What are the implications of Texas targeting woke professors?

I think the totality of it does penetrate. We've seen poll after poll lately where Donald Trump is at historic approval ratings down as low as 37 percent. When I worked in the White House, which I view as holy ground, because of the lives that have been sacrificed for the American idea that that building represents. When I would walk in that east wing that is so cruelly torn down, I would get chills at the history of what had happened in that building. I do think the American people get the totality and the thing that donald trump is doing he's tearing down that building but he's tearing down the human infrastructure he's attacking the government employees in this shutdown that is why we at the democracy defender

fund have gone to court with our partners, with the federal employee labor unions and other wonderful partners. We've gotten three TROs. We got the latest one today to say you can't tear down the human infrastructure. You can't fire people. There's no legal basis to do it in a shutdown. He wants to inflict that same same pain. That's not what America is about. So I do think you're seeing a public repudiation of Trump. And of course, we're going to have a referendum on him. New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Supreme Court retention races. And I think you're going to see powerful repudiation. Today, I'm signing an executive order. creating the Illinois Accountability Commission, a body dedicated to truth, transparency, and justice.

How is the public responding to Trump's actions?

Norm Eisen 1:44
The commission will be charged with three core missions. One, creating a public record of the abuses. Two, capturing the impact on families and communities. And three, recommending actions to prevent further harm and to pursue justice. The commission will be led by truly an extraordinary group of highly qualified leaders who reflect Illinois' deep expertise, integrity, and commitment to justice. With support from the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the commission will collect testimony, hold hearings, and gather information and firsthand accounts from individuals, community members, subject matter experts, local officials, journalists, faith leaders, and organizations. The commission and the records they gather will shine more light on the misconduct of Trump's federal agents.
Norm Eisen 2:44
The Trump administration officials have demonstrated on more than one occasion that they are willing to lie to the public and the media to mask their misdeeds. They have already and will continue to cover up abuses of power, cross the legal limits of their authority, and attempt to justify dangerous attacks that threaten our people and our communities. We hope to reveal to the public in Chicago, the state of Illinois, across the nation, and around the world the facts on the ground about what is happening here. We intend to create a detailed record of the truth. And once this all ends, people of good faith will review what this commission has gathered and will demand accountability. Indeed, people are demanding that accountability even now.
Steve Bannon 3:39
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
Unknown 4:01
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Steve Bannon 4:11
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
