It is 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.240 January twenty seventh, twenty twenty six. We were here in 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:20.160 the Phoenix studio, myself Andrew Colevitt Blake. We're in Phoenix today. Welcome, Welcome, 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.360 lots to get to the big news of the day 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.600 is this Bavino story. We got to get into it. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.360 So Blake, why don't you set up the backdrop for 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.640 this and then we'll get into what we know. We've 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.880 been calling people trying to get the inside scoop. 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.360 So Bavino is the He's kind of been the point 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.679 man for a lot of the drama that's been unfolding 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.400 with ice in Minnesota. 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:41.640 It's almost it's almost. 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.280 Worth reminding people the full arc of how we got here, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.000 which is, yes, last fall, well, okay, the full full 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:49.559 arc of how we got here back. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:50.000 Do we want to go? 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:50.320 Yeah? 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.000 Nineteen you see sixty. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.800 Four during the last glacial maximum, the glacier has created 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.240 a bunch of lakes in Minnesota, thus making it a 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.440 pleasant place for people to live, and so a bunch 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.040 and it was umbled Finland and Sweden, and so a 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.440 bunch of Finns and Swedes moved to Minnesota and they 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.560 made a great state and it was very pleasant, but 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.679 it was kind of progressive it was a little left 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.280 wing and they have a do gooder impulse to them 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.480 in so a lot of people moved there, including yes, 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.720 many Somalis. They built a big welfare state that has 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.520 started to go a little bit awry, much like the 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.040 one in Sweden. And so we had it was not 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.080 really a coincidence that George Floyd unfolded in Minneapolis. That 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.920 would not have unfolded the way it did if it 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.639 had happened in Atlanta, in Texas. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.480 In other states. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.160 It kind of had to happen in Minnesota, and since 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.079 then we've been repeatedly going back there, So that's a 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.720 little set up. Anyway, this past fall we had that 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.040 drama with people, notice the Smali fraud stuff, which has 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.960 been going on for years and in fact been getting 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.280 prosecuted and covered for years early on this, but yet 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.400 we were like feeding our future was going on in 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.240 twenty one and twenty two, and then you remember when 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.160 we had crimew on and he said, yeah, all these 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.360 there's a giant autism scam going on in Minnesota, all 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.400 this fraud, and then lo and behold that was blown up. 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.200 So we had you know, Chris Rufo was covering it. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.040 And then of course Nick Shirley was covering it as well, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.760 just the realization, huge, huge surge of attention on it 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.560 of what fraud is going on. And so then ICE, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.880 which has been pursuing its immigration activities, they sort of 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.200 seized on this. Oh well, let's let's do a surge 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.960 in Minnesota. It's a good symbol of how serious we 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.080 are on finding fraudsters, finding criminals and deporting them. And 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.800 so we have the surge there and Bavino, as you said, 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.320 is he's kind of the on the ground symbolic leader 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:36.960 of them. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.040 Like the mascot of Border Patrol. Yeah, which is distinct 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.040 from ICE, which is an important distinction. So you know, 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.720 typically Bavino would not be up in Minneapolis, right, so 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.680 he was brought there as a part of this surge 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.360 to oversee it. He is this kind of folk hero 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.800 among a lot of the Border Patrol. We've got some 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.000 images of of Greg Bit total patriot, by the way, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.160 total patriot. But things have gone awry and there is 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:10.160 infighting within some of the ranks of ICE Border Patrol. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.080 Even there's different opinions at the administration. But here's what 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.839 I can tell you is that everybody's committed to the 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.560 president's immigration agenda. That's what I have ascertained. I've been 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.600 calling around asking my sources up there. Everybody's committed to it, 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:29.320 but there is a difference of tactics, of messaging, of presentation. 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.120 Yeah, and it's just funny how symbolic it is, because 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.839 I believe he's commander of the border patrol, and so 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.760 it is a little funny that he was there. But 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.240 what he was is he had that bravado of oh, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.080 we're here, We're tough. He's like parading around in public 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.159 to show that, frankly, that he's not afraid all the 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.200 ICE people and or the anti ICE protesters, which is 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.760 a big deal because people have openly fantasized about wanting 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:55.400 this guy shot. They've openly fantasized I think him. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.039 I believe, Yeah, his family isn't hiding. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.600 Yes, this guy is a very brave man, and he 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.440 put himself out there for the agenda. But he also, 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.560 as a result, became symbolic of the difficulties that happened 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:11.160 in Minneapolis, which unfortunately, we've had two shootings, We've had 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.200 a lot of chaos in the city, mostly driven by 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:14.920 the left of course. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.840 Well in the New one preddy is I think where 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.279 we're getting a lot of this consternation because listen, I 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.880 will defend ICE all day long. As a matter of fact, 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.599 I'm going to continue to because I think they're amazing heroes. 