Yes, indeed. All right. Let's see what's going on here. Look, the Insurrection Act, we keep talking about it. And I'm going to show you some video footage that further justifies why we needed. But to remind people, the Insurrection Act is a law that is about as old as the United States itself. We've had it forever.

And it allows the president of the United States to deploy the military. Yes, the military in order to restore order to our streets. It's as simple as that. We send the military in. We arrest the bad guys and we make the cities peaceful again. The Insurrection Act, I keep telling everybody, it's been invoked 30 times in American history. A lot of presidents have used it. Most recently, 1992, that was the last time.

That was George H.W. Bush during the L.A. riots at the request of then California Republican governor Pete Wilson. but historically Democrats have opposed. Democrat governors have often opposed the Insurrection Act being used and well it didn't matter to the American people they said send in the troops anyway and order was restored oftentimes because racist Democrat governors were trying to prevent the law from being enforced well I hate to tell you we have a supremacy clause we have a constitution we have a president of the United States and we have the American voter all of whom have made very clear the insurrection act is legit. And for those of you who think of,

we might hear this and think of that Latin phrase, Pasi comitatus about the idea that the military can't be used domestically. Well, this is the exception. This is the exception from the very founding of our country. We've had the Insurrection Act, and it is that limited but important exception where the military is actually allowed to be used in this way, entirely legally, entirely constitutionally.

And at this moment, it makes a lot of, sense. A lot of sense to do that. In fact, it makes so much sense that one of the guys who is famous for his sensibility has come out and said, yeah, I support that too. Elon Musk overnight joining the chorus, joining you and me calling for the invocation of the Insurrection Act now. Here's what he says. Time to invoke the Insurrection Act. Yeah, he's the latest. He's the latest. He's responding here to a post from Insurrection Barbie who says, here's some fun facts, echoing what just told you, the Insurrection Act has been invoked 30 times by 17 different presidents. In fact, 37% of American presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act. It was invoked to deal with rebellions

and uprisings, including armed groups that openly defy federal law, state or local authorities who could not or would not enforce federal law, violence or organized resistance threatening the authority of the federal government, and courts were blocked and taxes couldn't be collected or officials were attacked, which is why the Insurrection Act was invoked. In fact, the Intersection Act was also invoked by Ronald Reagan in order to stop a prison riot in Georgia. So, yeah, the Interaction Act's been used a lot. And as Intersection Barbie says, look, I described, I just described Minnesota. I just described Minnesota.

Yeah, that's exactly what's going on in Minnesota. We have an insurrection on our hands. And one more thing. I saw Adam on this issue. I saw Adam Kinzinger, crying Adam Kinzinger, fake Republican. saying that, oh, the insurrection act can only be used to augment the state resources. In other words, that the states themselves, if they need help like Pete Wilson did in 1992, they could just send a request to the federal government.

And that's why the insurrection act would be invoked. No, no, that's not what this is. That is a condition by which it could happen. But no, it's in the face of a full-blown insurrection at the hands of a Democrat governor, or any governor for that matter, but it's only Democrats who have ever done this. at the hands of a Democrat governor like tampon Tim Walls, yeah, you can invoke the Insurrection Act and send them the troops. I've been getting a lot of questions about this.

People are, people are, what does it do? How does it work? Why would it even change anything? Well, I think deploying the Marines might change something. So let's do that, shall we? Elon Musk is calling for that as well now. So that's fun. That's interesting.

We've got some new information about what exactly went down now two nights ago. as an ice officer was attempting to make an arrest of an illegal alien from Venezuela. We found out a lot more from Bill Malusian, who, as I understand it, Bill should be already on the ground in Minneapolis. He was traveling there yesterday. He decided, you know what, I'm going to go get a frontline view of the insurrection report on it. Good for Bill. Here's what Bill tells us about the illegal aliens, multiple, who were attacking that ice officer this week, which led to riots on Wednesday night, by the way, as the left lied about the circumstances.

DHS released the names and the backgrounds of all three of the illegal aliens, they say, attacked that ice agent in Minneapolis Wednesday, leading to that shooting. All are Venezuelan illegals. They were all caught and released at the border by the Biden administration. That's right. President Otto Penn bringing even more illegals into the country who would go on to assault federal law enforcement. Thanks, Joe Biden. Per DHS, Julio Cesar Sosa-Sales, a criminal illegal from Venezuela,

previously convicted for driving without a license and arrested for two counts of giving a false name to a peace officer. Oh, fraud was the subject of a targeted enforcement operation. This was the guy they were going after. He was released by Minnesota authorities before ICE could even lodge a detainer. Sosa-Saleses illegally entered the United States in August of 2022. That was under Joe Biden. And then Alfredo Alejandro Ahorna, an illegal alien from Venezuela, illegally entered the U.S., May of 23, under Biden.

