  We've got Rob Eno coming up
• 0:15
  with his reaction to the biggest media
• 0:17
  fails in Minnesota.
• 0:18
  There has been some crazy drama between Josh Shapiro and Kamala Harris.
• 0:22
  That's going to be fun.
• 0:23
  We'll look at that.
• 0:24
  But we start by doing something that you may have thought was impossible.
• 0:27
  Yes,
• 0:27
  it's possible we're doing Don Lemon's
• 0:30
  new low.
• 0:31
  Yes,
• 0:31
  he's hit a new one.
• 0:32
  And you might have thought,
• 0:33
  well,
• 0:33
  wait a minute,
• 0:33
  wasn't he already
• 0:34
  the lowest form of humanity,
• 0:36
  uh,
• 0:36
  that's available?
• 0:37
  And that's pretty much true.
• 0:39
  Uh,
• 0:39
  but if he,
• 0:40
  uh,
• 0:40
  he's hitting a new one today.
• 0:41
  If you remember,
• 0:42
  Don Lemon,
• 0:43
  uh,
• 0:43
  a little history lesson here,
• 0:45
  used to be on CNN.
• 0:47
  He then was,
• 0:47
  uh,
• 0:48
  he got fired for basically telling women that they peak at 25 or something.
• 0:51
  I don't know,
• 0:52
  very strange segment.
• 0:53
  Uh,
• 0:54
  and I don't know how we would know anything about them,
• 0:55
  frankly.
• 0:56
  Uh,
• 0:57
  apparently he doesn't.
• 0:58
  Uh,
• 0:58
  and so he got fired from that job.
• 1:00
  He then went to Twitter for like a week,
• 1:03
  and then,
• 1:04
  uh,
• 1:04
  Elon Musk was like,
• 1:05
  I'm not giving you anything,
• 1:06
  you're,
• 1:06
  you're a disaster.
• 1:07
  At least that's how I remember it.
• 1:09
  And now he's kind of just like walking around with his phone.
• 1:11
  That's kind of the way this has,
• 1:12
  uh,
• 1:12
  ended for,
• 1:13
  for,
• 1:14
  uh,
• 1:15
  Don.
• 1:15
  And look,
• 1:15
  there's some really good journalism that gets done,
• 1:17
  uh,
• 1:17
  that way these days.
• 1:18
  This is not the old-timey days where you can't get anything accomplished.
• 1:22
  Uh,
• 1:22
  and I will say Don
• 1:24
  did manage to get himself in the papers today,
• 1:26
  so.
• 1:27
  We got that going on for you.
• 1:28
  Anti-ICE mob storms Minnesota church
• 1:30
  over pastors alleged ties to immigration enforcement.
• 1:34
  Very strange allegation,
• 1:36
  uh,
• 1:36
  very strange situation.
• 1:37
  Here is Don Lemon
• 1:39
  following,
• 1:39
  uh,
• 1:40
  some of these ICE
• 1:41
  protesters,
• 1:42
  anti-ICE protesters,
• 1:43
  uh,
• 1:44
  into
• 1:45
  an actual house of worship.
• 1:47
  Tell us why you're doing this.
• 1:48
  This is Operation Pull up,
• 1:49
  more of a clandestine operation.
• 1:51
  We show up somewhere that is a key location.
• 1:55
  They don't expect us to come there
• 1:57
  and then we
• 1:58
  disrupt business as usual.
• 1:59
  So that's what we're about to go do right now.
• 2:10
  Demanding justice for Renee Good and letting them know.
• 2:15
  will not stand.
• 2:16
  They cannot pretend to be a house of God.
• 2:19
  Harboring someone
• 2:21
  is directing ICE agents
• 2:24
  Our community and who killed Renee.
• 2:29
  You'd be surprised to know none of that's accurate,
• 2:32
  uh,
• 2:32
  but it was interesting to see Don
• 2:34
  before this whole situation began interviewing the
• 2:37
  people and finding out all about their
• 2:39
  plans,
• 2:40
  uh,
• 2:40
  but I mean it's an interesting one.
• 2:42
  Here is,
• 2:42
  uh,
• 2:42
  Don,
• 2:43
  uh,
• 2:43
  narrating a little of his own video here as they covered.
• 2:48
  The protests.
• 2:51
  So you can see the protesters here have gathered over here.
• 2:56
  They're in the middle of the church
• 2:58
  during the beginning of the church service,
• 2:59
  the pastor was speaking
• 3:01
  and
• 3:04
  stood up and said her piece
• 3:06
  and then the protesters surrounded her,
• 3:07
  but this is a clandestine mission.
• 3:09
  I think they found out one of,
• 3:11
  according to them,
• 3:12
  this is according to
• 3:14
  Operation Pull Up,
• 3:15
  that one of the pastors here is
• 3:18
  a member
• 3:19
  of ICS and so.
• 3:21
  Here we go.
• 3:22
  He's a fucking.
• 3:24
  Yeah,
• 3:25
  let me show you
• 3:26
  OK.
• 3:27
  And
• 3:28
  so,
• 3:29
  Is Don using those stupid glasses to do that?
• 3:31
  Is that where he's getting that video?
• 3:33
  Any opinion on that?
• 3:35
  Any thoughts?
• 3:36
  Is that what he's doing?
• 3:37
  It looked like it.
• 3:38
  It looked like,
• 3:38
  yeah,
• 3:38
  it looked like because the way the cameras moving,
• 3:40
  I just pictured Don with the stupid meta glasses walking around taking video.
• 3:44
  I don't know,
• 3:44
  just seems really goofy.
• 3:45
  By the way,
• 3:46
  a weird accusation,
• 3:47
  right,
• 3:47
  that a pastor at the church
• 3:49
  is running a,
• 3:51
  a part of ICE,
• 3:53
  a local chapter of ICE.
• 3:54
  I don't seem to know whether that's actually accurate or not.
• 3:57
  I've seen reporting on kind of.
• 3:59
  No one seems to be sure.
• 4:00
  In fact,
• 4:01
  we asked uh Harmeet Dillon today on the radio show,
• 4:04
  hey,
• 4:04
  is this,
• 4:04
  was there a guy that was involved with
• 4:06
  ICE?
• 4:07
  She said she had no information on it.
• 4:08
  They don't,
• 4:09
  they don't know,
• 4:09
  they're investigating it.
• 4:10
  What was fascinating about that is,
• 4:11
  first of all,
• 4:12
  you might know
• 4:13
  that even if he happens to be working for the federal government in some capacity,
• 4:17
  that does not make it OK to go and uh ransack his church or interrupt a service.
• 4:22
  That's not OK anyway,
• 4:23
  even if you're right.
• 4:25
  Uh,
• 4:25
  also,
• 4:25
  the guy wasn't even there,
• 4:26
  wasn't even that they were trying to target in this clandestine opportunity,
• 4:31
  uh,
• 4:32
  operation that they're,
• 4:32
  you know,
• 4:33
  performing on live streaming video.
• 4:35
  Um,
• 4:36
  and,
• 4:36
  uh,
• 4:36
  so we don't even know if it's true,
• 4:38
  but he wasn't even there,
• 4:39
  even if it was true.
• 4:40
  So we had a typical,
• 4:42
  the,
• 4:42
  the factual basis on these things,
• 4:43
  not always a strong suit.
• 4:45
  Uh,
• 4:45
  let me give you one more,
• 4:46
  uh,
• 4:46
  clip of what happened inside the church.
• 4:48
  Here they are chanting for Renee Good.
• 4:51
  Sorry.
• 4:52
  Yes.
• 4:55
  Justice for.
• 5:02
  you.
• 5:05
  We
• 5:05
  need.
• 5:08
  OK,
• 5:09
  uh,
• 5:09
  there is a bunch of morons.
• 5:10
  I,
• 5:10
  I guess it's what I'm,
• 5:11
  what I was showing you there with all the video.
• 5:13
  This is idiotic.
• 5:14
  Um,
• 5:15
  you might
• 5:15
  be interested to hear,
• 5:17
  and we'll get into Don Lemon's views on this,
• 5:19
  uh,
• 5:19
  particular moment in a little bit,
• 5:21
  but.
• 5:21
  Uh,
• 5:22
  you are not actually able to do what they did.
• 5:25
  Uh,
• 5:25
  I mean,
• 5:25
  you can physically do it as they,
• 5:27
  as they,
• 5:27
  I guess,
• 5:28
  accomplished,
• 5:28
  but you can't legally do
• 5:30
  what they did.
• 5:30
  We have a very strong tradition,
• 5:32
  of course,
• 5:32
  in this country,
• 5:33
  of the right to protest.
• 5:34
  That is something that is fundamentally ingrained in our society
• 5:37
  and something that's very important for us to protect.
• 5:39
  That being said,
• 5:40
  we also have one
• 5:41
  that,
• 5:41
  uh,
• 5:42
  you know,
• 5:42
  uh,
• 5:43
  gives you freedom to exercise your religion and to worship.
