Yeah, I know, you knocked it out. Thank you, was it Wrecking Crew? Reckin Crew, thank you, wrecking crew. Knocked that out years ago. But you know, there's people who are not aware that they should be and I'm telling you to do it. It's a great idea. Okay.

Let's get into some really big things that have developed in the last 24 hours, which is, of course, what we always do on this program. The vice president of the United States, God love him. He shows up yesterday at the White House press briefing with some very important and interesting information. And I want to emphasize something. It's not every day that J.D. Vance shows up in the White House press briefing. Now, I've been advocating for a long time. I think J.D. Vance should do the press briefing regularly. He's wonderful at it.

He's a really talented communicator. he smacks the press around. I love that. But the reason he shows up yesterday is because he has something very consequential and newsworthy to share. And it's as simple as this. There is now going to be a brand new Trump administration prosecutor, Senate confirmed, whose sole job is to crush the fraud that's been taking place in the United States of America. At the hands of Somalis, yes, but certainly at the hands of.

Democrat officials who have run so many of our states into the ground. J.D. Vance, this is not a blue ribbon commission. This is a full-throated effort to destroy corruption. Here's J.D. Vance revealing some of the details yesterday at the White House press briefing. Watch Cut 1. We have actually activated a major interagency task force to make it possible to get to the heart of this fraud. We have Department of Agriculture resources that are focused on SNAP fraud. so that people who need food benefits can get them, but illegal aliens and other fraudsters don't. We have over 1,500 subpoenas that the Department of Justice has issued to get to the heart of the fraud ring. We've done almost 100 indictments, mostly Somali immigrants, but also a few others.

And of course, we're looking in with broad investigatory authority to a number of the instances of wrongdoing that we've seen in Minneapolis. But we also want to expand this. We know that the fraud isn't just happening in Minneapolis. it's also happening in states like Ohio. It's happening in states like California. And so what we're doing in order to help coordinate this remarkable interagency effort from the Trump administration, but also to make sure that we prosecute the bad guys and do it as swiftly and efficiently as possible is we are creating a new assistant attorney

general position who will have nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud. Now, of course, that person's efforts will start and focus primarily in Minnesota. but it is going to be a nationwide effort because unfortunately the American people have been defrauded in a very nationwide way. Okay. So this person has nationwide jurisdiction. So you hear that, I hear that. Here's something I'm just tell you immediately. And I heard this live during the press conference yesterday. We were playing it on the big national radio show. I thought to myself and I said self and I said it out loud actually, this sounds like a special counsel. This sounds like somebody who has broad national jurisdiction to bring these cases all across the country.

country who is going to be much more unfettered than so many of the U.S. attorneys are right now, somebody who can actually do something for the rest of us. And what J.D. Vance announced yesterday is not only are they setting up this new assistant attorney general inside of the Justice Department, this is a unique job because this person is going to report directly to President Trump and Vice President Vance. Let me repeat that. The person that they're tasking with this nationwide fraud prosecution effort is skipping the whole chain of command at the Justice Department. They go right to the president. Now, there's some implications here.

What that means is that the Attorney General of the United States, although she's in charge of the Justice Department, really fundamentally doesn't seem to be in between the president and this prosecutor. This is how seriously the White House takes it. And it's a sign that they don't want any friction whatsoever. They want to slam these fraud prosecutions as hard as possible. So Pam Bondi, a little bit removed from this equation. Yes, she's the head of the Justice Department,

but this is the way they're building this thing. And what J.D. Vance explained yesterday is that this is being done constitutionally and it's designed to not only prosecute the bad guys, but to get them permanently. That's, in other words, to imprison them. Watch cut two. It's actually constitutionally legitimate. As you guys may know, the special counsel statute has some major. constitutional questions. When we get the bad guys, we want to make sure we get them permanently,

and they don't have some legal technicality they can get out of, which is why we set it up as an associate attorney general. Okay. So this is just like a special counsel, except it's actually constitutional. Now, what he's referencing when he says that there are unconstitutional components to the special counsel statute, he's referencing directly that fraud, Jack Smith. Jack Smith was not a legitimate constitutional special counsel. Jack Smith was not confirmed by the United States Senate in that role. And Jack Smith, as a result, was found to be unconstitutional. It was suggested by Clarence Thomas in an opinion that he put together in the United States Supreme Court. And then it was affirmed in an actual federal decision by Eileen Cannon down in Florida who goes, this Jack Smith guy,

