Immigration Crackdowns Explode as Trump Literally Falls Asleep

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW

This episode opens with the Trump administration pushing a new round of immigration crackdowns, and the atmosphere around it is already tense. 

DHS and ICE are moving with a level of force that immediately raises questions about what they are planning and how far they intend to go. Communities can feel the pressure even before the details become clear.

You will hear how Trump’s own words are fueling the moment. When the president speaks about immigrants with language that strips away dignity, the entire system absorbs that hostility. 

It shapes how agencies behave. It shapes how supporters react. It shapes the country’s understanding of who is being targeted and why.

There is also a disturbing development tied to the Epstein investigation. House Democrats released new material from the island, and it forces a fresh look at the people, money, and influence connected to that place. 

The new evidence opens doors that many in power hoped would stay shut.

Another part of the episode brings you into the White House where Trump once again tries to present himself as strong and sharp. What happens in that setting tells its own story. 

Trump’s behavior inside a Cabinet meeting becomes impossible to ignore and raises real questions about his leadership and his awareness at the highest level.

The larger picture is a country being pushed and pulled by extreme decisions made inside Washington. DHS is pushing aggressive operations. The FBI is making unusual public statements. 

Congress is releasing sensitive material that rattles long protected circles of power. The pieces collide in a way that leaves people wondering who is actually steering the country.

Listeners will recognize the frustration that runs through all of this. The constant tension. The feeling that every move from the administration adds another layer of uncertainty to daily life. Many people are tired of bracing for whatever comes next.

This episode exposes the chaos created by Trump, the agencies moving under his direction, and the institutions forced to react. 

It pulls back the curtain and sets the stage for what you are about to hear on A World Gone Mad.

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
This is a worldbone.
This is a worldbone mat.

SPEAKER_01 (00:07):
Mad Mad Mad Mad I'm Jeff Allen Wolf, and welcome to
A World Gone Mad.
It's WTF Wednesday, and that'sthe episode where I question
what the fuck is Donald theDelusional One and his MAGA
supporters doing now?
And more importantly, how is anyof this going to hurt us?

(00:29):
The ones who actually care aboutour country and democracy.
Okay, reluctantly, let's getinto all of the new madness.
Here we go.
Let's start with the big one.
Immigration.
A topic that this administrationtreats like a performance art

(00:53):
piece that never ends.
Today the Department of HomelandSecurity rolled into New Orleans
with something they proudly arecalling Operation Catahula
Crunch.
It sounds less like policy andmore like a halftime snack.
But this is no snack.

(01:14):
This is the beginning of thenext major crackdown, and New
Orleans is where this phase isnow kicking off.
And at the exact same time,federal officials are preparing
a second crackdown in Minnesota,targeting undocumented Somali
immigrants in Minneapolis andSt.

(01:34):
Paul.
And guess what the presidentsaid about Somali immigrants?
Trump called them garbage.
Garbage, a word only a racistuses to dehumanize people.
These are human beings, theseare families, people living in

(01:57):
the communities they help build.
The only real piece of garbageis you, Donnie boy.
An insecure, old, unhealthy manwith no respect for anyone or
anything in our country.
Trump said that people fromSomali should go back to where
they came from.

(02:19):
That's what came out of themouth of the man running our
country.
How very classy from the leaderof the free world.
So all New Orleans braces forthis wave, Minnesota's next, and
this is only the latest stop inTrump's national tour.
Los Angeles, Chicago, Memphis,Charlotte, one city after

(02:42):
another.
Trump's disrupted every singleartery of the immigration
system.
Illegal crosses down because theentire machine is frozen solid.
Asylum cases stalled.
Refugee admissions paused.
Work visas strangled.

(03:02):
The country's immigration systemhas been turned into a museum
exhibit.
Nothing moves.
Nothing breathes.
Everything taped off with a signthat says do not touch.
And DHS is already telling youthe go.
Five thousand arrests or beyond.

(03:25):
Picture that phrasing, orbeyond.
That's not law enforcementlanguage.
That's someone ordering asandwich.
It means whatever they get, theywant more.
They're not measuring success.
They're counting bodies.
Meanwhile, the FBI in NewOrleans suddenly feels the need

(03:46):
to publicly announce that theywon't tolerate anyone assaulting
law enforcement during theoperation.
Think about that.
When the FBI has to walk outonto the stage and declare,
please don't punch the officers,that tells you the kind of
climate we're living in.

(04:07):
They're sending agents out withstate police in marked vehicles
as a visible presence.
Like parade floats for federalauthority.
And they're saying if anyonelays a hand on an officer,
they're coming for youimmediately.
It's a strange moment whenfederal operations look less

(04:27):
like law enforcement and morelike an occupying force.
Uniforms everywhere, warningseverywhere, tension thick enough
to spread on toast.
All of it wrapped aroundpolicies that large parts of the
country never voted for, neverasked for, and don't support.

(04:48):
And while all this is unfolding,House Democrats on the Oversight
Committee dropped another bomb.
They release photos and videofrom Jeffrey Epstein's private
island.
Fourteen never-before seenimages showing the place Epstein
used to run as his personalhorror show.

(05:09):
It looks like a tropicalparadise on the outside, but
history will record it as one ofthe darkest crime scenes in the
Western Hemisphere.
You see these images, you'rereminded once again that obscene
wealth allowed Epstein to builda fortress where horrific things
happened for years.

