Of course, it's also the result of a couple of tragic incidents. And it is indeed the result of mishandling of those tragic incidents by people inside the Trump administration. The combination meant that the chaos attempt by Democrats in Minneapolis has actually worked to some extent. It is now driven action by the Trump administration. The Trump administration yesterday announced that Gregory Bavino has essentially lost his job. Gregory Bavino is the border patrol chief, who is the commander at large, and will return apparently to El Centro, Christie Knome, who's the head of Department of Homeland Security, is also on thin ice at this point, given her mishandling of a couple of tragic cases

3:04in which American citizens were shot under disputed circumstances. One Renee Good was attempting to obstruct federal operations. And then she hit an agent with her car and was shot to death. And Alex Freddie, who was again, obstructing federal operations, resisted arrest, and was disarmed. But apparently the officer still thought he was armed and shot him to death. The mishandling of those situations by both Gregory Bavino and Christie Knome has put the administration in a particularly poor position. But let's not forget that this begins with Democrats attempting to obstruct federal law. And because Democrats have been obstructing federal law, because they've been attempting to dissuade the administration from enforcing the law, this has meant that the administration has been forced to actually change its tactics with regard to deportations in large measure. The Wall Street Journal has a really interesting and important piece today talking about the Trump mass deportation policy. So let's be real. The Trump mass deportation policy, which has been part of Trump's stump speech since 2015,

4:09has suggested that all illegal immigrants have to go. The reality is that Americans are much more focused when it comes to actual deportation from the United States of America. They're much more focused and much more on board with deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed independent crimes. They may be fine with the idea of mass deportation, deportation of people for illegal immigrants, but have committed no other crime aside from the illegal immigration. But the place they really want to focus and the easy call for them and the politically easy call is the people who are committing rape and arson and assault and murder. Those are the people that the American people are positive they want to see gone. And early on the administration did an amazing job of targeting specifically those people and in red states they are still targeting those people. The problem is that blue states have done a good job of not working with ICE and obstructing federal law enforcement and that has meant that ICE has become more untargeted in its pursuit of criminal illegal aliens. So as the Wall Street Journal points out at the beginning of 2025, 87% of ICE arrests were

5:12immigrants with either a prior conviction or a criminal charge pending according to ICE data obtained by the deportation data project. Only 13% of those arrested at the beginning of 2025 didn't have either a conviction or a pending charge. But the criminal share of apprehensions has declined as the months have gone on. By October 2025, the percentage of arrested immigrants with a prior conviction or criminal charge had fallen all the way down to 55%. That is a reflection of blue states not working with ICE because one way you guarantee that people who have been arrested for criminal charges and up out of the country is when you don't have sanctuary states and sanctuary cities refusing to work with ICE and border patrol. Because if you work with ICE, then you pick somebody up for rape, you check their immigration status. If they are here illegally, you call up ICE and that person ends up being deported. If you don't work with ICE, maybe that person ends up in jail, maybe that person ends up in the system and then is acquitted or is released for lack of evidence and ends up running around the countryside. And that's what's been happening in blue states. Since October 73% taken into ICE custody had no criminal conviction. Only 5% had a violent

6:17criminal conviction according to a Cato Institute review of ICE data. Now again, what this means is that ICE when it goes to actually try and do deportations, it ends up picking up people who may or may not have committed a crime, but fewer of them will have committed a separate crime than if they were just going into the jails. And this is the point that's been made by the White House of Borders, our Tom Homan. He said if they let us in their Tam jail, we could arrest the bad guy in the safety and security of the jail. And what that also means is that when ICE does pursue a criminal illegal immigrant, they now have to go and knock down the door. They now have to go into a neighborhood in order to do all of that. If this makes ICE confrontations more likely and makes protests more plentiful, it means ugly are pictures on your TV. And this is being facilitated and driven again by Democrat sanctuary city policies. But what that means is that also those ugly pictures on on your TV change how people think of the issue in general. People like when the law is enforced,

7:18they like law and order. They just don't like to see law and order in progress. They don't like to see it happen. By the way, this is not just true for illegal immigration. This is true for normal police operations. Policing is a very messy and difficult job. This is why you will see many circumstances in which somebody takes a video of a police officer having to do his job. And the entire online crowd will jump on the police officer for having to do the kinds of stuff police officers have to do because pretty much every person who is dealing with a cop is experiencing the worst day of their life when they deal with the cop. And the cop all day long has to deal with people who are experiencing that. And so he is likely to encounter people in their most violent state. And that means that the pictures on your TV when the stuff gets broadcast on your TV is ugly. And just like everything else, ugly in life, people don't like to see the ugliness. They just like to see the result if the result is good. War, domestic law enforcement, all of these things when people see ugly pictures on their TV, they get very, very upset.

