• 1:14
  Speaker 1: game changer for me and for my wife, Allison. We

• 1:20
  Speaker 1: there's really no way we're going to get a perfect
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: night's sleep. Can't happen. Mattress is probably not the issue.
• 1:26

• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we've had a lot of conversations on this. I'm like you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I just want arrests. I want justice so badly. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm banging on the doors of the Justice Department. Ladies
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, what is happening over there? And God bless
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights. She
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: stopped by with us this week to say, Vince, I'm
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: telling you, we saw crimes on that tape in St. Paul, Minnesota.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: We are arresting these people. That is definitely going to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: be happening. And then we got the news that that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the attorney general of the United States was headed to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis this week. She heads off to Minnesota. Then we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: get the news that the vice president of the United
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: States is set to be in Minnesota today as well.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's Thursday today. And, you know, I'm sorting through this
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: with you and I'm looking at this going, guys, all
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: these people don't go to Minnesota unless they have something
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to show for it. Imagine showing up there empty handed,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: nothing to show for it, no justice on the way. Well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the good news this morning as we begin live at
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: 10 a.m. Eastern Rumble dot com slash Vince is we've
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: got the attorney general of the United States telling us
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the arrests have absolutely begun minutes ago at my direction.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Pam Bondi posted to X this morning. That's nine twenty
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: eight today. The Homeland Security investigations and FBI agents. have
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: executed an arrest in Minnesota. So far we have arrested,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: so far we have arrested, in other words, more are coming.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: We have arrested Nekima Levi Armstrong. Nekima Levi Armstrong. This
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: is the woman, by the way, who was just on
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the cable news networks in the last 24 hours, insisting
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that she was totally welcome in the church. Of course,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they were tormenting the children inside of that church, disrupting
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the service, breaking federal law. Nikima Levi Armstrong is now
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in the FO phase. She's been arrested. Pam Bondi says
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: she was allegedly playing a key role in organizing the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. We
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: will share more updates as they become available. She says,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: listen loud and clear. We do not tolerate attacks on
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: places of worship. Good news. Now, Pam Bondi also posted
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a second update just a few minutes ago. This is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: 13 minutes ago now as we begin our program. Update,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a second arrest has been made at my direction. Chantelle
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Louisa Allen has also been taken into custody. More to come.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We will protect our houses of worship. Of course, in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: our chat, people citing the fact that Don Lamont was
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: inside that building. He, too, was among the people breaking
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that federal law. He's been insisting that it's just because
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a journalist. I was just there for journalism. He
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: spent all day feeding people. and helping and coordinating with
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and learning the secrets of and not sharing with the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: public the reality that they were going to storm that church.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And then after they did, he celebrated it, saying that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: tormenting children and leaving them traumatized is the way protest
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is done. Of course, that's not the way protest is done.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: That's the way terrorism is done. And Don Lemon was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: there and very helpfully for the rest of us, given
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that he's an idiot, captured all of it on camera.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So the evidence of his crimes captured by his camera's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: which he then went on to share with the public.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So we await the Don Lemon arrest, which, to be clear,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know, you've watched this week as you have a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: lot of these officials saying, yeah, Don Lemon's definitely in play.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Kristi Noem said now two nights ago, Don Lemon is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: absolutely in play for what he's done. You heard from
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Harmeet Dhillon, who spoke to me on this program on
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: our radio show. And of course, you got to hear
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it on this program, as she says. You can't just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: call yourself a journalist and use that as a shield
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: while you commit federal crimes. It doesn't work that way.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And so now we get the breaking news this morning
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that these guys are being arrested. So that's good. I'm
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: happy about that. I was concerned that I would have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to start this show today with yet another update that, yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: they are telling us the arrests are on the way,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: but we have to keep waiting for them. That's a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: frustrating place to be in. Good to see the arrests
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: are occurring. That's key. Now, what does this mean for
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: our justice system? Well, we have to wait for it
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to play out.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: You need U.S.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Attorneys to successfully carry all this out. You need fair
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: courtrooms for this to play out. You need legitimate juries
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to consider the charges. You need all of that. And then,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of course, you need a conviction and a sentence for
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: people who break our laws. There's a lot of moving
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: parts here, and all of them need to work in
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: order for justice to prevail. So we'll keep a close
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: eye on every element here. But arrests have begun. We've
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: been asking for it, and now we're getting it. That's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: great news. That's very good news this morning. Okay. Let's see.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: As we begin with that breaking news, I got to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: tell you that the horrors in Minnesota continue, though. That's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: something that I'm really, really ticked off about. We have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a mob of insurrectionists who are now stalking. They have been,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: but it's getting more and more flagrant and brazen. They've
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: been stalking and assaulting border patrol agents. Stalking and assaulting
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: border patrol agents. And the way this story gets to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: us is we see video yesterday. This is late yesterday
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: breaking viral video from a Speedway gas and convenience store.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You ever seen one of these Speedways? Speedway, which I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: looked it up yesterday. It was a couple of years ago.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: It was purchased by 7-Eleven. 7-Eleven actually operates Speedway. thousands
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of Speedway stores across the country. And this is one
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Speedway location. Border Patrol agents, according to the Department of
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security, had been stopping at a variety of places
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to gas stations to use the bathroom. They're literally stopping
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: because despite the left's claims, they're human beings who need
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to stop for bathroom breaks. And so ICE and Border
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Patrol are including a great guy called Greg Bovino, who's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: become the face of, in so many ways, of this rational, sober, thoughtful,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and deliberative immigration enforcement. His name is Commander Greg Bovino.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He's there, and these guys are in uniform, and the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Speedway store refuses to serve the Border Patrol. Watch this,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this video. Take a look as a Speedway employee says,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you're not welcome here. You will not be served here.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Cut one.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Do you work here? Do you work here?
