Schulz: “We got to be very loud about this. Like, it all of a sudden becomes not like liberal catastrophic thinking. It starts to become very reasonable, nuanced criticism of the administration”

ANDREW SCHULZ (CO-HOST): You said that America you don't think can fall into authoritarianism. And I agree with what you said, but I will say that this was a breaking point for me in the way that the administration responded to it. Like, I didn't think what's happening right now with ICE could happen in America. I genuinely did not think that was possible. I thought our institution, I thought the Constitution would hold up. When I see it and then immediately defend it, I start to go, we got to be very loud about this. Like, it all of a sudden becomes not like liberal catastrophic thinking. It starts to become very reasonable, nuanced criticism of the administration. They have just done -- they have just made the most far-left critiques of the Trump administration, their reaction to this has just justified all of them. In one moment, in one moment, all of their responses, from Trump to Kash Patel, they have justified every single -- and I know people probably look at this and be like, they've done a million other things to justify them. Sure, and that's fair. But this specific situation I think is a breaking point and has justified all those criticism. I think people's antennas are way up and people's antennas that were not up initially.
