Another ICE Shooting Leads To Death - You Can't Explain This One Away

I focus on the recent ICE shooting that led to the death of Alex Pretti. This tragedy is hard to explain away, and I challenge other conservatives and MAGA to look at this for what it actually is and face the truth.

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:06.480
 Welcome to another World Blaze.

2
00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:11.360
 This is episode 110, 110, getting close to 200.

3
00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:18.780
 This episode is recorded January 24th, 2026.

4
00:00:19.580 --> 00:00:21.620
 I had a completely different episode in mind.

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.300
 I was going to discuss what happened in Davos, I was going to lean harder into the geopolitics

6
00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:29.840
 of what's happening around the world and how it involves the USA.

7
00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:37.820
 But instead, that was derailed by the events that unfolded earlier this morning in Minneapolis.

8
00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:42.740
 Another person has been killed.

9
00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:47.600
 Another person died in another incident involving ICE.

10
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.640
 And this episode, I'm going to just be upfront with everybody.

11
00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:57.900
 I don't know how long it's going to go, but I'm going to focus on what's going on here.

12
00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:02.280
 And if you're MAGA, for those who've listened to me from the beginning,

13
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.660
 you know that I'm not left whatsoever.

14
00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:05.680
 I am not of the left.

15
00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:06.760
 I am not a Democrat.

16
00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:13.080
 But you should also have figured out that I'm not hard or far right.

17
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.940
 Now, the objective of this show has always been to expose the truth

18
00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:21.720
 based on the facts and data that have always been available at the time.

19
00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:27.720
 And this episode is going to be one of those episodes where I'm going to be quite honest if,

20
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.520
 again, if you're MAGA, you're not going to agree with everything I have to say.

21
00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:34.200
 I'm not going to be one to toe the party line,

22
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.960
 because honestly, I don't believe in the two party system anyway.

23
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.160
 But here we are.

24
00:01:41.380 --> 00:01:45.400
 We're confronted with another situation where another individual has died.

25
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:50.540
 And the story that has unfolded and that has been told,

26
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:58.680
 it seems to be more and more of a lie cover up than anything.

27
00:01:58.680 --> 00:01:59.120
 Why?

28
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:02.520
 Well, because there were too many witnesses.

29
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:07.840
 There were too many videos that have been released by people who were there

30
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.720
 filming the incident with their mobile phones, cell phones, wherever you want to call them.

31
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:18.140
 And the result is a huge contradiction to that

32
00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:22.100
 of what Kristi Noem had to say of the situation.

33
00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:27.680
 A huge contradiction to that of what all the MAGA,

34
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:33.040
 star influencers on X are trying to say and how they're trying to spin this.

35
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:34.680
 There is no spin.

36
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:39.680
 The video evidence is pretty indisputable.

37
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:47.940
 Now, unlike the previous incident where Renee Nicole Good was killed, was shot,

38
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:54.020
 that was a slightly different situation because the video evidence, regardless of how you

39
00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:59.200
 want to believe that video portrayed the incidents, the video was clear

40
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:02.080
 that she was instructed to stop her vehicle.

41
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.640
 She kept operating it.

42
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.500
 And instead of turning it off and getting out of her car as she was instructed,

43
00:03:08.820 --> 00:03:12.320
 she proceeded to turn the wheel and try to speed off through ICE agents.

44
00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:15.200
 And I don't care what you have to say about that.

45
00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:19.300
 I don't care that you think that the person could have moved out of the way,

46
00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:21.000
 wasn't in danger, put himself in danger.

47
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.900
 Look, the reality is the video evidence is there and it's clear regardless of what you

48
00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:28.880
 want to believe, which you don't want your eyes to see.

49
00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:36.860
 And that incident was very clear that that was Renee Nicole Good's fault.

50
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.660
 Whether you want to agree with me or not doesn't matter because the truth

51
00:03:40.660 --> 00:03:42.500
 doesn't have to agree with you.

52
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:54.680
 But this incident today is not something that can be explained in the favor of the ICE agents.

53
00:03:55.900 --> 00:04:01.800
 This is not something you could spin to be in favor of the mega mega influencers.

54
00:04:01.880 --> 00:04:08.980
 We're trying to use this incident as a way to drum up support for whatever their agenda is

55
00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:09.660
 these days.

56
00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:14.810
 The video evidence shows something very different.

57
00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:20.430
 A man, and it doesn't matter why he was there.

58
00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:23.450
 He was filming what was going on.

59
00:04:25.190 --> 00:04:28.070
 And yes, he had a weapon or a gun on him.

60
00:04:28.810 --> 00:04:33.250
 But I think as far as I know, now I just want to make it clear,

61
00:04:33.310 --> 00:04:36.830
 even though I'm recording this and we're talking about this,

62
00:04:37.210 --> 00:04:41.150
 the story is still developing and I'm sure there's going to be new evidence

63
00:04:41.150 --> 00:04:45.030
 that comes out about this story later in the week.

64
00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:49.290
 But thus far, we're not sure.

65
00:04:49.490 --> 00:04:52.310
 It's not going to be very clear to me that there's much more

66
00:04:52.810 --> 00:04:56.330
 that's going to come out to dispute what is in the video.

67
00:04:58.310 --> 00:05:05.960
 But getting back to the person who was killed had a gun, but it was an honest person.

68
00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:10.740
 And from what I understand, the person had a conceal and carry permit,

69
00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:13.020
 which I'm going to be very clear.

70
00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:15.100
 I support two way rights.

71
00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:17.120
 He had every right to have this weapon.

72
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.320
 We can dispute whether it was a smart move to have a weapon on you walking into a very,

73
00:05:23.320 --> 00:05:25.660
 very contested and heated protest.

74
00:05:26.580 --> 00:05:28.200
 There's two sides to that argument.

75
00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:29.420
 I get it.

76
00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:32.680
 One shouldn't have it there because by having it there,

77
00:05:32.700 --> 00:05:36.220
 it could just lead to trouble, which is what happened.

78
00:05:37.200 --> 00:05:38.980
 The intentions could be misconstrued.

79
00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:45.460
 Because this person may never have had an intention to fight with ice,

80
00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:49.700
 to fire a weapon at ice, which he never did.

81
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.280
 The videos do not show or support that he ever did.

82
00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:55.220
 And we're going to get to that.

83
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:02.340
 And then the other argument is, you know, hey, it's your two way right to defend yourself.

84
00:06:02.340 --> 00:06:05.020
 And if you're going to go into a heavily contested heated area,

85
00:06:06.140 --> 00:06:08.960
 you may want to have a bit of protection on you.

86
00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:10.020
 Because you don't know.

87
00:06:10.700 --> 00:06:16.260
 And it doesn't mean that it's on your person to protect yourself against ice or federal agents.

88
00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:20.640
 It could just, hey, who knows what batshit crazy person is going to run up and do whatever.

89
00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:26.680
 I mean, we've seen many instances lately where citizen journalists are being attacked

90
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.220
 or being bullied, questioned, their equipment taken from them, etc.

91
00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:33.740
 Now, in this case, you know, he was using his mobile phone.

92
00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:40.140
 And it's very important to note that the entire time this person had his phone on him

93
00:06:40.140 --> 00:06:43.960
 and was filming, even when he was pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground,

94
00:06:44.580 --> 00:06:46.140
 he had his phone in his hand.

95
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.380
 And with that being said, what's going to be very interesting

96
00:06:49.380 --> 00:06:53.060
 is if they ever released the footage that he recorded.

97
00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:56.700
 Because that microphone, not just the video,

98
00:06:56.780 --> 00:06:59.160
 but that microphone is going to pick up everything that happened,

99
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.540
 involving him personally and those ice agents.

100
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.160
 So what we're going to do is we're going to go over the evidence that we have.

101
00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:14.600
 We're going to look at the situation for what it is.

102
00:07:15.020 --> 00:07:17.800
 And what we're going to do, and I hope you're going to do,

103
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:24.020
 is you're not going to lean hard into whatever party you choose to support.

