Sorder was provoking reactions 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.440 from protesters when he was then chased down the street 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:38.440 by a woman in a bird cost bird costume quote 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.720 swinging a large stick covered with. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.200 Feathers rested by Big Bird. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.960 According to court documents, the three people were arrested at 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.240 all charged with disorderly conduct, though sords charges have since 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:57.560 been dropped. Sordiers arrest ignited a right wing firestorm the 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.519 likes of which I have not seen since Early Kirk 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:01.399 was assassinated. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.280 I'm glad people are finally waking up to the ANTIFA 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.239 police department that rules Portland with an iron fist. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.040 For a long time. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.919 Tim Poole posted on x the Everything app. I'm calling 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.840 on the Trump administration to launch a legal challenge against 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.120 Oregon following the arrest of Nick Sorter and if necessary, 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.840 deployed National Guard Organs failed to uphold federal and state 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.320 law and we should not tolerate it. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:31.440 Oh and like Yeah, there was like a fight and 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.920 they detained people, and then the DA didn't press charges 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.040 against Sorter, and it's it's just it couldn't be more 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.360 of a nothing burger as an actual story. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:41.840 Nothing than burger. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.520 Yeah, but oh boy, but not according to the AG's office, 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.600 who quickly responded on it to Tim Poole's request, and 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.720 by Friday morning, the White House, the Attorney General, and 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.240 the Justice Department announced a quote unquote full investigation into 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:02.120 the arrest and the conduct of the Portland Police Bureau. Finally, 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.880 conservative influencer Benny Johnson, who's been embedded with ICE this 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.280 past week, posted on x Everything app quote important news. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.800 I spoke with DHS Secretary Christinome. She's been briefed on 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.320 the attack and arrest of journalists and Nick Sorder. Secretary 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.880 Nome tells me DHS will surge ICE resources in Portland. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.719 Quote Antifa is a terrorist group and will not control 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.760 our streets unquote. Thank you, Secretary Nome. Benny Johnson later 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.960 shared video captioned breaking. DHS Secretary Christinome has announced that 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.800 the Department of War will deploy to Portland and Chicago 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:40.040 within twenty four hours to crush left wing violence unquote. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.080 And here is the video with Christinome talking about the 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.600 quote unquote Antifa affiliated anti ICE protests. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.880 Well, you've got a presence in Portland as that is 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:55.000 Antifa affiliated, and so that is a situation where you 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.080 have known professionals targeted violence that want to tear down 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.719 America and while will apparently attack anyone, even journalists, they're 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.599 just trying to report the truth of what's happening. 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:04.840 On the streets. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.760 So we're not just going to be rolling out of 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.720 Chicago here, but we're sending in the Department of War 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.120 at the request that I made to Secretary Headset, they're 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.840 going to be rolling in here within the next twenty 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.360 four hours. They'll be coming to Chicago to I put 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.440 a request in today for them to come to Chicago, 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.480 and we're going to not only have our officers that 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.160 are out there with HSI and space, but we're also 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.520 going to have backup from our military, because everybody deserves that. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.960 And so what we saw happened to that journalist last 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.960 night will not happen again. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.520 Okay, Yeah, Benny Johnson showing a very professional journalism there 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.520 by just saying wow a lot. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.120 It's a pretty wild scene. Having like troops walk behind 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.520 Christy nome as this podcast or Grills Grills are on 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.080 sending the military to cities in front of a back cat. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:59.560 The reactions from the right after Nick Sorterer's arrest we're 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.000 pretty wild, with journalists going on Fox News claiming that 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:08.680 the Portland Police are affiliated with Antifa, and popular right 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:13.000 wing influencers on X like amuse saying, quote, the Portland 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.440 Police are now colluding with Antifa to prosecute federal officers 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.520 protecting the ICE facility. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:20.240 When has that happened. 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.640 Each time federal officers engage with Antifa, Portland Police liaisons 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.920 clutch statements and videos from Antifa to facilitate state criminal 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:32.320 charges against DHS. So somehow, in the year of Our 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.160 Lord twenty twenty five, the Portland Police Bureau is now Antifa, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.000 which is a truly miraculous state of affairs. After his 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:45.080 release Friday morning, next Order posted on X quote, You've 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.800 proved what we've all been saying for years. You're corrupt 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:52.080 and controlled by violent Antifa thugs who terrorize the streets. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.040 Referring to the Portland Police. I have been in direct 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.120 contact with top officials at DHS. What's coming in Portland 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.960 is unprecedented thanks to Portland police exposing themselves by arresting journalists. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:09.120 Great work, Portland, unquote. A day later, on October fourth, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.840 a Trump appointed federal judge granted the state of Oregon 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.160 and the City of Portland a temporary restraining order blocking 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.880 trumpenheag'sas federalization and deployment of two hundred organ National Guard 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.400 against the wishes of Oregon Governor Tina Kotec. The judge 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.000 found that existing local and federal law enforcement were sufficient 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.600 to police protests, that the Trump admin had mischaracterized the 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.160 reality of the current protests outside of the ice facility, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.480 and that violence against ICE in other parts of the 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:42.640 country is not sufficient justification for a local military deployment. