Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Media Spin vs. ICE Reality and the Civil War Erupting in the Democratic Party
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: There is anarchy and the Democratic Party right now, and
- 0:04Speaker 1: they have gone to war, not with the people that
- 0:07Speaker 1: they should be going to war with the criminals who
- 0:09Speaker 1: are being arrested in this country, but instead they're now
- 0:12Speaker 1: going to war with ICE. Now there is a civil
- 0:15Speaker 1: war within the Democratic Party of their trying to decide
- 0:19Speaker 1: do we just straight up be honest and say we
- 0:21Speaker 1: want to abolish ICE or do we kind of lie
- 0:24Speaker 1: a little bit. Now, before I get to that, I
- 0:27Speaker 1: want you to hear about the arrests that have happened
- 0:30Speaker 1: since yesterday in Minnesota. I want you to listen to
- 0:35Speaker 1: what the federal government has put out about the arrest
- 0:38Speaker 1: since yesterday, as Democrats say that ICE need to get
- 0:43Speaker 1: the f out of their city, the f out of
- 0:46Speaker 1: their state, and there needs to be a civil war
- 0:50Speaker 1: against the ICE agents. This is also coming as the
- 0:53Speaker 1: Democratic Party is saying in the future they may go
- 0:55Speaker 1: out and arrest ICE agents and told them accountable for
- 1:01Speaker 1: the crimes they claim they're committing. Now, so who are
- 1:04Speaker 1: they actually out arresting? Well, listen to this, and this
- 1:08Speaker 1: is again just since yesterday.
- 1:11Speaker 2: He came here. Today, I printed out a couple of
- 1:15Speaker 2: a few individuals that I'd like to share with you
- 1:19Speaker 2: individuals that were arrested since yesterday. These three individuals were
- 1:24Speaker 2: arrested just since yesterday. Keep in mind now these individuals
- 1:28Speaker 2: were walking the streets of Minneapolis with impunity as of yesterday.
- 1:35Speaker 2: We've got ho Ai Kumaiye, a criminal illegal alien from Laos,
- 1:39Speaker 2: a registered sex offender convicted of sex offense against a child,
- 1:44Speaker 2: including fondling and failure to register as a sex offender.
- 1:49Speaker 2: This individual was walking the streets of Minneapolis just yesterday.
- 1:54Speaker 2: This individual right here, it's very interesting that I haven't
- 1:58Speaker 2: seen this individual or many others like him reported on
- 2:04Speaker 2: very much by the local news media or the state
- 2:07Speaker 2: news media. That's that's uh, that's interesting. But let's don't
- 2:10Speaker 2: quit there. Let's let's get now you can't let's uh,
- 2:12Speaker 2: let's let's continue here. We've got Samuel Ravelo Hernandez, a
- 2:16Speaker 2: criminal illegal alien from Guatemala charged with rape and lude
- 2:22Speaker 2: or lascivious.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Acts with a minor.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Now, think about that for just a second, rape and
- 2:27Speaker 2: then on top of that, loud lasivious acts of the miner.
- 2:30Speaker 3: This individual is walk in the.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Streets of Minneapolis with impunity just yesterday. Let's don't quit there.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Let's let's let's keep on there. We've got Annabelle Gomez,
- 2:40Speaker 2: a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, previously arrested for criminal
- 2:44Speaker 2: sexual conduct and domestic assault. Other convictions include disorderly conduct
- 2:49Speaker 2: and driving under the influence of liquor uh walk in
- 2:53Speaker 2: the streets. As of yesterday, these are just three three
- 2:58Speaker 2: that I decided to print out.
- 2:59Speaker 3: That all of them, there's a whole stack of these.
- 3:02Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, when we look over the
- 3:05Speaker 2: past year at the ten thousand that have been arrested
- 3:07Speaker 2: here in Minneapolis and Minnesota, that stack is enormous. These
- 3:13Speaker 2: are the kinds of individuals this operation focuses on, individuals
- 3:18Speaker 2: who escalate situations and in danger others. Again, our neighbors,
- 3:22Speaker 2: our friends, our colleagues, and MA and PA America. This
- 3:27Speaker 2: is exactly exactly why Interior Enforcement exists, to remove dangerous
- 3:33Speaker 2: criminals from our communities, remove dangerous illegal alien criminals from
- 3:39Speaker 2: our communities.
