During a recent episode of the ‘All In’ podcast, Trump crypto czar David Sacks offered an excellent breakdown of what is behind efforts by Democrats and the media to resist efforts by ICE to deport people in the country illegally.

Sacks begins by pointing out that Trump’s efforts are working. He cites the fact that the murder rate has dropped to historic lows.

He points out that what ICE is doing has worked fine in other cities and states, but that Minneapolis is different because of absolutely terrible decisions on behalf of Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, who have ordered local police not to intervene or help in any way.

Why is all of this happeneing?

If you stay with the video, Sacks gets to the main reason for all of it. It’s all about the census and the apportionment of representation.

Democrats know that without the base of support they receive from illegals, they will lose elections.

Here are some key quotes via the All In Podcast on Twitter/X:

“And you can see this in the 2030 apportionment forecast, which just came out.”

“Illegal aliens count towards the census, which occurs every decade, and the census determines the apportionment of congressional seats and electoral votes.”

“And what you see in these maps is that citizens of blue states have been migrating to red states because those blue states are failing.”

“As a result of that, blue states are expected to lose nine house seats and electoral votes because of the changing population numbers.”

“Illegal aliens in blue states have been propping up those numbers, and so for example, in the last election, President Trump would’ve won an additional nine electoral votes if we had an accurate accounting.”

Watch the whole video below. David Sacks does a really great job here:

This is the sort of factual analysis you will not see on CNN or MSNOW and Sacks is right about all of it.

Democrats are in an absolute panic about this because they know it will cost them politically. At the end of the day, that’s all they really care about.

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s bid for governor of California is being supported by a ‘who’s who’ list of Hollywood’s most insufferable left wing celebrities.

It’s rather telling that these are the people who want him to lead the state, even after legitimate questions have been raised about him not even being qualified to be in the race.

His involvement with a supposed Chinese spy should be disqualifying enough on its own.

The liberal celebrities who are backing him just don’t seem to care.

The New York Post reports:

Sean Penn, Robert De Niro lead Hollywood A-listers lining up behind lefty Eric Swalwell’s bid for California governor

Hollywood’s woke donor class has a new favorite: Eric Swalwell.

The lefty congressman has raked in more than $100,000 from entertainment industry donors as he eyes a run for California governor, The California Post has learned.

Democrat Swalwell, whose district in the East Bay is a few hundred miles north of Los Angeles, has hauled in the most money from entertainment industry players among hopefuls to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom this year, a Post review of campaign records shows.

Donors included “One Battle After Another” star Sean Penn, who tossed $15,000 into Swalwell’s campaign coffers, the records show.

A-list actors Robert De Niro and Jon Hamm pitched in $10,000 apiece, as did “Two and a Half Men” star Jon Cryer.

The late actor and director Rob Reiner also contributed $10,000 before his tragic death.

No one is surprised by any of this.

Of course Hollywood is lining up behind Swalwell. California’s political class and its celebrity class have basically merged at this point. Regular voters are just the audience. https://t.co/NmjQdW6ldC

When the celebrities back you that’s when you know Eric is the last person you want.

Celebrities in Hollywood still don’t understand that their influence on politics has the exact opposite effect that they think it does.

Even Bill Maher is now telling Hollywood to shut up about politics now. They just can’t seem to help themselves.

As readers of the Gateway Pundit know, there have been multiple disturbing recent cases of people who work in healthcare saying things on social media that are horrifying.

A nurse from VCU Health in Virginia was just dismissed from her job after encouraging people to poison and/or drug ICE agents. We saw a similar thing happen after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Dr. Ben Carson, one of the most revered pediatric neuro-surgeons in the country, recently spoke out against this.

He wrote an opinion piece for FOX News. Here’s an excerpt:

We all have deeply-held beliefs, and, thankfully, we live in a nation where we can freely express our ideas without fear of government oppression. That freedom is one of our nation’s greatest strengths. But freedom also comes with responsibility — especially for those entrusted with the lives of others. Recently, several shocking incidents have brought to light a disturbing trend: Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals are putting politics and ideology ahead of their duty to protect the health and safety of their patients.

