0:00 Can I just show you something? Let's just do it this way. Can we play Natalie Portman? Natalie Portman is super upset. Um, I'm going to show you some breaking news about the man she's crying over. But here's Natalie Portman. What's going on in our country right now is absolutely horrific with what the federal government, Trump's government, Christine Gnome, uh, ICE, what they're doing is really the worst of the worst of humanity. And then we also have the best of the best of humanity for the way people are showing up for each other in community and Americans coming out to support each other and protect each other and fight against injustice. So I'm I could not be prouder to be American right now by the way the Americans are acting and I could not be sadder to be American right now with the way the government is behaving. It's

0:52 sorry I'm getting a little emotional because it's it's really been it's such a horrible day. It's been a horrible week and um >> it's um very joyful to be at a film festival and in a creative community celebrating film together. But what is happening in our country is just obscene. And what Trump and Christine Gnome and ICE are doing to our CI citizens is and and to undocumented people is outrageous and needs to end. Okay, no one gives a about Natalie Portman's political opinion, but she's representative of these far-left loons, the Karen Inifat that we've been watching in Minneapolis. And that was after we learned about the death of Alex Prey on Saturday. She managed to jin up some tears. She's an actress. So yeah, um over this guy, you know, because he was just like this poor innocent guy.

1:57 And the left won't even really they're not even loving the term protester for him. It's like they're basically calling him like a good Samaritan just just directing traffic that okay, he was interfering with a federal law enforcement operation. He was not directing traffic like, "Hey, watch out for the federal officers." He was like, "Yeah, right this way if you want to block ICE." That that he was obviously an agitator, an anti-ICE agitator. That's been really clear. We of course have reported that here at the MK show and on AM update. And now we get this report from CNN. It just hit right before we came to air. And it is the headline from CNN uh in a piece by Jeff Winter and Priscell Alvarez is Alex Prey broke rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death. Sources say I'll give you the highlights now and

2:47 then we're bringing on ruthless to react. Federal immigration officials or officers have been collecting personal information about protesters and agitators in Minneapolis, sources told CNN, and had documented details about Alex Prey before he was shot to death on Saturday. It is unclear how Prey first came to the attention of federal authorities, but sources told CNN that about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals. The earlier incident started when Prey stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot and began shouting and blowing his whistle.

3:31 According to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution, Freddy later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back, an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. That day he thought he was going to die, said the source. Prey Prey was later given medication consistent with treating a broken rib, according to the records reviewed by CNN. So they have confirmed that he was in some sort of an altercation with ICE, leaving him with his broken rib. The form titled intel collection nonarrests allows agents to fill in personal information of agitators and protesters who they encounter. Pretty's name was known to federal agents. Got it. His name was known to the federal agents.

4:16 That's how active he had been, according to a source. Though, it's unclear whether the new intake form was used to share his information. It's also not clear whether the federal agents who encountered him on Saturday recognized him before they confronted him. If they did, it would be highly relevant, of course, but it's not necessary. What this is is confirmation that this guy was out there looking for a fight. He had already interfered with ICE conducting its lawful operations out there in trying, as it sounds here, to abduct to to arrest a family that was fleeing, obviously with probable cause, to believe that they were illegal.

4:53 That's fine. That's their job. That's what Barack Obama did, too. and he thought it was his business to interfere, to inject himself in that situation and found himself on the wrong end of ICE operators. And did that give him one modicum of hesitation to do it again? Do you think now with a broken bone and having been roughed up by officers as you or I would be if we had done what Alex Prey had done that first time, he learned anything? Did he understand that when you interfere in a in a lawful ICE operation or border patrol operation, you are placing yourself in physical danger.

5:37 Broken bones and worse can happen to you. Of course he did. Of course he did. We knew that yesterday. We knew that Sunday. We knew that Saturday. We didn't need this report to confirm it, but it does. It's not going to change a thing about how the far-left reacts to this. I maybe they'll count it as another brutalization by the evil ICE. No, that's not what this proves. It proves this guy was an agitator and he was part of the terror crew that felt they could insert themselves in between a cop and his target, which is putting your life on the line 10 times out of 10. No sane person thinks they can do that without risking their life.