104
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:26.460
 Because this isn't about party politics.

105
00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:32.560
 This is about the actions of ICE agents that were taken,

106
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.180
 how they handle the situation.

107
00:07:36.140 --> 00:07:40.340
 And of course, again, there's an argument as to whether or not a person there,

108
00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:44.780
 even though it was his right, concealing carry, especially if he had a permit,

109
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:51.500
 maybe shouldn't have brought that into the protests due to what may have happened.

110
00:07:52.580 --> 00:07:55.520
 In this case, what actually did happen, he lost his life.

111
00:07:56.660 --> 00:08:03.540
 But regardless, let's start with Kristi Noem's statement.

112
00:08:04.700 --> 00:08:08.800
 Because Kristi Noem's statement highly contradicts what

113
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.620
 everybody in the world in social media already saw.

114
00:08:12.940 --> 00:08:14.960
 And that's the thing about today in social media.

115
00:08:15.380 --> 00:08:19.000
 Anybody with a phone can quickly post what they recorded instantly.

116
00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:22.640
 It's too hard to cover things up.

117
00:08:22.820 --> 00:08:24.860
 And yes, we can curate clips.

118
00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:33.140
 We can cut clips up to where we can definitely play them back to make it look like

119
00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:37.919
 exactly what we want it to look like in terms of the arguments we're trying to make.

120
00:08:38.400 --> 00:08:43.039
 But in this case, it's too hard to do.

121
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:45.500
 It was too instant.

122
00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:52.440
 The reaction that everybody has to this situation is valid.

123
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:53.720
 They're angry at ICE.

124
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.460
 They're angry at how this was handled.

125
00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:02.830
 So with that being said, let's go to Kristi Noem.

126
00:09:02.850 --> 00:09:04.870
 Let's go to what she has to say about this.

127
00:09:05.310 --> 00:09:06.530
 This is her statement.

128
00:09:06.930 --> 00:09:09.370
 This is what she says happened.

129
00:09:09.790 --> 00:09:14.390
 And it's important to note that they released a statement well before

130
00:09:17.690 --> 00:09:19.170
 any investigation has been had.

131
00:09:19.270 --> 00:09:23.890
 And actually, as of this recording, there hasn't been an investigation.

132
00:09:24.610 --> 00:09:27.490
 But nonetheless, let's hear what Kristi Noem has to say.

133
00:09:28.330 --> 00:09:32.410
 An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9-millimeter

134
00:09:32.410 --> 00:09:33.910
 semi-automatic handgun.

135
00:09:34.370 --> 00:09:39.870
 The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently.

136
00:09:40.530 --> 00:09:44.070
 Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around him,

137
00:09:44.510 --> 00:09:46.390
 an agent fired defensive shots.

138
00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:51.410
 Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject,

139
00:09:51.410 --> 00:09:53.570
 but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

140
00:09:53.890 --> 00:09:59.150
 The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them that held dozens of rounds.

141
00:09:59.590 --> 00:10:00.850
 He also had no ID.

142
00:10:01.450 --> 00:10:04.730
 This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at this scene

143
00:10:04.730 --> 00:10:08.830
 to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.

144
00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:16.900
 Well, that is a very presumptive statement loaded with assumptions.

145
00:10:17.920 --> 00:10:23.720
 Because she states that he approached ICE with a gun,

146
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.640
 a 9-millimeter automatic.

147
00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:28.280
 And it's true, he did have a gun on him.

148
00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:30.080
 He did not approach ICE with a gun.

149
00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:31.780
 He didn't have a gun in his hand.

150
00:10:33.520 --> 00:10:35.330
 And the videos I'm going to play are going to show that.

151
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.000
 In fact, here's going to be the first video.

152
00:10:40.060 --> 00:10:44.120
 Now, I want you to keep in mind that these are from the mobile phones there.

153
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.780
 So it's not like there was a professional crew recording this.

154
00:10:47.420 --> 00:10:51.280
 So I apologize if you're not going to get the consistent views you want.

155
00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:54.360
 I'm going to play multiple videos here so that you can get a good idea.

156
00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:58.200
 And this is where I've always told everybody, look, if you listen to the podcast,

157
00:10:58.680 --> 00:10:59.340
 bless you.

158
00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:01.680
 I appreciate you for listening.

159
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.620
 And I love that you listen.

160
00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:07.640
 But some of these episodes, like this episode, give it a listen.

161
00:11:08.300 --> 00:11:11.380
 But I encourage you to go to YouTube, watch the video version.

162
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.240
 You can find me on YouTube at Fonts of Blaze.

163
00:11:15.520 --> 00:11:18.480
 Let's look for World of Blaze with George Fonts and you'll see this.

164
00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:23.780
 And also, if you do use Spotify, you know that you can watch the video on Spotify as well,

165
00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:24.780
 because I do load the video there.

166
00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:26.040
 So I'm just telling you.

167
00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:27.680
 I'm going to do my best to explain this.

168
00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:29.000
 But this is one you have to watch.

169
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.040
 It really is.

170
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.400
 So in this video, what you're going to see is how it unfolded.

171
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:40.840
 Because Kristi Noem said he approached ice with a gun, a nine millimeter.

172
00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:45.360
 And right here, you see my pointer here.

173
00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:47.190
 This is the person in question.

174
00:11:48.190 --> 00:11:49.350
 Wearing the brown jacket.

175
00:11:50.830 --> 00:11:55.470
 Kind of like, I don't know, like the light brown slash khaki look in the pants here.

176
00:11:56.510 --> 00:11:59.110
 Pretty much like he's just wearing work uniform, pretty much.

177
00:11:59.310 --> 00:12:03.630
 Not necessarily uniform, but, you know, just like work pants, maybe.

178
00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:04.250
 I don't know.

179
00:12:04.570 --> 00:12:06.950
 But regardless, here's his hand.

180
00:12:07.070 --> 00:12:08.010
 Here's his left hand.

181
00:12:08.510 --> 00:12:09.250
 Nothing in it.

182
00:12:09.670 --> 00:12:12.530
 The other hand, as I play the video, you'll see he has a cell phone in his right hand.

183
00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:13.930
 So here we go.

184
00:12:17.910 --> 00:12:18.950
 So right now he's filming.

185
00:12:20.910 --> 00:12:24.790
 And the person that is filming this, she's focusing on the conversation

186
00:12:24.790 --> 00:12:26.530
 between two ladies and one of the ice agents.

187
00:12:27.030 --> 00:12:34.150
 So the individual that was shot, he actually walks over, not to the people,

188
00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:36.290
 but just walks over to the side so we can get a better angle.

189
00:12:37.090 --> 00:12:40.650
 And he just has his phone, his other hand is free.

190
00:12:41.090 --> 00:12:42.810
 And he's trying to wave cars through.

191
00:12:43.810 --> 00:12:48.810
 Now, here the ice agent looks like she has, looks like the person

192
00:12:49.430 --> 00:12:51.650
 that they were arguing with was assaulted, pushed to the ground.

193
00:12:51.850 --> 00:12:54.070
 Now, this is when the individual steps in.

194
00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:57.610
 And as soon as he steps in, all he did was put his hands up to try to shield her

195
00:12:57.610 --> 00:12:58.490
 and he's pepper sprayed.

196
00:12:59.150 --> 00:13:01.290
 And then this is where they start to throw him to the ground.

197
00:13:03.250 --> 00:13:06.590
 Now you have multiple ice agents on top of him.

198
00:13:08.490 --> 00:13:11.130
 Now this is where they're trying to say that he drew a weapon.

199
00:13:11.270 --> 00:13:15.350
 But if you're watching this, this agent here, let me pause this.

200
00:13:16.110 --> 00:13:17.330
 Let me back it up slightly.

201
00:13:18.390 --> 00:13:22.450
 So this agent right here.

202
00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:25.590
 Okay.