- 3:40Speaker 1: It's all now, these are the stories that Left doesn't
- 3:43Speaker 1: want you know about, because this is all about a
- 3:46Speaker 1: civil war.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Quote.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Trump's politicalization of the DOJ will not deter Mayor Fry,
- 3:50Speaker 1: Governor Waltz and a g Ellison from doing their jobs
- 3:52Speaker 1: to protect the people in Minnesota. I stand with them
- 3:56Speaker 1: against these blatant abuse of power. So let's be clear.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Senator Schumer is fighting hard to keep criminals like Paljong,
- 4:08Speaker 1: a rapist and child molester in the country. He's been
- 4:11Speaker 1: convicted of sex offenses against child, fondling, burglary, larceny, and rape.
- 4:17Speaker 1: He was arrested in Minnesota. This individual is who Chuck
- 4:22Speaker 1: Schumer is defending and the Democratic Party that's where the
- 4:27Speaker 1: civil war comes in. There are other Democrats who are like,
- 4:30Speaker 1: we can't say that publicly, Like we know we want
- 4:33Speaker 1: to abolish ICE, and we are the same party that
- 4:35Speaker 1: says we want to get rid of police officers. But now,
- 4:39Speaker 1: how do you actually accomplish this? That is the debate
- 4:43Speaker 1: they're having on TV.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Now. They're going back to their.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Old playbook, which is to demonize, to humanize, and try
- 4:50Speaker 1: to convince Americans that ICE agents are the Gestapo, that
- 4:55Speaker 1: ICE agents are not crime fighters, not actually going after
- 4:59Speaker 1: the the worst that are out there that are legal immigrants,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you know, the rapists and the murderers, and the sex
- 5:05Speaker 1: traffickers and the drug dealers. No, no, no, no, they want
- 5:09Speaker 1: you to believe that somehow that is ice and the
- 5:13Speaker 1: do gooders are the people that broke into this country
- 5:16Speaker 1: that are also committing heinous crimes. Take a listen to
- 5:21Speaker 1: Chris van hollend. This is what he had to say,
- 5:24Speaker 1: is he's trying to rewrite history. And there's a theme
- 5:28Speaker 1: that is happening. This is orchestrated by the Democratic Party.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Listen to what he said about the deranged leftists that
- 5:37Speaker 1: are impeding ICE operations and what he calls them.
- 5:41Speaker 4: One of the things that gives me great hope, even
- 5:44Speaker 4: amidst all of this division and chaos owned by Donald Trump,
- 5:49Speaker 4: are the patriots in places like Minneapolis who are standing
- 5:53Speaker 4: up blowing whistles to protect their neighbors, blowing whistles on
- 5:59Speaker 4: the illegals of ICE. And I was just at a rally.
- 6:03Speaker 3: In Hagerstown, Maryland today, hundreds.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Of people coming out because Ices signaled that they might
- 6:10Speaker 4: use a facility in Hagerstown for their purposes, and people
- 6:13Speaker 4: were coming out to say no.
- 6:15Speaker 3: You listen to Van Holland.
- 6:18Speaker 1: One of the things that gives me great hope are
- 6:21Speaker 1: the patriots in places like Minneapolis who are standing up,
- 6:24Speaker 1: blowing whistles to protect their neighbors.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I want to take a.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Quick moment and talk to you about an incredible organization
- 6:30Speaker 1: and it is called Compassion International and how you can
- 6:34Speaker 1: get involved. There's an invisible thread that connects humans across distance.
- 6:39Speaker 1: You can't see it, but you can feel it when
- 6:42Speaker 1: you pull. And when a child in Guatemala learns to read,
- 6:46Speaker 1: you feel it. The thread vibrates with every new word
- 6:50Speaker 1: they master. When a teenager in Kenya gets medical care
- 6:54Speaker 1: that saves their sight, that thread pulls tighter. And when
- 6:59Speaker 1: a young woman and the Philippines breaks her family cycle
- 7:02Speaker 1: of poverty, you're standing there with her. And here's what's remarkable.
