0:00 Tom H. Home. Home. Home. Home. Home. Home. Home. Home. Home. Homeman, the president's borders are in an early morning press conference announcing Minnesota's top Democrats might be bending a little on their sanctuary city policies. I'll believe it when I see it. We haven't heard anything from them. I love Tom Hman. I'm not saying he's being insincere. I just don't trust Do you trust Jacob Fry? I refuse to call him Jacob Frey. I I won't. He's like a Fanny Willis to me. It's Fry. Um, I don't trust him. All he's been saying is we will not assist. We're not helping federal immigration policy, which is exactly what his sanctuary city policy says. He's being totally consistent with the the will of his voters. Uh, and the policy that's in place right now in Minneapolis. So, I mean, Tom Hman says he's changing. He says Keith Ellison, the state attorney general, has said that this is an okay thing to do.

0:59 to to have the county and city jails now let ICE know if they have a criminal in custody who's about to get released who also has an ICE detainer on them. Something they haven't been doing. Okay. Is is this mayor actually going to do that? Cuz all we keep hearing from him is no, I'm not doing that. And we've been looking for his reaction. We've been updating the Minneapolis Star Tribune to see if he spoke out with them. I I don't see him saying that. I see Homeman saying that the AG Ellison who's in hot water of his own thanks to the fraud scandal there has said that it can happen. I mean, I have a legal opinion from Keith Ellison that he issued not long ago saying it's contrary to law for them to do that. that it's contrary to law in Minnesota for the local jails to hold any detainee, any any criminal longer than they're supposed to be held in order to facilitate an apprehension by ICE. He says it violates the Fourth

2:11 Amendment. So, I guess under Keith Ellison's interpretation, what has to happen is the local, the county, and city jailers have to make sure as the detainee, you know, as the the criminal, like whatever, you're an illegal, you get arrested for DWI, you're sitting in the county jail, you bail out, now you're about to get released. What the Ellison legal opinion that's already on the books says is you cannot hold him any longer to call ICE and say, "Hey, he turns out to be an illegal. We're about to send him back out onto the streets.

2:39 do you want to come get him because you got a detainer against him. They don't do that in Minneapolis. They do do that in all cities that are not sanctuaries. And now Homeman's saying, "Okay, we reached an agreement with Ellison that they're going to help us now." So, I guess is the distinction they've got to call ICE before the guy actually gets the bail because under this Ellison legal opinion, they they're not allowed to hold them for one minute longer than than when they're supposed to be released. So, what exactly is happening?

3:09 I mean, I love like I love that we're saying, you know, we've reached an accommodation. I'd love to hear from the guy who actually has to do it, the mayor of Minneapolis, who's a complete prick and has zero interest in helping enforce federal immigration law. And by the way, just in case you missed what really happened today, what really happened was in an effort to take down the temperature which was raised by these agitators on the street, Trump said we're going to give up on anybody who's not a criminal. I know. I know. Tom Hman said, "We're not doing that." I know. He said, "No, no, we'll still, you know, we'll go after the ones who aren't like also criminals on top of being illegals." Um, we will like he basically made it sound like if we encounter them, we're going to get them. But the mission has changed. Don't fool yourself. Tom Hman went in. There was a divide between Christy Gnome and Cory Lwendowski

4:01 reportedly on the one side and Tom H. Homeman on the other and a couple of others who are on his in his camp on who we should be going after. And Gnome and Luwendowski wanted it to be everyone. Illegals who are here period. And yes, we should prioritize the criminals, but like we should also be getting the illegals. That's what we were elected to do. And Tom Hman's general approach has been, and I I understand it because we only have limited resources, worst first. The worst first. Let's prioritize the criminals. And now, believe me, it it it appears that the accommodation we've reached with these locals is we are just going to go after the criminals. And when Tom Hman was specifically asked, "What about the others?" Like, that's got he was like, "Oh, no, you know, they're still technically on the agenda." Oh, I mean you I'll play you the sound as we go through the opening. You'll decide for

4:54 yourselves. Um I'm sorry, but that's not what we voted for. We actually did vote for all of them to get out. And so this is a win for these protesters that it is. Um like the president's ardent defenders are going to try to spin it. It's like, no, it's not. He hasn't given an inch. You know, he's tripling down. No, he isn't. He isn't. I mean, it was very clear. And I love Tom Hman. He's doing the president's bidding. the president decided to turn down the heat because his poll numbers are falling on this. I get it. I get it all. But I'm not going to lie to you about what's happening.

