Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were arrested on their way back from a trip to the United States with their son and daughter-in-law. President Maduro's wife, Cilia Maduro, was also arrested at the same time as her husband.

00:01:09.000Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to this week's edition of Thought Crime.
00:02:48.000Well, we certainly do that, Mr. President.
00:02:51.000Now, Mr. President, what do you say to these allegations that it was your own government that handed you up, that it was your own vice president and your own security forces that basically wanted to get rid of you and sold you out to the Americans?
00:03:48.000Now, Mr. President, we're also told that Delta Force was able to pretty much cut right through all of your presidential guard pretty much like a hot knife through butter.
00:03:59.000We're told something like 55 Cubans were killed, possibly 80 soldiers total in total.
00:04:05.000Why is it, Mr. President, that you didn't try to, I don't know, train your forces a little bit better or have better security?
00:06:40.000I mean, no food and no water in a Venezuelan prison sounds like it's also like a Venezuelan restaurant, a Venezuelan mall, a Venezuelan grocery store.
00:07:26.000President Trump allows me to do a one podcast.
00:07:28.000So, Mr. President, what would you, if you were advising President Trump what to do with the oil, the Venezuelan oil, what do you think America should do with it?
00:10:52.000Didi invite me to parties I cannot make because I get arrested if I go to America.
00:11:00.000So I stay in Caracas, and now I go to Diddy party every day.
00:11:04.000Well, you know, it's interesting because, Blake, I think you were just about to say our first topic might actually lend itself to something that might be potentially helpful for people who are in President Maduro's situation.
00:11:17.000They're stuck inside, but they do have computer access.
00:11:21.000So this is something that might actually be useful for them.
00:11:24.000Well, do I want to hit that or do we want to hit Minneapolis first, Jack?
00:11:47.000It looks like he was totally okay from that perspective, but there's no question they are starting to target him more.
00:11:53.000And we know the sun is going down there in Minneapolis.
00:11:56.000Also, outside of this, you know, this area where the shooting took place, they've created, you know, some kind of autonomous zone or maybe perhaps the early stages of an autonomous zone similar to what we saw in Seattle five years ago with the Chaz.
00:12:13.000I don't know if this is going to be called the Maz, the Minneapolis autonomous zone.
00:13:26.000He needs to be probably, who knows what they would want to say.
00:13:30.000And but we were saying on the show today, I think the person who bears the most responsibility is probably Mayor Jacob Fry and then Governor Tim Walz.
00:13:39.000And the reason they bear responsibility is they decided to pit their own people against ICE as political pawns, as human shields.
00:13:48.000And they wanted something like this to happen.
00:13:49.000They were all deep down, they are overjoyed that this took place.
00:13:55.000They wanted to create a situation like this, and they got their wish and they're celebrating right now.
00:14:01.000I mean, some of the stuff that I've been seeing, by the way, is pretty insane in terms of them going, going and talking about how then, and Blake, you've definitely seen this before with a lot of other, you know, Kyle Rittenhouse type shootings or other police-based shootings where they'll say, they'll sit there and say, oh, but why didn't the officer just, you know, shoot the tires?
00:14:23.000Or, oh, why didn't the officer just do this?
00:15:08.000But what I would like to get into with the gang, since we are on thought crime, we're supposed to be committing thought crimes.
00:15:15.000What is going on with these NPR listener women who seem to think that they can just commit acts like this with reckless abandon and face no consequences whatsoever?
00:15:30.000Why do they seem to, because there were other people, and Cassandra Fairbanks had this TikTok video that she posted earlier today where there was another woman out of Charlotte and she was saying, oh yeah, me and my friends were going around looking for ICE agents and trying to block them as well.
00:15:44.000And we never thought that something like this could happen to us, but now I'm starting to get scared.
00:15:50.000And it's like, yeah, if you see police officers out conducting an arrest or out, you know, dealing with a, you know, I don't know, a car crash, anything, like whatever they're doing, and you drive up to them and block your car in front of what law enforcement is doing, you're going to have a bad day.
00:16:10.000I don't know if this is going to happen, but if you try to ram them with your car, then yes, definitely this is going to happen and you're definitely going to have a bad day.
00:16:20.000And what's crazy to me, though, is that these liberal, you know, the AWFLs, the awfuls have never seemed to actually face any real consequences at all in their lives.
00:17:31.000Today alone in this country, there have been four different domestic terrorist attacks on federal officers by the ramming of vehicles.
00:17:39.000Three of them happened here in Minneapolis.
