They're going into our churches now and menacing the faithful as they do nothing but sit there and pray and worship. You know, as you might do on a Sunday that was happening this week, this weekend in St. Paul where a group of left wing lunatics, anti ice terrorists, they go into the city's church, this is a Baptist Church in St. Paul, in order to hunt down one of the pastors. It turns out that the basis for this, insofar as you can establish any rational basis, is there is a pastor at this church by the name of David Easterwood. He is not just a pastor, he's also the acting field office director for ICE in Minnesota. So what these lunatics decided to do was to hunt him down. Now he's not there for that service. He wasn't leading that particular service. But didn't stop the mob from pouring into the building. Take a look here. Cut four. Now they're coming for the churches. Watch.

Renee Good. Renee Good. Renee Good. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are your people? Why are you not at Wibble every day fighting for the humanity, standing for our people? Where are you? You drink your coffee, you got your jewelry, you have your nice clothes, nice lives with your lattes doing absolute nothing for your Latino and Somali brothers and sisters. You come here to A man wearing a suit is a preacher. Did Jesus wear a suit? Did Jesus profit off the words?
- [03:59]
Vince
No.
- [03:59]
Renee Good
Jesus would die within. Do not touch me. Touch me again and see what happens. You are a fake Christian. Why are you not standing with your Somali and Latino communities? Why do I not see you out at Whipple every day protesting this attack on humanity? Where are you? You're sinners. You're pretending to be Christians, but we know you live an easy life, don't you? A very easy life. While people are star shame.

Vince
Accosting, threatening. Get close to me. See what happens. Attacking people inside of their house of worship while they're there for their Sunday services. This is insanity. What we're witnessing. It is also, by the way, a violation of federal law. A complete infringement of what's known as the Face Act. More on that in a moment as the United States Department of Justice has announced that they have launched full blown investigations to everything that you're seeing there. But that. That brazen idiot that you heard there, that's not the first time perhaps you've heard that guy in public. He's a guy by the name of William Kelly. And he has been all over the place in America menacing the men and women of ICE and anybody who dares support their noble work and treating them like utter garbage. I showed you video not too long ago of him in Washington D.C. getting in the face of the National Guard, cursing at them, treating them like garbage as they've done nothing. But of course, clean up the nation's capital. That same guy is doing this. He's getting in the faces of churchgoing families now and in some of the video footage from this weekend. There's even images, these poor kids, of little children who are crying into their arms, of their parents who are overwhelmed, traumatized by what has happened at their church service, devastated by what's happening in front of them. And there were a lot of, I would say, well, patient people inside of that church this weekend, at that Baptist church who were suffering this indignity and doing it rather quietly. Many of them sort of walking out of the church, ended up getting in their cars and leaving. Even as they were getting to the parking lot, these crazy people are screaming in their faces as they're putting their kids in their cars. But that guy, William Kelly, he seems to be a feature at a lot of the most vile left wing actions, like, you know, disruptions going on in our country. And I have, I'm saying this not by way of any encouragement whatsoever. I'm just saying this as a matter of observation. At some point, some father is not going to take kindly to what that man keeps doing. Getting in the face of little children screaming at people that they're not Christian. That man's going to end up hurt or dead as a result of his actions. At some point he's going to cross the wrong person if he keeps this up. And by the way, he keeps being arrested, I mean, the feds arrest him, I think. I don't know, I don't know what law enforcement agencies are arresting this guy. There are reports that William Kelly was arrested on Friday. There's video going around on the Internet. But then what? He's free again to then run inside of a church? Yeah, that's not gonna work for us. You're gonna take people in the custody, keep them. These are criminals. That guy's a criminal. He keeps getting arrested. He needs to be in the criminal justice system and away from peaceful society. There's clearly like a thousand screws loose in that guy's head. So get him help, but get him out of society. Because he's not peaceful. He is inducing chaos. That's what he's doing. And guys like him, they run in there and then they try and wield a couple of things against you in the form of basically trying to exploit your decency. They'll say things like, I'm just doing this because this is my first Amendment rights, my first Amendment right to do this. I'm sorry, I want to remind you about the First Amendment. Let's begin on the First Amendment itself. You know, the very first right of the First Amendment is freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is first in the First Amendment speech comes next. But it's first freedom of religion. There's all sorts of radical lefties this weekend, like, lecturing the rest of us about how, oh, the church just has to deal with this. This is free speech. No, the church doesn't have to deal with it. The church should throw your ass out. That's what the church should do. And while I'm on that subject, stay strapped. Pastors, ministers, the faithful, the congregants, the ushers, whoever you need. We should protect our churches. It is not only a right to protect that church. I think it's an obligation. It is a reasonable thing. In fact, I think it should be considered a required thing to have the good men of the church armed inside of that building just for the protection of the faithful. God willing, you never have to be in a situation where you have to defend the people in that room. But should that occasion arise, the faithful need to be prepared. It's not unreasonable. In fact, it's highly reasonable to be ready. Just be ready, protect the flock. And so this church gets invaded this weekend. Now, it's a Baptist church, which. It makes me think about the fact that today is Martin Luther King Day. Of course, people refer to him as the Reverend Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King was a Baptist minister. A Baptist minister. He was, of course, gunned down by a radical lefty, somebody who was a follower of George Wallace, James Earl Ray. And this is like, you know, that detail almost feels like never mentioned in American history these days. But that is true. A completely radical lefty assassinating Martin Luther King Jr. MLK's mother, a couple years later would be murdered in church inside of Ebenezer Baptist Church by. What do they call themselves? A black radical. A black Hebrew nationalist who goes in and murders her. And so are churches ever attacked? Yes, they are. And do radical lefties do this often? Unfortunately. And increasingly, how many shootings have we seen conducted at churches? Oftentimes by people who have been overtaken by transgender ideologies. We've seen it at Christian schools. Christians in the United States clearly under attack.

