  Speaker 1: Does the President stand fully behind that officer, that agent.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Does the President believe his actions were justified?
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? And I think the more evidence that comes out
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: shows the officer was justified and President Trump was right
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: about this all along. And who was wrong the Democrat
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Party and the mainstream media, who despicably have been lying
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: about this officer and about this case from the very beginning,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: and they have had to change their story and their narrative.

• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Story number one US.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: President Donald Trump we are now being told as considering
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: airstrikes on Iran to stop a crackdown on the protesters.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: The White House has confirmed on Monday, adding that people
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: were being killed in the streets. A channel for diplomacy,
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: they also made clear is still open, with a Ran
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: taking quote a far different tone in private discussions with
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: President Trump's Special Envoy, Steve Wiskoff and the Press Secretary
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: Caroline Levitt, confirming that saying, quote, one thing President Trump
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: is very good at is always keeping all of his
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: options on the table, and airstrikes would be one of
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: the many, many options that are on the table for
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: the commander in chief. Levitt added that diplomacy is always
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: the first option for this president, saying, quote, what you're
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: hearing publicly from the Ringing regime is quite different from
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: what the message the administration is receiving privately, and I
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: think the President has an interest in exploring those messages.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Iran's foreign ministry said earlier on Monday that a channel
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: of communication was open between its top diplomat and Trump's
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: special envoy, despite a lack of diplomatic relations. Trump said
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: on Sunday that the US military was in fact considering
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: a very strong option against Iran, saying it looks like
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: tehranic crossed his previously stated red line of protesters being killed.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Here's more of what the President had to say in
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: his last interview. Take a listen.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Are you following the protesting that is taking place all
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: over the country of Iran? Yeah, I'm following and have
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you have you read that the Ayatola Ali Komani is
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: now as a plan B to go to Russia or
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: some place he's looking to go.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Say you believe.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You think the country is on the verge of collapsing, Well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: it could be. I mean what they've done is they
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: start in the past, they've started shooting the hell out
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of people, and all of a sudden, people without any
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: weapons whatsoever, is standing there in your machine guns, gunning
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: them down, or they grab take them to prisons and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: then hang them and kill them. So they played rough
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and I said, if they do that, we're going to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: hit them very hard. Well, we're gonna hit them out.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We're ready to do it. If they do that, we're
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: going to hit them mart And so far, for the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: most part, there's been some of it, but for the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: most part they haven't. There have been people killed, some
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of them. The crowds are so big that some of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: them have had really like we're stomped on. Literally, it was.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It was terrible. The crowd to just they're massive. The
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: enthusiasm to overturn that regime is incredible. But there's been
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: people killed, but it's more from death by it's literally stomping.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: It's people running in a certain direction. So we'll see
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: what happens. We'll see what happens over there. They know though,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that it's a stampede. Is I guess the best word
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: they have, like a stampede. You talk about stampede for cattle,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: but the people are stampeding, and you're losing a lot
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of people with the stampede. There's so many there's so
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: many people protesting. Nobody's ever seen anything like what's happening
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: right now. But I have put Rano noticed that if
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: they start shooting at them. These people are totally unarmed people,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and they love their country. They want something to happen.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Look at their country. They've gone, they've gone back one
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years. But I've told them that if
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: they do anything bad to these people, we're going to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: hit them very hard.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: We're going to hit them very hard. The president clearly
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: sticking with that line. As Trump said, the US military
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: is considering those very strong options, and the Iran leaders
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: have reached out for a meeting, but we may have
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: to act before a meeting. The president also went on
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: to say rights groups have also reported a growing death toll,
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: with information continuing to trickle out of Iran despite a
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: day's long internet and phone shut down. Caroline Levitt White
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: House Presiotery appear to confirm there have been a significant
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: increase in death, saying, quote, he certainly doesn't want to
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: see people being killed in the streets of Tehran, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: unfortunately that's something we're seeing right now. One thing is
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: for sure, the President United States of America is going
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: to hold Iran accountable for what's happening right now on
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: the ground, keeping all options on the table now.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Story number two.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Which brings us to another important story. President Donald Trump
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: has come out and pledged to uncover the leftist groups
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: that are countering ICE all over the country. President Trump
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: said that he believes the woman that was fatally shot
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: by a US Immigration and Customs enforcement officer in Minneapolis
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: last week may have been a professional agitator, and indicated
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: that the government will uncover the funding sources behind such
