[01:27.800 --> 01:36.600]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
[01:36.600 --> 01:45.120]  It's the David Knight Show.
[01:45.120 --> 01:50.800]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 9th of January, year of our Lord, 2026.
[01:50.800 --> 01:55.460]  Well, Donald Trump has another idea to make housing affordable.
[01:55.460 --> 01:58.420]  This idea is even worse than the 50-year mortgage.
[01:58.420 --> 02:01.260]  We're going to talk about that to start the show.
[02:01.260 --> 02:05.460]  But there's also been new developments in the Minnesota shooting.
[02:05.460 --> 02:10.300]  Trump was actually confronted with a video that he apparently had never seen before.
[02:10.300 --> 02:18.180]  That didn't stop him from fabricating stories like a cross between a hallucinating AI and
[02:18.180 --> 02:21.500]  a fabulous George Santos.
[02:21.500 --> 02:23.820]  Is the right missing something here?
[02:23.820 --> 02:25.180]  I think they are.
[02:25.180 --> 02:30.060]  I think we see a police state that is growing around us in leaps and bounds and federal
[02:30.060 --> 02:32.260]  militarized police.
[02:32.260 --> 02:34.780]  That folks is the issue.
[02:34.780 --> 02:37.420]  It's bigger than the left-right tribalism.
[02:37.420 --> 02:40.780]  It's bigger than the border issue or immigration.
[02:40.780 --> 02:42.020]  And that's what is being missed here.
[02:42.020 --> 02:49.900]  I've got a response to a listener who's extremely angry with my take on this murder.
[02:49.900 --> 02:51.180]  And I still believe it was murder.
[02:51.180 --> 02:52.660]  And I'll show you why.
[02:52.660 --> 02:53.980]  We'll be right back.
[02:55.180 --> 03:16.940]  Well, before we get into the updates on this situation, and I think this is very important,
[03:16.940 --> 03:20.940]  it reveals not only the character of the Trump administration, but also the character of
[03:20.940 --> 03:22.660]  our country.
[03:23.180 --> 03:26.460]  And I think there's some very dangerous precedents that are being set here.
[03:26.460 --> 03:30.780]  And I think that if a police state, surveillance state, comes to us, and it is coming to us,
[03:30.780 --> 03:37.100]  it'll be furthered most effectively by those on the right who believe in law and order,
[03:37.100 --> 03:40.780]  except no law, no order for the government.
[03:40.780 --> 03:42.660]  They're the ones who give the order.
[03:42.660 --> 03:48.220]  They're the ones who make up the law and then ignore it for themselves.
[03:48.220 --> 03:53.820]  But before I begin, I want to address something that I've had here for a while.
[03:53.820 --> 03:57.820]  It was a letter and a contribution, a generous contribution.
[03:57.820 --> 04:01.180]  Thank you, Thomas, for this.
[04:01.180 --> 04:07.860]  And he had asked me just before Christmas, he asked me about what I had done for the
[04:07.860 --> 04:12.460]  stroke because he's been having difficulty recovering from it.
[04:12.460 --> 04:15.900]  I thought it might be useful for a lot of other people, but also because I was going
[04:15.940 --> 04:16.940]  to write him back.
[04:16.940 --> 04:21.660]  But Thomas, if you're listening, I haven't been able to find the envelope that you wrote.
[04:21.660 --> 04:23.820]  So I'm still looking for that.
[04:23.820 --> 04:25.660]  Karen is looking for it.
[04:25.660 --> 04:30.940]  If you want to send me an email, I'll be happy to try to give you some references for some
[04:30.940 --> 04:31.940]  of the things.
[04:31.940 --> 04:33.380]  But let me just go over it real quickly.
[04:33.380 --> 04:37.900]  And I'll say this, that even though I said this is Friday the 9th, this is actually the
[04:37.900 --> 04:41.380]  evening, the late night of Thursday the 8th.
[04:41.380 --> 04:45.780]  I got really fired up preparing this show and I didn't want to wait to do it.
[04:45.780 --> 04:50.860]  And also I thought it might help me a little bit to have a three-day weekend.
[04:50.860 --> 04:52.580]  So we're going to do the show early.
[04:52.580 --> 04:58.100]  And I wanted to mention that because if you're here leaving comments, I'm not ignoring you.
[04:58.100 --> 05:01.100]  Feel free to have your discussions.
[05:01.100 --> 05:03.140]  We have a great community here.
[05:03.140 --> 05:05.380]  And feel free to criticize me if you disagree with me.
[05:05.380 --> 05:11.120]  But I won't be responding today, not because I'm ignoring you or because I'm angry about
[05:11.120 --> 05:12.560]  anything you say.
[05:12.560 --> 05:14.660]  But let me just repeat what he had to say here.
[05:14.660 --> 05:16.860]  He said, I'd like to ask you a favor.
[05:16.860 --> 05:19.420]  In the fall of 24, I suffered a stroke.
[05:19.420 --> 05:23.020]  The most damage was done to my left hand when it first happened.
[05:23.020 --> 05:26.860]  My left arm hung limp and I could not make a fist.
[05:26.860 --> 05:31.660]  I have slowly gained use of it, but my hand and fingers act on their own.
[05:31.660 --> 05:32.660]  I play guitar.
[05:32.660 --> 05:34.660]  I'm so sorry.
[05:34.660 --> 05:38.060]  That is an issue still for me, playing keyboard.
[05:38.060 --> 05:43.260]  So I wish you would do a segment detailing what treatments you found effective with motor
[05:43.260 --> 05:45.600]  skills or finger control.
[05:45.600 --> 05:53.100]  I have not sought medical help because I believe in first do no pharma, which I believe as
[05:53.100 --> 05:54.100]  well.
[05:54.100 --> 05:56.980]  Well, let me just say we tried a lot of different things.
[05:56.980 --> 05:57.980]  I'll tell you what we tried.
[05:57.980 --> 06:03.260]  But let me say first of all, and I think he knows this.
[06:03.260 --> 06:08.260]  And so please keep him in your prayers, because I think that is the most important thing that
[06:08.260 --> 06:09.540]  we can do.
[06:09.540 --> 06:11.340]  We treat these things, but God heals.
[06:11.700 --> 06:18.060]  Oftentimes, he will use ordinary means, bringing our attention to some ordinary means, things
[06:18.060 --> 06:19.660]  that might help.
[06:19.660 --> 06:25.780]  And certainly, it is not a lack of faith to try these things, but understand that God
[06:25.780 --> 06:26.940]  is the one who heals.
[06:26.940 --> 06:30.940]  And so, Thomas, we're praying for you, and I'd like for the audience to pray for him
[06:30.940 --> 06:31.940]  as well.
[06:31.940 --> 06:37.500]  But I'll just say, and maybe you can help me, Lance, remember some of the things we did.
[06:37.500 --> 06:44.940]  We did so many things, as we did with Lance, it's hard to say, single out any one thing,
[06:44.940 --> 06:51.580]  with the exception of one thing, and that was the methylene blue and red light therapy.
[06:51.580 --> 06:53.740]  That seemed to help my tongue more than anything else.
[06:53.740 --> 06:59.860]  And that was not so much the stroke directly, that was a result of the operation.
[06:59.860 --> 07:06.500]  That damaged my vocal cords as well as the hypoglossal nerve under my tongue.
[07:06.500 --> 07:12.100]  And I was having a hard time even swallowing without choking, let alone talking.
[07:12.100 --> 07:22.100]  And so, we tried the methylene blue because we had read some research that people had
[07:22.100 --> 07:26.460]  found that was very effective right after a stroke.
[07:26.460 --> 07:32.700]  Less effective as time goes on, but still something that you might want to try.
[07:32.740 --> 07:36.980]  Of all the things that we did, that was the only thing that I felt an immediate change
[07:36.980 --> 07:37.980]  on.
[07:37.980 --> 07:41.700]  And again, that was not directly the stroke, that was because of my tongue.
[07:41.700 --> 07:45.420]  I put the methylene blue under my tongue, used red light therapy there.
[07:45.420 --> 07:53.140]  We had gotten some red light therapy for Karen's knee, and there were some small things that
[07:53.140 --> 07:57.340]  were removable and chargeable, but had a harness that would go around your knee, so it would
[07:57.340 --> 07:59.500]  hit it in three different areas.
[07:59.500 --> 08:05.540]  And it had a lot of reviews of people saying that it was very effective in terms of controlling
[08:05.540 --> 08:07.540]  pain, and it was for Karen.
[08:07.540 --> 08:12.740]  So I thought, let me try that as well with the methylene blue.
[08:12.740 --> 08:16.020]  And I just took one of those things that popped out, and I just stuck it in my mouth and left
[08:16.020 --> 08:18.340]  it there, and it made a big difference.
[08:18.340 --> 08:19.340]  Really did.
[08:19.340 --> 08:20.820]  So there's some things like that.
[08:20.820 --> 08:27.620]  We also did, because know that vitamin C injections help quite a bit, we did some of that.
[08:27.620 --> 08:36.140]  We actually did some hypobaric oxygen tent thing that was here in the area, and we did
[08:36.140 --> 08:38.300]  some of those as well.
[08:38.300 --> 08:45.140]  And other than that, I just took regular supplements to try to, yeah, he's putting his hand up.
[08:45.140 --> 08:48.560]  I can't think of anything really other than that that we did.
[08:48.560 --> 08:55.660]  It was a very slow process, and I still have a lot of issues with things that I can't do.
[08:55.700 --> 09:01.260]  Fortunately, I can read and speak, and I guess that's about all I need to be able to do.
[09:01.260 --> 09:03.420]  So it has not affected my reason.
[09:03.420 --> 09:06.940]  It never did affect my reason, but it did affect my speech a great deal.
[09:06.940 --> 09:09.420]  So Thomas will be praying for you.
[09:09.420 --> 09:16.980]  And if you want to correspond with the email that's on the website, be looking for your
[09:16.980 --> 09:17.980]  email.
[09:17.980 --> 09:19.500]  We'll try to find that.
[09:19.500 --> 09:20.940]  But let me get into the news here.
[09:21.220 --> 09:28.660]  As I said, Trump has got a new policy that he thinks is going to make housing more affordable
[09:28.660 --> 09:29.660]  perhaps.
[09:29.660 --> 09:31.740]  I don't think it'll do that at all.
[09:31.740 --> 09:36.980]  I think this is a bad idea, just like the 50-year mortgage has talked about that.
[09:36.980 --> 09:41.620]  That's going to make a lot more money for the banks, but it'll keep you indebted your
[09:41.620 --> 09:42.620]  entire life.
[09:42.620 --> 09:48.460]  I mean, a 50-year mortgage is going to be longer than most people's working career,
[09:48.460 --> 09:52.020]  even if people were buying homes at a much younger age.
[09:52.020 --> 09:57.020]  And of course, it's almost all going to be interest when you make it such a long period
[09:57.020 --> 09:58.020]  of time.
[09:58.020 --> 10:03.620]  So Trump's new idea is to ban corporations from buying homes.
[10:03.620 --> 10:09.380]  And look, we don't want to see BlackRock and all these other companies owning all the housing
[10:09.380 --> 10:12.100]  so that we own nothing and we have to rent everything.
[10:12.100 --> 10:17.700]  However, it has consequences when you do things without constitutional authority.
[10:17.700 --> 10:19.980]  When you usurp authority.
[10:19.980 --> 10:23.180]  And there is no constitutional authority for this in the first place.
[10:23.180 --> 10:26.580]  In the second place, it's not going to be effective.
[10:26.580 --> 10:27.580]  Think about what this is going to do.
[10:27.580 --> 10:33.420]  Is this going to help anybody buy a home to say that corporations can't buy homes?
[10:33.420 --> 10:34.420]  How is—
[10:34.420 --> 10:35.420]  What's going on, Texas?
[10:35.420 --> 10:36.420]  It's Bluff here.

[11:34.340 --> 11:36.740]  Is that possibly going to work?
[11:36.740 --> 11:40.440]  This is sheer demagoguery at best.
[11:40.440 --> 11:46.220]  But the reality is, is that he's going to dry up some of the buyers in the housing market.
[11:46.220 --> 11:49.780]  It doesn't make it easier for young people to buy homes.
[11:49.780 --> 11:53.700]  It makes it more difficult for older people to be able to sell their homes.
[11:53.700 --> 11:58.860]  Because we're not adding affordability to any of this.
[11:58.860 --> 12:04.060]  And especially when it is government policy that has been one of the biggest drivers of
[12:04.060 --> 12:06.600]  making homes unaffordable.
[12:06.600 --> 12:10.700]  Both the massive debt, which he has done everything, you know, here he is.
[12:10.700 --> 12:13.900]  One minute he's saying, well, we need to go to one and a half trillion dollar military
[12:13.900 --> 12:14.900]  budget.
[12:14.900 --> 12:16.700]  And the next one, you know, we can't afford homes anymore.
[12:16.700 --> 12:19.860]  I wonder why that is.
[12:19.860 --> 12:23.820]  You know, maybe you could really get rid of the income taxes you've hinted so many times,
[12:23.820 --> 12:25.940]  but I know you're not going to do it.
[12:25.940 --> 12:27.540]  And I've said that over and over again.
[12:27.540 --> 12:31.260]  I still have these diehard MAGA people wanting it to be true.
[12:31.260 --> 12:35.200]  They're going to pretend that it's going to be true, but it's not going to be true.
[12:35.200 --> 12:37.280]  He's not going to get rid of the income tax.
[12:37.280 --> 12:41.940]  And they're not going to get rid of a lot of the structural problems that are making
[12:41.940 --> 12:51.140]  it difficult for businesses to be profitable, for people to have good income, to control
[12:51.140 --> 12:52.140]  inflation.
[12:52.140 --> 12:53.140]  None of that stuff is going to happen.
[12:53.140 --> 12:56.540]  There are so many impediments that are coming from the government.
[12:56.540 --> 12:58.460]  Some of them direct, some of them indirect.
[12:58.660 --> 13:02.700]  You have government regulations that are driving up the price of everything, whether it's
[13:02.700 --> 13:04.220]  cars or homes or anything else.
[13:04.220 --> 13:11.420]  And then, of course, government inflation and the massive snowball of debt that is hanging
[13:11.420 --> 13:15.060]  over our heads like the sword of Damocles.
[13:15.060 --> 13:17.260]  That is going to burst.
[13:17.260 --> 13:21.140]  And the question is, which area is it going to burst in first?
[13:21.140 --> 13:25.700]  Is it going to be with Europe or is it going to be with America first?
[13:25.940 --> 13:32.980]  Who gets squeezed with this massive debt squeeze that's going to take out the currencies?
[13:32.980 --> 13:35.620]  There's a lot of really bad things on the horizon.
[13:35.620 --> 13:37.700]  And that is the real issue.
[13:37.700 --> 13:40.880]  This is just moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic.
[13:40.880 --> 13:41.880]  And not even that.
[13:41.880 --> 13:43.900]  It's taking away some of the deck chairs.
[13:43.900 --> 13:46.780]  Again, it doesn't help anything.
[13:46.780 --> 13:49.580]  The people who are trying to get into the market doesn't help them at all.
[13:49.580 --> 13:52.500]  It just takes some buyers off of the market.
[13:52.500 --> 13:54.900]  And I understand where this is supposed to go.
[13:54.900 --> 13:59.220]  Again, the end goal and the intention, well, we don't want all the homes owned by Black
[13:59.220 --> 14:00.220]  Rock.
[14:00.220 --> 14:01.580]  Well, I share that.
[14:01.580 --> 14:03.580]  But is this the way that you do it?
[14:03.580 --> 14:09.900]  Or do you empower the middle class by taking power and money away from Washington?
[14:09.900 --> 14:16.860]  Everything that Donald Trump has done is about consolidating more power, more money into Washington.
[14:16.860 --> 14:21.380]  He brags about his tariffs, bringing in $600 billion.
[14:21.380 --> 14:28.120]  You know, previously, the largest tax increase was, unsurprisingly, from FDR.
[14:28.120 --> 14:35.260]  And if you look at that and then normalize it to the devaluation of the dollar, that
[14:35.260 --> 14:40.380]  turned into that was about a $200 billion tax increase that FDR did.
[14:40.380 --> 14:47.020]  Trump is bragging about a $600 billion tax increase of tariffs, three times the amount.
[14:47.020 --> 14:53.300]  And so at least a third of that, I would say even more than that, is not coming from
[14:53.300 --> 14:56.380]  foreign sources or corporations or whatever.
[14:56.380 --> 15:00.620]  And if it is, they're going to have to put it in their product and service cost or they're
[15:00.620 --> 15:01.740]  going to go to business.
[15:01.740 --> 15:07.660]  But again, he's not doing anything to attack the root cause of the problems.
[15:07.660 --> 15:11.580]  He said the American dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially
[15:11.580 --> 15:12.580]  younger Americans.
[15:12.580 --> 15:15.040]  Yes, that's right.
[15:15.040 --> 15:20.980]  And so I immediately am taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying
[15:20.980 --> 15:29.380]  more single-family homes, again, ignoring all the causes that most of these are by government.
[15:29.380 --> 15:33.400]  Many of them, most of them, I would say, are by the federal government as well.
[15:33.400 --> 15:40.340]  So again, he's just going to harm the marketplace for sellers without even helping the buyers.
[15:40.340 --> 15:46.700]  That's another horrible idea from the administration that came up with the 50-year mortgage.
[15:46.700 --> 15:55.200]  This is perhaps the dumbest administration of my life, except that, as some people said,
[15:55.200 --> 16:00.060]  if they were merely stupid, they would every once in a while do the right thing.
[16:00.060 --> 16:02.060]  They don't do the right thing.
[16:02.060 --> 16:07.280]  And of course, as we talked about this 50-year mortgage previously, Laura Ingraham confronted
[16:07.280 --> 16:08.420]  him about it.
[16:08.420 --> 16:09.420]  And then he backs off.
[16:09.500 --> 16:10.500]  It's not even a big deal.
[16:10.500 --> 16:12.300]  I mean, you know, you go from 40 years to 50 years.
[16:12.300 --> 16:14.740]  He said, no, you go from 30 years to 50 years.
[16:14.740 --> 16:19.180]  He's probably never had to take out a home loan mortgage.
[16:19.180 --> 16:24.180]  He's taken out big loans for his businesses and then went bankrupt with them.
[16:24.180 --> 16:26.820]  But I doubt that he ever had to take out a mortgage for a home that he ever bought.
[16:26.820 --> 16:30.940]  He probably paid cash for every single one of them from the money that his daddy gave
[16:30.940 --> 16:32.900]  him till later on.
[16:32.900 --> 16:37.000]  But again, he goes, oh, from 30 to 50, whatever.
[16:37.000 --> 16:44.320]  So Blackstone's stock cratered after Trump talked about a ban on them buying single-family
[16:44.320 --> 16:45.320]  homes.
[16:45.320 --> 16:48.480]  Again, does he have the authority to do this?
[16:48.480 --> 16:51.600]  Does anybody in Washington have the authority to do this?
[16:51.600 --> 16:52.920]  I would say they don't.
[16:52.920 --> 16:58.200]  But yet again, what we see is it's not going to stop him from doing something like this.
[16:58.200 --> 17:01.400]  I don't know exactly how he plans on getting this through.
[17:01.400 --> 17:05.320]  The U.S. president said last month he is planning to unveil some of the most aggressive housing
[17:05.800 --> 17:08.960]  reform plans in American history in the coming year.
[17:08.960 --> 17:15.960]  You know, 50-year mortgage, bans on buyers, institutional buyers, great, big improvement.
[17:17.280 --> 17:21.280]  The Department of Justice is flouting the law on the Epstein file, so why isn't Pam
[17:21.280 --> 17:27.080]  Bondi in handcuffs, writes the Free Thought Project, and actually it's a Libertarian Institute
[17:27.080 --> 17:28.880]  article.
[17:28.880 --> 17:29.880]  And they're absolutely right.