After he failed to show up for his immigration hearing, he was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge. We call that due process. Gabrielle Alejandro Hernandez Le Desma, a criminal illegal from Venezuela, illegally enters in the U.S. in May of 23, under Biden. The Biden administration marks this illegal alien as a non-enforcement priority. and for those of you watching rumble.com slash Vince, there are the mugshots of the scumbags. You can see all of them. And these are the guys, as one of them flees that ICE officer who's looking to take them into custody, then crashes the vehicle, takes off on foot, the ICE officer tackles them,

and they get into a physical scuffle as he's trying to take him into custody. Two of these other goals, they come flying out of their apartment that they're living in in Minnesota, and they begin striking the officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel. That would be assault with a deadly weapon, by the way. The officer fires his gun, shoots one of the illegals in the leg, all of the illegals escape into the house and try and barricade themselves inside. You know, the rest, everybody gets taken into custody. And that's the story.

But now we know they're all illegal aliens in case you were wondering. It wasn't just like some random strangers who decided to end. intervene. A couple of white lib ladies who came running out with snow shovels to hit the ice officer, although that would not shock me if that was actually the sequence. No, these were all three Venezuelan illegals attacking ice officers. And meanwhile, Tim Walls and Jacob Frye pretend like everything is fine. Like nothing like this is happening to begin with. So, you know, in case you're wondering. So that was the predicating event. That was the event that lit the fuse as the left immediately lied about the assault on that ice officer, acting like ice officers just gunning down

American citizens in cold blood, running around shooting children or something. These are the lies that they're telling over on blue sky and anywhere else these radicals are getting their information. And what are they motivated to do? Well, the Washington, excuse me, the Washington Free Beacon, that's the great website I'm going to refer to now. The Washington Free Beacon has a brand new piece of information up on this subject. And they say that, the anti-ice organizations that are in the state are now openly advocating for, quote, militancy. As Tim Walls encourages resistance, the free beacon reports, Minnesota Ice Watch is declaring that time is ripe to embrace militancy. Militancy. I don't know, is there a way to interpret

that as some sort of like call to free speech? These are about our protest rights. I don't, I don't think so pretty certain when you use the word militancy you're you're literally encouraging revolution armed revolution against the lawful authorities of our country Minnesota Ice Watch you'll remember Minnesota Ice Watch is the group that Renee Good was a part of she was parked in the middle of the street trying to obstruct ice officers they gave her multiple minutes of warnings to get out of the street they eventually approached the vehicle and she decides to drive her car directly into an ice officer. He has to open fire to defend himself, his fellow ICE officers. She dies as a result of her own actions. And that, of course, started more rioting earlier this week. So we've had a lot of

craziness going on in Minneapolis. We have to keep covering it because every day there's more of it. The ICE Watch Group at the center of the unruly demonstrations gripping Minneapolis is urging its supporters to, quote, embrace militancy. Militancy. And escalation. And escalation. their demands by any means necessary. Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard this phrase before, by any means necessary, this is what the Marxists are constantly using. These radical lefties all across our country, they'll use this phrase. In fact, they'll even inscribe it using spray paint on the side of buildings. They'll tag them, we'll write B-A-M-N, by any means necessary. In other words, up to and including murder in order to achieve our demented agenda, by any means

necessary. Hours later, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls also encouraged residents to resist ICE. He accused the agency of carrying out a campaign of organized brutality. Minnesota Ice Watch, which describes itself as an autonomous collective documenting and resisting against ice, police, and all colonial militarized regimes. Colonial. Are you idiots? You live in the United States of America, or at least many of you do. And now you're protecting illegal aliens who are invading the country. Talk about colonial. What the hell is this? It's incoherent. It's low IQ, and man, there's a lot of people who are falling for it. They shed an Instagram post on Wednesday, teaching agitators how to relay information on police and or fascist activity at demonstrations.

We, within the belly of this imperial beast, faced a turning point, the post said. After seven full months during which our protests have utterly failed to slow the gears of the war machine. Yeah, they failed because they're feckless and stupid. And of course, ICE has to enforce the law. There is nothing left to do but escalate, they say, but escalate. And by the way, by the way, there is nothing left to do, but escalate is italicized. The free beacon says that emphasis is theirs. It's in their Instagram post. Nothing left to do but escalate. The time is ripe to embrace militancy on the ground, both to keep ourselves safer and as a demonstration of our commitment to the words by any means necessary. Okay. I don't think we need to see anything else. This is where the FBI goes in. Just arrest every one of these people.