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You guys kicked him out?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: What's your opinion on it? Why'd you kick him out?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Because I wanted to.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: We don't support ICE and nobody here does.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And so he's not allowed service here? Nope. We don't
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: support ICE.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Commander Bovino, is it legal to deny service to federal agents?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: It is. I personally don't hear it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: If it is, I personally don't care. I don't care
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if I'm running afoul of the law in any capacity here.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: What you're witnessing is the same exact thing that Democrats
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: have served throughout history, which is to deny people service
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: on the basis of their identity, their job, their skin color.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: It's happening again. Greg Bovino and all of the great
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: men and women of law enforcement getting thrown out of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a gas station. They merely want to stop, use the bathroom,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: purchase some items, purchase some gas, whatever it is, getting
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: ejected on the basis of the fact that they're law enforcement. Now,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'll remind you the same thing that President Trump has
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: been talking about all week. What's Greg Bovino doing in Minneapolis?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: What are they doing in Minnesota? Why is ICE even there?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Why are immigration enforcement guys there? The answer, to get
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: rapists and murderers and child predators out of that community.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: so that idiot in the bandana working at that gas
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: station just put speedway into a world of hurt there
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: are calls for boycotts today as these speedway locations are
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: now obviously suffering as a result of lost business thanks
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to that idiot's decision to turn away the good guys,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the people who are actually helping that community and are
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: being wrongfully demonized and terrorized with each job. And we've
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: found out a lot more about this. DHS put out
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a statement yesterday about this. Today, border patrol agents who
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: were in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area as a part of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks. DHS said.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: At each gas station where the agents stopped to use
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and even tried to prevent law enforcement officials from leaving,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: creating unsafe conditions. Now, at one stop, individuals in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: crowd threw food at the agents. Not allowed to throw
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: food at law enforcement. Did people know how this works exactly?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: At their final gas station stop, somebody spit on an agent,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: which is assault. When an agent moved to detain the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: person who spit on him, the crowd tackled and attacked
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the agents while surrounding them. To safely clear the area,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: agents had to use crowd control measures to disperse the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hostile crowd. So let me understand this. So Border Patrol
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: agents are moving from location to location. They're just trying
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to get some bathroom breaks in. They're working to bring
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: peace to this community. They're being stalked by terrorists during
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: their entire job. Where's the Minneapolis Police Department? In what
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: world can you follow law enforcement around to menace them
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and obstruct their jobs and you don't end up with
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: handcuffs on you? How does that work exactly? I couldn't
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: in a million years imagine doing something like that. And
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: here these guys are doing this. And then they get
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: out of the vehicles. They follow them. They're attacking them.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: They're throwing food at them. They're spitting on them. And
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: then when agents actually try to defend themselves and enforce
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the law and take people into custody who are assaulting them,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the rest of the crowd leaps in to assault the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: agents as they try and do their jobs. And we're
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: supposed to keep saying this is not an insurrection? What
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: am I looking at here? This is an insurrection. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I say this with all love in the world for
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: President Trump. I'm so happy that he's overseas working on
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: this peace deal right now. In fact, this morning he
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: announced another big peace deal. They've got this peace board
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: set up with for Gaza, for its reconstruction. He's dealing
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: with all these world leaders. That's going really well. We
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: got breaking news overnight that he's got a deal with Greenland.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Amazing. Love that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: But as he's flying back to the United States on
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Air Force One, I hope that he's looking at what
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you have to say on all of this. I hope
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he's looking at all of this video footage coming to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: us from Minnesota. I hope J.D. Vance can give him
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: an on-the-ground report of what he's encountering, who he's talking to,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: what he's finding out when he gets back from his
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: trip to Minnesota today. Because President Trump needs to invoke
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act. We need the Insurrection Act. How many
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: more examples do we need? How many more examples do
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: we need? People feel like they can chase law enforcement around,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: assault them, and then just get away with it. If
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: you have an entire community of left-wing insurrectionists who have
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: arrived at this conclusion, it clearly means we need the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Insurrection Act. The founders came up with the Insurrection Act
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: for this very reason. Let's employ it. Let's employ it.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: It's been employed 30 times in American history by American presidents,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of times in the last century. Now's the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: time to do it again. I'm not asking for any
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: sort of tyrannical behavior. I'm not asking to hurt people needlessly.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: All I'm asking for is justice. Now, the mob was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: stalking the Border Patrol for hours, as you hear DHS say.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Watch this. Here's video of the mob just stalking Border Patrol,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: stalking immigration enforcers as they try and do their jobs.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Cut to, watch. Whistles surrounding them, screaming at them, phones
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in their faces. And this is the light work. This
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: is before they're assaulting them. This is before they're assaulting them.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And then the assaults begin. And then these guys have
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to fight their way out of this peril. Think about this.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Law enforcement has to fight its way out of this
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: complete atrocity. You can see here in this video, here's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Greg Bovino. pulling his own gas canister. Now you've got
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the boss throwing gas canisters and warning the crowd, I'm
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: about to throw the gas. Get out of the way.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I'm about to throw it. Now, this is pretty generous. Usually,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: law enforcement doesn't give you this many warnings. Here he
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: is warning them, and then he throws it. Cut three.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Gas, gas, gas, they throw it. You see these green
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: clouds of tear gas going up. These guys are trying
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to fight their way out of a city block. Surrounded
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: by these lunatics. Some of them are blowing rape whistles.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: This is their tactic. Run around and blow whistles because
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: they want to notify illegal aliens who've raped children in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: America that ICE may be coming for them. You see,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that's why they're rape whistles, to protect the rapists. That's
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: what they're doing in Minneapolis right now. Gas is coming,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Greg Bovino says. Man, he's got the patience of a saint.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And then you got the video here. Border Patrol agents
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: wrestling these attackers into custody. Some of them, cut four.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Look at this.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: They're dragging some of these idiots away, and rightfully so.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: But imagine you're making an arrest, and in the middle
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of it, you're being assaulted by the lunatics around you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Emotional incontinence on display. People screaming, let her.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Go, let him go.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Don't arrest the guy who just broke the law. They're
