Bulwark Takes - BREAKING: MN Shooting Victim IDed, New Video of Incident

Episode Date: January 24, 2026

Tim, Sarah and Andrew react live.

Hey, everybody. We are back live with the latest in the second federal agent shooting, killing of a citizen in Minnesota. We have a bunch of additional information since we dropped off last, and Andrew Eger has joined us off of the Morning Shots newsletter. Just I want to mention a few things, and we'll get everybody's reaction, and then we're going to give you guys also some highlights from the Greg Bevino press conference, where he just offered some pretty insane lies about the CVP and ICE murder in Minneapolis. First, we have learned that the man that was killed, the victim, is Alex Preddy. He's a nurse.

So we have an ID of the victim. Donald Trump has posted a totally insane social media posts, talking about how the victim's gun was loaded and ready to go. He asked, what is that about, as if that's not allowed? anymore in this country. You're not allowed to have a gun, apparently, according to the president. But most shockingly, we do have a new angle of this killing.

And earlier I gave everybody a trigger warning when you talked about the first video. But that was from a distance. This is much, much more graphic. And so I just do want to warn you. It goes on for a little bit. And so make a choice. Whether you want to watch this or not.

But this is a video from the opposite vantage point. We can see a lot more about what happened before these agents killed Alex Preti. So let's watch that. Then we'll get Sarah and Andrew's reaction on the other side. Okay, so that's him right there. He's basically directing traffic. Right now he's filming. The agent pushes that woman, sprays him in the face, continues to spray him in the face.

That's enough. I want to shout out Drop Sighton. news that acquired that video, Ryan Grimm was on this channel a couple weeks ago. Andrew, let's get your initial thoughts. Okay. I think it's important just to dwell again on what DHS first said about this shooting before this second angle came out. Their first statement on this was an individual had approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a semi-automatic handgun. They tweeted out a picture of that. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect with the armed suspect violently resisted.

More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming, fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers and agent fired defensive shots. The suspect also had two magazines and no ID. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. That was an implausible statement just from the first angle. It is completely obliterated by what we just watched. It's just all right there on camera. The guy who is eventually shot is not involved with the initial altercation that gets the DHS officers there, the Border Patrol agents there, hot and bothered. They are mad at a couple of women who then kind of fall out of the shot.

One agent pursues one woman across the street, shoves her down. She falls over in the ice. The man who now becomes the victim, this nurse, he then puts his body in between the agent and the woman that the agent just pushed down. His arms are straight up in the air. He is not engaging in an altercation with him in any way. But, I mean, it really does look like his last, like, deliberate act alive on the earth is to try to kind of shield this woman who has just been shoved down by this Border Patrol agent.

The guy then goes for his pepper spray. Pepper sprays the woman. Pepper sprays him. At this point, this is before he's even on the ground. He's incapacitated. She's incapacitated. They are all – they've been pepper spray. then they all pile onto him and start to arrest him.

He's kind of like, you know, it seems like maybe he's resisting to a certain extent. Maybe he's just not sure what's going on. He just got a faceful pepper spray. At some point, they then discover that he has a gun. So, again, DHS claimed that he kind of approached these agents with a gun. Complete lie, complete bullshit, utterly invented. He's on the ground, already been pepper sprayed, and they're on top of him. they discover he's got a gun.

In this video, you can see even more clearly the moment at which one agent takes his gun out of his holster. He never reaches for it himself. An agent takes it away. And then another agent shoots him however many times he does. And that's the whole thing. I mean, it's just like that's what do you say? Before I go to you, Sarah, I want to just play the key part again without the beginning and the traumatizing aftermath. So I just want to start here at the moment where the woman gets pushed that he then tries to get in between.

I want to watch that one more time and then we'll get your take. What's wrong with you? What fuck is wrong with you? Honestly. I mean, you can, anyway, as Andrews said, the last thing he does is try to help that woman that gets pushed down. And then you can see his hands on the ground. Like he's not grabbing for a weapon. But Sarah, what's your take?

So Jason Miller? and Bovino in the press conference that I just watched and Donald Trump, they are all lying about what just happened. It is the same thing with Renee Good. Only I got to say, this seems infinitely clearer out of the gate. And it's because watch, we don't need to watch it again, but we just watched it twice. That Border Patrol agent pushes that woman with such force that she goes down.