203
00:13:26.130 --> 00:13:27.270
 This guy here bent over.

204
00:13:28.130 --> 00:13:30.310
 He has a gray jacket, gray hat.

205
00:13:30.710 --> 00:13:33.230
 If you see this person, he is standing over him

206
00:13:33.230 --> 00:13:35.750
 while the other ice agents are wrestling him to the ground.

207
00:13:36.630 --> 00:13:42.730
 And he's reaching over, over the deceased person's right side.

208
00:13:42.810 --> 00:13:46.030
 Now at this point, he's not deceased yet, but in this struggle,

209
00:13:46.090 --> 00:13:47.310
 he's reaching over to his right side.

210
00:13:47.310 --> 00:13:49.090
 While hovering over him.

211
00:13:50.810 --> 00:13:54.290
 There is no weapon drawn at this point that we can see.

212
00:13:55.650 --> 00:14:01.810
 And this same officer, what he does later is he walks away with a gun.

213
00:14:02.770 --> 00:14:06.910
 A gun that never appeared to be in the person's hand.

214
00:14:07.370 --> 00:14:08.450
 So let me continue this.

215
00:14:11.690 --> 00:14:12.230
 There he is.

216
00:14:12.350 --> 00:14:16.730
 Looks like he's struggling on the back right side to grab something.

217
00:14:16.750 --> 00:14:17.750
 And then right there.

218
00:14:17.750 --> 00:14:21.010
 So he turns around, walks away with the weapon,

219
00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:24.550
 and as soon as he does that, he takes a few steps.

220
00:14:24.690 --> 00:14:27.790
 And then all of a sudden, shots are fired.

221
00:14:28.910 --> 00:14:31.390
 He's fired upon by the other ice agents.

222
00:14:31.930 --> 00:14:32.930
 And there are multiple shots.

223
00:14:37.390 --> 00:14:43.970
 So this video shows that the person in question

224
00:14:44.710 --> 00:14:46.190
 didn't have a weapon on him.

225
00:14:46.350 --> 00:14:47.290
 He didn't furnish one.

226
00:14:47.290 --> 00:14:48.210
 He didn't pull one out.

227
00:14:48.230 --> 00:14:49.710
 He wasn't pointing it at an ice agent.

228
00:14:50.230 --> 00:14:51.790
 From this video, it appears.

229
00:14:52.030 --> 00:14:53.630
 I say it appears because we're going to need a few angles

230
00:14:54.110 --> 00:14:55.910
 to decipher what's happening here.

231
00:14:56.690 --> 00:15:00.890
 But it appears that one of the ice officers,

232
00:15:01.870 --> 00:15:03.130
 when they had him on the ground,

233
00:15:03.630 --> 00:15:05.570
 they were kind of patting him down, feeling around,

234
00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:10.510
 and they noticed he had a holster in his back right side.

235
00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:14.510
 And that agent that was wearing the gray that was bending over

236
00:15:14.510 --> 00:15:17.610
 was trying to get the weapon out of the holster.

237
00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:20.070
 The weapon was holstered the whole time.

238
00:15:20.090 --> 00:15:22.330
 It wasn't in the hands of the person

239
00:15:22.330 --> 00:15:24.010
 they were struggling with.

240
00:15:25.070 --> 00:15:25.790
 He didn't have a weapon.

241
00:15:25.810 --> 00:15:27.190
 In fact, the only thing he really had in his hand

242
00:15:27.190 --> 00:15:28.310
 was his cell phone.

243
00:15:32.970 --> 00:15:35.070
 So let me cue up another angle here.

244
00:15:38.250 --> 00:15:40.490
 So this kind of just shows the same thing,

245
00:15:40.490 --> 00:15:41.530
 but at a different angle.

246
00:15:43.390 --> 00:15:44.910
 And we're going to go ahead and play that

247
00:15:44.910 --> 00:15:46.450
 so that you can get another view on this.

248
00:15:53.580 --> 00:15:54.540
 And even from this angle,

249
00:15:54.540 --> 00:15:55.920
 you can see that they're struggling with him.

250
00:15:56.280 --> 00:15:59.020
 Now, there's ice agents that have each arm or hand.

251
00:15:59.020 --> 00:16:00.400
 Okay, there's a shot.

252
00:16:04.790 --> 00:16:06.090
 They fire multiple shots.

253
00:16:06.410 --> 00:16:09.110
 They're trying to argue that the first shot came from his weapon,

254
00:16:09.110 --> 00:16:12.490
 but the problem with that is he never had his hand on the weapon.

255
00:16:12.930 --> 00:16:14.150
 I'm going to back this up a little bit.

256
00:16:14.850 --> 00:16:16.270
 The problem with that statement is

257
00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:22.610
 you can see the man or the agent that appears to be wearing gray.

258
00:16:23.910 --> 00:16:25.370
 See how I'm backing this up slowly?

259
00:16:25.950 --> 00:16:28.090
 He's hovering over him, as I said earlier.

260
00:16:29.870 --> 00:16:35.270
 He is reaching over the right backside of the person.

261
00:16:36.450 --> 00:16:38.950
 And as I move this forward slowly,

262
00:16:39.930 --> 00:16:42.410
 you can see that agent spin to his right.

263
00:16:43.050 --> 00:16:46.070
 And right here, he has the weapon in his hand.

264
00:16:48.670 --> 00:16:52.490
 So if he pulls the gun from his back right side

265
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:58.110
 and the assailant's hands are both held by other officers,

266
00:16:58.990 --> 00:17:02.470
 how was he able to draw his weapon?

267
00:17:02.750 --> 00:17:04.690
 At what point did he have his weapon in his hand

268
00:17:04.690 --> 00:17:07.210
 and he was pointing it at an ice agent?

269
00:17:07.710 --> 00:17:09.770
 It wasn't when he was walking up to him.

270
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.200
 It wasn't when he was on the ground being wrestled by ice,

271
00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:15.359
 when he was pepper sprayed.

272
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.520
 And as I'm slowly moving this forward and back,

273
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:19.579
 you can see this back and forth,

274
00:17:20.300 --> 00:17:22.819
 that ice agent clearly has the weapon in his hand.

275
00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:24.660
 And when he walks away,

276
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.420
 it looks like he's taking one, two, three steps.

277
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.620
 And after those three steps is when shots are fired.

278
00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:33.320
 By who?

279
00:17:35.380 --> 00:17:38.660
 Wasn't fired by the person who was shot and killed.

280
00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:40.660
 He didn't even have a weapon on him.

281
00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:43.820
 The ice agents shot him.

282
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.380
 And a lot of people are trying to explain this away,

283
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:47.700
 saying, well, you know, heat of the moment.

284
00:17:47.800 --> 00:17:48.740
 You don't know what really happened.

285
00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:50.640
 Like, I get that.

286
00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:53.220
 But this wasn't a heat of the moment situation.

287
00:17:53.860 --> 00:17:57.240
 They had him detained or at least subdued

288
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:58.320
 to the best of their ability.

289
00:17:58.420 --> 00:18:00.000
 He was on all fours.

290
00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:03.940
 Two agents on either side,

291
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.880
 right and left of him had his right and left arm.

292
00:18:07.020 --> 00:18:08.900
 The weapon in question was still holstered

293
00:18:10.020 --> 00:18:11.240
 on his right back side.

294
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.540
 The agent in the gray came hovering over him,

295
00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:20.280
 reached over to the right back side

296
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.940
 to get the weapon out of his holster,

297
00:18:25.560 --> 00:18:26.780
 out of the assailant's holster,

298
00:18:26.780 --> 00:18:28.360
 the person that was actually killed.

299
00:18:29.970 --> 00:18:32.400
 So that ice agent grabs that weapon,

300
00:18:32.620 --> 00:18:34.740
 was able to walk away, take three steps,

301
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:39.980
 and then the other ice agents shot the assailant.

302
00:18:40.300 --> 00:18:43.120
 The other ice agents killed the person.

