This crowd is very angry. I spoke with multiple people today who say that they did not ask for this. They were angry. ISIS here. They were scared something like this would happen. The desire to get out and protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is, that is a patriotic duty at this point [00:00:15] in time, but it needs to be done safely. Today, following the fatal shooting of an American citizen in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has stated that it is Americans patriotic duty [00:00:33] to protest Ice safely after she was shot and killed. Now, Jake, you have seen the video of the ice shooting, so you're filled in on the details. - What are your $0.02? - Yeah. So just to start here, I thought it was a totally unjustified shooting. [00:00:49] Like, really? You thought his life was in mortal danger. And so if you see it as a lot of us are seeing it, and it is a bit of a Rorschach test which will come back to us then. Of course you're going to protest. I mean, if you if this was the Biden era and they were enforcing Covid restrictions [00:01:11] and the same exact woman was in the same exact situation with a law enforcement officer, I don't see the right wing going, oh, no, it's cool. I'm glad they shot and killed her. And we're good with it. We're good with it. So our politics is infecting how we literally see an event. [00:01:27] That's exactly right. Right. So, I mean, just think about what what transpired on January 6th, 2021. You know, one of the people who stormed the Capitol did get shot and killed. And, the right wing was outraged by that. [00:01:42] Yeah. So, guys, instead of doing what aboutism on every single one of these, like, okay, well, then you guys were wrong about Ashli Babbitt, but you're wrong about this. Why don't we have one standard and a principle that we apply to irrespective of politics and partizanship. Right? [00:01:57] So, look, I know that a lot of people looked at that video and thought, he was right to shoot her. I see it all over social media, but I can't believe it. I can't believe it. You saw it from all angles, including the angle that where she's passed him [00:02:14] and he's still shooting into her window from the side that his life was in danger. So I'm just it's amazing how people are affected by a partizan lens. Guys, can we actually cue up that video from the first story where we covered it? [00:02:32] Because I do want to play it again for the purposes of this discussion about the protests. But while you guys get that, let me give you some more details. So we broke down the shooting earlier today on the show. That segment will be linked in the description box if you want to take a look at that. [00:02:47] Now, that aside, here's more from Governor Tim Walz. We won't let them tear us apart, will not turn against each other. To Minnesotans, I say this. I feel your anger. [00:03:03] I'm angry. They want to show. We can't give it to them. We cannot. If you protest and express your First Amendment rights, please do so peacefully, as you always do. From here on, I have a very simple message. We do not need any further help from the federal government [00:03:22] to Donald Trump and Kristi Noem. You've done enough. There's nothing more important than Minnesotans safety. I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. So that was the response from the governor of Minnesota, Jacob Frey. [00:03:41] The mayor of Minneapolis is not accepting that the Ice agent shot and killed an American citizen in self-defense. We showed that in the earlier coverage that we did. But I do want to play the clearest video that I've found of the shooting [00:03:57] so everyone can see it and judge for themselves. And also keep in mind what Jake said about the Ice agent continuing to shoot even as he was on the side of the vehicle as she was attempting to flee. Let's take a look. [00:04:23] No. No, no. Shame. Shame. Oh my God. What the. What the. You just. What the did you do? [00:04:41] And we do have a slowed down version. And I want you to pay attention to the placement or how her wheels turn. Take a look. [00:05:11] I want to also just note. Quick, quickly. She backed up because she was trying to flee. She wasn't trying to run him over. She wouldn't have backed up if she intended to run him over. Yeah. So I've got two more thoughts on on the slow motion version of that. [00:05:30] You see clearly two shots after she's already cleared him, she's already cleared him, and he's still shooting into the car. You can't say that his life is in danger if he's already past the car. It's just impossible to say that. [00:05:46] It's just physics. It's just obvious. It's right there on tape. Right. And so you could say. Oh, well, he thought his life was in danger when she first started speeding up. What did she get up to? Two miles per hour. I'm being literal. I'm being literal. Two miles per hour. [00:06:03] And what was his first reaction? His first reaction was to go for his gun. You can rewatch the tape. Your first reaction should be step out of the way. Exactly. Then you know you want to draw a gun to threaten her, but not to shoot her. You want to try to find a way to apprehend her. You've already got her plates on the record. [00:06:19] It's not like we can't chase her down. Right. ET cetera. But why don't you move out of the way if you think your life is in mortal danger? Why is your first reflex? Let me murder this person, and then I'll figure it out afterwards. So, guys, look at it. Watch. [00:06:35] Watch. Okay, so she's now okay. The wheels are spinning. You're worried, but. Get out of the way. Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Why are you in the way? Why are you drawing your gun? What are you doing? And now he shoots once in the front. Second time in the side. Third time on the side. No. No. Look, I'm not going to be on that jury. [00:06:54] That jury is going to have a completely different conversation than this, because they're going to look at his history. They claim that he was hit once before and dragged. I don't know if that's true. I don't know if it will be a mitigating circumstance. They'll look at a lot of things. They'll look at that first time when she's her wheels are spinning [00:07:10] and he's still in front of the car, and they'll have to decide beyond a reasonable doubt whether he killed or murdered her. Homicide, manslaughter, whatever it might be. But. But we're not in that courtroom right now. We're in this courtroom where we're all trying to decide what happened here [00:07:27] and how should we react. Don't forget noble mobile, saving you a ton of money. So a lot of people are signing up now and beginning to realize what the hell? Why am I paying so much to Verizon and AT&T? So your bills only $50 a month, but it can actually be less because they give you money back if you don't use your data. [00:07:43] So if you're paying more than $50, there's no reason to not switch. It's crazy not to switch because same phone, same number, same contacts. Literally nothing changes. Titcomb. Titcomb. All right, we'll be right back. So the most important thing is do not react in anger and be peaceful. [00:08:02] Tim Walz is right about that. Because if you go and you clash in the streets, go to the streets. - They have no problem killing you. - Yeah. They just they have no problem killing you. That's what I'm worried about. Please be safe out there. And then when and then it becomes a bigger and bigger mess. [00:08:18] And then both sides start attacking each other. And they've done a brilliant job of dividing us 100%. Just as we were beginning to unite on a bunch of super important things. Oh, now we all have to be at each other's throats over this. So. And if you're on the right. [00:08:33] First amendment, brothers and sisters, what did we talk about? Freedom. Right. Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom to, to actually protest your government. That's also in the First Amendment. So you can't say you're against protests. You can say you're against violent protests and people who break the law. [00:08:51] No question. Okay. That applies equally to both sides. They're throwing bricks through windows anyway. By the way, if you're on the left and you see anyone breaking the law or doing violence, turn them in. Turn them in because A they're going to use that against you. B I don't even really believe they're on the left. [00:09:07] And if you're doing that, you're not on the left. You're not you're an idiot and you're causing great damage. Forget the left to the country if you do violence at this point, right. So get those guys out of your midst. If they're in your midst. But overall guys, whenever you see. [00:09:25] Okay, so that's a bad Ice agent in my opinion, doing a totally unjustifiable shooting. Let's say there's a protest and a guy throws a brick through a window, etc. That's a bad actor, terrible guy should be arrested, etc. That doesn't mean 2000 protesters or are 20,000 protesters are all guilty. [00:09:43] By the way, it also doesn't mean every single Ice officer is guilty. That's right. That guy is guilty. Okay. And so I've said this many times on January 6th because we're principled and fair and honest. The people who went to Trump's speech, but did not go to the Capitol and did not break in, had nothing to do with the break in. [00:09:59] Right. So you can't blame the guys who were at the speech. That doesn't make any sense. They have every right to go to a speech. They have every right to protest. Right. If we take away the right to protest, is it really America? Is it really freedom? So. And if you can't see why people would want to protest over this, [00:10:14] one of their neighbors is shot dead. In a situation like this, you're trying super hard not to see it. Yeah, I agree, I do want to go to CNN's reporting on the ground in Minneapolis. Let's take a quick look at that. There has been a crowd here for several hours in the aftermath of the shooting. [00:10:32] People here are very angry. What you're hearing now is, you know, a lot of anger that's being directed toward the Minneapolis Police Department. We've seen multiple federal law enforcement agencies on scene here the FBI, the U.S. Marshals, Customs and Border Patrol locally. [00:10:49] We're seeing the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and the Minneapolis Police Department. This all comes amid this ramped up immigration effort here, where DHS has 2000 DHS agents are spread throughout the Twin Cities. Again, their largest immigration operation to date. [00:11:06] Again, people here in Minneapolis are very angry, and we're very angry about that operation at all. Now, today, their anger is heightened. Right now it is being directed toward the Minneapolis Police Department, who they think in this moment is protecting Ice and not them. [00:11:24] I shared this in the initial story that we did about it. But the victim here is a 37 year old woman, an American citizen by the name of Renee Nicole. Good. She was a mother. So now she her children will grow [00:11:42] up without their mother in a situation that could have been prevented. She didn't need to be shot and killed. I think that's pretty clear from the video. Yeah. One last thing, guys. Not everything is worthy of a death sentence. A death sentence is the most extreme thing in the world. [00:11:59] And when you shoot someone in the face, that's a death sentence. So you could say, look, I get it. I would have been worried for my life in that situation. I don't get it, but I understand that others view it differently. Right. And look, we had this debate about the skateboards and the plastic bags [00:12:15] and all the things that were thrown, and would that make you feel like you're in mortal danger? And different people have different opinions? Okay. And a totally different the Kyle Rittenhouse situation. Okay. I get that people have different opinions, but do you really think that in that situation you would have killed her and left her her child motherless? [00:12:33] There's no way, like, come on, please tell me that you wouldn't have killed her. That is not something worthy of killing someone over two miles per hour. Going by, you know this is madness. Don't let them divide us. [00:12:49] They want us at each other's throats. And if you do that on both sides, you're giving the people in power the greatest gift. That's exactly what they're looking for here. And should unite as Americans. Have decent law enforcement that protects us. [00:13:05] And obviously, we should allow for protests. Left. Right. Center. And don't cheer on state sponsored violence against its citizens. - Don't normalize that. - Yeah. I mean, for the folks who are worried about jackbooted thugs of the government [00:13:20] and government tyranny, you should be a little bit careful. And if you think, oh, it's okay, it's just the left wing. It's the left wing today. What's it going to be tomorrow? Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets its wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
