(00:00):
The cruelty is always the point for MAGA.
They think this is a game. Why do you think Christy Noam
dresses up in her stupid little outfits?
It is because when Donald Trump's mass thugs are invading
a city, a blue city, because they don't actually care about
crime. If they did, they would address
the skyrocketing crime in red states.
But when they send ice in, it's a game to them.

(00:21):
It's a joke, Christie. No one plays pretend because she
doesn't actually care about crime and she doesn't actually
care about people. The the people, the communities
being ripped apart. Christie, no one and Donald
Trump don't view them as worthy of our humanity or our empathy.
They are smug assholes and that's how they view the world
and no one embodies that smugness more than Jesse Watters

(00:41):
who just stepped in his own shitand broke down because of it.
We're going to get into it all and how Jesse screwed himself.
But before we do, if I could askyou leave a like on this video
and if you haven't already and you enjoy our channel to hit

our work. Now, before we get into Jesse, I
want to start with the lies and the narrative he's been pushing.
Getting called out by JB Pritzker right here.

(01:05):
As someone who has myself peacefully protested since I was
a kid, I understand the sentiments on the ground from
some of the advocates. But I want to say this.
Peaceful protesters are welcome.Federal agents who abuse their
position to terrorize Illinoisans and incite violence

(01:25):
are not welcome. They aren't receiving any orders
from Trump to cease and desist their aggressive behavior.
Remember, they answer only to Trump, not to the people of
Illinois. In case there's any doubt about
that, Gnome Bavino and their agents have been escalating the
situation outside the ICE facility and inhibiting the

(01:48):
Broadview police from doing their jobs.
At one point, state police askedCBP leaders for time to move the
crowd to avoid any unnecessary confrontations.
Rather than give state police time to protect the protesters
and the ICE agents, Christy Gnome chose to drive her
motorcade through the protestersto create clashes.

(02:11):
Shortly after, Bavino came out to threaten mass arrests.
These stories are only scratching the surface.
What ICE is doing right now is an attack on America.
It is an attack on you, your communities, your freedom.
Your freedom to feel comfortablewalking down the street without
your papers. Your freedom to not worry about

(02:32):
your your friend, your coworker,your family member being
abducted off the street by mass thugs.
And, and what's so sad about what's happening right now is
there are copycats. People are pretending to be ICE
because you don't need identification anymore and
they're taking people up off thestreet.
And how would they know the difference?
ICE is causing more crime, but Donald Trump doesn't care,

(02:56):
Christie Noah doesn't care, and Jesse Watters doesn't care.
He made a joke of it, and it wasright after that that he had to
break down on air. We're going to get into it, but
I want to start with the clip inwhich Jesse was joking.
And I do feel conflicted, though, because, you know,
Jessica, when people say, oh, you know, there's this guy and

(03:16):
these ICE people are so crazy, Iget mad because it's a lie.
But then when she says these ICEpeople are abducting and
kidnapping innocent hairdressersand sending them the dungeons to
be tortured, I think, well, that's scaring a lot of illegals
to go home themselves. So the next time Jessica brings
up all these scare stories aboutall these illegals getting

(03:38):
rounded up indiscriminately, innocent people being sent
overseas, I'm just going to say I agree.
Because 2 million illegals have seen these scare tactics that
Jessica likes to talk about and they have left by themselves and
that is actually working on Donald Trump's immigration
policies behalf. What a smug asshole.

(04:02):
What a smug asshole. Oh, oh, people are leaving the
country because they're terrified of being ripped up off
the streets and thrown into the back of a van and deported to a
place where they don't speak thelanguage.
Being illegally detained and thrown in a torture prison.
Oh, they're scared of that? Isn't it so funny?

