Mindf*ck Monday | Sassy Politics with Christi Chanelle
Release Date: May 20, 2025
Episode Title: Feasting on Fear: MAGA’s Appetite for Fame, Control, and Deportation TV

This episode is not satire. It's a siren.

We’re diving deep into the latest horror show from the MAGA regime—Kristi Noem’s pitch for a reality competition where immigrants fight for citizenship. Yes, it’s real. And it’s co-signed by the Duck Dynasty production team. If that wasn’t dystopian enough, we’ll also unpack the Secret Service showing up at an influencer’s home over a viral post.

Control the narrative. Silence the dissent. Broadcast the chaos.

Because in Trump’s America, oppression gets a camera crew.

The Woman, the Fetus, and the Future of Forced Birth
This week, we’re talking about the Georgia woman being kept on life support—not for her life, but to incubate a 9-week-old fetus. Her family begged them to let her go. The state said no. This isn’t about a miracle. It’s about control. And if you think it’s just a tragic one-off, think again. This is a test case. A quiet trial balloon. A chilling blueprint for what they want next—and who they’ll target when it’s time to scale it.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I've been around a long time and this is the first
time in my lifetime that I'mseeing secret agents knocking on
your door because of a post onsocial media.
Yeah, get the bail money ready.
I'm Christy Chanel, and this isSassy Politics.
Welcome to Mindfuck Monday,because the news should come

(00:29):
with a trigger warning.
I'm Christy Chanel, and todaywe're taking you straight into
the rabbit hole of Americanchaos, with headlines that sound
more like fiction than fact.
So grab your caffeine and let'sunpack the madness.
Christy Gn's reality show, theHunger Games for Citizenship.

(00:51):
Christy Noem was in talks withthe Duck Dynasty producers about
a reality show where immigrantswould compete for US
citizenship, but now Noem'scalling it fake news.
In a public statement, shedenied any involvement in the
project, claiming this is a lie.

(01:13):
I've never even heard of such athing until the media ran with
it.
Her office went on to say thatthe report is fabricated and
designed to discredit her andthe administration.
So let's break it down.
The original report came frommultiple sources citing
anonymous insiders inentertainment and government

(01:33):
circles.
The producers tied to thealleged pitch yes, the same ones
from Duck Dynasty haven'tcommented.
Noam's team is on full defense,using the fake news label,
while the right-wing mediaignores it altogether.
What do we do with this?
Whether or not the show is real, the fact that such an idea was

(01:58):
even plausible in thispolitical climate says
everything.
The dystopian concept wasn'tshocking because it was
unimaginable.
It was shocking because wecould absolutely see them doing
it, and that's the real red flagBottom line.

(02:18):
We don't need a greenlit showto know that dehumanizing
immigrants for political gain isthe vibe of this regime.
Whether scripted or not, themessaging is already in motion
and America is the stage.
The dog whistle you missed.

(02:52):
Donald Trump recently took toTruth Social to mock Bruce
Springsteen, calling him alittle guy with a big mouth and
suggesting he should watch whathe says before returning to the
US.
Let me be clear that's a threat.
Why it matters?
Springsteen is a Jersey iconand outspoken critic of Trump.
This isn't just about celebritydrama.
It's a warning to alldissenters.
Free speech is under fire,especially when it challenges

(03:15):
authoritarian power and, for therecord, I was born and raised
in Jersey.
We don't take kindly to threatsagainst the boss.
86-47.
Former FBI director JamesComley is at the center of a

(03:38):
political firestorm afterposting a photo of seashells on
Instagram, arranged to read86-47.
The phrase, interpreted by someas a coded threat against the
47th president, donald Trump,has sparked MAGA outrage.

(03:59):
Conservative media outletsclaim the phrase is a veiled
call to assassinate thepresident, but 86 is a common
slang meaning to cancel orreject, used in everyday
restaurants.
I worked in restaurants foryears.
86, the tomatoes on the burger.

