With all due respect. With all due respect, sir, my question is more pointed. Do you believe your colleagues may have gone farther? You are an attorney. A DOJ, 18 U.S. code 2331, has a legal definition of domestic terrorism. And it doesn't appear to most of the country that have. Watch the available video and we'll see if there's body cam video. I'd love to know if that's going to come out, if there was such a thing. But it does not appear to have met that definition of domestic terrorism. So I'm just sort of wondering how you in the DOJ are viewing whether your colleagues may have gone too far.

C (6:40)

Look, I don't, I don't think anybody thinks that they were comparing what happened on Saturday to the legal definition of domestic terrorism. What we saw was a very violent altercation. And we. I am not going to prejudge the facts. You're right. There's a bunch of video that's out there. There's a bunch of video that we haven't seen yet in the, in the minutes leading up to what happened and what happened afterwards. And you're right, to the extent there's body cam or other videos that, that, that witnesses are still providing to us. So, so I'm not describing it as anything except for a tragedy.

Okay, well, here's what Stephen Miller posted. Miller wrote, a domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement. And this is your response? You and the state's entire Democratic leadership team have been flaming the flames of insurrection for the singular purpose of stopping the deportation of illegals who invaded the country. And as our editor in chief, Ron Philip Koski wrote back on January 24th when Miller posted this, filming federal agents is only domestic terrorism to fascists. Trump's regime was saying that Alex Pretty was a domestic terrorist there to massacre Border Patrol and ICE Gestapo. Just so you can see for yourself, this was Greg Bevino and Kristi Noem literally saying the exact same thing after Alex Pretty was murdered. And Blue Georgia did a good side by side. Cut here play this clip.

An individual approached U.S. border Patrol officer with a 9 millimeter semi automatic handle semi automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual but the armed suspect reacted violently, fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers. On the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject but he was pronounced pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two magazines with rounds. He also had no id. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at this.