303
00:18:43.520 --> 00:18:43.840
 For what?

304
00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:45.760
 At what point was he a threat?

305
00:18:47.040 --> 00:18:48.460
 Never reached for it.

306
00:18:48.520 --> 00:18:49.740
 Never had it in his persons.

307
00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:52.080
 It looks like he was struggling to find out

308
00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:56.240
 where he was after being sprayed in the face,

309
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.560
 trying to help the other lady that was pushed to the ground.

310
00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:00.720
 While he was on the ground

311
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.180
 and they were trying to subdue him,

312
00:19:02.600 --> 00:19:06.160
 one of the ice agents was beating him with a canister.

313
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.940
 And then the other ice agent in the gray

314
00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:10.980
 was reaching over him from the back side

315
00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:13.360
 to take the weapon that was in his holster

316
00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:14.520
 while his other hands,

317
00:19:14.660 --> 00:19:17.080
 while the assailant's hands were preoccupied.

318
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:18.620
 The only thing he was holding in one hand

319
00:19:19.320 --> 00:19:20.660
 the whole time was his cell phone

320
00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:21.600
 that he wouldn't let go.

321
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.540
 So how are these MAGA influencers

322
00:19:25.540 --> 00:19:31.350
 trying to explain this one to support the actions?

323
00:19:31.430 --> 00:19:32.730
 I am not understanding it.

324
00:19:33.650 --> 00:19:36.190
 And I'm gonna say this isn't a win for you lefties out there

325
00:19:36.190 --> 00:19:39.030
 because incidents like this are a win for nobody.

326
00:19:39.650 --> 00:19:40.250
 Someone died.

327
00:19:41.310 --> 00:19:43.890
 Can we argue that this person made a poor decision

328
00:19:43.890 --> 00:19:47.450
 to bring a weapon to, again, a highly contested area

329
00:19:48.030 --> 00:19:50.950
 where it's been known currently

330
00:19:51.630 --> 00:19:53.470
 to be violent interactions

331
00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:55.690
 when it comes to ice and these ice protests?

332
00:19:56.250 --> 00:19:57.730
 Yeah, that was a dumb decision.

333
00:19:58.530 --> 00:19:59.390
 It really is.

334
00:20:00.470 --> 00:20:03.210
 And these ice agents are already on edge

335
00:20:03.210 --> 00:20:08.210
 from being attacked, bullied, you name it.

336
00:20:09.570 --> 00:20:11.310
 They're definitely going through it.

337
00:20:11.410 --> 00:20:13.850
 But that's still no excuse for multiple agents

338
00:20:16.010 --> 00:20:19.490
 to shoot a man dead when he doesn't pose a threat.

339
00:20:20.510 --> 00:20:21.870
 Even when he was on all fours,

340
00:20:21.870 --> 00:20:23.550
 he didn't have a weapon on him.

341
00:20:23.910 --> 00:20:24.970
 Not in his hands.

342
00:20:24.990 --> 00:20:25.970
 He wasn't using it.

343
00:20:25.970 --> 00:20:27.110
 He wasn't reaching for it.

344
00:20:27.130 --> 00:20:28.670
 They're trying to claim he did.

345
00:20:29.470 --> 00:20:32.190
 And then how did the videos that I just played thus far,

346
00:20:33.730 --> 00:20:36.510
 how do they support Kristi Noem's claim

347
00:20:36.510 --> 00:20:40.710
 of him approaching ice with a nine millimeter,

348
00:20:41.710 --> 00:20:42.690
 pointing it at ice?

349
00:20:43.770 --> 00:20:45.070
 He didn't approach him with anything

350
00:20:45.070 --> 00:20:48.790
 but a freaking cell phone filming what was happening.

351
00:20:49.770 --> 00:20:52.410
 The only way he got involved was trying to help the lady

352
00:20:52.410 --> 00:20:54.070
 who was pushed to the ground

353
00:20:54.070 --> 00:20:56.170
 by an ice officer or an ice agent.

354
00:20:56.810 --> 00:20:58.490
 When he tried to help her up,

355
00:20:59.490 --> 00:21:00.750
 they pepper sprayed him in the face.

356
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:08.580
 So at what point are we supposed to believe Kristi Noem?

357
00:21:12.300 --> 00:21:13.220
 At what point?

358
00:21:15.970 --> 00:21:17.960
 The video out here doesn't support it.

359
00:21:18.990 --> 00:21:21.450
 And as much as I say, and I am,

360
00:21:21.670 --> 00:21:25.450
 I'm behind what ICE is doing.

361
00:21:25.550 --> 00:21:27.670
 I'm behind what Border Patrol is doing.

362
00:21:28.590 --> 00:21:33.450
 I believe that what they're doing is what needs to happen

363
00:21:33.450 --> 00:21:36.330
 to support our laws, our sovereignty.

364
00:21:37.310 --> 00:21:38.410
 I get it.

365
00:21:40.430 --> 00:21:45.690
 But right now, the way things are going,

366
00:21:45.990 --> 00:21:48.690
 and especially after this incident that just happened

367
00:21:48.690 --> 00:21:51.390
 today, January 24th, 2026,

368
00:21:53.170 --> 00:21:54.310
 after this happened,

369
00:21:55.910 --> 00:22:02.450
 how are we supposed to continue to argue

370
00:22:02.450 --> 00:22:05.770
 in support of the actions when it's clear

371
00:22:05.770 --> 00:22:06.950
 that these guys need a break,

372
00:22:07.190 --> 00:22:09.890
 that these guys need to cool the fuck down.

373
00:22:10.570 --> 00:22:14.170
 And the fact that they haven't been suspended

374
00:22:15.190 --> 00:22:18.250
 in lieu of investigation is insane to me.

375
00:22:18.270 --> 00:22:20.590
 That is the statement that Kristi Noem should have gave.

376
00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:25.370
 That due to the events that are unfolding

377
00:22:25.370 --> 00:22:29.270
 and to the evidence that is coming out,

378
00:22:30.150 --> 00:22:32.750
 the ICE agents involved in the incident today

379
00:22:33.330 --> 00:22:36.870
 are under suspension pending further review of the incident.

380
00:22:37.630 --> 00:22:38.510
 That's what she had to say.

381
00:22:38.610 --> 00:22:38.890
 That's it.

382
00:22:38.970 --> 00:22:42.650
 But no, instead, she tried to lie and cover up

383
00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:44.270
 and say, oh, well, you know,

384
00:22:44.290 --> 00:22:46.110
 they're approached with a nine millimeter,

385
00:22:46.590 --> 00:22:48.090
 which clearly didn't happen.

386
00:22:48.430 --> 00:22:49.150
 Didn't happen.

387
00:22:49.890 --> 00:22:51.630
 I'm going to show another video.

388
00:22:53.170 --> 00:22:55.450
 Now, this is more of a close up and a slow down.

389
00:22:56.990 --> 00:23:04.710
 And what I want you to see is that the ICE agent

390
00:23:04.710 --> 00:23:07.950
 with the gray coat and hat I've been talking about,

391
00:23:08.050 --> 00:23:10.610
 he's very clear in this particular video.

392
00:23:10.890 --> 00:23:12.910
 This is where you're going to see him without a gun

393
00:23:12.910 --> 00:23:13.970
 in his hand, in his right hand.

394
00:23:13.990 --> 00:23:19.190
 You're going to see how he is over the person who was killed.

395
00:23:20.550 --> 00:23:25.550
 Not struggling, not grabbing his foot, leg, whatever, arm.

396
00:23:26.130 --> 00:23:27.070
 He wasn't on the floor.

397
00:23:27.430 --> 00:23:29.660
 He was over him, standing over him,

398
00:23:30.630 --> 00:23:33.960
 reached over with his right arm to where that holster was

399
00:23:34.490 --> 00:23:35.850
 to pull the gun out.

400
00:23:35.990 --> 00:23:37.410
 And he walks away with it.

