The Young Turks - Execution In Minneapolis - January 26, 2026

Episode Date: January 27, 2026

As outrage grows over the fatal ICE shooting of an American citizen, Trump officials again smear the victim as a "domestic terrorist." Videos prove that Alex Pretti was disarmed before CBP agents shot him. Conservatives abandon their defense of the second amendment to justify the slaying of Pretti.

You're listening to the Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. So upset. Oh my God. Let's see how Earth responds to that. Begha! First, Jake Huger, Anna Kasparian with you guys. As you all know, a lot of news.

Another shooting in Minnesota from ICE. Anna covered some of it over the weekend. Check that out on YouTube. but we're going to give you a lot more about what's happening with ICE. And interestingly, right wing reaction, which there's some terrible reactions and there's some interesting reactions. So now all of a sudden we're at ICE and finding some agreement with some folks. On the other hand, the folks we don't find agreement with, oh boy, Jesus, I mean, as bad

as it gets, extreme as it gets, et cetera. So we're going to cover all that for you guys today, and we'll show you the good guys, the bad guys. And then later in the program, a lot of interesting developments with Israel as well. So what are they going to do with Gaza next? Where are they going to develop? Who's allowed to leave?

Who's not allowed to leave? And their totalitarian control over the Palestinians continues. So lots of stories to get to. Casper, take it away. All right, well, we begin with the Border Patrol shooting that took place over the weekend. Let's get to the details. 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse, Alex Preti, was fatally shot by Border Patrol in Minnesota over the weekend. Now, oftentimes when we talk about ICE or Border Patrol related violence, people just kind of fall back on identifying the agents as ICE agents.

In this case, my understanding is we're talking about border patrol agents, but the mission is similar, as we all know. Now with that in mind, much like the Renee Good shooting, the claims and statements made by various Trump administration officials, fly in the face of the truth and contradict what we can all see on video. Before we get to the details, Jenk, is this the new normal where American citizens get gunned down by federal agents, and then the federal government lies about the innocent American citizen who got shot and killed. Yeah, so there's two parts of this story. One is shooting on armed people in the streets, and he was on armed because they had already taken his gun away when they murdered him. And what kind of police state is our government setting up right now?

And how is that going to affect both the left and the right? And then the second topic is the giant lies of the Trump administration, calling this person a terrorist who was about to be an assassin. Right. Right. So the lies are over the top and should give you a sense of who's right and who's wrong. Now before we show you the various videos that we've prepared for this segment, I actually want to start this off with the initial statement coming from the Department of Homeland Security.

I want you to keep in mind what the Department of Homeland Security said in this post as we watch the videos. So they wrote that at 9.05 a.m. central time, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis, against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9mmet semi-automatic handgun seen here. And the tweet does include a photo of the weapon. Now, they continue to say that the officers attempted to disarm the suspect, but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent, meaning one, fired defensive shots. Medics on the scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced

dead at the scene. The suspect also had two magazines and no ID. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. Massacre law enforcement, okay? Approached officers with his gun, which gives you the sense that, oh, well, I mean, obviously that's going to give you this visual of a person who is armed brandishing their weapon, approaching officials or approaching ice agents. Now is that what really happened? Well, why don't we start off with the very first video here? And you can judge for yourselves if it looks like he approached ICE agents with a gun drawn.

All right, so you see the scene. All right, so you're about to see Prett. Pretty is the one who was on the street and he's walking back. He's walking back. He's the one. Ice agent pushes a woman to the ground, or Border Patrol agent, I should say, pushes to the ground, pepper spraying her. Predi is the one who's attempting to help her get up.

And as he's trying to help her, you see several agents, pepper spraying. You see a struggle ensue. Now, I want to go to the next video. This is not the video of the shooting. We're going to get to that in just a minute. I'm just showing you what happened leading up to the shooting. Because in this next video, you will see that Preddy is holding something. It's not a gun.

But I want you to take a look at what he's holding and then ask yourself, Is this an individual who appears to be an imminent threat to border patrol agents? Take a look. All right, Freddy's there on the street. Oh, that's a border patrol agent walking up to him. Yeah, I'm rolling your windows. Okay, so the driver's driving by. Preddy has the hat.

What is he holding? Uh, go around. Okay. That's a cell phone. That's a cell phone. He's not holding a gun. Okay, so, and you also see he's the one backing up as the, Border Patrol agents are approaching him as he is holding his phone to record because he was an observer.

Okay, one more video. Let's go to the video of the shooting. So I want to warn you, this is where the shooting happens. Pay close attention to the physical altercation and the bullets that are fired. All right, so as you can see, it's a chaotic scene. The agents separate the woman from Preddy, who, Prattie was trying to help her up. So that's where the shooting happens. So we also know that Prattie was in fact carrying a weapon. He was carrying a firearm. That has been widely reported.

It was a legal weapon. Not only was it registered, he had a permit for concealed carry. And law enforcement, we're going to go to law enforcement what they had to say about the weapon in just a minute. But before we do, Jank, opportunity to comment. Yeah. So someone on the extreme right are saying he attacked ICE. I mean, it's obviously not true.

Look, you just saw the video. So this is a litmus test of whether you have eyes and ears. Did he tackle the six ICE agents at once? Or did they push him first? They pushed the woman first. They push the woman first. Then when he's trying to help the woman, they push him first. They cost him, they tackle him.

And in the video where you could see they take his gun away, they take his gun away, they disarm him, and then they kill him. And then there's a pause in the shooting and then they shoot five more times to make sure that he's fully executed. So let's actually show those videos though. Yeah, we're gonna show that in a second. My point here though is that some folks on the extreme right are saying he had it coming. If that's he had a coming, that's interfering with law enforcement and assaulting poor victims of law enforcement. Look, at that point you're so mental, I can't.

There's no reasoning with unreasonable people. reasonable people. Right, like, because that's such a roar shock test. You know, you remember that white dress, purple, blue dress? And you're like, no, it's an orange dress. Like, you saw the video, how could anyone in their right mind thing? Preti is a monster assassin who was looking to execute those agents. Come on, you have to be a lunatic to believe that.

So, all right, so is it worth murdering this guy? Wait till you see the videos of him being disarmed. So I want to first start off with local law enforcement, which gave a press conference soon after the shooting occurred and answered questions about Predi's possession of a firearm. Let's take a quick look at that. I think the video speaks for itself. What I can tell you is we have identified this person, 37 year old white male resident of the city.

The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets, and we believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. Lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. He did nothing wrong. Listen, you either support gun rights or you don't. You are either in favor of concealed carry with a permit, or you don't support it. But you can't on one hand argue that you're a defender of the Second Amendment, and then provide cover for federal agents gunning down.

Americans simply because they were in possession of a legal firearm that they never even brandished. Okay. Now, what's even more damning, Jake, is the fact that he was disarmed prior to the shots being fired, prior to him being killed. Before we go to the disarming, you also can't be in favor of Kyle Rittenhouse going to a protest with a weapon, brandishing it and using it and killing people. But this guy can't show up with a gun to do that.

he never brandished or took out to a protest, make up your minds. You can't have both. It's totally impossible. So I wanted to show you a slow down video which will help you see without and understand without a shadow of a doubt that he was disarmed prior to the agent shooting and killing him. Take a look. On the left hand side, the agent that's walking away has Paredes weapon already before the shooting. And now you see the agent take out the gun on the left hand side and start shooting them. And then, of course, you've got the first round of shots.

They pause. They're like, wait, we're not sure we've murdered him yet. And they take five more shots to make sure that they've executed him. So look, there needs to be an independent and in-depth investigation. I've seen some claims that an officer's firearm went off accidentally. and that's what caused the volley of bullets we hear. We are now hearing reports from Trump administration officials that it wasn't just one agent who fired.

It was two. We don't know what the identities of these agents are because they will not disclose any of that information to the public. And there are issues with whether or not there will even be an accurate, independent, and in-depth investigation into what happened. So we're going to get to those details in just a minute. But, Jank, you know, the aftermath of this shooting and the reaction from the Trump administration was very similar to the reaction we saw from the Trump

administration following the ICE shooting, fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Because the first thing they did is come out and refer to her as a domestic terrorist. In this case, you have some Trump administration officials referring to Predi as an assassin, others referring to him, yes, as a domestic terrorist. I'm gonna get to all of that in just a minute. But any Any thoughts about the shooting itself before we move on to that? Yeah, look, I think that ice and border patrol and all those things are attacking these cities and they're all blue cities in order to cause this kind of violence and unrest and chaos. Why they want us at each other's throats.

Yes. And so now the extreme right is back to kill him, kill him, kill him, right? And the left is back to we hate you and look at these guys saying kill us all, right? And so how do you expect us not to hate you after you celebrate the death of this person? The right wing I know will say then you celebrated Charlie Kirkwork, there we go. Perfect, the people in power are like, yes, they're back at each other's throats. And second objective, establish a police state. And a police state doesn't care if you're armed or unarmed, doesn't care if he's right wing or your right wing or left wing.

Once you have a police state, the people they're going to represent is not Republicans or Democrats, they're going to represent the powerful and the elites. And they are establishing that now. And they're saying, look, this is not even within the bounds of what we consider normal in America. A police state but with badges and names. No, no, no, armed, masked, anonymous gunmen murdering American citizens in the streets. And what they're doing here guys is they're testing the waters.

How much will Americans tolerate? Can we actually murder Americans in the streets and get away with it? Because if we can, beautiful, then America is ready for a police state. Yeah, that's exactly right. This to me goes well beyond immigration enforcement. Look, you can be in favor of enforcing our immigration laws and still speak out against. The big game's almost here.

abusing their power. And that's what's happening here. It's so obviously clear. And think about the history of this country. Think about the recent history of this country. Things get normalized very easily. So if you allow this to be normalized, if you allow federal militarized massed federal agents to show up to cities across this country and gun down Americans lie about said victims later after the fact, after gunning them down and robbing them of their lives, well, then no one's safe in this country. Then we already do live under a tyrannical government. So let's talk a little bit about the reactions from Trump administration officials following this killing. So as DHS did in the aftermath of the Renee Good shooting, they're now lying about the incident involving Border Patrol agent shooting and killing Alex Preddy in Minneapolis.

Now here's Christy Noem doing just that. The White House has labeled the man who was killed in Minnesota as a domestic terrorist. Is that something you agree with? And have you seen any evidence to back up that point? When you perpetuate violence against a government because of ideological reasons and for reasons to resist and perpetuate violence, that is the definition of domestic terrorism. This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers committed an act of domestic terrorism.