• 5:47
  And
• 5:48
  the problem
• 5:49
  with all of this,
• 5:50
  of course,
• 5:51
  is you went in there with your loud chanting.
• 5:54
  And stopped people from their ability
• 5:57
  to execute their First Amendment
• 5:59
  right
• 6:01
  for a right to be able to go to church services and be able to worship as you please.
• 6:06
  That's very,
• 6:07
  very important as well.
• 6:08
  Those things bump into each other and
• 6:10
  the law is very clear on which side wins when those two do bump into each other.
• 6:14
  DOJ vowing to press charges after activists disrupt church.
• 6:18
  Where Minnesota ICE officer is a,
• 6:19
  uh,
• 6:20
  uh,
• 6:20
  uh,
• 6:20
  Minnesota ICE official is a
• 6:22
  pastor.
• 6:23
  Again,
• 6:24
  uh,
• 6:24
  still some disagreement on that,
• 6:26
  but they're reporting,
• 6:27
  uh,
• 6:27
  ABC News is reporting,
• 6:28
  uh,
• 6:28
  he protested,
• 6:29
  uh,
• 6:29
  this is,
• 6:30
  uh,
• 6:30
  Nima,
• 6:31
  uh,
• 6:32
  Nakima
• 6:32
  Levy Armstrong.
• 6:33
  She's one of the heads of the anti-ICE protest part of this.
• 6:36
  She participated in the protest,
• 6:38
  um,
• 6:38
  and leads the local grassroots civil rights.
• 6:41
  Organization Racial Justice Network
• 6:44
  dismissed the potential DOJ investigation as a sham
• 6:46
  and a distraction
• 6:47
  from federal agents' actions in Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
• 6:50
  When you think about the federal government
• 6:51
  unleashing barbaric ICE agents upon our community
• 6:55
  and all the harm that they have caused,
• 6:57
  to have someone serving as a pastor who oversees these ICE agents
• 7:00
  is almost unfathomable to me,
• 7:02
  said Armstrong,
• 7:03
  who added she's an ordained reverend.
• 7:07
  Obviously,
• 7:07
  obviously.
• 7:08
  Oh,
• 7:08
  by the way,
• 7:09
  um,
• 7:09
  uh,
• 7:09
  Reverend,
• 7:10
  you might be interested to note
• 7:12
  that we don't care
• 7:13
  what your opinion is on this particular topic.
• 7:16
  The law doesn't care either.
• 7:17
  The law does not care if you think you should be a pastor
• 7:20
  and be a head,
• 7:21
  the head of ICE,
• 7:22
  the president of ICE,
• 7:22
  the king of ICE.
• 7:24
  None of that matters at all to the law.
• 7:26
  And I think you're about to find that out.
• 7:27
  Now here,
• 7:28
  uh,
• 7:28
  she is uh posting this particular clip.
• 7:32
  This is a,
• 7:32
  uh,
• 7:32
  post,
• 7:32
  I think on,
• 7:33
  is it Facebook?
• 7:35
  Friends,
• 7:36
  here's a clip
• 7:36
  of our demonstration this morning at City's Church in Saint Paul.
• 7:40
  David Easterwood is a pastor at this church and the
• 7:42
  acting field director for the ICE office in Saint Paul.
• 7:45
  It's time for judgment to begin,
• 7:47
  and it will begin in the house of God.
• 7:50
  Thank you to all the activists who showed up and independent journalists,
• 7:54
  Georgia Fort,
• 7:55
  Don Lemon,
• 7:57
  Dawoke Farmer 2.
• 7:59
  Now you should be,
• 8:00
  you should be aware that Da woke Farmer 1 was taken.
• 8:03
  Uh,
• 8:04
  so,
• 8:05
  Dawoke Farmer 2 and Brixton Hughes.
• 8:08
  Special thanks to Monique Colors Doty.
• 8:11
  Uh,
• 8:12
  Chantil Allen,
• 8:13
  Satara Strong Allen for co-organizing this
• 8:17
  mission from Black Lives Matter Minnesota,
• 8:20
  Black Lives Matter Twin Cities Metro,
• 8:23
  along with Racial Justice Network.
• 8:25
  They couldn't keep those.
• 8:26
  There's one,
• 8:27
  that was Minnesota.
• 8:28
  They didn't,
• 8:28
  it was just so packed they had to have a separate,
• 8:31
  uh,
• 8:31
  Twin Cities Metro version of Black Lives Matter
• 8:34
  so they could get more vacation homes.
• 8:36
  You gotta make sure,
• 8:37
  look,
• 8:38
  and to be fair,
• 8:39
  they're in Minnesota,
• 8:40
  they wanna go on vacation a lot.
• 8:42
  Perhaps it is the right thing to do,
• 8:44
  to just give them some,
• 8:46
  uh,
• 8:46
  beachside property somewhere,
• 8:48
  because it's freaking cold there.
• 8:49
  Anyway,
• 8:49
  uh,
• 8:50
  what's interesting about this is what,
• 8:51
  uh,
• 8:51
  because I noticed this right away,
• 8:52
  I was like,
• 8:52
  this seems like a bad idea if you happen to be this person.
• 8:55
  And,
• 8:56
  uh,
• 8:56
  Banee over at Red State said the same thing.
• 8:58
  Uh,
• 8:59
  she just posted everyone involved,
• 9:01
  uh,
• 9:01
  and then pinned it to her profile.
• 9:04
  Incredible,
• 9:04
  which it kind of is because
• 9:06
  what's happened there is a crime.
• 9:08
  So normally you don't necessarily post
• 9:12
  everybody
• 9:13
  involved in the crime,
• 9:14
  but apparently that was OK.
• 9:16
  Attorney General Pam Bondi,
• 9:18
  uh,
• 9:18
  decided to tweet on this.
• 9:19
  I just spoke to a pastor of Minnesota whose church was targeted.
• 9:22
  Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation.
• 9:24
  Christians are being met with the full force of federal law.
• 9:27
  State leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness.
• 9:30
  The Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes
• 9:34
  and ensure that the rule of law prevails.
• 9:36
  Now I did,
• 9:36
  we did speak to Harvey Dillon earlier today on the radio show,
• 9:39
  as I mentioned,
• 9:40
  she
• 9:42
  indicated they were going to go forward
• 9:44
  with going after these people.
• 9:46
  There's a big,
• 9:46
  you know,
• 9:47
  look,
• 9:47
  there's a lot of.
• 9:49
  Unease
• 9:50
  about Pam Bondi's ability to to follow up
• 9:54
  on things like this.
• 9:56
  I know I get a lot of complaints.
• 9:57
  I talk to people a lot and they just don't
• 9:59
  like the fact that these arrests haven't already occurred,
• 10:02
  uh,
• 10:02
  not,
• 10:02
  not necessarily in this case,
• 10:03
  but previous cases,
• 10:04
  and they're worried about the,
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  arrests in this case occurring because they don't
• 10:09
  view this particular DOJ as following up
• 10:13
  as much as they should on this sort of stuff.
• 10:16
  I don't know.
• 10:16
  I mean,
• 10:16
  it's certainly a motivating factor,
• 10:18
  I think,
• 10:18
  to the president.
• 10:19
  Um,
• 10:20
  and we will see if this,
• 10:21
  uh,
• 10:22
  continues to go on.
• 10:23
  I do think though that,
• 10:24
  you know,
• 10:24
  the Tim Wall's idea of,
• 10:26
  well,
• 10:26
  since I'm not involved in this anymore,
• 10:28
  I'm dropping out of the race,
• 10:28
  they're going to give up.
• 10:29
  I don't think that's what conservatives are doing right now with the the story.
• 10:32
  I'm talking about the corruption.
• 10:33
  I'm talking about what's going on in Minneapolis,
• 10:35
  the targeting of ICE agents.
• 10:36
  This is an animating factor for,
• 10:38
  uh,
• 10:39
  voters on the right right now,
• 10:40
  and I don't think they're going to give up on it.
• 10:42
  We will see if the DOJ is able to
• 10:45
  kind of go a little bit farther.
• 10:46
  Career activists who disrupted Minneapolis Worship Church,
• 10:49
  a service also targeted Hegseth DC church.
• 10:51
  So not the first time.
• 10:53
  William Kelly,
• 10:53
  a self-described combat veteran,
• 10:55
  was captured on video storming into the sanctuary with a mob of
• 10:58
  other activists associated with Black Lives
• 11:00
  Matter and the Racial Justice Network.
• 11:02
  The demonstrators chant chanted.
• 11:04
  This is unbelievable.
• 11:05
  Hands up,
• 11:05
  don't shoot,
• 11:06
  and screamed at congregants,
• 11:07
  leaving them fake Christians because one of the church's
• 11:09
  pastors also serves as an ICE field director.
• 11:13
  Do you believe they're still chanting hands up,
• 11:14
  don't shoot?
• 11:15
  This is something that was debunked years and years and years ago.
• 11:18
  It was supposed,
• 11:19
  what was it Michael Brown?
• 11:20
  I can't even remember what case this was.