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: being arrested, thrown in the cars. As Border Patrol tries
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to escape this scene, craziness, utter craziness. So it just
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: goes back to, yeah, somebody asked, Nair in Florida asked
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a really simple question. Does anybody work?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: This is the middle of the day. There's sunlight out.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And everybody, these lefties are all in the street chasing
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: down law enforcement, who, by the way, are actually working.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Those guys are actually doing their job. A thankless job
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: for the most part. I'm thanking them. You're thanking them.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: But in Minnesota right now, all they're getting is attacked. Attacked.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Invoke the Insurrection Act.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Firestorm 57. Insurrection Act.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I totally agree. Totally 100% enthusiastically agree. It's long past due.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: So that's what we're dealing with. We've got these guys
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: attacking law enforcement. Now, it's not the first time. That
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: video I just showed you of Greg Bovino, you probably
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: know his name because not only has he become such
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a great face of immigration enforcement, but also because the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: left wants to kill him. Illegal aliens want that man dead.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And as we speak, a jury is deliberating in a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: trial on that very crime. I've got more information on
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that in just a moment. We've got a lot to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: get to on this edition of Vince. We'll also be
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: joined by Jonathan Fahey, the former ICE director. We'll get
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: his reaction to what is going on in America. There's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a lot to get to here ahead on this program.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Are you worrying about the upcoming credit card bills? The
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: upcoming credit card bills after the holidays. If you're a homeowner,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: there's really no better time than right now to call
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: American Financing and wipe out that debt. Eliminate the stress.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Set yourself up for a very strong 2026. The Fed
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: dropped rates for the fourth time in December. And American
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Financing can help you access the equity that's in your
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: home at an interest rate in the low fives. Now,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you heard that right in the low fives. That's a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: much lower rate than the average 20 percent or more
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: credit card rate. American Financing is saving their customers an
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: average of $ 800 a month. That's like a $ 10, 000 raise
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to start the new year. There are no upfront fees.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: There's no obligation to see how much you can save.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: And they're closing some of these in as fast as
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: 10 days. And they're even delaying two mortgage payments. American
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Financing is America's home for home loans. So just do
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: yourself a favor. Call them today. 888-879-6460. That's 888-879-6460. American financing.net
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: slash fence. Thank you to American financing. Great sponsor of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: our program. So yeah, ice is a, ice is still,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it's still chugging along. They're still doing the work, which
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: is great. And they're, they're picking up the most violent
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: people imaginable. I saw DHS at the president's instruction has
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: put up a big website on the subject and you
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: can see all of the disgusting people that they're picking
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: up off of our streets. 10,000 people, by the way, 10,000,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: that's not a small number arrested in Minneapolis. That's huge.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And so that work continues.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: J.D.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Vance there today to root on law enforcement. And my
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: guess is to also. make a big announcement related to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: these arrests, which is which is great. We are we're
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: going to keep an eye on Pam Bondi's X account.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: See if anything happens during the show here, because I'd
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: like for a third arrest and a fourth arrest and
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a fifth arrest and a sixth arrest and a Don
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Lemon arrest and all of these arrests to be made today.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on. on Pam Bondi's operation. Speaking
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: of Don Lemon, have you noticed that there's no lefties
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: who are even bothering to defend him right now? Like
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: there's nobody even speaking up for him. Like in the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: old days they did when he was still part of
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the CNN operation, but now like nothing, nothing. They're not
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: even talking because everybody knows that Don Lemon was in
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: on it. The other guy I'm looking forward to being
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: arrested is that guy, William Kelly, that insane person. I
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: think he's truly mentally insane, but man, that guy needs
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to be taken out of polite society. Put handcuffs on
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that dude. He raids the church. He's screaming in the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: face of kids and he's yelling at people. My favorite
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: thing he was yelling was, why are you dressed so nice?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: You're a white supremacist for being dressed nice. You know
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: why they were dressed nice, William Kelly? You idiot. They're
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a church. You dress nice for church. You don't go
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: in in your haggard hoodie screaming in the faces of worshipers.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Turns out you're the jackass here, not the people who
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: are going to church dressed like they're going to church.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: The bearded jackass says that Joe 75. Yeah. Totally. All right.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: He is a lunatic. I agree, Nancy Duncan. I think
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: something's wrong with that guy. Put him in a straitjacket.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: President Trump keeps talking about getting the insane asylums back open.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Throw that guy in there. So we got Greg Bovino.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Greg Bovino. You'll remember earlier this year there was a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: bounty put out on Greg Bovino's head. That is to kill.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: A member of the Border Patrol. And as a result,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: what we saw was the Trump administration made an arrest
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of an illegal alien Latin Kings gang member by the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: name of Juan Espinoza Martinez, a 37 year old, a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: 37 year old. And he's here illegally in the country.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: So for every reason, this guy should not be in
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: our country. And we've got let me see here. We've
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: got the jury deliberating right now. Fox News reports a
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: federal jury is weighing the case as we speak. centered
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: on whether a Chicago man's Snapchat messages amounted to a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: genuine murder for hire plot targeting a senior U.S. Border
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Patrol official or reckless talk shared online. Wait, wait a second.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Hold on. If you shared a message calling for a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: bounty on the head of a Biden official, do you
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: think for a second that anybody would be trying to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: litigate whether or not you were joking? Oh, it was
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: just reckless talk. It's harmless. It's nothing. Are you serious
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: right now? The guy's an illegal alien, Latin Kings gang
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: member in America. And he's posting about how he's going
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to give money to somebody who kills Greg Bovino specifically.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: It's not like he's like just randomly saying, I don't
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: like ice. And even that would be a crime. But
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he's talking about specifically Greg Bovino. And so the case
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: before the jury is that, oh, maybe he was just
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: shooting off at the mouth. And he didn't really mean it,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: so therefore it's not a violation of the law. I'm sorry, UFA, UFO,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: these are simple things. He put a bounty on the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: head of an immigration enforcer. Lock that guy up, throw
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: away the key. The defense rested Wednesday, yesterday, in the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: federal trial of Juan Espinosa Martinez, who is accused of
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: soliciting the murder of Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino by
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: offering cash rewards through Snapchat, according to the Associated Press.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Espinoza Martinez did not testify. Oh, why didn't he testify?
