Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It has been a historic year for the President of
- 0:02Speaker 1: the United States of America, doing things that no one
- 0:05Speaker 1: else thought was possible, like completely shutting down the southern border,
- 0:10Speaker 1: having reverse migration, something I've not seen in essence in
- 0:14Speaker 1: my entire lifetime, and the President also going out and
- 0:18Speaker 1: fighting crime to make many liberal cities safe for their citizens.
- 0:24Speaker 1: The President giving a recap of the historic gear saying
- 0:28Speaker 1: it this way at the White House.
- 0:30Speaker 2: We ended Biden's stagflation. We were in stagflation. That's a disaster.
- 0:34Speaker 2: That's far worse than inflation. As you know, he had
- 0:37Speaker 2: the biggest inflation in the history of our country. They
- 0:40Speaker 2: say forty eight years, pick your choice, but they had
- 0:43Speaker 2: the biggest inflation in the history of our country. We
- 0:46Speaker 2: have it right down to a normal number. Now we're
- 0:48Speaker 2: going to get it even a little bit lower. Created
- 0:51Speaker 2: super high What we've done with growth is incredible. We
- 0:57Speaker 2: created super high economic growth and America is booming.
- 1:01Speaker 3: It's booming.
- 1:01Speaker 2: There are thousands of businesses right now that are being built.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Many of the biggest factories in the world are being
- 1:08Speaker 2: built right in our country. They're not going to other countries,
- 1:11Speaker 2: they're leaving other countries. Fourth Quarter GDP is on track
- 1:14Speaker 2: to pass perhaps much more than five percent growth. And
- 1:18Speaker 2: that's despite the fact that we had a Democrat shut down.
- 1:21Speaker 2: They shut down our country, and we had five percent.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Nobody's in this room has ever heard about five percent.
- 1:26Speaker 2: I think it could be twenty percent if we do
- 1:29Speaker 2: it right. If we don't, every time we have good numbers,
- 1:32Speaker 2: they raise interest rates.
- 1:34Speaker 3: It shouldn't do.
- 1:35Speaker 2: In the old days, if you had good numbers, they'd
- 1:37Speaker 2: lower interest rates or they wouldn't do anything. Here, they
- 1:39Speaker 2: try and kill it. They was trying and kill success
- 1:43Speaker 2: over the last twenty twenty five years.
- 1:45Speaker 3: That's the way.
- 1:46Speaker 2: In the old days, if you had good numbers, the
- 1:48Speaker 2: market would go through the roof. Today, if you have
- 1:50Speaker 2: good numbers, the market goes down. But by the way,
- 1:53Speaker 2: we've had the best stock market in history, the best
- 1:56Speaker 2: four h one k's in history.
- 1:58Speaker 3: And we inherit had a mess.
- 2:01Speaker 2: The numbers that we inherited or were way up, and
- 2:04Speaker 2: now we brought them almost all of them way down now.
- 2:08Speaker 1: President Trump also talked more about the mess that he
- 2:10Speaker 1: inherited from Biden and what he has done to clean
- 2:13Speaker 1: it up.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Inherited a terrible, terrible mess between the border between all
- 2:19Speaker 2: the problems, the whole country was falling apart. And in
- 2:22Speaker 2: twelve months, less than twelve months, I mean in twelve months,
- 2:25Speaker 2: we have the strongest border we've ever had. We have
- 2:28Speaker 2: prices that are much much lower than they were for
- 2:31Speaker 2: the last We inherited, very high prices we inherited. Remember
- 2:36Speaker 2: this inflation was at a historic hyeh. We had never
- 2:40Speaker 2: had inflation like that. They say forty eight years, But
- 2:43Speaker 2: whether it's forty eight years or ever, we had the
- 2:46Speaker 2: highest inflation in my opinion, that we've ever had. Prices
- 2:50Speaker 2: because of.
- 2:50Speaker 3: That were very high. I inherited. We brought down eggs immediately.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Remember the first news conference, they were screaming at me
- 2:57Speaker 2: about eggs. I was in the position for two and this.
- 3:01Speaker 2: We brought eggs down to lower than what they were before.
- 3:04Speaker 2: And by the way, they continue that way.
- 3:06Speaker 3: We brought the.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Prices down from when I came into office and from
- 3:09Speaker 2: what Biden had way down. We're going to bring them
- 3:13Speaker 2: down further. But the job we did is a miracle.
- 3:16Speaker 2: One of the reasons I'm doing this today is to
- 3:18Speaker 2: explain we inherited a mess, and we've made it a beautiful, beautiful.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Picture We've made it a beautiful, beautiful picture. What does
- 3:28Speaker 1: that picture actually look like President Trump's first year, And
- 3:33Speaker 1: let's just talk about it. By the numbers, one hundred
- 3:36Speaker 1: and twenty nine regulations cut for every one new rule translation,
- 3:43Speaker 1: more than two hundred and eleven billion saved. Twenty one
- 3:47Speaker 1: percent is the decrease in overdoses in this country as well.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Eight major wars have ended in the last year under
- 3:56Speaker 1: President Trump and twenty eight executive orders have been issued,
- 4:02Speaker 1: and a sixty percent decrease in VA backlog. That is
- 4:08Speaker 1: something that every veteran should be thankful for. Eight straight
- 4:13Speaker 1: months of zero releases at the border, seventy percent decrease
- 4:19Speaker 1: in inflation, and one hundred percent of new jobs to
- 4:24Speaker 1: American born workers. This is just some of what the
- 4:28Speaker 1: present is talking about. And he said, yes, part of
- 4:32Speaker 1: it is putting Americans first, and that includes dealing with
- 4:36Speaker 1: reverse migration.
