We have a big development right now. More Republicans are breaking from the White House and the President of the United States following the murder of Alex Preddy. At the same time, Donald Trump's comments are now landing him in significant hot water, not just on the left, but also on the right following Ilhan Omar being sprayed with an unknown substance. And all the while, the right is upset at the President of the United States today because he says that he wants to deescalate what's happening in Minnesota. All the while, ICE agents continue to act on the ground. Very serious update this morning, so make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe.

Overnight, Donald Trump came under fire from Republicans after he, or really Republicans and Democrats after he suggested that Ilhan Omar was, quote, probably had herself sprayed, referring to a town hall attack in which the congresswoman was sprayed with an unknown substance. Donald Trump, when asked in an interview with ABC whether he saw the video of the spray attack on Ilhan Omar, he says, no, I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud. I really don't think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her. Take a watch. I'm sure many of you have seen this clip already of Ilhan Omar being sprayed with an unknown substance, but it's still important to be played. So take a. Take a watch. Terry Christy Noem must resign or face impeachment. As you can see in that clip, she was sprayed by that man who is now in custody. She continued the town hall to show that she is resilient. Thankfully, Congresswoman Omar is okay. But that had drawn bipartisan condemnation. You had Nancy Mace saying she's deeply disturbed, quote, regardless of how vehemently I disagree with her rhetoric, and I do, no elected official should face physical attacks. You had folks on the left, from Angie Craig to Greg Landsman and others saying this is unacceptable. And yet the President of the United States response, she probably had herself sprayed. He is not making too many friends right now on the right or the left because on the right folks are upset at him this morning as he calls for some type of de escalation in Minnesota. Take a listen to this differently in Minneapolis.
B
Well, it has.
A
It's the only place and now the message is out that Tom Homan is in. Yeah, Commander Bovino is supposedly leaving Minneapolis along with some CBP agency. Is this a pullback?
B
I don't think it's a pullback. It's a Little bit of a change. Everybody in this room that has a business, you know, you make little changes. You know, Bevino is very good, but he's a pretty out there kind of a guy. And in some cases that's good. Maybe it wasn't good here. But you have to understand, when I watch some of the people that I've been watching over the last few weeks, these are paid insurrectionists. These are paid agitators. These people aren't normal like OG that, you know, they're incensed about anything. How do you get incensed when you go into a state and you're taking criminals out, you're taking monsters out. You know, we had 11,888 murderers let into our country by other countries, by Biden with his open border, stupid policy. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You talk about bad policy, open borders where people are coming. So the whole world, the Congo, Venezuela, all over the world, they're letting people in from their prisons and they're feeding them into the United States and they're murderers. And they.
A
Well, that's his talking point, but he was essentially pushed a little bit about, hey, is this a pushback? Is this a pullback? What are we doing here? And, well, folks on the right don't want him to pull back. And yet he is pulling back, at least publicly anyway. And it comes as more Republican senators are breaking from this White House. Senator Rand Paul is the latest after Murkowski and Thom Tillis yesterday broke from Kristi Noem saying that she should be removed, she should not lead the Department of Homeland Security. You now have Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky suggesting that a full investigation is needed and that this White House, well, not telling the full truth. Take a listen. Trump seeming to defend Kristi Noem yesterday. Your thoughts?
C
You know, I think one of the best things President Trump has done and really people from across the aisle support, is removing violent people from our cities. So I think that's been a good thing largely, but it can't be done with no rules. And so when people watch that video and the government tells them, well, he was assaulting the police officers, nobody with any objectivity watches that video and believes that's what's happening. As the man retreats with each altercation, he retreats. And then the woman is thrown violently to the ground. He's thrown to the ground. No American believes that he was assaulting the officers. In fact, the officer opposite appears to be true. So we have to get some rules of the game and we can't have the government justifying this type of behavior because the vast majority of Americans think this was unfair. What happened. The. Also the, the intimation, or actually the explicit call to say you don't have a Second amendment right to carry arms in a protest really flies in the face of most, most of our Second Amendment community. I can tell you. I've been to dozens and dozens of rallies and, or protests where people are visibly armed or have concealed carry. So the people are saying this. We need to get this straight so we can have some kind of awareness that people go to a protest, they know what the rules of the game are. If videoing somebody is an assault, which most people don't believe it is, but that is assault, then people need to know that, that if you video someone, you could be shot. And so we need a clarification on all of this, and I'm a reserve judgment on the secretary for now, but we need to hear from all of the people.
A
He's. He's upset and justifiably so. He is the third Republican to kind of come out like this. He says he's going to reserve judgment on Secretary Noem, but based on all intents and purposes, based on what he's saying, if I had to guess, if impeachment articles. Impeachment were to be brought tomorrow in the Senate, he probably would vote to impeach her. Now, that's three. They would need a lot more. But the sentiment I'm hearing behind the scenes is very similar to this from more Republicans. And it comes as ICE just continues to do its business on the ground right now. I mean, you would think that things would change, but overnight we learned that the country of Ecuador had to file a formal protest with its U.S. embassy in Ecuador. Why? Because ICE agents tried to break into a consulate, Ecuador's consulate in Minneapolis. Take a look.
B
Okay.
A
Step. Okay.
B
You cannot enter here.
A
This is the.
B
This is the foreign.
A
That's real. They literally tried to raid a consulate an Ecuador, Ecuador's consulate. They're not allowed to do that legally. ICE agents, federal agents cannot, cannot do that. That is a violation of international law right there. And yet here we are. So lots of chaos right now in the White House, on Capitol Hill, on the ground in Minnesota. There's a lot of news coming our way, and I'm going to. I have been providing you updates. I will continue to provide you updates. Every step of the way. Feels a little rambling. I just got off a red eye flight. I haven't slept in 27 hours. So here's the news. Make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe and I'll see you soon for.
