00:07:14.400In our way, in our golden age, has just begun.
00:07:17.800This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:19.780Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:24.440Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:07:30.920All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live here, Human Events Daily.
00:07:36.260And while we're focused on so many of the operations, Operation Metro Surge that's going on down in, or I should say up in Minneapolis,
00:07:44.540I also want to talk about what's going on around the country to make our country safe again, to make our country be able to defend itself again.
00:07:51.960And we're very excited to bring on once again the press secretary for the Department of War, Kingsley Wilson.
00:07:57.800I'm doing great, Jack. Thanks for having me.
00:08:00.820So we had a RAV correspondent that was embedded, Benny Ray Harmony, with Secretary Hegseth for the Arsenal of Freedom Tour, the kickoff that's going on.
00:08:11.940Why is it that the mainstream media seems so upset about this, where it's simply where the Secretary of War is going out and talking about, it seems to me, new technology, new innovations for the warfighter?
00:08:26.140Absolutely. We're really excited here at the department about this initiative, about everything we're doing when it comes to new technology and reforming the acquisition system.
00:08:36.240For too long in this country, we have relied on defense contractors that had monopolies on defense
00:08:43.040contracts and that didn't deliver equipment on time. And they often delivered that equipment
00:08:48.600way over budget, way over cost. The president has started to highlight this and is taking action.
00:08:55.480So we're really proud to be going around the country. We're visiting the primes, of course,
00:09:00.220but we're also engaging with a lot of new emerging companies that are really innovating.
00:09:05.160We're going to make sure that if you're a small company and you're innovating and you can get our warfighters something fast and efficient, we want to work with you.
00:09:14.620Under the Obama administration, companies like SpaceX and Palantir had to actually sue the department just to be able to compete for department contracts.
00:27:05.940where's jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:27:12.220great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always
00:27:19.700talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting
00:27:24.640all right jack we are back live here human events daily we're honored once again to be on with
00:27:33.980Tricia McLaughlin of the Department of Homeland Security. Tricia, how are you?
00:27:38.900Hey, Jack, I'm good. Thank you for having me.
00:27:42.020Well, I don't know if you caught it, and I'm sure you guys are tracking, but we just ran the numbers,
00:27:47.100and it looks like the crowdfunding, the groundswell of support from Americans,
00:27:52.620regular Americans for Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who was injured, has just reached over
00:27:57.520$1 million all in between the two fundraisers that he has going. And as incredible as that is,
00:28:03.660I wanted to check with you if you had any update on his medical status, because we also, you know, of course, heard the news, horrible news that he had this internal bleeding.
00:28:13.520And obviously, we know that can lead to a lot of complications.
00:28:20.720I know he's, of course, out of the hospital.
00:28:23.480But, you know, we are praying for him and his family.
00:28:26.380This is a very seasoned law enforcement officer who's been vilified and dragged through the mud when he was being targeted with a deadly weapon.
00:28:36.940And he used his training and saved his own life and potentially the lives of his fellow law enforcement officers.
00:28:44.440So we know he's spending time with his family.
00:28:46.440He's on leave right now, but we're praying for him and pulling for him.
00:28:54.000And I think it's something, too, where these officers, and you see this happening again and again when I see Mayor Frye up there demonizing the ICE agents, you can see the police officers standing next to him on the podium, kind of grimace and turn away.
00:29:10.860What is happening with these local politicians when they keep putting targets on the backs of law enforcement?
00:29:18.980And we've seen the images, and we continue to see the images out of Minneapolis.
00:29:22.880Our law enforcement officers are being spit on. They are pouring cold water on the ground so that our ICE law enforcement vehicles will slide, crash and potentially kill them.
00:29:34.900Of course, we're seeing these vehicle rammings. That is a new tactic that we're seeing increasingly.
00:29:41.320There has been a 3,200 percent increase in those vehicle rammings. We've seen 15 in the last week alone out of Minneapolis.
00:29:49.160So as to your point, what Walsh and Fry are doing is putting a target on our law enforcement's back.
00:29:56.700But it's not just ICE, CBP and DHS law enforcement.
00:30:02.280The average lunatic isn't going to know the difference between federal law enforcement and state and local law enforcement.
00:30:08.480So this is really putting every law enforcement officer in danger.
00:30:12.480And you also see the media's culpability of it.
00:30:15.580You just mentioned the name of our officer.
00:30:17.700And I was just on CNN earlier today and they were completely blaming him for the death of this woman instead of the fact of the matter that this woman was committing federal crimes by not only stalking, harassing and impeding law enforcement, then, of course, weaponizing her vehicle and using it as a deadly weapon against our law enforcement officer.
00:30:39.680So what we really want to see on the ground, Jack, is we want to see cooperation from state and local law enforcement.
00:30:47.000That would make really quell the situation at hand. It would make the public much safer.
00:30:51.720It would make our law enforcement much safer so that they could actually call state and local law enforcement for backup as they're being attacked, as they're being assaulted or as their duties and operations are being obstructed.
00:31:04.720But we're not seeing that from Tim Walz, from Fry. They're simply obstructing operations.