00:17:42.000We've seen over 100 of these vehicle rammings happen in just recent weeks, and this must stop.
00:17:48.000ICE alone is facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats against all of them.
00:17:58.000In fact, the very same officer who was attacked today had previously been dragged by an anti-ICE rioter who had rammed him with a car and drug him back in June.
00:18:08.000He sustained injuries at that time as well.
00:18:11.000Yeah, so what my question is, because this has been going on for months, these ramming incidents, my question is, who's training them to do this?
00:18:19.000Like what message boards, what private Discord chats, whatever, who's funding it?
00:18:27.000It was probably in like, I want to say October, November, and it was in Southern California.
00:18:32.000The guy instantly calls his lawyer, which was connected to some nonprofit that was getting funded through a nonprofit.
00:18:38.000So where does that nonprofit get its money to pay the lawyers?
00:18:42.000How did they coordinate with the local citizen observers so that these people know where to call and who to call when they get in trouble?
00:18:50.000And then within two hours, this guy was on with Aaron Burnett on CNN, crying victim, because he was harassing, stalking ICE agents in the field.
00:19:00.000I mean, I don't know that they need to be trained to ram someone with a car.
00:19:03.000It just, it seems pretty straightforward in how they do it.
00:19:06.000But what you will find if you float around in left-wing circles online, the thing about it, I guess, that the right should understand is the left is pretty good at being decentralized about things.
00:19:18.000So you can just be in a Discord server.
00:19:24.000You can be on Threads or Blue Sky or whatever.
00:19:27.000You can be just in private chat rooms.
00:19:40.000And so, well, but we won't do that here because that's just, that's a fundamental difference between the left and right and how they would be.
00:19:50.000Hey, everybody, this is Andrew Colvett, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show.
00:19:54.000Burna is proud to continue supporting Charlie Kirk's mission and the important work of Turning Point USA because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins with protecting themselves, their families, and their communities.
00:20:05.000The Burna, less lethal launcher, looks like a firearm, but it isn't one.
00:20:09.000It fires powerful chemical, irritant, and kinetic projectiles that can stop a threat in its tracks, giving you the time and space you need to get to safety.
00:20:18.000And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words.
00:20:20.000Burna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal measures.
00:20:26.000It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and over 500,000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement.
00:20:34.000Burna can be shipped directly to your door.
00:20:36.000I've personally tested the Burna pistol and can vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use.
00:20:46.000That's burna.com and see why tens of thousands of Americans are choosing Burna for peace of mind.
00:20:54.000It's one of the things I would just add is that it's also that they don't need to go necessarily always to go into Discord chats and private servers because their stuff doesn't ever get banned.
00:21:06.000On if you can go on Instagram and find Antifa pages posting, oh, do this to more ICE agents, or they have like Ice Watch different sites that are up.
00:21:15.000Reddit's got a whole page in Minneapolis dedicated to Ice Watch.
00:21:36.000So again, they just do it right out in the open.
00:21:40.000And unfortunately, you don't actually see either the social media companies taking action against it.
00:21:46.000And you definitely don't see action taken until, unfortunately, events like this take place.
00:21:51.000And you see agents in this case having to defend, defend for their lives and be in this situation when they shouldn't have to be because the National Guard should be there already.
00:22:03.000In fact, it's just a thing because you mentioned it.
00:22:05.000I just decided to search Ice Watch Minneapolis.
00:22:27.000Post-Millennial just posted up a story that, in fact, Renee Good was a quote Ice Watch warrior who was trained by far left activists to disrupt and resist agents.
00:22:39.000So she is someone who received this training.
00:22:41.000She is someone who possibly was working with this Reddit page or something similar.
00:22:48.000Through school and activist groups, she became involved with an Ice Watch group, quote, a loose collection of activists whose mission was to disrupt ICE during operations.
00:22:58.000Similar groups and agitators have been forming all over the country with the goals to dox, disrupt, and block ICE from carrying out lawful operations to remove illegal aliens from the city.
00:23:59.000Jack, to your point, to your point, that I mean, to corroborate the fact that she was obviously trained, this was an eyewitness to this event, 281.
00:24:09.000They clearly wanted her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest, is my understanding.
00:24:16.000I talked to another guy who was driving behind her.
00:24:20.000But she was very successful in blocking traffic.
00:24:27.000She was doing what she was set out to do.
00:24:30.000And so they wanted to get her the hell out of there.