[17:29.880 --> 17:35.000]  These are the same people, however, that are going to be investigating what happened in
[17:35.000 --> 17:38.480]  Minnesota.
[17:38.480 --> 17:42.520]  Do you expect that they are going to be honest in this evaluation?
[17:42.520 --> 17:47.080]  Do you think that, can you trust corrupt Cash Patel in this?
[17:47.080 --> 17:48.080]  I don't think so.
[17:48.080 --> 17:50.640]  I don't think there's going to be any accountability.
[17:50.640 --> 17:55.960]  Again, you have on the one hand the Minnesota Democrats and their corruption, and on the
[17:55.960 --> 18:00.360]  other hand you have the abuse of ICE.
[18:00.360 --> 18:08.280]  And it is, all of this is going to be a way to distract people, along with the Vinny
[18:08.280 --> 18:12.120]  Nam that's going on, that's what I call the Venezuela stuff.
[18:12.120 --> 18:18.080]  All that is going to be a way to distract people from the Epstein files, I think.
[18:18.080 --> 18:21.760]  Which again, is not just a salacious tale.
[18:21.760 --> 18:26.940]  This is not just a redo of Bill Clinton and his scandals.
[18:26.940 --> 18:31.620]  This is something that is very structural, because it reveals what's going on with the
[18:31.620 --> 18:38.700]  CIA, and with Mossad, and how they blackmail people, and it also tells us something about
[18:38.700 --> 18:42.220]  the culture and the corruption of Washington.
[18:42.220 --> 18:46.820]  Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back in a second.
[18:46.820 --> 18:51.220]  We're going to talk about what is happening in Minnesota, and I'm going to give you the
[18:51.220 --> 18:52.220]  update.
[18:52.380 --> 18:58.260]  I had somebody who was extremely angry with me over my take on it.
[18:58.260 --> 19:03.340]  I'm going to show you some other videos I didn't show you, and I've got one video that
[19:03.340 --> 19:09.860]  is supposedly the proof video of people saying that he acted in self-defense.
[19:09.860 --> 19:14.780]  It's the one that is very, very far away, very difficult to see, it has frequently been
[19:14.780 --> 19:17.180]  put out in a sped up version.
[19:17.180 --> 19:22.380]  I have, however, I'm going to show you the regular video, and then I'm going to show
[19:22.380 --> 19:27.420]  it to you at 50%, and then I'm going to show it to you at 10%.
[19:27.420 --> 19:34.700]  I took some time to go through and upscale the resolution, as well as to use optical
[19:34.700 --> 19:39.660]  flow out of DaVinci to smooth out the frame rates.
[19:39.660 --> 19:42.420]  Once you slow it down, it starts to get very jerky.
[19:42.420 --> 19:43.620]  So I've smoothed that out.
[19:43.620 --> 19:44.900]  So I think you'll be able to see this.
[19:44.900 --> 19:48.540]  We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
[20:44.900 --> 21:08.260]  You're listening to the David Knight Show.
[21:08.260 --> 21:09.260]  You know what?
[21:09.260 --> 21:14.820]  It sucks to be bored, but when I get on my phone and play real casino games on spinquest.com
[21:15.140 --> 21:16.740]  the time flies by.

[22:14.660 --> 22:17.700]  Send them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com.
[22:17.700 --> 22:25.540]  I said before that I think we're missing the forest for the trees and it's a forest of
[22:25.540 --> 22:27.700]  surveillance that is there.
[22:27.700 --> 22:33.940]  ICE has just purchased a tool to monitor phones of entire neighborhoods.
[22:33.940 --> 22:37.300]  This is geospatial intelligence taken to a new level.
[22:37.300 --> 22:38.300]  It's kind of interesting.
[22:38.660 --> 22:42.940]  Company that does this calls themselves PinLink.
[22:42.940 --> 22:50.220]  And it is really a reference to the pin IDs that were used by the phone companies going
[22:50.220 --> 22:52.300]  back to the middle of the 20th century.
[22:52.300 --> 22:57.820]  When surveillance first began without warrants, that was the CIA, the NSA, that were doing
[22:57.820 --> 22:59.180]  that.
[22:59.180 --> 23:02.980]  And the court decisions that allowed them to do that said, well, you can keep these
[23:03.220 --> 23:09.500]  numbers and that's information that belongs to the phone companies.
[23:09.500 --> 23:12.460]  And these people turned over this information that now belongs to the phone companies that
[23:12.460 --> 23:14.020]  doesn't belong to them.
[23:14.020 --> 23:17.660]  It's information about you because you use their services.
[23:17.660 --> 23:21.060]  But that's their information and they can give it to the government if they wish.
[23:21.060 --> 23:24.420]  And the government doesn't need to have a search warrant if somebody's going to voluntarily
[23:24.420 --> 23:25.500]  give them that information.
[23:25.500 --> 23:32.020]  So this company actually leans into that and actually uses that as its name, PinLink.
[23:32.060 --> 23:37.020]  So commercial location data, in this case acquired from hundreds of millions of phones
[23:37.020 --> 23:43.420]  via a company called PinLink, can be queried without a warrant according to an internal
[23:43.420 --> 23:47.740]  ICE legal analysis shared with 404 Media.
[23:47.740 --> 23:53.940]  The purchase comes squarely during ICE's mass deportation effort and continued crackdown
[23:53.940 --> 24:01.740]  on protected speech, alarming civil libertarians, experts, and raising questions on what exactly
[24:01.740 --> 24:05.620]  ICE will use the surveillance system for.
[24:05.620 --> 24:11.500]  And what is different about this one is it's not only geospatial intelligence, which as
[24:11.500 --> 24:19.180]  I said many times, that is the hallmark of the started building geospatial intelligence
[24:19.180 --> 24:22.180]  organizations.
[24:22.180 --> 24:26.100]  That's where James Clapper rose up was through geospatial intelligence.
[24:26.100 --> 24:29.780]  They would have before the COVID thing.
[24:29.820 --> 24:33.620]  They were having annual conventions drawing in about 4,000 people.
[24:33.620 --> 24:35.740]  It was pretty large.
[24:35.740 --> 24:40.340]  And it was the fastest growing part of the intelligence community, geospatial intelligence.
[24:40.340 --> 24:45.140]  And it was something that the CIA as well as all the intelligence agencies wanted to
[24:45.140 --> 24:50.940]  get into venture capital so they could help to fund these social media companies.
[24:50.940 --> 24:55.460]  And this particular one doesn't just look at your phone information.
[24:55.460 --> 25:00.660]  It cross correlates that with your social media activities as well.
[25:00.660 --> 25:02.180]  And that's why they went with this company.
[25:02.180 --> 25:03.820]  There's other companies that do this.
[25:03.820 --> 25:07.700]  They're the only ones that combine it with your social media.
[25:07.700 --> 25:09.740]  Think about how that's going to be used.
[25:09.740 --> 25:14.780]  It'll track the movements of devices and their owners over time, follow them from their place
[25:14.780 --> 25:20.220]  of work to their home or other locations and see who they are interacting with.
[25:20.220 --> 25:26.820]  This has always been the hallmark of geospatial intelligence to infer from the metadata what
[25:26.820 --> 25:41.740]  your political beliefs are and other things like your religious beliefs as well.
[25:41.740 --> 25:49.620]  This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out of control agency.
[25:49.620 --> 25:53.740]  The granular location information paints a detailed picture of who we are, where we
[25:53.740 --> 25:57.140]  go and who we spend time with.
[25:57.140 --> 26:02.540]  This week, the Department of Homeland Security started deploying as many as 2,000 officers
[26:02.540 --> 26:04.740]  in Minneapolis.
[26:04.740 --> 26:11.220]  But in September, 404 Media reported on ICE's planned purchase of the technology consisting
[26:11.220 --> 26:15.620]  of two pen link products called Tangles and Webblock.
[26:16.060 --> 26:22.180]  404 Media has now obtained material that explains in greater detail how the system works.
[26:22.180 --> 26:26.620]  Webblock users can search its database of mobile phone data in various ways.
[26:26.620 --> 26:32.780]  Users can perform a single perimeter analysis so you can geofence it.
[26:32.780 --> 26:35.900]  You can say, I want to get details of all the phones that are in this area.
[26:35.900 --> 26:38.860]  We've already seen that happen on January the 6th.
[26:38.860 --> 26:39.860]  Remember that?
[26:39.860 --> 26:40.860]  How that worked?
[26:40.860 --> 26:42.900]  This is what is so amazing to me.
[26:42.900 --> 26:46.660]  This has just been through this rodeo with Joe Biden.
[26:46.660 --> 26:51.260]  They know how they can be singled out and attacked when you give these kinds of powers
[26:51.260 --> 26:52.260]  to the government.
[26:52.260 --> 27:00.100]  And yet, they are rushing full-on into letting the Trump administration have free reign to
[27:00.100 --> 27:05.220]  do this and to set all new levels and all new precedents of this.
[27:05.220 --> 27:12.880]  And so, once a Webblock user has identified a device of interest, they can get more detail
[27:12.960 --> 27:17.440]  about that particular phone by extension its owner by seeing where else it has traveled
[27:17.440 --> 27:20.800]  both locally and across the country.
[27:20.800 --> 27:25.360]  Users can click a route feature which shows the path that the device has taken.
[27:25.360 --> 27:30.960]  If users look at where the device was located at night, that's probably your home during
[27:30.960 --> 27:34.680]  the day, the person, possible employer.
[27:34.680 --> 27:40.240]  And again, it all goes back to your big brother phone, doesn't it?
[27:40.240 --> 27:44.920]  Dragnet is the key device for all of this.
[27:44.920 --> 27:50.080]  Software can do a multi-perimeter analysis which monitors multiple locations at once
[27:50.080 --> 27:56.060]  to see which devices have been present at two or more specific places.
[27:56.060 --> 28:02.480]  So this type of surveillance, Dragnet, will enable draconian policing and abuse.
[28:02.480 --> 28:09.120]  You better be careful in terms of cheering the police with all this stuff.
[28:09.520 --> 28:16.320]  And these government manufactured problems, and the border is a government manufactured problem.
[28:16.320 --> 28:22.040]  It's a problem that Donald Trump let run wild as well while he was president the first term.
[28:22.040 --> 28:24.600]  Then they come in with a solution.
[28:24.600 --> 28:29.880]  And over and over again, we see the solutions being offered by conservatives, by republicans.
[28:29.880 --> 28:33.160]  Take for example, in Florida, DeSantis and the Republican Party.
[28:33.160 --> 28:38.320]  Well, we got a lot of illegal immigrants who are coming in, taking people's jobs, so we're
[28:38.320 --> 28:41.720]  going to have mandatory e-verify.
[28:41.720 --> 28:44.360]  You're going to have to prove your credentials, you're going to have to have a government
[28:44.360 --> 28:49.440]  ID and be able to prove your credentials in order to have a job, to be able to work.
[28:49.440 --> 28:53.920]  Or you have the other approach where, okay, we've got some harmful websites out there
[28:53.920 --> 28:55.520]  for children.
[28:55.520 --> 29:00.640]  So the government is going to make you have an ID, or we have people who are saying mean
[29:00.640 --> 29:04.840]  things anonymously, can't allow that to happen.
[29:04.840 --> 29:08.040]  And the conservatives are just as bad about that as the liberals are.
[29:08.040 --> 29:13.480]  I mean, look at Jordan Peterson, for example, he wants to end anonymity on the internet.
[29:13.480 --> 29:17.800]  And so we can't have anonymity and we have to be concerned about what children can get
[29:17.800 --> 29:23.160]  into because, you know, far be it from parents to cut off their access to the internet or
[29:23.160 --> 29:24.160]  to police that.
[29:24.160 --> 29:31.600]  So we're going to pretend that if you've got ID requirements, that kids won't be able to
[29:31.600 --> 29:33.440]  get around it.
[29:33.440 --> 29:41.200]  And so they use protecting children as a means of putting in an ID to use the internet,
[29:41.200 --> 29:42.520]  and on and on.
[29:42.520 --> 29:47.680]  And so it's always going to be a government problem that they then, well, it seems like
[29:47.680 --> 29:54.360]  the solution to every government problem is to have an ID for people, to be able to track
[29:54.360 --> 29:55.360]  and to surveil us.
[29:55.360 --> 29:59.920]  Doesn't it seem to be the, always the solution for all of this stuff?
[29:59.920 --> 30:02.720]  A draconian police state.
[30:02.720 --> 30:09.660]  This is why people need to understand the danger that is there and be very concerned
[30:09.660 --> 30:15.200]  about the militarized, federalized police.
[30:15.200 --> 30:18.600]  I want to see the borders controlled.
[30:18.600 --> 30:24.400]  I would like to see illegal immigrants deported, but not the way this is being done.
[30:24.400 --> 30:25.960]  This is being done in a confrontational way.
[30:25.960 --> 30:33.880]  This is being done to enable and to spread a cancer of militarized police state.
[30:33.880 --> 30:42.120]  And so the fact is that they can use this to anticipate crime and all the rest of these
[30:42.120 --> 30:43.120]  things.
[30:43.120 --> 30:45.680]  There's a tremendous amount of abuse that can be done with this.
[30:45.680 --> 30:50.200]  And we've already seen this happen, and it happened to conservatives, but they got the
[30:50.200 --> 30:52.520]  attention span of a fruit fly.
[30:52.520 --> 30:54.200]  It's amazing to me.
[30:54.200 --> 30:58.720]  It's, you know, they've just been through this whole rodeo with Joe Biden coming after
[30:58.720 --> 31:01.480]  the January 6th people.
[31:01.480 --> 31:05.760]  And the January 6th people really still don't understand how they were betrayed by Trump.
[31:05.760 --> 31:10.760]  They don't see the principles that are being laid out in terms of the police state and
[31:10.760 --> 31:12.520]  how this stuff was abused by Biden.
[31:12.520 --> 31:13.520]  And guess what?
[31:13.520 --> 31:15.240]  There will be another Biden.
[31:15.240 --> 31:16.580]  There will be another Obama.
[31:16.580 --> 31:17.880]  There will be another Hillary.
[31:17.880 --> 31:23.480]  What are they going to do with these powers that you are so trusting of that you want
[31:23.480 --> 31:25.280]  to give them to Donald Trump?
[31:25.280 --> 31:31.360]  Well, ICE paid nearly $2 million for access to one of these programs, Tangles, additional
[31:31.360 --> 31:35.280]  licenses in December for another $312,000.
[31:35.280 --> 31:40.600]  WebBlock is not a unique capability in terms of location data industry.
[31:40.600 --> 31:46.400]  A former employee of a similar company called Babel Street previously told me that users
[31:46.400 --> 31:55.260]  can draw a shape on a map to see all the devices that Babel Street has for that location.
[31:55.260 --> 31:57.800]  Then see where else that device has been.
[31:57.800 --> 32:03.240]  But the ICE document indicated that the agency chose PenLink over its competitors because
[32:03.240 --> 32:09.080]  the company provides an all-in-one tool for searching both masses of location data off
[32:09.080 --> 32:14.080]  of phones and information from social media.
[32:14.080 --> 32:19.560]  Under long-standing Supreme Court precedent, an individual has no reasonable expectation
[32:19.560 --> 32:25.760]  of privacy under the Fourth Amendment and information voluntarily disclosed to third
[32:25.760 --> 32:26.760]  parties.
[32:26.760 --> 32:28.320]  That's what their analysis said.
[32:28.320 --> 32:32.480]  And again, this goes back to the PIN numbers.
[32:32.480 --> 32:38.080]  And this is something that the government has been doing since the 1950s.
[32:38.080 --> 32:45.920]  That's why we had the church committee hearing over the CIA, as well as the Pike committee
[32:45.920 --> 32:50.320]  hearing in the House, looking at what the NSA was doing.
[32:50.320 --> 32:55.760]  In both those cases, what they were concerned about was the warrantless searching of Americans.
[32:55.760 --> 32:59.960]  And what we got out of those two things was the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
[32:59.960 --> 33:05.840]  that was supposed to stop them from doing warrantless searches on Americans in America
[33:05.840 --> 33:07.840]  unless they had a warrant.
[33:07.840 --> 33:08.840]  Where did they get the warrant?
[33:08.840 --> 33:09.840]  From the FISA court.
[33:09.840 --> 33:16.520]  It was basically a gigantic loophole that did more to further domestic surveillance
[33:16.520 --> 33:19.120]  than it did to prevent it.
[33:19.120 --> 33:20.440]  We see this happening over and over again.
[33:20.440 --> 33:26.280]  And of course, they distracted the public's attention by talking about the CIA's assassinations
[33:26.280 --> 33:29.120]  and coups and their heart attack guns and all the rest of this stuff.
[33:29.120 --> 33:33.280]  Well, the Trump administration says it's illegal to record videos of ICE.
[33:33.280 --> 33:35.920]  Isn't that interesting?
[33:35.920 --> 33:40.760]  They are going to be monitoring everybody and trying to draw conclusions about everybody
[33:40.760 --> 33:45.920]  using this kind of software, but don't you dare record them, right?
[33:45.920 --> 33:50.720]  Well, reason says, here's what the law says, however.
[33:50.720 --> 33:54.920]  And so the Trump administration believes that you don't have the right to record ICE officers
[33:54.920 --> 33:55.920]  in public.
[33:55.920 --> 33:58.120]  Isn't that interesting?
[33:58.120 --> 34:07.720]  This is kind of the, you know, when you look at it, it's okay to shoot people, shoot dogs,
[34:07.720 --> 34:09.960]  I guess, if you're Kristian Ohm as well.
[34:09.960 --> 34:11.100]  That's okay.
[34:11.100 --> 34:15.280]  But videotaping them is violence.
[34:15.280 --> 34:17.040]  That's what Kristian Ohm says.
[34:17.040 --> 34:19.740]  Violence is anything that threatens them and their safety.
[34:19.740 --> 34:26.180]  So it is doxing them, it is videotaping them, where they're at, when they're out on operations,
[34:26.180 --> 34:27.180]  she says.
[34:27.180 --> 34:33.860]  Again, you're videotaping, or you're observing them, is violence.
[34:33.860 --> 34:40.540]  It's very much like the left-wing's idea that speech is violence, and so we have to censor
[34:40.540 --> 34:41.540]  you, right?
[34:41.540 --> 34:45.740]  Now, if you observe these people who are in public areas, they say that everything that
[34:45.740 --> 34:52.260]  you do in public, they can record, they can make assumptions about, and they can come
[34:52.260 --> 34:53.820]  after you for that.
[34:53.820 --> 34:56.420]  But don't you dare record them.
[34:56.420 --> 35:02.980]  Well, this is all both factually wrong and an attempt to chill free speech by conflating
[35:02.980 --> 35:03.980]  it with violence.
[35:03.980 --> 35:11.020]  This is the conservative version of the left saying that hate speech has to be controlled.
[35:11.020 --> 35:18.020]  At a July 2025 press conference in Tampa, Florida, Kristian Ohm said, violence is anything
[35:18.020 --> 35:22.260]  that threatens them and their safety, doxing them, videotaping them, where they're at,
[35:22.260 --> 35:23.540]  on operations.
[35:23.540 --> 35:30.140]  So in September 2025, her assistant secretary for public affairs, Tricia McLaughlin, said
[35:30.140 --> 35:36.220]  that videotaping ICE law enforcement and posting photos and videos of them online is a form
[35:36.220 --> 35:38.040]  of doxing.
[35:38.040 --> 35:44.300]  We will prosecute those who illegally harass ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law,
[35:44.300 --> 35:45.300]  she said.
[35:45.300 --> 35:50.140]  Again, this is the same rationale that the left has for its hate speech.

[36:54.620 --> 36:56.500]  Yeah, here we are right here.
[36:56.500 --> 36:59.380]  No, that's the actual murderer itself.
[36:59.380 --> 37:00.980]  This is the picture of the murderer.
[37:00.980 --> 37:01.980]  Right there.