Clearly.

Vince
And so this weekend you get a bunch of leftists who now storm a church in the service of adding to that. That's just awful. It is just awful. And among the people who were in the building was Don Lemon. Now you will remember Don Lemon, perhaps former CNN host these days. He is a, you know, a view hustler on the Internet. He's just trying to find ways to get people to watch his videos. And the way he's doing it, is some of the most noxious, poisonous stuff you've ever seen. Here's Don Lemon joining in on the raid on this church, Joining the demons who poured into this church to yell at everyone about how they're not Christian. How about that? Imagine sitting in a church service, and then you get evil people who are trying to foment chaos and protect the most vile criminals in our society. The rapists, the murderers, the very people ICE are picking up. These guys raid the church and then scold you for not being a good Christian. That's the devil's work. And Don Lemon joined in on it this weekend. Here he is turning that service into a spectacle.
- [11:35]
Don Lemon
What do you think of it?
- [11:36]
Church Protester
I mean, this is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship. But there were folks who will say, I have to take care of my flock. Listen, we live in a.
- [11:50]
Don Lemon
There's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.
- [11:55]
Church Protester
We're here to worship. We're here to worship Jesus. Because that's the hope of these cities, that's the hope of the world, is Jesus Christ. I'm gonna be very respectful.
- [12:02]
Don Lemon
Please don't push me, though.
- [12:04]
Church Protester
We're here. We're here to worship Jesus.
- [12:06]
Julio Rosas
Y.
- [12:06]
Church Protester
That's why we're here. Okay? That's why we're here. That's what we're about.
- [12:10]
Don Lemon
Don't you think Jesus would be understanding?
- [12:12]
Church Protester
And we're about love these folks. We're about spreading the love of Jesus.
- [12:15]
Don Lemon
Did you try to talk to them as they.
- [12:17]
Vince
As.
- [12:17]
Church Protester
No one is willing to talk.
- [12:19]
Vince
Okay?
- [12:19]
Church Protester
I have to take care of my church and my family. So I asked this. You actually would also leave this building. You don't want us to chronicle worship unless you're here to worship.
- [12:27]
Vince
I'm always worship.
- [12:28]
Don Lemon
I'm a Christian.
- [12:28]
Church Protester
We're here. Well, we're here to worship. We're here to worship. Okay.
- [12:31]
Vince
Thank you, Christian. What kind of Christian goes in, disrupts the service of people who are sitting there humbly in prayer on a Sunday? What are you talking about? I'm a Christian, so I can do this. So you can just run up to the pulpit and then start hectoring the pastor? That's insanity. And you heard Don Lemon do the same move. He did the First Amendment thing. This is the First Amendment. People have the right to protest. What are you talking about Inside of a church? The First Amendment to our Constitution to remind everyone, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Religion comes first. Or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or of the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances. Religion comes first. And Don Lemon, the know nothing, just so poisonous, gets up there and is like, oh, this is a freedom of speech issue. No, it's not. Get out. Get out. So Don Lemon jumping in on this and what is going to happen as a result of this raid on a church? What are we going to do to stop all of this? Is the is the key question. You know, these I mentioned before and let me reiterate, these people are all in violation of something called the FACE act, which prevents these kinds of disruptions under the law of church services. The left has used the Face act over and over and over again to go after the faithful. The left uses the Face act to go after Christians who sing church hymns outside of abortion mills. The left sicked the federal government on Mark Hauck, a man who literally was just defending his son from a bully. They sicked the government on him and said that he was running afoul of the Face Act. To be really clear about the way this all goes down, Miranda Devine posted the following this weekend. Smart. She said these protesters, aka domestic terrorists, should be raided at dawn by 25 armed FBI agents, arrested, handcuffed, shackled, thrown in a jail cell, and charged with multiple violations of the FACE Act. Just like happened to Catholic father of seven Mark Hauck on September 23, 2022, at his home in rural Bucks County, Pennsylvania, as his children wept and screamed in terror. Only of course, with Hauck, it was an abortion clinic, which is the Democrat idea of a house of worship. Good for her. That's that is true. These abortion mills are considered sacrosanct by the left. Haug faced up to 11 years in prison. Thankfully, he was acquitted by a jury at trial, but the process was the punishment in itself. And his children will never forget what was done to their father. Every one of these churchgoers should file police complaints and launch a class action against the city and the funders of these protests. They will need pro bono legal advice, crowdfunding, or a generous benefactor. Yeah, Miranda, right on all counts. Every single one of these ghouls should be charged with federal criminal violations. Every single one of them. You have to put this down. You have to stop this, and you have to do it perhaps in the most theatrical way possible. All of this needs to be as captured on camera as it can possibly be. We need perp walks. We need aggressiveness on display so that people know that there are consequences for menacing the faithful, for hurting a church. You don't get to do that. Now, who's in charge of all of