00:00:00.000 Rob, pull up what AOC said. Here's AOC urging U.S. Senate to block ICE funding
00:00:05.460 after armed protester fatally shot in Minneapolis. Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:11.940 Foregone conclusion. But again, Democrats do have the ability. There are 10,
00:00:16.740 Republicans do need 10 Democratic votes in the United States Senate to pass continued
00:00:22.920 unfettered ICE voting with no guardrails as it stands. And I think that regardless of where you
00:00:29.380 are in the Democratic Party, this moment and this incident proves that the status quo cannot stand.
00:00:37.740 And I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the Senate to vote no against maintaining this DHS
00:00:45.500 funding as it stands. This is their new defund the police. This is it. Take the money away and get
00:00:53.820 them less trained and less thing. Instead of her saying, hey, guys, just let's just get the
00:00:59.060 illegals out. Seventy percent of them are bad. Let's just let's just clean house. And like it's
00:01:03.540 unbelievable. You're right. It's going to this is working. Oh, yeah, they're close to it because
00:01:08.360 you have. Remember, you've got these Republicans that always tend to go on social issues. They
00:01:12.480 jump over Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, I believe both senators in Maine and one in Pennsylvania. That's
00:01:21.360 four of the six we need. You only need two bleeding hearts to go along with this and they can get what
00:01:27.000 they want to do here. Parliamentary style. Humberto. This could pass. You know, like that's the thing.
00:01:34.840 Like you see, you have all the noise on the street and she's taking whatever is happening on the street
00:01:39.620 into the Senate. You know what I mean? And this is a dangerous thing. This one real changes happen
00:01:45.260 and they're all working together. You have the media working together. You have the guys in the street
00:01:49.180 working together. And this is taking the action in the street to something tangible that could pass
00:01:54.360 with the midterms coming around. You know who comes up for the midterms and most radical from
00:01:58.580 both sides, the most radical Republicans, the most radical Democrats. This this will open up.
00:02:03.240 This will open up new votes. And and it's scary. And we should be paying attention to this,
00:02:08.180 actually. Rob, what is this government shutdown on Saturday? Yeah, there's a calci on if the government's
00:02:12.760 going to shut down. I believe the deadline is midnight Friday night, which means the shutdown will
00:02:17.800 start Saturday morning. This Friday night, this Friday night. And look how much money's in there.
00:02:22.480 Nine percent. Eight million dollars already, Rob. Yes, sir. Are you like, come on, like
00:02:28.000 that's what they want and they're going to get it. Eighty percent. Eighty percent. What's the date when
00:02:35.300 it spikes? Can you go to the date of the spike? Oh, keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.
00:02:39.740 Boom. Right. They're 24th. So it went from it went from what to what, Rob? Went from 11.5 percent
00:02:46.260 chance on Saturday up to 75 percent chance. Oh, my God. That's when Alex, that's when Alex,
00:02:52.900 that's when the nurse was shot. Yes. Oh, weird. Weird. Yeah. Overnight. It goes up. You got to be
00:02:58.860 64 percent overnight. Government shutdown. And by the way, so, you know, you can't let a crisis go to
00:03:05.400 ways. Here's what Newsom is talking about. Gavin Newsom launches vicious attack on president over
00:03:10.680 death of armed anti-ICE protesters. Trump made a shooting happen. Rob, do you have that clip of
00:03:17.120 what he said yesterday? Hundreds of thousands of thousands filled the streets of Minnesota,
00:03:20.900 marching in subzero temperatures in a peaceful protest, not the excuse to invoke the Insurrection
00:03:25.880 Act. The president wanted. So today, Trump made a shooting happen. The president must end this
00:03:30.840 violent occupation of Minnesota. Now, Rob, do you have the clips of them protesting in the streets
00:03:37.820 with tens of thousands of people? Vinny, what do you what do you see? What do you think about when
00:03:42.140 you're seeing Newsom saying what he's saying? Well, he of all people, I think I mentioned a
00:03:46.360 little bit earlier. He's the front runner. He's the guy. Kelsey has him on that polling as he's the
00:03:51.900 number one guy. There's only there's only one reason he was the only governor to get flown to Davos to
00:03:58.160 go there and do his presidential, you know, run, even though they didn't give him the real talk.
00:04:01.740 But he had the interview. This guy, California, is the exact example of what they want and how
00:04:10.060 they want it to keep going. OK, open the border, keep giving them all this, all the all the free
00:04:14.880 stuff, and they're going to keep coming in. He's the epitome. He's the epitome of what's happening.