00:25:20.000If you remember 10 years ago, car blocking, using vehicles to get in the way, which was just referenced in that video, which is, again, this is what happens.
00:25:31.000I mean, what can go wrong when you take crazy people, you ignite them through an organization like Mijinte, you put them in a vehicle, you tell them to use the vehicle to impede lawful conduct.
00:25:46.000And then, you know, wouldn't you know it, you know, they could actually maybe hurt somebody because vehicles are one of the deadliest things that you could give a crazy person.
00:25:56.000And so this one that I'm looking at is a protester was transferred to immigration authorities in Arizona.
00:26:04.000But after they were, again, doing the same exact thing they were blocking.
00:26:27.000They spent the last year calling ICE, you know, the Gestapo, the Nazis, the fascists.
00:26:33.000And then we're supposed to be surprised when people, and Tyler brought it up, I mean, car blocking is a thing on the left.
00:26:39.000So we're supposed to be surprised when people interfering with an ICE operation get the consequences of interfering with an ICE operation.
00:26:46.000And so they think that nothing's going to happen to them by using their car.
00:26:50.000And you saw in that clip that lady, she was leading the way.
00:26:52.000She was obviously trying to stop this ICE operation.
00:26:56.000And she found out what the consequences were.
00:26:59.000And so I don't think car blocking is going to be a big thing on the left anymore now that they've found out what the consequences are.
00:27:06.000But we can't be surprised when you interfere with an ICE operation that that's actually stemming from the left constantly labeling our brave ICE officers as fascists, as Gestapo, as Nazis.
00:27:20.000And they're not actually enforcing the law in our country, but they're actually just taking decent, nice, innocent families and deporting them for absolutely no reason at all, of course.
00:27:29.000Well, that's what I want to get into, though, is because you've got people that just live in this soup all the time.
00:27:35.000And particularly, it's these affluent female white women, some cases more middle class.
00:27:41.000And they're just listening to NPR over and over.
00:27:44.000Fisher King had a tweet up earlier where he said NPR said that ICE shot a woman in her car just while she was sitting in it.
00:27:53.000Didn't even mention anything about the gas, didn't even mention anything about assaulting the officer or trying to run into him.
00:27:59.000And so this is still what I want to get into: is how is it that we have these massive pockets and swaths of our population where there's millions of people caught up in this fried mental model where they just think it's totally fine to go and interfere with police?
00:28:19.000I think it's kind of like LARPing in a sense, like live action role playing, but it's something where like they don't actually realize that this isn't a game, but they think it is.
00:28:27.000Yeah, they think they're the Robin Hoods of our society and that they're upholding the social and moral law of our country when they don't actually realize that you're breaking the law by coming into our country legally.
00:28:38.000But also, I don't know if you guys have seen the clip of the car, its tires actually slid because it was icy out there and it was cold and the tires didn't catch traction.
00:28:48.000But thank God that happened because if it didn't, the ICE officer 100% would have been run over before he was able to take the shot.
00:28:55.000And so say what you want, but yeah, you can see it in this clip.
00:29:00.000She speeds forward and her tire does not catch the traction.
00:29:04.000So say what you want, but you cannot be the Robin Hood of society and uphold what you think is actually the law of our country when these brave ICE officers are putting their lives on the line day in and day out.
00:29:16.000It's like they actually, if you actually believe, right?
00:29:20.000If you actually believe that ICE are fascist Nazis, then you've been told your whole life that the best thing you can do is go out and fight the Nazis.
00:29:34.000And look, every one of us on this program right now, and, you know, we know exactly what the consequences of something like that can be when you're told over and over that someone's a Nazi because they don't call you a Nazi because they think you're one.
00:29:50.000They call you one because they want to be able to kill you and get away with it.
00:29:56.000Well, and I, so Mikey, you were saying that perhaps we're not going to see any car rammings, but I think it's a little more insistent, like, you know, because now somebody's effed around and found it.
00:30:15.000Here's the problem, though, is that again, this whole thing, the only way to stop a bus deporting a bunch of people is put a car in front of it.
00:30:24.000The only way to, you know, block a road, they're not going to do this with human change.
00:30:48.000They want a few martyrs so that they can sort of now protest and do their own jazz in Minneapolis, although it's freezing, but they're not going to be.
00:31:22.000You can't let yourself get bossed around by people who are willful disruptors of the social contract and willful underminers of law and order.
00:31:31.000When people try to get hooked on these memes, they're trying to increase entropy.
00:31:35.000They're trying to obliterate the ability for ICE to do its job.
