Don Lemon Pleads NOT GUILTY After STORMING Church, Feds SEIZE His Phone
Don Lemon pleads not guilty after storming a church protest, with feds seizing his phone amid claims of selective enforcement tied to the FACE Act—used against both anti-abortion activists and left-wing demonstrators. Critics argue his case reflects a double standard, while others warn Democrats may weaponize prosecutions against conservatives post-Trump. Meanwhile, Rayden Tanner Coleman faces terrorism charges for plotting to behead ICE agents, exposing tensions over violence against right-wing targets. Eileen Gu’s Olympic defection raises concerns about immigrant patriotism and dual loyalties, contrasting with Korean-American athletes’ embrace of U.S. values. The episode ties legal, cultural, and political battles into a broader clash over America’s identity, radicalization, and the future of conservative resistance. [Automatically generated summary]
Nobody's really particularly surprised about that, but it is worth noting that the Justice Department has his cell phone and they've got a warrant to go through it.
So we're going to get into that.
We're going to talk about a woman in South Kansas City who decided that she was going to set a warehouse on fire because she thought that it was going to be a new ICE detainment facility.
So we'll get into that.
There was a plot, or no, the top prosecutor for Matthews County in Virginia was found dead in her driveway, the state police say.
So we'll get into that a little bit.
And we've got some information on an Oregon man that was indicted on terrorism charges over a plot to behead ICE agents in Portland.
So we're going to talk about all that stuff.

From NBC News, Don Lemon pleads not guilty to Minnesota church protest charges.
The former CNN anchor was inside a church on January 18th when protesters disrupted a service.
A pastor there, demonstrators alleged, worked for ICE, as if that justifies it, right?
From St. Paul, Minnesota, journalist and former CNN anchor Don Lemon pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges connected to his coverage of protests over federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
I mean, I love the fact that right off the bat, they're taking his side, right?
Like they're not saying that he was a participant.
They're saying that he was covering it.
So they're poisoning the well right off the bat.
But NBC continues.
During the brief, highly procedural hearing, Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Mikko reminded Lemon of his constitutional rights and asked if he understood the charges against him.
Lemon answered in the affirmative before the judge said he was free to travel unless he were to violate any state or federal laws.
A prosecutor also revealed on Friday that authorities seized Lemon's phone during the arrest and have obtained a warrant so they can look into it.
Now, that I think is the actual interesting part.
Considering Lemon was, I mean, like I said earlier, he was, you know, if you, if you watch the videos, he was very much a participant, right?
So, so you, he's going to use, obviously, he's using the defense that, you know, it's the First Amendment right to cover this stuff, et cetera.
But he showed up with coffee for all the people that were the protesters.
You know, he was saying we, he continued to use the collective and thank things.
There's a video going around where there's a bunch of women, like fat liberal women outside of his, where he's being, you know, where whatever's happening in Minnesota, where he's there.
And it's just fat liberal woman waving around dildos.
I think technically anyone that says that they're press nowadays kind of can be press, particularly when you're not going into a place where you have to get authorization from officials or what have you.
And they certainly weren't looking for authorization from the church.
They just stormed in and interrupted the service.
And I mean, from what it looked like on the videos that I saw, they were intimidating parishioners, trying to scare people.
Don Lemon made comments afterwards about how he saw that people were intimidated and that was basically a good thing, or at least that's what he was alluding to.
That's why, by the way, I believe that church was targeted in particular because they not that that makes it right, but that's the reason why they targeted that church.
But I think it's such a bastardization of the First Amendment.
I think if the founders saw that the First Amendment was being used to justify a bunch of ICE protesters storming into a church and disrupting a church service, I think they'd be very, very disappointed.
I can't speak for them, of course, but I think they are rolling in their graves because it is such a bastardization of what the First Amendment was there for.
And it's like the gall of these people to say, oh, it's your First Amendment right to go in and storm a church while they're having a church service.
Well, not only that, just storming in and interrupting, that violates the First Amendment rights of all the people that are in the church.
Like people are forgetting about the fact that the protection of religious services or your right to express yourself or to practice your religion, that's in the First Amendment as well.
So that your desire to cover the protest or your right to protest does not trump your right to express yourself in your religious life.
Well, look, as a kid that grew up going to church multiple times a week, I would have loved if some protesters stormed in during one of my church services just to mix things up a little bit, dude.
These churches, they're not a public place, so I don't think most reasonable people would think they're fair game for like First Amendment protests.
But as far as the Don Lemon stuff goes, I don't know if it rises to the, you know, the occasion of like collaboration or whatnot.
I think what I saw was that he recorded them, knew about it ahead of time, which many journalists are tipped off ahead of time when protesters do stuff like this, both on the right and the left.
And then the bringing the coffee thing.
I don't know if that like rises to the occasion of collaboration.
I still think Don Lemon's a piece of shit, and I still think he engaged in some harassment.
And I think his goal was still to encourage the people there, but I think it's like a dangerous standard to try to achieve.
I'm still old enough to remember when me and other reporters were covering the January 6th riot and inside the Capitol.
And Elisha Schaefer in particular, I remember, I believe he was in Nancy Pelosi's office, even, but he wasn't charged with anything.
Not that he shouldn't have been.
And some journalists get some protections here.
I think the punishment, the process is the punishment in this case with the DOJ going after Don Lemon.
And that's the case for a few other cases that they have going on.
Well, regarding Tish James, I think the punishment, the process is the punishment.
And same with James Comey.
I think the process is the punishment.
This is something Trump himself went through.
So when he's throwing it back in the faces of these people, I don't think he really gives a shit.
What would you say to people that say things like, well, you know, the law that he's being charged under protects people that are going to abortion clinics as well as people that are expressing, you know, going to a religious service or whatever.
And there have been a bunch of times where people have been arrested or the cops have said to people that are protesting abortion, move along, et cetera.
If you get arrested for praying outside of an abortion clinic, I can't see how this wouldn't rise to the same level of offense if he's going into the church, right?
So if you're outside of an abortion clinic praying silently, right?
Or talking to people, you say, oh, hey, do you really want to do this?
Are you sure you want to have an abortion?
If someone's going to do that and they're going to get arrested for that behavior, then I think that Don Lemon going into the church, I think that all the people that went into the church, I think that rises to the same level of intimidation.
I think the protest leader that led the people into the church is being charged.
Also, I don't think people are pro-lifers.