00:04:18.980 And for all the stuff that's happening in his country, in his state, all the crime, I don't want to
00:04:23.900 keep saying the R word, all the theft, all the homelessness, all the everything. He's their
00:04:28.480 guy. And if we're going to keep going on, Bertil, like you're talking about on emotion and everything
00:04:31.860 and all the white liberal women who are the ones that are going to be voting that actually change
00:04:35.020 the vote. It's it. Don't forget, angry. Yeah, very angry. This is the protesting. This is it.
00:04:41.220 I'm looking to verify the date on this, but it seems to be January 23rd. Yeah, January 23rd.
00:04:46.460 So before. So go to the chat to see if Grok verified it already. It did right here. It did. OK,
00:04:51.860 can we see it, Rob? Can you just play it to see what it looks like?
00:05:09.860 At least get somebody that knows how to rhyme a lyric. Oh, he's horrible. He's horrible. Here's my
00:05:19.200 question for you. Besides the midterms, I think the midterms, the Democrats are gonna take the
00:05:23.000 midterms. Do you think this, this event, this moment in time is going to last till 2028 of this
00:05:30.860 momentum to that's going to hurt a Rubio or a J.D. Vance because they're going to be the front
00:05:35.040 runners? That's that's the real question to me, because I believe I want I'm 1000 percent. I don't
00:05:40.780 say the future looks bright just because it's a cool. No, I truly believe it. Besides me being a
00:05:45.080 Christian, because I know that's people like us and people like, you know, those stronger
00:05:49.140 Republicans that are stepping up and speaking out. Do you think this is what what is going
00:05:54.060 to be their thing? They can't ride this wave for another three years. Rene Good, Alex
00:05:59.140 Freddie. What is it? No, but remember the 13 rules for radicals, Rob, if you go back to
00:06:03.420 it, they specifically say you have to move on if it gets stale. Got you. So remember one
00:06:10.100 of the rules? I thought it was number six. Rob, go up a little bit. Zoom in. It's hard to
00:06:15.720 encounter. Oh, right there. Number seven. Right there. Go. Go. Which one is it? Seven. A tactic
00:06:19.920 that drags on too long becomes a drag. So they they will move on quick to the next thing. They
00:06:25.260 can't. This is their this is their midterm thing. And the Cal Street thing just showed us this is
00:06:30.200 their midterm thing. Vinny, this didn't start. This is like phase four. Like, remember L.A. two
00:06:36.180 months ago, like the riots and everything. Yeah, but we forgot about it. Then it died
00:06:40.340 down a little bit. And now it's Minnesota. Yeah. And then they just need to change the
00:06:44.380 city, change the victim and then move on and do it again and do it again and do it
00:06:48.340 again. Yeah. So, by the way, last clip here. And I want to go to Jennings. Can you play
00:06:52.980 the clip by Zoran Mamdani, Rob, on saying what happened in here is inhumane and pledges to
00:07:00.140 fight them in New York City? Go ahead.
00:07:01.940 You have been horrified, as many people have, by what's been happening with ICE in Minneapolis.
00:07:08.800 Do you worry that Donald Trump would try to do something similar here in New York City?
00:07:13.300 And if he does, what do you do about it? Here we go. I think just to first take a moment
00:07:17.000 about Minneapolis, it is horrific what we have seen there. And I think that there are too
00:07:23.560 many Americans who are being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe their own
00:07:29.380 ears, not believe their own realities. And people want to hear the truth. They want to see the
00:07:34.560 truth. And that's why I described that as a murder, because there's no other way to watch that video
00:07:39.780 and come to a different conclusion. And we know that the fear that so many are living with
00:07:45.460 in Minneapolis. It's a fear that New Yorkers are also living with, a fear of being terrorized.
00:07:51.180 And I will do everything in my power to ensure that we do not see that take place in New York City.
00:07:58.200 And I've also said clearly to the president that these ICE raids, they are cruel.
00:08:02.100 They are inhumane. They do nothing to serve the interests of public safety.
00:08:05.600 You can pause it right there. By the way, this was made a few days before the shooting. So this is not
00:08:10.580 post. This is before. And one of the announcements that Mamdani made, Rob, if you want to pull this
00:08:16.080 up, Mamdani made an announcement that New York City will be offering free child care to illegal
00:08:25.060 immigrants. Okay. So Mamdani made this clip and this went viral just probably three, four days ago
00:08:30.320 when it went viral. If you want to play this clip, go for it, Rob.
00:08:32.440 These are programs for every single New Yorker. These are not programs that are going to ask the
00:08:40.580 immigration status of any one of the children. All of those children are New Yorkers. They should
00:08:46.020 all be enrolled in pre-K and 3K no matter where they were born or where they come from. And we are
00:08:52.600 also proud to be a free child care for illegal immigrant families. They are New Yorkers. Yes.