- 7:07Speaker 1: That thread goes both ways because while you're changing their life,
- 7:12Speaker 1: they're changing yours too. Their resilience inspires you, their joy
- 7:17Speaker 1: reminds you what matters. Their letters become the highlight of
- 7:21Speaker 1: your day. It is the powerful thread of Compassion International.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Just hold one end of the thread, you'll stay connected
- 7:29Speaker 1: through letters, photos, updates, prayers. The other end is a
- 7:34Speaker 1: child who changed everything, including you. So impact the world,
- 7:40Speaker 1: one child at a time. Learn how at Compassion dot com.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That's Compassion dot com. There's an invisible thread that connects
- 7:49Speaker 1: humans across distance. You can't see it, but you can
- 7:53Speaker 1: feel it when you pull. Now, who are they actually protecting?
- 7:58Speaker 1: They are protecting the child rapists and the murderers, the
- 8:01Speaker 1: worst among us that ICE at going out to get.
- 8:06Speaker 1: And why are they having to do that because in
- 8:08Speaker 1: Minneapolis the local government refuses to work with ICE. There
- 8:13Speaker 1: have been more than five hundred people that could have
- 8:15Speaker 1: been handed over to ICE that were in custody of
- 8:18Speaker 1: the Minneapolis police departments.
- 8:21Speaker 3: And what do they do.
- 8:23Speaker 1: They let them go instead of actually holding them for
- 8:26Speaker 1: ICE to be held accountable for their actions. This, again,
- 8:30Speaker 1: is the Democratic Party. You take a listen to the
- 8:34Speaker 1: Saint Paul mayor. You may not have heard much about
- 8:37Speaker 1: her compared to the mayor of Minneapolis who said to
- 8:41Speaker 1: get the f out of our city referring to ICE agents,
- 8:44Speaker 1: But she's just about as radical as he is. And
- 8:47Speaker 1: I want you to hear what she said about the
- 8:51Speaker 1: targeting of church members that happened over the weekend. Don Lemon,
- 8:56Speaker 1: the former CNN radical was there as well, and here's
- 9:00Speaker 1: what she said.
- 9:01Speaker 5: Curious, how you see this?
- 9:03Speaker 6: Do you think that some of those protesters may have
- 9:06Speaker 6: gone beyond their First Amendment rights and going into a
- 9:08Speaker 6: church like that and broke the law.
- 9:11Speaker 7: I will say that the you know is has led
- 9:13Speaker 7: the way in their charge of going on to school
- 9:15Speaker 7: properties and detaining people from places that should be just
- 9:19Speaker 7: as well kept sacred. And so you know, we would
- 9:22Speaker 7: have we responded the exact same way we would have
- 9:23Speaker 7: at any place of worship that our PD came in.
- 9:27Speaker 7: And you know, because this is an ongoing investigation, I
- 9:29Speaker 7: can't comment more than that, but I would say we
- 9:32Speaker 7: would have handled this in any other way in any
- 9:34Speaker 7: other place of worship.
- 9:35Speaker 3: In any other place of worship.
- 9:37Speaker 1: So there's the Saint Paul Mayer who's done nothing about
- 9:40Speaker 1: the deranged mobs that are targeting a church during their
- 9:44Speaker 1: church service and then defending these far leftists and then
- 9:48Speaker 1: blames Ice.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Ice has led the way.
- 9:51Speaker 1: We responded the exact same way we would have at
- 9:54Speaker 1: any place of worship, Meaning that if these radicals want
- 9:58Speaker 1: to come into a church during a service and terrorize
- 10:02Speaker 1: those parishioners in Minneapolis and in Saint Paul, they're in
- 10:07Speaker 1: favor of it. Take a listen to Democratic Senator Tina
- 10:11Speaker 1: Smith refusing to answer a simple question, and the simple
- 10:15Speaker 1: question is, Hey, these far left antis mobs should they
- 10:20Speaker 1: be targeting churches during service.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Here's what the senator had to say.
- 10:25Speaker 8: Sir, yesterday we saw a group of protesters go into
- 10:29Speaker 8: the city's church to protest a pastor that they believe
- 10:32Speaker 8: is an ice agent. That has, of course generated considerable
- 10:36Speaker 8: criticism from those who say this was a desecration of
- 10:40Speaker 8: a place of worship.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Would you urge protesters to do more of.
