1
Alexis McAdams, she's live right now outside Delaney Hall in Newark,
2
New Jersey, where those protesters there,
3
Alexis, have been facing off with some of the ICE agents.
4
What's happening?
5
That's right.
6
Well, it has been going on for a few days,
7
and then it happened again this morning,
8
and it's happening again throughout the afternoon.
9
So we're just going to move in on a little bit and show you what's going on out here.
10
You can see that they've got the protesters that are sitting here,
11
and I thought it was important to point out a lot of them actually had their faces kind of covered,
12
But the big deal here in New Jersey is
13
that these people don't think ICE agents should be able to cover their faces.
14
So that's one thing.
15
But they're facing off with these ICE officers who are trying to do their job,
16
Sandra, because they believe that this detention facility here,
17
Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, should be shut down.
18
They say it's because the migrants inside of the facility are not being treated right.
19
So that's why they're out here.
20
That's why they're positioned here with their goggles on,
21
ready to be tear gassed or pepper sprayed, they say, if possible.
22
So pointing it out, obviously,
23
we covered what happened on the ground in Minneapolis.
24
We covered that in Minnesota.
25
We covered a little bit of what happened in Broadview,
26
Illinois, outside of Chicago.
27
That's a more similar setup to what happened here.
28
So they have not as big of crowds,
29
but the people do come prepared.
30
And one of the other things,
31
Sandra, that was important to point out on video
32
that we saw yesterday on social media was they kind of stop all these cars that are coming and going.
33
And the protesters are trying to act as security in those videos,
34
asking them who's in the car.
35
And then they decide if they're going to let you through or not.
36
And then here you can see some media,
37
but they are blocking the roadway.
38
And this backs up a huge road that's right off the highway.
39
SO IT REALLY COULD CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEMS HERE.
40
SO WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT.
41
BUT THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY WAS OUT HERE CELEBRATING MEMORIAL DAY BY DEMANDING
42
THAT THE MIGRANT CRIMINALS INSIDE BE RELEASED BECAUSE SHE SAYS THEY'RE ON A HUNGER STRIKE.
43
SO WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT, SANDRA.
44
WE KNOW YOU WILL.
45
ALEXIS MCADAMS SHOUT AND WE'LL HEAD BACK THERE AS THE NEWS WARRANTS.
46
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.
47
BEN FERGUSON IS JOINING US NOW.
48
PODCAST HOST.
49
BEN, WELCOME TO YOU.
50
AS WE DO LOOK AT THOSE LIVE THE GOVERNOR HAS BEEN A DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
51
THE GOVERNOR HAS BEEN A DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
52
IT'S HAPPENING NOW.
53
IT'S HAPPENING FOR DAYS.
54
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE?
55
WAS IT A STUMP FOR THE GOVERNOR TO INSIST ENTRANCE?
56
YEAH, I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE BIG TAKEAWAYS HERE.
57
NUMBER ONE, THEY WANT EVERYONE OUT OF THIS FACILITY.
58
THAT WOULD INCLUDE RAPISTS, THAT WOULD INCLUDE CHILD MOLESTERS,
59
THAT WOULD INCLUDE MURDERERS, THAT WOULD INCLUDE SEX OFFENDERS ON THAT LIST,
60
AND THEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEATEN AND ABUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN AS THEY ARE IN THIS COUNTRY.
61
THEY'RE DEMANDING ALL OF THEM BE RELEASED.
62
NOW, IF YOU'RE A SANE AMERICAN WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW AND YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IS ABOUT,
63
YOU WOULD SAY, OF COURSE, THIS IS INSANE.
64
WHY WOULD WE LET OUT MURDERERS AND RAPISTS AND CHILD MOLESTERS, ALL OF THEM?
65
AND THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
66
WE'RE NOT LEAVING UNTIL EVERYONE'S GONE.
67
THIS GOES NOW TO THE BIGGER QUESTION WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
68
IS THIS WHAT THEY WILL DO IF THEY GET CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE?
