Okay, Nicolas. Quizfrage: Homeoffice Barstado or Fahrtkosten? Was bringt uns mehr? Moment, ich check das kurz. Oha, Homeoffice gewinnt. Bringt uns 150 Euro mehr im Jahr. Ja, richtig. Aber wieso weißt du so was? Weil, wieso Steuer die Erstattung live anzeigt? Das ist einfach die Steuer-App für alle Fälle.

Democrats are sticking the dagger into Donald Trump and twisting it. Finally, they are demanding impeachment. They want the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Christine Ohm, and Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffrey, said that he is now going to be initiating a formal process to initiate Christine Ohm, and he thinks that he can build the momentum to get this done. Now, this formal call for impeachment by the Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffrey, comes at a time where new polling from Reuters Ipsos has Trump's overall approval rating falling to 38%, the lowest of his term. Trump's immigration approval falls to a record low of 39%, and most of this country feels that ICE has gone too far. You think? Well, Donald Trump just arrived in Iowa, where he is holding a rally, and he says that, I've They got the best poll numbers. This, as the growing calls, mount for the impeachment of Christie Noem. But frankly, it should be impeachment of Donald, of Hegsiff, of everybody in that regime, of Pam Bondi, you name it. They all need to go. Donald Trump says his polling is great. Play this clip.

They're not getting that anymore. We were talking about the polls earlier.

Clearly, your base is with you.

Strong as further. They're very stronger. By the way, our base Our bases with us, I think they're the best poll numbers. The real poll numbers, I think we have the best poll numbers we've ever had. Think of it, if I were to run again, if I run again, would anybody be happy? We have the best poll numbers we've ever had. Thank you all very much. I appreciate it. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President.

Next, Donald Trump is asked about whether he agrees that Alex Pretti, who was gunned down and murdered by the Border Patrol is a domestic terrorist. Donald Trump said he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. No guns allowed. No Second Amendment, everybody. Play this clip.

One number that's bad, can you tell Is there one number that's bad? There's not one.

Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Freddie is a domestic terrorist or an assassin?

Well, I haven't heard that, but certainly he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. But all of... Hey, look, bottom line, everybody in this room, we view that as a very unfortunate incident, okay? Everyone, unless you're a stupid person. A very, very unfortunate incident. I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That's a lot of bad stuff. And despite that, I say that's a very unfortunate.

Then Donald Trump attacks a reporter for asking the same question and says she's fake news. Play this clip.

One number that's bad. Can you tell? Is there one number that's bad? There's not one. Do you agree Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Freddie is a domestic terrorist or an assassin? Well, I haven't heard that, but certainly he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. But all of... Hey, look, bottom line, everybody in this room, we view that as a very unfortunate incident. Everyone, unless you're a stupid person. Very, very unfortunate incident. I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That's a lot of bad stuff. And despite that, I say that's a very unfortunate.

And then Donald Trump is asked about the criticism of him from Texas governor Greg Abbott, who said that Donald Trump needs to change his approach on immigration. Here, play this clip.. Did you hear from Greg Abbott saying, You need to recalibrate your response?

What did you make of that? No, I didn't hear that. Did you?

Yeah, absolutely. A statement was just put out by Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffrey, saying that these paramilitary tactics that are being used to terrorize Americans must cease and desist. The violence unleashed on the American people by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith. She either, Christina IDNOM either needs to be fired immediately or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Let's bring in Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffrey, right now. Leader Jeffreys, it is great to see you. People We're calling for this. You've heard the American people. Frankly, we want them all impeached at this point, and we want all these people who have been involved in terrorizing the American people prosecuted because what we're seeing on the streets is absolutely disgusting and so un-American and so on. It's gross. Talk to us about this call for the impeachment of Christie Noem.

Great to be with you. The American people are appropriately dismayed, disturbed, and disgusted by what they're seeing by their own government, taxpayer dollars being used to kill American citizens, brutalize communities, and attack violently law-abiding immigrant families. It all has to end. There's a variety of things that can be done. But Donald Trump can start by firing Christie Noem immediately. We know Christie Noem is a corrupt, despicable pathological liar. She never should have been confirmed by Republicans in the Senate to begin with. She's responsible responsible in part for unleashing this carnage that we're seeing in American communities. Federal taxpayer dollars should actually be used to make life better for the American people, to make life more affordable, to protect the health, the safety, and the well-being of everyday Americans, not kill them. Our position is pretty clear. Christie Noem needs to be fired immediately, or House Democrats, upon our return to Congress next week, will begin the initiation of impeachment proceedings against her.