401
00:23:37.670 --> 00:23:43.490
 So at no point did the person in question who was killed

402
00:23:43.490 --> 00:23:45.990
 ever pull the damn weapon.

403
00:23:47.810 --> 00:23:48.610
 Check this out.

404
00:23:50.210 --> 00:23:52.850
 So right there, empty hand, empty hand.

405
00:23:54.650 --> 00:23:55.850
 Here he is walking up behind.

406
00:23:58.540 --> 00:24:01.520
 And this is where he straddles over behind him.

407
00:24:01.580 --> 00:24:04.080
 And then this hand here, see his right hand reaching down,

408
00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:07.280
 still empty, reaches over to his right backside.

409
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:09.880
 You can see the assailant's legs right here.

410
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:11.500
 So he's reaching over his backside.

411
00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:14.300
 And he's struggling here, but he's trying to pull

412
00:24:14.300 --> 00:24:15.240
 the weapon out of the holster.

413
00:24:15.280 --> 00:24:16.460
 You can see it right here.

414
00:24:17.300 --> 00:24:18.920
 There he is still pulling, pulling.

415
00:24:19.540 --> 00:24:21.660
 And here's the gun in his hand right now.

416
00:24:22.320 --> 00:24:23.280
 There's the gun.

417
00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:24.560
 He's going to spin around.

418
00:24:25.020 --> 00:24:26.240
 You clearly see the gun.

419
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:28.680
 Now he is walking away.

420
00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:34.600
 And now after he has the gun, he walks away.

421
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:37.450
 The person is shot.

422
00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:39.960
 Shot dead.

423
00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:44.180
 Shot dead, even though he doesn't have the weapon.

424
00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:45.940
 How about another view?

425
00:24:46.760 --> 00:24:47.700
 Do we need more evidence?

426
00:24:48.620 --> 00:24:48.840
 Sure.

427
00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:50.380
 Here's some more video here.

428
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:53.540
 Here's another close up.

429
00:24:53.540 --> 00:24:58.340
 And this view you can see kind of from the front side.

430
00:24:59.620 --> 00:25:03.500
 So this you get a really clear view of the ICE agent's right hand

431
00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:07.060
 as he is pulling on the weapon in the holster

432
00:25:07.060 --> 00:25:10.540
 and trying to get it out of the holster and walk away with it.

433
00:25:10.860 --> 00:25:16.040
 So again, another clear shot of where the assailant,

434
00:25:16.100 --> 00:25:20.620
 the person who was being subdued, didn't have the weapon on him.

435
00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:24.660
 There it is.

436
00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:26.060
 The right hand is right there.

437
00:25:26.060 --> 00:25:29.430
 He's pulling on the weapon on the back right side of the assailant

438
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:31.980
 or alleged assailant.

439
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.460
 There it is.

440
00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:37.060
 Pulling, pulling, pulling, still pulling on it.

441
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:39.000
 And he has the weapon.

442
00:25:39.780 --> 00:25:47.720
 So where in all of this is the proof that this individual

443
00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:53.820
 furnished a weapon to be used against ICE agents?

444
00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:56.300
 At what point in any video,

445
00:25:56.300 --> 00:25:59.280
 even the ones I showed in the beginning that show the full incident,

446
00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:03.980
 did he walk up to an ICE agent with a weapon?

447
00:26:06.530 --> 00:26:13.160
 Now, the answer to that is never, he didn't have a weapon.

448
00:26:13.800 --> 00:26:15.540
 So here's the weapon in question.

449
00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:19.260
 And it's a six hour.

450
00:26:20.840 --> 00:26:26.700
 And the thing with this weapon, this gun, is it's custom.

451
00:26:27.520 --> 00:26:30.960
 And it's not a typical weapon that would be bought by somebody

452
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.680
 who is a criminal.

453
00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:36.420
 It's about a $2,000 gun or something like that.

454
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:37.440
 Somewhere in that ballpark.

455
00:26:38.580 --> 00:26:44.760
 It's not something that the average person with bad intent

456
00:26:44.760 --> 00:26:48.120
 is going to be carrying around because it's pricey for one.

457
00:26:49.140 --> 00:26:50.160
 And it's custom.

458
00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:52.120
 Now we can argue it was stolen.

459
00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:53.000
 Maybe it was hot.

460
00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:54.680
 Maybe he bought it in a black market.

461
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.520
 Who knows?

462
00:26:56.280 --> 00:26:57.980
 But I doubt it.

463
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.480
 It doesn't fit what's going on.

464
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.180
 Looking at what was happening and how he was carrying himself,

465
00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:08.900
 it doesn't fit the narrative.

466
00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:12.000
 Not the narrative that Kristi Noem is trying to make us believe.

467
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.820
 I'm going to pull up a video by Ryan Macbeth, previous guest of the show here.

468
00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:17.540
 Some of you may know who he is.

469
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:21.200
 He's an analyst, intel guy.

470
00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:29.300
 But he released a video today on what he thinks about this weapon.

471
00:27:29.300 --> 00:27:31.260
 Because to him, it was also very fishy.

472
00:27:31.360 --> 00:27:34.900
 It was kind of like, well, this isn't something somebody would normally carry.

473
00:27:36.970 --> 00:27:43.950
 So here's this video of Ryan Macbeth given his assessment of the gun in question.

474
00:27:44.930 --> 00:27:49.390
 And how this may speak to the personality of the person who is carrying it

475
00:27:49.390 --> 00:27:55.270
 and what may be his intentions or why it doesn't fit the intent of someone

476
00:27:55.270 --> 00:27:58.470
 who may be considered a criminal or someone who intends to do harm.

477
00:27:58.470 --> 00:28:02.130
 Again, we don't know what the intentions were.

478
00:28:02.830 --> 00:28:06.270
 All we know is he had an expensive weapon or gun on him.

479
00:28:06.650 --> 00:28:12.570
 He was filming, holding a cell phone, and never furnished the weapon.

480
00:28:12.610 --> 00:28:13.670
 Never pulled it out.

481
00:28:13.850 --> 00:28:15.130
 Never pointed at ICE.

482
00:28:15.950 --> 00:28:17.070
 Here's Ryan Macbeth.

483
00:28:28.750 --> 00:28:31.190
 I am a huge fan of Sig Sauer pistols.

484
00:28:31.350 --> 00:28:35.990
 This gun is a Sig Sauer P320 custom, and you can customize these builds

485
00:28:35.990 --> 00:28:38.170
 to pretty much anything you want.

486
00:28:38.370 --> 00:28:42.650
 And these Sig P320 customs get really expensive really quick.

487
00:28:42.910 --> 00:28:46.910
 This gun was threaded for a suppressor, and it also had a red dot sight.

488
00:28:47.070 --> 00:28:51.890
 You can basically build this gun on Sig's website, and it costs about $2,200.

489
00:28:52.530 --> 00:28:54.110
 And in addition to being really expensive,

490
00:28:54.130 --> 00:28:57.310
 it's also going to be way heavier than your average concealed carry pistol.

491
00:28:57.310 --> 00:29:02.990
 I carry a Sig P365 every day, and it's about 1.2, 1.5 pounds.

492
00:29:03.310 --> 00:29:07.750
 But the Sig 320 in the incident is anywhere between 2.5 to 3 pounds.

493
00:29:07.930 --> 00:29:09.890
 Not impossible to conceal carry under your person,

494
00:29:09.970 --> 00:29:12.310
 especially if you're wearing a heavy Minnesota winter coat,

495
00:29:12.350 --> 00:29:15.150
 but not something I would want to carry every day.

496
00:29:15.390 --> 00:29:19.170
 The other interesting thing is that most guns found in the possession of criminals

497
00:29:19.170 --> 00:29:23.450
 while committing a crime are Glock, Taurus, Smith & Wesson, and Ruger.

498
00:29:23.630 --> 00:29:25.510
 That's not because Sig Sauer pistols are bad.

