ALEXXMEDIA (CO-HOST): I think the people, when you start taking people that they have connections with, like, hey, you may be the home attendant or you may be whatever, like, I have a relationship with you, and now you're just grabbing this person that I loved and worked with all this time?
ANDREW SCHULZ (CO-HOST): That's what you got to think about more. It's like you got to think about the restaurant that you're going to and the guy that works there. You got to think about your gym and the guy that you see working there. Like, you got to think about each one of those people that's being taken away — not the violent criminals, get them the fuck up out of here — but the people that are just being asked on the street, ‘Hey, you have an accent, where are your papers?' When you start imagining those people as these people you interface with on your regular everyday life, it just becomes horrendous.
ALEXXMEDIA: Yeah. It's fucked up. It's fucked up. It's fucked up.
AKAASH SINGH (CO-HOST): Yeah. And I don't have any real faith in anything they do being out of any kind of goodwill anymore. I was willing to have that in before the election, because I felt like liberals had kind of fucked things up, and then they're running Kamala that nobody really supports, and they just foisted her on us and X, Y, Z. But that got used up pretty quickly. And now I don't really think anything they're doing is with any good intention. That's like, out the window for me.