And what he's doing is trying to help her. He's trying to like pick her. And then they pepper spray him once. And then they pepper spray him again at such close range that what is clearly happening is he's blinded. And now as six officers jump on him, he can't see anything. He doesn't know what's happening. Right. So imagine the panic.

Imagine the way that your body's reacting to being blinded and then shove to the ground. And then it's very unclear because now you're in the scrum. and as somebody's going to slow it down and we're going to be able to see why somebody pops off and shoots him, but I know from a different angle that somebody was also either pistol whipping him or hitting him with something in the head. So like this guy's not a threat. But here's the same guy, by the way,

sorry, real quick. It's the same guy who provoked the whole altercation is the guy who's sitting there pistol whipping him in the head. You can tell it's the same ICE or the same DHS agent there. So just just listen to this Stephen Miller thing. He says, a domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement. And this is your response. That's what he said.

A domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement. That is not what happened. It's not even close to what happened. No. Again, the person that got killed was videoing and then trying to protect a woman that got pushed to the ground. Like, that's what happened. So he did not confront them. Frankly, actually, you know, if you look at the still,

I'm like looking at these still screenshots of it, he gets like drug back into the scrum, right? Yes. So, you know, when you talk to help her. Yeah, he's trying to help her. And then he gets a drug into the scrum where he ends up dying. So like, it's not as if he's trying to help her and then they come after him. and then he like goes back at them right like they pepper scram in the face he goes down and then they drag him over

and then you could not you could not imagine you you literally could not sit down and like draw up a script for a less justifiable police shooting and the fact that they are willing to jump straight to the same playbook straight to the same this was a domestic terrorist trying to assassinate cops i mean it's it's every it's every i mean that's everything right i mean there there is no have an all right there on video that everybody can see. There is no ice killing that they would not reach for this justification for

if they would reach for it for this one. I mean, it's just that ice could kill anybody and this is what they would say. Yeah. I mean, this guy has his gun out. The killer has his gun out. Like, way early. So again, it's not, again, I'm just, if you're just trying to imagine like

other possible justifications, like he gets in the scrum and he goes to grab for his weapon and the guy freaks out, No, like the guy has his weapon out already while they're dragging him. If you look at the, you know, slow motion stills of this video. And then we showed in the first live stream, the fact that he then keeps shooting him when he's dead on the ground after everybody has dispersed. Like that's what you see from the other angle, right, that the guy is still unloading his clip after he's already on the ground. I mean, it is just, like, there is nothing even in the ballpark of defensible and understandable to this.

And for the federal government to come out and immediately lie about this and immediately try to make this person into a terrorist, like, they are, they want more. Like, this is like, it is an escalation response. Like, the local officials to a level that I think maybe was even maybe overdone, focused on people. you know, like do not go to the scene, do not escalate. We want peaceful protest. We're not, you know, we want this to end. And the federal government's doing totally the opposite. To that point, we should let's watch. We have the videos I mentioned earlier of Greg Bovino and his, well, whatever, fuck it. Just let's just watch it. During this operation, an individual approached U.S. Border Patrol agents with a nine millimeter semi-automatic hand

gun. The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots. Medics on the scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject, but the subject was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two loaded magazines and no assessment. ID. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage

and massacre law enforcement. What? This fucking guy. Maximum damage and massacre law enforcement? He wanted to massacre law enforcement? Well, then why did his... What was he videotaping with his right hand, with his shooting hand? He's trying to massacre law enforcement?

What the fuck? It is, it is, it is an atrocious, cynical, abominable lie that we could all see as untrue. And you can also understand after what happened with Renee Good, people are going to these protests likely ready to defend themselves, although this guy was not, he wasn't, he never got a chance to defend himself. They jumped him. And so like the idea, the way that, that, that, that, that, Vino and Trump are acting like the fact that the guy had a gun, especially for all these. Second Amendment lovers out there that him possessing the gun, and that was carefully worded.

