Let's talk a little bit about what's happened to you.

First of all, were you freaked out by the fact that you're an independent journalist?

And there is some safety, as someone who used to work at MSNBC, now MSNOW, there is some safety.

There's a whole bunch of lawyers that work for these big corporations.

It's huge safety.

Exactly.

Yeah.

And you didn't have that, right?

Like you do have incredible representation, but were you scared initially?

Just like as it's happening, you're like, oh, they're going to, I mean like this, they charge you while you're in Beverly Hills, I think, right?

And like, well, maybe you knew this was coming because Trump was telegraphing all of it.

But like when it first happens, are you like, oh God, like I got to, I'm on my own here.

This is when they first are charging you.

The country feels like it's falling apart right before our eyes and the people inside it are being silenced.

So we're going to East 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, which is where Alex Preddy was executed by ICE and Border Patrol.

That is not a headline.

That is a human life.

And it is all happening right now.

Do you worry about your own safety being involved in all this?

On my show, Runaway Country, we go where the headlines hit home, from communities under threat to the people fighting to be heard.