- 10:44Speaker 8: What we're seeing here or do you think that is
- 10:47Speaker 8: counterproductive for what they're trying to achieve.
- 10:51Speaker 9: So almost all of the protests and demonstrations that we've
- 10:54Speaker 9: seen in Minnesota, and especially in Minneapolis and Saint Paul,
- 10:58Speaker 9: have been peaceful, have been a nonviolent, and of course
- 11:01Speaker 9: that is the right response. What all of our messages
- 11:04Speaker 9: have been is basically, don't take the bait, don't fuel
- 11:07Speaker 9: the president's narrative, don't fuel Donald Trump's narrative that is
- 11:13Speaker 9: that this is a dangerous place. Let's show them how
- 11:16Speaker 9: we stand up for each other and stand up for
- 11:18Speaker 9: our neighbors. And that's what makes me so proud of Minnesota.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Right you listen to that Democratic center, She now says,
- 11:26Speaker 1: that's what makes her so proud. Almost all of the
- 11:29Speaker 1: protests and demonstrations that we've seen in Minnesota have been peaceful.
- 11:32Speaker 3: So she's telling you an admitting.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, some of them have gotten completely out of hand,
- 11:37Speaker 1: but we're just so proud of all these people that
- 11:39Speaker 1: just keep showing up, and we're just so proud that
- 11:43Speaker 1: they're out there terrorizing people in church. Democratic Minneapolis City
- 11:48Speaker 1: Council member telling this lie about ICE agents. And again,
- 11:54Speaker 1: this goes back to the playbook of dehumanizing and attacking
- 11:59Speaker 1: ICE agents. It's trying to turn them into the bad guys,
- 12:02Speaker 1: into the Gestapo. Remember, you have a mayor and a
- 12:06Speaker 1: governor that have not only disparagized agents, but they've said
- 12:10Speaker 1: they want a civil war and they can get the.
- 12:13Speaker 3: F out of their city.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Well, now you've got a democratic Minneapolis City Council members
- 12:17Speaker 1: saying this.
- 12:19Speaker 10: Every single person in the city understands that this is
- 12:21Speaker 10: not here for public safety, right, Jake. We've had the
- 12:25Speaker 10: first murder in the city of Minneapolis was perpetrated by
- 12:27Speaker 10: federal agents. If this was about safety, ICE would be
- 12:30Speaker 10: out of our city. And so I think we are
- 12:31Speaker 10: seeing every single individual from every single corner walk of
- 12:34Speaker 10: life in this city start to understand that this is
- 12:37Speaker 10: not about safety, and that we are trying to do
- 12:39Speaker 10: something here in our city because it's not okay.
- 12:42Speaker 1: So to be clear, that is a Democratic city council
- 12:45Speaker 1: member telling a lie to a Jake Tapper. Notice how
- 12:49Speaker 1: he doesn't say a word to stop him. A disgusting
- 12:53Speaker 1: lot to smear Ice agents who are already under attack
- 12:56Speaker 1: while trying to arrest rapists, murderers, and pedophiles. This city
- 13:01Speaker 1: council member said this was just if this was about safety,
- 13:05Speaker 1: Ice would be out of our city. No Ice is
- 13:10Speaker 1: actually doing the job that you refuse to do. Minnesota.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Democrats are protecting the criminal illegals, just like the fraudsters
- 13:19Speaker 1: who are there that have stolen countless dollars from American taxpayers.
- 13:24Speaker 1: You've got deranged individuals out there, just like Stacy Abrams
- 13:29Speaker 1: invoking Hitler and Chavez when trying to smear President Trump.
- 13:33Speaker 1: This is part of the Democratic Party. Stacy Abrams saying
- 13:38Speaker 1: it this way in an interview. Listen carefully of the
- 13:41Speaker 1: words she chooses.
- 13:43Speaker 5: Economic populism raised up Hitler in Germany, it raised up
- 13:48Speaker 5: Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, and we watched it raise up
- 13:51Speaker 5: Trump and his regime right here in America.