I mean, if the goal, as you declare, is to wage an insurrection against the United States, okay, fine. You're running a foul federal law. Arrest these people. And by the way, in the process, invoke the Insurrection Act. I've been calling for it. Now, Elon Musk has joined the calls. Let's do it, please. They're calling for militancy. And Tim Walls, of course, not helping anything. Earlier this week, he was doing that stupid address to the people of Minnesota, telling them to, what is it, get in the faces of ICE officers,

little Maxine Waters style, accosting. Acost a bunch of ICE officers getting their faces, film them, so you can capture all of their criminality. Meanwhile, it's the camera wielders who are embracing criminality. and militancy, in the words of Ice Watch, which just got Renee Good killed. So if anybody is a part of that ice watch group who somehow bumps into this video or this audio, let me just remind you how this goes. If you engage in militancy, that's how you get dead. That's Renee Good is kind of a dying example of the militancy you're talking about. She drove her vehicle directly into an ICE officer. So now

she's dead. Those were her actions that led to that. By the way, speaking to Renee Good, you know, she wasn't ever actually married to that, that woman, Becca, Rebecca. She wasn't married at all to that lady for a million reasons, including marriage is actually a sacrament. It's not actually, it's not actually an institution of the state at all. It's designed to be a religious sacrament. But it turns out, as a lot of, as a lot of you are aware, they're not married. Like, everyone's Oh, it's her wife. That's a lie. No, no.

You know whose marriage was authentic? Well, not as a religious sacrament, certainly. But as far as the state was concerned, Ilhan Omar married her brother. That's a marriage. Renee Good was not married to a lady. That's, that's a lie. That's a lie, just like all the rest of them. The rioting we saw this week as a result of the lies about those Venezuelan illegals

who attacked that ICE officer, and he had to defend himself by discharging his weapon. A part of those riots this week, I showed you video. There were people breaking into vehicles, breaking into law enforcement vehicles on Wednesday night, trying to steal everything they could out of the cars. And Nick Sorter, who I talked to on the radio show yesterday, he's just such a great American. He's been on the ground there in Minneapolis. And say a prayer for Nick Sorder. And any independent journalist who's out there trying to do this job right now,

it's like totally crazy what's happening in Minneapolis. I'm grateful for these guys who were actually putting in the work. Nick Sorter captured video of a suspect who broke into an FBI vehicle and stole a rifle. And Nick told me yesterday, and for those of you who heard it on the big national radio show, Nick was describing the rifle that was stolen, according to the government, included a switch to put the gun in full automatic, a fully automatic FBI rifle, stolen by one of these insurrectionists this week. Here's the video of the guy.

We have that video, right? Yeah, we have the video, Justin, of the guy stealing the rifle from the car. Let's put that one up on screen. And you can see, if you look kind of the left of the back of this vehicle, a guy picks up a rifle bag. There it goes. And then begins to cart it out.

Yeah, Nick's sort or else. emphasizes it, puts an arrow on it. There's a dude with a face tattoo, and it's just stole FBI rifle. Now, Nick kind of keeps tracking what's happening in the back of this car, and then they turn, he turns the camera, and you can see here, emphasizes the getaway video. They show the license plate, a Minnesota license plate, the rifle suspect driving away. So Nick, I mean, talk about service journalism.

Nick is putting his own body on the line. He's capturing this video. he apparently was a disguise that concealed from the crowd that it was Nick Sorter of all people capturing this video. He gets video footage of the guy stealing the rifle from the FBI vehicle, and then he gets video footage of the guy's license plate driving off. Well, here's the good news. They caught him. Now, the face tattoo is kind of a dead giveaway, I would say. It's a little hard to disappear into a crowd with a face tattoo. They caught this guy. Nick Sorter appearing on Fox News last night with Laura Ingram revealing, yeah, I've got good news, everybody. The Trump administration

has captured the FBI, the FBI rifle-stealing face tattoo guy. Watch this. He wasn't arrested last night. He could have been, but the Minneapolis police didn't bother chasing the vehicle that it just stolen a high-powered rifle out of an FBI car. So that stole it out of one of these weapons walkers that was in the back. But what I can confirm now is that, that Raul Gutierrez, age 33, that you see in the video that I posted last night, stealing a firearm from an FBI vehicle, has been arrested by the ATF and the DOJ. They executed an arrest warrant today. And he's a known member of the Latin King's gang.

He's a known member of the Latin King's gang. He's been taken into custody. Surprise, surprise, a Latin King's gangster taken into custody. So they got this guy, which is great news and love to see it. But why did it take that long? Why can't Minneapolis police be a part of the equation here? Why are they being told to stand down? I mean, you know, earlier this week, they had a statement from Jacob Fry saying that

Minneapolis police need to fight back against ice. Need to fight back against ice. And even in the video that I saw going around, Our great Jason Howard and shared it on one of our Bongino channels yesterday. You see the police officer in the background, his eyebrow pops up, like, fight ice. Fight ice? And then he doesn't say anything. He just keeps his mouth shut.

But his eyebrows react. And meanwhile, the rest of us are like, what the hell is going on? I think that's an insurrection. I'm pretty sure that's an insurrection. But what's it going to take for President Trump to determine that the Insurrection Act needs to be invoked? What's his red line? Yesterday morning, I was, as I do many mornings, I was talking to our great White House correspondent at the Daily Caller and certainly a friend of mine, Reagan Reese, and we were getting together the days affairs and talking about questions for the White House.