this? Well, obviously, at the very top, the President of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi. But let me start with the assistant attorney General for civil rights, Harmony Dhillon. Now, Harmeet Dhillon is a patriot. And I've talked about her at some length on this program because she's done a lot of very good things for the country, including, by the way, she has been prosecuting people who have violated the Face act, people who go and deface churches or tear up statues of Jesus and Mary. She's been prosecuting these people. That's the good news. So what should she do here? She should add to the list big time. Here's what we have from Harmony Dhillon. She says the Civil Rights Division is, is investigating the potential violations of the federal Face act by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshipers. That's the beginning of this. So Pam Bond, make that Harmony Dhillon is diving into this. Pam Bondi also announced that the Justice Department is investigating. And she said she spoke to the pastor of the church. She said, I just spoke to the pastor. She posted late last night. In Minnesota, whose church was targeted, attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law. If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails. Okay, there's Pam Bondi saying they're going after all of this. Additionally, we're also hearing from the White House itself. Caroline Levitt posting. This is just ahead of Pam Bondi last night on this subject. She said President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship. The Department of Justice has launched a full investigation into the despicable incident that took place earlier today at a church in Minnesota. Okay, good. Wonderful to have a full investigation launched. Wonderful to see every level involved in this from the White House to the attorney general to the Assistant Attorney General for civil rights. Precisely what we want. But there's one more thing we want. We want those handcuffs aggressively and quickly placed on every single animal who would pour into a Christian church and pull that stunt this weekend. All of them. Get them and do it now. Do it yesterday. Time is of the essence because things are getting way too dicey, and the public needs the clearest possible expressions that these types of violations of the law and certainly of the First Amendment will be put down quickly. Now, I mentioned Don Lemon. Don Lemon was one of the guys. Harmony Dillon has been posting a lot about this in the last 24 hours, and some of the posts have been about Don Lemon's behavior. So in other words, Harmony Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, is paying attention to Don Lemon's behavior inside of that church yesterday. Well, Don is spazzing out this morning that Harmony Dylan is on his trail. And he even. In this video I'm about to show you, he even intentionally mispronounces her name, which, by the way, is, I think, a sign of racism, if I'm following the rules of the left correctly. If you ever said Kamala Harris's name incorrectly, you were a racist. So Don Lemon, obviously racist for mangling Harmeet Dylan's name as he tries to belittle her. But I don't think he's going to win this bout, not when you've got a federal prosecutor breathing down your neck. Here's Don Lemon spazzing out about what is developing right now. Watch.
- [19:58]
Don Lemon
MAGA administration and the fake news magazine are losing their mind over something that's not even true. So let me just make it clear because this a Assistant Attorney General, I don't know, gosh, what's her name?
- [20:12]
Vince
Something.
- [20:12]
Don Lemon
Hemet, Dylan or whatever.
- [20:16]
Vince
So racism.
- [20:18]
Don Lemon
I have no affiliation to that organization. I didn't even know they were going to this church until we followed them there. We were there chronicling protests. Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved, which included the pastor, members of the church, and members of the organization.
- [20:38]
Julio Rosas
That's it.
- [20:39]
Don Lemon
It's called Journalism First Amendment, all that stuff. For all of you people who believe in the First Amendment, absolutist. There you go. So why don't you talk to the actual person who is in charge of the organization and whose idea it was to have the protest at the church before you start blaming me for stuff for which you have no idea. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Vince
How did that particular line of reasoning work out for Steve Baker from the Blaze? How did that work out? Remember Steve Baker? Steve Baker, not alone. There were a number of journalists on January 6th of 2021 who went in to quite literally cover the events of the day. Unlike Don, Don was participating in a raid on a church by crazed left wing activists. And then he was like hectoring the pastor of the church at the pulpit. I think there's a substantial difference here. But a guy like Steve Baker goes in and covers the events of January 6, 2021. What happened to him? Well, he was prosecuted by the Biden administration for that. So Don, and Don was like rooting all of that on Prosecuting everybody on January 6, 2021. And so now he raids a church in the middle of the service and he's asking for you to consider him differently. I get special privileges. I'm totally different. Prosecute the rest of them, but don't come after me. I just followed them in. I was just doing journalism. Sorry, Don. Sorry. Criminal consequences should befall you as well. And Harmony Dhillon, that's her name. Say her name, Don. Say her name. Harmeet Dylan is her name. She's aware of what you've done. And yes, she should go after you for your criminal violations of the law. It's as simple as that. More ahead on this edition of vince. We've got a lot to get to, a lot to get to today.