- 4:38Speaker 2: For the first time in fifty years, we are now
- 4:40Speaker 2: seeing reverse migration where we're getting because we're getting all
- 4:46Speaker 2: of these illegal people out, people.
- 4:49Speaker 3: That came in illegally.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Many cases, they are criminals in many many cases.
- 4:53Speaker 3: You remember when they used to say.
- 4:54Speaker 2: That the people that come into our country as immigrants
- 4:59Speaker 2: are very nic nice people.
- 5:00Speaker 3: They're wonderful people. They don't commit crime. No, they make
- 5:03Speaker 3: our criminals look like babies.
- 5:05Speaker 2: They make our Hell's Angels look like the sweetest people
- 5:10Speaker 2: on earth. The Hell's Angels are now considered a nice,
- 5:13Speaker 2: high quality person.
- 5:15Speaker 1: The President talking about exactly why I was elected and
- 5:19Speaker 1: also what he's fighting for. He also talked about the
- 5:22Speaker 1: other big thing, and that is dealing with our deficit
- 5:25Speaker 1: and the big beautiful bill and big tax cuts for Americans,
- 5:29Speaker 1: something the media will forget to tell you about.
- 5:32Speaker 2: All together, we signed one big beautiful bill. I call
- 5:35Speaker 2: it the Great, Big Beautiful Bill, delivering the largest tax
- 5:38Speaker 2: cuts in history. No tax on tips, no tax on
- 5:40Speaker 2: Social Security, no tax on overtime. We made interest in
- 5:45Speaker 2: Carloan's tax deductible for US built automobiles only, So if
- 5:50Speaker 2: you build a if you buy an automobile.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Built in the United States.
- 5:53Speaker 2: We're not doing it for Germany and Canada and different places.
- 5:57Speaker 3: We're doing it all ev it's built here.
- 5:59Speaker 2: We want them to be built here. A lot of
- 6:02Speaker 2: the Canadian auto plants are closing and they're moving into
- 6:06Speaker 2: the United States. Same thing with Mexico, same thing with Germany,
- 6:09Speaker 2: and same thing with Japan and other countries. They're moving
- 6:11Speaker 2: into the United States because of tariffs because.
- 6:14Speaker 3: They don't want to pay the tariffs. It's too much.
- 6:17Speaker 3: They can't pay the tariffs, so they're coming here.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Nothing different than what other smart countries did, but it
- 6:23Speaker 2: works better for us under my leadership. It's not done properly,
- 6:28Speaker 2: but it's done properly. We have again more plants being
- 6:34Speaker 2: built than at any time in the history of our country,
- 6:37Speaker 2: past the largest spending cuts in American history, and that
- 6:40Speaker 2: was true of my first you know, we had a
- 6:41Speaker 2: tremendous first term.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Also, we rebuilt our military.
- 6:45Speaker 2: We had one of the best We had the best
- 6:47Speaker 2: economy in the history of our country. But we're blowing
- 6:51Speaker 2: it away now. Where this stuff starts opening up, you're
- 6:54Speaker 2: not going to see anything like it probably ever.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Again.
- 6:57Speaker 2: We slashed the federal budget deficit by twenty seven percent
- 7:03Speaker 2: in a single youth.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Twenty seven percent in a single year is how much
- 7:09Speaker 1: Donald Trump slash the federal budget deficit. This is why
- 7:15Speaker 1: so many are going after him, why they hate him
- 7:17Speaker 1: so much, because they want to stop him at all costs,
- 7:21Speaker 1: because it is a threat to the democratic leadership. Their
- 7:24Speaker 1: power and buying votes through government programs. There is anarchy
- 7:30Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party right now, and they have gone
- 7:33Speaker 1: to war, not with the people that they should be
- 7:36Speaker 1: going to war with the criminals who are being arrested
- 7:38Speaker 1: in this country, but instead they're now going to war
- 7:41Speaker 1: with ICE. Now there is a civil war within the
- 7:44Speaker 1: Democratic Party of their trying to decide do we just
- 7:48Speaker 1: straight up be honest and say we want to abolish
- 7:50Speaker 1: ICE or do we kind of lie a little bit. Now,
- 7:54Speaker 1: before I get to that, I want you to hear
- 7:56Speaker 1: about the arrests that have happened since yester day in Minnesota.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I want you to listen to what the federal government
- 8:04Speaker 1: has put out about the arrest since yesterday, as Democrats
- 8:10Speaker 1: say that ICE need to get the f out of
- 8:12Speaker 1: their city, the f out of their state, and there
- 8:16Speaker 1: needs to be a civil war against the ICE agents.
- 8:19Speaker 1: This is also coming as the Democratic Party is saying
- 8:22Speaker 1: in the future they may go out and arrest ICE
- 8:26Speaker 1: agents and hold them accountable for the crimes they claim
- 8:30Speaker 1: they're committing.
- 8:31Speaker 4: Now, so who are they actually out arresting? Well, listen
- 8:35Speaker 4: to this.
- 8:36Speaker 1: And this is again just since yesterday.
- 8:39Speaker 5: He came here. Today, I printed out a couple of
- 8:43Speaker 5: a few individuals that I'd like to share with you,
- 8:47Speaker 5: individuals that were arrested since yesterday. These three individuals were
- 8:52Speaker 5: arrested just since yesterday. Keep in mind, now these individuals
- 8:56Speaker 5: were walking the streets of Minneapolis with impunity as of yesterday.
- 9:03Speaker 5: We've got Hovei Kumaiye, a criminal illegal alien from waus A,
- 9:08Speaker 5: registered sex offender convicted of sex offense against a child,
- 9:12Speaker 5: including fondling and failure to register as a sex offender.
- 9:17Speaker 5: This individual was walking the streets of Minneapolis just yesterday.