If you listen to Bovino, it's carefully worded. He's not brandishing a gun, but he had a gun, right? But we can all see, this is what is so outrageous about them. We can all see that he's lying. We can all see that there's not a gun in that guy's hand. If it's in his pocket and he never got it, and he was already down on the ground and already pepper sprayed in the face, what's your self-defense? Yeah, no, there's none. It's just, it's an absurd lie and it's enraging and I'm having trouble containing my rage just thinking about it right now. And it goes to, we have another clip, but Andrew, I want to get me and JV, I'll talk to this earlier, but I want to get your take on this as well. Like, the whole premise that this is a justified execution of the state is that just having a weapon with, with multiple magazines is, pretextual justification for murder now on the street like these people that for our whole lives in you know kind of the movement conservatism talking about how important it is that we have our second amendment rights so that if the governor the government infringes upon us you know we can

protect ourselves from a tyrannical government now the tyrannical government is saying that just having a weapon legally uh we learned earlier this is a permanent weapon having a permanent weapon is enough to justify execution. Yeah, I'm sure I don't have anything to say about this that JV didn't already say earlier. But I think all the people who said it's so important that we have these weapons, they meant it. But they meant we, they meant us. They meant, you know, our kind of people, which now is basically MAGA. It's okay for MAGA to, you know, open carry into the Capitol and, you know, ransack it.

And if anybody shoots somebody who's done this, you know, that's completely unjustified. murder of Ashley Babett or whatever, but if any of them, if any of them ever have a gun at any point in time, even if it's just sort of, if it's totally legal and they're not committing any crimes and they're just, you know, if they happen to have a gun on their body, that is a pretext for for them to be shot. I do think it's important to dwell on, like, the narrative from DHS here, and like, I almost feel like it justifies it more than it deserves to like go chapter and verse through all the specific ways in which it's lying. But the idea that like the gun was, part of the altercation from the beginning at all. Like, nobody knew he had a gun until about five seconds before he died. It's in a holster at his waist. It's in a holster at his waist. And it's not until he is on the ground, you know, like on all fours, which the act of them dragging him to the ground there, like hikes up his clothes.

Then all the agents can see he has this holster. One of them grabs it and another one kills him. Like, that's, that's all that happened here. Can we, can we, can we? I just want to draw on this one more second. I hate to do these stupid counterfactuals, but like, I'm just looking at this Trump truth post again. And like, the fact that he just leaves this picture up of the gun like there, and it's

just like the gunman's guns loaded, what's that all about? And like, just imagine the NRA backlash if this had been Barack Obama, right? Like, blaming it on the victim having a gun. you know, just utter, like, who knows, what kind of like violent pandemonium and a run on gun stores and bullets being purchased and all this stuff. They're going to use, I think about all this shit

we had to go through at every school shooting. This was a false flag because they want to take our guns. They're going to blame the guns on everything. And here we have this president blaming a guy for being a lawful carrier of a firearm. Hey, Tim Walls is talking. Okay, let's go to Tim Walts. Can we get more volume on that?

Can you guys hear it? Minnesota National Guard. Well, as I said last week, this federal occupation of Minnesota long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Well, we're working on the volume here. We're going to get to Tim Walz in a second. But can I dwell for just one more second on Trump's tweet? Because I feel like we haven't even given, done this just. He says, this is the gunman's gun loaded. What's that all about? And then he says, where are the local police? Why weren't they allowed to protect ICE officers? The mayor and the governor called them off, question mark. So he immediately pivots to blaming walls and chicken fry for what happened. And then two sentences later, why does Ilhan Omar have $34 million in her account? And where are the tens of billions of dollars that have been stolen from the once great state of Minnesota? We're there because of massive monetary fraud. We want the money back. We want it back now.

much of what you're witnessing is a cover-up for this theft and fraud. The mayor and the governor are inciting insurrection with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric. I mean, he could, he's not even pretending to care even like a tiny little ounce about this thing that happened today. Trump sees these shootings as these, like, little speed bumps. Like, can we please? He's begged people. He's like, why is everyone paying so much attention to the protests when they should be paying attention to the fraud? Like, he's mad that these things make news.

I don't know. Like, it's a complete abdication of, like, the president of the United States, not only blaming everybody but the people who actually pulled the trigger, but also just, like, having this intense posture of what a drag it is that we have to focus on this at all. Like, how come you people care so much that my masked agents are gunning you down in the streets? Wouldn't you rather, like, wouldn't you rather be mad about Somali fraud? You know, like, I mean, it's just his complete, not only his unwillingness,

but is like incapacity to like have a basic human reaction to any of this. It's like weirder to me almost than like the pure propaganda stuff that comes out of Miller and Pavino. I don't know. It seems like the audio she's actually in the room with Walls. So we're going to try to work on that. But Sarah, do you have anything on that? I do one other Bovino clip that we have pulled up. Let's do the Bovino trip.