8:19Even though they want the results from the ugly pictures. And well, when those ugly pictures involve American citizens being killed under disputed circumstances at the very best, very checkered circumstances for the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Freddie. When that happens, that allows legacy media actors to treat all of law enforcement as an exercise in brutal tyranny. If you want to see how legacy media are twisting this chaos operation into a story about the evils of ice, all you have to do is look at Jimmy Kimmel will get to that in a moment first.

So just to take an example of this sort of propagandizing Jimmy Kimmel did this last night here was Jimmy Kimmel going off. I'm pretty much all ice agents

11:27all board of patrol and suggesting that they're masked thugs terrorists roaming our streets. Here he was last night on ABC news. I spent the weekend like probably a lot of you did looking at my phone and just feeling shocked and sick about what is happening in Minneapolis. He's one video after another screaming people being torn from their families. Americans people who are born in the United States being pulled out of their cars for the crime of having an accent or whatever children. Small children babies being tear gas taken into custody separate from their parents. Just one atrocity after another being committed by this gang of poorly trained shamefully led mask wearing goons and that is what they are. They're goons committing vile heartless and even criminal acts and it's sickening to watch and it's frustrating to watch it's like we're all being forced to play a game that has no rules they just make up the rules as they go along. When you hear Kimmel label our law enforcement

12:27they are ours right there we pay their salaries as jack booted thugs mass thugs are out there pursuing atrocities against Americans. That is the story that the left would like to tell and they facilitated that story by obstructing federal law enforcement. This is the game. This is the game and then Kimmel goes on to lie about the circumstances under which for example Renee good was shot. They won't even admit that it was a mistake they I mean they say that the Honda SUV Renee good was driving was weaponized they say the gun Alex Freddie had a license to carry in an open carry state all right many of these same people screamed very loudly about when it was Kyle Rittenhouse carrying the gun a gun that Alex Freddie did not even draw did not touch a gun that was taken from him by one of the agents before he was shot dead by the other ones they fired 10 times on an ICU nurse they're telling us well I was justified you know is that the law in order that you voted for if you voted for this. Notice what he's doing there so he takes some facts and then he wraps a

13:30giant fiction around it. Hey so it is true that Renee good they claim that she was domestic terrorist DHS it is related to the same thing with Alex Freddie this is why I said at the very top that failures inside the Trump administration have made Democrats job easier for them in order to shut down law and order. But notice how he wraps that into a generalized critique of all law and order in the United States and the suggestion that the only possible solution is to simply allow our immigration law to go unenforced. My wife and I have family in Minneapolis are afraid to take their kids to school they're afraid to go to work and I can only imagine how people aren't white feel about this. How does this end what's the plan here is the plan to just keep doing this in every city that didn't vote for Donald Trump does anyone on any side believe this is good leadership. What he is doing there is also a lie right this is only happening in blue cities because blue cities are the places that are not working with ice red cities are working with ice

14:31so it's not a problem blue cities are not working with ice so it is a problem hey now this is all incredibly frustrating to watch if you're attempting to be objective minded about the very difficult realities of enforcing the law and you recognize that there has been a mechanism set up by blue states in order to obstruct the enforcement of that federal law and that the people attempting to enforce that law are then blamed when things go wrong it's deeply deeply frustrating the problem is that frustration does not change the fact with regard to public opinion when it comes to public opinion because of the ugly pictures on the TV as I warned last week when you look at those ugly pictures on your TV opinions on whether people want to see the operations continue drop so CNN's Harry Anton looked at this he says this is turning into a political disaster area for president Trump ice DHS Christina have been a political disaster because just take a look here I mean ice is not approverating during Trump's terms you go back to term number one look it was pretty even zero points you go to June 2025 right that was when all that stuff was going on in Los Angeles

15:37they dropped down look at this minus 17 points way in the basement but then after Minneapolis it's even lower minus 27 points on the net approverating of ice of course this all being done under Christy known so no what's going on in Minneapolis is not popular at all what's been going on during this second term under ice under the Trump administration under because you know has very much not been popular and it's only beginning more and more unpopular okay so this is why yesterday the Trump administration attempted to change course the way they attempted to change course is by honestly assessing what has been going on recognizing that there are people attempting to obstruct the law and also attempting to change some of the staffing decisions that they have made with regards to heads up very contentious efforts and these are the right moves by the Trump administration I encourage them to do this actually yesterday on the show so yesterday Caroline love it was asked about Alex Freddie because obviously secretary of Homeland Security Christy