Yes, I am sticking around. Frankie 2:40, if the news hasn't gotten to you yet, now it has. Now it has. All right, so what's going on here? We've got, you know, we've got lefties who are acting like lefties again, who are pouring into our churches, attacking the faithful. And here's something to think about. You know, before I even came into today's program, I thought, candidly, I thought that you and I, what we would be discussing this morning is a different Justice Department investigation because the Justice Department is now officially investigating Tampon, Tim Walls and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry for obstructing law enforcement. That's a huge development and it's a very welcome one because again, if you want to fix this, you've got to go to the very top. And the DOJ is now investigating both of these idiots for their behavior. According to a local news outlet, wcco, two federal officials on Friday told wcco, a Minneapolis area television station, that a federal investigation is looking in to whether Walz and Frey tried to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement from carrying out operations. It seems pretty obvious. I mean, you think about their behavior. What of Tim Walls and. And Jacob Fry have been doing? Well, they've been telling people that they have to fight ICE agents in the streets. That's what Jacob Fry said. Remember this moment. Cut one watch and we're in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street to stand by their neighbors. Fight ICE agents on the street to stand by their neighbors. Of course, you see the police Chief standing behind him doesn't say anything. Probably should say something immediately like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're not fighting ICE agents. Instead, his eyebrow just pops up like, oh, that's interesting. I can't believe he said that. But I won't say anything out loud about it. That's cowardice. And then there was Tim Walls. Tim Walls just suggested two weeks ago that Minnesota is now engaged in another Civil war. He was equating the. The insurrection that Minnesota is staging right now to being on the side of the Union in the Civil War. I've got news for you, Tim Walls. If it's a civil war, you're not on the side of the guys who win it at all. Take a look. Here's Tim Walls cut to watch our history. When things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota's first that held that line for the nation on that July 3, 1863. And I think now we may be in that moment that the nation's looking to us to hold the line on democracy. Okay, first of all, he's an idiot in every possible sense. The date in question is not July 3, 1863. July 3 of 1863 was Pickett's Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg. July 2, the day before is the day that he's trying to cite. July 2nd of 1863. The 1st Minnesota Volunteer infantry suffered devastating losses. And why is that? Well, there was a gap in the Union line at the Battle of Gettysburg, and it was the first Minnesota Volunteer infantry that rushed to fill it. 262 men went charging in to fill that gap. It was a deadly day for those men. Only 47 of them survived. 262 went in, 47 survived. What were they doing? They were trying to save the Union. They were trying to save the Union. And in the end, they did, and they suffered devastating losses for it. Tim Walls doesn't even know his history. And in trying to cite that history, first of all, he's diminishing the heroism and legacy of those great men. For one and for another, he's appropriating it in order to stage his own insurrection, which is precisely what he's up to again, which is why we keep talking about how the Insurrection act needs to be invoked. It does. We've got to crack down on this. President Trump has to crack down on this. The time is of the essence, and we're already out of has to happen now. And why is it that people are raiding churches with impunity? Have you noticed that Tim Walls hasn't said anything about this? That these left wing lunatics just poured into a Baptist church and disrupted the whole service. He hasn't said a word. Where are the mayors? Where's Jacob Fry? Where's Keith Ellison? Where's Elhan Omar? They're not saying anything about this. Do they support it? Yeah, I think it's safe to say they do. But here's the biggest takeaway for me. They're cowards. They have breathed life into this chaos. They're beholden to the most radical elements of their base. In fact, they're intimidated by the most radical elements of their base. They're weak. They're weak people. The soy boy mayor of Minneapolis and the governor who waves with both hands are weak people. And weakness breeds chaos. This is Frankenstein's monster run amok. It's out of control. And these weak Democrats don't know how to get this under control. They don't. So instead, their cowardice continues. Their silence continues and the chaos continues. This is a moment for President Trump to step up big time. Insurrection act prosecutions, let's right the ship. Somebody's got to do it. All right, in a moment, more on what's going on in Minnesota. We'll be joined by one of the great reporters who's been covering all of it. Julio Rosas is with us today. Stand by for that. I've been using the bone charge infrared sauna blanket.

All right, I'm happy to have joining us right now one of the great journalists out there who gets on the ground amidst all of this chaos. Julio Rosas is here. He's an author, nationally known independent field reporter, He's Marine. Julio, good to have you with us today, sir.
- [33:25]
Julio Rosas
Yeah Vince, thanks for having me.
- [33:26]
Vince
Okay, so where, where are you reporting from right now, Julio?
- [33:30]
Julio Rosas
So I'm currently in the frozen tundras of Minneapolis in the St. Paul area.
- [33:37]
Vince
What have you seen this weekend?
- [33:41]
Julio Rosas
Well, so it's just a continuation of what we've seen basically since the, the shooting of Renee Goode. And what I mean by that is a lot people are still very angry about it. They're angry over the, the, the other shooting that took place that where you know, apparently three people were attacking an ICE agent and he had a shoot in self defense. So despite the weather, they're still very amped up about it. And really I think this is very much a warning sign of what's to come for this year because if people are willing to Be out there when it's 10 degrees, 30 degrees outside. It was also quite windy yesterday by the federal building. They're willing to come out in significant numbers to cause chaos and to cause mayhem and to fight against federal agents in January in Minneapolis. That, you know, that doesn't bode too well for the rest of the country once it gets warmer for where it's easier for people to be outside for hours and hours on end. And so, yes, this is really the. Like I said, this is really kind of the first warning sign of what's to come for this year because obviously the deportations and immigration enforcement isn't going to stop anytime soon.