- 9:22Speaker 5: This individual right here, Uh, it's it's very interesting that
- 9:26Speaker 5: I haven't seen this individual or many others like him
- 9:30Speaker 5: reported on very much by the local news media or
- 9:35Speaker 5: the state news media. That's that's uh, that's interesting. But
- 9:37Speaker 5: let's don't quit there. Let's let's get now, you can't
- 9:40Speaker 5: let's uh, let's let's continue here. We've got Samuel Ravelo Hernandez,
- 9:44Speaker 5: a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala charged with rape and
- 9:49Speaker 5: lude or lascivious.
- 9:51Speaker 4: Acts with a minor.
- 9:52Speaker 5: Now, think about that for just a second, rape and
- 9:56Speaker 5: then on top of that, loude lasivious acts of the miner.
- 9:58Speaker 5: This individual is walking the streets of the min Dneapolis
- 10:00Speaker 5: with impunity just yesterday. Let's don't quit there, Let's keep
- 10:06Speaker 5: on there. We've got Annabelle Gomez, a criminal illegal alien
- 10:10Speaker 5: from Honduras, previously arrested for criminal sexual conduct and domestic assault.
- 10:15Speaker 5: Other convictions include disorderly conduct and driving under the influence
- 10:20Speaker 5: of liquor walk in the streets. As of yesterday, these
- 10:24Speaker 5: are just three three that I decided to print out.
- 10:27Speaker 3: That a whole stack of them.
- 10:29Speaker 4: There's a whole stack of these.
- 10:30Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, when we look over the
- 10:33Speaker 5: past year at the ten thousand that have been arrested
- 10:36Speaker 5: here in Minneapolis and Minnesota, that stack is enormous. These
- 10:41Speaker 5: are the kinds of individuals this operation focuses on individuals
- 10:46Speaker 5: who escalate situations and in danger others. Again, our neighbors,
- 10:50Speaker 5: our friends, our colleagues, and MA and PA America.
- 10:55Speaker 4: This is exactly exactly.
- 10:57Speaker 5: Why Interior Enforcement exists, to remove dangerous criminals from our communities,
- 11:03Speaker 5: remove dangerous illegal alien criminals from our communities.
- 11:08Speaker 1: It's all now, these are the stories that Left doesn't
- 11:11Speaker 1: want you know about, because this is all about a
- 11:14Speaker 1: civil war.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Quote.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Trump's politicalization of the DOJ will not deter Mayor Fry,
- 11:18Speaker 1: Governor Waltz, and A. G Ellison from doing their jobs
- 11:21Speaker 1: to protect the people in Minnesota. I stand with them
- 11:24Speaker 1: against these blatant abuse of power. So let's just be clear.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Senator Schumer is fighting hard to keep criminals like Paljong,
- 11:36Speaker 1: a rapist and child molester in the country. He's been
- 11:40Speaker 1: convicted of sex offenses against child, fondling, burglary, larceny, and rape.
- 11:45Speaker 1: He was arrested in Minnesota. This individual is who Chuck
- 11:51Speaker 1: Schumer is defending and the Democratic.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Party that's where the civil war comes in.
- 11:57Speaker 1: There are other Democrats who are like, we can't say that, pop, Like,
- 12:00Speaker 1: we know we want to abolish ICE, and we are
- 12:03Speaker 1: the same party that says we want to get rid
- 12:04Speaker 1: of police officers. But now how do you actually accomplish this?
- 12:10Speaker 1: That is the debate they're having on TV.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Now.
- 12:13Speaker 4: They're going back.
- 12:14Speaker 1: To their old playbook, which is to demonize, to humanize,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and try to convince Americans that ICE agents are the Gestapo,
- 12:23Speaker 1: that ICE agents are not crime fighters, not actually going
- 12:27Speaker 1: after the worst that are out there that are legal immigrants,
- 12:31Speaker 1: you know, the rapists and the murderers and the sex
- 12:33Speaker 1: traffickers and the drug dealers.
- 12:36Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
- 12:37Speaker 1: They want you to believe that somehow that is ICE.
- 12:41Speaker 1: And the do gooders are the people that broke into
- 12:43Speaker 1: this country that are also committing heinous crimes. Take a
- 12:48Speaker 1: listen to Chris van Holland. This is what he had
- 12:52Speaker 1: to say, is he's trying to rewrite history. And there's
- 12:55Speaker 1: a theme that is happening. This is orchestrated by the
- 12:59Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Listen to what he said about the deranged
- 13:04Speaker 1: leftists that are impeding ICE operations and what he calls them.
- 13:10Speaker 6: One of the things that gives me great hope, even
- 13:12Speaker 6: amidst all of this division and chaos owned by Donald Trump,
- 13:17Speaker 6: are the patriots in places like Minneapolis who are standing
- 13:22Speaker 6: up blowing whistles to protect their neighbors, blowing whistles on
- 13:27Speaker 6: the illegal tactics of ICE. And I was just at
- 13:31Speaker 6: a rally in Hagerstown, Maryland today, hundreds of people coming
- 13:35Speaker 6: out because ICE is signaled that they might use a
- 13:38Speaker 6: facility in Hagerstown for their purposes, and people were coming
- 13:42Speaker 6: out to say no.
- 13:43Speaker 4: You listen to Van Holland.
- 13:46Speaker 1: One of the things that gives me great hope are
- 13:49Speaker 1: the patriots in places like Minneapolis who are standing up
- 13:52Speaker 1: blowing whistles to protect their neighbors. Now who are they
- 13:55Speaker 1: actually protecting? They are protecting the child rapists and the murderers,
- 14:00Speaker 1: the worst among us that ICE are going out to get.
