An American citizen is shot by Border Patrol agents in another disputed circumstance, and All hell breaks loose in Minneapolis. We ll break all of it down, why this is being driven by Democrats, what Republicans should do about it, and how federal law enforcement should deal with all of this.
00:00:00.000An American citizen is shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis in another disputed circumstance, and all hell breaks loose in Minneapolis.

00:00:47.000All hell has now broken loose in Minneapolis after another shooting involving federal officers and a person who is attempting to interfere with them in their pursuit of their legal duty.
00:01:00.000According to NBC News, a federal immigration agent shot and killed the 37-year-old Minneapolis man on Saturday.
00:01:07.000This, of course, is the second shooting after the shooting of Renee Goode, who was the woman who attempted to obstruct federal law enforcement and then hit an agent with her car before being shot.
00:01:17.000The man, again, identified by family as Alex Predty, was an intensive care nurse.
00:01:22.000The circumstances around his final moments were caught on multiple angles on video.
00:01:27.000We're going to go through all of the details and try to determine culpability, legal, and moral.
00:01:32.000We're also going to go through why it is that the left continues to ramp up this chaos.
00:01:50.000They are desperate for the ugly images on the TV because they believe that that is going to undermine the Trump administration's immigration program and the Trump administration itself.
00:02:03.000There are more people being deported from red states than from blue states right now, but you're not seeing these ugly images happening in red states.
00:02:10.000The answer is because red states are helping to facilitate the deportation of people who should not be here.
00:02:16.000Red states are helping to ensure that criminal, illegal immigrants are not in the system.
00:02:21.000And when they arrest somebody for a crime and that person is an illegal immigrant, they then tell federal law enforcement, federal authorities, ICE and Border Patrol, so the person can be deported.
00:02:30.000Blue states, sanctuary cities, sanctuary states are not doing that.
00:02:34.000That is what necessitates more boots on the ground from the federal government in these areas.
00:02:39.000And then local and state politicians have been going out there and suggesting that this amounts to a Gestapo-like occupation.
00:02:46.000They've been driving their own supporters out into the streets.
00:02:49.000Some of those supporters are then obstructing federal law enforcement, committing federal crimes.
00:02:54.000When that happens, the likelihood of terrible incidents goes way up.
00:02:59.000And that appears to be something that left-wing politicians want, that they are desperate for.
00:03:05.000It appears to be something they think they can run on: that if they put ugly images on your TV of immigration agents in confrontations with Americans, and if some of those incidents end with death, then that means they will be able to undermine their political opposition.
00:03:22.000Because again, we should all, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, be in favor of criminal, illegal immigrants going home, not being in the United States.
00:03:34.000That right there is not a controversial issue.
00:03:36.000The necessity for larger federal presence, for harder implementation measures, is only being made necessary because there are Democratic politicians, members of the legacy media, who have decided to ramp all of this up and to facilitate the chaos.
00:03:57.000And we've been saying this for months, that if you have the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, coming out and saying that ICE agents are like the Gestapo or like the KKK, that if you have Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry saying the same, if you have all Democratic politicians suggesting that protesting ICE agents is not only a decent thing to do, but a positive and good thing to do, and then treating obstruction of federal law enforcement officers as a form of legitimate protest,
00:04:24.000which is the gray line they always seem to blur.
00:04:28.000If you do that, you will end up with more confrontations, more violence, and more possible deaths under disputed circumstances.

00:06:49.000So again, we're going to go through the tape in just a moment.
00:06:51.000What happened is that on Saturday morning, Alex Predi appeared to come to the aid of a person who'd been pushed to the ground by immigration agents.
00:06:59.000So there are a couple of people who are out there filming the immigration agents while they were attempting to effectuate some sort of arrest, apparently obstructing traffic.
00:07:13.000The woman seems to be pushed to the ground.
00:07:16.000Predi then appears to move toward her.
00:07:18.000An officer sprays Predi in the face before dragging him to the ground.
00:07:21.000And then there are multiple officers who are surrounding Predi.