That's the facts. Can you show me where he was carrying out acts of violence? You can't, can you? You can't. me any video or any example, there hasn't been a shred of evidence provided showing Alex Pruddy being violent on the scene. Guess what? As American citizens, we have the right to record federal agents when they're in our towns,

when they're in our municipalities, when they're in our cities. We have the right to do that. But ICE agents don't like to be recorded. I wonder why. Why is it that they don't believe in Americans' right to film them as they're out in public terrorizing these cities? Why? Yeah, so Anna, two more things about that.

So she says if you're doing it for political ideology and then you interfere with federal law enforcement, I wonder if what happened on January 6 means that definitely. Well, that's okay because it's people on their side. Yeah. So as long as people on your side do whatever they want to do, you'll provide cover. But if a peaceful individual who's filming ICE agents or Border Patrol agents just happens to be on the scene recording them and they don't like it, well then that's considered violence. deserve to be gunned down. Yeah. And secondly, so they are coming for our First Amendment

rights, that's obvious, right? So freedom of speech, no, unless you speak out against Israel on a college campus or you want to sanction Israel, well, then we're going to take away your property rights, your First Amendment rights. And now Trump, oh, if you criticize me, I'm going to take away freedom of the press, and I'm going to sue you, and I'm going to banish you, et cetera. So there goes the First Amendment in their mind. They would love to totally get rid of. of it entirely and have us serve that police state where no one's allowed to disagree with the government. And then now they're also coming for our Second Amendment rights. So look, I'm not a big Second Amendment guy to say the least. And I've always asked, hey, how do you define

a tyrannical government? How do you know where you're supposed to, you know, do what the right wing has been telling me is their dream? Like, oh, you need a Second Amendment for tyrannical government, right? Well, we kind of have tyrannical government here. But then that goes back to my question of the last 20 years. How do you know when you're in a tyrannical government? What gives you the right to go after law enforcement with weapons? Now, I have never been in favor of the weapons in the first place, let alone go after law enforcement with weapons.

But a lot of right winger said, no, that's what you have to do to terror. That's why we have the Second Amendment. Now they're saying, oh, the Second Amendment's BS. If you walk near a law enforcement officer, you object to a law enforcement officer, you try to protect a woman that they push to the ground. You do anything and you have a weapon, you should be murdered, you should be executed. You're the same guy? You can't be the same guy who told me you needed weapons to be able to object to a tyrannical

government. Yeah, and look, Jenk and I differ on the Second Amendment. I'm in favor of gun rights with some smart regulations to maybe try to prevent bad people from being able to access guns. So I'm in favor of federal background checks without the loopholes that ensure that people who shouldn't have guns are still able to buy them. But nonetheless, look, you have to be consistent on this issue. You can't say that you're totally okay with Kyle Rittenhouse.

I remember when I said Kyle Rittenhouse showing up to the protests and the riots was a dumb idea and people would get mad at me. No, no, he had the right to be there. He had the right to be there. Pretty had the right to be there. And he wasn't. He wasn't brandishing his gun. He wasn't.

And Prattie didn't kill anyone. Anna and I had a debate about that at some point. I hated the idea of Rittenhouse showing up with a weapon. And if you ask me, and by the way, we are asking you, we got a poll on this. If you ask me, do you think Prattie should have showed up with a weapon? No, I say the same thing. I'm consistent on Rittenhouse and Prattie. Do I think that Rittenhouse should have been executed?

Of course not. Are you insane? Do I think that Pruddy should have been executed? Of course not. He didn't take the, he didn't have the weapon on him when he was executed. He didn't brandish the weapon. He didn't take out the weapon. He didn't touch the weapon.

Whereas Rittenhouse did all of those things and killed two people. So you just have to be remotely consistent. By the way, the polls up on t.com, should Alex Prattie and Kyle Rittenhouse have gone armed to the protest? A, only Rittenhouse, and he had a right to shoot anyone who threatened him. B, only pretty because he never brandished his weapon and has the right to carry. C, both, it's a good idea to go to protest arm. D, neither. It's not a good idea to take weapons to a protest.

I'm going to vote D and I might vote B. I'm curious how you guys are going to vote. But either way, you have to have a consistent standard that applies to everyone. Not just, oh, well, I don't like him, so let's kill him. He's on the other side of me politically. So it's okay to execute him and give the police and the government unlimited authority to do so. But hey, but don't use it against me. That's not how things work.

My view is I am in favor of concealed carry with a permit. And he followed the law. I think anyone who is following the law should be protected. And the fact that they're following the law should not be cited as justification for their execution. So let's go to Stephen Miller, who, look, if you thought that he would ever tell the truth about this story, you might be the dumbest person in the country. Here's what he had to say. A would-be assassin, assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorist.

No, you're the terrorist, Stephen Miller, you're the terrorist. But by the way- Assassin, he was an ICU nurse who provided care to our veterans. He worked at the VA. He's an assassin. Yeah, no, no, look, if after that quote, if you believed in Stephen Miller at all and God help you if you did, but that's okay. Now after the court, you see, there's no question Stephen Miller is a liar. No one in their right mind thinks he's an

assassin. If you think he's an assassin, we're never going to reach you because you're on a different planet, right? But for all of you who know, like even if you thought it was a justified shooting, you know he's not an assassin. So you now know for a 100% certainty that Stephen Miller will lie about anything. Anything he's just going to lie about other people? He's not going to lie about you, the guy who loves the idea of setting up a police state, an authoritarian tyrannical government. And by the way, notice the use of the word terrorists that they are using over and over again. That is the Israelification of our government. Because once you call someone a terrorist, you're allowed to murder them. You're allowed to do anything you want

to them. And now they have started calling American citizens terrorists. Watch out. I remember in the early years of the Iraq war, I remember the biggest fear. I remember the biggest fear for people like us was that this terrorist or the terrorist excuse to justify preemptive wars, the use of the word terrorism by the federal government, the label terrorist by the federal government in order to justify their actions will someday turn around and impact American citizens. And here we are today. So even some members of DHS are terrified by these lies as reported by Fox News correspondent, Bill. Malusian who make no mistake about it is very pro immigration enforcement and as a result

of that is very connected to sources over at DHS. So with that in mind, here's what he posted on X today. I'm told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Preti was intending to conduct a massacre of federal agents or wanted to carry out maximum damage, even after numerous. videos appear to show those claims were inaccurate. While they say it was a terrible decision to show up with a gun and inject himself into a federal law enforcement operation, there is no indication Preddy was there to murder law enforcement. As videos appear to show, he never drew his

holstered firearm. So thank you to Bill Malusian for reporting the truth on that. Other reactions come from Democratic lawmakers and politicians. So we have Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. And he wants ICE out of the state and you can understand why, considering the fact that it's only led to chaos and two American citizens getting killed. And he had a phone call with President Donald Trump today, which I had no optimism about, but it appears to have been a productive phone conversation. There have also been reports indicating that Trump is not happy with how DHS reacted or responded

to Preti's killing. And so following his call with Walls, he posted on Truth Social saying that Governor Walls called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call and we actually seem to be on a similar wavelength. I told Governor Walls that I would have Tom Homan call him and that what we are looking looking for are any and all criminals that they have in their possession. The governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be speaking to him in the near future. He was happy that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota, and so am I. We have had such tremendous success

in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tennessee, and anyway, you get the point. The rest of it isn't as important. The most important part is that they had a call. I think Trump is realizing that he is losing a tremendous amount of support among some big name supporters of his, people who voted for him, right? So Dave Smith had already stopped supporting him, but you also have people like Tim Dillon, Marjorie Taylor Green, Greg Abbott even came out and said, yeah, Trump needs to recalibrate here, right? So I think Trump kind of sees the tea leaves here and as a result is kind of looking for a way to de-escalate, not because he cares about doing the right thing, but because he cares about public perception of his administration.

Ted Cruz slimed his way out of whichever hole he was residing in and started saying how they need to talk about these things in a different way. I mean, maybe execute the guy and then have a better excuse for it. But like when you got Ted Cruz opposing you, that means you've lost. Because normally Ted Cruz is groveling at Trump's feet and licking between his toes. Oh, please serve Israel, please serve Israel, right? Well, even he's apparently gathered up the courage to oppose Trump. And it was so shocking what has happened here in Minnesota that it jolted John

Fetterman into remembering he's a Democrat. And even he said, I should get out of Minnesota. He's disgusting. Anyway, so there are also 60 Minnesota business executives who signed a joint letter through the state's Chamber of Commerce calling for immediate de-escalation. So the list goes on and on, there are those who are trying to provide cover for this, but those voices are kind of being drowned out by the overwhelming negative response to what happened on the streets of Minnesota over the weekend. So when we come back from the break, I want to get into how the federal government is blocking an investigation into

this. And we'll also tackle some other angles, including that whole Second Amendment angle to this story. Come right back. Back on TOT. Let's start with YouTube members today. The only me, I-43, writes in so many lies he was a patriot, he was protecting a woman, this is so painful. Yep, with it, gal says, I know people who knew Alex, he was a great man, huge rally here yesterday. Yeah, every count has said that he was like an incredibly kind guy who only look to help people. And by the way, like normally they do character assassination and they probably tried it in this case, but they couldn't come up with anything after they kill someone, but even if he was not an angel, you still don't get to execute him in the streets.

He just happened to be one in this case. M. 33324 says, Jenk was on Pierce Morgan just saw the thumbnail. Can't wait for him to drag whoever he had to. What a wild and upsetting weekend it was. But you know what's interesting is that I didn't have to drag too many people. I know. That was a really good episode. I haven't finished it. I've only watched maybe 15 minutes. It's a good episode because for once Pierce Morgan isn't providing cover for Trump's bad behavior. Yeah, no, no, it's super hard even for the right wing to justify this. And so you'll see they're kind of halfway like, uh, it's kind of bad, right? So, so we, you know, we dominated the day there, although James Carver was weirdly. Subdued and cranky.

What do you mean weirdly? He's always cranky. Well, that's true, but like on a different level. He eventually left in the middle of the show. Oh really? Unannounced? Like just dropped out? Yeah. That's hilarious. Anyways, but nobody, like I don't think was being particularly mean to him.

Anyways, so will all of our appearances eventually go up on t.com slash press? Check that out when you get a chance. Kevin Shea says, I don't know what's more shocking to them disarming and then executing a US citizen or the lies they tell afterwards. Yeah, that's a good question. They're both enormously shocking. Look guys, it's really important that Democratic states and cities make it very clear that they are willing to work with federal agents in deporting convicted criminals who are here illegally. Now, Minnesota claims they've been doing that, but make it a press conference where

where you state it very clearly, formalize it, right? That way you can't have the federal government argue that, well, this is what we're doing because it's a sanctuary state or sanctuary city, and they won't cooperate with us when it comes to these violent, dangerous criminals. Yeah, they have no right to do any of that stuff anyway. Yes. But the sanctuary cities are a larger conversation. That's part of why Obama was able to deport so many people, because back then there were

not sanctuary cities. That's a really interesting conversation. But the bottom line is deescalate, deescalate. But at the same time, protests are the most American things you could do. So can you do both deescalate and do a protest? Of course you can. Stay away from ice and border patrol and all those guys. You're allowed to say whatever you want, whistle, et cetera.

