ICE in Minnesota: Optics, Not Enforcement | Divide, Distract, Repeat

(00:00.202)

Everything that you’re being told, all the crap that’s being pushed on you on TV, all the various different influencers that are online pushing their agenda, nothing, nothing is what it seems. Let’s just leave it at that. First and foremost, absolute tragedy in Minnesota.

And the funny thing is, is that you actually had people arguing that it wasn’t a tragedy. Quite frankly, I’m really sick and tired of many of these right wing influencers who like to look tough. They’re gonna be trad man with their beard. most of them can’t even bench press the bar to, know, again, this is the, take a look at these guys, this is the same thing. The difference between far right influencers and far left influencers,

Same thing. What have we been trying to teach for decades here? You know, they look at it right and left. There’s no right and left. It’s circular. Okay. The far left and the far right, same exact thing. Let’s talk about ice in Minnesota. Why is ice in Minnesota? Now one wouldn’t think that Minneapolis, St. Paul would be a real, you know,

hotbed for illegal immigrants. mean, I’ve said, you know, Southern California, Texas, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona. Hmm. Minneapolis. Why would? Why would Stephen Miller? Why would Stephen Miller who basically he’s at a Stephen Miller is basically at a central casting at some sort of demon or or worm tongue from Lord of the Rings whispering and

Trump’s here, but again, Trump’s the boss. He’s listening to this guy. And if you want to take a look at Stephen Miller’s, basically his resume, what he’s done in life, nothing. Hasn’t built anything, hasn’t created anything, spent his entire life being a shitster in politics. That’s his contribution to society. Don’t believe me? Look it up.

(02:26.53)

Stephen Miller saw an opportunity here because, you know, it’s politics, right? Country gets outraged, find out about billions and billions of dollars in fraud in Minneapolis, and let’s send ICE up there. Trump actually put out, it’s actually possible the total amount of money stolen over the years by corrupt politicians and fraudsters from Minnesota will exceed $100 billion. In any event, whether it is or isn’t, the theft incompetence and fraud is massive.

Okay. You know, the thing is, we went over this here on the program, sure, the fraud was committed by legal. Legal immigrants. People that, again, we showed you, you gotta go all the way back. You gotta go the way, way, way, way, way, way, way back machine when we started allowing all of this asylum stuff to happen. You gotta go back to George H.W. Bush. They’re legal.

They’re in here, yeah, they’re us off, but yeah, sure. But like I said, you think it’s not worse in New York? No, no, no, no, no, no. The reason why you sent 3,000, think about that, 3,000 ICE agents to Minneapolis. 3,000. Was what? Optics. Don’t.

Don’t tell me it’s anything other than optics because of what was going on. They got to look like they’re coming down hard on this and you see them rounding up any Somalis? That work? No. No. No. Are they releasing? I just had a curiosity because I can’t find it anywhere. Nobody can find it. They’re not releasing any figures. The amount of people that they’ve actually apprehended.

What is the return on investment? How much is this basically this battalion you sent to Minneapolis, how many illegals have you rounded up? They’re not gonna tell you. They’re not gonna tell you. Yeah, in regards to what happened this past week, we were going after this one illegal person with what? A fricking army?

(04:47.746)

Is that really necessary? Actually, you can go and you can take a look at the numbers, okay, which we did as far as deportations are concerned. You want to know who the the league leader is? That would be Barack Obama. yeah, yeah, yeah. Barack Obama holds the record for the highest

highest number formal deportations in modern US history. Barack Obama. Then you got Bill Clinton. Then you got Bill Clinton, then you got then you got Donald Trump, then you got your I’m just I’m just telling you the numbers right now. If you think we’re getting massive amounts of deportations taking place, we’re not.

nor if I was running the show would I be handling it this way. Now if you’ve got criminal illegals, which we need to go after, needed to deport, do you want to alert them to the fact that you’re in town and you’re looking for them? Could be me, call me crazy, maybe I watched a couple police shows. I’m not gonna let them know that I’m there, I’m gonna go get the bad guys.

Not gonna put on a show? I’m not gonna march in the streets? Doesn’t make any sense to me. Does it to you? Would that be how you would handle it?

No, no. It’s, it’s not about that. It’s not about that. It’s about optics, quite frankly. What we’ve got going on right now, okay, let me kind of put this in perspective for you. you’re whatever side you’re on, okay, which is unfortunate. Okay, because that’s that’s that’s the goal. That’s why it’s divide, it’s divide.

(06:59.424)

and conquer to get you assigned up for one team and to battle against another team. Okay. You want to call it the see Marjorie Taylor Greene call it the political industrial complex telling you what to think what you’re supposed to you were supposed what you need to be outraged about today. We need to be angry about today.

Donald Trump just talked about all this, you know, all this stuff being stolen. Could be $100 billion in Minnesota, meaning it’s a hell of a lot more in California, meaning it’s a hell of a lot more in New York. While that’s the case, Republicans just funded, just funded the refugee program by nearly $6 billion of your tax dollars.

in the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Bill.

That is, I wanna show you how stupid, you, this is the same bill that funds ICE.

(08:12.492)

This is again, this is like giving money to an arsonist and then funding the fire department in the same frickin bill.

Right before your very eyes. Let me ask you question. you, have anybody on Fox asked questions about this? Anybody on MSNBC asked questions? Anybody on CNN asked questions about the, gee whiz, same bill.

Same damn bill. You can look through this right now. Okay.

People, we did a great job. Trump did a great job.

(09:00.558)

Okay, he did a great job. You know, if he just stopped at Doge and shutting down the border and played golf, okay, his approval ratings would be through the roof.