he's completely unconstitutional. He's not legitimate at all. And so that whole effort to rig the election using the Biden-led United States Department of Justice was nothing more than a completely tyrannical, unconstitutional scheme that was smacked down by a federal judge. J.D. Vance being a lawyer, he's aware of all of this. And they said, okay, we're going to do this the right way. We're going to have a Senate confirmed person in this role to take down all of this fraud. Now, you, of course, are going to instantly detect one of the issues here. Well, then we need the United States Senate on our side. That's true. We do. Here's the here's here are some of the things to think about. J.D. Vance said yesterday that John Foon, the leader of the Senate, has already assured him that they're going

to move this person very quickly through the United States Senate. Now as I'm saying, I'm talking to you, we don't have a name yet. We don't have a name yet. I'm here to tell you that name will come out very soon. We will have that name soon. We don't have it right now. But you don't send the vice president of the United States out to the lectern yesterday unless they're serious about this and they're moving on it quickly. The vice president says they're moving quickly. John Thune is going to move quickly. He is just assured the White House. And the White House should beat John Thune over the head until he actually does it. No question about it. The other thing, you may be concerned about something like there's freedom shine. I see it in the chat. The blue slip. The blue slip.

consideration. Here's why I'm going to tell you it's not a consideration for this particular job. This job is not a U.S. attorney. The way the blue slip works in the United States Senate, it gives senators in an idiotic way veto authority over a U.S. attorney or federal judge who the president nominates to have that position inside of their state. So when the president of the United States nominate someone to be a U.S. attorney, say, in the Eastern District of Virginia, right now, Tim Kane and Mark Warner have some ridiculous power that they shouldn't have to veto that pick. There's no risk that this happens here. The reason for that is because this person is going to be an assistant or an associate, whatever the title is, attorney general of the United States.

They're not being picked for a state-level position. They're not being picked to go to Virginia or California or New Jersey. They're being picked for the whole country. The blue slip does not apply. convince that consideration. That is a massive piece of this. So yes, of course, as Freedom Shine says, we got to get rid of the blue slip too. No question. How many times have we talked about this? Massive barrier to us seeing the accountability we need. But what the White House is detected and J.D. Vance knows well. He's the United States Senator. He's the President of the Senate. He's also the Vice President of the United States. He now he knows how this system works. He's been demanding that the Senate get rid of this blue slip. He's been demanding to get rid of the

silent filibuster. He's been fighting for those things. But absent them doing that, the White House has crafted a new technique, fine. We'll place somebody that can evade the blue slip entirely and will make them the nationwide prosecutor on fraud. We'll give them jurisdiction over the whole country. This is a very smart tactic. Now, it obviously has to come to pass. We'll keep tracking if it does. But here's J.D. Vance announcing something really big today. I want you to keep your eyes on that because that matters. And vice president, Vance, stepping up to the microphone, matters a lot. Now, in addition to the vice president stepping up to the mic with that information,

we also get him scorching the media yesterday, absolutely carpet bombing the press yesterday, for the way that they have been treating immigration enforcement in the United States. Remember, it was just a few days ago that an ICE officer was attacked by a crazy left-wing chick who got into her Honda pilot and decided to drive it directly into an ice agent. Bad move, lady, because she ends up getting shot and killed. And as I've described all week, an utter tragedy all the way through. You don't want to see anybody get killed here. But these are the consequences of her own actions.

And who led her to take those actions? The demons on the left who think that grooming their own base into this type of violent action is going to work out good for anybody. It doesn't. She's dead because of what they instruct her to do. And J.D. Vance, he laid it out pretty plainly yesterday that the media are doing the country no favors as they lie about this. Cut three, watch the vice president. The way that the media by and large has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day.

What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ice officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car, Six months ago, 33 stitches in his legs. So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile? What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America.

What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to docks, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job. If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth, that a group of left-wing radicals have been working,

tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws. So that wasn't the end of the carpet bombing. He kept dropping bunker busters on the media yesterday. At one point, cut five, J.D. accused the press, including the people in that very room.

He said, not all of you, but definitely some of you, have become the propaganda of a radical fringe in the United States. Cut five years of the vice president. What is, I'm sorry, guys. What's going on here? You guys are meant to report the truth. How have you let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical fringe that's making it harder for us to enforce our laws?

You just asked me a question that presumed that the reason why this woman died is because she was engaged in legitimate protest. She tried to run somebody over with her car. And the guy defended himself when that happened. It's about as simple as it possibly gets. Stop lying. Stop lying. The vice president doing an effective job describing this.

He also said cut four here that this woman's death, as I just pointed out, is a tragedy. It should have never happened. And it is very much. Her blood is very much on the hands of people like tampon Tim Walls and the Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frye and Keith Ellis. in Ilhan Omar, Kamala Harris, all these Democrats who have lied to her. Take a look at this. Cut for. I think what is clearly happening here and it's going to keep on happening unless the Democrats wake up and say, you know what? You don't have to agree with our immigration policies.

You don't have to agree with what the president or the vice president believe about immigration enforcement. But why don't you take this to the ballot box? Why don't you vote? Why don't you organize? Instead, what some of them are doing, what some of them are doing is encouraging people to get violent with our law enforcement officials. It's disgraceful and it's got to stop. Yeah, it's disgraceful. It's got to stop. And they keep doing it, by the way. That just keeps going on and on. And I'll get to that in just a moment. But I want to finish with this clip from J.D. Vance yesterday. He talked specifically about tampon Tim Walls. The great Mary Margaret Ollahan asked the vice president about Tim Walls's behavior and rhetoric in the last few days. Here's what J.D. Vance had to say about

that cut six. rhetoric from a guy who just quit because his fraudulent activities have been uncovered. Look, Tim Walts is a joke. His entire administration has been a joke. The idea that he's some sort of freedom fighter, he's not. He's a guy who has enabled fraud and maybe in fact has participated in fraud. That's what this new assistant attorney general position is going to find out. I don't care what Tim Walt says. I care about getting to the bottom of this fraud for the American people and I care about enforcing the nation's immigration laws. That's what we're going to stay focused on. All right. God bless him for it. I mean, because that really is the mission, isn't it?

The mission is at its course, all this chaos we're seeing that the left is causing all this civil unrest, all of the, well, actually, it's not civil, it's uncivil unrest. It's unlawful unrest. It's violent unrest at the hands of the left. All of this unrest that they're creating right now in our country is designed to conceal, to distract from, and to deter immigration enforcement. They're trying to stop us from getting control of our own country again. President Trump has had immense success in securing the board. in terms of the perimeter of our country. But now he's dealing with the interior. What has to be cleaned up? And the answer is a lot. So President Trump keeps deploying immigration and customs enforcement, border patrol, all of the various DHS law enforcement agencies

to go in and try and get illegals out of our country. And you've got left-wing lunatics who are both obstructing and attacking immigration officers in order to stop that from happening, and then turn around and blame Trump like he's doing something. something evil rather than just enforcing the law. That's what's actually happening right now. And J.E. Vance is saying, we're going to stop all of this. We're going to stop the attacks on ice. We're going to stop the fraud. And we're going to get the illegals out of the country. Good. Double down on that. And by the way, while you're at it, tell the president, invoke the

Insurrection Act. It's time. I mean, we've dealt with enough of this crap. And it's only getting worse, actually. More on that in a moment, the way the Democrats are responding to everything because it's not in any way rational. They're not bringing down the temperature. They're pouring gasoline on the fire that they lit in the first place. More ahead on this edition of Vince. Let's see. I've got Brickhouse Nutrition, great sponsor of our program.

So has the left responded to all this? Well, typically, typically, the same old, you know, utter disaster that they're responsible for in our country. We've got, let's see. First and foremost, I want to tell you about this woman, Renee Good. Renee Good. She's the woman who got in that car and she decided to block traffic before she was shot because she drove her car directly into an ICE officer. We've got new video now that was actually, of all places put out by CNN where they show you some of this surveillance footage. I want to show this to you. When you take a look at this, this is CNN obtained surveillance footage. And in it, what you're going to see, this is a fresh angle. This is from a look, from a look, from a a nearby house, a fresh angle that we hadn't seen yet, and it really clearly shows that this law enforcement officer was never in front of the car to begin with. If you talk to law enforcement officers, one of the things that we've learned all across the country is law enforcement agencies

are advised not to stand in front of cars for obvious reasons. You want to avoid being hit and killed or maimed by them. But this officer was not in front of the car until she backed the vehicle up and turn the car towards him and then she begins accelerating into him. And never has this detail been more clear than this video that was just released by CNN yesterday. This is by the way, that detail not something that they're dwelling on, but we are. Watch. As the vehicle passes, you can see the dark colored SUV driven by Renee Nicole Good. That's on the right there in the back. The surveillance video taken by a home nearby. Agents can be seen milling about near the vehicle. Now watch. You see in the video I'm showing you here, rumble.com slash Vince, she backs up the vehicle. Now an ice agent

suddenly is directly in front of her vehicle. You see this? Look, the vehicle backing up, now the guy's in front of the car. He wasn't standing there to try and stand in front of the car. She pulls the vehicle back and suddenly he's in front of it. He's directly in her sights. And then she accelerates forward. Watch. then converging on it. And then you see right there, the SUV begins to move, and that's when the shots are fired. And she strikes him, by the way. CNN doesn't emphasize that.

Now watch this. This is at half speed, the same video. She backs up. Now he's in front of the vehicle. Then she drives forward. She strikes him. He begins firing. Of course, that bullet goes right through the front window, meaning he was standing in front of the car.

Again, if there was any doubt, let it be erased. Now, prior to this, the video shows the SUV had been stationary and sideways across the road like that for about three minutes. The reason for that is unclear. CNN has a... Now, okay, all right. So that is another massive detail here, this from this CNN reporting. The vehicle was parked perpendicularly on the road blocking traffic for three minutes, not moving at all. In other words, these cops weren't putting themselves, at least at the time, in the vicinity of a moving vehicle.

They were putting themselves in the vicinity of a long parked vehicle. As they had already told her to get out of the way, she refused. They approached the vehicle and they said, get out of the car. And at that moment, as they're approaching, she throws the car first into reverse, puts an ice station in front of her, then forward. And then she accelerates directly into him. He opens fire, killing her. Ladies and gentlemen, this is open and shut. Is it a tragedy?

Absolutely. Is it a tragedy of her own making? Yes. And do Democrats' own responsibility for this? unquestionably. Unquestionably. Here's a little bit more from that CNN video. In some new video, again, it's grainy and distant, but it shows four full minutes leading up to the shooting. Four full minutes. It shows Renee Good's Maroon Honda pilot entering from the right there. Then 20 seconds later, someone gets out on the passenger side. We don't know who or why this person

leaves the car. Yes, we do. That woman is the woman who calls herself the wife of Renee. Good. That's what we know. And in fact, she's caught on camera. saying it's her fault that any of this went down, that she brought Renee there. Renee ends up parking sideways. The quote-unquote wife is capturing video footage trying to turn this into some big drama, and it ends up with this woman dead. We then see her turn and pull perpendicular across the street, seeming to block the way, but as you see here,

leaving room for vehicles to pass by her on either side. Finally, there is this new angle of the federal officer who shot her. He arrives. Another federal SUV pulls up as the ICE officer briefly goes back to his car. Then he returns and with another agent grabbing at her door, she starts to move forward. Again, it's hard to see from this angle. He's alighting details. No, she backs up first, places the ICE officer directly in front of the car, then she moves

forward, striking him. Followed by three gunshots in quick succession. Four minutes in all from start to finish. for all the video that may reveal, it says nothing about why Renee Good was where she was or what she was doing there. And it's- She was blocking ice intentionally. And we've learned a lot about her activities. She was an anti-ice warrior, the New York Post reports. She was a part of something called Ice Watch. Ice Watch. Now, what the hell is that? Ice Watch. It's dedicated to obstructing federal law enforcement, which is precisely what she was doing.

watch. That's what she was up to. She was trained to resist the feds before the shooting, says the New York Post. The mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car towards him and striking him, by the way, was an anti-ice warrior who was a part of a group of activists who worked to document and resist the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The New York Post can reveal. She's a social justice warrior who thought that her war should actually become kinetic and she's lost her life as a result of it. So I love how CNN's pretending like there's just no way to know what she was doing. Yeah, there is.

There's video evidence, documentary evidence. There's all the evidence in the world. There's social media. We know exactly what she was up to. And now she's dead as a result of it. Of course, what ended up happening in the immediate wake of that is that the left went to war. The left decided to start more violence as a result of all of this.

I want you to see this footage. was right in the wake of the attack by Renee Good and as a result, her life being lost. Here is what it looked like on the streets of Minneapolis right after that going into the next morning as well. Move. Chaos, utter chaos in the streets. Pepper spray. Riot control. tactics by immigration enforcement. People attacking their vehicles, smashing their windows.

This is a violent riot at the hands of the radical left. Look at the back of that car is smashed up. They broke the window. And then emotionally incontinent crazies yelling Nazi, Nazi, Nazi. And so that continued. I mean, we ended up getting riots in Minneapolis two nights ago and then yesterday morning. And then we got like dopes, utter dopes just showing up outside of the location where this woman died as a result of her own actions. Here's one video. This is a crazy video. This is the one I had to, I knocked over my coffee this morning watching this video as I was preparing for the program.

I was like, you've got to be kidding me. This is really happening in America. Watch this as you listen to this lady. So I mean, I'm just walking around kind of just dayside. because I got it was like, I don't know if it's the right thing to do. It feels kind of wrong. Being here in some way, I don't know why. I don't know.

I don't know, like, where that stems from. Like, I don't, I mean, part of it is being like a white woman that I'm privileged, and I have a lot of privilege. So I feel like white tears are not always something that's helpful or necessary. when black and brown people have been experiencing this for a long time. Oh my God. This isn't new for them. And so I don't know if that makes any sense in that way.

No, it doesn't make any sense. That's the most psychotic thing I've ever heard. She says that she's there to mourn the attacker, but she feels bad about mourning the attacker, not because she's taking the side of the person who did everything wrong, but instead she's not sure that she can cry about it because she's white and she's hates herself and white people are not allowed to cry about anything in case you're wondering how completely like deluded weak-minded so many on the left are that's an example of it that lady

showed up and she's like in mourning she probably thinks george floyd is a hero it's that's pathetic that really pathetic um but it's also not just that you've got overnight we got new video from nix order showing us that in Minneapolis, an autonomous zone has been set up. An autonomous zone. Do you guys remember autonomous zones? Do you remember what that was? Remember back in 2020 in places like Seattle, the left was setting up lawless zones that were controlled by armed gunmen. It was these guys, they called themselves warlords. There were warlords patrolling these autonomous zones. There was one called Chaz. the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle in 2020,

where warlords would patrol the area, and they were in charge of everything. They destroyed the local businesses. They ran people out of the community. And they piled up garbage to make barricades in order to block traffic from even entering American city streets. Well, the same is happening in a section of Minneapolis right now. This is video that we just got from Nick Sorter,

who was on with us yesterday on the radio show. He did a great interview. And here's what Nick is observing right now in Minneapolis as they do this once again to America City streets. Look at this. Garbage piled up. Signs that say fuck ICE. Ice did this. Get out of our community. Leave ICE. F.U.M.P.D. Rest in peace. Renee Good. F.U. Nazis. attacking Trump. You see what's happening. They're turning this section of Minneapolis once again into a third world country. It's the same story over and over. The left doesn't build. They destroy.

And then they act like they have some sort of moral obligation to do it. This is why I keep saying it's time to invoke the Insurrection Act. It's long past time. We have to break this up. Yeah, thank you. Strayford 289 in the live chat saying, Insurrection Act now. I totally agree. So that's the video footage. It goes on for minutes. I mean, we have like, five minutes of just piles of garbage being used to block America's streets. Those, those people, uh, what, Obama once said? You didn't build that. You didn't build that. You didn't build that. It doesn't belong to you. That belongs to the people of Minneapolis. It belongs to the people of Minnesota. It belongs to the people of the United States.

Uh, you don't, you didn't build anything. You freaks. And, uh, here you are blocking America's streets. It's time to crack down on that, don't you think? Yeah, I would, I would agree. Um, more in a moment about the government officials who are breathing life into all of this. The mayor of Minneapolis thinks everything's fine. In fact, he said it could get so much worse. Just you wait. Okay, we'll get to that. But first, our great sponsors who help our program have an orderly day each day include Goldbelly. You know about Gold Belly? Gold Belly's awesome.

Helixleep.com slash Vince. Thank you to Helix. Thank you for being wonderful. Okay. So they got an autonomous zone being set up now in. Minneapolis, is it not enough for you? Is it not enough for you? The mayor of Minneapolis was on CBS last night with their host, Tony DeCopal. And this is what he had to say about the fact that they've got people chanting against Nazis in the streets of Minneapolis right now and causing all this

violence. He says, oh, it's totally fine. In fact, it could be so much worse. Take a look at this idiot, the Wayfish mayor of Minneapolis. The rhetoric we just heard. Other things you have said, you've now got protesters in the street saying things like Nazis go home. How are you helping the situation calm down? What I appreciate about this situation right now is we in Minneapolis are all singing with one accord.