- 13:54Speaker 1: That is Stacy Abrams invoking Hitler and Chavez when smearing
- 13:59Speaker 1: President Trump. Why is she allowed to say this and
- 14:03Speaker 1: get away with it in her own party? Because they
- 14:07Speaker 1: believe it. They are going to continue to advocate and
- 14:15Speaker 1: to completely go after Donald Trump and any Republican and
- 14:19Speaker 1: ICE agents in law enforcements because they do not want
- 14:24Speaker 1: law and order in America. John Asoff saying this about
- 14:29Speaker 1: what is happening in Minnesota, and did he condemn the violence?
- 14:33Speaker 1: Does he condemn what's happening with ICE agents? Well, here
- 14:36Speaker 1: he is in his own words. I don't know pastor.
- 14:41Speaker 11: Where it is in scripture that it says, deny care
- 14:47Speaker 11: to the sick, wow, that it says take from those
- 14:52Speaker 11: with the least to give to those with the most,
- 14:56Speaker 11: that it says violate the house of worship to hunt
- 14:59Speaker 11: down on the refugee.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Notice, he has no problem with hunting down the pastor
- 15:04Speaker 1: who they think is connected to law and order. He
- 15:08Speaker 1: won't condemn the far left, the anti ICE mob that
- 15:10Speaker 1: targeted a church in Saint Paul during service and instead
- 15:14Speaker 1: slanders ICE for arresting criminal illegals. So this is the
- 15:18Speaker 1: Democratic Party fill with Marxist socialists. And communists who wanted
- 15:23Speaker 1: to fund all law enforcement and wanted to fund ice.
- 15:28Speaker 1: This is why every election is so important. It's also
- 15:31Speaker 1: the reason why so many voted for Donald Trump because
- 15:34Speaker 1: they want law and order.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Now.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Thank goodness, Donald Trump is not giving in to the
- 15:38Speaker 1: radical left. Instead, he's holding them accountable. And as the
- 15:42Speaker 1: left continues to tell you what they believe in, I
- 15:46Speaker 1: say one thing. Listen to them. This is what they believe,
- 15:51Speaker 1: This is what they want for this country. This is
- 15:54Speaker 1: how much they hate law enforcement. When they tell you,
- 15:58Speaker 1: believe them, and it's our job to call them out.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Homeland Security Secretary Christin nom sag on Monday that federal
- 16:08Speaker 1: authorities have arrested more than ten thousand criminal illegal aliens
- 16:14Speaker 1: in Minneapolis alone. She added that investigators have opened what
- 16:19Speaker 1: she described as a sweeping fraud probe totally at least
- 16:24Speaker 1: nineteen billion, sharpening her criticism of the Minnesota Governor Waltz
- 16:29Speaker 1: and the Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry for what she called
- 16:33Speaker 1: a failure to protect public safety. In a statement, Nomes
- 16:37Speaker 1: said the Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officers carried
- 16:41Speaker 1: out the arrests and that about three thousand were made
- 16:45Speaker 1: in the past six weeks alone. She said, those arrests
- 16:49Speaker 1: included murderers, rapists, child sex offenders, and other violent criminals.
- 16:56Speaker 3: But the media, they don't want you to know.
- 16:58Speaker 1: This story is a great example of one of those
- 17:02Speaker 1: that the so called media loves to go after. And
- 17:06Speaker 1: on Sunday morning on Face the Nation on CBS, there
- 17:10Speaker 1: was this exchange and it was amazing because Christy Nome
- 17:15Speaker 1: took the anchor to the woodshed over her own lives.
- 17:19Speaker 1: I want you to listen to the DHS secretary destroying
- 17:23Speaker 1: CBS News's Margaret Brennan over the Ice arrests, and listen
- 17:28Speaker 1: to the bias that was on the show that she
- 17:30Speaker 1: didn't allow to become reality.
- 17:33Speaker 12: You just said millions. What's the breakdown of the percentage
- 17:35Speaker 12: of those who you have in custody who've actually committed
- 17:38Speaker 12: a criminal offense versus just the civil infraction.
- 17:42Speaker 6: Every single individual has committed a crime, but seventy percent
- 17:45Speaker 6: of them have committed or have charges against them on
- 17:49Speaker 6: violent crimes and crimes that they are charged with or
- 17:52Speaker 6: have been convicted of that have come from other countries
- 17:55Speaker 6: that are here illegally. First of all, and then they
- 17:57Speaker 6: have committed a criminal act while they've been here or
- 18:00Speaker 6: in their home countries as well.