00:07:25.000At some point, it appears that the agents believe that Predi has a gun or is going for a gun or both.
00:07:31.000And they open fire on him and he is shot 10 times and he dies.
00:07:36.000That is the cleanest way of describing the circumstance.
00:07:39.000And as we'll see, it then turned into our usual political Rorschach test in which the left proclaimed that it was a case of pure murder.
00:07:47.000And some members of the federal government, in my opinion, were not honest about what happened on the ground and told a story that does not seem to match up with the tape.
00:07:57.000Now, again, there will be full investigations of all.
00:08:01.000And anybody who's claiming there should not be, of course, there should be.
00:08:03.000There should always be full investigations, not because I believe the officers are guilty of murder or manslaughter.
00:08:10.000There should be a full investigation because I believe that it will exonerate the officers.
00:08:14.000And even if it didn't exonerate the officers, you need the full investigation in order to ensure that there's continued trust in law enforcement.
00:08:21.000Those full investigations should go forward.
00:08:26.000They should not be railroadings, as we've seen in the past with, say, Derek Chauvin and George Floyd.
00:08:30.000They should not be adjudicated in the media.
00:08:33.000That's why the best response from everybody, from the federal government to Walls to Fry, it should always be the same.
00:08:39.000There will be a full, thorough investigation.
00:08:42.000And at the end of the day, the law enforcement apparatus will take stock of what has happened and all the facts will be made available to you.
00:08:48.000That is what should the response should always be that on all sides because that is the only way that we end up with the impartial administration of the law.
00:09:39.000More deportations are taking place in Texas and Florida than are taking place in Minneapolis.
00:09:45.000But all the tape you're seeing is from Minneapolis.
00:09:47.000And there's a reason for that because when you spur people to confrontation, especially confrontation with federal law enforcement, bad things happen.
00:11:24.000Let's say, for example, the person has a gun and the person goes for the gun.
00:11:28.000Or let's say that the officer believes the person has a gun for some good reason, like the person has a gun.
00:11:33.000And then the person doesn't have the gun, which may in fact be the case, but the officer still believes he has the gun.
00:11:40.000And so an accident happens where the officer believes a thing that isn't true, but in the moment, it's absolutely credible that the thing could be true.
00:11:47.000You see this sort of circumstance where somebody goes for their waistband, and earlier they've been identified as having a gun, and in their waistband isn't the gun, it's something else, and they get shot.
00:11:56.000Officers have to make these decisions in the moment.
00:11:58.000That is the reality of the law enforcement job: you have to make that decision right there in the moment.
00:16:17.000If you do resist arrest while you have a gun on you, there's a much higher likelihood that the police are going to perceive you as a threat of physical violence.
00:16:25.000And that's not a question of a normal protester carrying a gun, as we'll get to in a bit.
00:16:29.000That is a question of don't resist arrest while obstructing a federal law enforcement operation while carrying a gun.
00:16:36.000Put all those things together, and that is going to make your risk significantly higher than it otherwise would be.
00:16:41.000Get to more on this in just one second first.
00:16:43.000You know, for me, sleep is really, really important because if my brain is not working properly, and that's what happens when I don't sleep, well, the show just isn't as good.
00:16:52.000Well, that's why I rely on Helix Sleep, and I have for years.
00:16:55.000Finding the right mattress doesn't have to be complicated.
00:16:57.000Our sponsor, Helix, actually makes it super straightforward with their sleep quiz, which matches you to the perfect mattress based on your specific preferences and sleep needs.
00:17:04.000They're not just another mattress company either.
00:17:06.000Helix is the most awarded mattress brand out there with glowing reviews from major publications like Forbes and Wired.
00:17:12.000Folks, it's not just a marketing hype.
00:17:13.000A study they conducted found that 82% of participants actually saw an increase in their deep sleep cycle while sleeping on a Helix mattress, which is pretty impressive when you think about how crucial quality sleep is for everything else in life.
00:17:25.000Helix sleep means that, again, I'm getting better sleep.
00:17:28.000I've got that firm but breathable mattress.
00:18:34.000There are a bunch of different chats for different zones of Minnesota.
00:18:37.000They coordinate on where to go, how to obstruct operations.
00:18:41.000They have what they call patrol zones in order to ensure that there are people there every time ICE shows up to effectuate some sort of arrest.
00:18:51.000Protesters are coordinating on their own dispatch calls, by the way.
00:18:59.000They go online and they tell people when they discover a vehicle.
00:19:02.000And then they have documentation going on.
00:19:05.000The documentation is not obviously for some sort of prosecution.
00:19:08.000The documentation is happening very often in real time in order to get protesters to the place where ICE is doing the thing, in order to get, in many cases, lawbreakers obstructing law enforcement.
00:19:20.000Again, Cam Higby doing some excellent reporting over there.
00:19:23.000Some of the people who've been participating in this include, for example, Minnesota State Representative Alex Falconer, who is coordinating Signal groups.
00:19:32.000Here is this state legislator involved in coordinating this.
00:19:36.000We've got a couple groups on the app signal that we would love for you to join.
00:19:43.000Whether or not you want to be a part of the resistance network, I fully understand you may not be comfortable with that, but you can help us in a lot of ways by sending an alert that if you see any suspicious vehicles, any traffic, if you know of anybody that is being targeted, that's being detained, we have resources immediately available that we can send to you, send to their family, get them legal help, help the families if they need food, if people are afraid to leave their homes to get food.
00:20:10.000We're working with the food shelves to try to figure out a way to deliver groceries.
00:20:14.000I know yesterday, apartment complexes needed their parking lots plowed and people were being taken as they were moving their cars.
00:20:38.000If you know that these protesters are getting involved in the obstruction of federal law enforcement efforts, if you know that's happening, then encouraging that is not a good thing to do.
00:20:47.000And we know that there's been violence, obviously, against a wide variety of ICE officers.
00:20:51.000We've talked about the shooting of ICE officers or the attempted ramming of ICE officers.
00:20:56.000We've talked about the fact that actually on Saturday afternoon, there's a picture released by DHS showing the bloody stump of a finger of one of the ICE officers.
00:21:08.000Apparently, protesters are now biting the fingers off of federal officers in some cases.
00:21:12.000Trisha McLaughlin said that this person is going to lose his finger.
00:21:16.000A chunk of his finger was then shown in a jar by DHS.
00:21:21.000Meanwhile, in the immediate aftermath of all of this happening in Minneapolis, according to the New York Post, anti-ICE protesters violently swarmed a Minneapolis hotel where they believed federal officers were staying, hurling items at people inside, smashing its windows, and graffitiing F-ICE across the building's facade on Sunday.
00:21:37.000The large mob descended on the home two suites by Hilton Hotel late on Sunday as tensions gripped the Twin Cities one day after the killing of Alex Predty.
00:21:44.000Apparently, they shoved and hurled the object at a Minneapolis police department officer and others just inside the hotel's lobby and attempted to push their way in, forcing those inside to use two large vending machines to physically block the rowdy demonstrators.
00:21:57.000The protesters also banged on trash cans, slammed snow shovels, blew whistles, stomped, yelled, shown strobe lights on the hotel's facade in an attempt to disturb the federal officers who they believed were sleeping inside.
00:22:09.000This sort of activity is being facilitated by politicians of the left.
00:23:23.000It seems like not so peaceful over there.
00:23:25.000It seems like every time you say the protesters are doing something wonderful in the aftermath of somebody being shot or in the aftermath of violent demonstrations, it gets worse.
00:23:35.000I don't think Tim Walz is interested in keeping things peaceful in Minnesota.
00:24:08.000Here he was over the weekend saying we should not call these people law enforcement.
00:24:13.000Do I have any confidence Donald Trump will do the right thing?
00:24:15.000No, I don't have a lot of confidence Donald Trump will do the right thing.
00:24:18.000I do have a lot of confidence that the majority of the American people will do the right thing.
00:24:23.000And I think there cannot be very many people across this country looking right now after all the reporting that's been done, after everything that's been said under the pretense that they are here about immigration reform and quit referring to these people as law enforcement.
00:24:38.000We have law enforcement who do an incredible job.
00:24:42.000And to listen to Greg Bavino denigrate the work of our people who are out there cleaning up their mess.
00:24:47.000No, I don't have a lot of confidence that he himself will do it.
00:24:50.000But here's what I do have confidence in.
00:24:52.000There's a whole lot of Republicans for whatever reason cannot find their spine, but they might find the ability to know that they're not going to win another election as long as they live unless they stand up for what's right and stand up for the rule of law and stand up for human decency.
00:25:33.000He is granting a permission structure for all of this.
00:25:37.000Then Walls went on to say that Minnesotans are actually just all they're doing is creating a log of evidence for prosecution of ICE agents.
00:25:43.000What's the problem with them creating a log of evidence?
00:25:45.000Is that really what you think they're doing?
00:25:46.000Creating a log of evidence that that's really all they're doing.
00:25:49.000They're not obstructing law enforcement.
00:25:50.000Minnesotans are witnessing, and we're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ICE agents and officials responsible for this.
00:26:21.000Like, those are things that are happening.
00:26:23.000This is why I say that very often these things become a Rorschach test.
00:26:26.000And the sides are seeing completely different stories.
00:26:29.000And none of them seem to be related to the actual tape that we saw in which life is messy and life is complicated.
00:26:35.000But it appears that Alex Predi was obstructing federal law enforcement in performance of an operation and then resisting arrest and had a gun on him.
00:26:43.000And then it appears from the tape that he was disarmed and someone mistakenly thought he was still armed and they heard a shot go off or something like that.
00:28:12.000I want Minnesotans to hear this from me.
00:28:15.000The desire to get out and protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is, that is a patriotic duty at this point in time.
00:28:26.000Last week, he suggested it was time to, quote unquote, cause good trouble.
00:28:30.000And that, well, then trouble is going to ensue.
00:28:32.000I mean, that is a thing that is likely going to happen.
00:28:35.000These are the moments for people to stand up.
00:28:38.000These are the moments that are not the easy ones, but these are the moments where character comes out.
00:28:44.000I am receiving notes from around the world.
00:28:51.000People identifying, and there's a lot of people saying, okay, I was sleeping on Minnesota.
00:28:56.000And I think what you've done and what our neighbors are going through to see this, and I oftentimes told this story, I served on the China Commission in Congress, ironically enough, as co-chair with Marco Rubio.
00:29:07.000We used to bring in one of these political prisoners.
00:29:10.000And we would ask them, when we speak up and call out your government, is it bad?
00:29:15.000And they said, well, in the short run, it's bad because they torture us.
00:29:20.000But if you don't speak up, they will torture us and forget about us.
00:29:24.000And the idea is right now is we have to be speaking up.
00:30:18.000And again, the lines are pretty blurry here and they're being deliberately blurred.
00:30:22.000Meanwhile, Jacob Fry, who is the awful mayor of Minneapolis, he put out a statement, quote, after today's shooting, Minneapolis is filing a declaration to push for an immediate ruling on our temporary restraining order.
00:30:32.000We need swift action to protect our city.
00:30:34.000I have formally requested National Guard assistance to support our 600 Minneapolis police officers.
00:30:55.000If it is the former that he's trying to stop ICE from doing its job by calling in the National Guard, then you have like an actual insurrection on your hands.
00:31:01.000You can't have state law enforcement opposed to federal law enforcement.
00:31:06.000That does not have a good history in this country or any other, so far as I'm aware.
00:31:12.000Meanwhile, Fry said he did a presser, an overaw presser in which he said, how many more Americans need to die?
00:31:17.000You know what would stop Americans from dying?
00:31:19.000Tell people to go home while ICE does its job.
00:31:23.000Tell people to not obstruct ICE officers.
00:31:26.000I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death.
00:31:40.000How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?
00:31:49.000How many more lives need to be lost before this administration realizes that a political and partisan narrative is not as important as American values?
00:32:04.000How many times must local and national leaders must plead with you, Donald Trump, to end this operation and recognize that this is not creating safety in our city?
00:32:17.000Well, what's not creating safety is, again, people obstructing federal law enforcement.
00:32:31.000It's a chaos operation, and it's being promoted by everybody up to and including Barack Obama, the former president of the United States, who thus far I've seen no comments on his Twitter feed with regard to the murder apparently of tens of thousands of people in Iran, but he definitely has some statements about our border patrol and ICE agents.
00:32:47.000Quote, the killing of Alex Predi is a heartbreaking tragedy.
00:32:50.000It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
00:32:56.000For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke, and endanger the residents of a major American city.
00:33:09.000These unprecedented tactics have now resulted in the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens.
00:33:40.000Obviously, the local officials have had their perspective on this as well, and they are mirroring the Democratic line.
00:33:47.000The Minneapolis police chief was out there.
00:33:49.000His name is Brian O'Hara, denouncing the ICE operations and what happened with Alex Predty.
00:33:54.000Well, I've seen the videos just as thousands of people around the country have, and the videos speak for themselves.
00:34:00.000I think it's deeply concerning the things that are being said.
00:34:05.000This is an individual that was a city resident.
00:34:09.000It appears that he was present exercising his First Amendment rights to record law enforcement activity and also exercising his Second Amendment rights to lawfully be armed in a public space in the city.
00:34:23.000So I think very obviously there are serious questions that are being raised.
00:34:28.000And I think the greater issue is even if there is an investigation that ultimately proves that at the time of the shooting, it was legally justified, I don't think that even matters at this point because there's just, there is so much outrage and concern around what is happening in the city.
00:34:55.000I mean, like as a country where law is supposed to prevail, the impartial administration of justice is supposed to prevail, shouldn't the guilt or innocence of the officers at issue be the key issue?
00:35:06.000But this is always the case with people who are promoting the left-wing narrative.
00:35:10.000The narrative matters more than the fact.
00:35:12.000It doesn't matter what actually happened.
00:35:13.000It only matters what you think happened and what people feel about what happened.
00:35:17.000Really, truly ugly stuff, particularly from a member of law enforcement, Senator Amy Klavichar of Minnesota.
00:35:23.000She's also trying to stump on the space as she, of course, wants to run for governor of Minnesota in the wake of Tim Walz announcing he will not run for a third term.
00:35:29.000So here she was saying, silence is complicity.
00:35:32.000I am strongly opposed to more funding for ICE.
00:35:35.000I was strongly opposed when they tripled their budget this summer.
00:35:39.000$75 billion more of that money could go to local law enforcement.
00:35:44.000And instead, they loosened all the training requirements down from months to 47 days.
00:35:50.000They are violating the Fourth Amendment that they are ramming in people's doors without a judicial warrant.
00:35:58.000They are refusing to have mandatory body cameras.
00:36:02.000They have clearly a leadership that should be removed.
00:36:07.000You can just go down the list of all the problems with this right now.
00:36:11.000And I really do appreciate that Senator Cassidy was brave enough to stand up and say something about it when no one else will.
00:36:19.000And in this point, silence is complicity.
00:36:24.000What kind of silence are we talking about?
00:36:26.000What if we agree this is a tragic situation and that there should be a full investigation, but also believe that Democrats are operating under the guise of a chaos-driven mentality.
00:36:38.000Gavin Newsom, who wants to run for president, is now suggesting that this is a police state.
00:36:43.000He put this up in his press office, a press office he has denounced before when I interviewed him or is on his shows.
00:37:22.000This is about a basically Stasi-type force of secret police that wear masks that are unidentifiable, that are unaccountable, that have leadership in the Trump administration, blatantly lying about what's going on when the American people can see the videos about exactly what's happening.
00:37:42.000There is no police officer in the state of New Jersey that would A, act like that because we have training that far surpasses any type of misconduct like that, or B, should anything untoward happen, the other agents with that police officer would stop that immediately, and that person would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, which is exactly what needs to happen with these ICE agents in Minneapolis.
00:38:12.000So Democrats on the back of this are threatening another government shutdown.
00:38:16.000According to the New York Times, bipartisan legislation to fund a broad swath of the government and avert a shutdown at the end of the week appeared to be in grave danger on Saturday as key Senate Democrats vowed to oppose it after federal agents shot and killed a Minneapolis resident.
00:38:29.000The rapidly escalating opposition to the measure, which includes $64.4 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, including $10 billion for ICE, amplified the likelihood of a partial government shutdown at the end of the month.
00:38:40.000The legislation requires the support of Democrats to muster the 60 votes needed to avoid the filibuster and advance in the Senate.
00:38:46.000So Schumer wants the DHS funding bill to be cut out of the broader appropriations bill in an attempt to then have a debate over ICE and yell at the Trump administration over ICE operations.
00:38:57.000So they're apparently willing to hold up the funding of the government again in order to go after DHS.
00:39:15.000I'm one of the people that helped negotiate the solution to the last, the end of the last shutdown, but I can't vote for a bill that includes ICE funding under these circumstances, what they're doing in my state, what we saw yesterday in Minneapolis.
00:39:59.000Okay, we don't have to have a shutdown, but he wants a shutdown.
00:40:02.000So glad to see the Democrats are, again, pushing forward with this narrative.
00:40:07.000One of the things that we are seeing from the left is an attempt to import the sort of left-wing, bizarre ideological kinship with terror groups abroad to what's happening in places like Minneapolis.
00:40:18.000Apparently, resistance to law enforcement, to legitimate law enforcement, is now to be considered virtue.
00:40:23.000And if you can create enough quote-unquote atrocity stories, then you can undermine the enforcement of the law.
00:40:28.000That seems to be the model of people like the disreputable Hassan Piker, who literally put out a tweet claiming, quote, the siege on Minneapolis is where you really see the West Bank occupation tactics on U.S. soil, constant militarized ICE presence on the streets, illegal detentions, killing people, trying to defend their neighbors, labeling them terrorists.
00:42:02.000Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 million in her account?
00:42:05.000And where are the tens of billions of dollars that have been stolen from the once great state of Minnesota?
00:42:09.000We are there because of massive monetary fraud with billions of dollars missing and illegal criminals that were allowed to infiltrate the state through the Democrats' open border policy.
00:42:16.000We want the money back and we want it back now.
00:42:18.000Those fraudsters who stole the money are going to jail where they belong.
00:42:21.000This is no different from a really big bank robbery.
00:42:23.000Much of what you're witnessing is a cover-up for this theft and fraud.
00:42:26.000The mayor and governor are inciting insurrection with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric.
00:42:30.000Instead, these sanctimonious political fools should be looking for the billions of dollars that have been stolen from the people of Minnesota and the United States of America.
00:42:39.00012,000 illegal alien criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota.
00:42:44.000If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today.
00:42:48.000Because that is President Trump's response to all this.
00:42:50.000And then President Trump suggested that he would be sending Tom Homan as well, the head of his border czar.
00:42:57.000He said, quote, I'm sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight.
00:42:59.000He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there.
00:43:02.000Tom is tough but fair and will report directly to me.
00:43:05.000Separately, a major investigation is going on with respect to the massive $20 billion plus welfare fraud that has taken place in Minnesota.
00:43:12.000Okay, that is a good move, sending Tom Homan.
00:43:16.000And this brings us to other members of the Trump administration who make statements about disputed incidents like the death of Alex Predty that are not tied to the videos that we can all see or what appear to be the facts on the ground.
00:43:29.000We saw this with Renee Goode when Christy Noam, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, suggested that she was attempting to mow down officers with her car.
00:43:38.000At the very least, that particular narrative did not seem to be supported by the video.