00:31:38.000The only way you can stop that is you just say, nope, every single time, bam, the car's gone.
00:31:47.000My theory, though, is that they actually want white women being the ones driving these cars.
00:31:51.000Well, they certainly are the easiest ones to recruit to drive the cars.
00:31:54.000Well, we talk about white people intentionally want white women to drive the cars and they want because I think because if you look in the past, in the past, they were kind of recruiting like Hispanic leaders to be involved with this.
00:32:11.000And part of the intentionality of that is I actually think they want to influence white women to feel bad for white women who become victims of their self-created crime.
00:32:24.000Like, I actually think that the insidious thing about all this is they're actually intentionally recruiting white females to get involved with this because they know that the white female vote in America is probably going to be more impacted by a crazy white female getting killed by ICE agency.
00:32:57.000They're probably bad drivers, and they're also most likely to do something stupid, think that they're GIG.
00:33:03.000Like, if you need to stick someone's face on a poster and like, this is the martyr, you don't want to use those Antifa mutants that they get arrested in Portland all of the time.
00:33:12.000You want someone who has a face, ideally no tattoos, ideally no like weird disfigurements.
00:33:35.000And so if their ultimate goal is anarchy, which is to make, you know, a new chaz to burn down Minneapolis and burn down Wendy's, well, you see two extremes here.
00:33:44.000You see George Floyd, who was arrested and died doing something wrong, which was stealing, beating women, taking fentanyl, and Derek Chauvin upholding the law, who should be out of jail, by the way.
00:33:59.000And then on this case, you see a woman who's interfering with an ICE operation, and both of them get killed in the process.
00:34:07.000And so if the ultimate goal is anarchy in the world of fair and equitable, why isn't the white woman getting the exact same riots and burning in the streets and destruction of a city that the black man got?
00:35:01.000This is more radicalizing to the extremes.
00:35:03.000It greatly, here's what's more likely to happen.
00:35:05.000You're a lot more likely after this to have, like, I'll be frank, an Antifa psycho with an AR-15 goes and tries to ambush and murder ICE agents.
00:35:44.000I guess those didn't boil over and rise as much.
00:35:47.000Yeah, but you're right, though, because it's kind of like the Cerno, Steve Sellier observation that, you know, if you're going to like Cerno's always saying, and Jack, back me up on this, that when you get a white guy, not dissimilar from, you know, a Tyler Robinson person, right?
00:36:03.000Like silent but very deadly, they, they, when they get radicalized, they it's not an impulsive violence, it's a it's a meticulous, methodical, planned out type versus the spray and pray like Floyd Apalooza rioting, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, which is which is horrific.
00:36:23.000I said on War Room earlier today that it would, that it would not surprise me if one of the things that we see next is an attempt to assassinate Commander Bovino.
00:36:34.000Uh, he's walking around there all the time, he is a very well-known target, he's on TV all the time, and as horrific as it is, and as you know, obviously ghoulish as it is to talk about, you do have to actually point that out to say, look, you know, this guy is going to be a massive, high-value target for the left.
00:36:54.000And I guarantee you, and we just, we just saw them assault him once, so I guarantee you, what were they doing?
00:36:59.000They were testing security, and they're gonna, they just, they, the training just showed up at JD's house a couple of nights ago.
00:37:05.000Uh, Charlie, of course, is still no longer with us.
00:37:08.000And this is what I don't get when I see so much like like infighting and like all the insanity going on in like the conservative media world right now.
00:37:15.000And it's like, guys, they're they're literally Bolsheviks at the door who are trying to kill us.
00:39:01.000You know, you'll see those polls that say liberal women are way more likely to report having, you know, a diagnosed mental illness than conservative women.
00:39:10.000And also, liberal men are more likely to report a diagnosed mental thing.
00:39:13.000And the really insane people are more likely to be on the left.
00:39:17.000And as we've pointed out, like, you know, the trans epidemic, that correlates with every single mental illness known to man.
00:39:25.000They're vastly more likely to have all of these.
00:39:27.000These are mentally unwell individuals.
00:39:29.000And yeah, sometimes that manifests as I post embarrassing things on the internet, but sometimes that manifests as I try to do a mass shooting.
00:39:37.000We've had at this point, like over the holidays, we just, you know, we got additional confirmation that the Nashville shooter was actually motivated by like aggressive racial grievance, just straight up in their notebooks.
00:39:49.000It's like, oh, I should target this school because it's white instead of black.
