The new name, Gulf of America, has become a reality,
34:24at least on MAGA huts.
34:32The year 2026 begins with a snowstorm and polar temperatures,
34:37the harshest winter in 150 years.
34:44I meet Don and Donna again at their home.
34:47Here I have one that I made.
34:49Caution ice ahead.
34:51And it's got an ice agent with three bloody marks on a car.
34:58A thousand miles from here, in Minneapolis,
35:02something erupts.
35:04Citizens take to the streets in large numbers
35:06to protest ice raids.
35:09Get the fuck out!
35:11Get the fuck out!
35:12Your mother!
35:14A mother, then a 37-year-old nurse,
35:18are shot dead by federal agents.
35:20That's fine, dude.
35:21I'm not mad at you.
35:22Show your face!
35:23Show your face!
35:23Shame!
35:25Shame!
35:26Oh, my fucking God!
35:33Deaths that the authorities say were justified.
35:36No!
35:37You asked about a shooting that we just had
35:40in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
35:41It was an act of domestic terrorism.
35:44I mean, if they can kill one in cold blood,
35:46just sitting in her car,
35:48right after she said,
35:50Hey, dude, I'm not mad at you.
35:52And smiled.
35:53I mean, it's just...
35:54It makes me somewhat scared.
35:58Donna and Don continue to demonstrate
36:00and regularly find themselves
36:01on the front pages of the media.
36:04Since the deaths in Minneapolis,
36:05they have taken their son's advice
36:07and hired a lawyer.
36:10Well, look who is here!
36:12Yes!
36:12And so let's have you take off your coat
36:15and then we'll give you a hug
36:16so that we don't feel it all the way through your...
36:18And not just any lawyer.
36:21Ashley Akers,
36:22a former prosecutor at the Department of Justice.
36:25Can you hang it up there?
36:27Joining me now is Ashley Akers.
36:28She was one of the many prosecutors
36:30who worked on the January 6th cases.
36:33When Trump makes his triumphant return
36:35to the White House,
36:36Ashley and all the prosecutors
36:37who had worked on the trials
36:39of the January 6th rioters are fired or resign.
36:43Memorize my phone number.
36:45And if you can't, write it on your cell.
36:47I might have to go with that too.
36:49Yeah, exactly.
36:51That would be great.
36:52The good news is we have Sharpies in all colors.
36:58Presidential memorandum.
36:59May be considered domestic terrorism,
37:02the expression of anti-American,
37:06anti-capitalist,
37:08anti-Christian opinions,
37:10and hostility towards those
37:12who hold traditional American views
37:14on family, religion, and morality.
37:17Could they be labeled a domestic terrorist?
37:22I think the example from Minneapolis
37:25shows that anyone could be labeled
37:28a domestic terrorist so long as they're not
37:30in pursuit of the objectives
37:34endorsed by the administration.
37:36Is the judicial branch still independent
37:39from the executive branch?
37:40No, the DOJ isn't independent anymore.
37:44And it's not like they're hiding that.
37:46it is out in the open,
37:48under the control of the White House.
37:52Ashley was right.
37:54The Department of Justice
37:55begins displaying the president's face.
38:03Like the Department of Labor,
38:05the Department of Agriculture,
38:08Trump in gold letters
38:10on the U.S. Institute of Peace,
38:13Trump on the Kennedy Center,
38:15the country's largest public performing arts venue,
38:18on passports,
38:20on national park passes,
38:22and soon,
38:24Trump on Washington's airport
38:26and on Penn Station in New York,
38:29whose renovations are overseen by Justin Chubo
38:32as director of the beautifying transportation infrastructure council.
38:38nearly a year after our first meeting,
38:41I see him again on the site
38:43where construction of the arch of Trump
38:45is set to begin.
38:47He was the one who suggested it to the president.
38:52A 75-foot-high triumphal arch
38:55to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary.
38:59We have three sides.
39:01The president is enthusiastic.
39:04Very enthusiastic.
39:07And posts his own plans on his true social network.
39:12Change of scale.
39:14249 feet high.
39:17One and a half times more massive
39:19than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
39:21three times the size of Justin's proposal.