I want to talk more about what those impeachment proceedings could look like. But as you mentioned, House is in recess right now. Maggie Mike said, Everybody, it's not like we're about to deal with a government shutdown. Time to go home again. It seems that whenever we're confronting a Maga Republican caused government shutdown, Maga Mike just sends people on vacation. By the way, Maga Mike didn't even address the murder of Alex Pratti. He went radio silent for 48 hours. But it's a big deal that Mag and Mike sent everybody home and on vacation in recess yet again, because if there's any alteration now in the Senate Appropriations Bill, to the minibus package that was unfortunately passed in the house that Mag and Mike pushed through, and Democrats and the Senate are saying, We ain't given any funding right now to ICE and Border Patrol. If alterations are made, that bill has to go back to the House now for any amendment. But guess what? The House isn't in session. So it's like Maga Mike wants a government shutdown, which again is going to happen on Friday. Here we are again, a Maga Mike Trump government shutdown right here, right around the horizon.

Playbook that he rolled out during the 43-day government shutdown when Donald Trump and Republicans shut the government down because they didn't want to provide affordable health care to the American people. Now they're ready to shut the government down so ICE can continue its killing spree in Minnesota and throughout the rest of the country. It's illegal and it's immoral. This is not complicated. The American people are appropriately demanding change to rein in this lawless organization. Our basic demand is simple. Ice and the other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security should conduct themselves like every other law enforcement agency in the country. We know what that looks like. There should be no mask agents brutalizing American people. Who else does that in terms of law enforcement agencies across the country? Of course, there should be warrant requirements before you can storm homes or break windows and rip people out of their cars who are either going to work, coming from work, dropping off their children. We know that these paramilitary tactics have to end. Who signed up for ICE conducting itself? Like Like a secret police force for a Wana be King. I mean, these folks have gone too far.

I think the killing of Alex Pretty coming on the heels of the killing of Renee Nicole Good, and then the callousness of Christie Noem's response where she just lied to the American people, claimed that they were domestic terrorists. No, they're American patriots. And under her watch, they were killed in cold blood. That can't happen anymore, and people need to be held accountable.

Let's talk about what an impeachment of Christie Noem can look like, because I think probably privately, you could tell me if I'm wrong here, lots of these Republicans don't want her there. They don't want a lot of things that are happening there, but they're too cowardly to speak up and do anything about it, whether it's come to Donald Trump's unlawful tariffs against the world or Trump saying he's going to invade Greenland. It doesn't It didn't seem that there's or Trump's cover up of a child sex trafficking ring with the Epstein files, which they're still covering up. It seems that Republicans will... It doesn't make a difference. They don't stand for anything. They certainly don't stand for the Second Amendment. That became very clear after Alex he was murdered. And they said, Well, he had a concealed carry lawful permit. You get killed if you show up in public spaces with concealed carry. Donald Trump reiterated that today. My point, though, is how can you impede her when these Republicans are want an invite to freaking golden ballrooms and golden McDonald's arches or whatever the hell Donald Trump is talking about.

See, the House, unfortunately, as you've repeatedly and powerfully pointed out, Ben, on the Republican leadership has been conducting itself not as a separate and co-equal branch of government, but as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trump cartel. That's what we've seen from these Republicans. Now, on several occasions, most recently, in compelling 17 Republicans to join with every single Democrat in the House so we could pass a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits, and now the Senate needs to do its job on the Republican side. Of course, with great leadership from Roe and congressman Massey and Democrats unified behind forcing legislation to the floor and an up or down vote and then compelling Republicans to join us because of the public pressure with respect to the release of the Epstein files, we're going to have to mount the case and put enough pressure, which is coming from the public, on just a handful of Republicans to be able to get this done. So part of what it will look like is to make sure that the committees of jurisdiction are holding public hearings detailing for the American people why we need to see accountability, why things have gone so wrong at the Department of Homeland Security, why the mission of ICE is not what we are seeing.

Donald Trump promised to go after violent felons. He ain't going after violent felons. They're going after American citizens and law-abiding immigrant families. We're going to have to detail that in compelling ways using the tools that we have as members of Congress, even though we are in the minority, and that's exactly what we plan to do.

Leader Jeffrey, thanks for joining us as always. We appreciate you.

Thanks much.
