Defunding Blue States, Erasing Immigrants & The War on the Smithsonian

from We Saw the Devil: Crime & Political Analysis · host We Saw the Devil

**This episode is unedited due to time constraints. In one twenty-four hour period, this administration signed an executive order to install warning signs on the sidewalk outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, because it has no legal authority to touch anything inside the building. The Pentagon's public casualty count for the Iran war read eighteen dead on Wednesday and fourteen on Thursday, after four service members killed in Jordan and Iraq quietly came off the list. The Department of Energy told a federal judge in writing that 284 canceled grants worth roughly $7.5 billion were pulled for one reason and one reason only: the political identity of the recipient's state.That is the whole episode. Not a cover-up. A revision.Robin walks the receipts on all of it: the 162-page White House report that recommended posting a sign over every museum entrance accusing the curators of hating America, the two senior officials who told NBC News that US commanders are now letting some Iranian missiles through because the interceptor supply is running low, and the census rule sitting on a government website that would reclassify millions of legal residents as not living in this country at all.Plus: the worst measles year since 1991 with five months still on the board, a Texas midwife who won her case and lost everything anyway, Hunter Biden's closetocracy argument and why Robin thinks he is right, and the debut of a permanent new segment, the Mitch McConnell counter, currently sitting at forty-one days.Reality Check covers the settler attack on Tal in the occupied West Bank, and then three minutes on why political cartoons are dying at the exact moment a president started putting warning labels on history.Keywords: Smithsonian warning signs executive order, Trump Smithsonian content warnings, Pentagon casualty count Iran war, Operation Epic Fury deaths, Department of Energy grant terminations blue states, 2030 census immigrants apportionment, Cecilia Vega 60 Minutes fired, measles cases 2026 record, Mitch McConnell missingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics
