00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a turning point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a turning point USA high school chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:38.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts, and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000 All right.
00:01:09.000 Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:11.000 It's January 26, 2026.
00:01:15.000 Lots going on in Minneapolis.
00:01:17.000 That's where we are going to start this morning.
00:01:19.000 I'm Andrew Colvett, executive producer of this show.
00:01:22.000 Blake Neff here in studio in sunny Phoenix.
00:01:27.000 I was under the impression that Minneapolis was going to be much more reserved over the weekend because of the chill, but it turns out there was no chill.
00:01:38.000 That was not the case.
00:01:39.000 There was zero chill in Minneapolis.
00:01:41.000 And of course, we are.
00:01:43.000 Talking about another protester that was shot by DHS officers.
00:01:49.000 Lots of details in this.
00:01:50.000 We have people slowing down the footage, playing it back, looking at.
00:01:54.000 Now, listen, this gentleman, Pretty, was armed.
00:01:59.000 He was resisting arrest.
00:02:01.000 I'm not here to defend all of the actions, but I will tell you this.
00:02:05.000 I am sick and tired of liberal protesters acting like kamikaze agents.
00:02:13.000 You know, going right into the middle of an ICE operation, which is law enforcement, federal law enforcement, and not respecting authority.
00:02:22.000 This is why I think you're missing the point.
00:02:25.000 If you're arguing about whether or not he was pulling for his gun, if he wasn't, you were missing the point.
00:02:30.000 The point is when you get pulled over and you have a weapon in your car, what you're supposed to do, the first thing you're supposed to do is you're supposed to put your hands, turn the car off, put your hands on the dash, roll down your window, and then you say, Officer, I have a weapon in the car.
00:02:46.000 That's the first thing you do.
00:02:48.000 It is a responsibility if you go into a crowd, if you are out in public and you are carrying a firearm, to let law enforcement know.
00:02:55.000 The complete and utter lack of respect for law enforcement is what continually is causing these malays to happen in the open street.
00:03:03.000 But there's so much to get to.
00:03:04.000 Yeah, so much.
00:03:05.000 We could take this from about 18 different angles.
00:03:08.000 It's important because there's a lot of reaction to this.
00:03:10.000 And we said this after the first incident, but it's worth repeating because it's even more important after the second one.
00:03:15.000 A few people have said, oh, well, you actually don't have a right to bring a gun to a protest.
00:03:19.000 You.
00:03:20.000 You do have a right to bring a gun to protest in America.
00:03:22.000 But let's also be clear this was not just a march.
00:03:28.000 It was not just people standing.
00:03:29.000 This was people getting in scuffles with these ICE officers.
00:03:33.000 They're doing this friction, this low level violence with them constantly.
00:03:36.000 And that's what happened with this guy, where he's getting tackled by all these ICE officers.
00:03:40.000 And we don't, as you said, we don't need to get into exactly how this occurred.
00:03:44.000 It seems like it was an unintended tragedy.
00:03:47.000 But the reason this is happening is because the strategy of the people who are opposed to ICE is to.
00:03:54.000 Maximize the friction that is going on.
00:03:57.000 Every time ICE goes anywhere, they're getting harassed by people.
00:04:00.000 They're getting screamed at by people.
00:04:02.000 They have to worry oh, is someone here about to pull a gun and shoot us?
00:04:05.000 Because people online are openly calling to do that.
00:04:08.000 It's happened in Dallas.
00:04:09.000 People have opened fire on ICE people.
00:04:11.000 They've been rammed.
00:04:12.000 They're all blowing on these whistles constantly, which is clearly not needed to actually warn anyone, which is what their claim is.
00:04:20.000 It's actually just to constantly annoy and freak people out.
00:04:23.000 I mean, you can watch the video.
00:04:25.000 There's just these whistles going off endlessly.
00:04:27.000 And they're creating a situation where everyone is maximally stressed out.
00:04:32.000 They're maximally concerned something could go wrong.
00:04:35.000 And something like this, whether it should happen or not, something like this happening is inevitable.
00:04:42.000 Completely.
00:04:42.000 And that's the point, though.
00:04:44.000 And that is the point.
00:04:44.000 Yeah, this is a low level insurgency.
00:04:47.000 They're trying to avoid overtly kinetic engagements with these law enforcement officers, but this is organized, it's financed, and they are pushing everybody to the brink on purpose.
00:04:58.000 And that's the key here, guys.
00:05:00.000 This is all intentional.
00:05:02.000 They are pushing for casualties.
00:05:05.000 They maybe don't want to be it themselves.
00:05:07.000 They maybe don't want, you know, they want to go home to their loved ones or friends or whatever.
00:05:11.000 I'm not saying that, but they fully understand that when you pressure and stress law enforcement and you do it repeatedly over the course of days and now weeks, something is going to happen.
00:05:23.000 And now we've had two instances in Minneapolis, first with Renee Good and now with Pretty, where two Americans are dead.
00:05:30.000 And guess what?
00:05:32.000 We don't blink.
00:05:33.000 This is not the time to get weak in the knees and blink because that is exactly what they want.
00:05:38.000 That's exactly what they want us to do.
00:05:40.000 They want us to back down.
00:05:41.000 And the message has to be clear you don't throw a tantrum and get your way in America.
00:05:45.000 We have laws, we have order, and we will enforce them.
