Speaker 1: Hey there, folks, it is Thursday, January fifteenth, and an
Speaker 1: Ice agent has shot somebody else in Minneapolis. And with that,
Speaker 1: welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ at Breaking
Speaker 1: development overnight robes. It's crazy. It was exactly a week
Speaker 1: ago that Renee Good was shot and killed. But yes,
Speaker 1: it was another chaotic night, chaotic scenes. And yes, somebody
Speaker 1: else has been shot, is the headline.
Speaker 2: Yes, and this is exactly what Minneapolis authorities have been
Speaker 2: warning of and have been afraid of, and yes it
Speaker 2: has happened again.
Speaker 3: The man was shot in the leg.
Speaker 2: Thankfully he is recovering in the hospital with non life
Speaker 2: threatening injuries.
Speaker 3: We want to point that out.
Speaker 2: This thankfully did not result in a death like we
Speaker 2: saw a week ago. But yes, as you might imagine,
Speaker 2: then the streets of Minneapolis got filled with more protesters
Speaker 2: and things got uglier overnight.
Speaker 3: And it's just a mess in Minneapolis, and.
Speaker 1: It has been ugly since a week ago. So yes,
Speaker 1: as we sit here, it's Thursday, January fifteenth. Renee Good
Speaker 1: was killed on January seventh. So last week we have
Speaker 1: seen clashes and we have seen confrontations, we should say,
Speaker 1: in the street. You've seen some of these videos and
Speaker 1: they continue. But you see these clashes popping up. We
Speaker 1: hear flash bangs, you see tear gash, you see rubber bullets.
Speaker 1: You see actually some people on the streets there physically
Speaker 1: assaulting some ICE agents, and if they're not doing them that,
Speaker 1: then oftentimes they're in their face and trying to instruct
Speaker 1: what they're doing. What we're saying is those scenes are
Speaker 1: just a moment away from exploding into something larger. This
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily the case. We'll describe what DHS says, but Robes.
Speaker 1: The point is, even if somebody hadn't been shot overnight,
Speaker 1: we might still be doing this story because that is
Speaker 1: what's happening on.
Speaker 2: The streets exactly. We're just one one tense moment away
Speaker 2: from another significant story coming out of Minneapolis. But yes yesterday,
Speaker 2: what this is according to Department of Homeland Security, they
Speaker 2: say that they had a targeted arrest.
Speaker 3: They said that they found a man who was here.
Speaker 2: Illegally from Venezuela, and they say that the man fled
Speaker 2: on foot after they pursued him and he attacked the
Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security. The ICE officer when he reached
Speaker 2: him and with a shovel, they said, and then two
Speaker 2: people they say, came out of a home and actually
Speaker 2: also started assaulting the Department of Homeland Security officer, who
Speaker 2: then said he feared for his life.
Speaker 1: So they so to set up the scenario again, folks,
Speaker 1: you're talking about. At least according to DHS, this was
Speaker 1: a situation in which their officer was attacked and then
Speaker 1: he was attacked by other people who came out of
Speaker 1: a building and started hitting him with shovel, a snowshovel specifically,
Speaker 1: they said, and a broom handle. So they set up
Speaker 1: a scenario with which this man was attacked by three
Speaker 1: people and he fired his weapon. They then fled and
Speaker 1: barricaded themselves in a home, and this situation kind of continued.
Speaker 1: This is not the same type of scenario we were
Speaker 1: talking about with Renee Good. However, this does set up
Speaker 1: a situation. Look, this was different. They said they were
Speaker 1: there doing a legal they were doing a targeted enforcement action,
Speaker 1: and we're picking up this particular individual who was in
Speaker 1: the country illegally. The story now robes plays out a
Speaker 1: little differently, and maybe the debate plays out a little differently,
Speaker 1: where you heard Minnesota officials instead of attacking DHS for
Speaker 1: what they did to this one individual or defending this
Speaker 1: one individual. They were more so pleading with the public,
Speaker 1: please don't give the Trump administration debate.
Speaker 2: Yes, actually we heard once again from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob
Speaker 2: Frye who said, go home. We cannot counter Donald Trump's
Speaker 2: chaos with our own brand of chaos.
Speaker 3: And that is what we did see and.
Speaker 2: Have been seeing on the streets of Minneapolis, where we
Speaker 2: have protesters throwing ice, throwing snow, throwing fireworks, even and
Speaker 2: in some cases rocks at ICE agents. Obviously that is
Speaker 2: not going to end well, that is only going to
Speaker 2: escalate the situation and it's not going to make ICE leave.
