Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dallas ICE Facility Shooting & Political Violence

• Incident Recap:

  • A man, Joshua John, opened fire from a rooftop at an ICE facility, killing one detainee and seriously injuring two others before turning the gun on himself.
  • A bullet casing at the scene was inscribed with “anti ICE,” indicating the shooter’s politically motivated intent.
  • This attack is framed as the latest in a series of left-wing violence, including references to the assassinations of Charlie Kirk and incidents involving UnitedHealthcare and Antifa.

• Media & Political Rhetoric:

  • Vince blames escalating violent rhetoric from left-wing politicians and media, particularly the frequent comparison of ICE to Nazi Gestapo.
  • Compilation clips and quotes show repeated use of such analogies on MSNBC and by Democratic leaders.
    • “ICE is looking more and more like an American Gestapo.” — MSNBC Compilation [14:03]
    • “If you have any decency, quit now. Because just doing what you were told has been the justification for some of the worst whores and crimes against humanity.” — Democratic leader, as cited by Vince [17:22]

    • “When I see ICE, I see slave patrols.” — Rep. Jasmine Crockett [21:37]

Notable Quote:

“So what are we going to do about this? How are we going to stop it? I've got some ideas… The only thing that slows down the violence here is to slow down everybody on MSNBC, all these guests who keep appearing… radicalizing people.”
— Vince, [03:12]

2. Reaction from Officials and Political Leaders

    — J.D. Vance, [52:45]

3. Response to Left-Wing Media Narratives

• Media Denial:

  • MSNBC and other outlets float conspiracy theories suggesting the shooter’s anti-ICE message may be a “false flag” rather than genuine left-wing violence [59:00].

• “Andy McCabe can't say Comey authorized it and Comey can't say I didn't authorize it and they're both correct. One of them is clearly lying.” — Vince [1:17:55]
