WEBVTT - NEW: Ilhan Omar Assaulted at Town Hall; "Staged" Immediately Becomes Trending Topic 

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, January twenty eighth. In

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>it was an incredible day and night of developments out

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of Minneapolis, including a US congresswoman attacked, assaulted, and it's

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>all on camera at one of our town hall meetings

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>last night. Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes.

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Did I get ahead of myself? We came on yesterday.

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 1>I was really excited to say, hey, the tone has

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>come down, the tensions have come down, and then yesterday

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>things got.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>A little more heated.

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and look I when you look and see what

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 3>happened at ilhan Omar's town hall meeting, that certainly was

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 3>unfortunate and concerning because the rhetoric we keep talking about this,

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 3>when politicians start throwing barbes at other politicians and start

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 3>blaming other politicians for problems or accusing them of malfeasons

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 3>and etc. Yes, you have outliers out there who take

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 3>those words and put them into action. We have seen

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 3>it time and time and time again. Thankfully, this one

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.279
<v Speaker 3>didn't amount too much. It didn't appear that ilhan Omar

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 3>was injured in any way, But who knew at the

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.960
<v Speaker 3>time what was in that substance that this man came

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 3>up and scorted her with in a town hall meeting.

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>And there were a stack of significant developments yesterday, including

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that one.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>In particular. You will see headlines.

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>We will give you some context for it if you

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen the video, But it was really concerning robes

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>when I first saw the headlines before seeing the video attacked, assaulted.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Now all of that is true, given though what we

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>have seen over the past year when it comes to

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>politicians and gunfire and assaults and attacks. I thought the worst.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>The video Actually I was a little relieved. Is still scary,

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>but little relief. So we're going to give some contact

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>at least folks to what that video does show. But

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.799
<v Speaker 1>that was certainly a major headline coming out of Minneapolis. Also,

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>preliminary investigation resulted in this headline. There were two agents

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>who fired shots in that incident that killed Alex Preddy.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Also growing calls for Christy Nome to be fired and

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>if not, impeachment. We'll get into that. Also, Trump made

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>various comments having to do with Alex pretty Christy Nome

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>also the guy who just got demoted out of his

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>job as commander there in Minneapolis. We'll get into that.

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump did use the word de escalate. That is a

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>big deal. And two judges made two significant rulings yesterday.

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>One is threatening to throw the ice director in jail.

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll explain, and the other judge blocked a five year

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>old from being deported in a story that really pulled

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>into the hartstrings of a lot of people. But roads,

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>let's start with il han Omar last night trying to

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>give a town hall in Minneapolis, and of course cameras

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>were rolled, that's right.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 3>So look, she was up at a podium, it was

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 3>it was a small town hall meeting.

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 4>It was a small room.

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 3>And as she started talking about christinome a man who

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 3>was sitting in the front row, and it's it was

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:12.959
<v Speaker 3>odd because.

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:13.959
<v Speaker 4>There were cameras on him.

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.800
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know what your impressions were, but he

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 3>was drinking out of a water bottle, but it looked

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 3>like vodka might have been in that water bottle. He

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 3>looked drunk to me, Okay, facial expressions, he looked, he

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 3>looked inebriated.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>He certainly was to show well, that's funny. I didn't

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>think about it the way you put it. He looked

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>like it looked like it was a water bottle, but

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>he looked like somebody who has been drinking, yes, quite

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a while.

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 2>He was a mess. He it looked like vodka was

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>in the clear observation.

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Again, not making any indictment on the guy, but it's

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>he looked a bit of a mess. And yes, people

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>were pointing out to your point role at the very

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.119
<v Speaker 1>beginning of this thing, there was a shot of him

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>as an individual. Why don't know, could have been random whatever,

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>but yes, disappointing to that.

0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 3>So he jumps up and I hate this squirt seems

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 3>like it's so, but that is what he did.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 4>He squirted.

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 3>That's what it looked like, a substance on her. Folks

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 3>who were in the room said it smelled terrible, like vinegar.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 3>He was immediately tackled and taken away and charged an

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 3>assault charged third.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Degree assault charge.