499
00:29:25.510 --> 00:29:28.370
 It's because those other four brands are less expensive,

500
00:29:28.390 --> 00:29:29.990
 and so more people own them.

501
00:29:30.170 --> 00:29:33.630
 So there's more opportunities for them to be stolen and then later used in a crime.

502
00:29:33.970 --> 00:29:36.290
 So I think if this weapon was taken off of someone who was shot,

503
00:29:36.510 --> 00:29:39.470
 I think we can make some assumptions or predictions about the person who carried it.

504
00:29:39.610 --> 00:29:43.570
 I don't think the person who was shot was a petty criminal or even an immigrant gangster.

505
00:29:43.710 --> 00:29:46.310
 They would just have a cheaper or more commonly owned handgun.

506
00:29:46.410 --> 00:29:48.290
 It's not impossible this gun wasn't stolen.

507
00:29:48.470 --> 00:29:49.910
 It's just a lot less likely.

508
00:29:50.130 --> 00:29:53.870
 What's interesting is that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement uses the Sig P320.

509
00:29:53.870 --> 00:29:57.090
 And I have to say this because there's a lot of conspiracy theorists out there who say,

510
00:29:57.290 --> 00:29:59.330
 oh, they threw the gun on the guy afterwards.

511
00:29:59.570 --> 00:30:01.390
 Well, their guns wouldn't look custom like this.

512
00:30:01.410 --> 00:30:02.610
 It would look more like this.

513
00:30:02.810 --> 00:30:05.670
 I also don't think that the person who was shot is likely to be someone

514
00:30:05.670 --> 00:30:07.230
 who was just going about their day,

515
00:30:07.370 --> 00:30:10.550
 concealed carrying a pistol, doing normal things like going to the grocery store.

516
00:30:10.770 --> 00:30:13.270
 This just isn't the kind of gun that you take to do that.

517
00:30:13.470 --> 00:30:17.510
 So all that being said, I don't think the person carrying this pistol was a petty criminal.

518
00:30:17.630 --> 00:30:20.610
 I don't think this person was a guy who concealed carries every day.

519
00:30:20.670 --> 00:30:23.150
 I think this person took their home defense pistol

520
00:30:23.150 --> 00:30:28.330
 and for whatever reason decided to approach or confront ICE agents with it.

521
00:30:28.530 --> 00:30:32.450
 And unfortunately, it resulted in an undesirable outcome.

522
00:30:33.850 --> 00:30:36.270
 So Poodles to Ryan, good video, good explanation.

523
00:30:37.090 --> 00:30:38.810
 But as he said, look, there's no guarantee.

524
00:30:38.990 --> 00:30:41.730
 Sure, it could have been stolen weapon, could have been highly unlikely.

525
00:30:42.290 --> 00:30:44.110
 Not the common weapon a criminal would carry,

526
00:30:44.190 --> 00:30:47.450
 not the easiest weapon to buy on the black market because again, more expensive,

527
00:30:47.890 --> 00:30:51.510
 not as common and in this case being a custom weapon

528
00:30:51.510 --> 00:30:56.490
 that cost over $2,000, not many of those particular weapons around,

529
00:30:56.790 --> 00:30:58.930
 especially that look exactly like that with those exact specs.

530
00:31:00.530 --> 00:31:02.250
 So plausible, yeah.

531
00:31:02.770 --> 00:31:03.950
 Likely, not really.

532
00:31:05.830 --> 00:31:08.350
 And with all of this being said,

533
00:31:09.090 --> 00:31:14.750
 nothing adds up to this person walking into the situation with any kind of criminal intent.

534
00:31:15.570 --> 00:31:25.030
 This person seemed to have apprehensions about whether or not that this area in which they're

535
00:31:25.030 --> 00:31:31.590
 walking into is a place where there could be something bad that would happen.

536
00:31:31.610 --> 00:31:36.730
 So maybe he literally just had it on himself for the purpose of self-protection for a just in case.

537
00:31:38.550 --> 00:31:42.250
 And given that he had the holster on his back right side where it was

538
00:31:42.250 --> 00:31:45.390
 not like he could easily just reach down to the side and grab it or whatnot,

539
00:31:45.390 --> 00:31:47.450
 or even in the front waistband, it was just behind him.

540
00:31:47.770 --> 00:31:50.530
 He would have to reach back with his arm to pull it out.

541
00:31:51.730 --> 00:31:56.370
 And even then your arms kind of turned around, your hand be like this inverted,

542
00:31:56.410 --> 00:31:59.450
 and then you're kind of like trying to pull it out and then brandish it.

543
00:31:59.550 --> 00:32:03.030
 So it's not like it's necessarily a quick move.

544
00:32:03.090 --> 00:32:07.510
 I mean, it could be, but it isn't as quick as like reaching down in front

545
00:32:07.510 --> 00:32:09.950
 and just pulling it straight out and then there it is.

546
00:32:09.950 --> 00:32:15.570
 So I don't think the intent of this person was bad whatsoever.

547
00:32:17.710 --> 00:32:18.830
 Here's what's going on.

548
00:32:20.230 --> 00:32:24.270
 The rhetoric being pushed, and this is where I might get a little biased,

549
00:32:24.390 --> 00:32:29.970
 you know, hold on, right versus left, but the messaging of the left

550
00:32:30.630 --> 00:32:33.950
 regarding the situation is fanning the flames and fueling the fire.

551
00:32:35.090 --> 00:32:40.990
 There are videos of influencers out there and Antifa members telling these protesters,

552
00:32:41.170 --> 00:32:42.650
 it's time to take up arms.

553
00:32:42.770 --> 00:32:46.970
 It's time to protect yourself against the federal government.

554
00:32:48.030 --> 00:32:49.190
 You need to arm yourselves.

555
00:32:49.250 --> 00:32:50.390
 It's time to take up arms.

556
00:32:50.750 --> 00:32:54.190
 And if you don't believe me, just do your own searching online.

557
00:32:54.430 --> 00:32:57.530
 Like go to any social media site and start looking for this.

558
00:32:57.590 --> 00:32:58.130
 You're going to find it.

559
00:32:58.130 --> 00:32:58.810
 It is there.

560
00:32:59.390 --> 00:33:00.390
 They are there.

561
00:33:00.990 --> 00:33:07.930
 And then you had Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota recently making a statement

562
00:33:07.930 --> 00:33:10.170
 in where he's pretty much threatening the federal government,

563
00:33:10.190 --> 00:33:14.210
 the Trump administration by saying we will use the National Guard.

564
00:33:16.130 --> 00:33:20.250
 National Guard are Minnesotans and they will protect Minnesota.

565
00:33:22.950 --> 00:33:26.170
 He's also instructed law enforcement not to help ICE.

566
00:33:29.020 --> 00:33:35.970
 When you have political leaders of the left saying that we will fight

567
00:33:35.970 --> 00:33:37.990
 the federal government with our own National Guard,

568
00:33:38.990 --> 00:33:45.250
 when you have leaders of the left making statements about having to protect yourself,

569
00:33:45.630 --> 00:33:50.750
 when you have political influencers saying take up arms against ICE,

570
00:33:51.210 --> 00:33:52.040
 and for what?

571
00:33:52.770 --> 00:33:53.610
 Protect what?

572
00:33:54.070 --> 00:33:59.530
 The deportation of illegal immigrants?

573
00:34:03.570 --> 00:34:08.510
 Look, under Obama, nobody cared.

574
00:34:09.730 --> 00:34:10.350
 Nobody cared.

575
00:34:11.050 --> 00:34:12.570
 He was praised for everything he did.

576
00:34:13.330 --> 00:34:18.010
 A lot of people didn't realize that Tom Homan, the guy in charge right now,

577
00:34:18.150 --> 00:34:27.250
 Tom Homan worked for the Obama administration and was awarded by Obama.

578
00:34:29.290 --> 00:34:30.770
 For deportations.

579
00:34:33.150 --> 00:34:33.750
 He was awarded.