Although I'm pretty interested in walls. I mean, I can hear it if I turn it up really loud on my headphones. So let's watch Bovino and then maybe we can come back and try to get walls again. There's a question from a journalist about whether the person had pulled the weapon. Again, this situation is evolving. This is under investigation. Those facts will come to light. But let's take a look at the gun.

You can see the gun here on the screen there that that individual possessed. Possessed. Possessed. That's the problem. Like he seems even too ashamed to try to try to actually. to like this, you know, the, he doesn't use the word brandish, you know, or pointed, possessed. Or he reached for, I mean, yeah, yeah, at no point did he, yeah. And I'll tell you, I watched that whole press conference with Bovino.

He does, he's not ashamed. What he does is he's like, everybody, look, we've got a picture there. Like, their defense is going to rest on the fact that the guy had a gun, not brandished, not used, not anything, but just that on his person, he was carrying a gun. gun, which, you know what? I'm sorry, but this is actually a pretty perfect instance of the only way to stop bad guys with guns. Actually, we're alive.

I don't know. I just... I got this while you calm down. Here's something to fire you up even more. We have a U.S. attorney for the Central District of California. He looks like he's about 12, so I don't know. They're not hiring their best. But he posted this.

if you approach law enforcement with a gun, there's a high likelihood they'll be legally justified in shooting you. Don't do it. Spokes from the federal... That's a Republican state's attorney. Excuse me, federal attorney. Saying that now their rule is if you possess

a weapon on your person legally and you, I guess, walk towards law enforcement, they can kill you now. Or if law enforcement walks toward you, brutalizes a woman in your area, pepper sprays you, and just grabs you because you're there. That is also grounds. Truly insane. Do we have anything from

from walls at this point? Look, that's why we wait for walls. Why don't we talk about this? What are you wanting to hear from him at this point? Neither of you. I would like him to call for other Democrats to join him and and Republicans. Anyone of good faith, help us get these people out of our city. They are creating chaos. They shouldn't be here. And they're, and they're hurting people. Andrew, do we need more than that? No, that's good. I mean, he, I do think that these leaders have no choice, but to continue to call in no uncertain terms for calm and peace in the streets. Donald Trump wants this to turn into Kenosha again, like 2020 George Floyd riots. And he wants people to see like the alternative to his masked authoritarian secret police as like chaos and burning buildings and stuff.

And it hasn't been, and hopefully it won't be. But, but I don't know, it's all so. I think we have audio now of walls. The question is going to be about whether he does anything with the National Guard. He's not going to do anything in this press conference. I think that'll be the question that you over on the other side. Let's listen to Tim Walls. Those resources include the Minnesota State Patrol, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the Minnesota National Guard. With that, we'll stand for questions. And Colonel, Carolina, Governor, you've made this request before. Is there any reason to leave that you'll be answered differently?

Have you had any conversations with the president, with the federal government, and is there any indication that they are going to pull out our back now? Well, I spoke twice this morning shortly after I received the call of this shooting. I spoke with the President's Chief of Staff. And first request was to get her. people out of there to get these federal agents out of there if they were going to uh to cause more chaos and second call is with no uncertain terms that we will investigate this we will not be stonewall what we've already seen and you saw it this morning before any investigation is done you have

the most powerful people in the federal government spinning stories and in putting up pictures and unrelated people who we don't know anything about and a picture of a picture of a firearm to try and spin a narrative. And I just, I ask Americans, this will end when enough Americans say this will end. Do I have any confidence Donald Trump will do the right thing? No, I don't have a lot of confidence. Donald Trump will do the right thing. I do have a lot of confidence that the majority of the American people will do the right thing. And I think there cannot be very many people across this country looking right now after all the reporting that's been done, after everything that's been said under the pretense that they are here about immigration reform

and quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement. We have law enforcement who do an incredible job. And to listen to Greg Bovino, denigrate the work of our people who are out there cleaning up their mess. No, I don't have a lot of confidence that he himself will do it. But here's what I do have confidence in. There's a whole lot of Republicans for whatever reason cannot find their spine. But they might find the ability to know that they're not going to to win another election as long as they live unless they stand up for what's right and stand up for the rule of law and stand up for human decency and that's the moment no it's a good question and then if that is not the case what are the people of minister are supposed to do who are in the middle right now because if they're stonewall and yeah it's a good question and then look i i speaking to the people of minnesota right now i i hear that scream from you and i'll continue continue to plead and ask you for peace.