- 14:05Speaker 1: And why are they having to do that because in
- 14:08Speaker 1: Minneapolis the local government refuses to work with ICE. There
- 14:12Speaker 1: have been more than five hundred people that could have
- 14:14Speaker 1: been handed over to ICE that were in custody of
- 14:17Speaker 1: the Minneapolis police departments.
- 14:20Speaker 4: And what do they do.
- 14:22Speaker 1: They let them go instead of actually holding them for
- 14:25Speaker 1: ICE to be held accountable for their actions. This, again,
- 14:29Speaker 1: is the Democratic Party. You take a listen to the
- 14:33Speaker 1: Saint Paul mayor. You may not have heard much about
- 14:36Speaker 1: her compared to the mayor of Minneapolis who said to
- 14:40Speaker 1: get the f out of our city referring to ICE agents,
- 14:43Speaker 1: But she's just about as radical as he is. And
- 14:46Speaker 1: I want you to hear what she said about the
- 14:50Speaker 1: targeting of church members that happened over the weekend. Don Lemon,
- 14:55Speaker 1: the former CNN radical was there as well, and here's
- 14:59Speaker 1: what she said.
- 15:00Speaker 7: Curious, how you see this?
- 15:02Speaker 8: Do you think that some of those protesters may have
- 15:05Speaker 8: gone beyond their First Amendment rights and going into a
- 15:07Speaker 8: church like that and broke the law.
- 15:10Speaker 9: I will say that the ICE has led the way
- 15:12Speaker 9: in their charge of going on to school properties and
- 15:16Speaker 9: detaining people from places that should be just as well kept.
- 15:19Speaker 9: Say great, and so you know, we would have we
- 15:21Speaker 9: responded the exact same way we would have at any
- 15:23Speaker 9: place of worship that our PD came in. And you know,
- 15:27Speaker 9: because this is an ongoing investigation, I can't comment more
- 15:30Speaker 9: than that, but I would say we would have handled
- 15:31Speaker 9: this in any other way in any other place of worship.
- 15:34Speaker 4: In any other place of worship.
- 15:36Speaker 1: So there's the Saint Paul Mayer who's done nothing about
- 15:39Speaker 1: the deranged mobs that are targeting a church during their
- 15:43Speaker 1: church service and then defending these far leftists and then
- 15:47Speaker 1: blames Ice. Ice has led the way. We responded the
- 15:51Speaker 1: exact same way we would have at any place of worship,
- 15:55Speaker 1: Meaning that if these radicals want to come into a
- 15:58Speaker 1: church during a and terrorize those parishioners in Minneapolis and
- 16:04Speaker 1: in Saint Paul, they're in favor of it. Take a
- 16:08Speaker 1: listen to Democratic Senator Tina Smith refusing to answer a
- 16:12Speaker 1: simple question, and the simple question is, Hey, these far
- 16:17Speaker 1: left antis mobs should they be targeting churches during service.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Here's what the senator had to say.
- 16:24Speaker 10: Sir, yesterday we saw a group of protesters go into
- 16:28Speaker 10: the city's church to protest a pastor that they believe
- 16:31Speaker 10: is an ice agent. That has, of course generated considerable
- 16:35Speaker 10: criticism from those who say this was a desecration of
- 16:39Speaker 10: a place of worship. Would you urge protesters to do
- 16:42Speaker 10: more of what we're seeing here or do you think
- 16:45Speaker 10: that is counterproductive for what they're trying to achieve.
- 16:50Speaker 11: So almost all of the protests and demonstrations that we've
- 16:53Speaker 11: seen in Minnesota, and especially in Minneapolis and Saint Paul,
- 16:57Speaker 11: have been peaceful, have been a non violent, and of
- 17:00Speaker 11: course that is the right response. What all of our
- 17:02Speaker 11: messages have been is basically, don't take the bait, don't
- 17:06Speaker 11: fuel the president's narrative, don't fuel Donald Trump's narrative that
- 17:12Speaker 11: is that this is a dangerous place. Let's show them
- 17:15Speaker 11: how we stand up for each other and stand up
- 17:17Speaker 11: for our neighbors. And that's what makes me so proud
- 17:20Speaker 11: of Minnesota.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Right you listen to that Democratic center, She now says,
- 17:25Speaker 1: that's what makes her so proud. Almost all of the
- 17:28Speaker 1: protests and demonstrations that we've seen in Minnesota have been peaceful.
- 17:31Speaker 4: So she's telling you an admitting.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, some of them have gotten completely out of hand,
- 17:36Speaker 1: but we're just so proud of all these people that
- 17:38Speaker 1: just keep showing up, and we're just so proud that
- 17:42Speaker 1: they're out there terrorizing people in church. Democratic Minneapolis City
- 17:47Speaker 1: Council member telling this lie about ICE agents, And again
- 17:53Speaker 1: this goes back to the playbook of dehumanizing and attacking
- 17:58Speaker 1: ICE agents, trying to turn them into the bad guys,
- 18:01Speaker 1: into the Gestapo. Remember, you have a mayor and a
- 18:05Speaker 1: governor that have not only disparagized agents, but they've said
- 18:09Speaker 1: they want a civil war and they can get the
- 18:12Speaker 1: f out of their city. Well, now you've got a
- 18:14Speaker 1: Democratic Minneapolis City Council member saying this.
- 18:18Speaker 12: Every single person in the city understands that this is
- 18:20Speaker 12: not here for public safety, right Jake. We've had the
- 18:24Speaker 12: first murder in the city of Minneapolis was perpetrated by
- 18:26Speaker 12: federal agents. If this was about safety, ICE would be
- 18:29Speaker 12: out of our city. And so I think we are
- 18:30Speaker 12: seeing every single individual from every single corner walk of
- 18:33Speaker 12: life in this city start to understand that this is
- 18:36Speaker 12: not about safety. And that we are trying to do
- 18:38Speaker 12: something here in our city because it's not okay.