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: He didn't testify in his own trial. Now, this is
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: right not to testify. He doesn't have to testify. But
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: why didn't he testify? I thought he had some great excuse.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I was just shooting off at the mouth, a little reckless,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have done it. Nothing like that. You didn't say that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: They didn't put him on the stand because they knew
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: this guy. Come on now. You know what this is.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: His lawyers didn't put him on the stand because they
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: knew this guy was guilty as hell. And if he
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: opened his sock, they would everyone would hear that he
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: was doing a murder for hire plot.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: U.S.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: District Judge Joan Lefkoe sent jurors home for the day,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: told them to return Thursday morning for closing arguments, after
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: which the case is expected to be handed to the jury. Okay,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: so the closing arguments are coming. Yeah, so we're in
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the closing argument phase, and the jury will be deliberating
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: on it. Prosecutors allege that Espinosa Martinez unknowingly sent Snapchat
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: messages to a government informant offering $ 2, 000 for information on
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Bovino's whereabouts. And $ 10, 000 if you take him down. I'm sorry,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: what is that? That's a joke? That's just reckless talk?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Jurors were shown screenshots of the messages, some of which
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: included a photograph of Bovino. You've got to be kidding me. $ 10, 000
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: for his head. Here's a photo of him. Come on. Please, please, jury,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: get this one right. Please.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: This is according to the testimony cited by the Associated Press.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: There's a picture of Greg Bovino, those of you on Rumble.com
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: slash Vince. And you should be, by the way, if
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you're listening to our podcast. Rumble.com slash Vince.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Go there.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Subscribe to this program. And if you did it in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the past, do it again in the present because we
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: switched the Rumble channel that we're on. But Rumble.com slash
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Vince will send you to what's called the Bongino Report.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Go sign up there. On February 2nd, we'll be doing
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: this program live every day at 8 a.m. You need
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to be there with us. Federal prosecutors argued in opening
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: statements here in this Bovino case that the messages did
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: go beyond angry rhetoric or political speech, and they represented
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: a deliberate attempt to solicit violence against a federal law
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: enforcement official. U.S. Attorney Minja Shin telling jurors, quote, this
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: case is not about somebody expressing strong views about immigration enforcement.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: These messages showed intent, not joke, not gossip. Yeah, look, $ 10, 000.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: The guy says he wants a specific price for the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: head of Gregory Bovino. Posts a photo of him with
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the expectation. Now, the defense apparently was claiming, well, he
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of money in his bank account.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I don't care how much money he's got in his
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: bank account. He's putting out hits on the guy. He
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: put in the work to figure out how to put
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the hit on the guy. And we're going to take
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that as a joke? Hell no. Lock that guy up.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Throw away the key. And protect the men and women
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: of law enforcement. How hard is this? Why is it
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: that that's a Fox News report? Is this all over
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the place? Are we seeing this everywhere? Is the media
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: covering this story when Greg Bovino's got a hit out
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: on him? Anything like that? Because what I've noticed is
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the same sort of power politics you always see in
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the lunatic left wing media, which is, oh, this isn't
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: good for Democrats. We've got a bunch of Democrats who
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: are acting like lunatics right now. So here's what we're
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: going to do. We're going to keep breathing life into it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: We're not going to tell them how vile the human
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: beings are that immigration enforcement keeps picking up. We're going
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to hide the fact that these are rapists and murderers.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And simultaneously, we're going to conceal the fact that Immigration
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement, as well as Border Patrol and anybody else, FBI,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: who's assisting in this immigration enforcement mission, we're just going
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to keep concealing that they're being assaulted at record rates,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that we've seen a rise in assaults on Border Patrol agents,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: By 1,800 percent.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: We're going to conceal the fact that there's been an
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: 8000 percent increase in death threats, including murder for hire
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: plots against people like Greg Bovino. We're just going to
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: keep covering up that story. And in the end, hopefully
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: we can defeat Donald Trump. That's the plan. You people
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: are psychos. This is like this is completely psychotic. Why
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: do we keep calling for the Insurrection Act? We have
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to restore order to this country. The media aren't going
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to help us do it. Democrats aren't going to help
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: us do it. We're the ones we've been waiting for.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: This is the moment. You want to save your country?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Save it. Insurrection Act. Coming up, Jonathan Fahey will join us,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: former acting ICE director. I want to get his impression
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: about this because he's worked up close and personal with
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the men and women of ICE. He cares a lot
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: about these people and they're under constant attack. What do
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: we do about this? I'm going to ask Jonathan in
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: just a moment. Doctors call, let me, sorry, going to

• 31:04
  Speaker 1: tough mission that they're undertaking. They're being assaulted in the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: middle of the street, stalked and assaulted. And we got
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: more footage of it today for more on all of this.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I want to go to a guy who's very familiar
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: with all of this, how it, how it works because
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: he was the acting ice director. Jonathan Fahey is here.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: He's an attorney, an academic law enforcement expert. He was
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the deputy assistant secretary of the United States department of
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Homeland security. And yes, the acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director. Jonathan,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: great to have you back with us, sir.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Great to be here. Thanks for having me.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm seeing more footage now this time of Border
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Patrol agents. They're being attacked in the streets. They can't
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: even stop to use the bathroom. They're being ejected from
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: gas stations, having food thrown at them, being spat upon.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: And then they have to fight their way out of
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a small city block as they're surrounded by these terrorists.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: What are you thinking as you're seeing this, Jonathan?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: It is so amazing.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: If you were to think 10 or 15 years ago
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: in this country, if you would ever have a political
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: party that is just openly hostile to law enforcement, it
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: wouldn't even be conceivable. And it really is just an
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: extension of the Democratic Party's anti-law enforcement crusade. And what
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: makes us so cynical, in my view, is we all
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: know why they're doing it, me and the Democrats. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: they're doing it because they believe illegal immigration will help
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: them electorally. So they do everything they can to defame ICE,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: to put them in danger. And they're only doing so
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: because they want to keep the illegal aliens that they
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: brought in under Biden here. And then they think it
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: will help them electorally. So everything about what they're doing
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: is so cynical. And they want to portray themselves as
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: being the virtuous ones when in fact, Everything they've done
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: in this whole immigration scheme has been designed to only
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: help them politically and never consider the well-being of American
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: people and certainly the well-being of law enforcement. And I
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: feel like we're still lucky that something really, really bad
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: hasn't happened.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: This is it. OK, what you just described is the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: reason why I want the Insurrection Act invoked. And now
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be really clear about this. I don't
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: say this lightly. I don't I mean, anybody who's watched
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: me through the years or certainly watched me in this
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: iteration of my career. I've never been flippant about calling
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: for dramatic things. Like in this case, I've never. But
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I am desperate for the Insurrection Act now because I
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: don't know what other recourse we have. It is completely
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: legal to invoke it. It's been done 30 times in
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: American history by American presidents. It's specifically designed by our
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: founders to restore order when an insurrection is going on.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: We've got government leaders in Minnesota who are staging this insurrection.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Todd Blanch just said that at the Justice Department. And
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: then you've got the street protests violence that's going on
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: where now ICE is under attack. It's too much. I mean,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Fahey, do you agree? I mean, is it time?