Kingman, maybe you could fact-check me on this one.
So far as the people outside of the abortion clinics, they don't get arrested, but I do think there was a group of people who went inside these abortion clinics, refused to leave.
Those people were charged.
The president eventually ended up pardoning them.
That doesn't justify the stuff that goes on in the church.
And the protesters who went into the church are being charged.
But for example, do you think the pro-life activist media person who goes into the clinic with the protesters should also be arrested if they're just filming it, even if they do have an affinity for the pro-life groups?
I think it is a modern-day genocide that many people look over just because the babies are small.
But I do think that there are, there have been cases of grandmas who are literally just praying peacefully outside of abortion clinics and they were arrested by the Biden administration.
And so it wasn't just only like super aggressive anti-abortion activists who go into the abortion clinics.
Like it's literally grandmas who are praying outside, of course, vocally, and they got arrested by the Biden administration.
I believe there was someone who said a pastor who went into Grock says that there have been people.
Yes, people have been arrested while positioned outside or near abortion clinics in the United States.
These arrests are not for peacefully standing or praying silently without any additional action.
Arrests typically stem from specific violations, physically blocking, trespassing on private property, which Don Lemon definitely did, disorderly conduct, which that is what Don Lemon has done, resisting arrest during protests, interfering with business operations.
So essentially, it boils down to there have been people that have been arrested when it comes to abortion under the same law.
And so if so, because of that, I would say that what Don Lemon engaged in absolutely rises to the same level.
And it's like, I don't know how you wouldn't make the claim that he wasn't collaborating.
I don't think you can make the claim he wasn't collaborating with them when he literally got them coffee and he was saying, we, we did this.
Hey, good job to them and congratulating them.
And he went with them.
And the fact that, I mean, I just, I'm sure you guys have seen the pictures of like the children crying and scared.
And there's tons of stories that come out from the people who are actually there of, you know, these ICE protesters getting really violent, really in the faces of children, telling, like saying obscenities in their face, not letting them go anywhere.
Let's say I was the journalist who was tipped off about this event and decided to, I didn't bring coffee and I didn't say we while being there, but I then otherwise recorded everything going on.
Should I be indicted for anything if that were the case?
But if you're just there to document what was going on, then yes, it's fine because it's just journalism.
But clearly, Don Lemon had an agenda, I feel like.
And it's just clear by all available evidence that he was proud to be there and he was happy to be there and he was happy to collaborate with these violent protesters and these agitators who went in and disrupted church service.
I mean, I understand your point a lot, but I think that the real facts on the ground, the fact that the government has prosecuted people for the FACE Act, which that's the particular law that was broken, for things like inhibiting, trespassing, et cetera, that standard has already been set.
And so when the FACE Act was passed, the inclusion of religious services and stuff, that was like a gimme to get Republicans to sign on, right?
Like really, they were focusing on abortion clinics.
That's why it was created.
They were worried about conservatives and pro-life people protesting or talking to people as they go in and being, and again, do you really want to do this, et cetera?
And so they threw it in there to give a bone to conservatives because nobody protests churches, you know, unless it was, unless it was, you know, I can't, unless it was like Scientology, I think they get protests sometimes.
But otherwise, like for the most part, religious services were fairly benign and most people didn't, you know, didn't think it would ever come to anything.
And so I think that because of the history with the FACE Act, I think that precedent has been set.
And now I think it's incumbent on the Justice Department to actually follow through and prosecute these people.
And I think Don Lemon is actually, you know, one of the people that made this a national story.
If he received the footage, like if these protesters had strapped on GoPros, they trespassed, they scared, they did whatever, and then they sent the footage to Don Lemon and he's like, oh, I'm going to report on this.
That's no crime there.
But if you've been part, it's like a bank robbery.
If you, as the reporter, participate with the robbers to go commit the crime and you're there with them inside the bank recording them, you've stepped over a line.
But if you're tipped off to potential criminal activity going on in the future, so these protesters will often tip off journalists to come cover their events.
And if he goes, the fact that he went straight to the pastor means that he was in communication with these protesters because they ostensibly went there because the protester was allegedly working with ICE.
Even if this guy wasn't the guy, if there was a different pastor that was working with ICE, Don Lemon went to the pastor because he knew that they were going there because someone was working with ICE.
Don Lemon literally went with these protesters to agitate this pastor or a pastor who works at this church to find out who is this pastor who loves ICE, works with ICE, et cetera.
And so I think it is very clear that he went with clear intent.
Yeah, and that's not even bringing up Don Lemon's personal politics, which are, of course, very, very progressive and very leftist.
This is all stuff that we're talking about, just the facts on the ground, never mind being like mentioning the fact that it's likely that he didn't agree with the religious people and he agreed with the protesters.
Like that's something that may come up, particularly because, again, they have his phone, they have a warrant, they're going to look into it.
And so if he was communicating with them and he knew about, you know, knew to the extent that the protest was going to be, then again, this only adds to Don Lemon's problems.
Because there's a couple of priests, Kingman, maybe you know their name specifically because it's escaping me, but it was these famous pro-life priests who would go around to these abortion clinics, go inside, end up getting arrested.
And it was because they repeatedly did that.
They eventually went to jail.
Trump pardoned them.
But even you, a pro-life advocate, I suspect you don't even know the name of these guys.
I think we don't rally around the pro-life flag on the right as many on the left will rally around the anti-ICE messaging.
And that's why I think he's becoming more of a hero.
People on the right, people in our country don't really care about pro-life issues, and therefore they're less sympathetic to those breaking the law to bring attention to that issue, as opposed to ICE and immigration.
People think they're totally justified in obstructing both ICE officers and even churches, church services, so long as it justifies and makes them feel good about the cause that they're fighting for.
I think that because the left is more vocal about this kind of stuff, particularly now because Donald Trump's in office, Roe versus Wade was recently overturned.
I think that it's a hot-button issue.
I think that because Donald Trump is in office now, the focus on immigration and stuff like that, that's a big deal.
But I think that there are probably conservative people tend to be just that, a little more conservative.
And I think that people that are pro-life, whereas they won't go and be so boisterous about it, I think that they still will be like, well, that was a good thing for him to do.
But I think there is where, as yes, I don't want to make Don Lemon this martyr for this progressive cause and he's fighting against the fascists and the evil Donald Trump.
