Just because you have a title does not mean that you have credibility.

This is me hugging you.

Independent journalism looks good on you, by the way.

Yes.

And so the thing is, it's like if if people are going to Fox News to get that same rhetoric, then why can't people turn to CNN to actually get the facts?

Instead, they're giving people like her airtime and it diminishes the credibility of these platforms.

And so I think there has to be some accountability and ownership for people having these false sense of realities, this delusion.

And it's because everywhere we turn, we are being force fed these narratives, these lies.

And so when you really break it down, you're hearing American citizens being asked for their documentation, their paperwork.

If that doesn't make you outraged,

I mean, then then you must want us to live in a dictatorship.

I know here in Minnesota, the ACLU has launched a class action lawsuit because at this point, I believe there's more than a dozen Minnesotans who are U.S.

citizens who have been arrested and detained.

by ICE, including several white individuals.

And so this is actually, in my opinion, transcending beyond just a race issue.

It is an overreach.

It's unconstitutional.

And to just drill down and double down one more time on the media point, when I've had opportunities to speak to our press locally, the thing that I've been calling them out about is if you are going to continue

to be neutral about the dismantling of our democracy, then don't expect to be protected by it.

You can't stand on the sidelines while our democracy is being attacked.