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 3>His name is fifty five year old Anthony Kazmirzik. I'm

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 3>not sure it's a tough name with a lot of consonants,

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 3>but that is his name. And now you pointed out

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 3>to me to look on X and to see what

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 3>one of the big trending topics is. And it's staged

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 3>because a lot of people have looked at this video

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 3>and are now claiming that it was staged, that this

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 3>wasn't a real attack, that this was orchestrated by Ilhan Omar.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>And between and within the past hour at least before

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>we came on. Staged, simply the word staged was the

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>number one trending topic on x as we sit here

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>now this recording, I see it's the number three trending topic.

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>But Rove, there's a lot of people talking about that,

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of obviously you would you know it's

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>coming from a certain segment of the political population. But

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>they are examining this video and they are breaking down

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>every head movement, every nod, every time her eyes move,

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and suggesting that she signaled to this.

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 4>Guy, go It was a very small head nod. I

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 4>looked for it.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 3>I was like, really, that's what you're pointing to as

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 3>the signal that she gave him to jump.

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Up and fake attack her. Look.

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Some people said that because he was sitting in the

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 3>front row, because the camera was fixated on him beforehand,

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 3>because of that head nod. They also say she didn't

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 3>duck like a normal person when she was attacked. They

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 3>said that the cameras were just too conveniently fixed on

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 3>this man. So, yes, there are people who are going

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 3>to say this and believe it and think that she

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 3>did this to insert herself and say now she's a

0:05:58.760 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 3>victim of a political ata.

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot, and yes, that's to be expected. What's

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>not to be expected? I think it throws a lot

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of people. I don't know her well. We've spent a

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>decent amount of time with her, always found her pleasant,

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know her well. We know what's reported, we know

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>about her public persona, in her background, at least to

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that degree. We also know what the president has been

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.359
<v Speaker 1>saying about her. That's pretty much it. You watch this

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>video robe, she didn't cower. In fact, she left the

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.679
<v Speaker 1>podium and went after this guy as he was being

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>grabbed by somebody, and she quite literally.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Put her fist up and was about to clock this guy.

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, for most people, you might see that and say

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>that is not a normal reaction. And then there are

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>other people from other segments of the population and go, yeah,

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I recognize that, like she's built different, she's from somewhere

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>else that her mindset could quite possibly be to And

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>by defending I don't run, I'm gonna come right back

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>at you. Now I don't know her personality, but I

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>recognized something in that video. When I saw her do that,

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, woa she.

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's to me the biggest point against anyone

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 3>who's claiming this was stage.

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 4>She was angry, she was pissed.

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 3>And people pointed to the fact that she just came

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 3>back in ten minutes, got a napkin, wiped her eyes,

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 3>and came back and finished.

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 4>But I see that.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:31.679
<v Speaker 3>As her actually reacting naturally. That was natural to her

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 3>from being attacked and thankfully not being hurt or injured

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 3>by what was ever, what was in that liquid, if

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 3>it was just vinegar, who knows, But I think that

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 3>was a reasonable response for somebody who was pissed off

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 3>and has been under attack verbally for months, like actually

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 3>last night while Trump was in Iowa talking about her again.

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember a speech recently where he hasn't invoked

0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 3>her name.

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>And saying how much money she has in the bank,

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that she married her brother, that she is not in

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the country legally, and that she should go back to

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>her shit country. He has said all those things publicly

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and has almost put a target on her to a

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>certain degree. So absolutely, this actually is probably in line

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>with what's to be expected. We should probably be fair

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to almost not be surprised that this hasn't happened. More

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>often you look at what happens we are and it

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>looks innocuous enough because it's just a clear liquid. It's

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>not some big even a cup of water or a

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>big cup of liquid. A couple of little squirts didn

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>hit her in the face, got her in the in

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the chest the torso area. So yes, no harm, but

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>no physical harm. There's a lot of harm in what

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>we just saw. Who's next?

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 4>Yes? And how is she? I mean, look, she she

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of took.

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 3>The situation and, as you pointed out, chased down this

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 3>guy and was visibly upset and continued on with her

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 3>with her speech. But I don't know, doesn't that wouldn't

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 3>that mess with your head to the next time you

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 3>were around folks, the next time you were in front

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 3>of a group.

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 4>What could possibly happen? I mean, that's just some scary stuff.