And I said, here's the big one that I want to know. What is the red line for President Trump? What will it take for him to invoke the Insurrection Act? So you know what Reagan did for us? She asked. She asked the White House yesterday. I've got that coming up next here on this edition of events. You'll be able to take a look at Reagan's question to Caroline Levitt yesterday during the press briefing. It's very valuable, very appreciated, as always. All right, more ahead. I want to thank our great sponsor, Patriot Mobile, who is just wonderful.

I use Patriot Mobile. I love Patriot Mobile. And Patriot Mobile is good for two huge reasons. First and foremost, they're just a great, God-fearing Christian conservative company.

Is X down for anybody else or is this just for me? Justin, you having trouble on X today? Oh, it's having a problem. Okay, good. I've been trying to load up some random X posts as we go. And my, I just kept saying, man, it's hitting some bumps today. I don't know

what the heck's going on. There must be, I don't know. I wonder, is it a denial of service attack? Have we heard anything, chat? Do they know why it's not working? I wonder. I wonder about that. Yeah, it is down. Well, that's lame. I don't like that. Well, luckily, we do a enough homework here that we pull videos and things, so we're all right. We'll make it through. Okay. So yesterday, the great Reagan Reese heads off to the White House with an important question in mind, and it's a simple one, but a deeply important one. What's it going to take? When does President Trump arrive at the conclusion that the Insurrection Act needs to be invoked? For many years now, he's flirted with it. During the 2020 George Floyd riots, President Trump

was indicating that I might have to use the insurrection act. I have it available to me. Even this very week, he posted it to Truth Social saying, you know, if they don't knock it off, I'm going to invoke the Insurrection Act. Okay, what's it going to take? Here's Reagan Reese asking Caroline Levitt yesterday. Watch. I'm wondering what his tipping point is. Like, what would it take for him to vote the Insurrection Act? Look, that's only a question, frankly, Reagan, the president can answer. But the Insurrection Act is a tool at the president's disposal. As you know, has been used sparingly, but it has been used by previous presidents in American history. And I think the president's truth social posts spoke very loud and clear to Democrats across

this country, elected officials who are using their platforms to encourage violence against federal law enforcement officers who are encouraging left-wing agitators to unlawfully obstruct legitimate law enforcement operations. Okay, so let me cut right to the chase. She said that's not her question to answer. That's fundamentally what she said. Now, I'm perfectly happy to hear Caroline Levitt talk about all the ways that the left is staging an insurrection right now, that they're out of control, that they're encouraging the very violence that we're seen in America's streets, the leaders by way of either cowardice or outright villainy or some combination of both are making her country a whole lot worse and this needs to be tackled. She's right about all of that.

But as she pointed out, this is the president's question to answer. And so I'll submit it again publicly. Mr. President, what's it going to take? What's it going to take? I don't get it. I mean, I think that there are people think that there's, again, I think it's the consideration is maybe there are political consequences here. Oh, no, what will people think?

What will people think if our country is in full-blunk chaos come the midterms? What will people think if there's more blood on the street? I may ask a court question. It doesn't matter if it's for President Trump or anybody else who might be in that office. Do we really need an ICE officer to be killed in the streets of Minneapolis to invoke the Insurrection Act? Are we waiting for something that tragic, that horrific to take place before the Insurrection Act is invoked? Let's not wait. Let's just restore order to an American city. A great historic American city. Let's restore the order. This doesn't come from a place of, of animus. It does not come from a place of of wanting to see my political opponents crushed or anything. This comes straight out of a love of country. I hate what's happening to Minneapolis. I hate what's happening to the rest of our country. And if we can crack down on it, if we can impose consequences on the people who are breaking our laws,

then as a result, we get a little bit closer to healing the country. If you demonstrate that there are consequences for your actions, like Renee good experienced by the fact that she slammed into an ICE officer and then she died as a result of that behavior. And then what happened? Remember, the lefties in the days that ensued were like, maybe I shouldn't drive like that into ICE officers. Yeah, that's because what you hear are consequences. Seeing consequences serves as a deterrent. Well, let's deter illegality. Pretty straightforward equation. So calling on the president to do that. Yeah. Mabes 07.8. says, Vince, he's working on it. President Trump's got a lot on his plate. He will come through. Hold.

I'm praying for that. I pray that he comes through. I, look, I'm not, don't mistake me here. Don't mistake me here. I'm not in any way down on President Trump. I think the guy's been an immense success, greatest president on my lifetime. He's achieved a lot, locked up that border. He's deporting people by the millions. I, I am very pleased with the victories that this administration has had and continues to have. No question whatsoever. But I'm never going to be shy about encouraging him to be at his absolute best. And to be at his absolute best right now, that would be using a power that is completely legal and available to him to rescue America's cities.