16:39known had suggested he was a domestic terrorist who is attempting to inflict mass casualties the same line was tried out by Gregory Bavino who is the official in charge of of border patrol agents in Minneapolis president Trump was asked about that earlier in the day yesterday and he refused to give a green light to that description and so Caroline love it over at the White House did the same on Stephen Miller's comments will Stephen Miller be apologizing to family of Alex Christie for calling him quotes an assassin who tried to murder federal agents despite the fact that as you say this is still under investigation look again this incident remains under investigation and nobody here at the White House including the president of the United States wants to see Americans hurt or killed and losing their lives in American seats streets and we mourn for the parents as a mother myself of course I cannot imagine the loss of life especially losing one's child in that same empathy from the president goes for the parents of angel families parents of victims

17:43of illegal alien crime across our country as well and that's exactly why the president continues to be wholeheartedly committed to deporting the worst of the worst criminals from our country okay but the thing she doesn't do there is defend Stephen Miller's language and calling Alex Freddie a potential assassin or the language of Gregory Bavino or the language of Christie known and then she says what is obviously true obeying law enforcement used to be a sort of normally accepted part of American life this is true of course they have also used their platforms to encourage left-wing agitators to stock record confronts and obstruct federal officers who are just trying to lawfully perform their duties which has created dangerous situations threatening both these officers and the general public and Minnesotans alike this is precisely what unfolded in Minneapolis on Saturday morning obstructing federal law enforcement and inciting violence against officers is wrong and illegal this used to be a universally accepted position in the United States and so of course that is true and then she added that president Trump is fulfilling

18:49the will of the people when it comes to deporting criminal illegal immigrants again notice the focus criminal illegal immigrants illegal immigrants who have committed another crime as the duly elected president the president is fulfilling the will of the people by arresting and removing these threats from our country and cities from Los Angeles to New York and yes Minneapolis yet Democrat leaders in Minnesota with sanctuary city policies have actively defied federal immigration law and the will of the people and as a result of that defiance two Minnesotans have now tragically lost their lives on the streets again this description is how the Trump administration should have been covering in the first place and then she laid out president Trump's path to restoring order in Minneapolis all of which is the policy that should be followed and he has outlined a clear and simple path to restoring law and order in Minnesota number one governor waltz mayor fri and all Democrat leaders should turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their prisons

19:54in jails to federal authorities along with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation number two state and local law enforcement must agree to turn over all illegal aliens who are arrested by local police and then thirdly local police must assist federal law enforcement in apprehending and detaining illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes especially violent crimes if governor waltz and mayor fri implement these common sense cooperative measures that i will add i have already been implemented in nearly every single other state across the country sit what customs and border patrol will not be needed to support ice on the ground in minnesota ice and local law enforcement can peacefully work together as they are effectively doing in so many other states in jurisdictions additionally president trump is calling on the united states congress to immediately pass legislation ending sanctuary cities once in for all hey this is good policy and this is the policy the trump administration should

21:00be pursuing there also again changing some of the personnel or in charge of implementing this policy instead of essentially leaving this in the hands of christie gnome over at dhs who i think is not done a good job so i made clear over and over or grab grab a group of you know who seems to not be PR wise or capable of handling difficult situations like this he is sending the person who should have been in charge all along the borders are tom homin who since the beginning of this has been the law and order let the full investigations take place where enforcing will wall guy tom homin has always been the adult in the room on this policy according to the washington post carland levit said that trump maintains full confidence in christie gnome but he is sending tom homin too many apples and homin will report directly to the president he is taking over from gregg bavino the border patrol commander who's been the face of the operation in miniapolis as well as previous forays into la and chicago levit said the bavino will continue to lead operations around the country but this is pretty clearly a demotion according to the Atlantic Gregory bavino has been removed from his