39:25So, what are the chances that, uh,
39:27that Washington ends up with, like,
39:31this one, for instance?
39:33Um, I mean, I am, I don't, I don't think that's,
39:36this is just a publication.
39:38Okay.
39:40And do you know who the statue is?
39:42No, this is just AI.
39:44It's, it's, I think,
39:46it's just supposed to be generic.
39:47Okay.
39:47Men.
39:48And also, look how tall they would be.
39:50Yeah.
39:50I mean, it's like North Korea.
39:52Yeah.
39:53It's like, yeah.
39:53It's like ridiculous.
39:54Yeah, exactly.
39:55That's why I don't want to talk about that.
40:00The idea that you suggested to the president,
40:02how different was it?
40:03I can't, I can't say.
40:05You can't say.
40:06I can't say.
40:08There's a lot of things you can't say now.
40:10Well, because I'm, it's politics.
40:11You know, like when the history books are written,
40:14I can say.
40:17Justin would rather remain silent than openly distance himself
40:21from the president's architectural delusions.
40:24Dissent is poorly tolerated by the administration.
40:32I receive a message from Donna.
40:35Bad news.
40:41Will, the young protester from Michigan,
40:45has taken his own life.
40:56On a freezing evening,
40:58in front of the White House,
40:59which looks more and more like a bunker,
41:02about 30 people gathered to pay tribute to Will.
41:06I recognize familiar faces.
41:16Will was a cum laude graduate of Western Michigan University,
41:22a past president of the Western Michigan Sky Dive Broncos,
41:27a leader in the Western Geology Club,
41:31a 2020 Congressional Medal of Merit recipient.
41:36He spent a year abroad at KU University in Leuven, Belgium.
41:43I said that Will packed in 60 years of my life in his 23.
41:51As the days went on,
41:53I could see that he was starting to realize
41:56that he was not going to make the big difference
41:59that he wanted to make.
42:00He was hoping that a lot of young people would come
42:03and he could help,
42:06they could all band together and help the country out.
42:09But what I want everybody to realize is,
42:12well, most of us won't make a big difference in this world,
42:17but we make little differences.
42:19And what we don't know is when we hold the sign,
42:22all the people that walk by,
42:24they may not stop,
42:25they may not say something,
42:26but they'll take that,
42:27whatever your message is,
42:29they'll take that to heart
42:30and they may go back home and look it up.
42:34That may give them something to think about.
42:55Good morning.
42:57What's going on?
42:58How are you?
43:00Good, how are you?
43:00Well, just picking up some Chick-fil-A.
43:04for the staff.
43:07It's my last day.
43:10Brian is resigning.
43:12Effective tonight.
43:14You know, I was just sitting,
43:15I just was reflecting on the last couple years
43:19and how much we've gone through.
43:22Apparently, we're releasing UFOs today.
43:25So apparently, like, on my last day,
43:28we're going to release files on the UFOs.
43:33Maybe it's a good thing I'm getting out of there in time.
43:36He's chosen to follow Marjorie into exile.
43:38It's a lot of chicken, huh?
43:40It's a lot of chicken. Let's go.
43:42Six pounds of fried chicken,
43:44a breakfast he delivers in person to the White House staff.
43:49Final bow to the power that is banishing them.
43:55The president has reportedly been informed of his departure,
43:59an advisor tells him.
44:01Perhaps he will grant him a moment today,
44:03a few seconds to say goodbye.
44:06What do you want me to talk about?
44:07I'm going to talk about...
44:08For his final live report from the White House,
44:10there's no addressing the source subject.
44:12I'm not talking about the Rand.
44:14The last thing I want to do on my last day is talk about,
44:17here's the latest from my Rand.
44:19I got that this morning.
44:21And I was like, you guys are fucking kidding me.
44:23I ain't doing that.
44:25He seizes the opportunity of his final live broadcast
44:28to settle scores with the MAGA movement.
44:30There's so much negativity in our movement.
44:33There's so many influencers.
44:35There's people that create memes for a living.
44:38That's meant to...
44:39The cult-like machine he helped create,
44:41and which is turning against him and Marjorie.
44:45They are the ones that are the most harmful to our movement.
44:51Thank you. God bless.
44:58Nobody is more on the inside than you are.