00:39:52.000And we saw transgender radicalism in the Minneapolis shooting.
00:39:55.000You just, you have all of these ingredients for lunatic people to express themselves in violence.
00:40:01.000And they're endlessly getting this media script from political leaders on the left, from Governor Walls, from members of Congress saying this is.
00:40:30.000Not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye.
00:40:33.000Just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared.
00:40:37.000To be clear, there's no way for us to know whether they were actually criminals or not.
00:40:41.000It's not hyperbole to say we're not far from a world where anyone could get that knock at a door.
00:40:47.000And there's no guarantee you'd get your day in court or that you'd ever make it home alive from whatever corner of the world they stick you in.
00:40:52.000Now, if Trump and his folks want to come for Minnesotans, we need to make sure that there's a firewall that they have to come through before they get to them.
00:41:43.000That is what they are saying every day.
00:41:45.000They absolutely, they want, the thing is, is they want both outcomes.
00:41:49.000As we said on the show today, they want to stoke the lunatics who will get out a rifle and actually murder them because they think, one, it might force ICE to dial things back.
00:42:00.000It might keep people from joining ICE.
00:42:02.000It'll make their enforcement operations harder.
00:42:04.000But it also increases the risk for these Renee Good type individuals who are just trying to get in the way, block things up, get in their face, because it's that balance.
00:42:15.000It's that every ICE agent, when someone gets in their face, has to wonder, is this the lunatic with the rifle who's going to kill us?
00:43:40.000How far away from the Chiefs of the United States?
00:43:41.000Yeah, and with the Tim Walz thing, like yeah, this is all smoke and mirrors with him.
00:43:47.000Because if he can get you to spend all of your time thinking about the Gestapo and the Nazis and the fascists that are wrongfully arresting beautiful, kind, you know, participating members of society for absolutely no reason and sending them back to their country, even though they actually broke the law, then he can get you to ignore the fact that under his administration, there was billions of dollars that just disappeared through Somali fraud and daycare fraud and just fraud in general.
00:44:16.000And so I think it's really rich when this guy is talking about ICE agents that are actually doing their job.
00:44:21.000And because they're doing their job, they're getting dox.
00:44:24.000They're getting their addresses leaked.
00:44:26.000They're getting bricks thrown through their windows.
00:44:27.000They're getting their families threatened for doing their job and upholding the law.
00:44:31.000And so when this guy says, you'll have your day in court, it's just so sweet.
00:44:37.000Such sweet justice when we can say, no, actually, Tim Walz, you'll have your day in court for actually breaking the law and trying to get us to all look in the other direction, the wrong direction, to focus on things that are not the truth, to focus on people that are actually doing their jobs and upholding the law.
00:44:55.000Yeah, so FBI Portland is investigating an agent-involved shooting that happened at approximately 2.15 near the 10,000 block of Main Street in Portland involving customs and border patrol agents in which two individuals were wounded.
00:45:08.000This remains an active and ongoing investigation led by the FBI.
00:45:28.000The Glen Fair neighborhood appears to be a frequent.
00:45:32.000Yeah, but if you're an illegal immigrant and you're getting trying to, you know, ICE is trying to nab you and you've got this big story going on in Minneapolis and all the left wingers are all riled up, then you might think, oh, this is the time to really press it and try and get away and flee.
00:45:48.000So it's not to say that those two stories aren't disconnected.
00:45:51.000You know, yeah, one involves a U.S. citizen who's a white lady, 37-year-old white lady, and the other one's probably, let's be honest, probably Hispanics or some other minority group.
00:46:00.000But it still increases the temperature in the country that, listen, it's brazen, anti-law enforcement activity where everybody thinks that they have a role to play and standing up to law enforcement.
00:46:12.000No, whatever happened to what my dad told me, which is just like, if a cop pulls you over, you go 10 and 2, you take the keys out of the car, you turn it off, you roll down the window, and you say, yes, Mr. Officer.
00:47:03.000But yeah, I think that my most important takeaway on this is I do think we care about actually achieving the administration's goal, what it was run on, which is get deportation, get mass deportations.
00:47:29.000So, if they're, as we predict, there's going to be more car blockages, they try to exploit this.
00:47:34.000What's your strategy to deal with that?
00:47:36.000What I've seen some of them mentioning, and some of the political leaders, city council, local DA saying, like, come at us, we're going to arrest you.
00:47:44.000Like, they're going to start trying to bend state law to be able to arrest some of these federal law enforcement.
