Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what the f*** are you talking about, you insane Hollywood a*****? So to recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

$45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three-month plan only. Taxes and fees extra. Speeds lower by 40 gigabytes in details.

Let's see how Earth responds to that.

Well, The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian with you guys. And Ninja Rabbit, who I participated in the website somehow, donated or became a member, just happened. So here we are from the Ninja Rabbit studios.

**Ana Kasparian** (1:21)
My favorite kind of rabbit, to be honest.

**Cenk Uygur** (1:23)
Well, fair enough. All right, guys, so we got to help with show for you guys today. Trump has done more than his average share of bad things today. So we will get to that. And as always, give you the nuance and the actual facts that you need. It's like we're doing a news show or something. So let's have fun and do it, Kaspar.

**Ana Kasparian** (1:42)
Well, before we talk about the executive branch, let's do a little pit stop, okay? A little check in with the House of Representatives because it looks like investigations are about to happen.

**Donald Trump** (1:55)
I'm going to terminate all sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are sanctuary for criminals. Sanctuaries for criminals.

**Ana Kasparian** (2:04)
Sanctuary cities have been the bane of the GOP's existence. And as a result, Republican Representative James Comer is now launching investigations into sanctuary cities and has called on four separate Democratic mayors to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to answer some questions about how the sanctuary policies are playing out in their jurisdictions. Now, sanctuary cities, of course, prevent or limit local police from cooperating with federal immigration officials. It's important to know that not all sanctuary city laws are the same. There are some variations, but nonetheless, opponents of these policies, much like you heard from Donald Trump there, mainly argue that sanctuary cities help to harbor undocumented individuals who are committing crimes in these cities in these states. And so the mayors who have been invited to essentially testify before the house include Michelle Wu, who's the mayor of Boston, Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, who to be quite honest with you should probably be investigated for other reasons, including his conflicts of interest with the teachers union in Chicago, but I digress, Mike Johnston is another mayor. He is the mayor of Denver. And then finally, Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City has been called to testify before the house. Now the letter said 12 states and hundreds of cities and counties across the country have sanctuary policies. However, Comer said the four cities singled out stand out in their abject failure to comply with federal law. But that's not exactly true. In fact, Mayor Eric Adams in particular is more than willing to play ball with the federal agencies in deporting undocumented individuals who are committing crimes in New York City. In fact, he's quoted as saying, this is from August of 2024, people who are violent New Yorkers should not be allowed to stay in our city. What we need to alter are those who are repeat violent offenders. After they serve their time, they should be turned over to ICE and be removed from our city.
And here's another example of him saying similar things about their sanctuary policies in New York.

**Eric Adams** (4:23)
Those small numbers that are committing crimes, we need to modify the sanctuary city law. That if you commit a felony, a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported. It is a right to live in this city and you should be not committing crimes in our city for doing so.

**Tom Homan** (4:41)
Mayor Adams is trying to do the right thing. The problem is he has a city council that doesn't want him to work with ICE. But he has committed on a couple of things. Number one, he's committed to working with public safety threats with ICE, having his officers with us shoulder to shoulder to arrest public safety threats in that city. Because that's where we're going to prioritize day one. Day one, right out of the gate are going to be public safety threats and national security threats. He agrees with me, they have plenty in New York City, he wants to make New York City safer.