The examples are legion. A nurse in Florida posted on TikTok wishing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt a severe fourth-degree tear during childbirth.

A nurse in Virginia uploaded a video suggesting ways to injure ICE agents, urging viewers to “make their lives miserable.” Detectives in New York City who were injured while making an arrest were reportedly treated rudely and disrespectfully by hospital workers because staff suspected that they were ICE agents…

Trust and morality are the bedrock of good healthcare. Unfortunately, that trust has already been tested and broken in recent years. The poor handling of COVID-19, combined with widespread misinformation about vaccines and the efficacy of masking, to name just two, left many Americans skeptical of the health care providers and the public health establishment generally…

Medical misconduct includes breaches of ethical duty and intentional bias. When health care professionals publicly wish harm on someone they have never met, they violate the most fundamental principles of their profession. How can patients be expected to trust a system in which those entrusted with their lives might treat them differently because of their views, religion or background?

Of course, Dr. Carson is right about all of this.

People on the left who work in healthcare and medicine need to learn to set aside their politics. They work in a profession that requires an immense amount of trust from individuals and the public at large.

CNN’s Abby Phillip was recently discussing the arrest of Don Lemon, when one of the guests made a point about what is in the Lemon indictment.

Phillip confidently jumped in claiming that the person was wrong.

Moments later, the same guest read directly from the indictment, proving that she was right. Did Phillip apologize? No, she simply sighed loudly and then moved on to trying to make other points.

Why is she the host of this show? It seems like all she ever does is interrupt the non-liberal guests and tell them that they’re wrong, even if they’re right.

Mediaite has more details:

Here’s what happened: New York Post reporter and frequent CNN guest Lydia Moynihan joined NewsNight on Friday to talk about Lemon’s arrest after he livestreamed — and some would argue, assisted — anti-ICE protesters who stormed a Minnesota church and wrecked its service earlier this month. Lemon insists he was not a participant in the protest and only covering it as a journalist.

Moynihan said, “The question is, is he a protester or a journalist? And the indictment obviously suggested that he posted himself at the main door, he prevented people from exiting. ”

That comment got an instant reaction from Phillip, who jumped in and said Moynihan was way off.

“No, no it does not say that,” Phillip protested. “It says that protesters did that, it names the other people, it did not say that Don did that.”

But 17 minutes later, Moynihan circled back to their brief tussle from earlier, saying, “I just want to respond because you accused me of mischaracterizing the indictment.”

She then read the following section directly from the court filing: “At one point, defendant LEMON posted himself at the main door of the Church, where he confronted some congregants and physically obstructed them as they tried to exit the Church building to challenge them with ‘facts’ about U.S. immigration policy.”

Watch the video below:

Moynihan: The indictment says that Lemon posted himself outside the door and prevented people from exiting.

Phillip: The indictment does NOT say that.

NEXT SEGMENT:

Moynihan: *Quotes indictment*

Phillip: We have to question the characterizations in the indictment.

Why does it seem like Abby Phillip thinks her job is to defend Don Lemon? Why is she not just delving into the facts of the case, like a journalist would do? We all know the answers to these questions, don’t we?

Newly released surveillance video shows a bystander tackling a man who pushed his way through a TSA checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

The bystander, Mark Thomas, tackled and bodyslammed Fabian Leon after he breached the TSA checkpoint late last year.

“I saw him knock over the first dude and then a TSA agent tried to grab him, and once he was going to get past me, I was just like, okay, I’ll just take over if I can,” Mark Thomas told Fox 5.

Fabian Leon was charged with simple battery and avoiding security measures.

WATCH:

Fox 5 Atlanta reported:

Newly released surveillance video shows how quickly a man accused of breaching the main TSA checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was stopped, just feet from getting through the entire security checkpoint.

The video, obtained by FOX 5 through a public records request, shows what police say is 40-year-old Fabian Leon moving through the airport before attempting to enter the TSA checkpoint on the morning of Oct. 30, around 8:30 a.m.

Police say Leon tried to go through one lane and was stopped, then shifted toward another lane where bystander Mark Thomas was standing.

Thomas says a TSA officer yelled “breach,” prompting him to turn around and react without hesitation.