Speaker 1: No, and you're actually giving them a valid reason to
Speaker 1: arrest or harass your ass. I mean, some of these
Speaker 1: videos we are seeing and this is we cannot, we
Speaker 1: cannot and please do not suggest we are doing that.
Speaker 1: We cannot put it all on the protesters. Obviously we're
Speaker 1: not doing that. The folks will always go back to
Speaker 1: will they shouldn't be there in the first place, the
Speaker 1: ICE agents and none of this would be possible. But
Speaker 1: they are being met on the streets, sometimes robes with violence. Yes,
Speaker 1: they are being met with confrontations angry, and we have
Speaker 1: given some of the ice agent's credit for Wow, that
Speaker 1: person is really and you can't imagine why you just
Speaker 1: wouldn't shove somebody or curse somebody out. And it's just ugly.
Speaker 1: And it hasn't slowed down yet.
Speaker 2: Yes, and not to but imagine I was trying to
Speaker 2: imagine being an ice agent knowing you or there doing
Speaker 2: your job. You are actually following the law, and when
Speaker 2: you have people taunting you, throwing things at you, cursing
Speaker 2: at you, that does take a lot of restraint to
Speaker 2: stay calm and to not react. But you're asking both sides,
Speaker 2: who are impassioned and feel they are doing the right thing,
Speaker 2: to not take de bait.
Speaker 1: But it's never the right thing. We should always say
Speaker 1: that it's never the right thing to put your hands
Speaker 1: on a member of law enforcement because.
Speaker 2: You're pissed, or to run away from law enforcements, to
Speaker 2: not follow law enforcements orders. At that point, you have
Speaker 2: to follow the rule of the land. That is the
Speaker 2: only way things go forward. I thought it was interesting
Speaker 2: something else that may Or Fry said, because this is
Speaker 2: exactly what we are seeing right now the streets of Minneapolis.
Speaker 2: He said, we cannot be at a place right now
Speaker 2: in America where we have two governmental entities that are
Speaker 2: literally fighting one another. I hadn't thought about it that way,
Speaker 2: but that is exactly what we are seeing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you have more ICE agents than you do,
Speaker 1: police officers than Minnecus.
Speaker 2: Six hundred police officers, three thousand ice officers.
Speaker 1: Where we are on the streets right now and there's
Speaker 1: no resolute The two sides don't seem to be talking
Speaker 1: outside of press conferences and lobbing. You know, Minnesota officials,
Speaker 1: they are absolutely obviously they were pissed on day one
Speaker 1: after Renee Good. But Robes yesterday you did see it
Speaker 1: looks a different tone. I give Governor Waltz credit, but
Speaker 1: you know Jacob Fry. Mayor Fry is not helped with
Speaker 1: the tone in a lot of ways. And we understand
Speaker 1: you want to give him that grace to be angry
Speaker 1: and pissed about what's happening to his citizens. But right
Speaker 1: now there's a responsibility to help keep your city and safe.
Speaker 1: And part of that he told them flat out get
Speaker 1: off the streets, like stop doing what you're doing, go home. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's telling them like it's getting too hot, and last
Speaker 1: night hot is what we saw. Now, DHS did put
Speaker 1: out a statement completely explaining what happened in the situation,
Speaker 1: just like they did around Renee Good, and they did
Speaker 1: this fairly quickly. But a long tweet that they sent out,
Speaker 1: and in the first line of it, we're going to
Speaker 1: share it and what DHS says happened. But in the
Speaker 1: first line rode how did Joe Biden get a part
Speaker 1: of this situation? The first line to explain what happened
Speaker 1: last night includes Joe Biden's name.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can see President Trump's stamp on every single
Speaker 2: bit of information that is released by pretty much any
Speaker 2: government agency these days, and certainly this sounds just like
Speaker 2: something he would say. So this is the first line
Speaker 2: of the statement. At six fifty pm Central time, federal
Speaker 2: law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in
Speaker 2: Minneapolis of an illegal in from Venezuela who was released
Speaker 2: into the country by Joe Biden in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, what does that mean? Is that true?
Speaker 1: It literally sounds like Joe Biden went to a jail
Speaker 1: to put the key in the damn cell unlocked. It
Speaker 1: opened it and then gave the guy a ride in
Speaker 1: the car to wherever he wanted to go. This is
Speaker 1: what it sounds like, and that's the point of this.
Speaker 1: But to think, this man, where's Joe Biden right now?
Speaker 1: Getting cancer treatment somewhere doing whatever? And he comes out
Speaker 1: of this administration's mouth every day.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely every day, and sometimes multiple times today it is.
Speaker 3: You feel like, no, surely not this time, and then
Speaker 3: it just keeps on happening.