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 3>And in one of the posts on x I thought

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 3>this was interesting. They started it out saying, if you

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 3>think ilhan Omar's attack was legit, you might have the

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 3>IQ of a Somali just continuing that rhetoric of Somali's

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 3>being stupid and idiotic and not worth anything.

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 4>It's just it's frightening.

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>It's the same thing. I mean, we have something now,

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>We've given more red meat to extremists to go fight

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>about something. That's all. This is just a distraction from

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>something else. Who knows what this guy's motivations were, but

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>this is.

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 2>An this it's we thought things were going to come

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 2>down again. We mentioned Rose.

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>We have so many headlines and I almost felt silly

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>for being a little too optimistic because I thought yesterday

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>was really a turning point, and now it's it's blown

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>up in a signific second way here and this scene

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't ugly when we'll see what happens with him, don't know,

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>but rogues to think now that she stages, is this

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing? So we can't even agree about this?

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Now we can't believe anything. We everybody is up to something.

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>We don't trust anything we see.

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I had that same thought when I was reading these

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 3>ex posts, and I thought, wow, you even the video

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 3>that we see, we argue about what we're seeing. Anything

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 3>that happens, we question the validity of it, Is it real?

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 3>We can't trust videos, we can't trust images, we can't

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 3>trust people. No one trusts anyone. It's scary. That's scary,

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 3>all right.

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, ilhan Omar again not injured, and she did continue

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>on with her speech. Can you imagine other tell I

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>think some accusations or if you can tell at stage, obviously,

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>no woman, a woman should cower, a woman should run,

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>a woman should be scared. So given that this woman

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't do that, that's further evidence that is so offensive,

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>that is staged.

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 3>I read those same comments. That is so offensive. That's

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 3>not how women react.

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>President Trump would have gone back on that stage and

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>continued his speech if they would have let him after

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.679
<v Speaker 1>his ear was shot. Yes, right, you see how defiant

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>he was and a bullet just flew past him. But

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that's right, that's his reaction. But her reaction should have

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>been something else.

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.319
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, I did see on I'm sure

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 3>you saw two on X that folks on the other

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 3>side of the aisle were then putting up the President

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Trump being shot in the ear and saying this was staged.

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 4>So yes, that people were firing back with that.

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, yes, So again I got ahead of myself

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>saying things things are starting to calm down there in Minneapolis.

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Gild through of some of the other headlines. Internal review

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>this was done by Border Patrol. They do have to

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>do one of these, but this was based on a

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>bodycam footage that they reviewed. But I guess the headline heroe.

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Some of this stuff we already see ourselves from the video.

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.959
<v Speaker 1>But they did confirm it was more than one federal

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>agent that fired that day.

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and they mentioned two agents fired, that Preddy did resist,

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 3>but this was of note. They did not put in

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>this report that he had taken out his gun. There

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 3>was no mention of him brandishing his gun, taking out

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 3>his gun. However, they do mention that Border Patrol agents

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 3>on the scene there and that scuffle started yelling gun, gun, gun,

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.959
<v Speaker 3>And we heard that in the video for ourselves.

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>So some of that was obvious we saw already. But yes,

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>at least that detail about more than one agents firing

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 1>was of note. Also, Christine Omes, she has been you

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>know what she has been on TV. We see her

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>everywhere we get in line to take a plane, we

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>see her. She is everywhere these days because of what's

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>going on. But now folks robes are saying she should

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.199
<v Speaker 1>be out of a job. And if she isn't out

0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>of it, wait first, resign, don't resign, Trump, fire her. Trump,

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't fire We're going to impeach her.

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 3>That's where we are now, Yes, and yes, the Kim

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Jeffries of notes said Christinome should be fired immediately or

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 3>we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House. And that

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 3>impeachment resolution right now has one hundred and fifty sponsors

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 3>and of note, including those who were calling for her resignation,

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 3>as you might imagine, Democrats, but now two Republicans are

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 3>also calling for her resignation.

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's fairly significant right now. We should note, Yes,

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 1>they can talk about impeachment and beat the drum all

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>day long, but changes up an impeachment given that Republicans

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>control the House and the Senate, very very unlikely. Meanwhile,

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the President was talking yesterday he went to Iowa, he

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>had a speech, their plan, but on his way getting

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a board Air Force one, and then after he got

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to Iowa ropes he made several comments and what a

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 1>big word for the president to use.