And I know, I know the answer is you ask us for peace and we give it and we get shot in the face on the streets coming out of a donut shop. We cannot give them what they want. I don't know how to stay this in so many terms to watch the madness that we've witnessed over this last week coming out of the White House and what it's doing here. My confidence is, and I say it to Minnesotans, as I've said, exercise your First Amendment rights. speak out, bear witness and document legally. But I understand the risk in that. And I understand the courage that it takes to have people out there doing this. Thank God.

Thank God. We have video. Because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies. So my confidence is this, Minnesotans. You know who you are and you demonstrate it every single day and we damn sure know who these people are. The American public knows and this needs to be the event that says enough.

Go ahead. No, I'm put front. The governor across the federal government team is an abdication. You know the Renéco shooting, the ACA said that they were locked from accessing evidence. Has there been any suggestions that the CIA is not allowed to do this investigation? Do you have officers on the ground? Do you have an opportunity on the ground? The question was related to whether or not the BCA is on the ground currently with the investigation and a reference to previous investigations of the BCA have attempted to be a part of.

What I'll tell you right now is that we no longer have BCA agents or public safety, State Patrol, or Minneapolis on the ground at that crime scene. What I will tell you, and not to get further into the investigation, but DHS pulled out of the scene, leaving that to, Minnesota State Patrol, Minneapolis. We did not have enough resources to be able to hold that ground safely. And we had to leave that scene because of the number of people that were available in the safety of those in the public

and the safety of our of our teams. We were able to get there, but at that time, we're not able to hold that scene to do a crime scene investigation. I can't talk anymore about those details. If not your test nor state official right now. We'll have more on that, but the BCA is engaged and involved, and we are working at the request of the Minneapolis Police Department on this, on the scene and in this investigation.

So we are there, we're available. We want to make sure that we continue to work on this and engage with our federal law enforcement, but at this point, we don't have anything more to share about the crime scene. Again, we were not able to hold it. We want to make sure and keep people safe, but federal law enforcement left the scene and left us there. Governor Ernesto,

how do you have to you tell us whether they're going to be single? Yeah, yes, the answer is yes, we have, as we said last week, and we staged those troops. I'll have General Manky talk about where they're at, and again, use this as an opportunity to stress the Minnesotans. The frustration you have, and as you saw this, they killed a man, created, chaos, push down protesters through gas indiscriminately, and then left the scene, and then

we're left to clean up. I understand the anger. I understand trying to parse who were the law enforcement on the scene when you got there after a man was killed is difficult for folks are out there. But I can't stress enough. Our goal, and I'll have General Minkie talk about what the role of these guard troops are in conjunction with incredible work from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office from mutual aid across and, of course, the State Patrol of trying to get to the point where what we're saying is we can handle this and minnesota can express her first amendment rights and have our folks on the streets and get these people out of here and so john if you want to talk a little bit but the answer is yes there's activated he can talk you about

numbers yeah so so the question is what's the national guard doing right now so we have you know we have been on state active duty for over a week uh so we've had soldiers prepared in the metro area to respond in a much rapid manner than if they were not mobilized. So we have a request from the Hennepin County Sheriff to support them, and that is to help them free up additional resources for other work that they need to do. And we have started coordinating with them this morning on that. And that first area of support will be assisting them with their requirement to provide security to the Whipple building. So we'll be helping them there. And then we are in parallel planning with other organizations within the state of Minnesota to include the state patrol, the Minnesota DNR,

and other local agencies to render assistance if requested. I would say that the number that we have is out for the requests that we have right now. And I will also tell you that we are bringing more resources that will be able to respond in a timely matter that are not fully mobilized yet, but we are mobilizing more soldiers as we talk at this time. I'd like not to get into specific numbers for an operational security standpoint, but right now we have all the resources to meet the requests that we have. I would note on this one, too, that we'll be billing the federal government for the cost of the National Guard because they are incurring the costs that are falling on us by their reckless actions.