[37:01.980 --> 37:05.380]  Come and get me!
[37:05.380 --> 37:10.860]  That's the guy that cold-blooded murdered her, and look at the expression on his face.
[37:10.860 --> 37:12.420]  I'm disgusted with these people.
[37:12.420 --> 37:14.820]  Yeah, come and get me, Kristi Noem.
[37:14.820 --> 37:16.820]  It's amazing.
[37:16.820 --> 37:22.180]  Well, these are not idle threats, the Trump administration's strong-armed apple into
[37:22.180 --> 37:26.860]  removing an app from its mobile store that tracked ICE activity.
[37:26.860 --> 37:32.260]  The most aggressive application of this policy has come in Chicago, what they call Operation
[37:32.260 --> 37:38.020]  Midway Blitz, where ICE officers have relentlessly targeted protesters, reporters, and clergy
[37:38.020 --> 37:42.380]  engaged and protected First Amendment activity.
[37:42.420 --> 37:47.900]  In October, a group of journalists and protesters filed a lawsuit alleging a pattern of extreme
[37:47.900 --> 37:56.300]  brutality and a concerted and ongoing effort to silence the press as well as the public.
[37:56.300 --> 38:01.420]  When ICE field director Russell Hott was asked if he agreed that it's unconstitutional to
[38:01.420 --> 38:08.540]  arrest people for being opposed to Midway Blitz, he said, no, no.
[38:08.540 --> 38:11.220]  If you're opposed to this, we will arrest you.
[38:11.260 --> 38:19.780]  Similarly, the Border Protection Commissioner, Greg Bovino, testified that he had instructed
[38:19.780 --> 38:25.620]  his officers to arrest protesters who make hyperbolic comments in the heat of political
[38:25.620 --> 38:31.660]  demonstrations, even though such statements, which do not constitute true threats, are
[38:31.660 --> 38:34.220]  protected speech.
[38:34.220 --> 38:39.380]  Hott and Bovino's depositions were filed under seal, and those comments were later
[38:39.380 --> 38:46.500]  redacted in a corrected filing by the lawsuit plaintiffs, but not before others took screenshots
[38:46.500 --> 38:47.500]  of them.
[38:47.500 --> 38:51.420]  And of course, you've seen this type of thing happen before, with the TSA admitting that
[38:51.420 --> 38:56.100]  there was no threat to planes or airports, at the same time they're trying to turn Texas
[38:56.100 --> 39:03.540]  into a no-fly zone for opposing their naked body scanners and their pat-downs of children.
[39:03.540 --> 39:10.380]  And so these two guys said one thing in their depositions, and then they tried to redact
[39:10.380 --> 39:11.380]  these comments.
[39:11.380 --> 39:15.900]  And by the way, I'll just say in passing, is it interesting that this ice guy's name
[39:15.900 --> 39:22.780]  is Hott, Hott with two T's.
[39:22.780 --> 39:30.940]  So Judge Sarah Ellis in Chicago issued a preliminary injunction against DHS in early November,
[39:30.940 --> 39:35.220]  saying the government's conduct, quote, shocked the conscience.
[39:35.220 --> 39:38.500]  She also found that the official's testimony was not credible.
[39:38.500 --> 39:41.220]  In other words, they were lying.
[39:41.220 --> 39:46.100]  Bovino, for example, testified that he had never used a force against a protester that
[39:46.100 --> 39:48.540]  he was filmed tackling.
[39:48.540 --> 39:53.860]  So that's a problem for Kristi Noem and for Bovino and for Trump.
[39:53.860 --> 39:57.220]  We got the videotape of you guys.
[39:57.220 --> 40:02.580]  He also lied about being hit with a rock before firing tear gas at demonstrators.
[40:02.580 --> 40:06.660]  This is something else that we saw at January the 6th, isn't it?
[40:06.660 --> 40:10.780]  What is it about MAGA that they can't get their head around this?
[40:10.780 --> 40:13.340]  But now they love everything that the police do.
[40:13.340 --> 40:16.660]  They can do no wrong.
[40:16.660 --> 40:22.140]  So describing rapid response networks and neighborhood moms as professional agitators
[40:22.140 --> 40:27.740]  shows just how out of touch these agents are and how extreme their views are, said
[40:27.740 --> 40:29.340]  the judge.
[40:29.340 --> 40:33.620]  The Trump administration responded by calling the judge an activist.
[40:33.620 --> 40:38.500]  But it is squarely wrong when it comes to recording and protesting the police.
[40:38.500 --> 40:43.140]  Cato Institute senior fellow Walter Olson points out that while the Supreme Court itself
[40:43.140 --> 40:49.640]  has not yet faced the issue squarely, seven federal circuit courts have done so.
[40:49.640 --> 40:53.760]  And all of them agree the First Amendment protects the right to record police performing
[40:53.760 --> 40:55.600]  their duties in public.
[40:55.600 --> 41:00.960]  Folks, this is just common sense as well as common law.
[41:00.960 --> 41:06.800]  It's not hard to find examples of rotten agency culture and practice.
[41:06.800 --> 41:12.800]  In October, for example, ICE officers broke out the window of a U.S. citizen's car and
[41:12.800 --> 41:18.040]  detained her for seven hours after she followed and photographed their unmarked vehicles.
[41:18.640 --> 41:24.960]  DHS accused her of reckless driving, attempting to block in officers with her car, and of
[41:24.960 --> 41:29.800]  resisting arrest, all claims that she and her lawyer deny.
[41:29.800 --> 41:32.600]  Prosecutors did not even charge the woman with a crime.
[41:32.600 --> 41:34.680]  They didn't believe it.
[41:34.680 --> 41:40.800]  And again, they don't mention it in this article, but there was the guy who was following them
[41:40.800 --> 41:46.640]  around with a car and videotaping what they were doing, and they chased him and rammed
[41:46.640 --> 41:49.480]  him with their car.
[41:49.480 --> 41:56.200]  Recording government agents is one of the few tools citizens have to hold power accountable.
[41:56.200 --> 42:05.560]  Any attempt to redefine observation as violence is not only unconstitutional, it is authoritarian
[42:05.560 --> 42:07.760]  gaslighting.
[42:07.760 --> 42:12.560]  When a government fears cameras more than crimes, that's what we're looking at here.
[42:12.560 --> 42:18.960]  And so, with that as background, as I said, I got an angry email from somebody that I've
[42:18.960 --> 42:24.880]  not noticed before, commenting, somebody who calls himself Flower Child, saying that I
[42:24.880 --> 42:28.360]  lost viewers today by being wrong.
[42:28.360 --> 42:35.360]  And this is what, assuming it's a woman by the name of Flower Child, is what she said.
[42:35.360 --> 42:40.000]  She said, you can clearly see in the video, the guy was in front of the vehicle when he
[42:40.000 --> 42:43.800]  drew his gun and the woman floored it at him.
[42:43.800 --> 42:44.800]  What would you have done?
[42:44.800 --> 42:51.680]  Well, first of all, I would have gotten out of the way, but I wouldn't shoot at a car
[42:51.680 --> 43:00.080]  like an idiot, because since 1972, as I pointed out yesterday, since 1972, New York Police
[43:00.080 --> 43:04.640]  Department and many others have said, it's foolish to do this.
[43:04.640 --> 43:06.360]  And we'll get into that again.
[43:06.360 --> 43:11.440]  But anyway, she says, you can clearly see the guy bounce off the car as she hits him.
[43:11.440 --> 43:13.560]  Sorry, but no.
[43:13.560 --> 43:16.360]  He's still standing on his feet.
[43:16.360 --> 43:17.640]  He's not bouncing on the floor.
[43:17.640 --> 43:18.640]  He didn't get run over.
[43:18.640 --> 43:20.480]  He didn't bounce off the car.
[43:20.480 --> 43:22.040]  He was not injured at all.
[43:22.040 --> 43:25.000]  And he was not threatened at the point that he shot her.
[43:25.000 --> 43:28.400]  At the point he shot her, he was at the side of the car.
[43:28.400 --> 43:32.400]  And you can see that from the curved side of the windshield.
[43:32.400 --> 43:37.560]  There's no way that he would have hit her in the head from that angle.
[43:37.560 --> 43:39.640]  And you can see where the bullet hole went in there.
[43:39.640 --> 43:42.320]  He was not directly square in front of the car.
[43:42.320 --> 43:46.920]  And you can also see, if you look at it, you can see that she's got the wheels turned.
[43:46.920 --> 43:52.200]  If she wanted to run over him, she could have easily have done that by not turning the wheels.
[43:52.200 --> 43:53.280]  You know, I've driven a car before.
[43:53.280 --> 43:54.280]  I know how that thing works.
[43:54.280 --> 43:56.280]  Have you ever driven a car before?
[43:56.280 --> 43:57.600]  Do you know how that works?
[43:57.800 --> 44:02.680]  Anyway, she said, so I suggest that you do some kind of a retraction.
[44:02.680 --> 44:04.160]  You're really pissing off your fans.
[44:04.160 --> 44:07.920]  And she says, I know that you always want to distance yourself from Alex Jones, but
[44:07.920 --> 44:11.520]  I switched over to Alex when you pissed me off this morning.
[44:11.520 --> 44:14.640]  And he has the full video showing you you're wrong.
[44:14.640 --> 44:18.760]  Well, I showed all the videos except the one that Meg and Kelly had and probably the one
[44:18.760 --> 44:19.960]  that Alex Jones has.
[44:19.960 --> 44:24.520]  They chose the one that was furthest away, the one that's the most difficult to see.
[44:24.520 --> 44:29.000]  Because then you will go with their narrative, their interpretation of this, instead of your
[44:29.000 --> 44:30.000]  lying eyes.
[44:30.000 --> 44:37.040]  Hit with a car, you know, so I don't think that really is the issue here.
[44:37.040 --> 44:40.160]  I've been listening for many years, but I'm probably not going to come back.
[44:40.160 --> 44:42.200]  Well, that's too bad.
[44:42.200 --> 44:48.480]  But as I said to her, I responded, because it was an email, I said, well, perhaps you
[44:48.480 --> 44:53.040]  didn't stick around to hear that since 1972, the New York Police Department and many other
[44:53.080 --> 44:58.200]  police departments across the country have found that firing into a car is reckless,
[44:58.200 --> 45:03.600]  ineffective and dangerous to bystanders and other officers for a number of reasons.
[45:03.600 --> 45:10.200]  I stand by what we can clearly see in the videos and the gunshots made into the side
[45:10.200 --> 45:12.480]  of the car, meaning.
[45:12.480 --> 45:16.520]  Are you in Texas and are you tired of not being able to play blackjack roulette and
[45:16.520 --> 45:17.520]  even craps?
[45:17.520 --> 45:18.520]  Well, guess what?

[46:12.800 --> 46:17.060]  Betty was not at danger of being run over if he's beside the car.
[46:17.060 --> 46:19.900]  The officer wasn't even knocked down.
[46:19.900 --> 46:23.620]  He was later walking and smirking.
[46:23.620 --> 46:28.260]  Force was used excessively, recklessly and fatally.
[46:28.260 --> 46:31.320]  You should be ashamed of yourself for excusing it.
[46:31.320 --> 46:34.840]  Please show me the video that matches what Trump and Noam said.
[46:34.840 --> 46:37.260]  The officers were stuck in the snow.
[46:37.260 --> 46:40.320]  The shooter was run over, hospitalized.
[46:40.320 --> 46:41.320]  Please show me that video.
[46:41.320 --> 46:44.520]  I said, you'll be happier watching Alex Jones.
[46:44.520 --> 46:50.040]  He cares so much about viewership that he'll tell people what they want to hear rather
[46:50.040 --> 46:52.500]  than what is true.
[46:52.500 --> 46:59.240]  You might want to think about where this bullying police state is going to end up, especially
[46:59.240 --> 47:01.340]  under the Democrats.
[47:01.340 --> 47:07.580]  Rather than focusing on strengthening the rule of law, Trump is undermining it and promoting
[47:07.580 --> 47:11.260]  more conflict, deliberately provoking it.
[47:11.260 --> 47:16.400]  Alex Jones promotes war now because Trump has aligned himself with a deep state CIA
[47:16.400 --> 47:17.400]  agenda.
[47:17.400 --> 47:21.520]  Hopefully, you won't let Alex pick your pocket and set you up for another entrapment like
[47:21.520 --> 47:23.960]  he did people on January the 6th.
[47:23.960 --> 47:25.880]  I stand by my comments.
[47:25.880 --> 47:30.600]  I stand against militarized police by the federal government.
[47:30.600 --> 47:37.600]  As a matter of fact, if you take a look at this, we want to talk about somebody being
[47:37.600 --> 47:39.140]  run over.
[47:39.140 --> 47:41.720]  There's ice hitting a protester and just keeps going.
[47:41.720 --> 47:44.040]  Look at this.
[47:44.040 --> 47:45.040]  Is that a problem?
[47:45.040 --> 47:46.960]  Is that a problem for you to see that?
[47:46.960 --> 47:51.020]  You see, that guy was a woman was knocked down.
[47:51.020 --> 47:54.000]  This officer was not even knocked down.
[47:54.000 --> 47:56.920]  She wasn't moving very fast when they made contact.
[47:56.920 --> 48:03.960]  And I suggest that it was as much his fault as hers that there was contact even made.
[48:03.960 --> 48:04.960]  Can't hear you, Lance.
[48:04.960 --> 48:06.560]  Put your mic on.
[48:07.420 --> 48:10.580]  I don't hear you yet.
[48:10.580 --> 48:16.140]  Well let me work on that and while you do, let me show you the angle, the one angle that
[48:16.140 --> 48:21.140]  I didn't show yesterday because I didn't think that it was very informative.
[48:21.140 --> 48:26.780]  It was difficult to see and the other ones actually show the whole situation much better.
[48:26.780 --> 48:32.260]  So let's see, here's the, well actually this is the one that I think does, this is what
[48:32.260 --> 48:36.500]  I showed yesterday and I think it shows it pretty clearly.
[48:36.500 --> 48:40.360]  You can actually hear the sound so you can see where the officer was at the time that
[48:40.360 --> 48:44.400]  he fired the shots as well.
[48:44.400 --> 48:48.520]  Now look, he's off to the side, fires a shot there.
[48:48.520 --> 48:49.520]  He's no longer in danger.
[48:49.520 --> 48:50.520]  He's off to the side.
[48:50.520 --> 48:54.280]  There's more shots being fired as he's clearly off to the side.
[48:54.280 --> 48:58.000]  Even the first shot that he fired there, he was off to the side.
[48:58.000 --> 49:02.440]  Yeah, let's, oh sorry, here we go.
[49:02.440 --> 49:10.440]  Now watch this, even when he fires the first shot, he is no longer in front of the car.
[49:10.440 --> 49:13.480]  See the wheel turn?
[49:13.480 --> 49:14.480]  First shot.
[49:14.480 --> 49:15.480]  Another shot.
[49:15.480 --> 49:25.540]  What were you saying Lance, I'll tell everybody since I can't hear your microphone.
[49:25.540 --> 49:26.540]  What's up?
[49:26.540 --> 49:27.540]  Can you hear it now?
[49:27.540 --> 49:28.540]  No I don't hear it now.
[49:28.540 --> 49:29.540]  Okay.
[49:29.540 --> 49:30.540]  Oh now I got it, now I got it.
[49:30.540 --> 49:31.540]  Can you hear it now?
[49:31.640 --> 49:32.640]  Yeah.
[49:32.640 --> 49:37.860]  All right, it looks like he might have, so if you look at his feet, he jumps back.
[49:37.860 --> 49:42.820]  I don't know if he hit like an elbow against the rear view mirror, but you can see that
[49:42.820 --> 49:45.780]  his feet were clear of it even before he jumps back.
[49:45.780 --> 49:46.780]  Yeah, that's right.
[49:46.780 --> 49:52.420]  I think a lot of the people that say that he was hit, he might have hit again just his
[49:52.420 --> 49:58.360]  arms against the mirror, but it looks to me like that they're seeing him jumping back
[49:58.360 --> 50:00.860]  and thinking that it's him getting hit.
[50:00.860 --> 50:05.020]  She is not being attacked by her, she's not trying to run him down, she turned the wheels
[50:05.020 --> 50:07.380]  and he shot her from the side.
[50:07.380 --> 50:08.380]  End of story.
[50:08.380 --> 50:13.860]  But I'll show the other clip that everybody is so key about and I think I've got a better
[50:13.860 --> 50:14.980]  visual of this.
[50:14.980 --> 50:20.260]  I've got it first here at regular speed, then we'll show it at 50% speed, then at 10% speed
[50:20.260 --> 50:26.540]  and I've upped the resolution to 4K, it was actually 720.
[50:26.540 --> 50:28.640]  So here's that video.
[50:28.640 --> 50:33.400]  This is a very distant video as you can see and this is what everybody is looking at.
[50:33.400 --> 50:37.640]  They can tell you, oh, so this is what you're seeing and it's not what you're seeing.
[50:37.640 --> 50:50.560]  Now here it is at 50% and I've enlarged it a bit, okay, there he is there.
[50:50.560 --> 50:54.280]  And this is now at 10% speed.
[50:54.280 --> 51:01.560]  And I've noticed that a lot of people put this out at, I sped it up so it looks more
[51:01.560 --> 51:09.340]  violent, but this is going to be at 10% speed so you can see where this is.
[51:09.340 --> 51:15.120]  And I don't think that this is a smoking gun for their side.
[51:15.120 --> 51:21.220]  I think that I stand by my analysis, you can see for yourself, make up your own decision.
[51:21.220 --> 51:25.040]  I just think that this is over the top.
[51:25.040 --> 51:29.940]  As a matter of fact, one of the things that's bothered me about all this stuff, this is
[51:29.940 --> 51:33.780]  going very slow, this is at 10% and you can see what's going on.
[51:33.780 --> 51:38.620]  His life is not in danger and he shot her from the side.
[51:38.620 --> 51:47.660]  So this particular guy, Grant Stinchfield, he's got a radio show and a podcast or something.
[51:47.660 --> 51:51.480]  He's got a little slogan that he wants you to follow, right?
[51:51.480 --> 51:57.500]  Just like we hear all the time, click it or tick it, got these little rhyming slogans
[51:57.500 --> 52:00.780]  so the police can memorize it and threaten you with it.
[52:00.780 --> 52:06.300]  Well his is, show your hands, obey commands.
[52:06.300 --> 52:07.300]  Isn't that great?
[52:07.300 --> 52:09.820]  Don't you want to do that?
[52:09.820 --> 52:11.320]  Dumb and threatening.
[52:11.320 --> 52:15.300]  Yeah, show your hands, obey the commands.
[52:15.300 --> 52:18.820]  As a matter of fact, here's what he has to say.
[52:18.820 --> 52:24.300]  I can prove to you in 45 seconds that this ICE involved shooting was 100% justified in
[52:24.300 --> 52:25.300]  Minnesota.
[52:25.300 --> 52:27.740]  100% justified, you say?
[52:27.740 --> 52:32.180]  Two ICE agents clearly giving her commands to stop where she is.
[52:32.180 --> 52:33.780]  Oh, obey those commands.
[52:33.780 --> 52:37.340]  At any moment if she did, she would still be alive today.
[52:37.340 --> 52:40.700]  It's her fault she didn't obey the police like a slave.
[52:40.700 --> 52:54.540]  Now here's their favorite clip.
[52:54.540 --> 52:57.900]  You can see that split second decisions are made.
[52:57.900 --> 53:00.300]  They are life and death decisions.
[53:00.300 --> 53:05.620]  Any reasonable person on a jury would see that that officer's life was in danger and
[53:05.620 --> 53:07.700]  he had no choice but to act.
[53:07.700 --> 53:12.500]  Anybody saying that he had time to shoot the tires out is utterly ridiculous.
[53:12.500 --> 53:14.500]  What's your problem?