- [34:57]
Vince
Yeah. So you anticipate more chaos coming up in the summer of 2026?
- [35:01]
Julio Rosas
Absolutely. Yeah. That's just kind of how I see it for right now.
- [35:06]
Vince
So what is the. What. How would you describe the goals of the people who are showing up outside of these federal buildings? What are they hoping to achieve each day? I know that they claim they're opposed to ICE and they want to see ICE leave. That's the stated goal. But what's the practical goal, do you think? Each day, are they trying to inflame some sort of fight with ice? Is this about kind of throwing their own bodies on the line in order to create negative imagery about the Trump administration? What. What's the goal each day for these people?
- [35:35]
Julio Rosas
Yeah, so it is a bit of a PR battle. They do want to create these images of these, you know, mass federal agents cracking down on peaceful protests, but they're also trying to actively disrupt operations. It's the same thing that we saw in Portland last year. Same thing we saw at the facility in Broadview outside Chicago. Or they were blocking the driveway, you know, preventing cars from leaving and going. So it's the same thing here. I mean, that's, that's, this is their go to method because, you know, they know DHS operates out of these buildings. They know that, you know, there's, there's road access that can be stymied. But then also that's why they're following DHS vehicles when they're out in the field, because they're blowing. It's the blow whistles. It's the same thing what Renee Good was doing.
- [36:21]
Vince
Right.
- [36:21]
Julio Rosas
I mean, she, she parked her car, you know, perpendicular to where the road was so that she could disrupt this, this caravan that. That was in, in the neighborhood. Right. So that, that's what their goal is. They're trying to create these bad images. They're trying to create bad pr for dhs. And I would say it is, that is certainly working when you look at the news coverage, when you look at what people are posting on social media with the half truths that, that they're, that they're saying about what's going on. But it is also at the end of the day to try to disrupt, you know, disrupt arrest, prevent arrests. And that's why they have, that's why they have whistles. But of course they have no idea who ISIS targeting or border patrol is targeting. And I, I've been on many ride alongs where they're targeting hardened criminals who you don't want as a neighbor. I certainly wouldn't want them as a neighbor. We're talking about people who are, you know, convicted pedophiles, people who are drug dealers, you know, gun runners, you know, just all this stuff. And so by them doing this, they're actively working to protect these people who one should even be in the country, number one. But also number two, who will have done horrible things either back in their home country or while they've been here in the United States.
- [37:32]
Vince
Look, some of the people that ICE is picking up, a lot of the people are the kinds of people who deserve summary executions. I mean they are the worst people on the planet. And we're talking people who are guilty of multiple homicides, they've picked up people who are guilty of strong armed sodomy of children. I don't know if I have to even be any more explicit than what I just said. That person deserves a summary execution. Like the idea that you would even be here and they're free running around Minnesota. And so ICE is picking them up. ICE is doing important, decent work. And yet you're saying that people that are on the ground who are screaming at ice, some of them or huge percentage of them, have no idea the kinds of people ICE is picking up.
- [38:14]
Julio Rosas
No, no. And that's what's unfortunate about what's going on because you know, all of this wouldn't have been necessary. You know, this, this, this big push in all these cities, all these sanctuary cities if it wasn't for the Biden Harris border crisis, all of this. You know, if Democrats want to be angry about what's happening, they need to be angry at the Biden Harris administration for putting the United States in this position in the first place to where mass deportations are necessary to try to undo the damage that was done the past four years. And that doesn't even begin to address the illegal immigrant population that was here prior to 2021, which was pretty significant even then. So the American people voted for this. I know it's kind of cliche to say it at this point, but people keep saying, like, oh, I didn't vote for this. Or like, Trump only said he was going to go after the worst of the worst. Is it? No, no, he didn't. He stated repeatedly, time and again, him, Tom Holman, Stephen Miller, J.D. vance, they all said, we're going to carry out the largest deportation in American history. And what do you think that means? I mean, yes, obviously you do want to prioritize, you know, the people that we were just talking about. But at the end of the day, Americans voted for mass deportations, which is to get as many illegal aliens out as possible.
- [39:27]
Vince
I mean, the idiocy of this moment is that the rapists and the murderers are easy to hand over, right? To the feds. They're super easy. They're in your custody, in the jails. Don't be a sanctuary city, just work with the feds. And yet Democrats refuse to, as best you can tell. Why is that? Why are Democrat leaders so averse to even getting the pedophiles out of the country? What's that about?
- [39:52]
Julio Rosas
They're pro criminal. They hate America. I mean, I don't mean to be so glib about it, but I mean, there's really no other explanation as to why they would, they wouldn't want to get these people out of their cities, but they, they are. It's just, it's Trump derangement syndrome to the extreme where, you know, okay, Trump wants to deport all these people. So therefore, we're going to do everything we can to protect these people, even though we might have them in custody already. And so again, if Democrats want to be upset with what's happening, they should also look to their local leaders and say, hey, at a bare minimum, let them into the jails, let them into the prisons. But because the Trump administration wants to do that, they naturally have to be opposed to it.