22:04role as border patrol commander at large and will instead return to his former job in alcentro california and he is expected to retire soon that's according to the Atlantic again kind of disputed reports from the trump administration on all of that now this also comes amid president trump changing some of his language with regard to for example tim walsh so yesterday the president put up a statement on truth social quote governor tim walsh called me with the request to work together with respect minnesota it was a very good call and we actually seem to be on a similar wavelength i told governor walsh i would have tom homin calling and though we're looking for are any and all criminals that they have in their possession the governor very respectfully understood that and i was speaking to him in the near future he was happy the tom homin was going to minnesota and so am i we've had such tremendous success in washington dc Memphis tenisee and whirlens wiziana and virtually every other place that we have touched and even a minnesota crime is way down but both governor walsh and i want to make it better president trump so that is president trump being conciliatory toward governor walsh now yesterday on the show i recommended that actually he throw the issue in walsh's lap and say listen

23:08it's our job to enforce federal immigration law you tell us what we have to do and what you have to do to make sure the federal immigration law is enforced in the most efficient possible way since you seem to think that you can both obstruct federal law enforcement and encourage people to obstruct federal law enforcement the president seems to think that he is going to win over walsh and and democrats more with honey than with vinegar which is a fair approach the president then made a similar statement regard to jacob fry of miniapolis quote i just had a very good telephone conversation when they are jacob fry miniapolis lots of progress is being made time homin will be meeting with him tomorrow in order to continue the discussion thank you for your attention to this matter while tim walsh for his part then put out a statement afterward in which he said quote governor walsh had a productive call with president trump earlier today the governor made the case that we need impartial investigations of the miniapolis shootings involving federal agents and that we need to reduce the number of federal agents in minisota the president agreed he would talk to his department of homeland security about ensuring the minisota bureau of criminal

24:11apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation as would ordinarily be the case the president also agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in minisota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals the governor reminded president trump minisota department of corrections already honors federal detainers by notifying ice when a person committed to its custody isn't a US citizen there's not a single documented case of the departments releasing someone from state prison without offering to ensure a smooth transfer of custody not a second we'll get to the lie that is inherent there because there is a lie that is being told by omission in that statement by governor walsh but clearly what is happening here is the trump administration is reorienting toward the better parts of the administration in terms of handling this and trying to deescalate the situation whether that the escalation is possible is going to be at least in large part up to the state of minisota and the city of miniapolis with that said the trump administration is doing the right thing by handing more power over to tom home and inside the administration apparently this has been a battle brewing internally inside the administration for quite a while according to jenny tear reporting for

25:14our daily wire there have been dividing lines drawn inside the administration already on one side homeland security secretary christie nome or patrol commander greg bavino and cordy luandowski at top trump advisor and temporary government employee who has had a long rumored relationship allegedly with christie nome on the other side our boroughs are tom home and enacting ice director tada lions nomes camp is focused on aggressive and showy tactics fiery press conferences and bavino marching through town with a squad of border patrol agents in tow and is fixated on increasing arrest numbers home inside is focused on the quality of arrest and getting the worst criminals off the street which they feel is a job at best suited for ice rather than border patrol and again that split into the open when nome and bavino started making statements that were not backed by the facts with regard to the killings of aliexpretty and rene good officials inside nome's own department slammed her rush to judgment according to sources who spoke with the daily wire one official said it was a horrible response many people have heard say it was unprofessional

26:14she doesn't know what she's doing the people in dhs are frustrated with secretary nome and the way dhs is handling the media the employees one more professional response not memes and one lineers so i highly doubt that the changes at the top of dhs have stopped it seems to me that christie nomes in a very vulnerable position given her failures on this topic among others and frankly i think that that's appropriate i think that she's not done a credit to the president as dhs secretary which is her job if you're a secretary working under the president at the pleasure of the president then you really should be facilitating the success of his administration not undermining it with photo ops and bad statements nome for her part seems to be giving up the ghost to homin she said on x monday it's good news for p safety and accountability minnesota that homin is going to Minneapolis quote i've worked closely with tom over the last year has been a major asset to our team his experience and insight will help us in our wide-scale fraud investigations

27:15which have robbed americans and will help us to remove even more public safety threats and violent criminal illegal aliens off the streets of Minneapolis and continue to call on the leadership in minnesota to allow for state and local partnership in our public safety mission so again we'll have to see how far the fallout goes house democrats are looking at christy nome for possible impeachment apparently they are set to open an investigation as early as next week democrats are going to conduct their investigation according to the washington post without the majority party they acknowledge they're unlikely to remove it nome in the short term but they want a signal obviously to their own constituents that they are taking the problems with nome and with dhs and with this entire illegal immigration cleanup operation seriously which brings us to the democrats the democrats are clearly sensing blood in the water here they clearly sense momentum they do which is why this entire chaos operation run by the democrats is a disaster area if you can politically win by obstructing federal law that is a massive problem it's a massive problem and it's why the president is right to seek conciliation but