580
00:34:34.010 --> 00:34:40.690
 He was given an award for his work for the number of deportations by Obama.

581
00:34:41.989 --> 00:34:48.210
 And Obama was labeled the deporter in chief because in his first year,

582
00:34:48.389 --> 00:34:55.370
 first two years, he deported more people than any other president within that short time frame.

583
00:34:56.969 --> 00:34:58.630
 So Obama was praised.

584
00:34:59.350 --> 00:35:00.610
 Homan was awarded.

585
00:35:01.590 --> 00:35:05.230
 And then the whole kids in cages incident that everybody was up in arms about and was

586
00:35:05.230 --> 00:35:08.390
 trying to blame Trump for in his first term was literally,

587
00:35:10.090 --> 00:35:12.150
 literally squarely on the shoulders of Obama.

588
00:35:12.230 --> 00:35:15.310
 In fact, and I've already talked about this in previous episodes,

589
00:35:17.150 --> 00:35:22.730
 the ACLU wanted to sue Obama for the kids in cages incident.

590
00:35:24.410 --> 00:35:27.830
 And if we go back further to Clinton,

591
00:35:29.350 --> 00:35:36.650
 during Clinton's administration, he deported more than Obama and to date, Trump.

592
00:35:37.630 --> 00:35:39.530
 See, people forget about the Bill Clinton era.

593
00:35:40.130 --> 00:35:47.630
 He deported 12.3 million and still nobody had a problem.

594
00:35:48.830 --> 00:35:49.190
 Nobody.

595
00:35:50.270 --> 00:35:55.990
 Yet Hillary Clinton giving speeches about how we need to deport illegal immigrants

596
00:35:55.990 --> 00:35:59.050
 and protect this country and close the borders and all of that jazz.

597
00:36:02.150 --> 00:36:07.290
 Many people on the left in the Clinton administration were hardcore,

598
00:36:08.670 --> 00:36:09.270
 hardcore about it.

599
00:36:09.270 --> 00:36:13.790
 Even Chuck Schumer, he had a video where even he called for people

600
00:36:13.790 --> 00:36:19.450
 to stop calling them undocumented and call them illegal aliens.

601
00:36:19.510 --> 00:36:21.970
 He literally said that, Chuck Schumer.

602
00:36:24.670 --> 00:36:27.430
 But today, because it's Trump,

603
00:36:27.430 --> 00:36:30.010
 Trump's administration trying to enforce the law,

604
00:36:31.250 --> 00:36:34.130
 it's Nazi, it's fascism, it's bad.

605
00:36:34.630 --> 00:36:37.890
 Take up arms and fight the government to protect what?

606
00:36:38.290 --> 00:36:41.090
 People who literally broke the law by coming here.

607
00:36:41.410 --> 00:36:44.070
 And then you can make the argument about, well, what if their visa ran out?

608
00:36:44.090 --> 00:36:47.230
 They were here already legally, but while they're here, the visa ran out.

609
00:36:47.650 --> 00:36:51.570
 You know when your visa is going to fucking expire, plan accordingly.

610
00:36:52.490 --> 00:36:53.910
 You could apply for extensions.

611
00:36:54.150 --> 00:36:55.730
 There's things you can do.

612
00:36:56.610 --> 00:36:58.710
 But when your visa is up, it's up.

613
00:36:58.830 --> 00:37:03.490
 The government can enforce the law and say, hey, you no longer can be here.

614
00:37:03.790 --> 00:37:05.530
 And they will tell you it's time to go.

615
00:37:05.590 --> 00:37:07.890
 They don't necessarily go after you right away.

616
00:37:09.490 --> 00:37:12.690
 You know, you know, and they let you know.

617
00:37:14.770 --> 00:37:17.170
 So we can take that argument, roll it up,

618
00:37:17.250 --> 00:37:19.870
 and just throw it right out the window because no one's buying that.

619
00:37:20.890 --> 00:37:24.390
 The opposition to what's happening to the enforcement of federal law

620
00:37:24.390 --> 00:37:29.590
 is squarely on the left because they hate Trump that much.

621
00:37:30.290 --> 00:37:33.350
 And sure, there's a lot about Trump to hate.

622
00:37:33.790 --> 00:37:36.670
 There's a lot about Trump that you don't have to like.

623
00:37:37.930 --> 00:37:43.710
 But in this situation, trying to enforce the law, he is not wrong.

624
00:37:43.790 --> 00:37:45.090
 He's actually in the right.

625
00:37:45.910 --> 00:37:49.550
 He's protecting the sovereignty and security of this nation.

626
00:37:50.810 --> 00:37:55.330
 And leftist leaders trying to stir the pot here,

627
00:37:56.450 --> 00:38:00.210
 trying to rile up the opposition in their favor

628
00:38:01.250 --> 00:38:05.590
 with political influencers of the left and Antifa members.

629
00:38:05.730 --> 00:38:08.210
 And you name it, everybody coming out and saying, take up arms, take up arms,

630
00:38:08.330 --> 00:38:09.530
 fight the right, fight the right.

631
00:38:11.550 --> 00:38:14.550
 The ICE are nothing but the Gestapo, modern day Gestapo.

632
00:38:15.590 --> 00:38:16.390
 They are Nazis.

633
00:38:16.590 --> 00:38:17.350
 There's no difference.

634
00:38:18.130 --> 00:38:25.490
 This rhetoric, this talk, it's what's making this situation worse and worse

635
00:38:25.490 --> 00:38:27.430
 as every day goes by.

636
00:38:29.230 --> 00:38:32.990
 Two deaths within a short amount of time here.

637
00:38:33.890 --> 00:38:38.670
 A mother killed and this person, I believe, in fact, check me on this,

638
00:38:38.730 --> 00:38:40.610
 I believe he was a nurse or nursing student.

639
00:38:40.750 --> 00:38:45.630
 I don't really recall because again, this story is still developing.

640
00:38:46.530 --> 00:38:50.790
 But from what I saw on social media, he wasn't necessarily a person with,

641
00:38:50.790 --> 00:38:51.430
 he wasn't a criminal.

642
00:38:51.430 --> 00:38:52.250
 He had no record.

643
00:38:53.130 --> 00:38:56.930
 He was a professional, you know, a person I believe that worked in medical.

644
00:38:59.030 --> 00:39:02.530
 And he died for no reason.

645
00:39:03.610 --> 00:39:05.810
 Renee Nicole Good should never have died.

646
00:39:06.590 --> 00:39:09.170
 But in that situation, she should have also complied.

647
00:39:09.910 --> 00:39:14.530
 It was not the correct decision to drive your vehicle away and into ICE officers.

648
00:39:14.530 --> 00:39:20.330
 I'm sorry, but the response there was justified because your vehicle is a weapon at that point.

649
00:39:21.490 --> 00:39:23.410
 But it was tragic.

650
00:39:23.750 --> 00:39:28.650
 And I got to be honest, it was poor decisions on both sides in that situation.

651
00:39:31.060 --> 00:39:42.240
 What happened today was clear that ICE agents themselves reacted poorly.

652
00:39:42.660 --> 00:39:44.400
 They're the ones who made the bad decision.

653
00:39:45.020 --> 00:39:50.680
 They stripped this person of the weapon he had that was being carried in his holster.

654
00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:54.620
 That was never touched, never drawn, never pointed at ICE.

655
00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:57.080
 It was taken away from him.

656
00:39:57.300 --> 00:40:02.120
 The agent that took it walked away, took three whole steps, three whole steps.

657
00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:08.300
 And then that person who was being subdued was fired upon.

658
00:40:11.450 --> 00:40:14.890
 Regardless of your argument, you can argue he shouldn't have brought a weapon into a protest.

659
00:40:15.250 --> 00:40:16.310
 He shouldn't have had it on him.

660
00:40:16.310 --> 00:40:19.670
 While bringing a weapon and confronting ICE is a threat.

661
00:40:19.670 --> 00:40:20.890
 He didn't confront ICE.