00:05:48.000 It doesn't matter if you're financed, it doesn't matter if you have a thousand people on a signal chat and you're harassing ICE agents and looking around.
00:05:55.000 You have to remember we as a conservative movement, we as Americans must build up immunities to these tactics.
00:06:01.000 Why are they doing this?
00:06:03.000 Because it has worked.
00:06:05.000 Because Republicans buckle at the knees because they blink.
00:06:08.000 We must not blink this time.
00:06:11.000 There's 10 to 20 million illegals that Joe Biden led into this country.
00:06:15.000 We're cleaning up their mess.
00:06:16.000 Now, I'm all for the president working with Tim Waltz.
00:06:19.000 He just put out a True Social saying that they've talked on the phone and they seem to be on the same wavelength.
00:06:24.000 Good.
00:06:25.000 We don't want an insurgent force in the state of Minneapolis.
00:06:28.000 We do not want a radicalized population in George Floyd's zone.
00:06:33.000 We want the governors to do the right things.
00:06:35.000 We want the mayors to do the right things.
00:06:37.000 And what is the right thing?
00:06:38.000 You are part of.
00:06:39.000 Of a republic, you are one state in 50.
00:06:42.000 You must obey, you must collaborate with the federal law enforcement.
00:06:47.000 That's the compact.
00:06:48.000 And that remains the biggest challenge of all of this because we don't want Minneapolis boiling over into some bloodbath.
00:06:56.000 But you also can't just leave, you can't just say, We're going to turn down the temperature by pulling ice out of Minneapolis because once you've done that, you've established that actually rioters and insurgents have the ability to nullify federal law with the connivance of their local and state government.
00:07:13.000 You just can't allow that.
00:07:15.000 Once you do that, that's not even just embarrassing for the administration.
00:07:18.000 That's catastrophic for the country.
00:07:20.000 That's every other country in the world can go, wait, the United States doesn't even control its own interior.
00:07:26.000 That is the empire is falling apart.
00:07:29.000 Yes.
00:07:31.000 If President Trump wants to call the Insurrection Act yesterday, I'm good with it.
00:07:35.000 You have to squash this.
00:07:37.000 This is a formalized, organized insurgent force.
00:07:41.000 Now, they've got to have.
00:07:42.000 That doesn't mean IEDs.
00:07:44.000 No.
00:07:44.000 It does mean a systematic attempt to.
00:07:47.000 Bring the peace.
00:07:48.000 This is to prevent a systematic attempt being launched by people who are not the government to dissolve the power of the federal government in Minneapolis.
00:07:57.000 Well, this is an insurgent force and you need counterinsurgency tactics.
00:08:01.000 And I'm not saying, yeah, we're not saying blowing people up.
00:08:03.000 We want everybody safe.
00:08:05.000 That's the point.
00:08:06.000 You do an insurrection act because you want everybody safe.
00:08:09.000 Obviously, there are extremely unsafe situations happening in the streets of Minneapolis.
00:08:14.000 You got these protesters going to these hotels, vandalizing them, breaking it.
00:08:18.000 These videos.
00:08:20.000 That are going around, of you got one DHS agent standing at a door, armed, telling everybody to get back and stay back in the middle of the freezing cold in Minneapolis.
00:08:31.000 That should not be a scene that you see in the streets of America.
00:08:35.000 The police in Minneapolis being told to stand down, that should be criminal.
00:08:39.000 Hedge needs to roll.
00:08:41.000 Indictments need to come.
00:08:42.000 There needs to be consequences for defying federal law enforcement.
00:08:46.000 There needs to be consequences for inciting and whooping up crowds and having.
00:08:51.000 Bat signal out in the whole country is telling every Antifa member all over the country that Minneapolis is your Fallujah.
00:08:57.000 That's not going to happen.
00:08:59.000 That's not going to stand.
00:09:00.000 And you do not get to where you want to go here if you bend the knee, if you blink, if you give in, if you tell them that their little tantrums are going to be successful.
00:09:11.000 I'm looking at you, Governor Stitt.
00:09:14.000 Lindsey Graham.
00:09:15.000 We're not going to put up with that.
00:09:17.000 Not here in the United States of America.
00:09:19.000 We have law and order.
00:09:20.000 We have rules.
00:09:21.000 We are going to follow them.
00:09:22.000 I'm just going to play this clip, though, because I'm so offended by it.
00:09:26.000 221, this is Governor Stitt.
00:09:28.000 President Trump closed the border, promised to get violent criminals out of our country.
00:09:32.000 And I think everybody agrees with that.
00:09:34.000 But now Americans are asking themselves what is the end game?
00:09:39.000 What is the solution?
00:09:40.000 What's the goal right now?
00:09:41.000 Is it to deport?
00:09:43.000 Every single non US citizen, I don't think that's what Americans want.
00:09:48.000 No, the goal is to deport every illegal immigrant.
00:09:52.000 Anyone who is here uninvited against our laws, yeah, they got to go, Governor Stitt.
00:09:57.000 I don't like it when Republicans, by the way, run to CNN to go, what, what, like get re invited to the cocktail party?
00:10:05.000 Are you looking at the end of your term and you want to be an eat me last Republican?
00:10:09.000 No, thank you.
00:10:11.000 No, you got to hold the line here.
00:10:13.000 That's the bottom line.
00:10:15.000 We're holding the line.
00:10:16.000 They want us to bend.
00:10:18.000 They want us to blink.
00:10:19.000 Do not blink.