That's what I'm asking for. It's as simple as that. Speaking of FAAFO and consequences for lefties who break the law, there's a crazy one this week. Did you see the guy out of California who decided in the midst of an arrest by federal law enforcement to charge at the cops, to charge at law enforcement. Well, what happens if you charge at law enforcement while they're in the middle of doing their duties? Well, they may shoot you with riot control gear. And that's almost generous.

That's precisely what happened this week. I've got that FAOFO story coming up in just a moment on this edition of Vince. All right, standby for that.

We have an FAAFO moment for you, fresh off the presses.

We just had recently a crazy lefty go out in the streets on January 9th of this year. He was in Santa Ana, California. And he decides to rush at law enforcement. And when he sprints at the cops, they're trying to defend themselves from the And one of these cops turns and fires a non-lethal crowd control device and it hits the guy directly in the face. Well, let me just begin with how to avoid that. Don't run directly at the cops. How about don't start with that?

Here's cut five from January 7th, Santa Ana, California. Let's see what happened. Taking the guy in the custody, people run at them. Boom. You get shot in the head. Look at that. It looks like he ran into the line of fire, too. They're trying to take somebody into custody.

And so the crowd starts charging at the officers to stop the arrest. They begin firing crowd control techniques at these people. Crowd control less than lethal, non-lethal firing. The guy runs his face directly into a beanbag or whatever it is that hit him. So how about don't do that? How about don't attack the cops and let them do their jobs. Sure enough, this guy's face consequences. So here he is this week, cut four, revealing what happened to him.

We'll be blind for life. They said my globe was ruptured. I had like my lower lid was like cut up and they had to take skin from my temple to fix it. There's a lot to it. I don't remember all the things that they said. I have fractures in my school that they can't fix and I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous too. I remember also when I shot there was pepper in it and I had peppered down my throat. I made it hard to breathe for a long time.

They pulled a piece of plastic size of a nickel out of my eye. They said I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic all throughout my eye and behind my eye and in my skull. And they also said that I had a piece of stradnal metal about a few millimeters away from my corroded artery. And they said it was a miracle. I survived because if it got any closer, if it hit that, I would have died that night. Uh-huh. Well, here's an idea. Maybe if you spent more time at home painting your fingernails and less time charging at the cops, none of this would have happened. The guy says he's going to be blind now in one eye for the rest of his life, according to doctors.

His face experienced all sorts of fractures and things. Again, none of this happens if he doesn't do what he did. He ran directly in the line of fire as these officers were trying to defend themselves from the marauding mob. Um, whose fault is that, chat? Whose fault is that particular sequence of events? How did that guy end up losing sight in one eye? Yeah, that's his fault. That's, that's his fault.

Um, probably a good thing that that video gets out there. That's a, that's an FAFL moment that, you know, there are consequences to these things, including you may lose your sight. You may lose your site. That's, uh, that's what happened there. Uh, so that's the big one this week, uh, just to, uh, to share that with you. Also, in Minneapolis, we've got some other craziness to share with you.

Did you see the lefty insurrectionists who started attacking one of their own media outlets this week? NBC, I presume Ms. NBC, sent a can't, what do they call it now? Miz now? Well, the guy says he's with NBC. I don't know if he's misrepresenting it or what. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The point is NBC, one of the dedicated lefty outlets, was out on the street.

of Minneapolis this week. And the cameraman from NBC, he had rented an SUV because he's got a bunch of heavy camera equipment that he's trying to carry around with him. It looks like a white Chevy suburban. And the mob, seeing an SUV thinks it's probably federal law enforcement. So they go over and they begin menacing the cameraman. And he starts pleading with them. And he tells them, I'm on your side. I'm an NBC cameraman. The implication, please don't hurt me. I'm one of us. Look at this moment as these guys, they confront the NBC cameraman. Cut three. Look at this. Like you said, I don't have to do this. I'm happy to do this. That's all. We just got to stop this. So he's got a lot of camera equipment.

I think we can say this is it. Yeah, I'm not, I tried to tell him. First lady, nobody believes me. That's all I can do is tell you. I already show, listen, first of all, I don't. I don't do you that, but I'm kind. I respect what y'all are doing. Yeah, no, no.

I respect what y'all are doing. I really appreciate what you guys are doing. I really appreciate what you're doing. Were you here yesterday? Yeah. Yes. Yes. I didn't recognize when you're checking out.

I'm not here to help. I'm not here to help you. No, I think the fact that you're in a vehicle like this or there's comments. But with all due respect, everybody, I can't help away. You can't. You can't. You go rent something else. Well, let me go rent something else.

That's not how worse. This is my business. I know. This is my business. So anyhow, I hope you guys understand. So the guy is pleading with them. He's trying to get the mob not to hurt him. You can tell exactly what's going on here.

and they start interrogating him. What's in the back of your car? Show us the equipment. Oh, that's camera equipment. One woman tries to talk the mob down a little bit. She's like, I don't think he's with the feds. That's camera equipment in the back of the car. Just imagine.

