- π― An "ex Obama staffer," Brett Kosolino, who previously worked with radical left climate activist groups, is identified as still working within the Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC).
- π Kosolino's LinkedIn profile disappeared after inquiries were made to FERC, suggesting an attempt to conceal his current role and affiliations.
- π‘ The term "burrower" refers to politically appointed individuals from previous administrations who take ostensibly non-political positions in the federal bureaucracy, potentially influencing policy based on their prior political leanings.
Bureaucrats' Political Stance and Potential Opposition
- π A poll indicates that 75% of federal bureaucrats who voted for Kamala Harris would oppose a Trump order if they considered it bad policy, highlighting a potential threat from the "deep state."
- β οΈ While direct evidence of specific "deep state actors" opposing Trump is not presented, the speaker suggests it's logical to assume such individuals could be connected to efforts to undermine the administration.
Military Sponsorship of Activist Groups
- π© The military has a long-standing relationship with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), an activist group that embraces DEI and CRT and uses standards from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
- π° ASCA receives federal funding through military branches that sponsor its annual conventions, including state chapters, despite the SPLC's controversial "hate map" and "learning for justice" program.
- π« An Army spokesperson stated that sponsoring these conventions did not violate policy, despite the SPLC's standards being separate from the military's perceived interests.
Democrats' Call to Oppose Presidential Orders
- π£οΈ Some Democrats, including those with military service, are encouraging servicemembers to oppose what they deem "illegal orders" from President Trump.
- βοΈ This is framed by Democrats as patriotism and standing against a "reckless commander-in-chief," particularly in the context of immigration law enforcement.
- π© The speaker argues this encourages individuals predisposed to oppose the president to act in "rogue ways," effectively telling those in the administration not to follow the elected president's orders if Democrats deem them illegal.