- 18:41Speaker 1: So to be clear, that is a Democratic city council
- 18:44Speaker 1: member telling a lie to a Jake Tapper. Notice how
- 18:48Speaker 1: he doesn't say a word to stop him. A disgusting
- 18:52Speaker 1: lit to smear Ice agents who are already under attack
- 18:55Speaker 1: while trying to arrest rapists, murderers, and pedophiles. This city
- 19:00Speaker 1: council members said this was just if this was about safety,
- 19:04Speaker 1: Ice would be out of our city. No Ice is
- 19:09Speaker 1: actually doing the job that you refuse to do. Minnesota
- 19:13Speaker 1: Democrats are protecting the criminal illegals, just like the fraudsters
- 19:18Speaker 1: who are there that have stolen countless dollars from American taxpayers.
- 19:23Speaker 1: You've got deranged individuals out there, just like Stacy Abrams
- 19:28Speaker 1: invoking Hitler and Chavez when trying to smear President Trump.
- 19:32Speaker 1: This is part of the Democratic Party. Stacy Abrams saying
- 19:37Speaker 1: it this way in an interview.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Listen carefully to the words she chooses.
- 19:42Speaker 7: Economic populism raised up Hitler in Germany, it raised up
- 19:47Speaker 7: Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, and we watched it raise up
- 19:50Speaker 7: Trump and his regime right here in America.
- 19:53Speaker 1: That is Stacy Abrams invoking Hitler and Chavez when smearing
- 19:58Speaker 1: President Trump. Why is she allowed to say this and
- 20:02Speaker 1: get away with it in her own party? Because they
- 20:06Speaker 1: believe it. They are going to continue to advocate and
- 20:14Speaker 1: to completely go after Donald Trump and any Republican and
- 20:18Speaker 1: ICE agents in law enforcements because they do not want
- 20:23Speaker 1: law and order in America. John Asoff saying this about
- 20:28Speaker 1: what is happening in Minnesota, and did he condemn the violence?
- 20:32Speaker 1: Does he condemn what's happening with ICE agents? Well, here
- 20:35Speaker 1: he is in his own words. I don't know pastor.
- 20:40Speaker 13: Where it is in scripture that it says, deny care
- 20:46Speaker 13: to the sick, wow, that it says take from those
- 20:51Speaker 13: with the least to give to those with the most,
- 20:55Speaker 13: that it says violate the house of worship to hunt
- 20:58Speaker 13: down the refugee.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Notice, he has no problem with hunting down the pastor
- 21:03Speaker 1: who they think is connected to law and order. He
- 21:07Speaker 1: won't condemn the far left, the anti ICE mob that
- 21:09Speaker 1: targeted a church in Saint Paul during service and instead
- 21:13Speaker 1: slanders ICE for arresting criminal illegals. So this is the
- 21:17Speaker 1: Democratic Party fill with Marxist socialists and communists who wanted
- 21:22Speaker 1: to fund all law enforcement and wanted to fund ice.
- 21:27Speaker 1: This is why every election is so important. It's also
- 21:30Speaker 1: the reason why so many voted for Donald Trump because
- 21:33Speaker 1: they want law and order.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Now.
- 21:34Speaker 1: Thank goodness, Donald Trump is not giving in to the
- 21:37Speaker 1: radical left. Instead, he's holding them accountable. And as the
- 21:41Speaker 1: left continues to tell you what they believe in, I
- 21:45Speaker 1: say one thing. Listen to them. This is what they believe,
- 21:50Speaker 1: this is what they want for this country. This is
- 21:53Speaker 1: how much they hate law enforcement. When they tell you,
- 21:57Speaker 1: believe them, and it's our job to call them out.
- 22:01Speaker 1: It's a new year, twenty twenty six. You probably heard
- 22:04Speaker 1: the name bitcoin and cryptocurrency. So the question so many
- 22:08Speaker 1: people have is is it safe?
- 22:10Speaker 4: And is it.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Something that I should be invested in. It's a question
- 22:14Speaker 1: I want to get answered for you today in joining
- 22:16Speaker 1: me now to talk about that as a co founder
- 22:18Speaker 1: of Bitcoin IRA, Chris Kline, Chris, I appreciate you being here,
- 22:22Speaker 1: and it is pretty cool to see what's happened in
- 22:25Speaker 1: the crypto space. It has become normal. It now can
- 22:28Speaker 1: be a part of your IRA. The federal government has
- 22:31Speaker 1: changed the rules. They're accepting cryptocurrency like it's a stock.
- 22:35Speaker 14: Yes, absolutely, and it's really driven itself into a mainstream space.
- 22:39Speaker 14: I remember a decade ago when we first started bitcoin
- 22:41Speaker 14: IRA and everybody was like, are you crazy, kid, You're
- 22:45Speaker 14: putting bitcoin in retirement accounts? Is this even possible? And
- 22:48Speaker 14: you fast forward to where we're at today, where countries
- 22:50Speaker 14: are building stockpiles, corporations are building stockpiles. Strategy, for example,
- 22:54Speaker 14: is pretty much its entire business models around this. It's
- 22:57Speaker 14: a piece of diversification that every major player in the
- 23:01Speaker 14: space and economics is looking at, and so should too,
- 23:03Speaker 14: the individual sovereignty of the average American looking to put
- 23:06Speaker 14: it inside of their retirement.
- 23:07Speaker 1: You guys actually have a really cool stat that you
- 23:09Speaker 1: told me about at dinner, and that is that your
- 23:12Speaker 1: clients seventy five percent were born before nineteen seventy six.