I do think that it is also incumbent on the Trump administration and the Trump DOJ to set a precedent to tell leftists and progressives, hey, we're not going to tolerate this.
And the more that we acquiesce enforcing the law that is in place and punishing people who agitate and hurt people or firebomb buildings and things like that, the more that we acquiesce and say, okay, we're going to stick to decorum.
We don't want to, you know, if we do it, like imagine if they'll do it against us.
Like, I just don't think we're in a place in America anymore where we can kind of stick to those utopian ideals and this vague abstractions of principles when they are literally killing us and they're shooting us and they're celebrating it and they're bombing us and it's like, and nothing happens because, oh no, it's fascism to arrest these people.
And so I think it is really incumbent on the Trump administration to say, no, we're going to have an end to this and all your leftist antics, your violent agitations and all these things, we're not going to tolerate anymore.
And we need more of that like heavy hand for like Trump to rule with the iron fist.
They'll call him a fascist no matter what.
No matter what he does, he's going to be a Nazi.
He's going to be evil Hitler.
So if they're going to call you that no matter what, the progressives are going to call you that no matter what.
It is incumbent on Trump, I believe, and the DOJ to go and enact justice to protect those who are truly most vulnerable.
Like, like, doesn't like, again, he might not end up being convicted, but if he's indicted, he has to go through and charge.
He needs to go through the entire process.
If you're indicted, same again with James Comey, Tish James.
If you're indicted, you still need to defend yourself, even if you aren't convicted.
And that process is the punishment in many ways.
So, you know, I mean, it's not the way the criminal justice system was set up.
It wasn't meant to be that, you know, we're just indicting somebody and therefore you are guilty.
You know, you are innocent until proven guilty, but then you still need to hire a lawyer, go through the process, be stressed out about being investigated by the DOJ.
All your shit's probably being stared at by, you know, intelligence agencies and whatnot.
I think that, I think, to your point, Aladdin, if they don't, if they don't, if they fail to get a conviction, I think that people are going to look at the Trump administration as weak.
I think that guys are already the kind of the right, the base of the right wing.
They're already upset with the Trump administration.
They're not doing deportations fast enough.
Trump's not doing this, not doing that.
I think that if they fail to get a conviction, it's going to be actually bad for the administration.
I want to follow up on the SAVE Act and get these specific details here because I think it's really pertinent to what we're talking about.
So if I could please have 30 seconds to read this off.
So, a Catholic priest who blocked access to a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic could face up to one year in prison after being found guilty Monday of violating the FACE Act.
On the morning of July 7th, 2022, Father Fidelis McKinsky, 52, a priest of a Church of Renewal, effectively shut down a Planned Parenthood in Greater New York in the town of Hempstead, according to the DOJ.
He placed locks and chains on the gated entrance and covered some of them with glue, and that prevented anybody from getting through the gate and then accessing their pre-planned health care.
Not even all of these were for abortions.
I believe he was convicted and then eventually pardoned.
I know you're sympathetic to the pro-life cause.
Despite that, do you think he should have been charged based on the actions that he took?
I just also think it wasn't just these guys standing outside.
They may have been arrested, but the people who were charged outside of these Planned Parenthoods were doing more than just standing around and trying to talk to people who were going in.
Well, but if you are sympathetic to that cause, then hypothetically, you would say those protests are justified.
Again, people protest around the country all the time, and their actions, people, I feel like, view them as justified whether or not they're sympathetic to the right.
But the difference is like we're right and they're wrong.
So, and I guess that's where why politics is so difficult in this country because we don't operate from the same moral framework, not even like a semblance of a similar moral framework where the left wants to kill babies no matter what.
The right is this amalgamation of different actions of like pro-choice, but not until birth and pro-life and they're like really anti-abortion and just like different people exist in the right wing.
But the commonality among the right wing is that they love this country and they love America, whereas the left wants to like burn it all down.
And so I think that's why it's very difficult to have any sort of political conversation in this country with those who disagree with us for right versus left.
But also, I think it's very important then for us to understand why it's very, very dangerous for the left to get political power again.
Because once they wield political power, regardless of whether or not Don Lemon is convicted, they'll use his indictment.
They'll use this whole process to say, we're going to go after Trump and we're going to go after Trump supporters and conservatives and things like that.
And so it is very important.
This is where I don't really agree with a lot of the people on the right who are, you know, the dissident right, who are like, oh, let's just let it all burn.
Just let the Democrats win.
Well, no, I don't want to see my fellow Christians and my fellow conservatives and my patriots locked up like they were in January 6th with like hundreds of grandmas in solitary confinement.
And to your point, like the way that the Democrats are positioning themselves now, if they were to like win and, you know, like the decision right says, though, let it let them win.
It'll get so bad and then people will wake up and then people will actually want to see something happen, a strong man come in.
I don't think that that's a good idea because the Democrats are positioning themselves where if they win, they're going to make it impossible for the right to ever win again.
Like that, whether it be by expanding the court and getting rid of the filibuster and adding states or what have you know, gerrymandering or whatever.
So there's representation in Congress.
There's no representation for conservatives in Congress.
That's the goal of the left is to get a permanent left-leaning majority in Washington, D.C.
And they've done it in California.
They've done it in Massachusetts.
They've done it all over New England.
So it's possible to do that for the whole country.
And then it'll just be like, well, okay, it was cool when we had a chance, but because people decided, oh, well, we're blackpilling and we're mad that Donald Trump isn't doing enough stuff for us, we're just going to let it all burn down.
And if you let it all burn down, it really is the end for the right.
There is no coming back from what the Democrats are planning.
Yeah, you want to exercise prosecutorial discretion from time to time because like you were saying, you have a nation of laws.
If you don't enforce the laws, the nation kind of becomes a mockery of itself.
If it can't enforce laws.
But if it can and it chooses not to, there are situations where like what you were just saying, Davey is like, yeah, maybe you don't like fan of flames.
Maybe, maybe, but the thing is now this is also precedent.
So if Lemon does this again, he'll get the book thrown at him like 20 years in prison kind of thing because it's already been like, bro, you did it once.
Don't do it again.
Don't support illegal trespassing and promote it to a million people.
So I don't know if you could get away with like throwing the book at him the second time if you don't charge him the first time.
So it's kind of like, look, we charged you once before.
Obviously, you can't.
So I don't know.
I was going to say you can't charge him for the same crime twice, but if he does it again.
If he does it again at a different place, it's different.
Yeah.