And I love that you do that, but don't, what Anna is saying, what I'm saying is don't give them an excuse to shoot and then to blame the victim afterwards. 7th Fire 70 says, so the second amendment is okay for Republicans, just not liberals and Democrats. The hypocrisy is unreal. Erica Rutherford says, TYT is the first news to relate Kyle to this tragedy. All legacy media chickened out all weekend. Yep, CDN North Dogdad says, call your senators today and demand that they vote no on ice finding, funding, U.S. Senate.

UIT, Jank, Anna, Andrea and I, AJ, Euphoria, Arcane Ecclectic. Thank you for joining. We appreciate you so much. CDN Norse Dogdad. Thanks for gifting a membership, as always. The join buttons below. And one last one, Sammy B33 just joined as well by hitting that button. There's a sad and heartbreaking as this is, they wrote in.

This is an excellent opportunity for the police to completely rebrand themselves. I'm happy to see some police standing up against these ice atrocities. That's a great point, Sammy, because Minnesota police have actually been terrific on this. And this is a great opportunity, just like you're saying, to reclaim policing as serving the community. As public safety. Yeah, that's what it's supposed to be. I agree. They are, the local police in Minnesota are doing that.

So, yeah, it's a good moment to rally around good cops. Yeah, to me, it was a really big deal that local police enforcement in Minnesota, had that press conference to give us some clarity on some of the profiling that's being carried out by federal agents in their state. Because it's impacting sworn officers too. So it's important for us to know that that's actually happening, that it's not a rumor, that it's not some left-wing conspiracy theory. It's actually happening. Anyway, I want to talk a little bit about how the federal government is potentially preventing a real investigation into Preddy's shooting. So let's get into it.

There is some question as to whether the federal government is making moves to prevent an in-depth, independent investigation into the border patrol shooting of American citizen Alex Pretti. Now, Greg Bevito, who's in charge of Trump's immigration enforcement, says that, well, this is kind of very much on purpose. We don't even know the identities of the border patrol agents who were involved in this shooting, And that's very much on purpose. Let's take a look.

From what I understand, there were two agents who fired shots. We know one of the agents had eight years experience, and we know he was a less lethal instructor and had this training. What did the other agent, what was his history? And are they both working right now or are they on administrative leave? All agents that were involved in that scene are working, not in Minneapolis, but in other locations. That's for their safety.

There's this thing called doxing and the safety. of our employees is very important to us. We're going to keep those employees safe as far as the number of shots, the number of agents involved. That again is going to come out in the investigation. Okay, so the individuals who are involved in fatally shooting an American citizen in Minnesota, their safety is the most important thing, according to Bovino. I should note that Trump has reassigned Bovino. He's no longer going to be operating out of Minnesota. He will be replaced with Tom Holman. And while I'm sure the bulk of our audience is not happy about that either,

because Tom Holman is no dove when it comes to immigration enforcement, the fact of the matter is he has been a lot more professional than what we've seen from Christy Noem or Greg Bovino. He doesn't come out and immediately slander, smear, defame people. He withheld comment following the Renee Good shooting saying that there needs to be an investigation. he'll be able to comment after an investigation. So we'll see if Tom Hohman is gonna make the situation any better. But nonetheless, Greg Bovino is not a good look for the administration.

And Trump realized that, which is why he reassigned him, meaning kicked him out of Minnesota. Now, Bovino said in a separate news conference that the agent who opened fire was an eight-year veteran of the agency. But now there are reports, again, that two agents fired shots. And more importantly, it does look like there isn't even going to be a real investigation into this. According to two senior law enforcement officials who spoke to the New York Times, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, which has historically investigated shootings involving federal law enforcement officials, is not expected to investigate the shooting

of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Todd Blanche, the number two official in the department, made the same decision after Renee Good was killed. And on a state level, you have Mary Moriarty, the elected prosecutor in Hennepin County, which includes Minneapolis. She says in a video statement that her office, along with state officials, was committed to conducting an objective investigation into the case. But that might not happen, Jank, because it turns out that the state is being blocked from being able to carry out an investigation. In fact, here is Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans explaining

what he himself experienced. This morning, I was in contact with the Minneapolis Police Department. after the incident that you're all familiar with now, they requested our force investigations unit, respond to the scene, and conduct such an independent investigation as we have in other recent incidents in the city of Minneapolis. What occurred was our team responded to the scene,

and I was in contact with federal authorities to inform them that that was going to occur and that we were responding to the scene in Minneapolis. When our team arrived, they were blocked by federal agents, with the Department of Homeland Security from accessing the scene. We worked with them and were in contact with the FBI, trying to attempt to access the scene so we can gather evidence

to understand what occurred and work through this process. Our team also secured a search warrant for the scene, which is an unusual move in a public area like that, but we did that attempting to have judicial approval to enter this scene to gather evidence. We were once again blocked by federal authorities to go in and do that scene examination. So they're being blocked. I mean, this is not some random person on X.

This is an actual Minnesota official who obtained Jenk the appropriate judicial warrant in order to carry out this investigation. But they're being blocked from being able to do so. Yeah, so a couple things here. First of the excuse about doxing. I remember when Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were killed by O.J. Simpson, oh, no, I doxed them. No, no, with all potential murderers, we never try them. It's never public. You never get to find out. Because now the government runs a secret police state. And if they ever kill an American citizen or execute them in the streets, obviously you can never know who that was. They'll never be tried. And if that's not authoritarianism, I don't know what is.

So and for the people, which is now a small group that is still defending the actions of these guys, okay, then when a Democrat gets into office, is it okay if they have mass gunmen going around to right wing protests, executing people, and then saying, sorry, you can't find out who killed them, that would be doxing. Of course not, because that's absurd. Okay, so number two, Trump is backpedaling and that's good news. That's why he's bringing in Homan to replace Nome. Nome was kind of universally hated at this point. Plus they screwed up by attacking Second Amendment rights.

Cash Patel, Nome all talking about, well, you can't bring a gun to a protest, obviously you should be executed if you do that. Okay, that's a terrible idea, so they lost a bunch of support on the right from their own voters for doing that. So he's trying to adjust. And so that's why they're taking the border patrol guy out. They're taking no amount and they're bringing new people in. So it'll be a nice soft touch with Tom Homan. Okay, but at least it's not that like, well, Chrissy and Nome basically in her handling of this so far has treated American citizens like her dog. Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah. Taking us to a gravelly pit and shooting us and saying, well, you had it coming. You're

slightly bothering me, okay? And finally on what you were mentioning with the cops not being able to do their jobs, local estate cops. Well, as one of our members, Sammy B. who just joined left a comment that we were talking about a minute ago, it's a great point to bring up here. This is actually a good moment for local cops to kind of almost rebrand because there was a lot of bad reputation, especially in Minnesota, home of George Floyd, right? But here's a local cops doing the right thing, doing exactly what they're supposed to do, protecting the community, serve and protect, right? And the federal government's going, oh, you actually want to protect

the community? No, we're not going to let you. No way, we're gonna bottle up to evidence so no one can find out our crimes. You know who covers up things? A guy who's guilty. That's exactly right. I mean, if you aren't worried about these border patrol agents or ICE agents carrying out acts of violence or doing things that are illegal, you would allow for an independent investigation to play out, both on a federal level, and yes, on a state level as well. And there are some principled Republicans, so I want to give them a shout out. They do want investigations into this. For instance, you have Representative Andrew Garberino, who's a Republican of New York and the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. Well, he formally

requested that the heads of ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services testify at a full hearing. You also have this next graphic, let's put this up, this is Senator Rand Paul, who is also calling for an investigation saying today I call on the heads of these agencies, ICBP, USCIS to testify before Homeland Security Committee. And I think that's important. So hearings are one thing. Obviously, a congressional hearing isn't going to lead to potential criminal charges. If there is enough evidence for criminal charges, I would really like for the state to be able to conduct an investigation. And I think the federal government, unfortunately, has lost a lot of trust among the American people when it comes to this

issue. But if they want to conduct their own investigation, great, do it. But it doesn't seem like they really have an appetite to even do that. So we'll see how this plays out. I'm happy that there are some on the right in Congress who are calling for this investigation to take place. Yes, you know Dana Lash Lash how Richard pronounces it. Being principled, really? Wow, okay credit where creditors do, right? In fact, I want to read you one of our members from t.com. As most profits said, I think the NRA coming out and defending Prattie's right to have that gun, kind of weird to agree with the NRA. Trump has forced us into some weird alliances. Definitely. Yeah, and that's actually a great example of it. I loathe

the NRA, I can't stand them. But if they want to agree with us here in this case, happy to take that agreement. And of course, as usual, Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green and Tucker Carlson all seeming to be on the right side of this issue as well. Not to say that they're against ICE, they're just saying the brother, I did have a right to carry that weapon. And that did not look good, that looked terrible. And that's not what we do to American citizens. Great. Very happy to have that alliance. And in fact, we'll talk about that more in depth when we come back from the break. All right, back on TYT, wandering Puerto Rican says, ISIS, the IDF and Americans are the Palestinians.

That's how they're treating us. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. That's exactly how it is. In fact, a lot of law enforcement goes and trains with IDF here in America. Why? Why are we sending them to train with like the Portuguese military or the Peruvian military? No, only the Israeli military. And then all of a sudden, our government starts calling Americans domestic terrorists. That's haunting.

Okay. J.J. Ray disagrees with me a little bit. Or maybe a lot. I don't know. They say, Jank, please stop saying that the Trump slash powerful are doing this to, proposed to separate us. This has nothing new with division. If you're willing to take the bait on this situation,

there's no need for you to be given the grace of saying you are being misled. you're willfully supporting an execution of an innocent American citizen and are okay with fascists. Yeah, so it's a good point to clarify. No, I like this particular case is so shocking that only the very extreme right is on the side of killing him. And there's, as I've said now, like three, four times on today's show, there's no reaching those guys. Like there's, I can't imagine a more extreme case. I think I kind of understand what you're trying to say though, right? Like, I think that a story like this really helps you understand.

understand and see the individuals who are not guided by any real principles or morals or love for our constitution, right? Like, when you see so called gun advocates justifying federal agents gunning down and killing an American citizen simply because he had a legal concealed gun on his person, well, you know that these are not honest individuals that you can have an actual conversation with. Yes, there's that 25% or so of Republicans, we've shown it in the polling, right? That are so extreme, there's no point in having conversation with those folks. You could have the conversation. You could have anything you want, but it's not good. They're not going to move. They're not going to move.