- 18:02Speaker 12: It's not seventy percent, yes, it is. It absolutely is
- 18:05Speaker 12: seventy percent of everyone. You guys keep changing your percentage.
- 18:09Speaker 12: You pick and choose what numbers you think work. But
- 18:11Speaker 12: that is the facts is that seventy.
- 18:13Speaker 6: Percent of the people that we have detained have charges
- 18:17Speaker 6: against them or have been convicted of charges, and they
- 18:20Speaker 6: need to be brought to justice. And we're going to
- 18:21Speaker 6: keep doing that no matter how much you guys keep
- 18:24Speaker 6: lying and don't tell the public the truth. It absolutely
- 18:26Speaker 6: is that these law enforcement officers are out there every
- 18:29Speaker 6: day doing the work to protect the American people, and
- 18:32Speaker 6: they will keep doing that because they believe in enforcing
- 18:34Speaker 6: the law, which is exactly what President Trump has charged
- 18:37Speaker 6: them with.
- 18:38Speaker 1: You listen there to again the lies coming from CBS News.
- 18:43Speaker 1: They try to spend the numbers, they try to say
- 18:45Speaker 1: what she said is not accurate, and then when they're
- 18:48Speaker 1: called out on it, you notice how quiet Brennan shut
- 18:51Speaker 1: down because she knows that this is the actual number,
- 18:55Speaker 1: which also brings us to another part of this story.
- 18:58Speaker 1: You may not know the head the line that I'm
- 19:00Speaker 1: about to give you, and that is the DOJ is
- 19:04Speaker 1: investigating the Minnesota governor as well as the Minneapolis mayor
- 19:09Speaker 1: their boat to crime. The probe is a quote intimidation tactic,
- 19:13Speaker 1: and the liberal media is more than happy to spend
- 19:16Speaker 1: it that way exactly for them. CNN doing a perfect
- 19:20Speaker 1: job of giving you state sponsored media from the governor
- 19:24Speaker 1: and the mayor, as they reported on this story between
- 19:28Speaker 1: Jake Tapper and Caitlin Collins. Listen to how they tried
- 19:32Speaker 1: to explain the story to you so that you think
- 19:35Speaker 1: that somehow Donald Trump is the one doing something wrong,
- 19:38Speaker 1: not the mayor who said that we should get the
- 19:43Speaker 1: Ice Agency f out of his city, or the governor
- 19:46Speaker 1: who said it's civil war. And let's also be clear,
- 19:50Speaker 1: why are they saying that, Because billions of dollars have
- 19:53Speaker 1: been coming into their state and have been disappearing through corruption, fraud,
- 19:59Speaker 1: and much of the money actually going directly to terrorist
- 20:01Speaker 1: organizations like Al Shabab. There is a massive fraud in
- 20:06Speaker 1: the entire state, and they don't want the federal government
- 20:09Speaker 1: there trying to clean it up. So CNN says, yeah,
- 20:13Speaker 1: we'll give you cover to that, no problem.