No, it's idiotic. Which is one, we are going to stand up for our immigrant community. Two, we're going to keep people. These are illegals he's talking about. There's not no immigrant community. These are illegal aliens. They're invaders. They're not immigrants.

in any sense. They're not immigrants. Illegal aliens to our country. We did not welcome them in. They're there illegally and should not be. And this whole day, we're going to stand with them. What a disgusting coward. And that is, by the way, how you should understand this. It's not merely that the left is fomenting chaos because they hope for the destruction of American cities. That's, of course, very cruel. The most simple, understanding of what we're witnessing is, these guys are scared of their own crazy base, too. They're scared of them. And they don't have the testicular fortitude to tell them to knock it off. So what you're witnessing is destructive cowardice. You know this. If you're the head of a household

and you are weak in the face of a threat to your home, that's how it becomes utter chaos for your household, for your family. Because you don't have the strength to fight back. you don't tell people to knock it off. You don't restore peace in your home. And that's what he's doing. He just allows the door to be kicked open. He allows radicals to dominate in his city. And he's too much of a soy boy coward to deal with it.

And so here he is, pretending like, oh, everything's fine. And in fact, it could get even worse. And gosh, I hope it doesn't get worse. Immigrant community. Two, we're going to keep people safe. And three, we're not going to take the bait. If you've watched how a lot of these protests have carried out, this is not some repeat of what we saw in 2020. What we see is that people saying, hey, hang on a second, ICE wants us to take the bait.

They want us to screw up, do something wrong, and then ultimately see even greater military presence in our city. Yeah, so this is, so you see what's happening? And then so in other words, like if Trump responds, and thank you to MRC for pulling that clip, if Trump responds by invoking the Insurrection Act, if Trump actually does something about this, beyond what he's already done. Then it's Trump's fault. It's Trump's fault. Trump is the one who's making things chaotic. He's setting up this logical framework to that people conclude that Trump did something

dastardly. But remember, it's all as a result of the left acting like freaking lunatics and getting very violent and doing very illegal things. And this cancer has spread all across the country. It's not merely in Minneapolis, as you know. It's everywhere. Illinois, for instance, right now. We've got some developing news out of Illinois.

those of you live in Illinois, God bless you for it. But you've got Jelly Belly Prisker as the governor of your state. And Paul Sperry over at Real Clear Investigations has this detail that he's sharing with us this morning. He says J.B. Pritzker has put into effect a ban on the sharing of state DMV and crime data with CBP and ICE agents for immigration enforcement. They're blocking our usage of N-LETs, a CBP official in Chicago told me, where's the administration on this? Okay. So N-L-E-T-S is being blocked right now by the state of Illinois at the direction of the Illinois governor, Jelly Belly Prisker. Now, why is this?

Why is he doing this? What is this system? N-LETs is the national law enforcement telecommunications system. it has traditionally been a data sharing operation between all 50 states and their law enforcement agencies and the federal government. It's a means by which the feds can cross-check various data in order to conduct criminal investigations and track down bad guys. That's as straightforward as it gets. And in turn, by the way, the states, they can do that too. They rely on this system. What's happened here, and this is not the first time this has happened, is a Democrat-run

state is now shutting off information sharing operations in order to prevent law enforcement from being conducted. Let me put that differently. This is an insurrection. This is a state looking to obstruct the federal government from its law enforcement obligations. That's it. They don't want the law being enforced in Illinois. So they're blocking them from having access to things like the driver's license registries in the state. And Illinois, as I said, is only becoming the latest state to do that. Now, Washington state has done the same thing. A Democrat-run state led by lunatic Democrats there as well. And here's what they're doing. We just got news yesterday out of Axios that Washington state driver data has been used for immigration arrests despite the fact that the state of Washington

is trying to prevent this from happening. Washington state agencies have continued sharing driver data used in federal immigration arrests, despite state officials saying access had been cut, according to a new University of Washington Civil Rights Report. The findings add to growing evidence that the state of Washington's surveillance and data systems have been accessed by federal agencies, despite state laws meant to block that sharing, raising concerns that so-called sanctuary protections exist more on paper than in practice. Well, this is, in some sense, this is, this is good news. The federal government has figured out how to continue to get information out of the state. But in reality, what we're witnessing is the state is like scrambling to figure out how can we make this insurrection even worse?

How can we prevent federal law enforcement from doing its job at greater levels? So you've got Washington officials who are freaking out that their incompetent efforts to block the feds from having access to this data haven't yet worked. But they're trying, they're trying a lot of it right now. So those insurrections are going on. Then we pull across the country, goes clean across the country to Philadelphia. That's where you have a Soros-backed district attorney by the name of Larry Krasner, scumbag. Larry Krasner has just announced that he's trying to slap ICE agents with charges. He wants to criminally prosecute ICE agents in the city of Philadelphia for simply what enforcing the law.