I don't care because they're not going to move, right? I care about the people that can move, and by the way, are moving. And this is actually a good example of it. Now there's the Second Amendment guys who have moved on this and all the folks that we're going to tell you about. Now we're not just talking about war. We're not just talking about Israel or Epstein. We're now on to domestic issues where they're beginning to agree with us on this. But guys, but even then, JJ, that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm saying the sending of the ice in in the first place is meant to create the division. I agree. Right? Because most of the right wing does want the people removed. They don't necessarily want mass deportations, but it's get ice in the street, have people react to it, and have to be a clash. And then, oh, right versus left, great, perfectly divided. That's the point of sending them into the cities in the first place. And I'm also very worried that there's this intention to cause chaos, division, anger among

Americans who are focusing their anger inward, like attacking each other, to eventually get to a place where he can call for martial law. Like I'm genuinely worried about that. This is the beginning of the police state. That's what we've been saying all day. Yes, Jenks left tri-separ furious. He says he was a law-abiding citizen. Up to the moment they emptied their gun on him.

Yep, T01790 says the Trump administration should have known that it was, it is harder to lie now that everybody's armed with a camera in their pockets. Yeah, they can't adjust. It's amazing. They just, and they think, but guys, you know, kind of what's happening is they assumed we can lie to our own voters and they'll always believe us no matter how absurd. But they're not beginning to find out because of online media. That doesn't work anymore. All right, back on TYAT, Jank, Anna, Amartu Singh, Galdabark. There's no way I said it right, but I love you for joining. They hit the join button below. You could also do it through t.com slash join.

immigration enforcement is now sharing that multiple federal sources confirm to Fox News that Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino and some, not all border patrol agents, will be leaving the state of Minnesota imminently. Oh, that's great news. That's a wonderful update. And that is Trump recalibrating going, okay, I screwed this one up. We got to taco our way out of here. But don't even use taco, please.

I know, I hear you. If you don't mock him for it, that's the right thing to do. No, I hear you. Look, in fact, I said on Pierce Morgan this morning, it's a silver lining for Trump that at least he can see when he is headed south and turns around. His intentions were still to go in that direction. Yes. I'm not giving him any credit for any of his instincts or his actions, but at least he knows

that this is terrible for him and he's beginning to turn around. So let's talk a little bit about how some of the These Second Amendment advocates don't really care for the Second Amendment at all. You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have that right to break the law and incite violence. I am sorry that this gentleman is dead, but he did bring a 9mmet or semi-automatic weapon with two cartridges to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. I've been to a protest, guess what? I didn't bring a gun. I brought a billboard.

I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. Conservatives who for years boasted about being staunch Second Amendment defenders are suddenly changing their tune following the slaying of ICU nurse and ICE protester Alex Preddy in Minnesota. Now Cash Patel, Scott Bessent, and Christy Noem all suggested that federal agents were justified in shooting prety. because he had the audacity to legally carry a concealed firearm. A firearm he never brandished, a firearm he never threatened anyone with, a firearm that remained in his holster the entirety of the time until federal agents disarmed him and then proceeded to fire 10 rounds and kill him. Unfortunately, this hypocrisy doesn't stop at the Trump administration officials, but before

we get to the many examples, Jank, your two cents. Yeah. So it's interesting because now some of the elites in the government are agreeing with some of the extreme right like Matt Walsh And they're saying if you're bringing a gun to a protest we get to execute you Fascinating development, but also interesting is that a lot of the right wing or a growing number of the right wing as we're about to show you Are saying no wait, I'm old enough to remember yesterday when we thought it was perfectly legal to bring a gun to a protest So that's another split within the right. And now we're talking about gun control, we're talking about immigration, domestic policy.

So that is a very interesting development. So let's just be very clear off the bat. I know I said this once, I'm going to say it again. Alex Pready was a legal, legal gun owner. The Minneapolis police chief confirmed that he had a permit to carry. Plus he was disarmed prior to the agent shooting and killing him. So since that argument is out the window and we don't need to waste any time on that, Christy Noem moved the goal post and said that Prady was actually breaking the law because

he allegedly didn't have ID on him, which is technically true, but is it something that justifies pumping bullets into his body and killing him? No. So it's not considered a serious crime in Minnesota. Carrying a gun without an ID or permit card is a $25 petty misdemeanor ticket, not a call for execution. On top of which the agents obviously did not know when they shot him in the back whether or not he had ID on him in the first place. So that's a little bit of an issue, isn't it, Christy? And you also heard Noam and Cash Patel, FBI director, unfortunately, claim earlier

that peaceful protesters don't show up with guns. Now Donald Trump made that same argument to the Wall Street Journal saying, I don't like it when somebody goes to a protest and he's got a very fully loaded gun with two magazines loaded up with bullets. Now Dana Lash, former spokesperson for the National Rifle Association, disagrees with that take and said as much on X, writing that you administration people need to watch yourselves with this language. Let's make something crystal clear. It is absolutely 100% legal to attend a protest armed.

I've done it frequently. the issue is inserting yourself into a federal op, either get the language right or stop doing press. But unsurprisingly, members of the Trump administration aren't the only people showing us all that they're massive hypocrites. Republican lawmakers and members of right-wing media are as well. And here are a few examples. He came with a gun and stuck himself in the middle of a riot. that's like I have 35 a few miles from here. People are driving 85 miles an hour on it. And if I just stood on the side of the road, just ran out in front of cars.

Somebody hits me. It's not their fault. There is an obligation on the part of somebody carrying a concealed weapon, whether properly permitted or not, but especially when properly permitted. You need to use reasonable judgment. and you need to follow the law. The Second Amendment does not come without some responsibility. So shame on that individual for creating the very consequences that ultimately cost him his life, unfortunately. Don't let the left kid you with this, that this is just a normal protest where

people are peacefully protesting. No, it's not. Peaceful protesters don't have nine millimeter weapons with two extra magazines. Unbelievable, absolutely. What's particularly unbelievable about that compilation that we just showed you guys, is that it started with Alex Jones, the guy who lied about Sandy Hook being a false flag by the government so they can steal your guns. And here he is making an argument that provides cover for the Trump administration, as they're claiming that this public execution was justified,

because Pruddy was in possession of a legal gun that he never even brandished. Why don't they just say it? If you're a right winger, you can show up with a gun, you could shoot it, you know, like if you're a car written house, you can shoot a guy throwing a plastic bag at you. If you're, you know, the guy who is Zimmerman who killed Trayvon Martin, oh, he's got skittles and like it just murder him and it's all good. As long as you're a right winger, have a gun, kill anyone you like. Oh, you're on the left, how dare you have a gun? What do you think the Constitution of a applies to every American citizen.

Yeah, that's what it does. If you don't like it, then take away the Second Amendment. But there's nothing in the Constitution that says only the right wing can have guns and the left wing can't have guns. So, and by the way, a lot of times the left wing, and I'm not in this group, because I'm for very significant gun control. But there was a lot of people on the left who own guns who were like, you know, we got guns too. Yeah. And at the time, the right one was like, okay, I don't mind. Now, oh, you brought your gun and you didn't use it and you had every gun.

it and you got every right to carry it, terrorist, kill the guy with the gun. Come on, come on. You never meant any of it. Yeah, Predy didn't do anything illegal. Okay, he had the right to be there. He had the right to protest. In the video, you don't even see him protesting. You see him filming with his phone, which really upsets these militarized federal agents

who don't want any accountability for their actions. So, I mean, I've seen now countless videos of ordinary people just standing. they're holding phones, not intervening, not getting in the middle of a official operation by Border Patrol agents or ICE. And they get knocked down to the ground, ice snatches their phones. We're okay with that? No, no, the guy's point could pretending to be in favor of the Second Amendment like Alex Jones. It turns out they're bigger gun control advocates than I am. Because I don't think that if you show up somewhere with a gun that you should be executed. Yeah. Even if you show up to a protest with a gun, I don't think you should be executed. But apparently the right wing,

or at least some portions of the right, people who lied to you and said they were in favor of the Second Amendment go, no, no, how dare you? If you show up to protest the police state and the police are wearing masks and they have no badges and they're, you know, are running basically a tyrannical government, they're putting their boot on your neck and you even possess the gun at any point, you should be executed. Okay, then you never believed in the Second Amendment. So shut up forever about the Second Amendment. You're for much bigger gun control than I am.

Matt Walsh from the Daily Israel Wire says, if you dress up in your militia costume, let's pause. Oh my God. Let's pause. Dress up in your militia costume. I'm sorry, he was wearing a baseball cap and ordinary clothes. What's the militia costume, Matt? No, no, no.

You're a little coward. Anyway, go ahead. No, Anna, it's worse than what you're saying. He's making fun of like people who used to say they're gonna fight the government in the woods, in their militia outfits. I used to make fun of guys like that, right? So now Matt Walsh has become apparently on gun rights a super lip. So far to the left, he's like, oh, we're gonna show up in your militia costume and fight

the police state. You won't, you won't fight the police state, the police state will murder you. and take away your gun. Actually, take away your gun first, then murder you. What happened to Second Amendment, Matt? Now you're making fun of those people? Okay. And of course, I mean, you said that reference to Israel.

In Israel, they do take away all your guns. And then if you criticize the government, they call you a terrorist if you're a Palestinian. And then they murder you. If you dress up in your militia costume, arm yourself, then go out into the street with the express intent of interfering with law enforcement. and then fight back when they try to arrest you and then you end up dead, you only have yourself to blame for that whole series of deliberate and insanely idiotic decisions. Did you feel that way about Ashley Babbit? Do you feel that way about the anti-government militias in this country?

You know? Yeah. Did you speak out against them? You didn't, right? Because you're a pathetic coward who does nothing more than engage in toxic, divisive rhetoric to divide the country. I mean, what is Matt Walsh contributed to this country other than garbage? But anyway, there's more. Just real quick, Anna.

So he says, if you express intent of interfering with law enforcement, well, what was all that talk about you need the Second Amendment to stand up to a tyrannical government? I would imagine if you're standing up to a tyrannical government with weapons, that you would have an express intent of interfering with law enforcement. Yeah. So make up your mind, which one is it? Well, he's not a person who's driven by values or morals or principles. How do I know that?

Well, here's how I know that. This is the same guy who declared that Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero for showing up to a protest with an AR-15-style rifle. Of course. Yeah. Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero. There he is. Definition of pathetic, that's what he is. Okay.

Jack Pesawbiak had a hilarious note on his ex post in which he wrote, those of us who have legal carry permits know that it comes with certain requirements state by state. Having your permit and ID on you are basic stuff. No ID? That's an illegal carry. Lawful gun owners know all this and we practice it every day. So the note, as you can read, says it's a quote from Jack Pesobiac dating back to June of 2022. I don't know who needs to hear this, but all gun laws are unconstitutional. Now he's saying, well, did you have your papers? Because if you didn't have your papers and all your T's are not cross and eyes are not

dotted, execution. Execution. Execution this government gets to execute you. Yeah, these people are dishonest and they are a detriment to this country. And Anna made a great point earlier in the show. They didn't check his papers before they killed him. Right. They did disarm him before they killed him though.