00:10:22.000 If you're tired of watching this country drift away from the values that made it great, it's time to get involved.
00:10:27.000 That's why I stand with AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens.
00:10:31.000 Charlie loved this country and he loved partnering with organizations that truly stand for what makes America great.
00:10:37.000 One of our most trusted partners, AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, is doing something special in Charlie's honor.
00:10:43.000 AMAC is offering free memberships to all ages no credit card, no strings attached.
00:10:48.000 Just a chance to stand for faith, family, and freedom.
00:10:51.000 Join this movement.
00:10:52.000 Go to amac.us/slash Charlie today.
00:10:55.000 That is amac.us/forward/slash Charlie today.
00:11:03.000 Lots to get to, and we're going to have Cam Higby join us in the next segment.
00:11:07.000 He is making waves, man, in Minneapolis.
00:11:11.000 We've had him on once before with Nick's order, but he infiltrated a signal chat that's sort of like their command and control center.
00:11:19.000 There's information nodes, and We even find out that you've got state representatives in these chats.
00:11:24.000 You've got the lieutenant governor in this chat.
00:11:27.000 We should tee this up, I think, because what we are getting is big picture you're having an organized operation by the Democrats with their activist arm, with their state and local arms, and yes, with their national arm to abolish federal law and also kind of go back to abolishing the border because the new demand, like what they're really pushing for after the shooting this past week, is.
00:11:52.000 That they need to have a total defunding of ICE and the Border Patrol.
00:11:57.000 Well, okay, if you just defund them, we don't have a border anymore.
00:12:01.000 Yeah.
00:12:01.000 It's just gone.
00:12:02.000 It's all back to the Biden era.
00:12:04.000 And that's what they're demanding.
00:12:05.000 So we should play this.
00:12:06.000 We had, play what?
00:12:08.000 Well, we have clips of them demanding that.
00:12:10.000 So for example, we have Adam Schiff, Democrat senator, clip 209.
00:12:16.000 If Democrats vote against this DHS funding measure, my question for you, Senator, are you prepared to vote against DHS funding?
00:12:27.000 If it means partially shutting down the government, again, coming on the heels of an incredibly long shutdown.
00:12:34.000 Well, I'm not giving ICE or Border Patrol another dime.
00:12:38.000 How about Seth Moulton?
00:12:40.000 This guy's a real peach.
00:12:41.000 I mean, these guys are, their whole tactic is to go throw a tantrum.
00:12:45.000 They want you to bend the knee.
00:12:47.000 Not going to happen.
00:12:48.000 We do not blink.
00:12:49.000 I'll say it again and again and again.
00:12:51.000 I do not respond to terroristic threats, I do not respond to petty tantrums.
00:12:58.000 You should not do that either.
00:13:00.000 We should not do that as a movement.
00:13:02.000 202.
00:13:02.000 People are scared.
00:13:04.000 People are really scared, and they're scared for good reason.
00:13:07.000 And I would love to be on your show telling everybody it's going to be okay.
00:13:11.000 Don't worry.
00:13:12.000 This terror will not be coming home to you.
00:13:15.000 But I can't say that because it is the explicit intent of this administration from Trump on down to terrorize blue cities across America.
00:13:24.000 So, I mean, and he just keeps going.
00:13:26.000 Yeah.
00:13:26.000 I mean, Tim Walz had a line.
00:13:29.000 He made the comparison to Anne Frank hiding in the attic against Nazis.
00:13:33.000 It's direct incitement.
00:13:35.000 It is.
00:13:36.000 They're really whipping people up.
00:13:38.000 And.
00:13:38.000 I actually, I would have personally, I would avoid using the word tantrum because it's so much more sinister.
00:13:43.000 This is not babies complaining to get what they want.
00:13:46.000 This is a real revolutionary agenda that they want to abolish.
00:13:52.000 They basically want to abolish the United States because if the United States doesn't have a border, it's not a country.
00:13:57.000 Anyone can come here, it's like a free zone.
00:14:00.000 And they want to achieve that.
00:14:03.000 They did achieve it under Biden.
00:14:04.000 It was absolutely ruinous for the country.
00:14:07.000 And the mere act of trying to undo All of the damage that Biden did.
00:14:11.000 They have gotten into an absolutely spectacular meltdown.
00:14:14.000 They're trying to destroy, they're trying to kill police.
00:14:17.000 They're trying to get cities destroyed.
00:14:19.000 They're willing to do basically anything.
00:14:20.000 They have doctors in Florida threatening to kill people who come in for surgery.
00:14:25.000 And they're doing all of this because they want to abolish the country.
00:14:30.000 This is a very revolutionary agenda.
00:14:32.000 Completely agree.
00:14:33.000 Here's Senator Van Hollen.
00:14:34.000 Remember, he was the one sipping margaritas with Maryland dad?
00:14:38.000 208.
00:14:39.000 The reality is that the real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now.
00:14:44.000 They're people like Stephen Miller.
00:14:45.000 They're people like Donald Trump.
00:14:47.000 They're the ones who are terrorizing these communities, having nothing to do with public safety.
00:14:54.000 People across the political spectrum are looking at what they're seeing on the videotape and listening to the lies coming out of the White House, and that they're agreeing with those of us who say we cannot continue to provide one dime to this lawless Trump operation.
00:15:09.000 You've got liberals all over TikTok saying it's time to die for the cause.
00:15:15.000 Does that sound like.