Speaker 2: But the statement goes on to say that this person
Speaker 2: who was here illegally, in an attempt to evade arrest,
Speaker 2: the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed
Speaker 2: into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.
Speaker 2: The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on
Speaker 2: foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began
Speaker 2: to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject
Speaker 2: and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground,
Speaker 2: two subjects came out of a nearby apartment also attacked
Speaker 2: the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and a
Speaker 2: broom handle. It goes on to say, as the officer
Speaker 2: was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the
Speaker 2: original subject got loose and began striking the officer with
Speaker 2: the shovel or broomstick. Fearing for his life and safety
Speaker 2: as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer
Speaker 2: fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject
Speaker 2: was hit in the left.
Speaker 1: Now, how is this going to be? I'm very curious
Speaker 1: today because as we're recording this, folks, again, this was
Speaker 1: an overnight development, so a lot of people having gotten
Speaker 1: this news and a lot of debate about it. Has
Speaker 1: it necessarily taken place? How is this story going to
Speaker 1: be spun differently about them being there versus the renee
Speaker 1: good story. Will it all be lumped together saying, see, look,
Speaker 1: Ice is behaving badly, or will this one kind of
Speaker 1: go by the wayside? Nobody wants to talk about this
Speaker 1: one from the Minneapolis side of things.
Speaker 2: Correct, Because if this does look like the person who
Speaker 2: was being targeted or the person who was shot was
Speaker 2: actually here illegally and behaved illegally by running and of
Speaker 2: trying to evade arrest.
Speaker 1: But the larger point, right, Biden let him out. Minneapolis
Speaker 1: is protecting him. We had to come in and get
Speaker 1: this guy off the street who attacked the federal agent
Speaker 1: who is in the country illegally. See, this is why
Speaker 1: we're here. We're the heroes. They have the storyline, now
Speaker 1: this one, on this one, they have the storyline, and
Speaker 1: so this is all this is going to be. With
Speaker 1: the back and forth.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely.
Speaker 2: In fact, the last line of the statement kind of
Speaker 2: sums it up where this is headed, where this storyline
Speaker 2: is going. They're hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and
Speaker 2: women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end.
Speaker 2: Federal law enforcement officers are facing a thirteen hundred percent
Speaker 2: increase in assaults against them as they put their lives
Speaker 2: on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.
Speaker 1: They're following their order. I mean, what do you do?
Speaker 1: I mean the tactics. We talked about this. It's ridiculous
Speaker 1: to think, But what would happen if an ice officer
Speaker 1: just went up and politely said something to someone and
Speaker 1: can you move? They would tell you this is impossible.
Speaker 1: What if the citizens came out there? I said this,
Speaker 1: It sounds so stupid, doesn't it. I said, what if
Speaker 1: people put together little care packages and walked out there. Here, guys,
Speaker 1: here are some handwarmers for you. Here, guys, here's a
Speaker 1: couple of twizzlers, here's a bottle of water. Like, we
Speaker 1: are still American citizens. We are fighting each other, but
Speaker 1: that's your family, that's your brother, that's your countrymen. And
Speaker 1: to see us going at it like this in such
Speaker 1: angry and violent ways, it's I mean, were running out
Speaker 1: of word to it.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's tough and like and like phrased it. Two
Speaker 2: government entities fighting each other. Which side do you choose?
Speaker 2: I mean it's your state represents or your federal government.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is scary times. This is scary stuff
Speaker 2: we're seeing playing out.
Speaker 1: Scary Go to the line, it's there, the one above
Speaker 1: the one you just so the next to the last line,
Speaker 1: and there's something in there that's incredibly scary that when
Speaker 1: partnered with something else coming out of another member of
Speaker 1: the administration, you'll see why this is raising alarm bells.
Speaker 2: You see that this is yes, this attack on another
Speaker 2: brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota's top leaders,
Speaker 2: Governor Waltz and Mayor Fry are actively encouraging an organized
Speaker 2: resistance to Ice and federal law enforcement officers.
Speaker 3: And this is like civil.
