I don't want to give them my fear.

I'm not going to give them my fear.

Today, a conversation with Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a.

A.O.C.

So, dear listener, we're just a few days into President Donald Trump's second term, and, well, it's been pretty intense.

Tonight, President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration is expanding, not just ICE officers, but other federal law enforcement agencies sweeping across the

country. We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

President Trump has signed several executive orders to reshape the military, including

directive banning transgender service members.

So on today's show, we're going to speak with someone who's been sounding off against Republican

How are you doing?
