1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: And Dan Mitchinson, now you is correspondent is with us.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, Dan, Happy New Year. I'm just done

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: crossing my legs after that last story.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: We've talked with other I having a lot of people

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: felt a bit uncomfortable about that half the population. Okay,

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: So what's the latest out of Minneapolis.

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Well, we've got a lot of Republicans right now are

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: questioning or criticizing the president after the killing of that

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: thirty seven year old nurse who are shot by Border

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: patrol agents. And there are allies of President Trump that

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: are questioning the tactics that I think a lot of

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: these people are using, the Homeland Security Department is using,

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: and at a minimum, they're now saying we need an

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: investigation into what's going on right now. So these aren't

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: just Democrats that are concerned. And a lot of this

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure has to do with the midterms that are

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: coming up this year. Right, Democrats are going to take

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: any opportunity they can to turn something like this into

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 2: a political SoundBite. Right.

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is clearly feeling the pressure, right, hence the

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: wine back.

22
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is, he is. And you've got the White

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: House Chief of Staff now that's using terms like would

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: be assassin and a domestic terrorist without offering any evidence.

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: And you've got the Border Patrol commander accusing this person

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: of trying to quote massacre law enforcement. Well, police have

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: said that, you know, Preddi was a legal gun owner,

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: and he had a permit to carry, and he had

29
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: no criminal record at this point. So I think in

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: the last say, thirty six hours or so, we've seen

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: President Trump perhaps walk back a little bit of his

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: rhetoric from earlier.

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: So what does it look like once he winds back

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: and de escalates slightly, what is it going to look like?

35
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 2: I don't know. I honestly don't know. That's a good question.

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: I think there will be investigations into this where that leads, though,

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's anybody's.

38
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean, because there has been some internal debate from

39
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: what I understand, within the administration about who the ICE

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: agents should be targeting. Right, so they're basically just going

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: after anybody who's an illegal, whereas the debate had been

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: they need to go after illegals who are criminals. Is

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: that maybe the switch that happens.

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's a switch that happens, But then you go

45
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: into the whole question of how are you targeting these

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: people individually when they're just being pulled off the street

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: or they're being pulled out of cars. And that's what

48
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: we're seeing right now, and that's what a lot of

49
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: people are saying has to stop right now. And that's

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: not only affecting you know, the the the people that

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: ICE are going after, but at this point in time,

52
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: this is impacting the whole government. I mean, there's a

53
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: chance that our government could shut down by Saturday because

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: of that shooting. And that's because you've got both parties

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: debating what guardrails I guess they can place on President

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: Trump's agenda for this and now. On the other hand, though,

57
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: even if the government shuts down right now, since the

58
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: DHS already has this massive wat of cash from President

59
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, there's still going to be

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: out on the streets. The ICE agents aren't going to

61
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: be impacted by that.

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: Do you think, okay? I mean, it is one thing, though, Dan,

63
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: for the public. I can understand why the public may

64
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: feel offended by seeing I don't know, you know, illegal

65
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: awarded a mum being pulled out of a car and arrested,

66
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: But are they going to feel as sympathetic if it

67
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: is only illegal criminals who are being pulled out of cars, like,

68
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: is that going to be a problem.

69
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: I think that really depends on your view and your

70
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: party and your stance on this and how they're doing it.

71
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: Right now, I think you're going to convince some that

72
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: if they're going after the bad guys and they're justified

73
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: on doing that, they're okay, they're doing their job. But

74
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: you're still going to have a majority of people that

75
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: are to the left and to the right that are

76
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: going to say this either should be done or this

77
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: is being done illegally, and they'll they just won't change

78
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: their mind.

79
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: By the way, do we know what was in that syringe?

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 2: No? No, I'm not quite sure what was in that syringe.

81
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: She hasn't suffered any any harm, is she?

82
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: Uh? Not? To my knowledge?

83
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so most likely. I mean, if it smells like vinegar,

84
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: maybe it was just in Again, listen, Bigfoot? Is this

85
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: a joke?

86
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. Do you believe in Bigfoot? Do you

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: believe in this? I do, hand on heart. I believe

88
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: in big Why That's fine, I just I want to believe.

89
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: There's some things in life I believe in the Lockness monster.

90
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: I believe in Bigfoot right now. I mean, there's a

91
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: story of this marine that is a former marine. He

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: spotted bigfoot on a base in Quantico, Virginia. His name

93
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: is Andrew Bird. He wasn't the only person that observed

94
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: this whatever it was at neither were a couple of

95
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: other marines with him. It was on a restricted military

96
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: training area. He says, we observed a couple of trees.

97
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: They were bending towards one another. We looked up twenty

98
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: to thirty feet above the ground. There was a large,

99
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: hairy creature facing us. They were chased for twenty or

100
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: thirty seconds, he said. Unfortunately, we left without an image

101
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: or other evidence of what we encountered. And that is

102
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: the problem, my friend, of these encounters, isn't it Nobody

103
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: seems to have a camera when they need one.

104
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: When it manses Dean, Thank you, Dennis, thank you, Dan Mitchison,

105
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: you is correspondent. Do we do we believe in bigfoot?

106
00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: Do we?

107
00:04:59,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean?

108
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: Think about that?

109
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: Twenty to thirty feet? What's that? A tall A goodly

110
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: tall man is six feet, so that's like three men

111
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: at the minimum, three men, maximum five men. Hi, what

112