• 11:22
  And uh supposedly uh it was rumored for a long time that he said hands up,
• 11:26
  don't shoot,
• 11:27
  and then got shot,
• 11:28
  and that wound up becoming a rallying cry
• 11:30
  for many on the left,
• 11:31
  who would go into various
• 11:33
  situations against law enforcement who had no
• 11:35
  desire or willingness or interest really in shooting them because they
• 11:38
  were
• 11:39
  largely boring.
• 11:40
  Um,
• 11:41
  they,
• 11:42
  they just kept saying hands up,
• 11:43
  don't shoot.
• 11:44
  Uh,
• 11:44
  we then of course found out that Michael Brown said nothing like that.
• 11:47
  Uh,
• 11:47
  actually,
• 11:48
  the story was completely wrong and he actually had all sorts of,
• 11:50
  there was reasons why that incident occurred
• 11:53
  that were quite clear,
• 11:54
  including assault and theft.
• 11:56
  A whole different situation though,
• 11:58
  but continue to just.
• 12:00
  Just kind of spouted out there.
• 12:01
  Hands up,
• 12:02
  don't shoot over and over and over again.
• 12:03
  Now Don Lemon,
• 12:04
  back to our Don Lemon storyline here.
• 12:06
  He's defending protesters who stormed Minneapolis church,
• 12:08
  uh,
• 12:09
  service believing that pastor was ICE affiliated.
• 12:11
  The former CNN host
• 12:13
  defended the disruption of the service by anti-Rice rioters,
• 12:16
  claiming they were acting in a manner,
• 12:18
  manner similar to civil rights protesters.
• 12:21
  This is the beginning of.
• 12:22
  What's going to happen here
• 12:23
  when you violate people's due process,
• 12:25
  when you pull people off the street,
• 12:27
  you start dragging them and hurting them and not abiding by the Constitution,
• 12:30
  you start doing all that and people get upset and angry,
• 12:33
  Lemon said,
• 12:34
  seemingly justifying it the whole way.
• 12:36
  Remember what the civil rights movement was about.
• 12:38
  Civil rights movement was about these very kinds of protests.
• 12:41
  Not at all,
• 12:42
  just to be clear,
• 12:43
  they were not at all,
• 12:45
  uh,
• 12:45
  like this.
• 12:47
  Not at all.
• 12:49
  Uh,
• 12:49
  what was happening in that situation was,
• 12:51
  was completely unjust.
• 12:52
  This is not a situation like that
• 12:54
  at all.
• 12:55
  You know,
• 12:56
  back in the day,
• 12:56
  there were times where the United States was very
• 12:58
  much letting itself down on its own standards,
• 13:01
  standards like the idea that all men were created equal,
• 13:04
  um,
• 13:05
  and not treating that as a legitimate part of our country,
• 13:08
  really part of our foundation.
• 13:10
  That's not the situation here.
• 13:12
  We're talking about people,
• 13:13
  in many cases,
• 13:13
  as we went over,
• 13:14
  I think it was last week,
• 13:16
  child molesters,
• 13:17
  murderers,
• 13:19
  people who are wanted for multiple instances of homicide.
• 13:23
  And we've got idiotic morons like Don Lemon thinking
• 13:26
  that's the same as the civil rights situ situation.
• 13:28
  It's not
• 13:29
  at all.
• 13:30
  These are not
• 13:31
  one thing,
• 13:31
  one of these things is not like the other.
• 13:34
  And again,
• 13:34
  you see Don's opinion here,
• 13:36
  right?
• 13:37
  When you do these things,
• 13:38
  well,
• 13:38
  of course this is going to happen.
• 13:39
  When you're mean to the people that I like.
• 13:43
  Well,
• 13:43
  of course we're gonna go and disrupt
• 13:45
  these church services.
• 13:47
  Again,
• 13:47
  probably gonna get Don in at least some trouble,
• 13:50
  some possibilities of trouble.
• 13:51
  I don't know if Don's gonna get in trouble for this one,
• 13:53
  but here he is,
• 13:54
  uh,
• 13:54
  one more time,
• 13:55
  talking to,
• 13:56
  uh,
• 13:56
  this pastor who was harassed
• 13:58
  at his own church,
• 13:59
  who is the victim of a crime,
• 14:02
  along with everybody else inside of that,
• 14:04
  uh,
• 14:04
  uh,
• 14:05
  uh,
• 14:05
  auditorium or uh church.
• 14:07
  Well,
• 14:07
  we'll talk about why that's a crime here in just a second,
• 14:10
  but here is Don.
• 14:11
  With his,
• 14:11
  I mean,
• 14:12
  you know,
• 14:12
  look,
• 14:12
  Don,
• 14:13
  Don Lemon's a moron.
• 14:14
  OK.
• 14:14
  We've known this for a very long time.
• 14:15
  Don Lemon's an idiot.
• 14:17
  But Don Lemon also,
• 14:18
  uh,
• 14:19
  thinks he knows something about not only civil rights,
• 14:22
  but also
• 14:23
  apparently the First Amendment,
• 14:24
  which he knows nothing about.
• 14:25
  Uh,
• 14:26
  here he is blabbering about it.
• 14:28
  What do you think of this?
• 14:29
  This is unacceptable.
• 14:30
  It's shameful.
• 14:31
  It's shameful.
• 14:33
  To interrupt
• 14:35
  gathering of Christians in worship.
• 14:39
  There were folks who say I have to take care of my flock.
• 14:42
  Listen,
• 14:43
  we live in,
• 14:43
  there's a Constitution and the First Amendment to freedom
• 14:46
  of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.
• 14:47
  What else is there?
• 14:48
  We're here to worship.
• 14:49
  We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities.
• 14:52
  That's the hope of the world.
• 14:53
  Jesus Christ,
• 14:54
  I want to be very respectful.
• 14:55
  Please don't push me though.
• 14:56
  We're here.
• 14:57
  We're here to worship Jesus.
• 14:59
  That's why we're here.
• 15:01
  That's why we're here.
• 15:02
  That's what we're about.
• 15:03
  Don't you think Jesus would be understanding and
• 15:07
  we're about Jesus be understanding to try to talk to them as a one is willing to talk.
• 15:13
  To take care of my church and my family,
• 15:14
  so I ask that you actually
• 15:16
  would also leave this building.
• 15:17
  You don't want us to chronicle whatever you're here to worship.
• 15:20
  I'm always worship.
• 15:21
  I'm a Christian.
• 15:21
  We're here to,
• 15:22
  well,
• 15:22
  we're here to worship.
• 15:22
  We're here to worship.
• 15:23
  OK,
• 15:24
  thank you very much.
• 15:24
  I appreciate it.
• 15:25
  You can just almost sense the deep Christianity of Don Lemon in that moment,
• 15:28
  can't you?
• 15:29
  I mean,
• 15:29
  it's almost overwhelming.
• 15:30
  The spirit just
• 15:32
  jumping through your phone or your computer or your TV.
• 15:36
  It's just the Don Lemon version of Christianity is a little overwhelming for some.
• 15:41
  I will say it's too bright.
• 15:42
  The lights of God,
• 15:44
  a little too bright through Don.
• 15:45
  I will say,
• 15:46
  um,
• 15:46
  Don,
• 15:47
  again,
• 15:47
  I mentioned this before,
• 15:48
  is an idiot,
• 15:49
  um,
• 15:50
  and that's a,
• 15:50
  that's a problem
• 15:51
  for his analysis on the First Amendment.
• 15:53
  The First Amendment does not,
• 15:54
  uh,
• 15:54
  very much not allow you to go into a church service and disrupt it,
• 15:58
  uh,
• 15:58
  and prevent people who are
• 16:00
  in the middle of executing their First Amendment rights.
• 16:03
  To be able to worship
• 16:06
  This is quite clear,
• 16:07
  it's very clear in the law.
• 16:09
  We'll go through that here in a second.
• 16:12
  But he should know,
• 16:13
  and as to whether Jesus would be understanding,
• 16:16
  I'm sure he'd be understanding.
• 16:18
  I mean,
• 16:18
  he's pretty aware of most situations.
• 16:20
  He's actually a well-informed individual,
• 16:22
  um,
• 16:23
  but I will say,
• 16:24
  uh,
• 16:24
  stopping people from worshiping God,
• 16:27
  not necessarily the thing I think Jesus is most excited about,
• 16:31
  let's say.
• 16:31
  I'm just,
• 16:32
  you know,
• 16:33
  just a theory.
• 16:34
  Again,
• 16:34
  I'm not,
• 16:34
  I'm not a theologian,
• 16:35
  but I am a thinker.
• 16:37
  Now,
• 16:38
  why is Don Lemon in trouble potentially for
• 16:41
  breaking the law?
• 16:42
  Certainly the people
• 16:43
  in
• 16:44
  the church that came and did this protest,
• 16:46
  why are they in trouble?
• 16:47
  Well,
• 16:48
  multiple reasons,
• 16:49
  but MAGA,
• 16:50
  they're saying MAGA calls for Don Lemon to be
• 16:52
  arrested under FCE Act after a Minnesota church protest.
