Why does the host call ICE 'a terrorizing goon squad' and how does public opinion factor in?

Angie Sullivan 0:04
ICE is terrorizing people in the streets. The majority of the American public does not approve of ICE, does not approve of their actions. It is very clear that the administration is using ICE as Donald Trump's personal goon squad. You might remember in Trump 1.0, he spoke to people in his administration about admiration for the way Hitler's generals behaved. And we have a lot of American citizens, even children with cancer in ICE custody. And so I imagine that the Democratic front runner for president in twenty twenty eight has a very sense of moral clarity about this issue. I would imagine that he is going to go full tilt on ICE and meet the American public where they are. Let's hear what Gavin Newsom has to say about ICE.
Ben Shapiro 0:59
was a narrative that was immediately pushed by the Trump administration and Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that she was a domestic terrorist who was attempting to run over officers with her car and was legitimately trying not just this officer, but multiple officers. That was the original statement I said at the time. I thought that was untrue. And then your press office tweeted out that it was state-sponsored terrorism. which i mean governor i have to ask you about that that that that sort of thing makes our politics worse yeah and it does yeah and our our ice officers obviously are not terrorists yeah a tragic situation is not state-sponsored terrorism yeah i think that's fair
Angie Sullivan 1:35
Okay, it is state-sponsored terrorism. Him saying, Ben Shapiro saying that makes our politics worse. What makes our politics worse is that an ICE agent shot a woman that didn't need to be shot. And then the United States government called this woman with her black lab in the back seat of her car a terrorist. And Gavin Newsom plays patty cake with Ben Shapiro, who is this for? Who is this for Gavin? Are you trying to get, you always talk about I have Republicans in my family. Are you trying to get those people to respect you? Because what you're doing is taking a grenade and any chance that you had to um uh really solidify the base and go god this guy's a fighter because your press office is right your press office fights this administration tooth and nail and those tweets are popular because people feel like thank god somebody's fighting for us your press office
Angie Sullivan 2:42
didn't gaslight us the way Ben Shapiro and then your acquiescence to him just did. When your press office said that Kristi Noem is a domestic terrorist, she is. What ICE is doing in Minnesota is horrific and it is state sponsored terrorism and start saying it. This isn't a left position. Everybody across the United States of America sees this. This is the don't tread on me. This is the shit that Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, and all these other pink arm, low T, right wing media podcasters were screaming about. We can't have a large federal government that is eroding civil liberties in the streets. And it just amazes me that we want to sit down and play patty cake with Ben Shapiro, who nobody likes his voice, his fingernails on a chalkboard and allow him to dog walk you on something.
Angie Sullivan 3:44
The problem isn't you calling a spade a spade. That's the solution. The problem is the United States government killed an innocent mom of three. And then the ICE agent called her a fucking bitch and turned around and walked off. And now they're investigating the dead woman, the murdered woman and her wife as domestic terrorists. If you can't have moral clarity on this, you cannot lead a resistance and opposition, nor can you lead this country. Because it seems like when push comes to shove, Gavin, when it comes to taxing billionaires, which is a very popular position, among the American electorate, you're on the side of the billionaires. It seems like when it comes to calling out the execution and the murder of an American citizen
Angie Sullivan 4:46
of Trump's goon squad, you sit there and provide daylight with Ben Shapiro. I'm sorry, but this is not, I know that you've been running and I used to really appreciate back in the day when you were San Francisco mayor, your moral clarity about LGBTQ plus stuff.