- 23:16Speaker 1: So the idea that you may be missed out on
- 23:19Speaker 1: this or if you're a little older, it's a young
- 23:21Speaker 1: man's game and crypto that is also just not true.
- 23:24Speaker 14: That's definitely one of the myths I wanted to come
- 23:26Speaker 14: to bunk with you in your audience. Isn't this isn't
- 23:28Speaker 14: our grandfather's economy and grandfathers are buying bitcoin and putting
- 23:32Speaker 14: it inside of their retirement for long term holdings, especially
- 23:35Speaker 14: now that they're thinking about inheritance and handing some of
- 23:37Speaker 14: these things down. But yeah, that was actually shocking to me.
- 23:39Speaker 14: We've discovered that in twenty eighteen that seventy five percent
- 23:43Speaker 14: of them were older than my parents' generation. And what
- 23:46Speaker 14: we found from surveying all of them was this is
- 23:49Speaker 14: something that they think is new age and that I
- 23:51Speaker 14: think almost every American, especially older ones, has a genuine
- 23:54Speaker 14: concern of watching what's happened to the US dollar over
- 23:57Speaker 14: the last four or five decades. And there's always been
- 23:59Speaker 14: gold and sol a potential hedge, land, real estate, these
- 24:02Speaker 14: scarce assets and bitcoin. While it may seem oh that's
- 24:05Speaker 14: digital and it's different, it's scarce. There's only twenty one
- 24:08Speaker 14: million assets bitcoin that will ever be mined. Nineteen and
- 24:11Speaker 14: a half million have been mined so far, and you
- 24:14Speaker 14: and I actually won't live, our kids will probably live
- 24:16Speaker 14: to see the last one get mined. This is something
- 24:18Speaker 14: you know. We're in a world of abundance since I
- 24:19Speaker 14: was born in nineteen eighty five. It's abundance. We just
- 24:21Speaker 14: printed and printed and printed more. This is a moment
- 24:24Speaker 14: in time where we may be able to revert back
- 24:25Speaker 14: to scarcity, and there'll be a day we're just saying
- 24:28Speaker 14: I have one Bitcoin will be life changing.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Chris.
- 24:30Speaker 1: I hope a lot of people that are watching this,
- 24:32Speaker 1: you guys, will go and find out more. It is
- 24:34Speaker 1: amazing what you can do in your retirement account now,
- 24:37Speaker 1: just like your other investments with bitcoin cryptocurrency. Find out

- 24:51Speaker 1: can do for your portfolio. Homeland Security Secretary Christy no
- 24:57Speaker 1: saying on Monday that federal authorities ever rest did more
- 25:01Speaker 1: than ten thousand criminal illegal aliens in Minneapolis alone. She
- 25:08Speaker 1: added that investigators have opened what she described as a
- 25:11Speaker 1: sweeping fraud probe totally at least nineteen billion, sharpening her
- 25:17Speaker 1: criticism of the Minnesota Governor Waltz and the Minneapolis Mayor
- 25:21Speaker 1: Jacob Fry for what she called a failure to protect
- 25:25Speaker 1: public safety. In a statement, Nomes said the Department of
- 25:29Speaker 1: Homeland Security law enforcement officers carried out the arrests and
- 25:33Speaker 1: that about three thousand were made in the past six
- 25:37Speaker 1: weeks alone. She said those arrests included murderers, rapists, child
- 25:42Speaker 1: sex offenders and other violent criminals.
- 25:46Speaker 4: But the media, they don't want you to know this story.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Christy Nome is a great example of one of those
- 25:53Speaker 1: that the so called media loves to go after. And
- 25:56Speaker 1: on Sunday morning on Face the Nation on CBA, Yes,
- 26:00Speaker 1: there was this exchange and it was amazing because Christy
- 26:04Speaker 1: Nome took the anchor to the woodshed over her own lives.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I want you to listen to the DHS secretary destroying
- 26:13Speaker 1: CBS News's Margaret Brennan over the ice arrests and listened
- 26:18Speaker 1: to the bias that was on the show that she
- 26:21Speaker 1: didn't allow to become reality.
- 26:23Speaker 8: You just said millions, what's the breakdown of the percentage
- 26:26Speaker 8: of those who you have in custody who've actually committed
- 26:29Speaker 8: a criminal offense versus just the civil infraction.
- 26:32Speaker 15: Every single individual has committed a crime, but seventy percent
- 26:36Speaker 15: of them have committed or have charges against them on
- 26:40Speaker 15: violent crimes and crimes that they are charged with or
- 26:43Speaker 15: have been convicted of that have come from other countries
- 26:45Speaker 15: that are here illegally. First of all, and then they
- 26:48Speaker 15: have committed a criminal act while they've been here or
- 26:50Speaker 15: in their home countries as well.
- 26:52Speaker 8: It's not seventy percent, Yes it is. It absolutely is
- 26:56Speaker 8: seventy percent of everyone. You guys, did you changing your percentage?
- 26:59Speaker 8: You can choose what numbers you think work, but that
- 27:02Speaker 8: is the facts is that seventy percent of the people
- 27:04Speaker 8: that we have detained have charges against them or have
- 27:08Speaker 8: been convicted of charges, and they need to be brought
- 27:11Speaker 8: to justice. And we're going to keep doing that no
- 27:13Speaker 8: matter how much you guys keep lying and don't tell
- 27:15Speaker 8: the public the truth. It absolutely is that these law
- 27:18Speaker 8: enforcement officers are out there every day doing the work
- 27:21Speaker 8: to protect the American people, and they will keep doing
- 27:23Speaker 8: that because they believe in enforcing the law, which is
- 27:26Speaker 8: exactly what President Trump has charged them with.