28:18obviously conciliation with red lines federal law must be enforced and if the state of minnesota and the city of Minneapolis refused to allow the enforcement of actual federal law then we have an impasse i think the president is right to replace nome with homin in this in this position homin again is the adult in the room and i think that the president is not wrong to reach out to walls but i think that has to be the predicate to an actual conversation with walls because walls is fibbing now so walls put out an opinion piece in the wall street journal in which he suggested federal officials are lying he said the trump administration's assault on minnesota long ago stop being a matter of immigration enforcement it is a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our street of our state it isn't just it isn't legal and critically it isn't making anyone safer and now again the notion this is a campaign of organized brutality against all the people of minnesota is a lie it is untrue and this sort of posturing from walls is utterly inappropriate utterly inappropriate immigration law is enforced or should be enforced there's a duty to enforce it

29:20under the law by every executive branch head every president has a duty to enforce immigration law just because Joe Biden refused to do it doesn't mean he now duty to do it Donald Trump is doing the thing that all these other presidents said they were going to do and it is in fact the job of state of local officials not to get in the way so at home and does he says that he's working with the feds but he isn't really isn't really because there is a fundamental lie that is being told here so wall says the pretext for all this is the trump administration's insistence that our immigration laws would otherwise go on enforced this federal occupation of minnesota is administration officials insist about our pre-delection for releasing violent criminally legal aliens from state custody i can't stress this enough the trump administration has its facts wrong about minnesota and then walls claims the administration claims that minnesota jails released the worst of the worst in reality the minnesota department of corrections honors all federal and local detainers by notifying ice when a person committed to its custody isn't a u.s. citizen there's not a single documented case of the department releasing someone from state prison without offering to ensure a

30:22smooth transfer of custody get the lies persist this week ice tweeted that rural cottonwood county had refused to honor a detainer for an alleged child sex predator that's not true the county sheriff a followed procedure and contacted ice when the subject posted bail but ice agents were too busy wreaking havoc in the twin cities to do their actual job and pick the prisoner up some of the administration's claims are ridiculous on their face for example it claims 1,360 non u.s. citizens are in minnesota prisons the truth are total state population in the prisons is roughly 8,207 of them are non citizens and then the administration he says published what it claimed is a list of people who have been arrested as part of the ice sweep asserting this list represents the worst of the worst criminals implying we have been protecting them from capture minnesota public radio investigated and found most had been transferred to ice custody at the end of their time served in minnesota prisons and then he says everyone wants to see our immigration laws enforced this isn't what's happening in minnesota okay so here is the problem here is the lie yes it is true that minnesota on the state level the state department of corrections

31:28honors ice detainers but you know who doesn't in minnesota city and county jails they do not honor ice detainers so in effect walls is pointing out that if you go to prison having committed a crime being convicted then they will honor an ice detainer but if they pick you up for sexual assault before you've gone through all of the rigmarole of trial they will not notify ice if they pick you up for an alleged rape ice is not notified and so unless the case goes all the way through to conviction and then time in the jail system ice is not notified well there are an awful lot of people who have experiences with law enforcement who don't end up going to jail who ends up with traffic violations multiple traffic violations this is why you'll see people with a record as long as your arm who've been picked up by the police over and over who never ends it up in the state department of corrections they never went to actual prison they were in jail temporarily and then they post a bail or they were released or whatever it is that is a much larger number than the number of people who end up in the state department of corrections president trump and ice

32:30are asking for people to work with ice to allow for the deportation of migrants who are arrested for crimes according to CBS news the jurisdictions of Minneapolis and St. Paul will not hold someone for ice because they say they lack the legal authority to detain people on ice detainers which are administrative warrants not judicial warrants but that's not true it happens all over the country not only that the Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon according to care 11.com has refused all requests for driver records Medicaid data voter rolls citing privacy laws so attempting to block fraud investigations for example into illegal immigrants meanwhile Keith Ellison the attorney general of the state wrote that DHS's operations in Minnesota were quote a federal invasion and cited the administration's fraud claims as a pretext for political targeting because of the viewpoints of the state's leaders so walls is attempting to kind of you know edge around the reality of the situation and this is an issue that came up when I was talking with governor Gavin Newsom California he made the same claim oh no