Yes, sir. Hey, guys, I just want to talk about that National Guard answer for a second, and then we're going to get up a different feed for people. But just briefly, I think that was the big question about this press conference that they just answered right there. They said the National Guard is activated. One of the things that they're going to do is use it to protect the Whipple building. And so to me it seems like kind of an intermediary step when it's like we're activating it. It was more talking about how they're going to work with local law enforcement than protect from federal law enforcement.

That I think is a big showdown question that comes. Do you guys have anything on that before we go back to the press conference? I mean, it's a little of both, right? I mean, like the subtext of protect the Whipple Building, which is, my understanding is that is the ice staging ground in the area, right? So, I mean, the idea is like, get those guys out there, have them be doing the perimeter stuff, not have ice and DHS themselves be the ones who are out there in the street clashing with protesters and things like that. I mean, that seems like it could be useful for that for that purpose. Let's go back to Walsall. We continue to hear the vice president that, that the.

these folks can do whatever they want. They can have full immunity. And what I'm telling you is they will not. There will be justice to Minnesotans continue to gather the information. So I won't say where it is because I think it's irresponsible to make that judgment. But what I see with my eyes

and what you're going to see with your eyes makes that pretty hard to believe. And I would imagine as a federal officer, they would have come out and sounded like these professionals sound and say we need to gather the information. We need to gather all the facts. We need to put them forward and then we can make some informed discussion based on the fact. They've written the narrative already and the audacity to critique the police chief of Minneapolis

after what work that those heroic officers are trying to do and to be critiqued by this guy. I mean, I don't know. I've said it a lot, but America, as you're listening, enough is enough. Enough is enough of this. End this. And we see them moving to Maine. if you're in Boston, you're in Chicago, you're in Philly, you're in Miami, it doesn't matter. We can't live like this.

Our children are in trauma. A five-year-old, use of the picture, the bunny hat and the Spider-Man. These are not like some narrative to throw around, to parade around in some coat you had made and act like you're a tough guy or whatever. These are people's lives. And we have rule of law. So I'll let the investigation play itself out. We will do our best to find it. But I don't know.

You kill them. and then you just leave your law enforcement, just leaving? Is there a single case in America's history where you just like walk away and say, I guess that just happened and we're not going to clean up our mess? I'm proud of the, I'm proud of Minnesotans.

I'm proud of law enforcement here and our partners and we'll get to the bottom of it. I think we have time for another one. Commissioner. Brini Arno with KSTV Channel 5. Of ICE commander just said in the press conference with any hour that they're calling on state and local law enforcement to quote,

help coordinate to get violent criminals off the street. What's your response to that request? I'm better off to let these guys the confessions. So the question was, what are we doing to assist federal law enforcement on getting violent criminals off the street if I understand the question? State and local law enforcement are always ready and willing and able to arrest violent offenders. We do not stand down from that, no matter where we get that information from. If there are violent offenders or violent criminals or violent crimes, we will investigate

and will bring those to justice. If the federal government would like to work with us, to continue to work with us as they have in the past to locate those violent offenders, we are always open to those discussions and always willing to assist. We do not ignore that. We are ready and able, and we do do that. All of you as part of the media hear us arresting violent offenders all the time. not stood down. That is our mission. The federal government is not alone in arresting violent offenders. State and local law enforcement does that every day at great risk to their life, at great risk to the community. We do it because we want to safe Minnesota. And the federal government is not the only one to do that.

Okay. Sarah, I have some things. What is your initial reaction to Waltz there? He seems appropriately outraged. He is demanding that Donald Trump get people out. He's making it clear that they actually the thing I like best was what that guy just said right there. Like the idea, the people who are on these streets are not law enforcement, right? What Waltz is saying and what that other guy is saying like, no, we have law enforcement. We catch dangerous criminals. That is what we do.

That's our jobs. We put our lives in the line every day. That is not what's happening right now. And it isn't what's happening right now. It is not what they're doing. This is like, this is the structure of the administration's lie. And by the way, I was just going through Stephen Miller's feed. This guy keeps calling this guy a wannabe assassin.