- 27:28Speaker 1: You listen there to again the lies coming from CBS News.
- 27:33Speaker 1: They try to spend the numbers, they try to say
- 27:35Speaker 1: what she said is not accurate, and then when they're
- 27:38Speaker 1: called out on it, you notice how quiet Brennan shut
- 27:41Speaker 1: down because she knows that this is the actual number,
- 27:46Speaker 1: Which also brings us to another part of this story.
- 27:49Speaker 1: You may not know the headline that I'm about to
- 27:51Speaker 1: give you, and that is the DOJ is investigating the
- 27:55Speaker 1: Minnesota governor as well as the Minneapolis mayor.
- 28:00Speaker 4: Their boat to crime.
- 28:01Speaker 1: The probe is a quote intimidation tactic, and the liberal
- 28:04Speaker 1: media is more than happy to spend it that way.
- 28:07Speaker 4: Exactly for them.
- 28:09Speaker 1: CNN doing a perfect job of giving you state sponsored
- 28:13Speaker 1: media from the governor and the mayor, as they reported
- 28:17Speaker 1: on this story between Jake Tapper and Caitlin Collins. Listen
- 28:22Speaker 1: to how they tried to explain the story to you
- 28:25Speaker 1: so that you think that somehow Donald Trump is the
- 28:28Speaker 1: one doing something wrong, not the mayor who said that
- 28:31Speaker 1: we should get the Ice Agency f out of his city,
- 28:36Speaker 1: or the governor who said it's civil war. And let's
- 28:39Speaker 1: also be clear, why are they saying that, Because billions
- 28:43Speaker 1: of dollars have been coming into their state and have
- 28:46Speaker 1: been disappearing through corruption, fraud, and much of the money
- 28:50Speaker 1: actually going directly to terrorist organizations like Al Shabab. There
- 28:54Speaker 1: is a massive fraud in the entire state, and they
- 28:58Speaker 1: don't want the federal govern they're trying to clean it up.
- 29:02Speaker 1: So CNN says, yeah, we'll give you cover to that,
- 29:05Speaker 1: no problem.
- 29:06Speaker 16: I've confirmed that the Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Governor
- 29:10Speaker 16: Tim Wallas and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye, A source familiar
- 29:14Speaker 16: has told me that that confirms what was reported earlier
- 29:17Speaker 16: by CBS, and essentially, Jake, as we're still trying to
- 29:20Speaker 16: figure out what exactly the contours of this investigation are,
- 29:24Speaker 16: we have a pretty good idea so far. And we
- 29:26Speaker 16: heard from the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch earlier this
- 29:29Speaker 16: week after we had heard these comments from Mayor fry
- 29:32Speaker 16: from Governor Walls following the shooting of a woman by
- 29:35Speaker 16: an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Earlier this week, Todd Blanche
- 29:39Speaker 16: was saying that ICE operates in a bunch of different
- 29:41Speaker 16: counties without incidents going on. He referred to what's happening
- 29:45Speaker 16: in Minnesota as an insurrection and said it's the direct
- 29:48Speaker 16: result of a failed governor and an all caps terrible
- 29:51Speaker 16: mayor who he accused of encouraging violence against law enforcement,
- 29:55Speaker 16: something that Todd Blanch called disgusting, and he said, I'm
- 29:57Speaker 16: focused on stopping you from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. So, Jake,
- 30:02Speaker 16: I think that gives us a pretty good sense of
- 30:04Speaker 16: what exactly it is that the Justice Department is at
- 30:06Speaker 16: least trying to base this investigation off of where it
- 30:09Speaker 16: goes It's not really clear right now, but this does
- 30:12Speaker 16: come as the FBI director and the Deputy Attorney General
- 30:15Speaker 16: we're seen in Minneapolis today as they've been surging law
- 30:18Speaker 16: enforcement to the area, as those tensions have only continued
- 30:21Speaker 16: since the shooting of Renee Good. But it does show you, Jake,
- 30:24Speaker 16: who the Justice Department is focusing their targets on when
- 30:27Speaker 16: it comes to the aftermath of the shooting of Renee
- 30:31Speaker 16: Good here and right now, it is the Minnesota Governor
- 30:33Speaker 16: Tim Walls and the mayor here, both of whom have
- 30:36Speaker 16: been criticized by multiple White House officials for their comments,
- 30:39Speaker 16: including Mayor Fry telling Ice to get the f out
- 30:41Speaker 16: of Minneapolis the day that she was killed, and Governor
- 30:45Speaker 16: Walls as well making multiple public comments talking about the
- 30:48Speaker 16: massive federal presence in their state. And so now it's
- 30:52Speaker 16: an investigation by the Justice Department. It's not clear yet, Jake,
- 30:56Speaker 16: that either of them have actually been served subpoenas as
- 30:59Speaker 16: a result of this, and where this is going to go.
- 31:01Speaker 16: It seems to be in the very early stages of
- 31:03Speaker 16: whatever investigation this is, but that is what we have
- 31:07Speaker 16: learned so far, Jake.
- 31:09Speaker 1: You notice there they didn't talk about the actual problems
- 31:13Speaker 1: in Minnesota.
- 31:14Speaker 4: They did not talk about the fraud.
- 31:15Speaker 1: They didn't talk about the millions that turn into billions
- 31:19Speaker 1: of dollars that have gone missing from the taxpayers.
- 31:22Speaker 4: No, no, Instead, what did they do there?