00:15:18.000 Business as usual.
00:15:19.000 They're whipping people up.
00:15:20.000 Does this sound like, you know, this is just run of the mill, peaceful protest, good trouble?
00:15:26.000 No, this is why you have armed men going into the crowds and confronting and resisting arrest when DHS tries to subdue them.
00:15:34.000 I'm not saying everything was perfect in that interaction.
00:15:37.000 What I'm saying is, this is why you're having these interactions.
00:15:40.000 This is why ICE is whipped up and scared and on guard and tense in the first place.
00:15:46.000 We should play some of these videos.
00:15:47.000 If you have a comment, Blake, please.
00:15:49.000 Well, they're just constantly engineering things to make everything worse, to make things more violent.
00:15:54.000 They're encouraging the de arrest tactics.
00:15:57.000 That's a big one, where, oh, anytime ICE is trying to detain someone, try to get in the way and fight with them.
00:16:03.000 That is how you get stuff like what happened on Saturday or Friday, whatever day it was.
00:16:07.000 I mean, I literally have a clip sheet here.
00:16:09.000 I have seven clips here of Libs on TikTok going, it's time to dive for the cause, folks.
00:16:15.000 211.
00:16:16.000 If we don't have an ICE uniform on.
00:16:22.000 We're not safe.
00:16:23.000 Make sure you have your affairs in order.
00:16:28.000 I'm going to work on getting mine in order because rights don't exist in this country anymore for us citizens.
00:16:36.000 What the heck are you even talking about?
00:16:38.000 All Pretty had to do was say, officer, Mr. Agent, Mr. whatever, I have a weapon on me.
00:16:48.000 It's legal.
00:16:50.000 Here you go.
00:16:51.000 Hands up.
00:16:52.000 Hands where you can see them.
00:16:53.000 Yeah, I'm here to protest.
00:16:54.000 I don't want deportations, but I'm armed.
00:16:58.000 Just want you to know that.
00:16:58.000 And then it would have deescalated the good old fashioned way.
00:17:02.000 212.
00:17:02.000 Got another one up.
00:17:04.000 212.
00:17:04.000 I think I'm willing to die for this, but we lack a clear plan beyond basically complaining in all its forms.
00:17:11.000 The good people in this country aren't asking for another peaceful protest that fizzles out by Monday.
00:17:17.000 We're not asking for catchy slogans or edgy t shirts.
00:17:21.000 We're asking for direction.
00:17:23.000 The largest force in this country is standing by, waiting for someone with a platform to say, here's how we organize, here's how we apply pressure, here's how we move, deliberately, relentlessly, and without illusion.
00:17:36.000 Tell us where to be, what to do, and what to bring.
00:17:41.000 Go to 214.
00:17:42.000 We could play these all day.
00:17:43.000 214.
00:17:43.000 Hey, so they're going to kill us anyway.
00:17:45.000 So I think maybe we should just mob them.
00:17:50.000 I mean, I don't.
00:17:52.000 We have to do something.
00:17:53.000 Like, we have to, as bystanders, mob them.
00:17:59.000 Like, full American Revolution, like, hiding in trees.
00:18:04.000 That username on that account is Gen Existential Crisis, which.
00:18:10.000 It could just be a joke, but I think it gets at something.
00:18:12.000 It's for a lot of these people, she seems mentally unwell.
00:18:16.000 She's whipping herself up to cry while making a video for the camera.
00:18:19.000 A lot of these people are taking their personal mental unwellness and projecting it into this revolution.
00:18:27.000 And for some of them, they're dead serious, but some of them, a lot of the people driving this, it's an extremely exotic political LARP.
00:18:34.000 They want to be in a Marvel movie or a Star Wars movie or their favorite, like a Les Miserables musical.
00:18:41.000 And this is deadly serious.
00:18:44.000 There's theater kids that are trying to go toe to toe with law enforcement.
00:18:47.000 And that's why this is always going to end poorly because they don't know how to respect law enforcement.
00:18:52.000 They fundamentally disrespect law enforcement and they want a revolution.
00:18:57.000 This must be quelled and it must be quelled quickly.

00:20:15.000 Cam Higbee joins us now.
00:20:17.000 Everybody, we're going to put up during this conversation how to support what he's doing.
00:20:22.000 He's got a PayPal and a Venmo.
00:20:25.000 He's doing guerrilla journalism right there on the streets in Minneapolis, putting himself, hopefully, not too much in harm's way, but very much so.
00:20:32.000 Everything's crazy up there.
00:20:33.000 Cam, welcome back to the show.
00:20:34.000 Hey, thanks for having me.
00:20:36.000 So you got your hands on, you infiltrated.
00:20:39.000 Tell us the backstory.
00:20:40.000 How did you get a hold of this information, the signal chat, and what did you find inside of it?
00:20:46.000 Yeah, well, I made a friend.
00:20:48.000 I can't say who it is or.
00:20:50.000 I can't elaborate a lot there, but I managed to get in.
00:20:53.000 I got a link to many of the signal chats, specifically the rapid response groups that were being used to actively track down and hunt ICE and then stage intentional obstruction of their operations, oftentimes resulting in violence and sometimes death, in the case of Mr. Pretty.
00:21:16.000 And I also believe that Renee Nicole Good was a member of the signal chats.
00:21:21.000 Now, I don't have confirmation from anybody in the chats like we do with.