- [40:35]
Vince
So, Julio, as far as you can tell, when you get out there, can you identify the people who are in the mob who are in charge of it? Are there people who take leadership positions in the crowd? And who, who is leading all of this chaos?
- [40:49]
Julio Rosas
Well, it depends. It depends on who is organizing what. I mean, like, for example, that when they stormed the church in St. Paul yesterday, that, that, that's a very famous activist in the area. You know, she is a very prominent BLM leader. She was the president of the local chapter here, the naacp. And so it just depends. Right, because the progressive far left movement prides itself on being decentralized. They pride themselves on being like the people. Right? So that implies like, it's just like everybody's part of it, everyone has a stake in it, which, which is true to very extent, but it just, like I said, it just depends on what the action is and it depends on what they want to accomplish. If it's more confrontational, if it's more violent, they tend to just work autonomously. I mean, that's antifa's, that's how they operate. Because they want to make it as difficult as possible. That should there be blowback from law enforcement, it makes it harder for them to be able to, to be caught. And of course, the, you know, antifa here in, in the, in the Twin Cities is very, very strong because they viewed what happened back in 2020 as a victory. I mean, they've neutered the, the Minneapolis Police Department. They, they are a lot, a lot of, A lot of the officers are very frustrated that they can't do anything to actually take on criminals. So when it comes to crowd control, when it comes to responding to unrest, MPMD can't really do anything. Minneapolis relies on the State Patrol. They even had, you know, when they were attacking the hotels where they thought ICE agents were at, which, spoiler alert, there weren't any. They, Minnesota deployed their Department of Natural Resources officers instead of mpd because MPD can't really do anything. That's how ridiculous this is. And that's why they're so emboldened. The far left is so emboldened to be able to do these things against federal agents because they're used to their local police not responding in any significant way.
- [42:55]
Vince
What about the Trump administration? What are you seeing in terms of their presence and what does the Trump administration need to do here? Is it possible for, for President Trump and the federal government to get all of this under control?
- [43:08]
Julio Rosas
I think so. I mean, they're not backing down, which is, which is a good first step. But I think also, I mean, having even just signaling that the 11th Airborne, which is based in Alaska, is basically being put on standby for potential deployment. That's significant. I mean, it's certainly. They certainly would be at home right now here in Minnesota with the temperatures and it's supposed to get colder. So I actually think, you know, barring anything other significant taking place within the next couple of weeks, I think things are going to slow down in terms of street action just because it's going to be like negative 20, like this time next week. But again, they are preparing for fighting season, which is, you know, probably around April, May. So the Trump administration would definitely, and I think they know this, they're going to take advantage of that lull to prepare even more to crack down on not just, you know, carrying out these operations, but also responding to this unrest.
- [44:03]
Vince
It might be getting colder, but it looks like these, these left wing terrorists in some cases are taking their actions indoors. We just, I spent most of the show talking about how they poured into this Baptist church this weekend in St. Paul, which is, I think it seems like things are being taken to another level now. If you're like pouring into a church and menacing the congregations, do you expect to see more of that?
- [44:27]
Julio Rosas
Yeah, potentially. I mean, but I think now because you see Don Lemon and like the people that were involved, they're like trying to cover their tracks, trying to, you know, cover their, you know, cover themselves by saying, oh, well, you know, this is protected by the First Amendment. And it's like, well, I don't know about that. And so I think the DOJ is going to do a good job in holding the people accountable. Just because they're crime. I mean, they live streamed their own crimes, you know, alleged crimes. They didn't make any attempt to hide their faces. We know who was involved. I mean, you just, you just subpoenaed Don Lemon's phone to see who he was talking to that was organizing all this. Right. So I think now this should be a slam dunk, you know, and I'm no legal expert, but, you know, the other legal experts that I know said that this is a slam dunk. So if they're able to act quickly and put these people, hold them accountable, maybe not. But then again, you don't know, that's the scary part because people are so angry. They're caught in this constant outrage cycle with their social media and what they're seeing in the news about how evil it is to enforce immigration law. It's really radicalized people to do things that they maybe not would have done. So, yeah, we're in it for the long haul this year. And I thought last year was like, pretty bad in terms of the reaction. And I, and I thought that, okay, maybe it might be like, like that again this year, but, you know, a little bit later. But nope, we, it had to be Minneapolis in January. If there was going to be any place in January, it would have been Minneapolis to, to kick things off a riot season. And so I'm very much expecting to Be very busy this year.
- [46:03]
Vince
So, Julio, for those who don't realize, Julio, you've covered a lot of riots since 2020. You've been. You've been keeping an eye on all of this stuff going on in the country. You're often front and center capturing this on camera. What is it like in terms of your safety? I. We just saw a video. I'm going to play it coming up, of Nick Sorter being. Having his camera equipment stolen from him this weekend, and then he was dragged by his hand in the door of a vehicle down. Down a pretty big stretch of roadway. What's the safety situation like as you cover this?