5:27 You know, administration officials may try to spin you. That's not happening here. Um so now we're going to prioritize just the illegals, just the ones who have committed an additional crime. And we are also drawing down the number of officers who are in Minneapolis in exchange for this alleged cooperation. Where's the Minneapolis mayor? Where's his statement? Okay, because Keith Ellison is the state attorney general. The state of Minnesota has already been cooperating in this way. We explained this to you yesterday. The state isn't technically a sanctuary state, though it has many sanctuary policies. It's the cities and the counties around Minnesota who have been refusing to cooperate with ICE. So, it's great for Keith Ellison, who again is himself at the center of this fraud scandal involving all the Somali. We played you the tape of him working with them, trying to say, "Oh, this isn't a

6:28 big deal, and how can I help you?" And so on. He's he's exposed. He denies wrongdoing. He's there saying, "Okay, we'll cut a deal where um you know, we'll let these locals help you." Okay, you're going to you're going to let them I mean, you're you have a legal opinion saying they can't under the Fourth Amendment. And also, the local officials are not saying that they're on board. So, that's where we are. A new year means new financial goals like making sure your savings are secure and diversified. Will this be the year you decide to talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? They use an educational approach with a deep understanding of macroeconomics. There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold.

7:51 At the same time, there's a stunning I mean, it's not really surprising, but it's stunning in its own way. New video of what the left's latest hero, their latest poster boy for decent, law-abiding observer, Alex Prey, was in fact up to the week before his fatal shooting by Border Patrol officers last Saturday. We've heard a lot about how Prey was just an innocent protester, a caring nurse, just making his voice heard in opposition to Trump's evil deportation policies. There were reports that Prey had had, we opened our show with this on Tuesday, a previous confrontation with federal officers. And now we have the video, and we have it from two different angles, and they're very, very telling. Turns out it happened on January 13th in Minneapolis around 10:15 a.m., 11 days before the fatal shooting. The video was filmed by a media outlet called the News Movement.

8:46 The footage was first verified by the BBC and later PR's parents confirmed that it's him in the video. And let me just tell you something. As soon as this hit, you had the left realizing that this is a terrible video for their side because they're trying to lionize this guy and make him into Mother Teresa. Um, immediately saying it's fake. Never heard of this news movement. How do you know it's the BBC? I mean truly you should see like I posted it almost immediately all my comments from leftists. Are we sure this is BBC? How do we know? Is it real? The guy's parents have verified it's him in the video. So you're going to have to find a different defense leftists and deal with reality. He was an agitator. He was a terrorist. Honestly, like Christine Gnome took all sorts of for saying he was a domestic terrorist. Yeah, he qualifies. He was terrorizing those ICE agents. I'm not excusing the other

9:36 she said. He went there with an intent to kill the law. No. know, but that term and you may recall all week long I have said I'm not going to drag her on that term because we don't actually know the full extent of what Alex Prey was doing out there. Like I'm actually still open-minded on on that term. Well, now we see this video. What would you call it? Watch. This is a moment the news movement filmed on January 13th in Minneapolis, showing a man who appears to be Alex Prey interacting with federal immigration agents 11 days before Border Patrol shot and killed him. Our footage was analyzed by the BBC, whose facial recognition technology confirmed his identity to a 97% degree of accuracy.

10:20 On the morning of January 13th, our team received a tip that federal agents were blocking a street at the corner of East 36 and Park Avenue in Minneapolis. We arrived around 10:15 a.m. We saw observers shouting at the agents as they walked back to their vehicles. When they started driving away, the man kicked their tail light. An agent then got out of the vehicle, grabbed him, and pushed him to the ground.

10:54 During the altercation, agents fired tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd. They continued to hold the man down before they retreat and he walks away.

11:09 The man in our footage is wearing a similar outfit to what Freddy was wearing on the day he was killed. What appears to be a gun is also visible above his waistband.

11:20 A gun visible in his waistband. So he was out there with his gun and his anger trying to terrorize, actively harassing law enforcement, federal law enforcement, actually spitting on and attacking federal law enforcement. He was dressed exactly as he was on the day he was shot and killed 11 days later. He smashed their vehicle's tail light in the process, angrily kicking it out. The whole thing came out of the back of the car and fell on the ground. And for the viewing audience, take a look at your screen. Prey was armed in this confrontation, too. You can clearly see his gun in his belt as he went out there and menaced these officers. Now, virtually every Second Amendment lover and expert I know has try been trying to make the point this week to to the people who say, "Oh, you you can't just kill somebody because he's got a gun."