00:43:44.000In this particular case, Christy Noam, as this was all unfolding, came out and made a statement in which she suggested that Alex Predty was a domestic terrorist who wanted to inflict maximum damage.
00:43:54.000This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at this scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.
00:44:03.000About hundreds of protesters then showed up at the scene.
00:44:07.000They began to obstruct and to assault law enforcement officers.
00:44:11.000We saw objects being thrown at them, including ICE and other objects.
00:44:16.000And a rampant assault began, and even an HSI officer agent's finger was bitten off.
00:44:23.000Crowd control measures were deployed to bring safety to the public and to law enforcement at the scene.
00:44:29.000And once again, I want to remind everybody that this situation and this tragedy did not have to happen.
00:44:34.000Our law enforcement are doing everything that they can to protect the public.
00:44:39.000We're praying for this deceased loved one's family and friends, but we also recognize that the Minnesota governor and the Minneapolis mayor need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
00:44:51.000This is not connected to the video that you saw.
00:44:55.000The idea that Christy Noam said this guy's a domestic terrorist who wanted to inflict maximum damage, that at the very least he wanted to kill law enforcement.
00:45:02.000Let's just say that that is a matter under dispute.
00:45:06.000He's standing there with the cell phone.
00:45:08.000He is filming people when this whole thing begins.
00:45:10.000If he wanted to kill law enforcement, presumably his gun would have been drawn at the very beginning.
00:45:14.000You're allowed to protest while holding a gun.
00:45:30.000But she was grilled on this characterization of events by Peter Deucey because from the tape, it appears that Predty had already been disarmed.
00:45:40.000You said last night, it looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.
00:45:49.000Did he say, I'm going to kill you, or did he leave a note?
00:46:06.000When he did that, interacting with those agents, when they tried to get him to disengage, he became aggressive and resisted them throughout that process.
00:46:16.000These officers used their training, followed their protocols, and were in fear of their lives and the people around them.
00:46:24.000And that's how this tragedy unfolded, and we hope we never see it again.
00:46:29.000It appears that Alex Predty was disarmed.
00:46:33.000If he was disarmed, is it the protocol to use deadly force?
00:46:37.000And that's all part of this investigation.
00:47:07.000Because if you're going to appear, if you want this operation to be successful, if you want ICE to have the trust of the American people, then when things happen, you have to say a full investigation will take place.
00:47:18.000These matters obviously are incredibly fraught.
00:47:20.000Resisting arrest, obstructing federal investigations and federal law enforcement is a crime.
00:47:35.000A full investigation is taking like that should be the original comment, not he's a domestic terrorist and he was obviously attempting to murder as many people as possible.
00:47:42.000When you say that sort of stuff, it means that people, number one, aren't going to trust your investigation.
00:47:46.000And number two, they are not going to trust you anymore because you have said something that does not appear to be supported by the tape.
00:47:53.000Greg Bovino is one of the leaders of Border Patrol.
00:47:58.000Again, it was a Border Patrol agent who apparently was involved in the shooting.
00:48:03.000And here he was explaining the incident.
00:48:06.000During this operation, an individual approached U.S. Border Patrol agents with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun.
00:48:16.000The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted.
00:48:22.000Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots.
00:48:31.000Medics on the scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject, but the subject was pronounced dead at the scene.
00:48:40.000The suspect also had two loaded magazines and no accessible ID.
00:48:46.000This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
00:48:55.000Okay, so again, that last sentence is totally unnecessary.
00:48:59.000Was this a situation where he wanted to inflict maximum damage and massacre law enforcement?
00:49:04.000If you look at that tape, it's very difficult for your eyes to tell you that.
00:49:08.000And so obviously this creates a gap between reality and the narrative that you are now being told.
00:49:34.000I've done that myself and fully support that, but not when you perpetrate violence, obstruct delay, or obfuscate Border Patrol in the performance of their duties in anti- There's no evidence that he was perpetrating violence.