Imagine if it was a cop. You're going to attack a police officer? That's the attitude. That's the mood among these Soviets. They're like chasing people down for their little revolution to try and hurt them. And so just by virtue of the fact that the guy's driving an SUV, he is now suspect. We have to hurt that man.

And then that one woman's like, you need to drive a different car. I don't even believe you. Go rent something different. You're not allowed to drive an SUV. Now, you tell me exactly how any of that's an American impulse. How is it that any of those people are even pretending that they're standing up for the United States of America,

the Constitution or freedom, when they're running around like a bunch of Chinese cultural revolutions, assholes, just like yelling at people, and demanding that you mouth the words. The incantation he used to get out of it was, I'm on your side. I appreciate what you guys are doing. He had to suck up to the mob to survive the interaction.

That makes sense. Is NBC proud of that? That their cameraman is doing that? Probably. But that's just gross. And of course, just like always, these left-wing revolutions, they always eat their own. Nobody's ever pure enough. You're driving an SUV. You need to be crushed.

People might mistake you for a law enforcement officer. So we are going to menace you until you drive a different vehicle. That's crazy, man. That's super crazy. And that's what's playing out right now in our country. So yes, President Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act. I'm sorry. I can say it a million times. I'll say it a million times more. He should absolutely invoke the Insurrection Act. Let's get control of our country again and stop allowing the Chinese cultural revolution to take place here. There's no reason for that at all. And yet, that's what we have. Hey, I showed you some video a moment ago of Caroline Levitt. Caroline Levitt's wonderful. She's a great white ass press secretary. She's been so impressive in the role. But she had a moment yesterday that I thought may have been the most

legendary moment she's had yet. And it was about the fact that Renee Good got herself killed. recently, when she decided to drive her vehicle into an ICE officer. And yesterday at the White House press briefing, a columnist from the Hill, a guy whose name is Nile Stenage, seated among the journalists inside of the White House press briefing, he decided to engage Caroline Levitt in a debate. Instead of asking a question, he just made up a fiction and then attacked ICE. And Caroline Levitt was having none of it. This is one of the great moments.

Man, it's great to have this on a Friday. Ready to enjoy this? Here's Caroline Levitt, not just taking this guy who's pretending to be a journalist to the woodshed, but feeding his face directly into a wood chipper. Watch this. 32 people died in ICE custody last year. 170 U.S. citizens were detained by ICE,

and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE. How does that equate to them to? everything's correct. Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed? Are you asking me my opinion? Yeah. Because a nice agent acted recklessly and killed it unjustified. Oh, okay. So you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion. What do you want me to do? Yeah, because you're a left-wing hack. You're not a reporter. You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's so clear by the premise of your question. And you and the people in the media who have such biases but fake, like you're a journalist, you shouldn't even be sitting in that seat. But you're pretending like you're a journalist, but you're a

a left-wing activist and the question that you just raised and your answer proves your bias. You should be reporting on the facts. You should be reporting on the cases. Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? I bet you don't. I bet you didn't even read up on those stories. I bet you never even read about Lake and Riley or Jocelyn Nungray or all of the innocent Americans who were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country. And the brave men and women of ICE are doing everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and make our communities safer and shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view

and have a bias view and pretend like you're a real honest journalist. You ready? Here we go. Fatality. That was unbelievable. That was unbelievable. What a great moment yesterday in the White House press briefing. You think people got the message? You think Everybody else in that room got the message. Like, holy crap, I'm not going down this road. I'm going to let the Brit take the heat for this one. I'm learning a lesson.

You want to talk about a deterrent? How about a deterrent for stupidity? How about Caroline Levin just opens fire rhetorically on a guy who she appropriately said shouldn't even be in the room. She should not. That guy should not even be in the room. You shouldn't even be in that share. You know nothing about the circumstances.

Your question is predicated on fiction. Why are you wasting everybody's time? Good for her. Good for her. The only thing I'm concerned about is Riley Gaines was in the room yesterday because she was in the new media seat, the great Riley Gaines. And she brought her a little baby with her. It was adorable.

And occasionally you hear the baby, you know, goo-gooing, gagaing. It wasn't the normal baby sounds you hear from the press. It was an actual baby who was in the room. And I hope, I hope Riley Gaines did earmuffs for that moment. That was a rough moment. That was a very adult moment. As says Carolyn Levitt just absolutely shalack that idiot. You should never go.

What is he doing in the press briefing? Deny that guy press credentials. On the basis of no insane people, you're not allowed to be here. That's all. It's not about freedom of the press. It's like, just please, you're wasting everybody's time with these lies. And the lies are dangerous, to be clear. That guy is out there telling people that ICE is just wantonly killing human beings.

You see what the left does with that kind of claim. They use that as a way to whip up the weak mind that the violent people in their base who then turn around and, you know, conduct assassination attempts on American citizens or trying to attack ICE officers. Yeah, enough of that crap. No, let's not. Don't even pretend that serious for a moment. Good for Caroline. Love it.