So, you know, someone can be charged for the same crime if they did another instance of it.
Like, if you murder someone and you get found not guilty for charges, you're not going to be like, well, we can't charge him for murder anymore because he beat the first person.
All right, we're going to jump to this story from KMBC News.
Woman seen trying to set fire to South Kansas City warehouse tied to previous ICE detention proposal.
Let's see.
A woman was seen trying to set fire to a South Kansas City warehouse on Thursday, the same site that had been proposing as a possible immigration detention center.
Video from our crew shows the woman igniting window areas at the building and flames briefly flaring up.
KMBC9 reporter Andy Allock says he witnessed the woman throw what appeared to be a liquid onto the windows before the fire started.
The warehouse has been the focus of protests and public concern after report surface that it could be.
So maybe during the process, they helped encourage.
It sounds like during the process of when they were trying to sell it to the government, protests and attacks helped encourage them to not do the sale.
So in essence, they actually achieved what their main goal was, which is nerve-wracking.
Pingman, to follow up on that point, I know in our country right now, the political divide among men and women is increasing, but it's not nearly as bad as the political divide between men and women in Korea.
What do you think we can do politically, socially, to try to bridge these divides?
I mean, in Korea, if the men and women don't get along sometime soon, there won't be any Korea left for us.
I think if you actually look at the data, women in America are much more left-wing than the women in Korea.
It's just that the men in Korea are just so much more right-wing.
But it's like most women in Korea don't, they don't hate men.
If you go to Korea, you're going to be, you're just going to see couples everywhere, everywhere you go.
Yeah, it's going to be a guy and a girl holding hands, being really lovey-dovey.
You cannot escape it.
Even in the wintertime, maybe wintertime, the Christmas time, it's romantic, it's nice.
But when I was there this past month, it was just couples everywhere, couples everywhere, but no children.
And that's the problem.
Like they're not getting married because they essentially have the benefits of traditional marriage, right?
They spend time together, they're in love, they have sex, all this stuff, but they don't commit to each other because when they commit to each other, there's still this understanding in Korean culture that when you get married, that the woman is the one primarily taking care of the children.
But, you know, the women don't want to give up their careers.
And then so because of that, they delay marriage and then they delay childbearing.
And so they're just not having children.
And if you look at the stats too, that only 2% of childbirths in South Korea are outside of wedlock.
Whereas in America, it's like 40 to 50%.
So this idea of childbearing is still traditional in Korea, where it's like, okay, if we're going to have children, we need to do it within marriage.
But they don't want to have children because it's going to be an impediment to their career.
So that's why they delay marriage.
They delay having children.
So if you look at the gender divide in Korea, it's not like women are out there like, I hate women.
And then a woman, women are not like, I hate men.
And then the men aren't like, I hate women.
It's not like that.
It's much more like materialistic in nature.
It's really, I would say, like exacerbated by the extreme competitiveness of corporate culture and things like that in Korea.
But I do think one part of it is the fact that Koreans are so mobile within Korea.
And then so they can't form communities.
Korea has one of the highest percentages of people of their population living in apartments.
And if you know anything about apartments, you don't really talk to your neighbors typically.
People move in and out all the time and you're isolated.
So then if you're isolated from the rest of the world and you're a mother, you're trying to raise your child, but you're like isolated.
You don't have help.
You don't have your parents.
You don't have your relatives.
You don't have other people in your life, your friends who can help you.
It's very isolating.
And then so who would want that in a modern society to have children and then to raise them up in your own home?
And this is actually something we need to talk about in America too, where the idea of the nuclear family, of course, I believe in the nuclear family, but we need to understand that it does take a village to raise a kid, where asking a woman to just be alone with children all day by herself with the children with no help from her parents, from her siblings, from people in her community.
It kind of sucks.
Like she's just by herself with her children.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
Yeah, it's just unsustainable.
Like no one lived like that in all of human history.
No woman has lived like that.
And so if we want to go back to a traditional lifestyle for families and for marriages, then we also have to restructure society and kind of take a step back, press the brakes and say, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The way that modern society is structured, it doesn't allow for traditional ways of living.
And I think that that's really exacerbated in Korea because Korea went from being one of the poorest countries in the war, in the world after the Korean War to rapid industrialization to becoming now one of the richest.
And so there's a lot of problems there for people.
Only so long as they're on the SSRIs, but once they hop off of them, I keep thinking about this the fall of the Soviet Union as being kind of a turning point for the limpness of the American male and probably female.
Like, we live in fantasy candyland since 89, since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Every American was like, we own the world now.
We don't have to fight to protect.
We have machines that'll do that for us.
And like, dudes kind of just slothered into their video games and their entertainment.
I've heard a lot of women talking about how women's needs for a partner start with security first and then attraction beyond that.
Because that's what they have with the shit test and everything like that, because they want to make sure this person is someone that can be relied upon.
Because back traditionally, it would be like the father's family would give the woman to another family in a sense.
That's how it was.
And that's just the modern representation of that.
It's like, can this person stand up for me and protect me?
Someone was talking that when it kind of busted onto the scene and was a big topic on social media, I forget who it was that was talking about it, but the reason that it's like all these animals now is because men, feminists kind of have like looked at men and said, men are terrible, but they still want the same kind of animistic.
All right, we're going to jump to this story from the post-millennial.
I'm not sure how we got onto this stuff, but it actually ties into the story that we were talking about earlier.
Again, from the post-millennial breaking, Oregon man indicted on terrorism charges over a plot to behead ICE agents in Portland.
That's a happy headline.
A grand jury has indicted an Oregon man on new terrorism charges stemming from an intricate plot to kill ICE agents in Portland.
Rayden Tanner Coleman.
Good lord, that guy doesn't have a father.
18 of St. Helens faces new charges of first-degree attempted domestic terrorism and second-degree domestic terrorism.
The charges handed down by a Columbia County grand jury on Thursday are in addition to the 13 original charges that included six counts of unlawful manufacturing of a destructive device, six counts of unlawful possession of a destructive device, and attempted second-degree assault.
Prosecutors said that Coleman did unlawfully and with intent attempt to cause widespread serious physical injury or death and attempt to destroy or substantially damage critical infrastructure.
Coleman, who was arrested on February 4th, will be adrained on Friday afternoon.
And Deputy District Attorney Joshua Pond filed a notice seeking a harsher sentence per core records.