But I don’t know what in God’s creation they’re doing right now. Story of the time for ice to pause in Minneapolis. Again, I would never handle anything the way that they’re handling it. Trump is, I don’t know, from what I’m hearing behind the scenes, is trying to find some way out. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some heads that go on the chopping block sometime soon.

He put out a tweet calling on Governor Walls, Major Mayor Frye and every Democrat governor mayor in the United States to formally cooperate the Trump administration who force our nation’s laws rather than resistance, stoke the flames of division, chaos and violence. And he lists a bunch of things. then, you know, it’s so sad. is, know, Lindsay Graham responds to Trump’s, you know, tweet. Here’s a long tweet that he put there. Wow.

Home run solution, Mr. President, to the chaos facing our country from sanctuary city policies. You and your team have come up with a remedy that Democrats should accept that America needs. He writes this thing, it’s a long tweet. It’s like a parent congratulating their kid because they went to the party for the first time. This is how ridiculous this sounds.

Again, 192 House Republicans voted to keep five, almost six billion dollars in taxpayer funded refugee welfare flowing. So do you really think that there’s any desire to solve any of this at all? Or is the desire to get us fighting with one another? As far as Kristi Noem, Department of Homeland Security,

(11:14.295)

and their reaction in interviews after this shooting. I saw it. watched. I watched. You’re already starting to see images being doctored with via AI online, which is, again, it’s sad. I don’t get it. I wasn’t there, though.

I wasn’t there. And again, everyone saw the video. Everyone saw the video. Should have been, we are investigating this and shut the hell up.

They’re, you know, use of the phrase domestic terror, all these, listen, you don’t think that I realize that a lot of these left-wing groups are organized and all. Yeah, I get that. I understand that. But what I watched most certainly wasn’t my interpretation of domestic terrorism. Yeah, I was thinking about it today. Remember Trump got in trouble in his first term.

when there were those, it was like a riot, it was like a demonstration, two different sides clashing. Remember in Charlottesville, Virginia? And he got in trouble. I think it had to do with the statues being torn down. And he made the statement and the left took it out of context completely, lied about the entire thing. They’re all, you know, good people on both sides. He was basically, they took it out context saying that he was praising neo-Nazis and whatnot, which he wasn’t.

Trump could come out right now and use that exact same speech, quite frankly. Are there bad people, there really bad leftists involved in these things? Absolutely. But are there good Americans that happen to disagree with the current policy? Yeah, and it’s okay to protest. It’s okay.

(13:18.831)

Could be me calling me crazy, I watched that. The guy looked like he’s a nurse, he looked like he was coming to the aid of a woman who got pepper sprayed. The idea that he brought a gun and he was there to shoot a bunch of people. Do you, you buying that one? I’m not.

And again, don’t get don’t get your underwear in a bunch because let’s put it this way. OK, if it was reversed, if it was if this was a. If this was a right of center protest, protesting a no, a Joe Biden policy in the past term and a VA nurse. With a. Carry permit. If the something that the entire thing was reversed,

the right would be flipping out in the exact opposite way. This is what I’m telling you, it’s circular. This is where people stop thinking. Stop thinking and forget that, guess what? Two things can be true at the exact same time.

(14:24.225)

Anyway, gotta come to some sort of I mean again shutting down the border. Absolutely great job.

Great job. The only thing and again, I was brainstorming today and give me feedback on this. If you’d like. Can we talk about, you know, states, states having their own, you know, all states are different, you you get the tax, you know, your butt taxed, you know, you live in New York and Illinois, all these places, Michigan, this is why people move out of those states.

What if, I’m not throwing this out there, okay? What if certain states you want to be a sanctuary city? Okay? Sanctuary state for that matter. Minnesota wants to be a sanctuary state. What if we were to say, okay, you can get the, no, no, zero, zip zero, zero to nada, no federal money whatsoever. You decide that you want to go your own way when it comes to immigration and not follow

not follow what the federal law is saying. You want to go your own way on that. You know, you say, you know what? Fine. You get no money. You get no help. You can fund all of this on your own. You want these people to be there. You want to be sanctioned. You want to make them residents of the state of Minnesota. Fine. Can’t vote. In any national election, we’d have to clean that up. Again, you can’t even get Republicans to pass the SAVE Act at this point in time. That’s a different story. Can’t vote.

And guess what? They can’t work outside the state of Minnesota. That’s it. You give them working pay, but they can work only in the state of Minnesota. Meaning what? You can’t get truck drivers, licenses, whatever it may be, can’t drive. No, you have to stay within the state of Minnesota. You wanna be a, then you’ll be that sanctuary.

(16:31.949)

You be that said, they can’t leave. And if they do leave the state and they do get picked up, then you know what? Then they’re gonna get deported. And it’s your problem.

You want it? You have it!

You can you can take care of it all on your own. Whatever you guys wanted that’s funny. I don’t know. I’m starting to think that that might be an interesting compromise that could be had at this point in time. I’m still playing the you know, like I said, the unintended consequences that would go with something like that. And you never know in the air and then you get some left to center things up. You know, those rules are off. I know. We’d have to find some way.

To make it permanent, we all know how that goes. But the best way, the best way to handle this, like I’ve said all along, again, you have highly trained members of ICE, highly trained members, you know, working within police departments to go after the criminals, eliminate the welfare, eliminate the handouts, all that stuff which they’re not willing to do.

and eliminate the ability to work, people will leave. They’ll leave. Not gonna happen right away, but it’s going to happen.

(18:01.743)

parading 3000 members of ICE through the streets of Minneapolis, Again, show me your record. How many people have you grabbed? What is our return on investment? I wanna know. How many people have you grabbed since you decided to send 3000 people into that city? Was it worth it?