- [46:38]
Julio Rosas
It's a little bit to be desired, but that's what makes it fun. And it's just important, right? It's important to be at these things because like I said, there's. There's all these people that have their own agendas to get, you know, with their side of the story, even though it might not be the complete story. And so, you know, I've just always viewed it as being important to be on the ground, show what's actually happening. And yeah, there's, there's dangers for that because obviously the far left antifa. They don't like my reporting because it's accurate. It's actually showing what they're doing. And so you just take it day by day, you know, just trusting God, as I do on a daily basis. And, you know, I'm going to keep doing it as long as I'm able to.
- [47:16]
Vince
All right, well, keep up the good work. I always appreciate you, man. And stay safe out there.
- [47:20]
Julio Rosas
Okay, thanks.
- [47:22]
Vince
Thanks, Julio. There he is. Julio Rosas, great reporter, United States Marine, covering what's going on on the ground in Minneapolis right now. That's the scene of the chaos. So, of course, that's where he goes. And there's a great group of reporters who do this from all different outlets who I've gotten the pleasure to know through the years and just so impressive. We call them generally the riot squad, and they're out there covering all of it. Thanks, guys. Okay, let me bring up Nick Sorter. Now, Nick's a great independent journalist. We've had him on the show a bunch. I've had him stop by the radio show a lot in the last two weeks or so because he just keeps being in the middle of some of the most important stories, capturing all this really important footage, whether it's about the. The. The anti ice lunacy and terrorism or it's the Somali fraud operations going on in the state of Minnesota, he's just been doing well. But this weekend we get this new video of Somalis stealing Nick's camera. So Nick is in his vehicle. He's got his window rolled down. And the beginning of the video, some Somali grabs his camera. Talk about Third world. Grabs his camera directly out of his hands inside of the car, and then takes off running with this thing. Gets into a vehicle and then drives off. Nick gives chase. And when Nick tries to open the door of the thief's vehicle, his hand gets stuck in the handle. And you're going to see him in this video get dragged down the road until, as I understand, that Nick was able to rip the handle off of the door in order to free his hand. Watch this. Take a look.
- [48:57]
Renee Good
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What did she just do?
- [49:05]
Vince
Thief steals the camera. Nick gives chase. Perspective here from Nick's colleagues inside the vehicle she took. Next camera, they're running down the street. You see Nick's got his hand stuck in there, the driver's side door. Now he's running with the car. The thief is not stopping. Nick is stuck. This is as perilous as it gets. I mean, this is a very dangerous situation for Nick. Nick is just running so that he doesn't get crushed by the rear tires and trip over or anything. His hand's stuck the whole time.
- [49:38]
Julio Rosas
They just throw my camera right out of your hand while you're in the car. That's the you wanted, right? What the you wanted, right? That's what you did, man.
- [49:45]
Vince
Listen. Some twerp just screaming at him, are you a coward? You have to leave. Random Somalis then start yelling at him, he's got to get out of here as if he is not in the United States of America. You gotta leave. What do you mean I gotta leave? It's America. I'm standing on an American street in an American city. How about you leave? And they're screaming at him. The guy just had thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment stolen from him. I saw that it was. I believe it was Mike Davis, the great Mike Davis, the Article 3 project who jumped in on X this weekend and said, don't worry, Nick. I've got you covered. He made a big contribution to Nick's reporting. Donated some money to him on Venmo. And he said, I gave you enough to get two cameras to replace the one that they stole from you. So Nick getting that new. That new gear, which is good news. That means he can stay out there, keep capturing all of this. Nick's got to stay safe, though, I keep. Every time I talk to him, and just like Julio, all these guys stay safe, you know, do it. These. All these people are covering their faces. Do what you can. Kind of maintain that low profile, you know, get that. Get the mask on, whatever is necessary. But, man, they're going absolutely crazy. How sad that you can't, as a journalist, cover what's going on in an American community without being assaulted. If you're going to tell the truth. That's. That's perilous. That's perilous. My buddy Chris Plan often says, nothing gets you in trouble like the truth. Nothing. And Nick's. Nick's doing that. Yeah. That's crazy. So, yeah, no Nick, somebody asked, did he report it to the police? Yeah, they. I think they did right away. In fact, in the longer footage, Nick is instantly asking his colleagues if anybody's called 911 yet. And yes, they do have the. At least they do have the. The license plate captured on. On camera. So, yeah, they're chasing this guy down. Hopefully we get more answers on that really soon. Somebody says, hey, Vince, who is this? Fritz231. Hey, Vince. least Haley shows up clean shaven. Hey, it's MLK day. I don't know, I just felt like I'd grow the beard out a little bit and. Yeah, you're right. Haley's much better looking. What do you want? What do you want me to do? I don't think it matters if I shave. I think she's gonna beat me in that. That category. Yeah, it's fine. That's fine. I hope Julio is armed, says D.L. rice, 64. Yeah, I hope so, too. I hope just. These guys just need to stay safe. And staying strapped is a good way to do it. It's a very good way to do it. Yes, indeed. Somebody likes the beard. Thank you. Thank you. I'm gonna shave it tonight, though. Beards get frustrating very quickly, and then I have to shave them and get