00:21:24.000 With Alex Preddy, members of the network have admitted that he was what they call an observer.
00:21:31.000 I don't have that for Renee Nicole Good, but what I do know is that she was engaging in the exact same tactics that everybody else in the network was engaging in.
00:21:39.000 And here's the other thing when they are in the neighborhoods, when you are seeing them actively impede ICE or federal law enforcement operations in the neighborhoods, the only way you know to be there is through these networks.
00:21:52.000 And I know that because before I was infiltrated, I drove around looking for ICE convoys.
00:21:56.000 And looking for protesters in the neighborhood during active federal operations.
00:22:02.000 And I couldn't find any.
00:22:03.000 But then I joined the signal cats.
00:22:05.000 I hunted them down like over and over and over again.
00:22:07.000 So, Cam, for people who haven't seen it, can you give a basic summary?
00:22:11.000 What are the tactics they are describing?
00:22:14.000 What's the whole process for how this unfolds for maybe a typical ICE convoy?
00:22:18.000 So, as soon as they see a vehicle that they believe is federal law enforcement, they will send the plates into these signal rapid response groups.
00:22:28.000 They have several occupations.
00:22:30.000 There are people who are.
00:22:31.000 On motor patrols, so they're like in their cars and they're driving around looking for federal agents.
00:22:36.000 There are stationary patrols, people in their cars sitting on corners.
00:22:39.000 There are foot patrols, people walking around on foot, and then people stationary on foot as well.
00:22:43.000 You'll see them on corners everywhere you go in Minneapolis.
00:22:46.000 Those people are constantly just looking for plates.
00:22:48.000 Then there are plate checkers, and that's indicated by an emoji of a dinner plate.
00:22:53.000 That means that those are people who are probably home checking plates and comparing them to their Airtable database.
00:23:00.000 Okay, and then you have dispatchers who run a 24 7 call, it's active right now.
00:23:05.000 who tell people what intersections to go to.
00:23:08.000 They check the plates, they confirm it, and they tell people, go here.
00:23:11.000 And then all of the patrols go to that location.
00:23:14.000 And that's how they all end up there.
00:23:15.000 And the goal is, of course, to impede federal law enforcement.
00:23:19.000 That's their expressly stated goal.
00:23:21.000 And that's exactly what they do.
00:23:23.000 They obstruct, they de-arrest, and they aid and abet illegal immigrants.
00:23:27.000 They help vulnerable communities, they call them.
00:23:30.000 And that's pretty much the synopsis.
00:23:33.000 The network was nuked after I exposed it, and they've already rebuilt it.
00:23:36.000 I'd say it's probably about at half capacity of what it was before.
00:23:41.000 So, and then so they go there to obstruct.
00:23:44.000 What are the tactics they're told to use for the purposes of obstruction when they're on site?
00:23:49.000 Stand in the way, block.
00:23:50.000 A big one is honking your horn, blowing the whistles, follow the cars.
00:23:55.000 So they'll follow the convoys everywhere.
00:23:58.000 Like we were at one point, so Greg Bobino was driving around Southside Minneapolis in a convoy the other day.
00:24:04.000 I think it was a distraction convoy, but there was literally like 20 cars following this convoy protesters honking their horns, blowing whistles.
00:24:13.000 I mean, this convoy.
00:24:15.000 If it was actually conducting operations, it wouldn't have been able to get anything done due to the fact that there was such a volume of people following them with vehicles, which are weapons.
00:24:25.000 So, those are the tactics.
00:24:27.000 And when we drive our car downtown, our car was marked in their database as confirmed ICE somehow.
00:24:34.000 Don't know how.
00:24:35.000 It's in the Airtable database.
00:24:36.000 I've seen it, I have screenshots of it.
00:24:38.000 And so, we would pick up like four tails anytime we went to Southside Minneapolis.
00:24:42.000 And I mean, it is like as soon as you enter Southside Minneapolis, you automatically have three people following you.
00:24:48.000 We would just.
00:24:49.000 Right turn and a right turn and a right turn, going a complete circle, and they're still following us.
00:24:52.000 Yeah, I mean, that's, I mean, it shows just how widespread this network is.
00:24:56.000 There's a guy who replied to your tweet that's got 20 million engagements, by the way.
00:25:00.000 Congrats, Cam.
00:25:02.000 It's great, great work.
00:25:03.000 It's a guy named Eric Schwalm.
00:25:05.000 I've checked him out.
00:25:06.000 He's legit.
00:25:07.000 It says, as a former special forces warrant officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops, both hunting insurgents and trying to separate from the sympathetic populations, I've organized, I've Seen organized resistance up close from Anbar to Helmand.
00:25:24.000 The pattern is familiar.
00:25:26.000 Spotters, cutouts, dead drops, disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
00:25:35.000 And that's the key.
00:25:37.000 They are willing to absorb casualties by design.
00:25:41.000 It's an information op.
00:25:43.000 They want to win the hearts and minds of people to play victim when something goes wrong, when they cause it to go wrong.
00:25:51.000 This is the whole game.
00:25:52.000 This is the whole game.
00:25:53.000 They're going to go put a bunch of kamikaze Karens, put their bodies on the line.
00:25:57.000 That's why you see Joy Reid saying, you need to put your white bodies on the line.
00:26:01.000 They're going out in the streets in the middle of the freezing cold.
00:26:04.000 Doesn't seem to matter.
00:26:05.000 By the way, I do have a question just on this.