According to a probate cause affidavit, Coleman allegedly devised an intricate plan to follow ICE agents home as they left the facility on McAdam Avenue and kill them, including by beheading and taking their severed heads as trophies.
His plan detailed utilizing night vision goggles to stalk their whereabouts and wearing camouflage clothing to blend in.
Where has this guy got the money for night vision goggles?
Investigators found Coleman in possession of surveillance equipment, tactical axes, military knives, shovels, and homemade explosive devices, including Moltov cocktails, which were located in his vehicle during his arrest.
Coleman also had been making payments toward the purchase of an AR-15, according to court documents.
So to Aladdin's point earlier, you know, these leftists really are getting far more brazen in their attacks.
I mean, there's obviously all the attacks in Texas on the ICE facilities.
There was a couple, I think there were three immigrants that were illegal immigrants that were killed when the shooter was shooting into the ICE facility, and he was trying to kill ICE agents, but he ended up killing illegal immigrants.
Do you think that this kind of stuff, or do you guys think this kind of stuff is going to be more prevalent in the coming years?
Or do you think that this is going to reach an apex soon and kind of peter out?
I don't know if we have a, I don't know if I specifically have a blind spot to this, only noticing this happening for leftist causes and I'm maybe missing all the right-wing causes this violence is done for.
But no, I see this as like normalized on the left and encouraged by the left.
Shout out to, you know, going back to even Charlie Kirk not too long ago being murdered.
Obviously, there were two Israeli consulate staffers who were murdered in Washington, D.C. not too long ago.
And these, the fire bombings of potential ICE facilities or attacks on ICE agents or doxing of ICE agents, it just doesn't seem uncommon.
It seems to be normalized and almost appreciated by people on the far left.
They believe the ends justify the means and they think these people are genuinely evil and they are superheroes fighting against them.
They think they're like, I don't know, Batman or Superman punching like Adolf Hitler in the face comic style.
And when you have people who are so self-absorbed and so self-important, I think you're only going to see more of this stuff.
So this really begs the question, which TikTok did this kid see before being encouraged to go try to, you know, kill ICE officers?
But for people who bitch and moan about dehumanization all the time, they sure love to dehumanize people who don't think that they are the opposite gender.
It's so scary because there's millions of people who feel this way.
Like millions of people who feel this way, that if you are a right-wing person, anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton, you deserve to die because you are dehumanizing me and you are taking away my rights.
There's a guy in Texas running that said that he's literally running on a platform to kill Donald Trump.
That was the way that he phrased it.
And he was talking about, well, we're going to find him guilty.
We're going to arrest him.
We're going to find him guilty and we're going to get capital punishment.
Didn't bother to mention what crime he was going to be charged with.
Didn't bother to mention what crime he had committed that was worthy of capital punishment.
But he was making it very clear that capital punishment was going, that was his goal, that he was get him elected and he was going to make sure that Donald Trump was brought up on charges that would lead to a death penalty.
I think that's what makes Democrats, like, I don't like Republicans either, but I think this is what makes Democrats really pernicious is that they know what they're saying is absolute bullcrap, but they live off the delusions of useful idiots who eat it up, where these useful idiots on college campuses, on Reddit, they genuinely believe that Donald Trump is worse than Adolf Hitler.
And so they believe that, yes, we need to go out and kill all the supporters of so-called worse than Hitler.
And then this is why left-wing violence has become so normalized in our society, where it seems like there is a left-wing attack in the West every other week.
Like we just had a trans shooter in Canada target multiple children, murder multiple children, and somehow the left is completely silent about that.
But if you look at his posts, Matt Walsh was calling out that trans person, that shooter's post years ago about, hey, these people are getting really radicalized on the internet and then nothing's being done because they are a protected class and we can't dehumanize them and they are somehow protected under civil rights legislation.
Yeah, the dance that they do only helps the trans people that are the shooter.
Like if you refuse to use the actual biological sex of a person because you're going to offend the trans community when it was a trans, a trans woman, it was a guy that shot these 10 people or something like that killed his parents, then went to a school and decided to shoot a bunch of kids.
If the government and the media still won't come out and say, look, okay, this was a mentally ill person.
This is a person that had a disorder and was on drugs.
And they totally ignore that stuff.
And they say, oh, it was a person, a trans person, a woman in a dress is another thing that I heard someone saying, a woman in a dress about a guy in a dress that was shooting people.
The fact that the media still plays into it only helps these people, only protects these people that are carrying out these heinous crimes.
Think that that's like a what I take is a global conspiracy to actually do this to the United States to get it to destroy itself from within.
So, like to answer your question, Phil, is this going to keep happening?
I think the plan, it looks like, is radicalize the people of the United States by destroying their economy and flooding their country with fentanyl, weird petrochemicals, drugs, feed them crap, they'll eat it in the US.
They'll ban it in Europe, but they'll eat it in the U.S., make them androgynous, and then have the make it normalize it.
And then when they fight, then the people are going to be like the response to like radical, call me my pronoun is, I would rather see you worst of the worst.
Are you kidding me?
You're going to push me to say something that I know isn't true.
Like, you can't compel my speech and behavior.
So, then what that'll happen is it will radicalize both sides more.
And then I think you will see more of this up until people start begging for a technocracy to come in and use spy tech, global spy tech, to make sure no one can do this kind of thing because we're all being tracked at every moment, like what Larry Ellison wants to do: make ours all tracked at every moment so that we can't commit crimes.
And people will beg, even people on the right, begging for this technology to protect them from these crazy trans shooters.
And it's like it's an op.
It's an op.
We're supposed to be free and have gun rights and protect our individuals, you know?
It's not rare for trans people to go and shoot up schools or whatever anymore.
Nowadays, it's actually very common to have trans people that are attacking, you know, society in one way or another.
So the fact that that was Sky News, the fact that the anchor for Sky News was not just, you know, not just talking about what had happened, but actually even trying to tell people that this is a rare thing because women don't do this.
Even rolling this back to the, like, how do we, how do people get encouraged to transition?
It's, again, people who feel legitimately uncomfortable with their bodies, which can be okay, but that doesn't mean you need to butcher your own body.
So, again, it really is taking advantage of retards, young women, and the mentally ill because those people are the most susceptible ones to think they have issues with their body and are the most likely to be and most capable of being taken advantage of.
Maybe we were talking about this when we were in Florida on one of the shows.
