We have the World Cup, eight games in the Bay Area, eight games in Los Angeles.

And there's a fear that ICE is going to suppress the local economy with their presence.

I was talking last week at a town hall that I had in San Jose and a woman who works at a grocery store told me,

She asked, she said, when I go to the parking lot at night when my shift ends and somebody rolls up in a van and they're wearing a mask and tell me to get in, are they ICE or are they a bad guy?

And people can't tell right now and they want accountability.

And so I'm very happy to see that Senate Democrats and House Democrats and even some Senate Republicans are saying, we're not going to give these guys a penny until the public executions stop, the masks come off, the identification comes out, and these guys are finally held accountable.

Well, Democrats should not validate or cosign on anything that they're doing.

And if they're going to fund it anyway from money that they had in the past, they can do that.

What we have to telegraph is that when we are in the majority, when we have the power of the purse, and that's not too far away.

In fact, that could be in two weeks.

The margins are so thin in Congress, and some of them are threatening to quit Congress.

right now, but when we're in the majority, we will have a lot more leverage to have the masks come off, to have body cameras on every agent, to get rid of roving patrols, to strip out the qualified immunity that makes them think they're invincible.

And as long as voters know that's what we're gonna do when we're in charge, they'll be with us.

And then if people go to the streets, we go to the courts, and where we have leverage in the House and the Senate, we don't vote for the funding, we can hold this together, get through it, and then win the midterms and cut our time in hell by half.

My pleasure.

Thanks, Jen.