00:26:07.000 It seemed like the cold had no effect on these people because we got Antifa streaming in from all across the country.
00:26:14.000 Are you noticing?
00:26:16.000 I will say at the federal building, there's a lot less people.
00:26:20.000 And there was this big invisible walkout protest downtown Minneapolis.
00:26:23.000 There's tons of people for that, tens of thousands.
00:26:25.000 But that was just a walkout.
00:26:27.000 So they only had to be out on the streets for a short period of time, which made the crowd look massive.
00:26:32.000 I do think it is having some degree of effect on them.
00:26:34.000 It's not having an effect on the patrols, though, because they get to sit in their cars.
00:26:39.000 So you get to sit in your car all day.
00:26:42.000 And then finally, you find a convoy or an agent doing an operation.
00:26:44.000 You get out for an hour, potentially get killed.
00:26:46.000 And if you don't, you get back in your car and you're fine.
00:26:49.000 So, I don't see this getting asked a lot.
00:26:51.000 So, they're doing all of these hindrance operations.
00:26:54.000 Is ICE still making arrests?
00:26:57.000 Are we able to see that happening?
00:26:58.000 Are they striking out a lot?
00:27:00.000 What's going on in that dimension?
00:27:02.000 I mean, when I watch the signal chats, they're talking about there was a live abduction over here at this time.
00:27:02.000 It seems like it.
00:27:07.000 So, it seems like they're still arresting people, at least according to the intel from the protesters, which isn't always the most reliable thing ever.
00:27:13.000 But it seems like they're under the impression that arrests are still being made, regardless.
00:27:19.000 I haven't received any indication that things have slowed down.
00:27:22.000 It's definitely. difficult for them to operate given what they have to face at these intersections.
00:27:28.000 I think this, that clip was actually just after the Pretty shooting, which was like a war zone right there where it happened.
00:27:37.000 And those people were all called there through these signal chats.
00:27:40.000 I watched it happen when he was killed.
00:27:43.000 I was still in the, all of the chats before the network got, got nuked.
00:27:46.000 They didn't realize I, I'd leaked this right around the same time he got killed.
00:27:50.000 And they hadn't, because he got killed, it was fog of war.
00:27:52.000 They didn't realize I leaked it.
00:27:54.000 So, I was still watching.
00:27:56.000 Well, the organizational level of this and some of the high profile people, you mentioned the guy that was killed, Pretty, he was in these signal chats.
00:28:04.000 You've got the lieutenant governor, you've got some state reps.
00:28:07.000 Who else do we know that is of note that was inside these signal chats?
00:28:12.000 Yeah, I don't have 100% confidence that the lieutenant governor is in the chats, just because I don't want to make a 100% certain claim without 100% certainty.
00:28:22.000 It seems like there might be some evidence indicating that she is.
00:28:26.000 I know Zero Hour has done a lot of work on that.
00:28:28.000 Specifically, I haven't had a lot of time to dive into it because I'm still on the ground.
00:28:32.000 I go out every day still and I get in the mix of these protests.
00:28:36.000 I was out there in the tear gas yesterday.
00:28:39.000 So all of my time is spent on Signalgate and on the ground reporting.
00:28:43.000 I just do info dumps and I say, I recorded everything inside the Signal chats.
00:28:48.000 Here it all is.
00:28:49.000 And then other people go and they find out the names of the people who were in the chats and stuff like that.
00:28:54.000 They slow it down.
00:28:56.000 I just haven't had the time to dive into specifically identifying people.
00:28:59.000 I'm just making all of the information public and making sure that people are.
00:29:02.000 Oh, that these are my signal chats.
00:29:05.000 So there's clearly a lot of people in these.
00:29:07.000 They have pretty sophisticated resources when they're checking plates and all of that.
00:29:11.000 Is there any evidence that they might have access to privileged information, like that they have someone in the police, someone in the federal government, in the state government, who's giving them information or access to certain programs that are not supposed to be available for civilian use?
00:29:28.000 I've heard this a lot.
00:29:31.000 I haven't seen any evidence that that's the case.
00:29:34.000 It's definitely possible.
00:29:36.000 I'm not saying it's not possible, and I'm not saying it's not the case.
00:29:39.000 I haven't specifically seen conclusive evidence that that's the case.
00:29:43.000 They're definitely checking plates, but I do know that they have a system in place, and I haven't really had the opportunity to talk about this a lot.
00:29:49.000 The system is that they will run a plate and they have this Airtable database.
00:29:55.000 And when you report a plate, you say vehicle seen with agents in the front seat, agents exited the vehicle, seen at the Whipple Federal Building in the parking lot, seen in an abduction or whatever.
00:30:06.000 And that gives them, then the admins.
00:30:09.000 Basically, tag that with highly suspected ice, confirmed ice, possible or not ice.
00:30:17.000 And our vehicle was tagged as confirmed ice, I think, because we were like right behind the convoy one of the days.
00:30:24.000 And they're like, I was actually listening to them live while they were tracking our car.
00:30:27.000 They're like, Ford F 150 joins convoy, Ford F 150 joins convoy.
00:30:32.000 And I'm like, we're just doing the same thing.
00:30:34.000 So they're really, I mean, they're not that smart, too, is the other thing.
00:30:37.000 But I don't see any evidence that they have.
00:30:42.000 Like a government play checking software.
00:30:43.000 It seems like it's all reporting at this time.