Kind of wild. Yeah, earmust for the baby. That would have been. I'm sure. I'm sure Riley Gaines did that. We got to protect the children. We have to. We got to protect the children.

Let me see what else I got going for you. On a completely different but important subject, President Trump has been talking about obtaining Greenland for a million reasons. I had the Deputy National Security Advisor to the president, former Deputy National Security Advisor, Keating McFarland on the big radio show yesterday. and she was great on this subject. And she was talking about, you know,

you ever wonder why President Trump is interested in Greenland? Well, if you've got a globe in your house, you've got an old-fashioned globe, at some point just go look at Greenland and then look what it's surrounded by. Greenland, right up there, the Arctic Circle, everything seems like a stones throw away. You're by Russia and China's a little more distant,

Europe, the United States. Everything is real tight in there. there around Greenland. Greenland, in terms of a strategic piece of land, very important to the United States. And in fact, the United States has been trying to obtain it since the 1800s. We've been constantly trying to make offers and figure out a way to make it essentially a U.S. territory to purchase this thing, to make it ours. Clearly, we've set up military bases there. We've expanded our sphere of influence to Greenland. But the real competition is between the United States and ultimately China, to some extent Russia, but ultimately China. China is and has been

making inroads onto Greenland. And if you have an America First agenda, you should definitely protect your own hemisphere. You should definitely be looking to prevent your signature adversary from making gains in your direction really close to you in your hemisphere. How about no? How about no China in Greenland? How about no China in Venezuela? How about no China in Venezuela? So President Trump, one by one, is ensuring our security in our hemisphere. And that's why he's so sincerely trying to obtain Greenland. Now, you would think that American lawmakers would be all in on this, that they'd be super supportive of President Trump trying to do this.

In fact, they'd be standing shoulder to shoulder with him. But they're not. And it's not just Democrats who were opposed to doing something good for the country. It's also people who call themselves, once again, Republicans. Politico's got a report today. Dumbest thing I've ever heard, Republicans amp up their resistance to Trump's Greenland push. Greenland push. Oh, so what are Republicans doing to resist President Trump?

Why is it always Republican? What are you doing? Here's what they're doing. President Trump is talking about taking over Greenland, Politico says. by any means necessary. I love this. Yes, he's like a left-wing insurrectionist. Republicans in Congress are trying to scare him back to reality. As Trump continually, they're going to scare Trump, I'm sure.

As Trump continually threatens to bring the Danish territory into the U.S. over the objections of key global allies and the island's elected representatives, some Republican lawmakers are stepping up their warnings and engaging in diplomacy as Democrats prepare to put the other party on record of post-executive. a military invasion. Senator Thumb Tillis of North Carolina, Thombolena, is predicting that members on both sides of the aisle are going to lock arms and require a congressional sign-off

if it becomes clear Trump was preparing imminent military action. Here's Thumb. Ready? Quote, if there was any sort of action that looked like the goal was actually landing in Greenland and doing an illegal taking, there'd be sufficient numbers here to pass a war, powers resolution and withstand a veto. All right. So Tham says that he's going to oppose President Trump from seizing Greenland. Representative Don Bacon, also nominally, a Republican from Nebraska,

these are the Republicans we have in Congress, went further predicting that it would lead to impeachment and calling Trump's Greenland obsession the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Don Bacon. I finally found the one thing Bacon doesn't improve. It's Congress. It's Congress. Don Bacon says he would impeach Trump and that his obsession with Greenland, which by the way, is a national security obsession, is, quote, the dumbest thing he's ever heard. Don Bacon. The blunt public messaging comes as lawmakers, try to reassure U.S. allies. including Denmark in private, a bipartisan group of House and Senate lawmakers are in Copenhagen Friday. That's today. They're in their Denmark today to suck up to the Danes to promise that, oh no, oh no, Trump's not going to take Greenland. I won't let it happen. Are you serious?

They want a message that military action does not have support on Capitol Hill. Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally. Not as an asset, said Senator Lisa Murkowski. And I think that's what you're hearing with this delegation, she said, after meeting with Danish and Greenlandic leaders there. And then there's John Thun. What's John Thun up to? Well, Politico says, John Thun did not join the delegation, but he largely endorsed

the message the contingent is sending in comments to reporters Thursday saying, quote, there's certainly not an appetite here for some of the options that have been talked about are considered an apparent reference to military action. All right, so, who's on President Trump's side exactly? Why is it, why is it left to normal people to constantly be waging these fights? Why is it left to me and you to fight on behalf of President Trump? What, what kind of party is this? Fellas, hello. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. I got a question. This is sincere. Do you want to win the midterms? Do you want any backup whatsoever?

Do you want more Republicans to come to Washington, D.C., to help you get an agenda through? Do you have any desire to improve this country? Are you just here to get rich? Is the whole job just insider trading for you? Do you perfectly happen being in the minority? Is that the game plan? Just to go back to the minorities so that, you know, if you even have less power, then we have no recourse, we can't come to you and expect you to do something for us.