00:47:51.000Eventually, someone is going to try to become make them, frankly, someone's going to try to make themselves a presidential frontrunner by being the one who pulls the stunt of trying to arrest an ICE agent while they're doing their operations.
00:48:37.000We talked about that today, actually, with Eric Schmidt, who's a former AG of Missouri.
00:48:41.000He said that basically the charges would get rolled into a federal, the federal supremacy would kick in and it would become a federal charge, basically, because it's a federal law enforcement.
00:49:12.000And so, yeah, a federal officer could be indicted for all sorts of state crimes.
00:49:16.000You could commit a hit and run or something.
00:49:18.000You could break the laws and get arrested.
00:49:21.000But if you're conducting your duties as a federal officer, then that would basically get thrown out in federal court.
00:49:29.000It's just not something that a state can do.
00:49:31.000Well, this is the whole thing that I'm dealing with right now.
00:49:34.000It's like the whole supremacy thing, right?
00:49:36.000This is where the left wants to use lawfare to try to invoke state law to try to go after.
00:49:43.000I mean, think about what was going on with the electorate stuff in Georgia.
00:49:46.000They try to go down to the county level to indict Trump.
00:49:50.000At the state level, they're indicting political opponents at the state level because it's under away from the federal government.
00:49:59.000So if Trump's in office, obviously they're going to try to do everything they possibly can to indict whoever using state powers, right?
00:50:07.000And again, just to your point, Jack, the law is very clear that the federal government's in charge and where it's in charge, they have no say.
00:50:21.000But that doesn't solve the cheesecake incident for BLM, the BLM rights.
00:51:16.000It's actually, there's a long history.
00:51:17.000There's a lot of legal back and forth specifically on the can they prosecute a federal agent who is doing federal actions.
00:51:28.000There's some funny ones, like during Prohibition, or in 1898, Virginia charged a tax collector posse who shot and killed horses and cattle during a shootout.
00:51:39.000They claimed they were ambushed while trying to collect taxes.
00:51:43.000There was like prohibition-related cases.
00:51:45.000It would be interesting, but I would say before you worry about the charges, I think that won't be dramatic enough.
00:51:51.000Someone is going to want to try to arrest the agents while they're doing their thing, and you have to be ready for how you handle that.
00:51:57.000They should not allow that to occur without having a plan.
00:52:02.000I wonder what the plan would be because that could devolve into sort of like a shootout.
00:53:38.000But I'm seeing some people in the chat.
00:53:40.000And then I went back over to Twitter to check it out, where they're saying that the ICE CBP shooting in Portland may also have involved a vehicle assault.
00:53:59.000If you're watching live here on Thought Crime, you're hearing down to the second new information.
00:54:07.000This is such a fascinating vein of thought, though, what Blake was just talking about.
00:54:12.000So if you have, let's just say, Minneapolis PD, or what about its National Guard?
00:54:21.000Where does that fall into the state level?
00:54:25.000I mean, certainly if this precedent from that from a place called Little Rock, where if you muster the National Guard to try and say, I'm going to block the execution of federal law here, that is the clearest precedent in the world for where the president can step in over the head of a governor.
00:54:42.000And just commandeer the National Guard.
00:54:44.000Yeah, like you could debate whether he's able to do it just in a normal riot, but that is what happened in the infamous Little Rock case was Orville Falbus called out the National Guard and said, we're going to block the integration of our school.
00:54:57.000I'm federalizing the guard and they will enforce integration.
00:55:00.000And so that is what you could certainly have here.
00:55:04.000Yesterday he gave a warning, which apparently is the first step.
00:55:08.000It says, mobilize, get ready, you might be mobilized.
00:55:11.000And he literally said in the clip, because I need to protect the safety of Minnesotans, including potentially from rogue ICE agents, which is a direct head-to-head between state and federal officials.
00:55:25.000Now, Trump hasn't federalized the Minnesota National Guard.
00:56:04.000I mean, it goes back as far as George Washington used it in the Whiskey Rebellion.
00:56:08.000I mean, what happens is the president.
00:56:12.000So the LA riots are like the classic example of this in 1992.
00:56:16.000So George H.W. Bush at the time calls in the National Guard, declares an insurrection, and calls in not just the National Guard, but also even the federal active duty for the United States.
00:56:31.000I believe it was active duty Marines from Camp Pendleton who came down as well as National Guardsmen, many of whom who had just served in units that had just been in like the Gulf War and Kuwait and other spots that had just rotated back to the Los Angeles, California area then came in and they are ordered under the president of the United States to conduct operations within the United States to put down an insurrection, put down these mass acts of lawlessness.