• 16:55
  Don Lemon,
• 16:56
  independent broadcaster since his departure from CNN,
• 16:58
  departure,
• 16:58
  an interesting word.
• 17:00
  I mean,
• 17:00
  he did leave,
• 17:02
  so I mean it was a departure.
• 17:03
  He was interviewing the participants during a
• 17:05
  live stream before they entered the church.
• 17:07
  He then followed the group inside as they
• 17:08
  chanted IC out and accused the pastor of collaborating
• 17:11
  with the agency.
• 17:12
  Worshippers in attendance subsequently left in droves.
• 17:15
  One churchgoer saying,
• 17:17
  uh,
• 17:17
  these people have come into our house and they've interrupted our worship.
• 17:20
  Interesting wording there.
• 17:22
  Everybody's gone home.
• 17:23
  Their point has been proven worthless,
• 17:25
  and so in the end,
• 17:26
  I think they lose.
• 17:27
  I feel violated,
• 17:28
  I feel interrupted,
• 17:29
  I feel angry.
• 17:30
  Now,
• 17:30
  why is it important?
• 17:31
  To note
• 17:32
  that uh a house of worship being interrupted
• 17:35
  is key to all of this talk about potential arrests in the future.
• 17:40
  It's because of the FaceC Act.
• 17:42
  Now there are other laws that they're trying to push and we'll see what comes of that,
• 17:45
  but the Face Act is kind of central to this,
• 17:46
  and if you remember what the Face Act is,
• 17:48
  we've talked about it many times.
• 17:49
  Face Act was a,
• 17:50
  a law that was,
• 17:52
  I think you could say arguably well-intentioned,
• 17:54
  at least by some.
• 17:56
  Which we kind of all have interacted with,
• 17:59
  at least through the conservative media,
• 18:01
  through the eyes of
• 18:02
  people like Catholic protesters who have
• 18:04
  gone and stood outside of abortion clinics
• 18:07
  and said,
• 18:07
  hey,
• 18:07
  you know,
• 18:07
  we don't think you should abort your kids.
• 18:11
  That if there's any sort of,
• 18:14
  any sort of uh
• 18:16
  uh
• 18:17
  impediment to
• 18:19
  to having someone go into an abortion clinic,
• 18:21
  like if someone wants to go into an abortion clinic,
• 18:22
  a woman's going in there,
• 18:23
  you can talk to her,
• 18:24
  you can shout at her,
• 18:25
  you can say things to try to convince her to stop and and and make sure that,
• 18:29
  you know,
• 18:30
  her baby gets born.
• 18:31
  That being said,
• 18:32
  you can't physically stop them from doing that.
• 18:35
  You can't stop them from walking in.
• 18:36
  You can't block the way.
• 18:38
  You can't set up a barricade.
• 18:40
  You can't do any of those things.
• 18:40
  Now,
• 18:41
  as we know,
• 18:42
  leftist protests do this stuff all the time.
• 18:44
  In fact,
• 18:44
  they're doing it to federal agents
• 18:45
  all the time.
• 18:48
  Goode herself was blocking the roadway for ICE agents.
• 18:52
  That is something you're not allowed to do.
• 18:54
  However,
• 18:54
  the FACE Act specifically deals with it when it comes to
• 18:57
  abortion clinics and similar facilities.
• 19:00
  What we haven't talked a lot about is part two of the Face Act.
• 19:05
  Let me show you the exact text of the of the important segment here,
• 19:08
  and this is this is the exact text of the law,
• 19:11
  and we'll go through the first part.
• 19:12
  Prohibited activities.
• 19:14
  Whoever by force or threat of force
• 19:15
  or by physical obstruction intentionally injures,
• 19:18
  intimidates,
• 19:19
  or interferes
• 19:20
  with or attempts to injure,
• 19:22
  intimidate or interfere with any person.
• 19:24
  Because that person has been
• 19:26
  in uh or in order to intimidate such person or other person
• 19:30
  or any class of persons from obtaining or providing reproductive health services.
• 19:33
  So specifically talks about abortion clinics basically here.
• 19:37
  You can't impede them,
• 19:37
  you can't stop them,
• 19:38
  you can't physically get in the way,
• 19:40
  you can't do any of that stuff.
• 19:41
  You can't.
• 19:42
  Intimidate them.
• 19:43
  You can try to convince them.
• 19:44
  You could try to persuade them.
• 19:45
  You can say what you're doing is totally wrong.
• 19:47
  Don't do it.
• 19:47
  Don't do it,
• 19:47
  don't do it.
• 19:48
  But you can't physically do that and you can't threaten them,
• 19:51
  for example.
• 19:52
  You can't say,
• 19:52
  if you go in there and do that,
• 19:54
  I'm going to blow up your car.
• 19:55
  You can't do any of that stuff.
• 19:56
  OK,
• 19:57
  so that's the part we've talked about quite a bit.
• 20:00
  Part two.
• 20:00
  And why did this get through?
• 20:02
  Part of it was
• 20:03
  because of part two.
• 20:04
  Basically,
• 20:05
  the left said,
• 20:06
  Well,
• 20:06
  we want you to stop you from,
• 20:08
  you know,
• 20:08
  uh,
• 20:09
  stopping people from going to abortion clinics,
• 20:11
  and the right said,
• 20:11
  Well,
• 20:12
  fine,
• 20:12
  but like we want you to stop interrupting church services.
• 20:16
  OK,
• 20:16
  so here's the.
• 20:17
  Text of the part that's going to potentially burn a lot of these protesters,
• 20:21
  whoever this is prohibited,
• 20:23
  whoever by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction
• 20:26
  intentionally injures,
• 20:27
  intimidates or interferes
• 20:29
  with or attempts to injure,
• 20:31
  intimidate or interfere.
• 20:34
  With any person
• 20:36
  lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise
• 20:38
  the First Amendment right of religious freedom
• 20:41
  at a place
• 20:42
  of religious
• 20:43
  worship.
• 20:44
  There's a little bit more to the law,
• 20:45
  not necessarily germane here,
• 20:46
  but the bottom line
• 20:48
  is that if you do exactly what they did,
• 20:51
  you are committing a crime against every person inside the church,
• 20:54
  every person in there who is trying to worship.
• 20:56
  If you go in there and you say,
• 20:58
  hey,
• 20:58
  we're interrupting this,
• 20:59
  we're interfering
• 21:00
  with people's right
• 21:01
  and ability
• 21:02
  to worship.
• 21:04
  You are guilty of a face act violation,
• 21:06
  and we've seen this can be serious crimes.
• 21:09
  Uh,
• 21:10
  let's see,
• 21:10
  what else can I get to here before the end of this.
• 21:12
  Uh,
• 21:12
  let me go to,
• 21:13
  we don't have time for this next clip.
• 21:15
  I'll go to this one here.
• 21:16
  Don Lemon,
• 21:17
  uh,
• 21:17
  bites back
• 21:18
  at MAGA after anti-ice confrontation is the headline.
• 21:22
  And just so you know,
• 21:23
  boys and girls,
• 21:24
  Don Lemon,
• 21:25
  apparently a biter.
• 21:27
  I said that,
• 21:27
  now that might be some information you need,
• 21:30
  not important to me,
• 21:31
  but apparently a biter.
• 21:33
  The MAGA administration and the fake news MAGAs
• 21:36
  are losing their mind over something that's not even
• 21:39
  true.
• 21:40
  So let me just make it clear,
• 21:42
  because this
• 21:44
  an assistant attorney general.
• 21:45
  I don't know,
• 21:46
  um,
• 21:46
  gosh,
• 21:46
  what's her name?
• 21:47
  something
• 21:47
  Hammett
• 21:50
  or whatever.
• 21:51
  So um.
• 21:54
  I have no affiliation to that organization.
• 21:56
  I didn't even know they were going to this church until we followed them there.
• 21:59
  We were there
• 22:00
  chronicling
• 22:01
  protests.
• 22:02
  Once the protests started in the church,
• 22:05
  we did an act of journalism which was
• 22:07
  report on it and talk to the people who were involved,
• 22:10
  which included the pastor,
• 22:11
  members of the church.
• 22:12
  And members of the organization,
• 22:13
  that's it.
• 22:14
  It's called journalism.
• 22:16
  First Amendment,
• 22:18
  all that stuff
• 22:19
  for all of you people who believe in the First Amendment,
• 22:21
  absolutist,
• 22:23
  there you go.
• 22:24
  So why don't you talk to
• 22:26
  the actual person who
• 22:28
  is in charge of the organization
• 22:30
  and whose idea it was to have the protests
• 22:33
  at the church before you start blaming me for stuff
• 22:35
  for which you have no idea.
• 22:38
  Thank you for your attention to this man.
• 22:43
  Now,
• 22:43
  Don's obviously,
• 22:44
  did I mention he's an idiot?
• 22:45
  Uh,
• 22:46
  he is.
• 22:46
  Um,
• 22:47
  he thinks he's being very smart there.