33:31we work with ice all the time well then what is the point of you being a sanctuary state what does that designation mean and the answer is what the designation means is that they will not work with ice unless the person is full on in the department of corrections that's what it means and sanctuary cities will not allow for example their police departments to gather immigration data on the people that they arrest which is a massive problem and is a huge huge problem and it means that people who are repeat criminals are in fact being allowed back onto the streets if they don't do actual hard prison time if there's a plea agreement that ends with house arrest or if there is some sort of fine that is paid those people just end up back on the streets and ice is never notified so this is where the Trump administration is going to have to be careful now maybe they go for the titular victory here maybe they say well you know Tim Walls has given up the ghost he's no longer going to pursue his sanctuary state policies with such alacrity we seem to have come to an agreement they look for an offering that that's possible politically here but again if the message that comes out of this for democrats is obstruct federal law and get

34:35away with it that is going to be a massive problem and by the way that does seem to be what democrats are aiming for so it's quite possible here that democrats win the battle but lose the war meaning that if they win the battle against ice if they get americans to briefly see ice as the problem and illegal immigration as a secondary issue if they get all of that to happen in the in the short term that may not be the result in the long term we saw the same exact thing happened in 2020 when the police briefly were treated as an invading army by the democrats and for a moment the police were wildly unpopular and then it turns out that when you do that crime rates radically skyrocket and people get mad and then they don't like the democrats for that which is why the democrats have been under water on the immigration issue and also on policing for years on end so democrats the oretically here could win the battle against the trump administration in Minneapolis but lose the war politically spring is a natural reset point if you've been putting off cleaning up the messier parts of your business now would be the time to make the change streamlining your communications

37:41the democrat from california he was out there on the streets of Minneapolis pandering by the new york post is saying this has gone too far you know it's gone too far it's gone too far killing american citizens i mean no one signed up for this no one who voted for thought they would be killing a 30-70 year old american nurse it's tiresome again this is what's so annoying about this situation many things can be true at once the trump administration is right to want to enforce the law the secretary of homeland security and the border patrol chief botched the handling of bad situations democrats have set up a chaos operation to instruct federal law and our legacy media and democratic politicians are attempting to facilitate the obstruction of federal law like all those things can be true at once and also it can be politically advantageous for democrats on for i wish that weren't true all of that is true but our democrats gonna go too far probably probably the only saying democrat again is is john federman again i don't agree with senator federman when federman says that the operations in many application and but he also

38:43opposes for example government shut down over ice he put out a statement saying the operation of Minneapolis should stand down and immediately and it is becoming an ungovernable and dangerous urban theater for civilians and law enforcement that is incompatible with the american spirit he says i believe our nation deserves a secure border and that we should also deport all criminal migrants i believe there needs to be a path citizenship but then he says i will never vote to shut our government down and he says and vote to shut our government down will not to fund ice dhs already has a hundred seventy eight billion dollars in funding from one big beautiful bill acts which i did not vote for i want a conversation on the dhs appropriations bill and supports stripping it from the minibus it is unlikely that that will happen in our country will instead suffer another shutdown so again federman is trying to sort of have the baby here that that is that is the the i think most saying democrat position that i've seen articulated although obviously i disagree that quote unquote all operations should end in minnesota that's just notification of federal law many more democrats are going way further than senator federman so

39:43governor was more who wants to run for president despite all of his protestations to the contrary governor merlin he supports the government shutdown over ice funding the idea that we should have what government shut down it hurts my state more than any state in the country but i also know this we cannot continue to allow to uh... of this funding of the thirteenth largest military force by funding in the world to continue to exist in meanwhile senator chris fan holland says the real domestic terrorists are in the white house this has become part of the disgusting white house cover up of these killings uh... they said the same thing about rene good they really think the american people are stupid i mean we can all see the videotapes we saw the videotapes with rene good we've seen the videotape today uh... with Alex pretty it is clear that steven miller in this white house are engaged in a cover up and it's criminal to try to cover up a killing like this uh... look the

40:45reality is that the the real domestic terrorists they're in the white house right now their people like steven miller their people like donald trump they're the ones who are terrorizing the community these communities having nothing to do uh... with public safety that's senator chris van holland of merlin who is indeed a stupid person he is the same person who went down to al-savador to visit with kiel mara but i go garcia as you recall a man who is deported having allegedly committed a wide variety of crimes including domestic violence against his his bow so that that is chris van holland and democrats are going to go too far in this direction that that is very very likely illhanna omar of minnesota she of course is going the furthest of anyone she says ice is beyond reform she put out a tweet voting no on the dhs funding bill is the bare minimum back in christian ohms impeachment is the bare minimum holding law-breaking ice agents legally accountable is the bare minimum ice is beyond reform abolish it right so some democrats the most radical democrats are going all the way here our democrats are going to follow that path the these sort of zorn mom donification