The incidences of anorexia and bulimia have dropped, whereas the incidences of trans men, trans women, or no, trans men has increased.
A lot of it is body dysmorphia.
The trans situation that we've got going on, it's actually a manifestation of a bunch of different things in females and women.
It tends to be body dysmorphia.
Whereas when it comes to trans women, men, it tends to be things like autogynophilia and mental disorder or other mental disorders, but it's manifests as trans.
Well, that's why you've seen like a large part of the gay population disassociate from the trans movement.
The other thing that I think is really interesting is seeing some of the detransition now, where like they, it was almost like a fad at school and everyone was doing it.
So now I'm, you know, and you see these people that are detransitioning and telling their story about that.
And the way they get attacked by the trans community is mind-blowing.
Getting people to turn on huge segments of society is like genetically, we're predisposed to genetically being pointed at the enemy and go probably because our ancestors, those were the people that survived.
They weren't the good guys, but they were the people that would mobilize the masses and get them to kill a bunch of people.
And they're like, see, now we're in charge.
And it's like, it's so easy to manipulate people into hating and killing.
It's got to be, we evolved to a point where we stop that way of being.
It's got to happen.
Like if there's going to be a great war superseded by AI that like takes care of people that are psychotic, I don't know, man.
Talking about detransitioners, there was just a D-transitioner that was awarded $2 million because her mother felt pressured by the psychologist and by the doctor.
The child was 15 when she started dressing like a boy and began social transition.
And then 11 months later, it's when she got surgery.
It's particularly pernicious for young women because when young women start puberty, it's a very traumatic time for them.
They're used to being viewed in one way without breasts.
And now they're beginning to be sexualized and they just want to stay the way it was.
And, you know, they don't want to be viewed differently by their peers.
And that doesn't mean they're not a woman anymore.
But the way that it manifests in the way people try to abuse them is by encouraging them to be men and telling them that they're men and tricking them and saying double mastectomy.
It'll go back to how things were beforehand, but it's not the truth.
And misleading young women, I think, is particularly traumatic.
And Davey, I think you were spot on.
Part of why they get so much hate too is because they delegitimize the cause so effectively.
So I actually know some detransistor, D-transistors.
And, you know, to that point about, you know, that happening as teenagers, if you talk to normies, like people that are not particularly politically aware, they'll tell you, no, that doesn't happen to kids.
I have no idea the kind of books that is being shown to kindergartners and preschoolers.
It's absolutely insane.
I really do think it's really sad because whether it's anorexia and bulimia or it's the modern social contagion of transgenderism when it regards like in regards to women, it's like all these young women all just want to be loved, right?
They just all want to be loved.
And all of these social contagions are just attacks on their very, you know, rudimentary and, you know, just very basic desire to be loved.
And this is why it's like very important as men too.
Where, you know, I do rag on a woman a lot on social media, but I really do.
No, but I do care about the general well-being of women because I believe that men and women should complement one another.
And as men, yes, we need to call out the faults and the sins of women in modern society, but we also need to step up as men and be show women that, hey, like there are good men who exist where we can, yeah, we can be fun, we can be crass, we can crack jokes and all these things, but we also mean business and we will protect you when push comes to shove.
And to give them that security and just to let them know, like, hey, it's okay to be a woman.
Yeah.
I think that's really, really needed because healthy masculine energy complements and brings out healthy feminine energy.
And then the vice versa, you know, healthy feminine energy brings out healthy masculine energy.
There was a trend or whatever that was going on on Instagram and TikTok where like a girl would be like, oh, what's going through my head?
And we're walking down the street.
And she's like, da-da-da-da, like not paying attention to anything.
And then she goes, and it switches to her boyfriend.
That's like, okay, that guy looks weird.
We're going to move over here.
Okay.
If someone comes out this door.
And it's like that really kind of encapsulates what a relationship should be like.
You allow by being a man that will take care of your woman and protect your girlfriend or your wife or whatever and protect your family and take the responsibility that comes along with that.
You allow the woman to go ahead and say, you know what?
I trust this guy.
I believe that he'll protect me so I can worry about things that, you know, that I can, you know, women want to worry about.
Women don't want to worry about being attacked and stuff like that.
You hear women, particularly feminists and stuff, they say, you know, we shouldn't have to worry about this and we shouldn't have to worry about that.
I shouldn't have to.
And you know what?
To be honest with you, you shouldn't.
You're right.
And it's terrible that there are people out there that will take advantage of you and hurt you.
But we live in the real world and that kind of danger has been a reality for all of human history.
And so that's why if you're a man, you are responsible for taking care of your girlfriend.
That's why, if you're a man, it is expected that, like, if some dude comes up, you're going to be the one that gets in the way and gets punched in the face, you know?
The best thing you can do for your, the best thing a man can do for his children is to love his wife in front of like not sexually, but like in front of them.
When I pissed off the Indians earlier last year, they made a viral meme of me where they took my profile picture and then they put some makeup on me and a wig.
And they're like, look, Korean men and Korean women, what's the difference?
What crazy viral.
So viral.
It's still going viral right now.
Where some kids in my church are like, hey, is this you?
It's literal because she goes from the protection of her father now to the protection of her husband.
But feminists have convinced a woman that, no, you don't need no man.
You do your thing, boss, babe.
You go queen.
It's like, no, like, even feminists say we shouldn't have to live in fear.
Yes, you shouldn't.
But the solution to bad men is not to put down men.
It's good men.
And no matter how much women try to convince themselves that they are as strong as men, as quick as men, like, no, like in any situation, men will always overpower women.
So the solution to women's safety and their flourishing is not to put down men and try to convince women that they can be like men and just make inferior versions of men out of women, but is to encourage and honor good men.
Say, hey, we encourage you guys.
We appreciate you guys.
And we honor you guys in how you guys look out for us and protect us.
And that is the solution, I believe, really, to all the gender debate where women need to uplift men and men need to be willing to protect and provide for women.
The champion freestyle skier said the other day after she had to settle for a silver medal in an event at the Olympics that sometimes it feels like I'm carrying the weight of two countries on my shoulders.
Gu would be carrying the weight of only one country if she had chosen to represent her native USA at the games rather than a hostile totalitarian state.
Gu skis for China, a choice that is a little like deciding to represent a fascist country during the 1930s.
China is bent on undermining U.S. power and supplanting Western values.
It runs a gulag and has established a surveillance state that would make George Orwell blush.