• 22:48
  And first of all,
• 22:49
  of course,
• 22:49
  they are going to talk to the head of this organization,
• 22:51
  and that person is absolutely,
• 22:53
  um,
• 22:54
  in real trouble here.
• 22:56
  Is Don Lemon in trouble here?
• 22:58
  I,
• 22:58
  you know,
• 22:58
  the First Amendment does provide for a lot of protection for,
• 23:03
  uh,
• 23:03
  someone who
• 23:04
  says they're,
• 23:05
  you know,
• 23:05
  committing an act of journalism,
• 23:07
  as he put it.
• 23:08
  In,
• 23:09
  in one of these situations,
• 23:10
  I mean,
• 23:11
  you know,
• 23:11
  look,
• 23:12
  I think it's an important protection,
• 23:13
  frankly,
• 23:14
  we've talked about it before.
• 23:15
  Now the left does not think that.
• 23:17
  They prosecuted all sorts of people,
• 23:18
  for example,
• 23:18
  our own Steve Baker,
• 23:20
  for going into the Capitol and documenting what was going on there,
• 23:25
  and
• 23:26
  they tried to throw him in prison
• 23:28
  for that.
• 23:29
  Uh,
• 23:29
  they did it to a lot of people.
• 23:31
  Now some people were there and acted said they were journalists and weren't,
• 23:34
  but Steve quite clearly was.
• 23:35
  He's on video.
• 23:36
  We've talked about that before with him
• 23:38
  on this particular show,
• 23:39
  um.
• 23:42
  Most likely he will probably have a good defense there.
• 23:45
  Now,
• 23:45
  if they find out that he did know about this and was encouraging
• 23:48
  it before because they find out in text messages or whatever later on,
• 23:51
  it could be a totally different story.
• 23:52
  I don't know what Don does in his personal life,
• 23:54
  and nor do I want to.
• 23:55
  As I mentioned,
• 23:56
  he's a biter,
• 23:57
  but I will say that it is important
• 23:59
  for people to understand,
• 24:01
  even if Don Lemon isn't the central part of the charges here.
• 24:05
  And I do think there's a chance they,
• 24:07
  they try to make his life miserable,
• 24:08
  because,
• 24:09
  look,
• 24:10
  whether you think it's right or wrong,
• 24:11
  and I tend to think it's not a good idea,
• 24:13
  but.
• 24:14
  There's very clear things that go on with the process being the punishment,
• 24:18
  and the Trump administration,
• 24:20
  when they found people
• 24:21
  where they can do this sort of stuff to them
• 24:23
  and say,
• 24:24
  hey,
• 24:25
  you're technically in violation,
• 24:26
  or we think you're technically in violation,
• 24:27
  we might normally let this go,
• 24:28
  but this time we're not,
• 24:29
  they tend to go down those roads.
• 24:31
  We will see if that
• 24:33
  continues,
• 24:33
  but the people who actually
• 24:34
  organized the protest and went in there are in serious trouble.
• 24:37
  This is a blatant
• 24:39
  violation of the law.
• 24:40
  And we cannot allow this.
• 24:41
  This is happening over and over and over again,
• 24:44
  and it has to stop.
• 24:45
  Hopefully it will stop
• 24:47
  soon with charges coming against the people
• 24:49
  who are guilty of these crimes.
• 25:02
  Joined once again by Rob Eno,
• 25:04
  managing editor of Blaze News.
• 25:06
  Rob,
• 25:06
  how's it going?
• 25:07
  Is it that's just because you don't live in Minnesota?
• 25:09
  Yes.
• 25:11
  Although it's gonna be as icy cold here next week.
• 25:13
  That's true.
• 25:13
  Cold,
• 25:14
  hopefully fewer riots.
• 25:15
  Uh,
• 25:16
  that's what we're hoping for right now.
• 25:17
  Um,
• 25:18
  I,
• 25:18
  you know,
• 25:18
  we just went over all the stuff that,
• 25:19
  that went on over the weekend,
• 25:21
  and I,
• 25:22
  I don't know,
• 25:22
  I'm,
• 25:22
  I'm fascinated by
• 25:23
  Minnesota as really the center.
• 25:26
  Of political unrest for 6 years now.
• 25:29
  I mean,
• 25:29
  going back to at least George Floyd,
• 25:31
  I mean there's been so much stuff that's going on there,
• 25:33
  you know,
• 25:34
  what do you make of this situation and what is going on up there?
• 25:37
  It's crazy.
• 25:38
  I mean,
• 25:38
  now we have mostly peaceful
• 25:40
  church stormings,
• 25:42
  mostly that,
• 25:42
  is that,
• 25:43
  is that what the media is calling them?
• 25:44
  That's a thing,
• 25:45
  you know,
• 25:46
  ICE has
• 25:48
  federal
• 25:49
  law can be enforced by federal agents,
• 25:51
  and the state should not stop.
• 25:54
  Federal agents from enforcing federal law.
• 25:57
  Barack Obama had that lawsuit where he stopped Arizona
• 26:00
  from trying to enforce immigration law and said,
• 26:02
  well,
• 26:02
  the feds are the only people that can do it.
• 26:04
  Well,
• 26:04
  the feds are trying to do it
• 26:06
  and you have a state
• 26:07
  openly and actively,
• 26:09
  their leadership trying to stop it from happening
• 26:12
  and basically saying.
• 26:13
  that lawlessness is OK
• 26:15
  and that if you try to stop the lawlessness,
• 26:18
  you are an authoritarian
• 26:19
  regime and the media is lapping it up.
• 26:23
  That's exactly
• 26:24
  what's happening,
• 26:25
  you know,
• 26:25
  it started with this,
• 26:27
  um,
• 26:27
  I,
• 26:27
  I am not happy that somebody died,
• 26:30
  but for my entire life.
• 26:33
  Driving your car
• 26:35
  towards a
• 26:36
  police officer or a law enforcement officer has been known as suicide by cop.
• 26:41
  My entire life.
• 26:43
  They have called it suicide by cop.
• 26:46
  This is not like fun and games.
• 26:48
  It's not a peaceful protest when you drive a car.
• 26:51
  And that,
• 26:52
  I believe that that ICE officer had been.
• 26:55
  Like hospitalized because he had been run over by a car before.
• 26:58
  Yes,
• 26:59
  I mean you can understand why he might be a tad sensitive on that.
• 27:01
  And look,
• 27:02
  I brought this up before,
• 27:03
  if you didn't catch the show earlier.
• 27:06
  Just do two things.
• 27:08
  Look,
• 27:08
  when you're looking at this video,
• 27:10
  ask yourself two questions.
• 27:12
  Uh,
• 27:12
  was the,
• 27:13
  were the wheels
• 27:15
  of that car pointed at the officer when she starts accelerating?
• 27:19
  The answer to that is yes.
• 27:20
  Does he have his gun out
• 27:22
  before she starts accelerating?
• 27:24
  The answer to that is no.
• 27:25
  And those two things I think are very,
• 27:27
  very clear and they're going to be very central to whatever defense he has to muster,
• 27:30
  if he has to muster one.
• 27:31
  Honestly,
• 27:32
  right now the DOJ is not really doing
• 27:33
  much about,
• 27:34
  uh,
• 27:34
  you know,
• 27:34
  not,
• 27:35
  not going to be investigating.
• 27:36
  We'll see how,
• 27:36
  if that continues.
• 27:37
  Um.
• 27:38
  Let's go to the journalism side of this though,
• 27:40
  because,
• 27:40
  you know,
• 27:41
  the,
• 27:41
  the,
• 27:42
  um,
• 27:43
  uh,
• 27:43
  every person who has a cell phone has decided to
• 27:46
  go to Minneapolis now and is getting lots of footage,
• 27:48
  lots of them on the conservative side as well as the,
• 27:50
  uh,
• 27:51
  the left wing side.
• 27:51
  Don Lemon there,
• 27:53
  uh,
• 27:53
  following around protesters with a bunch of
• 27:55
  other journalists who went into this church
• 27:57
  and,
• 27:58
  and,
• 27:58
  and
• 27:59
  documented what was going on there now.
• 28:02
  We talked to Harvey Dillon earlier today,
• 28:03
  and she was,
• 28:04
  you know,
• 28:05
  uh coy about what,
• 28:06
  what they were planning on doing,
• 28:07
  but
• 28:08
  indicated she did not necessarily see this,
• 28:11
  uh,
• 28:11
  particular,
• 28:12
  she's a,
• 28:13
  um,
• 28:14
  a generic version of the Don Lemon case to talk about the Don Lemon case,
• 28:17
  but.
• 28:18
  Uh,
• 28:18
  I did not see this as a,
• 28:19
  an act of journalism and,
• 28:21
  and seemed to think that there was more to it than that.
• 28:22
  Should we,
• 28:23
  should,
• 28:24
  is that true,
• 28:24
  or should we be excited about this?
• 28:26
  Um,
• 28:27
  I,
• 28:27
  I don't know if they're gonna do anything.
• 28:28
  They haven't done anything
• 28:29
  with any of this stuff anyways,
• 28:30
  right?