00:57:03.000We've been doing this since our very first president.
00:57:05.000And I always like to add that not only did George Washington order and use the Insurrection Act or a similar legal device, he actually commanded troops while sitting as president to put down the rebellion in western Pennsylvania.
00:57:22.000So this is so and yeah, so you're right, Jack.
00:57:26.000The act has been invoked about 30 times since the late 18th century.
00:57:31.000And it looks like it can happen at the state's request or to enforce federal authority when laws are obstructed or to protect constitutional rights when unlawful combinations or conspiracies deprive people of them.
00:57:44.000So yeah, the president can actually deploy active duty U.S. Armed Forces and or federalized state National Guard units.
00:57:51.000So that would be like the Little Rock incident.
00:57:54.000And then so we've got 1992 Los Angeles riots, right?
00:58:23.000I think I think people are demanding the Insurrection Act because it was brought up a lot during, frankly, Floydapalooza in the Floydapalooza.
00:58:31.000And also after like January 6th, that was in that was in the water as a thing to discuss.
00:58:36.000So I think it's in people's vocabulary.
00:58:39.000So people are mad at Tim Wallace, so they're saying invoke the Insurrection Act.
00:58:42.000I think much more than, oh, do you need to invoke Insurrection Act or not?
00:58:47.000There hasn't really been a riot in Minneapolis yet.
00:58:50.000Again, have that thought process of if someone is trying to, if they're going to up their lawfare efforts against ICE, against ICE agents, against ICE operations.
00:59:00.000And they just need to have a game plan for how they're going to make sure that deportation ops continue.
00:59:06.000Well, what happens if there's a standoff if they try and arrest an ICE officer?
00:59:10.000That is a super interesting, like, and scary question.
00:59:29.000Fort Sumter, it's actually worth reading how that crisis goes down.
00:59:33.000So the South has seceded, and what they are doing is they are claiming ownership of all the federal forts in the South where the U.S. military is.
00:59:41.000There's several of them, and we actually evacuate most of them because we can't hold them.
00:59:45.000But Fort Sumter is off the coast of Charleston, and Lincoln refuses to evacuate it.
00:59:50.000South Carolina says, You have to leave.
01:00:04.000I'm not going to send any munitions to the fort.
01:00:06.000I'm only going to send food to the fort, as an example.
01:00:08.000He's only going to supply the men so they can remain in place, but without any addition.
01:00:13.000He's not going to like fill it up with gunpowder and shot.
01:00:16.000And he's very clever about doing this because what Lincoln realizes is: if I have this fort open fire on the city of Charleston, we are the aggressors.
01:01:31.000So hopefully this would bode well for this scenario not happening.
01:01:34.000The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association stands firmly behind law enforcement officers, accountability under the law and the safety of every Minnesota community.
01:01:41.000Irresponsible, reckless rhetoric from political leaders attacking law enforcement.
01:01:46.000So they're standing with their ICE brothers, is what this says.
01:02:22.000If somebody like Tim Walz or Jacob Fry, they have their like, you know, Somalian, Somalian like police force unit that would go in there and do his bidding.
01:02:32.000It's got like, hey, you know, you gave me the political kickbacks, but I protected your fraud.
01:02:41.000I think we've been a lot on this topic.
01:02:43.000What if, what if, so, because Tim Walz, I guess he was in the National Guard.
01:02:48.000I don't know if he still is or not, but somebody was saying that they should recall Tim Walz to the National Guard and then invoke the Insurrection Act, but just for Tim Walz.
01:02:59.000I don't know if we have the power to make him have to, and by the way, and make him have to go and guard the spot where the ICE agent was shot.
01:03:07.000So he has to be the one who has to stand there all the whole time.
01:03:11.000By the way, I did look up the Katrina response was not the Insurrection Act, although active duty troops were used.
01:03:19.000There is another act called, I had to remind myself, called the Stafford Act that is used for when active duty troops come in for disaster response.
01:03:29.000So yes, LMs of the 82nd Airborne were there, and they use these for hurricanes, you know, routinely.
01:03:36.000I looked up the Whiskey Rebellion Jack.
01:03:38.000And that was actually the Militia Act of 1792.
01:03:42.000And it was because in those days, right after the Civil War, or the Revolutionary War, it was like all the states had militias, local militia groups.
01:03:50.000And so it was essentially the same thing, but it was, you know, for local militia groups.