And we're earlier this morning you had the Wall Street Journal editorial board publishing the following this is backfiring against Republicans. Americans don't want law enforcement shooting people in the streets or arresting five year old boys. The headline from the Wall Street Journal op ed was time for ICE to pause. In Minneapolis, Alex Pretty made a mistake, but he wasn't a domestic terrorist. What mistake did he make though? Wall Street Journal. We have a First Amendment right to peacefully protest. He was there peacefully protesting the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo who were terrorizing the community they were brutalizing and pepper spraying a female protester. And Alex Pretty went to simply help her when he was pepper sprayed, gang tackled and beaten by the Border Patrol Gestapo before he was murdered. So what mistake did he make? There's a First Amendment right there. There's also a second Amendment right, the right to bear arms. And Pretty had a legal permit to conceal carry a handgun. He was not brandishing the gun, he didn't point it. In fact, what happened, and we all saw the videos, a Border Patrol agent was removed the gun from the holster and then when he was completely helpless, Pretty was murdered. There was no mistakes made right here. And all of the Trump regime sycophants, the captain members, the maga, Republicans in the House and Senate who say that if you bring a gun to a protest you deserve to be killed, which is what the Trump regime was saying. They just showed they never cared about the second Amendment ever. They were never first Amendment absolutists. They don't care about anything other than hoisting up their own dictator to suck up all the wealth of this country and give it to the right wing oligarchs and screw over the people. As the Wall Street Journal board though says, Americans don't want law enforcement shooting people in the streets or arresting five year old boys or kidnapping two year old girls. The American people just want health care. The American people want to afford homes. The American people want good education. The American people want to go and afford their groceries. That's what the American people want to go about. Living our lives without a ranting, raving maniac talking about the fake polls this, the fake polls that, Greenland this, Greenland that. We've seen all these message from MAGA supporters as well and I think this is one of the reasons Trump has caved as well. You've got MAGA supporters burning their MAGA hats. You have Kyle writing, I voted for Trump. I supported most of his policies. I agree with conservatives most of the time, but I will not partake in this. If exercising your second Amendment right warrants your death, if rendering aid to your fellow countrymen warrants a death sentence, if constitutional rights take a backseat to administrative policies or infringements are a justified means to an end. I will not partake. Amy Another Trump supporter says, I don't say this lightly. I can no longer support Trump. The actions carried out by ICE are wrong and inhumane, and leadership is responsible for it. Accountability matters and so does humanity. There was a time when I felt I could support Trump even if I didn't agree with everything. But watching what's happened with ICE changed that for me completely. The cruelty, the lack of humanity, the suffering of families, it's not something I can justify or look away from. This isn't about politics anymore. It's about basic human decency. And I cannot support anyone who allows that to be violated or grace. I would like to hear from other Trump supporters. How are you feeling about the last three weeks with with ICE shootings and murder? Because I no longer can support a president that shows no remorse and continues to allow this to go on. I'm beyond sad. My heart is hurting. And to be clear, yes, I've been a libertarian for many years and I also am a Trump supporter for several years. I have my reasons. And now I'm not even MAGA. Republican governor from Florida, Ron DeSantis is out there attacking the regime right now. He posted a chart from bar chart showing the US Dollar absolutely tanking right now. And it says Tim burr. And Ron DeSantis says, Ouch. Attacking the regime. Our editor in chief, Ron Philip Koski writes, I guess the 2028 Republican primary is already getting started early. Philip Koski also writes, is the government ever going to release the name of the masked agents who killed Alex Preddy? Are we going to continue to have a federal secret police force in this country? I guess we found out from Republicans this week the various ways the Second Amendment rights can be infringed. And by the way, just take a look at the name of the nine, the names of the nine people that ICE and Border Patrol have killed so far in 2026. And say their names. Alex Pretty, Renee Goode, Keith Porter, Hebert Sanchez Dominguez. Victor Emmanuel Diaz, Parade La Luis Beltran, Yanez Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunes Caceres, Geraldo Lunos Campos. They all deserve remembrance. They all deserve justice. And when you look into these deaths, they're all horrific. I mean, you take a look at Geraldo Luna's Campos, where the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo said he died by suicide. But then it became clear with an autopsy that he died because he was strangled. And it appears to have been strangled by ICE officials and strangled to death. And that was being covered up as well. Folks Even the leading Republican governor candidate in Minnesota, Chris Maydell, has announced that he will be ending his bid for governor in Minnesota because he can't stand by as the national GOP party goes on to attack the state of Minnesota. He said, I can't be a part of, I can't run for the governor as a Republican candidate where the national Republican Party is out there terrorizing the state of Minnesota. So he dropped out of the race. The leading Republican candidate or one of the leading Republican candidates in Minnesota. And folks, there's so many other data points as well that I just wanna share with you, that you wake up and you say, what's going. This regime is so despicable. I mean, you have Mike Walls, the United Nation, the U.S. ambassador to the United nations, he's out there still ranting and raving and lying that Greenland is not being taken care of by Denmark enough and that they don't have healthcare in Greenland. And if you get, if you have cancer in Greenland, you'll die because you won't be able to get treatment. I think you're referring to the United States because they have universal health care in Greenland. They have universal health care in Denmark. If you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, you may be flown free of charge to Denmark to receive treatment. Free of charge in the U.S. it's a death sentence. Play this clip.

But they have ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint and they have ignored the Greenlandic native Inuit people. Final point there. If you look in contrast to Alaska Natives, there's an Alaska sovereign wealth fund, Shannon, that has over $80 billion in assets benefiting Alaska natives. If you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, it's darn near a death sentence. Denmark has not invested in the way that it should have over the years.

A (17:56)

And as Mike Walls, the MAGA Republican U.S. ambassador to the United nations, is out there again still defaming Greenland and Denmark. You have this latest chart right here. Michael Aret posts it, a chart showing how measles cases are surging, have surged in 2025. And you compare it to prior years and it's astounding. As Michael Aret says, wow, this chart is simply unreal. How is this even possible? That in developed country in the 21st century, you have this taking place with massive measles outbreaks across the United States right now. And finally, it seems that we are now approaching another government shutdown. I did a video on this earlier today. MAGA Mike Johnson has put the House of Representatives in recess. You'll recall that the House passed this appropriation spending bill that would also increase funding for ice. The Democrats in the Senate are not supporting any increases for ice. So if there are any amendments right now to the Appropriations bill in the Senate, which won't which doesn't appear, it will pass the Senate in its current form. If there are any changes, it has to get sent back to the House. But MAGA Mike has sent the House into yet another recess. It's adjourned. They're on vacation again. And now it seems like we're gonna head into another government shutdown. And by the way, MAGA Mike Johnson has not commented at all on anything in the past 48 hours since the cold blooded murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretty. He's gone radio silent because he's weak and he's pathetic. And now that and he sent the House into another vacation just like he did before when he was covering up the Epstein files over the summer and then refused to allow the House to even work.