• 28:31
  I mean,
• 28:31
  that,
• 28:31
  that's the part that's,
• 28:33
  but I would,
• 28:33
  I would warn people on both
• 28:35
  sides,
• 28:37
  conservative
• 28:38
  journalists with cell phones,
• 28:39
  you know,
• 28:40
  cosplaying is.
• 28:41
  You know,
• 28:42
  war reporters with flak vests and things like that,
• 28:45
  and the left wing ones do not become the story yourself.
• 28:49
  Do not provocate things to happen so you can get video,
• 28:53
  and I think a lot of times on both sides
• 28:56
  that seems
• 28:57
  to happen,
• 28:57
  right?
• 28:58
  We had um Chris Ruffo who's.
• 29:00
  On,
• 29:00
  it's on Blaze News.
• 29:01
  They were out there in Minneapolis last week and
• 29:04
  we had video teams there and our guys
• 29:06
  went and just asked everybody questions and we had people from the
• 29:09
  left come up and want to talk to us and give us
• 29:11
  diatribes and we have people on the right that wanted to talk,
• 29:13
  you know,
• 29:13
  we just went and were journalists
• 29:16
  and documented what was happening,
• 29:18
  right?
• 29:19
  And that's,
• 29:19
  if you do that,
• 29:20
  I think you're fine.
• 29:22
  I think you crossed the line when,
• 29:24
  you know,
• 29:24
  you said,
• 29:24
  ask the question,
• 29:25
  right?
• 29:26
  You said.
• 29:27
  Were the wheels turned towards the guy?
• 29:29
  Yes.
• 29:29
  Did he have the gun out before?
• 29:31
  No.
• 29:32
  The New York Times did like a Zabruder film
• 29:34
  analysis
• 29:36
  frame by frame,
• 29:37
  stop motion to see the thing.
• 29:39
  That,
• 29:39
  that's activism.
• 29:42
  It's like journalism.
• 29:44
  That's,
• 29:44
  and,
• 29:44
  and,
• 29:45
  and everybody on the left is using that,
• 29:47
  well,
• 29:47
  see,
• 29:47
  no,
• 29:47
  this is exactly what happened.
• 29:49
  Now I will say
• 29:50
  there is a problem if it's true that they stopped medics from getting to her.
• 29:55
  That,
• 29:55
  that is a problem proven.
• 29:57
  That's not proven,
• 29:58
  but that is,
• 29:58
  that's been accused that has been accused.
• 30:00
  If that happened,
• 30:00
  that might be where they get into trouble,
• 30:02
  right?
• 30:02
  The ice,
• 30:03
  and,
• 30:03
  and I would be for that,
• 30:04
  you know,
• 30:05
  if you've shot somebody
• 30:06
  and the,
• 30:07
  the situation is diffused.
• 30:09
  You should allow medics to come in to try it.
• 30:12
  It's funny to hear you say this,
• 30:13
  Rob,
• 30:13
  because
• 30:14
  I,
• 30:14
  I was,
• 30:15
  I mentioned this to somebody the other day,
• 30:16
  I think I've even talked about it on the show a little bit.
• 30:18
  I have heard that type of take
• 30:21
  from a lot of people on the right.
• 30:23
  And what you just said was,
• 30:24
  you feel bad about this person
• 30:26
  dying.
• 30:27
  You wish it didn't happen.
• 30:29
  You are
• 30:30
  interested in
• 30:31
  criticism of ICE if facts
• 30:34
  pop up that prove that they are guilty.
• 30:37
  That's a nuanced look at this.
• 30:39
  I have not heard one time from anyone on the left
• 30:43
  any nuance in this issue.
• 30:44
  They can't even seem to bring up the idea
• 30:47
  that accelerating at an officer is a bad idea.
• 30:51
  They can't even bring up that concept.
• 30:53
  Why is it just our side that seems to look at these things and at least attempts
• 30:57
  to understand them?
• 30:58
  I don't get it because we're,
• 31:01
  we get accused of being activists and not journalists a lot,
• 31:03
  right?
• 31:03
  That that's what,
• 31:04
  you know,
• 31:05
  oh,
• 31:05
  you work for the Blaze,
• 31:06
  of course you say that opinions,
• 31:07
  right?
• 31:07
  We have opinions.
• 31:09
  The,
• 31:10
  the,
• 31:10
  the mainstream news media is supposed to be objective and biased,
• 31:13
  and they are unbiased and they are not
• 31:16
  because they have shown time and time again.
• 31:18
  That they are,
• 31:18
  that they are saying that ICE is wrong in every single instance.
• 31:22
  I mean,
• 31:22
  we,
• 31:22
  they,
• 31:22
  they stormed a church
• 31:24
  because they thought the pastor might work for ICE.
• 31:27
  Right?
• 31:27
  It wasn't even the right pastor,
• 31:29
  right?
• 31:29
  And we don't know if they,
• 31:30
  this guy even works for ICE,
• 31:32
  the other pastor.
• 31:33
  So even the,
• 31:34
  which is common,
• 31:35
  we,
• 31:35
  we saw ICE,
• 31:36
  you know,
• 31:36
  showed the videos.
• 31:37
  The guy who's,
• 31:37
  uh,
• 31:38
  taking his hoodie off,
• 31:39
  is forced to take his hoodie off as he's walking down the street.
• 31:41
  A guy who's like delivering like equipment,
• 31:44
  they think he's an ICE agent because he drives an SUV.
• 31:47
  And they start yelling at him,
• 31:48
  and this is happening all over the place.
• 31:50
  They don't even,
• 31:50
  they don't have their facts straight when we get,
• 31:51
  we have reporters being,
• 31:53
  being mugged.
• 31:55
  I think was it Nick Sorter,
• 31:56
  I think got mugged.
• 31:57
  And then the,
• 31:57
  the,
• 31:58
  the police said.
• 32:00
  Oh,
• 32:00
  you know,
• 32:00
  you were just in the wrong neighborhood.
• 32:03
  And,
• 32:03
  and you've got how our law works,
• 32:04
  yeah,
• 32:04
  and you've got,
• 32:05
  you've got Minnesota,
• 32:07
  you've got Minnesota
• 32:08
  state reps,
• 32:09
  I think,
• 32:09
  uh,
• 32:09
  Somalian,
• 32:10
  Minnesota,
• 32:11
  Somalian American,
• 32:11
  Minnesota state rep,
• 32:13
  they're saying,
• 32:13
  well,
• 32:13
  there should just be no go zones
• 32:15
  in the United States like there are in Europe that they say that don't exist,
• 32:18
  but we know they exist.
• 32:19
  I mean that,
• 32:20
  that is.
• 32:20
  Not the United States
• 32:22
  of America.
• 32:23
  And it's,
• 32:24
  and I think it's people like,
• 32:25
  like,
• 32:25
  I think Tim Waltz wants this.
• 32:27
  I think Tim Waltz resigned like a day too early.
• 32:31
  He said he wasn't going to run again because then this all blows up,
• 32:33
  right?
• 32:33
  And he's trying to be like the hero.
• 32:34
  But I mean,
• 32:35
  he has
• 32:37
  basically called.
• 32:39
  For open rebellion against the United States of
• 32:41
  America and the media is taking his side.
• 32:42
  I listened to a podcast the other day and there was a guy who
• 32:44
  was a who was a resident of a neighborhood and he was like,
• 32:48
  Hey,
• 32:48
  yeah,
• 32:48
  you know,
• 32:49
  ICE is out here and we're against them and
• 32:51
  And they tried to come for my neighbor but we were able to hold them off.
• 32:55
  What do you mean you were able to hold them off?
• 32:56
  These are federal law enforcement officials.
• 32:58
  There's no holding them off.
• 33:02
  That's an argument you can make in court later on to say whether you maybe
• 33:06
  charges were wrong or whatever,
• 33:08
  but like these people are out there
• 33:10
  and
• 33:11
  they're cosplaying.
• 33:13
  An actual war.
• 33:14
  They all think that they're warriors because they're
• 33:16
  on Twitter or they're on Blue Sky,
• 33:18
  you know,
• 33:19
  criticizing ICE,
• 33:19
  and then they get out there and you saw the face of that woman before she got shot.
• 33:22
  That's the part that hit me the most
• 33:24
  was
• 33:25
  watching her.
• 33:25
  She just thought this was a silly thing.
• 33:28
  You know,
• 33:28
  like,
• 33:28
  I mean,
• 33:28
  yeah,
• 33:29
  she was crazy and yeah,
• 33:30
  she's a leftist and yeah,
• 33:31
  she was trying to do all these things,
• 33:32
  but like to her it was just like sarcastic,
• 33:35
  like I'm gonna be a wise ass and say nasty things to these officers because
• 33:39
  I'm a badass.
• 33:41
  And she wound up paying with her life.
• 33:42
  That's Twitter in real life.
• 33:44
  And,
• 33:44
  and that's what they're training these people to do.
• 33:46
  And it's,
• 33:47
  it's absolutely
• 33:48
  horrendous.