69
YES.
70
THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
71
THEY WANT TO SHUT DOWN ICE.
72
THEY'VE ALREADY TRIED IT IN THEY ARE SAYING IF YOU ARE IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY,
73
WE PUT YOU AHEAD OF EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN.
74
WE ARE NOT FIGHTING FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS ANYMORE.
75
WE ARE NOT PROTECTING AMERICAN CITIZENS ANYMORE.
76
WE ARE ADVOCATING AND WE ARE THE LEGAL TEAM AND WE ARE THE BLOWHORN FOR THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT POPULATION IN AMERICA.
77
HEADING INTO THIS ELECTION, NO,
78
THIS IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE.
79
WE ARE THE LEGAL TEAM AND THE BLOWHORN FOR THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT POPULATION IN AMERICA.
80
THE PICTURES ARE IN THE PICTURES.
81
I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THOSE PICTURES THERE.
82
THAT IS LIVE NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
83
AS WE GET ANYTHING MORE FROM THERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES,
84
WE'LL DIP BACK IN.
85
MEANWHILE, I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT GRAHAM PLATNER,
86
THIS LEFT SENATE CANDIDATE UP IN MAIN.
87
HE'S REFUSING TO APOLOGIZE FOR SOME OF THESE REALLY CONTROVERSIAL REMARKS HE'S MADE IN THE PAST.
88
YOU'VE SEEN DEMOCRATS DIVIDED ON RESPONDING TO THEM.
89
THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATS.
90
ONE DEMOCRAT WHO SAYS IT'S DOWN RIGHT WRONG WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
91
I'VE BEEN CLEAR ABOUT GRAHAM PLATNER.
92
I FIND THAT TATTOO AND HIS COMMENTARY ABOUT IT TO THINK THAT GRAHAM PLATNER'S BRAND OF
93
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WHAT WINS US DURABLE MAJORITIES THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY.
94
ALL RIGHT.
95
HE'S REFUSING TO APOLOGIZE FOR CELEBRATING THE VIDEO OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER BEING SHOT.
96
HE'S EMBRACED DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM WITH BERNIE SANDERS AT THAT RALLY.
97
HE'S MAKING GAS LEFT AND RIGHT.
98
FLUBBERNESS AND THE NAME.
99
WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE AND WHERE ARE DEMOCRATS GOING TO FALL ON HIM?
100
YEAH, LOOK, I THINK THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP MADE IT CLEAR THEY'RE BEHIND HIM AT ALL COSTS.
101
THEY DON'T CARE IF HE'S A NAZI.
102
THEY DON'T CARE IF HE PUT A NAZI TATTOO OF THE SS ON HIS CHEST.
103
THEY DON'T CARE IF HE LIED ABOUT THE MEANING OF THAT TATTOO.
104
THEY ALSO DON'T CARE IF HE'S LYING AND THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF HIS CAMPAIGN IS A FRAUD.
105
LOOK AT THE SIGN RIGHT THERE.
106
FIGHT OLIGARCHY.
107
THIS DUDE WENT TO ONE OF THE BEST private schools you can go to,
108
75,000 plus a year.
109
His dad gave him several hundred thousand dollars for his first house.
110
He's the definition of entitled elitist individual,
111
and yet he's standing there with Bernie Sanders,
112
who's been saying we're fighting the oligarchy since the early 1980s.
113
And they say, no matter what,
114
don't worry about what he actually did.
115
Don't actually worry about where he came from.
116
But this is what we are against.
117
The whole thing is a fraud.
118
And I have real concerns over this guy.
119
And I go back to the issue of straight up mental health.
120
IF YOU'RE MOCKING SOMEONE THAT'S BEEN SHOT,
121
I WORRY ABOUT YOU AND I WORRY ABOUT YOUR DECISION MAKING IF YOU ACTUALLY GET ELECTED.