(04:23):
What these fucks don't understand is the very political
violence they pretend to be. Moan.
Oh, my friend, my friend. Charlie Kirk.
Take it too soon. Fuck Charlie Kirk and fuck you
Jesse Watters. What?
You're in encouraging is political violence.
What you're saying to your viewer is go out and make brown
people scared. That is what Jesse Watters is

(04:44):
saying. Go make people scared.
Create this boogeyman. Talk about crime, hell committed
if you want to. Donald Trump will back you up.
That's what he's saying is fundamentally what they want is
to make brown people scared by lying about crime and attacking
judges who actually want to keeppeople safe.
And it's that right there, thoselies about crime.

(05:04):
They got Jesse Watters into so much trouble, he had to make
himself a little statement righthere.
Didn't last very long. Last Tuesday I spoke about the
criminal history of Alexander Dickey, who had been charged
with the murder of Logan Federico in South Carolina.
I made an error when I stated that former Judge Bentley Price
had treated Dickey as a first time burglary offender and gave
him no prison time. Judge Price was not the judge

(05:26):
who presided over Dickey's 2023 sentencing.
Dickey pleaded guilty in that case, a third degree burglary, a
first time offense, and served just 411 days in prison.
A local news outlet, Wis Ten, reported that the rap sheet
prosecutors used to make the charging decisions in that case
did not have Dickey's complete criminal history.
We also reached out to 11th Circuit Solicitor Rick Hubbard

(05:49):
but did not receive a response. And I regret the error.
Not so fun now, is it, Jesse? Not so fun, huh?
Do you know who I haven't seen make a retraction lately?
Rachel Maddow. I haven't seen Chris Hayes.
I haven't had to do it. Do you know why?
Because I'm not a lying sack of shit who tries to misconstrue

(06:10):
narratives, try to push propaganda for a a billionaire's
corporation to keep people in this country hating each other
instead of seeing that what we really need right now is class
solidarity. No, that's not what I do for a
living, Jesse, but that's what you do.
And I just want to spend the rest of this video shooting on

(06:30):
Jesse Watters. So please sit back, maybe get
some popcorn going because we'regoing to have a lot of fun
talking about what an asshole this guy is.
I want to go back to that clip in which he was encouraging
political violence. Does the right not understand
that what ICE does every single day is political violence?
They use the power of the state to inflict maximum pain on

(06:51):
people as much as possible because that is their goal is to
make a big show of just how evilthat they can be.
And do you know who ICE is currently recruiting?
It is people who are former members of the Proud Boys, of
the Oath Keepers, of any other right wing basement bitch ass
group there is. And that's what these guys are.

(07:11):
Because when you want to go around and say, oh, white power,
oh, we're the superior race. So I have my swastika flag and
you won't show your face. Do you know what you are?
You're a fucking bitch. That's what you are.
When you're ripping people out of their homes and you have a
mask on, you're a bitch, OK, That that's what you are.
And Jesse Watters to spend all fucking day and sorry, I'm

(07:31):
upset. So there's going to be a lot of
language and there's going to bea lot of anger going on.
But they deserve it. They deserve to get called out
for Jesse Watters to spend his life talking about the the Ivy
League educated elite, the New York media.
Oh, the media is so liberal. Jesse, you got the most watched
show on television. You have the biggest show.
You have the biggest cable network.

(07:52):
You are in New York City covering your face and makeup,
lying about elites while protecting the elite pedophiles
who run our country. You're running cover for them,
Jesse. That's your job.
So don't talk to me about eliteswhile our billionaire president
is defending his other billionaire buddy who is

(08:15):
trafficking minors, who's the most notorious pedophile in the
history of this country and who was openly, openly best friends
with Donald Trump. That is the guy you defend.
Those are the guys you defend. So don't even get me started,
Jesse. The smugness that this guy
brings to everything makes my skin crawl.

(08:38):
He doesn't actually care. And this is a a thing that I
struggle with. Of course, the Marjorie Taylor
Greens, the Laurent Boberts of the world, these people are
crazy, but they do believe what they say.
They are crazy, but they believewhat they say.
Jesse Watters doesn't believe what he says.
He does it with a wink and a nod.

