00:00¡Hasta la próxima!
00:32He knows he's going to lose the midterm elections. He's underwater. He's weak in every category. Donald Trump is weakness
00:38masquerading as strength. He's weak in every key category. That's a fact. And I think it's an important fact. He
00:46knows that. And that's why he dialed not for votes, but he dialed for seats. He said he's quote unquote
00:50entitled to five seats. Called Greg Abbott, who is totally supine, said yes sir and. Gave him the five seats
00:57in Texas to change the maps.
00:59He did the same thing in Indiana, Missouri. He's doing the same thing in Florida, likely Ohio. And we'll see
01:04what happens in Utah. And Democrats, we were going to, you know, we're going to hold hands, talk about the
01:09way the world should be, say it's just so unfair.
01:11Maybe write an op-ed. Meanwhile, this guy's condolinating power. And so for us, we decided to push back and
01:18fight back. But it's not just that.
01:19That's the tip of the iceberg, rigging the midterm election because he knows otherwise he'll lose. When we kicked off
01:26the campaign, and this is important for people to understand, when we kicked it off at the Democracy Center in
01:33Los Angeles,
01:34he sent out ICE and Border Patrol to intimidate folks from walking in to our event. He ended up arresting
01:43this poor soul that was just trying to sell strawberries as collateral damage to intimidate us.
01:48That is a preview, Stephen, of things to come in voting booths and polling places across this country.
01:53He federalized 4,000 National Guard in my state. He still has hundreds of federalized National Guard. He sent the
02:01United States Marines, not overseas, but to an American city, 700 active duty Marines.
02:08He sent the military to American cities to police American citizens. And the ICE issue is alarming beyond words.
02:18It is the largest private domestic army of its type, police force anywhere in the world. He'll have 30,000
02:26people that increasingly appear to be swearing an oath of office to him, not the Constitution of the United States.
02:32Again, wake up to what's going on in this country.
02:36One of the things that you just did on that subject, over the weekend, you signed a new California law
02:48that bans ICE from concealing their identities, which is a great idea.
02:55And I'm just curious. I mean, there's all these reasons why you would want to do for the population that
02:59is actually being policed by them.
03:01But what I don't understand whenever I hear that they want to hide their identities is why don't any public
03:07safety officer understand that they are safer by identifying themselves?
03:11Because America is a place loaded for guns and heaven forbid anything should happen to one of these guys because
03:17they were masked, no ID, windowless van.
03:20That just looks like an attack for their own safety. Shouldn't these people show who they are and normalize their
03:27behavior so that people aren't terrified?
03:30This is the worst part about it. I had deep empathy for these poor folks in the National Guard.
03:35These are, by the way, these are our neighbors. National Guard men and women are teachers, firefighters, paramedics.
03:40These were the folks that were helping us with their recovery in L.A., being used as pawns.
03:44The same thing for a lot of these federal agents. I have deep empathy. To your point, they're losing, we're
03:50losing confidence and trust in law enforcement.
03:53It's having an impact, a chilling impact across the spectrum for other local law enforcement agencies.
03:58Look,
03:59Look,
04:00look,