Yeah. Yeah. Then you have Bill Ossaly, who used to be a lawmaker, a state lawmaker here in California. He's now a prosecutor. He's saying if you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. He didn't brandish his gun. He didn't take his gun out of the holster. He didn't do anything threatening with said legal firearm that he had in a holster. But you know, here you have individuals who were supposed to be serving the American people, justifying the slaughter of American people. So that was, by the way, so egregious that multiple gun rights groups spoke out against it.

The NRA called Bill Assaley's statement dangerous and wrong. Gun owners of America even weighed in arguing that federal agents are not highly likely to be legally justified in shooting concealed carry licensees who approach while law. lawfully carrying a firearm. The Second Amendment protects Americans' right to bear arms while protesting. A right the federal government must not infringe upon. Thomas Massey weighed in, and he has remained principled on a number of matters. He says in response to Bill O'Saley, carrying a firearm is not a death sentence.

It's a constitutionally protected God-given right. And if you don't understand this, you have no business in law enforcement or government. And I agree with that. Just want to remind you all of some of the other armed individuals who were celebrated by the right wing, even as they were bearing arms amid protests. You have Patricia and Mark McCloskey who brought weapons to a protest. They came outside of their homes with these firearms and pointed them at BLM protesters back in 2020. And you all know about Kyle Rittenhouse as well.

So yeah, it's silver lining here though Anna. So you've got the usual ghouls and goblers and Matt Walsh. Cash Patel and the government, right? But here we are on a domestic policy issue, one that a lot of folks care about, immigration, one that animates the entire right wing and almost everybody who voted for Trump. And there's tons of dissent even on this issue. And look, for me, I think that they shouldn't kill him whether he has a gun or doesn't have a gun. And there's a little bit of irony here that some of the right wing are supporting him more because he did have a gun.

And I think that that's kind of ironic. But on the other hand, I get why because they then empathize with them more, because they think they're but for the grace of God go I, right? And so I'll take it either way. And as usual, guys like Thomas Massey, I don't agree with him on the Second Amendment. I don't agree with him on gun control. But at least the brother is principled and he stays consistent. That's not too much to ask for.

That's exactly right. And look, let me just say, gun advocates just, just, accomplish something huge in that the Supreme Court ruled that states like California that make it impossible to get a concealed carry permit are infringing on Americans' constitutional right. So after securing that victory, which allows people like me who might be interested in having a concealed carry permit, I'll never bring it to work, don't worry. All of a sudden, okay, even if I do it legally, even if I have the permit, I'm now putting myself in danger because as if some law enforcement official thinks that I'm maybe a little bit of a threat,

they can gun me down and you'll have half, not, I don't want to say half the country, but you'll have a significant portion of the country justifying it, even though I didn't do anything wrong. That's crazy. Yeah, that is absolutely crazy. So that's where we're at. Anyway, all right, we gotta take our break. So when we come back, really interesting statements coming from individuals who once supported Trump, individuals who still support Trump on this matter. We've got Marjorie Taylor Green, Tucker Carlson, and more. Don't miss it. Can't wait to share the story with you.

And if you're not angry, because you should be angry, young Turks. It was genuine. He was bad. Jake Yugar, known online as one of the young Turks, isn't afraid to throw some punches. Three, two, one, fade up. Jank, the Turk Yuga. The TV station is this. The whole point is for me to see all this. cream and tell you what I think. It was right out of like Wayne's World. This guy on this little rinky dink website is speaking truth to power. We've been averaging 600,000 views a day, beating most of the cable shows in America. We're the largest online news show in the world. We're celebrating

our one billionth view. The television, we're coming. More politics ahead with Jane Uger. He knew that the MSNBC opportunity was an experiment. And Philan hosts beat CNN in the headline news come by at some point. They want to give me a show. Every single year that comes out of our paycheck. We put it in and you're saying we were suckers. When you as a host tells someone you're interviewing to shut up, that's going to raise a red flag.

That guy needed a glass of shut up. If President Obama's doing the wrong thing, I'm not going to tell you that he's doing the right thing so I can quote support him. He says to me, you won't believe the meaning that I just have. The head of MSNBC talked to me. They want him off the air. Check took an incredible risk.

We're supposed to challenge the government. That's the role of the media. The Democrats and the Republicans are here to screw you. And who on the air is saying it? I wouldn't have done what he did. That if I'm going to be a talk show host, I should be the biggest talk show host in the country. I don't think anyone else does it better.

I don't think anyone's even close. Before you know it, I'll be back on your TV doing a national show. I guarantee it. Magic is showtime and insane. minutes. I'm hosting today. Now I know what you're thinking. Jay, your face is already perfect, but you know what? I still need to apply some makeup. I went to this process, right? A few years ago, when I realized I was going to have to put makeup on the show. I had to go through, like, finding out what my undertones were. Do you guys know what those are? I got my mad cousins.

It says SPF 15 foundation, broad spectrum. But apparently what I have is red undertones, and I think pores are not supposed to be seen. I need all these things to be confirmed for me. bunch things don't work for me. You gotta use your hands. This idea. That's how the magic really happens. So we're gonna go through a tutorial. How to make the magic happen from beautiful

to beautiful earth. Let's go. I've already been moisturized. That's the first thing. But most of theization already happened. We go raw, all hands. Take up a couple streaks. This is the guy we're putting on makeup.

We got dots. There's some shining points that generally happen. First of all, here we go. You dust here. I'm putting way too much, but you dust. Oh, get the excess off. You don't want chunky, you powder. There's like a T zone, I think, right?

Mine is a double T zone. Because I want middle and another cross. Make sure your nose isn't all shiny. People get on you for it. You don't say, it's not a good point you made on there, J.R. Your nose is shiny. You guys are picky like that sometimes. I think that's about it, fellas.

And ladies, see you guys next time. Bitsies. Tucker Carlson, a terrible friend. That's horrifying. Back on TYT, Jen Ganana with you guys. Also, a wise grip. Thank you for joining. And they hit the join button below the video on YouTube, but really appreciate that.

Look guys, you could ring the bell. That's free and that really helps. Takes about two seconds. But if you join, that is enormously helpful to a show that's trying to be independent and honest and serve all of you guys. And speaking of which Titan of Olympus and Eddie Jameson, thank you so much for gifting five memberships on YouTube.

And Drew Wilson for gifting 20. So you guys are amazing, we love you for it. Let's do more news. All right, so this morning Tucker Carlson slammed the Trump administration's crackdown on Minneapolis. Yeah, you heard that right. And he also called out the so-called conservatives who are conveniently forgetting about

Their support for the Second Amendment as they justify the execution of Alex Preti by border patrol agents simply because he was in the legal possession of a concealed firearm that he never brandished, that he never threatened anyone with. Now before I get to the details of what Carlson said in his newsletter about this shooting, Jank your two cents. Yeah, I'm super encouraged that now agreement has gone to domestic issues, not just issues of war, Epstein and Israel, but now we're getting some agreements on lower drug prices, now even on the core issue of immigration. Not to say that we agree on immigration or we

grant ICE overall, but a police state executing American citizens in the streets is a thing that in the old days we would have just divided up into camps on, and that's still definitely happening to some degree. But here's Tucker Carlson, one of the leaders of the right wing saying, no, I don't think this is a good idea. So it's not. really interesting development. So the headline for this newsletter is Alex Predi's killing was perfect for America's ruling class. Yes. And in the piece, Carlson repeatedly calls out the unnecessary chaos that we've been seeing in Minneapolis.

Minnesota's ice situation has once again devolved into chaos. Enraged demonstrators took to the street shortly after Preddy's death, prompting Tim Walls to deploy his National Guard. He did so for good reason. And by the way, there are some videos that I came across on social media showing National Guard, providing some of the demonstrators with donuts and like those are public servants. When Americans interact with the government, they want to know that the individuals who signed up to be public servants are actually working as public servants, not individuals looking to find any little excuse to execute them. Now, he also writes that regardless of your views on ICE or Donald Trump, it's clear that

what's occurring in Minneapolis is completely out of control. Leaders in Washington and Minneapolis must do everything possible to lower the temperature. What took place in Minneapolis was a terrible story, and it never should have happened. So he later gets into the arguments that are being made by a lot of people on the right regarding Prattie's possession of a legal firearm. Before we get to that though, Jank, you had a reaction to the headline about how this is perfect for America's ruling class. Why do you agree with that? Yeah, honestly, it's literally the same exact thing I said on Pierce Morgan this morning. They wrote the newsletter before, but I hadn't read it. So it's an interesting again,

Populous left, populist right, going, guys, remember, they're going to try to split us up. And because the only thing they could take on the establishment is a united left and right. And are your wages any higher, or drug prices any lower, housing price any lower? And so the reality is they want to create division, hatred among us, because there's a lot of energy on the right and the left. If they use it to address the people who actually rig the system that's above you, they can actually you win. But if they use the energy to attack each other, then that energy is wasted and the powerful absolutely love it. And when you see this kind of American on American violence and chaos in the streets, the powerful are thinking, oh, exactly what we want it. So don't feed into that.

Now Trump has already made some changes in Minnesota, likely because he realizes that what's been happening on the streets of Minneapolis in particular has hurt public perception of his administration. So he has pulled Greg Bovino and some border patrol agents out of Minnesota. And we'll see if that does, in fact, lower the temperature. But later in this newsletter, Tucker Carlson addresses the conservatives who are abandoning their pro-second amendment principles in the wake of Alex Preti's murder. He wrote that reactions have been so factional that supposedly pro second amendment conservatives

are suddenly saying that practicing concealed carry is some sort of crime. That's almost as crazy as exploiting Charlie Kirk's assassination to push hate speech laws. Republicans back the deportation forces and Democrats side with Preddy, even if doing so means abandoning the principles they purportedly hold near and dear. They mold their views based on tribalism, not values. But look, in the case of Predi, I don't support Predi because he was a Democrat. I support Predi because he didn't do anything wrong. At least from everything we've seen, he didn't do anything specifically to justify his public execution by federal agents in broad daylight.

And I think providing cover for that or defending that pulls this. country in a very dark and dangerous place that we will all suffer from. All ordinary people will suffer from. If we green light a police state that allows massed federal agents to gun Americans down willy-nilly with no consequences, I don't know, I personally don't want to live in that country. That's a scary country to live in. Any thoughts, Jen? Yeah, just that, you know, it's a super interesting newsletter.