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Should we invoke the Insurrection Act to restore order here?
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: You're spot on with this.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: And I think what makes it even more sort of
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: worthy of being invoked is the We have the elected officials,
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: the leaders in Minnesota and Minneapolis fighting the federal government.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: If they were sort of working.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: Hand in hand, I could see a scenario where, hey,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: let's try to do something cooperatively. But I saw Todd
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Lyons on Fox News, I think on Sunday, saying because
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: of all that's going on, all the obstruction in Minneapolis,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: they basically need twice as many agents per arrest because
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: they need agents to protect the agents. So yeah, it's
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: tailored for this because you have an unlawful obstruction and
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: it's making the enforcement of the immigration laws impractical. So
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: everything about it's warranted. And I think there's something important
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: to be vindicated here, which is federal law as a whole.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: The president not only has.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: A responsibility on federal immigration law, but there's a federalism
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: principle that if he just lets a state, local activist,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: or a political party essentially veto whatever federal laws they
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: don't like, which is what they're doing here, then he
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: would be not you know, living up to his responsibility
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: and not only enforce these laws, but to send the
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: message that local officials, activists can't just pick and choose.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: What federal laws apply in which cities and which states. So, yeah,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: it's it's time. I think he's been patient.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: And I think if things don't turn around pretty quickly,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to happen.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, though, let me let me just state
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: something really clearly. If an ICE agent gets killed in
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis and And President Trump has not yet invoked the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Insurrection Act. That is going to cost the president politically.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: It will have a real deep and devastating impact on
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: our country. And then all of this midterm conversation that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: we're having, there are going to be people who are
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: on President Trump's side who are so disheartened by that development.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: that they're going to walk away from voting. I'm just
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: telling you right now, and I'm just saying that as
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: a sociological, just basic political science matter. If an ICE
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: agent gets killed and we haven't even used a tool
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: available to us to prevent it, that is not going
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: to be good for any political ambition whatsoever. And the
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: reason I'm even bringing up the politics of this, Jonathan Fahey,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: is because my sense is the reason the White House
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: hasn't invoked it is because they're concerned about perhaps having
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: some sort of political consequence in the midterms. You want
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: political consequences? Let this thing get worse without using the
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: tools in your toolkit.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they see that.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I think President Trump, one of the things that was
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: learned from 2020 was things got out of hand. He
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: let it turn things over and let the states do
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: their thing. We saw how Minneapolis was a total disaster.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I also think your point is good. If they do
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: it now, if there is a negative political repercussion, but
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: then things settle down, that's going to be gone by
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: the midterms anyway.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Everything is always politics. It's always policy. And that's where
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: we get our policy from with the politics. So it
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: is important to basically level set here and say, hey,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: you can protest all you want. You can speak out
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: all you want. But when you get to this world
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: of obstructing and putting people in danger and preventing the
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: law from being enforced, we're in a different world.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: And that's time for the Insurrection Act. And I think,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: you know, J.D.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: Vance is going there today, so it'll be quite interesting
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: to see what he discusses. But I feel like, you know,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: when President Trump does this, if he does it, everyone
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: at least will look at it with the eyes of, hey,
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: he was patient on it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: But you're right. We can't wait for something bad to
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: happen and then react.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: We're at the point now that we know we're on
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: the verge of something really bad happening, and let's cut
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: it off before.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: It does happen.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. So as we start today,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Fahey, we've got news developing this morning that DHS,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the FBI, they've begun to make arrests of the people
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: who invaded that church in St. Paul on Sunday. That
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: is wonderful news. As of the beginning of our program
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: this morning, that's two people that have been arrested. But
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I fully anticipate it'll be a lot more one by
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: one by one. These people who were menacing Christians as
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: they worshipped are now being What's your reaction to that development?
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: I'm very happy about it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: And if you look at this FACE Act, the Biden
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: administration would use it with the people outside.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Of abortion clinics. They were doing nothing violently, but they
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: were still using it. So it's totally appropriate here.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: And one of the things that makes it, a lot
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: of things make it even worse, but you just think
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: we've had shootings in churches during church services. So a
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: lot of these people that were there were probably terrified.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: They're there with their children. and just there to worship.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: And if you were to take this situation and say
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: a bunch of right-wing, say the Proud Boys went into
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: a mosque or went into a black church or went
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: into a synagogue, this would be probably the biggest news
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: story of the year.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: And everyone would be calling for them to be arrested.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: And it's only because it's Christians and they happen to
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: be white that the media is not focusing on this.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: But this is very, very serious.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: And this is also another important law for the president
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: to the administration to vindicate because people should go to church.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: And the purpose of the law is, hey, that's something
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: sacred and we don't allow people to come in and
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: disrupt it and do all these shenanigans they were doing.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Well, the attorney general of the state, Keith Ellison, just
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: said earlier this week that that's kind of expected. That's
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: just the way our democracy works. Like people pour into
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Christian churches and they menace children. That's fine. What would happen,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Fahey? If, let's say, you and I were to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: pour into Keith Ellison's mosque and begin screaming in the
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: face of his imam, what would happen in that scenario?