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: anti law enforcement agitation nationwide. Here's the President in his
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: own words.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: You saw that they were harassing that were following for
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: days and for hours, and I think, frankly they're professional agitators,
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: and I'd like to find out, and we are going
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: to find out who's paying for it with their brand
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: new designs and all the different things. But these are
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: professional agitators, and law enforcement should not be in a
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: position where they have to put up with this stuff.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: What that woman and what her friend and what their
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: other friends we're doing to law enforcement, not just ICE,
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: law enforcement is outrageous.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: The President added that he would like to find out,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: and we're going to find out who's paying for it
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: with their brand new signs and all the different things.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: But these are professional agitators, and law enforcements should not
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: be in a position where they have to put up
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: with this stuff. What that woman and what her friend
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: and what their other friends are doing to law enforcement,
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: not just ICE, law enforcement is outrageous. The US Department
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: of Homeland Security retweeting a post in which rep Republican
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Representative Lance Coudden of Texas asserted that the anti ICE
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: protesters are actually all just being paid for saying, quote
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: the anti ice mobs or anything but organic dark money
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: is bankrolling these far left groups like.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Ice Watch and Lighting the Fuse.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: Americans deserve to know who's cutting the checks the lawmakers
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: said in his post, a person weaponizing their vehicle against
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: law enforce horsement is unacceptable, and we're witnessing it happen
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: all over the country. Fox News having even more on this,
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: and here's what they said right now.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: DHS is deploying hundreds of more federal agents to Minnesota
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: as violent anti ice protests continued to rise in the state.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Matt Finn joins US Live in Minneapolis with the details.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: Hey, Matt hi Ainsley, DHS sources tell us up to
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: one thousand additional federal officers could surge at Minneapolis here.
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: That's on top of the already two thousand agents on
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: the ground. And this comes as DHS Secretary Christy Noam
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: is defending her assessment of the Renee Good shooting.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: If you look at what the definition of domestic terrorism is,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it completely fits the situation on the ground. This individual,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: as you saw in the video that we released just
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours after this incident, showed that this officer
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: was hit by her vehicle, she weaponized it, and he
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: But the Democratic Mayor of Minneapo Bliss, Jacob Frye disagrees
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: and is slamming Secretary Noam.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: It sounds like she doesn't believe a single word that
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: she is saying. Right now, here's the thing she's calling
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Minneapolis like this dystopian hellhole. You know how many shootings
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: we've had so far this year, two and one of
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: them was ICE. Two shootings in a large city so
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: far this entire year, and one of them is Ice.
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: This is a safe city, Ice and Christy Noman, everything
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: they're doing is making it far less safe.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: And there's new video leading up to the moments of
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: Renee goods shooting death by an ICE agent on Wednesday.
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: The video appears to show Goods as UV partially blocking
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: the street, honking her horn, and apparently dancing in the
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: driver's seat. Border patrol tells us it's dangerous for agents
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: to be blocked in by a car because there are
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: so many anti ICE agitators who quickly surround them. A
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: new video from last night apparently shows federal agents using
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: crowd control tactics firing tear gas and pepper balls at
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: protesters outside the federal building where ICE detainees are being held.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: An independent photographer who was there says protesters tried to
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: stop traffic in and out of the federal facility, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: they were met with forces. Now this is happening in
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: a city where the mayor has told Ice to get
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: the f out, and highly organized anti ICE activists are
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: patrolling the neighborhoods. We ask Border Patrol during a ride
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: along if any of this is going to deter them.
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: Absolutely not. We're out here to do a job and
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: we're not going to stop until it's done. If a
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: mayor wants to say something that he's not not for us,
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: if anybody wants to say that they're not for us,
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: that is not going to stop what we're doing in
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: Minneapolis or anywhere across the country.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: And that was during a ride along with Border Patrol.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Have to say, driving around the city, as soon as
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: they get out of their cars, they are met with
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: people who have those ear piercing whistles, of people, you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: resisting trying to surround the cars. There is really a
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: highly organized anti ICE, anti Border patrol network here on
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: the ground in the Twin Cities.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: It's clear the President United States of America wants to
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: find out exactly who is weaponizing these individuals to go
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: after ICE agents, and you can see it there as
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: ICE put out saying these individuals are impeding law enforcement
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: and they're weaponizing their vehicles against ICE. The officer in
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: this shooting was dutifully acted in self defense. That is
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: what the DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: said on X When thing's for sure, the President now
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: has made it clear, we're gonna find out exactly who's
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: paying these individuals and what group is behind them.
