And I want to live in that future for just a moment.

But if you're Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller, who's sort of one of the architects of all of this, and it's like one could say knowingly and willfully recruiting people who are either unqualified or uninterested in following the rules.

And violating the rights of American citizens.

Like, are you hoping that Trump is preemptively pardoning you before you before he leaves office?

And what is your expectation?

Because so much of this feels like, OK, for now, you guys can do this because the circumstances are in your favor.

Right.

But there is going to come a time for accountability and there is going to come a time for the legal and judicial system to hold you accountable.

responsible for for the crimes that have been committed in the country's name.

So like, what's your expectation as far as Trump's exit?

And like, with this stuff in his rearview mirror, what's legally possible for him to do?

I mean, I would assume everyone in the administration gets a preemptive pardon.

What do you what do you would imagine that scenario is like?

Well, I'm here to say that what we have seen and part of the reason you see some semblance of a spinal cord in Congress is because the people, the citizens of this country are out there on the streets, people who are not normally

out there with camera phones following a line of ICE officers as they inflict terror upon communities.

They are enraged.

They are engaged.

I sound like I'm running for office, but they're there.

You know, people have their eyes open to this stuff.

And if the Trump administration thinks that the citizenry will go quietly into this good night, I think they got something else coming for them.