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 3>D Yes, finally, that was long overdue and that was

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 3>what you were talking about yesterday and the hope you had,

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 3>the hope we all have had and that we continue

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 3>to have.

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.199
<v Speaker 4>But yes, it does matter.

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Words matter, And for him to say de escalate, he

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 3>said a little bit, but still take We'll take the.

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 4>Smallest amount of de escalation. It's better than the opposite.

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>He could have said anything, de escalate, slightly, de escalate,

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>just to I don't care what he said after de escalate,

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>long as the escalate came out of his mouth. He

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>did talk about Alex Pretty yesterday and that assassination. Excuse me,

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, excuse me, and talked about pretty and Pretty's killing.

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>You'll understand here in the second the word assassin I'm

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>reading in front of me. He was asked about whether

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>or not Pretty was an assassin. Those are words that

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Gregory Bavino, the former commander in charge there on the ground,

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>a word he used. President was asked specifically if he

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>thought Alex Pretty was an assassin. This was significant, It

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>was short, but it was significant.

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 4>He said no.

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 3>We had to rewind the video a couple of months

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 3>to hear him say it, because we saw the headlines like, wait,

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 3>did he say no?

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 4>He did say no.

0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 3>He did add that preddy should not have been carrying

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 3>a gun, which was interesting because that drew some iron

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 3>from the NRA, who said that President Trump should be

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 3>careful about what he says about gun ownership.

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 4>And then when he was asked about Bavino, this was

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 4>really interesting. He said, he's a pretty out there guy.

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that wasn't good here, So, yes, that was the

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 3>best you're going to get about him. Second guessing a

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 3>decision to put Vivino in Minneapolis.

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's what you say. I've said that the like,

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about friends or something. Somebody took somebody to a

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>priority and they cut off the night before and the

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>next day you talk about He said, Yeah, that dude's wild.

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 4>Any Yeah, maybe maybe you shouldn't have come to the party. Yeah.

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>You just kind of embrace and we all understand. But

0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to hear the president kind of dismiss he's something.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Man. It's interesting as we watched President Trump in some

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 3>of these very serious times where people choose their words

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 3>very carefully.

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 4>It's like he is just stream of consciousness.

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 3>He just says whatever he thinks and lets the chips

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 3>fall where they may.

0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Some of us in other people we seen to embrace

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>that or even encourage that from your president.

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's a little just concerning.

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe you should have thought about that before you said

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 4>it out loud. But okay, I mean, at least it's

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 4>an honest reaction.

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 3>I do think that you you can say that about him, you.

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Know, I think this was an honest reaction to about

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Renee Good. It's a bizarre thing to say. It also

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>got headlines. But he talked about Renee Good's parents. He

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>said Renee Good's parents were supporters of his and because

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>of that, it makes him feel a little differently about

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 1>her death the way he put to your point, stream

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of consciousness. But to hear him say it makes me

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>feel bad anyway. But I mean, I guess you could

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>say even worse. He was saying he feels even worse

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that she's dead because his parents are her parents are

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump supporters. Again, stream of consciousness, maybe that's true. It

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 1>far for him though, maybe he's making some point you

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>can understand. But he did say that out loud. But

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 1>stay here, folks, to federal judges made significant decisions and

0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 1>announcements yesterday that could change on the ground in Minneapolis.

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Stay here, all right, folks.

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>We continue on this Wednesday, last couple of things we

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>want to update your about happened in Minneapolis yesterday. One

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>of them, this is gonna be interesting to watch on Friday.

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>What's gonna happen on Friday? Because the acting director of

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.159
<v Speaker 1>ICE has been told to get his butt to court

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>in Minneapolis or else.

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Robes facing contempt of court charges if he does not

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 3>show up for court.

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh, the ICE director is he is he allowed to

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 4>take the fifth if he wants to?

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:41.359
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, no, it's not that. No no, no, no,

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry you made me stop in face.

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 2>No no, no, no, he's not.

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.720
<v Speaker 3>But if something that was being investigated, could somebody implicate

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 3>him in criminal activity? I was just curious, is he

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 3>actually going to have to sit there and testify?