12:20 Of course not. Of and no one here has ever suggested that. But what the Second Amendment experts and advocates have been making clear this week is that when you are carrying, you have a heightened duty, not a lower one. You have an extra duty to avoid confrontation, not a lesser one. And especially if you're going to get in the face of law enforcement who are armed, who are under attack, and who have been harassed and tortured every day, all day by agitated, angry, maniacal protesters with the whistles and the cars blocking them and making sure they can't sleep at night in their hotels with the non-stop noise and screaming in their faces, trying to dox them, biting off a finger, attacking them with shovels, bleeding out of their mouths and nose as they try to protect one another. Okay? So, especially if you are going to be confronting one of them and you know you're armed, you have a heightened duty to avoid confrontation

13:36 and certainly if it starts to go there to make very clear upfront that you are armed so you don't take anybody by surprise. He did none of that. He in fact literally begged them to assault him. Okay, that's what's happened here. If if there was any doubt whether Alex Prey was seeking to provoke federal officers, take a look at the second angle of the January 13th confrontation, you can clearly hear him literally urge the federal officers to assault him in a profanity lace tirade. you. Get the out of here. you.

14:21 That's him. you. What the is wrong with you? Your life is wrong. you straight, assault me, it. assault me,

14:38 You guys spits on the cop toward the cop. kicks the cop's car. Double double middle finger. Now the law enforcement officer gets out and confronts him. There's a physical confrontation in which he reportedly broke a rib. But he he was literally begging. This is not hyperbole. This is not me using a figure of speech. He was literally saying, "Fuck you. assault me, motherfucker." I mean, it's right there. All you need are a clear pair of ears to understand exactly what Alex Prey wanted. And he got it. Not exactly the type of guy the Democrats and the media have been telling us he was this entire week. Watch. Alex Prey died as he lived, protecting his neighbors in a country run by cowards. Be like Alex Prey.

15:45 You ask us for peace and we give it. And we get shot in the face on the streets coming out of a doughnut shop.

15:50 As his mom described him and dad, he he was a kind-hearted soul. And they've asked us to tell the truth about him.

15:59 We can never thank our nurses enough. And the one thing I know about Alex Party's life is that he was never thanked enough.

16:06 Um, where he seems to be helping up a woman who has fallen and a nurse who stepped in to protect a woman from harm. And

16:12 all he was doing was helping someone, a woman who'd been pushed over into the snow.

16:19 No matter how hard people tried to thank him because we, the patients, can never find the words big enough to express our gratitude and love to our nurses. Oh my god, this is ridiculous. Yeah, they they love the nurses like this one. assault me. Like the ones we've been featuring on the show this week who want Caroline Levit to have a grade four tear who who want nurse anesthetists to put suctional choline which paralyzes you and would kill you if you weren't under the active care of an anesthesiologist into the veins of ICE agents.

17:00 Uh, so that there's Lawrence O'Donnell. This guy Alex, he was just a nurse we didn't thank enough. That's all. Just a sweet nurse wanting to help people. And check out what the idiot over at the view. I mean, I one of them, Anna Navario, Anna Navaro said on CNN,

17:17 they killed the wrong guy, right? Because this is the this is like the the perfect guy. Alex Patty's the guy you would want to date your daughter. The one the guy you'd want your son to grow up to be. No, it's a no. I don't know what kind of guy Anna Navaro wants women in her family to date, but no, we we do not sane people want our children to grow up to be anything like Alex. Petty, Freddy, and we certainly don't want our sons to grow into him. Uh we do know for certain that he is the kind of guy who would spit on a cop and smash a law enforcement vehicle while armed and beg federal officers to assault him. He wanted his little viral moment. And let me tell you something, he got a taste of the little fame. Like, he enjoyed it.

18:04 I'm sure he was a hero amongst all of his little protester, rider, terrorist types out there on that street corner. And he went right back out there looking for another confrontation. And it got him killed. It got him killed. Do Do you think I mean, think about it. If you had a gun on you and you wound up getting in a confrontation with six Border Patrol agents, don't you think you'd be saying, "I surrender. I have a gun. I give up. Please don't hurt me." You know, anything. That's not what happened. He was enjoying it. He wanted the confrontation. He was out there literally asking for it.