But just the fact that she has openly stated in her statements, but also in her conduct at the Olympics by representing China, that her primary allegiance lies with China.
And I wonder if it actually does have some kind of context with this particular story.
If you're a Chinese citizen or have family in China and you're in the United States, you are essentially a national security threat because China has no compunction with applying pressure to your family in China to get you to do something.
So I don't know for sure if, you know, I don't know that she does have that.
This is the situation, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the reason that she's skiing for China is because someone in China is like, you're going to ski for us or else we're going to throw your parents or your grandparents or your sister or what have you in jail if you don't.
And that's, like I said, I make this point a lot.
If you're a Chinese national here and you have family in China, you are a security threat because whether it be getting a job or studying in some college and some kind of high-tech field or whatever, like China has no problem doing everything they can to get you to engage in espionage on behalf of China.
They don't have a lot of great athletes over there.
And I will say this.
Right now we orient our military, orient our military, getting ready for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
If every Chinese national in America becomes this sort of national security risk, I don't know really what that means for them and individual liberties in our country because I would kind of foresee another Japanese internment camp V2 if that were the case.
And that's something that could potentially not be too far off.
So something to consider.
We also have millions of Chinese Americans, patriotic Chinese Americans.
Also, many of the Chinese patriots that exist in our country were exiled for one reason or another from China.
So for example, the people at the Epic Times, the Fallen Gong, as I understand, or some sort of religious minority, among others that have been banned and kicked out from China.
But no, it's a major concern, and her lack of patriotism is disgusting.
If you were going to serve in the Olympics of some sort of your expertise in the U.S., you were like 70th rank, but you were number one in South Korea and they wanted to primary you, give you all the money, would you go play for South Korea?
So it's a little complicated, though, because as I understand the world a little more and I develop in my political philosophy and my beliefs, my affinity for Korea inevitably grows.
Like as a right-winger, I believe in heritage.
I believe in ancestry.
I believe in inheritance.
I believe in these things.
And so when I think about my ancestry, well, I come from thousands of years in Korea.
I can trace my ancestry all the way back to my founder.
I actually visited his grave when I was in Korea last month.
And it's like, well, this is where I come from.
And so I'm still wrestling through whether or not I'm willing to give that up to fully commit to being an American because I love America and I really do.
And I, but I still understand that I'm an immigrant.
I'm a guest.
And so, you know, people always say, I say things like, oh, foreign nationals or foreigners should not hold political office in your country.
And they're like, oh, so you don't think you should be able to?
You don't think that you should be able to, would you give up your right to vote?
In a second, in a heartbeat.
Because if it meant that we were going to have a class of citizens that were like actually aware of what the three branches of government do and what their job is, those are going to be the people that were voting, as opposed to like every Tom Dick and Harry that, you know, thinks that they're going to vote for a king.
Then yes, I would absolutely give up my right to vote because I'm one of what, you know, 150 million people that can vote.
Your individual right to vote is not that valuable.
I think there's a lot of cope surrounding foreigners being in elected office in the United States.
I mean, I think it's extremely patriotic what you did.
You came from a different country.
You were born in a different country and you chose to abandon that citizenship because you embraced American values so deeply.
However, at the same time, you think, I don't know, we should reject people like you from holding elected office.
I think immigrants like you, people who, you know, chose to assimilate to the degree in which they did, is a good thing and kind of like the American dream.
And if you had the opportunity to run for office and the American people chose to elect you, then I think I don't see any issue with it.
We live in a democracy where people pick who their representatives would be.
And frankly, it's anti-American, as I understand.
We only have laws against the president not being an American-born person.
But as far as the rest of the elected officials go, Kingman, I think you can be one of them, even though you weren't born in the US of A. Dude, I've also struggled with this myself because I was born outside the United States and became an American as well.
Along with what a lot is saying, if you are become American, you have to learn a lot more about the country.
You have to learn how the system works, who did what when, basic history stuff that you need to know in order to properly represent America as an American, I would say.
And I've done all that stuff because I've had to do that.
I feel like it made me much more, I have much more affinity for America and I understand why America does these things and why America works this way.
And to be fair, we used to have civics classes, which we taught in this country, and we stopped that stuff.
And when we stopped that stuff, we've started to see way more people be like disenfranchised, feeling disillusioned with the country, feeling like, I don't really have anything to do with it.
So I think maybe it doesn't necessarily mean like we're more or less American than another person, but it does mean that like we care about this idea, which America is.
America is an idea and has always been an idea of other people from other backgrounds coming to bring forth the idea that all men are created equal under God.
I always use Korea because, you know, Korea is, I'm Korean.
I come from Korea.
But, you know, let's say we have Korea, right?
And then a Japanese person comes and begins, you know, learns Korean, speaks Korean, and assimilates into Korea.
Is that Japanese person Korean?
No, absolutely not.
But if that Japanese person marries a Korean and then for many generations assimilates, and to the extent like they're indistinguishable from other Koreans, yeah, they're Korean, right?
So there are immigrants who can assimilate and for many generations.
When I say idea, I mean it's a culture because it's shared beliefs, it's shared like fundamental mores.
It's also people's home.
People who have been born here will live here.
I understand what that means.
I know exactly what that means.
I'm not trying to besmirch that in any way, but I am here to say like America is important.
I even posted my Twitter yesterday being like, you know, if it means that America becomes the shining city on a hill that it should be as this hope for humanity, I would be like the first on the boat going back, send me to South Africa, bro.
I'm out of here because I believe that America needs to succeed.
No, here's my point on this: where like America is a people.
And then so when you start to get away from this idea that America, and like you can say American is an idea, but then you look at the Constitution and who was the Constitution written for, who was the country built for?
It was their posterity, right?
And so, yeah, it's for Americans and their posterity.
So the posterity, the descendants of those who built America.
Now, you can have immigrants assimilate, yes, of course.
But the reality is, people like me, especially those who come from very different cultures.
And of course, there's a lot of similarities between the West and the East.
But you see this a lot with Somalian immigrants and African immigrants and Arab immigrants and all these things where, yes, you're going to have patriots, those who love America and very grateful for America, not only for its economic opportunity, but for what America stands for, its traditions, its customs, its history, its myth, its legends, its values.
No, but the thing is, most Korean Americans don't think the way that I do.
And this is where Korean Americans are, even the ones who agree with me, are still a minority among most Korean Americans who, yes, Korean Americans who moved here, yes, they all agree with me.