- 20:15Speaker 13: I've confirmed that the Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Governor
- 20:19Speaker 13: Tim Wallas and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye. A source familiar
- 20:23Speaker 13: has told me that that confirms what was reported earlier
- 20:27Speaker 13: by CBS and essentially jac As we're still trying to
- 20:30Speaker 13: figure out what exactly the contours of this investigation are,
- 20:33Speaker 13: we have a pretty good idea so far. And we
- 20:36Speaker 13: heard from the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch earlier this
- 20:38Speaker 13: week after we had heard these comments from Mayor fry
- 20:41Speaker 13: from Governor Walls following the shooting of a woman by
- 20:45Speaker 13: an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Earlier this week, Todd Blanche
- 20:48Speaker 13: was saying that ICE operates in a bunch of different
- 20:51Speaker 13: counties without incidents going on. He referred to what's happening
- 20:54Speaker 13: in Minnesota as an insurrection and said it's the direct
- 20:57Speaker 13: result of a failed governor and in all caps, terrible mayor,
- 21:01Speaker 13: who he accused of encouraging violence against law enforcement, something
- 21:04Speaker 13: that Todd Blinch called disgusting, and he said, I'm focused
- 21:07Speaker 13: on stopping you from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. So, Jake,
- 21:11Speaker 13: I think that gives us a pretty good sense of
- 21:13Speaker 13: what exactly it is that the Justice Department is at
- 21:16Speaker 13: least trying to base this investigation. Off of where it goes,
- 21:19Speaker 13: it's not really clear right now, but this does come
- 21:21Speaker 13: as the FBI director and the Deputy Attorney General we're
- 21:24Speaker 13: seen in Minneapolis today as they've been surging law enforcement
- 21:28Speaker 13: to the area, as those tensions have only continued since
- 21:31Speaker 13: the shooting of Renee Good. But it does show you, Jake,
- 21:33Speaker 13: who the Justice Department is focusing their targets on when
- 21:37Speaker 13: it comes to the aftermath of the shooting of Renee
- 21:40Speaker 13: Good here and right now, it is the Minnesota Governor
- 21:43Speaker 13: Tim Walls and the mayor here, both of whom have
- 21:45Speaker 13: been criticized by multiple White House officials for their comments,
- 21:49Speaker 13: including Mayor Fry telling Ice to get the f out
- 21:51Speaker 13: of Minneapolis the day that she was killed, and Governor
- 21:54Speaker 13: Wallas as well making multiple public comments talking about the
- 21:58Speaker 13: massive federal presence in their state. And so now it's
- 22:02Speaker 13: an investigation by the Justice Department. It's not clear yet, Jake,
- 22:05Speaker 13: that either of them have actually been served subpoenas as
- 22:08Speaker 13: a result of this, and where this is going to go.
- 22:10Speaker 13: It seems to be in the very early stages of
- 22:13Speaker 13: whatever investigation this is, but that is what we have
- 22:16Speaker 13: learned so far, Jake.
- 22:17Speaker 3: You notice there.
- 22:18Speaker 1: They didn't talk about the actual problems in Minnesota. They
- 22:22Speaker 1: did not talk about the fraud. They didn't talk about
- 22:25Speaker 1: the millions that turn into billions of dollars that have
- 22:28Speaker 1: gone missing from the taxpayers.
- 22:30Speaker 3: No, no, Instead, what did they do there?
- 22:33Speaker 1: They made up a totally different issue, and that was
- 22:36Speaker 1: some sort of retaliation or retribution as they described it
- 22:41Speaker 1: for a Trump administration they claim is angry. Yes, the
- 22:44Speaker 1: Trump administration, by the way, is angry either angry that
- 22:47Speaker 1: billions of dollars of our tax dollars have gone missing
- 22:50Speaker 1: in corruption and fraud, that the governor and the mayor
- 22:53Speaker 1: looked the other way on purpose, Which brings us back
- 22:57Speaker 1: to Christino and what she had to say say on Monday.
- 23:01Speaker 1: The federal authorities have not only arrested more than ten
- 23:04Speaker 1: thousand criminal legal aliens in Minneapolis, but she added that
- 23:08Speaker 1: investigators have opened what she described as that sweeping fraud
- 23:11Speaker 1: probe totally at least nineteen billion, and then explaining it
- 23:16Speaker 1: very clearly, this is at.
- 23:18Speaker 3: The government's footsteps.
- 23:21Speaker 1: This is a defeat of the governor of Minnesota and
- 23:24Speaker 1: the mayor of Minneapolis. She also made it clear that
- 23:29Speaker 1: the worst of the worst are who they're targeting in Minnesota,
- 23:32Speaker 1: and we are finding the rapists, the child sex offenders,
- 23:35Speaker 1: the violent criminals, the murderersno I writing this peace and
- 23:39Speaker 1: public safety in Minneapolis. We have arrested over ten thousand
- 23:43Speaker 1: criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children, and
- 23:48Speaker 1: raiding terror in Minneapolis because Tim Wall Jacob Fry refused
- 23:52Speaker 1: to protect their own people and instead protect criminals. Noome continued,
- 23:57Speaker 1: In the last six weeks, our brave Department of Home
- 24:00Speaker 1: Security law enforcement have arrested three thousand criminal illegal aliens,
- 24:05Speaker 1: including vicious murderers, rapist, child pedophiles, and incredibly dangerous individuals.
