But this is, I think, a defining moment for the Democratic Party.

I think if they are not going to take the position that ICE should be abolished the moment a Democratic president comes into office, then you really shouldn't be up on the stage.

It just doesn't make sense.

Like, yes, you may think, OK, if we triangulate and I'll move to the left over here and then back to the center for the general election, we don't want any of that shit.

ICE has gotten to a point—I mean, take a look at what happened in Minneapolis.

If we have a situation in this country where the government can go out and murder a U.S.

citizen without any investigation that is credible, then we've become a Putin-like thugocracy.

And that is not sustainable.

And we can't have a situation where the governor of Minnesota says, we're gonna bring in our National Guard to protect our citizens from ICE.

I mean, we all know where this is gonna end up leading.

It's gonna end up with people shooting at each other in the streets, and we just can't have that in this country.

The problem that we have right now

And I don't want to jump too far ahead, but the problem that we have, I used to call Donald Trump the catch me if you can president when I covered him the first time around.

Now he's the you can't catch me president.

He thinks he is beyond, and this is because of the Supreme Court giving him a blank check.

the immunity decision, saying you can do whatever the fuck you want as president.

And he has said, yeah, OK, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

And so invade Venezuela, invade Greenland, let ICE go crazy across the country.

But you can't have a situation like we had in Minnesota play out all over the country.

The citizens are not going to tolerate it.