(08:59):
JD Vance is the most phony phonythere is.
They don't believe it. They are doing it to grift.
They are doing it to climb the ladder.
And honestly, I don't know whichis worse because they both scare
the shit out of me. But sometimes Marjorie Taylor
Green will say, yeah, maybe allowing these Epstein files to
be held by Donald Trump, refusing to release them to the

(09:21):
public, not a good thing. Now, sometimes I feel like she's
doing that as part of her political gain.
Seem, oh, I'm a regular person. She's not.
I don't want to give Marjorie Taylor Green any credit.
I don't want to take her seriously.
But I'm not going to take Jesse Watters seriously.
Jesse Watters is a joke. He is the joke that he tells.
He is a caricature. He is a puppet of the

(09:42):
billionaire class. That's why when Charlie Kirk was
killed, Republicans don't care about this.
I knew before we even saw DonaldTrump starting to talk about the
ballroom that he was building, being like, guys, quite frankly,
have you? Sorry, I'm going to do the
voice. Have you seen my ballroom?
Oh, Charlie's dead. The body's not even cold yet.
Don't care. Ballroom before that happened.

(10:05):
That moment sounds like these people don't care.
Charlie Kirk wasn't even a real person.
Like Charlie Kirk was simply a puppet of the guys who funded
his show and his movement so that they would encourage young
people to keep voting for Republicans who would cut
billionaires, tax cuts and destroy our future by refusing

(10:27):
to acknowledge climate change. And all the while the world is
getting worse. Distract us by saying oh, you
should be unsafe with a black pilot.
You should feel unsafe. Like Charlie Kirk attacked Black
women for a living. Like he harassed black women for
a living. That was the job of Charlie
Kirk. And do you know what?
Charlie Kirk was in the Oval Office all the time.

(10:49):
He was riding on Air Force 2 with JD Vance.
He was buddies with the president.
So do you know what he was doing?
Committing political violence upon people of color, upon
marginalized groups who he sought to strip the humanity
from. That's what he did.
So it's really hard for us to take you seriously as a person

(11:09):
with all the family, all the families, lots of people have
families, families that you're actively destroying because
they're what's the crime again? Brown.
It's being brown in America is the crime.
I know we're going on a little tangent here.
This is a bit of a rant, but fuck you, Jesse Watters,
seriously, plain and simple. It's that easy.

(11:31):
You are a liar. That is your job.
And it is to lie and to laugh atthose lies as to get us to
believe that they don't have an impact, but they do.
What he does is impactful. It is hurtful.
It is deeply corrupting to the soul of this nation.
And I said, you know who hasn't made retractions?

(11:52):
Me, Maddow. Chris Hayes.
That's a great group, by the way.
Three of us throw Lawrence in there.
We'll get a podcast going, maybe, but they also haven't had
to pay $787 million for lying about an election.
So the next time someone wants to tell you that the media is
liberal, keep in mind that Joe Rogan, Candace Owens, Tucker
Carlson have the biggest podcastin the world even though Midas

(12:15):
Touch is beating them, that Fox is the biggest cable outlet that
there is, and that Donald Trump will censor Jimmy Kimmel and so
he'll censor everybody. By the way, the media is not
liberal, OK? The media needs more liberals,
needs more progressives. That is calling out the
bullshit. Independent media is more
important than ever. Because I hate Jesse Watters.

(12:37):
And I can say that as much as I want, and I'm going to.
And I hope you stuck around through this rant because I've
been feeling all sorts of ways and I'm glad that I get to say
them to y'all and that hopefullyyou empathize.
Hopefully you feel the frustration.
Hopefully you're as angry as I am, and hopefully we see some
damn elected Democrats feel the same way as well and act like

(12:58):
it. But if they don't, we're going
to push them and we're going to keep talking about it every
single day on the show. If you want to support that and