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.159
<v Speaker 1>But he has to answer because the judge said he

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the judge called it dozens and we have robes, We've

0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot court activity there. But this judge said,

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>dozens of orders have been ignored by the administration, and

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 1>he said you need to get in here and answer

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.800
<v Speaker 1>for it and potentially contempt of court charges. Now, talk

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>about a headline in a video. If you see the

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>ICE director in handcuffs going to jail, that would be something.

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Tod Lyons is his name, And it's interesting with all

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 3>the names we've had floating around that we now know

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 3>are now household names, todd Lyons isn't up there for me.

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 3>So it's somehow he has been able to kind of

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 3>stay somehow beneath the fray, or at least the headlines.

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.440
<v Speaker 4>But he is the acting ice director and no more

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 4>for him come Friday.

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:41.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what, I think a lot of them would

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.439
<v Speaker 1>have preferred to stay under. The ice director is getting

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.120
<v Speaker 1>no attention right now.

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 3>Well he's about to get a big, bright white spotlight.

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:49.959
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, the last thing from a judge yesterday and again

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 1>this was the one that pulled that a lot of

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>heartstrings scrope the story five year old boy. Everybody saw

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>this video being detained along with his father. This was

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the last week. I said they were doing a targeted

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 1>operation going after the dad, who they say was in

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the country illegally, but he had just come home robed

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.880
<v Speaker 1>in the vehicle in the driveway with his son, five

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>year old.

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>The dad ran left the boy there.

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I stayed with the boy, but then they say they

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.199
<v Speaker 1>gave him an option. Do you want your child to

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:22.680
<v Speaker 1>go with you or not, and he said yes. So

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>they were both moved to a family detention facility in

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Texas that's getting worked out. The judge said, you cannot

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>deport the dad or the son until all this gets adjudicated.

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 1>But Robes, a lot of the damage was done, I

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.640
<v Speaker 1>say damage, but it was. Look, we should see what's

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 1>going on there, and we see a lot of clashes

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and violence. But man, to see those little five year

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 1>old eyes caught up in all of this, it was

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 1>an important picture to see.

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 3>It was because there was this sweet, little, innocent five

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 3>year old. And look, the others will say that they

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 3>used ice agents, use the five year old as bait

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.160
<v Speaker 3>to get the dad to come back, and used him

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 3>to try and and detain the dad, which is a

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 3>tactic that I don't think anybody in this country wants

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:04.680
<v Speaker 3>to see happen.

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 4>But yes, his sweet little hat he had on and.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Held, just come from school, and so yes, this is Look,

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 3>anytime we can humanize these stories. And yes, obviously folks

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 3>want the letter of the law to be followed. We

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 3>I think in this country have laws in place so

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 3>that they can be acted upon. Yes, that that's how

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 3>our country works. And yet still we need to see

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.400
<v Speaker 3>the human side of things sometimes, and that little boy

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 3>embodied what a lot of people are feeling.

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>We haven't put it together yet, the balance between law

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and order and decency.

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Like both things could be true. You could be an American.

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Who absolutely believes that undocumented folks who are here illegally

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 1>have skirted our laws should be picked up and they

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 1>should be taken out of the country. You can believe that,

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>but also think in doing so you show some humanity,

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:59.439
<v Speaker 1>some respect, some grace for the child or the mom

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:03.879
<v Speaker 1>or the spouse who's having that person pulled, plucked out

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of their life. We haven't found the right way to

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about it.

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.919
<v Speaker 3>Dehumanized the people here, and I say we but it

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 3>comes from the administration calling all and really truly throwing

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 3>this blanket over so many folks who are here undocumented

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 3>as rapists, murderers, the worst of the worst. And so

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 3>now we just have this in our heads that anyone

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 3>who's being arrested or who Ice is going after is

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 3>in that category, and it's just not always the case.

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 4>Obviously.

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, folks, we just wanted to hop on and give

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you that up I say that update. Those updates should

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 1>mention Tom Holman is there now. The new point person

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>did meet with Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis, and

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 1>also with Governor Waltz of Minnesota. By all the counts robes,

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.120
<v Speaker 1>those win fine and did nothing earth shattering, but had

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 1>good starts initial conversations. We'll keep an eye on what's

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 1>happening in Minneapolis today. We'll have the morning run up

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 1>for you here and just a little bit on the feed.

0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 1>We always appreciate you spending some time here with us.

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>But from dear Amy Robot, I'm t J.

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.960