662
00:40:21.030 --> 00:40:22.070
 He was filming.

663
00:40:22.530 --> 00:40:24.730
 And then he went to go help the woman who was pushed on the ground.

664
00:40:25.710 --> 00:40:29.310
 I can't argue for your side.

665
00:40:29.690 --> 00:40:30.510
 I'm sorry, Maga.

666
00:40:30.870 --> 00:40:32.270
 I'm not going to spin this.

667
00:40:33.090 --> 00:40:34.090
 We're going to tell the truth.

668
00:40:35.550 --> 00:40:42.630
 These ICE officers should have immediately been taken off duty, suspended indefinitely,

669
00:40:43.570 --> 00:40:45.650
 pending investigation, period.

670
00:40:45.650 --> 00:40:47.270
 That should have been the announcement.

671
00:40:48.530 --> 00:40:49.550
 That should have been the announcement.

672
00:40:50.650 --> 00:40:54.410
 This whole thing is not helping the Trump administration.

673
00:40:55.490 --> 00:40:57.130
 And to that point, I'm going to tell you this.

674
00:40:57.450 --> 00:41:04.000
 Everybody who wants to blame Trump, Trump isn't physically there in these ICE raids.

675
00:41:04.040 --> 00:41:06.100
 He's not the one physically involved.

676
00:41:06.660 --> 00:41:09.660
 He's not the one physically arresting people and physically shooting people.

677
00:41:10.060 --> 00:41:13.740
 Sure, we can say he's responsible or his administration is responsible.

678
00:41:14.640 --> 00:41:17.120
 Ultimately, I guess shit rolls uphill, but not really.

679
00:41:17.340 --> 00:41:18.580
 Who is really in charge?

680
00:41:19.020 --> 00:41:19.880
 We've got Tom Homan.

681
00:41:21.080 --> 00:41:22.340
 We've got Kristi Noem.

682
00:41:25.140 --> 00:41:27.080
 If anything should be held responsible.

683
00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:32.040
 And for Kristi Noem to make that statement today, which is blatantly lying.

684
00:41:32.220 --> 00:41:33.620
 It is blatantly lying.

685
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:34.080
 I'm sorry.

686
00:41:34.160 --> 00:41:35.920
 I can't support what you said, Kristi.

687
00:41:36.540 --> 00:41:41.020
 Everybody can see clear as day that ICE made a bad decision.

688
00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:43.720
 They murdered this guy.

689
00:41:43.720 --> 00:41:44.460
 I'm just going to say it.

690
00:41:45.640 --> 00:41:46.920
 There was multiple shots.

691
00:41:47.620 --> 00:41:48.580
 It wasn't one shot.

692
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:51.920
 And then you could explain, oh, it was accidental in the heat of the moment.

693
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:54.040
 No, it was multiple shots.

694
00:41:55.060 --> 00:41:57.780
 I believe people were saying it was eight shots, eight gunshots.

695
00:41:58.460 --> 00:42:01.080
 To a person who was on all fours on the ground,

696
00:42:01.340 --> 00:42:03.980
 who was pepper sprayed in the face, who didn't have a weapon.

697
00:42:05.260 --> 00:42:05.880
 Bad look.

698
00:42:06.700 --> 00:42:08.360
 This is not good for America.

699
00:42:09.220 --> 00:42:13.000
 This is further evidence that, to be quite honest,

700
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:17.220
 while Trump is grandstanding at Davos, giving these speeches,

701
00:42:18.060 --> 00:42:21.680
 accusing other countries of whatever it is that they should or should not be doing,

702
00:42:22.420 --> 00:42:26.220
 it's time for Trump to come home and focus on this situation.

703
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.320
 He needs to get his administration in line.

704
00:42:29.380 --> 00:42:32.020
 He needs to get his administration in line.

705
00:42:32.580 --> 00:42:34.600
 He needs to get down to the bottom of this shit.

706
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:36.900
 And he needs to make a statement.

707
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:40.520
 He needs to address the issue himself directly.

708
00:42:41.420 --> 00:42:44.840
 And admit, hey, this situation was bad.

709
00:42:45.080 --> 00:42:46.540
 This is not how things are handled.

710
00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:48.280
 We're looking into it.

711
00:42:49.420 --> 00:42:51.720
 These agents that are involved are suspended.

712
00:42:52.500 --> 00:42:54.540
 Again, as I said, pending investigation.

713
00:42:55.180 --> 00:42:56.860
 That is the proper response.

714
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:58.080
 That's what America needs.

715
00:42:58.200 --> 00:42:59.880
 That would show real leadership.

716
00:43:02.740 --> 00:43:03.560
 Sorry, Trump.

717
00:43:03.860 --> 00:43:08.500
 Sorry for all you MAGA people, but I'm not supporting this.

718
00:43:08.560 --> 00:43:09.340
 I'm not spinning it.

719
00:43:09.340 --> 00:43:09.800
 This is it.

720
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:10.340
 This is truth.

721
00:43:10.380 --> 00:43:11.140
 You don't believe me?

722
00:43:11.220 --> 00:43:11.920
 Watch the videos.

723
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:14.060
 There are hundreds of them out there now.

724
00:43:14.100 --> 00:43:14.460
 Hundreds.

725
00:43:15.160 --> 00:43:16.920
 Everybody has been posting and reposting this.

726
00:43:17.580 --> 00:43:19.680
 There's no way you can look at this situation

727
00:43:19.680 --> 00:43:25.260
 and argue that it was the fault of the individual who was killed.

728
00:43:26.340 --> 00:43:26.780
 Period.

729
00:43:27.700 --> 00:43:31.660
 If that hurts your feelings, too fucking bad.

730
00:43:34.910 --> 00:43:35.270
 All right.

731
00:43:35.270 --> 00:43:36.470
 Well, I'm going to end that there.

732
00:43:37.490 --> 00:43:45.150
 Cheers to all you and appreciate you listening.

733
00:43:45.350 --> 00:43:46.930
 Look, remember everybody.

734
00:43:46.930 --> 00:43:51.070
 If you've been with me from the beginning, you got to like, subscribe,

735
00:43:52.050 --> 00:43:54.710
 as you probably already do, but share the damn show with others.

736
00:43:54.770 --> 00:43:56.010
 Let everybody else know about World of Blaze.

737
00:43:56.530 --> 00:43:58.090
 Remember, you can find me on social media.

738
00:43:58.250 --> 00:43:59.650
 My handle is at FonsiBlaze.

739
00:43:59.790 --> 00:44:01.230
 I am all over the place right now.

740
00:44:02.350 --> 00:44:05.030
 I don't push it too hard, so do me a favor.

741
00:44:05.150 --> 00:44:05.650
 Give me a follow.

742
00:44:06.010 --> 00:44:08.450
 But more importantly, share this show with everybody else.

743
00:44:09.170 --> 00:44:12.810
 And again, look, America, let's get our shit together

744
00:44:13.330 --> 00:44:16.910
 and let's do our best to bring America back

745
00:44:16.930 --> 00:44:18.190
 to what it really is.

746
00:44:18.190 --> 00:44:21.590
 It should be a bastion of freedom, democracy.

747
00:44:21.650 --> 00:44:23.270
 It should be a shining light to the world.

748
00:44:23.310 --> 00:44:26.670
 But right now we're showing the world that we are a shit show

749
00:44:26.670 --> 00:44:29.290
 and that we can't even handle our own shit.

750
00:44:31.050 --> 00:44:33.730
 But we're able to go out there and tell everybody else

751
00:44:33.730 --> 00:44:35.850
 what they're doing wrong and what they need to approve.

752
00:44:40.150 --> 00:44:42.690
 That being said, thanks for listening.

753
00:44:42.870 --> 00:44:43.930
 Thanks for watching.

754
00:44:45.150 --> 00:44:46.870
 Please do your best to have a good day.

755
00:44:52.750 --> 00:44:55.730
 Honesty is a one way gate to hell.