00:09:00.880 From a New Yorker. I hope if even one New Yorker listened to this, do you understand what he's
00:09:07.720 saying? He's saying, bring your illegal kid because who's attached to the illegal kid? The illegal
00:09:13.600 father, the illegal mother, get here. We will not only protect you and let you hopefully vote and do
00:09:20.200 everything. The New York taxpayer is going to pay for it all. So as a New Yorker, what the hell are you
00:09:28.000 doing? I, Pat, it boggles my mind. I can't, when you see that video as a New Yorker, what are you
00:09:34.880 doing? The real deal New Yorkers that are busting their butts every day going to work in the snow
00:09:40.200 with the drama, with the crime. And you're fine with that? I don't understand all the young boomer,
00:09:45.520 whatever, whoever the hell's voting. You're stupid. You're uneducated. You're uninformed. That is a
00:09:51.600 freaking, that's saying, hey, just trust me. I don't give a damn about Trump. I don't care about
00:09:56.980 the federal government. You come here. They're going to, we're going to pay for you. We're going
00:10:01.620 to pay for your kid. Where, Tom, am I losing my mind? No, you're not. And so it's all the things
00:10:06.820 that he campaigned on. You have to look at the, what's needed right now. What's needed right now
00:10:10.540 is emotional triggers. And when he came out and people found out behind the curtain that,
00:10:15.680 oh, buses were going to be free or, you know, cut in half on price, not the subway. And people are
00:10:21.500 saying, why isn't the subway free? Why aren't we doing this? Oh, he had to explain his way around that.
00:10:25.360 Right. And he doesn't have budget to keep the subway going unless they keep collecting fares
00:10:29.580 and the new subway, uh, turnstiles where we're being, uh, failed. If you just hung a hoodie on
00:10:35.440 one thing and then the thing popped open and all your friends walk through, grab your hoodie and go.
00:10:39.340 So he doesn't have an emotional thing. Children, childcare. Now it's an emotional issue where he is
00:10:46.740 a benevolent dictator bringing emotion to the fore to be giving something for free because give it to
00:10:53.920 them for free, win their vote. That's the playbook. This is on brand and on time, giving the backdrop
00:10:59.800 of what's happening elsewhere. We need to pass a law. Like the word free doesn't exist. It's
00:11:05.460 taxpayer funded. All right. That nothing is free. Like not, not the buses, not the childcare,
00:11:12.140 no nothing. Like I think we should pass a law in Congress and Senate to like, like every government
00:11:17.180 official that uses the word free, it needs to be changed to taxpayer. Cause like, it's very
00:11:21.940 different. Cause like, I don't know, like, uh, here in the Miami area, you have the, the, the STD
00:11:26.840 testing ones. Have you seen them around the street? And it says free testing and it's actually us
00:11:31.860 paying for the testing. You know, it's us paying for the childcare. It's us paying for the buses.
00:11:35.880 Free condoms. Free. No, nothing is free. Free doesn't exist from the government.
00:11:39.140 Can you imagine like of all the things to upset you? Free STD testing is what's upsetting
00:11:44.580 Humberto. Like honestly, pay it, pay it yourself. I wouldn't get into it, but there's, there's
00:11:50.180 moral reasons why you'd upset me. No, no, I get that because you don't get the pleasure.
00:11:54.260 So why are you paying for somebody else's pleasure? I get it. So they should all die of syphilis
00:11:59.960 in jail like Al Capone. Humberto is very, very interesting angle. But free, free is not,
00:12:04.920 it's never free. You're right. It's such, it's, it's one of the, it's a curse word, right?
00:12:08.880 It's a manipulative word. It's the worst four letter F word we have, right? If you think
00:12:13.560 about it, that it is the easiest way to manipulate people. America's turning 250 this year. And
00:12:19.320 by the way, we're doing something special on the 250th, 4th of July. Stay tuned. I'll

00:12:49.400 this year with all the chaos that's happened. And when we break down to you, what is really
00:12:53.240 going on or make sense to you. But having said that, Rob, go ahead and play this clip.

00:13:50.100 for the clips, you can find the items that people buy on eBay. That's that'll be the only place you'll
00:13:55.380 be able to get it. The hat will not last a long time. Again, it's limited merch. So it's numbered
00:14:00.360 out of 250. If you go to eBay afterwards, you may find it because these things are not going to last
00:14:04.900 but 30 minutes. They'll be gone in no time. Every time we do limited merch, it comes the hat comes in
00:14:10.180 a box that says future looks bright and the logo VT right on there. So go to vtmerch.com place your
00:14:18.280 order. Go to vtmerch.com, Rob. If you could just go to the website, if you go to vtmerch.com on the
00:14:22.920 cover, you'll see the 250. Get the sweater because it's cold. Get the shirt and get the hat. And if
00:14:28.580 not for you, buy it for somebody else as well. Having said that shield, that shield is just amazing. It is