You just throw your hands up. like, sorry we're in the minority. There's nothing to do. Is that really the game plan? Oh, yeah, get me closer, Justin. Is this really the game plan for you, idiots? Thanks, Justin. Thank you.

All right, stop scaring the people. It's the game plan. This is all they're doing. So they're rooting against... Oh, I'm sorry. I realize I left my camera all jacked up. This is the game plan. They're rooting against Trump at every turn.

To the point that Don flipping bacon, the only cool thing about him is his name, is saying that Trump would be impeached if he figured out a way to get Greenland? By the way, president, I'm sorry about this close-up scared. I wasn't trying to scare you guys. I'm trying to want to rattle Congress a little bit. Here's the thing. President Trump was asked this week about military action in Greenland.

The press is going crazy because here's really what's going on. The White House keeps being asked, is Trump going to invade Greenland? Is Trump going to invade Greenland? And the White House just gives simple answers that are always the same Trump answer, which is everything's on the table. We don't take anything off the table with this White House. Literally every option continues to be on the table. The president is never going to tell you,

oh, no, I'm removing that as an option. But even when he's asked this week, are you going to invade Greenland with the military? Well, first of all, if we wanted to, a game set match. I mean, that's the easiest. You ever play risk? You ever move from country to country?

You got like a thousand pieces in one country and you're going up against an army of one piece. Yeah, that's a guarantee. You take that country. That's Greenland. We got a bajillion pieces on the United States. There's Greenland. They got like one little, you know, like soldier who like yodeling or something.

We can take them like that. But that's not what we're doing. Come on, please, be serious. We're not invading Greenland. No. And so when President Trump's asked about it, he just laughs it off. He thinks the whole thing is so stupid. The president is negotiating.

He always is negotiating. The whole idea is he's a dealmaker. He's a dealmaker. He's saying, look, I really want this place. Let me make it crystal clear that I want it. I'm going to say every option is on the table. I want to force people to come to the table. And for that matter, the leaders of Denmark and Greenland,

they're all meeting with the Trump administration now because they know the heat is on. And President Trump's trying to figure out a way he wants to make an offer to acquire this thing for the benefit of the United States of America. Amazing. Just amazing. Good for him. Glad to hear it. Satusak 2,357 says, Vince, how can you talk for 45 minutes and not say anything? Satusak wants to know.

And then the moderators just hit them in the face. Well, Satusak, I want to hear what you have to say. What did you cover in your podcast today? Tell me. What was on your podcast today? I'm dying to know. I'm dying the know. Did you, by any chance, get a question into the White House about the Insurrection Act?

Because if you did, if you got more traction than I did, God bless you for it. It's pretty funny. All right. Sad. Sad. Is it Sad sack? Is that what the name was? Justin?

Do we know? Sad, oh, sad sack. Well, tell us, hey, guys, don't block Sadd sack. You can come back if he wants. He can come back. We're for free speech. Sad Sacks allowed to contribute. All right.

Anyway, that's what's going on in the world. That's what's going on with Greenland. And that's what's going on with Sad sack. Sorry, buddy. Let's see. I've got Greenland and, oh, one other thing for you today. You know, there's been a lot of speculation online about whether or not Tyler Robinson actually killed Charlie Kirk. You remember last year, September 10th, that awful day.

Utah Valley University, Charlie Kirk gets shot Tyler Robinson in a position on top of that roof leaps down with the gun, separates the whole thing, puts it in the woods. And remember, Tyler Robinson, he confessed it to his whole family that he was the shooter. he confessed it to his boyfriend who thought he was a furry creature or something. Well, we just got a new interview. This comes to us from News Nation. The reporter is Brian Enton, Brian Enton at News Nation. He covers a lot of these murder stories, not just ones that involve politics in any way,

but just murder stories across the country. He goes to courtrooms and interviews people. He just had an interview with a relative of the furry guy, Lance Twigs. Lance Twigs, and one of Lance's relatives sat down with Brian and discussed this. And Brian asked the core question. He's like, hey, there's a lot of speculation all over the place that Tyler Robinson didn't do it or maybe other people were involved. What can you tell us exactly about what went down?

Here's what somebody who knows Tyler Robinson, sounds like pretty well, a very close connection to Tyler, has to say about all of this. Take a look. There are so many theories out there, and I'm sure you've seen them. think other people are involved or another government was involved. I mean, you're kind of in the middle of this. How confident are you that police have the right guy, Tyler Robinson? 100%. They have the right guy. 100%. They've got the right guy. That guy's facing trial now for what he did, Charlie. And, you know,

I think execution would be right for that, be the right sentence for that situation. It's just all. Just awful. I can't even believe we've lost Charlie Kirk. Can't even believe it to this to this very day. It is, as always, super awesome to be with you guys. We really, really have the best audience anywhere.