And pay attention to the way he introduces this because he'll say it the same way that the Seditious Sixth said it. Mark Kelly. Oh, we're just saying people who do illegal things are going to face consequences. No, no, no. You're pretty clear about what you're doing here. You think enforcing the law itself is illegal. So you want to prosecute ICE agents for doing their jobs. Watch here, cut seven, the Philly DA. Watch this. If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent is going to come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here. Because if you do that here, I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted, whether it's in state or federal court, it's my office prosecuting it. That's how the

law works. And you will do your time because Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents. Do you hear me, National Guard? Do you hear me military? So that's a Philadelphia district attorney. What is he trying to do? He's trying to stop law enforcement. He is trying to protect the illegal alien scheme that Democrats rely on for a million different things, including rigging elections. Why do Democrats like illegal aliens so much? Well, a big one is they use them to rig elections. That's the clearest possible answer. How do they do that? Well, they pad the numbers in all of these blue states so that they get unearned electoral college votes. They pad the numbers. They use human beings to pad the numbers so they get unearned congressional seats. And the last thing

they want is for somebody to resolve this rigged system. And that's what the Trump administration is doing right now. I mean, President Trump's been pretty clear about this. He wants to tackle election rigging. One way to do that, deport tens of millions of illegal aliens who are helping make Democrat election rigging possible all across our country. Get rid of them. Get rid of them. The Philly DA threatening ICE because he's trying to chill law enforcement. No other way to look at it. Also in New York City, they're being outright threatening, outright threatening to the point that they're now saying that they want to kill the Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Nome. and they want to kill ice agents. Watch this. This is video cut aid

just out of New York City in the last 24 hours of left-wing radicals threatening to kill the men and women who are restoring order to our country. Watch. Christy Gnome will hang. Save a life, kill an ice.

Kill and ice. Save a life. Tell and ice. Because the name of Dr. Martin Luther King has been disrespected enough by these white people. Fuck Charlie Kirk! Of course, that last message, fuck Charlie Kirk. Yet those people should be in jail. Speaking of people, Christy Nell-M-Will-Hang, save a life, kill an ice?

Yeah, I think, I mean, at what point do you reach the level where you're threatening to actually murder people? It kind of seems like that's what they're doing to murder federal law enforcement, they need to be in jail. Order needs to be restored. Because if it's not, we're going to see more bloodshed. We're going to see more bloodshed. And already we're seeing some very dicey things going on. And just in the last 24 hours, we get another one of these stories about immigration enforcement

and threats to their lives. Here's Trisha McLaughlin, the excellent spokeswoman for the United States Department of Homeland Security. She just posted this. She said at 219 Pacific Standard Time, border patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and the target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Trend de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang, Trend Deiragua.

So we're dealing with Trend de Aragua here. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants. The driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents. This one not apparently caught on camera, so we're relying on a text assessment. Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired defensive shots. The driver drove off with the passenger fleeing the scene. The situation evolving. More information forthcoming. So the attacks continue against immigration enforcement. In particular, these vehicle attacks, directed at them, whether it be immigration and customs enforcement or border patrol, these guys have a very, very tough job.

A very tough job. And they deserve not only the support of the American people, but the support of anybody who dares hold elective office in the United States of America right now. That's the state of play nationwide. And all the more reason why I do think the president should invoke the Insurrection Act. Clean this up now. Now, in the meantime, President Trump has a lot of. to deal with and not just domestically. Of course, he's been dealing with Venezuela. We get reports of

yet another tanker this morning being intercepted by the American military, carrying a Russian flag on it, the claim by the media that tensions are only growing between the United States and Russia. I mentioned that. At the same time, we've got a headline about Russia this morning. Russia just announce it has used a nuclear capable missile to strike western Ukraine. This is them doing some saber rattling, saying essentially that a missile that could have carried a nuclear warhead has struck in Western Ukraine. They said Friday, an intermediate range ballistic missile missile, an ominous warning by President Vladimir Putin of Russia as U.S.-led negotiations to end the war have gained steam. They say the attack was only the second time in the war that Moscow had fired.

this type of missile. So things are getting a little more chippy again with Vladimir Putin. And then there's what's going down in Iran right now. Iran is in the midst of a nationwide internet blackout right now. The country has plunged into what they're referring as an internet blackout. In other words, people are not able to get online. Now, what has led to this? Well, there's massive amounts of unrest on the streets of Tehran and in Iran right now. This started reportedly because the value of the Iranian real, the national currency, has plummeted. Shop owners in Iran began protests as a result of all of this because their economy is in freefall and the value of their currency is non-existent. That anger, that energy has spread to the broader population.