01:05:48.000It's for supremely talented people who have world-class abilities in science, athletics, the arts, supremely talented people, and you just need to have them in your country because they are world-class at something.
01:06:03.000It was created apparently in response to the Nixon administration tried to deport John Lennon, which they should have, but they were apparently unable to do so.
01:06:12.000But then later in 1990, Congress created this 0-1 visa, and it includes, it's a visa you can just get if you're a top artist.
01:06:20.000But instead of giving this to, I guess, top classical musicians or, you know, Olympic caliber athletes, apparently we now give them to social media influencers and OnlyFans models.
01:06:36.000Basically, if they have millions of followers and a lot of engagement on social media, you can qualify for an 0-1 visa and come to the United States.
01:07:22.000What's amazing is in the article, they have some lawyer complaining, and it's not that, oh, we shouldn't have OnlyFans visas as a concept.
01:07:31.000It's they complain, uh, New York-based attorney Shervin Abachi, founder of Abachi Law, warns that there is a risk that artists whose work is not engineered for online hits will be disadvantaged as the immigration officials will just narrowly focus on their number of views and subscribers when granting these.
01:07:49.000So, like, what if we have the auteur-only fans whores who have a more niche, a more niche community?
01:07:56.000What if we're not having enough of these auteur-only fans whores, and we're just getting the most popular ones in the most crass populist way?
01:08:03.000Well, we're getting rid of DEI in just about everything, so you know, if we're going to take the take them, we got to take the best.
01:08:21.000The H-1B, the HTV, the J-1, and the Ho One, they all have to go.
01:08:26.000But, but, you know, when it comes down to it, like, I feel like there should be some kind of, I don't know, like a, like a, perhaps some sort of review, you know, situation, perhaps a board.
01:08:39.000And I think we should point Blake to that board to determine whether or not the hoes are allowed into the country.
01:09:14.000What I would do is I would go to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and I would say, you need to make a nice federal seal or stamp, probably a stamp, and they'll make a nice official U.S. government stamp that says on it, be gone thought, and I will stamp every single application with that stamp, and I'll have a great day every day.
01:10:31.000Do you know there's only under the age of 30, there's only 43 million women under the age of 30 in America, and there's 1.3 million on OnlyFans.
01:11:38.000The one of the things that I wanted to add to that though, is that I did actually hear this before that um apparently, like only the top 1% of the only I don't know what you call them only fans creators are actually making digital products a living off of it, like everybody else, like like the other 99 are like very very, they're just scraping by, they're just so.
01:12:07.000There's one point, scraping by rubbing pennies together.
01:12:12.000No, i'll keep warm our live stream on Rumble right now, and obviously we'll have a lot more, but I mean, there's a good chance that we have some only fans models that are listening right now.
01:12:20.000People really want to hear the percentage on this show.
01:12:25.000We've got one in the top right corner, which which our, our argument would be is like, look, we've got plenty of jobs to go chase ballots this year.
01:15:51.000I think the best way to, the best research we can do on, if you want to understand social media influencers, our policy should be, there's a thing you guys can read.
01:15:59.000We were talking about history on this episode.
01:16:01.000So in China, they had a thing called the Cultural Revolution, and they took their, you know, they took people in their cities, they took their educated elites and all of that, and they trucked them into the countryside, and they made them work as agricultural laborers.
01:16:15.000And they would humiliate, they would like ritual, they would, you know, humiliate them and berate them and beat them and treat them like crap.
01:16:20.000And occasionally they basically get murdered and all of that.
01:16:24.000And I only cite that as an example because we should do that to the influencers.
01:16:32.000Keep the hookers and the hoes out of our country.
01:16:45.000And I do think that this is a real problem.
01:16:47.000And this is like a bigger problem that I've just, I've even been thinking about the monetization of influencers has created a whole new channel of a different kind of lazy mental illness too.
01:20:57.000I didn't even know that book existed, but it exists.
01:20:59.000Yeah, so in 2021, I put out with Brave Books, Love Brave Books, an anti-communist children's book called The Island of Free Ice Cream.
01:21:08.000And it's sort of a way to begin to teach little kids.
01:21:13.000You know, and it's a great series in general.
01:21:15.000It's also the introduction of one of the main characters in the series.
01:21:18.000But this book is all about teaching you how if somebody walks up and starts promising you all sorts of free stuff, like, I don't know, an island of free ice cream that maybe, just maybe, they're lying because they want something from you and they want you to give it to them.