I read it very conservative and but still principled and pro-American. And so it's it's worth reading in that sense. And you see these surprises all the time. And why is it a surprise? It's not a surprise given Tucker Carlson's actual positions. If you're in favor of the Second Amendment, this should not be surprising at all. That is the correct right-wing position, right? But it's surprising only because in the old days you had Foxx.

news and MSNBC, and they had to almost like, by law, at least the law and the rules and regulations passed by their executives, they had to fight. And they had to disagree on every single issue. But now we have a situation where, as you're seeing here, you know, even if they think, oh, you know, I'm not in favor of Pruddy or whatever it might be, they're like, yeah, but you do have a right to bring a gun. That's, we've been saying that for 20, 50 years on the right. And you do have a right to protest the government. And they can't. You can't take away your First Amendment or your Second Amendment rights. That is a principled conservative position that happens to agree with, by the way, on the

Second Amendment here, we're kind of agreeing with them on almost every other issue. They have come in our direction, anti-war, anti-Israel, et cetera. So in this case, I'm not a big fan of the Second Amendment, but if we're applying the Second Amendment, then certainly you have a right to carry that weapon around, right? And that is certainly the right wing position. That's right. All right, I actually want to move on to the next story. We got to take a break.

After the break, we're going to come back and talk a little bit about the Trump administration hemorrhaging support among individuals who voted for him as a result of the ice operations that have been taking place in Minnesota. We're also going to talk a little bit about what Marjorie Taylor Green believes is the real agenda here. So come right back. All right, back during the social break here. But guys, I want to, I want to read you the last portion of Tucker Carlson's newsletter this morning.

They said the corrupt establishment's best chance of survival is if Americans stop directing their rage at them and instead turn on each other just like they're doing in the wake of Preddy's death. Americas must remember who the real enemy is. Even if average Joe and average Dave vehemently disagree about ICE, they're both victims of Washington's obsession with ignoring the people and serving the powerful. Want to create change? That's great. We do too. Just don't view your fellow American as the obstacle always look up. It's impossible to disagree with that. I mean, look at that. If we wind up having an actual alliance here and take it on the establishment, sorry, but that'll be the greatest thing that ever happened, right? And I'm not saying it's already happened. There's a long road to go, right? But these are good beginnings. And I don't think it's a trick, guys. I think they genuinely mean it. And so I'm very happy to take yes for an answer on looking up, look up, look up, look up.

That's where the power is, that's how you rig the rules. People without wealth or power have no ability to rig the rules. The rules have been rigged against all of us and they don't give a damn if you're a Republican or a Democrat on the right or the left. They only care whether you have power or you don't. Okay, so now let's go to Super Chat. In Liberty and Guns we trust that I'm a libertarian, I would have, I would advise every single one of my fellow law-abiding Americans to purchase any many, purchase as many firearms as you can,

afford and stock up on bulk ammo. It's your God-given right fellow Americans. And please train, if you haven't done any training on firearms, firearms safety, please make sure that you have a safe and you keep it in the safe, if you have children especially. Like be a responsible gun owner. It is a right, but be responsible with that right. So in Liberty and Guns we trust is a consistent viewer of ours, as you see,

libertarian, and he's got guns in his handle, right? So I disagree with what he's saying. I don't want you to stock up on ammo and guns. I think that's a bad idea. But having said that, brother again, like Massey and Tucker and others, way to be principled. That have been your principles all along. I don't have to agree with you. You don't have to agree with me on that.

But you do have to be consistent and you have been. So nice job on that. Dave L. Jones says, I remember conservative protesters entering the Michigan State House to aggressively object to COVID closures. What hypocrites. Yeah, should they have been all mowed down? I remember defending those protesters, right? It's almost as of work consistent.

Yeah. Okay, Felix Delione, thank you for the contribution. Through Super Chat. Citizen Resister says, secret police backed up by a rogue government. It's it is our job as American citizens to resist this attempt at laying this framework for the sake of future generations. Cool, I totally agree with that. Kulho says Trump has solidified total power over us. No, brother, that's the good news.

Not at all. He's backpedaling as we speak, as we've told you. So if he had solidified total power, we'd be completely screwed. He's trying. He's trying. But look at this wonderful resistance against them. It looks like the administration is trying to distance himself from Stephen Miller. Now, this is super, oh my God.

Hold on, don't get too excited. Don't get too, let's just wait and see. I don't want to get too excited. You know how I am. I'm very pessimistic about everything. So let's just wait and see. That would be the greatest news in one time. Okay, yeah.

User error says if these ice thugs keep getting no consequences, even cover for these shootings, then they'll only be encouraged to further violence. Exactly right, super worried about that. Crimes have to have consequences. This was a crime. All right, back on TYAT, Janganana with you guys. And Duane handy, Edwayne, thanks for hitting the joining button below.

We love you guys. Casper. All right, we've got one more story on this shooting that happened in Minnesota over the weekend. Let's get right to it. The White House has labeled the man who was killed in Minnesota as a domestic terrorist. Is that something you agree with? And have you seen any evidence to back up that point? When you perpetuate violence against a government because of ideological reasons.

And for reasons to resist and perpetuate violence, that is the definition of domestic terrorism. This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts. The Trump administration is absolutely hemorrhaging support as they continue to make absolutely vile and untrue comments and statements to justify the murder of, or I should say, the killing of Alex Pretti. Now, Alex Pretti was an observer who was filming border patrol agents in Minneapolis. As they approached him, pushed a woman next to him to the ground, and then proceeded to disarm him and shoot him to death. Now, he was in legal possession of a firearm. He had a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

He never brandished the weapon. He never threatened anyone with it. So everything you just heard there from Christine Ome was meant to manufacture consent for the public execution of an American citizen who never brandished a gun. And according to former Trump devotee, Marjorie Green, this all was meant to push Americans into a civil war. Jank, your two cents. Here we go again, Marjorie Taylor Green coming out largely on our side. Spitting bars. It's amazing.

Wait to you see her quotes on it. And also we're going to share the polling with you guys. looking good for Trump. That's why he's in the middle of a back pedal as we speak. So in a lengthy statement on X this morning, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who was at one time a supporter of Trump but no longer, reiterated her support for enforcing our immigration laws. And it's true, you can be in favor of enforcing our immigration laws while simultaneously criticizing the Trump administration for how they have gone about it. And that's what she did here. She pleaded with

Trump supporters to open their eyes saying that legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm. I support Americans first and fourth amendment rights. There is nothing wrong with legally peacefully protesting and videoing, meaning videoing ICE agents or border patrol agents or law enforcement. You're allowed to do that. It is your right as an American. Now, Green also flipped the script and urge Republicans to question what they would do if this happened to the right under Biden. Imagine if one of our MAGA independent journalists or even just a MAGA supporter stood in the street outside a January J-Sixer's house while Biden's FBI carried out a law enforcement operation, home invasion, and arrest. The Biden's FBI goes to the MAGA guy videoing it all,

and shoves a woman with him to the ground and sprays them with bear spray, then throws the MAGA guy to the ground as MAGA guy was trying to help the woman off the ground. Then Biden's FBI beats MAGA guy on the ground, disarms MAGA guy, and then shoots him dead. What would have been our reaction? And I think we know what their reaction would be. They would be furious, just as any sane person who saw the videos of the Alex Preti shooting are furious. anyone who's actually principled and moral would look at that and be furious about it. And I'm really happy that Marjorie Taylor Green is willing to call this out.

Yeah, I mean, there's so much I'm encouraged by here. So first, you know, the true right, Marjorie Taylor Green, Tucker Carlson, etc. were being principled conservatives, came out and agreed on Epstein files. Now you think, what do you mean? The right wing was in favor of the Epstein, releasing the Epstein files, arguably even more than the left wing. So that's just being consistent. Exactly. Because in the past, both sides would flip their positions completely the minute they got into power, right? So in Trump's first term, whenever Trump said something, it said jump, they'd say how high.

And he'd see, it didn't matter how absurd it was. Almost all the right wing would immediately copy what he was saying, even if they thought it was totally wrong. But in the case of the Epstein files, he's like, okay, now we bury them, right? Everybody change your positions and they're like, wait what? No, no, I'm not gonna change my position. And that was, that was a really important moment in American history, because that was when the break began. Then breaks started happening all over the place.

And they're not breaking against their policies, they're breaking against a so-called leader who's actually betraying their policies. So like First Amendment is another great example. Trump Brown ran on freedom of speech. Freedom, freedom, freedom of speech, right? And then he turns around and goes, okay, now everybody complaining about Israel, shut up. Otherwise I'll have you arrested, deported, denaturalized, all these different things. And again, the right wing that are the true right, are like, wait, we were in favor of freedom of speech.

I could remember it, it was only like two days ago, right? Yeah. And so they're sticking with that. Now on this one, now we're at government tyranny. And they're like, wait a minute, the government's shooting you just because you have a gun. A legal weapon, a legal weapon, that's government tyranny. Guys in mass, et cetera, this is getting sketchy. And then finally, for now, I love that she's doing shoe on the other foot.

I mean, how many times have I done shoe on the other foot? And guys, the reason why that's so important is because it breaks the cycle of hatred. It creates a tiny bit of empathy. So you can go, oh, right, wait a minute, if it was a Biden government shooting illegal gun owner who is a right wing of protesting COVID, I'd be irate, I'd be super man. By the way, we also do that on the other side. We tell Democrats, now imagine if Trump's babbling and we defeated Medicare, although he might brag about that.

We'd be like, hey, that guy looks senile, right? I mean, that does happen, though. Yeah, that does happen. Look, that's actually a really great example, right? You see a lot of people on the left, broad left, I'm not saying leftist, but just Democratic voters who provided cover for Biden when he clearly was lying to the American people about his, the state of his health, let's just put it that way. But then at the same time, they attack Trump over his senile behavior. Right. And it's like you've got to be consistent on this. Because at the

end of the day, what matters is whether or not the American people in general, regardless of where they are on the political spectrum, are actually being served by our public servants. Are they actually doing what's right for the American people, regardless of what their political identity happens to be. Yeah, one more really important thing about that, guys. So if you were a Democrat who couldn't see that Biden had become, you know, some form of dementia, senility, et cetera, I get why, because that's all you heard from your media sources. So it's really hard to see straight. So when, if you were in that camp, now we were not in that camp, but that's okay. That's okay. If you were in that camp, I'm asking you to realize why sometimes people on the right have a similar problem where you go,

well, they sound crazy because their media sources are telling them things that are demonstrably wrong, but they don't know that. Just like you couldn't tell the Trump that Biden was losing it, that he was too old, they can't tell all these different things that we see clearly. So that's why online media is making an enormous difference before Fox News and MSNBC were assembly lines of talking about. You're trying me crazy with this point because, Jake, I get it, I get it. Mainstream media, they served as gatekeepers and they all were in line with the same BS messaging.