- 24:11Speaker 1: A huge victory for public safety. Gnoam also allegs massive
- 24:15Speaker 1: fraud in her own words, totally as she described it,
- 24:19Speaker 1: at least nineteen billion, and said Home Insecurity investigation agents
- 24:24Speaker 1: were conducting large scale investigations aimed at recovering money and
- 24:28Speaker 1: holding those responsible accountable. Nom by the way, did not
- 24:33Speaker 1: provide any details outside of that. Why well, of course,
- 24:37Speaker 1: because she doesn't want the criminals to know what we're
- 24:39Speaker 1: actually doing. But what she did say was this, there
- 24:42Speaker 1: is massive fraud in Minneapolis, at least nineteen billion, and
- 24:46Speaker 1: that's just a tip of the iceberg. Our home insecurity
- 24:48Speaker 1: investigators are on the ground in Minneapolis, conducting wide scale
- 24:52Speaker 1: investigations to get justice for the American people who have
- 24:55Speaker 1: been robed blind. Now you notice she didn't say Minnesota.
- 24:59Speaker 1: She said eineteen billion in Minneapolis, one single city in America. DHS,
- 25:06Speaker 1: by the way, not releasing records, names, or other details. Why,
- 25:11Speaker 1: because of course they don't want to help the criminals
- 25:13Speaker 1: know what's coming.
- 25:14Speaker 4: Now.
- 25:15Speaker 1: We also know that the Justice Department is investigating whether
- 25:18Speaker 1: walt and Fry impeded federal immigration enforcement through public statements.
- 25:23Speaker 1: According to people familiar with that investigation, both Waltz and
- 25:27Speaker 1: Fry have criticized the investigation, and of course, as you
- 25:31Speaker 1: heard from CNN earlier, they're describing it as an intimidation tactic. No,
- 25:36Speaker 1: it's an actual massive investigation. One other thing that's also
- 25:41Speaker 1: really interesting is a federal judge in Minneapolis has barred
- 25:44Speaker 1: DHS agents from arresting what they describe as peaceful protesters
- 25:49Speaker 1: who are not suspected of crimes or obstructing officers after
- 25:53Speaker 1: residents alleged violations of their const social rights while observing
- 25:57Speaker 1: or protesting immigration raids. Nomes fraud allegations also arrive against
- 26:03Speaker 1: the backdrop of Minnesota's long running Feeding Our Future case,
- 26:08Speaker 1: a high profile federal investigation tied to pandemic era child
- 26:12Speaker 1: nutrition programs. What we know about this is shocking. Minnesota's
- 26:17Speaker 1: Office of the Legislative Auditor summarize that the US Department
- 26:20Speaker 1: of Justice has now charged not ten, not twenty, not thirty,
- 26:25Speaker 1: not forty, not fifty, not sixty, but seventy individuals between
- 26:30Speaker 1: September of twenty twenty two and February of twenty twenty
- 26:33Speaker 1: four in connection with US suspected two hundred and fifty
- 26:39Speaker 1: million dollars scheme involving federally funded nutrition programs, and said
- 26:44Speaker 1: the alleged fraud centered on the Minnesota nonprofit Feeding Our Future.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Walt's office previously said it had not received notice of
- 26:55Speaker 1: the Justice Department's investigation, while Fry said the probe appears
- 27:00Speaker 1: aimed at just intimidating him for opposing what he called
- 27:03Speaker 1: dangerous federal actions in his city. One thing is for sure,
- 27:08Speaker 1: the Trump administration is not backing down, and because of
- 27:13Speaker 1: President Trump's leadership, others are doing their jobs the way
- 27:17Speaker 1: they're supposed to. That includes Christy Nome, the FBI, and
- 27:21Speaker 1: Cashptel and many others who are now going to hold
- 27:24Speaker 1: those accountable in Minnesota for the crimes that they've committed.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And that, my friends, is far from quote intimidation, even
- 27:33Speaker 1: if CNN lies to you and says otherwise. Don't forget