45:01But you'd rather...
45:03You'd rather go back to being on the outside?
45:07Outside.
45:08Outside.
45:10More comfortable.
45:15All right.
45:16All day long, Ryan keeps checking his phone.
45:19Thank you.
45:20But no.
45:20The president will not say goodbye to him in person.
45:23All right. Let's see you.
45:24Hello.
45:29That day,
45:30Brian was telling the truth.
45:32The White House publishes a website about aliens.
45:36The website warns.
45:38They walk among us.
45:40They've shopped in the same stores,
45:43attend the same classrooms as our children,
45:46live seemingly normal human existences
45:49under the cover of darkness.
45:51They embedded themselves into our society.
45:55A map of arrests dispels any doubt.
45:58It is undocumented foreigners indeed,
46:01who are being described.
46:03The White House has even thought to include a link,
46:06allowing people to report others to immigration police
46:10with one click.
46:23Here is the collection of black people.
46:25The Black people are sending me as a wizard.
46:28It feels like a different experience.
46:30The land is still a visual lens.
46:33It feels like a different story about the environment.
46:40The Latinos people look at times more than in the streets.
46:40contra nós como latinos
46:44por todos os mensagens que há na televisão
46:48e nos meios de comunicación
46:49que dizem que
46:53as pessoas imigrantes são malas
46:54as pessoas imigrantes estão roubando este país
46:57as pessoas imigrantes estão aprovechando o sistema
47:01O school year é quase terminado
47:03Em alguns dias, Laura, Diego e Olivia
47:07vão deixar o seu casa, seus trabalhos, seus amigos
47:10eles vão self-deportar
47:12Nós fizemos a decisão de voltar a México
47:16e não é uma decisão fácil
47:17é uma decisão que
47:20tem muito a ver com o que está acontecendo
47:22aqui
47:23com esta nova administração
47:28porque sim, eu sinto que
47:29nossa filha está sofrendo
47:33Olivia, que é um cidadão americano
47:34vai deixar seu país
47:36a única que ela nunca conhece
47:38está na sala
47:42Ais, Raids, alerta
47:45Eu vou passar tudo isso que está alineado.
47:49Más que o Ferreira de Agência no mercado parece como...
47:54É migração.
47:57Vou compartilhar a alerta.
48:02Dentro de pouco para viver sem tudo isso.
48:07Esperamos que podamos sair livremente às calles,
48:12voltar para os parques, respirar fresco,
48:18sem ter que estar encerradas nas paredes.
48:22Esperamos que pronto podamos ser livres.
48:31Há 18 meses desde que comecei a filmar em e ao redor da casa.
48:37Eu penso no experimento de fogo.
48:39Se um ferreira de repente se derrubar em água quente,
48:43ele saiu.
48:44Se ele está colocado em água fria e a água está acessada,
48:48muito gradualmente, o ferreira se torna.
48:51Ele fica acostumado à temperatura e, eventualmente, morre.
48:56Em quase dois anos, eu não observei nenhuma verdadeira abençada.
49:01Os americanos parecem ter se acostumbrados à água acessada.
49:35Um todo de civilizações irá morrer tarde.
49:35Diego e Olivia estão se assustando na região de Chiapas do México.
49:39Olivia começou a terceiro grade.
49:42As regras contra o veterano Jay Carey foram derrotadas.
49:46Ele foi de volta para a Carolina Norte.
49:49Dona e Dona permaneceram, usando a demonstração de Demonstração de No King
49:53para se sentir menos sozinhos.
49:56Eles têm aprendido o seu número de telefones de telefone.
50:01207-377-2597.
50:04E não diga nada para as caixas.
50:07E Nadine, que continua a trocar o presidente
50:10ao redor da Corte Comunista.
50:14Quando eu feio este livro de Washington under Trump,
50:17eu aprendi que Will, antes de terminar sua vida,
50:21deixou um manuscrito atrás.
50:24Seu título é DEMOCRACY.
50:34O que foi a minha vida,
50:37conversa para a presença.
50:37A minha vida.
50:39A minha vida.
50:47O que foi a minha vida.
50:48A minha vida.
50:49A minha vida.
50:52A minha vida.