I get that argument, but like part of the problem right now is algorithms keep us in our bubbles, right? So right wing media watchers, they're in a right wing bubble, left wing media people or people who watch left wing media, they're in a bubble. You literally have to go out of your way as I do to make sure that you're getting a full picture. So as much as I love independent media, as much as I agree that it's overall a good thing that the internet has allowed the news industry to be flooded with different options for people, these tech algorithms are really not great for us. So Anna, you're right about the algorithms, but the nuance here, and it's super important, is yes, but in the past there was only two bubbles, and the bubbles were always always,

meant to be 100% in opposition. Now there's hundreds of bubbles. No, there's still two bubbles. No, there isn't, no way. There's the Young Turks, there's Tucker Carlson, wait a minute, there's Mark Levin, there's Joe Rogan, just take those four, but I give you 40 more. We all say different things, and sometimes now Tucker and us are agreeing, right? But the guy who used to watch Mark Levin and Tucker on Fox News say relatively the same things.

Now he's got to use his mind and decide which bubble to go in, right? That's fair, that's fair. Okay, so this is the really relevant part of what Marjorie Taylor Green had to say, though, and I think she's making a good point here, and this is what I'm really worried about. Both sides need to take their political, take off their, let me start that again, both sides need to take off their political blinders. You are all being incited into civil war, yet none of it solves any of the real problems that we all face, and tragically, people are dying.

I mean, see, that's such a great example, right? Before Fox News would have said, no, it's great, you shoot them in the head, et cetera, and that would have been the entire right-win position. Now, we just showed you in back-to-back stories, in fact, three back-to-back, Marjorie Taylor Green, Tucker Carlson, Tom Massey, let alone many, many others, but those three, as usual, being the stalwarts, all saying the same thing I said, independently not knowing their positions, they didn't know my position, and the same thing I said on Pierce Morgan this morning,

which is they're looking to divide you. Americans stay together, stay consistent, and understand that your opponents are not on your left or your right, they're above you. Fight up. Now look, there was a national poll from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and that poll recently showed that 57% of Americans believe that the U.S. is on a path to a civil war. That is terrifying. And I think we're starting to see the beginning signs of that in places like Minnesota. So I am worried about that.

And now you have Marjorie Taylor Green saying, yeah, you guys are being incited into a civil war. And even experts are saying that we're headed down that path right now, including Claire Finkelstein, who's a professor of law and philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. So she says, she cites an exercise that she was part of. So she basically ran a simulation back in 2024. So that's what she's citing here in the excerpt. I'm about to read you. In that exercise, a president carried out a highly unpopular law enforcement operation in Philadelphia

and attempted to federalize Pennsylvania's National Guard. When the governor resisted and the guard remained loyal to the state, the president deployed active duty troops resulting in an armed conflict between state and federal forces. The core danger we identified is now emerging, a violent confrontation between state and federal military forces in a major American city. our hypothetical scenario picked a different city and a slightly different sequence of events, the conclusions we reached about the possibility of green on green violence are directly applicable to the current situation. So hopefully things don't continue to escalate, and

there are already some positive signs indicating that Trump is trying to de-escalate the situation after he had a phone call with Governor Tim Walls of Minnesota. So Greg Bovino, who was overseeing Border Patrol operations, has been pulled out of Minnesota. There are some reports indicating that he might get fired, but it's too soon to confirm anything like that. So take that with a grain of salt. Border Patrol agents have also been pulled out of Minnesota. So it looks like he's looking to de-escalate, and I'm hoping he does go in that direction. One quick thing about Marjor Taylor-Green before we do the polls, because the polls are important.

So some of you might be tempted to say, well, wait a minute, just a couple of months ago, wasn't Marjorie Taylor Green talking about a national divorce? She was, and I said at the time that's a terrible idea, I don't agree with that. And now she's turning around and saying, no, no, no, no, don't do civil war. Don't be at each other's throats. So there's two potential reactions to that. Ha, ha, you're inconsistent, and you need to apologize for your earlier positions. Or the other way is, oh, great, that's awesome.

You've now come to the right conclusion. Love to have you here. Not only that, I mean, guys, she had that reaction immediately following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, right? So emotions are going to fly high after someone on your side gets assassinated. And the initial statements coming from the Trump administration is that a leftist did it. You know? Yeah, no, no, I get it. I'm not justifying what she said in wanting for wanting a national divorce to happen. I'm just saying like it's not like that came out of nowhere and she just hates the left and

wants to separate. No, no, I understand. But my point is, even if you hated that position, which I didn't agree with that position, once she's come to the correct position, the position that we agree with, then just say, wonderful, happy to have you here. You don't have to further insult people after they've already come towards you. I know, it's a revolutionary thought and I'm, you know, a lot of folks don't agree with me on that.

Say yes for take yes for an answer. Especially if you want to win. Yeah. That's that's how that's how you win. But anyway, okay. Let's talk a little bit about public perception toward the Trump administration and its immigration policy. So Harry Enten has updated the American people on how the Trump administration is being perceived by Americans, especially as it pertains to some of these ICE and Border Patrol operations.

Now, let's start off with the first video. we're gonna get a little sense of how Trump is doing. ICE is not approval rating during Trump's terms. You go back to term number one. Look, it was pretty even at zero points. You go to June 2025, right? That was when all that stuff was going on in Los Angeles. They dropped down, look at this, minus 17 points, way in the basement.

But then after Minneapolis, it's even lower, minus 27 points on the net approval rating. And as you can see, that's based on an average of polls. coming from Fox News, Quinepiac, Siena College. And so it gives you a more comprehensive or robust sense of how Americans feel about ice. And I think that's pretty accurate considering the fact that most Americans don't want to see militarized federal agents and masks in their neighborhoods. They don't like that. Yeah, so now you see Trump be playing nice with Tim Walls, you know, potentially replacing Nome with Holman, at least in Minnesota. and how they're dealing with it.

He pulled bovine disease, as Anna explained to you, whoever that guy's name is Border Patrol guy. Bovino. Yeah, bovine disease. And so. It's unfair to cows. Okay, sure. But why is he doing that?

Because of minus 27 in the polls. When you get to minus 27, that's when you go back pedal, back pedal, back pedal, and he's trying to get the hell out of there, which is great. I'm glad he's backpedaling. I don't want him to dig in further. But also, great job American people.

You were united in saying, we don't want this. That's right. All right, let's go to one more video here. I'm going to go to D4, actually, because this is on Christy Knomes approval rating. She is, of course, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. In July of 2025, it was minus 11 points. It's actually gotten more unpopular now at minus 16 points. I looked at every single poll that has been conducted on Christy,

POMS popularity, every single one, the net approval rating has been negative. ISIS is negative, DHS is negative. As I said at the top cake, this has been an absolute political disaster for the President of the United States. That's right. And look, this is why I can totally understand being furious with the Trump administration. I'm furious with the Trump administration. But what you just saw in that video is how the American people feel about the Trump administration. So when you're feeling angry about what's happening under a Republican administration,

don't take that anger out on Republican voters because chances are that there are plenty of Republican voters out there who don't agree with what's with what is happening. And on top of that, ordinary people don't have power in this country, right? So direct your ire and think about your safe legal strategy in fighting back when it comes to people who actually have the power. Yeah, so to that point real quick, I think even more accurate to say Republican voters as Trump voters, because a lot of independents also voted for Trump. Yes. And those are the guys we have to win back most. And good news we kind of already have. The only thing is there's nothing that Democratic leadership can't screw up. That's for the elections. But for now, guys, the country's getting united in opposition to Trump's positions. That is, that's great. We look, the reason I voted against Trump is because I knew that he, he was gonna do this and that it was not a good idea. Okay, a lot of people didn't see that coming, but now they see that it has arrived.

And that is super important. So let's all get together and turn around. And by the way, what the Democrats should do is don't give him another corporate Democrat. Isn't they, then you're gonna make this a real contest in 26 and 28. Give him someone who's populist left with super popular positions that the American people want. And that serves the average American, then you will win these elections easily. Just please don't go back in a corporate direction. Well, good luck with that.

We got to take our final break. When we come back, we got to talk about the Ted Cruz audio leak because he's actually really not a fan of Trump or JD Vance. And he tells his donor something completely different. So we've got that story more. Come right back. Bough chickie, wow, wow, going down. I love cows.

Let's go to Super Chat. November 1775 or Nove 1775, Jim wrote in, I like my TYT bubble. That's funny. But look, I think we're the only show that says, no, no, no, no, go verify what we're saying or among the few shows. Make sure that you're not in a bubble. Go get data and facts. And you'll see as a lot of the AI and the chats and the grocks and whatever the hell, et cetera. All those things are confirming what we're saying.

Why? Because we bothered to look it up. Because we're actually trying to do news, right? So the Atlantic is reporting. Greg Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol commander at large and will return to his former post in California where he's expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people familiar with the change. That's huge guys. I really hope we keep going in this direction.

I just do not want us to descend into the type of country. that allows the federal government to just shoot and kill American citizens willy-nilly with no consequences. I think that they're gonna build a statue of Alex Prattie. And I think that he is in some ways, will be considered a fighter for freedom. And guys, remember, it wasn't just that he was protesting ICE. What did he do? He looked to help that woman that ICE had knocked down or border patrol had knocked down.

Yeah, by the way, what's the justification for ICE doing that? For knocking that woman down. And bear spraying her. Yeah. Because my guess is she had said something that hurt their feelings. Maybe. And by the way guys, as I've- Justify doing that to her.

Yeah, no, my- that's my point. As I said with Renee Good, I'll say it in this case too. It's not a manly thing to attack women, to shoot women in the head, to push women, to pepper spray women because they hurt your feelings. That's actually a super weak thing to do. Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem and her close advisor, Corey Lewandowski, who were both Bovino's biggest backers at DHS are also at risk of losing their jobs, two of the people told me. Oh, wow, wait, say the names again.

This is the Atlantic. The Atlantic is reporting this, that Christy Noem and her close advisor, Corey Lewandowski, who were Bovino's-Lewndowski. Who were Bovino's-Lewndowski, right, right, okay. So they're, the worst kept secret in Washington is that they're lovers. And there's a lot of people who already hate Lewandowski, so that's probably hurting Noem. I want to go to this comment because it's a dissent. Mark Keister wrote it on a super chat. Please stop your right wing cuddling.

Your anti-war buddy Tucker was licking Trump's boots this month, supporting the attack on Venezuela. No, he didn't. Why bother? You won't read this critical feedback from a 10-year member. Oh, I just read it. Okay, so Mark, here's the situation. Look, nothing but love, brother.

You get, you're mad at me? No problem. You think I'm cuddling them? No problem. Okay. Just see how it goes. And today, you're saying, oh, my buddy Tucker sucks when he's agreeing with us. on this issue.