00:31:10.520well and and to even take that a step back the this all started because the the reason that
00:31:18.540these raids are taking place is because they refuse to honor the ICE detainers in the first
00:31:22.980place and that's the reason that you don't see these in in red states or in states that aren't
00:31:27.800sanctuary cities because it's so much safer for everyone for residents for family members for
00:31:35.640the agents involved, for anyone involved, to simply, if there's a case like this, to hand
00:31:41.240them over at a jailhouse or a courthouse where it can be done in a safe manner, assuming, of course,
00:31:46.820by the way, that there isn't a judge who tries to sneak them out the back door, which of course
00:31:51.940happened once. Oh, yeah, exactly. Out of Wisconsin there. Jack, that is such a great point you're
00:31:57.860making. I mean, for example, out of Minneapolis in the last year, we've made a little over 10,000
00:32:03.000arrests. And you've seen the chaos. You've seen the violence against law enforcement. You've seen
00:32:08.140the really threat to public safety because of these riots and violent agitators. But then you
00:32:13.980look at Florida. We've made over 40,000 arrests down there. And yet you see calm. You see peace.
00:32:20.080And why is that? Because state and local law enforcement are empowered to work with their
00:32:24.740federal law enforcement partners. Us at DHS, they're allowed to hand these criminal illegal
00:32:29.860aliens from their jails, from their custody, over to us to have a peaceful transfer so that
00:32:34.820we can make sure not only is justice had, but also we're getting these people the heck out of
00:32:38.440our country. And so you don't need to see these high level, high visibility, and of course,
00:32:45.360high risk raids that are going on because of these sanctuary policies in the first place.
00:32:50.920And unfortunately, they do. And I just, it reminds me of in 2020, in the summer of 2020,
00:32:57.240I reported on Chaz out in Seattle and it was this instance where these left wing agitators got in
00:33:03.960and they were fighting with police and then they took over this area and you had business owners
00:33:08.240and you have shopkeepers and you had a car dealership. I was there the night where they
00:33:13.040broke into the car dealership and they were stealing keys and they smashed the the gate of
00:33:17.640this. And so they're taking the key so they can steal the cars that are all sitting on the lot.
00:33:21.200That's all the inventory. And where did those people who get caught in the crossfire of any of
00:33:26.260this thing. Where did they go for recompense? Now, certainly, thank God, by the way, that
00:33:30.680most of those people were safe, but there were some shootings. And unfortunately, there were
00:33:34.560some killings by the left-wingers in Seattle. In that case, the residents, and I believe the
00:33:41.120property owners, the business owners joined together. I just pulled this up. They joined
00:33:44.800together. They sued the city of Seattle and received a settlement, $3.6 million that took
00:33:51.120place afterwards. So I wonder, does Jacob Fry or Tim Walz, are they even considering the fact
00:33:56.660that they are the ones putting their own citizens at risk here?
00:34:02.360I don't think that they care, Jack. I think that this is about politics. This isn't about public
00:34:06.760safety. Flashback to two weeks ago where Tim Walz stepped down because of this rampant
00:34:13.040fraud investigation. We've seen at least $9 billion in fraud out of Minneapolis. And then,
00:34:19.680And of course, we've surged Homeland Security investigators there to be really following
00:34:23.500that money, getting accountability and getting answers for the American people, which every
00:34:27.700single day we are one step closer to getting that and getting these answers.
00:34:32.300And I think that this is a deflection tactic.
00:34:34.260I don't think that he minds seeing these riots, even if there is violence and he's putting
00:34:38.440his own constituents in harm's way by encouraging this and encouraging resistance against federal
00:34:44.860law enforcement officers, which, oh, by the way, is a federal crime.
00:34:48.500And so, yeah, I think that this is again and again them putting politics above public safety.
00:34:55.860And there's certainly no question. I have to ask this question. When I started the show this afternoon and I had a tweet up this morning, we saw that video.
00:35:05.520Latin Kings member who was arrested. Our correspondents were there on the ground, field correspondent Kevin Posobiec, as that vehicle was being ransacked, as well as Nick Sorter there got the identification out.
00:35:18.200But something that that that struck me that was interesting was this was a Latin Kings member.
00:35:24.560And wasn't it just back in October that there was another Latin Kings member in Chicago, also in the Midwest, possibly the same branch of Latin Kings that put out a bounty on Commander Bovino, who has been out there so public at these raids?
00:35:39.060Does DHS have any information that Latin Kings are perhaps targeting Commander Bovino or other members of ICE at the behest of the cartels?
00:35:47.700I mean, this does sort of seem like it may be connected.
00:35:52.180Yeah, I don't think I can get too much into that at the time at this moment.
00:35:56.760I hope that we'll have more information for people as more details.
00:36:01.080And we as we follow these investigations and leads, we just want to make sure our law enforcement officers are safe.
00:36:06.720Commander Bovino is safe. But I think that you are connecting the right dots, Jack.
00:36:11.840that these are who Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are protecting and emboldening is these violent
00:36:19.520agitators. When you're saying, when you're calling for resistance against ICE, that's exactly who's
00:36:25.040going to come and create this chaos. But I also think, Jack, it's so important we point out who's
00:36:30.720in these jails, excuse me, who's in our detention facilities in Minneapolis. In the last five weeks,
00:36:36.040who have arrested 2,500 criminal legal aliens. That includes an individual who killed and
00:36:41.840murdered his three-month-old son. That includes multiple individuals who are perpetuators of
00:36:47.020human slavery and human trafficking. Scores of murders. We picked up multiple murders,
00:36:52.320in fact, just yesterday. And the list of individuals who have perpetuated crimes
00:36:58.360against children, particularly child rape and other sorts of sexual exploitation against0.94
00:37:05.400children is just sickening. I don't know how anyone, Republican, Democrat, independent,0.88
00:37:11.240any political persuasion can be defending this and not wanting these people off of our streets.
00:37:17.720No, it's absolutely horrific. Trisha McLaughlin, we're coming up on a quick break. I want to hold
00:37:22.060you over because, and I want to say thank you, by the way, for the time here, giving us this access,
00:37:26.920answering these questions, because these operations are so important. We understand