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone would be locked up. It would be the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: biggest story ever.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Every Republican would be paraded on the national shows to
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: apologize and condemn it. We would have, you know, the
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: standard parade of people, you know, alternating seats on Meet
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: the Press to say, I condemn it. And then the
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: next one will condemn the person for not condemning it
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: more strongly.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: We've all seen that game. And it's so outrageous.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: And did you, I don't know if you saw the
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: other Keith Ellison quote, but he doesn't even understand the statute.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: He said it was exclusively for abortion clinics when in
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: fact there's two prongs, there's two paragraphs, it's clear as day.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't even understand the statute.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: But yeah, this idea that like it's something to be
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: expected in church, actually it's not. And And there is,
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: you know, people have free speech, but what's going on
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: in Minnesota.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with free speech. It has everything
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: to do with obstruction.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And if I could, as we close out, and I'm
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: so thankful that you're here, I want to draw on
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: your legal experience to help people understand how this all works.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: So what ended up happening on Sunday, these people pour
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: into this church and they menace these Christians, all caught
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: on camera. But there are no federal agents inside of
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: the building as this is occurring. That would be the circumstances,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I understand it, where an arrest could be made on
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the spot. But there's no agent there. So what we
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: have is a pile of evidence in front of us.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: So as I understand it, that was Sunday. Then Monday
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: is Martin Luther King Day, which means that a lot
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: of the people who would be involved in prosecuting and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: the court process, the magistrate, there's a lot of people
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: on vacation Monday. Then we get to Tuesday, right? So
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: what ends up happening is I understand it. You walk
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: me through this, Jonathan. You have to basically, as a U.S. attorney,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: you prepare your evidence, then you present it to a
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: federal magistrate, and then you can make these arrests? I mean,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: what was the sequence of events that led to this morning?
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's basically exactly right.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: They probably spent the last few days collecting evidence, interviewing people,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: reviewing these videotapes. And then what you would do, a
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: federal agent would sign an affidavit that would say, I
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: swear under oath that there's probable cause for this offense,
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: and then list the facts that support the offense they're
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: seeking a charge for. And then a magistrate would evaluate
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: that evidence, the affidavit, and decide whether or not to
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: issue a warrant.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: So that's what the delay is. And actually, it's probably
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: pretty quick.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Because if you think about it, what, today, Thursday morning,
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: so they probably got the judge issued the warrant yesterday afternoon,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: would be my guess. And they typically will do arrests
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: in the morning because it's safer. So they did this
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: pretty quickly. But my guess is that's what you said
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: is basically spot on.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: And in fact, it seems like if I look at
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: other recent examples, this may actually be way faster than
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: it normally works for federal arrests. Because, like, for instance,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: there was a guy who threatened to kill J.D. Vance
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: last July at Disneyland. And the Justice Department was just
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: talking about his arrest like a week ago. Like it
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: took that long. And in some cases, Jonathan, does it
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: take what, weeks or months occasionally to actually get that
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: process underway?
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is dependent on the type of crime
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: because some crimes take a long time to investigate to
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: find out what's going on.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: And sometimes they're really short.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Say, for example, there's a bank robbery and you find
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: out who the suspect is, that person will be arrested,
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: taken off the street right away.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: The one thing that's good.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: About this case, meaning not good with what happened, but
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: probably In terms of evidence-wise, there's a finite amount of evidence.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: So probably to review what was available and what's out
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: there isn't that hard to sort of figure out what's
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: going on because you have these statements. I think a
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: woman that made them to Don Lemon beforehand, that basically
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: they announced what their intention was to do, which was
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: to obstruct the service. And so I think in many ways,
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: this is, you never want to say simple because there
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: could always be complications there. but a fairly simple sort
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: of set of facts, and they seem to apply pretty
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: clearly to this statute.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. All right, Jonathan Fahey, thank you. We're big
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: into knowing exactly how these things are supposed to work,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate you coloring the lines for us today.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: As always, thank you, and thank you for your service
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: to our country, Jonathan. Good to talk to you today, sir.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: There he is, Jonathan Fahey, former acting ICE director. He's
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: seen it all firsthand, and I love relying on his
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: expert perspective here. Okay, so... That's the latest on what's
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: going on with the fight in Minneapolis. And again, we'll
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: keep our eye on arrests. I'm refreshing Pam Bondi's X account.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Anything else? Anything else?
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: We got two. We got two to start the morning.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: So we'll wait for three. But let's go. Let's go
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Don Lemon. Maybe Don Lemon will share it on X
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: if he gets access to a phone or something. Maybe
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: he'll use his one phone call to post to X
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: that he's been arrested. One can hope. Okay. What else
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: do we have for you? We actually have so much
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: going on. Jack Smith is testifying on Capitol Hill today.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: That's great. Jack Smith being hauled in to testify. Let's
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: get that guy under oath. Let's cross-examine him about all
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: of his election rigging operations. Additionally, this week, yesterday, we
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: got an interesting fund development. The Clintons, both Bill and Hillary,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: have now been, by the Oversight Committee at the very least,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: They have voted to hold them in contempt of Congress.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: In contempt of Congress, that would be a criminal violation
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: of the law, to be clear. And now that vote
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: goes to the entire Congress and hopefully off to the
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Justice Department for prosecution. One step at a time, ladies
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen. But here's what we got yesterday. This is
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Congressman James Comer with the Oversight Committee right after the
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: vote to hold both Bill and Hillary Clinton In contempt,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: cut five. Here's James Comer.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: Well, thank you for being here. Today was a big
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: day for accountability. I'm very proud of the work the
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: Oversight Committee has done thus far on the Epstein investigation.