• 33:49
  I mean,
• 33:49
  these are,
• 33:50
  we,
• 33:50
  we talk about NGOs and,
• 33:52
  and,
• 33:52
  and.
• 33:54
  I don't know if you really call this an NGO,
• 33:56
  but,
• 33:56
  um,
• 33:57
  nonprofits and,
• 33:59
  and organizations that train these people as,
• 34:01
  you know,
• 34:01
  as supporting domestic terrorism.
• 34:03
  And in this case,
• 34:04
  I think
• 34:05
  there,
• 34:05
  there is a case
• 34:07
  to possibly be made
• 34:09
  that they are training people
• 34:10
  and,
• 34:10
  and
• 34:11
  this driving cars into ICE agents didn't just happen in Minneapolis.
• 34:15
  It's happened all over the country.
• 34:16
  It's like their standard operating procedure.
• 34:19
  Mhm.
• 34:20
  Uh,
• 34:20
  it's shocking.
• 34:21
  Um,
• 34:22
  before you go though,
• 34:23
  um,
• 34:23
  I do want to hit maybe the more important thing of the day.
• 34:26
  I have to,
• 34:26
  I can't have you on without,
• 34:27
  uh,
• 34:28
  you being able to gloat over your New England Patriots going to yet another
• 34:31
  AFC championship.
• 34:32
  14 in 25 years.
• 34:33
  Yeah,
• 34:34
  yeah,
• 34:34
  it's only 14 in 25 years.
• 34:35
  Only it was a long 5 year drought.
• 34:37
  Yeah,
• 34:38
  it was 5 year drought.
• 34:39
  Uh,
• 34:40
  very impressive.
• 34:40
  First of all,
• 34:41
  I know you called it,
• 34:42
  you were on them,
• 34:42
  uh,
• 34:42
  early as a,
• 34:43
  as at least a contender for this,
• 34:45
  uh,
• 34:45
  turning around a couple of really rough seasons.
• 34:47
  Uh,
• 34:48
  first of all,
• 34:48
  you feel free to gloat,
• 34:49
  and also you,
• 34:50
  I guess,
• 34:51
  I mean,
• 34:51
  Sean McDermott fired from the Bills
• 34:54
  is pretty shocking as well.
• 34:55
  A lot,
• 34:55
  a lot of news in your division.
• 34:56
  Oh yeah,
• 34:56
  I know,
• 34:57
  it's fantastic.
• 34:58
  I mean,
• 34:58
  it's just,
• 34:58
  I,
• 34:58
  I don't,
• 34:59
  I was,
• 35:00
  it's funny,
• 35:00
  we've been going to this Patriots meetup group here in Dallas,
• 35:03
  and you know they they're.
• 35:04
  Weeks when we had 4 of us and 5 of us over the past 3 or 4 years,
• 35:08
  and there were like 50 people and I went to one of the waitresses.
• 35:11
  I'm like,
• 35:11
  well,
• 35:11
  this is a lot different than a couple of years ago,
• 35:13
  huh,
• 35:13
  when there was like 4 of us sitting upstairs at the upstairs bar.
• 35:16
  And it's funny because it's a Packers bar and they're gone,
• 35:19
  they're out,
• 35:19
  and we just basically took over their bar.
• 35:21
  Um,
• 35:22
  and it was fantastic.
• 35:23
  I mean,
• 35:23
  it's.
• 35:25
  It's the defense.
• 35:26
  I mean,
• 35:26
  Drake May is good.
• 35:28
  Um,
• 35:28
  he's got,
• 35:29
  he's,
• 35:30
  he doesn't look great the past couple of games,
• 35:31
  but he's good.
• 35:32
  Um,
• 35:33
  receivers are outstanding.
• 35:34
  That Keyshaw Booty,
• 35:35
  you got Moss
• 35:36
  catch in the end zone.
• 35:37
  I think you,
• 35:38
  you got Moss that's done for the year,
• 35:39
  but I don't think he'll be in there.
• 35:40
  But that,
• 35:41
  that secondary
• 35:43
  for two straight weeks made,
• 35:46
  made two really good quarterbacks.
• 35:49
  Looked like they were in fear of their life.
• 35:51
  Yes,
• 35:52
  I,
• 35:52
  I mean Hebert and,
• 35:53
  and
• 35:54
  CJ Stroud.
• 35:54
  CJ Stroud,
• 35:55
  um,
• 35:56
  if
• 35:57
  you were to
• 35:59
  If you were to get up to the line and spike the ball
• 36:03
  on every down,
• 36:03
  according to FanDuel,
• 36:05
  you would have a 39.8
• 36:07
  quarterback rating.
• 36:08
  CJ Strouds was 28.
• 36:11
  That's terrible.
• 36:13
  I mean,
• 36:13
  he was,
• 36:13
  he looked,
• 36:14
  I don't know if it was the weather.
• 36:15
  I mean,
• 36:15
  he hasn't played
• 36:17
  great since his rookie year,
• 36:18
  but still like I,
• 36:19
  he's been better than that.
• 36:20
  I mean that like he looked terrible in that game.
• 36:22
  I mean,
• 36:22
  I,
• 36:22
  I,
• 36:23
  it's tough,
• 36:23
  but it's good.
• 36:24
  I mean,
• 36:24
  I,
• 36:24
  I think I,
• 36:25
  I feel bad for Bo Nix.
• 36:26
  What,
• 36:27
  what's your reaction to the Buffalo situation?
• 36:29
  I,
• 36:30
  I mean,
• 36:31
  you can't,
• 36:31
  if you can't
• 36:32
  get to the Super Bowl,
• 36:34
  and you keep losing,
• 36:35
  they've got to find something.
• 36:36
  There's obviously something wrong with McDermott where he can't get there.
• 36:39
  Now there's,
• 36:39
  you know,
• 36:40
  Bills fans saying,
• 36:41
  well,
• 36:41
  you know,
• 36:41
  they're not giving Josh the,
• 36:43
  the people around him that he needs,
• 36:44
  so that's really a general manager thing.
• 36:46
  That seems,
• 36:47
  I'm surprised they're keeping him on because uh it seems
• 36:49
  like he's maybe clearing house was the right move here,
• 36:52
  right?
• 36:52
  I,
• 36:52
  I think it is.
• 36:53
  I mean,
• 36:53
  and,
• 36:53
  you know,
• 36:53
  Josh Allen's there for 5 more years,
• 36:56
  4 more years.
• 36:56
  He's there till 2030.
• 36:57
  He's probably a little upset that he signed that contract now,
• 36:59
  um,
• 37:00
  but
• 37:01
  you know,
• 37:02
  it's.
• 37:04
  McDermott just can't get it done.
• 37:07
  You either can,
• 37:07
  you can either win or you can't.
• 37:08
  Like I,
• 37:08
  I've got a thing with quarterbacks,
• 37:10
  right?
• 37:10
  Um,
• 37:11
  I don't think as a quarterback you should get into the Hall of Fame
• 37:14
  unless you won a Super Bowl with your team.
• 37:17
  So I don't think Dan Marino should be a Hall of Fame quarterback
• 37:20
  because he did not win a Super Bowl with this team.
• 37:22
  He couldn't win a big game.
• 37:24
  That was McDermott's problem.
• 37:25
  That's,
• 37:26
  uh,
• 37:26
  I don't know if I agree with you on Marino,
• 37:27
  but I,
• 37:28
  you know,
• 37:29
  I do,
• 37:29
  I see what you're saying there.
• 37:30
  It is,
• 37:30
  it's the most important thing you're trying to do.
• 37:32
  Um,
• 37:33
  so,
• 37:33
  uh,
• 37:33
  that's interesting.
• 37:34
  Now the only.
• 37:34
  The only coach outside,
• 37:35
  uh,
• 37:36
  outside of your team left in that division is the Jets.
• 37:39
  Right,
• 37:39
  because it was his first year because they weren't gonna pull a,
• 37:42
  they weren't gonna pull a Gerard Mayo on him.
• 37:43
  They're like,
• 37:43
  we'll give you 2 years,
• 37:45
  2 years.
• 37:45
  So,
• 37:45
  um,
• 37:46
  uh,
• 37:46
  fascinating.
• 37:46
  It's gonna be a lot of fun and,
• 37:47
  uh,
• 37:48
  you know,
• 37:48
  I,
• 37:49
  I am devastated that my poor Eagles,
• 37:51
  uh,
• 37:51
  just completely folded.
• 37:52
  But it was a great,
• 37:53
  it was a great troll from your Nick Foles.
• 37:54
  Yeah,
• 37:54
  yeah,
• 37:55
  Nick Foles was awesome.
• 37:56
  He was awesome where,
• 37:56
  where he said,
• 37:57
  you know.
• 37:58
  Patriots don't always beat the backup quarterback in the playoffs.
• 38:02
  It's fair,
• 38:02
  it's fair.
• 38:03
  And I will say,
• 38:04
  Eagles still Super Bowl champs for a few more weeks.
• 38:06
  Remember that.