But the children of Korean Americans, the second generation, the third generation, they largely disagree with me.
They are very left-wing.
Asian Americans, especially Asian American women, are the most liberal demographic in America by far.
So, yeah, so that's why I say it's like, if I, me not being able to run for office, prevents people like Maisie Hirono from being in office, absolutely, absolutely.
And I don't see anything wrong with that because those who should make the rules and enact legislation and lead the country should be Americans.
In the same way, I wouldn't want to see, you know, Indians or Japanese or all these different or white people, God bless all you guys, lead and be in parliament in Korea, in the National Assembly in Korea, be the president of Korea, things like that, right?
So, you know, people say I'm a self-haying immigrant.
No, like I love who I am, right?
I am Korean, but I'm so Korean American because I grew up in America.
We don't have an ethnicity in the U.S. That's the difference about this country, like almost every other country on earth, especially the older countries.
I do believe that there was an ethnogenesis in America at its founding.
I do believe that it was mainly West Africans and white Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
And that was the ethnogenesis of America where, yes, like those West Africans and the, you know, the foundational black Americans, they call themselves that, right?
But they, yes, they are Americans.
I believe that they are Americans, but there was a distinct ethnogenesis, I believe, in American history when at the foundation of America, it was white Anglo-Saxon Protestants and West Africans.
And now, doesn't mean that if you're not of those lineages, that you can never become American?
No, I don't believe that.
Like some of the greatest Americans in history have been like Italian immigrants and things like that, right?
I think we got a boatload of people that want to chime in, but like, would you marry like a Korean chick or like an American girl that's Korean heritage?
I guess like American, I think this is kind of the distinction between America and the rest of the world.
But I think America is still very individualistic versus Korea is individualistic in certain regards, for sure, but they're still broadly collectivist.
And so there's so many things you can break that down into and different, how that manifests in different ways in society.
But I think that's one way.
Of course, you know, like the food we consume and the language we speak.
I think a lot of Americans need to travel to Asia.
Like when I went to Japan, right after I got caught in TSA with a pew pew in my backpack on accident, while I was there, what was shocking to me was the honor society.
I think that there's like this culture of honor, right?
Like you don't talk on public transit.
If you're on the bus or the train, you keep your voice down and everyone's very quiet.
They don't have public trash cans in Japan because your trash is your responsibility.
It's not on the public whatever to take care of that.
You got to take.
So there's this honor that I think we, dude, we need some of that.

Wyatt Claddenberg says, Don Lemon, journalist or political propagandist.
I think he's a political propagandist, my honest opinion.
I think that nowadays the left and the right have become so ossified and so separate that it's really hard to find people that are just telling you the news.
There might be some outlets out there that really do try to give you both sides of the story, but they're very few and far between, particularly because most people go to the internet for their news and they go to places that kind of feed them things that they want to hear generally.
There's no such thing as impartial, unbiased journalism, though.
Everyone has a bias.
Everyone has their own personal beliefs that, you know, motivate them to do what they do.
Like you said, to look out for the stories and research the stories that they do.
And so there's no such thing as unbiased journalism.
Oh, real journalism is dead.
It's all propaganda.
It's all to a certain extent propaganda.
It's just a matter of we have to be able to discern what is truth and what is fiction and be able to kind of wade through, hey, like this person has a left-wing bias and this person has a right-wing bias and then just like get to the fullness of the truth.
The majority of people want to know how to feel about what happened.
And that's just how people are because people, most people, even if they're politically inclined, they still defer to authority.
And because we are all beings to, we all are like, it's ingrained in all of us to be submitting to some sort of authority.
And we all, in our own lives, have authority figures that we all defer to in certain aspects of life or even like certain beliefs.
Like as Christians, they defer to their pastors, children, they defer to their parents.
Hassan Piker's audience defers to Hassan Piker, things like that, right?
So the reality is most people, and this is why we always have an elite class in society because the elite class end up being the people who are the ones who dictate the discourse and things like that.
It doesn't start with a G. Definitely not Gigi Allen.
Let's see.
Excuse me.
Angry Old Man says, Squeeze the Lemon by Daniel Plissark, available on all platforms.
I guess it's an ad for his, hopefully his book.
I don't know.
Squeeze the Lemon.
Chief Corey Anderson says the DOJ should get information off of Lemon's phone, drop charges against him, then release a press release thanking him for his help and cooperation.
Two birds, one zone.
No one would trust Lemon.
I mean, like, yeah, if they're just like, hey, he was our guy from the start.
I mean, but to your point, though, like, it's not enough.
Like, as soon as someone believes that you have somehow become a traitor, which we were talking about earlier, then they ostracize you and they attack you, you know, with the full force of the left because they look at you as a traitor.
You know, it sort of indicates like maybe those are the bad guys, the people that turn on each other.
And you would see like if you could step back from the whole game of humanity and be like, okay, I think that's the bad.
Those are the evil people.
No, but that everybody's evil or bad, but like the people that will turn on each other because they're not in lockstep are pretty much the Decepticons.
Yeah, I think that I disagree with you because I think there always is going to be a bad guy.
Because I mean, look, I'm not a Christian, but I believe there's something in the Bible that says that good and evil run straight through the heart of man, right?
Like men can be, like human beings, are imperfect.
And if you give in to your more base instincts and your sinful instincts, you can become evil.
I'm glad you made it out with your marriage intact because if it wasn't for the fact that you have a good husband, he might have decided to boot you or not tolerate it or whatever.
But good on you for changing your mind and good on your husband for working through that.
That is so crazy because I was literally thinking that as he was, because the liberal women's circle would have wanted her to leave her husband because he is a fascist, obviously, right?
And that is so toxic and poisonous, but I see it constantly.
These online communities, that's why they're so dangerous, especially the left-wing ones that radicalize you.
Because like you said, they replace your natural affections and bonds with your family and your immediate community with online ones, with strangers, most of the times whose names and faces you don't even know.
I think we just had a Republican from Florida in Congress resign.
So now there's truly a one-seat majority, depending on how you count Massey.
The Republicans are in deep shit and they're going to lose the midterms inevitably, not only because the Republicans are demoralized right now, but because that is the trend following one party winning the presidential.
The other party usually comes back in the midterms.
We will see endless investigations and impeachments once Republicans lose the majority.
So we're in for a very annoying lame duck second half of the Trump presidency.
