53:37Now PlayingLeaving the Mormon Cult, Confronting ICE, and Why MAGA Is a Religion
Hawk sits down with Chelsea Gods, a San Diego-based TikTok creator who has built a massive following by walking up to off-duty ICE agents outside the federal courthouse and verbally confronting them on camera. What started as a lighthearted way to make content quickly became something much bigger once the videos went viral across every platform on the internet.
The conversation covers the real mechanics behind how Chelsea finds these agents, what the interactions actually look like up close, and why she keeps doing it even after DHS police tried to stop her on the street. She talks about the night cops came out in full gear and she ran toward them instead of away, and what happened next.
From there, the talk turns to the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, the ICE agent identified as the shooter, the lies that came straight out of the Trump administration in the hours after, and a 2014 DHS memo that already laid out exactly why what happened should never have been allowed to happen.
Chelsea and Hawk get into the psychology behind the MAGA movement, including theories on CTE, lead poisoning, and repressed identity driving support for Donald Trump. Chelsea shares what it was like growing up Mormon in Salt Lake City, the questions she started asking at 15 that got her in trouble with church leaders, and how she eventually deconverted her entire family over the course of a decade.
The two also talk about the Epstein files, the way conservative women on the right have publicly defended predatory behavior toward minors, anti-intellectualism rooted in religion, and what it actually feels like to carry out the kind of activism Chelsea does every single day while knowing the risks involved.