- 31:24Speaker 1: They made up a totally different issue, and that was
- 31:28Speaker 1: some sort of retaliation or retribution as they described it
- 31:33Speaker 1: for a Trump administration they claim is angry. Yes, the
- 31:36Speaker 1: Trump administration, by the way, is angry, the angry that
- 31:38Speaker 1: billions of dollars of our tax dollars have gone missing
- 31:42Speaker 1: in corruption and fraud. That the governor and the mayor
- 31:44Speaker 1: looked the other way on purpose, Which brings us back
- 31:49Speaker 1: to Christino and what she had to say on Monday.
- 31:53Speaker 1: The federal authorities have not only arrested more than ten
- 31:55Speaker 1: thousand criminal legal aliens in Minneapolis, but she added that
- 32:00Speaker 1: investigators have open what she described as that sweeping fraud
- 32:03Speaker 1: probe totally at least nineteen billion, and then explaining it
- 32:08Speaker 1: very clearly, this is at the government's footsteps. This is
- 32:13Speaker 1: a defeat of the governor of Minnesota and the mayor
- 32:17Speaker 1: of Minneapolis. She also made it clear that the worst
- 32:21Speaker 1: of the worst are who they're targeting in Minnesota, and
- 32:24Speaker 1: we are finding the rapists, the child sex offenders, the
- 32:27Speaker 1: violent criminals, the murderers. Gno Ime writing this peace and
- 32:30Speaker 1: public safety in Minneapolis. We have arrested over ten thousand
- 32:35Speaker 1: criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children, and
- 32:40Speaker 1: raiding terror in Minneapolis because Tim Wall Jacob Fry refused
- 32:44Speaker 1: to protect their own people and instead protect criminals. Gnome continued.
- 32:49Speaker 1: In the last six weeks, our brave Department of Home
- 32:51Speaker 1: in Security Law Enforcement have arrested three thousand criminal illegal aliens,
- 32:56Speaker 1: including vicious murderers, rapist, child petiphi in incredibly dangerous individuals,
- 33:03Speaker 1: a huge victory for public safety. Gnoam also allegs massive
- 33:07Speaker 1: fraud in her own words, totally as she described it,
- 33:10Speaker 1: at least nineteen billion, and said Home in Security investigation
- 33:15Speaker 1: agents were conducting large scale investigations aimed at recovering money
- 33:20Speaker 1: and holding those responsible accountable know and by the way,
- 33:24Speaker 1: did not provide any details outside of that. Why well,
- 33:28Speaker 1: of course, because she doesn't want the criminals to know
- 33:30Speaker 1: what we're actually doing. But what she did say was this,
- 33:33Speaker 1: there is massive fraud in Minneapolis, at least nineteen billion,
- 33:37Speaker 1: and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
- 33:39Speaker 4: Our home.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Insecurity investigators are on the ground in Minneapolis conducting wide
- 33:43Speaker 1: scale investigations to get justice for the American people who
- 33:47Speaker 1: have been robbed blind. Now you notice she didn't say Minnesota.
- 33:50Speaker 1: She said nineteen billion in Minneapolis, one single city in America. DHS,
- 33:57Speaker 1: by the way, not releasing records, names, or other details. Why, because,
- 34:03Speaker 1: of course they don't want to help the criminals know
- 34:05Speaker 1: what's coming.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Now.
- 34:06Speaker 1: We also know that the Justice Department is investigating whether
- 34:09Speaker 1: Walt and Fry impeded federal immigration enforcement through public statements.
- 34:15Speaker 1: According to people familiar with that investigation, both Walt and
- 34:19Speaker 1: Fry have criticized the investigation, and of course, as you
- 34:22Speaker 1: heard from CNN earlier, they're describing it as an intimidation tactic. No,
- 34:27Speaker 1: it's an actual massive investigation. One other thing that's also
- 34:32Speaker 1: really interesting is a federal judge in Minneapolis has barred
- 34:35Speaker 1: DHS agents from arresting what they describe as peaceful protesters
- 34:40Speaker 1: who are not suspected of crimes or obstructing officers after
- 34:45Speaker 1: residents alleged violations of their constitucial rights while observing or
- 34:49Speaker 1: protesting immigration raids. Nomes fraud allegations also arrive against the
- 34:55Speaker 1: backdrop of Minnesota's long running Feeding Our Future case, high
- 35:00Speaker 1: profile federal investigation tied to pandemic era child nutrition programs.
- 35:06Speaker 1: What we know about this is shocking. Minnesota's Office of
- 35:09Speaker 1: the Legislative Auditor summarized that the US Department of Justice
- 35:13Speaker 1: has now charged not ten, not twenty, not thirty, not forty,
- 35:17Speaker 1: not fifty, not sixty, but seventy individuals between September of
- 35:22Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and February of twenty twenty four in
- 35:26Speaker 1: connection with US suspected two hundred and fifty million dollars
- 35:31Speaker 1: scheme involving federally funded nutrition programs, and said the alleged
- 35:37Speaker 1: fraud centered on the Minnesota nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Walt's
- 35:42Speaker 1: office previously said it had not received notice of the
- 35:46Speaker 1: Justice Department's investigation, while Fry said the probe appears aimed
- 35:52Speaker 1: at just intimidating him for opposing what he called dangerous
- 35:55Speaker 1: federal actions in his city. One thing is for sure,
- 36:00Speaker 1: the Trump administration is not backing down, and because of
- 36:04Speaker 1: President Trump's leadership, others are doing their jobs the way
- 36:08Speaker 1: they're supposed to. That includes Christy Nome, the FBI, and Cashpitel,
- 36:14Speaker 1: and many others who are now going to hold those
- 36:16Speaker 1: accountable in Minnesota for the crimes that they've committed and that,
- 36:21Speaker 1: my friends, is far from quote intimidation, even if CNN
- 36:26Speaker 1: lies to you and says otherwise. Make sure you share