Like, they are using the most heated false rhetoric. Like Bovino's saying he was going to do maximum damage. He was there to do maximum damage. They have no evidence of that. This person wasn't brandishing a gun. I just, the extent to which they are lying and which the post, the DHS are putting out are just filled with lies that are instantly repudiated by the video that you watch. Like, you know, there's, I understand they need an investigation. Responsible people should wait

for an investigation. But there is, we have six angles now of this shooting. And we can unequivocally say he did not brandish a weapon at any point. They weren't trying to disarm him. They weren't, in fear for their lives. They weren't doing self-defense. And that was the other part of the remarks that was so remarkable there just just a minute ago is like, yeah, in some sense it would be wise to wait for an investigation. It would be nice to live in a world where we could wait for an investigation and have confidence that, you know, the more people investigate, the more accurate the story is going to get. But we have so much evidence now that that is not the world that we live in right now when it comes to these operations in Minnesota. The role of the federal government in these moments is to circle the wagons and protect the anonymous masked killer. It's what we saw with Renee Good, where, you know, all investigations. into her killing were squashed and in fact the honchos wanted to have new investigations launched into her and her and her family. And it's what we're already seeing here. I mean, that was Wals and the other guy who they had up. They were both talking about that federal enforcement all left the

scene and they left it completely in the care of local police who were not able to secure then the scene. And it's like the idea that even if anybody wanted, even if the federal government, wanted to do a fair and impartial investigation, which they obviously do not. They have already tainted it in 15 different ways. And it's just, I mean, it's, you can't be angry enough about this stuff. It's just, it's really astonishing. Yeah, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack right now. I'm so angry, sort of enough to end this live stream soon, but I do just want to say a couple

of things. It doesn't appear like he takes, he goes for his gun at any point, I guess. In the lead-up, we know he doesn't. Now, we've seen enough angles. The scrum is still, like, I'm still. I don't know. I feel pretty confident that he did not go for his gun in that scrum. It's behind me.

Pretty confident. It's fine. I'm fine. It's pretty confident. I'm like, it's still the scrum is still scrum. Here's one video, though. Here's a slow motion thing I want to pull up here.

Something I didn't catch the first time. Maybe you guys did. And that's the first shot. Let's watch this slow motion. This is first shot here you can see in this slow motion video. So he's still kneeling. Right? Like, they're pulling him over.

Like, they have him. And it's the guy from behind. that shoots him, you know, while he's still in the kneeling phase, before he's laying on the ground and they shoot him 10 more times. But to me, that also just speaks to this. Like, totally insane that the person behind him shoots him execution style while he's kneeling while these other agents. The guy behind him walking away has his gun at that moment, too.

I mean, it's just... Because I think... The guy, oh, I'm sorry, just really quick. That's an important point. The other agent has already taken his gun. He was disarmed. He was disarmed. He's been.

disarmed, the other agent is walking away with his gun, his back is all ready to the scene by the time this guy goes in and shoots him from behind. Look, I know we want to be careful about jumping to conclusions. I want to remind myself to be careful about jumping to conclusions. But what seems to be clear from that is that they realized he had a gun and they shot him because he had the gun. And they thought they could get away with it because he was armed. Or they panicked and they're wussy cowards. You know, like that untrained was he cowards. Right. You know, again, like me and JVL went. over this. It's sort of like, okay, well, we'll see, like, whether this is an intentional escalation or these guys just have no fucking business being there. They're border patrol. They're not trained to do any of this stuff. They're not supposed to be doing interior enforcement operations. Like, even if- There's no reason for them to even be there, right? There's no rationale for them to even be there. They're there. They're massed. They're menacing people. And to this point, and they are the first two

amendments for a reason. And some says the other thing I want to say there. And like, this man that got killed is literally exercising his first and second amendment rights. That's what he gets killed for. like that they killed him for lawfully executing his first and second amendment rights like it should be an absolute outrage anyone who like pretends to care about our constitutional government should be fucking have their blood boiling like sarah is right now as mentioned we know we know the victim Alex Preddy now he's an ICU nurse who worked for the Minnesota VA actually we've learned um some of the things I just want to throw out there The DHS. He went there to help. He went there to help. Like that's why you went, right? The guy is a person who helps people.