There are now massive street protests going on in Iran. Government buildings have been set on fire in Iran. It's very chaotic right now. Earlier remarks by the president of Iran indicated that he wanted things to calm down. There were sort of gentle messages from the president that he was urging people to appeal to they're better angels or something in order to try and calm down the unrest that's going on in the country right now. The Ayatollah Khomeini, the guy who's ultimately in charge of the Supreme Leader in Iran, he's come out and he's been way more aggressive. He is talking about

crackdowns of the protesters in his own country. And he says that the people who are doing this are only doing it because their job is destruction. He's accusing them of being influenced by foreign. He says they're just trying to please President Trump. And he said that he's not going to back down in his crackdowns against his own people. So things are getting really dicey really quickly in Iran beyond the normal levels. Additionally, as I mentioned, the Internet's been blacked out. Now, what does this mean? Well, when the Internet is blacked out, that's blacked out by the regime for two reasons.

One of them is to short circuit the ability of Iranian protesters to communeal. with one another. If social media videos and social media messages are shut down, it stops their ability to engage in the form of short mass communication that the rest of us can do when we have access to social media. The other is it prevents any more images as best as they can from escaping Iran. They don't want the international community to see just how fragile the current state of play is inside of Tehran and in Iran. That's what the point of all of this is. And then what is President Trump saying about all of this? Well, President Trump just did an interview with Hugh Hewitt yesterday on his radio program and was discussing some of this. And Hugh asked him outright, is the goal regime change? What's going to happen in Iran next? Listen to the president here. I'll play this for you as the president describes what's going to happen next. And his warning to the Iranian regime should they kill protesters. Now, for those of you've been following closely,

you'll know now that there are reports that some 40 Iranian protesters have already been killed, the president addresses this in this exchange. Listen. What about Iran? Is the aim with Iran the collapse of that awful 47-year tyranny? Well, I don't want to say it, but I will tell you, they're not doing well, as you know, probably better than anybody. They're doing very poorly. And I have let them know that if they start killing people, which they tend to do during their riots, they have lots of riots. If they do it, we're going to hit them very hard. Now, dozens have been killed.

I know you don't do red lines, but have you communicated to them what that limit of your patience is? Well, some have been killed by, you know, problems of crowd control and other things. We're watching it very closely. The crowds are so large. There's been a stampede. There's been three stampedes. And people have been killed in that. And I'm not sure I can necessarily hold somebody responsible for that.

But they know, and they've been told very strongly, even more strongly than I'm speaking to you right now, that if they do that, they're going to have to pay hell. All right. So there's the president saying, hey, things are going to get a lot worse for Iran if they kill their own people. And the United States is going to intervene as a result of that. I mean, it's about as clear as it gets from the president of the United States. Now, let me, I just want to mention one really important piece of subtext that runs through all. all of these things. And I haven't even mentioned the name of this country yet, but it's the most important story in all of this. China. China. Where does China get its energy from? China, our leading adversary on the world stage, China, which is responsible for the deaths over over 100,000 Americans every year through the fentanyl that they send to the cartels, the chemicals that they send, the precursors,

they send to the cartels that get turned into fentanyl by Chinese operations in Mexico and then imported into the United States using Chinese encrypted apps to do it. Where do they get all their energy from? The answer is primarily three countries, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia. Those are all the countries I just mentioned to you a moment ago who are in utter chaos as we speak. Much of it induced by the Trump administration, finally cracking down on them. Don't forget in the midst of all of this, how important it is for us to counter China's ever-growing influence over the last few decades and certainly under the Biden administration. That is at the center of all of this, China.

And how do we contain them? And how do we shut off their illicit power supply? President Trump is kicking the power court out right now for China, telling them that you want to play in this sandbox, you've got to play by the rules. You've got to buy on the open market if you want to buy energy. You can't continue to cheat and kill American citizens. That ends now. That's what's at the center of all of this. What American interests exists in each of these countries, and it's the role that China is playing in all of this. That's it. That's it. And in fact, if you pay close attention to the press conferences,

and the words of the vice president of the United States, this does come up occasionally. But it probably doesn't come up enough that that is at the center of all of this. China. China. As always, say a prayer for your country. Say a prayer for your president.