41:48of their party i think it's unlikely instead democrats seem to be coalescing around a set of demands for the funding of dhs according to axios when senate minority leader chuck shumer returns to washington this week you'll have a growing block of democrats demanding significant concessions from president trump a group of around ten senate democrats is coalescing around a list of demands for changes at dhs including requiring warrants for a rass ice in the means judicial warrants not administrative warrants and mandating that federal agents identify themselves multiple sources said that they also want to demand the dhs cooperate with state and local investigations into incidents like the shootings of a renegade and outspreading in minnesota some moderate democrats might not be willing to go that far presumably that would be senator federman for example who doesn't want a government shutdown so be interesting to see the democrats fight it out over what is quote unquote enough for their base on this subject it is quite possible as i said again the democrats are going to win the battle in minneapolis but lose the war as americans actually reject their anti law and order positioning in general because there are

42:51lots of ugly pictures coming out of minneapolis and they're not all about ice or border patrol yesterday local pd had to arrest protesters at a hotel who decided that they were going to vandalize the hotel break in her ass people people being arrested again this is local pd minneapolis pd arresting people i will say that you know one one thing that we are watching across the country is a board society truly board society with a lot of young people with not enough to do who are spending their days fominating about basic law enforcement operations and deciding that that here was him requires they stand up in the streets against the allegedly jack booted thugs and democrats facilitating that sort of stuff will end in more violence at just will that is the reality sort of unhinged

43:51language that's being used about law enforcement will end with more confrontations it will end with more death and i do not think that is going to end with the tom homin deployment to minnesota so long as democrats see the political gain in attempting to radicalize an entire youth population against law enforcement okay meanwhile in cultural news Kanye West has now apologized for his anti-semitism in a full page ad in the wall street journal he he basically says what we all suspected about Kanye and so most ripped up and down for saying at the time which is that he suffers from bipolar disorder and because he's bipolar he says crazy things and when he's on a manic high he says things and he can't be stopped this has always been my take on Kanye West anti-semitism doesn't justify the anti-semitism but his anti-semitism and his craziness is significantly more justifiable than that of his sane followers people who are not bipolar who have decided to follow him down that primrose path because they see the clicks in the giggles in all of it again whether you choose to forgive somebody for their actions are not as

44:56up to you certainly i've always felt that that Kanye West's mental illness knowing people who are schizophrenic knowing people who are bipolar when people are in the throes of this mental illness they say and do things that are truly unjustifiable even by them that is just a reality of life and recognizing that truth doesn't obviate fighting anti-semitism obviously but again i actually blame Kanye West a lot less than all the people who decided to host him on their podcast and treat him as a sane and rational human being or chop out sections of his schizophrenic nonsense in order to make him appear more rational to a broader population so that when he actually started spewing his Nazi trash this suddenly seemed legitimate alongside all of his other comments area or all the people who decided that he had now opened the overton window to naziism enough that they were then going to capitalize i blame those people much more than i blame a bipolar man who has always suffered with significant psychic breaks again i think Kanye is less to blame for this than a lot

45:56of the people surrounding Kanye for sure who continue to make money off of him and make clicks off of him and all of the rest his statement in the Wall Street Journal he says bipolar disorder comes with its own defense system denial when you're manic you don't think you're sick you think everyone else is overreacting you feel like you're seeing the world more clearly than ever when in reality you're losing your grip entirely once people label you as crazy you feel as if you cannot contribute anything meaningful to the world it's easy for people to joke and laugh it off when in fact is a very serious debilitating disease you can die from according to the WHO in Cambridge University people with bipolar disorder have a life expectancy shortened by 10 to 15 years on average and a two to three times higher all-cause mortality rate than the general population so the scariest thing about this disorder is how persuasive it is when it tells you you don't need help it makes you blind but you're convinced you have insight you feel powerful certain and unstoppable i lost touch with reality things got worse the longer i ignored the problem i said and did things i deeply regret some of the people i love the most i treated the worst you endured fear confusion humiliation and the exhaustion of trying to love someone who was at times unrecognizable