122
IF YOU'RE MOCKING PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY AND YOU USED TO BE THERE AND YOU REFUSED TO APOLOGIZE,
123
I WORRY ABOUT YOUR DECISION MAKING MENTALITY HERE.
124
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY KNOWS IT
125
AND THEY DON'T CARE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO WIN AT ALL COSTS.
126
THEY WANT EXTREMISTS LIKE THIS.
127
THEY THINK THEY CAN PROBABLY CONTROL HIM.
128
HE'S NOT A TRADITIONAL DEMOCRAT IN ANY FORM.
129
AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT DONE.
130
THEY ARE NOT DONE.
131
THEY ARE NOT DONE.
132
THEY ARE NOT DONE.
133
THIS IS THE MARXIST, SOCIALIST,
134
COMMUNIST, NOW NAZI LEFT MAKING THEMSELVES KNOWN.
135
WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
136
THAT'S WHY BERNIE SANDERS IS STANDING UP THERE WITH HIM.
137
HE DOESN'T MIND THIS OR AOC OR ANYONE ELSE LIKE HIM.
138
YEAH.
139
AND THOSE DEMOCRATS WHO HAVEN'T OUTRIGHT CONDEMNED WHAT HE HAS SAID IN THE PAST OR SOME OF HIS ACTIONS,
140
THEY JUST DODGE ON IT.
141
HERE'S DAVID PORTNOY.
142
THEY WON'T.
143
HE'S CALLING OUT PLATNER.
144
LISTEN HERE.
145
OH, SORRY.
146
THIS IS, I'LL PUT IT UP ON THE SCREEN FOR YOU.
147
OKAY, SO DAVID PORTNOY IS CALLING HIM OUT.
148
HE POSTED A STRING OF E-MAILS.
149
THEY'RE ON THE SCREEN.
150
THEY SHOW PLATNER'S TEAM TRIED TO RECRUIT HIM TO AMPLIFY A NEW ATTACKING THE BOSTON RED SOX OVER PRIVATE EQUITY.
151
PLATTNER POSTED THE E-MAILS WITH THE CAPTION,
152
AND I'M STILL WONDERING WHY YOUR TEAM THOUGHT I'D WANT TO PLAY FOOTSY WITH A GUY WHO IS A NAZI.
153
AND THE AD BEHIND THAT OUTREACH HAD TROUBLE OF ITS OWN.
154
NESSEN, THE NETWORK AIRING IT DURING A RED SOX BROADCAST,
155
STOPPED THE SPOT MID-GAME SAYING IT BROKE THE STATION'S RULES BY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
156
HOW DO YOU WEIGH IN ON THAT?
157
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT THING.
158
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT THING.
159
YEAH.
160
YEAH, LOOK, ANYBODY THAT STANDS ON STAGE WITH A NAZI,
161
WITH A GUY WHO HAS AN SS TATTOO,
162
YOU DESERVE TO BE DISQUALIFIED FROM LEADING IN THIS COUNTRY POLITICALLY.
163
I DO THINK THIS IS A REAL FLASHPOINT WHERE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
164
ESPECIALLY WHERE HE'S RUNNING, HAVE TO LOOK AND SAY,
165
ARE WE WILLING TO BE SO DIVIDED POLITICALLY NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROMOTE A NAZI,
166
A GUY WHO'S I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO BE A REPUBLICAN.
167
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE GOT TO THIS POINT EXCEPT YOU LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
168
IT IS AOC.
169
IT IS MUNDANI.
170
THE TRADITIONAL DEMOCRATS ARE GONE.
171
SCHUMER IS NOW A MODERATE.
172
HE HAS BEEN A HARD CORE LIBERAL FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE AND NOW HE'S
173
NOT LIBERAL ENOUGH FOR THE ELITE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHO WANTS TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE SAID EARLIER.
174
THEY WANT TO FUND ICE, LET OUT now.
175
Well, when you put it like that, Ben, always appreciate it.
176
Thank you very much.
177
Good to see you.
178
All right.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