[53:14.500 --> 53:17.500]  Sir, okay, how's it going?
[53:17.500 --> 53:19.500]  Fine, thank you.
[53:19.500 --> 53:22.500]  Just obey your command, obey.
[53:22.740 --> 53:25.740]  Sir?
[53:35.740 --> 53:37.340]  Show us your hands.
[53:37.340 --> 53:38.340]  Obey our commands.
[53:38.340 --> 53:39.340]  That's it.
[53:39.340 --> 53:40.340]  That's what they want you to know.
[53:40.340 --> 53:42.780]  Grant, I think you're pathetic.
[53:42.780 --> 53:45.420]  That is really shameful.
[53:45.420 --> 53:46.660]  So I'm a slave now, right?
[53:46.660 --> 53:51.180]  I have to do whatever the overseers on the plantation tell me or they're entitled to
[53:51.180 --> 53:52.180]  kill me.
[53:52.860 --> 53:54.860]  Do you know where we're at now?
[53:54.860 --> 53:58.860]  Show your hands, obey the commands.
[53:58.860 --> 54:06.860]  Well, I guess the question is, do the police have any rules that they have to obey?
[54:06.860 --> 54:08.740]  I guess not, right?
[54:08.740 --> 54:10.820]  Not according to Grant Snitchfield.
[54:10.820 --> 54:13.220]  There's no rules that they have to obey.
[54:13.260 --> 54:22.260]  Well, Megan Bashan put up the slow-mo video that I showed you before and said, I'm going
[54:22.260 --> 54:28.260]  to post this a thousand times as the Democrats try to erase what we can all see with our
[54:28.260 --> 54:29.260]  eyes.
[54:29.260 --> 54:33.260]  Officers instructing a driver to exit the car and the driver accelerating straight at
[54:33.260 --> 54:35.260]  an officer.
[54:35.260 --> 54:41.300]  Whether it's slots or live dealers, SpinQuest.com has the fun and action you're looking for

[55:34.140 --> 55:35.140]  Play responsibly.
[55:35.140 --> 55:38.140]  Again, the fact that she has to say that this is the Democrats doing it.
[55:39.060 --> 55:48.060]  There is a strong Hegelian blindness that is going on on both sides.
[55:48.060 --> 55:52.060]  A lot of people are opposing it simply because they're Democrats.
[55:52.060 --> 55:57.060]  This is a tribal perspective that people are taking.
[55:57.060 --> 56:04.060]  But I don't share their position on immigration control.
[56:04.980 --> 56:07.980]  But I'm concerned about an out of control police.
[56:07.980 --> 56:10.980]  And police that are never held accountable for these things.
[56:10.980 --> 56:13.980]  For police that are doing stupid things.
[56:13.980 --> 56:18.980]  That even other police say are stupid and reckless and dangerous things to do.
[56:18.980 --> 56:24.980]  And just as we saw with this individual, the acceleration happened after she was killed.
[56:24.980 --> 56:29.980]  Because as the New York police said, if you actually are able to shoot somebody and you
[56:30.900 --> 56:37.460]  and injure other officers or innocent bystanders, if you actually do shoot the person, they're
[56:37.460 --> 56:43.380]  just as likely to put their foot on the accelerator as they are on the brake and you have a runaway
[56:43.380 --> 56:47.380]  unguided missile, which is what that car turned into.
[56:47.380 --> 56:53.580]  And so I said please do share this over and over again because your video shows the wheel
[56:53.580 --> 56:59.300]  turned away from him and shows him recklessly firing into the side of the car that he is
[56:59.300 --> 57:01.860]  not in danger from.
[57:01.860 --> 57:07.180]  And again, all the stuff that I just said about how this is a very bad policy for the
[57:07.180 --> 57:08.860]  police to follow.
[57:08.860 --> 57:10.100]  Please keep posting this video.
[57:10.100 --> 57:15.900]  People need to see with their eyes, not with the lies that are being told about what they're
[57:15.900 --> 57:18.180]  actually seeing.
[57:18.180 --> 57:24.380]  Take a look at this instead of, listen to my analysis, take a look at it and make up
[57:24.380 --> 57:25.380]  your own mind.
[57:25.460 --> 57:32.380]  Ask yourself, do we really want to have unrestrained, federalized police?
[57:32.380 --> 57:37.900]  I don't think so because when we look at what they're doing elsewhere, look at this.
[57:37.900 --> 57:38.900]  This is at the memorial.
[57:38.900 --> 57:42.420]  Look at this guy deliberately provoking them.
[57:42.420 --> 57:43.420]  This fat pig.
[57:43.420 --> 57:45.500]  Do you know what that is for?
[57:45.500 --> 57:46.500]  What is that for?
[57:46.500 --> 57:47.500]  What is that for?
[57:47.500 --> 57:48.500]  What is that for?
[57:48.500 --> 57:49.500]  What is that for?
[57:49.500 --> 57:50.500]  You're going to push me?
[57:50.500 --> 57:51.500]  What is that for?
[57:51.500 --> 57:52.500]  What was that for?
[57:52.500 --> 57:53.500]  You don't give a...
[57:53.500 --> 57:54.500]  This is why we're here.
[57:54.620 --> 57:55.620]  Back up.
[57:55.620 --> 57:56.620]  This is why we're here.
[57:56.620 --> 57:57.620]  Back up.
[57:57.620 --> 57:58.620]  Let's go.
[57:58.620 --> 57:59.620]  What's her name?
[57:59.620 --> 58:00.620]  Renee Good?
[58:00.620 --> 58:01.620]  Back up.
[58:01.620 --> 58:02.620]  And you...
[58:02.620 --> 58:03.620]  That's a memorial to her.
[58:03.620 --> 58:05.620]  That's a memorial to her.
[58:05.620 --> 58:08.740]  Yeah, just obey.
[58:08.740 --> 58:09.740]  Just obey.
[58:09.740 --> 58:10.740]  That's right.
[58:10.740 --> 58:14.820]  You know, that cop goes over there and starts kicking through the memorial.
[58:14.820 --> 58:19.220]  At the end of the day, it was completely avoidable if she would have simply followed the commands
[58:19.220 --> 58:20.820]  of the ICE agents.
[58:20.820 --> 58:26.460]  So what really is more disturbing to me is Governor Walz's comments about using the National
[58:26.460 --> 58:30.300]  Guard to keep the federal government ICE agents out of his state.
[58:30.300 --> 58:34.820]  He has now gone full Jefferson Davis and that's what I would call civil war.
[58:34.820 --> 58:38.220]  Yeah, just obey.
[58:38.220 --> 58:40.340]  And everybody needs to obey the federal government.
[58:40.340 --> 58:42.740]  We need to have federalized police.
[58:42.740 --> 58:44.780]  We don't want to have any state powers.
[58:44.780 --> 58:49.420]  All powers need to be concentrated in Washington according to that congressman there.
[58:49.580 --> 58:51.380]  You should just do as you're told.
[58:51.380 --> 58:58.060]  When you look at that cop, he was deliberately trying to provoke those people, coming over
[58:58.060 --> 59:04.700]  like a schoolyard bully and bumping into the guy and saying, back up, back up, back up.
[59:04.700 --> 59:08.380]  Just hoping that the guy would push back.
[59:08.380 --> 59:12.700]  This is the kind of people that they are hiring for the federal police.
[59:12.700 --> 59:16.300]  Yeah, don't question authority.
[59:16.300 --> 59:17.300]  Just watch TV.
[59:17.300 --> 59:23.220]  What happened, it was our ICE officers were out in enforcement action.
[59:23.220 --> 59:26.740]  They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis.
[59:26.740 --> 59:30.840]  They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding
[59:30.840 --> 59:35.980]  them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle.
[59:35.980 --> 59:36.980]  What's your problem?
[59:36.980 --> 59:37.980]  Sir, okay.
[59:37.980 --> 59:38.980]  How's it going?
[59:38.980 --> 59:39.980]  Thank you.
[59:39.980 --> 59:40.980]  Thank you, sir.
[59:40.980 --> 59:55.580]  Yeah, this is a bigger issue, folks, than the immigration policy.
[59:55.580 --> 01:00:01.940]  This is a bigger issue than the fact that this woman apparently had a wife now, that
[01:00:01.940 --> 01:00:03.900]  she was part of the LGBT.
[01:00:03.900 --> 01:00:06.220]  That's not the issue here.
[01:00:06.220 --> 01:00:08.540]  This is a bigger issue than that.
[01:00:08.540 --> 01:00:12.900]  It's not about her identity politics, it's not about your identity politics, it's not
[01:00:12.900 --> 01:00:14.380]  about politics in general.
[01:00:14.380 --> 01:00:21.660]  This is about the unrestrained use of force and cheering for that.
[01:00:21.660 --> 01:00:26.940]  It's absolutely disgusting to see what's going on in this country and this kind of bullying
[01:00:26.940 --> 01:00:29.900]  that you saw with that cop, again, you know.
[01:00:29.900 --> 01:00:31.900]  That's what you're doing?
[01:00:31.900 --> 01:00:32.900]  What?
[01:00:32.900 --> 01:00:33.900]  What?
[01:00:33.900 --> 01:00:34.900]  What?
[01:00:34.900 --> 01:00:37.300]  Do you know what that is for?
[01:00:37.300 --> 01:00:38.300]  What is that for?
[01:00:39.060 --> 01:00:40.060]  Why does he have to back up?
[01:00:40.060 --> 01:00:41.060]  What is that for?
[01:00:41.060 --> 01:00:42.060]  You're going to push me?
[01:00:42.060 --> 01:00:43.060]  What is that for?
[01:00:43.060 --> 01:00:44.060]  What was that for?
[01:00:44.060 --> 01:00:46.060]  You don't give a f*** about her?
[01:00:46.060 --> 01:00:47.060]  Yeah, obey me.
[01:00:47.060 --> 01:00:48.060]  Obey me.
[01:00:48.060 --> 01:00:49.980]  Show me your hands and obey me.
[01:00:49.980 --> 01:00:51.180]  That's what you're being sold.
[01:00:51.180 --> 01:00:56.260]  This is like, it's like a kind of brainwashing from conservative media.
[01:00:56.260 --> 01:00:57.940]  People like Grant Snitchfield.
[01:00:57.940 --> 01:00:58.940]  So forth.
[01:00:58.940 --> 01:00:59.940]  Yeah.
[01:00:59.940 --> 01:01:07.060]  As a matter of fact, later on, and they live, you see the massive raid of the police.
[01:01:07.060 --> 01:01:09.180]  This isn't all that much different than what we're seeing now.
[01:01:09.180 --> 01:01:16.380]  All these dystopian movies of the 1980s now happening in real life.
[01:01:16.380 --> 01:01:18.540]  Because this is what it looks like in real life.
[01:01:18.540 --> 01:01:22.580]  Looking at live pictures from our reporters on the ground in St. Paul, Ryan Young, you
[01:01:22.580 --> 01:01:24.500]  can see him in the camera image right there.
[01:01:24.500 --> 01:01:29.860]  But this is a confrontation and seems to be flaring up once again of federal law enforcement
[01:01:29.860 --> 01:01:35.380]  officers confronting with protesters who had been outside a facility blocking Ryan
[01:01:35.620 --> 01:01:39.700]  Young reports and some point blocking the movement of cars.
[01:01:39.700 --> 01:01:40.700]  Let me.
[01:01:40.700 --> 01:01:41.700]  Pepper balls.
[01:01:41.700 --> 01:01:43.020]  You could hang on with me just one second.
[01:01:43.020 --> 01:01:44.740]  I want to check in with Ryan Young.
[01:01:44.740 --> 01:01:45.740]  Ryan, what's the latest?
[01:01:48.740 --> 01:01:52.540]  So they identified somebody they wanted in this crowd.
[01:01:52.540 --> 01:01:54.580]  They aggressively went after them.
[01:01:54.580 --> 01:01:55.660]  They pushed their way in.
[01:01:55.660 --> 01:02:00.100]  Now they're shooting pepper balls toward the crowd to keep everyone back.
[01:02:00.100 --> 01:02:04.260]  We don't know why they decided to go after this gentleman.
[01:02:04.380 --> 01:02:09.940]  There was a bunch of people standing still and then all of a sudden they ran in and tried
[01:02:09.940 --> 01:02:11.180]  to grab him.
[01:02:11.180 --> 01:02:15.660]  This created a situation as we move a little closer here where they're putting the handcuffs
[01:02:15.660 --> 01:02:17.180]  on this guy right here.
[01:02:17.180 --> 01:02:25.500]  Now this guy is trying to get involved, so they're going to take him down as we speak.
[01:02:25.500 --> 01:02:29.380]  The pepper balls spray is very strong.
[01:02:29.380 --> 01:02:33.820]  They use that to make sure that the crowd stays back.
[01:02:34.380 --> 01:02:39.420]  One of the problems that we see is that some of the protesters are standing behind the
[01:02:39.420 --> 01:02:40.420]  media members.
[01:02:40.420 --> 01:02:47.260]  You see how upset people are getting and you see how angry folks are.
[01:02:47.260 --> 01:02:52.180]  This crowd is on the edge when it comes to the tactics that are being used.
[01:02:52.180 --> 01:02:57.140]  We are not sure why they decided to identify this man as someone they needed to take into
[01:02:57.140 --> 01:03:01.860]  custody, but obviously this is the second person that they have gone after into this
[01:03:01.860 --> 01:03:02.860]  crowd.
[01:03:02.900 --> 01:03:08.860]  There were a lot of women who got pushed down to the ground, which made more of the men
[01:03:08.860 --> 01:03:11.280]  in the crowd get upset and push back.
[01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:17.740]  We saw a physical confrontation where a man put two hands and shoved one of the agents
[01:03:17.740 --> 01:03:19.380]  in the chest.
[01:03:19.380 --> 01:03:25.060]  That made the agents respond with more force.
[01:03:25.060 --> 01:03:28.700]  As you can hear the crowd now saying, shame.
[01:03:28.700 --> 01:03:33.900]  At least they stopped shooting pepper balls at this point, which really, oh, they're taking
[01:03:33.900 --> 01:03:35.500]  this man away right now.
[01:03:35.500 --> 01:03:41.380]  So as you see this, they've actually asked for the, oh, now they're pushing again.
[01:03:41.380 --> 01:03:43.820]  This is really, oh, they're firing more pepper balls.
[01:03:43.820 --> 01:03:47.180]  So as you see that smoke coming back our direction, I got you Effie.
[01:03:47.180 --> 01:03:51.660]  I have my arm around our photographer here because this crowd is shifting on this ice.
[01:03:51.660 --> 01:03:55.180]  There's a lot of pushing and shoving and people are very angry.
[01:03:55.180 --> 01:03:57.900]  We have some people opening their jackets and saying...
[01:03:57.940 --> 01:04:01.940]  Are you in Texas and are you tired of not being able to play blackjack roulette and
[01:04:01.940 --> 01:04:02.940]  even craps?
[01:04:02.940 --> 01:04:03.940]  Well, guess what?
[01:04:03.940 --> 01:04:04.940]  I got the solution for you.

[01:05:39.540 --> 01:05:45.140]  There's a lot we don't know about the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, but in the chaotic aftermath
[01:05:45.140 --> 01:05:48.460]  of the shooting, one thing becomes immediately clear.
[01:05:48.460 --> 01:05:52.540]  The Trump administration was lying about what happened.
[01:05:52.580 --> 01:05:57.420]  And you know, this is really kind of a hallmark of government, isn't it?
[01:05:57.420 --> 01:05:58.420]  Look at this clip.
[01:05:58.420 --> 01:06:01.460]  This is kind of funny because it's not about a life or death thing.
[01:06:01.460 --> 01:06:07.860]  This is a Canadian official who is talking about how efficiently everything is operating.
[01:06:07.860 --> 01:06:14.260]  And as she's speaking, the cameraman slowly pans up to the board that shows all the delayed
[01:06:14.260 --> 01:06:15.260]  and canceled flights.
[01:06:15.260 --> 01:06:22.260]  Is there any sort of work being done too with the airlines in order to get flights actually
[01:06:22.260 --> 01:06:24.260]  on time or not delayed as much?
[01:06:24.260 --> 01:06:25.860]  Just curious if there's any work happening.
[01:06:25.860 --> 01:06:26.860]  Yes.
[01:06:26.860 --> 01:06:31.020]  So we've seen almost a doubling in terms of improvement on on time performance since last
[01:06:31.020 --> 01:06:32.020]  year.
[01:06:32.020 --> 01:06:36.460]  That is a reflection of all the work that we've done across the ecosystem together with
[01:06:36.460 --> 01:06:37.460]  our partner.
[01:06:37.460 --> 01:06:40.620]  Delayed, delayed, canceled, delayed, delayed, delayed.
[01:06:40.620 --> 01:06:41.620]  There's one that's on time.
[01:06:41.620 --> 01:06:42.620]  Only one.
[01:06:42.620 --> 01:06:43.620]  Look at this.
[01:06:43.620 --> 01:06:47.940]  And we see the great results that have come from that.
[01:06:47.940 --> 01:06:49.820]  Yeah, the great results that have come from that.
[01:06:49.820 --> 01:06:52.020]  They'll tell you whatever they want to tell you.
[01:06:52.020 --> 01:06:56.940]  Shameful what they do, but they're shameless about it.
[01:06:56.940 --> 01:07:02.140]  So again, Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement, rioters began
[01:07:02.140 --> 01:07:08.500]  blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting
[01:07:08.500 --> 01:07:13.740]  to run over our law enforcement officers and attempt to kill them in an act of domestic
[01:07:13.740 --> 01:07:15.340]  terrorism.
[01:07:15.340 --> 01:07:19.340]  Kristi Noem added more details out of her imagination.
[01:07:19.340 --> 01:07:23.700]  They were stuck in the snow, which you've seen this over and over again, you know, that's
[01:07:23.700 --> 01:07:25.700]  not the truth.
[01:07:25.700 --> 01:07:31.020]  Kristi Noem and the White House advisor Stephen Miller also described the incident as domestic
[01:07:31.020 --> 01:07:32.020]  terrorism.
[01:07:32.020 --> 01:07:35.540]  This is the same thing that Biden did with the J-6 protesters.
[01:07:35.540 --> 01:07:37.100]  Remember that?
[01:07:37.100 --> 01:07:43.320]  Yeah, one man's freedom fighters and other man's terrorist.
[01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:49.800]  One person's free speech is a hate speech for the other people that is causing attacks
[01:07:49.800 --> 01:07:53.400]  on our beloved ICE officers.
[01:07:53.400 --> 01:07:59.880]  Videos of the incident taken by the bystanders show almost every aspect of McLaughlin's statement
[01:07:59.880 --> 01:08:01.440]  to be false.
[01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:08.040]  As a matter of fact, every detail of Kristi Noem and every detail of Donald Trump was
[01:08:08.040 --> 01:08:11.000]  a full on lie.
[01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:18.640]  Not struck, not stuck in snow and not run over, not taken to the hospital.
[01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:23.480]  And she was shot from the side when he was not threatened.
[01:08:23.480 --> 01:08:27.040]  The vehicle appears to be driving away from the armed federal agents, not toward them.
[01:08:27.040 --> 01:08:28.240]  No one was run over.
[01:08:28.240 --> 01:08:32.660]  There is no evidence that terrorism of any kind was involved.
[01:08:32.660 --> 01:08:37.060]  After the shooting, federal agents then reportedly prevented a bystander who identified himself
[01:08:37.140 --> 01:08:41.500]  as a physician from tending to her.
[01:08:41.500 --> 01:08:46.540]  They're already trying to spend this as an action of self-defense, said the Minneapolis
[01:08:46.540 --> 01:08:48.100]  mayor.
[01:08:48.100 --> 01:08:53.580]  And so he is attacked because, again, he is a leftist and most of these people who are
[01:08:53.580 --> 01:09:01.980]  giving you the news want to push you into one side or the other of this Hegelian dialectic.