00:30:46.000 Cam, I want to make sure that we get everybody to your PayPal and Venmo.
00:30:52.000 If you could put those up again.
00:30:53.000 So the PayPal is dchigbee at gmail.com and your Venmo is Cameron Higbee.
00:31:01.000 Cameron Higbee.
00:31:02.000 Please support the work that Cam's doing out there.
00:31:05.000 Please, everybody you're watching, Real America's Voice streaming, please support Cam.
00:31:09.000 This is how reporting works now.
00:31:10.000 You just have independent people.
00:31:12.000 It's much PayPal is actually DCB, just so people know.
00:31:15.000 Oh, DCB.
00:31:16.000 Thank you.
00:31:17.000 Thank you.
00:31:18.000 DCB Higby, DCB Higby at gmail.com.
00:31:21.000 Sorry about that, Cam.
00:31:23.000 Stay safe.
00:31:23.000 Thanks for having me, guys.
00:31:27.000 Hi, folks.
00:31:28.000 Andrew Colvett here.
00:31:29.000 I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Y Refi.
00:31:32.000 You've probably been hearing me talk about Y Refi for some time now.
00:31:35.000 We are all in with these guys.
00:31:38.000 If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice and give them a call.
00:31:44.000 Maybe you're behind on your payments.
00:31:45.000 Maybe you're even in default.
00:31:48.000 You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore.
00:31:50.000 Y Refi will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay.
00:31:54.000 They tailor each loan individually.
00:31:57.000 They can save you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.
00:32:01.000 We go to campuses all over America and we see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt.
00:32:07.000 Many of them don't even know how much they owe.
00:32:09.000 YRefi can help.
00:32:11.000 Just go to YRefi.com.
00:32:13.000 That's the letter Y, then refi.com.
00:32:16.000 And remember, YRefi doesn't care what your credit score is.
00:32:19.000 Just go to YRefi.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you.
00:32:26.000 I want to show you some of these folks that are actually confirmed.
00:32:31.000 I believe the sleuths on the internet, I should say, have confirmed that they're in these signal chats.
00:32:38.000 I mean, and it's very telling, right?
00:32:43.000 So, 263, this is an anti ICE signal group leader who's been coordinating ICE riots identified as Amanda Kohler, paid protest organizer, Minnesota state senator candidate, and campaign strategist for Tim Waltz.
00:32:57.000 So, that's a campaign strategist for Tim Waltz.
00:33:02.000 Working on paid protests, one of the organizers of this signal group.
00:33:07.000 That's what an insurgency looks like in 2026.
00:33:10.000 264, this is Anita Smithson, candidate for Minnesota State Senate, avid anti ICE watch dispatcher.
00:33:22.000 So, again, this is the face of an insurgent.
00:33:24.000 This is a radicalized population in the United States.
00:33:29.000 265, this is David Snyder, another gentleman who seems to have been.
00:33:35.000 Involved in these signal chats.
00:33:38.000 If any of this is incorrect, we'll correct the record.
00:33:40.000 By the way, we're looking at this.
00:33:42.000 This seems to be pretty well established.
00:33:44.000 So we will correct the record if any of these people are improperly named.
00:33:48.000 But I just wanted to show these because I think you have this image, or maybe you're like me and you have this image in your head of what a radical looks like.
00:33:59.000 We're used to the Portland mutants.
00:34:01.000 Correct.
00:34:01.000 And those are just sort of the SEAL Team Six of this.
00:34:05.000 They're the ones who really will get in the thick of it.
00:34:07.000 But The bedrock of so much of left-wing activism is people like that.
00:34:13.000 And they're very important.
00:34:14.000 And they're actually probably the greatest weapon the left has.
00:34:17.000 Just a normy-looking, normy-looking, very motivated, frankly, very moral in how they view the world.
00:34:24.000 They're the kind of- They have a moral framework.
00:34:27.000 Yeah, they have a moral framework.
00:34:29.000 They act according to their ideology.
00:34:31.000 They are not nihilists.
00:34:33.000 They are people.
00:34:35.000 When Charlie would talk about women being norms enforcers and that what goes on.
00:34:39.000 With a lot of liberal women, they're the kind of people who would be holding your church together 100 years ago.
00:34:45.000 And they've kind of been given a bad moral framework to work with, and they've gone berserk.
00:34:50.000 And that's what's going on here.
00:34:52.000 These people have gotten raised in or seduced by an ideology that's steadily driven them insane.
00:35:01.000 But they're still very committed, they're very organized, they're very effective, and they're able to get things done.
00:35:08.000 And organizing a signal chat like that is something.
00:35:12.000 We'll be frank, the right has a lot of difficulty with that.
00:35:14.000 That's one of the reasons even Turning Point was so important just getting off the ground this level of multi state, multi institution organization that the left just comes to a lot more organically most of the time.
00:35:26.000 Well, and I think a part of that, you're talking about these norms and these rules that these ideologies that they are very committed to.
00:35:35.000 And where, you know, we on the right, we want to build our business, build our family, build our church.
00:35:41.000 They want to build their insurgency.
00:35:43.000 They want to fight for those illegal immigrants and those child rapists with all their might.
00:35:48.000 And there's another factor, too, which is just that for a long time, if you had something on par with that signal chat on the right, one, it would get doxxed earlier and the people in it would get in serious trouble and would lose their jobs and have bar complaints against them and all that.