Yeah. And he was helping that woman that they pushed to the ground. That was the last thing he did was trying to help that woman that he pushed, that they pushed to the ground before they murdered him. A couple of the things I said to mention before we closed down the stream. According to Carol Lenig, a reporter we've had on DHS, not FBI, we'll be investigating today's shooting. and from a federal government level.

You know, the same people that are out there obvious lies. Yeah. Mark Caputo, our former colleague, asked an interesting question on X I just want to raise for everybody. What agency do we think has the video from Alex Freddie's phone, the victim's phone?

So we have that too. And this goes to how they all handled this. I will know. We will see. I don't want to speculate. But like, they fucking kill this guy. And then run away. A lot of the ICE agents then run away. Like they don't secure the scene. They don't, you know, do the stuff you're supposed to do

where there's a shooting to make sure that investigators can come in. Like, you see one of the guys from the other angle showed in the last live stream, like pull his mask up higher. So, like, you know, people can't see his face. They run away. A couple of ICE cars leave. And then, you know, as we've mentioned, the police then come to try to secure the scene.

And then ICE tries to get the regular, the normal police, the Minneapolis police away. And then, to their credit, they refused to let them. But, you know, who knows what the hell they can? be doing with the various evidence based in that moment. That's a great point, right? That like now they're grabbing his phone the same way that they have tried to use the picture of his gun to represent something that clearly didn't happen, right?

Oh, okay, there's a car somewhere or there's a gun somewhere in a car seat. Great. That does not prove anything. That's not a thing. But, but Tim, it is clear from that video after the, well, some guy just walks up, shoots him and everybody else backs up sort of in a like, oh, oh, no, oh, shit. Like, oh, he's, and then they all just, and Walt said this, then they all just walk away and leave the scene.

Like, like, we're not, and he said, you know, we're here to clean up this mess. They didn't stay with the body. They're not staying to talk to investigators. For all we know, they like went off to make sure that there was, that they put the gun in a car somewhere. They could take a picture and then they walked off with the guy's gun. when we cannot trust our own government. They're making that clear that we can't trust them.

Abundantly clear. Andrew, do you have anything else before we shut this thing down? Oh, man, I'm done. It's just fucking insane. It's brutal. We closed the last one with the same thing. But I just, well, I just want to say two things. One, shout out to the people that are out in the streets protesting Minneapolis right now.

And I hope you continue to do so. And I know that you're doing it at risk to yourself at this point. And so it's important. And we appreciate everybody that's out there. We would not know. We would not know what happened here if it weren't for people there. Yeah. And Bill,

Archagued Bill Crystal, echoed this point that I can have made at the end of the first live show. I just want to say again, but Bill says this, too obvious a point to make, perhaps, but there was no unrest in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up.

Ice and CBP are the cause of the chaos and the killings. Get them out of there. Like, that is what this comes down to for me. Obviously, the video itself is fucking galling and enraging and maddening, but they have no reason to be there, and they should get them out. And our political leaders, or at least any who care about protecting the Constitution

and protecting the American citizens are getting murdered, should be doing everything possible to get them out of there. So I'll leave it there unless Sarah, you have a final thought. Call them out for lying. Do not let them lie to you. They are already telling lies. Like, if, even if something were to come out in an investigation where they could prove under hyper slow mode that the guy's hand was somehow moving toward, I don't know, like, everything that preceded what happened, none of it needed to happen. They pepper sprayed him multiple times in the face after violently pushing a woman out of the way who wasn't doing anything.

that anybody can tell. They have murdered somebody. They are lying about it. And just, I want to reiterate this. Like, I know it sounds corny, but like our hearts are very much with the people that are standing out there. Thank God we have cameras. Because what do you think these people are doing when the cameras aren't on them? Like, there's something about the way that they behave when they know, like the brazenness with which they behave when they know we've got them.

dead to rights on camera lying means that whatever they're doing when the cameras aren't on is a lot worse than this. All right, we'll leave it there. Appreciate everybody. We'll end the last live stream out of an hour ago. We said we weren't going to be live again until tomorrow at noon. So I don't exactly know when we'll be next. We'll be here as news requires. Bill Crystal will be here for sure tomorrow at noon, as he always says on Sundays live. And we'll be keeping you guys posted as we learn more. All right. Appreciate everybody.