[01:09:01.980 --> 01:09:05.980]  And we have the video of the guy saying that he's a physician.
[01:09:05.980 --> 01:09:07.340]  Yes, I played that yesterday.
[01:09:07.340 --> 01:09:08.740]  Let me play that again here.
[01:09:08.740 --> 01:09:09.740]  Here it is.
[01:09:09.740 --> 01:09:10.740]  Can I go check a pole?
[01:09:10.740 --> 01:09:11.740]  No!
[01:09:11.740 --> 01:09:12.740]  Back up!
[01:09:12.740 --> 01:09:13.740]  Now!
[01:09:13.740 --> 01:09:14.740]  I'm a physician!
[01:09:14.740 --> 01:09:15.740]  I don't care!
[01:09:15.740 --> 01:09:16.740]  Listen, we understand.
[01:09:16.740 --> 01:09:17.740]  We got EMS coming.
[01:09:17.740 --> 01:09:18.740]  I get it.
[01:09:18.740 --> 01:09:19.740]  Just give us a second.
[01:09:19.740 --> 01:09:20.740]  We have medics on feed.
[01:09:20.740 --> 01:09:21.740]  We have our own medics.
[01:09:21.740 --> 01:09:22.740]  Where are they?
[01:09:22.740 --> 01:09:23.740]  Where are they?
[01:09:23.740 --> 01:09:29.300]  Back up or I'm going to kill you.
[01:09:29.300 --> 01:09:32.220]  Kristi Noem threatens to send more ICE agents to Minneapolis.
[01:09:32.220 --> 01:09:35.580]  She's going to double down on this.
[01:09:35.580 --> 01:09:36.780]  Double down on the chaos.
[01:09:36.780 --> 01:09:38.940]  Double down on the confrontation.
[01:09:38.940 --> 01:09:41.820]  Double down on the lies.
[01:09:41.820 --> 01:09:45.780]  During her press conference, Noem revealed that she's not opposed to sending in more
[01:09:45.780 --> 01:09:48.980]  ICE agents to Minneapolis if needed.
[01:09:48.980 --> 01:09:52.140]  The reporter asked her, said, in Minneapolis yesterday, you said that there was going to
[01:09:52.140 --> 01:09:54.660]  be a surge there.
[01:09:54.660 --> 01:09:59.340]  And it would continue without directly saying if we could expect a surge in civil deportation
[01:09:59.340 --> 01:10:01.460]  enforcement.
[01:10:01.460 --> 01:10:05.060]  Can you reveal what a surge is?
[01:10:05.220 --> 01:10:06.700]  Noem declined to answer.
[01:10:06.700 --> 01:10:08.220]  Said, I can't tell you.
[01:10:08.220 --> 01:10:10.780]  I put people in jeopardy, right?
[01:10:10.780 --> 01:10:15.540]  And this is even worse than the surge in Afghanistan.
[01:10:15.540 --> 01:10:18.740]  That was not effective, if you remember.
[01:10:18.740 --> 01:10:20.660]  We had that wonderful victory in Afghanistan.
[01:10:20.660 --> 01:10:22.340]  I don't think so.
[01:10:22.340 --> 01:10:24.700]  But at least they were telling people it was going to be a surge.
[01:10:24.700 --> 01:10:27.060]  And she says, well, I can't tell you.
[01:10:27.060 --> 01:10:29.140]  Follow-up question was asked.
[01:10:29.140 --> 01:10:33.220]  The reporter's search prompted Noem to finally respond, well, we've got thousands of officers
[01:10:33.220 --> 01:10:37.620]  there, and I'm not opposed to sending more.
[01:10:37.620 --> 01:10:41.740]  But I can't tell you anything about the surge.
[01:10:41.740 --> 01:10:46.940]  Any information I give you might put agents at risk.
[01:10:46.940 --> 01:10:51.260]  Secret agents, secret agendas, secret deployments.
[01:10:51.260 --> 01:10:53.420]  We don't have any say-so in this.
[01:10:53.420 --> 01:10:55.780]  State governments don't have any say-so in it.
[01:10:55.780 --> 01:10:58.980]  Do you see the problem with this?
[01:10:58.980 --> 01:11:01.300]  The federalization of this?
[01:11:01.300 --> 01:11:06.700]  The concentration of power in Washington, everything that Trump is doing is about making
[01:11:06.700 --> 01:11:10.940]  government more powerful, especially the federal government.
[01:11:10.940 --> 01:11:17.420]  And so Nancy Mace then gets on with Maria Bartiromo.
[01:11:17.420 --> 01:11:21.840]  Nancy Mace has got her own hallucinations that she is talking about.
[01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:25.740]  She says that the ICE agent was limping.
[01:11:25.740 --> 01:11:29.180]  No, he wasn't, actually.
[01:11:29.180 --> 01:11:32.500]  When you look at it, you can see the murderer walking away.
[01:11:32.500 --> 01:11:35.420]  Yeah, he's limping there, right?
[01:11:35.420 --> 01:11:36.420]  Limping?
[01:11:36.420 --> 01:11:39.020]  I think he's doing just fine.
[01:11:39.020 --> 01:11:43.740]  Yeah, just keep lying.
[01:11:43.740 --> 01:11:46.700]  Mace's assertion surprised Bartiromo, who said, oh.
[01:11:46.700 --> 01:11:51.140]  She says, yeah, Mace had said, it appears the ICE agent was struck by the car in the
[01:11:51.140 --> 01:11:57.540]  first video that you just showed, and you can see him limping away as he fired shots.
[01:11:57.660 --> 01:12:01.700]  No, no, didn't happen.
[01:12:01.700 --> 01:12:05.180]  These people think that you're not going to believe your lying eyes.
[01:12:05.180 --> 01:12:08.740]  You'll believe their lying lips, right?
[01:12:08.740 --> 01:12:13.940]  The video shows the agent in question cautiously taking a couple of steps before seemingly
[01:12:13.940 --> 01:12:18.700]  walking without any trouble forward toward the van.
[01:12:18.700 --> 01:12:20.140]  And why would he take some precaution?
[01:12:20.140 --> 01:12:22.620]  Well, because they are standing on ICE.
[01:12:22.620 --> 01:12:27.500]  And when you see that video before, you see that one of the guys that's away from the
[01:12:27.500 --> 01:12:32.220]  van and the shooting and all the rest of the stuff had fallen down on the ICE.
[01:12:32.220 --> 01:12:36.860]  So yeah, he's going to walk a little bit cautiously, but he's not having any problems walking.
[01:12:36.860 --> 01:12:38.300]  He wasn't even knocked down.
[01:12:38.300 --> 01:12:41.500]  That's how much of a threat this whole thing was.
[01:12:41.500 --> 01:12:42.500]  This is what happens.
[01:12:42.500 --> 01:12:44.740]  He wasn't knocked down on the icy surface.
[01:12:44.740 --> 01:12:46.900]  That's how hard he was hit by the car.
[01:12:46.900 --> 01:12:47.980]  Yeah, exactly.
[01:12:47.980 --> 01:12:48.980]  On ICE.
[01:12:48.980 --> 01:12:52.540]  Yeah, he keeps his footing even on ICE.
[01:12:52.540 --> 01:12:56.420]  This is what happens when you've got Democrats and people on the left vilifying and dehumanizing
[01:12:56.540 --> 01:13:04.540]  our cops, our law enforcement, our ICE agents, says Nancy Mace, calling them Nazis and fascists.
[01:13:04.540 --> 01:13:08.240]  Well, this isn't rhetorical insults anymore, folks.
[01:13:08.240 --> 01:13:10.060]  This is literally true.
[01:13:10.060 --> 01:13:13.620]  They literally are Nazis and fascists.
[01:13:13.620 --> 01:13:16.300]  And she is part of it.
[01:13:16.300 --> 01:13:17.300]  It's just amazing.
[01:13:17.300 --> 01:13:20.980]  Doesn't even get knocked off his feet on the ice.
[01:13:20.980 --> 01:13:21.980]  What's up, baby?
[01:13:22.980 --> 01:13:28.220]  I'm here to tell you that SpinQuest.com is giving out free sweet coins.

[01:13:41.900 --> 01:13:42.900]  baby.
[01:13:42.900 --> 01:13:43.900]  SpinQuest.com.
[01:13:43.900 --> 01:13:46.700]  SpinQuest is a free to play social casino.
[01:13:46.700 --> 01:13:47.700]  Voidware prohibited.

[01:14:17.700 --> 01:14:25.660]  Well, when Trump was shown the video with some reporters from the New York Times and
[01:14:25.660 --> 01:14:34.100]  the Oval Office, he was saying that the woman who was shot ran over the ICE agent.
[01:14:34.100 --> 01:14:38.700]  And they said, well, no, no, she didn't actually, you know, run over him.
[01:14:38.700 --> 01:14:44.140]  And so he says to his assistant, Natalie Harper, he says, go get the video.
[01:14:44.140 --> 01:14:47.060]  And they got the video and they played it there.
[01:14:47.060 --> 01:14:53.580]  And Trump's response was, well, the way I look at it while he's watching it.
[01:14:53.580 --> 01:14:55.980]  And then he finally says, well, it's a terrible scene.
[01:14:55.980 --> 01:14:56.980]  I think it's horrible to watch.
[01:14:56.980 --> 01:14:57.980]  No, I hate to see it.
[01:14:57.980 --> 01:15:03.700]  And he changed the subject to immigration policy.
[01:15:03.700 --> 01:15:11.020]  I have his comment in his tweet on Truth Social with his voice reading it out.
[01:15:11.020 --> 01:15:12.020]  I can play it.
[01:15:12.020 --> 01:15:13.020]  Go ahead and play that.
[01:15:13.020 --> 01:15:14.020]  Yeah.
[01:15:14.900 --> 01:15:19.860]  I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
[01:15:19.860 --> 01:15:22.260]  It is a horrible thing to watch.
[01:15:22.260 --> 01:15:26.780]  The woman screaming was obviously a professional agitator and the woman driving the car was
[01:15:26.780 --> 01:15:31.920]  very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully and viciously
[01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:36.420]  ran over the ICE officer who seems to have shot her in self-defense.
[01:15:36.420 --> 01:15:39.860]  Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive but is now recovering
[01:15:39.860 --> 01:15:40.980]  in the hospital.
[01:15:40.980 --> 01:15:45.460]  The situation is being studied in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening
[01:15:45.460 --> 01:15:49.340]  is because the radical left is threatening, assaulting and targeting our law enforcement
[01:15:49.340 --> 01:15:51.460]  officers and ICE agents on a daily basis.
[01:15:51.460 --> 01:15:55.060]  They are just trying to do the job of making America safe.
[01:15:55.060 --> 01:15:59.060]  We need to stand by and protect our law enforcement officers from this radical left movement of
[01:15:59.060 --> 01:16:00.060]  violence and hate.
[01:16:00.060 --> 01:16:07.020]  Let me tell you, the, uh, Soros is dangerous and the open borders are dangerous.
[01:16:07.020 --> 01:16:10.200]  So is Trump and his militarized police.
[01:16:10.200 --> 01:16:12.680]  And it is problem solution.
[01:16:12.680 --> 01:16:15.560]  This whole thing has been a Trojan horse.
[01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:20.600]  J.D. Vance insists that the critics are gaslighting you when it's actually the other way around.
[01:16:20.600 --> 01:16:22.960]  It's authoritarian gaslighting that's going on.
[01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:27.880]  Uh, so the video of the ICE shooting shows that he's the one that's doing the gaslighting
[01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:28.880]  is the headline.
[01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:35.640]  J.D. Vance has described the shooting as clear self-defense, has accused critics of gaslighting.
[01:16:35.640 --> 01:16:41.120]  His argument requires the public to disregard what the video documents and a post pushing
[01:16:41.120 --> 01:16:48.620]  back on legal criticism of the ICE agents actions, um, Vance framed the encounter and
[01:16:48.620 --> 01:16:49.620]  absolute terms.
[01:16:49.620 --> 01:16:52.240]  He said the gaslighting is off the chart.
[01:16:52.240 --> 01:16:54.780]  It is not in the way that he says though.
[01:16:54.780 --> 01:16:59.220]  The officer was defending his life against a deranged leftist who tried to run him over.
[01:16:59.220 --> 01:17:01.100]  The guy was doing his job.
[01:17:01.100 --> 01:17:04.440]  His job is to kill us, right?
[01:17:04.440 --> 01:17:10.280]  These are the people, folks, that locked us down five years ago, that put out the bio-weapon
[01:17:10.280 --> 01:17:13.640]  that literally killed millions of people.
[01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:16.280]  You're going to side with them?
[01:17:16.280 --> 01:17:19.000]  She tried to stop him from doing his job.
[01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:23.120]  Uh, so the victim was an ideological enemy.
[01:17:23.120 --> 01:17:24.600]  That's the reality here, right?
[01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:28.880]  And that's the way everybody is, is focused on this and put everybody in your different
[01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:34.840]  camps and if you agree with them on policy, then they can do whatever they want.
[01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:37.720]  If you disagree with them, they deserve to die.
[01:17:37.720 --> 01:17:38.920]  They're subhuman.
[01:17:38.920 --> 01:17:44.920]  They need to be put in the words of Infowars, need to be put down like one of Christian
[01:17:44.920 --> 01:17:46.480]  Ohm's dogs.
[01:17:46.480 --> 01:17:51.760]  The other crazy thing is they say he was doing his job, but I haven't heard anyone claiming
[01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:56.440]  that there were any illegal aliens there that were being arrested.
[01:17:56.440 --> 01:18:00.720]  He was out there just issuing random orders to American citizens.
[01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:01.720]  Is that his job?
[01:18:01.720 --> 01:18:06.560]  Is just to push people around and that's why she was shot because she didn't obey these
[01:18:06.560 --> 01:18:13.200]  random orders from this random guy that wasn't doing anything to arrest illegals.
[01:18:13.200 --> 01:18:15.840]  Yeah, that's right.
[01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:19.280]  That's the dog that didn't bark, Lance, you're exactly right.
[01:18:19.280 --> 01:18:23.040]  Where are all the illegal aliens that these people are swarming around to get?
[01:18:23.040 --> 01:18:26.160]  That's all been lost in all of this, right?
[01:18:26.160 --> 01:18:31.240]  So a New York Times analysis of bystander shot video footage includes recordings from
[01:18:31.240 --> 01:18:33.360]  multiple angles.
[01:18:33.360 --> 01:18:37.840]  The footage shows federal agents approaching her Honda pilot attempting to open the driver's
[01:18:37.840 --> 01:18:43.480]  side door, ordering her to exit as an agent pulls the door handle, here I'll do this
[01:18:43.480 --> 01:18:49.360]  as I'm reading it, pulls the door handle, the vehicle reverses, then moves forward while
[01:18:49.360 --> 01:18:53.720]  turning sharply to the right away from the officer.
[01:18:53.760 --> 01:18:57.900]  The sequence establishes the physical reality of the encounter.
[01:18:57.900 --> 01:19:02.120]  The officer approaches the vehicle, the driver reverses, the car moves forward with a rightward
[01:19:02.120 --> 01:19:08.400]  turn, the officer then fires three shots at close range at the vehicle on the side of
[01:19:08.400 --> 01:19:11.840]  the vehicle as it is moving past him.
[01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:19.000]  The car continues forward and then crashes because he's just shot her point blank.
[01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:24.760]  The Times video analysis shows the masked ICE agent was clearly not in the path of the
[01:19:24.760 --> 01:19:29.240]  SUV when he fires three deadly shots.
[01:19:29.240 --> 01:19:34.220]  The video shows a driver attempting to leave and an officer who avoids harm by moving out
[01:19:34.220 --> 01:19:36.800]  of the way before firing.
[01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:41.140]  That sequence undermines the self-defense claim.
[01:19:41.140 --> 01:19:46.680]  Deadly force is justified only when it is necessary to stop an imminent threat and no
[01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:49.400]  reasonable alternative exists.
[01:19:49.400 --> 01:19:55.560]  In this encounter, safety is achieved before the trigger is pulled, distance already exists
[01:19:55.560 --> 01:20:01.000]  at the moment the officer fires, he's at the side of the car.
[01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:07.160]  Even border czar Tom Homan distanced himself from Homeland Security's initial statement
[01:20:07.160 --> 01:20:09.000]  blaming the victim.
[01:20:09.000 --> 01:20:13.960]  When pressed by the New York Times after viewing the video, Trump sidestepped any follow-up
[01:20:14.080 --> 01:20:15.080]  questions.
[01:20:15.080 --> 01:20:19.680]  A notable departure for a figure known for doubling down.
[01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:21.440]  Vance has treated the shooting as resolved.
[01:20:21.440 --> 01:20:24.840]  He has labeled Good a deranged leftist.
[01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:27.040]  He's described the killing as justified.
[01:20:27.040 --> 01:20:32.440]  He has dismissed any disagreement as dishonest.
[01:20:32.440 --> 01:20:41.080]  And so some people have responded to him calling him a soulless liar.
[01:20:41.080 --> 01:20:46.200]  J.D. Vance is hit with fury for a disturbingly un-American shooting response.
[01:20:46.200 --> 01:20:55.520]  Conservative author Sohrab Amari put up a video that he said showed ICE was in the right
[01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:58.880]  when an agent shot a woman in the face at point-blank range when she was trying to turn
[01:20:58.880 --> 01:21:05.080]  her car away from him to leave the scene, sharing an obscured faraway angle.
[01:21:05.080 --> 01:21:10.020]  That's the one that I did with the slow motion thing.
[01:21:10.660 --> 01:21:14.300]  This is the one that they always go to because this is the one that you really can't see
[01:21:14.300 --> 01:21:16.900]  very well what is happening with it.
[01:21:16.900 --> 01:21:20.420]  And so they're free to tell you what to see.
[01:21:20.420 --> 01:21:23.340]  And that's the reality of that.
[01:21:23.340 --> 01:21:28.500]  So an obscured faraway angle, and he says, okay, this angle settles it.
[01:21:28.500 --> 01:21:30.100]  Well, it doesn't settle it.
[01:21:30.100 --> 01:21:32.020]  The other ones do.
[01:21:32.020 --> 01:21:36.200]  You can see much better what is happening in the other angles.
[01:21:36.200 --> 01:21:42.800]  So Vance said, you can accept that this woman's death is a tragedy while acknowledging that
[01:21:42.800 --> 01:21:46.320]  it's a tragedy of her own making.
[01:21:46.320 --> 01:21:50.880]  Don't illegally interfere with law enforcement operations and try to run over our officers
[01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:52.500]  with your car.
[01:21:52.500 --> 01:21:55.160]  It's really just that simple, right?
[01:21:55.160 --> 01:22:01.880]  As Grant Snitchfield said, show us your hands, obey our commands, right?
[01:22:01.880 --> 01:22:02.880]  Yeah.
[01:22:03.040 --> 01:22:08.440]  I'd rather die on my feet than on my knees.
[01:22:08.440 --> 01:22:13.400]  Congressman Seth Moulton replied and said, J.D. Vance is lying.
[01:22:13.400 --> 01:22:18.520]  She wasn't interfering with law enforcement, and this wasn't a tragedy of her own making.
[01:22:18.520 --> 01:22:20.000]  Every video shows it.
[01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:27.680]  Blaming a murdered woman to shield federal officers is grotesque and disturbingly un-American.
[01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:32.240]  We will not ignore what we can see with our own eyes.
[01:22:32.480 --> 01:22:36.960]  Conservative strategist Tim Miller said, among the people who think assassination is the
[01:22:36.960 --> 01:22:44.480]  appropriate remedy for not listening to law enforcement, you can include the vice president.
[01:22:44.480 --> 01:22:51.160]  And then Greg Sargent said, he fired several shots from the side.
[01:22:51.160 --> 01:22:53.960]  This is exactly what I said yesterday.