• 38:07
  Uh,
• 38:07
  still defending champs at this
• 38:09
  kind of moment.
• 38:09
  Rob Eno,
• 38:10
  managing editor of Blaze News,
• 38:11
  a little football talk there
• 38:12
  at the end.
• 38:13
  Hey,
• 38:13
  look,
• 38:13
  we can talk about Minneapolis the whole time,
• 38:15
  but,
• 38:16
  uh,
• 38:16
  we're gonna,
• 38:16
  we're gonna wanna light ourselves on fire if we continue to do that.
• 38:19
  So,
• 38:20
  Rob,
• 38:20
  thanks so much for coming on.
• 38:21
  Thanks for having me on.
• 38:30
  One thing we talked about a few times is a,
• 38:32
  I've been watching these,
• 38:33
  I watch a lot of car reviews on,
• 38:34
  uh,
• 38:35
  on YouTube every once in a while when I'm like bored before bed and I'm just,
• 38:38
  you know,
• 38:38
  flipping through car reviews and they've been starting
• 38:40
  to review more of these Chinese electric vehicles,
• 38:43
  uh,
• 38:44
  and I,
• 38:44
  you know,
• 38:44
  look,
• 38:45
  I've never driven one.
• 38:47
  I don't know,
• 38:47
  but I will say some of the technology appears to be.
• 38:50
  Really significant and impressive
• 38:53
  to the fact of like I wonder if we're starting to actually not have the best
• 38:58
  of that market in this country.
• 39:00
  We basically blocked Chinese electric vehicles
• 39:04
  from coming into the country through massive,
• 39:06
  massive,
• 39:07
  massive,
• 39:07
  massive tariffs that were actually put on during the Biden administration
• 39:11
  and I think have been upped since Trump came into office as well.
• 39:14
  Anyway,
• 39:15
  Chinese electric vehicles are now making inroads in America.
• 39:18
  Experts are worried.
• 39:20
  The reason for this,
• 39:21
  it seems to be because
• 39:22
  we have been getting in this fight with Canada
• 39:24
  over tariffs and going back and forth with them.
• 39:27
  Canada finally just said,
• 39:28
  all right,
• 39:28
  well if you guys are going to do this to us,
• 39:30
  we're going to start dealing with China.
• 39:31
  Now it says something about Canada.
• 39:33
  Glenn went through a kind of a longer
• 39:36
  explanation as to the dynamic there,
• 39:37
  which is problematic,
• 39:38
  but
• 39:39
  the bottom line is they're going to start
• 39:40
  importing a bunch of these cars into Canada,
• 39:42
  and once they're there,
• 39:43
  they're likely to be here.
• 39:45
  And that is going to be a significant development for our auto market
• 39:50
  if people start seeing these things and they are as good as advertised,
• 39:52
  maybe they're not,
• 39:54
  but that could be something that's a massive situation with our
• 39:58
  auto industry.
• 39:59
  We'll get into that here more as that develops.
• 40:01
  The dollar dented as Trump tariff threats drive investors into safe
• 40:05
  havens.
• 40:06
  I will say.
• 40:07
  We just,
• 40:08
  we're at that point where we're just sitting here waiting for the Supreme Court.
• 40:11
  It's like,
• 40:12
  all right,
• 40:12
  get to it,
• 40:12
  guys,
• 40:13
  get to it.
• 40:14
  You know,
• 40:14
  Trump is like,
• 40:15
  no,
• 40:15
  we're gonna put new tariffs on Greenland,
• 40:17
  and every country that every country,
• 40:19
  excuse me,
• 40:20
  that doesn't agree with us on Greenland
• 40:21
  is gonna get tariffs,
• 40:22
  and they're
• 40:23
  adding all this stuff on,
• 40:24
  and we just don't know.
• 40:25
  It could be as early as tomorrow that all of this gets overturned.
• 40:27
  The Supreme Court is going to have a ruling on whether AEPA,
• 40:30
  which is this
• 40:32
  Economic emergency Protective Act
• 40:35
  that is available
• 40:37
  to the president for certain things,
• 40:38
  does not mention tariffs anywhere in the act.
• 40:40
  Trump has used it to say that tariffs are part of it.
• 40:44
  We will see what the Supreme Court says.
• 40:46
  Um,
• 40:46
  you know,
• 40:46
  I've been looking at some of the prediction markets.
• 40:47
  There's about a 70% chance these things get overturned,
• 40:51
  according to if you believe the markets or the,
• 40:53
  the common knowledge or common,
• 40:55
  uh,
• 40:55
  you know,
• 40:55
  common sense belief,
• 40:56
  at least
• 40:57
  from the markets these days.
• 40:59
  I don't know what's going to happen here.
• 41:00
  I think,
• 41:01
  I think there's a good chance it will get overturned.
• 41:02
  I think that the right thing is,
• 41:03
  honestly,
• 41:04
  it would be,
• 41:05
  um,
• 41:05
  but we don't know.
• 41:06
  And until that happens,
• 41:07
  all this stuff is just out there.
• 41:08
  Like he's just doing all this stuff,
• 41:09
  and we have no idea whether it's going to stand or not.
• 41:11
  It's impossible to have any certainty.
• 41:13
  I,
• 41:13
  I'd like to just know either way,
• 41:15
  frankly,
• 41:15
  at this point.
• 41:16
  Um,
• 41:16
  and finally,
• 41:16
  before we leave,
• 41:17
  uh,
• 41:17
  Josh,
• 41:17
  uh,
• 41:18
  Shapiro says he's got a new book out,
• 41:20
  Josh Shapiro,
• 41:20
  the,
• 41:20
  uh,
• 41:20
  governor of
• 41:21
  Pennsylvania.
• 41:22
  He says
• 41:23
  Kamala Harris's vetting team asked whether he
• 41:24
  was an agent of the Israeli government,
• 41:26
  because as you know,
• 41:27
  all Jews work together.
• 41:30
  Uh,
• 41:31
  so
• 41:32
  that's a good question for your vetting team,
• 41:34
  uh,
• 41:35
  there,
• 41:36
  Kamala.
• 41:36
  I mean,
• 41:37
  look,
• 41:37
  Kamala is a moron,
• 41:38
  and I don't know that she put this in there.
• 41:39
  We don't know,
• 41:40
  but
• 41:41
  you have to understand that one of the big concerns of the Democrats was
• 41:44
  they didn't want to piss off the Hamas part of their party,
• 41:47
  the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party
• 41:50
  who.
• 41:50
  to do things like we saw
• 41:52
  at the church as we started the show with storming,
• 41:55
  making major protests,
• 41:58
  interrupting events.
• 41:59
  They didn't want that happening before
• 42:00
  their convention,
• 42:01
  so they were like,
• 42:02
  yeah,
• 42:02
  maybe we shouldn't bring a Jew onto the ticket.
• 42:05
  That's basically what happened,
• 42:06
  and that's my reporting.
• 42:08
  No,
• 42:08
  but it's pretty much well known that that's why they did this,
• 42:10
  or at least.
• 42:11
  Good chunk as to why they did this,
• 42:12
  and of course Kamala kind of bashed Shapiro in her book.
• 42:16
  Now Shapiro's revenge
• 42:18
  with her making her look kind of anti-Semitic potentially
• 42:21
  uh in his book.
• 42:22
  So
• 42:23
  lots of fun on the day if you thought
• 42:24
  it was only the Republican side that was dysfunctional,
• 42:27
  I've got news for you.
• 42:28
  It's definitely on the other side in spades as well.
• 42:42
  OK,
• 42:43
  so here's what happened.
• 42:45
  Everyone wants to go on a good vacation every once in a while,
• 42:48
  especially,
• 42:48
  I mean,
• 42:48
  think about the news that we talked about today.
• 42:49
  It'd be nice to kind of get away a little bit.
• 42:52
  If you happen to be a person
• 42:54
  who is interested in a,
• 42:55
  in a,
• 42:56
  in a real getaway,
• 42:57
  you may want to get on this list.
• 42:59
  You could now pay up to $1 million
• 43:01
  to reserve a hotel stay
• 43:04
  on the moon.
• 43:06
  Yes,
• 43:06
  here's the facility,
• 43:07
  uh,
• 43:08
  this is what they're gonna build out apparently
• 43:10
  up on the moon somewhere.
• 43:11
  It looks kind of like a White House.
• 43:13
  Uh,
• 43:14
  up on the moon,
• 43:14
  and you can go and you can stay there.
• 43:16
  Uh,
• 43:16
  the interior looks relatively luxurious,
• 43:19
  very,
• 43:19
  very nice.
• 43:19
  I will say,
• 43:20
  uh,
• 43:20
  it will not cover your entire stay on the moon.
• 43:23
  That's actually going to be more like $10 million a night.
• 43:26
  So,
• 43:26
  check that out.
• 43:27
  The good thing though is it starts
• 43:28
  in 2031,
• 43:30
  so they only hold your million dollars till then,
• 43:31
  and you can go up first in an inflatable structure,
• 43:34
  which sounds delightful.