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.840 It's worth noting this judge, Judge Immergant, number one, not 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.640 a woke judge, was literally, if you go back and 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.320 you watch the Monica Lewinsky hearings or the I mean, 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.640 this is the Clinton sex scandal hearings, but this is 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.040 the part of it in which Lewinsky was being grilled. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.200 Immigrant was the female lawyer that they brought out to 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.320 be incredibly cruel to Monica Lewinsky Because it wouldn't look 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:06.960 as often putting and wound up. 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:07.520 She wound up. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.679 Part of why Monica Lewinsky became so is she immigrant 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.440 looked fucking nuts and immigrant is the person who is 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.160 looking at it, who is going through all of the 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.080 claims made by the administration and going there's literally not 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.040 only is there no justification for the deployment of troops 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.520 in Portland, but everyone calling the shots at FPS and 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.600 Ice is like, everything's under control, we have no need 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.840 for additional people. Yeah, there's no real danger here. Like, 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.120 this is not a leftist judge. This is not a 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.280 judge with a political act to grind. This is a judge. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.240 But thirty years ago you would have called a far 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:43.840 right extremist. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:44.640 Yeah. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.600 I will quote a little bit from her ruling here. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:47.000 Quote. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.800 To accept the defendant's arguments, that's the federal's government would 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.720 be to render meaningless the extraordinary requirements of ten USC 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.559 one two four six by allowing the presidents to federalize 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.400 one states National Guard based on the events in a 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:07.000 different state or mere speculation about future events. In other words, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.520 violence elsewhere cannot support troop deployments here, and concern about 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.120 hypothetical future conduct does not demonstrate a present inability to 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:19.960 execute the laws using non military federal law enforcement quote. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.640 On the Trump Admin's argument that the presidents authorized to 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.719 federalize state National Guard in the case of rebellion or invasion, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:33.040 the judge concluded that the legal definition of rebellion requires quote. First, 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.679 a rebellion must not only be violent, but also armed. Second, 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.320 a rebellion must be organized. Third, a rebellion must be 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.800 open and avowed. Fourth, rebellion must be against the government 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.280 as a whole, often with the aim of overthrowing the government, 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.280 rather than in opposition to a single law or issue. Here, 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.880 the protests in Portland were not a rebellion and did 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.960 not pose a danger of rebellion, especially in the days 0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:00.800 leading up to the federalization. The judge found that the 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.319 president's federalization of the organ National Guard without proper statutory 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.839 authority under ten USC. One two four h six, exceeded 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.959 the president's constitutional authority, undermined organs sovereignty, and violated the 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.240 Tenth Amendment by infringing on organ's constitutional power to control 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.320 its own national guard, writing that the Trump admin Quote 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.000 interfered with the constitutional balance of power between the federal 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.240 and state governments. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.000 Unquote Yeah. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.120 Is that the one where she she said their argument 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.240 was untethered from the facts. Yeah, Yeah, I think that 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.800 was a pretty good, uh good summary of what's going 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:35.200 on here. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.000 Later that day, Stephen Miller went on News Nation to 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:45.120 talk about the quote unquote insurrectionists interesting word in Portland 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.720 and the new National Security Presidential memorandum to investigate dismantle 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.840 so called left wing terrorist networks. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.840 We're the federal government. We are not going to tolerate 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.880 a lawless insurrection. We're not going to tolerate domestic terrorism. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:01.440 And we are going after the Antifa rioters, thests, the 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.840 violent assaulters, and we are not only going after them, 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.560 we are going after their network. We are going after 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.160 their funders. Every time we make an arrest, we are 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.000 initiating an investigation into the. 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.920 Entire domestic terrorist network. 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.480 The President issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum in NSPN 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.760 making clear that it is the national security priority of 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.640 United States law enforcement to dismantle, disrupt, defeat, and destroy 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.360 these domestic terror networks. And that is exactly what is 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.439 taking place. It is what we are doing, it is 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:32.200 what will happen. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.240 His use of the word insurrection, there is important. A 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.720 day later, President Trump also used the term insurrectionists to 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.240 describe protests in Portland and complained about the federal judge 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.520 who blocked the deployment of National Guard, saying, quote, Portland 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.199 is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists. All 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.960 you gotta do is look at the television. It's burning 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.679 to the ground. The governor, the mayor, the politicians are 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.040 petrified for their lives. That judge ought to be a shamed. 