Did you ever think that Tucker Carlson would agree with us on an issue like this? But I know what you're saying not good enough. No, I, I, Cenk, you don't hate them enough. I want you to hate them more. Sorry, I'm not gonna do it. And I think Mark, you're gonna turn around one day and go, maybe the hate wasn't a good idea.

Maybe we're on the left and we're on the side of, of actually being of love and uniting people and being one country, et cetera. But I got no bad feelings. It is what it is. It's okay, you have a different MP. Tucker Carlson, a terrible friend. That's horrifying.

All right, back on TYT, Jenkinana with you guys. Look, guys, there's a billion comments I wish I could read. We gotta do this last story, and then afterwards, I'm gonna interview Ken Clippenstein. He has some amazing stories. some amazing stories he broke, including DHS keeping a list of domestic terrorists. So don't miss that interview. It's at the top of the hour, but we got more news for you now. All right, so this is entirely different from everything we've been talking about, but I just

couldn't resist talking about this story. So let's get into it. Senator Ted Cruz was caught trashing Donald Trump and J.D. Vance while speaking to his donors in a secret recording that was obtained by Axios. Now Cruz slammed Trump's tariff policies, And even went after J.D. Vance and says that he would fire staffers if they repeat something that Trump is in favor of. He also called J.D. Vance a pawn of Tucker Carlson, which I think is interesting. But, Jank, what are your initial thoughts? Okay, two cents here. One is, isn't it amazing how all these greasy politicians say something completely different off air than they do on air. It's not amazing. It's the most expected thing imaginable. It's the most usual thing

possible. So you're gonna see more of that here. And it's, especially from Ted Cruz, not surprising the king of slime. But the second thing is the JD Vance angle. Why now all of a sudden I'm starting to see Israel first be discomforted by JD. No, don't find, it's a lie, hold on, hold on, hold on, that's why I'm saying. He's a little bitch boy for Israel. No, I got you, but that's why it's interesting. So what in the world is going on with J.D. Vance? He's a bitch boy for Israel.

Okay, let's do this. They're all lying, don't let anyone launder J.D. Vance's reputation as some isolationist or anti-war person. He's not, okay? He's a puppet of Peter Thiel, Palantir, all of the people who are profiting off of the mass slaughter campaign in Gaza. So don't make that mistake. So don't make that mistake.

We'll get to that in a minute. Yeah, I have a theory on that, but go ahead. Okay, my theory is everyone's lying about him being an isolationist. Okay, with that in mind, the recordings, which are nearly 10 minutes long in total, were given to Axios by an anonymous Republican source. Now the conversations allegedly took place in mid-2025, and they provided an unvarnished look at how Ted Cruz is positioning himself as a traditional free trade pro-interventionist Republican, in the lead up to 2028.

Homeboy thinks he's going to run for president again. Oh, he's definitely going to run. It's hilarious. And he's going and he's groveling to Israel first and he's going to collect an enormous amount of money. And I'm going to love seeing it wasted. So in one part of the recordings, Cruz recounted an explosive conversation he had with Trump regarding his tariff policies.

And so he shares this with the group of donors saying he tells them that after Trump introduced the tariffs in early April, 2020. Cruz and a few other senators had a call with Trump in which they urged him to stand down. Cruz says the lengthy call, which stretched past midnight, did not go well, and that Trump was yelling and cursing. Trump was in a bad mood. I've been in conversations where he was very happy. This was not one of them. And according to Axios, Cruz says he told Trump, by the way, I don't believe that Cruz is the tough guy. He's making himself out to be in front of his donors. But this is what he allegedly, this is what he told donors, he said to Trump.

Mr. President, if we get to November of 2026 and people's 401ks are down 30% and prices are up 10 to 20% at the supermarket, we're going to go into election day, face a bloodbath. You're going to lose the House. You're going to lose the Senate. You're going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week to which Trump allegedly responded with a simple F you, Ted. Does anyone really believe that Ted Cruz has the Cajones to push back against Trump on literally anything? Literally, anything, because I don't believe it. So he is telling his donors who probably hate Trump's tariff policy.

Oh, but you know, I'm fighting for you. I told Trump what's what? Hmm, but you didn't. You didn't do that. I don't believe it for a second. That's interesting. I hadn't even thought about that. I, because it sounds believable like Cruz would kiss the ass of his donors and his donors

were not happy with Trump's tariffs, et cetera. But I see what you're saying. He mightn't got the best of both worlds when he's on the call with Trump. He could say, oh, daddy, it's okay, daddy. I'm on your side, daddy. Where's your boots, Daddy? I wanna clean them. And then he gets on the phone with the donors and he's like, oh my god, all my momies

and daddies are here. So, and what's interesting about the donor calls, guys, by the way, also on the Democratic side, there's two issues they are super consistent on, never waiver from. Corporate Democrat or corporate Republican. One is we will serve the corporate rule with complete loyalty. Chamber of Commerce, whatever you need, business interests, giant multinational corporations. I will screw over the average American a thousand times to help you. And the second one, of course, is Israel.

Oh, we serve almighty Israel. Screw America, what do you need? We'll take it from the stupid Americans that we've tricked into believing that we're their representatives and give it all to you. As long as you keep the good old bribes coming, and that's what, this is Ted Cruz begging for bribes. That's exactly right. That's why I think he's just playing both sides.

And I don't believe for a second he had this like, ooh, heated conversation with Trump. And during part of the conversation, Cruz jokingly added that if any of his staffers ever referred to Trump's unveiling of tariffs. as Liberation Day, they'd be fired right there on the spot. This guy is such a slimy politician. Cruz also told donors about battling the White House to accept a trade agreement with India. When a donor asks who in the administration is resistant to reaching such accords, Cruz mentions White House Economic Advisor Peter Navarro, which is believable, Vance, and sometimes Trump.

Okay, so let's get to Cruz and how he goes out. after J.D. Vance in particular, because he didn't just trash Donald Trump. He brought up Vance a lot, according to Axios. He accused Vance of advancing Tucker Carlson's anti-interventionist foreign policies. He said, quote, Tucker created JD. J.D. is Tucker's protege, and they are one and the same.

Okay, what I know without a shadow of a doubt is that Peter Teal created J.D. Vance. Peter Teal is a Zionist. There has never been any real indication from J.D. Vance to prove to me that he is anti-war, anti-interventionist. I don't know where this comes from. I don't know who made this up and I don't know why it catches on. But J.D. Vance will bow his head and do as he's told if he becomes the next president.

I guarantee it, I would literally bet everything I own, including the shirt off my own back on that. So like where does that come from? Okay, well, I put another shirt on. But you get what I'm saying? Like where did it come from? Where's the evidence? I want to see something substantive that proves to me that J.D.

Vance wouldn't be the same war monger as everyone else in the Trump administration right now. So what they are doing, and so this gets to my J.D. Vance theory is, every time there's a new bombing, they make sure to leak that J.D. Vance was hesitant, right? Wow, hesitant. He gave a note of caution. Oh, note of caution. Okay, so now why are they doing that? They're setting that up so that after the wars turned into disasters and ice in the streets turn into disaster, etc.

They can say, no, remember that Axios report by Barack Ravid saying that JD Vance was a slightly hesitant? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now we need you to fall for this trick again, okay? And so look, they do this every freaking time again on both. sides, but like, but we saw J.D. Vance in the Petri dish. Yep. We saw when he was polling at 1% and Peter Thiel came in and squeezed a two full of $10 million into that petri dish. Yep. And then and then Vance blossomed, etc. So if there is a secret secret plan and he's actually not pro-Israel and not this and not that and

not pro corporate rule, that's impossible, totally impossible. I mean, you're not going to hand the country over to Silicon Valley? Of course you are. I mean, that's your daddy and mommy, right? But okay, okay, if you have a secret secret plan, brother, no, don't tell me three years later, tell me now, okay? Or, you know, I get some political machinations after the midter, I don't know. But what I'm not going to accept is after everything is said and done and you were vice president, then you come and go, I secretly disagreed with everything Trump did. No way. Kick rocks, don't believe you at all. And in fact, I mean, look, which industry aside from defense contractors, the typical

defense contractors like Boeing, Raytheon, blah, blah, which other industry or sector of the economy has profited handsomely off the slaughter campaign that Israel has carried out in Gaza? The defense industry. The tech companies. And the tech companies. Right. And Vance is a product, a creation of a. big player in the tech industry, Peter Thiel.

Palantir is the surveillance state and Palantir are talked about how they basically experimented in Gaza and so they'd like to bring that Frankenstein over here. No thank you, no thank you. I mean, J.D. Vance, if he wants to prove that he's not in the pocket of those guys, good news, he's got a lot of power. He's a vice president of the United States of America, arguably the second most powerful person on earth.

So you're gonna do anything about it? If you don't, I have a very tall glass of shut up juice waiting for you in 2028. That's right. Yeah, all I've seen from JD Vance so far is his regurgitating and parroting of everything that the Trump administration has been doing and getting heat for. So when it comes to Venezuela, right? Oh, anti-interventionist J.D. Vance really spoke out against that, right? No, he didn't.

But he was slightly hesitant according to Axios. Was he though? Okay guys, by the way, look, it's not like we're saying, oh, okay, he doesn't agree with the left so JD Vance shouldn't be the nominee for the Republicans. No, no, no, I'm saying be true to your own principles. So is there anybody on the right doing that? Sure they are. Tom Massey is, Marjorie Taylor Green is.

So I can show you exact examples of someone sticking with their right wing ideology, anti-war ideology and all the things that they ever said. And we disagree with them on other things and some of the things that they're is still consistent on. But at least you go, okay, there's a person I can trust means what they say, even if I disagree with what they say, right? But don't tell me, oh, no, you should trust what I say because I secretly thought it in my head. Right. All right, you're gonna have a conversation with Kenny Clips. I am indeed. Super excited. Yeah, Clips.

He's got a story on DHS list, getting a list of domestic terrorists ready. You saw a video about it, and then there's the warrantless intrusions into our homes. Ken's got that. We'll talk a little bit of Israel as well. So that's coming up at the revolution. You know the show is live every day. Young Turks says 6 to 8 p.m. He started at 8 p.m. we're doing the revolution and doing all sorts of different interesting

interviews there. And so we're gonna do that in a second. So for all of you who wrote in, thank you. K Dragon battling for truth and justice is the last one I'll read. I love it when they disagree like this on Arafirne and Anna. It shows that TYT is a company of individuals not monitor or controlled by some higher corporate power. Very true. Yes, thank you.

We appreciate that. And for those, although some people thought, oh, we're controlled by Peter Thiel. F. Peter Thiel. How about that? Is that clear enough? Well, I'll be right back. Stop with the questions. Celebrate.