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: I'm very happy that we had a bipartisan vote today
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: to hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress. And this
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: shows that no one's above the law. And I'm just
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: real proud of the committee and look forward to hopefully
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: getting the Epstein documents in very quickly and trying to
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: get answers from the American people. With that, I'll be
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: happy to answer any questions.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a big step. He says historic moment.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: They're holding both of these guys in contempt. The left's
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: been bitching about it. You can't do this to a
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: former president. Yeah, thanks.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: You can't. I'm sorry, what? You can't make a criminal
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: referral for a former president? What did you do to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump the entire time he was out of office
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: after his first term? Spare us your whining. The Clintons
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: held in contempt by the Oversight Committee. You heard James
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Comer say this is related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: That makes sense because few people were as close and
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: as friendly and intimate with Jeffrey Epstein as Bill Clinton.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Comer said this week that the Clintons had offered him
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: some measly conversation with Bill. They said, OK, here's what's
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: going to happen. You can come to New York and
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: you can meet with only Bill, not Hillary, only Bill.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: but you can't transcribe anything and it's not going to
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: be under oath. So you want to do that instead?
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Comer said, no, screw you. We're going to actually hold
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: you in contempt because you're supposed to appear before Congress.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: We sent you lawful subpoenas. You gave us the double
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: barrel middle fingers. So now what you, what you get,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: you get contempt proceedings. So congratulations to the Clintons. That's a,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: that's great. That's wonderful. Yeah. So Paul one, two, five, three, uh,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it says, uh, Come on, Vince. You know, the Clintons
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: are above the law. That's their white supremacy. Yes, they're
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: white supremacists. Thank you.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: One more thing. One more thing stacked against them.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, guys, I'm so I have so
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: many stories I could pick from today and I don't
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: even know which one to do. So let me let
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: me do that. You want to do the Save Act chat?
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about the Save Act? Give me
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: give me a vote on this. Do we want to
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: talk about. Elections have consequences. Virginia is turning into a
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: hellhole because Democrats are in charge. Or do we want
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: to talk about the SAVE Act and how to secure
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: America's elections? Give me an answer on this, Chet. Kitty
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: says yes, we should do that. Sure, go for it,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: says Scar, who's just kind of lackadaisically involved in today's program. Yeah,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: I guess so, whatever. The SAVE Act. Okay, all right,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: there we go. Zestlike, is it Zestlike? Says SAVE Act
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: with multiple exclamation points. Okay, good, all right, we'll do
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: SAVE Act. All right, here's what's up. You know, right now,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: to vote in an American election, you're supposed to be
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: an American citizen. That's actually, I believe they would refer
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: to that as the law and the Constitution of the
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: United States. In order to vote in our elections, you've
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: got to be an American citizen, okay? And the crazy
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: thing is, there is no requirement to certify that somebody's
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: a citizen when they register to vote. None. There's no
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: requirement for it. And so the states, many states don't
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: even bother to check if you're actually an American citizen
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: when you register to vote. Now, the precondition to voting
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: is being an American citizen. So do the math on that,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: would you? That is obviously ripe for grotesque. fraud in
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: a world where the left has imported people by the
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: tens of millions into our country who shouldn't be here,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: many of whom have registered to vote via the driver's license,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: motor voter operations, anything. We need to clean up our
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: election system. President Trump's been trying to do it in
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the form of the census. He wants to just verify
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: who's a citizen and who's not so that we can
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: apportion representation in the House and in the Electoral College
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: appropriately and legally. The left continues to try and cover
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: that up entirely because they love rigging elections and they're
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: using human bodies to do it by importing illegal aliens.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: And then when it comes to voting, you've got to
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: be an American citizen. So the United States House of
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Representatives has now passed. Two times. a piece of legislation
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: called the SAVE Act, which would require that when registering
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: people to vote, that states get documentary proof that the
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: new voter is an American citizen. It's very straightforward. These
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: are very straightforward things. You know, this is, you know,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: you ever tried to buy a house? Forget buying a house.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to rent a house? Do you
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: know how much documentary proof you need to bring with
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: you in order to demonstrate that you're actually going to
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: be able to pay your bills? The whole thing is like,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: it's like a colonoscopy. But to register to vote, you
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: have no proof whatsoever. Come on. So prove that you're
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: an American citizen. So this thing has passed the House twice.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: But it hasn't passed the Senate. It has not passed
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: the Senate. Now, why is that? Now, Senate Republicans, insofar
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: as they'll talk about this at all, they'll tell you, well,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: there's a 60 vote threshold for the filibuster and Democrats
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: keep filibustering it. So we can't get it across the
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: finish line. Sorry about that. It's just that that pesky
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: old filibuster. And then some Republicans, they'll even dance away
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: from it. They'll say things like, you know, I don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: think that the federal government should really be involved in
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: telling people how their election system should operate. Let's just
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: leave that up to the states. The feds should not
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: be involved at all, they will say. In fact, that
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: is precisely the argument that Chuck Grassley just made. Chuck
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Grassley just made this argument. in a constituent services letter
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: when somebody wrote in asking about whether or not he
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: would support the SAVE Act. And Scott Pressler shared this
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: earlier this week. Check out this letter. It's a letter
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: from Chuck Grassley back to this constituent. And in it,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: it says, thank you for taking the time to contact
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: me with your concerns regarding election integrity. As your senator,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: it is important to me that I hear from you.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: This was sent two days ago, January 20th. This was dated.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: And in the letter, it says, I do not believe
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: that Iowa and other states need politicians in Washington, D.C.,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: dictating and controlling how states run their elections. First of all,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: if you go to the election clause of the Constitution,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it says outright that the states are the ones who
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: set up the election system, but that Congress may intervene
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: in order to establish what the rules are. Well, here's
