Summary
In this episode: States like New Mexico are successfully pushing back against ICE by passing laws that end local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement—creating real roadblocks for Trump's mass deportation machine. Also, what Pentagon's $1.5 trillion budget could actually fund if diverted from endless war for less than one year of military spending. Plus, legendary peace activist and Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin joins the show to discuss the latest on Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Gaza, and why the U.S. media refuses to mourn the journalists Israel has killed. All that and more!
My comedy news show, Unredacted Tonight, airs every Thursday at 7pm ET/4pm PT. My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!

| 0:48.7 | members of APEC in the most beautiful way, 80% of the time in St. Medea Benjamin. But she's also, |
| 0:56.4 | she's not just great on APEC. She is very informed on Cuba, on Iran, on Gaza, on all those things. |
| 1:02.0 | So we'll be talking to her about all of those things coming up in about half an hour. |
| 1:05.7 | Before we get to that and before we get to the way states are seemingly successfully fighting against ICE, and before we get to the way states are seemingly successfully fighting against ice, |
| 1:13.1 | and before we get to the historical precedent showing that Trump's form of fascism may not |
| 1:19.9 | have very long to last. If you look at the historical precedent, if you look at history, |

| 1:31.0 | doesn't tend to last long. We'll get into that a little bit coming up. But before we get to that, |
| 1:36.8 | let's talk for a moment. I couldn't, I couldn't just fully ignore it, though I would like to. |
| 1:42.6 | About the assassination attempt, or whatever you want to call it, |
| 1:46.7 | at the White House Press Corps dinner thing. I have not been to the Press Corps dinner event, |
| 1:54.7 | but I have been to the competing event that was basically across the street from it one year. |
| 2:00.0 | I think it was put on by the young Turks. |