[01:22:53.960 --> 01:23:00.400]  He fired several shots from the side into the window at near point blank range after
[01:23:00.480 --> 01:23:06.400]  he was able to get to the side of the car, and plainly not in any danger.
[01:23:06.400 --> 01:23:10.160]  There is no credible way to call that self-defense.
[01:23:10.160 --> 01:23:13.820]  There is no justification whatsoever for it.
[01:23:13.820 --> 01:23:21.040]  He clearly overreacted at the minimum, and blaming her for it is disgusting.
[01:23:21.040 --> 01:23:22.040]  Absolutely agree.
[01:23:22.040 --> 01:23:24.000]  That's what I said yesterday.
[01:23:24.080 --> 01:23:31.080]  Journalist John Harwood said, she didn't try to run him over, you repulsive soulless liar.
[01:23:31.080 --> 01:23:35.280]  Adam Johnson chimed in and said, just an evil empty man.
[01:23:35.280 --> 01:23:40.880]  When it benefited his career, he went on MSNBC and NPR and told rich liberals that his relatives
[01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:45.800]  were intractable drug-addied adult hicks.
[01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:53.280]  When he saw the MAGA writing on the wall, 2021, he became a vessel for Peter Thiel.
[01:23:53.280 --> 01:23:58.320]  Now he's chief Nazi propagandist writing in Yale-y tones.
[01:23:58.320 --> 01:24:04.700]  The Guardian's Robert Mackey said, they asked us to ignore a video recorded at close range,
[01:24:04.700 --> 01:24:11.040]  and they claim a distant clip slowed down proves that she tried to, quote, run over
[01:24:11.040 --> 01:24:12.620]  the officer.
[01:24:12.620 --> 01:24:17.400]  But if you watch that video at normal speed, it shows how easily he kept his feet and how
[01:24:17.400 --> 01:24:20.560]  she accelerated after he shot her.
[01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:21.560]  Excuse me.
[01:24:22.560 --> 01:24:24.520]  About to sneeze here.
[01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:31.720]  Again, that is why police departments all over the country say don't do what he did.
[01:24:31.720 --> 01:24:40.720]  Well, Jonathan Turley has really discredited himself this week.
[01:24:40.720 --> 01:24:48.720]  I think first he went on dispelling any legal problems with what was being done in Venezuela.
[01:24:48.720 --> 01:24:52.560]  Now he is doing the same thing in Minnesota.
[01:24:52.560 --> 01:24:58.560]  He's become a cheerleader for the Hegelian dialectic.
[01:24:58.560 --> 01:25:01.680]  Absolutely discredited himself, in my opinion.
[01:25:01.680 --> 01:25:06.160]  And then Trump, again, going back in more detail with what happened with the New York
[01:25:06.160 --> 01:25:14.840]  Times reporters, they were talking to him in the Oval Office.
[01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:18.820]  So Trump is saying, well, that was a vicious situation that took place.
[01:25:18.820 --> 01:25:21.920]  He said that she behaved horribly.
[01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:23.400]  She ran him over.
[01:25:23.400 --> 01:25:24.400]  She didn't.
[01:25:24.400 --> 01:25:27.000]  And he repeats that two times.
[01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:31.360]  When the reporters argued in return, this was not clear from the video recorded in the
[01:25:31.360 --> 01:25:34.840]  scene, Trump said, well, I'll play the tape for you right now.
[01:25:34.840 --> 01:25:40.120]  And he got his assistant, Natalie Harpy, to run the video as the slow motion footage played
[01:25:40.120 --> 01:25:44.120]  on a laptop beside the resolute desk.
[01:25:44.160 --> 01:25:50.000]  The reporters noted again that the video did not clearly show an officer being run over.
[01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:55.600]  Trump said, well, the way I look at it, and at the end of the clip, Trump said, it's a
[01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:56.600]  terrible scene.
[01:25:56.600 --> 01:25:57.800]  I think it's horrible to watch.
[01:25:57.800 --> 01:25:59.480]  No, I hate to see it.
[01:25:59.480 --> 01:26:02.720]  Pressed on what he had seen, you know, so tell us, what did you see?
[01:26:02.720 --> 01:26:04.800]  You still stand by that story?
[01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:09.800]  The reporter said that Trump then pivoted to attack the immigration policies of his
[01:26:09.800 --> 01:26:12.400]  predecessors.
[01:26:12.400 --> 01:26:19.000]  So the masked ICE agent executes an American woman in Minneapolis as she tries to drive
[01:26:19.000 --> 01:26:20.760]  away.
[01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:22.760]  This is a free thought project.
[01:26:22.760 --> 01:26:24.680]  They get it as well.
[01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:26.840]  That's exactly what happened.
[01:26:26.840 --> 01:26:33.560]  That should not be a capital offense to not obey the orders from the police.
[01:26:33.560 --> 01:26:36.440]  You can look them in the eye.
[01:26:36.440 --> 01:26:38.920]  They're not your masters.
[01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:43.080]  The Trump administration took over the probe now into the ICE-involved shooting.
[01:26:43.080 --> 01:26:45.560]  So what are they concerned about?
[01:26:45.560 --> 01:26:47.640]  They don't want there to be an investigation?
[01:26:47.640 --> 01:26:56.160]  The federal government has now taken over the probe of misconduct by a federal officer.
[01:26:56.160 --> 01:27:00.400]  Yeah, you can forget about the Tenth Amendment, I guess, right?
[01:27:00.400 --> 01:27:03.760]  Trump is really grinding that into a pulp.
[01:27:03.760 --> 01:27:06.960]  So it's going to be another cover-up, just like the Epstein stuff.
[01:27:06.960 --> 01:27:13.000]  The DOJs initially wanted a joint probe of the incident with the BCA, that is the Bureau
[01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:17.080]  of Criminal Apprehension in Minnesota.
[01:27:17.080 --> 01:27:23.800]  But then it reversed course, said the BCA, and it signaled that it would now be led solely
[01:27:23.800 --> 01:27:29.640]  by the FBI, by corrupt Kash Patel.
[01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:31.520]  Corrupt Kash.
[01:27:31.520 --> 01:27:36.520]  Without complete access to the evidence, witness, and information collected, we cannot meet
[01:27:36.520 --> 01:27:40.400]  the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demands, they said.
[01:27:40.400 --> 01:27:46.120]  As a result, the BCA has reluctantly withdrawn from the investigation.
[01:27:46.120 --> 01:27:50.200]  The FBI's Minneapolis Field Office and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of
[01:27:50.200 --> 01:27:58.440]  Minnesota did not respond to the Daily Caller, who is asking for comments about why they
[01:27:58.440 --> 01:28:05.280]  are shutting down any investigation except by the corrupt FBI.

[01:29:02.680 --> 01:29:10.800]  Meanwhile, Homan has blamed hateful rhetoric.
[01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:11.800]  You know what that is.
[01:29:11.800 --> 01:29:13.920]  That's hate speech, right?
[01:29:13.920 --> 01:29:15.960]  So the left calls it hate speech.
[01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:18.680]  The right calls it hateful rhetoric.
[01:29:18.680 --> 01:29:22.440]  We've already seen Pam Bondi say, well, there's speech and there's hate speech, and we're
[01:29:22.440 --> 01:29:25.000]  not going to allow you to have hate speech.
[01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:27.240]  And we all know what that is about.
[01:29:27.240 --> 01:29:29.080]  Same tactics as the left.
[01:29:30.040 --> 01:29:32.960]  These people are the mirror image of the left.
[01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:34.760]  Yeah, shockingly similar.
[01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:40.480]  Would you think this was talking about the right in any other context?
[01:29:40.480 --> 01:29:47.520]  It's hateful rhetoric to blame for this violence according to the Tsar that we've got here.
[01:29:47.520 --> 01:29:49.600]  That's right.
[01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:51.640]  Our officers have a right to self-defense.
[01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:53.720]  Well, of course they do.
[01:29:53.720 --> 01:29:58.440]  And he was not in any danger at the time that he killed her.
[01:29:58.480 --> 01:30:03.400]  I guess the question is, who defends Americans from the police?
[01:30:03.400 --> 01:30:05.480]  Who defends us from the federal government?
[01:30:05.480 --> 01:30:08.160]  Evidently not any state government anywhere.
[01:30:08.160 --> 01:30:14.120]  Not even their hardcore, hard left opponents aren't going to stand up to this.
[01:30:14.120 --> 01:30:15.800]  They're going to back down.
[01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:17.040]  Who watches the Watchers?
[01:30:17.040 --> 01:30:20.720]  That's always been the question, right?
[01:30:20.720 --> 01:30:26.400]  And now, if you watch the Watchers, that's labeled terrorism.
[01:30:26.400 --> 01:30:31.440]  You are a domestic terrorist if you watch the Watchers.
[01:30:31.440 --> 01:30:33.240]  Don't question anything they do.
[01:30:33.240 --> 01:30:39.880]  Well, corrupt Cash Patel says the FBI is going to investigate organizers and funders of anti-ICE
[01:30:39.880 --> 01:30:42.640]  protests for impeding law enforcement.
[01:30:42.640 --> 01:30:47.720]  So what they're going to do is they're going to investigate their political opponents,
[01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:52.840]  not the murdering masked cops.
[01:30:52.840 --> 01:31:00.120]  So again, you've got a lot of former FBI and Border Patrol agents saying the shooting
[01:31:00.120 --> 01:31:04.760]  is likely to be ruled justified.
[01:31:04.760 --> 01:31:07.120]  Of course they will.
[01:31:07.120 --> 01:31:10.800]  Always the Blue Club sticks together.
[01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:13.520]  As a matter of fact, they've got their own Bill of Rights.
[01:31:13.520 --> 01:31:14.840]  Did you know that?
[01:31:14.840 --> 01:31:18.000]  The police unions are very, very powerful.
[01:31:18.000 --> 01:31:24.520]  And they have their own Bill of Rights, which is much more powerful and actually even enforced
[01:31:24.520 --> 01:31:29.640]  unlike the Bill of Rights that we have, that they're the ones who are attacking.
[01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:38.640]  So again, they actually enforce that one to protect themselves, but not you.
[01:31:38.640 --> 01:31:43.640]  And this all, we're going to take a break and we come back, we're going to talk about
[01:31:43.720 --> 01:31:51.600]  how this is really a microcosm on a domestic level of what Trump is doing internationally.
[01:31:51.600 --> 01:31:57.120]  It's bullying, it's intimidation, just like that cop who kicked through the memorial to
[01:31:57.120 --> 01:31:59.760]  the woman that was there.
[01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:03.040]  Regardless of whether you agree with their policies or whatever, you can see what the
[01:32:03.040 --> 01:32:04.040]  guy is doing.
[01:32:04.040 --> 01:32:08.920]  He is clearly trying to provoke the guy into pushing him back.
[01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:12.920]  Let me just play that again because it really makes my blood boil and it should make you
[01:32:12.920 --> 01:32:14.400]  angry about it as well.
[01:32:14.400 --> 01:32:19.400]  There he is, he's going through the memorial, just kicking it, deliberately trying to provoke.
[01:32:19.400 --> 01:32:21.280]  Do you know what that is for?
[01:32:21.280 --> 01:32:22.280]  What is that for?
[01:32:22.280 --> 01:32:23.280]  Back up.
[01:32:23.280 --> 01:32:24.280]  What is that for?
[01:32:24.280 --> 01:32:25.280]  Back up.
[01:32:25.280 --> 01:32:26.280]  What is that for?
[01:32:26.280 --> 01:32:27.280]  Back up.
[01:32:27.280 --> 01:32:29.880]  You're a fat schoolyard bully.
[01:32:29.880 --> 01:32:31.360]  People like that make me sick.
[01:32:31.360 --> 01:32:37.240]  But anyway, we're going to take a quick break.
[01:32:37.240 --> 01:32:43.720]  These same attitudes that we've seen domestically are what is happening internationally.
[01:32:43.720 --> 01:32:47.960]  And you've got people like Stephen Miller to blame for it along with Trump.
[01:32:47.960 --> 01:32:52.960]  Trump certainly is on board with that 100%.
[01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:54.600]  We'll be right back, folks.

[01:36:02.640 --> 01:36:09.040]  David Knight Show.
[01:36:09.040 --> 01:36:13.080]  I once supported regime change in Iraq and that's why Venezuela worries me.
[01:36:13.080 --> 01:36:15.600]  This is an article from Reason.
[01:36:15.600 --> 01:36:18.120]  The writer is Phil Clay.
[01:36:18.120 --> 01:36:21.920]  He says, as one government official after another talks about regime change and removal
[01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:27.520]  of an awful dictator in Venezuela, you can forgive Iraq war veterans like me for being
[01:36:27.520 --> 01:36:28.920]  nervous.
[01:36:28.920 --> 01:36:33.160]  When I contemplated joining the Marine Corps in 2002, I found a similar humanitarian case
[01:36:33.160 --> 01:36:35.440]  for war to be compelling.
[01:36:35.440 --> 01:36:38.720]  The Iraqi people were suffering under a brutal dictator.
[01:36:38.720 --> 01:36:43.240]  And even in the worst case scenario, removing him would be a net good.
[01:36:43.240 --> 01:36:51.840]  What followed was civil war, mass death, swelling ranks of terror groups, genocide, mass rape,
[01:36:51.840 --> 01:36:53.840]  and slavery.
[01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:59.400]  Seventeen years after I had that calming thought about removing a dictator, I spoke
[01:36:59.400 --> 01:37:03.400]  with a woman in northern Iraq who had been enslaved by ISIS.
[01:37:03.400 --> 01:37:05.880]  I was on a UN trip to northern Iraq.
[01:37:05.880 --> 01:37:11.320]  She told me a group of foreign policy analysts and how ISIS had slaughtered the people of
[01:37:11.320 --> 01:37:16.560]  her town, how they had taken young girls, including her, and her 13-year-old sister
[01:37:16.560 --> 01:37:18.280]  into slavery.
[01:37:18.280 --> 01:37:23.000]  After the collapse of the terror state, ISIS affiliated families like the one she'd been
[01:37:23.040 --> 01:37:31.040]  sold to were herded into the sprawling al-Hol refugee camp in Syria, trapping victims and
[01:37:31.040 --> 01:37:32.880]  slavers together.
[01:37:32.880 --> 01:37:39.040]  A Yadiz smuggling operation found her and smuggled her out, but her sister was still
[01:37:39.040 --> 01:37:40.880]  there.
[01:37:40.880 --> 01:37:44.480]  The man who ran the smuggling operation told us that there were many survivors enslaved
[01:37:44.480 --> 01:37:45.960]  in these camps.
[01:37:45.960 --> 01:37:51.840]  Three years after we spoke in 2022, a security operation would find six girls chained up
[01:37:52.080 --> 01:37:59.080]  there, subject to rape and torture, eight years after they'd been captured.
[01:37:59.080 --> 01:38:03.000]  Why are we not having enough attention from your side, he asked.
[01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:06.520]  We have a high number of survivors, people in mass graves.
[01:38:06.520 --> 01:38:08.680]  Why don't we have assistance?
[01:38:08.680 --> 01:38:12.640]  But the news of the genocide was years old at that point, and Americans were tired of
[01:38:12.640 --> 01:38:15.760]  the endless horrors of the Iraq War.
[01:38:15.760 --> 01:38:18.120]  They were tired of the human wreckage.
[01:38:18.120 --> 01:38:24.160]  It was as uninteresting to us as our responsibility for what had happened in the first place.
[01:38:24.160 --> 01:38:28.880]  I honestly have no idea what might happen in Venezuela, though the current crackdown
[01:38:28.880 --> 01:38:33.400]  by the regime, with journalists jailed and counterintelligence scouring people's social
[01:38:33.400 --> 01:38:37.040]  media accounts, is an ominous early sign.
[01:38:37.040 --> 01:38:38.920]  I've long studied the region.
[01:38:38.920 --> 01:38:42.920]  I've written about the violence and the drug trade along the border with Colombia, but
[01:38:43.000 --> 01:38:49.040]  I couldn't even begin to speculate about all the ways that this could go haywire.
[01:38:49.040 --> 01:38:53.240]  Those who are spiking the football should remember that when we use our military and
[01:38:53.240 --> 01:38:58.380]  we roll the dice with the fate of nations, the consequences play out in a much longer
[01:38:58.380 --> 01:39:01.040]  time frame than social media trends.
[01:39:01.040 --> 01:39:07.160]  As a matter of fact, when you look at this and think about what we know about ISIS and
[01:39:07.160 --> 01:39:15.800]  about Syria, and about the fact that we were arming ISIS, and that we now congratulate
[01:39:15.800 --> 01:39:22.800]  – Trump congratulates the ISIS head of Syria now – and the fact that this organization
[01:39:22.800 --> 01:39:27.200]  that's taken over Syria is executing Christians there.
[01:39:27.200 --> 01:39:28.200]  Just think about that.
[01:39:28.200 --> 01:39:32.440]  You know, from the very beginning of this, ISIS has been our tool.
[01:39:32.440 --> 01:39:36.400]  Whether it was Mujahideen, that was obviously our tool.
[01:39:36.400 --> 01:39:38.000]  We admitted that.
[01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:43.080]  But then Al-Qaeda was the same organization, but supposedly they were not our tool at that
[01:39:43.080 --> 01:39:44.080]  point.
[01:39:44.080 --> 01:39:45.080]  But they were.
[01:39:45.080 --> 01:39:46.640]  They were the tool of the CIA.
[01:39:46.640 --> 01:39:47.640]  They were the boogeyman.
[01:39:47.640 --> 01:39:53.240]  So they've been the hero, the ally, the boogeyman, the monster.
[01:39:53.240 --> 01:39:57.000]  It's whatever the CIA needs them to be.
[01:39:57.000 --> 01:40:00.400]  And this ought to give you pause to think about this.
[01:40:00.400 --> 01:40:06.760]  When you launch military action in an unstable part of the world, long beset by violence,
[01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:11.920]  there really isn't a bottom to how bad things can get, he says.
[01:40:11.920 --> 01:40:16.760]  Rather than offering a serious plan for a stable future, we are already threatening
[01:40:16.760 --> 01:40:18.880]  other countries.
[01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:23.520]  Trump has revived talk about taking Greenland from our NATO ally Denmark.
[01:40:23.520 --> 01:40:28.200]  When asked about possible military action in Colombia, another long-term ally, and one
[01:40:28.200 --> 01:40:34.160]  whose assistance would be an essential part of any serious policy in the region, the president
[01:40:34.160 --> 01:40:37.360]  said, sounds good to me.
[01:40:37.360 --> 01:40:42.060]  So American power in the wake of World War II was remarkably cost-effective because it
[01:40:42.060 --> 01:40:47.840]  rested heavily on agreed-upon rules and consensual participation.
[01:40:47.840 --> 01:40:54.800]  There was no dominant power that's ever had so much assistance from others in maintaining
[01:40:54.800 --> 01:40:57.320]  its dominance.
[01:40:57.320 --> 01:41:02.000]  The only substitute the Trump administration has for getting willing cooperation from our
[01:41:02.000 --> 01:41:06.640]  allies is cooperation at the barrel of a gun.
[01:41:06.640 --> 01:41:11.040]  America will rapidly become a much-diminished thing.
[01:41:11.040 --> 01:41:15.600]  Not just weaker, but also contemptible.
[01:41:15.600 --> 01:41:18.520]  And it is contemptible what Trump is doing.
[01:41:18.520 --> 01:41:23.880]  But it isn't even the potential downsides to Venezuela and the surrounding countries
[01:41:23.880 --> 01:41:29.120]  that worry me so much as what our president, high on the success of a brilliant military
[01:41:29.120 --> 01:41:31.440]  operation, might do next.
[01:41:31.440 --> 01:41:37.180]  In the first year back in office, we've already struck Iran and Venezuela without even trying
[01:41:37.180 --> 01:41:42.440]  to go through Congress or establish democratic support for the war, the most dangerous and
[01:41:42.440 --> 01:41:48.040]  morally consequential thing a country can do, and which, for precisely that reason,
[01:41:48.040 --> 01:41:52.220]  our founders made the responsibility of the legislature.