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: a rule. verify that the voters are citizens. That's a
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: good rule. So it's entirely constitutional. So dancing away from
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: this as if it's somehow extra constitutional or not appropriate,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: that's insane. And so why does Chuck Grassley send a
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: letter like this? This letter goes out and instantly everybody's
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: concluding that, hold up, Chuck Grassley is saying he opposes
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: the SAVE Act? I'm sorry, what? That's crazy to me.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Why are you opposing the SAVE Act? Then we get
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: this update. Chuck Grassley posts to his ex account yesterday
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: the following after he got all the incoming from you
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: and me. He writes this. Don't believe everything you read
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: on the Internet. I'm not opposed to the SAVE Act.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: In fact, I have been fighting alongside Iowa Secretary of State.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Is it Pate or Pate? P-A-T-E. Secretary of State P-A-T-E
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: to hold Biden admin accountable for their hiding immigration claims.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: citizenship voter data in 2024 election elections must be secure
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: with only citizens voting now i want you to stare
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: at that that post for a moment if you're watching
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: on video he says i'm not opposed to save act
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: what does that mean i'm not opposed i didn't ask
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: if you were not opposed i asked are you for
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: it Are you for it? Being not opposed is not enough.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: What are you, dithering on the question of whether or
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: not only citizens should register to vote? How about say, yes,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I'm enthusiastically for the SAVE Act, and I'm going to
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: move heaven and earth to get it passed because our
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: elections truly matter, and I want to be on the
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: front lines of defending them. How hard is this? Why
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: do we need this kind of Washingtonese? I'm not opposed. Well,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: then what are you exactly? And this whole thing about
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: the filibuster that I just referenced, 60 votes, 60 votes
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: is what we need. Sorry, we don't have enough. Even
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: that is a lie. For those of you who have
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: been with me for a while, you know that we
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: had Rachel Bovard, a Senate expert, come on this program,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and she explained really clearly, we don't even need a
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: rule change in the Senate. You know that, right? We
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: don't even need a rule change in the Senate right now. Yes,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the silent filibuster is an impediment to saving our country
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: at the moment, but it's not completely in the way.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: If 51 senators showed up to the floor of the
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: United States Senate today, they could pass anything they wanted.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: You heard me correctly. If 51 human bodies showed up
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: and all voted in the same direction on the floor
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: of the Senate right now, nothing would stop them. Do
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Democrats have things that they could try and use as barriers? Yeah,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: they have the speaking filibuster that they could try to employ.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: And then they would talk until their bodies give out.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: But at that moment, that's when 51 Republican senators could
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: actually pass the SAVE Act. The silent filibuster doesn't get
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: in the way of that. We just need people to
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: actually do their jobs. Chip Roy, who is the sponsor
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: of the SAVE Act, God bless him for it, Texas
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Congressman Chip Roy, he explained that this week to the blaze.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Watch this. Cut six. Here's Chip Roy saying, just get
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: them into the Senate.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Look, you alluded to it.
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: The Save Act. You've heard the president say we must
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: get it signed into law. You've heard Elon Musk championing
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: the Save Act. You've heard virtually every Republican talking about
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: the Save Act. I drafted that bill in the middle
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: of the president's election in 24 because I was worried
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: about what we needed to do. We passed it out
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: of the House. Chuck Schumer jammed it up. And we
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: need to move it through the Senate. And we can
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: do that. Mike Lee has been very good going out
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: and talking about this issue. I've leaned into this issue.
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: We can force the Senate to have to talk if
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: they want to shut the Senate down. In other words,
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: right now, they say, oh, the threshold's 60. That's not true.
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: If you have 51 people on the floor of the
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: Senate doing their job, they can demand a vote on
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: any measure. If people want a filibuster, they can, but
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: they'll have to stand up and talk and keep talking.
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: You have to force a talking filibuster. The only thing
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: between us and passing any measure at 51 votes in
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: the Senate is the will to do it and having
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: the 51 votes.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: That's it? That's all it takes? Guys, all it takes
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: is senators doing their jobs. How difficult is this? You've
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: got to show up to work every day. How about
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: these senators show up to the well of the Senate
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: and actually vote to save our country. It is literally
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: as simple as that, which is why I am calling
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: for a Senate sit-in. I posted about this yesterday on X,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: and I think people were under the impression that I
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: meant that American citizens need to sit inside of the Senate,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: and that might be a perfectly good protest move, but
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: here's what I'm actually referencing. It's time for United States
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: senators who believe in saving our country to to begin
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: putting their asses in their seats inside of that room
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: until they reach the 51 they need to pass the
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: SAVE Act. Senators like Mike Lee have been heroic in
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: trying to push the SAVE Act. You wanna take that
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: heroism to the next level? Begin the Senate sit-in. Begin
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: sitting in the seats that American taxpayers have paid for
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: for you until we get enough people into that room
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: to pass the most common sense election integrity law even conceivable.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: American citizens only when you register to vote. That's it.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: It's time for senators to do their jobs. It's time
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: for them to stop hiding behind these ridiculous excuses. It's
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: time for them to actually step up because we have
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: a country to save. It shouldn't just be us from
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: the outside saying that. It should be you from the
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: inside saying that. Do it.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Do it.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Chip Roy is right. Rachel Bovard is right. This is essential.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: It has to happen. And President Trump, if you don't mind,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: would you join us in this push? When you get
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: a chance, when you get back to America, I look
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: forward to the Truth Social post. I'll be back with
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: you on the big national radio show today. We've got
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: a lot to get to. President Trump's trip to Davos
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: has been historic. We've got a lot to cover there.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: We've got the Jack Smith proceedings, all of the arrests
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: that the FBI is making today and that invasion into
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: the church. We've got what else do we have? We
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: have a JD Vance's trip to Minnesota. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: there's so much to talk about. I'm going to do

  Speaker 3: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: That is it. This is not a football game. If