6:24 No one. Especially not in Minneapolis where these guys are being terrorized, the ICE agents and the Border Patrol agents. He knew it was assumption of the risk. That's a a legal defense when you get charged with say negligence in a not charged but accused of uh negligence in a civil tort claim, right? when somebody's trying to seek money from you. Um, don't come onto my property. It's super icy today. Snow is everywhere. I can't ensure your safety. I see the snow. I see the ice. I'm going to come anyway. I have special boots.

6:59 I'll be fine. Slip, fall, lawsuit for negligence in maintaining the property in an unsafe way. Defense, you assume the risk. It was disclosed. You knew about it. You came anyway. The defendant wins that case. But it is a concept in the law that relieves a defendant of a legal burden and it applies in theory in a criminal case too. I mean it's basically a self-defense case. But my point is simply this guy knew very well very well what was going to happen to him if he yet again injected himself in the middle of a border patrol enforcement operation. But he did it anyway.

7:43 I I'm not shocked. You're not shocked. We don't give a what Natalie Portman thinks or doesn't think about this. I'm just showing you her fake tears. I mean, like, where were her tears for Lake and Riley? I don't remember her tearful video over Joselyn Nari down in Texas. Did you cry for her? You rich who's protected by guards and fences and multi-million dollar estates from having to deal with anything like what these border patrol agents are going through or these ICE agents are going through in order to protect people who don't have your money and means and resources.

8:20 Tell it to Joselyn's mother as you cry as while while these guys are trying to deport molesters of children. You idiot. Nothing Hollywood starlet. Honestly, it's infuriating to watch them. It's not just her. Here's Jimmy Kimmel. All right, let's look at Jimmy Kimmel. Uh, say every single word I just said about Portman applies to this loser, too. Watch. >> And to the people of Minneapolis, to the Freddy family and the good family and these people who were looking out for their neighbors, we want you to know that we are with you and you are not alone.

9:08 cried. He cried. Where were his tears for Elizabeth Medina? A young teenager who lived in Texas in Houston when an illegal went into her home, possibly to burglarize it, saw her and brutalized her to death. Her mother found her dead in the bathtub when she didn't show up to a parade later that day. Here she is in her cheerleading uniform. Do you remember Natalie Portman crying for Elizabeth? I don't remember. By the way, the guy pleaded guilty to her murder and could still potentially get out on parole in 30 years and he's a young man. Um, I don't remember Jimmy Kimmel shedding tears over Elizabeth.

9:49 Jimmy, why don't we care about her? Why do we only care about illegals who are getting arrested by ICE and Border Patrol and the agitators who try to keep them there, who try to keep them free so they can have access to Elizabeth and Joseline and Leaken. Save your acting for someone who cares. Save your fake tears, which in Jimmy Kimmel's case are always about himself. All he really has to do is jin up the moment when he almost got cancelled. Oh my god. He wasn't gonna be in front of the League lights again. He was gonna be reduced to podcasting. What's it all?

10:30 And he can cry like that. It's easy for him. It's easy for Natalie Portman. Okay. She grew up a child actress. God only knows what that did to her. I mean, seriously, what kind of a sane parent puts their child into child acting in this environment? But that's what was done to her. So maybe it's probably easy for her to jin up the tears too. You would have thought that if it was so easy she would have spared one for Joseline or one for Elizabeth. Just one, you know, just what what would that video look like? Do you think you could spare time at the con film festival for the young teenage girls murdered in their homes or Joselyn sexually assaulted and thrown over a bridge? Do you have like even just like a welling of the eyes for her Natalie?

11:14 No, it's all performative. That won't get them likes. You see, they're not going to get snaps at con for that. They're only going to get it for dumping on law enforcement. It could be a cop. It could be a fed. It could be a National Guardsman. It could be an ICE agent. It could be a border patrol agent. They don't care. They don't care. Just try to look like you hate Trump and it's a win. Okay? That's your main goal as a Hollywood actress. It's disgusting.

11:46 And now we know you're shedding tears over a man who knew full well the danger he was assuming when he injected himself into an ICE operation, a border patrol oper operation with which he had no business, none whatsoever. 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?