(05:30):
And to this day, the list of whovisited that island remains the
political third rail of ourtime.
Nobody wants to touch it, nobodywants to release it, nobody
wants to talk about it.
Because the truth is the guestlist would burn through every
party, every industry, everydonor network, every billionaire

(05:51):
club, every social circle fromManhattan to Balibu.
So instead, we get drips ofinformation.
A photo here, a sealed documentthere.
And every time it comes out, youcan't help wondering what else
is still locked away.
Now let's shift over to Trump,the self-declared sharpest

(06:15):
president of the last 25 years.
That's what Donald said.
And at the start of a cabinetmeeting, Donald made his
traditional jab at Sleepy Joe,Sleepy Joe Biden.
Trump hasn't let that nicknamego for nearly a decade.
Then Trump looks into thecameras, says, he's sharper than

(06:38):
he was 25 years ago.
And immediately after makingthis proclamation, Donald spends
the next hour drifting in andout of consciousness like a
teenager in an algebra class.
Trump actually nodded off duringhis own cabinet meeting.
Not once, not twice, over andover.

(07:03):
The man who says he has endlessenergy couldn't stay awake for
his favorite activity, which ishaving people sit around him and
praise him.
Trump's entire cabinet was rightthere in front of him, ready to
declare him the greatest leadersince electricity.
And he's over there fighting anap like a toddler in a car
seat.
This is the same man who'smocked other presidents for

(07:26):
lacking stamina.
The same man who insists hecould run circles around anyone
half his age.
And yet, here Trump is eyesfluttering, chin dropping, in
the middle of a meeting that hecalled.
And when reporters asked Donaldabout it, he scolded them,
accused them of being unfair,accused them of being crazy.

(07:52):
No, sir, crazy is claimingyou're sharper than ever, and
then drifting off mid-sentencewhile your cabinet pretends not
to notice.
And here's the bigger picture.
While DHS is riding a raidingcities, while the FBI is
patrolling streets like it'sMardi Grand reverse, while

(08:13):
Congress is releasing imagesfrom an island built on
exploitation, Donald Trump, theman presiding over all of this
is literally nodding off.
That's the country right now,listeners.
A giant conflict of priorities,a government in chaos,
operations running full speed,institutions cracking, extreme

(08:37):
policies being rolled out, cityby city.
And Trump sits at the center ofit all, fighting off a nap, like
the whole world is one big wormpillow.
And look, before I wrap this up,I want to say something
personal.
Because I know a lot of you arefeeling the same thing I am.

(08:57):
I want my country back.
Let me repeat that.
I want my country back.
Not in a slogan way, not in abumper sticker way.
I mean the actual feeling ofliving in a country that isn't
waking up every day wonderingwhat fresh circus act is waiting
for us by lunchtime.

(09:19):
Hey, I love a circus.
I've worked under the spotlightmost of my life.
But this isn't a circus.
This is a clown show.
And it's been a clown show eversince Donald took office again.
I'm tired of the chaos, I'mtired of the nonstop tension,
I'm tired of feeling like everyday is a new episode of let's

(09:40):
see what Trump breaks next.
And though you feel it too,you're exhausted, you're
overwhelmed, you're wonderingwhen the grown-ups come back
into the room.
You're wondering when competencereturns, when kindness returns,
when stability stops beingtreated like a weakness.

(10:05):
These are incompetent people.
These are cold, egotistical,unfeeling people.
These are people who have noclue what they're doing.
And they're making it up as theygo along.
We all see this.
And the price for theirimprovisational governing is
paid by you and me and everyoneelse who just wants a normal,

(10:29):
functioning country again.
And I'm not knocking Trump'sage, 79 going on 80.
Let me say that clearly to thelisteners.
I'm not knocking his age.
I'm knocking his age and hismedical health in relation to
him being the leader of the freeworld.

(10:50):
And I don't care if a presidentis 50 or 80 years old.
I don't care if he's youngenough to sprint or old enough
to remember rotary phones.
He or she should be sharp asattack.
He should be alert.
He should be present.
He should have the ability torun this country smoothly,

(11:10):
confidently, and with clarity.
Instead, Trump's running it intothe ground while fighting off a
nap.
And that's why every Wednesday Ido this, listeners.
To call it out, to shine a lighton it, to remind everyone that
you're not crazy.
The world has gone mad, and I'mstill here telling the truth

(11:34):
about it.
And no one anywhere could doanything about shutting me up.
My country, my beliefs, but notmy president.
If you have any thoughts orcomments, it would be nice to
hear from you, the listener.
I keep asking, but I get mostlycrickets.

(11:58):
Either you don't care, you'retoo numb, or you can't take one
minute out of your day to sendme a text or an email or a phone
call.
A reminder.

Without your comments or yourfeedback, I'm sitting in a room

(12:43):
talking to myself.
I also still have that donationlink for those of you that care
to help my podcast.
Again, this is optional.
But even a small donation makesa big difference.
Also, I want to thank one of thelisteners, Caroline, who
actually tuned into the Tuesdaynight live stream on TikTok.

(13:05):
Thank you so much for taking thetime, Caroline.
I truly do appreciate thesupport from you.
The room was made up of a lot ofMAGAs going after me, so it was
nice to have a fellow Democrator anti-Trumper in there.
That's your WTF Wednesday,everyone.
This is The World Gone Mad.

(13:26):
I'll be back Friday.
I say the shit that no one elsewill because I don't care who I

I'm not mainstream media.
No bullshit, no talking points,no fake headlines, no sound bite
clips in the background likeother podcasters do.

(13:48):
Just me.
The truth has to be told.
Until then, Wolfpack listeners,remain skeptical, keep focused,
but most of all, stay hopeful.

SPEAKER_00 (13:59):
There is chaos in the world.
And we need to stand up andfreeze up democracy.
This is the world monster.