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.480 And again, nothing's been burnt down. Nothing was burnt down 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.800 in twenty twenty. Most of the big nights that I 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.000 slately have been maybe two hundred people. You know, you've 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.440 had some more on a few occasions, but like it's 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.200 usually a lot less. It's probably just unnecessary for me 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.440 to correct all this, but I guess I can't fight 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.560 the urge to be like, none of this is accurate 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:21.319 to what's happening. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.359 Yeah, yeah, the simulation is more important than the reality. 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:25.520 Yeah. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:26.160 Yeah. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.959 Miller's done this before, right, Like he kind of likes 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.120 to use these words that exist in legislation and sort 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.240 of in point to the direction he wants things to go. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.880 I guess, yeah, like he did this by calling anti 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.520 for an enterprise. We sort as to an extent with 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.080 Title forty two and his reference to migrants to the 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.319 public health threat. This is kind of a trademark move 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:46.600 for him. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:51.000 Almost now, hours after the federal judge blocked the federalization 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:55.040 of Oregon National Guard, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:59.360 three hundred California National Guard to be deployed to Portland. 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.800 In the next day, he Texas Governor Greg Abbott authorized 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.880 four hundred Texas National Guard to be sent to Orgon 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.840 and Illinois in coordination with the Department of War. On 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.640 Sunday night, the federal judge that previously blocked the organ 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.360 National Guard federalization made another ruling blocking the deployment of 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.800 troops from California and Texas, finding that it was quote, 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:24.080 in direct contravention of her earlier tro This secondary toro 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:29.360 halted any federalization relocation or deployment of any Guard members 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.679 to organ from any state. The Trump administration has appealed 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.959 these rulings and oral arguments will be heard on Thursday, 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:41.320 October ninth in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Stephen 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.040 Miller called this ruling quote one of the most egregious 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.600 and thunderous violations of constitutional order we have ever seen, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.360 and is yet the latest example of unceasing efforts to 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:56.840 nullify the twenty twenty fourth election by FIAT unquote. By Monday, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.320 Miller told reporters, without going to specifics, that the present 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.559 quote has a very broad range and set of authorities 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.880 when it comes to deploying federal assets. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:06.800 Quote. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:12.080 That same day, Monday, Trump discussed the possibility of invoking 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.360 the Insurrection Act in a White House press conference. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.880 The Insurrection Act, Sir, what the Insurrection Act? Under what 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:20.960 conditions or terms would you? 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:21.360 Well? 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.240 I do it if it was necessary. So far it 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.000 hasn't been necessary. But we have an Insurrection Act for 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.920 a reason. If I had to enacted, I'd do that. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.120 If people were being killed and courts were holding us up, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.600 or governors or mayors were holding us up, Sure I 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.160 do that. I mean, I want to make sure that 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.800 people aren't killed. We have to make sure that our 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.880 cities are safe. And it's turning out, and we started 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.840 with DC it's been so successful. You look at what's 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.080 happened with Portland over the years. It's a burning hell hall. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.440 And then you have a judge that lost a way 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:03.040 that tries to protec and that like there's no problem. Actually, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.040 she's not even saying that there's a huge problem. Important. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.360 I'll tell you what the problem is. 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:07.800 Crime. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.680 Okay, crime. There's a huge problem in Chicago. It's called crime. 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.400 And we want to put out the crime, and they 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:16.520 want to inflame the crime. 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:18.400 Oo booy. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.360 Sure, that's the clearest statement we've gotten from the President 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.960 on the conditions in which he would invoke the Insurrection Act. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.880 I think specifically pointing towards governors, mayors, or courts that 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:37.040 prevent ice from completing immigration actions in those cities and counties. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.440 Yeah, and that's the thing that we've gotten from him. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.200 That's the most specific indication of things that are happening 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.160 right now that could cause him to do it. We 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.080 still don't have a direct I'm going to do it, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.360 but I think it's pretty clear from this that he 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.120 wants to these people in the circles I'm talking about, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:55.840 wanting to do it for a long time, and I 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.040 think this is in some ways the closest we've gotten 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:58.360 to it. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.120 Yeah, and that's why you have tole like Miller and 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.360 Trump himself using the word insurrection when describing what's happening 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.480 to establish a pretext to actually follow through on that 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.960 and declare the Insurrection Act when it suits them. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.040 Yeah, I think it's worth noting mellas doing. Miller is 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.520 often the originator of many of these kind of legal theories. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.960 This one has made its way to Trump. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.320 I'm going to declare an ad break, and then we 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:40.600 will return to finish our reporting on war ravaged Portland. Okay, 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:46.440 we are back. DHS Secretary Christy Nome has made some 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:52.000 pretty fantastic claims about the nature of these protests and 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:56.160 the threats facing ICE agents, both in Chicago and Portland, 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.240 and I'm just gonna play her clip from Fox News 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.800 here talking about the threats to ICE. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.280 Our intelligence indicates that these people are organized, They're getting 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.879 more and more people on their team as far as 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.080 attacking officers, and they're making plans to ambush them and 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.439 to kill them. We have specific officers and agents that 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.520 have bounties that have been put out on their heads. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.600 It's been two thousand dollars to kidnap them, ten thousand 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.560 dollars to kill them. They've released their pictures, they've sent 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.440 them between their networks, and it's an extremely dangerous situation 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.679 and unprecedented. So we've put protective detail around those individuals, 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.439 change some of our operations to keep our officers safe. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.120 But make no mistake, this isn't just about protesting free 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.879 speech or that they don't like that people out here 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.440 are upholding the law of our country. They're actually going 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.359 out there and saying, kill these people, and we'll give 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.600 you this much money to do it. 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.280 It's quite a specific claim, isn't it. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:56.640 What she's doing there is conflating alleged cartel bounties on 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.400 ICE agents with protests happening out the site of ICE facilities, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.680 making it sound like the protesters are putting ten thousand 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:08.320 dollars kill bounties on ICE officers. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.640 Man, let me tell you, nobody who's out at ICE 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:16.440 right now has collectively ten grand to put towards a bounty. 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.160 Yeah, what are we doing here? 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:27.840 On Tuesday, October seventh, Christinom arrived in Portland, Oregon, along 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.280 with her conservative podcaster sidekick Benny Johnson, who has been 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:35.760 live streaming ICE operations in Chicago with NOME. Benny posted 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:40.200 on x everything app breaking DH Secretary Christinomes stares down 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.520 army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.320 from the rooftop of the ice facility here in Portland. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.000 Finally someone took that chicken guy down to size. 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.080 I want to play the video that I think one 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.320 of us should like set this stage for what we're seeing. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:56.680 Sector. 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.199 Do you have a message to the protesters, especially the 0:18:59.200 --> 0:18:59.960 man in the chicken outfit? 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:02.720 Man on the chicken out but I just see him, 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:08.080 no goodness, you could do better. Our goal is that 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.200 people would peacefully protest, but that we would still be. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:15.040 Allowed to enforce the law in this country. Too bad 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:16.680 the uneducated and niliform. 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.439 If you look at this protest, there's about what twenty 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:27.200 people on the street corner adjacent to the ice facility, 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.720 nearly as many journalists and photographers as there are protesters. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.280 And this is what Bennie Johnson is describing as an 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:38.560 army of Antifa, is these twenty people holding signs across 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.159 from like a police line on the edge of the 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.440 ice facility. At a later point, Benny zooms into another 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:49.040 street corner which similarly has about a dozen people over 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.840 a one block away from the ice facility. This is 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:56.119 the army of Antifa that Bennie Johnson is referring to 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.760 as he, along with Nick Sorder stand with on the 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.639 roof of the ice facility surveying the area, which is 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.520 just a fantastical sequence of events. We time traveled and 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.040 told me that five years ago that Christy Nome and 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:13.639 Betty Johnson are going to be on the roof of 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.800 the ice facility calling a man in a chicken outfit 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.760 an army of Antifa. I guess I could believe you, 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.760 but it would still I guess it would still be 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:21.240 upsetting it. 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.639 I wouldn't be happy, but I wouldn't like, I wouldn't 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:26.440 like argue with you. I'd be like, yeah, I mean 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.040 that sounds like a natural extension of where things are 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:30.280 at this point in time. 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.600 On Tuesday night, Nome went on Fox News to talk 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.080 about a meeting she had with local law enforcement and 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.080 the mayor where she threatened to send four times as 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.000 many federal forces into Portland, Oregon. 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:45.520 Sure man, I. 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.840 Told them what we wanted. We wanted more security here 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.040 at the building, a bigger buffer zone to keep our 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.800 officers safe. We wanted to have their streets opened up 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.600 again and not let the anarchists run this city anymore. 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.199 That we would ask them to continue to back us 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.920 up like we've been asked looking for, instead of what 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.280 they've been doing the last several months, which is just 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.960 leaving our officers hang out to dry. The chief asked 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:08.199 if I wanted to meet with the mayor, and I 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:11.000 said absolutely, came back and just met with a mayor, 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.040 and I'm so extremely disappointed he's continuing to play politics. 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.200 Did not commit to any of those promises and said 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.080 that he'd give me an answer by tomorrow, and I'm 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:22.840 hopeful that he will. What I told him is that 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.760 if he did not follow through on some of these 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.720 security measures for our officers, we were going to cover 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:30.600 him up with more federal resources, and that we were 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.120 going to send four times the amount of federal officers 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:36.040 here so that the people of Portland could have some safety. 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:43.480 Again, almost no one's even there. I can't exaggerate the 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.760