rid of them. That's always the plan. All right, so, you know, that's. That's it. That's really. That's. That's the big news out of Minneapolis right now. The chaos continues, and you and I are desperate for operations here to. To go after these guys. That. That really needs to happen. You know, the feds are charging all sorts of people. Do you see that? The federal government has just charged a man who threatened to kill J.D. vance. You see that the feds have charged a man who threatened to bomb JD Vance when he went to the Disneyland Resort last year. Remember, JD Went to Disneyland and he had lefties screaming at him like lunatics because they're emotionally incontinent, can't control themselves. He goes there. And when he was there, there was a guy called Marco Antonio Aguayo who posted to Instagram that pipe bombs had been placed in preparation for JD Vance's arrival at Disneyland. And he was just tracked down and arrested on Friday for posting plans on social media to kill J.D. vance. They just caught him. Took a while. They finally got him into custody. They. He had to surrender his phone. The FBI, the Secret Service, and local police have all investigated the case, and now they've slapped him with these federal criminal charges. Bill Asali is the US Attorney there in California who announced all of this. He said the following about what exactly went down as they got this guy. He said, Marco Antonio Aguayo, 22, of Anaheim is now in the unhappiest place on earth. That's pretty funny. Today, Aguayo was arrested and charged with threatening to kill Vice President Vance with pipe bombs last summer when the vice president and his family visited Disneyland. If convicted, Aguayo faces up to five years in federal prison. Five years. That's it. Kind of feel like. Might get more for threatening to kill the president or the vice president. He says a threat to kill a public official is a federal crime. First Amendment rights don't extend to threats to kill or injure others, especially our nation's elected officials. Such conduct will not be tolerated and will not go unless punished. Yeah, I was looking through these documents, and I don't know if you can see this if you're on screen. Rumble.com. vince, look at the. Look at the guy's email address. He's got. So this guy that they've. They've busted Aguayo, his email address is dumb little boy 28gmail.com Dumb little boy. Well, yeah, that's. That's fair. That's true. He's a dumb little boy. But now he's a dumb little criminal. They got him in custody. So very good news. Very good news indeed. Other good news, the United States military found and killed a terrorist leader going into the weekend. Who was behind that attack on those Iowa Guardsmen, Those National Guardsmen from Iowa in Syria. Remember when President Trump promised that we would kill the bad guys who did this to the National Guardsmen, killed our National Guard? Why are Iowa National Guardsmen in Syria? Can we go back to that? Why do we have them in Syria at all? But here's the. Here's the answer. U.S. forces have eliminated the terror leader who was linked to the death of those National Guardsmen. American military forces carried out a strike in Syria, killing these Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists. That announcement coming to us from Central Command CENTCOM on Saturday, the Friday strike was the third CENTCOM executed. Third that CENTCOM had executed, rather, as a part of Operation Hawkeye strike, which the Department of War Combatant Command launched in retaliation for that ambush which killed National Guardsman Sergeants Edgar Brian Torres Tovar and William Nathaniel Howard, as well as their interpreter. CENTCOM previously carried out other attacks against ISIS targets in Syria on both December 19th of 2025 and January 10th. The deceased terrorist's name, Bilal Hassan Al Jasseem, an experienced Al Qaeda affiliate leader who plotted the attacks and was directly connected with the ISIS gunman who killed those National Guardsmen. They said the death of a terrorist operative linked to the death of three Americans demonstrates our resolve in pursuing terrorists who attack our forces. Yeah, FA fo. We wiped another terrorist off the map. Let's get our guardsmen out of Syria.
- [57:00]
Julio Rosas
By the way.
- [57:01]
Vince
No more. No more Iowa National Guardsmen in Syria. There's no reason for that. There's no. I haven't heard anybody justify that. Not, not. Well, at least let's, let's get them out of there. And then finally, President Trump has up the ante this weekend in his pursuit of Greenland. He really wants Greenland, ladies and gentlemen. He really would like Greenland. For the United States, this is a national security priority. It's designed to push back on China's encroachment on the Western hemisphere and to help protect the mainland United States by having our full perimeter protected. That would include Greenland. Over the weekend, President Trump slapped tariffs on eight European countries. Eight of them. He announced in a truth social post that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland are all now going to face a 10% tariff on all their goods starting on February 1st. And then the rate will jump to 25% on June 1st. And then it stays until a deal is reached for the, quote, complete and total purchase of Greenland. He says it's time, it's time for Denmark to give it to us. World peace is at stake, he wrote. And he also said that Russia and China want Greenland. And, and he mocked the. Denmark's defenses is quote, two dog sleds. It's not much of a defense system. European leaders are whining right now. They're whining about this. Those, those nations are whining. They've released all sorts of bitchy statements saying that they're very mad at Trump for imposing tariffs on them. Well, I think President Trump made it really clear how you get, get, get out of this. Tell the Danes it's time. It's time. Greenland is ours now. We need it. And we need China and Russia not to be there. So that's the game plan. We've got a lot more to discuss today on the big national radio show.