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.000 But there are some ICE agents and Border patrol that 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.280 feel like we need a new approach, a we need 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.600 to hit the reset button. In Minneapolis. You see Tom Homan, 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.080 who's been on this show many times. We love Tom. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.920 I think it's a great it's a great move, great 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.680 mix it up. But Bavino has now So there was 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.039 some confusion yesterday Bovino gets relieved of duty. Did he 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.520 get fired? Did he? Did he? Is he transfer? He 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.919 had transferred, so he's and then his social media was 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.240 shut down. He was mixing it up on social media 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.640 with some lawmakers who were overreacting. By the way, again, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.880 I basically agree with everything Bovino was saying. He's absolutely 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.559 right to have our ICE agents back, to have border 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:16.040 patrols back, but some of the details I think were misplaced. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.520 I think some of the initial reaction was based on 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:23.919 faulty information about the altercation with Pretty and so there's 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.479 movement happening, right, but he's not been fired, and essentially 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.600 what happened was Boveno was put on ice for a second. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.600 President Trump put on ice. Yeah, well he was out 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.560 put on. I didn't even mean it. President Trump says, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.080 this guy's a hero, he's a patriot. He's on the team. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.080 We're keeping him, keeping him on his post. And so 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.919 he's on his post. But Holman's coming in. He's gonna 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.440 he's gonna shake things up. Why I like this, And 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.320 I will tell you Bovino's an actual operator, right, He's 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.800 he's less of the policy wonk guy, less of the 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.320 architect of it, but he is an absolute architect. He's 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.920 a real tough guy. Bavina is a tough guy too. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:06.360 But Tom Homan absolute field general. He's in the he's 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.000 now in the field meeting with people in what we've seen, 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.800 and I think I think the internet's got this all wrong. 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.880 A lot of people were saying President Trump blinked. You know, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.720 he had this call with fry Frye, he had a 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:22.920 call with Waltz. What they're doing is a huge, huge deal. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:28.080 We are now seeing Minneapolis p D rush in to 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.560 defend federal law enforcement. That's a big change. That's a 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.560 positive change. After the calls with the president. So we're 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.960 seeing movement here, We're seeing a little give and take. 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.400 I do not see anybody saying we're not gonna arrest 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.320 all the illegals. Nobody's saying that we're you. You do 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.200 see a little bit of a worse first messaging. Now, 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.840 as long as that's just the messaging, I'm okay with it. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.440 And Blake, before we came in to the show today, 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.880 you were making I thought, a really amazing point and 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.480 sometimes I wish you guys could see all of our 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.360 our pre show discussion, but you were basically saying competence 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.800 is what matters. It's not even okay message how you're 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.320 going to message, but we need competence and we need 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.920 to stop being as performative for social media. We just 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.040 need to get the job done. Expound on that point 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.400 if you can. Well. 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.440 So, a lot of the drama that's been happening with 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.160 Ice is I think it's downstream of things the administration 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.440 has done to show that they're serious, and we want 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.760 them to be serious. But what I think Bovino became 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:33.000 a symbol of is like performative, performative stuff, and some 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.679 of this is stuff I've heard people complain about, like, 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.280 for lack of a better term, some stuff they'll do. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.880 It's almost like it's intended to look a little cruel 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.920 or callous. And I think it is important to be serious, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.240 like dead serious. And it's obviously great when they're saying, Oh, 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.640 this person we arrested was a rapist, this person we 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.360 arrested was a criminal. You definitely communicate that seriousness, but 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.600 sometimes it does go a little bit beyond that, and 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:02.240 that's what ends up like bothering a lot of people. Now, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.600 you can't allow those people to say, oh, so we're 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.960 going to suspend deportations. 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.160 Now, oh we're gonna pull iceback. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.600 Oh, deportations are canceled because this made me feel better. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.800 You don't give in on that point. But you do 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.199 have to be smart about things. And I think totally 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.520 the way Trump is President Trump is reacting to this 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.400 is telling because I think some people really wanted to 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.079 do a bigger pullback. I think some people probably wanted 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.360 Greg Lavino to just be fired and cast. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.920 Aside, say this whole thing was bad. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.000 And I think the president's instincts are, no, we can 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.960 swap out personnel, but if I start firing people or 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.360 really signaling a pullback. It's going to shoot, it's going 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.040 to set off this cascade of weakness, whereas with sending 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.320 in Tom Holman. Tom Holman is a longtime professional. He's 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.960 pretty good at the more. He's pretty good at disciplined 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.640 messaging on this, and I think he can say we'll 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.520 have Homan running this operation, and he can communicate what 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.560 our agenda is, that we're focused, that you know, most 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.400 of the people were getting our criminals. That he could 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.720 sort of reset the tone of what's going on without 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.280 pulling back two decisives. Right, we need to talk about 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.319 Second Amendment because this is a thing. It was bubbling 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.400 up yesterday and we didn't really touch it too much, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.840 but we want to hit it harder today. It's been 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.560 going back and forth. There's been we're sort of seeing 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:21.720 a reversal of form typically because for years it was 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.679 you'd have the right would sometimes bring guns to protests, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.120 and obviously there was a lot of hysterics in the 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.400 left is pushing hard for gun control. It's been a 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.560 little different in Minnesota because some of these Antifa people 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.160 are just some of the anti ice people in general 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.640 have been armed, and of course Alex Preddy was armed 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.520 as well, and that seems to have unfortunately caused his death. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.040 And so there's been a few lines that have been used. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.079 One of them was from FBI Director Cash Mattel. He 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.360 said this on Sunday. We'll use that as set up. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:51.680 Let's play clip to eighty one. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.960 As Christy said, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.839 multiple magazines to any sort of protests that you want it. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.240 That's simple. You don't have that right to break the 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:03.880 law and incite violence. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:10.360 And similarly, DHS Secretary of Christina she also said on Saturday, 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.160 I don't know if any peaceful protester who shows up 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.680 with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign, And 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.880 there was some context to that, but she was basically, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.480 you know, that's what gets clipped. And we've seen that 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.280 a few different times from a few different people. 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:25.319 And first of. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.400 All, we have to warn everyone that no, you actually 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.440 you do have the right to bring a gun to 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.440 a protest. Many conservatives have done that, and it would 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.400 be a huge mistake if we suddenly reversed course on that, 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.680 because the left would be overjoyed to team up with 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.280 us to say, oh, you actually can't bring guns to 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.240 protests and then we would permanently forfeit a Second Amendment 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:51.720 right over a temporary issue. But we do have to 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.000 make sure our messaging on this is good, it is correct, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.200 and what some people have emailed us in some people 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.160 have commented, they've said, oh, well, you know you're For example, 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:05.200 they've said you're legally required to tell an officer if 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.920 you're armed or all of that, You're actually not. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:08.560 I looked this up. 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.400 In Minnesota, you're required to tell an officer if they ask, 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.679 and that is the most common law in most of 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.240 the US is if a police officer asks whether you 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.480 have a weapon, you have to tell them. But only 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.080 in a few are you affirmatively required to just disclose 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.560 this information if interacting with an officer. But what our 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.160 messaging should instead, I think need to be is this 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:33.119 is basically actually about gun safety, like responsible gun ownership, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.080 and if you take a firearms class, they're basically going 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.240 to tell you can't have ego while carrying a gun. 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.880 This is a dangerous item and you have to use 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.120 it responsibly. You are carrying something that if you screw up, 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.400 it can get you killed, it can get other people killed. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:53.440 And that's really The tragedy of what happened over the 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.840 weekend in this Ice shooting is that he was getting 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.559 in he'd gone to a protest, and then not only that, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:05.000 ended up in a situation where bad stuff could happen. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.400 And if you're carrying a gun around a bunch of officers 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.600 while people are blowing whistles and people are getting shoved, 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.640 people are getting dragged around, everyone's getting screamed at. The 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.160 officers themselves are worried someone is going to pull a 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.000 gun and attack them, and you're carrying a gun and 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.160 approaching them, it has to enter your thought. There are 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.320 a lot of ways that this could go wrong. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.360 Yeah, And I just want to make one thing clear. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.480 I completely agree with every point you just made. Preddy 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.600 was not at a protest. There was no protest when 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.800 he was shot. The protests arrived after he was shot. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.960 He was involved in an organized direct action to impede 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.959 federal law enforcement. So let's just get that very very clear. 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.080 Do I think this was a good shooting candidly, like 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.880 you know, probably not okay. But to Blake's point, when 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.439 you take a firearm into public, you are taking a responsibility. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.520 I made this point yesterday. This is why if you 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.400 have a firearm in your car and you get pulled over, 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.680 you turn the car off, you take the keys, you 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.559 put them on the dash hands at ten to where 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.880 they can see them. The officer approaches your window and 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.600 you say, officer, I have a firearm in this vehicle, 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.360 and the officer goes instantly knows he's working with a 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.680 responsible individual. Okay, when you. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.000 Don't do this because you're legally required to do this, 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.520 you do this because you're not a moron and you 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.040 don't want to die, and you don't want anyone else 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:26.200 do You. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.640 Don't want the cop freaking out. People have to understand something. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:35.160 Law enforcement are involved in very risky operations. They are 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:40.920 pulling over and abduct apprehending traffickers, drug traffickers, cartel members. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.400 These are some of these are homicie literally been convicted 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:49.200 of homicide. These are high risk, high tension situations. And 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.160 then they got all these yahoos going around them with 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:56.960 bells and or ring, blowing uh whistles, shouting profanity, spitting 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.640 at them, throwing ice blocks at them, and they're supposed 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.160 to do their job as if they're cool, calm and 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.480 collecting cools. A cu comper. You are expecting too much. 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.440 So when you go there and you nitpick about the 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.360 way that they do things, listen, I got news for you. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.240 You put yourself into a position where you have to 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.960 go arrest bad guys and see how well you perform 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:21.200 under under fire. Okay, when the tension is high, bad 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.440 things happen. The dumbest thing you can then do is 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.200 be like pretty and go into that situation make it 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.320 even more difficult. Throw out this image of Kyle Rittenhouse. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.800 Are these are the comparisons that are happening. They're saying, 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.760 Kyle Rittenhouse carrying in public. There is this image of 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:40.320 him approaching law enforcement, hands up. Do you see that 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.680 he's approaching law enforcement. He's putting his hands where the 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.320 police officers can see them, saying, I'm not a threat 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.720 to you, officers, I need your help. I'm not a 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.720 threat because he was coming in respect, because he was 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:57.520 not their enemy. Pretty unfortunately, I wish he was alive today, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.960 But he unfortunately was coming at law enforcement and resisting them, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.680 trying to impede them, signaling that he wasn't their enemy, 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.480 that he was against their actions, and bad things happen. Okay, 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.720 this is very very simple. When you are a firearm owner, 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.720 and if you take that into public, the responsibility is 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.320 on you to make sure law enforcement knows that you 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.440 are not a threat to their lives. They want to 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:26.640 go home to their families too, Hey, everybody.

Uh, Chip, 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:54.840 thank you so much for coming on. Congressman. 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:56.960 Yeah, great to be on with you. Guys. Really appreciate 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:57.479 it here. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.919 Yeah, listen, thank you so much. So. I saw this 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.760 stat last night. I texted you about it. It's it's 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.280 remarkable and I want you to kind of just like 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.560 a brass tax it for us, for the audience and 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.600 help help everybody understand what's different about Texas versus Minnesota. 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:18.280 Texas accounts for twenty five percent approximately of the deportations 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.440 under Trump, and I would say about zero percent of 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:28.080 the drama Minnesota accounts for two percent of the deportations 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.920 and currently about one hundred percent of the drama. Explain it, like, 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.919 I'm five, Why are there? Why is there such a 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.440 huge difference between Minnesota and Texas. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:41.600 Well, it's a great question. I think it goes to 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.600 the heart of what we're seeing unfold in Minneapolis, and 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:46.280 I think the bigger picture that we all need to 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:47.959 focus on, which I'll get to in a minute, right, 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.199 which is why we need to stay the course. But 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.800 we'll get there in a second. To answer your question, 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.280 the easy answer that the left will thrown at us, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.640 right is that, oh, well, you've got so many more 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.720 people here who are here illegally. Well, that's true, But 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.720 if you look at the data more closely, what you'll 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.919 find is is that even as a percentage of the 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.560 total illegal population, Texas is still doing a far better job. 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.280 And the reason why is because, as a general rule, 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.760 not perfectly, but as a general rule, our state leadership, 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.359 our state law enforcement, and a good number of our 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.840 local law enforcement are working in cooperation with ICE in 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.200 what we'd call two eighty seven g agreements or generally 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.600 so that we're working to say, hey, we've got somebody 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.560 locked up, or we've got somebody who we suspect us 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.920 here legally or under orders of removal by a judge, 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:33.600 then we're going to work with ICE, put them in 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:37.959 the process and get them out. Minnesota, Minneapolis Governor Waltz, 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.200 the mayor of Minneapolis, and the people in the leadership there, 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.480 they're resisting that they're not working with ICE, and by 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.159 the way, they're trying to say they are, and they're saying, oh, well, 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.760 anytime we've got somebody in our prison, we hand them over. Well, 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.760 that's true for a very small subset of the people 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.439 who have served their sentences in prison, but not the 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.840 vast number of people who've been arrested or who are 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.359 in local jails. So that's the difference. Texas can do better. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.040 To be clear, we should be even more aggressive. There 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.680 are some jurisdictions who are not doing all they can do, 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:07.320 but we're doing a lot better. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:08.600 And you don't see the drama. 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.119 To use your words, Yeah, this is a key point 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.359 that you just made, Congressman about this Tim Waltz statement. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.439 He's trying. So President Trump tim Waltz have a call yesterday. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.840 They both said it was productive. I will say we 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:25.879 are now seeing Minneapolis Police department actually work to block them, 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.480 really work. Well, they were exactly, So it's a it's 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.760 actually a admission of guilt that they were not protecting 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.240 federal law enforcement. But at least they seem to be 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.040