(04:20):
It's really very, very commonand I don't think the restaurant
business is being sinister andtelling us to assassinate all
tomatoes.
Comey's meaning was likelypolitical, not violent.
Here's where it gets dystopian.
An influencer reposted the imageand was visited by the Secret

(04:42):
Service, reportedly sent by theWhite House.
We also had another influencerincident where a Twitch streamer
was stopped at the airport andinterrogated do you, what do you
do for a living?
I stream, I also talk about thenews, or I also talk about the

(05:03):
news?
Well, since you brought it up,what do you talk about the news?
Do you talk about the war orDonald Trump?
The influencer said yes, I talkabout Donald Trump.
Why this should terrify you?
The federal government isdispatching agents over memes,
metaphors and reposts.

(05:24):
There is no evidence of athreat, just interpretation
turned into weaponizedsurveillance.
We are now living in a countrywhere criticizing the president
gets you flagged, followed andpotentially detained.
This isn't about safety, it'sabout silencing.

(05:50):
Taylor Swift is a distractionand Trump knows it In the Trump
truth social tirade.
Truth, social tirade, taylorSwift.
But let's not get played.
Here's the playbook.
Throw a bone to MAGA with acelebrity feud.

(06:12):
Drown out the headlines thatmatter.
Shift the conversation frompolicy to pop culture.
The real headline should be theSAVE Act, the erosion of
reproductive rights, theweaponization of law enforcement
.
Taylor is not the problem.
The regime using her as a decoyis 50 states of WTF, the

(06:39):
Justice Watch, where I watch thecourts, so you don't have to.
From state bans to surprise wins.
This is your weekly breakdownof who's protecting our rights
and who's playing fast and loosewith the Constitution.
This week's Jaw Dropper,florida A federal judge just

(06:59):
struck down a bill that wouldhave allowed teachers to be
fired for using the wrongpronouns or discussing LGBTQ
plus topics.
The court ruled it a violationof first amendment rights.
Texas A new bill introducedcould classify drag performances
as sexually oriented content,putting them under adult

(07:25):
business restrictions, even whenperformed in public libraries
or pride events.
Lovely Tennessee the state isfacing backlash after arresting
a journalist who filmed aprotest outside a school board
meeting Charges, trespassing onpublic grounds.

(07:47):
This week's pattern If you speak, perform or publish, and it
challenges conservative power,you're a target.
Journalism wins with thePreakness.
Two weeks ago we made a jokeafter the Kentucky Derby when a
horse named Sovereign beatjournalism.

(08:07):
I said it felt like a metaphor.
Well, guess what?
Journalism just won thePreakness, and I'll take that as
a sign because let's be real.
I'll take that as a signbecause, let's be real.
Journalism is under attack,from banned books to banned
TikToks, from censored teachersto detained reporters.
The First Amendment isn't justbeing tested, it's being

(08:36):
trampled.
So when a horse namedjournalism crosses the finish
line first, I'll cheer for thatlittle win, because we need
every damn reminder that truthstill matters.
Final thoughts this week isn'tabout headlines.
It's about freedom of speech.
Entertainment used aspropaganda, threats masked as

(08:58):
jokes, memes treated likefelonies, teachers, performers
and journalists treated likecriminals.
They want us quiet, they wantus cautious, they want us scared
to hit post.
So here's what we do instead weget louder, we double down, we

(09:22):
flood the feed with truth, factsand fearless commentary.
This is not the time to shrink.
This is not the moment to bowour heads or bite our tongues If
they send agents to our doorsfor reposts.
We write twice as much.

(09:43):
We post twice as much.
If they try to block us, webuild bigger platforms.
If they threaten us, we answerwith power, unity and volume.
We do not bow down.
We are the press now.
We are the resistance and wewill not be silenced Because if

(10:11):
they come for our voices, wecome back louder and in the
words of my mom love you, missyou, bye.
