Rebel Republic Episode 022

We talk about Trump playing peacemaker in the Thailand and Cambodia violence that broke out, also giving Russia 10 days to withdraw, and a ceasefire with Ukraine. We were horrified watching the shootout in Manhattan, which killed a New Police officer. Then we saw a horrific beatdown of a woman in Cincinnati by five people who were arrested. Most disturbing was that 100 people were there watching, filming with their cell phones, only one person called 911, and nobody intervened to help this woman. It made me sick to watch people immediately take out their phones to film the brutality, instead of stopping the fight, stepping in to protect her. Mamdani wants to defund the police in NYC; shootouts like what we saw in Manhattan will be commonplace without a strong police presence. We also discuss the Texas Legislature meeting incident where a democratic candidate for the 18th district had to be physically removed from the room. He was furious about redistricting because he felt it made no sense, other than to gain more republican support.