00:49:50.000And there's no evidence, unless you have it, and we'd love to see it if there is, that he was intending to massacre law enforcement other than the fact that he was there and he had a gun lawfully.
00:50:52.000What he's saying in that tape with Dana Bash is much more justifiable than what he said.
00:50:56.000He doesn't have a defense to the idea that Predty was there to commit a massacre because that doesn't appear, again, from the video to be the case.
00:51:04.000Now, maybe they can show extraneous evidence that is the case, but that's why you do an investigation.
00:51:35.000And now there's another line that was retailed by a couple of members of the administration that I think is the wrong line, suggesting that there is something wrong with protesting even with a gun.
00:51:43.000Now, again, be specific in your language.
00:51:45.000Don't resist law enforcement while carrying it.
00:53:02.000I have a lot of friends who've gone to various protests while legally carrying firearms because that is legal in the United States.
00:53:08.000I mean, as you know, he was an ICU nurse, worked for the Veterans Administration, and there's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever.
00:53:15.000The fact that he brought a disarm before.
00:53:54.000So there are some, James Comer, Republican, staunch Trump supporter, who suggests that maybe ICE should just pull out of Minneapolis, let them have at it.
00:54:03.000If I were President Trump, I would almost think about, okay, if the mayor and the governor are going to put our ICE officials in harm's way and there's a chance of losing more innocent lives or whatever, then maybe go to another city and let the people of Minneapolis decide, do we want to continue to have all of these illegals?
00:54:24.000Are we going to allow our governor, attorney general, and mayor to get away with this?
00:54:29.000And I think the people of Minnesota would rebel against their leadership because it's very clear that a majority of Americans want the criminal illegals apprehended.
00:54:40.000Okay, so again, he's not the only one who's calling for a sort of pause or moving away from Minneapolis.
00:54:46.000The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board suggests that President Trump would be wise to pause ICE enforcement in the Twin Cities to ease tensions and consider a less provocative strategy.
00:54:54.000They admit that the left would then conclude their civil disobedience has paid off.
00:54:58.000It's catch 22 for the Trump administration.
00:55:00.000Because if the Trump administration continues to pursue operations the way that they are currently going, there will be likely more of these incidents because if people resist arrest and obstruct law enforcement, they are likely to meet with violent ends in some cases.
00:55:12.000At the same time, if you abandon the city, then the apparent notice has gone out that if you're a blue city or a blue state, you can simply repel federal law authority by sending a bunch of protesters in the streets to obstruct federal law enforcement and maybe get shot on camera.
00:55:26.000And you can't run a popsicle stand that way.
00:55:29.000You can't enforce federal law that way.
00:55:31.000In my opinion, the president of the United States should invite Governor Walls to the White House and Jacob Fry, and he should sit them down and he should say, listen, we are focused solely on enforcing the law with regard to criminal, illegal immigrants.
00:55:45.000If you continue to obstruct that, we will continue to enforce the law, but federal money will go away for any projects to which we can legally remove that funding.
00:55:57.000You make suggestions on how we can better facilitate the removal of criminal illegal immigrants.
00:56:02.000We're not going to stop enforcing the law because you activate protesters.
00:56:22.000When they have an arrest and that person is a criminal, they should inform ICE about who is an illegal immigrant and ICE can come pick them up.
00:56:36.000The precondition is federal law will be enforced.
00:56:39.000And if you do not, if you get in the way of federal law enforcement, then whatever legal options we have are on the table to enforce federal law.
00:56:51.000Because again, this is a systemic problem.
00:56:57.000If the goal here is, if the idea from now on is that anytime there's a federal law enforcement agency that attempts to pursue the law, that local protesters can create chaos and then drive federal law enforcement out of their state, then you have effectively state nullification of federal law.
00:57:15.000That really is the predicate to civil war.
00:57:26.000If Governor Walls and Jacob Fry don't like the way that the law is being enforced in Minneapolis, show us how the law should be enforced in Minneapolis, short of it shouldn't be enforced at all, because it shouldn't be enforced at all is not a legally tenable position or a morally tenable position.
