Why are MAGA Republican leaders losing control on live TV over Trump's war with Los Angeles?
MAGA Republican sheep. I mean, MAGA Republican leaders making total fools of themselves over the weekend on various TV appearance. For example, here you have MAGA Mike Johnson defending Donald Trump potentially using the Marines against Americans. And MAGA Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, says that's peace through strength right there. That's how you do it. Peace through strength is sending the Marines against people inside America. Play this clip.
Secretary Hegseth said that active duty Marines there at Camp Pendleton there by San Diego are on high alert and could be mobilized. Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of Los Angeles?
One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed. I think that's an important signal. You don't
think sending Marines into the streets of an American city is heavy handed?
We had be prepared to do what is necessary. And I think the notice that that might happen might have the deterring effect.
Okay. Peace through strength. Are you out of your mind? What kind of language is that? Attacking Americans with the Marines? Next, I want to show you MAGA Republican Congress member Gonzalez. And here, this is great questioning by the host. who asked Congress member Gonzalez, you know, back in November, this is what you said to all of us. You said if Donald Trump starts going after migrants who are not engaged in crimes, then it's over for Donald Trump, that that is going to be the end of his administration if he starts to do that. Watch Congress member Gonzalez squirm, play this clip.
You said back in November the administration would fail if it began going after nonviolent migrants. You said if the messages were here to deport your abuelita, this is not going to work well. You heard our reporting. People are getting arrested going to court appearances, trying to abide by the law. We have these cases of, for example, a 19-year-old high schooler on his way to volleyball team practice in Massachusetts arrested because his student visa had expired. An Afghan soldier in Houston who used to guard American soldiers at bases with eight kids to his name arrested, even though he entered this country with legal status. Are these people the worst of the worst?
They're not. But when this is what's going to happen is as these 400,000 asylum seekers that are in limbo, if you will, start to get deported. Maria, who's 23 years old, that was from Honduras, that was told to come to the United States for a better life and has gotten married and has had children. As she gets ripped from that life and gets sent back to Honduras, it's going to be very painful for us. What I'd like for us to do is focus on the convicted criminal illegal aliens. Last year, I
But is that happening? Because right now, it looks like they're trying to run up the numbers,
frankly. Last year, I asked the administration what that number was.
How are migrants like Maria affected by the proposed deportations in Los Angeles?
It was 662,000. Last month, I asked, as of July of last year, last month, I asked Secretary Noem, Under oath, I asked her, has that number increased or has that number decreased? She responded that the number of convicted criminal aliens has increased. So that means we have over 600,000. We should absolutely focus on that population, the worst of the worst, and make sure that those are the areas that get removed. Otherwise, it's going to take us down this route of constant civil conflict.
And then here, Congress member Gonzalez says, well, look, I support this escalation. This is what you need to do. You need to escalate right away and put that mob down as soon as possible. The hell are you talking about? You want to escalate to deescalate? That's literally what you don't do. Play this clip.
It's tragic to see what's happening in LA. I spent 20 years in the military. I fought in two wars. I fought to give people the freedom to protest whatever the hell they want to. But what we're seeing in LA are not advocates. We're seeing anarchists. And the president of the United States should absolutely put down the mob as soon as possible.