[01:41:52.220 --> 01:41:58.620]  If you continue to allow an unrestrained president to initiate acts of war against
[01:41:58.620 --> 01:42:05.460]  other countries without debate, without authorization, how long before the whims of one irresponsible
[01:42:05.460 --> 01:42:10.160]  man leads to genuine disaster?
[01:42:10.160 --> 01:42:12.860]  And that's the reality.
[01:42:12.860 --> 01:42:17.620]  That's the reality domestically and internationally.
[01:42:18.220 --> 01:42:23.140]  Then we look at the reactions that are in other countries.
[01:42:23.140 --> 01:42:31.320]  R.T. has a comment from Rafael Carrera, who is the former president of Ecuador.
[01:42:31.320 --> 01:42:38.320]  He says, the abduction of Maduro set a disastrous precedent that can throw the world back into
[01:42:38.320 --> 01:42:40.480]  barbarism.
[01:42:40.480 --> 01:42:46.460]  The hypothetical – not hypothetical, but the hypocritical – international reaction
[01:42:46.460 --> 01:42:51.800]  has allowed the U.S. to get away with actions that are, quote, impossible to accept.
[01:42:51.800 --> 01:42:57.720]  He says, imagine for a moment that Putin captured Zelensky, he said.
[01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:00.900]  Can you imagine what the world's response would be?
[01:43:00.900 --> 01:43:04.360]  Nothing at all like the response the U.S. is getting.
[01:43:04.360 --> 01:43:08.460]  International reaction to the abduction has demonstrated nothing but global hypocrisy
[01:43:08.460 --> 01:43:11.200]  and double standards so far.
[01:43:11.200 --> 01:43:16.160]  This unprecedented, extraordinary event deserves a much stronger response from the international
[01:43:16.160 --> 01:43:18.220]  community, said Carrera.
[01:43:18.220 --> 01:43:23.020]  What they're saying is, either you do what I say, or I'll bomb you again.
[01:43:23.020 --> 01:43:30.560]  In other words, hands up, obey your commands.
[01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:36.720]  This is the Trump government and the American government in a nutshell.
[01:43:36.720 --> 01:43:43.220]  It is life at the point of a barrel of a gun.
[01:43:43.220 --> 01:43:47.580]  So Carrera said it is something extremely dangerous for the entire planet, not just
[01:43:47.580 --> 01:43:50.380]  for Venezuela, but for Latin America as well.
[01:43:50.380 --> 01:43:55.620]  And then in Russia, you've got a lot of people – as this guy says, imagine if Putin had
[01:43:55.620 --> 01:43:56.620]  captured Zelensky.
[01:43:56.620 --> 01:44:01.020]  And so you've got a lot of Russians who are saying, yeah, why hasn't Putin captured Zelensky
[01:44:01.020 --> 01:44:02.900]  at this point in time?
[01:44:02.900 --> 01:44:04.620]  Especially people like Alexander Dugan.
[01:44:04.620 --> 01:44:06.940]  He's saying, you need to go get him.
[01:44:07.940 --> 01:44:13.260]  And of course, his daughter was assassinated by Ukrainian intelligence, thinking that they
[01:44:13.260 --> 01:44:15.300]  were killing him.
[01:44:15.300 --> 01:44:16.700]  Chinese social media explodes.
[01:44:16.700 --> 01:44:24.020]  U.S. invasion of Venezuela is a template for our move on Taiwan.
[01:44:24.020 --> 01:44:28.200]  Chinese Weibo users are complaining that if Washington can quickly invade and remove the
[01:44:28.200 --> 01:44:33.780]  leader of a nuisance government in its own backyard, then China can forcibly reunite
[01:44:33.780 --> 01:44:36.420]  Taiwan, of course, right?
[01:44:36.420 --> 01:44:45.180]  This is, I guess we could call this the domino theory of bad precedents from a bad president.
[01:44:45.180 --> 01:44:50.460]  There's a growing number of pro-Kremlin figures and Russian military bloggers now saying that
[01:44:50.460 --> 01:44:54.260]  something very parallel but related to Ukraine.
[01:44:54.260 --> 01:44:59.060]  They're upset that Russia has dragged its feet in directly moving against Zelensky and
[01:44:59.060 --> 01:45:04.180]  Kiev, and they want more muscular direct action against the illegitimate leader, as Putin
[01:45:04.220 --> 01:45:07.420]  has frequently called him, or at least his top officials.
[01:45:07.420 --> 01:45:10.180]  Isn't that interesting?
[01:45:10.180 --> 01:45:14.620]  Everybody uses that phrase, the illegitimate leader.
[01:45:14.620 --> 01:45:19.020]  I don't think that, I don't like anything that Zelensky does.
[01:45:19.020 --> 01:45:21.020]  I wouldn't call him an illegitimate leader.
[01:45:21.020 --> 01:45:25.980]  I mean, he is the guy who is in charge there, whether you like him or not.
[01:45:25.980 --> 01:45:29.320]  That doesn't make him illegitimate just because you don't like him.
[01:45:29.320 --> 01:45:32.820]  Among the most prominent Russian figures to draw this parallel, of course, is Alexander
[01:45:32.820 --> 01:45:43.100]  Dugin, as I said, and he is saying that the fast-moving events in Venezuela are a critical
[01:45:43.100 --> 01:45:47.760]  and urgent challenge for Russia to do the same.
[01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:53.540]  So the capture of Maduro demonstrates that international law no longer exists.
[01:45:53.540 --> 01:45:56.540]  Only the law of force applies.
[01:45:56.540 --> 01:45:58.100]  And that's not just Alexander Dugin.
[01:45:58.100 --> 01:46:01.220]  I mean, that's what Stephen Miller is proudly saying.
[01:46:02.100 --> 01:46:06.020]  He said that we're going to be ruled by force.
[01:46:06.020 --> 01:46:08.300]  The law of the jungle is back.
[01:46:08.300 --> 01:46:15.860]  And get ready for a global war, because that's what Trump and the agents of chaos want to do.
[01:46:15.860 --> 01:46:20.620]  So the war in Ukraine must under no circumstances be stopped, not before victory is achieved,
[01:46:20.620 --> 01:46:22.500]  says Alexander Dugin.
[01:46:22.500 --> 01:46:23.500]  He said, look at Venezuela.
[01:46:23.500 --> 01:46:27.620]  If we don't destroy them now, they will destroy us tomorrow.
[01:46:27.620 --> 01:46:32.420]  This is always the logic of preemptive attacks.
[01:46:32.420 --> 01:46:36.060]  So what the Japanese said about Pearl Harbor, that's what we always say when we want to
[01:46:36.060 --> 01:46:38.060]  preemptively attack somebody.
[01:46:38.060 --> 01:46:41.860]  If necessary, we have to be prepared to fight the United States as well.
[01:46:41.860 --> 01:46:46.300]  We may not be able to conquer them, but we will be able to defend ourselves.
[01:46:46.300 --> 01:46:52.020]  Again, this is, so he's saying, you've got to wipe out these people right now.
[01:46:52.020 --> 01:46:57.260]  You heard the same kind of thing from warmongers for Israel, saying, we've got to stop mowing
[01:46:57.260 --> 01:46:58.260]  the lawn.
[01:46:58.260 --> 01:46:59.540]  These people just keep growing back.
[01:46:59.540 --> 01:47:01.660]  We've got to kill them all, right?
[01:47:01.660 --> 01:47:04.100]  This is where this all leads.
[01:47:04.100 --> 01:47:10.780]  You say the government in this other country is illegitimate, it's corrupt.
[01:47:10.780 --> 01:47:14.820]  And of course, we're the good guys wearing white hats, right?
[01:47:14.820 --> 01:47:17.580]  And we need to go take them out.
[01:47:17.580 --> 01:47:21.460]  And then you become the monster that you fight.
[01:47:21.460 --> 01:47:26.780]  Starship Yeti, a pro-war telegram channel with about 600,000 followers, also heaped
[01:47:26.780 --> 01:47:31.740]  ample criticism on how Moscow leadership has executed the special military operation,
[01:47:31.740 --> 01:47:38.220]  they call it, saying it should be more efficient, should be moving against top Ukrainian officials.
[01:47:38.220 --> 01:47:43.540]  Clearly, no one is tasking the military with abducting Zelensky.
[01:47:43.540 --> 01:47:49.380]  He is of far greater use where he is in his current role rather than in prison in Moscow.
[01:47:49.380 --> 01:47:55.340]  But that said, there are many lower ranking figures whose elimination would bring prestige
[01:47:55.500 --> 01:47:57.180]  and acclaim.
[01:47:57.180 --> 01:48:02.300]  So what they're saying is that Zelensky is so obviously corrupt that we should leave
[01:48:02.300 --> 01:48:03.300]  him there.
[01:48:03.300 --> 01:48:08.580]  He's inept and he's corrupt, so we should leave him there because he's going to be
[01:48:08.580 --> 01:48:12.140]  much more use than if we put him in prison in Russia.
[01:48:12.140 --> 01:48:16.620]  So another pundit said, if you launch the next special military operation without removing
[01:48:16.620 --> 01:48:21.780]  the military and political leadership, and with the naive ideas of brotherly nations
[01:48:22.020 --> 01:48:26.980]  in your head, your idiots and your descendants will curse you.
[01:48:26.980 --> 01:48:33.100]  And so they make the point that when you look at Zelensky, he has banned opposition media,
[01:48:33.100 --> 01:48:39.060]  he's banned churches, he's banned opposition parties, he's banned the right to collectively
[01:48:39.060 --> 01:48:44.820]  bargain, he has killed his own countrymen on behalf of NATO, he runs one of the most
[01:48:44.820 --> 01:48:50.980]  corrupt governments in the world, many people say the most corrupt, he overthrows elections
[01:48:50.980 --> 01:48:57.020]  and he's everything that they tell us that Nicolas Maduro is.
[01:48:57.020 --> 01:49:02.380]  So as for the potential fallout from Trump's Venezuelan intervention, countries like Iran
[01:49:02.380 --> 01:49:07.900]  will likely see a greater incentive for a secret nuclear weapons or other weapons of
[01:49:07.900 --> 01:49:10.140]  mass destruction programs.
[01:49:10.140 --> 01:49:15.420]  Others will surely beef up their anti-air capabilities, especially if Washington has
[01:49:15.420 --> 01:49:18.940]  called them a rogue state.
[01:49:19.700 --> 01:49:22.740]  I don't know how they let me on this podcast, but while I'm here, I might as well tell
[01:49:22.740 --> 01:49:29.220]  you the only place to play blackjack roulette and live craps in Texas is spinquest.com baby.

[01:50:19.020 --> 01:50:25.020]  Well, Tulsi Gabbard has been missing in action in the Venezuela operation, as the Washington
[01:50:25.020 --> 01:50:26.980]  Post points out.
[01:50:26.980 --> 01:50:34.660]  She has been on record opposing regime change, opposing the Iraq war, and as recently as
[01:50:34.660 --> 01:50:38.860]  two months ago, she was opposing regime change.
[01:50:38.860 --> 01:50:43.580]  And she's been noticeably absent in all of this stuff and the Washington Post noticed
[01:50:43.580 --> 01:50:44.580]  that.
[01:50:44.580 --> 01:50:49.900]  Trump's top national security advisors in recent days have outdone one another to publicly
[01:50:49.900 --> 01:50:56.820]  extol his bold decision to launch the risky military raid that captured Nicolas Maduro.
[01:50:56.820 --> 01:51:01.980]  But one key figure that's been largely absent from public view is Tulsi Gabbard.
[01:51:01.980 --> 01:51:08.200]  So the question is, is she ashamed to be associated with what she knows is wrong, what she knows
[01:51:08.200 --> 01:51:11.820]  is wrong and what she's said is wrong from many years?
[01:51:11.820 --> 01:51:16.140]  Or is she afraid to talk about it because she's afraid she'll lose her job?
[01:51:16.140 --> 01:51:20.100]  Well, she's not doing her job.
[01:51:20.100 --> 01:51:27.380]  What she's doing is she's keeping the job so she can collect the perks of the job.
[01:51:27.380 --> 01:51:30.660]  She's no better than Cash Patel.
[01:51:30.660 --> 01:51:36.220]  Gabbard, an Iraq war veteran, who for years has spoken out against costly US interventions
[01:51:36.220 --> 01:51:41.940]  abroad, waited more than three days before commenting publicly about Operation Absolute
[01:51:41.940 --> 01:51:42.940]  Resolve.
[01:51:42.940 --> 01:51:47.740]  Her usually busy feeds on X, where she maintains official and personal accounts, were abnormally
[01:51:47.740 --> 01:51:56.500]  quiet until she issued a terse statement Tuesday afternoon, after this happened on Saturday.
[01:51:56.500 --> 01:51:59.860]  She's been missing in action from Fox News and other conservative broadcasts, where she's
[01:51:59.860 --> 01:52:06.060]  been a frequent guest, championing Trump's priorities and excoriating his perceived enemies
[01:52:06.060 --> 01:52:10.640]  in a way that previous intelligence chiefs avoided.
[01:52:10.640 --> 01:52:14.620]  So the statement she put out said, President Trump promised the American people he would
[01:52:14.620 --> 01:52:21.620]  secure our borders, confront narco-terrorism and dangerous drug cartels and drug traffickers.
[01:52:21.620 --> 01:52:26.780]  Kudos to our servicemen and women and intelligence operators for their flawless execution of
[01:52:26.780 --> 01:52:33.300]  President Trump's order to deliver on his promise through Operation Absolute Resolve.
[01:52:33.300 --> 01:52:37.700]  So here she is praising what she has always condemned.
[01:52:37.700 --> 01:52:42.720]  Gabbard's comments in support of the operation diverge sharply from everything that she's
[01:52:42.720 --> 01:52:47.980]  said for the last seven years, even two months ago.
[01:52:47.980 --> 01:52:53.100]  She played little role in the planning and execution of this complex raid on Friday night.
[01:52:53.100 --> 01:53:00.900]  As a matter of fact, it's kind of interesting that the CIA took such a public upfront position,
[01:53:00.900 --> 01:53:06.180]  and yet the Director of National Intelligence had nothing to do with it.
[01:53:06.180 --> 01:53:12.020]  The core team comprised Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and CIA Director John
[01:53:12.020 --> 01:53:16.580]  Ratcliffe, the marco-terrorists.
[01:53:16.580 --> 01:53:21.380]  A spokesperson for Gabbard, responding to multiple emails requesting comment on her
[01:53:21.380 --> 01:53:27.300]  position on Trump's Venezuelan intervention and her role in it, pointed to her ex-post
[01:53:27.300 --> 01:53:29.300]  on Tuesday.
[01:53:29.300 --> 01:53:34.000]  On New Year's Day, as US military special operations were anxiously waiting for the
[01:53:34.000 --> 01:53:39.320]  weather to clear, she posted on her personal ex-account pictures of herself doing yoga
[01:53:39.320 --> 01:53:44.100]  on a beach, apparently in her home state of Hawaii.
[01:53:44.100 --> 01:53:50.500]  She said, my heart is filled with gratitude, aloha, and peace, adding a prayer hands emoji
[01:53:50.500 --> 01:53:52.300]  to it.
[01:53:52.300 --> 01:53:57.820]  Seems pretty obvious that she's not a part of this Maduro mission, and she's not been
[01:53:57.820 --> 01:54:04.940]  a part of the Inner Circle for some time, if ever, said a former US intelligence officer.
[01:54:04.940 --> 01:54:10.540]  As Director of National Intelligence, she has focused on going after perceived political
[01:54:10.540 --> 01:54:16.620]  enemies, that are not sufficiently loyal to Trump.
[01:54:16.620 --> 01:54:23.980]  In August, she publicly revoked the security clearances of 17 former and current US officials.
[01:54:23.980 --> 01:54:29.720]  In a separate move, she fired the top two officials of the prestigious National Intelligence
[01:54:29.720 --> 01:54:44.300]  Council in May.
[01:54:44.300 --> 01:54:50.740]  As Congresswoman, she decried Trump's decision to assassinate Soleimani, head of the Iran
[01:54:51.740 --> 01:54:57.540]  and covert action arm of Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
[01:54:57.540 --> 01:54:59.380]  She was against assassination.
[01:54:59.380 --> 01:55:04.420]  She also criticized Trump's 2018 Syria policy.
[01:55:04.420 --> 01:55:10.780]  Gabbard called Trump's policy a betrayal of the American people that would benefit terrorists.
[01:55:10.780 --> 01:55:14.260]  But now, we have, and this is one of the reasons that she was put in, because she was very
[01:55:14.260 --> 01:55:17.460]  popular with Trump's voting base.
[01:55:17.460 --> 01:55:22.420]  And yet now, he has gone in exactly the opposite direction.
[01:55:22.420 --> 01:55:29.900]  Now he's got ISIS in the Oval Office, even as the Syrian regime is executing Christians
[01:55:29.900 --> 01:55:35.940]  and other ethnic groups in Syria, after we helped them get in power.
[01:55:35.940 --> 01:55:39.640]  So again, he honored that terrorist in the Oval Office.
[01:55:39.640 --> 01:55:46.320]  She was broadly criticized in 2017 for her visit to Syria, in which she met with Assad,
[01:55:46.320 --> 01:55:51.120]  whose regime was accused of gross human rights atrocities.
[01:55:51.120 --> 01:55:56.280]  Gabbard later declared that Assad is, quote, not the enemy of the US.
[01:55:56.280 --> 01:56:01.920]  But the US was the enemy of Assad, for all reasons as well.
[01:56:01.920 --> 01:56:07.200]  And again, if you go back to 2017, when I was at Infowars, we were pushing really hard
[01:56:07.360 --> 01:56:10.800]  against involvement in that war, how things have changed.
[01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:13.720]  Now Alex Jones is a cheerleader for war.
[01:56:13.720 --> 01:56:19.440]  He's a cheerleader for the police state, after doing documentary after documentary about
[01:56:19.440 --> 01:56:21.320]  the police state in opposition to it.
[01:56:21.320 --> 01:56:25.140]  Now he is cheering it, making excuses for it.
[01:56:25.140 --> 01:56:33.480]  And now you have Assad gone, and the guy who replaced him is eradicating Christian communities
[01:56:33.480 --> 01:56:36.760]  that have been there for thousands of years.
[01:56:36.760 --> 01:56:40.560]  This is American foreign policy under Trump.
[01:56:40.560 --> 01:56:45.640]  In March, Gabbard had testified to Congress, reflecting the Intelligence Committee's assessment
[01:56:45.640 --> 01:56:52.560]  at the time that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, but the pressure on Supreme Leader
[01:56:52.560 --> 01:56:56.200]  Ali Khamenei to do so was growing.
[01:56:56.200 --> 01:57:00.880]  Asked about the assertion in June, Trump said that Gabbard was wrong.
[01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:03.880]  He says, I don't care what she says.
[01:57:03.880 --> 01:57:08.000]  What matters to him is what Netanyahu says, what Israel says.
[01:57:08.000 --> 01:57:11.000]  They're the ones who own him.
[01:57:11.000 --> 01:57:15.920]  So the bottom line is there aren't any good outcomes that are going to come out of Trump's
[01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:19.080]  regime change in Venezuela.
[01:57:19.080 --> 01:57:23.720]  Marco Rubio came out and clarified the administration did not consider this to be an act of war
[01:57:23.720 --> 01:57:28.480]  or military operation, but rather a law enforcement endeavor.
[01:57:28.480 --> 01:57:34.880]  But no wonder they support law enforcement shooting people in the streets, right?
[01:57:34.880 --> 01:57:37.560]  That's what law enforcement looks like to them.
[01:57:37.560 --> 01:57:42.160]  We shoot first and don't ask any questions.
[01:57:42.160 --> 01:57:47.920]  And whether it's people in boats or people in cars, just shoot them.