00:36:05.000 And I don't think you'll see the same thing with the insurgency.
00:36:07.000 Well, I hope you're wrong.
00:36:08.000 I hope you're wrong.
00:36:09.000 I actually, again, so I talk about building immunity.
00:36:13.000 This is going to be a repeat theme.
00:36:15.000 We're building immunity to the sob stories, I hope.
00:36:18.000 And I think we're doing that.
00:36:19.000 I think one of the key roles of this show, key roles of what Charlie did, certainly, key roles of Turning Point is helping build the backbone, build immunity to the old tactics.
00:36:29.000 We can't be pushed around and we can't be pushed off the mark.
00:36:32.000 When you let in 20 million people, 10 million people, whatever it was, Blake's 100% right.
00:36:37.000 That is essentially a nullification of the United States.
00:36:39.000 That means we don't have borders, we don't have sovereignty.
00:36:42.000 So we can't let that stand.
00:36:43.000 The rules have to be enforced.
00:36:45.000 You come in here and you invade us, you got to go.
00:36:47.000 That's the bottom line.
00:36:49.000 There can be no moving off that mark.
00:36:51.000 More to the point, not even just if you come here illegally, you got to go, but if we're trying to arrest you, like we have to be allowed to do it.
00:36:57.000 Yes.
00:36:58.000 Yeah.
00:36:58.000 And by the way, and if you're some lib that wants to keep all your fraudsters, by the way, I thought about this on the way to the office this morning.
00:37:06.000 Remember how this started?
00:37:08.000 Tens of millions.
00:37:09.000 Nick Sherman.
00:37:10.000 Yeah, that's the original starting point.
00:37:12.000 Tens of millions, just decades really of ignoring our immigration laws, decades of letting.
00:37:18.000 Businesses hire foreigners illegally.
00:37:21.000 But then you get Nick Shirley.
00:37:23.000 He goes and he uncovers billions of dollars of fraud up in.
00:37:25.000 Well, it's come up this weekend.
00:37:28.000 Every place they've gone, it's like, oh, there's an address next door and it has three daycares and a Medicaid services company all registered to this address.
00:37:34.000 Yeah.
00:37:34.000 That's happened repeatedly this weekend.
00:37:36.000 And by the way, they're stealing your money.
00:37:38.000 They're defrauding the U.S. taxpayer.
00:37:42.000 Many of them are violent criminals, foreign gang members, drug dealers, human traffickers, child traffickers.
00:37:49.000 Many have killed Americans, and I don't want to hear all this crap about illegal immigrants per capita kill less than ICE agents.
00:37:57.000 Garbage.
00:37:58.000 ICE agents are getting pressed right now, they're getting hunted and stalked in the streets, harassed, goaded, and they have a very difficult job.
00:38:07.000 Not every decision they make is going to be super easy to defend every time.
00:38:13.000 And this is why, because in a split second decision, when you're wrestling somebody who's resisting you, who's packing, who's armed, yeah, some decisions are going to be made that maybe in retrospect could have been made a different way.
00:38:27.000 When you're about to get rammed by a car, something bad could happen.
00:38:32.000 That's why my instinct, without fail, is always to be in defense of law enforcement.
00:38:37.000 And yours should be that way too, because they have a very difficult job.
00:38:41.000 I figure we should hit.
00:38:42.000 President Trump has spoken on truth.
00:38:45.000 This is about an hour ago.
00:38:47.000 He says, Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota.
00:38:53.000 It was a very good call.
00:38:54.000 And we actually seem to be on a similar wavelength.
00:38:57.000 I'd be interested in hearing that call.
00:38:59.000 I told Governor Walls that I would have Tom Holman call him and that we were looking to have any and all criminals that they have in their possession.
00:39:07.000 The governor, very respectfully, understood that.
00:39:09.000 And I will be speaking to him in the near future.
00:39:12.000 He was happy that Tom Holman was going to Minnesota.
00:39:14.000 And so am I.
00:39:15.000 We have had such tremendous success in Washington, D.C., Memphis, and New Orleans, and virtually every other place that we have touched.
00:39:23.000 And even in Minnesota, crime is way down.
00:39:26.000 But both Governor Waltz and I want to make it better.
00:39:29.000 President Donald J. Trump.
00:39:30.000 No, thank you for your attention.
00:39:31.000 Can I tell you why I like Tom Homan going there?
00:39:34.000 Tom Homan is a tactician.
00:39:36.000 So his background is actually less on the policy side, less on the media side, although he's very good at doing media.
00:39:42.000 I think he's very compelling.
00:39:44.000 He's a tactician, he's an operator.
00:39:46.000 This is a guy that received.
00:39:49.000 Commendation from Barack Obama for all of his deportations.
00:39:52.000 But this is a field general.
00:39:54.000 This is who we need in the field, and not only for moral support, boosting morale for ICE agents there that are getting pressed upon at every turn, but Tom Homan is an absolute rock star stud.
00:40:06.000 He's got a spine of steel.
00:40:08.000 He will not be cowed, he will not be bent.
00:40:10.000 And so I love having him there.
00:40:12.000 He's also, I think, very reasonable when you talk to him.
00:40:15.000 He can talk to people on the other side of the aisle.
00:40:17.000 And I think my hope is we will see de escalation.
00:40:20.000 But one way we get there is we do not back down.
00:40:23.000 You got to hand over your criminals.
00:40:25.000 There's no other way.