46:57looking back i became detached from my true self in that fractured state i gravitated toward the most destructive symbol i could find the swastika and even sold t-shirts bearing it one of the difficult aspects of having bipolar type one are the disconnected moments many of which i still cannot recall that leads to poor judgment and reckless behavior that oftentimes feels like an out-of-body experience i regretted and deeply mortified by my actions in that state and and committed to accountability treatments and meaningful change it does not excuse what i did though i'm not a Nazi or an anti-Semite i love Jewish people again bipolar people are bipolar and recognizing that reality means that yes we should have sympathy for them i have zero sympathy for the people who decided that the worst excesses in which Kanye West was engaging were somehow justifiable or good or brilliant insights those people being sane cynical and disgusting that's the part that is truly egregious and unforgivable not the ramblings of somebody who clearly has a mental disorder and who is admitted as much some of us said this at

49:00and meanwhile speaking of people who are unhinged but like you know not crazy just just politically unhinged i don't know why democrats have decided their response to Joe Rogan is an obnoxious white lady who just says crazy shit it's confusing to me so Jennifer Welch is apparently the the hot new thing i guess and hold this Jennifer Welch and i don't think that any of those descriptors actually apply in any case here she was yesterday suggesting the white evangelical christianity is a cancer white evangelical christianity is a cancer these are the worst of our country these are the worst people in our country because they use their religion in two ways as a weapon and as a shield they weaponize it whenever they want to and say we're on the moral high ground you're a lesbian you deserve to die you're a lesbian the cops shouldn't have revived oh your parents are mexicans and they brought you over here yeah you should go to gel and eat worm food

50:03and then when you call them out on it oh my god they're after the christians how dare they how dare they we're so oppressed white christians are so oppressed in this country god these obnoxious okay there's a great way to win back then great job democrats really excellent stuff that that that seems very very rational and and well articulated if this is the direction democrats want to go if this is their their response which is to i guess drive harbor into the wine non moms with this sort of with this sort of appeal good luck to them okay on the economic front meanwhile it turns out that obama care is a giant fail so a brand new article from the wall street journal points out that obama care has actually now started to cost people more than their mortgage according to the wall street journal millions of americans are starting to see their monthly health insurance bills rise a new pressure point for a nation still frustrated with the high cost of living expanded subsidies again for obama care expired on december 31st

51:03now those newly calculated insurance bills are coming to americans are having to figure out how to pay up or go without so Lenny and Mandy Wilson who are 47 and live in charleston west virginia pay 255 bucks a month last year for a low end ACA plan last year they learned their bill would be going up to two thousand one hundred fifty five dollars a month that is a some nearly triple their monthly mortgage payment so great job obama care again which continues to have to survive on the basis of federal subsidies and taxpayer dollars gigantic infusions of taxpayer dollars now will that blow back on republicans again this is the beauty of democratic programs when you fail you simply blame lack of spending on the republicans which is why you've seen some republicans in moderate states call for a temporary revision of the subsidies at least for a year or two well other measures are implemented that bring down costs that's sort of the transitional plan here suffice it to say as always democratic subsidized programs end up costing people a gigantic sum of money and the only way out of it is is further subsidization that is the only way no wonder then

52:10that voters feel less and less secure according to a brand new new york times sienna poll asked what they feel is affordable it's sort of fascinating all of the areas that are most subsidized by the government are the areas that are least affordable according to americans that is not a coincidence because every area of american life subsidized by the government the price has gone up radically education fifty eight percent say unaffordable housing largely subsidized by the government fifty four percent say unaffordable healthcare subsidized by the government forty seven percent say unaffordable when you get to say groceries twenty eight percent say unaffordable which again groceries are up because of inflation but groceries are plentiful and you can still get them and again compared to the sort of cost of food historically you can get a lot even though the prices are really really inflated transportation twenty two percent say unaffordable as opposed to forty seven percent who say somewhat affordable and twenty eight percent say

53:14mostly affordable so the pressures are all in the areas that the government has stuck its grubby fingers into and the democratic solution as always and this is the mistake that you see Republicans making too is that government solves that problem government does not solve that problem government creates that problem have a transitional plan and get the government out of these programs a transitional plan for the people who are in trouble and the people who are reliant on the subsidies and then create better incentive structures because capitalism makes things more plentiful and cheaper and government subsidization it makes things more scarce and more expensive are folks coming up we'll get into the great california wealth exodus people leaving california because of all of the bad policy over the remember in order to watch have to be a member if you're not a member become member use coach appear a check out for two months free on all annual plans click that link in the description and join us what was it like my land to be alone with god