Speaker 1: War talk, organized resistance, organized resistance folks, pay attention to
Speaker 1: that phrase organized resistance because it goes in line with
Speaker 1: another word we are hearing coming out of the administration,
Speaker 1: and in particular one member of the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: that's raising alarm bells once again that the Insurrection Act
Speaker 1: is on its way. Stay here, all right, folks, we
Speaker 1: continue here on Amy and TJ. On this Thursday, January fifteenth,
Speaker 1: some overnight developments out of Minneapolis. Like I said, Robes,
Speaker 1: even if someone hadn't been shot, we might still be
Speaker 1: hopping on and doing this breaking development. But it was
Speaker 1: a hell of a night and an ugly night in
Speaker 1: Minneapolis on the streets. Protests once again, hundreds thousands in
Speaker 1: the streets, but also a lot of clashes. You see
Speaker 1: flash bangs, rubber bullets trying to disperse crowds, and sometimes
Speaker 1: the protests demonstrators are pushing back, assaulting a lot of
Speaker 1: the officers. So you see these happen. But Robes, of course,
Speaker 1: the headline is that another person was shot. This person
Speaker 1: of Venezuelan migrant, they say, who was in the country illegally,
Speaker 1: who they were trying to arrest. He did resist. Others
Speaker 1: joined in and beating up on a ice agent and
Speaker 1: he fired shot that person in the leg, non life
Speaker 1: threatening injuries, but again just adds to the scene overnight ropes.
Speaker 1: You remember on some of these the Insurrection Act kept
Speaker 1: coming up, like the President wants to use the Insurrection Act,
Speaker 1: and the key component of that was you have to
Speaker 1: prove there was an organized resistance in some of these cities,
Speaker 1: and that's not something he's been able to prove necessary.
Speaker 2: No, but now we are hearing that exact phrase used
Speaker 2: in language by the Department of Homeland Security to describe
Speaker 2: exactly what they say is happening in Minneapolis. So yes,
Speaker 2: with just a week apart, these two shootings, one resulting
Speaker 2: in the death of Renee Good and the other resulting
Speaker 2: in the hospitalization of a Venezuelan migrant who DHS says
Speaker 2: was here illegally. But still you've got the situation where
Speaker 2: people are upset. Now you've had protests each night, they've
Speaker 2: been relatively peaceful. But yes, we are seeing the videos
Speaker 2: and it has been confirmed protest are throwing fireworks, rocks,
Speaker 2: ice snow at these officers, taunting them, screaming at them,
Speaker 2: and it has gotten ugly in moments.
Speaker 3: And so are these just protesters.
Speaker 2: Or is this some sort of organized, organized situation. I mean,
Speaker 2: when you have now fran Waltz are telling people to
Speaker 2: go home, they aren't telling protesters to not take the bait.
Speaker 2: They are asking folks to get out of the streets.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is well past midnight. The reports were
Speaker 2: coming in and local officials were begging, urging residents to
Speaker 2: go home.
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the weather there, but it hasn't
Speaker 1: seemed to put much of a damper.
Speaker 3: Really cold.
Speaker 1: But I wonder how much worse things would be if
Speaker 1: this was fall or spring or summer, if they would
Speaker 1: have that many more people out there. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's helping the situation. It doesn't seem to be
Speaker 1: helping that much because we got somebody shot and we're
Speaker 1: seeing these clashes. But I wanted to mention that we're
Speaker 1: seeing and pay attention to you see more about resistance,
Speaker 1: armed resistance, organized resistance, and using the word insurrection because
Speaker 1: there is an insurrection. I mentioned this, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to rogues because you know, I check every morning what's trending.
Speaker 1: Sure enough, Insurrection Act was trending online. Insurrection Act. Everybody's
Speaker 1: called send it in now and voke it now and
Speaker 1: all these things. But a member of the administration Todd Lance,
Speaker 1: a deputy Attorney general without this statement saying ICE operates
Speaker 1: in thousands of counties without incident, men and women doing
Speaker 1: their jobs protecting us from criminal aliens. Minnesota insurrection is
Speaker 1: a direct result of failed governor and a failed terrible
Speaker 1: mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It's disgusting. Waltz and Fry.
Speaker 1: I'm focused on stopping you from your terrorism by whatever
Speaker 1: means necessary. This is not a threat, it's a promise.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Shit.
Speaker 2: So now you've got members of the federal government in
Speaker 2: the Department of Justice wing saying they are going to
Speaker 2: pursue potentially criminal charges against the governor and mayor of
Speaker 2: a state that they don't like how it's being run.
Speaker 1: Sweetheart, terrorists, wrists, stop you from your terrorism. Wow. Those
Speaker 1: words I think are chosen for a reason. Terrorism and
Speaker 1: the Minnesota insurrection. I think they're putting up a test balloon.
Speaker 1: Well maybe not.
Speaker 3: This isn't it's not a threat. It's a promise.
Speaker 1: They don't do subtlely necessary, he said.
Speaker 3: It is not a threat, it is a promise. So
Speaker 3: there is more to come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and more to come, and keep an eye on
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Minneapolis today and in coming days. And do
Speaker 1: whatever you can today, folks, no matter where you are
Speaker 1: in the country, to bring temperature down in your world,
Speaker 1: around your world and your office and your neighborhood and
Speaker 1: your community, and maybe even at your dinner table. Jesus