[01:57:47.920 --> 01:57:52.720]  The soundness of that legal distinction aside, at a press conference the day after the operation,
[01:57:52.720 --> 01:57:57.280]  Trump said that in the aftermath of Maduro's capture, that the U.S. government would now
[01:57:57.360 --> 01:58:05.360]  run Venezuela, suggesting geopolitical motivations that go beyond a simple execution of an arrest
[01:58:05.360 --> 01:58:06.960]  warrant.
[01:58:06.960 --> 01:58:08.760]  And think about that.
[01:58:08.760 --> 01:58:10.040]  You're now going to run it?
[01:58:10.040 --> 01:58:11.040]  Because why?
[01:58:11.040 --> 01:58:14.880]  Because you took out the head of state, so you admit that he's the head of state.
[01:58:14.880 --> 01:58:16.960]  And then you say, yeah, but he was corrupt.
[01:58:16.960 --> 01:58:19.360]  He overthrew their elections.
[01:58:19.360 --> 01:58:25.400]  But the Trump administration is not going to put the people that they said won the election.
[01:58:25.400 --> 01:58:29.880]  They're not going to put them in place, and Trump is not going to allow elections to
[01:58:29.880 --> 01:58:32.560]  be taken, to take place.
[01:58:32.560 --> 01:58:36.000]  How's he any different from Zelensky?
[01:58:36.000 --> 01:58:41.320]  He is the one who is now the corruption, the operation.
[01:58:41.320 --> 01:58:46.560]  The hype of Orwellianism that they can then turn around and say that this isn't regime
[01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:47.560]  change.
[01:58:47.560 --> 01:58:50.680]  Yes, the regimes have changed, but it's not regime change.
[01:58:50.680 --> 01:58:55.520]  Yes, we're putting in our own choice of who we want to rule it, but we haven't changed
[01:58:55.520 --> 01:58:56.520]  anything.
[01:58:56.520 --> 01:58:59.120]  Yeah, it is Orwellian gaslighting, isn't it?
[01:58:59.120 --> 01:59:01.760]  That's exactly what it is.
[01:59:01.760 --> 01:59:08.040]  So it's the culmination of a long pressure campaign by a coalition of industry and ideological
[01:59:08.040 --> 01:59:13.120]  interest groups who wanted Washington to carry out a regime change of Venezuela for a lot
[01:59:13.120 --> 01:59:14.980]  of different reasons.
[01:59:14.980 --> 01:59:21.080]  The coalition includes energy companies that want to protect and, better yet, expand their
[01:59:21.080 --> 01:59:27.000]  access to oil deposits in the region, and have taxpayers help them to make up for losses
[01:59:27.000 --> 01:59:31.940]  that they suffered when Venezuela nationalized its oil supply.
[01:59:31.940 --> 01:59:37.820]  And so he's going to—this is this kind of circular corruption that we see happening
[01:59:37.820 --> 01:59:44.020]  over and over again, massive amounts of federal money, and these people then do their kickbacks
[01:59:44.020 --> 01:59:46.660]  to Trump in various ways.
[01:59:46.660 --> 01:59:51.860]  Just because the Trump administration successfully orchestrated the capture of Maduro doesn't
[01:59:51.860 --> 01:59:56.620]  mean that they have succeeded in carrying out regime change, by the way.
[01:59:56.620 --> 02:00:01.820]  It's a real risk that it could evolve into the exact kind of forever war that Trump and
[02:00:01.820 --> 02:00:07.100]  his cabinet have been so dismissive of these last couple of days.
[02:00:07.100 --> 02:00:13.160]  Once you start trying to extract the oil, as I said, it's a very dangerous situation.
[02:00:13.160 --> 02:00:16.320]  Those are very vulnerable targets.
[02:00:16.320 --> 02:00:21.920]  Once you ignite a fire in one of those oil wells, it is really difficult to get it out.
[02:00:21.920 --> 02:00:25.320]  It's very easy to start it, very difficult to stop it.
[02:00:25.320 --> 02:00:31.400]  And so Mises.org says, the primary factor at the core of so many of our societal problems,
[02:00:31.400 --> 02:00:37.860]  including most that Trump himself ran on, the primary factor at the core of the problems
[02:00:38.000 --> 02:00:44.380]  is the attempt by the American political class to maintain a global empire with all of the
[02:00:44.380 --> 02:00:51.980]  economic, moral, security, and cultural decay that that empire will bring.
[02:00:51.980 --> 02:00:55.740]  And so is the constant drive towards war.
[02:00:55.740 --> 02:01:02.620]  The abandonment of basic moral norms to bolster military dominance, the almost unhuman tendency
[02:01:02.780 --> 02:01:08.900]  to see mass violence not as a horror that should only ever be pursued as an absolute
[02:01:08.900 --> 02:01:16.180]  last resort, but as a lucrative way to enrich related industries and to grab more and more
[02:01:16.180 --> 02:01:21.260]  control over domestic and foreign populations and to prop up any foreign group or country
[02:01:21.260 --> 02:01:24.220]  that is willing to pay enough.
[02:01:24.220 --> 02:01:26.820]  That is the bankruptcy of empire.
[02:01:26.820 --> 02:01:30.500]  That is the bankruptcy of the American federal government.
[02:01:31.380 --> 02:01:37.100]  In the wake of horrifying wars like Vietnam, you don't get the 2003 invasion of Iraq or
[02:01:37.100 --> 02:01:38.100]  the 20-year.
[02:01:38.100 --> 02:01:39.100]  It's Bretzky.

[02:02:38.380 --> 02:02:45.060]  Quagmire in Afghanistan without quick wins, like Reagan's invasion of Grenada, or Bush
[02:02:45.060 --> 02:02:52.580]  Sr.'s regime change in Panama, or the dominant victory over Iraq in 1991, which Bush celebrated
[02:02:52.580 --> 02:02:56.980]  for having, quote, kick the Vietnam syndrome once and for all.
[02:02:56.980 --> 02:02:57.980]  Right?
[02:02:57.980 --> 02:02:59.520]  That's what he thought it did.
[02:02:59.520 --> 02:03:02.860]  There's another risk of Trump's intervention in Venezuela.
[02:03:02.860 --> 02:03:08.420]  Even if it goes well, and the region stabilizes in some way that Washington D.C. prefers without
[02:03:08.420 --> 02:03:13.460]  requiring an abnormal amount of tax dollars, a seemingly positive outcome could be used
[02:03:13.460 --> 02:03:18.820]  to mislead more voters, commentators, and politicians into thinking that regime change
[02:03:18.820 --> 02:03:24.900]  and nation building are actually safe and worthwhile policies after all.
[02:03:24.900 --> 02:03:27.300]  So it is a lose-lose situation, folks.
[02:03:27.300 --> 02:03:32.860]  It's really a bad situation if it goes bad, as all of these wars have, but it's also going
[02:03:32.860 --> 02:03:37.060]  to be a bad situation if it goes well.
[02:03:37.060 --> 02:03:40.540]  Because they will be emboldened to do this, and this guy says, by no means this is a reason
[02:03:40.540 --> 02:03:45.700]  to hope, this is not a reason to hope for a disastrous war, nobody wants that.
[02:03:45.700 --> 02:03:49.700]  But even if they win, we lose.
[02:03:49.700 --> 02:03:53.100]  Because if they win, they'll do it again, just like they won with COVID, and they're
[02:03:53.100 --> 02:03:55.380]  going to do COVID again.
[02:03:55.380 --> 02:04:05.060]  So it's not just the USA, but it's also Russia and China that are being emboldened by these
[02:04:05.060 --> 02:04:06.980]  types of actions.
[02:04:06.980 --> 02:04:12.180]  If we're somehow able to navigate this precarious moment without another endless war breaking
[02:04:12.180 --> 02:04:17.980]  out, it is imperative that we prevent a good outcome from being used to push us even further
[02:04:17.980 --> 02:04:24.700]  down this terrible path that we're so desperately need to get off of.
[02:04:24.700 --> 02:04:28.740]  That's absolutely right, that's the Mises people talking about that.
[02:04:28.740 --> 02:04:34.820]  So as Trump wants to talk about this corrupt regime and how he's not a legitimate president
[02:04:34.820 --> 02:04:38.260]  there because he overthrew the elections, but we're not going to put the people that
[02:04:38.260 --> 02:04:39.580]  we said won.
[02:04:39.580 --> 02:04:45.980]  And Trump has ruled out elections in Venezuela, and he's anticipating sending troops to occupy
[02:04:45.980 --> 02:04:46.980]  it.
[02:04:46.980 --> 02:04:53.780]  Yeah, he is eviscerating his own rationale for rejecting Maduro as leader.
[02:04:53.780 --> 02:04:57.500]  Maduro is gone, but the repression of Venezuela has intensified, as I've talked about a couple
[02:04:57.500 --> 02:04:58.500]  of days ago.
[02:04:58.500 --> 02:05:06.260]  You've got the motorcycle gangs of collectivos that are going around searching for any political
[02:05:06.300 --> 02:05:07.860]  opposition that is there.
[02:05:07.860 --> 02:05:11.660]  They've already kicked off something of a civil war.
[02:05:11.660 --> 02:05:17.940]  And the person that he wants to put in charge is actually the political ally of Maduro.
[02:05:17.940 --> 02:05:24.740]  This woman, it was 50 years ago that her father, who was a Marxist, was killed by American
[02:05:24.740 --> 02:05:25.940]  forces.
[02:05:25.940 --> 02:05:30.300]  And so you have to ask yourself, whose side is she really on?
[02:05:30.300 --> 02:05:32.860]  Either way, she's under duress.
[02:05:32.860 --> 02:05:37.420]  She's under duress from the Maduro people, from the collectivos, and she's also under
[02:05:37.420 --> 02:05:42.140]  duress from Trump, either what I say or else.
[02:05:42.140 --> 02:05:46.660]  So the Justice Department is walking back a claim that Maduro is a leader of the Narco
[02:05:46.660 --> 02:05:48.540]  Terrorist Cartel.
[02:05:48.540 --> 02:05:52.500]  As I pointed out when the indictment came out, the one that they put out in March of
[02:05:52.500 --> 02:05:59.700]  2020, they had listed the Cartel of the Suns 30 times and referred to it as an organized
[02:05:59.740 --> 02:06:02.860]  formal structure that was there.
[02:06:02.860 --> 02:06:06.860]  In this new indictment, they've only mentioned that name twice.
[02:06:06.860 --> 02:06:12.300]  And in both of those cases, it's put out there vaguely as an idea.
[02:06:12.300 --> 02:06:18.620]  But I played for you the fact that these generals, which is what they're calling the high ranking
[02:06:18.620 --> 02:06:23.260]  generals, which is what they're calling the Cartel of the Suns, was working with the CIA
[02:06:23.260 --> 02:06:26.300]  going back into the 1980s.
[02:06:26.340 --> 02:06:30.340]  That was 60 Minutes, when 60 Minutes actually did reports.
[02:06:30.340 --> 02:06:31.940]  They uncovered that.
[02:06:31.940 --> 02:06:37.020]  So the Trump administration can't get its Venezuelan story straight.
[02:06:37.020 --> 02:06:41.500]  And that's a big red flag, just like it was with Hillary Clinton and Benghazi.
[02:06:41.500 --> 02:06:45.180]  The United States just invaded a sovereign nation and can't coherently or consistently
[02:06:45.180 --> 02:06:47.620]  explain why.
[02:06:47.620 --> 02:06:51.820]  The absence of a clear purpose is already undermining the operation itself, leaving
[02:06:51.820 --> 02:06:57.980]  the people of Venezuela under confused governance and incoherent occupation.
[02:06:57.980 --> 02:07:05.700]  So each explanation carries a different implication for authority, for duration, for responsibility.
[02:07:05.700 --> 02:07:11.260]  Together they show senior officials talking past one another about the meaning of the
[02:07:11.260 --> 02:07:13.660]  same act of force.
[02:07:13.660 --> 02:07:19.500]  A law enforcement action, if that's what it is, would imply a very narrow scope.
[02:07:19.500 --> 02:07:23.860]  A national security intervention would imply an external threat.
[02:07:23.860 --> 02:07:29.900]  Economic stabilization and energy strategy would imply sustained material interests.
[02:07:29.900 --> 02:07:33.460]  Transitional governance implies responsibility for outcomes.
[02:07:33.460 --> 02:07:38.340]  Control over another nation's oil revenues implies practical authority over its wealth
[02:07:38.340 --> 02:07:40.300]  and its infrastructure.
[02:07:40.300 --> 02:07:47.980]  Each of these different explanations carries distinct legal, moral, and strategic consequences.
[02:07:47.980 --> 02:07:51.780]  If you put them together, they don't clarify purpose.
[02:07:51.780 --> 02:07:53.260]  They obscure it.
[02:07:53.260 --> 02:07:58.140]  In other words, we've got all these different, like I said, it is very much like Hillary
[02:07:58.140 --> 02:07:59.940]  and Benghazi.
[02:07:59.940 --> 02:08:03.300]  Every few hours she had another reason for it happening.
[02:08:03.300 --> 02:08:07.980]  And these people have all these different reasons which just don't add up.
[02:08:07.980 --> 02:08:09.300]  They contradict with each other.
[02:08:09.300 --> 02:08:14.300]  The breakdown is especially striking given what this administration has proven it can
[02:08:14.300 --> 02:08:15.380]  do.
[02:08:15.380 --> 02:08:20.620]  The second Trump term has been defined by remarkable communications discipline under
[02:08:20.620 --> 02:08:25.660]  Suzy Wiles, Stephen Chung, and Caroline Lovett.
[02:08:25.660 --> 02:08:28.100]  Messaging has been centralized.
[02:08:28.100 --> 02:08:30.820]  Talking points have been reinforced.
[02:08:30.820 --> 02:08:35.940]  The improvisational chaos of the first term has been replaced by carefully controlled
[02:08:35.940 --> 02:08:38.180]  strategy.
[02:08:38.180 --> 02:08:43.740]  Venezuela represents, however, the collapse of that system at the precise moment that
[02:08:43.860 --> 02:08:46.500]  Precision matters the most.
[02:08:46.500 --> 02:08:48.900]  Foreign policy depends on clarity.
[02:08:48.900 --> 02:08:51.060]  Remote power projection runs on story.
[02:08:51.060 --> 02:08:57.460]  Without troops holding territory or administrators managing institutions, the U.S. controls Venezuela
[02:08:57.460 --> 02:09:01.620]  only insofar as others believe that it does.
[02:09:01.620 --> 02:09:06.680]  Allies are watching the U.S. claim authority that it cannot define.
[02:09:06.680 --> 02:09:10.580]  This is how missions unravel before outcomes are measured.
[02:09:10.580 --> 02:09:12.620]  Authority dissolves into confusion.
[02:09:12.620 --> 02:09:15.140]  Deterrence gives way to uncertainty.
[02:09:15.140 --> 02:09:19.020]  Incoherence compounds into failure.
[02:09:19.020 --> 02:09:22.300]  The administration still has time to consolidate its position.
[02:09:22.300 --> 02:09:24.820]  It can define a clear objective.
[02:09:24.820 --> 02:09:28.920]  It can state why the U.S. acted.
[02:09:28.920 --> 02:09:32.760]  And it can align senior leadership behind that explanation.
[02:09:32.760 --> 02:09:35.540]  But that remains undone.
[02:09:35.540 --> 02:09:39.660]  Even if it were to do all that, you still have the legal and the moral issues that are
[02:09:39.660 --> 02:09:40.860]  there.
[02:09:40.860 --> 02:09:50.800]  And I think when you look at what is going on in the last week, from the kidnapping of
[02:09:50.800 --> 02:09:58.220]  Maduro on Saturday to the execution of this woman in Minneapolis by the police and the
[02:09:58.220 --> 02:10:03.100]  Trump administration doubling down on it, what bothers me even more than the lies of
[02:10:03.100 --> 02:10:11.040]  the Trump administration is the fact that the public is so, the MAGA people are just
[02:10:11.040 --> 02:10:15.980]  so enthralled with all this stuff, so defensive about it, just like that woman who wrote me.
[02:10:15.980 --> 02:10:16.980]  Well, that's it.
[02:10:16.980 --> 02:10:18.300]  I'm going to go listen to Alex Jones.
[02:10:18.300 --> 02:10:20.020]  Yeah, go listen to Alex Jones.
[02:10:20.020 --> 02:10:21.020]  He'll cheer war.
[02:10:21.020 --> 02:10:22.540]  He'll cheer the police state now.
[02:10:22.540 --> 02:10:27.580]  He'll tell you whatever you want to hear so that you can feel good about supporting Trump.
[02:10:27.580 --> 02:10:33.600]  You don't want to hear that Trump is taking us in the wrong direction, do you?
[02:10:33.600 --> 02:10:35.260]  You don't want to do anything about that, do you?
[02:10:35.260 --> 02:10:38.780]  You want to feel good about all that and just sit back and be passive.
[02:10:38.780 --> 02:10:42.620]  Well, that's where you should turn.
[02:10:42.620 --> 02:10:46.180]  The ugly truth is that many Americans love war.
[02:10:46.180 --> 02:10:51.180]  Yeah, this is the op-ed piece from Free Thought Project, and they're absolutely right, actually
[02:10:51.180 --> 02:10:53.940]  originally came from anti-war.
[02:10:53.940 --> 02:10:58.220]  Americans have short-term memory when it comes to our nation's warmongering, but when
[02:10:58.220 --> 02:11:06.180]  consequences are felt and casualties mount, the enthusiasm quickly wanes, unless you're
[02:11:06.180 --> 02:11:09.620]  looking at somebody that they don't like, and then they're more than happy to see that
[02:11:09.620 --> 02:11:12.580]  person killed domestically.
[02:11:12.580 --> 02:11:18.620]  And so what they point out is that as soon as Trump did this, within hours, social media
[02:11:18.620 --> 02:11:24.180]  feeds were filled with profile pictures draped in the stars and stripes and statements like
[02:11:24.180 --> 02:11:27.060]  FAFO.
[02:11:27.060 --> 02:11:32.580]  The mission's execution, the talk of restoring democracy, tapped a familiar chord in American
[02:11:32.580 --> 02:11:33.940]  psyche.
[02:11:33.940 --> 02:11:37.180]  The reactions to this raid highlight an ugly truth about the United States.
[02:11:37.180 --> 02:11:38.720]  Americans love war.
[02:11:38.720 --> 02:11:40.140]  They don't like higher taxes.
[02:11:40.140 --> 02:11:44.140]  They don't like the debased currency or the flag-draped coffins that are all produced
[02:11:44.140 --> 02:11:47.180]  by the war, but they love war itself.
[02:11:47.740 --> 02:11:54.020]  Just like they don't love the vaccine, but they love Trump, who gave it to them, who
[02:11:54.020 --> 02:11:59.060]  gave them the lockdowns, the masks, who bribed people for it.
[02:11:59.060 --> 02:12:03.860]  That's the disconnect that is just maddening to look at.
[02:12:03.860 --> 02:12:04.860]  Don't be a part of that.
[02:12:04.860 --> 02:12:06.860]  Have a good weekend.
[02:12:06.860 --> 02:12:07.860]  Thank you for joining us.
[02:12:17.860 --> 02:12:32.860]  The Common Man.
[02:12:32.860 --> 02:12:35.900]  They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
[02:12:35.900 --> 02:12:39.080]  They created Common Pass to track and control us.
[02:12:39.080 --> 02:12:46.900]  Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
[02:12:47.620 --> 02:12:51.620]  They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
[02:12:51.620 --> 02:12:56.620]  But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[02:12:58.620 --> 02:13:00.620]  That is what we have in common.
[02:13:00.620 --> 02:13:02.620]  That is what they want to take away.
[02:13:02.620 --> 02:13:07.620]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
[02:13:07.620 --> 02:13:12.620]  They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
[02:13:13.340 --> 02:13:18.340]  It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
